"He's here, he's finally here..."
"More than half a year has passed... It seems that he is now confident in cracking the final trial jade slip."
"In that case, he will break the record again."
"They've already broken through to the fifth level of the Trial Tower within forty years? I remember that Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhong, it seems, took them more than fifty years to break through to the fifth level of the Trial Tower after entering the Lingxiao lineage!"
"How long has he been at the main peak? Less than forty years, that's really outrageous!!"
"Could it be that his talent far surpasses that of the senior sisters and the others?"
"Not necessarily, he hasn't passed yet..."
"Are you stupid? Senior Brother Lin spent more than half a year recuperating before returning to the Trial Tower. If he wasn't confident, why would he come?"
"Hmm...that makes sense!"
This time, Lin Xiuyuan returned after more than half a year, and in everyone's eyes, he was clearly confident that he could break through to the fifth level of the Trial Tower.
This immediately attracted the attention of countless Lingxiao disciples, who discussed it extensively and were deeply shocked.
If it weren't for the fact happening right before our eyes, it would be truly unbelievable.
After all, the time Lin Xiuyuan took was simply astonishing...
The two most prodigies of our time, Wang Qiuhe and Zhong Qian, both took at least fifty years to successfully break through to the fifth level of the Trial Tower.
If Lin Xiuyuan were to break through to the fifth level this time, it would take him within forty years!
They're way ahead!
It's not just about breaking a record; it's about creating a record that future generations will find difficult to surpass.
This is almost unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated...
It will become a legend, passed down through the Yunxiao Sect, and may even become a legendary story within the Yunmeng Mountains!
When Lin Xiuyuan arrived at the fourth floor of the Trial Tower, the place was already full of people, and all eyes turned to him instantly.
Lin Xiuyuan remained expressionless and strode toward the last trial jade slip.
"Junior Brother Lin, are you confident you can pass this time? If so, you'll create another legend!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xiuyuan paused for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "Junior brother is truly ashamed. How could I have attracted the attention of so many senior and junior brothers? Although I am confident this time, I am not certain that I can solve it smoothly. I can only do my best."
This was not Lin Xiuyuan's modesty. Even after spending half a year reflecting on this and consulting his master Wang Yangshan multiple times, he still did not feel completely confident that he could solve it. At most, he could only manage about 60-70%.
The difficulty was simply too great. By the time the last few jade slips were completed, they involved some of the spirit runes of mid-grade spirit talismans, and the profundity and difficulty increased exponentially.
Otherwise, how could only two or three people in the entire Lingxiao lineage be able to break through to the fifth level in this generation?
As soon as Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking, several voices rang out in succession.
"Senior Brother Lin is being modest, haha. Your talent has long been proven, as you've set numerous records in the Trial Tower..."
"Yes, Junior Brother Lin, you've spent more than half a year preparing before coming back, so you're obviously quite confident. But you're being a bit too modest, haha..."
"Senior brother, you may congratulate your junior brother on breaking through to the fifth level and creating another legend."
"…………"
In an instant, countless flattering words rang out, like stars surrounding the moon.
Lin Xiuyuan was somewhat unaccustomed to this, so he walked directly to the jade slip trial, immersed himself in it with his divine sense, and began to solve it.
Although it seems to be divided only by grade, and they are all spirit talismans, they don't seem to be very difficult to make.
However, this is merely a simple classification to distinguish different levels of talismans. In reality, the difference between a mid-level talisman and a low-level talisman is just like the difference between a low-level talisman and a yellow talisman.
After all, mid-level spirit talismans are a hallmark of the Purple Mansion stage!
It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to decipher these last few trial jade slips in the Trial Tower, as they all reached the level of mid-grade spirit talismans.
Especially this last trial jade slip, with its interwoven spiritual runes, clearly exudes the aura of a mid-level cultivator.
The difficulty involved is self-evident.
However, Lin Xiuyuan had spent half a year preparing and came back well-prepared. He had consulted with his teacher, Wang Yangshan, multiple times, and received guidance from Wang Qiuhe during their discussions.
Therefore, the chances of success are naturally quite high!
Lin Xiuyuan stood upright like a pine tree, his eyes closed, and all his divine sense poured into the jade slip. The jade slip in front of him immediately emitted a soft white light, which reflected on Lin Xiuyuan's calm face, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable meaning.
Clearly, with the significant increase in difficulty, it took Lin Xiuyuan a considerable amount of time to solve the puzzle.
Two whole months have passed, and the last trial jade slip of the fourth level has only been half-deciphered, with progress now as slow as a tortoise crawling.
Many of the Lingxiao disciples who gathered here back then have dispersed, and several generations have come and gone.
However, many disciples still gathered around, wanting to witness the moment the legend would unfold.
However, as the third and fourth months passed... Lin Xiuyuan remained engrossed in solving the puzzle.
The number of disciples gathered on the fourth floor of the Trial Tower has finally decreased, leaving only a few relatively free disciples who are still studying the Trial Jade Slips while waiting for the results, to see if a legend will be created or if Lin Xiuyuan will return empty-handed.
However, by this point, most people believed that Lin Xiuyuan was likely to fail this time.
After all, it's been too long...
"It seems that the genius of Lingxiao is going to fail this time."
"If it hasn't been cracked after so long, it's probably a failure."
"I should go back and reflect for a few years before coming back..."
