Chapter 1 Outcasts in the Forest
Rumble......
Rumble......
There was a thunder in the clear sky, which frightened all the beasts in the forest and the crows and magpies flew away, extremely frightened.
Lin Sheng opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and then looked at the bruises left by the rope on his wrist, and finally understood that he had finally been abandoned by the family elders. At this time, Lin Sheng's heart was cold, and the heart of this proud son of heaven who had once dominated the entire immortal cultivation world was completely cold. Hmph, what family affection, what blood is thicker than water, all are cover-ups, in the face of absolute interests, all unforgettable feelings seem so pale and so powerless.
From the age of 7 to the age of 7 with his father to the 16-year-old Lin Sheng, the family has infinite legends and honors. Of course, now this former legend and honor have become a sigh.
The continent where Lin Sheng's family is located is called the Immortal Spirit Continent, and the cultivation of the Immortal Spirit Continent is popular, from the children of the royal family, the sons of the family, to the common people, and even the beggars who beg on the street have the opportunity to cultivate.
The Immortal Spirit Continent is the world of cultivators, to be exact, the world of martial artists. The most in the Immortal Continent is the martial artist, it can be said that the martial artist is the lowest cultivator in the Immortal Continent, and above the martial artist is the martial artist, as long as the cultivation reaches the realm of the martial artist, you can go to join the country's army, so that it is no longer the lowest level, at least it can be regarded as a medium city resident, as for the martial artist, it is the martial spirit, the martial king, the martial saint, and the martial sect. Each realm is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. If you can reach the realm of martial arts, then at least one general can be in the army, and you will have the opportunity to obtain the title of a nobleman, and every year several countries in the fairy spirit continent will send some people from the generals who have made military merits to give them the title of noble. This is also the supreme motivation for generals to fight bravely on the battlefield. The privileges enjoyed by the nobles in the Fairy Spirit Continent were too much, and those generals couldn't help but be red-eyed.
As for the Martial King, it is not something that can be moved by the interests of the ordinary world, generally except for the martial kings of those big families who sometimes serve the royal family for the benefit of the family, most of the other cultivators in the realm of the Martial King will no longer act for the interests of the world, generally they are looking for a piece of feng shui treasure land in a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful Where to retreat and cultivate, in order to break through to the realm of martial saints in their lifetime, the lifespan of the cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent is also limited, and the life span of the average martial artist is also a hundred years, and the lifespan of the martial spirit will be increased by two hundred years, and the life span of the martial king is nearly five hundred yearsγ If you break through to the Martial Saint, you will basically have an endless lifespan, and as long as you are not killed by others, you will already be an almost eternal existence.
The Martial Saint is the biggest watershed for the cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent, which is why those Martial Kings are so eager to cultivate to the Martial Saint realm. As for Wu Zong, not to mention, it was already an existence close to a god.
However, the current Immortal Continent is indeed far inferior to hundreds of years ago, and the current Immortal Continent is greatly more difficult to cultivate because of the lack of aura. There have been several Martial Kings who have died because they did not break through to the Martial Saint Realm in their lifetimes. In the past three hundred years, there has been a person who has broken through to the realm of Martial Saints, but he doesn't know where he went, and on the day he broke through, he disappeared from this world, and no one has ever seen him again.
Lin Sheng began to practice with his father at the age of seven, at the age of eight he cultivated his innate true qi and became a real martial artist, three years later, that is, when he was ten years old, he broke through to the realm of the fighting master, and became the first person in the family to break through to the young and contemporary generations, and now at the age of sixteen, he has cultivated to the peak of the late stage of the martial master, and there is a possibility of breaking through to the realm of martial arts at any time! Far behind the same generation. This made him the only one in the Lin family who had the opportunity to cultivate the Lin family's Xuangong to the extreme, the Lin family's Xuangong has been passed down for many generations, but no one has cultivated it to the Dacheng realm, the ancestors of the Lin family once left a sentence, that is, those who can cultivate the Xuangong to the martial spirit realm before the age of seventeen have the opportunity to cultivate the Lin family's Xuangong to the Dacheng realm. Therefore, when Lin Sheng cultivated Xuangong to the late stage of martial arts at the age of sixteen, he was already destined for his transcendent status in the Lin family.
However, how did such a proud son of heaven now become an outcast who was abandoned by his family in the wilderness?
The matter has to be traced back to the Immortal Spirit Continent Youth Powerhouse Tournament held by the Chu State three months ago. As one of the three kingdoms with the widest territory and the strongest strength in the Immortal Spirit Continent, Chu State has to hold such a youth powerhouse competition almost every year, and the so-called heroes do not ask where they come from, no matter what country they are, as long as they are at least 16 years old and not more than 23 years old, they are eligible to participate. The purpose is obvious, naturally it is to develop and win over the strong people of the younger generation, so that they can serve the country. Lin Sheng, as the first young master of the Lin family and the only son of Lin Yihe, the head of the Lin family, is naturally the absolute main force in this strong competition.
Lin Sheng did not disappoint the family either, and several games were one-trick defeats, and finally advanced to the top 10 and entered the semifinals with a landslide victory. The major families are also very optimistic about this rising star. However, it was on the first day of the semi-finals......
The sun is nearly dusk, the sun is shining, the sky is full of blood-colored fire clouds, occasionally three or two geese fly by, but it is only red mixed with a few points of ash, and fade away in a hurry. After several days of continuous competition, he didn't meet a real opponent, and he couldn't stretch his fists and feet, which made Lin Sheng feel bored, and he was looking up at the sky with a bitter melon face. Suddenly, there was the sound of broken footsteps behind him.
"Brother Sheng", a girl in a plain white dress appeared behind Lin Sheng.
"Hmm" Lin Sheng turned around.
"It's the snow, come here, do you see that the sky is a little different today than usual?" said without saying anything, pulled the girl to his side, and gently scratched the girl's handsome little nose with his middle finger. A bitter gourd face turned into Maitreya Buddha in the blink of an eye, laughing as if it was cramping.
"Alas, don't make trouble! Brother Sheng, the Great Elder and Uncle Lin told you to hurry up. The girl stomped her foot in shame and said coquettishly.
"What do you want me to do, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, if you go, you'll know. β
"You wait for me, I'll come when I go. Don't run around, it's a crowded place, it's not safe. After saying that, he scraped the girl's pretty nose again. After only walking three steps, he turned around and said, "You must wait for me!" Seeing that the girl blushed and nodded shyly, she turned around and strode away.
This girl is Xiao Zongxue, the daughter of Lin Sheng's father Lin Xiaohe's friend. The Xiao family was originally one of the four major families, which were the Dali Duan family, the Nanling Xiao family, the Nanshan Liu family and the North Zhenglin family. But ten years ago, the Xiao family was involved in that earth-shattering melee for no reason, and was tragically destroyed. Lin Yi He killed the four masters in a row, but only saved Xiao Zongxue who was hiding in a dry well. I thought she was my goddaughter, she had been living in the Lin family, and she was deeply loved by Lin's father and mother, and she grew up with Lin Sheng since she was a child.
Lin Sheng straightened his clothes and walked quickly into the conference hall.
"Great Elder, Father," Lin Sheng saluted.
"Sheng'er, you're here. Come... Come... Come... Sit... Sit... As soon as he entered the door, Lin Sheng felt that something was wrong, and the Great Elder, who had never liked to talk, actually took the initiative to speak.
"Your father and I are in such a hurry to come to you, mainly because we have something to discuss with you..."
"What's the matter, Great Elder, please say. When Lin Sheng saw what the Great Elder said and stopped, he knew that there must be no good thing.
"Ahem... Cough... Cough... Your father will tell you personally!" he turned around.
"What happened to my father, please tell me directly!"
Lin Yihe said with a sad face: "Sheng'er, this time in the Young Strong Competition, the match between you and Liu Ran of the Liu family, you can't win, you must lose under Liu Ran." β
"Why, father... Don't you have confidence in the child? I will definitely be able to defeat my opponent and enter the finals and win the championship for the Lin family. A shame before the snow, let the Lin family rise again. β
"Ahem... Cough... Cough... Lin Sheng, things are not as simple as you think, even if you defeat Liu Ran and win the championship, what is the use? The Lin family has been behind several major families for decades. It's easier said than done. The operation of the Lin family has become a problem, and the Lin family is now in urgent need of money. And not a champion of young powerhouses. This time, the young powerhouse Sai Liujia has promised us that as long as this game is won by Liu Ran, he will provide a large amount of funds for our Lin family. We need this money now, and we want to use this money to make the Lin family rise anew. The Great Elder turned around and continued.
"But... I..."Lin Sheng was about to retort.
"Okay, Sheng'er, I know it's a bit difficult for you, you have to remember that it's a piece of gold, it will always shine, and it's not a big deal to lose this championship. In addition, your marriage to Zongxue, as long as... Okay, I won't say more, you go down first. When the time comes, it's time to act on the opportunity. β
"But, I... I..."
"Enough, Sheng'er, listen to the father, go down first!"
"Yes, the father and the child are gone. Lin Sheng has always respected his father, but this time Lin Sheng was a little disappointed in his father, but he still obeyed his father's words and withdrew from the council hall. Just out of the chamber.
"Brother Sheng, what is Uncle Lin looking for you?" Lin Sheng was still thinking about his father's words at this time. was startled by Xiao Zongxue's shouting.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that Xiao Zongxue was puffing out a puddle of water, looking at himself with concern. Xintian said in an ambiguous stream: "Didn't I ask you to wait for me there?
"I'm not running around, hum... I saw the prize of the champion of the Strong Tournament just now, but it's a pity! You left just now, and it was personally refined by the most mysterious Hesan real person in the Refining Weapon Sect. Giggle... Giggle... There is also a real medicine stone inlaid on it, which is not necessarily available even in the royal family. β
"True Medicine Stone! You mean that the True Medicine Stone produced in the snow veins of the Tianshan Mountains can avoid all poisons. This was so shocking that Lin Sheng almost couldn't control his emotions.
"I knew that you would be so excited, just now the disciples of the Refining Weapon Sect were still boasting to everyone, saying something: within a thousand days, there is no end to everything. That's why it was named: "Qiankun End" can be heard, and Xue'er loves that "Qiankun End" very much.
"Alright... I know you're greedy. When I win tomorrow, I'll give you a gift for your coming-of-age ceremony this year. β
"Hey... Brother Sheng, I knew you would do it! Let's go, Cher will take you to see something. With a red face, he pulled Lin Sheng to his room.
"What is it! so mysterious, well... Xue'er, slow down, don't fall..."Before she finished speaking, Xue'er had already pulled Lin Sheng to her room.
What the hell is it, so mysterious. Lin Sheng didn't know what this Xue'er was going to do, only to see Xiao Zongxue take out a sandalwood box from her bag, it seemed that it had been some years. Inside the box was a jade carved palm, with a black ring on its middle finger. Xiao Zongxue took the ring from the jade palm and handed it to Lin Sheng. Lin Sheng took Rong Zhi suspiciously, and suddenly a soft true power entered Lin Sheng's body from the ring.
"It's... Could it beβ" He said and cast a skeptical look at Cher
"Brother Sheng's good eyesight, yes, this is Runhuai, there is also a real medicine stone on it, wearing it, not only can it not be invaded, but if the internal force is consumed during the fight, it can also accelerate the recovery of internal force. Brother Sheng, you can wear this to the competition tomorrow!"
"No, Xue'er, this Runhuai ring was left to you by your father, and it is also a token of the patriarch of your Xiao family, how can you give it to me casually, you better keep it!"
"The Xiao family has long been defeated, Xue'er's skills are low, and it's useless to take it, so you can take it! Moreover... I... Morning and evening... Also... Forest... Lin Family... After speaking, Xiu's face seemed to be smeared with a layer of morning glow, and the last sentence was said intermittently, and the voice was so small that only mosquitoes could hear it. But Lin Sheng is the mosquito now, he can hear Xue'er's last sentence clearly, his heart is ecstatic, and he is moved, and he hugs Xue'er with a red face. said emotionally: "Xue'er, you are so good!" At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to care about the Liu family and the prince. In any case, this game must win!
