Chapter 321

The Nine-Layer Desolate Tower descended to suppress, and the Immortal Domain world within it refined Lin Xian until he was half-dead.

Previously, he relied on his cultivation realm, the Immortal Domain within his body, and the advantages brought by the Longevity Immortal Medicine to bully rookies, but now the tables had turned, and it was his turn to be bullied.

Golden blood flew about; Lin Xian was almost refined away. If not for holding an Immortal King medicine in his mouth to sustain his life, his Primordial Spirit would have been extinguished.

In the end, he could only sacrifice his own life-bound vessel, the Universe Map, to evolve a miniature Immortal Domain world that had not yet taken shape.

Using the universe to fight the Green Lotus, using an Immortal Domain to counter an Immortal Domain!

"Sigh..."

In a trance, a sigh seemed to ring out. The Green Emperor projection's eyes were deep as he gazed at the Universe Map, appearing to have a spirit, which made Lin Xian's hair stand on end and gave him goosebumps.

Green Emperor, it is you, old sir, isn't it?

If you've come, just say something; don't scare me. People scaring people can scare them to death.

After the sigh, the Green Emperor's figure dissipated, and even the Desolate Tower vanished. It seemed everything was an illusion, and it was just time for the heavenly tribulation.

Next, several more emperors appeared. He had heard of the Bright Emperor and the Yuan Emperor, and there were also the Ziwei Great Emperor and Gouchen Great Emperor, whom he did not recognize.

Every Great Emperor was the protagonist of their own era, almost all of them pushing horizontally all the way to the peak of the Emperor's path, advancing triumphantly, finding few rivals in their time.

Lin Xian was refined to the point of being half-dead by the Great Emperor projections; his physical body and Primordial Spirit did not know how many times they had exploded. If not for the immortal divinity bestowed by various great medicines and divine springs, which washed away stubborn illnesses and hidden injuries during each reconstruction, Lin Xian would truly have died.

Finally, Lin Xian encountered a Great Emperor, a young Great Emperor at the First Immortal Realm. Although he was still bleeding, he was no longer just passively taking a beating.

"Who is it?"

"Who is he!"

Lin Xian fixed his eyes and almost burst into tears. Opposite him, that humanoid lightning bolt had an Emperor's axe appear in his hand, unleashing a terrifying secret technique. The void twisted, all ten directions were extinguished, and heaven and earth did not know how many void abysses had appeared, extending toward different planes.

This technique could banish enemies, making them disappear from this world forever, or it could banish oneself to escape.

This unique style of both offense and defense, and being number one at running away, allowed Lin Xian to recognize the newcomer at a glance.

Luan Gu Great Emperor!

Thankfully, I did not give up; I have finally waited for you.

"Defeating all emperors, finally seeing Luan Gu..."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, twisted his great dragon, and attacked like a heavenly god, beginning his own true Emperor battle—the battle against the young Luan Gu.

He grew braver as he fought, no longer satisfied with the first step of the First Immortal Realm, but instead surging through three steps in one breath, stepping into the mid-stage of the First Immortal Realm.

"Boom!"

The sky full of lightning was swallowed into Lin Xian's belly. He bathed in golden light, standing like a Golden Saint King at the end of heaven and earth, eternal and indestructible.

Such divine might made everyone change color. With the Holy Body reaching minor completion, the physical body could rival a Great Power; now that he had stepped into the Immortal Platform, what kind of strength would it be?

Lin Xian had just defeated all the emperors, his momentum shocking the sky. Standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the mountains and rivers, he said indifferently: "With my level, can I join the Qishi Mansion and exclusively enjoy the divine treasures of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion?"

"Uh..." The contemporary Qishi Mansion Master was speechless for a moment. Lin Xian was indeed extraordinary, but if one person monopolized all the resources, it would be hard to justify.

The contemporary Qishi Mansion Master could only cast his gaze toward that old Mansion Master. Unexpectedly, that ancient saint was absent-minded, his gaze looking toward the depths of the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, as if communicating with someone.

"Is that so? So that's how it is; then I understand."

The old Mansion Master's expression changed unpredictably. Finally, he took a deep breath, turned around, looked at Lin Xian, sized him up for a moment, and smiled: "Young man, you are remarkable. Our Qishi Mansion has decided to give you a chance."

"As long as you pass, not to mention the Central Continent Immortal Mansion, all the resources of the Qishi Mansion will be invested in you."

Lin Xian was stunned, a premonition of misfortune arising in his heart. He tentatively asked: "What kind of test is it?"

"The assessment is very simple." The old Mansion Master stroked his beard and chuckled: "As long as you defeat the strongest talent of our Qishi Mansion, that will suffice."

"Is that all?"

Lin Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Among the talents of the Big Dipper, who did he not know, who did he not know of? The experts at the Emperor-son level all had names and surnames; how could the Qishi Mansion have one?

"I am a Holy Body, already entered the Immortal Platform; who could defeat me then?!"

Lin Xian was full of confidence and accepted the challenge, but he raised a requirement, keeping a guard up: the opponent's age absolutely could not exceed his own; they must be a young person.

"That is natural." The old Mansion Master chuckled like an old fox, his gaze meaningful.

The contemporary Qishi Mansion did not have such a person; however, nine thousand years ago, a peerless genius appeared on the Central Continent land, comparable to Gai Jiuyou, and even the West Desert Bodhisattva thought highly of him, gifting him a Longevity Lock.

A moment later, a heroic man stepped through the air, his expression calm, without any emotional fluctuations. He looked at the old Mansion Master, then looked at Lin Xian, and asked: "Is he my opponent? His realm seems a bit low."

"It's fine, it's fine." The old Mansion Master smiled: "Talents are all about defying the heavens to slay immortals. Fighting across several realms is no problem at all."

Lin Xian trembled all over, instinctively retreated, secretly thinking it was bad. He looked at the heroic man and said in a deep voice: "How should I address you, Daoist brother? The Qishi Mansion doesn't seem to have a disciple like you?"

"Xiang Yufei." The heroic man said indifferently: "Although I am not a disciple of the Qishi Mansion, the Qishi Mansion took out several Immortal King medicines to resurrect me and bring me back to the world. The kindness is like a rebirth. In this life, I am determined to join the Qishi Mansion."

Xiang Yufei! Central Emperor Xiang Yufei!

An ancient person from nine thousand years ago, he really is damn young!

Lin Xian's mouth twitched. If one really delved into it, the Qishi Mansion did not break the agreement. Before the Central Emperor Xiang Yufei buried himself, he was not even twenty years old, only nineteen!

At nineteen, he became a peerless Saint Master, invincible, possessing the bearing of an ancient Great Emperor.

Who could compare to this talent? This was a monster from nine thousand years ago, one of the Central Continent Twin Stars who was once as famous as Gai Jiuyou. He used divine source liquid to seal himself, both to avoid the Green Emperor's Great Dao suppression and to survive to reach this life.

At this moment, Lin Xian just wanted to shout, hurry to the Saint Cliff and invite the old man Gai Jiuyou.

The Qishi Mansion did not play by the rules, actually pulling out a person from the wrong era and letting an ancient monster fight.

The result was obvious. Lin Xian operated the Jie Character Secret, standing in the Eight Prohibitions domain. The Central Emperor Xiang Yufei was also in the Eight Prohibitions. With the same number of prohibitions, without the help of magic treasures or elixirs, naturally, the higher realm won.

Lin Xian was at the fourth step of the First Immortal Realm, and Xiang Yufei was at the ninth step of the Second Immortal Realm. Even if he stepped into the Divine Prohibition, he could not bridge the gap in the middle.

The only means was the Source Heaven Master secret technique, summoning the Central Continent dragon veins. Only by using this dragon Qi could he barely fight the Central Emperor.

"If it were in the Qin Ling Mountains of the Central Continent, you could fight me." The Central Emperor Xiang Yufei revealed a strange expression. The combination of Imperial Dragon Qi and the Source Heaven Master technique evolved into true dragons, the killing power shocking the sky, comparable to the Fighting Saint Art.

This means of borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth was different from orthodox cultivation and had a unique Dao rhyme.

"Defeated is defeated." Lin Xian's expression was calm. He had used all his means and was only barely holding on, and he might even have to run away. If this wasn't defeat, what was?

"If this counts as defeat, what does the Luan Gu Great Emperor count as?" The Central Emperor shook his head, believing that only falling in a battle at the same realm was true defeat.

If it wasn't a fair battle, as long as the Dao heart was not damaged, then it didn't count as defeat, just losing.
