Chapter 1353: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Yellow-Haired Girl

The Great Emperor's Emissary was very fast, heading straight for Wang Lin. In a moment, he drew near, a respectful expression on his face. Ten feet away, he cupped his fist towards Wang Lin, bowed, and chuckled, “Your subordinate greets Young Emperor!”

Not only did he rush over, but behind him, all the Cultivators who had emerged from the passage also hurried forward. They stopped ten feet from Wang Lin, their expressions respectful, cupping their fists and saying in unison, “Greetings, Young Emperor!”

The entire starry sky suddenly fell silent. The hundreds of clans and tens of thousands of Cultivators here all changed their expressions dramatically, staring blankly at Wang Lin and his group, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief!

The existence of a Young Emperor! This matter had been announced by the Falling Great Emperor months ago via Jade Slip, informing all clans, but without specifying who it was. Therefore, these Cultivators were seeing the true person for the first time.

“Young… Young Emperor?!” The middle-aged man of the Soul Serpent Clan immediately turned pale, his eyes filled with horror. His heart began to pound rapidly, thumping, thumping, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead as his throat went dry. His gaze towards Wang Lin was now blank.

And the Thirteenth Elder of the Life-Falling Society, his expression changed even more drastically. He subconsciously retreated a few steps, his mind shaking, and fear appeared in his eyes. He never expected his guess to be true!

“When I saw the Dragon Armor Clan, I should have realized that the Ninth Elder was dismissed by the Great Emperor precisely because he offended this person! I… I actually tried to establish my authority using this person…”

The Clan Chief of the River Clan trembled in his heart, licking his dry lips, feeling flustered and confused for a moment.

“I apologize for making Young Emperor wait. It is truly because the opening of the passage through the Primordial Magnetic Tear requires a certain amount of time, hence the delay,” the Great Emperor's Emissary repeatedly cupped his fists, respectfully explaining.

Upon hearing his words, the tens of thousands of Cultivators around finally reacted. The time for the actual opening of the passage had not yet arrived. According to past timings, they should have waited several more hours.

“To open the passage in advance, this Young Emperor…”

“Our Land of Falling only has two Young Emperors, and now a third has appeared!”

“This third Young Emperor is clearly more valued by the Great Emperor than the previous two. Otherwise, the passage would not have been opened early for his arrival. Such a thing has never happened before!”

“Hehe, that Thirteenth Elder truly has no sense, provoking the Young Emperor. Let's see how he resolves this!”

“And that Grand Elder of the Soul Serpent Clan, he's probably in trouble too.”

The two sentences from the Great Emperor's Emissary had already stirred up a huge commotion in the hearts of these tens of thousands of Cultivators. Wang Lin's expression was calm as he nodded slightly to the Cultivators who were bowing before him.

“Young Emperor, please enter the Great Emperor Star!” The Great Emperor's Emissary quickly retreated several steps to the side, respectfully making way.

Wang Lin walked forward steadily, under the gaze of countless eyes, accompanied by the Great Emperor's Emissary, towards the passage opened within the mist of the Primordial Magnetic Tear.

Seeing this scene, the Thirteenth Elder breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of luck, believing that Wang Lin was not someone who held grudges and would not make things difficult for him.

After all, he was an Elder of the Life-Falling Society, and even if the other party was a Young Emperor, he would still have to show him some respect, and perhaps even try to win him over.

“This person is kind-hearted. Although he is a Young Emperor, he is also someone who can be bullied…” Just as he was feeling fortunate, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Wang Lin had only walked a few steps when he suddenly paused, turned, and looked at the middle-aged man from the Soul Serpent Clan among the surrounding Cultivators.

His gaze was icy. The moment it fell on the middle-aged man, the man immediately trembled, and more sweat seeped out. He felt as if the other party's gaze was tangible, transforming into sharp swords that instantly pierced through his mind, filling his entire body with coldness.

The Great Emperor's Emissary by Wang Lin's side also stopped, looking puzzled, and turned to look at the middle-aged man of the Soul Serpent Clan, his expression immediately turning grim.

“Take this man down!” The Great Emperor's Emissary's voice was cold. As he spoke, a person beside him flickered and shot towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man of the Soul Serpent Clan gave a tragic laugh, his eyes filled with despair. The members of the Soul Serpent Clan behind him changed their expressions drastically, showing fear.

“The crime is not punishable by death, but the Soul Serpent Clan's Elder selection is canceled!” Wang Lin spoke calmly, his voice faint, yet it clearly entered the ears of all the surrounding Cultivators.

The Cultivator who was rushing towards the middle-aged man paused, then without hesitation, retreated and returned behind Wang Lin.

The middle-aged man of the Soul Serpent Clan turned pale. Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, his body trembled again, and his despair deepened. These words were countless times more severe than killing him.

One must know that even if he died, it would only be his own affair. But now, although he had saved his life, he had become a sinner to his entire clan. With a bitter smile, the middle-aged man cupped his fist towards Wang Lin and respectfully said, “Thank you, Young Emperor, for your grace.”

Wang Lin ignored this person and instead turned his gaze to the Clan Chief of the River Clan, the Thirteenth Elder of the Life-Falling Society.

The Thirteenth Elder's heart sank, and his face turned ashen.

“Remove his title as Elder of the Life-Falling Society, and send him to the Dark Scorpion Cultivation Planet to kneel for a hundred years!” Wang Lin pointed at the Thirteenth Elder with his right hand and slowly spoke to the Great Emperor's Emissary beside him.

The Great Emperor's Emissary hesitated for a moment, but seeing the fleeting coldness in Wang Lin's eyes, he nodded.

“River Clan, cancel the Life-Falling Society Elder selection!” After Wang Lin finished speaking, he looked at the nearby Clan Chief of the Cloud Escape Clan and slowly said, “Sever one arm, and do not repeat this offense!”

The Clan Chief of the Cloud Escape Clan was stunned, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He knew Wang Lin's power, which was why he had intentionally glanced at Wang Lin and pointed the finger at him, letting others provoke him. He never expected this subtle maneuver to be seen through by Wang Lin.

Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth, raised his right hand, forming his fingers into a sword, and without hesitation, pointed at his left shoulder. With a bang, his left arm immediately went limp, its Meridians completely severed.

“Thank you, Young Emperor, for your grace. This Junior knows his mistake,” the Clan Chief of the Cloud Escape Clan said in a low voice, his face pale.

With a calm expression, Wang Lin turned and walked towards the passage in the mist formed by the Primordial Magnetic Tear.

The surroundings became even quieter. The gazes of tens of thousands of Cultivators converged on Wang Lin, their minds shaken, filled with awe. However, some people were disdainful of Wang Lin's words and actions, thinking that Wang Lin was merely putting on a show of power.

“Hmph, if this person wasn't a Young Emperor, how could he be so arrogant!”

“He's not the only Young Emperor. This time, he has come to the Great Emperor Star to participate in the Young Emperor Trial. Only after succeeding can he become a true Young Emperor!”

“That's right, the Young Emperor Trial is extremely difficult. Over the years, among those qualified to participate, even if not personally appointed by the Great Emperor, not a single one has succeeded in the trial. Even if this person was personally appointed by the Great Emperor, he will likely find it very difficult to pass!”

“The Young Emperor's responsibilities are immense. They can even represent the Great Emperor in governing all Cultivators in the entire Land of Falling. Even the Grand Council of the Primordial Stars would be very polite to a Young Emperor.”

The Great Emperor's Emissary followed behind Wang Lin, gradually approaching the passage. The moment he stepped in, Wang Lin immediately felt waves of tearing force filling the surroundings of the passage. Furthermore, within that tearing force, there were bursts of Primordial Magnetic pull, causing his vital energy to slightly disperse, as if it was about to be sucked out of his body.

However, the suction force within the passage was not too strong. If it were in the Primordial Magnetic Tear outside the passage, it would be extremely terrifying. Spreading out his Divine Sense and observing briefly, Wang Lin stepped forward.

But just as Wang Lin walked more than ten feet, his expression suddenly changed. He turned to look into the distance, where an earth-shattering roar instantly thundered from afar.

This roar was incredibly startling, immediately breaking the silence outside the Great Emperor Star and attracting everyone's attention. Even the Great Emperor's Emissary's expression changed.

In the distant starry sky, a colossal octagonal disc rumbled closer. The disc was several hundred feet in size, emitting dazzling rays of light, and numerous runes and marks flickered upon it, adding to its Aura.

The disc drew closer and closer, practically arriving at the Great Emperor Star in the blink of an eye. Upon it stood two people!

The person in front was a woman with long, flowing hair. Her dark hair fluttered, and her appearance was exceptionally beautiful. Her eyes, like moonlight, revealed a peculiar glow that captivated all Cultivators.

Standing there, she was like a celestial maiden, her clothes gently swaying, dancing with her flowing hair.

Beside her stood a middle-aged man. His expression was grim, and his figure was like a mountain. A terrifying pressure naturally permeated the area. This pressure was like a storm, and as it spread, all the Cultivators changed their expressions and retreated in unison.

Furthermore, outside the man's body, circles of blurry smoke threads encircled him. These smoke threads contained twisted, illusory faces, emitting silent, mournful wails.

There were countless such illusory faces, numbering in the millions.

“Power of Incense! A Third Step Grand Exalt!!!” Some Cultivators immediately recognized what these smoke threads were, and their expressions instantly changed drastically.

“Little sister Yun Luo, on behalf of the Grand Council, greets the Great Emperor. Invited to observe the Elder ceremony of the Life-Falling Society, I greet all Fellow Daoists of the Land of Falling.” The long-haired woman's voice was gentle, a soft smile on her face as she spoke softly, her eyes like moonlight.

“Si Mozi, greetings to the Great Emperor!” The middle-aged man beside the woman had a cold expression, his gaze fixed on the Great Emperor Star, but in an instant, it straightened, and killing intent burst forth!

He saw Wang Lin in the passage outside the Great Emperor Star!

Wang Lin also saw Si Mozi!

Their gazes, separated by not much distance, clashed with a roar, like two extremely sharp Sword Lights capable of destroying heaven and earth!

“Little bastard!!” Si Mozi's eyes showed ferocity, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with thick Evil Qi.

“A defeated opponent! Only capable of verbal sparring, unworthy of being a Grand Exalt!” Wang Lin's expression was calm as he slowly spoke.

“You! Do you dare to fight me?!” Si Mozi's greatest resentment was the killing of his Clone. Now that Wang Lin brought it up, his killing intent surged to the heavens.

Wang Lin laughed loudly upon hearing this, a hint of mockery in his eyes as he said, “Do you dare to enter this Primordial Magnetic Tear mist, destroy your cultivation to the fifth heavenly decay, and fight me?!”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar!

Si Mozi's words faltered, unable to speak, but his expression turned extremely grim!

He dared not!

“This Fellow Daoist's words are very sharp, but I wonder what your esteemed name is. Would Yun Luo be so kind as to know?” The long-haired woman, with a smile on her face and eyes like moonlight, looked at Wang Lin. However, in Wang Lin's opinion, her smile was full of pretense, making him feel disgusted.

“The Grand Supervisor of the Grand Council, regardless of cultivation, has been passed down through generations since ancient times. You, a yellow-haired girl who is still wet behind the ears, having cultivated for perhaps less than a thousand years, dare to address me as Fellow Daoist as an equal? No respect for Elders! Is this how your Master taught you to inquire about a Senior's name?!” Wang Lin's expression was cold, his words even colder.

I recommend Geng Xin Dàdà's new work, Cao Thief. Everyone says it's very good, and I've collected it too.
