The man wore gray robes and had a pale face without a beard. He had an ordinary appearance but his eyes were bright and spirited.
"Ugh!"
The gray-robed man looked at his surroundings in disappointment and sighed. "To think that I, Lin Xuanji, have ascended for so many years but my luck has always been bad and I've been through so many hardships. Up till this point of my cultivation, I'm only a Grade 7 Heavenly Immortal."
"Everyone else stumbles upon all sorts of opportunities and fortuitous encounters. I spent so much effort and effort to deduce that there's a huge opportunity here. Why am I teleported to this lousy place?"
The gray-robed man was none other than Lin Xuanji of Tianhuang Mainland.
In Tianhuang Mainland, Lin Xuanji was the disciple of the storyteller of Enigma Palace and had a noble status. He enjoyed playing in the mortal world.
However, after ascending to the upper world, the environment around him turned extremely cruel.
He had to use all his strength just to survive, let alone play in the mortal world!
Lin Xuanji fled from many places and experienced countless dangers. It was as though he had left all his luck in the lower world.
Thankfully, he relied on the Dao techniques of Enigma Palace to avert danger many times.
Lin Xuanji looked at the desolate and dead ancient planet and could naturally sense that there were no signs of life on it nor was there any Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
There could not be any opportunities on an ancient planet like this that had been abandoned for so many years.
"Ugh."
Lin Xuanji sighed again. "When will my luck change? The upper world is way too difficult. If I had known, I would have stayed in the lower world. I've had enough of being hunted down all day. "
For the sake of this opportunity, Lin Xuanji sold all the treasures in his storage bag and exchanged them for a teleportation talisman.
To think that the teleportation talisman would be tossed to such a godforsaken ancient planet.
Right now, Lin Xuanji's storage bag was even cleaner than his face – there wasn't even a single Essence Spirit Stone!
At this moment, the ground not far away suddenly moved.
Sensing something, Lin Xuanji looked over warily.
The ground protruded slightly, as though something was about to pop out!
Poof!
Just as Lin Xuanji was feeling bewildered, the ground suddenly split open and a black shadow emerged from the ground, facing Lin Xuanji!
"F * ck! What's that?! "
Lin Xuanji was shocked and his legs went limp, almost falling to the ground.
"You're Lin Xuanji?"
Suddenly, the black shadow spoke with an old and hoarse voice.
"It's a human?"
Lin Xuanji snapped out of his stupor and took a closer look.
This black figure seemed to be an old man.
The old man's face and body were covered in mud, revealing only a pair of eyes that stared straight at Lin Xuanji.
Lin Xuanji scanned the old man with his divine will and found out that the old man was merely an Earth Immortal. Furthermore, his life aura was weak as though he was at the end of his rope and could die at any moment.
"What are you doing down there, old man? Why are you so flustered? "
Lin Xuanji said in annoyance.
"Your name is Lin Xuanji?"
The old man asked again, still staring at Lin Xuanji.
"So what if I am?"
Lin Xuanji raised his brows slightly.
The old man nodded and said, "Young man, your deduction is very accurate. Your opportunity is right here!"
"Oh? Where is it? "
Lin Xuanji asked doubtfully.
The old man pointed at himself and said, "It's me."
"You?"
Lin Xuanji was stunned for a moment before sighing. Casting a spell, he cleaned the dirt on the old man's body.
"Old man,"
Lin Xuanji sighed. "There's not much I can do. All I can do is help you clean up. You can go on your way with dignity."
Suddenly, the old man reached out with his withered palm and gripped Lin Xuanji's wrist, asking, "You don't believe in my methods?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Xuanji wanted to retract his arm and retreat.
However, he realized that the old man's palm was like an iron hoop that gripped his wrist tightly such that he could not budge at all!
Lin Xuanji understood right away that he had met an expert.
"You're strong, senior,"
Lin Xuanji's smile returned immediately as he complimented.
The old man said in a deep voice, "The inheritance of my lineage is of utmost importance. If you accept my inheritance, you must shoulder your own responsibilities!"
Lin Xuanji felt a headache coming on.
This old man's background was unknown and he did not know where he came from – how would he dare to accept someone else's inheritance so casually?
Furthermore, who knew if there were any traps in an opportunity inheritance that was delivered right to his doorstep?
Lin Xuanji chuckled. "Senior, I'm slow-witted and my potential is too poor. It's easy for me to sully the reputation of your lineage."
"If you want to find a successor, I'll help you! Don't worry, I'll definitely put in some effort and find you a successor with an excellent foundation! "
Lin Xuanji only wanted to escape as far as possible from this old man as possible.
"No!"
The old man's tone was firm. "It's you! You're the one I fancy! "
"What about me do you fancy?"
Lin Xuanji could not help but roll his eyes and mutter, "We're strangers who met by chance and don't know each other."
"You're Lin Xuanji,"
The old man said.
"That's right," Lin Xuanji replied.
The old man was expressionless. "In my sect, everyone calls me Old Xuan."
"And?"
Lin Xuanji asked.
Old Xuan said slowly, "Both our names have the word 'Xuan' in them. Therefore, we're fated."
Lin Xuanji: "???"
"Senior, don't you think … you're being a little too hasty?"
Lin Xuanji asked carefully.
The old man replied, "This is the will of the heavens. Since you know some divination, it's your destiny to be able to come here."
"Senior, I don't know about your other methods, but you're indeed good at bluffing others," Lin Xuanji snickered.
Hailing from Enigma Palace, he had once roamed the mortal world as a storyteller and had seen too many people who were deliberately mystifying.
He was an expert among them as well.
When the old man saw that Lin Xuanji was unwilling to agree, his initially murky eyes dimmed.
Seemingly dispirited, the old man gradually released his grip and shook his head. "Forget it, forget it! If you're unwilling, I can't force you. "
Lin Xuanji flicked his wrist and pursed his lips.
The old man murmured softly, "Initially, I had an even better successor with the Creation Qinglian bloodline. Unfortunately, he was harmed … sigh."
"Qinglian bloodline?"
Lin Xuanji's ears twitched as he vaguely realized something and asked hurriedly, "Senior, is the successor you mentioned earlier on surnamed Su?"
"His name is Su Zimo."
The old man nodded and looked at Lin Xuanji in surprise, asking, "You know him?"
"I do!"
Lin Xuanji slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, "Senior, we're good brothers! We're on the same side!"
"Senior, what did you say about him being harmed earlier on? My good brother is dead? "Lin Xuanji asked hurriedly.
The old man remained silent and merely nodded.
Lin Xuanji gripped his fists slightly and asked, "Senior, tell me about Brother Su. Who was the one who harmed him?"
The old man glanced at Lin Xuanji. "We met by chance and don't know each other. Why should I tell you?"
"F * ck! This old man is vengeful! "
Lin Xuanji forced a smile and said hurriedly, "Senior, please accept me as your successor. I'll definitely not let your legacy down!"
