Jiangnan City.

In the suburbs.

In a simple house, more than ten top big shots of Xia country's martial arts world were gathered.

Those who could be an elder of Xia country's Grandmaster Hall were at least at the level of a War God. For example, Elder Zijin, who lived in Xia country's Martial Arts Administration all year round, was also among them.

It could be said…

Half of Xia country's martial arts world was gathered in such a small house.

However, the ordinary people around this house were completely unaware.

"Hall Master, you really live in seclusion!" A middle-aged man in a Tang suit smiled.

The middle-aged man's surname was Jiang and his name was He. He was a War God expert living in seclusion in Jiangnan City and one of the elders of the Grandmaster Hall in Xia country.

Previously, when Lin Mo was assassinated, God of War Jiang He had actually sensed it.

However, Jiang He was quite far away at that time, and it was only a Martial Dao master who attempted to assassinate Lin Mo in the beginning. When he saw that Principal Tu and the others could already control the situation, he did not rush over.

Later on, when the number one expert of the Cherry Blossom Country, the "Village Chief", attacked, Jiang He also realized that Lin Mo was in a desperate situation, but it was already too late to rush over to save him.

Moreover, even if he could rush over in time, it was impossible for him to protect Lin Mo from the "village chief"!

The number one expert of the Cherry Blossom Country, a super powerhouse ranked among the top on the entire Blue Planet. A peak War God was not to be trifled with!

Fortunately, the "Hall Master", the number one expert of Xia country and also suspected to be the number one expert of all humans on the Blue Planet, was hiding in Jiangnan City, so he saved Lin Mo.

"Jiangnan City is my hometown after all. You are living in such a simple place despite being here, the other elders thought that I was treating you badly!" Jiang He joked.

"Elder Jiang!" Elder Zijin reminded him. "To my master, is there any difference where he lives?"

Jiang He couldn't help but be slightly stunned before he reacted.

'Indeed!'

To a figure like the "Hall Master", no matter how simple the straw hut was, it would be no different from a dazzling palace.

Because the status of the hall master was too noble!

It was so noble that he had long left the stage of material enjoyment!

To the hall master, gold was no different from dung! Naturally, there was no difference between a thatched house and a palace.

"Let's talk business!" the hall master said. "I've isolated the surroundings with my vital essence. Even our next-door neighbors won't hear us."

"Yes! To business!"

The elders immediately became serious.

"I'm sure everyone knows Lin Mo's strength and talent!" the Hall Master said again.

"Yes!" The elders nodded.

"When I heard about Lin Mo's true strength, I was really shocked!"

"Isn't that so? I originally thought that Lin Mo's talent was already very heaven-defying, but I didn't expect his true talent to be ten times stronger than what he revealed previously!"

"At the age of 18, he suppressed a senior martial arts grandmaster… Although he used the thin film battle suit to protect himself, this already shows Lin Mo's strength!"

"What's even more terrifying is Lin Mo's growth speed! I don't know how he cultivated. It's simply unimaginable!"

Hearing the discussions of the elders, the Hall Master said calmly, "A peerless genius can't be measured by common sense! However… The competition for the inheritance of the Primordial Universe's controller is imminent. It's our Xia country's fortune to have a genius like Lin Mo!"

"I called you here today because I have two things to discuss," the Hall Master continued. "First, when the Ground of Sharpening is about to open, I'll personally bring Lin Mo to the outer realm battlefield. At that time, it's best if a few of you come and follow me. After all… escorting Lin Mo safely to the Ground of Sharpening is very simple, but we still have to try our best to stop the geniuses of other martial arts countries from entering the whetstone!"

"That's right!"

"Indeed!"

The elders nodded.

"Only geniuses can enter the Ground of Sharpening. It's also a place for a group of geniuses to compete for the inheritance of the Primordial Universe Controller."

"Although Lin Mo's talent is heaven-defying, he hasn't cultivated martial arts for long after all. In terms of strength, he actually doesn't have much of an advantage compared to those older geniuses!"

"Before we figure out the rules for the Primordial Universe Controller to choose an heir, our best solution is to… try our best to prevent the geniuses of other martial arts countries from entering the Ground of Sharpening."

All the elders understood the Hall Master's intentions.

Since they didn't know what the rules for the Primordial Universe Controller to choose an heir were, they will think of a way to help Lin Mo reduce the number of competitors.

As for whether this would anger the Primordial Universe Controller…

There was no need to worry! In the eyes of the Primordial Universe Controller, the Blue Planet humans were like a group of ants and were not qualified to anger him.

If they really attracted a warning from the Primordial Universe Controller, they could just let the geniuses of other martial arts countries into the training ground.

Of course, in the eyes of the Hall Master and the elders, the Primordial Universe Controller would most likely not care about them. After all, Lin Mo's talent was there, so it was naturally impossible for the Primordial Universe Controller to care about obstructing other competitors whose talent was much inferior to Lin Mo.

"Yes!" The Hall Master nodded and said, "At that time, I'll full-heartedly escort Lin Mo into the Ground of Sharpening. I'll leave the matter of obstructing the geniuses of other countries to you!"

"Master, don't worry!" Elder Zijin said, "Other than the White Eagle Confederation and the Great Bear Kingdom, there are no other martial arts countries with extraordinary wargods! Moreover, there aren't many wargod experts in those weak martial arts countries. If we send a few more elders, we should be able to stop many geniuses!"

This was the sorrow of a weak martial arts country!

Even if they had some really powerful geniuses, their geniuses might not even have a chance to fight for the inheritance!

Whether the inheritance was obtainable or not was another matter! They did not even have the right to compete. That made them very uncomfortable!

"That's the first thing! As for how to execute it, Zijin, go and think of a plan!" The hall master waved his hand and said, "The second thing is… I feel that the person who will eventually obtain the inheritance of the Primordial Universe Controller might not be Lin Mo!"

"Oh?" The elders were slightly taken aback, but they all reacted.

The Hall Master continued, "Don't forget that the Primordial Universe Controller personally told me that he took a super genius away from our Xia country and personally nurtured him! We originally thought that the super genius who was taken away was 'Black Earth', but we already know that Black Earth is actually Lin Mo, so… the super genius who was taken away must be someone else!"

"Lin Mo's talent is indeed heaven-defying! However… What kind of great existence is the Primordial Universe Controller? How sharp is his judgment?" The Hall Master sighed with emotion. "He didn't take Lin Mo away, but he took away another super genius. Doesn't that mean that that super genius's talent is even more terrifying than Lin Mo's?"

"This is the second thing I want to say! The person who finally obtained the inheritance of the Primordial Universe Controller might not be Lin Mo, but someone else! Fortunately, that super genius is also from our Xia country!"

After the Hall Master finished speaking, the elders discovered a terrifying thing. That was… with Lin Mo's heaven-defying talent, he could only be considered a spare tire when fighting for the inheritance of the Primordial Universe Controller? It was very likely that the Primordial Universe Controller had long thought of passing his inheritance to another super genius!

Fortunately, that super genius who was even more outstanding than Lin Mo was also from Xia country!
