Chapter 928
Three years later.
In the Tianfeng Mountains, a demonic beast at the Seventh Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm was punched into the mountainside, sinking deep inside, its entire skeleton shattering into powder.
"The Sixth Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm... its power feels boundless!"
Lin Xiao felt the power in his fists, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement.
Lin Xuan lazily swayed his body, even though he was only in a soul form.
"Not bad. The effects of the Vermilion Fruit I ate are quite good at the sixth tribulation of the Profound Immortal Realm. Judging from this, with just a little more, the seventh tribulation of the Profound Immortal Realm will probably be a natural progression."
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with Lin Xiao's cultivation speed. It only took him three years to go from the First Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm to the Sixth Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm, which was an extremely astonishing speed.
Even with the arrival of the current great era of martial arts, the speed of six tribulations in three years is still extremely astonishing.
The faster Lin Xiao cultivates, the faster Lin Xuan can repair his physical body.
Furthermore, Lin Xuan is increasingly hesitant to show his face, as the number of figures from the Soul-Binding Hall is growing, with even Immortal King-level Soul Hall experts occasionally appearing.
"Elder Xuan, now I should go back to participate in the Snow Moon Genius Tournament. I want them to know that my father's Overlord Spear is not something anyone can take away!"
Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with determination; he was no longer the good-for-nothing who could be bullied at will three years ago.
"It all depends on you. Although I'm not very willing for you to go back and take the risk, a man in this world does need to follow his heart in some things, to do what he should do and not do what he shouldn't do, but he should always be careful."
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Xiao. Over the past three years, the feelings between Lin Xuan and Lin Xiao had gradually deepened.
Looking at the person in front of him who shared the same surname, Lin, and even bore a slight resemblance to him, Lin Xuan felt an inexplicable sense of kinship.
"Don't worry, Elder Xuan, I know what I'm doing. Although I've only been through three short years, I've gained a lot and I won't act impulsively."
Lin Xiao said with a smile, his eyes gazing at the Moon Capital, his thoughts already drifting back.
"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's go back."
"Yes!"
Moon Capital.
Moon Capital, the capital of the Snow Moon Empire, was already bustling with activity, and the upcoming Snow Moon Empire's Genius Tournament has made it even more lively.
Lin Xiao, dressed in black brocade robes, entered the Moon Capital and returned to the Lin family first.
"After being away for three years, nothing much has changed in my home, big or small."
“Young Master, in the years since you left, Miss Xiao Yu’er has frequently come to the courtyard, but you are never there.”
The servants in the courtyard immediately responded.
Lin Xiao wiped his hand across the table and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I understand. What about Princess Yan'er?"
Lin Xiao looked at the servant and asked.
The servant was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Young master, Princess Yan'er has been re-engaged, and the new betrothed is Fu Shoujiao of the Fu family."
"Hehe, that makes sense. After all, I'm just a useless person with poor cultivation, unworthy of Xue Yan'er. It doesn't matter. Since she has made her choice, I won't force her. But that headed dragon, I must personally kill him!"
After three years of grueling training, Lin Xiao's mental state is now several times better than it was three years ago, and he seems to have been rejuvenated.
The servants looked at their young master and even suspected that their master had been switched at birth. After all, there were many stories in the immortal realm of powerful figures vying for physical bodies.
"When exactly will the Genius Tournament take place?" "Seven days from now."
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to bother me these next few days. I'll rest for a bit and then I'll go."
"Yes, young master, our invitations have been delivered. This old servant will give them to you shortly."
"You've worked hard, you can go now."
Lin Xiao waved his hand, and the servant tactfully left the scene.
"Hehe, it seems that Xue Yan'er holds a high place in your heart."
Lin Xuan appeared in the courtyard and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.
"Why do you say that, Elder Xuan?"
"I can feel your heartbeat and movements. When the name Xue Yan'er is mentioned, your heartbeat quickens, although it is only a very slight one, but it is definitely there."
Lin Xuan chuckled, but didn't mean to mock Lin Xiao.
“Elder Xuan, Lin Yan’er and I were betrothed when we were little. We spent a lot of time together when we were very young. Yan’er also liked to stay in the Lin family mansion most of the time. But after my parents disappeared, she left the Lin family mansion and returned to the palace. I just didn’t expect that she would choose to marry Fu Shoujiao.”
Lin Xiao's feelings for Xue Yan'er have indeed diminished, but it's impossible to say they've completely disappeared.
"Hehe, no wonder. Childhood sweethearts, that will take some time."
Lin Xuan has a deep understanding of relationships between men and women; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a Casanova.
"Elder Xuan, I heard that there is a treasure in this year's Genius Tournament that can restore soul power. I think it would be very suitable for you."
Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up.
"what?"
"A million-year-old resurrection herb."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting to find such a rare item as the Resurrection Grass here.
The Resurrection Grass is one of the most precious treasures for repairing the soul. A Resurrection Grass that is a million years old is enough to have an excellent nourishing effect on the soul of a Celestial King, which is of great use to Lin Xuan.
"Hehe, since you're here, make the best of it. Let's get through this big meeting first. As for whether you can pass, that depends on your performance today."
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, he chuckled and disappeared back into his Eight Immortal Towers.
"Six Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm. Although I possess the Four Symbols Sacred Body, is the Six Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm a bit insufficient? If I could advance to the next level, I should be able to secure victory in this competition."
Lin Xiao considered it carefully, then shook his head and walked towards the secret room.
Before I left, the Lin family still had many resources that hadn't been used. This time, it's time to put everything to use.
Snow Moon Palace.
"Your Highness, we have already invited the neighboring Black Dragon Empire and the Sky Cloud Empire to this Genius Tournament."
"Have you explained things to them?"
Crown Prince Xueye suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with golden light, clearly indicating that he had already possessed the marks of a Golden Immortal.
"Your Highness, rest assured, no one can take your position away. The Second Prince likes to do this, relying on theft, but they cannot shake your position."
Old Master Mo chuckled as he looked at Crown Prince Xue Ye, especially since Xue Ye was already at the Golden Immortal realm, only one person away from the throne. If that person were eliminated, Xue Ye would naturally become the next Snow Moon Emperor. (End of Chapter)
