Chapter 1333: Chapter 1353: Heavenly Sword Inheritance_1

The proposal from Lan Bingwen stirred something within Lin Chen.

Although he never stated how formidable the Divine Sword Sect was, Lin Chen could tell from his confident demeanor, his victory amidst a fierce battle among powerful immortals, and his unabashed discussions in front of powerful sects like the Water God Palace that the Divine Sword Sect was likely quite dominant.

As Lan Bingwen pointed out, Lin wasn’t particularly keen on joining a sect with overly complex interpersonal dynamics. Given his identity as the Human Emperor of the Barren Wilderness, doing so would undoubtedly invite an enormous amount of trouble.

Having the strength of a Human Immortal placed him in the middle of the pack within an Immortal Sect, and there were certainly many more powerful than him.

If he could join a powerful sect with a significant status, it would indeed save him from a great deal of trouble.

Once someone is recognized with a particular status, regardless of whether others ridicule him inwardly, or if they are superior to him in strength, they can only whisper their resentment, daring not to insult or attack him openly.

Sect rules are always enforced.

Zhou Ming of the White Crane Immortal Sect inwardly cursed. He had no idea which bastard had leaked the information about this place.

What should have been a great harvest of talents for the White Crane Immortal Sect, had become a free-for-all. If they were as strong as they used to be, perhaps they would have the confidence to compete for the talents in question. However, the current White Crane Immortal Sect just wasn’t comparable.

They couldn’t match the Water God Palace’s ultimate pursuit of the Water Dao, the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace’s ultimate development of women’s cultivation techniques, or the Divine Sword Sect’s endless comprehension of Sword Dao.

Seeing Lin Chen’s brightening gaze, Zhou Ming couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

Over, it looked like he was tempted!

Truth be told, it was indeed best for Gu Yuexi to go to the Water God Palace, and Chu Jiaxue to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace. But that didn’t necessarily mean that Lin Chen had to go to the Divine Sword Sect.

After all, Xuanji Fairy did entrust this matter to the White Crane Immortal Sect. If they could indeed convince Lin Chen to join, it would be a big win for the White Crane Immortal Sect, no matter what.

Zhou Ming quickly interjected: "Lin Chen may possess the Sword Bone, but that doesn’t mean he only practices the sword, and even if he did, he doesn’t necessarily need to join your Divine Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Peak of my White Crane Immortal Sect does not lack in comparison to your Sect’s heritage..."

"Heavenly Sword Peak?"

Lan Bingwen laughed heartily: "Elder Chen, are you joking with me? I admit, with Su Shaoling, the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Divine Sword Sect is indeed unmatched, and no one in the world dares to say they are superior. However, without Su Shaoling, would it still be the Heavenly Sword Peak?"

Laughter erupted from the crowd. After all, everyone knew about the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect.

Several thousand years ago, the White Crane Immortal Sect had a genius in the Sword Dao named Su Shaoling. He understood the myriad of sword techniques and created the Heavenly Sword Technique. With one sword he swept across the Thunder Immortal Domain, unmatched by anyone.

The White Crane Immortal Sect and Heavenly Sword Peak were renowned throughout the Thunder Immortal Domain, and no one dared to disrespect them.

After Su Shaoling swept aside other Sword Dao powerhouses, he felt that he had reached a bottleneck. So, he left the White Crane Immortal Sect to pursue his Sword Dao in other Immortal Domains. He never returned.

After that, the Heavenly Sword Peak declined.

The more glorious it was then, the more desolate it is now.

Zhou Ming felt his old face burning. He forced himself to argue: "The Ancestral Master stated when he left that he left the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword on the Heavenly Sword Peak. As long as the appropriate person appears, the Heavenly Sword will reveal itself once again. With Lin Chen’s great destiny, he might be that fortunate person..."

Lan Bingwen laughed: "If anyone truly received the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword, it would be incredible indeed. However, has anyone received it in the past few thousand years? And how many disciples does the Heavenly Sword Peak have now?"

After verbally attacking Zhou Ming, Lan Bingwen turned to Lin Chen with a smile: "What do you think, will you join the Divine Sword Sect? If you do, you will be my younger martial brother, the junior uncle of the Divine Sword Sect."

While Lin Chen was indeed tempted, he didn’t rush to agree.

Joining a sect was, after all, a significant matter.

Lin Chen thanked Lan Bingwen in courteous tones, then explained that he wished to think about it further before making a decision.

Lan Bingwen promptly waved his hand in acceptance: "No problem, take your time to discuss. Once you come to a decision, whether you accept, reject, or choose another sect, just let me know."

These sects were all influential major sects. While naturally high-talented disciples were desired, they certainly wouldn’t demean themselves - maintaining their dignity at all costs.

And with this, the scramble for new recruits came to a close.

While some of the sects might have wanted to recruit Lin and the others, they simply couldn’t compete. Others had the strength to compete but the talents didn’t fit their needs. The Red Flame Sect, for example, was powerful but needed those with Fire Spirit Roots. They were particularly interested in cultivators like Zhu Family members, especially Zhu Yao, who had the Fire Spirit Body.

Zhou Ming personally escorted the three to a city hotel. Once they were settled, he said, "The things I said earlier about the Heavenly Sword Peak’s inheritance in the White Crane Immortal Sect are true. The Ancestral Master himself said he left the inheritance at Heavenly Sword Peak, but he didn’t elaborate on how it would be passed down."

"If you are not in a hurry to join the Divine Sword Sect, you can consider staying at my White Crane Immortal Sect for a while. Even if you don’t join the White Crane Immortal Sect, it’s fine. Xuanji Fairy said that you are someone with great destiny, and you may make some unexpected gains there..."
