Fantasy: Reject the Supreme Bone at the Beginning

36: The coronation ceremony, with all nations paying homage.”Ding! Detecting the Host’s current predicament, the System now offers two choices!”

Immediately after, the blue light screen, which hadn’t appeared for a long time, materialized before Lin Xiao’s eyes.

”Choice One: Recruit Lin Haotian, obtain the Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique!”

”Choice Two: Do not recruit Lin Haotian, obtain the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Healing Art!”

After glancing at the potential rewards, Lin Xiao quickly made his choice.

”System, I choose one,” Lin Xiao said in his mind.

Although the reward of the Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique was useless to Lin Xiao, he still chose it.

Because Lin Xiao’s reason for choosing one was not for the Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique, but for the Luck power within Lin Haotian.

That’s right, it was Luck power.

Due to the chaos tree sapling in Lin Xiao’s body, which could assimilate the Luck of multiple people and gather it onto one person, Lin Xiao chose to recruit Lin Haotian.

”Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique, it has been automatically stored in your System inventory!”

As the System’s voice faded, Lin Xiao instantly sensed a ball of light, containing a mini sword, appear in his System inventory.

It was precisely the Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique described by the System, an upgraded version of the Innate Sword Bone.

Since it was useless to him, Lin Xiao planned to use it to win over Lin Haotian.

And at this moment, the great battle between Lin Haotian and Lin Caifeng was already drawing to a close.

When both of them were almost exhausted, divine light suddenly burst forth from Lin Caifeng.

Like a Phoenix Nirvana, she was fully revived, pushing Lin Haotian off the arena with a single palm, signaling the end of the sixth round.

A moment later, Old Ancestor Bai Yun also stepped forward to announce the competition results.

”In the sixth round of the competition, Lin Caifeng wins, Lin Haotian loses. Congratulations to Lin Caifeng for successfully securing the fifth sequence position and a qualification for a single baptism in the Dao Comprehension Holy Pool.”

”The seventh, eighth, and ninth rounds of the competition are the winner’s bracket sequence ranking challenge matches. These matches will determine the rankings of Sequence One, Sequence Two, and Sequence Three of my Lin Clan. I ask the three members of the winner’s bracket to seize this opportunity.”

”Now I will announce the match schedule.”

”Seventh round match: Lin Xiao versus Lin Jiuge.”

”Eighth round match: Lin Xiao versus Lin Wuyuan.”

”Ninth round match: Lin Jiuge versus Lin Wuyuan.”

”Please prepare, the matches will begin in five minutes.”

After Old Ancestor Bai Yun finished speaking, a brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Lin Caifeng’s Face.

Lin Haotian, on the other hand, looked somewhat pale and left the competition grounds with a regretful expression.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly chased after him.

Lin Haotian, who had already walked away, was stunned to see Lin Xiao catching up.

”Brother Xiao, why are you here?”

”Nothing, I have something I want to give you,” Lin Xiao said.

He placed the Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique from his System inventory into Lin Haotian’s hand, and then quickly left before Lin Haotian could react.

Lin Haotian watched Lin Xiao leave and was suddenly stunned. However, upon looking at the item Lin Xiao had given him, his Face instantly paled with shock and he felt somewhat incredulous.

”Heavens, it’s the divine Origin of the Supreme Sword Physique, from the ancient top hundred Physique ranking list!”

After carefully putting it away, Lin Haotian looked in the direction Lin Xiao had left, and a hint of respect couldn’t help but rise within him.

”Thank you, Brother Xiao. From today onwards, even if you ask me, Lin Haotian, to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of fire, I will not hesitate.”

He, Lin Haotian, had always been a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring; to die for a friend is to not shrink back.

This was Lin Haotian, the pure heart of a Sword Cultivator... After Lin Xiao returned to the competition grounds, the match was almost ready to begin.

”The seventh round of the competition is about to begin, please contestants take the stage,” Old Ancestor Bai Yun said.

His eyes, as he looked at Lin Xiao, sparkled with a keen glint, and he muttered in his heart, ”Lin Xiao, oh Lin Xiao, I truly look forward to your upcoming performance.”

As Old Ancestor Bai Yun’s voice fell, two figures quickly appeared on the arena.

It was Lin Xiao and Lin Jiuge.

”You’re quite good, but just because you can defeat Lin Kuang doesn’t mean you’re my opponent,” Lin Jiuge boasted.

Lin Xiao remained silent, not bothering to respond to him, and directly charged forward.

After the two engaged in a fierce battle for several hours.

Finally, the entire competition concluded with Lin Xiao’s move, the Life Extinguishing Palm of All Beings.

Like Lin Kuang, Lin Jiuge was directly sent smashing into the protective barrier above the Lin Clan Ancestral Land by Lin Xiao.

It was truly a miserable sight!!!

This was the consequence of showing off in front of Lin Xiao.

Not long after, the eighth round of the competition began.

Lin Xiao didn’t take long to end the match in the same manner, securing victory and successfully advancing.

However, Lin Wuyuan fared much better than the previous two; he was only knocked off the arena.

As for Lin Kuang and Lin Jiuge... let’s just say no more about it.

Repeating the ’whipping of the corpse’ is meaningless.

After Lin Xiao’s victory, a long time passed before the Lin Clan’s Sequence Competition finally drew to a perfect close.

As for the ninth round, Lin Wuyuan won with an extremely slight advantage, becoming the Lin Clan’s Sequence Two.

After the competition, the specific rankings of the Lin Clan’s sequences were as follows:

Sequence One: Lin Xiao.

Sequence Two: Lin Wuyuan.

Sequence Three: Lin Jiuge.

Sequence Four: Lin Kuang.

Sequence Five: Lin Caifeng.

Substitute Sequence: Lin Haotian.

As for what to do after the Sequence Competition, it was to hold the coronation ceremony.

This sequence coronation ceremony was an ancient ritual that had existed in the Lin Clan since ancient times, presided over by at least one Saint Realm Ancestors of the Lin Clan coming out of seclusion.

Not only would it Host a grand feast for heroes, but it would also announce it to the heavens. The scene would be immensely vast, truly a symbol of the Lin Clan’s glory.

However, of course, all these ceremonies could only be held three months later, after the Laws of the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain loosened.

Otherwise, Lin Wuyuan and the others would be unable to leave the Lin Clan Ancestral Land; they would be pursued and struck by heavenly lightning the moment they stepped out, making it impossible to hold the ceremony.

——————

Three months later, Tianlin Ancient City, where the Lin Clan was rooted.

Immortal Phoenixes cried, true Dragons roared, and immortal clouds permeated the air, like a fairyland on earth.

Within the ancient city, countless beings came and went, bustling with activity, all casting gazes of immense reverence towards where the Lin Clan stood, discussing animatedly.

”Such numerous auspicious phenomena appearing all at once... Could it be that the Lin Clan’s coronation ceremony is about to begin?”

”I think so. Just now, I saw people from the Sacred Emperor Sect and the Gu Clan all gathering towards the Lin Clan.”

”Truly worthy of being the Lin Clan, one of the most powerful Families in our Ancient Desolate Dao Domain. What great Face they have.”

”Who says otherwise? I heard that for this coronation ceremony, the Lin Clan sent invitations to all the forces, big and small, within our Ancient Desolate Dao Domain!”

”Hiss~~~ You mean that today, almost all the forces within our Ancient Desolate Dao Domain are gathered within the Lin Clan? That’s too terrifying.”

”Of course, why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself! The Qin Clan, Gu Clan, Meng Clan, Sacred Emperor Sect, Xianling Ancient Sect, Lin Xiao Holy Sect, and Misty Holy Land—these great immortal forces have all sent people. The scene is truly magnificent!”
