Chapter 218: Fu Guang Daoist

Dong dong dong!

The gate of the small courtyard was knocked.

Lin Chuan had long sensed Yan Huang's arrival.

"Please come in."

Having received Lin Chuan's permission, Yan Huang pushed the door open and entered respectfully.

"I have specially come to congratulate the senior."

"Congratulations, senior, on re-entering the Legend Realm."

Yan Huang bowed his head and body, clasped his hands, and paid his respects.

"It's a small matter."

Lin Chuan smiled, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Sit."

Yan Huang sat down, trembling with fear.

In front of the now‑legendary Lin Chuan, the pressure he felt was much greater, and his voice involuntarily lowered.

Lin Chuan got straight to the point and asked, "Five years should be near; when does the Three Thousand Prefectures Genius War begin?"

"In three months."

Yan Huang replied respectfully, "This Genius War will be held in Dao Tian Zhou, and this is the participating Jade Talisman."

Speaking so, Yan Huang presented a Jade Talisman engraved with a unique seal.

"Thank you."

Lin Chuan took the Jade Talisman.

With his current strength, participating in the so‑called Genius War should be a crushing victory, right?

If there are still many geniuses who entered the Mortal Dust Supreme Being realm before a hundred years old within the super provinces, those who reach the Legend Realm are certainly very few.

Only those core seeds fully cultivated by the super powers have such a chance.

But he remains fully confident.

If even the geniuses of this era cannot be beaten, all those cycles of dream reincarnation would have been in vain—how shameful.

Lin Chuan never considered the process of competing with the geniuses at all.

He wondered what the so‑called Ancient Ruins actually are, and whether they relate to the blank period of history after the Heavenly Demon Chaos dream that he does not understand.

"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"

Yan Huang felt as if sitting on a bed of needles.

He wanted to say something, yet didn't know what to say.

"Nothing else, Yan Huang, you may attend to your duties."

Lin Chuan gave a faint smile.

"Then I, the junior, will take my leave."

Yan Huang seemed a bit inclined to flee, yet was rather reluctant, his gaze occasionally sweeping toward the blooming White Lotus in the courtyard.

As a generation's emperor, his cultivation is fundamentally the Dao of Qi Luck.

He could clearly feel that the source of Qingyun Prefecture's increasing Qi Luck came from this White Lotus.

If he could cultivate in the courtyard for a while, he couldn't imagine how delightful that would be.

Of course, that is only imagination.

Lin Chuan would not allow outsiders to cultivate in the small courtyard.

After Yan Huang left, Lin Chuan also set a prohibition array and promptly departed Lin Fu.

Lü Ya was still asleep, and the other ladies were not in the residence.

He decided to first look for his sister and Ye Xue.

So much time had passed, yet his sister and Ye Xue had not returned; they must have encountered some mishap.

"Could they be trying to forcibly rescue Qing Fan?"

Lin Chuan frowned.

His daughter Qing Fan was sealed in sleep, relying on Tian Gong Dedi to extend her lifespan; without absolute certainty, he dared not awaken her.

Too many possible complications could arise.

"Given Ye Xue's temperament, she might act impulsively."

"But his sister probably wouldn't."

"Surely something else happened that delayed them."

Lin Chuan decided to go personally to the Nine Major Star Regions.

If Qing Fan self‑imposed sleep, the most suitable place would be the Tianlong Star Domain, where Ye Xue and his sister are likely as well.

Now he has entered the Legend, gaining qualification to enter the Nine Major Star Regions.

Moreover, Monkey would accompany him.

Monkey has long been at the peak of the Third Realm in legend, and perhaps now, with the aid of Hong Lian power, has broken through to the Fourth Realm.

"First, calculate where Monkey is."

Using the Hong Lian power's sensing, Lin Chuan quickly located Monkey.

Monkey despises evil like a hatred, is naturally restless, and cannot stay in one place; he has long gone to other provinces.

Just as Lin Chuan was preparing to find Monkey.

In the sensing, a powerful aura rushed toward this spot.

"A legendary strong one?"

Lin Chuan was surprised, "Or a Three Teachings cultivator, specially coming to find me?"

In an instant, the owner of the aura arrived in Qingyun Prefecture.

A Daoist figure landed before Lin Chuan.

The newcomer was a middle‑aged Daoist, dressed in a black Daoist robe, holding a dust‑sweeping staff, with an ethereal bearing.

"I, the humble Fu Guang Daoist of the Purple Star Emperor Sect, have seen you, Daoist Friend."

"Purple Star Emperor Sect?"

Lin Chuan was startled.

Isn't this the sect where Yang Zu of Heavenly Demon Chaos belongs?

Given the Purple Star Emperor Sect's heritage and depth, it should still be a megacorp‑level force in this era, right?

Why would a member of the Purple Star Emperor Sect come after me?

Could it be because of my sister?

As Lin Chuan pondered, the Fu Guang Daoist spoke again.

"Daoist Friend, do not panic; I, the humble Daoist, come with no ulterior motive, merely on routine patrol, congratulating you on leaving Mortal Dust and stepping into the Legend Realm."

"I presume Daoist Friend has already sensed the existence of the Mortal Dust Three Thousand Prefectures and the Nine Major Star Regions."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan roughly understood the other's intention.

The reason the Legend Realm seldom appears on Mortal Earth is probably related to this.

"Hmm, I kindly ask Daoist Friend for guidance."

Lin Chuan pretended ignorance, humbly saying, "I have heard of the Star Domain's existence, but before entering the Legend Realm, I cannot sense it."

"Are there any secrets within, only the Legend Realm can reach?"

"It's not really a secret," the Fu Guang Daoist laughed, "just that there are things above the Star Domain that cannot fall into Mortal Dust."

"Thus a supreme being has sealed the Nine Major Star Regions from sensing the Fanchen."

"After stepping into the Legend Realm, the sensing will be restored."

The Fu Guang Daoist patiently explained everything.

At this moment, countless curious thoughts swirled in Lin Chuan's mind.

"Supreme being?"

"Who is it?"

What kind of mighty power would be required to isolate the Nine Major Star Regions from the Fanchen's sensing, sever history, and make all living beings obey?

Even Wangxian Realm cannot achieve that.

It would require at least a true Immortal (Ancient God) level.

The Fu Guang Daoist smiled, "Some matters, Daoist Friend will soon know; no need to ask further."

The name of the supreme being, the Fu Guang Daoist also refused to mention.

Naturally, Lin Chuan would not trouble himself.

As the Fu Guang Daoist said, upon reaching this realm, many things he can quickly discern—what exactly is the cause of the Nine-phase World's formation?

That blank segment of history for oneself should not be that hard to reach.

"You still do not know Daoist Friend's title."

The Fu Guang Daoist added, "If Daoist Friend wishes to visit a Star Domain for a look, I, the humble Daoist, can be the guide."

Lin Chuan clasped his fists, "I, Lin Chuan, am a native cultivator of this Qingyun Prefecture."

"A native cultivator of Qingyun Prefecture?"

The Fu Guang Daoist's eyes instantly brightened.

"Lin Daoist Friend, you truly are remarkable; without a sect or school, you have managed to cultivate to the Legend Realm in the spiritually thin Qingyun Prefecture."

"Truly a heaven‑born prodigy!"

"If you were born in a great continent, receiving resources and training from childhood, I think Lin Daoist Friend would be even more brilliant."

The Fu Guang Daoist gazed at Lin Chuan with blazing eyes, as if looking at an uncarved peerless raw jade.

If such a talent could be recruited into the Purple Star Emperor Sect, the Merit would be boundless!

Although cultivators can change their appearance and all appear in youthful forms, the temperament from the depths of the soul cannot be altered.

"This Lin Daoist Friend may be just over a hundred years old in appearance."
