I am a loser, but I defeated countless geniuses with the Soul-Calming Tower.

Chapter 2548

"The Five Elements Palace... is in grave danger..."

Zhao Yan felt a pang of sympathy, inexplicably saddened by the Five Elements Palace. Why provoke such people? It was just asking for trouble.

"No...don't kill me...I...I don't want to die, I still have...a bright future ahead of me..."

Zhao Yan spoke with a trembling voice, his earlier arrogance completely gone.

"I can spare your life for now, but there's no benefit in it. If your life tablet is broken, it will cause some trouble if I need to use your identity later."

Lin Xuan responded, and the hope that had just ignited in Zhao Yan's eyes was instantly extinguished.

Seeing Zhao Yan's reaction, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a devilish smile: "Don't worry, I'll help you pave your way to a bright future."

"Now, I'll have to trouble you for a moment, I need to get some information."

Without giving Zhao Yan time to react, Lin Xuan summoned his Soul-Hidden Canopy, and silvery divine chains shot out, binding Zhao Yan and wrapping him up like a rice dumpling.

"It's broken..."

Lin Xuan looked at the Soul-Hidden Canopy with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. In the void passage, the Soul-Hidden Canopy had endured countless attacks. At this moment, there were several large holes on the surface of the canopy, and most of the hanging lace was broken.

The power of the Soul-Hidden Canopy has weakened considerably, and even the number of divine chains that pierce through it has decreased.

Through the resonance of the soul within the canopy, Lin Xuan received information that it could slowly repair itself. If Lin Xuan could draw upon the power of its original body, it would recover even faster and might even enhance itself.

"The main body? The Earth Treasury Umbrella and the Soul-Devouring Umbrella, this is a bit troublesome."

"We'll talk about it later. Although it's damaged, it's enough for now."

Lin Xuan stroked his chin, his Soul-Hidden Canopy having already pulled Zhao Yan away, completely merging him into its core.

The somewhat tattered figure of the Soul-Hidden Evil Buddha appeared inside the canopy, the divine chains tightened, and then Lin Xuan resonated with and acquired a large amount of memories about Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan did not die. He had a strong will to survive and was even unguarded against the Soul-Hidden Evil Buddha, allowing it to take everything from him.

This reminded Lin Xuan of Lan An. Zhao Yan, like Lan An, was very pragmatic!

"You did well; perhaps we can spare your life."

Lin Xuan's voice resounded within the Soul-Hidden Canopy.

Zhao Yan, who had been feeling utterly hopeless, trembled, then burst into joy: "Zhao Yan, thank you, sir!"

"Rest assured, my lord, as long as I can live, Zhao Yan will have no complaints even if I become a slave."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, pulled himself out of his thoughts, and put away the Soul-Hidden Canopy.

He had just learned all of Zhao Yan's past and had a deep understanding of this area.

"I will be the one to produce the imperial seed for the Five Elements Palace!"

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile. He gathered all his power, soared into the air, and headed towards the spiderweb-like portal in mid-air.

The recognition of the Five Elements Earthly Network mainly depends on the understanding of the Five Elements Generation and Demise Immortal Scripture; to put it bluntly, it's just a formality.

This secret place is full of trials. Zhao Yan has already come this far, and his talent is beyond question. He is not much different from the former emperor, Lan Chuyan.

All that remains is to enter the space created by the Five Elements Earth Network and receive its inheritance.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's comprehension of the Five Elements Life and Death Immortal Scripture is high enough. Now that the power of order has been bestowed upon him, and he has completely transformed into Zhao Yan, obtaining the imperial weapon inheritance will be no problem for him.

Upon arriving at the portal, Lin Xuan stepped directly in without any hindrance or danger, and smoothly entered a special space.

"Boom!"

At that very moment, the secret realm of the Five Elements Palace trembled, and all the disciples who were still undergoing trials were expelled.

"Who is it? I was so close, so very close to seeing the gate!"

"Heavens! After eight hundred years of forbearance, is it all hopeless for me to become an emperor?"

"Senior Brother Zhao Yan has not returned. He has entered the inheritance space. Sigh... I should have realized this sooner. Why did I bother to compete with him?"

"Senior Brother Zhao Yan... I am no match for him..."

Within the Five Elements Palace, on a vast training ground, hundreds of prodigies descended from the sky, their voices filled with heartache and regret.

"As expected, Zhao Yan was the first to pass the test."

"Hehe... His talent is actually even stronger than that of Lan Chuyan. If he hadn't entered the sect later, the imperial seed would have been his long ago."

"It's a pity that Lan Chuyan was killed by thieves. I don't know if Lin Xuan is dead or not. My Five Elements Palace may not have the chance to kill our enemy."

"He must be dead. News has come from the Yunche Immortal Clan in Qingzhou that Lin Xuan's close friend was furious and wanted to rush to Yunzhou, but he was stopped. I guess... his life tablet is broken."

"So what if he doesn't die? Once the new imperial seed transforms into a true immortal and the Five Elements Earth Network fully recognizes him as its master, within a hundred years, my Five Elements Palace will surely produce another immortal emperor."

"Immortal Emperors are not enough! Zhao Yan has the potential to become a Supreme Being!"

The high-ranking members of the Five Elements Palace were chatting happily, completely unaware that their imperial lineage had already undergone a complete transformation.

Within the Earth Network space, Lin Xuan looked around and could see the Five Elements smoke and mist rising all around, constantly evolving and generating the power of birth and death, almost filling the entire space.

A vast net woven from five-colored lines stretches across the sky, radiating a unique Taoist aura.

The Light of the Earthly Net once caused Lin Xuan great harm in the Dark Netherworld, forcing him to enter the Dark Netherworld Clan's front line. If Ling Pianran hadn't accompanied him that time, Lin Xuan himself would have been in great danger.

"I never imagined that one day I would actually meet the real person, and even become his successor."

Lin Xuan now resembles Zhao Yan, a smile playing on his lips, like a refined gentleman, though lacking a touch of nobility.

"Activate the Immortal Scripture and reveal your true power!"

A vast sound spread across the sky; it was the spiritual intent of the Five Elements Earthly Network transmitting information.

Lin Xuan did not delay. The Five Elements Dao Foundation within the Heavenly Court shone brightly, and the power of birth and death surged out, spreading out from himself as the center, quickly filling the entire space.

"Hmm? Your comprehension of the Five Elements Creation and Demise Immortal Scripture is so profound!"

The Five Elements Earthly Net's intent vibrated, and cries of surprise rang out.

"hiss……"

"Such a profound foundation..."
