I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

Recently, two news items have sparked heated discussions on the Desolate Ancient Continent:

First: Xuan Ming Sect disciple Chu Qingge defeated Xu Qi and became the new generation True Disciple of the Xuan Ming Sect.

Second: The Xuan Ming Sect has invited many cultivators from the Desolate Ancient Continent to come to the Xuan Ming Sect in twenty-five days to witness Chu Qingge entering the Tribulation Transcension stage and to see her complete the three-year agreement with Lin Ning.

These two news items spread almost simultaneously throughout the Desolate Ancient Continent.

News from the mysterious Xuan Ming Sect immediately attracted the attention of countless people, becoming a topic of discussion during their leisure time.

"Damn? Chu Qingge was actually able to defeat Xu Qi in the Nascent Soul stage? Xu Qi is a genius of the Tribulation Transcension stage!"

"I haven't heard news about Xu Qi for many years. I didn't expect this time to hear such tragic news!"

There are many conditions to becoming a True Disciple of the Xuan Ming Sect, the most crucial of which are:

"The age must not exceed eighteen!"

"Defeat the current True Disciple!"

Xu Qi, the previous generation True Disciple of the Xuan Ming Sect, was only a fifteen-year-old child when he first appeared on the Desolate Ancient Continent.

However, it was at this age that he defeated all geniuses under the age of eighteen on the Desolate Ancient Continent.

When he won the title of the number one young generation on the Desolate Ancient Continent, he once said: "I have seen many geniuses, but they all call me a genius."

Those who have never heard of Xu Qi would think that this child is too arrogant, young and ignorant.

However, those who have witnessed Xu Qi's true abilities would silently nod in agreement with Xu Qi's arrogant remarks.

Xu Qi had already entered the Tribulation Transcension stage at the age of seventeen.

Even the Demon King, who was known as a genius of the demon race, could not even see Xu Qi's shadow at the same time!

"Xu Qi actually lost? How is this possible?"

"My brother couldn't have lost. He is the most promising genius to enter the Emperor Realm before the age of thirty! How could he lose?"

In the Desolate Ancient Continent, those die-hard fans who supported Xu Qi burst into tears after hearing the news.

"Impossible! There must be some conspiracy here. What is Chu Qingge? How can she compare to my brother?"

"That's right, I've never even heard of this person. This must be fake news."

The fans didn't believe it.

According to the second piece of news, Chu Qingge has not yet undergone Tribulation Transcension. How could she, a Nascent Soul cultivator, defeat Xu Qi, a Tribulation Transcension cultivator?

Of course, there are also many rational cultivators in the Desolate Ancient Continent.

"The Xuan Ming Sect is a mysterious and powerful sect. If a genius like Xu Qi can appear, then a second genius will definitely appear."

"Obviously, Chu Qingge's talent is even more monstrous than Xu Qi's. Give her some time, and she will definitely become an Emperor in the future!"

"Xuan Ming Sect, a gathering place for geniuses. Which one of those who can enter this sect is not called a genius?"

"Eh? I didn't expect Chu Qingge to have a story with the Azure Cloud Sect. A three-year agreement? How interesting."

"Wait, what is the Azure Cloud Sect? Does the Desolate Ancient Continent have this sect? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Oh, it turns out to be a middle-to-lower-ranked sect. No wonder I've never heard of it."

After learning that Chu Qingge had become a True Disciple, the cultivators in various parts of the Desolate Ancient Continent could no longer imagine how high her talent was.

Such a young girl was able to defeat Xu Qi in the Tribulation Transcension stage with her Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

This is no longer something that can be defined as a genius. People are more willing to call her a monster!

Even if you can defeat Xu Qi at the same level, everyone would be willing to call you the number one person, let alone in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, when they heard that the Xuan Ming Sect had invited cultivators from all over to witness Chu Qingge complete the three-year agreement, everyone was looking forward to the start of a good show.

After all, the Azure Cloud Sect is just a small sect.

What kind of super genius could appear from within?

Even if there were, geniuses from this kind of small sect would likely have their Dao hearts collapse after entering the Xuan Ming Sect.

"Hehe, in twenty-five days, we can watch a good show."

"Tch, what's so good about watching? With Chu Qingge's talent, cultivation is as simple as drinking water."

"She can defeat Xu Qi in the Nascent Soul stage now. What about in twenty-five days?"

"The Xuan Ming Sect has already said that they will let us witness Chu Qingge entering the Tribulation Transcension stage in twenty-five days. By then, her strength will soar again. Lin Ning will probably be beaten to a pulp with one hand."

梵天城 (Fantian City).

As a sacred place for blacksmiths, people from different places come to Fantian City every day to find their favorite weapons.

The news of the Xuan Ming Sect also spread widely in the city with the arrival of this group of people.

Of course, after many rumors have been spread from person to person, they are very different from the original version.

"What? After Chu Qingge defeated Xu Qi, she was actually named a candidate for Sect Master? Isn't that too fast?"

"Seventeen years old, an Emperor? Are you sure? Is this really seventeen years old?"

"What a terrifying talent. Would such a beautiful woman with terrifying cultivation look up to me? Cultivation is so hard, I don't want to work hard anymore."

"Hehe, a three-year agreement? An Emperor? Sounds so interesting."

After being briefly misled by these fake news, the blacksmiths quickly reacted.

Just because.

The name they heard was none other than Lin Ning.

"A three-year agreement, the other party is Lin Ning? This name sounds so familiar. Where have I heard it before?"

"My God! Is it the person I've heard of? Or is it just a coincidence?"

In Fantian City, the blacksmiths stopped their work one after another, looking around in their shops. They exchanged glances with the blacksmiths in the shops across the street.

The local blacksmiths in Fantian City gradually recalled the appearance of a young man in their minds.

The answer was already obvious.

"Lin... Emperor Lin? No way, could it be him? Or is it just the same name?"

The blacksmiths remembered that when the Demon King left, they had personally heard Emperor Lin say:

"My name is Lin Ning. When we meet next time, defeat me with your most powerful method!"

The hammer in his hand suddenly slipped, and the crimson Xuan Iron that had been burned by the flames also fell to the ground, covered in dust.

Ignoring the customer's dissatisfied gaze, the old blacksmith's body trembled constantly.

"I remember now. Yu Xuan told me when she was learning the art from me that she came from the Azure Cloud Sect, and Emperor Lin called Yu Xuan Senior Sister."

"This also means that Emperor Lin is from the Azure Cloud Sect, and the person whom the Xuan Ming Sect True Disciple is going to fight to the death with is Emperor Lin!"

With the answer in his heart, the old blacksmith became more and more excited. He couldn't wait to know the location of the Xuan Ming Sect and then go to see Lin Ning's figure!

"Old Li, you are an old blacksmith."

The customer said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you so frightened by these news that your movements are distorted?"

Looking at the Xuan Iron covered in dust on the ground, the customer's heart ached: "This is a treasure I bought at a great price."

The old blacksmith smiled: "I'm sorry, this was my mistake. Thank you for bringing me the news. I will forge a good weapon for you for free."

"As for the Xuan Iron, don't worry, I will find it for you again."

Looking at the smile on the customer's face, the old blacksmith sneered in his heart:

"Xuan Ming Sect?"

"Heh, I admit that this sect is very strong, but... you have provoked the wrong person. You actually provoked Emperor Lin!"

"So what if he is in the Nascent Soul stage? So what if he is a True Disciple who is about to enter the Tribulation Transcension stage?"

"Even your Sect Master, the Immortal Emperor, is not enough to look at in front of Emperor Lin."

"Twenty-five days, this old guy can't wait to see Emperor Lin smash your Xuan Ming Sect's signboard."
