The Sovereign’s Ascension

But Lin Yun’s scripture was clearly different. It was a Profound Martial Technique. Only those martial techniques that exceeded the Xiantian Martial Technique would take the form of a scripture. Furthermore, everyone could tell that the Profound Martial Technique was extraordinary with just a glance.

Down on the lotus seat, Bai Lixuan’s face became ugly at this scene.

“Holy shit! Lin Yun actually obtained a Profound Martial Technique!”

“Even Bai Lixuan had obtained a Transcendent Xiantian Martial Technique. Just how did Lin Yun accomplish it?”

“This boy is like a mystery. It’s hard to see through him.”

“Now that you think about it, he must be confident in placing his life on the line to obtain a lotus seat.”

The Azure Sun Realm opened once a decade, and the Sky Piercer Altar rarely bestowed Profound Martial Techniques. The last time a Profound Martial Technique appeared was a few hundred years ago.

Everyone in the plaza was shocked, but at the same time, it was understandable.

Whoosh!

Lin Yun descended on the Sky Piercer Altar under the starlight’s envelopment. He only had time to examine the scripture after he landed on the ground, “The Great Wind Scripture!”

It was an ancient-looking book with three words written on it, the Great Wind Scripture. This was a powerful palm technique. But as Lin Yun landed on the ground, an uproar rose once more with everyone looking at him.

“A Profound Martial Technique? Just how did this sword slave get so lucky…” Wang Ning nearly vomited blood when he looked at the jade strip in his hand. The Sky Piercer Altar had only given him an Intermediate Xiantian Martial Technique. Aside from those Quasi-Profound Martial Realm old men, his harvest could be ranked in the bottom. He was insignificant compared to Lin Yun.

“This kid must have used a cheap trick! I refuse to believe that his talent is stronger than Bai Lixuan!” Wang Bo’s face was dark. He was clearly unhappy with Lin Yun’s achievements.

But no matter what everyone said, it was undeniable that Lin Yun had significantly benefited from the Azure Sun Realm. So much so that even if everyone else added up, they couldn’t be compared to Lin Yun.

Suddenly, the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party headed towards Lin Yun.

“What are they trying to do?”

“They’re not going to snatch it, right? The Sword Firmament Pavilion is such a huge sect, and how can they do something like this before everyone?”

But when they thought about it again, it was uncertain. What Lin Yun had obtained was a Profound Martial Technique that belonged to an ancient sect!

Lin Yun was also puzzled, looking at them. At the same time, he held onto the token with vigilance. Not long later, the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party walked over. When they approached, they permeated a strong pressure, and they did not do it on purpose. All of them were accomplished in the sword dao, and they would release their aura even if they didn’t do anything.

“Your name is Lin Yun?” Bai Lixuan asked, stopping a hundred meters away from Lin Yun.

What powerful sword intent! Lin Yun was inwardly shocked. As a swordsman, his perception was stronger than ordinary people. He could tell that Bai Lixuan was stronger than WAng Bo.

With a judgment in his heart, he pondered briefly before replying, “I am.”

“Very good. Now, here’s a great opportunity waiting for you as long as you nod your head. If you want, I can invite you to join the Sword Firmament Pavilion…” Bai Lixuan replied softly.

His words immediately caused an uproar. So it turns out that Bai Lixuan wanted to invite Lin Yun into the Sword Firmament Pavilion.

“This brat got lucky…”

“Bai Lixuan is actually inviting someone to the Sword Firmament Pavilion? It looks like he looked at Lin Yun differently.”

“As long as Lin Yun joins the Sword Firmament Pavilion, his future will be boundless.”

The Great Qin Empire had four transcendent sects, and they had a high requirement on the aptitude, comprehension, and martial soul for their disciples. As for the Sword Firmament Pavilion, it was the holy ground for swordsmen.

Invite me into the sect?

Lin Yun’s talent made sense for Bai Lixuan to throw him an invitation based on his performance in the Sky Piercer Altar. If that was true, then this might be a pretty good opportunity.

But just when Lin Yun wanted to agree, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “I’m naturally interested in the Sword Firmament Pavilion. But what’s the request?”

Bai Lixuan was somewhat surprised by Lin Yun’s question. He pondered briefly and replied, “Hand your scripture will do. It’s a simple request, and don’t tell me that you can’t accomplish it.”

Lin Yun’s heart calmed down when he heard Bai Lixuan’s request. So Bai Lixuan was ultimately interested in his Profound Martial Technique.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can agree to this simple request.” Lin Yun rejected without batting an eye.

In the next second, the faces of the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s disciples were unsightly. They were unhappy with Lin Yun for being so untactful. It was an invitation personally issued by their senior brother, but Lin Yun put on airs in public?

“Interesting… Do you think that you can protect this scripture with your strength? Don’t you understand the crime of possessing treasures?” Bai Lixuan smiled. “If you give me the scripture, I will be handing it to the sect. Did you think that I’m trying to take advantage of you? But since you don’t cherish this opportunity, then there’s no need for me to bother with you anymore. Let’s go!”

The other Sword Firmament Pavilion’s disciples glared daggers at Lin Yun before leaving. This scene had exceeded the expectation of many people. They never expected that Lin Yun would reject Lin Yun so decisively, rejecting an opportunity to enter the Sword Firmament Pavilion.

Exchanging a Profound Martial Technique to be the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s disciple was naturally not worthed it. But it was another matter since it was an invitation issued by Bai Lixuan. After all, he would be offending Bai Lixuan if he refused.

If someone else were in Lin Yun’s shoes, they would consider it seriously. In the end, they would hand over the scripture.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures descended beside Lin Yun; they were Ming Ye and the grey-clothed elder. Ming Hua smiled bitterly, “Congratulations, Brother Lin, for obtaining a Profound Martial Technique. I’m afraid that this must be a powerful martial technique.”

“Unfortunately, it’s a little too dazzling.” Lin Yun smiled.

“You can save the trouble if you’re willing to take a little loss. Bai Lixuan isn’t wrong at all. Many people are looking at you with greedy eyes. A Profound Martial Technique might be precious, but…” Ming Ye sighed.

Waving his hand, Lin Yun replied, “Brother Ming, that’s not the case. Even if I only have a Xiantian Martial Technique, I will also not give it out.”

Ming Hua looked at Lin Yun, dumbfounded.

Calmly, Lin Yun replied softly, “Once I give it away, it will mean that I’ve bowed down my head to Bai Lixuan. If I bow my head, do you think that I will be able to raise my head in the future in the Sword Firmament Pavilion?”

It was easy to bow, but raising his head back wasn’t easy.

Ming Ye and the grey-clothed elder exchanged a glance. They’ve never pondered over this question. Furthermore, the two of them did not find anything wrong with bowing their heads to Bai Lixuan. After all, Bai Lixuan’s talent was there for all to see.

Lin Yun’s eyes flickered and continued, “It’s fine if he’s stronger than me. But he’s the one that lost to me in the Sky Piercer Altar… I might not be stronger than him now, but that doesn’t mean that it will stay that way for my life.”

His words left the two shocked. They never considered this problem. When the three of them spoke, the Sword Firmament Pavilion and Demonic Moon Villa’s sect got together. Bai Lixuan and Si Xueyi seemed to be discussing something among themselves.

“What are these people trying to do?” Lin Yun was baffled when he saw this scene.

Glancing over, Ming Ye hesitated briefly before he replied, “It’s said that there’s a Palace Tomb in the depth of this Burial Ground.”

“Palace Tomb?”

Ming Ye nodded his head, “In the past, this Palace Tomb cannot be approached. But this time, the demonic miasma in the Burial Ground thinned out for some reason. I believe the two sects must be trying to head to the Palace Tomb.

“It was rumored that before the ancient sect got destroyed, the sect transferred all their treasures into the Palace Tomb. If you’re able to take a single one out, it will be able to cause great waves in the Great Qin Empire.”

Without any ripples on his face, Lin Yun replied, “Even if there’s no demonic palace, I’m afraid that it won’t be easy to enter the Palace Tomb.”

He wasn’t interested in the Palace Tomb and treasures left in there. He had already obtained enough harvest in the Azure Sun Realm. So he did not want to be involved in any more troubles.

Nodding his head, Ming Ye replied, “That’s for sure. Bai Lixuan wouldn’t have joined forces with Si Xueyi if it was easy. Brother Lin, are you not interested? After all, you might have a chance with your Cosmic Treasure.”

Lin Yun was stunned. He naturally guessed something and looked at Ming Ye with a smile, “It looks like your intention is on the Palace Tomb right from the beginning, Brother Ming.”

Before the Azure Sun Realm opened, Ming Ye’s face changed when he saw Bai Lixuan and Xi Xueyi. However, it was uncertain right now. Ming Ye wanted to head to the Palace Tomb just like the two sects.

“There’s nothing I can keep from Brother Lin.” Ming Ye smiled bitterly. “I might have some chance if the demonic miasma is still around. But right now… I can only watch the show.”

Ming Ye clearly came prepared with a treasure to deal with the demonic miasma. When Lin Yun listened to Ming Ye’s words, he smiled and kept his silence. The demonic miasma disappearing had something to do with Lin Yun, but it would be bad if Ming Ye found out about it.
