With the power of the Seven-Kill Shao Wind Sword, even a divine-tier powerhouse wouldn't be able to escape death.
However, if he killed Zhong Zhengyang just like that, it would be troublesome in the future. After all, this was the Human Path's territory, and he had just joined the Human Path.
Therefore, he changed his mind. He put away the Seven-Kill Shao Wind Sword and punched Zhong Zhengyang's face with his fist.
"Little b * stard, how dare you —"
Bang!
Lin Xuan's fist landed on Zhong Zhengyang's face. Zhong Zhengyang felt a huge force hit him, and his nose caved in. He flew backward with blood gushing out of his nose.
Lin Xuan sneered and continued to use the power of the Divine Time Stone to shine on Zhong Zhengyang, wanting to punch him again.
However, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Zhong Zhengyang used the momentum of being sent flying to escape the range of the gray light.
Then, he quickly pulled out a fiery longsword.
Boom!
A destructive, scorching aura radiated from Zhong Zhengyang's body.
Zhong Zhengyang's aura changed drastically as he held the longsword. His entire body emitted a soaring sword Qi, and the brilliant sword aura spread in all directions. The sea of clouds within dozens of miles churned and dissipated, revealing the vast land below.
He looked at Lin Xuan coldly and slowly moved his sword, locking onto Lin Xuan from afar.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat when Zhong Zhengyang's sword Qi locked onto him. He stopped and clenched his tortoiseshell again with a serious expression.
He had no chance of winning against a peak divine-tier sword cultivator.
Perhaps only the tortoiseshell of the Destined Black Tortoise could block his opponent's sword Qi.
However, he wasn't afraid because he had already observed his martial arts fate. There was no bloody disaster today.
"Lin Xuan, you little brat. You're indeed capable to be chosen by the Sovereigns! However, I'm still going to teach you a lesson today! "
Zhong Zhengyang roared and was about to attack.
However, at that moment, a pressure as heavy as a hundred thousand mountains suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped Zhong Zhengyang.
Zhong Zhengyang's body suddenly sank, and his face turned pale. He began to tremble slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was unaffected. He looked up into the sky and saw a towering figure with white hair and beard. It was the White Emperor.
The White Emperor looked down at Zhong Zhengyang calmly and said, "Zhong Zhengyang, you volunteered to guide Lin Xuan into Dao. Is it just to vent your anger?"
"Ancestor! I … I don't understand. What makes this kid worthy of wielding the Mortal Sovereign's Sword? If an outsider wields the Human Sovereign Sword, what will become of the Ji Family in the future? "Zhong Zhengyang said stubbornly despite sweating profusely.
The White Emperor shook his head and said indifferently, "Without the Sword of the Human Sovereign, the Ji Family may decline, but it will not perish. If the Ji Family continues to wield the Mortal Sovereign's Sword, the human race will perish.
Over the past 100,000 years, the human race conquered 164 Minor Chiliocosms during its heyday. Now, only 93 of them still have traces of the human race, and only five of them are controlled by the human race.
If this continues, our human race won't be far from extinction. "
"But it's not just the Ji Family's fault! Will the Ji Family be able to turn the situation around if they give up the Mortal Sovereign's Sword? "Zhong Zhengyang retorted, unconvinced.
The White Emperor was a little angry. He snorted impatiently and said, "The Ji Family has wielded the Mortal Sovereign's Sword for tens of thousands of years. They've been watching the human race's space disappear without doing anything. Isn't that a fault?
Zhong Zhengyang, you're the Human Path's Scorching Sun Swordsman. You're no longer the Ji Family's servant. You've violated the Human Path's rules by harming the sword master out of personal anger. Go to the Soul Refining Tower to receive your punishment! "
Zhong Zhengyang's expression changed. He wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he only cupped his hands silently and turned to leave.
Before he left, he glared at Lin Xuan angrily. He was still angry.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. He did not care at all.
The White Emperor looked at Lin Xuan and smiled apologetically. "Lin Xuan, I was careless about what happened earlier.
However, Zhong Zhengyang wants to remind you that the Ji Family has deep roots. Their family's influence is almost omnipresent in the human world. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble like this in the future. You'd better be mentally prepared. "
"I understand."
Lin Xuan nodded. However, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
For tens of thousands of years, the Mortal Sovereign's Sword had been under the control of the Ji Family. It had long been regarded as the family's sacred item. No outsiders were allowed to touch it.
However, now, Lin Xuan had become the first person not surnamed Ji to wield the Mortal Sovereign's Sword. This was no different from pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.
Even with the memory crystal ball left behind by Ji Yuanxiu, Lin Xuan did not think that the Ji Family could bury the hatchet with him.
"Come with me. I'll bring you to familiarize yourself with the Human Path."
The White Emperor called out to Lin Xuan. With a wave of his sleeve, he parted the clouds and descended.
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized why Zhong Zhengyang could not find the Human Path's headquarters even after flying for more than two hours. It turned out that the Human Path's territory was on the ground beneath their feet.
The White Emperor did not land on the ground. He slowed down and walked side by side with Lin Xuan. They strolled in the air at a moderate speed. It was as if he was bringing Lin Xuan to appreciate the scenery on the ground.
On the ground below, there were endless mountain ranges and plains that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Between the cities, villages, and fields, humans could be seen bustling about. However, there were no other intelligent races. Not even half a ferocious beast could be seen.
The vitality between heaven and earth was not rich. It was far from that of the True Martial Domain. This also caused the cultivation of the humans on the ground to be generally low.
However, Lin Xuan carefully discovered that the spirits of the humans on this side of the world were generally better.
Whether it was the woodcutters and fishermen in the mountains or the peddlers and servants in the marketplace, their faces were filled with satisfaction and ease.
No matter whether they were poor or rich, everyone did not bow to officials. They were not afraid of powerful warriors. There were few disputes between people. Everywhere was a scene of harmony.
At first glance, the common people were well-fed and well-clothed. Children played on the streets. Scholars talked loudly. Warriors exchanged friendly pointers. Everywhere was filled with peace and stability. This was simply a paradise on earth.
Most importantly, this situation was not limited to a village, a town, or a city. It was the same everywhere Lin Xuan passed by.
A hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles. Different regions, but the same atmosphere.
Along the way, Lin Xuan gradually became curious.
"Lin Xuan, this world is called the Scorching Sun World. Although it is only a minor world, its history is extremely long. It can be traced back to the era of the Human Ancestor. It is of great significance to us humans," the White Emperor said.
"Oh? What kind of meaning does it have? "Lin Xuan asked curiously.
The White Emperor smiled. "Its greatest significance is that it is the origin of us humans."
