The Sovereign's Ascension

Chapter 2326 - Lin Yun's Strength

“Sovereign Monument!” Lin Yun raised his head and muttered, “It has finally appeared.”

“Not yet,” Xiong Tiannan chuckled.

“Oh? What do you mean?” Lin Yun asked.

Seeing that Lin Yun really knew nothing about the Sovereign Monument, Xiong Tiannan was surprised, and asked, “Are you really from Kunlun?”

“Absolutely,” Lin Yun replied with a smile.

Xiong Tiannan was shocked, and muttered, “Encountering someone so honest like you is really rare in the Heavenly Barren Realm. I can’t believe a barbaric land like the Kunlun Realm has given birth to someone talented like you.”

The scene where Lin Yun killed the Corpse Kings greatly shocked him. After all, he was a prominent figure on the Brandished Dragon Ranking, and he understood what it meant. Lin Yun's mastery of swordsmanship was likely no lower than that of Lin Jiangxian, the prodigy swordsman from the Azure Cloud Realm.

“Alright, let me explain. I thought you were from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion before. After all, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is a holy land that spans multiple realms,” Xiong Tiannan said. He went on to explain the Sovereign Monument to Lin Yun.

“The Sovereign Monument will only appear once every ten thousand years and is one of the most attractive places in the Heavenly Barren Realm. No one knows about its origin, but it is rumored to have been left behind by an Ancestral Deity and contains the profundity of dao. It doesn’t matter which dao you've practiced, you can gain enlightenment from the Sovereign Dao. You’re a swordsman, so you can comprehend Sword Dao from it.

“If you're lucky enough, you can even receive a Great Dao Fruit, which is ten or a hundred times more precious than golden fortunes. Aside from that, there is an opportunity for you to see the dao diagram in the Sovereign Monument. If you can comprehend it, you can make a breakthrough in your martial techniques, equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation.”

“I see…” Lin Yun finally understood why the Sovereign Monument was so precious. It looked like it was just as Lin Jiangxian had said. He had to go there no matter what, whether to comprehend Sword Dao or observe the dao diagram.

"Speaking of which, can one comprehend Eternal Dao from it?" Lin Yun asked.

Xiong Tiannan shook his head, and said, "It's the Sovereign Monument, not the Eternal Monument. It's naturally impossible to comprehend Eternal Dao. However, there is a legend."

"What legend?" Lin Yun asked curiously, and Ji Zixi also looked over curiously.

Xiong Tiannan said, “There is a legend that the owner of the Sovereign Dao was someone who had grasped an Eternal Dao. If someone destined goes there, there is a chance that they could comprehend an Eternal Dao.”

Lin Yun was briefly stunned but soon found it unlikely. The Eternal Dao was incredibly profound, requiring prolonged hardship to comprehend them. Aside from Fate Dao, which couldn’t be grasped, the remaining eight Eternal Daos were invincible existences. He never heard about an Eternal Dao that could be obtained and given.

“You don’t believe me?” Xiong Tinanan smiled and said, “I didn’t believe it, either. After all, how can an Eternal Dao be given when a Sovereign Dao couldn’t? That's why this is just a legend…”

Ji Zixi chimed in, “Have you thought of this possibility? The Dao Fruit is meant to help people grasp Eternal Dao.”

This frightened Xiong Tiannan, who thought that he had exposed himself. He said, “What are you trying to do? I’m just following you from afar to brush up on your luck. You said that it’s not too much.”

Lin Yun didn’t expose him, but smiled, “Of course. You can have this golden fortune.”

“You’re giving it to me?” Xiong Tiannan was shocked.

Nodding his head, Lin Yun said, “I have refined too many golden fortunes, and the effects are starting to weaken. So you can have it.”

Seeing that Lin Yun had grown resistant to the golden fortune, Xiong Tiannan received the golden fortune from Lin Yun with disbelief. He awkwardly smiled, “It’s weird to see someone like you in the Heavenly Barren Realm.”

Betrayals were commonly seen in the Heavenly Barren Realm, and finding someone who would give out a golden fortune was rare.

Lin Yun smiled, “I have a question for you.”

“Go on,” Xiong Tiannan said.

“You have been following me for a long time, so why didn’t you make a move?” Lin Yun asked.

Xiong Tiannan was frightened upon hearing that and nearly dropped the golden fortune. He quickly said, “I didn’t. Don’t bullshit.”

“It looks like you’re not being honest,” Lin Yun looked at Xiong Tiannan with a playful smile.

Xiong Tiannan momentarily hesitated, then blatantly admitted, “I wanted, but who would dare to move against you after witnessing your strength?”

“It can’t be just that, right?” Lin Yun pondered.

Xiong Tiannan bitterly smiled, “Why not? I can easily defeat swordsmen at your cultivation with one punch. I have become a Saint through my physique, and I should be able to suppress swordsmen like you. After all, I can kill you with a punch if you can’t kill me with your sword. But why would I dare to make a move after seeing how you dealt with those corpse kings? Most importantly…”

“What is it?” Lin Yun asked.

“I didn’t see your sword,” Xiong Tiannan said in a self-mocking tone.

“Big Brother Lin, there’s something wrong!” Ji Zixi’s voice resounded, making Lin Yun turn away.

“I’ll go check it out,” Lin Yun said as he hurried over, putting the matter of the Brandishing Dragon Ranking aside.

Xiong Tiannan looked in Lin Yun’s direction before stowing the golden fortune and went over out of curiosity.
