Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 470: The Final Stage

"You have enough points?"

Fan Pan nodded.

Prince Lin Yan looked at Fan Pan. "Did you ask help from Snow Mountain Kingdom?"

"There are some of them who have excess points, so I ask them to transfer to me." Fan Pan admitted. He might have reached Nascent Soul Stage but it didn't mean that he was so powerful. In fact, he was not much better than Prince Lin Yan who only managed to earn half.

Hu Fei clicked his tongue. He looked at them. "Damn you. You still can get enough points but I only have 1,120 points even before transferring it all to you!"

Fan Pan merely passed a glance at Hu Fei and then didn't care anymore. Advancing to the next stage before reaching Nascent Soul Stage would be very risky. It was the reason why Hu Fei didn't hesitate to transfer his points away.

"You can just ask me." Lin Xiao looked at Fan Pan and scratched the back of his head. "I have excess 2,000 points more."

The others turned to look at Lin Xiao and chose not to say anything. Hu Fei was internally cursed under his breath. After all, he knew very well that Lin Xiao had grown more powerful just around three years ago.

Now?

Common sense would not work anymore.

Prince Lin San grinned as he knew that Lin Xiao had excess of more than 7,000 points. It was only because he had transferred some to Prince Lin Yan and Princess Lan Yi Hua that the point excess was only 2,000 points.

He planned on telling Hu Fei about this later when the others have reached the final stage.

Gong!

"Time's up! Those who have more than 10,000 points might ascend the stairs!"

At this moment, the mountain in front of them suddenly changed as a large stairs appeared before them.

Lin Xiao was surprised but he felt as if he was back to the day when he first entered Sun Dragon Academy.

"The ranking will be based on how high you can ascend in this 10,000 steps!"

"I'll be going now."

The others nodded as many other cultivators had already started to step on the stairs. From the moment they stepped on the stair, they looked like ordinary human as they walked in the same pace and continued walking upwards.

It was clear:

They were seeing illusion as they walked up the stairs.

Lin Xiao passed a glance at Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Isn't this familiar?"

"Yes." Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled faintly. She could certainly remember the few steps back at Sun Dragon Academy. At that time, there were only 10 or so steps but they all could be called good as long as they could pass even a step.

Now, there were 10,000 steps.

"Back then, we didn't even showcase our ability. Isn't it time for us to no longer hold back, then?" Lin Xiao let out a hearty laugh. He was feeling happy and refreshed. Not having to hide his real ability and talent was indeed a joyful feeling.

After all, restraining oneself was not easy as it also didn't feel too good.

"Mhm."

They slowly walked to the stairs. The moment Lin Xiao stepped up, he noticed that he could no longer hear the sounds nor sensing anything from outside. All of his attention was solely focused on the stairs before him. It was as if this stair had become the sole existence in the world.

In the next moment, Lin Xiao sensed the flow of Qi as burst of lake Qi began to fill around him and countless images appeared before him.

His eyes merely swept a glance across them.

Before he advanced to Nascent Soul Stage, he might be interested in those images because they were provoking his desires and also his memory. But after advancing to Nascent Soul Stage, his memory was refreshed and his soul memory also resurfaced, letting him to know the truth of his birth, his missing childhood and many things.

The position as the Emperor would be his because it was his destiny but how he achieved it all depended on him.

He would not follow a route that others made for him. He was a free person and had his own thoughts. There was no way he wanted to do things in accordance to how others wanted it.

It would be in accordance to how he wanted it!

He would shape his own future!

As the thoughts emerged within his mind, Dragon Power swirled around his body. Ordinary people would not be able to notice this as they would not even be able to sense it. All they could sense was that Lin Xiao looked more ethereal and powerful

But the reason was totally unclear.

"This Lin Xiao… he finally gained the dragons' total approval?" Lin Hu was shocked.

He had been with Lin Xiao for more than a decade and naturally watched Lin Xiao's growth from the closest possible distance possible. From an extremely annoying brat who only knew how to talk big but still preserve, to a reckless youth who learned how the world worked, then to a powerful martial artist and the Emperor of a small kingdom.

Step by step, he was changing.

But at the same time, he was still the same mischievous youth.

He would do things in accordance to the way he thought it was right, he would take risk if it meant that he would grow stronger, he would protect his friends, and fight for what was his.

But being an Emperor meant that there would be other responsibility he had to fulfil. Being strong was just one of the few requirements he would need in order to be able to govern the kingdom.

Lin Hu smiled. Now, Lin Xiao had truly achieved the acknowledgment, Xiao Hu Kingdom would surely grow under his lead.

And with the Dragon Power that he had, there was no doubt that he would grow even more stronger in the future.
