Chapter 1617: The Most Outstanding Individual

Zhao Jingxuan stood at the top of the city. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and her figure was slender.

She was also waiting.

The morning light shone on her clear and beautiful face, giving it a soft and holy luster.

When she saw the Grand Universe Ark, speeding from the horizon and gradually getting bigger, her previously worried heart gradually calmed down.

And in her beautiful eyes, there was a dazzling luster.

They’ve come back!

An indescribable feeling of relief, excitement, and joy surged into her heart like a tide, and a smile appeared on her lips.

That sort of appearance looked particularly bright in the morning light.

"They’ve come back!"

An extremely excited exclamation sounded in the City of Protection.

Immediately, the whole city boiled over, and countless figures who had been waiting anxiously stretched out their necks and peered into the distance. When they saw the Grand Universe Ark approaching through the clouds, they couldn\'t help but cheer.

On the Grand Universe Ark, when Lin Xun, Toady, A’lu, Shaohao, Ruowu and the others saw such a scene, they looked at each other and smiled. Their moods also soared.

…

On this day, there was a sensation in the Ancient Wasteland Camp. The news about the other eight domain camps being wiped out was like a storm, completely shocking all the powerful experts from the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

"Hahaha, we won. This Conflict of the Nine Domains, we, the Ancient Wasteland Domain, have won!"

Some people laughed wildly and ran gleefully on the streets, ecstatic.

"All the hatred and shame from the ancient times are finally over today. Such a happy moment, such a happy moment! Bring me some wine!"

Some people trembled with excitement.

"WAHHHHHHH! Senior Brother and Senior Sister, if you could see this wherever you are, please rest in peace!"

Some people sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Someone complimented Lin Xun generously, "He fought on the battlefield, and his sword once cleaved down millions! Senior Lin\'s achievements will be immortalized in history and will be remembered by generations to come!"

"This is the true mannerism of a leader. He is the genius of a region, the backbone of the world! Something like this has never been seen even in ancient times, and only Senior Lin is capable of this!”

"Using his own power to turn the tide and defeat all enemies in the eight domains. There are eighty thousand sages in ancient and modern times, but only one person can lead the way!"

Countless voices resounded in the city for a long time.

The comments about Lin Xun were all unabashedly full of admiration, enthusiasm, and even fanaticism.

Everyone knew that from the first Conflict of the Nine Domains to the present, if it were not for Lin Xun, there would never have been today’s great victory for the Ancient Wasteland Camp!

After all, hadn’t he fought for thirty thousand miles, overwhelming an entire city so much that no one could leave?

After all, hadn’t he slaughtered all of the enemies who had come when the army of the seven domains came to besiege their lonely city?

After all, hadn’t he killed his way through the trap that was set for him by the Black Cliff Sea?

After all, hadn’t he bulldozed his way through the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, causing the other supreme Saints to fall like rain?

After all...

Lin Xun had so many illustrious and shocking deeds, and every single one of them was miraculous enough to amaze the world!

…

That night, in the main hall where Lin Xun was, people were drinking and laughing.

How many times can one laugh joyously in life? And how many times can one drink with pleasure with one’s friends?

It was not until early in the morning that all the guests and friends dispersed gradually.

The courtyard was now empty and bright, and Xia Zhi was sitting quietly in front of the stone steps. The brim of the hat that covered her face had been lifted, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that could make the world look dim in comparison.

Even Zhao Jingxuan was dazed when she accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene and felt a little shocked in her heart.

So beautiful!

This kind of beauty, from the inside out, was as exquisite as a perfect masterpiece made from the heavens, and no one could find a single flaw.

She sat there casually with bright eyes and white teeth, black eyebrows, and a quiet, ethereal, and cold temperament. She was dressed in a black robe with wide sleeves, which made her skin look as white and tender as pure tofu.

While looking at her, a phrase suddenly flashed in Zhao Jingxuan\'s mind: “There is a beautiful woman here, alone and independent. Her beauty can cause the downfall of a city and an empire.”

Lin Xun\'s heart suddenly began to beat violently. He hadn\'t seen her for more than ten years, yet she had unexpectedly turned into a true, peerless beauty!

"You guys can chat; I\'m going to rest first."

After snapping out of it, Zhao Jingxuan turned around and left, but when she returned to her room, she felt quite uneasy.

In the past, Xia Zhi was just a beautiful girl who was fresh, unique, and graceful. In Zhao Jingxuan\'s heart, she had always regarded her as a sister-like character.

But tonight, she had realized for the first time that Xia Zhi was no longer the same Xia Zhi as before. After all these years, she had become even more alluringly beautiful.

This kind of beauty made Zhao Jingxuan tremble, amazed, and shocked.

If she hadn\'t seen Xia Zhi with her own eyes, Zhao Jingxuan wouldn\'t have believed that there was such a beautiful person in this world. In fact, as a woman herself, she couldn\'t help but feel ashamed.

"Fortunately, she has been hiding her appearance. Otherwise, which man in the world wouldn’t be fascinated by her?"

Zhao Jingxuan sighed in her heart as she sat in front of her bed. From beginning to end, she had never thought about competing with Xia Zhi.

Because she knew that in Lin Xun\'s heart, Xia Zhi was like a younger sister to him, and the two of them had been together long ago.

But now, Zhao Jingxuan was a little unsure.

Then immediately, she burst into laughter. What was wrong with her? Was she getting anxious over nothing because she cared too much?

After a period of time, Zhao Jingxuan murmured to herself, "Alright, as long as he doesn\'t disappoint me, then it’s fine."

In the courtyard, Lin Xun and Xia Zhi sat side by side, just like they had in Feiyun Village in the distant past. Everything felt peaceful and quiet.

Lin Xun suddenly realized that every time he was with Xia Zhi, he never felt any worries or distracting thoughts.

It felt like there were only the two of them left in the world.

Suddenly, Xia Zhi said, "Lin Xun, I\'m leaving soon."

Her voice was as clear and calm as before, as sweet as the sound of nature.

"Leave?"

Lin Xun was startled.

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, in all these years, I have been fighting in the darkness, dying and transforming from my battles. Only recently did I get the power to leave the darkness.

"I came to you this time because I could sense your aura, so I had to come. I\'m very happy to see you safe and sound. Well, it\'s the first time in all these years that I’ve been so happy."

A sound as clear as pure spring water resounded in the night.

Lin Xun looked at Xia Zhi\'s side profile, and suddenly there was an unspeakable feeling of pity in his heart. What had she experienced in all these years?

He was silent for a moment before he said, "Where are you going this time...?"

Xia Zhi responded, "That is my own battlefield. If I want to cultivate the Nine Cycles of Obliteration Art, that is the only place where I can achieve nirvana."

Lin Xun took a deep breath and said, "Actually, you don\'t have to go. With my current strength, I definitely won’t let you experience any hardships."

He really didn\'t want Xia Zhi to fight alone again!

Xia Zhi shook her head and said, "After this last cycle, I learned some things, which are related to the both of us. I must become very strong."

Lin Xun frowned, vaguely sensing that something was wrong. It sounded as if she had perceived some kind of incredible danger, forcing her to go all out to become stronger.

And this danger was most likely related to himself and not Xia Zhi!

"What on earth is going on?" Lin Xun couldn\'t help but ask.

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment and then said, "I can see the sky collapsing and the earth falling behind you. There is a confusing fog blocking the way forward. Thousands of deaths and calamities are all coming for you alone."

Lin Xun instantly felt something exploding in his mind, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he immediately remembered that the old seer at the stargazing platform had said something similar when he was in the Ziyao Empire!

However, the old seer had not mentioned either death or calamity.

Did Xia Zhi see an omen of something?

"You...believe this?"

After a while, Lin Xun calmed down and said, "One must face thousands of tribulations if one wants to seek the dao. It doesn’t matter who you are in the world; it is inevitable. Since I have chosen this path, then I only need to face the difficulties head on. If you are worried about this, let me tell you that you don’t have to, let alone force yourself to do things you don’t like.”

Xia Zhi said without hesitation, "It doesn\'t matter whether I like it or not. Now that I know about it, I must help you resolve it. This is my destiny."

Lin Xun frowned, "Fate? Destiny? I have never believed in stuff like that!"

Xia Zhi retorted, "But if there is no fate or destiny, then how could the two of us have met? Why am I only willing to let you, out of everyone else in the universe, in my world? Furthermore, I am only willing to do things for you. As for everyone else, I don’t care about them, and I don’t want to care about them either.”

Lin Xun gazed at Xia Zhi\'s serious face and was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Can you choose to stay for me?"

Xia Zhi shook her head. "No, Lin Xun. Haven’t you said before that as long as it’s not a matter of life or death then there’s no real separation? I\'m just leaving temporarily. In the future, I will definitely stay by your side forever.”

For a moment, Lin Xun didn\'t know what to say.

Was he angry?

But Xia Zhi was doing this for his own good.

Was he happy?

Not at all!

He, Lin Xun, had risen from humble beginnings and had become an almost invincible existence in the Nine Domains Battlefield. In the Supreme Saint Stage, he stood out amongst all others.

But now, he had discovered that there were some things that even he couldn\'t do anything about.

For example, whether or not Xia Zhi would stay by his side or leave!

"Is it because I\'m not strong enough?" Lin Xun murmured.

Wasn’t the Supreme Saint Stage powerful? Yet, even at this level, he couldn\'t stop and resolve that disaster that Xia Zhi had mentioned?

Xia Zhi turned her face to the side and stared at Lin Xun with eyes as luminous as the stars in the sky. She then said seriously, "No, you are already very powerful, but there are many things in this world that are aimed especially at people like you.

"And what I\'m talking about is still very far away. It\'s best this way, so that I have enough time to prepare the means to deal with it."

At this point in the conversation, Lin Xun fully understood that Xia Zhi\'s decision could no longer be changed, which made him feel sad.

How strong did he need to be such that Xia Zhi didn’t have to leave so decisively because of his own affairs?

Become a Saint-King?

Or an Emperor?

Suddenly, an indescribable emotion stirred within Lin Xun\'s heart.

He turned around, looked into Xia Zhi\'s eyes, and said, "One day, I will make sure you never have to leave again, forever!"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her flawless and beautiful face.

That smile was like the brightest light in the world, dimming the night and eclipsing everything else in the world.
