Chapter 825 Battle and Bloodline

Night falls.

Lin Xuan soon arrived at the sect master's hall of the Tianshuo Immortal Sect.

Sect Master Yang Shuo sat with his eyes closed in front of the hall, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"It's not surprising that a friend comes from afar."

Yang Shuo stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was somewhat suspicious upon hearing this. These words seemed to be a famous saying from his previous life's world. Could they also exist in the Immortal Realm?

Lin Xuan took a step and arrived in front of Yang Shuo in an instant.

"My name is Lin Xuan. I greet Sect Leader Yang."

Yang Shuo chuckled: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin to be a spatial expert, and with such high attainments in space."

"It's just the surface. It seems that Sect Leader Yang was waiting for me all this time."

Lin Xuan looked at Yang Shuo and said with a smile.

“That’s right, I’ve been waiting here specifically for you, fellow Daoist.” Yang Shuo readily admitted, “Fellow Daoist, please come in.”

Yang Shuo treated Lin Xuan as an equal. Although Lin Xuan's cultivation level was lower, Yang Shuo always aimed to befriend such a powerful figure.

Lin Xuan and Yang Shuo entered the main hall, where there were two long tables with fine wine and delicacies, and a dozen beautiful maids lined up on either side.

"What? Sect Leader Yang, you're so certain I'd come here today?"

Lin Xuan smiled and looked at Yang Shuo, somewhat surprised that Yang Shuo had made preparations in advance.

Yang Shuo smiled confidently and gestured for him to proceed.

"I saw you today, fellow Daoist. You are surrounded by purple aura, truly a person of great fortune. And since you came to my Tianshuo Immortal Sect in such a hurry, there must be something urgent that you need our help with."

Yang Shuo personally poured wine for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan looked at Yang Shuo with amusement.

Although he was the sect leader of the Tianshuo Immortal Sect, Yang Shuo was not arrogant at all. On the contrary, he was very humble and always treated people with the utmost courtesy.

Lin Xuan was somewhat impressed by this sect leader who was at the Golden Immortal realm.

"I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Lin to my Tianshuo Immortal Sect, and how I can help?"

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Shuo asked the first question.

"It's like this, we want to go to the Haori Immortal Realm, but it seems that only the Tianshuo Immortal Sect has this spatial wormhole, so I would like to borrow your sect's wormhole to go to the Tianhuo Immortal Realm."

Yang Shuo's expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he had already considered this point.

"Alas, to be honest, our Tianshuo Immortal Sect's spatial wormhole leading to the Heavenly Fire Immortal Domain has actually had some problems for some time now."

Yang Shuo put down his wine glass, let out a long sigh, and his eyes were filled with helplessness.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the problems always stemmed from spatial wormholes, and he was the one who encountered them all.

"I'm sure you've heard about the history of our Tianshuo Immortal Sect. Right now, the Tianshuo Immortal Sect has three wormholes, but only one of them can reach other immortal realms of the same level. Unfortunately, that wormhole is also experiencing some problems now."

Yang Shuo's tone was full of helplessness.

Lin Xuan was also helpless. What kind of situation was this? Without wormholes, was this all there was to it?

"But this wormhole can be repaired, and there are ways to repair it."

coming!

Lin Xuan smiled as he looked at Yang Shuo, realizing that Yang Shuo had finally revealed his true intentions.

"It seems I can be of some help to your clan."

"Haha, I just love dealing with smart people like Fellow Daoist Lin."

Yang Shuo smiled and stood up, walking to Lin Xuan's side.

"Fellow Daoist Lin speaks frankly, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, our Tianshuo Immortal Sect will have a challenge in three days. The opponent is the Tianhuo Immortal Domain, and the prize is a space stone. With this space stone, we can completely stabilize this space wormhole."

Yang Shuo's words made Lin Xuan fall into deep thought.

This statement is quite clear: they hope that I can help Tianshuo Immortal Sect in the battle.

"How exactly is the challenge being conducted? And who are the people being challenged?"

Lin Xuan did not immediately agree; he still needed to see the terms.

"In this final duel, our Tianshuo Immortal Sect and the Tianhuo Immortal Sect have agreed to a five-match battle: one against the Golden Immortal Realm, one against the Heavenly Immortal Realm, one against the Earthly Immortal Realm, one against the Profound Immortal Realm, and one against the True Immortal Realm. It will be a best-of-five series, and the winner will receive the Space Stone."

"We are bound to lose in the Golden Immortal Realm, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the overall strength of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect is above ours. Now we can only talk about whether we can prepare for the other four realms."

"I was quite surprised to meet Fellow Daoist Lin today. Although your cultivation level doesn't seem to have reached the Golden Immortal realm, your aura is unfathomable to me. I dare to guess that Fellow Daoist Lin's true combat strength is very strong, and terrifyingly so."

Yang Shuo was very straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

Lin Xuan chuckled, "That's understandable."

It's very difficult to hide one's cultivation level, especially since Lin Xuan didn't intentionally hide his cultivation level from the beginning.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Lin, as long as you help me win a battle, then regardless of whether we win or lose this duel, our Tianshuo Immortal Sect will definitely repay you with generous gifts!"

Yang Shuo clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and bowed to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan quickly helped Yang Shuo up.

"Alright, Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect, is that so? In that case, I can help you with a battle, but can you send my people to this Earth Immortal Realm?"

Lin Xuan watched as Yang Shuo added a condition.

"Hmm?" Yang Shuo looked at Lin Xuan with some surprise.

"Hehe, three days from now, before our duel, let's test our strength and see if yours or mine is stronger, how about it?"

Lin Xuan smiled at Yang Shuo, his eyes full of confidence.

Yang Shuo took a deep breath: "Of course, no problem. I would be happy if Fellow Daoist Lin found someone better than us."

"Hehe, don't worry, we all have a common goal: to defeat the Heavenly Fire Sect and obtain the Space Stone. You need to stabilize your Space Wormhole, while I need to use your Space Wormhole to go to the Heavenly Fire Immortal Realm."

Lin Xuan paused for a moment as he spoke, and Yang Shuo was also slightly taken aback.

If Lin Xuan helps Tianshuo Immortal Sect defeat Tianhuo Immortal Sect, will Tianhuo Immortal Sect still lend Lin Xuan the space wormhole?

"This seems to be a dead end."

Yang Shuo shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Forget it, let's talk about it then."

Lin Xuan also felt some pain and waved his hand.

Since he had already agreed to Tianshuo Immortal Sect's request, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't go back on his word. However, offending Tianhuo Immortal Sect was a matter for another time.

At worst, after going to the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect, one can transfer to another major immortal realm before going to the Hao Ri Immortal Realm, although the process will be more difficult.

After talking for half an hour, Lin Xuan got up and left.

Yang Shuo watched Lin Xuan's departing figure, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Roger, I need you to reach the Ninth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm within two days."

Lin Xuan looked at Roger and said with a serious expression.

Roger was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Lin Xuan.

Two days, two tribulations?

"Don't worry, if I can say that, it means I have the method."

Lin Xuan smiled and patted Roger on the shoulder.

Lin Xuan is a realm lord and possesses many treasures. He has ways to improve Roger, especially since Roger was already at that level during his peak.

Three days later.

The people from the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect arrived as scheduled.

“Yang Shuo, you were the first to discover this space stone, so it should rightfully be yours. However, the space stone is also very important to our Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect, so we have no choice but to fight this battle.”

The person from the Heavenly Fire Sect standing at the head of the table looked at Yang Shuo expressionlessly.

Yang Shuo simply smiled faintly.

“The treasures of nature belong to the virtuous and the powerful. I understand this principle very well. Therefore, in this competition, let’s stop when we’ve reached our limit. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. Let’s not let these things ruin our harmony.”

"Haha, Sect Master Yang, you are truly magnanimous. Very well, just because of what you said, in this battle, no matter what, our Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect will not target your Heavenly Shuo Immortal Sect in the slightest."

The Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect is going to fight the Heavenly Abundance Immortal Sect. Because of this, many forces have rushed to the Heavenly Abundance Immortal Sect, hoping to see a duel between the two sects.

The overall strength of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect is actually stronger than that of the Heavenly Abundance Immortal Sect, but this is, after all, the home ground of the Heavenly Abundance Immortal Sect. Everyone from the Heavenly Abundance Immortal Sect is also very nervous, since their rivals, the Xiao family and the Lu family, have also come to the scene.

The Sun and Moon Merchant Guild has also arrived.

The Sun and Moon Merchant Guild made quite a grand entrance, arriving at the Tianshuo Immortal Sect with a phoenix pulling a carriage.

The people from the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect looked at the Sun and Moon Merchant Guild with a hint of apprehension.

The power of the Sun and Moon Merchant Guild is indeed very strong, especially its headquarters, which is not even in the Hao Ri Immortal Domain. However, it is said that the strength of the Sun and Moon Merchant Guild headquarters is even stronger than that of the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom!

Even the royal family of Haori Immortal Kingdom has to give the Sun and Moon Merchant Guild some face.

"Sect Master, I have lost."

In the Tianshuo Immortal Sect camp, a Ninth Tribulation Earth Immortal walked up to Yang Shuo and sighed helplessly.

Yang Shuo was not surprised but delighted, and looked at Lin Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you keep surprising me. This time, we'll have to rely entirely on you."

Yang Shuo smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Lin Xuan, who returned the gesture.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the person leading the Heavenly Fire Sect Master is their sect master, named Yan Chu, a fourth-tribulation Golden Immortal, a very strong person."

Yang Shuo continued speaking.

Lin Xuan looked at Yan Chu, whose aura was very strong, and his mere presence was terrifying.

And this person's surname is also Yan.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but think of Yan Wuxi, and the Yan Clan in the Tianyuan Small World.

"It is said that Yan Chu of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect possesses a Xuan-level bloodline."

"A Xuan-level bloodline?"

Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, it's a Xuan-level bloodline, which means that his ancestors included a powerful Immortal Emperor."

Yang Shuo took a deep breath, feeling a sense of longing for the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Immortal Emperor is a realm that represents the pinnacle of the Immortal Path.

Mysterious-level bloodline.

Lin Xuan was somewhat unfamiliar with this word, but also somewhat familiar with it.

It seems that her son, Lin Fan, also has this special bloodline, but she doesn't know what level it is.

"The descendants of Immortal Kings are guaranteed to have Yellow-level bloodlines, with a chance of having Profound-level bloodlines. Immortal Emperors are guaranteed to have Profound-level bloodlines, with a chance of having Earth-level bloodlines. Immortal Venerables are guaranteed to have Earth-level bloodlines, with a chance of obtaining Heaven-level bloodlines. The descendants of Immortal Emperors are guaranteed to have Heaven-level bloodlines, with a very small chance of having Emperor-level bloodlines."

"That's roughly how it's divided. Of course, there are exceptions sometimes. There was a time when the bloodline of a descendant of a Celestial King mutated and became a Heavenly-level bloodline."

Yang Shuo's words were self-evident.

Lin Xuan thought of his first wife, Jun Mengyu, and realized that Lin Fan's bloodline was probably inherited from Jun Mengyu.

The fact that Jun Mengyu's bloodline can be passed down suggests that her family is likely very powerful.

Lin Xuan let out a long breath, wondering if Jun Mengyu still remembered him and their child after all these years.

"Who is this Yan Chu, and why does he possess a Xuan-level bloodline?"

Lin Xuan looked at Yang Shuo and asked casually.

The fear is that Yang Shuo has a powerful force behind him.

"He seems to be from the Heavenly Fire Immortal Kingdom of the Heavenly Fire Universe. I don't know why he came to our Haori Universe. Who knows the reason?"

Yang Shuo chuckled and shrugged.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. It was highly likely that he had lost power in the Heavenly Fire Immortal Kingdom and came to the Haori Universe to avoid disaster.

"The first match is a battle between cultivators at the True Immortal Realm."

"Sect Leader Yang, send someone."

Yan Chu, standing on the opposite side, spoke calmly.

Soon, the True Immortal Realm cultivators sent by the two sects stood on the battle platform.

Both were young and hot-tempered, so when they met on the ring, a confrontation was inevitable.

The two fought for hundreds of moves, but in the end, the one from Tianshuo Immortal Sect was the first to win.

The powerful figures of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect seemed to have anticipated this event, and simply watched in silence.

"Hehe, let's move on to the next match."

Yan Chu waved his hand, seemingly unfazed by the defeat in this first battle.

The second match began immediately, and the battle between Xuanxian realm experts was much more exciting, especially since both sides fielded experts at the peak of the Xuanxian realm.

However, this battle was quite surprising. The Xuanxian realm expert from the Tianhuo Immortal Sect defeated the Xuanxian realm expert from the Tianshuo Immortal Sect in less than a hundred moves.

"Next one."

As if in a hurry, Yan Chu immediately dispatched his elders who were at the Ninth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm.

"I am Yan Qu of the Heavenly Fire Sect. Who dares to challenge me?"

Yan Qu was engulfed in flames, exuding extreme domineering power.

Yang Shuo looked at Lin Xuan and Roger beside Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly to Roger.

Roger nodded, got up, and flew into the sky.

The power of the Earth Immortal realm was too great, so the battle platform was set up directly in the air to prevent the aftershocks of the battle between the two from affecting other weaker cultivators.

"Roger, please enlighten me."

Roger spoke calmly.

Yan Qu took a step forward, his figure resembling a fire overlord, and activated the Law of Heaven and Earth, condensing a huge fire giant that was ten thousand feet tall.

"Heavenly Fire Great Handprint".

The fire giant stretched out its enormous palm and slammed it down on Roger with incredible speed, imbued with the power of a locking law.

Roger chuckled. With Lin Xuan's help, he had broken through two tribulations a couple of days ago and reached the Ninth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm. It was a good time to try out his new moves.

"Overlord Dharma Form, open!"

Roger roared, and a domineering figure suddenly stood up, instantly shattering the Heavenly Fire Handprint!
