Chaotian City appeared both grand and majestic. It gleamed coldly as if it were directly cast from divine metal, and a layer of dark red halation seemed to rise from its surface, resembling specks of blood-red light.

Legend had it that it was the blood from generation after generation of Emperor and even Immortal experts who had managed to fight their way here. Of course, the essence of the blood had long since dried up and dispersed. Otherwise, a murderous aura would surround the city, making it impossible to approach.

The huge city gates stood thousands of feet tall, their immense magnificence emitting an intimidating feeling of oppression.Forged from a mixture of galaxy sand and immortal matter, anyone would feel awed in their presence.

This was Chaotian City!

Since ancient times, countless cultivators from all over the Great Thousand Worlds dreamed of arriving at this place one day. After all, as long as they managed to make it here, they would have the opportunity to ascend to the Eternal True Realm!

The buildings in the city were all incredibly old and an orderly atmosphere pervaded the air. The streets were bustling with activity and liveliness, crowded with people going about their business.

Lin Xun and the others withdrew their auras and walked amongst the crowds. As the group strolled along, numerous scenes began to surface in his mind. Back then, this city was where he had met his martial uncle, Kong Jue, who had lost his mind and gone insane.

He had gotten involved in the Ruins of the Gods operation outside the city, resulting in a grudge between him and the experts from the Donghuang Four Clans.

Under the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, he had overcome an unprecedented dao tribulation to certify the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage, and slayed top-tier talents from the Eighth Heaven Domain such as Qi Lingyun, Zhongli Xiao, and Chi Pojun.

Outside the Ruins of the Gods, a deadly calamity befell him, and he barely managed to escape under the protection of his fourth senior brother, Ling Xuanzi, and his martial uncle, Kong Jue...

The vivid memories flooded Lin Xun’s heart with various emotions. Without realizing it, they arrived at the Battle Stele of the Domains.

The Battle Stele of the Domains could measure the combat power of Emperor experts and recorded their accomplishments in the Great Thousand Battle Domain. Back then, Lin Xun had risen straight to first in one go!

Numerous figures were also gathered in front of the stele. Each of them exuded a strong and unique presence. Some auras gave off a feeling of unmatched elegance, some felt domineering and aggressive, some resembled immortals who had come to the earthly realm, and some were like rulers surveying their lands...

Since ancient times, only Emperor and above cultivators were able to enter the Great Thousand Battle Domain.

Those who succeeded in traveling all the way from the first Immortal Heavenly Pass to the forty-ninth Immortal Heavenly Pass, were without question the most outstanding and formidable individuals amongst the Emperor Stage!

The crowd gathered in the vicinity of the stele was undoubtedly composed of such powerhouses.

"Elder Lin Xun once took the ranking test at this very location all those years ago. At that time, he had yet to certify the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage, but now, it's said that he's already the most brilliant Immortal Stage hegemon in the Eternal True Realm!"

Someone sighed in admiration.

Lin Xun!

The crowd of Emperor experts couldn't help but narrow their eyes, revealing various expressions.

"Talents emerge in every generation, and the page of Lin Xun’s era is destined to be turned one day. The future will ultimately belong to our generation!"

A cultivator’s eyes burned with ambition.

"True, we have overcome countless deadly trials to reach Chaotian City. In the future, we will surely shine in the Eternal True Realm and create our own legends!"

"Agreed, that’s exactly how the greats should be!"

For a time, many voices rang out, filled with aspiration and pride. Lin Xun and Xuan Jiuyin couldn’t help but smile as they exchanged a knowing look. Given their current status, they naturally didn’t mind such things. On the contrary, they found it amusing since this was exactly how they had been back then.

The new generation should surpass the old like how waves in a river endlessly pushed forward. However, in Xuan Jiuyin’s and Jintian Xuanyue’s opinion, the subsequent generations didn’t have much hope of breaking any of Lin Xun’s records.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, "Big talk."

All the Emperors present frowned as their gazes shifted over in unison. They found a simply-dressed youth approaching with a sword behind his back. "Dare I ask everyone present, how many of you have certified the Supreme Emperor Stage before the age of five hundred?"

The crowd looked at each other, not understanding what he was getting at.

"Then let me ask again, how many of you have certified the Supreme Emperor Stage before the age of two hundred?"

The sword-bearing youth’s eyes scanned the crowd. All of a sudden, the atmosphere grew increasingly silent. They were finally beginning to realize what the sword-bearing youth was trying to say.

"Why isn't anyone answering?" The sword-bearing youth said, "Never mind, I'll just say it straight. When Elder Lin Xun first certified to the Supreme Emperor Stage, he had cultivated for only a hundred years. In fact, his current cultivation age has yet to surpass four hundred years. "In terms of age, he’s probably younger than most of you here, yet he's already an Immortal hegemon famous throughout the Eternal True Realm!

"Do you know what it means to be an Immortal hegemon? It means to be an existence whose cultivation has reached the Transcendence Stage! Do you know what it means to be famous under the heavens? It means your name is known in all nine great Heaven Domains!"

His words silenced the entire place. The crowd was stunned as their hearts heaved in their chests. To certify the Supreme Emperor Stage in less than a hundred years? To attain the Transcendence Stage at less than four hundred years old? To be famed in all nine great Heaven Domains?

Each sentence ruthlessly pressed down on their hearts like mountains, causing some of them to show ashamed expressions, while others looked shocked and even lost. Some also revealed defiant looks and coldly questioned, "Who are you and how do you know Lin Xun's background? How do we know whether what you’re claiming is true or not?"

The sword-bearing youth merely replied, "It’s up to you whether to believe it or not."

With that, he turned away.

"This guy seems to be rather familiar with you."

Xuan Jiuyin, who had witnessed everything, couldn't help but be surprised.

"That’s my disciple, wouldn't it be unseemly for him to be unfamiliar with his master?"

Lin Xun left these words behind as he followed after the sword-bearing youth.

Since they had withdrawn their auras, those present had naturally been unaware of them. However, when Lin Xun chased after the sword-bearing youth, he immediately sensed something and said without turning his head, "Oh, making a move because you’re not convinced? Chaotian City is covered by law power, why don't we go outside to spar against each other?"

His flat voice brimmed with confidence.

A chuckle followed. "Heh, I see that you now dare to rebel after not seeing each other for so many years."

The sword-bearing youth clearly shuddered, and he hurriedly turned around. When he saw the appearance of the person who had spoken, a stupefied look emerged on his previously calm face as his eyes widened little by little.

After quite some time, he finally returned to his senses and croaked, "Master, why are you here?"

Lin Xun smilingly answered, "It's a coincidence. I just arrived in the city and didn’t expect to bump into you, brat."

The sword-bearing youth was none other than Su Bai! In the many years since they last met, Su Bai had already stepped into the Supreme Emperor Stage, and even reached the eighth realm, which meant he wasn't far from the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage.

Lin Xun couldn't help but be surprised by this. When he returned to the Ancient Wasteland Domain to rescue Su Bai, who had been fighting on the Great Emperor Pass, he had only been at the Quasi-Emperor Stage.

This meant that in only slightly over a hundred years, Su Bai had become an eighth realm supreme Emperor expert, which was remarkable progress, to say the least. Of course, it was still somewhat inferior compared to Tang Jiang, who had cultivated the Origin Sect.

After all, one had been left to ‘fend for himself’ in the Ancient Nebula Road, while the other was carefully trained by a group of old monsters in the Origin Sect since childhood.

However, the temperament and heart-state Su Bai had honed through countless often dangerous and bloody experiences was something Tang Jiang was still far from being able to match.

By this juncture, Xia Zhi, Xuan Jiuyin, and Jintian Xuanyue had also arrived.

"Is this the disciple you were talking about?" Xuan Jiuyin couldn’t help but click his tongue as he looked Su Bai up and down.

"Yes." Lin Xun introduced Su Bai to the group.

Su Bai felt like he was dreaming even until now. Over the years, he had crossed the stars and killed his way from the first Immortal Heavenly Pass to Chaotian City. Wherever he went, he would always hear people discussing his master.

He often imagined what it would be like to meet his master in the Eternal True Realm. Who could have anticipated that he would instead meet his master here in Chaotian City?! It was an unexpected, yet happy surprise!

"Come, let's find a place to chat." Lin Xun also had many things he wanted to ask Su Bai.

"Wait a moment, Master." Su Bai looked slightly uncomfortable as he said, "There's someone I have to wait for."

"Who?" Lin Xun raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded in the distance, "There you are, husband."

Following the voice, a beautiful blue-robed woman with a slender figure and fair skin approached. Lin Xun instantly recognized her. She was Gu Xi!

Back then, it was Gu Xi who, despite bearing grievous injuries, trekked all the way to the Lin Clan to seek help from Lin Xun, thus enabling him to arrive at the Great Emperor Pass in time to save Su Bai, who had fallen into an almost hopeless situation.

Lin Xun grinned and said, "So, you guys have already become a dao couple." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Meanwhile, Gu Xi finally got a clear look of Lin Xun and couldn't help but stutter in surprise, "Elder, how...how is it you?"

Su Bai hurriedly explained, but Gu Xi was still stuck in a state of surprise. Not even in her wildest dreams did she imagine that they would meet Lin Xun here.

Lin Xun chuckled and said, "Come, I remember that there’s a Baofeng Restaurant in Chaotian City, which sells a divine brew called Winding Stream Banquet. I’ll bring you guys there to try it."

Back then, his mentally unsound martial uncle, Kong Jue, had often camped outside Baofeng Restaurant, clamoring to drink Winding Stream Banquet.

In a high-class room in Baofeng Restaurant, jar after jar of Winding Stream Banquet was served, along with various other delicacies and dishes. Lin Xun and the others seated themselves one by one and engaged in merry conversation.

However, they only managed to enjoy a few moments before knocking sounded from the door. Bang bang bang!

The rough and heavy knocks were accompanied by a frosty voice, "Su Bai, I know you're inside. Come out and face me if you have the guts!"

Lin Xun and the others exchanged glances before they turned to Su Bai.

Su Bai frowned. "Master, you guys wait here for a while, I'll be right back."

As he spoke, he got up from his seat.

Gu Xi also rose to her feet. "I’m coming with you."

"It's just a small matter. A’xi, you stay and accompany Master, I'll take care of it."

Su Bai pushed open the doors.
