Chapter 1420: Interesting

The only old monster who has abandoned the great dao and cultivated himself No one in the lower domain world can kill him.

This had been Zhao Tailais evaluation of the Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon Houses owner Lone Man.

As Lin Xun recalled this old man from his memory, he suddenly remembered how Quasi-Emperor Baqi, who had brought Yun Qingbai to Mind Cleansing Peak back then, had once said that there was a true Emperor guarding the lower world.

And Zhao Tailai had said no one could kill Lone Man

Can it be that Baqi was referring to Lone Man?

Lin Xuns expression changed, wondering if that old man he had met was really so powerful.

Yeah, lets go and meet him. Lin Xun was also quite curious.

Of course, the main purpose was still to enter the Blood Kill Battlefield as the reason why he had returned to the lower world was to seek the path to become a Supreme Saint.

Back then, the great emperor had said that the opportunity for Lin Xun to become a Saint lay in the lower world.

Since the great emperor, the empress, and a host of other terrifying figures of the Ziyao Empire had all left for the Blood Kill Battlefield over a decade ago, Lin Xun speculated that his so-called opportunity might be hidden there.

Lin Xun still wouldnt forget that in the Blood Kill Battlefield, there was an extremely bizarre and menacing area Mulberry Woodland!

That place was home to the mysterious, sky-reaching ice saint tree where a golden cicada perched. It emitted a sacred, obscure, and unfathomable aura.

There was also the violent and ruthless white cicada, who could shatter the sky and shake the whole region with a cry.

That place also housed the blood-colored moth with a Saint aura that flew fiercely through the thick fog.

There was also the ten-thousand-foot long azure dragon hibernating underground. Its pupils were profound like the galaxy, and they projected the phenomena of the sun rising, the moon falling, and the passing of the ages.

Furthermore, there was a sentient, broken war spear splitting the void as if possessed by the god of war. And then there was a demonic golden flower that emitted golden sword lights that could tear apart the whole world

Lin Xun would never forget the shocking change that year when he had left the Mulberry Woodland. Auspicious azure clouds had condensed into flowers raining down from the sky.

A mysterious ancient dao palace had also appeared that had 9999 steps leading up to it that resembled a staircase to the heavens! Its divine light illuminated the sky and dyed the core of the woodland in a layer of majestic sacredness.

Everything there just seemed so mysterious!

Before Lin Xun had returned to the lower world, he had surmised that his opportunity to become a Saint would be somewhere in two certain areas.

One was the Return Dominion located deep in the Spirit Burial Sea. It was the most mysterious and terrifying dominion out of the four great dao dominions.

The other area was the Mulberry Woodland within the Blood Kill Battlefield, which had displayed many unimaginable scenes of sacred signs.

When learning that the emperor, the empress, the principal of Qinglu Academy, and many other similar power characters had all left the empire for the Blood Kill Battlefield more than ten years ago, Lin Xun had instantly realized that their destination was most likely the Mulberry Woodland!

Forbidden City, in a remote area in the northwest corner.

There was a modest courtyard, above the entrance of which hung a plaque Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House.

The handwriting was askew, almost like a childs scrawl, and unbearable to look at.

Upon arriving, Zhao Jingxuan was dubious. Is this really the place?

This was Lin Xuns second time coming here. With a trace of reminiscence in his expression, he replied, This is indeed the place. Back then, I also didnt expect that such a poetic name would be used for such a restaurant

At that time, he had only been at the Heaven Ascension stage.

Now, after an absence of many years, he was already a seventh longevity Supreme King who not only was known throughout the empire, but had also become one of the most feared enemies of the Brute Warriors.

To the surprise of Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan, there were people inside when they entered the restaurant.

On a wooden table, there were four dishes of snacks, a pot of wine, and two wine cups.

At one side sat a skinny old man with thinning hair, who was none other than the short-tempered Lone Man.

After not seeing him for many years, Lin Xun noticed that he hadnt changed one bit and still looked just as surly and unruly as ever before.

Sitting opposite Lone Man was also an elder in gray robe. He looked extremely old as his hair was all white and his face was full of deep wrinkles.

The elder sat upright, his aura giving off a sense of the vicissitudes of time. However, his eyes were like those of a newborn babys, so bright and clear that they seemed to be able to reflect the deepest secrets in ones heart.

Despite this, both their auras appeared very ordinary, so much so that the average person wouldnt even cast a glance at them when passing by.

However, Lin Xuns cultivation was no longer what it had been that year. Unlike what his eyes were seeing, his spirit sense could not capture the existence of Lone Man at all!

In other words, if he closed his eyes and saw with his spirit sense only, then he would simply be unable to feel Lone Mans presence as the latters aura was as if it was completely non-existent. It was mystical to say the least.

The elders aura, on the other hand, was as calm as still water, but it gave a boundless feeling like that of the great void!

Lin Xun instantly recognized him to be the old seer of the stargazing platform!

Back in the time before he had departed the lower world for the Ancient Wasteland Domain, Lin Xun had visited the stargazing platform and talked to the old seer once.

Their conversation had been about Mister Lu.

The old seer had then told him that the destruction of Lu Boya along with the mine prison was highly likely due to him defying heaven and changing fate.

Now that Lin Xun thought about it, he was startled to realize that it was indeed the case, for the Omega Secret-Realm had the heaven-defying power to change fate!

How could Lin Xun not be alarmed when the old seer had been able to make such an inference?

This thought only briefly crossed his mind, but it had him quite shaken.

He had not expected that just some clues and words from back then could contain so many secrets that he never noticed!

Lin Xun had thought that the old seer of the stargazing platform had also followed the great emperor to the Blood Kill Battlefield, so it was a surprise to see him sitting with Lone Man in the Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House.

Greetings, Seniors. Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan paid their respects.

Here come two more meal squatters. Lone Man rolled his eyes. Well, at least they are qualified to have a seat.

Meanwhile, the old seer smiled faintly as he sized the two juniors up with his bright and clear eyes.

Not only are they qualified, but they also timed their return just right, he commented, then stood up. Ill be waiting for you two at the stargazing platform.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were stunned, realizing that Lone Man and the old seer had already known that they would come.

Have a seat. Ill go make you two some food, said Lone Man after the old seer left. He then got up and went to the kitchen.

Zhao Jingxuan wanted to say something, but Lin Xun stopped her with a chuckle. Dont worry, its just how the old man is.

The two sat down at the table. They didnt wait long before Lone Man finished making some ordinary dishes, but with a good portion of meat and vegetables.

In addition to that, he also brought them a pot of wine.

Lin Xun was very at home as he picked up his chopsticks and started feasting. Although he had tasted a lot of delicious food over the years, the dishes cooked by Lone Man still gave him an incomparable enjoyment.

It felt as if all the taste buds on his tongue were unlocked as an indescribably wonderful flavor exploded in him.

Seeing Lin Xuns satisfied expression, Zhao Jingxuan dubiously tried a vegetable dish.

After just one bite, her eyes widened in disbelief.

And then, she threw all manners out the window and started gorging herself on the food.

With their current cultivation, eating was no longer a necessity, but the food made by Lone Man was just too delicious.

As the two had their meal, Lone Man sat with his eyes squinted, not saying a word as his gaze darted back and forth between them.

Once Lin Xun was full, he couldnt help but sigh, Even the juicy Black Nightmare Sky Dog meat isnt a tenth as good as this.

Zhao Jingxuan nodded in approval.

Lone Man snorted, That kind of inferior dog meat shouldnt be put on the table. Wait until you guys have a taste of dragon livers, phoenix marrows, Kunpeng wings and the likes, only then will you understand what true delicacies mean.

Youve eaten them, Senior? asked Lin Xun. Just the names of all that food alone made ones heart tremble.

Lone Man grunted, What do you think? This old man has eaten more delicacies than you can ever imagine. No more chit-chat! Now that youve had your meal, state the purpose of your visit.

Elder, we need to go to the Blood Kill Battlefield and wonder if you can point us in the right direction, said Zhao Jingxuan.

Your father left you this. With a casual toss of Lone Mans hand, a jade slip fell into Zhao Jingxuans palm.

After just one look, she was immediately engrossed by what was recorded in it and fell into silence.

What about you? Lone Man cast Lin Xun a sidelong glance.

The latter didnt stand on ceremony as he asked, I heard that an opportunity to become a Supreme Saint is hidden in the lower world. Do you think its in the Blood Kill Battlefield?

Lone Mans lips curled into a mocking smile. Already thinking about becoming a Saint when youre only at the seventh longevity stage. Dont you think you are a bit over-ambitious?

Lin Xun disapproved. I can step into the eighth longevity stage right now if I want. As for the ninthit cant trouble me either.

Lone Man sneered. What about the Taboo Dao Tribulation?

Lin Xuns face changed slightly as he was inwardly shocked. The old man had probably figured out something after examining him and knew that he was practicing the Three Ways to the Absolute Apex.

It was simply astonishing as an ordinary person couldnt just casually see the tribulation that Lin Xun would have to face.

Can it be that hes really an Emperor?

After a moment, Lin Xun regained his composure and said, In this unprecedented great age, everything is possible. I wouldnt have chosen this path if I feared the Taboo Dao Tribulation.

This was something he had seriously pondered for a long time in the Supreme Realm, and he had been silently preparing for it as well.

Lone Man seemed surprised to see Lin Xun so calm. Fixing his foggy eyes on Lin Xun, the old man clicked his tongue. Interesting.
