Chapter 4: The Realm of the Little Immortals! Second Update

  "This boss should know the location of Gufo Temple." Tang Lin sat in the courtyard, thinking to himself, and immediately came to the Tianxiang Building hall, where he saw the boss still playing with an abacus, a smile all over his face.

  "Excuse me..." Tang Lin asked the boss: "Do you know where the Ancient Buddha Temple is?"

  The abacus in the boss's hand suddenly stopped, and the air seemed to freeze.

  The boss slightly raised his head, looked Tang Lin up and down, then said: "You want to go to the ancient Buddha temple?"

  Tang Lin nodded and said, "Yes."

  "An outsider, who would have known about the ancient temple..." The boss gave Tang Lin a deep look and said: "Follow me."

  He brought Tang Lin to a delicate room, with a wave of his hand, a majestic spiritual force fluctuated over, and then Tang Lin felt that the entire room was covered with a soundproof barrier.

  "Although I don't know who you are, since you know about the ancient temple, you should have some connection...” The boss smiled and looked at Tang Lin: “You can enter the Jiuxiang Building, perhaps after the Jiusu Qiongding competition ends, you can go there in person."

  "Huh?" Tang Lin looked at him in confusion, completely bewildered.

  "The ancient Buddhist temple is located in the Small Fairy Realm." The boss looked at Tang Lin with a deep gaze, saying: "This Small Fairy Realm is where all the strong people in the world gather, and the Ancient Buddhist Temple is the most famous and powerful one inside!"

  "What is Xiao Xianjing?" Tang Lin was taken aback, "Where is Xiao Xianjing? Are there immortals living inside?"

  "There is an immortal living inside." The boss said in a low voice.

  This sentence was like a thunderclap.

  Tang Lin's heart was shocked and his head spun wildly.

  Immortal?

  In that small fairy realm, there were actually immortals!

  There are many legends about immortals, whether it's the wordless jade pendant or the numerous ancient ruins and mysterious caves, but no one has ever seen a real immortal.

  And yet, in this small fairy realm, it actually exists!

  Tang Lin's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "Could the Tianyin Buddha from that ancient temple be an immortal? No wonder he can bring people back from the dead. Such power is simply the kind of power only immortals possess!"

  "Where is Little Fairy Realm?" Tang Lin hastily looked at the boss.

  "This can't be told to you." The boss shrugged and said, "The Xiaoxian Realm isn't a place where just anyone can go. To enter it, there are only two ways: first, being chosen by the great sects of the Xiaoxian Realm as their disciple, then you'll be able to enter."

  "The second method is to participate in the Jiu Jian Wen Ding competition and enter the top ten rankings, which can also lead to entry!"

  Tang Lin was taken aback.

  "The great sect of the Little Fairy Realm, I don't know it at all. To enter, isn't it only possible to participate in the Nine Swords Competition and obtain a top ten ranking?"

  Tang Lin's eyes shot out a sharp light, and he slowly clenched his fists.

  Are you going to contend for the throne?

  He really wanted to see it for himself. This tournament, which claimed to gather all the geniuses of the continent, was amazing!

  The boss looked at Tang Lin's appearance, lightly smiled and said: "You must work hard, although you can enter the Jiuxiang Building. Your strength is not bad, but it's still difficult to get into the top ten in the Jiu Jian competition."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  He naturally wouldn't belittle him.

  However, when faced with battle and a peerless genius, he never showed fear!

  "Right." Tang Lin suddenly had a thought and asked: "That Tianhe Sect, is it the main sect of Xiaoxian Realm?"

  As for the power of Tianhe Sect, Tang Lin only knew that it was a massive entity and did not know exactly how strong it was.

  "Tianhe Sect?" The boss shook his head and said, "We outsiders call it the Mortal Realm, while the Immortal Realm is another world. In the Mortal Realm, Tianhe Sect is one of the top three sects under heaven!"

  "The top forces in the mortal world are divided into one valley, three sects, six gates and ten factions!"

  The boss seemed to see that Tang Lin didn't understand these powers, so he explained: "What is called 'One Valley' is Xianyin Valley, located in the north of Zhongzhou. Its power is unparalleled in the world. The ordinary disciples outside the valley are all warriors with real strength, while those living inside the valley are tens of thousands of saints!"

  Tang Lin's heart secretly trembled with fear upon hearing this.

  Tens of thousands of saints?

  It is indeed the number one power in the world!

  Although the birth of a saint is difficult, on the vast and boundless Tianyu continent, with countless populations, after tens of thousands of years of reproduction, it's not unusual for a major power to have so many saints.

  After all, a dynasty of Snowy Heaven has more than 100 saints, let alone this Valley of Immortal Sound?

  "Outside of Xianyin Valley, there are the Three Great Sects under Heaven: the Ziwei Sect, the Tianhe Sect, and the Riyue Sect! These three great sects have powers that are not much different from Xianyin Valley's, all being extremely powerful!"

  "Then there are six doors and ten factions, these six doors are divided into Shentongmen, Baihuamen..."

  The boss recited the names of the six doors and ten factions for Tang Lin one by one.

  Tang Lin secretly took note of it.

  "These are all top-notch forces in the mortal world, and every year they can send their disciples to the Xiaoxian realm."

  "And the power of the Little Fairy Realm is truly an ultra-strong force! For example, that Tianyu Clan is the number one Daoist sect in the Little Fairy Realm, and the descendants of the White Feather Gate."

  "Buddhism takes ancient Buddhist temples as its leader, while Taoism takes Baiyumen as its revered place."

  The boss looked at Tang Lin and said, "So, you want to enter the Xiaoxian Realm. If you are from one of the three sects, six doors or ten factions, you can be directly admitted. Otherwise, you can only enter through the Jiujian Queding Great Competition!"

  Tang Lin suddenly understood.

  "Gufo Temple, Baiyu Gate." Tang Lin secretly remembered these two major powers, which were the truly transcendent forces on the mainland!

  Although it is said so, He Zong was still not to be underestimated that day, and he actually turned out to be one of the top three sects in the world.

  A cold glint flashed in Tang Lin's eyes, his fist slowly clenched.

  "Work hard, I'm looking forward to your performance." The boss smiled and said to Tang Lin: "By the way, there's another thing. You're currently staying at Jiuxiang Building, and in a few days, a big shot from Xiaoxian Realm will come over. If they take a liking to your talent, they'll take you as their apprentice."

  "It depends on your luck whether you can get it."

  Tang Lin was taken aback, "A big shot from the Little Fairy Realm?"

  "You don't know?" The boss looked at him in surprise.

  Tang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

  "Then why did you enter Jiuxiang Building..."

  "It was you who said there's only one room." Tang Lin had an innocent face.

  The boss was speechless.

  "I guess I underestimated you." The boss sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Considering your age and strength, since you have reached the qualification for participating in the Nine Swords Competition, I'll tell you something."

  "Our Tianxiang Building is the building of the Tianxiang Sect in the Little Fairy Realm. Every ten years, during the Jiujian Wendeng Grand Competition, big shots from the Little Fairy Realm will come out and select disciples here!"

  "Once you enter Jiuxiang Building, you don't need to compete on the Nine Swords Ranking, and you can be noticed by a big shot and directly selected as a disciple."

  "This is just like taking a chance."

  "You know, if they participate in the Jiujian Qiongding competition and win, their status as geniuses will be elevated, and they will be directly sent to the Xiaoxian realm for cultivation. At that time, if you want to take them on as disciples again, the price you'll have to pay will be very high."

  "And besides, a disciple like that might be snatched away by someone else."

  "But it's different in the Jiuxiang Building, if one person is selected as a disciple. As a result, this person achieved top ten results in the Jiujian Qiongding competition. This big shot made a huge profit."

  Tang Lin listened to his boss's talk and suddenly understood.

  It's like foraging in a free market, good luck and you'll pick up a treasure.

  "So that's how it is, no wonder that young man in golden clothes would fight with me." Tang Lin thought to himself.

  "So that's how it is." Tang Lin said to the boss, "These people from Jiu Xiang Lou are equivalent to being filtered through a layer of extraordinary talents from outside, and among these people, wanting to enter the top ten in the Nine Swords Competition is very difficult?"

  "Of course." The boss said without hesitation.

  "You should know." The boss said to Tang Lin: "How many people are there in the world? There are countless geniuses! And Tian Xiang Lou is just one. In Xiaoxian Realm, there are many other factions that have established buildings in Tianyu City, providing a place for some extraordinary geniuses to live, and then letting those big shots choose."

  "In my 300 years of experience here, there have only been two people born in the Jiuxiang Building who were able to advance into the top ten."

  Tang Lin was shocked and said: "Only two?"

  Three hundred years is thirty sessions!

  Each session has nine people, and thirty sessions add up. Surprisingly, only two people have ever entered the top ten in the Jiu Jian Qiong Ding competition?

  Tang Lin's heart was racing wildly, a surge of hot blood boiling up.

  Good heavens!

  How many geniuses are there on this continent?

  Tang Lin felt a kind of indescribable excitement, and at the same time, he had some worries. If he couldn't enter the top ten, he wouldn't be able to enter the Xiao Xian Realm and go to that ancient temple...

  "No matter how many geniuses there are, they can't stop me!" Tang Lin clenched his fists.

  "Go take a rest." The boss said to Tang Lin, "Maybe that big shot chose you, and you can go directly to the Little Fairy Realm. Even if your ranking in the Nine Swords Competition is outside the top hundred, it doesn't matter. In the Little Fairy Realm, they attach great importance to the relationship between master and disciple."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  Bid farewell to his boss and returned to his own Jiuxiang Building, Tang Lin sat by the pool, put his feet in the cold water for a soak, then gazed up at the night sky.

  The stars shone brightly, radiant with light.

  "It's said that after everyone dies, they become a star in the sky." Tang Lin looked up at the sky with pure and eager eyes, "Sister, which star are you? Can you see me?"

  The starlight twinkles on and off.

  Tang Lin smiled with a slight curl of his lips.

  The night was as dark as water, and a cool breeze blew gently, lifting the thin gray shirt on Tang Lin's body.

  "In ten more days, it will be the Jiuxing Championship! The young master of the Zhenyao tribe participated in it back then. All the extraordinary geniuses on the mainland should have participated in it, right?"

  "How many geniuses are there?"

  "I'm really looking forward to it!"

  "Countless geniuses clash together, and in the end, only the top ten strongest are chosen!"

  Tang Lin clenched his fists and silently vowed to the stars in the sky, "Sister, I will definitely go to that ancient temple as soon as possible to recreate your physical body for you!"
