As time passed, more and more experts gathered in the vicinity of the Spirit Tempering Tower.

The appearance of several legendary supreme path experts drew the entire crowd’s attention and caused quite a commotion.

While some of the old monsters were famous figures who commanded respect wherever they went, their reputation was, relatively speaking, slightly lacking in the current circumstances.

Only the appearance of a Saint expert would probably create a big stir here.

Lang Qianheng stood atop a cloud above the Spirit Tempering Tower. Under the light from the sky, his tall figure appeared draped in a gorgeous layer of light.

He silently stood there with his blood-red hair, blueish-green eyes, and devilishly handsome face, drawing the attention of many people as he exuded a mighty presence that resembled a dragon or tiger.

He was waiting.

Lang Qianheng thought to himself. "I wonder if Lin Xun has the guts to come… If he doesn't, it’ll be extremely humiliating."

Mu Zhaixing of the Great Luo Ancient Domain, Zhu Yingxue of the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain, and several other men and women had gathered to one side to observe.

They stood in the sky, allowing them to see everything below.

There was a clear hint of arrogance on each of their faces.

Ever since they began their cultivation journeys, they had been told that the Ancient Wasteland Domain was an abandoned and declining domain where the supreme path had been lost.

As a result, they subconsciously felt a sense of superiority here.

Only the appearance of Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, and the other supreme path experts had slightly drawn their interest while every other cultivator was no different from chickens and dogs in their eyes.

Even Saint experts weren’t able to draw much of their interest because they knew that these were Saint experts who had not attained the supreme path.

Moreover, they would soon become supreme Saint experts who would surpass all of the Saint experts present!

"How pitiful. If it weren't for the barrier between domains, the Ancient Wasteland Domain would have been conquered by us long ago."

Zhu Yingxue sighed.

The others couldn't help but chuckle in agreement.

In their eyes, it was a great tragedy that there were so few supreme path experts in a world as vast as the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Mu Zhaixing frowned and reminded them, "Be careful of what you say. Although we are envoys, this is still the Ancient Wasteland Domain. If we anger someone we can’t afford to, we might not be able to bear the consequences."

Zhu Yingxue pouted disapprovingly.

The others appeared to be unconcerned as well.

As envoys from the eight domains, if the Ancient Wasteland Domain dared to disregard their status as envoys and deal with them, the experts of the Ancient Wasteland Domain would have to face the wrath of the other eight domains when the Conflict of the Nine Domains began!

The faces of the old monsters hidden nearby darkened when they heard the conversation between Zhu Yingxue and the others.

It naturally felt horrible to be belittled and ridiculed by such a group of youngsters!

Even an old monster from the Omega Sword Sect couldn't help but wish that Lin Xun would show up and teach these foreign visitors a lesson they would never forget for the rest of their lives!

Time passed amidst the noisy atmosphere.

……

"Only after coming here did I realize how pathetic I am…"

Wei Lingke sighed.

It was indeed quite a huge gap. In the place where she lived, her status allowed her to get almost everything she wanted.Here, however, she was stuck in the outer area and couldn’t get closer to the Spirit Tempering Tower.

This showed the difference in status and cultivation.

However, it was something that Wei Lingke had never experienced so deeply before.

It was at this moment that she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure leisurely walking over from afar.

While he appeared low-key, he seemed to have no intention of stopping and sought to continue advancing.

The Omega Sword Sect disciples stationed nearby saw this and immediately moved forward to chase him off.

Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Where did this guy come from? Even the old monsters present don't dare to venture too deep, yet he dares to swagger in?"

By this juncture, Wei Lingke and Ran Xing had also noticed Lin Xun and identified him.

"Hey, I’m here..." Wei Lingke tried to call out to Lin Xun and invite him over.

Suddenly, a purple-haired youth laughed loudly and approached to greet Lin Xun, "Lin Xun, you’ve finally turned up!"

These two simple words were like a thunderclap, causing all the nearby cultivators to twist their heads and look over.

The Omega Sword Sect disciples who were about to stop Lin Xun trembled and froze in place.

Their faces paled as their eyes widened in shock.

Some distance away, Imperial Son Shaohao’s, Fairy Ruowu’s, Mi Hengzhen’s, Ye Mohe’s, Ji Xingyao’s, Chi Lingxiao’s, and the other supreme path experts’ eyes lit up and they walked toward Lin Xun.

The crowd immediately parted, revealing a spacious path that extended all the way to Lin Xun.

The atmosphere also turned silent.

Wei Lingke's mouth was agape, her hand was frozen mid-wave, and her beautiful eyes turned round in disbelief.

She had traveled thousands of miles to see Demon God Lin in action and cheer for him. However, she never imagined that the man she had traveled with would turn out to be him!

It was simply inconceivable.

Wei Lingke felt as if she was dreaming.

However, she knew that all of this was real. Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe, and the other supreme path experts had attracted the attention of countless gazes when they appeared earlier.

Now, these legends were moving together to welcome him!

Who else could receive such treatment besides the one and only Demon God Lin?!

Ran Xing's eyes nearly popped from their sockets, and his expression was frozen in shock. Earlier, he had sworn out of jealousy that he would teach Lin Xun a lesson if he appeared again.

Who could have anticipated that he would turn out to be Demon God Lin?!

Ran Xing shuddered as his face paled, suddenly remembering that he had mocked Lin Xun on the way to Baiyujing.

The crowd around them stirred, causing Wei Lingke and Ran Xing to return to their senses, only to look up and see Lin Xun walking towards them.

……Mi Hengzhen asked, "Brother Lin, where are you going?"

"I saw a friend so I’m going to say hello."

Lin Xun arrived in front of Wei Lingke. He smiled and said, "I told you we would meet again."

Wei Lingke excitedly exclaimed, "You're Demon God Lin!"

She could feel the surrounding experts and bigwigs in the area looking at her in surprise and confusion.

The sensation of being the center of attention made Wei Lingke tremble. She had never experienced such attention before.

Nearly the entire world was gathered in Baiyujing, and she was currently the focus of everyone’s attention!

This caused Wei Lingke to look at Lin Xun with brilliantly shining eyes.

Lin Xun asked, "Why are you standing here?"

Wei Lingke blurted out, "Because I’m not qualified."

Lin Xun smiled and said, "It is fate that we met. Follow me."

He had not forgotten that she had come here to cheer for him. Hence, how could he allow her experience to be ruined before the duel began?

He walked off without even glancing at Ran Xing from start to end.

After all, such a person was never worth any attention from the beginning.

Ran Xing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, feeling fortunate that Lin Xun didn't make things difficult. However, Ran Xing suddenly felt an indescribable dejection when he saw Wei Lingke excitedly following Lin Xun toward the Spirit Tempering Tower under the eyes of the crowd.

Humiliation wasn't the worst; what was worse was when the other party didn’t even have any interest in humiliating you and treated you like air.

Lin Xun arrived in front of the Spirit Tempering Tower. He smiled and said to Wei Lingke, "You can stay here. You shouldn’t be hurt at this distance."

Wei Lingke nodded. Her smile was brighter than the sun.

Today was the best day of her life.

Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, and the others couldn't help but exchange a look and smile when they saw this, but they didn't say anything.

Lin Xun couldn’t be bothered to explain as well.

He looked around and saw many familiar faces, finding that even Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, Luo Jia, Shun Baixuan, and the others were present.

Only Zhao Jingxuan and Toady were missing.

Toady was in secluded cultivation, and Zhao Jingxuan was probably receiving an inheritance in the sect. It was understandable that they weren’t present.

"Be careful. Lang Qianheng is no ordinary expert."

Ji Xingyao transmitted, "He is a single step from becoming a Saint expert, is extremely talented, and possesses an extremely powerful innate talent. He is an unrivaled and formidable enemy who cannot be ignored."

Lin Xun smiled at her and casually said, "Don't worry. I came because I’m confident."

Ji Xingyao nodded, but she couldn't hide her worried look.

Many Ancient Wasteland Domain experts strongly believed in Lin Xun. However, Ji Xingyao had investigated Lang Qianheng before, and the more she found out, the more shocked she became.

He was an extremely powerful and outstanding heaven pride who had made sure to conceal the extent of his abilities well so no one could tell how powerful he was.

The more someone did this, the more frightening they were.

However, such things were no longer important at this juncture. The appointed battle, which had drawn the entire world's attention, was about to begin. It was like a nocked arrow that had to be fired.

Ji Xingyao could only pray that Lin Xun wouldn’t be careless.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun looked up at the sky where a dignified figure was standing atop a cloud. His blood-red hair was extremely eye-catching. It was Lang Qianheng.

"Lin Xun, is your late arrival a sign of your lack of confidence? My master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Nearby, Bi Hen, who had been forced to kneel by Lin Xun, walked over with an icy expression and an unconcealed look of hatred in her eyes.
