Chapter 1 Lin Xuan
Dayan Dynasty, Dayan County!

Dayan County was the capital county of the Dayan Dynasty and was also known as the Imperial County because the imperial city was located in the east of Dayan County.

But today, the most lively place in the entire Dayan County is not the imperial city in the east, but another major city in Dayan County, Lincheng, which faces the imperial city to the east and west!

Lincheng is the place where the Lin clan is located. The fact that Lincheng can be ranked alongside the Imperial City shows the status of the Lin clan.

The hustle and bustle in Lin City today was naturally caused by the Lin clan, because today was the day of the clan meeting of the Lin clan, one of the four major clans of the Great Yan Dynasty!

As one of the four major clans, the Lin clan's clan meeting would naturally invite countless forces to watch the ceremony. This time is no exception, and it is even more lively than previous years.

Because this time, the strongest contender for the clan championship is named Lin Langtian, who is praised by many elders of the Lin clan as a rare genius rarely seen in hundreds of years. Some even call him the number one genius of the Lin clan!

At this moment, in the center of Lincheng, in the magnificent and huge arena, this clan meeting is in full swing.

The venue of the Colosseum is also quite peculiar. The whole thing looks like a funnel, and the surrounding spectator seats gradually rise as they extend in all directions.

The competition venue in the middle is shaped like stacked plates, forming a cone that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The further down you go, the more arenas there are for competitions. The higher you go, the fewer arenas there are, and there is only one at the top.

That will be the location of the final battle. The winner will be crowned the champion under the attention of everyone and become famous in Dayan!

At this time, in the huge arena, there were already people interweaving, powerful waves of elemental force were flashing, and from time to time, there were also strange waves of mental force.

"Lin clan, Lin Langtian!"

"Qingyang Town branch, Lin Xiao!"

As the referee's voice fell, there was an uproar in the entire arena, and countless eyes fell on the figure in green standing in the VIP seat.

Lin Langtian, an extremely dazzling name, had broken through to the Yuandan realm at the age of 20. You know, in the Great Yan Dynasty, being able to break through before the age of 25 is already a genius!

In the eyes of the elders of the Lin clan, Lin Langtian is the future of the Lin clan and has a bright future!
In order to build momentum for Lin Langtian, who had reached the great perfection of the Yuandan realm, the rules of this clan meeting were even changed to prohibit all clan members in the third realm of creation from participating.

After all, Lin Langtian is only in his twenties now. Some of the geniuses of the previous generation in the family who are close to thirty years old have already reached the Form Creation Realm or even the Qi Creation Realm. They can easily defeat Lin Langtian who has reached the Great Perfection of the Yuandan Realm.

At this time, Lin Mu, who was in charge of presiding over the clan meeting, listened to the elders praising Lin Langtian, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the young man standing quietly beside him.

Compared to the luxuriously dressed Lin Langtian, the young man was only wearing a simple coarse cloth robe, with his long hair simply tied behind his back. With a black blunt sword held upside down in his hand, he looked very casual.

But even this seemingly inconspicuous man will immediately attract the attention of anyone with a discerning eye.

Compared to Lin Langtian's flamboyance, the young man seems ordinary, but he is a real divine sword. He keeps his edge hidden in the sword body, just like a divine sword sealed in a scabbard. Once it is unsheathed, its edge will surely shock the world!
However, not many people have seen the young man take action, and there are also very few people in the Lin clan who have such vision.

Lin Mu was one of them. As one of the only two people who had seen the young man draw his sword, Lin Mu had only one evaluation of the young man - he was not qualified to evaluate him!

The young man's name is Lin Xuan. Although he is only in his early twenties, his strength is very impressive. Lin Xuan is not a member of the Lin clan, at least, not in terms of bloodline. Instead, he was picked up by Lin Fan from outside.

According to clan leader Lin Fan, he had just broken through to the Nirvana state and happened to notice the emergence of a magical treasure. He was attracted by it, but when he got closer, he saw a black, edgeless sword stuck in the ground.

Lin Fan, who had already broken through to the Nirvana realm at that time, saw this opportunity and naturally planned to take this magic treasure back. However, he found that he could not move the magic sword at all even if he exerted all his strength.

Just when Lin Fan was about to give up, he noticed that there was a baby lying next to the magic sword.

Seeing this, Lin Fan also planned to take the baby back to the Lin clan to raise him to prevent him from being eaten by monsters. Just as Lin Fan was preparing to go back with the baby in his arms, the magic sword that he had not been able to shake at all before strangely flew into Lin Fan's hands.

After being greatly shocked, Lin Fan also vaguely realized that this magic sword might belong to the baby, and this baby might also have a special origin, that is, he was adopted and raised in the clan.

Because of the mystery of the magic sword and the mysterious experience, Lin Fan named the baby Lin Xuan.

Perhaps sensing Lin Mu's gaze, Lin Xuan turned his head to take a look. Seeing Lin Xuan looking at him, Lin Mu also smiled and asked.

"Lin Xuan, what do you think of Lin Langtian's strength?"

Lin Xuan did not respond to Lin Mu first, but looked at Lin Langtian who fell gracefully from the VIP seat into the venue, and then spoke softly.

"This person is very talented and powerful, not inferior to me!"

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Mu's face twitched involuntarily.

Lin Mu still remembered that once when he was sparring with Lin Xuan, he suppressed his realm to the same level as Lin Xuan and asked Lin Xuan how strong he was and whether he could defeat Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan's answer was the same.

But, the result that time was that, at the same realm, Lin Mu didn't even have the chance to display his advanced martial arts, and was suppressed from beginning to end by Lin Xuan with a sword.

And this time, Lin Xuan still said "not inferior to me", which made Lin Mu's face look a little strange.

Isn't it said that geniuses are extremely proud and look down on others? Just like Lin Langtian, his eyes are almost on top of his head.

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he did not pay attention to Lin Mu's expression, but instead set his gaze on the high-spirited man who walked onto the stage.

The man looked to be about thirty years old. Although his strength was average, he looked full of vigor and vitality.

Lin Xiao!

"Hmm? Why, do you think highly of the younger generation of the branch family?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan did not speak but kept his eyes on Lin Xiao, Lin Mu could not help but speak out. Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, with a trance-like look in his eyes.
