The Sovereign’s Ascension

es will reach maturity and you’ll see a golden radiance coming from it.
It’s only one step away from reaching maturity now,” said Liu Yunyan as her eyes also blazed with flames as she looked at the Indigoflame Goldlotuses.
She was only one step away from completing her mission, so she was feeling rather nervous right now.
She had wanted to become a core disciple for a long time now.

“There are quite a bit of Indigoflame Goldlotuses.
You only need three of them, so it shouldn’t be hard,” said Lin Yun as he fell into deep thought.
The area was covered with Indigoflame Goldlotuses and there were at least a hundred of them.

“You’re too optimistic.
Indigoflame Goldlotuses will die from the tribulation and not many of them will survive.
In the beginning, the Indigoflame Goldlotuses will cover the entire lake, but in the end there aren’t many left,” said Liu Yunyan.

With an awkward expression, Lin Yun changed the topic, “There are many people coming for it, right?”

“Those who can make it there are all experts like us,” said Liu Yunyan with a grave expression.
“And we have to pay attention to some of them.”

“Who?” asked Lin Yun.

“Look north.” Lin Yun looked in the direction that Liu Yunyan pointed out and saw a group of people waiting by the lakeside for the Indigoflame Goldlotuses to mature.
The one in the front was a robust man who was releasing a domineering aura.

“That’s Han Fei of the Threesolute Manor.
He’s proficient with his saber and he reached the lesser Yin stage six months ago.
He’s extremely terrifying.
I heard that he once defeated three demonic cultivators at the same cultivation as him.”

The Threesolute Manor was also an quasi-overlord force in the Nether Prefecture and they were proficient in the art of sabers.
The Threesolute Saber was a technique that shook the entire Nether Prefecture and they had a decent reputation in the entire Ancient Southern Domain.

“Over there are the Shattered Sword Pavilion’s disciples who are swordsmen like you.
Their sword techniques are extremely brutal, especially the one leading the party, Nie Feng.
I once fought with him and suffered a loss,” said Liu Yunyan with a grave expression.

Lin Yun was surprised and smiled, “Since you’re mentioning him, you must have already surpassed him, right?”

“You still can’t underestimate them.
Aside from him, the Shattered Sword Pavilion’s disciples aren’t easy to deal with.
You’re also a swordsman, so you should know how terrifying the sword aura is when they launch their charge,” said Liu Yunyan.

What she said was true.
Dozens of swordsmen launching their charge and using the same sword technique was a headache.

“Who is that person then?” Lin Yun turned to look at a person standing by himself in a corner.
His aura was unique and anyone could tell that he was a wandering cultivator.
For him to come by himself despite so many quasi-overlord forces’ disciples here meant that he must be rather confident about his strength.

“He’s known as Ye Cangming.
He came to the Nether Prefecture half a year ago, but rumor has it that he’s not a wandering cultivator, but a traitor from an overlord force.
He killed many of the sect ’s disciples over the past six months, but no one can do anything about him,” said Liu Yunyan.
As she gave an explanation, Ye Cangming looked over and revealed a sinister smile at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun fearlessly looked back at Ye Cangming.
Since the latter was a traitor and survived till now, he must be somewhat capable.
However, Lin Yun was someone who had slain a greater Yin stage cultivator, not to mention that his strength underwent a great change.
He wouldn’t be afraid now, even if he faced a greater Yin stage cultivator.
Additionally, Ye Cangming was only in the lesser Yin stage.

Ye Cangming looked at Lin Yun for a long time before he closed his eyes.

“Aside from those guys, there are also some hidden around.
But I haven’t been able to discover them.” Liu Yunyan was rather cautious.

Suddenly, Lin Yun felt a chill and he looked at the direction the chill was coming from.
He smiled, “Look there.”

“The Bloodwing Pavilion is here,” said Liu Yunyan with her face changed.
The ones leading them were Pan Yue and Leng Yi.
When the two looked at the Heavenly Province Academy’s party, they didn’t do anything and put some distance between the two parties.

The demonic beasts along the way could be considered a trial.
As for those who failed to make it here, they weren’t fated with the Indigoflame Goldlotus.
As time gradually passed, the mist finally disappeared.

Without any signs, the ground began to tremble, causing everyone’s faces to change.
They could clearly sense the surrounding spiritual energy becoming irritated.
At the same time, countless demonic beasts also began to surge out from the surroundings.

“Is the tribulation coming?” Everyone focused as they could see purple lightning and flames descending down at the Indigocloud Lake in a downpour.
