Chapter 914
Snow Moon Genius Tournament
"Lin Xiao, your cultivation level is not low, especially since the Immortal Realm is currently in an era of explosive growth of Origin Qi. Your breakthrough will be much faster than you imagine."
Lin Xuan sat on a recliner to the side, watching Lin Xiao who was cultivating frantically in the courtyard. He took a bite of the immortal fruit and spoke indifferently.
“I don’t care about any of that. I just want to grow up quickly and find my father and mother.”
Lin Xiao was naked, his body radiating heat. An extremely sharp force was repeatedly surging and roaming within him, causing him to clench his teeth and turn pale.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but nod in approval as he watched Lin Xiao's reckless dedication to cultivation.
Cultivation requires a balance of urgency and slowness. If you blindly bury yourself in hard work, not only will your cultivation speed be slow, but you may also damage your foundation.
But this will not happen to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao not only possesses the Four Symbols Sacred Body, but also has a master like Lin Xuan by his side, so there is absolutely no need to worry about harming himself by acting too hastily.
"I often hear you talking about your father and mother. What's wrong with them?"
Lin Xuan picked up the teacup, moistened his lips, and felt the progress of swallowing before casually asking.
"My father was a general in the empire, and my mother was the most famous alchemist in the empire. However, during a battle with the empire, my father and mother were ambushed, which not only caused the empire to lose more than a hundred important cities on its borders, but also caused the empire to lose many generals and elite troops. This is why my father and mother were branded as traitors of the empire."
As Lin Xiao spoke, his eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and his hands clenched tightly.
"But I don't believe it. My father had never lost a battle before that one, but he lost the battle at Hidden Dragon Valley inexplicably. There must be something wrong with that!"
Lin Xuan listened to Lin Xiao's words without saying much; this kind of story really didn't interest Lin Xuan much.
"Perhaps your feeling is right. The Immortal Realm is too vast, and there are many bizarre stories. Your story is not so bizarre. At worst, you were betrayed by your own people, or the enemy forces are so powerful that your parents cannot resist them. That's all."
Lin Xiao sighed helplessly: "Therefore, I must grow up as quickly as possible. I need to investigate the cause of what happened, and that requires strong support!"
"Don't worry, with my guidance, you'll soon be able to become a Golden Immortal."
Lin Xuan smiled confidently, as if the Golden Immortal Realm was not a high-level realm.
This time, Lin Xiao did not show any doubt towards Lin Xuan, because after half a month of cultivation, Lin Xiao had been completely conquered by Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan's cultivation philosophy and methods enabled Lin Xiao to progress extremely rapidly, breaking through another realm in just half a month.
"It's almost time. It's time to unlock the Four Symbols Sacred Body within you. Once the Four Symbols Sacred Body is unlocked, you will need to find the blood of the Four Divine Beasts to fully activate your physique."
Lin Xuan briefly sensed the power fluctuations within Lin Xiao's body, then looked at Lin Xiao earnestly and said...
Lin Xiao was overjoyed upon hearing this, as he was finally about to activate his physique.
Such special physiques are extremely rare even in the immortal realm.
After all, there are only a few hundred thousand types of physiques discovered in the entire universe, but the number of people who have sacrificed themselves is countless. A single immortal realm has trillions of people, and even in the immortal realm, those who possess special physiques are one in trillions. In the legendary core of the immortal realm, which is the Ninety-Nine Rivers, special physiques are one in a hundred billion.
"Brother Lin Xiao!"
A crisp sound broke the tranquility of the courtyard.
Lin Xuan's soul slowly disappeared into the courtyard and returned to the Eight Immortal Tower.
A delicate figure rushed into the courtyard.
This was a girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. She was tall and slender, with exceptionally straight and long legs, especially her calves, which were smooth and glossy. Her face was rosy and beautiful; she was breathtakingly gorgeous. "What's wrong, Yu'er?"
Lin Xiao didn't even need to see who it was before he immediately said with a smile.
"Brother Lin Xiao, I just heard my second aunt say that the Snow Moon Genius Tournament will be held in three years. The empire has already begun to make arrangements and preparations for the Snow Moon Genius Tournament in three years. And I heard my mother say that the top prize this time is still Uncle Xiaotian's exclusive weapon, the Overlord Spear!"
"What!?"
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and his voice sounded somewhat distorted.
"My father's Overlord Spear."
Lin Xiao's eyes seemed somewhat vacant, and he muttered the words "Overlord Spear" to himself.
"Yes, it's the Overlord Spear. They've gone too far. Uncle Xiaotian used this Overlord Spear to conquer vast territories for the empire. Now Uncle Xiaotian has disappeared without a trace. Is this how they treat a great contributor from the past? It's outrageous!"
Yu'er was filled with righteous indignation and felt sorry for Lin Xiao's father.
Lin Xiao gave a bitter laugh, a laugh tinged with self-mockery. This was the empire his father had protected, especially since the current emperor was his father's sworn brother from his youth.
As a result, this is how his father's sworn brothers are treating him now.
"I must get this Overlord Spear back!"
Lin Xiao clenched his fist tightly, his eyes filled with determination.
Yu'er looked at Lin Xiao with some worry.
"But Brother Lin Xiao, the weakest contestants in every Snow Moon Genius Tournament are all experts at the Profound Immortal Realm. Can we do it?"
Yu'er directly placed herself and Lin Xiao together, so she was saying "we" instead of "you".
"I must go. The Overlord Spear belongs to my father. As his only son, I must take it back to the Lin family!"
Lin Xiao's expression at this moment was one of unwavering determination.
Yu'er felt a little regretful for telling Lin Xiao about this, because with Lin Xiao's current strength, going to the Snow Moon Genius Tournament would mean certain death.
"There are still three years left, Yu'er, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Lin Xiao looked at Yu'er and smiled.
Although Lin Xiao had only spent half a month with Lin Xuan, he had already come to trust Lin Xuan completely during that time.
Elder Xuan said that if he could unlock the seal on his special physique, then he definitely could. Once his special physique was unlocked, his strength would surely soar to new heights. He might just be able to compete in the Snow Moon Genius Tournament.
"But the Snow Moon Genius Tournament only lasts for three years."
Three years is a fleeting moment for cultivators in the immortal realm, equivalent to three days or even less for mortals.
This amount of time is simply not enough for cultivation.
"Don't worry, Yu'er, I can definitely do it. It's my duty to protect Father's honor." (End of Chapter)
