Chapter 9 Nine Heavens Holy Lord!
"What immense force is this!"
"Even the Power Stone Monument used for testing could be blasted apart!"
The aftershocks of the energy force forced the disciples present to retreat several steps, their faces full of shock.
Previously, Mu Xue, who had the highest talent, had eyes filled with dimness. The corners of her mouth could not help but reveal a self-mocking smile.
Just now, she had naively thought that Lin Xuan could become her opponent. But looking at it now, she estimated that she did not even have the qualifications to be Lin Xuan's opponent.
"Good!"
At the same time, Elder Liu, who was to the side, suddenly had his eyes light up. He walked up with a gaze of appreciation and praised him.
Liu Qingyun had noticed Lin Xuan since the first checkpoint. Previously, he had also been very expectant of Lin Xuan's power test.
Although he had some preparation in his heart, Lin Xuan's performance indeed exceeded his expectations.
"How much is your strength in jin?"
Liu Qingyun walked in front of Lin Xuan and asked him.
"Over eight hundred thousand jin, I suppose!"
Lin Xuan replied.
"Eight hundred... thousand!"
Hearing this terrifying number, Mu Xue and the others could not help but be stunned.
One had to know that even the Holy Son's previous record was less than one hundred thousand!
"En, are you willing to be promoted directly to a Core Disciple? I can introduce you to the Holy Lord!"
Liu Qingyun said directly.
"Directly promoted to a Core Disciple?"
"Holy crap, skipping ranks to upgrade!"
Hearing Elder Liu speak such tempting conditions, the eyes of Mu Xue and the others present were filled with envy.
The number of Core Disciples was scarce, and each one was someone the Holy Land vigorously nurtured. It could be said that as long as one had the status of a Core Disciple, one would at least be an inner sect elder in the future. It could be said to be reaching the heavens in a single step!
"Many thanks for Elder Liu's support. I actually have an extremely urgent matter to speak to the Holy Lord about!"
Since this Elder Liu was so polite, Lin Xuan naturally would not lose his manners.
"Haha, with the appearance of a genius like you, after I report to the Holy Lord, he will come personally!"
Elder Liu said with a smile.
Next.
Elder Liu brought Lin Xuan into the Azure Cloud Hall, up to an exquisite attic, and had him wait for a moment.
After a moment, the room door was pushed open.
A middle-aged scholar wearing a white Confucian robe and carrying a bit of a scholarly air stepped in. He looked like an ordinary person, but Lin Xuan knew that this was the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, Gongsun Chi!
Gongsun Chi was a Unity Realm Late Stage powerhouse. He was only one step away from ascending to the Unity Realm Great Circle. He was the recognized number one powerhouse of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
"You are the outer sect disciple Lin Xuan, right!"
Gongsun Chi looked Lin Xuan up and down and spoke to him.
"Not bad. I have already heard about your matters from Elder Liu. I have approved your promotion to Core Disciple. If you are willing, I can even open up the Holy Son treatment for you!"
Gongsun Chi said.
"Many thanks, Holy Lord!"
"However, I have a very important matter!"
Next, Lin Xuan briefly explained the matter regarding the three great demons attacking Nine Dragons City.
"En?"
After hearing Lin Xuan finish speaking.
Gongsun Chi frowned, a trace of doubt flashing deep in his eyes.
Gongsun Chi's point of suspicion was that Lin Xuan was merely a disciple at the Qi Refining Realm. How could he avoid the eyes and ears of the three great demons and eavesdrop on such a confidential conversation between them?
"Watch!"
"Great Void Technique!"
With a thought, Lin Xuan took a step forward and vanished from the spot into thin air, losing all trace of his presence.
After escaping into the void, Lin Xuan also applied the Breath Concealment Technique to himself.
Although Lin Xuan could deceive the three great demons of the Northern Wilderness, Gongsun Chi was a Unity Realm powerhouse who could merge with the surrounding will of heaven and earth. Naturally, he could detect Lin Xuan's location.
Gongsun Chi nodded; he knew Lin Xuan was not speaking falsely.
Gongsun Chi did not ask further questions. Judging from Lin Xuan's performance in the Azure Cloud Hall, he possessed certain opportunities of his own. Such opportunities could be encountered by anyone and belonged to the category of personal privacy.
What Gongsun Chi needed to do was protect Lin Xuan and help him grow up as quickly as possible to become one of the pillars of the human race.
Nowadays, the power of the human race on the Tianxuan Continent was becoming increasingly weak.
The major races outside the Eastern Continent were beginning to grow restless. Great chaos was likely about to begin.
Under such general circumstances, the forces to which any human genius belonged would do their utmost to nurture them.
"Furthermore, I also heard that great Peng demon say he wanted to unite with their patriarch to destroy Nine Dragons City completely by coordinating from inside and outside!" Lin Xuan continued.
"En, patriarch?"
"Could it be that old mixed-breed bird!"
Hearing these words, a look of contemplation appeared in Gongsun Chi's eyes.
"I will make arrangements as soon as possible!"
A trace of gravity appeared in the depths of Gongsun Chi's eyes.
"Do not inquire about this matter for now. Just pretend it never happened...!"
After Gongsun Chi gave a few instructions, he spoke to him.
After Gongsun Chi left, Lin Xuan followed Elder Liu.
He received a promotion identity token for a Core Disciple from the inner sect department of the Azure Cloud Hall, as well as some spirit stones and medicinal pills needed for cultivation.
Afterwards, under Elder Liu's personal guidance, they arrived at the area where Core Disciples resided.
These were the thirty-six peaks closest to the sect's main peak. Lin Xuan could select any one of the peaks.
Elder Liu took out a map of these thirty-six Core Peaks from his storage bag. There were many blank white dots on every mountain peak; these white dots were uninhabited places.
Lin Xuan liked quiet, so he chose a peak on the outermost periphery of the thirty-six Core Peaks. No Core Disciples lived on Green Bamboo Peak, making it quite leisurely.
Subsequently, Lin Xuan received the key to the residence from Elder Liu and headed straight for Green Bamboo Peak.
Green Bamboo Peak. The peak was just like its name.
Looking down from mid-air, more than sixty percent of Green Bamboo Peak was planted with First Rank Low Grade Purple Bamboo.
There were some spirit beasts residing year-round in the mountain forests, making it full of vitality.
Green Bamboo Peak had sixteen vacant residential spots. Lin Xuan chose a unique small building halfway up the mountain where the spiritual energy was most abundant.
There was a small pool and spiritual fields beside the building. Looking out, it possessed a bit of the atmosphere of an immortal's home.
The small building was two stories high. Although it did not look large, it was fully equipped. It had a cultivation room, talisman making room, alchemy room, formation scroll room, and everything else one might need.
Not only that, but the rich spiritual energy on Green Bamboo Peak had gathered into a thin layer of mist, creating a rather unique scenery.
Lin Xuan did not care to admire the view and threw himself into cultivation.
He knew that Gongsun Chi would definitely respond. If the Holy Land army was truly sent out on an expedition this time, the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range separating the Nine Heavens Holy Land and Nine Dragons City would probably no longer need to exist.
During this period, Lin Xuan's realm had skyrocketed very quickly. Taking advantage of this short time for breath adjustment, he could settle his realm cultivation more.
Two days passed in a flash.
On this day, dark clouds shrouded the Nine Heavens Holy Land, carrying an imposing manner of an approaching storm.
Dong, dong, dong...
The War God Drum suspended on the sect's main peak roared loudly!
At this moment, from the outer sect disciples at the bottom to the sect elders at the top, everyone in the Nine Heavens Holy Land rushed out of their respective residences with their swiftest movements.
On Green Bamboo Peak.
"The great war is about to begin!"
Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a wisp of chilling killing intent flashing in their depths.
