Chapter 942 Great Dao Hidden King Token

Miss Le met Lin Xun’s gaze and nodded calmly. “That’s right.”

“Why?” Lin Xun was puzzled.

Miss Le smiled slightly, her lips curling in a beautiful arc and her teeth sparkling. “If I guessed correctly, you and I are the same in that we have no choice but to cross the boundary river because of some disturbance.”

Lin Xun narrowed his dark eyes and then smiled. “That’s correct.”

Miss Le raised the wine glass again, clinked it against Lin Xun’s glass and finished it in one go. A faint blush came into her pale face, making her more beautiful.

Her eyes glistened as she said, “We have the same misfortune so I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding between us.” 

Lin Xun exclaimed, “Miss has a pure heart and is also extremely careful and cautious. I can’t help having great respect and admiration for you.”

He suspected that she had already seen through his identity, but he was happy that she did not expose him. 

Miss Le sat upright, exuding an air of elegance. “To tell you the truth, I had some selfish intentions when I talked to you. I hope to cooperate with you.”

“Cooperate?”

“Yes, you already know that I am being hunted down. And given the strength of Kou Xing and the others, they are no match for them.” She continued, “So, I want to ask you for your help.”

“Miss, aren’t you thinking too highly of me?”

Miss Le stared directly at Lin Xun with her clear eyes, “Young master, you are too modest. Many people in this world might underestimate you but not me. On the contrary, in my opinion, given your ability, you are strong enough to create your own world in the East Victory World.”

Her words took Lin Xun aback. This woman must have already seen through my identity, otherwise, how would she say that with such certainty?

“Of course, we only met by chance, and this is the first time we have worked together. To show my sincerity, I would like to give this item to you as a gift. Young Master, I believe you will like it.” As Miss Le was speaking, she brought out something in her fair and slender hand. 

It was a token shaped like a flying sword. The design was ancient and simple, but it was engraved with dao runes. It radiated a feeling of age and history. 

“This is?”

From one glance, Lin Xun could tell that the item was extraordinary and that it had been around for a long, long time. Moreover, it was engraved with real dao runes, which were rarely seen. 

“Young Master, have you not heard of the Great Dao Hidden King Token?” Miss Le sounded a little surprised. 

Lin Xun shook his head. He indeed hadn’t.

Miss Le thought for a moment, as though she was relieved, and said, “In ancient times, there was an extremely glorious period when the entire world was peaceful, the dao flourished, thousands of clans stood tall, and hundreds of sects contended...

“That period can also be called a great age. Talents and geniuses emerged all over the world like a school of carp moving downstream, showing off their brilliance.

“It was at that time that the Genius Gold Rankings, which sparked competition among all heroes in the world, descended upon the world.

“It is well known in the world that only the names of those who made it onto the Genius Gold Rankings can be truly called real geniuses. The other so-called talented geniuses in the world will eventually be eliminated.”

Lin Xun listened intently. 

He knew that since Miss Le told him that, it meant that the Great Dao Hidden King Token she mentioned had something to do with the Battle of the Great Age or perhaps the Genius Gold Rankings.  

As expected, the next moment Miss Le said aloud, “The Genius Gold Rankings had so great an influence that it affected the future and structure of the entire younger generation. Even the clans and sects in the Hidden Holy Land couldn’t sit still.

“Then, there was the birth of the Great Dao Hidden King Token.”

Lin Xun was taken aback. The story shifted so fast that he couldn’t react for a while.

But Miss Le continued to explain, “The Great Dao Hidden King Token is a means to recruit genius disciples for one’s own sect and clan. Anyone able to make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings and possess this token will have a chance to enter and train in a certain sect or clan in the Hidden Holy Land.”

Lin Xun’s face lit up with understanding, while his heart quivered. 

The hidden Holy Land was the most mysterious place in the world. It didn’t just refer to a certain place, but it was a collective name for the sects that were secluded from the world. 

What was considered a Hidden Holy Land?

A place outside of the secular world where Saints lived in seclusion!

Such forces were more mysterious and transcendent than the ancient sects known to the world. All of them had a terrifying foundation, and all of them had been standing since ancient times!

For example, the Great Zen Temple, known as the Little Western World, was an extremely mysterious ancient Buddhist land in the Hidden Holy Land.

Not even cultivators would have a chance to see such mysterious ancient sects let alone ordinary mortals. They were as transcendent and mysterious as the immortal sects that stood above the dome of heaven. 

Of course, the foundation of ancient sects such as the Omega Sword Sect was not necessarily inferior to that of Hidden Holy Land. 

It was like the difference between light and darkness. One stood tall in the world and had a mighty presence, while the other lived in seclusion yet still enjoyed a lofty status. 

The only difference between them might be that because there were so many ancient sects in the present world, inevitably some were good and some were bad, and their foundations were also very different.

But it was different in the Hidden Holy Land. Any one of the sects there possessed a foundation that could rival any one of the top sects in the world!

This was Lin Xun’s understanding. But he was still in the dark as to how many Hidden Holy Lands there were in the Ancient Wasteland Domain or how many ancient sects existed in the Hidden Holy Lands. 

However, he was surprised to learn that anyone able to make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings would have the opportunity to train in a certain sect of the Hidden Holy Land by holding the Great Dao Hidden King Token. 

From what he knew, the Hidden Holy Land never accepted disciples from the outside world. Their disciples were almost all people who grew up in the Hidden Holy Land.

……

After digesting all the new information for a while, Lin Xun couldn’t help but exclaim, “I never thought that there are such strict conditions in recruiting successors in the Hidden Holy Land.”

Miss Le said with a smile, “The older the sect is, the stricter it is in how they select disciples. As they say, the so-called Dao should not be revealed, and the art should not be passed on lightly.

“For example, in the sect I belong to, one has to undergo many strict screenings and tests of character, mind, disposition and comprehension before one can inherit the mantle. Some tests even look at one’s talent, bloodline and intelligence.

“Simply speaking, if you want to obtain a strong inheritance, you need to have the ability to match it.”

Lin Xun inhaled sharply. “Then the disciples who receive the inheritance after being screened in such a way must have heaven-defying abilities, is that right?”

“Heaven defying?”

Miss Le smiled, nodded and said, “That‘s right. I have met a real Chosen. He was a descendant of the Bifang Clan. When he was born, he set off visions across heaven and earth, and he grasped rare natural powers.

“I have also seen spirit entities and freaks born between heaven and earth and nurtured by the natural blessings of the world. Their talents and foundation would make most of today’s geniuses feel despair.”

Lin Xun was speechless for a while. There is always someone better than you. 

“Isn’t that a huge blow?”

Miss Le blinked her eyes and smiled as if she understood how he felt. “I grew up in such an environment, and I have long been used to it.

“If Yu Lingkong is in the Hidden Holy Land, what kind of character will he be?” Lin Xun asked curiously.

Miss Le took a deep look at Lin Xun as if she had expected him to ask such a question. “Yu Lingkong was born in a family of Saints, and he trained in the Longevity Land. Both his foundation and talent are considered top-notch even in the Hidden Holy Land.”

After a pause, she continued, “However, there are quite a few people like him in every Hidden Holy Land.

“Of course, compared to the majority, Yu Lingkong is already top-notch. It depends who he is compared with.”

Miss Le frowned and said thoughtfully, “Actually, I know only the surface level. Every Hidden Holy Land in this world has an unknown and terrifying background and foundation. But one thing is certain: Hidden Holy Lands have existed since ancient times and the fact that they have stood tall through the changes of the ages indicated that their solid foundation mustn’t be underestimated!”

“The Hidden Holy Land really is worthy of its reputation...” Lin Xun marveled.

Listening to the words of a wise person was superior to ten years of studying. He had never heard of these secrets before.

“Young Master, in my opinion, given your strength and potential, you are not inferior to anyone else in the world. The only thing you lack may be this item.” As Miss Le spoke in a solemn voice, she held up the Great Dao Hidden King Token.

“With this, you will have the opportunity to enter and train in a certain sect in the Hidden Holy Land. Then, at least, in the future, even if you offend some forces, you won’t have to worry about blatant retaliation and revenge.”

Lin Xun understood that Miss Le said so much because she wanted to explain to him that the Great Dao Hidden King Token gave him the opportunity to find a powerful backer!

Of course, it was only an opportunity. Whether or not he could seize it depended on whether he would fight for it.

This gift touched Lin Xun. 

He had been hunted down all over the West Infinity World and had been targeted by many ancient sects. Why?

He was alone and had no support and backing, so the enemies brazenly tried to suppress him. 

If he could join a sect in the Hidden Holy Land then his identity would change, and he would no longer be alone. Whoever wanted to target him in the future would have to weigh up whether it was worth offending the sect behind him first!

The Great Dao Hidden King Token was an opportunity to change his identity and get closer to a towering tree!

Miss Le might have noticed this so she brought out this item as a gift. She was very sincere, and any other cultivator likely wouldn’t decline the gift. 

Lin Xun mulled it over. He was also tempted. 

But he also understood that if he accepted it, it would most likely affect his future path and perhaps even his cultivation. 

Therefore, he had to consider it carefully first.
