79: Emerging from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm

“Heavenly Emperor! It is the aura of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor!”

“Heavens! The legend is actually true! The Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm has appeared!”

“The Ancient Heavenly Emperor is a supreme existence who transcended this world and reached the legendary Realm of ‘Immortality’! His Legacy...”

“Opportunity! A supreme Opportunity! Obtaining it allows one to glimpse the Immortal Dao!”

Throughout the Nine Provinces, whether Human Race, Yao Race, or other races, all Cultivators who reached a certain level went mad!

The Ancient Heavenly Emperor!

That is a legend even more ancient and mysterious than the Emperor-level Factions!

It is a supreme existence that truly transcended the shackles of this world and reached an unknown “Immortal” Realm!

Now, his Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm has actually appeared!

This is not just an Opportunity for the younger generation; this is a peerless Opportunity enough to drive all factions, including those Emperor-level Factions with the Foundation of the Xiaoyao Realm, to madness!

For a time, the Nine Provinces shook, and the winds and clouds gathered!

Countless powerful auras rose from all directions, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, rushing recklessly towards the Boundless Desert in the Central Plains!

Old Ancestors of Saint-level Forces emerged from seclusion, hidden Loose Cultivator experts appeared, and even envoys from Emperor-level Factions rode ancient war chariots, tearing through the Void Realm to arrive!

Those Saint-level Force successors who had just begun to stand out among the younger generation had burning gazes and soaring Battle Intent!

They knew that this was the stage that would truly determine the future landscape!

If they could obtain the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance, then the Seven Saints of the Lin Clan and any peer Prodigies would all be thoroughly trampled under their feet!

Battle Vault held a war halberd and was the first to transform into a black streak of light, rushing towards the pillar of light!

Mysterious Heaven Son stepped on auspicious clouds, his Dao robes fluttering, following closely behind!

Phoenix Nine Songs transformed into a Golden Crow, carrying the Heaven-Burning Fire, tearing through the sky!

The Buddha Son, the Demon Son, various Saints and Goddesses... all top Prodigies, without exception, all set off!

The previously bustling Nine Provinces instantly emptied, and everyone's gaze was focused on that golden pillar of light that reached the sky.

At this moment of worldwide madness and rushing currents, the Lin Clan in Qingzhou still maintained its puzzling silence.

The gates of the ancestral hall's Quiet Room were tightly closed, and there was no movement from the places where the seven Saints were in seclusion.

This caused the existing doubts from the outside world to reach their Peak.

“Look! They don't even dare to compete for the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm; the Lin Clan is indeed afraid!”

“Heh, it seems they have made up their minds to be cowards!”

“It's a pity for those seven good seedlings, following an Old Ancestor with no courage...”

However, no one knew that deep in the ancestral hall's Quiet Room, Lin Dao slowly opened his eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, landing on that golden pillar of light reaching the sky, and a meaningful arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

“The Legacy of the Immortal Heavenly Emperor... The timing is just right.”

He did not immediately emerge from seclusion, nor did he wake the seven Saints. He merely separated a wisp of Divine Thought, quietly sinking into the Void Realm, probing towards the direction of the Boundless Desert.

...

Just as the outside world's doubts and mockery of the Lin Clan reached their Peak, and almost all gazes were focused on that golden pillar of light in the Boundless Desert—

Qingzhou, Lin Clan main residence.

An indescribable, majestic aura, like a sleeping primordial Vicious Beast awakening, suddenly erupted from deep within the ancestral hall, instantly dispersing the silence of the past month!

Immediately after, seven even sharper, more vast pillars of light, like unsheathed divine weapons, rose boomingly from seven Immortal Caves of seclusion, piercing straight into the sky!

The seven pillars of light had different colors and distinct auras, but all carried a pressure that made one's Soul tremble!

One was cyan, with Sword Intent soaring to the heavens, as if it could cleave the galaxy!

One was crimson gold, with Qi and blood like a Dragon, shaking the heavens and earth!

One was brilliantly starlit, deep and unfathomable, reflecting the heavens!

One had a Phoenix crying out, flames burning the sky, noble and unparalleled!

One was Chaos-colored, with natural Dao charm, ten thousand Laws returning to the origin!

One was pure white and scorching, like a great sun descending into the sky!

One was deep blue and cold, like moonlight scattering down!

The appearance of these seven pillars of light instantly caused the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Qingzhou to boil violently, and even some top experts in the distant Central Plains felt a response, looking towards Qingzhou with suspicion and uncertainty!

“This is... the Lin Clan?!”

“What a terrifying aura! Have they emerged from seclusion?!”

“This pressure... how is it possible? It's more than ten times stronger than a month ago?!”

The gates of the ancestral hall's Quiet Room slowly opened, and Lin Dao stepped out.

He was still in the same cyan robes, his face calm, but the aura flowing around him seemed to merge with the entire world, deep and unfathomable. Just standing there, he gave people a sense of insignificance, as if facing an endless sea of stars.

Although he did not deliberately release his cultivation aura, the trace of Dao charm naturally exuded made the space for ten thousand li around him slightly distort.

His gaze swept over the seven pillars of light reaching the sky, and he nodded slightly.

The next moment, seven figures appeared on the square in front of the ancestral hall as if teleporting.

Lin Hao, still in green robes, but his eyes were deeper, his Sword Intent restrained around him, yet it seemed as if a single glance could shatter falsehood.

His cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm!

Moreover, his Foundation was so solid and his Sword Intent so pure that it far exceeded those of the same level!

Ye Chen, his stature seemed a bit more burly, and under his bronze skin, it seemed to contain a terrifying power capable of shattering stars with a single punch. His Qi and blood were surging like the sea; standing there, he was like a humanoid primordial Vicious Beast.

His cultivation, ninth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm!

Lin Yun, in his double pupils, galaxies flowed, as if containing two real Universes; wherever his gaze reached, the Laws were submissive.

His aura was deep as the sea, his cultivation at the ninth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm!

Phoenix Spirit, she had grown a little, shedding some of her childishness. The flame rune between her brows was like a true divine seal, and she was surrounded by crimson golden Phoenix True Fire, noble and majestic.

Her cultivation, Peak of the eighth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm!

Lin Feng, his aura was the most peaceful, as if he had merged with the Dao. But if one perceived carefully, one could discover that Dao charm flowed around him; he was immune to all Laws and had an affinity with all Daos.

His cultivation, ninth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm!

Yang Yan and Moon Radiance, the siblings stood side by side, their Taiyin and Taiyang Divine Power harmoniously intersecting, faintly forming a huge Yin and Yang Taiji diagram behind them, emitting an aura of creation and destruction.

Both of their cultivations had reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm!

The seven stood together, their auras intertwining, triggering heavenly phenomena, causing the winds and clouds to change color, and the sun and moon to lose their light!

Every single one of them was far, far stronger than before their seclusion!

In just over a month, it was a transformation of rebirth!

This was the chemical reaction produced after the top-tier treasures bestowed by Lin Dao combined with their own Heaven-Defying Physiques and solid Foundations!

“Respectfully welcome the Old Ancestor out of seclusion! Congratulations to the Saints on your success!”

Led by the Acting Clan Head, all the Lin Clan disciples were extremely excited, shouting in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

Lin Dao's gaze swept over the seven Saints with majestic auras, as well as the Lin Clan elite disciples below who had also progressed rapidly and had burning gazes, and he nodded slightly.

“The time has come.”

He spoke slowly, his voice calm yet spreading throughout the entire Lin Clan, “The Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm has emerged; this is an eternal Opportunity, and my Lin Clan naturally must take a trip there.”

With a wave of his sleeve, an invisible, great power enveloped the hundreds of Lin Clan elite disciples who had already been selected, including the seven Saints.

“Follow me to the Secret Realm!”

As his voice fell, Lin Dao stepped out, and a Chaos passage naturally formed in the Void Realm under his feet, extending to the endless distance!

He took the seven Saints and hundreds of Lin Clan elites, stepped into the passage, and instantly disappeared!
