Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 764 Successor of the Goddess of the Luo River

As Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, the previously lively scene fell slightly quiet, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Lin Dong opposite Xiao Yan.

If ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns couldn't detect it, that would be fine, but when those Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns focused their gaze on Lin Dong, their pupils all shrank.

Because they all clearly sensed that this Martial Ancestor Lin Dong had indeed truly entered the ranks of Saint-grade beings.

Although he was only at the early stage of the Saint Rank, he still made many Saint Rank experts present pay even more attention to this Martial Ancestor.

If you calculate the time, this Martial Ancestor has only been in the Great Thousand World for a little over ten years, but in just over ten years, this Martial Ancestor has already entered the ranks of Saint-grade.

In just over a decade, he rose from a lower plane lord to the Saint rank. Such a terrifying speed is something that, within the next ten thousand years, apart from Xiao Yan, who ascended more than a decade earlier, no one else could achieve.

At this moment, all the Heavenly Sovereigns looked at Martial Ancestor Lin Dong with a hint of fear and awe. Even the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns looked at Lin Dong with great respect.

Back then, Lin Dong cultivated diligently for ten years in the Great Thousand World and reached the Immortal Rank in one fell swoop. His achievement of defeating three Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ice Spirit Clan and the Western Heaven War Emperor was comparable to Xiao Yan's crushing victory over Maha Tian.

However, at that time, Xiao Yan was wreaking havoc in the heart of the evil race outside the realm, and his fame was so great that Lin Dong's brilliant achievements did not make much of a splash.

However, in the years since Xiao Yan's return, this pioneer of the Martial Realm has silently stepped into the ranks of Saint-grade. At this moment, the attention of these powerful figures has finally shifted from Xiao Yan to Lin Dong.

"Could this person be yet another Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan?!"

Everyone finally began to take this Martial Ancestor seriously. Although he had not shown the same amazing achievements as Xiao Yan, the fact that he had reached the Saint Rank level in just over ten years showed that his talent and opportunities might really be on par with the Flame Emperor.

For a moment, the powerful figures from various forces looked at this Martial Ancestor with mixed feelings, unsure whether to be happy or worried.

"Back then, Brother Xiao activated that mysterious light barrier, causing a change in the will of the Great Thousand Worlds. It was because of this that I gained some insights, which allowed me to break through to the Saint Rank so smoothly. In a way, I still have to thank Brother Xiao."

Martial Ancestor Lin Dong chuckled, waved his hand, and an ancient bowl surrounded by eight mysterious powers appeared in his hand.

"This item is a near-peerless sacred artifact that I temporarily crafted when I first entered the Great Thousand World. It is a replica of my current natal peerless sacred artifact, the Eight Ancestors Glazed Bowl."

My Martial Realm has only been established for less than ten years, and we currently have no peerless sacred artifact to offer as a congratulatory gift. Please forgive us, Brother Xiao!

Lin Dong smiled slightly and handed the ancient bowl, which was surrounded by eight mysterious powers, to Xiao Yan. Then he picked up the pretty little girl next to him.

"This is my daughter, her name is Lin Jing!"

The little girl looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her small face was cute and delicate, revealing a mischievous and clever nature, which made Xiao Yan feel a sense of affection for her.

He was no longer the philandering young man he once was, and he didn't have any special desires for this little girl. He just thought she was cute and fun.

"Hello, Uncle Xiao."

The young girl also looked at Xiao Yan with curiosity. Over the years, she had heard many rumors about this Yan Emperor and greatly admired this senior, especially Uncle Xiao, who was someone even her own father respected immensely.

Although Lin Jing was young and her cultivation level was not high, she still had a very high standard of vision because of her father. It was because of this that she knew how outstanding this Yan Emperor must be to earn such respect from her father.

"What a lovely little girl."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and a dazzling flame flew from his fingertip, eventually transforming into a flame rune.

"It's our first meeting, Uncle Xiao, so you can't be too stingy. This flame is a sub-flame of my Pure World True Flame. It should be of some help to you until you reach the Heavenly Supreme level. If you encounter a danger you can't handle, it can also save your life. I'm giving it to you today."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling flame rune landed in the girl's hand.

Lin Jing glanced at the flame rune in her hand, then looked up at her father.

"Since it's a gift from your Uncle Xiao, then you should accept it."

Lin Dong smiled and nodded, leading the girl to a jade table where she sat down amidst her delighted gaze.

However, the moment he sat down, those Saint-level Heavenly Sovereigns all took the initiative to come over and exchange pleasantries with him.

Although Lin Dong was amazing in the past, most people only thought that he had the potential to become a saint, and that it would be quite good if he could reach the level of Qin Tian.

But now it seems that Lin Dong's potential is comparable to Xiao Yan's. Even if he is not as good as Xiao Yan, he will definitely have a place at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World in the future.

"Come, come, little girl, it's our first time meeting. This is a little gift from your uncle."

Later on, even the most powerful Saint-level experts took out small gifts and gave them to Lin Jing.

When Lin Dong established Martial Realm, he was only a Celestial Grade cultivator, far less dazzling than Xiao Yan is today. Therefore, there were far fewer powerful figures who came to Martial Realm to offer their congratulations than there are today. Most of the Heavenly Sovereigns did not offer their congratulations. Now that they see Lin Dong's enormous potential, they all have the intention to befriend him.

As a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, even a small gift he casually takes out might be a treasure to an Earthly Sovereign. Even if it's of low quality, it would still be a sacred object, and a remarkable one at that.

"Oh dear, uncles, please don't do that, it makes me feel embarrassed!"

While pretending to be embarrassed, Lin Jing opened her pocket.

No, no!

No need to give it to me!

As he spoke, he unceremoniously stuffed all the treasures into his pocket.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, the many Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns were not angry at all; instead, they all burst into laughter.

They had lived for countless years, and their disciples and descendants always treated them with utmost respect. Today, however, they were surprised to see such a quirky and unruly little girl, which amused them all.

"You little rascal."

Watching the girl refuse while simultaneously pocketing all sorts of treasures, Lin Dong shook his head helplessly.

"Hmph, this is all the kindness and care my uncles have for me. You old man, don't meddle in other people's business!"

The little girl patted her father's shoulder and hummed softly, which made the group of high-ranking officials laugh even harder.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also smiled.

Following Lin Dong, hundreds of other Celestial Sovereigns of Immortal and Spiritual grades successively offered their congratulatory gifts. Although these people were not as generous as those Saint-grade experts, they were still the leaders of a super power. The treasures they presented were either supernatural techniques, rare and precious materials, or sacred pills. In short, none of them were of lower value than a sacred object.

After all, for a banquet of this caliber, if they couldn't even produce a treasure of the sacred level, it wouldn't just be Xiao Yan who lost face, but also their own.

Hundreds of Heavenly Sovereigns, along with some Earthly Sovereigns sent by their subordinates to offer congratulations, represented more than half of the super powers in the Great Thousand World, all of whom presented gifts to Xiao Yan. This significantly boosted the previously relatively weak foundation of the Endless Fire Domain.

Most of the powerful figures were seated according to their strength, with only a few exceptions, such as the Fire Spirit Ancestor, who had a good relationship with Xiao Yan, being able to sit alongside the other Saint-level figures.

Generally speaking, they all got along quite well. Even though some powerful figures had grudges against each other, they didn't dare to openly break off relations for Xiao Yan's sake. However, amidst everyone's smiles, Martial Ancestor Lin Dong looked in one direction with a slightly indifferent gaze.

Under his gaze, the Celestial Supreme below also became somewhat uneasy.

This person was none other than the Western Heaven War Emperor.

Back then, the Western Heaven War Emperor was so infatuated with the beauty of the Martial Ancestor's wife that he joined forces with the Ice Spirit Clan to try to intercept the Martial Ancestor. As a result, he was hunted down by the Martial Ancestor for half of the Great Thousand Worlds and was even sealed away for several years as punishment.

Therefore, the Western Heaven War Emperor now feels somewhat uneasy whenever he sees the Martial Ancestor.

Just as he was feeling uncertain, at the end of the banquet, an old man dressed in black appeared at the banquet.

Upon seeing the old man, the Western Heaven War Emperor's expression changed slightly again, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"How could he possibly be qualified to attend this banquet?"

The Western Heaven War Emperor looked at the old man with some confusion, but when he saw the girl behind the old man, a burning desire appeared in his eyes.

"This woman must be the successor of the Goddess of the Luo River in this generation!"

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a clear laugh: "Brother Luo, it seems you've finally graced my Endless Fire Domain with your presence!"
