On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

"What's wrong, Lin Xuan?"

Seeing Lin Xuan staring blankly into space, Nangong Yue asked him curiously.

Lin Xuan realized what was happening, pinched the bridge of his nose, and shook his head.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Qiyue looks a bit like someone, but I just can't remember who it is."

Lin Xuan felt somewhat flustered. He was a Golden Immortal, with an incredibly powerful memory and a soul power approaching that of an Immortal King. How could there be such a thing as not being able to remember?

Nangong Yue looked at Lin Xuan with some confusion, but didn't say anything.

Nangong Qingyi suddenly spoke up: "That Qiyue is very strong, Lin Xuan, you must not be careless."

“I know, I can sense that Qiyue has a different kind of temperament than others.”

Lin Xuan didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling towards this person named Qiyue.

At this moment, Qiyue, who was sitting in her seat, also sensed several gazes on her and suddenly looked towards Lin Xuan and the others.

Lin Xuan and Qi Yue's eyes met.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Qi Yue gave him a deep look before looking away.

"What's wrong, junior brother?"

The eldest disciple of the Divine Weapon Immortal King, who is also Qi Yue's senior brother, also noticed Qi Yue's unusual behavior.

"It's alright, Senior Brother. I just saw an interesting person."

"Oh?"

The senior brother was somewhat surprised. The ones that Qiyue found interesting were probably the experts that the other major forces would be sending out this time.

"This Qiyue is really something else. The look in her eyes just now, calm and composed yet with a strong sense of confidence, she's very impressive."

Nangong Yue frowned slightly; she wasn't confident she could defeat Qi Yue.

"There is one last power: the Haori Immortal Kingdom."

Lin Xuan looked at the last designated area on the main seat, which was the location where the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom was stationed.

At this time, there were only a dozen or so people in the territory of the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom. The leader was wearing a yellow robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it. The five-clawed golden dragon was one of the top five dragons in the dragon race, and it was extremely powerful. Most immortal kingdoms also liked to use the five-clawed golden dragon as the symbol of their country.

"This person must be Haotian."

Lin Xuan looked at the person in the main seat and said with a smile.

"Yes, that person is Haotian, the crown prince of Haori Immortal Kingdom. He became a Golden Immortal eight thousand years ago. It is said that he may have reached the Second Tribulation Golden Immortal Realm. If he has really reached the Second Tribulation Heavenly Immortal Realm, then none of us will be his match."

Nangong Yue's attitude towards Haotian was the clearest; she obviously regarded Haotian as her biggest opponent this time.

"Hehe, no big deal."

Lin Xuan didn't take it to heart. He had absolute confidence in himself in representing the Nangong family in this battle.

Unless there are other players in this group who are as overpowered as I am.

Either he is the chosen one in the vast universe, or if someone at the same level wants to fight me, that's just wishful thinking!

"Haha, looks like everyone's here!"

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Sun Hall, reaching the ears of everyone present.

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up.

Above the sky, a figure slowly descended. It was Jiang Wancheng, the master of Chengde Manor, the current leader of the Haori Alliance, and the Immortal King of Chengde.

"We pay our respects to the Immortal King of Chengde!"

Most people bowed respectfully to the Immortal King of Chengde.

Even Lei Chen, the sect leader of the Divine Thunder Sect, or the senior disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, bowed to Immortal King Chengde. Although the gesture was small, the proper etiquette had to be observed.

In the Immortal Realm, the Golden Immortal Realm and the Immortal King Realm are the first major watershed. Crossing this watershed means entering another level of life.

The power wielded by a Celestial King is terrifying beyond the imagination of a Golden Immortal. It manifests the laws of heaven and earth, elevates power, evolves bloodlines, and brings other benefits. As a result, the body and soul enter another level, and even the level of life itself becomes completely different.

The Nine Tribulations Golden Immortal Realm seems to be only one minor realm away from the Immortal King Realm, but this minor realm has stopped countless proud talents from dying.

"Stop hiding in the shadows and watching, all of you come out now. What, are you still thinking about who will be the last one to appear?!"

Chengde Xianwang laughed and cursed in the sky.

Several more figures appeared immediately.

Lei Zheng, the Divine Thunder Immortal King of the Divine Thunder Sect; Nangong Fu, the Overlord Spear Immortal King of the Nangong Family; and Duan Yuzhi, the Divine Weapon Immortal King.

From the royal side, the ruler of the Hao Ri Immortal Kingdom, Hao Yu Immortal King, also appeared.

This time, all the other immortal kings except Haoze Immortal King were in place!
"We greet all the Celestial Kings!"

Everyone bowed respectfully to Duan Yuzhi and the others once again.

"This gathering of ten thousand immortals is also a chance for us to exchange ideas on the Dao of our Haori Immortal Domain. We can sit and discuss the Dao, or we can demonstrate our skills. Although it is called the gathering of ten thousand immortals, it can also be called a banquet. So please do not be reserved, just do as you please, as long as you do not overstep the bounds!"

Chengde Immortal King's words were like a gentle breeze, and everyone agreed with them.

Only Lin Xuan frowned as he looked at the Immortal King of Chengde.

"Lin Xuan, what's wrong with you? I feel like you've been observing Immortal King Chengde ever since he appeared. Be careful, it's said that Immortal Kings have extremely strong perception. If Immortal King Chengde notices you, I'm afraid you'll be charged with a serious crime of disrespect!"

Nangong Yue tugged at Lin Xuan's sleeve and spoke through telepathy.

Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze. Since Lin Xuan's own soul power was also at the Immortal King level, as long as Lin Xuan observed discreetly and reduced the intensity of his observation, Immortal King Chengde would not be able to detect him.

"I feel there's something wrong with this Chengde Immortal King."

Lin Xuan couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that this Chengde Immortal King gave him a rather strange feeling.

Nangong Qingyi glanced at Chengde Immortal King with some doubt. His immortal robes fluttered, and every move he made exuded the demeanor and elegance of an immortal king. He looked like a highly respected elder.

However, Nangong Qingyi trusted Lin Xuan completely. If Lin Xuan said something was wrong, then it was highly likely that something really was wrong.

"Lin Xuan, have you sensed something?"

Nangong Qingyi approached Lin Xuan, and the two stood very close together.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that for now, let's just wait and see. I just feel like something's not right."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, not dwelling on it too much, because Lin Xuan was only at the first tribulation Golden Immortal realm at the moment. To deal with an Immortal King was basically equivalent to having a knife slit in his throat.

Several Celestial Kings gathered together, forming a circle consisting only of Celestial Kings.

Even Lei Chen, who was at the Ninth Tribulation Celestial Immortal Realm, Nangong Douluo, who was at the Eighth Tribulation Celestial Immortal Realm, and the deputy master of Chengde Manor, who was at the Eighth Tribulation Celestial Immortal Realm, were not qualified to participate. They were only one or two minor realms apart, but because of this difference, they were on two different levels.

"Let's keep it simple this time. Let's eliminate half of them first, and then the rest can fight it out."

"Hehe, let's proceed according to the original plan, a best-of-three system, that way it's fair for everyone."

"Yeah, I think so too. A best-of-three format would be simpler." "When does it start?"

"Then let's begin our battle in three days."

Chengde Immortal King looked at the sky and then said with a smile.

"Since the Immortal King of Chengde has said so, then so be it, let's go with this schedule."

The Thunder God Immortal Sect's patriarch, the Thunder Immortal King, nodded slightly, directly indicating his agreement.

Nangong Fu and Duan Yuzhi had no objections and immediately agreed, then turned around and returned to their respective plots of land.

Who are the three of us this time?

Nangong Fu looked at Nangong Douluo and asked.

"They are Nangong Yang, Nangong Yue, and... Lin Xuan."

Nangong Douluo immediately responded to Nangong Fu.

"I know Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue. They are your eldest and third brothers. They are indeed quite good. Among those under 100,000 years old, they are the only two who have reached the Golden Immortal realm. But who is this Lin Xuan, and why is his surname Lin?"

Nangong Fu looked at Nangong Douluo and asked.

Nangong Douluo immediately responded respectfully:
“Reporting to the Ancestor, this person is the Daoist partner of my thirty-sixth daughter, Nangong Qingyi. He is not yet 100,000 years old, but he has already reached the Golden Immortal Realm. Therefore, we have chosen him to be our third candidate.”

Lin Xuan sat in the middle, looking at the Overlord Spear Immortal King of the Nangong family with some curiosity.

Those who are skilled with guns, remember Lin Chang'an, he used to use a gun, but later switched to using a stick.

Nangong Fu looked up at Lin Xuan, and their eyes immediately met.

A current of electricity surged through him, and Lin Xuan felt an invisible pressure enveloping his body.

Nangong Fu looked at Lin Xuan with some surprise. How could a guy who had just entered the Golden Immortal Realm withstand his power?

"Alright, now that you've made your choice, I'll see what the final result is."

Nangong Fu didn't go up to say anything to Lin Xuan, he simply left with this sentence and sat down in the main seat.

Nangong Douluo let out a long breath and then sat down in the third seat.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, the Ancestor must have been testing you just now.”

Nangong Yue was sitting next to Lin Xuan, and naturally she could also feel some of the pressure from the Immortal King.

Lin Xuan smiled upon hearing this.

"Of course I know."

"The ancestor must have a good impression of you. Don't think that the ancestor hasn't said anything to you. Let me tell you, in tens of thousands of years, I've only spoken three sentences to the ancestor, which don't add up to more than fifty words."

Nangong Yue smiled and shook her head as she spoke.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle; he hadn't expected that the patriarch of the Nangong family would be such a ruthless person.

It's clear that among the entire Nangong family, only the patriarch and the First Elder can actually exchange a few words with Nangong Fu. Even the Second Elder, Nangong Qiu, sits to the side without saying a word, completely unable to participate.

Although Nangong Fu did not continue to test Lin Xuan, he was greatly shocked.

Nangong Fu discovered that he couldn't quite see through Lin Xuan's cultivation level. Apart from being able to tell what level Lin Xuan was in, he couldn't see through anything else.

Lin Xuan was unaware of the shock Nangong Fu was feeling; he simply smiled as he spoke with Nangong Qingyi beside him.

The reason why the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals is called the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals is not only because of its grand scale, but also because of the exchange of Taoist practices.

With three days until the battle, everyone immediately began exchanging ideas.

The sects that were on friendly terms began to discuss the Dao with each other.

Lin Xuan didn't stay idle either; he got up and headed towards the Tianshuo Immortal Sect.

Nangong Qingyi followed Lin Xuan to the Tianshuo Immortal Sect.

Nangong Fu glanced at Lin Xuan, then looked away and continued meditating in place.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, it's been over a year since we last met, and you are even more radiant now!"

Yang Shuo watched Lin Xuan approach and laughed heartily as he went to greet him.

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, "Sect Leader Yang, are you also going to participate in this Dao Debate this time?"

"No, no, no, our Tianshuo Immortal Sect is out of the question. The strongest among those under 100,000 years old is only at the Third Tribulation Heavenly Immortal Realm, which is far too weak. Going up there would only be humiliating, there's really no need for it."

Yang Shuo smiled and shook his head, showing no regret about giving up participating in the Dao Debate Battle.

After all, the strength of Tianshuo Immortal Sect is indeed far inferior to that of other sects.

"I heard that you, Fellow Daoist Lin, are going to represent the Nangong family in the battle, is that right?"

Yang Shuo looked at Lin Xuan and felt genuine admiration for him. Lin Xuan was a rogue cultivator, yet he possessed such formidable talent and combat prowess.

"Oh! Sect Leader Yang, how did you know?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat puzzled, as neither he nor the Nangong family had ever publicized this matter.

"Haha, it seems you don't pay any attention to current events, Fellow Daoist Lin. Half a year ago, all the major super powers had already announced the contestants they would be sending out, and you were in the Nangong family's team, so of course I knew about it."

Yang Shuo looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of envy in his eyes. Young, talented, and with extraordinary combat strength, he had only just begun his cultivation and was already at the Golden Immortal Realm. There were endless possibilities ahead of him; becoming an Immortal King or even an Immortal Emperor was not impossible!
"I see." Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"Does Fellow Daoist Lin need a list of contestants? I have one here, so I can know who my opponents are."

Yang Shuo is investing in Lin Xuan without holding back.

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Sect Leader Yang, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for it."

Yang Shuo didn't say much; some things only need to be said once.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, I am really looking forward to your duel."

Yan Chu of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect led a group of powerful figures toward Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan also had a good impression of the sect leader of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Sect, who was considered to be an upright and honest person.

After exchanging a few words, the group returned to their respective camps.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the debate.

"This time, the participating players and teams will be drawn into two groups for a match, and the winners will advance to the next round."

Chengde Immortal King stood at the highest point, announcing the rules with a smile.

The first group to be drawn was surprisingly the Nangong family, but their opponent was just an ordinary small sect.

Lin Xuan sat in the arena; he didn't even get a chance to go on stage. (End of Chapter)
