A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Now that I've brought the people to you, you complain that there are too many? That's unreasonable."

Crane: "......."

The crane's face twitched incessantly; it was furious with Lin Xiu.

What angered it even more was that it couldn't refute Lin Xiu!

Lin Xiu proved a fact not only with his words, but also with his actions: compared to Lin Xiu, the crane was indeed a lazy bum!

hateful!

Isn't it normal for the crane clan to be a little lazy? If they were working all day, how would they resemble celestial birds?

Besides, isn't this kind of widespread acceptance of disciples a bit too unrefined for the lineage of an emperor?

"Ah~"

In the end, the crane's endless worries turned into a sigh.

"Alright, young friend Lin, stop talking. I'll let those young prodigies into the underground palace! Is that alright?"

The crane knew that Lin Xiu was saying all this simply to get it to give in.

However, it also admitted that Lin Xiu was right; in the matter of finding and training successors... he was indeed inferior to Lin Xiu.

Damn it! What on earth did Lin Xiu eat to grow up like this? How is he even better at training successors than a saint like me?

What? Lin Xiuqiang is strong, but he's also an absolute weakling?

That's fine.

........

As soon as the crane released its grip, Lin Xiu's attitude immediately changed completely.

"Haha~ Senior Crane is so understanding, I admire you!"

"What I said just now was a little impolite, but it was all for the sake of senior and the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor. I hope senior will not be angry."

Crane: "........."

The crane was so angry it could barely laugh; it was really hard for it to feel any anger towards Lin Xiu.

It was only angry with itself, angry that it hadn't gone all out to find and cultivate successors of the Chaotic Ancients.

It has no right to be angry at Lin Xiu, who taught it by example.

"Alright, come with me. I want to see if these young prodigies you've picked out are really qualified."

As it spoke, the crane flapped its wings again, carrying Lin Xiu back to the front of the Chaotic Ancient Palace.

.......

At the entrance of the chaotic ancient underground palace.

A group of people are having a heated discussion about cranes and Wang Teng.

"The Chaotic Ancient Palace is the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor. I never expected that after defeating Wang Teng, Immortal Lin would also obtain his legacy... How did he manage to do that?"

"No matter how it was done, I'm determined to have this Chaotic Ancient Inheritance! If I had the same equipment as Wang Teng, I would definitely crush him!"

"Exactly! It was just a shockwave from Immortal Lin's reversal of the law. I think if it weren't for the Great Emperor's inheritance, he would have been suppressed by other rogue cultivators long ago!"

"By the way, Wang Teng, what exactly happened? If I remember correctly, you just addressed Immortal Master Lin as Master Lin?"

Wang Teng: "........"

Wang Teng remained silent, only gazing up at the sky.

Now, he is no longer affected by the words of these mediocre people.

He is going to fight against Lin Xiu, the most evil person in history! And the most powerful Qing Emperor in history! As for the others... they are mediocre.

Of course, being mediocre as he was, the fact that so many people were swarming around him still infuriated Wang Teng.

Just as Wang Teng was considering whether or not to teach some people a lesson...

Suddenly.

A sage of the crane, making no attempt to conceal his aura, suddenly appeared above the crowd!

"cracking!"

A crane's cry and a divine aura instantly drew everyone's attention!

The group of young prodigies were both surprised and frightened, after all, it was the first time most of them had ever seen a sage.

A sage's anger can change the world. This crane-shaped sage... could it be that he's angry because there are too many people here?

In the past, the crane would indeed get angry.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu had already washed the crane's head once, and now the crane only wanted to make up for its previous mistakes.

The crane took its first step by publicly declaring its identity as a saint in order to inspire respect and longing for the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

"I am the guardian of the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor!"

"Anyone who wishes to become the successor of the Great Emperor may follow me into the underground palace! To undergo the Great Emperor's test!"

As he spoke, the crane glanced at Lin Xiu, who understood and, together with the crane, took out the Chaotic Ancient Token.

"Boom!~"

The token trembled along with the surrounding environment, and soon, a magnificent and desolate underground palace appeared before everyone's eyes.

Within the underground palace, there are spiritual pools and immortal herbs, cascading springs and rolling mountains; the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth is almost condensed into a gaseous or liquid state, blending with the surrounding environment outside the palace.

The environment presents a stark contrast.

Since ancient times, the Northern Plains has been a bitterly cold land. Even after the Great Emperor of Chaos became emperor, he did try to change the environment of the Northern Plains.

However, after becoming an emperor, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor finally realized the truth about the Big Dipper Continent and knew that the forbidden zone would not allow him to drastically change the environment of the Big Dipper.

Ultimately, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor adopted the method of "dripping water wears away stone," establishing the Chaotic Ancient Underground Palace as his place of inheritance while gradually changing the environment of the Northern Plains.

Thousands of years ago, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Northern Plains was completely transformed, and the difficulty of cultivation began to decrease. Although it was still more difficult than other major regions of the Big Dipper, it was much better than before.

Thus, the Chaotic Ancient Palace began to draw upon the power of the universe and stars, transforming it into spiritual power, which gradually spread outwards.

The Crane Sage grew up during this process. In the process of growing up, the Crane Sage heard the legend of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and obtained part of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's inheritance, and gradually became a follower of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

Unfortunately... the environment of the Northern Plains is ultimately too difficult to change. Apart from the Chaotic Ancient Palace with its Imperial Array, the spiritual energy in other places is ultimately difficult to sustain and will dissipate into the universe and other great domains.

It seems that only when the restricted areas are completely cleared out and the environment for BeiDou is transformed can the rise of Beiyuan truly begin.

The young prodigies breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the crane open the Chaotic Ancient Palace on its own initiative.

"Sigh~ I thought Senior Crane was angry~"

"I knew Senior Crane was a saint! I could tell the moment I saw him!"

"I never imagined that there would still be a sage in the Northern Plains in this era. I also never imagined that Immortal Lin would be quite familiar with him... Immortal Lin's connections are truly extensive."

......

The moment the gates of the Chaotic Ancient Palace opened, a vast and ancient aura swept over everyone, as if dragging them into the desolate past.

The underground palace was extremely magnificent, with the walls all around carved with profound Dao patterns. Each pattern was slowly flowing, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Above the dome, countless fist-sized luminous pearls are arranged according to the trajectory of the stars in the sky, casting a cool glow.

The air was filled with a dense spiritual energy that was almost solidified, which turned into a light mist. Even taking a breath made one feel refreshed.

"Is this the place where the Chaotic Ancient Emperor inherited his legacy? It is indeed magnificent!"

"The concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher than in the secret realms of our holy land! If one can cultivate here, one year is equivalent to several years outside!"

"Everyone says the Northern Plains are bitterly cold, but who would have thought that there would be such a paradise there?"

The young talents discussed it animatedly, their eyes filled with awe.

On the high platform in the center, the crane looked down at the group of young prodigies and slowly spoke:

"This is the Chaotic Ancient Palace, the place where the Chaotic Ancient Emperor passed on his legacy."

"The Chaotic Ancient Palace contains multiple trials, starting from the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm and going up to the Sendai Realm. Each time you pass a trial, you will receive a corresponding scripture reward."

How far you go depends entirely on your own abilities.

"For each level of trials passed, you can obtain a fragment of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture corresponding to that level."

"If you can pass all the tests and gain the approval of both me and my friend Lin, you will be able to obtain the complete version of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture, or even the complete Chaotic Ancient Inheritance!"

Because there were simply too many people taking the test, the crane had no choice but to change the test format of the underground palace, canceling the original rewards for passing the test and instead issuing them after reviewing the results itself.

While it's a test, some things still shouldn't be allowed to become too widespread.

Chapter 310 The Blood of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, The Trial of the Underground Palace

"Go ahead, let me see if you are truly qualified to inherit the Chaotic Ancient Legacy!"

After saying that, the crane flapped its wings, and hundreds of beams of light appeared out of thin air in the center of the underground palace, taking everyone into them.

Outside the underground palace, only Lin Xiu and the crane remained.

While Lin Xiu was outside, he discussed Dao with the crane and kept an eye on the performance of these young prodigies.

Of course... I didn't care too much, I just took a quick look.

Because he didn't care whether he could find a top-tier genius; his purpose in bringing these people here was simply to raise the water temperature of the Eastern Wilderness, and even the entire Beidou region.

A true dragon cannot emerge from shallow waters; only by rising from the bottom can a true young supreme be revealed!

Lin Xiu did not deny that if he searched seriously, he might actually find a young prodigy who did not appear in the original work.

However, Lin Xiu never liked to place his hopes on such low-probability events.

If you have money and resources, wouldn't it be better to just cast a wide net?

Taking Ye Fan as an example, let's assume that it would take a group of twenty young prodigies to hunt down Ye Fan.

What Lin Xiu needs to do is increase the water temperature so that ten or even five young prodigies can team up to hunt down Ye Fan!

The higher the water temperature, the stronger the young supreme will be forged!

Now, all these young talents have been put into a pot by Lin Xiu, and all Lin Xiu has to do is keep adding fuel to the fire!
