Dongfang Bai!
(5 Updates) Upon first arriving in Lingnan, Lin Bai couldn’t figure out directions and could only walk in one direction, continuously.
Half a month later, Lin Bai arrived at an ancient city.
Atop the city gate, it was written “Huanglong City.”
“Finally, I see a Human Clan city,” Lin Bai said with a slight smile as he walked toward the center of the city!
Entering the city, Lin Bai occasionally overheard Warriors discussing in low voices.
“Three months from now, it will be the All Nations Disciple Recruitnt Conference.
I heard that our Ancient Clan of Huanglong City only has three spots, which is really too few.”
“Yes, other cities almost all have more than twenty spots!
But our Huanglong City only has three spots for the Ancient Clan, and the other dozen or so Families don’t have any!”
“No wonder, the Ancient Clan was once glorious and produced a succession of Strong Ones but has rely declined.”
“Now, in Huanglong City, various Families are cozying up to the Ancient Clan, hoping to secure a spot for their younger Family mbers to be admitted into a Peerless Sect of Lingnan!”
“Exactly, the All Nations Disciple Recruitnt Conference is an event that gathers all the powerful Sects of the Territory of all nations in Lingnan.
During the conference, if you stand out and are noticed by a Sect, it’s like soaring to the heavens.”
“Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Saint Seal Sect, Azure Dragon Empire, Su Dynasty, Zhao Royal Dynasty, and many other forces will send experts to vie for outstanding Disciples!”
“Even if you can’t enter a Sect, being favored by the Dynasty’s Royal Family and awarded the title of Prince Consort wouldn’t be bad either.”
“Haha, kid, all you think about is becoming a Prince Consort.”
“…”
Lin Bai walked apathetically on the street, listening to the matters the Warriors were discussing.
“All Nations Disciple Recruitnt Conference!”
“Is this the ti for Lingnan to select its geniuses?
Seems like I ca at the right ti.”
“This city is called Huanglong City, where only the Ancient Clan has three spots.
That’s far too few.”
Lin Bai muttered in frustration.
Huanglong City was vast, with countless Warriors numbering in the millions.
Within these millions of Warriors, how many were Cultivation geniuses poised to strike.
With so many Martial Art geniuses competing for those three slots, you can imagine how imnsely challenging it would be.
Lin Bai continued to listen.
“The Ancient Clan, having stood in Huanglong City for hundreds of years without falling, isn’t it all because of these three spots!”
“That’s right, and the Ancient Clan has no shortage of geniuses.
I’ve heard that the Ancient Clan’s young miss has already posted a notice, seeking the strongest Sword Cultivator in Huanglong City to Cultivate Sword Art together!”
“This is the best chance to get close to the Ancient Clan, and many Sword Cultivators have gone to register with the Ancient Clan.”
“If one of the Sword Cultivators manages to successfully coach the young miss and helps her to be admitted into one of the Peerless Sects of Lingnan, perhaps the Ancient Clan, in their joy, will reward them with a spot.”
“I wish I could go and teach the Ancient Clan’s young miss!”
“Haha, Old Zhang, with that Sword Skill of yours?”
“What about my Sword Skill?
It’s really strong…”
“Hahaha!”
“…”
At this point, Lin Bai curiously looked toward the man who claid to have “very strong” Sword Skills, only to find him burly and fierce-looking, with a wild aura emanating from him, like a Beast!
Upon seeing him, Lin Bai had a heart-stopping impression!
“Sir, you shouldn’t be practicing Sword Art, you should be practicing Demon Beast art.
Haha.”
Lin Bai pursed his lips and chuckled softly.
Then, his gaze beca serious, “However, since the Ancient Clan is looking for a strong Sword Cultivator, if I could obtain an apprenticeship spot from the Ancient Clan, that might really be a shortcut!”
“If I could be admitted into the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, that would be ideal, then I could find Yejian Jun…”
“Yejian Jun, it seems we are destined, let’s start with you.”
Lin Bai’s gaze shifted, and a hint of killing intent shimred in his eyes.
Lin Bai carefully considered his options.
If he did not beco a disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, it wouldn’t be impossible to continue cultivating alone in Lingnan.
But the key issue was, by doing so, Lin Bai would not be able to get in touch with the Six Freaks of Lingnan!
And killing them would be even more difficult!
The best plan was to get close to them, to understand every move they made, and that would offer a much better chance to strike them down!
Therefore, Lin Bai wanted to join the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, to seek out Yejian Jun.
“First, I’ll go to the Ancient Clan and secure that entry slot,” he thought.
Lin Bai quickly stopped a warrior to ask for directions to the Ancient Clan, and then he strode towards it.
The Ancient Clan was the number one major family in Huanglong City.
Huanglong City wasn’t like other cities with their chaotic distribution of power.
In Huanglong City, only the Ancient Clan stood as the dominant force, overshadowing all others, while minor families were no match for them.
The reason why the Ancient Clan could reign supre was entirely due to the three entry slots they held for the All Nations Disciple Recruitnt Conference—it was the very foundation of the Ancient Clan’s centuries of unbroken legacy!
It seed that the Ancient Clan’s ancestor was once a mighty Yangshen Realm Strong One.
The All Nations Disciple Recruitnt Conference was always generous to families led by a Patriarch who had once reached the Yangshen Realm.
However, since no warrior from the Ancient Clan had distinguished themselves for hundreds of years at the conference, their allocation had been cut down from twenty to just three slots.
If this year no one could secure a place for the Ancient Clan at the conference, it was likely that in another five years, their allocation would be reduced by one more.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Ancient Clan.
A warrior stopped Lin Bai and asked sternly, “Who goes there?”
Lin Bai smiled and replied with a fist-and-palm salute, “Young sir, I’ve heard the Ancient Clan is recruiting Sword Art experts to teach sword skills to the young miss of the house.
I am here to apply.”
The warrior sneered at Lin Bai, his eyes filled with contempt, “You?
A Sword Cultivator Strong One?”
Lin Bai replied with a smile, “The real deal, my Sword Art is quite decent.”
The warrior said helplessly, “Brother, it’s not that I look down on you, but if you’re going to dupe soone, at least try to look the part.”
Lin Bai puzzledly asked, “Where do I look like a swindler?”
The warrior replied, “Just look at yourself, you don’t possess a single attribute that doesn’t scream ‘swindler’.”
Lin Bai looked down and let out a wry smile.
For the past few months, he had been traveling through the Primordial World, neglecting his appearance, with unkempt hair and a scruffy figure.
Indeed, he didn’t look the part of a Sword Art Strong One.
Noticing Lin Bai’s predicant, the warrior spoke indifferently, “Nevermind, nevermind.
I see you’ve made quite the journey here; I’ll give you a chance.
Follow .”
“Let tell you, though, if it doesn’t work out, leave quickly.
There are many, many Sword Cultivation experts inside.”
“If you end up suffering or losing face later, don’t say I didn’t warn you,” the gatekeeping warrior advised.
Lin Bai, seeing that the warrior had so kindness, replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, old brother, I have self-awareness.”
The warrior smiled and said, “That’s good, follow .”
“Oh, by the way, young brother, what is your na?” the warrior asked Lin Bai.
Hearing this question, Lin Bai seed contemplative.
The warrior asked in surprise, “Brother, don’t tell you ca to deceive people without even a fake na prepared.”
Lin Bai replied with a wry smile, “Old brother, I’m really not a swindler!”
“My na is…
Dongfang Bai,” Lin Bai said lightly and with a smile.
From the east, my na is Lin Bai!
Dongfang Bai!
