Lin Xun!

Not many people in the world had met Lin Xun in person, but everyone in the world had heard of his name.

At that moment, when they realized that the young man who had appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Feng Luozi was the legendary disciple of Fangchun Mountain, many people’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Those who were acquainted with Lin Xun, such as Mi Wuya, Ling Hongzhuang, Jintian Xuanyue, Xuan Jiuyin, and Ling Kezi, were just as surprised.

This was because they did not expect Lin Xun to actually come!

Amid the silent and tense atmosphere, countless eyes were locked onto Lin Xun.

Some carried hostility, jealousy, and hatred…

Others reflected shock, astonishment, curiosity...

At this moment, Feng Luozi’s face turned an unnatural shade out of shock, fear, and humiliation.

If it had been someone else, he would have used the name of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect to threaten them, but that would be completely useless against Lin Xun.

Over the years, whether it was in the Ancient Nebula Road or in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, there was no one Lin Xun didn’t dare to kill!

Even Great Emperor Baqi, an eighth realm Emperor of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, met with disaster at the hands of Lin Xun!

How would Feng Luozi not be afraid?

He even had a feeling that it was over for him…

Bang!

The next moment, he was flung away and crashed to the ground, his vision spinning with stars.

Despite that, immense joy surged in his heart. Demon God Lin...did not kill him!

Meanwhile, the other experts were swept up in a wave of surprise. Rumor had it that Lin Xun was ruthless and merciless, so how could he possibly let his opponent off so easily?

Instead, Lin Xun furrowed his brows and cast a look toward the distant palace, his eyes filled with seriousness.

He had intended to kill his opponent, but the moment he summoned his powers, he sensed an overwhelming threat from an ultimate great dao law power that made his hair stand on end.

He knew that if he dared to take action, he would be struck down by an unimaginable force!

Xuan Jiuyin, unconcerned about anything else, strode up to Lin Xun and pulled him into a warm and enthusiastic hug.

“Brother Lin, I knew you’d come. Now we’ll have another opportunity to fight side by side again!” He grinned.

Ling Kezi who was standing beside him also smiled. “Brother Xuan is right. I can finally stop worrying now.”

“Hopeless.” Lin Xun joked, giving Ling Kezi a gentle tap on the forehead.

“Young Master.” A stunning figure approached from a distance. Clad in a robe whiter than snow, with ethereal features and a graceful bearing, she resembled a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

It was Jintian Xuanyue.

Her beautiful bright eyes sparkled with uncontrollable surprise and delight.

“Miss Xuanyue, come over here.” Xuan Jiuyin beamed.

Lin Xun also smiled and said, “After parting in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, we finally meet again.”

Reuniting with an old friend after a long separation was naturally a joyous occasion.

However, a jarring voice ruined the moment.

“Jintian Xuanyue, if you stand together with Lin Xun, your Jintian Clan will be dragged into trouble! If you don’t think for yourself, you should at least consider your clan behind you. Don’t forget that Heavenly Emperor Shi has issued the order to kill Lin Xun!”

The one who spoke was a woman in yellow from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court. She was beautiful, outshining all others, yet her expression carried a hint of arrogance and aloofness.

Lin Xun frowned but didn’t say anything in response. He turned to Jintian Xuanyue and reminded, “Although that bitch’s words are a bit harsh, she’s not wrong. Xuanyue, if you choose to join me, your clan could very well be dragged into trouble…”

The woman in yellow’s face darkened at the word ‘bitch,’ but she had to hold back. She dared not act recklessly in the face of Lin Xun.

Over the years, Lin Xun had slaughtered countless disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court, including Huangfu Shaonong. How would she have the guts to challenge Lin Xun?

Jintian Xuanyue inhaled deeply and revealed a faint smile. “When I came to the Nirvana of Transcendence, I had already been expelled from the clan. From now on...my surname is no longer Jintian.”

Lin Xun cast a deep look at Jintian Xuanyue, nodded, and said nothing more.

“Miss Xuanyue, if you are worried about being targeted by Heavenly Emperor Shi, why don’t you come to our Xuan Clan? I guarantee that you will not be harmed in the slightest.” Xuan Jiuyin grinned, then suddenly smacked his forehead as though he had just remembered something.

He sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun, “My old man asks you to drop by our place after the Nirvana of Transcendence is over.”

“What for?” Lin Xun was taken aback.

“You’ll know when you come, right?” In truth, Xuan Jiuyin himself also didn’t know.

Lin Xun agreed.

During the conversation, he noticed that the cultivators nearby were subconsciously keeping their distance from where he stood.

They avoided him like he was a venomous snake, a deadly scorpion, or a bringer of disaster.

At the same time, he sensed numerous hate-filled gazes directed at him, including those from the Primordial Dao Court, Panwu Dao Court, Heaven and Earth Dao Court, as well as members of the Great Ten Battle Clans and various imperial clans.

He was not surprised.

To put it bluntly, if this place weren’t so mysterious and full of unknown dangers, and if the great dao law power didn’t pose a threat to him, he would have actively ‘sought trouble’ long ago.

Those enemies wanted to kill him, but did he not also want to destroy them?

After all, they were all ‘old acquaintances’ and there was no Emperor present. Given his current strength, no one could stand in his way.

Boom!

In the distance, a sudden rumbling erupted.

At that moment, the entrance of the palace, which stood majestically between heaven and earth and was bathed in law power, slowly rumbled open, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Buzz—

Light swirled like rain, law power intertwined, and in front of the palace, an illusory figure suddenly emerged. It was completely formed from great dao law power, radiating supreme majesty.

A commotion broke out as a wave of excitement swept through the crowd, their eyes alight with anticipation.

Is the competition of the Nirvana of Transcendence about to begin?

Some people’s breathing became heavy.

“The journey to nirvana begins from this moment. Stepping into this palace means entering a cycle of reincarnation. Those able to walk out of the cycle of reincarnation will be granted an opportunity for nirvana.”

The figure formed by great dao laws did not speak, but a voice echoed in everyone’s minds, guiding them on what lay ahead.

“Reincarnation begins at True Martial. Your spirit, soul, body, mind, and cultivation will all be reduced to that of an ordinary mortal after entering the cycle of reincarnation, where the True Martial Stage will be the highest limit.”

Everyone erupted into an uproar, faces filled with shock and disbelief.

The True Martial Stage was the first cultivation stage and the first of the lower five stages.

To them now, cultivators at the True Martial Stage were no different from ants and not worth their attention at all.

Yet, they had to enter the cycle of reincarnation and become ordinary people. Only when they broke through into the True Martial Stage would they be able to escape!

Worst of all, after entering reincarnation, their present powers and abilities would disappear!

For a moment, everyone stood in shock and confusion. No one had expected that after entering the Nirvana of Transcendence, what awaited them would be such a test of reincarnation.

The figure formed from great dao laws seemed oblivious and continued, “In the reincarnation of the True Martial Stage, you will all appear in the same world under different identities. To escape, you must leave behind your own great dao will in the True Martial World.”

Different identities!

True Martial World!

Leave behind their own great dao will!

Instantly, many people captured the key details.

“Doesn’t having another identity mean that I will no longer be myself? That would be terrible. What if I become a beggar on the street after reincarnation? That means we fellow disciples won’t be able to recognize each other anymore!” someone wailed in despair.

“The True Martial World…that means the strongest in the reincarnation world would only be the True Martial Stage.” Someone’s eyes brightened

If that was the case, there was nothing to be afraid of!

“Since this is a test, leaving behind your own will in the True Martial World will likely not be so easy...” someone muttered with a frown, deep in thought.

At this moment, Lin Xun remembered something that his second senior brother Zhong Qiu had specifically told him:

“Remember, if you face reincarnation, ‘awakening’ is the most important thing!”

It suddenly struck Lin Xun that the most dangerous aspect of this test likely lay in the word ‘awakening.’

The Master of Fangchun Mountain once said, “In the cycle of reincarnation, once you become lost, regardless of how great your cultivation may be, you will no longer control your life and death, and all efforts will be in vain.”

Now, after entering reincarnation, they would all take on new identities. In other words, if one failed to ‘awaken’ their pre-reincarnation consciousness, they would likely remain lost in it for the rest of their lives!

Lin Xun had once experienced a reincarnation that lasted more than twenty years in the ninth trial of the Great Azure Cloud Path in the Omega Secret-Realm.

At that time, he also appeared with a different identity, and in the end he realized the profound meaning of ‘great dao is reality’ and escaped from the reincarnation world.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he had not awakened his ‘consciousness,’ he would never escape from that trial.

Lin Xun told Xuan Jiuyin, Ling Kezi, and Jintian Xuanyue about everything he knew.

After hearing this, the three felt a chill in their hearts and took note of it.

The figure formed from great dao laws continued, “The cycle of reincarnation in the True Martial World lasts ten years.

“Death in it means real death.

“If you fail to escape after ten years then you will be lost in it for the rest of your life, with no chance of escaping.”

Those words turned the atmosphere deathly still, the air heavy and suffocating, and many people struggled to breathe.

Countless people’s expressions shifted, and a sense of heaviness filled their hearts.

Undoubtedly, this was the great danger lurking in the Nirvana of Transcendence!

Lin Xun’s heart roiled with emotions, and his expression morphed indefinitely.

Ten years, life and death, transcendence and being lost...the dangers are absolutely beyond imagination!

A trembling voice sounded, “Can I…not participate?”

Someone wanted to back out.

The figure formed from law power did not respond, as it was merely a manifestation of great dao laws, devoid of intelligence or consciousness, and incapable of answering questions!
