Azure flower continent

The Lin family mansion, Fire Cloud City, Eastern continent.

On the north side of the mansion, in a secluded old building.

On top of a small building, a youth slightly frowned as he looked at the old rusty sword in his hands after trying different methods to cause a reaction from the sword.

This youth seemed to be around fourteen to fifteen years old, a handsome and brilliant kid with his long silk gold hair reaching his shoulder; the only flaw was that his body was rather skinny.

This youth's name was Lin Feng, the son of the fifth elder of the Lin family. But when he was five years old, his father died of an illness. After his father's sudden death, with his low talent, he was abandoned by the Lin family and forced to live in this old building.

The Lin family trash, after being stuck in the first-grade mortal realm for five years, while his peers were in the third-grade mortal realm.

The Azure flower continent was divided into two realms; the lower realm and the upper realm. The Cultivation level was divided into; the mortal realm, the xiantian realm, the heaven realm, the legend realm, the God realm, and the saint realm... The Lower realm consists of the Eastern continent, Western continent, Northern continent, Southern continent, and the Central continent.

But in the Lin family, the highest cultivation was just a third-grade xiantian expert.

"I have tried different methods to cause a reaction from the sword."

Lin Feng frowned looking at the sword; suddenly, an idea came up. He then cut his palm with a small knife and dripped his blood on the sword. As soon as his blood touched the sword, the sword flew out of his grasp and hovered above with white lights coming out of the sword in different directions. When Lin Feng looked at the sword, its appearance had changed from an old rusty sword to a long greatsword with a body that was red and a tip with a gold color with ancient words and symbols carved on it.

Lin Feng could not understand the ancient words and symbols, but the word that stood out was the name of the sword "SWORD OF DESTINY."

Lin Feng was shocked at the imposing name of the sword and murmured to himself, "SWORD OF DESTINY." Immediately, the sword vibrated with a sword howl, producing a dazzling light that pierced through the skies.

In the upper realm of the Azure Flower continent, in a dark room, a middle-aged man opened his eyes and saw the dazzling white light in the sky.

"The sword of destiny has awakened, but why is the source of energy coming from the lower realm?" the middle-aged man murmured as he took out a communication talisman.

"First elder, send a bunch of disciples to investigate where the phenomenon took place."

Several locations in the upper realm received instructions through several communication talismans.

"If you find the wielder of the sword of destiny, befriend him. But if he is your enemy, kill him."

"Send experts to where the energy is coming from."

"See that dazzling light in the sky."

"Where is that coming from?" several people said.

While at the Lin family mansion, Lin Feng was shocked by what happened because he found the sword in the mountains at the back of the Lin family when he went hunting. He vividly remembered that the sword fell from the sky.

"This is going to grab the attention of the elders."

Lin Feng immediately tried to grab the hilt of the sword; as he touched it, he passed out. Opening his eyes slightly and looking around, he found himself in a different place.

"What is this place?" Lin Feng said as he looked forward and saw a middle-aged man on a throne with the same hair as him wearing a golden robe; his chin resting on his hands his eyes were closed as if he were dead, and the sword in his right hand.

Lin Feng was shocked; this was the same sword as the one who brought him here. As Lin Feng took a step forward, the middle-aged man opened his eyes staring at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was scared out of his wits; this man's gaze was terrifying. He never felt this pressure even in front of the Lin family patriarch who was a third-grade xiantian expert. Could he be in the legendary saint realm? Lin Feng thought.

"Esteemed sir, em, em, em, I'm Lin Feng," Lin Feng said as he cupped his fist.

"How did you get the recognition of the sword with this strength and talent?" the man said, staring at Lin Feng with his eyes trying to find anything special about him.

"What the heck," Lin Feng thought.

"Hmph, are you willing to become the successor of the sword of destiny or die?" the man said with an imposing aura.

"He is threatening me but I have no choice," Lin Feng murmured.

"Ok, I'm willing to become the successor of the sword, but with this my low talent," Lin Feng said with a confused face.

"Don't worry your destiny has been altered; this is the cultivation technique of the sword," the man said as a book with an ancient aura surrounding it flew over to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was shocked; his destiny had been altered as he checked the book Sword of Destiny manual and discovered it was divided according to the level of cultivation. "Esteemed sir, do you have any martial skill?" Lin Feng said.

"Take this."

"Esteemed sir, I will not disappoint you," Lin Feng cupped his fist.

"Now you can go; come back when you reach the heaven realm," the man said as he waved his hands at Lin Feng and went back to his sleeping posture.

"Who was that man but we do look alike."

Lin Feng, who was back at the mansion, opened his eyes and grabbed the sword, but the sword had returned to its former appearance. He glanced through the martial skills; he was shocked as these skills were saint martial skills: Cloud Palm Technique, Dragon Fist Technique, and Azure Sword Technique.
