The Great Emperor of the Ancients had an inexplicable expression on his face. Ever since the Astral Ruler had fallen, this was the first time he had smiled so happily.
At this moment, Lin Xiu also saw many extremely powerful figures. The aura on their bodies was like a raging river, making it difficult for Lin Xiu to breathe for a moment.
It wasn't that Lin Xiu was completely defenseless against them. It was just that after the baptism of time and the countless battles of life and death, he still had an indescribable temperament.
Just like fine wine, the longer it was stored, the more mellow and alluring its fragrance would be.
These experts were extremely powerful to begin with. Over the years, they had all survived in the cracks. All of them had trained and become independent experts. Not only did they have to ensure the safety of the people under their rule, but they also had to work hard to cultivate. That was the only way for the forces left behind by the Astral Ruler to continue existing.
Lin Xiu greeted them one by one, and all of them had a smile on their faces. No matter what, they had finally met the successor of their old master. This caused their originally calm hearts to ripple a little again.
Lin Xiu also saw two familiar faces in the crowd, Qing Yu and the green-robed old man. At this moment, the two of them were nodding frequently in the crowd, and they were even whispering to others, probably introducing some things about Lin Xiu to these experts.
The two of them had a very good impression of Lin Xiu. Ever since they were in the Immortal Martial World, Lin Xiu's talent had been better than theirs, which made them acknowledge him from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, when the Immortal Martial Continent was in danger, Lin Xiu even stood out without hesitation.
It could be said that the reason why the Astral Ruler chose Lin Xiu as his successor was because of Qing Yu and the green-robed old man, especially the green-robed old man. In the Ancient Celestial Dragon Palace, he was originally in charge of selecting some talented warriors, and Lin Xiu had stood out from the crowd.
When Lin Xiu arrived in front of the two of them, they were also very relieved.
Back then, when the three of them parted ways outside the Immortal Martial World, they had already made up their minds. No matter what, they had to unite the forces under the Star Sovereigns so that they could prepare for the upcoming battle.
This world had never been truly peaceful. The Lord of the Nether was ambitious and wholeheartedly wanted to break through to the unprecedented realm, so that he could look down on the past and present. Because of the mistakes he had made in the past, he only wanted to try his best to make up for them. all these years, he had been constantly going against the Lord of the Nether, and as the direct subordinates of the Astral Ruler, they had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the glory of the Astral Ruler.
Over the years, they had been waiting in complete darkness. They even thought that the glory of the Star Ruler would forever be lost in the endless darkness and would never be able to illuminate the universe again. When the azure-clothed old man told them that the Star Ruler had chosen a successor, everyone was filled with boundless joy.
It was just that these people originally had expectations for Lin Xiu, but after all, they had never met him properly, so they didn't know what kind of person Lin Xiu was.
After the green-robed old man told them all about Lin Xiu, they gradually had a sense of recognition for Lin Xiu. No matter what, a person's state of mind was related to the direction of their future life, and they were destined to be tied to the same chariot as Lin Xiu. Of course, they hoped to meet a gentle and refined master to follow.
If Lin Xiu was the same as the Lord of the Nether, then whether Lin Xiu had obtained the inheritance of the Astral Ruler or not, no matter how terrifying Lin Xiu's talent was, they would not recognize him at all.
Fortunately, Lin Xiu did not let them down in the end. Even if they had just met, these people had lived for so long after all, they could naturally see a person's character from his actions. They believed that Lin Xiu was a person who was worthy of being entrusted.
After exchanging greetings with these people, the group of powerhouses did not hide anything and reported their cultivation realm. What surprised Lin Xiu was that there were even a few among them who had truly reached the peak of the Venerable Realm and had even begun to explore a little about time. This group of people could be called heroes even in the void of the universe. Lin Xiu did not expect them to be so loyal to the Astral Ruler and were even willing to serve him as their master. It was really incredible.
However, Lin Xiu could also see that these people respected the Astral Ruler from the bottom of their hearts. It was not only because the Astral Ruler was powerful, but also because of the Astral Ruler's character.
At this moment, Lin Xiu also secretly made up his mind. Although he did not have an imposing personality like the Astral Ruler, he definitely could not watch the world become worse. No matter what, he had to use all his power and absolutely could not let the Lord of the Nether's plan succeed. Otherwise, the world would be completely messed up and he would have let the Astral Ruler down.
Since both parties had already gotten to know each other, the Emperor of the Antiquity immediately ordered his maidservants to set up an extremely sumptuous banquet. In an instant, everyone was toasting each other uncomfortably as they recounted the hardships of the past tens of thousands of years.
Although they were extremely powerful and seemed to be famous, it was imaginable how much pressure they had to endure when facing two rulers. Furthermore, the Lord of the Nether had even sent quite a number of experts to plant spies in their territories, causing them to feel rather aggrieved over the past few years.
However, with Lin Xiu's arrival, everything would be rewritten. As the successor of the Astral Ruler, Lin Xiu was extremely proficient in using the power of the stars. Furthermore, these people had been influenced by the Astral Ruler back then, so they had a deep understanding of the Astral Art.
When Lin Xiu voiced out some of his doubts about the Astral Art, these experts were immediately able to give him a solution. Furthermore, there were quite a number of talented people who were able to draw inferences about other things from one instance, allowing Lin Xiu to be enlightened.
The banquet lasted until the latter half of the night before everyone finally dispersed. All these years, their heartstrings had been stretched taut and they were unwilling to relax at all. However, today, they finally fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Xiu and the Emperor of the Ancients were not drunk. The two of them looked at the bright moon in the sky, then walked side by side to the garden. The Emperor of the Ancients looked at Lin Xiu with a slightly apologetic expression.
"Lin Xiu, I know that this is very unfair to you. You've only obtained the inheritance of the ruler, but you have no obligation to mess around with us. I don't even know how powerful the opponents you're going to face are. If you're unfortunate enough to fall in the end, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace for the rest of my life."
Seeing the sincerity on the Emperor of the Ancients' face, Lin Xiu merely smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Senior, you're being too serious. I've already met the Astral Ruler in the Primordial Battlefield. He told me many things about his life. To be able to become the disciple of such a great existence is something that I couldn't ask for more. Furthermore, as his disciple, it's my duty to avenge him. You don't have to feel so guilty."
Seeing that Lin Xiu could see through everything so clearly, the Emperor of the Ancients also smiled in relief. Lin Xiu's actions did not let down the Emperor of the Ancients who spared no effort in nurturing him all these years.
These experts all had their own disciples, and they had their own unique experiences in nurturing their disciples. However, none of them would give them any resources, and they only wanted their disciples to grow quickly. Only by experiencing the tempering of blood and fire, and experiencing the feeling of dancing on the edge of a blade time and time again, would they understand the preciousness of life.
The reason why they did that to Lin Xiu was because they felt that the Astral Ruler would not be wrong about a person. That was why they boldly forced Lin Xiu to grow rapidly.
Although from a long-term point of view, this might cause certain restrictions on Lin Xiu's future breakthroughs, a great war was imminent. If Lin Xiu was still at the first level of the Venerable Realm, it might be difficult for him to truly survive. That would be the real harm to Lin Xiu.
Of course, Lin Xiu was well aware of this. He did not have the slightest bit of resentment. To be able to attain his current cultivation realm in just a few hundred years was something that would cause countless people's eyeballs to fall to the ground in shock.
Living in a chaotic world, there was naturally no need to care about some worldly rules. Lin Xiu thought that if he wanted to avenge the Astral Ruler and stop the Lord of the Nether's conspiracy, he would have to make himself stronger as soon as possible. There was nothing wrong with what the Emperor of the Ancients did.
However, there was something that made Lin Xiu a little unhappy. He did not know why, but after seeing so many powerhouses, there was a slight disturbance in his state of mind. This was because among these powerhouses, there was a person with an aura that he hated the most.
