Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
The air was thick with discussion on Mount Hunyuan. Everyone was shocked by Lin Xuan's actions; no one had expected him to attempt to reach the very top of the Hunyuan Stele and leave his name there. Many people immediately sneered, their faces full of mockery.
"This Lin Xuan is really arrogant and conceited. He actually wants to leave his name at the very top of the Hunyuan Stele and suppress all the geniuses in the heavens. Who gave him the courage and confidence?"
"Leaving your name on the Hunyuan Stele is not just a simple matter of leaving your name. You will receive rewards from the Hunyuan Stele as well. The higher your name goes, the more significant the reward will be. The Hunyuan Stele is ten thousand feet tall, and every hundred feet is a step. If you can climb up three thousand feet, you will become an unparalleled genius. Unfortunately, the higher you go, the greater the pressure becomes, which is not something that ordinary people can withstand."
“That’s right. On our Qiongyu Star, the best results before were not around 1,800 zhang. I’ve heard that there have been very few people in the entire history who have entered the top 1,000 zhang.”
"Alas... there's nothing we can do about it. Compared to the entire universe, our Qiongyu Star is nothing at all. I've heard that in all the previous years, the number of people who have participated in this All-Heavens Peak Battle is less than a hundred, even those who have made it into the top ten million!"
"This human, Lin Xuan, is really arrogant. He even wants to reach the top. Just watch! He'll get a lesson soon."
...
On Mount Hunyuan, countless people sneered. Just then, Lin Xuan soared into the sky and stepped out, arriving at the highest point of the Hunyuan Stele.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, true energy surged forth. He wielded the Jingzhe Blade like a calligraphy brush, carving it towards the Hunyuan Stele.
boom!
Just then, an astonishing pressure swept towards him, the terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain, like a world pressing down, slamming hard onto Lin Xuan.
"Fuck you!"
Lin Xuan's expression changed drastically. He felt a tremor run through his body, as if his internal organs were about to shift. His bones trembled, and his flesh began to crack little by little, like a spider web instantly covering his entire body.
In an instant, Lin Xuan coughed up blood and his body plummeted from the sky. He crashed into the middle of the Hunyuan Stele from the very top, immediately attracting the attention of countless people on Hunyuan Mountain, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
Someone joined in the laughter: "Hahaha... I knew this kid was going to suffer a big loss. Judging from his appearance, he'll probably be badly injured, if not killed."
"Hmph... It won't be that easy to leave your mark at the very top of the Hunyuan Stele."
"Now that he's injured, he'll probably only be able to leave his name at the very bottom."
...
Many people sneered, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Lin Xuan. However, their sneers soon stopped, because at that moment, Lin Xuan suddenly moved. He raised his hand, and divine light burst forth from his body, instantly enveloping him. His cracked body began to heal at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, he fully recovered. Even his internal organs recovered instantly, returning to their original state.
This is the supreme divine power, the Supreme Mysterious Divine Radiance.
As long as there is still a breath left, even the most severe injury will heal in an instant.
"Damn it, I was careless!"
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. Then, with a swift movement, he soared into the sky once more. He had been unprepared and did not know that leaving one's name on the Primordial Monument would require enduring immense pressure, which was why he had suffered such a great loss.
This time, he was fully prepared, and continuing his ascent would be completely different. He was absolutely confident that he would leave his name at the very top, because he had already experienced the oppressive force emanating from the Primordial Monument, which was equivalent to the oppressive force of a Golden Immortal at the peak.
Other prodigies would definitely not have been able to withstand it, but Lin Xuan had enough confidence.
"Damn it, what kind of technique did he use just now? Such serious injuries were healed in an instant, it's simply unbelievable!"
"Who knows what methods he used? All I know is that he's still not giving up and wants to make a name for himself again."
"This person has unpredictable healing abilities, so naturally he is different."
Many people were discussing it, and at this moment, Lin Xuan had already made his move. He swung the Jingzhe Blade once again, slashing it towards the Hunyuan Stele.
Boom... Bang...
Instantly, a terrifying pressure swept over once again. However, unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Xuan's body suddenly surged with boundless blood and qi, transforming into a blood and qi furnace that protected Lin Xuan's back and forcefully blocked the pressure that descended from the sky.
With a flourish of his brush, Jingzhe carved his name on the Hunyuan Stele in the blink of an eye.
Buzz!
Instantly, the entire Hunyuan Stele trembled, immediately emitting a dazzling light, like a great sun rising into the sky, illuminating the entire Hunyuan Mountain and the surrounding area. On the Hunyuan Stele, the two characters "Lin Xuan" shone brightly, and then two divine rays flew out from these two characters, instantly transforming into a streak of light that merged into Lin Xuan's sea of consciousness.
This is the reward from the Hunyuan Stele.
Lin Xuan trembled, feeling a surge of immense power instantly merging into every inch of his flesh and blood, every cell in his body. In just a moment, his physical body seemed to have doubled in strength.
This shocked Lin Xuan. He possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, and his foundation had been incredibly strong throughout his journey, with his blood and qi condensed into a blood and qi furnace. The power of his physical body was unimaginable. To put it bluntly, even relying solely on his physical strength, Lin Xuan could kill an ordinary Celestial Immortal with a single punch.
At his level, further improvement of his physical body would be extremely difficult. But now, simply leaving his name on the Primordial Monument has doubled the strength of his physical body. This doesn't mean his physical combat power has doubled! It means his physical body has become much stronger. If converted into combat power, it would probably be more than ten times stronger.
In other words, if Lin Xuan had previously relied on his physical body, he could only deal with ordinary celestial immortals.
Now he can sweep through most of the Celestial Immortal realms.
This was an incredibly terrifying improvement, which is why Lin Xuan was so shocked. The improvement was simply too overwhelming, leaving him trembling with fear and completely unable to believe it. What Lin Xuan didn't know was that while he was stunned by the reward, the entire Hunyuan Mountain, and even the entire Qiongyu Star, was experiencing a massive upheaval because of him.
The Hunyuan Stele emitted a dazzling light, like a great sun, illuminating not just Hunyuan Mountain, but the entire Qiongyu Star.
At this moment, in the sky above the entire Qiongyu Star, an ancient stele stood tall between heaven and earth, with the two characters "Lin Xuan" at the very top, shining like a blazing sun, illuminating the world.
