Lin Dong’s eyes moved as he looked at the familiar faces in front of him. He had calmed down at this moment. Based on the current situation, he was able to determine:

He was once again caught up in the turbulence of space and time. To be more precise, it should be the turbulence of time. He returned to the days when he first entered Dao Sect.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong’s eyes flashed with joy. Although his current strength was greatly reduced, he did not feel lost at all.

Although it was a little different from what he had expected, what lay before him was the path he had always dreamed of.

Although he has always been vindictive, he claims to be no worse than anyone else in terms of forbearance, now that he knows the background of Yuan Clan and the plans of the alien demons.

This time, he would never let the Demon Emperor resurrect smoothly. As for the Palace of Heavenly King, he would also find a way to deal with it!

He was not sure enough this time and would never let the three old dogs of Yuanmen get the chance easily, so as not to leave any regrets from his previous life.

As Lin Dong was thinking, the group, led by Wudao, came to a grand and ancient hall.

Xiao Diao told Lin Dong, just like he did before, that he should focus on practicing the Great Desolate Sutra and join the Desolate Palace to learn the legendary Great Desolate Sutra. Lin Dong just responded softly.

Soon, they were carried by the light array to the top of a huge mountain. At the top of the mountain, there were palaces standing, surrounded by clouds and mist, which looked quite magical.

“Haha, Wudao, you are finally back. We couldn’t wait any longer.”

A laugh sounded, and Lin Dong suddenly raised his head, quickly scanning the dozens of figures in front of him, and finally, he landed on the figure in the red dress, unable to move away at all.

This was the figure he had been trying to find for countless days and nights, and now she was standing in front of him, as bright as when he first met her.

She is not the Ice Lord who wants to save the world, she is just Huanhuan, the quirky Huanhuan.

As if noticing Lin Dong’s violent mood swings, Xiao Diao couldn’t help but frowned and said softly:
“Why, do you know someone?”

Alerted by Xiao Diao’s voice, Lin Dong calmed down a little, shook his head gently, and his eyes sank.

“Haha, that kid called Lin Dong, is that you?” Wei Sen, the deputy hall master of the Heavenly Hall, paused and fixed his gaze on Lin Dong, with a hint of smile in his eyes:

“Just relying on the strength of Siyuan Nirvana, he was able to win the Hundred Dynasties War Championship. There really is something behind it.”

“Four Elements Nirvana?” Upon hearing this, the red-clothed girl’s gaze immediately fell on Lin Dong, with a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Wei Sen seemed to know that Lin Dong’s apparent strength alone was obviously not enough to support him to win the championship of the Hundred Dynasties War. His eyes were stern and he chuckled:
“Oh, so he is still a Four Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, no wonder.”

As soon as Wei Sen finished speaking, the red-dressed girl’s gaze subconsciously lingered on Lin Dong for a while longer, and it was obvious that she had developed a certain interest in him.

“Four-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master? That can only be comparable to a strong man at the Five-Element Nirvana Realm. Isn’t Qin Tian of the Tianyuan Dynasty a Six-Element?”

The red-dressed girl asked in astonishment, blinking her beautiful eyes and staring at Lin Dong blankly.

There was a hint of helplessness in Wudao’s eyes. As Wudao expected, Wei Sen stared at Lin Dong for a while, then smiled faintly and said:

“Haha, this Lin Dong is pretty good, he came to my Heavenly Palace.”

The self-righteous tone in his voice is still the same as it was back then.

The deputy hall masters of the Di Hall and Hong Hall on the side couldn’t help but curl their lips, feeling a little sorry that this seedling fell into the hands of the Tian Hall again, but they had no practical solution.

Wu Dao looked unhappy, but he could only wave his sleeves unwillingly and sighed helplessly at Lin Dong:
“The Heavenly Palace is the strongest of the four palaces. If you want, go to the Heavenly Palace.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong looked at the smiling Wei Sen, then looked at the frustrated Wu Dao. He could only sigh helplessly, then clasped his fists towards the former.

“Thanks to the Vice Palace Master for his kindness, but I still want to join the Desolate Palace.”

This somewhat apologetic voice sounded on the platform, and it made everyone stunned.

In the center of the hall, everyone was stunned by Lin Dong’s words. Countless astonished eyes were instantly focused on him. Only Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan had a calm look on their faces.

“Lin Dong, you…what’s wrong?”

Even Wu Dao was shocked by Lin Dong’s words. He couldn’t understand why the latter would give up the Tian Palace, which was obviously the best choice, and instead join their Huang Palace, which was at the bottom of the ranking.

The astonishment on Wei Sen’s face quickly faded away. He stared at Lin Dong with his eyes fixed on him. His brows slowly furrowed, and he said in a slightly deep tone:
“Lin Dong, I don’t mean to look down on the Desolate Palace, but I can assure you that only in the Heavenly Palace can you get the greatest improvement. You have good talent, so don’t waste your potential.”

Facing his words, Lin Dong could only look to Wu Dao for help as he did before.

Doesn’t this old guy have any intention of saying anything? At least don’t leave him alone to face the sharp gazes of these Dao Sect leaders.

Wudao’s face twitched, and Lin Dong could read a hint of surprise in his eyes. But as Lin Dong expected, after hesitating for a moment, the old man said the words that had almost made Lin Dong want to vomit blood:
“The Heavenly Palace is indeed stronger than the Desolate Palace. This is also for the sake of the sect.”

Although he had expected this, Lin Dong’s face still twitched. Soon Wu Dao gritted his teeth viciously and said in a firm tone:
“But if you really want to join our Huang Palace, I will definitely support you. Anyway, I will not destroy you no matter what.”

Lin Dong calmed down his good mood and looked at Wei Sen, who looked a little unhappy, with an apologetic look. He didn’t want to offend the deputy hall master of Tian Temple as soon as he came to Dao Sect.

Wei Sen glanced at Lin Dong, and after a moment, he could only shake his head and said indifferently:

“Since this is your own choice, I can’t say much. I just hope you can take care of yourself.”

As Lin Dong expected, Wei Sen’s tone did not contain any resentment. Lin Dong knew very well in his heart that the high-ranking officials of Dao Sect were not as narrow-minded as he imagined.

Lin Dong glanced at Ying Huanhuan expectantly, waiting for that familiar voice to ring out:
“You are too selfish.”

A clear and pleasant voice rang in his ears just as he had expected. Lin Dong calmed down and looked up, only to see the girl in red staring at him with a slightly frown.

Lin Dong was not annoyed at all after hearing this. He looked at the familiar girl in red and smiled:
“How am I selfish?” Being stared at by him, Ying Huanhuan somehow felt as if she had met him a long time ago. After blushing for a moment, she snorted softly:
“If you join the Heavenly Palace and use your already good talents, you will naturally be able to maximize your potential. The stronger you are, the more tangible benefits you will have for the sect.

But now you have given up on joining the Heavenly Palace. So, aren’t you also making the sect a little weaker? Isn’t this selfish?”

The clear sound accompanied by the tapping sound of the musical instruments lingered in everyone’s ears, giving people a refreshing feeling.

However, the sharpness and reproach contained in the girl’s clear voice made everyone except Lin Dong dumbfounded.

After hearing this, Lin Dong didn’t show any anger on his face. He looked at her and smiled softly and said:

“I think there is no strongest temple, only the temple that suits you best, right?”

The red-dressed girl raised her eyebrows after hearing this, staring at Lin Dong aggressively, and said, not wanting to be outdone:

“Although this is true in theory, the fact before you now is that the Heavenly Palace is the strongest among the four palaces!”

“I can assure you that if you join the Desolate Palace, you may not even be qualified for the next palace examination. By then, your title of champion of the Hundred Dynasties War may become a joke.”

Wei Sen, who was standing by, frowned subconsciously when he heard the girl’s words. Such words could be quite damaging to a young boy of this age who was full of vigor and vitality.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But due to Ying Huanhuan’s identity, he did not say anything, but looked at Lin Dong with some interest, as if he was looking forward to his next move.

He wanted to see how this young man from a lower-level dynasty had come this far, and what the difference was between his character and that of others, or how much ahead of his peers he was.

Although what you said makes sense, I will tell you the reason. I don’t like mediocrity in my work. Joining the Heavenly Palace is certainly good for me, but it won’t allow me to get the biggest improvement in my strength, because the Heavenly Palace doesn’t have the “Great Desolate Sutra.” “

Lin Dong looked at him with a smile on his face, replied softly, and then slowly asked again:
“Tell me, if I can comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture, do you think Dao Zong’s strength will be a little stronger or a little weaker?”

As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, everyone was stunned. After a while, they suddenly realized that this guy was going for the Great Desolate Sutra.

However, isn’t this kid too arrogant? The Great Desolate Scripture is the most mysterious martial art among the four great scriptures, but relatively speaking, the difficulty of comprehending it is also terrifying.

Over the years since the establishment of the Wilderness Palace, the number of geniuses who can comprehend it must not exceed ten fingers. How could Lin Dong dare to say this? How could he be so confident?
The red-dressed girl was obviously stunned by Lin Dong’s words, but soon a subtle arc appeared on the corner of her lips. She then stretched out her jade hand, pointed her slender jade finger at Lin Dong, and opened her red lips slightly:

“You are so arrogant and self-righteous!”

When the red-dressed girl pointed out with her jade hands, Lin Dong’s gaze stayed on the pair of green jade hands. Her hands were extremely beautiful, slender and white.

It looked like the most perfect mutton-fat jade, with slender jade-scallion fingers that were in golden proportions without the slightest flaw. Above the jade hands, there was a faint gleam of light that was a bit dazzling.

It was this pair of jade hands that once played the piano for him. Countless familiar memories kept emerging in Lin Dong’s mind, making him stunned for a moment.

Ying Huanhuan, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him in a daze. There was a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes, but her tone was still sharp:
“Although the Great Desolate Scripture is powerful, those who can successfully comprehend it are all well-known people in the Dao Sect. But do you know how many people have successfully comprehended it since the establishment of the Dao Sect?”

“Don’t accuse me of looking down on you. It’s just that you are too ambitious. If you can successfully comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture, I can do anything for you. However, if you can’t comprehend it, I’m afraid that many disciples of the Heavenly Palace will come to you to exchange ideas and exchange ideas in the future.”

“Welcome.”

Lin Dong listened to her somewhat unruly words, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, which made Xiao Diao beside him a little dazed.

This guy, when did he become so easy to talk to? Even if the other person is a woman, she wouldn’t be like this…

Wei Sen on the side obviously didn’t expect Lin Dong to say this, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong’s calm and composed temperament is indeed a good candidate, but the Great Desolate Scripture cannot be tamed by just talking…

He quickly wiped away the complicated look in his eyes, looked at Lin Dong and smiled softly:
“Since you are going for the Great Desolate Scripture, I will not force you. If you can really achieve your wish, it will be a rare happy event for the entire Dao Sect. However, I still have to remind you that some things cannot be achieved by just relying on one’s character.”

After hearing this, Lin Dong clasped his fists calmly and said, “Thank you, Deputy Palace Master, for your reminder.”

Seeing that he didn’t seem flustered, Wei Sen’s eyes flashed, and he looked at everyone and spoke again:
“Who else wants to choose the Desolate Palace?”

Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan stood beside Lin Dong without saying a word, while Liu Bai, Mo Ling and the others followed after a slight hesitation.

The idea in their minds was very simple. Since they had already followed Lin Dong to Dao Sect, they might as well follow him until the end.

What’s more, with their talents, even if they managed to join the Heavenly Palace, they probably wouldn’t be much stronger than the Desolate Palace. It would be better for them to just follow Lin Dong and stay in the Desolate Palace.

Of course, more people did not act rashly. They had no friendship with Lin Dong, and would not choose to go to the worst Deserted Palace because of him.

Seeing this scene, Wei Sen waved his sleeves, and some light flashed out, selecting some of the most talented people from the group.

Then, the deputy hall masters of the Di Hall and Hong Hall also took action and divided up the remaining talents of those with good talents. The ones left were those with relatively weaker talents.

“Now that we have finished selecting our disciples, we will leave first.”

After selecting the disciples, Wei Sen did not plan to stay any longer. He clasped his fists towards Wu Dao, then looked at Lin Dong deeply. He waved his sleeves, and his Yuan Power surged, turning into a strong wind that directly swept away the selected disciples.

“Hey, kid named Lin Dong, remember what you said. I am waiting for you to open my eyes, but before that, you should first obtain the qualification to comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra.”

The red-clothed girl seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with being choked by Lin Dong just now. She waved her hand at Lin Dong with a gloating look, then moved her delicate body and quickly followed him.

After they left, the deputy hall masters of the Di Hall and Hong Hall also left with their people. For a moment, the platform became much emptier.
