Xuan had found meaning in his life, and had been working tirelessly for it.
He had traveled the world, fighting against gods and demons, saving the humans who had been enslaved by the gods and demons. He had taught them cultivation techniques so that they could live.
He was tenacious and indomitable. He was treacherous and cunning. He was unscrupulous and unscrupulous. However, he was also unswerving and never forgot his original intentions.
He had escaped death countless times from the betrayal of his own kind, and had also defied the heavens and changed his fate countless times from the pursuit of the gods and demons.
However, his efforts had not been in vain. More and more humans had been freed from the claws of the gods and demons, and his kindness had spread throughout the world.
Day after day, year after year.
Xuan had grown old, but he had left behind the legend of Ancestor Xuan among the humans of the world. He was revered and worshipped by countless humans.
Even on the day he died of old age, he had not been able to see the decline of the gods and demons, nor had he been able to see the rise of the human race.
However, he had not felt disappointed.
In these thousands of years, the gods and demons had become more and more powerful, exterminating one race after another that was stronger than the human race.
However, under Xuan's efforts, the weak human race had not been exterminated. Instead, they had grown tenaciously in the cracks between the gods and demons like grass. Even a wildfire could not burn them away, they would grow again when the spring breeze blew …
In the 37622nd year of the Demon God calendar, Ancestor Xuan had died in the Red River Valley of the Black Tower Mountain Range. His body had turned into a stone peak, existing forever with the heavens and earth. He had lived for two thousand eight hundred and ninety-six years.
The Chronicles of the Demon Sovereign.
… …
Three months had passed.
In the Heart Questioning Palace.
The White Emperor, the Purple Emperor, and the Qing Emperor. The three Emperor-level powerhouses had sat quietly for three months. They had also quietly observed for three months.
In these three months, Xuan had spent thousands of years in the Immemorial World.
The three Emperor-level powerhouses' expressions gradually changed from indifference to solemnity, and then to shock.
When Xuan had died of old age, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible! How could someone reach this step! "The White Emperor exclaimed in disbelief.
"Unbelievable! Ever since the Human Sovereign set up this trial, no one has ever been able to survive a thousand years in there, but this Lin Xuan … this Lin Xuan actually didn't die at the hands of the Gods and Devils, nor did he submit to them. Instead, he died of old age while fighting against the Gods and Devils, and even allowed the human race to continue on. This is simply unbelievable! "The Purple Emperor exclaimed in excitement.
That wasn't the true Immemorial World, but a test set up with the middle Immemorial World as the background.
In the past tests, the outcome of this virtual world was bound to be that the might of gods and demons would envelop the world, and humanity would be completely destroyed.
It mainly tested the trial-taker's nature under extreme circumstances, as well as their inner desires.
However, Xuan had forcibly rewritten the ending. He actually lived to the end of his life. Even when he died, he didn't see the destruction of the Human Race.
This was something that had never happened in the countless trials since ancient times.
In fact, even the several Martial Emperors had not been able to reach this step back then. Even Emperor Yuan, who had the best results, only lived for 980 years. In the end, he was assimilated by the Demon Race and ascended to the Demon Realm.
As for the previous Human Sovereign Sword Master, Ji Yuanxiu, he had only struggled in the virtual Immemorial World for 300 years before he stood out among the Ji Family's prodigies and wielded the Human Sovereign Sword for 600 years.
It could be said that compared to Lin Xuan, Ji Yuanxiu was simply a piece of trash.
As for Lin Su and Ji Changsheng, they didn't even spend 200 years.
It was precisely because of this that the results of Lin Xuan's trial shocked the three Martial Emperors so much.
The Qing Emperor's expression changed. He pondered and said, "This Lin Xuan must have a great background. His fortune is so profound that it's simply unprecedented.
Even if he doesn't participate in the Human Sovereign Sword Master's selection, just this experience alone is enough to make this trip worthwhile. "
"That's right! This kid actually reincarnated as the Demon Venerable's father and witnessed the Demon Venerable's tribulation with his own eyes. I reckon that no one else has such an opportunity. "The White Emperor smiled strangely.
The Purple Emperor hesitated and said, "The results of this trial are already out. Other than Lin Xuan, I'm afraid that no one else is qualified to be the Human Sovereign Sword Master. "
The White Emperor nodded. "I agree. If even Lin Xuan isn't qualified to wield the Human Sovereign Sword Seal, then those good-for-nothings from the Ji Family are even less qualified! "
The Qing Emperor smiled coldly and said, "Remember to send a copy of the trial process to the Ji Family. I'm sure they won't have anything to say."
"Okay." The Purple Emperor nodded.
...
In the square outside the Heart Questioning Palace, Lin Su and Ji Changsheng had been ignored for three months. Both of them had gradually lost their patience.
"Damn it! What are they trying to do? Are they just going to leave us here and ignore us? "Ji Changsheng paced around in frustration.
Lin Su sat cross-legged on the ground and formed a sword with his fingers. He seemed to be thinking about the Sword Dao.
He said casually, "I'm guessing that the trial isn't over yet. No one will pay attention to us until everything is over. Be patient. I'm getting dizzy from all the pacing. "
The two of them had been having this conversation several times a day, and it had been going on for several months.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air not far from the two of them.
Lin Su and Ji Changsheng hurriedly looked over, and their expressions changed slightly.
"Lin! Xuan! It's actually you? "
Ji Changsheng's face turned cold, and a murderous aura rose in his eyes.
That's right, that figure was Lin Xuan.
After Lin Xuan appeared, his face was blank. He stood there in a daze, unable to tell whether he was dead or alive.
"What's going on? Didn't I die? This is … Hmm, I'm Lin Xuan? So it was just a dream … "
Lin Xuan looked at the Destined Black Tortoise shell at his waist and gradually regained his memory. He recalled the cause and effect of the matter and sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent fall on him, making him feel as if there was a thorn in his back.
He slowly turned around, and his eyes met Ji Changsheng's.
Boom!
The moment Ji Changsheng saw Lin Xuan's eyes, he shuddered violently.
He realized that Lin Xuan's eyes had changed in just a few months. The vicissitudes of time, the indifference to life and death, the loneliness in his bones — all of this was unfamiliar to him.
Most importantly, Lin Xuan's eyes had the indifference of the strong looking down on the weak, the indifference of indifference.
These indescribable feelings calmed Ji Changsheng down instantly, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually subsided.
At this moment, his conviction was shaken. He wasn't sure if he was a match for Lin Xuan.
After a full minute, Lin Xuan gradually returned to normal. The vicissitudes, indifference, and loneliness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he began to return to his original self.
"Ji Changsheng, do you want to fight?"
Lin Xuan toyed with the shell of the Destined Black Tortoise and sneered.
Ji Changsheng's expression changed, and he finally snorted. "Forget it, I'm not in a hurry to settle the score with you. Let's wait and see!"
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "If you want to settle the score, I can accompany you at any time, as long as you have the guts!"
"Hmph!"
Ji Changsheng snorted heavily. "Lin Xuan, you won't be arrogant for long. The day you leave the secret realm will be the day you die!"
"Haha, then let's wait and see."
Lin Xuan smiled disdainfully.
At this moment, the clouds on the opposite side of the Hall of Conscience suddenly parted, revealing another majestic hall.
On the plaque of the hall, the words "Hall of Knowledge Seeking" were written in gold, and the light was blinding.
