After returning to the Starry Sky Castle, Lin Yue was visited by several major powers of the Yulan Empire in less than a week's time. This included some of the great clans of the Yulan Empire, including Dixie's Leon clan.
Some came to befriend Lin Yue, and some came to propose marriage to him. Many of them were from the royal family, but Lin Yue rejected them decisively.
A month later, Lin Yue received a summons from the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire. He officially accepted the Yulan Empire's title and became a Duke. In the northwestern region of the Yulan Empire, a large piece of land near the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts became Lin Yue's territory. Within this territory, Lin Yue had the right to establish a duchy.
However, before Lin Yue could set off to take over this territory that belonged to him, a person's decision appeared, and Lin Yue had to take it seriously.
The protector of the Yulan Empire, the High Priest, a Deity.
Not long after he had been conferred the title in the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire, the High Priest had appeared, directly asking him if he was willing to become his disciple.
Her long silver hair flowed in the wind, and she wore a mask that glowed with a green light. She wore a moon-white robe, and she looked like an angel or an elf that did not belong to the human world. However, judging from her figure…she seemed rather thin. In a trance, she actually looked more like a woman. Lin Yue, who knew the truth, knew that the High Priest was a woman. Her name was Catherine, and she cultivated the Life Rule, one of the Four Great Rules.
As one of the most experienced Deities of the Lan continent, the pillar of the Yulan Empire, the High Priest, even Lin Yue felt his heart tremble in fear when facing him. Faced with the questions that the High Priest had raised, Lin Yue felt very conflicted.
To be able to become the High Priest's disciple was something that countless mages dreamed of, and to be valued by the High Priest, it undoubtedly showed his talent. For thousands of years, most of the people who had been accepted as disciples by the High Priest had already become Grand Magus Saints. This undoubtedly proved the High Priest's strength and foresight.
Even the Heavenly Sword Saint felt honored that Lin Yue was valued by the High Priest and wanted to take him as a disciple. Unfortunately, this was not an honor for Lin Yue.
He had far too many secrets on him, and he was already worried about the true ruler of the Yulan continent, Beirut, observing him. Now that a Deity High Priest had appeared, Lin Yue was caught in the middle, and he was in great pain.
As for the guidance of the High Priest and the temptation of becoming a Saint Magical Tutor, would Lin Yue need it?
The existence of the cheat allowed Lin Yue to have no obstacles on his path to the Sanctuary-realm. As for the guidance of the High Priest, the guidance of a Low-level Deity, and a Low-level Deity who cultivated the Edicts of Life, to be honest, Lin Yue really didn't think much of it.
The only good thing was that once Lin Yue became the disciple of the High Priest, his status would rise. Even the Emperor of the Yulan Empire would have to show him some respect, and the threat of the other factions would disappear.
Who would dare to touch the High Priest's disciple? Of course, the only exception was the O'Brien Empire.
However, as someone who was also guarded by a Deity, would the War God O'Brien care about a mere genius who hadn't even reached the Saint-level?
O'Brien was the same as the Yulan Empire. He had never paid any attention to the threats of other empires. This was the incomparably powerful confidence that came with having a Deity as a protector.
In the end, Lin Yue decided to take the High Priest as his master. However, he made a request, which was to cultivate on his own. The High Priest unexpectedly agreed.
As a result, Lin Yue's identity had undergone a drastic change. Now, he was no longer afraid of the schemes of other major forces. No one was willing to bear the wrath of a Divine level expert, nor could they bear it.
As Lin Yue's father, the Heavenly Sword Saint was also much more polite to Lin Yue. This made Lin Yue, who had always been bullied, feel much better.
Half a year later, Lin Yue became a magus of the eighth rank, once again causing a sensation throughout the entire Yulan continent. He once again became the number one magus in history. After spending a month to convert his magic power, Lin Yue embarked on the path of continuous improvement.
This time, his destination was Nifeng City.
Nifeng City was located in the Anarchic Lands. Even in the original novel, many years after Linley unified the Baruch Empire, the name of this city hadn't changed.
Lin Yue, who had changed his appearance and disguise, soon arrived at this chaotic area. After three days of inquiry and travel, he finally arrived at Nifeng City.
Nifeng City had a huge magicite crystal mine, but that wasn't the main point. What Lin Yue valued was the secret space hidden inside.
However, Lin Yue did not have the qualifications and ability to enter the secret space room yet. The Qi-Jin inside was not something he could resist now, but it did not prevent him from using the secret room to cultivate.
It was because Lin Yue had a piece of defensive equipment, a piece of defensive equipment refined by the High Priest. This piece of defensive equipment could withstand the attack of a Saint realm pinnacle. With this piece of equipment, Lin Yue would be qualified to enter the secret chamber to cultivate.
As for why the High Priest gave him this equipment, the High Priest's answer was that Lin Yue did not need his guidance, and this was considered compensation for him as a teacher.
Knowing that things were not that simple, Lin Yue decisively accepted the defensive treasure. With it, he would not be afraid of the attacks of the Saint Realm and would have the capital to save his life.
Lin Yue spent a whole month exploring the ore vein, digging it, and following the changes in the quality of the magicite gems. Finally, he found the door to the secret space chamber.
As he entered the door, a powerful force that was like a knife struck Lin Yue's body and cut him. However, just as the force was about to touch Lin Yue's body, a green translucent armor appeared and blocked the terrifying force.
Ignoring the energy that ordinary Saints couldn't resist, Lin Yue looked at the bubble-like miniature space. He was amazed when he saw the violent spatial turbulence outside the bubble, which carried a destructive aura.
"What a dense concentration of natural elements." Even though Lin Yue was mentally prepared, he was still intoxicated by the dense natural elements here.
Other than the light, lightning, water, and fire elements that Lin Yue had a high affinity with, he could feel the other elements such as darkness, earth, and wind. In addition, this space was filled with other surging energies. Lin Yue knew that these were the energies of the four Overgods.
After the initial shock, Lin Yue gradually calmed down. He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the elements of heaven and earth.
Time flew by, and it was now the end of January, year 10000 of the Yulan calendar.
In the distant northern region of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, at the border between the Holy Union and the O'Brien Empire, the capital of the Hess Kingdom, Hess City, was a place where people frequently came and went. Ever since the 'Day of Doom', the original Holy Union had fallen apart, and the majority of the region had become a paradise for magical beasts. Many people from the dukedoms and kingdoms had rushed to the O'Brien Empire, and the Hess Kingdom, which was close to the Holy Union and belonged to the O'Brien Empire, had become the first stop for these people. A large portion of the royal family and powerful people were gathered in the capital of the Hess Kingdom, Hess City.
With the influx of people, the prices of both housing and consumption were extremely high. There were very few people who could afford to stay in a hotel here, and even fewer people who could afford to stay in a courtyard.
"There's a demon fighting a deacon of the Radiant Church on Flame Street.”Suddenly, a piece of news spread through the bustling city of Hess. Xiangdao Street and Yan Street were adjacent to each other, so they received the news almost immediately.
The walls of a mansion on Flame Street had long since been broken. Six figures stood scattered, their bodies giving off white light. The light connected together to form a hexagram, and as the six people continued to close up, the hexagram began to shrink.
In the middle of the hexagram, a monster covered in black scales and a black Shadowmouse were trapped.
Finally, seeing that there was no way to retreat and that it was about to be surrounded by the hexagram, the scaled monster inside jumped up and instantly leaped dozens of meters away.
However, the six figures didn't intend to let the Shadowmouse escape. Four of them leaped up and surrounded the monster, while one of them jumped directly above the monster. The last one stayed on the ground, and the white light formed an octahedron, firmly sealing the monster and the Shadowmouse inside.
The monster was unwilling to be sealed inside and tried to break out several times. However, the white light that covered the surroundings seemed to have extremely powerful defense. Not only was the monster unable to break through, but it was also heavily injured by the few people's longswords.
Just as the monsters were feeling despair, a powerful wave of magical elements appeared in the sky. Soon, a thick black cloud with the power of Mount Tai appeared above them.
"Rumble!" Thunder rumbled.
"Boom!" Before the six deacons could understand what was going on, six purple lightning bolts descended from the sky and struck the six of them.
"Bang!" In the next second, the white light dissipated, and the six charred figures fell to the ground one after another after standing for a moment. There was only a trace of weak aura.
Ninth-Grade Lightning Spell, Thunder of Judgment!
Among all the elemental spells, the one with the fastest and fiercest overall attack power was the lightning spell, the grade-9 spell Thunder of Judgment. Without special defensive equipment, even a Sanctuary-realm powerhouse would not dare to take it head-on.
Although the six purple-robed Special Executors were all experts of the ninth rank, and the defensive power of the battle formation they formed was extremely strong, they were much weaker in the face of this kind of magic attack. This was especially so for this kind of lightning magic that had extremely penetrating and guiding properties. Their defensive power was somewhat insufficient.
Even if the six purple-robed Special Executors didn't die on the spot, they were only left with a single breath of life after forcefully withstanding the Lightning of Judgement's attack. They had no strength to fight at all.
The monster stared blankly for a moment, then together with the Shadowmouse, delivered a final blow to them, completely ending their lives.
"Linley, long time no see. I didn't think that you would one day be in such a sorry state.”A familiar voice rang out in Linley's ears, causing Linley's cold eyes to turn towards the newcomer.
"Michelle?" Linley's hoarse voice was filled with a hint of surprise.
