In the end, Lin Xun nodded.

Since he was supposed to be traveling the world with a carefree attitude, there was no harm in participating in such an assembly.

"Young Master, please."

The beautiful woman displayed a mesmerizing smile.

Only then did Lin Xun notice that she was quite an eye-catching beauty with a great figure, large, limpid eyes, and fair, glossy skin.

The woman then walked ahead, taking the initiative to lead the way.

Lin Xun smiled and didn’t say anything.

Although he appeared as unremarkable as a cloud, years of battle and cultivating made his presence feel unexplainably deep, unfathomable, and as towering as a mountain. It made him stand out among the crowd while also suppressing the presence of other nearby cultivators.

It was also why the woman had proactively approached him.

"Young Master, I’m called Xie Wei and I’m from the Green Song Sword Sect of Treasure Bottle Province."

Along the way, Xie Wei looked at Lin Xun with her large eyes and happily asked, "What about you?"

Lin Xun casually replied, "Names aren’t important. We’ll naturally recognize each other if we meet again in the future."

He wasn’t intentionally trying to hide his name but he would inevitably draw too much unnecessary attention if his identity was exposed.

Additionally, he would end up stealing the limelight from the organizer of the assembly.

That would not be good since he was only here to have a little look around.

Xie Wei curiously asked, "Are you also a supreme path expert?"

Lin Xun acknowledged with a soft grunt.

Upon seeing him admit it, Xie Wei's limpid eyes shone brightly as she said, "No wonder you have such an extraordinary aura. You’ve entered the Supreme Realm before.

"Only the cream of the crop can enter the Supreme Realm, like Imperial Son Shao Hao, Fairy Ruowu, Yuan Fatian, the Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, and many others..."

Xie Wei's brows carried a clear hint of respect and admiration. "The organizer of the Thousand Streams Assembly, Senior Brother Yi Tianlin, also once entered the Supreme Realm. He’s a very remarkable individual, and his senior brother is the Origin God Sect’s most famous Ye Mohe.

"Ah right, do you know them, Young Master?"

Xie Wei stared at him with wide eyes.

"Them?"

Lin Xun was taken aback. He then laughed and said, "There are probably very few people in the world who don't know of them."

The two individuals ascended Thousand Streams Mountain as they conversed.

The mountain stood at the center of the city. It was a gorgeous work of nature with many waterfalls falling from the peak, creating a magnificent spectacle of a thousand silver streams competing to rush up the mountain.

A woman in purple robes suddenly approached them from the path ahead.

"Xie Wei, weren’t you supposed to receive Senior Brother Xia Liuchuan? Who is this person?"

The purple-robed woman looked suspiciously at Lin Xun.

She was a tall woman with a sharp and cold gaze. Her expression was also as cold as frost while tinged with a bossy arrogance.

Sure enough, Xie Wei turned timid and said, "Senior Sister Gu, this young master is also here to participate. Oh, that’s right, he's also a supreme path expert."Senior Sister Gu was taken aback. Slight hesitation was revealed on her face when she saw that Lin Xun did give off an extraordinary presence despite his unremarkable aura.

Only first-class experts were invited to the Thousand Streams Assembly, especially Yi Tianlin, who was a renowned longevity tribulation stage Supreme King expert.

If the person before her was a supreme path expert, it was only right that they treated him appropriately.

With these thoughts in mind, Senior Sister Gu was about to say something when a commotion was suddenly heard nearby. Soon, a silver-robed youth was seen walking towards the mountain surrounded by his entourage.

"Senior Brother Yi Tianlin is here!"

"Quickly, get up to greet him."

"Haha, we finally get to see Senior Brother Yi Tianlin in the flesh. He is indeed a supreme path expert from the Origin God Sect."

Numerous experts on the mountain were immediately alerted and rose to their feet as their gazes turned toward the silver-robed figure.

Upon seeing this, Senior Sister Gu appeared excited as she hurriedly instructed, "Xie Wei, go ahead with the young master."

A dazzling smile emerged on her originally frosty face as she stepped past them to greet the silver-robed youth.

Lin Xun was swiftly forgotten by her.

Xie Wei whispered from the side to cheer Lin Xun up, "Young Master, please don’t take it to heart. I believe the day will come when you will also be treated like Senior Brother Yi Tianlin. After all, you're also a supreme path expert with a great future."

"Your words are too kind."

Lin Xun inwardly smiled. Why would such things concern him given his experiences and current mindset?

He found it amusing that Miss Xie Wei was comparing him to Yi Tianlin...it was quite a ridiculous comparison.

After all, only characters like Imperial Son Shao Hao, Fairy Ruowu, Underworld Son, and Ye Mohe would be remembered by him. It was a group that Yi Tianlin clearly had no place in.

If his guess was right, the other party had probably failed even to enter the Genius Gold Rankings.

However, Lin Xun's mindset had changed from the past. It wasn’t that he couldn’t be bothered about such matters but that he didn’t care at all.

"Uh."

Xie Wei didn’t know what she should say. There was a stark contrast in treatment between Yi Tianlin and Lin Xun despite them both being supreme path experts.

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Let’s go, there’s no need to console me. I'm just here to look around and I'll be gone soon."

Xie Wei nodded and continued leading the way.

A pavilion had been constructed on the mountain and was supplied with tables, mats, fruits, tea, and alcohol for the participating experts to enjoy.

Lin Xun randomly chose a seat near the corner, sat down, and began to study the secrets in the Saint’s Guide.

He would occasionally listen to snippets of the conversations between the other experts, but it was mostly idle chatter that wasn’t worth taking note of.

This sight made Xie Wei certain that Lin Xun genuinely didn't mind the comparatively poor treatment, allowing her to inwardly breathe a sigh of relief. She sat down beside him and helped him refill his drink.

Lin Xun didn’t refuse her hospitality.

After all, it was a delight to have such a beauty serving him.

It wasn't long before Yi Tianlin's group ascended the mountain and seated themselves at the main seat in the center.

As he took his seat, the originally noisy atmosphere quietened all of a sudden as every gaze looked toward him.

The feeling of being the focus of everyone’s attention made Yi Tianlin smile slightly. He said in a clear voice, "I've kept everyone waiting. I was late because I went to collect some information about Lang Qianheng."

Several people’s breathing paused for a second.

The most famous individual in the Ancient Wasteland Domain at the moment was Lang Qianheng, a supreme path expert from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain.

Many supreme path experts had lost to him over the past few months, and the strong battle power he displayed made people’s hearts shiver.

Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Yi, could it be that you've discovered Lang Qianheng's trump card?"

Yi Tianlin nodded. "He’s from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain’s Yellow Springs Demon Sect, was born with the Dark Demon Body, possesses the innate talent Eight Hundred Demon Domains, has ninth longevity stage cultivation...

"His weapon of choice is a pair of heavenly demon blades, a pair of unrivaled Demon Dao Saint Treasures.

"He has a domineering character, an aloof arrogance, and a cruel nature. His fighting style is also forceful and domineering, so it will be best to go all out if you face him.

"Additionally, according to the analysis of some elders, Lang Qianheng's battle power is not the least bit inferior to the top thirty rankers of the Genius Gold Rankings."

These words caused the pavilion to fall deathly silent. Everyone's expressions were colored with a mix of graveness and astonishment while their hearts felt heavy.

It was indisputable that Lang Qianheng was a first-rate supreme path expert with chillingly powerful foundations!

"Top thirty of the Genius Gold Rankings?"

Lin Xun thought about it and felt that it should be around the level of Underworld Son and Bai Longting from back then.

"Of course, no one knows for certain just how strong Lang Qianheng is at the moment. As all of you know, none of his opponents has managed to survive more than ten moves."

Yi Tianlin's voice carried a touch of graveness, "This means that we’ll need to send someone on the same level as Lang Qianheng to find out his bottom line."

The atmosphere grew increasingly silent as everyone looked at each other with heavy hearts. It wasn’t a good feeling.

The Blood Demon Ancient Domain was one of the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s greatest enemies and there was an irresolvable blood feud between them that had accumulated for countless years.

At present, Lang Qianheng had crossed the domain boundary, descended onto the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and challenged all the supreme path experts of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Such arrogance and disrespect were already infuriating.

To make things worse, Lang Qianheng’s recent repeated victories were heavy blows to the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s morale and made them unable to raise their heads due to shame.

"There’s no need for everyone to worry, as far as I know, most of our strongest experts are currently in secluded cultivation to prepare for the upcoming Conflict of the Nine Domains. If they knew about Lang Qianheng, one of them would definitely step up to deal with him."

At this point, Yi Tianlin couldn’t help but smile faintly and say, "In fact, when I was coming here, I heard that Senior Brother Ye Mohe is soon to leave his secluded cultivation!"

Everyone was immediately invigorated.

Ye Mohe was a dazzling supreme path expert who shined brighter than the sun in the sky and had made quite a name for himself back in the day in the Supreme Realm.

If it was him, Lang Qianheng would likely be ruthlessly subdued!

Suddenly, someone said, "However, from what I know, Lang Qianheng isn't the only envoy who has arrived in the Ancient Wasteland Domain."

Yi Tianlin nodded. "That's right, and that's the second matter I wish to inform everyone about. Besides Lang Qianheng of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, seven other envoys from the other seven domains have also descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain."

He paused for a moment before he continued, "Although it’s currently impossible to know the purpose of their visit, it’s certain that it can’t be anything good!"

For a time, all kinds of thoughts swirled in the crowd’s heads.

Even Lin Xun was slightly stunned. It was news to him that Liang Qianheng wasn't the only supreme path expert among the envoy group who had come to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Why had the eight domains formed an envoy group and descended upon the Ancient Wasteland Domain at such a time? One must know that the Conflict of the Nine Domains was right around the corner.

Someone coldly said, "Who cares why?! If the enemies have come, we’ll just have to go out and face them!"

At this moment, a snort suddenly rang out from the foot of the mountain. Although it was on the softer side, it clearly sounded in everyone’s ears.
