Xie Yutang couldn’t help feeling angry or rather it was jealousy.

During this period, rumors about Lin Xun had shaken the world again and again and set off countless storms.

He had become one of the most well-known peerless figures among the younger generation of West Infinity World. No one in the world hadn’t heard of his name.

Almost in all the thousands of provinces and cities in West Infinity World were rumors about the Demon God Lin circulating.

In comparison, Xie Yutang might have joined the Feather Sword Sect, but his name and reputation had never spread beyond his province. The difference between them was too great.

How could the proud and arrogant Xie Yutang, who never attached any importance to Lin Xun, take that?

He couldn’t accept that a young man who came from a poor village in the Lower Domain was riding the crest of a wave of popularity now.

So, on the same day, as a successor of the Feather Sword Sect, he leaked information to the Windspeaker Clan, intending to expose Lin Xun’s background and clear the ridiculous rumors surrounding Lin Xun!

This was huge news!

When the Windspeaker Clan learned of it, they immediately went into action and spread it out.

“Shocking news! According to Xie Yutang, the successor of the Feather Sword Sect, Demon God Lin comes from the lower domain and an unknown family. He is definitely not a successor of a mysterious ancient sect! Based on this, Demon God Lin should have nothing to do with the mysterious woman!”

The West Infinity World was shaken once again, and many cultivators were dumbfounded.

Lower domain world?

In many cultivators’ view, the lower domain was a barren land. Its great dao was damaged, so it was considered a wasteland for cultivation!

Cultivators from the Ancient Wasteland Domain always had an innate sense of superiority over people from the lower domain just like the way that noble figures from the palace looked at beggars on the street.

Is Demon God Lin actually a cultivator from the lower domain?

Countless cultivators who originally admired and respected Lin Xun were left very bewildered.

“Oh, he is a guy from the lower domain. I thought he was amazing, but it turns out that he is not that impressive!”

“What Demon God Lin? He has just been getting lavish praise from the Windspeaker Clan, but he is nothing but a country bumpkin from the lower domain. He does not deserve the fame!”

Many people ridiculed Lin Xun.

In recent days, rumors about Lin Xun could be heard everywhere. He was hailed as a dazzling peerless and courageous figure of the younger generation.

This originally made some young cultivators very unconvinced, envious and jealous of him.

So, once Lin Xun’s background had been exposed, they couldn’t help but gloat and use the chance to attack and ridicule him.

All of a sudden, all kinds of insults were thrown at Lin Xun, most of which came from the younger generation of cultivators. They didn’t believe that Lin Xun was worthy of his current reputation at all.

Xie Yutang, who leaked the information, couldn’t help from feeling good as he watched the situation being reversed.

He said to himself with a grin, “Lin Xun, Lin Xun, don’t blame me, it’s your fault for dancing around too happily. An undeserved name is ultimately undeserved, so I just told the truth to wake the world up to see what your true face is!”

Xie Yutang believed that he had done nothing wrong. Even if Lin Xun hated him, he had nothing to fear!

However, Bai Fengliu was the most irritated and upset. He only gained the glory and status he had been enjoying from spreading the news about Lin Xun. Deep down in his heart, he treated Lin Xun as a huge treasure trove where he could dig up news from.

How would he be happy that other people were refuting the news he found?

As soon as I said that Demon God Lin and the mysterious woman are connected, someone refuted it right away. What’s the difference between that and slapping me in the face?

Bai Fengliu fumed with rage. Soon, he started to release statements to counterattack, “Haha, I really don’t know why a successor of the Feather Sword Sect can represent the entire Feather Sword Sect to slander and attack a peerless genius of the younger generation!”

“If you have the guts, then why don’t we make a bet? If Demon God Lin has nothing to do with that mysterious woman, then I will give my head to you and apologize to the world. But if I am right, then would you dare to take off your own head as an apology?”

Boom!

The West Infinity World was wild with commotion once again. The bet was too exciting and the situation was going to change again.

Meanwhile, Xie Yutang almost coughed up blood from anger. He was about to respond when Zhuo Kuanglan stopped him.

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

“Junior Brother Xie, whether the news is true or not, what does it have to do with us?” Zhuo Kuanglan might have spoken calmly, but his tone seemed to allow no questioning.

Xie Yutang’s expression altered for a long time before he finally gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. When the truth comes out, the world will know who is right and who is wrong!

However, Bai Fengliu treated Xie Yutang’s silence as admitting defeat. Feeling complacent, he issued another message. “Young man, you shouldn’t try to create some big news. Once something goes wrong, won’t it just be a slap in your face?”

Xie Yutang’s face turned livid. How dare that old man from the Windspeaker Clan say that to me?! Does he have a death wish?!

In short, all of this proved that the disturbance was too great and affected the entire West Infinity World.

Of course, it also drew remarks from some extremely powerful voices. For example, a renowned genius of the younger generation in the West Infinity World arrogantly said, “When did the world become like this? How could anyone call themselves a Demon God? Tell the so-called Demon God Lin to come to participate in the Dao Lantern Festival in Cangwu Mountain if he has guts! I, Zhongli Wuji, will be the first to come forward to give him a beating!”

This set off another monstrous wave. Zhongli Wuji was a well-known demon-king-like figure in the younger generation of the West Infinity World.

Not long after that, another maiden said calmly, “Are there no other geniuses in the world? How did that guy become famous? If Lin Xun dares to appear on Cangwu Mountain, I will make him apologize to the public and admit that he doesn’t deserve his fame!”

The remark stunned many people.

This was because the maiden who made the remark was from the Blue Luan Clan, one of the top clans of the West Infinity World. She was Qing Lian’er, a saintess of her generation.

Zhongli Wuji first released the arrogant statement and then it was followed by Qing Lian’er calm remark. It immediately drew the attention of the world and even alarmed some ancient sects because they realized that an earthshaking battle would highly likely break out at the Dao Lantern Festival.

However, would Demon God Lin have the guts to travel to Cangwu Mountain to participate in the Dao Lantern Festival after hearing those criticisms about himself?

……

While the outside world was in a turbulent state, Lin Xun knew nothing about it.

He was challenging the sixth level of the Omega Secret Realm.

After the mysterious woman left the Omega Secret Realm, he went ahead with the challenge.

The sixth level of the Great Azure Cloud Path was called Spirit Control. It was called a challenge, but it was more a test and tempering for a cultivator’s primordial spirit.

As soon as the challenge began, demonic phantoms surfaced in his mind-sea and started to attack his primordial spirit.

Although those phantoms were intangible, they had grasped terrifying spirit-attacking arts and were able to evolve into terrifying phenomena such as lightning, windstorm, underground fire, and mysterious water.

Lin Xun activated the Little Divine Meditation Art, and the primordial spirit erupted in a blaze of light, like the sun shining in the sapphire sky. Nothing in the world seemed able to get near the brilliant bright light.

The battle unexpectedly helped Lin Xun strengthen his primordial spirit as it went on.

Before long, the demonic phantoms evolved into magical powers such as gusts of wind, streams of light and heavenly flowers, launching another round of attack.

Lin Xun finally felt the pressure. His primordial spirit quivered violently, hovering between the state of life and death as if it would collapse at any moment and as if it would transform at any moment. It was a mysterious yet extremely dangerous state.

In the end, the demonic phantoms transformed once again, turning into chains entwined with tribulation power, intending to imprison and get rid of Lin Xun.

This was undoubtedly the most terrifying attack of them all!

All Lin Xun could do at that moment was to follow his heart and activate the Little Divine Meditation Art to its full majesty.

His primordial spirit occasionally transformed into orbiting stars and shone as bright as a chessboard of stars in the universe, displaying the mysterious cycle of stars.

From time to time, a full moon hung in the clear sky, emitting wondrous silvery light and showing the changing phases of the moon.

Occasionally, it transformed into a tremendous sun and released endless rays of light!

In the end, the three wonderful visions of the Star Cycle, Moon Phases and Sun Illumination merged into one to create a grand spectacle of the sun and the moon rising into the sky, surrounded by ten thousand stars in the Mind-Sea.

It was then that the primordial spirit started to transform, like an eggshell cracking, and like the primordial chaos starting the creation of the universe. It transformed into thousands of magnificent streaks of light and then gathered together little by little…

In the end, it took the shape of a little man only one inch tall. Its hazy face gradually became clear and its black eyes glimmered. His handsome face and beautiful features were a perfect likeness to Lin Xun.

The little person sat cross-legged in the mind-sea, looking ethereal and majestic. The stars orbiting around him and the moon and sun illuminating him from a height provided a mysterious backdrop, making him seem like a master of the world.

The demonic phantoms had dissipated and vanished without a trace.

Lin Xun’s grasp of the Little Divine Meditation Art reached the level of perfection, and his primordial spirit underwent the ultimate transformation into a divine spirit!

The divine spirit was the soul of the primordial spirit.

In the secular world, the divine spirits worshiped by ordinary people were actually great cultivators who had cultivated the soul of the primordial spirit!

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators were able to maneuver in the sky, navigate through the grounds, and manipulate wind and lighting, so they were no different from the gods in legends.

Shua!

In the Omega Secret Realm, Lin Xun opened his eyes. At the same time, in his mind-sea, the divine spirit, which was only around an inch tall, also opened its eyes.

The most indescribably marvelous feeling rushed up from the bottom of Lin Xun’s heart. He realized that he had completed a unique transformation and upgrade through this challenge.
