“Sure enough, it’s him.” Li Changqing looked shocked.

These sect masters were not the most important figures in the southern region. However, despite their high status, they had never made such a big fuss. They did not even have many followers.

“Who is this?”

Other than Li Changqing, there were also a few people made the same expression showing that how everything explained itself.

“Lin Jian!”

“This person is Lin Jian.”

Lin Jian was an extremely monstrous figure in the southern region. Although he did not belong to any force, no sect had looked down on him. This was because when Lin Jian was at his most powerful period, he had once challenged all the sects in the southern region, he had single-handedly challenged the sect leader of a large sect. Although he had lost several times, this also proved that his strength was not to be underestimated. If it was an ordinary person, forget challenging the entire southern region, any sect would be able to crush him.

Lin Jian not only did it, but also survived.

Li Changqing was one of those who had been defeated by him. Hence, he was very familiar with Lin Jian’s sword.

“It’s Lin Jian, that kid.”

Qing xuzi stroked his beard. Lin Jian and him had fought before, but Lin Jian was defeated. However, Lin Jian had injuries on his body at that point of time, and Qing Xuzi would have been in a period of complete victory. Although he had won, it was an unfair victory. Qing Xuzi had a very high opinion of Lin Jian, he was a sword genius with extremely monstrous talent. At that time, Qing Xuzi had wanted to take Lin Jian in as his disciple, but Lin Jian rejected him.

All these years, the only person he encountered who was almost as talented as Lin Jian was Xuan Yi.

“I’m afraid, in terms of talent, only Elder Xuan in our sect can match him!” Qing Xuzi said slowly.

Xuan Yi and the others had seen him before and knew his mysteriousness. However, they still felt that it was a little exaggerating when compared Xuan Yi and Lin Jian. Xuan Yi was indeed powerful, but Lin Jian was the one they were truly afraid. This person had entered the path by killing, he had challenged countless sects for ten years, and he had occupied first place on the trial tower’s stone tablet for ten years. Was Xuan Yi a genius? Of course, but Xuan Yi did not have the strength to challenge all the sects in the southern region. He might not even be able to defeat the sect leader of the Xuan Sword sect.

Furthermore, in these ten years, the southern region had produced many geniuses, yet Lin Jian was still ranked first on the stone tablet.

The Tianzhen sect’s reincarnated genius five years ago, only ranked tenth.

The Myriad Beast Sect’s reincarnated beast emperor was only ranked sixth.

And the Xuan Sword sect’s strongest was only ranked outside of the 100th.

Every time Qing Xuzi thought of this, he would not even have the mood to go into seclusion.

In the past thousands of years, who knew how many people had passed through the trial tower, but not a single person from the Xuan Sword sect was able to enter the top 100.

From this, it could be seen that Lin Jian was indeed a monster. After all, not only did he make it impossible for the later generations to defeat him, he had also trampled all those peerless geniuses and monsters under his feet in the past thousands of years.

The sedan chair was getting closer and closer. The sect masters of the various sects all looked over at the same time.

“Tramp”

The sedan chair landed on the ground. The curtain of Lin Jian’s sedan chair was lifted, revealing a face that was filled with an evil aura.

“Everyone is here?”

Hearing Lin Jian’s voice, the various sect masters turned their heads. These were the people who had been defeated by Lin Jian.

There were also some who did not like to talk to Lin Jian. Lin Jian was a genius, so he was naturally domineering and did not think these sect masters mattered. Once he said something that was not overboard, then these sect masters would be fighting back, as if they did not have any magnanimity, however, if they did not fight back, they would be angry by Lin Jian’s Qi again.

“Lin Jian, what are you doing here?”

“Of course I’m here for the imperial level inheritance.” Lin Jian yawned lazily.

“Imperial level inheritance? That is a legendary existence. It’s not like you haven’t entered this trial tower before. If there is an imperial level inheritance inside, didn’t you already get it long time ago?” The eyes of the Tianzhen sect’s sect master lit up, Li Changqing’s heart was filled with pride. Back then, when he lost to Lin Jian, he was very unconvinced. However, if there was an imperial level inheritance, then defeating Lin Jian could be said to be an easy feat.

Lin Jian stared at the trial tower. “I did pass through the trial tower, but every time, I was sent out before I could enter the third floor.”

Qing Xuzi frowned. “So, you think there’s an imperial level inheritance on the third floor?”

“Of course, no one has been able to enter the third floor for thousands of years!”

The sect masters were very familiar with the trial tower. The first floor tested the disciples’ reactions, and the second floor tested their willpower. Over the years, no one had stepped into the third floor. They didn’t even believe that there was a third floor.

“The third floor?” Yin Xuan stroked the small skull hanging by his waist, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

If there really was such a so-called imperial level inheritance, then their Yin Corpse sect could almost become the number one sect in the southern region. Such a legendary existence was similar to the legendary ancient great gods. He could imagine that if they had an imperial level inheritance, how much of an improvement would it bring to a sect? Even if it didn’t fall into the hands of the Yin Corpse sect, then they definitely couldn’t let other sects obtain it. Otherwise, the Yin Corpse Sect, as an evil sect, would definitely be the first to be wiped out.

“Of course, I’m just guessing, whether there is an imperial level inheritance or not, I don’t know.” Lin Jian said with a smile.

Qing Xuzi frowned. Lin Jian’s words were a bit strange. First, he threw out the imperial level inheritance, then he said he didn’t know if there was one. What was his purpose? If there really was one, then he didn’t need to mention it. It would be great if he could get the imperial level inheritance by himself, so there was only one possibility, there was a high probability that there was an imperial level inheritance in there, but Lin Jian could not obtain it by himself. Therefore, he wanted to use this method to get the help of these old geezer, or to make use of these old freaks.

He subconsciously touched his beard. If that was the case, then these old freaks might not be able to resist the temptation of the imperial level inheritance and might be used by Lin Jian. However, Qing Xuzi did not say anything, this was because he was also very interested in this imperial level inheritance. He signalled to the few elders behind him. The few elders did not understand, but they were still alerted by Qing Xuzi’s action.

“Then why are you here? Are you going to enter the trial tower?”

Lin Jian smiled slightly, “That’s right. When the people in the trial tower come out, see if there are any with good talent. Take a disciple, go in and see if there is a possibility to enter the third floor.”

Take a disciple?

Didn’t Lin Jian know that all the disciples in the trial tower were disciples of the major sects?

Trying to snatch their disciples right in their faces? Moreover, depending on their talents.

This was a bit too arrogant.

Lin Jian’s arrogance made the people of the various sects snort.

In front of the stone tablet, Lin Jian looked at the first place and said with a smile, “It’s been ten years. It seems that there aren’t many talented people in the various sects.”

Ten years ago, Lin Jian was only half way through his golden elixir phase. But now, he was unpredictable for many sect masters. This was then a true genius, a monster.

After ten years, no one could still break Lin Jian’s record. This made the people from the various sects lose face.

Especially when Lin Jian was such an arrogant person. Every word he said was very unpleasant to hear.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to take in a disciple this time.”
