As for Qing Meng and the black-robed man Shui Changjing, they were elites who had been chosen by Qi Lingyun. According to Liuxiang Que, Qing Meng and Shui Changjing both came from the Eternal True Realm. In fact, the latter was a peerless figure from the Sixth Heaven Domain. Both of them had been training in Chaotian City for decades, and both were listed on the Mythic Rank, attracting great attention and being favored by many major forces from the Seventh Heaven Domain. Despite that, they had both refused those offers. They were only recruited by Qi Lingyun after they won their respective first round of Defending the Ring. Naturally, they were very happy to be invited to cultivate in the Eighth Heaven Domain, so they treated Qi Lingyun with great respect. After understanding this, Lin Xun finally realized that, in the end, Qing Meng and Shui Changjing were nothing more than potential talents who were favored by Qi Lingyun. He still had one thing he didn't understand, so he asked, "With Qing Meng's current level, how could he possibly beat Senior ?" From the side, Xiang Xiaoyuan explained, "Qing Meng doesn't have such ability. It was Lin Feng who had attacked first and seriously injured my uncle, which gave Qing Meng the opportunity to take advantage of him." Speaking of Qing Meng, Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyebrows showed a hint of hatred, "This entire fiasco was completely caused by him. He recognized our identities and claimed that as long as we were captured, he could force Brother Lin to show up. Then, they could see whether or not Brother Lin was as powerful as the rumors say. "As soon as he proposed this idea, Qi Lingyun's interest was aroused, so much so that..." She didn't finish her explanation, but it was obvious what had happened. "Qing Meng may have been the true culprit, but Qi Lingyun was also involved. No matter what, it's all because of me." Lin Xun's black eyes had turned terribly cold. "Brother Lin, you must not fight with that woman. Try not to provoke such a person." Xiang Xiaoyuan placated hurriedly. "Yes, the Qi Clan is high up in the Eighth Heaven Domain, and her clan’s might is enough to cover many domains in the Eternal True Realm. You are a lone cultivator now, so there is really no need to induce an ill-fated tie with the other party," Liuxiang Que also dissuaded him. Lin Xun nodded and smiled, "You two can rest now to recover from your injuries. I know what I need to do." However, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Liuxiang Que could not guess what he was really thinking. Following that, the two began to heal their wounds in peace, while Lin Xun strolled leisurely near the lake. This was the third day of the Big Hunt. In a few hours, this level was going to end. Lin Xun didn't need to guess to know that the fights that were occurring in the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm were incredibly fierce and crazy at such a crucial time. Of course, none of this affected him. Moreover, he did not plan on going hunting again. By now, his accumulated battle merits alone had reached forty-three. Within the entire Great Emptiness Immortal Realm, there were very few who could even get close to his record! His only regret was that he had failed to take this opportunity to eliminate the experts of two major clans, Gu and Yun. During this period, many cultivators who were raring to fight passed by this place. When they saw Liuxiang Que and Xiang Xiaoyuan meditating and recuperating on their own, they originally became aggressive and thought they had caught some easy prey. However, when they saw the tall figure walking by the lake, their scalps suddenly became numb and they turned around and left without delaying for a moment. They fled until they were sure that the tall figure had not caught up with them, and they all felt lucky to have survived such a disaster. In the current Great Emptiness Immortal Realm, who did not know of Lin Xun's bloody and fierce record? It was no exaggeration to say that, in the eyes of those cultivators, Lin Xun was now regarded as the number one dangerous person. As long as they had their wits about them, no one was willing to confront him head-on. This was the power established through might. Only after a touch of night appeared on the sky of the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm did the experts in different areas all breathe a sigh of relief. Three days had finally passed and the second level, Big Hunt, was over! "It's finally over..." Lin Xun looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan and Liuxiang Que and said, "You two, the third level, Challenge the Throne, will now start, so I will go first!" As soon as he finished, a star-like silver immortal light fell from the sky, engulfed Lin Xun, and made him disappear on the spot. Liuxiang Que and Xiang Xiaoyuan were also bathed in two silver immortal lights at this moment and also disappeared. Lin Xun reappeared on the dao platform. The vast expanse of land was filled with white immortal mist, but the Origin Dao Canon that had been spread out like a scroll earlier had long since disappeared. On him, a tablet recording numerous battle merits flew out, humming and trembling in the void, as if sensing and summoning something. Lin Xun held his breath and waited quietly. Just like the first level, Defending the Ring, the higher the record one achieved for the second level, the better the reward. Not long after, a dazzling purple immortal light rushed out from the white mist, spun in the void, and turned into a crystal clear purple immortal sword. This sword was only about the size of a palm, two fingers wide, and the blade was as bright and clear as a crystal stone. Two immortal characters full of great majesty were engraved on the sword body—Absolute Immortal! Upon closer look, one would see that the sword was sealed by layers of mysterious immortal restrictions, so the aura it exuded was full of obscurity. Lin Xun was shocked and raised his hand to summon it. Immediately, the purple immortal sword named Absolute Immortal fell into Lin Xun's hand, and an unparalleled cold murderous intent spread in his palm. It was piercing and sharp, causing him to suddenly stiffen. He used his cultivation to offset and resolve this murderous intent. His black eyes became bright as he had realized that this reward was very extraordinary. After all, this sword was still sealed, yet the murderous intent it exuded was so terrifying. It was conceivable that when the seal was opened, its true power would be incredibly majestic! However, when Lin Xun attempted to break the seal, he was surprised to find that the layers of immortal restrictions contained a trace of law power, which seemed extremely mysterious and terrifying. At his current strength, he couldn't comprehend its secrets, let alone break it. Even so, he was quite amazed. This sword needed to be sealed with the forbidden power filled with the aura of a law power. How could it be comparable to ordinary treasures? "Absolute Immortal, Absolute Immortal... Such a treasure has appeared in Central Immortal Court. I'm afraid it is one of the few immortal weapons in the immortal dao..." Lin Xun couldn't help but wonder if this Absolute Immortal sword that has survived from the last epoch could be an immortal-grade weapon! "What about the others? What kind of rewards did they get? Would they also get such a magical treasure?" Lin Xun became thoughtful. In fact, he didn't know that his record was far higher than second place, so he had truly obtained first place in the Big Hunt. Therefore, he received the Absolute Immortal Sword that had been sealed by immortal restrictions. This was also a treasure hidden in Central Immortal Court. If it were placed in the immortal world of the last epoch, it would be enough to make any Immortal cultivator scramble for it. After thinking for a while, Lin Xun was going to store the sword away, but he unexpectedly discovered that the sword had actually produced a huge repulsive force and could not be contained by the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron! This made it even more clear that this sword was extremely extraordinary. In the end, Lin Xun finally opened his mouth and swallowed it. The sword turned into a ray of purple light and poured into his True Self Emperor World. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⦿fire.net As it was wrapped by the power of the dao in his True Self Emperor World, the Absolute Immortal Sword flew out with gorgeous purple light rain. It was like a wisp of sharp sword light, which looked extremely magical. Furthermore, Lin Xun also keenly noticed that the immortal seal on the sword had signs of being refined, but it was extremely subtle and almost imperceptible. He became excited, and he realized that as long as he nurtured the sword, he would be able to open the sealed power on the sword layer by layer as his attainments in the dao continued to improve! A smile appeared on Lin Xun's lips. The next moment, the dao platform under his feet shook, and he disappeared. In the last epoch, the third level of the Heaven’s Chosen Battle was called Challenge the Throne. This was also the last level. As long as one could pass Challenge the Throne, one could enter the Central Immortal Court and obtain the supreme secret inheritance! With a flash of white light, Lin Xun appeared on a cliff on the hillside. The cliff was very wide and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Immortal clouds lazily covered the area, and divine light was flowing. On the top of the cliff stood a grand and majestic immortal palace, resembling a legendary heaven, bathed in endless dao light. Looking from afar, it felt as if it was the place where the gods lived, the center of the universe, representing the highest and the most supreme! Central Immortal Court! Lin Xun saw at a glance that this was the Central Immortal Court that represented the only place of the highest immortal path in the last epoch. It was a place that dominated the hearts of billions of immortal cultivators in the four thousand nine hundred continents of the immortal world! "Be careful, Menace Lin is coming!" A whisper sounded from nearby, and Lin Xun glanced around and saw that many cultivators had already appeared on this cliff. There were people from some Immortal Imperial Clans, such as Gu Banzhuang and Yun Luohong, and some other familiar faces. Lin Xun also spotted Qi Lingyun, who was wearing a long skirt and holding a yellow scroll, Lin Feng, who was dressed in his usual plain clothes, and Shui Changjing, the man in black-robes. When he appeared on this cliff, it caused a stir, and many cultivators subconsciously avoided him and distanced themselves from him. There was fear and solemnity in everyone's expression, as if they regarded Lin Xun as a calamitous beast. Soon, Lin Xun also spotted Xiang Xiaoyuan and Liuxiang Que. He nodded imperceptibly and retracted his gaze. Similar to the situation in the first level of Defending the Ring, on this cliff, everyone's cultivation was suppressed by the power of the laws between heaven and earth, and they could not move without authorization. To Lin Xun's surprise, there were only around three hundred or so people who had finally entered this level. Of note, in the first level, there were nearly thirty thousand cultivators participating, and in the second level, there were almost three thousand people. In the end, only about three hundred entered the third level. Therefore, in the Big Hunt, it was likely that at least two thousand experts had died! This was a shocking number. Those who had fallen were all Emperors who had obtained nine consecutive victories in Defending the Ring! Among them, the weakest cultivation was at the supreme seventh realm! Now, they were all buried in the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm... The mere thought itself was chilling!
