Chapter 645: Mysterious Primordial Master, the Mystery of the Creation Bloodline

~7 min read 1,325 words

But what was exciting was finally getting to see a broader world.

Here, there are higher cultivation realms and stronger opponents.

It also means there is greater room for improvement.

"Fellow Daoist Su, could you recommend an inn for us?" Lin Xuan asked.

"We would like to stay in the city for a while."

"Of course." Su Yun pointed to a building ahead.

"That 'Azure Cloud Abode' is not bad; the price is cheap and the environment is decent."

"It is suitable for cultivators like you... who have just arrived."

He had wanted to say "destitute," but felt it was not very polite, so he changed his phrasing.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Su." Lin Xuan cupped his hands in thanks.

"We will certainly repay your kindness if there is an opportunity in the future."

"You are too kind." Su Yun waved his hand.

"I still have matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."

"By the way, a word of warning for you."

"It is best not to participate in the Ascension Assembly three days from now."

"With your current strength, going there is just throwing your lives away."

After saying this, Su Yun's figure flashed and he disappeared into the crowd.

Leaving the three of them looking at each other in dismay.

"Ascension Assembly?" Nezha asked in confusion.

"It sounds like something very important."

"Never mind that, let's find a place to stay first," Lin Xuan said.

"Then we need to have a good discussion."

The three of them arrived at the Azure Cloud Abode inn.

It was a small three-story building that looked very ordinary.

But in the eyes of Lin Xuan and the others, it was already quite good.

"Innkeeper, we need a room." Lin Xuan walked up to the counter.

The innkeeper was a middle-aged male cultivator at the Golden Core Stage.

He sized the three of them up, a flash of contempt in his eyes.

"Ascended from the lower realms?"

"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded.

"One low-grade spirit stone per day, no credit," the innkeeper said coldly.

"If you don't have spirit stones, go elsewhere."

"We have them."

Lin Xuan took out the spirit stones Su Yun had given them earlier.

"Three rooms for ten days."

The innkeeper took the spirit stones and tossed them three keys.

"The three rooms at the back of the second floor."

"Remember, cultivation is not allowed in the rooms."

"No loud noises allowed."

"Violators will be evicted immediately!"

The three of them took the keys upstairs and each found their room.

The room was very simple, with only a bed and a table.

But for them, it was already enough.

At dusk, the three gathered in Lin Xuan's room.

They began to discuss their plan for what came next.

"It seems we have to start from the beginning," Lin Xuan said, looking at the night view outside the window.

"In this world, we are the lowest of the low."

"But that is fine too; at least we have a higher goal."

"Indeed," Nezha nodded.

"Although it is a big blow, it has also opened our eyes."

"So there really is a heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people."

Zhang Wuji was also deeply moved: "We were too much like frogs in a well before."

"We thought we were very strong, but in reality, we were nothing."

"Then what should we do next?" Nezha asked.

"Cultivate again," Lin Xuan said firmly.

"Since we have arrived in the upper realm, we must adapt to the rules here."

"Start from the very basics and improve our strength step by step."

"Until one day, we too can become powerhouses here."

"Well said!" Zhang Wuji clenched his fist.

"We could dominate in the Three Realms, so we can certainly do it in the upper realm too!"

"What about the Ascension Assembly?" Nezha asked.

"Su Yun said we shouldn't participate."

"Let's observe for now," Lin Xuan thought for a moment.

"Find out what kind of gathering it is."

"If it's truly too dangerous, we won't go."

"But if there's an opportunity to improve our strength, we shouldn't miss it either."

The three discussed until late at night before returning to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, the three were eating breakfast in the inn's lobby.

The breakfast here was very simple, just some steamed buns and thin porridge.

But the price was not cheap; one meal cost one low-grade spirit stone.

"Everything here is expensive," Nezha complained while biting into a bun.

"If it goes on like this, our spirit stones will be spent very soon."

"We must find a way to earn some spirit stones," Zhang Wuji also frowned.

"We can't keep relying on Su Yun's support."

Just as Lin Xuan was about to speak, the inn's front door was suddenly pushed open.

An old man walked in, looking to be over sixty years old.

His hair was gray, his beard was disheveled, and the clothes on his body were also ragged.

The whole person looked unremarkable, even a bit slovenly.

But Lin Xuan felt an unfathomable aura from him.

This feeling was very strange, like facing a boundless abyss.

It made one completely unable to see through his depth.

"This old man..." Lin Xuan was secretly shocked in his heart.

"He is definitely not simple."

After the old man walked into the lobby, his gaze swept around the surroundings.

When his line of sight landed on Lin Xuan, it suddenly stopped.

Those seemingly cloudy eyes instantly became sharp.

It was as if he could see through everything about Lin Xuan, including the depths of his soul.

Lin Xuan felt completely uncomfortable and wanted to look away.

But he was firmly held by those eyes, unable to move.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

The old man suddenly spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"I didn't expect to meet a descendant possessing the Creation Bloodline in this remote Qingyun City."

"What?!"

Lin Xuan was shocked and almost jumped up from his chair.

Creation Bloodline? What was this old man talking about?

Even Nezha and Zhang Wuji didn't know the details about his bloodline awakening.

How did this total stranger of an old man see it?

"Lin Xuan, what is he talking about?" Nezha was also full of confusion.

"What Creation Bloodline?"

Zhang Wuji was equally puzzled: "Do you have some special bloodline in your body?"

Lin Xuan opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Kid, don't be nervous."

"This old man is named Primordial Master, and I also ascended from the lower realm once."

"Looking at your appearance, you must have just arrived in the upper realm, right?"

"Ye... yes." Lin Xuan managed to steady his mind.

"How should I address you, Senior?"

"Primordial Master?" Nezha frowned.

"Why does this name sound a bit familiar?"

Primordial Master walked to their table and sat down on his own.

"Innkeeper, bring a pot of tea."

The innkeeper hurriedly brought over a pot of hot tea, his attitude much more respectful than when he treated the three of them.

Clearly, he had recognized Primordial Master's identity.

"Senior Primordial Master, what brings you to my humble shop?" the innkeeper asked cautiously.

"Just walking around," Primordial Master waved his hand.

"Go back to your business."

The innkeeper hurriedly retreated, not daring to stay any longer.

Primordial Master poured himself a cup of tea and slowly took a sip.

"Kid, what is your name?"

"I am Lin Xuan," Lin Xuan answered honestly.

"These are my two friends, Nezha and Zhang Wuji."

"Mm," Primordial Master nodded.

"Which lower realm did you ascend from?"

"The Three Realms," Lin Xuan said.

"The Three Realms of the Heavenly Court, the Human Realm, and the Mo Jie."

"So that is how it is," Primordial Master said, appearing thoughtful.

"No wonder your bloodline is so pure."

"Although the Three Realms is a lower realm, it has a long history and a profound foundation."
