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 Seven Meridians of the Big Dipper!"
Lin Xuan was taken aback, then frowned slightly. He did not make a choice immediately. In fact, he had no choice. He did not know much about the Seven Meridians of the Big Dipper. He had only heard Jiang Chenkong mention a few things on the way, but they were not systematic.
Lin Xuan was well aware that the seven lineages of the Big Dipper each had a different lineage, and once chosen, they could not be easily changed, as they concerned his future path, so he could not act recklessly.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan cupped his hands towards Jiang Chenkong and said, "Senior, I know almost nothing about the seven lineages of the Big Dipper Holy Land. Do you have any recommendations?"
Lin Xuan wasn't stupid. Just because he didn't understand the Seven Meridians of the Big Dipper didn't mean Jiang Chenkong was. Jiang Chenkong was an elder of the Big Dipper Holy Land and a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, so he naturally knew the advantages of the Seven Meridians of the Big Dipper. If he recommended them, it would definitely be much better than making a random choice himself.
"You're quite cunning!"
Jiang Chenkong glanced at Lin Xuan with a smile, not angry at all. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "The Seven Lineages of the Big Dipper each have their own strengths. They have all been passed down for countless years. There is no one lineage that is stronger or weaker than another. When choosing a lineage, disciples should choose the one that is most suitable for them."
"You possess the Ancient Sacred Body, making you inherently unparalleled in combat power. I suggest you choose the Yao Guang lineage, because within this lineage lies a secret technique called Po Jun, the supreme method of the Yao Guang lineage. It offers an incredibly powerful boost to combat strength, making it perfectly suited for your unparalleled Ancient Sacred Body..."
"A secret technique with unparalleled combat power?"
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. This Breaking Army Secret Technique, so highly praised by Jiang Chenkong, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, must be extraordinary. However, the more precious the secret technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate. After all, the Big Dipper Holy Land is not a charity. With so many disciples in such a large holy land, if everyone could cultivate such a sect-protecting secret technique, wouldn't it be chaos?
Lin Xuan was not blinded by profit. He knew very well that the more precious a secret technique or method was, the more difficult it was to obtain.
He was weighing the pros and cons, and many thoughts were running through his mind.
After a while.
Lin Xuan then turned to Jiang Chenkong and said, "In that case, I will choose the Yao Guang lineage!"
Of course, Lin Xuan's decision was not made on a whim, but after careful consideration. Just as Jiang Chenkong said, he possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, and since the Yao Guang lineage's Breaking Army Secret Technique was so helpful to him, how could he let it go?
As for how difficult it is to obtain, Lin Xuan had already considered that. Difficult to obtain doesn't mean it's impossible, it just means the requirements are quite high. Since the requirements are there, then he'll meet them. Lin Xuan didn't believe that the Yao Guang lineage wouldn't pass on the Po Jun Secret Technique.
He was confident that he could obtain it if he wanted it to be passed down.
That's how confident I am.
After all, if a cheater like him didn't even have this much confidence, he would really be letting down that damn system.
"Alright, in that case, I will now take you to Yaoguang Star, where the Yaoguang lineage is located."
Jiang Chenkong smiled with satisfaction and then said to Lin Xuan, "You are a true disciple and are considered a mid-level disciple in the Beidou Holy Land. However, you should not be arrogant because of this. Although you have great talent and won first place in the All-Heavens Peak Battle, you should not be proud of this."
My Beidou Holy Land is a cosmic overlord-level power, governing 18,000 star fields, and we have no shortage of geniuses. Among them, I have seen many with talents similar to yours, or even stronger than yours.
You should know that not all geniuses in the universe participate in the Battle of the Peaks. After all, the requirements and conditions are demanding and involve luck. Some people who are a little older are simply not included in this scope.
However, in the long course of cultivation, a difference of several hundred years is actually nothing; they are all just members of the younger generation…
"Don't worry, Elder, I know."
Lin Xuan naturally knew what Jiang Chen was talking about: there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. He certainly wouldn't consider himself the number one genius in the universe just because he won first place in the All-Heavens Peak Battle. If he really had such thoughts, that would be truly laughable.
The universe is vast and boundless, and the Battle of the Peaks is just one way to select geniuses, not the only way.
"Good to know!"
Jiang Chenkong nodded in satisfaction, then without further ado, he led Lin Xuan across the sky. In the blink of an eye, they arrived on the massive Yaoguang Star. The two appeared directly in front of a palace atop a mountain. The palace gates were already open, and the instant they arrived, a middle-aged man dressed in black robes stepped out.
He quickly bowed to Jiang Chenkong and said, "Greetings, Elder Jiang!"
"Um!"
Jiang Chenkong nodded slightly before continuing, "Zhao Quan, this is Lin Xuan, the number one in the All Heavens Peak Battle. I was ordered by my sect to take him as a true disciple of my Beidou Holy Land. Now that he has joined your Yaoguang lineage, you can make the arrangements!"
"Number one in the Battle of the Peaks of the Heavens!"
Zhao Quan, the middle-aged man in black robes, was startled and immediately looked at Lin Xuan. His pupils shrank to a single point in an instant, and he was secretly alarmed.
Just now, the instant he looked at Lin Xuan, he saw two divine lights burst forth in Lin Xuan's eyes, as if they could pierce through his soul. He was so frightened that he felt a chill run down his spine, his soul seemed to leave his body, and he was completely stunned for a moment.
"Ahem... Elder, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Junior Brother Lin..."
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Quan immediately spoke, his heart pounding with fear, thinking to himself that Lin Xuan's strength was too great.
Jiang Chenkong was actually fully aware of the covert exchange between the two, but he simply didn't reveal it. He was also somewhat astonished, not expecting that their confrontation would end with Zhao Quan suffering a hidden loss.
It's important to know that Zhao Quan isn't a disciple, but a steward of the Yao Guang lineage, and his strength is quite considerable! It's interesting that he couldn't suppress Lin Xuan.
As expected of someone who won first place in the All-Heavens Peak Battle, he is indeed not to be underestimated!
Jiang Chenkong thought to himself, but didn't show it on his face. Instead, he turned to Lin Xuan and said, "Lin Xuan, this is Zhao Quan. He's the steward of the Yao Guang lineage, responsible for arranging matters for new disciples. He'll take care of everything for you. I'll be leaving now. If you need anything in the future, you can send me a message..."
"Yes, thank you Elder Jiang!"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly and bowed to Jiang Chenkong. Regardless of the circumstances, it was Jiang Chenkong who brought him to this Beidou Holy Land, so Lin Xuan naturally felt a sense of closeness to him.
Moreover, Jiang Chenkong did tell him a lot of things along the way, popularizing some knowledge, so that he wasn't completely ignorant about the Beidou Holy Land.
