C1485 Identity
He is widely acknowledged as the preeminent prodigy of Fengwu State, a title unclaimed for centuries. Alongside Murong Xingyue, he is one of the rare few in Fengwu State with the potential to ascend to the Martial Monarch Stage. Yet, his achievements extend beyond this.
Not long ago, Lin Xuan returned to his homeland, taking his family and sect with him. In doing so, he also resolved Fengwu State's most dire threat: the Demon Force known as Yinming Sect. The Yinming Sect's might necessitated a coalition of all Fengwu State's powers just to hold their ground, and even then, they were at a disadvantage. However, upon his return, Lin Xuan single-handedly neutralized the entire Yinming Sect. His power had not only eclipsed the foremost of his generation but had also established him as the strongest entity across Fengwu State.
This monumental rise in strength occurred in just over a year since his departure to join the prestigious Elemental Spirit Sect. His progress has been nothing short of terrifying. The extent of his talent, fortune, and destiny was already astonishing, but it seems they had still underestimated him.
Lin Xuan's capabilities, opportunities, and fate have advanced even further, far beyond their wildest imaginations. In just a few short months, he has achieved yet another leap in power. The Devil Cloud Sect, which had thrown the Dongyuan Continent into turmoil and ignited widespread conflict, now lay subdued under his command. Moreover, he has brought the East Saint Sect, Elemental Spirit Sect, Thunder Yang Pavilion, and other major sects under his banner, forming the Tianyuan Palace and establishing himself as the de facto ruler of the entire Dongyuan Continent.
Upon hearing this news, Bai Ningbing, Wang Xufeng, and their companions were left utterly stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief, and they struggled to accept what they were hearing, almost convinced they had misunderstood.
What kind of joke is this?
They were all young warriors of the same generation, who had previously joined forces in the Tianyuan Secret Realm to raid the prodigies from other states.
Back then, Lin Xuan, although much stronger, was still slightly behind them in terms of cultivation.
It hasn't been that many years, has it?
And now Lin Xuan has leaped through countless realms to become the ruler of the entire Dongyuan Continent?
What sort of colossal joke is this?
Isn't this just too preposterous?
Yet, these words came from an Emperor Level Expert, someone they could not even hope to meet on a regular basis, let alone surpass. They could only catch whispers of his presence occasionally.
They had no choice but to believe it.
Furthermore, this Emperor Level Expert was brimming with reverence and awe.
So much so, that he only referred to him as the Hall Master, not daring to speak his name directly.
Such was his authority.
Indeed, it was only before departing that Zhang Leshan learned of Lin Xuan's true identity from the higher-ups of the Elemental Spirit Hall.
He too was incredulous, astounded beyond measure.
Who would have guessed that the one who annihilated the Devil Cloud Sect and brought the five major forces to heel was not some ancient monster but a bona fide member of the younger generation?
He was a genuine disciple of the Elemental Spirit Sect.
In the Central Region of the Dongyuan Continent, Lin Xuan's name still carried weight among the younger generation and some Emperor Level Martial Cultivators.
His exceptional performance made him a formidable opponent among his peers.
Within the six major forces, he was considered a top-tier prodigy.
In time, as he grew, his chances of reaching the late period of the Emperor Level were significant.
Even reaching the pinnacle of the Emperor Level was within the realm of possibility.
But then, the Devil Cloud Sect sparked a war starting from Devil Essence City.
Lin Xuan vanished without a trace, and his whereabouts became unknown.
At that time, the sudden surge of the Devil Cloud Sect's profound strength left the entire continent in turmoil, and no one had the bandwidth to concern themselves with a young disciple, no matter how talented.
Little did they know that upon his return, he would be utterly transformed.
Before his last disappearance, Lin Xuan's cultivation hadn't even reached the Martial King Stage. Upon his return, however, he was an enigma, his power inscrutable and immeasurable. The combat prowess he demonstrated was profoundly terrifying. To him, even those at the pinnacle of the Emperor Level were mere ants, effortlessly crushed beneath his might. The Devil Cloud Sect was obliterated by his hand, its destruction sending waves of helplessness and fear across the Dongyuan Continent, effectively neutralizing a dire crisis.
Lin Xuan went on to subdue the five major forces, transforming them into the five great halls of the Tianyuan Palace, thereby unifying the Dongyuan Continent. Those aware of Lin Xuan's true identity were left in utter shock, unable to contain their astonishment. Yet, no resentment brewed among them, no unwillingness to be overshadowed by someone younger.
In an astonishingly brief span of time, Lin Xuan had transcended several major realms, ascending to the legendary status of a Half-level Emperor. His aptitude was unparalleled across the continent. Moreover, it was speculated that he had encountered some extraordinary fortune or legacy. These speculations filled the hearts of many, but Lin Xuan's combat effectiveness was undeniably authentic.
With a single strike, he shattered the Devil Cloud Sect's formidable barrier, which had previously annihilated numerous peak Emperor Level cultivators, and razed half of their stronghold. Sun Yan, the peak Emperor Level cultivator from the East Saint Sect, failed to inflict even the slightest damage on Lin Xuan with his self-destruction, and was instead vanquished by him. The might Lin Xuan exhibited was befitting of his stature.
Lin Xuan was not known for mercy. His decisiveness in extermination and destruction was unwavering, not hesitating for a second. The Devil Cloud Sect, along with its numerous branches, implicated millions of martial artists, all of whom met their fate by his single decree. Should anyone dare to harbor rebellious thoughts, Lin Xuan would not hesitate to eliminate them.
In Lin Xuan's presence, even those at the peak of the Emperor Level were insignificant. None could stand against him. The entire continent was malleable in his hands, like a ball of clay to be shaped or flattened at his whim. Consequently, despite knowing Lin Xuan's identity, no one dared to challenge him or inquire about the secrets of his meteoric rise. They remained in awe, their respect for him undiminished.
In this world, strength reigned supreme.
As long as you wielded this power, the methods or opportunities you employed were inconsequential.
Bai Ningbing, Wang Xufeng, Chen Yunyan, and the others struggled to believe it.
Likewise, when they relayed the news to their respective sects, the leaders of Fengwu State were equally incredulous.
But all that was trivial.
What truly mattered was that Lin Xuan's offhand remark presented them with a chance to alter their destinies.
It could very well be the most significant opportunity of their lives.
By joining Tianyuan Palace, they could maximize their innate talents, with a substantial chance of advancing to the Martial King Stage. That alone was more than they had ever hoped for.
