Chapter 10, The Ceremony of Succession

Hehe, Prince Mu Hua, your high position fully reflects His Majesty's trust in the princes. Many people envy what you have, yet they cannot attain it. Moreover, if you were to truly step down, the entire empire's information would surely descend into chaos.

Have we reached the level of the Holy Light Royal Family? If the sect has grown to such an extent, what a prosperous era that would be

Master Lin Xuri, you can finally enjoy some leisure time. I wonder when we will be able to do the same, to completely set down our burdens and focus on our cultivation.

The guests have mostly arrived

Even now, although the imperial power of the Holy Light Empire has changed hands eleven times, its relationship with the Linmen Sword Sect has remained close. The Linmen Sword Sect has consistently held the position of the foremost sword sect, firmly supported by the imperial family of the Holy Light Empire, and even the once formidable Holy Demon Hall, which was powerful over a decade ago, could not shake its status.

Three thousand years ago, in the world dimension where the continent is located, it first bordered the Moon Demon Realm. Although spatial passages had not yet appeared, the influence of the high-level Moon Demon Realm led to a surge of magical beasts across the continent, which once destroyed the most powerful empire of that time—the regime of the Sword of Glory.

The ceremony of succession, let us begin

I would rather my imperial brother allow me a bit more leisure

Haha, this young talent should be the esteemed sect leader Long Jinyun, whom your esteemed sect trusts. I have heard much about the incident when the young sect leader Long Jinyun led the sect's experts to launch a surprise attack on the Holy Demon Palace. At such a young age, he has already established such a formidable reputation. Now, as he takes over the Linmen Sword Sect, it is indeed a rightful appointment.

Senior brother, let us go.

With the appearance of these few individuals, the numerous distinguished guests who had been engaged in their own conversations almost simultaneously turned around, their gazes landing on them. Among them, some quickly clasped their hands together in greeting, enthusiastically acknowledging these individuals.

On one side of the main hall of the succession ceremony, an elderly-looking man glanced at the many guests quietly waiting inside the hall

I am undeserving of such praise

During that period, the Holy Light Empire, under the leadership of the Emperor of that year, rose powerfully, establishing a strong and stable regime in less than ten years. During the rise of the Holy Light Empire, the Lin family, an ancient clan, made significant contributions.

Not decline? You underestimate the Linmen Sword Sect too much. Currently, there are no opponents left to hinder their growth. Given the current momentum, over the next few hundred years, the Linmen Sword Sect is bound to enter a period of rapid development. It is not merely that they will not decline; rather, it is highly likely that they will truly rise! Given time, I believe they will have the qualifications for equal dialogue with the royal family of the Holy Light Empire.

Later, as the Holy Light Empire waged wars in the east and west, unifying all human empires on the continent and establishing a supreme human dynasty, the Linmen Sword Sect played an indispensable role. It can be said that the entire Linmen Sword Sect was a founding contributor to the Holy Light Empire. The remarkable achievements of the Holy Light Empire are closely related to the strong support it received from the Linmen Sword Sect at the time of its establishment

The First Sword Sect of the Holy Light Empire

The one speaking is a rather reticent man in black who follows the circle of Tang Zhenghai, Prince Mu Hua, and others.

Linmen Sword Sect

Among several people, it was that middle-aged woman who spoke up

Speaking of World of Warcraft, I have heard that in March of this year, Yan Bitao of the Great Sword Sect astonishingly slayed an epic beast with a single sword strike. Such swordsmanship is truly remarkable, and I, Heng Baijie, am in great admiration. If there is an opportunity, I hope to engage in a sparring session with Yan Bitao of the Great Sword Sect.

The first sect of the Holy Light Empire

Haha, Elder Tang Zhenghai, the great Supreme Shouyang has recently displayed remarkable talent and ambition, aiming to completely eliminate the magical beasts that have invaded the vicinity of the Immortal Mountain. Your busy schedule is also a contribution to the entire human race

Prince Mu Hua, you have no right to complain. Your jurisdiction over information is essentially a mere idle position. Now that the Holy Light Empire is in a state of peace, there is no need to expend too much effort. Poor me, Tang Zhenghai, bears the entire responsibility for the affairs of the Immortal Mountain, leaving me hardly any time to catch my breath. Compared to the two of you, I truly wish to retire and return to my hometown to live out my old age.

Tang Zhenghai sighed in Haikou, his expression seemingly quite troubled.

Master Lin Xuri, it has been many years since we last met, and you still exude the same charm!

From this point on, the mainland entered a period of warlords contending for power

The Floating Sword Master, the Ethereal Spirit Real Person, and the Holy Flame Sword that slayed an epic beast with a single strike before the spatial rift in the Kaman Mountains in March, Yan Bitao of the Great Sword Sect

The heroes emerge from the youth, and the foundation of the Linmen Sword Sect is indeed extraordinarily robust. Among the older generation, there is the great mythic supreme, Lin Zhenfang, presiding over the sect. In the middle-aged generation, there are demigod-level powerhouses such as Lin Xuri, the Floating Sword Master, the Illusory Spirit True Man, and Yan Bitao of the Great Sword Sect. Among the younger generation, there are legendary powerhouses like Long Jinyun, Jing Qinghuai, Qi Tianfang, and Su Jin stepping up as successors. Just by observing the potential displayed by the Linmen Sword Sect at this moment, one can be certain that its glory will not decline for at least a thousand years.

The time is about right!

Lin Xuri spoke, his gaze already fixed on Long Jinyun

The aged man nodded slightly, leading a few individuals as he directly circled out from the side hall and proceeded towards the main hall

Heng Baijie slightly cupped his hands in salute

A middle-aged man dressed in royal robes smiled with a hint of envy, clearly showing a familiarity with Lin Xuri.

Those three individuals must be the disciples of these three great masters. Judging by their cultivation, each of them has surprisingly reached the Great Legendary Realm, and it is only a matter of time before they challenge the demigod level in the future

Similarly, it is one of the most powerful sects among the human forces on the mainland

Hehe, I have long admired the Heavenly Sabre Nine Absolute Swordsmanship created by the Lord of Jue Tian City. Heng Baijie, Heng Baizhan, and Heng Bailie, as the closed-door disciples of the Lord of Jue Tian City, have undoubtedly received the true teachings.

Oh, the world of magic... Sigh, I can only resign myself to fate.

At this moment, the ceremony of passing the position has not yet officially begun, but the entire interior and exterior of the main hall of the Linmen Sword Sect has already become extraordinarily lively. Every individual permitted to enter the main hall is stamping their feet outside, enough to make a hundred million tremble. Even the legendary powerhouses who could establish great empires before the Holy Light Empire unified the world are frequently seen here.

As for the innate realm-level powerhouses, such as Xianqian Yan, Ying Lanzhi, and Di Qianyuan, who were previously regarded as breathtakingly extraordinary, they do not even possess the qualification to enter the main hall.

Various greetings and discussions echoed continuously through the crowd. Lin Xuri, Floating Sword Master, Yan Bitao, Long Jinyun, and others naturally nodded in acknowledgment to everyone. Among them, some legendary figures and demigod-level powerhouses held high positions, and Lin Xuri would even engage in conversation with a few to show his respect

Therefore, the succession ceremony of the Linmen Sword Sect's leader is, in essence, no less significant than the transition of the throne in the Holy Light Empire. For the various forces across the continent, it can be considered a momentous event.

Beside him, in addition to a young man, there were three middle-aged individuals, two men and one woman, of similar age to him, as well as three equally young men and women, each bearing a subtle air of detachment and the presence of those in higher positions.
