In spite of the fact that Lin Jiao and Lin Xuan were both born from the same soul, their personalities were clearly different.
Apparently, Lin Jiao's character was evil in nature and he desired to rule the Lingxuan continent while Lin Xuan was on the righteous path and didn't harbor such desires.
So at this moment, watching Lin Jiao trick Lin Xuan to join him in dominating the Lingxuan continent, this thought immediately crossed everyone's minds, "Lin Xuan cannot be misled!".
...
(At the Light Beam of Resurrection)
Xia Bing looked dazed.
She has always been curious about Lin Xuan, her Lord, who was clearly kind-hearted and wasn't interested in power.
Surprisingly enough, his thoughts remained fixed on becoming the Supreme Being of the human race.
It wasn't until now that she understood why Lin Xuan acted that way.
Bai Qingque stood beside Xia Bing with a proud expression on her face.
Lin Jiao's appearance within the light beam of resurrection reminded Bai Qingque of her domineering Lord. No matter how the situation was, Lin Jiao's ambitions had not changed.
...
(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)
Naturally, Lin Xuan didn't agree with many of Lin Jiao's suggestions.
Lin Jiao, however, persuaded him.
Following a brief discussion, the two separated.
After Lin Jiao returned to his territory, he began gathering all demon cultivators under him by more aggressive means.
It was during Lin Jiao's reign that the forces and territory expanded rapidly.
In contrast to Lin Jiao, Lin Xuan's method was smoother.
After he returned to the area where human cultivators resided, he didn't heed Lin Jiao's words. Instead, he built his own standing by using the coolest methods possible.
Moreover, he took the identity of a normal cultivator and traveled to the territory where human cultivators resided. While persuading others to stop fighting, he taught them how to cultivate.
His cultivation progress was impressive in addition to being pure and virtuous.
In just a few years, he made a name for himself among human cultivators.
On this day, Lin Xuan taught a group of youngsters how to cultivate.
Above their heads, a Saint Realm cultivator suddenly tore open a spatial rift and walked out of it.
"Your Excellency is fellow Daoist Lin Xuan, right?"
As he gazed at Lin Xuan, this Saint Realm expert inquired curiously.
Facing a Saint, Lin Xuan immediately got up and sent those small children away before nodding his head.
"That's right. I'm Lin Xuan. Who might this Excellency be?"
The young man smiled and said, "I'm Zhuo Hang of the Saint Palace. This time I want to invite you to attend the Saint Palace to participate in the selection of the new emperor."
The Saint Palace!
Lin Xuan appeared solemn when he heard this name.
Since he had come to the human cultivator settlement many years before, he naturally heard of the Saint Palace.
The Saint Palace was founded by many Saint realm experts under the Heavenly Emperor back then.
These Saint Realm powerhouses had also played a part in sealing the Traces of Heaven and were the key to assisting the Lingxuan Continent to survive the catastrophe.
Because of these merits, the Saint Palace had high status and prestige in the hearts of all human cultivators.
Of course, according to Lin Xuan's observation, with the increasing number of strong people among the human cultivators over the years, some people have gradually stopped taking the Saint Palace seriously.
...
Lin Xuan's mind was filled with many thoughts about the Saint Palace at this moment.
He asked with some suspicion, "Hasn't the Heavenly Emperor been unelected for many years? Why is there suddenly a need to elect the next Heavenly Emperor?"
"That is what Saint Realm cultivators are for. All Saint Realm human cultivators must take part," Zhuo Hang said, shaking his head.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan finally stopped hesitating and nodded, "Okay, let's go to the Saint Palace."
As in the past, the Saint Palace was situated near a volcanic furnace.
Upon arrival, Lin Xuan and Zhuo Hang found quite a few Saint Realm cultivators gathered.
There was even a cultivator in the later stages of the Saint Realm among the cultivators.
Lin Xuan was inferior to them.
After bringing Lin Xuan to Saint Palace, Zhuo Hang instructed him a few words before turning around and walking towards the interior.
Eventually, he made his way into the large hall.
In this large hall, several elderly men with profound wisdom stood quietly.
At this moment, the elderly men stood before the giant tomb of Song Kang, the fifth-generation Heavenly Emperor.
...
In the midst of these several tombs, there was a very special tomb that belonged to Lin Shu, the Glory Sect's ancestor.
Lin Zhengyang and Qin Xiaowan's tombs were placed next to Lin Shu's.
...
(Outside the Light Beam of Resurrection)
There were figures of elderly men inside these tombs that everyone knew.
Soon, everyone's expressions turned solemn.
It was because they knew these few men were the only ones who sacrificed their lives to seal the Traces of Heaven back then.
And behind them, there were also tombs of many cultivators who lost their lives in the battle to seal the Traces of Heaven.
These cultivators died trying to restore the Lingxuan continent's glory.
They were all immortals, but now they were ice-cold tombs.
...
(At the Light beam of Resurrection)
At this moment, Ling Baiyu's eyes widened and she took two more steps toward the light beam of resurrection.
Lin Shu and the others' tombs appeared within the light beam of resurrection.
Staring at these figures, Ling Baiyu felt her emotions spiral out of control.
"Master Zhao, Elder Qin ... how did you all become like this, as well as Uncle Lin and Aunt Qin?" Ling Baiyu's eyes filled with tears.
Before the spiritual Qi on the Lingxuan Continent was depleted, they were all Immortal Realm existences.
In theory, they should all be able to regain their Immortal Realm cultivation base following the restoration of the Spiritual Qi of the Lingxuan Continent.
However, now things were different.
Looking at these elderly figures, and those cold tombs, Ling Baiyu's eyes almost overflowed with tears.
She could also clearly recognize these elders within the light beam of resurrection who had taught her so much. Their Qi was already weakened and their lives were about to end.
...
Under Ling Baiyu's and the others' nervous eyes, the images within the Light beam of Resurrection changed.
...
(Within the Light beam of Resurrection)
Those elders stared at the tomb in front of them for a moment, before sighing softly: "All of you elder brothers and sisters, you guys, wait for a moment, we'll come to you soon."
Back then, all of these elders participated in the battle to seal the Traces of Heaven.
They fought to death twice in a row and were all severely injured.
Even when the Spiritual Qi recovered later, they couldn't recover.
Especially Lin Zhengyang and Qin Xiaowan.
After Lin Shu's fall, both their hearts were broken, and soon they fell one after another.
Their memories of that year seem a lifetime old.
"All the Saints, it's your turn to step forward." Zhuo Hang stood behind these elders and bowed respectfully.
