The Sovereign’s Ascension

That time, his face was black when he returned.”

Xin Yan and Xin Jue fell silent.
There were three more days in the test.
The foot of the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s mountain was lively and filled with newcomers.
The pavilion would only recruit newcomers once a year, so this could be considered a major event.

So people would gather around if nothing else was important.
At this moment, two teenagers stood side by side in a place covered in mist as a Dragon Blooded Horse followed behind them.
Their temperament had undergone quite a considerable change, especially Lin Yun.
His eyes were as bright as gems and a faint smile hung on his lips.

Now that he made a breakthrough into the Profound Martial Realm, he was like a butterfly that broke through its cocoon.
The Profound Martial Realm wasn’t just about refining his origin energy.
It was his evolution from a mortal.
Only by unlocking his profound channel could he connect the seven orifices.

His senses would be sharper and his limbs would also be more flexible.
Lin Yun underwent a greater transformation since he practiced the Thunderblitz Battle Physique.
It made him look even more ethereal.

Li Wuyou was still shocked when he thought of how Lin Yun made his breakthrough.
But the one who was more shocked was Lord Thirteen.
Lin Yun had devoured a third of the Yin energy in the Sword Burial Woods.
Lin Yun saw Lord Thirteen’s beard twitch from the lost amount.

Although they already exited the Firmament Realm, they still did not reach the Sword Firmament Pavilion.
According to Lord Thirteen, there was only one exit to the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s headquarters.
So Lord Thirteen could only send them back to the capital.

“Wuyou, it’s snowing.” Lin Yun stretched his hands out, catching onto a snowflake.
The snow looked pure and white.
“The snow in this capital is really gentle.”

Li Wuyou couldn’t help but sigh from his previous experience in the snow when he initially traveled to the capital.

“But the snow here is colder…” Lin Yun muttered and entered a grocery store together with Li Wuyou.
After choosing something, Lin Yun specifically stated that he wanted a long spear.

With the spear in his hand, Lin Yun’s expression turned cold.
When they came out of the grocery store, Li Wuyou nudged his lips, “Big Brother, look! It’s that baldy…”

Lin Yun raised his head and saw Windstream sitting down, raising his cup in their direction.
He was instantly speechless.
He was one of the titled nobles in the Heavenly Qin County.
Li Wuyou never expected that his voice would be heard by Windstream, so he gave the latter an awkward smile.

“Let’s go to him,” said Lin Yun as went to sit next to Windstream.

“I never expected that I would see you here.
What a coincidence.” Windstream was a famous figure, so it was odd that he would be drinking here.

“I’m waiting for someone,” explained Windstream.
He examined Lin Yun and a trace of shock filled his face.
They met two months ago and back then, Lin Yun was only in the fifth orifice of the Xiantian Realm.
However, today Lin Yun was at the Profound Martial Realm.

“Boss, steam this carp.” Li Wuyou took out a fish from the basket behind him and handed it over to the owner.

When Windstream looked at the carp, his eyes lit up, “The Snowdragon Carp?”

“That’s right.
But since you’re a monk, I believe that you won’t fight with us for the Snowdragon Carp, right?” Li Wuyou chuckled.

Windstream smiled and signaled for Lin Yun to look at his cup of wine.
When Li Wuyou saw that, his face turned black.
The Snowdragon Carp was something that he had gotten after risking his life.

“Windstream, this is some monkey wine that I’ve collected.
Why don’t you give it a try?” Lin Yun took out a jar of wine from his interspatial ring.

“Great!” Windstream took it and gave it a sip before he smiled.
Not long after, the cooked Snowdragon Carp was brought over.
In the middle of the snow, the three of them sat by the street drinking monkey wine and eating Snowdragon Carp.

While the three of them were chatting, footsteps began to ring out in the streets.
Eighteen people were carrying a jade palanquin.
A thousand people were creating a path, while three thousand followed behind.
It was a majestic formation.

Smacking his lips, Li Wuyou replied, “What a grand spectacle.”

Windstream had a trace of loneliness in his expression and replied, “That’s the Great Qin Empire’s Princess Flowerphoenix.”

Seeing his expression, Li Wuyou teased, “Don’t tell me that she was the one who shaved your hair?”

Windstream smiled, but didn’t answer.
Lin Yun knew that Princess Flowerphoenix was the person Windstream was waiting for.

“Mister Windstream, the princess invites you to the palanquin,” said a maid who had come over.

Windstream immediately had joy written on his face.
Nodding his head, he replied, “I’ll come over soon.”

“Don’t keep the princess waiting,” responded the maid before leaving.

Gulping down the wine, Windstream got up and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Li Wuyou smiled, “Windstream, you’re a famous figure in the capital, one of the eight titles in the Heavenly Qin County.
You drank the monkey wine and ate the Snowdragon Carp, but you want to leave like this?”

As he spoke, Li Wuyou was rubbing his thumb and index fingers together.
Beside him, Lin Yun nearly spat out the wine in his mouth.

Even Windstream was briefly stunned.
He had never encountered this situation before and replied, “You’re asking for something in exchange, right? Speak, what do you want?”

“My Big Brother knows a thing or two about the Dragon-Tiger Fist.
Why don’t you let my Big Brother take a look at the genuine Dragon-Tiger Fist…”

When Lin Yun heard that, he immediately stood up.
That was too big of a joke.
Even Windstream was teased by those words and placed a jade strip on the table, “I can’t give you the genuine Dragon-Tiger Fist.
However,I can let your big brother take a look at the Sky Breaking Seal.”

Looking at Windstream leaving, Lin Yun held onto the jade strip with the Sky Breaking Seal recorded in it.
He felt that he was dreaming.
This jade strip was precious and Lin Yun didn’t expect Windstream to give it to him.

Taking the jade strip, Lin Yun spoke out, “Let’s go.”

“Where are we going?” asked Li Wuyou.

“The Sword Firmament Pavilion,” responded Lin Yun.

Li Wuyou’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Wang Ning and those bastards nearly killed us in the Sword Burial Woods.
It’s time for us to give them a surprise.”
