Countless people marveled, “He’s really going to dominate this generation, isn’t he?”

Some powerful experts lamented, “Yun Qingbai had once occupied the top place on the Genius Gold Rankings for many years and was a true apex figure in the whole Upper Nine Realms. Although he didn’t compete again after his reappearance, there’s no doubt that his strength was more than enough to rank in the top three. I didn’t think he’d still lose to Demon God Lin.”

As the news spread, those who opposed Lin Xun all revealed upset and helpless expressions, looking as if all hope had been lost.

Lin Xun was just too strong!

Since entering the Upper Nine Realms, he had been fighting left and right and was still undefeated.

Wu Lingdao, Underworld Son, Ancient Buddha Son, Bai Longting, Yun Qingbai… Time and time again, whenever the world thought that there was finally someone who could suppress Lin Xun, the latter would still be able to swim against the current and turn the tide in the end.

This was simply appalling.

“Just how strong is Demon God Lin now?” This was the question that arose in the heart of every cultivator after all the shock, uproar, and marveling died down.

“One thing for certain is that Demon God Lin is a dual cultivator of the spirit and qi. His cultivation is at the seventh longevity stage, and his martial dao has probably reached the peak!

“Moreover, his control over great dao power is no less terrifying. He should have mastered more than one type of heavenly grand dao like the True Dragon Grand Dao, Immortality Grand Dao, Tai Chi Grand Dao…

“The scariest thing is probably his trump card, which is an extremely rare grand dao power. It bears uncanny resemblance to the legendary Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer that was Yun Qingbai’s signature!

“As for exactly how terrifying Demon God Lin is, I can only say that only a handful of people in this generation are capable of being his match!”

Above was the analysis and conclusion made by an apex giant.

“I think it’s hard-pressed to deal with this person even if seven or eight apex giants of the current generation join hands…”

“Maybe those at the caliber of Imperial Son Shaohao and Fairy Ruowu are able to compete with Demon God Lin.”

Many people had already calculated how to suppress Lin Xun’s near-invincible momentum.

“Alas… If Demon God Lin competes for the Ultimate Inheritance Land, who can stop him?”

Some Genius Gold Rankers couldn’t help but feel worried under the pressure that Lin Xun posed.

“Heh, want to know how strong he is? It’s very simple. If he plans to compete at the Ultimate Inheritance Land, he’s bound to clash with Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, and many other supreme experts. It will be very clear who’s stronger and who’s weaker then.”

Many people looked forward to the emergence of the Ultimate Inheritance Land. After all, there were very few left in the Upper Nine Realms who could potentially be Lin Xun’s opponents like Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, Ye Mohe…

When the curtains to the Supreme Realm closed, who among them would become the number one supreme cultivator? Or would it be Lin Xun?

Everything would be decided in the Ultimate Inheritance Land!

“It’s said that Demon God Lin is heavily injured. The Ultimate Inheritance Land will appear before the Supreme Realm closes, which is in less than two months. Within such a short period of time, will he be able to fully recover?” Many people sneered, believing that Lin Xun had no chance at all to compete with other supreme figures due to his severe injuries.

“We may be able to tell if Demon God Lin will take the Genius Gold Rankings test. If his name appears on the ranking, then he’s definitely going to participate in the Ultimate Inheritance competition,” someone predicted.

Everyone knew that Lin Xun had never once taken a Genius Gold Rankings test since entering the Upper Nine Realms. His name had never appeared on the ranking.

It was like a mystery that incited curiosity!

With Lin Xun’s battle prowess, how high would he be on the Genius Gold Rankings?

And now that it was also possible to guess from this whether or not he would participate in the ultimate competition, everyone was paying close attention.

……

When the entire Upper Nine Realms had heated discussions over the battle on the Demon Slaying Platform, Lin Xun had returned to Flying Star Mountain surrounded by his many friends.

Today, Flying Star Mountain was exceptionally lively.

Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird had to step in and receive visitors who were close acquaintances, such as Ji Xingyao, Xiao Qinghe, Yue Jianming, Chi Lingxiao, Ye Chen, Xiao Cangtian, Le Caiwei, and Bai Lingxi…

There were also many well-known experts like Mi Hengzhen, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, Yuan Fatian, and Ye Mohe.

A grand banquet was held that day.

“When Lin Xun was in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, they all said that he was a loner who opposed a bunch of ancient lineages and the enemy of the whole world who no one dared to be friends with. Now it seems that it’s all just a lie.” Xiao Cangtian laughed out loud.

At the fully packed banquet, everyone was eating and chatting over the tables. One could randomly point at any person, and that would be a supreme genius of the current generation.

And all of these people were here to congratulate Lin Xun today!

If the Ancient Wasteland Domain knew about this, then there would certainly be a huge uproar.

Those who were present were no longer Cyclic Derivation stage cultivators, but the top Supreme Kings of Kings on the path of longevity.

In the outside world, they would be the strongest and most dazzling existences under the Saint stage. Who would dare to ignore them?

Not to mention that compared to those ordinary old monsters at the King stage, they were younger with greater potential and a much brighter future!

Even without their own influence, the forces they represented were all ancient dao lineages. They were the behemoths of the Ancient Wasteland Domain like the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms in the West Infinity World, the Ye Clan of Crape Myrtle Mountain, the Moon Sun Sacred Palace…

Lin Xun might have gained many enemies over the years and offended many major powers, but he had also gathered a powerful group of like-minded friends!

“Humph! I’m not his friend!” Yuan Fatian snorted.

“Come on, my lil’ bro Yuan, don’t be so distant. Is it because I didn’t entertain you well enough last time?” A’lu walked over with a bottle of wine. He wrapped his thick arm around Yuan Fatian’s shoulder and started pouring wine for the latter.

Yuan Fatian was immediately flustered, looking like he wanted to cry. Last time, Toady and A’lu had ‘invited’ him to drink and got him drunk to the point that he had had to reveal the cultivation method of the Nine Pure Sacred Light Art.

Not long after, Toady and the big black bird also came over to personally greet Yuan Fatian, putting a devastated look on the latter’s face as he put his life on the line to drink with them.

The others couldn’t help but smile when they saw this.

Ye Mohe, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, and Yuan Fatian didn’t exactly count as Lin Xun’s friends, but they were definitely not enemies either.

Lin Xun was a bit surprised by their appearance, but he was also delighted.

“Brother Lin, are you going to participate in the Ultimate Inheritance competition?” asked Le Caiwei with a smile after three rounds of wine and all five flavors of delicate appetizers had gone around.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room became quiet, and many gazes were directed at Lin Xun.

“It depends.” Lin Xun thought about it and said, “You all know that I was heavily injured after the duel with Yun Qingbai. My priority is to focus on recuperating. Of course, if I recover in time, then I naturally won’t miss this kind of event.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

“Just for your information, my cultivation has already broken through again. If you really get involved, then I definitely won’t be polite,” declared Yuan Fatian coldly.

As soon as his words echoed, he was pinned down by A’lu and Toady for another round of wine. The poor man then drank until he was completely disoriented.

The banquet did not end until several hours later, and the guests took their leave one after another.

……

“The Saint’s Guide is related to the secret of becoming a Saint through the supreme path. It’s undoubtedly the greatest fortune in the Upper Nine Realms.”

After the banquet was over, Lin Xun, Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird gathered and discussed the Ultimate Inheritance Land.

“Those like us have all stepped into the seventh longevity stage. The Saint stage isn’t far off, so the matter of becoming a Saint naturally needs serious consideration,” said Toady.

Everyone agreed, “Indeed.”

After the nine longevity tribulations was the Saint stage, a realm that all cultivators dreamed of and longed to reach!

Throughout the ages, cultivators were a dime a dozen, Kings were commonplace, but Saints were one in a million!

To become a Saint meant to share longevity with eternity, to compete with the sun and the moon, and to make laws with every word one said. A Saint could overturn the world with a single move of his hand and was an existence that stood above all beings.

Lin Xun had known very early that it was not easy to become a Saint!

It required heavenly luck, great perseverance, and outstanding spirit and bravery. So much so that it was almost impossible to step into this stage.

And becoming a Saint from the supreme path was even more difficult.

“There are True and False Saints. Most Saints in the Ancient Wasteland Domain are False Saints who walk the path of their predecessors with limited achievements. It’s just a world of difference from the True Saint stage,” analyzed the big black bird in a serious tone. “It’s the same case in the ancient era. The path to the True Saint stage has always been a heavenly rift that very few can cross. If we can get that Saint’s Guide, then perhaps we will have a little more certainty when breaking through to the Saint stage.”

“What we want is to become a True Saint from the supreme peak. This might have been impossible in the past, but it’s different now thanks to the unprecedented great age. Blackie is right, we must fight for this fortune,” said Toady solemnly.

“What do you think, Boss?” A’lu looked at Lin Xun.

“Do your best within your capability.” Lin Xun had different considerations about his path.

He still remembered that before he had left the Ziyao Empire, the emperor had told him that he would have to return to the lower world to seek his opportunity to become a Saint!

Although the lower world was regarded as a barren land by the Ancient Wasteland Domain, no one knew better than Lin Xun that it hid many great secrets.

For example, one of the four great dao dominions – the Return Dominion – was located in the lower world.

Or in the depths of the Spirit Burial Sea, there was a Dao Burial Sea Mound that was home to a mysterious terror.

Or the Blood Kill Battlefield, the Mulberry Woodland…

“Okay then.”

Everyone knew that Lin Xun’s top priority was to recover from his injuries and not the matter of the Ultimate Inheritance Land battle.

However, they also knew that if there was a glimmer of opportunity, Lin Xun definitely would not miss it!
