Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 44 The Creation Martial Stele, the Mysterious Woman

Surrounded by mountains.

A dark purple tower stands there, covered in mottled red rust, its long neglect giving it an ancient feel.

The ancient pagoda pierces the sky, its top surrounded by swirling clouds and mist.

There were also many people around, some sitting cross-legged in meditation, others chatting in small groups.

"This ancient tower is extraordinary, but unfortunately the maze below is too complicated; one could easily lose their way inside if they're not careful."

A man dressed in purple brocade gazed at the ancient pagoda that pierced the clouds and sighed.

"There's probably some kind of opportunity inside, but unfortunately, we're not strong enough to even glimpse it."

The man's companion also sighed in admiration.

"Don't even think about it. This tower was noticed a hundred years ago, and it even attracted a Nirvana Realm expert to come here personally."

Another burly man curled his lip.

"Has a Nirvana Realm expert been here?"

Upon hearing about the Nirvana Realm, the others became interested and focused their attention on the burly man.

"Hey, I heard it from my family elders. Even that Nirvana expert was helpless against it and could only return empty-handed in the end."

The burly man smiled and continued.

"So don't even think about it. Even Nirvana Realm experts are powerless, so what can we do?"

Upon hearing this...

The group of people all sighed in unison.

That is indeed the case. If even a Nirvana Realm expert cannot break through this maze, then we ourselves will probably only perish within it.

rustle--

Suddenly, footsteps came from inside the tower.

As time went on, the sound became increasingly clear.

Not long after.

Then a white figure slowly walked out from the vermilion gate.

The group stared at the figure without changing their expressions.

"It seems this person has given up after realizing the difficulty, otherwise he would most likely have gotten lost in it and never been able to get out."

The burly man from before merely glanced at him and said nothing more.

The others quickly shifted their attention and steered the conversation elsewhere.

"Does anyone know where the Creation Martial Stele is located?"

The young man in white suddenly spoke.

The group was taken aback at first.

They quickly realized what was happening.

The man in purple robes cupped his hands in greeting and was the first to reply.

"This gentleman is interested in the Creation Martial Stele, isn't he? We're just about to go there ourselves, why don't we go together?"

"Alright."

The young man in white smiled calmly and then fell silent.

……

In the vast and boundless sky.

A series of rainbow-like lights flashed by.

If viewed from the sky, one would see many figures moving in the same direction.

Lin Langtian and Xiao Diao were naturally among them.

After leaving the ancient pagoda.

The man and his sable encountered several other young prodigies from the Great Yan Dynasty.

The group walked together toward the Creation Martial Stele.

The man in the purple robe leading the group was particularly enthusiastic, and they seemed to have endless topics to discuss along the way.

Lin Langtian chatted intermittently.

"I never imagined that Brother Lin was a member of the Lin clan. My apologies for my disrespect."

When the man in purple robes learned about Lin Langtian's background, he seemed quite surprised, and his attitude became even more enthusiastic.

His companions were also surprised.

"Nobody's name, not worth mentioning."

Lin Langtian smiled faintly.

I am indeed not famous yet.

Although his current strength is enough to rank him at the top of the Great Yan Dynasty, the number of people who know his true strength is no more than a handful.

However, the strength of the Creation Martial Stele will likely be revealed in the next one.

There's no other way.

Among those vying for the ten prayer mats this time, there will undoubtedly be members of the Lin clan.

Especially Lin Min, who definitely recognizes the original owner.

Although Lin Langtian's strength wasn't great before he transmigrated, he was still young and very talented.

Naturally.

He is quite famous within the Lin clan.

At least half of the members of the Lin clan's main branch have heard of his name.

However, due to insufficient strength and a lack of public exposure, it is not well-known throughout the Great Yan Dynasty.

In fact, there are many ways to conceal one's identity. One could even easily deceive the members of the Lin clan, including Lin Min, simply by wearing a black robe.

But Lin Langtian had no such intention whatsoever.

There is no other reason.

no need.

I'll have to reveal my strength sooner or later, and I absolutely have to participate in the seed selection, so it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered.

The reason Lin Langtian didn't greet Lin Min when he entered was simply because the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was too important, and he didn't want any variables to occur.

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol is now in our hands.

There's no need to hide my identity anymore; what I need to do is prove my abilities.

The man in the purple robe smiled.

"Brother Lin is joking. If one is an unknown person, one is not qualified to get involved in the competition for the Creation Martial Stele."

Lin Langtian didn't say anything.

The probing was quite obvious.

This person just wants to find out his strength.

Lin Langtian didn't mind revealing his strength, but he wouldn't reveal it just for saying that.

That's so cheap.

Seeing that Lin Langtian didn't react, the man in purple stopped asking questions and cleverly changed the subject, appearing to be having a pleasant conversation.

Several more minutes passed.

The group finally arrived at a huge square.

The area was covered with blue stone platforms, all of which were covered with moss, creating a green and gray landscape at first glance.

Countless people had already arrived, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

Lin Langtian's gaze shifted to the center of the arena.

There, a huge stone monument stands tall into the clouds, silently.

It is filled with a profound sense of history.

Ripples emanated from the stone tablet, causing fluctuations in the surrounding elemental energy from time to time.

I observed for a while.

Lin Langtian shifted his gaze and swept it across the crowd.

At the very front of the stone tablet.

A large space was left empty, with only a very small number of people inside.

This contrasts sharply with the crowded scene that follows.

Those people were divided into four factions, with clearly defined circles.

Without a doubt, only members of the four great families could enjoy such treatment in this kind of setting.

really.

Lin Langtian's gaze swept over the crowd.

Lin Min was spotted at a glance. He was surrounded by the rest of the Lin clan, like a star being the moon, attracting special attention.

Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly looked at Lin Min's side with a surprised expression.

There.

A slender figure in cyan stood quietly.

The woman's skin was as white as snow, her temperament as elegant as an orchid, and her face as beautiful and otherworldly as a fairy, giving people a hazy and dreamlike sense of beauty.

She wore a light blue long dress, with a jade hairpin inserted at an angle, and her black hair danced in the breeze.

His face was cold and aloof, as if he were detached from the world, or like an ancient iceberg. Even from a distance, he gave people a feeling of coldness that kept them at a distance.

What surprised Lin Langtian the most was her strength.

Now that Lin Langtian has broken through to the Heavenly Talisman Master level, his spiritual power has increased dramatically, so he naturally saw through the strength of the unfamiliar woman at a glance.

Peak of the Creation Realm.

"Who is this person? He looks like someone from your Lin clan?"

Little Marten seemed intrigued and turned to ask Lin Langtian.
