In a private room in a restaurant, six people sat around the table, Lin Xi and the man in black sat above, while Ma Hong and the others deliberately stayed away from each other, and could not be as casual as before. After all, the other party was a sword saint who dominated the side, and they usually looked up to such powerful people.
"My friend Lin Xi, where are you going?" The man in black didn't care what these people thought. Being able to sit with these people for dinner was entirely for Lin Xi. In his opinion, it doesn't matter how many more people were.
"Of course I have to go to Tengyang City." Lin Xi put down the teacup in his hand and replied with a smile.
"Tengyang City?" The man in black looked moved. If he remembered correctly, then the greatest prosperity of the younger generation in the entire region should be less than a year, is it...
"Do you want to participate in the qualification selection?"
Lin Xi lowered his head slightly and took a sip of tea, without admitting or denying it. He was not very persistent in this matter, but if it would be helpful to him in the future, he could go and have a look.
After looking at the silent Lin Xi, the man in black did not ask any more. He was generally sure of this matter. It seemed that that event was really tempting for sword masters at this age. After all, if you can pass the qualification selection, even if you cannot join the Sword God Academy, which everyone yearns for in the entire continent, it will have considerable development in the Tengyang Domain.
"I wonder where Senior Hao is going?" After skipping this question, Lin Xi asked the other party directly.
"It's still thanks to my friend's beast core." Hearing the other party ask him, a smile appeared on the man in black, and he continued: "I have reached the bottleneck of breakthrough. My cultivation level has been no longer improved in a short period of time. I simply traveled to the mainland and might be lucky enough to encounter the opportunity to break through."
"Oh?" Lin Xi was surprised. The other party was now a sword saint. If he broke through again, he would be the Sword Emperor! That kind of existence was a top-notch powerhouse in the entire Tengyang Domain, and even qualified to participate in some grand events on the entire continent.
"I really want to congratulate Senior Hao!" Lin Xi smiled with a fist.
The other party waved his hand and said, "Why do you have any congratulations? It's extremely difficult to take that step, and..."
The man in black paused, his face darkened, as if something had made him very disappointed.
"Senior Hao seems to have something to worry about." Looking at the other person's appearance, Lin Xi's heart moved and asked.
"Oh, it's okay to say it. You should also get in touch with it in the future." The man in black sighed and was slightly silent, as if he was organizing language. After a while, he finally spoke slowly: "My lifelong wish is to be able to enter the imperial list, but now it seems that it is probably difficult to achieve it."
"Imperial List?" Lin Xi's face showed doubts when she heard this strange name, but with his intuition, this so-called Imperial List should not be simple.
"It's normal that you don't understand. The so-called emperor list is a list established by the Sword God Academy hundreds of years ago. The minimum requirement for those who can make it is to reach the Sword Emperor before the age of forty!"
"Before forty years old?" Lin Xi's eyes narrowed. In this way, many old sword emperors were eliminated.
"Haha, although he is forty years old, there are at least seventy people in the top 100 people on the imperial list. They all reached the Sword Emperor before they were thirty years old. The youngest person on the imperial list is from the Sword God Academy. The 22-year-old genius Sword Emperor is ranked ninth!"
"What? Twenty-two years old?" Lin Xi was shocked. He reached the Sword Emperor so young. How evil is he capable of doing it?
"Oh..." The man in black smiled bitterly and said, "This continent is far less simple than you imagined. As far as I know, the first-ranked disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Hall of the Sword God Academy, with the strength of the Sword Emperor, severely damaged the existence of a sword master at the cost of both losses, and laid the foundation for his first position to be invincible. Below the Sword Master, he is invincible!"
Ma Hong and others listened silently to the conversation between the two, their thinking was completely dull and they did not dare to interrupt and say a word. The content discussed by the other party was completely beyond their cognition, and even if they spent their entire lives, it would be difficult for them to reach that level.
Lin Xi was a little dazzled and shocked when he heard it. The higher the strength of the sword, the greater the difficulty of cross-level challenges. The top power of Jian Zun who raised his hand to urge the mountain was a giant on the entire continent. This existence that was approaching invincible was actually seriously injured by a sword emperor? How strong is this method?
"Although the opponent is just a strong man who has just stepped into the sword master, the terribleness of this person can be imagined. If he one day he is promoted to the sword master, he may be a rare rival in the entire continent in the future." The man in black breathed slowly, and his mood also fluctuated a little as these words were said.
"Well..." Lin Xi nodded in a clear way. This type of person can no longer be described as geniuses. Even some so-called geniuses may not be anything in the eyes of the other party.
"As far as I am now, I don't know when it will be until I can become the Sword Emperor, and even if I am lucky enough to reach the Sword Emperor within a few years, maybe I will not be able to occupy a place on the list of geniuses."
Speaking of this, the man in black sighed slightly. Everyone had a pursuit in his heart, and what he expected was to one day be on the imperial list that was looked up to by the sword masters of the entire continent!
"So that's how it is." Lin Xi finally understood that from what the other party described, the difficulty of obtaining the imperial list can be seen. This kind of imperial list that can quickly resound through the entire continent is eyeing countless people, and the intensity of the competition can be imagined.
However, Lin Xi was not very interested in these empty names. Compared to trying hard to compete for the irrelevant names, it would be better to improve his strength. However, Senior Hao seems very persistent in this matter.
As if he felt Lin Xi's strange gaze, the man in black smiled helplessly and said, "Where do you want to go? I don't value fame very much. This is just a goal in my life. If you lose the purpose of your cultivation in your path, how can you get motivation? Without motivation? How can you get strength?"
When Lin Xi heard the man in black, he was a little embarrassed and his eyes moved slightly. The other party said it well. Everyone has his own belief. If he loses his belief, his strength will only become empty talk. The direction in his heart is the distant Yongyuan Realm...
