Chapter 1271: Strength Breaks All Laws

At the center of the Divine Land.

A prosperous island of unknown size, far surpassing any fairyland, with countless cities and palaces. Though not as bustling as the Sky Island, it is still a terrifying place within the Fallen God's Land.

In the central capital.

Lin Ruowei and her maid traveled in a beast-drawn carriage, stopping at a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

The courtyard was unremarkable, yet it stood quietly in a corner, a rare sight in this land of gold and jade. Even Yu'er, who had recently witnessed many terrifying places in the Divine Land, was quite shocked.

After a few glances, she quietly approached and whispered.

"Miss, where is this place?"

"I finally understand why you've been so persistent in coming here recently. There must be some extraordinary figure inside, right?"

Lin Ruowei nodded slightly and whispered back.

"You've grown a bit, indeed."

"An elder of our clan has been living here for a long time. He is a blood relative of mine, and according to the family tree, I should call him Uncle Third. Like us, he belongs to the Xuanmen."

Yu'er nodded, still slightly puzzled.

"So it's Uncle Third..."

"But, Miss, your status is so noble. Even the founder of the Xuanmen is your ancestor. Why do you need to lower yourself and insist on visiting this elder multiple times?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ruowei gave her a stern look.

"Do not be disrespectful."

"Although Uncle Third holds no official position and hasn't appeared in the sect for many years, he is the pillar of our sect. It's no exaggeration to say that most major sects would retreat upon seeing him, and even the current sect leader would show him great respect!"

"If you speak disrespectfully again, I will have to punish you severely when we return."

Yu'er quickly lowered her head, sticking out her tongue in apology.

"Miss, please calm down. Yu'er will never dare to speak disrespectfully of Uncle Third again..."

But being a young maid, she couldn't help but be curious about such a great figure. She quickly put on a smile and whispered gossip.

"Miss, could you give me a hint, so I won't make any mistakes in the future? This elder must have extraordinary cultivation, right?"

Seeing the mischievous look on her maid's face, Lin Ruowei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You..."

"Uncle Third is renowned far and wide, naturally his cultivation is extraordinary. It is said that he broke through to the Heavenly Rank and reached the Half-Step Desolate Realm many years ago!"

"Even in the Divine Land, Uncle Third's talent is one in a million, having stepped into a realm we can only dream of."

Hearing this, the little maid was utterly stunned.

In her mind, she pictured an invincible figure overlooking all living beings. Even if thousands of cultivators braved dangers to come before him, they would be nothing more than ants in his presence.

The path of cultivation is long, and countless geniuses have fallen along the way.

This elder has already reached the other shore, truly a once-in-an-era genius!

Yu'er stood in a daze for a long time before coming back to her senses.

Her lively eyes were filled with awe, and she nodded in realization, her face full of shock.

"No wonder, Miss, you insisted on visiting him multiple times. This Uncle Third is truly an extraordinary elder. Compared to him, the other elders in our Xuanmen are far behind!"

Though it was just an offhand remark, she had once again fallen into her old habit of speaking carelessly.

If these words were to spread, who knows how many elders would be offended.

Lin Ruowei didn't scold her too much, but she sternly warned her.

"Do not speak carelessly."

"Our Xuanmen is full of talented individuals, and the sect leader is a man of great vision, someone countless cultivators look up to. My insistence on meeting Uncle Third is not to belittle the other elders, but for the sake of Elder Yi Feng."

Yi Feng...?

Hearing this profound name, the little maid suddenly widened her eyes in shock.

At that moment, the ancient gate slowly opened.

A calm voice gently came through.

"Come in."

The mistress and maid were delighted to hear this and quickly stopped their conversation, tidied up, and stepped inside with steady steps.

After passing through the courtyard garden.

They reached the ancient tree in the backyard, where they saw a middle-aged man tending to the flowers and plants, dressed in simple robes, pruning like an ordinary person.

Just seeing his back.

This return to simplicity and calm demeanor already filled them with admiration.

The Dao is simple, and only an elder who has reached the Desolate Realm could have such grace, embodying the profound and unfathomable highest realm!

Before Lin Ruowei could speak to greet him.

The elder slowly turned around, his face bearing traces of time, yet not making him seem old. Instead, it added a scholarly elegance to his already refined features.

His star-like eyes were particularly steady, making one feel an instant sense of closeness.

The little maid was almost mesmerized.

But the elder remained calm, clapping his hands with a smile and sitting down on a long chair.

"I, Lin Xiao, have roamed the world all my life and have long since stopped concerning myself with worldly affairs. I never thought I would meet a relative from my homeland. You are quite thoughtful."

"If you have any difficulties, speak directly."

His straightforward words seemed to see through many things at a glance.

Lin Ruowei bowed gratefully, her eyes showing a hint of guilt as she nervously explained the reason.

After her explanation.

The originally calm and composed Lin Xiao seemed to be touched, as if recalling past events, and sighed with emotion.

"Everyone in the world seeks the Dao, but countless are blinded by selfish interests."

"It's rare to find such a righteous junior, willing to stand up for a friend. This Yi Feng is indeed remarkable, and your sense of gratitude is also very commendable..."

"Very well, I will accompany you on this journey."

Hearing such a decisive statement, Lin Ruowei was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Uncle Third."

She bowed again in gratitude, her eyes filled with relief. Being able to repay Elder Yi Feng's kindness without causing trouble for Uncle Third was the best possible outcome.

But thinking about the Black Dragon Divine Guards they would face, she still had some worries.

Recently.

She had learned that although the Black Dragon Divine Guards were on the periphery, they were still a major force, and Yao Qianji was a formidable figure, having entrenched himself in the Divine Land for ten thousand years. He was no simple character...

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Ruowei honestly expressed her concerns.

"Uncle Third, your willingness to help is greatly appreciated."

"With your presence, there will be no variables, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. If the other party has complex connections, this matter might involve more."

"Perhaps I should investigate their background further before deciding on this matter?"

As soon as she spoke these hesitant words, Lin Ruowei's heart raced.

Her words were cautious, but they still sounded somewhat unpleasant. She didn't know how Uncle Third would take it, but since this matter arose from her desire to repay a debt of gratitude, out of conscience, even if it meant offending Uncle Third, she had to explain the stakes.

As Lin Ruowei waited quietly.

Lin Xiao instead laughed, his eyes showing even more appreciation.

"Haha..."

"Not bad, niece. You are indeed a promising talent. With your experience, handling matters with such calmness and thoroughness is truly commendable. Daring to speak the truth shows exceptional character."

Such insight and magnanimity truly befitted a genius elder of the clan!

His generous praise filled the mistress and maid with even more joy.

As they were rejoicing, Lin Xiao changed the topic.

"However, considerations of human relations are merely worldly views, a minor path not worth pursuing."

"When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will understand the principle that strength breaks all laws. In the face of absolute power, everything else is insignificant. When you step into the Desolate Realm, the entire Lan Star will treat you with ten thousand times more kindness."

At this point.

Lin Xiao slowly stood up, a hint of extraordinary dominance in his eyes.

"In front of me, not to mention the insignificant Black Dragon Divine Guards, even the elders of the Divine Palace would show some respect. Such a trivial matter needs no further discussion!"

As his words fell.

Lin Ruowei and Yu'er were filled with reverence, completely awed by this elder!
