Chapter 597: Chapter 593: Breaking Lin Wu’s Records in a Row

Lin Hao’s words and expression convinced Lian Chixiao that he was telling the truth.

But as the Young Master of the Jinglian Saint Institute, Lian Chixiao would never take Lin Hao at his word.

Upon hearing this, a corner of Lian Chixiao’s mouth curled up. "That’s a simple request. I can arrange that for you."

"You know him well?" Lin Hao asked in return, showing not a single shred of panic at Lian Chixiao’s confidence.

Lian Chixiao shook his head. "Not at all. I’ve never even met him. But his name is already legendary throughout the Divinity Realm. Here in the Second Layer alone, he’s set countless records. I’d wager even the upper realms are aware of his existence."

"He has records here in the Second Layer too? What are they? I’ll go break them!" Lin Hao sounded furious, like a powder keg with a lit fuse.

"There’s a stele over there. You can go see for yourself." Lian Chixiao pointed in that direction.

WHOOSH!

Lin Hao’s figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared in that direction.

"Young Master, are you really going to have Lin Wu appear in the Divinity Realm?" the white-haired elder asked Lian Chixiao.

Lian Chixiao nodded. "That’s right. I’ve been wanting to meet him for a long time myself. Go back immediately and spread the news. I have no doubt he’ll show up."

"Young Master," the middle-aged man who had delivered the Aurora Ruler interjected, "Lin Wu cultivates at the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion. And right now, their elder, Guan Zhengyang, is visiting our Saint Institute."

"Excellent. Go and make the preparations," Lian Chixiao said, his eyes fixed on the direction Lin Hao had disappeared, a curious glint in their depths. "I’m eager to see for myself just how extraordinary this genius from the lower realms truly is."

"Yes, sir." One of them answered, and then they all departed.

These people were all from the Jinglian Saint Institute, but none of them knew Lian Chixiao’s true cultivation level.

They dared to leave him alone because no one had ever tried to target Lian Chixiao.

It wasn’t because Lian Chixiao’s cultivation was high, but because the level he chose to display was simply too weak.

In the Second Layer of the Divinity Realm, Lian Chixiao might possess the cultivation of the Peak of the Elemental Realm, but in reality, his physical body only showed the superficial cultivation of the third or fourth stage of the Soul Gathering Realm.

On the Celestial Yang Continent, such a cultivation level, while not that of a peerless prodigy, would still qualify him as a genius.

But in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, his cultivation level was nothing but trash—utterly and completely useless.

’Lin Wu... they say he has the Harmony Dominator Body, a constitution that appears once in a blue moon. I’m dying to see what’s so special about him. I’ve always wanted to, but I never dared say it out loud for fear of raising suspicion. Thank goodness for you.’

Staring in the direction Lin Hao had gone, Lian Chixiao thought to himself.

In the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, despite his astonishing cultivation, he had never once revealed his true abilities to an outsider.

The Jinglian Saint Institute was always one to hide its true power.

After all, the Divine Demon Destruction Domain was home to a multitude of races and countless ancient families. Any one of them, picked at random, could have a terrifying background.

The Jinglian Saint Institute was renowned for refining Spiritual Artifacts. The very reason it had managed to secure a foothold in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain was that its Martial Artists generally possessed low cultivation levels.

In the Jinglian Saint Institute, no Martial Artist’s cultivation had ever reached the Nirvana Realm.

It was precisely because of this that the Jinglian Saint Institute was able to survive for so long.

This might seem counterintuitive, but the logic is actually quite simple when explained.

Upon reaching the Nirvana Realm, one undergoes a rebirth and can become a Saint!

Saints can see through all falsehoods. Even without mastering the Artifact Refining Skill, they could discern its deepest secrets.

Furthermore, it was an open secret on the Divine Demon Continent that the Jinglian Saint Institute’s Spiritual Artifacts were imbued with their unique imprints.

Clans without sufficient means to counteract this would never use Spiritual Artifacts from the Jinglian Saint Institute. Those who did dare to use them were absolutely certain they could control the artifacts.

But if the Jinglian Saint Institute were to produce a Saint, who could then leverage their unparalleled Artifact Refining Skill, the entire balance of power would be subverted.

The other powers would naturally never allow such a situation to occur.

Lian Chixiao was stunningly talented. He had long since entered the Spirit Transformation Realm. Never mind the Nirvana Realm, even the Heaven-Burning Realm was well within his reach, and he even had hopes of stepping into the final Emperor Venerate Realm to become a Great Emperor!

The path of the Martial Dao had clearly defined levels. From lowest to highest, they were: Blood Coagulation Realm, Elemental Realm, Soul Gathering Realm, Spirit Transformation Realm, Sealed Martial Realm, Yin-Yang Realm, Nirvana Realm, Heaven-Burning Realm, and Emperor Venerate Realm.

Lian Chixiao was only eighteen, yet he had already stepped into the Spirit Transformation Realm. One could only imagine his martial talent and bloodline constitution.

If his true cultivation became known, he would be eliminated without a second thought.

Therefore, the Jinglian Saint Institute had been trying every possible method to hide his cultivation.

Originally, everything was going smoothly, but in recent months, great changes were happening in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, and several people were attempting to break through to the Nirvana Realm.

There were even rumors that there were already Nirvana Realm Martial Artists in the Divine Demon Destruction Domain; they had just sealed themselves away.

A new, tumultuous era was dawning. Those self-sealed Saints were about to emerge from their seclusion to contend for the supreme imperial throne!

With Saints emerging into the world, Lian Chixiao’s position would become incredibly precarious. That was why the Jinglian Saint Institute had conceived the idea of reforging an Emperor’s Soldier.

The matter of the Aurora Ruler was just a pretext; in truth, the entire affair had been planned in secret for a long time.

And Lian Chixiao, possessing great cultivation but unable to use it, had been hiding his talents for years. He had been mocked by who knows how many people, and one can only imagine the frustration in his heart.

However, a genius is a genius after all. Lian Chixiao’s way of relieving his frustration was to observe battles.

Duels between geniuses were his favorite thing to watch.

Over the years, even he didn’t know how much enlightenment he had gained from them.

Although Lian Chixiao couldn’t know Lin Hao’s true identity, Lin Hao’s cultivation was beyond doubt. If a young man like him could have a duel with Lin Wu in the Second Layer, then he could definitely gain further enlightenment in the Martial Dao from them.

Lian Chixiao was not the one with the highest cultivation among the younger generation of the Divine Demon Destruction Domain, but he was definitely the most terrifying.

Lian Chixiao was lost in thought, staring in the direction Lin Hao had left, when he was suddenly jolted from his reverie.

A phenomenon appeared in the sky above the Second Layer.

The name "Idol" manifested in the void.

Lian Chixiao’s eyes narrowed, because the record "Idol" had just broken was one previously set by Lin Wu.

At the same time, the entire Divinity Realm was shaken.

After several months, Idol had returned to the Divinity Realm, and his reappearance was immediately met with shock.

This was only the beginning.

Mere dozens of breaths later, another phenomenon appeared in the sky that had just fallen silent.

The name "Idol" reappeared in the void!

In the Second Layer, beside the giant sword, Lian Chixiao’s eyes narrowed again.

Lin Hao was as good as his word. He had broken another of Lin Wu’s records.

’Lin Wu set five records in the Second Layer. Let’s see how many you can brea—’ Before Lian Chixiao could finish the thought, his jaw dropped.

Another of Lin Wu’s records was broken.

At this moment, the entire Divinity Realm was shaken.

However, it still wasn’t over.

With unstoppable momentum, Lin Hao shattered every single record Lin Wu had set in the Second Layer of the Divinity Realm!

The starting zone fell silent. The Second Layer fell silent. The Third Layer, the Fourth Layer... the entire Divinity Realm was rendered speechless.

This silence persisted until a voice finally rang out...
