Lin Xuan observed his information for a moment. He was actually a Divine Sea Realm grandmaster! If the Stygian Realm was a master level, then the Divine Sea realm was a grandmaster level! It had to be known that even the current sect master of the Saint Sword Sect was only at the Divine Sea Realm!
“As expected of someone from the royal family…” Lin Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart. He stepped into the hall on the second floor and cupped his hands towards Dongfang Yue.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
Dongfang Yue smiled and nodded slightly. “Come in, no need to stand on ceremony. Master Shenyuan, you should go back and rest.”
Looking at Lin Xuan, the old man nodded and retreated.
Dongfang Yue said, “Feel free to sit. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”
“Thank you, Princess.” Lin Xuan sat down, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“I have seen your performance today. You are truly one to repay kindness with hatred. However, there is one thing that I do not understand. How come I have never heard of your abilities?”
Indeed, an expert like Lin Xuan could not be hidden within Heavenly Flame Kingdom.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, “I’m nothing more than a wild crane in the clouds. I’m just a wandering martial artist. I haven’t joined any sects, and I haven’t left the mountain for many years. It’s normal for me to be nameless. Moreover, the powerhouses of Heavenly Flame Kingdom are as numerous as trees in a forest. How could I possibly be worthy of your attention, Princess?”
Dongfang Yue nodded and said, “You are too modest. So you’re an unaffiliated cultivator?”
She was skeptical. She really could not believe that an unaffiliated cultivator could actually reach such a level! However, Dongfang Yue did not continue asking. Instead, she picked up the wine cup and downed the contents in one gulp, completely lacking the reservedness of a royal princess.
Lin Xuan also took the opportunity to glance at Dongfang Yue, seeing her exact information.
[Cultivation: Stygian Realm Middle Phase.]
[Hidden Message 1: Due to the Frost Curse, she will die when she turns 18 years old. There are only two months left.]
Seeing this, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was truly the fate of a beautiful woman. Lin Xuan had heard of this curse before. This sort of person was born with extraordinary talent, and their cultivation speed could be said to be extremely fast!
However, this was also a curse. As one grew older, the chances of this curse breaking out would also increase. Although it could be suppressed using medicinal pills and other methods, it was ultimately unable to be removed. Once one reached the age of 18, even immortals would find it difficult to save them, and they would definitely die from the curse! However, if they could completely eradicate the curse of frost before the age of 18, they would definitely achieve great things in the future!
However, most people would still die before they turned 18!
“To think that this Dongfang Yue would be able to live to the age of 17. Furthermore, she is less than two months away from the age of 18. The royal family must have paid a huge price for this.” Lin Xuan thought.
At this moment, Dongfang Yue spoke again.
“Ten days later, a mystic realm will open somewhere outside the borders of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom. That mystic realm is the Secret Realm of the Saints. It is said that there might be the inheritance power of the saints hidden inside. Currently, only the royal family of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom knows about this… Maybe the royal families of the other empires know about it too.”
“The Secret Realm of the Saints?” Lin Xuan was stunned. Why did she suddenly mention this to him?
That was a powerhouse that stood at the pinnacle of the entire continent, a legendary existence! Currently, there were a few Holy Lands hidden in the eastern desolate lands of their Heavenly Flame Kingdom. However, only those Holy Lands that had dominated for a hundred years could reach such a level!
Lin Xuan continued to ask, “Your Highness, are you planning to let me be your helper?”
Dongfang Yue shook her head with a smile and said, “I just want to ask you to travel with me. With your aptitude, you are completely worthy of being roped in by our Heavenly Flame Kingdom’s royal family. As long as you are willing to work for our royal family, I can appoint you as the commander.”
