《Dragon Blood God King》


 C1

    The Sky Dragon Continent was ruled by the dragon race billions of years ago, but by now, the dragon race had already risen to the Heaven Realm. In the Sky Dragon Continent, only the dragon race''s legends remained.


    But the people of Sky Dragon Continent all called themselves the descendants of dragons.


    In this place, the martial dao was respected.


    The extremes of martial dao could overturn the rivers and seas, move mountains and move the mountains, and travel through the void. Those who had mastered the arts could defy the heavens and change fate, and could even question longevity.


    Here, the sect was endless, and nations were everywhere. In this endless land of good mountains and rivers, countless experts had left their mark on this continent, and it had become an unstoppable legend.


    Tian Luo Country, Qing Province, Sky Dragon City, Qing Ya Mountain.


    At this time, atop the Green Cliff Mountain, a young man put away the Profound Grade Elixir he had just harvested and climbed upwards. For the sake of this Elixir, he had been guarding that cave in the cliff ever since last night.


    However, for this spiritual medicine, his chest was also bitten by the rank 1 Monstrous Beast, the Jade Blood Snake.


    Although the wound was not big, it was extremely toxic and could not be underestimated. However, the youth still had to quickly deliver the elixir to his beloved one before he could treat the wound.


    The young man had already made an appointment with his sweetheart last night and said that he would give her a surprise this morning. Now that the sky was already bright, Xue''er should be arriving soon.


    "Lin Tian?" Just as he climbed up the cliff, the youth heard a familiar shout.


    "Xue''er!" Lin Tian did not bother to rest and immediately walked forward. On the side of the cliff stood his beloved, Jiang Ru Xue.


    Lin Tian looked at the graceful figure in white and his heart was filled with gratitude. It was not in vain that he wasted a night of hard work. Xue''er had come at the right time.


    Lin Tian covered the wound on his chest and happily walked forward: "Xue''er, I knew you would come."


    "Speak, why are you looking for me so early?" Jiang Ru Xue frowned. She was obviously unhappy.


    "Xue''er, look. What is this?" Lin Tian didn''t even notice that Jiang Ru Xue''s expression wasn''t right. He happily took out the Profound Grade Spirit Medicine, Bone Ablutionary Fruit that still had his body temperature, and passed it to her.


    Lin Tian excitedly said: "This is a Profound Grade Spirit Medicine Bone Ablutionary Fruit. With it, you might be able to break through to Qi Disciple level 4 this time."


    Seeing the Bone Ablutionary Fruit, Jiang Ru Xue''s expression immediately became unnatural. She finally understood why Lin Tian had mysteriously asked her to come to the Green Cliff Mountain last night and wanted to give her a surprise. He had actually come to pick the spirit medicine for her.


    Lin Tian''s talent was excellent, but Jiang Ru Xue''s talent was too poor, so Lin Tian wanted to pick the Bone Ablutionary Fruit for her.


    After understanding this point, and looking at the large stain of blood on Lin Tian''s chest clothes, Jiang Ru Xue immediately understood everything. But she still only silently looked at Lin Tian and didn''t take the Bone Ablutionary Fruit from Lin Tian''s hands.


    "Xue''er, quickly take it. I specially picked it for you. What happened to you?" Lin Tian saw that Jiang Ru Xue did not accept the Bone Ablutionary Fruit nor did she speak. He could not help but to ask curiously.


    "Merely a Profound level spiritual medicine and you want to bribe my woman?" Just at this moment, a well-dressed young master suddenly walked out from not too far away and coldly stared at Lin Tian.


    The young master was valiant and had a slender figure, but there was a trace of pride on his face. It was obvious that he was a son of a rich family.


    For the young master to suddenly appear, Lin Tian faintly felt that there was a sense of familiarity. After thinking for a while, Lin Tian shouted in surprise: "Young Prince Luo Chen!"


    In Tian Luo Country, the royal family was surnamed Luo. Under Tian Luo Country, there were many counties. Each county had over a hundred cities, and each city had a king overseeing it.


    The person in front of him was the Prince here, the only son of King Yongan named Luo Lie, Sky Dragon City''s young prince, Luo Chen!


    Luo Chen, Lin Tian, and Jiang Ru Xue were all training in Sky Dragon City''s Sky Dragon Academy, so Lin Tian knew him. But Luo Chen was at the 5th level of Qi Disciple, so he was a bit stronger than Lin Tian.


    Luo Chen walked towards Jiang Ru Xue and pulled her into his embrace with a disdainful smile on his face as he said, "A trash from the commoner district actually knows me. Since that''s the case, I''ll spare your life. Get lost, don''t delay my good fortune."


    Lin Tian saw Luo Chen tightly hug Jiang Ru Xue. Moreover, Jiang Ru Xue didn''t resist and only lowered her head. How could he not understand the meaning behind that?


    But Lin Tian didn''t dare believe that Xue''er, who grew up with him in the commoner district and was such an arrogant woman, was actually thrown into the arms of the young prince.


    That young prince was a playboy, without a doubt. Jiang Ru Xue had always been a noble and noble person, how could this be possible ¡­


    "Xue''er, why is this happening? Didn''t you say that you would always be with me? " Lin Tian was filled with rage as he angrily roared.


    Luo Chen hugged Jiang Ru Xue tighter and said with a cold smile, "Follow you?" If she followed you, would she be able to enter the Azure Province Academy? If she followed you, when would she be able to open her Qi Sea? However, if you follow me, she will soon be able to enter the Azure Province Academy. If you follow me, she will have access to endless cultivation resources and the guidance of a master teacher.


    "Xue''er, tell me, this isn''t real. Luo Chen threatened you with all of this." Lin Tian''s face suddenly became bloodless.


    Jiang Ru Xue gently struggled to free Luo Chen''s arm. She slowly raised her head and said gently, "Lin Tian, I''m sorry. You can''t give me everything I want, but the young prince can give me. You can keep the Essence Purification Fruit. We won''t meet again in the future."


    Boom!" Jiang Ru Xue''s words was like a bolt of thunder that exploded in Lin Tian''s mind. Lin Tian repeatedly retreated a few steps, his face ashen.


    Jiang Ru Xue looked at Lin Tian''s expression and slightly frowned, but didn''t say anything more. She pulled Luo Chen and was about to leave.


    "Go to hell!" Lin Tian looked at the two''s backs as they left. He could no longer restrain his anger and it instantly exploded out.


    "Thundering Wind Finger!" Lin Tian madly roared, his two fingers moved, a powerful Essence Qi immediately wrapped around his finger and with a flick of his finger, it was as if there was wind and thunder moving forward, directly towards Luo Chen.


    "You are really courting death. A mere Mortal Realm Stage 4 expert dares to attack me like this?" Luo Chen was already prepared. He let out a cold laugh as a fiery red Essence wrapped around his right fist. His strength of the 5th level of the Mortal Realm exploded forth as he punched towards Lin Tian''s Wind Thunder Finger.


    "Bam!" The instant the fist and fingers collided, the power behind Lin Tian''s finger was directly shattered by Luo Chen''s fist. Not only that, the fist had passed through Lin Tian''s finger and landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s body was sent flying and heavily crashed into the ground.


    Luo Chen clearly didn''t have any intention of letting Lin Tian go. Instead, he moved in a flash and arrived in front of Lin Tian. Both of his fists landed on Lin Tian''s chest.


    "No!" Jiang Ru Xue was watching from behind. She already knew that Luo Chen wanted to kill Lin Tian. She wanted to stop him, but it was already too late!


    Luo Chen''s fists were like raindrops as they landed on Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian had just been poisoned by the snake poison and his strength was inferior to Luo Chen''s to begin with. Currently, he didn''t have any strength to fight back.


    Bright red blood gushed out, staining the ground red.


    Ah!" A mournful scream suddenly came out. Lin Tian screamed in fear: "My ¡­ ¡­" My meridians, my... "My Essence!


    Luo Chen was truly determined to kill. Luo Chen did not hold back at all for those punches just now. Luo Chen''s Essence Qi had completely penetrated Lin Tian''s body, shattering all the meridians in his body.


    The meridians were channels for the circulation of Essence. After the meridians were destroyed, the Essence Qi in his body could no longer be stored. The Essence Qi then disappeared from Lin Tian''s body.


    He stared at Luo Chen with bloodshot eyes and said angrily: "Luo Chen, you destroyed my meridians, you destroyed my path of martial cultivation. You better kill me now, or else in the future, I, Lin Tian, will return it a hundred times!"


    "Hahaha..." Luo Chen let out a few loud laughs as if he had just heard a hilarious joke, but then his expression suddenly turned malevolent.


    Immediately afterwards, Luo Chen once again stepped on Lin Tian''s lower abdomen.


    He used his strength to twist it, causing Lin Tian''s scream to ring out again.


    "You still dare to threaten me? Fine, I''ll cripple your Dantian and make it so that you''ll never be able to cultivate. I want to see how you''re going to take revenge on me!" Luo Chen''s foot stepped on Lin Tian''s dantian, crippling it.


    The Dantian was a place that contained Essence Qi and was the source of Qi Gathering, but now, Luo Chen had crippled Lin Tian''s Dantian like this. Lin Tian could forget about cultivating martial arts for his entire life.


    Lin Tian painfully covered his lower abdomen as he miserably roared: "Luo Chen, if I, Lin Tian, do not die, I will definitely pull out your tendons and skin to vent the hatred in my heart!"


    Luo Chen laughed madly, then roared at Lin Tian, "How interesting, didn''t you want to provoke me to kill you, but I did not kill you, I want to see, you previously famous genius, now that your meridians have been shattered, your dantian has been destroyed, how many people will still respect you, I want to see how many people will respect you, and I want to see all the people who supported you to the sky, now they are stepping on you like trash!"


    Luo Chen''s expression became more and more ferocious: "Little bastard, who do you think you are, a trash that grew up in a commoner district, a bastard whose parents don''t even know who you are, and you still want to compete with me for Sky Dragon City''s number one genius?"


    They were both cultivating in the Sky Dragon Academy, but the dean had always thought highly of Lin Tian. Everyone in Sky Dragon City knew Lin Tian''s name, and some even called Lin Tian the number one genius of Sky Dragon City.


    Lin Tian didn''t say a single word and only painfully held onto his own dantian. At this moment, he was like a dead dog lying on the ground, not moving at all.


    Luo Chen looked at Jiang Ru Xue who wasn''t far away, then bent down to Lin Tian''s ear and grinned fiendishly: "How about it, I want you to watch me play with your woman. Also, do you know why I''m here?"


    That''s because I wanted to try out what it was like to be in the wild with this woman. Take a guess, she agreed to it, didn''t you take her as a goddess in your heart? Didn''t you always feel that she was pure and pure, proud and arrogant?


    As he finished speaking, the dark side of Luo Chen''s heart was completely revealed as he punched and kicked Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian laid on the ground, letting Luo Chen crazily beat him up. Compared to beating him up, the thing that dealt a greater blow to Lin Tian were Luo Chen''s words just now. Especially when it came to Jiang Ru Xue, Lin Tian''s heart was like dying embers.


    "Why aren''t you speaking? My Heavenly Dragon City''s number one genius? " Luo Chen''s mouth had a hint of a vengeful smile.


    Luo Chen kicked Lin Tian off the cliff, his voice was accompanied by the howling of the wind: "Trash, I know what you''re thinking, come find me if you have the ability, I''ll be waiting for you to take revenge, don''t worry, I''ll keep this broken shoe for you ¡­ ¡­"


    Luo Chen pulled Jiang Ru Xue along and left. His wild laughter continuously weakened until Lin Tian couldn''t hear it anymore.


    Lin Tian''s heart was dead grey. He knew how high this Green Cliff Mountain was. If he fell like this, he would definitely die, but he could not stop his body from falling.


    "Luo Chen!" Lin Tian clenched his teeth, the anger in his heart exploded out, "If I, Lin Tian am lucky enough to not die, I will tear you into a million pieces, Jiang Ru Xue, you are no exception!"


    But also at this time, a wave of dizziness suddenly came over. And because of the excessive blood loss, Lin Tian already seemed to be a bit delirious.


    He shook his head with all his might and looked at the blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. Lin Tian immediately laughed bitterly: "I didn''t think that the snake poison would actually break out now!"

 C2

    Just now when he was harvesting spiritual medicine, Lin Tian had been bitten by the Jade Blood Serpent. Although he had taken the antidote pill, the snake''s poison was too fierce, so the antidote could only relieve the time of the poison. In order to completely remove the poison, he had to use his own Essence to expel the poison from his body.


    But now, his meridians and dantian had been completely destroyed by Luo Chen without a trace of energy in his body. Not to mention forcing out the poison, even if he wanted to rely on his energy to grab onto the rocks on the cliff and stop falling, it would be impossible.


    He didn''t have any strength left, so he was no different from a cripple.


    With a "peng" sound, Lin Tian''s body heavily fell off the cliff. The huge rebound force shattered all the tendons and bones in his body. Lin Tian was currently bleeding from all seven apertures and he only felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier, so much so that he could feel his life rapidly disappearing.


    However, at this moment, a strange metal plate that was originally hanging around his neck suddenly began to change.


    An extremely strange pattern suddenly appeared on the metal tablet. The pattern on the metal tablet was densely packed like a ravine. At this moment, Lin Tian''s blood had already completely filled the ravine and the entire metal tablet had started to turn blood-red.


    After being stained by Lin Tian''s blood, the patterns on the metal tablet seemed to have revived and actually started squirming around on the metal tablet.


    That pattern bared its fangs and brandished its claws, puffing out clouds of mist. It was the shape of that divine dragon that had long disappeared from the Sky Dragon Continent.


    At this time, the dragon tattoo floated above the metal tablet for a while before entering Lin Tian''s chest.


    Ah!" Lin Tian suddenly woke up from his coma and couldn''t help but wildly roar. He suddenly felt a burning sensation coming from his chest.


    As he struggled to strip off his clothes, he discovered that a dragon tattoo had appeared out of nowhere on his chest.


    It was right on his chest.


    Lin Tian looked at the dragon tattoo and couldn''t help but be a bit surprised. However, the weirder thing was that the metal plate on his neck had disappeared.


    There was only a dragon-shaped tattoo left on his chest.


    "Where is my iron plate?" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with grief. From what Uncle Yu said, it was the only thing his father had left him, but this metal plate had now disappeared.


    Amidst the sorrow, another heart-wrenching pain came from Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian felt as if something in his body had suddenly exploded.


    At this moment, the meridians in his body had been thoroughly torn apart by an enormous brute force.


    Lin Tian was in so much pain that he wanted to split open. He painfully howled as he continuously pounded his head on the ground until he gradually lost consciousness.


    But before he fainted, Lin Tian''s hoarse voice came out: "Not only have my meridians been destroyed, my dantian was destroyed, and now even my meridians have been completely shattered. In this life, I can only stay in bed, and I can''t even become a cripple.


    "Drip, drip." After Lin Tian fainted, the blood in his body suddenly started to boil.


    At this moment, a huge change was happening in his body!


    The moment the dragon-shaped pattern entered Lin Tian''s body, it turned into a drop of fresh, red, and glistening blood. It flowed down along the damaged meridians in Lin Tian''s body and finally stopped in Lin Tian''s dantian.


    Lin Tian''s body''s crippled meridian channels, along with the flow of that drop of blood, melted into nothingness. Lin Tian just felt his meridian channels being torn apart by a huge brute force. That power was the power of that drop of blood.


    However, as Lin Tian''s meridians became hypocritical, another meridian like thing began to take root within his dantian and began to wildly grow. Finally, it passed through Lin Tian''s entire body!


    Lin Tian''s crippled dantian had also been changed by this sudden drop of blood. Originally, Lin Tian''s dantian was already crippled, but at this moment, the qi and blood in his body was unceasingly gathering, all of it gathering at Lin Tian''s dantian.


    First it was torn, then it was ravaged.


    This feeling lasted for a moment before Lin Tian''s figure suddenly exploded out, crazily roaring.


    It was just that Lin Tian''s angry roar wasn''t that of a human''s, it was more like the dragon''s roar from the legends.


    "Sizzle sizzle!" At the same time, Lin Tian''s skin also gradually turned blood-red. One after another, scale-like patterns appeared on his skin.


    At this moment, in Lin Tian''s dantian, a drop of blood full of energy was quietly floating. At this moment, it was emitting a dark red color.


    Of course, Lin Tian''s damaged dantian could not hold that drop of blood, and his dantian was also completely melted and no longer existed.


    But the moment Lin Tian''s dantian disappeared, a small whirlpool appeared in his lower abdomen. That whirlpool completely replaced Lin Tian''s dantian, and that drop of blood was currently silently standing in the whirlpool.


    After Lin Tian let out that dragon''s roar, in the space nine days away, a loud roar suddenly exploded: "The Dragon Transformation Token has finally awakened, and the Ancestral Dragon''s blood has finally found the inheritance! "Junior, since you have inherited the heritage of my Dragon God clan, you will be considered my Dragon God Clan. Hornless, you still haven''t awoken, and are now assisting my Dragon Clan''s descendants."


    As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon soul suddenly fell from the sky and entered Lin Tian''s body once again.


    At the same time, that voice sounded once again. "Younger generation, the future hope of our Dragon Clan is all on you."


    However, not long after that voice was released, an explosive shout suddenly came from outside the air, "Insolent dragon, you actually dare to appear. Dragon Slaying Token! Kill without mercy! "


    Above the nine heavens, thunder roared and black smoke billowed into the sky. It was as if an extremely fierce fight was erupting.


    After a long while, the voice from before rang again: "Rising Heaven Road, Boundless Heaven Road! In this life, my race, do you have any fear of life or death, no fear of battle? In this life, my race, what fear of life or death, what fear of battle, what fear of battle?


    The heavenly thunder roared, lightning roared, and in that instant, it seemed as if the entire world would be destroyed.


    However, after a moment, it returned to being calm.


    However, the unconscious Lin Tian did not know what was happening outside.


    "Drip, drip." The voice continued.


    Lin Tian''s dantian swirled and the drop of dark red blood suddenly extracted a sliver of extremely small blood aura, which quickly entered Lin Tian''s body.


    The strand of blood qi that entered Lin Tian''s body turned into a small blood-red dragon in an instant. The small dragon emitted a huge amount of blood qi that followed the meridian that was just formed in Lin Tian''s body and began to quickly spread the blood qi to Lin Tian''s body.


    Boom boom boom!


    Not long after, the blood qi turned into a wave of abnormally pure Essence Qi that quickly filled up the small whirlpool in Lin Tian''s dantian.


    After that, the Essence Qi in Lin Tian''s dantian dispersed. Along with the meridian that just formed came to Lin Tian''s body, it nourished his inner organs and healed his injuries.


    The entire process lasted for an unknown amount of time as black filth continuously appeared in his body. Around his body, a light red blood cocoon had formed, completely wrapping him within it.


    When Lin Tian woke up, he felt as if his entire body had been roasted in a fire, incomparably hot and dry.


    Lin Tian forcefully shook his head, wanting to recall the change in his body just now.


    "No, my meridians have been completely crushed. Also, my dantian!" Lin Tian suddenly thought of everything that had just happened.


    Lin Tian immediately began to feel the changes in his body.


    "Eh?" Lin Tian exclaimed: "I actually have meridians!"


    Lin Tian surprisingly discovered that he actually had meridians, but his meridians were very strange, there was only one.


    Ordinary people all had eight extraordinary meridians. In other words, their bodies had eight meridians that connected the entire body. But now, there was only one in his body.


    However, this meridian had penetrated his entire body.


    However, he was still surprised, "I actually broke through to Mortal Realm Stage 5!"


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but be dazed. He had actually broken through.


    To reach Qi Disciple level 5 from Qi Disciple level 4 would require a long period of bitter training. But now, he had only slept for a while and had just broken through.


    No, this must be a dream!


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief as he hurriedly pinched his own arm.


    However, the intense pain clearly told him that this was not a dream, this was real!


    But it was far more than that.


    He couldn''t understand why his meridians would grow and why his dantian would be destroyed by Luo Chen. Not only that, he fell from such a high cliff and didn''t die. All of this was extremely strange, but Lin Tian couldn''t understand it at all.


    What made him even more confused was, how could there still be any more Essence in his body?


    The meridians were channels for the flow of origin energy, and the dantian was also where the origin energy was stored. Luo Chen first crippled his meridians, and then destroyed his dantian.


    Lin Tian''s spiritual will searched his body for a while. Only then did he discover that other than his meridians, his dantian also had a huge change.


    His dantian had already become a small whirlpool, and within that small whirlpool was a drop of bright red blood. That drop of blood was emitting a terrifying pressure, causing Lin Tian''s heart to palpitate.


    All of these changes made Lin Tian somewhat unfathomable. Just what had happened just now?


    Lin Tian ran through everything that had just happened in his mind once again, only to realize that the final suspicious point had all landed on the mysterious metal plate that he had been wearing earlier.


    The series of changes just now happened after the metal plate disappeared!


    At this moment, there was only a dragon-shaped symbol imprinted on his chest. The dragon imprint was very lifelike, with bared fangs and brandished claws.


    "What the hell is this?" Lin Tian was filled with doubts.


    "Don''t think about it, I''ll tell you everything you want to know." A voice suddenly rang out in Lin Tian''s mind.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly stunned, but he instantly became vigilant again: "Who?"

 C3

    Lin Tian looked around, but his surroundings were completely empty. There wasn''t a single person.


    "I''m in your mind. As long as you enter a meditative state, you''ll be able to see me." The voice resounded once again.


    Lin Tian did as he was told. Only now did he discover that there was a dragon soul hovering in his mind.


    "Are you a dragon?" Lin Tian shouted in shock: "How can you appear in my mind?"


    "My name is Horned Demon." The spirit said indifferently, "But I am not a dragon. I am just a fake dragon."


    "False dragon?" Lin Tian stared blankly. Only now did he discover that there were no horns on the Dragon Soul Body called Horned Demon. He immediately understood.


    A True Dragon had two horns. What had no horns was a pseudo-dragon. Although it had the shape of a dragon, it did not have the ability of a dragon.


    "Why did you appear in my mind?" Lin Tian did not let down his guard. How could such a thing suddenly appear in his mind?


    "You have obtained my Dragon clan''s inherited blood essence and awakened me. That is why I am in your mind." The dragon soul explained.


    "Dragon blood essence?" Lin Tian''s pupils contracted as if he couldn''t believe it.


    "Kid, do you know the origin of Sky Dragon Continent?" Hornless asked.


    "Of course, in the ancient times, the Ancestral Dragon broke through the Primal Chaos and became the creator of the world. The heaven and earth gradually separated, and the clear sky became the sky, while the murky earth became the earth. This was the elementary form of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    This was the story their families would tell them after they were born in the Sky Dragon Continent.


    The humans of the Sky Dragon Continent were created from the blood of the Ancestral Dragon, so every human being called themselves the descendants of dragons.


    Although that was the case, the Divine Dragon Race had completely disappeared since the Ancient Era. No one knew where the Divine Dragon Clan had gone to.


    Moreover, in all these years, no one had ever truly seen a Divine Dragon.


    The Divine Dragon only existed in legends.


    This was the first time Lin Tian had seen a real dragon clan, even though they were just the souls of dragons.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "Why are you asking about this?"


    "As expected!" Horned Demon lightly sighed and said, "Brat, I can''t tell you too much now, but you must remember, the legend about the Divine Dragon that you have spread everywhere right now is not true, but it''s useless to tell you so much now. The reason for your change is because of the Dragon Transformation Token."


    "Dragon Transformation Token?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment before suddenly thinking of the metal plate that hung around his neck.


    Seemingly understanding Lin Tian''s thoughts, Horned Dragon nodded his head and said: "That''s right, the Dragon Transformation token is the metal plate on your neck from before."


    "But, I can''t see him now ¡­" Lin Tian had not finished speaking when he suddenly realized that the iron plate was lying inside the whirlpool that was in his Dantian, suppressing the drop of blood.


    "Is that the Dragon Transformation token?" Lin Tian asked.


    "Right." Horned Demon looked at the Dragon Transformation Token and explained, "Your blood awakened the Dragon Transformation Token. The Dragon Transformation Token was activated, and the Ancestral Dragon blood essence was transmitted into your body. Do you see that drop of blood in the whirlpool in your dantian?


    "How can a golden Qilin be an object within a pond? Encountering a wind and rain, transforming into a dragon!" Lin Tian suddenly thought of this sentence that everyone was familiar with.


    Originally, your meridians were destroyed and your dantian was crippled, so naturally, you couldn''t step back into the martial path of cultivation. However, since you have inherited the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon, with your previous meridians, body, and dantian, you won''t be able to withstand the power of the Ancestral Dragon blood. The meridian in your body was opened up by the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon.


    "Dragon race meridians?" Lin Tian immediately understood. There were a total of eight human meridians, and they were known as the eight odd meridians. But right now, there was only one meridian in Lin Tian''s body, running from his dantian all the way to his body.


    "As for your dantian, it has already been crippled. Thus, the dantian vortex in your body right now is our Dragon clan''s dantian." Horned Demon indifferently replied. After these few sentences, he already clearly explained why Lin Tian had changed.


    "What did you say? I''m actually the descendant of an Ancestral Dragon?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief. What kind of existence was this Ancestral Dragon? How could he be the Ancestral Dragon''s descendant?


    "Your body has extremely pure dragon blood, but for some reason, it seems like someone intentionally sealed your blood''s power. This accident caused your blood to awaken the Dragon Transformation Token, which is why there''s such a change ¡­" Horned Demon hesitated for a moment and then said, "As for the Dragon Transformation token, I don''t know why it would appear on you, but it is very likely to be related to your family ¡­"


    When Lin Tian heard this, he couldn''t help but be slightly startled, but he immediately shook his head: "I''m an orphan in the slums. I''m a child picked up by Uncle Yu. I don''t even know who my parents are ¡­"


    "Shh, hush." At this moment, Horned Demon suddenly said, "Someone''s coming ¡­"


    Not far away, he could faintly see two figures walking over.


    "Young prince, this is such an unnecessary action. Such a high cliff, if you fall from it, you would definitely turn into a meat patty. You even want us to come down and take a look ¡­" A person complained in dissatisfaction.


    "That''s right, but this time young prince has rewarded each of us with a Bone Ablutionary Dan bead. Once we consume the Bone Ablutionary Dan bead, we can break through to the Third Stage of Qi Disciple. Thinking like this, it''s worth it to come and collect the corpse." The other person was extremely happy.


    Lin Tian held his breath and laid on the ground. He did not get up and silently waited for the two people to arrive.


    "Eh, this trash actually wasn''t smashed into a meat patty. What a rare sight." As the two spoke, they had already found Lin Tian.


    "Touching him but he still hasn''t breathed..." He was also very strange. Lin Tian had fallen from such a high cliff, yet he was not smashed into a meat patty. It was truly strange.


    The person who spoke didn''t think too much and directly touched Lin Tian''s chest.


    "Warm, no, it''s so hot!" That person immediately cried out in alarm. Just now, when he touched Lin Tian''s chest, he actually felt a burning sensation. Lin Tian''s chest was actually burning.


    "What are you calling me, I''m just a dead person ¡­" Before the word "already" could leave his mouth, he suddenly cried out as if he had seen a ghost: "You''re not dead!"


    "Grandfather isn''t dead, you two don''t need to collect the corpse!" Lin Tian suddenly stood up and adapted to his own body. Then he grinned fiendishly at the two of them.


    Luo Chen had crippled his meridians and dantian, and almost took his life. Now that he saw the two dogs by Luo Chen''s side, how could he not collect some interest?


    The evil slave must die!


    These two evil slaves had helped Luo Chen in a number of bullying his men and women. By getting rid of these two people, it could be said that they were doing good for the people of Sky Dragon City.


    "Pah! I don''t believe this! You fell off such a high cliff, and nothing happened to you?" One of them sneered, "Back then you were a genius, so I didn''t dare to touch you. But the young prince said that he destroyed your dantian and meridians, and even if you''re still alive, you''re still a waste now. I like to be a genius, and he even likes to trample over you, who are far above him!"


    "Let''s attack together and kill him!" The other person immediately rushed over, a fiery red colored Essence bringing with it a fanatical wind from his palm, instantly charging towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian coldly snorted. The strength of these two evil slaves weren''t even at the Third Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage. After going through the refinement process with the dragon blood, he had already reached the Fifth Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian let out a loud shout as a stream of blood-red Essence Qi gathered in his hands. His body moved slightly as he wildly sent a palm strike towards the person in the lead.


    "Such a fast speed!" Lin Tian arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. He didn''t even have time to react.


    Ah!" That person anxiously blocked one palm, but he couldn''t block Lin Tian''s palm attack.


    His body was directly sent flying by Lin Tian and he ruthlessly smashed onto a large tree at the side.


    The tree was broken at the waist by the evil slave''s counterforce. The evil slave''s body fell limply to the ground, blood flowing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It was obvious that he was dead.


    Lin Tian did not stop. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s palm also blasted towards the next person.


    With a bang, the other person was also sent flying by Lin Tian''s palm. Similarly, they all bled from their orifices and died by Lin Tian''s palm.


    One move for one move, without the slightest bit of procrastination.


    Lin Tian looked at the corpses of the two evil slaves and also felt somewhat amazed. This was the first time he had made a move on someone after having had his body refined by dragon blood. He never thought that his speed, reaction speed, and perception were all more than ten times stronger than before.


    Looking at the two corpses, Lin Tian did not feel any guilt at all. Evil slaves deserved to die, and Luo Chen deserved to die. These two evil slaves interest was the beginning of Lin Tian''s revenge on Luo Chen.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate as he rushed back to Sky Dragon City.


    If Luo Chen made a move on him, then it was very possible that he would cut the weeds by their roots and make a move on Uncle Yu. He had no parents and Uncle Yu was his only family. Lin Tian did not wish for this to happen.


    Sky Dragon City was located in the Azure Province and belonged to the Tian Luo Country. There were many counties in the entire Tian Luo Country and the Azure Province was one of them. As for Sky Dragon City, it was just a small city in the Azure Province.


    Passing through the busy streets of the main city, Lin Tian returned home.


    Lin Tian was a child of the commoner district. He had been an orphan since childhood and had been taken in by an old man, also known as Uncle Yu. The two of them relied on each other for survival.


    However, Uncle Yu was very strange. His age clearly allowed him to be Lin Tian''s grandfather, but Uncle Yu never allowed Lin Tian to call him grandfather. He could only call him Uncle Yu.


    "Uncle Yu, I''m back ¡­" Lin Tian had just entered his own room when he saw Uncle Yu sitting by the door, seemingly waiting for Lin Tian to return.


    Seeing that Uncle Yu was fine, Lin Tian Deng heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Where did you go?" Uncle Yu asked.


    "I didn''t go anywhere. I just went to the back of the mountain." Lin Tian didn''t want Uncle Yu to worry about him, so he simply hid the matter of Luo Chen almost killing him.


    "Is it because of that little girl, Jiang Ru Xue?" Uncle Yu sighed, "How many times have I told you this? Jiang Ru Xue''s expression is bad. She''s not your good companion, yet you don''t believe her. I''m afraid you''ve suffered a loss at the hands of that little girl."


    Lin Tian slightly froze. He hadn''t thought that Uncle Yu would be able to see through her so thoroughly. But now, he had completely given up on Jiang Ru Xue. This kind of cheap woman who liked to climb high branches wasn''t worthy of his, Lin Tian''s, liking her!


    "Uncle Yu, don''t worry. It won''t happen again." Lin Tian took a deep breath and firmly said.


    "Where is the token on your neck?" With a glance, Uncle Yu discovered that Lin Tian was different. The token around Lin Tian''s neck had actually disappeared!


    "Could it be, could it be that what Eldest Young Master said is true? Young Master, is the awakening coming this time?" Uncle Yu''s expression suddenly became agitated. He was incomparably shocked in his heart. After all these years, this day had finally arrived!


    He didn''t want Uncle Yu to know that Luo Chen wanted to kill him. On the contrary, he wanted to wait until he had the ability to find Luo Chen to take revenge, then he would tell him everything that had happened today.


    Uncle Yu also saw Lin Tian''s intention and didn''t ask any further. He said: "You''ve also been tired for the entire night. Go rest and don''t delay today''s lesson."


    Lin Tian was cultivating in the Sky Dragon Academy, so he had to go to the school to cultivate every day.


    After he left, he did not realize that the corners of Uncle Yu''s eyes were already moist. Uncle Yu muttered to himself: "Eldest Young Master, Old Master, did you guys see? Little Young Master has already awakened, this old servant has finally completed Eldest Young Master''s request. The Lin Family, the Lin Family is about to be in high spirits ¡­"

    The two evil slaves that Luo Chen sent to retrieve his corpse were slapped to death by Lin Tian''s palm. For the time being, Luo Chen probably wouldn''t know that Lin Tian was still alive, but that couldn''t be hidden as Luo Chen was also cultivating in Sky Dragon Academy. Sooner or later, he would look up and see them again.


    Even if Lin Tian saw Luo Chen again, he would not be afraid. Previously, Lin Tian was at the 4th level of Qi Cultivating Stage and was suppressed by Luo Chen, but now, Lin Tian had broken through to the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage.


    After all, after tempering his body with dragon blood, he had inherited the dragon race''s meridians and the dragon race''s dantian. His cultivation would naturally advance by leaps and bounds.


    After arriving at Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian didn''t go anywhere and directly went to Sky Dragon Academy''s Martial Repository Pavilion.


    In the Pavilion of Hidden Martial Arts was a collection of martial arts he had gathered over the years since the establishment of Tianlong Academy.


    The Sky Dragon Continent''s martial arts were flourishing. Cultivators were the mainstream, and martial arts were naturally indispensable.


    Martial arts were divided into nine levels, from Level 1 to Level 9. Level 1 was the lowest and Level 9 was the highest.


    According to the legends, only Star River experts were able to practice Level 9 Martial Arts. Even Sky Dragon Academy''s Principal Xiao Yunhai was only at the Aurous Core Stage. He had never cultivated a Level 9 Martial Art before.


    Therefore, the highest cultivation method in the entire Martial Repository Pavilion was below Grade Four.


    Lin Tian was a genius disciple of Sky Dragon Academy. The school teacher guarding the Hidden Martial Pavilion naturally knew Lin Tian and had no obstructions. Lin Tian directly entered the Hidden Martial Pavilion.


    The Martial Repository Pavilion had three floors. The first floor was lined up with Level 1 Martial Arts, the second floor had Level 2 Martial Arts, and the third floor only had a few Level 3 Martial Arts.


    It was said that Xiao Yunhai possessed a martial art of a grade four or above. However, Xiao Yunhai had never admitted it before, so naturally, students like them didn''t need to think too much about it.


    Lin Tian''s current strength was not enough to enter the third floor. He could only search for martial arts on the first floor or second floor.


    Once he opened his Qi Sea and reached the Qi Sea realm, he would then be able to enter the third level and start training in Level 3 Martial Arts.


    However, the Martial Repository Pavilion had no time, so Lin Tian was not in a hurry. He began to slowly search the Martial Repository Pavilion.


    Lin Tian naturally ignored the first layer. A Level 1 Martial Arts was too weak. What he needed now was a powerful Martial Arts.


    Fighting with Luo Chen had let Lin Tian understand, strength was important, and martial arts were also similar. Luo Chen''s family''s martial arts were naturally all high level martial arts, but Lin Tian had only practiced one layer of martial arts from the Martial Repository Pavilion. Thus, when fighting with Luo Chen, he couldn''t even take a single move.


    Time slowly passed. Lin Tian repeatedly searched the second floor of the Martial Repository Pavilion, but in the end, he still sighed.


    The Level 2 Martial Arts on the second floor were all too common. If he wanted to fight Luo Chen, he needed to find a good martial art.


    Luo Chen''s family was extremely powerful. The martial arts he trained in was also a inherited martial art of the Luo Family. It was something that these trash martial arts could not even compare to.


    Lin Tian searched for a long time, but he still couldn''t find any martial arts that caught his eye.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to give up and pass by an extremely old bookshelf, Lin Tian''s heart suddenly twitched. That feeling was as if there was something attracting him.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, he touched the bookshelf. The bookshelf was covered in dust, it was obvious that no one had searched for martial arts on this shelf in a long time.


    Lin Tian looked through the martial arts on the bookshelf and was surprised to discover that the books on the bookshelf were not martial arts, but ancient books.


    Lin Tian Deng sighed, could it be that his feelings were wrong?


    He walked forward a few steps and something strange happened. Lin Tian felt a sudden feeling of loss in his heart. That feeling was as if Lin Tian had missed out on something extremely precious.


    Lin Tian once again returned to the row of bookshelves. As expected, his heart once again violently twitched.


    "Weird, definitely weird." Lin Tian immediately realized that something wasn''t right. After his body had been tempered with dragon blood, his perception had greatly improved. And the key thing was that there was definitely something inside that was attracting him.


    This time, Lin Tian no longer cared about anything else and wholeheartedly began to search for the martial art that could make him feel his heart throb.


    Lin Tian touched it in a row. When he touched an extremely worn out book, Lin Tian''s heart immediately sped up.


    "This is it." Lin Tian was overjoyed. He opened the book and saw that it was a medical book that talked about the human body''s eight extraordinary meridians.


    Lin Tian was a bit disappointed. He hadn''t thought that the thing that would attract his attention would be only a medical book?


    But at this time, a voice suddenly rang out in Lin Tian''s mind: "Boy, this book contains a layer."


    Lin Tian was startled, but immediately realized that there was a dragon soul residing in his sea of consciousness.


    Although Horned Dragons were fake dragons, they were still dragons after all. It was natural for them to see the oddity of this ancient book.


    "Sandwich?" Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and began to carefully look through it. After a moment, Lin Tian really did find something abnormal on the page in the middle of the book.


    It was a page completely different from the other sheets of paper. Lin Tian exerted a little strength and the piece of paper unexpectedly fell off automatically.


    But after taking off that page, Lin Tian discovered that the paper was actually a blank piece of paper.


    "Why is it a blank page?" Lin Tian carefully rubbed the blank page, wanting to feel if the blank page was hiding some sort of secret.


    But no matter how he stroked it, Lin Tian felt that this piece of paper was an extremely ordinary piece of white paper and there was nothing special about it.


    But Horned Demon said indifferently, "There are restrictions on this piece of paper, that''s why you can''t find the words on this piece of paper. Boy, lend me a bit of strength, I''ll break the restrictions on this piece of paper."


    Lin Tian was slightly stunned, as if he didn''t understand what Horned Demon meant.


    Horned Demon explained, "My body has already been destroyed and only this dragon soul is left. However, it is very weak and needs a bit of your Spirit power."


    "Mental Energy?"


    "Yes."


    "Then, come." Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. Since this piece of paper had a restriction on it, then it was definitely not an ordinary item. If he could obtain an extraordinary martial art from this piece of paper, then it would be worth it.


    The Horned Dragon Soul directly rushed out of Lin Tian''s body and lightly tapped on Lin Tian''s brain. Lin Tian Deng felt as if his mind had been sucked empty. In that moment of absent-mindedness, Lin Tian''s body suddenly went limp and he almost fell to the ground.


    But also at this time, Lin Tian''s dantian whirlpool seemed to feel Lin Tian''s weakness and suddenly a surge of power surged out. It supported Lin Tian''s body and prevented him from collapsing.


    With the support of Lin Tian''s Spirit power, the Dragon Soul also gradually became more solid. The Dragon Soul opened its mouth and spit out a dragon flame, rushing towards the white paper.


    A strange thing happened. The moment the dragon flame came into contact with the white paper, a blue light was emitted from it. The moment the two forces clashed, the blue light exploded into a bright light, but then slowly dissipated.


    At the same time, the white paper also became a stream of light and directly rushed into Lin Tian''s mind.


    The Horned Dragon that spit out a mouthful of dragon flame looked a bit dispirited at the moment. Without saying anything more, it returned back into Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s mind shook. An extremely difficult to understand chant immediately came from his mind.


    Lin Tian was slightly stunned, but soon after, his expression changed to one of ecstasy.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" Lin Tian involuntarily read out the name of the chant.


    This was a martial art, and a martial art with a strong offensive power!


    As for the grade, Lin Tian did not know, but the grade of this martial art was definitely not low, because it was impossible for a low grade martial art to have restrictions or hide so much.


    "Also, I want to study the powers of the heaven and earth, to reach the limits of the human body, and to become a Fist of Creation ¡­"


    One chant after another was sent out from Lin Tian''s mind. Lin Tian''s mind was greatly shaken. He did not dare to hesitate as he began to comprehend this martial art.


    This martial art was called the Great Creation Fist, and it had a total of three forms. One was the first, breaking the heavens with one punch, extinguishing the sun and moon with two punches, and shattering the stars with three punches.


    Each punch was filled with a power that seemed to be able to destroy heaven and earth.


    However, there were also requirements for the practitioner of the Great Manifestation Fist. This was a requirement for the practitioner''s physical strength.


    With such a powerful attack power, if one''s body wasn''t strong enough, then it would be impossible for one to train in it. If one was forced to train in it, it was even possible that one would be injured by this Great Manifestation Fist.


    Seeing this request, Lin Tian was overjoyed. This kind of fist technique was completely tailored for him. His body''s strength, after going through the transformation from the dragon blood, could simply be described as reborn, far surpassing people of the same level.


    This was Lin Tian''s greatest strength.


    Just as Lin Tian received the Great Fortune Fist and was extremely happy in his heart, outside of the Martial Repository Pavilion, a person had just entered and then suddenly left in a hurry.


    "I''m afraid Young Master Luo still doesn''t know how this little bastard, Lin Tian, is still alive. Strange, didn''t Young Master Luo say that yesterday''s little bastard was already turned into a meat patty? "He even sent someone to collect the corpse of this little bastard, how is it that this brat is still alive and well?" That person muttered nonstop as he quickly rushed towards the Yongan Mansion that Luo Chen was at.


    That person''s name was Zhao Ba, just like his name suggested. He was one of the tyrants of Tianlong Academy, and the Zhao Clan that he belonged to was the number two clan in the entire Tianlong City, the Zhao Clan.


    The Zhao Clan monopolized Tianlong City''s herb business, making it an illustrious clan.


    He usually hung out with the young prince, Luo Chen, and was one of the three infamous young masters of Tianlong Academy.


    The other young master was from Sky Dragon City''s number one family, the Li family''s eldest young master, Li Tianhai.


    Yesterday, he and Li Tianhai had heard about Luo Chen crippling Lin Tian and sending Lin Tian off the cliff with a kick. But today, coming to the Hidden Martial Pavilion, they had coincidentally met that little bastard Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was born lowly, but his talent was extremely high. Not only that, he was also favored by the Academy''s Principal, Xiao Yunhai.


    The three young masters had wanted to do something to Lin Tian for a long time, but they had never found a suitable opportunity. However, after hearing yesterday that Lin Tian had been crippled by Luo Chen, Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba were extremely excited and directly dragged the young prince to Yi Cui Lou to celebrate.


    However, seeing this little bastard Lin Tian early in the morning, Zhao Ba naturally wanted to ask Luo Chen if he knew about this matter.


    Tian Luo Country''s surname was the royal family name. In the thousands of cities in Tian Luo Country, there was a prince surnamed Luo that ruled over the entire city.


    Sky Dragon City was a prince of a small city in the border area. Its title was "Yongan", so it was called King Yongan.


    Unfortunately, when Zhao Ba arrived at the Yongan Mansion, he suffered a blow to the door. The young prince Luo Chen had already closed his door, preparing for the upcoming battle for the Source Spirit Pool.


    It was definitely not good news that Lin Tian had not died, but now that the young prince had gone into seclusion, as the other two young masters of the three great young masters, they had the responsibility of helping the young prince clean up his tail.


    Before, the two of them were a little afraid of Lin Tian''s strength, but now, Lin Tian''s Dantian had been crippled, so there was nothing to worry about. They could just directly kill him, and as long as they didn''t kill him, Xiao Yunhai wouldn''t cause trouble for them.

 C5

    However, when Zhao Ba and Li Tianhai left for the Martial Repository Pavilion, Lin Tian had already left.


    At this time, Lin Tian had already left. He turned around and headed towards the Green Cliff Mountain.


    Lin Tian had already comprehended the moves and chants of the Great Fortune Fist in his heart, but martial arts could only be thoroughly practiced in actual combat.


    Lin Tian rushed towards the Green Cliff Mountain because he wanted to borrow the beasts from the Green Cliff Mountain to practice the Great Change Fist. In the outer regions of the Green Cliff Mountain, the beasts were all of lower grades, and they were all level one beasts. Before, when Lin Tian was still at level four Qi Cultivating Stage, it was very easy for him to take down all the level one beasts.


    As Lin Tian walked forward, the corpses of the demon beasts piled up like a mountain.


    In order to attract more demon beasts, Lin Tian directly opened up a demon beast''s stomach. The intense smell of blood instantly attracted dozens of demon beasts.


    Currently, Lin Tian was surrounded by dozens of demonic beasts, several feet long pythons, a man tall demonic tiger, and a pack of fierce wolves. They were all eyeing Lin Tian covetously, with murderous glares in their eyes, as if they would pounce on him at any moment and devour him at any moment.


    Lin Tian stood where he was without moving as he carefully comprehended the Great Fortune Fist.


    A punch to shatter the world. This kind of power required all the Yuan Power in one''s body to be poured into one''s own fist. Only by using force and fist would one be able to completely display the power of the Great Manifestation Fist.


    Moreover, when the Great Creation Fist was displayed to the extreme, it would produce a fist force, which was also the force behind the fist.


    Generally speaking, to be able to practice the third stage of the fist strength was already considered to be at the small success stage, but to practice it to the consummate stage, one had to be able to unleash the nine stage fist power, which was much stronger than the first stage.


    Lin Tian had already mastered the first stage of the Great Destiny Fist''s boxing style. Right now, the reason he had so many demon beasts gather was to comprehend the power of the fist energy.


    The Essence in Lin Tian''s entire body was currently concentrated in his hands. He suddenly roared out and directly threw a punch towards the leader of the demonic tigers.


    "Bam!" The Spirit Demon Tiger was directly sent flying by Lin Tian''s fist. Its body suddenly exploded and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The power of that one punch was extremely terrifying for Jiang Ran.


    Not only that, but after Lin Tian threw that punch, within that fist, he unexpectedly split out a bit of strength and directly smashed towards the demon wolf next to the demon tiger. However, that power was a lot weaker than the previous one, and it only forced the demon wolf back.


    But Lin Tian was overjoyed in his heart: "So this is fist strength?"


    Just now, he had knocked out the Spirit Demon Tiger with one fist. The power that separated was the power of the fist. However, the power of Lin Tian''s fist was not very strong. On the contrary, it was much weaker than his other fist.


    However, the true most powerful strength of the Great Creation Fist was the power of the fist force. Thus, Lin Tian currently practiced the Great Creation Fist and it could at most be considered as just the beginning.


    Lin Tian stood on the spot and carefully felt the moment he punched out. That kind of power, that method of punching out, was once again recalled in his mind.


    After a long while, Lin Tian seemed to have grasped something and once again threw out a punch.


    "Great Destiny Fist, a fist to shatter the world!" Lin Tian fiercely charged towards the other demon beast.


    The instant the fist was thrown, Lin Tian suddenly felt a warm current surge nonstop within his body. A monstrous strength instantly exploded out.


    "Bang bang!" The power of this punch once again blasted that Demonic Beast into smithereens. However, from this punch, another force was separated ¡ª this was the power of this punch.


    That fist force was attached to that fist and in the next moment, it rumbled towards the Demonic Beast that was not far away.


    "Bam!" There was another explosion. The demon beast on the side was unexpectedly blown up by Lin Tian''s fist power.


    "What a terrifying power!" Lin Tian finally felt the terrifying aspect of the Great Destiny Fist.


    The power of this punch wasn''t any weaker than the original. The key was that the power of this punch could be controlled and taken by surprise. In a battle, when the opponent wasn''t prepared, it was very easy to be hit by this punch.


    Lin Tian received the trick and was naturally immersed in cultivation, not paying any attention to the passage of time.


    However, this time, it was Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba, who had been waiting for Lin Tian the entire time.


    When the two of them went to the Hidden Martial Pavilion, they didn''t have time. They decided to wait in front of Lin Tian''s dormitory.


    Sky Dragon Academy had a place to stay, which was the student dormitory. Normally, if Lin Tian cultivated late, he wouldn''t go home, but he would stay in the dorm to rest.


    Unfortunately, today, Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba had waited for an entire day. The sky was almost dusk, yet Lin Tian still hadn''t returned.


    "Where did this little bastard go?" Zhao Ba had a sinister look on his face. "I just went out to get someone and disappeared without a trace."


    Didn''t the young prince say that this brat personally crippled his Dantian, destroyed his meridians, and even fell down from the peak of the cliff? Didn''t he fall off the cliff and become a meat patty? Originally, he thought that Lin Tian really hadn''t died, so he came over to insult this genius who had once stepped on their heads, to find joy in them. But now, after waiting for an entire day, there wasn''t even a shadow of him to be seen.


    "I really saw it. That little bastard was still searching for martial arts in the Martial Repository Pavilion during the day." Zhao Ba explained.


    However, just as they were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps.


    "Little bastard is back..." Zhao Ba was overjoyed. He gave Li Tianhai a look.


    Li Tianhai lightly smiled and stood in the middle of the road, blocking Lin Tian''s path.


    However, the next moment, a "bang" was heard. Zhao Ba only saw a blur before his eyes and Li Tianhai''s body flew backward with a "sou" sound.


    Before Zhao Ba could react, Lin Tian''s voice had already sounded out: "Sorry, it''s too dark. I didn''t see anyone ¡­"


    After Lin Tian had comprehended the power of the fist for an entire day, he was finally able to unleash the power of three fists before dusk. However, when Lin Tian came back to his senses, he discovered that the sky had already darkened, so he hurriedly rushed back to the academy. Along the way, Lin Tian was immersed in his comprehension during the day and did not notice that there was someone in front of him.


    His body had been transformed by the dragon blood, and he was already far beyond ordinary people. Plus, he was advancing at full speed, so it was normal for him to knock the person in front of him flying.


    However, after sending others flying, Lin Tian still felt embarrassed and repeatedly apologized.


    But when he clearly saw who was standing in front of him, Lin Tian''s eyes instantly narrowed and his face also began to turn cold: "It''s the two of them. Then there''s no need to apologize."


    Zhao Ba was also stunned. It took him a while to react, so he quickly went to the front and pulled Li Tianhai up.


    At this time, Li Tianhai had already been knocked out of breath by Lin Tian, and several ribs on his chest had been broken. Not only that, at this time, he could clearly feel that his internal organs had changed shapes, and he suffered a very serious internal injury ¡­ ¡­


    "Little bastard, you f * cking have no eyes. Can''t you see that there''s someone here?" Zhao Ba pointed at Lin Tian''s nose and cursed.


    "Indeed, I didn''t see anyone, I only saw animals. However, since it''s an animal, I might as well run into it. Since it''s alright, get lost now. I don''t want to start a massacre!" Lin Tian naturally knew the identities of these two people. The second one was the infamous three great young masters of Sky Dragon Academy, and he was the same as Luo Chen. Lin Tian naturally didn''t have a pleasant expression on his face.


    Oh, you little bastard! How dare you be so arrogant after having your dantian crippled! Do you really think you''re a genius?! Let me tell you, I''ll make you regret coming out today!" Previously, when Lin Tian was a genius, he did not dare speak to them in such a manner. Now that he fell at the Green Cliff Mountain, did his brain get damaged? He actually dared to speak to them in such a manner!


    "Fine, I''ll let you go today. If you regret it, come out today!" Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly attacked.


    The moment he made his move, he had only just comprehended the Great Fortune Fist today.


    "One punch, Shattering the Heavens and the Earth!" Lin Tian''s long hair fluttered in the wind as monstrous Essence was instantly poured onto his fist. The might of his fist didn''t hold back at all as it directly flew towards Zhao Ba.


    Zhao Ba''s lips trembled in anger, but he did not have enough time to say anything because Lin Tian''s fist had already arrived. He disdainfully smiled, although his strength was not as strong as the young prince''s, he was still from a large family, and his current strength just happened to break through to the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage not long ago. This little bastard''s strength was only at the 4th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, how could he fight with him?


    "Shattering Yuan Finger!" When Zhao Ba made his move, his strength was also incomparably strong. Essence wrapped around his fingertip as he pointed towards Lin Tian.


    "Bam!" The moment the two fingers met, Zhao Ba laughed out loud. This punch seemed powerful, but it was actually just a bluff. The power of a single punch was nothing more than that!


    "Little bastard, your punch isn''t too big..." In the end, Zhao Ba did not say the word "similar".


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s Good Fortune Fist was already crazily smashing towards Zhao Ba.


    "Bang bang bang!" With three consecutive explosions, Zhao Ba''s figure flew out and heavily crashed into the dorms of the students behind him.


    Half of the wall of the dorm was smashed by Zhao Ba''s body.


    "Rumble." The loud noise woke up all the students who were resting in their dorms. Not long later, a group of students walked out of their dorms. However, just as they walked out of their dorms'' door, they discovered that a wall in the room beside theirs had been smashed into smithereens.


    After understanding the situation, everyone was stunned. They never would have thought that the normally unassuming Lin Tian would actually destroy Zhao Ba with a single punch.


    One had to know that Zhao Ba''s family was ranked second in Heavenly Dragon City.


    How could Lin Tian dare to directly destroy Zhao Ba?


    No one knew what Luo Chen did to Lin Tian yesterday. They were only thinking, as an existence in the commoner district, how could Lin Tian dare to make a move against Zhao Ba?


    However, when the crowd saw another person struggling to get up, their hearts trembled once again.


    Li Tianhai, one of the third young master''s, Li Tianhai was also here. Moreover, looking at Li Tianhai''s appearance, he was also blasted away by Lin Tian''s fist?


    Lin Tian walked in front of Li Tianhai and stomped Li Tianhai down: "Tell Luo Chen and that slut to live well. When the competition for the Source Spirit Pool begins, I will make them regret coming out alive!"


    Li Tianhai struggled to climb up from under Lin Tian''s feet, but he was sent flying by Lin Tian''s kick. Li Tianhai unexpectedly didn''t have any strength to resist with one kick, and his body was sent flying. He actually smashed the other wall of the dorm to pieces.


    Saying that, Lin Tian floated away, completely ignoring the discussions of the crowd.

 C6

    "Is this still the Lin Tian from before?" Someone asked with a surprised expression.


    "Yeah, Lin Tian ate the wrong medicine and dares to touch these two grandfathers?" Some people were equally puzzled.


    There was no need to talk about the families of these two princes, but the key point was that the one standing behind them was Luo Chen! What kind of existence was Luo Chen, he was the young master of the Yongan Mansion, the entire Sky Dragon City was owned by him, did Lin Tian not want to stay in Sky Dragon City anymore?


    All the students were discussing among themselves. However, this matter had nothing to do with them. After everyone had finished watching the show, they all dispersed.


    Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba groaned on the ground for a long time, but were still unable to get up. When the students saw them, no one helped them. These two were used to bullying others.


    Most importantly, the dorms where their bodies had been smashed into pieces were coincidentally the dormitories of the three young masters.


    After everyone had left, in a remote corner next to the girl''s dormitory stood a beautiful white figure.


    That beautiful figure had been standing there from the very beginning. Thus, she saw everything.


    That person was none other than Jiang Ru Xue. It was just that Jiang Ru Xue never showed herself.


    At this moment, Jiang Ru Xue coldly glanced at Zhao Ba and Li Tianhai who were still moaning on the ground. She cursed in her heart, "Trash!"


    He seemed to have thought of something, and in his heart, Jiang Ru Xue suddenly became ruthless. She looked at Lin Tian''s back and said with a ferocious expression: "Lin Tian, if you had died, how great that would have been. But you did not die, then don''t blame me for being ruthless ¡­"


    Jiang Ru Xue gently fished out a jade bottle from her bosom. She hesitated for a moment, but then she made up her mind. She quietly left the Sky Dragon Academy in the dark of the night.


    Lin Tian naturally did not know what other people were doing, but he did not think too much about it. He had practiced the Great Destiny Fist for an entire day, and with the addition of the move just now, the Essence in his body had already been completely used up.


    He was very tired now, so he went back to his bed and fell asleep immediately.


    Only, what Lin Tian did not realize was that as he breathed in and out, the Dan Tian whirlpool in his body began to madly revolve. Waves of warmth surged out from Lin Tian''s Dan Tian and quickly spread to his limbs and bones.


    The warm flow of air continuously nourished Lin Tian''s organs and bones. The surrounding spiritual energy was swallowed into his stomach by Lin Tian like a whale, and when Lin Tian exhaled, the turbid air was also exhaled by him.


    Lin Tian slept extremely soundly, but he did not know what had happened to his body.


    At this moment, in an extremely deep corner of the Green Cliff Mountain, Jiang Ru Xue''s figure suddenly appeared.


    After a while of searching, Jiang Ru Xue finally discovered the legendary corner. It was a gloomy and eerie cave.


    "Who?" An explosive shout suddenly came from the corner. That voice was hoarse and eerie, extremely terrifying.


    "I''m here to do a business with you." Jiang Ru Xue was also shocked. She calmed down and then said to the cave.


    "Yo, she''s actually a beauty. What kind of business do you want? Come in and talk about it." A beam of flame abruptly lit up within the cave, lighting up the entire cave.


    Jiang Ru Xue hesitated for a moment before she stepped into the cave.


    Besides a stone bed and a stone table, there was nothing else. Beside the stone table, there was a man in black sitting there, wearing a mask. His messy long hair covered his eyebrows completely, and only a pair of cold eyes could be seen.


    At this moment, he was staring at Jiang Ru Xue. He was sizing her up from head to toe, and there was a trace of lust in his gaze.


    "What a beautiful person. Speak, who do you want me to kill?" That person''s voice didn''t carry any emotion, it was just as hoarse as usual, "The thing I want, I''m sure you know ¡­"


    "I know, no one knows the name of Old Devil Yin. I have also brought the thing." Jiang Ru Xue said to the man before throwing the jade bottle back to him. "This is a high-grade Pure Spirit Pill. There are three of them. Is the price enough?"


    The man took the jade bottle and greedily took a sniff of the Spirit Cleansing Pill''s medicinal fragrance before chuckling, "Haha, good stuff, good stuff. I didn''t think that you would actually be willing to use such a pill to trade with me. Say it, who do you want me to kill?"


    The image of Lin Tian flashed across Jiang Ru Xue''s mind. She didn''t have the slightest hesitation as she coldly said two words: "Lin Tian!"


    "Lin Tian?" That person was slightly startled, but immediately threw the jade bottle back. "Take the item away. There is no need to continue discussing about this business. I, the Ancestor, will not send guests away. Please ¡­"


    "The price isn''t enough?" Jiang Ru Xue was stunned for a moment before she said anxiously, "I can raise the price ¡­"


    "Raise the price?" That person laughed coldly, "If it weren''t for your beauty, I would have killed you in an instant!"


    "Why?" Jiang Ru Xue was even more puzzled.


    "Why? Lin Tian is easy to kill. Is Xiao Yunhai easy to fool?" That person''s voice was incomparably hoarse: "Lin Tian is Xiao Yunhai''s favorite disciple, this matter, everyone in Sky Dragon City knows about it, if you let me kill Lin Tian, would Xiao Yunhai let me go? A high grade Pure Spirit Pill is a good thing, you must at least let me, your ancestor, enjoy it with my life! "


    Jiang Ru Xue was momentarily stunned before coming to a realization. "So this is what you''re worried about?"


    "You don''t have to worry about this matter. I can guarantee that after you kill Lin Tian, Xiao Yunhai won''t find trouble with you. Moreover, once this matter is completed, there will even be a reward for it." Jiang Ru Xue immediately understood what that person was thinking and said directly to him.


    "Oh, I''d like to hear more about it!" The man''s interest was immediately piqued.


    "Lin Tian, he is the son of King Yongan, the enemy of the young prince Luo Chen. This time, I''ve come in place of the young prince Luo Chen!" When Jiang Ru Xue understood what that person was afraid of, she explained with a smile.


    "Is that true?" The man''s interest was immediately piqued.


    "I''m Luo Chen''s fiancee, the future wangfei of King Yongan''s Estate. Do you take my words for real?" Jiang Ru Xue suddenly started laughing, but her eyes were filled with malice: "Lin Tian, don''t blame me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for not being the young prince. You will never be able to give it to me! "


    "I''ll do it, beauty. If I don''t need any reward after this, you can speak a few more words of praise in front of the young prince and the ancestor will be extremely grateful ¡­" That person extended his hand to receive the jade bottle that Jiang Ru Xue tossed over. He then said: "Three days. At most three days. You''re here to take Lin Tian''s head."


    Jiang Ru Xue nodded and left without another word.


    The person looked at Jiang Ru Xue''s back as she left while stroking the jade bottle in his hand. The fragrance of Jiang Ru Xue wafted from the bottle, "What a beautiful woman. It''s a pity that I can only look, but I can''t touch her.


    Coming out of the Green Cliff Mountain, Jiang Ru Xue heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Lin Tian actually didn''t die, and the impact on her was too great, and for some reason, Lin Tian suddenly became stronger overnight. Li Tian Hai and Zhao Ba were actually not his opponents.


    Jiang Ru Xue didn''t know what had happened to Lin Tian and she didn''t want to know either, but she knew Lin Tian''s character. Last time, she and Luo Chen had almost forced Lin Tian into a desperate situation and this hatred had been completely formed.


    Since that was the case, he might as well attack first. That man was called Old Devil Yin, a killer, and his reward was very simple, which was pills. Good pills, as long as you can afford it, he can help you kill the person you want to kill.


    In all these years, he had never failed in his search for the people the Old Devil Yin had killed.


    So, in order to kill Lin Tian, even if he had to compensate her with the three high grade Spirit Cleansing Pills Luo Chen had given her, it would definitely be worth it.


    Lin Tian did not notice the arrival of danger at all.


    On the morning of the second day, Lin Tian had just woken up and felt his body filled with an inexhaustible power.


    Moreover, his body was always filled with a warm current. With the help of that warm current, the Essence that Lin Tian had consumed yesterday had completely recovered.


    Not only that, Lin Tian felt that the Essence in his body was unceasingly increasing. He even faintly felt that he was about to break through.


    Lin Tian sensed for a moment and discovered that all of this was caused by the whirlpool dantian in his body. With that whirlpool dantian, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy in the outside world was almost several times faster than before.


    Lin Tian immediately rejoiced in his heart. This way, his cultivation speed would also be several times faster than before. This way, it wouldn''t be long before he could break through to Qi Disciple level 6.


    Lin Dong did not continue to ponder about this matter and turned around instead to head towards the Green Cliff Mountain. He had just comprehended the third layer of fist power from the Great Manifestation Fist, but just by comprehending the third layer of fist power from the Great Manifestation Fist, he had blown apart Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba with a single punch. One must know, they were both at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivating Stage, and when the Great Manifestation Fist was at its strongest, he could unleash the nine layer of fist power.


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t want to waste any more time and hastily rushed towards the Green Cliff Mountain.


    At the same time, Old Devil Yin also departed from the Green Cliff Mountain and headed for the Sky Dragon Academy.


    He was dressed in black clothes and a black mask, suppressing his own Qi, hiding it from a lot of people, but when he arrived at Sky Dragon Academy, he pounced on nothing, unable to find Lin Tian.


    He asked about the people that lived with Lin Tian and only knew that Lin Tian had left early in the morning. As for where he had gone to, no one knew.


    The Old Demon Yin''s face was gloomy and cold. He thought that he could directly kill Lin Tian this time, but now it seemed that he would need to spend some effort.


    Old Demon Yin did not dare to linger, as he was afraid that Xiao Yunhai would sense his aura. He turned around and hurriedly returned to the Green Cliff Mountain.


    However, on the way back to the cave, he suddenly saw a youth waving his fist and crazily attacking the surrounding demonic beasts.


    His punches and those of the demonic beasts had astonishing offensive power.


    But when he clearly saw the young man''s face, Old Devil Yin laughed out loud, "Truly, ''Treading on the broken iron shoes everywhere, obtaining it all without any effort. Boy, it was really hard for me to find you, I didn''t expect you to be under the Old Ancestor''s nose."


    If he had known earlier, he wouldn''t have gone to Sky Dragon Academy to look for Lin Tian and waited at the Green Cliff Mountain.


    "Kid, die!" Lin Tian was in the midst of comprehending the fist force, but from behind, he suddenly heard an explosive shout.

 C7

    Lin Tian''s face turned cold. The voice that came from behind him was extremely unfamiliar, but it came from behind him without anyone noticing. It was definitely an expert, but Lin Tian was a bit suspicious. He didn''t know when he had offended such an expert.


    Turning around, he saw a black clothed man standing not too far away. His face could not even be seen clearly.


    Lin Tian punched the last demon beast to death and then looked at the black-clothed person: "Who are you?"


    "Someone to send you to heaven!" Old Devil Yin didn''t want to say anything more. He directly struck out with his palm. He cultivated the demonic path and his aura was extremely evil. As a result, the origin energy that erupted out was also billowing black smoke, a terrifying scene to behold.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to be careless. From the strength of this palm, he could roughly determine that this person''s strength was at least at the 8th level of Qi Cultivating Stage or above.


    Lin Tian was only at Qi Disciple level 5, so it was naturally not enough to fight him head on.


    But with Old Devil Yin''s aggressive palm attack, even if Lin Tian wanted to dodge, it would be impossible. Lin Tian had nowhere to dodge, so he could only use the Great Destiny Fist that he had just comprehended to hastily meet the attack.


    "Great Destiny Fist, one fist ¡ª Breaking the Heavens and Earth!" Lin Tian wildly roared in anger as the Essence in his body rapidly surged. The fiery red Essence formed into a huge fist that directly smashed towards the Old Devil Yin''s palm.


    "You really are capable. Who gave you the courage? A mere Qi Disciple level 5 dares to attack me like this?" His palm wind became even stronger, as if he wanted to slap Lin Tian to death with one palm.


    Lin Tian did not move at all. The power of the Great Fortune Fist exploded out in an instant.


    "Bang!" The two forces collided and Lin Tian''s body was directly blown away by the recoil. Old Devil Yin stood on the spot without taking a single step back.


    "Hahaha." Old Devil laughed crazily, "Brat, you are just a mere level 5 Qi Cultivating Stage brat, but you are actually able to receive my palm strike. Even if I die, there shouldn''t be any more regrets, but don''t worry, the ancestor will send you to the Western Sky right now ¡­"


    After the dragon blood had changed his body, Lin Tian discovered that the strength of his own body was much stronger than before, so although that palm just now was strong, Lin Tian''s fist also blocked quite a bit of the power. With the remaining bit of power, Lin Tian''s body could completely withstand it.


    But Lin Tian''s Great Destiny Fist''s fist strength stayed within the Old Yin Demon''s body.


    In the past two days of training, Lin Tian could basically see through the fist power of the Great Fortune Fist. Actually, the fist power of the Great Fortune Fist could actually stay on the body of the opponent. As long as Lin Tian wanted to detonate it, he could detonate it at any time.


    However, Lin Tian did not choose to directly detonate it. Instead, he left it on the Old Devil Yin''s body.


    He had just discovered that his body was strong enough to withstand the full force of that Old Devil Yin''s attack.


    So Lin Tian thought of a way to defeat Old Devil Yin, which was to use the fist power of the Great Destiny Fist. A single large Manifestation Fist was useless against Old Devil Yin, then what about the two stages?


    As long as the fist power was accumulated to a certain degree, and then detonated in a flash, the Old Devil Yin would definitely not be able to withstand the explosive power of the fist power.


    The Old Demon Yin saw that he did not actually kill Lin Tian with one palm and was a bit surprised. However, he still coldly said: "Boy, not bad. To actually be able to withstand this ancestor''s attack and not die. Then take another palm from me."


    Lin Tian already knew the identity of the Old Devil Yin. In the entire Sky Dragon City, other than this infamous killer, who would call themselves Ancestor?


    Only, Lin Tian couldn''t think of who bribed this Old Devil Yin to let him kill him.


    But no matter who it was, if they wanted him, Lin Tian, to die, they would have to pay the price. Of course, this price began with the Old Devil Yin.


    The Old Devil Yin threw out another palm attack. This palm strike was much stronger than the previous one. Black Essence surged as it instantly turned into a huge black palm, smashing straight towards Lin Tian''s head.


    Lin Tian did not move. The Essence in his body surged and he suddenly shouted: "Great Destiny Fist, go to me!"


    The palm and fist collided with another bang. This time, Lin Tian''s body didn''t directly fly out. Instead, he continuously retreated a dozen steps before stabilizing his own body.


    But Lin Tian''s heart was not the slightest bit disappointed. On the contrary, Lin Tian''s heart was currently filled with joy.


    He discovered that the Old Demon Yin''s palms were getting stronger and stronger, but his body was also able to endure more and more power. The force from the palm just now was clearly much stronger than Old Demon Yin''s first palm, but Lin Tian had only taken a dozen steps back.


    Of course, the force from his Great Destiny Fist had also completely landed on the body of that Old Devil Yin. It was just that the Old Devil Yin hadn''t discovered it yet.


    This time, Lin Tian didn''t wait for Old Devil Yin to make the first move. The Essence in Lin Tian''s body crazily churned as a monstrous energy once again gathered onto his fists. He punched out with all his might towards the Old Devil Yin.


    Old Devil Yin also did not expect that he would be able to receive two consecutive palm strikes. Not only was this brat completely fine, he could even fight back now.


    He was so angry that he started laughing, "Alright, alright, alright, I didn''t expect the ancestor to underestimate you, but I want to see how big of a wave you, a mere Qi Disciple level 5, can create."


    "Die for me!" The Old Demon Yin was obviously very angry. At this time, he used all his strength and struck out with his palm once again, "Eroding Demon Hand!"


    At this time, the Old Demon Yin''s body started to rise higher, the qi and blood on his body also started to flow backwards, on his huge palm, the blood and gas were rolling, the black smoke was rolling, it was obvious that he was going to kill.


    Lin Tian''s eyes slightly focused, but he did not dodge and directly faced the Old Devil Yin''s palm.


    "Bang, bang, bang." An explosion sounded and the Old Devil''s palm directly landed on Lin Tian''s body. However, when that palm struck Lin Tian''s body, it made a sound like metal colliding.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s fist also landed on the Old Devil Yin''s body.


    The Old Demon Yin only felt as if his palm had smashed onto an iron plate and the rebounding force caused his palm to faintly ache. On the other hand, the fist that Lin Tian had punched him did not heavily injure him as he had imagined.


    The Old Devil Yin took back his palm and thoughtfully looked at Lin Tian. At this time, the clothes on the upper half of Lin Tian''s body had already been destroyed by the Old Devil Yin''s palm just now, revealing his firm muscles. Lin Tian''s body was like a piece of jade.


    Earlier, the Old Devil Yin used all his strength to strike his palm onto Lin Tian''s body, not leaving a single trace.


    At this moment, Lin Tian seemed to have comprehended something and stood in his original position without moving.


    Old Devil Yin looked strangely at Lin Tian and after looking for a long time he finally cried out in surprise: "You, you''re actually breaking through!"


    That''s right, Lin Tian was breaking through. After throwing out that fist just now, Lin Tian felt a small whirlpool in his dantian where an extremely strong power suddenly surged out and quickly spread to all the bones in his body. After the Essence passed through his body, Lin Tian suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of comfort surge into his heart.


    In these few days, Lin Tian continuously practiced the Great Destiny Fist and killed over a hundred demon beasts. In the battle with the demon beasts, Lin Tian was already able to nimbly move the Essence around his body.


    These days of bitter training, coupled with the big battle with Old Devil Yin just now, had actually thoroughly stimulated his own potential, which was why he was only able to break through to the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage in a few short days.


    The small whirlpool in his dantian had now completely revealed its power. It continuously sucked in the surrounding spirit energy from the heaven and earth. At this time, Lin Tian''s body was like a huge swallowing machine, crazily swallowing the spirit energy in the surroundings.


    "Leaving such a weird brat is definitely a huge problem. Furthermore, with such cultivation speed and such Innate Ability, even Ancestor is drooling over it. However, this body belongs to Ancestor ¡­" The Old Demon Yin was first shocked, but then he realized that he definitely could not let this child go. Moreover, he had once obtained a secret technique that allowed him to take over another person''s body.


    "Kill!" The Old Devil''s body instantly moved, but just as he rushed in front of Lin Tian, Lin Tian abruptly opened his eyes.


    "Kid, your body belongs to me." Old Devil Yin never thought that Lin Tian would actually complete the breakthrough so quickly, but the more it was like this, the stronger one had to strike first.


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth suddenly curved into a beautiful smile: Is that so? The fist you said just now is only this much right? Then you should watch carefully next ¡­ "


    "Hahaha." Old Devil laughed out loud. "You only want to take action now, it''s too late ¡­"


    "No, it''s not too late." Lin Tian shook his head.


    "Hmm?" The Old Devil Yin was slightly startled, as if he didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.


    Lin Tian suddenly roared out: "Explode for me!"


    Old Devil Shadow immediately felt that something was wrong, but by the time he had regained his senses, it was already too late.


    He felt that his entire body was surrounded by hidden forces. And with Lin Tian''s angry roar, the waves of fist power erupted. Monstrous power accumulated together and instantly exploded his body.


    Ah!" The Old Devil Yin''s pitiful cry was immediately heard, "Little bastard, you set me up ¡­


    Bang! Bang! Bang! The continuous explosions mixed with the Old Devil Yin''s shrill screams could be heard without end.


    Lin Tian finally revealed a brilliant smile: "You said it. My fist doesn''t have any effect on you. Now that you''ve seen it, my fist is useful ¡­."


    Lin Tian''s current punch had a total of four fist energies. Old Yin Demon had endured no less than five fist energies from Lin Tian and the five fist energies instantly erupted, so even if Old Yin Demon was above the eighth stage of Qi Disciple, he could only feel hatred.

 C8

    Lin Tian withdrew his fist and silently felt the power in his body. The difference between the 6th level of Qi Cultivating Stage and the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage was extremely obvious. Lin Tian could clearly feel that the power in his body had increased by several folds.


    Moreover, the key point was that after breaking through to Qi Disciple level 6, Lin Tian had a deeper understanding of the Great Manifestation Fist.


    Lin Tian now believed that he should be able to grasp another fist force. In other words, his fist now had at least five fists worth of force.


    Lin Tian had already comprehended five stages, there were still four stages. Once he comprehended the remaining four stages, it would symbolize that Lin Tian had completely mastered the first style of the Great Fortune Fist. At that time, he would be able to cultivate the second style.


    Lin Tian was incomparably happy. In just a few days time, the battle for the Source Spirit Pool would be fought. This time, he used this Old Devil Yin to test out his strength, allowing Lin Tian to have a foundation in his heart.


    If there were no surprises, Luo Chen would also participate in this competition for the Source Spirit Pool. But this time, Lin Tian would give him everything that Luo Chen had, and he would make Luo Chen return!


    No matter how much you insult me, bully me, or want to kill me, I will return it back to you hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times!


    But now, Lin Tian had to figure out who had sent Old Devil Yin to assassinate him.


    Everyone in Sky Dragon City knew that as long as you could get a price, you could get hold of Old Devil Yin. Furthermore, the price of this Old Devil Yin was very special, as long as it was pills, treasures, martial skills, or even money.


    In the entire Sky Dragon City, there weren''t many families that had the strength to take out such treasures and ask Old Devil Yin for help. Lin Tian guessed that it was Zhao Ba or Li Tianhai, the two families'' forces were either among the best in Sky Dragon City, and last night, Lin Tian had just taught them a lesson.


    Of course, the most likely person was Luo Chen, but Lin Tian hadn''t seen Luo Chen for the past two days. Normally, if Luo Chen knew that he wasn''t dead, he would definitely come find him.


    Lin Tian shook his head. These were all just his guesses. If he really wanted to know who it was, he could just ask Old Devil Yin. Although the explosive power was strong, at most it could heavily injure the Old Devil Yin, but it wouldn''t be able to kill him.


    The difference in strength between Lin Tian and Old Devil Yin was just too great. There was a total of three layers, and there were a total of nine stages in the Mortal Realm. The gap between each layer was like a chasm that was difficult to fill.


    As a result, even though Lin Tian had a powerful martial skill like the Great Destiny Fist, he was unable to kill an Old Devil at the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage.


    However, Old Devil Yin was now lying on the ground, gasping for his breath. It was obvious that he had been severely injured.


    Lin Tian walked in front of the Old Devil and stepped on him. He coldly said: "I know you''re not dead, but who asked you to kill me. Tell me, I''ll give you a quick death. If you don''t tell me, then I''ll slowly torture you to death ¡­ ¡­"


    "No, don''t kill me, don''t kill me. As long as you don''t kill me, not only will I tell you who asked me to kill you, I can also tell you a secret ¡­" The Old Devil suppressed his injuries and begged Lin Tian.


    "Say it, you don''t have any room for negotiation right now!" Lin Tian did not move at all. The human heart was sinister, who knew what this Old Devil Yin was planning.


    "It''s a woman. That woman is very beautiful, and she is slightly shorter than you ¡­" Old Devil Yin recalled Jiang Ru Xue''s appearance and said to Lin Tian, "That''s right, she also said that she is the young prince''s fiancee. For a moment, I was befuddled and took her Pure Spirit Pill, in order to be able to keep an eye on the young prince ¡­"


    Seeing that Lin Tian''s expression was not right, Old Devil continued to beg: "This young master, it was all because of that woman that said the young prince wanted to kill you. I did not know that she wanted to kill you ah, please do not kill me, I beg you ¡­ ¡­"


    "Jiang, Ru, Xue!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth and spat out these three words. Hearing the Old Devil''s words, Lin Tian immediately knew who the person who wanted to kill him was. It was none other than Jiang Ru Xue!


    Lin Tian had been full of intentions towards Jiang Ru Xue before, but now, Jiang Ru Xue actually wanted him to die. Alright, this time, I''ll take care of you and the young prince together!


    Lin Tian forcefully suppressed his anger. That dog-couple had plenty of time to clean up, but right now, he had to first take care of this Old Devil Yin.


    It was true that the Old Devil Yin was notorious, but he had lived in Sky Dragon City for many years and had committed many assassination attempts.


    Killing the Old Devil Yin was easy, but finding his lair wasn''t easy, so right now, he had to use all of the Old Devil Yin''s remaining value.


    "I''ll give you three breaths of time to tell me that secret." Lin Tian stomped his foot on the Old Devil''s lower abdomen. As long as he used a little bit of strength, he could destroy the Old Devil Yin''s Dantian.


    "I will speak, I will speak." How could Old Demon Yin not know what Lin Tian meant? He honestly replied: "I have lived in the Green Cliff Mountain for many years and discovered an extremely strange thing, every three years, there would be a movement deep within the Green Cliff Mountain accompanied by a phenomenon of the heaven and earth. However, my strength is weak, I did not dare enter the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain, so naturally I did not discover anything in the past few years.


    "You still want to lie to me? It seems that I have no choice but to teach you a lesson." Lin Tian didn''t believe the Old Devil Yin''s words at all. In the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain, there were extremely fierce demon beasts. The Old Devil Yin had said that there was some ancient land and an almighty''s tomb. Wasn''t his goal to trick Lin Tian into going deeper into the Green Cliff Mountain?


    However, once they dared to enter the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain, there was only death.


    Lin Tian said and his foot was just about to step on it, but Old Devil Yin roared out: "Really, what I said was true. If you don''t believe me, feel. I have evidence on me ¡­."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian frowned and indifferently said: "Don''t try to lie to me. If it''s fake, I can take your life in an instant."


    Old Devil Yin hurriedly nodded and took out a light green iron plate from his chest pocket.


    The metal plate was stained with rust, it didn''t look fake. Lin Tian grabbed the metal plate and carefully examined it, but he didn''t find anything strange.


    "These few years, there seems to be a volcano in the Green Cliff Mountain that has awakened, erupting once every three years. This is what I found in the range of that volcano eruption earlier, I think it must be related to some treasure, and this metal plate might even be the key to entering that treasure trove."


    "There seems to be something strange ¡­" When he received the metal tablet, Lin Tian did not feel anything, but gradually, Lin Tian felt that the metal tablet was emitting an extremely weak aura. That aura, Lin Tian felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he said where it was familiar.


    "Forget it, forget it." Lin Tian shook his head. Even if there was a almighty tomb or some ancient treasure trove, with his current strength, he wouldn''t be able to enter that deep part of the Green Cliff Mountain ¡­


    The most important thing was to obtain the item from the Old Devil.


    "I''ll give you one last chance, tell me where your residence is. Bring me there, I won''t kill you ¡­" Lin Tian thought for a moment and then said to Old Devil Yin.


    "Really?" Old Devil Yin originally thought that he would die for sure, but he didn''t expect that this boy was obsessed with wealth. He actually wanted to swallow all the accumulated wealth that he had accumulated over the years.


    This was good as well. It would be a good time to stall for time and recover his strength. At that time, even if he risked his life, he would still kill this boy.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "I guarantee that once we reach your cave abode, I won''t kill you. If you want to kill me, I will take your things. This can''t be considered as going too far right ¡­ ¡­"


    Old Devil Yin harbored evil intentions, he naturally wished for it. "Alright, I''ll bring you there right now."


    Lin Tian did not say much and directly grabbed the Old Devil Yin and silently left behind the force of the Great Destiny Fist on his body.


    He knew that if he tried to force his way through, the Old Devil wouldn''t reveal the location of his cave even if he were to die. Then, Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to obtain the treasure that the Old Devil Yin had accumulated for so many years, so he decided to first stabilize him, and when he arrived at his cave, it would not be too late to kill him.


    Along the way, the Old Devil wanted to stall for time and deliberately pointed out a few detours. Lin Tian didn''t seem to know as he followed the path of the Old Devil''s Finger and continued forward.


    On the way, the Old Devil even secretly stuffed a few pills into his mouth. Lin Tian acted as if he didn''t see it, but in return, on the way back, unknowingly, he had already left dozens of fists force on the Old Devil''s body.


    The power of the fist would not be detected at all. As long as it was not detonated, the enemy would not even know that he possessed such a terrifying power.


    These dozens of fist powers were enough for Old Devil Yin to die dozens of times.


    Finally, after a short moment, Lin Tian brought the Old Devil to his dwelling.


    It had to be said that the cave was extremely hidden. If it wasn''t for the Old Devil leading the way, Lin Tian really wouldn''t have been able to find where his cave was.


    "Lead the way. Take out everything you have hidden in your cave." Lin Tian pushed Old Devil Yin, letting him walk in front while he followed behind.


    Lin TianAo knew that Old Devil Yin would definitely set up a trap in his cave, which was why he had Old Devil Yin lead the way, while he himself followed behind.


    Sure enough, when Old Devil Yin walked, he looked normal, but in reality, he had hidden rules and methods. After Lin Tian had undergone the transformation with the dragon blood, his perception and comprehension ability had greatly increased. He remembered Old Devil Yin''s footsteps and walked forward in strict accordance with Old Devil Yin''s steps.


    Just as he was about to enter the cave, Old Devil Yin suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    "Why did you stop? Let''s go!" Lin Tian shouted to the Old Devil Yin.


    "What are you doing, kid? I''m going to kill you!" Old Devil Yin suddenly turned around. A palm formed from all the Essence in his body shot out.


    But when the Old Devil Yin turned his head, he suddenly discovered that Lin Tian was not behind him.


    His palm strike missed!


    Lin Tian actually just stood there without moving.


    The Old Demon Yin and he were ten steps apart. This palm strength, when it reached Lin Tian, would greatly weaken.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, had a face full of smiles as he looked at Old Devil Yin: "Old Devil, let me send you to the Western Sky!"


    "Explode for me!" Lin Tian suddenly roared out.


    "Bang, bang, bang." Accompanying the three sounds of explosions, an endless amount of fist power instantly exploded on Old Devil Yin''s body.


    The Old Devil Yin cried out in pain as his body was struck by the fist power and turned into a rain of blood, scattering on the ground.


    Lin Tian coldly snorted. This Old Demon Yin was still trying to trick him. He was afraid that he had made a mistake in his plan.

    After settling the Old Devil Yin, Lin Tian followed the route the Old Devil Yin had taken and rushed into the Old Devil Yin''s cave. Just in case, Lin Tian even intentionally threw a few stones into the cave, but in the end he didn''t find anything out of the ordinary.


    There was nothing special in the cave, only a few stone tables and stools.


    Lin Tian began to search for the treasure that the Old Demon Yin was hiding. The Old Demon Yin had already become famous for a long time, even though his name was infamous in Sky Dragon City, he had done a lot of things like killing people to steal their treasures and assassinate them.


    Thus, the treasures obtained were certainly not small. Moreover, the Old Devil Yin Gang killed people without taking money and only took treasures, especially pills, divine weapons, and martial skills.


    However, no matter what the Old Devil Yin took, it was no longer important because in the end, it had all taken advantage of Lin Tian.


    Finally, Lin Tian found the Old Demon Yin''s treasure cave in a mechanism door in the cave.


    "I''m rich, I''m rich ¡­" Lin Tian looked at the entire cave and his heart was filled with ecstasy.


    Lin Tian also didn''t think that Old Devil Yin''s accumulated knowledge for so many years would actually be able to hide so many treasures.


    Inside, there was a whole cabinet full of medicinal pellets. There were all sorts of jade bottles, and on the side, there were all sorts of divine weapons. Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, everything.


    Apart from this, there was also a whole bookshelf. On top of the bookshelf were all sorts of martial arts techniques and cultivation techniques, as well as all sorts of other treasures, such as bracelets, armors, and the like.


    And most importantly, there were actually two storage rings on the cabinet that held the pills!


    Storage rings, to Lin Tian, were too attractive. Storage rings were rarely seen in the Sky Dragon Academy, and the only things Lin Tian had seen were Xiao Yunhai and the three great young masters with such treasures. The space within the storage ring was extremely large and could hold many things, but its value was also very high.


    Originally, Lin Tian was still worried about how he would take these treasures after obtaining them, but now with this storage ring, these things were no longer a problem.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly put them into his two storage rings. He turned around and left.


    Lin Tian hurriedly returned to his home and put the storage ring filled with other things in his home. On the other hand, he took the other storage ring with him, and the storage ring that he had brought with him was filled with elixirs. After hiding his storage ring, Lin Tian once again returned to the Green Cliff Mountain to practice his Great Destiny Fist.


    He had just comprehended the fifth stage of the Great Manifestation Fist, there were still four stages which he had yet to comprehend. Only after comprehending the remaining four stages of the Great Manifestation Fist, Lin Tian was able to practice the second stage.


    The battle for the Source Spirit Pool was about to begin and he would definitely run into Luo Chen. If Lin Tian wanted to take revenge, he would have to work even harder.


    Time flew by in the blink of an eye. It was the annual battle for the Source Spirit Pool at Sky Dragon Academy. The battle for the Source Spirit Pool was an event that happened once a year for Sky Dragon Academy.


    It was a natural spiritual energy pool filled with limitless Spiritual Energy. To a cultivator, it was a rare treasure. If one could cultivate in it for a day, it would be equivalent to half a year''s worth of hard work.


    It was said that it was because there was a spiritual vein underneath the ground that such a powerful spiritual energy pool had been formed. Every student that cultivated in the Source Spirit Pool would cultivate at a rapid pace.


    However, the Source Spirit Pool wasn''t something that was inexhaustible. After taking over the Sky Dragon Academy, the principal had set an annual rule that allowed him to fight for the Source Spirit Pool.


    Every year when the Source Spirit Pool opened, three geniuses would be selected to train in it as a reward.


    The competition for the Source Spirit Pool was for the three slots that would allow one to enter the Yuan Spirit Pool.


    Among the students from the previous batch, three of them had entered the Source Spirit Pool to cultivate. Now, the three seniors had successfully opened their aurasea, one had entered the Qingzhou Clear Cloud Academy, and the other two had entered the imperial guards of Qingzhou.


    Therefore, this year''s students were all eyeing the three slots covetously. Once they entered the Source Spirit Pool to cultivate, their future would soar to greatness and they might even become dragons and phoenixes in the future.


    Besides a few prominent students like the three great young masters, the rest of the students in the Sky Dragon Academy were from the commoner district like Lin Tian. Naturally, they yearned to soar into the heavens.


    There were only two days left before the competition for the Source Spirit Pool opened. The training atmosphere in the Sky Dragon Academy immediately became enthusiastic.


    However, at this moment, a piece of news suddenly came from Prince Yongan''s Mansion in Sky Dragon City. Young master Luo Chen had already reached the 6th level of Qi Cultivating Stage after half a month of hard work.


    However, there were many people who felt somewhat helpless. Once the young prince Luo Chen breaks through, the number of people fighting for the Source Spirit Pool would naturally be one less. This meant that the competition for the Source Spirit Pool would be even more brutal.


    One day later, the number one family in Sky Dragon City, the Li Family, announced that the Li Family''s Eldest Young Master, Li Tianhai, had also broken through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage.


    At the same time, the Zhao Family of Sky Dragon City''s number two family, announced that Zhao Ba of the Zhao Family had also broken through to Qi Disciple level 6.


    Everyone knew what this meant. This meant that the competition for the Source Spirit Pool probably had nothing to do with them, the students from the commoner district. The three great young masters had broken through one after another and became experts at the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. Basically, they could already lock in the three spots.


    At the same time, many students in Sky Dragon City also began to discuss why they hadn''t heard anything about Lin Tian. Lin Tian was named as the hope of the commoner district, and amongst the students in the commoner district, he was the only genius that could compete with the three great young masters.


    However, there were already many people who had not seen Lin Tian for many days. Ever since Lin Tian had destroyed Zhao Ba and Li Tianhai with a single fist, no one had seen Lin Tian and no one knew where Lin Tian had gone.


    That''s right, Lin Tian was still in the Green Cliff Mountain. In fact, after killing the Old Demon Yin, Lin Tian never returned and only stayed in the Green Cliff Mountain.


    During the day, Lin Tian crazily hunted demon beasts and trained his Great Destiny Fist. At night, Lin Tian started to crazily cultivate. The pills the Old Devil Yin gave made Lin Tian''s Essence stay in its best condition.


    With the help of those pills, Lin Tian did not need to worry about his Essence being exhausted.


    Thus, Lin Tian would bitterly cultivate day and night. Until now, he could already faintly feel that he could very soon break through to the 7th level of the Qi Disciple realm.


    This was when Lin Tian was suppressing his own cultivation speed. If he didn''t suppress his own cultivation speed, Lin Tian would have already broken through.


    These past few days of bitter training had once again allowed Lin Tian to comprehend two fists of strength. Right now, when Lin Tian displayed the Great Destiny Fist, he could completely release seven fists of strength, and the power from the continuous seven fists of strength exploding could almost instantly blast away dozens of Level 1 demon beasts.


    It had to be known that even if it was a Qi Disciple level 9 expert, when encountering the encirclement of dozens of demon beasts, if they wanted to completely destroy them, they would need to spend some effort. However, in front of Lin Tian, they only needed one punch.


    Calculating the days, Lin Tian did not plan to stay in the Green Cliff Mountain. He also knew the importance of the Source Spirit Pool. After training in the Source Spirit Pool, it could be said that it would be of great help to open up the Qi Sea in the future.


    Thus, it was impossible for Lin Tian to miss such a good opportunity.


    Lin Tian didn''t continue to stay on Green Cliff Mountain and hurried back to Sky Dragon Academy.


    At the same time, the three great young masters were completely gathered together. The last time they were injured by Lin Tian, Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba had returned to their own family and started to close up. In order to break through to the 6th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, they worked hard.


    "In that case, not only is that little bastard still alive, he''s even stronger than before?" Luo Chen''s face turned sinister as he listened to Zhao Ba and Li Tianhai recount what happened earlier.


    "That''s right. Young Prince, were you sure you destroyed his meridians and dantian back then?" Zhao Ba couldn''t help but ask. These days, he had been thinking about the battle with that little bastard.


    Back then, that little bastard had defeated him with a single fist strike. Moreover, when that fist attack was thrown out, Zhao Ba did not even have the strength to resist.


    "Are you suspecting me?" Luo Chen''s expression immediately became displeased: "Little Wang said that crippling him is equivalent to crippling him. Moreover, I personally kicked him off the Green Cliff Mountain. Strange, how could that kid be fine?"


    Luo Chen was confused as well. He had clearly personally crippled that fellow, so there was no way he would make a mistake. Furthermore, he was the one who kicked Lin Tian off the cliff.


    And later on, he even sent two of his trusted servants to collect Lin Tian''s corpse.


    That''s right, when he thought of this, Luo Chen suddenly thought of his two trusted servants. It seemed that they had never returned ever since they left that day.


    "Don''t be impatient, young prince. I have heard a legend in the family recently and it is extremely interesting. Young prince, do you want to hear it?" Li Tianhai noticed that Luo Chen''s expression wasn''t right and hurriedly said.


    "If you have sh * t, hurry up and fart." Luo Chen was frustrated.


    "Rumor has it that there is an ancient land in the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain. Of course, it could also be the tomb of an almighty ancient cultivator." Li Tianhai said with a faint smile, "Every three years, there will be a disturbance deep within the Green Cliff Mountain. This year, just happens to be the third year ¡­"


    Seeing that Luo Chen was a little impatient, Li Tianhai said, "That kid had his meridians and dantian crippled by you, Young Marquis, and then he fell down the cliff. He didn''t fall into a meat patty, and his strength also increased by several folds.


    Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "You mean that after I kicked that kid off the cliff, he must have gotten some sort of fortuitous gain. That''s why he didn''t die, and his strength also increased greatly?"


    "I''m not sure either, but all of this isn''t a coincidence, is it?" A strange light flashed in Li Tianhai''s eyes.


    "Regardless of the truth or falsehood, I will make this kid kneel and beg for death in this battle for the Source Spirit Pool!" Luo Chen hardened his heart as he coldly said with a ferocious look on his face.

    When it finally came to the day of the competition for the Source Spirit Pool, the entire Sky Dragon Academy was in an uproar. Even the outstanding disciples that normally did not leave their houses had rushed out from some secluded cultivation, all for the competition for the Source Spirit Pool.


    The battle for the Source Spirit Pool this time around was going to be a big one.


    Xiao Yunhai had also come out. Previously, Xiao Yunhai had been in closed door cultivation, which was also why the three great young masters dared to attack Lin Tian at that time.


    After Xiao Yunhai came out of seclusion, he had heard some things about Lin Tian and the three great young masters, so he didn''t ask about them.


    At this moment, in the training grounds of Sky Dragon Academy, there was a sea of people and a clamor of voices could be heard. It was obvious that these people were the disciples that had come to participate in the competition for the Source Spirit Pool.


    It could be said that besides Lin Tian, almost all the other disciples had already arrived and were waiting for the competition for the Source Spirit Pool to begin.


    Xiao Yunhai sat on the high platform to the side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds with some doubts in his heart. Today was the battle for the Source Spirit Pool, why hadn''t Lin Tian arrived yet?


    It was not excessive to say that Lin Tian was his favorite disciple. One must know that when Lin Tian had entered the Sky Dragon Academy, Xiao Yunhai had admired this talented disciple with astonishing comprehension ability.


    Thus, Xiao Yunhai''s expectations for him were also very high. He believed that Sky Dragon Academy was not Lin Tian''s end and that Lin Tian would sooner or later be able to go to a better school to cultivate.


    Thus, Xiao Yunhai had always been very concerned about Lin Tian, and what was even more important was that Lin Tian was a disciple who had come from a commoner district. Xiao Yunhai''s origin was also extremely lowly, and the two of them were of the same origin; this caused Xiao Yunhai to be even more expectant of his future growth.


    When Xiao Yunhai came out of seclusion, he had already heard about Lin Tian''s achievements. However, he only knew that Lin Tian had injured Zhao Ba and Li Tianhai, but did not know that Luo Chen and Jiang Ru Xue had colluded to kill Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian still hadn''t come yet. Although he also wanted to wait, he saw that everyone was eagerly waiting for the start. He didn''t want to drag it out for too long, so he directly let everyone start first.


    The person in charge of the competition for the Source Spirit Pool was the academy''s instructor, Hu Yuancheng. Normally, he was the one teaching the academy''s martial arts, but this Instructor Hu Yuancheng was upright, upright, and upright, which convinced all the seniors. This was also the reason why Xiao Yunhai assured him that he would be in charge of this competition.


    After receiving Xiao Yunhai''s indication, Hu Yuancheng directly walked onto the stage, and said in a clear voice to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone already can''t wait. The competition for the Source Spirit Pool, is a grand occasion for my Sky Dragon Academy, and is also the stage for everyone to display their strength.


    Hu Yuancheng looked at the eager seniors, and a pleased smile appeared on his face as he said, "This competition has been divided into three rounds!"


    "The first round will be the elimination round. As the name implies, those who don''t have the strength will be eliminated. In the elimination round, the victor will be decided by drawing lots." "But remember, all of them are students of our Sky Dragon Academy. Don''t kill them!" At the end, Hu Yuancheng''s voice suddenly turned stern.


    "Do you understand the rules?"


    "Understood." Everyone replied in unison.


    "Alright, since that''s the case, let the elimination round begin. We will now draw lots!"


    The group of students walked to the front of the stage and began drawing lots.


    "You must protect me, not the three great young masters. You must protect me!" Someone began to mutter nonstop.


    The others were not surprised. No one was willing to fight against the three great young masters since they were all at the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. In the entire Sky Dragon Academy, only the three of them had reached this level.


    "Those students who have drawn number one, come up to compete now!" Hu Yuancheng yelled at the crowd.


    The two people with number one were both level four Qi Cultivating Stage students. Their fight could be said to be a perfect match, and after a long time, a student called Wang Jian successfully beat his opponent and advanced to the next round.


    Time passed minute by minute, second by second, and the entire martial ring erupted with cheers and cheers.


    Soon, the serial number changed from 1 to 20.


    This proved that ten disciples had already been eliminated. Naturally, it was because they had no fate with the Source Spirit Pool.


    At this time, Lin Tian was unable to immediately rush to Sky Dragon Academy because the current him had encountered some trouble, a very thorny problem.


    In the past few days, Lin Tian crazily cultivated the Great Fortune Fist and had almost killed all of the demon beasts surrounding the Green Cliff Mountain.


    But because of that, Lin Tian had no choice but to go deeper to look for demon beasts to hunt, but because of that, Lin Tian fell into trouble.


    When Lin Tian felt that he entered the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain, he already felt that something wasn''t right. Indeed, when he prepared to leave, he was blocked by a large group of monsters.


    In front of the group of Monstrous Beasts, there was an extremely fierce Monstrous Beast. It was a rank 2 Monstrous Beast.


    A Level 2 demon beast was equivalent to a human Qi Hai warrior!


    His strength was much stronger than Lin Tian''s.


    When Lin Tian saw the Rank 2 Demonic Beast, he immediately understood that he had entered the territory of this Demonic Beast. Otherwise, this Demonic Beast would not have come to cause trouble for him.


    However, once they entered the interior of the Green Cliff Mountain, the territories of the demon beasts were very clear. In the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain, Level Two demon beasts had to be divided into territories, and generally speaking, they belonged to one of the demon beasts. Outsiders were not allowed to enter, and the demon beasts were not allowed to do so.


    That was also the reason why Lin Tian felt that it was so troublesome right now. After all, he had cultivated here for many days, so naturally the number of demon beasts he had killed was countless. Presumably, he had angered this rank 2 demon beast, so the most important thing was that this demon beast was not alone, but was leading all of the demon beasts in its territory.


    This was even more troublesome.


    If they were all level one demon beasts, to Lin Tian, it would at most take a bit of effort. But Lin Tian could at least deal with them, but right now, Lin Tian still had to face a level two demon beast.


    Facing off against a Rank 2 Demonic Beast, Lin Tian really didn''t have any confidence ¡­.


    Just as Lin Tian was in a dilemma over the demon beasts, from the distance, a rumbling sound like a group of beasts coming in groups could be heard.


    Lin Tian slightly froze, but the demon beasts that were in confrontation with Lin Tian were now somewhat manic. It faced the sky and roared. The demon beasts behind it immediately began to be vigilant, and groups of demon beasts began to crazily roar.


    Lin Tian did not know what had happened, but he had a faint feeling that the opportunity in front of him was an opportunity.


    Just as Lin Tian was quickly thinking of how to escape from this place, from the distance, a scream suddenly came: "Help, help!"


    When Lin Tian heard that voice, he instantly felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking for a while, Lin Tian''s eyes shot out rays of light in all directions. He didn''t think that the one who would shout for help would be her!


    At the same time, the competition for the Source Spirit Pool had already reached a point where it was like a raging fire.


    After the elimination round, there had originally been over a hundred students of Sky Dragon Academy, but now there was less than half that.


    The three young masters naturally advanced early on. With a cultivation base at the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, they were definitely an outstanding existence among this group of students.


    Luo Chen had been sizing up his surroundings the entire time, wanting to find Lin Tian''s figure. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he was unable to find him.


    "Didn''t you say that the kid is still alive? "Where is that kid?" Luo Chen asked Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba.


    Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba also looked at each other. They clearly didn''t know why Lin Tian hadn''t come.


    Normally speaking, this little bastard would never give up on this competition for the Source Spirit Pool. After all, cultivating in the Source Spirit Pool was an opportunity that could only be found by luck and not sought.


    Seeing that the two of them were stuttering and unable to speak, Luo Chen''s gaze immediately turned cold: "I said you two aren''t trying to trick me right!"


    Zhao Ba and Li Tianhai immediately shook their heads, "Young prince, we''ve known each other for so many years, how could we possibly lie to you? The two of us really saw that little bastard, and when we were defeated by him in one punch, all the seniors present saw it!"


    Luo Chen also knew that the two of them wouldn''t lie to him, but thinking about that little bastard Lin Tian made him angry. However, Luo Chen suddenly thought of something else.


    What about Jiang Ru Xue?


    Luo Chen looked around, but he did not see Jiang Ru Xue!


    Normally, it was Jiang Ru Xue who went to look for him. But ever since he came out of seclusion, he hadn''t seen any trace of Jiang Ru Xue!


    That day, he had hurriedly gone into closed door cultivation and had not paid much attention to Jiang Ru Xue. However, in the days after he had emerged from closed door cultivation, he had not seen her.


    "That bitch!" Luo Chen''s gaze turned cold.


    Luo Chen thought of one possibility, which was that in the few days that he had been in closed door cultivation, that bitch had seen Lin Tian''s strength increase greatly. Could it be that she had gone back to look for Lin Tian?


    Jiang Ru Xue looked pure and arrogant, but in her bones, she was a lowly woman!


    Luo Chen was furious. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that Lin Tian was still alive, but no one knew where he was. Even Jiang Ru Xue had gone missing.


    This adulterous couple!


    Luo Chen''s gaze was vicious as he whispered something to Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba. Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba''s expressions immediately changed.


    Zhao Ba couldn''t help but ask, "Young Prince, what about this matter?"


    "What do we do? Find this adulterous couple, I''ll torture them to death myself!" Luo Chen gritted his teeth.


    "Take my order badge and mobilize all the royal guards. Even if you have to search through the entire Sky Dragon City, I will find this wretched couple!" Luo Chen took out a token and gave it to Zhao Ba.


    "Alright." Zhao Ba took the token and quickly left.


    Luo Chen''s guess was right, Jiang Ru Xue was indeed with Lin Tian.


    It was just not what he had imagined.


    The cry for help that Lin Tian had just heard was precisely Jiang Ru Xue''s voice!

 C11

    It turned out that the day Jiang Ru Xue asked Old Devil Yin to kill Lin Tian was a three day agreement.


    However, Old Devil Yin had already been killed by Lin Tian, so when Jiang Ru Xue came looking for him three days later, she naturally missed. Not only that, but Jiang Ru Xue also discovered that Old Devil Yin had gone missing.


    The items in his cave were obviously all taken away, he must have escaped ¡­


    Jiang Ru Xue never thought that it was Lin Tian who killed Old Devil Yin. She thought that Old Devil Yin had taken her Spirit Cleansing Pill and was afraid of offending Xiao Yunhai, so she didn''t dare kill Lin Tian. Instead, she turned around and ran.


    However, when Jiang Ru Xue came out of Old Devil Yin''s cave, she discovered that she couldn''t get out.


    Jiang Ru Xue''s current strength was only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, and this was with Luo Chen''s help. She just broke through not too long ago, so she naturally wouldn''t be a match for that second level demon beast. Hence, Jiang Ru Xue still had the treasure given to her by Luo Chen.


    Jiang Ru Xue kept on running towards the south precisely to escape from this place. But for three days in a row, the rank 2 Monstrous Beast behind her also followed her for three days and three nights.


    Level two demon beasts were not comparable to level one demon beasts, and there were even many level two demon beasts that had their intelligence awakened. That level two demon beast knew that Jiang Ru Xue had treasures in her hands that she could defend herself with, so it didn''t slow down at all as it chased after Jiang Ru Xue, waiting until she no longer had the strength to run.


    In the end, Jiang Ru Xue went from the territory of that demon beast to its territory.


    Lin Tian''s heart was also filled with anger. After he heard Jiang Ru Xue''s cry for help, he had already guessed why Jiang Ru Xue had come to this Green Cliff Mountain alone.


    Presumably, they were here for his head. But unfortunately, Old Devil Yin was a trash. He couldn''t kill him at all, and was instead killed by him.


    Lin Tian did not move and quietly looked at the changes in his surroundings. Right now the rank 2 beast in front of him seemed to be extremely angry, as it was likely brought by Jiang Ru Xue, causing the beast in front of him to think that he was going to steal his territory. That was why he was on full alert, as all the rank 1 beasts behind the rank 2 beast were preparing to start fighting.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" A loud sound that was mixed with the angry roars of Demonic Beasts reverberated over the entire Green Cliff Mountain.


    It was obvious that those demon beasts were approaching and could enter this demon beast''s territory at any time.


    "Save me! Is there anyone here? Save me ¡­" Jiang Ru Xue''s voice sounded again.


    Lin Tian gazed into the distance and quickly discovered a group of demon beasts coming from the north. The leader was a level two demon wolf.


    The demonic wolf had a pair of wings on its back, and its eyes were filled with an ominous glint.


    Jiang Ru Xue dashed crazily in front of the demon wolf. Her clothes were already torn to many places and there were many shocking wounds on her arms.


    Jiang Ru Xue was slightly startled, thinking that she had escaped from the clutches of the devil. But when she turned her head to look again, there was a two-headed demon tiger in front of her that was staring at her with a vicious gaze.


    She didn''t think that just as she escaped from Wolf''s Palm, she would fall back into the tiger''s den.


    However, not far away from the demon tiger, there seemed to be a silhouette of a person.


    Jiang Ru Xue''s spirit was immediately lifted. But when she clearly saw that person''s figure, Jiang Ru Xue suddenly froze. That person, why did he look so familiar?


    "It''s Lin Tian!" Jiang Ru Xue screamed out in shock: "Lin Tian!"


    "It''s me." Lin Tian instantly rushed in front of Jiang Ru Xue: "What? Are you that surprised to see me?"


    Lin Tian looked around at Jiang Ru Xue: "It''s very strange that I didn''t die. It''s also very strange that when I went to find Old Devil Yin, he actually went missing?"


    Jiang Ru Xue suddenly thought of an impossible outcome. With a trembling voice, she asked, "You ¡­ you killed Old Devil Yin?"


    "I guessed it right, but there isn''t any reward ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently stared at Jiang Ru Xue: "Jiang Ru Xue, back then I really did give you my all, right? I just couldn''t understand why you would treat me like this."


    It''s not that I, Lin Tian, am too weak, nor is it that I, Lin Tian, am incapable. It''s even more so that I, Lin Tian, am unable to give you everything you want. "Lowly!" Lin Tian''s voice suddenly became cold and stern: "It''s you who wants to climb high, it''s you who willingly fell and became Luo Chen''s plaything. But even if you betrayed me and I wanted to take revenge on you, I never thought of killing you ¡­ ¡­"


    "But you seem to have miscalculated your plan, I never thought that you would actually want to find an assassin to kill me, then I will find you to properly calculate the debt, if you want to kill my people, I, Lin Tian, will definitely return it a hundred times ¡­"


    As he finished speaking, Lin Tian''s words were like ice.


    The Spirit Demon tiger behind him had no time to pay attention to Lin Tian, because the opposing Demonic Wolf was eyeing him covetously. Clearly, it wanted to invade its territory, but it absolutely did not allow that to happen.


    However, the demon wolf refused to budge. It stared at Jiang Ru Xue, as if there was something on her body that was attracting it.


    As Jiang Ru Xue listened to Lin Tian''s accusation, her expression became exceptionally sinister: "No, all of this is your fault. You can''t give me everything I want, I don''t want to stay in the commoner district forever. I want to be a noble person, I want to be the young wangfei, Lin Tian, even if Old Devil Yin can''t kill you, I want to kill you.


    Jiang Ru Xue originally wanted to escape, but after seeing Lin Tian and the two Rank 2 Demonic Beasts, she completely gave up. But even if she were to die, she would drag Lin Tian down with her.


    Just as he was about to detonate, Lin Tian suddenly made his move. In the blink of an eye, he snatched away the object in Jiang Ru Xue''s hand. Not only that, Lin Tian also instantly pulled out his Great Destiny Fist and punched Jiang Ru Xue''s body.


    Jiang Ru Xue immediately flew backwards. She might still be able to withstand the power of the punch, but the power of the punch was something she couldn''t resist at all.


    "Heavenly Thunder Pearl?" After Lin Tian held it in his hand, he realized what it was. It was actually the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.


    This was a treasure from the King Yongan Mansion, and it was extremely powerful. It was said that this bead contained an extremely powerful lightning energy. If he were to use his spiritual energy to detonate it, it would be as powerful as a full-powered strike from a Qi Hai warrior.


    "Jiang Ru Xue, you have such a vicious heart!" Lin Tian was like a furious lion as he roared at Jiang Ru Xue.


    If this thing really exploded, even if Lin Tian did not die, he would be heavily injured by the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.


    Jiang Ru Xue really wanted to perish together with Lin Tian.


    "Fine, fine, fine. Since you want to kill me so much, I cannot do as you wish even more. Don''t blame me for being ruthless." As Lin Tian said this, he suddenly punched towards Jiang Ru Xue, but the power behind his fist shot towards the demon wolf behind Jiang Ru Xue.


    "Explode!" Lin Tian fiercely roared out and his figure instantly explosively retreated.


    The speed of his punch was also fast and it was also fast. Just as his figure quickly retreated, an explosion also instantly sounded out. Lin Tian''s fist strength from the Great Destiny Fist loudly exploded on the demon wolf''s body.


    The monstrous fist power spread out, actually injuring the left wing of the demon wolf, which immediately began to crazily roar, its wings slightly flapped, and it pounced towards Lin Tian.


    However, the moment it pounced over, the two-headed tiger also moved out. The two-headed tiger was unrelenting in its anger. Since this demon wolf dared to barge into its territory, then it would not rest until it was dead.


    "Roar!" The two-headed demon tiger pounced towards the Winged Demon Wolf.


    The demon beasts behind him also followed suit and madly pounced towards the demon beast brought by the Winged Demon Wolf.


    The demonic beasts madly started to bite each other. It was an extremely terrifying scene.


    Jiang Ru Xue was in the middle of two groups of demon beasts. She didn''t even have the time to scream before she was stomped to death by a group of demon beasts.


    The screams abruptly stopped, but Lin Tian did not turn around. The killing of these monsters would not end in a short while, and right now they did not have the time to care about Lin Tian. This was also the chance for Lin Tian to escape.


    Lin Tian didn''t have the slightest hesitation as he turned his head and ran out of the Green Cliff Mountain.


    The struggle for the Source Spirit Pool was more important. That bitch, Jiang Ru Xue, had finally died, Lin Tian''s emotions did not fluctuate at all, if it wasn''t for Luo Chen crippling her and allowing him to see the true nature of this woman, he would probably be cheated even more miserably in the future. He had already given his all for love''s sake, it''s just that Jiang Ru Xue was not worthy of his love.


    What has passed, let him go. There was still a long way to go, and there were still many enemies to be killed. There was still a higher level of martial arts to be explored.


    There was no need to block his path for a woman.


    But now that Jiang Ru Xue was dead, there was only one enemy left.


    Lin Tian narrowed his eyes: "Luo Chen, you better wait for me. Wait for me to take your dog head!"


    Lin Tian increased his speed. In half a day, he had already rushed back to Sky Dragon Academy.


    At this moment, the battle for the Source Spirit Pool had come to an end.


    A large portion of the participants had been eliminated in the first round of eliminations. The curtain had just fallen on the second round of group stages.


    Luo Chen was ranked first in the group competition, Li Tianhai was second, and Zhao Ba was third.


    These three had basically locked down the three spots for the competition for the Source Spirit Pool. The next and final round would be the Challenge Competition.


    The top three of the group would accept the challenge of all the other students. As long as the other students felt that they could defeat the one among them, they could take their place.


    At that time, the three young masters were sitting on three special chairs on the stage, waiting for the crowd to challenge them.


    Lin Tian let out a long breath and hurried on. In the end, he was not late and the time was just right.


    At this moment, Hu Yuancheng looked at the three people on the stage who were full of themselves, and then looked at the crowd below the stage. He sighed and asked, "Disciples, are there any disciples who want to challenge us?"


    Everyone looked at each other in dismay. The level five Qi Cultivating Stage students who went up to challenge Zhao Ba didn''t even manage to make a move. With such strength, how could they challenge the stronger Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba?


    Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had given up.


    Hu Yuancheng had no choice but to announce, "Now, I declare that the final victor of the battle for the Source Spirit Pool is the three students who have entered the Primary Spirit Pool to cultivate..."


    Before he could finish his words, a cold shout suddenly came from the side, "I, have come to challenge ¡ª"

 C12

    Everyone was shocked. Who was so daring to challenge these three young masters? Did they not want to die?


    Everyone followed the source of the voice and saw a young man with cold eyes not too far away.


    It was Lin Tian!


    At this time, Lin Tian''s eyes were filled with cold light as he stared at Luo Chen who was sitting on the high platform: "Luo Chen, luckily you didn''t disappoint me. You must sit still and let me take your dog life!"


    Hu Yuancheng was also startled. He looked over and also saw Lin Tian.


    However, after looking around, Lin Tian''s body still had blood stains and his clothes were in tatters. Even the sweat on his brow hadn''t completely disappeared. It was clear that Lin Tian had just experienced a great battle.


    Hu Yuancheng was about to say something when he was interrupted by Xiao Yunhai who was sitting on the high platform: "Tian, what''s going on? Where have you been these past few days? "


    Only now did Hu Yuancheng come to his senses. Lin Tian was Xiao Yunhai''s disciple, so he immediately shut his mouth and didn''t say anything more.


    But Luo Chen, who was also sitting on the high platform, was so angry that his lungs were about to burst: "Little bastard Lin Tian!"


    He used his token to mobilize the royal guards and searched through the entire Sky Dragon City, but he still couldn''t find this little beast. Of course, he also couldn''t find Jiang Ru Xue.


    This made Luo Chen even angrier, this basically proved his guess, that the little bitch was with Lin Tian, that slut with broken shoes!


    Now looking at Lin Tian''s posture, perhaps he had just returned with that little bitch ¡­


    Thinking of this, Luo Chen''s heart burned with anger. He wanted to rush up and tear Lin Tian apart.


    However, he had no choice but to reply to Xiao Yunhai''s question. He walked in front of Xiao Yunhai, bent over, and muttered a few sentences, simply recounting what had happened to him over the past few days to Xiao Yunhai.


    However, right after, he angrily slammed the table in front of him, causing it to immediately shatter into pieces. His lips trembled as he said: "It''s the reverse, really the reverse. I''ve only been in seclusion for a few days, and there''s already such a huge problem. I don''t even have a principal like me in my heart!"


    However, Lin Tian directly pulled Xiao Yunhai back. His tone was indescribably calm: "Master, this is my own hatred. Please rest assured, Master, that I will take revenge myself."


    Xiao Yunhai stared blankly for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Didn''t you say your Dantian and meridians were crippled?"


    Lin Tian laughed mischievously: "Master, I have another opportunity. I''ll let you know after I take care of these stinky bugs."


    "Hmm?" This disciple seemed to be different from before. As for what was different, he couldn''t say. He hesitated for a moment, then felt for Lin Tian''s pulse.


    "Qi Training Seven ¡­" Before he went into closed door cultivation, Lin Tian''s cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. He had thought that after he went into closed door cultivation, it would be pretty good if Lin Tian could break through to the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage at most, but now, it seems like he had underestimated this disciple of his. Lin Tian had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage ¡­


    It seemed like this brat was referring to an opportunity. This was definitely not a small opportunity. His dantian and meridians were destroyed, yet he could still restore them. It was simply inconceivable.


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything more. He turned around and jumped onto the martial stage. He bowed and said: "Instructor Hu, I want to challenge."


    Hu Yuancheng naturally agreed. He had a good impression of Lin Tian as a student. Lin Tian was not only talented, but even though his background was ordinary, but no matter who he was, he was still very courteous, making people feel like they were in the spring.


    "Which one are you challenging?" Hu Yuancheng''s tone also became a lot softer. Although Lin Tian did not participate in the knockout and group competitions, with the dean here, these rules naturally did not matter.


    "Disciple ¡­" Lin Tian paused, he then raised his head and coldly stared at the three people: "Disciple wants to challenge the three of them!"


    "What?" When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.


    The audience was in an uproar.


    "Is Lin Tian crazy? You actually want to challenge the three of them? "


    "I''ve long felt that something was wrong with Lin Tian. I only found out a few days ago that it was Jiang Ru Xue who abandoned Lin Tian and followed the young prince. Right now, these two are love rivals ¡­" Some people acted as if they knew the inside story.


    "But even so, there''s no need to court death. The three of them are all at the 6th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. What about Lin Tian? Right now, he is only at the 5th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, right?" Some people found it unbelievable.


    "This is because of love, right? But Lin Tian doing this is truly not wise. I think this time Lin Tian will fall under the hands of that woman ¡­"


    Everyone was discussing and all felt that it was inconceivable. However, most of them were fighting for Lin Tian. After all, they were all disciples from the same region.


    "Hahaha, the heavens are on my side. This little bastard actually delivered himself to my doorstep ¡­" On the contrary, he was very happy. Originally, he thought that this little bastard would be scared and not dare to challenge him, but now, this little bastard actually wanted to challenge him! He was truly courting death!


    Hu Yuancheng also frowned and asked: "Lin Tian, are you sure you want to challenge the three of them one by one?"


    This Lin Tian, he had thought that he was sensible just a moment ago and knew when to advance and when to retreat, but now in the blink of an eye, how did he become so stupid? If it was a challenge, Hu Yuancheng would have thought that he was brave enough to be praised, but now, Lin Tian had said that he wanted to challenge three people, that wasn''t courage, but stupidity!


    But Lin Tian shook his head. His eyes met Luo Chen and a hint of madness flashed through his eyes: "No, what I mean is, I''m going to fight all three of them by myself!"


    When he said this, the crowd became even more excited. This Lin Tian really did not care for his life. For a single Jiang Ru Xue, taking revenge was not such a method. Did he really think that his strength could challenge three 6th layer Qi Cultivating Stage existences?


    Did he think he was invincible?


    A few seniors who were not optimistic about Lin Tian immediately began mocking him.


    The other students looked at Lin Tian with faces full of pity.


    It seemed like Lin Tian had indeed been provoked by Jiang Ru Xue quite a bit. Right now, he was actually muddle-headed and wanted to challenge the three great young masters by himself.


    Just now, he deliberately asked Lin Tian if he wanted to challenge the three of them one by one, because he wanted to give Lin Tian a way out. Hu Yuancheng was also angry, but just now, he deliberately asked Lin Tian if he wanted to challenge the three of them one by one, so he wanted to give Lin Tian a way out.


    Hu Yuancheng angrily said to Lin Tian Dao: "Lin Tian, you have to think carefully, this is not child''s play, you have to take responsibility for your words!"


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and nodded: "Instructor Hu, don''t worry. I know what I am doing."


    Hu Yuancheng was even more anxious. Alright, you brat, you must be determined to die, right? Then I don''t need to care about you. He turned his gaze towards Xiao Yunhai, and discovered that the dean''s gaze was not anxious, but instead ¡­


    Expectation?


    That''s right, he was looking forward to the battle between Lin Tian and the three great young masters!


    Hu Yuancheng was even more speechless: "The Principal ate the wrong medicine. This Lin Tian is his favorite disciple, but he has already lost his head. The Principal is still looking forward to Lin Tian''s death as if nothing had happened?"


    Hu Yuancheng didn''t know that Lin Tian had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage, so he naturally wouldn''t understand Xiao Yunhai''s thoughts.


    However, since the dean had no objections, if he were to continue on like this, others would probably have an objection.


    Hu Yuancheng did not care anymore. He turned to Luo Chen and the other two and said, "He wants to challenge three people by himself. As the one being challenged, you guys have no other choice. You three can fight him together."


    At this time, Luo Chen also clearly heard what Lin Tian had just said. This little bastard actually wanted to challenge the three of them by himself?


    This truly caused Luo Chen to open his eyes. Could it be that this little b * stard had really lost his mind and came to throw away his life?


    But since that was the case, Luo Chen didn''t mind crippling him once more!


    Just when he was about to say something, Zhao Ba, who was beside him, spoke up first: "Little bastard, don''t think that you''re unrivalled just because you''ve obtained some good fortune, the last time you were caught unprepared, today, I''m afraid that you won''t have that much luck, you don''t need to worry about the three of us, I alone will take care of you, today, I''ll let you see the power of a 6th layer Qi Cultivating Stage disciple, you can''t provoke them!"


    As Zhao Ba spoke, he walked down the stage towards the stage.


    Lin Tian also directly walked onto the martial stage. Shaking his head, he faced Zhao Badao: "You alone, crushing you is meaningless. Luo Chen, Li Tianhai, come down. I will make you kneel in front of me and beg for death!"


    Zhao Ba''s face turned pale, "You little b * stard, I f * cking gave you face!"


    "Sky Tyrant Palm!" Zhao Ba did not waste time speaking and directly used his family''s rank 2 martial arts. Its power was extremely strong and the surging Essence gathered into a huge hand seal that instantly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian smiled as he watched Zhao Ba''s palm strike come at him. However, he didn''t dodge and instead welcomed it.


    "Is he crazy?! He''s not dodging this palm!" Someone in the audience exclaimed.


    Lin Tian''s actions were completely unimaginable. Everyone thought that Lin Tian had gone crazy!


    Zhao Ba was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately became ecstatic. This kid probably didn''t know how powerful his palm strike was, yet he didn''t dodge and still dared to charge forward. If you want to die, then I''ll grant your wish!


    The Essence in Zhao Ba''s body increased once again as he crazily poured the Essence into his palm.


    Lin Tian smiled but didn''t say anything. His speed increased by several times and he directly rushed in front of Zhao Ba. Zhao Ba''s palm landed on Lin Tian''s body, but Lin Tian had already charged into Zhao Ba''s body.


    "Boom boom!" A loud noise was heard, and a figure flew out.


    The next moment, kacha, kacha, the sound of bones breaking came from the person that was sent flying.


    "Ai, I already said that Lin Tian is seeking death. Now, with this palm, even if Lin Tian doesn''t die he will become crippled." One of the people in the audience shook his head and sighed.


    The rest of the people also sighed. Why was Lin Tian acting like a boor and taking the initiative to send himself to his death?


    However, just at this moment, the person that was sent flying let out a sudden wail.


    Everyone was startled, that voice was not Lin Tian''s!


    Then, the person that was just sent flying?


    It was Zhao Ba!


    It was Zhao Ba. At this moment, the crowd just saw Lin Tian''s body perfectly standing on the stage. His back was like a mountain and his long hair fluttered in the wind.


    "Hiss, hiss!" A collective gasp came from the audience.


    On the high platform, with a ''kacha'' sound, Xiao Yunhai also crushed the cup in his hand!

 C13

    "This, this is his strength, this is his confidence?" Xiao Yunhai''s heart surged with waves of shock. No wonder Lin Tian had said that he would challenge the three of them. Was this what he had in mind?


    His speed, his explosive strength, and even his strength, all of this was not something that a human could possess!


    Terrifying, too terrifying.


    The people in the audience were also filled with disbelief, especially the people who didn''t think well of Lin Tian. Right now, they felt their faces burning. This Lin Tian had used his own actions to slap their faces.


    At the beginning, he did not think well of Lin Tian either, but now, it turned out that he was wrong.


    Lin Tian indeed firmly stood on the stage.


    He did not even return the blow. Instead, he used his own body to forcibly block Zhao Ba''s attack. Not only that, his body was so strong that it had severely injured Zhao Ba.


    The body that had been modified by the dragon blood was as hard as iron and impervious to swords and spears. Lin Tian''s body was like a tough steel plate. He directly used his strong body to crush Zhao Ba.


    So what if he was Qi Disciple level 6. It had to be known that Old Devil Yin who was at the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage had died at Lin Tian''s hands, let alone a mere Zhao Ba.


    "I told you to come at me together. You guys didn''t want to. Fine, I''ll just have to spend some time and finish you off one by one. Li Tianhai, get the hell down here. It''s your turn!" Lin Tian stared at Li Tianhai.


    Li Tianhai, on the other hand, started to hesitate.


    His strength was about the same as Zhao Ba''s, who weighed eight pounds. In Lin Tian''s hands, Zhao Ba was an existence that was almost crushed. In that case, he should be about the same.


    Luo Chen''s expression was extremely gloomy. This little bastard had indeed obtained an extraordinary great opportunity. This was also the reason for his current change. His strength had already become several times stronger than before!


    Luo Chen looked at Li Tianhai, who still didn''t dare to go down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn''t you hear that? That little b * stard wants to challenge you, why aren''t you going down and accepting your challenge?"


    Li Tianhai stammered, "Young prince, I ¡­ I am not his match. Look at how well Zhao Ba has been beaten ¡­"


    "Didn''t you understand what I meant when I told you to scram and accept my challenge?" He knew that if he did not go down and accept Lin Tian''s challenge, even if he did not die at Lin Tian''s hands, Luo Chen would not let him go!


    "Little bastard, I''ll kill you!" Li Tianhai didn''t dare to hesitate and immediately rushed down to the stage. He had no other choice but to fight with his life on the line!


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth held a trace of a smile: "Relax, I''m quick to attack. It won''t hurt."


    This time, without waiting for Li Tianhai to make the first move, Lin Tian moved first.


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian''s body had already arrived in front of Li Tianhai. Li Tianhai only saw a blur before his eyes and in the next instant, his body was sent flying.


    "Bam!" Li Tianhai''s body flew through the air in a beautiful arc before heavily crashing into the ground. He felt that his internal organs had all become deformed, the same feeling, the same pain.


    He clearly remembered that the last time he saw Lin Tian, he also had this feeling ¡­ ¡­


    Li Tian once again used his own body to knock Li Tianhai away. Li Tianhai simply didn''t have any strength to fight back. In front of Lin Tian, a sixth level Qi Cultivating Stage child was not even comparable to a chicken.


    Horrifying, terrifying. This was what everyone was thinking. Lin Tian, Lin Tian seemed to have suddenly become a different person. Even the students that normally lived with Lin Tian felt that there was a world of difference between Lin Tian and before.


    Xiao Yunhai blankly watched Lin Tian''s performance. In the beginning, he was only surprised, but now, it had become ecstasy!


    Lin Tian''s current performance was enough for him to enter the Azure Province Academy. Back then, those students of the Azure Province Academy might not have this kind of strength and talent!


    Lin Tian''s gaze finally landed on Luo Chen, he looked at Luo Chen who was sitting on the high platform with an incomparably sinister expression, Lin Tian suddenly started laughing wildly, in the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly shouted: "Luo Chen, get down here and accept your death!"


    Luo Chen''s expression was ferocious and terrifying, he took a deep breath and said, "Little bastard, I can cripple you once, then I can cripple you a second time!" However, today, I will not let myself regret it again. Today, I will step on your head in front of everyone and let everyone know who exactly is the true genius. I, Luo Chen, am the number one genius in Sky Dragon Academy.


    As Luo Chen said this, he already walked down the martial stage: "Today, I''ll personally send you to the west sky!"


    "If you want to fight, just fight. What a load of crap!" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly attacked. The surging Essence Qi instantly gathered in Lin Tian''s hand.


    "Great Destiny Fist, one fist ¡ª Breaking the Heavens and Earth!" Lin Tian''s fist was filled with overflowing anger as it directly rushed towards Luo Chen.


    "Luo Chen, today, I will return all the shame that you placed on me back then!" Lin Tian''s figure was like a dragon as the power of the Great Destiny Fist instantly erupted towards Luo Chen.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" Xiao Yunhai cried out in alarm.


    The other students were stunned as they blankly stared at Xiao Yunhai with disbelief. Principal, what was going on with the principal today?


    "This brat actually obtained the Great Fortune Fist!" Xiao Yunhai let out a long sigh. His face had actually turned a bit flushed from excitement.


    "Looks like this kid has more potential than I imagined. Who knows, I might really be able to leave that matter to this kid ¡­"


    At this time, Luo Chen faced Lin Tian''s killing blow and his face unexpectedly didn''t change at all. As steady as Mt. Tai, he quietly looked at Lin Tian''s fist and then gently said: "You, are only so-so!"


    Luo Chen did not resist and actually wanted to use his own body to block Lin Tian''s fist.


    The power of the punch was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it landed on Luo Chen''s body, but Luo Chen did not retreat at all. The punch exploded and destroyed the clothes covering the upper half of Luo Chen''s body.


    However, Luo Chen was actually wearing a piece of armor!


    The armor was obviously not ordinary. Lin Tian''s fist landed on the armor like a clay ox entering the sea, his entire strength was actually blocked by the armor. Luo Chen was completely unharmed by Lin Tian''s attack.


    However, Luo Chen''s body was currently surging with Essence Qi. In the next moment, Luo Chen''s fist had already arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    "Little bastard, you take one of your punches as well!" Luo Chen roared as he punched out.


    It was a martial art passed down in his family, the Destroyer Hand!


    Wave after wave of terrifying power instantly blasted towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dodge and his body directly blocked Luo Chen''s fist.


    "Hehe, you actually have a tortoise shell. I have overestimated you. However, so what if you have a tortoise shell? You can block a few of my punches!" Lin Tian lightly smiled and once again threw out a punch.


    The fist struck Luo Chen again. Luo Chen had the protection of the treasure armor, so he was not afraid of Lin Tian''s attack, and Lin Tian''s body was extremely strong, so he was not afraid of Luo Chen''s attack.


    The two engaged in close combat and exchanged several punches, but they were actually unable to determine victory or defeat.


    Everyone in the audience was shocked, they had never seen such a competition before. In their eyes, Luo Chen was obviously inferior to Lin Tian, because Luo Chen had a treasure armor, but Lin Tian did not!


    But Lin Tian''s terrifying physical body was able to open everyone''s eyes. This, this was a bit too terrifying ¡­


    It was unknown how many punches the two exchanged, but Luo Chen''s hands were a bit numb, but Lin Tian''s body was completely unharmed, without the slightest injury.


    What was even more terrifying was that Lin Tian was almost like a machine as he tirelessly kept on attacking. Not only that, even his Essence was inexhaustible as if it wouldn''t dry up at all.


    Lin Tian still did not tire of madly attacking. Gathering his strength, punching out, accumulating his strength, and punching out. He repeated this without tiring out.


    What Lin Tian didn''t know was that while he repeatedly punched, the small whirlpool in his dantian was also madly revolving, devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy entered his body and instantly turned into Essence Qi, continuously replenishing Lin Tian''s body.


    After exchanging more than ten punches, the armor on Luo Chen''s body began to tremble.


    Lin Tian laughed loudly and flew backwards, no longer continuing to attack.


    Luo Chen let out a sigh of relief, and mocked: "Little bastard, why aren''t you continuing? Aren''t you very strong? Do you have a time where you can''t hold on?"


    Lin Tian did not reply. Instead, he turned his head towards the nearby Luo Chen and said to the students: "Everyone, listen to my warning. Right now, ignore him and don''t get accidentally hurt ¡­ ¡­"


    Everyone was stunned, but subconsciously, they distanced themselves from Luo Chen. Who knew what these two maniacs were going to do next!


    When Luo Chen saw the inexplicable smile on Lin Tian''s face. He immediately felt that something was wrong and shouted: "Little bastard, what the hell are you doing, I ¡­"


    Lin Tian suddenly wildly roared: "Give it to me, explode!"


    "Boom boom!"


    "Bang bang bang!"


    The sound of an explosion immediately engulfed the entire Martial Stage. Smoke rose up from the stage and a monstrous power fluctuation instantly spread to the surroundings of the Martial Stage.


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth still contained a smile. He thought that since he was wearing a tortoise shell, there was nothing he could do about it.


    Lin Tian had calculated all his strength, he had continuously punched out hundreds of times in the same place, only when Luo Chen''s treasure armor could not take it anymore and started to fiercely tremble, only then did Lin Tian ignite the fist power that was on Luo Chen''s body. Indeed, a hundred punches, one punch was enough to unleash seven hundred strikes of fist power, adding all of which added up to seven hundred dao energies, it was enough to kill a Qi Hai warrior dozens of times, let alone Luo Chen''s one of his treasured armor.

 C14

    Indeed, in the next moment, the smoke dissipated and Lin Tian also saw the disheveled Luo Chen.


    That explosive force was too sudden. Luo Chen did not even have the time to react before he felt an extremely powerful energy was hidden around his body. In that instant, it collided with the energy before exploding.


    The terrifying pressure brought by the monstrous power almost made Luo Chen regret his actions, but luckily, in the end, it was the armor he was wearing that worked, the armor was able to block most of the energy from the explosion, and the remaining part of the power could be neutralized by Luo Chen himself, so although Luo Chen looked to be in a sorry state, he was not injured at all.


    When Xiao Yunhai saw the scene just now, he couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    Lin Tian. Lin Tian had actually truly comprehended the power of the Great Fortune Fist''s fist force. Moreover, he was almost able to successfully cultivate the first move of the Great Fortune Fist.


    This Great Destiny Fist was the martial skill that he had practiced before. Unfortunately, after that incident, he wouldn''t be able to use it again.


    Xiao Yunhai''s complexion had become a bit flushed from his excitement, but now it was a bit gloomy. In his heart, a faint black line appeared at this time, but in the next moment, that black line disappeared again.


    Xiao Yunhai let out a long sigh and muttered: "I wonder if I can hold on until the day Tian''er enters the Azure Province Academy ¡­"


    Luo Chen''s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Lin Tian: "Little bastard, you destroyed my armor, give me your life!"


    Luo Chen rushed crazily at Lin Tian, his body surging with Essence Qi, in an instant he punched in front of Lin Tian: "Today I''ll let you see, the strength of Qi Disciple level 7, is not something a trash like you can compare to, your body is strong so what? In front of absolute strength, you still have to die, however, you can be satisfied, little bastard, I have no choice but to use my trump card, you deserve to die!"


    Luo Chen had broken through to Qi Disciple level 7!


    It turned out that when he was in closed-door training, King Yongan, Luo Lie, had auctioned a top-grade Pei-Yuan Dan Bead from the auction house, which allowed Luo Chen to break through from Stage Five to Stage Seven Qi Disciple in less than half a month of closed-door training.


    However, Luo Chen didn''t directly announce that he had broken through to Qi Disciple level 7 just to hide his strength, but now, he had no choice but to reveal his true strength.


    "Qi Disciple level 7!" Someone below the stage suddenly exclaimed: "Luo Chen had been hiding his power all this while, but he actually broke through to the 7th Stage of Qi Cultivating Stage!"


    "I''m so envious of Qi Disciple level 7. Even the previous seniors did not reach Qi Disciple level 7 at Luo Chen''s age ¡­" Someone said in envy.


    "Isn''t it just having a good father? If your father were King Yongan, you would also be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage!" Someone said in disdain.


    Luo Chen was the only son of King Yongan, and the entire Sky Dragon City was under King Yongan''s control. Since he was young, Luo Chen had enjoyed countless cultivation resources, so it wasn''t surprising that he could break through to Qi Disciple level 7.


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth revealed a smile: "Do you think that since you''ve broken through Qi Disciple level 7, you''re unrivalled. You think that you''re Sky Dragon City''s number one genius and furthermore, you think that you can use your strength to crush me?"


    Lin Tian said this and instead of retreating, his body advanced and met Luo Chen''s palm.


    The two of them shared the limelight and each retreated a step.


    Are you not a great genius of Sky Dragon City, only 15 years old but you have already broken through to the 4th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, breaking my record. But now, you are at most at the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, trash, you are still far from me! Luo Chen''s gaze was vicious as he once again rushed towards Lin Tian.


    "I really don''t know who gave you that confidence." Lin Tian let out a low sigh and then lightly circulated the Essence in his body. The surging Essence Qi instantly erupted and the aura on Lin Tian''s body surged, instantly overtaking Luo Chen.


    Everyone in the audience was stunned. In the next moment, everyone exclaimed.


    "Qi Disciple level 7!"


    "Lin Tian is also at Qi Disciple level 7!"


    The crowd went into an uproar. If Luo Chen was at the 7th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, then the crowd would be jealous and disdainful, but they wouldn''t be surprised. However, since Lin Tian had broken through to the 7th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, everyone could only sigh in admiration!


    In this period of time, it was only a short month. At that time, Lin Tian was only at the 4th Qi Cultivating Stage. He was already known as one of the most talented geniuses in the history of Sky Dragon Academy.


    Because Lin Tian had just turned fifteen this year!


    Although Luo Chen had broken through to Qi Disciple level 7, he was already 17!


    But now, a new record was born. Although Lin Tian was only fifteen years old, Lin Tian was currently at the 7th level of Qi Cultivating Stage!


    That''s right, a fifteen-year-old of the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage, Sky Dragon Academy, no, the most outstanding genius in the history of Sky Dragon City!


    Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, but soon after, his face turned vicious as the muscles on his face violently trembled. He panted heavily as he said, "Little bastard, you are the person I must kill in this life!"


    "Kill!" Luo Chen rushed forward again.


    But Lin Tian dodged while saying indifferently: "What''s wrong, my young prince is angry? "Don''t be angry, my young prince is the best in Tianlong Academy."


    Luo Chen was shocked.


    Lin Tian continued: "The number one idiot."


    "You''re courting death!"


    "That''s right, Luo Chen, look at yourself now, and you still dare to call me trash. I really don''t understand, who gave you such confidence, you''re just trash, a seventeen year old at the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage, and you still shamelessly say that you''re Sky Dragon City''s number one genius, a genius is truly cheap!" Lin Tian did not fight with Luo Chen. Instead, he mocked Luo Chen while dodging.


    Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the anger in Luo Chen''s heart became even more intense. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Lin Tian, but he couldn''t even touch the corner of Lin Tian''s clothes.


    Lin Tian continued to speak: "Young prince, do you especially want to know where Jiang Ru Xue went?"


    The anger on Luo Chen''s face intensified. "Don''t mention that bitch to me!"


    "Yes, you''re right, it''s just a broken shoe, but I quite admire your bearing, young prince. You even want the rest of the broken shoes I play with. I have to say, your taste is truly unique!" Lin Tian''s face filled with a malevolent look.


    "Let me tell you something you don''t know. That broken shoe of Jiang Ru Xue, I ¡­"


    "Shut up!" Luo Chen roared in anger as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    He was both shocked and alarmed. In a short period of time, Lin Tian had broken through to Qi Disciple level 7, and he was angry because Lin Tian had actually said that he was playing with the rest of Jiang Ru Xue''s broken shoes. As expected, that bitch Jiang Ru Xue really did go look for Lin Tian ¡­


    Lin Tian saw that he was almost done, so he stopped and said to Luo Chen indifferently: "Alright, the chat is over. Luo Chen, do you still remember how you treated me back then?"


    Lin Tian''s face immediately surged with a crazy expression. His voice was low and hoarse: "Don''t worry. I will return it to you in full detail. Moreover, a hundred times more!"


    Before he even finished speaking, Lin Tian had already made his move. Great Destiny Fist!


    The fist power was like a dragon and his figure was like a mountain. In the next moment, he arrived in front of Luo Chen.


    Luo Chen did not have enough time to react, he had already been struck down by Lin Tian''s palm, the Great Fortune Fist had already been completely mastered by Lin Tian, even the Old Devil Yin at the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage was not Lin Tian''s opponent, not to mention a seventh level Qi Cultivating Stage Luo Chen.


    Luo Chen was now in a state of shock, he couldn''t even withstand one of Lin Tian''s punches.


    At the same time, Lin Tian softly said: "Explode for me!"


    The power of his fist once again exploded out, crazily ravaging Luo Chen''s body!


    After he retracted his fist, Luo Chen''s body immediately flew off the stage.


    Everyone had a face of disbelief. They were all at the 7th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, but Lin Tian had actually defeated Luo Chen with a single punch!


    What terrifying battle prowess was this?


    Lin Tian lightly stepped on Luo Chen''s chest: "My young prince, are you convinced now?"


    Luo Chen felt as if all his bones had collapsed. He didn''t have any strength left in his body, but he still stared at Lin Tian.


    How could this little bastard suddenly become so strong?


    "It seems like you are not convinced?" Lin Tian smiled as he stepped on Luo Chen''s left arm.


    Gently exerting his strength, a ''kacha'' sound could be heard, and Luo Chen''s pitiful cry sounded out.


    His left arm had already been crippled by Lin Tian.


    Luo Chen looked at his left arm in fear, and said to Lin Tian, "Little bastard, you dared to cripple my left arm. When my father returns, I''ll definitely let him tear you into ten thousand pieces!"


    "You''re still that arrogant second generation Patriarch!" Lin Tian was not affected in the slightest, but he clearly increased his speed.


    "Kacha, kacha, kacha!" Three consecutive sounds.


    Luo Chen''s right arm and two legs had all been crippled by Lin Tian.


    Luo Chen''s face was filled with fear, at this time he was actually somewhat afraid: "Lin Tian, Lin Tian, let me go, I beg you, I will not dare anymore, if you let me go, anything in the Eternal An Royal Palace, you can choose from ¡­ ¡­"


    "I only want your life!" Lin Tian Yuan Spirit gushed out, his palm striking Luo Chen''s chest.


    Luo Chen''s frightened voice sounded again, "My, my meridians, my meridians!"


    "He''s been crippled by me." Lin Tian''s foot once again descended, directly aiming at Luo Chen''s lower abdomen.


    "Crack!" With a twist from Lin Tian, Luo Chen''s Dantian was also immediately destroyed by Lin Tian.


    Luo Chen screamed miserably, the surrounding people all looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. Lin Tian had actually crippled Luo Chen just like that?


    "Young prince, isn''t this scene especially familiar? Do you think you''ve seen it somewhere, or experienced it somewhere? " There were no emotions in Lin Tian''s tone.


    "Lin Tian, I want you to die. I want you to die!" Luo Chen was on the verge of death, and he didn''t even have the strength to speak.


    "Let me die! I''ll wait for you! I''ll see how you''ll make me die!" Lin Tian indifferently replied: "Right, I forgot to tell you, Jiang Ru Xue died. I killed her!"

 C15

    Luo Chen''s eyes glazed over, as if he didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.


    "Do you still remember what I said before?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth slightly curved upwards.


    "I once said that if I, Lin Tian, am lucky enough to survive, I will make you, Luo Chen, and that bitch Jiang Ru Xue pay the price!" Lin Tian''s tone suddenly contained a trace of anger: "This price, isn''t to return what you did to me before. It is, I want to return it a hundred times to you!"


    "I''ve already taken Jiang Ru Xue''s life. Next is your life."


    He knew that he would definitely die today, but the only thing he was unwilling to do was what sort of heaven-defying opportunity did Lin Tian obtain in order to help him restore even his crippled meridians and dantian.


    Why didn''t such an opportunity happen to him, Luo Chen!


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated and was about to directly kill Luo Chen, but from not too far away came a fierce roar: "Lin Tian, stop right now!"


    Lin Tian turned his head to look and Hu Yuancheng''s figure instantly appeared in front of Luo Chen, blocking Lin Tian.


    "Lin Tian, we can''t overdo it, and it''ll be fine as long as it''s enough. After we kill Luo Chen, we won''t be able to explain ourselves." He understood Lin Tian''s feelings, but he had to stand out. Luo Chen''s identity was too special, he could not die, and if he died, the entire Sky Dragon Academy would be in trouble. Of course, the one who would suffer the most would be Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian would definitely be endlessly hunted down by King Yongan. It had to be known, King Yongan only had this one son.


    Hu Yuancheng was also thinking for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian coldly smiled: "Instructor Hu, I advise you to step aside!"


    Hu Yuancheng was startled. He also did not think that Lin Tian would speak to him like this. He also narrowed his eyes: "What if I don''t want to?"


    "Luo Chen is going to die. I''ll kill whoever dares to stop me!" Lin Tian coldly spat out a few words. The small whirlpool in his dantian quickly rotated and the Essence in his body endlessly grew. In an instant, Lin Tian adjusted his condition to its best.


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Hu Yuancheng was also a bit angry. He originally wanted to think for Lin Tian, but Lin Tian actually dared to speak to him in such a manner.


    "Good, your wings have hardened. You actually dare to speak to me like this?" Hu Yuancheng turned his head to look at Xiao Yunhai, but unknowingly, Xiao Yunhai was no longer on the platform.


    No wonder Xiao Yunhai hadn''t intervened earlier, but Hu Yuancheng had no choice but to do so. Luo Chen indeed couldn''t die, once he did, Sky Dragon Academy would bear the brunt of Luo Lie''s anger.


    "Coach Hu wants to stand in front of me?" Lin Tian''s tone was ice-cold. Luo Chen was someone he had to kill. If someone dared to stop him, they had to bear his anger.


    Lin Tian also knew that Hu Yuancheng was a Qi Hai warrior, but Lin Tian didn''t have any fear in his heart. On the contrary, Lin Tian currently felt a wave of excitement.


    "What? You want to make a move on me?" No matter how good-natured Hu Yuansheng was, he could not take it anymore. In front of so many people, this brat had purposely embarrassed himself. If he did not show him some face, he really would not know what it meant to respect his teacher.


    "Sorry." Lin Tian gently started, and in the next moment, the Great Destiny Fist that was filled with endless Essence already crazily flew towards Hu Yuancheng.


    Hu Yuancheng coldly snorted and threw out a punch. The monstrous power instantly shot towards Lin Tian and collided with Lin Tian''s fist.


    The two fists met, and Lin Tian''s fist strength was smashed into smithereens by Hu Yuancheng.


    Not only that, the counterforce from the two fists caused Lin Tian to be forcefully pushed back dozens of steps before he managed to stabilize himself.


    Lin Tian was not angry, but instead happy. Finally, he met a powerful opponent. Ever since Lin Tian transformed his body with dragon blood, in addition to the Great Fortune Fist, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. But Lin Tian never knew where his limits were.


    Before, whether it was Luo Chen who was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage or Old Devil Yin who was at the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, Lin Tian had not reached his limit when he defeated them. But now that Hu Yuancheng had made his move, Lin Tian knew that he had finally met his opponent.


    He should be able to find out where his limit was from Hu Yuancheng.


    Hu Yuancheng was also a bit shocked, he never thought that Lin Tian''s strength would actually be so strong, especially that fist just now. If it was a normal Qi Disciple level 7 existence, they wouldn''t have been able to receive this fist, but Lin Tian was able to take it.


    This inspired Hu Yuancheng''s competitive spirit. In all his years, he had never met such an interesting disciple.


    "Good kid, come and receive another fist from me." Hu Yuancheng didn''t hold back his strength. The might of a Qi Hai warrior was like an avalanche, rushing towards Lin Tian. The Essence in his body surged like a raging river.


    Hu Yuancheng gently threw a punch. It looked simple, but the power behind it could not be underestimated.


    Lin Tian did not dare to underestimate it. The power of the Great Creation Fist gathered in his hand and he also threw out a punch.


    The instant the two enormous forces collided with each other, the fist power suddenly exploded in mid-air, causing energy cyclones to appear one after another. Even the stones under their feet were shattered by the force, revealing a dense layer of cracks.


    Everyone in the audience scattered and retreated. Right now, their shock was indescribable. None of them dared to believe that Lin Tian actually dared to attack Instructor Hu.


    What made them even more unable to believe was that Lin Tian''s strength was not weaker than Instructor Hu''s. This was a bit too terrifying ¡­


    And when the two of them made a move, the principal actually wasn''t here. Xiao Yunhai didn''t know where he had gone to, and they weren''t sure if Xiao Yunhai knew or not about this either.


    In just a short ten breaths of time, the two of them had already exchanged more than ten punches. Hu Yuancheng was confident in his own identity, so he did not use martial arts to fight with Lin Tian, but the more they fought, the more shocked Hu Yuan became. He did not think that he had underestimated this student.


    Whether it was in strength, speed, or martial arts, Lin Tian did not lose to him. However, one must know that he was a Qi Hai warrior and Lin Tian was only at Qi Disciple level 7 ¡­


    Not to mention that the gap between every stage of the Qi Disciple stage was as wide as a gap. Just the gap between the Qi Hai stage and the Qi Hai stage was something that no treasure could make up for, but Lin Tian did not know how to cultivate. A Qi Disciple level 7 was actually able to compete with him in a short period of time.


    That was more or less enough to make Hu Yuancheng feel embarrassed. Hu Yuancheng did not hold back and shouted, "Xinghai Wuji!"


    The torrential Essence Qi instantly surged out from his body. Then, in the sky, the Essence Qi completely dispersed, turning into streaks of starlight that sprinkled all over Lin Tian.


    This was one of Hu Yuancheng''s famous martial arts, the Boundless Star Sea. It was said that it could transform elemental energy into stars and converge into a river, which was extremely powerful in attack, but it was not a killing move. From this, it could be seen that Hu Yuancheng had held back.


    Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with splendor as he muttered to himself: "Is this the true strength of a Qi Hai warrior?"


    Lin Tian knew that this was Hu Yuancheng''s real combat power.


    "Let me see just how powerful my current body is!" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly rushed forward.


    "Kid, are you crazy?" Hu Yuancheng also did not think that Lin Tian would actually choose to fight against this move of his. His Boundless Star Sea was not a killing move, but it was absolutely terrifying and was not something Lin Tian could block.


    The others also looked at Lin Tian with faces full of disbelief. Lin Tian was truly courting death. He actually wanted to use his own body to block Instructor Hu''s attack?


    Did he really swell? Did he think that he would be invincible after defeating Luo Chen?


    But something strange happened. Hu Yuancheng''s move landed on Lin Tian''s body, unexpectedly producing a sound like metal colliding.


    When the streams of Essence turned into stars that fell onto Lin Tian''s body, it actually sent power flying in all directions and did not harm Lin Tian. On the other hand, Lin Tian completely relied on his own physical strength to completely dissolve the strands of Essence.


    When the crowd saw the scene in front of them, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This, this Lin Tian''s physical body was a bit too strong.


    The terrifying part of Lin Tian''s body was now completely revealed, causing Hu Yuancheng to be stunned. He clearly did not think that Lin Tian''s body would be so strong, but at the same time, Lin Tian''s fist was already flying towards him.


    The monstrous fist power mixed with the force of the Great Destiny Fist instantly went through Hu Yuancheng and headed straight for Luo Chen.


    Only now did Hu Yuancheng realize that something was wrong, but it was already too late.


    The force of the punch had already landed on Luo Chen''s body.


    Luo Chen''s body trembled slightly. He had just been severely injured, so he naturally could not take Lin Tian''s attack. After this punch, there was no longer any trace of life on Luo Chen''s body.


    At this moment, Hu Yuancheng''s face was filled with fear as he looked at Lin Tian. His heart surged with monstrous waves: "Not only is this child''s physical body incomparably strong, his future accomplishments will definitely not be any weaker than others."


    He had deliberately used his own body to block his attack in order to attract Hu Yuancheng''s attention. Once Hu Yuancheng''s attention was completely focused on him, Lin Tian would naturally have the opportunity to attack Luo Chen.


    But this was still not enough. When Lin Tian''s figure landed on the martial stage, Lin Tian suddenly said indifferently: "Explode!"


    "Bam!" Explosions suddenly rang out. Everyone was stunned for a moment before they discovered that Luo Chen''s body had suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of blood and flesh in an instant.


    Everyone had witnessed this scene and Luo Chen''s body instantly turned into a rain of blood.


    Some of them could not take it any longer and almost vomited while covering their mouths.


    Only Lin Tian''s mouth still had a smile on it: "I said I would return it a hundred times back to you, but when I say it I will do it."


    However, right at this moment, within the memorial hall of the Yongan Mansion, a tablet suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces.


    At the same time, an old man who was guarding the ancestral hall suddenly shouted, "Quickly send a message to the king, tell him to return in time, the young prince has been killed!"

 C16

    Hu Yuancheng also didn''t think that in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had killed Luo Chen. Even Hu Yuancheng didn''t have time to save him, as Luo Chen had already been turned into a pile of meat paste.


    Hu Yuancheng looked at the smiling Lin Tian and couldn''t help but sigh: "Brat, you''ve stirred up a disaster ¡­"


    Lin Tian naturally knew what Hu Yuancheng meant. Luo Lie was the only son of Sky Dragon City''s King Yongan, Luo Chen. Now that Luo Chen had been killed by Lin Tian, Luo Lie naturally wouldn''t let this matter rest.


    He had already inquired about it before, and it just so happened that at the end of the year, Luo Lie went to the capital of Tian Luo Kingdom to report on his year in Sky Dragon City.


    By the time Luo Lie returned, Lin Tian had already passed the cultivation in the Source Spirit Pool, his strength would definitely progress further, and he would still have the strength to protect himself. If there was no problem with self-preservation, Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t be afraid of Luo Lie, he would just bring Uncle Yu along to hide in the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain for a while.


    As for Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian also knew that once Luo Lie couldn''t find Lin Tian, he would definitely come and cause trouble for Sky Dragon Academy. But his own master, Xiao Yunhai, was a ninth level Golden Core Realm expert and was the number one expert in the entire Sky Dragon City.


    On the way back, Lin Tian had already made up his mind to kill Lin Tian. Naturally, he could not let him go. Of course, Lin Tian had also thought of the consequences of all this.


    At this moment, Xiao Yunhai also suddenly walked out from nowhere.


    Xiao Yunhai directly walked in front of Lin Tian and said: "Tian''er, come with me."


    Finished speaking, he walked over to Hu Yuancheng''s side and whispered a few words to him. Hu Yuancheng nodded, and Xiao Yunhai directly brought Lin Tian away.


    After the two of them left, Hu Yuancheng said to the crowd, "Because just now, three of the top three students in the group competition died, and two were severely injured, so now, we have to re-select the three spots to enter the Source Spirit Pool. One spot is already Lin Tian''s, but the remaining two places will be chosen from the other students present."


    Xiao Yunhai directly brought Lin Tian to his room.


    "Master, I just killed Luo Chen. You probably saw it too." Although Xiao Yunhai was not there just now, Lin TianAo knew that he was definitely watching Lin Tian''s movements from somewhere. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to not be there when Lin Tian was about to make a move on Luo Chen.


    The reason Xiao Yunhai left was to support Lin Tian in his revenge. Otherwise, if he was here, Hu Yuancheng would definitely let him suppress Lin Tian.


    If Xiao Yunhai really did appear to suppress Lin Tian, then Lin Tian would have to consider it. But since Xiao Yunhai was not here, then Lin Tian did not have any concerns. He could just kill him as he pleased and directly kill Luo Chen.


    "Yes." Xiao Yunhai indifferently nodded: "I''ve always been watching you from the shadows, but your strength has greatly increased. Tell me, what exactly happened back then?"


    Lin Tian then explained everything to Xiao Yunhai in detail, including how Jiang Ru Xue had betrayed him and how Luo Chen had told him.


    Xiao Yunhai''s gaze was dark and fierce: "That bastard Luo Chen, actually took advantage of me while I was in closed-door training to do such a evil scheme against you. It seems that after all these years of not making a move, Luo Lie has truly seen me as a sick cat!"


    Lin Tian was stunned. He asked with some doubt: "Master, from what you''re saying, could it be that Luo Chen already planned to kill me?"


    "That''s right, that''s right!" Xiao Yunhai replied.


    "To deal with you?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Of course not. As someone who is on the verge of death, Luo Lie would not waste such a scheming method to deal with me." Xiao Yunhai shook his head, then said: "They are doing it for the Azure Province Academy''s quota."


    "Azure Province Academy''s quota?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but in the next moment, he seemed to have thought of something.


    Xiao Yunhai had Lin Tian sit down and then said: "That''s right, the reason I called you here today was also for this matter."


    "You know that I was a teacher in the Azure Province before, right?" Xiao Yunhai lightly asked.


    "Naturally." Lin Tian replied as memories of the Azure Province Academy surfaced in his mind.


    The Azure Province Institute, also known as the Greencloud Institute, was the martial arts sacred ground of the Azure Province.


    Tian Luo Country had a total of ten prefectures, and under each prefecture, there were almost a hundred or even more than a thousand cities.


    Qingzhou was one of the top cities in the Tian Luo Country. There were over a thousand cities under it.


    Tian Luo Country''s martial arts were flourishing. In almost every city, there was an academy that taught martial arts.


    Because it was located in the Azure Province, it was also known as the Azure Province Academy. Actually, whatever its name was, it didn''t matter, because the Clear Cloud Academy was a top power in the Azure Province, or even in the entire Tian Luo Country.


    At the end of every year, the Azure Province Academy would choose the martial arts geniuses from the various cities and enter the Azure Province to cultivate.


    Every year, it would attract countless geniuses to join the Azure Province School. The number of experts were as numerous as the clouds, and cultivation resources were inexhaustible. Ancient books, martial arts, magical treasures, medicinal pellets, and even some rare heavenly materials would appear within the school.


    Not only that, after entering the Azure Province Academy, he would be like a fish leaping over a dragon''s gate. Once he was chosen by the Azure Province Academy, as long as his talent was not bad, he would be able to achieve good results in the future on the path of martial arts.


    It was also because of this that every year, countless students wanted to enter the Azure Province Academy, but there were too many monks and porridge, and too many people wanted to enter. However, it was impossible for the Azure Province Academy to recruit many students, so when the Azure Province Academy came to the other academies to recruit students, it would always set off a bloody scene.


    Actually, logically speaking, for a small city like Sky Dragon City, it shouldn''t even be listed in the Azure Dragon School, let alone the Sky Dragon Academy. For a place like the Azure Dragon School, no matter how you looked at it, it wouldn''t be the Sky Dragon Academy''s turn.


    However, every year, the Azure Province Academy would come to Sky Dragon Academy to recruit a student, and every year was no exception.


    The reason was very simple. With Xiao Yunhai around, Xiao Yunhai had previously been the top genius of Sky Dragon City. Afterwards, he had entered the Azure Province Academy to cultivate in the Martial Dao.


    Later on, it was said that Xiao Yunhai had become a teacher and even a deacon or something like that. But later on, for some reason, Xiao Yunhai left the Qingzhou Academy and returned to the Sky Dragon Academy.


    Now that he heard Xiao Yunhai suddenly mention this matter, Lin Tian vaguely understood something, but he couldn''t help but ask: "Master''s meaning is, this time Luo Chen attacked me because of the Azure Province school quota?"


    You should know that at the end of every year, the people from the Azure Province would come to the Sky Dragon Academy to find me and ask me to recommend a student to enter the Azure Province Academy to train in martial arts. This year is no exception, but before I went into seclusion, Luo Lie and Luo Chen, the father and son, had already found me. Xiao Yunhai seemed to have sunk into his memories.


    "At that time, I did not directly refuse. I only said that at that time, we still need to see the intentions of the people from the Azure Province." Xiao Yunhai explained after he finished speaking: "The minimum requirement to enter the Azure Province Academy is to be at the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage. This is already the preferential treatment for our Sky Dragon Academy, you must know, in the academies of other cities, under the Qi Hai realm, the Azure Province Academy would never even consider ¡­"


    So at that time, I thought, your strength was only at Qi Disciple level 4. Even if your talent is good, you couldn''t break through to Qi Disciple level 7 in a short month, but if you didn''t recommend it, then you would have wasted a chance. With Luo Chen''s strength at that time, breaking through to Qi Disciple level 7 in a short time is not a problem, so I didn''t give them a clear answer. As Xiao Yunhai spoke to here, he sighed: "I didn''t expect that it was precisely because of this matter that you were brought into trouble!


    Luo Chen and Luo Lie naturally believed that the reason Xiao Yunhai had left this spot was for Lin Tian. Lin Tian still understood the logic of ''a man without sin, carrying a treasure is a sin''.


    That was why Luo Chen had used Jiang Ru Xue to cripple him, and even almost killed him. The main reason was because of this position, and if Lin Tian Zhen had died at that time, the entry would naturally have belonged to Luo Chen.


    "What a good plan!" Previously, he had really thought that Luo Chen crippled him because of Jiang Ru Xue, but now that he thought about it, regardless of whether Jiang Ru Xue appeared or not, Luo Chen would find an excuse to cripple Lin Tian.


    "So just now when you wanted to kill Luo Chen, not only did I not stop you, I also supported you. This is called returning the favor!" Xiao Yunhai''s expression was calm, but his tone was filled with appreciation for Lin Tian.


    "Master, if you say it like that, then the quota to enter the Azure Province Academy this time will be given to me." Currently in the entire Sky Dragon Academy, he was the only one who had broken through to the 7th level of Qi Cultivating Stage. The only one who met the requirements was him.


    "Of course, but before that, I have something more important to tell you." Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but say.


    "Please speak, Master."


    "The phantom of the dragon gate!" Xiao Yunhai faintly spat out these four words.


    "The shadow of the dragon gate?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment. This sounded very strange: "Master, what is a Dragon Gate phantom?"


    "There is a treasure hidden in the Green Cliff Mountain!" Xiao Yunhai''s words were astonishing.


    But Lin Tian''s eyes suddenly flickered.


    The Green Cliff Mountain was actually in the Green Cliff Mountain!


    Treasure, Green Cliff Mountain. With this connection, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something.


    At that time, when he killed Old Devil Yin, Old Devil Yin had also told him that there were treasures or ancient places in the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain. Could it be that his master and Old Devil Yin were talking about the same place?


    It had to be known that he had obtained the metal tablet that Old Devil Yin had given him. If Xiao Yunhai and Old Devil Yin talked about the same place, then for him, this was a heavenly great opportunity!

 C17

    However, although Lin Tian''s heart was raging, on the surface, he didn''t reveal it.


    It wasn''t that he wasn''t willing to tell Xiao Yunhai, but Lin Tian was also unsure if that metal tablet was actually related to the Dragon Gate illusion that Xiao Yunhai had mentioned.


    Xiao Yunhai seemed to not have discovered Lin Tian''s abnormality, and continued: "The so-called illusory dragon gate, honestly speaking, I don''t really understand what exactly it is, but it should be related to some kind of treasure. Before I came to the Sky Dragon Academy, I heard that the king of Tian Luo Kingdom had already sent someone to investigate, but I only discovered some movement in the Green Cliff Mountains a long time ago.


    "However, in the recent years, the strange movements within the Green Cliff Mountain have become more frequent. Moreover, they even revealed a trace of clues, which allowed them to be certain that the illusory image of a dragon gate has appeared here."


    "Master, what exactly is the shadow of the dragon gate?" Lin Tian was still somewhat puzzled as he asked.


    "The so-called ''fish leaping over the dragon gate,'' transforming into a dragon. The dragon gate was said to be the last resort left by the dragon clan for those human beings who could transform into a dragon." Xiao Yunhai faintly said: "But these are just legends, I don''t know what the appearance of the shadow of the dragon gate actually means, but once it appears, at least it means that a treasure has appeared. So this time, the shadow of the dragon gate has attracted countless experts to explore it."


    Xiao Yunhai clearly didn''t know much about this, and so he wasn''t too clear about it.


    "Master, what do you mean?" Lin Tian didn''t know why Xiao Yunhai would tell him this.


    You have already broken through to the 7th level of Qi Cultivating Stage and have already reached the requirements of the Azure Province Academy. This time, as long as someone from the Azure Province Academy comes, I will recommend you to enter the Azure Province Academy, but with your current strength, you can be considered a top genius in the Sky Dragon City. But in the Azure Province Academy, there is still a gap between you and those top geniuses. Xiao Yunhai revealed his purpose: "Of course, if you don''t have any treasures, you don''t need to be discouraged. In the future, the path of martial arts will depend on you."


    "Eh?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised, but he immediately felt moved in his heart. He didn''t think that Xiao Yunhai would still keep thinking for him, even dragging him along to the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain to search for treasures ¡­


    In this world, perhaps the only people who cared about him were Uncle Yu and Xiao Yunhai.


    Lin Tian felt his eyes turn red: "Master, don''t worry, I will definitely find a way to treat you ¡­ ¡­"


    Xiao Yunhai had actually suffered a very serious internal injury. This was also the reason why Xiao Yunhai had fallen from being a teacher of the Azure Province Academy to become the principal of the Sky Dragon Academy.


    However, no matter how Lin Tian asked, Xiao Yunhai never told him how his injuries had ended.


    "Right, Tian, you said that Luo Chen crippled your meridian and Dantian, then how did you recover it?" Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but ask.


    This concerned his family and life. Besides himself, he absolutely could not let another person know about it, even if it was Xiao Yunhai or Uncle Yu.


    However, Lin Tian had already thought of an excuse. He said that after falling down the cliff, he did not die, but landed on a huge stone platform. On the stone platform''s cliff face, there was a golden fruit.


    He directly swallowed the fruit, and then slept. He discovered that his meridians and dantian had actually recovered, and not only that, his body also seemed to have been remodeled, which was why it had undergone such a huge change. His physical strength had also become exceptionally strong.


    When Lin Tian said this, his voice was full of emotion. Xiao Yunhai did not suspect anything, and after carefully asking Lin Tian what that golden fruit looked like, Xiao Yunhai fell into deep thought.


    Xiao Yunhai did not know what the golden fruit that Lin Tian had mentioned was, but could it be some sort of heavenly treasure that was growing on the stone platform below the cliff?


    When Xiao Yunhai thought of this, he felt that this was the most likely scenario. With his meridians and dantian destroyed, only medicinal ingredients like heavenly and earthly treasures would be able to restore Lin Tian''s body.


    "Good boy, you''ve actually obtained such an opportunity. It seems that Luo Chen has disguised himself and helped you ¡­" As he coughed, Lin Tian clearly saw a black Qi flash across Xiao Yunhai''s forehead. If it was before, Lin Tian would definitely not have been able to discover it, but now, his body had undergone a transformation from the dragon blood and was completely different from before. He instantly felt that black Qi, but that aura was very terrifying, and it actually caused Lin Tian to feel a sense of palpitation.


    Xiao Yunhai waved his hand, and then said: "Alright, I have already finished giving you the things that you need to give me, so I will not keep you any longer. You will go and have a good night''s rest, and tomorrow, I will bring you to the Source Spirit Pool and give you a chance to cultivate there."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and turned to leave.


    But just as Lin Tian walked out of Xiao Yunhai''s room, in his sea of consciousness, Hornless'' voice suddenly rang out: "It''s actually Death Qi? This master of yours, did he offend some great power? "


    Lin Tian was slightly shocked in his heart, but he quickly regained his senses. He couldn''t help but complain to the Horned Demon: "Next time you speak, can you tell me in advance. If this goes on, I''ll be scared to death by you sooner or later ¡­ ¡­"


    However, he frowned and asked again, "You also saw that black fog on my master''s forehead?"


    "That''s an aura of death, not a black aura, boy." Horned Demon indifferently replied, "This kind of death aura is not common. That''s why I''m asking you, has your master offended any big power?"


    "I don''t know either. Master never talks to me about these things, and Master often goes into closed door cultivation. But since you recognize this, then do you know of any way to cure it?" Lin Tian replied.


    I can, but with your current strength, I can''t. I''m just a dragon soul body and it''s very weak, so I can''t do it either. If you want to save him, you have to at least reach the Qi Hai level. Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "As long as it can be treated, I don''t want to see Master like this forever ¡­" Lin Tian shook his head and turned around to return to his own dormitory.


    He did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on his bed, meditating on his fight with Hu Yuancheng that day.


    Hu Yuan Cheng was a true Qi Hai warrior, so when Lin Tian fought with such an expert, not only did he stimulate his potential, but when he fought with Hu Yuan, Lin Tian also felt that his Great Manifestation Fist was improving.


    This was the time for him to take stock of his combat experience during the day and digest it.


    After a sleepless night, Lin Tian discovered that although he didn''t sleep, after cultivating, his body was a hundred times more energetic than before. Presumably, the dragon blood had shown its effects, which was why Lin Tian didn''t feel tired at all.


    Because for the entire night, Lin Tian felt that within the small whirlpool in his dantian, waves of heat unceasingly surged and nourished his entire body.


    Lin Tian did not delay any longer and directly hurried towards the Source Spirit Pool.


    The Source Spirit Pool was a spiritual energy pool. In the backyard of Tianlong Academy, it was a forbidden area of Tianlong Academy. Without permission, no one was allowed to enter.


    At this moment, Instructor Hu and the other two students were already waiting in front of the Source Spirit Pool. Upon seeing Lin Tian arrive, Hu Yuechan said: "Alright, everyone be prepared, after I open the Source Spirit Pool, you all go down, remember, do not be greedy, when the Essence in your body is saturated, you all must come out in time. Otherwise, if you all are unable to absorb too much spiritual energy, you will be unable to cultivate.


    "Understood." The three of them replied.


    Lin Tian swept his eyes over the other two people who had entered the Source Spirit Pool quota. These two were fifth level Qi Cultivating Stage existences and were considered rather famous in the Sky Dragon Academy. The two of them were also disciples from the commoner district and normally had a pretty good relationship with Lin Tian.


    The two of them felt extremely grateful towards Lin Tian. It had to be known that if Lin Tian had not singlehandedly killed one of the three great young masters and heavily injured the other two, they would not even need to think about entering the Source Spirit Pool. However, Lin Tian''s crippling of the three great young masters yesterday had given them a chance.


    Thus, when the two of them saw Lin Tian, they were extremely respectful.


    At the same time, Hu Yuancheng''s voice suddenly rang out, "The Source Spirit Pool has been opened. You can all go down now."


    The three of them were not willing to waste any time as they headed straight for the Source Spirit Pool.


    The Primordial Spirit Pool was a not too big or small stone pool. It was filled with clear water, but that water was not ordinary water. It was a spiritual liquid that was condensed from the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to a certain degree.


    The Source Spirit Pool was probably protected by a formation and normally would not show any spirit energy. It was just like an ordinary pond.


    However, after opening it, white mist immediately rose up from the Source Spirit Pool. This white mist was spirit energy.


    Lin Tian''s heart was also greatly shocked. This was the first time he had entered this Source Spirit Pool, and the spirit energy here was simply inconceivable.


    The three of them were unwilling to waste any time as they sat down cross-legged to cultivate, frantically devouring the spiritual energy within the Yuan Spirit Pool.


    Lin Tian also sat down with his legs crossed. Just as he sat down, he felt an endless amount of spiritual energy rushing towards him like a tide in an instant.


    Lin Tian silently circulated the meridians in his body and began to devour the surrounding spiritual energy.


    Spiritual Qi roiled as it crazily entered Lin Tian''s body, turning into Essence Qi and storing it in his dantian''s small whirlpool.

 C18

    Pure spiritual energy endlessly rushed to Lin Tian. Lin Tian did not refuse it and one by one, they swallowed their own bodies.


    The terrifying part of Lin Tian''s body that had been transformed by the dragon blood was now completely revealed.


    He only had one meridian, but this meridian connected to his entire body. Not only that, the meridian that belonged to the dragon race was much larger than normal people''s, and because of that, Lin Tian''s rate of absorbing spiritual energy was several times faster than the other two.


    The most terrifying part was Lin Tian''s Swirling Dantian.


    The terrifying part of the whirlpool dantian was completely showing its power now. Lin Tian''s whirlpool dantian was like a huge bottomless pit, swallowing, swallowing, or even swallowing.


    Lin Tian''s powerful devouring ability had also alarmed the other two students who had also entered the Source Spirit Pool.


    The two of them could feel the Spiritual Qi around them rapidly decreasing. Their hearts trembled as they started to madly circulate their meridians, continuously devouring the Spiritual Qi around them.


    After an unknown amount of time, the two opened their eyes first, but the scene in front of them completely stunned them. The surroundings of Lin Tian surged with monstrous spiritual energy, and that spiritual energy quickly turned into strands of energy that poured into Lin Tian''s body.


    This, this Lin Tian is a freak!


    But without waiting for the two of them to come back to their senses, the spiritual energy around Lin Tian started to rise and the liquid turned back into spiritual energy before once again entering Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian was like a whirlpool that was not full as he continuously devoured the spirit energy in the Source Spirit Pool.


    The spiritual qi in the pool had actually decreased quite a bit.


    The two of them were both shocked and envious. The spiritual energy they had absorbed had already reached its saturation point. Even if they stayed in the Source Spirit Pool for another day, it would be useless. Their bodies could no longer withstand even more spiritual energy.


    The two unwillingly withdrew their gazes. They wished that they were the ones that could devour this spiritual energy.


    Unfortunately, it wasn''t.


    They walked out of the Source Spirit Pool. At this moment, Hu Yuancheng was outside of it, resting with his eyes closed.


    "How does it feel to be saturated?" Hu Yuancheng asked.


    "Instructor, after this round of tempering in the Source Spirit Pool, the Yuan Qi in our bodies has increased by several times. I estimate that before long, we will be able to break through to Qi Disciple level 6." The two answered respectfully.


    "Not bad. Go back and train well. This kind of opportunity is not something that anyone can have." Hu Yuancheng said and motioned for the two to leave.


    But just as the two were about to leave, Hu Yuancheng asked again: "How is Lin Tian inside?"


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin is still cultivating inside. I bet the spirit energy he absorbed hasn''t saturated yet." A person replied.


    Hu Yuancheng nodded and continued to meditate.


    At this moment, the amount of spirit liquid in the spirit pond had almost decreased by half.


    The enormous amount of spiritual energy entered Lin Tian''s body and quickly turned into Essence Qi, hiding within Lin Tian''s body.


    Not long after, a "kacha, kacha" sound came from Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian abruptly opened his eyes: "Qi Disciple level 8!" "I''ve finally broken through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage!"


    Before Lin Tian broke through, he needed to continuously fight and crazily consume the Essence in his body. Afterwards, he crazily cultivated, swallowed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and after a long and arduous cultivation, he was able to break through.


    Afterwards, his breakthrough speed became a bit faster, but it was also with the help of the Old Devil Yin''s pills. In addition, with Lin Tian''s almost masochistic cultivation, he was able to speed up his breakthrough speed.


    But this was the first time that Lin Tian had effortlessly broken through.


    Lin Tian''s heart was overjoyed. Seeing the spirit liquid in the Source Spirit Pool, his eyes couldn''t help but light up.


    These were all good things.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and continued to crazily circulate the meridians in his body. He once again began to crazily devour the surrounding spiritual energy.


    Time passed minute by minute.


    Hu Yuancheng, who was waiting outside, could not help but open his eyes, "Why hasn''t this kid come out yet?" Don''t you know that it''s useless to overdo it? So what if you''ve swallowed too much spiritual qi? It''s impossible to digest it. If you''re not greedy enough, your body might even explode! "


    However, Hu Yuancheng did not plan to interfere since this was the rule of the Source Spirit Pool. As long as he did not come out of it, no one had the right to interfere and let him out. Hu Yuancheng closed his eyes again.


    But he didn''t know how much time had passed, but Lin Tian once again opened his eyes. It wasn''t because he broke through again, but because he felt the surrounding spiritual energy was rapidly decreasing.


    "What''s going on? How come the spirit energy in the Source Spirit Pool is decreasing so much?" Lin Tian opened his eyes. There was only half a pool of spirit liquid left in the Source Spirit Pool.


    In less than half a day''s time, Lin Tian had actually devoured more than half of the power within the entire Source Spirit Pool.


    However, he didn''t know that there was still half of the spirit liquid left in the spirit pond today. However, he didn''t know why the spirit energy in the surroundings had fallen so drastically.


    He no longer felt as if he had just entered the Yuan Spirit Pool.


    Lin Tian had already broken through to Qi Disciple level 8, but from Qi Disciple level 9, he was still lacking a lot of spiritual energy. Lin Tian wasn''t willing to leave just like that because the Source Spirit Pool was such a good resource.


    "Brat, don''t think too much. The spirit liquid in this Source Spirit Pool has been accumulating for too long. Many of it has already lost its spirit energy, and now it has become ordinary water instead of spirit liquid." At this moment, Hornless'' voice suddenly rang out.


    "Then what should we do?" After all, such an opportunity was too rare. From the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Qi Hai realm, the most important thing was to open up the Qi Sea, Qi Sea, Qi Sea, and, as the name implied, the Essence Sea in the dantian.


    In other words, the purpose of Qi Disciple stage was to sense and store the Yuan Qi, and the Qi Sea realm could store and store the Yuan Qi, filling the Dantian with the Yuan Qi and providing the warriors with an unending flow of power. Once they reached the Qi Sea realm, they could freely use the power in their Qi Sea.


    It was because of this that he had reached the Qi Hai realm.


    Hu Yuan had reached the Qi Hai realm, so when Lin Tian fought with him, he had already noticed that Hu Yuancheng was almost filled with spiritual energy, so he did not have to worry about the depletion of his spiritual energy.


    However, breaking through to the Qi Hai realm required a large amount of Sky and Earth spiritual energy, and most people could not do it without years of hard work. Even with pills, herbs, and pills, it was impossible to break through to the Qi Hai realm without a year of hard work.


    Lin Tian did not have that many resources, nor did he want to wait so long. Right now, he urgently needed to improve his own strength. After all, he still had a powerful enemy at his disposal, the Yongan King, Luo Lie!


    He had killed Luo Lie''s only son, so Luo Lie would definitely find him for revenge. The most important thing for him to do now was to improve his own strength as soon as possible, and Horned Demon had also said that only by reaching the Qi Hai realm, would he be able to establish the Divine Manor and help heal his master, Xiao Yunhai.


    Right now, the Source Spirit Pool was definitely an opportunity. With such a huge opportunity in front of him, Lin Tian naturally would not give it up.


    After hesitating for a moment, Horned Demon said, "Boy, I feel a trace of the smell of a spirit vein. Lend me some strength, I will examine it.


    When Lin Tian heard that the Horned Demon wanted to borrow his strength, he immediately felt his scalp tingle. Last time he asked the Horned Demon to help him undo the seal on the Great Fortune Fist, it was only because the Horned Demon borrowed his strength that Lin TianAo took more than ten days to recover.


    But now, he couldn''t care that much. The Horned Demon just borrowed it and lightly tapped it on Lin Tian''s head.


    A tearing feeling immediately came from Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness. Lin Tian felt a wave of dizziness, but the whirlpool in his dantian began to surge. A warm current immediately flowed out, greatly alleviating Lin Tian''s pain and discomfort.


    With the help of Lin Tian''s power, the Horned Demon turned into a white light and instantly drilled into the Source Spirit Pool.


    Lin Tian closed his eyes and continued to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.


    But at this time, Hu Yuancheng''s voice came from the outside: "Lin Tian, if the spiritual energy in your body has already reached the saturation point, then don''t be too greedy. If you bite off more than you can chew, then it will harm your body.


    "Understood, if I finish absorbing it then I will leave. Thank you, Instructor Hu." Lin Tian indifferently replied.


    It was not the time to go out yet.


    After an unknown amount of time, Horned Demon finally returned to Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness.


    "How is it?" Lin Tian impatiently asked.


    "Just as I expected, there''s a damaged spirit vein hidden underneath!" However, although that spirit vein is damaged, it is not of a low rank and should be of a high rank. For you, it is more than enough to help you break through to the Qi Hai realm. " There wasn''t the slightest fluctuation in Horned Demon''s tone. It seemed that a high-grade spirit vein wasn''t much of an attraction to him.


    "High-grade spirit vein?" Lin Tian indeed had some doubts.


    "Do you know why there is a Yuan Spirit Pool here?"


    "I don''t know."


    "Because below this place, there is a high-grade spirit vein." Horned Demon explained, "All of this is because the spirit vein is unceasingly emitting an incomparably vast amount of spirit energy. As the spirit energy accumulated over time, it formed this spirit pond."


    "However, this Yuan Spirit Pool has been formed for too long, so a lot of the spirit liquid has already dissipated. Therefore, if you want to borrow this Yuan Spirit Pool to break through to the Qi Hai level, it is almost impossible. However, if you rely on the broken high grade spirit vein, it is not a problem ¡­" Hornless explained again.


    "Then what are you still standing there for? Dig out that Spiritual Pulse?" Lin Tian Deng became excited, he knew that the spirit vein was the condensed spirit energy crystal from the earth.


    Only then would there be an incomparable amount of spiritual energy in his spiritual vein, and that amount would be enough for him to break through to the Qi Hai realm.

 C19

    Horned Demon rolled his eyes at Lin Tian: "Do you think that you can do it with just one sentence?"


    Lin Tian slightly froze and could not help but ask: "Then what do I need to do?"


    "Give me strength." Horned Demon said indifferently.


    The corner of his mouth also twitched a little. After speaking for half a day, he still needed Lin Tian''s mental strength to give the Horned Demon a support.


    But right now, Lin Tian had no other way. If he wanted to suddenly reach the Qi Hai realm, he would need the support of a high-grade spirit vein, so the current investment was worth it.


    Lin Tian smiled bitterly as he nodded his head: "Then, come then ¡­"


    The feeling of pulling away his mental energy was definitely extremely painful. Lin Tian felt that his mind was completely blank. His legs went soft and he directly fell into the Source Spirit Pool.


    Although the warm current in his body was continuously providing Lin Tian with support, to the spirit energy that left his body, it was like a cup of water being pulled out of a cart of firewood.


    With the support of Lin Tian''s Mental Energy, his current state was not bad. Even his soul body gradually began to solidify.


    The Horned Dragon''s claw gently waved as if it was drawing some kind of incantation. After a long time, a strange rune was immediately emitted from the Horned Dragon''s claw and landed at the bottom of the Source Spirit Pool.


    In the next moment, something strange happened. The Source Spirit Pool suddenly began to boil. Endless amounts of spirit energy suddenly rose up and turned into a long dragon of spirit energy.


    Lin Tian blankly stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    This is?


    But in the next moment, Lin Tian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Not daring to be slow, he began to madly revolve the small whirlpool in his dantian, the small whirlpool in his dantian suddenly exploded with power and became even more terrifying.


    The aura on Lin Tian''s body increased explosively. After a short moment, the long line of spiritual energy emitted from the Source Spirit Pool was completely devoured by Lin Tian.


    At the same time, the Horned Demon also continuously displayed the power of the symbols. The overflowing spiritual energy was crazily being pulled out by him, providing spiritual energy for Lin Tian.


    Not long after, Lin Tian abruptly opened his eyes and couldn''t help but laugh out loud: "I''ve finally reached the 9th level of Qi Disciple, but I''m still a little short of breaking through to the 9th level of Qi Disciple and reaching the Qi Hai level!"


    Lin Tian''s heart was in ecstasy. He also knew that not everyone could obtain this kind of opportunity. This time, with the Source Spirit Pool, especially with the help of the spirit vein, it had greatly shortened Lin Tian''s cultivation time.


    Strength. Right now, Lin Tian urgently desired strength.


    However, the devouring ability in Lin Tian''s body, who had reached the Qi Hai realm, unexpectedly went up another level. The small whirlpool in his dantian revolved at a crazy rate, devouring spiritual energy at a speed several times faster than before.


    After a while, the Horned Demon''s speed of seizing spiritual energy was far from being able to keep up with Lin Tian''s rate of devouring.


    Seeing this, Horned Demon also became furious. He opened his mouth and spewed out dragon flames, completely evaporating the water in the Source Spirit Pool.


    In the next moment, the power of the dragon flame hit the ground, directly digging out a small hole in the pool.


    It was also at this time that the mutation started to regenerate. The hole that had been cut out by the horned dragon suddenly began to roll outwards, and waves of extremely terrifying spirit energy gushed out of it.


    The spirit vein had accumulated for a long time underground, and the spirit energy had reached a certain point. At this moment, the gas had already turned into liquid, and a surge of refined spirit energy was surging upwards like a spring.


    Lin Tian blankly looked at everything in front of him, but in the next moment, a hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes.


    This spiritual energy spring was simply the good fortune of heaven. Naturally, he would not give up such a good opportunity. The whirlpool of dantian revolved again, and the swallowing speed increased.


    Now that he was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, the next step was to open up his Qi Sea.


    For ordinary people, they would need a huge amount of spiritual energy to open up their spiritual sea.


    After his body had been transformed by the dragon blood, he was naturally not an ordinary person. Moreover, his current dantian had been modified by the dragon blood, so it was the dragon race''s dantian.


    Lin Tian had already experienced the terrifying aspects of the small whirlpool in his Dantian, so for this reason, this time when he opened up his Dantian''s Qi Sea, he would definitely need a large amount of Spiritual Qi to support it. The spiritual energy from the gushing spring in front of him looked extremely terrifying, but it was hard to say whether it was enough for Lin Tian to open up his Qi Sea.


    Perhaps the spiritual energy that was gushing out of the spring wasn''t enough, so it was very possible.


    At this time, Lin Tian was sitting cross-legged in the spiritual energy spring. Spiritual energy began gushing into Lin Tian''s body crazily.


    And Lin Tian''s abnormal physique also revealed its due strength.


    The current Lin Tian''s body was like a huge bottomless pit. Spiritual energy had just been spat out when it was completely absorbed by Lin Tian.


    As for Horned Demon, he seemed a bit tired. He first used the power of the symbols to pull out the Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Veins. Then he spat out a dragon flame and pulled out the Spiritual Veins. Only then did Spiritual Energy gush out of the spring.


    However, this level of consumption for it was extremely huge. Thus, after helping Lin Tian do all of this, the Horned Demon turned back into a transparent dragon soul and returned into Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness.


    At this time, Lin Tian didn''t have the time to pay attention to the hornless Lin Tian because the spirit energy that was gushing out from the spring was crazily surging into Lin Tian''s dantian whirlpool. The spirit energy entered his body through the dantian and transformed into incomparably pure Essence Qi.


    The places that the Essence Qi passed started to continuously heal Lin Tian''s body, including the hidden injuries that Lin Tian had left behind due to overcultivation, and the injuries that Lin Tian''s body couldn''t find because his meridians and dantian had been destroyed. Now, the pure Essence Qi had completely healed them.


    Afterwards, the spiritual energy that Lin Tian absorbed was sucked into the small whirlpool in his dantian and it directly turned into pure Essence Qi that was stored in Lin Tian''s body.


    This was the prelude to opening up one''s Qi Sea. Only when the Yuan Qi in one''s Dantian had reached a certain level would one be able to open up the whirlpool in the Dantian and form the Qi Sea.


    He had truly reached the Qi Hai level.


    Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi. Then, he converted it into Essence and stored it in his Dantian, circulating it in an endless cycle ¡­


    But Lin Tian had been cultivating inside for too long. Outside, Hu Yuancheng was a bit impatient. Hu Yuancheng was filled with doubt: "What is this kid doing? Why is he still not coming out after such a long time?"


    He guessed that Lin Tian must have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the Source Spirit Pool to raise his cultivation. That wasn''t hard to understand, after all, the opening of the Source Spirit Pool only happened once a year.


    Didn''t I already tell him that the spiritual energy in the Source Spirit Pool is extremely abundant, but the amount of spiritual energy that a person can absorb is still limited, after all. If the amount of spiritual energy he can absorb has already reached saturation, then absorbing too much spiritual energy will not be a good thing, but a disaster. Because of the accumulation of too much spiritual energy, if he fails to digest it, not only will he damage his meridians, his body might even explode.


    Hu Yuancheng actually wanted to go in and see what Lin Tian was doing in the Source Spirit Pool, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to. This brat''s body was quite strong, perhaps he would be able to absorb even more spiritual energy.


    Hu Yuancheng continued to sit cross-legged and close his eyes to rest. Of course, he did not know that Lin Tian, with the help of the high grade spirit vein, had already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. Furthermore, it was time for him to prepare to open his own Qi Sea ¡­


    But right now, Lin Tian seemed to have met with some trouble because a large amount of spiritual energy gathered. A large amount of Essence was stored in his dantian, but it didn''t fill up the small whirlpool in his dantian.


    This was a little strange. The spiritual energy that Lin Tian had just absorbed was enough for ten martial artists at Qi Disciple level 9 to open up their own dantian''s spiritual sea. However, to Lin Tian, even after absorbing so much spiritual energy, his whirlpool dantian did not change at all.


    The small whirlpool in his dantian didn''t react at all.


    Spiritual energy was still gushing out of the spring. However, compared to before, the power of the gush of spiritual energy was now greatly weakened.


    Lin Tian was even more shocked in his heart. Could it be that even a high grade spirit vein was unable to help him open up his aurasea? If that was the case, then this whirlpool of his dantian was too terrifying.


    Also, this wasn''t too good news for Lin Tian. If he couldn''t open up his Qi Sea with this kind of luck, then it would be even more difficult for him to rely on himself to open up his Qi Sea in the future.


    This was because there was no longer such a good opportunity and Lin Tian was not even born into a rich family. It was very difficult to obtain good resources.


    But just at this moment, as if he had felt Lin Tian''s worry, the drop of blood suppressed by the whirlpool of Lin Tian''s Dantian, at this moment, also drew out an extremely small amount. Around a thousandth of that drop of blood, or even a thousandth of that blood aura, quickly rushed into Lin Tian''s body.


    The wave of blood qi entered Lin Tian''s body and immediately began to churn. As a result, Lin Tian''s body also began to boil ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian suddenly felt the changes in his body. It seemed that there was something that suddenly began to boil, a wave of scorching feeling immediately came over.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but in the next moment, he suddenly felt that his body was no longer under his control. A powerful suction force immediately surged out from the whirlpool''s dantian, devouring all the spiritual energy in the spring.


    The roiling spiritual energy was immediately absorbed by the whirlpool''s dantian. Coupled with the blood energy that entered his body, it all entered Lin Tian''s dantian.


    Boom!" Lin Tian''s body suddenly emitted a strange sound. An indescribable warm feeling immediately flooded into his heart.


    The whirlpool of energy in his dantian suddenly opened up a vast sea.


    "Qi Hai realm ¡­ I actually broke through to the Qi Hai realm!" Lin Tian''s heart was incomparably happy. The dantian had opened up the Qi Sea, and this was the official sign that Lin Tian had officially broken through to the Qi Sea realm!

 C20

    On the path of cultivation, one needed to start training in the Qi Sea, form a Gold Core, and transform the Milky Way.


    The four major realms of cultivation were the Mortal Realm, the Qi Sea Realm, the Golden Core Realm, and the Star River Realm.


    Each of these four realms had nine levels.


    At the beginning of the training, it was training Qi, which was the most basic stage to comprehend Essence Qi. To comprehend Essence Qi was to be able to absorb and use the Spiritual Qi of the outside world, refining it into Essence Qi; this was the most basic stage to practice Essence Qi.


    And once one reached a certain level of Qi Cultivating Stage, he would be able to open up a Qi Sea in his dantian. The Qi Sea was a sea of Yuan Qi in his dantian, but it was a sea of Yuan Qi.


    At this moment, the Essence Qi was gathering in his Dantian to form a sea, which was also known as the Qi Sea. Having a Qi Sea naturally meant that the Martial Cultivator''s body had an endless supply of Essence Qi.


    A martial artist who had reached this stage could truly be called an expert.


    Right now, Lin Tian could already be considered a Qi Hai warrior!


    When one reached the Qi Hai realm, the Yuan Qi in the Qi Sea would condense into a golden core.


    The aurous core was different from the aurous sea. The aurous core was the source of a martial artist''s strength. Once one reached the aurous core realm, not only would the physical body be more terrifying, the strength provided by the aurous core would also be incomparable to the primordial energy.


    Upon reaching the Aurous Core stage, the Essence within a martial artist''s body would transform into Yuan Power.


    Experts at the Aurous Core stage were even more powerful, and the might of their elemental energy far surpassed that of elemental energy.


    After the Aurous Core, was the Astral Realm. To reach the Astral Realm, one had to break through the Golden Core, and comprehend the power of the stars in the sky. The power of the Golden Core was the boundless Astral River, and the Astral River formed within the body of the Astral River.


    Only those who had reached the Star River Realm could be considered as experts in the entire Tian Luo Country.


    According to legend, the king of the Tian Luo Country was at the 9th level of the Star River Realm, incomparably powerful.


    Above the Star River realm, there was an even higher cultivation realm. What it was, Lin Tian didn''t know. He had just broken through to the Qi Hai realm, it was not a good thing to be ambitious.


    At this time, waves of Essence Qi slowly rose from Lin Tian''s head. In the next moment, that Essence Qi was slowly absorbed by Lin Tian into his body, repeating in a cycle.


    Not long after, Lin Tian finally let out a long sigh of relief. He abruptly opened his eyes and bright light shot out in all directions, but soon after, everything returned to normal. After a while of cultivation, he finally stabilized his own strength.


    First level of the Qi Hai realm!


    Lin Tian was incomparably happy in his heart. This kind of strength could be called a genius no matter where it was.


    A 15 year old Qi Hai warrior, a thousand years old in Tianlong City ¡­ there was no such existence.


    But Lin Tian had done it!


    Lin Tian suppressed the joy in his heart, and looked towards the bottom of the Source Spirit Pool. In the hole below the Source Spirit Pool, he could still see the location of the high grade spirit vein and the traces left behind, but at that moment, the high grade spirit vein had completely disappeared, and the power of the high grade spirit vein had been completely absorbed by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian stood up in satisfaction and walked straight out of the Source Spirit Pool.


    When he saw Lin Tian come out, Hu Yuancheng couldn''t help but reprimand him: "You brat, you actually know how to come out. I''ve told you before, you bite off more than you can chew, but why don''t you listen?"


    Hu Yuechan advised with a sincere tone.


    But seeing that Lin Tian did not refute and did not speak, Hu Yuancheng secretly nodded his head. This kid being able to realize his own mistakes was also not bad.


    Hu Yuancheng''s expression immediately eased up, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to check the Essence in Lin Tian''s body. If this brat really consumed too much Essence, Hu Yuancheng could still help him digest it.


    But just as Hu Yuancheng placed his hand on Lin Tian''s pulse and wanted to check Lin Tian''s cultivation, Lin Tian''s body suddenly released a wave of energy that repelled Hu Yuancheng''s hand.


    Not only that, Hu Yuancheng also felt his arm that was being bounced back become numb.


    Hu Yuancheng''s face immediately changed, as if he had seen a ghost. He called out to Lin Tian, "You, you, you actually ¡­"


    "No, how is this possible, how is this possible?" Hu Yuancheng repeated the words repeatedly with disbelief written all over his face.


    Lin Tian''s voice faintly sounded out: "I''m sorry, I''ve just broken through to the Qi Hai realm and am still not familiar with the power in my body. I shouldn''t be able to harm you right? Instructor Hu? "


    Lin Tian''s face was full of smiles, looking completely harmless.


    However, Hu Yuancheng''s face was filled with shock. He had felt the power within Lin Tian''s body. That power was definitely the power of a Qi Hai warrior.


    But how could that be possible? This little brat had broken through to the Qi Hai realm in such a short amount of time!


    One must know that when he first entered, he was still at Qi Disciple level 7.


    He had only trained for such a short time, yet he had broken through from Qi Disciple level 7 to Qi Hai level 3?


    This was even more impossible. To think that cultivation breakthroughs were child''s play. In less than a day, he had actually broken through three realms! This was simply impossible!


    Hu Yuancheng was filled with doubts, but he could not believe that it was true.


    However, regardless of whether he believed it or not, Lin Tian''s strength was there. He was indeed in the Qi Hai realm, and the key point was that Lin Tian had admitted it himself.


    With a face of defeat, Hu Yuancheng turned around to close the Primary Spirit Pool. The amount of information he had was too much for him, and he could not accept it in such a short amount of time.


    This formation was able to maintain the spirit energy in the Source Spirit Pool not dissipating, but instead accumulating it unceasingly. This was also why Xiao Yunhai had to set the rule that the Source Spirit Pool would only open once a year, and that was in order for the Source Spirit Pool to display its greatest use.


    However, when Hu Yuancheng saw the appearance of the Source Spirit Pool, he suddenly exclaimed out loud, "This, is this still the Source Spirit Pool?"


    At this moment, the Source Spirit Pool seemed to have been completely destroyed, and everything was in a mess.


    There was not a single drop of spirit liquid left. Instead, it had completely dried up.


    Not only that, there was an extremely deep hole at the bottom of the Source Spirit Pool. Hu Yuancheng naturally knew that the reason there was such a spirit pond was because there was an earth spirit vein underneath it. But now, that earth spirit vein had completely disappeared, and the hole no longer emitted any trace of spirit energy.


    The Source Spirit Pool had been destroyed!


    "Is ¡­ is this the secret behind the boy''s breakthrough to the Qi Hai realm?" Hu Yuancheng felt his scalp tingle.


    "No, I have to report this to the principal!" Just as Hu Yuancheng was about to leave to find Xiao Yunhai, Lin Tian had already drifted away. He left behind a few words: "Instructor Hu, don''t worry. I will report this matter to Master in full detail. I''ll go find Master right now ¡­"


    Hu Yuancheng immediately looked at Lin Tian''s departing back with a dejected face. His heart was filled with bitterness. He had cultivated for half his life, but he was actually unable to defeat a brat that had cultivated for less than a year?


    Lin Tian was only a 15 year old Qi Hai warrior!


    Hu Yuancheng was deeply shocked.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly went to Xiao Yunhai''s room.


    With regards to his master, Lin Tian didn''t have anything to hide. He explained the whole process of how he broke through to the Qi Hai realm in detail.


    When Xiao Yunhai heard about the disappearance of his spirit vein, he did not get angry. Instead, he became somewhat happy. So what if the Source Spirit Pool was destroyed? Compared to the good news that Lin Tian had already broken through to the Qi Hai realm, the Source Spirit Pool was nothing.


    Meanwhile, deep within the Green Cliff Mountain.


    In recent days, the number of people deep within the Green Cliff Mountain had suddenly increased.


    Countless large and small groups did not know where they had come from during these few days. However, all of them hurriedly swarmed into the Green Cliff Mountain.


    There were those who traveled in groups of three to five, and there were those who traveled alone. And just when all of these people had rushed into the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain.


    Corpses were strewn all over the Green Cliff Mountain, and demon beast corpses were practically everywhere.


    If Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai saw these people, they would definitely know that these people came for the same purpose.


    That was the shadow of the dragon gate!


    At the same time, in an inn in Tian Luo City.


    King Yongan, Luo Lie, had just seen Tian Luo''s second prince. At this moment, he had just sat down when a servant rushed over and handed him a piece of paper.


    Luo Lie was somewhat unhappy. He was already very tired. Just as he wanted to rest, a letter came from King Yongan''s Mansion. However, Luo Lie still took a look at the message sent from the pigeon.


    However, after he finished looking at it, Luo Lie slammed his hand on the table and it shattered into pieces. It was smashed into powder by Luo Lie!


    With a savage expression, Luo Lie grabbed the servant beside him. "This news, who is it!"


    The man was frightened by Luo Lie''s sudden rage. After stuttering for a long time, he finally replied, "Reporting to your majesty, this is a message sent by Butler Luo. The person who received the message said that no matter what, please give a reply!"


    Luo Lie tossed the servant to the side and said, "Inform them and pack up quickly. We''re heading back to Sky Dragon City by night!"


    "Yes sir!" The servant answered and scrambled out of the room.


    However, at this moment, Luo Lie had an exhausted look on his face. His face was twisted as he tightly gripped the letter in his hand.


    "Chen''er, why didn''t you wait for father to return!" Luo Lie howled out in grief, "Who killed you? Who dares to kill you in Sky Dragon City!"


    "However, regardless of who it might be, since you dare to touch my Luo Family''s people, you must be tired of living. Father will return right away and find the person who killed you. Father will definitely dismember his body into a thousand pieces to avenge you!" Luo Lie''s face was filled with pain. He had previously thought that with Luo Chen''s strength at the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage and his identity as the young prince of Sky Dragon City, no one would dare make a move against him. But now that he thought about it, he was wrong.


    However, it was too late to regret now. He could only wait for him to go back and find out who the real culprit was before taking revenge for Luo Chen.


    At the same time, Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai had also chosen to undergo closed-door training.


    In these few days, they had heard that the shadow of the dragon gate had attracted countless experts, and there was no lack of experts with strength from the top of the Tian Luo Kingdom. Since Xiao Yunhai had already decided to help Lin Tian, he naturally had to return to his best condition in advance, and Lin Tian also needed to familiarize himself with his strength as soon as possible.


    The atmosphere in Sky Dragon City was getting more and more tense. As long as he was strong enough, he would be able to feel more at ease.

 C21

    Due to more and more people arriving at the Green Cliff Mountain in recent days, the entire Green Cliff Mountain had become much more lively than before.


    The sound of fighting could be heard everywhere. Countless Level 2 demon beasts had died on the way. In fact, all of them were treasures, but after killing those demon beasts, those people didn''t even give them a glance before leaving.


    Furthermore, the deeper one went, the higher the level of the demon beasts became. From time to time, the roars of the demon beasts could be heard along with the sounds of humans and demon beasts fighting.


    However, among the crowd, there were two people who looked very strange. One was a woman in white, and the other was an old lady with white hair. The two people accompanying her were too eye-catching and attracted the attention of countless people.


    However, when someone wanted to check the cultivation levels of the two, they immediately felt a wave of stuffiness in their chest, and their body felt as if it was on fire. Their internal organs were roasted by scorching heat and the pain was unbearable, extremely horrifying.


    Thus, no one dared to check the cultivation bases of these two people. However, that woman was obviously a lady among noble young ladies. She pointed and talked all the way, beaming with joy, as if everything was new to her.


    As for Monstrous Beasts, they basically backed away from the two of them. Some people even saw some Monstrous Beasts not escaping in time, and in front of the two of them, they trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to move at all.


    One must know that these demon beasts were all vicious birds and fierce beasts from the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain. However, in front of these two people, they were like mice that had seen a cat.


    Therefore, everyone paid extra attention to the two of them, afraid that they would offend them.


    "Master, isn''t it too late to go in now?" At this time, in front of the Green Cliff Mountain, Lin Tian looked at the people rushing into the Green Cliff Mountain. He couldn''t help but ask Xiao Yunhai.


    "Of course not, there are still a few days until the opening of the Dragon Gate''s Shadow. Don''t worry, everyone knows about this secret, and deep inside the Green Cliff Mountain, there are movements every three years. Ordinary people might not know, but they can''t hide it from the higher ups of Tian Luo Kingdom. Xiao Yunhai comforted Lin Tian and directly walked into the Green Cliff Mountain.


    Lin Tian did not dare to be slow and followed Xiao Yunhai''s footsteps.


    Along the way, demon beast corpses could be seen everywhere. What was even more horrifying was that almost all of those demon beasts had been killed in one blow. There were even quite a few second level demon beasts.


    A Level 2 demon beast was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Qi Hai realm. Of course, there were some Level 2 demon beasts that were as strong as a 9th layer Qi Hai warrior, and some Level 2 demon beasts were average in strength.


    As Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai traveled, they could almost see peak Rank 2 Demonic Beasts, comparable to an existence at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm. However, these Demonic Beasts were actually killed in a single strike by a human.


    The two of them continued onward. However, when they passed by a valley, they suddenly heard a ferocious roar from a demonic beast, as well as the explosive roar from a person.


    When the two of them went to the source of the sound, they saw a young man in red clothes below the valley. At this moment, he was fighting against a two-headed python.


    It''s actually a Rank 3 Demonic Beast, Double-Headed Python!" This double-headed python could be considered a tyrant within the Green Cliff Mountain. A third-level demonic beast was comparable to a human cultivator of the Golden Core Stage. Even he didn''t dare to rashly offend this kind of existence, but this brat had actually provoked such a tyrant!


    At this moment, the youth was staring at the Twin-Headed Python. However, his body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was nervous and trembling.


    The valley was surrounded by people who had been attracted by the confrontation between the teenager and the twin pythons. However, the people had come to watch the show, so no one had the intention of helping the teenager.


    The Twin-Headed Python was already a demonic beast at the third level and had long awakened. It roared madly at the young man.


    The youth wasn''t afraid in the slightest and even muttered, "Master said, don''t be afraid when encountering a strong demon beast. Just stare at it fiercely. If it feels your terror, the demon beast will naturally retreat ¡­"


    If others were to hear what this young man said, they would probably laugh their teeth out. How could there be such a good thing that you could make a level three demon beast retreat just by staring at it?


    The python and the youth were rather close. As if it had heard what the youth said, the corner of its mouth immediately revealed a mocking smile.


    The pair of pythons swung its tail, and its tail, which was as thick as a bucket, immediately swung it towards the young man.


    That youth muttered, "No, Master''s words are useless. This python is not obedient. Not only was it not scared away by me, it even attacked me!"


    The youth dodged slightly and the python''s tail instantly swept past him. However, it was just a hair''s breadth away from him, so it did not sweep towards the youth.


    When the python''s attack failed, it immediately became a bit angry. It once again coiled its snake tail and rushed towards the young man.


    The teenager still dodged slightly, but the snake tail once again missed its target.


    After the two consecutive attacks, some of the people present were surprised. They had clearly noticed that something was wrong.


    That''s right, this little brat had been standing at the same spot without moving. He only dodged slightly to avoid the two boa''s fatal attacks.


    He had also noticed the two moves just now, and his perception and perception were both terrifying to the extreme. He had clearly seen just now that this youth seemed to have luckily dodged the two attacks from the python, but the truth was that the teenager had already calculated the angle and strength, so no matter how much power those pythons used, they were completely unable to sweep away the teenager ¡­


    All of these could only mean one thing. This boy was an expert, and a top master at that!


    In the past few days, his life had been too smooth, he had almost never met an opponent, and even his emotions had become restless. But now, it seemed that there was always someone stronger than him, someone stronger than him, and with his strength, perhaps it was not bad in this small Sky Dragon City, but in the entire Azure Province, or even the entire Tian Luo Kingdom, he was nothing.


    The boy in front of him was clearly only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he actually had such a powerful strength. Before this, he had been a little too calm.


    However, the young man''s actions had thoroughly angered the double-headed python. At this moment, the double-headed python revealed a vicious expression as it charged towards the young man with a cruel expression.


    The youngster''s face flushed red. It was obviously the first time he had encountered such a situation.


    "That damned old man, he held me back for more than ten years. I just came down from the mountain and met such a beast. Damn it, he didn''t teach me anything, he only taught me how to brag. I''ve f * cked over tens of thousands of bullies, but this two-headed beast, how can I brag about it!"


    The youngster scolded, but he was unwilling to listen to his master any longer. He turned around and ran.


    If he couldn''t win, then he would run. This was his instinct.


    Everyone was slightly stunned before bursting out into laughter. At the beginning, they thought that this youth was truly a top-notch expert, but now, he is just a fledgling ¡­


    Lin Tian was also stunned. He looked at the young man with disbelief. This, what sort of method was this?


    Although the teenager was fast, he could not outrun the two-headed python. The two-headed python swung its tail violently, wrapping the teenager in a tight encirclement and pulling him back. The teenager was caught by the snake tail.


    The huge snake instantly coiled around each other, and the sudden burst of force nearly caused the youth to lose his breath.


    The teenager panicked. "Laozi, laozi won''t die here today will I?"


    The huge snake tightly coiled around the youth as all the strength in its body crazily squeezed onto the youth''s body.


    The teenager wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. "F * * k, your father was tricked by that damned old man!"


    "Bullsh * t!" At this moment, the youth suddenly recalled the words that the old man had told him before descending the mountain. If he encountered any ferocious beasts or vicious people, he would boast!


    Right, bragging!


    A light flashed in the boy''s eyes as he took in a deep breath and violently exhaled.


    This was the bragging of legends.


    Initially, when the young man acknowledged the old man as his teacher, the old man almost didn''t teach the young man anything, he only taught the young man how to boast. Back then, when the young man accepted the old man as his teacher, the old man almost didn''t teach the young man anything, only taught the young man how to boast.


    As the youth continued to boast, the atmosphere in his dantian suddenly began to change.


    Not long after, the twin pythons felt that something was wrong. This was because the young man''s stomach was constantly getting bigger.


    As his stomach grew bigger, no matter how much strength the twin pythons used, they were unable to entangle the youth.


    The Double-Headed Python opened its mouth and swallowed the teenager without any hesitation.


    The surrounding people exclaimed, but they immediately lost interest and scattered. At the beginning, they really thought this youth was some extreme expert, but wasn''t he still unable to escape his fate of losing his life?


    Only the four of them were still blankly staring at the scene. Xiao Yunhai, Lin Tian, another woman, and an old woman.


    The four of them didn''t even blink as they carefully stared at the twin pythons'' stomachs.


    At this moment, the twin headed python''s abdomen began to swell crazily.


    Not long after that, there was a loud bang. The body of the twin pythons exploded. A young man with an extremely swollen belly jumped out from the two pythons'' stomachs.


    The youth jumped up and breathed out towards a mountain not far away.


    That wave of energy penetrated through the long rainbow and was extremely terrifying. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at the top of that mountain.


    Only then did the youth fall to the ground, panting heavily. He couldn''t help but curse, "Fuck, this damn old man! The next time I see him, I must kill him!"

 C22

    The four onlookers couldn''t help but smile. But, all four of them were incomparably shocked. Although this young man didn''t seem to be revealing his strength, they had all seen his terrifying strength.


    This young man didn''t seem to emit any Essence Qi, but he managed to kill a demonic beast that was comparable to a Jindan Stage cultivator. Just from this point alone, one could tell that he was extraordinary.


    While the four of them were still in shock, something even more shocking happened.


    At this moment, the mountain peak that the youth from before was blowing towards with a single breath actually began to clatter.


    The four of them turned around and saw that the mountain had actually started to loosen up. In the next moment, endless dirt started to fall and the entire mountain had completely collapsed!


    At this moment, the four of them looked from the top of the mountain to the top of the young man in shock. After a long time, they looked from the young man to the top of the mountain and all four of them could not help but gasp.


    To be more accurate, was this youth really an ordinary person?


    He had actually used one breath to blow down a mountain!


    Was this something an ordinary person could do?


    At this moment, the boy recovered and quietly stood up. He saw that there were four people staring at him with a strange expression on their faces. He could not help but be a little reserved.


    However, when he saw the girl, the youth''s eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly rushed out from the bottom of the valley and headed towards the top of the valley: "Beautiful sister, hello. My name is Xiao Chen, I''m Rank 7. Everyone around me calls me Xiao Qi. If you don''t mind, you can also call me Xiao Qi."


    The girl was stunned for a moment before looking at the youth with a smiling face and said: "Hello, my name is Yun Huang."


    "Sister Yun, hello, you''re also here to look for treasures. Fine, we were just on the way, but this broken mountain, there are too many hills, I almost got lost when I first came here, Sister Yun, be kind and take me there, it was because I was lost previously that caused me to meet this damned two-headed beast, you saw it just now, I almost died in that beast''s stomach ¡­" The youth immediately said to the woman called Yun Huang with a wronged expression.


    "Brat, do we know each other? Why do we need to bring you along?!" Without waiting for Yun Huang to speak, the old granny beside him had already opened her mouth.


    The old granny, you''re wrong by saying this, I was almost killed by that two-headed beast just now, but you guys only watched the show, and no one cares about my life or death, old man, no, my master once said, as he said, if you walk the world, you will see injustice, and you will pull out your sword to help, but you just saw me almost die just now, and you didn''t pull out your sword to help me, I don''t blame you guys, but now do you guys want to help me with a little favor? The teenager spoke reason to the old granny with a stern expression.


    The old granny was annoyed by his words and was about to attack and chase him away when Yun Huang suddenly said, "Alright, it''s pointless to go alone anyway. It might be more interesting to bring you along."


    "Haha, thank you Big Sister Yun. I knew that Big Sister Yun was the best." The youth gave a brilliant smile and stood by Yun Huang''s side.


    The old granny said somewhat helplessly to Yun Huang, "Miss, you ¡­"


    Before she finished speaking, Yun Feng had already interrupted her. Instead, he turned around and said to Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai who were standing not too far away: "How about the two of you go together?"


    Xiao Yunhai was slightly startled, but just as he was about to refuse, Lin Tian opened his mouth: "Okay, two people is not equal to five. To be able to go with the three of you, I''m sure it would be very happy."


    Xiao Yunhai was even more stunned. What about Tian''er?


    Lin Tian actually shot a look at Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Yunhai immediately stopped speaking.


    Only now did the youth see the existence of Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai. He narrowed his eyes at Lin Tian and let out an astonished cry. Afterwards, he carefully sized up Lin Tian before fiercely jumping up.


    "Bro, I''ve been looking for you for such a long time!" The youth didn''t say anything and directly rushed towards Lin Tian, giving him a bear hug.


    Before Lin Tian came back to his senses, the youth had already grabbed Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian felt a pain on his back and subconsciously, he fiercely exploded out a wave of tyrannical spirit energy. A palm shot towards the youth.


    The youth lightly turned his body and dodged Lin Tian''s punch. However, he didn''t make any other movements and instead stood in place, bitterly pondering.


    Lin Tian''s heart was in shock. He could imagine how this youth had suddenly pounced at him. Moreover, what did he do to his back just now?


    He glared at the youth, his eyes fixed on him. His elemental energy surged as it gathered in his hands. The Great Destiny Fist was ready, it seemed as if he could attack the youth at any time.


    But that youth didn''t seem to have noticed that Lin Tian was about to make a move on him. Instead, he was bitterly pondering about something.


    At the same time, after Lin Tian threw out that palm, Yun Huang''s face also changed.


    The center of her eyebrows began to throb crazily. In the next moment, a faint, fiery red mark appeared on her forehead. However, it disappeared soon after.


    The old lady seemed to have noticed the change in Yun Huang and could not help but ask with concern: "Miss, you, what happened to you?"


    Yun Feng shook his head and replied softly, "I''m fine ¡­"


    But right now, the gaze with which she looked at Lin Tian was even more doubtful. Her eyebrows lightly wrinkled as if she was also thinking about something.


    The atmosphere between the five of them immediately became strange.


    Xiao Yunhai also had a blank look on his face. The series of events just now had happened too fast, so fast that he didn''t know what was going on at all.


    "Tian, are you alright?" Frowning, Xiao Yunhai still couldn''t help but ask.


    "I''m fine." Lin Tian shook his head. After a long time, his gaze tightly locked onto that youth. Lin Tian coldly said: "Who exactly are you? What did you do to me just now?"


    The youth turned a deaf ear to her words, as if he was completely immersed in his own world.


    Yun Huang also looked at Lin Tian and then looked at the youth. However, it was unknown what he was thinking about in his heart.


    After a long while, the youth slowly raised his head and asked, "You, what''s your name?"


    Lin Tian was stunned again. Why was this youth so strange? First he gave him a hug, then he did not know what he did behind his back, and now he was asking for his name. It seemed like this youth was not a fool.


    "You look very much like a person, a person that this old man has been searching for all this time ¡­" His voice was filled with bitterness, "In the past, this old man always told me that fate cannot be disobeyed, that fate cannot be disobeyed. Before this, I had never known what fate was, but after I understood what fate was, I did not want to believe in it, but today, I finally understood why the old man looked at me and sighed.


    The youth suddenly said something extremely strange.


    Lin Tian was startled again. He had no idea what the youth was saying. Just as he was about to say something again.


    The young man suddenly muttered to Lin Tian. The others couldn''t hear him clearly, but those words were completely clear and clearly transmitted into Lin Tian''s ears. At this moment, those words were like a clap of thunder to Lin Tian.


    The youth said: "Are you Lin Tian?"


    "He actually knows my name!" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with shock. He hadn''t told him his name just now, so how could he know his name?


    Moreover, Lin Tian''s memory was very good. He had never seen this person before. In other words, this young man in front of him was a complete stranger. But he actually knew his name!


    Xiao Yunhai didn''t know what the two were talking about, but he also knew that the youth had used a secret method to send a message, so only Lin Ming knew what the youth had said.


    But Lin Tian''s face was currently filled with shock. It seemed like that youth had said some extremely amazing secret.


    "Who exactly are you?" Lin Tian took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart.


    "It seems like you really are Lin Tian. I always thought that destiny did not exist, but now it seems that I was wrong ¡­" The youth felt even more bitter as he whispered, "Looks like this old man has already planned things out. I was wondering why he agreed so readily to let me go down the mountain. He has already calculated everything ¡­"


    "Who the hell are you? What are you talking about? Do I know you? " Lin Tian''s heart became more and more doubtful. Just what was this young man talking about?


    You will know me. My name is Xiao Chen, and you will understand what I''m saying very soon. After the exploration of the illusory dragon gate is over, I will go back and find Master. The youth looked sad, and there was no longer any trace of light on his face.


    Lin Tian was about to ask something when Yun Huang suddenly walked over from not too far away.


    She immediately extended her hand and said: "Hello, my name is Yun Huang and this is my mother, Granny Jin."


    "Mama?" Xiao Yunhai was surprised for a moment, and then shouted in shock: "You, you guys are not people from the Tian Luo Kingdom!"


    "More accurately speaking, they are not from the Western Spiritual Realm." Yun Huang laughed lightly: "I didn''t think that you would know so much."


    Yun Huang sighed, then shook her hand, and said to Lin Tian: "Hey, give me face. This is a custom at our place, holding hands is a form of courtesy, it is our first time meeting, please take care of me!"


    Lin Tian was even more surprised, but he suddenly extended his hand out, and shook hands with Yun Feng.


    Just as he held Yun Huang''s hand, a wave of scalding feeling rushed through him. Just as Lin Tian wanted to pull his hand out, Yun Huang firmly held onto Lin Tian''s hand.


    Lin Tian felt that not only his hands, but his body also suddenly became boiling hot.


    But just at this moment, the whirlpool of Dantian in Lin Tian''s body suddenly erupted with power, extinguishing the burning sensation around his body.


    Right at this moment, a faint expression of shock finally shrouded Yun Huang''s face. However, it was quickly suppressed by her.


    Yun Huang gently pulled out his hand and muttered to himself, "As expected, fate cannot be defied ¡­"


    "You, actually appeared ¡­"

 C23

    Lin Tian was even more confused. Why was this Yun Huang girl and that youth both so strange?


    What secrets did they have, or did they discover them?


    What did they mean by ''it''s impossible to go against fate''?


    For a time, countless questions swarmed Lin Tian''s mind. Xiao Yunhai also didn''t know what was going on.


    On the other hand, it was Granny Jin who stared at Lin Tian with a burning gaze. She then asked the woman in a low voice: "Miss, what did you discover?"


    "Un, he has a familiar aura on him ¡­" Yun Feng''s eyebrows jumped again as he replied Granny Jin.


    "What?" Nanny Jin looked at Lin Tian with a face full of shock. Her eyes were filled with disbelief: "He, he is ¡­"


    Nanny Jin''s tone was full of suspicion. She couldn''t help but ask again, "Miss, are you sure that your feelings are correct? Is this kid really that kind of existence?"


    Yun Huang nodded his head, "That''s right, my bloodline can be awakened by him."


    Nanny Jin immediately moved to the side without saying anything else.


    Lin Tian was completely confused, but at this time, Lin Tian felt his own sea of consciousness throb, and a calm voice sounded: "It''s actually ¡­ Divine Phoenix bloodline? "


    It was the voice of the Horned Demon. However, the Horned Demon''s voice was a bit low and had a trace of surprise.


    Lin Tian stared blankly before asking: "You''ve recovered?"


    Previously, in order to help Lin Tian extract the spirit energy from the Earth Spiritual Pulse, Horned Demon had used too much power. Before, he had always been in a comatose state, but after a few attempts Lin Tian had failed, but now he had actually recovered.


    Horned Demon shook his head. "No, it was the blood of that woman who woke him up."


    "You just mentioned the Divine Phoenix bloodline. What is the Divine Phoenix bloodline?" The Horned Demon was actually also awakened by the bloodline aura of the woman. It was likely that the Divine Phoenix bloodline was not ordinary.


    "Divine Phoenix is an existence only second to the True Dragon." "As for the ancestor of the Divine Phoenix, he is known as the Ancestral Phoenix, an existence similar to the Ancestral Dragon. Furthermore, there is a deep connection between the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix, so once a person with the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix meets someone with the bloodline of the True Dragon, they will sense it."


    "Then what you''re saying is that this woman is a descendant of the Divine Phoenix bloodline, which is why she was able to sense the aura of dragon blood in my body?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "That''s right, that woman''s body contains an extremely pure Divine Phoenix bloodline, and there''s even a high possibility that she possesses the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix. Of course, that''s also precisely the reason why I was able to awaken ¡­" "This woman''s identity is rather interesting. Now, it''s quite rare to see someone with pure Ancestral Phoenix blood ¡­"


    "But, why did this woman feel me first, but I didn''t feel her first?" He had inherited the blood essence of an Ancestral Dragon, so he naturally had the blood essence of a True Dragon. Earlier, Horned Demon had said that people with the blood essence of a True Dragon would all be able to sense each other whenever they met someone with the Divine Phoenix bloodline, but Lin Tian hadn''t realized that this woman had the bloodline of a Divine Phoenix!


    "Your bloodline power is impure." Horned Demon indifferently replied, "It''s precisely because your bloodline''s power is not pure that you are naturally unable to first sense her."


    "Also, actually, you were affected by it just now. Didn''t you notice that when Yun Huang was about to shake hands with you, you did not refuse? If it was another stranger, would you do this? " Hornless said again.


    Speaking to that, Lin Tian remembered, just now when Yun Huang had extended her hand to shake his, he had indeed not refused, not only that, Lin Tian had also felt a trace of indescribable intimacy towards Yun Huang. If one did not talk about the Horned Demon, Lin Tian did not realize, although he did not feel any difference from Yun Huang, but thinking about it this way, it was the bloodline in his body that had just influenced him.


    Right now, the ancestral dragon''s inherited blood essence was the greatest secret of his body, and this secret was too big to leak out. Once it was leaked out, Lin Tian would definitely be hunted down by countless people.


    However, from the looks of it now, this girl, Yun Huang, already knew of his secret. Furthermore, Xiao Chen, that youth with an extremely strange appearance might also know of his secret ¡­


    This was equivalent to him owning his own life completely within the hands of these two.


    This secret definitely could not be known to anyone other than him. Even Xiao Yunhai and Uncle Yu, the two closest people to Lin Tian, did not know of it, much less the others.


    However, just as Lin Tian was thinking of killing, Yun Huang was able to feel it.


    "What, you still want to kill us all?" Yun Feng opened her mouth first, but she did not say it in front of the crowd, but instead whispered it secretly into Lin Tian''s ear.


    Lin Tian''s gaze instantly became cold: "What do you want?"


    Lin Tian also used a stealth method, which was to turn his luck into sound. This way, other than the person in question, no one else could hear what they were saying.


    "Don''t worry, I know your secret. But, you also know my secret ¡­" Yun Huang blinked his eyes at Lin Tian: "I know the severity of this secret. Don''t worry, I won''t tell anyone."


    "Why should I believe you?" Lin Tian didn''t believe what she said at all. She had guaranteed that it would be nice, but when she came out of this place, she turned around and told the others. Who knew if it would happen?


    "On what basis?" She thought for a moment, then said: "Don''t worry, I can swear that I definitely will not tell anyone, but you must definitely protect yourself well. For a secret like yours, if it were to be spread out, who knows how many people would covet it.


    Lin Tian naturally still did not believe him, but he also knew that if he were to make a move against these two, he would definitely not gain any benefits. Although Granny Jin appeared to be silent, Xiao Yunhai had already quietly told him about her strength, it was actually a Star River stage expert. A Star River stage expert was not even a match for Xiao Yunhai, let alone Lin Tian.


    Moreover, this woman''s identity was mysterious; who knew if there were any experts secretly protecting her. Horned Demon said that the identity of the inheritor of the Divine Phoenix bloodline was definitely not ordinary.


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian didn''t care anymore. No matter if she told him that he had the dragon clan''s inherited blood essence, the first thing Lin Tian needed to do was to increase his own strength. Only if his strength reached a certain level and he had the ability to protect himself, even if there was someone who coveted his blood essence and came to cause trouble for Lin Tian, Lin Tian could still see and kill them.


    Strength, only a strong strength would be able to make him feel at ease.


    Xiao Chen, who was standing at the side, was clearly in low spirits. He stood there without saying a word, and the scene immediately turned quiet.


    In the end, it was Xiao Yunhai who broke the silence: "Since everyone has come for the sake of that illusory dragon gate, then we might as well set out together. One more person, and also one more to take care of."


    The others nodded and the five of them proceeded forward together, all the way until they reached the deepest part of the Green Cliff Mountain.


    In Green Cliff Mountain, there were beasts and beasts everywhere. But now, ever since the news about the shadow of the dragon gate had spread out, this mountain had never been peaceful again.


    Fighting and killing could be seen everywhere. There were even some experts that were so terrifying that there were no Demonic Beasts in sight.


    Along the way, the five of them had Yun Huang''s presence. When the demon beasts met Yun Huang, they took the initiative to avoid him, allowing them to avoid a lot of trouble.


    However, along the way, everyone seemed to have their own thoughts and didn''t communicate much.


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat as he couldn''t help but take out the metal tablet he had obtained from the Old Devil Yin.


    "Hornless, do you know this iron plate?" Lin Tian had awoken the horned dragon in his sea of consciousness.


    After which, he nodded his head: "This, if I am not mistaken, this should be the key to enter the dragon door simulacrum. On this metal tablet, there is a faintly discernible dragon aura, but it is very faint."


    "No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I obtained this metal tablet. I never expected that Old Devil Yin had actually obtained the key to enter that treasure trove ¡­" After getting the approval of the Horned Demon, Lin Tian Deng relaxed.


    "That''s right, what exactly is that illusory dragon gate?" At this time, the Horned Demon had awoken. Lin Tian naturally seized this opportunity and asked the Horned Demon for his opinion.


    "The shadow of the dragon gate is the shadow of the dragon gate." "Brat, you have already reached the Qi Hai realm, you need to think of a way to quickly open up the Divine Mansion. Once you open the Divine Mansion, I can also obtain the nourishment of your mental strength, so it won''t be like this now.


    After he finished complaining, Horned Demon continued, "The Dragon Gate is one of the dragon race''s most precious treasures. When the ancestor dragon established the heaven and earth, he feared that the dragon race would be extinct for various reasons.


    "Rumor has it that after passing through the trial of the dragon gate and entering the dragon gate, one would be able to obtain the lucky chance of the dragon race and transform into a dragon." Horned Demon fell into a state of reminiscence.


    "However, you must know that the so-called dragon gate isn''t something only fish can enter. You humans have an idiom, ''fish leaping through the dragon gate'', which is actually a misunderstanding. When the Ancestral Dragon created the dragon gate, any human, demon beast, or even the spiritual elder of plants and flowers could enter the dragon gate. As long as you pass the test of the dragon gate, you can transform into a dragon." Horned Demon replied with a look of yearning, "It''s quite early on. The goal of the Ancestral Dragon is to let everyone become dragons."


    "All living beings can become dragons?" Lin Tian was incomparably shocked. This wish was extremely grand, but with this kind of grand atmosphere and broad chest, only an ancestor would be able to accomplish it.


    "Yes, but due to various reasons, the dragon gate was taken by the descendants of the dragon race." Yes, but due to various reasons, the dragon gate was taken by the descendants of the dragon race. Horned Demon explained, "But even though it''s just a shadow, there are countless treasures inside. There are even some powerful Dragon Gate mirages. There is even a portion of the Dragon Gate sacred art. Through the shadow, we can connect to the real Dragon Gate ¡­"


    "However, don''t give up too much hope. Dragon Gate phantoms are everywhere on this continent. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a small number of people to be attracted here due to the appearance of Dragon Gate phantoms ¡­" Horned Demon could not help but pour cold water over Lin Tian. "If it was a truly powerful Dragon Gate phantom, it would definitely attract the strongest experts on the continent. But do you think that there would be any strong existences among the people who are exploring the treasure?"


    Lin Tian nodded his head. What he said was true.


    "The reason why there are so many treasures in the Dragon Gate illusion is because it has the power of the Dragon Gate, so it can connect to the Dragon clan''s treasure trove. As long as you have enough luck, you might be able to obtain the Dragon clan''s treasure, but that doesn''t necessarily mean ¡­" After explaining for a long time, Horned Demon didn''t bother to explain anymore and fell back into a deep sleep.


    Basically, he wanted to know everything that Horned Demon had said, but no matter what, Lin Tian had to enter the Dragon Gate to investigate. He did not have the support of his clan behind him, so he gave him enough resources to cultivate.

 C24

    They didn''t say anything along the way. By the time the five of them had reached the deepest part of the Green Cliff Mountain, countless people had already gathered here to explore the illusory image of the dragon gate.


    The shadow of the dragon gate was said to be on a cliff.


    But underneath the cliff, it was an endless abyss. It was incomparably deep, and even the people who lived in the Heavenly Dragon City for generations did not know how deep the abyss was.


    At this moment, the cliff was filled with people who wanted to come here for treasures.


    There were some people that Lin Tian recognized, because most of them were Sky Dragon City''s adventurer groups.


    Those adventurers specifically relied on this Green Cliff Mountain to eat. They hunted demon beasts in the Green Cliff Mountain, exchanging them for money and cultivation resources to improve their strength so that they could hunt even stronger demon beasts.


    But Lin Tian did not know most of the people. It was clear that those people were not people from Sky Dragon City. Not only that, many people came together. Many of them were old men with one or two youths.


    It was obvious that the elders or deacons of some large clan had brought their descendants here to see the world.


    The people on the cliff were standing quietly as if they were waiting for the opening of the illusory dragon gate. Occasionally, even more people would appear.


    Xiao Yunhai''s gaze swept across everyone, then suddenly froze in a certain area. It was a person around the same age as Xiao Yunhai, and there was even a youth standing by his side.


    When he saw that person, Xiao Yunhai''s expression immediately became a bit unnatural.


    But in the next moment, he turned back to his own gaze.


    However, that person seemed to have sensed something. Turning his head to take a look, he all of a sudden saw Xiao Yunhai. The corner of his mouth immediately split into a strange arc.


    "I didn''t expect to meet someone familiar here." That person had a faint smile on his face, but it was accompanied by a hint of ridicule.


    "Let''s go, Han''er. We''ve met old acquaintances, let''s go greet them." That person greeted the youth beside him, turned around, and walked towards Xiao Yunhai.


    As if he had sensed that person''s arrival, Xiao Yunhai''s expression became even more unsightly.


    Lin Tian felt that Xiao Yunhai''s expression was a bit off. He couldn''t help but ask: "Master, what''s wrong?"


    Xiao Yunhai shook his head and was about to pull Lin Tian away from this place.


    That person''s voice came from far away, "Junior brother Xiao, you actually didn''t greet us when you saw us. We haven''t seen each other in so many years, yet you have become so unfamiliar with us?"


    That voice was light, but when it reached Xiao Yunhai and Lin Tian''s ears, it sounded as uncomfortable as it could get.


    Lin Tian''s brows slightly furrowed. He turned his head and coincidentally saw an old man and a young man walking towards Xiao Yunhai and Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian asked in astonishment: "Master, you know them?"


    "I know her, but we didn''t get along well before. It has been many years since we last met ¡­" Xiao Yunhai indifferently replied, and did not say anything else.


    But Lin Tian immediately understood Xiao Yunhai''s meaning. The two people in front of him seemed to be looking for a sense of existence?


    "Someone from the Azure Province?" Lin Tian asked again. Although Lin Tian didn''t know much about Xiao Yunhai''s past, he did know that his master was once a teacher at the Azure Province Academy. However, for some reason, he came to the Sky Dragon Academy to become its principal.


    It had to be known that the instructors in the Azure Province were extremely powerful existences, and there was a world of difference between their position and the head of the school in such a small place.


    Some people would rather spend their entire life as instructors in the Azure Province Academy than come to a small place to be a principal. After all, these two identities were completely different.


    So there must have been some sort of secret at that time. As for what had happened, Xiao Yunhai had never said it, so Lin Tian naturally did not know.


    However, it was most likely because he didn''t have a happy life in the Azure Province Academy.


    Since the two in front of him were people from the Azure Province Academy and they had met Xiao Yunhai, it was inevitable that they would come to look for their existence.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s face immediately became cold.


    Only then did Xiao Yunhai turn around and lightly say to that person, "So it''s Senior Yuan, it''s been a long time since we last met. This person is old and his eyes are no longer useful. Please forgive me for not seeing Senior Yuan."


    The person called Senior Martial Brother Yuan smiled and said, "It''s fine, it''s fine. I was not sure just now that it was you. I didn''t expect Junior Martial Brother Xiao to be in Tianlong City."


    As they spoke, the two had already arrived in front of Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai.


    "Yes." It was obvious that he didn''t want to talk more with him.


    "I''m talking about you. It''s just that your temper is too stubborn. Say, if it wasn''t for you back then ¡­" When Senior brother Yuan just said this, he was immediately interrupted by Xiao Yunhai: "What happened that year is already in the past. Why does Senior brother Yuan still mention him?"


    "Fine, fine, fine. I won''t say anything. I won''t say anything." Seeing that Xiao Yunhai''s expression had become ugly, the smile on Senior Martial Brother Yuan''s face suddenly became richer. Without saying anything else about the past, he continued: "Tianlong City is too lacking in spiritual energy, and the winds of martial arts are too weak, what is the meaning of staying here? How about this, I know an old friend of mine, he is the principal of Tianfeng Academy in Tianfeng City, I recommend you go there. At that time, for my sake, you can be a teacher in Tianfeng Academy, just like staying in Tianlong City."


    "Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother. I feel pretty good staying here." Xiao Yunhai interrupted Senior Brother Yuan''s words.


    Senior brother Yuan was successively interrupted by Xiao Yunhai, and his face also gradually became gloomy.


    He turned his head to the youth beside him and said, "Han''Er, hurry up and greet your Martial Uncle Xiao!"


    The youngster behind him raised his head arrogantly and spoke with slight disdain, "Master, where do you make so many poor friends? Do you want me to call you uncle master wherever you go?"


    Senior brother Yuan''s expression did not change. However, the next moment, he reprimanded Yuan Qing: "What are you saying? Child, why are you so arrogant now?"


    Although it was a reproach, there was no blame in his tone. There was even some encouragement.


    Lin Tian coldly watched from the side. This teacher and disciple pair''s acting was quite good. One was rude, and the other pretended to scold, thinking of ways to humiliate Xiao Yunhai.


    However, seeing that the young man seemed to want to slap him, Lin Tian couldn''t hold back the anger in his heart. In the next moment, Lin Tian moved.


    Lin Tian''s speed almost reached the limit. It was so fast that Senior brother Yuan and the young man almost didn''t have time to react.


    But Lin Tian had already made his move.


    "Pah!" With a sound, Lin Tian slapped the youth''s face.


    The youth''s face immediately became red and swollen. A palm sized handprint was imprinted on the boy''s right cheek.


    The young man did not react in the beginning, but by the time he reacted, his face was already swollen. He looked at Lin Tian with a face full of malice and fury: "Little bastard, you''re courting death!"


    He felt a burning pain on his face. However, compared to the pain on his face, the humiliation of being slapped was even more unbearable for the youth. Especially since this little b * stard had actually slapped him in front of so many people.


    "Yeah, I''m looking to die, then come hit me!" Lin Tian choked.


    "I''ll kill you!" The youth was about to attack.


    But Lin Tian''s speed was much faster than his.


    "Pah!" Lin Tian''s figure once again moved in front of the youth like a ghost and gave him another slap.


    But this time, it was the left cheek.


    A bright red handprint appeared on the young man''s left cheek.


    "Right, this looks much more comfortable. Beautiful in a symmetrical way!" Lin Tian admired his masterpiece with satisfaction.


    "Little bastard, I''ll kill you!" He was a student from the Azure Province Academy, and his master was even one of the few instructors who had the most experience in the Azure Province Academy. When had he ever been humiliated like that?


    "Right senior brother, you can''t be rude. It seems like you haven''t been beaten enough." Lin Tian''s figure moved again.


    But this time, senior brother Yuan was no longer just watching. He was going to take action.


    Lin Tian''s voice immediately sounded out: "Master, this old bastard wants to attack me. Don''t just stand there."


    "Senior brother Yuan, it''s normal for the juniors to cause trouble. We old guys shouldn''t take action." Only now did Xiao Yunhai come back to his senses, but the next moment, he moved to block Senior Brother Yuan.


    Lin Tian no longer had any worries. He immediately became like a fish in water. His figure was incomparably fast and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the youth.


    "Pa, pa, pa." Lin Tian stretched out his hands and slapped the youth''s face.


    "This slap is for teaching you how to respect your teacher."


    "After I teach you, you must respect this slap."


    "This slap is to teach you to... "Uh, forget it, I gave it to you."


    "I don''t like the way you look at the rest of the slaps. I want to slap you."


    Lin Tian smoked the youth as his mouth constantly muttered something.


    The youth''s eyes were about to split open as he stared at Lin Tian, but if he wanted to retreat, it would be impossible. Lin Tian''s figure was like a shadow, tightly sticking to him like a shadow, unable to escape.


    Moreover, that youth originally wanted to make a move on Lin Tian. But just now, he continuously sent out a few palm strikes. However, he did not touch Lin Tian at all. All of them were dodged by Lin Tian.


    But he was unable to get rid of Lin Tian. Instead, he was constantly slapped by Lin Tian.


    Pah pah pah, pah pah pah." The more Lin Tian fought, the more energy he had, but after so long, he was also a bit tired.


    Finally, after continuously slapping that youth dozens of times, Lin Tian finally stopped.


    "Alright, as your senior, I should be able to teach you more or less. I believe that you will also be able to remember the principles that I have taught you." Lin Tian looked at the youth who had been slapped until his face had changed, and nodded his head in satisfaction.


    "You, are courting death ¡­" The youth spoke these words indistinctly before fainting and falling to the ground.


    Attacking the heart in a fit of rage, coupled with the fact that Lin Tian''s attacks were indeed quite heavy, that youth was simply unable to bear it.


    "Alright, Martial Uncle Yuan, Master, please stop. I have taught this Junior Martial Brother of mine and I believe that he will never disobey his Senior Martial Brother and insult him again." Lin Tian smiled at Senior brother Yuan and said indifferently.


    "Oh, I should be thanking you for saying this, right?" Senior brother Yuan said with a smile in anger.


    "That''s not necessary, we''re all on the same side. Senior Master Yuan, you''re too formal ¡­" Lin Tian waved his hand, but immediately added: "But if Martial Uncle Yuan, your conscience is truly not good, then there is no need to say thanks. What pill, martial arts, just give me a bit of thanks, I, am not picky ¡­ ¡­"

 C25

    Those who don''t pick, those who don''t pick ¡­


    He was thinking about how prestigious he was as a teacher of the Qingzhou School, but now, in front of so many people, he had been humiliated one after another. This was something he could not accept no matter what.


    Senior brother Yuan''s face jumped a few times before he suddenly swung his palm towards Lin Tian: "Since that''s the case, then I will help your master to teach you a lesson. I will make you be more courteous the next time you see senior brother, and don''t call him an old bastard every now and then ¡­"


    It was obvious that he remembered the address Lin Tian had given him earlier in his heart.


    "I knew you old bastard wanted to attack me." Lin Tian had already expected that Senior Brother Yuan would not be able to take this lying down, so he had made his preparations early.


    Without waiting for Senior brother Yuan to attack, Lin Tian''s figure had already retreated. The palm whistled past, but didn''t hit Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian retreated a few steps before standing still. He smiled and said to Senior brother Yuan: "This old bastard is really too much. You, a dignified teacher of the Azure Province Academy, acting against a student from a small school like me, it seems that the so called Azure Province Academy is only this much ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s gaze was cold and his words were unrelenting.


    This time, his words were loud, causing the surrounding people to cast sidelong glances at him.


    At this moment, Xiao Yunhai finally reacted. He absolutely didn''t think that this Senior Brother Yuan would be so shameless. As a senior, he shamelessly attacked a junior.


    But luckily Lin Tian had nothing to do, otherwise he would really regret it.


    At this moment, he came back to his senses and stood in front of Lin Tian, blocking his way: "Senior brother Yuan, the younger generation''s spirit of loyalty is competing, you, as an elder, actually disregarded your status and attacked a junior. You really returned all the martial arts spirit that the instructor had taught you back to the instructor ¡­"


    To him, he, a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, would not even be able to deal a single blow to a mere Qi Hai kid. Moreover, Xiao Yunhai was now standing in front of him, so it was already impossible for him to make another move.


    Moreover, if he attacked again, he would lose face.


    However, right at this moment, two people suddenly walked over from not too far away. One old and the other young.


    The old man''s cold voice drifted over, "Who is it, slandering my Azure Province Academy?"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but soon after, he clenched his fists. His face became unusually ugly: "These stinky insects are actually endless. One by one, they come to make people feel nauseous."


    However, when Xiao Yunhai saw the two people who had arrived, his gaze eased up a bit.


    This time, without waiting for Lin Tian to speak, Xiao Yunhai spoke first: "Eldest Brother, long time no see."


    Lin Tian was startled. Listening to his master''s tone, these two people were actually from the Azure Province Academy, and they even knew each other. However, this time, Xiao Yunhai''s face did not look ugly, and it seemed that they were not enemies.


    Lin Tian immediately let out a breath of relief, but something unexpected happened. The old man walked to Xiao Yunhai''s side and suddenly hugged Xiao Yunhai: "Junior Brother, long time no see ¡­"


    As the old man spoke, his face flushed red.


    Xiao Yunhai''s eyes immediately became a little red: "Eldest Brother, I ¡­"


    "Let''s not talk about anything else for now. This is my last disciple. His name is Ling Wushuang. Come, Wushuang, greet your martial uncle." The old man quickly pulled his disciple over.


    Ling Wushuang did not dare to hesitate and immediately kneeled on the ground: "Disciple Ling Wushuang greets Junior Martial Uncle."


    He could already feel Ling Wushuang''s strength, he was actually at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. Seeing that he was young, his strength was not bad, and his talent must be very high, he could not help but laugh: "Good, good, good. Eldest Senior Brother actually accepted a good disciple."


    "Little junior brother, you''ve accepted a good disciple and you even dare to speak ill of my Azure Province school. You have quite some nerves." The old man snorted.


    Lin Tian immediately understood. His previous words had made the old man somewhat unhappy. Lin Tian hurriedly walked in front of the old man and greeted: "Disciple Lin Tian greets Great Master Uncle."


    Finished speaking, he turned around and said to Ling Wushuang: "Lin Tian greets Senior Brother Ling."


    That old man snorted and ignored Lin Tian. On the other hand, Ling Wushuang returned the greeting with a friendly face.


    Xiao Yunhai knew his eldest senior brother''s temperament, and could not bear to see sand in his eyes. He could not tolerate others saying that the Azure Province Academy was not good, so he did not continue to be entangled in this topic: "Eldest senior brother, why are you here too?"


    "This boy has obtained some lucky chances, and it just so happens to be related to this phantom of the dragon gate. I brought him here to try my luck." The old man replied indifferently. Then, he continued, "Don''t be anxious yet. Wait till I ask what exactly happened."


    "Old Man Yuan, get the hell over here." The old man obviously had a bad temper. He shouted directly at Senior Brother Yuan who was standing at the side.


    The corner of Senior Brother Yuan''s mouth twitched before he walked over with a smile. "Eldest Brother, you''re here too?"


    "What happened just now?" The old man said coldly, "Speak the truth. If you dare to lie, I will skin you alive!"


    This time, without waiting for Senior brother Yuan to speak, Lin Tian stood up and told him what had happened. He did not add on the truth, so Senior brother Yuan was powerless to refute him.


    As Lin Tian finished speaking, the Eldest Senior Martial Brother''s face became more and more unsightly: "Old Brother Yuan, is what this boy said true?"


    "Eldest senior brother, listen to my explanation ¡­" Senior brother Yuan said in embarrassment.


    "Explain my ass! You, eighth brother Yuan, now that your wings have hardened, you dare to bully your junior?" The Eldest Senior Brother abruptly interrupted Senior Brother Yuan''s explanation, "Let me tell you, if you dare to bully my junior brother again, I will cripple you."


    Senior brother Yuan''s face immediately flushed red, but he didn''t dare to open his mouth in embarrassment. It was obvious that he was very afraid of this eldest senior brother.


    "Let me tell you, don''t even think about it if Master is not here anymore. You can do whatever you want, I''m not dead yet!" The aura of the eldest senior brother suddenly exploded.


    The Milky Way Realm!


    Lin Tian''s pupils shrank, the aura on that old man''s body was definitely that of a Star River Realm expert.


    This was the first time he had seen a true Star River expert. Previously, Granny Jin''s aura could only have been that of the Star River realm since she didn''t make a move. But now, this Eldest Senior Brother''s aura was that of the genuine Star River Realm!


    Senior brother Yuan''s expression also changed. He no longer dared to show even the slightest dissatisfaction. "No, no. Eldest brother, how could I bully junior brother?"


    "I don''t think you would dare. He''s already a lot of years old and is only a teacher in the Azure Province. Where did you get that feeling of superiority from?" When the Eldest Senior Brother said this, he did not give any face to that Senior Brother Yuan and said, "Scram. I will be annoyed to see you."


    "Yes, yes, yes." Senior brother Yuan did not dare to stay any longer. He picked up his disciple and left without looking back. Even the shadow of the dragon gate, which was about to open, did not intend to stay and explore.


    "Why are you still so useless?" After the Eldest Senior Brother finished lecturing that Senior Brother Yuan, he turned around and started to teach his Junior Brother a lesson.


    Xiao Yunhai also couldn''t help but bitterly smile, but didn''t intend to explain himself.


    Only the senior brother looked straight at Lin Tian: "This brat isn''t bad, he has my appetite, but this brat doesn''t seem like a disciple that you can teach. I like this, it''s simple and crude, stronger than him, so we have to kill him. If not, we have to kill him even if we can''t beat him."


    After Lin Tian heard the Eldest Senior''s "Divine Theory", he couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Kid, you''re not bad." The Eldest Senior Brother praised them a little, then turned to Xiao Yunhai and asked: "If you want to recommend disciples at that time, you should also be recommending this kid, right?"


    "En, Tian''er has now reached the Qi Hai realm, he is the most talented disciple I have ever taught." When Xiao Yunhai said this, his words were full of praise for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s heart warmed. Immediately after, the eldest senior brother spoke again: "Brat, when you enter the Azure Province Academy, don''t embarrass your master. If anything happens, come and find me. Do you remember?"


    "I''ll remember that, Uncle Master." Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head.


    Just as everyone was talking, the entire cliff suddenly began to shake violently.


    Everyone was stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, everyone suddenly reacted. Could it be that the illusory dragon gate was about to open?


    Sure enough, in the next moment, a faint shadow of a dragon door suddenly appeared on the cliff.


    "Is this the legendary illusory dragon gate?" Lin Tian looked at the illusory dragon gate and couldn''t help but sigh.


    Naturally, everyone else had also noticed this change.


    Everyone''s eyes were filled with surprise and expectation. After all, this was a rare treasure.


    The moment the illusory dragon gate opened, everyone rushed towards it.


    Just as Ling Wushuang and that Grand Master were about to rush towards the illusory dragon gate, Lin Tian suddenly stopped them.


    "Something is not right, something is not right." The instant the shadow of the dragon door opened, Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t right. As for where it was wrong, even Lin Tian couldn''t say clearly, but in short, that feeling was very wrong, extremely wrong.


    A sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart. He turned around and glanced at Yun Huang and Granny Jin. The two of them actually hesitated and didn''t directly rush over.


    This greatly confirmed Lin Tian''s guess that there was something wrong!


    Fortunately, after that Eldest Senior Brother and Ling Wushuang heard Lin Tian''s suggestion, they didn''t immediately rush up.


    The Horned Demon in his sea of consciousness once again fell into a deep sleep. No matter how he called out, he could not wake up, so he could only rely on himself.


    Lin Tian remembered that Horned Demon had said before that the metal tablet he had obtained from Old Devil Yin was the key to entering the Dragon Gate illusion.


    In other words, he needed the key to enter this dragon gate illusion. He had inadvertently obtained this iron plate, but did the people who had rushed towards the dragon gate illusion also obtain this iron plate?


    This was simply impossible. However, those people did not obtain the key, so how could they possibly enter the illusory image of the dragon gate?


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian had stopped the Eldest Senior Brother and Ling Wushuang. They also did not have the key.


    Just as Lin Tian was watching, something happened!


    As the group of experts rushed towards the illusory dragon gate, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the illusory dragon gate, enveloping everyone within.


    Some were directly sucked into the illusory dragon gate while the others were illuminated by the light and turned into white bones, before falling down the cliff.

 C26

    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Those who were not in a rush to rush towards the dragon gate immediately let out eerie gasps when they saw the scene before them.


    What ¡­ what is going on?


    How could those people be directly turned into bones after being illuminated by the light?


    Those who were the first to rush towards the illusory dragon gate were currently standing in mid-air. When they saw that the people around them had suddenly turned into eerie white bones, they immediately wanted to return. Unfortunately, it was already too late.


    That light instantly enveloped everyone.


    However, only a portion of them became bones and fell down the Immeasurable Cliff. However, even more people were absorbed into the Dragon Gate.


    This situation immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    "They''re all Golden Core Realm experts! Those who have turned into bones are all Golden Core Realm experts!" At this moment, a person standing on the cliff suddenly exclaimed.


    With his shout, everyone immediately reacted.


    It turned out that those who were struck by the light were all Golden Core Realm experts.


    Beneath the aurous core, the Qi Hai warriors and Qi Disciple warriors were completely unharmed, and were sucked into the shadow of the dragon gate.


    "So there''s a limit to the power of this shadow of the dragon gate!" The Eldest Senior Brother also came to his senses at this moment. He turned around and looked at Lin Tian with a strange expression: "Lin Tian brat, you saved my life!"


    Xiao Yunhai also had some lingering fear. He wasn''t afraid of death, but he didn''t want to die without knowing why.


    "Tian, how did you find out?" Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but ask.


    Just now when the shadow of the dragon door opened, it was Lin Tian who did his utmost to stop them, preventing them from going up.


    "I don''t know. I just feel very uneasy." As for why he had this kind of feeling, as for why the others didn''t, Lin Tian guessed that it was because he had the dragon blood inheritance and had some sort of connection with the dragon gate, so he had given him a warning in his heart.


    Xiao Yunhai frowned. Lin Tian''s words were a bit too far-fetched, but seeing that Lin Tian didn''t seem to be lying, Xiao Yunhai didn''t continue to question him.


    The Eldest Senior Brother''s eyes flickered a few times, but he did not say anything.


    After knowing that there was a limit to the strength of the illusory dragon gate, the other Aurous Core stage experts also gave up on trying to investigate the illusory dragon gate. Although the illusory dragon gate was good, it still needed to have a life to explore.


    They didn''t want to come to this place, so they turned into a pile of dried up bones and buried underneath the Immeasurable Cliff.


    However, this way, those Mortal Realm martial artists were the happiest. Without a Jindan Stage expert entering, they might be able to find even more treasures within the shadow of the dragon gate.


    Without any hesitation, the Mortal Realm and Qi Hai warriors rushed to the front, afraid that they would fall behind.


    Just as Ling Wushuang was about to rush over, Lin Tian once again stopped him: "Senior Brother Ling, wait a little longer."


    Ling Wushuang was puzzled: "Junior Brother Lin, did you sense danger again?"


    "Do you have this?" Lin Tian took out the metal tablet from his bosom as he asked Ling Wushuang.


    "What, what is this?" Ling Wushuang was even more puzzled.


    "The key to the illusory dragon gate." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    However, these words completely shocked the three of them.


    "The key to the illusion of the dragon gate. What do you mean, you need the key to enter this illusion?" Ling Wushuang''s face was filled with incredulity: "But, when those people were swallowed by the shadow of the dragon gate, they might not have the key. But everyone, as long as they are not of the Aurous Core stage, they were all swallowed by the shadow of the dragon gate ¡­"


    As soon as Ling Wushuang finished his words, that shadow of the dragon gate started to shake.


    Not long after, something happened that made everyone''s hair stand on end.


    The shadow of the dragon gate shook slightly and endless white bones gushed out in that instant. After which, they scattered all over the Immeasurable Cliff.


    Everyone was stunned, and immediately after, everyone on the cliff sucked in another breath of cold air.


    No one knew what was going on. Originally, there was a limit to one''s strength. He had rushed up to enter the illusory Dragon Gate to meet those Golden Core experts, but he had turned them into nothing.


    But now, what about those who were not of the Aurous Core stage?


    Why did they become eerie bones?


    The crowd didn''t understand. It turned out that the person who was sucked into the shadow of the dragon gate might not have entered the dragon gate. On the contrary, he might have turned into a pile of white bones and vomited out.


    Lin Tian''s heart was finally completely at ease. That''s right, his guess was right, the illusory dragon gate really did need a key. Those without a key simply couldn''t enter, and even if they did, they would only turn into bones that were spat out.


    At this time, the Eldest Senior Brother''s gaze towards Lin Tian also changed: "It looks like this boy still has some unknown secrets on him!"


    Xiao Yunhai also had a strange expression: "Tian''er, where did you get this key?"


    Lin Tian recounted the grudge between him and Old Demon Yin.


    Only then did Ling Wushuang say with some envy: "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin is truly lucky, but just now I still had to thank you for saving my life."


    Right at this moment, a young man not too far away laughed out loud and said, "That''s right. There is a limit to our strength, and we also need the key to open the dragon gate. This is the real illusion of the dragon gate. I''ll be taking my leave first."


    The young master''s voice was loud and clear, and it instantly spread across the entire cliff.


    At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that they still needed a key to enter the illusory dragon gate.


    The young man took out a metal tablet from his chest pocket and rushed towards the dragon gate.


    When the metal tablet met the shadow of the dragon door, it immediately lit up.


    The shadow of the dragon gate shook and was about to suck in the young master when a change occurred.


    An Aurous Core stage expert on the precipice made his move in that instant. Monstrous elemental energy gathered in his hand as he directed it towards that young master.


    Before the young man could react, he was already thrown off the cliff. The token was grabbed by the Aurous Core stage cultivator.


    All of this happened extremely quickly, and no one was able to react in time. By the time they could react, everyone had already become alert.


    One had to know that this was the shadow of the dragon gate, an existence that everyone who came here coveted.


    That young man was too ostentatious, which was why he suffered such a fatal blow.


    But this way, everyone knew that they needed iron plates to enter.


    But now, even those with iron plates didn''t dare to enter. They were afraid that if another powerful expert attacked them in the middle of the process, they would be killed with a single palm strike and their iron plates would be taken away.


    In an instant, the scene on the cliff suddenly became strange.


    After a while, a grey-robed man could not endure it any longer and charged straight towards the dragon gate. Countless people''s eyes immediately stared at him, experts had already been secretly gathering their strength, waiting for him to take out his command medallion before directly blowing him to death and stealing his metal medallion.


    The burly man seemed to sense the abnormality of the crowd, as he took out his metal tablet when he was just one step away from the illusory dragon gate.


    There was a flash of light on the metal plate and those experts had already made their move. Unfortunately, they had gathered too far and the big guy seemed to have planned everything. A light shot out from the shadow of the dragon door and directly sucked the big guy in.


    Those Aurous Core stage experts who wanted to take action were a step too slow. The burly man had successfully entered the illusory image of the dragon gate.


    Seeing that someone had succeeded, the other people with iron tablets also wanted to give it a try.


    Before long, there were already over a dozen people trying to enter the illusory dragon gate.


    However, half of them had gone in by luck, while the other half had died at the hands of those Golden Core Realm experts who had been waiting for an opportunity.


    He had just seen the methods of dozens of people entering, and now, he already had a general idea of how they would do it. Also, with Xiao Yunhai and that Grand Master Uncle here to help him suppress the array, he naturally did not need to be afraid of anyone suddenly attacking him.


    Master Uncle is a Star River Realm expert, who would dare touch him?


    "Everyone, this is my junior nephew. Please be magnanimous and do not make things difficult for him when he enters. If you make things difficult for him, you will only make things difficult for me. I will have to ask everyone for guidance." Master Uncle''s aura suddenly exploded.


    "Star River Realm?" Someone exclaimed.


    The other Aurous Core stage experts'' expressions were also a little ugly. They had been quietly clenching their hands, but now they had let go. A Star River stage expert was not someone they could afford to provoke. If they really met with the misfortune of a Star River stage expert, they would not be able to walk out of this cliff.


    Lin Tian nodded his head, turned around and rushed towards the dragon gate.


    With Uncle Master watching over them, no one dared to lay their hands on Lin Tianyun.


    When Lin Tian Tie revealed his plate, the shadow of the dragon gate immediately shot out a ray of light. The monstrous light instantly wrapped around Lin Tian.


    But right at this moment, Yun Huang who was originally standing in the distance and looking at Lin Tian, suddenly moved.


    Her figure flew and she instantly arrived in front of Lin Tian. She didn''t hesitate and directly grabbed onto Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was startled, but just at this moment, a light flashed and the two of them disappeared into the illusory image of the dragon gate.


    Xiao Yunhai and the master''s uncle were both shocked. They clearly didn''t think that Yun Huang would actually have such a trick up his sleeve.


    However, by the time they reacted, Yun Huang and Lin Tian had already disappeared within the illusory dragon gate. Even if they wanted to attack, it was already too late.


    On the other hand, Granny Jin was secretly sweating for Yun Huang, they did not have that metal plate, so Yun Huang decided to enter together with Lin Tian. The reason she stood there without moving was because she was waiting for Lin Tian to make his move.


    Fortunately, the two of them went in safely.


    Granny Jin secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "I hope Miss''s guess is correct. However, that kid is not bad. He seems to be much better than those popinjays in the family ¡­"


    Lin Tian and Yun Huang''s methods were also imitated by countless people, but unfortunately, other than the person with the order badge being able to enter, the person without the order badge was still unable to enter, turning into a pile of bones at the bottom of the Immeasurable Cliff.


    At this moment, Xiao Chen, who had been watching from the side, moved. However, there was something strange about it. Xiao Chen''s figure took the initiative to enter the illusory image of the Dragon Gate, not be absorbed by it.


    Before long, the illusory dragon gate began shaking once again.


    Someone exclaimed, "The illusory dragon gate is about to close."


    At this moment, dozens of figures suddenly rushed towards the illusory dragon gate. This was their last chance. If they did not enter, once the illusory dragon gate closed, even if they wanted to, they would not be able to enter.


    Some people went in, and some people didn''t. However, the shadow of the dragon gate did tremble and disappear without a trace.


    The illusory dragon gate officially closed.

 C27

    Lin Tian felt his vision blur. In the next moment, he arrived in another world.


    Yes, another world.


    The Yun Huang that was holding onto him just a moment ago had already disappeared. However, Lin Tian did not understand why Yun Huang did not have an iron plate and was still able to enter into the illusory dragon gate.


    "It''s because of the ancestral Phoenix bloodline in her body ¡­" Just at this time, in Lin Tian''s consciousness, a weak voice sounded out once again.


    Lin Tian was startled. He couldn''t help but exclaim in joy, "Hornless, you''re awake?"


    Horned Demon nodded his head and said with a hint of weakness in his voice, "There is a faint aura of a dragon in this shadow of the dragon gate. I have absorbed some of it and can basically maintain myself from falling asleep again."


    However, the moment Horned Demon said this, he turned to Lin Tian and said, "Brat, now that I have established the Divine Manor, there is no time to delay. If I do not have the nourishment from my Mental Energy, it is very possible that I will die ¡­"


    Lin Tian was greatly shocked in his heart. This was a big matter. If the Horned Demon died, to Lin Tian, it would be like losing his left and right arm and arm.


    "You tell me how to open it, and I don''t know how to open it either!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but say. To him, he didn''t even know what the Divine Manor was, let alone how to open it.


    "I''m not in a hurry right now. I feel a trace of a familiar aura. Let''s first investigate the treasure trove of this illusory dragon gate." Horned Demon shook his head and let Lin Tian first explore the treasures. Although the shadow of the dragon door wasn''t strong, the dragon aura was still there. With the support of the dragon aura, Horned Demon was not worried that he would fall into deep sleep again.


    "Alright." Moreover, he had the dragon blood with him, so it could be considered half dragon blood. The only reason he had half dragon blood was because the dragon blood in his body was still too thin, so the dragon blood was not pure.


    However, with the support of this half of the True Dragon''s bloodline, there would surely be a lot of convenience hidden within the shadow of the dragon gate. And this convenience was something that other people who entered this illusion wouldn''t have.


    The world in front of him could be said to be an illusion, because the scene in front of him didn''t seem to be real at all.


    This was a vast and vast world. The starry sky shined in the distance, and the ground beneath his feet was filled with green grass. In the distance, there were endless mountain ranges, but if one took a closer look, the mountain ranges were all shaped like dragon-shaped mountains.


    At the end of the mountain, there was an endless ocean. The sky and the sea were the same, and the light was endless. This place was filled with boundless and boundless nature''s spirit energy, to the point that Lin Tian felt that the spirit energy here was abundant, almost comparable to the Source Spirit Pool from before.


    The spirit energy in the Source Spirit Pool was formed after dozens of years or even hundreds of years under the nourishment of a high-grade Earth Spiritual Pulse. It was extremely precious and rare, but the world in front of him had spirit energy that filled the entire world.


    In fact, if it wasn''t for the dragon gate simulacrum having a time limit, this place would truly be suitable for cultivation. But right now, I don''t have enough time to search for treasures. Horned Demon seemed to have seen through Lin Tian''s thoughts. After smiling, he let Lin Tian rush towards the distant mountain ranges.


    Along the way, Horned Demon continued to introduce, "It''s not too much to say that this place is an illusion. After all, this dragon gate phantom is only a shadow of the dragon gate. What is reflected here is the dragon race''s Divine Kingdom."


    "Dragon race''s Divine Kingdom?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised.


    "To put it bluntly, it is the place where the dragon race lives." Horned Demon replied blandly before introducing, "This piece of land is the coiling dragon''s territory. The sky is the wyvern''s territory. The sea is the flood dragon''s territory ¡­"


    "So, the dragon clan''s Divine Kingdom, depending on the territory, naturally has different treasures hidden within it." So, the dragon clan''s Divine Kingdom, depending on the territory, naturally has different treasures hidden within it, and the dragon gate phantom has a part of the true power of the dragon clan.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. After the introduction of Horned Demon, he had a whole new understanding of the place.


    As he rapidly headed towards the mountain range, he observed his surroundings. The number of people who had entered the illusory dragon gate was no less than fifty. Moreover, there were definitely people that were much stronger than him.


    Lin was still vigilant enough. In this place, he had to be careful.


    However, Lin Tian had also asked Yun Huang why he was able to enter with the help of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline, but the reason was unclear, it was just that the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline had some special points, and if Lin Tian''s bloodline essence was pure enough, he would naturally not be able to enter with the help of the metal tablet.


    Lin Tian kept on flying and before long, he arrived in front of the mountain range.


    "Follow this mountain road and head up." Horned Demon was instructing Lin Tian on the path he should follow.


    Along the way, they didn''t really meet anyone else, but they did encounter a few Spirit Severing Tree Demons, blocking Lin Tian''s way. However, Horned Dragon said a few words to the Tree Demoness in Dragon language, and she let him through.


    "What treasure do you want me to find?" Lin Tian was a bit puzzled. When he hadn''t come to this mountain just now, Lin Tian still hadn''t discovered anything strange about this mountain. But once he went up this mountain, Lin Tian discovered something different.


    This mountain was actually a dead mountain!


    The reason why it was called the Dead Mountain was because on the way here, they didn''t find anything alive, except for the Tree Demons that had reached the Exquisite Realm at the foot of the mountain.


    This mountain was barren and filled with an aura of decay and decline. That was why Lin Tian asked this question.


    Horned Demon didn''t answer and just kept urging Lin Tian to climb up.


    The higher he went, the more Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t quite right. If it was said that this mountain was just barren and there wasn''t anything strange about it, then right now, Lin Tian felt that something was off.


    Traveling to the waist of the mountain, Lin Tian already felt a difference. This mountain was actually filled with traces of faintly discernible death aura!


    That''s right, it was an aura of death. In addition, miasma permeated the air and a thick fog covered the sky. When they reached the middle of the mountain, the entire mountain was filled with a terrifying aura of death.


    "Brat, activate the power of your Qi and blood. This miasma and death aura can''t do anything to you. Otherwise, even if this miasma can''t kill you, it would damage your cultivation." Horned Demon looked at the miasma fog that filled the sky. His tone had the intent of saying that he hadn''t seen it in a long time.


    Lin Tian did as he was told. When his blood energy rushed out of his body, it indeed completely dispersed the miasma.


    Without the invasion of the miasma, Lin Tian did not stop for even a moment on the road. In almost a moment, he arrived at the mountain peak.


    Against Lin Tian''s expectations, Lin Tian had originally thought that the concentration of miasma death aura would increase according to the height of the mountain, but he didn''t expect it to be the opposite. Upon reaching the peak of the mountain, not even the slightest bit of miasma death aura would be present.


    Lin Tian was even more astonished. He didn''t understand how such a situation could have occurred.


    "This is the theory behind the Heavenly Dao Circulation. It is to come back from the dead." Horned Demon indifferently said. Then, he pointed towards a distant green mountain peak and said, "That''s it. Go there. There is something that both you and I need."


    Lin Tian did not have a shred of doubt nor did he hesitate as he hurried into the distance.


    The mountain ranges here were one after another. Lin Tian had just taken a look around and discovered that this mountain range was no less than one and it just so happened to have nine mountain peaks.


    The nine mountain peaks were not the same, but there were some that were green and emerald in color. However, there were some that were abnormally desolate. For example, the mountain peak that Lin Tian had climbed just now.


    If he observed carefully, he would have discovered that although the nine peaks were different, each peak had a large tree like that. However, he could still see that the trees on the other peaks did not have any fruits, but on the tree in the middle peak, there were many abnormally bright red fruits.


    Right now, Lin Tian wanted to rush over there.


    Just as he was about to reach the peak, Lin Tian suddenly felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    "There''s the sound of fighting!" Lin Tian''s perception was astonishing. Although he hadn''t reached the peak of the mountain yet, he could still hear the faint sounds of fighting.


    He originally thought that he was fast enough with the guidance of the Horned Demon. However, he didn''t expect that there was still someone who was faster than him and was about to get there first.


    Lin Tian slowed down his speed. He didn''t know the strength of those people, so if he rashly rushed forward, he was afraid he would suffer a loss.


    "Damn you, Zhang Feng!" As he gradually approached the mountain peak, Lin Tian suddenly heard this sentence.


    "Li Liang, you can''t blame me for this, since these fruits are growing in the illusory image of the dragon gate, they must be extraordinary, and there are only three of them! Although you were the one who found them first, why did you possess two of them? It was another voice.


    Lin Tian''s eyes flashed as he approached the mountain peak step by step. At this moment, he could clearly see that there were only two people on the mountain peak. One of them was already half-kneeling on the ground and his lips were dark green and purple.


    The other man took the two fruits from the man''s hand with a vicious smile.


    The fruit was incomparably bright red and it emitted a faint red light. From a glance, one could tell that it wasn''t a low level spirit fruit. At the very least, it was a pretty good heavenly treasure.


    However, he had not imagined that there would only be three fruits on such a huge tree. Besides, all three fruits were in the hands of that man who had called him Zhang Feng.


    Lin Tian''s face did not change as he quietly approached the mountain peak, waiting for Zhang Feng to let his guard down and take the fruit from his hands in one go.


    However, the person called Li Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat. With the help of a huge rock on the mountain, he hid his body. He didn''t think that Li Liang''s perception was also that amazing. Before he could even get close to them, Li Liang had discovered him.


    "Li Liang, stop trying to scare us. There''s only the two of us here. Where''s the third person?" That guy called Zhang Feng sneered and said, "Don''t worry, I will send you to the Western Paradise when the effects of the Heart Slaughtering Needle fully take effect!"

 C28

    "Zhang Feng, it''s easy for you to kill me, but it''s difficult for you to leave this place. Just now, I felt someone was coming. Do you believe me?" Li Liang''s voice had a hint of coldness to it.


    Hearing Li Liang''s words, Zhang Feng was slightly surprised. This fruit was not an ordinary fruit; otherwise, he would not have tried to harm Li Liang.


    "You didn''t lie to me?" Zhang Feng was confident in his Murdering Heart Needle and thought that Li Liang didn''t know how to play tricks. Out of worry, he still asked.


    "Now that I''ve been hit by your Murderous Heart Needle and my life is in your hands, what good is there in me lying to you?" "That person was here just now. He must have seen us and hid himself. However, this mountain peak is flat and can''t be hidden at all. He must have been hiding himself under some huge rock. It''s up to you whether you want to believe it or not."


    The more Li Liang said it, the more doubtful Zhang Feng was. He could not help but walk towards a huge rock not far away.


    He hid under the huge rock and heard Zhang Feng''s footsteps getting closer and closer. The Essence in Lin Tian''s body also surged and gathered in his hand, waiting for Zhang Feng to come over. He must kill Zhang Feng in one strike and take away the three fruits in his hands.


    However, at this moment, Zhang Feng suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back. It turned out that Li Liang had suddenly burst out and directly rushed towards Zhang Feng.


    "I knew you had a suspicious nature. I don''t know if there were people who came, but if you want me to die, then just die with me." Li Liang roared at Zhang Feng with a sinister look in his eyes.


    However, under his full strength collision, Zhang Feng didn''t even have time to dodge as the fruit in his hand was instantly thrown away. At the same time, the two of them hugged each other as they tumbled down the mountain.


    When the two of them rolled down to the bottom of the mountain, a crack suddenly appeared on the mountain peak. It astonishingly appeared as an abyss, directly swallowing the two of them. The two of them did not even have the time to scream before they fell into the abyss of the mountain.


    Lin Tian was dazed for a moment, but in the next moment he recovered his senses. Now was not the time to care about them. He directly flew towards the three fruits.


    The three fruits fell from Zhang Feng''s hands. Right now, as they went down the slope, they were falling at a very fast speed. Under the quick speed of Lin Tian''s hands, he could only grab two of them.


    But just as Lin Tian watched as the fruit was about to fall onto the cliff, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared. After that, a white ribbon shot out and directly wrapped around the last fruit, pulling it back.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. When he saw who it was, his face filled with shock: "Yun Huang?"


    That''s right, that beautiful figure was Yun Huang. Lin Tian did not know when Yun Huang had arrived at this place, but since that fruit had fallen into her hands, it was likely that she would not be able to take it back even if she wanted to.


    Yun Huang faintly smiled at Lin Tian, then said: "It seems that we are fated to meet again. We meet again ¡­"


    Lin Tian woodenly nodded his head and said in his heart: "You really are lingering around like a ghost. I can see you everywhere ¡­ ¡­"


    The two of them had their own thoughts, so Lin Tian didn''t want to speak anymore. He kept the fruit and prepared to leave.


    However, Yun Huang suddenly called out to him, "Do you want to consume this fruit now?"


    Lin Tian then stopped and coldly said: "Does Miss Yun Huang have any advice for me?"


    "I don''t have any advice to give. I mean, if I don''t consume the fruit as soon as possible, I might lose my spirituality. When that happens, I won''t be able to fully utilize the power of the fruit. Isn''t that too much of a pity?" Yun Huang said to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was stunned. He had never thought about this question, but he naturally did not believe in Yun Huang. Instead, he asked Horned Demon in his sea of consciousness.


    However, I do not know if Yun Huang has any other intentions, but I can ask her if she said those words just now. It is obvious that she wanted to keep you, so she might as well stay and see exactly what kind of medicine she is selling.


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head as his heart began to take note of the situation. Honestly speaking, he did not have any good impressions of Yun Huang because Yun Huang knew his greatest secret. If this person were to keep the secret, sooner or later it would become a great disaster.


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "I really am preparing to refine this fruit. I wonder what happened to you, Miss Yun?"


    "I also want to ingest this fruit. Just nice. When I came here, I found a good place to hide. Why don''t you and I go and ingest it together?"


    "You really have no good intentions." Lin Tian coldly laughed in his heart, but he still agreed to Yun Huang''s request. He wanted to see just what kind of plan this Yun Huang had in mind.


    "Since that''s the case, of course it can''t be any better." Lin Tian replied indifferently before leaving with Yun Feng.


    The two of them ran all the way until they finally stopped halfway up a mountain.


    Yun Huang had always been in a place filled with wild grass, and then he smiled and said, "This is the place."


    "Here?" Lin Tian slightly froze.


    "You''ll know when you come and take a look." Yun Huang was the first to walk forward.


    Lin Tian followed behind and walked in front of Lin Tian. Only then did he discover that there was a cave in this area. It was indeed extremely concealed and overgrown weeds covered the cave entrance.


    "Come in, I''ve already checked. It''s very safe." Yun Huang gave a sweet smile.


    Lin Tian was even more vigilant, but he was not afraid. Since Yun Huang was able to enter the dragon gate simulacrum, it proved that her strength was below the Aurous Core stage. As long as Yun Huang was not in the Aurous Core stage, Lin Tian would have the power to fight her.


    "Kid, give me a fruit. This fruit has a miraculous effect on me as I recover my soul." At this time, the Horned Demon in his consciousness spoke again.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly gave it to Horned Demon. Right now, Horned Demon could always maintain his consciousness. To Lin Tian, it couldn''t be better news.


    Yun Huang did not say much. He turned around and covered the entrance of the cave as he began to meditate.


    However, Lin Tian did not. He had to be on guard against Yun Huang at all times.


    However, after waiting for a long time, Yun Huang did not have any intentions of making a move.


    "Could it be that I''ve really overthought things?" Lin Tian shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He spoke to Horned Dragon: "What is the origin of this fruit?"


    "Pagoda Fruit." "Anyways, this is a dragon''s spirit fruit, it definitely far surpasses normal heavenly treasures. Don''t think too much, take advantage of the moment and quickly refine this fruit, after refining it, it will not have much effect on your cultivation, but it can help wash your muscles and marrow, remove your mortal bones, and help you reconstruct your body. In any case, hurry up and refine it, if it''s not on the tree, the Spiritual Energy will dissipate very quickly."


    Lin Tian replied and Horned Demon did not make a sound. He must have been anxious to refine the Pagoda Fruit.


    Lin Tian saw that Yun Huang was still sitting there motionlessly, so he relaxed and sat down cross-legged to meditate. He circulated the Essence in his body to bring his body to its peak condition, as he wanted to refine the Pagoda Fruit.


    Lin Tian held the pagoda fruit in his hand and began to frantically absorb the energy within the fruit.


    Under Lin Tian''s devouring, the Pagoda Fruit instantly split into strands of energy and entered Lin Tian''s body. As the speed of devouring increased, the Pagoda Fruit no longer emitted a dazzling color and instead started to dim.


    As the effects of the Pagoda Fruit was continuously absorbed by Lin Tian, Lin Tian could also feel that within his body, an earth-shattering change was happening. Currently, his head was steaming hot and his face was also starting to turn abnormally red.


    Not long after, Lin Tian felt his body begin to soften. Moreover, the faster he absorbed, the softer his body became. In the end, his entire body seemed as if it was going to melt.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian''s body suddenly emitted waves of abnormal fishy smell. Following that, streams of filth flowed out from Lin Tian''s body.


    The filth left his body and was instantly vaporized by Lin Tian. He was reduced to ashes and completely disappeared.


    Yun Huang had also noticed Lin Tian''s change. She looked at Lin Tian with interest and did not hesitate. She had also started to refine the Pagoda Fruit.


    Lin Tian could clearly feel the changes in his body, but the speed of these changes made him feel disbelief.


    He did not expect that this pagoda was as miraculous as Horned Demon said it was. Right now, the pagoda fruit that had entered his body was actually cleansing his muscles and marrow!


    It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that it was remodeling the body.


    Very quickly, the filth within Lin Tian''s body was completely drained. His body actually began to emit waves of a clear fragrance.


    As for what exactly was wrong, Lin Tian did not know. At the beginning, Lin Tian did not care, but after a while, the feeling that something was wrong became more and more intense, until Lin Tian finally opened his eyes, the uneasiness made him feel suspicious, he had no choice but to stop cultivating, and had to check his body carefully to see if there was anything wrong. After all, he did not want to go crazy just because he was anxious to get what he wanted.


    But after checking his body''s condition, Lin Tian''s face immediately changed. At this moment, he could clearly feel that his abdomen seemed to be stifling a ball of flame. Naturally, he had an abnormal reaction that belonged to a man.


    "This is ¡­" Lin Tian was shocked, but he immediately thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and saw that Yun Huang, who was opposite him, was also refining the Pagoda Fruit. Lin Tian was so angry that he could not stop himself from roaring at Yun Huang: "Such a ruthless scheme, you actually want to use such despicable tricks to harm me!"


    Yun Huang was slightly startled, she did not seem to understand what Lin Tian meant by harming him, but in the next moment, she also felt that something was wrong.


    Her body seemed to have undergone some changes as well. At this moment, tender clouds appeared on her face as well.

 C29

    Yun Huang also immediately felt that something was off. That strange feeling came from her body as well.


    She felt her face heat up and her body soften.


    She didn''t know what was going on either. The two of them were clearly cultivating well, so why would such a situation occur?


    Lin Tian felt as if his entire body was on fire. He tore off his shirt and discovered that his body was terrifyingly red, as if it could be burned at any time.


    Lin Tian took advantage of his consciousness and continuously called out the people in his sea of consciousness.


    Horned Demon had just refined a few of the Pagoda Fruits'' medicinal effects, so his Dragon Soul had already become much more solid.


    "What''s going on?" Lin Tian forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his body and asked while panting heavily.


    "I don''t know either ¡­" Horned Demon hesitated and looked at Lin Tian and Yun Huang''s situation. He was also a bit confused.


    Lin Tian was speechless: "What exactly is this Pagoda Fruit?"


    "Oh, this is a dragon spirit fruit ¡­" At this point, Horned Demon''s face suddenly became somewhat strange. "I remember now, kid. I forgot to tell you about the use of the Pagoda Fruit."


    "What''s the effect?" Lin Tian''s breathing began to become rough.


    "It''s true that this is a dragon spirit fruit, but this is actually a spirit fruit with unique uses ¡­" Hornless'' tone was somewhat hesitant.


    "What special effect, you''re still stuttering even now, speak!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but yell at the Horned Demon.


    "This is actually... It is the dragon race''s copulation fruit. " Horned Demon hesitated for a moment and then lightly explained, "I don''t need to explain anything more to you ¡­"


    "So it was you who harmed me!" Lin Tian growled. He didn''t think that the Horned Demon would have this kind of spirit fruit for his use.


    This kind of fruit can nourish the soul. For me, it is extremely useful, but I did not say that it will let you eat it, moreover, this spirit fruit can indeed help you to cleanse your bones, your physical body is too weak, even though it has been modified with dragon blood, it is still far from the standard of a dragon''s bloodline. "Ling Chen:" ¡­ ¡­


    "Therefore, you are currently unable to endure the medicinal effects of the Pagoda Fruit." Horned Demon said indifferently, "You haven''t completely digested the effects of the Pagoda Fruit, which is why that medicinal effect is accumulating in your body right now. Moreover, within that medicinal effect, there are some unique effects ¡­"


    "You did a good job of it, didn''t you?" Otherwise, when he asked it about the medicinal effects of the Pagoda Fruit, it would not stammer. It did not mention anything about the real use of the Pagoda Fruit, but only mentioned the benefits of the Pagoda Fruit, which was why it was decided to refine the Pagoda Fruit here.


    However, since there are three of them, leaving two for you is also correct, but if you don''t see this woman here, I will definitely not let you consume this fruit right now. However, since this woman is so passionate about inviting you, I will not reject your face, so I might as well just let you come. Besides, I was just saying this for your own good. Horned Demon casually explained.


    It didn''t need to explain, and the moment it did, the anger in Lin Tian''s heart was completely ignited.


    "Sure enough, it was all part of your plan. You''re harming me!" Lin TianAo shouted out angrily.


    "Calm down, calm down, I''m doing this all for your own good. Do you know what the Ancestral Phoenix Bloodline means?" "You don''t have the blood of a True Dragon right now, but you do have the blood essence of an Ancestral Dragon. That little girl has the blood of an Ancestral Phoenix, which is rarely seen in tens of thousands of years. If you cultivate together with her, the benefits to you will be endless."


    "You said that you also refined the pagoda fruit, but why are you completely fine?" Lin Tian didn''t continue to entangle himself with Horned Demon. Things had already happened, so what he needed to think about was how to resolve this issue.


    "I am a fake dragon, and I am only a dragon spirit. I do not have a physical body. Of course, the effect of this Pagoda fruit on me is average ¡­" Hornless explained.


    "Then what should I do? Is there any solution to my current situation?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "It''s not like there''s no other way." Horned Demon said indifferently, "Cultivate with this girl. This girl''s current condition is pretty much the same as yours. With the two of you, you two can completely digest this medicinal effect. Moreover, there are many other benefits."


    "Besides this method?" Lin Tian''s voice was already a bit twisted. At this moment, he could clearly feel his current situation. The raging flames under his lower abdomen had almost broken through his reasoning.


    Moreover, that tiny bit of special medicinal effect is almost negligible. Originally, if I had not seen this little girl, I would have let you use this method. However, now that I have her, there is no need for anything. Hornless said indifferently.


    "Is this the only way?" Lin Tian asked.


    "Now, this is the only way." Horned Demon nodded and said with a profound smile, "Don''t worry, she won''t resist ¡­"


    "If I can hold on like this, can I?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before asking.


    Horned Demon shook his head and solemnly said, "If you can''t last any longer, not only can you, but that little girl can''t either. If you force her way through, then there is only one outcome, and that is that you two will both explode and die!"


    "Then what should we do!?"


    "We should all train together. What else can we do?" Horned Demon chuckled and replied without the slightest hesitation.


    Lin Tian understood what Horned Demon meant. He said it in a nice way, and said it was to cultivate together, but the truth was that he wanted to ¡­


    Lin Tian glanced at Yun Huang who was at the side. At this time, her entire body was covered in red light, between her eyebrows, there was a faint mark of a fire cloud. At this moment, her cherry lips slightly opened, making people intoxicated.


    Lin Tian looked at Yun Huang''s alluring appearance and his heart burned with a raging fire.


    However, he still bit the tip of his tongue. The blood and pain immediately brought him back to consciousness.


    "Kid, the so-called harmony between Yin and Yang and the creation of a relationship is the source of the great Dao." Kid, the harmony of Yin and Yang and the creation of a relationship are the source of the great Dao. Horned Demon couldn''t help but advise.


    "I don''t want to take advantage of others!" Lin Tian gnashed his teeth, tenaciously supporting his nearly fallen reason.


    But at this moment, waves of blood-red color also began to gradually surge up his body.


    It was true that the Pagoda fruit was a dragon''s spirit fruit, but the true function of the pagoda was the Acacia Fruit. It was extremely difficult for the dragon race to reproduce, which was why such a spirit fruit was born.


    Therefore, the more medicinal properties of the Pagoda fruit were to help the dragon race attract the opposite sex. Therefore, the medicinal properties of the fruit were more unique.


    Lin Tian still wasn''t a True Dragon bloodline, and with his mortal body, he wouldn''t be able to withstand this medicinal property.


    Yun Huang was about the same as him, the current usefulness of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline was negligible.


    The two of them originally wanted to ingest the Pagoda fruit, but it was impossible. Now, with the accumulation of medicinal energy, their bodies would explode and die sooner or later, so even if Yun Huang had the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, she would barely be able to save her life.


    Those drugs would break her meridians and destroy everything.


    "Kid, not only are you taking advantage of her, you''re saving her instead!" Horned Demon earnestly advised.


    Horned Demon didn''t want to see Lin Tian die like this. It wasn''t easy to get a descendant from the Dragon clan, now that he was dead, wouldn''t the dragon clan''s grand plan fail?


    Thinking of this, Horned Demon immediately said without hesitation, "Since you can''t humiliate yourself, then let me help you."


    The Horned Demon directly activated the medicine in Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian instantly felt the discomfort in his body increase by several times. Just now, he was barely able to rely on biting his tongue to support his body, but now, he could not hold on any longer.


    After Hornless did all that, he said another incantation to Yun Huang, and Yun Huang immediately felt her consciousness sink. She actually knew what had happened, but unfortunately, she only knew, and was completely unable to stop it.


    Right now, Yun Huang felt that something was wrong with her situation. Before her consciousness disappeared, she saw Lin Tian slowly walking over from a distance ¡­ ¡­


    "Scoundrel!" Yun Huang muttered in a low voice and completely lost consciousness.


    "Go ahead, brat. You''re lucky." Horned Demon encouraged.


    Lin Tian also felt his consciousness sink slightly, and then his body would no longer be under his control.


    Lin Tian did not stop breathing heavily. In the entire cave, at this moment, the faint fragrance of Yun Huang''s body wafted over.


    At this time, after smelling the smell, Lin Tian''s body suddenly violently trembled.


    He could feel a boiling flame igniting within his body, almost burning him to ashes. He struggled as he walked towards Yun Huang.


    In his hazy vision, Lin Tian felt Yun Huang''s body faintly emit a cool aura, which barely eased his pain a little and made him enjoy it.


    He still had a trace of clarity in his subconscious mind. He knew what he was doing, but his consciousness simply couldn''t control his body.


    Right now, the delicate fragrance of a woman was constantly being transmitted from Yun Huang''s body to his nose. In the end, it had finally extinguished the last bit of his rationality.


    Both of his eyes were scarlet red and his reason could no longer control his body. With a roar, he reached out and tore off Yun Feng''s clothes.


    At this moment, Yun Huang regained a bit of consciousness, tears immediately flowed out from the corner of her eyes.


    She already knew what had happened and what was about to happen.


    However, Lin Tian did not seem to see Yun Huang''s tears, he growled and directly pounced towards Yun Huang.


    In an instant, spring spread throughout the entire mountain cave.

 C30

    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian finally recovered his consciousness, but he felt waves of chilliness coming from his neck.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but in the next moment, he discovered that there was a dagger stopped at his neck.


    Raising his head, he suddenly saw Yun Huang whose clothes were torn staring at him unwaveringly.


    Lin Tian''s heart felt like it was on the verge of death. She was the first one to wake up. This time, it would be hard for her to escape this calamity ¡­


    "Speak, how do you want to die?" Yun Huang had obviously just cried, and the corners of her eyes were still red and swollen.


    "My life is yours." Lin Tian sighed: "If you want to kill me or cut me, please do as you will."


    Lin Tian was naturally powerless when it came to matters like these.


    Furthermore, if this happened, we cannot completely blame this boy. You should know that if you did not invite this boy to refine the pagoda fruit, such a thing would not have happened. After all, if you were to end up with such an outcome, you would have blamed all of your mistakes on this boy.


    At this moment, Horned Demon''s voice suddenly came from within the cave.


    "Who?" Yun Huang''s eyes turned cold.


    "I''m Hornless." Horned Dragon Soul Body had already drilled out from Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness, "I never thought that you would actually have the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix. Are you from the Demon Spirit Realm?"


    At this time, Horned Demon was looking down at Yun Huang and Lin Tian from above.


    Upon seeing the horned dragon, Yun Feng''s face was clearly somewhat shocked. She cried out in disbelief: "Dragon, you''re actually a True Dragon?"


    "It''s a dragon, not a real one." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "Didn''t the dragon race disappear?" Yun Huang still could not recover from her shock.


    "Looks like your phoenix bloodline knows more about this than the human bloodline, but now is not the time to discuss about this. Since you possess the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, you should know about the oath of your Ancestral Phoenix bloodline, right?" The Horned Demon interrupted Yun Huang and said to Yun Huang.


    "Of course I do." Yun Huang touched her forehead and a faint mark of a flaming cloud immediately appeared.


    "If that''s the case, then there''s more to it! This child has the blood of a True Dragon!" Hornless'' tone was calm, but when it entered Yun Huang''s ears, it was no less than a bolt out of the blue!


    "What did you say?" Yun Feng asked with disbelief written all over his face.


    "I said, this child has the blood of a True Dragon." Horned Demon replied with another sentence, then said, "I presume you know what I mean by that, right?"


    "Before this, you should have sensed something, but that was just your guess. After all, this kid''s true dragon bloodline hasn''t been completely stimulated yet, and he only possesses a trace of the dragon bloodline''s power. That''s why you want to follow this kid in and figure out his identity." Horned Demon looked at Yun Huang and said.


    Yun Huang was surprised, in just a few short words, he had actually said everything that was on her mind.


    "Don''t be afraid. I know much more about the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix than any of you." Horned Demon smiled and said, "But you don''t need to guess. I''ve already told you, he has the True Dragon Bloodline."


    Yun Feng was shocked and the dagger in his hand also began to tremble.


    She muttered to herself, "Could this really be destiny?"


    Yun Phoenix was from the Divine Phoenix Clan and the only person left with a pure descendant of the Ancestral Phoenix Clan.


    They were passed down from generation to generation, just for a mission.


    That mission was to find the True Dragon Bloodline and use it as a cauldron for the True Dragon to be born.


    Yun Huang did not believe that there existed a person with the bloodline of a True Dragon in this world at all.


    But when he arrived, Yun Huang was surprised to feel the difference from Lin Tian.


    This feeling was very much like the blood of a True Dragon, but it was also very faint. Yun Huang did not dare confirm that he did not have the blood of a True Dragon, which was why Yun Feng had made up his mind.


    This was also the reason why Yun Feng had invited Lin Tian to cultivate in this place. A descendant of the True Dragon bloodline and a descendant of the Divine Phoenix bloodline, there was a natural reaction. As long as there was enough time, Yun Feng was sure that she could uncover the secrets on Lin Tian''s body.


    However, before she could even investigate Lin Tian''s identity, something like this happened and the dragon soul that suddenly appeared actually said that Lin Tian was a True Dragon bloodline. How could this not shock Yun Huang?


    "Little girl, I know you don''t quite believe me now, but you''ll know in the future, and this brat is trying to save you. Although you have the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, you won''t be able to withstand the power of this fruit, and it is very possible that your body will explode because of it. Even if you don''t die, your tendons will break, and you will become a cripple. Seeing the change in Yun Huang''s expression, Horned Demon could not help but advise.


    "He''s a rapist!" Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian, gritting his teeth as he spoke.


    "If you say it like that, then I won''t say anymore. You can kill him. However, when the time comes, he will go against your ancestor''s teachings. That will be your own matter." Horned Demon faintly smiled and did not continue persuading him. Instead, he went back into Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness.


    Returning to the Horned Demon Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness, he could not help but smile at Lin Tian: "Kid, how do you feel right now?"


    "What is the teachings of their ancestors?" Lin Tian curiously asked.


    "Why are you asking so many questions? However, the moment I say it, I don''t think that the little girl will kill you ¡­" Horned Demon indifferently replied and didn''t say anything else.


    Lin Tian rolled his eyes at Hornless, but he was indeed in the wrong this time, so even though Yun Huang had placed the dagger against his neck, Lin Tian did not resist.


    After being silent for a long time, Lin Tian then calmly said to Yun Huang: "If you want to kill me in the future, I will have no complaints, but can you wait until after I leave this dragon gate simulacrum, there will still be a person in my family. After I finish explaining to him what happened, I will go find you and let you kill me."


    "Scoundrel, no matter how you put it, you are still a scoundrel." Yun Huang said coldly.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but soon after, his face became gloomy: "Miss Yun Huang, can you not call me a pervert? If you did not call me here to ingest the Pagoda fruit, then what would have happened? Now that it has happened, you are putting all your blame on me, for this matter, to be honest, you are asking for it yourself! Who allowed you to get close to me with ill intentions? "


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but become extremely angry at what Yun Huang called a pervert and responded with a few words.


    Yun Huang''s expression immediately became even more unsightly. The hand she was using to wield the dagger also began to violently tremble: "You, you beast!"


    Lin Tian straightforwardly ignored Yun Huang. Yun Huang''s hand that was holding the dagger trembled, but in the end, she did not do anything to Lin Tian.


    That Ancestral Cult had still affected her. She couldn''t do anything about it.


    While the two of them were in a stalemate, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave.


    "Come quickly, come quickly. I never thought that there would be such a hidden cave here. We just happen to be resting here for a while ¡­" Following the sound of footsteps, a wave of voices could be heard.


    Lin Tian and Yun Huang were shocked, they never thought that someone would come at this time.


    Yun Huang and Lin Tian were both in untidy clothes and were currently busy arranging their clothes. Especially Yun Huang, she had already heard it earlier and the person who spoke was a man''s voice.


    "Yo, there''s actually someone inside, and it''s a pair of a dog and a boy?" At this moment, a person had already entered the cave.


    He could feel the strength of the person who came, but was only around the 9th level of Qi Cultivating Stage. According to Lin Tian''s current strength, he could almost kill him with one palm.


    Lin Tian''s expression immediately became cold: "If you don''t want to die, then scram!"


    That person was slightly startled. Then, his expression turned cold: "Little bastard, you know who you''re talking to ¡­"


    "Bam!" With a loud noise, that person was blasted out of the cave by Lin Tian''s palm. His last ''words'' never left his mouth, and he died on the spot.


    At the ninth level of Qi Cultivating, there was no way he could withstand a single blow from Lin Tian''s Good Fortune Fist.


    After so many days of bitter cultivation, Lin Tian''s mastery of the Great Fortune Fist had already reached the Dominating Refinement realm.


    The first move of the Great Manifestation Fist had been completely mastered by him. Now, he could start to practice the second move of the Great Manifestation Fist.


    "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother!" Just at this moment, the sound of a group of people shouting came from outside.


    Obviously, the person who had entered at the beginning wasn''t alone. Rather, it was a group of people.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, everyone rushed into the cave.


    Lin Tian looked over and once again a total of six people came in.


    These six people were all Qi Hai warriors.


    Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with a cold light.


    The leader''s gaze was dark and ruthless as he stared at Lin Tian: "Brat, it was you who killed my seventh brother?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian did not waste any more words and directly admitted it.


    "Even if my seventh brother provoked you, there''s no need for you to kill him right? I didn''t expect you to be so merciless ¡­"


    "Cut the crap. Either you all get out now, or you all will be the same as the person who just came in!" Lin Tian impatiently interrupted that person''s words. The matter between him and Yun Huang had not been resolved yet and he had no time to waste on this group of people. It was a complete waste of time.


    "Brat, I think you''re courting death!" One of the six people was angered by Lin Tian''s attitude and directly attacked Lin Tian. A palm wrapped in surging Essence instantly shot towards Lin Tian.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" The Essence in Lin Tian''s body instantly gathered into his own hand, and then he threw a palm towards that person.


    "Bam!" A deafening sound rang out as the man was forced back several steps before he regained his balance.


    "He''s also at the Qi Hai realm?" That person was shocked in his heart. He didn''t think that Lin Tian would already have broken through to the Qi Hai realm at such a young age.


    "Boss, the idea hit, let''s attack together!" The man turned around and said to the people behind him.


    "Alright!" The few of them immediately rushed over. At this moment, they saw Yun Huang who was hiding at the side and watching them with cold eyes.


    "So it''s a private meeting between a man and a woman. This woman is pretty. The man killed her, but the woman stayed for the brothers to play with!" the leader shouted.


    The group of people immediately became excited as they crazily charged at Lin Tian.

 C31

    "How reckless." Lin Tian''s gaze was cold. The Great Destiny Fist punched out again and again. Not long after, Lin Tian already continuously punched out dozens of times.


    Out of the six people present, each one of them had received seven or eight punches from Lin Tian.


    Although the six of them were all Qi Hai warriors, most of them were only at the first and second level of the Qi Hai realm. The strongest man was only at the third level of the Qi Hai realm.


    His strength wasn''t too different from Lin Tian''s, but Lin Tian''s body''s strength, as well as his cultivation technique, were many times stronger than these people.


    With this kind of strength, Lin Tian actually didn''t feel any pressure when fighting against these six people alone.


    "This kid''s fist isn''t much, but his body is quite strong." The person in the lead immediately discovered Lin Tian''s strangeness.


    Lin Tian''s Great Creation Fist smashed into their bodies, but they didn''t feel how strong Lin Tian''s fist was. However, when their fist landed on Lin Tian''s body, Lin Tian did not have any reaction. The power of the fist landed on Lin Tian''s body and was completely unable to injure Lin Tian.


    In a short period of time, Lin Tian was actually able to tie with the six of them.


    Weird, this kid is too weird!


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly gave a strange smile. The six people saw Lin Tian''s strange smile and thought that Lin Tian had some sort of scheme. Just as they were about to retreat, Lin Tian indifferently said: "Explode for me!"


    The next moment, along with the sound of exploding air, the screams of the six people instantly rang out.


    They discovered in terror that they didn''t know when, but Lin Tian had already left countless strands of hidden strength on their bodies. At this moment, the hidden strength suddenly exploded out, heavily injuring all of them.


    "Brat, you tricked us!" The leader screamed.


    Just now, he had left almost seven to eight punches behind each of them. Each punch contained nine punches of power, and if this fist power were to explode out in an instant, no one would be able to withstand it.


    "Don''t, don''t kill us, we are from Black Wind Ridge!" Seeing Lin Tian walk towards them, one of the six people''s eyes were filled with fear. He said who he was and hoped to scare Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian did not even blink as he sent the person flying with a kick. That person was directly kicked out of the cave by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had heard of the Black Wind Ridge before. It was a power within the adjacent Heavenly Thunder City and it was not small, but Lin Tian did not care. When facing enemies, he had never been merciful.


    "What else do you have to say for yourself? If you have anything useful to say, stay behind. If you have nothing else to say, go down and accompany them." Lin Tian coldly said.


    "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me, I know a secret treasure ¡­" Seeing Lin Tian''s face filled with killing intent, one person finally couldn''t take it anymore and shouted at Lin Tian.


    "Very good." Lin Tian lightly nodded his head and directly attacked and killed everyone other than that person in one move.


    After finishing everything, Lin Tian then walked in front of that person and indifferently smiled: "Alright, tell me all the secrets you know."


    The six of them had followed Lin Tian in. Up until now, they had probably already explored a portion of the area. This was also the reason why Lin Tian had left a living person behind.


    If he knew the secret location of the treasures, Lin Tian would save quite a bit of effort.


    "I said, can you not kill me?" The person asked Lin Tian with a face full of fear.


    "Then go to hell." Lin Tian faintly smiled as his Essence gathered. In the next moment, he seemed to be about to attack that person.


    "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me, I''ll talk!" That person finally realized that this young man in front of him was a devil. Although he was young, he was extremely vicious and merciless.


    "We brothers found an isolated island beside the sea area. There seems to be a teleportation formation there, but we were unable to pass through the sea, so we wanted to find some trees on the mountain to make a raft and explore the island ¡­" That person said with a tone full of regret, "We initially discovered that there was a cave here and wanted to rest here, but we didn''t expect that ¡­"


    "You didn''t expect to meet me?" Lin Tian faintly smiled: "This isn''t a secret. Sorry, I wasn''t able to successfully attract you."


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly killed that person with one palm. To be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself. Lin Tian never held back when treating the enemy.


    After taking care of these people, Lin Tian turned around and saw Yun Huang staring at him.


    Seeing Yun Huang right now, Lin Tian felt a headache. Originally he had only wanted to explore the treasure, who knew that this would happen?


    "Yun Huang, I ¡­" Lin Tian was about to say something.


    Yun Huang suddenly interrupted him: "Don''t say anymore, your life, can only be left for now. But remember, your life, is mine."


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "This life of mine is yours. I promise you, if you want to take it at any time, feel free to come and take it."


    Lin Tian felt even more guilty towards this matter. If he remembered correctly, it should be her first time ¡­


    To an enemy, Lin Tian could directly blast her to death with one fist, but to her, Lin Tian really didn''t know what to do.


    But after hesitating for a while, Lin Tian still asked: "I''m preparing to explore that island that they talked about. What do you plan to do?"


    "I-I''ll go with you." Yun Huang replied without hesitation.


    Lin Tian was startled, then bitterly smiled. This was ¡­ Lying on him?


    "Looks like this little girl isn''t giving up." Just as Lin Tian was feeling a bit helpless, the Horned Demon in his sea of consciousness spoke again.


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian was somewhat suspicious.


    "I told her that you had a True Dragon Bloodline, and because of that, you were able to keep your little life. But clearly, she didn''t completely believe my words, and that''s why she proposed to stay with you. Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "Then what should we do?" Lin Tian was startled, if she found out that he was not a True Dragon Bloodline, wouldn''t that mean he would lose his life, he didn''t want to die yet ¡­.


    "Don''t worry, how could a descendant with the blood essence of an Ancestral Dragon not be a True Dragon?" "However, the purity of your blood essence is not high enough, but she should not be able to find out. Once you consume the Pagoda Fruit, the medicinal strength of the fruit has yet to be completely absorbed, and once you completely absorb all the accumulated medicinal strength of the fruit, you will be able to once again cleanse the bones, purify the blood vessels in your body, and remove the mortal embryo from your body. At that time, you will be able to absorb even more of the blood essence of the ancestor.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. Without hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the cave, heading straight towards the place that the person had said. As expected, Yun Huang followed right after him.


    Lin Tian followed the route that the person just mentioned and indeed, very quickly discovered that sea area and also found the island they were talking about.


    At this time, Lin Tian also realized that if he wanted to pass through this sea area to get to the island, it was impossible. Unless, he could fly ¡­


    But right now, Lin Tian was only at the Qi Hai realm. Only by reaching the Aurous Core stage could the Essence Qi in his body be converted into Yuan Power, allowing him to fly through the air. But right now, Lin Tian was only at the Qi Hai realm, it was impossible for him to fly through the air.


    While he was at a loss, Lin Tian discovered that Yun Huang was mumbling an incantation. Not long later, a change occurred and two transparent wings appeared from Yun Huang''s lower abdomen.


    "This..." Lin Tian was slightly startled as he did not expect Yun Huang to have this kind of ability.


    Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian, then said indifferently: "In a while, catch me, I''ll fly you over."


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and then blankly nodded his head.


    Yun Feng chanted an incantation and something even stranger happened. With a shake of his wings, Yun Feng''s body was pulled out of the ground and floated in the air.


    This was the first time Lin Tian actually had a person who could fly.


    "What are you still standing there for? The illusory dragon gate has a time limit. Don''t you want to continue searching for treasures?" Yun Huang looked down at Lin Tian who was stunned, and could not help but remind him.


    "Oh." Lin Tian immediately regained his senses, he immediately flew up and hugged Yun Huang.


    Lin Tian, who had just hugged Yun Huang, suddenly felt a soft sensation from his hands.


    "Lin Tian!" Yun Feng''s voice suddenly screamed: "I will kill you!"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. Only now did he realize that he had grabbed the wrong place, and he immediately retracted his hand, and once again hugged onto Yun Huang''s lower abdomen: "Sorry, I ¡­ "I..."


    Lin Tian stammered to the point of being unable to speak.


    Yun Huang''s face also became abnormally red, but she had no other choice. She couldn''t just throw Lin Tian off right now right?


    "Scoundrel." Yun Huang said snappily towards Lin Tian, and without further ado, he flew straight towards the lone island.


    Lin Tian also finally understood why that person said there was a teleportation array here.


    That was because when one looked from the sky, they could clearly see the energy fluctuations from the island. It was clearly the fluctuation of a formation. Since there was a formation here, it could only be a teleportation formation.


    "Horned Demon, where do you think the teleportation formation on that island will be sent to?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Dragon Palace." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "Dragon Palace?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. He hadn''t thought that it would actually lead to the Dragon Palace''s transmission array.


    "The dragon palace is the true treasure cave of the dragon clan." Horned Demon also said with some emotion, "I hope we can find a good item during this trip to the Dragon Palace. The most important thing for you is to hurry up and open your Divine Palace."


    This kind of opportunity was really hard to come by. Taking advantage of the opening of the illusory dragon gate, he hoped to be able to find a powerful treasure. One must know that the situation he was about to face was very likely to be pursued by King Yongan, Luo Lie.


    Before long, Yun Huang had already flown to the island with Lin Tian.


    As soon as he arrived on the island, Lin Tian felt an extremely strong suction force. He and Yun Huang''s bodies sank and fell into the island''s Teleportation Formation.


    The strange thing was, that teleportation formation turned out to be a gigantic whirlpool.

 C32

    The whirlpool of teleportation array quickly spun and in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian and Yun Huang were engulfed within.


    Lin Tian was a bit shocked in his heart, but it was impossible for him to open his eyes in the whirlpool. By the time he had adapted to the energy in the whirlpool, it would already be impossible to find Yun Huang''s figure.


    His consciousness spun, and when Lin Tian woke up again, he had already arrived at another place.


    "Where is this place?" Lin Tian looked at the imposing palace in front of him and his heart was filled with shock.


    "Welcome to the Dragon Palace, boy." Horned Demon looked at the palace in front of him and said to Lin Tian with a tinge of emotion.


    "This is the Dragon Palace?" Surprised, Lin Tian opened his mouth and carefully sized up the palace in front of him.


    At this moment, a magnificent and golden palace stood before his eyes. Around the palace, there were blue barriers that covered the entire palace. At the same time, jade-blue seawater was reverberating outside the barrier.


    "Are we at the bottom of the sea?" Lu Fan''s eyes were filled with surprise. The Dragon Palace was actually at the bottom of the sea.


    "Yes, it''s at the bottom of the sea." Horned Demon nodded and said, "Don''t just stand there. Go in and see what good stuff we can get from this Dragon Palace."


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly walked into the Dragon Palace.


    The moment he stepped into the Dragon Palace, Lin Tian felt as if he had come to another world.


    The outside of the Dragon Palace looked dazzling and magnificent, but once he entered, it was hard for Lin Tian to accept that there were actually many spiraling caves inside.


    It was dark, dark, and damp, the opposite of the vast palace outside.


    Lin Tian looked around, trying to find Yun Huang''s figure.


    But Horned Demon opened his mouth and dispelled his thought, "Brat, there''s no need to look, you can''t find it, in the Dragon Palace, there are three thousand big holes, eight hundred small holes, in the Dragon Palace, it is already complicated and the power of the teleportation circle is random, that is to say, no one knows where the little girl was teleported to, you definitely can''t find her here, it is strange that you can find her ¡­"


    "..." Lin Tian was speechless. Without thinking about it any further, he directly entered a cave.


    Of course, it was the path that Hornless indicated.


    After all, this was the Dragon Palace. Although the Horned Dragon was a fake, at least it was a dragon race.


    "In the Dragon Palace, there are traps everywhere. There are 3000 big holes and almost half of them are fake. There is nothing inside other than a dead end and countless traps, waiting for blind people to enter." As Lin Tian walked, he listened to Hornless.


    "Therefore, choosing a cave is still very important."


    Along the way, Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "Where does this cave lead to?"


    "Dragon Palace''s Treasure Vault." Horned Demon replied with an indifferent tone, "Normally, the Treasure Pavilion and Weapon Pavilion are located in the big hole. In the small hole, most of the things stored are ancient books, martial arts, cultivation techniques, and the like."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and continued charging forward, but as he flew along the way, Lin Tian also discovered something wrong. It seemed like someone had already come here, because Lin Tian could clearly see rows and rows of footprints of different sizes.


    However, just thinking about it made him understand.


    There were at least dozens of people who entered the shadow of the dragon gate, so it was likely that a lot of people had already discovered this island. However, they had a way to cross the sea, arrive at this island, and enter this place through a teleportation formation, unlike the seven unlucky bastards who were killed by Lin Tian, they had no way to cross the sea and actually wanted to go up the mountain and cut down wood to make bamboo rafts.


    Lin Tian shook his head and no longer thought about it. He quickly ran into the cave.


    Not long after, Lin Tian suddenly heard a burst of intense fighting sounds from in front of him.


    Lin Tian immediately slowed down his pace. Sure enough, there was someone who arrived at the cave before him.


    "Put down the gun in your hand. Otherwise, don''t blame us for being impolite." A rough voice sounded.


    Lin Tian followed the voice as he restrained his own aura.


    "If you have the ability, then come and get it!" Another voice rang out.


    "Boss, why are you wasting your breath on him? Just directly kill him off!"


    "Bang, bang, bang." "Boom, boom, boom."


    The sound of another intense battle rang out.


    It turned out that a group of people were surrounding and attacking a young, thin, and weak man. That man was doing his best to resist, but it was a pity that his two fists couldn''t fight against four hands, and he was continuously being pushed back.


    But at this time, Lin Tian also clearly saw that in the thin man''s hand was a completely dark green spirit spear.


    "Dragon Scale Spear?" At this time, in his consciousness, Horned Demon''s voice sounded again.


    "Brat, prepare to attack! Take that spear back. With that dragon scale spear, your combat strength will increase by at least ten times!" Horned Demon said to Lin Tian.


    "Ten times, are you sure?" Lin Tian was a bit incredulous. With just a spear, his battle strength could be increased by ten times. That was a bit too terrifying.


    "Of course I''m certain. Furthermore, only you are able to unleash a hundred percent of the dragon scale spear''s might. If it were to fall into someone else''s hands, it would be a waste." Hornless explained.


    "Alright, let''s do it!" Lin Tian silently circulated the Essence in his body, adjusting his condition to its peak.


    "Boss, someone''s coming!" At this time, one of the group of people suddenly called out.


    "What a strong perception!" Lin Tian looked at the person who had just spoken with some astonishment. It turned out to be an elegant Young Master.


    "What kind of perception is this? He''s a Symbol Master and has already established his own Divine Manor. Once you open your Divine Manor, you can do the same!" There was a trace of disdain in Hornless'' voice.


    "Brat, find an opportunity to kill that Symbol Master first. He can attack your Sea of Consciousness. Once your soul is damaged, even if you have great ability, you will not be able to use it. You will probably die here." Horned Demon couldn''t help but remind them.


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat and he no longer hesitated.


    Since he had been exposed, there was no need for him to hide anymore. He had to strike first to gain the upper hand!


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already rushed in front of everyone. He punched the Symbol Master with his Great Destiny Fist.


    Everyone was startled. They never thought that this kid would actually be so fast.


    "Protect Ol ''Three!" The next moment, the boss''s voice rang out.


    The crowd frantically attacked at once. In a moment, five people''s palms and fists were thrown towards Lin Tian.


    He had already felt the strength of these people, but they were all below the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. With this level of strength, Lin Tian wasn''t too worried, with his current physical strength, he didn''t need to worry about their attacks.


    Lin Tian did not dodge and directly rushed forward.


    The accumulated strength of the Great Development Fist was unparalleled as it punched towards the Symbol Master.


    And it seemed that the Symbol Master Young Master wanted to know that he would definitely come for him today. The corner of his mouth slightly moved and in an instant, a transparent arrow flew directly towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian saw it clearly. It was a transparent arrow.


    He wanted to dodge, but the arrow''s speed was too fast, so fast that Lin Tian couldn''t react in time. The arrow already pierced through the air and pierced into Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian only felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness and his mind instantly went blank.


    "What''s going on?" Lin Tian was shocked and angry at the same time.


    But just at that moment, Lin Tian''s fist had already exploded out.


    The Symbol Master Young Master''s strength was clearly very weak, Lin Tian had actually sent the Young Master flying with a single punch.


    But at the same time, the surrounding people''s power had already landed a punch on Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s body''s strength was able to help him withstand a large portion of the power, but there was still a portion of it. Lin Tian''s physical body was also unable to block it. With so many people working together, Lin Tian was still slightly injured.


    However, these injuries weren''t serious and Lin Tian could completely endure them.


    But the pain in Lin Tian''s head was a little hard for him to bear.


    "Explode!" Lin Tian forcefully endured the tearing pain in his mind as he quietly yelled out one word.


    The force behind his Great Destiny Fist was completely detonated by him.


    The Symbol Master Young Master didn''t even have the strength to retaliate; he only let out a blood-curdling scream before falling to the side, dying.


    It was also at this moment that the skinny young master, who had been attacked by the crowd earlier, took the opportunity to escape.


    He was still holding the dragon scale spear in his hand.


    Lin Tian''s goal was the Dragon Scale Spear and not to fight with these people, so Lin Tian no longer cared about the people behind him. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his head, and directly charged out.


    At this moment, the group of people behind him had also rushed in front of the Symbol Master Young Master.


    "Third Bro, third Bro!" Lin Tian crazily sprinted, the boss''s tearing roar coming from behind him.


    "We must kill this little bastard and avenge our third brother!"


    The people behind him immediately moved out, crazily chasing after Lin Tian.


    "Just what is this power ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s face was terrifyingly pale. After all, the attack from the Symbol Master Young Master just now had injured his sea of consciousness.


    "This is the attacking power of a Symbol Master, an attack that comes from Mental Energy." Horned Demon replied, "Brat, I''ve been telling you to quickly open up the Divine Manor. Have you felt how powerful this Symbol Master''s strength is?!"


    Lin Tian shook his head. In his sea of consciousness, there were waves of needle-like pain.


    "It''s fine, kid. The kid with the dragon scale spear has entered a dead end. Don''t worry, it won''t be long before he comes back by himself." Horned Demon couldn''t help but laugh as he saw the young master with the spirit spear charge into a large hole.


    "Right now, you should just stay here and recuperate. Try to stimulate the dragon blood in your body. With the nourishment of the dragon blood''s power, it''s a pity that it will greatly reduce your pain." Horned Demon said to Lin Tian.


    "Alright." Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly hid behind an extremely concealed large hole. He began to urge his whirlpool of dantian.


    Indeed, not long after, the whirlpool of Dantian began to circulate and waves of warm current began to quickly flow into Lin Tian''s body. The pain within Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness was greatly reduced.

 C33

    Not long after, just as Hornless had said, that skinny Young Noble drilled into a large hole, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original path.


    However, what was slightly different was that when the thin young master returned, he was followed by a group of extremely terrifying creatures. They were tall and mighty stone men. At this moment, those stone men were crazily chasing the thin young master.


    "It''s Shi Gui. Hurry up and go, boy." Hornless'' voice became anxious.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and quickly rushed over. He grabbed the thin and weak young master, turned around, and ran towards another large hole.


    Behind him, the stone puppets came surging over like the tidewater, crazily trampling over the entire cave and letting out rumbling sounds. They chased after Lin Tian and the skinny young master.


    Lin Tian turned left and right, dodging the stone men''s chase, and the people who had come to kill Lin Tian were now completely exposed under the stone puppets, not waiting for them to react, the stone puppet had already stomped over. They did not even have time to scream before they were turned into a pile of meat paste.


    Lin Tian turned around to look and couldn''t help but feel his scalp go numb. He couldn''t help but ask: "Hornless, what the hell is this thing?"


    "These are spirit stone puppets created by the Dragon clan. There are three thousand big holes in the Dragon Palace, and more than half of them are dead ends. There are all kinds of traps and traps inside." Horned Demon explained, "This spirit stone puppet is actually one of those mechanisms."


    Lin Tian did not ask any more questions and dragged the thin and weak young master with him as he desperately rushed forward until he reached a large, safe hole. Only then did Lin Tian stop his steps.


    The rumbling sounds behind him gradually grew further and further away. The puppets were no longer able to catch up to him.


    The thin and weak young master had clearly just been frightened a bit, only now did he come back to his senses. At this moment, he was looking at Lin Tian with a vigilant face, afraid that Lin Tian would snatch the spear from his hands.


    "Take it out. I saved your life, so how about you repay me with this spear?" Lin Tian didn''t hesitate. He had originally come for this Dragonscale Spear.


    When he was chased by the Spirit Stone puppets just now, he was the one who had saved the thin young master in front of him. With this calculated, Lin Tian had saved his life and was originally prepared to directly take it away from him, but now that he saw this weak young master was truly pitiful, he only wanted to take it away and hope that this person would know and give him back the kindness of his life.


    "So you also did this for the spirit spear in my hand. If I had known earlier, why did you save me? Why did you let me die because of that spirit stone puppet? Wasn''t this spear yours?" The thin and weak young master coldly looked at Lin Tian and then coldly said two words: "Hypocrite."


    Lin Tian faintly smiled, but he was not angry: "If I was truly hypocritical, I would not have said those words to you."


    As Lin Tian looked at this thin and weak young master, he felt a bit strange in his heart. This young master''s appearance was a bit too good-looking.


    He didn''t look like a man at all. At this moment, his lips were rosy, and he looked so bright ¡­


    When Lin Tian thought of this, he couldn''t help but bitterly laugh: "What am I thinking? I actually have this kind of thought about a man?"


    "Why are you staring at me?" The skinny young master became even angrier as his face reddened, "I''m a man, what do you want?"


    Lin Tian waved his hand: "Relax, relax. I''m not interested in men. I''m only interested in the spear in your hand ¡­ ¡­"


    The thin man immediately gripped the spirit spear tightly in his hand. "This is used to save lives. Even if you kill me, I still wouldn''t be able to give it to you ¡­"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he shook his head: "Brother, you better not force me. I don''t want to attack you, but I must have this spear. Worst case scenario, I can use any condition to exchange it with you ¡­"


    "Can you exchange for my mother''s life?" The skinny young master sneered and then said: "If you want this spiritual spear, you first have to kill me ¡­"


    "If that''s the case, then I won''t be polite!" Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. He did not have the time to waste on this person and directly took action.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" Lin Tian punched towards the skinny Young Master.


    The thin and weak young master never thought that Lin Tian would attack as soon as he said this. He didn''t even have time to react before being punched by Lin Tian.


    "Pfft." The thin young master''s body was directly sent flying and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His strength was only at the 8th Qi Cultivating Stage and was not Lin Tian''s opponent.


    For some reason, when facing others, Lin Tian would immediately kill them and be quick about it. He would absolutely not treat his enemies mercifully, but towards this thin and weak young master in front of him, Lin Tian did not have any thoughts of killing him.


    He couldn''t bring himself to kill.


    That skinny young master''s face was filled with despair. Right now, he was stubbornly staring at Lin Tian. That gaze caused Lin Tian''s heart to tremble, but Lin Tian still took the dragon scale spear.


    "This gun is indeed of great use to me. Brother, I''m sorry ¡­" Lin Tian sighed.


    The skinny young master gave a pitiful smile, "You took it away, so it means you took away my mother''s life. You can kill me too ¡­"


    Lin Tian muttered to himself for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly saw the bulge on the thin young master''s chest. He was slightly startled and then said in surprise: "You''re a girl?"


    "Kill me!" That skinny young master, no, it was that woman who pleaded in a low voice.


    "Brother, oh, no. Little girl, you can tell me what happened after all. Perhaps this one might be able to help you." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before saying.


    He did not understand what this gun had to do with his mother''s life.


    "The people from Black Wind Ridge captured my mother. They want me to take out a treasure in exchange for my mother''s life." The girl''s face was currently filled with sadness as she looked at Lin Tian with hatred. That gaze seemed as if she wanted to pull out Lin Tian''s tendons and skin.


    "Black Winds Ridge?" Lin Tian slightly hesitated, "This name is very familiar, where have I heard it before?"


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something. Didn''t the seven people he killed before mean that they were from Black Winds Ridge?


    Could it be that there was some sort of relationship between the two?


    "To tell you the truth, I just happened to kill seven people from Black Winds Ridge. Could it be, the people I killed are in the same group as the ones you mentioned?" Lin Tian Deng asked.


    "What did you say?" The woman was obviously stunned for a moment before asking suspiciously, "You killed the people from Black Winds Ridge?"


    Lin Tian nodded his head and told the girl everything that had just happened.


    It only concealed what had happened between him and Yun Huang.


    The woman''s expression changed from astonishment to shock. With disbelief written all over her face, she asked, "You really killed the people from Black Wind Ridge?"


    "Of course." Lin Tian nodded his head: "If Miss doesn''t believe me, when we leave this place, Miss can come with me to check the corpses of those people. Their corpses are still in the cave."


    When the woman heard Lin Tian''s words, she immediately believed him a bit. After all, she knew that the people from Black Wind Ridge had also come to this shadow of the dragon gate.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "Miss, what exactly is going on. Can you explain it to me clearly?"


    Only then did the girl tell Lin Tian the whole story.


    So it turned out that Black Wind Ridge was a bandit group led by the seven people Lin Tian had killed. Their main target was Sky Dragon City and the Sky Thunder City which was near Sky Dragon City.


    This woman was one of the people from the Heavenly Thunder City. Her name was Li Wan''er, and she was one of the people from the Lee family in the Heavenly Thunder City.


    Li Wan''er''s father had died a long time ago, and only her mother was able to support Li Wan''er''s family, so she had not fallen yet. Not long ago, when her mother was escorting the medicinal ingredients, she was kidnapped by the people from Black Wind Ridge, and she asked the Li family to take all their belongings to redeem her mother.


    Her second uncle was going to usurp the position of the Li family''s Patriarch. Before, when her mother was still here, her second uncle was ready to make a move, but now that her mother was no longer around, her second uncle didn''t have to worry about anything anymore.


    Li Wan''er had no choice but to go to Black Wind Ridge to negotiate. The conditions that the people of Black Wind Ridge put forward were very simple: either exchange Li Wan''er for her mother, or find a spirit treasure or a genius treasure to exchange for.


    When Lin Tian heard this, he understood that the people from Black Wind Ridge must have taken a fancy to the Li family''s medicine pills, which was why they attacked the Li family. As for the two conditions Li Wan''er proposed, the latter was completely impossible, it was clear that they had taken a fancy to Li Wan''er, which was why they asked to find a spirit treasure or a genius earth treasure.


    How could Li Wan''er be able to find things like Soul Treasures and Genius Earthly Treasures?


    The people in Black Wind Ridge probably didn''t believe that a weak girl like Li Wan''er could find a spirit treasure or a genius treasure, so they let Li Wan''er search for it boldly and set a date of three months. They thought that if Li Wan''er couldn''t find it, they would have to obediently come back and save their mother, so they agreed.


    However, they really didn''t think that Li Wan''er would actually find this Dragonscale Spear in the shadow of the dragon gate.


    Li Wan''er dressed up as a man and came to the Green Cliff Mountain to search for a genius treasure, but she did not expect to accidentally find a token that allowed her to enter the illusory dragon gate. In the end, she really did enter and obtained the dragon scale spear.


    But from Lin Tian''s point of view, even if Li Wan''er took the dragon scale spear, she wouldn''t be able to get her mother back. Instead, she wouldn''t be able to keep her mother''s gun, and she would have to stay in Black Wind Ridge to end up like this.


    One had to know, those people from Black Wind Ridge were all bandits. How could they have any kind of integrity?


    This Li Wan''er wasn''t that deep into the world and didn''t know how dangerous it was for her to think that she could save his mother''s life just by obtaining the Dragon Scale Spear ¡­


    But now, Li Wan''er didn''t need to worry. Above Black Wind Ridge, the seven leading people had already become ghosts under Lin Tian''s hands ¡­


    Lin Tian shook his head. This sort of coincidence was truly inconceivable.

 C34

    But at this moment, the hornless figure in his sea of consciousness throbbed non-stop. Lin Tian was slightly startled.


    Horned Demon''s voice had already sounded out, "Brat, I feel a familiar aura. Quickly leave, there''s something good here!"


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate anymore and directly said to Li Wan''er: "Miss, I still have things to do, so I won''t talk to you anymore. Protect yourself well, once we''re done with the illusory dragon gate, you can stay in Sky Dragon City.


    Li Wan''er was slightly startled. "I, how can I believe you ¡­"


    Lin Tian didn''t have enough time to say more: "Don''t worry young lady, I will definitely do what I say. I''m called Lin Tian, remember my name ¡­ ¡­"


    With Lin Tian''s current strength, it wasn''t difficult to help Li Wan''er save her mother and take back her family business. The seven big bosses of Black Wind Ridge had all died by Lin Tian''s hands, so the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals were much easier to deal with.


    Most importantly, there was still some time before the agreement between Li Wan''er and the disciples of Black Wind Ridge could be made. There was no need to rush.


    On the contrary, exploring the treasures of the Dragon Palace was the most urgent matter. Lin Tian still had a powerful enemy in Sky Dragon City, the Yongan Emperor, Luo Lie. Lin Tian had killed his son, so Luo Lie would definitely not let this matter rest.


    So right now, Lin Tian urgently wanted to increase his own strength. Only at that time would he be able to deal with Luo Lie''s revenge.


    Lin Tian turned around and left, but Li Wan''er said a few words in a low voice: "Lin Tian, Lin Tian ¡­ Tian ¡­"


    She silently said a few words, then secretly took note of the name Lin Tian.


    Under the guidance of the Horned Demon, Lin Tian crazily shuttled through the cave, continuously communicating with the Horned Demon along the way.


    "What is it?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "I''m not too sure either, but there''s definitely an aura here that I''m very familiar with. Actually, to be more precise, there should be an aura that makes my heart palpitate ¡­" Horned Demon said with a grave expression.


    "The aura that makes your heart palpitate, what kind of thing would that be?" This was the Dragon Palace, even if Horned Demon was a fake dragon, it was impossible for him to feel fear towards his family''s things ¡­.


    "Kid, increase your speed." Horned Demon did not answer Lin Tian''s question and instead urged Lin Tian to continue increasing his speed.


    Lin Tian did not dare to be careless. This was the first time he heard Horned Demon using such a serious tone towards him.


    But just as Lin Tian crazily sped up his speed to fly forward.


    At this moment, Yun Feng had quietly arrived in front of Li Wan''er.


    "You, who are you?" Li Wan''er looked at Yun Huang who was approaching her step by step with a vigilant expression, "I don''t have any treasures on me!"


    "What did that person tell you just now?" Yun Huang asked gently.


    Actually, Yun Huang had been following Lin Tian the entire time, the terrifying aspect of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline had been completely unleashed. The true dragon blood in Lin Tian''s body was not pure enough, so he was unable to sense where Yun Huang was, but Yun Huang was able to sense where Lin Tian was.


    Before, the two of them were both blown away by the whirlpool of the Teleportation Array. However, Yun Huang relied on her perception to catch up to Lin Tian.


    When I first saw Lin Tian, it was just when Lin Tian and Li Wan''er were communicating.


    Yun Huang saw Lin Tian make a move on Li Wan''er and even snatch the Dragon Scale Spear from Li Wan''er''s hands.


    At that time, even though Yun Huang was incomparable rage, in the end, she still held back her impulse to attack.


    Actually, it was hard for Yun Huang to understand his current feelings. Ever since he had that entangled relationship with Lin Tian, from time to time, Lin Tian''s figure would always pop up in his mind.


    And what was even more terrifying was that ever since the two of them met each other yesterday, Yun Huang had discovered that his bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix had actually become even purer and stronger.


    Not only that, she seemed to have a very subtle connection with Lin Tian and Yun Feng did not know why this happened. The only explanation was that the descendant of the Divine Phoenix bloodline and the True Dragon bloodline had a natural reaction after fusing with each other.


    And at this time, in Yun Huang''s mind, the only thing she could not get rid of was Lin Tian''s figure.


    Yun Huang urgently wanted to understand Lin Tian, wanted to know what kind of person he was, which was why he had followed Lin Tian and secretly observed him.


    Li Wan''er did not know about the relationship between Lin Tian and Yun Huang, so she naturally could not tell her what Yun Huang had just told her.


    But just as he was about to open his mouth and refuse, Yun Huang opened her mouth once again: "I''m his fiancee, I need to understand him. Tell me, what did he do to you just now?"


    Yun Huang was not so slow on the uptake. As a woman, she could tell with a glance that Li Wan''er was a woman disguised as a man.


    Li Wan''er was startled. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. She did not continue to hide it and told Yun Huang everything that had happened.


    After Yun Huang heard this, he was slightly surprised, he never thought that Lin Tian actually had such a helpful side.


    This at least proved that Lin Tian was not a bloodthirsty person who was easy to kill. After all, at the start of the cave, Lin Tian did not hold back at all and directly killed the seven people from Black Wind Ridge.


    With an idea in mind, Yun Huang did not ask any further questions. He turned around and left, leaving behind only a single sentence: "Don''t tell him that I asked you a question ¡­"


    Li Wan''er felt a bit disappointed. She couldn''t help but mutter, "So ¡­ so it turns out that he already has a fiancee ¡­"


    When Li Wan''er said this, there was a hint of disappointment in her tone. She didn''t even realize it herself.


    At this moment, Yun Huang said in her heart: "It looks like, he isn''t an evil person ¡­" But then, he seemed to have thought of something. "He''s just a pervert!"


    In Yun Huang''s heart, he was afraid that Lin Tian would not be able to take off the title of a pervert in a short period of time.


    Yun Huang was no longer conflicted. Relying on the weak reaction between him and Lin Tian, he caught up to Lin Tian once again.


    Currently, Lin Tian was still continuously shuttling through the large hole. It had to be said that the Dragon Palace was truly too big. There were three thousand large holes and forks in the road.


    "Kid, leave that gun in your hand!" After turning a corner, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that there was actually another person in front of him. That person had a face full of greed as he looked at the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hands.


    "You want it?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth revealed a strange smile.


    "Of course!"


    "Take it!" Lin Tian did not hesitate as he threw the long spear towards the person in front of him.


    Monstrous Essence Qi wrapped around the long spear. Lin Tian''s figure also rushed out in that instant, instantly catching up to the long spear.


    "Brat, you sure are tactful ¡­" That person''s face was full of smiles. He did not think that Lin Tian would be so easy to talk to. He said for Lin Tian to hand over the spear and Lin Tian actually did hand it over.


    Just as he was about to receive it, Lin Tian''s figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The long spear charged at that person and in an instant, that person''s gaze froze.


    That was because the Dragon Scale Spear had already pierced through his throat. The huge impact directly nailed him onto the wall of the cave. His final expression was completely frozen in fear and disbelief.


    Lin TianAo did not even blink as he drew out his Dragon-Scaled Spear and once again madly rushed forward.


    Finally, after who knows how long, Horned Demon''s voice sounded again, "Kid, we''re here, let''s go!"


    Lin Tian was currently in an extremely narrow space, but above him was no longer the cave ceiling, but instead a blue barrier.


    Above the blue barrier was a pool of jade-blue seawater.


    Above him was the sea.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. The Dragon Scale Spear shot out like a dragon and a majestic Essence immediately smashed onto the blue barrier.


    The blue barrier wasn''t strong. On the contrary, it was extremely weak. In an instant, it was broken by the Dragon Scale Spear.


    Endless amounts of seawater immediately poured into this space, completely submerging it.


    However, when the seawater met Lin Tian, it actually took the initiative to separate.


    "Up!" Horned Demon''s voice started to tremble with excitement.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and did as he was told. A strange thing happened and just as Lin Tian was about to jump up, he discovered that the sea water under his feet immediately became layers of steps, as if to facilitate the sky above the forest.


    Lin Tian lifted his foot and walked up. He was surprised to discover that the staircase formed by the seawater was actually as if he was walking on flat land.


    As he climbed layer after layer, the current Lin Tian finally discovered that something wasn''t right. The changes came from his body.


    At this moment, the dragon blood within his body throbbed crazily. The Dragon Transformation skill that was suppressing the dragon blood also became abnormally unstable.


    Lin Tian was a little surprised in his heart, but he forcefully suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and still walked step by step above the surface of the sea.


    The trembling of the Dragon Transformation token became even more violent, and that drop of dragon blood became even more restless. This feeling was as if there was something at the front that was attracting the Dragon Transformation token and dragon blood from Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s heart was filled with horror. The Dragonize Medallion and dragon blood, these kinds of treasures were all heaven-defying treasures. But now there was actually something that could cause their shock. Just what was that thing?


    The Horned Demon also had some changes. Lin Tian could clearly see that the Horned Demon in his sea of consciousness was currently trembling?


    "Hornless is scared!" Lin Tian was extremely surprised in his heart. He wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn''t manage to.


    He knew that something that could trigger the dragon blood and the Dragon Transformation token, as well as make the Horned Demon with his current performance, was definitely not an ordinary thing. Moreover, he could feel that he was getting closer to the thing that could trigger the changes around him.


    The sea rolled, and at this moment, monstrous waves were chasing each other, splashing and making huge noises.


    Lin Tian Xin''s heart was in his throat. After rising to the surface of the sea, he was suddenly lifted up high by a wave. It was also because of this that Lin Tian saw an extremely terrifying scene.


    At this moment, countless demonic beasts were madly rushing over from all directions from the surface of the sea. At the center of the sea, there was a vortex that was very terrifying as it devoured all of the surrounding demonic beasts.


    However, the group of demonic beasts kept advancing forward and crazily charged toward the vortex. However, in the blink of an eye, they were all devoured by the vortex.


    Lin Tian blankly looked at everything in front of him. Needless to say, he also knew that underneath the whirlpool hid the secrets he wanted to know. However, what was beneath the whirlpool?

 C35

    Lin Tian stepped on the waves and silently looked at the scene in front of him.


    He also knew that there was definitely a treasure in the whirlpool, but he decided to wait until all the beasts in the water had disappeared before doing anything else.


    Those demonic beasts directly devoured the whirlpool, leaving not even their bones behind. It was an extremely terrifying scene.


    Lin Tian''s heart palpitated as he looked at everything in front of him. He couldn''t help but ask the Horned Demon: "Horned Demon, what exactly is underneath that whirlpool?"


    At this time, the Horned Dragon had already shrunk into a ball and was blankly looking at the whirlpool, as if it wasn''t listening to what Lin Tian was asking.


    Lin Tian looked at Hornless'' current appearance and was even more curious in his heart. Just what kind of thing could cause Hornless to become so terrified?


    The whirlpool in the middle of the sea kept on spinning, bringing up white waves that rose to the heavens. Within the whirlpool, in a circumference of a hundred miles, there was actually not a single Monstrous Beast.


    All the demonic beasts were engulfed by the vortex.


    At the same time, all of the people that entered the illusion of the dragon''s gate felt the ground tremble. The three thousand hole and eight hundred hole in the dragon''s palace were almost about to collapse from the vibrations.


    However, just at this moment, the entire sea began to boil. Huge waves roared in anger, and in a split-second, tens of thousands of lightning bolts suddenly descended from the sky, rushing towards the vortex in the middle of the sea.


    Lin Tian''s breathing stopped. Thunder fell from the sky, this was the punishment of the heavenly thunder!


    This thought immediately flashed through his mind. That''s right, this was the power of the Heavenly Lightning Punishment.


    What was being nurtured in that vortex must be some sort of heaven-defying object. That was the reason why it was able to attract the lightning strikes of the Heavenly Law Palace.


    However, at the moment when tens of thousands of lightning bolts descended, a sudden change occurred. The thing in the vortex seemed to be enraged by the lightning bolts in the sky. At this moment, an extremely huge Devouring Power suddenly came from the vortex and instantly, it completely swallowed the lightning in the sky.


    However, the more this happened, the more terrifying the lightning in the sky would be, and the more terrifying the power of lightning punishment in the sky would be.


    Bolts of lightning converged into a pillar and crazily smashed down on the thing inside the whirlpool.


    But just at that moment, a shocking scene happened. A terrifying chill came from the whirlpool. The overflowing power of frost instantly came out and the entire sea was instantly turned into ice.


    Even the waves that Lin Tian was stepping on had turned into an ice pillar.


    Even Lin Tian''s body was currently covered in a thick layer of ice.


    However, the next moment, the dragon-blood and Dragonize Token in his body were alarmed.


    The dantian swirl quickly rotated and a warm feeling immediately flowed through Lin Tian''s body. Not long later, a warm feeling spread through his entire body. The thick layer of ice that had formed on Lin Tian''s body had now completely disappeared.


    However, the frightful cold energy was actually able to completely freeze the bolt of lightning that was descending from the sky.


    At this moment, the lightning pillar had also turned into a terrifying icicle of thunder.


    An extremely terrifying Devouring Power suddenly erupted from within the vortex. It actually opened its mouth and swallowed the lightning pillar directly.


    The dark clouds in the sky moved in secret, but at this time they were frozen by the terrifying cold energy. Lin Tian could imagine that within the dark clouds were billions of lightning bolts, but at this time, those lightning bolts could no longer be released.


    At the same time, the vortex released a powerful Devouring Force. It opened its mouth and swallowed the black cloud.


    Thunder rumbled in the sky, but after a moment, it strangely disappeared. The dark clouds dispersed, and the thunder no longer rang out.


    Powerful like the power of the Heavenly Dao, he had actually been defeated by this whirlpool. This was something that Lin Tian felt was inconceivable.


    At the same time, the power of frost gradually faded and was once again absorbed by the vortex.


    At this time, Lin Tian finally saw clearly what was hidden in the whirlpool.


    It was an egg!


    The egg was completely silver white. Lin Tian couldn''t imagine it was this egg that triggered the Dragon Transformation token and the dragon blood in his body. It even made the Horned Demon tremble.


    But for some reason, when the egg appeared in front of Lin Tian''s eyes, Lin Tian suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. That feeling was something that even Lin Tian couldn''t say.


    "Hornless ¡­" Lin Tian wanted to ask Hornless, but at this time in his consciousness, Hornless was still curled up into a ball and still hadn''t recovered from his earlier terror.


    At this time, the egg was spinning non-stop. Not long after, the egg rushed straight at Lin Tian and entered his body.


    Lin Tian felt his lower abdomen turn cold and a chill immediately gushed out from his dantian.


    At this time, Lin Tian discovered that the egg had directly entered into Lin Tian''s whirlpool of dantian.


    At this moment, there were three things in the whirlpool in his dantian. The same dragon blood stood in the whirlpool, bright and glistening, and beside the dragon blood was the egg from earlier. The egg was emitting a terrifying energy, and from within the egg, waves of chilliness continuously flowed out, causing Lin Tian''s body to feel slightly cold.


    And in the deepest part of the whirlpool was the metal plate that he had carried for 15 years, the Dragon Transformation token!


    The Dragon Transformation token suppressed Lin Tian''s whirlpool at the deepest part of his dantian. Not long later, the light on top of the egg dimmed and he completely fell into silence.


    The cool feeling in Lin Tian''s body had now completely disappeared.


    It was also at this moment that Horned Demon finally returned to his usual state.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to ask the Horned Egg what it was, the entire sea suddenly boiled over. At the same time, several mountains in the distance also rapidly collapsed. Everyone could feel the changes within the Dragon Gate simulacrum.


    Horned Demon sighed. "Time is up, the illusory dragon gate is about to disappear ¡­"


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He had actually already been inside this illusory dragon gate for a very long time. It was just that he didn''t feel it.


    Lin Tian felt that it was a bit of a pity. Besides a few mountain ranges, Lin Tian didn''t have the time to properly explore the Dragon Palace. He didn''t think that the time would come.


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian suddenly felt his consciousness spin. In the next moment, just like the other people who entered the Dragon Gate, he was sent out. Right now, he was already at the cliff where he entered the shadow of the Dragon Gate.


    At this moment, countless experts were still standing outside. Lin Tian''s master Xiao Yunhai and his uncle master were also standing not too far away, waiting for him.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly charged forward. He did not notice in the slightest that the two women behind him were staring at him.


    One was Yun Huang and the other was Li Wan''er.


    She didn''t think that the young miss of her family had just come out and wasn''t looking for her. Instead, she was looking at the boy from before, and she understood what had happened. She had watched Yun Huang grow up, and what thoughts Yun Huang had, Granny Jin could see through it with just a glance.


    The lady must be feeling a bit confused for the boy by now ¡­


    Nanny Jin sighed but she still could not help but call out, "Miss ¡­"


    Only now did Yun Huang realize that his previous performance was a bit too obvious. Only then did he withdraw his gaze and walk in front of Granny Jin.


    However, before she could get close to Granny Jin, her expression suddenly changed.


    It seemed that something was wrong!


    "Miss, your aura..." Granny Jin immediately felt that something was amiss with Yun Huang''s body.


    Granny Jin had watched Yun Huang grow up and knew that she was the true successor of the Ancestor Phoenix. With her strength, every time she broke through, the purity of her bloodline would rise a notch, but right now, Yun Huang''s strength had not changed, but she was still in the Qi Hai realm, so how could her purity suddenly increase by so much?


    At this moment, it was as if there was a rebirth phoenix within Yun Huang''s body that was about to make its move. This was the sign that his ancestral Phoenix bloodline had been completely awakened!


    Yun Huang knew that he could not hide it from Granny Jin, but he only said that he obtained the Pagoda fruit from the shadow of the dragon gate. The reason for his transformation was entirely because of the Pagoda fruit.


    However, Yun Huang knew clearly in his heart that the reason for such a change in him, was only because he and Lin Tian were intimate with each other. The Pagoda Fruit did indeed have an effect, but the most fundamental reason was because of the fusion of the True Dragon''s bloodline and Divine Phoenix''s bloodline, allowing such a change to occur.


    When Yun Huang said this, he subconsciously looked at the nearby Lin Tian. But after Lin Tian had passed, he never turned his head back, as if he had not even noticed Yun Huang''s existence.


    "This bastard, a sex thief ¡­" Yun Huang gnashed his teeth as he looked at Lin Tian and silently cursed him in his heart. However, as if he had thought of something, his face immediately turned a strange red.


    "Since xiaojie has obtained such a treasure, we have not come all this way for nothing. Let''s go back. There are too many people here, maybe some of them will take action against us ¡­" Nanny Jin sensed that there was something wrong with Yun Huang, and directly opened her mouth to speak.


    "No!" Yun Huang rejected him immediately.


    Granny Jin was slightly surprised, she did not expect that Yun Huang would actually reject him so straightforwardly.


    "I want to stay here for a few days ¡­" Yun Huang did not explain either, but said to Granny Jin with a firm tone.


    Granny Jin let out a low sigh, but didn''t say anything else. Granny Jin knew her temper well. Since she said she wanted to stay here for a few days, she would have to wait here.


    As for who it was for, it wasn''t hard to guess from the way Yun Huang constantly scanned Lin Tian.


    However, Granny Jin''s eyes were filled with doubt. Why would the Miss suddenly be so concerned about this kid? Could it be that something happened between the two of them in the shadow of the dragon door?


    Nanny Jin''s gaze immediately flickered. No one knew what she was thinking about ¡­

 C36

    At this time, Lin Tian was hurrying towards Xiao Yunhai, his uncle master, and senior brother Ling.


    "Master, Senior Martial Uncle, Senior Martial Brother Ling." Lin Tian shouted at the three people waiting for him.


    "How was your harvest?" Seeing that Lin Tian had returned safely, Xiao Yunhai''s heart was also at ease.


    They had also waited here for two days. Actually, Xiao Yunhai was still somewhat worried about Lin Tian. After all, the existence that had entered the shadow of the dragon gate had a greater strength than Lin Tian.


    But now that Lin Tian had returned safely, he naturally wanted to ask him what he had obtained from the illusory dragon gate.


    Lin Tian simply told him some of his gains from the illusory dragon gate, concealing what had happened with Yun Huang, as well as the strange egg that he had obtained. Lin Tian didn''t even say anything about the dragon scale spear.


    It wasn''t because he was afraid of anything else, but because this wasn''t the place to speak.


    Lin Tian swept his eyes over the crowd and couldn''t help but say in a low voice: "Master, Martial Uncle, this isn''t a place to talk. Let''s leave first and talk when we get back ¡­ ¡­"


    At this moment, they could already sense that those people in the surroundings who did not manage to enter the illusory image of the dragon gate were all looking towards Lin Tian. It was just that because of Xiao Yunhai and that elder''s strength, they only dared to look, but did not dare to step forward.


    However, those people were staring at the people coming out from the illusory dragon gate with greed and bloodlust in their eyes.


    After all, that was the shadow of the dragon gate. Inside, there were countless treasures. Any one of those treasures was enough to attract them to fight for it.


    Xiao Yunhai and that great uncle both knew that there would definitely be a bloody battle here, and that this was indeed not the place to speak.


    Just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, a woman''s voice suddenly came from behind Lin Tian: "Lin Tian!"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. When he turned around to look, he saw that it was none other than the woman who had stolen the Dragonscale Spear, Li Wan''er!


    Lin Tian looked at Li Wan''er''s expression and immediately understood.


    There were dozens of people staring at Li Wan''er, because Li Wan''er was one of the members of the Dragon Gate.


    They naturally thought that Li Wan''er also had a treasure on her. Originally, Li Wan''er did have one, but it was just that it was taken away by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly pulled Li Wan''er away: "Come with us ¡­"


    Li Wan''er did not resist and let Lin Tian pull her away.


    Nearby, when Yun Huang saw this scene, her gaze turned even more angry and shameful: "Scoundrel!"


    She lightly stomped her feet and immediately followed after Lin Tian''s leaving figure.


    The surrounding people wanted to come over, but before that person could reach Yun Huang, Yun Huang lightly tapped that person and a raging fire immediately began to burn on that person''s body.


    The monstrous flames instantly engulfed him. That person did not even have the chance to cry out before he turned into ashes.


    Everyone was flabbergasted. What was this method?


    The person who was just burned to death was an expert of the eighth level of Qi Hai realm, yet he was burned to death just like that?


    The group of people immediately became silent. The people who originally wanted to come forward also immediately gave up on the idea of coming forward.


    "Humph!" Yun Huang snorted, he did not even look at the rest, and directly left the place.


    When Yun Huang left, a young man had also caught up to them.


    It was none other than the weird youth from before, Xiao Chen.


    However, no one noticed him. When they saw this young man walk out of the illusory dragon gate, everyone was immediately interested. An expert at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm blocked the path in front of him.


    "Brat, hand over the thing you got from the shadow of the dragon gate." The person was a bearded big fellow with a fiendish look on his face.


    Xiao Chen''s complexion was not good. In fact, ever since he saw Lin Tian, Xiao Chen''s complexion had never been good.


    "Scram!" Xiao Chen spat out a word coldly.


    "Yo, you little bastard, I think you''re looking for death!" The man immediately became furious and was about to punch out at Xiao Chen. However, something strange happened just as he was about to punch out at Xiao Chen.


    Xiao Chen suddenly exhaled a breath of air from his mouth.


    That breath was simply terrifying. The person felt a violent gust of astral wind blowing towards him.


    The formidable force of the astral wind was simply unable to withstand it, and his body was directly sent flying.


    At the same time, Xiao Chen caught up with him with a kick. The man immediately somersaulted in the air and flew off the cliff.


    Ah!" Screams instantly reverberated throughout the entire cliff face. The screams reverberated in the air, causing the surrounding crowd to feel a chill run down their spines.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as they heard the voice. They looked at the youth in front of them as if they were looking at a monster.


    "Just now, he only blew a breath of air?" Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty before asking with his mouth dry.


    "It seems, it seems to be ¡­" someone replied.


    Everyone was extremely shocked. Wasn''t this kid a little too terrifying? With just a single breath, he was able to knock a ninth level Qi Hai warrior off the cliff?


    "Kacha, kacha ¡­" At this moment, such a sound suddenly came from beneath everyone''s feet.


    The crowd was shocked to discover that under their feet was the area where Xiao Chen had just blown a breath of air. It actually started to crack rapidly. Before long, half of the cliff completely collapsed ¡­


    "This ¡­" Everyone was stunned. This brat in front of them was even more terrifying than that woman just now.


    The woman pointed her finger and the eighth level Qi Hai warrior was burned to death. This kid had blown a ninth level Qi Hai warrior off the cliff with a single blow.


    Moreover, he even blew away half of the cliff ¡­


    Xiao Chen coldly looked at the people around him, "Anyone else who is not afraid of death, come over and try blocking me!"


    Xiao Chen''s voice was abnormally cold. However, no one, not even those Golden Core Realm experts, dared to block Xiao Chen''s path.


    Xiao Chen did not have the time to pay attention to these people. He directly chased after Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had the protection of an Aurous Core stage cultivator. Naturally, he could leave. Xiao Chen and Yun Huang revealed shocking abilities and casually left as well.


    However, only they were able to leave so easily. As for those remaining people who had entered the dragon gate''s shadow, they wouldn''t be so lucky.


    They did not have any shocking methods, nor did they have any experts by their side. All of a sudden, they were targeted by the powerhouses that had yet to enter the illusory dragon gate.


    Lin Tian was right. This place would definitely be covered in blood. Not long after Lin Tian and the others left, an extremely intense battle erupted here.


    As Lin Tian walked, he told Xiao Yunhai and the Grand Master of his gains from the Dragon Gate simulacrum. However, after thinking about it again and again, Lin Tian never said anything about what happened between him and Yun Huang, or about the egg that he had obtained.


    Something that could cause the resonance between the Dragon Transformation token and the dragon blood, and something that could even make the Horned Demons feel fear, was definitely a heaven-shocking treasure. This kind of thing could only be a secret and only Lin Tian knew about it.


    The Dragon Scale Spear was nothing, after all Li Wan''er was there too. Lin Tian had taken it away from her, so he briefly explained to her about Li Wan''er''s situation.


    Not long after he continued walking, he walked out of the Green Cliff Mountain.


    "Friend, aren''t you tired after following me the entire way?" After exiting the Green Cliff Mountain, his uncle master was finally unable to endure it any longer.


    Along the way, he and Xiao Yunhai both felt that someone was watching them from behind. However, because it was not good for them to take action within the Green Cliff Mountain, they endured it.


    At this time, Lin Tian also learned that the name of the great uncle was Ling Tianlie. Indeed, as his name suggested, he had an extremely explosive temper.


    Lin Tian also knew that someone was following him, but when he turned around, he discovered that it was actually Yun Huang and Granny Jin.


    Xiao Yunhai also saw the two of them and immediately stopped Ling Tianlie. Although Xiao Yunhai was not too familiar with them, he knew that they did not come for Lin Tian''s treasures.


    Lin Tian also stopped Ling Tianlie. He was the clearest that Yun Huang was definitely not here for his treasure, but for his own. Who asked him to ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was the first to speak: "Miss Yunhuang, Granny Jin, I wonder if the two of you have anything else to say?"


    "What do you want?" Yun Huang laughed coldly in his heart: "Seems like the pervert is acting quite well ¡­"


    However, she only thought about it. If she said those words, wouldn''t she have to tell everyone that she had a relationship with him?


    Everyone, do not be alarmed, we do not have any malicious intentions, it is just that this is our first time here and we are worried that those people would come and cause trouble for us, so we hurriedly left. We did not intend to follow behind you, but we are not familiar with this place. Granny Jin was, after all, older than Yun Huang, so she spoke first.


    Her words were watertight, and Xiao Yunhai was not able to refuse. He simply told her about Sky Dragon City''s situation.


    Granny Jin thanked him and left with Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang obviously didn''t want to leave, but Granny Jin only said one sentence: "The future is long, we can''t force him too much. Otherwise, if that Star River Realm expert makes a move, I might not necessarily be able to defeat him ¡­"


    After Grandma Jin finished speaking, Yun Huang also knew that she couldn''t push too hard, so she left with Grandma Jin. However, when Yun Feng left, he gave Lin Tian a fierce glare.


    Lin Tian only smiled bitterly. On the other hand, Ling Tianlie, Ling Wushuang, and Xiao Yunhai all looked at Lin Tian with puzzled expressions.


    Did that girl have any conflicts with Lin Tian?


    Only Li Wan''er looked at Yun Huang, then looked at Lin Tian, as if she understood something.


    At the same time, Ling Tianlie did not have the intention to leave. After waiting for a while, a figure rushed out from within the green cliff.


    "Kid, why are you following us?" Ling Tianlie''s voice was ice-cold.


    "Xiao Chen?" Lin Tian looked at the person who came and couldn''t help but frown.

 C37

    Lin Tian did not expect that the other person behind them was Xiao Chen.


    Lin Tian waved his hand to block Ling Tian Lie who was about to attack. He walked in front of Xiao Chen and could not help but ask, "What is it?" Do you also want to ask for directions? "


    Lin Tian had a deep impression of this Xiao Chen. This was because this youth was very strange; he could blow down a mountain in one breath. This was already beyond the realm of strange, and it was even somewhat shocking.


    If he was a familiar person, Lin Tian would not find it strange. However, Xiao Chen did not know him at all, and the most important thing was that Xiao Chen was definitely not someone from Sky Dragon City. From his words, Lin Tian was able to conclude that this was Xiao Chen''s first time coming to Sky Dragon City before he arrived at Green Cliff Mountain.


    It was true that Lin Tian had a small reputation in Sky Dragon City, but it was definitely not to the extent that everyone recognized him. Most people knew his name, but they had never seen him.


    How could Xiao Chen just look at him and know that his name was Lin Tian?


    This was also something that Lin Tian did not understand the most, so Lin Tian was even more curious to know what was going on.


    "Lin Tian, I want to go with you." Xiao Chen did not waste any words as he spoke firmly to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was startled again: "Brother Xiao, we didn''t know each other before, what is the meaning of following me now?"


    "You will know ¡­" Xiao Chen did not say anything, but after thinking about it, he asked, "You, is there anyone else in your family?"


    Lin Tian immediately became vigilant. He did not expect that Xiao Chen was actually here for him. Now he still had to ask if there was anyone else in his family.


    His tone turned cold. "What are you trying to do?"


    "You, don''t misunderstand ¡­" Xiao Chen immediately understood what Lin Tian meant. He explained repeatedly: "I have a very deep relationship with you, but even if I tell you now, you might not believe me. Is there anyone else in your family? Can you bring me to see them?"


    Lin Tian looked at Xiao Chen suspiciously, as though he did not quite believe him.


    But Lin Tian didn''t ask any more questions. Right now, it was better to quickly leave this place.


    "Follow us." After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian decided to bring Xiao Chen along. There was only Uncle Yu left in the family. Lin Tian was not afraid that Xiao Chen would cause any trouble.


    Most importantly, Xiao Chen''s words from earlier made Lin Tian think of another matter, which was the story of his life.


    Previously, Uncle Yu had told him that he was an orphan that Uncle Yu had raised back then. However, ever since Lin Tian had awakened the Dragon Transformation token, Lin Tian had felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    The meaning of Xiao Chen''s words, could it be that he knew about the information regarding his own background?


    Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn''t stay calm anymore. All these years, he had always wanted to know who his parents were.


    Now might be an opportunity.


    Along the way to Sky Dragon Academy, Ling Tianlie and Ling Wushuang chose to take their leave: "Youngest junior brother, I''ve brought this disciple with me, and have stayed for a very long time already. If you don''t go back now, I''m afraid the Principal will tell you, and I won''t go in.


    Ling Tianlie''s tone carried a tinge of reluctance.


    "That''s fine. After all, eldest senior brother is still in the Azure Province Academy. It''s not good for him to stay outside for too long. You should quickly return. I won''t keep you any longer." Xiao Yunhai had also stayed in the Azure Province Institute before, so he naturally knew the rules of the school.


    "Take care, Uncle." Lin Tian also opened his mouth and said. He had a good impression of this great uncle.


    "Good boy, cultivate well. I''m sure that not long later, the Azure Province Academy will send people over. With your strength and potential, entering the Azure Province Academy right now is a guaranteed matter. Boy, I''ll be waiting for you at the Azure Province Academy." Ling Tian Lie also had high hopes for Lin Tian and could not help but encourage him.


    "Many thanks for Senior''s encouragement. Lin Tian will definitely not let down Senior''s expectations." Lin Tian solemnly nodded his head. Honestly speaking, he also yearned for the Azure Province Academy.


    "Junior brother Lin, let''s go. When you come to the Azure Continent Academy, you must remember to look for me." Ling Wushuang also smiled at Lin Tian.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    After they had finished saying their goodbyes, Ling Tianlie left with Ling Wushuang.


    Xiao Yunhai, Lin Tian, Xiao Chen and Li Wan''er directly entered the Sky Dragon Academy.


    But as soon as he entered, Lin Tian saw a disciple with a face full of anxiety guarding the door. He kept looking around as if he was waiting for someone.


    "Zhang Yi, what are you doing here?" He grew up with Lin Tian, and since his talent was not good, he did not have any talent for martial arts, so he did not train in Sky Dragon Academy, so Lin Tian became more curious, why did he come here instead of cultivating in Sky Dragon Academy?


    "Brother Tian, you''re finally back. I''ve been waiting for you for a day." When Zhang Yi saw Lin Tian, she immediately pulled Lin Tian to the side.


    "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.


    "Hurry up and run, something happened to your family!"


    Just as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Lin Tian suddenly remembered, that''s right, Luo Chen!


    When he killed Luo Chen, King Yongan, Luo Lie was not in Yongan city.


    So Lin Tian did not take it to heart, and after that, he cultivated in the Source Spirit Pool, and in the end he went to the Green Cliff Mountain without stopping.


    In this period of time, he hadn''t been able to take care of Uncle Yu and hadn''t thought about Luo Lie''s matters.


    That was because too many things had happened in the process. However, he suddenly thought of something. With Luo Chen dead, Luo Lie would definitely come find him for revenge. If he could not find him, then ¡­


    The one who would suffer would be Uncle Yu!


    Lin Tian''s eyes immediately turned blood-red. He stared at Zhang Yi and said: "Just what happened? Tell me everything ¡­ ¡­"


    Zhang Yi then told her about Luo Lie''s revenge against Uncle Yu.


    It turned out that two days ago, King Yongan, Luo Lie, had suddenly returned from outside in order to investigate the death of the young prince Luo Chen. Li Tianhai and Zhao Ba naturally told Luo Lie everything that happened that day, including how Lin Tian had killed Luo Chen and crippled them.


    Luo Lie was furious and directly brought him to the Sky Dragon Academy, but he missed. Two days ago, Lin Tian coincidentally went with Xiao Yunhai to the Green Cliff Mountain.


    Unable to find Lin Tian, Luo Lie flew into a rage and directly went to Lin Tian''s home. In Lin Tian''s home, there was only one Uncle Yu.


    Lin Tian guessed correctly, the one who suffered was precisely Uncle Yu.


    Luo Lie directly brought his men and brought Uncle Yu away, even burning Lin Tian''s house.


    However, Luo Lie searched through the entire Sky Dragon City, but couldn''t find any trace of Lin Tian. Therefore, Luo Lie directly placed a wanted poster, and right now, the entire city was looking for Lin Tian.


    "Brother Tian, you should hurry up and leave. If you don''t leave now, you''ll be discovered. There''s still plenty of space left, so there''s no need to be afraid." Zhang Yi''s face was full of anxiety as she advised Lin Tian.


    "Uncle Yu, where are you?" Currently, in Lin Tian''s eyes, fire was almost spitting out. Uncle Yu had raised him up, and even though Uncle Yu didn''t want Lin Tian to call him grandfather, in Lin Tian''s heart, he had already treated Uncle Yu like his own grandfather.


    Uncle Yu was his only family, but right now he was actually kidnapped by Luo Lie. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.


    "Uncle Yu, after Uncle Yu was taken away, I heard that Luo Lie was constantly torturing him. However, Uncle Yu didn''t say anything. In order to lure you away, Luo Lie is now hanging Uncle Yu on top of Sky Dragon City''s city gate. He''s just waiting for you to fall into his trap." Zhang Yi saw Lin Tian''s expression and was shocked.


    "I''ll go save Uncle Yu." Lin Tian''s expression was sinister and terrifying. The anger in his heart had reached its peak. Right now, he didn''t have any other thoughts in his mind. He only wanted to save Uncle Yu.


    "What''s going on?" Xiao Yunhai had long since sensed that something was wrong with Lin Tian''s expression. He immediately turned around and stopped Lin Tian who was about to leave.


    "Open, open!" At this moment, Lin Tian felt all the blood in his body boiling. His mind was filled with a bloodthirsty and murderous thought.


    Xiao Yunhai frowned, but still dodged his own body.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to rush out, Xiao Yunhai suddenly made a move and bit by bit pressed against Lin Tian''s neck. Lin Tian felt his consciousness sink before he weakly collapsed onto the ground.


    Xiao Yunhai caught Lin Tian and directly hugged him. He said to that anecdote: "Come in and let''s talk."


    After placing Lin Tian in his study, Xiao Yunhai finally heard what Zhang Yi had just said to Lin Tian.


    Xiao Yunhai also sighed. Back then, he had been in such a hurry to bring Lin Tian to the Dragon Gate simulacrum, but he had completely forgotten about his family''s matters. One must know that Lin Tian had killed Luo Lie''s only son, Luo Chen!


    Currently, Luo Lie would definitely take revenge on him. As for Uncle Yu, he was only the first step in Luo Lie''s revenge.


    Luo Lie''s strength was at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage. If it was before, Xiao Yunhai would naturally not have placed Luo Lie in his eyes. Even if Luo Lie had dared to attack Uncle Yu like this, Xiao Yunhai would have immediately stepped on his door.


    But now it was already different from the past. Not only had Xiao Yunhai''s strength not increased, he had even regressed quite a bit compared to before. The current Xiao Yunhai was simply not a match for Luo Lie.


    At that time, if he brought Lin Tian Zong, he would be unable to protect himself, and even more so, would not be able to protect Lin Tian.


    At least right now he could still protect Lin Tian.


    At most, he could send Lin Tian away tonight. After all these years, Xiao Yunhai only had a decent disciple like Lin Tian. If he died to Luo Lie, it would be too much of a pity.


    However, at this time, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Master!" Lin Tian''s voice was incomparably calm.


    "Tian, why did you wake up so quickly?" Xiao Yunhai slightly hesitated; he didn''t think that he would wake up so quickly today.


    "Master, I know what you''re thinking, but Uncle Yu is my only family, and I have no choice but to save him. If I don''t save him, I''m afraid I''ll lose my inner demons forever. There''s no meaning in living anymore!" From the moment Xiao Yunhai had stopped him, Lin Tian had already understood Xiao Yunhai''s meaning.


    "But right now, we are no match for Luo Lie. Even if we go, we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths." Xiao Yunhai sighed: "Tian''er, it''s not that Master is afraid of death, it''s that Master can''t bear to see you send yourself to your death, Master is useless ¡­"


    "Master, what kind of heavy injury did you suffer to cause your strength to drop?" Lin Tian was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.


    Xiao Yunhai was suddenly shocked: "How, how did you know?"

 C38

    "Master, can you let me check your injuries?" Lin Tian did not reply to Xiao Yunhai''s question. Instead, he spoke.


    Xiao Yunhai stared blankly again. Listening to Lin Tian''s meaning, could it be that Lin Tian also understood medicine?


    But Lin Tian was still his disciple. Xiao Yunhai naturally knew that it was impossible for Lin Tian to harm him, so he directly nodded his head.


    Lin Tian''s eyes flashed as he directly grabbed Xiao Yunhai''s pulse.


    At the same time, a faint ray of light shot out from Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness and directly entered Xiao Yunhai''s body.


    However, all of this that had just happened was not noticed by anyone. Even Xiao Yunhai himself did not sense that something had entered his body.


    Only Lin Tian was able to see what happened just now.


    Lin Tian had actually long since woken up. Although Xiao Yunhai had sealed his acupoints earlier, his body had already undergone the transformation from the Pagoda Fruit, and with the support of the dragon blood, he had long since broken through the energy sealing his acupoints. Thus, he had long since awakened.


    Although Lin Tian didn''t know what Xiao Yunhai had experienced, he knew that his master''s strength was constantly declining.


    Previously, Xiao Yunhai was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage, but now, in the past few days, he had already fallen back to the seventh level of the Aurous Core Stage!


    In just a short span of ten days, Xiao Yunhai''s strength had been pushed back a whole level. This was simply terrifying!


    He also knew that with Luo Lie''s strength, he simply wasn''t a match for him. If he wanted to save Uncle Yu, he had to rely on Xiao Yunhai''s strength.


    Actually Lin Tian had thought of other methods, but no matter if he went to look for Ling Tian Lie or Granny Jin, they were all unreliable.


    Even if he could catch up with him, Luo Lie was, after all, King Yongan, the royal family of the Tian Luo Country. The academy was established with the support of the royal family.


    As for Granny Jin, right now it was likely that Yun Feng was still hating her. Going to find Granny Jin was tantamount to bringing shame upon himself, so the only solution was still Xiao Yunhai.


    Since Horned Demon knew that Xiao Yunhai had the aura of death on him, then Horned Demon would definitely find a way to dispel it. Once Xiao Yunhai''s strength recovered and Xiao Yunhai delayed Luo Lie, Lin Tian would be able to safely save Uncle Yu.


    Otherwise, just like Xiao Yunhai had said, if he went alone, it would be suicide!


    That light just now was the strength of a Horned Demon.


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t understand medicine, but with the Horned Demon, he was able to find the cause of Xiao Yunhai''s illness.


    After an unknown amount of time, a strand of power suddenly drilled out from Xiao Yunhai''s body, and then returned to Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness.


    Lin Tian remained calm and continued to communicate with Horned Demon in his sea of consciousness: "How is it?"


    "To be honest, the death aura in your master''s body is much more serious than I thought!" Hornless'' voice had a hint of hesitation.


    Lin Tian''s heart sank: "Then, is there a way?"


    "Yes, but it''s very complicated and troublesome." Horned Demon muttered to himself.


    "Is there a simple method?" Too many complicated methods weren''t enough, so Lin Tian couldn''t wait any longer.


    "There are, but I need you to open up the Divine Palace!" He said plainly.


    "Tell me how to open up a Divine Palace?" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly asked.


    "Wait for me to finish, boy." Horned Demon unhappily said: "Even if you opened up the Divine Palace and were able to cure Xiao Yunhai, you would still be willing to pay a huge price for yourself."


    "Yes!" Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. Uncle Yu''s position in his heart was needless to say, Lin Tian was his only kin. He could not watch Uncle Yu die in front of him!


    "Fine, we''ll open up the Castrum Divinitus sooner or later anyway." Horned Demon didn''t say anymore and said, "Prepare yourself. When you open up the Divine Manor, you need to be extremely quiet, and you also need to calm your mind. Otherwise, it is very possible that you will fail."


    Horned Demon let out a sigh. He could feel that Lin Tian''s body was overflowing with anger, but to open up the Divine Manor, he needed to have an absolutely stable state of mind. He couldn''t be like this at all.


    Lin Tian nodded his head and then said to Xiao Yunhai: "Master, I''m currently in closed door cultivation. When I come out, I should be able to help you treat the injuries in your body."


    Xiao Yunhai''s face was filled with incredulity: "Tian''er, is what you said true? You can treat the injuries in my body!"


    Master, you take care of Uncle Yu for me. Luo Lie wanted to kill me, so he probably won''t do anything to Uncle Yu before he finds me. But please take care of him. "


    Xiao Yunhai directly agreed: "Don''t worry, I will help you look after it, and also help you ask for information."


    "However, how long do you need for your closed door cultivation?" Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but ask.


    "Long or short, but I will do it as soon as possible." Lin Tian also didn''t know how long it would take to open the Divine Manor, but he would definitely open it as soon as possible because time was Uncle Yu''s life.


    Xiao Yunhai nodded and did not say anything more. He directly left the room with Li Wan''er and Xiao Chen.


    This was Xiao Yunhai''s own study, located in the backyard of Sky Dragon Academy. It was extremely quiet, and was the best place to go into seclusion.


    Waiting until everyone had left, Lin Tian said to Horned Demon: "Alright, you can begin now, right?"


    Horned Demon nodded and drilled out of Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness, circling in the air.


    "Kid, before you open the Divine Palace, I want to clarify on a concept with you." Horned Demon first let Lin Tian recover his mental state, then began to explain: "The cultivation on the Sky Dragon Continent all has two cultivation methods."


    "Two?" Lin Tian was slightly taken aback. From what he knew, the Sky Dragon Continent had the highest status in martial arts. Everyone cultivated martial arts, so how could there be two cultivation methods?


    As if he knew Lin Tian''s question, Horned Demon patiently answered: "Martial arts are only one type, the other type is the symbol dao."


    "The Dao of Talismans?" Lin Tian felt that it was extremely strange.


    "The so-called Dao of talismans refers to the cultivation of spiritual energy." Hornless explained.


    "What the martial path cultivates is the physical body, and what the rune path cultivates is the soul!"


    "Whether it is elemental energy, martial arts or physical abilities, these are all martial arts. I believe you already know about them. However, there is another way to train your soul."


    "If the soul is strong, then it can also become a powerful expert. Those who specialize in cultivating the power of the soul are called Symbol Masters!" Horned Demon''s explanation greatly broadened Lin Tian''s horizons.


    But when he talked about Symbol Masters, Lin Tian''s pupils suddenly shrunk. Didn''t he just see a Symbol Master in the shadow of the Dragon Gate?


    Just by chanting a few incantations, Lin Tian could feel his own sea of consciousness being pierced by a needle. Moreover, that feeling was very terrifying, if that energy was a bit stronger, Lin Tian felt that he would directly faint to death. Even with his cultivation, he was unable to display it.


    "Correct, that is the power of a Symbol Master." Hornless said indifferently.


    "The cultivation of the Dao of Talismans is actually similar to martial arts. The cultivation of the Dao of Talismans is the cultivation of the mind, and the cultivation of martial arts is the cultivation of the spirit energy. When the strength of the spirit energy reaches a certain level, the cultivation realm will increase, and the path of talismans is the same."


    The attacks of the Dao of Talismans are the same as martial arts, but the attacks are from the body, but the attacks of the Dao of Talismans are from the soul." The attacks of the Dao of Talismans is the same as the attacks of martial arts, but the attacks of the body is the same, but the attacks of the Dao of Talismans are from the soul.


    Lin Tian nodded his head, he had basically understood what was going on.


    But Lin Tian still couldn''t help but ask: "But, what does this rune dao you''re talking about have to do with establishing the Divine Palace?"


    "I got the right answer." Horned Demon smiled and said, "The beginning of martial arts training is in the Dantian. The Dantian is where the Yuan Qi is stored, and the practice of Symbol Dao is in the Sea of Consciousness and Sea of Consciousness. They are where you store your Mental Energy."


    "You also know that when you break through from the Qi Disciple stage to the Qi Hai realm, you need to open up your Qi Sea in your Dantian, and the same goes for your Sea of Consciousness. If you want to practice Symbol Techniques, you must first open up your Palace in your Sea of Consciousness!"


    "Only after you have established your Castrum Divinitus will you be able to truly train in the Dao of talismans."


    As he spoke to here, Horned Demon continued, "After you open up the Divine Manor, it means that you can officially cultivate your spiritual energy. The reason you call this cultivation method a symbol dao is because after you open up the Divine Manor, you need to condense a Destiny Symbol. The symbol seal is the source of your power!"


    Lin Tian nodded his head, before interrupting Hornless'' long speech: "So, how do I open up the Divine Manor?"


    "The divine estate requires a secret technique to cultivate spiritual energy. Since you''re the descendant of our Dragon clan, you should train in the secret technique of our Dragon clan." Horned Demon did not hesitate as a ray of light floated out from his body and went straight into Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness.


    Waves of obscure incantations were immediately imprinted into Lin Tian''s mind.


    "The dragon race has always cultivated the martial way together, and thus, every dragon clan has this secret technique. In order to open up the Divine Manor, one would need the help of this secret technique."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and began comprehending the dragon race''s secret technique.


    "The so-called Divine Manor is the gate to the sea of consciousness. Only by opening the gate to the sea of consciousness can one obtain the treasures of the sea of consciousness, train in the Divine Soul, and have a strong spirit. Therefore, the Divine Manor is also known as the Divine Gate!" Horned Demon''s voice came again.


    Lin Tian had already completely entered into a state of cultivation.


    At this moment, an unspeakable power appeared in his sea of consciousness. This power nourished his soul, causing his heart, which was originally filled with hatred, to completely calm down.


    "Creation is natural, using Creation to make itself invisible. Creation is intangible, it is intangible, it is intangible, it is refined everywhere, it is filled with Qi, it is filled with Spirit, it is refined to form Qi, it is refined to form Spirit." Gather your soul, open your divine gate. "


    Lin Tian silently recited the chants while following the cultivation method in the chants to continuously expand his sea of consciousness.


    Continuing like this, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian once again checked his sea of consciousness. Right now he already discovered that his sea of consciousness was worthy of its name and had already completely become a sea of mental power.

 C39

    The current sea of consciousness truly deserved its name. It was a sea, a sea of spiritual force.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to be careless. He completely immersed his mind into his own consciousness and began cultivating. The Dragon Clan''s soul cultivation technique was the¡¶ Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture¡·.


    The < Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture > was a secret technique of the dragon clan, so naturally, it opened up the dragon clan''s sacred palace.


    Lin Tian followed the Dragon Soul Scripture''s instructions and began to search for the key to open the Sea of Consciousness Sect.


    The Dragon Soul Scripture said that the Sea of Consciousness was a treasure. If one wanted to open this treasure, they must open the gate to the Sea of Consciousness. The gate was the gate to the Divine Mansion mentioned by the Horned Dragon.


    Only then would he be able to cultivate his soul and talisman techniques.


    After who knows how long, Lin Tian felt a throbbing in his sea of consciousness. Endless amounts of spiritual force gathered together in that instant.


    Accompanying this change, Lin Tian felt that there was something within his sea of consciousness that was beginning to tear and wreak havoc within his sea of consciousness.


    Not long after, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that a door of light had actually formed in his sea of consciousness. Currently, all of the mental energy was crazily slamming into the door of light.


    Ah!" Lin Tian felt as if his sea of consciousness was about to explode. That kind of tearing and collision pain was not something an ordinary person could resist.


    Lin Tian was in so much pain that cold sweat poured out, but he clenched his teeth and endured. The Horned Dragon''s soul floated in the air, and when it looked at Lin Tian, it couldn''t help but nod: "This boy has some tenacity.


    It also knew how painful it would be when it opened up the Divine Palace, especially since Lin Tian''s cultivation wasn''t a secret technique that humans used to open up the Divine Palace, but rather something that belonged to the dragon clan. However, it never expected that Lin Tian would actually be able to endure it.


    No wonder the Dragon-Transformation Token was with this brat, the ancestral dragon blood essence had chosen him.


    Lin Tian felt that his own sea of consciousness was like countless ants crazily tearing at his nerves, causing him to be in so much pain that he wished he were dead.


    However, he clenched his teeth and endured it, because only by opening the Gate of God would he have the chance to heal his Master''s injuries. That way, he would be able to save Uncle Yu!


    Lin Tian clenched his teeth and resisted with all his might. Under the impact of the huge mental strength, the door of light in Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness actually gradually showed signs of loosening.


    At the same time, a change suddenly occurred. The dragon blood and egg in Lin Tian''s body started to violently tremble, as if attracted by the change in Lin Tian''s consciousness.


    The drop of bright and glistening dragon blood was currently within Lin Tian''s whirlpool of Dantian, revolving non-stop. At the same time, Lin Tian also felt the change in his Dantian. He felt that within his Dantian, there was suddenly a fire.


    The scorching, incomparably hot feeling was almost enough to burn Lin Tian to dust.


    Lin Tian''s entire body was red and boiling hot.


    As for the egg, it was not to be outdone. Waves of weak light rushed out of the egg in an instant and entered Lin Tian''s body.


    Cold!


    An ice-cold, bone-piercing feeling subconsciously spread to Lin Tian''s heart. Lin Tian once again felt that he was surrounded by ice-cold energy.


    The coldness in her body made Lin TianAo shiver.


    The test of ice and fire spread through Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian felt a wave of heat, a wave of cold, and an extremely uncomfortable feeling.


    At this moment, his face was also half ice and half fire.


    "How could this be?" Horned Demon looked at Lin Tian''s current expression and was greatly surprised in his heart. Lin Tian had only opened up the Divine Manor, how could he use the dragon blood and the egg''s power?


    "Could it be, could it be ¡­" The Horned Demon noticed that something was wrong and was about to rush into Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness.


    Within Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness, a "boom" suddenly came. The door of light was actually directly broken by the powerful Spiritual Energy within Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness.


    The door of light broke open and the Divine Manor opened. Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness shook greatly and his sea of consciousness began to shrink. Not long after, it returned to its previous size.


    However, there was one more thing in his Sea of Consciousness.


    It was a transparent soul, a smaller version of Lin Tian. Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he looked at the transparent soul and felt disbelief in his heart: "This is my soul?"


    "That''s right, this is the soul that''s hidden deep within your sea of consciousness. Only by opening the Gate of God can you see your own soul." Without knowing when, Horned Demon had already returned into Lin Tian''s sea of consciousness: "Congratulations, you have successfully established the Divine Manor. From today onwards, you can be called a Symbol Master."


    But before he finished speaking, Lin Tian felt his dantian once again shake.


    At this moment, the Dragon Transformation Token that was suppressed in the depths of his whirlpool of dantian started to shake violently.


    The moment the Dragon Transformation Token was released, the scorching heat and ice-cold feeling in Lin Tian''s body dispersed.


    The Dragon Transformation token directly flew out of Lu Fan''s body, entering his sea of consciousness.


    When Horned Demon felt the power of the Dragon Transformation Token, he was even more surprised. "This ¡­"


    "Hua!" The Dragon Transformation token suddenly spat out a transparent seal that charged towards Lin Tian''s soul. Lin Tian''s soul shook and he completely absorbed the seal.


    Not long after, Lin Tian''s soul began to have some changes. In an instant, Lin Tian''s soul once again became a dragon soul.


    But in the next moment, it changed back to Lin Tian''s appearance.


    Only, at this time, Lin Tian discovered that there was a dragon mark carved on the forehead of his soul.


    "It''s actually an Ancient Dragon Symbol!" Horned Demon''s voice rang out in an instant, his voice full of disbelief.


    It muttered to itself, "How, how is this possible, how is this possible?"


    Lin Tian had a face full of doubt. Just as he was about to ask what was going on with the Horned Demon, the Dragon Transformation token once again rushed out of Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness and returned to Lin Tian''s whirlpool dantian.


    Inside the dantian, there was the suppression from the Dragon Transformation Token. The dragon blood and egg that were ready to move were both restored to silence.


    On the other hand, Horned Demon seemed to have lost his soul as he stared unwaveringly at Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt his body become much lighter. His perception also greatly increased. Lin Tian could almost clearly hear the sound of an ant crawling outside.


    He could feel that his hearing, sense of smell, sense of touch and even reaction had become much more agile.


    And the key point was that he felt as if he had become smarter. That''s right, he had become smarter, and now, he no longer needed to comprehend the Great Destiny Fist, he had already comprehended the second move.


    Lin Tian faintly smiled: "Is this the benefit of opening up the Divine Palace?"


    After opening the Divine Manor, Lin Tian felt like he had become a completely different person.


    Seeing Horned Demon still in a daze from his own sea of consciousness, Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "What exactly is the Ancient Dragon Symbol that you speak of?"


    "Kid, are you sure you''re an orphan?" After hesitating for a moment, Hornless asked.


    Uncle Yu said that I was an orphan, but right now, I feel that there should be more secrets to my life. As for what these secrets are, I don''t know either.


    "Yes." Hornless, he nodded his head.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "Oh right, you haven''t told me how to cure my master''s injuries."


    Previously, Horned Demon had said that in order to cure Xiao Yunhai, he needed Lin Tian to open up the Divine Manor. Now that Lin Tian had successfully opened up the Divine Manor, he had to seize every moment to cure Xiao Yunhai.


    Uncle Yu was still hanging above the city gates. Lin Tian couldn''t wait.


    "Boy, right now you have already established the Divine Palace, so right now, your sea of consciousness is your Divine Palace." Horned Demon regained his senses and explained to Lin Tian: "The reason why the Sea of Consciousness before was not called the Divine Palace was because you didn''t have a Divine Soul. Right now, in the Divine Palace, you have the Divine Soul overseeing it, so you have already officially taken the first step in cultivating the Symbol Dao."


    There are two types of cultivation. One is the cultivation of Spirit power, and the other is the cultivation of the Dao of Talismans, but no matter what, opening the Divine Mansion is the first step. First, the cultivation of Spirit power.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded. What he wanted to know the most right now was how to cure Xiao Yunhai''s injuries.


    "Your master''s injuries are caused by a loss of his mental force. There is an extremely stubborn death aura in his consciousness. That death aura is constantly eroding his Sea of Consciousness. This is the most important reason why his cultivation level is constantly declining." Horned Demon explained to Lin Tian.


    "The death aura in my Sea of Consciousness?" Lin Tian''s face immediately darkened: "Who exactly is doing this to Master?"


    "I don''t know either, but to leave such an aura of death in one''s sea of consciousness, it must be something that a small force can''t do, so your master must have offended some big force." Hornless said indifferently.


    "Then what should I do?" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly asked.


    "Pull out the death aura for him." But now that you have successfully opened the Divine Palace, you can use your divine soul to enter Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness and use it to expel the death aura from his body. Without the death aura, Xiao Yunhai''s strength will naturally be restored very quickly. "


    "There''s no time to lose, we have to act now." Without hesitation, Lin Tian said. Uncle Yu''s life was at stake, so he had to hurry.


    "Mm, before, it might have been difficult for you to pull out this death aura, and even your own soul might have suffered a backlash. But now that you''ve absorbed this ancient dragon talisman, perhaps this death aura is a great opportunity for you." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "Opportunity?" Lin Tian was startled and asked again, "What exactly is the Ancient Dragon Symbol?"


    "The Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Rune." Horned Demon hesitated for a moment before he answered.


    "How could I have absorbed the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Rune?" Lin Tian''s face was full of shock. He never thought that the Ancestral Dragon''s life seal would actually be absorbed by him.


    "I don''t know either. You don''t need to ask me. Boy, I''m also very curious. Is that why I asked you if you were really an orphan?" Horned Demon was also filled with disbelief. "Perhaps your family has a close relationship with the dragon race to begin with. Otherwise, such a precious treasure like the Dragon Transformation token would be hanging around your neck since young?"


    "Forget it, let''s not worry about this for now. After I rescue Uncle Yu, I will find out about my background. Right now, the most important thing is to cure Master." Lin Tian no longer thought about the Dragon Symbol and directly went to look for Xiao Yunhai.

 C40

    "Tian, can you really cure my injuries?" Xiao Yunhai had not thought that Lin Tian would finish his closed door cultivation so quickly, and that he would need to treat his injuries.


    "Master, do you believe in me?" Lin Tian asked.


    "Of course. You''re my disciple. If I don''t believe you, who do you trust?" Xiao Yunhai replied without the slightest hesitation.


    "Alright then, Master, please let me try. I dare not say that I have a 100% chance of healing your injuries, but at least I have a 70% chance of it being healed!" Lin Tian said seriously.


    "Seventy percent?" Xiao Yunhai was originally not optimistic about his own injuries, but now that Lin Tian had actually said he had a seventy percent chance of healing his injuries!


    "Master, what''s wrong? Are you still worried about me?" "Alright, I admit it. Actually, I have a 100% confidence in winning. Master, you should be at ease now." Lin Tian thought that Xiao Yunhai was also not at ease with a 70% certainty, so he added another sentence.


    With the Primordial Dragon Tally in his hands, even if that deathly aura completely corroded Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness, it wouldn''t matter; it wouldn''t be a problem.


    "One hundred percent!" Xiao Yunhai''s complexion immediately became flushed.


    Lin Tian saw that Xiao Yunhai was not satisfied, and could not help but bitterly smile: "Master, this disciple has already told the truth. I have a hundred percent assurance that even Master does not trust me, and also does not trust me?"


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel a bit helpless.


    "No!" The excitement on Xiao Yunhai''s face was clearly expressed: "Tian''er, you didn''t intentionally lie to Master, right? Master thought that you only had a twenty to thirty percent chance of success ¡­"


    "Master is not doubting it, Master is happy!" Xiao Yunhai''s expression became even more excited.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled: "Master, don''t be happy too early. Wait until I completely cure you. No matter how happy you are, it won''t be too late."


    "Yes." Xiao Yunhai nodded.


    Returning to Xiao Yunhai''s study, Lin Tian still reminded him: "Master, my treatment method is very simple. It is to enter your sea of consciousness and pull out the death aura from your body!"


    "Hmm?" A light suddenly flashed through Xiao Yunhai''s eyes, and then he loudly laughed: "Tian''er, now that Master has completely believed it, you actually know that the injuries in my body are caused by the death aura within my sea of consciousness."


    He had been tormented by this deathly aura in his sea of consciousness for many years. Just now, Lin Tian had helped him inspect the injuries in his body, but Lin Tian had not revealed anything. Xiao Yunhai more or less did not dare to believe that Lin Tian could cure his injuries.


    But now that Lin Tian had directly mentioned the injuries in his body, it was because of the deathly aura in his sea of consciousness, Xiao Yunhai finally felt completely relieved.


    Lin Tian nodded his head, then smiled and said: "Master, you have to be ready. I''m going to start now."


    "Yes." Xiao Yunhai nodded.


    Lin Tian''s mind was immersed in his own Divine Palace, and he began to mobilize the divine soul within it. His divine soul began to sway, and before long, he rushed out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, directly charging into Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness.


    Lin Tian''s soul entered Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness and only then did he discover the terrifying part of Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness.


    At this moment, within Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness, there was a black deathly aura everywhere. Within that deathly aura, a fishy stench was currently being emitted.


    Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness was completely surrounded by that deathly aura. Not only that, that deathly aura was currently corroding Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness.


    It was no wonder that Xiao Yunhai''s strength continued to decline. With such a deathly aura corroding his sea of consciousness, it would be strange if his strength did not regress!


    But at the same time, Lin Tian also felt a wave of monstrous anger!


    "Just who is it, just who is it, to actually want to harm Xiao Yunhai in such a way, what happened to Xiao Yunhai back then!"


    Aside from Uncle Yu, Xiao Yunhai was another person who held extraordinary importance to Lin Tian. In Lin Tian''s heart, he had already treated Xiao Yunhai as his own relative.


    But now was not the time to think about such things. Things needed to be resolved one by one.


    Right now, the most important thing was to completely expel the death aura within Xiao Yunhai''s body.


    As if it had felt Lin Tian''s arrival, the deathly aura immediately rushed towards Lin Tian.


    In Lin Tian''s soul, a long arrow formed from mental energy suddenly shot out, directly piercing through that deathly aura.


    But like that, the aura of death was thoroughly angered. In that instant, the endless aura of death crazily swept over, wanting to completely engulf Lin Tian.


    However, it was also at this moment that the dragon-shaped symbol on the top of Lin Tian''s Divine Soul emitted a brilliant light, and a monstrous devouring power instantly spread outwards, frantically sweeping towards that deathly aura.


    In an instant, waves of dead energy were swallowed by Lin Tian. That dead energy entered Lin Tian''s spirit body and immediately became extremely pure mental energy that was stored inside Lin Tian''s soul body.


    Lin Tian was both surprised and happy in his heart. He never thought that the Ancient Dragon Rune would actually be so strong. It could actually directly devour this aura of death!


    At this time, he also understood why Horned Demon had said that this was an opportunity for Lin Tian. Now, he felt that this was indeed an opportunity!


    Horned Demon smiled and said, "Kid, you tasted the sweetness now? The benefits of the Ancient Dragon Symbol are yet to come. This death aura is merely an appetizer! "


    Lin Tian nodded his head. At this time, his soul body was shining brilliantly. With the support of the Ancient Dragon Rune, the boundless death aura was almost instantly swallowed into his soul.


    At the same time, Xiao Yunhai''s complexion also gradually became rosy.


    He could already feel the death qi inside the Sea of Consciousness that was tormenting him.


    The most obvious feeling was that Xiao Yunhai could feel his own strength slowly recovering.


    Overjoyed, he started to circulate the elemental energy in his body nonstop to feel the recovery of his energy.


    Not long after, Lin Tian had already completely devoured all of the dead aura. The Spirit power formed by the dead aura was currently stored in Lin Tian''s body.


    A strong mental strength filled Lin Tian''s soul body, causing his soul to become more and more solid.


    Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness was practically jet-black, a trace left behind from the long period of corrosion by the deathly aura. Lin Tian did not hesitate as the mental energy stored within his Divine Soul began to continuously nourish and repair Xiao Yunhai''s damaged sea of consciousness.


    At the same time, following the change in his sea of consciousness, Xiao Yunhai himself also began to undergo an extremely significant change.


    The wrinkled expression on Xiao Yunhai''s face had now completely disappeared, and had once again returned to its smooth and tight appearance. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu ¡­"


    At the same time, his grizzled hair had also once again turned jet-black. The vitality within Xiao Yunhai''s body had also once again recovered, and the aura around his body had also become several times stronger than before.


    Lin Tian could feel the change in Xiao Yunhai and his heart was filled with joy. Only if Xiao Yunhai''s strength was strong would Uncle Yu be able to be saved.


    Before long, Xiao Yunhai''s originally extremely damaged sea of consciousness had been completely repaired by Lin Tian.


    After finishing all of this, Lin Tian was also a bit tired. His spirit body directly returned to his own Divine Palace and he fell into a deep sleep.


    As for Xiao Yunhai, at this moment, he seemed to have completely changed. His entire aura had greatly changed, and the deathly aura that was still lingering around his body had completely disappeared. The original Xiao Yunhai was deathly still, as if he was an old man on the verge of death.


    However, the death aura in his sea of consciousness had been completely swallowed, and his sea of consciousness had also been nourished back to its original state. The next step should be for him to gradually recover his strength, and while Lin Tian silently sat at the side recovering his own strength, he was also helping Xiao Yunhai to protect him.


    After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yunhai finally fiercely opened his eyes: "Hahaha, I''ve once again returned to the Xinghe Realm!"


    Lin Tian also opened his eyes and had a smile on his face. He didn''t expect that Xiao Yunhai, who was no longer burdened by the deathly aura in his sea of consciousness, would be so strong.


    Of course, this also meant that before the death aura invaded, Xiao Yunhai''s strength was absolutely not limited to the Star River Realm!


    At the very least, he wasn''t at the first level of the Star River Realm. Xiao Yunhai''s current strength was at the first level of the Star River Realm!


    However, this level of strength was already sufficient.


    Dealing with Luo Lie was enough. As long as Xiao Yunhai was able to hold him back, saving Uncle Yu would naturally not be a difficult task.


    "Tian, I didn''t expect you to be a Symbol Master!" Xiao Yunhai was experienced and knowledgeable, so he naturally knew that the reason he was able to heal the injuries in his sea of consciousness today was because Lin Tian was a Symbol Master.


    If one wasn''t a Symbol Master, it would be impossible for them to enter the Sea of Consciousness of others.


    At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly stared at Lin Tian and sighed in his heart: "Tian''er, just how many secrets do you have on you?!"


    In the entire Sky Dragon City, there was not a single Charm Magician, but how did Lin Tian suddenly become a Charm Magician? Furthermore, back then when Lin Tian had said that his meridians and dantian had all been destroyed by Luo Chen, Xiao Yunhai had already suspected that Lin Tian had said that he had ingested a golden fruit to repair his meridians and dantian. Previously, Xiao Yunhai had still believed it, but now that Lin Tian had revealed such a move, Xiao Yunhai had no choice but to reconsider this matter.


    However, since Lin Tian was his disciple, he was only curious. If Lin Tian didn''t want to say it, Xiao Yunhai fundamentally wouldn''t force him.


    Lin Tian did not avoid his gaze at all and directly met Xiao Yunhai''s gaze: "Master, what exactly is the deathly aura in your sea of consciousness?"


    "It''s just an old story. Let''s not talk about it anymore. If I have the chance in the future, I will tell you everything. But now, isn''t it time to think about how to save Uncle Yu?" Xiao Yunhai clearly didn''t want to bring up what happened that year, so he waved his hand and changed the topic.


    Lin Tian smiled: "Since master has recovered his strength, then what do I need to think about it?"


    "Hmm?" Xiao Yunhai was slightly startled.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s voice was already transmitted over. However, there was an unspeakable gloomy and cold tone in his voice: "Of course it is. Flatten Prince Eternal An''s mansion!"


    "Alright!" Xiao Yunhai was slightly startled, but in the next moment he abruptly stood up: "Master has been quiet for so many years, it seems that everyone has forgotten that Xiao Yunhai at that time!"


    The master and disciple looked at each other and laughed. Lin Tian sneered in his heart: "King Yongan, Luo Lie, wash your neck and wait for me!"


    "Wait till I get your head!"


    The dragon had a reverse scale, touching it meant death. Uncle Yu was Lin Tian''s reverse scale, if he wanted to touch Uncle Yu, then he would die!

 C41

    There was no time to lose, especially when it was a major matter of saving someone. Xiao Yunhai and Lin Tian didn''t delay for even a moment.


    He immediately began to draw up plans and take immediate action.


    However, it was already evening. Even if Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai wanted to act now, they could only do so at night.


    It was only right that this was the case, after all, Luo Lie was the true King Yongan of Tian Luo Kingdom, and he would not let too many people know that he was going to make a move. Besides, their goal was to save Uncle Yu tonight.


    After all, the Tian Luo Royal Family was not something that Lin Tian could offend.


    Before Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai left, Lin Tian thought about it many times and decided to bring Xiao Chen along.


    Although Lin Tian was suspicious of Xiao Chen''s identity, this did not affect the fact that Xiao Chen was a very capable helper in his heart.


    Just by relying on one breath, he was able to topple a mountain. This kind of action was something even the Star River Realm experts couldn''t do.


    At this time, it was already deep into the night. The entire city gate of Sky Dragon City was hidden under the deep night sky. Only the city walls were brightly lit. At this moment, an old man was being hung on top of the city walls.


    Lin Tian looked on with bloodshot eyes. That old man was none other than Uncle Yu.


    Thinking of the torture Uncle Yu, who had raised him from a young age, had endured in the past few days, Lin Tian''s heart surged with a monstrous rage. Traces of hostility also violently surged from Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s personality was a vengeful one. It could be seen from Luo Chen''s and Jiang Ru Xue''s ending that Lin Tian would never show mercy to his enemies, or else there would be endless troubles in the future.


    Of course, to those who had helped him, Lin Tian would definitely pay back several times over. Lin Tian''s parents had only given birth to Lin Tian, but the favor of raising the child was given by Uncle Yu.


    Lin Tian couldn''t forget this kindness, so when he saw Uncle Yu being hung on the city wall like this, Lin Tian couldn''t hold back the anger in his heart. Luo Lie, Luo Lie must die!


    Xiao Yunhai also felt the hostility within Lin Tian''s body. He slightly frowned before turning his gaze to a nearby place: "Tian''er, this place is filled with ambushes. Luo Lie is here as well."


    Xiao Yunhai''s current strength was at the first level of the Star River Realm. In the entire Sky Dragon City, this kind of strength was worthy of being called the number one expert. Luo Lie was only at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    "Master, I''ll leave Luo Lie to you. Leave the rest to me!" Lin Tian''s eyes were full of viciousness.


    "Yes." Xiao Yunhai nodded and no longer suppressed the aura on his body. Immediately, a powerful aura was immediately emitted from Xiao Yunhai''s body. This was the aura of a Xinghe Realm expert.


    At this moment, in an inn not far from the city gates, Luo Lie suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Since when did experts come to Sky Dragon City?" Luo Lie''s expression was gloomy. Ever since that day he had hung Uncle Yu on the city walls, Luo Lie had always been guarding the city walls, waiting for Lin Tian to arrive.


    Actually Luo Lie wasn''t sure whether Lin Tian would come or not. He was also betting on whether Uncle Yu was important to Lin Tian or not.


    However, a bad old man truly didn''t have much value. When Luo Lie had caught up to Uncle Yu, he had been somewhat vexed.


    However, the sudden appearance of this expert''s aura really made Luo Lie suspicious again: "Could it be that that little bastard Lin Tian had found an expert to help him?"


    Luo Lie could naturally feel that the aura exuding from that expert earlier was that of a Star River Realm expert.


    Lin Tian was just a child from the commoner district. His greatest reliance was that Xiao Yunhai, but right now, Xiao Yunhai''s strength was at most at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage. Against him, Luo Lie could easily crush him.


    He wasn''t afraid of Xiao Yunhai standing up for Lin Tian at all.


    However, the arrival of this Astral Reaching Realm expert caused Luo Lie to feel somewhat uneasy.


    Without hesitating, Luo Lie immediately dashed out of the city gates of Celestial Dragon City. He wanted to see exactly what kind of expert had arrived.


    "Tian, Luo Lie has already sensed my existence. He is currently approaching us, so I''ll go nearby to lure him away. Wait for me to lure him away, then you can make a move ¡­" After saying that, Xiao Yunhai''s figure swiftly flew not far away.


    Lin Tian stubbornly stared at the city gate. Not long after, a figure rushed out from the city gate and rushed in the direction of Xiao Yunhai.


    Lin Tian narrowed his eyes before turning around and asking Xiao Chen: "Are you ready?"


    Xiao Chen did not say anything and just nodded his head.


    "Alright, let''s do it!" Lin Tian''s figure suddenly exploded up as he raised the Dragon Scale Spear high up. At this moment, the Dragon Scale Spear emitted rays of light and a monstrous amount of Essence wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear.


    There were dozens of guards at the top of the city wall, keeping watch over Uncle Yu day and night.


    Lin Tian''s spear was meant to kill all the guards.


    He couldn''t give these guards time to call for help. After all, Lin Tian''s goal was to save Uncle Yu.


    Because of this, Lin Tian used almost all of his strength for this spear. All of the Essence in Lin Tian''s body was poured into this spear.


    The dragon scale spear emitted a dragon roar that instantly alarmed the guards.


    But by the time they had reacted, Lin Tian''s spear had already arrived in front of them.


    The crowd did not even have the time to react. The power of the Dragon Scale Spear had already completely killed them. They did not even have the chance to cry out in pain.


    At the same time, Lin Tian shouted to Xiao Chen, who was below, "Exit!"


    Xiao Chen immediately spat out an extremely long Qi arrow, and the Qi arrow cut off the rope holding Uncle Yu.


    Without the rope, Uncle Yu immediately started to descend rapidly. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen exhaled a breath of air. This Qi held onto Uncle Yu''s body steadily before falling to the ground.


    Lin Tian was right under the city gate. He caught Uncle Yu in one go and carried him as he frantically flew back.


    At the same time, Xiao Chen spat out his third breath.


    The power of this breath was simply terrifying. It was so powerful that it almost destroyed everything in its path as it flew straight towards the city wall.


    "Boom boom!" With a deafening noise, half of the city gates of Sky Dragon City crumbled.


    "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Just at that time, the people under the city gate were finally alarmed. Everyone rushed out from the city gate, but the city gate already collapsed and they could not rush out.


    "Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu." Lin Tian placed Yu Bo down and lightly called out.


    Uncle Yu''s aura was extremely weak, almost on the verge of death.


    "Hornless, is there any way to save him?" Lin Tian shouted a few times, but Uncle Yu didn''t have the slightest reaction.


    Lin Tian Deng immediately thought of the Horned Demon.


    "His life force has been completely lost. There''s no saving him ¡­" The Horned Demon checked the aura on Uncle Yu''s body, then shook his head and said.


    "How is this possible!" Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief: "I couldn''t even save him with dragon blood?"


    "I can''t save him ¡­" Horned Demon explained, "He''s not a martial artist, he''s just a mere mortal. You feeding him dragon blood will only hasten his death. Boy, you have to know that he''s at the end of his life, not because of injuries!"


    At this point, Horned Demon sighed, "A mortal cannot defy the heavens and change his fate. His life force is exhausted, so he won''t be able to hold on for too long. However, I can help you wake him up."


    "¡­" Lin Tian looked at the current Uncle Yu in his heart. He held back a large fire in his heart and was unable to vent it out. His eyes were filled with a scarlet color.


    "What''s the matter with you?" Xiao Chen immediately realized that something was wrong.


    Lin Tian suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was startled. He swore that he had never seen such a gaze in his life before. Furthermore, he saw such a gaze in Lin Tian''s eyes. He would not forget it for the rest of his life.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were full of bloodlust, slaughter, and brutality!


    The Horned Dragon soul body emitted an extremely weak light, entering Uncle Yu''s body.


    Uncle Yu''s body slightly trembled for a moment, before returning to normal.


    At this time, Horned Demon also noticed Lin Tian''s change and his face immediately became serious. He had already seen Lin Tian''s soul within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace. Lin Tian''s soul was already gradually turning black!


    "This ¡­ this is the sign of becoming a devil!" Horned Demon shouted in surprise.


    "Boy, boy, wake up, wake up!" Horned Demon immediately called out to Lin Tian. He also didn''t think that because of Uncle Yu, Lin Tian would actually have a trace of wanting to become bewitched!


    But no matter how the Horned Demon called out, he couldn''t wake Lin Tian up.


    Lin Tian''s aura became more and more terrifying and his Essence instantly turned black.


    However, just as Lin Tian''s soul was about to turn completely black, the Ancient Dragon Rune on Lin Tian''s forehead instantly gave an early warning. It wanted to stop Lin Tian from bewitching, but the power from the Ancient Dragon Rune had fallen into Lin Tian''s body.


    At the same time, the dragon blood and egg in Lin Tian''s body seemed to be alert and wanted to stop it, but even so, they could not stop Lin Tian from enchanting.


    But at this moment, "Cough cough cough cough ¡­" A series of coughing sounds was heard.


    Lin Tian''s eyes changed from a scarlet color to a normal one.


    At the same time, the black gas on his spirit body had completely disappeared. Lin Tian''s spirit once again became transparent.


    The tyrannical, terrifying, and terrifying aura he exuded disappeared without a trace in an instant.


    Lin Tian''s gaze suddenly turned to Uncle Yu.


    "Uncle Yu." Lin Tian shouted with a trembling voice.


    "Young ¡­" "I ¡­" Uncle Yu said in a trembling voice.


    "Young Master?" Lin Tian slightly froze.


    At this time, Uncle Yu saw Lin Tian and his spirit had also recovered a bit. He struggled to sit up: "Young master, this old servant has kept this last breath and has finally brought you here ¡­"

 C42

    "Uncle Yu, don''t say that. I''ll definitely think of a way to cure you!" Lin Tian tightly held onto Uncle Yu''s hand, his eyes turning red.


    "Young master, this old servant knows that this old servant is not a martial cultivator. This old servant will not live any longer." Uncle Yu''s face started to turn red, and his eyes started to glow.


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat. He naturally knew that this was the prelude to Uncle Yu''s final moments.


    "This old servant has taken his last breath because I was waiting for you, Young Master!" Uncle Yu slightly sighed, then tightly held onto Lin Tian''s hand: "As things are now, since you''ve also awakened the Lin Family''s bloodline, I can''t hide it from you. Your background, I believe young master wanted to know about it a long time ago ¡­ ¡­"


    Uncle Yu looked at the current Lin Tian with a sigh, unable to hold back his tears: "I didn''t tell you before, to protect you young master, now that young master has grown up and can protect himself, I''ll tell you everything about your background!"


    "Uncle Yu ¡­" Lin Tian silently sobbed and clenched his teeth.


    Young master, don''t cry. You are the descendant of my Tian Luo Country''s Lin Clan. Uncle Yu wiped away Lin Tian''s tears and sunk into his memories.


    "Young master, do you know of the Lin Clan?" After a long while, Uncle Yu asked.


    "Of course I know that it is the number one clan in Tian Luo Country. However, the Lin Clan has already been exterminated many years ago. Why, could I be related to the Lin Clan?" Lin Tian asked in disbelief.


    As citizens of Tian Luo, everyone knew that the Lin Clan was born from a thousand years ago, when they were still in Tian Luo Country, they had two great heroes that were worth remembering.


    One of them was the late emperor of the Tian Luo Kingdom, who used the body of a slave to conquer the mountains and rivers of the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    The other hero was Tian Luo Kingdom''s pillar, the friend of the previous Emperor, the Great Marshal Lin was invincible!


    Lin Wudi''s real name was not Lin Shimeng, but because he had followed the late emperor, he had advanced at an amazing pace and built this business for the late emperor, becoming an undying for a thousand years.


    The reason why he was called Lin Wudi was because ever since the marshal had followed the previous emperor, he had never lost.


    The late emperor had pointed to the marshal and said to the soldiers, "I have Lin Wudi. This is the time for major events!"


    From then on, Lin Wudi''s name shook the heavens and he did not falter for a thousand years.


    After the late emperor took down Jiang Shan, Feng Lin Wudi became the marshal of the marshal, known to the people as the marshal of marshal.


    Lin Wudi was also the king of the Tian Luo Kingdom, the head of the million strong army, the Prime Minister of the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    He had multiple responsibilities, he was one person below, he was one hundred thousand people above.


    At that time, the late emperor treated the marshal Lin invincibly, tasting it and chatting it through the night without sleeping.


    Afterwards, Tian Luo Kingdom was invaded by the neighbouring countries, so Marshal Lin Wu Wu Wu resigned from his post, and was willing to guard the north side of Tian Luo Kingdom to protect the defense line of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    From then on, Marshal Lin Wu-Shuang never came back.


    Before the late emperor passed away, he left behind an edict: Great Marshal Lin Wudi built an ancestral hall and enjoyed the worship of incense.


    This was a privilege only the royal family had, even Lin Wudi''s family.


    From then on, there was a saying of the Lin Clan.


    Everyone knew that Tian Luo Country had passed this story on from mouth to mouth.


    At this moment, after hearing Uncle Yu talk about the Lin Clan, Lin Tian was truly in disbelief.


    "Yes, Young Master, you are the fifteenth son of the Lin Clan. You are the blood descendant of the great marshal Lin Wudi, and also the fifteenth successor of the Lin Clan!" Uncle Yu said in shock.


    Lin Tian had just heard Uncle Yu mention the Lin Clan and then thought of his surname. In reality, he had vaguely guessed it, but hearing Uncle Yu personally say it this time, Lin Tian''s heart was still incomparably shocked.


    "I ¡­ I am really the descendant of the great marshal Lin Wudi?" Lin Tian was still in disbelief.


    When he was young and heard the legend of Marshal Lin being invincible, he always thought that it would be great if he was the descendant of Marshal Lin Wudi, but now Uncle Yu had suddenly told him that he was the descendant of Marshal Lin Wudi, shocking Lin Tian''s heart.


    Uncle Yu saw Lin Tian''s excited and incredulous expression and couldn''t help but laugh: "Great Marshal Lin is everyone''s idol. You are his grandson, you should be proud."


    "However, the Lin Clan has long been annihilated. Uncle Yu, how could you say that I am his descendant?" Lin Tian immediately thought of the problem. The Lin Clan had been annihilated many years ago and was said to have been completely annihilated. If he was a descendant of the Lin Clan, he would have died long ago. How could he still be alive?


    "That''s right, the Lin Clan was indeed destroyed back then." Uncle Yu nodded his head and then explained: "Your Great Grandfather, your Great Grandfather''s grandfather''s generation, the Lin Clan had already been excluded. After all, in the past many years, there had never been another Great Marshal Lin in the Lin Family, and the Tian Luo Country had already been peaceful for a long time, without any internal troubles. At that time, the Tian Luo King naturally did not need the Lin Clan''s existence."


    Lin Tian nodded his head. A cunning rabbit would die, and a dog would be cooked. This was not hard to understand. The Lin Clan had been prominent for many years, and keeping them would be a big problem.


    "However, your great-grandfather already had the foresight to send your grandfather to a remote city as soon as he was born. He allowed himself to grow up, which could be considered as leaving a trail of incense for the Lin Clan." Uncle Yu said faintly.


    "Later on, as expected, the Tian Luo Kingdom''s Emperor directly attacked the Lin Clan and executed the entire Lin Clan on the charge of betraying his enemies and betraying his country." There was a trace of anger in Uncle Yu''s voice.


    "A full family execution?" Lin Tian''s expression immediately turned cold. Now that he knew that he was a member of the Lin Clan, hearing this matter caused Lin Tian''s mood to change slightly.


    "That''s right, the whole family was executed. At that time, I followed your grandfather and witnessed the process of your great-grandfather''s entire family being executed." Uncle Yu seemed to have fallen completely into his memories, "At that time, your grandfather tightly clenched his fist, and swore to make the king of Tian Luo pay!"


    "Your grandfather had hidden his name and became the number one family in Sky Dragon City at the time." Uncle Yu''s voice suddenly grew louder.


    "Grandpa endured the humiliation, as expected of the descendant of the Lin Clan." Lin Tian nodded his head. He could imagine his grandfather''s feelings back then.


    "That''s right. After your grandfather got married and had children, that was why he had your father." Uncle Yu was lost in his memories.


    "My father!" In the past ten years, this was the first time he had heard about his father.


    Lin Tian tightly gripped Uncle Yu''s hand: "Uncle Yu, tell me in detail what kind of person my father, mother is?"


    "Your father is a genius, a genius, a genius among all geniuses!" Uncle Yu looked at Lin Tian, then said: "From your eyebrows, I can vaguely see the shadow of your father from back then."


    "Genius! Genius!" Lin Tian muttered to himself as his heart was set ablaze.


    "At that time, everyone who saw your father said that he was the most outstanding genius in the history of Tian Luo Kingdom." Uncle Yu said softly, "Your father, when he was eighteen years old, was already a Star River Realm expert."


    "18 years old, Star River Realm!" Lin Tian''s heart fiercely twitched and he couldn''t help but cry out.


    "That''s right, an eighteen year old Star River Realm cultivator." Uncle Yu nodded and continued, "Your father was the number one genius of Tian Luo Kingdom at that time. He was invincible throughout the world. He then left Tian Luo Kingdom."


    "Where did father go?" Lin Tian impatiently asked.


    "He went to the Six Great Sacred Sects." Uncle Yu replied, "But it''s also because your father was too monstrous, causing the Lin Family to be in trouble later on."


    At this point, Uncle Yu sighed.


    "Yes, because of my mother?" Lin Tian asked.


    Uncle Yu had not mentioned anything about his mother just now. It was likely that his father''s trouble this time had something to do with his mother.


    "That''s right, your mother is the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley, one of the six great sects." That''s right, your mother is one of the six great sects, the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley. Uncle Yu couldn''t help but sigh, "The Emerald Holy Valley was obstructing everything. Your father never gave up. On the contrary, he became braver as he fell."


    Back then, your father went on a rampage and single-handedly killed all the experts in the Jadeite Sacred Valley, attracting the attention of the higher ups of the Jadeite Sacred Valley. However, your father went berserk all the way and became stronger by leaps and bounds, killing everyone that came to kill him. At this point, Uncle Yu became a bit excited.


    Lin Tian also looked at Uncle Yu with a bit of yearning. He could feel the strength of his father from Uncle Yu''s description.


    Seven in seven, seven out of eight, what a heroic figure this was!


    "However, because of this reason, it brought disaster upon your grandfather." Uncle Yu let out another sigh. "Your father took your mother away, but now he''s mysteriously gone missing."


    "Missing?" Lin Tian spoke in surprise.


    "That''s right, missing!" Uncle Yu replied, "It''s just that, when your father went missing, he had already become a King''s Realm expert. It''s rare!"


    "But even though your father is missing, your grandfather is in trouble. The experts from the Jadeite Holy Valley have all come out and slaughtered the entire Lin Family." Uncle Yu''s heart was filled with grief.


    "When the Lin Family was massacred, your grandfather sent me to a foreign land and I ended up escaping this calamity. By the time I returned, the Lin Family had already been turned into ashes."


    "Emerald Holy Valley!" Lin Tian gnashed his teeth as he yelled out these words.


    "However, on the day after the Lin Family was destroyed, your father and your mother returned." Uncle Yu''s voice became a little agitated. "Of course, I brought you with me."


    "Me?" Lin Tian was also surprised in his heart.


    "Your father didn''t say too much to me. He only handed you over to me, entrusted me with taking care of you, and then left." Uncle Yu patted Lin Tian''s shoulder, and the ruddiness in his face gradually faded.


    "I asked your father where he was going, but he only said that he had something very important to do. Before he left, he hung a metal plate around your neck." A deathly aura began to emanate from Uncle Yu''s body.


    Lin TianAo knew that Uncle Yu was about to die.


    "He told me that if you awaken the Lin Clan''s bloodline and the metal plate is absorbed into your body, I will tell you everything." At this moment, Uncle Yu''s face was completely dark and withered.


    "It''s just that I didn''t have the time to tell you before you left. You never came back." Uncle Yu struggled up a smile and said, "But, luckily, I''ve been waiting for you. Young master, I''ve been waiting for you."


    "You, you must live on. Remember, your parents are not dead yet. Go find them, help the Lin Clan''s name and avenge your grandfather ¡­" Uncle Yu said while panting heavily.


    "Your father is called Lin Feng, and your mother is called Lu Wushuang ¡­" After Uncle Yu said this, his voice suddenly stopped. He was already dead.

 C43

    "Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu?" Lin Tian tightly held onto Uncle Yu as he let out a low and deep roar.


    Uncle Yu was just a mortal, not a martial artist, and he could not defy the heavens. After being tormented for so many days, it was not easy for him to hold on up until now, but to save Uncle Yu was already an impossible task.


    But because of this, Lin Tian was even more enraged. If Uncle Yu hadn''t been tortured for so many days, he definitely wouldn''t have died.


    He had actually left behind his last breath just to tell Lin Tian of his true background.


    This made Lin Tian feel even more both grief and anger. He regretted his previous carelessness. If he had already thought highly of Uncle Yu, then such a thing definitely would not have happened.


    Of course, Lin Tian hated King Yongan even more, Luo Lie!


    Lin Tian gently let go of Uncle Yu and placed him on the ground. His gaze suddenly shifted to Xiao Chen, "You heard what Uncle Yu said. Tell me your identity!"


    Xiao Chen was slightly stunned before he reacted. However, Xiao Chen did not hesitate and directly knelt in front of Lin Tian, "The descendant of the Lin Clan''s Tiger Cavalry greets the Young Master!"


    "Tiger Cavalry?" In the Lin Family''s army, there were three main forces: the Eagle Army, the Tiger Cavalry Army, and the Blood Leopard Battalion.


    The Eagle Squad was the Flying Army, the Tiger Cavalry was the cavalry, and the Blood Leopard Battalion was the Warriors.


    These three main forces were what made the marshal famous all those years ago.


    However, after the Lin Clan was destroyed, the Lin Clan troops were also cleansed.


    The Eagle Army, the Tiger Cavalry Army, and the Blood Leopard Battalion were all not preserved.


    He did not expect that this Xiao Chen was actually a descendant of the Tiger Cavalry.


    Lin Tian pondered for a moment. Only now did he think about it. Wasn''t the commander of the Tiger Cavalry Army the famous Iron Blood Generals Xiao Junjun who had the title of "War God?"


    Xiao Jun was a close friend of the marshal and a brother of the marshal.


    Xiao Chen''s surname was also Xiao; could it be that he was the descendant of General Xiao Zhenjun?


    According to what Uncle Yu said, Lin Tian was the descendant of the Lin Clan. Then this Xiao Chen in front of him had a very deep connection with him.


    No wonder when Xiao Chen first saw him, he appeared somewhat unnatural. Furthermore, he kept saying some nonsense that was impossible to go against.


    However, from Xiao Chen''s words, it seemed that he did not approve of his young master''s status ¡­


    "You are the descendant of General Xiao Zhenjun?" Lin Tian stared at Xiao Chen with a burning gaze.


    "Reporting to Young Master, that''s right. I am the Commander of the Tiger Cavalry, Xiao Junjun''s 15th generation, Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen replied respectfully.


    "It''s also fifteen generations, and just happens to be of the same generation. There''s no need to kneel, get up." The fact that Xiao Chen revealed his identity made Lin Tian very curious.


    "Thank you, Young Lord." Xiao Chen stood up, but he still bent his waist as he spoke.


    "How do you know about me?" Lin Tian walked in front of Xiao Chen, his voice somewhat playful: "What I meant was that the first time you saw me, you already knew that I was Lin Tian. Furthermore, at that time, did you guess that I was a descendant of the Lin Clan?"


    "Reporting to Young Lord, although our Xiao family''s leader was purged, because our Xiao family produced a martial general and had been loyal and devoted for many years, the Tian Luo Kingdom''s King did not attack. Our Xiao family was lucky enough to survive." Xiao Chen replied, "However, for so many years, the Xiao Clan has always had its ancestors'' teachings. Since the beginning of the Xiao Clan, they were all servants of the Lin Clan. For one day, they were followers of the clan, and for every generation, they are servants of the clan.


    "Our Xiao family''s previous head, my father, died on the battlefield. I was raised by my master, but my master was also a member of the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family only has me alive, we cannot forget our ancestor''s teachings!" When Xiao Chen said this, Lin Tian clearly felt Xiao Chen was a little disappointed.


    Ten years ago, when Master asked around, he finally found out about your background and whereabouts. Since ten years ago, when I just started remembering, Master would go down the mountain every year. When he came back, he only brought one painting.


    Xiao Chen suddenly raised his head, "That painting is you."


    The person in the painting was called Lin Tian, the fifteenth generation of the Lin Clan. He was my Young Master, the Young Master of my Xiao Clan, and I, Xiao Chen, must follow him for my entire life. Even if I die, the Young Master must live on. Xiao Chen''s voice suddenly became excited.


    "I grew up with you, Young Lord." Xiao Chen''s voice was somewhat deep and low. It was obvious that he was very dejected, "I will become a shadow and live under the Young Master''s body for my entire life."


    "You feel that it''s unfair to yourself?" Lin Tian understood Xiao Chen''s meaning and could not help but ask him a question. There was a smile on his face before he added: "Tell me the truth."


    "Unfair!" Xiao Chen''s eyes immediately turned red, "My young master, if you were born, someone would tell you that you would become the shadow of someone else. You would not be able to live as you are, but become a shadow and live in the world of others.


    "If your dearest, most beloved, and most respected master were to go down the mountain and bring back a painting with an unfamiliar person on it, then your master would tell you that you would be risking your life for him. After dying, what would you think?"


    "If you were born, you would know that you have a laughable problem, but you have to inherit the teachings of your ancestors. Moreover, you would also meet that so-called young master. What would you think?" When he finished speaking, Xiao Chen''s voice had already started to roar.


    "I don''t want to live in the shadow of others. I don''t want to be the shadow of others, and I also don''t want to follow the ridiculous teachings of my ancestors. I don''t want to have any young master either. I only want to be myself, to be Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen instantly cried. He had always thought that what his master said was a lie and a lie. However, he did not expect that after staying on the mountain for fifteen years, he would meet his young master the moment he entered the mountain.


    How could he not recognize Lin Tian in an instant? How could he not be depressed?


    However, he was powerless. His master told him that he had to carry it out because his surname was Xiao. He was Xiao Zhenjun''s descendant, and he was a servant of the Lin Family.


    Lin Tian smiled faintly: "Xiao Chen, are you in a miserable state?"


    "I''m much more miserable than you. I''ve never seen my parents since I was young. I''ve always thought of myself as an orphan. My only family, Uncle Yu, is also lying there right now." Lin Tian forced a smile.


    "Not long ago, my meridians were destroyed, and my dantian was crippled. Even the woman I had always liked became the young prince''s plaything." Complaining is not a way to solve the problem, and I have never given up. I have always worked hard in my cultivation and become a genius in the eyes of the people, but I am still weak. Before, I could not protect myself, so I was crippled.


    "But even so, I have never given up. I have never been defeated, I killed Luo Chen who crippled me in the same way, his father wanted to kill me, that bitch who betrayed me, although I didn''t kill her, she also died, that was the result of her committing unjustifiable acts." Lin Tian said without a trace of emotion.


    So, Xiao Chen, what I want to tell you is this: The heart of a strong person has never been defeated. The only thing that can defeat you is you, and Luo Lie will not defeat me. I swear, with the death of Uncle Yu, I will make Luo Lie return a thousand, ten thousand times more. Lin Tian''s voice became vicious.


    "So, do you understand what I mean by saying all this?" Lin Tian suddenly raised his head and met Xiao Chen''s gaze.


    Xiao Chen was startled, as though he did not know what Lin Tian was trying to say.


    "I, Lin Tian, in the name of the Lin Clan''s 15th generation grandson, I request the heavens and earth to bear witness, to witness the death of the deceased ancestor, Lin Wudi, and the deceased soul of General Xiao Zhenjun. Today, I will expel the status of servant of the Xiao Clan, from today onwards, the Lin Clan will still be here, but if the servant is not here, I will strip away all the families that are related to the Lin Clan. Lin Tian suddenly raised the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand and roared towards the sky.


    "I, Lin Tian, will bear all the all the sins and punishments. I also swear to the heavens that as long as I, Lin Tian, am still alive, I will make the royal family of Tian Luo who destroyed my Lin Clan disappear! I, Lin Tian, will live for one day and force my parents to leave the Emerald Holy Valley. Lin Tian made two oaths in succession.


    Thunder rumbled in the sky and then disappeared a moment later.


    This was an oath to the Dao of the Heavens!


    Xiao Chen looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. His heart was filled with shock.


    Lin Tian had actually forcefully stripped his Xiao family of their position as a servant. This meant that the Xiao family''s ancestor teachings had no meaning in existing because the Xiao family was a servant that had been expelled by the main family.


    This was an oath made by the Dao of the Heavens. The moment he spoke, it would be impossible to retract it.


    For people on the Sky Dragon Continent, mortals need not worry about the effects of oaths. However, it was impossible for cultivators to do so because all the power they possessed came from heaven and earth.


    So to abide by the rules of the Heavenly Dao, Lin Tian had just sworn an oath to the heavens and the earth. The rules of the Heavenly Dao would acknowledge Lin Tian''s oath.


    Oaths to the Dao of the Heavens were always very prudent for martial cultivators. Normally, they would not rashly swear such an oath.


    But Lin Tian was so popular?


    "Xiao Chen, in the end, you only want to be free. I will give you freedom!" Lin Tian quietly said to Xiao Chen: "Lin Clan, I, Lin Tian, am enough."


    "However, what I want to tell you is something that no one can take away from you. If you want to stand on your own feet, you must have the heart of a powerful warrior!" Lin Tian muttered to himself. He seemed to be talking to Xiao Chen, perhaps to himself.

 C44

    "Good boy, I really did not misjudge you!" At this moment, the hornless figure in Lin TianAo''s residence suddenly jumped up in excitement.


    Horned Demon was very satisfied with what Lin Tian said and Lin Tian''s performance just now. He kept muttering to himself: "You really like my taste, boy, the heart of the strong, the heart of the strong, you said too good!"


    Lin Tian did not pay attention to Horned Demon''s jubilation. Instead, he looked at Xiao Chen with a calm expression.


    At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at a loss; there was a trace of disappointment on his face.


    "I have already made such an oath. You are free now, Xiao Chen." Lin Tian said again: "You can leave now. You don''t need to become someone else''s shadow, and you don''t need to feel that it''s unfair ¡­ ¡­"


    "I-I can leave now?" Xiao Chen''s eyes were filled with disappointment.


    He also knew that the oath Lin Tian made just now was already to completely expel him from the Lin Family.


    He no longer needed to follow the ridiculous teachings of his ancestors. He was truly free now. Furthermore, the key thing was that Lin Tian had voluntarily sworn an oath to him, and it was not Xiao Chen who forced him to do so.


    However, it was Lin Tian''s free and easy attitude that made Xiao Chen hesitate.


    Now that Xiao Chen was free without the restriction from his ancestors, he should be moved and happy. However, for some reason, Xiao Chen was not happy at all.


    He didn''t know why, but he felt that something was missing in his heart.


    "But with Uncle Yu dead, you can''t deal with those people alone. I''ll stay and help you, even if I''m just bragging ¡­" Xiao Chen took the initiative and said.


    "No, you''re free." Lin Tian shook his head and rejected Xiao Chen''s good intentions.


    "I ¡­" Xiao Chen still wanted to say something, but Lin Tian interrupted him, "I do not need sympathy or pity."


    "I''m not feeling sympathy and pity?" Xiao Chen hurriedly tried to defend himself.


    However, Lin Tian spoke. He looked at Xiao Chen and smiled, "Although I do not need sympathy and pity, I still need your help."


    "Friends?" Xiao Chen was stunned, "Do you take me as a friend?"


    "Of course." Lin Tian nodded his head, then teased: "You''ve accompanied me for so long, yet you still haven''t treated me as a friend?"


    "Of course I treated you as a friend. It''s been ten years, an entire ten years, and I''ve grown up facing your portrait. To be honest, I''m more familiar with what you look like than I am with myself." Xiao Chen immediately smiled.


    "Yes, Xiao Chen. I treat you as a friend, an equal friend. I am not the young master of the Lin Clan, and you are not the son of a servant." Lin Tian looked at him and smiled: "We are equal friends, my name is Lin Tian."


    "Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen suddenly revealed a smiling face.


    "Are you willing to help me? Kill all of these puppies!" Lin Tian smiled and asked Xiao Chen.


    "My pleasure, my friend." Xiao Chen emphasized the tone of his friend.


    "Then let''s go." The Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand lightly trembled and let out a low dragon roar.


    At the same time, the collapsed city walls had already been cleaned up. At the city gates of Sky Dragon City, teams of guards from the Yongan Mansion were neatly arranged and gathering rapidly. It was likely that they were about to move out.


    At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared behind a bush in the distance. "Grandma, did you hear what they said?"


    "I heard it, that kid is pretty good. However, does Miss care about these two people? Could it be that she is interested in one of them?" Granny Jin looked at the distant Lin Tian and Xiao Chen''s figures and then looked at Yun Huang. She could not help but sigh in her heart.


    "Nope." Yun Huang denied it immediately, but then suddenly thought of something that had happened, her face was flushed red as she scolded herself: "I would definitely not be tempted by that pervert!"


    Under the cover of the night, Granny Jin was completely unaware of Yun Feng''s expression.


    However, as Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian''s back, she suddenly felt a bit annoyed.


    For some reason, ever since the last time he made love to Lin Tian, in the past few days, Lin Tian''s figure constantly flashed through Yun Huang''s mind.


    No matter how Yun Huang wanted to calm her heart, she could not erase Lin Tian''s figure.


    Especially when he kept thinking about the scene of the two having sex, this made Yun Huang even more embarrassed and annoyed. She was also cursing herself for being shameless and impetuous.


    However, if Horned Demon knew about this matter, he would naturally not be surprised, because Yun Feng was of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline. If the descendants of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline met the blood of the True Dragon, and especially the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, they would naturally be attracted to each other.


    It was also because of this that Yun Huang initially decided to stay for a few days. Her goal was actually very simple as she wanted to understand what kind of person Lin Tian was.


    Thus, after Ling Tianlie brought Ling Wushuang away, Yun Huang had always been a follower of Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai.


    She didn''t expect that they would come here at night. Naturally, she and Granny Jin followed them without the slightest hesitation.


    Only now did they see everything with their own eyes, including the story of Lin Tian''s life and what he said to Xiao Chen earlier. They heard it all without missing a word.


    It could be said that what Lin Tian said to Xiao Chen was not as shocking as the act of Lin Tian swearing an oath.


    No matter what Xiao Chen said, he was a great helper. Furthermore, he had received instructions from his ancestors. No matter what, he would not betray Lin Tian no matter how dissatisfied he was.


    Even so, Lin Tian did not hesitate to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath and dissolve the invisible contract between him and Xiao Chen.


    Lin Tian was equivalent to removing the shackles that he had placed on Xiao Chen. If he gave Xiao Chen his freedom, that would be the most precious thing.


    Of course, this more or less changed Lin Tian''s image in Yun Huang''s heart.


    Of course, in Yun Huang''s eyes, Lin Tian''s most important image was still that of a thief.


    Also, after Yun Huang found out about Lin Tian''s background, she more or less had some sympathy for Lin Tian.


    In any case, Yun Huang''s feelings towards Lin Tian became more and more complicated.


    She couldn''t say what kind of feelings she had for Lin Tian.


    In the beginning, Yun Huang only had a simple curiosity towards Lin Tian, because first it was the power of Lin Tian''s bloodline that attracted Yun Huang, and then it was the scene that happened in the cave, causing Yun Huang''s curiosity towards Lin Tian to be completely drowned. At that time, Yun Huang only had hatred towards Lin Tian, endless hatred, and even wanted to kill him quickly.


    But after experiencing Li Wan''er, Yun Huang felt that Lin Tian wasn''t as hateful as she thought. Instead, she felt that she couldn''t see through him.


    Of course, what Yun Huang cared about the most was that Lin Tian did not say anything about what happened that day. Yun Huang did not know what she wanted to do with Lin Tian, in any case, it was not as simple as killing Lin Tian with a single sword strike.


    Now, the more he understood Lin Tian, the more Yun Huang felt guilty.


    Her feelings for Lin Tian also became more and more complex.


    Grandma Jin could already feel the change in Yun Huang''s heart. In fact, from the moment Yun Huang came out of the illusory dragon gate, she had already felt that something was wrong. Until now, Yun Huang had always been following Lin Tian, so she understood.


    As a spectator, Granny Jin could see that Yun Huang''s heart was moved by Lin Tian.


    Perhaps Yun Huang would never admit it, but being tempted was only a matter of time.


    When Granny Jin thought of this, she could not help but sigh. She thought to herself, "Miss is still too young. However, this boy seems to be a genius with great potential ¡­"


    "But, this is far from enough. Without understanding the real history of the young miss, Lin Tian might never be able to be in the same position as the young miss. Having potential is not enough, because if he wants to be together with the young miss, he must be a peak-level genius. A demon among evildoers ¡­"


    "After all, all those people by the Miss'' side are all heaven''s pride experts!"


    Granny Jin sighed in her heart, but after hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "Miss, should we help him?"


    "No." Yun Huang immediately shook his head: "This is his own revenge, he definitely wants to take it on himself."


    When Yun Huang said this, she didn''t even notice that she was already thinking for Lin Tian.


    At the same time, in the distance of Sky Dragon City, the figures of Luo Lie and Xiao Yunhai chased after each other, one in front and one behind.


    After a while, Xiao Yunhai''s figure suddenly stopped.


    "Who are you? What are you doing in my Sky Dragon City?" In the next moment, Luo Lie''s figure had already caught up to Xiao Yunhai. Seeing that Xiao Yunhai did not move, Luo Lie also stopped his body and asked.


    "King Yongan chased me the entire way. Don''t you feel tired?" At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly turned his head.


    The moment he saw Xiao Yunhai, Luo Lie was slightly startled, but immediately recovered: "So it''s Principal Xiao."


    However, in the next moment, Luo Lie suddenly felt that something was amiss. "You, you''ve actually broken through to the Star River Realm!"


    "I don''t think it''s accurate to use it to break through. To be more accurate, it''s recovered to the Astral Realm." Xiao Yunhai lightly said.


    Luo Lie''s pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at Xiao Yunhai with some disbelief. However, in the next moment, he felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    This was because he suddenly thought of a possibility.


    "Summoning the tiger to leave the mountain, this is luring the tiger out of the mountain!" At this moment, Xiao Yunhai''s appearance here was definitely not a coincidence.


    And what was the purpose of Xiao Yunhai luring him all the way here?


    Xiao Yunhai was Lin Tian''s master, then presumably Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai also came together.


    The purpose of Xiao Yunhai luring him away was to allow Lin Tian to do something.


    Then there was only one possibility. The reason Xiao Yunhai had lured him here was to allow Lin Tian to successfully save Uncle Yu.


    "Not good." Luo Lie immediately prepared to leave.


    However, Xiao Yunhai had already made his move. His hands turned into claws, and directly grabbed at Luo Lie: "King Yongan, why are you in such a hurry to leave. You''ve chased me the entire way and are also tired. How about we reminisce here?"


    "Who wants to talk about old times with you!" Previously, when he sensed the aura of a Star River Realm expert, he thought that Lin Tian had invited some extreme expert. However, he didn''t expect that this Star River Realm expert was Xiao Yunhai!


    Luo Lie''s body slightly leaned to the side and dodged Xiao Yunhai''s claw strike. Then, he drew back, intending to escape just like that.


    However, how could Xiao Yunhai let him have his way? With a flash, he once again caught up to Luo Lie.


    He wanted to stall Luo Lie and buy time for Lin Tian.

 C45

    Currently, Lin Tian naturally did not know that Yun Huang had been following him the entire time, and even more so did not know that Xiao Yunhai and Luo Lie were currently fighting together.


    He only knew that he wanted to take revenge for Uncle Yu.


    To him, Uncle Yu was his closest relative. Naturally, the meaning of Uncle Yu to Lin Tian was unquestionable, and it was also because of this reason that Lin Tian''s heart had always been stifled by a ball of fire.


    Thus, tonight, murder was inevitable!


    Lin Tian and Luo Chen madly rushed towards the Sky Dragon City''s gate. At this time, a squadron of soldiers had already gathered in front of the city gate.


    These were the Sky Dragon Guards who were protecting Sky Dragon City, who were actually the personal guards of King Yongan, Luo Lie. In order to maintain his rule, the Tian Luo Empire''s monarch had adopted a feudal system.


    Within each of the counties in Tian Luo Country, there were almost a thousand cities, and in each city, there was a prince surnamed Luo. These were all royal relatives, in Tian Luo Country, the prince was in charge of the city, this was an unwritten rule, in almost every city, the one in charge was the royal family of Tian Luo Country.


    Therefore, the guards of the city had naturally become the personal guards of those princes.


    Luo Lie had a treacherous nature, and was overbearing and greedy. Normally, he would make use of these private soldiers to do things that would bring disaster to the residents of Sky Dragon City.


    Seeing this group of Luo Lie''s Eagles, Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t restrain himself.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian gave a loud shout as his Dragon Scale Spear turned into a long rainbow. Monstrous Essence Qi enveloped the Dragon Scale Spear as it recklessly scattered about. The killing intent around him was extremely heavy, causing the surrounding air to become extremely chaotic.


    At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Guards started to quickly arrange their troops and arrange their formations. The ones standing in the front were the armored guards, and Lin Tian had already heard about this before. However, this was the first time he saw the armored armor of the armored guards lined up in front of them.


    Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear had finished accumulating its energy. In the next moment, it was about to land, but it was also at this moment that Lin Tian suddenly turned around and shouted at Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, make your move!"


    Xiao Chen did not hesitate at all. He was originally holding in his anger and immediately sent it towards those soldiers like a dragon.


    Those Heavenly Dragon Guards only felt a fierce gale blow towards them, causing them to be a bit unsteady with their armor, but luckily, they managed to withstand it.


    Lin Tian turned his head and shouted again: "Xiao Chen, you have to go all out!"


    Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen''s next breath came surging in crazily.


    This time, the Heavenly Dragon Guards could no longer hold on to the armor in front of them. The formation immediately started to sway, and in the next moment, the armor completely dispersed. The soldiers were blown away by the air current.


    In front of Xiao Chen, the armor formation appeared to be useless.


    It was also at this time that Lin Tian suddenly seized the opportunity. The Dragon Scale Spear in his hand slightly trembled, the Dragon Scale Spear that was ready to be used was like a dragon descending.


    "Chi!" "Chi!" "Chi!"


    The Dragon Scale Spear gently vibrated. The soldiers didn''t even have the time to resist before dying under Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear.


    The dragon-scaled spear that was wrapped in origin energy was terrifying; it could kill without any bloodshed.


    These soldiers were all martial artists, not ordinary people, but most of them were around Qi Disciple level 5. These kind of existences were simply unattainable for the former Lin Tian, but now, he was a Qi Hai warrior. His strength was far beyond what these Heavenly Dragon Guards could compare to.


    Lin Tian Sha''s heart rose and even the Dragon Scale Spear emitted a tearing sound that was filled with killing intent.


    "Tie Nai, go!" Right after the first row of armored guards had been killed by Lin Tian''s spear, an extremely aged voice suddenly sounded out from behind the Heavenly Dragon Guards.


    "Butler Luo!" Lin Tian''s eyes turned cold. He immediately knew the identity of the person who was in the back giving orders.


    That person was none other than the loyal old butler who had followed Luo Lie for many years. He was Luo Lie''s greatest assistant and possessed an extraordinary status. It was no wonder that he could give orders to the Heavenly Dragon Guards here.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh.


    A sound of something tearing through the air could be heard. Hundreds of arrows rained down like rain, shooting crazily towards Lin Tian and Xiao Chen.


    However, this time, Xiao Chen had already made his move before Lin Tian said anything.


    "Pfft!" Xiao Chen spat out another stream of Qi from his mouth. After Xiao Chen spat out the white Qi arrow, it instantly turned into tens of thousands of white Qi arrows.


    The white Qi arrows clashed with the steel arrows.


    When the two collided, the Qi arrows made of metal were instantly melted by the white Qi arrow shot out by Xiao Chen. It no longer existed.


    "What ¡­ what power is this?" Manager Luo''s surprised and angry voice came from behind the Celestial Dragon Guards.


    Lin Tian wasn''t idle at the moment. The Dragon Scale Spear moved again, and the sky full of spear shadows flashed. In almost an instant, it swept towards the iron nest armor that had released the arrows.


    Spear shadows spread out in all directions. Those soldiers who were holding the iron spears all looked at those spear shadows in fear.


    In the blink of an eye, they had already collapsed onto the ground. At the same time, numerous blood-red lights also appeared at the same time, and in their throats, there were numerous holes that were neither large nor small. There was even an incomparably terrified look in their eyes, which clearly showed that they did not believe it.


    But because of this, those Steel Nests had all died under Lin Tian''s spear.


    Putting away the spear, Lin Tian''s figure coincidentally landed on the ground.


    In just a few short breaths of time, the Heavenly Dragon Guards, who were originally known for their bravery and battle prowess, had lost their armor formation in succession, as well as the two brightest squads in the entire city.


    Without these two elites, all that was left were ordinary soldiers.


    "Kill them all!" Manager Luo''s voice came again from behind the soldiers.


    Lin Tian coldly snorted. His figure rapidly dashed forward, and in an instant, he charged into the crowd of people.


    Lin Tian who had come into the crowd was like a hungry tiger entering a sheep''s nest. His figure was incomparably fast, making it impossible for people to catch his shadow. However, after he passed by those people, those people all silently stood where they were.


    Before long, all of them had collapsed.


    Harvest, torture, he could only use these two words to describe the current Lin Tian. Wherever Lin Tian Spear had gone, there would be no survivors.


    They were all killed, not a single one was left alive.


    There was a huge gap between Qi Hai warriors and Qi Disciple warriors.


    Lin Tian was a Qi Hai warrior, he had experienced the dragon blood body tempering, and not long ago, he had obtained the Blood and Marrow Washing Marrow Cleansing Fruit. With the help of the dragon scale spear, even if it was a Qi Hai warrior, Lin Tian was confident that he would win, not to mention these Qi Disciple warriors.


    In an instant, Lin Tian killed dozens of Heavenly Dragon Guards as if he was chopping up a melon.


    "Qi Hai realm, he is a powerful Qi Hai warrior!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.


    However, in the next moment, the shadow of a spear pierced through his throat and turned him into a corpse.


    No one would have thought that Lin Tian was already a Qi Hai warrior.


    When Manager Luo, who was standing behind the soldiers, heard this, his face immediately changed. Previously, when they inquired about Lin Tian killing Luo Chen, his strength was only Qi Disciple level 7, so Luo Lie did not take Lin Tian seriously.


    Therefore, only a small number of Heavenly Dragon Guards were sent to guard this area. This group of Heavenly Dragon Guards was generally around the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, and they were the most elite group among the Heavenly Dragon Guards.


    Even after such a long time had passed, Lin Tian''s strength had a breakthrough and he had reached Qi Disciple level 8. With the Armor Guard and the Iron Bow Armor Guard, he could definitely kill Lin Tian.


    But now, it seemed that they were wrong.


    Lin Tian was no longer a Mortal Realm expert, but a Qi Hai warrior!


    This was truly too frightening. This sort of cultivation speed was simply monstrous.


    "No, we can''t let him stay. We must kill him." Manager Luo was crazily thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.


    A moment later, he pulled one of the Celestial Dragon Guards back and said to him, "Your highness definitely won''t be able to return in a short period of time. Go to the manor and call for reinforcements. Remember to be fast. You must be fast!"


    The soldier hurried off without anyone noticing.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were already red from killing. At this moment, the hand he was holding the dragon scale spear with began to tremble. He continuously used his full strength and the Essence in his body was rapidly depleted.


    But at this moment, the whirlpool in his dantian was madly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish the Essence in Lin Tian''s body.


    This was the terrifying aspect of the dragon race''s dantian. The speed at which spiritual energy was being devoured was over a hundred times faster than an ordinary person''s.


    It was also because of this that he was able to support Lin Tian''s excessive consumption of energy.


    Another short moment later, a squadron of more than a hundred Celestial Dragon Guards had all fallen.


    At this time, only a few remaining Heavenly Dragon Guards were still alive. They had all been scared out of their wits by Lin Tian''s nearly brutal massacre.


    They wanted to flee in all directions, but Lin Tian did not hold back at all. One by one, he chased after them and killed them all.


    "Where''s Manager Luo, that dog?" Lin Tian had killed all of the Heavenly Dragon Guards. At this moment, his gaze swept across the dead crowd, but he didn''t find Manager Luo.


    But at this time, not far away, a flame suddenly soared into the sky. With a flash of light, it disappeared.


    "So it''s to send a signal to that old bastard Luo Lie." Lin Tian coldly smiled as his figure moved. He quickly rushed in the direction where the signal had come from.


    His figure was incredibly fast and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived behind Manager Luo.


    Manager Luo was waiting for Lin Tian to arrive. He accumulated energy and he could only use his palm to strike Lin Tian once Lin Tian arrived and the palm would strike Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s figure hadn''t even arrived when he felt a wave of powerful energy fluctuation in front of him. He coldly snorted and the Dragon Scale Spear slipped out of his hand. In a flash, Lin Tian''s figure had already arrived in front of Manager Luo.


    The Dragon Scale Spear directly pierced through Manager Luo''s body, blood splattered everywhere. Manager Luo was already killed by Lin Tian''s spear, and even until death, he didn''t dare to believe that Lin Tian actually had such strength, and the scariest thing was that Lin Tian actually had such terrifying speed.


    Fast to the extreme. He had no way of reacting and died under Lin Tian''s spear.

 C46

    After all, he had Xiao Yunhai pestering Luo Lie right now, so he was completely at ease. One must know that Xiao Yunhai''s strength was currently at the first level of the Star River Realm, so he was naturally much stronger than Luo Lie who was at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    Don''t look at the difference of only one level, but it was like a huge gap that couldn''t be crossed. The stronger Lin Tian''s strength was, the deeper the comprehension would be.


    The Manager Luo he had just killed was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. He was only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm, but he could easily kill him. Of course, this was based on the fact that Lin Tianyuan was much stronger than most Qi Hai warriors.


    In fact, even if Lin Tian was just an ordinary Qi Hai warrior, he could still kill him because Qi Hai warriors and Qi Disciple warriors were on completely different levels.


    This was a difference in absolute strength.


    Xiao Yunhai and Luo Lie were the same. Even if Luo Lie had countless hidden cards, in the face of absolute strength, they were all empty words.


    However, it was precisely because Xiao Yunhai had tied Luo Lie down that Lin Tian was able to go all out against him. In King Yongan Palace, besides an Aurous Core stage expert like Luo Lie, it was absolutely impossible for Lin Tian to be his match. As for the others, Lin Tian was not afraid of them.


    Lin Tian glanced at the corpses on the ground, as well as Xiao Chen, who was in a daze. He then smiled at Xiao Chen indifferently, "Let''s go, what are you waiting for?"


    "Where to?" Xiao Chen was startled again and could not help but ask.


    Lin Tian looked at the half collapsed Sky Dragon City''s gate and then coldly said two words: "Yongan Mansion!"


    At the Yongan Mansion, Manager Luo had asked the soldier who came to call for help to tell the truth to Commander Luo.


    Commander Luo wasn''t surnamed Luo, but Luo Lie had given him the surname Luo. He was the same as Manager Luo, Luo Lie''s right-hand man and Luo Lie''s loyal dog slave.


    Commander Luo''s face darkened after hearing what the soldier had to say. He couldn''t believe it, "That little rascal has already broken through to the Qi Hai realm?"


    "Yes, that''s why Manager Luo asked me to come back and call for reinforcements. Commander, what should we do now?" The soldier asked with a bit of fear in his heart.


    The soldier had personally witnessed Lin Tian''s demon-like demeanor and still felt some fear.


    "What else can we do? All the elites of the Heavenly Dragon Guards were killed by that little bastard, and those who don''t live up to their expectations will all be sent to their deaths!" Commander Luo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You wait here, I''ll go find Deacon An!"


    "Deacon An?" The soldier let out a breath of relief. "If the Enforcer makes his move, that kid will definitely die."


    Commander An smiled but he did not deny it. Instead, he rushed into the inner courtyard of the Royal Mansion.


    Enforcer An was the prince''s biggest trump card, the only Charm Magician in Sky Dragon City!


    He was extremely powerful, and even the prince had always treated him with courtesy. When Commander Luo wanted to see him, he naturally had to lower his head and not dare to slight him in the slightest.


    One had to know, the reason why Enforcer An agreed to come as a guest was because he owed the prince a favor. With Commander Luo''s status, he couldn''t ask for this Enforcer An, but now that things were urgent, he could only try.


    Commander Luo stood outside Deacon An''s door and respectfully explained his purpose of coming here.


    The deacon was obviously impatient, "A mere Qi Hai warrior is not worth it for me to act against. What the hell are you? How dare you disturb me?"


    As he was speaking, the spiritual force had already affected Commander Luo. He felt dizzy and a sharp pain came from his sea of consciousness. However, he didn''t dare to resist and could only obey the order.


    However, after thinking about it for a moment, Deacon An continued, "Since the person who killed the young prince is not here yet, I will also help the young prince this time. At least I have returned a favor to him."


    After saying that, that deacon walked out of the room.


    But as soon as he walked out, the expression on Deacon An''s face slightly changed, but he immediately reacted.


    "So, he''s already here." Just now, his spiritual energy had covered the entire palace, and he had already detected the arrival of a Qi Hai warrior.


    "Symbol Master?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised for a bit, but he quickly reacted. It wasn''t strange for the Yongan Mansion to have a talisman master.


    He had already felt that when he arrived at the entrance of the manor, there was someone who was using their Spirit power to spy on him.


    However, in the beginning, Lin Tian did not react and he did not pay any attention to it. Now that he reacted, he naturally used his own Spirit power to directly push it back.


    "That kid is also a Symbol Master?" There was some surprise in the deacon''s voice, but soon after, he became curious.


    Earlier, he used his Spirit power to detect Lin Tian''s arrival, but just as he was about to pry into Lin Tian again, he was knocked back by a strong Spirit power. He could feel that the boy''s Spirit power felt very dense.


    "Interesting, let''s go take a look!" The attendants didn''t hesitate and directly brought Commander Luo out of the mansion.


    "It''s actually such a young Symbol Master?" The deacon saw Lin Tian''s extremely young face and couldn''t help but yell out in alarm. But after a while, his face once again surged with a heavy expression.


    "Looks like you really can''t underestimate someone who could kill the young prince and even dare to challenge the king''s manor. Such a young Symbol Master truly has the qualifications to be proud." There was a trace of a sinister look on Enforcer An''s face.


    Lin Tian also saw the Symbol Master who had spied on him just now, which was also Deacon An. While Deacon An was constantly looking at Lin Tian, Lin Tian was also sizing up Deacon An.


    "Little brother, who is your master? Which Symbol Master''s disciple is he?" Seeing that Lin Tian was so young, Deacon An couldn''t help but ask about his master.


    He had two reasons. First, because there were very few charm magicians, the circle was very small. Perhaps they all knew each other. If they knew each other, then they couldn''t act against each other to avoid hurting each other''s relationship.


    Perhaps he was the disciple of some important figure, so it was even more impossible for him to take action. Disciples of Symbol Masters, especially disciples of important figures, especially those disciples, could not be provoked, because Symbol Masters were very protective and were very famous.


    "I don''t have a master." Lin Tian coldly replied: "Are you a helper that the Luo Family invited?"


    "Yes, my name is An Yuan. My teacher is Master Lei Lie of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild. I''m staying here because I have some old friends with King Yongan." An Yuan actually directly told Lin Tian about his master and the relationship between him and the Luo Family.


    Lin Tian was stunned and a little doubtful. What did this Symbol Master called An Yuan mean by saying so much?


    "If you have a master, please speak of it so as not to hurt our relationship. If our master has an old friend, I can also act as a guarantor to dispel the misunderstanding between you and King Yongan." An Yuan asked again.


    "No need. Luo Lie must die." Lin Tian understood An Yuan''s meaning, but he replied without hesitation. If Luo Lie died, no one would be able to save him.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly said coldly to An Yuan: "If you want to help him, it''ll be the same. I''ll give you two choices right now. One is to die, two is to be my servant ¡­ ¡­"


    "You want to die?" He is a Symbol Master, yet Lin Tian dares to speak to him in such a manner. Forget it, even if he is the disciple of a huge figure, if he dares to insult me like this, I will just kill him.


    Hearing Lin Tian''s words, An Yuan couldn''t help but be furious.


    "You don''t want to?" Lin Tian didn''t say anything further and directly activated the divine soul within his Divine Palace. His monstrous mental strength was instantly controlled by his divine soul to surge out, "Then go and die."


    This was the first time Lin Tian had fought a Symbol Master. To be honest, he was a bit nervous. After all, he had never fought a Symbol Master before.


    However, he also knew that against Symbol Masters, he would have to rely on his own strength to swiftly kill them or use Mental Energy to contend against them.


    This An Yuan in front of his eyes was at least at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. It would be unrealistic to think that he could kill him quickly with just his own strength.


    Moreover, he had never used the strength of a Symbol Master to engage in a true battle with him. However, since he had encountered such an opportunity, he might as well test the strength of his own Symbol Master.


    Lin Tian''s soul suddenly moved. The Spirit power within the Divine Mansion instantly surged out like a tide and instantly enveloped the entire nearby area.


    "What a powerful Mental Energy. It seems like this kid has just learned Symbol Techniques. How come his Mental Energy is so powerful?" An Yuan was immediately shocked by Lin Tian''s mental strength, but even so, An Yuan was still able to see that Lin Tian was only a beginner. Although his mental strength was strong, his manipulation techniques were still very rough.


    Thinking of this, An Yuan no longer underestimated his opponent, and almost at the same time Lin Tian made his move, An Yuan also made his move. Thinking of this, An Yuan no longer underestimated his opponent, and almost at the same time Lin Tian made his move, An Yuan also made his move.


    But before the two powers rushed in front of Lin Tian, Lin Tian''s strong mental strength had already shattered An Yuan''s mental strength.


    The two Spiritual Energies collided and scattered in all directions. This caused Xiao Chen and Commander Luo, who were standing beside the two of them, to feel dizzy.


    The strength of a Symbol Master was their Spiritual Force. Spiritual Force and Essence were the same, but the cultivation method was different.


    "What a powerful Mental Energy!" An Yuan was surprised for a moment, but his curiosity was piqued. Just what kind of status did this kid have? Could it be that he was just a child from the commoner district? But a commoner district''s disciple had access to the Dao of talismans, so how could he have such a powerful spiritual force?


    In an instant, An Yuan''s mind was going through a hundred cycles, trying to figure out Lin Tian''s true identity.

 C47

    This made Lin Tian a bit excited. Ever since he had established the Divine Manor, this was the first time he had met a Symbol Master, but Lin Tian also wanted to understand that his own Symbol Dao cultivation, in the end, the one in front of him, this Enforcer An, was just a touchstone.


    The soul in Lin TianAo''s Heavenly God Manor once again condensed an extremely terrifying Mental Energy, which directly exploded outwards, shooting towards An Yuan.


    An Yuan did not dare to be careless anymore. The kid in front of him had obviously just stepped into the Dao of Talismans and was controlling his own spiritual power. He was still a bit immature, but his mental power was so tyrannical that it made An Yuan''s heart palpitate.


    An Yuan took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. He began to control his spirit power within his Divine Mansion.


    "Bam!"


    The two of them once again exchanged a blow. The collision of Mental Energy immediately spread out. Their bodies slightly trembled. Mental Energy attacks were clearly not as dangerous as the Yuan Power clash. However, the degree of danger was not any less than the clash of Yuan Power.


    It was even more dangerous than fighting with Essence Qi. If he wasn''t careful, it could cause his soul to be damaged, even his spirit to collapse, become an idiot, or even die.


    As a result, Lin Tian did not dare to drop his guard. With the circulation of his soul, he started to nonstop mobilize his Spirit power within his Spirit Palace. Not only did it protect his body, it also firmly stabilized his Sea of Consciousness.


    In that previous attack, Lin Tian had actually suffered a little because An Yuan was standing there without moving at all. However, Lin Tian had to retreat half a step before being able to offset the power emitted from the Spiritual Energy collision.


    Currently, Commander Luo and Xiao Chen were hiding far away. They could only avoid a battle between Symbol Masters of this level. This was because the energy emitted from their Spiritual Energy collisions was not something their sea of consciousness could withstand.


    Although Lin Tian had suffered a little, he wasn''t discouraged at all. What kind of person was An Yuan? He was a true Symbol Master, and when he cultivated the Symbol Dao, Lin Tian still didn''t know what Symbol Dao was. Lin Tian had only just touched the Symbol Dao, and was completely new.


    There was no difference between the practice of talismans and martial arts. They were constantly undergoing tempering and battling, and were constantly improving.


    Lin Tian had only just started cultivating. His future cultivation was still quite long.


    As a result, the current An Yuan was an existence for Lin Tian to practice with.


    However, An Yuan was even more shocked. He had been immersed in the Dao of Talismans for many years and had been taught by a master of the art, so he was quite famous in the entire Qingzhou. However, now that he had just arrived in Sky Dragon City, he had actually met such a genius in the Dao of Talismans.


    This guy was definitely a beginner, but he hadn''t been at a disadvantage at all when he had exchanged two blows with the beginner.


    This was the most unacceptable thing for An Yuan.


    If such an existence were to be kept alive, it would be a waste in the future. Right now, An Yuan couldn''t care less about the matters of his Master. Before he accepted a Master, there must have been no enmity between them, but now that the enmity between the two of them had been formed, he naturally couldn''t be merciful.


    Thinking of this, An YuanDeng''s spiritual force instantly surged out, crazily attacking at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian didn''t dodge and directly rushed forward towards An Yuan.


    Before long, the two of them had already exchanged dozens of blows.


    But every time they collided, Lin Tian would always be at a disadvantage.


    It was his first time fighting with a Symbol Master, so he didn''t have much experience against his opponent. Naturally, he suffered a bit, but he still relied on his near terrifying boundless Spirit power to exchange over a hundred blows with An Yuan.


    However, as the number of exchanges increased, Lin Tian''s control over his Spirit power also gradually became more familiar. Thus, right now, Lin Tian instead retreated and took the initiative to attack.


    Lin Tian''s battle had gained him more and more, but An Yuan was different. The bigger he got, the more shocked he was. He could already tell that this brat was using him as a touchstone.


    As the two fought, this kid''s progress was becoming faster and faster. His control of Mental Energy at the start was still a bit immature, but now it was more like it was something to be taken for granted.


    "I have underestimated you, boy. However, it is time to end this here." An Yuan let out a cold snort. This kid''s mental strength was one of the few people that An Yuan had ever seen. He should be an extremely talented genius.


    But the more he did so, the stronger An Yuan''s killing intent became. He was now thoroughly aware that this brat''s mental strength was only extremely formidable. Other than that, however, no other hand was broken.


    However, An Yuan was different. An Yuan possessed a talisman skill!


    "Bam!" With another collision, the two of them trembled slightly. An Yuan took the opportunity to retreat a few steps before regaining his footing.


    A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Brat, since you''re unwilling to admit your master''s identity and even insulted me, don''t blame me for being impolite!"


    Lin Tian coldly laughed: "If you want to fight then fight. Cut the crap."


    But just as he finished speaking, Lin Tian felt that something was wrong. Because at that moment, the divine soul in his Divine Palace suddenly became restless and uneasy.


    Lin Tian''s gaze abruptly shook, but he didn''t know why such a situation had occurred.


    At this moment, Horned Demon''s voice finally rang out, "Boy, you must be careful. This is a Talisman Skill!"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but when he looked at An Yuan again, he discovered that something wasn''t right.


    An Yuan''s Spiritual Energy gushed out in that instant. However, he did not directly blast it out this time. Instead, it rapidly rotated in front of him. Not long after, it formed into a terrifying shuttle shaped force that flew directly towards Lin Tian.


    An Yuan said coldly, "Brat, even I envy your talent in spiritual power. However, although you have an unrivalled amount of spiritual power, you are completely unable to make use of it." This is your greatest sorrow for me. Originally, you might have been a genius in the Dao of Talismans, but now that you have met me, there won''t be anymore. What I like the most is to kill a genius. "


    An Yuan''s face revealed a cruel smile. The spiritual force in front of him also quickly turned into a sharp shuttle shaped dagger. As An Yuan''s spiritual force continued to condense and condense, the shuttle shaped dagger that was formed from the spiritual force seemed to faintly materialize, becoming corporeal instead of illusory.


    At this moment, the soul within Lin TianAo''s Heavenly God Palace seemed to have felt this energy as it began to throb rapidly. Clearly, it felt a little uneasy.


    An Yuan suddenly shouted, "God Transforming Thrust!"


    The shuttle shaped dagger instantly rushed towards Lin Tian and went straight for his Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian at once felt his entire body turn cold, a chill instantly enveloping his entire body.


    He did not dare to be careless. Mental Energy instantly gushed out and protected his entire body. At the same time, he also divided a portion of his Mental Energy and charged directly towards the dagger.


    But Lin Tian''s actions were useless. The strength of the dagger was too strong. It directly cut through Lin Tian''s mental strength and continued to rush towards Lin Tian.


    Although Lin Tian''s heart was not in a mess, he circulated his mental strength as he wanted to block the dagger. At the same time, he communicated with the Horned Demon, wanting to know if the Horned Demon had a way to dissipate this force.


    But sadly, Horned Demon could not do anything because after all, it was the power of a Talisman and it was not something that he could fight against right now.


    Previously, Lin Tian had heard from Horned Demon more or less some information about talisman techniques. The so-called talisman techniques were also called spiritual force secret skills. Just like martial arts, talisman techniques were the martial arts techniques of the talisman dao.


    Therefore, Talisman Skills were extremely rare and incomparably precious in the Dao of Talismans. Normal people would never have such a thing. However, it wasn''t rare for An Yuan to possess a Talisman Skill.


    After all, An Yuan''s master was a master of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild.


    Lin Tian stared blankly as the shuttle shaped dagger rushed towards his own Divine Palace, but he was powerless.


    "Haha, boy, today, aren''t you still going to die by my hands?" An Yuan laughed out loud, his eyes filled with excitement.


    In a short span of time, An Yuan was actually unable to do anything to Lin Tian. But now, he didn''t think that once he used his Symbol Technique, this kid would be helpless.


    As An Yuan was speaking, the shuttle shaped dagger had already rushed into Lin Tian''s Divine Palace. After entering Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, Lin Tian felt his Divine Palace fiercely shake as the shuttle shaped dagger quickly rushed towards Lin Tian''s Divine Soul.


    Once his soul was damaged, he would become an idiot, or even die.


    "Am I really going to die by his hands?" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with unwillingness, but since the opponent had a Symbol Technique, Lin Tian had no choice.


    He had underestimated the dangers of a battle between charm magicians and was optimistic about his own strength.


    However, just as Lin Tian closed his eyes and was about to die, a sudden change occurred.


    At the same time, his soul also began to rapidly rotate. At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of his soul, and in that instant, it directly welcomed the shuttle shaped dagger.


    In the next moment, the dagger was suddenly absorbed by the white light on Lin Tian''s forehead.


    "Ancient Dragon Talisman?" Lin Tian was both surprised and happy. Before this, he had never thought of what use the Ancient Dragon Symbol would have, but now it seemed that the Ancient Dragon Symbol always had its own uses when caught off guard.


    Lin Tian felt an indescribable comfort in his soul. It turned out that the Ancient Dragon Symbol had directly swallowed the shuttle shaped dagger, transforming it into an incomparably pure Mental Energy that was absorbed by Lin Tian.

 C48

    "How is this possible?" Seeing Lin Tian endure his own Spirit Transformation Stinger attack, An Yuan shouted in disbelief.


    He couldn''t kill this brat with his Spirit Transformation Spikes?


    Lin Tian was still standing there perfectly fine. There wasn''t anything wrong with him.


    "I can''t let him stay. Even if I have to sacrifice half of my life, I will kill him today!" An Yuan could imagine the shock in his heart. It had to be said that he had used his own talisman technique.


    However, this brat did not know any Symbol Techniques.


    And most importantly, An Yuan felt a trace of fear from Lin Tian.


    Not only was his Spirit power incomparably strong, it was something that An Yuan had never seen before. More importantly, his ability to learn was also incomparably terrifying. When Lin Tian first met him, Lin Tian''s control of his Spirit power was still a bit rough, but now, he had completely grasped the Spirit power and could easily use his own Spirit power.


    This kid was absolutely an absolute genius on the Dao of Talismans that he had seen before.


    He couldn''t allow such a genius opponent to live, especially now that the enmity between the two of them had been completely resolved.


    With a fierce heart, An Yuan no longer hesitated and bit the tip of his tongue.


    In an instant, a terrifying Spiritual Energy surged out from An Yuan''s body. Not long later, an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy suddenly appeared within An Yuan''s body. Not long after, that Spiritual Energy had instantly turned into a transparent little person.


    "Destiny divine soul!" Horned Demon''s tone suddenly turned serious. He could not help but turn towards Lin Tian as he said, "Brat, you have to be careful. This An Yuan is going to risk his life. This is his soul."


    "This is his soul?" He also didn''t think that An Yuan would actually use his soul to fight with Lin Tian.


    "He''s going to risk his life." Horned Demon''s voice carried a trace of worry. "Anyuan is a genuine Symbol Master after all. Moreover, he has refined his own soul for who knows how many years. If he were to use his own soul, you''d have to be careful."


    Lin Tian nodded his head, he did not dare be careless, the attacks from his soul were the most terrifying, because once he used his soul to attack, there would be no end to it.


    Either your soul was destroyed by me, or my soul was destroyed by you.


    But of course, sending out the soul was also a move to kill a thousand enemies and self-destruct eight hundred times over.


    Because even if you have destroyed other divine souls, you will have to pay an enormous price.


    "Kid, prepare to die!"


    Just as Lin Tian was thinking about how to deal with it, An Yuan had already finished condensing his soul.


    A transparent miniature An Yuan, or in other words, An Yuan''s soul, immediately rushed crazily towards Lin Tian.


    At this moment, the soul within Lin Tianshu Manor began to throb frantically. Clearly, it had felt the power of An Yuan''s soul in the outside world.


    However, Lin Tian wasn''t in a hurry as he had the experience of using the God Transforming Spike. He indifferently looked at An Yuan.


    An Yuan thought he had been scared silly by his methods, to think he was just standing there motionlessly. He was secretly delighted.


    He controlled his soul and crazily rushed towards Lin Tian. In the blink of an eye, An Yuan''s soul directly rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    Just at this moment, a throbbing sensation came from Lin Tian''s Divine Manor. Lin Tian was slightly startled, but just as he was about to go check, Lin Tian''s soul actually took the initiative to rush out.


    "This is?" Lin Tian was surprised because right now when his soul rushed out, Lin Tian did not feel any fear. On the contrary, Lin Tian felt his own soul being incomparably excited, it was excitement.


    "Could it be the power of the Ancient Dragon Talisman?" Lin Tian was both surprised and happy. Thinking back to how his soul relied on the power of the Immemorial Dragon Symbol to directly swallow the power of the God Transforming Spike and take it as his own, Lin Tian Deng became excited.


    Even though he did not know the exact function of the Archaic Dragon Talisman, he knew that the Archaic Dragon Talisman was extremely powerful, and that was enough.


    Lin Tian''s heart was at ease. The Ancient Dragon Talisman was his peace of mind.


    Indeed, when An Yuan''s life''s soul arrived in front of Lin Tian, Lin Tian''s soul also instantly crashed into An Yuan''s life''s soul.


    The collision of the two souls caused Lin Tian and An Yuan to feel a wave of dizziness.


    The clash of the souls was extremely dangerous. If one was not careful, it was possible for their souls to be destroyed and die.


    Right at this moment, Lin Tian''s soul once again emitted a strange light between his eyebrows. Lin Tian''s palpitation instantly disappeared and instead, a warm current flowed around Lin Tian''s soul. In a short moment, it spread throughout his body, causing Lin Tian to feel incomparably comfortable.


    But after Lin Tian''s soul sent out that light, An Yuan''s soul immediately felt something was wrong. He turned around and wanted to escape, but it was already too late. Lin Tian''s soul suddenly exploded with an extremely terrifying devouring force.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s soul suddenly exploded as it crazily swept towards An Yuan''s soul. The light on Lin Tian''s soul radiated greatly and instantly enveloped An Yuan''s soul.


    An Yuan screamed as his face turned pale. He could already feel what was happening, but it was impossible for him to retract his soul.


    Lin Tian''s soul suddenly exerted force at this moment. An extremely huge suction force instantly surged out, directly pulling An Yuan''s soul, which wanted to escape, back.


    An Yuan''s face was terrifyingly pale. With great determination in his heart, he spat out another mouthful of blood and immediately flew back. Light also exploded from his soul as he struggled to fly back.


    But how could Lin Tian''s soul let him do as he wished? A white light once again sprayed out from Lin Tian''s soul, directly enveloping An Yuan''s soul. An Yuan''s soul was immediately frozen in mid-air, unable to move.


    He had also lost the power to control his soul.


    It was also at this moment that An Yuan''s soul suddenly let out a miserable wail. A terrifying thing happened as Lin Tian''s soul directly swallowed An Yuan''s soul.


    As An Yuan''s soul entered his body, Lin Tian Deng felt an indescribable sense of comfort gush from his soul.


    Lin Tian''s soul shone brightly, but after a while, it returned to calm again. However, Lin Tian could clearly see that his soul began to become more and more solid. The originally small and transparent soul now seemed to have become much more solid.


    At the same time, An Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood after his soul had been devoured.


    His face was filled with fear as he looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. He had never thought that Lin Tian would actually be able to devour his soul.


    However, he didn''t have time to say anything. His body collapsed limply onto the ground.


    An Yuan was dead, as dead as he could be, because his soul had been devoured and he had lost his soul.


    Seeing An Yuan''s death with his own eyes, Commander Luo''s pupils abruptly constricted. He looked at Lin Tian as if he had seen a ghost and exclaimed: "You, you actually killed Deacon An!"


    "Not only do I want to kill him, I also want to kill you!" Lin Tian''s soul once again moved. A powerful Spiritual Force surged out and instantly rushed towards Commander Luo.


    Commander Luo immediately let out a miserable scream. He didn''t even have time to run before his body softly fell to the ground. This was the terror of a Symbol Master. With a flick of his finger, he could kill.


    Although Commander Luo was a first level Qi Hai warrior, he killed him instantly with the power of a Symbol Master in front of him.


    After killing Commander Luo, Lin Tian immediately retracted his soul. Once the soul returned to his body, Lin Tian clearly felt the power of his soul begin to become even stronger, especially his own mental strength.


    The current Lin Tian, the Spirit power in his Divine Palace was like the vast ocean, extremely terrifying.


    Lin Tian knew that all of this was caused by the soul which he had just devoured.


    After killing Commander Luo, Lin Tian directly said to Xiao Chen: "The rest is up to you. I have some insights to comprehend, so I''ll stay here to cultivate for a while."


    The battle between Lin Tian and An Yuan was indeed fruitful.


    Moreover, the battle had just ended. This kind of reward had to be quickly digested.


    Xiao Chen headed directly to the Eternal An Royal Mansion. At this moment, there were probably not many experts left in the Eternal An Royal Mansion. Xiao Chen could deal with this by himself, and use this time to quickly gain insights into the results of his battle. After this battle, he had a new understanding of the Dao of Talismans, his Spiritual Energy, and the control of his soul.


    At the same time An Yuan died, in Qingzhou, the Charm Magician''s Association.


    In a certain room in the Symbol Master Guild, a young disciple suddenly rushed out. Not long after, he arrived at a large hall.


    Inside the hall, a middle-aged man was explaining something to a group of Symbol Masters.


    However, seeing the anxious expression on the young man''s face, the middle-aged man paused his lecture and went straight to the door.


    "Shan, why are you in such a panic?" The middle-aged man''s tone was somewhat unsatisfied. Symbol Masters cultivated the power of the soul and had the most control over their emotions. This disciple in front of him had followed him for so many years, yet he was still so flustered and flustered.


    "Master, junior brother An Yuan''s spirit tablet has shattered?" The disciple didn''t have time to explain and directly said to the middle-aged man.


    "What?" The middle-aged man''s face darkened. "An Yuan is actually dead? Who killed him?"


    "I don''t know, but Master, if I remember correctly, Junior An Yuan should have gone to Sky Dragon City!" The disciple replied.


    "Sky Dragon City?" The middle-aged man frowned, "Why would he go to such a remote place?"


    "I''m not sure, but junior brother An Yuan said he owes me a favor and wants to return it ¡­" The disciple replied again.


    "He''s not good at martial arts and yet he dares to come out on his own. He''s courting death. But no matter what, he''s still Lei Lie''s disciple. I can''t just die like this. Go find out who killed him." The middle-aged man had a sinister look on his face.


    "Yes, Master." The disciple quickly left.

 C49

    At this moment, the Eternal An Mansion was in a state of chaos. With Xiao Chen''s strength, entering the Eternal An Prince''s Mansion was like entering a realm devoid of people.


    Lin Tian didn''t think of anything else and focused on comprehending the symbol dao battle just now.


    While he was comprehending, he was listening to Horned Demon once again explain the classification of the rune dao. Right now, Lin Tian could be considered to have a completely new understanding of the rune dao.


    Horned Demon had said before that the cultivation of Sky Dragon Continent was divided into rune dao and martial arts.


    With the body as the foundation, the Essence, secret techniques, divine abilities, and even martial arts ¡­ these were all martial arts.


    And based on the soul, the spiritual energy one trained was the Dao of talismans.


    The Dao of Talismans was also divided into two types. One was the Dao of talisman markings, and the other was the Dao of Spiritual Force.


    The so called Spirit power was like An Yuan who had just fought against Lin Tian. Furthermore, Lin Tian was currently cultivating the path of Spirit power.


    This was also to open up the Divine Manor in his sea of consciousness, find his own soul, and refine it into the Divine Soul. From this, he could create the spirit energy to attack others. This was the way of the spirit energy.


    And once the Divine Manor was established and one was able to cultivate the Dao of Mental Energy, one could be called a Symbol Master.


    The number of Symbol Masters was extremely few, which was why they were so precious. Most of the people on the Sky Dragon Continent only cultivated the Martial Dao and not the Symbol Dao. The reason why such a situation occurred was because of the difficulty in cultivating the Symbol Dao.


    The threshold to cultivate in the Dao of Talismans was incomparably high because it was extremely difficult to find one''s own soul in order to open up the Divine Manor. Generally speaking, only those with the strength of a natural born soul or extremely strong mental strength could train in the Dao of Talismans.


    Furthermore, the establishment of the Castrum Divinitus required the guidance of a master, because the creation of the Castrum Divinitus required the cultivation of a secret technique in order to succeed.


    Otherwise, if he forcefully opened up the Divine Palace, he would only have one outcome, and that was becoming an idiot. It was even possible that he might go berserk and die because he forcefully opened up the Divine Palace.


    Therefore, it was extremely difficult to be called a Symbol Master. This was the most important reason why Symbol Masters were so rare.


    However, although there were few Symbol Masters, they were extremely well-organized. As long as there were a large number of Symbol Masters, there would be a Symbol Master Guild in the larger prefectures.


    A large number of powerful charm magicians were gathered inside, and their strength was incomparably tyrannical. They were a force that could not be underestimated.


    For example, in the Azure Province, there was a Symbol Master Guild. And the person who just died, An Yuan, who died by Lin Tian''s hand, claimed that he was the disciple of Master Lei Lie from the Azure Province Symbol Master Guild.


    It was naturally impossible for Lin Tian to know who Lei Lie was, so he didn''t mind. The powers of the Azure Province probably wouldn''t be able to find his head no matter how hard they searched. After all, the matter of him being a Symbol Master was something only he and Xiao Yunhai knew.


    On the other hand, a Symbol Master''s method of attack was the same as a martial art. It was called a Symbol Skill, but in reality, it was just a disguised martial art.


    The Spirit Spikes that An Yuan had just displayed were talisman skills. Lin Tian had never practiced talisman skills before, so he didn''t know how terrifying the talisman skills that he could use would be if he had cultivated talisman skills.


    Talisman techniques were not something that could be found anywhere, because there were very few talismans, so talisman skills were even rarer. Not to mention those good talismans, even those trash talismans were extremely difficult to obtain.


    The other method of cultivation in the Dao of Talismans was the Dao of talisman markings.


    This was also the most important reason why charm magicians were revered by many. There were also countless great powers competing with each other to curry favor with them.


    These runes contained the essence of strength. Those runes could be used on their own, for example, the Fiery Charm. As long as the power within the Charm was activated, it would turn into a raging inferno. In addition, there were also the Heavenly Lightning Charm, Body Cleansing Charm, Powerful Charm, and so on.


    In addition, there are also inscriptions that can be used by Symbol Masters, such as an ordinary longsword. If it is used by Symbol Masters, not only will its toughness greatly increase, but its might will also increase by tens or even a hundred times.


    This is also the method of a Symbol Master. However, this level of Symbol Master is different from those who specialize in Mental Energy. Therefore, this level of Symbol Master is known as a Symbol Master.


    It was precisely because of the existence of a Symbol Master that caused all the large powers to chase after him. It was because a good Symbol Master could practically rely on his own strength to strengthen an entire clan.


    There was not a single Charm Magician in the entire Sky Dragon City, let alone a Charm Magician.


    Therefore, this An Yuan clearly did not have much strength, but he was actually regarded as a guest of honor by King Yongan, Luo Lie. It was because he had taken a fancy to the status of a Symbol Master.


    From what Horned Demon had said, Symbol Masters were divided into ordinary Symbol Masters and spirit Symbol Masters.


    Ordinary Symbol Masters were ordinary Symbol Masters. They were Symbol Masters who had just established the Divine Mansion and started cultivating Mental Energy. They were known as'' Common Symbol Masters'' and were divided into upper, middle, and lower tier. Lin Tian was now an Inferior Grade Symbol Master.


    Above the Superior Grade Symbol Master was the Spiritual Symbol Master.


    A Spirit Symbol Master was a Symbol Master that was able to condense an Destiny Soul Symbol within his or her own soul. An Destiny Soul Symbol was a unique type of Symbol. This symbol was directly carved between the Soul Diagram''s eyebrows.


    The Destiny Soul Symbol was the source of the Symbol Master''s soul''s power. As long as the Soul Symbol was not scattered, one''s power would not be exhausted and the Destiny Soul Symbol could unceasingly condense the Mental Energy. Only with the Destiny Soul Symbol would one be considered an official Symbol Master and would one no longer be a low-ranked Symbol Master.


    Destiny spirit runes also had all kinds of unimaginable functions. As long as one''s Destiny spirit talisman was not destroyed, even if one''s body was shattered, one''s soul could leave one''s body, and one''s body could even be reborn, becoming extremely powerful.


    Just now, An Yuan was only an ordinary Symbol Master. However, he was clearly better than Lin Tian. He should be a mid-grade Symbol Master who was about to step into the upper grade.


    However, he hadn''t yet broken through to the level of a spirit runemaster, so he naturally couldn''t be compared to Lin Tian. That was why his soul had been devoured by Lin Tian, who possessed the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    However, this time, Lin Tian had swallowed An Yuan''s soul. His mental strength had risen greatly and his soul had become more and more corporeal. Presumably, he would be able to break through to the middle rank Symbol Master realm in the near future.


    After Lin Tian finished digesting all of this, he couldn''t help but ask, "Oh right, what exactly is that Ancient Dragon Symbol?"


    Previously, Lin Tian only knew that in the area between his soul''s eyebrows, there was an Ancient Dragon Symbol, but at that time, something urgent happened and Lin Tian didn''t have the time to ask what exactly that Ancient Dragon Symbol was. Right now, he could also ask what that Ancient Dragon Symbol was.


    "The Ancient Dragon Symbol is the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol!" Hornless'' words were shocking.


    "Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    His heart was in disbelief. Ever since his own blood awakened the Dragon Transformation Token, Lin Tian had discovered that he and Zu Long could no longer be separated.


    His dantian was the whirlpool of the dragon race''s dantian. He only had one meridian, and it was also a dragon''s meridian. Furthermore, the whirlpool of his dantian contained a drop of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence.


    This was the blood essence of an Ancestral Dragon!


    Not only that, he had also absorbed the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol and engraved it between his eyebrows.


    The secret technique he trained in in establishing his Castrum Divinitus was also a secret technique of the Dragon race.


    Moreover, right now in his Divine Palace, there lived a fake dragon horned soul.


    All in all, from the moment his bloodline awakened the Dragon Transformation Token, the Ancestral Dragons had been entangled with each other.


    Also, how did the Dragon Transformation token end up in his hands? Uncle Yu said that his father had left it for him, but where did he get it from?


    But, although the Lin Clan was powerful and had a long history, their influence was only limited to the Tian Luo Country. Furthermore, the Lin Clan had only started out as the invincible Great Marshal Lin, with a history of only a thousand years.


    But, when was this matter with the Ancestral Dragon Tribe? And what kind of relationship did the Lin Clan have with the Divine Dragon Clan?


    As if he understood Lin Tian''s thoughts, Horned Demon also became a bit strange: "I was originally suspicious that all of this was related to your family, but now it seems like it shouldn''t be. All of this should be related to your father.


    He also knew that all of this was a heaven-shattering opportunity. If anything on his body were to be spread out, it would alarm the entire Sky Dragon Continent. Countless experts would come knocking on their doors in an instant to kill Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian knew that whether it was the archaic dragon talisman, ancestral dragon blood, the Dragon Transformation token, or the egg in his dantian, all of them were extraordinary.


    All of this could not be said to be good or bad, but the closer Lin Tian''s relationship with the ancestor dragon, the more uneasy Lin Tian became.


    "Brat, this Ancient Dragon Tally has been here for far too long and is extremely damaged. Its current strength is not even one ten thousandth of the power of the Ancestral Dragon." Horned Demon indifferently said, "But even so, with the Immemorial Dragon Symbol in your hand, even if you meet a true Soul Symbol Master, you still have the ability to fight."


    "After all, the most powerful aspect of the Ancient Dragon Symbol is devouring!" Horned Demon seemed to have sunk into reminiscence as he began to recall how powerful the Ancient Dragon Symbol was when it followed the Ancestor Dragon.


    "The dragon race cultivates both the Dao of talismans and martial arts. Not only is the Ancestor Dragon invincible in body, but the soul is also number one in the world." Horned Demon replied in an indifferent manner, "Therefore, when the Ancestral Dragon formed the Ancient Dragon Symbol, all the dragon clans were able to condense their own Destiny Dragon Symbol."


    "The Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons have mastered the different rules that the Ancestral Dragon left behind. They have the domain energy, the Ancestral Dragon has Nine Sons, and the Nine Dragons all have their own Life Dragon Talisman. They are known as the Nine Dragons Talisman." Horned Demon talked about the secrets of the dragon race.


    "The nine Divine Dragon Talismans are already scattered all over the Sky Dragon Continent, but with the Ancestral Dragon Ancient Dragon Talisman in my hands, I will definitely be able to attract the nine Divine Dragon Talismans. At that time, I might even be able to gather the nine Divine Dragon Talismans and restore the power of the Ancestral Dragon Ancient Dragon Talisman." When Horned Demon said this, he couldn''t help but sigh. "Brat, the dragon race''s hopes are all on you."

 C50

    He did not know why the Horned Dragon kept saying that the Dragon Clan''s future and hope were all on him. Lin Tian also knew that the Dragon Clan must have other secrets that Lin Tian did not know, but Horned Demon had never said that the Dragon Clan could say so much today. Lin Tian''s world had already been opened.


    However, he also understood that with the Dragon Transformation token as a precious treasure and the many lucky chances he had obtained, even if Lin Tian wanted to choose between him and the dragon clan, it would be impossible.


    The moment Lin Tian''s blood was about to awaken the Dragon Transformation Token, Lin Tian was unable to stay out of it. No matter what Karma the dragon race had, he had to bear it.


    Lin Tian''s gaze was firm: "Horned Demon, I know that you still have many secrets that you haven''t told me, but it doesn''t matter. I know that I have causes and effects that the dragon race and I cannot unravel, but it doesn''t matter, I will work hard to cultivate and strengthen myself until the day you tell me everything."


    But you are a descendant of my Dragon race, so you will naturally have the Dragon Transformation token and I to help you escape danger. Don''t worry, your strength is not strong to a certain extent, so I will not tell you anything, but it will only increase your worries. When your strength has reached a certain degree, I will tell you everything.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled: "But now, I think it''s best for me to first destroy the Eternal An Mansion first!"


    The Yongan Mansion was in chaos. Even though there were Heavenly Dragon Guards protecting them, in front of Xiao Chen, they were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs, utterly defeated.


    By the time Lin Tian entered the Yongan Mansion, the entire Mansion had already become a burial ground.


    Countless corpses piled up, and the Celestial Dragon Guards'' corpses were everywhere.


    Lin Tian didn''t feel the slightest bit of guilt. Although Luo Lie was known as the King Yongan, under his rule, the entire Sky Dragon City was not at peace. The Sky Dragon Guards were his henchmen, and the bullying of men and women was done many times.


    Lin Tian had come from the commoner district to begin with, and such matters were already common to everyone. However, since Luo Lie had provoked him, and even forced Uncle Yu to his death, and even wanted to kill him, there was no need to be merciful.


    Lin Tian''s character was a vengeful type. Not showing mercy to the enemy was Lin Tian''s way of handling affairs. He would absolutely not change it.


    Lin Tian charged all the way into Prince Yongan''s residence and beheaded those who weren''t dead yet. It could be considered as giving them an end.


    Not long after, Xiao Chen and Lin Tian stood outside the Eternal An Mansion. Not a single person from the Eternal An Prince''s Mansion remained.


    Xiao Chen looked at Lin Tian gently, as though he wanted to see something from Lin Tian''s hands. However, Lin Tian''s expression was ice-cold, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his emotions. After a while, Lin Tian said in a low voice, "Burn it.


    "Alright." Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He found a torch and tossed it directly into the Eternal An Royal Mansion. He opened his mouth and exhaled; the great fire immediately ignited.


    Lin Tian looked outside the city. The raging fire behind his back finally eased some of Lin Tian''s anger: "Uncle Yu, after so many years, this tumor of the Yongan Mansion has finally been uprooted for the citizens of our commoner district. "Your spirit in heaven can rest in peace now. I will live well, I will find my father and mother, and I will also restore the glory of the Lin Clan back then ¡­"


    Looking at the raging fire, Lin Tian suddenly thought of a lot of things. The Zhang Yi who had revealed the news to him before had a sister, but because she was pretty, she was forcefully taken by a steward to be a concubine.


    The next day, his sister hanged herself. Lin Tian still remembered that her sister was always very concerned about Lin Tian, every winter came, her sister would always weave two pairs of winter boots, one for Zhang Yi and one for Lin Tian.


    Zhang Yi was unable to cultivate. Even if he wanted to take revenge, it was impossible, so Lin Tian was able to cultivate, which was why he had to work so hard to cultivate.


    He was determined to avenge his sister.


    Now, he''d finally accomplished it. From today onwards, the Eternal Peace Imperial Manor would no longer exist.


    Unknowingly, Lin Tian''s eyes turned red. Xiao Chen looked at Lin Tian strangely before asking, "What''s wrong?"


    "I''ve thought of a lot of things." Lin Tian restrained his emotions and replied in a low voice.


    "What should we do next?" Xiao Chen could not help but ask. The current Xiao Chen actually admired Lin Tian a little. He clearly loved and hated him, and he was not weak either.


    Xiao Chen felt that he was following Lin Tian''s lead. Xiao Chen did not know why.


    Perhaps it was the beginning of Lin Tian''s "We are friends".


    Hearing Xiao Chen ask this, Lin Tian gently withdrew his gaze and smiled, "Master should still be pestering Luo Lie right now. Even if Luo Lie saw Manager Luo sending him a signal, he would still be unable to return even if his Royal Mansion were to catch fire. Let''s take advantage of this time to do something else."


    "Something else?" Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment before asking, "What do you want to do?"


    "To the Li family and Zhao family." Lin Tian slightly smiled and said.


    "Li family, Zhao family?" Xiao Chen was startled, he did not know why Lin Tian went to these two clans.


    But Lin Tian did not reply. He had already made a decision in his heart. Since he wanted to make a move, then he must be ruthless and not hold back.


    The Li family and Zhao family were both Eternal Peace''s Eagles and Dogs, and the reason they were able to become the number one and second largest families in Sky Dragon City was entirely because they had colluded with the Eternal An Prince''s Mansion.


    This was how things had developed today. Prince Yongan''s mansion had done evil, and they were acting as accomplices for the tiger.


    Also, if Lin Tian did not remember wrongly, these two should have been crippled by Lin Tian. Then, no matter what, sooner or later, they would go find Lin Tian, even if Lin Tian did not go look for them.


    But when they found Lin Tian, he was a bit too passive. Of course, Lin Tian first had to find them. If they didn''t do it, they wouldn''t stop. The sky in Sky Dragon City should be changed.


    He quickly arrived at the west city of Sky Dragon City. The Yongan Mansion was in the east city, the two great clans were in the west city, and only the commoner district was in the outskirts.


    The Li family was still brightly lit.


    The Li family''s Patriarch, Li Feng, had an anxious expression on his face. Such a big thing had happened in Sky Dragon City, he naturally knew about it. He didn''t expect that a kid from the commoner district would have such power to kill so many Heavenly Dragon Guards.


    Therefore, he and the head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Yin, had been discussing countermeasures together.


    At this moment, a servant suddenly shouted from the outside, "Patriarch! Patriarch! Something bad has happened! East of the city is on fire!"


    Both of them were shocked. Li Feng glanced at Zhao Yin, and then the two of them shouted, "Something has happened to the Wang Mansion!"


    The two of them rushed out at once, and saw that the place where the Yongan Mansion was located was set ablaze with flames. The monstrous flames seemed to illuminate the entire Sky Dragon City.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." The two of them sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with astonishment. Was this the brat''s scheme? He had actually set the Eternal Peace Palace on fire!


    However, they suddenly thought of a question. Where was Luo Lie? Where did King Yongan go?


    Luo Lie was only at the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage and was already no match for Xiao Yunhai. This time, if it wasn''t for Xiao Yunhai holding back and suppressing his strength, Luo Lie would have already died under the palm of Xiao Yunhai''s hand.


    Luo Lie had long since seen the signal Manager Luo had given him. At this moment, he also saw the raging flames in Sky Dragon City. His eyes were completely bloodshot as he yelled at Xiao Yunhai: "Xiao Yunhai, what are you trying to do?"


    "Reclaiming the old." Xiao Yunhai indifferently replied: "It''s been a long time. I have finally returned to the Xinghe Realm, so I naturally have to familiarize myself with my strength. King Yongan is an expert at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, and I can only familiarize myself with my strength as soon as possible if I were to fight with you."


    "Are you really going to rebel?" Luo Lie naturally knew that Xiao Yunhai wanted to stall him. It was fundamentally impossible for him to escape. Right now, he could only use these words to scare Xiao Yunhai.


    "I would not dare to rebel. I have never said that I would rebel." Xiao Yunhai indifferently replied, the strength in his hands did not decrease in the slightest.


    "Xiao Yunhai, if you allow your disciple to commit such a violent act, burn my Duke Palaces, and kill my Heavenly Dragon Guards, I will definitely report this matter to the king!" Luo Lie''s gaze was filled with killing intent.


    "I''m afraid that King Yongan was wrong. It wasn''t me who allowed my disciple to commit murder, but King Yongan who didn''t give my poor disciple a chance to live." Xiao Yunhai coldly laughed: "For Prince Yongan''s residence to have everything they have today, it is only because they brought it upon themselves."


    Xiao Yunhai naturally saw the firelight within Sky Dragon City. He was also somewhat puzzled. Was Lin Tian going to completely break off from Luo Lie?


    However, no matter what Lin Tian did, Xiao Yunhai would not interfere because he was Lin Tian''s master.


    "You!" Luo Lie was infuriated, but he had no solution.


    "Miss, do we still need to follow?" Just as Lin Tian and Xiao Chen disappeared from the eastern city, Granny Jin''s voice sounded again.


    Yun Huang and Granny Jin had actually followed Lin Tian all the way to Prince Yongan''s Mansion. Including the battle between Lin Tian and An Yuan, the two of them had clearly seen it.


    "Follow me." Yun Huang did not waste any words and directly went for Lin Tian and Xiao Chen.


    Yun Huang became increasingly curious about Lin Tian. How many more sides would he have to face Uncle Yu? When facing Xiao Chen, he showed his true feelings. When facing enemies, he showed no mercy. The more he understood, the more Yun Huang was curious about Lin Tian.


    Granny Jin sighed and did not say much as she followed behind Yun Huang.


    Sky Dragon City, West City, Li Clan.


    "Li Feng, I''ll give you three seconds. Come out and die!" A voice suddenly sounded and spread throughout the entire Li Clan.

 C51

    Li Feng and Zhao Yin were surprised for a moment, but then they immediately reacted.


    "This means that Prince Yongan''s mansion was set on fire. It''s true, but where''s the prince? Where did King Yongan go?" Li Feng could not help but roar in a low voice.


    The Lee family was Sky Dragon City''s number one family. All these years in Sky Dragon City, they had accumulated countless assets, but now, they were facing a brat who had only cultivated for three years and was even being humiliated by him.


    A little brat dared to come and provoke him. This caused Li Feng''s heart to be filled with rage.


    However, he was outside right now, so even if he didn''t want to face him, he had no choice.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Li Feng shouted at the group of guards outside the door, "Where are the Li Family guards!?"


    "Yes, yes, yes!" The squad of guards roared.


    These were the personal guards of the Li family, and they were all the genius disciples from the Li family branch. They were the Li family''s trump card guards.


    After hearing that the personal guards of the Yongan Mansion had been massacred by Lin Tian, Li Feng summoned the guards back in the middle of the night.


    At this time, just as these guards returned, that little bastard, Lin Tian, came over. It just so happened that Li Feng wanted to see what was so special about this little bastard.


    However, right at this moment, a strong gale suddenly came from outside the Li family''s gate. The gale even blew away the Li family''s gate.


    Li Feng and Zhao Yin were both stunned. How could there be such a strong gale for no reason at all?


    However, after the gate flew up, the Li family''s large courtyard began to emit rustling sounds.


    In just a short moment, the Li family''s large courtyard wall collapsed with a loud bang, turning into a pile of rubble.


    "Hiss." All of the men from the Lee family guards couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. This ¡­ this was too terrifying, actually destroying the Lee family''s mansion.


    At this time, Li Feng and Zhao Yin also knew that it was definitely not the wind that had destroyed the door and the high wall, but power.


    That brat was actually this terrifying? He actually possessed such power and methods?


    Both of them were extremely shocked.


    The Li Family''s door was made of darksteel, and it was forged from refined steel. It was extremely sturdy, and even a Qi Hai warrior would not be able to break it open with a single punch. As for the Li Family''s wall, it was made from the toughest stone on the Green Cliff Mountain.


    The high wall fell and dust flew in the air. At this moment, the figure of the person outside the door also gradually revealed itself.


    "There are two of them?" Li Feng and Zhao Yin''s hearts skipped a beat, but this made sense. So it was because that kid had hired a helper.


    Could it be that only Xiao Yunhai, who was in the Aurous Core stage, had this kind of power?


    The two hurriedly looked over, but were even more surprised. Currently, there were two people standing outside. One was Lin Tian, yes, but the other wasn''t Xiao Yunhai. It was an unfamiliar youth.


    And most importantly, there was not even the slightest fluctuation of Essence Qi from that strange youth. Could it be that this youth was not a Martial Cultivator?


    But just as he was thinking, Lin Tian had already opened his mouth: "Since I called you out and you guys aren''t willing, then I can only let him forcefully break open your door ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian stood outside the door and looked at the situation in the Li Family: "Looking at this scene, it seems like the two Patriarchs already knew that I would come? Originally, I wanted to give the two patriarchs a pleasant surprise, but now, it seems that there''s no need. Since the two patriarchs are gathered together, I presume that they have already thought of a plan to deal with me ¡­ "


    Lin Tian''s smile was full of malevolence, making people feel fear at first glance.


    "Lee family guards!" Li Feng shouted coldly.


    "Here."


    "Use their blood to wash away the shame of my Li Clan being broken through!" Li Feng''s voice was incomparably cold and fierce.


    However, after giving the order, Li Feng''s gaze immediately turned to Zhao Yin: "That Lin Tian is at the first level of the Qi Hai realm, I''ll go delay him. You will lead my Lee family''s guards to kill that brat, and after we kill that brat, you can come and help me, and we''ll kill that brat together."


    Zhao Yin nodded. He and Li Feng were both at the third level of the Qi Hai realm, so it shouldn''t be a problem for Li Feng to take on Lin Tian, who was at the first level of the Qi Hai realm.


    As for that kid who didn''t have the slightest fluctuation in his Essence Qi, he should be much easier to deal with.


    "Little bastard, you hurt my Hai''er, hand over your life." After Li Feng instructed Zhao Yin, he no longer hesitated and directly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Li Feng was a third level Qi Hai warrior. He was confident that he could beat Lin Tian since Lin Tian was only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were cold as he quietly watched Li Feng''s arrival.


    The elemental energy within his body surged and instantly condensed into his hand.


    The Great Creation Fist was divided into three forms. The first was to break through the heavens, the second was to cut the sun and moon, and the third was to destroy the galaxy.


    Currently, Lin Tian had already comprehended the first two moves.


    Now, he wanted to test the power of the second move of the ''Great Creation Fist''. This Li Feng in front of him was naturally an existence that could not be any better at practicing.


    At that time, Lin Tian had just comprehended the first move of the Great Fortune Fist. Relying on his Qi Disciple level 6 strength, he killed the Qi Disciple level 8 Old Devil Yin.


    Right now, his strength and Li Feng''s strength were only two levels apart, so he wanted to see if he could defeat this Li Feng by relying on the second move of the Great Destiny Fist.


    As for Li Feng, his only son back then, Li Tianhai, was crippled by Lin Tian. Thus, Li Feng naturally wouldn''t hold back when going against Lin Tian.


    "Hengyun Hand!" The moment Li Feng made his move, he used the Li family''s secret technique. A monstrous Essence was poured into Li Feng''s hand, and a huge palm was instantly sent towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian coldly smiled. In the next moment, he madly threw out a punch with his Great Destiny Fist.


    "Great Destiny Fist, Second Move, Slaughtering the Sun and the Moon!" The roiling Essence Qi instantly attacked and collided with Li Feng''s Hengyun Hand.


    The instant the two palms collided, there was a deafening explosion. The backlash from the two palms instantly swept over the crowd.


    Lin Tian was pushed back by the rebound, retreating a few steps before stabilizing his body.


    But Lin Tian did not feel upset in the slightest. Instead, he was abnormally excited, and his figure moved as he once again charged towards Li Feng.


    Lin Tian''s body had obtained the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence, and compared to the pagoda fruit''s tempering, the strength of his body was incomparably tyrannical, and was not something Li Feng could compare to. Lin Tian was knocked back several steps.


    But Lin Tian did not have any rest. Even if he rushed over once again, Li Feng was still a bit surprised.


    "How can this kid''s strength progress so fast?" He had heard Lin Tian''s name before, he was only Qi Disciple level 4. But now, in just a few short months, Lin Tian''s strength, how did he break through to the Qi Hai realm?


    He did not know of Lin Tian''s lucky chance, so he was naturally incomparably surprised.


    "Little bastard, I can''t spare you. If I do, my Li family will never have a peaceful day for you." Li Feng sinisterly roared and once again condensed an incomparably strong Essence Qi into his palm. He waved it and once again charged towards Lin Tian.


    "You''re right. With me here, your Li Clan will come to an end. From today onwards, the Li Clan will no longer exist in the entire Sky Dragon City." Lin Tian said this, but he didn''t hold back at all.


    The Great Destiny Fist once again smashed towards Li Feng.


    Not long after, the two of them had already exchanged dozens of punches. Lin Tian was naturally not Li Feng''s match, and every time, it was only Lin Tian whose body was forced back a few steps before he was able to stand firm.


    Li Feng and Lin Tian had exchanged so many punches, but the more Li Feng fought, the more astonished he was.


    It was because Lin Tian''s fists were more powerful than his fists. Just like how Lin Tian''s punches did not require Essence to casually use them, what was even more terrifying was the strength of Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian was able to endure countless strands of power, but there was nothing wrong.


    This caused Li Feng to be endlessly shocked. He made up his mind. This kid was already so powerful right now. If he allowed him to grow up, then there really would be no chance for the Li family.


    "That''s right, where is Zhao Yin? Didn''t I tell him to get rid of the other kid as soon as possible and come over to help me? Why hasn''t he come over yet?" Li Feng couldn''t help but turn his head to look at the battle between Zhao Yin and the other kid.


    At this moment, all the men from the Lee family guards were lying on the ground in a mess. What was even more terrifying was that some of their bodies were hanging on the trees in front of the Lee family mansion, while some were hanging on the stone lions at the entrance.


    However, all the men from the Lee family guards died without exception.


    To his horror, he discovered that all the guards had a huge bloody hole in their chest.


    "Could that kid be even more terrifying?" Li Feng''s heart was full of fear. He looked around, trying to find Zhao Yin''s figure.


    At this moment, only Xiao Chen remained standing in his original spot without moving. However, Zhao Yin had already disappeared.


    "What are you looking for, him?" Xiao Chen suddenly opened his mouth and revealed an extremely innocent smile.


    At this moment, Xiao Chen pointed to a spot not far away, where there was a pile of rocks made of high walls.


    "I just blew lightly, but I didn''t expect him to be unable to withstand it and fly directly to the high wall. The high wall couldn''t withstand my breath and fell down, coincidentally, that person was under the high wall, and then he was buried under the stone pillar. Don''t look at me, I don''t know if he is dead or not ¡­" Xiao Chen had a harmless smile on his face.


    But in Li Feng''s eyes, this kid was simply a devil.


    But just as Li Feng was distracted for a moment, Lin Tian''s roar came from behind: "Explode for me!"


    Li Feng immediately felt extremely strange energies suddenly appear on his body. The energies rapidly collided with each other and monstrous energies instantly exploded from Li Feng''s body.


    It was the hidden strength of the Great Development Fist! Just now, Lin Tian and Li Feng had exchanged dozens of blows, and the hidden strength of the Great Development Fist had more than a hundred strikes, at this moment, countless of fist energies had instantly exploded, and Li Feng did not even have time to react before he was struck by the fist strength of the Great Creation Fist.

 C52

    Once Li Feng and Zhao Yin died, the Li family would naturally scatter like monkeys. However, Lin Tian still showed no mercy and beheaded all the members of the Li and Zhao families without leaving a single one alive.


    If they were doing those heinous things, they should be able to imagine that they would end up in the same situation.


    In the end, Lin Tian treated the Eternal An Prince''s Mansion the same way as he did the Li family and the Zhao family.


    From today onwards, the Li family, Zhao family, and the Yongan Mansion would have completely vanished from Sky Dragon City. There would no longer be any of these three powers in the entire Sky Dragon City.


    The commoners in the commoner district would no longer have to worry about being bullied by these three families.


    Lin Tian looked at the burning fires in the east and west cities of Sky Dragon City and sighed with emotion. Seemingly feeling Xiao Chen''s gaze, Lin Tian asked, "Did you think that my methods were a little cruel?"


    Xiao Chen was slightly startled. He did not expect Lin Tian to be able to sense his thoughts. He indeed felt that Lin Tian''s methods were too cruel.


    You live on the mountain, with your master protecting you, what you are facing, is a paradise, and naturally you have never seen the evilness of the human heart, nor do you understand why I did this. If you had personally seen the evil deeds of these three families, and also experienced the feeling of women being robbed, their dantian being crippled, and their meridians being destroyed, then you might be able to understand what I did ¡­


    At this point, Lin Tian did not continue speaking. It was completely normal that Xiao Chen could not understand. If he could, it would be abnormal.


    Sky Dragon Continent had always been a place where the strong preyed on the weak.


    Lin Tian did not think anymore. After getting rid of these people, there would only be one Luo Lie left.


    Lin Tian also did not know where Xiao Yunhai had led Luo Lie to, but with the Horned Demon, he was not worried at all, because after the Horned Dragon had swallowed that Floating Tu fruit, its strength had recovered quite a bit. Its divine soul perception was several times stronger than Lin Tian''s, and it could even cover an area of several dozen miles.


    Lin Tian got the Horned Demon to help him determine the location of Xiao Yunhai and Luo Lie. After Xiao Chen pointed out the direction, Lin Tian and Xiao Chen rushed over.


    Not long after, the two of them arrived at Xiao Yunhai and Luo Lie''s location. This was a shrubbery located on the outskirts of the city, and Xiao Yunhai and Luo Lie were currently engaged in an intense battle.


    Otherwise, Luo Lie wouldn''t be a match for Xiao Yunhai at all. After all, the difference between the Aurous Core stage and the Xinghe stage was like heaven and earth, but now, Luo Lie was actually able to tie with Xiao Yunhai. Naturally, Xiao Yunhai was deliberately letting him off the hook.


    "Master is still worried about Luo Lie''s identity." He naturally understood Xiao Yunhai''s thoughts. Luo Lie''s surname was Luo after all, and he was bestowed the title of King Yongan by the Tian Luo Kingdom, he was a relative of the Imperial Family. If Xiao Yunhai really did kill Luo Lie, he would definitely be investigated by the Imperial Family, and it would even bring disaster to the Sky Dragon Academy.


    But now, even if Luo Lie did not die, Lin Tian had burned his Yongan Mansion. Sooner or later, Tian Luo Kingdom''s royal family would come after this matter.


    In order to restore the Lin Clan, he would have to find an explanation with the Tian Luo Royal Family sooner or later. In fact, he might even have to find the Tian Luo Royal Family to seek revenge.


    As long as he had enough time, Lin Tian would sooner or later become a powerful expert. Now that he had killed Luo Lie, he could just wait until the Tian Luo Royal Family came to kill him, then he would be able to roam the world, Tian Long Continent was so vast, where could he not go? Once his own strength had reached a certain point, he would just come back to kill!


    Lin Tian had already thought of a way out and had already made his decision. Luo Lie was going to die!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately made his move without any hesitation.


    "Great Destiny Fist, Second Move, Slaughtering the Sun and the Moon!" Lin Tian roared as he attacked. Overflowing power instantly gushed out as a fist shot towards Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie had been fighting with Xiao Yunhai the entire time. He also knew that Xiao Yunhai had held back against him, but it just so happened that he had no way of getting rid of Xiao Yunhai.


    However, the more Luo Lie fought, the more agitated he became. He completely did not feel Lin Tian''s arrival.


    At this moment, when Lin Tian wildly shouted, Luo Lie and Xiao Yunhai finally saw Lin Tian''s voice.


    "Tian, be careful!" The moment Xiao Yunhai saw Lin Tian, he couldn''t help but yell out.


    Lin Tian was only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm while Luo Lie was a ninth level Gold Core warrior. Lin Tian''s sudden attack would definitely have a miraculous effect, but he couldn''t injure Luo Lie with his palm, so when Luo Lie reacted, he was in danger.


    When he saw that it was actually Lin Tian, he was slightly surprised in his heart, but soon after, his face turned malevolent: "Little bastard, you made me look for trouble, but I didn''t think that there would be a way for you to stay in Heaven. Hell has no doors, but since you''ve come, you''ve killed my Luo Chen.


    After saying that, Luo Lie no longer paid attention to Xiao Yunhai. The boundless Yuan Power in his hands rapidly gathered together, and wildly blasted towards Lu Fan.


    The might of a single palm strike was practically capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.


    However, at this moment, Lin Tian''s figure moved slightly to the side. He then shouted at Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, if you do not make a move, I will be killed with a single palm from him!"


    Behind Lin Tian, Xiao Chen did not hesitate at all. He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of air.


    A stream of white Qi shot out from Xiao Chen''s mouth.


    The power of the white arrow was astonishing as it instantly shot towards Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie''s gaze turned slightly cold. He had also felt the power of this Qi arrow.


    "I can''t save you even if I find a helper. Today, you must die!" Luo Lie''s palm struck the white Qi Arrow and then gathered together to once again strike at Lin Tian.


    However, at this time, Xiao Yunhai''s figure had already rushed over. He blasted out a palm, blocking in front of Lin Tian.


    The instant the two palms collided, Luo Lie''s figure immediately retreated a few steps back. Only then did he stand firm on his feet.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian held onto Xiao Yunhai.


    "Master, squat down!" Xiao Yunhai didn''t understand, but still did as he was told.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Just at this moment, Xiao Yunhai and Lin Tian both heard a wave of sonic booms.


    At the same time, the white colored arrows shot toward Luo Lie in an instant.


    Luo Lie was shocked. How was this possible? Just now, he had struck the white Qi arrow with his palm, but to no avail. At this moment, the white Qi arrows were still shooting towards him.


    When Lin Tian saw Luo Lie''s expression, he could not help but sneer in his heart. Luo Lie was underestimating Xiao Chen.


    Even Lin Tian did not know what cultivation technique Xiao Chen was cultivating. Xiao Chen''s own master had taught him to boast.


    The reason why he was able to go down the mountain was because he had blown to death tens of thousands of oxen.


    And that cow, it was said that his master had caught it from somewhere, a demon devouring cow that was comparable to a human Qi Hai warrior.


    That level of bulls was extremely huge. Xiao Chen''s cultivation was very simple. He just had to break open the neck of the bulls and blow on it until it exploded.


    Just like this, Xiao Chen bragged from a very young age for over ten years.


    However, Lin Tian did not think too much about it. He did not know why Xiao Chen''s master wanted to train Xiao Chen to do this.


    However, when he was at the Green Cliff Mountain, he had seen with his own eyes that Xiao Chen was able to topple a mountain in one breath.


    How could Luo Lie possibly withstand such an arrow of air?


    Luo Lie''s punch could not destroy a mountain.


    The Qi arrows instantly shot towards Luo Lie. Luo Lie threw out another punch, but that punch was completely useless against the Qi arrows. The Qi arrows directly shot into Luo Lie''s body. Immediately, Luo Lie was injured by the Qi arrows.


    Ah!" Luo Lie screamed miserably. A few bloody holes immediately appeared on his chest and abdomen.


    Xiao Yunhai immediately looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief. He did not expect that Xiao Chen''s breath of air would have such a terrifying killing power.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian naturally could not give up such a good opportunity.


    Lin Tian''s figure was incomparably fast as he once again sent a Great Destiny Fist towards Luo Lie.


    "Little bastard, today, I must kill you!" Luo Lie''s heart surged with a monstrous rage.


    "It just so happens that this is what I wanted to tell you." The divine soul in Lin TianAo''s Heavenly God Palace was not idle either. An incomparably massive Mental Energy quickly gushed out and wildly blasted towards Luo Lie.


    "Symbol Master!" Luo Lie was even more shocked in his heart. He could feel Lin Tian spitting out his mental strength.


    However, he was only surprised and did not take it to heart. His strength was strong and his sea of consciousness was naturally not bad. He believed that his sea of consciousness would not be affected by Lin Tian''s Spirit power.


    However, his heart was filled with unease. This brat must not be allowed to live. After not seeing this little bastard for such a short period of time, not only had he broken through to the Qi Hai realm, but he had also become a Symbol Master for no reason!


    If they allowed him to grow up like this, he would be done for.


    But Lin Tian actually opened his mouth: "Your Highness, perhaps you don''t know yet. Your Duke''s Mansion has already been burnt down by a great fire. Moreover, I killed all of the Heavenly Dragon Guards that acted as your dogs ¡­ ¡­"


    "My Duke Palace, my Heavenly Dragon Guards, little bastard, Lin Tian, you must die! No one can save you!" Luo Lie was so angry that his lips were trembling. He never would have thought that while Xiao Yunhai was pestering him, Lin Tian would actually dare to burn down his Duke Mansion and even destroy his Heavenly Dragon Guards.


    "Not only that, even the Li family and Zhao family have ceased to exist." Lin Tian continued to speak. His mental strength was also continuously being released as it condensed in front of his body.


    Behind him, Xiao Yunhai blankly listened to Lin Tian''s words. Seeing Lin Tian''s actions, he knew that Lin Tian wanted to anger Luo Lie. However, he didn''t know what Lin Tian''s goal was.

 C53

    "Little bastard, you ¡­ you must die." Luo Lie''s entire body trembled violently. He did not expect that this little bastard would be so merciless. He had completely destroyed all of his trump cards.


    Without the Celestial Dragon Guards and the Residence of Emperor Yongan, what was the point of him, the King Yongan, existing here?


    The Li and Zhao Families were also destroyed. This shocked Luo Lie even more. Li Feng and Zhao Yin were both at the third level of the Qi Hai realm. This kid was only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Lin Tian looked at Luo Lie''s expression and sneered in his heart: "What, Your Highness doesn''t believe me, you can turn around and take a look, then I''ll burn the east and west of Sky Dragon City. From today onwards, Sky Dragon City will no longer have the Yongan Mansion, and there will no longer be two great families.


    Luo Lie''s lips almost bled from biting down on them. He was a dignified King Yongan, a master at the peak of the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage. But now, he had been bullied by this kid.


    He didn''t care about the wounds he had received from the Qi arrows. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was to rip the body of the brat in front of him into a thousand pieces!


    Overflowing spirit energy instantly gathered from his hand. The power of a single fist was directed straight at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not retreat or evade. He could tell that Luo Lie was already at the end of his strength. His previous battle with Xiao Yunhai had already caused him to lose a large amount of elemental energy. Furthermore, Xiao Chen''s Qi arrow earlier had injured him.


    Right now, Luo Lie was not necessarily Lin Tian''s opponent.


    Thus, just as Xiao Yunhai was about to make his move, Lin Tian decisively stopped him. Right now, he believed that he could deal with Luo Lie. Furthermore, this was a good opportunity to train himself.


    Not everyone would be able to exchange blows with a ninth level Jindan Stage expert. Of course, the most important reason was still because Uncle Yu had died at Luo Lie''s hands. He wanted to avenge Uncle Yu with his own hands.


    The strength of Luo Lie''s fist was countless times weaker than before, so Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly flew over, using his own body to block Luo Lie''s fist.


    Luo Lie''s eyes stared blankly for a moment, but he immediately went wild with joy. This Lin Tian really did not know how high the sky was or how deep the earth was. He actually wanted his own body to forcefully block this attack.


    However, this was exactly what Luo Lie wanted. Even an Aurous Core stage expert would be seriously injured, or even die, if they were to take his punch head on.


    Lin Tian was an existence at the first level of the Qi Hai realm. This punch was enough to take his life.


    "Little bastard, this isn''t the way to send yourself to your death!" Luo Lie said to Lin Tian with a sinister smile.


    Behind him, Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Chen also looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. Was Lin Tian insane?


    He was actually going to use his own body to take Luo Lie''s punch?


    But at this moment, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth revealed a meaningful smile: "Are you sure this punch of yours can kill me?"


    Luo Lie stared blankly, but his fist had already landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    The power of that fist landed on Lin Tian''s body, immediately producing a sound like metal colliding with metal.


    Lin Tian''s figure was immediately pushed back by Luo Lie''s punch. However, just as Lin Tian''s figure flew back, Lin Tian''s fist also instantly landed on Luo Lie''s body.


    It was Lin Tian who had gathered all his strength just now and punched out with the Great Destiny Fist.


    However, when that fist landed on Luo Lie''s body, Luo Lie did not have much of a reaction. When a martial artist reached the Aurous Core stage, the Essence within their body would transform into Yuan Power, but compared to Yuan Power, it would be much stronger. At this moment, the physical body of a Golden Core Stage martial artist, as well as the strength of their Sea of Consciousness, would be greatly enhanced.


    So when Lin Tian''s fist landed on Luo Lie''s body, Luo Lie did not have the slightest reaction.


    But Lin Tian was not discouraged in the slightest. He once again flew up and used another Great Fortune Fist.


    "Little bastard, you are really reckless." Luo Lie was both shocked and angry at the same time. He was shocked that Lin Tian was able to take his punch without the slightest injury. He was angry that Lin Tian still dared to charge forward.


    "Unparalleled Tyrant Fist!" Luo Lie roared angrily. His figure quickly flashed and also rushed towards Lin Tian.


    This Unparalleled Tyrant Fist was a martial art from the Luo Clan, a martial art that originated from the royal clan of the Tian Luo Country. It had unparalleled might and power.


    "An existence at the Qi Hai realm is actually able to force me to use my royal martial arts ¡­ Even if you die, you should be able to be proud of yourself!" Luo Lie''s face was sinister as a huge source of soul force wrapped around Lin Tian''s killing intent.


    Lin Tian''s expression did not change. He continued to use his own body to directly block Luo Lie''s fist.


    "Bang bang!" A monstrous explosion rang out and Lin Tian''s figure was once again sent flying by Luo Lie''s fist. However, Lin Tian''s fist also once again landed on Luo Lie''s body.


    That punch just now was still extremely terrifying. Although the toughness of Lin Tian''s body far surpassed martial artists of the same realm, Luo Lie was after all an Aurous Core stage expert, a full realm higher than Lin Tian.


    Thus, that fist just now had slightly injured Lin Tian, but it was also at this time that Lin Tian''s whirlpool of dantian once again displayed its might. The ancestral dragon blood essence within his whirlpool of dantian immediately began to frantically revolve, a tiny bit of blood energy once again pulled out from the ancestral dragon blood essence, and quickly rushed towards Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s body immediately began to boil.


    That strand of Blood Qi quickly transformed into an abnormally pure Yuan Qi and finally landed into Lin Tian''s body with a rumble.


    Lin Tian felt his entire body boiling hot, the injuries from just now had completely disappeared. He felt that his body was filled with an inexhaustible energy.


    He roared and once again charged at Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie never thought that this kid would be like an existence that couldn''t be defeated. He''d received several punches from him, but there was nothing wrong with it?


    How tyrannical should his body be? This brat was completely a monster!


    However, Luo Lie did not hold back and once again punched at Lin Tian with all his strength.


    The power of his fist filled the air as it instantly swept towards Lin Tian.


    "Bang bang!" Another solid punch landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    But this time, not only did Lin Tian not retreat, but instead he rushed towards Luo Lie. Luo Lie''s punch was now completely useless against Lin Tian!


    "How is this possible?" Luo Lie''s face was filled with disbelief as he looked at Lin Tian. He couldn''t understand why this little bastard had been able to withstand so many of his punches, but was still unharmed.


    "Nothing is impossible!" Lin Tian once again used the Great Destiny Fist and directly punched at Luo Lie.


    "Bang bang!" A strong wave of Essence Qi flowed out from Lin Tian''s hand as he punched towards Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie''s expression was solemn. He could feel that Lin Tian''s fist was much stronger than the previous ones.


    This brat could actually raise his own strength in battle?


    Luo Lie became increasingly apprehensive. However, he was also determined that even if he had to risk his life, he would definitely kill this little bastard. Otherwise, if he were to keep the little bastard alive, he would become a disaster sooner or later.


    Lin Tian''s punch had actually caused Luo Lie to be shaken. Luo Lie retreated a few steps before finally being able to stand firm on his feet.


    But in the next moment, Lin Tian did not give Luo Lie the chance to breathe. He punched again.


    Luo Lie also threw out a fist and punched Lin Tian.


    "Bam!" The power suddenly spread out in all directions. The monstrous power surged and exploded in the surroundings. The surrounding bushes and shrubbery were directly flattened by that power.


    Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Chen also looked at Lin Tian with faces full of disbelief, especially Xiao Yunhai. Xiao Yunhai did not dare to believe that this Lin Tian in front of him was still his disciple.


    An existence at the first level of the Qi Hai realm was actually able to fight against a ninth level Gold Core expert?


    After a while, between Lin Tian and Luo Lie, they had already exchanged dozens of punches.


    The two frantically clashed. Right now, the two were both injured, and their injuries were even worse than Luo Lie and Lin Tian''s.


    However, the whirlpool of his dantian continued to support Lin Tian and did not let him fall.


    Luo Lie, on the other hand, was constantly bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He never thought that he would be forced to such an extent by an existence at the first level of the Qi Sea.


    But just as Luo Lie was about to charge forward, Lin Tian suddenly shouted: "Explode for me!"


    Unknowingly, there were already countless hidden forces around his body. Right now, those hidden forces were frantically surging, and with Lin Tian''s angry roar, those hidden forces suddenly exploded.


    Ah!" Luo Lie screamed out miserably. His entire body was already seriously injured from the dark energy''s explosion.


    "How could this be?" Luo Lie cried out in fear, his heart filled with fear.


    Moreover, Lin Tian had already completely comprehended the second style long ago. Just now, every single one of Lin Tian''s fists contained nine punches. Just now, Luo Lie had endured who knows how many punches.


    Luo Lie''s figure was immediately blasted away by the hidden force and flew backwards. At this moment, he was lying on the ground and his entire body was covered in terrifying wounds. However, his gaze was fixed on Lin Tian: "Little bastard, I want you dead."


    "I will definitely kill you!" After Luo Lie finished this sentence, a monstrous force instantly gathered onto his body.


    His lower abdomen began to swell up. Not only that, the wounds all over his body started to heal in a bizarre manner.


    When Xiao Yunhai saw the scene in front of him, he immediately reacted: "Not good, he''s going to self-destruct!"


    "Little bastard, to be able to force me to such a state, you should have no regrets even in death, right?" Luo Lie laughed sinisterly.


    "Tian, run!" When Xiao Yunhai saw Lin Tian standing there without moving, he anxiously yelled out.


    "Luo Lie, do you want to know how your son died?" Lin Tian didn''t move as if he hadn''t heard Xiao Yunhai''s cry of surprise. He calmly looked at the current Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie was stunned. His gathering of power had also slowed down by quite a bit.

 C54

    "I destroyed his meridians, crippled his Dantian, and he was even killed by my fist energy." Lin Tian suddenly shouted at Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie immediately trembled, but at this time, in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, his soul suddenly erupted with an extremely majestic spiritual force that directly swept towards Luo Lie.


    Luo Lie only felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness and immediately understood Lin Tian''s goal. Lin Tian had purposefully said that just now to distract him.


    It was also because of this that Lin Tian''s Mental Energy suddenly moved at this time. This little bastard had already planned this a long time ago!


    From the very beginning, Lin Tian had constantly used his own words to attack Luo Lie. From the very start, Luo Lie had already been angered by Lin Tian, forcing Luo Lie to fight him head on. Lin Tian''s body was incomparably strong, so naturally he would not be afraid of Luo Lie''s attack.


    Because of this, Luo Lie had no choice but to self-detonate, wanting to perish together with Lin Tian. However, when Lin Tian once again spoke of how Luo Chen had been killed by him, Luo Lie''s state of mind was disturbed.


    Just at this time, Lin Tian once again displayed his mental attack.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that as a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, it was impossible for Luo Lie''s sea of consciousness to be injured by him so easily, so he had to wait for the right time. Naturally, the right time was now, and Luo Lie was first injured by Xiao Chen''s Qi Arrow, and now he was also injured by Lin Tian''s fist force.


    As a result, Lin Tian''s powerful mental force was instantly used, and afterwards he directly obtained victory in a single strike.


    It had thoroughly injured Luo Lie''s sea of consciousness.


    At this moment, Luo Lie''s sea of consciousness was trembling. He was unable to react at all.


    But with such a good opportunity, Lin Tian naturally would not give up.


    The Dragon Scale Spear struck out with a sound like a dragon. A monstrous Essence wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear, causing a soft dragon roar to ring out from his Dragon Scale Spear.


    With an imposing aura like a dragon, the Dragon Scale Spear shot out and pierced through Luo Lie.


    Ah!" Luo Lie''s miserable cry suddenly sounded out, he stared wide-eyed, blankly looking at Lin Tian: "Little ¡­. Beast ¡­ You ¡­ You actually dare to ¡­ "Kill me!


    With a loud bang, Luo Lie''s body completely exploded. Just now, half of his strength had been gathered into the Dragon Scale Spear and pierced through his body. Naturally, he had also detonated that force.


    ''Bang! Bang! ''a loud sound was heard. Luo Lie''s body immediately turned into a rain of blood.


    Lin Tian silently allowed the blood rain to fall onto his face. After a long time, he wiped the blood off his face and tearfully said: "Uncle Yu, I, I''ve avenged you!"


    Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Chen were already completely shocked at this moment. They looked at Lin Tian blankly with faces full of disbelief, especially Xiao Yunhai, and he even let out a long sigh: "Silly child, no matter how much Luo Lie fails, he is still a member of the royal clan of the Tian Luo Kingdom. If you kill him, you will probably face the endless pursuit of the Tian Luo Kingdom."


    At the same time, in Tian Luo Empire''s capital city, Tian Luo City.


    Imperial family, ancestral hall.


    In the main hall, there were countless spirit tablets. These spirit tablets were not spirit tablets but Life Spirit tablets. Tian Luo Royal Family used the method of split the spirit tablets.


    From the very first king, the king of Tian Luo would seal his own clan, ancestors, descendants or other royal relatives into various cities in the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Tian Luo Kingdom was enormous, there were many states and counties.


    In every prefecture and county, there were countless cities.


    Every prince surnamed Luo, as long as he was officially conferred the title of Royal Family, he would definitely have this Life Spirit Plate. As long as this plate was broken, it would prove that this prince was killed by someone.


    Tian Luo Kingdom''s royal family would naturally not allow this to happen, so they sent people to look after the place from time to time.


    At this moment, the attendant yawned sleepily. His mission was to keep an eye on these Destiny Soul Marks in case of any special circumstances.


    All these years, he had listened to his grandfather and father, who had guarded this place for a lifetime. These spirit tablets had not been broken, but they had been replaced instead, because some princes were too incompetent, and the royal family would also replace them.


    But in all these years, he had never heard of a broken spirit tablet.


    The so-called broken spirit tablet meant that the prince had died.


    This death did not refer to his old age and death, because the previous prince knew that he was approaching his end and would voluntarily pass it on to his son, then report it to the Imperial Family to change the spirit tablet.


    When this spirit tablet was broken, it meant that the prince had somehow died. In such a situation, he had to immediately report it to the head of the sect.


    The royal family will send people to investigate this matter.


    The boy was bored to death and he couldn''t help but think in his heart: "Let me see, this is really boring. Facing this pile of spirit tablets all day, the spirit tablet won''t break. After all, the entire Tian Luo Country belongs to the Luo Family, and whoever dares to cause trouble for these princes, I don''t believe they''re not afraid of death!"


    However, before the attendant finished talking to himself, an extremely ear-piercing cracking sound suddenly rang out from the northwest corner of the spirit tablet.


    The servant shuddered and rushed towards the northwest corner.


    He dumbfoundedly watched as a spirit tablet at the northwest corner began to split open from the center. Soon after, it completely collapsed into several pieces.


    The manservant swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and cursed, "F * ck, there''s really someone who isn''t afraid of death!"


    However, when he thought of this, his expression immediately changed. "Bad, bad, something big has happened. We have to report this to the hall master!"


    The little servant ran towards the ancestral hall with all his might, and then screamed: "Bad news, bad news, the prince has been killed!"


    The Head Saint was taken aback. He then quickly rushed out and picked up the servant, "Is what you said true?"


    The manservant nodded his head.


    The Head Saint''s surname was also Luo, and he was also from the royal family, he naturally knew the meaning behind the prince''s death. He put down the servant and rushed into the temple.


    He carefully examined the spirit tablet. Finally, he saw the already shattered pieces of the spirit tablet in the northwest corner.


    "Sky Dragon City''s Luo Lie?" The hall master immediately grabbed the broken spirit tablet and rushed out.


    Lin Tian, Xiao Chen and Xiao Yunhai had already returned to the Sky Dragon Academy. At this moment, it was already broad daylight. Lin Tian had dug a grave in a treasured feng shui area of the Green Cliff Mountain and buried Uncle Yu there.


    At this time, Lin Tian was kneeling in front of Uncle Yu''s grave, his thoughts returning to the past ten years he had spent together with Uncle Yu.


    Uncle Yu had raised him. Although Uncle Yu was strict with his position as master and servant, in Lin Tian''s heart, he had long since treated Uncle Yu as his grandfather.


    "Uncle Yu, don''t worry. I will definitely restore the glory of my Lin Clan and make Tian Luo Royal Family pay the price." The Lin Clan did not let down the Imperial Family, they were the ones who let down the Imperial Family first.


    "Also, I will find my parents." Lin Tian softly said to Uncle Yu''s grave.


    "Thank you, Uncle Yu." Lin Tian gave Uncle Yu three respectful kowtows before turning around to leave.


    However, just as he was about to walk out of the Green Cliff Mountain, he suddenly turned his head and said to the empty Green Cliff Mountain behind him, "Miss Yun Feng, Granny Jin, ever since we parted, you have been following me. I wonder what the two of you are planning?"


    As these words were spoken, two people actually walked out from not too far away.


    It was Yun Huang and Granny Jin. The two of them had indeed been following Lin Tian since he went to save Uncle Yu, all the way until now.


    But the two of them were also extremely shocked. Granny Jin was a Star River Realm expert, hiding her own aura, and even Xiao Yunhai was unable to discover it, and the Cloud Phoenix bloodline was also a prized daughter of heaven. Ever since she dual cultivated with Lin Tian, her bloodline''s power had been thoroughly activated, and her supreme divine ability had been unlocked.


    How did this Lin Tian discover them?


    Both of them were in disbelief. Granny Jin even laughed and said, "As expected of a Symbol Master, his perception is actually this strong!"


    Granny Jin guessed that Lin Tian was only able to discover their existence because of being a Symbol Master.


    But the reality was different. Although Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, he was only an Inferior Grade Symbol Master. His mental perception was not that terrifying. All of this was because of the Horned Demon.


    Horned Demon''s perception was incomparably powerful, and he had long since sensed that the two were following Lin Tian. Thus, he had long since told Lin Tian that Lin Tian was currently immersed in Uncle Yu''s death and revenge, so he didn''t care about the two of them. But until now, the two of them were still following him.


    However, Lin Tian did not deny Grandma Jin''s guess that they were only detected because he was a Symbol Master. Instead, he looked at Yun Huang and Granny Jin and asked: "The two of you know my background and also know my actions, so you should probably report it to the Tian Luo Royal Family right?"


    Lin Tian''s eyebrows slightly rose, then he smiled and said: "Besides this, I don''t have any other reason to convince myself. Just why are you two following me!"


    Lin Tian''s heart was filled with suspicion. He did not know the identities of these two people at all. Although Lin Tian was not afraid of the Tian Luo Royal Family coming to take revenge, these two people knowing his secret still made Lin Tian feel uneasy.


    "Lin Tian, you bastard!" Yun Huang''s beautiful face immediately turned red, as if she had received an insult: "You''re slandering me!"


    "Oh?" Lin Tian did not think that Yun Huang''s reaction would be so huge. He was slightly stunned for a bit, then asked: "What is the purpose of those two following me?"


    "It''s because..." Saying that, Yun Huang suddenly stopped because what she wanted to say was, she wanted to understand this Lin Tian.


    However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized that something was wrong. If she said that, it meant that she was interested in this pervert.


    "Because of what?" Lin Tian coldly laughed as he looked at Yun Huang, but soon after, Lin Tian seemed to have thought of something.


    "Could it be that Yun Huang was following me because of what happened in the cave that day, and took the opportunity to kill me?" Lin Tian immediately thought of another possibility.


    But thinking of this, Lin Tian was a bit helpless. That day in the cave, he wanted more than anyone else to let what happened happen, but it happened, and the result was ¡­


    When Lin Tian thought of this, he immediately felt somewhat conflicted.

 C55

    Back then, after that incident, Lin Tian Chong had left this line to Yun Huang: "My life is yours. If you want it, come and take it at any time."


    Was this Yun Huang really here to take his life?


    If Yun Huang really came to take his life, then he really had nothing to say.


    After all, what happened at that time was already unclear, and Lin Tian was indeed somewhat guilty towards Yun Huang. This time, Yun Huang had followed him, causing Lin Tian to be a little scared, afraid that Yun Huang would really come to take his life.


    He did not want to die yet. After all, he had only just found out about his ancestry. He still had to find his parents and face the upcoming chase.


    In short, Lin Tian did not want to die yet.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately stopped hesitating and walked in front of Yun Huang, pulling her back.


    Since Granny Jin was still here, there were many things that were hard to explain. They could only drag the Cloud Phoenix to the side and talk about this matter.


    When Granny Jin saw Lin Tian''s actions, she immediately wanted to reprimand him, but seeing that her young miss was unmoved, she didn''t say anything more.


    Yun Huang was dragged by Lin Tian to a place not far away.


    "You ¡­" Lin Tian was a bit troubled as he asked: "Are you here to kill me?"


    Yun Huang was startled, he never thought that he would follow Lin Tian, causing Lin Tian to think that Yun Huang had come to kill him.


    Originally, Yun Huang was prepared to admit it, but seeing Lin Tian''s current expression, she suddenly changed her mind. She nodded her head and said to Lin Tian: "That''s right, that''s the goal."


    "As expected." Lin Tian secretly complained in his heart. He was conflicted for a long time before looking at Yun Huang and softly asking: "Can we still discuss this matter?"


    When Yun Huang saw Lin Tian''s troubled expression, her heart was already filled with joy.


    This dirty thief still had time to make things difficult for him?


    Yun Huang immediately said with a straight face: "You promised me that you would do it yourself, but now you don''t want to admit your wrongs?"


    Lin Tian immediately went blank, then stammered as if he couldn''t say anything, but after hesitating for a bit, he still said: "I don''t mean to not admit it, since I said it already, this life is yours, then it''ll be yours. It''s just that I still have a lot of things that I have to do right now.


    Lin Tian didn''t know much about matters between a man and a woman. Back then, he and Jiang Ru Xue had never even signed a contract. Lin Tian had foolishly thought that it was love, so right now, he was still doing this to Yun Huang.


    If he understood the thoughts of this girl a little, he would be able to see the hidden smile on Yun Huang''s face.


    But of course, Lin Tian did not know a thing about it, and naturally could not understand Yun Huang''s intentions, and truly believed that the reason Yun Feng came here was to take his life.


    However, when Yun Huang heard Lin Tian''s words, she was slightly startled. She stared at Lin Tian with her bright eyes and asked: "Was what you said true?"


    Lin Tian was stunned and asked: "What do you mean true?"


    "You said earlier that your life, is mine?" Yun Huang said in a low voice.


    "Of course." Lin Tian answered resolutely.


    "Puchi." Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian''s serious face and suddenly couldn''t help but laugh.


    Lin Tian was startled as he raised his head to look. Right now, Yun Huang''s eyes were shining brightly as she looked around with an indescribably beautiful appearance.


    Lin Tian was stunned in place for a long time.


    Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian blankly staring at him, his heart suddenly jumped, and he angrily said: "Idiot, what are you looking at?"


    "Looks good ¡­" Lin Tian immediately felt that his words had a bit of a problem, so he immediately closed his mouth and didn''t say anymore.


    When Yun Huang saw Lin Tian''s embarrassed appearance, she did not know why, but her heart surged with wild joy, especially when Lin Tian said she looked good.


    Lin Tian lowered his head, his face completely red, and did not dare to look at Yun Huang again.


    Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian, then suddenly said softly: "I can also not kill you, but you must remember, your life is mine. If I need it at any time, you must come and find me!"


    Lin Tian abruptly raised his head with some disbelief: "Is what you said true?"


    "Yes." Yun Huang nodded lightly.


    Lin Tian Deng became excited, he did not notice the hidden meaning behind Yun Huang''s words, he only felt that Yun Huang was very excited that Yun Huang was not going to kill him right now.


    "Idiots!" Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian''s excited expression and could not help but say.


    Over the past few days, she and Granny Jin had always been following Lin Tian, so her understanding of him had become deeper and deeper.


    He treated Xiao Chen with kindness and loyalty, and he treated Uncle Yu even more so. Towards his enemies, he did not care what methods he used.


    However, in a martial way where the strong were revered, it would be cruel to oneself if one was not cruel to the enemy.


    Yun Huang did not feel anything about Lin Tian. Instead, his words from today allowed Yun Huang to see the other side of Lin Tian. This side seemed to be only displayed by Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian was immersed in happiness and did not seem to notice anything abnormal. For a moment, the two of them both became silent.


    Lin Tian recovered from his joy and blankly looked at Yun Huang''s hopeful face. He hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard from others that after dual cultivation, they are called dao companions. They are martial partners ¡­"


    Yun Huang suddenly raised his head, and looked at Lin Tian with a smile that was not a smile: "What do you want to say?"


    Lin Tian saw that Yun Huang unexpectedly did not have any intentions of getting angry, and immediately became bold. He firmly said: "If, I''m saying if, if you don''t have a dao companion, can you consider me?"


    Ever since that affair, Lin Tian knew that this was the first time it had happened to Yun Huang.


    So Lin Tian guessed that Yun Huang definitely did not have a dao companion, so Lin Tian Meng immediately had another idea. Since Yun Huang had already become his woman, why did he have to fight to the death for him?


    However, this was only one of Lin Tian''s thoughts. From Jiang Ru Xue, Lin Tian had already suffered an injury once. Right now, Lin Tian held an extremely complex feeling towards women.


    Thus, Lin Tian originally did not plan to say this, but after seeing Yun Huang, Lin Tian unconsciously felt his heart move. He did not know what Yun Huang was thinking, but if he did not do it, he would never know what Yun Huang was thinking.


    So Lin Tian first revealed his thoughts.


    When Lin Tian said these words, he was still a bit perturbed, but at worst Yun Huang would refuse, then Lin Tian wouldn''t need to think about it anymore. Once he completed his mission, he would go find Yun Huang and commit suicide.


    After Yun Huang heard Lin Tian''s words, his heart was suddenly filled with ecstasy, but was immediately suppressed by her.


    "What''s wrong with me? Why am I so excited by his words?" Yun Huang could not help but think.


    She did not know that her feelings for Lin Tian had long been deeply rooted. Everything began from her curiosity towards Lin Tian.


    "Why?" Lin Tian looked at Yun Huang without replying for a long time. His eyes were a bit sad and he said gruffly: "What, you don''t want to?"


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then became determined once again: "Even if you do not agree, I have already determined that you are now my woman, if there was another man who dared to look for you, I would have killed him, I know that right now my strength is still very weak, and I am not worthy of you, but I believe that there will be a day when I will become a strong person, I will protect you, I will cherish you, and I will treat you with sincerity. If you do not want to, I will not force you, but you are my woman, and this reality cannot be changed!"


    She had grown up by herself, and only Granny Jin accompanied her. She was born to be the holy maiden of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and was simply untouchable to anyone. He had never seen her parents since he was young, and no one had ever said those words to her either.


    No one had ever said anything about protecting or cherishing her. She felt that she would live her entire life on a mission.


    "You, what happened to you?" Lin Tian looked at Yun Huang who was silently looking at him, her eyes had turned red. She seemed to want to laugh, but she did not want to laugh. In short, when Lin Tian saw Yun Huang''s current appearance, his heart immediately ached.


    "Nothing, I''m happy." Yun Huang wiped the overflowing tears off his face, then gently looked at Lin Tian, facing Lin Tian, smiling like a flower as he said: "Lin Tian, you must remember your words!"


    "I ¡­" Lin Tian did not seem to understand what Yun Huang meant. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "You, you agreed?"


    Yun Huang directly walked in front of Lin Tian and laid on his shoulder.


    Lin Tian felt an extremely pure fragrance come over, but it was quickly followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder.


    "What are you doing?" Lin Tian did not understand what was going on. He could already feel that it was Yun Huang who had bitten his shoulder.


    "I''m afraid you won''t be able to remember it, so I want you to remember it clearly." Yun Huang raised her head and looked at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was startled, but without any hesitation, he directly pulled Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang immediately exclaimed as he looked at Lin Tian: "What are you trying to do?"


    At this time, Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with a peculiar light. Yun Huang immediately understood Lin Tian''s gaze.


    Her pretty face flushed red as she gritted her teeth and said, "Scoundrel ¡­"


    Lin Tian was immediately provoked by Yun Huang''s words, saying that I am a pervert, then I will truly show you as a pervert.


    He directly kissed Yun Huang''s bright lips. Just as Yun Huang wanted to say something, Lin Tian''s lips were suddenly blocked, and he could only let out a whining sound.


    "Miss, Miss ¡­" At this moment, Granny Jin''s voice suddenly came from not too far away.


    Lin Tian and Yun Huang were shocked and quickly separated from each other.


    Yun Huang''s face was currently flushed, an indescribably bewitching beauty.


    Compared to the Cloud Phoenix in front of him, Jiang Ru Xue was like the difference between the stars, the moon, and the dust on the ground.


    Yun Huang said angrily to Lin Tian Dao, "It''s all your fault, now Granny has found out ¡­"


    "So what if you find out? You''re my woman now. I want to kiss my woman, do you even need to care about the opinions of others?" Lin Tian Ba replied.


    "Who said I want to be your woman, you pervert ¡­" Yun Huang immediately rushed towards Lin Tian in shame and anger.


    Lin Tian laughed mischievously as he sized up Yun Huang: "If you still dare to call me a scoundrel, then I''ll ¡­"


    Yun Huang was startled, but seeing that Lin Tian was just saying it, she did not move and immediately became bold: "I only know how to say it, do you really dare?"


    Lin Tian could not stand being provoked the most, but just as Lin Tian was about to take action, from nearby, another shout came: "Young miss, young miss ¡­."


    Lin Tian immediately retracted his hand in fright. Yun Huang let out a laugh and then said in a low voice: "A man with no balls ¡­"

 C56

    Lin Tian stared blankly, but he did not dare to do anything else. However, thinking back to the feeling of gentleness just now, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth couldn''t help but curl into a smile.


    Yun Huang did not notice Lin Tian''s expression and turned around to face Granny Jin: "Granny, don''t worry. I will leave after saying these words to him."


    "Alright." Granny Jin replied indifferently without asking any further questions.


    Yun Huang turned her head and saw Lin Tian looking at her with a silly face. She was happy in her heart, but her face was stiff as she said: "Idiot, what are you looking at?"


    "You look good." Lin Tian subconsciously replied.


    "Damn." Yun Huang rolled her eyes in annoyance.


    Without waiting for Lin Tian to say anything, Yun Huang turned to Lin Tian Yun and said: "Idiot, I have something to say to you, you have to listen carefully."


    "Alright." Lin Tian looked at Yun Huang''s serious expression and immediately became serious.


    Yun Huang laughed and then said: "I believe the dragon soul in your body has already told you my identity."


    Lin Tian nodded his head. Yun Huang possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix.


    "Mn, I am the successor who possesses the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix." "When I was very young, someone told me that I was born with the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, and am destined to become the holy maiden of our clan. No one can change that."


    "Therefore, when I was very young, no one played with me. When everyone saw me, they would respectfully call me Holy Maiden ¡­"


    Speaking up to here, Yun Huang''s mood was somewhat low. Lin Tian gently held Yun Huang''s hand, and softly said: "It doesn''t matter, you still have me."


    The most important thing is that when I was twelve years old, the High Priest suddenly found me and told me that our Heavenly Phoenix Clan has always had a mission to find a successor with a True Dragon bloodline. Cultivating together with him, becoming Dao-companions, and then giving birth to the blood of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, this is the mission of our Phoenix Clan! "


    Before this, he had never known what the so-called Ancestral Hall of the Phoenix Clan was. Even the words that Horned Demon had spoken to him were unclear. Now that Yun Huang had said it, Lin Tian immediately understood.


    The significance of the phoenix race''s existence seemed to be because of the existence of the dragon race.


    The teachings of the phoenix race was to find a descendant of the bloodline of the dragon race and give birth to a descendant. Wasn''t this equivalent to using the phoenix race as a tool for bearing children?


    And why emphasize that?


    So what if he gave birth to a child? What was it for?


    "Kid, you don''t have to be so conflicted. This is destiny." At this time, Horned Demon''s voice suddenly came from inside the Divine Palace. However, he only said one sentence and didn''t say anything more.


    Lin Tian also knew that Horned Demon was intentionally hiding it from him, but he wanted to know why this was all happening.


    But now he finally understood why Yun Huang had told him that it was impossible to disobey fate when she first sensed his bloodline. At that time, Lin Tian was still puzzled, but now he was completely clear.


    Furthermore, back then when he was making love with Yun Huang, Lin Tian had clearly felt Yun Huang''s killing intent. In other words, at that time, Yun Huang had harbored killing intent towards her, so she wanted to kill Lin Tian.


    This was the reason for everything.


    "That''s right." Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian''s flickering eyes and knew that Lin Tian had guessed what had happened.


    "The first time I sensed your existence, it was somewhat inconceivable. Because the High Priest said that I possess an incomparably pure Ancestral Phoenix bloodline, so once I meet a descendant of the True Dragon bloodline, I can immediately feel it. The High Priest also said that if one day ¡­


    "I can sense that it must be the destiny."


    Yun Huang continued, "But later on, I really did not expect that the Pagoda Fruit would have such side effects, that''s why ¡­"


    "I would like to thank that Pagoda Fruit. Without it, I would not have obtained your heart." Everything that had happened between him and Yun Huang was too unfathomable. He never would have thought that it would make Lin Tian suspect that there was some kind of power that was controlling everything.


    However, Lin Tian did not like this feeling. It was as if every step of his was part of someone else''s plan.


    Yun Huang smiled lightly and said: "Then, shouldn''t I also thank that Pagoda fruit ¡­"


    "Of course." Lin Tian tightly gripped Yun Huang''s hand.


    "Dirty." Yun Huang spat, then laughed: "I don''t know if this is fate, the High Priest''s words were true."


    Speaking to this point, Yun Huang suddenly felt a bit sad, because the things that the ancestor had said had already completely happened. She understood her feelings, she truly liked Lin Tian, but now that she suddenly said these things to Lin Tian, Yun Huang couldn''t help but feel afraid.


    "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian saw that Yun Huang''s face did not look good and guessed a little.


    He gently embraced Yun Feng in his arms, then asked with a mischievous smile: "Then, other than this so-called destiny, when did you like to let me have it?"


    Without waiting for Yun Huang to reply, Lin Tian had already spoken. He whispered into Yun Huang''s ears: "Do you want to start from that night?"


    "Pui! Scoundrel!" Yun Huang''s face immediately turned red from embarrassment, "No way, after that night, I wanted to kill you, but after that, I don''t know why ¡­"


    Yun Huang did not continue.


    Lin Tian said: "Then do you know when I fell for you?"


    Yun Huang shook his head.


    Lin Tian whispered into Yun Feng''s ear once again: "From that night ¡­"


    "Lin Tian, you''re going to die. If you dare say that again, I''ll ¡­"


    "How is it?" Lin Tian softly asked.


    "I''ll ignore you." Yun Huang said bitterly.


    "Alright, alright, I won''t tease you anymore." Lin Tian lightly embraced Yun Huang and muttered to himself: "Actually, from the first time I saw you, I had a feeling that my heart was moved."


    "What did you say?" Yun Huang asked with a smile.


    "It''s fine if you don''t hear it." Lin Tian laughed.


    "You were tempted the moment you saw me? "Why do I feel like the first time you saw me was a cold look?"


    "You heard me, you lied to me." Lin Tian immediately pretended to be angry and said.


    "Haha ¡­"


    The two of them rubbed their ears for a while before Yun Huang finally broke free from Lin Tian''s embrace: "I still want to tell you something."


    "You''re leaving, aren''t you?" Lin Tian could already tell that Yun Huang and Granny Jin were about to leave.


    "Yes." Yun Huang nodded and said in a depressed tone, "I''ve been out for too long, the High Priest will be unhappy."


    "Where can I find you?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Lin Tian, listen up, I''m in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan of the Demon Spirit Realm. If one day your cultivation can reach the Emperor Stage, come find me. If you can''t, don''t ever come look for me." Yun Huang said solemnly to Lin Tian.


    "The Emperor Realm!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    "Isn''t this level of difficulty a bit too high?"


    Right now, he was only at the Qi Hai realm. Above the Qi Hai realm was the Aurous Core stage, above the Aurous Core stage, there was still the Star River stage, and the Emperor stage was still above the Star River stage.


    If Lin Tian wanted to break through to the Emperor Realm, he would still need to walk a very long path of cultivation.


    "Can I look for you without breaking through to the Emperor Realm?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Absolutely not." Yun Huang shook her head.


    "Why?" Lin Tian asked in confusion.


    "If you find me before you have broken through to the Emperor Realm, you will be killed by them." Yun Huang''s expression was somewhat anxious, afraid that Lin Tian would not listen to her and look for her before breaking through to the Emperor Stage.


    "They? "Who is it!?" Lin Tian immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    "The High Priest has already found countless descendants who possess the Dragon race''s bloodline. If you count them, there are at least a hundred of them. But now, only ten of them are still alive."


    "The High Priest raised them up, making them kill each other every year, finding the strongest person and letting them live. Afterwards, he forced them to continuously awaken their dragon bloodline. His final goal was ¡­"


    "Duo Cultivation with you?" In the eyes of that so-called High Priest, he was most likely using Yun Huang as an item. This kind of method was also something that the High Priest was lucky enough to think of.


    However, since he dared to do so, he must stop it today.


    Yun Huang was his woman, no one could force Yun Huang to do something she did not want to do. If anyone wanted to hurt him, Lin Tian must make him pay!


    She naturally knew that Lin Tian was worried for her. She gently held onto Lin Tian''s hand: "You, don''t worry, the High Priest will not do that temporarily, because I have not reached the Emperor Realm yet, and only when I have reached the Emperor Realm will the High Priest tell me about this. However, I will purposefully slow down to break through, but you have to promise me, once you reach the Emperor Realm, you must come and find me."


    "Yes, I will definitely speed up my cultivation. Don''t worry." Lin Tian tightly held onto Yun Huang''s hand.


    "Alright, don''t worry, I have the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, the High Priest would not dare force me. Moreover, I already have you, if the High Priest were to force me, I would give you up ¡­" Yun Huang said to Lin Tian with a crafty smile.


    "Of course, if that dog-shit High Priest dares to force you, I will personally come here and take his dog head." Lin Tian coldly said.


    "Alright, I won''t tell you anymore, your grandma should be waiting anxiously for you." Yun Huang did not speak further. He had said everything he needed to say.


    Just as Yun Huang was about to leave, Lin Tian suddenly grabbed onto his hand.


    Yun Huang stared blankly. Lin Tian had already pulled her to Grandma Jin.


    "Grandma, please take care of her. Please." Lin Tian solemnly bowed to Grandma Jin: "You have watched her grow up. To Yun Huang, you are her closest kin, so please take good care of her."


    "Kid, you don''t need to say so much. I know, but do you know the identity of our young mistress?" Do you understand her mission? " Granny Jin''s voice suddenly became cold and fierce.


    When Yun Huang heard Granny Jin''s words, his mood suddenly dropped.


    She knew Granny Jin was right.


    I, Lin Tian, swear an oath to the heavens and earth here, I will protect her forever. I will not let her suffer even the slightest bit of grievance, for what she does not want to do, no one can force her, I do not care about any nonsense of fate, I only know that she is my destiny, my mission is to always love her. "


    "If the Heavens really want her to accept this kind of bullsh * t fate, I will pierce through the heavens and take her back from the heavens. She is in my hands, and no one can take her away from me!" Lin Tian''s incomparably solemn voice resounded in the ears of the two people.


    Yun Huang blankly looked at Lin Tian, the tears in his eyes could not help but fall.


    Lin Tian didn''t seem to notice. He possessed her body and said indifferently to Granny Jin: "Grandma, I''m the descendant of the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline!"


    Nanny Jin suddenly trembled, her face was filled with disbelief as she looked at Lin Tian, her voice trembling: "Are you speaking the truth?"


    "Granny, please help me keep this a secret, and take good care of her!" Lin Tian did not speak further. He turned around and said to Yun Feng: "Come, before we part, hug one of them."


    Yun Huang rushed into Lin Tian''s embrace and sobbed: "Who let you swear the oath to the heavens ¡­"


    Lin Tian did not say anything and only hugged Yun Huang tightly.


    Yun Huang was his, no one could take him away!

 C57

    Yun Huang naturally did not stay any longer. Even though Lin Tian and Yun Huang were reluctant to leave, in the end, they obediently followed Granny Jin and left.


    However, Lin Tian naturally knew that with his current strength, he could not keep Yun Huang here. In fact, even if he had reached the Emperor Stage, he might not necessarily be able to keep Yun Huang here.


    However, he at least knew where Yun Huang was. And right now, the High Priest would not touch Yun Huang. After all, Yun Huang had not reached the King''s Realm yet.


    According to what Yun Huang said, the High Priest would definitely not touch her.


    When Yun Huang had left, Lin Tian had let go of one of his worries. This was because before, he had never thought of how to face Yun Huang. But now, nothing was a problem.


    However, there was another mission on Lin Tian''s body, the Emperor Realm. Although it seemed very far away at the moment, for the sake of Yun Huang, he had to reach the Emperor Realm as soon as possible.


    He carried the Dragon Clan''s greatest treasure with him, as well as the help of Horned Demon. To Lin Tian, the Emperor Stage was only a matter of time.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t want this day to last too long ¡­


    After settling the emotional conflict between him and Yun Huang, Lin Tian rushed back to the Sky Dragon Academy without stopping.


    Lin Tian naturally knew what it meant to kill Luo Lie. Presumably, it would be known by Tian Luo Kingdom''s royal family soon.


    In addition, Lin Tian''s vote was too big. The Blazing Prince Yongan Mansion had annihilated the two great families. The people of the two great families and the Eternal Prince Mansion had all been annihilated.


    In particular, the Heavenly Dragon Guards didn''t leave a single one alive.


    The Imperial Family would be furious, this matter could not be concealed, and the Imperial Family would quickly find out who did this.


    Only one night had passed since Lin Tian killed Luo Lie. First, he had to discuss what to do next with Xiao Yunhai.


    Returning to the Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian discovered that the Sky Dragon Academy students were all looking at him as if they were looking at a monster. Other than some fear, they were more grateful.


    Most of the students in the Sky Dragon Academy were from the commoner district. They were bullied by the Zhao Family, the Li Family, and the Prince''s Mansion, all because they were born poor and not of nobility.


    Now, there were finally people standing up for them in the commoner district. Therefore, most of the offspring of the Humble Class were grateful to Lin Tianxin.


    There were even quite a few disciples from the commoner district warmly greeting Lin Tian. Lin Tian also politely responded. After all, the disciples of the commoner district had previously been in an extremely good group and had even helped Lin Tian quite a bit.


    As for the disciples of the small families and powers, most of them were still afraid of Lin Tian, because after Lin Tian did all that, the outside world gave Lin Tian a new name, the "Berserk Demon of Annihilation"!


    After all, there was the Li family, Zhao family, and also the example of the Yongan Mansion. They did not dare to test it out on their own, but luckily, they had not bullied Lin Tian before, so they did not need to worry that Lin Tian would find trouble with them later on.


    Along the way, many people looked at Lin Tian with smiles on their faces. Lin Tian replied with a smile.


    Returning to Xiao Yunhai''s room, Xiao Chen, Xiao Yunhai, and Li Wan''er were all there.


    However, there were actually three more people in the room.


    "Zhang Yi, old man Zhang, and aunt Zhang?" When Lin Tian saw these three people, he immediately cried out in surprise and joy.


    The three extra people in the room were none other than Zhang Yi''s family who lived with him in the commoner district.


    Zhang Yi''s family was an extremely simple family, and Zhang Yi and Lin Tian had grown up playing with each other, so normally, Old Zhang and Aunt Zhang treated Lin Tian as if he was their own. Zhang Yi also had a sister, but of course, it wasn''t just Zhang Yi''s sister, but also Lin Tian''s sister.


    However, their older sister was kidnapped by one of the stewards of Prince Yongan''s estate because she had a few looks, so she could only die miserably in the end.


    Lin Tian had always kept this matter in mind and had never forgotten.


    "Ya, Tian Wazi is back." When Old Man Zhang saw Lin Tian, he was also extremely happy.


    However, Zhang Jiuniang''s aunt suddenly glared at Papa Zhang and said, "Now that Sir Lin has grown up, how can you still call him Tian Wa? Call me Sir Lin. "


    Saying this, Aunt Zhang pulled Zhang Yi over: "Zhang Yi, quickly kowtow to your benefactor."


    "Brother Tian, I, Zhang Yi, kowtowed to you!" Zhang Yi, who had been standing at the back without saying a word, arrived in front of Lin Tian and knelt in front of him without hesitation.


    "What is this?" Lin Tian immediately supported Zhang Yi, she wanted to kneel, but when Lin Tian slightly exerted his strength, he felt as if there was ten thousand jin of strength dragging him, making him unable to kneel.


    "Aunty Zhang, what nonsense are you speaking? We are all family. Sir Lin, in front of all of you, I will forever be a child of you." Lin Tian said to Aunt Zhang, as he pulled Zhang Yi.


    Sister Yi, you are Zhang Yi''s sister, but you are also my sister. I should avenge her, because this is my duty, and my relationship with Zhang Yi is like that of a blood brother. I have no parents, and I have no parents. Lin Tian sincerely said.


    That was true. For so many years, he and Uncle Yu had received many favors from the Zhang Family.


    It wasn''t wrong that Lin Tian was cruel and merciless, but that was for his enemies. Towards his own family and friends, Lin Tian always had a drop of water in his heart to repay them.


    This was especially true for the Zhang Clan.


    Saying this, Aunt Zhang''s eyes turned red. "Tian''er ¡­"


    "We, our families, will not speak such kind words." Lin Tian lightly interrupted Aunt Zhang, and then said: "If the people from Prince Yongan''s Palace burned down my house, then wouldn''t that also bring disaster to your family? "You will stay here at the Sky Dragon Academy. Coincidentally, I can also teach Zhang Yi martial arts in the next two days."


    "What? Brother Tian, you''re saying that I can cultivate the martial way?" Zhang Yi''s eyes immediately lit up. The thing that Zhang Yi regretted the most was that because of his poor talent, he was unable to practice martial arts and thus was unable to have the strength to avenge his sister.


    "Of course, when has your brother Tian ever lied to you?" Lin Tian smiled and turned around to look. He saw Xiao Yunhai''s face filled with surprise.


    Back then, Zhang Yi''s lack of talent and aptitude for cultivation was determined by Xiao Yunhai. This was because Lin Tian and Zhang Yi had come to look for Xiao Yunhai together, but at that time, Lin Tian''s aptitude was astonishing, and Zhang Yi had been judged as lacking in talent and unable to cultivate.


    But how could Lin Tian suddenly say that Zhang Yi could cultivate martial arts?


    Of course, it wasn''t that Zhang Yi couldn''t train, but if she didn''t have enough talent, then it would be very difficult to cultivate, and it would often have the effect of doubling the results by half.


    If Zhang Yi were to train, he would only be able to stay in the Qi Disciple realm for his entire life, and this was with the constant supply of cultivation resources for him. However, the path of martial arts was a survival of the fittest, and it was impossible for him to squander so many resources.


    Zhang Yi originally didn''t have much hope for her own cultivation, but now that Lin Tian had actually said he could cultivate martial arts, it immediately caused her to be wild with joy.


    At this time, Old Man Zhang and Aunt Zhang were also incomparably excited. Their hearts were filled with joy as they looked at Lin Tian.


    Zhang Yi''s ability to practice martial arts was exactly what they wanted many years ago. In this world, only by being able to practice martial arts, can one become an outstanding person and not be bullied by others.


    But after being happy for a while, Old Zhang had experienced the world and could not help but ask Lin Tian: "Tian Wa, you killed Luo Lie and even burned down the Wang Mansion. How could the Imperial Family forgive you?"


    Lin Tian secretly said: "Old man Zhang''s words still hit the nail on the head, but right now, I can''t tell them too much, lest they worry."


    Thinking about that, Lin Tian slightly smiled and said: "Old Zhang, don''t worry. I have already been accepted by the people from the Azure Province Academy, what kind of existence is that? I am already a disciple of the Azure Province Academy. At that time, with the Azure Province Academy protecting me, the Imperial Family will not be able to do anything to me. "


    When Old Man Zhang heard Lin Tian''s words, he repeatedly nodded his head: "Tian Wa has made a comeback. He actually became a disciple of the Azure Province Academy ¡­"


    "Azure Province Academy?" Zhang Shuang and Zhang Yi were both surprised, they had heard of the Qingzhou School before.


    After all, the Azure Province was the top power in their hearts. Moreover, the Azure Province, what kind of concept was that? Below the Azure Province, there were hundreds of cities like the Sky Dragon City, and the students that came from the Azure Province were all very promising. Before, a student of the Azure Province had come out of their area, but now, they were all centurions of the Azure Province''s guards and were in charge of a hundred of the Azure Province''s guards.


    So when Lin Tian mentioned that he was accepted into the Azure Province Academy, the three of them relaxed. Before this, they had been worried that Lin Tian''s actions would attract the pursuit of the Imperial Family, but now, they didn''t need to worry at all.


    Lin Tian smiled and nodded. Then he said to Zhang Yi: "Take old man and aunt Zhang to rest first and stay in this Sky Dragon Academy. Don''t worry. Come find me tonight and I''ll help you cultivate the martial way."


    Zhang Yi nodded her head, Lin Tian was older than her, and they had a good relationship since they were young, so he naturally did not doubt Lin Tian''s words.


    After the three of them left, Xiao Yunhai let out a sigh, and looked towards Lin Tian Yi: "Tian''er, you know Zhang Yi''s talent is too poor, even if she forcefully cultivates in the Martial Dao, she still won''t be able to achieve much. Do you mean that just to make the two old men happy?"


    "That''s not the case." Lin Tian shook his head and said: "Master, I have another way to help Zhang Yi cultivate her martial arts, I naturally wouldn''t lie to them. Master, don''t worry."


    "Oh?" Xiao Yunhai looked at Lin Tian in surprise, then asked: "Is what you said true? What special technique do you have that can increase a martial artist''s talent? "


    "Please forgive me master, but I will keep this a secret." Lin Tian shook his head. He did not plan on saying much.


    "Fine, I want to see how many more secrets you have, brat." Xiao Yunhai laughed and scolded him, no longer saying anything else.


    On the other hand, Xiao Chen faced Lin Tian, "I am going back. I actually saw you on this trip down the mountain. When I go back, I need to report to Master."


    Lin Tian looked at Xiao Chen with reluctance in his eyes. Xiao Chen was definitely a good helper. However, Lin Tian believed that after this period of contact, Xiao Chen had already become friends with him.


    Thus, there was no need to be hasty about the future.


    "Good, safe journey, brother." Lin Tian did not say much. He only hugged Xiao Chen.


    Take this. As long as it''s still on you, I can sense where you are. If you need help, I''ll come over and help." Suddenly, a white and fat bug crawled out of Xiao Chen''s arm. Xiao Chen said a few words to the bug, and the bug leaned over Lin Tian''s arm unsteadily. In an instant, it turned into a bug imprint, imprinting itself on Lin Tian''s left arm.


    Xiao Chen did not say anything else and just left.


    Only Li Wan''er and Xiao Yunhai were left in the room.


    "Sir Lin, what more can you do about what you''ve promised me?" The voice was clear and melodious. It was none other than Li Wan''er''s voice.

 C58

    Lin Tian''s gaze turned to Li Wan''er, who was currently looking at Lin Tian with a crafty expression: "Sir Lin originally promised me, but Sir Lin encountered such a huge change the moment you returned, so I naturally didn''t say anything more. So I kept my mouth shut until now, when Sir Lin is done with his own matters."


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "That''s about it."


    "Then what did Sir Lin promise me?" Li Wan''er asked.


    "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go with you to the Heavenly Thunder City." Lin Tian replied without hesitation.


    Xiao Yunhai stared blankly. He didn''t understand what kind of riddle Lin Tian and Li Wan''er were playing.


    Lin Tian gave Xiao Yunhai a simple account of what had happened back then within the illusory dragon gate.


    Only then did Xiao Yunhai nod, and lightly said: "That''s good too. You just caused trouble in Sky Dragon City, so you coincidentally also went out to hide."


    Lin Tian nodded his head. That was exactly what he meant. The Imperial Family''s reaction would definitely be very fast. It was estimated that in a few days, they would be able to find his head.


    Furthermore, all of the remaining poison in his sea of consciousness had already been removed, so there would still be space for him to rise in the future. Tian Luo Kingdom''s royal family attached particular importance to the strong, especially to those who had reached the Star River Realm.


    However, Tian''er, what you just said might be a relief to the Zhang Clan, but it might not be without reason. The Azure Province is one of the top martial arts academies in the Tian Luo Kingdom, and behind them, is the support of the royal family, but the royal family is not in charge, and they have brought out numerous talents for the Tian Luo Kingdom over the years. If you were to really enter the Azure Province Academy, as long as you display enough potential, it would not be a big deal for you to kill the prince of a small place. Xiao Yunhai muttered to himself.


    He hadn''t thought about this before, but now that he said it, he had a plan.


    As long as you have the talent of a genius or the strength of a genius enough to let the Azure Province Academy appreciate you, at that time, the people of the Azure Province Academy will take the initiative to communicate with the Imperial Family and kill a prince named Luo.


    Looking at it within the Sky Dragon City, it was definitely a top-notch event, but in the Azure Province Academy, it was only a small matter. Besides, the person who was killed was the prince of such a remote place.


    To be honest, within the Azure Province Academy, those geniuses with incomparably monstrous talent were people who could not control themselves. Not to mention the princes of a small place, even if they were from a big place, as long as they were from close relatives of the royal family, as long as they provoked them, they would still kill without hesitation.


    In any case, the Azure Province would support them, so there was no need for them to worry.


    When Xiao Yunhai thought of this, his eyes immediately lit up. However, he couldn''t help but feel somewhat bitter in his heart. After not staying in the Azure Province Academy for so many years and staying in this small place, even his own thoughts had been restricted.


    "Tian''er, you should first go to the Heavenly Thunder City and help this young lady take back her clan''s property, and save her mother. I will contact your Grand Uncle right now and ask him. When you return, I think everything will be settled." Xiao Yunhai was unable to contain his excitement.


    Looking at the time, it was already the end of the year, and the Azure Province Academy should have already sent people over.


    Every year, when the Azure Province Academy came to recruit people, they would come to the Sky Dragon Academy to recruit a disciple. There was no need to examine him, Xiao Yunhai just had to recommend him.


    Xiao Yunhai would naturally recommend Lin Tian. However, recommendation was recommendation. Whether or not he could enter the Azure Province Academy still needed to be inspected.


    The purpose of Xiao Yunhai contacting Ling Tianlie this time was to ask him if the preliminaries this year would be very difficult.


    In the past, there had been a few disciples recommended by Xiao Yunhai. Many of them had unparalleled talent in Sky Dragon Academy and were well-deserving of their title as one of the most outstanding students, but after going to the Azure Province Academy, their status had become unknown. There were also a lot of things that had not passed the Qingzhou Academy''s preliminaries and were directly rushed back.


    Xiao Yunhai said that they would act immediately, and Lin Tian''s heart also felt a bit of warmth. Li Wan''er looked at Lin Tian, then slightly smiled and said: "Lin Tian, then I''ll come look for you early tomorrow morning."


    "Why did you call me Sir Lin just now and now call me Lin Tian?" Lin Tian slightly froze and could not help but ask.


    "Because, I want to call ¡­" Li Wan''er''s voice had already disappeared into the distance. Lin Tian shook his head and began to meditate.


    This was originally Xiao Yunhai''s study, but now it had become Lin Tian''s cultivation room.


    After a few days of large battles, Lin Tian finally felt that he had the intention of breaking through. In addition, with the continuous battles, Lin Tian once again gained a lot of insights. More importantly, he gained a deeper understanding of the cultivation of Symbol Masters.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly submerged himself in his cultivation state.


    As Lin Tian sat cross-legged to meditate and enter into cultivation state, the mini Lin Tian in the Heavenly God Palace''s soul also started to meditate.


    However, the difference was that when Lin Tian cultivated, the whirlpool in his dantian started to revolve non-stop. Within the Divine Manor, on Lin Tian''s soul, a rune began to appear and disappear, continuously emitting an extremely holy light.


    "dual cultivation of talisman and martial arts?" Inside Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, Horned Demon suddenly muttered.


    Right now, Lin Tian''s current state was unexpectedly cultivating both the rune dao and martial arts at the same time. It was truly a bit inconceivable.


    The qi and blood on Lin Tian''s body was extremely exuberant. From afar, Lin Tian''s entire body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of extremely faint red light, making him look very strange.


    But between Lin Tian''s eyebrows, from time to time, a white light would be emitted, causing Lin Tian''s entire body to once again become pure white.


    This cycle repeated for an unknown amount of time. Lin Tian suddenly felt the blood in his body start to surge and boil.


    Lin Tian''s mind concentrated and tightly controlled the power, allowing the King Kong to continuously flow through his meridians. Not long after, the power had already circulated several hundred times through Lin Tian''s meridians, and after a while, the blood energy outside was suddenly absorbed by Lin Tian, the power that originally flowed in his body completely dispersed, turning into an abnormally pure Essence Qi that spread through Lin Tian''s limbs and bones, nourishing his internal organs, and healing the hidden injuries in his body.


    All of this was like a spring breeze blowing through the rain, causing Lin Tian to feel very comfortable. Lin Tian let out a long breath of white gas, his body currently had an indescribable feeling of comfort.


    It was also at this time that Lin Tian''s body suddenly emitted a "kacha, kacha" sound. Lin Tian felt that his entire body was filled with Essence. He fiercely opened his eyes, which flashed with a bright light. Then, he retracted his gaze.


    "Third level of the Qi Hai realm!" Lin Tian was both surprised and happy. He didn''t think that he would break through to the third level of the Qi Hai realm so quickly.


    With this cultivation, he had actually broken through two levels in succession.


    The key point was that just now when Lin Tian was cultivating, he had actually felt it. He seemed to have become smarter. The confusion from his previous cultivation had now been easily solved without the slightest feeling of sluggishness.


    Lin Tian gently stretched his waist, not knowing why there was such a change, but at this time, his Divine Palace was also greatly shaken from his breakthrough. His mind was concentrated, and when he immersed himself in his Divine Palace to examine the situation, he discovered that, unknown to him, there was a subtle change in his little soul.


    On the forehead of Lin Tian''s soul, there was a faint white mark before, but now, that white mark had started to become a bit blurry. If one didn''t look at it carefully, it was already hard to see.


    Not only that, his soul had also become more and more corporeal. Moreover, Lin Tian didn''t know why, but he kept feeling that his soul had become more and more attractive.


    This alluring meaning meant that his spirit began to become more and more agile. Previously, his spirit still felt stiff and rigid, but now, he was completely like a human being.


    "Congratulations, you have reached the level of a Superior Grade Symbol Master." At this moment, Horned Demon''s voice sounded. His tone carried a hint of happiness.


    Lin Tian had heard from Horned Demon that Symbol Masters'' cultivation was divided into different levels. The lowest and most basic level was the low rank Symbol Master, and above that was the middle rank, and above that was the high rank.


    However, regardless of whether they were of the upper, middle, or low rank, these were all basic level Symbol Masters. Above the primary level were the Spirit Grade Symbol Masters.


    Beginner Symbol Masters, in other words, were the words spoken by those who had just stepped into the Dao of Talismans.


    He did not expect that he would be able to break through from an Inferior Grade Symbol Master to a Superior Grade Symbol Master so quickly.


    "This is mainly because you swallowed An Yuan''s soul." Horned Demon replied to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. No wonder he broke through so quickly. Back then, he had absorbed An Yuan''s soul.


    This way, his cultivation speed would be greatly increased.


    "Then the changes in my body ¡­" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask again.


    "Of course it''s because you consumed the Pagoda fruit." Horned Demon replied indifferently, "The effect of the Pagoda Fruit is limitless. You will know about it in the future."


    At this point, Horned Demon suddenly said, "Someone''s coming."


    Lin Tian was slightly startled: "Someone is coming?"


    But then, he remembered that Zhang Yi had come to find him.


    He told Zhang Yi to come and find him at night, but was it already night time?


    Lin Tian looked around. Unknowingly, it was already night time for this round of cultivation.


    "Brother Tian, are you there?" Suddenly, Zhang Yi''s voice came from outside.


    "I''m here. Come in." Lin Tian indifferently replied.


    He said that Zhang Yi could train in the martial way, and that wasn''t just talk, but that he really had a way to improve Zhang Yi''s talent.


    But the way was through the dragon blood in his body, of course Lin Tian wouldn''t give the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi couldn''t accept such a violent power, not even a little bit.


    But Zhang Yi should be able to accept his blood.


    In other words, Lin Tian had given his own blood to Zhang Yi to increase her talent. Although the amount of dragon blood in his body wasn''t much, it was enough to increase Zhang Yi''s talent.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly cut his wrist. Blood immediately flowed out and an extremely rich fragrance along with the smell of blood was immediately emitted.


    Lin Tian Yuan Qi wrapped around the blood, evaporating the water vapor in the blood. Before long, his own blood condensed into a red pill, Lin Tian naturally knew that if he let Zhang Yi drink his blood, Zhang Yi would naturally not be willing, but condensing such a pill, Zhang Yi would not doubt it.


    All of this happened in an instant. Zhang Yi pushed open the door and saw the red pill in Lin Tian''s hand.


    "This is a Spirit Pill I obtained from the Yongan Mansion. You''re lucky, kid. Eat it. This medicinal pill is able to enhance your natural talent." Lin Tian faintly smiled and then handed the pill over to Zhang Yi.


    "Brother Tian, you''re so nice to me." Zhang Yi didn''t hesitate, taking the pill and swallowing it in one gulp.


    Lin Tian didn''t move as he watched Zhang Yi''s change. He couldn''t help but ask: "What do you feel?"


    "Hot, so hot!" At this time, Lin Tian had already seen the top of Zhang Yi''s head begin to emit bursts of heat.

 C59

    "It''s good that it''s hot. That level of medicinal pill has the effect of cleansing the muscles and bones." Lin Tian indifferently said to Zhang Yi. This wasn''t a lie from Lin Tian, it was a pill condensed from his own blood, it indeed had this kind of effect.


    Lin Tian''s body had the essence of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence, but he did not digest too much of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence. Until now, he only digested a tenth of it, or maybe even less, but every time, as long as Lin Tian absorbed a bit, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.


    Right now, Lin Tian''s own blood naturally had the power of the dragon blood, but it wasn''t much.


    This was also the reason why Horned Demon said that he wasn''t truly of the dragon race yet.


    This was because Lin Tian''s current bloodline wasn''t pure. Although there was a dragon bloodline, it was only a portion.


    But even so, it was more than enough to help Zhang Yi to rejuvenate her bones and change her aptitude.


    "Brat, Zhang Yi got such a good fortune for nothing." Seeing Zhang Yi''s reaction, Horned Demon couldn''t help but laugh: "You know, right now in your body, you don''t only have the blood of a dragon, but more importantly, you took the Pagoda Fruit. The effect of the Pagoda Fruit is endless, and most of it is stored in your body, and you haven''t completely digested it yet. Your blood also contains a lot of the effect of the Pagoda Fruit.


    "Oh right, I have yet to ask you. What exactly is the medicinal power of the Pagoda Fruit?" Lin Tian saw that Zhang Yi was absorbing his blood pills, so he didn''t have anything to do. Thus, he started to ask about the effects of the Pagoda fruit.


    Horned Demon had said something, but he didn''t make it clear.


    However, Lin Tian also knew that the reason why he was able to continuously break through two levels and feel that his comprehension ability was extraordinary, and even become more intelligent, was all because of the Pagoda Fruit, but what exactly was the use of the Pagoda Fruit?


    "I''m not afraid to tell you the truth now, this Pagoda Fruit was originally a fruit shared by the dragon race. Although the dragon race is huge, the reproduction rate is very low. This fruit can help the dragon race reproduce." Horned Demon didn''t think that Lin Tian would still be asking this question, so he didn''t continue hiding it and directly said it.


    "When you obtained this fruit, I was puzzled. Why did you obtain this fruit?" Horned Demon recalled, "However, this Pagoda Fruit is indeed of great use to me. Back then, my soul was damaged, and only the incomparably strong Spirit Fruit was able to have some effect on my soul."


    "However, when you obtained it, I really did not plan on letting you consume it as well. This is because the effect of the Pagoda Fruit''s aphrodisiac might very well directly destroy you. However, at that time, Yun Huang suddenly appeared." Horned Demon said with a sigh, "This is indeed karmic luck. When the dragon race uses this fruit, they use it together between males and females. Now that you''ve obtained the Pagoda fruit and Yun Huang has obtained the fruit, it can be said that fate has not come true."


    "So you intentionally tricked me into saying that once the spirit of the Pagoda Fruit leaves the fruit tree, it will be greatly reduced, which is why I have to choose to immediately refine it?" Lin Tian recalled the events that had occurred, and felt that he had always been in the calculation of the Horned Demon.


    "Brat, you''re wrong when you say that, how am I lying to you?" "The spirituality of the Pagoda Fruit is indeed lost, it is just that it is extremely slow. If it wasn''t for the Cloud Phoenix, I would definitely have let you take it back and consume it. However, at that time, if both of you were still here, it would have been better to consume it immediately."


    "In any case, the both of you are able to eliminate the medicinal strength of the Pagoda Fruit ¡­" Hornless said again.


    But right at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly thought of a situation where his balls hurt. If he hadn''t heard wrongly, what Horned Demon had just said was that this Pagoda Fruit was helping the dragon race reproduce, then his Cloud Phoenix ¡­


    He wasn''t prepared to be a father yet, even though he was already sixteen years old and had turned seventeen the previous year. Although at his age, in Sky Dragon City, if it was a young man who didn''t cultivate, he would have already gotten married, but right now, he didn''t want to ¡­.


    "It shouldn''t be. Even if it is, it shouldn''t be that fast. After all, both of your bloodlines are extraordinary." Hornless answered with some uncertainty as well.


    "..." Lin Tian was speechless for a long time.


    At this moment, he was completely shocked, especially after knowing about this matter. If Yun Huang is serious, then just because of this one time ¡­


    He only knew that now was not the time to think about this. Moreover, even if he wanted to find Yun Huang, he would need to become an Emperor Stage expert in order to find her.


    "Even after talking for so long, you still haven''t revealed the medicinal properties of this fruit?" Lin Tian ignored the messy thoughts in his mind and once again asked the Horned Demon.


    "I''ve already explained it clearly. The effect of the Pagoda fruit is to help the dragon race to reproduce. Actually, this is the most useful part of the fruit. This is for the dragon race." Hornless added.


    This is because once a dragon clan is born, it will become an extremely powerful existence. However, to you, this Pagoda Fruit is of great use because it can help you cleanse your bones, reconstruct your body, and even help you purify your bloodline. As for removing mortal bones, the reason why you feel that you have become more and more intelligent is because your mortal bones have been removed. Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    Lin Tian also understood that the dragon race was already strong to begin with, their bodies were a huge treasure trove, they did not need the help of external forces, so the dragon race did not need any heavenly resources, but because the dragon race''s reproduction rate was too low, the Pagoda Fruit was extremely important.


    However, Lin Tian was a human and not a dragon, so a heavenly treasure like the Pagoda Fruit was naturally of extraordinary importance to him.


    "What does removing mortal bones mean?" Lin Tian understood what Horned Demon meant when he said about reconstructing the body, purifying the bloodline, and reconstructing the bones. Moreover, when he had just awakened the blood of the dragon clan, he had already experienced remodeling and reconstructing the body.


    "The reason why the human race cultivates with high and low aptitude is because of the effects of mortal bones. Mortal bones are a bone born in the back of the head, and that bone determines the level of your innate talent. "Some people''s mortal bones are too big, preventing the circulation of their blood, which means their talent is low. However, some people''s mortal bones are too small, and their blood and Qi aren''t blocked, which means that their qi and blood are vigorous, which means they are highly talented existences. With that mortal bone, no matter how talented you are, it will still affect your original cultivation." Hornless explained.


    There are many experts in the human race who will actively seek out ways to remove mortal bones so as to not affect their future cultivation. Right now, you have already removed mortal bones and are already walking in front of many people.


    "But when removing mortal bones, how come I didn''t feel it? Moreover, I didn''t feel it when I reconstituted my body and cleaned my marrow?" Back then when he had received the dragon blood, he had suffered extreme pain from the marrow cleansing and remodeling of his body. But now that his body had undergone such a huge change, he actually didn''t feel anything at all.


    "The effect of the Pagoda fruit was originally extremely strong, but after cultivating with Yun Huang, your powers are already scattered around your body, so all of your uses are subtly altered. Naturally, you will not be able to sense it." Horned Demon indifferently replied. Then, he suddenly pointed at Zhang Yi and said, "He seems to be succeeding."


    Lin Tian looked at Zhang Yi once again. Zhang Yi''s eyes were full of malevolence, as if she was suffering from some kind of terrible pain.


    Not only that, a fishy stench was being emitted from his body. The clothes on his upper body had also completely ruptured at this moment, revealing his upper body. His body was covered in black sweat, and the black sweat had gathered together and turned into extremely viscous black impurities.


    Lin Tian secretly nodded his head. This was the situation that would occur when one cleansed their bones. At this moment, his entire body was being forced out because of the impurities produced by the pill.


    Zhang Yi was still emitting steam.


    After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yi let out a loud roar and opened her eyes. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and immediately after, the disgusting impurities in his body also disintegrated into ashes, disappearing without a trace.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that it was the eight extraordinary meridians in the human body. At this time, Zhang Yi had such a change, he had opened all eight of the meridians in his body, and a tiny red energy was flowing through Zhang Yi''s eight meridians nonstop. Not long after, it had completely turned into energy, and was stored in Zhang Yi''s body.


    At this moment, Zhang Yi felt an indescribable sense of comfort in her body, making her want to groan out loud.


    It seemed like the effect of his own blood was not ordinary. Even Lin Tian did not think that just a little bit of his blood would make an ordinary person unable to cultivate, open up eight meridians, and then directly reach the Qi Disciple stage.


    "Brat, don''t underestimate your blood. Especially after you absorb even more dragon blood and the medicinal strength of the Pagoda Fruit, don''t waste it so much in the future." Horned Demon advised.


    Lin Tian nodded his head, but this time it was to help Zhang Yi. Lin Tian naturally did not hesitate, but it did not mean that he did not understand, his blood was so magical, it was also a huge secret, if he did not hide it from others, sooner or later it would attract their attention.


    "Brother Tian, can I cultivate now? I can feel that my body is filled with endless energy. Am I a martial cultivator now?" Zhang Yi nervously looked at Lin Tian and asked.


    "Of course you can. With your current aptitude, you should be the number one student in Sky Dragon Academy. In the future, you should train well with my master. I''ll be waiting for you at Sky Dragon Academy." Lin Tian smiled as he encouraged Zhang Yi.


    "Really, I can really cultivate now, I can become a martial cultivator now!" Zhang Yi''s face was still filled with disbelief.


    Lin Tian nodded his head again and walked in front of Zhang Yi, patting her on the shoulder: "Go, tell this good news to Old Man Zhang and Aunt Zhang, let them be happy. "Also, remember to tell elder sister Yi."


    "Thank you, Brother Tian." Zhang Yi did not go out, but knelt in front of Lin Tian once again.


    "Get up. We''re family, why are you being so polite?" Lin Tian held onto Zhang Yi, not letting her kneel.


    Zhang Yi''s eyes turned red, "Brother Tian, you''ve been so kind to me, Zhang Yi will never be able to repay you."


    "We are all brothers." Lin Tian didn''t say anything more, but seeing that Zhang Yi didn''t have any intention of leaving, he couldn''t help but laugh: "You can go. Brother Tian has been accompanying you for half the night. If you aren''t going to rest, then let me sleep."


    "Alright, Brother Tian, I''ll be leaving first." Zhang Yi immediately left.


    Lin Tian watched Zhang Yi leave, but he did not choose to rest. Instead, he said softly to the distance: "Lady Wan''er, come out. I know where you are. We won''t waste any time, and we won''t wait any longer. We will set off now."


    Just as Lin Tian finished speaking, a person walked out from behind a wall not far from the room. It was Li Wan''er.


    She had been here for a long time, and should have been attracted by the commotion caused by Zhang Yi.


    Lin Tian had long since felt her existence and decided not to rest. In any case, with his current strength, as long as he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, he would be able to stay awake for several days and nights.


    It would be better to leave as soon as possible, otherwise Zhang Yi''s parents and Xiao Yunhai would drag him along to ask all sorts of questions, which would delay him even more.


    Li Wan''er wasn''t surprised. She simply packed up, followed Lin Tian, and left in the darkness of the night.


    Not long after the two of them left, Xiao Yunhai''s voice came from an unknown place: "This brat is afraid that I''ll ask him about the secret on his body ¡­"

 C60

    The Heavenly Thunder City was right next to the Heavenly Dragon City. It wasn''t too far away, and it would only take half a day to get there.


    At this moment, a man and a woman were walking on the public road, neither too fast nor too slow.


    It was none other than Lin Tian and Li Wan''er.


    Along the way, Lin Tian asked about the details, but didn''t ask any more questions.


    It was clear that Li Wan''er''s mother was in the hands of a group of bandits near the Thunder City.


    Their residence was called Black Wind Ridge, and it was a hundred miles away from the Heavenly Thunder City.


    Just in case, Lin Tian decided to go to Black Wind Ridge first. After all, in the shadow of the dragon gate, Lin Tian had directly killed the seven leaders of Black Wind Ridge.


    Right now, the Black Wind Ridge was the same as being without a leader. It might already be chaotic. After all, it had been ten days since the illusory image of the dragon gate opened.


    So Lin Tian repeatedly thought about it and decided to first save Li Wan''er''s mother.


    At the same time, in Tian Luo Empire''s capital city, Tian Luo City.


    The hall master who was in charge of the Tian Luo Sect previously had finally seen the current Tian Luo Kingdom''s monarch.


    At this time, it had already been three days since he discovered that Luo Lie''s Destiny spirit tablet had shattered. In other words, it had already been three days since Luo Lie''s death.


    But only now did he meet the king. However, he also understood that in such a small place like this, even though he was a relative of the royal family, he was actually just an ant in the eyes of the king.


    That hall master even suspected that if it wasn''t for Luo Lie''s surname being Luo, the king wouldn''t have bothered with it at all.


    After all, all the officials of the imperial court were saying that the king was about to go into seclusion and was going to try his best to break through to the Profound Life stage. After all, the king was no longer as young as he was in his prime.


    If there were no major breakthroughs in his cultivation, the king''s time would be up.


    Thinking of this, the pavilion master''s heart tightened, afraid that the king would forget.


    The truth proved that the king had indeed forgotten, because during the assembly today, the king had not even shown his face.


    The palace eunuch spoke directly to the civil and military officials, "The king has already gone into seclusion. The matters concerning the imperial court are handed over to the First Prince, the Second Prince, the Ninth Prince, and many other ministers."


    With that, the Inner Palace Eunuch left, leaving the civil and military officials staring at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say.


    In the end, the First Prince stood up first. As the time came for the king, the few princes eyed the throne covetously, and among them, the First Prince, Second Prince, and Ninth Prince were the representatives. This time, the king handed the important matters to the three princes, and a few officials also supported each other.


    The First Prince had the trust of a hundred officials, and he was the eldest son of the Royal Family. He was the one who was considered to be the most likely to inherit the throne.


    The First Prince stood at the front of the hall and said to the crowd, "The officials have something to report. If there''s nothing else, they can disperse."


    "Reporting to the First Prince, I have something to report." That hall master''s name was Luo Da, and he was also a member of the Imperial Family. He knew that if he didn''t speak of this matter now, he would never have another chance.


    The First Prince glanced at Rhoda and frowned, "Rhoda, aren''t you in charge of the Luo Clan? Why, are you applying for another position?"


    The reason why the First Prince remembered Rhoda was because in his impression, Rhoda had always been extremely dissatisfied with his current position and had always wanted to apply for another position.


    When Rhoda had mentioned that he had something to report to the First Prince, the First Prince had immediately thought of this matter.


    Rhoda shook his head and said, "The First Prince has misunderstood me. This is a serious matter. A Destiny Soul Plate broke in the ancestral hall."


    "Hmm?" The First Prince''s sword-like eyebrows twitched, and his expression changed.


    When the other officials heard Luo Da''s words, they were all shocked and began to discuss amongst themselves.


    "Speak clearly." Of course, this sudden death was none other than an assassination attempt. This was because no one reported the death of the prince below, which meant that the king had been killed.


    "Three days ago, the attendant who was in charge of the Destiny Soul Board mentioned that a spirit tablet had suddenly shattered. This subject went over to check and found out that it was the Heavenly Dragon City King, Luo Lie, who was killed by someone." Rhoda replied.


    "Sky Dragon City?" Hearing this name, the First Prince immediately frowned. It was not for any other reason but because this name was too unfamiliar. He did not even know that there was such a city in Tian Luo Kingdom.


    "First Prince, Luo Lie is the eighth generation grandson of King Yongan, Luo An. He is stationed in Sky Dragon City. Oh, right, Sky Dragon City is a small city in Qingzhou. It is normal for the First Prince to not remember it." When one of the officials beside saw the First Prince''s expression, they immediately went up and explained.


    "Oh, after King Yongan, I have some impression of him." The First Prince nodded, "I''ll leave this matter to ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, the Second Prince had already stepped forward, "Big brother, little brother is willing to share the burden for father and run errands for brother. Leave this matter to me."


    The First Prince was slightly startled, and then he looked towards the Second Prince in surprise, but then he understood.


    He had won the support of more than half of the court officials at the same time as his second brother. However, this second brother of his had taken a completely different approach to pull most of the princes to his side.


    Since he was in such a rush to come forward, it must be because he knew Luo Lie from before.


    Tian Luo Kingdom was lacking in everything, just that they did not lack in princes. There were at least thousands of princes in the entire Tian Luo Kingdom, so if this second brother of his wanted to rope him in, it would just be a dream.


    The First Prince smiled slightly and said, "That''s fine too. It can''t be better for Second Brother to have such thoughts."


    He turned his head and looked at the ministers who could discuss the matter, and the Ninth Prince, who had been silent all this time, and said with a faint smile: "Ninth Brother, Pavilion Elders, you have no objections, right?"


    The few Pavilion Elders were all his people, so of course they would follow his lead. Naturally, they would have no objections, mainly because of that Ninth Brother.


    The ninth prince raised his head, looked at his big brother and second brother, and suddenly laughed: "I have no objections."


    "That''s good." The First Prince nodded, then said, "Second Brother, I''ll leave this matter to you. You should know what to do, right?"


    "Naturally." The Second Prince nodded and said, "Eldest Brother, don''t worry. I will definitely take care of this matter properly."


    The First Prince nodded and continued to handle the other matters. However, the Second Prince did not stay a second longer and left with Rhoda in a hurry.


    Tian Luo Kingdom, Second Prince''s Mansion.


    "You''re saying that Luo Lie was killed three days ago?" The Second Prince looked maliciously at Rhoda.


    "That''s right!" Rhoda replied.


    "It has already been three days, why did you only say that today? It seems that you have completely forgotten what you should do!" The second prince''s gaze turned cold and harsh.


    "It''s not that I don''t want to say it, but the king hasn''t come to court for the past few days!" Rhoda also felt a bit wronged. He had reported this matter to the inner palace on the first day, but it was only today that the news of the king coming to court had spread. He had rushed over, but he still hadn''t met the king in the end.


    "Mm, I understand. You can leave now." The Second Prince waved his hand.


    Rhoda originally had more to say, but upon seeing that the Second Prince''s expression wasn''t too good, he could only leave.


    However, just as he was about to leave, the Second Prince suddenly called out to Rhoda, "If I recommend you to my father when the throne of Sky Dragon City becomes vacant, would you be willing?"


    Rhoda''s face was filled with ecstasy, but he immediately understood what the Second Prince meant. He did not hesitate and directly knelt before the Second Prince, "Rhoda, from now on, you are willing to be at the Second Prince''s command!"


    He had always wanted to get out of that hellhole in the ancestral hall. Being a local despot was much more comfortable than staying in that dead person''s memorial archway all day.


    "You''re very understanding, if nothing unexpected happens." I will fully support you in taking the throne. " The Second Prince nodded in satisfaction.


    Rhoda happily left. In his heart, he really wanted to thank the person who had killed Luo Lie. If he did not kill Luo Lie, such a good thing would never reach him.


    However, the Second Prince began to ponder. "Who exactly dares to kill Luo Lie? Moreover, three days ago, Luo Lie had just come to see him. Could it be that it was his good big brother or the good Ninth Brother who did it in the dark?"


    Luo Lie had been the first to support him. Under his leadership, countless small cities'' princes had expressed their loyalty to him. Now that Luo Lie had died, he had to show off. Otherwise, wouldn''t it ruin the hearts of those princes who had followed him?


    "Someone, find Xiao Lin for me." The Second Prince shouted to the servants.


    "Yes."


    The Black Wind Ridge was located a hundred miles away from the western outskirts of the Heavenly Thunder City. It was considered to be located right next to the city on the west side of the Heavenly Thunder City.


    The Li family, which was also Li Wan''er''s family, was the largest Alchemy family in the Heavenly Thunder City, so it was no exception for the people in the Black Wind Ridge. Lin Tian also remembered that the head of the seven leaders he killed back then was a Qi Hai warrior.


    Such a power couldn''t be underestimated in this area. Furthermore, it was far away from the Skythunder City. Even if the Skythunder City King wanted to stand up for the Li Clan, it was still impossible.


    By the time they sent troops to wipe them out, they would have already run away.


    In the ten or so miles in front of the Black Wind Ridge, there were sentries squatting there. Moreover, there would be people who would come contact with each other every so often. However, Lin Tian had already killed them all along the way.


    The existence of the Black Wind Ridge was bound to become a disaster sooner or later.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Lin Tian and Li Wan''er had just appeared under the Black Wind Ridge. No one knew where, but countless cold arrows shot down in an instant.


    Lin Tian released his Essence and formed a faint red barrier, protecting both him and Li Wan''er inside.


    "Truly courting death!" Lin Tian coldly snorted and threw the Dragon Scale Spear straight towards the arrow just now.


    The Essence wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear. In that instant, the Dragon Scale Spear''s power directly spread out, killing those who were hidden in the shadows and releasing cold arrows.


    Miserable screams rang out one after another. After that, there was no more sound.


    The Dragon Scale Spear automatically returned into Lin Tian''s hands. In the next moment, one corpse after another suddenly fell from behind a huge rock not far away.


    But at the same time, a voice resounded throughout the entire mountain range.


    "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"


    Lin Tian suddenly looked over. There was still one person that hadn''t died. He was just about to desperately run up the mountain.


    However, before they had even run far, a sound of breaking air came from behind them.


    A long spear caught up to him and nailed him to the ground.


    However, his voice had also completely shocked everyone on the Black Wind Ridge.


    "Let''s go. Right now, we can only kill our way up." Lin Tian pulled Li Wan''er and quickly ran towards Black Wind Ridge.

 C61

    At this moment, the Black Wind Ridge was in chaos. There were roars everywhere.


    Lin Tian pulled Li Wan''er and crazily rushed up. On the way, Lin Tian suddenly asked: "Have you been here before?"


    "Yes, they asked me to come over when I saw my mother." Li Wan''er answered.


    "Since you''ve been here before, it''s a lot easier to handle." Their main purpose in coming here was to save Li Wan''er''s mother. As for taking care of this trash, it was just a convenient matter.


    "Go find your mother first and ensure her safety. I will be responsible for blocking those trash. With your current level 7 Qi Disciple strength, aside from those leaders, the rest shouldn''t be your opponents, right?" Li Wan''er was also an expert of Qi Disciple level 7. Other than the seven leaders of Black Wind Ridge, the rest of the people were probably not her match.


    Li Wan''er nodded. The guards for her mother were not strong. She could handle them by herself.


    At this moment, the top of the Black Wind Ridge was in chaos. Countless people suddenly rushed out from a mountain stronghold on the mountaintop. At this moment, they were all crazily rushing down.


    "Hurry up!" He tightly gripped the Dragon Scale Spear as his eyes filled with coldness.


    Black Wind Ridge was not a very tall mountain. On the mountain top was the bandits'' mountain stronghold, and on the mountainside was a secret place to guard. Her mother was imprisoned in that place.


    The bandits that were rushing over from the top of the mountain quickly charged at Lin Tian. Not long after, they surrounded Lin Tian.


    A middle-aged man with a scarred face looked at Lin Tian and sneered: "Brat, you dare find trouble with my Black Wind Ridge. I think you must be tired of living. Charge and kill him."


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth revealed a strange smile: "Killing me would depend on your ability."


    Everyone immediately brandished their swords and sabers, slashing towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian shook his head: "They really are a motley crowd. Wanting to kill me like this is really wishful thinking."


    This was because the strength of these bandits were basically at the 1st or 2nd level of the Mortal Realm. They were people who had just stepped into the martial way, so it was not a problem to deal with them. However, dealing with a Qi Hai warrior like Lin Tian was simply wishful thinking.


    The Dragon Scale Spear shook slightly as the Essence on Lin Tian''s body exploded out and shot towards the crowd that surrounded him.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian gave a low shout and the Dragon Scale Spear gently trembled. In the next moment, it charged towards the surrounding people like a swimming dragon.


    AHH!" Screams immediately rang out. The surrounding people didn''t even have time to react before dying under Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear.


    The horrifying part of the Dragon Scale Spear appeared without a doubt.


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already killed dozens of people.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian already rushed towards the scar-faced middle-aged man in front of him. That person''s strength was at the 8th level of Qi Cultivating Stage, and if Lin Tian guessed correctly, that person should be the strongest person on Black Wind Ridge. Of course, he should also be the person in charge of Black Wind Ridge.


    That person also didn''t think that in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian would kill all the people surrounding him.


    He looked at Lin Tian in astonishment. The astonishment and fear in his heart could be imagined, but in the next moment, he suddenly came to a realization: "You, you''re a strong Qi Hai warrior ¡­ ¡­"


    He hadn''t even finished speaking when Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear already moved. The Dragon Scale Spear wrapped around the force of a thunderbolt and instantly blasted towards that person.


    In an instant, that person was nailed to the faraway mountain stronghold by Lin Tian. Above the stronghold, there were two large words: "Black Wind Stronghold". That person was nailed to the signboard by the Dragon Scale Spear.


    "This ¡­" The remaining bandits of Black Wind Ridge all looked at Lin Tian with faces full of fear.


    They could not understand when they had provoked such an existence.


    "No matter what, he is going to die anyway. Let''s fight it out with him!" The remaining people suddenly loudly roared. Everyone returned to their senses and rushed towards Lin Tian once again.


    Lin Tian coldly laughed: "Stubborn, leaving you alive is also a disaster. By eliminating you, it will benefit the surrounding villagers within a hundred miles."


    His figure quickly dodged while dodging everyone''s swords and sabers, and at the same time, he punched out with the Great Fortune Fist. After his strength had reached the 3rd level of the Qi Hai realm, the power of the Great Fortune Fist once again increased, and this time, just one punch was enough to kill dozens of people.


    The remaining few people didn''t even wait for Lin Tian to throw out a few punches before they were all turned into corpses.


    As a precaution, Lin Tian searched through the Black Wind Stronghold once again to ensure that none of the bandits had left out, and along the way, Lin Tian even plundered the treasures accumulated over the years in the Black Wind Ridge. There were too many things, and Lin Tian didn''t have the time to look at them, so he could only stuff them into his own storage ring.


    When Lin Tian finished doing all of this and arrived halfway up the mountain, Li Wan''er and a middle-aged woman were already standing there waiting for him.


    Lin Tian took out a torch in front of the stronghold''s entrance and directly threw it into the Black Wind Stronghold.


    As the Essence moved, the wrapped up flames were instantly ignited. The fire immediately became bigger, and before long, the entire Black Wind Stronghold was covered in black smoke.


    Looking at the two surprised people, Lin Tian indifferently said: "This group of bandits is vicious to the extreme. Leaving them in this world is a disaster, so we''ll conveniently clean them up. Let''s go and take a look at your house."


    Li Wan''er supported her mother as she followed Lin Tian''s footsteps.


    Li Wan''er''s mother, Lady Li, didn''t suffer too much in this Black Wind Stronghold. After all, the reason the Black Wind Stronghold robbed her was only for the Li family''s pills.


    On this trip out, she was only somewhat haggard, but she was not injured.


    Madam Li had just asked about Lin Tian''s identity, and Li Wan''er had told her mother everything that had happened to her.


    After Lady Li heard this, her face immediately became somewhat gloomy. "Li Yuanjie, you really are your good second uncle. You actually wanted to bully a young child that has just reached adulthood while I was not around."


    "Mother, what should we do now?" Li Wan''er asked softly.


    "To take back that family business, of course." Madam Li gave a cold snort and said, "This family business was won by your father and me. But now, it has been taken advantage of by Li Yuanjie ¡­"


    "But now, everyone in the entire Li Clan belongs to Second Uncle." Li Wan''er said worriedly.


    "Don''t worry, I still have him, right?" Madam Li glanced at Lin Tian and said thoughtfully.


    Li Wan''er didn''t threaten her at Black Wind Ridge. Why didn''t she tell Madam Li about the Dragon Scale Spear and how Lin Tian was acquainted with her? It was mainly because she was afraid that Madam Li would be worried.


    But now, her mother seemed to have misunderstood her relationship with Lin Tian, but a misunderstanding was unavoidable.


    Lin Tian seemed to have heard the conversation between Li Wan''er and her mother. He turned around and glanced at Li Wan''er, and seeing the pleading expression on her face, Lin Tian said without the slightest hesitation: "Naturally, I will help you guys take back what was yours."


    Li Wan''er''s eyes immediately lit up with gratitude.


    Lin Tian smiled slightly, but did not think too much about it. When he had taken the Dragonscale Spear from Li Wan''er, he had wanted to help her save her mother and then help them take back the family. This was originally Lin Tian''s plan, so it wasn''t really a big deal.


    However, when Madame Li saw the expressions of the two of them, she felt that something wasn''t right. She coldly stared at Lin Tian: "You''re called Lin Tian?"


    Lin Tian nodded his head.


    Madam Li carefully examined Lin Tian and could not help but nod her head. She then said: "I will not ask where you came from nor what your family is like. However, your appearance is not bad and your strength is not bad."


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. He didn''t know what the purpose of Madame Li''s sudden words was.


    Li Wan''er was startled as well, but she immediately reacted. Her large eyes stared at Lin Tian as a bright red glow flew out from her face.


    "How far have you and my Wan-Er progressed?" Madam Li didn''t seem to notice the two''s strange reactions and directly asked. Then she muttered to herself: "Lin Tian, this name is too unfamiliar. Where did this damned girl meet you ¡­"


    Lin Tian was stunned, then he suddenly understood Lady Li''s meaning. It seemed that Lady Li thought something had happened between him and Li Wan''er, so she spared no effort to help them ¡­


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth slightly twitched. This, in Lady Li''s eyes, he was her future son-in-law. No wonder Madam Li had been carefully sizing him up just now. Wasn''t this what future mother-in-law would think of her future son-in-law!?


    Lin Tian was about to explain, but he suddenly saw Li Wan''er''s teary eyes looking at him as she signaled him not to tell her the truth. He immediately understood what Li Wan''er meant and sighed in his heart.


    Madam Li believed that the two of them had a real relationship, so she felt embarrassed and could not ask any further.


    However, Madame Li''s sudden words stunned the two of them.


    "Wan''er is already an adult, it''s time for the marriage. Since everything has happened to both of you, I will take charge of the marriage for both of you when we take back our families. At that time, I will spend the whole year living, and the rest will be up to you two ¡­"


    Lin Tian felt his balls ache. This, this Madame Li even prepared their marriage?


    And what does it mean by "everything happened"?


    But Lin Tian did not reply. A misunderstanding had already occurred, and there was no way of explaining it now. He would help them reclaim the family before explaining it in detail.


    Li Wan''er saw that Lin Tian didn''t explain. Her heart thumped wildly, but then calmed down. But somehow, Li Wan''er felt like her face was burning.


    The three of them hurried along the way, finally returning to the Heavenly Thunder City in the evening.


    However, it was already too late to go to the Li family estate now, so he might as well wait until tomorrow.


    In addition, Madam Li had been imprisoned all this time. Now that she had travelled so far, she could no longer bear it.


    Lin Tian found an inn in the city, but when he asked for a guest room and Lin Tian asked for three, Madam Li directly interrupted Lin Tian: "What three rooms do you want? Two rooms, one room for me, the two of you, one room."


    Lin Tian was completely helpless. This time it was over. He was sitting in his seat and could no longer explain clearly.


    When they arrived at the guest room, Li Wan''er said to Madam Li with a blush on her face, "Mother, we haven''t seen each other for so long. I''ll sleep with you tonight."


    "I''m just an old woman, what''s there to worry about? I didn''t suffer any grievances. What''s wrong with you two living together? Hurry up and give birth to a grandson! That''s the proper thing to do!" Madam Li did not hesitate to enter the guest room and lock the door behind her.


    Lin Tian was completely shocked by Lady Li. This, how could this be considered a matter? And there was even a mother who let the two of them live together before the marriage ended?


    She was afraid that this Li Wan''er wasn''t Lady Li''s flesh and blood ¡­


    Li Wan''er shyly looked at Lin Tian. Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, Li Wan''er directly pulled Lin Tian into the room.


    "I''m sorry, but my mother has that kind of personality." Li Wan''er explained with a flushed face.


    "No worries. You can sleep here. I''ll go outside and train for the night." Lin Tian helplessly shook his head and was about to leave.


    "Don''t go out, mother will suspect." Li Wan''er said anxiously.


    "It''s really a great fortune for Madame Li to have a daughter like you." Lin Tian sighed, then his figure slightly moved. The window silently opened, and before Li Wan''er could say anything, Lin Tian had already jumped out. The entire process was completely silent.


    Li Wan''er slightly stamped her foot. "You ¡­ You don''t want to stay with me that much!"


    "For the sake of the girl." Suddenly, a voice that only Li Wan''er could hear came from the distance.


    Li Wan''er was slightly startled, but immediately let out an exceptionally charming smile. She cursed under her breath, "Idiot!"

 C62

    The next day, there was a knock on the door of Li Wan''er''s room.


    "Wan''er, Lin Tian, get up."


    Li Wan''er suddenly woke up from her dream. "Oh no! Why is mother here now?"


    "Lin Tian, Lin Tian still hasn''t returned!" Li Wan''er''s eyes were filled with astonishment.


    But she suddenly saw a person in front of her. Lin Tian was standing right in front of her.


    Lin Tian softly made a silent expression before lowering his voice: "Madam, we''re almost done."


    The knocking on the door suddenly stopped. "Hurry up and get up. I''ll be waiting for you in the room."


    It was precisely Madam Li''s voice. When Madam Li said this, she left directly. The sound of footsteps could still be heard through the doors and windows.


    Li Wan''er let out a long sigh of relief and fell on the bed, gasping for air.


    Lin Tian''s gaze swept towards Li Wan''er. Only now did he realize that Li Wan''er was only wearing her close-fitting sleepiness, and half of her shoulder was exposed to the outside. Accompanying her breathing, Lin Tian was instantly stupefied.


    Li Wan''er saw that Lin Tian didn''t reply and immediately turned to look at Lin Tian.


    She saw that Lin Tian was staring at her. She looked at her own body and immediately discovered that something wasn''t right.


    She quickly wrapped herself up in the blanket and her cheeks started to burn.


    But strangely, if any other man saw her like this, Li Wan''er would definitely be extremely angry, but towards Lin Tian, Li Wan''er didn''t have the slightest bit of anger. Instead, she felt some joy in her heart.


    Li Wan''er covered her blushing face and couldn''t help but let her imagination run wild.


    He coughed a few times, and then stuttered: "No, I''m sorry, I, I didn''t do it on purpose, hurry up and get up. I promise to not look, otherwise your mother will come and rush you again ¡­ ¡­"


    When Li Wan''er heard Lin Tian''s words, she couldn''t help but ask: "How did you know my mother would call me this morning?"


    "I guessed." Lin Tian replied: "The reason your mother did this yesterday was very obvious. At that time, I guessed that she would definitely come back this morning. As expected, she came."


    "Then last night, you ¡­" Li Wan''er asked again.


    "Oh, no worries. I''ve found a secluded place to cultivate for the night. With my current strength, as long as I close my eyes and meditate for a while, I''ll be able to hold on for a few days without sleeping. You don''t have to worry about me." Lin Tian explained.


    In the bed, Li Wan''er suddenly stopped talking. In the next moment, Lin Tian heard the sound of rustling, and he immediately realized that it was Li Wan''er changing clothes. Lin Tian immediately turned his head with his back facing Li Wan''er, not daring to look at her.


    "Hmph, idiot." After Li Wan''er heard what Lin Tian said just now, she was still a bit moved. Through the seams, she could still see Lin Tian''s actions, so she couldn''t help but silently curse.


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t hear it, nor could he guess Li Wan''er''s thoughts.


    Initially, he only felt guilt towards Li Wan''er because he had stolen the Dragon Scale Spear from a woman. This time, Lin Tian felt that he owed Li Wan''er a favor, and the reason why he came was to avoid being hunted down by the Tian Luo Royal Family. The other reason was to help Li Wan''er, and to owe her such a favor.


    Therefore, he naturally wouldn''t guess Li Wan''er''s thoughts. Plus, he wasn''t that emotional, so he naturally didn''t understand the feelings Li Wan''er had for him.


    Not long after, Lin Tian and Li Wan''er came to Lady Li''s room in high spirits.


    After a night of rest, Madam Li''s complexion looked much better.


    "Alright, since you''re here, then set off. I want to see how this good second brother of mine manages the Li Clan!" Lady Li''s brows revealed a heroic spirit. She was originally the Li family''s Patriarch, and for a long time, she had developed her own unique majesty.


    Lin Tian followed the two people and directly arrived at the Li family estate.


    Tianlei City was much bigger than Tianlong City. In fact, based on the strength of the other cities, Tianlong City did not look like a city at all, especially when compared to Tianlei City, it looked more like a village.


    Heavenly Thunder City was bustling with activity, the area of the city was several times larger than Sky Dragon City.


    Because the Lee family was a pill concocting family in the center of the city, and because they were considered the most powerful alchemists in the entire city, the number of people who came to ask for pills could be said to be countless. Therefore, in the entire city, the Lee family could be considered a top-notch power, and even the Heavenly Thunder City''s City Lord, Luo Kai Shan, who was titled as the King of Heavenly Thunder, had to show respect to the Li family.


    After Madame Li was kidnapped by the people from Black Wind Ridge, the Li family was prepared to send people to clear out Black Wind Ridge. However, at that time, the current Patriarch of the Li family, who was also Madame Li''s brother-in-law, Li Wan''er''s second uncle, took advantage of the chaos to take over the position of the Li family''s Patriarch.


    He also forced Li Wan''er away. In fact, if Li Wan''er didn''t leave early, it was very possible that Li Yuanjie would have imprisoned her.


    Now that they had returned to the Li family estate, Lady Li and Li Wan''er felt like they had been separated by a lifetime.


    Madam Li and Li Wan''er did not know who the servants were in front of the Li family residence anymore.


    Madam Li gave a cold snort and said, "This Second Uncle of yours is quite capable. I''ve only left for a few days now and even changed my servants."


    "Who are you? What is your purpose for coming to my Li family?!" As the three of them stood in front of the Li family''s gate, the servant commanded them and shouted.


    "He really has the ability!" Madame Li flew into a rage. Li Wan''er also grabbed the servant and kicked him, causing him to kneel in front of Madame Li.


    "For a servant to be so arrogant, the humble teachings of our Li family must have been forgotten by your current master!" Madame Li angrily shouted, "Slap him!"


    This time, without waiting for Li Wan''er to make a move, Lin Tian had already made a move.


    Lin Tian''s slap sent the servant flying and heavily smashed on the Li family''s large door. The large door was instantly destroyed by the force of the impact and the floor was covered in wood splinters.


    The servant fell to the side, dying.


    "Who dares to act so wildly in my Li family?!" The people inside the door immediately heard the commotion outside.


    A group of guards rushed out and surrounded Lin Tian and Li Wan''er.


    The leader of the soldiers obviously knew Li Wan''er. He frowned. The Patriarch searched for you for a long time, but he was unable to find you. However, the Patriarch had already instructed that if the Big Miss came back, he would bring her directly to see the Patriarch. Someone, bring the Big Miss away, the Chief wants to see her! "


    The man shouted to the guards behind him. A group of guards immediately rushed forward.


    Lin Tian was just about to make a move when Madame Li suddenly yelled: "Good, Li San. Do you still remember me!?"


    The person whom Madame Li had addressed as Li San was immediately startled. He felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn''t recall which voice it was. He stared at Madame Li for a moment before being stunned and asked incredulously, "Madam?"


    "Seems like you haven''t forgotten who I am!" Madam Li snorted coldly, "Li San, you are so promising. The new master treats you very well, right? Otherwise, why would you work so hard for him and bring the Eldest Miss to see the family head?" What a joke, you all still know that she''s the big miss, so why can''t you all see your Patriarch, who is standing in front of you all! "


    Lady Li''s voice was getting colder and harsher, and Li San''s expression was getting uglier and uglier. He had never imagined that Lady Li was still alive!


    "Li San, I do want to ask you. Who is the Patriarch that you are referring to? Li Yuanjie? Why didn''t I know that my Li family''s Patriarch has become Li Yuanjie! " Madame Li didn''t even give Li San a chance to speak as she asked in a single breath.


    Li San was sweating profusely. "This, this..."


    "Yo, there are so many people in front of our house!" At this moment, a well-dressed young master suddenly walked over with several followers behind him.


    Lin Tian sized up the young master, but didn''t care. The Essence Qi on his body was extremely weak. With one look, one could tell that he was a prodigal son of a rich family.


    On the other hand, the few followers behind him allowed Lin Tian to have a new understanding of the Li family.


    Because the strength of these followers were all around the 9th level of Qi Disciple.


    Just the bodyguards of a mere Young Master had such an expert. One could imagine how powerful the Li family was and how powerful its influence was.


    Of course, this also reflected Heavenly Thunder City''s overall strength, and was much stronger than Heavenly Dragon City.


    In Sky Dragon City, a warrior at the 9th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage could be considered as one of the top experts. In the two great clans of Sky Dragon City, the Zhao Family and the Li Family''s Guardian Elder all had about the same level of strength.


    But now, the Lee family in the Heavenly Thunder City, any of the young master''s bodyguards had this kind of strength. It could be said that they had great influence.


    When the young master got closer, he saw that it was two women and a man.


    Looking from the back, one of them had a well-developed figure and the other was graceful. They were all the favorite of this young master.


    "Heh, Li San, tell your men to f * * k off. It''s a good thing our Li family has beauties in front of our doors. This is a happy occasion!" You bunch of hooligans, don''t scare the two beauties. " The Young Master scolded Li San as he walked towards them.


    Li San, on the other hand, stood motionlessly on the spot, his face drenched in sweat. He hadn''t thought that this popinjay would return at this moment.


    The person who came was called Qing Feng. He was the current third young master of the family, and also the most doted on young master of the family.


    However, the two people in front of him, were no ordinary people. One of them was his aunt ¡­


    Li San kept winking at Qing Feng, indicating for him to leave.


    However, Qing Feng couldn''t tell at all. He couldn''t help but roar at Li San, "Li San, is there something wrong with your eyes? Why are you constantly blinking at me?"


    "Also, I f * cking discovered that not only do you have a problem with your eyes and ears, but you don''t understand what I just said, right? I told you to scram!" Qing Feng had an arrogant face, but when he suddenly saw Lin Tian standing next to the two beauties, he immediately became furious, "Also, this man, take him away as well. Hit him half to death and then throw him to the dogs ¡­ ¡­"


    Li San still stood there, unmoving.


    Qing Feng was completely enraged. "It''s true that your father''s words are useless now, right? Just you wait. Li San, I''ll tell my father when I get back. I''ll open you up!"


    As Qing Feng spoke, he walked up to Li San and gave him a few heavy kicks.


    Li San could only endure it. He did not dare to retaliate, much less block it.


    Qing Feng was still fuming. He turned around and shouted to the guards that had surrounded the three people, "What are you all doing? Scram!"


    The group of guards did not dare to stay any longer and immediately retreated.


    Qing Feng looked at Lin Tian next to him and walked in front of him: "You don''t understand what I''m saying? You, you can crawl under my crotch right now. I won''t kill you, but I''ll let you live."


    "Kneel down and beg for mercy. Perhaps I can consider letting you have a quick death." Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth. His tone was only filled with a bone-piercing coldness.

 C63

    "Oh, a thorn has come, coming to my Li family''s gate to behave atrociously. What did you say earlier? I didn''t hear it clearly, so say it again?" Qing Feng''s expression also started to turn vicious. In his mind, he thought that since his Li Clan was so powerful, in the entire Heavenly Thunder City, the person who dared to disobey him had yet to be born, and this brat dared to disobey him, then he would be born out of regret.


    Qing Feng slightly nodded his head and the servants behind him immediately walked over from afar. They didn''t hesitate and directly attacked Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian had already sensed that before they made their moves, Lin Tian was already the first to make his move. Also, Lin Tian was much faster than them, so he threw out a Great Creation Fist.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also attacked Qing Feng. However, he punched the guards and used his palm on Qing Feng.


    "Whap." Qing Feng''s strength was only around the sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, so he was not as strong as Li Wan''er. However, Lin Tian''s hand strength was extremely strong, so Li Qingfeng was unable to withstand it and was sent flying by Lin Tian''s slap. He fell to the ground.


    The right side of his face was swollen and a few of his teeth had been knocked out.


    Lin Tian was just about to attack again, but just as he was about to kill this Qing Feng with a palm, Lady Li suddenly stopped him.


    "Qingfeng, from what you said just now, your little sister Wan''er and I have taken a fancy to both of you?" Madam Li walked up to Qing Feng and asked with a sneer.


    Qing Feng hadn''t been able to see Lady Li and Li Wan''er''s faces clearly, so he naturally didn''t know their identities. Now, when he saw Lady Li, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body. "Auntie ¡­"


    "It seems like you still know that I''m your aunt!" Madam Li abruptly made her move, and another slap viciously landed on Qing Feng''s face.


    Qing Feng was powerless to resist. He could only let out a shrill cry as he received the slap from Lady Li.


    However, just at this moment, another explosive shout sounded from within the door. "Li San, why does my Li family support you? Why is there such a hubbub outside the door? Who exactly is acting so atrociously in front of my Li family''s gate?!"


    As he said this, another young master walked out from the door. When he saw what was happening outside, his expression immediately darkened. However, upon closer inspection, he saw Lady Li and Li Wan''er.


    His expression became increasingly gloomy, but he still walked to Lady Li in a neither humble nor haughty manner. He asked, "Aunt, you''re back?"


    "Sister Wan-Er." The young master nodded to Li Wan''er again.


    "Brother, brother, save me! I''m going to die! Save me!" Qing Feng called to the young master with a trembling voice.


    However, the Young Master didn''t even glance at Qing Feng. Instead, he turned to Madame Li and asked, "What is the purpose of this return?"


    Only then did Madame Li withdraw her hand. She then gently wiped away the blood on her hand. "Li Qingyu, have your father come to see me."


    "Unfortunately, aunt, father went to the Heavenly Thunder Mansion early in the morning, and he was not in the mansion." The young master called Li Qingyu replied.


    "Then I''ll wait for him at home." Madame Li pulled Li Wan''er along as she prepared to enter the Li family estate.


    However, the Young Master slightly signaled them. Not far away, the guards who were retreating earlier rushed forward again and blocked the way in front of the crowd.


    "Aunt, you are no longer the Li family''s Patriarch. According to the Li family''s rules, a woman is not allowed to enter the hall. Aunt, please don''t make things difficult for your nephew." Li Qingyu said indifferently.


    "A woman can''t enter the main hall?" Madam Li''s brows twitched. "Why don''t I know of such a family rule?"


    "Aunt has not been the master of my Li family for a long time. Naturally, I do not know that this family rule is the current master of the Li family, and in other words, my father." Li Qingyu said with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.


    Madame Li was so angry that her lips were trembling. She pointed at Li Qingyu and said, "Good, good, good! What a great Patriarch!"


    Ah!" Right at this moment, Qing Feng''s blood-curdling screams rang out.


    Everyone was slightly shocked and only now did they realize that it was Lin Tian who had made his move. Lin Tian''s fist had hit Li Qingfeng and the boundless energy had instantly shattered Li Qingfeng''s meridians. At this moment, Li Qingfeng''s entire body was covered in blood and his seven orifices were bleeding.


    "I only want to say it once. Scram!" Lin Tian''s tone was light, but it carried a trace of an irresistible dignity.


    "Who are you? It is up to you to interfere with the matters of my Li family." Li Qingyu shouted, "Kill the men from my Li Clan. Today, your life shall be left here."


    With that said, an extremely large amount of Essence Qi exploded from Li Qingyu''s body, and in the next moment, she punched towards Lin Tian.


    Although Qing Feng was a bit of a playboy, he was still a member of the Li family and his own younger brother. How could Li Qingyu accept the fact that Qing Feng had killed Qing Feng without even blinking an eye?


    Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qingyu directly attacked Lin Tian.


    "Qi Hai realm?" Lin Tian was slightly taken aback. He didn''t expect Li Qingyu to be this strong. She was actually a Qi Hai warrior.


    However, Li Qingyu was only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm, so it was obvious that he was not strong enough to fight against Lin Tian, who was at the third level of the Qi Hai realm.


    "Break!" Lin Tian did not hesitate as he punched out towards Li Qingyu, directly piercing through her fist. He then punched towards Li Qingyu''s chest, the boundless power completely exploding Li Qingyu in the blink of an eye.


    Li Qingyu screamed as her body was sent flying. She fell to the ground and didn''t get up again.


    A punch exploded!


    This was the power of a third level Qi Hai warrior.


    Madam Li stared blankly at Lin Tian. This was the first time that Lin Tian had truly made a move in front of her. She completely did not expect that Lin Tian would be so strong.


    "You''re courting death! You actually dared to injure the eldest young master!" Li San looked at Lin Tian and immediately sent a punch over. The third young master had died and the eldest young master was heavily injured. If he did not intervene and wait for the clan master to return, he really would not be able to explain himself.


    "You, are not enough." Lin Tian faintly sneered as he revealed the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. Monstrous Essence wrapped around the spear as a red light rushed towards Li San.


    BOOM! BOOM! Li San''s fist collided with the Dragon Scale Spear.


    But without a doubt, Li San was sent flying by Lin Tian''s spear and immediately died.


    Li San had only just stepped into the Qi Hai realm, so it was naturally impossible for him to stop Lin Tian. After he sent him flying with one spear strike, Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear shook once again as he crazily rushed towards the crowd.


    In an instant, endless red light was emitted from the overflowing pikes. In the next moment, all of the guards were flipped over. Lin Tian did not kill them so those people only received heavy injuries and did not die.


    The most important thing was to preserve the main strength of the Li family. Otherwise, if Madame Li were to regain control of the Li family, the Li family would become an empty shell. Sooner or later, the Li family would be targeted by other powers, and this was not what Lin Tian wanted.


    After dealing with everyone, Lin Tian, Madam Li, and Li Wan''er headed straight to the main hall.


    The current Li family had changed greatly. The first thing Li Yuanjie did after he became the head of the family was to purge the people who held power under Lady Li. The Li family had recruited a lot of new people, some of whom didn''t even know Lady Li and Li Wan''er.


    At the same time, there were servants in the Li family who saw that something was wrong. They rushed to the Heavenly Thunder Mansion to inform Li Yuanjie.


    At this moment, Li Yuanjie was having a very pleasant conversation with Luo Kaishan, the Heavenly Thunder King. The reason Li Yuanjie came to find Luo Kaishan was naturally to seek his protection.


    Li Yuanjie had just taken over the Patriarch''s position not long ago, and the Li Family was extremely well-established. Li Yuanjie had only just taken over the Patriarch''s position not too long ago, and the Li Family was extremely well-established.


    Just in case something happened, Li Yuanjie still decided to ask for the Heavenly Thunder King''s help. Three days later, Li Yuanjie would hold the grand ceremony to inherit the Patriarch''s position. The reason why he came here today, was to have Luo Kai Shan come to support him.


    Of course, for the sake of inviting Luo Kai Shan, Li Yuanjie had paid quite a price.


    Among them was the Li family Medicine Pavilion that had the most business.


    But at this moment, the guard suddenly sent out a report saying that a servant from the Li family had come. There was an urgent matter to discuss with the Li family''s master.


    Li Yuanjie was astonished. Before he came, he had already specially instructed his servants not to disturb him even if it was something extremely important.


    However, seeing that Luo Kaishan didn''t have any intention of blaming him, Li Yuanjie decided not to stay here any longer.


    "Your Highness, that''s fine, but after three days, I ask that Your Highness come and support me!" Li Yuanjie respectfully saluted.


    "Sure, sure." Luo Kaishan had a polite look on his face. He laughed out loud and said, "Patriarch Li, please take care. I will not send you off."


    "Prince, please wait a moment. I will take my leave." Li Yuanjie bowed and left.


    His face, which was originally full of smiles, was suddenly covered in dark clouds. He hastily walked out of the mansion. A Li family guard was waiting outside anxiously.


    Li Yuanjie''s face was filled with displeasure as he scolded the guard, "Didn''t I already say that even if you have something important to say, do not come and disturb me. Don''t you know that I want to meet the Heavenly Thunder King? However, it is fortunate that I have said all that I need to say. What on earth is it? "


    "Patriarch, this is something big, bigger than the sky!" The guard quickly said.


    "Hmm?" Li Yunjie''s face turned extremely gloomy, and he stopped the guard, "This is not a good place to talk, let''s go."


    Along the way, the guard told Li Yuanjie everything that had just happened.


    "What did you say? That bitch is still alive?" Li Yuanjie''s expression instantly became stern. If he were to say it like that, then it was truly a matter that was even bigger than the heavens.


    Initially, three days later would be the ceremony for him to inherit the position of the Li family''s Patriarch. For this, he had even invited all the famous characters in the Heavenly Thunder City. But now, his sister-in-law, the previous Patriarch, had actually returned?


    Wasn''t this deliberately coming back to slap his face?


    "What do these bastards do?" Li Yuanjie coldly snorted, then asked, "Who is that youth?"


    This time, it was Lin Tian who asked.


    But Li Yuanjie didn''t have much of a reaction to Lin Tian killing Qing Feng, which made the servant a bit different." But Li Yuanjie didn''t have much of a reaction to Lin Tian killing Qing Feng, which made the servant a bit different.


    "This subordinate does not know where that young man came from either, but he is very strong. Eldest Young Master and Manager Li are both not his match in a single move." The guard replied.


    "This is strange. Yu''er and Li San are both at the Qi Hai realm, but they are not that kid''s match. It seems that the kid''s strength is above the first level of the Qi Hai realm, and he is much stronger than them." Li Yuanjie muttered to himself. He pondered for a moment, but still couldn''t guess Lin Tian''s true identity: "Strange, when did such an expert appear in the Heavenly Thunder City? How come I didn''t know?"


    "Come, let''s go home and take a look." Li Yuanjie and the others quickly returned to the Li family estate.

 C64

    At this moment, Lady Li and Li Wan''er were sitting in the great hall, waiting for Li Yuanjie''s return.


    The three knew that someone had gone to inform Li Yuanjie earlier. Their goal was to wait for Li Yuanjie to return, so they wouldn''t have to personally go find him when someone went to inform him.


    Not long after, Li Yuanjie returned with that guard.


    "Elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, you''re finally back." Before he even entered the door, Li Yuanjie''s sobbing voice could already be heard.


    Lady Li and Li Wan''er were both startled. Lin Tian slightly smiled. He wanted to see what this Li Yuanjie was up to.


    Li Yuanjie rushed into the great hall and knelt in front of Madame Li. He continuously kowtowed and kowtowed until his head made clattering sounds. Those who didn''t know this would think that Li Yuanjie truly hoped that nothing would happen to his sister-in-law.


    Li Yuanjie raised his head and squeezed out a few tears with great difficulty. He then howled at Madame Li, "Eldest sister-in-law, Second Brother finally looked forward to your return, ah, when you were kidnapped by those bandits of Black Wind Ridge, Second Brother risked his life to save you, but those thieves of Black Wind Ridge were too crafty, when I led my men, they disappeared without a trace."


    Li Yuanjie said it like it was the truth, but Li Wan''er knew that after her mother was kidnapped, this Second Uncle didn''t help at all, let alone bringing people to rescue them. These were all lies.


    "Oh, you''re being considerate." Lady Li did not expose Li Yuanjie, but only faintly smiled and said.


    Li Yuanjie was overjoyed. He did not expect that the few tears he had been putting on an act would actually fool his sister-in-law. She was indeed a woman with very little experience.


    After you were kidnapped, I''ve been bitterly supporting the entire situation of the Li family. You don''t know, ever since the other clan, there have been other powers, and even the Heavenly Thunder King, Luo Kai Shan, began eyeing our Li family, always wanting to take over our Li family''s property. I''ve been supporting the entire family by myself, and I really don''t have the strength to follow through with my heart.


    Li Yuanjie complained before saying, "Since eldest sister-in-law has returned, tomorrow, I will officially announce that I will withdraw from the family head position and return it to eldest sister-in-law."


    "Mm, good. Thank you for your hard work during this period of time." Madam Li said indifferently after taking a sip of tea.


    Li Yuanjie was stunned and then muttered to himself, "This ¡­ This isn''t right."


    He had put in so much effort just now just to move Madame Li and give her the seat of the family head back to him. If that was really the case, then he would have been able to win Lady Li''s favor without any bloodshed.


    Madame Li was not very old, and she was also incomparably beautiful. He had already had thoughts about her, and if he could think of another way to take her as his own in the future, that would be a beautiful thing.


    However, everything was not what he was thinking. That damned woman was still so determined to become the master of the family. If that was the case, he could not allow her to ruin his good fortune.


    When he had raised his head to observe, Li Yuanjie had also seen the young man that the guard had mentioned, which was Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian stood behind Lady Li and stood together with Li Wan''er.


    He had also noticed that this kid was at the third level of the Qi Hai realm, so it was not a difficult task for him.


    "Elder sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, since you refuse to drink, don''t blame me for being merciless." Li Yuanjie sighed in his heart.


    But after thinking for a moment, Li Yuanjie asked again, "Oh right, sister-in-law, I have yet to ask you. How did you escape from the hands of those bandits from Black Wind Ridge?"


    Before Madame Li could reply, Li Yuanjie spoke again, "Is it because of this youth''s help?"


    "That''s right, that''s right. Let me introduce you. This young man is Wan''er''s fianc¨¦, Lin Tian." Madam Li looked at Lin Tian and then said to Li Yuanjie.


    Li Yuanjie was stunned and asked incredulously, "Fianc¨¦?"


    "Yes." Madame Li nodded and continued, "Of course, he will be a member of my Li family in the future. In a few years, I will withdraw from the position of Patriarch and give it to Wan''er. Lin Tian can also help Wan''er manage my Li family."


    "Sister-in-law, you want to give the position of the family head to Wan-Er and even let an outsider join our Li family?" Li Yuanjie''s expression instantly turned ugly.


    "Not bad, what''s wrong? Do you have a problem with that?" Madam Li could not help but ask.


    "Nope." Li Yuanjie shook his head, "How could I have any objections? Wan''er has found such a good fiance, and I can''t be happy about it. How could I have any objections? This young man looks like a talent, and Wan''er has good eyes."


    "Sister-in-law, you, Wan''er, and Lin Tian have been rushing all the way here. I will have my servants tidy up your rooms and have you rest well. Tomorrow, I will announce all the Li family members and the Patriarch''s position and return it to you."


    "Sure." Madame Li did not refuse. Instead, she directly followed the servants to the room they had previously been in.


    After the servants left, Madam Li looked towards Lin Tian and couldn''t help but ask: "Lin Tian, do you think that Li Yuanjie ¡­."


    "The performance was not bad, but it was too fake. If others were to see through it with a single glance, it would be meaningless." Lin Tian indifferently replied: "If my guess is correct, then he will send someone to assassinate the three of us tonight. Right here."


    Madame Li had guessed it already, so she intentionally said that Lin Tian was Li Wan''er''s fianc¨¦ in order to test Li Yuanjie. However, the test''s effect was very obvious. Li Yuanjie really did harbor malicious intentions.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and then said: "Right now I still have another guess, but I don''t dare to confirm it ¡­ ¡­"


    "It doesn''t matter. We''re family. You can say whatever you want." Madame Li replied indifferently.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted and said: "Earlier, I heard from Wan''er that you were kidnapped, and I thought that the Black Wind Ridge people had taken a fancy to your Li Family''s property, which was why they took you away and made a fortune."


    Madam Li asked in astonishment, "Isn''t that the case?"


    "Before I came to the Heavenly Thunder City, I was right. However, after I came to the Heavenly Thunder City, I felt that something was amiss. This is too strange, no, completely wrong." Lin Tian faintly smiled.


    "Of the seven leaders of Black Wind Ridge, the strongest one is only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm. When I killed them, I was only at the first level of the Qi Hai realm. After Lin Tian said this, he smiled and asked: "Did the Madam understand what I said this time?"


    How long had Madame Li been in control of the Li family? Naturally, she could understand many things. Once Lin Tian said this, she immediately reacted.


    Lin Tian was only at the 3rd level of the Qi Hai realm, yet he could easily kill a bandit from Black Wind Ridge. He had saved her, and Li Yuanjie''s strength was above the 5th level of the Qi Sea. If he wanted to save her alone, he would have long since saved her.


    So to say, what Li Yuanjie said just now was a lie, he had never thought of saving Madame Li.


    "Not only that, I now suspect that the Madam being captured was originally a scheme set up by Li Yuanjie." Lin Tian said again.


    The leader of Black Wind Ridge naturally knew that their strength was mediocre, so he did not dare to provoke any of the major powers. He only dared to harass nearby villages or towns, or rob merchants.


    But this time, why did he eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, daring to attack the Li family?


    There was only one answer, and that was because they had someone supporting them from behind, or at their instigation. Of course, that was the only explanation.


    A cold light flashed through Madame Li''s eyes. When Lin Tian said this, she immediately understood.


    Before this, she had frequently run into merchants escorting precious herbs. However, before this, she had never met anyone from Black Wind Ridge. But this time, why did she run into one just out of the blue?


    The Li family was a large family with a reputable reputation in the Heavenly Thunder City, so Madam Li did not bring any experts to protect them.


    That was why he had been targeted by the Black Wind Ridge and taken away.


    "But if Li Yuanjie wants my Li family''s master''s position, why didn''t he let the people from the Black Wind Ridge kill me? Why did he let me live?" Madam Li asked doubtfully.


    "There is only one possibility." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before replying.


    "Tell me about it." Madam Li stared at Lin Tian and said.


    "Are you sure you want to hear it?" Lin Tian''s face had a difficult expression.


    "Speak."


    "I feel that there''s something else in Li Yuanjie''s gaze when he looks at Madam." Lin Tian deliberated on his words and said hesitantly.


    "Humph!" Madam Li immediately slammed the table, her face full of anger. She immediately understood what Lin Tian meant.


    Li Wan''er was only a weak girl, so she naturally couldn''t beat Li Wan Jie. After forcing Li Wan''er to go, Li Yuanjie would take over from the Li family, completely clean the Li family''s interior, and after stabilizing his position as Patriarch, he would go find Li Wan''er. Finally, he would kill the people from Black Wind Ridge, save Madam Li, and have Madam Li feel grateful to him.


    However, this plan was still ruined by Lin Tian.


    "Li Yuanjie, it seems that I have been gentle for many years. You don''t even know my mighty name ¡­" Madame Li gritted her teeth as she spoke.


    Although Madam Li was not a cultivator, her means were of the highest caliber. Otherwise, she would not have been able to hold on to the Li family for so long after the death of Li Wan''er''s father.


    Li Wan''er held Lady Li''s hand tightly, her eyes full of determination.


    At this moment, in Li Yuanjie''s study.


    Li Yuanjie sneered, "This bitch, as expected, never thought of me as a human being, nor did I ever think of making me a family head. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have colluded with Black Wind Ridge to come up with such a plan, and after Big Brother died, I showed my intentions to this woman, but I didn''t expect that this bitch would not only not accept it, but would even scold me ¡­"


    "That''s fine too. If you refuse a toast and don''t eat a forfeit, don''t blame me for ruthlessly destroying a flower!" Li Yuanjie''s heart hardened. He then instructed the person behind him, "Go and arrange it. Tonight, I want to see their corpses. No matter what method you use!"


    Yes, my lord." Behind a pillar, a figure suddenly appeared. It was more of a shadow than a person.


    The shadow passed through the wall and disappeared without a trace.

 C65

    It was a dark, moonless night, when people were killing and setting fires.


    Lin Tian, Li Wan''er and Madam Li had all fallen asleep early.


    Li Wan''er and Madame Li lived together; Lin Tian lived in another room.


    This was the place where Lady Li and the others lived, so all the servants knew about it. Of course, those servants also told the shadow about the situation inside.


    That shadow was actually a cultivator proficient in secret arts. It was Li Yuanjie''s trusted aide that he had spent a huge sum of money to buy.


    At this moment, that person''s eyes were dark. He chanted some incantation and before long, something strange happened. That person instantly turned into a shadow and rushed through the door into the room where Li Wan''er and Lady Li were.


    The room was dark, but the shadow was like a fish in water in the darkness.


    He rushed to the side of the bed in the blink of an eye. Without any hesitation, a cold glint flashed and a longsword viciously hacked at the two under the bed.


    Ah!" After two consecutive screams, the silhouette immediately revealed a faint smile and prepared to leave.


    However, at this moment, there was the sudden sound of something tearing through the air above his head.


    The shadow instantly determined that this was the sound of a blade piercing through the air.


    "Who is it!" the shadow growled.


    The long sword blocked the top of his head, blocking Lin Tian''s spear tip. At this time, the one on top of the black shadow''s head was none other than Lin Tian.


    The instant Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear was blocked, Lin Tian had already punched out.


    Great Destiny Fist, third move, Broken Stars!


    The powerful force instantly struck the black figure, causing him to groan and retreat. However, he also used the recoil to try to escape from the door.


    At that moment, the candle was suddenly lit.


    The entire room immediately lit up.


    Under the illumination of the candlelight, the trail of the black figure''s escape was extremely obvious.


    "It''s too late to run now!" Mental Energy suddenly shot out from the Heavenly God Palace. Monstrous Mental Energy enveloped the black figure in that instant.


    The black figure suddenly felt his head sink. His figure gradually began to appear. It was actually a middle-aged man.


    The man wore a grey robe and even his face was covered by a black cloth.


    "You are a Symbol Master?" The gray-robed man''s voice was hoarse, sounding extremely terrifying.


    "Explode!" Lin Tian didn''t reply to his words at all. Instead, he gave a low shout.


    Although that Great Destruction Fist hadn''t injured him, the power of that punch had remained on his body.


    At this time, Lin Tian suddenly exploded with the fist power of the Great Destiny Fist. The gray-robed person never would have thought that the fist power would instantly explode and heavily injure him.


    With Lin Tianhai''s cultivation at the third level, the power of this Great Destiny Fist was several dozen times, or even a hundred times greater than before!


    Especially the third move of the Great Fortune Fist; it was far more powerful than the first two moves.


    The person groaned and fell to the side.


    "You are actually a Symbol Master!" That person was still in disbelief. His tone was filled with disbelief.


    Lin Tian had previously heard of the existence of this martial artist with a secret technique, but he did not take it to heart.


    Secret arts referred to a branch of the Dao of Talismans. The secret techniques they trained in were all to cultivate the soul and train the mind.


    His secret arts were far too inferior.


    His secret technique was limited to transforming himself into a shadow. Those who possessed such a secret technique were naturally born assassins.


    However, when he met Lin Tian, even if he had an extremely high cultivation level, he could not use it because Lin Tian was a Symbol Master and Lin Tian had a strong Spirit power.


    The reason why that person was able to turn his body into a shadow was because of the use of his mental strength. He used his mental strength to cast a secret technique to hide his flesh and blood body.


    As a result, Lin Tian directly used his strong mental strength to break his secret technique. Only then did his body completely reveal itself.


    Not far away, Lady Li and Li Wan''er were standing there unharmed.


    When the grey-robed person saw Lady Li and Li Wan''er, his eyes were filled with disbelief. Didn''t he just kill them?


    "You only killed two maidservants. I knew Li Yuanjie would send someone to assassinate you. I also guessed that it was you. How was it? Was it a surprise?" Lin Tian coldly laughed as he looked at the gray-robed person.


    The gray-robed man''s face was ashen. He originally thought that his assassination technique was peerless in this world, but he never imagined that it would end up in the hands of this boy.


    "Die." Lin Tian did not waste any words and was about to directly kill him.


    However, this also aroused the grey-robed man''s will to resist. His body rapidly swelled up, and the surging Essence Qi around his body constantly circulated. At the same time, a light also flashed between his eyebrows, and a faint white light immediately appeared.


    "He''s going to risk his life?" Lin Tian laughed coldly, he could already tell that this person was going to go all out, his stomach was swelling up, wanting to ignite his own flesh, and the light that was coming out from between his eyebrows, was trying to hook his soul.


    "Destiny divine soul?" Lin Tian''s heart moved as waves of faint light emitted from between his eyebrows.


    He wanted to summon his life soul as well. Back then, his soul had devoured An Yuan''s life soul in order to break through to upper rank Symbol Master. Then, what level would he be able to progress to after devouring the soul of the person in front of him?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate to completely summon his soul. As soon as his soul appeared, he rushed towards the gray-robed person.


    The gray-robed person was slightly startled, but in the next moment, Lin Tian''s soul had already charged into his forehead.


    He felt his head hurt as Lin Tian''s soul had already drilled into his forehead.


    Without waiting for his soul to be summoned, a ray of light shot out from between Lin Tian''s eyebrows and wrapped around the gray-robed person''s soul.


    "How, how is this possible? You, what kind of freak are you!" The gray-robed man cried out in fear, his voice full of fear.


    His divine soul had yet to be summoned by him, but Lin Tian''s divine soul could actually directly rush into his forehead, rushing into his Divine Palace. And the reason it rushed into his Divine Palace was naturally also to devour his divine soul.


    "What are you ¡­ "Demonic arts ¡­" The person spat out these words with great difficulty before his body collapsed limply to the ground.


    His falling body immediately shriveled up like a deflated balloon.


    Not long after, a crystal clear ray of light drilled out from between the corpse''s eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, it had once again charged back into Lin Tian''s forehead.


    Lin Tian instantly felt a wave of refreshment. His soul, with the help of the Ancient Dragon Runes, had once again swallowed the gray-robed person''s life and soul.


    Without his life and soul, he would naturally die. Of course, he wouldn''t be able to self-detonate.


    This was because the power of his soul was not too different from An Yuan''s soul from before. But even so, Lin Tian could still feel that after devouring the soul of the gray-robed man, his soul became stronger, and his soul body became more and more corporeal.


    The Horned Demon had said before that the stronger the soul, the better. When the time came, even if he met a stronger Symbol Master, even if he couldn''t contend against him, but protecting himself would not be a problem.


    Li Wan''er and Madam Li were currently blankly staring at Lin Tian, their eyes filled with disbelief.


    Lin Tian was actually a Symbol Master?


    How many cards had he left unrevealed?


    Madam Li saw that the more Lin Tian looked, the more satisfied she was. She then said to her daughter: "Wan''er, you can find a lover like this. His sight is much better than your mother''s."


    "Mom ~" Li Wan''er shyly called out. Her big eyes glanced at Lin Tian as she couldn''t help but think in her heart: "If this idiot really was my fianc¨¦, then it would be great."


    "All of you wait here for a while. I''ll go meet that Li Yuanjie." Lin Tian did not bother with the gray-robed person''s corpse. Instead, he walked in front of Li Wan''er and Madam Li and said this to them.


    Madam Li nodded her head and warned him, "That Li Yuanjie is a fifth level Qi Hai warrior, you have to be careful!"


    "Yes, I will pay attention." Lin Tian nodded his head. Just as he was about to leave, Li Wan''er, who was behind him, suddenly called out to him.


    "You, you be careful." Li Wan''er looked at Lin Tian Yu with a flushed face.


    "Don''t worry!" Lin Tian slightly smiled and directly rushed out.


    "Silly girl, what should have happened between you two, why are you being shy?" Madam Li looked at Li Wan''er, whose face was completely red, and chuckled softly.


    "Aiya, Mother!" Li Wan''er held Lady Li''s arm tightly.


    "Why isn''t he back yet? This Tie Yin is becoming more and more unreliable." In Li Yuanjie''s room, Li Yuanjie muttered to himself with a frown.


    With Tie Yin''s strength, he should be able to return very soon. But now, after such a long time had passed, Tie Yin still hadn''t come back, he was a Symbol Master, and he was also proficient in a secret technique, so assassinating Li Wan''er and his sister-in-law shouldn''t be a difficult task. Even if that kid was difficult to deal with, and needed some time, it should be done by now.


    Just as Li Yuanjie was complaining in his heart, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the door.


    "You''re back?" Li Yuanjie faintly smiled, but he suddenly came to a realization. No, Tie Yin was proficient in a secret technique, so if he came back, he would directly enter his room. Moreover, he was just a shadow, so how could there be footsteps?


    Li Yuanjie immediately felt that something wasn''t right, but the footsteps were getting closer and closer.


    "Who is it!" Li Yuanjie immediately threw a punch towards the door. The overflowing Essence rushed out and instantly crushed the door into dust.


    Outside the room, a figure suddenly appeared. That person held a long spear in his hand and instantly rushed towards Li Yuanjie.


    "You sure are quite cautious, but it doesn''t matter. Take my spear first!" The person holding the Dragon Scale Spear was the person who came to look for Li Yuanjie, Lin Tian!


    "Lin Tian!" Li Yuanjie was shocked and angry at the same time. "Where''s Iron Shadow!"


    "You''re talking about the shadow of that grey robe?" Lin Tian coldly smiled: "I killed him!"

 C66

    Li Yuanjie was slightly startled, but immediately cried out in disbelief, "Impossible? With your strength, how could you kill Tie Yin? "


    "He isn''t dead, how could I still be alive and come find you?" Lin Tian didn''t say much. The might of the Dragon Scale Spear was unparalleled as he directly thrust it towards Li Yuanjie.


    The Dragon Scale Spear was currently wrapped in surging Essence Qi and was crazily attacking Li Yuanjie. The surging Essence Qi stirred the air, causing a violent explosion sound.


    Li Yuanjie''s attention immediately focused on the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand. His eyes were filled with greed: "The spear in your hand belongs to me."


    "What big words you have there. If you want this spear, you must have the strength to take it away!" Lin Tian coldly snorted as he faced Li Yuanjie''s palm and thrust his spear forward.


    "Third level of the Qi Hai realm ¡­ How dare you spout nonsense in front of me?! It seems you still don''t know the difference in strength between us ¡­" Li Yuanjie let out a cold snort. He did not dodge or retreat. Instead, he moved forward and grabbed the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear.


    Lin Tian immediately felt that on the Dragon Scale Spear, an extremely powerful force was transmitted over. The Dragon Scale Spear was immediately restrained. It was impossible for him to pull out the Dragon Scale Spear.


    "What, you still want to take back what you took out?" Li Yuanjie sneered, "Give it to me."


    He used all his strength to pull. Lin Tian Deng felt a strong force almost pull at the dragon scale spear, almost causing him to drop it.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t choose to compete with Li Yuanjie. Li Yuanjie was at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm, so even if it was purely based on hand strength, Lin Tian would still not be his match.


    Lin Tian''s left hand held the Dragon Scale Spear. On his right hand, Essence rolled. In the next moment, he condensed a huge Essence fist.


    "Great Destiny Fist, Three Styles, Broken Stars!" Lin Tian roared as he attacked.


    Boundless Essence that contained the strength of a fist instantly smashed towards Li Yuanjie.


    "You overestimate yourself!" Li Yuanjie did not hesitate at all. His Essence rolled, and he immediately sent a fist flying towards Lin Tian.


    "Bang bang!" The moment the two fists collided, Essence splashed out in all directions, shattering everything in the surroundings.


    Not only that, the recoil from the two fists also fiercely spread to the two of them. Li Yuanjie stood there without moving. Lin Tian''s punch didn''t do much damage to him.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian was pushed back by the rebound of the two fists and only after continuously taking a few steps back did Lin Tian stabilize his body.


    However, his body was much stronger than an ordinary third level Qi Hai realm existence, so Lin Tian was not injured.


    However, after being knocked back a few steps, Lin Tian was no longer able to hold onto the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. The Dragon Scale Spear was directly snatched away by Li Yuanjie.


    "Good spear!" Li Yuanjie laughed out loud. He held the dragon scale spear tightly in his hand and played with it for a while before lovingly saying, "Boy, this spear belongs to me. Of course, your life is also mine today!"


    Saying that, Li Yuanjie once again made his move. Another fist flew towards Lin Tian.


    "Let''s see if you have the ability to do so!" Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear was taken away, so he wasn''t too angry.


    Instead, he leaned forward and once again punched out with the Great Creation Fist, once again colliding with Li Yuanjie''s fist.


    The two fists met, and Lin Tian was once again forced back by Li Yuanjie''s fist. Only this time, Lin Tian only took a step back, and Li Yuanjie, on the other hand, was motionless when he and Lin Tian collided.


    "Brat, I''ve underestimated you. However, I will not give you another chance. Accept your death!" After exchanging two punches with Lin Tian, Li Yuanjie immediately felt that something was wrong. This kid was too strange. His strength was not as good as his, but in terms of combat strength, he was not too far off.


    Especially his two punches just now. They were extremely powerful and were no ordinary martial arts.


    This made Li Yuanjie curious. Just who was this kid? To have such a powerful martial art, could he be a disciple from some large family? Furthermore, Lin Tian''s strong physical body made Li Yuanjie gasp in amazement.


    However, no matter what status this kid had, no matter how powerful his backing was, since he dared to interfere in the matters of the Li family, he had to go against Li Yuanjie. Especially since this was related to Li Yuanjie''s position as the Li family''s Patriarch, no matter what, Li Yuanjie would not let this kid live on in this world.


    "Annihilation of the Thunder!" Li Yuanjie''s heart suddenly turned ruthless as he once again struck out with his palm.


    However, Li Yuanjie''s palm strike was much stronger than the previous ones.


    Endless amounts of Essence Qi instantly gushed out from Li Yuanjie''s body. However, all of the Essence Qi on Li Yuanjie''s body contained the power of exploding lightning.


    The power of thunder mixed with the endless origin energy, emitting a crackling sound in the air.


    In the next moment, an enormous lightning palm was completely condensed by Li Yuanjie.


    Lin Tian also felt that Li Yuanjie was about to kill him. Just from the might of that lightning palm, he could see that.


    But Lin Tian unexpectedly did not have the slightest fear. On the contrary, the blood in his body was boiling and his body was becoming more and more excited.


    Lin Tian was a typical strong person. His cultivation level wasn''t as high as Li Yuanjie''s, but his combat strength was on par with Li Yuanjie, who was at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    It could be imagined that Lin Tian did not have an advantage right from the start. On the contrary, in the beginning of the battle, Lin Tian was at a disadvantage because the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hands was taken away by Li Yuanjie.


    But afterwards, with every punch, Lin Tian continued to improve until he was able to clash head on with Li Yuanjie.


    Lin Tian didn''t know why this kind of situation had occurred to him, but he only knew that he urgently wanted to have a good battle with Li Yuanjie.


    The stronger Li Yuanjie was, the stronger he would be.


    The hot blood in his body surged. Facing Li Yuanjie''s thunder-like palm that could directly kill Lin Tian, Lin Tian didn''t have the slightest fear. Instead, he directly charged towards Li Yuanjie.


    Lin Tian''s speed was strangely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Li Yuanjie.


    Li Yuanjie was slightly startled. He didn''t know what Lin Tian meant, but once Lin Tian arrived in front of him, Li Yuanjie immediately realized that Lin Tian wanted to forcefully resist his "Thunder Annihilation!"


    "Since you''ve come here to seek death of your own accord, I won''t hold back." Li Yuanjie was only slightly surprised for a moment, but then he immediately reacted. Lin Tian''s goal was to use his own body to block Li Yuanjie''s attack.


    However, this Thunder Annihilation was his ultimate killing move. This level of Essence contained the power of thunder to attack. No matter how strong Lin Tian''s body was, he could only block the palm force. However, he could not block the power of thunder within the palm.


    The thunder energy that was wrapped within the palm energy was enough to kill Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not care about it at all. Monstrous Essence gathered in his hand and a fist made of Essence began to form.


    "Go to hell, boy." Li Yuanjie sinisterly roared. The strength of one palm directly struck Lin Tian''s chest.


    Lin Tian groaned as the Essence Fist in his hand roared and charged at Li Yuanjie.


    "Bang bang!" The huge lightning and palm power landed on Lin Tian''s body and actually directly shattered the clothes on Lin Tian''s chest. A black palm print also completely imprinted itself onto Lin Tian''s chest.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian''s fist also landed on Li Yuanjie''s body.


    Li Yuanjie forcefully withstood Lin Tian''s fist. He only felt his chest a little stuffy, but did not have any other reactions.


    Lin Tian''s figure flew out and weakly fell to the ground.


    The power of thunder completely exploded on Lin Tian''s body. On Lin Tian''s body, there were small wounds caused by the thunderbolts exploding everywhere and blood kept flowing out.


    Li Yuanjie looked at Lin Tian falling on the ground and was unable to get up even after a long time. The corner of his mouth revealed a vicious smile: "How is it, kid? The taste of thunder isn''t good right?"


    Lin Tian did not make a sound. He just laid on the ground without moving, as if he had fainted.


    Li Yuanjie directly picked up the dragon scale spear and then walked in front of Lin Tian: "Seeing you in such pain, I really can''t bear it anymore. Count it all up, you can also be considered my nephew. I''ll send you on your way and alleviate your pain."


    After he finished speaking, Li Yuanjie was about to stab his spear towards Lin Tian.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes. In the next moment, an endless amount of Mental Energy rushed out from his Divine Palace towards Li Yuanjie.


    Li Yuanjie felt his sea of consciousness tremble and his mind immediately became dizzy. He was stunned on the spot and it was also at this time that Lin Tian suddenly spoke again: "Explode for me!"


    In the next moment, an intense power gushed out from Li Yuanjie''s body. The explosive power of the huge power came from Li Yuanjie''s mountain.


    Ah!" Li Yuanjie immediately let out a blood-curdling screech. Before he could even react, he felt that his entire body, his internal organs, and all his other organs had been severely injured.


    His grip on the dragon scale spear loosened and it fell to the ground with a bang.


    But at the same time, in the next moment, Lin Tian picked up the Dragon Scale Spear. At the same time, another strong wave of Spirit power surged out and rushed into Li Yuanjie''s Sea of Consciousness.


    Li Yuanjie was heavily injured. At this moment, the defensive strength of his sea of consciousness had been greatly reduced.


    This wave of Spirit power fiercely came over and immediately made Li Yuanjie dizzy. At the same time, Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear was raised high.


    In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear was like a long green dragon''s roar as it pierced towards Li Yuanjie with a faint green light.


    "No!" Li Yuanjie howled in terror. However, that Dragonscale Spear had already pierced through his heart.


    "No, how can this... Perhaps, you, why ¡­ "He''ll be fine ¡­" With great difficulty, Li Yuanjie spat out these words before directly swallowing his breath.


    What Lin Tian had done was like flowing water. In one breath, it was completed without the slightest bit of sluggishness.


    At this moment, the whirlpool in his dantian began to spin rapidly. The origin energy in his body began to grow and flow through his body along his meridians.


    The palm print on his chest also quickly dissipated. The injuries that were caused by the explosion of the lightning power also quickly healed.


    In that strike just now, it seemed like Lin Tian had suffered serious injuries, but they were only superficial wounds that were not even able to harm his internal organs.


    When Li Yuanjie arrived in front of him, he had instantly released an extremely powerful mental force that affected Li Yuanjie. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Tian had detonated the hidden force on Li Yuanjie''s body, severely injuring Li Yuanjie. Afterwards, he had once again released his mental force, causing Li Yuanjie to completely lose the ability to resist, and had then stabbed Li Yuanjie with the final spear.


    All of this was planned by Lin Tian. It was impossible for Li Yuanjie to know that he was a Symbol Master, and it was also impossible for him to imagine that his physical body was far stronger than he had imagined!

 C67

    After killing Li Yuanjie, the rest was much easier to deal with. Li Yuanjie was the strongest in the entire Li family, but now that Li Yuanjie was dead, there was naturally no one who could threaten Li Wan''er and her daughter.


    Early the next morning, Madam Li announced that she had regained control of the Li family, and the news of Li Yuanjie''s death was announced to the entire Skythunder City.


    When this news came out, the entire Heavenly Thunder City went into an uproar. Almost no one knew what happened to the Lee family, so no one knew why Li Yuanjie died.


    The Li family was in a period of adjustment. The so-called adjustment period was to wash away all those who had betrayed Madame Li and those who were loyal to Li Yuanjie. Those who remained were the elders who had followed Lady Li wholeheartedly.


    The elders regained power, and the Li family quickly returned to the right track.


    Lady Li was busy all day long, and Li Wan''er was busy all day long.


    On the other hand, it was rare for Lin Tian to get some free time. Other than cultivating, Lin Tian also paid special attention to the news about Sky Dragon City.


    However, he gained nothing. Although the distance between Heavenly Thunder City and Heavenly Dragon City was not very far, the communication between the two cities was not very deep. In fact, even within Heavenly Thunder City, no one knew about Luo Lie''s death.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t mind. If there really was someone in Sky Dragon City who wanted to kill him, Xiao Yunhai would definitely first notify him.


    The Li family had returned to the control of Li Wan''er and her mother. There was no point in him staying any longer, and what he had promised Li Wan''er before was already done by him.


    In fact, after Lin Tian killed Li Yuanjie, he wanted to leave, but he was worried that Li Yuanjie would die, so the other enemies of the Lin Family would all come looking for trouble with the Li Family. However, after waiting for so many days, none of their enemies actually came knocking, so Lin Tian waited for Lady Li and Li Wan''er to settle the Li Family down, before bidding them farewell.


    At the same time, in Skythunder City, in the Skythunder King''s Residence.


    Luo Kaishan sat quietly in the main hall, leisurely sipping his tea.


    Not long after, a group of five people suddenly walked over to the main hall. The five of them were in a hurry.


    "Your Highness!" The five of them bowed in greeting.


    "What, do you have any news about what I told you to investigate?" Luo Kai Shan''s eyes were indifferent as he asked.


    "There''s a result." The leader of the group nodded and said, "We are under the orders of the prince and have five groups to investigate the situation of the Lee family. We have a rough understanding of the situation now."


    "Tell me about it." Luo Kai Shan said indifferently.


    "I''ll go first." The leader of the group said, "This subordinate is investigating what happened in the Li family three months ago. It has now been clarified."


    Three months ago, the Li family''s Guardian, who is also the only tier two alchemist in the Heavenly Thunder City, needed a batch of extremely precious herbs to refine a tier two pill. In order to thoroughly establish the status of the number one alchemist family in the Li family, the Li family had to pay a huge price to recruit a large number of mercenaries, and sent the Li family''s strongest expert, the Li family''s Patriarch, Li Yuanjie, to personally escort the Li family.


    It''s just that on the way back, Li Yuanjie and a large number of mercenary teams were robbed by a group of extremely powerful bandits, causing the mercenary group to suffer countless casualties. Li Yuanjie was also severely injured, but the medicinal materials were saved, and they were escorted all the way to a place a hundred miles away from the Black Wind Ridge.


    When the boss said this, he stopped and turned to the second person, "Second brother, tell me what you''ve found out."


    A second person stood up and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, I''m investigating the matter of Black Wind Ridge."


    When Madame Li went to welcome Li Yuanjie, she did indeed welcome him. At that time, Li Yuanjie''s injuries were already very serious, so Madam Li told Li Yuanjie to return to the Li family first, while she was in charge of bringing the medicinal ingredients back with her people. She just did not expect that when they reached the Black Wind Ridge, the people from Black Wind Ridge would suddenly make a move.


    "Interesting." Luo Kaishan faintly nodded his head, "Those brats from the Black Wind Ridge are so impressive that they even dare to rob a Lee family car!" "Go on."


    "At that time, Black Wind Ridge''s request was for the Li family to disperse all their assets and redeem Lady Li."


    "The Li Family''s Li Yuanjie was heavily injured and was unable to exterminate the bandits of Black Wind Ridge. Naturally, the Li Family was not able to use up all of its assets to exchange for a woman." That person continued, "So at that time, the entire Li family was against redeeming Madame Li."


    "Not only that, many of the Li family''s elders suddenly started to support Li Yuanjie as the Li family''s Patriarch. Lady Li''s daughter, Li Wan''er, disappeared the night before Li Yuanjie became Patriarch."


    The Second Brother hesitated and continued, "But during the few months Li Wan''er went missing, the seven leaders of Black Winds Ridge also went missing at the same time."


    "Moreover, these seven leaders have never returned after disappearing."


    "Three months later, Li Wan''er suddenly appeared out of nowhere and brought back an expert. That person killed all of the people from the Black Wind Ridge by himself and even swept away all of the treasures in the Black Wind Ridge. He even burned down the Black Wind Stronghold and brought Li Wan''er and Madam Li back to the Li family."


    As the second brother said this, his gaze turned to the third person and he said, "My prince, the information I can find regarding Black Wind Ridge is just this much. The remaining information was found by third brother."


    That Third Brother then stood up, "Reporting to Your Highness, what I am responsible for is the news of Li Yuanjie''s death."


    "The person Second Brother said burned down the Black Wind Stronghold was called Lin Tian. Li Yuanjie was killed by that person."


    "Lin Tian?" Luo Kaishan''s eyes suddenly narrowed. He seemed to have thought of something, but then he shook his head and said, "This name is very familiar, but I''m too old and I don''t remember where I''ve heard this name before. Go on."


    "According to this subordinate''s estimation, Lin Tian''s strength should be above the third level of the Qi Hai realm. After he annihilated the Black Wind Stronghold, he came to Tianlei City, but it was already late at night, they went to a restaurant in the city, and the next day, they returned to the Li family. This subordinate found out that Lin Tian had killed Li Yuanjie''s third son, Li Qingfeng.


    "And at that time, Li Yuanjie wasn''t in any other place. He was in the palace discussing important matters with the prince!"


    "No one knows exactly what happened that night, but the servants of the Li family said that it was Lin Tian who killed Li Yuanjie."


    When Old Third said this, he immediately stopped.


    Luo Kai Shan''s gaze also turned towards the fourth person among the five.


    "Subordinate investigated the current situation of the Li Family." That Fourth Bro immediately replied.


    "After Li Yuanjie''s death, his faction was completely wiped out by Madam Li and was replaced with someone whom Madam Li trusted. Madame Li has been in charge of the Li Family for many years, and she has both prestige and authority. There were no major incidents within the Li Family, but this subordinate heard another piece of news. "


    "What news?" Luo Kai Shan said indifferently.


    "This subordinate dares to ask, Your Highness, did Li Yuanjie come to visit Your Highness for the sake of his succession to the Li family''s Patriarch''s Grand Ceremony?"


    "It''s not a secret. It''s fine if I told you." Luo Kaishan didn''t hesitate in the slightest as he directly replied, "Li Yuanjie came to look for me to support his successor. For this reason, he even gave me the Li family''s best alchemist business street as a token of gratitude."


    "In that case, it''s a match." The fourth elder nodded his head and continued, "In fact, Li Yuanjie didn''t only agree to the prince, he also agreed to let the heads of the Zhang family, Liu family, the Qing Xuan Pavilion, and the Crimson Wolf Mercenaries to attend the ceremony of his succession as the clan head. He also promised them gifts ¡­"


    "Not bad, Li Yuanjie is not bad. He''s actually willing to spend such a large amount of Li family property just for the position of Patriarch. This business is not a loss." Luo Kaishan gave his evaluation and then said to the fifth person, "Xiao Wu, tell us about your rewards."


    The fifth person in the five-man team immediately stood up and said, "After a thorough investigation from my brothers, this matter is very clear."


    "For the position of Patriarch, Li Yuanjie planned such a big play, and he has never been injured. Moreover, it was he who colluded with the people from Black Wind Ridge, kidnapped his sister-in-law, forced his niece away, and even planned the ceremony for him to become the next Patriarch. However, all of this was caused by that Lin Tian, and not only did he not think of it, it is also something that we did not think of.


    "This, I''ll let you guys handle. Check this brat called Lin Tian." Luo Kai Shan gave the order.


    "Then, Your Royal Highness, what should we do next?" The boss of the team of five couldn''t help but ask.


    "Of course it''s to ally with those families and ask the Li family for an explanation ¡­" Luo Kaishan''s eyes revealed a trace of greed.


    "That''s an entire street! Li Yuanjie personally promised to give it to me. No matter who the current head of the Li family is, there''s never been a reason to take back the one that we promised to Luo Kai Shan. Of course, there''s also no reason not to admit to that."


    Luo Kaishan took a sip of his tea and then lightly said, "Get someone to contact the Zhang Family and Liu Family Patriarchs, as well as the Pavilion Master of the Clear Pavilion ¡­"


    As he said this, Luo Kaishan shook his head, "Forget about the Qing Xuan Pavilion, since they have close ties with the Li Family, they probably won''t force the Li Family too much. After the Li Family has settled down, we''ll come over to congratulate Lady Li on reclaiming control of the Li Family!"


    "Yes sir!" The five of them replied in unison before leaving in a hurry.


    Luo Kai Shan squinted and silently said: "Lin Tian, Lin Tian... This name, why is it so familiar, where exactly have I heard this name from? "

 C68

    The Li family settled down from the chaos and only used three days. Under the assistance of Lin Tian''s martial force, the Li family members who originally wanted to stir trouble and not give in to Lady Li were all obedient.


    Lin Tian had also brought up the matter of leaving with Madam Li.


    "What? You want to leave?" Lady Li frowned. "Where are you going? I know you''re from Sky Dragon City, but you and Wan''er have already become husband and wife. After a period of time, I will arrange a marriage for you. Where are you going?"


    "Madam has misunderstood me. Your daughter is still innocent. I only had a period of conflict with her." Now that the matter of the Li family had been settled, Lin Tian didn''t have to worry about telling Madame Li about it. Lady Li would definitely not accept it.


    So he told her about how he and Li Wan''er knew each other, how he agreed to help her solve the Li family''s problem, and how the two of them interacted.


    When Madame Li heard this, her eyes reddened. She tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "As a mother, I''m really not up for it. I''ve caused a child that hasn''t been wronged to suffer."


    "With the relationship between the daughter and the wife being so deep, Lin Tian is naturally also incomparably envious. However, Lin Tian still has matters to attend to and the Li family has already calmed down. I naturally don''t need to disturb them any longer." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "However, after everything that has happened, I don''t owe Lady Wan-Er anything. Lady Wan-Er has gone to the city to check up on me. I won''t wait for her to come back. Please explain it to me." Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly left.


    "Lin Tian, wait a moment." Just as Lin Tian was about to leave, Madame Li behind him suddenly called out to him.


    "Is there anything else, Madam?" Lin Tian turned around and asked in confusion.


    "You, have you gotten married yet?" Madam Li could not help but ask. She knew her daughter well, and seeing how Lin Tian and Li Wan''er were getting along, she naturally knew what her daughter was thinking. Li Wan''er already had deep feelings for Lin Tian.


    Otherwise, when the two of them were talking, Li Wan''er would blush when Lin Tian was mentioned.


    Only, Madam Li already understood Lin Tian''s words just now.


    Lin Tian simply didn''t have any feelings for his daughter. The reason he helped her and her daughter retake the Li family''s business was all because of the promise he made to Li Wan''er in the shadow of the dragon gate.


    That was why Lin Tian felt guilty for stealing the Dragon Scale Spear that Li Wan''er had found. It was also why he made this compensation.


    In other words, besides repaying the favor and making up for it, Lin Tian didn''t have any other meaning.


    First, it was because the Li Family''s current situation was uncertain, and there might even be some powerful enemies that would come knocking on their door. Lin Tian was the only expert that the Li Family could rely on right now, so Lady Li naturally wouldn''t let Lin Tian leave.


    Secondly, Wan''er, that silly girl, still didn''t know Lin Tian''s thoughts. If she came back and didn''t see Lin Tian, who knows how sad she would be.


    She had had enough of feeling wronged. Lady Li didn''t want Li Wan''er to be hurt again.


    That was why Madam Li would directly ask Lin Tian if he was married. If he wasn''t, then Madam Li could try to persuade Lin Tian to marry his own daughter.


    When Lin Tian heard Madame Li''s question, he was even more puzzled. He couldn''t help but ask: "Madam, what is the meaning of asking this?"


    Seeing that Lin Tian''s expression wasn''t right, Madam Li immediately explained: "If you''re not married, then I see that you and my Wan''er are very compatible. I''m willing to marry my daughter to you ¡­"


    "Madam, you don''t have to worry about this matter." Lin Tian immediately understood what Madam Li meant. Without any hesitation, Lin Tian directly interrupted Madam Li''s words: "I am already married and have a fiancee, so Madam need not trouble yourself with this matter."


    "Also, Madam, don''t blame me for being too talkative. I want to tell you that Lady Wan''er is your own daughter, and as a mother, shouldn''t you consider her happiness first? I''m helping the Li family, but I feel that I owe Miss Wan''er something, but now, I owe her nothing. For the power in my hands and the so-called position of the Li family head, I actually treat my daughter as an item ¡­" Lin Tian Meng immediately said somewhat angrily: "Marrying me, speaking nicely, isn''t that equivalent to giving it to me?"


    Lin Tian was indeed a bit angry. Although he had never had a father or mother since he was young, he also knew that the parents of the world would definitely care for their children.


    But now, Madame Li actually said that she wanted to marry Li Wan''er to him. In a nice way, wasn''t it actually because she wanted him, a super fighter, to stay behind and protect the Li family?


    However, Lin Tian couldn''t accept Li Wan''er being treated as an item. Wasn''t it Li Wan''er''s decision as to who Li Wan''er was going to marry? But Madam Li had directly decided Li Wan''er''s marriage, which caused Lin Tian to feel the most disgust.


    Madam Li was startled, but immediately reacted. She knew that Lin Tian had misunderstood her meaning.


    "What item is not an item? Mom, Lin Tian, what were you saying just now?" At that moment, Li Wan''er came back from outside. However, she couldn''t help but ask when she saw the two of them had strange expressions on their faces.


    However, when Li Wan''er saw the bag on Lin Tian''s back, she immediately asked Lin Tian with a dejected face: "You, you''re leaving?"


    Lady Wan''er, I felt guilty when I took away your Dragon Scale Spear, so I agreed to save your mother. Now that I have already saved your mother, I have also killed your second uncle and helped your mother take it back, so I, Lin Tian am not really sorry. If I did not have something important to do, I would be happy to stay in the Li family for a few more days. Lin Tian indifferently explained to Li Wan''er.


    Li Wan''er nodded her head. He had stayed in the Sky Dragon Academy for a period of time and more or less knew what had happened in the Sky Dragon City. Thus, she understood all that Lin Tian had said.


    I naturally understand that even if you had taken away the Dragonscale Spear back then, the Dragonscale Spear would have been taken away by someone else. Even after you took it away, you actually helped my mother and I with such a huge matter. Li Wan''er''s face turned pale.


    Lin Tian didn''t seem to notice Li Wan''er''s change. He didn''t say anything more and turned to leave.


    However, Li Wan''er stopped him again. "Will you stay here for another day?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, he turned his head and asked: "Why?"


    Oh, don''t misunderstand, I have no other intentions. I mean, the annual Qing Xuan Pavilion Auction will be held tomorrow, and every year''s auction will be held with all kinds of cultivation techniques, secret manuals, martial arts, elixirs, treasures, and even some rare treasures. If you are not so anxious to return to Sky Dragon City, you can go and take a look. Li Wan''er saw that Lin Tian''s expression was strange and immediately explained.


    "Auction?" Lin Tian was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to refuse, there was a sudden throb from the Divine Manor.


    "Brat, let''s go and have a look. Perhaps, we will be able to find some good things. It is very likely that we will encounter some pretty good things in the auction. I just wonder how the so-called Clear Pavilion Auction House is like ¡­" Hornless advised.


    Lin Tian immediately gave up on the idea of refusing. Right now, he was not in a hurry to return. Since there was an auction, he could go and take a look.


    He knew that this was an extremely large merchant guild in the Tian Luo Kingdom and there was practically nothing that one could not buy within the pavilion. Regardless of whether it was pills, magic treasures, elixirs, elixirs, immortal herbs, martial arts manuals, or all kinds of rare treasures, everything was within reach.


    There were branches in all the large cities in the Qing Xuan Hall, but not in the Sky Dragon City. Because the Sky Dragon City was too small, it was too remote. Cultivators were generally not strong, and the culture of martial cultivation was not too good either.


    However, the Sky Thunder City was different. The Sky Thunder City was a martial arts city with a large number of cultivators. Thus, it was not surprising that the Clear Pavilion had branches here.


    I believe that you know the Clear Pavilion, so I won''t say too much. However, our Li Family is in the medicinal pill business, so we have a lot of interactions with the Clear Pavilion, especially the auction. Our Li Family has a fixed VIP position, and we even have the right to buy and enjoy preferential prices. At this moment, Madame Li also spoke.


    "There is no need to trouble Madam. I do have some property on me. However, I do wish to take a look at this auction. I shall stay here for another day ¡­" Lin Tian tactfully rejected Lady Li''s good intentions. He had looted all the valuables in Black Wind Stronghold, so he did not need to worry about the issue of money.


    "Tomorrow afternoon, the auction will officially begin. Wan-Er will take you there." Lady Li said again.


    This time Lin Tian did not refuse. He naturally knew that in this level of auction, if there was no familiar person to lead, the possibility of being cheated was very high. With the Li family''s help, it was naturally the best.


    Lin Tian did not stay any longer and directly returned to his room, leaving only Li Wan''er and Lady Li in the lobby.


    "Mom, what were you talking about just now?" Li Wan''er couldn''t help but ask: "Do you know that Lin Tian and I ¡­ ¡­"


    "Silly girl, you''ve suffered greatly these past few days." Madame Li''s eyes reddened, and she couldn''t help but hug Li Wan''er.


    "Mom, you know everything." Li Wan''er''s eyes turned red.


    "Wan''er, tell mom, don''t you like this Lin Tian?" Madame Li asked sternly.


    "Mother, why did you suddenly ask about this ¡­" Li Wan''er blushed and couldn''t help but to say coquettishly.


    "Silly girl." Madam Li sighed and recounted the conversation between Lin Tian and her to Li Wan''er.


    Li Wan''er froze for a moment before she said, "I know, he has a fiancee."


    As she said that, Li Wan''er remembered the girl she saw in the shadow of the dragon gate.


    Perhaps only that kind of woman could be worthy of him.


    "Wan Er, forget him. I can tell that this child is not someone from the pond. You ¡­" Lady Li did not continue.


    Li Wan''er was already sobbing. "Mother ¡­"


    She called out to Madame Li in grievance, but no words came out of her mouth.


    Lady Li hugged Li Wan''er tightly and sighed deeply. The most painful thing in the world was to have one''s heart fall into a trap while being merciless ¡­

    Qing Xuan Pavilion was Tian Luo Kingdom''s biggest private company. It was completely different from Tian Luo Country''s official company, the Tian Luo Merchant Union.


    However, because it was privately owned, the Clear Pavilion was welcomed by all the martial cultivators in the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Because the Clear Xuan Pavilion could get better things, things that the Luo Merchant Union would not have for many days.


    Therefore, when the entire Skythunder City held an auction in the Clear Pavilion, it was extremely chaotic.


    The appetizer before the auction was the trade fair.


    The Clear Pavilion was located in the middle of the Sky Thunder City and it was an extremely tall building. Due to the trade fair, the atmosphere in the entire Sky Thunder City had become unusually lively.


    Accompanied by Li Wan''er, Lin Tian went to the trade center to look around. Unfortunately, there wasn''t anything that could attract Lin Tian''s attention.


    If one were to say what was missing from Lin Tian right now, the only thing he lacked was martial arts. It was a very powerful martial art.


    Weapons. The Dragon Scale Spear in his hand was an extremely powerful godly weapon. Medicinal pills, even more so, Lin Tian didn''t need them. With the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence in his body, these were things that were far more powerful than any pills.


    As for the other things, Lin Tian was not too interested in them. He needed two things, one was a martial art with strong attack power, the other was the Great Destiny Fist, although it was strong, but with Lin Tian''s strength increasing, it was already very difficult to achieve a one hit kill effect.


    The other was a Secret Spirit Power Skill, which was also a Talisman Skill. Currently, Lin Tian was already a high-level Talisman Master. However, he still hadn''t learned any Talisman Skills.


    Only when he had a Talisman Skill would his formidable Spiritual Force be of use. Otherwise, no matter how strong his Spiritual Force was right now, he wouldn''t be able to bring it to bear.


    Because he did not have a talisman skill, he could not attack. So, when Lin Tian fought before, his strong Spirit power could only affect others, but he could not kill them with just Spirit power.


    Once he had a talisman skill, it would immediately be different. This was because talisman skills could kill people. Talisman skills could transform Spirit power into attacking techniques. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful techniques.


    Once he had a Symbol Technique, Lin Tian would not need to spend so much effort to face off against an expert like Li Yuanjie.


    So right now, what Lin Tian needed the most was martial arts and talisman skills.


    However, because there weren''t many good items in the trade fair, Lin Tian was a bit absent-minded.


    Even if there was good stuff, Lin Tian didn''t really need it. The key thing was still to look at the items sold in the auction.


    However, her dress was that of a maid''s. The maid stopped in front of Lin Tian and Li Wan''er, and then said to Li Wan''er: "Miss Wan''er, Master Ma is free now, please come in with this Young Noble. Before the auction, we have a small trade fair, and I hope the two of you will be satisfied with this trade fair."


    "Small scale trading fair?" Lin Tian was stunned as he looked at Li Wan''er.


    Li Wan''er faintly smiled and didn''t reply. She directly pulled Lin Tian and followed the maid.


    On the way, Li Wan''er turned to Lin Tian Yu and said, "This maid is Grandmaster Ma''s personal maid. Don''t underestimate her. She is Grandmaster Ma''s disciple."


    "Right, Master Ma is the manager of the Clear Pavilion." Li Wan''er explained to Lin Tian: "Clear Pavilion has a lot of business dealings with our Li Family, especially the pill business. Because of this, our Li Family has a VIP status in this Clear Pavilion."


    The small scale trade fair that Malan Er mentioned just now was actually the prelude to the auction. Of course, it is also something that the auction cannot easily sell, so that''s why I took it out to trade. However, this kind of trade fair cannot be traded with money. Li Wan''er explained in detail to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. At this time, the two had already arrived at the top floor of the Clear Pavilion.


    This was where the Clear Pavilion''s Master Ma resided, and also where the entire Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was restricted. Ordinary people couldn''t come here, and Lin Tian could also feel that in some places that normal people couldn''t see, there were experts guarding. These kind of experts should be at least in the Aurous Core stage.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to use his Spirit power to check for too long. He only used his Spirit power to check for a little bit before withdrawing his own.


    "Miss Wan''Er, Master Ma is inside, so Lan''er won''t go in." At this moment, Ma Lan''er suddenly turned around and smiled to Li Wan''er and Lin Tian Yan.


    "Thank you elder sister Lan, we are going in. We will come back later to find you." Li Wan''er also smiled and then pulled Lin Tian into the pavilion.


    As soon as Lin Tian entered, he immediately realized that this was a different world.


    In the middle of the pavilion, there was a huge hall. If Lin Tian wasn''t mistaken, that hall was used as a small trading fair for a while.


    In front of the attic, there was a separate room. Li Wan''er pointed at that room and said, "This is Master Ma''s room. Let''s go in to see Master Ma."


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    Just now, Li Wan''er had briefly introduced him to this so-called Master Ma. He was the head of the Clear Pavilion and was in charge of the entire Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets'' business.


    The Clear Pavilion mainly dealt in magical equipment, spirit weapons, and even other rare treasures. They also dealt in medicinal pills and other things. However, they worked with the Li Family more.


    Thus, if one wanted to be the head of the Clear Pavilion, one had to be proficient in all of this.


    It required extraordinary judgement to determine the authenticity of the treasure, as well as to set its price.


    It could be said that for him to be able to claim the title of a city lord in the Clear Pavilion was sufficient for him to be addressed as a ''master''.


    Master Ma''s reputation in the Heavenly Thunder City was extremely good, because he had stayed in the Heavenly Thunder City for dozens of years, and he had handled tens of thousands of treasures. However, Master Ma had given a reasonable price for each of the treasures, trying his best to satisfy both parties.


    Because of this, after staying in the Heavenly Thunder City for so many years, Master Ma had attracted adventurers and even mercenary groups. As long as they had treasures in their hands, they would come to the Clear Pavilion to trade.


    This was also the reason why the Qing Xuan Pavilion''s business had been flourishing for so many years.


    Before Lin Tian didn''t see Master Ma, he had thought that Master Ma was an extremely respected and respected old mister.


    But he didn''t expect that the moment he entered the room, Lin Tian would see an extremely old and small old man.


    Master Ma seemed to be appraising some treasure and didn''t notice the two''s arrival at all.


    After a while, Li Wan''er couldn''t help but ask softly, "Grandpa Ma, what are you doing?"


    "Who is it!" This sudden sound gave Master Ma a fright. The item in his hand fell to the ground with a "pa da" sound.


    "Wan-Er, you are back!" Master Ma raised his head and was about to scold her, but the anger on his face vanished when he saw Li Wan''er.


    When he saw Li Wan''er, he immediately smiled and said to her.


    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, Grandpa Ma, I didn''t do it on purpose." Li Wan''er was startled and quickly went to pick up the thing on the ground.


    Master Ma pulled her back. "It''s alright, it''s fine. My little Wan''er is back. Come and let grandpa see you quickly. I have not seen you for so many days, this really makes grandpa miss you ¡­"


    Master Ma had an amiable expression on his face, not caring in the slightest about the thing that dropped on the ground.


    Lin Tian looked over strangely. What had fallen onto the ground was actually a box made of some unknown material.


    At this moment, the box had shattered into pieces and a faint purple light could be seen from within.


    Lin Tian was even more surprised. He quietly used his Spirit power and wanted to investigate to the end.


    But just as he used his Spirit power, Master Ma''s face immediately changed. He stared at Lin Tian and then shouted in disbelief: "Symbol Master!" "Kid, you are actually a Symbol Master!"


    "Ah!" Master Ma cried out in surprise, causing Lin Tian to immediately retract the thought of investigating. To search someone''s territory or things in someone else''s territory seemed a bit too impolite. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian immediately retracted his Spiritual Energy.


    Lin Tian slightly bowed: "Junior greets Master Ma."


    "Wan-Er, is this guy your friend?" Master Ma waved his hand, signaling Lin Tian that there was no need to be polite, then turned his head to Li Wan''er and asked.


    "En, Grandpa Ma, this is my friend Lin Tian." Li Wan''er introduced.


    "Lin Tian?" Master Ma frowned and pondered for a moment, "This name is unfamiliar, it shouldn''t be someone from the Heavenly Thunder City right?"


    "He''s from the Sky Dragon City next door." Li Wan''er continued, "He owed a debt of gratitude to my Li family, so I took advantage of the auction to bring him here."


    "Oh, from Sky Dragon City." Master Ma gave an indifferent "oh" but didn''t ask any more questions. Instead, he asked about the recent changes in the Li family.


    Master Ma had also heard of the news, but for a merchant guild like the Clear Xuan Pavilion that wanted to establish a foothold in every city, it would normally be a neutral force that never participated in any specific city affairs. Thus, even if Master Ma knew about the incident in the Li family, he still could not interfere.


    But that didn''t mean he didn''t care.


    Li Wan''er explained the Li family''s incident simply, causing Master Ma to sigh. "Little girl, don''t blame your grandfather for not interfering. Your grandfather really has no way to interfere!"


    "It''s okay, Mom and I understand. Grandpa Ma, don''t blame yourself." Li Wan''er replied obediently.


    "However, your scoundrel second uncle came by earlier and said that he would hold some ceremony to become the next head of the family. He wanted me to go and support him." Master Ma continued, "But don''t worry, lass. I will directly chase him away."


    "Grandpa Ma is the best." Li Wan''er lightly shook Master Ma''s sleeves and then said, "Oh right, Grandpa Ma, I came here to find some powerful martial arts or Talisman Skills because of friends. I wonder if there will be any in this auction?"


    After a circle, Li Wan''er finally got back to the main topic.


    Of course, Lin Tian could also tell that Master Ma liked Li Wan''er very much, just like his own granddaughter. This was something Lin Tian had never thought of, but with this relationship, of course it would be better.

    "Talisman skill?" Master Ma suddenly let out a cold snort. After which, he turned his head towards Lin Tian and asked, "What grade have you reached that you dare to practice Symbol Techniques?"


    Lin Tian slightly froze, but then immediately reacted. So it turned out that Master Ma was suspicious of Lin Tian''s mental strength.


    Symbol Masters were also divided into grades.


    The first Symbol Master, who had just stepped into the Symbol Dao, was known as an Inferior Grade Symbol Master. His Mental Energy had greatly increased and his strength had also greatly increased. Only then could he be considered a Middle Grade Symbol Master and above that, a Superior Grade Symbol Master.


    For example, the two charm magicians that Lin Tian had met. One was An Yuan and the other was Tie Yin. They were both proficient in Shadow Arcane Arts and were only existences that had just stepped into the intermediate tier.


    As for Lin Tian, due to his already extremely strong Mental Energy, coupled with the fact that he had swallowed the two people''s spirit and soul, his current Mental Energy had already reached the cultivation of a high-grade Symbol Master.


    When Lin Tian examined the object on the ground earlier, he had used a small part of his mental power. Thus, after Master Ma detected Lin Tian, he felt that Lin Tian had only just stepped into the realm of Symbol Masters, so he didn''t ask too much just now.


    But now that Lin Tian mentioned Symbol Techniques, then naturally, Master Ma had to say a few more words.


    This was because an Inferior Grade Symbol Master who had just stepped into the Symbol Master Stage was not adept at cultivating Symbol Techniques due to his lack of control over Mental Energy. If he were to forcefully cultivate Symbol Techniques, he would instead suffer a backlash.


    This was the reason why Teacher Ma''s attitude changed so much.


    Li Wan''er jumped in fright, then said coquettishly, "Grandpa Ma, he''s my friend, why are you being so fierce?"


    He bitterly smiled as he explained, "Girl, it''s not that Grandpa doesn''t want to give you face, it''s just that this kid doesn''t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. His mental strength has just reached the level of an Inferior Grade Symbol Master and he still dares to say that he wants to cultivate ¡­"


    Before Grandmaster Ma could finish his words, a surging wave of Mental Energy instantly swept towards Grandmaster Ma from within Lin TianAo''s manor. The monstrous Mental Energy instantly enveloped the entire room.


    Master Ma turned around with an incredulous expression. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times before swallowing his saliva with difficulty. He said, "Upper ¡­" "Superior Grade ¡­"


    It''s a high-rank Symbol Master! He''s actually a high-rank Symbol Master! However, even if he''s a high-rank Symbol Master, how could he possess such formidable Mental Energy? That''s impossible! Could it be a Soul Symbol Master?" This was even more impossible! "In the entire Azure Province, no, in the entire Tian Luo Kingdom, the number of spirit runemasters can be counted on one hand. This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Master Ma immediately became excited, even his speech became incoherent.


    Li Wan''er was slightly startled. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Tian spoke up: "Master Ma, I am not a spirit runemaster. I am only a high-ranked one!"


    "High-grade, it''s really high-grade!" Master Ma''s face was full of excitement, "It has been so many years, but this is the first time I''ve encountered such a young, high-grade Symbol Master!"


    Lin Tian only smiled and then indifferently withdrew his Spiritual Force.


    "Master Ma, with my current strength, can I cultivate Symbol Techniques?" Lin Tian asked Master Ma with a smile on his face.


    "What master? My name is Ma Feng. From now on, you can just call me Brother Feng. With your current strength, don''t call me junior. I''m also a high-grade Symbol Master. We have the same generation!" Master Ma couldn''t help but correct her.


    "Brother Feng?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth twitched, this Master Ma actually thought of something that came out. Looking at his age, it was enough for Master Ma to be his grandfather, but Lin Tian called him Brother Feng?


    This...


    However, Lin Tian could also understand. After all, Symbol Masters were too rare. Those who became high-grade Symbol Masters were even rarer.


    There was not a single Symbol Master in the entire Sky Dragon City, so there shouldn''t be that many in the Sky Thunder City.


    Moreover, Lin Tian''s cultivation was similar to Master Ma''s on the rune dao, so Master Ma naturally didn''t dare to put on airs in front of Lin Tian.


    "That''s right." Ma Feng laughed and then asked: "Little brother Lin Tian Xian, I wonder who your master is?"


    "Teacher?" Initially, when he had battled An Yuan, An Yuan had asked this question first. Talisman masters were scarce, so naturally, he valued them more, because in the Tian Luo Kingdom, there was a Symbol Master Guild that had a large number of talisman masters gathered inside.


    There were many disciples under the elite Symbol Masters, and there were even more disciples below the disciples. Therefore, many Symbol Masters were intertwined with each other, therefore, Symbol Masters would not easily fight each other. Even if they did fight, they would ask their teachers to avoid accidentally injuring their own people.


    But the awkward part was that Lin Tian didn''t have a master. He cultivated the secret technique of the Dragon clan, so he opened the Dragon clan''s Divine Manor. According to the legends, the Ancestral Dragon had created the Dao of Talismans.


    What he received was also the inheritance of the dragon race. In other words, he could be considered the disciple of the Symbol Master.


    In other words, Lin Tian was the Martial Ancestor of all the people on the Sky Dragon Continent who cultivated the rune dao!


    No one dared to be a human Symbol Master, so Ma Feng suddenly asked for a master, but Lin Tian didn''t know how to reply.


    After hesitating for a bit, Lin Tian still replied: "My master travels the four seas, and seeing that my talent is not bad, he accepted me as his last disciple. But he told me not to tell anyone else of my master''s name, so, Brother Feng, please forgive me!"


    When Lin Tian called Brother Feng, he felt very strange. Li Wan''er called him grandpa, but Lin Tian called him Brother Feng. Then what should Li Wan''er call Lin Tian ¡­


    Li Wan''er pouted as well. She wasn''t too happy about it. The man who almost became her fianc¨¦ had suddenly grown two generations older ¡­


    After hearing Lin Tian''s explanation, Ma Feng was not surprised. Some of the top ranked Symbol Masters were rarely seen, so what Lin Tian said was believable, because today, he had already reached the realm of a high rank Symbol Master. His master should also be a great Symbol Master that he could not meet.


    After knowing that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, Ma Feng became a lot more friendly, but Ma Feng still explained with incomparable regret: "Little brother Lin Tian Xian, in this auction, martial arts were indeed available, but Symbol Techniques, in such a small place, it''s impossible ¡­."


    "I guessed it." Lin Tian was not too disappointed. If Symbol Techniques were so easy to obtain, Symbol Masters were not so rare.


    "Although I have a Talisman Skill, it was passed down to me by my master and cannot be passed on to others. So, little brother Lin Tian Xian, Brother Feng, I must apologize to you." Ma Feng said apologetically.


    "No worries, I naturally understand. However, it''s fine if you have a martial art." Lin Tian nodded his head and understood.


    "Martial arts, you can rest assured. As long as you like it, I will directly bid for it and gift it to you. After all, I have just accepted you as my younger brother, so naturally, I will give you a greeting gift." Ma Feng had a warm smile on his face.


    "If that''s the case, then I must first thank Brother Feng." Lin Tian thanked him. He did not expect that just by revealing his strength in front of Ma Feng, he would be able to obtain such benefits.


    "It''s fine, it''s fine." Only now did Ma Feng pick up the item that dropped on the ground.


    Only now did Lin Tian clearly see that the item was already a wooden box.


    "Oh, so there was a secret layer. I was wondering why I couldn''t find the secret inside. To think that by falling down, I would be able to solve such a secret." Ma Feng smiled and picked up the wooden box.


    The wooden box was originally sealed and could not be opened. However, after breaking into pieces, one could see that the interior of the wooden box was actually covered by a shining purple jade.


    "It''s a gem that can nourish the soul. Come, little girl Wan''er, I''ll give it to you as a gift. You scared grandpa just now, and grandpa can''t open this secret now. It seems like this gem is fated to be with you ¡­"


    Li Wan''er didn''t refuse. She accepted the gem with a smile, then said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Grandpa Ma ¡­"


    When she called him Grandpa Ma, Li Wan''er didn''t feel anything was wrong, but now, for some reason, she felt uncomfortable.


    It was at this moment, outside of the room, in the lobby of the pavilion, a commotion suddenly broke out.


    Ma Feng immediately smiled at Lin Tian and said: "Junior Lin Tian Xian, the small scale trade fair is about to begin, for brother''s sake go and entertain the sellers and buyers, and for brother''s sake prepare for the auction later, I will not accompany you, just follow the Wan''er girl around to see, if you see anything, just do it for brother."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and couldn''t help but feel some joy in his heart. He didn''t think that the treatment for Symbol Masters would be so good. He didn''t pay anything and only displayed his cultivation as a Superior Grade Symbol Master to bring him such benefits.


    Ma Feng nodded and left.


    Only Li Wan''er and Lin Tian remained.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but tease: "Little girl Wan''Er, take me to see this trade fair."


    "Don''t call me lass!" Li Wan''er waved her fist at Lin Tian and warned him.


    "Alright, little girl."


    "Lin Tian, you!"


    Li Wan''er hadn''t finished speaking when Lin Tian walked out. Li Wan''er snorted, but still followed closely behind Lin Tian.


    After exiting the room, the pavilion became lively all of a sudden.


    Just now when Lin Tian and Li Wan''er came up, the hall was still empty, but now, in the large hall, it was already noisy with people, buyers and sellers everywhere.


    Many buyers shuttled back and forth among the vendors, stopping from time to time to carefully look at the items placed in front of the vendors'' stalls.


    Ma Feng was standing not too far away from them, interacting with them. However, the strength of these people were all above the Aurous Core stage.


    There were almost no Qi Disciple stage buyers or sellers here. All of them were Qi Hai warriors or above.


    "Perhaps, I''ll be able to reap some rewards from this trade fair." In terms of strength alone, the specifications here were much higher than the ones in the trade fair downstairs.

 C71

    Lin Tian directly walked in front of the stall owner and began to carefully search for what he wanted.


    Unfortunately, although most people''s stalls were much rarer and rarer than the ones at the previous trade fair, there was not much that could enter Lin Tian Fa''s eyes.


    However, he also saw a few incomplete martial arts, but their grade were not high. Their might was not even comparable to his Great Manifestation Fist.


    As a result, Lin Tian began to lose interest.


    Li Wan''er had been following behind Lin Tian the entire time. Now that she saw Lin Tian''s expression, she knew that most of the things on the stall weren''t worth looking at.


    She said to Lin Tian in a low voice, "It doesn''t matter. We can''t find what you''re looking for here, and the auction, the Qing Xuan Pavilion''s auction, only once a year. All of the things that can be auctioned are things that have been carefully selected by grandmaster Ma."


    Lin Tian nodded his head, but there was some disapproval in his heart. In the two consecutive trade fairs, Lin Tian was unable to obtain what he wanted, so he did not have much hope for the auction.


    As the two were strolling, Lin Tian suddenly felt his soul in the Divine Manor throb.


    More accurately speaking, the archaic dragon symbol between his soul and spirit throbbed.


    "What is it?" Lin Tian was secretly shocked. It was the first time that Lin Tian had encountered something that could trigger the ancient dragon talisman.


    He followed the throbbing sensation in his body and stopped in front of a half-naked man.


    Lin Tian stopped in front of the big man''s stall and squatted down. He began to carefully search the items on the stall.


    There were almost nothing else on the stall, and they were all extremely strange little things.


    There were broken bone fragments, broken beads, and even pieces of wood. There were even broken weapons and armor.


    Almost everything was complete.


    Lin Tian touched everything over, but he didn''t find the feeling of using the Ancient Dragon Symbol again.


    Currently, Lin Tian''s Divine Palace was completely dead silent. The feeling just now had strangely disappeared.


    How could this be?


    Lin Tian then raised his head and sized up the big man who was setting up the stall. This big man was half naked and had a fiendish look on his face, and the key point was that he had an extremely bad smell. It was the smell of someone entering and leaving the ancient tomb.


    "An explorer?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask as he looked at the big man''s clothes.


    Explorers were people who risked their life to trade for wealth. Wealth came from danger, and on Sky Dragon Continent, countless strong warriors were born. However, most of those strong warriors were already dead.


    However, the treasures they left behind were still there.


    Thus, the industry of explorer was born.


    Even though they were explorers, they were actually tombs robbers. Many of them were exceptionally strong, specifically searching for the tombs of martial cultivators or treasures left behind by ancient supreme elders.


    If these people were to discover a supreme expert''s treasure or a top tier martial cultivator''s tomb and obtain the treasure within, their strength would quickly increase.


    Moreover, some of the treasures could be auctioned off or sold directly to merchant companies like the Clear Xuan Pavilion and the Tian Luo Merchant Union.


    Therefore, any explorer, especially those with good luck, would not only become stronger, but also become richer.


    On the Sky Dragon Continent, many of the top clans and powers have relied on this path to develop.


    However, the explorer in front of him right now did not look like an explorer at all.


    His strength was not bad, around the 4th level of the Qi Sea. It was even a bit stronger than Lin Tian''s strength.


    But no matter how you looked at it, he looked extremely shabby, not like any other explorer who was wealthy. Moreover, he wasn''t like the other explorers, where everything was placed in perfect condition.


    The items placed on top of his booth were obviously freshly dug out from the tomb, but they were only fragments.


    "I am an explorer, yes. It''s just that I just did this job, I don''t really understand the rules yet ¡­" The big man had a ferocious expression, but his words were unusually simple and honest.


    Lin Tian stared blankly, then asked: "I just turned into an explorer, what did you do before?"


    "Before, I was a mercenary, the leader of the Thunder Leopard Mercenaries in the Heavenly Thunder City, but because I was greedy and accepted a mission that I could not complete, causing all my brothers to be damaged, I had no choice but to become an explorer. This is something that I obtained from my first exploration." The big guy explained and said, "My name is Lei Bao, you can pick whatever you like. However, the prices of my things aren''t low. After all, I have to feed a lot of my brothers'' families and children ¡­"


    Mercenaries and explorers were different. Mercenaries did physical work, and they also conducted rich and wealthy businesses. However, the mercenary''s strength wasn''t too high, and the mercenary''s original request was to earn money, not to increase his own strength.


    The first goal of an explorer was to increase their own strength by excavating the treasures of a martial cultivator''s tomb to obtain the treasures within, and to increase their own strength.


    Explorers did not do this purely for wealth, money, or simply for the sake of convenience.


    Thus, when Lin Tian heard Lei Bao''s story, he immediately understood.


    "Let me see it again." Lin Tian didn''t immediately ask for something.


    This was because at this time, his Divine Palace no longer throbbed in the slightest. The feeling just now had completely disappeared.


    However, Lin Tian also didn''t understand what was going on.


    He shook his head and was at a loss, "Did I sense wrongly?"


    He tried taking two steps forward, but the Divine Manor was still unmoving. After Lin Tian left the range of Lei Bao''s stall, the throbbing sensation from the Divine Manor once again came over.


    Lin Tian was surprised. He could not help but communicate with the main character in his Divine Palace to ask him what was going on.


    "I can''t sense anything that the Archaic Dragon Talisman can sense. After all, the Archaic Dragon Talisman is the Ancestral Dragon''s spirit talisman, so naturally, I can''t sense it." Actually, when you were in front of the booth just now, I used the power of my soul to investigate it. But, it is a pity, I wasn''t able to find anything ¡­ " Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "This is strange. Just now, when I was in front of the stall, why did that throbbing sensation suddenly disappear?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with confusion as he returned to Lei Bao''s stall.


    Once again, he gently caressed the tattered clothes on Lei Bao''s booth.


    His Divine Palace once again stopped throbbing, as if nothing had happened just now.


    Lin Tian was puzzled. Li Wan''er, who was looking at Lin Tian''s expression behind him, was also somewhat puzzled. Lin Tian Yun was lost in thought and didn''t know what he was doing.


    Lin Tian calmed his heart this time and once again looked around at everything on the stall in front of him.


    Broken beads, half crippled pieces of wood, pieces of demon beast bone, and even some broken hilt of a weapon. There were even some other things, without exception, Lin Tian had rubbed them all over the place, but his own Divine Manor did not have the slightest reaction!


    Just as Lin Tian was disappointed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of the booth. It was a damp wooden box that even had a rotten smell.


    "Could it be that box?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but he didn''t directly take the box. Instead, he took a light red broken bead into his hand.


    "How much is this thing?" Lin Tian asked.


    "Ten gold coins." Lei Bao said in embarrassment.


    "10 gold coins!" Lin Tian looked at Lei Bao in disbelief. No wonder no one came to Lei Bao''s stall. This broken bead had no value at all, yet it dared to ask for 10 gold coins!


    It had to be known that 10 gold coins was enough for a normal family to spend for a year. When Uncle Yu and Lin Tian were living in Sky Dragon City, they only had a little more than 10 gold coins a year.


    But now, this broken bead actually dared to ask for ten gold coins.


    "This isn''t how a scam works." Li Wan''er shouted in anger, "I''m going to find Master Ma and chase this scumbag out!"


    "Little brother, little girl, give me a chance to live. Our mercenary group only has me left, we are all dead, but our wives and children, the elderly are all here, I alone have to take care of everyone, and I would not take the risk to become an adventurer if I did not force myself onto a path of no return ¡­" When Lei Bao heard that Li Wan''er wanted to go find Master Ma, he was shocked and hurriedly explained.


    Seeing that Li Wan''er''s anger hadn''t subsided, Lei Bao continued, "I know that my junk isn''t worth much, but I need money, otherwise so many people would starve. How about this, this bead, since little brother has taken a fancy to it, I''ll give it to you. Don''t look for Master Ma, okay?"


    Lin Tian held onto Li Wan''er and then smiled: "Your bead really isn''t worth 10 gold coins. How about this, I will pay you 10 gold coins, but I''ll pick another thing to take away, is that okay?"


    Lin Tian really didn''t think that Lei Bao would actually still be so loyal, which made him want to give him a hand. Moreover, Lei Bao''s cultivation wasn''t weak, so Lin Tian also had intentions of interacting with him.


    Lei Bao knew that Lin Tian was purposely helping him. He smiled brightly: "Little brother, what do you like, just take it. Don''t even mention giving one to me, I''ll just give it all to you."


    Lin Tian unintentionally swept his gaze a few times before his gaze finally fell onto the wooden box. He directly picked up the wooden box and said: "One bead, if it''s missing a box to store the beads, then give this box to me."


    "Good, good, good." When he dug out this box from the tomb, he almost threw it away. But after thinking about it, after all, it was dug out from the tomb, so he decided to try and take it back, just in case someone wanted to take it.


    However, even though there was nothing inside the box, there was still a putrid smell coming from it. Lei Bao casually threw it to the side as he set up his stall.


    Lin Tian grabbed the box.


    A sudden change occurred within his Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian felt his mouth go dry: "That''s right, this is precisely the box, it actually caused the Primordial Dragon Symbol to react. This box looks ordinary, but I''m sure that there are still secrets hidden inside."


    Lin Tian''s heart was greatly moved, but his face did not have the slightest reaction.


    He took out a hundred gold coins from his storage ring and tossed it to Lei Bao.


    "I''ve already taken all of these items. A hundred gold coins should be sufficient." Lin Tian did not have any attachment to money, after the looting of the Black Wind Stronghold, the treasures, money, and other things that had been stored in the Black Wind Stronghold for many years were all taken away by Lin Tian. However, there weren''t any special treasures, but the amount of money was quite a bit, with a total of a thousand gold coins.


    "This ¡­" Lei Bao''s face immediately changed. He didn''t know what Lin Tian meant.


    "Not bad, you''re a friend." Lin Tian slightly smiled as he spoke to Lei Bao.


    Since he knew that this box was dug out by Lei Bao, then Lin Tian couldn''t let go of this opportunity. To be able to trigger the Ancient Dragon Rune, it must have been something extraordinary, and Lei Bao dug out this box from some tomb. Then, Lin Tian definitely wouldn''t let go of that cave abode.

 C72

    After Lei Bao heard Lin Tian''s words, he suddenly understood Lin Tian''s meaning. Lin Tian was trying to win him over.


    Although his face was rough, his heart was as fine as silk. Thinking about it a little, he understood Lin Tian''s intentions.


    However, he did not think about the wooden box in Lin Tian''s hands. Instead, he thought that perhaps because of his own strength, Lin Tian had the heart to rope him in. Lin Tian had used the hundred gold coins to buy Lin Tian''s good impression and then had made him wholeheartedly pledge his loyalty to Lin Tian.


    When he thought of this, Lei Bao suddenly hesitated. He had no idea what he was thinking.


    This was the first time he had been an explorer, but after exploring the nameless ancient tomb, he had almost died inside. Therefore, in his heart, he actually didn''t want to be an explorer, but as a mercenary, he wasn''t willing to be below others, so right now he was in a dilemma. But now, Lin Tian had given him another choice.


    To be loyal, or not to be loyal?


    Many thoughts flashed across Lei Bao''s mind, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and faced Lin Tian, who was about to leave: "Little brother, no, this young master, I, Lei Bao, am willing to be loyal to you and gamble on the reputation of my life. I swear on my life that I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life!"


    Lei Bao''s eyes were filled with determination as he half-knelt down in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly froze. He didn''t think that his actions just now would cause Lei Bao to think that he wanted Lei Bao to swear his allegiance ¡­


    However, it didn''t matter. After all, he would arrive at Lei Bao''s place sooner or later. Now that Lei Bao was one of them, he didn''t have to worry about anything else.


    Once Lin Tian undid the secret of the box, he would be able to clearly ask about the origin of the box.


    A smile immediately surfaced on Lin Tian''s face: "Since you''ve sworn your loyalty to me, then you''re one of us. Quickly get up ¡­"


    "Oh, this is still the Lei Bao I know, why did you kneel down to a brat who hasn''t even stopped drinking milk and even swear to be loyal to him, I think that you are really blinded by this little gold coin. At that time, our vice-captain Lang Wuying personally came to invite you, you despise the small temple of our Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Company and can''t tolerate you, I was just thinking about how big a temple you can find to hold you in. But now, it seems like a brat who hasn''t even dried out yet has already taken you down, now, we really think highly of you!" At this moment, a burst of mocking words came from behind him.


    The commotion caused by Lei Bao was not small, and everyone around saw it.


    "Lang Lie! Shut your mouth. Think about it, you were also the leader of a mercenary group, but you were willing to join Scarlet Wolf as a lackey and even sold out your own brothers for this. A person like you is not worthy of being a mercenary! " Lei Bao shouted at the person who mocked him.


    "Hey, you''re still angry! Look at your current appearance. You look like a Qi Hai warrior. Aren''t you this brat''s lackey?!" The person Lei Bao called Lang Lie was instantly angered and directly walked towards Lin Tian and the other two.


    "Where did this wild dog come from?" Lin Tian''s eyes suddenly became cold. His voice was cold and fierce, causing people to feel a chill down their spines.


    "Brat, I think you''re tired of living!" Lang Lie''s eyes turned malevolent. Just as he was about to attack, Lei Bao suddenly roared out, "Lang Lie, are you courting death? Do you want to make a move in this Clear Pavilion!"


    After hearing Lei Bao''s words, Lang Lie gave up the idea of attacking.


    But how could Lin Tian let him go? Lin Tian''s speed was unusually fast and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Lang Lie: "The one who insulted me deserves to die!"


    "Boom boom!" With a loud noise, Lin Tian''s Great Destiny Fist was thrown out, his fist striking Lang Lie''s body. Lin Tian''s speed was too fast, so fast that Lang Lie didn''t even have time to react before he was sent flying by Lin Tian''s fist.


    Lang Lie''s strength was the same as Lin Tian''s, he was also at the third level of the Qi Hai realm. However, with Lin Tian''s physical strength, fighting strength, and the power of the Great Destiny Fist, all three of these combined together and with Lin Tian being caught off guard, Lang Lie was completely unstoppable and was sent flying with a single punch from Lin Tian.


    His figure flew out and heavily fell on the ground not too far away. However, Lang Lie''s cultivation was still at the third level of the Qi Hai realm. Lin Tian was caught off guard and flew away, but he did not harm him.


    But just as Lang Lie was about to get up, Lin Tian coldly yelled: "Explode!"


    "Bang, bang, bang." Suddenly, a series of explosive sounds rang out around Lang Lie''s body. He discovered that, at some unknown time, hidden forces had suddenly exploded around his body, causing him to be seriously injured. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was unable to stand up again?


    Lin Tian lightly walked in front of Lang Lie and smilingly said: "Where did you get that mad dog and bite everywhere you go? Who is your master? How dare he leave without tying you up?"


    Saying that, Lin Tian''s leg kicked out and Lang Lie flew far away.


    "Who dares to behave so atrociously in our Clear Pavilion?!" Behind him, Ma Feng''s enraged roar sounded out.


    Just as Lin Tian made his move, Ma Feng felt it. Also, Lin Tian''s move was too decisive and attracted everyone''s attention.


    The middle-aged man beside Ma Feng had a malicious expression on his face as he hurried over.


    "Lin Tian, the Clear Pavilion''s rules state that one cannot attack. You ¡­" At this moment, Li Wan''er also realized that something was wrong and directly went up to stop Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian turned a deaf ear to him and once again walked up. With another kick, he once again kicked Lang Lie flying far away.


    "Kid, who do you think you''re talking about?"


    At this moment, Lang Lie could only groan in pain. Just now, the explosion of the hidden force had severely injured him. At this moment, he did not have the strength to retaliate at all.


    "I told you to stop!" Just at this time, Ma Feng also rushed over and grabbed Lin Tian. Just as he was about to attack, he saw Lin Tian turn his head.


    The strength accumulated by Ma Feng was forcefully interrupted by him. He had a face full of doubt and could not help but ask Lin Tian: "Little brother, was it you who did it?"


    "This person insulted me, he must be killed!" Lin Tian indifferently said a few words and then ignored Ma Feng. He continued to walk forward.


    "Master Ma, what''s going on? How did he dare to make a move in the Clear Pavilion?" Behind him, the sinister middle-aged man also rushed over. When he clearly saw who the person Lin Tian kicked flying was, that middle-aged man immediately became furious.


    "Boy, since you dare to touch my Scarlet Wolf''s people, I think you must be tired of living!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man was about to attack.


    But before his fist even hit Lin Tian''s body, Ma Feng made the first move. Ma Feng''s figure quickly rushed behind Lin Tian and forcefully met the middle-aged man''s palm.


    The two palms collided and the force that was emitted caused the surrounding spectators to retreat a few steps. Only then did they stabilize their bodies.


    "Aurous Core stage!" Someone exclaimed.


    Ma Feng and that middle-aged man were both Aurous Core stage experts!


    The middle-aged man immediately became furious, "Master Ma, what are you trying to do!"


    "Captain Chi, this is the Clear Pavilion, not your Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Group. Do you want to force this old man to fall out with you?" Ma Feng''s eyes were filled with coldness.


    At the same time, in the large hall, black-clothed people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Their strength was not weak at all, and they were all the guards of the Clear Pavilion that were hidden in the shadows.


    Captain Chi was surprised for a moment before he exclaimed in anger: "So it turns out that Master Ma knows that the Clear Pavilion is not allowed to make a move. But what does that brat think about the attack now? And the one he beat is my Scarlet Wolf''s man!"


    "I know, so what!" Ma Feng said coldly.


    "How is it?" Guild Leader Chi laughed in extreme anger: "I have always said that Clear Pavilion is a fair place, but I did not expect that it was just for show, only your Clear Pavilion is allowed to take action, and we are not allowed to do anything!" But now that that brat wants to kill our Scarlet Wolf''s man, doesn''t Master Ma want to give an explanation? "


    Ma Feng was about to reply when Lin Tian, who was nearby, suddenly spoke.


    "I''ll give you an explanation!" Lin Tian''s booming voice resounded through the entire hall.


    Ma Feng and Captain Chi were both surprised. Lin Tian had already made his move.


    "Bam!" Lin Tian''s fist landed on Lang Lie''s body.


    Lang Lie screamed miserably as he spat out another mouthful of blood.


    Lin Tian once again sent out a fist.


    Two punches, three punches.


    Lin Tian''s punches became faster and faster. At the beginning, Lang Lie could still shout, but later on, he couldn''t even make a sound.


    After that, Lang Lie started to bleed from his seven orifices. He exhaled more and breathed less. It was obvious that he could not survive any longer.


    Lin Tian stood up and wiped his hands on Lang Lie''s clothes. He then kicked Lang Lie''s corpse in front of Captain Chi.


    "Guild Leader Chi, you must be the owner of the untied dog. Your dog bit me, so I killed him. Are you satisfied with what I just said?" Lin Tian''s voice was indifferent, not a trace of emotion could be heard.


    "Good, good, good!" Captain Chi''s lips were trembling from anger. After saying three ''good'' words in succession, he was no longer able to speak.


    With Ma Feng here, Captain Chi really didn''t dare to make a move.


    "Master Ma, is that what you said too?" Captain Chi suppressed his anger and asked Ma Feng.


    "Yes sir!" Ma Feng hesitated, but he still gritted his teeth and said.


    "Alright!" Captain Chi''s eyes became gloomy, he stared straight at Lin Tian: "Brat, tell me your name!"


    "My name is Lin Tian, remember!" Lin Tian smiled faintly: "I advise you not to provoke me. I don''t have a good impression of your Scarlet Wolf people right now, so don''t provoke me. Listen to my advice. The people who provoked me before all regretted giving birth to themselves ¡­"


    "Lin Tian, just you wait!" Captain Chi gave a cold snort and said to the servants behind him, "What are you waiting for? Move him back!"


    Captain Chi flicked his sleeves and left. The servants followed behind him, and they still carried Lang Lie''s corpse and left unhappily.


    But all the people on scene were completely stunned. No one would have thought that Lin Tian would be so brutal. He actually beat up Lang Lie to death! And they were all beaten to death!

 C73

    The people who had watched the events unfold all looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    They all began to guess Lin Tian''s true identity.


    This brat called Lin Tian, just who was he to make Master Ma protect him even though he had offended the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Company''s Guild Leader.


    The Clear Pavilion had two rules. Firstly, no one was allowed to act in the Clear Pavilion, and secondly, the Clear Pavilion had always been a neutral place. No matter what, it would never have any conflicts with the major powers of the Heavenly Thunder City.


    But now because of this Lin Tian, Master Ma had broken the rules set by the two Clear Pavilion.


    Ma Feng''s expression was also somewhat ugly. He waved his hand towards the black clothed people behind him. Those black clothed people immediately understood and immediately began to disperse the crowd that was still watching.


    The crowd discussed animatedly, but they also knew that this Master Ma was already angry. If they continued to stay, they were afraid that they would be angered by Ma Feng''s thunderous fury.


    Not long after, everyone was chased out of the Qing Xuan Pavilion by the guards. The large hall had suddenly become empty.


    Only Li Wan''er, Lei Bao, Lin Tian, and Ma Feng remained.


    Li Wan''er and Lei Bao were also shocked by Lin Tian''s domineering decision.


    He actually dared to be so decisive in the Clear Pavilion. He didn''t hold back his emotions in the slightest as he directly killed the Scarlet Wolf, Lang Lie.


    Lei Bao knew about Lang Lie''s origins. He was originally the leader of a small mercenary group, but later on he led his mercenary group and directly went to the Red Wolf''s side.


    Due to this, Lang Lie''s position among the Scarlet Wolves was not low either. Deep within the trust of the Scarlet Wolf''s two captains, one was Crimson Fire, and the other was Wolf Formless, these two were regarded as his trusted aides. But now that Lin Tian had killed Lang Lie in such a thunderous fashion, the Scarlet Wolf definitely would not let this matter rest.


    The so called Guild Leader Chi was the leader of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries, Crimson Flame. He was an expert at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage and was one of the top experts in the entire Heavenly Thunder City.


    Li Wan''er naturally knew of the identity of that Crimson Flame, so she too was extremely worried. Furthermore, looking at Ma Feng''s current expression, he was even more gloomy. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.


    She was hesitating on whether she should go up and plead with Ma Feng, but seeing Lin Tian''s gaze, she immediately gave up on this idea.


    This was because Lin Tian seemed to know her thoughts. His gaze just now had indicated for her to stand where she was and not move.


    Lin Tian did not move as well. He naturally knew the rules of the Clear Pavilion, but Lang Lie had been killed on purpose because the first Lang Lie had publicly insulted him. With Lin Tian''s vengeful nature, he naturally could not swallow his anger.


    The other point was that Lin Tian wanted to test Ma Feng''s bottom line.


    After Ma Feng found out about his identity as a Symbol Master, he was extremely pleased with Lin Tian. Previously, Lin Tian couldn''t understand, but later on, Lin Tian thought it through.


    The reason for all this was because of the imaginary master he was talking about.


    Lin Tian wasn''t even seventeen this year, but his Symbol Dao cultivation was already a high-grade Symbol Master. That Ma Feng was also a high-grade Symbol Master, but Ma Feng was already fifty to sixty years old.


    This made Ma Feng want to befriend him. Of course, the final goal was for Lin Tian''s non-existent master.


    Breaking through to a high-grade Symbol Master at such a young age was undoubtedly due to his amazing talent, but the guidance from a master teacher was also an extremely crucial factor.


    Thus, this was the main reason why Ma Feng wanted to please Lin Tian.


    If Ma Feng could pass through Lin Tian and get to know Lin Tian''s master with an extremely high rune cultivation, as long as he could get a little guidance from Lin Tian''s master, then Ma Feng''s strength would increase by another level. A martial artist''s lifespan was also limited, but if Ma Feng''s rune cultivation could improve, then his lifespan would also greatly increase.


    After understanding this level, Lin Tian wanted to test how much Ma Feng could tolerate from him.


    Originally, Lin Tian hadn''t thought it through, but since that blind Lang Lie had come out to die, Lin Tian had borrowed him to test Ma Feng.


    As expected, although Ma Feng was very angry, he was the only one who was sulking and didn''t dare to show it.


    When he turned around and saw Lin Tian again, Ma Feng had already suppressed his anger.


    Lin Tian on the other hand, spoke up first: "Brother Feng, I''m really sorry. I didn''t hold back my anger and gave you trouble ¡­"


    "It''s one of us, why are you being so courteous?" Ma Feng heard Lin Tian apologized and did not know what to say. He comforted Lin Tian and then said: "That person is just a small role of the Scarlet Wolf, provoking junior brother Lin, killing him is fine, but for this matter, I will find the Scarlet Flame and explain clearly, not letting him find trouble with you, if he really dares to find trouble with you, you can come find me, as my elder brother, I will support you no matter what."


    "Thank you, Brother Feng." Lin Tian pretended to be extremely moved.


    Ma Feng laughed out loud: "We''re on the same side, there''s no need to be polite. Let''s go, the auction is about to begin, let''s go in together."


    Saying that, he enthusiastically pulled Lin Tian towards the auction venue.


    The Qing Xuan Hall''s auction venue was located in this large hall, and was an extremely secretive space.


    As soon as they entered the door, Lin Tian saw the maid, Malan''er who had led them in.


    When Ma Feng saw Ma Lan''er, he immediately greeted her: "Lan''er, for this auction, you will be the one to attend to little brother Lin Tian Xian."


    After speaking, he turned to Lin Tian Yu and said, "Brother Lin Xian, I still need to host the auction, so I won''t be accompanying you. If there''s anything you want, feel free to tell Lan''er that our Qing Xuan Pavilion has bid for you."


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "Many thanks Brother Feng, I''ll be troubling Brother Feng."


    Ma Feng left with a smile on his face.


    As Malan saw Ma Feng leave, she also said, "Sir Lin, Little Sister Wan''er, please follow me."


    Lin Tian, Li Wan''er and Lei Bao immediately followed Ma Lan''er to a private room.


    "Lan''er will wait on you outside. If you need me, please ring the bell on the table. I will hear you." After saying that, she stood outside the room.


    Lin Tian directly entered the private room. The private room was unusually quiet, but the tables, chairs, and refreshments were all there.


    Li Wan''er sighed and said, "This is the most top-notch treatment. Our Li family has business dealings with the Clear Pavilion all year round, but they don''t have this treatment either. There aren''t many rooms of this level, and it''s even with Malan personally attending to them ¡­"


    Lin Tian slightly smiled, but did not reply. Li Wan''er did not understand the reasoning behind it, and he had no need to say it.


    "Everyone." Right at this moment, an aged voice suddenly sounded from the auction stage.


    Lin Tian raised his head to look. It was precisely Ma Feng who had just left in a hurry.


    "Grandpa Ma has always been the host of the auction, because all the buyers and sellers only believe in his eyes." Li Wan''er explained, "Only Grandpa Ma can manage the bidding and make an accurate offer. Everyone believes that, especially those buyers, they are all here for Grandpa Ma''s reputation."


    Lin Tian nodded his head, expressing his understanding.


    "Everyone, it''s truly an honor for our Qingxuan Pavilion to have all of you come here today." Ma Feng politely said to the crowd at the auction venue. He then said: "This time, I won''t waste any more of my words. I will directly go to the auction venue."


    After saying this, Ma Feng waved his hand towards the female servants behind the auction stage. Those female servants carried all kinds of items and walked towards the front of the stage. However, there was a layer of red cloth wrapped around all of these items, causing one to be unable to clearly see what was hidden within.


    Ma Feng looked at those items and said: "This time, our Clear Xuan Pavilion spent months of effort before choosing the twelve most valuable items from the various auctions. All sorts of treasures, secret manuals, divine weapons, medicinal pills, and even demon beast eggs should be there.


    "Master Ma, that''s enough. Stop being suspenseful. This isn''t the first time we''ve come here. Hurry up and start. I can''t wait any longer." At this moment, someone in the audience couldn''t help but call out to Ma Feng. It was obvious that he was a regular customer here.


    "Alright, alright, alright. Since Young Master Zhang can''t wait any longer, I won''t waste any more time. Let''s go first!" Ma Feng waved to the first maid behind him. That maid immediately walked up with the first item in her hands.


    "This first item is a godly weapon!" Ma Feng lifted up the red cloth and revealed a biting sword light.


    It was actually a longsword.


    "This sword is a Spirit Level Divine Weapon." Ma Feng introduced the crowd.


    "Spirit level?" Everyone in the audience was instantly in a state of turmoil. Having come to so many auctions, this was the first time they had encountered such a godly weapon.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that Divine Weapons had different grades. They were divided into Common Grade, Spirit Grade, Earth Grade, and Heaven Grade, and each grade was divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks.


    All grade weapons were called Spirit Treasures. Even common grade Spirit Treasures were much more powerful than ordinary weapons.


    For a city like the Heavenly Thunder City, having a Common Grade Totem was already pretty good. But now, it was actually a Spiritual Grade Divine Weapon. This made everyone incomparably excited.


    Ma Feng did not beat around the bush and directly stated his price. "Although this Spirit Level Divine Weapon is only a Low Rank Spiritual Grade weapon, its power cannot be underestimated. So the starting price is 1000 gold coins! "


    "A thousand gold!" Everyone couldn''t help but cry out in alarm.


    A thousand gold coins was not a small amount. Even for the powerful families in the Heavenly Thunder City, the amount of wealth they had was not a small amount.


    Lei Bao even opened his eyes wide as he looked at the sword in disbelief. He shouted, "Oh my god, our Lei Bao mercenary group worked hard to accept missions in the past year and could only earn 200 gold coins. That''s already pretty good, but now this sword is actually worth 1000 gold coins?"


    Mercenaries wanted wealth, but martial artists wanted strength. This sword was a spirit level divine weapon, and although it was a low grade spirit level weapon, with Lin Tian''s current level of the third level of the Qi Hai realm, when he obtained this sword, he would be able to fight against a fifth level Qi Hai warrior. He would be invincible.


    A divine weapon like this could easily crush a cultivator of the same cultivation level, or even challenge cultivators of a higher cultivation level. It wasn''t a difficult matter.


    Sure enough, at this moment, the people below the stage started to bid enthusiastically.


    Not long after, the price was raised to 1500 gold coins, which was eventually sold to a buyer for 1800 gold coins.


    Lin Tian on the other hand didn''t bid. He had the Dragon Scale Spear and was ten thousand times stronger than this sword.

 C74

    The following items were mostly medicine pills, Divine Weapons, and the like. Lin Tian was not interested in these things and was quite happy to see the crowd fight over them. It was quite interesting.


    When it was the sixth item, Ma Feng said to the crowd, "Just now, it was just some pills and divine weapons. What''s next is a few martial arts techniques. Presumably, many people are waiting for these things."


    "Master Ma, don''t keep us in suspense. If it''s good stuff, quickly take it out and show it to the big guys." A rough voice sounded.


    The rest of the people also agreed with him. Divine Weapons were not something everyone needed, and it was not suitable for everyone. However, martial arts was something everyone wanted. Powerful martial arts could rapidly increase one''s combat prowess. This was something that everyone needed.


    "Good, good, good. This martial art is a rank 4 martial art called Raging Flames Palm. When it is used, the palm of the hand is like fire and the strength is unparalleled. It is an extremely aggressive martial art. Starting price, three thousand gold coins!"


    Without wasting any time, Master Ma gave a brief introduction of this martial art and then announced the starting price for this martial art.


    When Lin Tian heard that the next item up for auction was a martial art, he immediately became interested, but after hearing what Ma Feng said, he lost all interest.


    That was because the Raging Flames Palm was only a rank 4 martial art ¡­


    The martial arts in the world were divided into nine grades, the lowest grade, and the highest grade.


    For example, the most powerful martial arts he had collected in the Sky Dragon Academy was only at rank 2. He didn''t even have a rank 3 martial art.


    At the beginning, it was because Lin Tian''s strength wasn''t enough and wasn''t enough to cultivate higher level martial arts. Moreover, later on Lin Tian received the Great Fortune Fist, and from Lin Tian''s current understanding, this Great Fortune Fist was at least a martial art of grade five and above.


    In other words, the so-called Raging Flames Palm was not even as high grade as his Great Destiny Fist. Wasn''t cultivating it a waste of time?


    Lin Tian had always been looking for high level martial arts, but no matter if it was the martial arts he had found in the Old Devil Yin''s cave, or the martial arts he had looted from Black Wind Stronghold, all of them were trash low level martial arts.


    Perhaps Xiao Yunhai had high-grade martial arts, but Lin Tian had never found the opportunity to ask Xiao Yunhai for it. Moreover, the martial arts Xiao Yunhai cultivated might not be suitable for him.


    But after he came back this time, he would have to ask Xiao Yunhai.


    Usually, a Qi Disciple cultivator would be able to practice a Level 1 Martial Art, while a Level 2 Martial Technique would be enough.


    Level 3 and level 4 martial arts were more than enough for a Qi Hai warrior to train in.


    As for the Aurous Core stage, a grade five to seven martial art was more than enough.


    A Grade Eight, Grade Nine Martial Arts, was something that only a Star River Realm expert could possess.


    However, Lin Tian was different from ordinary people. There was dragon blood in Lin Tian''s body, and the key thing was that Lin Tian''s strength was originally much stronger than ordinary cultivators.


    Therefore, he had to practice a higher grade martial art. Because his starting point was very high, the Great Creation Fist was a martial art of grade five and above.


    However, even if Lin Tian did not care about it, it did not mean that others did not want it either. In reality, although the Raging Flames Palm was only a rank 4 martial art, it still attracted everyone''s attention.


    Three thousand gold coins, raised to eight thousand gold coins.


    "Ten thousand gold!" At this moment, a young man sitting in front of him shouted out such a price!


    "So it''s the Liu family''s young master. Forget it, forget it. The Liu family is rich, I think we can''t win against them ¡­" Some people on the stage immediately recognized the young lord''s identity, and the rest of the people also gave up on the idea of bidding.


    In the end, this battle technique was successfully won by the Liu family''s young master for ten thousand gold coins.


    "The seventh item." Ma Feng immediately took out another martial arts secret manual.


    "The grade of this martial art book is definitely not low. However, due to its inadequacy, it is now only a little less than half of the original. However, it is still a Grade Three martial art. And the key point is that this martial art book is a footwork martial art!" When Ma Feng said this, everyone was shocked.


    "A footwork martial art is actually a footwork martial art?" Someone exclaimed.


    "But, it''s a pity, it''s just a incomplete book ¡­" Some people said with regret.


    "Furthermore, the key is that there are only a small half of the incomplete books. This incomplete martial art is too harmful, but I don''t know how many gold coins it would be for the starting price." Someone could not help but shake his head.


    "Sigh ¡­" The audience sighed, all of them feeling a bit regretful.


    Lin Tian was no exception. He slightly creased his brows, considering whether or not to take a picture of it.


    The footwork martial arts were extremely rare among martial arts. This was because the footwork martial arts were specialized in training the footwork. This level of martial arts was considered a priceless treasure for martial arts practitioners.


    When martial practitioners fought, it was extremely crucial for them to possess footwork martial arts. Possessing such a martial art meant that they would be invincible.


    This was because he could rely on his footwork to establish an advantage and defeat his opponent. Even if his opponent was powerful, he could use it to escape with his footwork.


    Everyone knew how terrifying a footwork martial art was, so when they heard that it was a footwork martial art, they immediately became excited.


    However, what was lacking in beauty was that this martial art was actually incomplete.


    For martial arts cultivators, incomplete martial arts were much more useless. Firstly, they were not as powerful as complete martial arts, and secondly, they were extremely dangerous. If one was not careful, one''s body could go berserk or even explode and die.


    However, this was only a footwork martial art and was not that serious. However, the value of this martial art must be greatly reduced.


    However, what caused Lin Tian to pay extra attention to was that Ma Feng actually said that this incomplete martial art was actually at the third grade. If this martial art was complete, then how terrifying would it be? This also meant that the complete martial art was at least a ninth grade, or even above ninth grade!


    Lin Tian hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still decided to take the bid.


    Even though it was an incomplete book, it was better to have it than nothing. Worst case scenario, he could find a way to find the remaining incomplete books in the future.


    This was the only chance he had, and he couldn''t afford to miss it.


    After making up his mind, Lin Tian rang the bell on the table.


    Malan walked in immediately and said to Lin Tian Yi, "Young master, are you interested in this martial art?"


    "Exactly." Lin Tian replied indifferently.


    "Okay, Lan knows what to do." Malan obediently withdrew.


    It was also at this moment that Ma Feng also gave the starting price for that incomplete Martial Arts.


    "The name of this martial art is'' God Transforming Steps''. The starting price is five thousand gold coins!"


    The crowd immediately burst into an uproar. An incomplete martial art actually costed 5000 gold coins, but from this, it could be seen that even if there was a small half of the God Transforming Steps, it was still considered powerful.


    "Eight thousand gold." Although everyone was feeling sorry for the auction, they still bid very honestly now.


    "Nine thousand!"


    "Ten thousand!"


    "Twelve thousand!"


    "Fifteen thousand!"


    "Twenty thousand!"


    As the price was raised crazily, the God Transforming Steps in this incomplete book was quickly sold for 25,000 gold coins. This was a five times increase compared to the starting price.


    "Thirty thousand gold." At this moment, the Liu Clan''s Young Master who had just slapped the Raging Flames Palm spoke again.


    The first offer was for 30,000 gold. Many of the buyers, who were determined to win just now, immediately stopped.


    Thirty thousand gold coins, this was more than the price of the God Transforming Steps.


    For a moment, no one bid again, and the entire auction place fell silent.


    But at this time, Lin Tian''s voice faintly sounded out.


    "Fifty thousand gold." He said fifty thousand gold coins in one go.


    At the same time, Malan''er also raised the badge in his hand.


    "Who is that person? Why is he sitting in room number 1?!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.


    Lin Tian''s sudden words caused everyone to be stunned for a moment, but immediately after, everyone''s attention focused on the private room where Lin Tian was.


    The private room that Lin Tian was in was number one, which meant it was the best room in the entire auction house. Moreover, normally, there was no one in this private room.


    Some of the older buyers remembered that one year, Tian Luo Kingdom''s First Prince had come here, and sat in this private room.


    Later on, a certain powerful figure from the Azure Province came and sat in this private room.


    Other than these two times, even the City Lord of the Heavenly Thunder City, Luo Kaishan, sat in room number 2.


    The voice just now sounded very young, and couldn''t help but cause the crowd to discuss amongst themselves as they began to guess Lin Tian''s identity.


    "Isn''t that Miss Lan''er?" Everyone knew that Malan was Master Ma''s disciple. Although his identity was that of a maid, no one dared to take Malan as an ordinary maid.


    But now, like the other maids, she was the one serving room number one!


    "How, how is this possible!" Everyone was even more surprised.


    The young master of the Liu family, who was about to bid, chose to give up.


    He naturally knew what was good for him. An existence that could sit in room number 1 and even have Malan''er personally serve him was not someone that he could provoke.


    Ma Feng also immediately understood. Without any hesitation, he directly dropped his hammer.


    "Congratulations to the young master in Room 1 for obtaining this footwork skill, the God Transforming Steps."


    Ma Lan''er immediately moved in front of Ma Feng and retrieved the incomplete martial arts. She sent it into room number 1 and gave it to Lin Tian.


    Everyone was shocked. No matter what the auction was about, they would have to wait until the end of the auction to pay and deliver the goods in one go. But now, he didn''t have the money to pay.


    Everyone began to guess Lin Tian''s identity.


    Lin Tian did not pay attention to the discussions of the crowd as he directly opened the God Transforming Steps.


    "This footwork is the essence of my entire life of practicing. When mastered to the Small Success Stage, you can travel thousands of miles in a day with unparalleled speed. Once mastered to the Large Success Stage, you can become invisible and unfathomable." The beginning of the story was a domineering speech.


    Lin Tian''s heart was also filled with joy. No wonder the incomplete books were all of the third grade. Just from the previous paragraph, one could tell that the God Transforming Steps was extraordinary.


    It was obvious that the previous paragraph was written by the person who created this footwork martial art. Judging from the previous paragraph, it was sufficient to know that this person must be a peerless expert!


    He had earned quite a bit. Lin Tian was very satisfied in his heart. This trip to the Clear Pavilion had yielded quite a bountiful harvest.

 C75

    After obtaining the God Transforming Steps, Lin Tian was naturally very satisfied. At the same time, he looked forward to the auction more and more.


    However, although the highest grade of the remaining martial arts were only at the fifth rank, they were either defensive martial arts or martial arts that did not have a strong offensive power.


    Its might was not even comparable to his Great Creation Fist, and Lin Tian also gradually lost interest.


    Before long, it was the eleventh item to be auctioned.


    "This item is extremely special. It''s an egg of a rank 3 Monstrous Beast, a Winged Tiger Demon." At this time, Ma Feng held a green egg and introduced it to everyone.


    "Rank 3 beast?"


    "Dual Winged Tiger Demon?"


    Everyone in the audience cried out in alarm. They couldn''t believe what they were seeing. They hadn''t thought that they would be able to get such a good item in the auction.


    A Rank 3 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a human Golden Core Realm cultivator. When a human reached the Aurous Core Stage, their body would condense the Aurous Core, and the body of a Rank 3 Demonic Beast would condense the Demonic Core.


    This kind of demon beast could be said to be the king of beasts in a mountain region.


    Lin Tian had also been attracted by the egg of this Rank 3 Demonic Beast. Before, he had seen two Rank 2 Demonic Beasts in the Green Cliff Mountain. Those Demonic Beasts were already existences that could claim the throne in the Green Cliff Mountain.


    As a matter of fact, the eggs of a rank 3 beast had attracted everyone''s attention.


    This was because once the egg hatched, it would become a capable assistant. This was a good opportunity that no one wanted to miss out on.


    Moreover, after this egg was hatched, it would become a Dual Winged Tiger Demon with unlimited potential, and could even break through to the Third Stage and reach the Fourth Stage.


    Rank four, that was an existence comparable to a human cultivator in the Astral Realm. If this tiger demon was nurtured, it would be equivalent to having a Star River realm expert as a fighter.


    Lin Tian shook his head. He did not plan on competing. After saying it, he would say that it was only an egg. After hatching it, it would take a lot of effort and not to mention raising it in the future.


    Lin Tian couldn''t even take care of himself right now. He didn''t even have that many cultivation resources for him to cultivate, much less having to raise a tiger demon like this.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly thought of the egg in his whirlpool of dantian.


    He got that egg from the shadow of the dragon gate. He didn''t know what exactly that egg was, but he suddenly thought, could it be that the egg was also a demon beast egg?


    Thinking back to what he had obtained from the shadow of the dragon gate, Lin Tian''s heartbeat immediately sped up.


    "Don''t tell me, don''t tell me I got a dragon egg!" Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately jumped in fright. The divine soul in the Divine Mansion rushed out and carefully examined the egg in his whirlpool of dantian.


    "Boy, don''t think too much. The dragon egg no longer exists. In the Sky Dragon Continent, there aren''t even any dragons. How could there be a dragon egg?" Just at this moment, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace indifferently interrupted Lin Tian''s thoughts.


    Lin Tian Qi said: "If it isn''t a dragon egg, then what is it? Moreover, it isn''t a dragon egg, so why would it appear in the shadow of the dragon gate?"


    "This egg has a lot to do with our dragon race. You wouldn''t know about it even if I told you." He then said, "However, the egg is still asleep. I can feel that you have to raise it when you have the chance. If you don''t, the egg won''t break out from its shell."


    "How?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "In other words, the blood essence of some level five and above demon beasts, or even demon beasts, is fine. These things can barely provide some strength for it." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "How is this possible!" A Rank 5 Demonic Beast was an expert that surpassed the Star River Realm. With Lin Tian''s current strength, if he wanted to hunt a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, there was only death.


    "Then let''s take it slow. Why are you in such a hurry? It''s already very difficult to raise a divine beast like this." Horned Demon unhappily said one sentence and then didn''t say anything else.


    "Then the eggs of this Rank 3 Demonic Beast ¡­" Lin Tian asked again.


    "It''s useless, it''s completely useless." Before Lin Tian finished asking, Horned Demon directly replied.


    "A Rank 3 Demonic Beast''s egg is not worthy of its notice. Even if you bid on it, it will not eat it." Hornless said indifferently.


    "..." Lin Tian immediately stopped asking. The eggs of the Rank 3 Demonic Beasts were trash to that egg. One could imagine how strong that egg was.


    At this moment, this Rank 3 Tiger Demon''s egg had already started bidding.


    "Because of the value of this egg, the seller who entrusted us with this auction clearly stated that this egg is priceless. Therefore, this egg will be priced at one thousand high quality spirit stones!"


    "A thousand high-grade spirit stones!" The crowd immediately exclaimed.


    Spirit stones were essential items for martial cultivators. Spirit stones contained the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, which was a treasure for martial cultivators.


    Spirit stones were divided into four ranks: top quality, top quality, middle quality, and low quality.


    Spirit Stones were common among cultivators, but they were not common in the Heavenly Thunder City and Heavenly Dragon City, because neither city had a spirit stone mine.


    If he wanted spirit stones, then he would need to buy them at a high price.


    And a low rank spirit stone required a gold coin to buy it.


    A high-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a thousand low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to a thousand gold coins.


    And a thousand high-grade spirit stones required a million gold coins!


    One million gold coins, in the entire Heavenly Thunder City, was a sky-high price that most people could not afford.


    Sure enough, once the thousand top grade spirit stones were bid, everyone became silent.


    No one dared to bid.


    After a period of silence, someone finally raised the plate in his hand.


    "1100 high grade spirit stones!"


    "It''s Young Master Liu, it''s Young Master Liu again!" Someone suddenly shouted.


    Everyone immediately looked at Young Master Liu with envious eyes. Perhaps only a top-notch power like the Heavenly Thunder City could afford such a price to bid for this Tiger Demon Egg.


    "One thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones." Suddenly, a woman''s voice was heard.


    Everyone stared blankly for a moment before looking towards the source of the voice. Only then did they realize that not far away in a corner, the girl who had been silently sitting there all this time had unexpectedly called out a price.


    When he looked over and saw the woman, he sneered: "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be little sister Ruxi. How come the Zhang Clan recently made a fortune and can actually take out 1500 high grade spirit stones in one go?"


    "So it''s the young miss of the Zhang family ¡­" The others were suddenly enlightened.


    In the entire Skythunder City, there were five major powers.


    Zhang family, Liu family, Li family, the three great families, the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Group, and the Heavenly Thunder King Luo Kai Shan.


    The five great families all had the most wealth, especially the three great families who monopolized the three industries of pills, smithing, and trade.


    The fact that they were able to take out several thousand high-grade spirit stones was not a surprising matter.


    "I don''t need to tell you whether I''m rich or not. If I''m rich, I''ll just bid. If I''m not, then cut the crap!" That Zhang family''s young miss wouldn''t forgive him.


    The Liu family''s young master''s expression immediately became unsightly, but he quickly said, "Sister Ru Xi has spoken. Who knows if I might have to give face to her. I, brother, won''t be bidding for this item."


    "Why are you pretending to be a big tail wolf when you don''t have the money?" The Zhang family''s young miss mocked him and no longer paid any attention to Young Master Liu. She then turned to Ma Feng and said, "Master Ma, I don''t think there''s anyone else competing with me. It would be better to drop the hammer as soon as possible."


    Ma Feng nodded his head and scanned his surroundings. Seeing that no one wanted to continue bidding, he decided to put down his hammer.


    In the end, the Class 3 Tiger Demon''s egg was bought by the Zhang family''s young miss.


    This was already the eleventh item. Ma Feng previously said that there were a total of twelve items in this auction. Now, there was only one remaining item.


    The crowd became more and more curious. The last item could be said to be the best item ever. The first 11 items were all extraordinary items, which made them even more eager to see just what kind of treasure this last item was.


    "I think everyone is waiting for this final item." Ma Feng smiled faintly and lifted up the red cloth.


    "Another egg!" Everyone immediately exclaimed out loud. Just now, the third stage tiger demon egg had caused a sky-high bidding price. Without a doubt, it was a priceless treasure, but now, there was actually an egg!


    Furthermore, this egg was the final item. Could it be that it was even more valuable than a Rank 3 Tiger Demon?


    A trace of a smile appeared on Ma Feng''s face, but he soon straightened his expression and said, "This egg, I can''t call it by name either."


    Everyone was startled.


    Ma Feng''s voice came again, "Not only me, even the seller doesn''t know the origin of this egg."


    "This old man has been examining a treasure for many years and has never failed in his attempt, but this egg was the only one who was unable to pinpoint its origin. I have also specially looked for the head elder of our Clear Pavilion Pavilion and studied it for many days, but he was still unable to figure out the origin of this egg."


    "In other words, we can see that this egg is a monster egg, but we cannot determine what kind of monster egg it is, nor can we determine its rank and potential."


    Ma Feng''s face was somewhat dejected. He boasted that he was an appraisal grandmaster, but he was defeated on this egg.


    "However, from what I have seen from my many years of appraisal, this egg is definitely not ordinary, and its rank is definitely above rank 3. However, as for what rank the Monstrous Beast is, I cannot make a conclusion." Ma Feng gently caressed the egg and said hoarsely, "However, I can confirm that this egg is a dead egg."


    "Dead eggs?" Everyone was even more surprised and confused.


    "Hmm, it is a dead egg. There is no sign of life inside this egg. It is obviously a dead egg. But, even if it is, the value of this egg is much higher than the one in the tiger." Ma Feng said in a low voice.


    "If everyone believes in my judgement, please believe my words."


    "Master Ma, it''s not that we don''t believe you, but what''s the use of this dead egg?" Someone couldn''t help but call out.


    "Exactly, even if it''s valuable, a dead egg can''t compare to the third stage tiger demon''s egg." Someone echoed.


    "Give me your price, I''ll take it." At this time, in the room next to Lin Tian''s, an extremely cold male voice suddenly sounded out.


    All of a sudden, everyone looked towards the room where the voice came from in astonishment.


    That room was also a private room for VIPs.


    It was just room two.


    Lin Tian was room number one, and room number two was right next to Lin Tian.

 C76

    Everyone was stunned. In the next moment, a huge commotion broke out.


    "I say, there''s nothing wrong with you right? Did you not hear? Is this a dead egg? Is he actually going to bid for it? Could he be a fool?" Someone couldn''t help but mock him.


    "If I want to bid, then I''ll bid! If you dare to talk back, you''ll humiliate me! Die!" That person was the same as Lin Tian and was not someone to be trifled with. The person at the meeting place only said one sentence and the person next to Lin Tian directly killed him.


    When the person who mocked them just now heard this sentence, he immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    However, by the time he could react, it was already too late. A black wind suddenly rushed out from room two, and the black wind instantly covered the person who spoke. The monstrous black smoke instantly spread an enormous amount of energy, completely enveloping that person.


    No one had time to react either. Only when they saw the pile of bones, did they finally react. All of them looked at room 2 with vigilance. Their hearts were filled with fear.


    Who exactly was that person in room two? How could he have such a strong power? The person he killed was an existence at the first level of the Qi Hai realm, but a powerful Qi Hai warrior was killed so easily by that person ¡­


    Furthermore, his methods of killing were extremely strange, and no one had ever seen it before.


    On the other hand, Ma Feng''s expression suddenly darkened. He then coldly said, "So you are a friend of the Nine Serenities Faction. I wonder if you still put me and my Clear Pavilion in your eyes by killing someone in front of the auction!"


    The person in room two said with a gloomy tone, "Master Ma, there is no need to do this, the purpose of my visit was not to kill, but to participate in the auction. I have my eyes on this item, and I want to know the price, so the highest bidder will have it. If that person had participated in the auction, I would not have bid as much as he did, and I would not have broken the rules of the Clear Pavilion.


    "The Tartarus Faction?" Lin Tian slightly frowned. He was extremely unfamiliar with this name and had never heard of it before.


    However, from what Ma Feng said, he should know about this person''s background.


    Lin Tian was also surprised by his thunderous attack just now. He boasted that he wouldn''t be able to kill an existence at the first level of the Qi Hai realm so easily. Therefore, this person''s combat power should be above his.


    "Regardless of whether that person insults you or not, let me ask you this first. How did you get in here, and how did you even dare to sit in room 2? Did you know that room 2 is for those ¡­" Ma Feng suddenly stopped talking.


    "Pa Da." While Ma Feng was speaking, that person had already tossed out a token.


    "Black Gold Token!" Ma Feng immediately picked up the token and exclaimed.


    This was the Black Gold Token that was given out by their pavilion, only the most respected guests could own this token. In the entire Tian Luo Country, less than 100 people had this token.


    As for this Black Gold Token, the branch pavilion had no right to issue it, only the main pavilion had the right to hand it over.


    However, this badge was not only a symbol of one''s status, it was also a symbol of one''s power. VIPs with a Black Gold Token had the right to kill people in any place in the Clear Pavilion. They could even obtain items from there for half the price, or even an extremely low price.


    All in all, those who had the Golden Black Token were not restricted by any rules in the Clear Pavilion.


    Now do you know why I have the right to sit here? If it wasn''t for the people in Room 1 when I first came, I wouldn''t want to disturb you. Even if I wanted to sit in that room, the people in Room 1 would have to obediently give me their seats. The person in room number 2 sneered and said.


    Master Ma''s lips trembled violently, but he did not say anything in the end. Instead, he ordered the guards to keep the corpse and clean it up.


    Ma Feng took in a deep breath. Then, he held the Black Gold Token with both hands and passed it to the second room. "My apologies, esteemed guest. This is all our fault. I beg your forgiveness."


    Seeing the scene in front of their eyes, everyone was shocked. How, how is this possible? Master Ma had actually personally apologized to this person and even begged for his forgiveness.


    What was the identity of the person in room number 2? Why were all of them so mysterious?


    The previous guests in room no. 1 and now in room no. 2 were all feeling that they did not have enough brains.


    Silence.


    An incomparable silence.


    After Master Ma, who was holding the Golden Black Token, said those words, the entire auction place became silent. No one dared to make a single sound as they stared at Ma Feng. They wanted to see what the guest in room number 2 would do.


    After an unknown amount of time, the person in room no. 2 finally spoke, "Forget it, I want this egg. Tell me the price."


    The person took the Golden Black Token and threw it to the side.


    Only then did Ma Feng feel a sense of relief. He gently returned to the auction table and hugged the egg: "Because of the seller''s request, this egg does not need to be priced with gold coins or spirit stones. Instead, it needs to be priced with one condition!"


    "Condition?" That person was also confused, as if he didn''t understand what Ma Feng meant.


    "Miss Gu, please come out." At this moment, Master Ma called towards the inner hall.


    Suddenly, a person walked out from the inner hall. It was a woman wearing a black veil. Her figure was graceful and her fragrance was overwhelming. It was obvious that she was a peerless beauty.


    It was a pity that her face was covered by the black veil, but the crowd was unable to catch a glimpse of her beautiful face.


    The girl walked up to the auction table and asked the crowd in a soft voice, "Do you all want to see what I look like?"


    "Yes." Everyone answered honestly.


    It was truly a pity that such a peerless beauty did not have a single glimpse of her appearance. However, now that this beauty had taken the initiative to remove the black veil, everyone was naturally incomparably excited.


    The girl''s bell-like laughter rang out, causing everyone''s heart to thump.


    Under everyone''s anticipating eyes, the woman suddenly tore off her black veil.


    Just as he pulled it out, an extremely pungent stench immediately spread across the entire auction ground.


    Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses. That stench was really unpleasant.


    However, when they saw the girl''s face, they immediately vomited.


    Heavens, how could there be such a face in this world!


    Everyone felt incredulous.


    Lin Tian also looked at the woman''s face in shock.


    This was an extremely terrifying face.


    The woman''s face was covered with rotting muscles and was extremely disgusting. Moreover, there were many terrifying scars on her face and drops of black pus would occasionally drip out from them. Not only that, her face was emitting an extremely disgusting stench, causing people to feel nauseous.


    "This, this is ¡­" Everyone shouted in surprise.


    The woman smiled slightly. It was an indescribable terror as she quickly put on the black veil.


    With the veil on, the fishy smell immediately disappeared without a trace.


    "Everyone, you''ve all seen it. Do you want to take another look?" The woman laughed again. Her laughter was still as clear as a bell, but to the spectators, it was as terrifying as it could get.


    "I''m not going to watch it anymore, I''m not going to watch it." Everyone shook their heads. They had already been scared once, so they didn''t want to be scared a second time.


    The girl then said seriously, "I got this egg. My condition is very simple. The egg belongs to whoever can cure my face."


    Everyone was stunned for a moment before they immediately understood.


    However, the person in room number 2 frowned and said, "I don''t know any medical skills, and can you choose any condition, martial arts, secret arts, supernatural power, and even divine weapons and pills. No matter what, as long as you want them, I can give them to you ¡­"


    "I only request that it be able to cure my face. I am not interested in the things that you have said." The woman replied coldly.


    The man in room two fell silent.


    He did not dare to threaten the seller, nor did he dare to stay there. He took the initiative to be rude to the seller, even if he had the Black Gold Token. This was the bottom line of the Clear Pavilion.


    In room number 1, the main character of Lin TianAo''s manor suddenly made a sound of surprise.


    "What did you find out?" Lin Tian helplessly said to Horned Demon.


    "Brat, you almost made a mistake when you bought the egg, this egg is useful for the egg in your body ¡­" Horned Demon said in a deep voice.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was surprised for a moment. Earlier, Horned Demon said that if he wanted to awaken the egg in the whirlpool''s dantian, he would need at least the blood essence of a Rank 5 demon beast or a Rank 5 demon beast to be useful.


    But now, this dead egg actually said it was useful. Doesn''t that mean that the grade of this egg was actually above the fifth rank?!


    "But I don''t know any medical skills. I can''t cure that woman''s face." Lin Tian hesitated before saying.


    "I didn''t see it too clearly just now. If you let her in, I''ll go through it carefully. Maybe her physique is special, which is why she''s in such a situation." The Horned Demon faced Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly said: "Young lady, can young lady come in for a chat. This one knows a bit about medicine and can try taking a look for young lady."


    Everyone looked at room number one in surprise. This auction was truly strange. There were all sorts of strange things happening, especially the two people in room number 1 and room number 2. There was no doubt that they were strange people.


    The woman was also stunned, but immediately after, she became overjoyed and rushed straight into room # 1.


    Li Wan''er and Lei Bao tactfully walked out of room 1.


    Ma Feng looked at Room 1 in surprise. He hadn''t heard Lin Tian say that he knew medical skills. Could it be that he was a doctor?


    "Can you really heal my face?" The moment the woman entered and saw Lin Tian was so young, she asked in disbelief.


    "Whether I can or not, I have to carefully examine it before I can tell you." Lin Tian faintly smiled.

 C77

    "My name is Gu Yan''er." The girl smiled and told him her name. Then she stared at Lin Tian and said: "Then how do you plan on curing the scar on my face?"


    "Miss, please take off your veil." Lin Tian did not hesitate and instructed according to what Horned Demon said.


    Gu Yan''er did as she was told and immediately, a pungent stench immediately came over.


    That fishy stench instantly passed through the private room and rushed into the large hall.


    At this moment, everyone in the hall was staring intently at room number 1. They had actually forgotten to cover their noses.


    The person in room number two also walked out from his room.


    Only now did everyone clearly see that the person was wearing a black robe and even his face was covered by a black mask. It was obvious that he did not want others to see his true appearance.


    At this moment, together with everyone else, his gaze was firmly fixated on room # 1.


    Lin Tian looked at Gu Yan''er''s face and couldn''t help but frown. It wasn''t because of the stench, but rather it was because he saw it clearly, causing Lin Tian to be even more surprised.


    The scar on Gu Yan''er''s face was very similar to the wound on a sword. The wound was not deep, but it was very horrifying. The stench was due to the scar on her face.


    When Gu Yan''er saw Lin Tian frown, she could not help but sneer: "If Young Master is so smelly, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he immediately understood that he had been misunderstood. He explained again and again: "Lady, please do not misunderstand. I am frowning not because I dislike you, but because the injuries on your face shocked me a little."


    "Wounded?" Gu Yan''er suddenly smiled bitterly, "So young master doesn''t know any medical skills. It seems that I have overestimated young master."


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. Gu Yan''er was already about to cover her face with her veil.


    At the same time, Horned Demon''s voice came from the Divine Palace, "Brat, you don''t understand what nonsense you''re talking about. This girl''s face is not a wound!"


    Lin Tian was even more stunned. Only now did he realize that his previous sentence had made Gu Yan''er disappointed in him.


    She was clearly not injured. When Lin Tian said that she was, Gu Yan''er naturally did not believe him.


    "Then she''s ¡­" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er had already covered her face and was about to leave the room.


    "Her physique is special and looks like a poisonous body. The reason why her face looks like this is because the poison in her body is overflowing." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "Poison Body!" Lin Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. Lin Tian had heard of this type of person with a special physique.


    For example, if a person had a fire spirit body, they could nimbly control fire. Even within their cultivation origin energy, there was fire attribute origin energy that was extremely strong. Moreover, with a heavenly body like this, their cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than an ordinary person''s.


    But it was the first time that Lin Tian had heard of a physique like the Poison Body.


    People who possess a poison body are born with powerful poisons in their bodies. However, due to the differences in their physiques, the poison powers that each person can withstand are also different. There are some people who possess a poison body, but their physiques are still able to withstand the poison. Hornless explained.


    "Of course, there are some who have excessively high levels of poison within their bodies. However, if their physiques are unable to withstand the poison, it would be a disaster for someone with a natural poison body like Gu Yan''er."


    "You''re saying that the poison in her body is extremely terrifying, reaching the point where her physique can''t handle it, so the scars on her face were caused by the poison breaking out of her body?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "You can also think of it that way."


    "Is there a way to treat it?" Lin Tian asked.


    "Since I know the cause, I naturally have a way." Horned Demon replied with certainty after thinking for a moment.


    "Then it''ll be easy." Lin Tian directly called out to Gu Yan''er, who was about to leave, then said: "Miss, I have a way to treat her."


    "Young master, don''t say anymore. I don''t even know why my face turned into this, and you still dare to say that you saved me. I''ve already chosen to believe you once, do you want to lie to me a second time?" Gu Yan''er coldly said.


    "Lady doesn''t have to trust me, but I''m afraid it won''t be long before all of lady''s body becomes like this. When the poison dies, the losses will not be worth it ¡­" Lin Tian faintly said.


    However, Gu Yan''er suddenly turned her head and asked Lin Tian in anticipation: "Young Master, you really do know my cause!"


    Just now, the words "died from poison" caused Gu Yan''er to regain her confidence.


    Lin Tian wasn''t lying to her. Lin Tian actually knew her face because of poison!


    Previously, Gu Yan''er had sought out countless doctors, and the pill refiners had specially seen his face. Unfortunately, it was to no avail. All they knew was that Gu Yan''er''s face was caused by poison, but none of them could cure it.


    Gu Yan''er''s family was not small, and could be considered a first-rate family in the Heavenly Thunder City. It was a pity, though, that although they had a poisonous girl, the Gu family was helpless to do anything about it.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "Young lady''s face is entirely caused by the poison in her body. If my guess is correct, young lady should have a one in a million special physique, poison body."


    "However, the poison in your body is too dense, causing you to be unable to withstand the poison in your body. That is why you are trapped in this place." Lin Tian repeated what Horned Demon had just said to Gu Yan''er.


    "Is there any way to treat it?" Gu Yan''er could not help but ask.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    It was simple, it was either to change Gu Yan''er''s physique and allow his physique to adapt to the poison in his body, or to let Gu Yan''er embark on the road of cultivation and specialize in poison arts. She was born with a poison body, so training in poison arts was naturally more appropriate.


    Lin Tian naturally chose the first method.


    The second method was naturally the best, but he did not have any secret manuals or techniques to cultivate poison techniques, so he was naturally unable to teach her. Also, because of this, it would take too long for Lin Tian to leave the Heavenly Thunder City, so he naturally would not choose the second method.


    The first method was much simpler. Changing the physique, Lin Tian still had experience. His blood was a natural medicine that could change the physique.


    Zhang Yi was an existence that could not cultivate and lacked talent, but was turned into a genius by Lin Tian''s blood.


    Using his own blood to change Gu Yan''er''s physique shouldn''t be too difficult.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate. He turned around and gently cut his palm. Blood constantly flowed out and Lin Tian refined the water vapor in his blood before condensing it into red pills.


    There were a total of ten pills. These pills were enough to transform Gu Yan''er''s physique into that of an absolute genius. At that time, she would be able to resist the poison in her body and the scars on her face would naturally be completely healed.


    Lin Tian handed the pills to Gu Yan''er: "Take these ten pills ten times, one at a time. But mind, the time interval is not too short, it will take at least three days."


    "These pills can cure the scars on my face?" Gu Yan''er did not quite believe him.


    "If young lady doesn''t believe me, you can take one here and give it a try. But I don''t mind young lady trying it here ¡­" Lin Tian hesitated for a while before persuading her.


    "Why?" Gu Yan''er was puzzled.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but he still truthfully told her the reason.


    Changing one''s physique was originally a very painful thing, and it was very possible that abnormal situations would occur in the middle, so it required someone to watch over them. However, Lin Tian and Gu Yan''er were not able to.


    Last time, Zhang Yi was naked for the rest of her life due to the heat. As a man, Zhang Yi was fine, but Lin Tian and Gu Yan''er were different men and women, so they had to consider this matter.


    Moreover, after the transformation, layers of filth would flow out of the body and the body would emit an extremely unpleasant aura.


    In such a large crowd, doing such a thing was not an honorable thing.


    After Gu Yan''er heard Lin Tian''s words, she immediately smiled: "This is easy to handle. I have a maid with me and the Clear Pavilion also has a room. I would like to trouble young master to wait here for a moment. Once I''ve tested the effects of this pill, I will give you the egg."


    Lin Tian nodded his head. Although modifying the physique required a bit of time, Lin Tian had to take that egg no matter what, so he didn''t care about this bit of time.


    Gu Yan''er gently smiled before leaving the room, explaining to Ma Feng before leaving.


    Everyone was puzzled. They also didn''t know what Lin Tian and Gu Yan''er did in the room, and in the end, Gu Yan''er didn''t say who the egg belonged to.


    Everyone was here to watch the show, so they didn''t say anything. However, the man in black robe was different. He also wanted the egg.


    After seeing Gu Yan''er leave without taking the egg with her, the black cloaked person impatiently shouted towards Lin Tian''s room: "Kid, what did you guys say just now? Also, what do we do with the egg?"


    "Of course this egg is mine." Lin Tian impolitely replied.


    The ten pills were all formed from Lin Tian''s blood essence, so Lin Tian had to obtain this egg.


    "You can cure her face?" The black robed man''s voice immediately became gloomy.


    "That''s none of your business." Lin Tian coldly snorted and no longer said anything.


    "Lin Tian, Lin Tian." At this moment, an anxious voice was suddenly heard.


    The black-robed man wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the shout.


    Lin Tian, who was in the room, was slightly startled. Then, he was slightly surprised. This was Li Wan''er''s voice.


    "Did something happen?" Lin Tian immediately rushed out the door. Not far away, he saw Li Wan''er quickly rushing towards him.


    "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian pulled Li Wan''er over and asked.


    "Mother ¡­" They... They''ve surrounded my house! " Li Wan''er said incoherently in front of Lin Tian.


    The corners of her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.


    At first, Lin Tian didn''t understand, but his heart suddenly stopped. He knew: "Li family, something happened!"

 C78

    He didn''t have time to explain too much, so Lin Tian directly grabbed Li Wan''er and dashed out of the Clear Pavilion. On the way, Li Wan''er told him everything that had just happened.


    It turned out that at the same time Lin Tian and Li Wan''er arrived at the Clear Pavilion, the Li family was completely surrounded by the other powers of the Heavenly Thunder City.


    Within the Skythunder City, there were six major powers: the Li Clan, Liu Clan, and Zhang Clan. The three major clans, the Clear Pavilion, the Skythunder King Manor, and the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Company.


    These six major powers were either rich or powerful, and they were all existences that could shake the entire Skythunder City.


    Today, the other major powers of the Skythunder City ¡ª the members of the Skythunder King Manor, Scarlet Wolf, Zhang Clan, and Liu Clan ¡ª were all gathered in front of the Li Clan''s gate.


    The reason was simple, it was all because of the dead Li Yuanjie.


    Back then, in order to become the Li family''s Patriarch, Li Yuanjie did not hesitate to lay down layers of schemes and abduct Madame Li. Back then, in order to become the Li family''s Patriarch, Li Yuanjie did not hesitate to lay down layers of schemes and abduct Madam Li.


    Not only that, he had also invited the other five powers, including the head of the Clear Profound Pavilion, Ma Feng, to support his successor during the ceremony.


    Of course, there was a price to be paid for supporting the clan, such as the business of the Li Clan.


    The Li Family had monopolized the pill business for many years, and was the richest out of the six powers.


    Naturally, this attracted the jealousy of everyone. Li Yuanjie acted on his own accord and gave some of the Li family''s properties and streets to the other powers to gain their support.


    The other great powers naturally enjoyed this. Other than Ma Feng who refused, the other great powers all agreed.


    But before Li Yuanjie''s successor''s great ceremony began, Lin Tian had brought Li Wan''er and Madame Li back. Lin Tian had even killed Li Yuanjie and allowed Madame Li to regain control of the Li family.


    However, the other great powers didn''t want to do it anymore. They had all come to ask for the property that Li Yuanjie had promised.


    Li Yuanjie had already given away half of the Li family''s property, so how could Madam Li agree? However, once she refused, the people from the several great powers surrounded the main gate of the Li family estate and did not leave.


    Li Wan''er had just received the news and immediately went to find Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian laughed coldly in his heart: "This is taking advantage of the situation. Right now, there aren''t any top experts in the Li family. They are naturally bullying Li Wan''er, her mother, and her widowed mother."


    Moreover, from the looks of it now, these few great powers should have coveted the business of the Li family for a long time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to find an opportunity and not let it go.


    What did Li Yuanjie''s promise have to do with Madam Li? It was just an excuse.


    Lin Tian and Li Wan''er flew all the way back to the Li family estate.


    In front of the Li Clan''s gate were all martial cultivators.


    The leader of the Skythunder King''s Manor, Luo Tianyue, came with his men.


    Heavenly Thunder City''s structure was the same as Sky Dragon City, the Prince was the city lord and they were the city guards.


    Luo Tianyue''s strength was around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. As the commander of the Heavenly Thunder Guards, he was already considered a first-rate expert.


    The team of Heavenly Thunder Guards that he led were all above the eighth level of Qi Cultivating Stage. They could be considered as top elites of the Heavenly Thunder Guards.


    The people next to the Heavenly Thunder Guards were the members of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries. Their leader was the vice leader of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries, Wolf Formless Shadow.


    The name of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries came from the surnames of these two captains, Scarlet Inferno and Wolf Shadow.


    Lang Wuying''s strength was at least around the eighth level of Qi Sea. Lin Tian could feel the aura from Lang Wuying''s body was extremely terrifying. The aura from his body was just like a vicious wolf, giving people a sense of pressure.


    The people Lang Shao had brought with him were even more powerful. Many of them were at Qi Disciple level 9. Presumably, they were the top mercenaries within the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries.


    The Zhang Clan was in the refining business, and its financial resources were one of the top in the entire Li Clan.


    The person leading the group at this moment was the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Liang.


    Zhang Liang''s strength was also around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Although he couldn''t compare to Lang Wuyou, he was at the same level of strength as Luo Tianyue. For a family of business, with such strength from the head of the family, it could be considered not weak.


    As for the Liu Family, the Liu Family was involved in the trade, which was the transportation of goods and materials. The Liu Family had a complete monopoly over all the essential materials that the common people needed, such as salt and iron.


    The head of the Liu family, Liu Tianming, was also around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. His strength was the same as Zhang Liang and Luo Tianyue.


    At this moment, there were over a hundred men from the four great powers, all of them at the fifth level of Qi Cultivating Stage and above. They completely surrounded the Lee family. This clearly showed that this was not going to be a good thing.


    The only thing he had to pay attention to was the strength of Lang Wuying, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm. It would be difficult for Lin Tian to fight him head on, but he was not too worried about the remaining sixth level Qi Hai warriors. With his current strength, even if he was at the third level of the Qi Hai realm, he could still fight against those who were at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    At this moment, all of the Li family''s martial arts experts had also been dispatched to stand in front of the Li family''s gate.


    Madame Li stood at the front and stared fixedly at the Li family members that were eyeing the Li family members covetously.


    The war between the two sides was about to begin.


    Lin Tian did not anxiously stand out. He wanted to see how Lady Li would face the situation in front of her.


    It was at this moment that the chief commander of the Heavenly Thunder Guards, Luo Tianyue, spoke up to Madam Li.


    "Madam Li, have you decided yet? We are not unreasonable people, so if you follow our agreement, everything will be fine. We will immediately disperse and not make things difficult for you, but if you do not keep your promise, then don''t blame us for not showing mercy!"


    "Humph, whoever gave you the promise, you go find who, I didn''t give you the promise, why are you looking for me!" Madame Li shouted at the crowd in anger.


    "Look, I was just saying, this bitch has a stubborn temper, so why waste her time talking to her? If she doesn''t keep her promise, we''ll destroy their Li family, and then we''ll split the assets equally. How nice would that be!" Hearing Madame Li''s words, Liu Tianming immediately became impatient. He couldn''t help but complain to Zhang Liang.


    They had already been surrounding the place for several hours, but Madame Li had yet to speak up to fulfill Li Yuanjie''s promise. From the looks of it, if they didn''t see the blood today, this bitch really wouldn''t give in.


    "Madam Li, if you refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit, then don''t blame us for being impolite." He had already lost his patience. With a slight wave of his hand, the members of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries immediately charged forward.


    Just as an intense battle was about to begin.


    The members of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Group suddenly felt a chill behind their backs, and one by one, the mercenaries fell to the ground.


    The moment they fell to the ground, bloody holes appeared in their foreheads.


    Before long, half of the thirty plus members of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Group had fallen.


    Blood immediately dyed the ground red.


    At this moment, everyone turned their heads in surprise and only then did they discover that there was a person holding a spear behind them.


    At this moment, that person''s face was ice-cold. He then coldly spat out a sentence, "The four great powers have joined together to bully a widowed mother and an orphaned child. It''s truly a waste for both of you to live ¡­"


    "Who are you!" Lang Wuying''s face instantly turned ice-cold.


    One shot, just now this brat had used one shot, and instantly killed seven or eight 8th layer Qi Cultivating Stage mercenaries!


    Such strength should be at least at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    "Lin Tian!" Lin Tian softly opened his mouth and gently wiped the blood off a corpse. He then pulled Li Wan''er in front of Madam Li.


    Lin Tian nodded at Madam Li, then turned around and said to the crowd: "If you don''t want to die, then scram. If you want to die, then stay here like them!"


    "Lin Tian!" Luo Tianyue suddenly exclaimed, "You''re the one who killed King Yongan, Luo Lie!"


    Luo Tian Yue had naturally heard of the name Lin Tian. Of course, only he knew that, because the Tian Luo Royal Family had long since known that Lin Tian had killed Luo Lie. Furthermore, the Tian Luo Royal Family had already informed all of the Luo Family''s princes.


    The reason why Luo Tianyue knew about this was because Luo Kaishan had told him about it.


    It was just that at that time, Luo Kaishan seemed to be joking and Luo Tianyue didn''t take it to heart. However, after hearing Lin Tian''s name, Luo Tianyue immediately thought of this matter.


    "Hiss!" Everyone immediately looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. They couldn''t believe that the kid in front of them had actually killed the Yongan King next door!


    That was an Aurous Core stage expert!


    He was only at the Qi Hai realm, not even at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. How could he kill Luo Lie who was at the Gold Core realm?!


    Lang Wuying was also somewhat surprised. However, the bloodthirsty look on his face immediately concealed his surprise.


    Interesting. Since you''ve killed King Yongan, I believe it won''t be long before you''re wanted by the entire city. Since I''ve obtained your reward, your head should be worth a lot!


    "Then you should still be alive to take it." Lin Tian coldly smiled and then said to Lang Wuying: "That''s right, just now at the Clear Pavilion, there was a person called Lang Lie, do you know him ¡­ ¡­"


    "Lang Lie!" Lang Shao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you do to him?!"


    "Nothing, I just couldn''t hold it in and beat him to death." Lin Tian laughed and then said: "You beat him to death with the surname Lang and he with the surname Lang. There shouldn''t be any relationship between the two of you, right?"


    "He''s my cousin." Lang Wuying''s expression suddenly turned dark and fierce: "You actually dared to kill him, then as his big brother, I will have to avenge him."


    "Rest assured, I will let you die in a very orderly fashion!" Lang Wuying growled, his figure suddenly moved, his speed was extremely fast, in a blink of an eye he was already in front of Lin Tian.


    His hands turned into claws as he viciously clawed at Lin Tian. The overflowing Essence Qi combined with Lang Wuying''s claw was simply a fatal strike.


    "That''s right, you are much stronger than your younger cousin. Therefore, I have decided to grant you the same method of death!" Lin Tian''s figure faintly flashed, dodging Lang Wuying''s claw. At the same time, he had also finished accumulating power for his Great Destruction Fist.


    "Great Destiny Fist, Three Styles, Broken Stars!" Lin Tian''s first attack was the strongest strike of the Great Destiny Fist, which was also the third move.


    The origin energy rolled out, instantly sweeping towards Lang Shao!

 C79

    "You are looking to die, how dare you, a mere third level Qi Hai warrior, fight against me?" When Lang Wuying saw the fist that Lin Tian had thrown at him, he could not help but taunt him.


    Lang Wuying turned around and clawed at Lin Tian''s fist.


    The two forces heavily collided with each other and Lang Wuying''s figure did not move, but Lin Tian was sent flying by Lang Wuying''s punch.


    He had to take a few steps back to stabilize himself.


    Lang Wuyou laughed out loud, and then turned around to Luo Tian Yue and said: "Great Commander, were you not joking just now? This brat is someone who even I can''t defeat, yet he dares to dream of killing the King Yongan, who has the strength of the Aurous Core stage? "


    Luo Tianyue was also somewhat suspicious. Lin Tian''s strength was indeed only at the third level of the Qi Hai realm. He did not know how Lin Tianhai, who was at the third level of the Qi Hai realm, had killed Luo Lie.


    "Great Destiny Fist, a fist to shatter the heavens and earth." Lin Tian did not pay attention to the ridicule from the two of them. Instead, he once again went forward and threw another punch at Lang Wu Ying.


    "Kid, you don''t have any strength left, right? This punch is even weaker than the one just now." Lang Shao taunted him again.


    He also rushed towards Lin Tian and blasted out a palm.


    The instant the fist and palm collided, Lang Wuying directly sent Lin Tian flying.


    But just as Lang Wuying wanted to take advantage of this situation and rush towards Lin Tian, Lin Tian threw out another punch in the air.


    "Great Destiny Fist, Second Move, Beheading the Sun and the Moon!" The overflowing Essence Qi gathered in Lin Tian''s hand and once again shot towards Lang Wuyou.


    "He still hasn''t given up yet?" Lang Wuying flew into a rage. Lin Tian had exchanged two punches with him in a row and had never obtained any advantage, but right now, he actually did not give up. He still wanted to fight him head on.


    "Since you still haven''t given up, I will fight until you give up." Lang Wuying also once again threw out a punch, directly colliding with Lin Tian''s punch.


    The two fists collided. Without a doubt, Lin Tian was once again sent flying by Lang Wuying''s fist, but Lin Tian was not discouraged.


    Instead, he flew up once more, wanting to clash head on with Lang Wuying.


    "He''s a tough guy." Lang Wuying''s face darkened. He was an existence at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, but he couldn''t even establish an advantage after three consecutive punches. This made it hard for Lang Wuying to accept this.


    Thus, Lang Wuying decided to hold back, and his surging Essence Qi rushed out of his body. Lang Wuying''s Cultivation Method was obviously not an ordinary Cultivation Method, and the Essence within his body was filled with a blood-red light, filled with killing intent.


    "Sky Wolf Palm!" Under the control of Lang Shadow, the vigorous crimson red Yuan Qi instantly transformed into an incomparably huge palm.


    That palm was like a wolf claw as it crazily charged at Lin Tian.


    Facing such a powerful claw, Lin Tian acted as if he did not see it. Instead, he once again gathered all of the Essence in his body and punched out at Lang Wuyou.


    "Great Destiny Fist, third move, Broken Stars!"


    Lin Tian unexpectedly directly faced Lang Wuying''s claw attack.


    Everyone looked at Lin Tian with a face full of shock. This brat did not care about his life, he actually wanted to fight Lang Wuying head on.


    Lin Tian threw out a total of four punches, but every punch landed on Lang Wuying''s body. However, Lang Wuying acted as if nothing had happened.


    In other words, the strength of the four fists that Lin Tian had thrown was not even enough for Lang Wuying.


    However, when this punch was thrown out, it was somewhat different.


    Lang Wuying suddenly felt that Lin Tian''s fist was much stronger than his previous several punches, and much stronger as well.


    It was as if Lin Tian had gathered all his power into this one punch.


    Lin Tian''s gaze was cold as he looked at Lang Wuying. This punch was the exact moment of Lang Wuying''s death.


    Lin Tian had now thoroughly practiced the Great Fortune Fist to its limit.


    Lin Tian discovered that the Great Manifestation Fist''s power wasn''t limited to just the fist strength, but also the moves.


    Previously, Lin Tian did not think too much about it. Due to the limits of his strength and cultivation, he had never paid attention to this problem, but now that Lin Tian had discovered it, the connection between the three moves of the Great Fortune Fist was abnormally close.


    Moreover, the three moves were very consistent. Only by continuously using these three moves would the power become stronger and stronger. Finally, the power of the three moves was completely combined and the power was almost ten times stronger than when the three moves were used alone.


    This was also the reason why Lang Wuying suddenly felt that Lin Tian''s fist had become even more powerful.


    It was because of the accumulation of the first two moves that such a change would occur until the third move was completely unleashed.


    But when Lin Tian threw out a punch, Lang Wuying''s Heavenly Wolf Hand also directly grabbed at Lin Tian with a loud bang.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were cold. He did not care about that claw at all and used his own body to meet it head on. At the same time, the third style of the Great Destiny Fist also completely landed on Lang Wuying''s body.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" The collision between the two of them was extremely intense.


    Lang Wuying''s Heavenly Wolf Hand had thoroughly smashed onto Lin Tian''s body, but Lang Wuying was shocked to discover that his claw unexpectedly did not cause any substantial damage to Lin Tian. When his claw grabbed onto Lin Tian''s body, it was as if it had grabbed onto a steel plate.


    If it was an ordinary person, then that claw from Lang Wuying could have easily pierced through a person''s body.


    But Lin Tian''s physical body was abnormally strong. This was something Lang Wuying had never expected.


    However, although Lang Wuying''s claw did not directly pierce through Lin Tian''s heart, his strength was still far greater than Lin Tian''s.


    The surging Yuan Power on that claw instantly sent Lin Tian flying.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian''s final punch also landed on Lang Wuying''s body.


    Lang Wuyou suddenly felt a strong wave of energy emanating from his body, which was almost unbearable to him.


    He felt his internal organs tremble violently, unable to change his mind.


    But at this time, Lang Wuying surprisingly discovered that Lin Tian had once again charged forward.


    Lin Tian rapidly advanced. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Lang Wuying.


    But halfway through, Lin Tian already shouted out: "Explode, explode, explode!"


    All of a sudden, Lang Wuyou sensed that something was not right, but it was already too late now that he felt that something was not right.


    At this moment, with Lin Tian''s three "explode" words, the hidden strength around his body instantly gathered together. Then, in an instant, a monstrous force exploded out, detonating around his body.


    Ah!" Lang Wuying screamed miserably. His clothes were torn apart and his skin was covered in numerous wounds. It looked extremely horrifying.


    This was where the power of the Great Creation Fist lay. The power of the fist power, in silence, had already concealed itself in the mountain around Lang Wuying''s body, waiting for Lin Tian to find a suitable time to detonate.


    After Lin Tian ignited the fist force of the Great Destiny Fist, the Spirit power in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace also instantly moved.


    His overflowing Spirit Power was like the great river or the great ocean as it directly rushed at Lang Shao.


    Just as Lang Wuying was surrounded by the pain of the fist energy explosion from the Great Destiny Fist, he suddenly felt dizzy in his sea of consciousness.


    "This is ¡­" Lang Wuyou was stunned for a moment.


    But Lin Tian also wanted this moment. Even though it was only a short moment, it was enough for him to do a lot of things.


    The Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand immediately let out a long hiss before suddenly moving out.


    The Essence in Lin Tian''s body wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear. In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear was wrapped with a monstrous amount of Essence. In that instant, it turned into a long green dragon and pierced towards Lang Wuying''s chest.


    At this moment, Lang Shao had just recovered from his dizziness. However, it was already too late for him to regain his senses.


    Lin Tian''s spear had already pierced Lang Wuying''s chest.


    Lang Wuying stared at Lin Tian, his eyes were filled with disbelief: "Impossible, you, you''re actually a Symbol Master!"


    With that said, everyone was shocked. Everyone had faces of disbelief as they stared at Lin Tian.


    Symbol Master, this kid is actually a Symbol Master?


    A large hole had appeared in his chest, and blood was gushing out non-stop.


    However, Lang Wuying was still an eighth level Qi Hai warrior after all. After Lin Tian displayed his skill, he would have no more moves to use, so he only severely injured Lang Wuying. With Lin Tian''s original strength, it would be impossible for him to kill Lang Wuying.


    To be able to severely injure him was already not bad, but even if it was just severely injuring Lang Wuying, it was enough to shock everyone.


    A third level Qi Hai warrior had actually injured Lang Wuying, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, badly!


    This was simply unbelievable.


    Lang Wuying clutched at his chest wound, gnashing his teeth at a mercenary from the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries behind him, "What are you still standing around for, go find the captain ¡­"


    The mercenary immediately ran away.


    Li Wan''er and Madame Li immediately became anxious. If they let the mercenary go find the Raging Flames, Lin Tian would be in danger.


    Scarlet Flames was an Aurous Core stage expert, which was a completely different concept from the Qi Hai realm.


    Lin Tian could injure Lang Wuying, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, but he definitely couldn''t beat Scarlet Inferno, who was at the Aurous Core stage.


    Lin Tian naturally knew of this, but he was already powerless to stop it.


    Lin Tian had already used most of his strength in the battle with Lang Wuying just now, and most of the Essence in his body had also been used up.


    He consumed several top tier medicinal pills that the Li family had prepared for him and the whirlpool in his dantian began to madly circulate. The medicinal energy that entered Lin Tian''s body was converted into Essence and only then was Lin Tian''s expression a lot better.


    However, he didn''t dare to make a move now. There were still three sixth level Qi Hai warriors beside him.


    If he fought one of them, Lin Tian was absolutely confident he could kill any one of the three.


    But for the three of them, Lin Tian didn''t have enough strength.


    Everyone could see Lin Tian''s current situation. However, because of the identity of Lin Tian''s Symbol Master that Lang Wuying had mentioned, no one dared to act rashly.


    However, at this moment, a monstrous roar suddenly came from not far away, "Who is it? Who killed my Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Company''s men?!"


    Lin Tian''s heart suddenly sank: "Crimson Fire, you''ve finally arrived!"

 C80

    Lin Tian was most worried about this right now. He used the Great Fortune Fist to accumulate all the fist energy and detonated it, then he used his mental energy to affect his enemy''s Sea of Consciousness, and then he defeated this move. Facing an existence at the Qi Hai level, he could only barely handle it, but dealing with an Aurous Core stage expert was completely impossible.


    Because if Lin Tian wanted to use this move, there was a limit. That was, his body could withstand the opponent''s attack.


    For example, just now, Lang Wuying. Although his strength was higher than Lin Tian by a full five stages, Lin Tian''s physical body could completely withstand it.


    Lang Wuying''s one punch had killed Lin Tian, but it was also very difficult for him to injure Lin Tian so Lin Tian was able to continuously attack with the Great Destiny Fist to accumulate strength.


    Finally, he found a suitable opportunity and detonated it. In the end, he mobilized his mind energy to affect Lang Wuying''s Sea of Consciousness. Finally, he used the Dragon Scale Spear and completed the final fatal strike.


    All of this was natural.


    However, he couldn''t go against a Golden Core Stage expert. His physical body wouldn''t be able to withstand it. A Golden Core Stage expert would already be able to convert his elemental energy into elemental energy and increase his attacking power by more than ten times compared to a Qi Hai warrior.


    If Lin Tian wanted to withstand a punch from a Golden Core Stage expert, even if Lin Tian didn''t die, he would still be skinned alive.


    Back then, the reason Lin Tian was able to kill Luo Lie was because Xiao Yunhai had already expended more than half of Luo Lie''s strength.


    It was the equivalent of Luo Lie using around thirty percent of his usual strength to fight with Lin Tian.


    Even so, Lin Tian still suffered some injuries in the end.


    The Scarlet Inferno this time was coming, but at its peak, although Lin Tian''s Essence was rapidly recovering, he was definitely not a match for it.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became more and more worried. He never would have thought that the Li family would suddenly have so many unforeseen events.


    Li Wan''er and Madame Li''s faces were ashen. Now that the Raging Inferno was here, they were even more at a loss of what to do.


    "Mother, what do we do now?" Li Wan''er was so anxious that she was about to cry. She didn''t want Lin Tian to die like this.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t let anything happen to Lin Tian. Worse comes to worse, I''ll just give up half my business ¡­" Madame Li was also extremely anxious, but she could barely maintain her calm appearance.


    "It''s too late now. Even if we give up our family property, Crimson Flame won''t let this go easily." Lin Tian sighed.


    When he had been in the Clear Pavilion, he hadn''t left any face for Crimson Flame. In front of Crimson Flame, he had beaten Lang Lie to death. This had already humiliated him.


    Moreover, what was even more crucial was that Lin Tian had just killed seven or eight of the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Company''s top mercenaries and heavily injured Lang Wuying. This contradiction was already irreconcilable.


    As expected, as soon as the scarlet fire arrived, it saw the scattered corpses of mercenaries and the wolf who was clutching its chest.


    "What''s going on?" Scarlet Flame walked in front of Lang Wuying and asked in a deep voice.


    Lang Wuying pointed at Lin Tian and said to the raging flames: "Big brother, you have to take revenge for me. This brat killed Lang Lie, hurt me, and even killed many of our top mercenaries!"


    Scarlet Flame raised his head and looked at Lin Tian. His eyes instantly narrowed: "It''s you again!"


    "Captain Chi, we meet again." Lin Tian said with a cold smile.


    "Lin Tian, you''re called Lin Tian right? What do you want to say about this matter?" The raging inferno forcefully suppressed its anger.


    He could already recognize this kid as the one who had beaten and beaten Lang Lie to death in front of him.


    However, what caused Crimson Fire to be surprised was not this, but the attitude of Ma Feng when he was at the Clear Pavilion.


    At that time, Ma Feng was willing to pay the price of offending him to save this brat.


    Although Crimson Flame was extremely angry at that time, he still knew what was more important.


    What Scarlet Inferno did not understand the most was that, what kind of background did this guy have, to actually have Ma Feng stand up for him.


    "Big brother, why are you wasting words with a useless person? Just kill him. However, you must be careful, this boy is a Symbol Master ¡­" Lang Wuying reminded.


    "Oh, so it''s a Symbol Master." Crimson Flame immediately understood. No wonder Ma Feng had come out to protect him. It was all because he was a Charm Magician.


    Ma Feng was a Symbol Master, this was understandable.


    Lin Tian''s face was indifferent as he said to the red inferno: "What do you want to say?"


    You hurt my brother, so I will naturally hurt you as well. For the sake of Master Ma, I will not kill you, but the Li family will give me twice the compensation for the Scarlet Wolf''s actions. The matter of you hurting my brother and the person who killed my Scarlet Wolf is one thing, but if not, then I will not care about your status. Scarlet Fire roared at Lin Tian.


    "What arrogant words! Today, let''s see who dares to touch him!" At this moment, an explosive shout came from the sky not far away.


    Lin Tian and the others were slightly startled, but after a moment, Lin Tian suddenly reacted. Why did this voice sound so familiar?


    In the next moment, a person suddenly flew over from not too far away. He leaped into the air and instantly arrived in front of everyone.


    Lin Tian looked at that person and immediately felt a wave of ecstasy in his heart. The person in front of him was actually the great uncle he had just recognized, Ling Tian Lie!


    He was also Xiao Yunhai''s eldest senior brother. Back then, he had brought his disciple, Ling Wushuang, to the illusory dragon gate.


    But hadn''t he, the great master, already returned to the Azure Province Academy? Why did he suddenly appear here?


    Lin Tian didn''t even have the time to ask when Ling Tian Lie once again roared out: "Just now, who was it that said he wanted to harm this junior nephew of mine, and even wanted him to leave his life behind!"


    "He''s still young. How about we just let him go and take away my old bones'' lives?" Ling Tianlie''s gaze swept across the crowd. After which, his body suddenly exploded forth with a monstrous strength that instantly enveloped everyone.


    "Star River Realm!" At this moment, Crimson Flame cried out in alarm. He could already feel the strength of this person in front of him, he was actually a Star River Realm expert!


    Crimson Flame immediately felt his scalp go numb. This boy, there was actually a Star River realm powerhouse behind him!


    "Elder Ling, why have you come?" At that moment, Luo Tianyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.


    "Who are you? You actually know this old man''s name! " Ling Tianlie''s eyes were filled with surprise as he looked around at Luo Tianyue.


    Luo Tianyue immediately became excited, "You really are Elder Ling, Elder Ling, don''t you remember me? I, Little Yue Zi!"


    "Little Yue Zi?" Ling Tian Lie was still doubtful. After looking at Luo Tian Yue for a long time, he shook his head, "I''m too old to remember. Who is your master?"


    "My master is the Luo Kai Mountain King of the Heavenly Thunder City ¡­" Luo Tian Yue immediately said dejectedly: "Many years ago, when you came to the Heavenly Thunder City to select the disciples to cultivate in the Azure Province, you were staying in the Heavenly Thunder Palace. I served you then, and you even gave me some pointers.


    "Now that I say it like that, I do have a bit of an impression of him ¡­" Ling Tian Lie shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter. Instead, he walked in front of Lin Tian and asked: "Tian''er, what''s going on?"


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and told Ling Tianlie everything that had just happened in detail.


    "Good, good fight, good kill!" After Ling Tianlie heard this, he immediately applauded. Of course, this was for the sake of Lin Tian killing the Scarlet Wolf Mercenaries and injuring Lang Wuying.


    Ling Tian Lie saw that Lin Tian''s expression was a little off. He grabbed Lin Tian''s arm and placed it on his pulse.


    "You dare injure my Tian''er!" Ling Tianlie''s face immediately flushed red, "You''re really courting death!"


    The next moment, Ling Tianlie had already turned around and struck out a palm towards the raging inferno.


    Scarlet Inferno never expected that Ling Tian Lie would suddenly attack him. He did not even have time to react as he hastily struck out with his palm to meet Ling Tian Lie''s palm.


    However, in the next moment, Crimson Flame''s figure was sent flying. He somersaulted a few times in the air and finally fell not far away. He violently vomited a mouthful of blood and was on the verge of death.


    With a single palm strike, Ling Tian Lie had actually managed to send the Aurous Core stage raging flames flying. The power of that palm strike was extremely terrifying. Even if the raging flames did not die, they would at least be severely injured.


    Everyone was stunned on the spot. No one had expected Ling Tianlie to attack so suddenly, not holding back a single shred of face.


    At this moment, Lang Wuying also discovered that something was not right. Just as he was about to cover his chest with his hands and escape, Ling Tian Lie''s palm had already shot towards him.


    "Boom boom!" The power of that palm attack landed on Lang Wuying''s body, and actually blasted him into smithereens.


    Lang Wuying''s body exploded in mid-air, turning into a rain of blood.


    Everyone was scared to the point that their legs turned soft. So this was a Star River Realm expert? His strength was actually so terrifying. With just a wave of his hand, he could kill an expert that they thought was almost invincible.


    Especially the Zhang Clan and Liu Clan Patriarchs. At this moment, they were incomparably thankful that they did not take part in the battle. Otherwise, they would have been the ones turned into meat paste.


    "Xiao Yue Zi, right? Go and call that bastard Luo Kai Shan here for me, I will give you a quarter of an hour. If you can''t call him out, I will annihilate your Heavenly Thunder Palace!" Ling Tian Lie turned around and roared at Luo Tian Yue.


    "Yes ¡­" "Yes!" Luo Tianyue was also extremely frightened. He didn''t dare to waste any more time as he crazily rushed towards the Royal Mansion.


    Everyone stared blankly at Ling Tianlie, not daring to even breathe loudly.


    After that, he took out a medicinal pellet from his chest pocket and gave it to Lin Tian with some heartache: "This is the Jade Dew Pellet, it was refined by one of the top alchemists in our Cyan Plains Academy. The healing effect is very good, and I don''t have many pellets for Senior Martial Uncle."


    Lin Tian did not become bashful and directly grabbed the pill and directly swallowed it. Just as the pill entered his throat, Lin Tian felt an extremely pure medicinal strength instantly flood into his body.


    The overflowing medicinal strength rapidly restored the injuries Lin Tian''s body had just suffered.


    The medicinal effect of this Jadeite Pellet was indeed terrifying. However, in a moment, it had completely recovered the injuries that Lin Tian had suffered earlier.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "Uncle Master, why did you come to this Heavenly Thunder City?"


    "I came specifically to find you, kid." Ling Tianlie''s words shocked everyone.

 C81

    Lin Tian was startled as he looked at Ling Tianlie with a puzzled expression. ''Uncle Master is actually here specifically to look for me?'' But how did he know that Lin Tian had come to this Heavenly Thunder City?


    Ling Tianlie gave a slight smile and said: "You little brat actually dared to kill Luo Lie. You are truly bold. Those are the people from the imperial clan ¡­"


    When Lin Tian heard that Ling Tianlie''s tone did not contain the slightest bit of complaint, and even had a faint appreciative tone, Lin Tian knew that not only would this Great Master not disapprove of him killing Luo Lie, he would even support him.


    Sure enough, Ling Tianlie continued: "But since that bastard Luo Lie killed him, I''ll just kill him. Teacher Bo Li will support you to the end. This time, it''s your master who will personally write to ask me how I''m going to resolve this matter."


    "Senior, do you have a way to solve this?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    To be able to kill a duke personally conferred by the Tian Luo Royal Family, this could be considered a small matter. To be honest, Lin Tian didn''t have any confidence at all.


    "Of course, it isn''t any big thing. After you are selected by the Azure Province School and become a student of the Azure Province School, that matter can be considered to be understood." Ling Tianlie smiled at Lin Tian.


    "It''s that simple?" Lin Tian was in disbelief.


    "Of course. However, the person that the Azure Province academy sent this time has very strong strength. The goal is to check if you really have the qualifications to enter the Azure Province Academy." He then continued, "Furthermore, I''ve already investigated and found out that you killed Luo Lie. The royal family of Tian Luo Empire already knows about it, but now that the king has gone into closed door cultivation, he has handed over all the authority to the First Prince. It''s just that this Luo Lie is part of the Second Prince''s faction.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian thought in his heart. The reason the master said he was looking for trouble was obviously to comfort Lin Tian''s heart. In reality, if Lin Tian had guessed correctly, it definitely wasn''t as simple as looking for trouble with him. It was very possible that he had come to kill him.


    But since he knew that becoming a student of the Azure Province Academy could avoid this difficulty, no matter what, Lin Tian had to give it a try.


    Looking at Lin Tian''s expression, Ling Tian could tell that Lin Tian was a little worried. He slightly smiled and said: "Relax, your master and I are both at the Milky Way Realm, and the Second Prince''s aides, no matter how strong they are, they shouldn''t be able to beat the two of us. If the Second Prince really wants to fall out, your master and I will protect you no matter what."


    "Thank you, Uncle Master." Lin Tian was a little touched in his heart. Although he had never met this great uncle before, he truly had done it for him.


    No matter where you go, Tian''er, your talent will always be considered a demon. Martial Uncle, I, and your Master all think highly of you, so you must work even harder to cultivate, because on this continent, you must respect the strong. If your strength is high enough, killing a prince is nothing, and even if you kill the king of Tian Luo Kingdom and become the king, no one would dare say anything. Ling Tianlie sighed and said.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "I will work even harder to cultivate. Don''t worry, Uncle Master."


    "Un, I went to Sky Dragon City to look for you first. I heard from your master that you came to Sky Thunder City, since I have nothing better to do, I came to look for you first." Un, I went to Sky Dragon City to look for you first, hearing from your master that you came to Sky Thunder City. Ling Tianlie smiled and said.


    Lin Tian did not say anything. The unforeseen event that happened in the Heavenly Thunder City was indeed something he did not expect.


    However, since he had promised Li Wan''er, he would do his best to fulfill his responsibility. However, with Ling Tianlie here, resolving this conflict was just a small matter.


    As the two of them were speaking, not far away, Luo Tianyue had returned. This time, he had even brought along Luo Kai Shan, the Heavenly Thunder King of the Thunder City.


    "My lord, my lord." When everyone saw Luo Kai Shan, they immediately bowed and greeted him.


    Luo Kaishan was not in the mood to reply. He quickly walked to Ling Tianlie and half-knelt down before him as he greeted, "Disciple Luo Kaishan greets Ling shi. Ling shi, why have you come?"


    "Heavenly Thunder King, hurry up and get up. My old bones can''t afford the Heavenly Thunder King''s kneeling." Ling Tian Lie had his back facing Luo Kai Shan as he spoke indifferently.


    "My respected master has destroyed his disciple!" Luo Kaishan''s expression changed drastically, repeatedly kowtowing to Ling Tianlie.


    Everyone turned pale with fright. Was this still the Heavenly Thunder King that held the authority to kill in the Heavenly Thunder City? How was he supposed to pay respects to this old man? And why was he even begging for forgiveness?


    Who was this old man?


    Not only was everyone shocked, even Lin Tian was shocked. Could it be that the Heavenly Thunder King and Great Master were old?


    It was unknown how many times Luo Kaishan had knocked on the door before Ling Tianlie finally turned around and softly said, "Alright, get up."


    Luo Kaishan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his chest. He stood up and realized that his forehead had become a bloody mess from the excessive force that had been exerted just now.


    Blood droplets continuously dripped down from Luo Kai Shan''s eyebrows, dyeing half of his face red. However, Luo Kai Shan didn''t even wipe his face.


    Only then did Ling Tianlie snort and ask, "You, tell me what happened?"


    "This disciple really did not know that this little brother was actually Junior Martial Uncle''s disciple."


    When Luo Kaishan heard about this from Luo Tianyue, he couldn''t believe it. He never thought that his own master would actually come.


    However, Ling Tianlie felt that Luo Kaishan''s talent was too poor and did not accept him as an official disciple, and was only a nominal disciple. Later on, when Luo Kaishan''s father passed away, Luo Kaishan inherited the position of Heavenly Thunder King.


    Many years ago, Ling Tianlie had visited the Heavenly Thunder City once. Back then, the Heavenly Thunder City had produced an extraordinary genius, and Ling Tianlie had come to recruit that genius. That was why he had met Luo Kaishan.


    Luo Kaishan had always seen Ling Tianlie as his master and as such, had always treated him as a disciple. The last time Ling Tianlie had come, he had bowed to serve him and had not dared to be negligent in the slightest.


    Thus, when Luo Tianyue told Luo Kaishan about Ling Tianlie''s arrival, he found it hard to believe.


    However, Luo Kaishan also heard from Luo Tian Yue that Ling Tian had killed Lang Wuying for that boy called Lin Tian. Finally, he felt that something was wrong.


    He hurriedly called over the five people whom he had asked to check out Lin Tian''s identity. Only now did he realize that Lin Tian was actually a disciple of Sky Dragon City, Sky Dragon Academy, and Xiao Yunhai, who were next door.


    When Luo Kai Shan heard Xiao Yunhai''s name, he was once again startled, but he immediately remembered.


    Xiao Yunhai, wasn''t he also the teacher of the Azure Province back then? Not only that, he was also his own teacher, Ling Tianlie''s youngest junior.


    Lin Tian was Xiao Yunhai''s disciple, and that was Ling Tianlie''s own martial nephew.


    Ling Tianlie should have come here for Lin Tian.


    Thinking of this, Luo Kai Shan could not sit still any longer. This time, Ling Tian Lie must be here to denounce him for his crimes.


    That was the reason for what happened just now.


    He was only an honorary disciple and was not an official disciple. Although he had offended Lin Tian, he could not let Ling Tian Lie have any opinions about him.


    Luo Kaishan''s face was filled with guilt and self-blame, "My dear teacher, this disciple was extremely wrong. It was my lack of greed that caused this misunderstanding. Furthermore, I nearly injured junior brother."


    "You broke through to the Star River Realm?" Ling Tianlie ignored Luo Kaishan''s remorse and asked.


    "This disciple just recently luckily broke through to the first level of the Star River Realm!" Luo Kaishan hesitated for a moment before he faintly said.


    "No wonder you''re so powerful now. So you''ve already broken through to the Star River realm. It looks like it won''t be long before I, this old man, won''t even be in your eyes anymore ¡­" Ling Tianlie snorted coldly and said.


    "Disciple deserves to die, disciple deserves to die!" Luo Kaishan kneeled down once again in fear, not daring to resist at all.


    "Tell me, how could I have a disciple like you? If it wasn''t for the presence of so many people today, I would have killed you with a single slap!" Ling Tianlie scolded Luo Kaishan angrily, "You should have forgotten what you were taught, right? You''re still the lord of a city. Have you already learned how to be a person!?"


    "Disciple has failed Master." Luo Kai Shan started kowtowing again and again, while wailing in pain.


    However, Luo Kaishan was still somewhat happy in his heart. At least, Ling Tianlie had admitted to being his disciple.


    "Tian, tell me, what should we do about this? In any case, it''s all at the orders of this disappointing bastard." Ling Tian Lie turned around and asked Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled as he said: "Since Senior Luo is still the disciple of Grand Uncle, I will not pursue this matter any further. However, this matter still needs an explanation. Since Senior Luo is here, I will ask Senior Luo to give the Li family''s mother and daughter an explanation."


    Lin Tian naturally saw that this Senior Martial Uncle, Ling Tian Lie, was extremely protective of him. Even though Luo Kai Shan was only an honorary disciple, Ling Tian Lie was not willing to slap Luo Kai Shan to death just because of Lin Tian.


    Furthermore, Luo Kaishan''s idea was not wrong either. The so-called ''the strong is innocent'', the ''weak is the original sin''. Cultivating a dao was originally a plundering.


    Since the Li family was able to make it this far, it was definitely not a clean house. Moreover, the people from the Heavenly Thunder Palace did not attack Lin Tian. Lin Tian naturally did not pursue this matter too deeply, as this was also giving Ling Tianlie face.


    "Did you hear that? Scoundrel, apologize to your junior brother. Then, properly settle this matter. If you don''t handle it properly, I''ll slap you to death!" Ling Tianlie glared viciously at Luo Kaishan and spoke out.


    Luo Kai Shan''s heart thumped as he walked in front of Lin Tian. But before he could say anything, Lin Tian said indifferently: "Senior Brother Luo doesn''t need to apologize to me. I think it''s better if you apologize to the Li family mother and daughter."


    Luo Kaishan was slightly startled, but he immediately arrived in front of the Li family''s mother and daughter: "This time, it''s my fault. Please forgive me, Madam Li."


    Lady Li and Li Wan''er were extremely shocked.


    None of them thought that Lin Tian would actually be so powerful that Luo Kaishan would personally apologize and admit his mistakes.


    Not only that, but more importantly, Luo Kaishan actually dared not to resist and personally came to apologize to them.


    "Your Highness, there''s no need to apologize. I hope that you will forgive us, the orphans and widows, for being in the same city as you." Madam Li was the first to recover as she spoke to Luo Kaishan.


    "Since Madam is so serious, I will definitely give you all a proper explanation for this matter." Luo Kai Shan became even more terrified, afraid that Madame Li would not accept his apology.

 C82

    "Senior brother, how do you plan on resolving this matter?" Lin Tian saw that the atmosphere wasn''t right and directly took over and asked.


    "This ¡­" He also knew what the Li family''s mother and daughter wanted, but at this moment, Ling Tianlie was staring at him. When he was practicing martial arts under Ling Tianlie, he knew too well the temper of his teacher. If he did not satisfy him, Luo Kaishan believed that his teacher would definitely kill him with a single palm strike.


    However, he really didn''t know how to deal with it.


    As he thought of this, Luo Kaishan suddenly turned to Lin Tian, "In junior''s opinion, junior''s opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"


    Lin Tian was stunned. Then, he smiled. This Luo Kaishan actually knew how to kick a ball.


    However, he really wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the Li family''s worries.


    "This, of course it''s easy." Lin Tian faintly smiled.


    "Wishing to hear junior brother''s thoughts." Luo Kai Shan immediately relaxed.


    If Lin Tian said that, then at the very least it proved that this matter could already be considered good.


    "Firstly, you bullied the Li family''s mother and daughter first, and as for gifts and apologies, they should be done first." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "Of course, of course." Luo Kai Shan immediately looked towards Luo Tian Yue and the Zhang family''s Patriarch, Liu Tianming.


    Even the Crimson Blaze, who was confused and confused by Ling Tianlie''s attack just now, was forcefully pulled over.


    Everyone had their heads drooped. They no longer had the same demeanor as before. They all apologized to the Li family mother and daughter.


    "Humph!" Madame Li''s charming face twisted into an ugly expression.


    Everyone immediately felt troubled. They had come to apologize, but the other party didn''t accept it ¡­


    Luo Kai Shan looked to Lin Tian for help.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled: "This is simple. Apologize, apologize. If you don''t apologize, how can I accept?"


    Luo Kaishan understood immediately, and turned to the mother and daughter of the Li family, "As the City Lord of Skythunder City, I have committed a grave mistake. Therefore, in the future, the Li family''s pill business will be exempt from three years of taxes, and I hope that Madam can forgive me."


    Madame Li froze slightly. This ¡­


    This, this seems to be too sudden happiness.


    It was full of tension just a moment ago, and the Lee family was on the verge of annihilation. But now, the Heavenly Thunder King turned around and was about to apologize to them. He even waved his hand, saving them three years of taxes ¡­


    Seeing that Madam Li did not agree immediately, Luo Kaishan thought that this was not enough and gritted his teeth, "Madam, in ten years, I will make the decision to exempt the Li Family from the tax for the next ten years. Furthermore, as long as I, Luo Kaishan, become the City Lord of Skythunder City, I will protect the Li Family for one day, and I will not go back on my word. The Heavenly Thunder Guards can also help the Li Family deliver important goods.


    At this point, Luo Kai Shan''s heart was already bleeding.


    Ten years of tax. Although he was the Heavenly Thunder City Lord, he still had to give the tax to Tian Luo Kingdom. That is to say, the ten years of tax that the Li Clan had lost, he had to pay ¡­


    "This is the best I can do. Madam, please forgive me." Luo Kaishan bowed once again.


    "Ten years!" Li Wan''er opened her mouth in disbelief. Happiness really came too suddenly.


    The person bowing in front of them was the Heavenly Thunder King! The lord of a city, and in front of so many people, he was actually bowing to them!


    Madame Li''s face was also filled with shock, and she was unable to utter a single word for a long while ¡­


    In the end, Lady Li and Li Wan''er finally came back to their senses after hearing Lin Tian''s gentle cough.


    Seeing Lin Tian nod his head, Madam Li relaxed. She then took the spirit tablet from Luo Kaishan''s hands and bowed to him, "In that case, many thanks to Your Highness."


    Luo Kaishan gasped for breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Then, he glared fiercely at Zhang Liang, who was standing behind him.


    Zhang Liang immediately understood. How could he dare to be negligent? He was afraid that Luo Kaishan would blame the ten-year taxes on his Zhang family ¡­


    Madam, I represent the Zhang Family, and I am willing to give up the most prosperous street in the Heavenly Thunder City to the Li Family, and I also promise that I will not touch the medicine business, and I will not provoke the Li Family again. In addition, my Zhang Family is willing to provide the Li Family with a batch of superior weapons every year, which will be used to increase the strength of the Li Family''s guards ¡­ Zhang Liang''s heart was bleeding as he said these words. He had already scolded the eight generations of Luo Kaishan''s ancestors repeatedly in his heart.


    It was Luo Kaishan who had asked everyone to gather in order to cause trouble for the Li Family. But now, something had happened and the Zhang Family had accompanied them in. And they were led by Luo Kaishan!


    Originally, the Zhang Clan was prepared to recruit a batch of alchemists to enter into the pill business, but now, it seemed that they would never do so again. Moreover, the weapons refined by the Zhang Clan were all top-notch, and a batch of weapons refined by the Zhang Clan every year would be of great use to the Li Clan. After all, every piece of Zhang Clan''s weapon was a fine product, and its value was not cheap either, but now, they had to give it to the Li Clan every year.


    Madame Li naturally wouldn''t continue to cause trouble for no reason. She still understood the principle of stopping once and for all.


    At the same time, the master of the Liu family, Liu Tianming, also apologized.


    However, the Liu Clan''s apology was even more special, because the Liu Clan had always been engaged in trade. The so-called trade was actually the transportation of goods. The Liu Clan had always been responsible for transporting essential items, such as salt and iron, to the Heavenly Thunder City.


    The Liu family promised to provide the Li family with materials for ten years free of charge. They would even share their own trading routes and help the Li family expand the pill business.


    The most valuable thing in the Liu family was actually the Liu family''s exclusive trade road to the outside world. If this business road was to be opened to the Li family, then the Li family''s business would surely advance at a tremendous pace.


    As for the Scarlet Wolf Mercenary Group, Crimson Fire had completely given up on his reputation. Not only did he promise not to disturb the Lee family in the future, he also promised to give the top mercenaries of Crimson Wolf the free protection of the Lee family and protect the Lee family for ten years.


    With this, Lady Li and Li Wan''er''s expressions changed.


    They simply couldn''t believe their own eyes. Happiness had truly arrived. And like this, their Li Family''s business would be restored very quickly, and they would even become stronger and stronger. In fact, they might even become the number one clan in the Heavenly Thunder City.


    This was something that Mrs. Li had never dared to think of, but it had all happened today.


    All of this was brought to them by Lin Tian.


    Madam Li and Li Wan''er both looked at Lin Tian. They were so excited that they couldn''t speak.


    Lin Tian faintly smiled and then said to Luo Kaishan: "Senior Brother, that''s right. Look, they have already forgiven you."


    "Then this matter ¡­" Luo Kai Shan asked hesitantly.


    "Isn''t this matter settled just like that? Everyone is happy, right, Mrs. Li? " Lin Tian''s gaze turned towards Madam Li.


    Madame Li nodded. As long as she didn''t take over her family''s wealth, Madame Li was already very satisfied, let alone now when every family gave the Li family such a huge gift. She was already very satisfied.


    "Then this matter shall be resolved ¡­" Lin Tian said with a face full of smiles, but Lin Tian suddenly stared at Luo Kai Shan and said with a deep meaning: "Only, I still hope to be able to do what I have to promise, in a month''s time, if I still haven''t fulfilled my promise in a month, I will come back. My meaning, senior brother, do you understand?"


    "Understood, understood." Luo Kaishan nodded his head, "Don''t worry, little brother. I promise that I will definitely supervise them and fulfill all of their promises within a month."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and then walked in front of Ling Tianlie, praising Luo Kaishan: "Great Master, Senior Brother Luo has done a good job. Please forgive him once. Senior Brother is extremely respectful to you."


    "Humph!" Ling Tianlie then walked up to Luo Kaishan and said to him, "You''re just lucky. For your junior brother''s sake, I''ll let you off this time. If there''s a next time, I''ll definitely cripple you!"


    "Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, teacher. Thank you, junior brother." Luo Kai Shan immediately bowed.


    "You''ve already stepped into the Star River Realm, so you can be considered to have some talent. Today, you will be given your title, and in the future, you will be my disciple. In the process of cultivation, if you encounter any difficulties, go to the Azure Province and run away. This old man will ask more about it, it would be better than having a car built behind closed doors."


    As soon as Ling Tianlie said this, Luo Kaishan was stunned. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said emotionally, "My dear master, my dear master, you''re taking me in as your disciple! Is this true? "


    "You still call me teacher?" Ling Tianlie''s gaze instantly turned cold.


    Luo Kaishan immediately corrected himself, "Master, thank you very much!"


    Lin Tian looked at the scene in front of him and silently said: "As expected, this great master of mine is very protective. This time, he actually directly accepted Luo Kai Shan as an official disciple."


    But like this, Lin Tian didn''t have to worry about the Li family anymore.


    With Luo Kaishan protecting them, there naturally wouldn''t be any big problems.


    "Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother. You''ve been officially acknowledged by Master Uncle." Lin Tian also congratulated Luo Kaishan.


    Luo Kaishan clasped his hands at Lin Tian and said with a sincere tone: "This time, it all depends on Junior Brother. Senior Brother will pay his respects here, thank you Junior Brother!"


    Luo Kai Shan''s voice was filled with sincerity, without any falsehood. This also caused Lin Tian''s impression of him to change a bit.


    Lin Tian was about to say something when suddenly, a shout came from nearby: "Sir Lin, Sir Lin."


    Lin Tian turned around and discovered that it was Gu Yan''er who was at the Clear Pavilion.


    Currently, Gu Yan''er was still wearing her veil and the servant behind her was rushing towards Lin Tian with an egg in her arms.


    Only now did Lin Tian remember that she was treating his injuries, but the matter of the Li family was too urgent. Lin Tian did not bother about it, as Gu Yan''er''s visit this time was definitely due to the effect of his blood pill.


    Lin Tian began to look forward to it. He had spent ten of his own blood balls to exchange for that egg. Just what kind of treasure was it!?

 C83

    Behind Gu Yan''er, Ma Feng had also arrived. When he saw Ling Tianlie, who was standing behind Lin Tian, he immediately felt a wave of hesitation. He had already felt that Ling Tianlie''s strength was that of a Star River Realm expert.


    However, why would such an expert suddenly appear?


    However, he immediately understood that the Star River Realm expert was probably related to Lin Tian. With the posture in front of him, Ma Feng was able to understand what was going on.


    So, presumably, this Star River expert was here to help Lin Tian solve his current predicament. After all, Lin Tian was still young and was already a high-grade Symbol Master. It wasn''t hard to understand why he had a Star River expert surrounding him.


    Gu Yan''er didn''t think too much about it and instead walked in front of Lin Tian.


    She took the egg from the guard behind her and then handed it to Lin Tian. She sweetly smiled and said: "Okay, this egg is now yours."


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and directly took the egg, then placed it into his own storage ring: "Miss''s face ¡­ ¡­"


    Gu Yan''er did not wait for Lin Tian to finish and directly lifted her veil, then she smiled sweetly and said: "Young Master''s pills are simply too godly, I never thought that my face, after finding so many pill refiners and doctors, would actually be cured by Young Master. Gu Yan''er is here to thank Young Master."


    "There''s no need for you to be so polite, we are doing the same thing, as long as it''s useful." However, after hesitating for a bit, Lin Tian still said: "Miss, you have a natural poison body. This pill can''t be cured, but when the poison in your body accumulates to a certain degree, it will still erupt, so the best way to resolve it is to find a master of poison cultivation and cultivate in poison cultivation. In this way, you will be able to finally control the poison in your body.


    Lin Tian''s words were what Horned Demon had told him before. After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian decided to tell the truth. This Gu Yan''er''s character was not bad and Lin Tian also admired her.


    "Yes, many thanks Young Master." Gu Yan''er blinked her eyes, then smiled at Lin Tian and said: "Sir, am I beautiful?"


    Gu Yan''er''s face was now smooth and exquisite. The scar from before had completely disappeared, and her face was once again that of a young girl. If one were to say that Gu Yan''er was truly a top beauty, then she would not be much different from Yun Huang.


    He immediately replied, "Beautiful, it''s beyond beautiful."


    Gu Yan''er''s smile was like a flower as she bitterly sighed and said, "It''s been a long time since I last heard someone say that I''m beautiful ¡­"


    Lin Tian then came to his senses. Gu Yan''er had probably been troubled by the poison since she was young. With her previous appearance, it was not inappropriate to call her the ugliest girl in the Heavenly Thunder City.


    Now that she had regained her looks, it was obvious that she wanted everyone to praise her appearance.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian also lightly smiled and said: "With young lady''s current appearance, it wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that she is the number one beauty in the Heavenly Thunder City."


    Gu Yan''er smiled, but Lin Tian suddenly asked: "That''s right, Miss, may I ask where did you get that egg?"


    Gu Yan''er deeply looked at Lin Tian, then smiled and said: "It was picked up by my younger brother."


    Lin Tian was just about to ask something when Ling Tian Lie suddenly walked over. He stared at Gu Yan''er for a moment before opening his mouth in surprise: "Girl, your physique ¡­"


    "She has a natural poison body." Lin Tian moved close to Ling Tianlie''s ear and whispered into it.


    "No wonder, no wonder I can feel such pure source energy." Ling Tian Lie laughed softly: "So you''re the beloved of the heavens, then it''s not hard to understand."


    "Girl." Ling Tianlie spoke to Gu Yan''er once again, "Within my Azure Province Academy, there is a teacher who possesses the ability to poison. With your talent, you will definitely be able to travel a thousand miles in a single day by cultivating poison arts. If you are willing, take my command medallion and head straight to the Azure Province Academy to find me. I''ll take you to meet that poison master personally."


    After saying that, Ling Tian Lie took out a command medallion from his waist and handed it to Gu Yan''er.


    Gu Yan''er hesitated for a moment before finally accepting the token. She blinked her eyes at Lin Tian and said: "Sir Lin, will you also go to the Azure Province Academy?"


    "Of course." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    "That''s good. We might even become classmates." Gu Yan Er waved the token in her hand and said with a smile.


    Lin Tian nodded his head, he did not understand the meaning behind Gu Yan''er''s words.


    Gu Yan''er looked at Lin Tian''s wooden expression and cursed in her heart: "Idiot."


    After that, he bowed towards Ling Tian and said, "Thank you, uncle."


    "I''m leaving, Sir Lin. Goodbye." Gu Yan''er did not stay for long as her purpose of coming here was to give Lin Tian the egg. Now that she had completed her mission and her face had been restored, she had to hurry home to reassure her parents.


    "Goodbye." Lin Tian had a smile on his face.


    Ling Tianlie did not notice the peculiar expression on Gu Yan''er''s face. Instead, he called Luo Kaishan over, "Luo Kaishan, look after this lady. With her talent, if she were to join the Azure Province Academy, there will be another absolute genius."


    "Disciple will remember." Luo Kai Shan did not dare to hesitate and immediately agreed.


    Ling Tian Lie nodded, turned his head towards Lin Tian and said: "Tian''er, the matters here have basically been completely resolved. The rest should be left to your senior brother to handle, it would be best for you to follow me back to Sky Dragon City as soon as possible."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "I''ll say a few words to them."


    Lin Tian walked in front of Lady Li and Li Wan''er, but before he could say anything, Li Wan''er took the initiative to ask: "You''re leaving, right?"


    "I''ve basically done what I promised Miss Wan''er before. Now, the Li family can be at ease. As long as we pay attention to the development of our family''s disciples in the future, no one will dare underestimate the Li family''s wealth and influence." Lin Tian looked at the two of them and said: "It''s just that I still have some matters to attend to so I won''t stay here any longer. Please take care. See you later."


    Lady Li saw Li Wan''er''s expression and looked at Lin Tian. She sighed and said, "Sir Lin, you''ve continuously helped my Li Family with this matter. The Li Family will be forever grateful to you in the future."


    "Madam is too polite. This is what I should do." Lin Tian smiled as he spoke to Lady Li, but he did not look at Li Wan''er. In the end, Lin Tian indifferently said: "Please take care, I will take my leave."


    Li Wan''er''s eyes turned red as she stared at Lin Tian, but in the end, she didn''t say anything.


    Lin Tian also arrived in front of Ma Feng: "Brother Feng, many thanks for the money for the God Transforming Steps. I still have things to do, so I won''t stay here any longer. Brother Feng, take care. We''ll meet again in the future."


    "Brother, you''re too kind." Ma Feng''s face was full of smiles. Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pulled the person behind him and asked Lin Tian: "This person, are you taking him away?"


    "Lei Bao?" Lin Tian looked at Lei Bao. For a moment, he was in a dilemma. Lei Bao had already pledged his allegiance to him. Logically speaking, the current Lei Bao was his follower.


    It was just that with Lei Bao''s strength, Lin Tian felt that bringing him along was a burden ¡­


    "Forget it. I think it''s better to bring it along. After all, Lei Bao still knows where the wooden box is." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before deciding to bring Lei Bao along.


    However, Lei Bao''s family members were unable to be brought along.


    Ma FengDun tactfully agreed to help Lei Bao take good care of his family. Only then did Lei Bao agree to follow Lin Tian and leave.


    After everything was settled, Ling Tianlie and Lin Tian finally brought Lei Bao and left.


    After getting rid of these trivial matters in the Heavenly Thunder City, Lin Tian had actually gotten rid of one thing in his mind.


    As for Li Wan''er, even if Lin Tian didn''t understand the affairs between a man and a woman, he could still tell that Li Wan''er had already secretly promised him in her heart, but Lin Tian wouldn''t think about it right now. Moreover, he already had Yun Huang, so he had no interest in provoking other women.


    Therefore, the best solution was to completely end it.


    It was better to be in pain than to be in pain. Li Wan''er would soon forget herself.


    Lin Tian shook his head, not wanting to think about anything else.


    The three of them continued onward at high speed, but after an unknown amount of time, Ling Tianlie suddenly spoke up, "You''ve followed us the entire way and you''re still not going to leave? You''re forcing me to kill you!"


    After saying that, Ling Tianlie''s gaze suddenly darkened, and his body flew out.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. In the Divine Mansion, Horned Demon''s voice rang out: "It''s that black-robed man from before at the Clear Pavilion Pavilion. He has already followed you all along the way."


    "Him?" Lin Tian''s brows slightly wrinkled. Presumably, the black cloaked person''s goal in following him was for that egg.


    "Oh, right. You haven''t told me. What kind of demon beast''s egg is this?" Lin Tian finally couldn''t help but ask.


    He really wanted to know how powerful it was that he could make the egg in his dantian swallow it, and at the price of ten blood crystals.


    "That egg is the egg of the Green Roc." Horned Demon replied indifferently, "The egg of the Cyan Winged Peng is only a dead egg ¡­"


    "Cyan Winged Peng?" After Lin Tian heard this name, he couldn''t help but exclaim: "Could it be, could it be that this egg is a Holy Egg?"


    "That''s right. The Greenwing Saint Roc is a Saint Rank demon beast. Naturally, its egg is the Saint Eggs." Hornless answered.


    "Saint rank demon beast!" Lin Tian sucked in a breath of cold air in his heart. The egg in his storage ring was actually a Saint-rank demon beast egg!


    In the Sky Dragon Continent, powerful demonic beasts were similar in strength to cultivators. They could also move mountains and move the mountains. They could travel in the void and were incomparably powerful.


    A Saint-rank demonic beast was equivalent to a human Saint realm cultivator.


    That was simply inconceivable. When Yun Huang told Lin Tian to reach the Emperor Realm, she wanted to find her. But the Emperor Realm was simply too far away from Lin Tian, but the Sheng Domain was still above the Emperor Realm.


    Above the Emperor Realm was the Saint Realm!


    But right now, Lin Tian had a Saint rank demon beast egg in his storage ring. How could this not cause Lin Tian to be incomparably shocked?


    But at this time, Lin Tian also thought of another question. If the egg in his storage ring was a Holy Egg, then how terrifying would the egg in his dantian be?


    Horned Demon said that the egg in his dantian needed the blood of a level five demon beast or demon beast to be useful to it. Since it hadn''t hatched yet, it was already terrifying. What would happen when it hatched?


    Horned Demon did not pay attention to Lin Tian''s shock. Lin Tian was completely ignorant, but Gu Yan''er made Horned Demon somewhat suspicious. Was it that easy to pick up a Green Winged Saint Roc''s egg?


    Things would definitely not be so simple, but at this moment, Ling Tianlie had actually returned.


    Ling Tianlie''s face did not look too good. "That person is extremely cunning. Even though he was severely injured, he did not kill him."


    Lin Tian calmed down and said: "Forget it, great uncle, we should return as soon as possible."


    Ling Tian Lie nodded his head and the three of them once again set off on their way back.

 C84

    Returning to the Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian felt a slight sense of nostalgia.


    Xiao Yunhai and Zhang Yi also did not change, in fact, Zhang Yi had changed a bit. Zhang Yi''s talent was no longer inferior to Lin Tian''s, in just a few days time, Zhang Yi had gone from a person who could not cultivate to a Qi Disciple level 2.


    This kind of speed could already be considered heaven-defying. As long as Zhang Yi had enough time, she would definitely be able to achieve great things in martial arts cultivation.


    Xiao Yunhai waited for Lin Tian and Ling Tianlie to return before bringing them to his study.


    Along the way, Lin Tian told Xiao Yunhai about everything that had happened in the past few days.


    Xiao Yunhai was not too worried about what had happened to Lin Tian in the Heavenly Thunder City because Ling Tianlie was present.


    After the three of them had entered the room, Xiao Yunhai closed all the doors and windows before saying to Ling Tianlie: "Eldest Brother, we''ve confirmed the truth of the news. The one who has come this time is Xiao Lin!"


    "It really is him." Ling Tianlie clenched his fists and growled in a low voice.


    "Master, Uncle Master, what are you two talking about?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Tian, sit down. I''ll tell you everything." Xiao Yunhai said to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did as he was told and sat down. Only then did Xiao Yunhai recount everything to Lin Tian.


    It turned out that the Tian Luo Royal Family already knew about Lin Tian killing Luo Lie the other day.


    The king of Tian Luo was in closed door training, so the matter was left to the First Prince.


    If he passed it, it would be the best for him. Not only would the strength of the king greatly increase, his lifespan would also increase, and everyone would be happy. However, if it was not enough, Tian Luo Royal Family would become very lively.


    Tian Luo Kingdom''s King had more than ten princes, other than those who were disappointing and had no ambitions, the rest of the princes were also eyeing the throne covetously.


    Amongst them, the First Prince, Second Prince, and Ninth Prince were the most outstanding.


    If the king of Tian Luo Kingdom died, these three princes would definitely fight for the throne.


    The First Prince was deeply pleased with the court''s officials, so he recruited a large number of court officials.


    As for the Second Prince, he had the support of the princes of more than half of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    In other words, the princes of many small kingdoms supported the Second Prince.


    The Luo Lie that Lin Tian had killed was the one that first expressed his willingness to support the Second Prince.


    Thus, the Second Prince had to take action when Luo Lie was killed. Otherwise, wouldn''t that be disheartening to the hearts of those princes in those small territories?


    In the end, this matter was left to the Second Prince.


    The Second Prince immediately sent people to investigate the culprits of Luo Lie''s death. Although they said that they were patrolling, they were actually only here to kill the person who killed Luo Lie so as to give an explanation to the other princes who supported the Second Prince.


    So, the person that the Second Prince sent this time was the strongest under his command, his name was Xiao Lin.


    Xiao Lin was an existence at the eighth level of the Star River Realm and was considered one of the top experts in the Tian Luo Country. He was not much weaker than the current king.


    And such an existence, even in the Azure Province Academy, was a person who was on the level of a principal. But for some reason, he became the Second Prince''s aide, and he was willing to be under the orders of the Second Prince.


    As for Xiao Lin, he would arrive at Sky Dragon City in less than three days.


    Xiao Lin was too strong. Even if Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie combined their powers, they would still not be his match.


    Xiao Yunhai had only just recovered his strength to the first level of the Star River Realm. Ling Tianlie was also only at the fifth level of the Star River Realm.


    Originally, wanting to protect Lin Tian wasn''t a difficult matter, because killing a prince in a small place could be a small matter. However, as long as Ling Tianlie did something to make Lin Tian a student in the Azure Province Academy, then this matter could be reduced to a small matter, a small matter could be solved.


    After all, the Azure Province Academy was a martial arts academy personally conferred by the king. The goal was to nurture talent for the king. As long as one''s talent was high enough, even if they committed a great calamity, the Azure Province Academy would still be able to completely conceal it.


    However, it was impossible now. Killing Luo Lie had already involved the competition for the throne. Moreover, the time for the king to pass on was approaching, so it was hard to say who would inherit the throne in the future.


    After all, the Second Prince had issued a death order to make Xiao Lin bring back the head of Luo Lie''s murderer.


    This is known to everyone. No one dares to disobey these princes, because it is hard to say which prince would be able to turn into the next king with a single shake of his body ¡­


    This was what Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie were the most worried about.


    When Lin Tian heard these words, his heart went cold. Xiao Lin''s strength was actually at the eighth level of the Astral Realm. With that kind of strength, there was no one who could protect him!


    Moreover, Lin Tian did not expect that after killing Luo Lie, he would accidentally get involved in the fight for the throne.


    "Master, uncle master, your disciple has troubled you. I will leave the city now and wander the world. When I have the strength, I will come back to take revenge for today." Lin Tian hesitated for a while before resolutely replying.


    He definitely would not watch Ling Tianlie and Xiao Yunhai fight with their lives for him against Xiao Lin. That would simply be courting death, so he might as well leave as soon as possible and temper himself.


    "What nonsense is this?" Xiao Yunhai unhappily glared at Lin Tian: "You''re my disciple, how could I let you suffer such grievances?"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, and his eyes couldn''t help but turn red. But the truth was that Xiao Lin''s strength was at the eighth level of the Astral Realm. If he made a move, there was no way that he could stop him.


    "Master, if I don''t leave, there''s no other way." Lin Tian couldn''t help but say.


    "There is. However, all of this still depends on you. I''ve fought for a chance for you. Let''s see if you can grasp it or not." Xiao Yunhai looked at Lin Tian with a somewhat serious gaze.


    "Seize the opportunity..." Ling Tianlie''s expression immediately changed. He seemed to have thought of something, and then asked Xiao Yunhai with a hoarse voice: "You, you went to find him?"


    Lin Tian was stunned, he did not know who the "he" Ling Tianlie spoke of was.


    "Now that things have progressed to this point, I can only look for him." Xiao Yunhai sighed.


    Ling Tian Lie''s eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage. However, in the end, he gave up and said, "Tian''er, you must seize this opportunity. This was exchanged with the dignity of your master!"


    "What!" Lin Tian was also greatly shocked. Although he did not understand what Ling Tianlie and Xiao Yunhai had just said, but Lin Tian understood this sentence. Xiao Yunhai must have paid a huge price in order to get this opportunity.


    "Tian, you don''t have to think about anything else. Let me tell you, what kind of opportunity is this?" Xiao Yunhai directly interrupted Ling Tianlie and turned to face Lin Tian.


    "This is a good opportunity. It is your chance to live, and it is also your chance to soar into the sky. However, whether or not you can grasp it will depend on yourself." Xiao Yunhai lightly explained this opportunity.


    So it turned out that Xiao Yunhai had found a big shot of the Azure Province Academy, and finally that big shot had agreed to come personally to test Lin Tian.


    If Lin Tian could pass his assessment, he would recommend Lin Tian to the headmaster of the Azure Province. The Azure Province Academy would also appear and protect Lin Tian, and Lin Tian could directly participate in the Azure Province''s disciple selection competition.


    Through the selection, he would be able to enter the Azure Province Academy.


    If Lin Tian could pass the examination, then he would protect Lin Tian. That important character''s strength was at the ninth level of the Xinghe realm and above so it was naturally not a problem to protect Lin Tian. So, it all depended on Lin Tian''s performance.


    "Tian, are you confident?" Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but ask: "Also, although Master helped you fight for this chance, Master wants to tell you that there will be danger. If you agree to participate in this assessment, Master will naturally be happy, but if you feel that it''s dangerous and don''t want to, Master will not blame you ¡­"


    "I am naturally willing, and please rest assured, Master. No matter what, I will not lose face for you." Lin Tian decisively replied without the slightest hesitation.


    "Alright!" Xiao Yunhai''s Ling Tianlie revealed a smile on his face.


    "That''s good. That important person will arrive with Xiao Lin three days later." Xiao Yunhai lightly said: "In these few days, you should cultivate properly and strive to be in your best condition."


    "Alright." Lin Tian didn''t ask who the important person was, nor did he ask what the thing he wanted to test was.


    Since his master had given him a chance, he couldn''t give it up no matter what.


    After Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie finished speaking, they immediately left. There were still three days left, and that was enough time.


    Lin Tian took out his gains from the Heavenly Thunder City.


    A wooden box, an incomplete secret manual for the God Transforming Steps, and an egg. This was Lin Tian''s greatest harvest from this trip in the Heavenly Thunder City.


    However, Lin Tian believed that these three items would definitely raise his strength in a short period of time, especially that wooden box. Lin Tian was looking forward to it because that wooden box had attracted the Ancient Dragon Runes in his Divine Palace.


    This was definitely not something ordinary.


    Lin Tian was not in a hurry to open the wooden box. He first held the egg in his hand.


    "Hornless, how do I feed this Blue Roc''s egg to the egg in my body?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Use your soul and try to communicate with the egg in your body. Then, you can put this Green Roc''s egg in your dantian. That egg will devour it." Hornless answered.


    Lin Tian did as he was told. He didn''t think that the moment his Divine Manor''s soul arrived in front of the egg in his whirlpool of dantian, the Ancient Dragon Rune between his Soul''s eyebrows shot out a ray of light that shot into the egg.


    The egg was shining brightly. The next moment, it became calm again.


    It was just that the Blue Peng egg in Lin Tian''s hand immediately turned into green blood qi and was poured into the egg in his dantian.


    The green light faintly flickered a few times on the egg before completely disappearing.


    The egg also calmed down.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was extremely shocked in his heart. What the hell was this egg in his dantian? It ate a Saint rank demon beast''s egg, but it didn''t have any reaction at all?

 C85

    "It''s not that there''s no reaction, but this little thing also needs to be digested. After all, it''s an egg of a Saint-rank demon beast, so how could it be useless?" Horned Demon seemed to know Lin Tian''s thoughts and explained to Lin Tian.


    "So that''s how it is." Lin Tian nodded his head and couldn''t help but ask: "So, what exactly is this egg?"


    "When it hatches, you will naturally know what''s the use of asking so many questions right now. You brat, hurry up and finish learning the God Transforming Steps. There is also that wooden box. It should be hiding a Talisman skill." Horned Demon did not directly face Lin Tian and answer what kind of existence that egg was. Instead, he directly told Lin Tian.


    "The fact that you can successfully cultivate these two cultivation techniques will greatly help you in the future. Even if you can''t pass the exam, you can still rely on the God Transforming Steps to escape ¡­"


    Lin TianAo didn''t want to say anything more, so he didn''t ask any further. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the other two rewards.


    To the current Lin Tian, the God Transforming Steps could be said to be a timely gift.


    Footwork Martial Skills played a very important role in battle.


    With Lin Tian''s physical fitness, after going through the dragon blood refinement, he had already far surpassed martial artists of the same realm, and his speed was the same as well. But now, if he still had the support of footwork martial arts, Lin Tian''s speed would be several times, or even dozens of times faster than before.


    If this was a battle, it would turn into a huge advantage.


    Unfortunately, the God Transforming Steps was an incomplete martial art.


    Actually, Lin Tian had not decided whether or not to cultivate it. This was because the incomplete martial arts would definitely have a great impact on later stages of cultivation.


    There were even some cases of Qi deviation because they practiced incomplete martial arts.


    However, at this time, Horned Demon suddenly said, "Incomplete martial arts, that''s not a problem. Try using the Ancient Dragon Symbol that has your soul activated. Maybe there will be a surprise."


    "Surprise?" Lin Tian was startled, "What surprise?"


    Horned Demon once again kept his mouth shut. Lin Tian didn''t ask any more questions and directly tried to use the Ancient Dragon Symbol on his forehead to look at the God Transforming Steps.


    When the Ancient Dragon Symbol felt Lin Tian''s power, it immediately shot out a strange light from between his eyebrows. With a flash of light, it directly shot at the God Transforming Steps.


    The incomplete God Transforming Steps martial art immediately underwent a change. The words "God Transforming Steps" immediately transformed into symbols that charged towards the center of Lin Tian''s eyebrows.


    In the end, the runes turned into an extremely strange human figure, and in the next moment, it was imprinted on the forehead of Lin Tian''s Divine Soul.


    At the same time, Lin Tian felt that his consciousness had arrived at another space.


    "Where is this?" Lin Tian carefully sized up this space. This place was covered in a greyish haze, making it impossible for people to clearly see just what was in this space.


    "This is the Dragon-ranked space." Horned Demon replied indifferently, "Brat, the Ancient Dragon Symbol still has endless uses. I''ll wait for you to discover them one by one. Right now, it''s only one of the benefits ¡­"


    "What''s the beauty?" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with doubts.


    Horned Demon didn''t reply, but at the same time, Lin Tian discovered something strange within the Archaic Dragon Rune space.


    At this moment, there was an additional figure within the Dragon Symbol Space.


    "This ¡­ this is the figure formed by the runes of the God Transforming Steps?" Lin Tian''s eyes had an incredulous look. Could it be that this was the surprise that Horned Demon said just now?


    In the next moment, that figure started to move.


    whoosh whoosh whoosh * That figure quickly flashed as fast as lightning. It was so fast that Lin Tian was almost unable to clearly see it.


    Lin Tian became even more suspicious, but in a short period of time, Lin Tian suddenly discovered an abnormality.


    "No, this is the God Transforming Steps!" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with horror. With a thought, the secret martial art manual for the God Transforming Steps appeared in his hand.


    He carefully looked at the manual and found that the figure formed by the symbol was using the God Transforming Steps.


    In a short moment, the figure was done performing the technique. Then, it stopped and stood where it was.


    "Too fast, too fast. I can''t see it clearly at all. Just slow down." Lin Tian couldn''t help but mutter to himself.


    But the figure seemed to understand what Lin Tian was saying and actually began to move again. This time, his speed was a lot slower.


    Lin Tian could clearly see what was going on. He could clearly see the trajectory of the God Transforming Steps.


    This time, Lin Tian looked at the manual in his hand, completely looking through the God Transforming Steps.


    Lin Tian imprinted the footwork technique of the figure into his heart and matched it with the footwork technique.


    However, the secret scripture in his hand had quickly turned to the last page.


    Lin Tian''s heart began to violently beat. This martial art was incomplete. Logically speaking, when that figure displayed it to this point, it should have already begun to stop.


    But!


    That figure did not have any intention of stopping. Moreover, after Lin Tian had finished flipping through the secret manual, that figure was still moving!


    Lin Tian immediately became ecstatic in his heart. Afterwards, he focused all of his attention as he carefully looked at the movements of the figure.


    He would remember this in his heart.


    After an unknown amount of time, the figure finally stopped and became a human figure once again, standing where he was without moving.


    Lin Tian did not finish and could not help but say: "Again."


    The figure immediately started to move, demonstrating once more.


    This cycle, Lin Tian looked it dozens of times before finally smacking his lips and sighing in his heart.


    This Immemorial Dragon Talisman actually has such a miraculous effect, actually being able to completely supplement the incomplete footwork secret technique!


    Right now, Lin Tian''s mind was thinking of a set of footwork for the God Transforming Steps. He remembered it thoroughly and only then did he leave the dragon symbol space.


    "Did you feel a pleasant surprise?" Hornless looked at Lin Tian''s face full of smiles and couldn''t help but ask with a smile.


    Surprise, what a pleasant surprise!" The God Transforming Steps was not a low level martial art, it was only an incomplete set that caused its grade to drop. With the current set of footwork, Lin Tian was certain that the grade of this footwork martial art was definitely above the eighth level, or maybe even a ninth level martial art!


    Gain. Gain. Gain. Grow. Grow. Grow. Grow.


    Lin Tian didn''t expect that on this trip to the Sky Thunder City, he would return empty-handed. Especially since he opened the space within the Ancient Dragon Symbol, it made Lin Tian overjoyed. Right now, Lin Tian had completely experienced the magic of the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    No wonder the Horned Demon said that there were countless wondrous uses. Lin Tian was currently filled with anticipation. He wanted to know what other wondrous things this Ancient Dragon Symbol had that he had yet to unearth.


    However, Lin Tian knew that now was not the time to think about this. It should be known that a great calamity was coming for him. Right now, he should be fighting against time to continuously cultivate.


    After several consecutive great battles, Lin Tian had obtained a great harvest. Whether it was his battle with Li Yuanjie or his battle with Lang Wuying, Lin Tian had completely brought out his potential.


    The gains from fighting experience were naturally without a doubt, but more importantly, Lin Tian faintly felt that he seemed to have reached a critical point. He believed that in these few days, as long as he bitterly cultivated, he would very quickly be able to progress in his cultivation.


    Lin Tian practiced the God Transforming Steps a few times in his mind. After confirming that he had memorized it, he didn''t care anymore. Right now he didn''t have any time to specifically cultivate it. Three days time was really too short.


    Lin Tian once again shifted his gaze onto the strange wooden box that he had obtained.


    To be honest, Lin Tian''s expectations for this wooden box was even higher.


    Horned Demon also said that there might be a glyph skill hidden within this wooden box!


    That was a talisman skill, something that Lin Tian dreamed of.


    Lin Tian''s current mental strength had already reached the level of a high-grade Symbol Master, but he didn''t have a single Symbol Technique.


    The use of Talisman Skills was very simple; they could completely transform Spiritual Force into a method of attack.


    Lin Tian''s current strong Spirit power could only be used to influence opponents, but he could not attack because he could not use talisman skills. If he had one, his Spirit power could be greatly used.


    His Spirit power was boundless and incomparably powerful. It was much more powerful than ordinary Superior Grade Symbol Masters.


    Thus, right now, the only thing that he could help Lin Tian with was this wooden box.


    Although the God Transforming Steps was not bad, it was still not an offensive technique. However, it was still a powerful offensive technique.


    Lin Tian impatiently picked up the wooden box. He wanted to know what kind of secret was hidden within the wooden box, but after looking at it for a long time, Lin Tian did not discover anything different about this wooden box. It was just an ordinary wooden box, but it was sealed.


    Not only that, but most importantly, this wooden box was emitting a very rotten smell. It was very disgusting.


    Lin Tian thought for a long time, but he could not think of how to open it. Just as he was about to ask the Horned Demon how to solve his problem, he suddenly remembered that when he and Li Wan''er went to see Ma Feng, Ma Feng also had a similar wooden box in his hands. At that time, Ma Feng had studied it for a long time, but still couldn''t think of a way to open the wooden box.


    Could it be that this wooden box was the same?


    Lin Tian thought about it and then threw the wooden box to the ground. The wooden box shattered into several pieces, but unfortunately, there wasn''t anything inside the wooden box and it emitted an extremely terrifying black light.


    The instant that black light rushed out of the wooden box, it directly rushed towards Lin Tian''s forehead. At the same time, from within the black smoke, a burst of eerie laughter rang out: "Hahaha, Ancestor finally came out from the broken box. Boy, your shell isn''t too bad.


    "You want to possess!?" Lin Tian instantly reacted. This black smoke was actually the soul of some big shot, and right now, it was impressively coming to steal Lin Tian''s body!

 C86

    This was the first time Lin Tian had experienced this, but he didn''t expect that inside the wooden box, it wasn''t a chance, but a calamity.


    Within the wooden box, there was actually an unknown devil. It wanted to take the chance to kill Lin Tian and take over his body.


    "Hornless!" Although Lin Tian was shocked, he first thought of the Horned Demon.


    If Lin Tian was possessed, everything in his own body would belong to that demon. Not only that, even the Horned Demon who lived in the Lin family''s Heavenly God Palace would suffer a disaster.


    Under these circumstances, Horned Demon couldn''t just stand there and watch him die.


    "Brat, what are you panicking for? Relax, relax! This is an opportunity, not a calamity." At this time, Hornless said with a faint smile.


    It already saw the lump of black gas and also knew what the lump of black gas was trying to do, but from start to finish, the Horned Demon did not have any reaction because to others, this devil would certainly be a disaster, but to Lin Tian, that was a heavenly huge opportunity.


    "Opportunity?" Right now he was about to be possessed, but the Horned Demon said this was an opportunity?


    "A great lucky chance." Horned Demon smiled and didn''t say anything more.


    That lump of black qi also charged into Lin Tian''s Divine Palace in the instant that Lin Tian and Horned Demon conversed.


    The lump of black gas entered Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and laughed loudly: "I never would have thought that you would actually open the Divine Palace. Not bad, the heaven really gave the ancestor an endless amount of luck! The Patriarch is taking this body! "


    Lin Tian was both shocked and angry in his heart, but even if that lump of black qi allowed him to enter his own Divine Palace, he wouldn''t be able to do anything.


    That lump of black gas did not have the slightest hesitation. As it laughed loudly, it had already charged towards Lin Tian''s soul.


    If he devoured Lin Tian''s soul, Lin Tian would completely die. This body would also be the object within that lump of black gas.


    However, just as the lump of black gas arrived in front of Lin Tian''s soul, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.


    However, when he felt that something was wrong and wanted to escape, he suddenly discovered that a ray of light shot out from between Lin Tian''s soul and enveloped the ball of black air.


    "What''s going on?!" The ball of black gas roared angrily.


    At this moment, a sudden change occurred.


    The Immemorial Dragon Symbol between Lin Tian''s divine soul brows abruptly erupted with an extremely powerful devouring force, shooting straight towards the ball of black energy.


    That cluster of black energy was immediately swallowed by the Devouring Vortex formed by the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    A large mass of black qi instantly rushed into Lin Tian''s soul.


    The remaining black fog cried out in fear, "How, how is this possible, how can you have such powerful strength, you actually deluded yourself on wanting to devour me!"


    The remaining black energy constantly struggled. However, under the devouring vortex formed by the Ancient Dragon Symbol, the ball of black energy did not have any strength to fight back ¡­


    You, what kind of freak are you? So, all of this was a trap set up by you to lure the Patriarch in!


    That lump of black qi''s voice became weaker and weaker. In the end, it was completely swallowed up by the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol. It completely disappeared within the Ancient Dragon Symbol and was completely poured into Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian blankly looked at everything in front of him. He didn''t know what to say at the moment ¡­


    He seemed to understand now what the Horned Demon meant by ''a heaven-defying lucky chance'' meant.


    When that black aura entered his soul, Lin Tian immediately felt a wave of discomfort, as if something was constantly swimming within his spirit body.


    However, this feeling didn''t last for long. The Ancient Dragon Tally once again released a surge of power, completely suppressing the power within his soul before swallowing it.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt an indescribable sense of comfort gush from his soul.


    That kind of comfortable feeling almost made Lin Tian want to moan.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s soul also began to undergo an extremely strange change.


    Originally, Lin Tian''s soul looked like a mini version of Lin Tian''s, but he didn''t see any other differences. But now, Lin Tian discovered that his soul actually had some different meaning.


    As for what sort of change occurred, Lin Tian could not think of a word to describe it. If he had to say it, then it would be very clever.


    That''s right, smart.


    Although Lin Tian had long since opened up his own Divine Palace and found his own soul.


    In the beginning, the power of Lin Tian''s soul was very weak. But now, Lin Tian''s soul had completely solidified and became extremely powerful. But no matter how it changed, Lin Tian''s soul always gave Lin Tian a feeling that it was lifeless ¡­


    Right, he was as sluggish as a puppet.


    But now, Lin Tian''s soul had suddenly become agile, as if he had his own consciousness!


    Lin Tian also did not know why his spirit would undergo such a change.


    However, at this moment, Horned Demon''s voice rang out once again, "Not bad, not bad. Brat, after devouring this soul body, you are just a hair away from breaking through to become a Soul Symbol Master ¡­"


    "Spirit Symbol Master?" A spirit body? " Lin Tian stared blankly, as he did not seem to understand what Horned Demon''s intentions were.


    "That cluster of black air earlier should be the soul of a powerful Symbol Master. However, it should have been eroded. Therefore, it has signs of becoming a demon. It should be the black smoke that you have seen ¡­" Horned Demon explained, "However, now you have accidentally let him out. He originally wanted to devour you, but with the Primordial Dragon Symbol, even if he had the ability to transcend the heavens, in front of the Primordial Dragon Symbol, he could only feel hatred."


    "The most powerful function of the Ancient Dragon Symbol is to devour. It can devour anything and can devour anything under the heavens ¡­" Horned Demon sighed and continued, "Although the damage to that soul body is extremely serious, it is not inferior to the soul of a high-rank Symbol Master. His soul force has been devoured by you, which is naturally equivalent to devouring the soul of a high-rank Symbol Master. You are currently only a step away from becoming a Soul Symbol Master."


    "A Soul Symbol Master." Lin Tian''s heart was filled with shock. He also knew that above the high grade Symbol Masters was the spirit Symbol Masters.


    Only Spiritual Symbol Masters would be able to completely step into the next level of cultivation, no longer being basic Symbol Masters.


    Regardless of whether it was a low-grade, mid-grade or high-grade Symbol Master, they were all in the category of basic Symbol Masters. Only by stepping into the Spiritual Symbol Master stage could one truly be considered an expert of the Symbol Dao.


    But now Horned Demon actually said that he was just a hair away from breaking through to the spirit runemaster realm. This truly caused Lin Tian to be somewhat shocked.


    But the surprise was not limited to just that. An even bigger surprise was still coming. After Lin Tian devoured that spirit body, he had actually also digested that soul''s memories.


    And what made Lin Tian feel pleasantly surprised was the memory.


    In his memory, there were actually various kinds of Symbol Techniques!


    "I''m rich, rich ¡­" Lin Tian suddenly shouted.


    He had truly struck it rich. Within the black gas''s memories, there were over a hundred different Talisman Skills.


    This also confirmed what Horned Demon had said just now. The black gas''s predecessor must be an extremely powerful Symbol Master. Otherwise, he would not have possessed such a powerful Symbol Skill.


    Not only that, his memories also contained many inscription patterns. In other words, this person was not only a Symbol Master, but also a Symbol Master!


    Within that soul body, there was still an endless amount of experience and insights from cultivating the Dao of Talismans.


    These things were all things that Lin Tian needed right now.


    All in all, this was indeed a great fortune, a shocking great fortune.


    Almost everything was what Lin Tian currently lacked the most, but it was also something that he desperately needed.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s face filled with joy, Horned Demon couldn''t help but say: "Boy, now you know that this is great fortune."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and didn''t say anymore. After obtaining this good fortune, he had to quickly increase his strength. The people from Xiao Lin and the Azure Province Academy that came to test him would come soon. Lin Tian needed to increase his strength as soon as possible.


    Strength is the way, only by being strong can you protect yourself.


    Lin Tian shook his head and didn''t think about anything else. Instead, he began to actively digest the memories.


    The memory of that soul body was extremely chaotic, and many of it was fragmented, presumably because of the damage to his soul.


    But luckily, Lin Tian still quickly straightened it out and found a symbol technique with extremely strong attack power.


    The name of the rune skill was the Immortal Soul Piercer.


    The so called Immortal Soul Piercing Finger was to condense one''s own mental energy into extremely powerful spirit thorns. Moreover, this talisman skill could form spirit thorns with different levels of power depending on the strength of the practitioner''s mental energy.


    With Lin Tian''s strong mental strength, if he successfully learned this Spirit Spikes glyph technique, he could condense dozens of Spirit Spikes in an instant within the Divine Mansion and then instantly spew them out to attack other people''s souls.


    This type of Symbol Technique was currently suitable for Lin Tian to cultivate. If he successfully mastered this Symbol Skill, Lin Tian''s combat strength could instantly increase by a large amount!


    The first thing he had to cultivate was obviously his own cultivation progress. He once again began to recall the great battles he had experienced in the past few days, and began to move his whirlpool of Dantian, continuously devouring the surrounding spiritual energy and converting it into the Essence in his body.


    The monstrous strength was continuously swallowed by Lin Tian. At the same time, his whirlpool of dantian also continuously rotated, drawing out an extremely tiny bit of the dragon blood before charging into Lin Tian''s body.


    boom boom boom boom * The rumbling sounds from Lin Tian''s body exploded out. Not only that, the qi and blood in his body also quickly rose and started to boil.


    Very quickly, that blood qi turned into extremely pure qi and stored in Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian felt that the energy in his body was increasing crazily, at the same time, the overflowing blood qi''s energy quickly passed through the meridian in Lin Tian''s body.


    In the end, the pure Essence Qi from his blood constantly flowed within Lin Tian''s body, healing the injuries within Lin Tian''s body. At the same time, it also continuously nourished Lin Tian''s inner organs.


    After an unknown amount of time, dense steam started to come out of Lin Tian''s head. After a long time, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes. A light flashed in his eyes before he softly said: "He broke through two stages in succession, and is at the 5th level of the Qi Sea ah ¡­"


    But Lin TianAo knew that this was far from enough. What he needed to deal with, was an expert at the eighth level of the Astral Reaching Realm! And that so-called big shot from the Azure Province Academy, a fifth level Qi Hai warrior, he was still too weak. Therefore, he had to make the best use of his time to start training the Immortal Soul Sting ¡­

 C87

    Lin Tian looked forward to the strength of this rune skill when it came to the Immortal Soul Spikes. Before, he had always guarded such vigorous Mental Energy, but from start to finish, he had never fully displayed the powerful effects of his Mental Energy.


    Now that he had a Talisman Skill, he could test the extent of his soul attacks.


    "Cultivating the path of the soul, gathering spiritual might, becoming a thorn in the primordial spirit ¡­"


    Lin Tian silently chanted the chant and the soul within the Divine Manor immediately began to throb. The boundless spiritual energy within the Divine Palace quickly began to condense. Not long after, it condensed into extremely sharp spikes.


    The sharp thorns madly converged in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and began to continuously condense until they formed daggers. Only then did Lin Tian stop condensing.


    With a flick of his mind, hundreds of primordial spirit thorns formed within Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace were wildly blasted outwards.


    The Yuan Spirit Stinger was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it penetrated the wall of the study. With a sonic boom, it disappeared from the world.


    However, an extremely strange sound suddenly came from the wall that was just penetrated.


    After a moment, with a rumbling sound, the wall completely collapsed. The wall that was originally made from the toughest stone on the Green Cliff Mountain turned into powder and scattered into the air.


    The might of the Immortal Soul stabbing technique was actually this terrifying.


    This kind of might caused Lin Tian to completely relax. The terrifying attack of the Mental Energy was not the slightest bit inferior to a powerful martial art. It might even surpass it.


    However, of course, the amount of Mental Energy consumed in order to execute this move was extremely huge. The Mental Energy in Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace had already been depleted by over half.


    Lin Tian quietly began to close his eyes to rest and recover the spirit energy in his Divine Mansion.


    After who knows how long, Lin Tian felt a bit of hunger in his stomach and stopped cultivating. He took out a Fasting Pill from his storage ring.


    This was the pill Li Wan''er had packed for Lu Fan before Lin Tian left. There were many pills, but Lin Tian did not really need pills for cultivation, he had the blood essence of an Ancestral Dragon in his body, which contained unparalleled power. If he continued to refine the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon, it would be enough for him to cultivate to become a supreme expert.


    Also, if the quality of the pill was not good, there would be a lot of impurities within his body. The disadvantages were greater than the benefits, so Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t use it.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian still needed the Fasting Pill very much.


    After consuming a Fasting Pill, just as Lin Tian was about to continue cultivating, he suddenly felt something wrong.


    Earlier, he felt that his Divine Palace was slightly throbbing as if he had sensed the arrival of someone.


    Lin Tian Deng became vigilant. The strength of his soul had greatly increased, so his soul perception had also greatly increased. The thing that he felt just now was definitely not that simple.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly felt a chill run through his body, his hair stood on end and he was extremely vigilant in his heart. It was also at this time, it was unknown when, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.


    That person held a dagger in his hand and pierced towards Lin Tian''s back. That attack, and that person had obviously been hiding for a long time and was waiting for this moment to attack. His goal was very clear, and it was to succeed in one strike.


    The goal was to kill him, but the strange thing was, how did this person come in, and how did he hide himself for so long without being discovered? Although Lin Tian''s soul perception was not that terrifying, the Horned Demon''s soul perception was still there, it was impossible for him to not be able to sense this person''s existence.


    But right now, Lin Tian didn''t have the time to think too much. Right now, his life or death was at stake. If Lin Tian couldn''t dodge this attack, then perhaps he would have to face it on this killer''s body.


    At this critical moment, it had actually aroused Lin Tian''s survival heart. The God Transforming Steps that Lin Tian had just comprehended had suddenly appeared in Lin Tian''s mind.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian activated one of the techniques of the God Transforming Steps.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s figure flashed over at a strange angle, dodging the assassin''s nearly invulnerable attack.


    When the assassin''s attack missed, he felt incredulous. He exclaimed in surprise before shouting at Lin Tian: "You actually managed to dodge my ace attack, not bad ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s back was covered in cold sweat. He thought for a while in his heart, but he couldn''t guess the identity of this person.


    Could it be that he was sent by the Second Prince, but his master said that the Second Prince had sent an expert at the eighth level of the Xinghe realm? Even Lin Tian couldn''t sense the strength of the person in front of him clearly, but he was definitely not a Star River Realm expert.


    If it wasn''t the Second Prince, then who was it that wanted to kill him?


    Lin Tian pondered in his heart for a long time, but he did not have an answer. The assassin''s strike failed and he did not run away. However, he did not attack again and confronted Lin Tian.


    The two of them did not speak for a while, and the scene immediately became quiet.


    Lin Tian did not want to call people over. He could deal with this killer in front of him. If he could not, he would have already become a corpse.


    After a long while, Lin Tian finally spoke, "Who is your esteemed self? Why are you here to assassinate me?"


    That person was dressed in a black robe, and even his face was covered. It was obvious that he did not want others to see his true face.


    At this moment, he heard Lin Tian''s question and his eyes flashed a few times as he looked at Lin Tian. He then said: "You''re the one who killed An Yuan?"


    "An Yuan?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he quickly understood.


    It was An Yuan.


    Back then, before he burned down Prince Yongan''s estate, Lin Tian had actually killed a Symbol Master, and that Symbol Master was An Yuan.


    It was also because he had devoured An Yuan''s soul that Lin Tian had been able to jump from a low-rank Symbol Master to a mid-rank Symbol Master.


    Therefore, An Yuan''s strength was only equivalent to that of a mid-grade Symbol Master.


    But Lin Tian clearly remembered that when An Yuan had said that he had a master, he had once said that it was Master Lei Lie''s disciple from the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild ¡­


    Now, this person was most likely here to avenge An Yuan.


    It seems that he was overthinking it ¡­


    If he was here to take revenge for An Yuan, then this person would definitely be a Symbol Master. Symbol Master, Lin Tian is not afraid right now, he has just cultivated the Immortal Soul Piercing Technique and hasn''t used it on anyone else. He just so happened to use this person to test its might!


    Lin Tian made up his mind. He no longer hesitated and said to the killer: "That''s right. An Yuan was indeed killed by me. What, you want to take revenge for him?"


    "I don''t want to." The killer directly replied.


    "That piece of trash An Yuan. Even if he dies, his skills are still inferior to someone''s. He still has to come out to adventure. He deserves to die." The assassin obviously looked down on An Yuan and belittled him to nothing.


    "Then Sir didn''t come here to make friends, right?" Lin Tian laughed coldly as he spoke.


    "Of course not, but you are not bad, you were actually able to escape my fatal blow, you should also be a Symbol Master ¡­" The killer muttered to himself: "Actually, if it wasn''t because I promised Lei Lie, I would definitely bring your head back. I really do have the intention of making friends with you ¡­"


    "Since that''s the case, there''s no need to waste any more words. Come on!" Lin Tian didn''t waste any more words. In the end, he still wanted to see the real deal.


    As soon as he thought of this, the Origin Spirit Thorn immediately began to condense within his Divine Palace. Endless amounts of mental energy instantly turned into spikes that formed within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    The might of the Primordial Spirit Thorn was still tested in actual combat.


    The assassin immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    "Interesting, you actually possess such a powerful Mental Energy. It seems like you are very talented in Symbol Dao cultivation. Are you willing to join my Azure Province Symbol Master Guild? If you are willing, I can recommend you!" There was a hint of admiration in the assassin''s voice.


    "I''m sorry, I''m not interested in any guild, take this soul stab from me!" While that person was speaking, Lin Tian had already finished condensing his own Spirit Origin Stinger and directly shot out. In an instant, hundreds of Spirit power spikes were shot towards that person.


    "Talisman skill?" That person was both shocked and doubtful. His heart was also somewhat aghast.


    He never thought that Lin Tian would actually have a Symbol Technique!


    "However, so what if you possess a Talisman Skill? If you refuse a toast, you will be forced to drink a forfeit. I want to see just how capable you are!" That person''s body immediately erupted with an extremely majestic spiritual energy, that terrifying spiritual energy was not inferior to Lin Tian''s.


    Spirit power wrapped around that person and used it to resist the power of Lin Tian''s spirit pierce.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s Primordial Spirit Thorn also instantly rushed in front of that person. Several hundred sharp thorns emitted whistling sounds as they broke through the air and all rushed towards that person''s body.


    The Spiritual Force wrapped around that person''s body was like a sponge, swallowing all of the power of Lin Tian''s Primordial Spirit Thorn.


    Lin Tian also turned pale with fright. He completely did not expect this person to be this terrifying as well. His strength had unexpectedly swallowed all of his Origin Spirit Spikes. Lin Tian''s Origin Spirit Spikes were actually useless against him.


    At this moment, Lin Tian felt that this killer in front of him was terrifying.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to attack, a change suddenly occurred. That person suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and the shield formed by his spirit power instantly shattered. At the same time, Lin Tian''s spirit weapon suddenly appeared, although its power had decreased by quite a bit, it still charged at the assassin.


    The assassin let out a mournful scream, then fiercely looked at Lin Tian, his figure instantly disappearing without a trace.


    After the assassin disappeared, he left behind a sentence, "Brat, you actually dared to hurt me. This is considered to be a knot, just you wait ¡­"


    In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed out of the room. However, at this moment, it was pitch black outside the room, and there was no sign of anyone else.


    Only now did Lin Tian realize that he had been constantly cultivating, and he had actually forgotten the time. Right now, it was already late at night ¡­ ¡­


    "Don''t chase after a desperate enemy ¡­" Just at this moment, Horned Demon''s voice suddenly rang out in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.

 C88

    "You already knew of his existence?" Just at this time, after Lin Tian heard the voice of the Horned Demon, he suddenly thought of something.


    "Yeah, he didn''t stay here for long. When you were sensing his presence, he just arrived." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    Lin Tian was startled, then his face flushed red: "You grandpa!" This sentence reached the corner of his mouth, but he swallowed it back down in the end.


    He wasn''t joking just now. Let''s not talk about the assassin''s strength, just his concealment skill was truly amazing.


    If Lin Tian had not first cultivated the God Transforming Steps for that blade strike, then, it was very possible that the current Lin Tian was already a corpse.


    That slash, regardless of angle, strength or explosive power, had most definitely been calculated by that assassin. Thus, that strike had most definitely been a fatal one.


    If Lin Tian did not cultivate the God Transforming Steps, or if his spirit perception was slightly late, he would have definitely died from that blade.


    Horned Demon actually already knew that the killer had come and didn''t remind him. Lin Tian naturally couldn''t help but want to curse.


    But Horned Demon seemed to know Lin Tian''s thoughts. He lightly smiled and said: "Brat, I can remind you for a while. Can I remind you for a lifetime?"


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian was startled.


    Your strength and strength are not inferior to ordinary people''s, and it even surpasses them by a long margin. But your sensitivity, insight, and perception are not much stronger than normal people''s, and this bit of advantage is because of the dragon blood''s transformation of your body. It''s not because your perception is superior to others. When Horned Demon suddenly said this, it made Lin Tian sink into deep thought.


    What Horned Demon said was right. Lin Tian now thought about it. Many times he had relied too much on the Horned Demon and Dragon Blood''s power.


    But his own comprehension was very little. This kind of situation had always happened before, it was just that Lin Tian didn''t realize it or perhaps he didn''t care.


    On the path of martial arts, the advancement in strength was indeed extremely important, but the most important thing was the increase in the state of mind.


    Cultivation of martial dao was also cultivation of the heart.


    "The reason why you were able to sense the killer''s existence was because the power of your soul greatly increased. At the same time, it was because he wanted to make a move that your traces were exposed." If your perception was strong enough, you would have discovered him a long time ago. Kid, you should know that in the future, you will have to experience such an assassination countless times, and I will remind you once or twice. In the future, do I have to remind you every time? "Then you will only be able to live under my shadow forever ¡­"


    Lin Tian silently nodded his head. What Hornless said was all true.


    "But, you just dodged that assassin''s killing move. Why?" Hornless asked.


    But without waiting for Lin Tian to reply, Horned Demon continued to answer: "That''s because you were on the edge of life and death just now, and completely stimulated your potential, and it''s not because you''ve cultivated the God Transforming Steps, but it''s mainly because your mental state at that time was always in a tense state, which was why you were able to directly dodge the assassin''s attack. You have to properly comprehend this kind of comprehension, it''s very beneficial for your future cultivation."


    Lin Tian nodded his head. His cultivation had been too smooth before and he had neglected to cultivate his mental state, but the heart of martial arts was extremely important.


    If one''s state of mind was not pure and had a dependant mentality, then their journey in the Martial Dao would stop at this point ¡­


    Lin Tian did not think anymore. He once again withdrew his mind and began to comprehend the rewards of the previous battle.


    Of course, the biggest harvest from this battle was to test out the power of the God Transforming Steps and the Origin Soul Spikes.


    At first, when the person blocked the attack of the Immortal Soul prick, Lin Tian was slightly shocked. He thought that his Immortal Soul prick was not that strong, but later on, Lin Tian realized that the person did not have the power to block the Immortal Soul prick.


    On the contrary, after the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike broke through that person''s mental energy barrier, it still had the strength to attack that assassin. This made Lin Tian a little surprised.


    It was just that that person''s concealment technique was too powerful. Lin Tian did not kill him, but the next time Lin Tian encountered him, Lin Tian was confident that he could kill him within ten moves.


    Lin Tian once again immersed himself in cultivation. This cultivation lasted for two whole days.


    In next to no time, it was the appointed day for Xiao Lin and the big shot of the Azure Province Academy to arrive.


    Early in the morning, Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie had directly come looking for him. Lin Tian had completely stabilized his strength at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    As for the God Transforming Steps and the Primordial Spirit Thorn, they were now Lin Tian''s trump cards.


    After waiting for not even half a day, the important person from the Azure Province Academy arrived first. It was a white-bearded old man who seemed to be familiar with Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie. That person''s gaze finally landed on Lin Tian.


    Only then did Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie call Lin Tian over to see the old man.


    When he looked at Lin Tian, he softly said: "Lin Tian, you should know that this time, you originally caused a great disaster. If it wasn''t for your master losing his dignity to beg your grandmaster, I wouldn''t have forcefully come forward to protect you."


    "Grandteacher?" Lin Tian was slightly startled. Then, he seemed to have suddenly understood the words that Ling Tianlie had said back then, "This opportunity was given to you by your master with his dignity".


    After hearing what the old man said today, his master had actually given up his dignity to ask for a chance from his ancestor ¡­


    Lin Tian immediately had some doubts. His own master was his master, but if his master went to ask his master, why would he give up his dignity?


    Could there be another secret behind this? Moreover, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something, why did his master leave the Qing Province Academy to become the Principal of this Sky Dragon Academy? Moreover, his strength was constantly declining, and the death aura that caused him to slide down from the sea of consciousness before ¡­ ¡­


    These things immediately rushed into Lin Tian''s heart, causing him to be unable to help himself from beginning to ponder. Of course, even more than that, Lin Tian was still very grateful towards Xiao Yunhai for everything he had done for him.


    Xiao Yunhai saw that Lin Tian''s expression wasn''t right, so he immediately interrupted the old man: "Elder Zhang, you should tell Tian''er, just how is this assessment method?"


    He didn''t say anymore and stared at Lin Tian with a burning gaze. He then asked: "Lin Tian, let me ask you this. How much do you know about my Azure Province?"


    Lin Tian was flabbergasted. He didn''t know why Elder Zhang suddenly asked such a strange question, but he still truthfully told him everything he knew about the Azure Province Academy.


    Listening to Lin Tian''s reply, Elder Zhang lightly smiled, then said: "It seems like your understanding of the Azure Province''s school is only limited to the legends of the common people. Fine, today I will properly tell you about the Azure Province''s school."


    After Lin Tian heard these words, he knew that his understanding of the Azure Province Academy wasn''t too much and wasn''t that accurate either.


    Qingzhou Academy is one of the Five Great Academies of Tian Luo Country. The other four academies are the Royal Academy of Tian Luo Country, the Sword Inquisition, the Misty Academy, and the Tiger Wolf Battalion of Tian Luo Country. "


    These five academies are all official academies that are directly subordinate to the current king, and also academies that want to transport talents to Tian Luo Kingdom. These five academies are all powerful organizations in Tian Luo Kingdom, and their status is extremely high in any factions or departments. These five academies can directly recruit talented students from various cities in the entire country, and are not influenced by anyone.


    He originally thought that when Lin Tian heard this, he would be extremely shocked, but Lin Tian''s face did not have the slightest expression. He only quietly listened to Elder Zhang explain.


    "Interesting. The other places'' students are all frogs at the bottom of a well. Hearing me mention these five academies, they all had faces of shock and yearning, but Lin Tian was actually able to remain calm. He already far surpasses those people."


    Elder Zhang thought to himself. His impression of Lin Tian had improved quite a bit.


    "The disciples recruited by the Five Great Academies are all extraordinary talents. It can be said that if any of the disciples from the Five Great Academies were to be released, they would be considered the top experts in the entire city."


    It''s also because of this that the Five Great Academies only recruit geniuses, no matter what, even if this genius has a murder case, kill the prince, kill the people from the royal family, it''s not a problem as long as you have enough talent, you can enter one of the Five Great Academies, no matter how strong you provoke them, how many people will chase after you, or even if you''re a criminal wanted by the royal family, as long as you can enter the academy, the Five Great Academies will settle all of them for you.


    "Lin Tian, can you understand what I''m saying?" Elder Zhang suddenly asked.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. The meaning behind Elder Zhang''s words was very clear. His meaning was that killing Luo Lie wasn''t a big deal.


    As long as he was able to show sufficient talent, it would be worth it for the Azure Province Academy to stand up for him. There was no harm in killing Luo Lie. The Azure Province could completely help him settle the matter.


    Even if the Second Prince wanted him dead, the Azure Province Academy would still be able to protect him.


    Elder Zhang saw Lin Tian''s expression and knew that Lin Tian understood what he meant. He also smiled and said: "That''s right, not to mention you killed the Prince of Sky Dragon City, even if you killed a prince, as long as your talent is strong enough, my Azure Province Academy can still protect you!"


    "What arrogant words. To be able to say something so outrageous as killing a prince. It seems like the Azure Province Academy no longer has any respect for the Imperial Family!" At this moment, a violent shout came from outside the Sky Dragon Academy!

 C89

    "Who is it?" At the same time, Ling Tianlie had already let out a loud shout as his palm swept towards the incoming person crazily.


    The monstrous palm energy was incomparably vigorous, directly piercing through the air and slamming into the incoming figure.


    However, the person did not resist the incoming palm attack. Instead, he allowed it to strike his body, and in the next moment, the originally powerful and frightening power completely disappeared in an instant. It did not affect that person in the slightest.


    "The fifth level of the Astral Reaching Realm is considered a top-level expert in this little place. Unfortunately, it''s still far from enough in front of me." That person coldly laughed as a powerful wave of energy gathered in his palm and quickly swept towards Ling Tianlie, "There''s no need to be impolite. You should try and receive my palm strike as well!"


    Monstrous Yuan Power quickly gathered, transforming into an enormous Yuan Power palm that ruthlessly crushed towards Ling Tianlie.


    Ling Tianlie instantly felt a gust of astral wind blow towards him, the strong force causing him to be almost unable to open his eyes.


    But at this moment, the power of that palm had already landed in front of Ling Tianlie. If he were to use his palm to block now, it would already be too late.


    Lin Tian stubbornly stared at that person and his heart was filled with shock. This was a steamroll, right, this was a naked steamroll. Ling Tianlie was simply no match for that person, he couldn''t even receive a single palm from that person.


    But at this time, Elder Zhang suddenly waved his palm. The power of that palm instantly annihilated that person''s large palm made of spirit energy. As the power collided, Lin Tian felt a strong wind blowing towards him.


    Was this a showdown between experts?


    At the same time Lin Tian''s heart was shocked, he also felt his mouth go dry. It wasn''t because of anything else, but because of excitement.


    That''s right, it was excitement. Lin Tian did not feel any fear. Fear, he only felt excitement. He could feel that the blood in his body seemed to be boiling. Lin Tian''s heart was filled with unprecedented excitement.


    He felt that one day, he would also become such an expert!


    He knew that he was no match for that person and could only suffer from a hidden loss. Luckily, Elder Zhang was the one who saved him in the end, otherwise, with this palm strike, Ling Tian Lie might very well have been severely injured.


    "Nine Astral Realms?" That person was also shocked and then stared at Elder Zhang. "So it''s the Elder Zhang from the Azure Province Academy. No wonder he was able to receive a palm from me. Did you say those words just now?"


    Needless to say, even Lin Tian knew of this person''s background. This person was most likely the aide sent by the Second Prince, the one with the strength of the eighth level of the Star River, Xiao Lin!


    Elder Zhang''s gaze swept over Xiao Lin as he coldly said, "The guests under the Second Prince have the same temper as the Second Prince. However, I''m afraid the Second Prince has yet to ascend to the throne.


    As soon as Elder Zhang spoke, he gave a large hat to the Second Prince. That Xiao Lin immediately choked, but did not dare to linger on this topic.


    Elder Zhang, this time I came under the orders of the Second Prince to investigate the death of King Luo Lie of Yongan City. Now that I found out that it was a brat called Lin Tian who killed me, I came to find Lin Tian. Xiao Lin did not say much and directly said that he was looking for Lin Tian.


    "Who is Lin Tian?" Xiao Lin directly asked the crowd.


    "I am." Lin Tian did not retreat in the slightest and directly stood out. Living under the protection of others and never being able to grow, Lin Tian naturally was not willing to live under the protection of others.


    The current Xiao Lin was only at the eighth level of the Star River Realm. In the future, Lin Tian would definitely meet an even stronger opponent. If he relied on others for everything, Lin Tian wouldn''t have any great achievements in his life.


    He had to face it himself.


    "He''s just a kid at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm ¡­ How did you kill Luo Lie?" A trace of astonishment flashed across Xiao Lin''s face. He had only sensed Lin Tian''s strength for a moment and had already sensed it. Lin Tian was only at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm, yet he was able to kill Luo Lie who was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage?


    He really didn''t know how that Luo Lie cultivated to the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    "Luo Lie killed my kin, damn it!" Lin Tian coldly spat out these words, an intense killing intent immediately emitting from Lin Tian''s body. It was extremely terrifying.


    "Oh, this is interesting. You are a fifth level Qi Hai warrior, and you even have this kind of power ¡­ Not bad." Xiao Lin flatly praised Lin Tian, but in the next moment, the spirit energy in his hand frantically gathered together: "But you killed King Yongan, so you should naturally repay it with your life. Boy, I admire your courage, under this palm, you will die happily, which can be considered as my kindness to you."


    A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Lin''s face.


    In the next moment, that palm madly struck towards Lin Tian like a tornado.


    "If you want to make a move, you haven''t even asked me for my opinion!" Lin Tian still hadn''t moved, but Elder Zhang in front of Lin Tian moved first. His hand immediately surged with monstrous power as he blocked in front of Lin Tian.


    He waved his palm and once again intercepted Xiao Lin''s palm.


    "Bang bang!" A loud blast rang out and the force scattered in all directions. The force of the backlash actually forced Xiao Lin to retreat half a step.


    Xiao Lin''s bloodthirsty gaze immediately locked onto Elder Zhang: "You old bastard, on the account that you''re a citizen of the Azure Province Academy, I''ve already tolerated you quite a bit. Now, you actually still want to block me? Do you know whose life I came by?"


    "I know, didn''t you just say that the second prince''s orders ¡­" Elder Zhang replied blandly.


    "Then why did you still dare to stop me? Don''t think that I''m afraid of you just because you''re at the ninth level of the Astral Reaching Realm." Xiao Lin said viciously.


    "Then do you know whose life I came here on?" Elder Zhang''s tone became stern.


    "Who?"


    "The current king!" Elder Zhang suddenly spoke as monstrous elemental energy exploded from his body, enveloping the surrounding people.


    "My Azure Province Academy follows the king''s orders and finds geniuses within the borders of Tian Luo. We train them to serve the king." Elder Zhang said arrogantly, "Not to mention that you were sent by the Second Prince, even if it''s the order of the current king, don''t think you can stop me from selecting talent!"


    "Hehe, this is really funny. Why do you want me to kill this boy? What does it have to do with me if you want to select talents!" Xiao Lin''s expression was fierce and his tone was filled with anger, as though he could erupt at any moment.


    "What a coincidence, the person you want to kill is the person I want to select. Moreover, it''s a top talent!" Elder Zhang''s eyebrows twitched as he said.


    The killing intent on Xiao Lin''s face intensified as he sinisterly said, "Old thing, it looks like you''re purposely trying to make life difficult for me!"


    "What? You want to fight?" Elder Zhang looked at Xiao Lin''s stance and immediately smiled, "It''s been a long time since I''ve tried to move my muscles. If I wanted to make a move, I wouldn''t mind killing you. I don''t believe that the second prince would send people to kill me if I killed you ¡­"


    "You have to have the ability to kill me!" Xiao Lin was not afraid. Although his strength was only at the eighth level of the Astral Realm, his true combat strength was definitely not inferior to any expert at the ninth level of the Astral Realm.


    "Ability?" Elder Zhang laughed involuntarily. He directly extended his hand and a small tower suddenly appeared on his old hand. The tower quickly grew in size and rose from the ground in the blink of an eye.


    At the same time, Elder Zhang''s voice also sounded, "There are quite a few people who have died under this tower. I wonder if you are one of them?"


    "Exquisite Pagoda, you actually brought the Exquisite Pagoda!" The ruthlessness on Xiao Lin''s face earlier vanished without a trace, and replacing it was a face full of terror.


    "You actually recognize this Exquisite Pagoda? What? Do you still want to fight me?" Old Zhang said with a faint smile.


    "Humph!" Xiao Lin snorted but did not dare to say that he wanted to fight again.


    He did not intend to kill Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin was the Second Prince''s hanger-on, and with the coming of the monarch''s time, the Second Prince was also a powerful contender for the throne. No one would know who would be the emperor until the very last moment, so there was naturally no need to offend the Second Prince.


    Besides, the reason he came here was to test Lin Tian''s talent and to see if he was worth the school protecting him.


    At this moment, Xiao Lin did not waste any more time and could proceed.


    Elder Zhang looked at Lin Tian, then said: "Lin Tian, let''s continue."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "Elder Zhang, please enlighten me."


    "Mm, the reason why your grandmaster asked me to come here this time is to test your talent. If your talent is indeed monstrous enough, I will naturally protect you. However, if your talent is ordinary and not worthy for my Azure Province to stand up for you, then don''t blame the others ¡­" Elder Zhang said lightly.


    "Of course I know that. Just that, Elder Zhang, what kind of examination method is this?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Do you see this pagoda?" Old Zhang pointed to the pagoda in front of Lin Tian and laughed.


    At this moment, the pagoda had turned from a small, exquisite pagoda to a huge pagoda that was as tall as the heavens. The pagoda''s peak pierced through the clouds, and one could not see its peak.


    "This tower is the Linglong Treasure Pagoda and it is the most precious treasure in the Azure Province. It is originally used for the disciple exam, but in order to solve your situation today, your ancestor made an exception and brought me here, opening it for you alone." Elder Zhang explained.


    So it turned out that this tower was used for the Azure Province''s disciple selection.


    At the end of every year, the Azure Province Academy would hold a grand selection competition to recruit students.


    The disciples who passed the first selection, the second round, were chosen using this Linglong Treasure Pagoda.


    There were many disciples who took part in the primary selection, such as the previous Sky Dragon Academy. Because of Xiao Yunhai''s existence, there was a special primary selection quota.


    However, the second round of selection was held in the Azure Province Academy, because this Linglong Treasure Pagoda was located right in the center of the academy.


    But this time, for Lin Tian, Elder Zhang had specially come from the Azure Province Academy to bring this treasure over for Lin Tian''s survival training. From this, it could be seen how much effort Xiao Yunhai had put in for himself.


    And this Linglong Treasure Pagoda''s selection process is very simple and crude. Your potential depends on how high you can go to. The higher the floor, the greater your potential.

    Lin Tian gratefully glanced at Xiao Yunhai, and Xiao Yunhai faintly smiled. Needless to say, he already knew that Xiao Yunhai should have paid a lot for this.


    However, no matter how much gratitude they felt, it was useless. Only by proving their own talent and potential would they be able to be worthy of Xiao Yunhai''s sacrifice.


    As for the grievances that he had suffered back then, the people that framed him, Lin Tian would carefully investigate them one by one. As a disciple, what he needed to do was to uphold his master''s name, and at that time, no matter who it was that bullied his master, Lin Tian would always help him find them one by one.


    "Lin Tian, go. Whether or not you can overcome today''s obstacle and walk on the blue clouds will depend on your own performance!" Elder Zhang said faintly.


    Without hesitation, Lin Tian directly ascended the Linglong Treasure Pagoda.


    He was truly afraid that this thing would turn against him and use the divine power of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda to suppress him, he really did not dare to bet his life on it. He stared at the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, his eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that this boy had the most average talent, that at that time, he would use the cruelest method to kill him and wash away his shame.


    After Lin Tian entered the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, there was a faint white light on top of the pagoda.


    Elder Zhang pointed at the speck of light and said: "That is Lin Tian. This old man would like to see just how monstrous of a person it would be to have Yun Hai give up his son like that!"


    Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie were both previously instructors in the Azure Province Academy, so they naturally knew about the wonders of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. Both of them nodded their heads. Honestly speaking, the two were more looking forward to Lin Tian''s performance.


    As soon as he entered the first floor of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, Lin Tian felt as if he had entered another space.


    The surroundings were dark, and there were faint traces of light. However, the entire space was empty, and there was nothing there ¡­


    Lin Tian was surprised. This Linglong Treasure Pagoda, just what test was it and how was it going to be tested? But just as Lin Tian was feeling puzzled, there was a sudden movement within the pagoda.


    "Someone''s here?" Lin Tian instantly reacted and was about to attack in the next moment.


    But when that person arrived in front of Lin Tian, Lin Tian exclaimed.


    "How, how is this possible!"


    Following the dim light, Lin Tian could also see that the person who had arrived in front of Lin Tian was impressively himself!


    Or in other words, that person had the exact same face as him!


    "Who are you?" Lin Tian asked in surprise.


    The person did not say anything and directly made his move. The moment he made his move, it was precisely the Great Destiny Fist that Lin Tian had learned!


    However, was that person''s spiritual energy merely at the Mortal Realm?


    That''s right, he was only at the Mortal Realm Stage 1.


    Lin Tian immediately relaxed his heart and directly threw a palm towards that person.


    "Boom boom!" A sound.


    With Lin Tian''s palm, he actually directly exploded that person''s body. That person''s body exploded and turned into a ray of light that entered Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian instantly felt an extremely pure spiritual energy enter his body. After being moved by the whirlpool in his dantian, it directly turned into Essence Qi and stored in Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian was both surprised and happy. This Exquisite Pagoda actually had such an advantage.


    After that person was blasted apart by Lin Tian''s palm, the entire space started to collapse. In the next moment, Lin Tian entered another space.


    At the same time, the crowd outside could clearly see that the white dot representing Lin Tian had already reached the second floor of the Exquisite Pagoda.


    "Yes, the first level of Qi Disciple is indeed not a difficult thing for Tian''er." Xiao Yunhai lightly said to Ling Tianlie.


    Ling Tian Lie also nodded his head. They had previously been in charge of the Exquisite Pagoda''s assessment. Therefore, they were very clear about what was inside the Exquisite Pagoda.


    At the same time, Lin Tian carefully examined the space in front of him. This space was actually not that much different from the space just now. It was just that it was a bit brighter than the space before.


    "This should be the second level." Lin Tianxin thought.


    At this moment, another person walked out from the space.


    It was actually Lin Tian himself.


    That person still had the same face as Lin Tian. It was just that Lin Tian could feel that his strength had already reached the fifth level of Qi Disciple!


    The moment that person saw Lin Tian, he immediately made his move.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly attacked. He also used the Great Destiny Fist.


    The instant the two fists collided, that person was once again smashed into pieces by Lin Tian. After that, he turned into a streak of light and charged into Lin Tian''s body. The purer Spiritual Energy instantly turned into Essence and stored in Lin Tian''s body.


    Space once again collapsed and in the next moment, Lin Tian once again arrived in another space.


    Outside the Exquisite Pagoda, the white dot of light representing Lin Tian had once again flashed and arrived at the third floor.


    Once again coming to this space, Lin Tian''s heart felt a bit more at ease.


    He had basically figured out what was going on.


    This Exquisite Pagoda should be able to use one''s own strength to create a person that was exactly the same as Lin Tian.


    For example, the first floor only had Lin Tian at Qi Disciple level 1, and the second floor only had Lin Tian at Qi Disciple level 5. Right now this should be the third floor, but he didn''t know how strong "Lin Tian" was.


    Lin Tian''s gaze was cold as he vigilantly looked around.


    Indeed, in the next moment, another Lin Tian suddenly appeared.


    Without any hesitation, "Lin Tian" once again displayed a punch. It was still the Great Fortune Fist, but his strength was already at the ninth level of Qi Disciple.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and attacked again. It was also Great Destiny Fist.


    Without wasting any time, he still blasted out a punch.


    Lin Tian''s current strength was at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. To him, an existence below the Qi Hai realm was something he could easily destroy with a single punch.


    Lin Tian at the ninth level of the Refinement Stage had a purer and purer Spiritual Energy when his body collapsed. It was completely stored within Lin Tian''s body and turned into Essence.


    Lin Tian could feel that he broke through three levels in a row. The amount of Spiritual Energy provided for him in these three levels was equal to half a month of bitter cultivation.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became even more excited about passing the next stage. This was not only passing the stage, but also a heavenly great fortune.


    The light outside of the tower once again flickered. It was already the fourth level.


    Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie''s faces were filled with anticipation. Of course, they also knew that with Lin Tian''s strength, the first few floors were not a problem for Lin Tian.


    Elder Zhang''s face was expressionless. He naturally understood that those who passed the first few levels would all be able to pass the first selection.


    The real crisis had yet to begin.


    However, by the side, the expression on Xiao Lin''s face became abnormally vicious.


    The fourth floor.


    This time, ''Lin Tian'' was an existence at the first level of the Qi Hai realm.


    For the current Lin Tian, passing the first level of the Qi Hai realm was not difficult at all.


    The fifth floor.


    Lin Tian had still passed the third level of the Qi Hai realm, ''Lin Tian''.


    The sixth level, this time it was Lin Tian, who was at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    In other words, the "Lin Tian" that was created in the Exquisite Pagoda this time was actually the same as Lin Tian''s original strength.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were filled with anticipation. In fact, he also really wanted to see just how strong the Lin Tian he had created in the Exquisite Pagoda was compared to him.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" As soon as "Lin Tian" came out, he immediately used the Great Fortune Fist.


    The monstrous fist power instantly swept towards Lin Tian.


    "Interesting!" Lin Tian could already feel a bit of pressure. Right now, the strength of this virtual person was already on par with his. However, Lin Tian wasn''t afraid at all. He had the God Transforming Steps in his hands.


    Also, with the help of the virtual person''s battle, Lin Tian could also properly test the Spirit Transformation Steps he had just cultivated and see how strong it really was.


    The God Transforming Steps was used by Lin Tian. While he was moving, Lin Tian had already consecutively punched over a dozen Great Destiny Fist, but that virtual human unexpectedly had not even thrown a single fist at him.


    The power of the God Transforming Steps still caused Lin Tian to be pleasantly surprised.


    Just as he threw his last punch, Lin Tian immediately roared: "Explode for me!"


    In an instant, the body of the virtual human exploded and turned into spirit energy, which was absorbed by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian laughed in a low voice: "The virtual Lin Tian created by the Linglong Treasure Pagoda is still too rigid. Although he has the strength of a fifth level Qi Hai warrior, he doesn''t have any thoughts. His strength, even if it is a virtual person with the same strength as him, Lin Tian can still crush him."


    Seventh level!


    In a short moment, Lin Tian had already rushed to the seventh floor.


    When he arrived at the seventh floor, Lin Tian discovered that the space he was currently in was an extremely narrow space. Obviously, he was inside the tower, and the light had already completely dispersed the darkness.


    Lin Tian took a step forward and in the next moment, five people swarmed in from all directions.


    Five virtual "Lin Tian", five "Lin Tian" at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm. At this moment, the five virtual reality people were firmly surrounding Lin Tian.


    "Five of me?" Lin Tian Deng felt that it became more and more interesting.


    "That''s good too. The five of you will be able to test the power of the God Transforming Steps with their combined attacks. If I don''t want you to meet me, you''ll never be able to touch me!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, he once again punched out towards the person in front of him.


    However, the person in front of him had unexpectedly also used his teleportation to dodge his attack.


    "God Transforming Steps?" Lin Tian was both surprised and suspicious, but just as he was in a daze, the virtual human behind him had already punched his body.


    BOOM! BOOM! The strength of one palm solidly hit Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian then retracted his thoughts and focused on the fight. This was the most difficult one. The virtual person created by the Exquisite Pagoda could actually use the God Transforming Steps?


    Was it because he had used the God Transforming Steps?


    This time, it was going to be troublesome. Five individuals with the strength of the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm who could use the God Transforming Steps ¡­

 C91

    At the same time, outside of the Exquisite Pagoda, Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie''s faces showed some nervousness. The seventh floor was a threshold for all those who had entered the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial.


    Elder Zhang''s gaze was indifferent, but he had already calculated in his heart, "If this child can''t even pass the seventh level, then he doesn''t have the qualifications to let the Azure Province Academy stand up for him. In fact, even if he can pass the seventh level, it only means that he has the qualifications to enter the third round of selection. But every year, there are at least eight hundred disciples that can reach this level.


    Thinking of this, Elder Zhang sighed. Forget it, let''s see if this child can break through to the seventh level.


    At this time in the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tian''s mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. Right now, he wanted to fight against five people who were also at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm and who also knew how to use the God Transforming Steps.


    If he wanted to rely on his tyrannical method to forcefully break through, it would obviously be impossible. Just now, Lin Tian had forcefully withstood the palm strike of one of the virtual people and had actually caused his blood to boil. Clearly, the strength of these five virtual people were not inferior to Lin Tian at all.


    If he couldn''t barge in, then he could only use other methods.


    For example, Primordial Spirit Thorn.


    Currently, Lin Tian could faintly feel the wonders of the Exquisite Pagoda.


    According to his own strength, this Exquisite Pagoda would simulate a virtual "Lin Tian" with the same strength as him to fight him. But the most amazing thing was that this virtual "Lin Tian" was not inferior to him in strength. Not only that, but most importantly, this Exquisite Pagoda could simulate his martial arts techniques and footwork martial arts based on Lin Tian''s martial arts.


    That was why when Lin Tian had displayed the God Transforming Steps, the "Lin Tian" in the Exquisite Pagoda had also used the "God Transforming Steps".


    But even so, Lin Tian wasn''t worried. As long as it was a simulated person, Lin Tian had a way to find his weakness. Lin Tian didn''t believe that he, a living person, could not beat these virtual people.


    Even if there were five of them, for Lin Tian, killing them wasn''t a difficult matter.


    Lin Tian''s gaze was firm and he no longer hesitated. He directly started to condense the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike within his own Divine Palace.


    According to the Origin Spirit Spikes, being able to condense ten Origin Spirit Spikes was already considered to be unleashing the might of the Origin Spirit Spikes. For an ordinary high grade talisman Master, condensing ten would indeed be considered very good, but for Lin Tian, ten would not be enough.


    With his current Spiritual Force, he would at least be able to condense over a hundred Primordial Spirit Thorns or so.


    Lin Tian did not attack again, but those virtual people did not stay idle. Each of them crazily rushed at Lin Tian. Those virtual people had the God Transforming Steps in their hands and their strength greatly increased. Each and every one of them crazily rushed at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian didn''t stand where he was and didn''t move. With no one attacking him, Lin Tian was able to properly cultivate the God Transforming Steps.


    Although under the pincer attack of the five people, Lin Tian also suffered quite a few punches, but his body''s toughness was not for show. The fist force that they sent out was something that Lin Tian could endure, but even so, Lin Tian''s grasp of the God Transforming Steps was gradually beginning to become skilled.


    Very quickly, the primordial spirit was completely formed inside Lin Tian''s Divine Palace. Lin Tian''s Divine Soul slightly moved and the spikes formed from spiritual energy shot out from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and pierced through the bodies of the virtual people.


    A few holes immediately appeared on the virtual human''s forehead. Then, their bodies suddenly exploded and turned into flowing lights that drilled into Lin Tian''s body.


    If there was any danger, then the seventh floor was already successfully passed.


    The eighth floor.


    Outside of the Exquisite Pagoda, Ling Tianlie and Xiao Yunhai both let out a sigh of relief. Passing the seventh floor would at least prove Lin Tian''s potential. He was already qualified to enter the third round of the selection.


    He naturally knew what breaking through the seventh level meant, and he had underestimated this brat. However, if this was the case, he could not be left alive. If he were to stay, it would become a disaster sooner or later.


    Just as he entered the eighth floor, Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t right. There were already people waiting for him in the eighth floor.


    This was slightly different from the situation on the previous few floors. The previous few floors were filled with people only when Lin Tian entered them, but now that Lin Tian had just entered, he saw a person waiting for him.


    Seeing that person''s back, Lin Tian didn''t need to guess to know it was "me" again.


    The Exquisite Pagoda had actually created him.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Without waiting for Lin Tian to move, Lin Tian who was standing there actually made the first move.


    A sound of breaking through the air came out. Lin Tian instantly felt danger, but in the next moment, his own Divine Palace became agitated. Lin Tian subconsciously used his mental power to block in front of him.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." His own Spiritual Energy was immediately destroyed by that person''s attacks.


    Lin Tian could clearly see that the attack method that that person was using was unexpectedly the Primordial Spirit Thorn!


    Those were transparent spikes. Previously, Lin Tian didn''t see it too clearly, but right now, he could see it clearly. That''s right, it was an Immortal Soul Spike.


    The power of that Primordial Spirit Thorn was not any weaker than the power he could unleash.


    Lin Tian was filled with suspicion. This Exquisite Pagoda was truly well-deserved of its reputation. The "Lin Tian" created in the virtual world of the eighth floor was actually a Symbol Master.


    He was actually able to unleash the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike.


    That "Lin Tian" had also turned around to look at Lin Tian. The corner of his mouth even had a trace of a faint smile.


    After he had figured out the secrets of the Exquisite Pagoda, he had carefully observed the changes in the people he fought with along the way. But just now, without exception, everyone was expressionless and their eyes were empty.


    But right now, this Lin Tian unexpectedly had a smile, and his eyes were no longer as stiff as before. It was as if he had feelings for him.


    Lin Tian was even more shocked, but being shocked was being shocked. The battle still continued.


    This was because after he used the ''Yuan Spirit Stab'', ''Lin Tian'' had once again charged over. This time, he used the martial art that he was famous for, the Great Creation Fist.


    However, Lin Tian could also feel at this moment that this "Lin Tian" in front of him used the Great Fortune Fist. Compared to everyone else, it was already quite strong, to the point that it could be compared to the Great Fortune Fist that Lin Tian displayed.


    "Interesting." Lin Tian slightly narrowed his eyes, and used the God Transforming Steps to shift his shadow, dodging Lin Tian''s fist.


    His hand was not idle either. He also sent out a Great Destiny Fist towards that person.


    He also used the God Transforming Steps and his speed was not any slower than Lin Tian''s. He also dodged Lin Tian''s palm.


    "It''s getting more and more interesting." Lin Tian muttered to himself. He really did not believe that he would be defeated by a fake "Lin Tian".


    The stronger this fake was, the more it could arouse Lin Tian''s fighting spirit.


    "Primordial Spirit Thorn!" Lin Tian once again used the Spirit Sting. The Spirit Sting pierced through the air, creating whooshing sounds. In the next moment, it arrived in front of "Lin Tian".


    That "Lin Tian" was not in a hurry. A strong spiritual force suddenly erupted from his body and instantly condensed around his body. It turned into an incomparably strong spiritual force barrier and firmly protected him.


    "Do you even know my methods?" Lin Tian Deng shouted in disbelief.


    He could already feel that the Mental Energy that was gushing out from that person''s body was not the least bit inferior to his own. Moreover, this person actually knew how to use Mental Energy to protect his body and it was not one bit inferior to Lin Tian''s.


    The Immortal Soul Piercing Spike pierced through his spiritual force barrier. Its power was greatly reduced and its attack power was greatly weakened. To that person, it was no longer a fatal threat.


    Lin Tian was astonished, but his hands did not stop. After he displayed the Immortal Soul Piercing Skill just now, his hands began to frantically surge with overflowing Essence Qi.


    "Great Destiny Fist, first move to break through the heavens, second move to destroy the sun and moon, third move, shattering the river of stars!" The three stances become one!


    Three palm prints condensed on Lin Tian''s hands as he directly attacked the fake "Lin Tian".


    That fake Lin Tian wanted to stop it, but it was already too late. His figure moved, wanting to use his God Transforming Steps to dodge Lin Tian''s fatal attack, but it was already too late.


    Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps had arrived like a shadow, and this palm heavily smashed onto the fake "Lin Tian".


    At the same time, Lin Tian didn''t have the slightest hesitation and lightly said: "Explode for me!"


    The fist force from the Great Manifestation Fist instantly exploded and directly shattered the fake Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian immediately let out a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, the space once again collapsed. In the next moment, Lin Tian arrived at the ninth floor.


    Outside of the Exquisite Pagoda, the dot of light representing Lin Tian had also entered the ninth floor.


    "Interesting." Without waiting for Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie to speak, Elder Zhang had already taken the initiative to speak.


    Now that he''d broken through to the ninth level, there was a good show to see.


    The ninth floor.


    Lin Tian had just arrived at the ninth floor when he heard a faint voice: "Not bad, to actually be able to come to the ninth floor. With this kind of potential, it can be considered above average in the entire Qingzhou Academy."


    Lin Tian slightly shivered, but in the next moment, he became fully alert.


    "Who?"


    "Ask me?" The person who had spoken earlier suddenly raised his head. It was Lin Tian''s face again.


    It was just that this time, Lin Tian''s expression was even richer, and there was even a demonic smile on his face. Currently, he was sizing up Lin Tian from head to toe, and then he said: "You''re not asking me a question, who am I? I am you! "

 C92

    Lin Tian''s gaze turned cold: "Pretending to be ghosts!" At the same time, without even waiting for that person to make a move, Lin Tian already made the first move. He suddenly shouted out explosively: "Great Destiny Fist!"


    Monstrous Essence Qi instantly gushed out, directly striking towards the fake Lin Tian.


    "Great Manifestation Fist?" That person laughed involuntarily. Then, he faintly said: "Look carefully, the Great Manifestation Fist is not something that you can execute like that!"


    The Essence in that person''s hand surged as he also used the Great Fortune Fist. However, compared to Lin Tian, his Great Fortune Fist was also much stronger.


    It wasn''t because he was strong, but because his strength was the same as Lin Tian''s. Both of them were only at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    If this happened, then there was only one explanation. It was that Lin Tian''s comprehension of the Great Creation Fist had already surpassed Lin Tian''s own understanding.


    In other words, Lin Tian''s mastery of the Great Destiny Fist was inferior to this Lin Tian in front of him!


    The two of them smashed their fists together and Lin Tian was directly pushed back by that person''s punch. He was forced back several steps before he finally regained his balance.


    "How, how is this possible!" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with disbelief.


    But what made Lin Tian dumbstruck happened again. That person once again sent a fist flying over. This time, it was accompanied by the God Transforming Steps.


    In the blink of an eye, that person had already rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    "Boom boom!" This fist was incomparably violent, and what was even more terrifying was that that person''s fist was impressively the combination of three moves that Lin Tian had displayed on the eighth floor.


    This Lin Tian in front of him had a complete understanding of the Three Styles Convergence, and was even stronger than Lin Tian. His fist had completely displayed the power of the Great Manifestation Fist, its power was fierce and overbearing, almost wanting to punch Lin Tian until he exploded!


    But naturally, Lin Tian would not give up. He used the God Transforming Steps and his figure immediately disappeared from where he stood.


    But before he could recover his senses, that person''s God Transforming Steps had already followed Lin Tian. In fact, that person''s God Transforming Steps speed was more than twice that of Lin Tian''s and his speed was so fast that there was only an afterimage left. Lin Tian was directly caught up to by him halfway and landed a heavy punch on Lin Tian''s body.


    At this moment, he started to panic. This person was stronger than him in every aspect. His understanding of the God Transforming Steps and the Great Creation Fist both far exceeded his own.


    His own speed was not as fast as Lin Tian''s, he could only passively take a beating, but even if he was hit on the spot, the advantage of Lin Tian''s physical body was already completely gone, because his opponent''s strength, compared to Lin Tian''s, was much stronger. With his fist, Lin Tian was somewhat unable to withstand it.


    At the same time, Lin Tian was still unwilling to let it go. After Lin Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, "Lin Tian" immediately roared in a low voice: "Explode for me!"


    He actually knew how to use the fist power of the Great Development Fist, the most powerful power of the Great Development Fist. In other words, it could be said to be the power of the Great Creation Fist.


    Lin Tian immediately felt the fist power around his body surge. In the next moment, the fist power suddenly erupted. The monstrous fist power completely submerged Lin Tian.


    His body was injured by the fist force''s explosion, forming many terrifying wounds. At this moment, these wounds were continuously bleeding fresh blood.


    Lin Tian had difficulty speaking. Could it be that the ninth floor was his final destination?


    Although Lin Tian did not know how many floors the Exquisite Pagoda had in total, he also knew that if it was only the ninth floor, it would be nothing. It was far from reaching the level of a so-called genius.


    When Lin Tian thought of this, he immediately calmed down. His mood once again returned to calmness and he did not want to ask for help from the Horned Demon. He only wanted to rely on others, when would he be able to become a true expert?


    At most, they would just fight to the death. No matter how strong that person was, at worst, they would just fight to the death. Even if they only heavily injured that person, it would at least prove that Lin Tian had fought.


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated. His eyes were full of determination.


    A monstrous Essence Qi gathered in his hands. Level one, two, three ¡­ In an instant, Lin Tian also condensed three layers of palm prints. What he displayed was actually also the power of the third layer of the Great Destruction Fist.


    "What, you''re going to risk your life?" That person faintly smiled and then said: "You must be thinking of using the Immortal''s Manor''s Immortal Soul Stinger and the fist power of the Creation Fist at the third level to fight me to the death right now, right?"


    That person actually knew what Lin Tian was thinking and even said it exactly.


    "Unfortunately, do you think you''re the only Symbol Master? I also know the Immortal Soul Spikes!" That person''s body immediately surged with a monstrous amount of mental power. That mental power instantly converged in front of Lin Tian and at the same time, endless mental power quickly condensed into terrifying spikes. In an instant, the Origin Spirit Thorn completely formed and directly smashed towards Lin Tian.


    "This is?" Lin Tian''s pupils suddenly shrunk. He was clearly shocked by that person''s methods.


    He could actually form a Primordial Spirit Thorn outside of his body!


    If Lin Tian wanted to condense the Immortal Soul Thorn, he must have condensed the Origin Spirit Thorn inside his own Divine Palace before he could shoot it out of his body. But right now, this person was actually summoning his spiritual energy and starting to condense the Immortal Soul Thorn outside his body.


    The bit of confidence that Lin Tian had built up with great difficulty was now once again destroyed by that person.


    The person in front of him didn''t have any weaknesses. His strength was the same as Lin Tian''s, but his combat strength far surpassed Lin Tian''s.


    The power he displayed was also much stronger than Lin Tian''s. In fact, even Lin Tian''s trump card, the Yuan Spirit Spikes, was much stronger than Lin Tian''s ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian bitterly smiled. This time, he really was going to fall into his hands ¡­


    Seeing the change in Lin Tian''s expression, the corner of that person''s mouth once again revealed a smile.


    "Give up, you will never be my opponent!" There was a trace of bewitching in the man''s voice.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly raised his head: "Make me give up unless I die!"


    "Idiot. Since you want to die so badly, I''ll grant you that wish." That person''s eyes flickered. The Origin Spirit Thorn that was condensed in front of him instantly rushed crazily at Lin Tian.


    The power of the Immortal Soul Piercing Spear was incomparably strong. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    At this moment, Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace was completely finished. Countless Yuan Spirit Thorns rushed out of his body in the blink of an eye and welcomed the power of the Yuan Spirit Thorn unleashed by that person.


    In the blink of an eye, the two primordial spirit thorns completely clashed.


    It was a pity that the Origin Spirit Spikes that Lin Tian used were completely crushed by that person. His Origin Spirit Spikes were shattered in the blink of an eye, but that person still had some energy left as he directly struck towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian felt his own Divine Palace tremble. The power of the Primordial Spirit Thorn had already faintly injured his soul.


    But Lin Tian did not retreat. Instead, he rushed forward as if his life depended on it. He used the God Transforming Steps to the extreme and instantly arrived in front of that person.


    That person did not hesitate as he slightly dodged the God Transforming Steps and unexpectedly dodged Lin Tian''s attack.


    But Lin Tian once again faced the difficulties and went forward. He once again punched out with the Great Fortune Fist.


    But what Lin Tian didn''t understand was that while he desperately rushed forward, that person was a bit terrified and only used the God Transforming Steps to dodge Lin Tian and didn''t directly confront him.


    Lin Tian immediately felt that something wasn''t quite right. His opponent''s strength far surpassed his, but why did he need to avoid him?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s mind suddenly lit up. He seemed to have thought of something. This place was the Exquisite Pagoda. The person in front of him was created by the Exquisite Pagoda. He was only a virtual person!


    Moreover, Lin Tian suddenly thought of another thing. It was that from the moment he entered the ninth floor, this person had always been attacking his heart.


    Afterwards, regardless of whether it was the comprehension of martial arts, the usage of the God Transforming Steps, the Great Creation Fist, or even Mental Energy, that person was all much stronger than Lin Tian. It was also because of this that Lin Tian''s state of mind underwent a change.


    But that''s exactly the case. That person''s strength is indeed starting to get stronger and stronger ¡­


    Right, Lin Tian immediately understood. This person''s strength was based on his own mental state. If his mental state was unstable, that person''s strength would become stronger and stronger.


    So that''s how it was!


    Lin Tian suddenly understood. He finally understood that on the ninth floor, what was being tested wasn''t strength, but the heart!


    To be precise, it was the heart of martial arts.


    The heart of martial arts was firm. This trial wasn''t too difficult, and if one didn''t have a firm heart of martial arts, then it was destined that they wouldn''t be able to pass this trial.


    The more chaotic your state of mind is, the stronger your opponent will be, and you will never be able to defeat him.


    A trace of understanding suddenly appeared in Lin Tian''s heart.


    He stood there quietly, but he did not make a move again.


    "Kid, why, are you scared, have you decided to give up on resisting?" The man said in a mocking tone, but it was the first time that his tone showed a trace of panic.


    Lin Tian turned a deaf ear. After a long time, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes and silently looked at himself. After a long time, Lin Tian suddenly said: "Scatter for me!"


    "What are you doing ¡­" That person hadn''t even finished speaking when he exploded with a boom. He turned into a stream of light and entered Lin Tian''s body.


    It was also at this moment that Horned Demon''s voice rang out, "Kid, congratulations. You have steeled your heart for the path of martial arts and defeated yourself ¡­"

 C93

    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he could not help but ask: "Horned Demon, you''re not sleeping?"


    Lin Tian looked at the Horned Demon who hadn''t said anything and thought that after entering the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, there was some kind of unique power that sealed the Horned Demon.


    Horned Demon seemed to know Lin Tian''s thoughts and lightly smiled. He then replied: "In your eyes, this tower is indeed a treasure, but in my opinion, it''s not even fart. If you want to seal me, you think too much of me ¡­ ¡­"


    "Kid, let me tell you again. Although I am not a True Dragon, I am still a dragon!"


    "Alright, alright, alright. You''re the best, alright?" Lin Tian didn''t say anything more and began to feel the power that entered his body just now.


    Lin Tian also knew that even though the Exquisite Pagoda was called a trial, it was actually a lucky chance.


    From the start of the first floor, every time Lin Tian defeated a person, that person would turn into an extremely pure power and enter Lin Tian''s body.


    From the first floor to now, the ninth floor was always like this. Moreover, as his opponent''s strength increased, the strength that entered Lin Tian''s body also became stronger.


    Just now on the eighth floor, after Lin Tian defeated his opponent, the power entered Lin Tian''s body, almost causing him to faintly have the intention of breaking through.


    Right now the opponent on the ninth floor was even more powerful and the power that entered Lin Tian''s body was even more powerful. It directly caused Lin Tian''s body to change. Lin Tian felt his body slightly tremble and then unexpectedly silently broke through!


    6th level of the Qi Hai realm!


    Lin Tian hadn''t thought that such a change would occur.


    For the first time, Lin Tian felt that breaking through was such a simple matter.


    One had to know that his previous breakthroughs had all been through continuous battles, and then after painstaking cultivation breakthroughs. But now that he had broken through to the Exquisite Pagoda, he could actually do the same ¡­


    Not only that, after breaking through, Lin Tian felt that he had a deeper understanding towards the control of his own strength, especially the Great Fortune Fist and the God Transforming Steps. Lin Tian felt that if he were to use it now, its power would be at least ten times stronger than before!


    "After you have a firm heart of martial arts, your mental state has improved. Naturally, you will have a completely new understanding of martial arts and footwork." At this time, Horned Demon also suddenly opened his mouth and calmly explained.


    "So that''s how it is." Lin Tian nodded and no longer spoke about his curiosity towards the Exquisite Pagoda. Right now, he was only at the ninth floor, yet he already had such a lucky chance. Then what about above the ninth floor? What if he reached the top of the Exquisite Pagoda?


    Lin Tian looked forward to it more and more.


    It was also at this time that the entire space once again collapsed. In the next moment, Lin Tian arrived at the tenth floor.


    At this time, outside the Exquisite Pagoda.


    Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie''s faces were already brimming with joy. Lin Tian had actually made it to the tenth floor!


    They naturally knew that the ninth floor was a huge threshold, and only by passing this threshold could one be considered a genius, but if one could not pass this threshold, then they could only be considered average. Although after breaking through the seventh floor, one would already have the qualifications to enter the third round of the Qingzhou Institute''s selection, the effect of the Exquisite Pagoda was to discover one''s potential.


    Even within the Azure Province, he could be considered a genius.


    Compared to Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie, Elder Zhang was naturally more familiar with this matter. A look of gratification appeared on his face. Lin Tian was different. In the past hundred years, he was the first person to participate in the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial alone.


    Because of Xiao Yunhai''s request, the Headmaster would specially approve of him bringing the Linglong Treasure Pagoda over for Lin Tian''s survival training!


    Before, during the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial, there had been at least several thousand disciples that had participated. There was no lack of top talents.


    If a disciple who made him specially bring the Exquisite Pagoda and let him train alone did not even pass the ninth floor, then he would lose the face of the Azure Province''s school. If word of this got out, it would not be good, so Elder Zhang hoped that Lin Tian would be able to rush higher.


    Xiao Lin''s expression was incomparably gloomy. He had underestimated this kid. He never expected this brat to be able to rush all the way to the tenth floor.


    Thinking of this, Xiao Lin started to worry a little. If this kid''s talent was truly monstrous, the Azure Province Academy would definitely appear to protect him.


    But if he couldn''t kill Lin Tian, how could he report back to the Second Prince? Before coming here, the Second Prince had given him a death order. He had to take Lin Tian''s head to see him!


    For a moment, Xiao Lin was at a loss as well.


    However, at this time, the dot of light representing Lin Tian on the Exquisite Pagoda suddenly flashed again, and then rushed to the eleventh floor!


    "How can he be so fast!" At this moment, Elder Zhang also became excited.


    It was indeed fast because even Lin Tian never would have thought that the opponent on the tenth floor would be a demon beast. Moreover, it wasn''t a demon beast that was created in the virtual world, but a true demon beast.


    On the tenth level of the Exquisite Pagoda was a second level seventh rank demon beast, which was equivalent to a human seventh level Qi Hai martial artist. To Lin Tian, this kind of existence was a piece of cake.


    Not to mention that he had already broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm, even if he was at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm, it would have been effortless for him to take on this second level seventh level demonic beast.


    From what he had learned, Lin Tian could easily defeat a seventh level Qi Hai warrior, let alone a demonic beast.


    Lin Tian went head on against the demon beast and directly clashed with it. Impressively, he wanted to use his body to directly clash with the demon beast.


    The terrifying part of his body was completely displayed. That demon beast was actually the one that was knocked to death by Lin Tian ¡­


    Of course, Lin Tian did not hold back. The body of a demon beast was a treasure, let alone a Rank Two demon beast. Lin Tian directly put it into his storage ring.


    The eleventh floor.


    It was another Demonic Beast. However, this time, it was a Rank 2 Rank 9 Demonic Beast. It was equivalent to a 9th level Qi Hai warrior. For Lin Tian, this was a little difficult to deal with.


    After all, there were three levels of difference. The stronger a martial cultivator was, the more difficult it would be to challenge someone who was a level higher.


    Fortunately, the other party was only a demon beast.


    Lin Tian spent some effort and killed the demon beast.


    Twelfth floor.


    While Lin Tian was wholeheartedly trying to pass the trial, he had never thought that outside of the Exquisite Pagoda, Xiao Yunhai, Ling Tianlie, and Elder Zhang would already be excited.


    Twelfth floor!


    Elder Zhang naturally knew what the twelfth floor signified.


    The Linglong Treasure Pagoda evaluated the potential of a student based on his temperament and battle prowess.


    The first nine floors would be where the Exquisite Pagoda would imitate him. If he fought with a strong mind, then the first nine floors would be easy. Elder Zhang had met a strong mind before, so the first nine floors were cleared in a single go.


    Lin Tian''s performance couldn''t be considered as outstanding when compared to those people with strong personalities. At most, he was considered mediocre, but in the end, Lin Tian also rushed past them.


    This proved that Lin Tian''s temperament was still good. A firm heart of martial arts was extremely important to martial cultivators. If one''s heart of martial arts wasn''t firm, then one naturally wouldn''t walk on the martial path for too long!


    On the ninth floor, he had encountered a completely identical him. This trial tested his temperament, because whether it was strength or battle experience, he had to compete with the stronger refiners, and that was the inner demon in the hearts of the practitioners. If they could not defeat him, they would even feel fear, fear, and despair, and they would be eliminated by the Exquisite Pagoda.


    As for breaking through to the seventh level in the first nine levels, that was basically proof of one''s potential, and one could just barely make it into the third round.


    This meant that this child had a certain level of talent and could be nurtured and nurtured.


    Only those who truly broke through the ninth level, defeated themselves and exorcised their inner demons could be considered geniuses.


    However, to pass the first nine levels was only a genius.


    If Lin Tian wanted the Azure Province to stand up for him, it would be a little difficult.


    However, Lin Tian''s current performance was beyond Elder Zhang''s expectations. Especially the speed at which Lin Tian charged to the tenth and eleventh floor. It caused Elder Zhang to be endlessly shocked. How could Lin Tian be so fast?


    The Exquisite Pagoda had a total of 18 floors. The first nine floors were meant to temper the mind, but the last nine floors were a test of one''s true strength.


    Rather than calling it strength, it would be better to call it battle power.


    This was a test of a challenger''s combat ability.


    The last nine levels were filled with demon beasts.


    Those were real demon beasts. If they were to fight against the demon beasts, they really would have to see blood.


    But Lin Tian''s speed made Elder Zhang a bit suspicious. Could it be that Lin Tian didn''t encounter a demon beast, so why was his speed so fast?


    But in the moment of Elder Zhang''s suspicion, on the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tianjiao''s white dot of light flashed once again.


    The thirteenth floor!


    "How, how is this possible ¡­" In a short period of time, Lin Tian had continuously broken through three levels. If it were not for the fact that he was too familiar with the Exquisite Pagoda, Zhang Linglong would have suspected that the Exquisite Pagoda was broken ¡­


    "This kid, he didn''t cheat, right?" Elder Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking Ling Tianlie and Xiao Yunhai.


    This was truly unbelievable, and Elder Zhang couldn''t help but be suspicious of it.


    "Elder Zhang, have you forgotten that entering the Exquisite Pagoda, one is unable to use any other means ¡­" Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but remind him.


    The Exquisite Pagoda did indeed have restrictions. In the Exquisite Pagoda, anything that had external forces, be it treasures or runes, could not be used.


    Furthermore, if they were to forcefully use it, they would be directly sent out of the tower and lose the qualifications to continue the trial.


    Elder Zhang had actually forgotten about it in his excitement just now. However, his face was now filled with incredulity as he thought to himself, "Impossible, this is impossible ¡­"

 C94

    At this time, Lin Tian was panting heavily.


    After three consecutive battles, it was still difficult for him to bear the pressure. The demonic beast he had encountered on the tenth floor was a second level seventh rank martial artist, which was equivalent to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    On the eleventh floor, he encountered a rank 2 and rank 9 beast, which was equivalent to a human cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    As for the twelfth layer, it was already a peak rank nine second-level demonic beast, equivalent to a human half step into the Aurous Core stage.


    Now on the thirteenth floor, Lin Tian finally saw the true Aurous Core stage demon beast.


    A Golden Core Realm demonic beast was a Rank 3 Demonic Beast.


    At this moment, the demon beast in front of him was just around the third level first rank. It was also the demon beast that had just condensed a beast core.


    Lin Tian''s eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness as he once again charged at the demon beast.


    "The fourteenth floor, the fourteenth floor!" At this time, outside of the tower, Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie''s hearts were full of excitement, and they could not help but shout out.


    The astonishment in Elder Zhang''s eyes increased. He did not believe at all, or perhaps it could be said that he did not believe in Lin Tian''s speed.


    Was this a human?


    Was this the speed that a young man at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm should have?


    Previously, Elder Zhang had presided over countless second rounds of selections for Qingzhou Academy''s students, which was the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial. However, in the decades he had been in charge of the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tian was the first person he had encountered to reach the fourteenth floor so quickly.


    Elder Zhang only had one doubt. Was the Exquisite Pagoda broken? Had the demon beasts of the ninth floor and beyond not come out?


    Although Elder Zhang knew that the chances of this happening were close to zero, with Lin Tian''s terrifying speed, Elder Zhang had no choice but to convince himself that the Exquisite Pagoda had made a mistake.


    Or else, if Lin Tian had any special methods ¡­.


    At this moment, Xiao Lin, who was standing by the side, had a savage look in his eyes.


    This brat''s potential was indeed astonishing, and could be seen from the speed at which he rushed towards the tower.


    This kind of kid could not be allowed to live. Keeping him alive was no doubt raising tigers and causing trouble.


    Just when everyone was having their own thoughts.


    Lin Tian had already rushed to the fifteenth floor.


    Lin Tian had originally thought that the Exquisite Pagoda''s Trial would be difficult, but he hadn''t thought that it would actually be much simpler than he imagined. Especially after that, it had become increasingly easier.


    Although those monsters were strong, to Lin Tian, it was not a big deal. This body, Lin Tian specially checked his physical strength and discovered that his current body''s toughness was already comparable to a level three demon beast, and he wouldn''t be at a disadvantage.


    What did this mean? This meant that Lin Tian''s current physical body strength far exceeded that of a Jindan Stage martial artist. After all, a demon beast that was comparable to a Jindan Stage martial artist was almost as strong as Lin Tian''s physical body.


    In terms of speed, Lin Tian had the God Transforming Steps and his current understanding of the God Transforming Steps was completely different from before. Martial arts required constant practice in order to gain a deeper understanding.


    Right now, Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps could already be freely used. Those demon beasts couldn''t even touch Lin Tian''s body.


    In a martial arts competition, the power of the Great Manifestation Fist was more than enough.


    In terms of spiritual energy, Lin Tian''s Primordial Spirit Needle could be said to have a miraculous effect in the battle with the demon beast. In the previous battle with the third level demon beast, Lin Tian relied on his Primordial Spirit Needle to directly pierce through the demon beast''s soul.


    Fighting against demon beasts was much better for Lin Tian than fighting against "himself" before.


    The demon beasts on the fifteenth floor were much stronger than those on the fourteenth floor. This time, the demon beast in front of them had the strength of around the third level of the third level.


    It was equivalent to a third level Aurous Core stage cultivator.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly charged forward.


    "The fifteenth floor!" At this moment, Xiao Yunhai suddenly let out a sigh, as his heart was suddenly moved.


    He also didn''t think that Lin Tian would actually be able to rush to the fifteenth floor.


    The fifteenth floor, it meant that Lin Tian''s potential was high and high. In the Azure Province Institute, he was also a heaven''s pride level existence!


    Monster, there was only one word to describe Lin Tian right now. He really was a monster, he could actually reach the fifteenth floor!


    Back then, he, Xiao Yunhai, had also gone through the trial of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, and he had only reached the fourteenth floor.


    When facing a Rank 3 Demonic Beast that was comparable to an Aurous Core Stage cultivator, Xiao Yunhai''s defeat had already surpassed his limit.


    Back then, he was only at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    When he was only at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, he couldn''t even defeat a Rank 3 Demonic Beast. But now, Lin Tian had done it.


    Furthermore, the amount of time that Lin Tian stayed on the 14th floor was not very long. This meant that with his cultivation at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm, in an extremely short amount of time, Lin Tian had crossed over five levels of strength and killed the third level demonic beast that was comparable to a Golden Core realm cultivator!


    This made Xiao Yunhai somewhat absent-minded. This was the first time he felt that Lin Tian had grown up and was no longer a child in his eyes.


    To emerge victorious in the end, this was what Xiao Yunhai wanted to see the most.


    "The fifteenth floor!" At this time, Elder Zhang finally reacted. Elder Zhang had been in a trance, staring at the Exquisite Pagoda. When he saw the specks of white light on the 15th floor, he completely collapsed.


    "This, this is impossible, this is impossible!"


    Elder Zhang muttered to himself.


    If one made it past the ninth level and reached the tenth level, one could be considered a genius.


    And after breaking through the fourteenth floor and reaching the fifteenth floor, one could be called a genius within geniuses. In the thousand years of the history of the Azure Province, there were less than a hundred existences like that.


    A thousand years, less than a hundred, but there was one right in front of him right now?


    In the last ten years of the trial, there was not a single one. Most of them had died before reaching the thirteenth floor, and there were a few that had broken through to the fourteenth floor.


    But those people were also peak geniuses within the current Azure Province school, and they were the people that the school focused on training.


    However, an existence that had made it to the 15th floor suddenly appeared in front of him ¡­


    Elder Zhang''s eyes stared unblinkingly at the Exquisite Pagoda as he stared unwaveringly at the speck of light representing Lin Tian.


    One incense stick of time passed. Two incense sticks of time. Three incense sticks of time.


    Two hours quickly passed and Lin Tian still stayed on the fifteenth floor.


    "Looks like the fifteenth level is the limit for Tian." Ling Tian Lie sighed. He originally had some expectations for Lin Tian, but now he didn''t have much hope.


    He had also participated in the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial, so he naturally knew what was inside.


    Moreover, two hours had passed. Two hours of battle with the demon beast had passed. Lin Tian could not use his energy to defeat the demon beast.


    However, Ling Tianlie was already very satisfied with this result. The fifteenth floor had already surpassed all the geniuses who had entered the Azure Province for the past hundred years.


    And this was the best result of the Exquisite Pagoda''s trials in the last hundred years. Of course, it was also a record.


    The Azure Province Academy would naturally not let such a genius go. The Azure Province Academy would rather risk offending the second prince to protect Lin Tian. The crisis of Lin Tian could be considered to have been solved.


    "Eldest Brother, that might not be the case." At this time, Xiao Yunhai suddenly took a deep breath and said.


    "What do you mean?" Just as Ling Tianlie was about to ask Xiao Yunhai, he suddenly discovered that the white dot of light above the Exquisite Pagoda, which had not moved for two hours, had suddenly flickered!


    This ¡­


    Ling Tian Lie was so shocked that he was at a loss for words. At this moment, the white dot of light flickered for a moment before arriving at the sixteenth level!


    "Hiss ¡­" Ling Tianlie sucked in a breath of cold air fiercely and looked at the white dot of light in disbelief. Then, he stuttered: "Heavens ¡­ "Tian, you broke through the fifteenth level and reached the sixteenth level?"


    Silence. Xiao Yunhai did not reply, but a moment later, Xiao Yunhai''s wild laughter spread throughout the entire Sky Dragon Academy.


    "With a disciple like that, what more can I ask for!" Xiao Yunhai''s eyes were filled with tears. He had truly never thought that Lin Tian would actually be able to make it to the sixteenth floor!


    The Linglong Treasure Pagoda only had eighteen floors, but now Lin Tian had actually reached the sixteenth floor.


    In the thousand years of the Azure Province''s history, the number of people who could reach the sixteenth floor could be counted on one hand. As long as those people could reach the sixteenth floor, they could be said to be very well-known names.


    But even so, his disciple Xiao Yunhai, Lin Tian, had actually also done it.


    Elder Zhang''s lips were already trembling. A moment later, Elder Zhang suddenly thought of something. "We must tell this matter to the principal, we must tell the principal ¡­"


    He took out a paper crane from his chest and gently said a few words to it. Then, he infused his Essence into the paper crane. As Essence appeared within the paper crane, it immediately flapped its wings and flew away.


    Lin Tian really did not know what had happened in the outside world, but his strength was greatly depleted right now. Especially when he was on the 15th floor, he had fought a demon beast that was comparable to a third level of the Golden Core Stage.


    That was an extremely arduous battle. In the end, Lin Tian relied on his strong physical body and the unending supply of the whirlpool of Dantian to let Lin Tian exhaust himself to death from the demon beast.


    But after almost two hours of great battle, Lin Tian''s consumption of energy was also extremely terrifying. Lin Tian almost felt that he had almost reached his limit.


    But at this time, the whirlpool of Dantian would quickly exert its power and madly circulate, providing Lin Tian with a strong support.


    And this time, on the sixteenth floor, the opponent Lin Tian met was an even more terrifying demon beast.


    This was a third level fifth rank demon beast!


    This kind of demonic beast was comparable to a human cultivator at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    His strength was an entire realm higher than Lin Tian!


    "Another tough battle!" Lin Tian laughed bitterly, but he had never thought of giving up. He only had one thought in his mind, to fight to the end!

 C95

    Soon, six hours had passed.


    Outside of the Exquisite Pagoda, the white dot of light representing Lin Tian was still motionless on the sixteenth floor.


    However, Xiao Yunhai, Ling Tianlie, and Old Zhang stared unblinkingly at the Exquisite Pagoda for six hours.


    None of them dared to blink for fear of missing something.


    He had already secretly made up his mind. If Lin Tian failed to break through the 16th level, no, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, Xiao Lin would kill Lin Tian the moment he came out.


    If he were to kill Luo Lie, he would be on the opposing side of the Second Prince in the first place. Since such a genius could not be used by the Second Prince, he would have to eliminate him at his roots and directly behead him.


    At this time, within the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tian was at the edge of exhaustion.


    Rank three and five demon beasts were truly incomparable to those demon beasts from before.


    An existence like this, to Lin Tian, wanting to defeat it was simply as difficult as ascending to the heavens.


    Countless times, Lin Tian felt that he had reached his limit. When he wanted to give up, the persistent thoughts in his mind defeated the thought of giving up. The dragon blood in the whirlpool''s dantian was also unceasingly drawing out blood threads, circulating his Essence to provide Lin Tian with Essence support.


    This situation continued for dozens of times.


    In the end, Lin Tian persevered. It could be said that Lin Tian relied on the breath in his heart to persevere until now.


    But now, his physical body was on the verge of collapse. He bled profusely from all seven orifices, and his entire body was trembling violently. His legs couldn''t even hold on, as if he might collapse at any time.


    He felt that his body no longer belonged to him, and the divine soul in his Divine Palace had also become much more transparent. This was because he had continuously used the Primordial Spirit Thorn, and he had overdrawn a large amount of his mental energy.


    Compared to Lin Tian, the state of the demon beast wasn''t too good. When Lin Tian fought it, he first used his physical body to collide with it. Moreover, the Great Destiny Fist also landed punches on the demon beast''s body.


    Under this kind of violent attack, the Origin Soul Spikes continued to condense to pierce the beast spirit.


    At this moment, the demonic beast was also spent. Its four limbs were also trembling non-stop and were on the verge of collapsing.


    This state persisted for a long time before the Monstrous Beast finally could not bear it any longer. With a wild roar, it directly pounced towards Lin Tian in a berserk manner.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that this was the last attack of the demon beast. Success or failure, this one strike.


    Lin Tian naturally would not surrender. His entire body''s strength was poured into his hand, and his body suddenly leaped high into the air. He originally did not plan on giving in, but this time, he was going to be the final strike.


    "Bang bang!" A man and a beast collided, and monstrous power immediately spread out.


    Lin Tian''s body was directly sent flying. Lin Tian felt his head buzzing and a large amount of blood flowing out of his mouth and nose. He felt that the life force in his entire body was quickly dispersing.


    He was bathed in his own blood.


    As for that demon beast, it stood still. The next moment, with a rumble, that demon beast couldn''t hold on any longer and fell down.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, still retained the last bit of clarity in his mind. He struggled to stand up.


    However, before he could even use any more strength, his entire body fell down powerlessly.


    But at the end, Lin Tian yelled out with a mouthful of blood. His body was actually able to stand up again.


    At this moment, all the blood in his body had rapidly formed blood cocoons outside of his body, wrapping around him.


    The whirlpool of Dantian also sensed the danger in Lin Tian''s body, and the drop of fresh, red, and glistening dragon blood within the whirlpool of Dantian once again split out a bit. This time, the bit of blood that it separated out was even more than the previous ten times.


    The strand of blood qi, after being moved by the whirlpool of dantian, followed the meridian in Lin Tian''s body and quickly rushed towards Lin Tian''s entire body.


    Lin Tian''s body had lost all of its vitality. In reality, just from Lin Tian''s life force, Lin Tian was already a dead person. However, Lin Tian was still hanging on to his breath and did not swallow it.


    This strand of blood qi immediately showed its effect. Lin Tian''s originally lifeless body actually regained its vitality, the strong life force quickly restored Lin Tian''s damaged body.


    Also with the help of this blood qi, the blood cocoons outside of Lin Tian''s body strangely transformed into scale-like shapes.


    Those were the dragon scales.


    At this moment, besides the head being a human head, the rest of Lin Tian''s body had turned into the shape of a dragon. Even his two legs had turned into dragon tails.


    Accompanying this change of Lin Tian''s, with the stimulation of the blood aura, a wave of abnormally pure life force suddenly surged out from Lin Tian''s body, quickly healing Lin Tian''s injuries. Even Lin Tian''s Heavenly God Palace''s heavily damaged soul once again glowed.


    Sensing the change in Lin Tian''s body, Horned Demon couldn''t help but sigh: "This kid''s temperament is one in a million. Relying on that breath in his heart, he actually killed this demon beast. With this kind of mentality, how is he an object in the pool?"


    "But that''s good, this time I reached the limit, and I actually managed to absorb 1% of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence, and even stimulated the medicinal strength of the Floating Tu fruit, this brat can be considered to be extremely lucky, no wonder he chose to inherit our Dragon clan''s inheritance ¡­"


    Of course, Lin Tian was naturally unable to hear it.


    Lin Tian felt that his body was very hot, very hot. It was an extremely terrifying burning feeling, as if Lin Tian could melt at any time.


    But this feeling didn''t last for long. Lin Tian felt a cold feeling suddenly come from within his body. That cold feeling instantly dispelled that scorching feeling. That feeling made Lin Tian feel very comfortable.


    This state lasted for who knows how long.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness assail him.


    He yawned, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.


    Lin Tian did not notice that in the instant he closed his eyes, the space on the sixteenth floor completely collapsed. Lin Tian arrived at the seventeenth floor.


    In the Divine Manor, Horned Demon was slightly startled and then said with a sigh, "I''m afraid this stage will be yet another huge test ¡­"


    Horned Demon''s voice was inaudible, and right after, Lin Tian''s Divine Palace became completely silent. It seemed like Horned Demon also disappeared.


    At the same time.


    Outside the Exquisite Pagoda, Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie were so excited that they almost jumped up.


    Lin Tian actually charged past the sixteenth floor and arrived at the seventeenth floor.


    In the past thousand years, Lin Tian was the third existence to rush to the 17th floor. In the past hundred years, Lin Tian was the first. Lin Tian had created the best record in the past hundred years.


    From a side point of view, Lin Tian''s potential was definitely number one in the past hundred years.


    Genius. Monster. These words weren''t even quite enough to describe Lin Tian.


    It was unique.


    At this moment, Elder Zhang''s face was also dumbstruck. He was even more agitated and inconceivable than Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie.


    He had kept his record for hundreds of years, but he was broken by this brat just now?


    This kid was the top student in the Azure Province for the past few hundred years.


    But after staring blankly for a moment, Elder Zhang couldn''t help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, the heavens are blessing my Azure Province. My Azure Province''s position in the Five Great Academies is finally going to rise a notch. This child will definitely soar to the nine heavens in the future ¡­"


    "Tian, Tian." While Lin Tian was sleeping, he suddenly heard a shout.


    Lin Tian immediately became vigilant. He directly opened his eyes and was about to make a move.


    But when he suddenly saw a girl sitting in front of him, Lin Tian Deng stopped.


    The young girl''s face was now covered in tears as she said, "Tian''er, you''re awake. Wonderful. I''ll go call your father."


    "Father?" Lin Tian Deng was stunned and couldn''t recover for a while.


    "Child, have you gone silly ¡­" The girl smiled sweetly, then she called out to someone outside: "Feng ge, come quickly, come quickly, Tian''er is awake!"


    After that person heard that Lin Tian had woken up, he immediately rushed over. Seeing that Lin Tian was fine, although that person''s face was filled with joy, he coldly snorted: "You haven''t learned anything, so don''t recklessly fight with others. You''re asking for trouble!"


    When Lin Tian saw that person''s appearance, he was even more shocked. That person''s face was actually somewhat similar to his own. It was just that the aura of that person was like a tiger suppressing a dragon, and his appearance was a bit sharper than Lin Tian''s.


    "Father?" Lin Tian''s throat dried up as he shouted out.


    Only then did the man''s face relax. He called out to the people outside the room, "Uncle Yu, bring the medicine over and give it to young master to drink ¡­"


    "Uncle Yu?" Lin Tian''s mind was in a mess, but from their words, he could tell that the man in front of him was his own father, Lin Feng. That woman was his mother, Lu Wushuang.


    Was he dreaming?


    Lin Tian''s heart was filled with disbelief.


    He was clearly passing through the Exquisite Pagoda, so why would he suddenly come here?


    Was this the Exquisite Pagoda smelting trial?


    Just as Lin Tian was calculating in his mind, from not too far away, another person walked in. That person was the already dead Uncle Yu, and in Uncle Yu''s hand was a bowl of medicinal soup. Obviously he was going to feed it to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s heart immediately had a ripple: "Uncle Yu."


    "Let me do it." Right at this moment, Lin Tian''s mother, Lu Wushuang, took the medicine bowl from Uncle Yu and walked over to Lin Tian''s side.


    Tian, in the future, don''t let Lin Qi and the others fight again. With your strength, you''re still not their match. Lu Wushuang looked at Lin Tian with a gentle and doting expression as he gave his advice.


    Lin Tian opened his mouth, but then suddenly felt that something was wrong ¡­


    Where was he?

 C96

    "Tian, what''s wrong with you? Open your mouth, ah. The medicinal soup should be cold soon. Be obedient, don''t be naughty." Lu Wushuang said to Lin Tian with a face full of gentleness.


    Lin Tian shook his head: "No."


    At this moment, Lin Tian discovered that his body had shrunk more than double from before.


    "This is?" Lin Tian looked at him in surprise. He felt as if he had returned to his childhood.


    "Forget it, it''s fine if Tian doesn''t want to drink it. It''s not a big injury anyway, I''ll be fine for a few more days of rest." Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t want to drink, Lin Feng spoke up. Although Lin Feng was a strict father, in his heart, he still doted on this son of his.


    But at this time, Lin Feng suddenly took out a pill, and handed it over to Lin Tian: "This is the Qi Condensation Pill that your father got from your grandfather, and the effects of this pill can almost stop you from training for half a year, didn''t you always want to break through to the 5th stage of Qi Cultivating Stage? Once you consume this Qi Condensation Pill, you will be able to reach the 5th stage of Qi Disciple very quickly."


    Lin Feng smiled and said to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian stared fixedly at Lin Feng, but did not accept the elixir in his hand. He did not say anything and only stared at Lin Feng.


    After he finished looking at Lin Feng, Lin Tian then looked at Lu Wushuang, then looked at Uncle Yu.


    The three of them felt a strange feeling in their hearts. What was going on with Tian''er today, why was she staring at them all the time ¡­


    "Tian, are you alright? Don''t scare your mother ¡­" Immediately, Lu Wushuang became anxious.


    Lin Feng looked towards Lin Tian with concern, afraid that something would happen to Lin Tian.


    Even Uncle Yu raised his head to look at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian grabbed Lu Wushuang''s hand and muttered to himself: "Although I know this is an illusion and I know that it is fake, but I finally saw what my mother and father look like. It''s enough."


    "And Uncle Yu ¡­" Lin Tian abruptly raised his head: "Uncle Yu, to be able to see you again, I''m already very satisfied."


    "Tian, don''t tell me you have truly become an idiot. Don''t scare mother ¡­" At this moment, Lu Wushuang was truly somewhat worried, because Lin Tian was constantly talking nonsense.


    "Tian ¡­" Lin Feng was about to say something when Lin Tian suddenly shouted: "Protect your heart and disperse."


    In that instant, Lu Wushuang, Lin Feng, and Uncle Yu all opened their eyes wide and looked at Lin Tian with faces full of disbelief.


    But the scene in front of Lin Tian''s eyes also came to an abrupt stop.


    Everything was gone.


    Only now could the current Lin Tian clearly see that the bowl of medicine in front of him was actually a bowl that emitted a disgusting stench and pus. As for the pill, it was a pitch-black poison pill.


    "I''m rather curious, how did you figure it out?" Right at this moment, the original Lin Feng, Lu Wushuang, and Yu Bo all turned into a cloud of black smoke and condensed into a black cloud.


    At this moment, an extremely sinister voice came from the black cloud.


    "In the end, I still have to thank you. It was you who let me know what my parents looked like, and it was you who allowed me to sense them. If my parents hadn''t abandoned me back then, I would have grown up happily ¡­" Lin Tian''s voice was light, not a single trace of emotion could be heard.


    However, your most fatal flaw is that you are too realistic. But you must know, my parents have already abandoned me, I am only an orphan, and have just experienced the blissful scene in the illusion just now. I have not personally experienced it, and if I had experienced it, I might have been struck by it, and become immersed in your illusion, but I have never experienced it, so how could I possibly be immersed in it?


    Lin Tian continued to speak with the same indifferent tone: "A bystander naturally cannot immerse himself in the illusions. You''ve lost ¡­ ¡­"


    "Defeated? That''s not necessarily true." That lump of black cloud laughed: "Your parents, perhaps this is your first time seeing them, but it can''t be that this is also your first time seeing them, right?"


    On the black cloud, an incomparably bizarre scene started to appear.


    Lin Tian could clearly see that the Fire Bird, whose entire body was covered in flames, was currently wailing and crying as it was imprisoned in a huge iron cage. The cage was burning with flames, but the iron cage was unbreakable.


    Not long after, the Fire Bird suddenly collapsed onto the ground, wailing in pain. Not long after, it suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, the power of fire on the Fire Bird instantly disappeared, and it turned into a woman.


    When he saw the woman, even though he knew it was an illusion, Lin Tian still cried out: "Yun Huang!"


    That woman was Yun Huang. Lin Tian immediately understood that the fire bird bathing in flames was Yun Huang''s true body.


    Yun Feng possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, so he should be the Vermillion Bird in other words, the Phoenix.


    But at this time, how could Yun Huang be locked in his cage?


    "This is an illusion, an illusion ¡­" Lin Tian kept on telling himself in his mind that this was an illusion and not real.


    But why did the scene seem so real?


    At this moment, another figure appeared on the screen.


    "Granny Jin!" Lin Tian was even more astonished. His gaze was firmly fixed on the scene, not daring to drop a single bit.


    Granny Jin had actually appeared as well. This scene couldn''t help but cause Lin Tian to pay attention to it, because the scene in front of him wasn''t an illusion, but rather the black cloud''s appearance.


    This scene, for some reason, actually made Lin Tian''s heart palpitate.


    "Miss, promise them, or they won''t let you go ¡­" Granny Jin sighed as tears uncontrollably flowed from the corners of her eyes ¡­


    "No, I won''t agree to their request ¡­" Yun Huang let out a mournful cry, her face showing an expression of despair, causing Lin Tian''s heart to ache.


    However, at this moment, the scene gradually became blurry. In the end, it completely disappeared, and the color of the cloud slowly turned black once again.


    "What, does it hurt to see this?" The black cloud asked Lin Tian.


    "This is an illusion, I don''t believe it!" Lin Tian roared towards the black cloud.


    "Illusion?" The black cloud laughed involuntarily, "This is not an illusion, the first act is indeed my dream. I am following the dream in your heart, but you have already seen through it. In the future, you will not fall for my illusions ¡­"


    "But what you saw just now was real. It might have already happened, it might have been happening, or it might have happened in the future. All in all, it might be real."


    "I haven''t seen anyone in years. My name is Nightmare, an existence that can create dreams. I am the 17th guardian of the Exquisite Pagoda. Congratulations, you have passed the 17th floor."


    Lin Tian understood in his heart. He had read about nightmares in some books. They were a strange creature, not a human nor a demon beast, but rather a lump of gas. What Lin Tian saw right now was the real body of the nightmare.


    Nightmare creatures could create illusions, and when anyone encountered a nightmare, the nightmare would invade their brain without them knowing. Nightmare beasts could know what they wanted the most, and then create illusions that would cause humans or demon beasts to lose their way in the illusion world. Only then would the nightmare be able to absorb the power of humans or demon beasts and continue to grow.


    This was what the Nightmare Terror meant when it said that it was helping others to dream. The illusions it created were like a dream for some people. Moreover, it was a dream that many people didn''t want to wake up from.


    Just now, the nightmare had invaded Lin Tian''s brain, causing Lin Tian to sink into an illusion, but that illusion was too fake. Lin Tian had never had a father or mother since he was young, and he was brought up by Uncle Yu. Once he entered the illusion world, Lin Tian already knew that he was inside the illusion world.


    But nightmares have another ability besides the ability to help others dream.


    Predicting the future, or seeing the past.


    Nightmare possessed this unique ability, which was why humans coveted them. Back then, many humans had looked for nightmares because of this ability. They wanted to rely on the power of the nightmare to predict the future and change fate.


    So many of the nightmares were killed by humans, but Lin Tian never would have thought that he would still be able to see nightmares here ¡­


    Of course, when the Nightmare Terror said that the second act might be something that would happen in the future, Lin Tian Deng was immediately excited.


    I''ll just treat the scene from the second act as a gift from you, a free prediction of your future. In the past hundred years, there hasn''t been a single person who could make my eyes light up, and no one has spoken to me. Nightmare smiled at Lin Tian.


    "Hey ¡­" Lin Tian wanted to ask something else, but the black cloud immediately dispersed and the entire space suddenly became empty.


    The nightmare had vanished.


    At this time, the space also began to rapidly collapse. In the next moment, Lin Tian felt his vision blur and he arrived in another space.


    The eighteenth floor!


    "The eighteenth floor, it really is the eighteenth floor!" Xiao Yunhai excitedly roared as he pointed to the white dot of light that represented Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had actually rushed to the eighteenth floor. This was the first time in the history of the Exquisite Pagoda that he had stepped onto the eighteenth floor.


    On the 18th level, a new record was born.


    Elder Zhang was already somewhat numb to it. This Lin Tian had given him too many surprises and too many impossible possibilities.


    The eighteenth floor!


    After a thousand years, the first student to rush to the 18th floor of the Azure Province had been for a thousand years. Only Lin Tian was able to do it.


    Elder Zhang took out another thousand paper crane and was about to pass on another message to the dean.


    "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" From the distance, a faintly discernible sound of a bell ringing could be heard.


    Elder Zhang suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, muttering to himself, "This, this is?"


    Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie had clearly heard the bell chime as well. At this moment, the ecstasy on their faces disappeared and was replaced with doubt. They looked into the distance with astonished faces, but did not know what had happened.

 C97

    When Lin Tian arrived at the 18th floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, the current Qingzhou Academy was in complete chaos.


    In the back mountain of the Azure Continent''s academy, a bell rang out. The sound of the bell ringing resounded throughout the entire Azure Continent.


    At this moment, all the students, instructors, and deacon elders of the Azure Province were alarmed by the ringing of the bell, and they all ran out to take a look.


    The back of the mountain was the restricted area of the Azure Province. Normally, no one would be able to go there, but at this moment, there were countless people rushing from the back, wanting to see what exactly was happening.


    At this moment, the back mountain of the Azure Province Academy was where the tombs of the top experts of the Azure Continent''s past generations were located.


    Of course, there was no lack of past headmasters.


    But at this moment, in front of the tomb of the first generation Headmaster of the Azure Province, the ancient bell that stood tall and upright rang out on its own, emitting the "dong, dong, dong" sound from before.


    As the bell tolled, the ancient trees beside the tomb began to sway violently, causing rustling sounds to ring out.


    Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape. They didn''t know why such a scene would suddenly appear.


    This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the big figures within the Azure Province Institute.


    All of the important figures were mobilized at this moment.


    They too looked at the situation in front of them in shock.


    When a supreme elder saw all of this, he couldn''t help but have tears running down his cheeks, "Natural phenomenon, awakening the ancestor! My Azure Province''s school should have great excitement!"


    The many students of the Azure Province Academy were all looking at the Supreme Elder with expressions of disbelief. Ancestor? A great show?


    However, at this time, a low voice suddenly came from the depths of the back mountain, "Disperse!"


    It was just a simple word, but it was spoken like an imperial edict. No one dared to disobey it, and everyone, including those big shots who had just left the mountain, left in embarrassment. They did not dare to stay any longer.


    That person''s voice could not be more familiar to the crowd. It was the current headmaster of the Azure Province, Gu Qingyuan.


    Currently, the principal of the Azure Province Academy was a strange person. This was a fact that all the students of the Azure Province Academy knew.


    This was because the dean had never shown his face in front of everyone, and had always been hiding in the tombs behind the mountains.


    It was as if he was guarding the grave of the previous Headmaster.


    This was the first time the dean had shown up.


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan sighed softly, "Yunhai, you''ve indeed taken in a good disciple. To be able to trigger such a strange phenomenon and even awakened the ancient bell, I believe you''ve come to the eighteenth floor to meet the ancestor."


    However, Gu Qingyuan only said these words before he completely quieted down.


    At the same time, in Tian Luo Empire''s Imperial City, Tian Luo City, the Royal Academy.


    Luo Tiannan was still in closed-door training, but he was awoken by the sound of this bell. Luo Tiannan smiled and then said with a low voice: "Good, even the ancient bell was rung, I believe the Qing Province Academy has accepted a great disciple. I will also let the little bastards of my clan train well, but I don''t know what kind of monster they are, to be able to ring the ancient bell ¡­"


    Tian Luo Kingdom, Lei Zhou, Sword Inquisition.


    The Sword Inquisition, as its name implied, was naturally an academy that specialized in the way of the sword. At this moment, a large man with a nose full of alcohol suddenly woke up, seeming to have heard something.


    In the next moment, he rubbed his sleepy eyes again, grabbed the wine gourd beside him and gulped a few mouthfuls. Only then did he regain his senses, and shouted to the students outside, "All of you f * cking give me some energy.


    However, that big guy turned a deaf ear to him and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, the Azure Province has also received a genius disciple, it''s really unbelievable. Fuck, without the Azure Province school''s bottom, wouldn''t the Sword School be at the bottom? No way, this can''t happen."


    "However, since it''s all for the sake of my Tian Luo Kingdom''s recruitment of talents, there should be no reason for us to not have such talents." The man laughed again in a low voice. Then, he picked up the wine gourd and gulped down a lot of wine.


    Tian Luo Country, Yue Prefecture, Misty Academy.


    The disciples of the Misty Academy were all female, not a single male.


    Amongst the Five Great Academies, he could be considered to be one of a kind.


    At this moment, the Misty Academy, Emerald Bamboo Peak, was the residence of the academy''s dean, Su Qiu Shui.


    Su Qiu Shui also seemed to have sensed something at this moment, and after listening carefully for a moment, she suddenly understood and thought to herself, "The ancient bell has sounded, it seems like the Azure Province Academy has recruited a top genius disciple, interesting, interesting. This year''s great competition of the five great academies, I hope the Azure Province Academy will have a comeback."


    "Pass down the order. From tomorrow onwards, no, from today onwards, all students are to increase their training." Su Qiu Shui''s voice held an irresistible tone.


    Tian Luo Kingdom, the military base. The army was stationed in the bitter cold lands, in the north of Tian Luo Kingdom, far away from the bustling area.


    The tiger and wolf camps were here.


    At this moment, the Battalion Commander of the Tiger Wolf Camp was reprimanding the students under him. Suddenly, a knocking sound could be heard from the horizon.


    That Battalion Commander was a man with a face full of scars. At this moment, his upper body was bare, and he was showing off his strong muscles.


    After a long time, he said, "Qingzhou Academy has been quiet for so many years, but today, we finally heard the ancient bell again. It''s quite unbelievable, but this is only fun, otherwise, what''s the point of my Tiger Wolf Camp only fighting for first place with the Royal Academy every year?"


    With that, he turned around and shouted to a team of elite students that had been selected from all over the world, "What are you all showing me, give me more training!"


    At this time, Lin Tian, who was inside the Exquisite Pagoda, absolutely did not expect that because he had rushed to the 18th floor, there would be so many disputes.


    Especially those students who were asked to increase their training because of Lin Tian''s sudden appearance. The name Lin Tian later became a nightmare for them.


    At this time, Lin Tian''s mind was still immersed in the last picture of the nightmare.


    He was now very worried about the things that the Nightmare Terror had told him before, about why did Yun Huang appear in that situation. After Yun Huang left Lin Tian, what happened to Yun Huang?


    Whether that scene was happening or whether it would happen in the future, Lin Tian didn''t have a clue. Of course, this was also the thing that made him most frustrated.


    The eighteenth floor was empty and devoid of anything.


    However, when Lin Tian looked through the window on the tower, he could almost look down on the entire Cyan Plains.


    "Brat, you are the first person to reach the top of the Linglong Pagoda. It''s been a thousand years." Right at this time, a sigh came from beside Lin Tian''s ear.


    "Who?" Lin Tian was vigilant. He then turned around and looked. His hand was already gathering surging Essence. He was going to attack in the next moment.


    But when he saw the person who spoke, Lin Tian was incomparably shocked.


    It was actually a spiritual body?


    Currently, in front of Lin Tian was a faint soul form. That soul form was standing in the air above Lin Tian. Currently, it had a warm smile on its face as it smiled at Lin Tian.


    "Who are you?" Even so, Lin Tian did not let down his guard.


    "I, it''s been many years, and it''s the first time I heard someone ask my name. Kid, I''m called Xiao Kuangge, have you heard of me?" The spirit body smiled faintly.


    "Xiao Kuangge?" Lin Tian immediately thought about it. To him, this name was extremely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.


    A moment later, Lin Tian''s face was filled with excitement as he looked at the spirit body. He remembered, Xiao Kuangge, wasn''t that the name of the first principal of the Azure Province Academy? Could it be that the spirit body in front of him was actually the first principal of the Azure Province Academy, Xiao Kuangge?


    "That''s right, I am indeed the first headmaster of the Azure Province Academy. This item, the Exquisite Pagoda, is also one of my treasures. My other treasure is the Eternal Bell." Xiao Kuangge faintly said.


    "So, the eighteenth level is to challenge you?" Lin Tian slightly froze for a moment and then couldn''t help but ask.


    "Challenge?" Xiao Kuangge laughed involuntarily: "Brat, you''re quite interesting. You actually want to challenge me?"


    "What? You don''t want to challenge me?" He had fought all the way until now and suddenly didn''t need him to fight anymore, which really made him feel a bit uncomfortable.


    The first nine levels of the Exquisite Pagoda are a test of one''s temperament. In the end, the path of martial arts, one''s mentality can be said to be incomparably important. If one''s heart of martial arts is not firm and shaky, it will be difficult to achieve great things. Xiao Kuangge slowly spoke, seeming to recall what happened before.


    The latter nine levels, from the tenth to the sixteenth, are occupied by demon beasts, and what they test is one''s combat strength. Presumably, you also felt it just now, only through continuous combat can one find the flaws in one''s martial arts. Only then would one be able to advance bravely and achieve great things. Xiao Kuangge spoke again.


    So, the most difficult part is the fifteenth and sixteenth floor. For so many years, I have been paying attention to the disciples of the Exquisite Pagoda, and many of them have fallen on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, but, you must know, they are only missing the last sliver of energy before they are able to break through the clouds. But at the last moment, they chose to give up.


    Xiao Kuangge seemed to be thinking back to the past and couldn''t help but sigh.


    "The 17th level is the nightmare illusions realm. This is a test of endurance. In other words, temptation. The path of martial arts is too enticing. If you can''t control it, then you will die without a burial ground."


    "After going through these three trials, one can be considered a true genius when reaching the eighteenth floor. You are all extraordinary in terms of temperament, mental fortitude, and strength. In the future, how can you be someone to be trifled with? " As Xiao Kuangge spoke to here, he began to admire Lin Tian more and more.


    To be able to go through layers of difficulties and reach the eighteenth floor, it was already proof of Lin Tian''s potential. Moreover, this child''s temperament and willpower was first-class, and in the past thousand years, this was the first time he had seen such a talent. With enough time, Lin Tian could definitely quickly ascend.

 C98

    "Senior, you flatter me." When Lin Tian heard Xiao Kuangge praise him in such a way, he felt slightly embarrassed and couldn''t help but clasp his hands together and say.


    "It can''t be considered as false praise, so you don''t have to be modest. It wouldn''t be excessive to say that you are the number one genius recruited by my Azure Province in the past thousand years." Xiao Kuangge then asked again: "Kid, what''s your name?"


    "Senior, my name is Lin Tian." Lin Tian replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.


    "My surname is Lin, what does it have to do with Marshal Lin Wudi?" When Xiao Kuangge heard Lin Tian say his name, he couldn''t help but ask.


    "Reporting to Senior, Lin Wu is the ancestor!" Lin Tian didn''t hide his true identity. In any case, Xiao Kuangge was a spirit body so he naturally wouldn''t be worried about him divulging this information.


    Actually, when Lin Tian heard that the person in front of him was Xiao Kuangge, Lin Tian had already faintly guessed whether this Xiao Kuangge had some sort of relationship with Lin Wudi. After all, the two of them were figures from a thousand years ago.


    It was recorded in the ancient books that the Tian Luo Kingdom was a thousand years ago, that the Great Marshal Lin Wudi was the pillar that established the Tian Luo Kingdom, and that the Qing Zhou Academy was founded by Xiao Kuangge after the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    If one were to calculate it this way, Lin Wudi and Xiao Kuangge should be people of the same period of time. If one were to know each other, it would be a very normal thing.


    Sure enough, the moment he said his name, that Xiao Kuangge immediately thought of Lin Wudi.


    "So he is the grandson of Lin Mang, no wonder." However, he did not waste any more words as he directly faced Lin Tian: "I am only a remnant soul, and will not be able to last for long now. Since you were able to reach the eighteenth level, it is enough to prove your potential, since you have come here and you are an old friend, I do not have anything to give you, giving you a martial art can be considered as my greeting gift, and also your reward for reaching the eighteenth level. When you arrive at the Qingzhou Academy in the future, you might want to pay respects to my tomb." As Xiao Kuangge spoke indifferently, that spirit body began to tremble.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that this was the situation where Xiao Kuangge''s soul force was about to collapse.


    But at this time, Xiao Kuangge''s finger lightly tapped, directly hitting Lin Tian''s forehead. Lin Tian immediately felt a wave of mixed memories flood into his mind. Without even thinking, he knew that it was the martial art that Xiao Kuangge had just mentioned.


    After finishing all of this, Xiao Kuangge''s spirit began to gradually disperse: "Lin Tian brat, this old man would really have to thank you for listening to my nagging. After all these years, no one has come up to talk with me.


    "Thank you very much, senior." Lin Tian respectfully bowed and said to Xiao Kuangge.


    Xiao Kuangge laughed out loud. The sound lingered for a long time.


    Lin Tian began to recall the words that Xiao Kuangge had just said.


    In the end, Lin Tian thought of Xiao Kuangge''s last sentence, "When you come to the Azure Province Academy in the future, why not come and pay your respects to my grave!"


    Xiao Kuangge seemed to have a deeper meaning to these words, but as for what they were, Lin Tian didn''t know.


    However, in the future, when he went to the Azure Province Academy, it was only right for him to pay respects. After all, he had also obtained the benefits of Xiao Kuangge, and Xiao Kuangge was also acquainted with his ancestor, Lin Mang.


    But at this time, Lin Tian was also stunned by the memory in his head.


    It was actually a martial arts manual!


    And it was an offensive martial art.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian excitedly read out the name of the martial art.


    It was called the Sky Collapsing Palm.


    The beginning of the Heaven Collapsing Palm was filled with a domineering sentence, "Heaven Collapsing Palm is derived from the will of the heavens. Heaven Collapsing Palm is a powerful and majestic martial art, and its power is incoherent and tyrannical. No matter how high your cultivation is, you will die under my Heaven Collapsing Palm!"


    He was not lacking in anything, just lacking in good martial arts. This kind of martial arts must not be ordinary, after all, this was an existence that Xiao Kuangge trained in. Lin Tian estimated that this kind of martial arts should not be below the sixth grade!


    The Great Destiny Fist that he practiced was only a martial art that was around the fifth-grade.


    And this Sky Falling Palm, Lin Tian only saw the power of that martial art, but it was not any weaker than the Great Destruction Fist.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly sat down cross-legged. He began to comprehend the Heaven Collapsing Palm technique.


    Lin Tian stopped on the eighteenth floor.


    But at this moment, Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie were already completely stunned.


    The eighteenth floor ¡­ What sort of concept was that? Just now, when the bell rang out, they had all realized what had happened.


    That gong was the sound of the ancient bell, another supreme treasure of the Azure Province, from the mountains behind the academy.


    The Eternal Bell was the same as the Exquisite Pagoda. It was an extremely powerful treasure that was also passed down in the Azure Province Academy for a thousand years.


    However, they never would have thought that when Lin Tian charged to the eighteenth floor, he would actually wake up the Eternal Bell and cause it to ring.


    If the ancient bell rang, it would definitely attract the attention of other experts. To Lin Tian, this was not a good thing.


    At this moment, these things were what Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie were even more worried about.


    As for Elder Zhang, he was completely numb to it now. He did not expect that the brat from before had such potential and talent ¡­


    But why didn''t he see it?


    To be honest, even now, Elder Zhang vaguely felt that there was a problem with the Exquisite Pagoda, and even the Eternal Bell had made a mistake.


    Lin Tian was actually so monstrous? However, when Elder Zhang saw Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie''s stupefied expressions, he immediately understood that even his master and uncle master would not have expected Lin Tian to have such potential ¡­


    It was normal for an outsider like him to not have thought of it ¡­


    At this moment, Xiao Lin''s face was ashen. He naturally knew what had just happened and he also knew what it meant for Lin Tian to reach the 18th step.


    This meant that Lin Tian was a peak genius that was rarely seen in a thousand years, and he even had the chance to become a member of the Azure Province Academy. As a result, there was no way that the Azure Province Academy could give up on him, and it also meant that his mission this time would definitely end in failure.


    The people from the Azure Province would definitely not let anything happen to Lin Tian, especially the Elder Zhang in front of him, he would definitely protect him with his life. With his strength, against that Elder Zhang, it was simply impossible for him to win.


    However, Lin Tian could not stay. If he killed Luo Lie, the Second Prince''s main support would be the support of the Prince in this small place. Now that Luo Lie was dead, if the Second Prince did not step in, who could support the Second Prince in the future?


    No one supported the Second Prince. The Second Prince was afraid that he would not be able to obtain the throne ¡­


    If he didn''t kill Lin Tian, he would be too ashamed to go back to see the Second Prince ¡­


    At that moment, Xiao Lin felt that he was in a dilemma. No matter what he chose, he felt that something was amiss.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" At this time, within the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tian was completely immersed in cultivating the Heaven Collapsing Palm.


    The power of the Heaven Collapsing Palm was truly terrifying. It was a full level higher than the Great Fortune Fist, but it also consumed a great deal of Essence.


    He suddenly waved his palm, and a vast and mighty force wrapped around the heaven overflowing Essence Qi, instantly bombarding the Exquisite Pagoda.


    "Boom boom!" The next moment, an intense vibration was heard. The Heaven Collapsing Palm power exploded on the tower.


    The Exquisite Pagoda also trembled slightly under this palm attack. However, it quickly recovered.


    Lin Tian was somewhat surprised by the Exquisite Pagoda''s power. This Heaven Collapsing Palm was so powerful, yet it was only able to slightly shake the Exquisite Pagoda. It was quite strange.


    However, he had already mastered the first level of the Heaven Collapsing Palm. He would only be practicing his Heaven Collapsing Palm power in actual combat. That was enough, he didn''t need to stay here any longer.


    With this thought, the Exquisite Pagoda directly sent Lin Tian out of the pagoda as if it had sensed something.


    Lin Tian''s figure immediately left the tower and steadily landed on the ground.


    "Right, I forgot to ask about the nightmare ¡­" After exiting the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tian thought that he should have asked Xiao Kuangge about the nightmare.


    The scene from the nightmare had always made Lin Tian feel uneasy. Yun Huang was the only person he was concerned about and also his wife. Naturally, Lin Tian wouldn''t just let him go.


    However, there was no use in thinking about it now. His strength was insufficient, so he decided to wait until he was stronger to find Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang had previously said that when Lin Tian reached the Emperor''s Realm, he could go and find her, but right now, Lin Tian was still far from reaching the Emperor''s Realm ¡­


    Lin Tian shook his head and stopped thinking about these random things. There was one more thing he needed to deal with, and that was Xiao Lin!


    Xiao Yunhai, Ling Tianlie, and Elder Zhang were all not far away. Of course, Xiao Lin was also there.


    He was already aware of his potential when he charged to the eighteenth floor. No matter what, the Azure Province Academy would always protect him, so as long as he didn''t give Xiao Lin a chance to make his move, Lin Tian would definitely be fine. As long as he was prepared for Xiao Lin to suddenly make a move on him, it would be fine.


    He had the God Transforming Steps, so he could use it at any time. If he couldn''t beat it, wouldn''t he be able to run?


    Upon seeing Lin Tian come out, Xiao Yunhai, Ling Tianlie, and Old Zhang all had excited looks on their faces. However, the three of them didn''t relax their vigilance of Xiao Lin, especially Elder Zhang. He didn''t want anything to happen that would make them regret.


    The Exquisite Pagoda rapidly shrunk and turned back into a small pagoda. Finally, it landed in Elder Zhang''s hands.

 C99

    "Tian, are you alright?" Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie both asked with some concern, as if they were afraid that something would happen to Lin Tian.


    "Of course I''m fine." He had not only entered the Exquisite Pagoda this time because he was fine, but also because his strength had greatly increased.


    In the first nine floors, those fake Lin Tian ultimately turned into incomparably pure spirit energy and landed in Lin Tian''s body. As for the demon beast corpses in the last few floors, Lin Tian was also not polite and directly accepted them without hesitation.


    As for the second floor, Lin Tian had also obtained the incomparably powerful Heaven Collapsing Palm. For this Exquisite Pagoda Trial, Lin Tian could be said to have obtained a great harvest.


    His current strength was at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. He was only a sliver away from the seventh level. He would only need to focus on training for a little longer to be able to reach the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Moreover, his'' God Transforming Steps'' had been perfectly trained in the Exquisite Pagoda. Now that he had used the ''God Transforming Steps'', it could be considered his trump card to defeat his opponent.


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with joy as he briefly described his gains and insights from the Exquisite Pagoda.


    He hesitated for a moment, but didn''t mention anything about Xiao Kuangge.


    It was not that he was deliberately trying to hide it, but it was just that it was inconvenient for him to say so much now. Xiao Lin was still glaring at him from the side, staring fixedly at Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" After that, he smiled and said: "Tian''er, you can be at ease. You have passed the eighteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial, but in the entire Azure Province, you are the number one genius of the past thousand years. No matter what, the Azure Province Academy will not let you go.


    Ling Tian Lie also nodded his head and could not help but heavily pat Lin Tian''s shoulder: "I never thought that you would actually have such terrifying potential. You are indeed worthy to be my martial nephew ¡­"


    Lin Tian slightly grinned, but did not say anything in the end.


    On the other hand, the nearby Xiao Lin walked over with an unfriendly expression.


    What are you planning to do? Could it be that the aides under the command of the Second Prince are going to become enemies with my Azure Province Academy? You must know that my Azure Province is using the orders of the current king to select talents for Tian Luo. Elder Zhang immediately blocked in front of Lin Tian, the Exquisite Pagoda constantly in his hand. If Xiao Lin had forced him too hard, Elder Zhang would not hesitate to use the Exquisite Pagoda to suppress Xiao Lin.


    Xiao Lin snorted coldly, "I didn''t say I wanted to kill him, why are you so nervous?"


    "With such a genius appearing in the Azure Province, naturally, the matters before will have to be written off. I will go back to the Second Prince." Xiao Lin looked at Lin Tian and said with a malicious expression.


    "Is that true?" Xiao Lin''s strength was after all, at the eighth level of the Xinghe realm. If he risked his life to kill Lin Tian, it would truly be somewhat difficult to deal with him. Moreover, no one knew if Xiao Lin had brought any treasures with him.


    "Of course, what I said never goes against the rules." Xiao Lin nodded and replied with certainty.


    Xiao Yunhai and the others immediately let out a sigh of relief. Naturally, it was for the best if Xiao Lin could stop being in a difficult position.


    However, Xiao Lin opened his mouth and laughed, "But this kid killed the prince. He was already guilty. This matter cannot be let go like this. Death can be exempted and it''s hard to escape punishment."


    "What do you want?" Lin Tian''s eyes became cold as he stared at Xiao Lin.


    If you can receive three palm strikes from me, then forget it, even if you kill the king, I will not care about this matter. Also, the Second Prince originally wanted me to take your head, but since you have such talent, it can be considered a blessing to my Azure Province. If you can receive three palm strikes from me, then I will go back and explain this matter to the Second Prince and never cause you trouble again. The corner of Xiao Lin''s mouth curled up into a ruthless smile.


    "Boy, three strikes. Even if you don''t die, you will be crippled by me. Naturally, the Azure Province Academy will protect a talented disciple, but if it were a cripple, would the Azure Province school still spend that much capital?" At that time, I can even directly kill it. Of course, I have also completed the quest ¡­ " Xiao Lin thought in his heart.


    How could the crowd not know what Xiao Lin was thinking? Xiao Yunhai immediately opened his mouth, wanting to reject him: "This matter is impossible ¡­"


    "I promise you!" Lin Tian raised his head and met Xiao Lin''s gaze.


    The ruthlessness in Lin Tian''s eyes actually made Xiao Lin feel a trace of terror.


    However, the smile on the corner of Xiao Lin''s mouth immediately became denser.


    "Tian, this cannot be ¡­" Xiao Yunhai immediately turned around to face Lin Tian with a face full of shock.


    Xiao Lin''s wolfish ambition was obvious. How could they not know what his intentions were?


    "Tian, don''t be rash!" Ling Tianlie also spoke up to stop her.


    "Lin Tian, you have to think carefully. If you stand behind me, Xiao Lin won''t be able to do anything to you!" Elder Zhang also spoke up.


    Lin Tian firmly shook his head. He remembered what Horned Demon had said to him before: "Can he really live under the wing of another? Last time was an assassination, but this time it was Xiao Lin. Now every time, there would always be someone standing in front of him. But what if no one stands up in the future?"


    He wanted to stand out and protect himself. Even if his strength wasn''t that strong, he would still do his best. His own fists could only protect himself before he could protect the others around him.


    Thus, it was impossible for Lin Tian to stand behind others.


    "Master, Grand Elder, Elder, this time, I want to use my fist to prove that I can protect myself." Lin Tian faintly smiled and then directly walked in front of everyone.


    "I hope that you can comply with your words. Otherwise, this place will be the place where your life is lost today." Lin Tian coldly looked at Xiao Lin and then slightly indicated towards Elder Zhang. Elder Zhang immediately understood Lin Tian''s meaning. Lin Tian''s meaning was for him to stand at the side and watch. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately act.


    Elder Zhang nodded slightly.


    He was very confident in his strength. Originally, he wanted to let Lin Tian only take one palm from him, but after thinking about it, he couldn''t be too careless, so he simply said three palm strikes. Honestly speaking, Xiao Lin did not think that Lin Tian would truly be able to receive three palm strikes from him. In other words, Xiao Lin did not believe that Lin Tian would be able to take three palm strikes from him.


    His strength was at the eighth level of the Astral Realm. Lin Tian and Lin Tian were only at the Qi Hai realm. With his strength, with three palm strikes, Lin Tian would undoubtedly die!


    "So, can we start now?" After which, he spoke to Lin Tian.


    "Of course!" Lin Tian showed off his edge, not giving in at all.


    "Then you better watch carefully!" Xiao Lin immediately stopped hesitating and attacked with his killing move.


    His body surged with black spirit energy and lines of power instantly condensed into a huge palm. His strength was boundless and extremely terrifying. In the next moment, the large palm ruthlessly smashed towards Lin Tian, as if it wanted to crush Lin Tian with a palm!


    Lin Tian''s body was currently abnormally sensitive. He could feel the terrifying strength behind Xiao Lin''s palm from his aura.


    However, he stood still and did not plan to fight back.


    "Hahahaha." Xiao Lin was ecstatic in his heart. He thought that Lin Tian was scared silly by this one palm from him and actually stood on the spot without moving.


    This palm was the full force of his attack. Under this palm, even if Lin Tian didn''t die, he would still be heavily injured and crippled.


    Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie looked at Lin Tian who stood foolishly in his original position, immediately becoming extremely anxious. Could it be that Lin Tian had truly been scared silly, to actually be standing in his original position without moving?


    In the time it took for a spark to fly, that palm was going to land. Just as Elder Zhang was prepared to attack, Lin Tian''s body moved.


    Lin Tian''s body slightly leaned to the side and unexpectedly dodged the attack range of that palm from an incredible angle.


    The strength from the palm just now had indeed stimulated all of Lin Tian''s potential.


    Even the God Transforming Steps that Lin Tian displayed earlier was of great standard. He displayed the God Transforming Steps to the extreme and instantly dodged Xiao Lin''s palm. At the same time, Lin Tian arrived in front of Xiao Lin in the blink of an eye.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" The first attack was the strongest attack. Lin Tian did not hold back at all. With this kind of expert, even if he used all his strength, he might not necessarily be able to injure him. If he did not use his full strength, then it would be even more impossible.


    The might of the Heaven Collapsing Palm was astonishing. The overwhelming force behind the palm strike was unparalleled as it struck into Xiao Lin''s body.


    At the same time, the Immortal Soul Thorns that had been formed in Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace exploded without holding back at all. Numerous transparent spikes shot towards Xiao Lin.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s figure moved again. He completely displayed the God Transforming Steps to the extreme. He lightly leaped up and retreated.


    This series of attacks were executed in one go and he retreated without giving Xiao Lin a chance to retaliate.


    He absolutely did not think that Lin Tian would actually be able to dodge his palm. How was it that even though that palm was in front of him, he was able to dodge it? This was not the most crucial point, the most crucial point was that Lin Tian actually dared to retaliate against him ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian''s series of methods caused Xiao Lin to feel dazzled for a moment, but when he finally reacted to it, the palm strength of the Heaven Collapsing Palm had already exploded in front of him. At the same time, a sou sou sou sound rang out in his ears, causing Xiao Lin to feel that something was wrong.


    He coldly snorted and shattered Lin Tian''s Heaven Collapsing Palm with one palm. Just as he was about to take action and block the force that emitted the sound of breaking through the air, the force had already completely arrived in front of him. Xiao Lin immediately felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness.


    Ah!" He shrieked mournfully and his hands tightly held onto his head. In the next moment, Xiao Lin raised his head and with a face full of malice, he stared at Lin Tian and roared: "You, you''re actually a Symbol Master!

 C100

    Xiao Yunhai, Ling Tianlie, and the elders were all looking at Lin Tian with faces full of disbelief.


    Lin Tian was actually a Symbol Master. Not only that, everyone had just seen that the reason Lin Tian was able to dodge Xiao Lin''s killing blow was entirely because of Lin Tian''s footwork martial art.


    The martial art that Lin Tian had just displayed was a footwork martial art that allowed him to dodge Xiao Lin''s attack at the limit of his time.


    The footwork martial art Lin Tian learned must be some kind of extremely powerful footwork martial art.


    That dazzling technique that Lin Tian had just used was not only something that Xiao Lin did not think of, it was also something that the three of them did not think of.


    "When did Tian become so strong?" During the time that Lin Tian wasn''t here, he had only gone to the Heavenly Thunder City. How could he have made a trip to the Heavenly Thunder City and become so much stronger?


    When he saw Lin Tian in the Heavenly Thunder City, he was not that strong. But now, he was actually strong enough to fight with a Star River Realm expert?


    Elder Zhang had a face full of gratification. At the same time, Lin Tian''s current performance dispelled his earlier doubts: "No wonder Lin Tian was able to pass the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial. It turns out Lin Tian''s strength is so tyrannical."


    The ruthlessness on Xiao Lin''s face became increasingly intense. He was naturally extremely shocked in his heart. This brat was actually a Symbol Master.


    Furthermore, with the help of footwork martial arts, it was no wonder that he was able to dodge that attack.


    However, the more it was like this, the more anxious Xiao Lin''s thoughts became to get rid of Lin Tian. With such great potential and also a Symbol Master, if he allowed this kid to grow up, it would still be fine. This time, he had already completely offended this brat.


    Xiao Lin knew that it was necessary to get rid of the roots when cutting grass.


    "Soul Slaying Hand!" Xiao Lin made up his mind and naturally did not hold back. Just now he underestimated this kid, thinking that he could kill Lin Tian easily, but this time he completely treated Lin Tian as an expert of the same realm and would not hold back when he attacked.


    This was his famous ultimate skill, and also his ultimate move.


    Although his soul had injured his sea of consciousness, he was still an existence at the Milky Way Realm. The toughness of his sea of consciousness was naturally not something that Lin Tian could compare to.


    As a result, this gathering of power was even stronger than the last. It didn''t affect him much.


    A monstrous strength instantly gathered and Xiao Lin''s five fingers formed a claw, blocking all of Lin Tian''s escape routes. He did not give Lin Tian the chance to escape.


    Violent astral winds accompanied by powerful strength practically instantly arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Although Lin Tian was shocked and not panicked, he had already cultivated the God Transforming Steps to the extreme. The thing he was most skilled at was to come back from the dead. It seemed like this attack was something Lin Tian could not dodge.


    Lin Tian''s Divine Transformation Steps flashed consecutively, his claw following him like a shadow. When Lin Tian had gathered his strength, he threw out a Sky Collapsing Palm, which fiercely smashed into that claw.


    A thunderous sound rang out as the power of the Heaven Collapsing Palm exploded outwards, causing the power of the claw to tremble slightly.


    But the power of the claw only stopped for a moment, and then instantly shot towards Lin Tian once again.


    The difference in strength was too obvious. After all, Xiao Lin had the strength of the eighth level of the Xinghe realm, and today, he was only at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. The reason why Lin Tian was able to dodge that attack earlier and was even able to fight back was due to Xiao Lin underestimating him, but now that Xiao Lin had become serious, how could Lin Tian be a match for Xiao Lin?


    Lin Tian''s gaze was sharp, but he did not dare to be careless. If the strength of this claw were to land on his body, even if his physical body was strong, he would still be seriously injured by Xiao Lin.


    Once Lin Tian thought of this, he used the God Transforming Steps without hesitation. His figure quickly flashed and Xiao Lin could only see Lin Tian''s afterimage. Every time the power of his claw wanted to catch up to Lin Tian, Lin Tian would also use the God Transforming Steps to escape.


    Not only that, but Lin Tian was running all the way while using the Sky Collapsing Palm to dissolve Xiao Lin''s claw power. In the end, more than half of the claw power was consumed by Lin Tian. Only then did Lin Tian slow down his movements.


    In the end, the whirlpool in Lin Tian''s dantian madly revolved as his left hand began gathering Essence, forming the Great Fortune Fist, gathering Essence in his right hand, and forming the Heaven Collapsing Palm.


    In the end, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and used the God Transforming Steps to charge in front of Xiao Lin.


    By the time he had reacted to it, Lin Tian had already arrived in front of him. Lin Tian gathered his strength and punched out towards Xiao Lin, the Collapsing Heavens Palm in his right hand striking towards the Soul-Slaughtering Hand that was right behind him.


    The power of the Spirit Slaying Hand shattered Lin Tian''s Heaven Collapsing Palm and then landed on Lin Tian''s body. Even though Lin Tian''s body was strong, the power of the Spirit Slaying Hand was mostly used up, but the Spirit Slaying Hand that used up most of its power still landed on Lin Tian''s body, causing him to be slightly injured.


    However, the power of Lin Tian''s Great Destruction Fist had already landed on Xiao Lin''s body. Xiao Lin subconsciously circulated the Yuan Power in his body to protect himself. If the Great Creation Fist was used against a cultivator of the same level, it would naturally be powerful, but against Xiao Lin, who was at the eighth level of the Xinghe realm, the power of the punch would not affect Xiao Lin at all.


    However, Lin Tian had arrived in front of Xiao Lin. Without thinking, Xiao Lin sent out another palm strike.


    When the power of the palm was released, Lin Tian had already used the God Transforming Steps, but he was still a bit slow. In the end, a small portion of the power of the palm struck Lin Tian''s body, and Lin Tian''s body was immediately sent flying. He felt that his internal organs had become deformed from the shock, and the bones in his body made "ka ka" sounds.


    But Lin Tian did not have any fear and only laughed loudly. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but in the end, he was still able to hold on. The whirlpool in his dantian rotated and began to quickly recover Lin Tian''s injuries.


    "Kid, you must be exhausted of your tricks. Let me see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve!" Only now did Xiao Lin react, but he was overjoyed. With another palm, this brat was dead for sure!


    However, without waiting for him to take action, Lin Tian struggled to stand up. He smiled at Xiao Lin and said: "The three palms have already passed, you have lost!"


    After saying this, Lin Tian spat out another mouthful of blood and immediately felt his body become a lot more comfortable.


    "You''re lying, I only said two ¡­" The first time he struck out, Lin Tian dodged it. The second time he used the Soul-Slaughtering Hand, the third time was when he subconsciously struck out with his palm ¡­


    In total, there were no more, just three palm strikes. And the one he had spoken to Lin Tian about just now was just three palm strikes!


    "You tricked me!" Xiao Lin stared angrily at him, staring straight at Lin Tian: "That palm did not count!"


    "Not counted?" Lin Tian coldly laughed: "You said before that I could receive three of your palms, so you agreed to do anything for me. But now that I have received three, do you want to not admit it?"


    Xiao Lin immediately roared, "I won''t accept the fact that you''ve cheated!"


    As he spoke, Xiao Lin had already rushed towards Lin Tian. He had already made up his mind that he would absolutely not let Lin Tian live. Now, he had found a good excuse for him.


    His speed was surprisingly fast, and the three of them didn''t even have time to react.


    But Lin Tian had already prepared himself. He had just condensed countless primordial spirit thorns inside the Divine Manor, and now, they erupted from the Divine Manor towards Xiao Lin.


    At the same time, he shouted in a low voice, "Explode for me!"


    Xiao Lin''s body immediately stopped not far from Lin Tian. From start to finish, he did not rush to Lin Tian''s front, nor did he have the time to attack Lin Tian.


    At this moment, waves of hidden strength surged crazily, and immediately after, it completely exploded. Xiao Lin let out a muffled grunt, and his figure immediately came to a standstill. At the same time, the Origin Spirit Thrust that Lin Tian had used just now had just arrived in front of Xiao Lin.


    Ah!" Xiao Lin let out a shrill cry once more. The two times he had stabbed at the Origin Spirit Spikes had caused him to be unable to hold on.


    Xiao Lin''s body immediately stopped where he was as he painfully protected his head. At this time, Lin Tian shouted at Elder Zhang: "Elder Zhang, if he wants to kill me, do you still care?"


    Elder Zhang immediately reacted, and the Exquisite Pagoda instantly flew out of his hand. The Exquisite Pagoda instantly transformed into a huge pagoda, directly suppressing the pagoda.


    Xiao Yunhai and Ling Tianlie immediately rushed over and pulled Lin Tian back: "Tian''er, are you alright ¡­"


    Elder Zhang looked at Lin Tian with concern.


    By the time they had reacted to it, Xiao Lin had already charged towards Lin Tian. He was just an instant away from killing Lin Tian by the hands of Xiao Lin, but in the end, Xiao Lin had stopped. This greatly surprised Elder Zhang and the rest, but at this moment, they had already made their move.


    "I''m fine." Lin Tian faintly shook his head. He seemed to be gravely injured just now, but it was actually just like that. It wasn''t that serious, especially with the powerful recovery abilities of the whirlpool''s dantian.


    He had already recovered about seventy to eighty percent of his injuries. From this, it could be seen how strong his physical body''s recovery rate was ¡­


    At the foot of the Exquisite Pagoda, Xiao Lin was constantly attacking the pagoda, causing it to tremble.


    Elder Zhang knew how powerful the Exquisite Pagoda was, but he did not care about Xiao Lin. Instead, he looked at Lin Tian with a face full of shock.


    He did not know what kind of method Lin Tian used just now to actually make Xiao Lin stop. Moreover, Lin Tian had only used it for a short moment. Now, he was full of energy again.


    Lin Tian faintly smiled. He had calculated that Xiao Lin would definitely not let him off, so he had made preparations in advance. Otherwise, why would he use the Great Fortune Fist? What he wanted was a miraculous effect!


    Sure enough, the Great Destiny Fist had produced a miraculous effect. With the Origin Spirit Stab closely following him, Xiao Lin was naturally unable to guard against it. At the same time, Elder Zhang also made his move.


    Lin Tian had already planned everything and could only attack Xiao Lin.


    If Xiao Lin had done what he said, Lin Tian would naturally not have released the power of the Great Creation Fist and the scene in front of him would not have happened. However, since Xiao Lin did not keep his promise, it was as Lin Tian had said before, that he would lose his life here.


    Not long after, the movements in the Exquisite Pagoda disappeared and Elder Zhang retrieved the Exquisite Pagoda. At this time, only a puddle of pus was left at the foot of the Exquisite Pagoda ¡­


    An eighth level Star River Realm expert was thus killed by the Exquisite Pagoda!


    Lin Tian''s face finally revealed an expression of relief, but in Elder Zhang''s heart he secretly sighed: "This child''s temperament and talent is excellent. What''s rare is that he also has a Seven Apertures Mystical Heart!"


    Lin Tian''s schemes were vicious, without holding back, there was not a single thing that did not make Elder Zhang sigh. This child is not an ordinary person, he will definitely soar in the future, but I do not know if this will be a blessing or a curse for my Tian Luo Kingdom ¡­ ¡­

 C101

    With Xiao Lin''s death, Lin Tian could be considered to have resolved a matter in his heart.


    Lin Tian originally thought that Xiao Lin''s arrival was already a great calamity, but he did not expect that the result would be completely different.


    Of course, this also allowed Lin Tian to completely understand a principle. This world was originally a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Although Lin Tian wasn''t strong enough right now, he displayed his strong enough potential.


    Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Yunhai had painstakingly asked for an opportunity to help Lin Tian. Thus, if any of the stages were to go wrong, the situation today would be completely different.


    But now that the crisis was over, Lin Tian didn''t have anything to worry about.


    Old man Zhang was the first to leave with the Exquisite Pagoda. Originally, he had wanted Lin Tian to follow him there, but the third round of the Exquisite Pagoda was still a while away.


    Lin Tian didn''t want to go to the Cyan Plains first. Moreover, he still needed to cultivate more in order to comprehend everything he had.


    Ling Tianlie did not stay any longer. He was a teacher at the Azure Province Academy and he had already left privately for a long time. It would not be good if he stayed here for too long, so Elder Zhang left together with Ling Tianlie.


    As for Lin Tian, he continued to stay in the Sky Dragon Academy.


    Actually, there was another reason why Lin Tian stayed here. He wanted to find out what happened to his master at that time.


    Furthermore, Ling Tianlie had previously said that Xiao Yunhai had abandoned his own dignity to go beg his own grandmaster. This time, only Lin Tian had the chance to obtain the qualifications to train in the Exquisite Pagoda.


    Also, Xiao Yunhai was originally also a teacher at the Azure Province Academy, but why did he become the Principal of the Sky Dragon Academy in the end? It should be known that the Azure Province and the Sky Dragon City were two completely different concepts.


    He had never had a father or mother since he was young, and his only family member was Uncle Yu. However, Uncle Yu was already dead, and the only person who cared so much about him and still treated him so well was Xiao Yunhai.


    Although he now knew that his biological parents were still alive, in his heart, Xiao Yunhai was even more important to him.


    What was the purpose of practicing martial arts? It was to make yourself strong and not be bullied by others. Of course, it was also to protect those you liked, those you loved, those you thought were important to.


    Lin Tian''s goal in cultivating the martial way was to protect Uncle Yu. Of course, his current goal was to give his master a proper name!


    Xiao Yunhai treated him as if he was his own. Naturally, he wanted to uphold the reputation of his master. Otherwise, what use would his disciple have?


    However, Lin Tian was not in a hurry. He had gained a lot in the Exquisite Pagoda, whether it was his understanding of the God Transforming Steps, the martial arts he had just obtained, the Heaven Collapsing Palm, or the consolidation of his cultivation realm.


    The Qingzhou School''s selection was divided into three rounds. The first round had just begun.


    This was also the first round of selection. Generally speaking, Sky Dragon Academy didn''t have this qualification, but because Xiao Yunhai was previously a teacher of the Azure Province Academy, the Azure Province Academy would give the Sky Dragon Academy an additional spot every year.


    Of course, this year''s quota was for Lin Tian.


    The second round of selection was the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial to test the strength of the geniuses selected in the first round.


    Entering the seventh floor meant that they had passed the second round of the assessment. They already had the qualifications to enter the third round of selection.


    If the level of impact was higher, then it proved that the student''s potential was greater.


    For a monster like Lu Fan who had rushed all the way to the 18th level, he was the only one to do so in the past thousand years. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have caused the ancient bell to ring, attracting the attention of the Five Great Academies.


    The third round of selection was a trial of fire and blood.


    To put it bluntly, it meant killing and fighting.


    The three rounds of the exam would usually last for a month.


    Right now, the first round of selection had only just begun and Lin Tian had already passed the second round. This meant that Lin Tian still had a month''s time.


    He only needed to rush to the Azure Continent Academy and participate in the third round of the selection within a month.


    There was still a long period of time left. It was enough for Lin Tian to adjust his strength to its peak condition. He might even be able to break through a stage.


    Lin Tian returned to his room and first recovered his injuries. His injuries were actually not that serious in the first place. In addition, with the terrifying recovery abilities of the whirlpool of Dantian, Lin Tian pretty much recovered his injuries in half a day.


    Moreover, the power of the Pagoda Fruit within his body was once again stimulated, and the hidden injuries within his body that were left behind was also completely healed.


    After recuperating from his injuries, when his strength had completely stabilized at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm, Lin Tian did not hesitate and went straight to the Green Cliff Mountain.


    Cultivating the God Transforming Steps and the power of the Heaven Collapsing Palm required real combat.


    The Rank 3 Demonic Beast deep within the Green Cliff Mountain had become Lin Tian''s first choice.


    Lin Tian''s current strength was only around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. To kill a third level beast that was comparable to a Golden Core Realm martial artist, the difficulty was rather high for Lin Tian, but Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. Only a demonic beast stronger than him could test Lin Tian''s true strength.


    After half a month, Lin Tian was still soaking in the back mountains of the Green Cliff Mountain. He kept on killing, escaping, returning, killing, and once again escaping.


    All of the Rank 3 Demonic Beasts in the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain were disturbed by Lin Tian. Once, it even attracted a total of eight Rank 3 Demonic Beasts. They crazily ran deep within the Green Cliff Mountain in order to chase and kill Lin Tian.


    But in the end, Lin Tian was still able to successfully escape.


    In the tempering of life and death, Lin Tian had a new understanding of everything he learned. The God Transforming Steps and Heaven Collapsing Palm were both displayed more and more proficiently.


    Of course, this kind of continuous slaughter also attracted the attention of all the Demonic Beasts within the depths of the Green Cliff Mountain.


    Later on, as long as there were demon beasts that discovered Lin Tian''s traces, a large group of demon beasts would immediately gather and chase after and kill Lin Tian. In the end, they forced Lin Tian to give up and escape the Green Cliff Mountain.


    "God damn, wasn''t it just killing a few Monstrous Beasts? Is there really a need to chase me out of the Green Cliff Mountain?" Lin Tian swore as he used the God Transforming Steps to escape.


    Behind him was a black mass of Monstrous Beasts. Those Monstrous Beasts were scrambling to chase after the fleeing Lin Tian. The entire land of the Green Cliff Mountain was violently shaking because of the Monstrous Beast''s stomps. The situation was extremely terrifying.


    However, the cause of all this was Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was completely on the black list of those demon beasts. As long as he entered the territory of the Green Cliff Mountain, the demon beasts of the Green Cliff Mountain would be able to smell his body odor.


    Lin Tian walked in and out three times. This was his last attempt to enter the Green Cliff Mountain, but unfortunately, he was still kicked out.


    "You are being unreasonable, do you understand? You are robbers and rascals!" Lin Tian stood at the exit of the Green Cliff Mountain and roared at the monster in front of him.


    He was extremely angry and those Monstrous Beasts did not really want to kill him because with just them, they could not kill Lin Tian. The reason why they all moved out was actually very simple. It was to prevent Lin Tian from entering the Green Cliff Mountain.


    So every time, they would chase Lin Tian out of the Green Cliff Mountain and after that, they would no longer continue chasing.


    Lin Tian was truly angry this time and couldn''t help but curse loudly: "Is the Green Cliff Mountain opened by your family!"


    All the monsters stared blankly at Lin Tian, not knowing what he was doing.


    "Forget it, I''ll tell you guys that you guys don''t understand either ¡­" Lin Tian shook his head. In any case, he had already achieved his goal so there was no need to stay. Lin Tian turned around and was about to leave.


    The demonic beasts also retreated one after another.


    Lin Tian saw the opportunity and wanted to once again enter the Green Cliff Mountain. The demon beasts of the Green Cliff Mountain quickly gathered one by one and pounced towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian Deng stopped and retreated step by step. Lin Tian grit his teeth and said: "You guys are ruthless!"


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly left the Green Cliff Mountain. Then, he looked at the Green Cliff Mountain with reluctance: "This is the last time I''m here ¡­"


    He was going to leave Sky Dragon City and head to the Cyan Plains in the next few days. In the future, he would be able to travel a long distance, and he was afraid that he would never come back.


    At the start, Lin Tian killed a few monsters. Afterwards, he was able to control the strength of the Heaven Collapsing Palm, so Lin Tian didn''t kill a single demon beast.


    Qing Ya Mountain, Sky Dragon City. This was his homeland. He was finally leaving.


    To be honest, he was truly reluctant.


    Lin Tian shook his head, lightly sighed, and then left.


    Behind him, the howls of the demon beasts in the Green Cliff Mountain rose and fell one after another, shaking like thunder.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled, and directly used the God Transforming Steps without the slightest hesitation to leave this place.


    On this day, Lin Tian was sixteen years old.


    When he returned to Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian was already preparing his things. There was still half a month left before the third round of Qingzhou Selection Competition.


    Sky Dragon City was in the northernmost part of the Azure Province and it was incomparably desolate. It was several hundred miles away from the Azure Province, and for normal people, it required half a month''s journey. Lin Tian had the God Transforming Steps, so he only needed five days to reach the Azure Province.


    Lin Tian decided to set off tomorrow. Tonight, it was time to ask Xiao Yunhai about what had happened that year.


    After he finished packing, Lin Tian even went to look for Zhang Yi.


    Zhang Yi''s aptitude was very terrifying, after having undergone the transformation from dragon blood, her aptitude became even more terrifying.


    He had already reached Qi Disciple level 5.


    Right now, Lin Tian had almost absorbed a thousandth of the Ancestral Dragon blood. The blood essence in his body was even more terrifying. This blood pill was enough to support his future path of martial arts.


    Lin Tian had also passed the Great Destruction Fist to Zhang Yi. The Heaven Breaking Palm was too high level, which was not suitable for Zhang Yi. The Great Creation Fist was enough for her to train to the Qi Hai level without changing her martial arts.


    After bidding farewell to Zhang Yi''s parents, Lin Tian once again returned to his room.


    "Tian, you''re back." As soon as Lin Tian returned to his room, he discovered that his master was already sitting in his study.


    "Come, master has something to say to you." Xiao Yunhai lightly said to Lin Tian.


    "Is Master talking about what happened that year?" Lin Tian silently said in his heart, but he still unhesitatingly walked into the room.

 C102

    "Tian, I''m extremely gratified to see your current rate of growth." Xiao Yunhai first sighed with emotion, then lightly said: "I know you must have a lot of questions in your heart, so there''s no harm in asking them one by one."


    "Master, what happened to you all those years ago?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and decided to first ask this question.


    "Master has to start from the beginning if you ask this question." Xiao Yunhai''s gaze flickered, as if he had returned to that year.


    "In the past, I was born in Sky Dragon City. The previous Principal in Sky Dragon City was my master, and also the current Principal of the Azure Province!" Xiao Yunhai''s words were astonishing.


    "What? My ancestor is the current headmaster of the Azure Province Academy?" Lin Tian asked in disbelief.


    "Of course, when it comes to your grandteacher, which is also my master, you can be considered a legend ¡­"


    That year, he was obsessed with martial arts, but after cultivating for most of his life, he was only in the Aurous Core stage. But in the end, at the age of forty, he suddenly gained enlightenment at the imperial court, and his blood and Qi soared straight to the clouds, all the way up to the ninth level of the Astral Realm, making him one of the top experts in the entire Tian Luo Kingdom! Even though Xiao Yunhai had said all of these things, he was still somewhat fascinated by it.


    Lin Tian was even more so. He never thought that his Martial Ancestor would be a powerful existence like enlightenment.


    After his sudden enlightenment, he attracted the attention of the king. Coincidentally, the end of the president of the Azure Province was near, and he could no longer hold the position of president. The king let him temporarily supervise the Azure Province Academy, and later on he became the president of the Azure Province Academy.


    Xiao Yunhai recounted what happened that year in detail.


    Then he began to talk about himself.


    "Back then, I was also a student of the Sky Dragon Academy. After three rounds of selection, I became a disciple of the Northern Courtyard of the Azure Province ¡­"


    "Northern Courtyard?" Lin Tian had some doubts and couldn''t help but ask.


    The Azure Province Academy is divided into the East, West, North, and North Academies, while the four academies are divided into the Outer Academy and the Inner Academy. In general, the disciples who enter the Outer Academy will be selected, and only after going through the Inner Academy''s selection will they be able to become true students of the Inner Academy. Of course, no matter if it is the Inner Academy or the Outer Academy, they are all students of the Azure Province Academy.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. Only then did he gain a new understanding of the Azure Province Academy.


    "When I first entered the Northern Courtyard, due to my decent talent, I quickly went from the outer court of the Northern Courtyard to become an inner court disciple." As Xiao Yunhai spoke to here, he also smiled and said: "Back then, although my talent was not as good as yours, it could still be considered outstanding amongst the group of disciples that were selected by the Azure Province Academy."


    "After I stepped into the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, your grandmaster immediately transferred me to become a teacher in the outer court of the Northern Courtyard."


    "Originally, all of this would have passed peacefully. It''s even possible that I am still working as a teacher in the Azure Province Academy ¡­"


    As Xiao Yunhai spoke to here, he sighed. Lin TianAo only knew that the matter that Xiao Yunhai was about to say would definitely be related to the unforeseen event that Xiao Yunhai encountered afterwards.


    Sure enough, Xiao Yunhai continued: "Until something happened afterwards ¡­"


    We have a total of nine disciples, because I am the youngest. Although I was previously a student of your ancestor, I was also the last one to take him as my master. Ling Tianlie, you also know that he is your uncle master, as well as the uncle master Yuan who was in front of the illusory dragon gate. He is ranked eighth, and I am ranked ninth, so he is also your ancestor''s last disciple. Xiao Yunhai continued.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. At that time, before the shadow of the dragon gate, there was a Martial Uncle Yuan.


    However, that Senior Master Yuan and Xiao Yunhai''s relationship did not seem to be that good. On the contrary, the relationship between Master Bai, Ling Tianlie, and Xiao Yunhai was more like that of fellow apprentices.


    "One day, your grandmaster told us nine disciples to meet him. He said that he wanted to give us a secret mission to track down the news of Blood Demon Sect ¡­"


    "Blood Demon Sect?" Lin Tian was extremely unfamiliar with this name, but from the sound of it, it seemed like it was a sect that cultivated the demonic way.


    "That''s right. A thousand years ago, the Blood Demon Sect was the overlord of the Western Spirit Region. Now, the six Saint sects of the Western Spirit Region are nothing in front of the Blood Demon Sect." "The reason why the Blood Demon Sect was so powerful at that time was entirely because of the Blood Demon Sect''s cultivation method. The Blood Demon Sect''s cultivation method was extremely terrifying, using the blood sacrifice of the living to increase their own strength. At that time, the Blood Demon Sect had a blood river that was said to be formed by sacrificing thousands of kingdoms and massacring billions of people."


    "There''s actually such a terrifying sect?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. Blood sacrificed thousands of kingdoms and massacred billions of people just for the sake of cultivating ¡­


    It was said that the Blood Demon Sect was extremely cruel back then. The higher-ups of Zhen Wu Jie had been shaken by the news and sent their top experts to wipe out the Blood Demon Sect, but they had also paid a heavy price to do so. At that time, the higher-ups had burned down all of the Blood Demon Sect''s secret techniques, treasures, secret manuals, and everything else in order to prevent the Blood Demon Sect from rekindling again.


    Xiao Yunhai slowly said. He had actually given Lin Tian a secret from many years ago.


    "Therefore, when your grandmaster learned of the Blood Demon Sect''s news, he was extremely shocked. However, because he was unable to leave during the great competition, he sent nine of us to investigate the Blood Demon Sect directly."


    "We naturally knew that something urgent had happened. Without any hesitation, we all went to different places and started searching for information about the Blood Demon Sect, but unfortunately, we were all unable to find anything. However, it was also at this time that I met your master''s wife ¡­"


    "Mistress?" This was the first time Lin Tian had heard Xiao Yunhai take the initiative to talk about Mistress. Originally, Lin Tian had thought that Xiao Yunhai didn''t have a wife ¡­


    That''s right, your mistress. I met her in Heavenly Star City, and she''s a hero saving a beauty ¡­" Xiao Yunhai sighed once again: "At first, I thought that it was a hero saving the beauty. Now, it seems that it should have been a trap that they had planned long ago ¡­


    "A hero saving a beauty? A trap? " When Lin Tian heard this, he was confused, but then he suddenly thought of a possibility ¡­


    "Could it be?"


    "That''s right. At that time, your Mistress was bullied by an evil person. I did not hesitate to help her. After that, your Mistress and I fell in love ¡­" The corner of Xiao Yunhai''s mouth rose into a faint smile.


    "At that time, if I wanted to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Sect, I would naturally have stayed in Heavenly Star City. In just half a month, your mistress and I had become extremely close. Of course, I did not hide it from her. Xiao Yunhai sighed deeply, "I didn''t expect that it would also be like this, which resulted in the calamity that would come later."


    Lin Tian''s gaze was incredulous as he stared at Xiao Yunhai. He then asked: "Could it be, could it be that Mistress is ¡­"


    "That''s right. Your mistress is from Blood Demon Sect." Xiao Yunhai seemed to know Lin Tian''s thoughts and directly interrupted him.


    "Furthermore, she''s not a small fry. She''s the Holy Maiden of the Blood Demon Sect ¡­"


    "I wonder where they got the information from. They knew that we were investigating them, so they decided to scheme and get the information out of me."


    "Later on, when your Martial Ancestor and the others found out that the secret stronghold of the Blood Demon Sect was in Heavenly Star City, the Blood Demon Sect members had already secretly escaped ¡­"


    "So, your grandmaster questioned me, because I was investigating information about Heavenly Star City. However, not long after I was with your mistress, she told me that she was pregnant with my child. At that time, I wasn''t in the mood to investigate other information, so I just stayed by her side the whole time ¡­"


    "Later on, your grandteacher found me and flew into a rage. Just as I was about to bring your grandteacher to see her, your grandmaster disappeared ¡­" Xiao Yunhai''s face was filled with bitterness: "When she left, she only left this ¡­"


    Xiao Yunhai took out a crystal-like pendant from his chest.


    "And then?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Later on, your grandmaster led people to chase after the people of the Blood Demon Sect, but in the end, they all ended up returning empty-handed." Xiao Yunhai''s gaze was indifferent.


    "Your grandmaster was about to cripple me. He was going to use family law, but he was stopped by his fellow seniors."


    "But at the same time, I also discovered that something was wrong with my body. My strength was actually constantly declining. So it turns out that my sea of consciousness had already been poisoned by your master ¡­"


    "What?" When Lin Tian heard this, his eyes turned completely bloodshot. How was this a master''s wife? That woman''s vicious mood had deceived his master''s feelings, and she had even poisoned him.


    "Things have already come to this point. I also have no face to see your ancestor. Your ancestor kicked me out of the school, and also drove me out of the Azure Province Academy."


    "Master, what''s the name of my mistress?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask. Such a venomous woman, moreover, such a vicious woman. If Lin Tian were to meet her in the future, how could he let her go?


    "I don''t know either." Xiao Yunhai bitterly laughed, "I also didn''t know why I would like her, moreover, I didn''t even know her name ¡­"


    "And then?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    Later on, my seniors and juniors continued to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Sect. I returned to the Sky Dragon Academy and became the dean, but many years ago, I heard your senior uncle say that all of them died at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect. Out of your seniors and juniors, only your senior uncle, I, and that Senior Uncle Yuan were left ¡­.


    "What?" Lin Tian felt this was even more inconceivable. The Blood Demon Sect dared to be so insolent. They even dared to take revenge!


    "That''s right, if I were to encounter something like this, I would be even more afraid to face them. But back then, the poison had already started devouring my sea of consciousness. I felt that it wouldn''t be long before I died, but I didn''t expect you to cure me ¡­" The corner of Xiao Yunhai''s mouth rose into a smile.

 C103

    The first thing that Lin Tian did after he established his sea of consciousness was to pull out the dead aura from Xiao Yunhai''s body. Lin Tian clearly remembered that when he had entered Xiao Yunhai''s sea of consciousness to investigate, Xiao Yunhai''s entire sea of consciousness had corroded even more than the dead aura.


    It must have been sent by your master''s wife, because at that time, I introduced my master to your master''s wife in detail. At that time, your master was always in the Azure Province Academy, and your master''s uncle, that Master Yuan, was sent by your master''s ancestor to carry out another mission, so in the end, all of you escaped this calamity. But your other master''s masters, all of them continued to investigate those people of the Blood Demon Sect, and ultimately died in your master''s hands ¡­ "


    "Master, do you hate her?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Hate?" Xiao Yunhai faintly smiled: "I''m fine. So many years have passed, and I''ve put down what I should have. Compared to back then, my mood right now is much better, but right now, I really want to know one thing."


    "What is it?"


    "Is it true that your Mistress did not love me back then, and did not tell you about the child she spoke of?!" As Xiao Yunhai spoke to here, his eyes suddenly shot out a sharp, shocking light.


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn''t understand what Xiao Yunhai''s words meant.


    "Tian, this time, when you go to the Azure Province Academy, I will have to leave ¡­" Xiao Yunhai softly said.


    "Are you going to look for Mistress?" Lin Tiandeng immediately understood Xiao Yunhai''s meaning.


    Back then, that Mistress of his, whom he had never met, had deceived his Master to such an extent. How could his Master not have any complaints at all?


    Especially because of that Mistress, his own master had betrayed his family and friends. Even the senior brother who had treated him like his own brother had been killed by Mistress'' people.


    Xiao Yunhai''s heart also probably didn''t feel good.


    The reason he waited for Lin Tian to leave was probably because he was worried about Lin Tian.


    "Master, when I return from the Azure Province Academy, I will go with you!" Lin Tian said without hesitation: "That Mistress, since she has such ability, even if you go ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian was still a little worried for Xiao Yunhai''s safety. When he heard Xiao Yunhai talk about the Mistress, Lin Tian knew that she was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with. Not only did she have a scheming mind, she also had other methods.


    If Xiao Yunhai rashly went to look for her, instead, it was possible for unexpected accidents to happen.


    "Tian, is Master really that weak in your heart?" Xiao Yunhai lightly smiled. Without waiting for Lin Tian to say anything, he directly interrupted Lin Tian''s words: "Don''t worry. I have my own plans on this matter. I definitely won''t recklessly throw my life away."


    Xiao Yunhai''s current strength was at the first level of the Star River Realm. However, it wouldn''t be long before he could reach the second level of the Star River Realm. An expert of the Star River Realm could actually go on a rampage in the entire Tian Luo Kingdom.


    After thinking about it, he didn''t need to worry too much about it.


    Xiao Yunhai also lightly said: "Alright, you don''t need to care too much about Master''s matters. The third round of the Qingzhou Academy selection is about to begin, prepare well."


    After he finished speaking, Xiao Yunhai didn''t stay any longer and directly left.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but sink into deep thought as he watched Xiao Yunhai leave.


    He was thinking about what kind of method that so-called mistress had used to cause his master to be so captivated.


    Furthermore, the Blood Demon Sect actually still existed.


    Although Lin Tian didn''t know much about the Devil Dao, he had heard that those people killed people without a care. Moreover, they liked to use strangers as sacrifices and were extremely cruel.


    An existence such as this would sooner or later become the natural enemy of the entire Tian Luo Kingdom.


    However, Lin Tian was currently too weak. Even if the Blood Demon Sect appeared, it was not his place to eradicate them. However, he still secretly guarded himself to prevent the Blood Demon Sect from speaking out against them.


    Hopefully, the Mistress would not make a move against Xiao Yunhai. If those bastards of the Blood Demon Sect really dared to make a move against Xiao Yunhai, Lin Tian wouldn''t mind killing a person from the Blood Demon Sect and causing the entire Blood Demon Sect to die as well as their own master!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s face was ice-cold. The fierceness in his eyes flashed past.


    He simply packed up and stored some of the necessary items into his storage ring. Afterwards, he sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.


    The next day, Lin Tian went to Uncle Yu''s grave early in the morning and bid him farewell.


    On this trip to the Azure Province, he was afraid that he wouldn''t return for a short period of time. Lin Tian told Zhang Yi to come here from time to time to help sweep Uncle Yu''s grave.


    As for the Thunder Leopard that he had brought from the Heavenly Thunder City, Lin Tian had originally wanted Lei Bao to bring him to the location of the wooden box that Lei Bao had found earlier. However, he had already swallowed the devil inside the wooden box and absorbed his memories.


    Lin Tian let Lei Bao head back first, and also included a letter for Ma Feng from the Clear Pavilion in the Heavenly Thunder City. He wanted Ma Feng to settle Lei Bao down, allowing Lei Bao to live a carefree life.


    After settling everything in his mind, Lin Tian no longer had anything to worry about and directly set off.


    Azure Province was still a long way from Sky Dragon City.


    However, on the road, Lin Tian did not delay at all. In only seven to eight days, he arrived in the Azure Province from the Sky Dragon City.


    Currently, there were only a few days left before the third round of Qingzhou Academy''s selection.


    Lin Tian first went to an inn in Qingzhou City and stayed there. In these few days, he could take advantage of it and rest well. His journey was travel worn and he was indeed tired.


    Moreover, he intended to make a move on a batch of demon beast corpses that he had accumulated over a period of time.


    From the tenth to the fifteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, there were corpses of demon beasts. Lin Tian had killed those demon beasts, so naturally he did not show any courtesy and directly stored them into his storage ring.


    Previously in Sky Dragon City, Lin Tian was busy with cultivation and did not care about those things. Now that he was free, he could take care of these demon beast corpses.


    Qingzhou City was thousands of times bigger than Sky Dragon City. The distance from East City to West City still required a whole day of travel.


    The Azure Province Academy was next to the eastern city, so Lin Tian naturally directly came to the eastern city.


    In the eastern part of the Azure Continent, the Tianluo Chamber of Commerce was located there.


    Tian Luo Kingdom had two main merchant guilds: one was Tian Luo Country''s official Tian Luo Merchant Guild, and the other was Qing Xuan Pavilion.


    These two great chambers of commerce, in each of the states, as well as in the large cities beneath the prefectures, all had their branches or branches.


    The Clear Pavilion was in the West City. Lin Tian had originally wanted to sell this item to the Clear Pavilion, but it was a pity that the Clear Pavilion was too far, so he simply went to the Tian Luo Merchant Guild.


    Although it was Lin Tian''s first time here, there was no one in the Azure Province who did not know of the Tian Luo Merchant Guild. It would not be difficult to find them after a little investigation.


    "Young master, welcome to Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce. May I ask, do you want to buy something, or are you trying to sell something?" Just as Lin Tian entered the main hall of the Tianluo Chamber of Commerce, a maid came up to welcome him.


    "Selling." Lin Tian replied indifferently.


    As he spoke, Lin Tian had already looked around the entire hall. The entire hall was very large and the counter was placed at the back of the hall. On top of the counter were countless pills and medicine.


    Currently, there was no one in the hall. Lin Tian was the only one.


    "I wonder what Young Master wants to sell? Medicinal pills, spirit weapons, medicinal herbs, or something else?" The maid politely asked, before she added, "The prices of our Tianluo Chamber of Commerce are all very fair. Please rest assured, Young Master."


    "Do you want the corpses of the demon beasts?" Lin Tian directly asked.


    "I thought he was a big client, but I didn''t expect that he was just a hunter ¡­" The maid''s attitude immediately turned cold as she muttered impatiently. Her tone was no longer as courteous as before, "If it''s a Rank 1 Demonic Beast, then forget about it. Our Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce will not accept it ¡­"


    Even if he went to the mountains to adventure and hunt demon beasts, with his strength, wouldn''t it look like all the demon beasts he could take out were Rank 1 demon beasts? Rank 1 demon beasts, for the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, they really couldn''t look down on him ¡­


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian looked at the maid''s attitude and was slightly surprised, but he immediately guessed a bit and coldly said: "Since that''s the case, then I''ll take my leave."


    The maid immediately turned around and did not call out to Lin Tian anymore. She was too lazy to even say anything about walking slowly.


    Lin Tian''s heart was filled with rage. The Tianluo Merchant Guild was indeed an official merchant guild. A mere maid was actually looking down on them like that.


    "At most, I''ll just go to the West City''s Clear Pavilion." Lin Tian turned around and was about to leave.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to turn around and leave, an old man suddenly walked out of the inner hall. Just as Lin Tian turned around and was about to leave, an old man suddenly walked out of the inner hall.


    The maid who was called Xiao Yue glanced at Lin Tian and then indifferently said: "Oh, it''s just a country bumpkin hunter who wants to sell a Rank 1 Demonic Beast. I told him that we wouldn''t accept him ¡­ ¡­"


    "So that''s how it is." The old man nodded his head and instructed: "Xiao Yue, in the next few days, you have to be careful. If anyone comes to sell high-level demon beasts, especially rank 3 demon beasts, they must buy them no matter what the cost is. Do you understand?"


    Xiao Yue asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, why are you suddenly so interested in the demonic beast business!"


    "It''s not that I care about it, it''s that Master Zhang needs a Rank 3 Demonic Beast''s inner core to serve as a guide for his medicine ¡­" At this point, the shopkeeper suddenly asked, "Xiao Yue, did he say he was selling a Rank 1 Demonic Beast?"


    When Xiao Yue heard this, her heart jumped. Just now, she was only looking at Lin Tian''s attire and decided that Lin Tian was selling Stage 1 Demonic Beasts. She did not ask in detail, but this time, the owner suddenly asked and she did not know how to reply.


    "You didn''t ask him?" When the shopkeeper saw that Xiao Yue was hesitating, he immediately guessed what was going on.


    Xiao Yue''s face paled and she quickly knelt down, "I have been negligent, please punish me..."


    "Forget it, he doesn''t look like he can take out a rank 3 beast. Even if he has a rank 2 beast in his possession, it''s useless. Just treat it as giving up. But you must pay attention in the future." The shopkeeper warned as he began to calculate the accounts.


    Xiao Yue nodded and stood up, but her back was covered in cold sweat.


    However, Xiao Yue quickly recovered. Of course, she still believed in her judgement. How could a poor kid from the countryside take out a Rank 3 Demonic Beast?

 C104

    Lin Tian who had just left the Tian Luo Merchant Guild was about to rush back to the inn first. Tomorrow, he would head to the Qing Xuan Hall in the West City, but before he took a few steps, he was stopped by someone.


    "Young Master, Young Master, please wait." The voice of an attendant came from behind.


    Lin Tian turned around to look and saw a coachman looking manservant running towards Lin Tian.


    "I don''t ride." Lin Tian directly refused.


    "No, no, no. Young master, I saw that you just entered the Tian Luo Merchant Guild. What do you need to buy and sell?" What''s missing from the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, our Qing Xuan Hall might actually have one, which can satisfy Young Noble''s needs. " The attendant smiled and said to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was slightly surprised and furrowed his brows as he asked: "You, you are from the Clear Pavilion?"


    "Yes." The boy nodded and said.


    Lin Tian Meng immediately understood. This boy was from the Clear Pavilion and he had disguised himself as the coachman to hide in front of the door of the Tian Luo Merchant Guild. Presumably, he was here to attract business, this sort of method of competition was not strange at all.


    "How do you know I didn''t buy anything in the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, or didn''t sell anything?" Lin Tian''s interest was immediately piqued. Just now, when that attendant opened his mouth, he guessed that Lin Tian didn''t buy or sell anything.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t say that the Clear Pavilion might have something that could satisfy Lin Tian''s needs.


    "That''s not difficult." The servant smiled, "Young master only went in for about three sentences. If young master is here to buy things, then the Luo Chamber of Commerce will not have it tomorrow, because you can''t do a single business with just three sentences. If young master is here to sell things, then the same thing is not agreed upon."


    That manservant spoke slowly, and his words weren''t wrong at all.


    Lin Tian immediately became interested and then smiled: "You''re pretty smart. That''s right, I''m going to sell, but there''s no agreement."


    "I''ve been here for three years. Basically, I can tell with a single glance." "Young master, I don''t know what you want to sell, but I can guarantee that the price that our Clear Pavilion offered is not lower than that of the Tianluo Chamber of Commerce. As long as young master''s items are good enough, we can negotiate any price."


    Hearing the attendant''s solemn promise, Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly said: "Demonic Beast."


    "So it''s a Monstrous Beast." The servant immediately said, "Oh." Then he said, "No wonder Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce doesn''t accept them. Every day, there are countless groups of mercenaries that come to deliver demon beasts to Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce, but most of them are Rank One demon beasts. The business inside the Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce is already saturated, so it''s normal that they don''t accept Rank One demon beasts."


    "That''s right, young master. Is the demon beast in your hand a rank one demon beast as well?" the manservant asked.


    Lin Tian nodded his head but did not deny it. He wanted to test what attitude the Clear Pavilion would have towards him.


    In fact, our Qingxuan Pavilion doesn''t accept a Rank 1 Demonic Beast, because we also have a set number of mercenaries to give to you. However, since we''re having such a conversation, I naturally wouldn''t be able to see your Demonic Beast fall into your hands. Let''s go, I''ll go beg Big Sister Hua so she can accept your Demonic Beast.


    Lin Tian''s heart was inexplicably moved. For this boy to act like this to a stranger, it was enough to see his character.


    "Oh right, what''s your name? My name is Jiang Liu''er and I grew up with big sister Hua. What about you? Are you an adventurer?" Jiang Liu''er introduced herself and then asked Lin Tian for his name.


    "That''s right, I''m a hunter. My name is Lin Tian. I came from the countryside to live in the Azure Province." Lin Tian faintly smiled.


    "Lin Tian." Jiang Liu''er remembered this name and said generously: "You''ve found someone when you met me. You''re a martial cultivator, right? If you''re a martial cultivator, you can come to my Qing Xuan Pavilion and I''ll ask Big Sister Hua to give you a job. You don''t have to work so hard."


    "How can I be embarrassed?" Lin Tian politely said.


    "How old are you?" Jiang Liu''er could not help but ask.


    "Sixteen." Lin Tian had a strange expression as he replied.


    "I''m only fourteen." Jiang Liu''er laughed out loud and said: "You''re not bad, I''ve made friends with you. I''ll call you Brother Tian from now on, we''ll be brothers ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with laughter and at the same time, he was incomparably moved. This Jiang Liu''er rarely had such a pure heart, and he never would have thought that. He faintly smiled and then indifferently said: "Okay."


    Jiang Liu''er was immediately elated. She pulled Lin Tian Tian along and said, "Let''s go. Brother Tian, I''ll bring you back to the Clear Pavilion."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was a bit surprised: "The Qing Xuan Pavilion is in the West City. From here to the West City needs a day''s time. It''s already late at night by then, so I might as well go tomorrow."


    "Hehe, don''t worry. I have a plan. We''ll be there in a moment." Jiang Liu''er suddenly whistled. It was unknown when, but a fiery red Qilin horse ran over from the distance.


    Lin Tian had heard of the Qilin horse before. It was said that it had a trace of the qilin''s bloodline, and the qilin began to compare itself to the dragon race''s divine beast. The Qilin horse had a trace of a bloodline that was ten thousand times faster than ordinary horses.


    Perhaps only a wealthy sect like the Qing Xuan Pavilion would be able to obtain such a special talent.


    "With it, we can reach the West City in two hours." Jiang Liu''er excitedly said to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian smiled. Jiang Liu''er''s interest was so high that Lin Tian could not bear to let him go. He simply followed Jiang Liu''er and mounted the qilin horse. Together, they headed to the Clear Pavilion.


    In less than two hours, Lin Tian and Jiang Liu''er had already arrived at the entrance of the Clear Pavilion.


    Just as he dismounted, a maid walked out from the main hall of the Clear Pavilion. With a face full of smiles, she looked at Jiang Liu''er: "Ah, Liu''er has returned. What, have you gotten anything today?"


    "Of course there is. I made a friend. He''s called Lin Tian, my brother." Jiang Liu''er pulled Lin Tian to walk in front of the maid, who scanned her surroundings.


    Without waiting for the maid to speak, Lin Tian instead spoke: "I''m here to sell. After selling, if you have something good, then I''m also here to buy."


    The servant girl looked at Lin Tian who did not seem like he could sell anything good, nor did he look like a rich family''s child. But being professional and courteous, she still shouted into the room: "Big sister Hua, there''s a guest ¡­ ¡­"


    Hearing this, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth twitched. It sounded so much like ¡­


    "A guest has arrived. Why are you letting the guest stand outside? Come in." An extremely pleasant voice sounded out within the hall.


    Lin Tian was slightly stunned as he was pulled directly to the main hall of the Clear Pavilion by Jiang Liu''er.


    Currently, standing in front of the counter was a beauty that couldn''t be described as beautiful. He wore a fiery-red dress, revealing his snow-white neck, fiery red lips, and a face that didn''t have the slightest bit of dust on it.


    But in the next moment, a warm current came from Lin Tian''s body. He immediately retracted his gaze and was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    "Charm Spell!" Lin Tian exclaimed in his heart.


    This girl was actually using such a bewitching secret technique on him. If it wasn''t for Lin Tian''s warning, he would have already been immersed in that girl''s beauty.


    When the woman saw Lin Tian had actually instantly recovered, she was somewhat shocked. The person in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person. He should be an extremely powerful martial cultivator.


    Just as the woman was about to say something, Jiang Liu''er suddenly said: "Brother Tian, you''re so awesome. Other people are all confused when they see my sister, and their saliva will roll down. You, why aren''t you reacting at all?"


    "..." Lin Tian was speechless and simply changed the topic: "Little brother, you still haven''t told me who this is?"


    "This is my sister Hua." Jiang Liu''er did not notice that Lin Tian had already changed the topic and said to Sister Hua: "Sister Hua, this is my friend. Lin Tian, he came to sell something, he originally went to the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, but no one wanted to, so I brought him to our Clear Pavilion."


    "Sister Hua, am I amazing ¡­" Jiang Liu''er had a look of "You have to praise me".


    Sister Hua gave a faint smile and said: "Right, right, our Liu''er is the best."


    Saying that, elder sister Hua arrived in front of Lin Tian and indifferently said: "Sir Lin right? If you want to sell anything, please take it out."


    "Hua ¡­ flower girl, can you change the location?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and then said.


    "Hmm?" Elder sister Hua''s beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, but when she saw that Lin Tian''s eyes were clear and didn''t have any other intentions, it was completely different from those ordinary men''s dirty gazes.


    Sister Hua became more and more astonished. She was also somewhat curious about Lin Tian: "Okay, please come in the hall."


    Jiang Liu''er froze for a moment before asking, "Brother Tian, you ¡­"


    "Wait here for a moment, I''ll tell you when I get out." Lin Tian faintly smiled and then entered the inner hall.


    Big Sister Hua also smiled at Jiang Liu''er and the maids before turning around and entering the inner hall as well.


    The inner hall was a very unique and elegant room. It had a slight aroma of incense, but it was very faint.


    "Young master is a martial cultivator?" After the two of them sat down, Sister Hua asked first.


    Yes, I am a martial cultivator." Lin Tian nodded his head but did not deny. This woman possessed a charm technique, and Lin Tian had instantly broken through it. Thus, it was not difficult for her to know that Lin Tian was a martial cultivator.


    "In that case, it seems like we have picked up a treasure. Since young master is a martial cultivator, he must have taken out something extraordinary. The Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce must have misjudged him ¡­" That elder sister Hua gently opened her red lips as she smiled sweetly and said.


    Lin Tian immediately turned his head, not daring to look at her, afraid that he would be hit again. This girl was simply too terrifying, her enchanting power could be said to be complete.


    "It''s seductive bones, naturally seductive bones!" This is also a special kind of physique, similar to the last time when I saw the poisonous body. But the best place for this kind of woman is to use it as a furnace, to dual cultivate with Yin and Yang. It has endless benefits for both you and her.


    "..." Lin Tian did not pay attention to Hornless, he already had Yun Huang, so he naturally did not have any plans to attack the woman in front of him. However, since Lin Tian knew that this was the cause of his physique, he did not give it any more thought.


    "It is indeed a good item, but it can also be considered fate. I am fated to be with the Clear Pavilion." Lin Tian smiled faintly, then said: "The Clear Pavilion has a branch in the Heavenly Thunder City, the head there, Ma Feng, is old with me, this time, I was planning to save some trouble, so I went to the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, but in the end, they did not want it, and after going out they met Jiang Liu''er, and in the end, they still came to the Clear Pavilion ¡­"


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but sigh. This was fate.

 C105

    Only, Lin Tian felt that it was fate, that sister Hua did not think that way. That elder sister Hua slightly smiled, then said: "Really? So the young master has such a deep relationship with my Clear Pavilion ¡­ ¡­"


    After Lin Tian heard elder sister Hua''s words, he knew that this elder sister Hua did not want to believe what he had said.


    Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders. That didn''t matter, as he didn''t really care about Sister Hua''s attitude. He had only come here to give face to Jiang Liu''er.


    "Seems like the flower girl doesn''t really believe me." Lin Tian didn''t waste any words: "Then let''s get straight to the point. My purpose for coming here is to sell things. For these things, I ask Miss Hua to give me an estimate. Gold coins and less. I''ll use Spirit Stones to appraise everything else."


    Lin Tian didn''t need much gold coins because other than the basic expenses, he didn''t need any more gold coins.


    As for the other pills, divine weapons, and the like, Lin Tian didn''t really need them.


    The dragon blood in his body was the purest spirit flower in the world. Lin Tian had tried something like pills before, and when he killed that Old Devil Yin, he had obtained the spirit pills that Old Devil Yin had accumulated over the years.


    Lin Tian borrowed the elixir to cultivate for a period of time, but up until now, he had never taken another elixir. At most, he would take a few healing elixirs, but with the help of elixirs, perhaps for others, it might not be bad, but for Lin Tian, it was too inappropriate.


    Because it was not a pill of the highest quality, Lin Tian consuming it would be a burden.


    Pills were divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade fourth-grade. Only when the purity of the pill was at 99% could it be called a top-grade pill.


    Lin Tian could only take these elixirs and didn''t need to expel the impurities. But the other three quality elixirs, if Lin Tian took them, would be a burden.


    The medicinal effects could indeed speed up his cultivation speed, but the impurities needed to be removed in a timely manner.


    This was too troublesome for Lin Tian. He had a drop of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence in his body. What kind of pure and powerful strength was that? Compared to medicinal pills, it was more than a hundred thousand times stronger.


    As long as he could stimulate his potential to a certain extent, he would be able to absorb a bit of essence, blood, and Qi.


    To him, this was stronger and more solid than any medicinal pill.


    Pills might be essential for other cultivators, but for Lin Tian, they were useless.


    As for Divine Weapons, the Dragon Scale Spear was enough to instantly kill all the Divine Weapons. Moreover, Lin Tian could faintly feel that he still hadn''t completely unearthed the power from the Dragon Scale Spear, so with the Dragon Scale Spear, Lin Tian wouldn''t even look at any other Divine Weapons.


    Only Spirit Stones were what Lin Tian needed. The Spiritual Stones contained the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that Lin Tian could directly absorb. When he cultivated, with the help of the Spirit Stones, he could achieve twice the results with half the effort.


    Lin Tian calculated in his heart and threw over a storage ring.


    That elder sister Hua didn''t even look at the storage ring as she said directly towards the outside of the private room, "Xiaolan, come in."


    Lin Tian was startled, but he didn''t understand what that flower lady meant.


    But at this moment, the maid known as Xiao Lan walked in.


    However, the maid was holding a bag in her hands.


    "On the way to the Clear Pavilion, Liu''er told me the reason for Young Noble''s visit, and I already know the reason for it, there are 100 low-grade spirit stones in this bag, enough to buy your storage ring. As for the Young Noble''s business, I still need the approval of the headquarters, I hope that Young Noble does not find it difficult to find a way to help me, but as a big sister, I still need to say that Young Noble''s strength, no matter where you work, will not be too difficult. Also, Young Noble purposely wants to get close to my Clear Pavilion, or should I say that Young Noble is not a spy from Tian Luo Merchant Guild, I just want to help him with something." Sister Hua stared at Lin Tian and said with a faint smile.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he smiled and said: "If I did not know Jiang Liu''er, I would have already left with the storage ring. However, I know Jiang Liu''er, moreover, I like this little brother, so I will give you one more chance. My patience is limited, young lady, you''d better take a look at the things in the storage ring."


    "What else is there to look at?" That flower girl smiled faintly, "Young master, did you pretend not to understand what I just said?"


    "You''re really not going to take a look?" Lin Tian''s gaze instantly turned cold.


    This elder sister Hua originally thought that she had followed Jiang Liu''er here with ill intentions and even thought that he was a spy from Tian Luo Merchant Guild ¡­


    If it wasn''t for Jiang Liu''er, Lin Tian would have already turned hostile, but now that he had given them the chance and they didn''t want it, Lin Tian naturally had nothing else to say.


    Sister Hua saw that Lin Tian''s face was unkind and her heart was already on guard.


    Xiao Lan put down the storage bag and picked up the storage ring, smiling as she said, "Since young master still hasn''t given up, so what if I take the items out from the storage ring? I can make young master give up ¡­"


    As she spoke, Xiao Lan had already poured out the contents of the storage ring.


    "I''m just afraid that this place is too small to fit!" Lin Tian coldly laughed.


    The moment the storage ring fell out, it turned into a colossal monster. It was indeed the corpse of a demonic beast, but that demonic beast ¡­


    "It''s actually a Scarlet Gold Beast!" The moment elder sister Hua saw the demonic beast, she was shocked. This level of demonic beast ¡­


    She did not bother to say anything else as she turned around and walked towards the demonic beast. She wanted to carefully check the level of the demonic beast.


    "How is this possible!" When Sister Hua arrived in front of the golden red beast, she was immediately stunned.


    The beast in front of him was actually a pseudo rank 3 beast that was about to form an inner core!


    Sister Hua took out a dagger from her sleeve and gently sliced at the head of the Scarlet Gold Beast. Instantly, the head of the Scarlet Gold Beast was cut. Clearly, that dagger was not an ordinary one.


    With her head cut open, there was no blood flowing out. On the contrary, Sister Hua reached into the head of the Scarlet Gold Beast and took out a beast core that was glowing with a golden light!


    "He actually formed a demonic core?" Sister Hua was even more astonished. However, she soon realized that the quality of the beast core wasn''t good. Not only that, but there were also some irregularities. It was likely that the golden beast had yet to completely condense the core.


    Demonic beasts and humans were the descendants of dragons.


    According to the legends, the Ancestor Dragon split the heaven and earth, established the universe, exhausted all of its lifespan, and then fell.


    The Qi of the Ancestral Dragon was like the wind and clouds, the sound was like thunder, the left eye was like a sun, the right eye was like a moon, the four limbs were like five mountains, the muscles were like geography, the muscles were like soil, the hair was like stars, the fur was like grass and wood, the bone was metal, the essence was jade, and the sweat was like rain.


    The scales of the Ancestral Dragon became three thousand demonic beasts, the claws and fangs of the Ancestral Dragon transformed into eight hundred barbarian barbarians. Therefore, there was a demon clan ¨C the barbarian race.


    The blood of the Ancestral Dragon transformed into the spirit of heaven and earth, turning into a human. Because of this, humans were called the descendants of dragons.


    And the land where humans lived was also known as the Sky Dragon Continent.


    Therefore, the Barbarian Demons and the humans were both descendants of the dragon race. Therefore, the cultivation methods of the demon beasts were similar to that of the humans.


    The human race was divided into Qi Cultivation, Qi Sea, Jindan Stage, and Star Realm.


    Demonic beasts were also divided into first, second, third and fourth stage.


    Every single cultivation realm of the human race was divided into nine stages.


    There were also different grades of demonic beasts. For example, from the first stage to the ninth stage.


    Therefore, the advancement of demonic beasts was the same as that of human martial cultivators.


    Human Golden Core Realm cultivator, corresponding to a Rank 3 Demonic Beast.


    The so called Aurous Core stage was the aurasea in the Dantian. After it was formed, it would transform the energy of a martial cultivator into Yuan Power.


    If the Aurous Core did not break, then his elemental energy would never run out!


    The same was true for demonic beasts, but the difference was that demonic beasts formed pills in their heads. This was a demonic core!


    The golden red beast in front of him had obviously reached the Core Formation stage. However, it was still slightly lacking compared to the real Level 3 demon beasts. The energy and blood of the real Level 3 demon beasts were incomparably large, and the strength of the demon cores in their heads was limitless. The rules and regulations were complete ¡­


    But even so, it was enough to scare sister Hua.


    Didn''t that stinky brat, Jiang Liu''er, say that he was an ordinary hunter that only hunted Rank 1 Demonic Beasts? Moreover, he didn''t have a fixed home, so even though he was a martial cultivator, he wasn''t strong enough, so Jiang Liu''er specifically asked Big Sister Hua to find him a job ¡­


    But where did he get this Rank 3 beast core from?


    Such a golden red beast was enough to scare sister Hua away.


    But at this time, there was only a ''plop'' sound as the storage ring fell to the ground. It was extremely clear.


    Big Sister Hua and Lin Tian''s gazes both turned to the side and shockingly discovered that the person who spoke was Xiao Lan, who was standing there motionlessly.


    Sister Hua was about to scold Xiaolan, but before she could say anything, she heard a plop. Xiaolan was squatting on the ground.


    "Little Lan, Little Lan ¡­" Sister Hua was shocked. At this moment, Xiao Lan''s face was terrifyingly pale. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. Clearly, she had seen something that had shocked her greatly ¡­


    "Big ¡­ Big Sister Hua, you ¡­" "Look..." Xiao Lan adjusted herself before coming back to her senses. She tremblingly picked up the storage ring and handed it to Big Sister Hua, telling her to check the contents inside as well.


    Big Sister Hua was puzzled, but she still took the storage ring from Xiao Lan. When she took the storage ring, she touched Xiao Lan''s fingertip, feeling a chill down her spine.


    She hesitated as she received the storage ring. With a thought, she started to sense the items within the ring.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss ¡­" Sister Hua immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, "Oh my god, how could this be ¡­"


    She was completely immersed in the storage ring, and could clearly see what was inside.


    This time, he could see it very clearly.


    There were actually at least six or seven demon beasts in the storage ring.


    And that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the six or seven demon beasts were all actually rank two or higher. Besides the rank two seventh rank and the rank two ninth rank, the rest of the demon beasts were actually rank three demon beasts!


    It was a Rank 3 Demonic Beast that was comparable to a human Golden Core Stage cultivator!

 C106

    Sister Hua was completely shocked. This was simply unbelievable. How could this Lin Tian in front of her have a corpse of a demon beast like this?


    Lin Tian faintly smiled. He didn''t even know how many demon beasts he had in his storage ring. On the tenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, there was a rank two or seven demon beast. On the eleventh floor, there was a rank two or nine demon beast.


    The twelfth level, which was the Scarlet Gold Beast in front of him, was a peak rank nine stage two demonic beast. It could also be considered a pseudo Rank Three demonic beast because it was equivalent to a half step golden core that humans possessed.


    The thirteenth floor was a genuine third-level, first-level demonic beast.


    The fourteenth floor was a third level second rank demon beast.


    The fifteenth floor was a third level third level demonic beast.


    The sixteenth floor was a third level fifth rank demon beast.


    With his current strength, even if he were to face a seventh level Qi Hai warrior or a ninth level Qi Hai warrior, he would be able to completely defeat them. Before, when he did not have a powerful talisman skill like the Immortal Soul Piercing Technique, he was able to defeat Lang Wuying, who was at the ninth level of Qi Hai. Now, with the addition of the Immortal Soul Piercing Technique, his battle was simply too easy.


    The twelfth floor, this was the Scarlet Gold Beast. Lin Tian took about fifteen minutes.


    Even on the thirteenth floor, Lin Tian only spent half an hour against a genuine Rank 3 Demonic Beast.


    The fourteenth floor, Lin Tian took about half an hour. The fifteenth floor, took about two hours to reach the sixteenth floor, and Lin Tian took four hours to finish fighting ¡­


    Thus, in the Exquisite Pagoda''s battle, Lin Ming had truly stimulated his potential. This was also the reason why he had absorbed nearly a thousandth of the dragon blood in the Exquisite Pagoda.


    Of course, Lin Tian had to work so hard to continuously fight so many battles, but in the end, the Spirit Demon beast was killed by Lin Tian. Of course, Lin Tian was impolite and took them all, and after that, when Lin Tian was training his Sky Collapsing Palm in the Green Cliff Mountain, he accidentally killed two rank 3 Spirit Beasts ¡­ ¡­.


    Calculating it this way, in Lin Tian''s storage ring, other than the two Rank 2 Demonic Beasts and the Scarlet Gold Beast in front of him, there were also six Rank 3 Demonic Beasts.


    These demonic beasts ranged from Class 1 to Class 5. The strongest giant elephant was a Class 5 demonic beast.


    With so many high-level demon beasts, it was indeed enough to scare Sister Hua.


    Big Sister Hua was still unable to recover from her shock even after a long time. The shock Lin Tian gave her was too big. For a moment, she found it hard to accept.


    "How is this possible, how is this possible?" Sister Hua kept repeating these words.


    "What are you guys doing inside? Why haven''t you come out for so long ¡­" At this moment, Jiang Liu''er suddenly rushed in.


    However, as soon as he entered, he was immediately attracted by the golden red beast''s gaze.


    "There is such a Class 1 Demonic Beast?" Jiang Liu''er''s interest was piqued, but when he saw the golden beast core in Sister Hua''s hand, Jiang Liu''er''s eyes were wide open as he stared at the beast core in a daze: "My god, this is ¡­ this is a rank 3 beast?"


    Jiang Liu''er was raised by Big Sister Hua, so she naturally understood that the pure gold beast in front of her was a Rank 3 Demonic Beast.


    Jiang Liu''er circled around the Golden Beast a few times before her gaze landed on Lin Tian. She then circled around Lin Tian a few times before stopping.


    "Brother Tian, is this the Rank 1 Demonic Beast you were talking about?" Jiang Liu''er asked suspiciously.


    "I, I didn''t say that I was here to sell Class 1 Demonic Beasts. At that time, you didn''t ask me ¡­" Lin Tian innocently replied.


    "Hmm?" Jiang Liu''er looked at Lin Tian''s innocent face and was stunned for a moment. But after thinking back carefully, Lin Tian did not say that he wanted to sell a stage one demon beast.


    Jiang Liu''er smacked her head and then lightly slapped herself twice: "To make you look down on others with your dog eyes, to make you look down on others with your dog eyes!"


    Lin Tian was startled, but immediately reacted. He pulled Jiang Liu''er''s hand and said with a laugh: "This is just a small oversight on your part. Don''t worry, don''t worry ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s face was full of smiles. This Jiang Liu''er was an amazing person and was a bit foolish and adorable.


    Jiang Liu''er did not really want to beat him up, his goal was to show Lin Tian, Lin Tian gave him the steps down, so he naturally stopped and asked: "Brother Tian, where did you get that demon beast? Looking at your strength, it doesn''t seem like you can kill Rank 3 demon beasts ¡­."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian stared blankly. This, he was actually looked down upon by a little brat?


    However, when Jiang Liu''er asked this question, Big Sister Hua and that Xiao Lan''s gaze both turned towards Lin Tian. They also wanted to ask this question ¡­


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian''s face was full of helplessness, but after hesitating for a bit, he suddenly thought of something: "I, I picked it up ¡­."


    "Picked it up, picked it up?" Jiang Liu''er''s jaw dropped, his face full of disbelief as he looked at Lin Tian: "You lied to me. Brother Tian, quickly tell me the truth ¡­ ¡­"


    Big Sister Hua and Xiaolan also shook their heads, obviously not believing him.


    "This is real!" Lin Tian smiled and then made up a story: "I once hunted in the mountains, and on the way back, I suddenly saw a group of experts fighting in the air. The battle between these experts caused the panic of countless of demon beasts, and the demon beasts in the mountains all rushed out, fleeing in all directions, those experts were simply too strong, and when their strength was spread out, they killed countless demon beasts.


    When Lin Tian told the story, it was actually so vivid and colorful that Jiang Liu''er listened as if she was drunk on listening. Even elder sister Hua also believed that it was true.


    The main reason was that they subconsciously felt that with Lin Tian''s strength, it was impossible to kill Rank 3 Demonic Beasts. This preconceived impression made them feel that Lin Tian''s explanation was reasonable.


    Jiang Liu''er smacked her lips and said grudgingly: "My dear mother, why am I not so lucky? Brother Tian, your luck is too good, I''ll go hunting with you next time ¡­"


    "Sure." Lin Tian laughed.


    Moreover, Lin Tian was afraid that if he spoke the truth, he and Jiang Liu''er would feel a sense of distance. Right now, the feeling was very good, Jiang Liu''er was also very fond of him, but he still had to make a friend. If he could make up a story, then everyone would be happy, why not?


    At this moment, Sister Hua had regained her composure.


    You guys didn''t know, Tian Luo Merchant Guild''s group of idiots actually refused Brother Tian, even if they regret it now, it''s too late. I also heard that a pill refiner from Tian Luo Merchant Guild wants to refine a pill, but he needs a Rank 3 beast''s beast core as a guide, so they don''t want the beast core that Brother Tian sent to them, but it would be too easy for us ¡­ Jiang Liu''er laughed out loud and winked at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s gaze turned towards Sister Hua: "It''s just that, your Sister Hua doesn''t seem to want it ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s words had a profound meaning. That Sister Hua naturally knew that Lin Tian was talking about what happened just now.


    Jiang Liu''er immediately came to the side of Big Sister Hua and gently shook her arm: "Big Sister Hua, you are so stupid. You don''t want this demonic beast?"


    Sister Hua''s face immediately turned red. Just now when he had humiliated Lin Tian, he probably wanted to take revenge. That was why he purposely said those words.


    He turned his head to look at Lin Tian, then walked in front of Lin Tian and gave himself a tight slap, then faced Lin Tian Dao: "Tian ge, this is all my fault. On the road, I told Big Sister Hua that you came to sell a Rank 1 Demonic Beast earlier, so if Big Sister Hua misunderstood you, don''t be angry, this is all my, Jiang Liu''s fault. I, Jiang Liu''er, do my work, all by myself, Tian brother, if you want to beat me up, I''ll continue to beg you to sell this Demonic Beast to our Clear Flower Pavilion, especially needing this chance for her contribution, otherwise she''ll be ¡­"


    "Jiang Liu''er, shut up!" At this moment, Sister Hua''s face was as cold as frost as she scolded.


    Lin Tian was slightly shocked, but soon after, he heard some other meaning from Jiang Liu''er''s words.


    Presumably, this elder sister Hua also has some difficulties?


    "A natural bewitching body is a disaster." At this moment, Horned Demon spoke up from within the Divine Palace, "Charm body is naturally an outstanding furnace. Cultivating with her, Yin and Yang, is more useful than consuming pills, and her cultivation speed will also increase greatly. Even if she is in trouble, it will still be the calamity to her body ¡­"


    He immediately pulled Jiang Liu''er along, and reproached: "What are you doing, how could I blame you. You are my little brother, and since you called me Brother Tian, then I am your brother. I naturally want to sell this demon beast to the Clear Pavilion, and for you, brother will definitely give you face."


    "Really?" Jiang Liu''er looked towards Lin Tian.


    "Of course." Lin Tian smiled and added: "But, the price still needs to be fair."


    "Don''t worry, the price of our Qing Xuan Hall has always been fair." Jiang Liu''er pursed her lips into a smile and then covered her face. "That slap just now was really painful ¡­"


    Lin Tian laughed loudly: "You brat, you''re just a small fry, yet you have quite a lot of evil ideas. Don''t you know that brother Tian will be soft-hearted ¡­?"


    "Heh heh." Jiang Liu''er smiled and said to Xiao Lan beside her, "Sister Xiao Lan, go and appraise it. Don''t just stand there ¡­"


    "Oh, oh." Xiao Lan came back to her senses and walked out.


    "Jiang Liu''er, you go out as well." At this moment, Big Sister Hua suddenly raised her head and said to Jiang Liu''er.


    "Oh." Jiang Liu''er looked at Sister Hua''s unsightly expression and didn''t dare to ask any further questions, but when she arrived in front of Lin Tian, she kept on making a begging expression. Her meaning was clear, she wanted Lin Tian not to be angry with Sister Hua ¡­


    Lin Tian nodded his head and made a hand gesture of relief. Jiang Liu''er nodded her head and directly walked out of the private room. In the entire private room, only Lin Tian and that Sister Hua were left.

 C107

    "Young master, please explain your purpose in coming here." The flower girl had already returned to her former state and asked Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly froze, but then immediately reacted. This flower girl still had doubts about him.


    However, Lin Tian was too lazy to explain to her. He turned around and was about to leave, but his voice was cold: "Please get rid of the things I want. I said it already, this is all for Jiang Liu''er''s sake.


    Finished speaking, Lin Tian directly walked out of the private room.


    However, that flower girl laughed coldly, "I don''t care who you are, but if you dare to hurt Jiang Liu''er, I will make you pay the price!"


    In the next moment, his figure suddenly appeared in front of that flower girl: "You dare threaten me? To tell you the truth, I hate it when people threaten me the most. If it wasn''t for the fact that you are a woman, with my claws, you would already be a dead person ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s right hand turned into a claw and stopped in front of elder sister Hua''s neck. If Lin Tian had used a claw just now, elder sister Hua would have truly turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye.


    Big Sister Hua was also shocked. She also didn''t think that Lin Tian would actually have such a fast speed.


    But her face didn''t change and she stared straight at Lin Tian.


    At this moment, her eyes had also gradually turned into an extremely alluring red color, looking extremely terrifying.


    "Charm?" Lin Tian slightly smiled. His gaze was not fearful at all, and was instead met with Sister Hua''s gaze.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were incomparably clear, as if he wasn''t affected by the enchanting power at all. This made the elder sister Hua feel incredulous, how, how was this possible, he had just displayed the enchanting power, but why didn''t Lin Tian have any reaction?


    It had to be known that it was not that she had never encountered such a situation before, but every time he encountered such a situation, he would subconsciously unleash his seductive power. Any man that was bewitched by her would be mesmerized, be bewitched, and in the end, become the victor.


    "Miss Hua''s bewitching technique is unparalleled in this world, but to me, it is of no use." Lin Tian faintly smiled. From between the brows of the divine soul in the Divine Mansion, the Ancient Dragon Rune shone brilliantly, causing him to not be affected by the enchanting power at all.


    Not only that, but Lin Tian also used a part of his mental energy to attack the flower girl''s sea of consciousness. He did not use the spirit soul pierce, because the flower elder sister was, after all, related to Jiang Liu''er, so if the spirit soul pierce was used, it would very likely injure her, but he still had to discipline her a little. This mental energy attack was aimed at her sea of consciousness, so she would not be injured, but she would definitely feel uncomfortable for a while.


    Sure enough, the spiritual force attacked Big Sister Hua''s sea of consciousness. Instantly, her face became incomparably pale.


    Lin Tian laughed coldly, but still said: "Miss Hua, I hope you do not treat me as a bad person. Also, I sincerely consider Jiang Liu''er as a friend, I respect you as her elder sister, this time forget about it, I also do not want Jiang Liu''er to be troubled, but if there is a next time, if you continue to be so aggressive, don''t blame me for being merciless!"


    Finished speaking, Lin Tian turned his head and walked out of the private room. Outside of the private room was the main hall of the Clear Pavilion. As soon as Lin Tian walked out, everyone''s gazes immediately gathered on him.


    Jiang Liu''er walked up to Lin Tian with a face full of concern and asked: "How is it, Big Sister Hua, she didn''t make things difficult for you right ¡­ ¡­"


    Jiang Liu''er blamed herself in her heart. She knew that if he hadn''t told her in advance, the current situation wouldn''t have happened.


    "How could that be? I have a good chat with your sister Hua. Oh right, Miss Lan, what do I want?" Lin Tian comforted Jiang Liu''er before turning his gaze towards Xiao Lan.


    "Oh, oh, everything is ready." Xiao Lan seemed to have awoken from a dream, and handed the storage bag in her hand to Lin Tian: "Rank two seventh rank demon beasts, worth five hundred high grade spirit stones, Rank two ninth grade demon beasts, worth eight hundred high grade spirit stones, those Rank three demon beasts, are all worth more than one thousand and five hundred high grade spirit stones. Young master, this is already the best price my Clear Pavilion can offer, I don''t know ¡­"


    Lin Tian knit his brows. Honestly speaking, this price was fair, but it was still far from Lin Tian''s expectations.


    Previously, he had participated in an auction in the Clear Pavilion in the Heavenly Thunder City. During that auction, Lin Tian remembered that there was also a Rank Three demon beast, a Dual Winged Tiger Demon, and that the auction was not about the corpse of the Dual Winged Tiger Demon, but rather the egg of the Dual Winged Tiger Demon. If Lin Tian remembered correctly, the egg of the Twin Winged Tiger Demon was ultimately auctioned for one thousand and five hundred spirit stones.


    These were real Class 3 Magical Beasts, but they were only worth a thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones?


    Seeing Lin Tian frown, Xiao Lan was also a bit scared. She naturally knew that this was a big deal, but the price of these demon beast corpses was also like that. She had completely estimated it based on the market price of the Clear Pavilion.


    "Ten more low-grade spirit crystals." At this moment, Big Sister Hua''s voice suddenly came from the private room.


    While speaking, Sister Hua had already walked out from the private room, "According to the market price, such a large group of high level beasts is indeed too low."


    Sister Hua''s face had already regained its color, it was completely unable to see that she was affected by Lin Tian''s mental strength just now.


    Ten low-grade spirit crystals?


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he quickly recovered. Martial cultivation, spirit stones, and spirit crystals were all extremely important to martial artists.


    Of course, Spirit Crystals were much more valuable than Spirit Stones. One could tell from the name alone that Spirit Stones were still a stone, it just contained the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.


    However, the Spirit Crystal was different. The Spirit Crystal was a crystal formed when the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had reached a certain degree of density.


    In other words, the spirit crystal was made from spirit energy. Of course, the spirit crystal contained a lot of impurities.


    However, the amount of spirit energy contained within was much greater than spirit stones.


    Spirit stones were divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. One top grade spirit stone was equivalent to ten high grade spirit stones and one high grade spirit stone was equivalent to ten mid grade spirit stones.


    Spirit Crystals were the same method of conversion. In other words, a single low rank spirit crystal was equivalent to ten top grade spirit stones and a hundred high grade spirit stones.


    Ten low-grade spirit crystals was naturally equivalent to a thousand high-grade spirit stones.


    Although this could be done, the value of ten low-rank soul crystals was far more than one thousand high-rank soul stones. This was because the value of a spirit crystal was far more than the value of a spirit stone.


    In this way, it was equivalent to giving away these ten spirit crystals. If this was the case, then this would be pretty good.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly nodded his head. He then took the spirit stones from Xiao Lan''s hands. At the same time, elder sister Hua took out ten spirit crystals from her storage ring and gave it to Lin Tian.


    "I hope what you said is true. Please don''t hurt Rivers, he''s still just a child." Sister Hua''s voice was barely audible, and only the two of them could hear her.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled, then he moved close to Sister Hua''s ear and softly said: "Relax."


    Receiving the items, Lin Tian did not stay any longer. He directly turned to Jiang Liu''er and said: "Haha, little brother, let''s go. Big brother is rich, I''ll take you to eat something delicious."


    When Jiang Liu''er heard that they were going to eat good food, she immediately became happy. His eyes lit up as he said: "Good, good, good. I haven''t been to Wangjiang Restaurant for a long time. There, the most delicious food is inside!"


    "Alright, let''s go to Wang Jiang Lou!" Lin Tian pulled Jiang Liu''er along and left, never turning back to look at Sister Hua again.


    Sister Hua felt that her ears were burning. She meaningfully looked at Lin Tian and then indifferently said to the servant girl beside her: "Investigate him."


    Lin Tian naturally did not know what Big Sister Hua wanted to do. He and Jiang Liu''er had already ridden their qilin horses out of the western city.


    The western part of the city was not bustling at all. At the very least, it was considered rather remote compared to the eastern part of the city.


    In the east side of the city, there was the biggest Chamber of Commerce, the Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce, the biggest restaurant, River Gazing House, and the most bustling east side city.


    The east side of the city was also the most crowded and crowded.


    Lin Tian had previously said that he needed a small amount of gold coins and a large amount of spirit stones. Therefore, Xiao Lan had prepared a lot of spirit stones, but she had also prepared quite a few gold coins, which was probably a gift. Lin Tian didn''t really need money, as gold coins were like dirt to him, so he naturally wouldn''t be stingy.


    The two of them rode their qilin horses at full speed, and before long, they arrived at the eastern city.


    This Qilin horse''s speed was indeed fast. If it wasn''t for Jiang Liu`er''s horse, Lin Tian would have already taken it for himself.


    "Waiter, take good care of the Qilin horse. If you do not serve me then don''t even think about rewarding me. I will look for trouble with you then!" Jiang Liu''er passed the reins to the waiter in a noble manner.


    "Masters, please be at ease. Please take your seat." The waiter greeted and called out to the inner hall of the restaurant, "Two guests, first class."


    Lin Tian was startled. Just as he was about to ask, he was pulled into River Gazing Pavilion by Jiang Liu''er. "The first tier is the private room upstairs."


    Jiang Liu''er explained. He naturally knew what Lin Tian wanted to ask, but he had just asked the waiter what a first class seat was after showing off his might. Then, with his identity as a rich young master, would he still be able to continue pretending?


    Lin Tian thought for a moment and then laughed. Let him go, this Jiang Liu''er still had a youthful temperament.


    The first floor was too noisy, while the second floor was quite quiet. Moreover, the second floor was a private room with a screen blocking the view, so the two of them sat in a seat close to the window. Through the window, they could see the biggest moat in Qingzhou City, the Azure Dragon River.


    The name River Gazing Pavilion naturally gained its name because it was able to see the Qing Long River.


    It was Lin Tian''s first time here, so he relied entirely on Jiang Liu''er to order. Looking into the distance, he could see the Azure Province Institute.


    Qingzhou Academy was located in the outskirts of Qingzhou City. Behind it, there was an endless mountain range.


    The Qingzhou School was built on the side of a mountain and a river. It had a unique and grand atmosphere.


    "Have you heard? The second round of Qingzhou Academy''s selection is already over. Today is the day the rankings are released. I wonder which geniuses will be able to enter the third round of selection ¡­"


    Just at this moment, the business of the person sitting next to him suddenly reached Lin Tian''s ears.

 C108

    Lin Tian''s eyes immediately narrowed. He didn''t think that the second round of the preliminaries would actually already be over.


    Lin Tian knew that the first round was to send various instructors to various cities under the rule of the Azure Province to select talents. The cultivation of the Tian Luo Kingdom was widespread, so there were many academies. The Azure Province was also a large region, so this task had already begun two to three months ago.


    The local academies would recommend it, and after that, the teachers of the Azure Province Academy would personally select it.


    Those that passed the selection naturally meant that they passed the first round of selection and could come to the Azure Province to participate in the second round.


    However, Xiao Lin had come to kill Lin Tian, and in order to not anger the Second Prince, he had also been able to protect Lin Tian. Xiao Yunhai could only beg Lin Tian''s grandteacher, the current headmaster of the Azure Province, Gu Qingyuan, to allow Elder Zhang to bring Lin Tian to the Exquisite Pagoda and have him test Lin Tian''s potential. To be honest, this was the first time the people of the Azure Province had brought the Exquisite Pagoda to specifically find a student in the Exquisite Pagoda.


    However, a month had already passed since Lin Tian started the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial. At that time, all the students who had passed the first round of selection were also rushing to the Cyan Plains. By now, their calculations should have been correct, and it was quite normal for the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial to be over.


    However, Lin Tian did not know about this matter ¡­ ¡­


    "Yes, I think that after our meal, we will be able to take a look at the rankings. I heard that there are quite a few outstanding individuals in the Exquisite Pagoda, and a few of them were even evaluated as seed students. They are almost certain to pass the third round of selection, and will even be able to enter the inner courtyard in the future, or even leave their names on the Proclamation of Azure Sky!" Another person in the neighboring seat also chimed in.


    Separated by the screen, although Lin Tian couldn''t clearly see the people who spoke, he could sense that there were about four or five people, all around the third level of the Qi Hai realm.


    "Which brother is spying on us?" Lin Tian had only just retracted his Spiritual Force and unexpectedly, someone had already noticed it.


    Lin Tian was surprised for a moment. He hadn''t thought that those people''s perception was not weak either. He had only checked for a bit and was already discovered by them ¡­


    Lin Tian was just about to speak when the screen at the side suddenly opened. From within the screen, a young noble walked out with a faint smile and said: "I''m being reckless, please do not take offense. It''s just that I heard from my brothers that something about the announcement was announced just now, so I''m a bit curious.


    There was actually someone spying on them. However, Lin Tian was still a little curious, this Young Master had just spied on them and hid his mental strength very well, he actually did not notice, could it be that he was also a Symbol Master?


    Just as Lin Tian was about to release his mental energy to investigate, a voice transmitted into his ears: "I presume you must be a Symbol Master, interesting, but it''s best if you don''t use your mental energy to find out my strength, otherwise, it is very possible that you might accidentally injure me, that won''t be good ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian was startled, but soon realized that this person was undoubtedly a Symbol Master. He had just discovered him!


    From this point of view, the young master in front of him had a strength that was even stronger than his. It was because this young master had discovered him, but he did not discover this young master ¡­


    "Don''t take him too seriously ¡­" At this moment, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace spoke again, "He has a secret treasure on him, it is very normal for him to sense you, and since that secret treasure is covering his aura, you naturally cannot sense it, but what he said is right, you shouldn''t easily investigate him, otherwise you might be affected by the backlash from that secret treasure on his body ¡­"


    Lin Tian suddenly understood. No wonder, he also said that his own mental energy was already abnormal. If this young master''s mental energy was stronger than his, then to what extent would the demon''s be? It was unimaginable...


    At this moment, the few people sitting next to her also opened the screen and smiled: "It''s alright. Since you''re curious, let me explain ¡­"


    The young master smiled and said, "I couldn''t wish for more!"


    With that, the young master took out a purse from his bosom and threw it to the waiter, saying, "I will pay for these three tables. Also, give me ten pots of the best Bamboo Leaf Green, and the rest will be your reward!"


    The waiter weighed the money in his hand and immediately smiled brightly. He knew that the money in the bag in his hand was at least 100 gold coins, and the money from the three tables of food in total was only dozens of gold coins, and even if it was ten jars of the best bamboo leaf cyan, it would only be 30 gold coins, or no more than 90 gold coins. In other words, just from the reward alone, he would be able to receive nearly 10 gold coins, and after a year of hard work, he could only earn a maximum of 20 gold coins.


    When Lin Tian heard that the young master said three tables worth of money, he was surprised for a moment, but then he understood that the young master had also paid for his food.


    Lin Tian also opened the screen and smiled: "Many thanks, brother ¡­ ¡­"


    The young master faintly smiled and said, "Let''s be friends."


    When the few men sitting next to them heard that someone was paying for them, their smiles became a bit wider. Then, they smiled and said, "Since that''s the case, many thanks, Young Master."


    "You have to rely on your friends to travel. Why are you being so courteous?" That Young Master cupped his fists and said, "Please explain the matter of the announcement just now!"


    Those people naturally got excited after receiving such benefits from the young master.


    A burly man said, "Young Master, I presume this is your first time in the Azure Province and you don''t know much about the Azure Province Academy."


    The young master nodded and then said, "That''s right. To be honest, I''m actually here to participate in the selection of the Azure Province Academy. However, based on what everyone said, I haven''t made it to the second round of the selection, right?"


    "It''s too late for the second round of selection." The other burly man answered.


    Following that, the few of them told this young master a lot of things. They were all about the selection process of the Azure Province. Lin Tian knew about this, so he only quietly listened and did not interrupt.


    "However, of course, the three rounds of selection is only one of the methods. Other than that, there are other ways to enter the Azure Province Academy."


    "What are the other methods?" The young master was immediately interested.


    "For example, if Young Master has a deep background and there is someone you''re familiar with in the Azure Province Academy, you can directly enter without going through three rounds of selection." Someone answered.


    "Or maybe Young Master has some talent, or maybe has some sort of Spiritual Body, or maybe the Azure Province Academy will make an exception for the selection." Another person added.


    "So that''s how it is." The young master nodded his head and said, "My fellow brothers, let''s talk about the announcement of the results."


    "Releasing the rankings is really easy." A burly man laughed and said, "For the second round of the selection, let''s call it the Exquisite Pagoda Exquisite Pagoda Trial. The Exquisite Pagoda Trial will test the student''s potential!"


    "The Exquisite Pagoda has a total of eighteen floors. The final potential is to see how many floors you can reach in the Exquisite Pagoda. The instructors responsible for selecting the examiners of the Qingzhou School will determine your final level according to the number of floors you will reach." A large man slowly approached.


    Lin Tian and that Young Master listened in amazement. Honestly speaking, Lin Tian did not know about this.


    "The so-called rank determination is based on your potential. For example, the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial. The students who reach the seventh floor will have the qualifications to enter the third round of selection. Thus, those who reach the seventh floor can be ranked as first."


    "The ninth floor is yet another barrier. Those who have reached the ninth floor or above can be deemed to have reached the second floor."


    "Above the twelfth floor is yet another threshold. It can be called a level three."


    "A student who has reached the twelfth layer and is also a third-level student already represents their talent and strength."


    Those who have reached level fourteen are called seed students, or seed level. As for those who are able to reach level fourteen, they are strength, talent, luck, and one out of ten thousand will be the future hope of the Azure Province.


    In general, reaching the seed level means that passing the third round of the selection wouldn''t be a difficult task, and it would also be carefully nurtured by the Azure Province Academy. Later on, one would become an inner disciple of the Azure Province Academy, even becoming a member of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, participating in the competition among the students of the Tian Luo Five Great Academies, and becoming a member of the Hidden Dragon Rank wouldn''t be impossible.


    The few big guys were talking at once, but their words were very clear.


    Those large men looked extremely majestic, as if they were mercenaries.


    Lin Tian and that young master repeatedly nodded their heads. Even Lin Tian had a new understanding of the Azure Province''s school selection.


    That young master hadn''t heard enough and couldn''t help but ask again, "Then, what about the so-called Proclamation of Azure Sky and the Hidden Dragon Rank?"


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky is the ranking board for all the students of the Azure Province Academy, because the name of the school itself is called the Clear Sky School, and it is derived from the meaning of ''stepping on the Azure Sky''. This list contains the 100 strongest students of the Azure Province Academy, and these students are the pride of the school, as well as representing the strength of the school.


    The Hidden Dragon Rank is the number one rank in the Tian Luo Rank, Tian Luo Kingdom''s top five academies, and this Hidden Dragon Rank is to record the students who are ranked in the top one hundred of the top five academies. It can be said that the rank on the Hidden Dragon Rank is to control the existence of Tian Luo Kingdom, the Hidden Dragon Rank.


    The young master was fascinated by her words, his face flushing red. Coincidentally, the waiter had already brought the wine over, and the young master laughed loudly: "Drink, drink."


    A few people chatted while Lin Tian smiled back, but he had a plan in his heart.

 C109

    Previously, he only knew that if he wanted to enter the Azure Continent Academy, he would have to go through three rounds of preliminaries, but he didn''t know that there were still so many things he needed to pay attention to.


    Now that he knew all of this, he had a deeper understanding of the Azure Province.


    But after knowing all this, Lin Tian was also a bit curious. If he rushed up to the fourteenth floor then he would be ranked as a seed. Then he would completely clear, but he didn''t know what level he would be evaluated at.


    Just as Lin Tian was planning in his mind, the large man opposite him suddenly asked: "Are the two gongzis going to the Azure Province to participate in the selection?"


    The young nobleman nodded slightly and said, "Yes."


    Finished speaking, that Young Master''s gaze turned towards Lin Tian, as if he had just asked Lin Tian.


    Only now did Lin Tian recover his wits and answer: "It''s actually like that."


    "How about this, we''ll go and take a look at the Golden Ranking together in a while. It should be about time to calculate the time." The large man said to the two with a smile.


    Lin Tian looked at that Young Master and smiled: "If that''s the case, then it can''t be any better."


    On the way, Lin Tian and the others introduced themselves to each other. They knew who the young master was, that he was actually a rich young master, and was not from the Azure Province. His name was Fang Xing.


    As for the other big men, they were all people from a mercenary group in the Azure Province, and they were all small leaders.


    Lin Tian also introduced himself, but it was only half true and half false. After all, Jiang Liu''er was still by Lin Tian''s side. However, Lin Tian truthfully said his name.


    The day that the Qingzhou School releases the rankings could be considered as a grand occasion in the eastern city of Qingzhou. Within a short period of time, it had already attracted the attention of countless people.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the Azure Province, there were already countless people gathered there. They were all anxiously waiting for the final announcement of the Azure Province Academy''s announcement.


    After an unknown amount of time, a teacher finally walked out from within the Azure Province Academy. The crowd immediately became excited.


    Lin Tian looked around and discovered that there were a few young students. It seemed like all of them were geniuses that had participated in the second round. Some of these students were happy, some were worried, and all of their expressions were clear at a glance.


    "Everyone, I''ve waited for a long time!" That instructor''s voice was thick as he smiled and said to the crowd, "I know everyone''s purpose. Therefore, I shall not waste my time and directly release the Golden Ranking."


    After he finished speaking, the students of Clear Cloud Academy directly opened the rankings list.


    The leaderboard was created by the Golden Thread Tower, and it appeared to be glittering with golden light. Therefore, the name of this leaderboard was also called the Golden Ranking, and the students that could enter the third round were all ranked by the Golden Thread Tower.


    As the golden ranking opened, the dragon aura on it began to swirl. Soon, names began to appear one by one.


    "Open Golden Ranking!" "Ring the bell!" The teacher in charge of the list suddenly shouted.


    At this moment, a series of deep and serene sounds of bells rang out within the Greencloud Institute, resounding throughout the entire Qingzhou City.


    "Golden Ranking, rank 1 disciple. Accepted 123rd place. Enter the third round of the Green Cloud preliminaries!" The instructor shouted loudly.


    On the Golden Ranking, the dragon aura immediately twined around and formed many names.


    At the top of the Golden Ranking, a large "1" had suddenly appeared. This meant that he had passed the Exquisite Pagoda trial and had been awarded a rank 1 disciple.


    A disciple of the first rank was a threshold, which meant that he had passed the seventh floor.


    Following the appearance of the name, the audience burst into cheers, "I did it, I did it, I am a level one disciple! I am a disciple of the first rank! "


    "I''ve also passed, I can also participate in the third round of the Clear Sky Academy''s survival training ¡­"


    Lin Tian glanced over. The high school students were elated, and their heads were hung low in disappointment ¡­


    "Golden Ranking, rank 2 disciple. Accepts 77 students and enters the third round of the Clear Sky Trials!" The instructor shouted again.


    As the instructor yelled out, the dragon Qi on the Golden Ranking disappeared once more, and the word "one" changed to "two". As the instructor shouted, the dragon Qi disappeared once again, and the word "one" changed to "two" on the Golden Ranking.


    The first nine floors of the Exquisite Pagoda simulated the challengers. The ninth floor was an existence that was a bit stronger than the challenger in every aspect. The goal was to test the heart of the challenger, and that was the heart of martial arts.


    For a practitioner with a firm heart of martial arts, passing the first nine levels wasn''t too difficult. But for those with a weak heart of martial arts, passing the first nine levels was impossible.


    So, a rank 2 disciple was quite difficult. An existence that could reach rank 2 was the genius student of every city in the Azure Province.


    "Golden Ranking, rank 3 disciple. Fifty-four students will be accepted into the competition. As a key student, you can enter the third round of the Qingyun Trials!" The instructor shouted again.


    "A level three disciple." After that, his gaze swept over the crowd. The surrounding people did not make any noise, but from their expressions, it was already possible to guess that those people had entered the range of a level three disciple.


    "As expected, now I know the difference." Lin Tian sighed. A level one disciple was still too young. Being evaluated as a level one already made him feel happy as if he had entered the academy, but a level three disciple had already achieved a level that could not hide his joy and anger ¡­


    "Golden Ranking, rank 4 disciple. Accept students at rank 31. You are a seeded student." The instructor shouted once more.


    At this moment, the Dragon Qi was surging on the Golden Ranking, revealing the names of the thirty-one contestants.


    At this moment, the instructor was also smiling as he looked at the crowd, and then he said, "Everyone, these thirty-one people are the top talents after my Azure Province, and are also the disciples that my Clear Cloud Academy will focus on nurturing next."


    When these words were said, everyone looked at the thirty-one names enviously.


    Lin Tian also glanced over it, but he didn''t discover his name.


    Honestly speaking, Lin Tian did not know whether his name would be on the leaderboard or not. According to common sense, it should have his name, and the so called seeded contestant was a student that had made it to the 14th floor and above.


    This kind of student had limitless potential, and the Clear Cloud Academy would also focus on nurturing him. He had reached the 18th step. Although he had done it alone, it still met the criteria of being a seeded student.


    But strangely, there was no such thing. Among the thirty-one names of these students, there was no Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian did not think too much about it. He had rushed to the 18th floor, which could be said to be unprecedented, so he was not worried about anything. To him, entering the third round of the Clear Sky Academy selection was a guaranteed matter.


    But now that the list of seed students had been released, there was no sign of him. Normally speaking, after releasing the seed students, the matter of releasing the Golden Ranking would be considered over, and as the seed students continued to want to leave, Lin Tian also prepared to pull Jiang Liu''er away from this place. After all, there was no longer a need to stay here.


    However, the teacher had no intention of leaving. Instead, he opened his mouth once again and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. The Golden Ranking is not finished yet. There is still a list of names on this seeded participant''s name ¡­"


    "How is this possible?" Everyone shouted out in disbelief. They had always placed after the seed students, in other words, the seed students were the most outstanding disciples in the Exquisite Pagoda.


    But now, there was actually someone stronger than the seed students!


    Lin Tian''s gaze slightly froze and he immediately stopped walking. He also didn''t expect that this year there would be some changes to the rules.


    "Continue to publish it." The instructor spoke again, "The Golden Ranking, level 5 student. Accepting seven students as students of the Hidden Dragon Institute, you will enter the third round of the Clear Sky Trials!"


    "Level 5 student?" Some people revealed an expression of disbelief.


    "To think that such a terrifying student would appear this year!" someone exclaimed in shock.


    "Clear Cloud Academy is really flourishing." Some people said excitedly.


    Level 5. This was a new level.


    In the past, rank 4 was already considered the strongest rank. However, they didn''t expect that this year would be even more terrifying when it came to rank 5 students ¡­


    "A student of the Hidden Dragon Institute!" Lin Tian was also somewhat shocked. He already knew what the Hidden Dragon Ranking was, so he naturally knew that this Hidden Dragon student should be referring to the existence that would have the chance to become a student of the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the future ¡­


    Those were the top students of the Five Great Academies ¡­


    The number "four" on the Golden Ranking had once again changed. The number "four" had already changed to "five"!


    Not long after, the dragon aura on the Golden Ranking started to revolve unceasingly. Not long after, faint names started to appear one by one.


    Not long later, the seven names were carved on the Golden Ranking.


    Lin Tian looked over. At this moment, he actually discovered that on the gold ranking board, there was a very familiar name, Gu Yan''er!


    Upon seeing this name, Lin Tian was initially surprised, but soon recovered. Back in the Heavenly Thunder City, it was this Gu Yan''er who had given him the egg. Furthermore, Lin Tian had even used his own blood to turn it into a pill to suppress the poison that Gu Yan''er originally had no control over.


    But Lin Tian was surprised for a bit and then recovered his calm. After all, Gu Yan''er had a natural poison body. Being able to enter the Golden Ranking wasn''t anything strange.


    It had to be known that Lin Tian had heard those few big men say before that if it was some sort of heavenly creature, they could also directly enter the Clear Sky Academy.


    A natural poison body was naturally one of the innate spirit bodies.


    Back then, Ling Tianlie had even specially given Gu Yan''er a token, saying that he wanted her to look for Ling Tianlie. There was a powerful poison master within the Greencloud Institute.


    But unfortunately, Lin Tian still did not see his name.


    "Even a rank 5 student, a Hidden Dragon student, doesn''t have me. It seems that I am indeed a unique existence ¡­"


    However, at this moment, the instructor spoke once again, "Everyone, this year, another level 6 student has appeared!"


    "Level 6 student?" Everyone''s face was filled with incredulity as they stared at the instructor.


    The appearance of a level 5 student was already unimaginable, but now, another level 6 student had appeared?


    How was this possible?

 C110

    Everyone''s eyes were focused on the instructor. To them, this year''s surprise and shock was like a loop in which a level 6 student would still have a level 6 student?


    The fourth rank students had passed the fourteenth floor and were known as the seed students. Then, what level had the fifth rank disciples reached in the Exquisite Pagoda trials?


    Since a rank 5 student was called a student of the Hidden Dragon Institute, then why was a rank 6 student called such?


    At this moment, the instructor had already spoken, "Golden Ranking, rank 6 student. Accepting a disciple. Entering the third round of the Clear Cloud Academy''s preliminaries, you shall be a Heaven''s Pride!"


    "Heaven''s Pride!" Someone exclaimed in disbelief. It was a Heaven''s Pride! Someone was called a Heaven''s Pride! A Heaven''s Pride!


    At this moment, the character on the Golden Ranking had also changed from "Five" to "Six"!


    The dragon aura churned, but in the end, it was only a name.


    "Lin Tian!"


    Only two words were written on it.


    However, everyone could not help but utter this name.


    "Lin Tian?" The big fellow who had been drinking with Lin Tian and Fang Xing earlier said with a smile, "Brother Lin Tian, this Level 6 student seems to have the same name as you!"


    Just as they were about to turn around and look at Lin Tian, they didn''t see Lin Tian. It was unknown when, but Lin Tian had already disappeared without a trace. In the crowd, Lin Tian was also nowhere to be seen.


    Those big guys immediately sobered up, their hearts suddenly jumped. Could it be, that Lin Tian just now was a rank 6 student who was officially recognized by the Azure Province school as a favored son of heaven?


    Fang Xing was about to ask Lin Tian, "Brother, this Level 6 student, Lin Tian, is you ¡­"


    Before he could even ask, Fang Xing discovered that Lin Tian had already disappeared.


    When Lin Tian''s name appeared on the Golden Ranking, Lin Tian had already realized that something wasn''t right. Just now, he had told Fang Xing and the few burly men his real name, so once the Golden Ranking was released, they would definitely think that he was the pride of the heavens.


    In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Tian hurriedly pulled Jiang Liu''er away.


    A tree in a forest, the wind would destroy it. How could Lin Tian not know this logic?


    "Brother Tian ¡­" No... Lin ¡­ "Young master, are you really the level 6 student up there?" Jiang Liu''er stuttered.


    He saw the name on the Golden Ranking and also saw Lin Tian''s reaction.


    At that time, he had thought of whether or not Lin Tian was the Lin Tian on the Golden Ranking, so now he asked this because he wanted to hear Lu Fan''s answer. To him, he really wanted to know how Lin Tian would answer him, even though he had basically confirmed Lin Tian''s identity.


    Lin Tian smiled, then patted Jiang Liu''er''s head: Young Noble Lin Tian? Why are you calling me Brother Tian? I like it when you call me Brother Tian. "


    Jiang Liu''er hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother Tian, that level six student on top, is it really you?"


    "Right, Brother Tian ¡­" That''s a lot more pleasing to listen to. That level 6 student is me, right. " Lin Tian did not have the intention of lying to Jiang Liu''er. He directly admitted it, then smiled and said: "Relax, you treat me as a friend, of course I treat you as a friend, even if the person on top is me, so what? Compared to that rank 6 student title, I care more about you, my friend!"


    "Brother Tian, what you said is true, you didn''t lie to me right?" When Jiang Liu''er heard Lin Tian say this, she immediately became excited.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "Of course, I will treat you as my friend."


    Jiang Liu''er immediately became happy and said with a smile, "Me too."


    "However, it''s good for you to become a level 6 student. In the future, I will have a powerful big brother to protect me. I can do whatever I want in the entirety of Qingzhou City." Jiang Liu''er once again regained her youthful temperament.


    Lin Tian laughed and did not reply.


    As the two spoke, they once again arrived at River Gazing Pavilion. Earlier, the few of them went together to look at the Proclamation of Golden Distinction, but they did not bring the horse along, so naturally they had to return to lead the horse. It was already near evening, so Lin Tian naturally sent Jiang Liu''er back.


    Lin Tian and Fang Xing''s departure did not attract too much attention, because aside from the few mercenaries and Fang Xing, who knew Lin Tian''s true identity, no one else knew.


    However, at this moment, everyone began to discuss among themselves. None of them knew who Lin Tian was, even the students who had just participated in the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial were unfamiliar with Lin Tian''s name. If they remembered correctly, Lin Tian was not the only person participating in the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial ¡­ ¡­


    "Did you know, Lin Tian, we drank wine together just now ¡­." Right at this moment, those several big men started to brag.


    "Lin Tian, that heaven''s pride level expert, Lin Tian?" someone asked incredulously.


    "That''s right, it''s him!" Those few big men immediately became excited and described the situation when they saw Lin Tian.


    Fang Xing looked at the men and shook his head before stroking his chin as he thought to himself, "I really didn''t expect that Lin Tian would be able to become a Level 6 student, a Heaven''s Pride student!" Interesting, interesting, it''s getting more and more interesting. I can''t believe I''ve also made a mistake ¡­ "


    "Lin Tian, you are making me more and more interested in you ¡­ ¡­" With the precious treasure in hand, Fang Xing had already sensed that Lin Tian was not ordinary. Of course, he had also known from the start that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master.


    However, he never would have thought that Lin Tian had such a strong talent. He was actually recognized by the Azure Province school as a level 6 student, the pride of the heavens ¡­


    Fang Xing shook his head, no longer thinking about this matter. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the instructor in charge of placing the results.


    The instructor had already completed his work. As he instructed the students beside him to put away the ranking, he also observed the reactions of the crowd.


    "Respectful greetings, Instructor." Fang walked up to the instructor and bowed.


    "What is it?" That instructor asked with a smile on his face. He was extremely amiable.


    "It''s like this. Students would like to know, what are the criteria for grading a level 5 and a level 6 student?" Fang Xing asked without hesitation.


    "A rank 5 standard is actually the Spiritual Body of Heaven and Earth, which is what we call the Divine Body. To be honest, they are the true pride of the heavens. After all, all the people in the Spiritual Body are the favored ones of the heavens." The instructor smiled and replied.


    "So the teacher''s meaning is that the students of the fifth rank have not actually participated in the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial?" Fang Xing paused for a second before asking again.


    "Nope." The instructor gave a straightforward answer: "The Exquisite Pagoda''s trial goal is actually to test the potential of those students. The Heaven''s Spirit Body doesn''t need to test their potential; their potential and talent are unrivalled."


    This explanation was reasonable, so Fang Xing didn''t hesitate and asked, "What about the level 6 students?"


    "The student of the sixth rank is chosen by the dean. I don''t know why this Lin Tian is a student of the sixth rank." The instructor shook his head and gave such an answer.


    Fang Xing was startled, but he quickly came to his senses. This reply was beyond his expectations.


    Could it be that there was some sort of relationship between Lin Tian and the dean?


    "What level are you at?" The teacher thought that Fang Xing was also one of the participants in the selection and couldn''t help but ask right away.


    "Instructor, I came here in a hurry, but by the time I arrived, I had already missed the selection time." Instructor, I came here in a hurry, but by the time I arrived, I had already missed the selection time. Fang Xing replied calmly.


    "Yes." The instructor was slightly startled, and then his face turned serious: "Are you speaking the truth?"


    "Of course, I would like to ask teacher to help me. I want to enter the Azure Province Academy. I want to participate in the third round of the preliminaries!" Fang Xing asked again.


    "You dog slave, hurry up and dodge. How dare you block something that my young master has his eyes on? How many lives do you have?!"


    Just as Lin Tian and Jiang Liu''er arrived at River Gazing House and was about to take the Qilin horse away, a wave of cursing suddenly came from Ma Peng who was behind the River Gazing Restaurant.


    Lin Tian''s face turned cold, a bad premonition suddenly appearing in his heart. Could it be?


    With these thoughts in mind, the two rushed anxiously towards the stable.


    Sure enough, at that moment, in the stable, a servant-looking person was constantly pulling the reins of the Qilin horse. The waiter next to him wanted to stop him, but he was kicked to the ground by the servant.


    "My horse!" Jiang Liu''er''s eyes were bloodshot as she rushed towards the Qilin horse.


    "Where did this little bastard come from!" When the servant saw Jiang Liu''er rushing towards him, he immediately got angry and prepared to throw a punch at her.


    However, before that fist could land on Jiang Liu''er''s body, his body was already sent flying. The next moment, his body suddenly descended and smashed the stable.


    His body heavily fell from the roof and onto the ground. Right now, his entire body was a mess of flesh and blood. The moment he made his move on Jiang Liu''er, Lin Tian also made his move.


    With a Heaven Collapsing Palm, the servant was sent flying.


    The servant struggled to take a few breaths, then died.


    Jiang Liu''er was startled, but immediately pulled back her Qilin horse.


    "Who are you? How dare you ruin my young master''s plans? Attack!" Just as Lin Tian and Jiang Liu''er were about to lead the Qilin horse and leave, a group of people suddenly came and surrounded Lin Tian and Jiang Liu''er.


    Obviously, it was Lin Tian''s palm that caused the commotion and attracted the attention of this group of people.


    "Scram!" Lin Tian''s tone was ice-cold and he was unwilling to say more, but just this one word was enough to intimidate the person who came.


    "My young master has taken a fancy to that horse. Here is a thousand gold coins, we''ll buy it!" The leader saw Lin Tian''s face filled with killing intent and hesitated a bit before throwing over a bag of gold coins and saying.


    "If you don''t scram, then die!" Lin Tian Jin did not waste any more words, his figure directly moved, instantly arriving in front of the person in the lead.


    With a flying palm, he killed that person!

 C111

    Lin Tian turned around and sent out another Sky Collapsing Palm, directly killing the person behind him.


    Using the God Transforming Steps, the crowd couldn''t clearly see Lin Tian''s steps and directly died under Lin Tian''s palm.


    Not long after, the several people surrounding Lin Tian and Jiang Liu''er all fell under Lin Tian''s palm.


    This fight instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Not long later, a young man walked out from River Gazing Tower.


    "Little bastard, you must be tired of living. You dare to touch my people?!" The rich young master swept his gaze over the corpses on the ground and then fiercely roared at Lin Tian.


    "Young Marquis!" When Jiang Liu''er saw that person, she immediately called out.


    "Young Marquis?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, but then the corner of his mouth curled up into a strange smile. He turned to Jiang Liu''er and asked: "Interesting, is he the young prince of the Azure Province?"


    "Yes." Jiang Liu''er nodded her head, but her face turned pale. The young nobleman of the Cyan Plains City was not someone that their Clear Pavilion could offend ¡­


    "Seems like I really am at odds with the princes of Tian Luo Kingdom!" Lin Tian laughed: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"


    Saying that, Lin Tian had already rushed in front of the young prince and used one hand to tightly grab his neck.


    "Brother Tian, don''t!" Jiang Liu''er was startled, but it was too late when she wanted to stop Lin Tian.


    "Little bastard ¡­" "You, you''re courting death ¡­" The young prince was also shocked. He never thought that Lin Tian would actually be so angry that he would directly attack him.


    "Quickly put it down, brother Tian, he''s the only son of the green state king Luo Feng, the young prince Luo Chong!" Jiang Liu''er immediately rushed in front of Lin Tian in a panic and said to him.


    The green state king was not like those kings, but the kings of the entire green state. However, Luo Feng was the royal family''s first cousin to the king.


    A prince like this governed the entire Qingzhou with overwhelming power. Luo Chong was his only son. If anything happened to Luo Chong, the one who would suffer would be the Clear Pavilion.


    "Your Highness? Young Marquis? " Luo Lie was also a prince, and Luo Chen was also a young prince. But, didn''t they all die at his hands? He never would have thought that he would run into another young prince right now.


    "Little bastard, you, you better let me go and kowtow a few times. Otherwise, if you kill me, I will kill everyone who is related to you!" Luo Chong''s face turned red from Lin Tian pinching him, but he still threatened.


    At this time, countless people had already gathered in front of River Gazing Restaurant, all of them were pointing at Lin Tian, with a look of schadenfreude on their faces. This brat probably did not know who he was holding in his hands, he had simply eaten the heart and guts of a leopard, actually daring to attack the young prince, perhaps he did not even know how he died.


    Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, the young prince, Luo Chong, also became more and more arrogant.


    "I hate people who threaten me the most." He was just about to smack Luo Chong to death with a palm, but when he suddenly saw Jiang Liu''er, who was beside, shaking her head towards Lin Tian, Lin Tian Deng immediately thought of something. If he killed this Luo Chong, then he would have no trouble because he was about to become a student of the Azure Province Academy, moreover, he was the only student of the rank 6 in the history of the Azure Province Academy.


    It should be known that today, the second prince who was most likely to ascend to the throne had sent Xiao Lin to kill Lin Tian, only to be killed by Elder Zhang. The second prince still did not dare to find trouble with Lin Tian.


    Even the Second Prince, Lin Tian, was not afraid, so how about this so-called king of the Azure Province?


    However, even though he didn''t have to worry, for Jiang Liu''er, this was a disaster. Especially for the Clear Pavilion, if Lin Tian killed Luo Chong, then Luo Feng wouldn''t dare to find trouble with him.


    "This is a little troublesome." Lin Tian thought about it. In the end, he didn''t kill him, but he was the one who made this matter, so he naturally had to deal with it.


    "What''s wrong? You don''t dare to kill me anymore? Weren''t you very powerful just now? Now you know how to be afraid?" When Luo Chong saw Lin Tian''s expression, he smiled with great difficulty.


    "I''ll tell you now, put me down and kneel on the ground obediently, kowtow to me until I''m satisfied. Also, you, leave me that qilin horse in your hands, and you go back and tell that big sister Hua, get her to obediently come over to accompany me for a night ¡­"


    "I''ll kill you!" When Jiang Liu''er heard Luo Chong insult his sister Hua, she couldn''t hold it in any longer.


    He directly dashed towards Luo Chong, as if he wanted to fight to the death with Luo Chong.


    Lin Tian pulled Jiang Liu''er back. Now that he thought about it, he couldn''t kill Luo Chong. Killing Luo Chong would bring endless troubles to Jiang Liu''er and the rest. Lin Tian didn''t want this to happen.


    Lin Tian thought for a moment. Then, he whispered to Luo Chong with a smile: "Do you know who I am?"


    "Little Wang, I don''t care who you are. No matter who you are, this is the only solution to this matter." When Luo Chong saw Lin Tian yield, he became even more unyielding.


    "I am Lin Tian." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "I don''t care what you are ¡­" Just as Luo Chong spoke, he suddenly recalled something.


    "You, who are you?" Luo Chong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty before he forcefully smiled and asked.


    "Lin Tian." Lin Tian replied once again.


    "You are actually the Lin Tian who killed Luo Lie!" Luo Chong''s voice was filled with disbelief.


    "Mm, it''s me!" Lin Tian had a harmless smile on his face


    However, Luo Chong suddenly felt his legs go weak and cursed in his heart: "I''ve provoked such a monster!"


    It turned out that the news of Lin Tian killing Yongan King Luo Lie had already spread throughout the Imperial Family long ago. Moreover, almost all the princes of Tian Luo Kingdom knew of someone like Lin Tian.


    At first, many of the princes thought that since this kid had killed King Yongan, the royal family would definitely stand up for Luo Lie.


    However, he did not expect the Second Prince to send an expert at the eighth level of the Xinghe Realm to kill Lin Tian. In the end, he could not kill him and the expert at the eighth level of the Xinghe Realm also did not return.


    Later, when this matter reached the ears of the king, the king who was still in closed-door seclusion ordered, "All princes, all those who see Lin Tian, back off."


    Then, he said something profound: "Although I do not like the rules left behind by the old ancestor, but I still have to follow them, but, our Tian Luo Kingdom has many princes with the surname Luo, we do not lack princes, it is normal for one or two princes to die, my son, there are more than ten of them, and there are many princes, we do not care about the lack of one or two ¡­"


    The meaning behind these words was very obvious. When the king had ascended to the throne, he had stepped on the bones of his own brother to ascend to the throne. Now that the time had come, he didn''t have any intention of abdicating.


    There were too many princes in Tian Luo Kingdom, so there was really no shortage of princes. Therefore, if anyone did not want to be the prince, could they change people?


    Of course, many of the princes were guessing just who this Lin Tian was. He actually made the king personally speak up for him, and even made all the princes retreat when they saw Lin Tian?


    After a while, Luo Feng finally found some clues.


    So it turned out that this student called Lin Tian had actually passed the Exquisite Pagoda''s eighteenth floor trial. The ancient bell of the Azure Province had rung, startling the king.


    During his seclusion, the king personally summoned Gu Qingyuan, the headmaster of the Azure Continent Academy.


    Gu Qingyuan had reported everything that had happened back then to the current king.


    When the king heard this, he could only say one sentence, "This child is the number one heaven''s pride expert of Tian Luo!"


    The king''s love for talent was very famous. The talents groomed by the five great academies all had to serve the king. Hence, under the rule of this generation of monarch, the status of the entire five great academies all rose rapidly.


    Now that there was such a genius, the king naturally had a green eye.


    So Lin Tian killing Luo Lie was naturally forgiven. Moreover, the Second Prince who had sent people to kill Lin Tian was also frightened by the king''s words. He spent the entire day in seclusion, never saying anything about this matter.


    After Luo Feng found out about this, he warned Luo Chong repeatedly, not to use his identity as a young prince to do whatever he wanted in Qingzhou City, especially not to provoke Lin Tian.


    If he really met Lin Tian, they could only be on good terms. If they couldn''t be on good terms, they absolutely could not be provoked.


    However, he did not expect Luo Chong to provoke such an evil star the moment he stepped out of the sect today.


    Luo Chong was immediately scared to the point that he peed his pants. He was clear in his heart that even if Lin Tian Zhen killed him, not only would Luo Feng not avenge him, he would quickly sever all relations with him and even praise Lin Tian Sha for his kindness ¡­


    When he thought of this, the only bit of arrogance in Luo Chong''s heart was gone. He thought of the words in his heart, but he didn''t know what to say to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly squinted his eyes. He had been observing Luo Chong''s reaction, and had guessed a bit. He slightly smiled, then put Luo Chong down and said: "Do you have something to say to me?"


    "Yes ¡­" "Yes!" Luo Chong''s eyes carried a trace of decisiveness.


    "Go ahead." Lin Tian secretly circulated his Essence, taking precautions against Luo Chong. As long as he dared to make a move, Lin Tian would directly kill him with a palm.


    However, Luo Chong knelt down towards Lin Tian with a "putong" sound and kowtowed. "Master Lin, Master Lin, you are my grandfather!" I was wrong, I was wrong, I was blind to not recognize Mount Tai, I unintentionally offended you, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, but I don''t want to die, I really offended you unintentionally, I am guilty, I am wrong, I am wrong ¡­ "


    Luo Chong sobbed as he kept slapping himself in the face.


    Lin Tian was startled: "This ¡­"


    Jiang Liu''er was also stunned, "..."


    The surrounding spectators were also petrified.


    "Am I dreaming?" Someone shouted out in disbelief, staring at the scene in front of him in a daze.


    "I''m finished, I''m really dreaming, even pinching myself doesn''t hurt ¡­" Someone said in a daze.


    "That''s because you pinched me!" After that person finished speaking, the person beside him roared crazily.


    With that roar, everyone regained their senses. "This is not a dream."


    However, was it really the arrogant and domineering young prince, Luo Chong, who had done all of this?

 C112

    At this moment, the aloof and insufferable young prince was actually slapping himself, and even kneeling down in front of him?


    What''s going on? What''s with that kid''s identity and how could he make Luo Chong do such a thing?


    Everyone was discussing, but without exception, they were all guessing at Lin Tian''s identity.


    But after discussing for a long time, no one knew who Lin Tian was, to actually have such a strong power. The most important thing was that none of them knew what Lin Tian and Luo Chong said just now.


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses. He could basically guess why Luo Chong would do this, but the Tian Luo Kingdom''s Emperor had personally said that if other dukes saw Lin Tian, they would back off. Lin Tian didn''t know.


    But after knowing these things, Lin Tian immediately laughed: "Didn''t you ask me to kneel down and kowtow to you just now? How did you start kowtowing yourself?"


    "I was blind, I unintentionally offended you, I was wrong, I was wrong, I beg you to spare me, I don''t dare anymore, I was really wrong ¡­" Luo Chong was now completely terrified and kept kowtowing and admitting his wrongs, begging Lin Tian to forgive him.


    At this moment, his head was bleeding, and the ground where he had kowtowed was dyed red with blood.


    At this moment, Jiang Liu''er was stunned. He also didn''t know why the arrogant and domineering Luo Chong would suddenly kneel to Lin Tian and kowtow and admit his mistake ¡­


    "Didn''t you just ask us to keep this horse?" Lin Tian smiled again.


    "I don''t dare, I don''t dare anymore ¡­" Luo Chong kowtowed as if his life was on the line. Compared to the humiliation he''d suffered, he cared more about his life. He didn''t want to die.


    "Apologize to him." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "Master, I''m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn''t have taken your horse ¡­" Luo Chong listened to Lin Tian''s every word and did not dare to go against it.


    "Brother Tian, this ¡­" Jiang Liu''er, on the other hand, didn''t know what to do when faced with Luo Chong.


    "Just now, you said you wanted that big sister Hua to accompany you?" Lin Tian sneered as he spoke again.


    "I don''t dare, I really don''t dare anymore. I beg you, please let me go." Luo Chong''s face was filled with fear as he continuously apologized.


    He didn''t know why Luo Chong would suddenly do this, but it must be because of Lin Tian. But with Lin Tian doing this, if Luo Chong came to find trouble with Big Sister Hua in the future, how would the Clear Pavilion deal with it?


    But the next sentence that Lin Tian said made Jiang Liu''er relax.


    "Alright, get lost. But if you dare to find trouble with them in the future, I will definitely kill you!" Lin Tian sent Luo Chong flying with a kick.


    Luo Chong''s figure was sent flying. His face was covered in blood, but his face revealed extreme joy, as if he''d been relieved of a heavy burden.


    Lin Tian didn''t kill him. To be able to keep his life in Lin Tian''s hands, how could Luo Chong have any other thoughts. He repeatedly thanked him and then hastily crawled away from this place.


    Lin Tian watched Luo Chong run away and no longer cared about him. If Luo Chong dared to come and cause trouble again, Lin Tian wouldn''t mind directly killing him. One must know that he was the first student of the Azure Province Academy to be ranked level 6 in a thousand years, a heaven''s pride expert!


    Everything was supported by the Azure Province, what was he afraid of?


    Once Luo Chong left, everyone else left as well. Only then did Lin Tian leave with Jiang Liu''er, who was still in a daze.


    Jiang Liu''er hadn''t recovered from the shock for a long time, but as she sat on the Qilin, she still asked hesitantly, "Brother Tian, you ¡­"


    Lin Tian knew what Jiang Liu''er wanted to ask, so he didn''t hide anything and truthfully told Jiang Liu''er his real identity.


    Listening to Lin Tian''s narration, Jiang Liu''er''s heart was filled with yearning. She muttered to herself: "When can I be like Brother Tian ¡­"


    When Lin Tian heard Jiang Liu''er''s words, he patted Jiang Liu''er''s head and faintly smiled.


    Before long, the qilin horse carried Lin Tian and Jiang Liu''er back to the Clear Pavilion.


    However, at this moment, two strangers had actually appeared within the Clear Pavilion.


    Jiang Liu''er recognized the two of them. One of them was the manager of Tian Luo Merchant Guild, Mr. Hu.


    The other one was Mr Hu''s maid, Xiao Yue, the maid who had rejected Lin Tian at that time.


    At this moment, Mr Hu was in the main hall of the Clear Pavilion, discussing something with Sister Hua.


    "Sister Hua, I''m back." Jiang Liu''er called out before entering the house with Lin Tian.


    Mister Hu, Lin Tian, did not recognize him. When he first went to the Clear Pavilion, Mister Hu was not there.


    But Lin Tian could not be more familiar with the maid behind Mister Hu.


    It was actually Xiao Yue who rejected him before.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, he did not know what these two had come here for. The Clear Xuan Pavilion and the Tianluo Chamber of Commerce were mortal enemies, and in terms of business, there were competition everywhere. Could it be that the members of the Heavenly Luo Chamber of Commerce were here to buy things?


    Lin Tian guessed right. They really did come to buy things. Inside the Clear Pavilion, there was indeed something they wanted.


    Seeing Lin Tian enter with Jiang Liu''er, elder sister Hua''s eyes immediately lit up, then she smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, it''s not that I''m not selling it to you, but rather this item. This young master has consigned it to us, and I can''t make the decision either.


    Lin Tian was startled, but then immediately reacted. There was definitely nothing good about Sister Hua saying it like that ¡­


    Indeed, in the next moment, Mister Hu faced Lin Tian and said: "Oh, so it is this young master''s item. So it is like this, young master, my Tian Luo Merchant Guild is willing to offer a high price to purchase the Rank 3 Demonic Beast''s beast core in your hands. As long as it is a Demonic Core, we do not require a Demonic Beast.


    "Demonic Core?" Lin Tian immediately reacted. Previously, he personally came to sell those demon beasts and that maid mocked and ridiculed him. Her attitude was not good, but now, she actually came to talk about beast cores?


    Since he gave them face, then if he didn''t slap his face, it wouldn''t be enough to quell the anger in his heart.


    "Not for sale." Lin Tian coldly replied with two words.


    "Why is that?" The Alchemy Master from the Chamber of Commerce was determined to obtain a Rank 3 beast core, but how could a Rank 3 beast core be so easily obtained? It took a lot of effort before he managed to find out that there was a beast core in the Clear Xuan Pavilion, so he had no choice but to put down his pride and personally come to the Clear Xuan Pavilion to buy a beast core.


    But now, this person didn''t even ask for the price and just directly refused ¡­


    "Huh?" Lin Tian snorted: I dare ask why, I just started out by going to the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, it''s a pity, it''s too bad, a small fry like me, I''m afraid I won''t be able to enter your eyes, after all, an ordinary hunter, even if I am able to kill demonic beasts, I would only hunt Stage One Demonic Beasts, but doesn''t the Tian Luo Merchant Guild not accept Stage One Demonic Beasts?


    Lin Tian''s eyes were filled with coldness as he coldly stared at the maid, Xiao Yue, behind Mr Hu.


    "Hmm?" Mr Hu had been in charge of the Clear Pavilion for many years. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind Lin Tian''s words, and he immediately recalled what had happened earlier. Could it be that the person in front of him was the person Xiao Yue rejected?


    How was this possible? How could there be such a coincidence?


    "Xiao Yue?" Mr Hu looked towards Xiao Yue.


    The maid, Xiao Yue, currently had a terrifyingly pale face and her body was on the verge of collapse. She also did not expect that Lin Tian actually possessed a Rank 3 Demonic Beast ¡­ ¡­


    At that time, if she had not looked down on Lin Tian, or asked another question, no such thing would have happened. She would have even received a Rank 3 Demonic Beast to help Tian Luo Merchant Guild and even gotten rid of the status of a maid.


    It was just that she had missed out on such an opportunity because of a single thought. Mr Hu would definitely not let her off this time. Even if he wanted to stay in the Tian Luo Merchant Guild, it would be impossible ¡­


    With a plop, the maid knelt down and said tearfully, "Young master, it''s Xiao Yue who looks down on people and looks down on young master. I hope that young master will be magnanimous and not bicker with me, a maid. Xiao Yue is apologizing to young master here ¡­"


    Lin Tian slightly smiled: "Is there any use in apologizing afterwards?"


    As he said this, he turned to look at Mister Hu, making a plan in his mind.


    "You want the beast core?" Lin Tian did not pay attention to Xiao Yue and directly asked Mister Hu.


    "Yes, I am willing to pay a high price for it." After hearing Lin Tian''s words, Mr Hu felt that this matter might have a turning point.


    "Two thousand high-grade spirit stones." Lin Tian faintly smiled and then made a bid.


    "What?" Mr Hu immediately cried out in alarm.


    Big Sister Hua, Jiang Liu''er, and the other maids in the Clear Pavilion all had faces full of disbelief as they looked at Lin Tian.


    Two thousand high-grade spirit stones! One must know that the basic price of an entire Rank 3 Demonic Beast was around one thousand five hundred high-grade Spirit Stones.


    But right now it was only a demonic core, so Lin Tian wanted two thousand high grade spirit stones.


    The beast''s entire body was filled with treasures. Although Rank 3 beast cores were very precious, if they were sold alone, it would only require 800 high grade spirit stones at most. That was enough.


    "You find the price low? Three thousand high-grade spirit stones. " Lin Tian spoke again.


    "Young master, you''re raising the price without asking for it!" Mr Hu''s face turned ugly at once.


    "Five thousand high-grade spirit stones." Lin Tian spoke again, not giving in at all.


    Mr Hu finally understood what Lin Tian meant and immediately shut his mouth. He knew that if he said one more sentence, Lin Tian would increase the price.


    "I''ll buy it." After struggling for a while, Mr Hu still said with a trembling voice.


    "That''s right, let''s have a happy cooperation." Lin Tian immediately laughed, then turned around to the maid at the side and said: "Xiao Lan, take out the beast core of that third step first rank demon beast and give it to this mister."


    Saying this, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something: "Oh, that''s right, I still have Rank 3 Rank 2, Rank 3, Rank 5 Demonic Beast Cores. If you need them, I can sell them all to you."


    "What?" Mr Hu immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Tian. He, he actually still had more than one Rank 3 Demonic Beast!


    Moreover, the highest level demon beast had actually reached the third level fifth rank!


    Mr Hu''s heart was bleeding. Originally, the Tian Luo Merchant Guild could have owned these demonic beasts directly, so they didn''t need to pay such a huge price. But now, if he wanted to buy all of them, it would have required tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones!


    It''s all this bitch''s fault!


    Mr Hu stared at Xiao Yue, gritting his teeth as he thought.


    Xiao Yue''s heart felt like it was on the verge of death. She knew that she was doomed...

 C113

    "Young master, we, Tian Luo Merchant Guild, want to buy them all." Mr. Hu felt his throat dry up. Even his voice was trembling.


    "Fine, I''ll give you five thousand high-grade third-ranked spirit stones. I''ll give you seven thousand third-ranked high-grade third-ranked spirit stones, and twenty thousand third-ranked spirit stones!" Lin Tian happily gave his price.


    "The total is thirty-two thousand high-grade spirit stones." Lin Tian said with a face full of smiles.


    "Alright ¡­" Mister Hu''s body was trembling. Lin Tian''s sitting posture raising the price was really amazing. With this big mouth, the price was raised by ten times!


    The other people, whether it was Big Sister Hua, Jiang Liu''er, or Xiao Lan, all had faces full of shock. They all looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    "Xiao Lan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the demonic cores for the guests." Lin Tian smiled as he said to Little Lan.


    "Oh, oh." Xiao Lan seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly left.


    However, after a while, Xiao Lan took the beast cores and gave them to Lin Tian.


    Before Mr Hu had arrived, he was worried that the Clear Pavilion would offer a high price, so he had brought enough spirit stones and spirit crystals. Now, he gave all of them to Lin Tian.


    After obtaining the beast core, Mister Hu''s heart felt at ease. However, he faintly glanced at Lin Tian and then said softly: "Young master, your appetite is so big. Aren''t you afraid of being stuffed to death?"


    Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed: "You, are you threatening me?"


    Just as Mr Hu was about to speak, outside the door, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Qingzhou Luo Feng brought his unfilial son Luo Chong to meet Lin Tian gongzi!"


    "Luo Feng, Luo Chong?" Lin Tian frowned. What were they doing here?


    However, the others were immediately shocked in their hearts. Luo Feng, this name, they were all very familiar with, he was the green state king!


    And Luo Chong, the young prince of the Azure Province.


    They did not know why the Azure Province King had brought his son here, but the word "request" they had used made the crowd feel extremely shocked. They actually wanted to "meet" Lin Tian!


    Mister Hu''s eyes were filled with astonishment. He continuously sized up Lin Tian as if he was trying to guess Lin Tian''s identity.


    This kid actually had an old relationship with the Azure Province''s King!


    In front of the Azure Province''s king, it was still not big enough. If this boy had some relationship with the Azure Province''s king, then it was better not to provoke him. Thinking of this, that Mister Hu did not want to stay here any longer, but just as he was about to say his goodbyes, Lin Tian''s voice had already transmitted out: "Come in."


    Footsteps came from outside the door, and from the sound, there were definitely more than two people. Mr Hu frowned, then he stopped. If he met the Azure Province''s King, it would not be proper if they didn''t meet face to face.


    Behind him, Luo Feng had already brought Luo Chong into the main hall of the Qing Xuan pavilion.


    Luo Feng looked around and was shocked to discover that Mr Hu was here. He was startled for a moment, but then, Luo Feng was already in front of Lin Tian, bowing to him as he said: "Young master Lin Tian, my disappointing unfilial son unintentionally offended you. Today, I have specially brought him here to be dealt with by you!"


    After saying that, Luo Feng pulled Luo Chong to his side and with a kick, Luo Chong knelt in front of Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian didn''t expect Luo Feng to bring Luo Chong here. It was all because of this matter. Wasn''t this matter already over? Why did Luo Feng come to apologize?


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t know of the Tian Luo King''s orders, and didn''t know of Luo Feng''s worries.


    When Luo Chong returned to his mansion with a face covered in blood earlier, Luo Feng asked him about everything that had happened. Luo Chong didn''t dare to hide anything, so he told him everything.


    Not knowing what was good, once he heard that Luo Chong provoked Lin Tian, Luo Feng almost beat Luo Chong half to death. Is he tired of living?


    Luo Chong''s heart was filled with bitterness as he watched Luo Feng suffer. However, there was nothing he could do. Who told him not to have eyes and provoke that evil star. Luo Chong was already very grateful that his father didn''t beat him to death.


    Not to mention Luo Feng is the king''s cousin, the 2nd prince back then was the king''s own son, but in the end, didn''t he just stay in the mansion?


    It was said that the king almost wanted to cripple the second prince, but gave up after thinking about it.


    That was the Second Prince, one of the princes who had the highest chance of becoming the next King. Yet, he was almost crippled just like that ¡­


    Not to mention him, a mere Azure Province King.


    So Luo Feng didn''t have enough time to think, so he directly brought Luo Chong to the Clear Pavilion. It wasn''t hard to find Lin Tian, so Luo Feng didn''t dare delay his path at all.


    Luo Feng was currently bowing and apologizing with a very low posture, but he was still very nervous inside, afraid that Lin Tian wouldn''t forgive them.


    Lin Tian was quite surprised. He didn''t know what was going on behind the scenes, so he didn''t think about what Luo Feng was thinking.


    However, since Luo Feng, a great king of the Cyan Plains, had personally come to apologize, there was no need to continue being overbearing. He originally wanted to prevent Luo Feng and Luo Chong from finding trouble with the Clear Pavilion, and since they were all here, he could just explain himself.


    "That''s enough. Your son has already been taught a lesson and apologised. This is no big deal. I just hope that in the future, the Azure Province King will not cause trouble for me." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "How dare you?" Luo Feng immediately understood what Lin Tian meant. He turned around and said to Sister Hua: "Miss Hua, as the city lord of Qingzhou City, I promise you this, my Green Province will forever be the backing of the Clear Pavilion. The taxes of the Clear Pavilion will be exempted for the next ten years, and as long as my Green Region Prince''s Mansion doesn''t fall, these words will forever be counted."


    This time, Big Sister Hua, Jiang Liu''er and Mr Hu were completely shocked.


    Lin Tian had unexpectedly only said a few words and completely eliminated the danger that the Clear Pavilion was facing.


    Sister Hua looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. Only now did she realize how terrifying Lin Tian was. Just where did this Lin Tian come from and why he had such great power. Even the Azure Province''s King personally came to apologize.


    Of course, Jiang Liu''er clearly explained everything that just happened to her sister Hua. Sister Hua clearly understood in her heart that the reason Luo Feng brought Luo Chong to pay a visit must be because there was some important person behind Lin Tian.


    Of course, it was also because of this that Sister Hua was even more curious about Lin Tian''s origin.


    The reason why Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce was able to establish itself in the east city was entirely because of their royal family''s background. Before, they had some connections with Luo Feng, but now, with a word from Luo Feng, Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce''s little advantage was gone completely. Not only that, with the help of the Qingzhou King, the Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce might even be at a disadvantage.


    Mr Hu was anxious. "Your Royal Highness, this ¡­"


    Once Mr Hu did not speak, Lin Tian smiled and said: "In my opinion, the ten years of tax relief given by the Clear Pavilion cannot be used to make the Prince pay. How about this, this ten years tax credit should be added to the Tian Luo Merchant Guild."


    Luo Feng was shocked, he looked at Mr Hu and then at the pale looking maid Xiao Yue kneeling behind him, immediately reacting, without hesitation, "We''ll do as the young master says!"

 C114

    Mister Hu''s face immediately turned ashen. How could he not know that it was because of the threat he had made to Lin Tian today?


    However, he never would have thought that Luo Feng would actually agree.


    Ten years of taxes, not only did the Clear Mystery Pavilion reduce the taxes, they even made the Tiouluo Chamber of Commerce pay for it.


    "Your Highness!" Mr Hu could not hold it in any longer and said sinisterly: "The Tian Luo Merchant Guild is a merchant guild under the royal family''s jurisdiction. I''m afraid that your actions are a little inappropriate ¡­"


    Luo Feng''s eyelids jumped. There were people who weren''t afraid of death every year, but this year there were a lot of them, and this Mr Hu before him was probably one of them.


    He did not see how he was going to deal with Lin Tian, but this Mister Hu was still alive and kicking with the Tian Luo Royal Family?


    However, since he didn''t know whether he was dead or alive, there was no need to give him a nice face.


    "Mister Hu, so you actually know that the Tian Luo Chamber of Commerce is the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Fine, I will go back and reply to Old Qing right now, I''m afraid that Mister Hu is living in Qingzhou City too comfortably, so I think Mister Hu will like it if Old Qing moves to the other side." Luo Feng seemed to be talking about an extremely normal thing.


    Mr Hu immediately felt that something was wrong. In fact, he regretted it the moment he said it. However, it was already too late for regret now.


    His face immediately went pale, he knew better than anyone else what he would face if Luo Feng really did that.


    Mr Hu did not stay any longer, because no matter what was said, there was no room for negotiation.


    Mr Hu directly pulled Xiao Yue out of the Clear Pavilion. At this moment, only Lin Tian and the rest were left.


    Luo Feng''s face was gloomy as he watched Mr Hu leave. He turned around and smiled at Lin Tian: "Sir Lin, I''ve brought a gift with me. Sir Lin, please accept it."


    Lin Tian was startled, this Luo Feng really came here to apologize, he actually had a gift, but for such a good thing, Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t refuse, he just laughed and said: "Oh, why are you being so polite. Then bring the gift over, where is it?"


    The corner of Sister Hua''s mouth twitched. This Lin Tian really did not follow common sense.


    "Hand it over." Luo Feng shouted to the people outside.


    Not long later, each of the servants carrying a box entered the Clear Pavilion.


    "Sir Lin, I really don''t know what you like. I might as well choose a few things from the mansion ¡­" Luo Feng opened the boxes one by one.


    Two chests of gold coins, a total of more than ten thousand gold coins, a case of high-grade spirit stones, some Lingzhi medicinal herbs, and a case of medicinal pills.


    Lin Tian looked at the boxes of items and couldn''t help but have the corner of his mouth twitch. He had grown up, but it was the first time he had seen so much money.


    But other than the box of Spirit Stones that was useful to Lin Tian, none of the other things were things that Lin Tian needed.


    But from these few boxes, it could be seen that the Azure Province''s King was fawning over him. That made Lin Tian a bit curious. What in the world was he worthy of the Azure Province''s King''s fawning over?


    Why did he bring all this stuff to apologize? And why did he humiliate his son to such an extent?


    After pondering for a long time, Lin Tian could only think of the reason that he was a level 6 student. Luo Feng saw the potential in his body and wanted to get on good terms with him in advance.


    Deep down, even Lin Tian did not think about it, he did not know that, in fact, he had long since entered the king''s eyes, and had even personally issued the "King of all the land in Tian Luo, meeting with Lin Tian, retreat for a while" command.


    When Luo Feng opened the treasure chest, his heart was bleeding. This was almost half of his wealth from the palace, but right now, he was giving it all to Lin Tian.


    As long as he didn''t offend Lin Tian, he would still be the king of the Azure Province. Sooner or later, he would be able to get those things back, but after offending Lin Tian, it was likely that he, as the king of the Azure Province, would be able to achieve something.


    Luo Chong knelt at the side and shivered, afraid that Lin Tian would say "don''t accept". If Lin Tian did not want these things, then it would mean that Lin Tian was still remembering what happened earlier. Then, he would be finished.


    "Although it is of no use, I will accept them all." Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly replied. He then looked at Luo Chong, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, and said: "That''s enough, don''t let the young prince kneel. Go back, there''s nothing wrong."


    "Y-you''re my biological grandfather, my reborn parents!" When Luo Chong heard that Lin Tian said he was fine, he really wanted to jump up and cheer. However, in the end, he still thanked him.


    Luo Feng''s face darkened when he heard this. This animal dared to say that Lin Tian was his own grandfather, then who am I, I''m not Lin Tian''s son anymore. This little brat still owes me time, I''ll go back and beat him to death, no, beat him half to death ¡­


    Lin Tian''s face also darkened as he shouted: "I don''t f * cking have a grandson like you ¡­ ¡­"


    Luo Chong was stunned. He turned around to look at the expression on his grandfather''s face and immediately had a lonely expression: "I''m too happy, I said the wrong thing, I''m finished ¡­"


    "Puchi." Sister Hua could no longer hold back her laughter.


    The other maids all chuckled.


    Luo Feng felt even more embarrassed. He said goodbye to Lin Tian and left the Clear Pavilion with Luo Chong.


    After solving the problem with the Clear Pavilion, Lin Tian Deng felt as if a rock in his heart had dropped to the ground.


    Lin Tian did not plan on staying any longer and directly prepared to leave.


    But just as he said he was leaving, Jiang Liu''er pulled Lin Tian back: "Brother Tian, it''s already so late, where do you still want to go? You can stay at our Clear Pavilion. I can''t guarantee anything else, but no one will disturb you, and your rest will definitely be very good."


    Jiang Liu''er didn''t say anything, but Lin Tian really hadn''t discovered it. Right now it was already evening, so it made sense when he thought about it. There were really too many things happening today, and he didn''t have much time to rest.


    At this time, Sister Hua also looked at Lin Tian with a face full of anticipation, wanting to see how Lin Tian would answer.


    Lin Tian saw Jiang Liu''er''s face full of expectation and didn''t want Lin Tian to leave. His heart softened and he still agreed to Jiang Liu''er''s request.


    Jiang Liu''er immediately became happy and pulled Lin Tian to a guest room at the back of the Clear Pavilion.


    Behind the Clear Pavilion was a huge courtyard. Within the courtyard, there was a neat row of houses, all of which were guest rooms.


    Jiang Liu''er immediately found the best room for Lin Tian. After settling him down, she left.


    Tomorrow, he would go to the Azure Province Academy and participate in the third round of the preliminaries, so, it wasn''t important to rest tonight. Now that he had obtained so many spirit stones, he still had to consolidate his cultivation and strength a bit more. The third round of selection was definitely not that easy, so he had to make preparations early.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian stopped thinking and sat down cross-legged. He raised his condition to its peak and started to borrow the spirit stone''s power to break through to the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.


    It had already been a long time since he had reached the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. Lin Tian''s unremitting training over the past few days had already reached the brink of breaking through.


    If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Tian believed that he would soon break through to the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm after another round of hard training.

 C115

    Not long after, night came and Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, motionless. Without knowing how long had passed, Lin Tian''s body suddenly spewed out a dense white fog, that white fog instantly enveloped Lin Tian, after a while, that white fog slowly dispersed, and finally returned to Lin Tian''s body. Currently, Lin Tian''s body had fiercely opened his eyes.


    A light flashed in his eyes. He then chuckled softly and said, "Finally, I have reached the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm ¡­"


    During the day, while he was releasing the gold ranking, Lin Tian had quietly checked the strength of the students. Most of them were between the fifth and the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, so there were no stronger students that required Lin Tian''s special attention. However, during the day, when it came to the young master, Fang Xing, Lin Tian was unable to see through them.


    As for those who were ranked as level one and level two, their strength was low, only around the third level of the Qi Hai realm.


    With Lin Tian''s strength, he was quite confident in participating in the third round of the preliminaries.


    Just as Lin Tian was thinking about this, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.


    Although the sound of the footsteps was very light, Lin Tian could still clearly hear it. His perception was extremely sensitive and at this time, there was definitely someone coming.


    "Could it be Jiang Liu''er?" Lin Tian thought in astonishment, but Jiang Liu''er had already come by once before. Lin Tian had only started cultivating after sending him off, and with Jiang Liu''er''s personality, even if Jiang Liu''er had come, she wouldn''t have been so secretive.


    Who could it be?


    Lin Tian kept on thinking in his heart, but he was already on his guard and already prepared to attack at any time.


    Not long after, a series of light knocks came from outside.


    "Sir Lin, did you sleep?"


    "A woman?" Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. Only now did he realize that the girl outside should be that Sister Hua!


    "Come in." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but he still let Sister Hua in.


    Lin Tian lit up the candles in his room. At this moment, the door creaked and then opened.


    A coquettish figure slowly walked in. That person was none other than Sister Hua!


    "Sir Lin, it''s already so late, are you still awake?" Sister Hua''s lips parted slightly before letting out a charming laugh.


    "Didn''t the flower girl not sleep either?" Lin Tian softly replied: "It''s already so late, and Miss Hua still came to find me. A lone man and a single woman, I''m afraid that''s not too good."


    Lin Tian''s gaze swept across that big sister Hua. She was dressed in a light muslin, and under the dim candlelight, her neck that was like white jade was revealed. She did not put on makeup, but was already charming and alluring.


    "What''s wrong with that? I am not afraid of a single woman, but are you, a man, afraid? " Big Sister Hua gently smiled and said.


    Lin Tian looked at it and felt his mind surge. This woman was indeed born with a beautiful body. With every frown and smile, she had power that could captivate one''s soul.


    Lin Tian was a Symbol Master and his mental strength was incomparably strong. He also had this kind of reaction, not to mention those who had never cultivated mental strength. If they saw this Sister Hua, they naturally wouldn''t have much resistance.


    "Miss Hua, if there''s anything, it''s best to hurry and say it. If there''s nothing else, please leave. I need to rest." Lin Tian ignored Sister Hua''s teasing and said calmly.


    "Why can''t I come find you if I''m fine?" Sister Hua looked at Lin Tian with a bitter face.


    Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t say anything, Big Sister Hua directly sat down on the chair. She then softly laughed and said: "I''ve come so late to find Sir Lin to ask Sir Lin for a favor."


    "What is it?" Lin Tian raised his head and looked into Sister Hua''s eyes. His heartbeat immediately quickened.


    Lin Tian silently cursed: "Fey!"


    He quickly lowered his head, recovering the throbbing in his body ¡­


    Sister Hua saw Lin Tian''s reaction and couldn''t help but cover her mouth as she gently laughed: "The reason I came this time is for Jiang Liu''er."


    "For Jiang Liu''er?" Lin Tian frowned. He liked Jiang Liu''er very much. Hearing that Big Sister Hua was doing it for Jiang Liu''er, Lin Tian Deng also became serious.


    "That''s right, it''s for Jiang Liu''er." Big Sister Hua said, "Previously, Sir Lin must have heard from Jiang Liu''er about his background ¡­"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head. Jiang Liu''er said that he was an orphan who was brought up by Big Sister Hua.


    "That''s right, this is the thing I want to ask young master for, and without hiding the truth, before long, I will have to leave the Azure Province, or even Tian Luo." That''s right, that is the thing I want to ask young master for, and without hiding the truth, I will have to leave the Azure Province, and even leave Tian Luo. Big Sister Hua slowly explained.


    "You didn''t doubt my identity during the day, and you even said that I brought my goal close to Jiang Liu''er. What, now you want me to take care of Jiang Liu''er again?"


    "Does young master still remember what happened during the day? What a stingy man!" Sister Hua smiled, then said tenderly, "Weren''t I unable to investigate the young noble in the day, now that I have done so, I naturally know that the young lord is someone worth entrusting ¡­"


    "The person who entrusted the task to you?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth twitched. He couldn''t help but ask: "Where are you going?"


    Previously, Lin Tian had heard Jiang Liu''er mention that Sister Hua encountered some difficulties and the like ¡­


    Could it be because of this matter?


    Sister Hua hesitated for a moment and suddenly stood up. Then, she directly went in front of Lin Tian and sat on Lin Tian''s bed.


    "This ¡­" Lin Tian only felt a gust of fragrant wind blow into his nose as Sister Hua sat down next to him.


    Lin Tian''s consciousness was about to retreat.


    Suddenly, Sister Hua''s resentful voice was heard, "Young Master hates me?"


    "No, no, no." Lin Tian shook his head, not knowing what she meant.


    Did he throw himself into her arms?


    Lin Tian didn''t believe that he had such charm. Sister Hua''s actions must have a deeper meaning.


    "Young master, am I beautiful?" At this moment, Sister Hua asked again.


    Lin Tian raised his head and looked at Sister Hua''s abnormally flirtatious face before lightly nodding his head.


    "Heh, it''s precisely because I''m so beautiful that I want to ruin my face!" Sister Hua suddenly let out a miserable laugh.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel pity in his heart, but he was forcefully suppressed. He knew that he was affected by Big Sister Hua''s charm.


    At that time, Horned Demon had already said that Big Sister Hua was born with a beautiful body, her every move had a natural attraction to the opposite sex. If Lin Tian''s mental strength wasn''t incomparably strong, then that movement of Big Sister Hua just now, including the words just now, would have completely captivated Lin Tian and he would not know what to do.


    "What does Miss Hua mean by this?" In the end, Lin Tian couldn''t hold back and asked.


    "I am born with a beautiful body. Do I deserve to be the plaything of those men?" Sister Hua suddenly raised her head and stared at Lin Tian.

 C116

    With Sister Hua saying this, Lin Tian Deng immediately understood. She was born with a beautiful body, so the most useful thing was her body. To put it bluntly, it was a cauldron, a few martial arts cultivators, if he dual cultivated with her, their strength would be able to increase by leaps and bounds, extremely terrifying.


    Of course, this was also because she was the target of all sorts of peerless experts, and they wanted to capture her and use her as a cauldron.


    This time, it was likely because of this as well.


    Sister Hua was on the verge of tears, but Lin Tian acted as if he didn''t see it. The reason Sister Hua said this to Lin Tian was very obvious.


    Now that she knew Lin Tian''s true identity, she naturally knew that Lin Tian was Tian Luo Country''s first level 6 student in a thousand years.


    So, Sister Hua wanted Lin Tian to protect her.


    Therefore, Sister Hua''s purpose for coming tonight was definitely not just to have Lin Tian take care of Jiang Liu''er. Her goal was to say those words that would cause Lin Tian''s heart to feel sympathy for her and then step out to protect her.


    But how could Lin Tian be so stupid? Lin Tian would only call her stupid if he couldn''t see through her little thoughts.


    The person who had taken a liking to Big Sister Hua''s natural body was definitely a top class expert. Just now, she had also said that she would leave the Tian Luo Kingdom, and the experts outside the Tian Luo Kingdom were not people that Lin Tian could control. Furthermore, honestly speaking, he and Big Sister Hua were not related, so how could he possibly stand up for her.


    Even though she was Jiang Liu''er''s elder sister, she couldn''t ¡­


    Seeing that Lin Tian did not speak, Big Sister Hua immediately understood, her face went pale. Honestly speaking, today seeing Qingzhou King Luo Feng''s performance towards Lin Tian caused her already dead heart to come back to life, and also, she did find out Lin Tian''s identity. Lin Tian was actually a level six student on the Golden Ranking of Qingzhou Academy, and she had been in charge of matters in Qingzhou for many years.


    Since Lin Tian was a level 6 student, then it proved that Lin Tian''s potential was incomparable strong and he might be able to help her. That was why she came to Lin Tian at such a late time.


    But now, Lin Tian was smarter than she had imagined. She hadn''t even finished speaking when Lin Tian had already guessed what she was thinking.


    "Gongzi, you, don''t you want me?" Sister Hua suddenly spoke again. Her tone was full of teasing, and as she spoke, Sister Hua was already on the verge of collapsing onto Lin Tian.


    "Miss Flower, please behave yourself." Lin Tian Deng stood up, and said with a cold voice.


    "I understand what Miss Hua means, I will take good care of Jiang Liu''er for you, if there is nothing else, please leave, I am going to sleep." Lin Tian''s back was facing Big Sister Hua as he spoke.


    "Young master, you dislike me?" Sister Hua''s tone was filled with sorrow, but then she burst out laughing. "Good, good, good. Since I am destined to be someone else''s plaything, what''s the point of me still living?"


    "Miss Hua, it''s best if you live on. There''s only hope if you live on." Lin Tian was moved by Big Sister Hua''s words and softly sighed: "I know what you mean, but, the person who has his eyes on you, must be some kind of extreme expert, then it''s not like I can deal with him, it''s not like I don''t want to help you, it''s just that my heart is not strong enough, furthermore, you and I are not related, although I view Jiang Liu''er as my brother, I still have things to do, and I can''t lose my life just because of helping you, Miss Hua, please understand."


    "Not related?" Sister Hua immediately smiled and said, "That''s simple. If you want me to be your woman, then we will have a relationship ¡­"


    Saying that, Sister Hua tightly hugged Lin Tian from behind.


    A shocking elasticity suddenly came from Lin Tian''s back, causing his body to suddenly burn with fire. But at the same time, the egg in his dantian fiercely throbbed, and after that, it sprayed out an extremely cool chill, dispersing the fire in Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian didn''t earn a living older sister and only indifferently said: "I already have a fiancee."


    Calm tone, just these few words, immediately made Big Sister Hua let go of Lin Tian. Her face was incomparably pale, then she let out a miserable laugh: "Is that so? "Then she must be very beautiful."


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "Miss Hua, I''m sorry."


    "My name is Hua Ruyi. Young master, please remember, Hua Ruyi ¡­" Then, she said: "This item was the only item that I picked up from Jiang Liu''er years ago. I think it should be related to his background, Sir Lin is a righteous man and also Jiang Liu''er''s big brother. Jiang Liu''er, I''ll leave this to you."


    Lin Tian turned around and took the item. It was a pendant, but on the pendant was a ferocious ghost head.


    Lin Tian looked at her in shock, but did not think much about it. He kept her and asked: "When will Miss Hua leave?"


    "It''s still early. In half a month." Hua Ruyi softly said.


    "Where are you going ¡­?" Forget it, Flower Girl. " Lin Tian originally wanted to ask Hua Ruyi where she was going, but he regretted it when he asked. He didn''t say anything more and directly went back to his bed. He sat cross-legged and didn''t say anything more.


    Hua Ruyi was stunned for a moment before sighing. "Demon Spirit Domain ¡­"


    Saying that, Hua Ruyi gave a self-deprecating smile. Honestly speaking, she didn''t know what was wrong with her, how could she say so much to Lin Tian, and even said words like ''I want to become Lin Tian''s woman'' just now ¡­


    Thinking of this, Hua Ruyi felt a burning sensation on her cheeks.


    Hua Ruyi was about to open the door and leave Lin Tian''s room.


    Lin Tian suddenly charged in front of Hua Ruyi and firmly stared at her. He asked: "Where?"


    "Demon Spirit Domain!" Hua Ruyi was startled, and stared blankly at Lin Tian as she subconsciously replied.


    "Demon Spirit Domain?" Lin Tian''s eyes immediately narrowed: "Why are you going to the Demon Spirit Realm?"


    Hearing Hua Ruyi mention that she wanted to go to the Demon Spirit Realm, Lin Tian immediately thought of Yun Huang and the nightmares that appeared on the 17th floor of the Exquisite Pagoda.


    Yun Huang was imprisoned in a huge iron cage and Granny Jin was still at the side trying to persuade him. At that time, Lin Tian had a bad premonition.


    Now, Hua Ruyi is actually going to the Demon Spirit Realm?


    Could there be a connection?


    Lin Tian''s gaze once again fell on Hua Ruyi, then he asked: "Miss Hua, can you tell me who exactly is the expert that has taken a fancy to you?"


    Hua Ruyi looked at Lin Tian''s eyes with an increasingly fearful expression. Lin Tian''s eyes were currently crimson, and his body also carried an intense killing intent. He was extremely terrifying.


    However, Hua Ruyi still answered honestly, "He''s a human that wants to go to the Demon Spirit Realm ¡­"


    When he first came to Tian Luo''s Clear Pavilion headquarters to participate in the auction, he found out about me and offered a price to Elder Jiang to buy me. Initially, Elder Jiang did not agree, but later on, he agreed, I don''t know the specifics, but when I was young, he said that he would come and pick me up personally when I was older.


    "Not long ago, that person came once and specifically came to see me. Then, he decided to let me go with him to the Demon Spirit Realm."


    Hua Ruyi did not hold back in the slightest and directly told Lin Tian about this matter.

 C117

    Lin Tian did not doubt Hua Ruyi''s words in the slightest.


    She was born with a bewitching body, so it was reasonable that people would take a fancy to her. After all, it was very difficult to hide the potential of a heavenly body like this.


    However, based on Hua Rui''s words, the person who valued her should be very old already.


    However, these were not things that Lin Tian cared about. What Lin Tian was truly worried about was why did that person bring Hua Ruyi to the Demon Spirit Realm?


    "Originally, I didn''t know why he brought me to the Demon Spirit Realm. But then, I heard a conversation between him and Elder Jiang." Hua Ruyi continued.


    Elder Jiang was the head deacon of the Clear Mystery Pavilion, and also the person who picked up Hua Ruyi. Elder Jiang had raised Hua Ruyi, so Elder Jiang agreed to that person''s request.


    "That person said something about the true Phoenix bloodline, the fusing of dragons and phoenixes, and more. He also said something about making me his concubine ¡­" At this point, Hua Ruyi''s face had already turned red.


    Lin Tian''s face immediately became gloomy: "True Phoenix bloodline, fused dragon and phoenix?"


    He never thought that this matter would actually have something to do with the Cloud Phoenix, especially those things about the True Phoenix bloodline and the fusion of the dragon and phoenix. Wasn''t it about the Cloud Phoenix that he was talking about?


    Back then, when Yun Huang left Tian Luo and returned to the Demon Spirit Realm, she had told Lin Tian about this matter, saying that the High Priest of the True Phoenix Clan had always been looking for a successor with the bloodline of a True Dragon, allowing Yun Huang to dual cultivate with him ¡­


    Now, did he really meet such a person?


    The person who had taken a fancy to Hua Ruyi must be someone who possessed the Dragon clan''s bloodline. However, what was the purpose of him buying Hua Ruyi?


    Isn''t that easy? Boy, are you stupid?" This little girl is born with a beautiful body and is a top-notch furnace. If she can cultivate with him, then his talent will be limitless, and if that person truly possesses a True Dragon bloodline, then, if he uses this little girl as his furnace, then this little girl will be able to help him completely purify the True Dragon bloodline within his body. When that time comes, once his True Dragon bloodline has been purified to a certain degree, he can naturally enter the eyes of the True Phoenix Clan''s High Priest.


    Hornless obviously knew more about these things.


    "So that''s how it is!" Lin Tian immediately understood. Damn, they really did hit Yun Huang''s body.


    The reason why Lin Tian was working so hard was originally for Yun Huang. Yun Huang said that when Lin Tian''s strength reached the Emperor Stage, he would ask Lin Tian to find her.


    Thus, Lin Tian had been diligently cultivating.


    But now there was actually someone paying attention to Yun Huang, Lin Tian naturally could not tolerate it, a dragon had a reverse scale, touching it meant certain death! Initially, above the nightmare, when he saw Yun Huang being trapped, his heart was already as sharp as a knife. No matter who it was, if they were to hurt Yun Huang, Lin Tian would do everything he could to kill them.


    No one was an exception. No one was an exception.


    Lin Tian''s face suddenly became gloomy, causing Hua Ruoyi to be puzzled. She simply did not know why Lin Tian would suddenly have such a huge reaction.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly met Hua Ruyi''s gaze. He then firmly said: "I''ll be taking care of your matters!"


    She did not know why Lin Tian had suddenly undergone such a huge change. Just a moment ago, she was still talking about whether Lin Tian was related or not, so she naturally would not meddle in other people''s business. But now, she suddenly wanted to help her.


    At this moment, Hua Ruyi felt her heart beating wildly. She was afraid that Lin TianAo would say something like "like her" at that moment.


    But Lin Tian said: "Miss Hua, thank you very much. If you say these things, I still do not know and this matter is actually related to Yun Huang, so, in the next half a month, if that person comes, I hope that Miss Flower can let me know as soon as possible!"


    Hua Ruyi was startled, but immediately lowered her head. She then silently recited the name that Lin Tian had just said: "Yun Huang?"


    "Is she your fianc¨¦e?" Hua Ruyi mustered her courage and looked towards Lin Tian.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    She knew that the reason Lin Tian said it was because of you, but I was determined to not do it because of her. It was because the person who had his eyes on him was related to his fianc¨¦e.


    Lin Tian did it for his fiancee, not for her ¡­


    Hua Ruyi''s heart suddenly tightened. She felt as if she had lost something extremely precious. Moreover, that item no longer belonged to her.


    She didn''t know why she suddenly felt this way. Lin Tian had said that he would help her, so she should be very happy. But the current her, no matter what, she couldn''t be happy at all.


    Her heart ached. Had she fallen for him?


    Why did his heart feel so uncomfortable? It was empty, as if he had lost something precious.


    She was also very strange. Why did she have such a feeling? She had only met Lin Tian today, and she already liked him?


    Was it because of the words he had said just now, that he was too moved, or because Lin Tian had ignored her beauty and moved her by loving his fiancee deeply.


    Hua Ruyi didn''t even know, she only knew that she was currently in a difficult situation.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it, but as long as it was something related to Yun Huang, he was determined to deal with it.


    Tomorrow, the third round of Qingzhou Academy''s preliminaries would officially begin. Lin Tian did not say anymore and directly said: "Miss Hua, if there is nothing else, please return. Tomorrow, I have more important things to do ¡­ ¡­"


    "Since that''s the case, then I won''t disturb Sir Lin any longer." Hua Rui immediately understood Lin Tian''s meaning and directly left Lin Tian''s room.


    Lin Tian himself repeatedly pondered over this matter in his heart, but he could not come up with a single reason. Towards the person that he had taken a fancy to, Lin Tian did not have a single clue in his heart. He did not even know who that person was, so he naturally did not know how to deal with him.


    However, after experiencing many things, Lin Tian was not too worried. There was still half a month left, and no one knew what would happen. Right now, the most important thing was to properly prepare for tomorrow''s third round of the preliminaries.


    Lin Tian more or less knew a bit about the Qingzhou Academy''s third round of preliminaries.


    The third round of the selection competition was a competition of true strength. The genius disciples from the first two rounds were currently competing together, but Lin Tian did not know how exactly they were going to compete because every year''s selection method was different.


    However, the only thing he could be certain of was that he was going to fight with the most outstanding genius in the Azure Continent!

 C118

    On the second day, early in the morning, Lin Tian left the Clear Pavilion. He thought he had woken up early enough so he wouldn''t disturb them.


    But as soon as Lin Tian stepped out of the door, he saw Jiang Liu''er, as well as Hua Ruyi and a few maids guarding the door.


    "Good luck, Brother Tian!" Jiang Liu''er waved her hand towards Lin Tian, then made a gesture to cheer him on.


    Hua Ruyi also smiled coquettishly as she looked at Lin Tian. Then, she softly said: "Be careful during the third round of the preliminaries. I''ll be waiting for you to return."


    Lin Tian nodded his head. Just as he was about to leave, the servant girl Xiao Lan carried a storage bag and gave it to Lin Tian.


    He did not know what this meant, but he suddenly heard Hua Ruyi saying: "This is the commission for the beast core from yesterday. Although you sold it to our Clear Pavilion, you have long since exceeded the price we gave you. Take these spirit stones, if you participate in the third round of the selection, you will not be able to keep them without spirit stones in your possession."


    Only then did Lin Tian react. Yesterday, they had indeed cheated the Tianluo Chamber of Commerce''s Mister Hu for several tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.


    The more spirit stones, the better. He was not afraid of the more, especially the third round where he had to participate in the selection, there would definitely be one after another fierce battles. Naturally, the consumption of spirit stones was also enormous, and without enough spirit stones, Lin Tian felt a little uneasy.


    Lin Tian waved his hand. He did not stay any longer and directly left.


    Lin Tian refused Jiang Liu''er''s Lin Ma. Instead, he decided to use the God Transforming Steps to head from the west city to the east city. This distance would be taken as a warm-up.


    When Lin Tian arrived at the Azure Province Academy, he discovered that it only took him an hour.


    Currently, a large number of people were gathered in front of the Azure Province Academy. Looking at the appearance of the crowd, almost all of them were people who had come to participate in the Azure Province''s third round of selection.


    Many of them were at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm or above.


    Lin Tian remained silent as he lightly stood in the middle of the crowd, quietly waiting for the third round of selection to begin.


    Not long after, a teacher finally walked out. Lin Tian looked at the teacher and immediately recognized him. Wasn''t that teacher the teacher who was in charge of the Golden Ranking last time?


    The instructor''s face was full of smiles as he looked at the student standing in front of the academy''s gate. He then cleared his throat and shouted, "Silence!"


    The originally bustling crowd instantly quietened down. At this moment, everyone''s gazes were cast onto the instructor.


    "Everyone, I am your guide for this trial, Lei Yan. This time, when you enter the training field, I will be the one to receive you. Please listen to my price rules now." Instructor Lei Yan''s voice was extremely loud and clear, resounding throughout the entire student body.


    Everyone immediately concentrated and listened carefully.


    "The third round of the preliminaries this time is split into two parts. The first part is the hunt, and the second part is the arena battle! In a while, you will have to enter the training field of the hunting competition.


    As Lei Yan spoke, he once again took out the day''s ranking.


    The Golden Ranking was unfurled, and rays of golden light immediately enveloped everyone.


    "The rules of the hunting competition are the demon beasts in the hunting grounds. In the end, the competition will be held, and the demon beasts obtained will rank in the front. At the end of the competition, according to the final results of the two rounds, the candidate who will enter the Azure Province Academy will be selected." After he finished speaking, Lei Yan shouted at the crowd, "Do you all understand?"


    "Understood!" Everyone replied loudly.


    Some of the students were still discussing. Lin Tian listened attentively for a moment before realizing what they were talking about. Without exception, everyone was saying that they hadn''t changed ¡­


    It seemed that many people had done their homework before, but the rules were still the same. Could it be that this year''s rules were the same as last year''s?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s gaze turned towards that lightning flame.


    At this moment, Lei Yan looked at the many students in the arena discussing with each other, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up into a strange smile. That smile instantly let Lin Tian notice the aura of a conspiracy ¡­ ¡­


    It definitely won''t be that simple. How could the rules of the Azure Province Academy be the same as last year? This teacher must have something to hide.


    While Lin Tian was thinking this, an extremely dazzling golden light suddenly flashed on the leaderboard and pierced towards the crowd. The crowd immediately felt their vision blur, and in the next moment, when their eyes returned to normal, they suddenly discovered that they had arrived in another world.


    Tall trees that reached into the sky and mountains that covered the horizon. It was unknown when they had already left the gates of the Azure Province Academy.


    "Little fellows, welcome to the stadium!" At this moment, an elderly voice was suddenly heard.


    Just as everyone was shocked, an extremely large stage suddenly appeared before them. On the stage stood an old man.


    Looking at the bewildered expressions on everyone''s faces, the old man smiled and said, "Little kids, just call me Elder Xiao. I am the examiner of this training field and the guardian of this training field."


    With that, Elder Xiao took out a storage bag.


    It''s also the only way for you to communicate with me. Each of you, each one of you, if you are in this testing ground and are facing a life threatening danger, crush this jade slip. I will sense it and you will be directly sent to this stone platform. Elder Xiao''s voice was loud and clear, and everyone present was puzzled. What was the meaning behind giving a jade slip?


    Could it be that there was actually a life threatening danger in this training ground?


    When everyone put away the jade slip, Elder Xiao added another sentence, "Also, in this hunt, there are no rules. The only criterion is the number of demonic beasts. In other words, our final result is only the number of demonic beasts in your hand. No matter what method you use ¡­"


    Elder Xiao''s words completely ignited the crowd''s emotions. Their intentions were very clear. Hunting a demon beast was one way, but there was another way. It was to rob and rob as much as possible.


    This was good news for the strong, especially the rank 4 students. However, for the weak students, this was bad news.


    As everyone was still thinking about how to deal with this, Elder Xiao once again said, "I almost forgot, in this year''s training field, there is still a peak Rank 4 Demonic Beast, which is equivalent to a martial artist at the ninth level of the Astral Realm. Wishing you good luck!"


    "What?"


    "Peak of Fourth Order!" Everyone cried out in alarm.


    But it was also at this moment that Elder Xiao roared again, "The trial only has one day left. From now on, you all only have less than eight hours left. Little brats, don''t just stand there. There are limited amounts of demonic beasts inside. Don''t come back empty-handed. That wouldn''t look good ¡­"


    Elder Xiao said again. The crowd immediately scattered, afraid that they would fall behind.


    "BOOM!" At this moment, a bell sound resounded throughout the entire stadium. The hunt had officially begun!

 C119

    Lin Tian saw the crowd quickly scatter and did not think too much about it. He turned around and also rushed into the dense forest.


    "It''s actually the small world ¡­" As Lin Tian was running, he suddenly heard this kind of voice coming from the Divine Manor. It was none other than the voice of the Horned Demon.


    "Small Qiankun World?" Lin Tian slightly froze, then he had some doubts.


    "This is a world condensed by the will of the strong. In other words, this was originally a unique domain created by the strong with their own power of laws." Horned Demon introduced.


    "Domain, rules?" Lin Tian was even more confused.


    "What a frog in the well." Horned Demon shook his head and sighed, then explained, "On the path of martial arts, Qi Cultivation, Qi Opening Sea, Jindan Formation, Star River Transformation, Dawn of Life and Death, Seizing Good Fortune, Emperor''s Seal, Heaven and Earth God Realm, Supreme God King, these are all the most basic realms. Above them are the Life and Death Realm, the Creation Realm, the Emperor Realm, the Saint Realm, the God Realm, and the Supreme God King ¡­"


    "Reaching the Emperor Realm allows one to open up their own domain in the body of a martial artist. Reaching the Saint Realm allows one to comprehend the power of laws. Saints can transform every single move they make into the laws of existence ¡­"


    Horned Demon''s explanation widened Lin Tian''s horizons. Previously, he only knew Qi Cultivation, Qi Sea, Jindan Stage, and Xinghe Stage, but he didn''t know that there were actually so many other realms. In that case, it wasn''t wrong for Horned Demon to call him a frog in the well since he was only at the seventh level of the Qi Sea.


    But now that Lin Tian knew that he was still a long way from reaching the Emperor Realm, he needed to work harder. After all, there was still Yun Huang waiting for him ¡­


    But at this time, Lin Tian also understood what Horned Demon said about the little world. He couldn''t help but ask: "You''re saying that the world here was formed by a saint using his own strength?"


    "Yes." Hornless nodded.


    "This, there were still Saints in Tian Luo Country before this?" Lin Tian unbelievably opened his mouth. How was this possible?


    Currently, Tian Luo Country''s most powerful existence was only at the ninth level of the Star River Realm. For example, the principal of the Five Great Academies, and the king of the Luo Kingdom.


    "That might not be true. This little universe is indeed a world condensed by sage realm experts, but that saint might not be someone from Tian Luo Kingdom!" Horned Demon shook his head and replied.


    "He is not a saint from the Tian Luo Kingdom, what does that mean?" Lin Tian puzzledly asked again.


    "Brat, you''re really stupid." Horned Demon unhappily scolded, "A saint has his limits. If a saint were to die, then the small universe he formed would not dissipate, and would naturally stay behind. It''s normal for someone to take this small universe away."


    "If you put it this way, this little world is like a treasure." Lin Tian clicked his tongue in wonder. Above the stadium, there was the same sky and the same real earth, but it was actually formed by martial dao power.


    This method was simply unimaginable.


    "It''s fine to call it a treasure." Horned Demon nodded his head and said, "Alright, in this little universe, it''s no different from the outside world. The time is the same, you should hurry up and hunt, otherwise you''ll be eliminated this time. Don''t forget, you''re the only student of the sixth rank, the son of heaven''s pride!"


    "Got it." Lin Tian did not waste any more words and directly rushed into the depths of the forest.


    He completely released his psychic power and began to sense the surroundings. Once there were any fluctuations from the demon beasts, he would immediately be able to detect them.


    Not long after, the soul in Lin Tianshui''s residence slightly shook. Lin Tian immediately restrained his aura and hid behind a huge tree.


    Not long after, a demon beast that seemed to have gone mad rushed over crazily. That demon beast had a very strong killing intent, it was obviously a vicious beast. Lin Tian felt the rank of the demon beast, it was a Rank 3 Rank 1 demon beast, a powerhouse at the first level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    Boundless Essence Qi began to surge within Lin Tian''s body. After which, it quickly gathered in his hand. The overflowing Essence Qi crazily surged and in the next moment, he made his move.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian directly blasted out a palm.


    Boom! Boom! The palm strike condensed from powerful Yuan energy instantly blasted apart the demonic beast''s body. That demonic beast abruptly retreated to the side, collapsing onto the ground.


    Lin Tian was somewhat happy in his heart. This Demonic Beast was not as difficult to kill as he had imagined.


    But just when Lin Tian thought that the demon beast was completely dead and walked in front of it, wanting to put it away, the demon beast suddenly jumped up and opened its mouth, wanting to bite at Lin Tian.


    "Damn, even demonic beasts know how to feign death?" Lin Tian was startled, but in the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand appeared.


    The dragon scale spear shot out like a dragon and a green spear instantly swept towards the demonic beast.


    However, when the spear light landed on the demonic beast''s body, it was as if it had smashed into an incomparably hard rock, producing an extremely clear sound of impact.


    Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear trembled and almost slipped out of his hand.


    "What a tough beast!" Lin Tian silently cursed as his figure continuously retreated a few steps before stabilizing his body.


    However, at this time, Lin Tian also discovered that even though the demon beast''s skin was incomparably tough, the spear just now still pierced through its skin, creating a small wound.


    At this moment, blood was continuously flowing out of the wound.


    But precisely because of this, the demon beast''s blood was completely stimulated. The demon beast crazily roared and once again charged towards Lin Tian.


    "I don''t believe that I could pass the 18th level of the Exquisite Pagoda when I was only at the 5th level of the Qi Hai realm. Now that I''m at the 7th level of the Qi Hai realm, won''t I be able to kill a 3rd level, 1st level beast like you?" Lin Tian did not hold back and used the God Transforming Steps to dodge the demon beast''s attack. He turned around, and with another shake of the Dragon Scale Spear, he thrust towards the demon beast.


    "Bang, bang, bang." When the Dragon Scale Spear attacked the demonic beast''s body, it continuously let out a clear sound and the demonic beast''s hard body was also pierced through one bloody hole after another by Lin Tian.


    The demon beast kept roaring, but it couldn''t do anything because it couldn''t get close to Lin Tian''s body. With the help of the God Transforming Steps, Lin Tian was extremely nimble and the demon beast couldn''t even touch him.


    Not long after, the Demonic Beast fell to the ground with some unwillingness. Blood flowed from its body, dyeing the surrounding ground red.


    Lin Tian wiped the sweat off his head and then lightly smiled: "A Rank 3 Demonic Beast should be stronger than most people."


    Lin Tian was just about to walk forward and put the corpse of the demon beast into his storage ring.


    Not far away, a voice suddenly rang out, "Kid, put down the demon beast in your hand. Of course, there''s also that spear!"


    Lin Tian''s face darkened and the movements of his hands started to slow down. He turned around and looked around. He didn''t know when, but there were already seven to eight fifth level Qi Hai students surrounding him.

 C120

    Lin Tian''s eyes immediately narrowed. Needless to say, he knew that these people had specially formed a group to steal the demon beast he had just killed.


    A person at the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm should be a level 2 student. Their strength should be neither high nor low. Therefore, it was definitely a good idea to form a team to obtain the final victory in the hunt.


    When seven or eight of them were together, they would be able to fight even if they met an eighth or ninth level Qi Hai warrior, not to mention a seventh level Qi Hai warrior like Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had probably been targeted by them for a long time.


    However, targeting Lin Tian was not a good thing because Lin Tian''s strength was not something they could afford to offend.


    "You want the gun in my hand?" Lin Tian suddenly laughed and then looked at the seven or eight people around him as he laughed.


    "That''s right. Hand over the spear in your hand and the Demonic Beast. We will not make things difficult for you. If you do not hand it over, don''t blame me for being rude ¡­" The person in the lead was at the 6th level of the Qi Hai realm. Everyone followed him, and at this moment, the student''s eyes revealed a hint of greed. He clearly knew that the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand was not ordinary.


    "There were a lot of people who wanted to beat me up with this gun in the past." Lin Tian smiled and then looked at the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. He changed the subject and said: "However, the people who had ideas on it all died ¡­ ¡­"


    "Be careful!" The leader immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to remind the people behind him.


    But it was too late to remind him now because Lin Tian had already made his move.


    Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and appeared in front of the person in the lead.


    Lin Tian''s speed was too fast, so fast that no one could react. Lin Tian''s palm had already landed on the leader''s body.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" The monstrous palm force instantly exploded on his body.


    Ah!" The person screamed as his body was sent flying. Then, he fell limply to the ground.


    The strength of one palm strike had actually blasted away an expert at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. This attack from Lin Tian immediately stunned everyone.


    Especially since the person who exploded with Lin Tian''s palm was the person in the lead. When the person in the lead fell, everyone panicked and they looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to move.


    Although the person in the lead was blasted apart by Lin Tian''s palm, he was not directly killed, he was only seriously injured.


    Lin Tian''s spearpoint went straight to that person''s throat, then he coldly asked: "Say it, do you want to die or do you want to live?"


    "Zu, zu ¡­" How could he have provoked such a fiend. However, since he had provoked Lin Tian, he could only blame his bad luck. Naturally, he did not want to die, and there was still a chance for him to survive.


    "Alright, let''s get out of this. Hand over all your storage rings." Lin Tian coldly looked at everyone.


    Killing was not allowed in the stadium. Lin Tian originally did not plan to kill them. He only wanted them to hand over enough money.


    Everyone''s faces were ashen. This was good. They had originally wanted to rob Lin Tian, but this time, Lin Tian didn''t rob them. Instead, they were robbed by Lin Tian.


    They all knew that if they didn''t hand over their storage rings, with Lin Tian''s spear, they would all die. After all, Lin Tian could destroy their leader, a sixth level Qi Hai realm student, with a single palm.


    Without the slightest hesitation, everyone took out their storage rings and threw them at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "That''s right."


    After sweeping away everyone''s storage rings, leaving behind a pile of empty storage rings, Lin Tian snorted: "What are you still standing there for? Scram!"


    Everyone awkwardly pulled the person who was originally leading them, took away their storage rings, and quickly escaped from this place.


    This time, the harvest was quite good. Not only did they kill a Rank 3 Demonic Beast, those people from before also had quite a few good things in their storage rings. Especially those pretty expensive Spirit Stones, which were what Lin Tian needed the most right now.


    But now, no matter what it was, it all belonged to Lin Tian.


    But after Lin Tian left, not long after, a person walked out from not too far away. That person was dressed in black, and his gaze was cold, it was clear that he had stayed here for a very long time, and had naturally witnessed all of Lin Tian''s actions just now. At this moment, the black clothed person slightly smiled: "Interesting, a seventh level of the Qi Hai realm fighting an existence at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Saying that, the black-clothed person fell into deep thought. But after thinking for a while, the black-clothed person did not have any clues. He shook his head and followed in the direction that Lin Tian left in.


    If he could find another Rank 3 Demonic Beast, he would be close. Two Rank 3 Demonic Beasts were enough for Lin Tian to stand out in the hunting competition and successfully advance, to be honest, Lin Tian''s current goal was only to advance into the next rank. Regarding the ranking and so on, Lin Tian already did not care much about it.


    In the second round of the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial, he had already proven himself. He was the only student of rank 6 in the past thousand years, and was also the son of a heaven''s pride expert. This was enough to prove Lin Tian''s potential.


    So as long as he could advance, Lin Tian did not have many hopes. However, Lin Tian was still a bit interested in that peak fourth stage demon beast.


    The fundamental reason was the egg in his body. Horned Demon once said that the egg in his body needed to be raised before it could completely break out of its shell. If he wanted to raise it, he would need a demon beast at the fifth level or above.


    That peak rank 4 beast might be slightly weaker than a rank 5 beast, but it was still only a sliver and might be useful.


    If he could kill another Rank 3 Demonic Beast, Lin Tian wouldn''t search for other Demonic Beasts and would directly search for the peak Rank 4 Demonic Beast.


    However, Lin Tian also knew that he might not be able to kill the peak of the fourth step demonic beast, but he still had to give it a try. After all, he had the God Transforming Steps, so he didn''t need to worry about escaping.


    Just as he was thinking, Lin Tian suddenly felt the aura of the black-clothed person behind him again.


    From the start, Lin Tian discovered the black-clothed person. However, that black-clothed person did not make a move, so Lin Tian didn''t pay any attention to him. But right now, he was actually relentlessly chasing and even following him.


    Although the black-clothed person hid his aura very well and the distance was far enough, his Spirit power far surpassed ordinary people. It was not difficult for the black-clothed person to detect his existence, but he actually thought that he was smart.


    Lin Tian thought of this and no longer hesitated. His figure flashed and then he hid in a large tree. His Spirit power completely wrapped around him, isolating his aura and making it impossible for others to detect him.


    Not long after, as expected, the man in black rushed over. He shouted in surprise, "How is this possible? The aura was clearly here just now. How come it suddenly disappeared now?"


    "Friend, you followed me the entire way, is there anything you need?" Right at this time, Lin Tian''s voice abruptly sounded out.


    "We''ve been discovered!" The black-clothed man''s heart sank!

 C121

    That was not the most important thing. What made that man''s heart sink was another very important reason!


    He didn''t know where the Lin Tian that had made the noise was. In other words, he was completely exposed under Lin Tian''s line of sight, but he didn''t know where Lin Tian was hiding.


    While he was still in shock, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind blow over. He subconsciously turned his head to dodge. In front of him, the sharp spear light cut his face and skin in pain, but in the end, he still dodged Lin Tian''s attack.


    Lin Tian''s attack did not succeed and he was also surprised. However, he did not attack and coldly looked at the black-clothed person.


    "Speak, what is your motive for following me all the way?" Lin Tian''s voice was incomparably cold.


    "You, how did you discover me?" The black-clothed person''s eyes were full of lingering fear. Obviously, he had recovered from Lin Tian''s spear just now. He knew that if that spear just now had directly pierced his body, he would have died without a doubt.


    But in this moment of life and death, it made that person even more suspicious of Lin Tian. Just who was Lin Tian? How did he have such powerful strength?


    "Is it hard to find you?" Lin Tian laughed: "At the beginning, when you watched me kill that Rank 3 Demonic Beast, I had already noticed you. However, since you didn''t attack me, I naturally did not find trouble with you, but after I killed that Demonic Beast and forced that group of people to retreat, you have always been following me. Naturally, I cannot just sit there and watch. At the very least, I need to know why you followed me ¡­."


    "How could you possibly sense my aura?" The man in black muttered to himself. Moments later, as if he had understood something, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted in an earth-shattering manner, "You, you are a Symbol Master!"


    "Congratulations, your guess is correct! "However, there are no rewards. Exactly what is wrong with you? If there''s nothing else, then scram. Don''t follow me anymore. If you continue to follow me, I don''t mind letting you die here." Lin Tian''s eyes surged with a hint of ruthlessness as he coldly spoke to that person.


    Finished speaking, Lin Tian turned his head and was about to leave.


    "Wait a moment." The black-clothed person once again called out to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian turned around and said word by word: "You, are real, are you looking to die?"


    "I, I want to form a team with you ¡­" The man in black shook his head and his face turned red. Finally, he said those words.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled. After which, he carefully sized up the black-clothed person and shook his head: "Not interested!"


    Finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.


    "I know your identity. You''re not a level 5 student, you''re a level 6 student. You''re known as the son of a heaven''s pride expert, right?!" The man in black shouted once again.


    "What do you want?" Lin Tian turned around, his gaze completely focused on the black-clothed person''s body. His voice was abnormally cold, and even the aura on his body started to become ice-cold. This meant that Lin Tian''s anger had reached its peak, as if he could explode at any time.


    "I don''t want to do anything, I just want you to bring me. I''ll take you to a place with many demon beasts!" The black clothed man shook his head and firmly said.


    "What''s your name?" Lin Tian was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked.


    "Du Feng, my name is Du Feng!" The man in black hurriedly replied.


    For some reason, Lin Tian seemed to be very familiar with this name. Presumably, he had heard of this name somewhere before.


    After thinking for a long time, Lin Tian finally thought of something. Back then when the Golden Ranking was released, didn''t the rank 5 student who was also called the student of the Hidden Dragon Institute have a name, Du Feng?


    The reason why Lin Tian remembered this name so clearly was completely because there weren''t many students of the Hidden Dragon Institute. Among them, Gu Yan''er was on top of it, and it could be said that Lin Tian''s mental strength had reached the level of photographic memory. So he naturally remembered this name.


    But what Lin Tian didn''t understand was that the black-clothed person that followed him was actually a student from the Hidden Dragon Institute?


    This was the nature of Hidden Dragon students. They like to follow others?


    When Lin Tian thought of this, he couldn''t help but look at Du Feng a couple more times, then said: "Can I ask you, what''s the purpose of you following me?"


    "I will follow you and advance easily ¡­" Du Feng replied without even thinking about it.


    Lin Tian Deng smiled. These words from Du Feng made it difficult for Lin Tian to refuse ¡­.


    Lin Tian smiled: "If you follow me, it will indeed be easy to advance, but if I am by myself, wouldn''t it be easier to advance? Why should I bring you? "


    "If you bring me along, I can help you find a demon beast!" Du Feng replied.


    "Looking for demon beasts?" Lin Tian smiled: "This doesn''t seem to be difficult. Since I can find it myself, there''s no need for you to worry ¡­ ¡­"


    As he spoke, Lin Tian wanted to leave.


    But Du Feng still faced Lin Tian, "Hey, bring me along, I''m useful, really useful!"


    Lin Tian didn''t reply and only kept walking forward.


    "I have the Heavenly Dao Body. I can communicate with everything in the world. I can help you find the demon beast quickly. I won''t waste any time!" Seeing that Lin Tian did not care about him, Du Feng panicked and directly shouted at Lin Tian.


    "Heaven''s Path Body?" Lin Tian finally stopped walking. Hearing this name, Lin Tian also knew that this person was born with a spirit body, just like the one he had seen before, Gu Yan''er''s natural poison body, and Hua Ruyi''s natural bewitching body.


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything and began communicating with the people in the Divine Manor.


    Horned Demon nodded his head. "It''s indeed the Body of Heaven''s Path. However, this kind of physique is very special, because of their talent, it doesn''t have much use. On the contrary, I feel that it''s a bit useless ¡­"


    "Chicken ribs?" This was the first time that the Horned Demon said that the Heaven''s Spirit Body had a physique with chicken ribs. According to the rules, the true Heaven and Earth spirit body was favored by the heavens, and their talent in cultivation was exceptional. If one practiced martial arts, they could leave those ordinary people in the street, but the Horned Demon said that Du Feng''s physique with heavenly laws was chicken ribs?


    "You also heard about this physique''s talent earlier. It''s to communicate with all living things in the world. Isn''t that useless enough?" Horned Demon laughed and then explained, "This level of physique can''t compare to those powerful physiques, such as the fire body, the innate fire body, and the innate talent to control fire. This level of physique can''t compare to those powerful physiques, such as the fire body, the innate fire body, that has an extremely strong talent, and when you practice fire attributed cultivation techniques, you can also speed up your training speed and your strength can be many times stronger than ordinary people.


    "Actually, in other words, this kind of talent can only be used to accompany each other and find a person with super strong physique. Only with the help of the Heaven''s Path Body can it be used to greater advantage ¡­" Since Horned Demon had explained it this way, Lin Tian understood. No wonder Du Feng wanted to pester him. He had taken a fancy to Lin Tian''s combat strength.


    He was at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, yet he was able to kill a third level first stage demonic beast. From this point of view, Lin Tian''s combat strength was one of the top existences in the entire training field ¡­


    Understanding this point, Lin Tian Deng no longer hesitated and looked at Du Feng with a smile.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s smile, Du Feng immediately felt a bit terrified: "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

 C122

    However, Lin Tian did not reply and continued to smile as he walked towards Du Feng. Du Feng became even more nervous: "You, what are you trying to do ¡­ ¡­"


    Before he could even say the word "what?", Du Feng felt dizzy for a moment. In the next moment, he felt his vision blur, and the surrounding trees started to rapidly retreat. Not long after, he disappeared within the vast, towering trees.


    It turned out that just now, Lin Tian had directly grabbed Du Feng and used the God Transforming Steps to the extreme, directly flying towards the depths of the forest.


    Du Feng took a long time to recover and couldn''t help but ask Lin Tian: "You, where are you bringing me to?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian smiled and said: "Didn''t you want to bring me to look for demon beasts? Didn''t you want to communicate with everything? The time to check on you has come, so you should quickly communicate with me and see where I can find a rank 3 demon beast. I will go complete the entire task for both of us, then take you to the next place."


    "Next place? "Where?" Du Feng couldn''t help but ask.


    "Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and communicate with me then tell me the location. Otherwise, I might accidentally slip and your face will hit the ground ¡­"


    Du Feng trembled in fear and did not dare to ask any further questions. He quickly started to communicate with the others.


    Not long after, Du Feng pointed towards the dense forest in the northeast direction and said: "Over there, there are three Rank 3 and Rank 1 Demonic Beasts ¡­"


    "Three?" Lin Tian was surprised, but without any hesitation, he directly rushed towards the northeast.


    "There are three of them, can you beat them?" Du Feng was doubtful.


    "If you speak any more nonsense, I''ll use you as bait and throw you to those three demon beasts ¡­" Lin Tian unhappily yelled at Du Feng. Du FengDun decisively shut his mouth.


    Although three third level third stage first rank demon beasts were difficult, to Lin Tian, they were nothing at all. Right now, he desperately wanted to fight, and fierce battles were the only way to completely stimulate his potential, not to mention three of them, if it were not for Du Feng, this useless bottle, even if there were ten of them, Lin Tian would not be afraid. At worst, it would just be a battle of attrition.


    However, the trial site''s time was limited, so it was impossible for Lin Tian to endlessly fight with those demon beasts.


    However, three of them were level one of level three and level one. Adding his own one, there was a total of four. Lin Tian''s Du Feng had two each, which was more than enough for them to advance.


    Therefore, they had to capture three third level third stage first stage demon beasts.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and under Du Feng''s guidance, he increased his speed. As they got closer and closer to the forest, Lin Tian''s speed slowly slowed down. He completely released his mental energy and carefully examined the situation in front of him.


    When Lin Tian''s mental strength sensed the location of the three demon beasts, Lin Tian Deng immediately lightened his footsteps, found a concealed location, and directly hid Du Feng. After that, he quickly searched for a location and found an opportunity to strike, it was already impossible to break through the three demon beasts. Just now, Du Feng had told him that the three demon beasts were not enemies, but accomplices, as for what they wanted to do, Du Feng did not know.


    After observing for a while, Lin Tian finally found an excellent position, the closest demon beast was only ten meters away from him. As long as he attacked with lightning, that demon beast would not be able to dodge in time and would only be able to injure one and injure another. After a while, the pressure on him would be greatly reduced.


    He used his Spirit power to wrap around his body and hide his aura, making it impossible for the monsters to detect him.


    However, at this time, the strange behavior of the three demon beasts had attracted Lin Tian''s attention. From Lin Tian''s point of view, the three demon beasts seemed to be extremely restless, as if they felt danger approaching.


    Lin Tian didn''t move at all as he waited for the best opportunity to make a move.


    After who knows how long had passed, finally, one of the demon beasts made its move. Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly attacked, this was his opportunity, the opportunity was fleeting. If he could not catch it, who knew how long he would have to wait.


    "Bam!" The moment the Heaven Collapsing Palm was released, a stored power instantly surged out and heavily smashed onto the body of the demon beast closest to Lin Tian.


    A strong elemental energy explosion immediately swept towards the demonic beast.


    The demon beast didn''t even have time to react before it was sent flying by Lin Tian''s palm.


    But this movement was too big and immediately attracted the other two monsters. The two monsters directly roared crazily and rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear shook and spear shadows appeared one after another. The spear shadows shook and dispersed into boundless Essence Qi that crazily blasted towards the two Demonic Beasts ¡­


    Lin Tian''s gaze was cold as he quickly stepped forward. His body crazily twisted as he continuously used the Dragon Scale Spear to stab at the demon beast ¡­


    The skin of the demon beasts were extremely hard. In fact, if Lin Tian hadn''t used a Dragon Scale Spear and instead used some other ordinary weapon, Lin Tian definitely wouldn''t have been able to injure these beasts in the slightest.


    However, it was because the Dragon Scale Spear was powerful that it was able to pierce through the tough skins of those Demonic Beasts. Not long later, the bodies of those three Demonic Beasts were filled with all kinds of holes.


    Blood kept flowing out from the three demon beasts'' bodies, but they were, after all, three third-level third-level first-level demon beasts. Although they were injured, their strength was still extraordinary and the injuries seemed to stimulate the fierceness in their bodies.


    Their strength was so great that every time Lin Tian stabbed out with a spear, he would have to endure an extremely intense recoil.


    Not knowing how much time had passed, Lin Tian Deng felt that something wasn''t quite right, because in the middle of the battle, he suddenly discovered that the ground under his feet was trembling nonstop. That kind of situation was as if something had crushed the ground, and also, Lin Tian was sure that the trembling was not caused by his fight with the three demon beasts in front of him.


    Not only that, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest. That must have come from some extremely powerful demon beast.


    "Roar, roar, roar!" That demonic beast let out three earth-shattering cries in succession. It was extremely terrifying.


    But also at this time, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that the three Monstrous Beasts in front of him suddenly began to tremble.


    Before long, their legs began to bend, as if they couldn''t bear the roaring anymore.


    "An opportunity!" Lin Tian''s heart trembled. He made a prompt decision and continued to wave the Dragon Scale Spear. With the interference of the demon beast''s roar, the strength of the three demon beasts in front of him greatly decreased. However, after a while, one of them was killed by Lin Tian''s spear.


    But for some reason, before the monster died, it looked at Lin Tian with an extremely strange expression. That kind of gaze, how could it be said, was very much like a look of relief.


    Just as he was surprised, the ground under his feet was shaking more and more violently. Lin Tian Deng immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    It was at this moment that Du Feng''s anxious shout came from not too far away, "Go, quickly go!"

 C123

    Lin Tian instantly realized that something wasn''t right. Du Feng had the physique of the Heavenly Dao and could communicate with everything in the world, and Du Feng''s current roar could only prove one thing. In this training field, something big was going to happen.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and madly used the God Transforming Steps. Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Du Feng. Without saying anything, Lin Tian directly grabbed it and flew over.


    Although he did not know what had happened, his mental strength was strong enough to sense a lot of things.


    There was going to be a large change in the forest. This was Lin Tian''s first thought.


    As expected, on the way back, Du Feng also said these words.


    However, Du Feng clearly knew more than Lin Ming. This was because Du Feng had clearly said what could happen in the forest next. It was none other than the monster tide!


    "Beast tide!" Lin Tian''s face instantly underwent an intense change. He understood the meaning of these two words.


    He never thought that the training grounds would actually be so dangerous and that there would be a beast tide. However, Lin Tian was also suspicious in his heart. Why would there be a beast tide not long after they entered the training grounds?


    Could it be a deliberate arrangement by the Azure Province Academy?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately remembered the words of the Elder Xiao who was in charge of this assessment: "In this training field, it is far more dangerous than you can imagine. Therefore, that jade chip is extremely important.


    Now that he thought about it, it should have been arranged by the Azure Province Academy.


    As he calculated in his heart, Lin Tian''s speed did not slow down in the slightest. Instead, he crazily dashed forward. But not long after, the entire ground began to tremble violently.


    The towering trees began to sway. At the same time, endless demon beast roars could be heard coming from the depths of the forest.


    Along the way, Lin Tian discovered countless demon beasts madly running by themselves. However, those demon beasts were in a hurry, as if they didn''t see Lin Tian. Lin Tian was happy that these demon beasts didn''t come looking for him.


    Right now, he only had one goal in mind, and that was to escape to a safe place.


    With Du Feng here, this goal wasn''t difficult to achieve. Du Feng could practically accurately predict where there would be demonic beasts.


    So on the way, Lin Tian borrowed Du Feng''s power and dodged a few waves of demon beasts.


    With this, Lin Tian didn''t need to be distracted by using his own Spirit power to investigate what was in front of him. He focused on escaping, but after who knows how long, Du Feng suddenly stopped talking.


    "Where are you going? Where are you going?" Just now, he and Du Feng were running this way, without any hesitation or hesitation. Du Feng didn''t wait for Lin Tian to ask and directly told Lin Tian the direction, but a long time had passed, and Du Feng didn''t make a single sound. This caused Lin Tian to be surprised, and in the end, he couldn''t help but ask.


    "Run back, quick!" In the next moment, Du Feng replied, however, Du Feng''s situation scared Lin Tian because currently, Du Feng''s face was full of savageness and he looked extremely terrifying. But right now, in this state, Lin Tian was even more uneasy.


    Lin Tian''s figure immediately stopped and he ran back without hesitation.


    "Roar, roar, roar!" Not long after Lin Tian left his original location, waves of roars from demon beasts could be heard.


    "Knock knock knock ¡­" The earth trembled violently. Everything around him could feel the vibrations caused by the Great Earth Mountain.


    "Kacha, kacha." The huge tremors caused countless towering trees to break at the waist.


    Hiss, hiss. Even the sound produced from underground seemed to be extremely weak.


    "This is?" Lin Tian became more and more uneasy. Right now the situation was too strange. In the stadium, what was going to happen?


    "Roar! Roar! Roar!" The fierce roaring still continued, and it seemed that it was getting closer and closer to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian madly rushed forward, but on the way, Lin Tian met many other students. These students were all alarmed by the movement in the forest, and then madly fled.


    Some of the students even crushed the jade slips in their hands and turned into streaks of light, teleporting them away.


    Although it was important to enter the Azure Province Academy, the most important thing was to protect his own life.


    At this time, Lin Tian turned around to take a look, but it was only this look that made Lin Tian unable to help himself from sucking in a breath of cold air.


    Too terrifying!


    Behind Lin Tian, there were currently countless demon beasts crazily running. The ranks of the demon beasts were not the same, but their eyes were all burning with light as they crazily rushed towards Lin Tian''s direction.


    This was the first time Lin Tian had seen such a terrifying monster tide. Compared to the monster tide in front of him, the experience he had in the Green Cliff Mountain was nothing.


    "Why did the demonic beasts in this training field suddenly go crazy?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    Logically speaking, the goal of this training field was only to compete in the potential of disciples. However, what was the purpose of this beast tide that had just appeared?


    Facing such a mighty tide of demonic beasts, anyone who encountered it would have only one choice, and that was to escape.


    If they could escape fast, they could still escape. However, if they couldn''t escape fast, then they could only become minced meat underneath the feet of those demonic beasts.


    At this moment, there were a few cracks on the ground. Clearly, it was unable to withstand the trampling of the huge wave of Demonic Beasts.


    At this time, Lin Tian couldn''t care less. As he crazily ran forward, he asked Du Feng how he should settle this matter.


    However, along the way, Lin Tian also saw that some of the students weren''t prepared to crush the jade chip and wanted to waste a bit of time with the demonic beasts, but not everyone had Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps. Before they ran for more than a few steps, some of the students caught up to the demonic beasts and directly stepped on them, turning them into meat paste.


    And from the time Lin Tian discovered that something was off until now, in a short span of a few moments, the demonic beast horde had become vast and mighty. With the force of pulling apart dead leaves, it rushed towards the center of the training grounds.


    Lin Tian also discovered this situation. These monsters weren''t running around aimlessly, but they had a destination. Their destination was impressively the center of the training field.


    "What in the world is attracting these demonic beasts?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but mutter to himself.


    But in the next moment, a voice suddenly came from the Divine Palace, completely helping Lin Tian clear his doubts: "That peak Fourth Stage Demonic Beast is right in the center of the stadium."


    "What?" He did not expect that the peak of the fourth step demonic beast would actually be at the center of the training field ¡­


    "Brat, this is a chance, don''t miss it." Horned Demon''s voice came again.


    "A lucky chance? What lucky chance?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "That peak rank 4 beast is about to evolve into a rank 5 beast ¡­" There was a trace of regret in Hornless''s voice.


    But this voice was undoubtedly a huge surprise to Lin Tian.


    "Rank 5 beast!" A hint of joy flashed through Lin Tian''s eyes.

 C124

    Rank 5 demon beast, to Lin Tian, it was definitely a lucky chance. He remembered that the Horned Demon from before said that the egg in his body needed to be raised by a rank 5 demon beast in order to hatch.


    To be honest, the most mysterious thing in Lin Tian''s body, other than the Dragon Transformation token, belonged to this egg.


    Lin Tian was extremely anxious to know what kind of secret was hidden within the egg.


    Rank 5 Demonic Beasts were actually quite hard to find. Not every time, they would be able to obtain an Cyan Roc egg with heaven-defying luck ¡­


    So when a Rank 5 Demonic Beast appeared in this place, Lin Tian''s first emotion was joy, right, incomparable joy.


    Then, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn''t help but ask, "Could it be that this sudden beast wave is related to the Rank 5 Demonic Beast that you were talking about?"


    "Aren''t you so stupid ¡­" It was unknown whether Horned Demon was insulting or praising Lin Tian.


    But, what does this have to do with a Fourth Stage demonic beast that is about to evolve into a Fifth Stage demonic beast? With these demonic beasts ¡­" Saying this, Lin Tian immediately thought of a possibility. This was something that he had suddenly thought of while he was speaking. That''s right, if there really was a connection, then it must be ¡­


    "Yes, these demonic beasts are here to watch the evolution of the demonic beast. Moreover, once the peak rank 4 beast successfully evolves, it would become a beast king. Therefore, these demonic beasts are also here to pay their respects." Horned Demon''s voice came again.


    Lin Tian''s heart abruptly "thumped" before saying in his heart: "As expected, in the end, I guessed correctly ¡­"


    That''s right, the hierarchy between the demonic beasts and the human cultivators was extremely strict.


    Each rank of demonic beast corresponded to the realm of human cultivators.


    Rank 1 corresponded to Qi Disciple stage, Rank 2 to Qi Hai stage, Rank 3 to Jindan stage, Rank 4 to Xinghe stage. As for Rank 5, it corresponded to the Star River stage and above, Life and Death stage experts. This kind of demonic beast was also known as a "king" stage demonic beast.


    He did not expect that there would be one like this in the training ground. Of course, the current beast was not a beast king, as it was only at the peak of the fourth step. Thinking about it though, the peak of the fourth step beast had probably evolved somewhere, otherwise, it would not have caused the beast tide.


    The reason that caused such strange changes like the beast tide was because of the rules of the world of demon beasts. In fact, it couldn''t be said to be a rule among demon beasts. Humans also had such rules.


    That was to say that the strong were revered, while the demonic beasts revered this sort of Heavenly Dao law even more.


    Therefore, the reason why these demon beasts were so crazily flying was because they wanted to pay their respects!


    Yes, the worship of all beasts!


    They were going to pay their respects to the beast king who was about to evolve into a Class 5 beast!


    After understanding this level, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate any longer and directly crazily rushed towards the center of the stadium. Right now, the direction these demon beasts were heading towards was towards the location of the demon beast that was going to evolve into a beast king.


    At the same time, in the Heaven and Earth of the stadium, thunder suddenly descended, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the sound of crackling could be heard without end, almost everywhere it was, a sudden clap of thunder suddenly descended, instantly chopping a tree not far from Lin Tian into a pile of charcoal.


    Countless demon beasts were also struck by the lightning. They couldn''t even dodge in time and directly turned into ashes.


    "Thunder, this, how is this possible?" Du Feng, who was being held by Lin Tian, shouted in a daze.


    "What do you know?" Lin Tian slightly froze before asking.


    "This is lightning from the sky. That Monstrous Beast ¡­ That Monstrous Beast is definitely not an ordinary Monstrous Beast. After this evolution, it can greatly increase its strength, even change its bloodline. That''s why it attracted the punishment of lightning!" Du Feng possessed the Body of Heaven''s Path. Let''s not talk about his physique, but with the ability to communicate with the heaven and earth, Lin Tian could be considered to have thoroughly experienced it ¡­


    So when Du Feng said these words, Lin Tian was able to hear Du Feng''s worry.


    Worried about their lives, of course.


    Originally, the existence of a peak rank 4 beast in this training field was nothing because they had a life-saving jade slip. Moreover, once they saw a peak rank 4 beast, they could just run away.


    However, that was not the case now. If this peak Rank 4 Demonic Beast really changed its fate as Du Feng had said, who knew how strong it would become. Moreover, even if Elder Xiao attacked, it would still not be a match for that Rank 5 Demonic Beast.


    This way, it would be somewhat terrifying. As students who had entered the stadium, it was very likely that they would all lose their lives here!


    Lin Tian immediately thought of the crux of the matter. He didn''t dare to guarantee that he could survive under the hands of a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, especially since it was a Demonic Beast that had unexpectedly attracted the heavenly thunder punishment ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s eyebrows broke out in a cold sweat. He was just thinking of being happy earlier, but he did not think of this question, but it was too late to regret it now. He had been conversing with them while frantically rushing forward.


    Furthermore, the closer they got to the center of the stadium, the slower the Demonic Beasts became. Their voices also became deeper and no longer sounded as if they were going berserk.


    Lin Tian felt the change in the demon beast and also slowed down his speed. At this time, an enormous dark cloud condensed in the sky and dense black clouds covered the entire central region. Thunder rumbled and exploded in the horizon; it was extremely terrifying.


    Lin Tian carefully continued forward. The difference between him and Lin Tian was that those demon beasts did not dare to continue walking forward. Each one of them started to spin around as if they were waiting for something.


    However, this made Lin Tian sigh in relief. The demonic beast''s size was enormous, but the human''s size was extremely small. Thus, using the nearby trees to hide his tracks did not alarm any demonic beasts.


    All the Demonic Beasts were currently focused on the black cloud in the sky. Evidently, those Demonic Beasts could feel how terrifying and frightening the lightning energy within the black cloud was.


    Each and every one of them was trembling. In their eyes, they were both worried and afraid ¡­


    Lin Tian did not pay attention to the changes of the demon beasts and continued to walk inside. He wanted to know what kind of demon beast it was that was about to evolve into a king.


    He had asked earlier, the demon beast in the evolution phase was the weakest. This was also the reason why Lin Tian was so close to the demon beast.


    However, right at this moment, an enormous dark green python suddenly rose from the ground. "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The python continuously flicked its tongue, emitting extremely terrifying hissing sounds.


    Lin Tian''s scalp felt numb. He had not expected that the demonic beast that was going to evolve into a beast king was actually a python!


    "It''s not a python, it''s a fake flood dragon!" At this moment, the face of Horned Demon in the Divine Palace also became a bit grave. "I''m afraid that this beast has obtained some sort of opportunity. Look, a horn is already faintly growing on the top of its head ¡­"


    Lin Tian looked over when he heard this. Sure enough, there were two bulges on the giant python''s head. Presumably, it would soon be the existence of the Flood Dragon ¡­

 C125

    It turned out to be a peak rank 4 beast that was about to transform into a flood dragon!


    Flood Dragons were a type of dragon. For example, one of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon was a Wind Thunder Flood Dragon.


    However, a Flood Dragon could not be called a dragon. A Flood Dragon could only be called a Flood Dragon.


    The dragon and the flood dragon were not the same thing. According to the legends, the flood dragon possessed a trace of the dragon race''s bloodline. However, it was very thin. The flood dragon was actually a type of demon beast.


    But a dragon is still a dragon. A dragon is still a dragon. No matter how much it changes, a dragon cannot become a dragon. Only by consuming the blood of a dragon can it become a dragon!


    This giant python in front of him was a strength transforming flood dragon.


    The dragon was much stronger than the python. Therefore, if this giant python successfully transformed into a dragon, it could be considered a change of fate ¡­


    No wonder it would cause thunder to fall from the sky. Besides, Horned Demon also said that this giant python must have obtained some sort of great opportunity, which was why it chose to transform into a flood dragon when it reached the fifth stage ¡­


    "Rumble, rumble rumble!" The sound of thunder could be heard endlessly in the sky. At the same time, an enormous python soared into the sky, charging towards the black cloud in the sky ¡­


    At this moment, the students who were lucky enough to survive on the training field were all looking up at the sky with faces full of disbelief at the scene before them. Their faces were filled with shock and fear.


    In the next moment, Elder Xiao''s figure disappeared from where he stood. This beast had chosen to evolve at this time; it''s finished, it''s finished, this is really a big deal. If that beast turns into a dragon and succeeds, then wouldn''t all the students in the training field be done for ¡­?


    These were the most powerful students in the history of the Azure Province, and their potential was also the greatest. There were even a few Hidden Dragon students and a Heaven''s Pride student.


    But now, all because of this beast, he was in danger.


    Elder Xiao did not dare to make the decision on his own. He quickly rushed to the back mountain of the Azure Province Institute.


    "What? That beast chose to transform into a flood dragon at this moment!"


    Currently, Gu Qingyuan, the headmaster of the Azure Province Academy, as well as Elder Zhang, who had personally brought the Exquisite Pagoda to test Lin Tian, Lei Yan, as well as Elder Xiao, were sitting around discussing this matter.


    The furious question just now was sent out by Lei Yan.


    "What should we do now, Class 5 Monster Beast? If that bastard really succeeds, then all of our students will suffer ¡­" Elder Zhang''s heart palpitated. This batch of students could be said to be the strongest in the history of the school. There were even a few that possessed the potential to contend for the Hidden Dragon Rank.


    What''s more, there was also a monster that was rarely seen in a thousand years, Lin Tian.


    Thus, this time, they could not afford to lose ¡­


    Gu Qingyuan''s gaze did not change. However, in the next moment, he commanded, "Right now, the four of us will split into four groups and lead a few instructors into the training grounds. Save all those students for me."


    Everyone nodded their heads and immediately started to move. This is already the best way ¡­


    There was no other way.


    After the three of them left, Gu Qingyuan frowned, but the next moment, his brows relaxed as he sneered: "Rank 5 beast?" You want to become king? You still want to break free from the shackles of the small world, but how can I let you do as you wish! "


    Saying that, Gu Qingyuan''s figure weirdly twisted. Something strange happened and Gu Qingyuan''s body actually disappeared, disappearing from the room in a bizarre manner.


    Being the closest location to the giant python, Lin Tian''s heart was also a bit nervous.


    This was the first time he had seen a peak Rank 4 Demonic Beast evolve into a Rank 5 Demonic Beast. However, this was a little too terrifying. This was because when it transformed into a flood dragon, this giant python had also attracted the punishment of the heavens ¡­


    "Boom boom!" Just as Lin Tian was sighing and sighing, a huge sound exploded in the sky.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" Soon after, Lin Tian saw a wave of lightning energy, which was accompanied by an aura of annihilation, crazily strike towards the huge python.


    Although the python''s skin and flesh were abnormally tough, it was unable to withstand the powerful attacks from the lightning.


    "Boom boom!" Another sky-shattering explosion. That enormous python was directly struck by the power of the lightning. It fell to the ground.


    At this moment, the giant python''s entire body was flashing with sparks. Lightning constantly flashed around its body ¡­


    Lin Tian looked and was incomparably shocked. He suddenly discovered that he had underestimated the terrifying power of the thunder punishment. This was only the beginning. A single thunder could directly knock down the giant python. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the power of thunder was.


    However, in the next instant, the python Monstrous Beast flipped over, and like a green dragon, it rushed towards the black clouds in the sky.


    As the giant python Demonic Beast stood up, the power of lightning became even more terrifying. Another terrifying lightning wave directly knocked down the Demonic Beast ¡­


    As the cycle continued, Lin Tian was a bit impressed by the huge python demon beast. Every time it was struck down by the lightning, the huge python demon beast would never give up. On the contrary, it became braver as it madly rushed towards the dark clouds in the sky.


    Just as Lin Tian was watching the giant python fight against the heavenly lightning, Gu Qing Yuan, Lei Yan, Elder Zhang, and Old Xiao all rushed into the training grounds. As Lin Tian was watching the giant python fight the heavenly lightning, Gu Qing Yuan, Lei Yan, Elder Zhang, and Old Xiao all rushed into the training grounds, so they did not need to worry about their strength.


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan''s figure had suddenly appeared on the arena stage. He glanced at all the students whom they had rescued and furrowed his brows slightly. After which, he asked, "Who else hasn''t returned?"


    "Except for those who were confirmed to be dead, most of the others have been saved. However, there are two people who do not know where they are." Elder Xiao replied.


    "Who?"


    "Lin Tian and Du Feng." "Their reaction jade slips are still here, which means they''re not dead. They should still be in the stadium, but that''s strange. The three of us split up and searched in that direction, but in the end, we still didn''t find anything. We didn''t find Lin Tian and Du Feng ¡­"


    "Lin Tian, Du Feng?" Lei Yan asked in surprise: "Lin Tian, is he that heaven''s pride level child? The only Level 6 student, Lin Tian? "


    "I think I have the same impression of Du Feng, it''s the Body of Heaven''s Path ¡­" But, how did the two of them suddenly disappear? "


    Gu Qing Yuan''s face darkened. After which, he hesitated for a moment before his body once again strangely disappeared into the air.

 C126

    Lin Tian was completely unaware of what was happening outside, because the current him was right in the middle of the eye of the storm. At this moment, the entire stadium was beginning to shake violently, the thunder in the sky was trembling, and the ground under his feet was covered in the terrifying pressure of the lightning.


    The situation here made Lin Tian feel that this place was about to collapse.


    The current situation of the enormous python was not too good either. This was because the color of the lightning had already turned blood-red. Clearly, it had caused a change in the lightning due to the enormous strength of the python ¡­


    As the thunder roared, a terrifying lightning energy exploded out from the dark clouds and viciously hacked down on the enormous python.


    This time, the python was powerless to defend itself. Flames, lightning, and lightning all struck the python in an instant.


    The python let out a miserable cry and fell from the sky.


    After the python''s body fell to the ground, it started to scream crazily. The sound was sharp and ear-piercing, and its body was curled up at the same time.


    There was not a single piece of its body that was in good condition. There were black scars all over its body, and the smell of burnt flesh was extremely strong.


    Lin Tian sighed in his heart. Needless to say, he knew that this giant python was going to fail ¡­ ¡­


    The power of the punishment from the heavens was truly terrifying. Even though this demonic beast possessed heaven-shaking luck and was on the verge of success, it was still going to fail in the end.


    However, the giant python was not convinced. It struggled to stand up again, and its body suddenly erupted with hot light. That light instantly attracted the attention of all the beasts crawling behind Lin Tian.


    After the demon beast horde from before arrived, they stopped a few miles away from the giant python. They did not move forward, but instead remained prostrated as if they were worshipping the demon beast.


    However, at this moment, the huge python''s body surged with light for a split-second, enveloping the surrounding countless demonic beasts.


    Lin Tian''s gaze suddenly became serious. He couldn''t help but mutter to himself: "What is this bastard trying to do?"


    In the next moment, the light scattered. Only then did Lin Tian clearly see what it was that emitted light.


    "Demonic Core!" Lin Tian Deng shouted out loud.


    The thing that was spinning in the air and emitting a peculiar glow was none other than the beast core!


    The demonic core of that enormous python.


    "It wants to devour the blood essence of those demon beasts!" At this moment, Du Feng suddenly opened his mouth.


    Lin Tian immediately reacted. So it was like that. I was wondering why this animal released his beast core this time. It was actually targeting these demon beasts.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, the demonic beasts that were crawling on the ground sensed that something was wrong. All of them began to struggle and try to escape from this place.


    But it was too late.


    The giant python''s Demonic Core whirled and charged towards the crowd of Demonic Beasts in mid-air. Any Demonic Beast that came into contact with the Demonic Core''s aura would be enveloped by the Demonic Core. In the next moment, the bodies of the Demonic Beasts exploded and turned into a rain of blood as it fell onto the Demonic Core.


    The Demonic Core instantly emitted a bewitching light. The next moment, another Demonic Beast exploded and turned into a rain of blood, rushing into the Demonic Core.


    Demonic beasts exploded one after another, making the scene extremely horrifying. However, in the end, those demonic beasts turned into a rain of blood and were injected into the giant python''s demonic core.


    Lin Tian looked at this unusual change in disbelief. He finally understood what Du Feng meant by the power of blood essence that devoured those demon beasts.


    The python''s purpose was to devour the blood and Qi of those demon beasts in order to strengthen itself and fight back against the power of the divine lightning.


    "Crazy, crazy." Du Feng muttered to himself as his heart was filled with fear.


    Before long, most of the beasts had died. In the blink of an eye, thousands of beasts exploded and turned into blood. They were devoured by the python''s beast core.


    After the demonic core devoured the endless blood and Qi, it had become even more powerful.


    Moments later, the beast core entered the python''s body.


    The blood in the python''s body immediately became stronger.


    At this moment, the two bulges on its head had completely bulged out. Its snake skin could no longer wrap around it. In the next moment, two black horns drilled out from its head.


    The snake skin was torn apart. In the next moment, the snake skin started to fall off the python''s head. In the blink of an eye, the python''s skin was completely shed.


    This was the skin of a snake. As the skin was shed off, the giant python''s entire body was currently covered in layers of thin scales.


    This matter was extremely obvious. This enormous python had already completed its transformation into a Flood Dragon. At this moment, this python had already become a Flood Dragon.


    The python that had become a Flood Dragon had also greatly increased its resistance. But, this was also the case. The power of thunder in the skies was also becoming increasingly terrifying.


    At this moment, the lightning in the sky had already turned completely dark red and was filled with a frightening aura.


    This dragon used the power of other demonic beasts to fight against the heavens'' law and had already activated the laws of the heavens. This dark red lightning was the disaster of the dragon, and if it didn''t survive this, it would die, but if it did, then its future was limitless.


    At this moment, the dark red lightning in the sky began to condense into a monstrous strike, as if it could be killed at any time. At this moment, the power of thunder in the sky could no longer be called the heavenly tribulation, but instead, the heavenly tribulation!


    That''s right, this was the lightning tribulation of the Flood Dragon!


    "Kid, help him." At this time, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace suddenly spoke.


    "You''ve gone mad. If we managed to successfully transform a Flood Dragon, wouldn''t we all be doomed?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "It will only be of use to the egg in your body if it successfully turns into a dragon and overcomes the thunder tribulation." Hornless said indifferently.


    "But ¡­"


    Lin Tian had not even finished speaking when Horned Demon interrupted him: "There''s nothing good but don''t you want to know what the egg in your body is?"


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian immediately felt the meaning behind Horned Demon''s words.


    "I can sense that it is very likely that the egg will hatch after devouring this flood dragon. Didn''t you always want to see what sort of mysterious thing this egg is?" Hornless Rock said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "Do it!" Lin Tian gnashed his teeth as he spoke.


    "Speak, what should I do to help it ¡­"


    "The key is with that kid." Hornless answered.


    "Du Feng?" Lin Tian asked in astonishment.


    "Mn, he has the body of the Heavenly Law. He is able to link up with the heavens and the earth. Of course, he is also able to link up with the power of the lightning." Horned Demon indifferently explained, "Right now, he shouldn''t have fully awakened the terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Dao Body. Therefore, his current strength isn''t enough to disperse the power of thunder, but it''s more than enough to weaken the power of thunder."


    "By weakening this power of thunder, the Flood Dragon should be able to withstand this tribulation of thunder itself."


    "Alright!" Although Lin Tian knew that the risks were great, it wasn''t impossible.


    And the key point was that Horned Demon was right. Lin Tian really wanted to know what kind of secret was hidden within the egg in his body.

 C127

    But just as Lin Tian was preparing to tell Du Feng about this matter, a strange throbbing suddenly came from within his body.


    This...


    Lin Tian checked his body and discovered that it was the egg that Horned Demon was talking about.


    Currently, the egg was throbbing non-stop. It was jumping in Lin Tian''s body, as if it wanted to get out of the forest.


    Lin Tian was surprised, but then he immediately asked what was going on.


    Horned Demon also shook his head. "This item is extraordinary. I don''t know what''s going on either."


    Lin Tian tried to use his mental power to communicate with the egg.


    "Out... "Go, leave..." Lin Tian weakly sensed the sound coming from the egg and was actually going to go out.


    Lin Tian was a bit conflicted and didn''t agree, but the more it was like this, the more intense the throbbing in Lin Tian''s body became.


    "Kid, release it. Right now, there is nothing in this world that can harm it." Hornless'' face also started to turn serious.


    Swoosh. After hesitating for a bit, Lin Tian still decided to release it. Otherwise, there would be an egg in his dantian that would continuously beat, which made him feel very uncomfortable.


    The egg rushed up to the sky.


    The power of thunder and lightning in the sky instantly lit up. The power of thunder and lightning instantly shot towards the egg.


    "No!" Lin Tian suddenly roared out and was about to charge forward.


    With a "kacha" sound, a clear sound was heard by Lin Tian''s ears.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian looked over in bewilderment. Only now did he realize that a bolt of lightning had landed on the egg and only split it open.


    No, it had not split open yet. There was only a crack on the egg.


    Lightning glow frantically flickered on the eggshell at this moment. A moment later, it was actually absorbed by the eggshell ¡­


    "He can actually devour the power of thunder tribulation!" Lin Tian immediately felt that it was inconceivable. The egg had actually absorbed the power of the thunder tribulation ¡­.


    However, what was even more unbelievable was that the egg had swallowed the power of thunder and lightning in the sky, which immediately infuriated the thunder and lightning in the sky. Not long after that, the thunder and lightning in the sky gave birth to an even more terrifying power of thunder and lightning.


    boom * Following a huge explosion that shook the heavens, the power of lightning struck the egg again.


    "Kacha, kacha!" The sound immediately became louder.


    However, a moment later, that beam of lightning flashed again and was absorbed by the egg.


    After such a strange situation happened, not only was Lin Tian stunned, even Du Feng and the demon beast that just turned into a dragon was also stunned.


    This was simply too unbelievable.


    It seemed impossible, but now it was happening right in front of their eyes.


    Of course, the most happy one was none other than the demon beast that had just completed its transformation. Currently, there was an egg helping it resist the power of the lightning tribulation. Naturally, this was a good thing for it.


    The egg was still absorbing the thunder and lightning energy.


    However, at this moment, a figure was frantically searching in the stadium.


    It was Gu Qingyuan. When Gu Qingyuan heard that Lin Tian and Du Feng had not come out yet, he was naturally burning with anxiety. He immediately began to frantically search within the training field.


    It was a pity that other than the location of the demon beast, Gu Qingyuan had searched everywhere else. However, he could not find any traces of Lin Tian and Du Feng.


    If this happened, then there was only one possibility, and that was that Lin Tian and Du Feng went to the place where the demon beast was.


    This was because Elder Xiao had also said that the two of them were still alive, but why did Lin Tian and Du Feng go find the demon beast?


    At this moment, the training field was shrouded in dark clouds, and the most frightening part, where the most powerful lightning gathered, was the central area of the demonic beast.


    Gu Qingyuan clearly knew what that demon beast wanted to do. Gu Qingyuan had previously fought with that demon beast, but he didn''t expect that this demon beast would be so cunning. It took advantage of the Qingzhou School''s talent selection to suddenly choose a level five evolution.


    This immediately caught Gu Qingyuan off guard, but fortunately, it didn''t cause a great disaster. The dead were all students of lower ranks, and right now, the Hidden Dragon Institute''s students were rank 5 students. Only Du Feng had yet to find them, while the other was Lin Tian.


    It had to be known that Lin Tian was the first person in history to reach the eighteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda. He was the first student of Tian Luo Kingdom to ever reach the sixth rank.


    Not to mention that Lin Tian was Xiao Yunhai''s disciple and also his disciple''s grandson. Even if Gu Qing Yuan was in the public or private, he still wouldn''t be able to see Lin Tian take the risk.


    When he couldn''t find Lin Tian on the outside, Gu Qing Yuan didn''t hesitate in the slightest and directly turned his body to go to the interior of the training grounds.


    The power of the thunder was boundless. At this moment, the training field was filled with the occasional thunderclap. Even walking in the dense forest, one could feel a little bit of fear in their heart.


    At this moment, an egg suddenly rose up in the sky. That egg was actually resisting the power of the thunder.


    However, what was strange was that when the power of thunder landed on the egg, it was actually swallowed by the egg. It was extremely strange.


    Gu Qing Yuan was stunned as he stared at the egg that could swallow the power of lightning. Finally, two figures could be vaguely seen beneath the egg.


    Gu Qingyuan hid his aura and quickly dashed over.


    Only now did he realize that the center of the dense dark clouds was the location of the demon beast. Not far from the demon beast, Lin Tian and Du Feng were indeed standing, and beyond them were the barriers formed by the demon beasts.


    On the outskirts, almost all the demonic beasts gathered in the training field. At this moment, all of the demonic beasts were crawling on the ground, looking extremely strange.


    While Gu Qing Yuan was sizing up the situation, another lightning bolt descended and heavily struck the egg.


    "Kacha, kacha." On the egg, there was the sound of cracking. It was as if the egg would crack and shatter at any moment.


    Lin Tian''s heart was in his throat. He was afraid that something would happen to the egg. It had to be known that the Cyan Roc''s egg that he had previously obtained had all been given to this thing for it to eat.


    At this moment, the eggshell suddenly broke into pieces. A chubby finger-sized white bug crawled out from the eggshell.


    The reason he called it a bug was because for a moment, Lin Tian couldn''t think of any words to describe this little thing in front of him. A demon beast didn''t look like a demon beast, nor did it look like anything else.


    "It''s an ice silkworm." It was at this moment that the Horned Demon within the Divine Palace revealed the origin of this little thing.


    "God Beast Ice Silkworm!" Hornless'' tone became even more serious.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled: "This little thing is actually a Divine Beast?"


    Lin Tian looked at it many times. No matter how he thought about it, this little thing in front of him was not even on the same level as a Divine Beast, but the Horned Dragon still said that this little thing was a Divine Beast.


    "Every time it evolves, it will transform and change a color, until finally, it will turn into a rainbow of colors with unparalleled power. It can be called the number one divine beast. According to the legends, the ice silkworm and the Ancestral Dragon are existences of the same generation!" Horned Demon''s next words caused Lin Tian to be completely shocked.


    Lin Tian didn''t come back to his senses for a long time. He simply couldn''t connect this little thing in front of him with the legendary Ancestral Dragon ¡­

 C128

    "What, kid, you didn''t think of it, did you?" Horned Demon''s voice carried a trace of lament.


    "Indeed, indeed, I did not expect it." Lin Tian took a deep breath and just barely accepted this reality.


    The divine silkworm was actually an existence from the same era as the Ancestral Dragon.


    How many years had this larva lived?


    "There is no limit to the lifespan of an ice silkworm. When the lifespan of an ice silkworm reaches the limit, it will automatically transform into an egg, like what you see in front of your eyes." Horned Demon said softly, "The Iceworm you see now is the Iceworm that was at the same time as the Ancestral Dragon. Only, the Ancestral Dragon fell, but it transformed into an egg and avoided the arrival of that catastrophe. Now, it should be a reincarnation."


    "In other words, every transformation of the silkworm is equivalent to a rebirth?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "That''s right." Horned Demon nodded and no longer said anything else. At the same time, the ice silkworm broke out of its shell and the shell exploded, turning into beams of white light that were once again absorbed by it.


    At the same time, looking at the thunder in the sky, the ice silkworm suddenly opened its mouth and a powerful devouring force came out.


    In the next moment, the lightning power gathered by the dark clouds instantly turned into a pillar of lightning that was absorbed by the Icy Jade Silkworm.


    An unending stream of lightning energy instantly poured into the ice silkworm''s body.


    Horned Demon finally understood and couldn''t help but sigh. "This little guy is quite scheming. He actually used this method to recover his strength."


    Lin Tian looked at Horned Demon in surprise. He didn''t understand what Horned Demon meant by that.


    Of course, this is all thanks to the Blue Roc''s egg. The Blue Roc''s egg allowed this little thing to have a bit of consciousness, but this little thing only managed to awaken a bit of consciousness, it could not break the shell on its body. It did not expect the power of lightning tribulation to become an external force that helped it open the shell. Hornless explained.


    Lin Tian Deng immediately understood.


    At the same time, the ice silkworm proved to him that there was nothing that could stop its attack. All of the clouds in the sky disappeared, as if they had never appeared.


    The original power of the thunder tribulation was swallowed up by the ice silkworm without a trace remaining.


    Now that the power of thunder tribulation had been swallowed up, the training field immediately regained its brightness, and everything returned to normal.


    Du Feng stared blankly at the scene before him, as if he had yet to recover from his shock.


    Even the demonic beast that had successfully transformed into a dragon was currently hovering in the air and not moving at all.


    Behind him, the demonic beasts that were crawling on the ground were trembling in fear. It was as though something extremely terrifying had appeared and intimidated them.


    Behind that Demonic Beast, Gu Qingyuan was also completely astonished. He simply could not imagine that the power of the lightning tribulation would actually be swallowed by a Demonic Beast.


    Although Gu Qingyuan didn''t want to admit it, the truth was right in front of his eyes. He couldn''t help but believe it.


    This demon beast was Lin Tian''s? Gu Qingyuan frowned before shifting his gaze to Lin Tian.


    However, the current Lin Tian had no time to care about anything else and stubbornly stared at the Ice Silkworm.


    He was observing the changes in the Ice Silkworm. At this moment, the Ice Silkworm had already started to have subtle changes in its body. If one did not look carefully, it was possible that they would not be able to see them.


    After devouring the power of the lightning, the Ice Silkworm had actually grown a little. Its originally white and clean body had also begun to darken.


    A Nine-Colored Divine Silkworm. Lin Tian Deng immediately thought of this word. Nine-Colored. This Divine Silkworm had nine colors.


    At this moment, it should be its first color, white. If it changed, then after it changed, it would change to the next color, black.


    Of course, this was also an extremely slow process.


    Just as Lin Tian was observing the ice silkworm, he didn''t notice anything else. He didn''t even notice that the demon beast that used a dragon to escape in the chaos.


    However, just as the flood dragon was about to slip away, the Ice Silkworm Baby made its move.


    The Ice Silkworm opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of cold air. In an instant, a domineering and powerful frost energy enveloped the Flood Dragon.


    In the blink of an eye, the body of the flood dragon was frozen by the cold and it could no longer move.


    At the same time, the Ice Worm baby also charged towards the dragon. It opened its mouth and sucked. The dragon was once again swallowed by the Ice Worm baby.


    After doing all this, the Ice Silkworm Baby looked somewhat dispirited. At this moment, it directly turned back and charged towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian only felt a burst of coldness on his arm. When he looked again, the Ice Silkworm Baby had already turned into a brand that imprinted itself onto Lin Tian''s arm.


    He must have fallen into a deep sleep.


    Only after the Ice Silkworm had fallen into a deep slumber did the other demonic beasts feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. Their limbs softened, but before long, the demonic beasts dispersed one by one.


    Gu Qing Yuan extended his hand to kill a few Demonic Beasts that wanted to rush at him. After which, he stealthily hid his figure and secretly observed everything.


    Du Feng had just come back to his senses and he stared fixedly at Lin Tian: "You, how could you have such a terrifying thing on your body?"


    Lin Tian looked at Du Feng and couldn''t help but ask in astonishment: "What, do you know what that is?"


    "I don''t know, but it, how could it ¡­" Just as Du Feng was about to say something, the roar of a demon beast came from nearby.


    A group of demon beasts had already pounced towards the two of them.


    The Rank 5 Wyrm King was swallowed up by the ice silkworm, and the ice silkworm also fell into a deep slumber. Naturally, there was nothing to fear from these demon beasts.


    In the blink of an eye, those demon beasts charged towards Lin Tian and Du Feng.


    Lin Tian raised his palm and slapped a Rank 2 Demonic Beast that was rushing towards Du Feng to death. Then, without any further hesitation, he grabbed onto Du Feng and activated his God Transforming Steps and quickly rushed forward.


    Not long after Lin Tian and Du Feng left, Gu Qingyuan''s figure quietly appeared in a nearby bush.


    Gu Qingyuan was also in disbelief. Lin Tian''s Iceworm demon beast was too terrifying and it made his heart palpitate. However, whether Lin Tian had such a treasure was not certain. It all depended on Lin Tian''s good fortune.


    Gu Qing Yuan''s sole purpose for coming here was to confirm that Lin Tian and Du Feng were still alive. Since he had personally seen it, Gu Qing Yuan naturally wouldn''t stay here any longer. He turned around and disappeared into thin air.


    Gu Qingyuan''s figure appeared once again, "Alright, the crisis has been resolved. Next, the exam will continue, but even if the hunt is over, all the survivors can enter the next arena competition. In the arena competition, choose the geniuses who can enter our Azure Province Academy."


    Gu Qingyuan ordered as he turned around and left without saying anything else.


    Hearing Gu Qing Yuan''s words, Elder Zhang, Elder Xiao, and Lei Yan all let out a sigh of relief. It was good that the two students were fine.


    Elder Zhang and Lei Yan did not stay any longer and turned to leave.


    Only Elder Xiao was left muttering to himself: "He actually managed to survive under the hands of a Rank 5 Beast King. It looks like this Lin Tian and Du Feng are indeed worthy of their reputation."

 C129

    After the dust settled, Lin Tian and Du Feng also came back.


    Elder Xiao nodded his head, then explained to the crowd: "This trial field is a small Qiankun world, and that giant python is a demonic beast bred in this small Qiankun world. Elder Xiao nodded his head, and then explained to the crowd:" This trial field is a small Qiankun world, and that giant python is a demon beast bred in this small Qiankun world.


    Everyone immediately nodded their heads. If that was the case, then everything made sense.


    Just now, the crowd was still suspicious why did the Azure Province Academy allow such a powerful Monstrous Beast to exist in the training grounds. It turned out that it was because the Monstrous Beast got the protection of the Cosmos Sack and was unable to be strangled.


    This was because if it was forcefully hanged, the demon beast could very well fight to the death and risk collapsing this small universe to the death with the teachers who came to kill it.


    This was a situation that no one wanted to see. After all, this sort of small universe world could be considered a supreme treasure.


    "Ever since our last attempt at hanging and killing failed, we did not provoke this beast again. That beast was rather obedient, but this time, I never thought that this beast would actually choose to take the trial of our Azure Province ¡­" He did not continue speaking and instead shifted his gaze back to the crowd. He continued, "Therefore, there is no need to continue the competition after the first round is interrupted. Next up is the arena battle."


    "I say here that because of this change in the hunting competition, this arena battle will be the only standard for all the disciples to enter the Azure Province. In other words, as long as all the disciples perform well enough in the arena battle, then no matter how poor your performance is in the hunt, they will still be able to enter our Azure Province Academy."


    Elder Xiao announced the rules once more. "Does everyone understand what I just said?"


    "Understood." For an expert like Lin Tian, no matter what competition, he would definitely be able to enter the Azure Province Academy. This was because he was confident, and with strong strength as a guarantee, he would naturally not care about the changes in the rules.


    For those level one students and level two students who were lucky enough to survive the beast tide, this was a huge blessing for them. They could not even be happy about it.


    After confirming the rules, Elder Xiao said indifferently: "Alright, everyone has gone through the changes just now, so you must be tired. Tomorrow, the representatives of the four great institutions will personally come, and tomorrow, the arena battle will officially begin. Students, today, you will be staying at Sky Dragon Academy.


    As he said this, Boss Xiao waved his hand and streaks of faint white light immediately enveloped everyone. Everyone felt their consciousness spin, and in the next moment, they left the training field and arrived at the Azure Province Institute.


    Before he came, Lin Tian had already done his homework. Ever since the establishment of the Azure Province, in order to increase the strength of the students, there were four branches, namely the East, West, North, and North Academies.


    It was divided into various regions of the Azure Province.


    Of course, it was also a school in name. The students here were all students who had graduated from the Azure Province Academy and were in charge of some chores in the Azure Province Academy. However, the Azure Province Academy in Qingzhou only gathered the people from the Four Great Academies together because it only recruited disciples every year.


    The rest of the time was just a symbol.


    Only the East, West, and North Academies had the talent to recruit students every year. Of course, the students'' daily mission was to train and fight.


    The only place that met those conditions was the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range of the Azure Province.


    The four great academies were all established in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to train their disciples.


    It had to be known that whether it was the Qing Zhou Academy, the Royal Academy, the Misty Academy, the Sword Inquisition, or the Tiger Wolf Camp, they all served the king of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Regardless of whether it was a genius or not, his growth would require constant slaughter, battles, and cultivation.


    The mountain ranges within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, the endless number of demon beasts, as well as some natural geographical features were all the most suitable places.


    So the four great institutions of the Azure Province were there.


    And tomorrow, which was the biggest day of the entire Azure Province, the annual new disciples would be recruited tomorrow.


    That was why Elder Xiao had said that he would wait for the representatives of the Four Great Academies to arrive tomorrow.


    Currently, there were only a few hundred people left who were participating in the third round''s disciple selection. However, there were also seven level five students, namely the Hidden Dragon Institute''s students. In addition, there was also a level six student like Lin Tian.


    Thus, it was likely that the representatives of the Four Great Academies would spare no effort to recruit them.


    After all, these several hundred people were ultimately recruited into the academy only to be around a hundred people. Counting the total number of students, each of the four great academies could only recruit about twenty or so students. Of course, due to the fact that the strength of the four great academies were different, the strongest East Branch could very likely recruit around forty or even fifty students.


    Lin Tian didn''t think of anything else and directly returned to his room.


    There was a place in the Azure Province where the students could rest.


    It was already evening. It seemed like the time in the stadium was the same as the time in the outside world.


    Just as Lin Tian hurried back to his own room, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Lin Tian, Lin Tian."


    It was a male voice, not even Du Feng''s voice. Lin Tian was slightly startled, there were still some students who recognized him, but hearing that voice, it sounded a little familiar. Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and turned his head to look, only to realize that the person who had stopped him was actually Fang Xing!


    Fang Xing was the young master of a wealthy family who had come to the academy that day. He hadn''t expected to enter the academy as well, but Lin Tian remembered that his name wasn''t on the leaderboard, but from the looks of it, he was also here to participate in the arena battle.


    "Do you still remember me?" Fang Xing asked Lin Tian with a grin on his face.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "Of course I remember. Brother Fang, why did you also come to this Azure Province Academy? "On the Golden Ranking, it''s not ¡­"


    "I relied on relationships to get in, so don''t spout nonsense." Fang Xing winked at Lin Tian and made a silent gesture.


    Lin Tian came to a sudden understanding. Entering the Qingzhou Academy was not difficult, but if he had thought about how Fang Xing had spent so much money in the River Gazing House, he must have been a young master from an illustrious family.


    "Brother Lin, are you really that sixth rank student, Lin Tian?" Fang Xing pulled Lin Tian aside and asked in a soft voice.


    Hearing Fang Xing''s question, Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before replying honestly, "That''s right, it''s me."


    "Then can you tell me how did you obtain the title of level 6 student?" Fang Xing asked in surprise.


    "I passed the eighteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda''s smelting trial." To Fang Xing, Lin Tian''s indifferent voice was like a bolt out of the blue!

 C130

    "Level ¡­ level eighteen?" Fang Xing looked at Lin Tian in disbelief before asking once more.


    "Yes, the eighteenth floor." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    Fang Xing froze in shock for a long moment.


    Lin Tian looked at Fang Xing in shock. He couldn''t help but frown before asking, "Brother Fang, is there anything else? If there''s nothing else, I''m going back. I''m very tired today, so I want to rest."


    "No problem, no problem." Only then did Fang Xing come back to his senses.


    Lin Tian turned around to leave, but behind him, Fang Xing stopped him.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed as he looked towards Fang Xing.


    Fang Xing was startled by Lin Tian''s expression and immediately explained to him, "No, no, brother Lin, don''t misunderstand. My meaning is that I have one last question to ask."


    Lin Tian''s face finally eased up, then he smiled and said: "Go ahead and ask."


    "Brother Lin, have you decided which of the four great institutions you want to enter?" Seeing that Lin Tian''s tone had become much calmer, Fang Xing let out a sigh of relief before asking.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian, on the other hand, was stumped by Fang Xing''s question. He hadn''t thought about it before.


    However, Fang Xing''s question had made Lin Tian realize that Lin Tian was a part of the Qing-Yun Realm. Lin Tian had become a part of the Qing-Yun Realm, but he had never thought of joining any of the academies.


    But after a moment of hesitation, Lin Tian replied: "Northern Courtyard."


    He remembered that Xiao Yunhai had previously said that he entered the Northern Courtyard when he first entered the Azure Province Academy, so his master''s choice shouldn''t be too bad. Moreover, Lin Tian originally had the intention of standing up for Xiao Yunhai, so entering the Northern Courtyard was naturally the best choice.


    "Northern Courtyard?" Fang Xing was shocked once again. He hadn''t thought that Lin Tian would actually choose the Northern Courtyard.


    "Brother Lin, you must think this through. Are you really planning to go to the Northern Courtyard?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but remind himself.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled: "What, does Brother Fang know something?"


    "The Northern Courtyard is the weakest academy out of the four great academies. The number of talents in the Northern Courtyard is extremely few, which is also why the strength of the instructors are also the weakest. Moreover, the resources allocated by the Northern Courtyard are the least among the four great academies ¡­" Fang Xing observed Lin Tian''s reaction as he spoke.


    But even after talking for half a day, the expression on Lin Tian''s face did not change at all.


    "Brother Lin, did you not understand what I meant?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    "I understand now. Didn''t you want to say that the Northern Courtyard is one of the Four Great Academies and is too trashy? Don''t you want me to choose the Northern Courtyard?" Lin Tian replied.


    "Yeah, that''s what I meant!" Fang Xing hurriedly nodded his head.


    "And then?" Lin Tian nodded his head and asked.


    "So which academy are you going to choose?" Fang Xing asked with a face full of anticipation.


    "The Northern Courtyard!" Lin Tian replied without hesitation.


    "I ¡­" If it weren''t for the fact that Lin Tian was a level 6 student, Fang Xing would have wanted to smash his head open to see what was hiding in his brain. He had told him so much just now because he didn''t want him to choose the Northern Courtyard, but why did he still choose the Northern Courtyard in the end?


    What he said just now was all in vain.


    "I originally wanted to choose the Northern Courtyard, but with no reason, I''ve already made my decision." Lin Tian spoke again: "If Brother Fang has nothing else, then I''ll leave first ¡­."


    Fang Xing nodded his head dejectedly. Looking at Lin Tian''s departing back, he could not help but call out, "Brother Lin, how about you consider it again?"


    "No need." Lin Tian shook his head, not willing to say more. His footsteps quickened, and he quickly left the area.


    Fang Xing was speechless. Was this Lin Tian stupid?


    He was obviously a level 6 student, and he could have made a better choice. Why did he choose a trash that the Northern Courtyard could not support?


    "If he goes to the Northern Courtyard, then what about me?" He had been continuously searching for Lin Tian ever since the beginning, all so that he could ask which institution Lin Tian wanted to go to. In the end, it would be better if he didn''t ask, as even that would have a bit of an impact on his choice.


    The reason why Fang Xing was able to enter the academy without undergoing the arena battle was very simple. He also had a Heavenly Spirit. However, his Spirit Body was slightly special.


    Lin Tian naturally did not care about Fang Xing''s grudges. He was determined to go to the Northern Courtyard. What resources? Instructor? These weren''t important to Lin Tian.


    As long as he had a little bit of it, he would be able to have a strong enough cultivation technique or secret technique.


    That was absolutely important, but the Azure Province Academy''s Hidden Martial Pavilion was shared by the Four Great Academies, so that was not a problem.


    In this way, all of these problems were solved, and the rest were even less of a problem.


    Besides, going to the Northern Courtyard could still help his Master gain her reputation. Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t choose to go to another courtyard.


    He didn''t care what the purpose of Fang Xing''s question was, but it wasn''t important anymore.


    Lin Tian kept on running, but at this time, behind him came another wave of shouts: "Lin Tian, Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­"


    Just as Lin Tian was about to open his mouth and curse at Fang Xing, he was suddenly stunned. The voice that had called him earlier was not the man''s.


    It was a woman''s voice!


    Lin Tian turned his head and once again saw the familiar person, Gu Yan''er!


    Lin Tian didn''t see her previously in the hunt, he thought that she wouldn''t be able to participate in the test and would be admitted directly, but then he met Du Feng and gave up on this idea.


    However, Lin Tian did not discover Gu Yan''er in the crowd.


    "Lin Tian, we meet again." Gu Yan''er smiled sweetly. At this moment, her face had already been completely restored without any scars, and she no longer gave off that stinky smell. She looked exactly like a normal person''s face, but the difference was, Gu Yan''er was far more beautiful than most women.


    "Yeah, we meet again." Towards Gu Yan''er, Lin Tian did not have much resistance. After all, although the Green Roc''s egg that he had obtained from her had paid the price of his own blood, the result was still enough to make Lin Tian satisfied. If not for the Green Roc''s egg, the Ice Silkworm in Lin Tian''s body might not have undergone today''s changes.


    "Did you also come to the Azure Province Academy?" Lin Tian thought for a long time before asking.


    Un, there is a poison master in the Azure Province Academy who has a lot of research on the poison body, so I came here. The blood pill you gave me last time has already been consumed, and now the teacher is going to teach me a few methods to control the poison in my body. Gu Yan''er said with a smile.


    "That''s good." Lin Tian nodded his head. To Gu Yan''er, a natural born poison body was a unique talent. It was impossible to rely on pills to clear the way, so she had to grasp the method to control this poison.


    "Right, the reason I came to find you this time was to ask you, which of the four great academies are you going to choose?" Gu Yan''er blinked her eyes and asked Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was startled. Why was she asking him this?

 C131

    "Of course, we should choose the Northern Courtyard." Lin Tian replied without the slightest hesitation.


    "Northern Courtyard?" There was also a little disbelief in Gu Yan''er''s tone.


    "What? You also know that the Northern Courtyard is not good?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth had a trace of a smile.


    "Yes. Teacher told me that it would be best to choose the East Branch because the East Branch is the strongest." Gu Yan''er nodded.


    Lin Tian laughed and said: "There are many reasons for choosing the Northern Courtyard, and it would be inconvenient to explain in detail. If there is nothing else, I will be leaving first."


    "Alright, I understand. I''m very happy to see you." Gu Yan''er said with a smile on her face.


    Lin Tian nodded his head and then flew away, leaving only Gu Yan''er muttering to herself on the spot: "Strange, why did he choose the Northern Courtyard?"


    Along the way, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and finally displayed the God Transforming Steps. He flew all the way, Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er, and seemed to have come to know the two of them in the Azure Province Academy. Lin Tian had probably met them already, so there shouldn''t be anyone who would recognize him now, right?


    Sure enough, no one called out Lin Tian''s name along the way. Lin Tian slightly relaxed before entering his own room.


    Just as he entered the room, he heard footsteps coming from outside.


    The candlelight in the room immediately began to flicker. Lin Tian was shocked in his heart, but he immediately became vigilant: "There''s an expert!"


    Sure enough, in the next moment, a figure tiptoed to Lin Tian''s room.


    Lin Tian''s figure flashed, and then he appeared behind the door, waiting for that person to come and directly give him a thunderbolt.


    The person outside gently pushed open the door, and it creaked open. Lin Tian had just finished gathering his strength for his Heaven Collapsing Palm and was about to be thrown out when an extremely familiar face appeared behind the door.


    Lin Tian immediately retracted his power and stopped his palm in front of that person''s face.


    It was Du Feng!


    Lin Tian was speechless. How could he have forgotten Du Feng ¡­?


    "It''s so late. What are you doing sneaking around outside?" Lin Tian''s face didn''t look too good. He had stopped that palm just now and almost injured himself.


    "I ¡­" "I ¡­" For a moment, Du Feng did not know what to say.


    "Come on in." Lin Tian glanced at Du Feng and then gave way to let Du Feng enter the room.


    After Du Feng entered the room, Lin Tian indifferently said: "Don''t tell me you''re also looking for me to ask which institution I''m going to, right?"


    "You already know about it?" Du Feng heard Lin Tian''s question and was immediately startled. Immediately after, he incredulously asked. He didn''t know how Lin Tian knew his purpose for coming here.


    "That''s really ¡­" Lin Tian was speechless for a while and then said: "You guys have to ask this question no matter what. What does which courtyard I enter have anything to do with you?"


    "Whichever courtyard you choose, I''ll choose ¡­" Du Feng answered honestly.


    "Hmm?" He didn''t think of this, but the reason why Du Feng asked this question was to go to the same academy as Lin Tian. This Lin Tian could understand, but Gu Yan''er and Fang Xing also asked this question. Could it be that they also wanted to go to the same institution as Lin Tian?


    "Northern Courtyard." Lin Tian replied unhappily to Du Feng.


    "Northern Courtyard?" Du Feng asked uncertainly.


    "Why?" Lin Tian''s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Du Feng.


    "Nothing, just confirming. Are you sure you want to go to the Northern Courtyard?"


    "Nonsense."


    "Alright, I''ll go to the Northern Courtyard too." The reason he came to look for Lin Tian was to find out which courtyard Lin Tian would choose to go to. Right now, he already knew that it was the Northern Courtyard.


    "You''re still not leaving when you know it?" Lin Tian saw that Du Feng did not have the intention to leave and could not help but roar at him.


    "I, I have another question. If you ask it, then scram." Du Feng said with a face full of smiles.


    "Speak."


    "Today, the thing that appeared in the stadium, is it your demon beast?" Du Feng asked carefully.


    "Nonsense, it''s not mine. Could it be yours?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes at Du Feng before shouting out.


    "Then, what exactly is that thing?" Du Feng asked again. He possessed the physique of the Heavenly Dao and had a natural instinct for demonic beasts. He could almost call out the names of any demonic beasts and also sense the strength of those demonic beasts.


    However, for the first time, Du Feng did not feel anything from the appearance of the white Ice Silkworm. He was not able to communicate with the Ice Silkworm, nor did he know what species the Ice Silkworm was, especially the existence of the Ice Silkworm, which could directly devour heavenly lightning.


    One had to know that the heavenly lightning was not just any ordinary heavenly lightning, it was the true power of thunder tribulation.


    However, in the end, it was still swallowed by the Ice Silkworm.


    Du Feng was only curious about this point, so he wanted to use this opportunity to ask Lin Tian.


    "Is that a problem?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes at Du Feng, then said: "I also don''t know what that thing is, but I can tell you one thing, I picked it up ¡­."


    Du Feng was startled, but Lin Tian immediately ordered him to leave: "Alright, you should be asking, you should not ask. Du Feng was startled, but Lin Tian directly ordered:" Alright, you should ask, you should ask what you shouldn''t ask.


    "Oh." Du Feng replied in embarrassment and left.


    Only now did Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief. The Ice Worm Baby''s origin was too terrifying. Lin Tian had never planned to say it in the first place.


    If others found out that Lin Tian had such a treasure, who knew how many experts would covet it? They might even try to kill him.


    After all, the ice silkworm was a divine beast that was on par with the Ancestor Dragon.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian felt that his entire body was a secret. Basically nothing could be leaked, and once it was leaked it would lead to a fatal disaster.


    The Ancestral Dragon blood essence, the archaic dragon talisman, the divine beast Icy Silkworm, and even the Dragon Transformation Token. Any one of these would have set off a bitter massacre.


    "Brat, now that you know how to be afraid, today, after the Ice Silkworm appeared, you might not have noticed, other than Du Feng, there is another person who also saw ¡­" At this moment, Horned Demon''s voice suddenly rang out.


    "Who?" Lin Tian Deng was shocked.


    "Your Martial Ancestor." Horned Demon smiled and said, "You should be glad that it was him. If it was anyone else, your Iceworm might have already been taken away."


    "My grandteacher?" Lin Tian was flabbergasted and then immediately reacted: "Gu Qing Yuan?"


    Lin Tian naturally knew that his Martial Ancestor was the Principal of the True Azure Continent Academy, Gu Qingyuan. He had the strength of someone at the peak of the 9th level of the Star River Realm, and could even be a Life and Death Realm expert.


    "It''s not possible, it''s just that." Horned Demon said again, "It''s a Death Profound Realm expert. The death aura in his body has already accumulated to a certain extent. I presume that he has already reached the Death Profound Realm for a very long time."


    Lin Tian was stunned, he didn''t think that his grandmaster would hide it so deeply.


    He was his own ancestor, so Lin Tian didn''t believe that he would steal his things. It had to be known that even though Xiao Yunhai had committed a heinous crime, Gu Qingyuan had still managed to save his life in the end. This showed that this ancestor had protected his life, not to mention that Gu Qingyuan might not have even known what a silkworm ice baby was.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not think anymore. Right now, the Ice Worm baby was already in deep sleep because it had swallowed the power of the thunder tribulation and also the dragon king. It would probably need some time to refine it.


    The most important thing for him to do now was to pass the arena battle and enter the Azure Province Academy. That was the main matter.


    Lin Tian discarded all other thoughts and started to concentrate on breathing out.

 C132

    Early the next morning, the entire Martial Arts Practice Field was in an uproar. This time, the headmasters of the Four Great Academies of the Azure Province were gathered together. This was the most important arena battle in history.


    This was because in the past, the arena battle had only been held with the Vice Principal of the Four Great Academies, or with a few instructors. As representatives, this was the first time the principals of the Four Great Academies had gathered together.


    Of course, it was also because there were so many geniuses this year, even some who were level 5 or level 6. Therefore, the four chairmen of the four great academies paid great attention to them.


    In the center of the training field of the Azure Province, there was a huge arena. The so-called arena competition also got its name because of this.


    At this moment, the entire martial arts training field was filled with a sea of people. Of course, many of them were here to watch the competition, such as Qingzhou King Luo Feng, as well as Hua Ruoyi and Jiang Liu`er from the Qingxuan Pavilion.


    North, south, east, and west of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds was an even more luxurious viewing area. It was located in the north, south, east, and west directions. Of course, it also represented the position of the Headmaster of the Four Great Academies.


    At this moment, the heads of the four great academies had already sat down, quietly waiting for the arena battle to begin.


    Not long after, Gu Qingyuan, the headmaster of the Azure Province Academy''s headquarters, arrived at the high platform of the viewing gallery so that he could overlook the entire situation.


    The other heads of the Azure Province Academy, such as Elder Zhang and Instructor Lei Yan, were also sitting beside Gu Qingyuan, waiting for the start of the competition.


    The next moment, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded: "Presidents, teachers, students, and all distinguished guests who have come to watch the ceremony. Today, my Azure Province''s annual student recruitment selection competition will welcome the final match, which is the arena battle."


    "I represent the Azure Province Institute to welcome all of you."


    These leaders of the Qingzhou School all had their own missions. For example, Lei Yan was the one who received the candidates and the one in charge of the Golden Ranking. As for Elder Zhang, he was in charge of the second round, the master of the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial, and Elder Xiao was in charge of the third round.


    It was because the division of labor was different from each other that Elder Xiao was responsible for the arena battle.


    "All of you, have gone through the first two rounds of selection. The top geniuses of the various places in the Azure Province, to be able to stand here, all of you are worthy of pride, but there is no need for you to be proud. The arena battle is your last test, and it will be filled with great waves and great sand.


    When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.


    These words were very obvious, they were saying that they were going to see the true meaning of them.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. The arena battle had always been about strength speaking. He was very confident in his own strength.


    There were a total of two hundred or so students on the Golden Ranking from level one to level six. After the mutation in the training field, some of them had died and some of them were injured.


    "Next, I will announce the rules. For the first round of the elimination round, all two hundred students will be drawing lots to battle in two or three matches. This round will be the elimination round, where all the weak students will be eliminated."


    As he said this, some of the students started to hold their lots and let them draw lots.


    Lin Tian had drawn number 33. According to the order, it shouldn''t be in front.


    Before long, everyone had drawn their lots. Looking at the lots in their hands, everyone felt uneasy.


    This arena battle was quite cruel. For students of the first, second, and third ranks, they would be eliminated if they encountered students of the fourth rank or higher.


    After all, their strength wasn''t too high to begin with.


    "The student that drew number 1, come out and fight!" Elder Xiao''s voice rang out again. From the crowd, the two students immediately walked out. Everyone''s gaze immediately gathered on the two of them.


    Some of the onlookers knew these two people. They all started to discuss, "Isn''t this the seed, Su Chen An?"


    "That''s right, the Su Clan of Qingzhou is indeed a first-rate power. This Su Chen An is only sixteen years old, but he''s already at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. It''s enviable ¡­"


    "With a good father, the Su Clan''s patriarch is his father. Naturally, many resources will be thrown at him. With his current strength, it isn''t surprising ¡­"


    "Who is the person he''s fighting? I think he''s a level 1 student?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.


    "Mm, he should be a level one student. If he meets Su Chen An, I''m afraid his journey to the Azure Province Academy will come to an end ¡­"


    The whispers of the crowd instantly reached the duo''s ears. The level one student who was talking to Su Chen was also pale. He naturally knew what it meant to meet Su Chen An.


    However, Su Chen''s face was filled with joy. When faced with this sort of existence, he could almost defeat it in one move.


    Lin Tian saw both of their expressions and secretly shook his head. Su Chen was a seeded student, a level 4 student. What was there to be happy about if he met a level 1 student?


    As for meeting Su Chen''s person, Lin Tian secretly despised him. When he met a strong expert, he would first retreat. This kind of martial cultivator would only have this kind of achievement in their entire life. A true martial cultivator should be unstoppable and not fear a strong enemy ¡­


    While they were thinking, the two of them had already entered the arena.


    At the same time, Elder Xiao''s voice sounded again, "Number Two, step forward!"


    This arena is extremely huge, and because there are too many people participating in the arena battle, the entire arena is split into four, and the four arenas will be battled at the same time, so naturally it will be much faster ¡­


    "Number 3, step forward!"


    "Number 4, step forward!"


    Before long, the students from the four groups had already stood in the middle of their respective arenas. With Elder Xiao''s command, the arena battle would officially begin.


    "Are you ready?" Elder Xiao glanced around and everyone nodded their heads. Then, he shouted, "Let the arena battle begin!"


    hmm * A bell immediately rang out, and the last round of the Azure Province''s preliminaries, which was the focus of everyone''s attention, the arena battle, officially started.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" On the stage, the power of the Yuan Qi vibrated non-stop. As it rubbed against the air, a series of explosive sounds rang out. The entire stage began to boil.


    Everyone moved back and forth, fist to fist.


    Su Chen almost exploded his opponent with a punch, then floated down the stage. In front of absolute strength, anything was but an illusion.


    Those who advanced would enter the next round, and those who did not would be eliminated.


    The four arenas began the battle together and it happened very quickly. Lin Tian didn''t think that after seven or eight rounds, it would be his turn.


    "Number 33, step forward!"


    Lin Tian took a step forward and the eyes of the remaining people all fell on Lin Tian.


    "Who is this person? Why haven''t I seen him before?" The crowd began to discuss in hushed voices once again.


    "I don''t know. Let''s see who his opponent is ¡­"


    At the same time, the other person who picked Number 33 also stepped forward.


    "It''s actually Little Overlord Xia Yuanba! "This kid is dead for sure, I never thought that he would be so unlucky as to actually get a seed!" Someone recognized the person who had stood out and fought with Lin Tian. It was a level four student, the famous Little Tyrant King Xia Yuanba!

 C133

    "Little tyrant?" Lin Tian heard the crowd''s discussion and also raised his head to look. Only now did he understand why everyone called this person the little overlord.


    This person had an extremely fierce appearance. His upper body was half naked, and he revealed a body full of vigorous muscles, making him seem rather powerful.


    His strength was also around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm. Among the seed students, he could be considered a top expert.


    Moreover, it seemed like this person had a long history and great reputation. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have the title of little overlord.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and without saying a word, he floated onto Stage Three, quietly waiting for the competition to begin.


    Little overlord?


    From Lin Tian''s point of view, he was just a little bastard ¡­.


    "Let''s go to war!" When the two of them stepped onto the arena, the student in charge of refereeing the competition whispered to the two of them.


    "Brat, you look unfamiliar. If I don''t kill nameless people, then tell me your name!" Xia Yuanba carefully sized up Lin Tian, but his mind did not have the slightest impression of him. It was clear that this kid was not an expert.


    "What''s my name? I''ll tell you after I beat you up." Lin Tian laughed softly.


    "You want to die?" Xia Yuanba''s expression instantly became incomparably savage, and this was the first time someone dared to speak to him in such a manner.


    "I don''t think you''ve died before!" As he said that, Xia Yuanba crazily rushed towards Lin Tian. Xia Yuanba''s body was like a cannonball, charging straight towards Lin Tian recklessly. His entire body was wrapped in an intense Essence, causing the air to become restless.


    "Compete in physical strength with mine?" Lin Tian sneered: "Then you''ve really found the right person ¡­."


    As he said that, Lin Tian unexpectedly did not dodge. His God Transforming Steps increased his speed to the limit as he instantly charged towards Xia Yuanba.


    "Is, is this boy crazy? He wants to compete in physical strength with Xia Yuanba?" One of the students preparing for battle below the arena could not help but shout out.


    "That''s right, who doesn''t know the strength of Xia Yuanba''s physical body. He is ranked first among the seeded students ¡­"


    "How tragic, this kid is probably going to be smashed into meat paste by Xia Yuanba ¡­"


    Everyone in the audience started to discuss, but without exception, no one was optimistic about Lin Tian because Lin Tian had chosen to fight Xia Yuanba head on ¡­


    However, at this moment, where the north, south, east, and west courtyards were located, a few deans asked in unison, "Step-type martial arts?"


    Those students had only seen that Lin Tian was going to fight Xia Yuanba head on, but none of them noticed that he had used a footwork martial art today ¡­


    The dean of the East Branch looked at the young man beside him and smiled gently, "This boy is a bit interesting. Pay attention to him in a bit."


    The young man nodded, but didn''t say anything.


    The West Branch President nodded slightly. He also had some anticipation for this match.


    As for the Principal of the Southern Courtyard, he said to a person beside him, "This child is not bad. If he wins, he can be dragged to our Southern Courtyard. An existence like this is neither high nor low.


    "Yes, Master."


    At the same time, the dean of the Northern Courtyard had an expectant look on his face, "This child looks pretty good. He must do his best to pull us to the Northern Courtyard. For so many years, the Northern Courtyard has been suppressed by the other three academies. It''s time to turn the tides ¡­"


    The Four Great Academies'' principals only saw Lin Tian display his footwork martial arts and didn''t care if Lin Tian won or lost. They already paid special attention to Lin Tian, of course because he had the footwork martial arts in his hands and his strength could be raised by a level. This was also the main reason they were concerned about him.


    And currently on the stage, the other three matches were relatively ordinary. The battle was not intense either, so the battle between Lin Tian and Xia Yuanba immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    Just as everyone was paying close attention to the battle between Lin Tian and Xia Yuanba.


    Lin Tian''s body and Xia Yuanba''s body completely collided. The strength of the two bodies were simply too strong, so strong that it almost twisted the surrounding energy.


    In the next moment, with a ''boom'', monstrous waves of primordial energy rippled out, enveloping the two of them.


    "What was the result?"


    Everyone nervously waited for their Essence to dissipate so they could see the final result.


    But just at this moment, a scream rang out. That scream was clearly issued from a heavy injury.


    As everyone listened, they felt a chill run down their spines ¡­


    In the next moment, a monstrous amount of Essence Qi scattered. Everyone could clearly see what was happening on the arena stage.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" A collective gasp was heard from the surroundings, and no one believed what they were seeing.


    Xia Yuanba, the genius student who was ranked number one among the seeded students, had actually lost to an unknown brat, and moreover, it was in Xia Yuanba''s most proficient area of physical strength?


    Everyone immediately felt that this was somewhat inconceivable, but the situation in front of them explained everything.


    The current Xia Yuanba was weakly lying on the stage, and the painful groans he let out from time to time was enough to prove how injured he was. On the other hand, Lin Tian had a calm face, and was completely unharmed.


    The moment he collided with Lin Tian, he felt as if the bones in his entire body had been knocked out of shape. Ever since he was young, he had been training his body, but never would he have thought that after training hard for more than ten years, he would still lose to the brat in front of him.


    Xia Yuanba''s heart was dead silent, as he laid on the ground, not moving at all.


    Lin Tian then walked over to Xia Yuanba''s side and softly said: "Like I said before, if I beat you to the ground, I will tell you my name. Listen carefully, my name is Lin Tian!"


    "Lin Tian?" Xia Yuanba was slightly startled, but quickly recovered. "You, you''re that sixth level heaven''s pride level student!"


    Xia Yuanba''s face was filled with disbelief, but in his heart, he felt much better. Lin Tian, after the release of the Proclamation of Golden Distinction, almost all the students were discussing this name, no one knew why Lin Tian was ranked as a sixth grade student. But now, Xia Yuanba understood, what Lin Tian did just now, was enough to prove everything!


    Level 6 student, Heaven''s Pride! As expected, his reputation was well-deserved.


    "Alright, your physical body is indeed stronger than ordinary people. But, it''s a pity that you touched me ¡­" Lin Tian shook his head and then gently walked down the stage.


    One had to know, the body of a dragon was the number one in the world. Although Lin Tian had never cultivated the body refining technique, his physical strength was definitely not inferior to anyone, including Xia Yuanba, who had been unceasingly training his own body since he was young!


    When Lin Tian walked off the stage, everyone was constantly sizing up Lin Tian. No one could believe that Lin Tian had actually used his physical body to defeat Xia Yuanba ¡­

 C134

    At this moment, the expressions on the heads of the four great academies changed once again.


    They naturally understood what Lin Tian''s strength meant.


    Lin Tian had actually forcefully used his physical body to defeat Xia Yuanba.


    Xia Yuanba''s strength was needless to say, they all knew in their hearts that before this, the seed was the best. Because in the past, it was very rare for there to be such a large number of celestial beings. Lin Tian had suddenly appeared with seven of them, and more importantly, this year there was also a Heaven''s Pride, a level six student!


    This was something that the headmasters of the Four Great Academies did not expect, and that was why this year''s appearance attracted the headmasters of the Four Great Academies. Before this, in any Qingzhou Academy''s selection, the headmasters of the Four Great Academies had never come before.


    It was precisely because they knew that seed level students were already enough of a genius to be an existence. Back then, countless seed level students had already become the backbone of the Four Great Academies today, so Lin Tian was actually able to defeat Xia Yuanba in one fell swoop. Moreover, it was in the area of physical body strength that Xia Yuanba excelled in the most.


    The dean of the East Branch was overflowing with smiles. He then turned to the young man beside him and said, "Tian Fang, this time, the East Branch is about to produce another top talent. Are you feeling pressured?"


    "Did the dean tell the heavens to tell the truth?" The young man called Heavencraft said indifferently.


    "Tell me about it." The smile on the Dean''s face grew even wider.


    "If this child were to meet me back then, he wouldn''t be able to last five moves ¡­" When the young man called Tian Fang said this, his face was proud and aloof.


    "Hur hur." The dean of the East Branch chuckled, but did not say anything.


    The West Branch''s dean''s eyes lit up. "This child actually has such potential. Could he be a level 5 student from the Hidden Dragon Institute?"


    "However, this child might not choose the East Branch. Our West Branch will definitely fight for it!" The West Branch Principal''s eyes flickered a few times and then he remembered Lin Tian''s appearance.


    At this moment, the eyes of the Principal of the Southern Academy dimmed. This person possesses such talent. I''m afraid that the Southern Academy is hopeless ¡­


    The Dean of the Northern Courtyard had the same expression. The Northern Courtyard had been weak for a long time, it was naturally impossible for them to recruit such a genius ¡­


    The East District was the strongest within the East District. Generally speaking, the stronger one was, the stronger they would be willing to go to the East District. According to previous experiences, all the powerful geniuses would choose the East District in the end.


    The West Branch was next, the South Branch was next, and finally the North Court.


    There were a total of four courtyards. The Northern Courtyard would always recruit the least number of geniuses each time. This was because every single time, the Northern Courtyard would almost always choose the remaining geniuses. Where would the strong geniuses come from ¡­


    Lin Tian did not know the reaction of the principal of the East, West, and North Academies. Even if he did know, he did not care because he had already decided to go to the Northern Courtyard and no one could interfere with his choice ¡­


    The elimination round proceeded very quickly, and cheers were heard from time to time from the audience.


    "Number 77, step out!"


    Elder Xiao''s voice sounded once again at this moment.


    Two people immediately stood out. Lin Tian''s eyes immediately lit up. He recognized one of them.


    Gu Yan''er.


    However, Lin Tian was not too familiar with the one Gu Yan''er was fighting. However, it seemed like her strength wasn''t weak.


    Today, he became curious. This was the first time he had seen Gu Yan''er fight. Gu Yan''er had a natural poison body, Lin Tian really wanted to know what kind of changes the strength of her poison body could bring with her cultivation during this period of time.


    Soon, Gu Yan''er and that person stood on the arena.


    You''re just a weak girl. I''m too embarrassed to make a move on you, so you should make a move first ¡­" Gu Yan''er was battling an extremely dull burly man. It would be difficult for him to kill her if he saw that she was a girl.


    "Thank you, senior apprentice-brother." Gu Yan''er smiled sweetly at the big man. After which, she walked in front of the big man and gently pounded his chest.


    The big man was startled. He didn''t seem to understand what he meant.


    The rest of the people in the crowd were all stunned as well. This, this was called taking action?


    This...


    That large man also shook his head, "Junior sister, to me, there is no way that you can do that ¡­"


    Before the burly man finished his words, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. The world spun around and he fell down heavily, unable to get up again. Not only that, white foam kept coming out from his mouth, as if he was poisoned ¡­


    "Wonderful!" Lin Tian''s eyes shined brightly. Just now, he had been constantly staring at Gu Yan''er''s movements, but Gu Yan''er''s movements didn''t fall at all in front of Lin Tian''s eyes.


    He saw something that almost no one else saw.


    When Gu Yan''er made her move just now, there was a faint green colored Yuan Qi on her arm. As she spoke of Gu Yan''er''s punch, it rushed into the big man''s body.


    "So this is the magical effect of a natural poison body?" Lin Tian instantly became interested. Gu Yan''er''s progress was simply like a leap forward, and now she could actually completely control her own poison power and turn it into a method of attack ¡­


    "This is nothing ¡­" This is very low level, very basic. I have once seen the true poison body, and I have completely developed the poison''s potential in my own body. With a wave of my hand, it is extremely toxic, able to kill tens of thousands of people in a single person. It can poison anyone without making a sound, and the enemy will not be able to detect it, so this is the true poison body! "


    Lin Tian rolled his eyes as he unhappily said: "The current Gu Yan''er has just developed the poison in her body. Who knows if she will grow stronger in the future ¡­"


    As Lin Tian and Horned Demon were talking, the heads of the Four Great Academies were also shocked. To them, they naturally understood.


    Innate Poison Body! It was actually inborn Poison Body!


    This level of physique was one in a million. It was extremely terrifying. As long as it was properly developed, it could be called a heaven''s pride expert.


    Although they knew that Gu Yan''er was only a student of the Hidden Dragon Institute, in their opinion, this Gu Yan''er was more worth recruiting.


    "Damn it, that old bastard from the East Branch is lucky ¡­"


    In the west yard, in the south yard, the North yard''s dean cursed in unison.


    The dean of the East Branch could not conceal the smile on his face no matter what.


    However, the others who did not see through Gu Yan''er''s physique were dumbfounded. Did that big man go easy on her? Has he never seen a woman before? For such an important occasion, if she were to give you a punch, wouldn''t you be able to spit white foam?

 C135

    At this moment, the burly man did not know what had happened. He fell to the ground and could not move at all.


    But at this moment, Elder Xiao''s voice sounded again, "Number 83, step out!"


    The person who stood out this time was someone Lin Tian was very familiar with, Fang Xing!


    Although he already knew that Fang Xing relied on relationships to get in, Lin Tian still felt that this Fang Xing was not simple. Previously, Lin Tian had come in contact with Fang Xing, and the moment he had displayed his Spiritual Force, Fang Xing had discovered that he was a Symbol Master of Lin Tian.


    Judging from this alone, Fang Xing was definitely not a simple person.


    Lin Tian''s heart moved. He couldn''t help but look forward to Fang Xing''s following performance.


    The other person that Fang Xing was fighting was also a seeded student. His strength had actually reached the seventh level of Qi Hai, and he was beyond powerful.


    The confrontation between these two people immediately attracted the attention of many.


    Fang Xing had an unfamiliar face as well, but everyone else was familiar with that seed.


    "It''s Qing Feng from Sky City''s Lee family!" Someone in the audience recognized the identity of the seed.


    Sky City was the second largest city under the jurisdiction of the Azure Province, only second to the Azure Province. That person was the young master of the number one family in the Sky City, the Li family''s genius.


    "Who are you? Why do you look so unfamiliar?" Qing Feng asked with his nose to the sky.


    "My name is Ye Ye ¡­" Fang Xing seriously replied with an innocent smile on his face.


    "Grandfather?" Qing Feng called out subconsciously.


    "Good boy." Fang Xing replied with a satisfied expression.


    Qing Feng''s face stiffened, but he quickly understood what was going on. He glared fiercely at Fang Xing. "You little b * stard, you dare to mess with me!"


    "You''re not obedient, grandpa is going to get angry!" Fang Xing''s face turned cold.


    "You''re courting death! Die for me!" Qing Feng''s expression instantly became incomparably gloomy. He didn''t hold back anymore. He attacked with his killing move.


    "Great Chaotic Hand!" Qing Feng let out a furious bellow as his palms exploded outwards, turning into hundreds of palm shadows as they charged towards Fang Xing in a frenzy.


    Fang Xing had no idea what was going on, so he didn''t make a move. Instead, he quietly watched as Qing Feng struck out with his palm.


    Qing Feng''s speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Fang Xing. However, just as the palm was about to land on him, Fang Xing suddenly spoke.


    "Kneel!" Fang Xing''s voice was like a thunderclap that struck right into Qing Feng''s mind.


    In the next moment, something that astonished everyone happened. Qing Feng actually knelt down obediently without the slightest hesitation or warning. Qing Feng''s body seemed to be out of his control.


    With a "plop," he knelt down before Fang Xing.


    The force from Qing Feng''s palm earlier vanished without a trace.


    Everyone felt their hairs stand on end. What kind of power was this?


    All of a sudden, Fang Xing was asking Qing Feng to kneel down, and Qing Feng didn''t even resist?


    At this moment, Qing Feng was in a dilemma. At this moment, his face was filled with fear, but his body was not under his control at all.


    The look in Fang Xing''s eyes seemed to possess an unquenchable charm, causing Qing Feng to involuntarily immerse himself within them. Li Qingfeng knew that since the moment he had looked into Fang Xing''s eyes, he had been unable to extricate himself, and could not help but stare into Fang Xing''s eyes as they sank into his.


    Fang Xing smiled. "Right? Isn''t this more obedient this way?"


    As he spoke, Fang Xing tapped Qing Feng''s forehead.


    In that instant, Qing Feng let out a mournful howl. Qing Feng felt as if his head was about to explode. He could not bear the pain any longer and fainted.


    "Hiss!" Lin Tian also sucked in a breath of cold air. However, he now knew why his organization was so strong. It was because Fang Xing was a Symbol Master!


    No mistake, he was definitely a Symbol Master.


    Just now, Lin Tian had carefully observed the situation. In the end, when Fang Xing lightly tapped the point, streams of mental power gushed out from his hand and rushed towards Qing Feng''s forehead. With Qing Feng''s strength, he was unable to withstand Fang Xing''s power, so he naturally fainted.


    The truth was revealed. No wonder when Lin Tian had first released his spiritual force to investigate Fang Xing, Fang Xing had instantly found out that he was also a Charm Magician.


    Furthermore, this was not the most crucial point. What was most frightening was that the way Fang Xing controlled his mental energy ¡ª something that Lin Tian had never seen before ¡ª was extremely terrifying.


    Fang Xing could actually control his spiritual force with his fingers!


    Mental strength was the strength of the soul and was completely different from the strength of the body. For example, Lin Tian''s mental strength could only be stored in his Divine Palace, and if he wanted to control his mental strength, it would also be under the control of his soul.


    It was impossible for him to release psychic power from within his body.


    Because these are two completely different systems.


    Now, though, it had completely changed. Fang Xing''s body was now completely different, to the point where he was able to combine the powers of the Spirit power and the fleshly body into one.


    This is too scary ¡­


    Just what was the background of this Fang Xing?


    "It''s a natural born Talisman Body!" "He is a natural born Talisman Body!" It was at this moment, Hornless'' voice suddenly rang out from within the Divine Palace.


    "I say, when I first sensed him, I already felt that it was a little strange. It turns out that he was born with a Symbol Body!" Horned Demon''s voice carried a trace of understanding.


    "What is a natural born Talisman Body?" Lin Tian didn''t know anything about this.


    It is a type of natural body, however, this kind of physique is even more terrifying. People with innate runic bodies are born to be Symbol Masters, and they are born to possess extremely terrifying Mental Energy. Moreover, they are born to form Destiny Symbol Seals. Horned Demon explained, "This is also the reason why you saw him using his own body to carry the Spirit power. It is because his power has already been completely integrated. His body was created to cultivate the Dao of Talismans ¡­"


    Lin Tian then nodded his head. No wonder he had a natural born talisman body.


    Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had already encountered quite a few heavenly beings, such as Hua Ruyi, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and even Du Feng, who possessed the Heavenly Dao Body.


    No wonder everyone said that this year''s students were dragons and phoenixes among men. Now that they thought about it, it was true. Other than them, there were five other sky creatures.


    With a physique like that of a natural born creature, he was already an absolute genius. It was no wonder that this year''s four great dean had personally come. Any one of these geniuses would be able to obtain the greatest rewards.


    However, at this moment, the other chairmen of the three courtyards were cursing in their hearts, "Bastard! That old bastard from the East District is going to be rich this time! He''s going to be rich!"


    The Director of the East Branch could not hold back his laughter at this moment, "We did not come in vain this time. The East Branch is going to be rich this time. If we were to bring these few geniuses into our East Branch, let''s see what that old thing from the West Branch will use to compete with me. Finally, he can firmly suppress the West Branch ¡­"


    The dean of the Northern Courtyard felt his heart drop to the ground. This time, he was finished. Seeing so many geniuses who weren''t his, he felt his heart ache ¡­

 C136

    When Fang Xing walked off the stage, he even winked at Lin Tian.


    Fang Xing also knew that Lin Tian was a Charm Magician, but he didn''t know why. Even though Fang Xing had a natural talisman body, he wasn''t confident that he would be stronger than Lin Tian in terms of the Talisman Dao. Fang Xing had a hunch that if he and Lin Tian clashed, he might not be able to gain the upper hand, so after some serious consideration, Fang Xing still felt that it was better to be friends with Lin Tian.


    This was also the reason why Fang Xing asked Lin Tian which courtyard he wanted to choose last night.


    Fang Xing could faintly sense that Lin Tian must still have an extremely powerful force hidden within him. This was also Lin Tian''s trump card ¡­


    He absolutely could not provoke such a person, and he even wanted to befriend him!


    Fang Xing was extremely confident in the way he viewed others.


    "Number 99, step forward." Elder Xiao''s voice sounded again at this moment.


    This time, it was Du Feng.


    Amongst this year''s students, Lin Tian knew Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng. Right now, it was Du Feng.


    It was said that the body of the Heavenly Dao could communicate with all living things in the world as well as all the power of the physique, but Lin Tian still felt that it was somewhat useless. Last time in the training field, Lin Tian had also seen it, to be honest, to say that this kind of physique was useless was naturally impossible, but to say that it was useful was something that Lin Tian absolutely did not believe.


    So, Lin Tian wanted to see what was so special about Du Feng who had the Heavenly Dao Body when it came to attacking methods.


    Fortunately, Du Feng''s opponent seemed to be a Level 3 student. He was not particularly strong, only around the fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Du Feng was already number 99. Once Du Feng''s battle was over, the elimination round would be over.


    Du Feng walked up the arena and stood still. His opponent also stood still. They bowed to each other and the battle began.


    "Kill!" Du Feng''s opponent did not hold back in the slightest and used his full strength in his palm.


    A monstrous Essence Qi wrapped around his palm as he sent a palm strike towards Du Feng.


    Du Feng''s face was indifferent, his lips slightly parted, "Ning!"


    An unusual change suddenly occurred. At this moment, a transparent wind barrier actually took the initiative to agglomerate in front of Du Feng. The wind barrier instantly formed into an extremely powerful barrier that firmly wrapped around Du Feng.


    When the opponent''s palm landed on the wind barrier, the force was immediately absorbed by the wind barrier. In the end, it still melted onto the wind barrier.


    After that opponent''s attack failed, he was not discouraged at all. With another attack, he struck towards Du Feng. At the same time, his body got closer and closer to Du Feng.


    Du Feng smiled faintly, but he didn''t mind. His lips moved yet again as he said, "Go!"


    In an instant, the barrier of wind instantly transformed into numerous sharp blades that frantically swept toward that man.


    The whole process was extremely strange.


    That person''s power was instantly sliced into pieces by the wind blades. Not only that, but most importantly, after the wind blades sliced through that person''s power, they charged toward that person again.


    In the blink of an eye, the sharp blades of wind pierced through the man''s body.


    "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." A few small wounds immediately appeared on his body.


    The man screamed miserably before falling to the ground while clutching his wound.


    Only now did Lin Tian nod his head. He could tell that Du Feng had actually held back.


    If he didn''t hold back, the power of the wind blades would have been enough to kill him. But right now, he was only heavily injured.


    Just now, Du Feng had actually borrowed the power of wind. If he thought about it like that, then wind, thunder, rain, earth, flowers, trees, plants, all these powers, wouldn''t Du Feng be able to use them ¡­?


    With this thought, the potential that Du Feng could unearth was still great.


    Within the four great courtyards, the dean of the East District had a smile blooming on his face. This time, he was truly here. With so many geniuses gathered in the East District, he couldn''t wait for the arena battle to come to an end. He wanted them to pick a candidate first ¡­


    The other directors of the other few courtyards were feeling very heavy. This time, if all the elites of the top ranks were recruited by the East District, there would be no need for them to exist in the other three courtyards ¡­


    And at this time, on the highest stand in the VIP seats, three people were quietly sitting, looking at everything happening in front of them. They were none other than the headmaster of Qingzhou Academy, Gu Qingyuan, as well as Lei Yan and Elder Zhang.


    At this moment, Elder Zhang''s face was full of smiles as he said to Lei Yan: "Instructor Lei, why don''t you and I guess which class that level 6 student, Lin Tian, will choose?"


    "The East Branch, right? The East Branch is the strongest branch academy in the Azure Province and there are many talents within it. This time, that old fellow Zhou Tian Xing even pulled that abnormal guy Wang Tian Fang over. He is probably here to recruit geniuses ¡­" Lei Yan''s gaze swept across Lin Tian''s body before finally landing on the Dean of the East Branch, Zhou Tian Xing.


    "I don''t think so." Elder Zhang shook his head and replied with a smile.


    "Oh, Elder Zhang thinks that Lin Tian will choose which institution?" Lei Yan''s interest was immediately piqued.


    "Northern Courtyard!" Elder Zhang softly spat out two words.


    "The Northern Courtyard, what kind of joke is this? Who doesn''t know that the Northern Courtyard is the last in the entire East, West, and North Courtyard?" Then, he said: "Let''s not talk about other things for the Northern Courtyard first. There are extremely few talents, and that Lin Tian has gone to look for the feeling of existence, just that, he would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head. He should know this, not to mention that even if he went to the East Branch, he might not necessarily be the phoenix tail.


    Elder Zhang smiled as he listened to Lei Yan''s rebuttal. He did not speak any further and only indifferently replied: "When it comes to choosing the branch academy, you will naturally know ¡­"


    Gu Qingyuan heard the two argue, but he didn''t say anything. No one knew what he was thinking about.


    However, when Elder Zhang spoke of the Northern Courtyard, a faint light suddenly erupted from Gu Qingyuan''s eyes. However, it soon disappeared and his face had once again recovered its calm expression.


    Lei Yan also stopped arguing.


    It was also at this moment that Elder Xiao''s voice sounded again, "The morning''s elimination round is already completely over. There will be a challenge round in the afternoon."


    As long as you succeed in the challenge, you will be able to advance to the next round. If you fail, then you will be eliminated, and there will no longer be a chance for you to advance to the next round. Elder Xiao pointed at the hundred people on the stage and laughed.


    Lin Tian naturally understood that this was to allow the strong to compete, because the first round of the knockout stage was too random. For example, two Level 2 students fought, and only one Level 2 student was eliminated. However, the students Lin Tian and the others fought were all Level 4 students, but the Level 4 students were eliminated.


    Therefore, this time''s Challenge Competition was a chance for those unlucky students in the elimination round.


    They could get another chance to prove themselves through the challenge.


    After all, at this moment, there were still quite a few second, third and even first grade students on the arena ¡­

 C137

    The Challenger League would naturally be held in the afternoon. The afternoon would also give those who wanted to participate in the Challenger League a breather.


    In the afternoon, the number of people who came to watch the arena battle had almost doubled. There weren''t even any seats left, and many people were still standing.


    Because everyone who came to watch the arena battle in the morning were all talking about the brilliance of the arena battle. Everyone knew that the Azure Province Academy had recruited quite a few genius disciples this time, and there were even some peak experts.


    As a result, it attracted more and more people.


    Lin Tian and the other 99 people that had advanced all stood on the stage, waiting for the challenger to arrive.


    Very quickly, the Challenger League began.


    On the other hand, no one came to challenge Lin Tian. It was clear that Lin Tian had used his physical body to forcefully fight against the little overlord Xia Yuanba, making Lin Tian one of the people he should not have provoked.


    As for Lin Tian, he took a look at the people waiting for the Challenge Competition to begin. Most of them were level four students, who were also seeded students, such as Xia Yuanba and Li Qingfeng, who had been injured by Fang Xing''s finger.


    These were all extremely powerful students, but what they encountered were even more powerful students of the fifth and sixth ranks.


    Therefore, they were eliminated in the first round of eliminations.


    However, there were still some students who were lucky enough to advance to the second and third ranks.


    This made Lin Tian sigh with emotion. On the path of martial arts, strength was important, but sometimes luck was also a part that couldn''t be underestimated.


    But luckily, after so many years of establishment, the Azure Province did think of a remedy, and that was the establishment of the Challenge Competition.


    With the establishment of the Challenger League, it was possible to avoid having some of the stronger students'' pearls covered in dust.


    The Challenger League was much better than the first round of knockout. After all, the challenged students were desperate to enter, but the challenged students were desperate to preserve their own positions.


    Everyone was putting all their effort into fighting. Naturally, they would not hold back when the fight started. Although it would not be a life-and-death battle, it would at least be more intense.


    However, Lin Tian''s spirit was a bit dispirited. Looking at it, he was slightly dozing off.


    However, the audience was extremely enthusiastic. They kept on cheering and cheering.


    Soon, battles broke out one after another, and most of the students were successful in their challenge. All the students were successful in their challenge, and some outstanding students of the third rank were also able to display their strength in this situation. Finally, all of them were successful in their challenge.


    The four chairmen of the four great academies were also watching the Challenge Tournament with rapt attention.


    After all, there were only a few geniuses, and most of the students were level three and level four. For example, the north and south academies could no longer recruit any top students, so they could only recruit a few geniuses from among the students.


    No one challenged Lin Tian and the others, so Lin Tian was happy that he had nothing to do.


    The Challenger League finally came to an end.


    The slots for the 100 promotions had also been completely filled.


    Lin Tian thought that he would let everyone scatter and prepare to start tomorrow''s match. Just as he was about to leave, Elder Xiao spoke.


    "Now, the quota of one hundred students to be promoted has been created. It''s the one hundred students who are standing on the stage." He then turned his gaze in the direction of the four branch academy deans and said, "Four branch academy deans, these one hundred people are about to choose a branch academy now. Why don''t you all give your respective branch academies a vote?"


    Lin Tian was startled, then he was a bit suspicious. What, according to Elder Xiao''s meaning, they were going to split up now? Wasn''t the first round of the knockout and challenge matches over? Shouldn''t there be a second round?


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask the person beside him.


    That student was a seeded student. Seeing that it was Lin Tian, he asked in surprise: "You don''t know?"


    "Know what?" Lin Tian had a face of doubt.


    That student looked at Lin Tian''s expression and confirmed that Lin Tian really did not know.


    "A hundred students will be born in the first round of eliminations and the end of the Challenge Competition. Our Azure Province will recruit a hundred students every year. In other words, the current us is already a student of the Azure Province Academy ¡­"


    "So, after the Challenger League ends, we will have to go to a branch. Which branch we choose to go to ¡­"


    The disciple patiently explained.


    "We will only be holding the second round of the competition when our branch academy completes. At this time, we will be representing our respective branch academies. The Qingzhou Main Academy will redistribute the resources of the four main academies based on the final results of the competition between the new disciples recruited by the four major academies ¡­"


    "So that''s how it is." Lin Tian suddenly understood. No wonder they were separated now. It turned out that these one hundred people were already official students of the Azure Province Academy ¡­


    At this moment, the four chairmen of the four great academies had all stood up from their seats and indicated to everyone.


    The four directions, north, south, east, and west, corresponded perfectly to the four chairmen of the four great academies.


    The Principal of the East Branch, Zhou Tianzheng, the Principal of the West Branch, Nangong Shi, the Principal of the South Courtyard, Zhang Wuya, and the Principal of the North Courtyard, Yang Qingtian.


    The principals of the Four Great Academies were all Star Realm experts. Zhou Tianzheng was the strongest, he was at the ninth level of the Star Realm, while the principal of the Northern Courtyard, Yang Qingtian, was slightly weaker, only at the seventh level of the Star Realm.


    The East Branch, which was led by Zhou Tianzheng, was number one among the Four Great Academies of the Azure Province. It had already been many years, so the East Branch was able to recruit even stronger geniuses year after year.


    In the long run, the East Branch was basically invincible within the Four Academies.


    The West Branch was ranked second every year, while the North Courtyard was ranked last every year. There were even rumors that the other three Academies would be incorporated into the East Branch, and Zhou Tian Xing was also considered Gu Qing Yuan''s successor. Once Gu Qing Yuan stepped down, the next principal of the Azure Province Academy would be Zhou Tian Xing ¡­


    That disciple said a lot, and Lin Tian basically also understood the situation.


    At this moment, Elder Xiao was already beginning to let the students choose their division.


    According to the previous number, Lin Tian was number 33.


    "Number 1, Su Chen An!" Elder Xiao shouted.


    Su Chen walked out. He glanced at the principals of the four great academies, then said in a clear voice, "Disciple Su Chen''an chose the East Branch."


    "Yes." Zhou Tian Xing nodded his head. Su Chen was a seeded student, so his strength was not bad, and his potential was also good. He was a talent that could be created.


    "Number Two, Li Jun." Elder Xiao continued reciting.


    "I choose the West Branch." The student named Li or Li spoke up.


    The East District was naturally strong, but with so many talents, resources would not fall into his hands. It would be better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. It was definitely a good idea.


    "Number 3..."


    "Number 4..."


    Soon, it was the 12th.


    Number twelve was a student named Wang Tiangang, who possessed the physique of a rare beast. After transforming into a beast, he could fight like a demonic beast, and his physique and strength would both increase. He was a born battle maniac.


    Wang Tiangang naturally obtained the competition of all the principals. The West and North Academies promised endless benefits, and even the East Courtyard''s Zhou Tianzheng put down his airs, saying that he would properly nurture Wang Tiangang.


    Wang Tiangang didn''t even have time to consider as he directly looked at Zhou Tian Xing, "Disciple chose the East Branch. Only the East Branch''s people are worthy enough for me to take action!"


    "Alright!" Zhou Tian Xing shouted and nodded his head. He was very satisfied with receiving such a student.


    The other chairmen of the other academies all had looks of knowing that they wouldn''t lose to a genius like Ye Xiwen.


    "Number 33, Lin Tian!" Lin Tian walked out.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Lin Tian.


    "Lin Tian?" The students standing in the arena, as well as those in the audience, were all stunned.


    After a long while, someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed: "He, he is that rank 6 student, the one reputed as the heaven''s pride expert, Lin Tian!"

 C138

    Many people had already heard of the name Lin Tian. After all, when the Golden Ranking was first released, the name of the level 6 student Lin Tian was deeply engraved in everyone''s mind, but no one knew who Lin Tian was.


    And today, they finally saw that number thirty-three in front of them was actually the legendary level six student, Lin Tian.


    At this moment, everyone, both on and off the stage, was boiling with excitement.


    On that day when the Proclamation of Golden Distinction was released, countless people had seen Lin Tian''s name, and today, they had finally seen his true face. Everyone turned their gazes towards Lin Tian, continuously sizing up this thousand year''s first student of level 6, the Heaven''s Pride student!


    In the beginning, everyone''s impression was that in the battle before Lin Tian, they had relied on their physical body''s strength to defeat that student called Xia Yuanba, but now, since they knew Lin Tian was a level 6 student, they had to carefully examine this level 6 student. What was so special about Lin Tian ¡­.


    At this time, Xia Yuanba also looked at Lin Tian with a complex expression. He felt a wave of bitterness in his heart: "So you''re a level 6 student. No wonder you were able to defeat me in my most proficient body domain ¡­"


    However, Xia Yuanba''s heart had also become a lot more balanced. Since he had experienced the terror of a level six student and realized the disparity, he naturally had to work even harder.


    Lin Tian also didn''t think that his appearance would attract so much attention, so he was a bit surprised.


    But at this moment, Elder Xiao had already asked: "Lin Tian, which academy do you want to choose?"


    Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "Disciple has to choose ¡­"


    "Hold on!" Just as Lin Tian was about to make his choice, the West Branch''s President, Nangong Shi, finally couldn''t bear it anymore.


    This was a level 6 student. No matter what, he had to give it a try. If he could recruit the West Branch, it would be a great thing for the West Branch.


    "Lin Tian, I am the West Branch''s President, Nangong Shi. You don''t need to tell me your choice first. First, listen to what I have to say." Nangong Shi said.


    The West Branch is ranked second to the East Branch, which proves that the strength of the West Branch is definitely not bad, just a little bit lacking in luck. The East Branch is filled with talented students, so what if you entered the East Branch with the status of a level six genius? As for the number of talented students in the East Branch, it is still unknown whether or not you, a level six student, have any talent.


    Nangong began to empathize and reason behind his actions.


    In the entire East Branch, there were countless geniuses and geniuses. Even if Lin Tian was evaluated as a heaven''s pride expert in the second round, if his performance in the East Branch was not impressive enough, the East Branch would still ignore him. The East Branch was a place where strength spoke for itself and was a strong person.


    Although the East Branch has a lot of resources, it also has a lot of geniuses, but our West Branch is different. If you join our West Branch, my Nangong Technique guarantees here that your resources will be the best in the entire West Branch. Our West Branch has an endless amount of resources, and we only lack a single genius to come.


    He was currently staring at Lin Tian with a burning gaze, waiting for Lin Tian''s answer.


    Hearing Nangong''s words, the surroundings instantly became silent, but in the next moment, it was once again boiling over.


    The other deans of the other courtyards were also shocked as they looked at the Nangong Technique. They never would have thought that the Nangong Technique would offer such a huge price. It actually allowed all of the resources to be given to Lin Tian in front of everyone.


    This, this decision was a little too hasty. Furthermore, the key point was that Nangong Shi actually said that he wanted to personally teach him ¡­


    Nan Gong was also at the ninth level of the Astral Realm, his strength was not much weaker than Zhou Tian Xing. With his careful guidance, it could be said that he had stabilized his Aurous Core stage ¡­


    The headmasters of the northern and southern factions could only helplessly look at Nan Gong Shi. This Nan Gong was really too much of a thief, to actually put forward such conditions.


    If the Nangong Technique gave these kind of conditions, they would have no chance. Even if Lin Tian did not choose the East Branch and the West Branch, it was certain that he would have to choose. There was almost no reason to reject these conditions.


    If this boy called Lin Tian chose the West Branch, it would only prove that Lin Tian''s heart wasn''t firm enough. An expert would never be afraid of facing a strong opponent, and if Lin Tian really chose the West Branch, then that person would be a true expert, and if Lin Tian Zhen was truly not a true expert, then he would be afraid of facing challenges, and just like a flower that leaves a greenhouse, he would wither away.


    Therefore, Zhou Tian Xing trusted the East Branch very much.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, Lin Tian shook his head and said: "Thank you Principal Nangong for your appreciation. It''s just that I already have a master and also believe in my own strength. I don''t need any resources to accomplish anything."


    Nangong Technique''s face immediately turned ashen. He had already stated the greatest condition he could do, but he didn''t expect it to be a failure.


    "Do you still want to choose the East Branch?" Nangong Shi asked unwillingly.


    "Disciple ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently said.


    Everyone''s gazes, all of a sudden, focused on Lin Tian.


    With the Nangong technique offering such favourable conditions, Lin Tian actually rejected it. That meant that Lin Tian would still have to choose the East Branch.


    At this moment, a hint of delight appeared on Zhou Tian Xing''s face.


    "I already said that Lin Tian will definitely choose the East Branch." In the VIP seats, Lei Yan spoke to Elder Zhang beside him.


    Elder Zhang smiled but did not reply.


    However, Lin Tian''s voice had already faintly transmitted over: "Disciple, choose the Northern Courtyard!"


    Lin Tian''s voice was indescribably calm and indifferent, but to the crowd listening, it was no different from a clap of thunder.


    "What?"


    "Is he crazy?"


    "Am I hearing things?"


    The crowd went into an uproar. Everyone looked at Lin Tian in disbelief, their hearts incomparably shocked.


    Even Elder Xiao, who presided over this matter, was stunned for a moment before asking in disbelief: "Say it again, you have to choose ¡­"


    "I choose the Northern Courtyard." Lin Tian said it again.


    This time, everyone heard it loud and clear. That''s right, it was the Northern Courtyard.


    Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard!


    "As expected." At this moment, on the stage, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng were thinking the same thing.


    Lin Tian had said long ago that he would choose the Northern Courtyard. He really didn''t lie to them and really chose the Northern Courtyard.


    Zhou Tian Xing was also stunned, but soon after his face darkened. He didn''t understand that even if Lin Tian didn''t choose the East Branch, the Nangong from the West Branch''s condition was definitely a good place to go. However, Lin Tian Dong''s West Branch didn''t have a choice, he had actually gone to the North Courtyard!


    "Truly destroying his own future ¡­" Zhou Tian Xing''s impression of Lin Tian fell to the extreme.


    The young man beside Zhou Tian Xing also let out a sneer. After which, he coldly said: "The frog in the well ¡­"


    When he was recruiting for Lin Tian, he already thought that Lin Tian would reject him, but he didn''t think that Lin Tian would reject him not because he wanted to choose the East Branch, but because he wanted to choose the North District. This made Nangong Yi unable to accept this ¡­.

 C139

    At this time, the North Courtyard Principal, Yang Qingtian, who should have been overjoyed, was in disbelief. After pausing for a while, he weakly said to the people beside him: "Is, is this real? Pinch me, quickly!"


    The person beside him was also stunned, but as Yang Qingtian had expected, he pinched Yang Qingtian viciously.


    "Pain!" "It hurts!" That''s right, Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard. This was actually real, not a dream, Lin Tian Zhen had chosen the Northern Courtyard, the Northern Courtyard, after so many years, this was the first time he had recruited such a talented student. Moreover, this talented student was the first prodigy in the history of the academy, a student at rank 6!


    Yang Qingtian''s lips were trembling with excitement. He did not know why Lin Tian had suddenly chosen the Northern Courtyard, but there was no warning. The entire Northern Courtyard had no resources, and there were not many geniuses, but why would this Lin Tian choose the Northern Courtyard?


    Yang Qingtian did not know and did not understand. Moreover, he did not intend to understand that it was enough that Lin Tian was willing to come. With such a strong genius student joining the Northern Courtyard, the Northern Courtyard would not need to be at the bottom this year ¡­


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian couldn''t help but want to yell three times into the sky, but he restrained himself.


    At this time, in the VIP seats, Lei Yan''s gaze was also stunned. When Lin Tian said he wanted to join the Northern Courtyard, Lei Yan was stunned and couldn''t recover for a long time.


    Elder Zhang, who was standing beside Lei Yan, wanted to ask something, but was unable to do so. He just couldn''t help but want to laugh ¡­


    At this moment, some thought had already appeared in Gu Qingyuan''s eyes, who was sitting beside him. After a long while, Gu Qingyuan sighed in his heart, "Yunhai, this disciple of yours, does he want to give you a proper name?"


    Gu Qingyuan had already guessed what Lin Tian was thinking, but he wasn''t too surprised in his heart. The moment Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard, he could already guess.


    Facing the crowd''s clamor, Lin Tian had a calm face, he was not surprised at all. He already understood the situation of the Northern Courtyard, and with his status as a level 6 student, if he wanted to join the Northern Courtyard, it would definitely arouse discussion and surprise. Lin Tian had already thought of it.


    When Xiao Yunhai was in the Northern Courtyard, the Northern Courtyard definitely would not decline like this. He was a disciple of Xiao Yunhai, and the branch which his master was in, had now declined, so no matter what was going on, Lin Tian still had the responsibility to restore the Northern Courtyard back to its former glory ¡­


    Lin Tian had this kind of simple thought in his heart.


    However, the current Elder Xiao could not help but ask: "Lin Tian, the reason for choosing the Northern Courtyard, or the reason, can you tell me?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Elder Xiao, those students that chose the division previously didn''t seem to have said anything about their reason right? How could I ¡­"


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to say it!" Elder Xiao immediately came back to his senses. He regretted it the moment he said those words just now. He was the main organizer of the arena battle, so he was very clear on the rules. Any student who chose any branch was a student''s freedom.


    "Since Elder Xiao has asked, I will naturally have to answer." Lin Tian slightly smiled and then took two steps forward.


    Everyone''s eyes were already on Lin Tian. They were all looking forward to what Lin Tian would say. Even Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing''s gazes were all focused on Lin Tian. They wanted to know why Lin Tian had chosen the Northern Courtyard and given up on the strongest East Branch.


    "Because disciple wants the Northern Courtyard to become number one among the Four Great Academies!"


    Because this disciple wants the Northern Courtyard to regain its former glory in my hands. I want everyone to know that the Northern Courtyard can also attract peerless geniuses, and the geniuses of the Northern Courtyard can also ascend to the Proclamation of Azure Sky, or even the Hidden Dragon Rank. Moreover, the Northern Courtyard has never been weaker than any of the other three branches!" "Lin Tian''s voice rang out like a thunderclap, shaking everyone''s eardrums.


    "Alright!" Yang Qingtian''s lips trembled violently. After so many years, Lin Tian''s words this time made Yang Qingtian want to cry.


    The Northern Courtyard had always been at the bottom of the Four Great Academies for many years, and word had been spreading all over the world that everyone was looking at the Northern Courtyard. Even now, when the Northern Courtyard was recruiting students, the students were all ashamed to enter the Northern Courtyard.


    After so many years, Lin Tian was the first genius who was willing to take the initiative and join the Northern Courtyard!


    Moreover, he was a rank 6 genius!


    And Lin Tian''s words just now had stabbed Yang Qingtian''s heart. Yang Qingtian had always worked hard to teach all the genius students of the Northern Courtyard, all for the sake of one day, their Northern Courtyard being able to openly stand on the same level as the other three courtyards. It was not like this, where standing in front of others, they would feel inferior.


    "Boasting shamelessly!" After Zhou Tian Xing heard Lin Tian''s words, he couldn''t help but snort coldly.


    Their East Branch had accumulated for so many years, that was why they had their current status and strength. He, Lin Tian, wanted to rely on his own strength to make the North Courtyard stand shoulder to shoulder with their East Courtyard?


    Who did he think he was? Savior?


    He had to have the ability to boast. With his status as a rank 6 student who was practically flooded with water, he could boast shamelessly. It seemed like this kid really did not understand the difference in strength between the four great academies.


    Zhou Tian Xing originally had a good impression of Lin Tian, but after Lin Tian had said that he would choose the Northern Courtyard, Zhou Tian Xing''s impression of Lin Tian had been greatly reduced. With Lin Tian''s words, Zhou Tian Xing''s impression of Lin Tian was even worse ¡­


    The Nangong Technique also shook its head. Very clearly, Lin Tian had a wild imagination. The Northern Courtyard had such a long period of weakness and could not rely on a single person to return to its peak in a short period of time ¡­


    The only thing he was worried about was that once Lin Tian went to the Northern Courtyard, the Southern Courtyard would be in danger this year. Perhaps the Southern Courtyard would be at the bottom this year, and the difference in strength between the Southern Courtyard and the Northern Courtyard would not be great. However, with the Northern Courtyard recruiting students this year, the Southern Courtyard would no longer be able to recruit students like Lin Tian.


    Perhaps Lin Tian was unable to help the Northern Courtyard surpass the East Branch and the West Branch in a short period of time, but Lin Tian was completely able to help the Northern Courtyard surpass the Southern Courtyard!

 C140

    Lin Tian didn''t care about the crowd''s surprise, doubt, and incredulous gazes. Instead, he took another step forward.


    You may think I''m crazy, but I''m just boasting. But who am I? I''m a Chosen!" "It is precisely because I, Lin Tian, am a heaven''s pride expert that I have to say that I will definitely do everything I said just now. Moreover, the Northern Courtyard and I, Lin Tian, will definitely from today onwards become the nightmares of all the students, instructors, and the principals of the other three academies!


    With that said, the entire audience boiled up. Before choosing the branch academy, Lin Tian did not have such a domineering attitude, but after choosing the north courtyard, Lin Tian actually became more domineering.


    Saying this, Lin Tian''s gaze once again fell onto all the students on the stage.


    "Tomorrow is the second round of the competition, which will represent the various divisions. Tomorrow, I will let all of you know why I have the courage to say these words!" When these words came out, the faces of all the students on the arena changed. What did Lin Tian mean by saying this? Threatening?


    Did he mean that if he did not choose the Northern Courtyard, he would have to become Lin Tian''s enemy?


    Suddenly, everyone looked at Lin Tian with faces full of anger. Did they really think that he was amazing as a level 6 student? Did they really think that they were green onions?!


    However, there were also some students who had a glimmer in their eyes at this moment.


    Lin Tian''s strength had already left an extremely deep impression in their hearts. Especially towards the battle with Xia Yuanba, the crowd no longer dared to look down on Lin Tian.


    Why don''t we also choose the Northern Courtyard?


    At this moment, some of the students'' hearts were already slightly shaken. They naturally knew that the following matches were all for the sake of competing for resources, and every year, the Azure Province would give out a large amount of resources to the Four Great Academies.


    Moreover, with the strength of many students, they were originally unable to enter the East District, and even the West District barely managed to enter. Even if they did, it would be very difficult to show off their skills in this place that was full of experts, but the North District might become the focus of attention ¡­


    In an instant, the thoughts of everyone on the arena changed.


    Lin Tian naturally detected the change in everyone''s expressions. The corner of his mouth slightly hooked up into a smile. It seemed like he had already achieved his goal.


    The weakness of the Northern Courtyard was caused by the long-term weakness, so it was impossible for him to rely on himself. Thus, he thought of this method, first making himself appear extremely arrogant, then adding on to what he had said just now, his reason was very simple, it was to let them know that if they chose other academies, then at that time, they would be opponents against Lin Tian. The powerful students would naturally not be afraid of Lin Tian, which was why they glared at him.


    This way, they would most likely choose the Northern Courtyard.


    "Lin Tian, pay attention to your attitude when you speak!" At this time, Elder Xiao coldly snorted and warned Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian didn''t say much and directly returned to his seat.


    "Number 34!" At this moment, Elder Xiao continued to call out numbers.


    "Next, number 77, Gu Yan''er, step forward!" Elder Xiao''s voice resounded throughout the entire Martial Arts Practice Hall.


    Gu Yan''er directly walked out of the line and her gaze unnoticeably swept across Lin Tian. After that, she softly said: "Disciple, disciple chooses the Northern Courtyard!"


    Instantly, the audience once again burst into an uproar, and the four chairmen of the four great academies were stunned on the spot.


    The four of them had a deep impression of Gu Yan''er. This little girl was a level 5 student with a natural poison body. If she was to develop it well, she would definitely become a powerful figure in the future.


    This was the first time something like this had happened. In the past years of the East Branch, as long as they possessed a Celestial Body, they had all chosen the East Branch without any mishaps. But now, this extremely powerful innate poison had actually chosen the North District ¡­


    Nangong Technique, Zhang Wuya also stared blankly at Gu Yan''er. He did not know why Gu Yan''er chose the Northern Courtyard.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian''s face was flushed red. This, happiness seemed to have come too suddenly, causing him to suddenly be unable to accept it ¡­


    In reality, ever since Lin Tian had chosen to join the Northern Courtyard, there were already seven to eight seeded students in succession. In fact, ever since Lin Tian had chosen to join the Northern Courtyard, there had already been seven to eight seeded students in succession.


    "Let me explain my reason." Gu Yan''er smiled sweetly before turning around and pointing at Lin Tian, she said: "I don''t want to meet him in the competition ¡­"


    Saying that, Gu Yan''er returned to her seat, leaving everyone stunned. What Gu Yan''er meant just now was that she, with her innate poison body, was afraid of encountering Lin Tian. Just how strong was Lin Tian ¡­


    "Next, number eighty-three, Fang Xing!" Elder Xiao''s voice sounded again.


    Fang Xing walked out as well and swept his gaze across the crowd. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Disciple, disciple has chosen to ¡­"


    "Northern Courtyard!" Fang Xing let out a light breath before quietly replying.


    "It''s the Northern Courtyard again!" Everyone was already numb to it, it was the Northern Courtyard again.


    Zhou Tian Xing, Zhang Wu Ya, and Nan Gong Shi were all shocked.


    Fang Xing, who had a physique that was born with the physique of a Talisman, had also chosen the Northern Courtyard.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian''s old face was filled with a smile. Natural born Talisman Body, natural born Poison Body, and a Heaven''s Pride student. This was a sign of the Northern Courtyard''s prosperity!


    Fang Xing ignored everyone''s reaction, turning his gaze towards Lin Tian as well. "My reason is very simple. I don''t want to be his opponent either!"


    With that, Fang Xing returned to the group.


    "Next, number 99, Du Feng!"


    Du Feng stepped out, expressionless, and directly said, "Disciple chooses the Northern Courtyard!"


    "It''s the Northern Courtyard again!"


    "Are they crazy?"


    "We discussed it. It''s the Northern Courtyard again!"


    The crowd went into an uproar. They didn''t expect that they would all choose the Northern Courtyard.


    "Crazy, crazy, crazy!" He naturally knew that Du Feng possessed the Heavenly Energy, but now, he had actually chosen the Northern Courtyard. Currently, the Northern Courtyard had already reaped three Heavenly Creature Bodies!


    "Hahahaha!" At this moment, Yang Qingtian finally couldn''t hold back his wild laughter.


    The Northern Courtyard. The Northern Courtyard was finally about to rise!

 C141

    At this moment, the three Hidden Dragon students and one Heaven''s Pride student had all chosen the Northern Courtyard.


    This had never happened before in the nearly ten years of history of the Azure Province Academy, but now, because of this student called Lin Tian, the situation of the Northern Courtyard changed.


    The three Hidden Dragon students, if they were right, it was because Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard.


    Of course, because of Lin Tian''s guidance, the Northern Courtyard also recruited quite a few level four seed students.


    In this way, this year''s Northern Courtyard could be considered as having recruited a group of students with the greatest potential and overall strength in the past ten years.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian was completely immersed in great joy, and was unable to regain his senses for a long time.


    The other chairmen of the other courtyards looked at Yang Qingtian with envy and disbelief.


    How could he let Yang Qingtian pick up such a great deal of money all of a sudden?


    However, the division this round was originally only chosen by the students. None of them could intervene, so in the end, no one could interfere with which academy Lin Tian and the others chose.


    Du Feng was already number 99. As a result, all one hundred students on the stage were now completely divided.


    The branch court''s situation had already been completely settled. No matter what objections other people had, it was all useless. They could only accept the final result.


    At this moment, it was already close to dusk and the crowd began to disperse one after another. Today''s competition was about to end.


    Tomorrow, there will be more competitions. However, the division is already over. The next competitions will be between the teachers and students of each division. The competition will begin.


    The following matches were actually for the sake of competing for resources. Every year, the Azure Province Academy would have medicinal pills, weapons, and even martial arts secret manuals from the Royal family. These were all necessary resources for martial arts cultivation.


    And the allocation of these resources was to rely on the students who had just been allocated to fight, and then, the distribution of resources would be based on the results.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. It wasn''t because he was conceited. He had watched all the battles between the students, but he really hadn''t found any existence that could fight him.


    So, in regards to tomorrow''s competition, Lin Tian was not too worried. Standing during the day, he was a bit tired. Lin Tian cultivated for a while, then laid down and fell into a deep sleep.


    But at this moment, the residences of the Four Great Academies were brightly lit. No one could sleep.


    In the room of the East Branch Principal, Zhou Tianzheng, the young man who had been following him during the day was also impressively in his room.


    That young man was called Wang Tian Fang, a monstrous genius of the East District, a top expert on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. He was even an expert on the Hidden Dragon Rank from the Five Great Academies in Tian Luo Kingdom.


    The purpose of the Dean of the East District, Zhou Tianzheng, was to encourage all the students to join the East District. But from the looks of it, Wang Tian Fang didn''t seem to have played any role.


    Those students all chose the Northern Courtyard.


    "Tian Fang, tell me, do you think Principal Gu is implying that the East Branch is using a checks and balances technique to get stronger and stronger?" Zhou Tian Xing couldn''t help but ask Wang Tian Fang.


    "Probably not." Wang Tianfang shook his head and said, "The East Branch has been strong for so many years, but Dean Gu has never said a single word. If you want to balance things, you should have chosen to do so long ago."


    "That''s true." Even so, he was still a bit uneasy in his heart. After all, everyone knew that once Gu Qingyuan went down, it was very likely that he would be the one to ascend to the throne, and Zhou Tian Xing was going to take over his position. It was hard to say if Gu Qing Yuan had any other thoughts, but even if they thought about it, they couldn''t be sure that Gu Qing Yuan''s strength was much stronger than Zhou Tian''s. Even if Gu Qing Yuan no longer continued to be the Principal of the Azure Province, it was still possible that he could become the successor of the Imperial Family.


    I originally thought that being ranked as a level 6 student would make him the first genius of the Azure Province in a thousand years. But now, it seems that I am somewhat disappointed, this child is just an appearance, his strength is not that strong. When I was in the Exquisite Pagoda trial, I did not awaken my own Black Tortoise bloodline, if I had, I would have also become the first level 6 student in the history of the Azure Province.


    Wang Tianfang softly consoled Zhou Tianzheng. His tone was filled with disdain.


    Today, he had accompanied Zhou Tian Xing throughout the entire competition to watch today''s competition. Naturally, he had seen Lin Tian''s performance in his eyes. Honestly speaking, Wang Tian Fang did not really put Lin Tian in his eyes.


    He was far from reaching the level of a top genius. When he was on the Hidden Dragon Rank, he had met those experts on the Hidden Dragon Rank. Those experts'' strengths were all much stronger than Lin Tian, and they were all existences that could be killed in an instant.


    "However, those few heavenly beings are pretty good. However, if they want to cause any big waves, it''s basically impossible ¡­" Wang Tianfang thought of Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing. To him, the true potential of the student called Lin Tian, who was at the sixth rank, was inferior to that of these few Sky lifeforms.


    But even so, Wang Tian Fang had never placed them in his eyes.


    A natural body was very powerful, not bad at all. However, it still had to grow. Only then could a natural body become powerful. Wang Tian Fang couldn''t just look down on a natural body that hadn''t matured yet.


    Furthermore, the Northern Courtyard''s weakness was not a one-day achievement. So what if they had a few sky creatures? They could at most improve a little, but wanting to become a dragon gate was simply wishful thinking. Wang Tian Fang did not care about this matter at all.


    However, he could only think of these words in his heart, but he could not say them out loud.


    Zhou Tian Xing naturally saw through Wang Tian Fang''s thoughts and couldn''t help but be worried. He knew that there was some truth to it, but for some reason, he felt that something was amiss. However, he couldn''t pinpoint exactly what was amiss.


    As opposed to Zhou Tian Xing''s worry, the North District''s Principal Yang Qing Tian was still in a state of great surprise, unable to extricate himself from it.


    He also did not expect that such a big surprise would be waiting for him at the headquarters.


    He was a level 6 student, he had three sky bodies, a dozen level 4 seeds and a few level 3 students.


    His harvest this time was the biggest in the past ten years.


    The Northern Courtyard. The Northern Courtyard had finally flipped over.


    The West Branch''s Principal, Nangong Shi, could also not understand why Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard.


    As for the Principal of the Southern Courtyard, Zhang Wuya, he was also worried. All these years, the Southern Courtyard had been steadily suppressing the Northern Courtyard, but now, the Northern Courtyard had obtained so many geniuses. It was likely that they would be able to make a comeback this year.


    Thinking of this, Zhang Wuya didn''t even have the mood to sleep. How sad!

 C142

    On the second day, Lin Tian and the rest of the people who had advanced earlier had all arrived at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.


    Everyone knew that today''s battle would definitely be a peak confrontation. Yesterday''s event at the branch academy was known by almost everyone, and the commotion was known by almost everyone in the Azure Province. So, from today onwards, everyone came to watch, as they wanted to know what kind of surprise would occur today.


    Hence, this time around, almost everyone from the entire Azure Continent came.


    The principals of the Four Great Academies were all gathered together this time around. They were no longer seated in four seats. After all, this was the first time that the strength of the students they had recruited had been truly tested.


    Furthermore, the competition today was different from before.


    At this moment, when everyone was present, Elder Xiao spoke to the crowd below, "Today is the second day of the arena battle, and also the first competition for all of these students since they have gone through a branch academy. This old man thanks everyone here for their support, and is extremely grateful."


    "Next, the second round of the arena battle, group matches!" Elder Xiao said to the crowd with a smile.


    The rules of the group stage are very simple. Now that the four academies have succeeded in dividing the four academies, all the students in the four academies are divided into four groups. Each group will be composed of the strongest ten students of the four academies, and the forty students selected by the four academies will be mixed, divided into the new four groups.


    With that, Elder Xiao turned to the crowd and asked, "Did you all understand?"


    "Understood." Everyone answered in unison.


    The rules were indeed very clear. The four great academies would elect the strongest ten students and then once again disrupt the process. They would split into four groups and engage in battle.


    According to the result of the battle, the points would be calculated and the final ranking would be obtained.


    As he spoke, the four chairmen of the four great academies had already given him the final choice.


    In the previous knockout and challenge rounds, the four chairmen of the four great academies had more or less found out the strength of the students they had accepted.


    Not long later, Elder Xiao had already gotten the name list in his hands.


    "The East Branch has sent out Wang Tiangang, Li Yuanming ¡­"


    "West Branch ¡­"


    "Southern Courtyard ¡­"


    "The northern courtyard has Lin Tian, Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing ¡­"


    Every time Elder Xiao read out a person''s name, that student would walk out from the group and stand at his own position.


    There were a total of forty people, divided into four squads.


    Hence, this time, they were split up by Elder Xiao, Gu Qing Yuan, Lei Yan and Old Zhang. Although no one knew how they would divide it, no matter what, the difference in strength was not divided into groups. This was because if one wanted to watch a battle, one had to be equally matched.


    Before long, the final result of the division was out. All the students were quietly waiting for Elder Xiao''s final result.


    "Alright, next, I will announce the candidates for the first group."


    "Lin Tian, Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, Wang Tiangang, Gu Qingling, Zhang Taixu, Ji Qingyun, Su Tian, Chu Chen."


    The second group.


    The third group.


    The fourth group.


    The four groups had been thoroughly divided.


    When they reached the first group, everyone''s faces became extremely excited.


    At this moment, the four chairmen of the four academies had stunned and complicated looks on their faces as they looked at the highest point of the martial arts practice field.


    In the first group, Lin Tian was the first Level 6 student in the history of Qingzhou Academy, Gu Yan''er, Du Qingling, Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Ji Qingyun, Chu Chen, these seven were all Level 5 Hidden Dragon students. In the first group, Lin Tian was the first Level 6 student in the history of Qingzhou Academy, Gu Yan''er, Du Qingling, Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Ji Qingyun, Chu Chen, these seven were all Level 5 students.


    Moreover, the potential that he had displayed was completely superior to that of a rank 5 student. The frightening aspects of his natural physique had yet to be revealed at all.


    There was a level 6 student, eight level 5 students, and Su Tian.


    This student called Su Tian was even more terrifying. Although he was a rank 4 student, the strength he displayed in the first round was not inferior to any rank 5 student.


    In fact, it was even more terrifying.


    However, no one knew the origin of this student called Su Tian. This student seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, but he rose up like a comet, and in the first round of the knockout competition, he faced off against the same level four seed. However, that seed was defeated by Su Tian without even being able to take a single blow.


    It was such a terrifying existence, but now, when they were split into groups, they had all been placed in the first group.


    Everyone had already guessed what Gu Qingyuan and the others were thinking.


    Terrifying, too terrifying.


    Everyone was muttering to themselves.


    The four chairmen of the four great academies were also somewhat surprised. At the same time, they were unsure in their hearts. With so many geniuses, what kind of sparks would be created if they were to fight in a revolving battle ¡­


    Lin Tian was also surprised when he heard about this division, but he quickly regained his calm.


    Geniuses. The students in this group were all top geniuses. The first group could be said to be the gathering of all the top geniuses that the Azure Province school recruited this year.


    But because of this, Lin Tian was slightly excited in his heart. Only a collision between geniuses could truly create a strong spark.


    Only by competing with geniuses would he be able to bring out his true potential.


    Lin Tian was a typical strong opponent. This time, he should be able to fight to his heart''s content.


    The ten of them looked at each other. From everyone''s eyes, one could tell that they were very competitive.


    It was obvious that everyone was filled with anticipation towards this battle.


    Only the strong could make them stronger.


    Even Du Feng, Gu Yaner, and Fang Xing had strange glints in their eyes.


    At this moment, everyone in the audience had already started to boil. They were all looking forward to the clash between the strong.


    This year''s arena battle was going to be the most powerful, most exciting, and most intense battle in all of history.

 C143

    "Alright, the division is done. Next, all the students, prepare yourselves. There are a total of four arenas here. After a while, all four arenas will begin the battle. However, before the battle begins, come here to draw lots!" Elder Xiao''s eyes swept across everyone. A strange smile appeared on his face as he spoke to everyone.


    "Another draw ¡­" The ten people of the first group were already standing together. Wang Tiangang, who had chosen the East Branch, had a natural born beast spirit body.


    Honestly speaking, the strength of all ten of them is already strong enough. It doesn''t matter if they draw lots or not. After all, this is a war of attrition. The purpose of drawing lots is nothing more than to decide who to fight first ¡­


    Very quickly, the ten people finished drawing lots. Lin Tian got number 1.


    "Good, now you all have numbers that belong to you. Now, I declare, # 1 against # 10!"


    Lin Tian was startled. This was actually such a battle style.


    Who would have thought that the first match would begin?


    Lin Tian took a step forward and looked at the surrounding people.


    The next moment, when Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, and Fang Xing saw Lin Tian walk out, they all let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, they didn''t meet Lin Tian in the first round.


    The others didn''t have any reaction either.


    Lin Tian slightly froze, what, no one got number 10?


    But in the next moment, a rough laugh was heard: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I never thought that I would meet the legendary level 6 student in the first round. Lin Tian, your opponent is me!"


    Just at this time, Wang Tiangang suddenly took a step forward and stared at Lin Tian with a burning gaze.


    No one had expected that Lin Tian would meet Wang Tiangang in the first round.


    "I would like to see what is so scary about you, the only student of rank 6 in a thousand years ¡­" Wang Tiangang was already dissatisfied with Lin Tian. He, Lin Tian, did not possess a heavenly body, so his strength was only mediocre. How could he be a sixth rank student?


    If it weren''t for the fact that the reputation of the Azure Province had always been exceptional in the past thousand years, Wang Tiangang would have suspected that there was a problem with the teacher in charge of the exam, causing Lin Tian to be a level 6 student.


    Also, when he had originally chosen the branch, Lin Tian''s arrogant tone had already made Wang Tiangang feel unhappy. He had chosen the East District, but Lin Tian had actually chosen the North District, with his identity as a level six student of Lin Tian, choosing the North District was already very eye-catching. Later on, because Lin Tian had chosen the North District, he had even brought along three Heavenly Bodies for the North District.


    Today, he did not expect to meet Lin Tian in the first round, so he could not let him go. He wanted to completely strip off the halo of Lin Tian''s level 6 student and let everyone see, this so called level 6 student was only so-so. And the true genius, the son of the Heaven''s Pride, was him, Wang Tiangang!


    Wang Tiangang''s thoughts were already written all over his face. Lin Tian had seen through him with just a glance.


    However, Lin Tian was too lazy to say anything. This kind of person, with your strength, you can completely defeat him.


    "Haha, Principal, it seems like the title of a level 6 student like Lin Tian will end here today. He actually encountered an existence like Wang Tiangang in the first round." At this moment, Wang Tianfang, who was standing beside the dean of the East Branch, spoke softly.


    Zhou Tian Xing slightly nodded his head, then laughed and agreed: "Wang Tiangang is a natural born beast spirit, his strength cannot be underestimated, and in the first round of the elimination round, Wang Tiangang did not use his beast spirit body, so I do not know how strong his beast spirit is, but to that Lin Tian, this is a test, and to be honest, I am also looking forward to this battle. It can be said that Wang Tiangang is the touchstone to test Lin Tian''s strength."


    "Wang Tiangang!" At the same time, the North Courtyard President Yang Qingtian''s gaze suddenly focused. Earlier, he had noticed this Wang Tiangang in the elimination round. With his innate beast spirit body, he possessed an endless amount of power.


    Lin Tian naturally did not know of the crowd''s reactions. At this moment, he was already standing on the stage together with Wang Tiangang.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were filled with calmness, but in Wang Tiangang''s eyes, it was a calmness that Lin Tian had forcefully put on in order to hide the fear in his heart.


    "If you''re afraid of death, just admit defeat. I won''t kill you." Wang Tiangang chuckled as he spoke, his tone filled with ridicule.


    Lin Tian lightly smiled and said in a light tone: "These words are what I want to tell you. If you are afraid of death when you make your move later on, remember to kneel and beg for mercy. I will let you go."


    "Boasting shamelessly, let''s see how you will die later on!" Wang Tiangang''s face immediately turned angry.


    At the same time, a strong Essence Qi began to gather on his body.


    Looking at that origin energy fluctuation, this Wang Tiangang was actually still at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Compared to Lin Tian, his strength was actually one level higher.


    However, Lin Tian was not afraid either. His true combat strength was much higher than a seventh level Qi Hai warrior. If Lin Tian was forced to fight, then even if it was an Aurous Core stage expert, Lin Tian would still have the strength to fight him!


    "Begin!" With the order of the referee, the battle began.


    At this moment, the gazes of everyone in the training field all landed on Arena One.


    Wang Tiangang was the first to make his move. The moment he made his move, it was an incomparably powerful palm strike.


    Wang Tiangang''s techniques, when unleashed, were incomparably ferocious and extremely compatible with his name.


    When he made his move, the force behind it was more than a thousand jin. A vast amount of Essence wrapped around Wang Tiangang''s huge palm, and fiercely smashed it towards Lin Tian.


    "A thousand catties!"


    Wang Tiangang snarled. Then, he gathered all of his power into that palm.


    Lin Tian did not make a sound. He changed his forms with the God Transforming Steps and dodged Wang Tiangang''s palm strike. At the same time, his Essence gathered as his palm also arrived in front of Wang Tiangang.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian roared out, the Heaven Collapsing Palm strike was infused with Essence, and instantly exploded in front of Wang Tiangang.


    "Kid, do you only know how to dodge?" Wang Tiangang''s eyes were filled with contempt, not caring in the slightest as he used his body to block Lin Tian''s palm. His feet moved, and in the next moment, he also appeared on Lin Tian''s body.


    "Roar!" The instant the Heaven Collapsing Palm exploded, Wang Tiangang was forced to retreat.


    A roar that sounded like that of a demon beast suddenly came from above Wang Tiangang''s head. At this moment, a tiger head actually appeared above his head and swallowed Lin Tian''s Sky Collapsing Palm power into his mouth.


    Lin Tian''s Heaven Collapsing Palm strength had disappeared without a trace!

 C144

    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled as he carefully looked at the top of Wang Tiangang''s head.


    That''s right, the power of his Heaven Collapsing Palm had indeed been devoured.


    Wang Tiangang currently had a lively tiger head on his head, and it was extremely sinister. His eyes were filled with a fierce light as he stared at Lin Tian, as if he could pounce over at any time and swallow Lin Tian whole.


    Just now, it was that tiger head that had swallowed Lin Tian''s palm attack.


    "Kid, aren''t you very arrogant?" Wang Tiangang looked at Lin Tian''s astonished expression and felt an indescribable happiness in his heart. At the same time, the tiger head above his head suddenly roared and in the next moment, all of the Essence Qi in his body gathered together and crazily swept towards Lin Tian.


    "Tiger Roar Style!" Endless amounts of Essence Qi gathered in Wang Tiangang''s hand, transforming into a ferocious tiger head that pounced towards Lin Tian.


    This was the terrifying aspect of a beast spirit.


    The tiger head above his head was one of his innate abilities, using the power of the beast''s spirit for his own use.


    "The power of a beast spirit ¡­ Wang Tiangang has actually used the power of a beast spirit." Some of the more knowledgeable among the audience shouted out.


    "That kid is in danger."


    "I never thought that Wang Tiangang''s beast spirit would be that of a Tianxin Tiger." At this moment, the Dean of the East Branch, Zhou Tianzheng, also sighed in a low voice.


    The Heavenly Heart Tiger was one of the ancient mutated demon beasts. Now that it was on the Sky Dragon Continent, there was no longer any trace of this kind of mutated demon beast.


    This beast was extremely powerful. It had actually turned into a beast spirit this time, and became a part of Wang Tiangang''s body. This meant that Wang Tiangang could completely channel the beast spirit energy, turning it into his own power.


    Of course, with the support of the Celestial Heart Tiger''s spirit, Wang Tiangang''s battle power far surpassed those of the same cultivation level. Even if Wang Tiangang himself was at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, he could easily challenge those of the Aurous Core stage.


    "Roar!" The monstrous might of the voice was incomparably terrifying. In the next moment, a ferocious tiger head directly bit down towards Lin Tian, as if it could devour him at any time.


    Everyone''s gaze froze as they stared dumbfoundedly at what was in front of them. If Lin Tian could not block it, then he would very likely be killed by Wang Tiangang''s move.


    However, the current Lin Tian was actually frozen in place without any sort of reaction.


    "Be careful!" Gu Yan''er, who was watching from the arena, could not help but cry out.


    Du Feng and Fang Xing looked anxiously at Lin Tian, both sweating for him.


    Lin Tian acted as if he didn''t hear it and still blankly watched the tiger head crazily fall down towards him, but when the tiger head landed on Lin Tian''s body and was about to bite him, Lin Tian suddenly raised his head and stared straight at the tiger head.


    At the same time, transparent powers suddenly appeared in front of Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, the boundless energy turned into numerous sharp arrows, and in the blink of an eye, they charged towards the ferocious tiger head.


    BOOM! BOOM! The moment the tiger head and the sharp arrow collided, the Essence Tiger head scattered and shattered.


    At the moment when the arrows pierced through the head of the tiger, they shot forth once again, flying straight for Wang Tiangang''s body.


    Wang Tiangang had completely not recovered from his shock. He had thought that the Essence Tiger Head that he had condensed would be able to directly kill Lin Tian, but he did not expect that Lin Tian would still have the strength to fight back.


    By the time Wang Tiangang came back to his senses, it was already too late. What Lin Tian had just displayed was nothing else but the Primordial Spirit Thorn.


    Perhaps other people might not have any good methods to deal with Wang Tiangang, but to Lin Tian, everything was too simple. The power of the beast spirit, in other words, Wang Tiangang had awakened a beast spirit, and the beast spirit could help him in battle.


    In other words, this beast spirit was a part of Wang Tiangang''s soul, and it was too simple for Lin Tian to deal with.


    He was a Symbol Master, and his mental strength was incomparably strong. Moreover, he possessed a Symbol Technique to attack Wang Tiangang''s soul or something like that.


    For a moment, Wang Tiangang was completely unable to react. He stared blankly at the strands of invisible spiritual power charging toward him. By the time he wanted to block them, it was already too late.


    The numerous invisible forces instantly passed through Wang Tiangang''s body.


    AHH!" Wang Tiangang let out a miserable shriek.


    At the same time, he angrily shouted, "You! You''re a Symbol Master!"


    Lin Tian smiled: "Congratulations, you guessed right."


    Wang Tiangang painfully held his head. At this moment, everyone below had seen the extremely terrifying scene just now. The tiger head above Wang Tiangang''s head was penetrated by an extremely terrifying force just a moment ago. In the next moment, the tiger head was on the verge of death.


    Wang Tiangang spat out a mouthful of blood and half knelt on the stage. His entire body was trembling as he kept twitching. That strike just now had injured his soul and his beast spirit energy was already on the verge of collapsing.


    Wang Tiangang venomously stared at Lin Tian: "That Lin, this hatred is irreconcilable, you ¡­."


    "Bam!" Without waiting for Wang Tiangang to finish speaking, Lin Tianhua took a step forward and with a kick, sent Wang Tiangang flying.


    "You lost and yet you are still so arrogant. Do you think that I do not exist? If you want to take revenge, you have to beat me first ¡­" Lin Tian disdainfully ridiculed Wang Tiangang.


    Everyone was shocked, not because Lin Tian had defeated Wang Tiangang, but because of Lin Tian''s final move.


    He actually kicked Wang Tiangang away with a single kick, sending him flying ¡­


    Wang Tiangang was a Heavenly Spirit, a rank 5 student from the Hidden Dragon Institute, one of the top students in the Azure Province.


    But was he kicked flying by Lin Tian?


    Everyone had come to watch the show, they had only seen Lin Tian humiliate Wang Tiangang.


    However, to those who were watching the door, they were also surprised.


    What they were shocked about was not anything else, but Lin Tian''s other identity.


    "Symbol Master!" "He''s actually a Symbol Master!" Zhou Tian Xing said with a trembling voice.


    "So he''s actually hiding his strength. No wonder he''s so arrogant." Wang Tianfang, who was beside Zhou Tian Xing, had also withdrawn his proud and aloof expression. At this moment, he was somewhat shocked in his heart.


    A Symbol Master was a troublesome matter. The strength and status of a Symbol Master could not be underestimated.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian''s face was full of excitement, his lips were trembling as he said: "I''ve picked up a treasure, I''ve picked up a treasure ¡­."


    Lin Tian had this kind of strength, and he was also a Symbol Master. It could be imagined that for the Northern Courtyard that was weak, this was simply a heavenly harvest.


    At this moment, Fang Xing, who was on the stage, was also quietly looking at Lin Tian. He thought in his heart, "As expected, you''re really a Symbol Master!"


    Back then, Fang Xing had already vaguely sensed that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master. Now, he was completely certain that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, and one that had a Symbol Technique.


    Fang Xing was very clear on what a Talisman Skill meant to a Talisman Master. He could faintly sense that Lin Tian had yet to display his full strength.


    At the same time, the judge''s voice came from Stage One: "First round, Northern Courtyard Lin Tian, one point!"

 C145

    Lin Tian had anticipated that Lin Tian would win the first round.


    It was because he was a Symbol Master, and Wang Tiangang, the Heavenly Karma, was a Spiritual Beast ¡­


    However, most of them did not expect that Lin Tian would be able to defeat Wang Tiangang. When Elder Xiao shouted that Lin Tiansheng had succeeded, most of them were still in a daze.


    "Second round, # 2 Battle # 9." At this moment, the judge on the stage called out.


    The reason why he was called the most mysterious was because no one had heard of this Zhang Taixu before, and they were not sure if he was someone from the Azure Province, but no matter what, Zhang Taixu had participated in the first round of the Azure Province''s selection, and he was indeed a celestial being. Furthermore, Zhang Taixu''s physique was extremely rare, and it was said that he was a type of special type divine body.


    Lin Tian didn''t really understand the so-called divine body, but in any case, being extremely strong was more like it.


    It was said that the divine body''s mysteries lay in strange phenomena. The powerful divine body was extremely terrifying, and the strange phenomena produced had all kinds of unimaginable functions.


    For example, Zhang Taixu''s divine body. Lin Tian had heard that it was some ''Bright Moon above the Sea''.


    This kind of strange phenomenon could draw one''s opponent into their strange phenomenon when they were fighting.


    In his vision, he was almost invincible, extremely terrifying.


    However, no one had ever seen Zhang Taixu display his strange appearance before, so no one had ever tried out his power.


    And the person he was fighting against, that number nine, was none other than Gu Yan''er ¡­


    "This is a little interesting. Inborn poison body, against innate divine body, I wonder if Gu Yan''er can force out that Great Void Divine Body phenomenon ¡­" Lin Tian couldn''t help but think, he was looking forward to this match.


    It was obvious that Gu Yan''er had already developed her poison body to a certain degree. She could now nimbly display the miraculous effects of her poison body.


    The first round of the elimination round has already proven her strength. When you exchanged blows with her, you did not even know that she had already placed the poison on your body.


    The two of them slowly stepped onto the arena. Following the start of the judge''s call, everyone''s gazes immediately fell onto the two of them. A clash between these two geniuses would likely be extremely intense.


    However, he did not expect that the moment the judge finished shouting, Zhang Taixu would make his move. He did not hold back in the slightest because Gu Yan''er was a woman.


    A monstrous energy instantly swept out towards Gu Yan''er. Gu Yan''er did not show any signs of weakness. The poisonous strength within her body was completely released as she charged towards Zhang Taixu.


    But in front of Zhang Taixu''s body, there were always layers of faint Yuan Qi wrapped around him. Gu Yan''er''s poisonous strength was simply unable to approach his body, and if she could not, then Gu Yan''er''s strength would be reduced by half. Gu Yan''er had just started cultivating in the martial way, how could she be a match for Zhang Taixu?


    After he won, Zhang Taixu''s face was expressionless as he walked down the stage. But when he walked to Lin Tian''s side, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your strength is not bad, I look forward to fighting with you!"


    "Me too." Lin Tian slightly smiled and replied.


    Zhang Taixu''s face did not change as he stood back in his seat.


    Gu Yan''er also resentfully walked off the stage. When she walked next to Lin Tian, she stuck out her tongue at him: "Lin Tian, in a while, you have to stand up for me. He''s too strong, I''m not his opponent ¡­"


    "Alright." Lin Tian nodded his head. Gu Yan''er''s martial path had only just begun, and her poison only showed part of her power. It was normal for her to not be Zhang Taixu''s opponent.


    "Next, number three against number seven!" The referee''s voice sounded again.


    Number three was Su Tian, the only student who was neither a sixth rank nor a fifth rank student. However, his strength was not inferior to a fifth rank student. It was also because of this that he was able to become one of the ten students in the first group.


    One must know that the first group was packed with monstrous geniuses. It was not something that ordinary students could enter.


    However, this Su Tian had actually come in. It was obvious that the strength of this Su Tian should also be extremely terrifying.


    As for Su Tian''s opponent, which was number seven, Lin Tian also recognized that it was Du Feng.


    There were a total of ten people in the group. Lin Tian recognized the other three people other than himself ¡­


    His skin was dark, and there were even some minute scars on his face. Obviously, it was because he had been exposed to the sun for a long time that he had his current appearance.


    Just now, in the first round of the elimination round, Du Feng had used his wind power to defeat his opponent. This made Lin Tian realize that the sky''s spirit body was a heavenly body. Even though it looked extremely weak, when it truly used its own spirit body''s power, it was still extremely terrifying.


    No heavenly creature could be underestimated.


    The battle between them had attracted the attention of the crowd. To be honest, everyone''s eyes were focused on Ring One, because the students in Ring One were the most powerful and worth looking forward to. Even though Zhang Taixu and Gu Yan''er''s battle was not worth watching, and the crowd was not willing to turn their gazes away, they were focused on the battle stage.


    As for the other matches on the other stages, although they were extremely intense, not many people were watching them.


    "If my strength is insufficient, I hope that you can show mercy." Once he got on the stage, Su Tian immediately cupped his fists towards Du Feng and said humbly.


    Du Feng did not dare to be negligent. There were no weaklings that could enter the first group.


    Du Feng also cupped his hands in return and the battle between the two had just started. Once Su Tian made his move, Lin Tian knew why he was able to enter the first group. It was because his strength was indeed very strong.


    From this point of view, he had the same path as the Little Overlord Xia Yuanba and Wang Tiangang. However, the difference was that Wang Tiangang''s power was strong mostly because of his Beast Spirit Body, and the power of his Beast Spirit Body, which had the ability to strengthen Wang Tiangang''s fleshly body. On the other hand, Xia Yuanba had purely cultivated the power of his fleshly body.


    The power of this Su Tian should have also specially cultivated the power of his fleshly body. However, the difference was, the strength of this Su Tian''s fleshly body, was way stronger than Wang Tiangang''s and Xia Yuanba''s.


    Su Tian''s moves were extremely simple. It was clear that he had not practiced any powerful martial arts, but his strength was incomparably strong.


    Boom!" Su Tian threw out a punch, the power in his fist was so strong that it tore through the air, the power grinded against the air, creating a loud sound.


    As the punch was thrown out, the audience cried out in alarm!

 C146

    Everyone was shocked by Su Tian''s incomparably tyrannical strength. Du Feng was also slightly surprised, but he did not slow down and once again shouted: "Rise!"


    In that instant, a wind wall formed by wind power appeared beside Du Feng, blocking Su Tian''s fist''s power.


    Su Tian did not mind as he punched the wind wall.


    "Boom boom boom!" The rubbing power was getting stronger and stronger, and the sounds were getting louder and louder, but in the next moment, Su Tian''s fist directly flew through the wall. When the power passed through the wall of wind, the wall of wind instantly shattered, never to be seen again.


    At this time, Su Tian''s fist had already arrived in front of Du Feng.


    Du Feng was not flustered. His feet slightly moved and his body seemed to have grown longer on the ground. He leaned to the side and with an extremely strange angle, he forcibly dodged Su Tian''s fist.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Su Tian''s face, but he was not discouraged. He threw another punch at Du Feng.


    Du Feng''s body dodged to the left and right. After a moment, Du Feng suddenly shouted.


    "Rise!" At this moment, from below the stage, waves of yellow soil suddenly appeared. The soil spiraled and charged straight at Su Tian, but after a short while, the soil wrapped around Su Tian and formed a native.


    At the same time, Du Feng finally got the chance to retaliate. He once again summoned his wind power, and in the blink of an eye, streams of wind power turned into numerous sharp blades that madly rushed at Su Tian ¡­


    Da Da Da Da Da!" "However, when the power of the wind blades landed on Su Tian''s body, who was covered in the gray soil, they made such a sound.


    What a powerful fleshly body!


    Everyone was staring at the current Su Tian in a daze, no one had expected Su Tian''s body to be this strong. In the first round of the knockout stage, Du Feng had also used a sharp wind blade. Back then, this power could be said to be extremely terrifying, but now, after landing on Su Tian, Su Tian acted as if nothing had happened to him.


    A trace of astonishment also flashed through Du Feng''s eyes. Just as his hand was about to move, Su Tian, who was wrapped in grey soil, suddenly roared out.


    "Boom boom!" The grey soil that was wrapping around him was suddenly blasted apart by Su Tian. A monstrous force shot out in all directions, sweeping the surrounding air and emitting an extremely sharp and ear-piercing sound.


    At the same time, Su Tian''s figure was like a swimming dragon as he crazily charged towards Du Feng.


    "Boom boom!" In a split-second, Su Tian''s fist had already landed on Du Feng''s body.


    "Bam!" Du Feng''s body was sent flying and he fell limply to the ground.


    Su Tian was shocked, he immediately chased and pulled Du Feng: "You, are you alright? Me, I didn''t mean it, I didn''t expect you to be so weak ¡­ ¡­"


    But just as Su Tian finished speaking, he felt that what he said was not right, but just as he was about to explain, Du Feng suddenly flung Su Tian off and went to Lin Tian''s side.


    Du Feng''s face was terrifyingly pale. Needless to say, he knew that Su Tian''s punch must have been very serious, causing Du Feng to be injured. Furthermore, the injury was not light ¡­


    "The third round, victory to Su Tian. One point to the West Branch." The referee''s voice suddenly sounded.


    Su Tian had chosen the West Branch. He was also a representative of the West Branch.


    "Take revenge for me..." Du Feng''s face did not look good as he whispered to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not refuse and smiled: "Okay."


    I think only you and that Wang Tiangang are comparable to my physical strength. However, I, Wang Tiangang, am unable to meet you and you are already crippled. If I want to prove that I am stronger than you, then I will just cripple you. At this time, Su Tian also came to Lin Tian''s side as he indifferently said this to Lin Tian.


    "Mn, how Wang Tiangang was beaten to a pulp by me, I''ll just cripple you just like that." Lin Tian''s tone was filled with coldness.


    This person called Su Tian seemed honest and honest, but he was actually a vicious and merciless person. It could be seen from the punch that he punched Du Feng.


    He intended to injure Du Feng with a single punch. Since this is the case, there is no need to give him any face. At that time, when the stage is over, just blow him up ¡­


    "Fourth round, No.4 against No.7." At this moment, the referee called out.


    The arena battle continued.


    Number Four was also a Celestial Body, Ji Qingyun. As for his opponent, he was number seven, the other one was Chu Chen.


    Ji Qingyun was born with a fire body, so he was born with the talent to control fire. His fire cultivation technique could achieve twice the results with half the effort. Furthermore, he was born with a fire body and a fire spirit, which was also the spirit of fire.


    The Flame Spirit could help Ji Qingyun fight, increasing his strength by almost half.


    It was unknown if it was a deliberate arrangement or if it was just a coincidence, but Ji Qingyun''s opponent was Chu Chen. He was actually a natural Ice Spirit Body. Chu Chen''s entire body was cold and there was not a single trace of emotion on his face.


    He grasped an extremely powerful ice spirit energy.


    The battle between ice and fire immediately attracted the attention of everyone. Even the headmasters of the Four Great Academies turned their gazes to this place.


    Lin Tian was also a bit curious. The power of fire and ice, who was weaker and who was stronger, all depended on this match.


    From their expressions, everyone could see the disgust on their faces. Of course, the Fire Spirit Body hated the power of ice the most, and the power of cold was the power of fire the most.


    However, coincidentally, the two of them bumped into each other again ¡­


    Therefore, after the referee announced the start of the match, the two of them made their respective preparations and began to fight without wasting any time.


    "Ten thousand miles of ice!" Chu Chen''s eyes were cold as he used his ultimate move. He did not hold back at all and a monstrous ice-cold power was instantly released from Chu Chen''s hand. A pillar of power that was like a dragon made of ice appeared in front of Ji Qingyun in the blink of an eye.


    "Burning Fire World!" Ji Qingyun did not hold back. His first move was also his ultimate move. A faint flame appeared in his palm, but in the blink of an eye, that flame turned into a huge fire dragon. The monstrous fire energy rushed towards Chu Chen.


    The ice-cold energy and the flame energy instantly clashed against each other in a crazy manner. The monstrous strength contained within them was incomparably terrifying.


    boom boom boom boom boom * A thunderous explosion sounded out between the two of them.


    The entire arena was filled with mist and water droplets.

 C147

    The mist and water droplets completely covered the bodies of Ji Qingyun and Chu Chen.


    No one in the audience could see the situation on the arena, but looking at the momentum behind the previous match, there was probably no difference between the two of them.


    Chu Chen''s Power of Ice and Ji Qingyun''s Power of Fire were two opposing forces. Both of them were at the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, so the difference between the two of them was not that great. It was hard to say who would have the upper hand.


    Sure enough, at this moment, the mist and the droplets of water had dispersed one after another, revealing the figures of two people.


    At this moment, both of their complexions were quite unsightly. It was evident that their strongest attack just now had caused both of them to suffer injuries.


    "Kill!" Chu Chen coldly glanced at Ji Qingyun, and without saying anything further, he attacked again.


    Chu Chen was clearly struggling, but for some reason, he insisted on going head to head with Ji Qingyun.


    Naturally, Ji Qingyun would not be afraid of him. On the contrary, he did his best and attacked again. It was clear that he wanted to have a fight to the death with Chu Chen.


    "Bang bang!" The two of them displayed their trump cards once again. The powerful ice spirits and the fierce fire spirits were summoned by the two of them and clashed against each other. It was an extremely terrifying collision.


    In the next moment, the two forces collided and a loud explosion occurred. In the next moment, their bodies collided heavily against each other.


    Bang bang bang bang bang. The power scattered in all directions and the entire arena was affected. Some of the spectators who were close to the two of them could feel the scorching heat and the ice-cold power and in an instant, they were surrounded by the crowd.


    A moment later, the two of them directly clashed. Finally, the result was that both of them were naturally injured.


    At this moment, both of them were on the verge of collapse.


    However, their complexions were extremely pale. Not only that, their fists were also trembling nonstop. They were extremely frightening.


    But at this moment, Elder Xiao finally regained his senses and had the referee call for him to stop.


    This was something that neither of them wanted to see. After all, the two of them were both students of the Hidden Dragon Institute and belonged to the East and West Branch. If they continued to fight like this, the Principal of the East Branch and the West Branch would intervene.


    This was something that neither of them could accept.


    The referee immediately stood in front of the two, blocking the two who wanted to continue fighting. At the same time, he announced the final result.


    The two ended in a draw.


    At this moment, the audience still hadn''t recovered their wits. Sure enough, the clash between students with such great potential was the most beautiful.


    The collision between the two just now had almost made them forget to breathe.


    Lin Tian glanced at the remaining two people. There was no longer any doubt. The remaining two people were naturally in the same group.


    Of the two people who had yet to begin fighting, one was Gu Qingling and the other was Fang Xing.


    Fang Xing was number ten while Gu Qingling was number five.


    Everyone was filled with anticipation towards these two individuals. Fang Xing was born with a Talisman Body. It could be said that right now, Fang Xing was already born with a Talisman Master, while that Gu Qingling was born with a Treasure Body.


    There were many different types of bodies with spiritual bodies, for example, the divine body, the so-called divine body, meant that the natural born had extremely powerful magical abilities that could develop strange phenomena called divine bodies. For example, the Great Void was the natural born divine body, and the abnormal phenomenon of his divine body was the "Bright moon above the sea".


    Lin Tian had actually never seen the terrifying power of Zhang Taixu when he used his divine body''s phenomenon, but he had heard that when someone first saw Zhang Taixu use his divine body''s phenomenon, a bright moon appeared in the sky above him. At that time, a crescent moon rose above his head, and then instantly, the power of the crescent moon pierced through the chest of the person who was fighting against Zhang Taixu.


    The people of the Sky Dragon Continent all knew that the ancestral dragons had created the heaven and earth, and the ancestral dragon''s blood had turned into human blood. Therefore, the people of the Sky Dragon Continent all said that they were the descendants of dragons.


    As for the blood of the Ancestral Dragon, it originally contained all sorts of unimaginable power. Thus, the human body was an undeveloped treasure trove. The treasure body was the physique that developed the treasures of the human body.


    For example, the eyes, limbs, and even the torso, hands, feet, arms, and arms, as well as every part of the human body were all treasures.


    Gu Qingling was such a person.


    Gu Qingling was the Eye of Duality, he had opened the treasure of his own eyes.


    A pair of eyes could see through the enemy''s every move, and could even deduce the enemy''s attack from the eyes, and figure out a way to defeat the enemy. If a pair of eyes was trained to the extreme, it could even determine the enemy''s weakness with a single glance, and defeat the enemy with a single move. Some people even said that the dual-eyed eyes could predict the future and see things that others couldn''t see.


    Of course, these were all things he had heard of or had read about in the books before.


    As for seeing it with his own eyes, it was the first time.


    Therefore, Lin Tian was also looking forward to it. With regards to Fang Xing''s abilities, Lin Tian was very much at ease. Fang Xing''s innate talisman body was originally one in a million, and Fang Xing had completely developed the potential of his talisman body. Lin Tian even felt that his application of spiritual power was not as good as Fang Xing''s.


    After all, Fang Xing could use his entire body as a carrier and control his spiritual force. Lin Tian could only control his spiritual force with his own soul.


    "Begin!"


    After the two of them entered the arena, the referee immediately announced the start of the match.


    "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" Fang Xing was the first to make a move. A massive amount of mental power condensed in his hands, transforming into a dagger as it charged towards Gu Qingling.


    Fang Xing didn''t hold back either. He struck with full force.


    Gu Qingling was not in a hurry. A ray of light shot out from his eyes towards the numerous daggers.


    In that instant, the daggers formed by Mental Energy completely vanished. They were scattered by the light and exploded.


    It was also because of this that Lin Tian had a new understanding of the dual-pupiled eye. No wonder it was called the dual-pupiled eye, it was because Gu Qingling''s eyes astonishingly had two pupils. They looked as if they had two eyes, which was very terrifying.


    One of the pupils was the black and white eyeball of a normal person, but underneath the black and white eyeball was another pupil. This pupil was completely different; it was completely black, dark and terrifying.

 C148

    Just now, the light that had shot out of Gu Qingling''s second eye had dispersed the power of Fang Xing''s Spirit Power Dagger.


    "Destroying power, go!" Gu Qingling let out a soft shout as a ray of light shot out from his eyes towards Fang Xing.


    Without waiting for the force to reach him, Fang Xing had already sensed its terror.


    Strangely enough, within this destructive force was a powerful destructive force. Fang Xing''s contempt for Gu Qingling had completely disappeared. The power of this destructive force was not to be underestimated, but rather, it was incredibly powerful.


    However, Fang Xing didn''t panic in the slightest. Instead, with a slight movement of his finger, streams of spiritual power gushed out like a tide, forming a wall in front of Fang Xing. He wanted to rely on this wall to block Gu Qingling''s attack.


    BOOM! The destructive force did not make much noise when it landed on the wall. Instead, it emitted an extremely muffled and soft sound.


    However, the two powers clashed against each other.


    "Swish, swish, swish." In the blink of an eye, the wall formed by Fang Xing''s spiritual power began to rapidly dissolve. At the same time, the destructive force had yet to dissipate, and after penetrating through the wall, it actually charged towards Fang Xing once more.


    Fang Xing did not dare to hesitate in the slightest as a wall of Spirit Power once again formed around his body, once again stopping the destructive power from advancing any further.


    "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." The destructive force continued to emit sounds as it reached the Mental Energy wall, but in the end, Fang Xing''s wall managed to successfully block it, completely eliminating all traces of it.


    At the same time, Gu Qingling didn''t stay idle either. After unleashing that destructive power, he too appeared in front of Fang Xing.


    BOOM! BOOM! He struck out with his palm, aiming straight for Fang Xing.


    Fang Xing was still as calm as ever, waving his palm to block the attack. However, even though Fang Xing''s physique was unique, his cultivation base was still lower than Gu Qing Ling''s.


    The two exchanged blows, and Fang Xing was forced back several steps before he managed to regain his balance.


    However, at the same time, Gu Qingling charged forward once again, taking advantage of the victory to give chase. Another destructive force burst forth from his eyes as he charged towards Fang Xing.


    Having been attacked by Gu Qingling in such a manner, Fang Xing almost didn''t have the strength to retaliate. With no hesitation, an endless surge of spiritual power gushed out from his body and charged towards Gu Qingling like a sharp thorn.


    Gu Qingling hadn''t expected Fang Xingjie to strike back at him from the bottom of his heart.


    However, even though he was shocked, his eyes were still shining brightly. Streams of alluring red light shot out from his eyes and collided viciously with Fang Xing''s.


    But at the same time, something unexpected happened.


    Faced with Gu Qingling''s incomparably fierce attack, Fang Xing charged towards him, as if he wanted to fight to the death with Gu Qingling.


    "Hmm?" The pupils of Lin Tian, who had been watching Fang Xing''s actions, abruptly constricted. Was Fang Xing insane to actually use such a method to clash head on with Gu Qingling?


    Lin Tian could see that Gu Qingling''s attack was absolutely tyrannical. This was because the power that shot out from his eyes was much more terrifying than the destructive power just now ¡­ ¡­


    Ah!" Everyone in the audience also cried out in surprise. All of them watched the battle nervously, wanting to know the final result.


    Actually, he had been hesitating a moment ago and wanted to stop Fang Xing, but since he had been dealing with Fang Xing for so many days, Lin Tian knew that Fang Xing was definitely someone who knew his place.


    Just like everyone else, Gu Qingling also looked towards Fang Xing with disbelief written all over his face. Was this Fang Xing crazy? He actually wanted to fight Fang Xing to the death?


    However, since Fang Xing had already made his move, Gu Qingling naturally wouldn''t retreat. Gu Qingling also dashed forward to meet Fang Xing''s attack.


    "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." In the blink of an eye, the destructive power within Gu Qingling''s eyes had arrived in front of Fang Xing, who had also charged towards Gu Qingling with the spiritual force that had condensed into spikes around his body.


    The two clashed together in the blink of an eye.


    However, just as the destructive power was about to land on Fang Xing, he suddenly let out a thunderous roar.


    "Transform!" Suddenly, something happened. Fang Xing''s body started to turn transparent, and at the same time, the destructive powers unleashed by Gu Qingling also landed on Fang Xing.


    However, when the destructive power landed on Fang Xing, he didn''t react at all. The next moment, everyone could see clearly that Fang Xing had passed right through Gu Qingling.


    It was true that Fang Xing had directly passed through, and the current Fang Xing looked even more like a transparent human body. Therefore, Gu Qingling''s power of destruction hadn''t been able to land on Fang Xing at all.


    On the other hand, Gu Qingling wasn''t as strong as he was now, and Fang Xing''s power had already thoroughly pierced through his body. One had to know that Fang Xing was surrounded by spikes formed from Spiritual Force, and the spikes had already completely pierced through Gu Qingling''s body.


    Gu Qingling screamed as densely packed small holes appeared all over his body. Not long after that, blood started gushing out from those small holes.


    Extremely terrifying.


    At this moment, Fang Xing''s body was also gradually becoming more solid. Lin Tian naturally knew that this was Fang Xing''s trump card and strength.


    However, Fang Xing''s display of power had caused a huge amount of damage to his body, causing it to tremble uncontrollably. A moment later, Fang Xing finally couldn''t hold back any longer and vomited out a mouthful of blood, his face growing even paler.


    However, Gu Qingling finally couldn''t hold on and softly fell onto the stage.


    At this moment, Zhou Tianzheng, who was in the viewing gallery, was on the verge of bursting as his heart bled profusely. Just a moment ago, it was Wang Tiangang and now, it was Gu Qingling.


    Not only that, Zhou Tian Xing was naturally able to see how serious Gu Qing Ling''s injuries were, but even though his injuries were small, he was still unable to participate in the following matches.


    The second round of the war of attrition was about to begin. How were they going to fight the geniuses from other academies?


    Rotary wars were not allowed to rest or heal injuries, because only in this way would one be able to fully unearth the potential and strength of these geniuses!


    "The fifth round. Northern Courtyard side wins. Eastern Courtyard Gu Qingling loses. Northern Courtyard gains one point!" At this moment, the referee''s voice suddenly sounded.

 C149

    "Are you alright?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask as Fang Xing staggered down the stage.


    Even when he came to the Azure Province Academy, he did not know many people. Gu Yan''er was someone he had met before. Fang Xing and Du Feng were the ones who had met in the Azure Province. And all three of them chose the Northern Courtyard because of Lin Tian.


    Otherwise, these three people would have chased after Lin Tian and asked him which courtyard he wanted to choose.


    So Lin Tian obviously couldn''t treat these three like strangers. He needed to be concerned about them.


    Fang Xing shook his head, indicating that he was fine.


    However, Lin Tian could also tell that Fang Xing was not seriously injured. Although it seemed as if he had spat out a mouthful of blood just now, it was only a light injury. He could feel the power within Fang Xing''s body.


    At the same time, Elder Xiao walked down from the platform.


    Previously, because he had been divided into four groups, Elder Xiao couldn''t take care of all of them by himself, so he had found four students to help him. Those four students were the judges in the four sub-arenas, and as for Elder Xiao, he was the referee for the entire arena.


    There was a tall platform above the arena. Elder Xiao had been standing on that platform just now, so that he could look down on all the battles in the arena.


    At this time, the first round of the revolving battle had already ended, and the next round would be the second round.


    The rules of the war of attrition weren''t that complicated. It was that ten people would have to fight in pairs.


    However, the execution was extremely complicated because the rules of this war of attrition forbade the use of any medicinal pellets.


    In other words, if he was injured, he could only forcefully hold on. There was no other way.


    For example, Wang Tiangang in the first group, Gu Qingling just now, and even Ji Qingyun and Chu Chen, as well as Du Feng, were all injured.


    The injuries were severe or light, but they were all injuries.


    Thus, the following matches couldn''t be arranged according to the drawing of lots. This was also the reason why Elder Xiao came down. Elder Xiao had come down with the intention of reconsidering and arranging these people''s matches.


    So far, the first group had ten people.


    With Lin Tian''s victory, the Northern Courtyard gained an additional point.


    When Zhang Taixu said that he was going to choose the Southern Courtyard, everyone was extremely surprised. Even the Principal of the Southern Courtyard, Zhang Wuya himself did not expect that, but the discussions that resulted from that, in the end, were all drowned out by Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing''s choice of the Northern Courtyard. At that time, everyone was still discussing why Zhang Taixu chose the Southern Courtyard.


    Su Tian had won one match, and the West Branch had gained one point.


    Ji Qingyun and Chu Chen, Ji Qingyun was a student of the East Branch, and Chu Chen was a student of the West Branch.


    Fang Xing had won a match, and in the end, the Northern Courtyard gained another point.


    Now that he calculated it like this, it turned out that the Northern Courtyard had only accumulated two points, the Western Courtyard and the Southern Courtyard had accumulated one point each. Only the one who did not have any points to earn was actually the number one in the Eastern Courtyard all these years.


    Amongst the ten of them, Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng were all Northern Courtyard students.


    Wang Tiangang, Ji Qingyun, and Gu Qingling were all students of the East District.


    Su Tian and Chu Chen were West Branch students.


    Zhang Taixu was a student of the Southern Courtyard.


    Right now, the only ones who were not injured were Lin Tian, Zhang Taixu, Gu Yan''er and Su Tian. Although Gu Yan''er had lost to Zhang Taixu, she had only lost and was not injured.


    Wang Tiangang and Gu Qingling, the two students of the East District, were the ones with the heaviest injuries. Furthermore, their opponents happened to be from the North District. Wang Tiangang and Gu Qingling had lost to Lin Tian while Gu Qingling had lost to Fang Xing.


    This result made Zhou Tian Xing very depressed. The only person who didn''t run into the Northern Courtyard, Ji Qingyun, was the hospital''s Chu Chen. The result was a battle between ice and fire, both of them suffering.


    Both of them were severely injured, but not a single genius in the East District was left unscathed.


    However, in the end, Elder Xiao still made his decision.


    Lin Tian against Zhang Taixu, Su Tian against Gu Yan''er.


    As for the injured students, all of them were disqualified to continue with the tournament.


    However, there was nothing they could do about it. With their injured bodies, it was impossible for them to compete with each other anymore. Even if they forced their bodies to fight, there could only be one final result, and that would be even more humiliating.


    However, this was definitely not good news for the East Branch. No one from the East Branch would be able to enter the second round of the war.


    In other words, the East Branch was in the first group and didn''t gain anything.


    He could only rely on the other three groups to see if he could pull the points back. As for the Northern Courtyard, no matter what, they would not be last place because they already had two points and the East Branch was the last place ¡­


    The North Courtyard President Yang Qingtian had never expected such a result.


    Right now, in the entire Northern Courtyard, there were actually two students who entered the second round of the revolving battle. Although Gu Yan''er''s strength wasn''t too strong, she wasn''t afraid. There was still Lin Tian here.


    For some reason, Yang Qingtian felt that Lin Tian still had some hidden strength that he had yet to display.


    He and Elder Zhang were close friends. Previously, he had also been thinking whether the reason Lin Tian had obtained the so-called rank 6 student title was because he had water. However, after hearing Elder Zhang''s description, Yang Qingtian completely gave up on that idea.


    The 18th step. This boy had actually managed to reach the 18th step of the Exquisite Pagoda in the Exquisite Pagoda trial. Not only that, but he had caused an ancient bell to ring.


    With this kind of potential, he could be called a proud son of heaven, Yang Qingtian no longer had any doubts in his heart.


    At the same time, from Elder Zhang, Yang Qingtian found out why Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard.


    So it was all for the sake of his master Xiao Yunhai, then everything made sense.


    As for Yang Qingtian, he was also within Elder Zhang''s description. As for Lin Tian, he became more and more curious.


    In the first round of the war, when Lin Tian was fighting against Wang Tiangang, Yang Qingtian had realized, no matter what move Wang Tiangang used, Lin Tian seemed to have a way of dealing with it, moreover he was very nimble and skillful, just like an expert who had experienced countless life and death battles.


    However, Lin Tian had displayed the style of an expert in his battle with Wang Tiangang to the fullest.


    Of course, this was also the reason why Yang Tian thought that Lin Tian still had a backup. In the entire battle, Lin Tian did not spend too much effort to injure Wang Tiangang, and had even injured his soul.


    Wang Tiangang had used all of his trump cards and even his own beast spirit, but he still suffered a crushing defeat.


    Yang Qingtian started to look forward to the match between Lin Tian and Zhang Taixu. He looked forward to seeing Lin Tian give him a big surprise. One must know that Lin Tian was from the Azure Province Academy, and was even the first Heaven''s Pride student of Tian Luo Kingdom''s Five Great Academies in a thousand years!


    Lin Tian needed to prove himself on today''s stage!

 C150

    When Zhang Taixu heard this distribution, his eyes immediately lit up, he was really looking forward to his battle with Lin Tian, especially the fact that Lin Tian was a sixth grade heaven''s pride level student, to Zhang Taixu, this was already a fatal temptation. Zhang Taixu''s natural divine body, towards the other geniuses, was actually beneath Zhang Taixu''s notice, but towards Lin Tian, he was very excited, his desire to defeat Lin Tian had already begun to stir in Zhang Taixu''s heart.


    On the other hand, when Su Tian heard that his opponent was not Lin Tian, but Gu Yan''er, he immediately frowned. Obviously, he was not satisfied with his opponent.


    Although Gu Yan''er was born with a poisonous body, in Su Tian''s eyes, he really did not take her seriously.


    The reason was simple, it was because Gu Yan''er''s strength was simply too low.


    Gu Yan''er seemed to have just reached the Qi Hai realm, and her cultivation was not very stable either. It looked like she had just broken through not too long ago.


    Compared to Gu Yan''er, Su Tian wanted to have a pinnacle duel with Lin Tian.


    But right now, the distribution was already settled. Su Tian could only pray that Lin Tian could defeat Zhang Taixu and then have a good battle between him and Lin Tian.


    To be able to make Su Tian feel strong physical strength, Wang Tiangang could be considered one. But the current Wang Tiangang was already in a miserable state, and was unable to fight with him again, so now there was only Lin Tian left. Compared to when he finally obtained the points for the West Branch, Su Tian wanted to fight with Lin Tian more.


    And at this time, under the crowd''s anticipation, Lin Tian and Zhang Taixu had already entered the arena and were about to begin their battle.


    Zhang Taixu''s face was filled with anticipation, then he said to Lin Tian Yun, "If I defeat you, then I, a level 5 student, will be much stronger than you, a level 6 student. However, if I defeat you, a level 5 student, then I will be much stronger than you, a level 6 student." Zhang Taixu''s face was filled with anticipation, and then he said to Lin Tian Dao, "If I defeat you, then I, a level 5 student, will be much stronger than you, a level 6 student.


    The moment Zhang Taixu stepped onto the stage, he started to mock and ridicule him.


    Lin Tian indifferently swept a glance at him: "Relax, based on what you said just now, I''ve decided that I won''t beat you until you can''t get up. I''ll take the initiative to leave the Azure Province Academy."


    "I think you''re courting death!" Zhang Taixu''s expression immediately turned hideous.


    "Begin!" Seeing how the two were having a showdown, the referee tactfully called out, "Begin!"


    There was no point in saying anything before the fight began.


    The moment Zhang Taixu heard that they were going to start, he immediately made his move. Moreover, the moment he made his move, he did not hold back at all and directly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhang Taixu''s body appeared on top of Lin Tian''s body. Just as he was about to punch Lin Tian, Lin Tian''s body suddenly disappeared without a trace, without a trace, Zhang Taixu was unable to clearly see how Lin Tian''s feet moved.


    "Behind you." Lin Tian''s lazy voice immediately came from behind Zhang Taixu.


    Zhang Taixu subconsciously turned his head, but he only saw an afterimage of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s figure disappeared again.


    "I told you, I''m behind you. Why don''t you believe me?" Zhang Taixu once again turned his head to look, but he still only saw an afterimage of Lin Tian.


    But this time was different. Lin Tian made his move, the instant Lin Tian''s figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared, his palm also smashed towards Zhang Taixu.


    Zhang Taixu jumped in fright and subconsciously tried to block it, but he discovered that Lin Tian''s palm was quite weak. He almost didn''t need to block it. With just his body, he could block the power of that palm.


    "Hahaha, as expected, you are really just a level 6 student. With this palm strike, you want to knock me down? It''s practically a dream. It''s more like scratching me, which is more like it! " Zhang Taixu had already known that Lin Tian knew footwork martial skills, but he did not expect Lin Tian''s footwork martial skill to be powerful to such an extent. When Lin Tian used his footwork martial arts, Zhang Taixu was indeed unable to catch even his shadow, but so what? No matter how brilliant his footwork martial arts was, it was only an auxiliary footwork.


    Zhang Taixu did not think much of it. The strength of Lin Tian''s palm just now had allowed Zhang Taixu to completely understand Lin Tian''s strength.


    If that''s the case, then there''s no need to hold back. The martial arts technique that you''re most proud of is the footwork martial arts. Alright, I''ll show you then. In the face of absolute strength, footwork martial arts are completely useless.


    As Zhang Taixu thought of this, he immediately unleashed the power of his vision without any hesitation.


    In that instant, Zhang Taixu closed his eyes.


    At the same time, an extremely strange and terrifying power surged out from his body.


    Not long after, the energy completely came out from the top of Zhang Taixu''s head.


    Before long, a crescent moon rose above Zhang Taixu''s head.


    The moment the crescent moon rose up, the entire world seemed to change color.


    Not long after, the energy above Zhang Taixu''s head started to solidify into a blue ocean. Above the ocean water, the mist was covering the crescent moon, which was hanging above the sea, reflecting the reflection of the crescent moon.


    "Moon rising from the sea!" This is the sign of the moon rising from the sea! " At this moment, a cry of alarm suddenly sounded out.


    The power that Zhang Taixu was displaying right now was the power that only he, as a god body, possessed. It was a unique phenomenon that only a god body could possess, the rising moon of the sea.


    "Zhang Taixu doesn''t want to give Lin Tian another chance ¡­" Some people in the audience were discussing softly.


    Of course, they all knew what this strange phenomenon of the rising moon meant. This meant that Zhang Taixu had used his trump card as soon as he made his move.


    "To think that I would be able to see Zhang Taixu display his ability. This trip is worth it ¡­" When the phenomenon of the rising moon from the sea that accompanied Zhang Taixu appeared, everyone became excited. However, they also wanted to see how Lin Tian would respond.


    But Lin Tian did not seem to notice this strange phenomenon that Zhang Taixu had displayed. On the contrary, just now, he had been using the God Transforming Steps, revolving around Zhang Taixu''s body.


    However, as Lin Tian spun in circles, Lin Tian''s palm also landed on Zhang Taixu''s body.


    Zhang Taixu turned a blind eye to it and concentrated on summoning his own phenomenon.


    Of course, this was also because Lin Tian''s palm had landed on Zhang Taixu''s body, and had no effect on him!


    "Come in!" At this moment, Zhang Taixu suddenly shouted.


    At this time, Lin Tian suddenly felt his consciousness shake. In the next moment, Lin Tian arrived at another place.

 C151

    This was a vast ocean. At this time, Lin Tian was standing on the surface of the sea. At the same time, above Lin Tian''s head, a crescent moon hung high up.


    However, the crescent moon did not seem to be in the right color. It was emitting a blood-red light.


    Lin Tian was slightly surprised for a moment before saying: "This, this is the so-called phenomenon produced by the Divine Body?"


    "That''s right!" Just at this moment, within this strange phenomenon, a voice rang out like a large bell and a large Lu. It resounded throughout the strange phenomenon and shook Lin Tian''s eardrums.


    "Come to my phenomenon. Tell me how you want to die!" Zhang Taixu''s voice contained a hint of violence.


    "How?" Lin Tian laughed involuntarily: "You think you can kill me? I really don''t know who gave you the courage."


    "Boasting shamelessly!" Zhang Taixu suddenly shouted, "Rise!"


    Just at this moment, a change suddenly occurred. The originally abnormally calm surface of the sea suddenly became incomparably berserk. The sea water under Lin Tian''s feet had already flown up, turning into torrential water pillars that completely condensed.


    Lin Tian quietly looked at the change in front of him, his eyes filled with calmness.


    "Fall!" Those pillars of water were not ordinary water pillars, but within the water pillars, there were unique powers. At this moment, those powers instantly turned into countless water blades, just like how Du Feng borrowed the power of the wind and turned the power of the wind into wind blades. Right now, they were water blades, which were incredibly powerful and wild as they rained down on Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian still stood in his original position without moving.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. One after another, water blades penetrated Lin Tian''s body.


    A strong tingling feeling immediately came from Lin Tian''s body.


    "This is true power?" Lin Tian was greatly surprised in his heart. At this time, his whirlpool of dantian crazily surged and healed Lin Tian''s injuries.


    Towards this abnormal phenomenon, Lin Tian had never seen it before. Originally, Lin Tian thought this kind of power was only virtual strength and wouldn''t cause too much harm, but he didn''t think that he would be wrong. This monstrous strength was completely real strength.


    At the same time, everyone outside was staring at the two people on the stage in a daze.


    At this moment, Lin Tian and Zhang Taixu were both standing on the stage without moving an inch. It was just that the top of Zhang Taixu''s head was constantly emitting steaming hot air, making him look rather terrifying.


    As for Lin Tian, he continued to stand at the same place until this moment. On Lin Tian''s body, many small wounds suddenly appeared. On those small wounds, fresh blood started to continuously flow out. It seemed extremely terrifying, and Lin Tian''s face also became ugly at this moment.


    But after a while, Lin Tian''s body automatically stopped the bleeding and his face returned to normal.


    "Lin Tian is injured ¡­" At this moment, the dean of the Northern Courtyard, Yang Qingtian''s heart skipped a beat. He was experienced and knowledgeable, so he naturally knew what had just happened.


    The abnormal sign of Zhang Taixu''s rising moon in the sea could bring Lin Tian into his abnormal sign and use it to deal with Lin Tian.


    At this time, it was very clear that Zhang Taixu had already brought Lin Tian into his strange phenomenon. Not only that, the two of them should have already fought and Lin Tian was even injured.


    Otherwise, there wouldn''t have been a sudden spill of blood on Lin Tian''s body just now.


    Of course, this was also the reason that Yang Qingtian was extremely worried. The divine body''s phenomenon power was already extremely powerful, and more importantly, in the phenomenon, as the one controlling it, Zhang Taixu was an invincible existence, because Zhang Taixu was a god in the phenomenon!


    "How about it? This kind of power doesn''t feel good, right? Now, I can give you a choice. Kneel before me, kowtow and beg for mercy, and I''ll let you go. How about it?" Zhang Taixu looked at Lin Tian''s current expression and then smiled at Lin Tian.


    "Kneel down. I won''t kill you either." Lin Tian''s eyes were currently filled with killing intent.


    "Truly a stubborn fellow. However, I like to torture people like you." Zhang Taixu sighed, then lightly tapped Lin Tian''s body and said: "Strangle him!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding seawater started to boil. At the same time, the crescent moon in the sky started to change. The crescent moon in the sky was currently emitting a blood-red glow.


    Not long after, the red light completely landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    When Lin Tian wanted to use the God Transforming Steps to escape, he realized that he was actually unable to use any of the strength in his body at all. His feet seemed to be bound by something, making it impossible for him to move.


    The sea water boiled and Lin Tian instantly felt a scorching sensation. Not only that, the crescent moon above his head released a strange red light that immediately caused Lin Tian to be at a loss.


    The force landed on Lin Tian''s body and seemed to want to tear him apart, dragging Lin Tian''s body.


    He wanted to completely tear Lin Tian''s body apart.


    At this time, the people outside immediately discovered Lin Tian''s change. Lin Tian''s body was currently trembling non-stop, as if he was enduring some kind of extremely terrifying strength and pain.


    At the same time, Zhang Taixu''s body was drenched in sweat. To him, unleashing the power of the mysterious phenomenon was a huge drain on his energy.


    Yang Qingtian''s heart was already in his throat, to him, he would rather Lin Tian admit defeat than let Lin Tian continue to endure like this ¡­ ¡­


    After all, he didn''t want his Northern Courtyard to lose a genius in the first place.


    "Hahaha, Lin Tian, I can''t hold on any longer. Don''t force yourself. Kneel down and beg for forgiveness. I''ll spare your life!" At this moment, Zhang Taixu''s voice sounded again.


    Lin Tian''s heart was unmoved, but he did not find a way to break through Zhang Taixu''s strange phenomenon. At this time, the blood-red energy shot out from the crescent moon became stronger and stronger, the heat of the sea also started to rise bit by bit, Lin Tian felt that his body was almost melting. Not only that, the tearing feeling in his body was also increasing.


    "Stupid!" Just when Lin Tian didn''t know how to deal with it, a voice suddenly came from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    "Kid, why are you still confused by the illusion? What a waste of such a powerful mental strength!" There was a trace of resentment in Horned Demon''s voice.


    "Illusion?" Lin Tian suddenly stared blankly, but then he felt that he had grasped something.


    A thought flashed through his mind. He seemed to have found a way to solve this phenomenon ¡­

 C152

    "So, this is just an illusion!" Lin Tian''s voice had a bit of a slow and slow reaction to his laughter.


    He now understood that this power of phenomenon was only an illusion. As long as he could break through this illusion, he would have already broken this barrier.


    Lin Tian faintly smiled and the divine soul within the Divine Manor suddenly stood up. In the next moment, the Divine Manor within the Divine Lin Heavenly God Palace abruptly opened its eyes. At the same time, monstrous Mental Energy instantly gushed out crazily.


    Lin Tian''s soul directly rushed out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    At this moment, a mini transparent Lin Tian was already standing above Lin Tian.


    "Swish, swish, swish." From between Lin Tian''s eyebrows, an extremely powerful rune power shot out.


    It was the Immemorial Dragon Symbol on his forehead.


    At this moment, the Mental Energy quickly gathered together. Under the control of the Ancient Dragon Symbol, it suddenly turned into a transparent giant dragon Mental Energy that directly rushed towards the crescent moon in the sky.


    Bang bang bang bang bang." As waves of energy exploded, the enormous translucent dragon had already completely charged towards the crescent moon.


    Under the violent clash of the two powers, a "kacha, kacha" sound suddenly rang out. The next moment, Zhang Taixu suddenly screamed out in a shrill voice, "You, how is this possible, how is this possible!"


    Zhang Taixu''s face was filled with disbelief. At the same time, the crescent moon in the sky actually shattered into several pieces, and then fell into the boiling sea.


    At the same time, the body of Zhang Taixu, who was on the stage, shook violently. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground, never to stand again.


    Zhang Taixu felt as if his head was about to explode. He was rolling on the ground in pain and moaning.


    At the same time, amidst the sea''s rising moon phenomenon, Lin Tian''s soul once again directly rushed back into his Divine Palace.


    At the same time, the phenomenon of the rising moon in the sea gradually started to shake violently. Not long after, the entire phenomenon started to collapse and ultimately completely disintegrate. Finally, it completely disappeared into nothingness.


    At the same time, on the stage, Lin Tian also suddenly opened his eyes.


    Then, he glanced at Zhang Taixu, who was rolling on the ground.


    At this time, Zhang Taixu looked at Lin Tian with hatred, but in his eyes, there was also fear and disbelief. Lin Tian had actually broken through his abnormal sign!


    "I remember that I said before that I would beat you until you couldn''t get up right? What do you think? Can you get up now?" Lin Tian walked in front of Zhang Taixu and said with a smile.


    "You ¡­" Zhang Taixu wanted to say something, but Lin Tian directly stepped on Zhang Taixu''s chest, making him speechless.


    "I will give you only one choice. Kneel down and beg for forgiveness. I will spare your life." Lin Tian''s voice was light, but it contained an indescribable coldness.


    "You... Cough cough cough, you... "Don''t even think about..." Zhang Taixu kept coughing.


    "If you refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit, then I won''t be polite." Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly shouted: "Explode for me!"


    "Bang, bang, bang!" Right at this time, Zhang Taixu suddenly felt that his body had a lot of hidden strength. At this moment, with Lin Tian''s "Explode!", the hidden strength unexpectedly and completely burst out of his body.


    Zhang Taixu, who was already injured, naturally could not withstand this force anymore.


    In that instant, Zhang Taixu''s body was completely hit by the explosion and was heavily injured. He immediately fainted.


    Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in shock. They couldn''t believe it. Why was there so much hidden power in Zhang Taixu''s body? No one had noticed it before.


    Even Zhang Taixu himself did not know about it.


    But Lin Tian was extremely clear that at the beginning, Lin Tian used the God Transforming Steps to continuously send palm strikes at Zhang Taixu''s body. The strength of the palm strike was the strength of the Great Destiny Fist, just now, Lin Tian had sent out several dozen punches, and under those dozens of punches, the Great Destiny Fist strength had already overlapped by more than ten punches.


    Even so, that Tai Xu said at the beginning that the power of Lin Tian''s palm seemed to be scratching on his body, indeed it seemed to be scratching on his itch, but for those who had fought with Lin Tian before, the final result would be extremely miserable. This Zhang Tai Xu was not the first, and he would not be the last.


    Although it was faint, Lin Tian was still able to sense it. Since that Tai Xu wanted to kill him, then it was impossible for Lin Tian to treat him well, previously in the phenomenon, Lin Tian had used the power of his own soul, destroying Zhang Taixu''s strange phenomenon. Zhang Taixu''s soul had already suffered damage, and just now he had ignited the power of the Great Destruction Fist, so Zhang Taixu''s physical body was unable to withstand it, thus his physical body was heavily injured.


    Zhang Taixu''s injuries were not something he could recover from in a short period of time. Without careful treatment for a month, it was impossible for him to recover.


    At this moment, the Principal of the Southern Courtyard, Zhang Wuya''s heart was bleeding. This year, the Southern Courtyard had only received this single student of the fifth rank, but now, Zhang Taixu had been beaten to such a state by Lin Tian.


    "Principal, this Lin Tian is too excessive. In the arena battle, it is enough to decide the victor, but this Lin Tian actually killed all of Zhang Taixu and seriously injured him. For this matter, I ask the Principal to give my Southern Courtyard an explanation!" Zhang Wuya sent a disciple to carry Zhang Taixu back. At the same time, he also spoke to Gu Qingyuan.


    Gu Qingyuan was the Principal of the Azure Province, and the great battle between the two of them just now was clearly seen by everyone. However, the arena battle only determined the victor, and there was no need for a life-and-death battle; after all, they were both students of the Azure Province Academy. Regardless of whether it was the coaches or the principal, none of them were willing to see the people of their academy killing each other internally.


    "Firstly, he did not die. Secondly, if you knew that he was in the midst of an abnormality and how he attacked me, you would have understood why I did so ¡­" Lin Tian faintly said one sentence and then didn''t say anything else, but his meaning was already very clear. Lin Tian''s meaning was that within that Great Void phenomenon, he also wanted to kill Lin Tian!


    This was undoubtedly an extremely shocking piece of news. At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Gu Qingyuan. They wanted to see how this dean would judge this matter.

 C153

    Gu Qingyuan glanced at Zhang Wuya before his body lightly moved. In the next moment, he appeared before the unconscious Zhang Taixu.


    Gu Qingyuan checked the injuries of Zhang Taixu first. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a pill from his bosom and fed it to Zhang Taixu.


    "Give this pill to him, and in three days at most, he''ll be fully recovered!" Gu Qingyuan turned around and told Zhang Wuya in an indifferent tone.


    Afterwards, he looked thoughtfully at Lin Tian, but didn''t say anything.


    "Lord Dean!" Zhang Wuya suddenly called out anxiously.


    "This matter shall end here." Gu Qing Yuan smiled faintly. After which, he no longer spoke and spoke to Elder Xiao: "Continue."


    "Yes sir!" Elder Xiao replied plainly.


    "Headmaster ¡­" Zhang Wuya called out again, but Gu Qingyuan had already returned to his seat.


    Lin Tian''s brows slightly furrowed, but he immediately understood. Lin Tian''s battle with Zhang Taixu had heavily injured Zhang Taixu. Gu Qingyuan probably didn''t want to see a level five student that needed to continue recovering.


    However, at this moment, the dean of the Northern Courtyard, Yang Qingtian, was somewhat surprised.


    What happened just now happened too quickly, so fast that he didn''t even have the time to interrupt. That Gu Qingyuan had already made the final decision.


    However, at this moment, he was somewhat surprised. It was not for any other reason but because of Gu Qingyuan''s attitude.


    Gu Qingyuan seemed to have fed a pill to Zhang Taixu just now, but in reality, Gu Qingyuan was facing Lin Tian. Originally, in this competition, he only needed to beat down the other person.


    This was not allowed in past competitions, if something like this happened, it would punish Lin Tian, but this time, it did not punish Lin Tian, instead it fed a medicinal pill to Zhang Taixu, which could be considered as a pacification, but in this case, it also meant that Zhang Wuya and Zhang Taixu were unable to continue finding trouble with Lin Tian, which was equivalent to protecting Lin Tian.


    "Lin Tian, can you still fight?" Right at this moment, Yang Qingtian didn''t have time to think about it further, Elder Xiao had already opened his mouth to ask Lin Tian.


    "But ¡­" Lin Tian calmly replied after recovering the aura around his body.


    "Alright." A ray of light suddenly exploded in Elder Xiao''s eyes. Zhang Taixu''s innate divine body was defeated by Lin Tian, but he didn''t expect Lin Tian to still be able to fight after that battle.


    This at least proved that this level 6 student wasn''t injecting water.


    "Su Tian, what about you?" At this moment, Elder Xiao turned his head again and asked Su Tian.


    Just now, when Lin Tian was fighting Zhang Taixu, Su Tian was also fighting Gu Yan''er.


    Without a doubt, Gu Yan''er was not Su Tian''s opponent. Su Tian had defeated Gu Yan''er in one move.


    However, Su Tian was still aware that Gu Yan''er was a female and did not kill Du Feng like she did in the first round of the revolving battles. Therefore, Gu Yan''er was not injured.


    Su Tian nodded his head, then said to Elder Xiao: "This disciple can still fight!"


    As he spoke, a wave of extremely violent and terrifying energy surged out from Su Tian''s body. However, that energy once again disappeared without a trace in an instant.


    "Alright, next, the third round of the war shall begin. Su Tian will fight Lin Tian!" Elder Xiao said to the two of them without hesitation.


    Su Tian''s expression instantly became excited. He especially wanted to fight with Lin Tian, so this time they were really going to fight. Su Tian was abnormally excited.


    Lin Tian also lightly smiled, then he turned his head to look at Du Feng behind him and said: "Next up, I''ll make him return the punch I gave you just now."


    Lin Tian became increasingly confident.


    When he fought with Zhang Taixu just now, he had gained a new understanding of his own strength.


    Actually, although Lin Tian''s battle just now seemed dangerous, in reality, everything was under Lin Tian''s control.


    Originally, Lin Tian had already left countless hidden fist forces on Zhang Taixu''s body. All of these were because Lin Tian knew that if he could not break Zhang Taixu''s power, the fist forces he left behind could cause Zhang Taixu to be seriously injured.


    So even if Lin Tian entered Zhang Taixu''s phenomenon, Lin Tian was not afraid at all. However, if it wasn''t for the Horned Dragon''s reminder, Lin Tian really did not see clearly what kind of power was behind the phenomenon.


    But now he understood that the so-called strange power was just an illusion created by Zhang Taixu himself. If he could see that Zhang Taixu had the power of an illusion, he would be able to easily break through Zhang Taixu''s illusion. But if he couldn''t see it, he would be immersed in Zhang Taixu''s illusion.


    Since he was inside Zhang Taixu''s illusion, Zhang Taixu was naturally the God of the illusion. Lin Tian was naturally unable to display any of his own strength.


    It was also because of this that Lin Tian couldn''t find a way to restrain Zhang Taixu in an instant, but now Lin Tian already knew. If he were to meet Zhang Taixu again, Lin Tian had the confidence to instantly kill him.


    This was confidence.


    Against Su Tian, Lin Tian was naturally not afraid. The strength of a dragon''s body, the number one in the entire heaven, he had never heard of anyone who could compare to a dragon''s body.


    He had refined and fused the power of the Ancestral Dragon bloodline. Although it was not pure, it was still terrifying enough. Killing this kid called Su Tian should be relatively easy.


    In this way, Lin Tian wasn''t too worried.


    Since Su Tian had said that his physical body was invincible, then today, Lin Tian would let him see what a true physical body was like to be invincible.


    "I hope you won''t disappoint me." Just at this time, the two of them had already entered the arena. As they had just entered the arena, Su Tian said this to Lin Tian.


    "Just like what I said to Zhang Taixu, I will beat you until you can''t even crawl back up!" Lin Tian smiled slightly and looked towards Su Tian.


    "Then let''s see if you have the ability to do so." Su Tian naturally did not believe it. He did not say much and just opened and closed his mouth as he punched towards Lin Tian.


    Su Tian''s fist strength was unparalleled and extremely terrifying. It was not something that an ordinary person could compare with, because what he cultivated was just the strength of his body. It was incomparably terrifying.


    "Open for me!" Within Su Tian''s fist, there seemed to be a huge force of over ten thousand jin. It was extremely ferocious and terrifying, so he did not hold back when he attacked.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian did not back off at all. He threw out a palm and it was the Sky Collapsing Palm. The overflowing Essence mixed with an incomparably fierce power rushed towards Su Tian in the next moment.


    "Bang bang!" The moment the two fists collided, a terrifying explosion sound was produced. It was extremely terrifying.


    The recoil was like a river surging forward. In the next moment, under the recoil, both of them swayed their bodies. From the looks of it, their powers were on par with each other.


    Su Tian was also shocked. He had always been proud of his strength, his fist was almost enough to blast apart a level four seed, but now, facing Lin Tian, he felt that his current advantage in strength had completely disappeared.


    "Let go of my hand!" Su Tian did not quite believe it, this time, it was not just a simple punch, but another extremely powerful martial art, this time containing a very powerful attack, the move Han Qi used was one of his famous ultimate skills, at that moment, his fist was unleashed, it looked like it had an earth-shaking aura.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian roared again. He sent out another Sky Collapsing Palm towards Su Tian.


    The instant the two fists clashed, a strong rebound burst out. Su Tian''s and Lin Tian''s bodies shook once again as they both took a few steps back to stabilize their bodies.

 C154

    After the two consecutive punches, Su Tian did not gain any advantage. At this time, he no longer hesitated and wanted to fight Lin Tian to the death.


    In the next moment, Su Tian let out a furious roar. The clothes on his upper body were completely torn, revealing his scarred muscles.


    At this moment, everyone could see the numerous scars on his back.


    From this, it could be imagined how much refinement and beating had his body gone through in order to achieve its current state.


    The upper half of his body was naked. Su Tian''s aura had also changed greatly. His entire body was like a tiger that was suppressing a dragon. In fact, it was extremely shocking.


    Seeing Su Tian''s change, Lin Tian was also slightly shocked, but then he immediately sent out another Sky Falling Palm. Only this time, it was accompanied by a "Bang Bang Bang!". With an explosion, Su Tian''s body actually forcibly withstood Lin Tian''s attack without moving at all.


    But this time, Lin Tian did not use the Sky Falling Palm again. On the contrary, this time, Lin Tian used the Great Destruction Fist, however, to the current Su Tian, the Great Fortune Fist seemed even more powerless.


    This time, a fist landed on Su Tian''s body. Not only did Su Tian not have any reaction, on the contrary, Su Tian''s body, suddenly came forth with an extremely huge recoil, causing Lin Tian to retreat continuously. Only after retreating a few steps did he stabilize his body.


    "What? Can''t move?" A mocking smile appeared on Su Tian''s face, "Why is your fist getting weaker and weaker? The power of your fist from before was more or less enough to make me feel like you are an opponent, but why does this fist seem like it is scratching an itch now?"


    When Su Tian said this, his tone was full of disdain.


    "Scratching an itch?" Lin Tian was slightly taken aback. Why did this sound so familiar?


    After thinking for a moment, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth immediately revealed an extremely strange smile: "Just now, just a moment ago, Zhang Taixu said the same thing, but the result, I presume you already know it already!"


    What Lin Tian had displayed earlier was the Great Fortune Fist, the most powerful force of the Great Fortune Fist was not even the power of the fist, currently their strengths were similar, so it was impossible for him to rely on the power of the Great Fortune Fist to cause any sort of damage to Su Tian. The essence of the Great Fortune Fist was the hidden strength of the Great Fortune Fist, which allowed him to hide the power of the fist in his opponent''s body without being detected by the opponent, and once it detonated at a crucial moment, it would reveal the terrifying power of the hidden strength.


    Lin Tian did not reply. He threw out another punch, and it was even the Great Destiny Fist. This punch landed on Su Tian''s body, but Su Tian still did not have the slightest reaction. Moreover, the contempt on Su Tian''s face became even more obvious.


    However, it was impossible for Su Tian to just be continuously beaten down by Lin Tian without being able to fight back.


    "Let go of my hand!" At this time, Su Tian once again extended out his hand, directly striking towards Lin Tian.


    The only difference was that the power that Su Tian had used this time''s attack was several times more terrifying than the power that Su Tian had displayed just now.


    "Boom boom!" The power of one fist, accompanied by an endless amount of Essence and a force that suppressed a thousand kilograms, directly smashed onto Lin Tian''s body.


    "Clank, clank!" The power of that fist landed on Lin Tian''s body and unexpectedly made a sound like metal colliding with stone. This caused Su Tian to be slightly startled, then he looked at Lin Tian with some disbelief.


    Lin Tian''s physical strength was just as Su Tian had imagined. He had the strength to fight with Su Tian.


    At the same time, after Lin Tian continuously punched dozens of times and hid all of the power of the Great Manifestation Fist in Su Tian''s body, he also began to condense the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike in his own Divine Mansion.


    Although Su Tian''s physical body was strong, the power of his soul was not that strong. The Immortal Soul Piercing Spike could completely turn Su Tian into a hedgehog.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s soul pierce was completely condensed. In the blink of an eye, it crazily shot out. Streams of transparent thorns formed from boundless Spirit power instantly rushed towards Su Tian.


    As the spirit power spikes collided with the surrounding air, they created abnormally sharp and incomparably ear-piercing sounds. "Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~"


    But just at this moment, an even stranger thing happened. When the countless Mental Energy spikes rushed towards Su Tian''s body, Su Tian did not have any sort of reaction. It was as if the Immortal Soul Spikes were completely useless against Su Tian.


    "It must be really strange..." "" At this moment, Su Tian, who seemed to have sensed something, suddenly spoke. Are you curious as to why I''m not affected by your spiritual force? "


    Su Tian''s mouth revealed a cruel smile. He had previously known that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master. Wang Tiangang''s Beast Spirit Body was so powerful. In the end, it had all been defeated by Lin Tian''s Symbol Techniques.


    But Su Tian was not afraid!


    Lin Tian was extremely curious in his heart, but he did not reply and stared straight at Su Tian.


    "Let me tell you why, because I don''t have a soul!" Su Tian crazily roared at Lin Tian, the huge roar made everyone''s eardrums hurt.


    But what caused everyone to be even more shocked was what Su Tian said just now, he actually did not have a soul?


    Without a soul, what kind of monster was that!


    "Today, I will completely crush you. You and I will let you know that you don''t have the qualifications to be a level 6 student. You don''t have the qualifications!" Su Tian roared in anger, the expression on his face was sinister yet terrifying.


    At the same time, something even more horrifying happened.


    Accompanied by Su Tian''s shocking roar, Su Tian''s body continued to grow!


    Before long, Su Tian''s body had grown to be as tall as two people. He had a huge palm and incomparably developed four limbs. Everything about him looked extremely terrifying.


    At this moment, Su Tian was constantly slapping his chest and roaring at the top of his lungs.


    Everyone who saw the scene in front of them were stunned. No one knew what was happening to Su Tian.


    At this moment, when Gu Qingyuan, who was seated in the VIP seats saw the scene in front of him, he was slightly stunned. After which, he asked in surprise, "Could it be that it is some kind of secret technique?"


    At this time, Lin Tian also had a face of surprise as he looked at Su Tian. He didn''t know why Su Tian would suddenly have such a change.


    "This is a demonic divine ability!" It was at this moment, Hornless'' voice suddenly rang out from within the Divine Palace.


    "Demonification divine ability?" Lin Tian slightly froze.


    "It is a secret technique that can allow him to keep fighting like a demonic beast." Horned Demon indifferently said. Then he added, "Don''t you see that the current him doesn''t even seem like a person anymore? Where did such a tall person come from?"


    Lin Tian nodded his head. At this time, Su Tian had become like a giant and looked extremely terrifying. The muscles all over his body bulged out.


    Three thousand demonic beasts, eight hundred barbarians, and countless humans. The body of a demonic beast could be considered the strongest among all the living beings of this world.


    But right now, Lin Tian didn''t have the slightest bit of fear or worry. To be honest, any demon beast or Goliath in front of Lin Tian would be like an axe in front of a door.


    No matter how powerful a demonic beast''s physical body was, could it be stronger than a dragon?


    Lin Tian currently had the body of a dragon, so he naturally wasn''t afraid.


    However, it was good that Su Tian was currently using his demonic transformation technique. Lin Tian took advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly test out the strength of his body and to see how strong he was.


    Lin Tian looked at Su Tian and sneered, then said: "Do you think that your body is very strong, so strong that others cannot shake you?"


    "Isn''t that the truth?" After his body grew larger, Su Tian spoke in a muffled voice, "Today, you are destined to die by my hands."

 C155

    "¡­" Lin Tian was speechless in his heart. He did not waste any more words and directly condensed the power in his body as he prepared to attack.


    Different from Su Tian, Lin Tian''s physical body was originally cultivating, constantly improving. He did not need to cultivate alone, he could refine as much dragon blood energy as he wanted, and constantly refine and refine his body.


    Lin Tian silently circulated the power in his body and his blood quickly began to boil. At the same time, Lin Tian''s face also became flushed red. In the next moment, a change suddenly occurred.


    Lin Tian''s body was now completely exposed to the air. His entire body was emitting a faint golden light, the muscles on his body were not as terrifying as Su Tian''s, but on the whole, his muscles looked extremely well-proportioned, and the lines were very clear.


    "Since you think that your physical body is invincible, then I''ll let you know that your physical body is just like an ant before me!" Lin Tian abruptly raised his head as a faint golden light enveloped his entire body.


    Everyone in the audience now had faces full of astonishment as they looked at Lin Tian''s change. Could it be that this Lin Tian was the same as Su Tian, did he also have some sort of sacred art or secret technique?


    "This is?" The four chairmen of the Four Great Academies looked at each other in dismay. They also could not understand why Lin Tian would suddenly have such a change.


    "Could it be some kind of secret art?" At this moment, Elder Zhang, who was standing on the VIP stage, suddenly called out. At this moment, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.


    "Probably." Gu Qingyuan on the side muttered to himself for a moment. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he still couldn''t see why Lin Tian had suddenly changed.


    "How many more surprises can this kid give me!" At this time, Yang Qingtian was astonished, but his heart was filled with joy.


    After Su Tian had displayed his enchanting ability, Yang Qingtian couldn''t help but sweat for Lin Tian. But from the looks of it, he wasn''t really that worried.


    "Roar!" At this time, Su Tian was also somewhat uneasy. He had never seen Lin Tian''s change before. However, this did not affect him from making the first move. Su Tian knew better than anyone else that he had taken the initiative to attack first.


    Su Tian''s tall and sturdy body directly pounced towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s body tensed up, he actually did not block Su Tian at all, but similarly went crazy and attacked Su Tian.


    "Boom boom!" The two bodies heavily clashed. In the next moment, the two bodies separated, only, Su Tian''s body trembled slightly and he retreated a few steps, but Lin Tian''s body was firmly held in place.


    "What a powerful body!" Su Tian was shocked in his heart. Just now, when he clashed with Lin Tian, Su Tian immediately felt his body was in incomparable pain. He continuously retreated a few steps, then completely eliminated the recoil.


    "Come on!" Lin Tian''s face had a little more fanaticism, "Isn''t your body strong? Today I will beat you to the ground in the domain that you are most skilled in, making it so that you can''t even crawl up!"


    "Boasting shamelessly!" Su Tian did not move at all and his body fiercely pounced forward, once again pouncing towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian saw Su Tian pounce towards him, his body slightly moved, directly using the God Transforming Steps. The speed of the God Transforming Steps reached its peak, making it impossible for Su Tian to clearly see Lin Tian''s figure.


    Lin Tian''s figure instantly disappeared from where he stood. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body had already arrived in front of Su Tian.


    "Boom boom!" Accompanied by an earth-shattering sound, Lin Tian''s body once again forcefully crashed into Su Tian''s body.


    The huge impact caused Su Tian''s heart to feel powerless. This time, the collision caused Su Tian''s body to fly backwards. This time, against Lin Tian, he did not have any strength to fight back!


    The key point was that although he had used some sort of demonic technique, the power of this technique was built on the basis of suppressing the potential of the body. Compared to Lin Tian''s original body, it was far inferior.


    At this moment, Su Tian felt that his own body was about to collapse from the impact of Lin Tian''s body. He sucked in a breath of cold air, not knowing why Lin Tian''s body was actually so tyrannical, but after meeting Lin Tian''s body again and again, no matter how hard he tried to fight Lin Tian, he couldn''t get any benefits. This still made Su Tian uncomfortable.


    But the more it was like this, the more Su Tian was unwilling to accept it. Only he himself knew why his body strength was so strong.


    "No, I refuse to accept this!" I refuse to accept this! " In his heart, he believed that Lin Tian, this so called level 6 student, was definitely a level 6 student who had been injected with water. He was definitely not a true heaven''s pride expert.


    The true heaven''s pride expert was him, Su Tian. He, Su Tian, did not possess a heavenly body, nor did he possess any special bloodline power, but for the sake of today, he had put in hundreds, or even thousands of times more effort. The scars on his body were the best proof.


    The reason he could have such a day was all because of the incomparably difficult work he had put in and the results he had achieved. But on what basis was he, Lin Tian?


    When he thought of this, Su Tian finally completely exploded. He angrily roared as veins began to bulge out from his body. Blood flowed from the veins, emitting an enchanting blood-red light.


    Su Tian''s body actually began to grow crazily once again. Not long later, he had actually grown a bit taller.


    "Kill!" At this time, Su Tian''s body was almost three times taller than an ordinary person. In the time it took to raise his foot, Su Tian''s body had arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    "Roar!" Su Tian''s throat let out a sound like a demon beast, and his body fiercely collided into Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not retreat at all. Instead, his body straightened again as golden light shone from his entire body. His blood boiled as he crazily rushed towards Su Tian.


    "Bang bang!" Another shocking explosion rang out as Su Tian''s body and Lin Tian''s body once again collided madly.


    This time, Lin Tian could clearly feel that the power exploding out from Su Tian''s body was much more powerful.


    Lin Tian''s body slightly trembled and he continuously retreated dozens of steps before stabilizing his own body. This time, the aftermath of the two people colliding caused Lin Tian''s blood to churn. He rested for a while before stabilizing his own body''s strength.


    As for Su Tian, his body only shook a little before stabilizing his own body. This time, he had the upper hand against Lin Tian, but he did not have the slightest bit of arrogance in his heart. Instead, he continued to move his feet and directly chased after Lin Tian, wanting to seize the opportunity to chase after Lin Tian.


    "Kill!" Su Tian once again crashed into Lin Tian''s body. This time, Lin Tian''s body was once again knocked into a mess of Qi and blood. His body was forced back dozens of steps before he finally stabilized his body.


    However, he consecutively retreated ten steps. Currently, half of Lin Tian''s body was already at the edge of the stage.


    According to the rules of the arena battle, when two people fought, either they would knock the opponent down and never be able to stand up again. Even if they won, there was still another way, and that was to knock the opponent off the arena.


    At this time, Su Tian already felt that victory was in sight. His heart was greatly excited, as he roared and rushed towards Lin Tian once again.


    "Doesn''t he know his tiredness?" Lin Tian looked at Su Tian with a puzzled expression. The two previous collisions had consumed a lot of energy, but it seemed like Su Tian did not know what fatigue was and did not have the slightest hint of weariness.

 C156

    "Brat, why do you become more and more useless as you fight!? Fight with him!" Just at this moment, inside Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, Horned Demon couldn''t help but shout at Lin Tian with a disappointed tone.


    "Why is his strength getting stronger and stronger?" Lin Tian was also somewhat puzzled. At this moment, since that Horned Demon had spoken, he might as well ask him.


    He has overdrawn the potential of his own body, and it is true that the demonification sacred art can quickly increase one''s strength, but there is an extremely heavy price to pay for this. The price is that one''s own potential will be depleted, one''s strength will be greatly reduced, and even injuries and illnesses will not be able to be cured within a short period of time. Horned Demon explained, "Right now, it''s even more so for him. Right now, he''s already planning to fight to the death, so he''s continuously attacking crazily. But after surviving this part, you don''t have to worry too much."


    His current strength has already reached the point where his physical body can contend with you. Right now, you don''t need to think too much about it and directly fight with him, there won''t be too many chances like this. You need to know that the dragon blood in your body will need to continuously stimulate the potential in your body in order for it to be completely activated.


    "I''ll listen to you and go all out!" Lin Tian did not hesitate any longer. His body trembled and rushed towards Su Tian once again.


    "Bang bang!" Their bodies collided heavily against each other''s once again.


    The monstrous strength almost caused Lin Tian''s body to completely collapse, but the current Su Tian, who was fighting Lin Tian head on, was not much better off.


    Just now, Lin Tian was clearly fighting with his life on the line. The strength in his entire body was almost ten times stronger than before.


    However, at this time, Su Tian''s body began to tremble violently, but Lin Tian''s body started to shine with a golden light, the power was even stronger than before. From the whirlpool in his dantian, he drew out another strand of blood, which quickly and crazily rushed towards Lin Tian''s body.


    The blood aura around Lin Tian''s body immediately began to boil violently. Waves after waves of violent and terrifying energy quickly rushed into his four limbs and bones in an extremely terrifying manner.


    "This, could this also be a divine ability?" At this time, Su Tian also had a face full of astonishment. Just now, he had used his own demonification sacred art, and was already thinking of severely injuring himself, and had squeezed out his potential, which was why he had used the two shocking attacks just now to shock everyone, but now, the strength that Lin Tian in front of him was even more terrifying than the power that he had squeezed out of his potential.


    But at this moment, although Su Tian was shocked, there was not a single trace of fear in his eyes.


    Confidence was also an extremely important thing in a battle. It could be lacking in strength, or it could be weak, but confidence definitely could not be compared to the opponent. If one''s confidence were to dissipate, how could one continue to fight?


    At this moment, the veins on Su Tian''s body were popping out and his entire body was covered in blood-red rays of light. He was emitting an exceptionally terrifying aura.


    In the next moment, Su Tian raised his head and roared at the sky, then crazily charged towards Lin Tian.


    Ah!" The instant Su Tian crashed into Lin Tian, Su Tian let out an extremely terrified scream. It sounded extremely terrifying.


    Everyone was slightly startled, then concentrated on looking, it turned out that just now when the two bodies collided, Su Tian''s physical body was actually directly sent flying. Not only that, everyone could faintly hear an extremely low explosive sound, and after that, blood continued to splatter, everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, unable to recover for a while.


    However, a moment later, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and cried out in disbelief, "How ¡­ How is this possible?"


    No one believed what they saw.


    No one believed it, even though he did.


    At this time, Su Tian''s entire body was bathed in blood. The reason why there were sounds of explosions just now was because of Su Tian''s body. In the instant that he confronted Lin Tian''s body, the muscles on his body suddenly exploded.


    After only one collision, Su Tian had become like this, how could they not feel fear?


    Is that Lin Tian still human? What kind of monster is he? How could his strength be so strong?


    Su Tian himself never thought that in front of Lin Tian, he would be so weak.


    Blast it?


    For Su Tian who claimed that his own body was invincible, this was simply intolerable.


    At this moment, although Su Tian''s entire body was covered in blood, he still struggled to stand up.


    But, just at this moment, Lin Tian''s body also moved. In the blink of an eye, he used the God Transforming Steps to the extreme. Lin Tian''s body arrived in front of Su Tian.


    It was just that this time, everyone was stunned by Lin Tian''s actions.


    Lin Tian directly grabbed onto Su Tian''s arm, and in the next moment, Lin Tian''s body suddenly exerted force, and then completely moved Su Tian''s body up. That''s right, he forcibly moved Su Tian''s body up.


    Su Tian''s body was currently as large as three people, but at this time, he was lifted up by Lin Tian.


    Su Tian struggled and wanted to struggle free, but Lin Tian''s hand strength was incomparably strange and was not something he could struggle free of. Thus, Su Tian could only be lifted up high by Lin Tian.


    But in the next moment, something that stunned everyone happened again.


    Lin Tian leaped high into the air, and then forcefully threw Su Tian''s body down towards the stage below him.


    "Bang, bang bang!" Explosions rang out in succession. The shattered rocks on the arena were all wildly flying out. Not long later, the entire arena was shattered by Su Tian''s body.


    "This!"


    At this moment, the headmasters of the four great academies were all standing up with faces full of shock.


    Zhou Tian Xing shook his head at this moment before sighing, "This old man has seen countless people in his life. I never expected that there would be a time where I would make a mistake ¡­"


    Hearing Zhou Tian Xing''s words, Wang Tian Fang, who was standing behind him, became serious, "Master, you don''t have to blame yourself too much. This brat is indeed a bit stronger than I had imagined, but even so, I still have the confidence to kill him within ten moves ¡­"


    "Tian Fang, Master doesn''t mean that. Master means, Master is old ¡­" Zhou Tian Xing''s heart was filled with frustration. He now completely understood that this Lin Tian in front of him was an unparalleled genius. He was an absolute heaven''s pride expert. He no longer had any doubts that the title of level 6 student was real.


    Lin Tian had defended his rank 6 student''s dignity as a Heaven''s Pride student with one battle after another. In front of Lin Tian, all the rank 5 students of the Hidden Dragon Institute were powerless and laughable.


    Zhou Tian Xing felt defeated by his own judgement. Before this, he had always been known for his ability to recognize servants, but this time, he had made a mistake.


    The Northern Courtyard. The Northern Courtyard had obtained Lin Tian and was on the verge of rising.


    Just as Zhou Tian Xing was lamenting, another wave of gasps rang out from the audience.


    He was slightly startled before he turned his gaze towards the arena.


    At this time, Lin Tian actually once again lifted Su Tian up and then fiercely threw him onto the ground.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds continued to ring out, causing everyone''s scalps to go numb ¡­


    At this time, Lin Tian completely treated Su Tian as a toy and crazily fell everywhere, extremely terrifying.


    "Bang, bang, bang, bang."


    Blood and flesh flew everywhere, the sound was huge. Su Tian, a three-meter-tall burly man, was like a doll being played around by Lin Tian.

 C157

    Everyone was stunned and there was no one who was not shocked by the terrifying strength of Lin Tian''s body. Su Tian was already terrifying enough, but the current Lin Tian was hundreds of times more terrifying than the Su Tian just now.


    Blood flew everywhere. At this time, Su Tian''s blood had already dyed the entire stage red. Not only that, more importantly, the stage had already been destroyed by Lin Tian''s continuous attacks.


    And it was also at this time that Su Tian''s breathing gradually became weaker. Just now, in order to fight with Lin Tian to the death, he had completely squeezed out all of his potential.


    The more powerful it was, the more terrifying the final damage would be. The harm caused by the potential being squeezed out was extremely great, and regardless of strength, cultivation, or the damage to one''s physical body, it would all bring about unimaginable damage.


    Thus, at this time, Su Tian had already revealed the bitter fruit of suppressing his potential. He was already completely defeated by Lin Tian''s strength and no longer had any strength to struggle.


    Not long after, Su Tian''s body returned to its normal state.


    However, he was currently on the verge of death. If he breathed in and out more, he might not be able to breathe anymore.


    Lin Tian then let go of Su Tian and stood to the side, adjusting the strength in his body.


    "You!" Right at this moment, an extremely angry roar suddenly exploded out of the spectating platform.


    It was none other than the West Branch''s President, Nangong Shi.


    Su Tian was a disciple of the West Branch, and also the second student of the fourth rank who could compare to a rank 5 student from the Hidden Dragon Institute.


    At first, in order to recruit Lin Tian, Nangong Technique let go of its own dignity. However, in the end, it was still unable to successfully take down Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian instead went to the Northern Courtyard.


    However, Su Tian, who had chosen his own West Branch, had actually been beaten into such a state by Lin Tian.


    Nan Gong Wen Tian did not hesitate, directly flying up, rushing towards Su Tian.


    At this time, he carried Su Tian and his spirit energy surged into Su Tian''s body. He was going to start inspecting the situation in his body.


    He did not know about this, but with just a quick check, the Nangong Technique completely crumbled.


    At this moment, the meridians in Su Tian''s body had ruptured. Not only that, his internal organs had also received very serious injuries. At this moment, he was also continuously coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.


    And what made Nan Gong Shi even more shocked was Su Tian''s current appearance.


    At this moment, Su Tian looked extremely scary. His face was completely pale and his hair had quickly turned white. The skin on his face was full of wrinkles and even the skin on his body was full of wrinkles.


    Su Tian''s entire person seemed to have aged several tens of years. His entire face was withered, and it was extremely terrifying.


    "How could this be? What is going on?" Nan Gong Shi had a look of disbelief on his face as he looked at Su Tian.


    The West Branch only had these few genius students, but now, it seems that one of them is going to die ¡­


    He raised his head and stared at Lin Tian: "Lin Tian, I really did admire your strength before, but now it seems that I was wrong. Although your strength is strong, your character is really bad to the extreme. It''s fortunate that you didn''t choose my West Branch.


    Lin Tian naturally understood the meaning behind the mockery. It meant that in the competition, he had killed Su Tian with his hands, but he did not plan to care about it. He did not kill Su Tian, which was already enough to be merciful.


    "Lord Dean, I, Nan Gong, plead for the Headmaster to give me an explanation. The Northern Courtyard Lin Tian has injured the students of the West Branch to such an extent that they could die at any time." Lord Dean, I, Nan Gong, beg the Headmaster, ask the West Branch to explain to me that the Northern Courtyard Lin Tian has injured the students of the West Branch to such an extent. Nangong Technique saw that Lin Tian did not even say anything and directly turned to Gu Qing Yuan.


    Gu Qing Yuan naturally knew Nangong Zi''s thoughts, he did not directly reply, but asked Lin Tian: "Lin Tian, on this matter, what do you have to say?"


    "In order for Principal Nangong to stand up for his students, he even abandoned the rules of the Challenge Tournament. Furthermore, he even used the position of the West Branch''s Principal to threaten the Lord Dean. Such actions have really broadened our horizons." As soon as Lin Tian opened his mouth, he showed no mercy at all.


    He understood what Nan Gong intended, but Nan Gong didn''t seem to understand the rules of the competition. Indeed, killing was not allowed in the arena battle, but it was possible.


    If Lin Tian had not fought with his life on the line just now, he would have died a long time ago. If Lin Tian had not tried to kill Su Tian, then Su Tian would have also tried to kill him.


    The Nangong technique was currently like an angry shrew, ignoring him as giving him face, Lin Tian naturally did not pay attention to him.


    Gu Qingyuan faintly smiled as he silently said in his heart: "As expected, he is Yun Hai''s disciple. His character is pretty good."


    As he thought of this, Gu Qingyuan no longer hesitated, and directly flicked a pill at Nangong Zi Feng.


    "This pill is a Good Fortune Pill. As long as he still has a breath in him, he won''t die." When Gu Qing Yuan said this, he continued: "The competition rules, do not allow killing to occur, Su Tian did not die, he was just injured a little, but he had just used a secret technique, which might have injured his body, and would have taken some time to recuperate. Principal Nan Gong, this matter, stop it for now, you are the dignified West Branch Principal, why are you still acting like a child!"


    "Lord Dean!" Nangong Zi Yun was slightly stunned before calling out to him again.


    Gu Qingyuan immediately closed his eyes: "The Good Fortune Pill is not a divine medicine, right now, you should let him consume it and help him convert the medicinal energy, instead of wasting time here. Su Tian''s strength is pretty good, you don''t want your West Branch to suffer a loss because of your following nonsense, right?"


    As he said this, Gu Qingyuan''s meaning was clear. Obviously, he did not want the Nangong Technique to continue entangling itself in this matter.


    If the Nangong Imperial Technique said anything more, Gu Qingyuan would not care.


    The chairmen of the four great academies were naturally aware of this headmaster''s temper. A single medicinal pill was sufficient to express Gu Qingyuan''s attitude.


    Nangong Shi fiercely looked at Lin Tian and carried Su Tian onto the stage.


    And at this time, everyone in the audience was blankly staring at Lin Tian. They were all in disbelief.


    At this time, Lin Tian had already completely subverted their understanding.


    This was a true genius, a true heaven''s pride level expert.


    Yang Qingtian looked at Lin Tian, who had a calm and tranquil expression, and suddenly softly said: "A heaven''s pride level expert, this child is a true heaven''s pride level expert."


    The favored one of the heavens was the genius amongst geniuses. After this battle, no one dared to look down on the heaven''s pride level expert, Lin Tian.


    Under Lin Tian, there was no genius!

 C158

    At this time, no one dared to look down on Lin Tian. Lin Tian used his own actions and fought through the matches one by one. Only then did Lin Tian completely reveal his title of a level 6 student.


    At the same time, Elder Xiao took the opportunity to say: "Lin Tian vs Su Tian, Northern Courtyard Lin Tian won, Northern Courtyard will get another point."


    Now, the group competition could be considered to have come to an end.


    In the first group, there were a total of ten people. Lin Tian had fought three by himself, with Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, and Su Tian as the two disciples.


    He won three matches in a row, earning three points for the North District.


    Lin Tian got three points for himself, and Fang Xing also got one point for the Northern Courtyard.


    The Northern Courtyard had already obtained four points.


    The three geniuses of the East Branch, Wang Tiangang, Ji Qingyun, and Gu Qingling, were all injured in the first round of eliminations. Wang Tiangang and Gu Qingling suffered a crushing defeat, and as for Ji Qingyun, he was evenly matched against the West Branch''s Chu Chen.


    As a result, after two rounds of battle, the East District did not receive a single point.


    The West Branch''s Chu Chen had a draw with Ji Qingyun and naturally did not have any points. On the other hand, Su Tian had won a battle in the first round and obtained a point.


    In the Southern Courtyard, this year, they had only obtained Zhang Taixu, a hidden dragon student. Zhang Taixu had also won a match in the first round of the revolving battle and obtained a point.


    However, this was only their group''s score. It has to be said that in the group competition, there were four groups. Right now, this was only the first group.


    As for the points from the other groups, they were more average.


    The East District was even a bit ahead of the others. In this way, all four groups added up together would rank the first in the East District.


    This was understandable. After all, besides the ten top experts in the first group, the East Branch was still far ahead of the rest of the seeded students. Although the East Branch did not obtain a single point in the first group, the points obtained from the other groups were far ahead of the other three branches.


    The North Court was ranked second. The four points in the first group played a crucial role.


    West Branch, third. South Court, fourth.


    After the final result was announced, everyone began to discuss the result. This result could be said to be unexpected, but it was also within reason. This year, the Northern Academy had flipped a tit for a tat in this arena battle.


    When the results were announced, it meant that the second round of the group competition had come to an end.


    Of course, after the end of the match, Elder Xiao once again said to the crowd, "Today''s battle will naturally end here, but tomorrow, there will be the final round of the competition. Tomorrow, after the final round of the competition, there will be a redistribution of resources for the four great academies according to the final results. Of course, tomorrow''s final round of the competition will also be the final match between the geniuses of the four great divisions.


    At this point, Elder Xiao dismissed everyone.


    At this time, the sky was already approaching dusk. Unexpectedly, these two rounds of revolving battles had taken place throughout the entire day.


    Everyone dispersed one by one. This time, Lin Tian did not leave alone. Instead, he left together with the other three students of the Northern Courtyard.


    "Are your injuries alright?" Walking on the road, Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask as he looked at Du Feng.


    Du Feng was severely injured by Su Tian''s punch earlier, but his face was still pale.


    "Just rest, it''s fine." Du Feng, huh. He forced out a smile and then replied to Lin Tian.


    "What about you?" Lin Tian''s gaze once again shifted to Fang Xing. Although Fang Xing had won the battle against Gu Qingling, Fang Xing had also paid a heavy price. He had expended all of his strength in order to obtain victory, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had won miserably.


    "I''m just a bit exhausted from using too much energy, that''s all. It''s fine." "No," Fang Xing replied. His expression was indeed much better than Du Feng''s.


    As for Gu Yan''er, Lin Tian didn''t ask any more questions. Gu Yan''er wasn''t injured at all, and even though she was battling top experts, she didn''t kill her because she was a female.


    However, Lin Tian''s current performance caused Du Feng and Fang Xing to feel a bit overwhelmed. A few days ago, if the competition had ended, Lin Tian would have left by himself and would not have accompanied them at all.


    But now, not only did Lin Tian become companions with them, he even started to ask about warmth. Everyone was a bit not used to it.


    Lin Tian did not think too much about it. He also knew that these three people had chosen the Northern Courtyard because of him. Currently, they were already students of the academy, so Lin Tian was more or less grateful to the crowd.


    Thus, his current performance was rather normal.


    However, Lin Tian''s concern was limited to this. Without saying much, Lin Tian returned to his room by himself.


    The continuous battles during the day made Lin Tian a little tired at the same time, but at the same time, it also stimulated the potential in his body. Especially the final battle with Su Tian, it allowed Lin Tian to once again absorb a bit of the power of the dragon''s blood.


    During the night, he still needed to practice as much as he could, and assimilate the insights he had gained during the day.


    The night passed in silence. To Lin Tian, it was another sleepless night.


    However, Lin Tian''s energy was vigorous and he needed to sit cross-legged to cultivate for a while before becoming energetic again.


    The next morning, all the students returned to the martial arts practice field.


    Today, was the final day of the 3rd round of the arena battle.


    After today''s battle, these students who had chosen their respective branches would leave the headquarters together with their respective principals. They would return to the branch of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and continue their studies and training.


    "Everyone, today is the last day of the Azure Province school''s arena battle, and also the last round." Elder Xiao saw that everyone was present, so he didn''t say anything unnecessary and directly said: "Today, this round of the competition will be the ranking competition!"


    "Ranking competition?" Lin Tian slightly frowned.


    "This time, according to the performance of the contestants in the arena battle a few days ago, we are ranked according to our overall strength for this year''s students. Of course, only the top twenty will be announced in this ranking competition." Elder Xiao looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and only smiled. He then said, "Alright. Next up, I will announce the top twenty rankings for this year''s Blue Region Academy''s arena battle!"


    Not far away, the two students had taken back the previous ranking and placed it on the list. However, the difference this time around was that the top twenty students who performed the best in the arena were recorded on the list.


    The Golden Ranking, Exquisite Pagoda, and Ancient Bell were the three great treasures of the Qingzhou Academy.


    Naturally, one could see that the ranking was fair.


    Everyone in the audience had a face full of anticipation, waiting to announce the top twenty rankers of this year''s Blue Region Academy''s arena battle.


    "First place, Northern Courtyard Lin Tian!" The Dragon Qi wrapped around the Dragon Qi. It was bright and resplendent. A Dragon Qi coiled around the Dragon Qi, and then Lin Tian''s name slowly appeared.


    "I knew it was him!" Everyone understood that they could guess that Lin Tian''s performance in the group arena was indeed invulnerable.

 C159

    "Second place, from the Northern Courtyard!" Elder Xiao said again.


    As the dragon aura brewed, Fang Xing''s name appeared once more.


    This time, everyone was in disbelief. No one had ever thought that with so many Hidden Dragon students, even Su Tian would be so strong. How could this Fang Xing be ranked second?


    "Third place, Su Tian from the West Branch!" Elder Xiao didn''t pay attention to the discussions around him as he continued to announce his name.


    "Fourth place, Southern Courtyard Zhang Taixu!"


    "Fifth rank, Eastern Courtyard Wang Tiangang!"


    "The sixth is the Northern Courtyard''s Du Feng!"


    "Seventh place, East Branch''s Qing Yun, West Branch''s Chu Chen."


    "Eighth place, Gu Qingling from the East District!"


    "The ninth Northern Courtyard''s Gu Yan''er!"


    All ten people in the first group had entered the top ten, and Ji Qingyun and Chu Chen were still tied for seventh.


    With regards to this ranking, most people were not surprised at all. These ten people were originally the most powerful geniuses recruited by the Azure Province Institute this time.


    It was just that some of them were a little surprised by a certain ranking.


    Lin Tian didn''t have any surprises. Overall, the ranking this time was basically the same as Lin Tian''s.


    Right now, the only thing he was curious about was how he would fight in the ranking competition.


    The current Lin Tian was very excited. Last night, after cultivating, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that the continuous battles in these few days could be compared to a month of bitter cultivation by himself.


    He didn''t think that fighting was actually the best way for him to improve. Thinking of this, Lin Tian impatiently wanted to continue fighting with them to his heart''s content.


    "Eleventh place... 12th place ¡­ "


    Elder Xiao continued to mutter. Not long later, twenty names appeared on the golden list.


    These twenty people were the top twenty geniuses in the arena battle, and they were also the hope of this year''s Azure Province Academy.


    After he finished, Elder Xiao announced the rules for the ranking competition.


    The rules were very simple. Any student who wasn''t on the list could challenge these 20 students. If they succeeded, then his name would replace the person he defeated and he would become one of the 20 students on the list. If he lost, then his ranking wouldn''t be affected.


    Of course, if the 20 people on the list weren''t satisfied with their ranking, they could also challenge any existence that was higher than them. If they won, they could replace their ranking and if they lost, everything would remain the same.


    The rule is very simple, it is to have your disciples fight, fight with all they have, and reclaim their rankings.


    However, Lin Tian felt a bit disheartened. He was already first place. This also meant that he didn''t have the qualifications to take the initiative to challenge and could only wait to be challenged.


    After Elder Xiao announced the rules, everyone in the arena began to boil with excitement. Many of the nameless geniuses felt their eyes turn red when they saw the names on the ranking board. They knew just how important it was to enter the ranking board.


    These twenty students, in the future, would definitely become geniuses that the entire Azure Province focused on raising. Not only was it an honor, it also represented the potential of a student, as well as countless resources.


    The most important thing in cultivation was the resources.


    As a result, all the students who were no longer on the rankings began to carefully look over those names. They considered the difference between them and the people on the rankings and prepared to challenge them.


    And those on the leaderboard also felt the same way. Some wanted to keep their positions, and some wanted to go further.


    The students in the top ten were also having different thoughts.


    Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing didn''t have any other thoughts in their minds. It was already good enough that they were able to maintain their current rankings.


    Wang Tiangang swept his sinister gaze across Lin Tian''s body, but in the end, he gave up. Although he did not want to admit it, he clearly understood in his heart that he was not Lin Tian''s match.


    Fang Xing and Wang Tiangang also stopped thinking about Fang Xing. Fang Xing was born with a talisman, and to him, a beast spirit''s physique was akin to heavenly tribulation. He definitely did not want to be seriously injured again.


    He actually wanted to challenge the Great Void Sect or Su Tian.


    As for Su Tian, Zhang Taixu, they were both fixated on Fang Xing. If Lin Tian and the rest couldn''t defeat him, wouldn''t Fang Xing be able to?


    But after thinking for a bit, the two of them gave up. Lin Tian had heavily injured the two of them yesterday. Coincidentally, the two of them had relied on Gu Qing Yuan''s pills to save their lives ¡­


    Naturally, they knew about the relationship between Fang Xing and Lin Tian. Therefore, no one wanted to hate Lin Tian for fear that he would cause trouble for them in the future.


    The others also scanned the crowd, but what Lin Tian didn''t expect was that everyone''s eyes swept over him and immediately went past him. It was as if Lin Tian wasn''t within their range of choice.


    "Invincible True Loneliness ¡­" Lin Tian abruptly thought of this sentence and stopped thinking about it.


    Before long, the audience had become very lively. Everyone began to choose their opponents one after another.


    Soon, the two who had chosen their opponents had begun their battle.


    Fighting after match, everyone''s eyes were filled with the desire to win. Everyone knew that this was their last chance. Whether they could get the important training from the Azure Province or not all depended on this time''s ranking.


    The battle was abnormally intense. Everyone took out their skills and everyone in the audience cheered.


    But Lin Tian looked at it and felt a bit sleepy, so he didn''t think too much. Lin Tian also felt that no one would challenge his ranking and directly closed his eyes to rest.


    After an unknown amount of time, the ranking competition had finally come to an end.


    Finally, Elder Xiao announced the final twenty participants of the ranking competition.


    There weren''t any big changes in the top ten.


    Many people didn''t want to take the risk, but the most important thing was that in yesterday''s battle, many people had been injured. Perhaps they had exhausted too much of their energy.


    Thus, his ranking was fixed.


    Also at this time, Elder Xiao''s voice once again rang out: "This competition for the Green Province Academy has come to an end. All of the twenty students on the Golden Ranking will receive rich rewards, and according to the final results of the three rounds of selection, the four great academies'' rankings are as follows: Northern Courtyard''s first place, East Courtyard''s second place, West Courtyard''s third place, and Southern Courtyard''s fourth place. Following this ranking, the Central Academy will also award the four great academies'' pills, magical equipment, and martial arts secret records according to this ranking."


    At this point, Elder Xiao paused for a moment before continuing, "This time, there''s also an unexpected surprise. It''s related to the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­"


    When these words were spoken, everyone was slightly stunned, but soon after, everyone was stupefied.


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky!


    Could it be that a new student had entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky this time?

 C160

    The Proclamation of Azure Sky was not unfamiliar to everyone.


    The Azure Province Institute was also known as the Azure Cloud Academy, which meant that for every student that entered the Azure Continent Academy, it would be considered a meteoric rise.


    As for the Proclamation of Azure Sky, it was the list of talents that contained all the students of the Azure Continent Academy.


    In this list, there would be one hundred students with the most powerful strength from the four academies of the Azure Province.


    These one hundred students were the top geniuses of the entire Azure Province. They were experts that could compete with the other four big academies of Tian Luo Country. They were also Tian Luo Kingdom''s future hope.


    It could be said that as long as a genius was able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky, their future accomplishments would definitely not be too low.


    Once one reached the Proclamation of Azure Sky, one would be able to possess almost everything. These people were the true heaven''s pride level experts, the future hope of the entire Tian Luo Kingdom. Even the Tian Luo Kingdom''s King would notice their existence.


    If entering the Azure Province could already be considered stepping into the clouds, then inscribing one''s name on the Proclamation of Azure Sky would mean that one would be able to rise to the top in the Heavenly Luo Country.


    However, to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky was an extremely difficult task.


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky was a list of all the top experts in the four academies, north, south, east, and west.


    However, not a single new student could enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Basically, all the experts that entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky were the seniors that had been in the school for several years, so it was basically impossible for new students to enter, and they did not have the strength.


    But now, Elder Xiao had suddenly said such a news. This had completely changed their minds. Could it be that one of these newcomers was going to be on the Proclamation of Azure Sky?


    But how was this possible?


    In the thousand years of the Azure Province Academy''s history, there was not a single newcomer that had directly entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Everyone was discussing this matter nonstop, but no one dared to believe it.


    When Elder Xiao saw the expressions and expressions of the crowd, he knew that it was about time.


    He coughed lightly, and the crowd instantly fell silent. Everyone''s eyes were focused on him, they all wanted to know who had entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    "Everyone has guessed correctly. This year, there is indeed a new student who has been selected for the Proclamation of Azure Sky."


    The audience went into an uproar, but it quickly returned to silence.


    However, currently everyone''s eyes were focused on Lin Tian.


    They could already faintly guess that if within this year''s batch of students, there was really someone that directly entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky, then this Lin Tian in front of them was definitely the most likely. Lin Tian''s previous performance was seen by everyone.


    Elder Xiao lightly pointed at Lin Tian: "From everyone''s gazes, I already know that all of you have already guessed it. That''s right, this year, there is only one student who has been able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and that is him ¡ª Lin Tian!"


    The crowd had already guessed what was going on and had come prepared. However, after hearing what Elder Xiao had said, they were still excited and in disbelief.


    Lin Tian, it really is Lin Tian, he actually really entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky!


    Elder Xiao gave his confirmation.


    In this way, everyone became even more excited. Whether one would be able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky or not, there was still an even more important ranking that Elder Xiao had yet to mention.


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky also had rankings, from rank one to one hundred. Now that everyone knew that Lin Tian had entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky, everyone''s attention was immediately focused on the ranking. Just how high Lin Tian could be ranked on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, that was the most important!


    "According to the overall performance of the previous rounds and Lin Tian''s strength, he will be ranked as the eighty-third person on the Proclamation of Azure Sky!"


    Elder Xiao said in an earth-shattering manner.


    Everyone was shocked when they heard this.


    83rd place!


    "Isn''t this a little too inconceivable?"


    "How is this possible? He''s just a new student, how could he reach the 83rd position?"


    "Could it be a conspiracy ¡­"


    Everyone in the audience discussed. The focus of attention was naturally Lin Tian''s ranking.


    The top one hundred of the Proclamation of Azure Sky was a solid show of might and fame, and it was very clear how strong you were. But this Lin Tian in front of me, he was just a new student, how could he suddenly become eighty-third place? The other students who fought one battle after the eighty-third place, are nothing.


    Why did Lin Tian become ranked 83?


    "Wait!" Right at this moment, an explosive shout came from somewhere else.


    Everyone immediately turned their gazes over.


    The one who had uttered that voice was none other than the Eastern Courtyard''s Principal, Wang Tian Fang.


    Elder Xiao''s gaze froze for a moment. After which, he smiled and said, "So it is the Heavens. What do you think about this matter?"


    "Elder Xiao!" Wang Tianlong respectfully bowed towards Elder Xiao, then said in a clear voice, "I can''t say for sure, but I have some questions in my mind that I would like Elder Xiao to answer ¡­"


    "Go ahead." Elder Xiao had a pretty good impression of Wang Tian Fang, especially after Wang Tian let out a bow just now. It immediately eased Elder Xiao''s expression.


    "The heavens would like to ask, this Junior Brother Lin Tian, what qualifications does he have? With his status as a new student, he did not go through the Green Cloud Challenge Competition and directly entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Not to mention he is ranked 83." He continued to speak: "If that is the case, then what is the point of our Azure Province Academy setting up the Clear Sky Challenge Competition? Those students below Junior Brother Lin Tian, where should they think in their hearts, that if they do not undergo a challenge and become a student on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, then wouldn''t that mean that they have discouraged us from passing the Life and Death Battle and become the top of the Proclamation of Azure Sky?"


    The more Wang Tian said, the more excited he became. He was extremely angry in his heart. This Lin Tian was previously a Heaven''s Pride student, that was one thing, but he had also accepted that Lin Tian''s performance was so-so.


    But how could Lin Tian so easily become a student of the Proclamation of Azure Sky? This point was somewhat unacceptable to Wang Tian Fang.


    He was also a student of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, but how much effort and effort had he put in to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky? However, how could this Lin Tian have so easily entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky?


    Elder Xiao was also slightly displeased when he heard Wang Tian Fang''s question.


    Just as he was about to retort, Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth: "Senior brother, what is your name?"


    Lin Tian''s tone was indifferent, not angry at all because of Wang Tian Fang''s questioning.


    "Wang Tian Fang!" Wang Tianfang replied word by word.


    "Senior Martial Brother Wang, you must be a genius on the Proclamation of Azure Sky?" Lin Tian asked again.


    "Just barely, he''s ranked seventeenth on the Proclamation of Azure Sky!" Although Wang Tian Fang said that he barely managed to do it, everyone who heard his words could hear the arrogance in his tone.


    "Oh, then how should I prove to Senior Martial Brother Wang that I am qualified to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky?" Lin Tian asked again.


    Wang Tian Fang was slightly startled, as he didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.

 C161

    "Oh, what I mean is, if I challenge you and I win, you won''t doubt me anymore, right?" Lin Tian said again, his tone full of seriousness.


    "What?" Everyone in the audience exclaimed once again.


    He wanted to challenge Wang Tian Fang?


    "You''re crazy!" Right at this moment, Fang Xing, who was standing next to Lin Tian, also said in surprise to Lin Tian: "Do you know who this Wang Tian Fang is?"


    "I don''t know." Lin Tian honestly replied.


    "He is the renowned genius of the East Branch. The current him is an Aurous Core stage expert, yet you want to challenge him ¡­" Fang Xing obviously had some understanding of Wang Tianfang.


    "So what? Didn''t you hear what he just said? He questioned me. I can''t prove myself?" Lin Tian had a face full of confidence.


    "Crazy, crazy, crazy ¡­" Looking at Lin Tian''s appearance, Fang Xing did not know what to say.


    "Am I hearing things?" Wang Tianfang also laughed involuntarily, "You said just now that you want to challenge me?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "Since Senior Martial Brother Wang is suspicious of me being able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky, then I will naturally prove to you that my strength can enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky."


    "Alright!" However, if you want to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky, you still need to rely on your strength to speak up. There is no limit to the amount of backbone you have, but since Junior Apprentice Brother Lin wants to prove yourself, then I will have to give you a chance ¡­ "


    You''re only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, and the disparity between our strengths is just too great. As long as you challenge me, it would be too difficult for you to win against me. I don''t mean to make things difficult for you, senior brother.


    After a pause, Wang Tian Fang continued, "I have a compromise. I don''t know if Junior-apprentice Brother Lin is willing or not."


    "I''d like to hear more about it." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    The 80th place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky is a student of my East Branch. Back then when he sparred with me, he was only able to take a dozen or so blows from me, but now, you are ranked 83rd. If you want to be ranked 83rd, then you have to take at least ten blows from me.


    "Then what if I don''t last ten moves from senior brother?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "That means you are ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and that you are unworthy of your name. Even if you were able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky today, you will be kicked out tomorrow. It is you who is disgraced, Junior Apprentice Brother Lin. I, Wang Tian Fang, will not say anything more ¡­" As Wang Tian Fang said this, he stared at Lin Tian with a burning gaze. Then he smiled and said: "If that''s the case, I wonder if Junior Apprentice Brother Lin dares or not?"


    "Elder Brother Wang, aren''t you forcing me to fight with you?" Lin Tian slightly smiled: "Of course I''m saying I dare. After all, I don''t want others to say that I did not obtain the placing for the Proclamation of Azure Sky with my own strength."


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you must have made me have a whole new level of respect for you by saying these words." Then, he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, please rest assured that I will not show you any mercy. Of course, if Junior-apprentice Brother Lin does not take ten moves from me, then there is no harm in it. You have already proven your strength.


    "Thank you senior brother for your auspicious words. However, I still feel that it really isn''t a difficult matter to withstand ten moves from senior brother Wang. Senior brother Wang, please ¡­" Lin Tian faintly smiled and then directly walked onto the arena.


    When Wang Tian Fang heard Lin Tian''s words, the smile on his face froze. He really thought that this brat was some sort of hero, but now it seems that he was just an arrogant fool ¡­.


    However, Elder Xiao''s expression became completely gloomy as the two of them fought back and forth.


    "Elder Xiao, junior brother Lin wants to challenge me. Junior brother Lin wants to prove himself, of course it''s a good thing. I hope elder Xiao can agree ¡­" Wang Tian Fang naturally noticed the gloomy expression on Elder Xiao''s face and immediately smiled at him.


    Elder Xiao did not reply. His gaze however, turned toward Gu Qing Yuan, who was in the VIP seats.


    Gu Qing Yuan slightly nodded his head. Elder Xiao immediately understood and then said: "Since the two of you want to compete, that is a good thing. However, I have said it first. Did you hear me? If I find out who killed who, don''t blame me for not showing mercy ¡­ "


    Wang Tian Fang nodded his head. In his heart, he naturally knew that this was to protect Lin Tian, but he did not plan to kill Lin Tian. He only wanted Lin Tian to suffer.


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, are you ready?" After going up on stage, Wang Tian Fang smiled and said to Lin Tian.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian didn''t say a single word, and actually took the initiative to charge towards Wang Tian Fang.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" The Yuan Power palm in Lin Tian''s hand suddenly shot towards Wang Tian Fang. The Yuan Power in the air suddenly exploded out completely. Waves of abnormally wild and violent power directly rushed towards Wang Tian Fang.


    Wang Tian Fang chuckled. "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, you''re really impolite."


    However, he was not the slightest bit worried. His palm slightly blasted out and an incomparably powerful Yuan Power instantly blew apart Lin Tian''s Heaven Collapsing Palm attack, crushing it to smithereens.


    Wang Tian Fang was an Aurous Core stage expert. Aurous Core stage cultivators were able to condense their aurous core and convert Yuan Qi into Yuan Power, causing their strength to skyrocket and become extremely terrifying.


    The moment he made his move, he could clearly see the difference in absolute strength between the two of them.


    "You try taking one of my palms." With a slight movement of his palm, a majestic wave of Yuan Power instantly locked onto Lin Tian. The power of the palm seemed to be wanting to completely tear Lin Tian apart.


    But just as that palm was about to hit Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, Wang Tian''s fist missed.


    The God Transforming Steps was Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps. Just now, Lin Tian relied on the God Transforming Steps to dodge Wang Tian Fang''s palm.


    "One move." Lin Tian smiled slightly. His figure moved forward and actually charged straight at Wang Tian Fang.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" Lin Tian once again displayed the Great Fortune Fist.


    Wang Tian Hong did not mind. With a light movement of his feet, his body also disappeared on the spot in the blink of an eye as he rushed towards Lin Tian.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, your footwork martial arts are not bad. It is just that, come and take another palm from me." Wang Tianfang once again shouted. At the same time, his palm once again shot out, "Spirit Serpent Form!"


    Wang Tian''s palm was like a spirit serpent as it coiled around Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian used the God Transforming Steps, but still couldn''t escape the palm of the Spirit Serpent Form.


    But at this time, Lin Tian''s hand faintly flashed and a green light immediately rushed out. It was the Dragon Scale Spear.


    A cold glint suddenly appeared on the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear. In the next moment, a cold glow crazily rushed towards the palm of the Spirit Serpent Form.


    BOOM! BOOM! With a loud sound, the power of the Spirit Serpent Form was immediately dissipated by Lin Tian''s spear.


    "The second move." Lin Tian spoke out again.


    "Interesting." Wang Tian Fang revealed a strange smile.

    Although Lin Tian had blocked two of his moves in a row, it was still too early to get close to ten moves, but this made Wang Tian Fang interested in Lin Tian. It seemed that this brat was not as bad as he had imagined, but so what if he was an expert? His strength was at the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage, while Lin Tian was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.


    In the face of absolute strength, anything was but an illusion.


    Wang Tian Fang no longer hesitated as monstrous Yuan Power instantly gushed out from his hand. Endless amounts of Yuan Power gathered and instantly formed a giant palm.


    "Snake Swallowing Myriad Miles!" Wang Tian Zhang roared out and the palm made of spirit energy instantly turned into a huge python. The giant python suddenly opened its mouth and pounced towards Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" For the first time, a serious expression appeared on Lin Tian''s face. This move, Wang Tian Fang did not hold back and did his best. The power of a powerhouse of the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage was all concentrated in this palm.


    While he was still flabbergasted, the python''s mouth had already closed in on Lin Tian. It was about to directly bite down on Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. His hand also fiercely gathered a monstrous amount of Essence. In an instant, he gathered a palm and punched the python''s head.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian ferociously roared, monstrous palm strength immediately exploded at the head of the python, extremely terrifying.


    However, that palm strike did not cause any damage to the python''s head. Not only that, the python head opened its mouth and swallowed the power of the Heaven Collapsing Palm directly into its stomach.


    The giant Yuan Power python that had swallowed Lin Tian''s Essence once again pounced towards Lin Tian.


    "Haha, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, your palm strike is too weak and useless to me. You can use it as nourishment for me. Many thanks!" Wang Tian Fang laughed out loud, his finger lightly moved, and in that moment, the giant python once again shook its head, and directly bit towards Lin Tian.


    "Primordial Spirit Thorn!" At the same time, Lin Tian also had other methods. Within his Divine Palace, countless Origin Spirit Spurs were already condensed and in the blink of an eye, they charged towards the huge python.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. A rapid piercing sound could be heard as the Primordial Spirit Thorn pierced through the python''s head.


    The python''s head immediately froze and its body stopped half an inch away from Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, the python head formed from Yuan Power completely cracked apart.


    "The third move!" Lin Tian coldly spat out these three words.


    He used the God Transforming Steps again, and the Great Creation Fist was unleashed once more as he charged towards Wang Tian Fang.


    "Kill!" At this moment, Wang Tian Fang was also infuriated. After three consecutive moves, he was still not able to kill this brat. In his opinion, this was already enough to make him lose face.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and with a punch of the Great Destiny Fist, he punched towards Wang Tian Fang.


    However, to Wang Tian Fang, the power of the Great Creation Fist was too ordinary. It would not harm him at all.


    Punch after punch landed on his body, but there was no reaction from Wang Tian Fang.


    But at this time, Wang Tian Fang did not plan on holding back. This time, his feet lightly moved, directly rushing towards Lin Tian. From the looks of it, he was actually fighting with Lin Tian in close combat.


    In a contest of physical strength, Lin Tian was not afraid in the slightest. He welcomed Wang Tian Fang''s flying body, and his body suddenly collided with Wang Tian Fang.


    "Bang bang!" The huge recoil forced Lin Tian back dozens of steps before stabilizing his own body. Lin Tian held onto his chest that was a bit painful from the collision and spoke again: "Fourth move!"


    Lin Tian had underestimated Wang Tian Fang''s physical body strength. When they collided, Lin Tian finally felt how terrifying Wang Tian Fang''s physical body was.


    Wang Tian Fang''s physical body was even stronger than Lin Tian''s physical body, who had used his demonic transformation technique before. More importantly, Wang Tian Fang''s strength was already much stronger than Lin Tian''s, so naturally when competing with his physical body, Wang Tian Fang''s strength was far stronger than Lin Tian''s.


    "Try taking another attack from me!" At this time, Wang Tian Fang''s face was already beginning to turn serious. Compared to the disdain he had for Lin Tian, the current Wang Tian Fang was finally beginning to face the opponent in front of him.


    "Turtle Snake Transformation!" Wang Tian Fang once again charged at Lin Tian, his entire body was now emitting a faint golden light, making him look extremely dazzling. Not only that, after he used this move, the temperament around his body also changed greatly. Lin Tian faintly felt that within Wang Tian Fang''s body, he could feel a somewhat familiar aura.


    "Turtle Snake Transformation?" At this moment, in Lin Tianshui''s residence, came a voice filled with astonishment.


    "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian asked.


    "This brat is actually of the Black Tortoise bloodline. No wonder his body is so tough. In this world, there is basically nothing harder than the tortoise shell of the Black Tortoise ¡­" Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "So it''s the Black Tortoise bloodline!" Lin Tian immediately reacted in his heart. The so-called Black Tortoise was the fusion of a tortoise and a snake. The Black Tortoise was one of the Four Divine Beasts.


    It was known as the Four Divine Beasts together with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird.


    He didn''t expect that Wang Tian Fang would possess the Black Tortoise bloodline.


    No wonder his body was so strong!


    However, knowing that Wang Tian Fang had Black Tortoise blood, Lin Tian wasn''t worried in the slightest.


    So what if it was a Black Tortoise bloodline? Compared to the Ancestral Dragon and Black Tortoise Divine Beast, it was still a long way off ¡­


    "Bang bang!" Their bodies collided heavily together once again.


    A monstrous burst of energy exploded in front of the two of them.


    "Fifth move ¡­"


    "The sixth move ¡­"


    "The ninth move!" At this time, Lin Tian forcefully endured the pain on his body and retreated a few steps. His gaze was tightly locked onto Wang Tian Fang as he spat out these words.


    In such a short span of time, this was already the ninth exchange between Lin Tian and Wang Tian Fang.


    Wang Tian Fang had personally said that as long as Lin Tian could endure ten moves from him, he would admit that Lin Tian could enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and also admit that he was ranked eighty-third.


    Unexpectedly, this was already the ninth move.


    As long as Lin Tian endured through the last move, then this matter was basically certain.


    "This brat, he can actually endure past ten moves from me?" Wang Tian Fang''s gaze became increasingly cold. If it was like this, then Lin Tian taking his ten moves would not be a big problem. However, how could Wang Tian Fang let this brat pass his test so easily.


    It seemed that he was going to go all out with the last move!


    As Wang Tianfang thought of this, he immediately stopped hesitating and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.


    That drop of essence blood instantly transformed into an incomparably large Turtle Snake simulacrum.


    "Black Tortoise true body will!" Horned Demon''s voice rang out again. Almost in an instant, he saw through Wang Tiangang''s move.


    This was a secret technique. Using the incomparably pure power of the Black Tortoise bloodline in his body, he could condense the will of a Black Tortoise.

 C163

    "Clearly, the power of the Black Tortoise bloodline in this Wang Tianfang''s body is extremely pure, which is why he was able to unleash such a power of will." At this moment, Hornless'' brows were tightly knitted.


    If Wang Tian Fang''s strength was not too different from Lin Tian''s, then there was nothing to worry about. In front of the same strength, even if it was the Black Tortoise''s will, as long as Lin Tian attacked, he would not be completely at a disadvantage. Not to mention breaking his martial will, at least he could use this move.


    But now, Wang Tian released a strength that was much stronger than Lin Tian''s. And the key thing was that the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline''s power was indeed much stronger than the Black Tortoise Bloodline''s power, but the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline power in Lin Tian''s body was not pure at all ¡­


    The Black Tortoise bloodline power in Wang Tian Fang''s body was too pure.


    This time, he was in big trouble. He naturally knew that if Lin Tian did not endure ten moves from Wang Tian, it also meant that Lin Tian''s strength was not enough to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    That Wang Tian Fang could also use this matter to make a big story out of it.


    "What should we do? Don''t tell me we have to act ourselves?" Horned Demon was currently in a state of panic. This was the first time he had been so hesitant. There was no helping it, the Black Tortoise true body will that Wang Tian Fang had suddenly displayed was truly beyond his expectations.


    However, even if it could stop the Black Tortoise''s will, Horned Demon would have to pay the price of temporarily resting and his soul power would be heavily injured as well.


    Lin Tian could feel Horned Demon''s thoughts.


    "I''ll fight it out with him!" Lin Tian didn''t have any other options at this time. Even if Wang Tian Fang used this move, he wouldn''t have thought of it. Right now, the only option left was to go all out.


    There would be a lot of uses for the Horned Demon later. If the Horned Demon fell into hibernation, then he would be in big trouble.


    The last time Horned Demon''s soul body was damaged, and it was only with the help of the Pagoda Fruit that he was able to completely recover his soul body. However, not every time there was a shadow of the dragon gate open, allowing Lin Tian to find the Pagoda Fruit.


    The Essence in his body wildly spread out, and the Dragon Scale Spear was firmly held in his hand. At the same time, the whirlpool in his dantian was also madly revolving, providing endless power to Lin Tianchong.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian made the first move.


    Seeing Lin Tian make his move, a strange smile appeared on Wang Tian Fang''s pale face.


    The Mandate of the Black Tortoise wasn''t something that could be broken by him just like that. If it was broken by him just like that, what kind of ultimate move would that be?


    Wang Tianfang had paid the price of a mouthful of blood essence to display the will of the Black Tortoise. Naturally, he was extremely confident in his own abilities.


    "Go!" Wang Tian Fang''s finger moved slightly, and the image of the Black Tortoise suddenly charged towards Lin Tian.


    "Roar!" The Black Tortoise ferociously roared. At this moment, the world seemed to change color because of this roar.


    That was the Black Tortoise, one of the Four Divine Beasts. It possessed all sorts of inconceivable and extremely terrifying might.


    Accompanying the Black Tortoise image''s angry roar, Lin Tian Deng felt his body suddenly become heavy, no longer feeling light and agile like before.


    The power of the Black Tortoise had sealed Lin Tian''s strength.


    At this time, as the Black Tortoise image approached, Lin Tian felt his body become heavier and heavier, as if he was carrying millions of pounds of power as he walked.


    The Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand was currently also trembling. The light on the Dragon Scale Spear had also completely disappeared, and from time to time, it would let out a sorrowful cry.


    Obviously, the Dragon Scale Spear was also afraid of the Black Tortoise''s image.


    The Essence around Lin Tian was directly dispersed by the power of the Black Tortoise. What was even more terrifying was that the whirlpool of Dantian within Lin Tian''s body was greatly slowed down.


    In short, the Black Tortoise image approached Lin Tian and completely suppressed Lin Tian''s strength. It no longer had the might from before.


    Lin Tian inwardly complained, but there was nothing he could do.


    In the Divine Palace, Lin Tian''s soul was currently being suppressed and he couldn''t completely condense his Spirit power.


    Horned Demon also felt the change in Lin Tian''s body. He hesitated for a bit and was about to rush out of the forest to block the Black Tortoise image for Lin Tian.


    Within Lin Tian''s body, there was suddenly an even stranger change.


    "Buzz, buzz, buzz..." Such a strange sound suddenly came from Lin Tian''s body, sounding extremely terrifying.


    In the next moment, the image of the Black Tortoise had already completely arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    The buzzing sound coming from Lin Tian''s body also immediately became crazily loud.


    In the next moment, on Lin Tian''s left arm, a small white bug suddenly rushed out.


    He then rushed towards the black tortoise image.


    "Iceworm!" Lin Tian immediately shouted out.


    Horned Demon was also startled. He immediately reacted and laughed out loud, "I did not expect that it would actually wake up this little thing. I don''t need to do anything then ¡­"


    It was the Icy Silkworm.


    Previously in the training field, the ice silkworm had swallowed the Rank 5 Demonic Beast Flood Dragon and the power of the thunder tribulation. Afterwards, it had been in a deep sleep within Lin Tian''s body.


    However, he hadn''t expected that the appearance of the black tortoise image would wake up the ice silkworm.


    With a light leap, the ice bug flew towards the black tortoise image.


    In the next moment, a sudden change occurred. The ice bug opened its mouth and gently spat out an extremely frightening ice-cold power, which immediately rushed out and swept towards the black tortoise image. The ice-cold power quickly wrapped around the black tortoise image, and then actually froze it into an ice pillar.


    At the same time, the Ice Silkworm gently inhaled and the ice pillar immediately turned into strands of cold energy, which was once again swallowed by the Ice Silkworm into its body.


    The image of the black tortoise, accompanied by the icy power, became a delicacy within the mouth of the Ice Silkworm.


    "This ¡­" Wang Tian Fang looked at the scene before him in disbelief. Then, he suddenly fell to the ground with his face towards the sky, blood pouring from his mouth.


    Just now, in order to form the image of the Xuanwu, Wang Tian spat out a mouthful of the Xuanwu true blood that he had been refining for a long time. But now, it was gone. He had taken advantage of the Ice Silkworm ¡­


    After swallowing the Black Tortoise image, the Ice Worm baby shook its head and then slowly flew back in front of Lin Tian. Once again, it turned into a shadow and imprinted itself onto Lin Tian''s left arm.


    Without the suppression of the Black Tortoise power, Lin Tian Deng felt that all of the power in his body had been restored.


    "The tenth move!" At the same time, Lin Tian''s voice indifferently sounded out: "Senior brother Wang, I received your ten moves. Please remember what you said before!"


    Wang Tian Fang who was on the ground turned pale, the blood at the corner of his mouth had already dried up.


    He originally wanted to stop Lin Tian from entering the Proclamation of Azure Sky, but he didn''t think that Lin Tian would actually receive ten of his moves in public, and that he would become his foil. The most important thing was that he had lost a drop of his extremely pure Black Tortoise True Blood.


    Wang Tianxuan''s heart was as though dying embers. He collapsed to the ground, motionless and silent ¡­

 C164

    This episode quickly passed by and Lin Tian used his own strength to prove that he could indeed enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    The eighty-third place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Lin Tian''s battle to fame shook the entire Azure Province.


    All the powers in the Azure Continent knew of Lin Tian''s name.


    At the same time, the fierce Qingzhou Academy preliminaries also officially declared the end of the competition.


    This time, in the arena battle, the top twenty genius students were rewarded. There were also rewards for the four branch academies'' rankings.


    Following the end of the Qingzhou Academy Qualification Competition, the Headmasters of the East and South Academies were also leaving with their branch students one after another.


    Only the Principal of the Northern Courtyard, Yang Qingtian, stayed. There was no other reason, the main reason was because of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian said that he still needed a day''s time to bid farewell to some people.


    The fact that Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard already made Yang Qingtian unable to hide his smile. If Lin Tian had any requests, Yang Qingtian would naturally give it his all to satisfy them.


    It was just staying for a day, Yang Qingtian could afford to wait.


    It was also because of this that all the students of the Northern Courtyard had to wait for Lin Tian for a day.


    In this day, Lin Tian did not stay idle. Lin Tian first went to the West City''s Clear Pavilion Pavilion.


    Jiang Liu''er and Hua Ruyi, Lin Tian still had to bid his farewells.


    Especially Hua Ruyi, her matter was related to Yun Huang, Lin Tian couldn''t help but be worried.


    Last time, Hua Rui had said that the person with natural seductive body talent she had taken a fancy to would arrive in half a year. To be safe, Lin Tian had left behind a jade slip made with his own mental power.


    Just in case, if that person came earlier, Hua Ruyi would immediately crush the jade chip. Lin Tian would be able to sense that something had happened to Hua Ruoyi, and Lin Tian would quickly rush over.


    As for Jiang Liu''er''s background, Lin Tian also said that he would do his best to help investigate it.


    When they were about to leave, Hua Rui didn''t say much and only gave Lin Tian a storage ring. Without even thinking, Lin Tian knew what was inside the storage ring.


    "Actually, I already have enough Spirit Stones. I don''t need that much ¡­" Lin Tian wanted to tactfully decline.


    However, before she could finish her sentence, a misty look flashed across Hua Ruyi''s eyes. "Does Young Master really hate me that much? Even Young Master is unwilling to part with my gift? "


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll accept it ¡­" Lin Tian could be considered a person who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth, but he was powerless towards a woman''s tears.


    Hua Ruyi was immediately happy, and then she looked at Lin Tian: "Young master, you must clearly remember what you said, I ¡­ ¡­ "I''ll be waiting for you ¡­"


    As she finished her sentence, Hua Ruyi''s voice was like that of a mosquito''s, making it hard for others to hear her.


    "..." Lin Tian was slightly startled. Looking at Hua Ruoyi''s appearance, he immediately felt his throat dry up. However, he was unable to say another word and could only nod his head.


    Hua Ruyi faintly smiled and turned to enter the Clear Pavilion.


    "Brother Tian, I say you can do it. Looking at Big Sister Hua''s appearance, does she like you ¡­" Jiang Liu''er looked at Hua Ruoyi''s current appearance and her heart was filled with admiration towards Lin Tian. Normally, many men wanted to smile at beauties, but Big Sister Hua would always keep people at a distance. Only towards Lin Tian, she would smile.


    "You little brat, you know what it means to like!" Lin Tian snapped at Jiang Liu''er: "Have you learned the Great Fortune Fist that I taught you!"


    After watching it, he kept pestering Lin Tian, making Lin Tian teach him martial arts. Jiang Liu''er''s foundation was pretty good, so Lin Tian didn''t refuse and passed down the Great Fortune Fist to him.


    "I''ve learned it. Right now, I can already release nine layers of fist energy from the first form. In a few days, I will be able to train the second form ¡­" Jiang Liu''er said proudly to Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, he did not expect that Jiang Liu''er''s talent in martial arts was beyond his expectations.


    "Here, this is for you. When your life is in danger, just crush it. It can save your life." Lin Tian thought for a moment, then he took out another jade slip from his storage ring and gave it to Jiang Liu''er.


    The jade slip contained the power of Lin Tian''s Origin Divine Thrust. Once it was crushed, it was equivalent to Lin Tian''s full power attack.


    Not many people could withstand the full power of Lin Tian''s Immortal Soul Sting. To say that he could save Jiang Liu''er''s life at a critical moment was not an exaggeration.


    With regards to this Jiang Liu''er, Lin Tian still liked him very much. He did not have any eyes for him, and he treated people sincerely, so Lin Tian treated him as his own little brother in his heart. Right now, Lin Tian did not have any relatives, and his parents did not know where they were, but with a little brother like Jiang Liu''er, Lin Tian more or less felt some warmth in his heart.


    When Lin Tian left, he did not notice that Hua Ruyi from the Clear Pavilion was silently watching Lin Tian leave.


    I say, kid, you might as well take that Hua Ruyi. You don''t know, a natural born bewitching body would be of great help to you, especially helping you to dual cultivate. Purifying the bloodline power in your body can be said to be a miracle. Inside Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, the voice of Horned Demon sounded out once again.


    "I''ll try your ass!" Lin Tian cursed once and then no longer paid attention to Hornless.


    "Sigh, a brat who doesn''t know his dragon heart ¡­" As he said this, Horned Demon sighed and said, "What a pity for the physique that is innately bewitching ¡­"


    "Lin Tian, you''re finally back. The dean is looking for you ¡­." Just as she returned to the Azure Province Academy, Gu Yan''er anxiously looked towards Lin Tian Dao.


    "Principal, Yang Qingtian?" Lin Tian spoke in surprise.


    "No, it''s the Principal, Gu Qingyuan!" Gu Yan''er shook her head as she replied.


    "Gu Qingyuan?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and then whispered: "Why is he looking for me?"


    Gu Qingyuan was his master''s master, Xiao Yunhai, which was also his Martial Ancestor. Although he was called Martial Ancestor, Lin Tian only saw his legendary Martial Ancestor for the first time since coming to the Azure Province Academy.


    However, Lin Tian could more or less feel that this Martial Ancestor was still very concerned about him, including when he had previously injured Su Tian and Zhang Taixu on the arena battle. In the end, it was his own Martial Ancestor who took care of everything for him.


    Towards this Martial Ancestor, Lin Tian was very curious, especially this Martial Ancestor. Back then, he had some grudges with his own master, Xiao Yunhai, which made Lin Tian incomparably look forward to what the reason for this Martial Ancestor was.


    Without thinking too much, Lin Tian directly went to the back mountain of the Azure Province Academy.


    This place was the tomb of the previous headmasters of the Azure Province, as well as Gu Qingyuan''s residence.


    The Exquisite Pagoda was erected right here. Next to it, stood the other most precious treasure of the Qingzhou School, the Eternal Bell.


    Seeing the ancient clock, Lin Tian''s heart suddenly moved.


    However, he didn''t think too much about it. Instead, he went straight to Gu Qingyuan''s room.

 C165

    Initially, Lin Tian remembered that after he had passed the eighteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial, he had encountered the first dean of the Azure Province, Xiao Kuangge.


    At that time, Lin Tian remembered that Xiao Kuangge had specially instructed him to come to his grave to pay respects if he came to the headquarters of the Azure Province Academy. Although Lin Tian didn''t know what it meant, since Xiao Kuangge said so, he must go.


    Moreover, the Heaven Collapsing Palm that he had in his hand was something that Xiao Kuangge had passed on to him in the first place.


    At this time, Gu Qingyuan was already in his room waiting for Lin Tian.


    Speaking of strange things, Gu Qingyuan was the head of the Azure Province''s school, but he always stayed in the tombs behind the mountains.


    It was as if he was guarding the tomb of a previous generation of Principal.


    This was the first time he had to meet this cheap Martial Ancestor, so Lin Tian''s feelings were a bit complicated.


    Ever since he knew of the relationship between his master Xiao Yunhai and this ancestor, Lin Tian more or less felt that it was still a little difficult to face.


    However, this time''s Qingzhou Academy''s preliminaries made Lin Tian greatly change his opinion of this cheap grandmaster. No matter what he did, he was really worried about Lin Tian. Lin Tian could feel it himself.


    However, he didn''t know why this Martial Ancestor was looking for him. Lin Tian''s heart was a bit uneasy and nervous.


    "What? Are you afraid of me?" Just as Lin Tian''s heart was unsettled, Gu Qingyuan''s voice suddenly came from within the room.


    Gu Qingyuan was currently staring at Lin Tian with a burning gaze, as if he was waiting for Lin Tian''s answer.


    "Disciple pays his respects to Master Ancestor!" This Gu Qingyuan in front of him was Xiao Yunhai''s master, and Xiao Yunhai was like a father and son to him. No matter what, when he saw Gu Qingyuan, he would naturally be respectful.


    "Forget it, your master, did he go to Heavenly Star City?" Gu Qingyuan lightly waved his hand and then sighed as he asked about Xiao Yunhai''s news.


    "That''s right!" Before Lin Tian had left Sky Dragon City, he had heard about the past from Xiao Yunhai.


    Furthermore, after Lin Tian had left Sky Dragon City, Xiao Yunhai had also gone back to Heavenly Star City. His goal was naturally to find that legendary Mistress Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian originally thought that Gu Qingyuan wouldn''t know about this, but he didn''t think that Gu Qingyuan would also know about it.


    I know that back then, he went to Sky Dragon City to punish himself in order not to make things difficult for me. But even if the disciples of I, Gu Qingyuan, committed a heinous crime, so what? If they were my disciples, I would have saved them. At this point, Gu Qingyuan''s tone suddenly became serious.


    "No wonder Master was so protective back then. It seems like there''s a reason. This Martial Ancestor was an extremely protective person to begin with." Lin Tian couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. From Gu Qingyuan''s words, Lin Tian naturally heard his intentions of protecting his little brother.


    "But he did get a good foundation. No wonder he came back to beg me to give you a chance!" Gu Qingyuan''s gaze once again stared at Lin Tian, as if he wanted to see through all of Lin Tian''s secrets.


    "Grandteacher, you flatter me ¡­" Lin Tian smiled slightly as his gaze met Gu Qingyuan''s gaze.


    "This kid''s character is pretty good!" Gu Qingyuan''s eyes lit up. He didn''t notice anything from Lin Tian''s gaze.


    He could only feel the confidence in Lin Tian''s eyes. There was also the respect he had for his elders and he wasn''t afraid in the slightest. In other words, Lin Tian wasn''t afraid of Gu Qingyuan.


    It was already extremely rare to have this kind of mentality. Normally, no matter how strong a Heaven''s Pride was, when they met him, they would somewhat display fear and fear. It was very rare for them to be able to appear so calm in front of him like Lin Tian.


    "You have a lot of secrets ¡­" Gu Qingyuan suddenly said these words when he thought of this.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then his eyes instantly narrowed.


    Lin Tian couldn''t figure out what the Martial Ancestor in front of him was thinking at this time.


    "I don''t understand what Martial Ancestor means ¡­" Lin Tian''s gaze was still indifferent as he asked again.


    "Scared?" Gu Qingyuan faintly smiled: "Having a secret is very normal, I have heard your name before, but I also know that your talent is only in the middle. To achieve your current achievements, it can be said to be very difficult, but now that you have achieved it, I think you must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Gu Qingyuan had heard of his name before. Doesn''t that mean that Gu Qingyuan had been paying attention to Lin Tian since a long time ago?


    It seemed that this Martial Ancestor was concerned about him, or else it would be impossible for him to know this person''s name.


    Not to mention the one standing in front of him was Gu Qingyuan, even Xiao Yunhai wouldn''t be able to do it. Any of the secrets that he hid, once spread out, would bring a fatal disaster to Lin Tian ¡­


    "Brat, don''t worry. Everyone has their own secrets. The reason why I let you come is not to ask for your secrets, but to tell you ¡­" Gu Qingyuan paused.


    "Tell me what?" Lin Tian asked.


    "I''m telling you, I''m your grandteacher. If you encounter something you can''t solve by yourself, remember to tell me. As your grandmaster, I''ll help you until the end!" When Gu Qingyuan said this, his tone was full of dominance, "No matter what, I will stand by your side."


    Lin Tian''s heart was greatly shaken when he heard this. He never would have thought that Gu Qing Yuan came to find him to tell him this. To be honest, Gu Qing Yuan''s words just now made Lin Tian feel very moved and warm.


    "Okay, didn''t you pass the 18th floor of the Exquisite Pagoda?" Gu Qingyuan saw the moved look in Lin Tian''s eyes and waved his hand, changing the topic.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    "The eighteenth level should contain a thread of the spirit of the first great Headmaster ¡­" Gu Qingyuan asked.


    "Exactly."


    "What did he say?" Gu Qingyuan asked with a face full of expectation.


    "I didn''t say anything special ¡­" Lin Tian recalled the conversation he had with Xiao Kuangge and then he clearly described the scene from that day to Gu Qingyuan.


    "That''s strange." Gu Qingyuan was slightly surprised, but he did not say anything else. Instead, he directly said: "Since Gu Qingyuan said that you will go to his grave to pay a visit, then go. Perhaps, you really will gain something!"


    After saying that, Gu Qingyuan waved his hand, indicating for Lin Tian to leave.


    Lin Tian respectfully bowed, then said: "Thank you for grandmaster''s concern. I will work hard!"


    After saying this, he directly left.


    Lin Tian didn''t notice that after he left, Gu Qingyuan''s brows immediately furrowed: "Principal Xiao didn''t expect such a change to occur a thousand years later today. It seems that I have to inform the king of this matter as soon as possible ¡­"

 C166

    After exiting Gu Qingyuan''s room, Lin Tian directly went to Xiao Kuangge''s grave. Gu Qingyuan''s room was located in the back mountain of the Azure Province Institute. The back mountain was the grave of the twenty-six principals of the Azure Province for the past thousand years.


    Gu Qingyuan was the twenty-seventh ranked student. It was the rule of the Azure Province that after a principal passed away in meditation, he had to be buried in the back mountain.


    Xiao Kuangge''s tomb was relatively easy to find because it was right next to the ancient clock.


    When Lin Tian had rushed to the 18th floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, he had awoken a trace of Xiao Kuangge''s soul. It was precisely because Xiao Kuangge''s soul had awoken that the ancient bell had rung, causing it to attract the attention of the Five Great Academies of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    However, Lin Tian naturally did not know of all this.


    But on this trip to Xiao Kuangge''s grave, Lin Tian felt a sense of familiarity.


    Especially after arriving in front of the ancient bell, it made Lin Tian feel an abnormal intimacy.


    It was as if there was something in his body that was somehow connected to the ancient bell.


    However, this feeling did not last long before it disappeared again.


    Lin Tian did not think too much and directly arrived in front of Xiao Kuangge''s grave. Just as he was about to pay his respects, Xiao Kuangge''s grave suddenly emitted an enormous light from the tombstone.


    In the next moment, that ray of light crazily rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had no time to dodge and the light enveloped Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian abruptly discovered that he had arrived at another place.


    "This is ¡­" Lin Tian looked at the surroundings which were covered in a grey haze. His heart immediately became vigilant.


    "Little friend, we meet again ¡­" The next moment, a familiar voice came from the empty space.


    Lin Tian looked around and discovered that not far away, there was a transparent spirit body.


    That spirit body was none other than Xiao Kuangge.


    Xiao Kuangge''s eyes were filled with a smile. Obviously, he was in a very good mood when he saw Lin Tian again.


    "Senior!" Lin Tian saw Xiao Kuangge once again and was quite surprised. He couldn''t help but ask: "Senior, is this another trace of the power of your soul?"


    "That''s right, this is the last strand of will left by my soul. I never thought that you would actually keep your word and actually come to worship me." Xiao Kuangge lightly smiled.


    "Senior, when you first passed down the Heaven Collapsing Palm, in terms of emotion and reason, you also came to pay your respects to me." Accepting favors from others, Lin Tian naturally had to be careful and express his gratitude.


    Lin Tian''s personality was that he would definitely take revenge, but Lin Tian was also a person who owed him a great debt.


    "You''re a man of character." Xiao Kuangge laughed and then said: "Since you have come, consider it our fate. Whatever, I will pass these things of mine to you. In this way, I won''t have to worry about anything else."


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, as if he didn''t understand what Xiao Kuangge meant. Did this Xiao Kuangge''s meaning mean that there was something else he wanted to give him?


    Lin Tian had guessed correctly.


    Xiao Kuangge really did have something for him.


    Xiao Kuangge''s finger moved slightly. Immediately, the entire space began to tremble intensely.


    "This, this is?" Lin Tian''s eyes widened as he stared unblinkingly at his feet.


    Very soon, a corpse drilled out from the ground.


    Lin Tian was even more astonished. He didn''t know what Xiao Kuangge was trying to do.


    There was no trace of life on the body. It had clearly been dead for a long time. But the strange thing was, why didn''t his body rot? The corpse''s face was serene, as if it had just died.


    However, thinking of Xiao Kuangge, he had died a thousand years ago and this corpse was at least a thousand years old. However, this corpse was still preserved in such a perfect state. This was truly strange.


    "Kid, what do you know, this is the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse ¡­" At this time, in the Divine Palace, Horned Demon''s voice suddenly sounded.


    "Earth Terminus Yin Corpse?" Lin Tian was even more unfamiliar as he had never heard of it.


    "No wonder. No wonder all the headmasters buried them here after they died ¡­" Horned Demon said something extremely strange.


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian asked again.


    "This Earth Fiend Yin Corpse is actually a puppet. The reason it is called Earth Fiend Yin Corpse is because this puppet absorbs enough Earth Fiend energy. Of course, there is also endless Yin Qi." Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "This Earth Fiend Corpse''s body is so complete, it is because of the nourishment of the Earth Fiend''s power, plus the Yin Qi, it was caused by it. Moreover, with this power, he has a puppet that is equivalent to continuously training, I can feel that the power of this corpse, is not weaker than a Star rank expert ¡­"


    "What?" Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel shocked in his heart.


    "Brat, now that you know why the previous headmaster died, shouldn''t his corpse be buried here ¡­" Hornless asked with a smile.


    "If you say it like that, I can more or less guess something. You mean, it is to provide Yin Qi to this Earth Terminus Yin Corpse?" Lin Tian hesitantly asked.


    "Not too stupid." The Horned Demon laughed and said: "That is exactly the case, I presume that the Earth Terminus are extremely powerful, that is why that Xiao Kuangge was able to open a cemetery here, and even made a rule that in the future, all the Headmasters, once they pass away in meditation, must be buried here. Their goal is to provide the corpse with Yin Qi."


    "Now that a thousand years have passed, this corpse must have already absorbed all of the Earth Fiend energy in this place. Not only that, it could also absorb all of the Yin Qi gathered here into its own body."


    Speaking up to here, Lin Tian''s eyes immediately shot out two peculiar rays of light: "What a big hand!"


    This Xiao Kuangge was scheming, he actually managed to come up with such a trick, the strength of the past headmasters, were at least at the ninth level of the Star River, and there were even some experts of the Life and Death Realm. After they died, the Yin energy generated in their bodies was simply unimaginable, but in the end, it was all absorbed by this corpse, it could be imagined how strong was this corpse that absorbed all of the Yin energy!


    However, Xiao Kuangge had spent so much effort, so what was the purpose of this puppet?


    "Kid, this puppet was my whim before I died. I obtained a secret technique to raise the corpses of puppets, so I wanted to refine a strong puppet. I never thought that after a thousand years of training, I would finally be able to successfully refine a puppet." Xiao Kuangge sighed: "However, the reason why I am refining this puppet, is also to leave it for someone with a destiny ¡­ "Now, you and I are destined for each other. Consider this puppet''s corpse a gift from me ¡­"


    "For me?" Lin Tian felt that happiness came too suddenly.


    "Mm. In a thousand years, you are the first student to pass the eighteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda. You have awoken me, so you and I are considered fated to meet. I''ll give you this puppet, but you have to make good use of it." Xiao Kuangge faintly smiled.

 C167

    "Naturally. Senior, please rest assured." Lin Tian hurriedly nodded his head.


    He naturally knew that this was an opportunity that could not be missed.


    "Mm, the method to control and refine this puppet''s corpse is recorded within that secret technique. I''ll teach you the method to control the puppet as well." As he spoke, Xiao Kuangge lightly tapped Lin Tian''s forehead. Lin Tian immediately felt a wave of mixed memories rush towards his head like a tide.


    "Great Puppet Technique?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but mutter.


    The secret technique that Xiao Kuangge had just taught Lin Tian was the Great Puppet Technique.


    There were records of the tempering of puppets and the manipulation of puppet techniques. The records were extremely detailed.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t have the time to look any further. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Kuangge and said: "Senior''s great kindness, this junior will be forever grateful."


    "No worries. You are a Heaven''s Pride student of the Azure Province Academy. In addition to that, you and I are fated to be together. This is your opportunity." Xiao Kuangge faintly smiled and said.


    Finished speaking, Xiao Kuangge continued: "Oh right, I still have a useless thing, you should take it as well."


    As he said this, Lin Tiankang felt a wave of numbness in the Divine Palace. In the next moment, an extremely huge stone tablet appeared in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian was slightly stunned, then bitterly smiled as he said: "Senior, why did you give your tombstone to me?"


    It turned out that the stone tablet that had entered the Heavenly God Palace was Xiao Kuangge''s tombstone.


    Giving away a tombstone to someone, this Xiao Kuangge was really good to him. Lin Tian couldn''t help but think to himself.


    "Why? If you don''t want it, then I''ll take it back ¡­" Xiao Kuangge immediately laughed.


    "How can I take back the things that I''ve already given out?" Lin Tian casually said this, how could he possibly let Xiao Kuangge take it back?


    Even if Lin Tian did not take the goods, he knew that Xiao Kuangge''s entire body did not have anything worthless. Forget about anything else, just the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was an incomparably powerful item. Although Lin Tian did not know what use this tombstone had, it was definitely not an ordinary item.


    As if he had guessed Lin Tian''s thoughts, Xiao Kuangge couldn''t help but curse: "I knew you kid was smart ¡­."


    Then, he softly sighed and said: "Brat, it''s really nice to meet you. However, this time, I''ll really say goodbye, this is the last trace of the power of my soul, from now on, the last trace of my soul power will be completely destroyed. However, once these two items are sent out, I can be considered to have completely understood my inner thoughts, and can be considered to be smiling from the bottom of my heart ¡­"


    "Senior!" When Lin Tian heard Xiao Kuangge''s words, a wave of reluctance suddenly rose up in his heart and he couldn''t help but shout out.


    "Go on, goodbye, kid." Xiao Kuangge muttered to himself: "It''s gone, it''s gone ¡­"


    After he finished speaking, Xiao Kuangge''s power of the soul immediately dissipated without a trace.


    "Senior!" Lin Tian loudly shouted.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes.


    Time seemed to have returned to the moment when Lin Tian arrived in front of Xiao Kuangge''s grave.


    He was still standing in front of Xiao Kuangge''s grave. The tombstone in front of Xiao Kuangge''s grave was completely intact without a single missing piece.


    "Did I just have a dream?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised as he exclaimed.


    "But, isn''t this dream a little too realistic?" Lin Tian was at a loss for a bit, but after he investigated his own Divine Palace, Lin Tian Deng immediately understood.


    It wasn''t a dream!


    Currently, there was still a stone tablet in his Divine Palace. However, it was obvious that this stone tablet was completely different from the one in front of him.


    "That stone tablet is a space storage or something." At the same time, Horned Demon replied in a timely manner.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded and with a thought, he went inside the stone tablet. As Lin Tian expected, within the stone tablet, there was indeed the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    Lin Tian was not in a hurry to study the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, right now was not the right time.


    He had already stayed here for long enough. Lin Tian respectfully paid his respects to Xiao Kuangge''s grave and paid his respects. After that, he hurriedly left.


    As for Gu Qingyuan, who was in the room, he seemed to not have noticed anything. In his eyes, he only saw Lin Tian leaving his room and then went to pay his respects to Xiao Kuangge before leaving.


    However, Gu Qingyuan didn''t know why, but he suddenly felt that the Yin Qi in the tomb he was guarding had disappeared a lot.


    Gu Qingyuan didn''t know why, but he didn''t have the time to think about it. He had more important things to do right now.


    Lin Tian hurried back to his room and without much hesitation, began packing his own luggage.


    Originally, the people from the Northern Courtyard should have returned to their respective branches with the people from the Eastern and Southern Academies yesterday.


    However, in order to give everyone a farewell, Yang Qingtian had specially made everyone in the Northern Courtyard stay here and wait for Lin Tian for a day.


    Because of Lin Tian, they had originally wasted a day, and today, no matter what, they had to leave.


    Fortunately, Lin Tian had understood everything in Qingzhou City. He had also met with his own grandmaster and even obtained two of Xiao Kuangge''s treasures. No matter what, the gains from so many days could be considered to be quite bountiful.


    In the following period of time, he would need to rest and work hard to cultivate.


    Lin Tian packed his luggage and directly went to look for Yang Qingtian.


    Not like Lin Tian, Yang Qingtian and the rest had already packed up, and now that Lin Tian had arrived, they could immediately set off.


    Qingzhou Academy''s headquarters was located in Qingzhou City, but this headquarters was only a symbolic structure. There were no instructors nor were there many students.


    The main body of the Azure Province Academy was located in the north, south, east, and west branches.


    And the locations of these four branches were located thousands of miles away from Qingzhou City in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    On both sides of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range were the four major academies of the Azure Province.


    However, although they were thousands of miles apart, there were teleportation arrays between the Azure Province Academy''s headquarters and their respective branches.


    With the teleportation formation, it only took a few moments for him to return to the Northern Courtyard.


    The teleportation formation was located in the teleportation tower not far from the Martial Arts Practice Grounds, and Elder Xiao was in charge of it.


    Yang Qingtian went to find Elder Xiao and a group of men rushed to the Teleportation Tower.


    Seeing Yang Qingtian, Elder Xiao could not help but laugh: "Old Yang, this time, the Northern Courtyard has completely turned the tables. This time, they have recruited so many students with limitless potential, especially a few students from the Hidden Dragon Institute, and even an expert who is on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, I am looking forward to next year''s spring competition of the four academies!"


    "Elder Xiao is being too courteous." A smile bloomed on Yang Qingtian''s face.


    It was obvious that the two of them were familiar with each other. They politely and warmly chatted along the way until they arrived at the teleportation tower.


    Opening the teleportation arrays required a large amount of spirit stones.


    However, Elder Xiao took out a Spirit Crystal from his storage ring. Looking at its quality, it was definitely a top grade Spirit Crystal. Although it was a small piece, it instantly activated the Teleportation Array.


    "Farewell, everyone." Elder Xiao smiled faintly, and everyone returned the greeting.


    In that instant, everyone felt as if the sky and earth were spinning, and before long, they arrived at another place.


    "Noobs, welcome to the Northern Courtyard. Welcome to the ¡ª" Before anyone could recover their senses, an extremely cold voice suddenly rang in their ears, "Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range!"

 C168

    Hearing that, the hearts of the people still in the Teleportation Array went slightly cold. Lin Tian''s eyes also narrowed. What? They just arrived and someone wants to give them a show of strength?


    Thinking like this, Lin Tian''s gaze suddenly turned towards Yang Qingtian. Yang Qingtian only lightly smiled and then said to the person who came, "Shangguan Tu, with your loud voice, aren''t you afraid of scaring the new students?"


    Only now did everyone clearly see the face of the person who spoke earlier. It was a rugged, burly man. His face had a faint scar of a knife, making him look extremely sinister and terrifying.


    Shangguan Tu was not overly surprised when he saw the dean among this group of people. He only turned his body slightly and saluted: "Chief!"


    Yang Qingtian nodded and then asked, "What? Was it Principal Li who asked you to come?"


    "Yes, this disciple is the senior responsible for receiving these new students." Shangguan Tu answered.


    "Alright, I''ll leave these new students to you. Take them on a tour around the Northern Courtyard!" When Yang Qingtian spoke, no matter how he felt, he felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words.


    Shangguan Tu did not say anything, but nodded.


    Yang Qingtian looked at the crowd and then chuckled: "Rest assured, this Senior Shangguan is a student recruited last year, he is only older than you two by a grade. He will bring you guys to familiarize yourself with our North Courtyard, I wish you luck!"


    Saying that, Yang Qingtian did not say anymore. He brought the people who followed him to the Azure Province Institute to recruit disciples, and immediately left this place.


    "Alright, let''s go." When Shangguan Tu saw Yang Qingtian leave, he did not waste any words and led the rest of his men away from the Teleportation Formation.


    "Senior Martial Brother Shangguan, where are we going now?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    "Did I let you speak?" Shangguan Tu''s eyes immediately became fierce, "This is the last time, you all better listen carefully. If you speak without my permission again, then I won''t hold back, don''t blame me for bullying you!"


    Everyone was shocked, and even Fang Xing''s expression turned ugly. He hadn''t thought that Shangguan Tu would be so irritable after he asked such a simple question.


    Lin Tian''s face suddenly became gloomy: "Is this Shangguan Tu''s temper or is it to intimidate them?"


    However, just as Lin Tian was about to say something, Du Feng suddenly grabbed onto Lin Tian.


    "Do you want him to wear small shoes for us in the future? Don''t talk for now!"


    Lin Tian immediately reacted. The so-called Shangguan Tu, the person who received them, was actually the one who led them. Shangguan Tu was the most important person who led them into the Northern Courtyard, the person who led them to understand the Northern Courtyard.


    If they offended Shangguan Tu and they didn''t even understand the Northern Courtyard, they would be hated by Shangguan Tu. This was trouble, so why provoke him now and add so much trouble to themselves?


    Seeing that the crowd was obedient and didn''t dare to say anything, Shangguan Tu''s complexion improved a bit. Without a word, he led the crowd forward.


    The four branch academies, East, West, and North, were distributed on both sides of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was an incomparably huge mountain range that stretched across the southwest of the Azure Province Academy.


    The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, as its name implied, was filled with endless waves of demonic beasts. There were layers upon layers of mountains everywhere, overgrown with ancient trees.


    The main reason why the north, south, east, and west branches were placed here was because of the demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and the unique terrain. It was very suitable for the students to train here.


    The Northern Courtyard was on the west side of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. The other branch was the Western Courtyard.


    The East District and the South District were on the east side.


    Along the way, Lin Tian saw countless students in a hurry. Those students only looked at the road under their feet and didn''t pay any attention to Lin Tian''s group.


    "Kill!" After another stretch of journey, Lin Tian and the others suddenly heard shouts of battle.


    Lin Tian was baffled. Why was there someone fighting here? Or perhaps they were fighting with demon beasts.


    Only when they got closer did they realize that the people fighting were not demon beasts, but the students of the Northern Courtyard.


    The students of the Northern Courtyard were actually killing each other!


    Could the students of the Northern Courtyard still kill each other?


    Most importantly, the two people who were fighting were clearly going all out. However, there were countless observers, but they did not stop them. Instead, they stood to the side and pointed at the people who were betting on who would win.


    Lin Tian became more and more strange. He was just about to ask something.


    However, a student suddenly walked over from not too far away. When he saw Shangguan Tu, he asked with a smile, "Butcher, come and take a gamble?"


    However, Shangguan Tu shook his head and said: "There''s still the mission. I''ll come again after I send this group of noobs to the instructor."


    "Oh, to think that I would receive so many rookies this year ¡­" At this time, one of the onlookers suddenly shouted.


    His shout immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    At this moment, all of the onlookers no longer paid attention to the two people fighting and instead turned their gazes towards Lin Tian and the others.


    It was unknown if it was an illusion or what, but Lin Tian felt that within the eyes of those people looking at them, there was a trace of ridicule. Of course, there was also a trace of a gaze that seemed like they were looking at prey.


    Although it was his first time in the Northern Courtyard, Lin Tian still felt it. This Northern Courtyard seemed to be slightly different from what he had imagined, and also, after walking only a few steps, he already felt that the Northern Courtyard seemed to be giving off a weird feeling.


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve seen a newbie. Looking at the expressions on these rookies today, I really do feel nostalgic ¡­" One of them looked at Lin Tian and the others, then licked his lips and said.


    "That''s right, looks like I won''t be lonely for the rest of the time ¡­" The other person nodded in agreement.


    "Oh, there''s also a female student. Not bad, not bad, this is more fun. Let me say this first. That female student is mine, you all are not allowed to fight with me for her!" At this moment, in the crowd, an extremely wretched looking student suddenly laughed lewdly.


    His gaze was fixated on Gu Yan''er, who was beside Lin Tian, and did not shift his gaze.


    "Pervert Yang, such a beautiful junior sister, she will naturally belong to whoever is stronger than you, so why should it be yours?" A young master dressed in jade clothes suddenly spoke up from the side.


    "What, Ji Chunxue, you want to fight with me?" That wretched man who was called Yang Pervert immediately became furious.


    "So what if I fight with you? Who do you think you are?" The young master dressed in silk, Ji Chunxue, snorted coldly and replied disdainfully.


    "I don''t think you''ve died before!" Yang perverted wolf could not resist any longer and immediately took action. Monstrous Yuan Power gathered to form a gigantic palm imprint as it instantly charged towards Ji Chunxue.


    "I''m not afraid of you!" Ji Chunxue was merciless as well, erupting with elemental energy from his body.


    At this moment, Lin Tian and the rest of the people around him felt their hearts tremble slightly. They never would have thought that the two of them would fight so hard just for a single sentence. Moreover, the power the two of them were using were both Origin Energy, able to convert Origin Energy into Origin Energy, which could only be done by an Aurous Core stage expert.

 C169

    Within the blink of an eye, the two of them had already exchanged dozens of blows. However, the strength of the two of them should not be too different, therefore, even after dozens of punches, there was still no clear victor. Perhaps the two of them were more clear about this and decided to stop.


    The two of them retreated explosively. The next moment, they pounced toward Gu Yan Er.


    Lin Tian was just about to attack, but Shangguan Tu in front of them attacked first.


    "Bang bang!" The moment Shangguan Tu made his move, a violent and ferocious power exploded out in an instant. Then, it charged crazily towards the two men.


    However, it was too late for them to retaliate now. They subconsciously used their palms to block it, but even so, the force of Shangguan Tu''s palm still numbed their palms. The two of them had to retreat dozens of steps before they managed to stabilize themselves.


    "Butcher, you!" Ji Chunxue''s expression was extremely unsightly.


    "Ji Chunxue, join hands with me and kill him!" The face of that perverted Yang Lang was also incomparably ugly.


    "These new students have just arrived, I advise you not to touch President Li''s bad luck. Otherwise, if you die without knowing how, I will take them to see Dean Li first. When I finish my mission, whatever you want from me, I don''t care. But if you want to make a move against them now, I don''t mind killing you both!" Shangguan Tu started to explain at first, but when he finished, his words were like ice.


    "Alright, I, Ji Chunxue, will give you, the butcher, some face..." Ji Chunxue, who had been pushed back by the butcher''s move, felt embarrassed. He decided not to stay any longer and turned to leave.


    "Little girl, I will come back for you!" Yang Mo also left this place. However, before he left, he smiled obscenely at Gu Yan''er.


    Gu Yan''er had a look of disgust on her face. She did not expect that the legendary Northern Courtyard would actually be like this. Even the students recruited by the Northern Courtyard were like this.


    The others were also shocked.


    As for the onlookers, they seemed as if they were not done watching the show as they stared unwaveringly at Lin Tian''s group.


    "Tsk tsk, rookies. These are all rookies. We won''t be lonely for the rest of the time ¡­"


    "Finally, there is someone who can help me with my quest and even help me wash my underwear ¡­"


    "I can make another small fortune now ¡­"


    Everyone said with incomparable sighs of emotion, not avoiding Lin Tian and the others at all.


    Hearing this, Lin Tian Deng seemed to have thought of something, but in the end, his face didn''t show any abnormalities.


    Shangguan Tu also smiled faintly and led the rest on.


    "I know that you guys have questions, go ahead, newbies ¡­" Along the way, Shangguan Tu had actually taken the initiative to speak.


    "Senior Shangguan, can the students in the Northern Courtyard also kill each other?" Gu Yan Er finally could not resist asking. This was her first question.


    "Hmm?" Shangguan Tu smiled in surprise, then turned to look at Gu Yan''er. "Little girl, it seems that you''re a flower that grew up in a greenhouse ¡­"


    "Please give me your guidance, senior." Gu Yan''er said sweetly.


    "I can''t give you any pointers. In the Northern Courtyard, only coaches can give you pointers. On the contrary, I can tell you about the rules of the Northern Courtyard." Shangguan Tu smiled.


    At this moment, everyone''s interest was piqued. They pricked up their ears, wanting to know the rules of the Northern Courtyard.


    "The rules of the Northern Courtyard are actually the rules of the Sky Dragon Continent, the rules between martial arts cultivators." Shangguan Tu smiled faintly. The scar on his face up to this point made him seem even more ferocious and terrifying.


    He pointed to his scar and said, "It is the best explanation. In the Northern Courtyard, the strong are the rules. The strong have everything, resources, women, magic treasures, secret manuals, everything. The strong have everything."


    "As long as you''re strong enough, even if you don''t, you can obtain it through plundering." When Shangguan Tu said this, he swept his eyes over the crowd slightly and found that everyone had different expressions except for the teenager who didn''t change his expression.


    "Then we are newcomers, how can we fight against an expert like you, Senior Brother Shangguan?" At this moment, a student finally could not hold it in and asked.


    "Newbie?" The strong are the rules, the weak are the original sin. You are weak, and even if you die, no one will question you, but if you are strong, no matter how many students you kill, no one will find trouble for you. "


    "The rules of the Northern Courtyard are blood, battle, and slaughter!" Shangguan Tu''s eyes were filled with fervor as he spoke.


    "Huh?" When Shangguan Tu said this, the other students beside Lin Tian were stunned. None of them thought that this was the legendary Azure Province school?


    If the Northern Courtyard was like this, what would the Eastern Courtyard be like?


    "However, you can rest assured. You newcomers, before next year''s Spring Festival Gala, no one will deal a fatal blow to you. However, once the tournament is over, it will be different. You may face life-threatening danger at any time." Shangguan Tu comforted them, "But I''m afraid you won''t be able to keep the things you''re carrying. I also know that all of you have just passed the three rounds of selection at the headquarters of the Azure Province, and have more or less received rewards. Take these things out, you can''t keep them yourselves, if you resist, you might get a beating, it''s not worth it ¡­"


    As he spoke, Shangguan Tu''s face was also full of greed.


    When I deliver you to President Li, my mission will be completed and you will be official disciples of the Northern Courtyard. When that time comes, I hope you don''t resist and leave the thing obediently to me, I will see that you all call me Senior Brother Shangguan and don''t make things difficult for you guys. However, if you all refuse face and refuse the offer, then don''t blame Senior Brother Shangguan, your subordinates won''t be merciful ¡­


    At this point, everyone immediately understood Shangguan Tu''s intention.


    When this Senior Martial Brother Shangguan made his move just now, the crowd had also seen how Ji Chunxue and that pervert Yang, who were both Golden Core Realm experts, were pushed back with just one palm from Senior Martial Brother Shangguan. From this, it could be seen that this Senior Martial Brother Shangguan was much stronger than Ji Chunxue and that perverted Yang Lang.


    In their group, the strongest was Lin Tian''s seventh level Qi Hai warrior.


    But even if Lin Tian''s strength was incomparable, he might not even be able to protect himself. If this Jindan Stage senior brother Shangguan really attacked them, the crowd really wouldn''t have any methods to do anything.

 C170

    After saying that, everyone''s faces became even more unsightly. Some of them even began to whisper to each other in an attempt to hold each other together.


    Shangguan Tu had seen everyone''s expression, but he did not reveal it. He remembered that a long time ago, there were new students who had done this, but afterwards, none of them seemed to have been left unscathed.


    The tradition of the North District was to respect the strong. This was also the rule of the entire Sky Dragon Continent.


    All the cultivators on the Sky Dragon Continent respected the strong, and the weak could only live by their own rules. For hundreds of millions of years, the rules had never changed.


    This rule of the Northern Courtyard was thoroughly set in motion. Although the strength of the Northern Courtyard was weak overall, all its students were bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty.


    The allocation of resources and the training of these students were all done by themselves. The Northern Courtyard encouraged the plundering of other people''s resources because only when the environment was plundering and killing, could the students of the Northern Courtyard sense the sense of danger and constantly work hard, because if they did not work hard, it would be difficult for them to become the target of plundering. Once they were plundered of their resources, they could only be constantly exploited until their strength regressed and they were driven out of the Northern Courtyard.


    Therefore, all the students of the Northern Courtyard were incomparably valiant. Everyone knew that if one wanted to establish a foothold in the Northern Courtyard, one must be ruthless and must become strong!


    Before long, Shangguan Tu brought many students and arrived directly in front of the so-called Dean Li''s room.


    On the west side of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was a flat piece of land. The building here was not much different from an ordinary academy. It was a martial arts training ground with rows upon rows of rooms ¡­


    These were all the same as the Sky Dragon Academy that Lin Tian was in before.


    "President Li, I''ve brought everyone here." Shangguan Tu stopped in front of Principal Li''s door, lightly knocked, and said this.


    "Got it, you can go now. Don''t forget to go to the Missions Pavilion and collect 100 contribution points. This will be your reward for receiving them." An old voice came from inside.


    "Thank you, Dean." Shangguan Tu thanked him happily and left the place. However, when Shangguan Tu left this place, he gave the crowd a meaningful look.


    The crowd''s heart immediately sank. They understood Shangguan Tu''s intention. Shangguan Tu had come back after they officially became the Northern Courtyard students, and had plundered all the resources they had gotten from the Qingzhou Regional Academy.


    "Come in. What are you all standing outside for?" After Shangguan Tu left, an old voice came from inside the door once again. That voice sounded kind of benevolent.


    Without hesitation, everyone entered the room.


    This time, besides Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng, there were also nine fourth and five third grade students who had entered the Northern Courtyard.


    There were a total of eighteen students, and this was the first time in so many years that the Northern Courtyard had recruited so many students.


    The room was not considered to be big. After the eighteen students entered, the room was actually filled to the brim.


    "Noobs, welcome to the Northern Courtyard." At this moment, the white-haired old man in the room suddenly smiled and said to everyone.


    Lin Tian''s soul force was incomparably strong, he could vaguely sense that this old man should be at the end of his lifespan, but his strength, just from his aura, was not inferior to the Principal of the Northern Courtyard Yang Qingtian.


    In other words, he was an expert at the ninth level of the Milky Way.


    However, Yang Qingtian was at the prime of his life, and he still had endless potential in the future. His lifespan was still very long, but this old man was already at the end of his years, and didn''t have the potential to break through again.


    I am Li Feng, the Vice Principal of the Northern Courtyard. I am also the first instructor responsible for introducing the Northern Courtyard to you, as well as the one who officially accepted you into the Northern Courtyard. Li Feng introduced to the crowd.


    Then, his gaze suddenly turned towards Lin Tian and the others: "The few of you should be the Hidden Dragon Institute''s students that we received this time. However, I seem to have heard that a Heaven''s Pride student was recruited today. I wonder who the so-called Heaven''s Pride student is?" Li Feng asked again.


    "This disciple is the Heaven''s Pride student." When Lin Tian heard this question, he immediately stood up and said to Li Feng in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.


    "Oh, what is it called?" Li Feng had an incomparably benevolent expression.


    "Lin Tian." Lin Tian replied again.


    "Mm. Alright." Li Feng smiled lightly, then asked, "I heard that in the three rounds of the selection, because of your strength and exceptional performance, you were selected as one of the top contestants on the Proclamation of Azure Sky?"


    "He barely made it into the top 83." Lin Tian shook his head, as if he was not satisfied with this ranking.


    "Hm." Li Feng laughed once again and praised, "Not bad, not bad. Not bad, not bad at all. Not proud at all. He''s a good sapling."


    "However ¡ª ¡ª" Li Feng had just finished praising Lin Tian, but immediately after, he changed the topic and said: "Since it''s so powerful and it''s even an expert on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, it''s too low-key, it''s inappropriate ¡­ ¡­"


    "What do you want?" Lin Tian Deng seemed to have realized something and hastily asked.


    But just as he asked, Li Feng had already completed the actions of his own hand.


    Just now, when Lin Tian felt something wasn''t right, Li Feng had already started his own movement.


    He was drawing something on a command medallion. When Lin Tian asked the question, he had already stopped the movements of his hands.


    Li Feng lightly smiled and said, "You''re too low-key. In our Northern Courtyard, the strong need to keep a high profile. I''m just helping you keep a high profile."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s pupils emitted a cold light. Although he didn''t know what Li Feng had done, it was definitely not a good thing.


    "Come, here are your respective tokens. After arriving at the Northern Courtyard, remember, you can reject anything and throw away anything. However, this token is the only thing that you cannot throw away." I''ll tell you the use of this token. Firstly, this token is a symbol of status, and having this token means that you are a student of the Northern Courtyard, not an outsider, which is why you can stay in the Northern Courtyard. Secondly, this token can transmit messages and notifications, and there is a special array formation behind it.


    Other than that, there is another important function, this token has the ability to record contribution points. My Northern Academy does not feed trash, and the resources are all prepared for those who are useful, so if you want to prove yourself useful, you have to contribute to the Northern Academy. Beside the training field, there is a mission pavilion, which is the place where my Northern Academy publishes missions. Li Feng explained to the crowd.


    "Hmm?" After Lin Tian received the token, he suddenly felt that something wasn''t right. He suddenly understood what Li Feng meant by letting him have a high profile.


    This old thing killed me! This was Lin Tian''s first thought.

 C171

    It turned out that the function of this token was indeed to transmit information. There was no mistake at all.


    But just now, this old thing had already sent out a message. It was none other than the news that Lin Tian had just told him.


    Li Feng said that a genius student from the Northern Courtyard called Lin Tian. This person was the first place student from the Azure Province Academy this year, and also entered the top rank 83 on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Not only that, but according to the news, Lin Tian also had endless resources that would only be available when he was first place, and his strength was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Lin Tian suddenly understood what Li Feng meant when he said he wanted him to be a bit more high-profile.


    He was trying to force him onto a path to death.


    Lin Tian had previously heard Shangguan Tu speak about it. Now, hearing Li Feng speak about the rules of the Northern Courtyard, it could be said that he understood it all.


    There was no reason for him to come to the Northern Courtyard. Fist was the biggest reason here.


    Between the students, they were allowed to plunder as much resources as they wanted. As long as they were strong enough, there wouldn''t be any problems and no one would care.


    Currently, the news of Li Feng had undoubtedly put Lin Tian on the fire rack. Putting aside everything else, just the Spirit Stones he got from the Azure Province would cause a large portion of the people to covet it.


    This was not the most crucial point. The most crucial point was still the matter of him entering the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky was a ranking list of the disciples of the Azure Province Academy, and it only included the hundred most powerful students of the four academies.


    Many of these hundred students were the perverse students of the four major academies, and due to the fact that the Northern Courtyard was rather weak, the number of students who had entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky could be counted on one hand. One had to know that many of the genius experts in the Northern Courtyard were all above the Aurous Core stage, and he, a seventh level Qi Hai warrior, had actually entered the top one hundred of the Proclamation of Azure Sky as a new student.


    It was obvious what those students were thinking.


    It was a large tree that attracted wind. Once this news was spread, Lin Tian could forget about living a peaceful life in the future. Those that came to challenge him and plunder the resources in his possession would definitely be countless.


    Lin Tian had indeed become famous just because he was ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    He was already famous.


    At the same time, Shangguan Tu, who was currently in the Mission Pavilion, also saw the message on his badge.


    "Lin Tian? "It''s actually the first place of the Qingzhou School''s enrollment competition?" Shangguan Tu was surprised: "I didn''t notice, but since he is the leader, I think he must have a lot of resources in his hands. Not bad, since I stole the resources from him, I don''t need to worry about the cultivation resources for a period of time ¡­"


    "Hmm?" But when Shangguan Tu saw what was behind them, the smile on his face became even weirder. "He actually entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky?" Is there a mistake? "


    Shangguan Tu thought he was mistaken, but he rubbed his eyes and looked again. He realized that he wasn''t mistaken. That student called Lin Tian was indeed ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky!


    "Interesting, to be able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky with just the strength of a mere seventh level Qi Hai warrior, it seems like this Lin Tian is definitely capable. However, this is the reward for coming here, the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­" Shangguan Tu''s gaze suddenly became gloomy: "Maybe those few evildoers in the inner courtyard will also come out to look for trouble with Lin Tian. It seems that there are a few evildoers that are only ranked around 90th ¡­"


    At this moment, the monsters mentioned by Shangguan Tu in the Northern Courtyard had also received this piece of news.


    Not only the Northern Courtyard, but the four branch academies were separated into the outer and inner division.


    The so-called inner courtyard was actually a school of potential, a place where all the students of the outer courtyard were outstanding. They had the strength to challenge the Proclamation of Azure Sky, or they could even be considered a genius already on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Their strength determined their status. They already possessed a lot of resources, so they disdained robbing new students. They did not need to complete missions, earn contribution points, or obtain resources. They themselves had endless resources.


    The Azure Province Headquarters had a portion of the resources that were specifically given to the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Their daily task was very simple: to train, to train, and to constantly train.


    And then he would participate in the Proclamation of Azure Sky, or he would challenge the experts on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, obtain a higher ranking, and obtain more resources.


    Because those monsters cultivated all day, they were called the students of the inner courtyard.


    The rest were no different from those so called students of the outer courtyard. However, the division of the inner and outer courtyard was not the official division, but the names of the students themselves.


    After a long time, it was passed down.


    At this moment, in a cave in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, a student suddenly opened his eyes, "Hmm, a seventh level Qi Hai warrior, a new student, can still enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky? Could it be that there is some dark cloud?"


    Not only that, but some of the students in the other caves had also opened their eyes. "A seventh level Qi Hai level student from the Proclamation of Azure Sky is actually ranked at eighty-third? Are you trying to slap our faces?"


    "Lin Tian? "Interesting ¡­"


    It could be said that this was because a piece of news from Li Feng had shocked all the students in the Northern Courtyard.


    At this moment, all the students of the Northern Courtyard knew that there was a person like Lin Tian.


    "New student, seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­" These are the three most critical elements that everyone is discussing and paying attention to.


    "It looks like I can''t stay in seclusion here anymore. Rank 83. Right now, I''m only at rank 97. If I can defeat Lin Tian, wouldn''t I be able to leap up to rank 83?" At this moment, a student fighting a Rank 3 Demonic Beast suddenly became alert. Without any hesitation, that person directly gave up on the Demonic Beast in front of him and quickly returned to the Northern Courtyard.


    Lin Tian could guess that he was being watched, but he had no other choice. Using force to defend, using water to cover the ground, this was the only way.


    Li Feng was beaming as he looked at them, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you don''t have a place to live yet. When you go to the Pavilion of Missions later, find that instructor Zhang Feng and he will take you to where you live. I''ve already said everything I need to know, go ahead!"


    "Thank you, Principal Li." A few students saluted one after another before leaving.


    Lin Tian''s expression was unfriendly as he glanced at Li Feng. After which, he left with Du Feng and the other two.


    "I didn''t expect the academy''s style to be so valiant ¡­" After leaving Li Feng''s room, Fang Xing couldn''t help but sigh.


    Du Feng''s expression was also a bit ugly. The Northern Courtyard being so orderly and elegant was something that they had never thought of before.


    "Since I''m here, I might as well take care of it." Gu Yan''er smiled and looked towards Lin Tian: "What''s more, don''t we still have Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­"


    But after saying that, Gu Yan''er suddenly realized something was wrong: "Right, Lin Tian is famous now. How about the three of us stay away from him?"


    "Agreed." Fang Xing nodded.


    "No objections." Du Feng also replied.


    Lin Tian unhappily glared at the three of them and directly went to the Mission Pavilion. The other two also followed.

 C172

    There were many buildings in the Northern Courtyard, and most of them were built by the mountains. Of course, this was all because the Northern Courtyard was built here for the students to train. It did not have any other purpose, so naturally they did not build any flashy buildings.


    They quickly arrived at the Mission Pavilion beside the Martial Arts Practice Grounds that Li Feng had mentioned.


    The Mission Pavilion could be said to be the best building in the entire Northern Courtyard.


    This was because the Mission Pavilion was at least seven to eight storeys high.


    However, right now, Teacher Zhang Feng was taking a nap and appeared to be very relaxed. At this moment, the other students were also arriving one after another. Finally, one of the students could not help but ask, "Excuse me, are you Instructor Zhang Feng?"


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Teacher Zhang Feng woke up in a daze. He looked at the crowd and said, "Are you here to exchange for pills or to record contribution points?"


    "No, Instructor Zhang, we are new students. Dean Li told us to look for you and you are in charge of finding a place for us to stay ¡­" The student who had spoken before said this with a respectful expression.


    "Oh, newcomer..." At this moment, Zhang Feng seemed to have recovered his composure. With a faint smile, he said, "Well then, let''s go. I will lead you guys there."


    As he spoke, Teacher Zhang Feng stood up and led everyone away.


    Along the way, everyone saw students coming and going. Those students were in a hurry, but when they saw Lin Tian and the others, they were still surprised for a moment. However, soon after, the playfulness in their eyes became denser.


    Naturally, they knew what these students were up to.


    Along the way, everyone was incomparably quiet. Some of the students even had heavy expressions. Of course, they could tell from the expressions of the seniors that there was a hint of greed in their eyes.


    They also knew what they were about to face.


    "Here we are." Here we are. Zhang Feng stopped at an extremely simple and crude place.


    Everyone looked at this place with incomparable astonishment before asking, "This is our residence?"


    "Not bad, new students. It''s already good enough that you have a place to stay. What, are you all still not satisfied?" Zhang Feng narrowed his eyes at the student who asked that question.


    Zhang Feng didn''t say anything else and directly led the others inside.


    This was an extremely simple and crude residence. The entire residence was made of wood, and most importantly, it was open air.


    There was only a wall made of wood. The rest of the walls were no different from those in the wild.


    This was not all, only after everyone had entered did they understand what was meant by simple and crude approach.


    There was no bed in here, only beds made of straw, not to mention bedding or anything else.


    It was inferior to the firewood houses in the inns.


    "Teacher Zhang, are we going to live here?" Another student finally could not hold it in anymore and asked Zhang Feng once again.


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Teacher Zhang Feng also saw through the thoughts of these new students, "This is already pretty good, and this is a residence that was built especially for the new students since we don''t have a place to live. At the beginning, it is traditional in the North District that new students don''t have any place to live, so if you want to live in a good place, you can only endure it."


    "What do you mean?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    "Awesome, when you become old students, you will have a place to stay." Zhang Feng revealed a faint smile as he replied, "On the other side, did you see that?"


    Zhang Feng pointed at the houses on the opposite side and said to the others, "Those are the expulsions of the older students. If you want to live there, you can either become a senior student or defeat the older students."


    "Hmm?" At this moment, everyone''s eyes turned towards the house on the opposite side. The houses on the opposite side looked extremely clean and their residences were abnormally neat and tidy. It formed an extremely clear contrast with this place.


    The Northern Courtyard is a place that relies on strength. If your strengths are strong enough, you can just go up and chase the people that live in it out, and live on your own; it''s completely okay, and we will be very encouraging, but if you don''t have the strength, then you can just obediently stay here and complete the mission in the Mission Pavilion. Then, you can use your contribution points to exchange for a house.


    Zhang Feng revealed a faint smile as he explained.


    "So that''s how it is!" It was almost impossible to chase the seniors out. When Shangguan Tu led them to meet Li Feng, they also saw it with their own eyes, the strength of an old student was only at the Jindan Stage, they were all at the Qi Hai realm, how could they fight against the seniors? They even had to think about how to get rid of those seniors who came to plunder their resources, how could they dare to go up against them, wasn''t that just asking for provocation?


    Alright, feel at ease and stay here. In a while, there will be food for all of you to bring over, and you will have a good rest. From tomorrow onwards, you will officially become members of the Northern Courtyard. Zhang Feng said once again. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.


    "Right, all of you must remember to look at your own tokens. On the tokens, there will be a message being sent. If you miss an important matter because you did not look at the tokens, don''t blame me for not reminding you ¡­" Zhang Feng instructed again before he left.


    Everyone looked at each other and began to choose their seats.


    Although it was rather simple and crude, at least they had a place to settle down. They had been tense for so many days, and now that they were very tired, they naturally wanted to take a good rest.


    But at this moment, Gu Yan''er''s face became troubled: "Lin Tian, I don''t want to live here."


    "Oh." Lin Tian replied.


    "Think of a way, I want to live in a room by myself." Gu Yan''er said again.


    At this moment, Fang Xing and Du Feng were also looking expectantly at Lin Tian.


    The three of them had all chosen the Northern Courtyard because of Lin Tian. They had already unknowingly regarded Lin Tian as the backbone of their group.


    At this time, since such a situation had occurred, they naturally wanted to hear Lin Tian''s meaning.


    "Let''s go and find those old students to have a chat." Lin Tian indifferently shook his head. He hadn''t thought that this time, he would have to wait for those seniors to come find him.


    "Everyone, are you ready to sleep now?" Just as the four of them were about to leave the place to find some old students for a chat, a gloomy voice suddenly came from outside.


    "So what if you''re tired? The seniors from the Northern Courtyard are really considerate." Lin Tian''s face was covered in a cold light as he softly said.

 C173

    At this time, an old student had already arrived outside the door. From the sound of his voice, this old student was actually not an outsider. He was surprisingly Shangguan Tu, who had just received Lin Tian''s group.


    Shangguan Tu was called a butcher by the other students. From this, it could be seen that among the students, Shangguan Tu was also a ruthless person.


    The key point was that everyone had seen Shangguan Tu''s attack. With his attack, he had actually forced back two Golden Core Realm experts with one punch. Presumably, his strength was far from that of an ordinary cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core Realm.


    At that moment, Shangguan Tu had already arrived in front of the crowd. Looking at the stunned crowd in the room, Shangguan Tu lightly smiled and said, "What''s wrong? My junior brothers, you don''t recognize me so quickly?"


    "Yes, yes." A few students quickly greeted him as they observed his words and expressions.


    "En, that''s right. Before we start, let me ask who''s Lin Tian?" Shangguan Tu''s eyes were full of curiosity.


    "..." Everyone was startled, they didn''t know why Shangguan Tu would suddenly ask about Lin Tian''s news.


    But the crowd did not immediately speak. They also knew that Lin Tian was not someone who was easy to mess with. Shangguan Tu coming here in full fury was obviously not a good thing. If they sold Lin Tian now, what would happen to Lin Tian after he settled the score?


    Just as everyone was hesitating, Lin Tian indifferently opened his mouth: "I am Lin Tian. What about it, does Senior Shangguan have any advice?"


    "You are Lin Tian?" Shangguan Tu was slightly startled. He didn''t have a deep impression of Lin Tian and Lin Tian''s strength was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.


    But now that Lin Tian said those words, Shangguan Tu was surprised. This brat''s demeanor was not bad, and under his gaze, he didn''t have the slightest trace of fear, and after he asked that question, he could see worry in the eyes of the crowd. Obviously, they were afraid that Shangguan Tu would look for them, but now, this boy called Lin Tian actually didn''t have the slightest trace of worry in his eyes.


    "Senior, if you have something to say, please say it. If it''s nothing, we still have things to do, we are in a hurry ¡­" Lin Tian coldly said one sentence before pulling Shangguan Tu back from his daze.


    "Oh, interesting. This is the first time in a long time that someone has spoken to me like this." Shangguan Tu became more curious and he couldn''t help laughing out loud: "Since that''s the case, then I can only let go of my business for now ¡­"


    "Junior brother Lin Tian, what urgent matter do you have?" Shangguan Tu smiled faintly and asked again.


    "Looking for a house." Lin Tian''s answer was simple and concise.


    "It''s even more interesting. Do you know that you new students can only live here. If you want to live in those houses, you need to kick out the new students before you can go in?" Shangguan Tu explained patiently.


    "What do you want? If you have anything to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, scram!" Lin Tian also became somewhat impatient.


    "En!" Shangguan Tu''s expression changed immediately. "You actually dared to tell me to scram. Kid, do you know who you''re talking to?!"


    "Laozi is talking to you, laozi told you to scram, what a dog that doesn''t block the way!" Lin Tian''s words were extremely domineering. At the same time, he also suddenly took a step forward. A strong might that contained overflowing Essence instantly pressed towards Shangguan Tu.


    "You still dare to attack me?" No matter how good Shangguan Tu''s temper was, he could not bear it now. Furthermore, Shangguan Tu''s temper was not very good to begin with.


    Boom!" Shangguan Tu rushed forward, and a might even more powerful than Lin Tian''s instantly rushed out of his body and directly collided into the might emitted by Lin Tian''s body. Shangguan Tu rushed forward, and a might even stronger than Lin Tian''s instantly rushed out, and directly collided with the might emitted from Lin Tian''s body.


    As the two of them faced off against each other, it immediately attracted everyone''s attention.


    Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing all retreated as soon as they saw fit.


    "I, Shangguan Tu, am reputed to be the student most likely to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky in the outer court. However, for the past two years, I''ve always been lacking a bit. I haven''t even been able to get on the Proclamation of Azure Sky in the Challenge Competition." Shangguan Tu stared at Lin Tian: "Everyone thought that I was strong and had incomparable glory. In the outer courtyard, I could be considered an expert, but none of them saw the effort I put in. The scars on my face and body are the best proof of my continuous hard work."


    "I''ve tried so hard, yet I still haven''t made it into the Proclamation of Azure Sky. But you''re a new student, and a student at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm ¡­ What makes you qualified to be in the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and you''re still in the 83rd position?"


    At this point, Shangguan Tu''s face started to turn red from excitement. "So, I, Shangguan Tu, am not convinced. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? I, Shangguan Tu, am not convinced!"


    "It doesn''t matter to me whether you admit to it or not. Whether you work hard has nothing to do with me. But since you said that you worked so hard and have yet to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky, then you can only prove one thing ¡­" Lin Tian said without mercy.


    "Prove what?" Shangguan Tu couldn''t help asking.


    "This proves that you are not only stupid, but also stupid. You are simply a pig!" Lin Tian laughed mischievously before replying.


    "Puchi ¡­" Gu Yan''er, who was at the side, couldn''t help but laugh. Before this, she hadn''t realized that Lin Tian was actually so sarcastic!


    The rest of the people also had a trace of joy on their faces.


    "You''re courting death!" At this time, Shangguan Tu''s face became completely dark and fierce. He fiercely threw out a palm, a powerful and heavy fist directly towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dodge. Instead, he went up and also threw a palm towards Shangguan Tu.


    "Bang bang." Shangguan Tu''s palm landed on Lin Tian''s body and it made an extremely clear sound as if jade collided. Lin Tian''s body was not only unharmed, Shangguan Tu could even feel that his fist was slightly numb.


    "What a powerful body!" While Shangguan Tu was lamenting, Lin Tian''s palm had already landed on his body: "Sky Collapsing Palm!"


    Huge amounts of Yuan Power gathered on the palm power. In the next moment, that palm power exploded and also landed on Shangguan Tu''s body.


    Shangguan Tu had just thrown out a palm, he could not react in time, and could only watch helplessly as the fist landed on his body.


    "Bam!" The force of the palm strike caused Shangguan Tu to feel his body go numb. Although this kid was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, his strength was truly terrifying.


    That palm did not seem like the power of a seventh level Qi Hai warrior.


    This was a punch Lin Tian used his own body to exchange for. Lin Tian had an incomparably strong physical body, but Shangguan Tu did not. If this continued, the battle between the two of them would definitely be fought by Shangguan Tu first.

 C174

    When Lin Tian''s fist landed, the remaining trace of superiority in Shangguan Tu''s heart completely disintegrated.


    Shangguan Tu immediately stopped looking down on Lin Tian Xin. It seemed that the kid in front of him, who could rely on his new status, was not completely useless in killing his way into the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Although he only looked like he was at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, the combat power that Lin Tian displayed was far beyond that of the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Thinking to that point, Shangguan Tu did not dare to be careless anymore. He stopped underestimating his enemy and the Origin power on his body was also endlessly surging and condensed into his hands. He was going to use all of his power to deal with Lin Tian.


    "Fist Shock Mountain and River!" This time, Shangguan Tu''s punch contained almost all the Yuan power in his body, and it was also the most powerful attack.


    The monstrous Origin Energy instantly transformed into a giant Origin Energy fist with the might of a fierce tiger descending a mountain with boundless might.


    The fist descended, as if it wanted to kill Lin Tian with one punch!


    Lin Tian naturally did not dare to be slow, but he was not the least bit worried. After that fist just now, he had basically completely grasped the method to defeat Shangguan Tu.


    There was an absolute gap between his strength and Shangguan Tu''s, and that was also Lin Tian''s greatest disadvantage when facing him. So, it was almost impossible to rely on his own strength to defeat Shangguan Tu, but there was one thing: Lin Tian was stronger than him, and that was the strength of the body.


    The physical body of the dragon race was indeed worthy of being the legendary number one in the heavens.


    Although Lin Tian was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm and hadn''t absorbed much of the dragon blood in his body, his physical body had long since surpassed all the other experts of the same realm.


    He did not even lose out to Shangguan Tu.


    That was to say, if Lin Tian wanted to defeat Shangguan Tu, there was only one way, and that was to put more effort into the physical body.


    So, facing Shangguan Tu''s punch, Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly activated the power of the whirlpool in his dantian. His body was like iron as he rushed towards Shangguan Tu.


    He wanted to use the power of his physical body to fight Shangguan Tu head on.


    With a blink, Shangguan Tu''s punch arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s physical body took Shangguan Tu''s punch, and at the same time, the Origin Spirit Thrust that was prepared within his Divine Palace also surged towards Shangguan Tu in an instant.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. When the power formed by the Primordial Spirit Thorn rushed out of the forest, it made such a sound.


    In the next moment, all of the power landed on Shangguan Tu''s body.


    The power of the Primordial Spirit Thorn pierced through Shangguan Tu''s body in the blink of an eye and charged into Shangguan Tu''s Sea of Consciousness.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Shangguan Tu felt his head drop as he let out a gasp.


    Actually, he had felt that something wasn''t right just now, but he didn''t know what power Lin Tian had just used.


    However, only until the power completely landed in his sea of consciousness did Shangguan Tu realize it, but it was already too late.


    The Immortal Soul Thorn attacked Shangguan Tu''s sea of consciousness, causing him to feel a splitting headache. Even the power of that fist strike just now had been greatly reduced when it landed on Lin Tian.


    "Bang bang!" Even though his strength had greatly lost its level, when it landed on Lin Tian''s body, Lin Tian still felt his body go numb and his body also suffered some injuries.


    Lin Tian was indeed unable to shake the strength of a Jindan Stage Martial Cultivator. Although he had killed countless Rank 3 Demonic Beasts before, which was also comparable to a Golden Core Stage Martial Cultivator, that was after all only Demonic Beasts. Lin Tian still felt the difference in strength when he encountered a true Jindan Stage Martial Cultivator.


    However, the current Shangguan Tu had also recovered from his shock. He stared at Lin Tian and involuntarily cried out: "You, you''re a Symbol Master!"


    Shangguan Tu naturally knew Lin Tian''s identity. The power that attacked his soul sea of consciousness just now was definitely a talisman skill. This also proved that Lin Tian was a talisman master.


    "No wonder. No wonder he was able to be ranked on the Proclamation of Azure Sky with his status as a new student. He''s not only a martial cultivator, he''s also a Symbol Master!" Shangguan Tu was still in shock.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian did not reply. At this time, his hand slightly shook and a green light immediately appeared. It was the Dragon Scale Spear.


    A cold light flashed at the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear. Under the infusion of Lin Tian''s Essence, the Dragon Scale Spear shot out like a dragon, thrusting straight towards Shangguan Tu.


    Although Shangguan Tu was surprised, he did not panic. He suddenly shouted and threw another punch over. He broke the spear light on the Dragon Scale Spear with a single palm and tightly held onto the Dragon Scale Spear with both of his hands.


    "Such a good weapon is mine!" A strange light flashed across Shangguan Tu''s eyes when he saw the dragon scale spear.


    In the next moment, he forcefully pulled back: "Let go of me!"


    Lin Tian immediately felt a strong force being transmitted from the Dragon Scale Spear.


    However, his hands were tightly gripping the Dragon Scale Spear. The Essence in his body rushed out and poured into the Dragon Scale Spear.


    The Dragon Scale Spear let out a long cry and the light burst out, blasting away Shangguan Tu''s hand.


    Putting away the Dragon Scale Spear, Lin Tian once again shot out another Immortal Soul Piercing Technique from the Divine Mansion.


    When Shangguan Tu heard that piercing sound, he didn''t dare to be careless again. He had suffered a loss just now, but this time, he channeled his soul force to wrap around his entire body, especially his own head.


    Lin Tian smiled slightly and used the God Transforming Steps at this time. With a flash, he arrived at Shangguan Tu''s side.


    Shangguan Tu sneered as he looked at Lin Tian''s actions, but he was not afraid in the slightest. Lin Tian''s rune attacks were already useless right now. If Lin Tian still dared to approach Shangguan Tu''s body, that would undoubtedly be seeking death.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly shouted: "Freeze!"


    In an instant, Lin Tian''s palm already landed on Shangguan Tu''s body, but this time, the difference was that Lin Tian used his left palm. After Lin Tian yelled out, Shangguan Tu''s body was instantly frozen by layers of thick frost.


    "Un, how could it be..." Before Shangguan Tu could finish his words, thick layers of frost had already formed around his body, completely trapping him.


    No matter how much strength Shangguan Tu used or how much elemental energy he had, he was still unable to escape the shackles of the frost.


    At this moment, he had completely become an ice man.


    Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear shook once again as Essence exploded out, stabbing fiercely into Shangguan Tu''s body.


    With a "Hua la" sound, the ice pillar exploded, but this attack also completely landed on Shangguan Tu''s body. Shangguan Tu''s figure immediately flew backwards, and with a "wa" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale, clearly, this strike had injured Shangguan Tu.


    The injured Shangguan Tu, even if he stood up again, would not be Lin Tian''s opponent.


    "Hand over the key to your room and get out!" Lin Tian used the God Transforming Steps and instantly arrived in front of Shangguan Tu.


    Right now, his Dragon Scale Spear was at Shangguan Tu''s throat as he spoke coldly to Shangguan Tu.

 C175

    Shangguan Tu''s face was ashen. He had actually lost to this kid, and this kid was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. This was hard for Shangguan Tu to accept.


    Actually, in the battle just now, even if Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, Shangguan Tu still had the upper hand. However, he still lost in the end.


    In Lin Tian''s last palm, for some reason, a wave of overwhelming cold power suddenly surged out. This was also the main reason why Shangguan Tu lost.


    It was a pity that Shangguan Tu did not know what the chill that suddenly gushed out was.


    While he was hesitating, Lin Tian''s spear tip suddenly stabbed forward by half an inch. Instantly, Shangguan Tu''s neck was dyed red with blood: "My patience is limited, hurry up, otherwise, my dragon scale spear will not only pierce in by half an inch."


    "I''ll give it, I''ll give it." Shangguan Tu immediately gave in. He took out a bunch of keys from his bosom and gave them to Lin Tian, then said: "Room A, room 8 is my room."


    Lin Tian smiled slightly and accepted the keys.


    He kicked Shangguan Tu flying. At the same time, Lin Tian''s cold voice also came at that time: "Scram. If you want revenge, feel free to do so."


    After being kicked out of the room, Shangguan Tu''s face turned green and white, but he did not say anything in the end.


    This was the rule of the Northern Courtyard.


    At the same time, the news of today''s battle would quickly spread to the entire Northern Courtyard. An old student like Shangguan Tu, who had the title of butcher, had actually lost to a new student, and it was already shameful enough, not to mention that he had been robbed away by a new student.


    This was even more embarrassing. If he did not regain his dignity, he was afraid that he, Shangguan Tu, would no longer have any dignity left in the Northern Courtyard.


    Shangguan Tu left in a hurry. At this moment, no one was watching where the new students were and no one noticed when Shangguan Tu left.


    But at this time, in the wooden house, the other students were all looking at Lin Tian with astonished faces.


    "Is, is his strength really that terrifying?" This was what everyone was thinking at the moment.


    Actually, at that time in the arena battle, everyone already knew that Lin Tian was very strong, but at that time, no one realized how strong Lin Tian was.


    Now they all understood.


    Very, very strong.


    Lin Tian, who was at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, had actually defeated a Jindan Stage cultivator. From this, it could be seen that Lin Tian''s strength was far from what they had imagined.


    "I knew it. You have a way." Gu Yan''er smiled sweetly and then snatched the key from Lin Tian''s hand: "This time, there''s a place to stay. Haha."


    As he said this, just as Gu Yan''er was about to leave, Lin Tian grabbed onto Gu Yan''er.


    "What are you doing?" Gu Yan''er was slightly startled.


    "Friend, since you''ve come and watched such a long show, why haven''t you come out to meet everyone?" Lin Tian did not reply to Gu Yan''er''s words. Instead, he faced a certain direction outside the door and suddenly said.


    "Hmm?" Fang Xing''s brows creased slightly. He was born with a talisman, so he hadn''t sensed anyone outside. Yet, Lin Tian had actually said that there was someone outside?


    But since Lin Tian said there was one, then there must be one.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, a young master dressed in rich clothes walked in. However, the young master''s clothes were currently covered in blood, making it seem as if he had just experienced an extremely intense battle.


    "Are you really a new student?" The young master''s gaze became serious as he stared at Lin Tian.


    "That''s right." Lin Tian replied.


    "My name is Nangong Fan." The young master in embroidered clothes didn''t say anything unnecessary after receiving such an affirmative answer. Instead, he directly revealed his identity.


    "What is it?" Lin Tian''s face revealed a displeased expression.


    "I am the ninety-seventh place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky." Nangong Fan smiled and then looked at Lin Tian with a burning gaze: "Do you know my purpose for coming here?"


    "Challenge me?" Lin Tian was surprised.


    Nangong Fan nodded.


    "That guy also came to challenge me, but now that he has been kicked out by me, you should have come a long time ago, right?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth held a trace of coldness.


    "I saw it." Nangong Fan nodded again.


    "Then you still want to challenge me?" Lin Tian said in astonishment.


    "Shangguan Tu?" Nangong Fan''s gaze was filled with disdain, "It''s just the most shiny piece of trash in the trash. But it can''t hide the fact that he''s still trash ¡­"


    "Being on the Proclamation of Azure Sky and not being on the Proclamation of Azure Sky are two entirely different things. You are an opponent, just that your strength is a bit too weak ¡­" Nangong Fan''s tone was filled with pride and pride in being able to rank on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    "So?"


    "I want to challenge you, but I only came to make an appointment today. I originally wanted to spar with you, but I didn''t expect that the trash Shangguan Tu would ¡­" "That''s why we can only change the date, but you must remember, I was the first to challenge you. In a moment, I am saying that if it is not out of my expectations, there will be more people coming to find you, but they can only wait at the end, because, I was the one who first looked for you ¡­"


    "Alright." Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly agreed.


    "Okay, you should rest well. It''s getting late, I still have a dozen demon beasts that I haven''t killed. I won''t bother you anymore. I hope you can have a good condition to fight me tomorrow." Nangong Fan faintly smiled before turning around and leaving.


    "Alright." Lin Tian nodded his head again.


    Sure enough, not long after.


    People came one after another.


    "Li Qingshan, rank 89 of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, has come to challenge you!"


    "Yang Wang, the 93rd person on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, has come to challenge you!"


    "..."


    Not long after, along with Nangong Fan, seven or eight experts from the Proclamation of Azure Sky had arrived to challenge Lin Tian.


    Of course, these people were all students of the Northern Courtyard who had entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky and were ranked below 83.


    These people were actually the students of the Northern Courtyard. They were also the geniuses among the demonic geniuses of the Northern Courtyard.


    Seven or eight people meant that Lin Tian was going to fight seven or eight battles.


    Furthermore, the people they were facing were all Golden Core Realm experts.


    Lin Tian thought about it and felt his head hurt. Right now he really needed to meditate and cultivate. It had been a long time since he sat down to cultivate, but he still had to deal with these people ¡­


    However, Lin Tian did not think too much about it. Since there was going to be a battle tomorrow, then today, he naturally had to properly cultivate and then have a good rest.


    Lin Tian immediately followed Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing to room eight of room A.

 C176

    The Northern Courtyard had built a separate room for the older students.


    There were rows upon rows of rooms arranged according to the order of A, B, C, and D.


    A room with the number A number was naturally the best.


    Moreover, there was a suite in the room, and it was not just one room. It would not be a problem for Lin Tian and the other two to stay there.


    Lin Tian didn''t say much and directly went to his room. He sat cross-legged and began cultivating.


    He had been stuck at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm for quite some time now.


    After passing the Green Province''s exam grounds and the arena battle, Lin Tian experienced one battle after another.


    He had long since reached the critical point, but Lin Tian intentionally suppressed his own cultivation speed, so he had never broken through.


    But now, the situation had changed. It was time to break through to a higher realm.


    He took out everything in his storage ring. In his storage ring, besides spirit stones, there were also spirit stones, the spirit stones he had sold those Rank Three demon beasts in the Clear Pavilion, as well as the spirit stones that Hua Ruyi had given him before she left. Right now, there were over ten thousand high grade spirit stones and several dozen low grade spirit crystals in Lin Tian''s hand.


    These would become the most important things he could rely on to break through.


    He silently circulated his whirlpool of Dantian and started to devour the spiritual power within the spiritual stone.


    In just a few moments, the Spirit Stones were quickly reduced to dust at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Spiritual Energy was like a small stream as it was swallowed by Lin Tian into his body, turning into pure Essence Qi that he stored in his Dantian.


    At the same time, his whirlpool of Dantian was also undergoing a slight change.


    The cultivation realms of the Heavenly Dragon Continent''s mountains were divided into four major realms: Qi Cultivation, Qi Sea, Jindan, and Xinghe.


    Qi Cultivation was the process of sensing and absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, transforming it into the Yuan Qi that a warrior needed. Once the Yuan Qi was comprehended, one would be able to reach the Mortal Realm.


    When his dantian stored enough Essence, it would be able to form a Qi Sea in his dantian, which was also known as the Essence Sea.


    If the Essence Sea was not exhausted, it could provide endless amounts of Essence support to Martial Cultivators.


    When the primeval sea reaches a certain degree, it can form the aurous core.


    At this moment, the elemental energy within a cultivator''s body would be converted into a substantial amount of energy ¡ª elemental energy.


    Elemental energy was much more powerful than elemental energy, and it was also much more powerful.


    Therefore, after reaching the Aurous Core stage, the strength and lifespan of a martial cultivator would greatly increase.


    It could be said that after reaching the Aurous Core Stage, martial arts cultivators could be considered as having the ability to settle down on the path of martial arts. They could also be considered as experts.


    To form the golden core, one needed to be at least at the Qi Hai realm!


    The Qi Sea was huge enough to condense the Yuan Qi. It would be more convenient to condense the aurous core. Moreover, an expert who broke through to the Aurous Core stage would also be much stronger.


    In other words, the more solid the foundation, the easier the road ahead would be.


    What Lin Tian needed to do now was to continuously fill his own aura sea.


    The spirit stones quickly disappeared and turned into pure Yuan Power that was stored in Lin Tian''s body. It slowly accumulated in the Dan Tian whirlpool, causing the Qi Sea in the Dan Tian whirlpool to continuously expand and expand.


    However, the process was extremely slow because Lin Tian''s dantian wasn''t a human''s dantian, but a dragon''s dantian.


    The dragon race''s body was incomparably large, and the dragon race cultivated their ''essence, energy, divine, and body'' together. This was also why Lin Tian had never practiced the body forging technique alone, but the strength of his body was no weaker than a martial cultivator who had started to temper his own body since he was young. As he continuously cultivated, his soul, vitality, and body constantly grew stronger.


    Because of this, the amount of Spiritual Energy he needed to break through far exceeded that of ordinary people.


    Not long after, Lin Tian had already absorbed over a thousand high grade spirit stones. The Qi Sea in his dantian was also rapidly expanding, but during this process, he had no intentions of breaking through.


    After an unknown amount of time, when the spirit stones in front of Lin Tian had turned into a thick pile of dust, Lin Tian finally stopped his cultivation. The spiritual energy around his body turned into many long dragons and crazily rushed into Lin Tian''s body.


    After a while, it went through the whirlpool''s dantian and became Essence Qi. It stored it in Lin Tian''s body again.


    Not only that, the strands of spiritual energy even rushed into Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and were absorbed by the Divine Palace''s soul.


    Inside the Divine Manor, Lin Tian''s tiny soul was becoming more and more corporeal. The Ancient Dragon Rune on his forehead was also currently flashing with a strange light.


    It was unknown how much time had passed after this change.


    Lin Tian suddenly spat out a mouthful of white mist. His body seemed to be emitting a faint draconic roar.


    "Moo!"


    At this time, Lin Tian also opened his eyes. Within his eyes, a strange light suddenly flashed. His strength had increased greatly and his body suddenly shook. The filth on his body was also forced out of his body by Lin Tian, emitting an extremely fishy smell.


    Lin Tian smiled slightly and said: "Eighth level of the Qi Hai realm ¡­ ¡­"


    He sat down cross-legged again and began to absorb the spirit stones in front of him. Just now, when he broke through to the first level, he had used almost three thousand high-grade spirit stones, but this was still not enough for Lin Tian. He had already reached the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, and it was still far from enough.


    It was also at this moment that the whirlpool in Lin Tian''s dantian was also quietly changing.


    The Qi Sea that was originally large to a certain extent, like a vast ocean, actually started to quietly condense again.


    Lin Tian naturally knew what it was.


    This was the sign that he was about to form the golden core.


    The ninth level of the Qi Hai realm was about to condense the golden core ¡­ However, the golden core in his body was only an embryo, not a real golden core.


    Once a true Jindan was formed, that meant that the person had become a Jindan Stage expert.


    Lin Tian continued to devour the spirit stones in front of him. However, currently with the strange change in Lin Tian''s body, the speed at which he devoured spirit stones had increased by a dozen times.


    Spirit stones quickly turned into dust one by one, and the Spiritual Energy rushed into Lin Tian''s body in an unending stream.


    After a long time, the Qi Sea in the swirl''s dantian completely compressed into the appearance of a golden core.


    However, the current Jindan was too dim and its power was not too strong.


    He could only rely on his spirit stones to continuously supply Spirit Stones to condense the aurous core.

 C177

    After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian finally opened his eyes.


    However, the spirit stones in front of him had already been completely used up.


    Now, only a pile of dust was left in front of him.


    He was about to break through again. Just now, he had broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, but now with his spiritual energy filling his body, it seemed that he was about to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm again.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to be careless. With so many spirit stones, this was definitely a huge opportunity for him to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm in a single go.


    As such, after Lin Tian broke through to the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm, he did not choose to stop. Instead, he continued to cultivate.


    Of course, there was also another reason. Tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Tian would face match after match.


    A Jindan Stage expert was a little difficult to deal with when facing a seventh level Qi Hai warrior like Lin Tian. However, a ninth level Qi Hai warrior was much easier to deal with.


    Within Lin Tian''s whirlpool in his dantian, there was an irregular looking Jindan. At this time, the Spiritual Energy that the Spirit Stones had transformed into was crazily washing away the irregular Jindan.


    This was the sign that he was about to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm. Once the aurous core was formed and reformed, the aurous core would produce endless amounts of Yuan Power.


    Not long after, Lin Tian once again opened his eyes.


    He exhaled a breath of white air and said softly, "Finally, I''ve broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm ¡­"


    Ninth level of the Qi Hai realm. Lin Tian''s Yuan Qi had increased tremendously. Not only that, his strength had also increased tremendously.


    But as Lin Tian looked at the pile of dust in front of him, he was a bit stunned. He never thought that he would need such a huge amount of spiritual energy to continuously break through two levels.


    The spiritual power contained in high-grade spirit stones were already very pure, but he had to spend more than ten thousand spirit stones to break through to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm. His body was now like a bottomless pit.


    "Tsk, useless brat." At this moment, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace mocked and then said, "Brat, can you be a bit more promising ¡­"


    Your body, soul, and strength are all the energies of our Dragon race. You have to know, the strength of the dragon race is number one in all the heavens, and your current cultivation is not just a simple breakthrough in the origin energy, but a complete breakthrough in all aspects. The strength of your body and your soul, are also constantly breaking through when you reach a breakthrough in your strength! Horned Demon said in a bad mood.


    "Back then when the Dragon Clan was cultivating, they swallowed a spiritual vein in one go without feeling any pain. Now, after looking at you, you seem to have wasted a lot of resources just because you used over ten thousand spiritual stones ¡­" Horned Demon continued to teach Lin Tian a lesson: "The power of the strong rely on devouring resources. They grow by plundering resources. Cultivating is plundering. Without resources, we can just plunder."


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian was shocked by Horned Demon''s domineering words.


    Cultivation was a plundering, and what he said was correct.


    Didn''t the rules of the Northern Courtyard mean that the strong possessed everything?


    However, this also implied the Heavenly Dao Laws. There was nothing wrong with the survival of the fittest.


    It''s not easy to form a dragon''s golden core. You will need twice as many spirit stones as you currently have to break through, so you don''t have enough spirit stones, so you should stop for now. Wait until you have a chance to condense your golden core, otherwise, if you don''t condense your golden core well, there will be a lot of barriers to your future cultivation. Horned Demon felt Lin Tian''s current strength and then indifferently said.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head and did not continue cultivating. This time, he broke through two stages consecutively and had already consumed over ten thousand spirit stones. However, he still had over thirty thousand spirit stones.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly wanted to put it into his storage ring, but after hesitating for a bit, his soul moved and a stone tablet suddenly appeared in his Divine Manor.


    That monolith was something he had obtained in front of Xiao Kuangge''s grave. From what Xiao Kuangge had said, what sort of space was it?


    If he were to use this to store the spirit stones, he wouldn''t need the storage ring anymore.


    His spiritual will slightly moved and a golden light suddenly exploded out from the stone tablet. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body entered the stone tablet.


    Within the stone monument, there was a corpse.


    It was the other treasure that Xiao Kuangge had left him, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse!


    Seeing this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something. Back then, Xiao Kuangge had even passed down the technique to control the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    With a thought, he recalled the technique that was sealed in his mind.


    "Great Puppet Technique!" Lin Tian softly read out the name of the technique.


    It sounded like an overbearing spell.


    "Cultivating puppet techniques requires the soul''s power. If the soul is not powerful, then it is absolutely forbidden to cultivate it. Otherwise, if you suffer a backlash from the puppet, it would go against the original intent of the technique." The mnemonic chant was a taboo. The Great Puppet Technique required a person with strong soul power to be able to cultivate it.


    However, this little bit of taboo, to Lin Tian, wasn''t a problem at all.


    Lin Tian was a Symbol Master to begin with, so he needed to continuously cultivate his soul.


    Moreover, his Spirit power already far surpassed ordinary people. To Lin Tian, the Great Puppet Technique''s taboo was not a problem at all.


    The first half was all about refining puppets, which was unnecessary for Lin Tian. Lin Tian also did not have any intentions of refining puppets, the main reason was because the method to refine puppets was too complicated, and no matter how much preparation there was, Lin Tian did not have the time.


    He immediately looked through the manipulation method at the back.


    "Earth Fiend Yin Corpses, take the body of a martial artist that is on the verge of death, raise a Magus Gu, place it in your mouth, in the best location of Yin Qi, refine your body, the more Yin Qi there is, the faster the growth of Yin Corpses will be. A hundred year old Yin Corpse, its strength is comparable to a Golden Core Realm martial artist, a thousand year old Yin Corpse, its strength is comparable to a Life and Death Realm martial artist!" A Yin Corpse reaching the King''s Realm could be called a Yin King. At this moment, the Yin Qi in my body has been converted into Earth Terminus Cold Qi. It is extremely terrifying. I am invincible in the same realm! "


    This was the description of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse from the Great Puppet Technique.


    There were ninety-nine different types of golems recorded within the Grand Puppet Technique.


    They were divided into the Upper Nine, Middle Nine, Lower Nine. Each grade had twenty-seven different puppets. The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse that Lin Tian had was one of the top nine puppets.


    Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse that Lin Tian had was a thousand year old Yin Corpse, because at this time, a thousand years had already passed since Xiao Kuangge passed away. In these thousand years, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse constantly trained in the Qing Zhou Academy''s cemetery.


    That was the Life and Death Realm! And he was even above the Star River Realm!


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel ecstatic in his heart: "I''m rich, rich!"


    Xiao Kuangge''s thousand years of hard work had all benefited Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and continued to look at the large puppet technique, but the method to use it caused Lin Tian Deng''s heart to chill by half.


    The upper echelons were simple, crude, and were powered by spirit stones.


    Ten thousand high grade spirit stones was enough for the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse to use its full strength.


    One strike, ten thousand high grade spirit stones!


    Lin Tian suddenly realized that he himself was in need of spirit stones.

 C178

    But Lin Tian also knew, there was no need to use Earth Fiend Yin Corpses, all the enemies he met could be dealt with by himself, if he met an enemy that he could not deal with, ten thousand Spirit Stones would be equivalent to exchanging for his own life.


    Without thinking too much, Lin Tian threw all the spirit stones into the stone monument.


    The stone tablet was currently ownerless, and Lin Tian''s soul had already firmly controlled the power of the stone tablet.


    With a single thought, he could enter the stone stele''s space at any time.


    Moreover, the key point was that this stone tablet was right in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, hiding within his body. There was no need to worry about being robbed, even if Lin Tian died, the stone tablet would directly shatter, and it would no longer exist.


    As for the items in the stone stele, they would completely disappear after the stone stele shattered.


    Other than these two things, Lin Tian did not have anything else. After this breakthrough, his soul had condensed quite a bit. Presumably, not long after, he would be able to advance in the Symbol Dao and become a Soul Symbol Master from a Superior Grade Symbol Master.


    After Lin Tian broke through two realms, the sky was already bright. Unknowingly, Lin Tian had already cultivated for an entire night.


    Today was the day that Lin Tian would have to face a large wave of challengers.


    The first person he had to face was Nangong Fan.


    He made an agreement with Nangong Fan that they would fight in the morning at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.


    In the early morning, the martial arts practice field had the most people. Beating down a student who was ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky in front of everyone right now, it could be said that he, Lin Tian, was not worthy of being ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    However, this was what Lin Tian wanted. Lin Tian already knew that the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky were all students of the inner courtyard. The most important thing was that all the experts on the Proclamation of Azure Sky had their own cave dwelling.


    The Northern Courtyard had opened up many caves in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky to use.


    In these caves, there were array glyphs set up by powerful Symbol Masters from the Azure Province Academy to condense the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Cultivating in that cave was equivalent to having a continuous supply of Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones.


    Of course, this was what the current Lin Tian needed the most.


    If he defeated Nangong Fan, he would be able to occupy Nangong Fan''s cave. After all, even though Lin Tian was a student on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, since he had just arrived, the Northern Courtyard would not be able to give him a cave. After all, building a cave wasn''t as simple as they thought.


    There were so many caves in the Northern Courtyard, one radish for each hole. If he wanted to occupy that pit, he would have to pull out the radish from the hole.


    Nangong Fan, the person who had delivered himself to their doorstep, was the best candidate for this.


    Of course, other than Nangong Fan, many other students had come to challenge Lin Tian. Those students were ranked below Lin Tian. This way, perhaps the caves of Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, and Fang Xing would have a place to stay.


    For the dwelling, Lin Tian also had to go all out!


    Lin Tian did not think too much and instead sat cross-legged with his eyes closed to recuperate for a moment. Afterwards, he directly went to the training grounds of the Northern Courtyard.


    At this moment, a large number of students were gathered at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.


    This was because there were countless practice rooms around the training grounds.


    The so-called training room was actually the training room after the increase in gravity. It was the best place to build up one''s physical body and build up one''s foundation.


    The other was to hunt demon beasts, complete missions, and obtain contribution points. The Northern Courtyard did not raise idle people, did not complete missions, and not only could they not obtain any cultivation resources, they even had the danger of being expelled from the Northern Courtyard.


    Thirdly, there would be battles. The Northern Courtyard would often organize competitions to test the fighting strength of the students. In addition, all sorts of battles would erupt when they plundered cultivation resources.


    It could be said that the training of the Northern Courtyard had an extremely strong battle atmosphere. It was even close to savagery and violence.


    At this moment, Nangong Fan was already waiting for him on the martial arts practice field.


    Many students of the Northern Courtyard knew of Nangong Fan''s name. After all, he was one of the few students of the Inner Academy.


    However, everyone was extremely curious about the reason why Nangong Fan had stood there so early in the morning.


    It had to be known that these students usually closed up in their caves to complete their missions. However, Nangong Fan had come to the Martial Arts Practice Grounds. From his appearance, could it be that he was waiting for someone?


    Nangong Fan didn''t pay attention to the crowd''s astonished gazes. It was only when Lin Tian arrived and stood in front of him that Nangong Fan slowly opened his eyes: "You''re late."


    "..."


    "You broke through?" Nangong Fan felt the aura in Lin Tian''s body, and then said with some surprise: "He even broke through two levels? "In just one night?"


    Yesterday, when Nangong Fan sensed Lin Tian''s aura, he was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. However, he had already reached the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm this morning.


    "It seems that you are not completely useless. You are even more powerful than I imagined." "However, this is still not enough for me. Even if you broke through to the Aurous Core stage overnight, it would not be enough, not to mention, you are only at the Qi Hai realm ¡­"


    After he finished speaking, Nangong Fan shook his head and sighed.


    Lin Tian''s eyes immediately turned cold. How could the Northern Courtyard clean up these low class students? No wonder they had been suppressed by the East and South Academies all their lives.


    Initially, his strength was lacking, yet he still had to feign to be a powerful expert. Even if he were to be beaten up, he wouldn''t dare to act so arrogantly.


    "Ten moves! Within ten moves, I will destroy you!" Towards such a student, Lin Tian didn''t have anything to say. Even saying one more sentence made Lin Tian feel like it was a waste of time and he directly used the Essence in his body. Lin Tian was going to directly attack.


    "Hmm?" Nangong Fan was startled, but he was so angry that he laughed, "This is the first time I''ve heard someone speak to me like that. Interesting, really interesting."


    At this moment, the students below the martial arts arena finally understood what had happened.


    How dare you! How dare you want to fight!


    Everyone''s interest was piqued and everyone knew Nangong Fan, but to most people, Lin Tian was a completely new face.


    But this was the most important thing. What they were interested in was Lin Tian''s previous words.


    "Destroy Nangong Fan in ten moves!"


    This new student, did he not know who Nangong Fan was, or was he just trying to attract attention?


    "Hey, isn''t that kid the new student from yesterday?" Suddenly, a voice was heard.


    At this time, Shangguan Tu was also there.


    One of the people next to Shangguan Tu immediately asked, "Butcher, I heard you''re this year''s new student''s guide, that kid is a new student?"


    "Yes." Shangguan Tu nodded with an ugly expression, then turned and left.


    "Holy shit, he''s really new?" The others began to discuss with each other once more.


    A new student had said that he wanted to destroy the 97th place student on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, Nangong Fan, within ten moves!


    This news had instantly spread throughout the entire Northern Courtyard!

 C179

    Lin Tian didn''t pay attention to the discussions of the crowd. Instead, he concentrated on the battle.


    He was able to determine Nangong Fan''s strength from the fluctuations in Nangong Fan''s aura.


    Third level of the Aurous Core Stage!


    In the Aurous Core Stage, the disparity between each level was extremely great. Previously, Lin Tian had fought with the Eastern Courtyard''s monstrous genius, Wang Tian Fang, who was only at the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage. He was ranked 17th on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Nangong Fan was only two levels away from him, yet he was ranked 97th. From this, it could be seen the difference between each level of the Aurous Core stage.


    The Shangguan Tu that Lin Tian defeated yesterday should have his strength at the second level of the Aurous Core Stage. He was only one level away from Nangong Fan, yet Nangong Fan dared to say that Shangguan Tu was just trash.


    From this, it could be seen that Nangong Fan''s true combat strength should be extremely frightening.


    Sometimes, a cultivator''s cultivation base could not completely display the true combat strength of a martial cultivator. For example, Lin Tian''s tough body had already been imperceptibly increased by his combat strength, to say nothing of the strength of a Symbol Master.


    Ten moves to kill Nangong Fan. If it was yesterday, Lin Tian would not dare to say such words. But today, he believed that he could do it.


    At this moment, Nangong Fan''s face was also staring fiercely at Lin Tian: "Brat, I''ll let you know that you''re just a frog in the well. You don''t realize how big of a gap there is between the Qi Hai realm and the Jindan Stage!"


    "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" Lin Tian''s figure flashed forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Nangong Fan.


    "Footwork martial arts?" Nangong Fan''s tone carried a trace of astonishment, but his feet were also incomparably nimble. Taking a step back, he threw a palm, and with an incomparable ferocity filled with Origin Energy, his palm shot towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dodge. He used his body to block Nangong Fan''s palm strike. His body moved again and he once again appeared in front of Nangong Fan.


    "Bang bang!" The power of one palm landed on Lin Tian''s body, emitting a strong sound of air exploding. However, Lin Tian was not injured at all and instead sent a fist flying.


    "Great Destiny Fist!" Lin Tian Yuan wrapped his palm around Nangong Fan''s body.


    Nangong Fan''s body slightly moved. He looked at Lin Tian in surprise: "The strength of your physical body is rather interesting. At least it''s your fist. I don''t believe you, it''s too weak."


    At the same time, his disdainful voice also came, "If you want to destroy me in ten moves, that is basically impossible. However, I can destroy you in ten moves ¡­"


    Lin Tian did not reply. His Divine Palace trembled slightly and the Origin Soul Spikes condensed within it surged out like a tide and broke through to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm. Lin Tian''s mental strength was also much more vast.


    Right now, the power of the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike was more than ten times stronger than before.


    This was before he had broken through to the Soul Symbol Master stage. If he could break through to the Spiritual Symbol Master stage, the might of the Yuan Spirit Stinger would be even stronger!


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. A strange piercing sound was transmitted to Nangong Fan''s ears in the next moment.


    "What is it?" Nangong Fan''s heart trembled, but at this moment, the soul thorns had already fallen into his sea of consciousness.


    The Immortal Soul Piercing Spike pierced through Nangong Fan''s sea of consciousness.


    Nangong Fan immediately felt his head sink as he felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness.


    He suddenly raised his head and shouted with a trembling voice, "You''re a Symbol Master!"


    "Congratulations, you got it right!" Lin Tian had once again used the Godly Transformation Steps to rush in front of Nangong Fan.


    He once again used his physical body to withstand Nangong Fan''s earlier attack. At the same time, the Great Destiny Fist once again struck out.


    "I can''t underestimate you anymore." At this moment, Nangong Fan had retracted the underestimation in his heart and began to truly treat Lin Tian as his opponent. Powerful soul force surged from his hand, and in the next moment, it suddenly formed into a giant hammer that smashed towards Lin Tian.


    "Thousand Hammer Technique!" A hammer formed from spirit energy, with the pressure of a mountain, fiercely smashed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dodge. Instead, he once again rushed in front of Nangong Fan.


    "Great Destiny Fist!"


    It was the Great Creation Fist again. Nangong Fan suspected that Lin Tian had gone mad, or did he only know this technique? He had already threw out three consecutive punches, and in terms of strength, Nangong Fan could not feel any kind of power when the Great Creation Fist landed on Nangong Fan''s body. The impact that Great Fortune Fist had on him was minuscule.


    On the contrary, when the power of the hammer landed on Lin Tian''s body, even though Lin Tian''s body was incomparably tough, he could feel his body tremble. He was forced back dozens of steps before stabilizing his body.


    He was shaken by the power of the hammer until his Qi and blood surged. After adjusting his breathing for a while, he was barely able to suppress the unceasing churning of his Qi and blood.


    "Brat, it''s the fourth move!" Nangong Fan no longer hesitated and began to counterattack. In the first few moves, Lin Tian took the initiative, but now Nangong Fan wanted to take the initiative.


    "Take another of my Thousand Refined Hammers!" Another incomparably large hammer smashed down towards Lin Tian''s head.


    But Lin Tian still didn''t block it and used his own body to block it. At the same time, he threw out another palm.


    It was even the Great Destiny Fist.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that his advantage was his strong physical body. He could only rely on his physical body to gain an advantage, and with his current martial arts and cultivation, even if he used the strongest Sky Collapsing Palm, he still wouldn''t be able to defeat Nangong Fan.


    If he wanted to destroy Nangong Fan, he could only use the Great Creation Fist.


    Actually, if he wanted to defeat Nangong Fan, it would be very easy. It would be like defeating Shangguan Tu yesterday, using the power of the Icy Silkworm to freeze him. Within one move, he could kill Nangong Fan in one second, or use the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, and destroy Nangong Fan with one palm.


    But this kind of victory was not what Lin Tian wanted. The victory Lin Tian wanted was to rely on his own strength to defeat him!


    Furthermore, he had broken through two stages in a row. This fight could make up for his unstable foundation.


    "Bang bang!" The power of the Thousand Jin hammer once again descended on Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s body suddenly trembled. He was pushed back dozens of steps before he managed to stabilize his body. However, the power of the Great Fortune Fist had also landed on Nangong Fan''s body.


    "This boy, he''s so strange. Although his physical body is powerful, his fist is powerless. No matter how powerful his physical body is, it can still withstand several punches from Nangong Fan." At this moment, in a pavilion far away from the martial arena, Yang Wang, who was ranked 93rd on the Proclamation of War against Lin TianAo yesterday, suddenly spoke.


    "I don''t know, but I don''t know why, but I keep having the feeling that there''s something wrong with that kid''s punch ¡­" Another person sitting on top of the pavilion replied.


    "Look, look, it''s the ninth move ¡­" Yang Wang suddenly shouted.


    At this moment, Lin Tian and Nangong Fan had already fought to the ninth move.


    As for the final move, everyone wanted to see whether or not it was as Lin Tian had said, that he would be able to defeat Nangong Fan in ten moves.


    "Brat, can you still withstand my next move?" Nangong Fan looked at Lin Tian who was covered in blood stains. Lin Tian''s body had just taken a few more of Nangong Fan''s punches, and was already starting to condense blood veins. He looked like he was about to collapse.


    "You, don''t have a chance!" Lin Tian suddenly raised his head and grinned.


    He spat out a mouthful of black blood, revealing his pure white teeth.


    Nangong Fan became wary, "What do you mean?"


    "Explode, explode, explode!" Lin Tian suddenly leaped up and roared at Nangong Fan.


    At the same time, hidden forces were surging around Nangong Fan''s body. In the next moment, they would collide with each other and completely explode.


    Bang bang bang bang bang. This sound suddenly came from Nangong Fan''s body.


    Ah!" Nangong Fan''s shrill scream instantly spread throughout the entire Martial Arts Practice Grounds. Everyone looked at Lin Tian and Nangong Fan in shock.


    Nangong Fan face-planted onto the ground. His body flew out and tumbled down the stage.


    Everyone in the audience looked carefully at Nangong Fan. Right now, the skin on his body had exploded and he was covered in blood. He had fallen off the stage and was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.


    It was very clear that Nangong Fan had lost. Furthermore, he had sustained serious injuries.


    No one knew how Lin Tian had done it, but he had done what Lin Tian had said.


    Ten moves. Within ten moves, Lin Tian had truly blown up Nangong Fan!

 C180

    This battle completely shocked everyone present. At the same time, it also caused the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky who came to challenge Lin Tian to stop underestimating Lin Tian''s heart.


    Lin Tian''s strength far exceeded their expectations. Of course, it was also far beyond his original cultivation of the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Lin Tian''s true combat strength was at least at the third level of the Aurous Core Stage. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to beat up Nangong Fan, who was at the third level of the Aurous Core Stage, to such an extent.


    However, at the same time, Lin Tian did not leave. Instead, he directly arrived in front of Nangong Fan.


    "Hand over your identity token!" Lin Tian grinned as he spoke to Nangong Fan.


    Nangong Fan was slightly startled, but soon after, he seemed to have understood something. He looked at Lin Tian with a deathly pale face before shouting in disbelief, "No, impossible! How could I lose to you? How could I lose to you?"


    "What, you don''t even want to admit your loss?" Lin Tian coldly snorted and stomped his foot on Nangong Fan''s chest. In the next moment, a green light appeared in his hand and he pointed it at Nangong Fan''s neck.


    "I''ll say it one last time. Hand over the badge."


    Lin Tian already completely understood the importance of an identity token. Of course, this didn''t mean that this identity token was anything special.


    It was the accumulated contribution points from his identity token.


    In the Northern Courtyard, the most important thing was the contribution points.


    Contribution points were the most common currency in the Northern Courtyard. By relying on contribution points, one could exchange for spirit stones, medicinal pills, secret manuals, and even other rare treasures.


    It could be said that contribution points were the currency of the Northern Courtyard. As long as one had sufficient contribution points, one would be able to obtain countless cultivation resources.


    The way to obtain contribution points was very simple. The first method was to complete missions issued by the Mission Pavilion, or to hunt demon beasts in exchange for contribution points.


    The other type was simple and crude.


    This sort of battle didn''t mean that one could casually find someone to fight. Rather, one had to challenge in advance and wait for the opponent to agree to challenge you. Under the premise of a fair battle, the victor would be able to take the contribution points on the opponent''s identity plate as their own.


    This Nangong Fan was here to challenge Lin Tian. Now that he had lost, it was normal for him to take out contribution points.


    The rest of the people were all staring fixedly at Nangong Fan. They wanted to know if Nangong Fan would hand it over or not.


    If he did not hand it over, according to the rules of the Northern Courtyard, Lin Tian could kill it and would not receive any punishment.


    Defeating an opponent and obtaining their contribution points was a symbol of strength. The Northern Courtyard only worshipped the strong.


    The weak always had ten thousand reasons, but the strong never made sense.


    "Looks like you still don''t want to hand it over ¡­" Lin Tian saw Nangong Fan''s unwilling expression and shook his head: "Since that''s the case, then I can only send you to the Western Paradise first before taking your identity token away."


    Lin Tian made his move just like that, and the Dragon Scale Spear fiercely pierced into Nangong Fan''s neck.


    As the tip of the spear slowly penetrated his body, Nangong Fan''s face was filled with incomparable fear. He had never imagined that Lin Tian would be so decisive in killing others. He had attacked without mercy.


    The tip of the spear slowly penetrated his neck, causing blood to spurt out all over his body, spraying Nangong Fan''s face with blood.


    Only now did Nangong Fan feel how close he was to death. He immediately cried out in fear, "Don''t, don''t kill me, I''ll hand it over, I''ll hand it over ¡­"


    The tip of the spear was pulled out in an instant, bringing with it a thick smell of blood.


    In the next moment, Nangong Fan covered the wound on his neck. His hands and feet hurriedly fished out his identity plate and tossed it over to Lin Tian. Following that, he took out a pill from his chest and placed it in his mouth before letting out a long sigh of relief.


    Perhaps it was because of that pill, but Nangong Fan''s neck immediately stopped bleeding.


    At the same time, Lin Tian unceremoniously grabbed Nangong Fan''s identity plate and began to inspect how many contribution points Nangong Fan possessed.


    He didn''t know when, but he was startled when he checked. This Nangong Fan actually had 20,000 contribution points in his identity token.


    Twenty thousand was probably not a small sum. He should be able to exchange it for a lot of Spirit Stones. What Lin Tian needed the most right now was Spirit Stones. He needed a large number of Spirit Stones to condense his aurous core.


    Lin Tian impolitely transferred all of the contribution points in Nangong Fan''s identity token onto his own identity token.


    Only then did he give the identity token to Nangong Fan.


    Nangong Fan slightly sensed with his Divine Sense and knew that all his contribution points had been taken away by Lin Tian. However, he did not dare say anything more.


    "Let''s go, of course we can. But first, you must tell me which cave is this?" Lin Tian faintly smiled.


    These students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky all had a unique cave dwelling in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. There were powerful Symbol Array Masters, who would set up a formation to condense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth within the cave, and with the support of these formation arrays, they would be able to cultivate in the cave for many years with the support of an incomparably powerful Spiritual Energy. Cultivating in this cave would save them a large amount of Spirit Stones and increase their cultivation speed.


    Lin Tian naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.


    Nangong Fan''s face darkened, but he had also thought of this result. He was the one who lost. No matter what the other party asked for, he had to agree.


    "cave no. 9 ¡­" When Nangong Fan said this, his heart was bleeding. He originally thought this kid was easy to deal with and that if he defeated him, he could directly become the 83rd rank on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. He could also prove in front of everyone that he was a genius.


    But he did not expect that everything had changed. All of this was for this new student called Lin Tian.


    The contribution points he had accumulated from hunting demon beasts had all been completely robbed by Lin Tian. Not only that, he had been completely destroyed by Lin Tian in front of all the Northern Courtyard students within ten moves.


    He knew that from today on, Lin Tian''s name would spread throughout the Northern Courtyard and even the other three branch academies.


    As for him, Nangong Fan, he had become a laughing stock.


    Not only that, but most importantly, Nangong Fan''s injuries were so severe that they might even affect his cultivation. Even his ranking on the Proclamation of Azure Sky would be affected.


    Nangong Fan stopped thinking about it. If he continued to think about it, Nangong Fan was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to take it and would cough out more blood. It would be too embarrassing.


    "Can I go now?" Nangong Fan wished that there was a hole for him to crawl into.


    But even if he wanted to leave, he still had to ask Lin Tian''s opinion.


    "Scram." Lin Tian had obtained 20,000 contribution points and was in a good mood. He waved his hand and told Nangong Fan to scram.


    Nangong Fan seemed to have been greatly relieved and left the place without looking back.


    Everyone was staring at the scene in front of them with disbelief written all over their faces.


    This new student had actually managed to beat a student of the inner courtyard to such a state.


    Furthermore, as an inner courtyard student, Nangong Fan did not dare to resist or disobey ¡­


    However, after this battle, all the students realized one thing. The heavens of the Northern Courtyard were about to change!

 C181

    However, just at this moment, another voice rang out from below the stage, "The ninety-third person of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, Yang Wang, has come to challenge you."


    Accompanying the voice filled with energy was another expert. He was also the student on the Proclamation of Azure Sky that had come to challenge Lin Tian that day, Yang Wang. At this moment, he had also arrived at the arena.


    "Do you still remember me?" Yang Wang was wearing a black robe and had a malicious expression on his face. His body was also emitting a strange aura, making him look very strange.


    Lin Tian was not unfamiliar with him. On the contrary, he had a very deep impression of him.


    Compared to Nangong Fan, Yang Wang''s aura was even more terrifying, to the point that even Lin Tian couldn''t see through it.


    Nangong Fan''s pride was written all over his face, but this Yang Wang didn''t have the slightest expression on his face. However, from his eyes, Lin Tian could still see the warlike and victorious look in Yang Wang''s eyes.


    The rankings of the Proclamation of Azure Sky was the most fair, and because of this, it was possible to judge this person''s strength based on his ranking.


    Although Yang Wang was only four places higher than Nangong Fan, but even so, Lin Tian knew that this Yang Wang was far more terrifying than Nangong Fan.


    Furthermore, this Yang Wang also had another extremely terrifying title ¡ª ¡ª "Hades!"


    However, Lin Tian was not afraid in the slightest. On the contrary, Lin Tian was hiddenly looking forward to it. He could already feel that the hot blood in his body was actually starting to boil.


    Lin Tian was a typical strong person so he was strong. His body had the blood and inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon. He could be said to be the only Ancestral Dragon martial artist in the Sky Dragon Continent.


    What kind of existence was an Ancestral Dragon? The strongest existence in all of the heavens, the Ancestral Dragon created chaos and established the Sky Dragon Continent.


    Lin Tian had inherited the ancestral dragon blood. Battle loving genes had already flowed in his blood.


    He would not fear any powerhouses, because only powerhouses would be able to completely unleash his potential.


    "Of course I do." Lin Tian indifferently said: "Since you''re here to challenge, then there''s no need to waste words. Let''s fight."


    When Yang Wang heard Lin Tian''s words, he was stunned. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. He then asked: "You, don''t you need to rest a bit?"


    In the battle between Lin Tian and Nangong Fan, Yang Wang had seen everything. Although Lin Tian had heavily injured Nangong Fan in the end, Lin Tian should have also been injured because Lin Tian had always been using melee tactics. He had used his own body to forcefully block Nangong Fan''s punches.


    Even if he didn''t need to recover from his injuries, he still needed to recuperate. Before Yang Wang came up on stage, he had already made preparations to fight with Lin Tian tomorrow, because when he thought of Lin Tian''s injuries, he needed at least a day to recuperate.


    "No need." Lin Tian shook his head.


    It was true that he had been injured, but in that short moment of time, the whirlpool of his Dantian circulated crazily. It circulated the Essence in his body and helped him to recover.


    Up until now, he had already recovered more than 90%. As for his physical body, it was even more terrifying because he had already condensed an Aurous Core. The aurous core''s surging Essence quickly restored Lin Tian''s physical body.


    Of course, it was also because of this that Lin TianAo wanted to continue battling.


    Lin Tian had already seen the hope of breaking through to the Aurous Core stage. Moreover, once he broke through to the Aurous Core stage, Lin Tian''s strength would rise to a whole new level. Whether it was his strength or the strength of his physical body, both would be on a whole new level.


    However, if he wanted to break through to the Aurous Core stage, he would need a lot of spirit stones.


    Of course, these students who had come to challenge him were here to give him a large amount of spirit stones.


    One Nangong Fan was able to provide 20,000 contribution points to Lin Tian. If all the students who challenged him were defeated by Lin Tian, then the contribution points that Lin Tian had accumulated would definitely be enough to exchange for a large amount of spirit stones.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became even more excited.


    Right now, he only wanted to fight, fight, and continue fighting!


    "You really don''t need to use it?" Yang Wang asked again.


    "You talk too much nonsense!" Lin Tian no longer hesitated and slightly shook the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. The overflowing Essence immediately converged onto the tip of the spear. The long spear trembled and released a string of spear shadows, directly shooting towards Yang Wang.


    "It seems like you really don''t need to recover." Yang Wang looked at Lin Tian''s shaking spear light in astonishment, his eyes carrying a trace of surprise.


    Lin Tian had actually really recovered his strength. The loss from the battle just now, Lin Tian actually used several breaths of time to completely recover.


    The power of the thrust of his spear had already been restored to its original state.


    However, this was also good. Yang Wang was worried that he would lose the reputation of bullying the injured after winning.


    "Retreat!" Yang Wang''s body abruptly exploded as he softly shouted.


    A stream of energy shot out from Yang Wang''s hand and landed on the tip of the dragon scale spear.


    In the next moment, the berserk Essence Qi on the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear was completely dispersed by the power in Yang Wang''s hands.


    At the same time, Yang Wang''s body also steadily landed on the stage as he clashed with Lin Tian.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian was forced back a few steps by Yang Wang''s force. Only then did he stabilize his body.


    As expected, Yang Wang''s reputation was well-deserved. Just that light palm strike was enough to see Yang Wang''s strength.


    Yang Wang was much stronger than Nangong Fan.


    "Kill!" But the more it was like this, the more excited Lin Tian became. The blood in his entire body was boiling.


    At this moment, the Immortal Soul Sting in Lin TianAo''s residence whizzed out, all of it piercing towards Yang Wang.


    Yang Wang also knew Lin Tian''s status as a Symbol Master. After hearing the whistling sound breaking through the air, he did not dare to hesitate at all. His entire body surged with a black-colored Essence Qi that firmly wrapped around his entire body.


    In order to block Lin Tian''s spirit pierce, at the same time, a black qi surged out from his hand. At the same time, it also fiercely pounced towards Lin Tian.


    The moment the black Qi rushed out of Yang Wang''s body, it turned into a huge devil in the blink of an eye.


    The black devil suddenly charged towards Lin Tian and opened its mouth to swallow him.


    "I have finally seen Hades take action. It looks like Hades has not relaxed his training after so long ¡­" On the arena, a certain young master suddenly laughed and said.


    When the crowd heard his voice, they felt a sense of familiarity and couldn''t help but to turn their heads over.


    In the next moment, waves of exclamations came from the young master''s side.


    "It''s him, did he come to watch this battle as well?"


    "It''s really him. Didn''t they say he went on a secret mission?" The people around the young master immediately started whispering to each other.


    That Young Master didn''t seem to be aware of it at all. However, within his eyes, the battle between Lin Tian and Yang Wang constantly appeared.


    However, the most frightening thing was that the Young Master''s eyes seemed to be hiding a vast amount of space energy, and Lin Tian''s figure and Yang Wang''s figure were both in the Young Master''s eyes.


    On the stage, although the battle between Lin Tian and the others was incomparably fierce, in the eyes of that young master, it was much slower. That young master was quite clear on the situation of the two of them fighting ¡­

 C182

    Lin Tian, who was in the middle of a whirlpool of battle, did not pay attention to the expressions of anyone below him.


    He was completely immersed in the battle.


    The devil Yang Wang displayed, in the instant that he swallowed Lin Tian, Lin Tian suddenly condensed a palm and crazily charged at the devil.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm." Lin Tian''s palm shot towards the devil''s mouth.


    boom * The power of the explosion directly exploded the demon and immediately, it exploded and became a lump of black gas once again.


    But in the next moment, a change occurred. That lump of black Qi once again turned into a devil and continued charging towards Lin Tian, opening its mouth and once again biting towards Lin Tian.


    "What the hell is this?" Lin Tian immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    It was as if the black gas could not be destroyed.


    Although the Sky Collapsing Palm had blown up the devil, it still hadn''t eliminated the devil''s power. If the black gas didn''t die out, the devil would reappear.


    "What, even I was taken in by this move?" Yang Wang suddenly started laughing. With a hint of contempt in his voice, he said, "I really don''t know how you defeated Nangong Fan. Did Nangong Fan go easy on you?"


    As Yang Wang spoke, his hands did not stop moving. He opened his arms and the black robe on his body fluttered without wind. At the next moment, streams of black qi madly rushed out from his sleeves.


    Endless amounts of black qi, in that instant, crazily rushed towards Lin Tian.


    And just as he charged in front of Lin Tian, the wave of black gas suddenly became terrifying and terrifying devils one after another.


    In an instant, in front of Lin Tian, several hundred demons with their mouths wide open rushed towards Lin Tian.


    "Demonic cultivator!" Lin Tian suddenly came to a realization. This Yang Wang was actually a demonic cultivator.


    Martial arts encompassed a myriad of aspects. There were countless ways to practice it, but regardless of what cultivation technique one practiced, it was always a type of martial arts.


    The path of demon was also a type of martial arts.


    Obviously, this Yang Wang in front of him was cultivating the demonic way.


    Lin Tian had never seen this method before because he had never encountered a demonic cultivator before.


    The Devil Dao was also divided into many different types. Lin Tian had heard of his master, Xiao Yunhai''s wife, who had lied to him before. She was a demonic cultivator.


    However, the kind of demonic cultivator she was was relying on to slaughter humans and use their blood to sacrifice martial cultivators, using extremely cruel methods to cultivate her demonic arts.


    This kind of person was shameless for all martial arts cultivators. He was also the enemy of all martial arts cultivators on the Sky Dragon Continent.


    However, this Yang Wang was clearly not cultivating such a cruel and bloody cultivation technique. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to enter the Azure Province Academy.


    But even so, Lin Tian still felt that it was a little tricky. This was really the first time he met a demonic cultivator and he couldn''t find a way to deal with it.


    However, with so many devils rushing towards Lin Tian, Lin Tian naturally would not surrender.


    His Divine Manor moved once again, condensing a Mental Energy that instantly transformed into countless Yuan Spirit Thorns that crazily charged towards the Devils.


    The Primal Thorn pierced straight through those devils.


    Those devils immediately exploded and once again turned into strands of black gas.


    But in the next moment, the balls of black Qi started to condense again, turning back into demons, and once again pouncing towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian only temporarily stopped the attacks of the demons with the Origin Spirit Spikes, but it was obvious that the power of the Origin Spirit Spikes was not of much use to these demons.


    This was the first time that Lin Tian felt that things were troublesome. His own Essence was unable to wipe out these demons. Even Spirit power was useless against these demons.


    What power that Lin Tian could use could exterminate these demons?


    "Blood." Just at this moment, within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, a voice suddenly sounded out.


    "Hornless?"


    "Your blood, I said. Your blood can exterminate these damned things." Horned Demon''s indifferent voice sounded once again.


    "My blood?" Lin Tian was even more puzzled.


    "A demonic cultivator''s cultivation technique is very easy to break. As long as you use the correct strength, breaking their strength can be said to be an easy task."


    "Hmm?"


    "Demonic cultivators are most afraid of the most masculine and masculine power." Horned Demon replied with a light answer, "The blood of the Ancestral Dragon can destroy all kinds of filthy things. This kind of demonic energy is also a filthy thing. It is extremely easy for you to use your own blood to break their power."


    "Brat, I can tell you this. Your blood is this brat''s natural enemy. You are just a low-level cultivator." Hornless'' voice carried a trace of contempt.


    "I''ll try." Lin Tian didn''t hesitate. At this moment, the devils had already rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian directly bit his middle finger, his blood-red finger immediately pointing at the head of the demon that charged in front of Lin Tian.


    In that instant, the change occurred again, and the devil let out a cry. In the next moment, the devil turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared.


    At the same time, Yang Wang''s body also trembled. The look in his eyes became complicated. He seemed to have thought of something, but I wasn''t sure.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate. He pointed his middle finger again and another demon rushed towards him. That demon once again let out a sorrowful howl, then it turned into a strand of black smoke and completely disappeared.


    At this moment, Yang Wang finally felt that something was amiss. Could it be that this kid possessed an extremely positive strength?


    Thinking of this, Yang Wang immediately felt that he should do something.


    Numerous frightening black Yuan Power suddenly gathered in his hands. In the next moment, the Yuan Power had turned into a large pitch-black palm. The large palm condensed in an instant and fiercely smashed towards Lin Tian.


    "Soul Slaying Hand!" Yang Wang suddenly roared and the power of his palm was like a tornado as it rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not pay any attention to that big palm because even though that palm''s power was terrifying, his physical body could completely withstand it, so there was no need to worry. But at this moment, he found a way to defeat Yang Wang.


    Lin Tian slightly moved his hand and the Dragon Scale Spear immediately appeared.


    Fresh blood constantly flowed out from Lin Tian''s middle finger and flowed down along the Dragon Scale Spear, completely dyeing it red. At this time, the Essence in Lin Tian''s body also wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear.


    As the blood mixed with the origin energy, the Dragon Scale Spear began to shake again.


    Above the spear tip was the Essence that was tainted with Lin Tian''s blood. In that instant, it was divided into ten, ten hundred, hundred to one thousand.


    In a split-second, a loud dragon roar came from the top of the Dragon Scale Spear.


    In the next moment, the spears stabbed at the devils.


    The demon was tainted with Lin Tian''s blood and instantly turned into black smoke and disappeared.


    At the same time, the power of the Soul-Slaughtering Hand landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    "Bang, bang, bang." The sound of an explosion rang out and Lin Tian''s figure shook a little. But in the next moment, instead of retreating, Lin Tian advanced. His steps reached their maximum speed and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Yang Wang.


    With the devil eliminated, Yang Wang''s face had already turned pale.


    But right now, Lin Tian had already arrived in front of him, so he couldn''t react.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian pressed his middle finger directly between Yang Wang''s eyebrows.


    AHH!" "Yang Wang''s pitiful cry was heard.

 C183

    The Ancestral Dragon blood essence suppressed all evil things in the world. All unorthodox techniques, demonic techniques, all disappeared without a trace in front of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence.


    If it was anyone else, perhaps they would not be able to break the power of the devil that he had just used. Even if it was an expert who was much stronger than Yang Wang, it would still require some effort to break his power.


    However, it was not difficult for a martial cultivator with extreme Yang energy to defeat Yang Wang.


    An existence like Lin Tian, who inherited the blood and essence of an Ancestral Dragon, was the nemesis of Yang Wang.


    The power of each drop of dragon blood quickly flowed through the center of Yang Wang''s brows and rushed into his body. Yang Wang screamed madly, but there was nothing he could do about it.


    He felt that the soul force around his body had already been completely destroyed by the point that Lin Tian had pointed out.


    At this moment, Yang Wang''s entire body was emitting an incomparably terrifying black smoke, as if he was being roasted. It was extremely terrifying.


    The surrounding crowd also looked at Lin Tian and Yang Wang with faces full of disbelief.


    None of them could understand why Yang Wang, who they normally thought was incomparably powerful and was even known as the King of Hell, would be so weak in front of Lin Tian.


    Before long, Yang Wang''s face was covered in wrinkles. Even his hair had turned slightly gray from his jet-black hair.


    He knew that if the blood on his middle finger once again stopped between Yang Wang''s eyebrows, then it was possible that this Yang Wang would be completely destroyed by Lin Tian, and he might even become a trash with ruptured veins.


    The Northern Courtyard allowed disciples to spar and challenge each other, but it was clearly prohibited to kill each other. If Lin Tian destroyed Yang Wang, the Northern Courtyard would not allow it.


    Lin Tian didn''t waste any time and after kicking away Yang Wang, he coldly said: "Hand over your identity plate and your cave dwelling. From today onwards, I will take over."


    At this moment, Yang Wang''s face was full of fear as he looked at Lin Tian. Without any hesitation, he directly handed over his identity token.


    He had already seen what had happened to Nangong Fan, so he naturally wouldn''t fight with Lin Tian. He also honestly told him the name and location of his cave.


    He already knew Lin Tian''s trump card. Although Lin Tian''s cultivation realm was not as high as theirs, his true combat strength was definitely above the Aurous Core stage.


    Not only that, Lin Tian was also a Symbol Master. The most important thing was that Lin Tian''s blood was actually filled with Yang energy.


    To Yang Wang, this kind of power was akin to heavenly tribulation.


    At this moment, in Yang Wang''s heart, Lin Tian was already listed as one of the people he absolutely shouldn''t offend.


    Lin Tian took Yang Wang''s identity token and looked it over. The contribution points on Yang Wang''s identity token weren''t as many as Nangong Fan''s, but it wasn''t small either. It was a total of 13,000 contribution points.


    Without hesitation, Lin Tian directly transferred the contribution points onto his identity plate.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, obtained over 30,000 contribution points from these two consecutive great battles.


    Although Lin Tian didn''t know how many spirit stones he could exchange with over 30,000 contribution points, it would definitely not be a small number.


    "This is quite a good way to earn contribution points." Lin Tian thought in his heart.


    He needed a large amount of spirit stones to cultivate in order to help him break through to the Aurous Core stage. More importantly, this kind of battle would have a great effect on the potential in Lin Tian''s body.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked forward to more people coming to challenge him.


    No one challenged him and Lin Tian still had to go to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to fight with the monsters in order to increase his combat ability. However, how could the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range possibly have stronger students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky?


    Only when he fought against these students would Lin Tian be able to let it go.


    Battling would help Lin Tian greatly.


    He had suffered a very serious injury. Lin Tian''s dragon blood had practically destroyed his power, and it had even caused a crack to appear in the golden core formed in his dantian. To Yang Wang, this was an almost fatal injury, and it might even affect his future cultivation.


    Once Yang Wang left, everyone began to discuss among themselves.


    Currently, Shangguan Tu who was in the crowd also did not leave. If Lin Tian had defeated Nangong Fan and hadn''t made Shangguan Tu give up, then after Lin Tian defeated Yang Wang, Shangguan Tu would have completely given up. Losing to Lin Tian was something that was inevitable.


    The two students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky lost to Lin Tian in succession, which proved Lin Tian''s strength. Although Shangguan Tu called himself an expert of the Northern Courtyard, he also knew that he was still quite a distance away from the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Previously, when he was robbed of his room, Shangguan Tu was still unwilling. In his heart, he even wanted to get back at them, but now, he had given up.


    It was because yesterday, Lin Tian had forgotten to snatch his identity plate, so compared to Nangong Fan and Yang Wang, he was still considered lucky. At least the 8,000 contribution points on his identity plate was still there.


    It had to be known that he had spent a huge price on these 8,000 contribution points in order to save them. If Lin Tian had taken them last night, then all his hard work for so many days would have been in vain.


    Thinking about this, Shangguan Tu didn''t dare to stay here any longer. It was better to spend the eight thousand contribution points as soon as possible so that Lin Tian wouldn''t see him later. If he thought of something and wanted to take away his contribution points again, he really wouldn''t be able to cry.


    Just as Shangguan Tu left, another person walked up to the stage.


    Lin Tian''s gaze immediately fell on that person.


    This person was one of the people who had come to challenge him.


    Lin Tian thought about this student''s name. It seemed like his name was Li Qingshan.


    This person was ranked # 89 on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Amongst those who challenged him, he was ranked # 1.


    He was also one of the first students to challenge Lin Tian.


    However, compared to the gentle Nangong Fan from before, and the incomparably charming Yang Wang, this Li Qingshan had a wooden expression on his face. Li Qingshan''s appearance was extremely ordinary, and he would not even look at him if he were to be compared to the sea of people. This, coupled with his stupefied expression, caused Lin Tian to immediately be curious about him; the fact that he was ranked eighty-ninth on the Proclamation of Azure Sky already proved Li Qingshan''s strength, but Lin Tian was unable to see through Li Qingshan''s strength.


    "This Li Qingshan is a match for ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled. In his heart, he once again had some anticipation.

 C184

    "You''re not bad." Standing on the stage, Li Qingshan sized up Lin Tian for a long time. After sizing him up for a long time, Li Qingshan unexpectedly said this.


    Lin Tian nodded his head and replied: "You''re not bad too."


    Li Qingshan stopped talking and no longer said anything. He quietly stretched out his hands, and under everyone''s gaze, his palms gradually turned red, and once again turned red.


    Before long, Li Qingshan''s hands seemed to have ignited a flame as he emitted a scorching and terrifying power.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to be careless. Just as he was about to take action, at this moment, a figure quickly rushed to the martial arts practice field.


    At this moment, the Martial Arts Practice Grounds was packed with people. However, that person was still able to see the figure on the Martial Stage.


    "Lin Tian!" Right at this moment, a charming voice was transmitted over. Upon hearing it, everyone on the stage were slightly startled.


    Lin Tian was also slightly startled and immediately turned his head to look at the location the voice came from.


    That voice was even more familiar to Lin Tian because that voice belonged to no one else but Gu Yan''er.


    "Something has happened!" When Lin Tian''s gaze turned to Gu Yan''er, she simply said these three words.


    But these three simple words made Lin Tian feel an oppressive atmosphere.


    Since Gu Yan''er was so anxious to say something, it must not be a small matter.


    Lin Tian''s gaze immediately turned towards Li Qingshan as he slightly apologetically said: "I''ll temporarily pause for a moment."


    Li Qingshan nodded dumbly. The redness that had just appeared on his hand immediately disappeared without a trace. If everyone hadn''t seen it with their own eyes, they would not have been able to imagine what just happened to Li Qingshan.


    At the same time, the aura on Li Qingshan''s body had also completely returned to peace.


    The monstrous power that had accompanied his hands earlier had also disappeared.


    Lin Tian was slightly shocked. Li Qingshan''s control of his strength had already reached a level where he could control anything he wished. From this, it was clear that he, Li Qingshan, was much stronger than Nangong Fan and Yang Wang.


    "What''s wrong?" However, the current Lin Tian did not have much time to think and he used the Spirit Transformation Steps to its extreme. In the next moment, his body passed through the crowd and arrived in front of Gu Yan''er.


    "Follow me." In order to not waste time, Gu Yan''er directly grabbed Lin Tian and prepared to leave.


    "This ¡­" Lin Tian''s gaze immediately turned towards Li Qingshan.


    On Li Qingshan''s stiff face, not a single trace of emotion could be seen.


    He nodded slightly. "I''ll wait for you here."


    Such simple words made Lin Tian completely relax.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly grabbed Gu Yan''er, leaving this place.


    Along the way, Gu Yan''er clearly described what had happened with a few words.


    So it turned out that something had happened in their room this morning.


    Lin Tian left his room early in the morning and arrived at the martial arts practice field. Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing were still sleeping.


    Not long after, the perverted Yang Lang and Ji Chunxue, whom they had met on the road yesterday, came knocking today.


    That perverted Yang wolf had already displayed his desire for Gu Yan''er''s beauty yesterday, and Ji Chunxue was the same. Moreover, the two of them also coveted the resources that the other students had.


    Therefore, Yang Scoundrel and Ji Chunxue brought a group of old students to the new students'' residence early in the morning.


    After the resources of the new students had been stripped clean, Yang Sirius and Ji Chunxue were shocked to discover that Gu Yan''er, Lin Tian, and the other two from yesterday were not at the new students'' residence.


    It was also because of this that they found out that Lin Tian defeated Shangguan Tu yesterday and brought the four of them to a room with the number A.


    Thus, a large group of people arrived at the room with the number A.


    Naturally, they knew that Lin Tian was actually a sixth level heaven''s pride level student. The other three people were actually fifth level Hidden Dragon students. Such a student must have more resources on him, so without any hesitation, everyone rushed to the room with excitement.


    The last pity was that when they arrived, Lin Tian had already left.


    However, while Lin Tian had left, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing and Du Feng were still there.


    To them, this wasn''t a loss at all.


    When they rushed into Gu Yan''er''s room, Gu Yan''er had already been alerted long ago. She had already laid out an endless amount of poison gas in her room, and a few of the students who had rushed in first were immediately hit by it. At the same time, the sounds of fighting also came from Fang Xing''s and Du Feng''s room.


    Gu Yan''er did not dare to be careless and quickly jumped out of the window. Only now did she discover that Lin Tian was no longer in her room. As a result, Gu Yan''er immediately rushed to the martial arts practice field.


    Yesterday, when Nangong Fan wanted to challenge Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er was also present. She had also heard about the location of the battle.


    Thus, Gu Yan''er rushed to the training field without any hesitation and indeed discovered Lin Tian.


    When Lin Tian heard this, the corner of his mouth revealed an extremely strange smile: "These seniors, they really are like coal in the snow. I was worried that I didn''t have enough contribution points, so these seniors have already given it to me."


    Upon hearing that it was Ji Chunxue and that pervert Yang, not only did Lin Tian not worry, he was instead excited.


    Yesterday, when Ji Chunxue and Yang Sirius had teamed up, Shangguan Tu had held no advantage over them.


    From this, he could deduce the strength of these two people, but if they had that kind of strength, they would only be able to beat Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian went berserk along the way. In the time of a few breaths, he rushed into the room with the number A number that they lived in.


    At this point, the battle was already over. A group of students was gathered together, probably splitting up the loot.


    Lin Tian lightly patted the back of a student and asked: "Is it over?"


    "En, it''s about time. I''m still searching for that girl and the new kid." That person did not even turn his head back as he directly replied. He then muttered, "That''s right, why have you only just arrived? These resources do not belong to you anymore ¡­"


    "It''s fine, it''s all mine anyway." Lin Tian said in a low voice.


    Just as he was about to ask what in the world Lin Tian was going to say, a monstrous roar suddenly came from the room: "Where did that little girl go? She''s all trash, and there''s also that brat who defeated Shangguan Tu yesterday. Where is he? Shangguan Tu is really trash, he was actually defeated by a new student, we really lose the face of us seniors ¡­"


    This voice, Lin Tian recognized it. It was the voice of a pervert.


    Lin Tian was about to take action, but at this moment, Yang Scoundrel and Ji Chunxue had already walked out. However, they were still pushing two people as they walked out.


    Those two were none other than Du Feng and Fang Xing.

 C185

    As far as Fang Xing and Du Feng were concerned, although both of them were at the sky spirit body level, they were at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm after all. However, their seventh level of the Qi Hai realm was nowhere as terrifying as Lin Tian''s seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. After all, Lin Tian was invincible within the same level.


    However, Du Feng and Fang Xing did not have such strength.


    There was no need to mention Gu Yan''er; her strength was even weaker than Du Feng and Fang Xing.


    Therefore, when they met these seniors who had just broken through to the first level of the Aurous Core Stage, no matter how talented they were, they would still be beaten up by these seniors.


    Fang Xing and Du Feng were clearly injured as well, but the two of them still had expressions of indignation on their faces. It was clear that they were unwilling to accept this outcome.


    Lin Tian didn''t think any further and said, "Fang Xing, Du Feng, the two of you really deserve the title of Hidden Dragon Fellow. How could you be so obedient to such a pile of trash?"


    Lin Tian''s words weren''t small, but it just so happened that everyone could hear it.


    Du Feng and Fang Xing were overjoyed when they heard this.


    However, the other older students felt a burst of anger in their hearts. They turned their heads, wanting to see who had said those words.


    Although Lin Tian''s tone sounded like he was mocking Fang Xing and Du Feng, everyone knew in their hearts that the person who said it was more important than just a pile of trash.


    Who was it that dared to call these seniors trash?


    "Oh, isn''t this the same girl I saw yesterday? Please let this father find her easily!" At this moment, that pervert also noticed Gu Yan''er who was behind Lin Tian. Seeing the pervert who was behind Gu Yan''er, he decisively ignored Lin Tian who was in front of Gu Yan''er.


    "Ji Chunxue, I''ll leave that little b * stard to you. Your father has to have a great time with this girl''s skin first!" The pervert Yang''s name was exactly the same. Although he wasn''t really called a pervert, not many people remembered his previous name. Perhaps he wouldn''t even remember his previous name.


    Because everything he did had something to do with sex.


    Over time, everyone knew that he was a pervert, but no one knew his real name.


    Ji Chunxue was about to retort, but suddenly looked at Lin Tian. His heart skipped a beat because he realized that when he looked at Lin Tian, what he saw in Lin Tian''s eyes was only ¡­ ridicule?


    That''s right, it was a mockery. It was as if he didn''t put the people in front of him in his eyes at all.


    "Pretending to be ghosts!" Finally, Ji Chunxue mumbled to the crowd, "He, is he. He is the only student recruited by the Northern Courtyard, and he is ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. All of the resources he has on him will be several times more than that of the two students."


    The other students also saw Lin Tian.


    "The eighty-third place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky?"


    "A Heaven''s Pride student?"


    "The resources are several times higher than those of the two brats from before?"


    These few crucial words immediately made all the seniors present thoroughly excited.


    "Attack!" The few students closest to Lin Tian no longer hesitated and took the initiative to attack.


    But before they rushed towards Lin Tian, Lin Tian''s body moved.


    His footsteps were so fast that before anyone could see clearly, Lin Tian was already like a hungry wolf as he rushed towards everyone.


    In the next moment, his body violently collided with a senior in the lead.


    "Bang bang!" With an explosive sound, the senior''s body fell to the ground not far away like a broken kite. He struggled for a few moments before fainting away.


    The rest of the people that wanted to attack Lin Tian suddenly stopped in their tracks.


    One by one, they stopped moving, while the crowd around them gasped, "Hiss hiss hiss."


    Although they could not believe it, the reality before their eyes told them that all of this was real. This brat had used his own body to smash apart the student who possessed the strength of the first level of the Aurous Core stage.


    As for Lin Tian, he only had a cultivation base at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Yang Pervert had wanted to find Gu Yan''er earlier, but now it seemed that he should first make a move on this brat.


    This kid was full of strangeness.


    "Die for me." Yang Sirius did not hesitate as the spirit energy in his hand churned. He ruthlessly sent a palm towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dodge. His body directly rushed towards that Yang Pervert.


    At the same time, countless primordial spirit thorns had already condensed within his Divine Palace.


    In the next moment, the Yuan Spirit Thorns crazily roared out.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. In the blink of an eye, streams of primordial spirit thorns arrived in front of Yang Sirius.


    Yang Sirius suddenly let out a mournful howl and then hugged his head. As for his palm landing on Lin Tian''s body, Lin Tian did not react at all.


    He used the God Transforming Steps again and moved forward. The green light in his hand trembled as the incomparably cold light of the dragon scale spear pierced through the chest of that perverted Yang wolf.


    A deep, unfathomable bullet wound immediately appeared in the chest of the perverted Yang Lang, and bright red blood immediately gushed out.


    The Yang pervert only felt his legs go soft, and then he fell limply to the ground.


    "Run!" When she saw that Lin Tian practically used lightning methods and in the blink of an eye, had heavily injured Yang Sirius, Ji Chunxue finally realized that he seemed to have provoked an existence that he could not afford to provoke.


    He subconsciously wanted to escape.


    But how could Lin Tian let him leave like this: "Want to run?"


    Lin Tian laughed, and using the God Transforming Steps, Lin Tian''s steps were like ghosts, instantly arriving in front of Ji Chunxue.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Ji Chunxue also painfully hugged her head. Although they were all Aurous Core stage existences, they were unable to deal with the attacks of the Symbol Techniques. Moreover, right now, Lin Tian was already at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    The first level of the Aurous Core Stage like Ji Chunxue and Yang Sirius, who had not reached the second level yet, was like killing a chicken with a cow-blade.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian''s palm landed on Ji Chunxue''s chest.


    Ji Chunxue''s body softly collapsed as well.


    He was also seriously injured.


    After two consecutive battles, Lin Tian had used less than a few breaths of time to finish off the two strongest people in the group.


    The rest of the people were even more foolish and knew that Lin Tian wasn''t someone they could defeat. They immediately scattered in all directions.


    But in the next moment, Lin Tian''s cold voice was heard: "Those who want to die, run. Those who don''t want to die, stand there obediently."


    When the crowd heard this voice, their hearts trembled. However, they did not move a single bit. Instead, they stood there motionlessly.


    "Yes, stand in formation. Accept them all. Do not leave a single one behind. Hand over your identity tokens." A moment later, such a strange scene appeared in front of room number eight.


    A group of older students obediently lined up and came before a student. They handed over their identity tokens and waited for that student to transfer the contribution points away before returning it to them.


    Not only that, the student who had transferred away their contribution points also said to them, "Come back in one month. The three with the least contribution points. I don''t mind letting you lie in bed for three months."


    Everyone nodded their heads obediently. No one dared to retort.


    None of them thought that they were here to rob these new students, but they didn''t expect that they would be robbed by this new student. Furthermore, it was a long term robbery, and they would come here to pay their contribution points once a month.


    "I lost big, I lost big ¡­" All the students felt their hearts bleeding.

 C186

    At this moment, Lin Tian was overjoyed in his heart. Unintentionally, Lin Tian had actually found a way to quickly earn contribution points.


    These seniors really did think of what he thought and was anxious about what he thought.


    They knew that Lin Tian was currently lacking contribution points, so they all came over to give it to him.


    The seniors who were robbed wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. However, when they saw the twitching Yang Sirius and Ji Chunxue lying on the ground, their hearts were filled with hatred and joy.


    They were currently filled with regret in their hearts. They should not have listened to those two people and tried to snatch these new students from them. In fact, before this, nothing unexpected had occurred until this new student called Lin Tian had appeared.


    The moment this brat appeared, two moves had directly destroyed the two leading perverts, Yang Perverts and Ji Chunxue.


    Of course, this was also the reason why they were secretly delighted. After all, compared to the two leaders, they didn''t have to lie on the ground and moan, nor did they have to lie in bed for three months afterwards.


    When Lin Tian had attacked just now, he hadn''t held back at all. He attacked with his strongest move.


    Ji Chunxue and that perverted Yang Lang probably wouldn''t be able to recover well before three months had passed.


    However, Lin Tian did not waste too much time here. In the martial arts practice field, Li Qingshan was still waiting for him.


    At the beginning, Lin Tian had paid off all their contribution points. But later, he felt that it was too troublesome, as it was completely delaying him. Thus, Lin Tian handed this matter over to Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er, who were watching in a daze as everything happened in a split-second just now.


    The three of them were responsible for recording down the names and other information of these students. After three months, they would still have to give Lin Tian contribution points.


    However, the three of them still happily continued with their work because Lin Tian would also give them a portion of the final contribution points.


    Swoosh. Lin Tian grabbed his own identity plate which already had 50,000 contribution points and directly returned to the martial arts practice field.


    At this moment, Li Qingshan still had a deadpan expression. Furthermore, he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, not paying any attention to the gazes of others.


    As for the people on the martial arts practice field, although they didn''t know what Lin Tian was doing, they were all standing on the spot, quietly waiting for Lin Tian''s return.


    Lin Tian''s body made a ''swoosh'' sound before returning to the martial stage.


    Li Qingshan seemed to have sensed it long ago. He opened his eyes and said to Lin Tian, "I will wait for a quarter of an hour for you."


    "I''ve been waiting for a long time." Lin Tian had an apologetic look.


    "It doesn''t matter. As long as you come back, I will wait. You are a person who keeps his word. Not bad, I admire you." It was rare for Li Qingshan to utter such words from his mouth.


    But before he could finish his sentence, Li Qingshan''s next sentence was: "However, if you make me wait too long, I won''t wait, because if I wait too long, I will get angry, and once I get angry, I will have the urge to kill someone, so you should be glad that you didn''t make me wait too long, so you didn''t make me angry, and I won''t have the impulse to kill you either. Otherwise, I can guarantee that you would already be a corpse by now. "


    Lin Tian quietly listened to Li Qingshan''s words. Li Qingshan''s words did not contain even the slightest bit of emotion, and what Li Qingshan had said was extremely strange, causing Lin Tian to be confused. However, Li Qingshan had said it in an extremely serious manner, and everyone in the audience also had a solemn expression.


    One could imagine that in the eyes of the masses, this Li Qingshan was the type of existence that could not be offended.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian was a bit curious. Who gave him the confidence?


    Why were all these students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky so strange? Lin Tian felt that Li Qingshan was completely insane from what he had just said.


    Yang Wang, who cultivated in the demonic path before, as well as that arrogant Nangong Fan who had his nose to the sky.


    All these people that could become the students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky seemed to have a bad habit of being arrogant.


    "Looks like I still have to deal with these so-called geniuses. Otherwise, if I were to speak like this, I would be beaten up when I go out." Lin Tian coldly laughed and didn''t waste any more words. His body slightly moved as he rushed towards Li Qingshan.


    The first strike came first. Lin Tian''s Heaven Collapsing Palm power instantly gathered in his hand. The monstrous Yuan Power surged. In the next moment, it had completely charged at Li Qingshan.


    "His strength is too weak!" Just as he was about to make his move, a slight ripple finally appeared on Li Qingshan''s face. However, his tone was still cold and indifferent.


    However, although his tone was cold, the kung fu in Li Qingshan''s hands remained the same.


    "Go!" Li Qingshan suddenly roared and then blasted a palm towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian felt an earth-shattering force, a terrifying palm force was frantically rushing at him.


    The power of his Heaven Collapsing Palm hadn''t even exploded yet, but that palm was already capable of shattering the Heaven Collapsing Palm as fast as a gale sweeping through fallen leaves.


    "What a tyrannical power." Such a violent and terrifying palm strike was somewhat unbearable for Lin Tian.


    Not only that, Li Qingshan''s seemingly weak palm had already completely crushed Lin Tian''s Sky Falling Palm. Moreover, it was wrapped with a violent and overbearing force as it once again shot towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s reaction was also extremely fast. His figure fiercely retreated, and only then was he able to avoid the power of the remaining palm.


    "We''ve met an opponent." Lin Tian slightly froze before retracting his heart from underestimating his opponent.


    Against Nangong Fan, Lin Tian used his physical body to defeat Nangong Fan. He met Yang Wang, and Lin Tian even relied on the power of his dragon blood to forcefully dissolve Yang Wang''s power of demonic cultivators.


    It wasn''t difficult to win these two battles, it also made Lin Tian underestimate his opponents.


    But now that he met Li Qingshan, Lin Tian''s underestimation of his enemy was completely restrained.


    If one thought about it, it made sense. To be able to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky and become a student of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, which one of them was not a genius, and which one was not a supreme expert?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian took a deep breath and began to slowly mobilize the strength in his body. He was going to take out 100% of his strength to fight with Li Qingshan.


    It was also at this moment that the Young Master, who had been spectating the entire battle, had a strange smile on his face.


    He had been spectating since the battle between Yang Wang and Lin Tian. Regarding Lin Tian''s body''s extremely positive power, that young master was only a little curious about Lin Tian''s identity, but he did not really see Lin Tian''s true strength. After all, if Lin Tian truly had extremely positive power, then it could be said that the heavens were Yang Wang.


    Now that he saw Li Qingshan''s tyrannical strength, that Young Master couldn''t help but mutter to himself: "Li Qingshan is just a mirror, so that I can clearly see this kid''s strength, I am somewhat looking forward to it. After all, after so many years, there hasn''t been a genius that caught my eyes, and the number of people that have managed to make me fight is even less. Boy, don''t disappoint me, just by defeating Li Qingshan, you are qualified to fight me ¡­"

 C187

    Currently, Lin Tian who was on the stage naturally couldn''t feel that young master''s mutterings. On the contrary, after he withdrew his mind, the power in his body began to gather once again. The swirl in his dantian rapidly rotated and very quickly, the condition around Lin Tian''s body was adjusted to its best.


    The whirlpool of Dantian was inherited from the dragon clan''s Dantian. Inside the whirlpool of Dantian, there was a drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence.


    After Lin Tian obtained this inheritance, his recovery speed was naturally beyond ordinary.


    Li Qingshan remained expressionless. The power in his body didn''t fluctuate too much. On the other hand, his palm had started to turn red.


    Lin Tian looked at the changes to Li Qingshan''s palm in astonishment. He hesitated in his heart, but didn''t make the first move.


    It was Li Qingshan who made the first move.


    "Whoosh!" With a whistling sound, Li Qingshan''s body, in the blink of an eye, disappeared from where he stood. In the next moment, his body had already arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    "Bam!" Li Qingshan''s pair of red hands, at this moment, were already swinging in a circle, and he suddenly blasted a palm towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not have time to react. He raised his palm and sent a palm towards Li Qingshan.


    "You''re the first person who dared to receive my palm strike like this." Li Qingshan''s face flashed with a trace of astonishment. He never thought that Lin Tian would actually want to exchange a palm strike with him.


    Lin Tian slightly froze, as if he didn''t quite understand what Li Qingshan meant.


    But in the next moment, he understood.


    This was because in the instant their palms met, Lin Tian felt Li Qingshan''s terrifying and terrifying strength.


    There seemed to be a power that could destroy everything in Li Qingshan''s palm.


    The power of one palm directly penetrated Lin Tian''s palm and then shook Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian''s palm trembled slightly. In the next moment, his sleeve also suddenly exploded into pieces.


    A monstrous force followed Lin Tian''s arm and directly penetrated Lin Tian''s body.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s figure flew out and continuously retreated dozens of steps before stabilizing his body.


    The power of one palm strike was already so terrifying.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian felt the vibrating power on his own body and frowned.


    For the first time, Lin Tian used his own body and could only withstand one palm from his opponent and was about to collapse.


    The strength of this Li Qingshan far surpassed his own strength. He was at the third level of the Aurous Core stage and was far more terrifying.


    Lin Tian had clearly seen the strength of Li Qingshan''s palm strike just now. That was to say, the palm strike Li Qingshan had sent out just now was not some martial arts technique, but a simple palm strike.


    But with just this one palm, it had almost completely blown Lin Tian into this state. How could he not shock Lin Tian?


    "That''s right!" At this moment, as Li Qingshan looked at Lin Tian, his brows revealed traces of admiration.


    This wasn''t ridicule, but Li Qingshan truly admired Lin Tian.


    Li Qingshan was a freak in the Northern Courtyard. He would either explode his opponent with one palm or be blasted apart with one palm strike. Li Qingshan''s battles had always been so simple and crude.


    With his strength at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm, Lin Tian had actually relied on his own body to withstand Li Qingshan''s palm strike. This caused Li Qingshan to admire Lin Tian greatly.


    "Try receiving another palm from me." Li Qingshan''s figure moved again. The red color on his palm was like raging flames that seemed to be able to incinerate an opponent.


    When such a palm once again wildly surged forward, Lin Tian had already long since been prepared.


    The whirlpool of Dantian healed Lin Tian''s body in the blink of an eye.


    And this time, Lin Tian also completely successfully condensed the Origin Spirit Spikes in his own Divine Palace.


    In the next moment, the Immortal Soul Piercing Fist filled the sky and madly rushed towards Li Qingshan like a rain.


    Li Qingshan did not react at all, as if he did not sense the power of the Immortal Soul Stinger. Instead, he increased the force of his palm and fiercely rushed towards Lin Tian.


    "Bang bang bang!" In an instant, Li Qingshan''s fist once again struck towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to be careless. This time, he adjusted his physical strength to its best, and only then did he dare to use his physical body to withstand Li Qingshan''s attack.


    But even so, the terrifying strength of Li Qingshan''s palm still made it difficult for Lin Tian to resist.


    This time, the clothes on Lin Tian''s upper body exploded bit by bit, and after that, the Huawei clothes completely shattered and scattered in the wind.


    As a result, his beautiful muscles were revealed and Lin Tian''s body was covered in a faint golden light. However, just as he received Li Qingshan''s palm, two bright red handprints appeared on Lin Tian''s chest.


    The two palm prints seemed to have been engraved on Lin Tian''s body. Not only that, at the place where the palm prints were located, Lin Tian''s muscles had caved in and he looked incomparably terrifying.


    When the audience saw this scene, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.


    These two people were not human at all!


    Li Qingshan actually possessed such terrifying and powerful strength, but the stronger Li Qingshan''s power was, the more one could tell that Lin Tian was not a human.


    He was actually able to use the strength of his physical body to withstand Li Qingshan''s palm strike.


    Furthermore, his chest had already caved in, yet he still acted as if nothing had happened.


    But even so, something even more terrifying happened.


    Everyone could clearly see that Lin Tian''s entire body was currently emitting a faint golden light. Under the enveloping of that golden light, the two areas where Lin Tian''s chest had caved in, were actually starting to bulge out. But in the blink of an eye, the collapsed muscles had once again become full.


    The palm that was originally bright red like blood gradually disappeared at this moment.


    The expression in the eyes of the young master standing below the stage froze.


    At this moment, a star chart that was as vast as the stars in the sky appeared once again in his eyes.


    Streams of star power circulated back and forth. In the next moment, the details of the battle between Lin Tian and Li Qingshan were deduced again.


    Strangely, the young master went back and forth dozens of times, but he still couldn''t figure out what had just happened.


    He did not know how Lin Tian had rapidly recovered his physical strength.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s Primordial Spirit Thorn also swiftly pierced through Li Qingshan''s body.


    However, although the Primordial Spirit Thorn''s power had completely landed on Li Qingshan''s body, Li Qingshan only frowned. Other than that, there wasn''t any other reaction.


    "How is this possible?" Lin Tian''s heart was also overwhelmed with shock. This was also the first time that he had used the Primordial Spirit Thorn without any effect.


    Moreover, this time, it was completely different from the time he faced Su Tian''s soulless monster. This Li Qingshan had a soul and was a normal person. But why was it that his Primordial Spirit Needle had no effect on a normal person?


    "Take another palm from me!" At the same time, Li Qingshan once again flew over. After two consecutive palm strikes, Lin Tian was completely unharmed. It had thoroughly aroused Li Qingshan''s competitive spirit.

 C188

    "Whew." Lin Tian took a deep breath and finally suppressed the shock in his heart.


    At this time, the main character of the Divine Palace was also silent.


    However, Lin Tian did not expect Horned Demon to give him any pointers. In the future, he would meet even stronger experts. If he continued to rely on others'' pointers, it would be impossible for him to become an expert in his entire life.


    Horned Demon also had this thought, so unless it was a last resort, he would never open his mouth.


    "Bam!" Another palm.


    On Lin Tian''s chest, two blood-red handprints once again appeared.


    But very quickly, the faint golden light that surged around Lin Tian''s body smoothed out the two palm prints again as if he had never experienced such power before.


    At this moment, Li Qingshan''s heart finally had a ripple.


    Three palm strikes. Lin Tian endured three palm strikes and was completely unharmed. Moreover, under his gaze, he forcefully recovered his physical strength.


    However, Li Qingshan also retracted his mind, gathered his strength, and once again struck out with his palm.


    "Bam!"


    Lin Tian used his own body to withstand Li Qingshan''s palm strike.


    The palm print appeared and vanished once again.


    "The fourth palm!"


    The fifth palm ¡­


    The sixth palm ¡­


    The seventh palm ¡­


    The eighth palm ¡­


    Before long, Li Qingshan had already sent out seven to eight palm strikes. Unfortunately, although these seven to eight palm strikes were stronger than one palm strike, in the end, Li Qingshan had used almost all of his strength.


    But from start to finish, he did not injure Lin Tian in the slightest.


    Lin Tian''s body was like a spring sponge. If it was hit down, it could once again grow back.


    At first, Li Qingshan''s face was expressionless, but later, he was astonished and puzzled, and then he became furious.


    But he couldn''t do anything about it. If this continued, the two of them might end up in a draw. Li Qingshan couldn''t do anything to Lin Tian, and Lin Tian was also powerless against Li Qingshan.


    However, this was not what he, Li Qingshan, wanted, nor was it what Lin Tian wanted.


    The only difference was that compared to Li Qingshan''s current face which was filled with anger, Lin Tian''s face unexpectedly revealed a trace of joy.


    Lin Tian''s body had unexpectedly changed.


    This change came from Lin Tian''s whirlpool of Dantian.


    Last night, Lin Tian had relied on the price of ten thousand high grade spirit stones to break through from the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm to the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Moreover, he had successfully condensed the Aurous Core from his whirlpool of dantian.


    Even though he had to continuously refine the Jindan until it was officially formed, it was still quite a feat to condense the Jindan.


    But in today''s battles, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that his nearly crazy and self-torturing method of fighting had actually urged the Jindan to accelerate its formation.


    Currently, the Jindan in Lin Tian''s body was not regular at the beginning, but now it was gradually changing, especially when he was fighting Li Qingshan.


    The whirlpool of dantian continuously extracted energy from the aurous core to restore Lin Tian''s body. At the same time, it also absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, devouring it into the whirlpool of dantian.


    After repeating this cycle for a long time, the Jindan within the dantian of the whirlpool was quickly sharpened to a point.


    It was precisely because of this change that Lin Tian did not counterattack and allowed Li Qingshan''s palm to strike his body.


    One strike from Li Qingshan could greatly reduce the time it took for him to completely condense the Aurous Core.


    It had to be known that from the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm to the genuine Aurous Core stage was only a small difference of one small realm, but during this process, not only did it take a lot of time, it also required a lot of hard work.


    But he didn''t expect that on Lin Tian''s side, the fight would solve almost all of his problems.


    It was at this moment that the change occurred in Lin Tian''s body.


    Within the whirlpool of dantian, it frantically devoured the surrounding Spiritual Aura. After which, it completely entered Lin Tian''s body. Waves after waves of Spiritual Aura entered his body and immediately began to wash away the Jindan within his Dantian.


    "This ¡­" Li Qingshan suddenly frowned. He seemed to have already figured out what Lin Tian was doing.


    The young master in the audience also looked at Lin Tian with doubt.


    "This is the tempo of a breakthrough!" The next moment, someone in the audience finally shouted this out.


    At this moment, the rest of the crowd also started to clamor.


    What kind of freak was this? He was about to advance to the Aurous Core stage in battle?


    The young master''s face was full of disbelief, but then, his eyes were filled with anticipation.


    He also wanted to see how incredible this kid, who was able to make others unable to believe him, was.


    Lin Tian had already felt the changes in his body, but at this moment, another problem arose.


    "Spirit stones!" Lin Tian needed a large amount of spirit stones.


    He knew how terrifying the whirlpool in his dantian was, and he also knew that if he wanted to break through, he would need a lot of resources and spirit stones to pass on his dragon bloodline.


    Other people might need tens of thousands of spirit stones to break through to the Aurous Core stage, but he needed at least ten times more than others.


    This was decided by the power of his inherited bloodline, Lin Tian had no other choice.


    Previously, he had obtained forty thousand high grade spirit stones from the Clear Pavilion. Later on, before Lin Tian left, Hua Ruoyi had also given him over ten thousand, as well as the Qingzhou Main Academy. They had given Lin Tian twenty thousand spirit stones for being the number one in the three rounds of the Qingzhou Trial and the reward for being on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    In other words, Lin Tian originally had seventy to eighty thousand spirit stones, but when he broke through yesterday, he had used ten thousand. Currently, he only had sixty thousand spirit stones on him.


    Not enough, absolutely not enough. This was a big gap.


    What should he do?


    Lin Tian was hesitating when he suddenly saw the identity token in his hand.


    "Got it, I''ll exchange it for spirit stones." Contribution points were the currency of the Northern Courtyard. With contribution points, one could exchange for any item, including spirit stones.


    However, it was too late to go to the Pavilion of Missions now. He needed to quickly settle down and cultivate with his current condition.


    Lin Tian thought for a moment and then threw his identity token at a certain student. He then said: "Everyone should know of my current situation, my identity token has 50,000 contribution points, but I do not have the time to exchange for spirit stones now. Which one of you has spirit stones, please deduct them from your contribution points and give me spirit stones.


    Only then did the crowd come back to their senses. They never thought that this student would actually break through to the Aurous Core stage.


    Saying this, Lin Tian looked at Li Qingshan apologetically: "Sorry, I might have to make you wait a bit longer."


    The next moment, he took out a spirit stone from his storage ring and said: "These ten thousand spirit stones will help you to breakthrough. If you succeed, you can just fight with me and win. You don''t have to return these ten thousand spirit stones.


    "Thank you very much." Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly grabbed the spirit stone, placing it around him.


    "I have a thousand here. I''ll transfer 2000 contribution points." A disciple also grabbed a pile of spirit stones from his storage ring and threw it in front of Lin Tian.


    Two contribution points could be exchanged for one high grade spirit stone. This was the price of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, so the student didn''t ask for too many contribution points from Lin Tian.


    "I have one here too. Not much. Five hundred contribution points. I''ll draw one thousand by myself." At the same time, another person spoke up.


    "I have three thousand."


    "Eight hundred!"


    In a short moment, the students below the field began to throw in their spirit stones.


    They all wanted to see how much more pleasant it would be for Lin Tian to surprise them. He was the first student in the entire history of the Northern Courtyard to choose to break through in the arena matches. Just this point alone was enough to make everyone excited.


    Even the Young Master at the side took out twenty thousand spirit stones and threw it directly at Lin Tian: "Consider it my gift, there is no need to return it."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled as his gaze turned towards that Young Master.


    The young master smiled, and the light in his eyes was indescribably bright.


    "Thank you very much." Lin Tian didn''t think too much and sat down cross-legged with all his heart. He began cultivating and was about to break through to the Aurous Core stage.

 C189

    Two contribution points could be exchanged for one high grade spirit stone. 50,000 contribution points were quickly exchanged for by the students. Of course, Lin Tian had just slightly glanced at it. He had completely relied on 50,000 contribution points to obtain close to 30,000 high grade spirit stones.


    This also proved how much the students had given him.


    In addition to the ten thousand Spirit Stones given by Li Qingshan and the twenty thousand Spirit Stones given by the unknown Young Master, he now had over sixty thousand Spirit Stones in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian originally still had over sixty thousand spirit stones on him, so if all was said and done, he had at least a few hundred thousand spirit stones.


    Even though he currently had several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, Lin Tian still did not have confidence. This was the first time that he needed such a large amount of Spirit Stones to break through.


    However, as things stood, it was useless even if he wanted to. Breakthroughs were like arrows on a bow, he had no choice but to make his move.


    Lin Tian''s whirlpool of dantian quickly rotated. A moment later, the pile of spirit stones in front of Lin Tian began to be swallowed by Lin Tian''s whirlpool of dantian at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the spirit stones quickly turned into dust and scattered with the wind.


    At this moment, everyone could clearly see the speed at which Lin Tian devoured the spirit stones. At the same time, they were also completely shocked by Lin Tian''s terror and terror.


    "Is ¡­ Is he even human?" Everyone looked at Lin Tian''s actions in disbelief.


    No one could have thought that Lin Tian''s rate of devouring spirit stones was so fast.


    The whale''s devouring could not even describe Lin Tian''s current condition. The spirit stones rapidly transformed into monstrous spirit energy as they crazily rushed into Lin Tian''s body.


    Currently, the whirlpool within Lin Tian''s body was rapidly rotating within his dantian, carrying the Spiritual Energy and quickly fusing it into the aurous core within the dantian.


    The Jindan that was originally in an irregular shape now quickly turned into a circular shape. The Essence that was originally surging in Lin Tian''s body turned into surging Yuan Power and quickly filled up Lin Tian''s entire body.


    The elemental energy turned into elemental energy. This was the beginning of the complete process of condensing into a golden core.


    When the Essence in Lin Tian''s body was completely converted into Origin Energy, it would also prove that Lin Tian had successfully reached the Aurous Core stage.


    "Swish, swish, swish." A sound of air waves rubbing against each other continuously came from Lin Tian''s body. It sounded very shocking.


    Not long after, the tens of thousands of Spirit Stones that were originally in front of Lin Tian had now completely turned into dust. On the stage, they had formed a thick layer of dust.


    At the same time, Lin Tian did not dare to be slow. With a thought, the stone tablet in his sea of consciousness immediately took out all of the spirit stones that Lin Tian had originally stored and turned them back into spirit energy for Lin Tian to break through.


    Spiritual Energy was like a large river, flowing rapidly in Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian felt that his entire body was filled with limitless energy, and even his Jindan began to tremble non-stop.


    In a short moment, the sixty thousand spirit stones that Lin Tian had originally stored were all completely absorbed by Lin Tian.


    But the Jindan seemed to have yet to take shape ¡­


    Lin Tian was extremely shocked in his heart. He didn''t think that he would underestimate the amount of spirit stones needed to reach the Aurous Core stage ¡­


    If there were no Spirit Stones, then wouldn''t his efforts have been for naught? This was not the most crucial point, the most crucial point was that the condition of Lin Tian''s body had already exceeded Lin Tian''s own control. If the breakthrough was not successful due to the Spirit Stones, then he would most likely have been affected by the backlash.


    After all, his whirlpool of dantian was already starting to move.


    The Jindan was also clashing against his dantian, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.


    "This ¡­" Lin Tian''s heart was extremely anxious and he was just about to call out for the people inside the Divine Manor.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt his dantian jumping.


    The dragon blood that was guarding the whirlpool''s dantian finally felt that something wasn''t right.


    At this time, the drop of pure dragon blood once again extracted a tiny bit of blood qi. The blood qi rushed out and entered the whirlpool of Dantian.


    Lin Tian''s whirlpool of Dantian shook violently. In the next moment, the blood Qi was absorbed by the golden core inside the whirlpool of Dantian.


    The Jindan, which was on the verge of forming, collapsed in an instant.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" In that instant, the sound of something shattering resounded throughout the surroundings of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.


    Everyone looked at Lin Tian in confusion. Their hearts were overwhelmed with shock: "He actually failed?"


    Lin Tian groaned. He felt something sweet in his throat, and then he suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood.


    He felt that his internal organs had suffered some injuries, but compared to that, what made Lin Tian feel more uncomfortable was that he had failed.


    He had actually failed to break through to the Aurous Core stage at the most crucial moment.


    After that strand of ancestral dragon''s blood rushed into Lin Tian''s dantian, not only was it unable to help Lin Tian completely stabilize the golden core in his body, on the contrary, within the ancestral dragon''s blood energy, an extremely terrifying power suddenly exploded out. It actually directly shattered the golden core that Lin Tian had painstakingly condensed.


    "Pfft." Lin Tian wanted to die, his Aurous Core had actually been forcefully shattered, this wasn''t some failure to break through to the Aurous Core, this was completely breaking the aurous core and Lin Tian wanted to reform it, maybe Lin Tian''s strength would even be greatly reduced because of this ¡­ ¡­


    But just as Lin Tian''s heart was about to die out, Horned Demon suddenly opened his mouth: "Brat, you still need to continue cultivating with this mentality of yours. Look, you can''t even take a small setback like this?"


    "But my Jindan ¡­" Lin Tian tried to defend himself.


    "Your Jindan, what happened to your Jindan?" Without waiting for Lin Tian to finish speaking, Horned Demon directly interrupted Lin Tian''s words and said: "Isn''t it in your whirlpool of dantian?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled, as he didn''t understand what Horned Demon meant.


    "Kid, take a good look." Horned Demon didn''t say anything and just let Lin Tian see for himself.


    Lin Tian did as he was told and inspected his dantian. Only then did he discover something else.


    At this moment, in Lin Tian''s whirlpool in his dantian, after the original golden core shattered, in the next moment, it actually slowly formed another golden core.


    However, this Jindan was completely different from the one that Lin Tian had just condensed. This Jindan was actually a dragon-shaped Jindan.


    A faint blood-red dragon pattern extended its claws and imprinted itself onto the aurous core. Originally, the golden core of a martial cultivator did not have any patterns, but now, the golden core in Lin Tian''s body was a dragon shaped golden core.


    However, this little red dragon was still too weak. It looked like a mini dragon.


    But even so, Lin Tian still felt waves of scorching and terrifying power from the aurous core of his dantian. Vaguely, Lin Tian felt that the power from the aurous core in his body was almost enough to destroy the heaven and earth, to destroy everything!


    At this time, within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, the Hornless Laughter''s voice once again rang out: "Brat, did you see? What you condensed was my Dragon Clan''s Jindan. It''s my Dragon Clan''s inner core!"


    "From today onwards, you will embark on the path of cultivation for the Dragon clan. You will also officially become a member of our Dragon clan!"

 C190

    Just as Horned Demon said this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but raise his head and roar at the sky.


    "Moo!"


    Lin Tian''s voice was not something that a human''s voice could utter, nor was it a demon beast''s. Even a demon beast couldn''t make such a sound. All in all, this roar was exceptionally terrifying to the onlookers.


    But at the same time, after Lin Tian angrily roared, the sky was suddenly filled with dense black clouds and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.


    Not long later, the entire sky had turned pitch black.


    At this moment, everyone looked at the sky with incredulous expressions. They did not know why such a phenomenon would suddenly appear in the world.


    Could it be because Lin Tian had successfully formed the golden core and created such an abnormal phenomenon?


    Only, what sort of change had happened to Lin Tian?


    Everyone couldn''t figure it out and could only stare blankly at the sky and then at Lin Tian on the stage.


    After Lin Tian let out that angry roar, the Horned Demon noticed that something wasn''t right.


    It did not hesitate at all. Then, it suddenly spat out a power from its mouth and rushed towards the sky.


    In the blink of an eye, the power of the Dragon Soul dispelled the phenomenon in the sky.


    Everything vanished like smoke into thin air. It was as though nothing had ever happened.


    In the sky, there was once again a cloudless sky, as though nothing had happened.


    The crowd was even more astonished, unable to make sense of the situation.


    But Lin Tian felt the change in the Horned Demon''s body. At this moment, the Dragon Soul Body inside the Divine Manor quickly became transparent, just like the first time Lin Tian saw a Horned Dragon.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian did not understand. He was about to ask something.


    But Horned Demon spoke first, "Boy, I know what you are thinking, but remember, no matter what, don''t show off your dragon race''s power to others. Otherwise, it will bring endless troubles to your future cultivation!"


    With that, Horned Demon continued, "Just now, your roar had already affected the destiny of the world. I believe that trouble will arrive soon. However, I have blocked out the heaven and earth, so they won''t be able to notice us for a while."


    "However, boy, you have to work even harder. I''m afraid that with my strength, I won''t be able to protect you very soon. At that time, it will all be up to you."


    Horned Demon seemed to be explaining something later. Lin Tian''s eyebrows immediately wrinkled: "You, are you okay?"


    From today onwards, you are an official member of my Dragon race, and the blood essence you absorbed from the Ancestral Dragon has already reached 1%. Next, you have to work harder to fuse with 10% of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence, and when that time comes, I will have no worries for you, you also have enough strength to protect yourself, even if you meet ''them'' ¡­


    "They?" Lin Tian was even more startled, but without waiting for Lin Tian to ask another question, the Horned Demon disappeared from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and no longer moved.


    Lin Tian digested a bit before roughly guessing the meaning of Horned Demon''s words. But Lin Tian also knew that Horned Demon must have some shocking big secret that he was hiding from him, but it was only right that he was hiding it now. After all, with Lin Tian''s current strength, he still could not touch upon these secrets.


    However, since he had successfully condensed the dragon clan''s golden core, then there was nothing to worry about. As long as Lin Tian continuously worked hard at cultivating, there would be a day when all of these secrets would be revealed.


    Lin Tian''s body was currently boiling hot. With the formation of the dragon clan''s golden core, not only had Lin Tian''s strength greatly increased, even Lin Tian''s physical strength had been refined once more.


    Not long after, Lin Tian suddenly felt his entire body itch. In the next moment, blood-red transparent scales began to grow on Lin Tian''s body.


    However, this situation continued for a moment before it disappeared again.


    The surprise and astonishment of the crowd grew even stronger.


    "This, this is a beast warrior?" Someone exclaimed in disbelief.


    Just now, they had all seen that on Lin Tian''s physical body, there were actually scales that could only be found on demon beasts ¡­


    But luckily, most of the students who were able to enter the Northern Courtyard were experienced and knowledgeable, and knew about the sky spirit body geniuses. Now that they saw the scales that had just appeared on Lin Tian''s body, they thought that Lin Tian was some kind of beast martial artist.


    Li Qingshan''s face suddenly revealed a trace of seriousness. This was the first time he felt that Lin Tian''s strength was terrifying.


    This was the true opponent!


    At this moment, the spirit energy within Lin Tian''s body was like a surging river, vast and mighty as it filled Lin Tian''s surroundings.


    He felt as if he possessed an inexhaustible power.


    The next moment, Lin Tian suddenly stood up: "Sorry for making you wait so long. Next up, let''s finish the battle that we still haven''t finished!"


    Lin Tian''s blood boiled. The Jindan in his dantian currently provided endless soul force, quickly adjusting the strength of Lin Tian''s body to its best.


    As for Lin Tian''s physical body, it was currently shining with a golden light. It looked like a war god had descended.


    Li Qingshan smiled lightly and said, "Alright!"


    In the next moment, Li Qingshan ferociously pounced towards Lin Tian. The monstrous force of his palm followed in the next moment. A scorching and terrifying heat was emitted from his red palm, as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth.


    The strength of one palm ruthlessly shot towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dodge at all. His body moved forward and the speed of the God Transforming Steps reached its peak. He was like a ghost as he arrived in front of Li Qingshan in the blink of an eye.


    "Whoosh!" Li Qingshan''s palm attack was mysteriously grabbed by Lin TianAo, and he was unable to take another step forward.


    What was even more terrifying was that in the next moment, Lin Tian actually forcefully grabbed onto Li Qingshan''s palm and fiercely lifted him up.


    Li Qingshan was overwhelmed with shock. He couldn''t believe that Lin Tian actually had such power.


    However, his body was still in the air, and he had no choice but to believe it.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body squatted down slightly. Then, under a sudden burst of energy, he leaped high into the air, flying along with Li Qingshan''s body.


    "Whoosh!" Another air-piercing sound rang out. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body had already fiercely crashed down from high above.


    However, Li Qingshan''s body had already been stepped on by Lin Tian.


    "Bam!" Li Qingshan''s body smashed fiercely onto the Martial Arts Practice Field.


    Even the martial arts practice field made of special stone couldn''t withstand this level of power. In the next moment, it was completely shattered into several pieces, becoming nothing more than a pile of rubble.


    As for Li Qingshan, his body softly fell to the side. Occasionally, he would twitch and spit out a mouthful of blood before fainting.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, wasn''t injured in the slightest. The strength of his body was incomparably majestic, and his blood rushed into the sky.


    One move!


    Lin Tian, who had broken through to the Aurous Core stage, had killed Li Qingshan in one move.


    It could be said that Lin Tian, who had broken through to the Aurous Core stage, was at least a hundred times stronger than before!


    Lin Tian slowly stood up: "The 83rd place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, Lin Tian. What other students are not satisfied and want to challenge him?"


    The sound echoed around the Martial Arts Practice Grounds, causing the surrounding people to feel pain in their ears.

 C191

    For a moment, everyone was stunned into silence. No one uttered a single word.


    After three consecutive rounds, the first battle of the 97th level of the Proclamation of Azure Sky had caused Nangong Fan to be blown away by Lin TianAo. In the second match, the 93rd ranked Hades was also severely injured by Lin Tian, and he was still unconscious and had yet to awaken.


    And against Nangong Fan and Yang Wang, Lin Tian was only at the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    But right now, Lin Tian had already broken through to the Aurous Core stage. When he was facing the eighty-ninth place Li Qingshan, Lin Tian could even do it in seconds.


    With such strength, who wouldn''t want to challenge him?


    However, the seniors were a little doubtful. Was this kid really a newcomer? To think that there would be such a heaven defying existence among the newcomers. They, the seniors, were truly disgraced ¡­


    However, right at this moment, the young man in the crowd had arrived at the arena.


    Although the ring had been broken into several sections, the area in the middle was still intact.


    That Young Master''s figure lightly walked out from the crowd and then directly walked towards the arena. Of course, he was in front of Lin Tian.


    The crowd watched in astonishment as that gongzi walked out and then walked towards Lin Tian. For a moment, the scene was actually boiling.


    Everyone looked at the young master with fervent expressions.


    It was actually him!


    It''s really him, he''s back!


    This monster is back!


    In an instant, emotions surged from the crowd as soon as they saw the young master. They were all excited, nervous, excited, worried, afraid, and elated.


    None of them knew how to express their feelings at the moment.


    It was none other than that young master who had given them such an emotion.


    Ji Fangge!


    "It''s Ji Fang Ge!"


    Finally, when a certain student could not help but call out that name, all the students shouted, "Ji Fang Ge, Ji Fang Ge!"


    The only genius in the Northern Courtyard that could compete with the East and South Academies.


    This was the first student of the Northern Courtyard to become a monster in a thousand years.


    Top ten in the potential rankings. Dragons and phoenixes among the crowd. Ji Fangge!


    All the names added together could not compare to Ji Fangge''s other name in Tian Luo.


    "White clothed saint son!"


    The white-clothed saint son, Ji Fangge, got his name because of his white clothes. The reason he was called the saint son was because Ji Fangge possessed the heart of a saint.


    Sacred Heart!


    The so-called Sacred Heart was actually a form of talent, or perhaps a form of talent.


    Ji Fangge''s heart was a rare pure heart. With this nature, as long as he cultivated, he was almost certain that he would become a saint someday.


    Saint realm!


    On the path of martial arts, early qi cultivation, the opening of the Qi Sea, the condensation of the Jindan, the transformation of the Stellar River, the birth of life and death, the knowledge of good fortune, the Emperor, the Conferred God, the Divine Realm of the Heavens and the Earth, the supreme Divine King.


    This mnemonic chant was referring to the cultivation realms of Sky Dragon Continent, but in reality, the Divine King realm could not be considered a realm. It was a form of address that no one had ever seen a Divine King realm expert, not even in the legends.


    Therefore, the cultivators on the Sky Dragon Continent believed that the God Realm was the end of cultivation!


    Apart from the Divine King realm, there were the Qi Cultivation, Qi Sea, Jindan, Stellar River, Life and Death, Fortune, Emperor, Saint, and God Realms. They had a total of nine realms, also known as the Nine Extreme Realms.


    Anyone who could reach the ninth level of the Astral Realm was considered a supreme expert in the Tian Luo Kingdom. They could be called kings, and were the kings of an entire country.


    It was easy to imagine how powerful the eighth realm of the Nine Extreme Realms would be if he could reach the sage realm.


    As for this white-robed saint, Ji Fangge was one!


    Ji Fangge had the potential to break through to the sage realm, and the potential to become a saint.


    He had the heart of a saint, which was why he was called the Son of Heaven.


    The Northern Courtyard had been weak for many years, but their strength was still inferior to the East and South Sects.


    However, only Ji Fangge was present, and the top experts of the East and South Courtyard did not dare to underestimate the North Courtyard.


    Ji Fang could show them all the colors.


    However, no matter how big the title was, Lin Tian didn''t really understand him. However, he still recognized Ji Fang Ge.


    This young master was the young master who gave him the twenty thousand spiritual stones earlier, the same young master who didn''t even need to return the money.


    Actually, after Ji Fangge gave Lin Tian 20,000 Spirit Stones, Lin Tian still looked at Ji Fangge, but with that one look, Lin Tian was able to see the terrifying part of Ji Fangge.


    However, Lin Tian did not think too much about it at that time because breaking through was more important.


    This time, this Ji Fangge suddenly walked onto the stage. Lin Tian was a bit surprised.


    "I called Ji Fang Ge." Ji Fangge''s voice was faint, but it sounded much more gentle. It did not sound arrogant or domineering at all.


    "Lin Tian!" Lin Tian also indifferently said.


    Lin Tian then looked up and down at Ji Fangge and asked, "You''re challenging me right?"


    "Right, that''s not right either." Ji Fangge spoke again.


    Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t seem to understand what he meant, Ji Fangge patiently explained, "Yes, it''s because I really want to challenge you. After so many years, an opponent has finally appeared in the Northern Courtyard that makes my eyes light up. I''m very excited."


    No, that''s not right, because I don''t want to challenge you now. I just came back from a mission, one, I have to turn in my mission, and two, I''m a bit tired, so I want to rest for a while. Although I really want to fight with you now, I also know that you just broke through to the Aurous Core stage.


    "You are an opponent worthy of my serious treatment, so I will definitely not fight with you in such a hasty manner. I think if we don''t set a time, I really want to have a good battle ¡­"


    Ji Fang''s tone was filled with appreciation for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "You''re right. I can also feel that you''re very strong. Fighting with you should be very interesting. However, if it''s time, you decide."


    Good, you new students, after three months, you will participate in the Freshmen Competition, which will be held jointly by the four great academies of East, West, and North. At that time, it will also be time for you to have the qualifications to challenge the Proclamation of Azure Sky. He continued, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I am only ranked tenth on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. There are also a lot of disgusting people ahead of me, but this is the same ranking as two years ago, this time, I don''t think I will be ranked tenth."


    "I''ll wait for you then." Ji Fangge''s eyes emitted a dazzling light as he smiled and said to Lin Tian.


    "Alright, I''ll see you in three months." Lin Tian agreed without hesitation.


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving first." Ji Fang Ge shrugged his shoulders and prepared to leave.


    "Thank you for the twenty thousand spirit stones." Lin Tian thanked him.


    However, Ji Fangge shook his head. In the next moment, his body suddenly disappeared as if he had never appeared before.

 C192

    Actually for Lin Tian, Ji Fang Ge''s appearance was just an interlude. Originally, Lin Tian hadn''t thought he would meet him.


    However, regardless of whether they were here or against Nangong Fan or Yang Wang, or even Li Qingshan and Lin Tian, they all came up with the idea.


    After all, he had come to the Northern Courtyard with a halo. Who told him to be the first person in a thousand years to bring in a rank 6 student, or even a rank 83 on the Proclamation of Azure Sky?


    Thinking about it, with his status as a new student directly ranked eighty-third on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, how could he not attract the attention of other students?


    Since he had attracted the attention of the other students, he would naturally be targeted by them.


    Thus, in his heart, Lin Tian was actually prepared, but this Ji Fang Ge was an accident.


    Ji Fangge was ranked # 10 on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. In fact, his ranking was even higher than that freak of the East Branch, Wang Tianfang.


    Back then, Wang Tian Fang had said that his ranking was only at the seventeenth rank.


    When Lin Tian was at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, he had already fought with Wang Tian Fang. That was because when Wang Tian Fang said that if Lin Tian could withstand ten moves from him, he would admit to his position as the 83rd person on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Lin Tian very easily endured through ten moves from Wang Tian and didn''t feel that it was difficult at all. On the contrary, in Lin Tian''s heart, Lin Tian felt that if he had risked his life, Wang Tian Fang and he might not have won or lost.


    However, today, when he was facing this Ji Fang Ge, Lin Tian felt a bit of pressure.


    Although it was called pressure, it was actually also called motivation. Lin Tian actually described how he felt right now.


    When he met Ji Fang''s eyes, Lin Tian''s own eyes were also hiding a fervent desire for victory.


    In Ji Fang Ge''s eyes, Lin Tian also saw this kind of expression.


    In other words, in some ways, the two of them were the same existence.


    Under his gentle appearance, there was an unyielding heart.


    Lin Tian had also learned a lot from Ji Fang Ge''s gaze. However, what Lin Tian didn''t know was that Ji Fang Ge''s heart of a naked child was also because of this look. Lin Tian gradually began to have some changes in his understanding of the heart of martial arts.


    The crowd dispersed from the martial arts practice field. However, the shock that this new student brought to them had already taken root in their hearts.


    No one dared to underestimate this new disciple called Lin Tian.


    Especially Shangguan Tu. In his place, Shangguan Tu didn''t even blink as he watched Lin Tian''s battles. Right now, he only had one word for Lin Tian.


    Submit!


    Before, he still had the thought of taking revenge on Lin Tian to get back at him, but now, that thought was completely gone.


    He did not want Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, and Li Qingshan to be seriously injured by Lin Tian and be bedridden for three months.


    Nangong Fan had been destroyed by Lin Tian''s one palm strike, while Yang Wang and Li Qingshan had also been severely injured by Lin Tian. Without three months of rest, they really wouldn''t be able to recover.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. Right now, the more important thing was to stabilize his own realm.


    He had just broken through to the Aurous Core stage, and this was the most crucial moment. Moreover, he had already made a name for himself by defeating the three students of the Northern Courtyard on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Who would challenge him again in a short period of time?


    The 50,000 contribution points he''d originally received had all been used up by him, so earning contribution points had become a top priority.


    Moreover, Ji Fang Ge had told Lin Tian an even more important piece of news.


    It was the Freshmen Rites, so Lin Tian had to work even harder in the next three months.


    The Freshman Ceremony was Lin Tian''s main focus for a period of time.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly returned to room A.


    Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er were already waiting in the room. The contribution points that the perverted Yang Lang and Ji Chunxue had brought with them had all been stolen by them.


    Counting the total, he still had nearly 10,000 contribution points.


    Ten thousand contribution points, the three of them had saved two thousand each. As for the remaining four thousand, they were all given to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was not polite. After deducting the contribution points to his identity plate, he brought Gu Yan''er and the others to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    The Northern Courtyard had built more than ten abode in an excellent Feng Shui place in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    This was the cave that only the students of the Northern Courtyard and those of the Proclamation of Azure Sky could own.


    There were powerful Symbol Array Masters within. They had set up an extremely powerful Spiritual Concentration Formation, and they had gathered all the Spiritual Energy in the world into their cave abode.


    The Spiritual Energy inside was at least a hundred times richer than outside.


    This was the benefit of being a powerful student, and also the symbol of being a student of the inner courtyard.


    But right now, Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, and Li Qingshan had already been defeated by Lin Tian. Naturally, they had also been disqualified by Lin Tian.


    The three Immortal''s caves were number seven, eight, and nine.


    Lin Tian occupied the seventh cave, while Du Feng and Fang Xing occupied the eighth cave. As for Gu Yan''er, she occupied the ninth cave by herself.


    Du Feng and the other two directly chose to close up. After all, their strength and Lin Tian''s strength were now completely pulled apart.


    Lin Tian was now in the Aurous Core stage, while Du Feng and Fang Xing were still around the eighth level of the Qi Hai realm. As for Gu Yan''er, she was only around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    Lin Tian was simply a freak and he simply didn''t know how he cultivated. In just ten or so days of hard work, his cultivation realm was slowly rising.


    Before, he was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm, but now, he was at the Aurous Core stage.


    With Lin Tian''s speed of breakthrough, it had also stimulated them. After they had settled in the cave, they had all closed their doors.


    Lin Tian also closed his eyes.


    At this moment, the higher ups of the Northern Courtyard had all gathered at the highest level of the Mission Pavilion.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian had a face full of smiles as he looked at the few upper echelons of the Northern Courtyard sitting there. He then smiled and said: "I don''t know. Have you all heard of that boy called Lin Tian?"


    The Vice Principal of the Northern Courtyard, Li Feng, smiled and said, "I''ve long heard that he was the first student of the Azure Province''s history to be a Heaven''s Pride at the sixth rank. Moreover, he entered the 83rd place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky as a new student."


    "Not only that ¡­" The next moment, a person who looked like a teacher suddenly spoke up.


    At this moment, Zhang Feng was smiling as he looked at Li Feng and said: "I say, Vice Principal, you''re bad enough. When Lin Tian arrived, you already passed his place as the 83rd place teacher to all the students of the Northern Courtyard. You''re deliberately making him famous..."


    "Hehe, since he was selected for the Proclamation of Azure Sky, he naturally has to accept the test. Besides, I''m only speaking the truth, if his rank 83 doesn''t have any water, then it''s natural that he isn''t afraid of the test, and isn''t afraid of others coming to cause trouble ¡­" Li Feng had a kind smile.


    Yang Qingtian smiled and interrupted their conversation, "However, after experiencing so many battles, we can at least see his potential now. Honestly speaking, when we were at the Azure Province Headquarters back then, I didn''t think he was someone from the same group as us. Now, it seems that is the case."


    "Do you know why he chose our Northern Courtyard?" At this moment, Yang Qingtian suddenly turned around and asked everyone.


    "I don''t know ¡­" Zhang Feng, Li Feng, and the other teachers all shook their heads.


    "He''s Xiao Yunhai''s disciple!" Yang Qingtian said in shock.


    "What?! Xiao Yunhai''s disciple!" Li Feng was obviously shocked as well. He smacked his lips and asked again with uncertainty, "Then, isn''t he Gu Qingyuan''s grand disciple?"


    "Exactly." Yang Qingtian faintly smiled, "When these students chose to enter the academy, this brat did not hesitate to directly choose the Northern Courtyard. And because of this, we, the Northern Courtyard, even recruited a few students with decent strength."


    No wonder. Since he''s a disciple of Xiao Yunhai, it''s not strange that he would choose the Northern Courtyard." "Everyone present knew that Xiao Yunhai was a student of the Northern Courtyard back then. However, the Northern Courtyard was still a very powerful branch of the Northern Courtyard, and because of Xiao Yunhai, the Northern Courtyard declined in the end.


    Of course, it couldn''t completely pin the Northern Courtyard''s decline onto Xiao Yunhai''s head, but it was more or less related to Xiao Yunhai.


    But now that Xiao Yunhai''s disciple had chosen the Northern Courtyard, everyone couldn''t help but think about it.


    Yang Qingtian saw everyone fall into silence, then he smiled: "At that time, I was at the Green Province headquarters, and witnessed Lin Tian''s battles again and again. It can be said that he can be considered a legend, so I am a little curious, just how much more of a surprise will this child give us?"


    "I''m curious too." Li Feng lightly smiled.


    "Me too." Zhang Feng also said.


    After a moment, he said: "I have heard about this too, but I am more curious about what kind of martial arts this child would choose if he were to enter the Martial Arts Hall ¡­"


    The old man who said this was the martial arts instructor of the Northern Courtyard, Qian Jue.


    The moment Qian Jue said this, Yang Qingtian, Zhang Feng, and Li Feng were slightly startled, but they immediately laughed out loud: "That''s alright. In a few days, we''ll just wait and see."


    I''m really looking forward to it!


    Yang Qingtian''s eyes were filled with joy.


    But at this moment, a person who looked like a servant suddenly came here. He then said softly to the crowd, "Reporting to the dean, teachers, Ji Fangge requests an audience!"


    "Hmm?" Yang Qingtian slightly smiled, "The song is back. Quickly let him in."


    The others were excited to hear that Ji Fang had returned. They would never hesitate to show their love to a genius like Ji Fang Ge.


    "Songs greets the two principals and the coaches." Not long after, Ji Fangge walked up and greeted everyone.


    "Forget it, forget it. Take a seat." Yang Qingtian kindly said.


    Ji Fangge sat down and then said, "This mission was quite smooth. Headmasters and coaches, please rest assured. Just now, I discovered that an interesting genius has arrived at the Northern Courtyard. My eyes lit up."


    "Oh?" Li Feng''s eyes sparkled. "Someone who could make you say such words must not be a weakling. At the very least, he must be a monstrous existence. Who is it?"


    "He said his name is Lin Tian." Ji Fangge smiled and replied.


    "So it''s him." The crowd burst into laughter.

 C193

    Lin Tian did not know anything about the outside world. He was currently completely immersed in cultivation.


    He had just formed his Aurous Core, and the first thing he needed to do now was to continue refining the aurous core in order to thoroughly stabilize his Aurous Core stage strength.


    Secondly, he had to start tempering the power of his soul once again.


    Lin Tian had inherited the Ancestral Dragon blood essence, so he didn''t have any weaknesses when it came to cultivation.


    No matter if it was the physical body, elemental energy, or soul, they all advanced side by side.


    Breaking through to the next realm would often be accompanied by an increase in strength, a leap in one''s physical body, and the continuous materialization of the soul.


    Without any shortcoming in cultivation, Lin Tian''s strength had always been unrivalled within the same realm of martial cultivation. Even fighting against opponents at a higher realm was an extremely simple matter.


    Of course, there was a drawback. The drawback was Lin Tian''s breakthrough. It required a long time and a large amount of resources.


    Although the spirit stones were exhausted, Lin Tian still had to store some spirit crystals.


    Although these were all low grade spirit crystals, it was enough to help Lin Tian stabilize his cultivation.


    Lin Tian took out the spirit crystal from the stone monument''s space and placed it in front of himself.


    Streams of boundless Spiritual Energy rushed out from the stone tablet space and were completely devoured by the stone tablet space. After which, they continuously refined the Jindan within Lin Tian''s body.


    The aurous core became firmer and firmer.


    The little dragon that occupied the Aurous Core Stage was also growing stronger. Its body was bright red, and it actually looked as if it was alive.


    After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding spiritual energy, as well as the spiritual energy within the spiritual crystal in front of him was completely devoured by Lin Tian. Only then did Lin Tian spit out a long, white, long dragon like mist.


    Level one of the Golden Core Realm.


    At this time, the soul force in Lin Tian''s body was like a large river, unceasingly surging within his body. It flowed through a meridian and spread to every part of his body, nourishing his organs.


    The tempering and tempering of his fleshly body increased his strength and toughness.


    Under this situation, Lin Tian turned and started to cultivate his own Spirit power.


    Before Lin Tian had established his Divine Manor, he had cultivated the Dragon Clan''s mental secret technique ¡ª¡¶ Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture¡·!


    The < Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture > was a cultivation method that had been practiced throughout the path of talismans. It was the dragon clan''s spiritual power cultivation method.


    However, ever since Lin Tian opened the Divine Manor, he very rarely had time to specifically cultivate his own Spirit power.


    This was because his soul would continuously improve with Lin Tian''s strength.


    But after all, rune dao and martial arts were two different concepts of power. Lin Tian had put it aside for too long, so it wasn''t good.


    Moreover, his previous breakthroughs had been built up by killing other Symbol Masters and continuously breaking through after devouring the soul of another Symbol Master. This had been a hidden danger in the first place.


    So Lin Tian just so happened to use this opportunity to completely remove this hidden danger.


    On the path of talismans, starting from the opening of the Castrum Divinitus, one could already be considered a genuine talisman master.


    However, the Symbol Masters who had just opened the Divine Manor could only be considered low-grade Symbol Masters. Above them were mid-grade Symbol Masters and high-grade Symbol Masters.


    Lin Tian was now a high-grade Symbol Master.


    Above the upper ranked Symbol Masters were Spirit Symbol Masters, Earth Symbol Masters, Heavenly Symbol Masters, Royal Symbol Masters, Saint Symbol Masters, and Divine Symbol Masters.


    There were a total of nine realms, which were also known as the nine levels of Symbol Masters, corresponding to the Nine Extreme Realms of martial arts cultivation in the Sky Dragon Continent.


    However, low-rank Symbol Masters, mid-rank Symbol Masters, and high-rank Symbol Masters were in fact the basics.


    Only those who had truly reached the level of a Soul Symbol Master could be considered to have a solid foundation in the path of talismans.


    The standard for a spirit runemaster was to condense a Destiny Symbol.


    The Destiny Symbol was the source of a Symbol Master''s strength. Just like a cultivator''s aurous core, the aurous core would not dissipate and the elemental energy would not run out. The same was true for the spirit Symbol Master.


    Lin Tian felt that he was only one step away from becoming a spirit runemaster.


    So Lin Tian had once again summoned the¡¶ Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture¡·!


    The < Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture > was the dragon clan''s secret spiritual arts cultivation method. From the most basic method of opening the Divine Manor to the final Divine Symbol Master cultivation method, everything was clearly recorded.


    The¡¶ Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture¡· was hidden in the Ancient Dragon Symbol between Lin Tian''s divine soul.


    At this moment, Lin Tian''s soul, which had been summoned again by Lin Tian, suddenly felt a slight tremble between his eyebrows. The Ancient Dragon Rune on his Ancient God Symbol released a powerful glow, in the next moment, that Ancient Dragon Rune immediately swallowed and released a transparent dragon. The moment the dragon pattern appeared, Lin Tian felt his mind gently tremble as chants appeared in his mind.


    "Condensing Destiny Symbol into spirit runes, becoming a spirit rune, not destroying spirit runes, not dispersing strength ¡­" One chant after another rushed into Lin Tian''s mind, causing him to begin to restrain his mind and enter into a state of cultivation.


    But after a while, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes.


    It wasn''t because of anything else, but because Lin Tian had encountered a problem.


    According to the Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture, in order to condense a Destiny Symbol, one had to carve out the power of their own symbol on the forehead.


    Lin Tian couldn''t condense it at all. After all, the symbol in the center of his forehead was an archaic dragon symbol that was transformed from the reverse scales of an Ancestral Dragon.


    The power of such a rune, how could he possibly expel it from his soul?


    However, if he didn''t expel it, then his soul would already have the Destiny Symbol between his eyebrows. He wouldn''t be able to temper the Destiny Symbol on his own.


    Like this, Lin Tian immediately fell into a dilemma. For a moment, he didn''t know what to do.


    Just as Lin Tian was hesitating, a weak voice entered his ears: "Kid, how hard is this? The Ancient Dragon Rune is already between your eyebrows, it can already be considered your own Destiny Symbol. Moreover, you originally inherited the Ancestral Dragon Blood, so these two things are not contradictory at all, so why should you worry?"


    "Hornless?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he immediately rejoiced in his heart. He originally thought that the Horned Demon would be sleeping for a long time, but he didn''t expect that he would wake up so quickly.


    "I can''t hold on for too long." Horned Demon seemed to understand Lin Tian''s thoughts and directly replied. It was just that his voice was filled with a strong sense of exhaustion.


    "Kid, you must remember clearly that you must not reveal the existence of the dragon clan''s inheritance in front of anyone. Otherwise, it will be bad news for both you and me." Hornless once again warned.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. After he had broken through to the Aurous Core stage, the strange phenomenon he had caused also caused Lin Tian to think of something else.


    It was at that time, when Lin Tian obtained the ancestral dragon blood essence inheritance, in the sky far above the ninth heaven, a voice filled with killing intent suddenly rang out: "Insolent dragon, you actually dare to appear, die!"


    Then, from the void nine heavens, a terrifying battle sound seemed to erupt.


    It was also because of this that Lin TianAo felt that the dragon inheritance he had obtained was not that simple.


    However, Horned Demon kept these things to himself and didn''t reveal any information. So naturally, Lin Tian had no way of knowing what it was.


    However, after he had successfully formed the golden core, he let out a furious roar towards the sky. He must have attracted the attention of something, which must have caused this phenomenon.


    Hornless must have consumed a large amount of Dragon Soul''s power in order to hide the Heavenly Secrets. Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel somewhat guilty.


    "Brat, you don''t have to be so guilty, you know that you are more important than me, my mission is to support you, and when you are on the path of martial arts, when you are trying your best, you must protect yourself, because, boy, what I said is the truth, the future hope of the dragon race is all on you, I can die, my soul will vanish, but you must live well, and promise me!" At this moment, Horned Demon''s tone was full of unspeakable seriousness.


    Lin Tian firmly nodded his head: "Relax, if I, Lin Tian, didn''t have you, I would have already died at the bottom of that day''s Green Cliff Mountain. How could I still have today''s achievements? I always remember what you said to me, and I know my mission. "


    Only then did Horned Demon relax, and he began to laugh and cry, "The power of my Dragon Soul can''t last for too long, and this is only when you summon the ? Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture ? again. The power of the Dragon Soul Scripture has stimulated me, causing me to come back to my senses."


    "So, the most important thing right now is to solve the problem you''re facing right now." Horned Demon weakly smiled and said.


    "En!" Lin Tian nodded his head, his most important problem right now was still the Destiny Symbol.


    "Like I said before, you have already inherited everything about the dragon race, including the power of your bloodline, the power of your divine soul, and even obtained treasures like the Ancient Dragon Symbol. Therefore, you don''t have to think too much about the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol right now, you don''t have to worry about getting close to it to condense another Destiny Symbol. You only need to use the Ancient Dragon Symbol as your Destiny Symbol and temper it once again. Horned Demon answered with an indifferent tone.


    "You''re saying that I can just use the Ancient Dragon Symbol as my own Destiny Symbol?" Lin Tian asked.


    "That''s right, the Ancient Dragon Symbol was originally the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Symbol. You have inherited the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon, so tempering the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Symbol is a very normal thing to begin with."


    "Alright!" Lin Tian did not doubt Hornless'' words at all.


    He immediately began to circulate the¡¶ Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture¡·. Under the guidance of the powerful¡¶ Supreme Dragon Soul Scripture¡·, the ancient dragon talisman gradually began to have some unusual changes.


    Streams of power that belonged to Lin Tian''s Destiny Soul Realm once again rushed onto the Ancient Dragon Symbol. The Ancient Dragon Symbol also gradually began to have some unusual changes.


    After a long while, the surface of the Ancient Dragon Symbol suddenly emitted a brilliant light. An incomparably pure Mental Energy immediately gushed out from the Ancient Dragon Symbol and filled Lin TianAo''s manor.


    Lin Tian immediately felt that his Divine Palace had become several times larger.


    In the next moment, the Ancient Dragon Rune once again turned into a seal and landed between Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian''s soul trembled slightly. In the next moment, Lin Tian felt that his soul was unable to say anything comfortable, it was filled with a warm feeling.


    "Spirit Symbol Master!" "I have finally reached the level of a Soul Symbol Master!" Lin Tian sighed.

 C194

    Reaching the Spiritual Symbol Master requirement required him to condense the Destiny Symbol.


    However, Lin Tian''s body already possessed the Destiny Symbol. Moreover, it was the world''s most powerful symbol, the Immemorial Dragon Symbol.


    Moreover, Lin Tian was originally a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, and he also cultivated the Dragon Clan''s secret spiritual arts.


    In this way, it would be easy for him to succeed. Using the Ancient Dragon Seal as his Destiny Symbol, reaching the level of a spirit runemaster was an extremely easy task.


    After fusing with the Ancient Dragon Symbol, Lin Tian felt that his soul was becoming more and more powerful. At the same time, his Spiritual Force had also become more than a hundred times stronger than before.


    The key thing was, he felt that the connection between his soul and the Primordial Dragon Symbol was becoming increasingly close.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness rolled and the originally sealed powers were released again.


    Lin Tian was both surprised and happy in his heart. It seemed that the benefits of reaching the level of a spirit runemaster were not ordinary.


    Previously in the Heavenly Thunder City''s Clear Pavilion, Lin Tian had obtained a strange wooden box from that mercenary, Lei Bao.


    When he had first opened the wooden box, he had found a powerful Symbol Master''s soul.


    Initially, Lin Tian had almost been taken in by that Symbol Master''s soul and wanted to possess it. However, at the final critical moment, his own Primordial Dragon Symbol had instead swallowed that Symbol Master''s soul. Not only had Lin Tian''s soul strength greatly improved, Lin Tian had also merged with the memories of that Symbol Master''s soul.


    One had to know that the Symbol Master had an endless number of Symbol Masters, as well as various secret techniques such as inscription patterns and arrays.


    It was just that Lin Tian was not yet a spirit runemaster and was unable to open up too powerful a memory.


    Therefore, these memories were all sealed within the Ancient Dragon Symbol. At that time, Lin Tian had only learned a low rank Symbol Skill, the Yuan Spirit Stinger.


    However, relying on the might of the Immortal Soul Piercing Spear had played an extremely important role in the battle after Lin Tian.


    If even a basic talisman technique had such power, Lin Tian was naturally more curious about how strong the talismans he released this time were.


    Moreover, an even more important factor was the runes and the inscription technique.


    A low-rank Symbol Master was a low-rank, mid-rank, and high-rank Symbol Master. The main thing to do was to continuously strengthen one''s spirit and Spiritual Force. Thus, there was no opportunity or time to focus on cultivating inscriptions or inscriptions.


    Only after reaching the level of a spirit runemaster and gaining a certain level of comprehension towards the spiritual force in one''s body, one could begin to practice this kind of talisman technique.


    Cultivating the Dao of Talismans was also divided into two types.


    The first type was simple Symbol Masters who only trained Mental Energy and Symbol Techniques. These Symbol Masters'' strengths were their combat strengths. However, this kind of Symbol Master was rarely seen.


    Because Symbol Masters were innately weak, no matter how strong they were, when they encountered some strong martial cultivators, he could only bear with it.


    The other type was rune masters, who were completely different.


    On the Sky Dragon Continent, rune masters were a highly respected profession.


    The reason why he said this was not because of the rune master''s strength, but because of the rune master''s special ability.


    Rune masters were able to inscribe inscriptions and inscribe formations. They were able to use secret techniques to increase their Spiritual Force and enhance their weapons, or they were able to directly inscribe talismans. Thus, the strength of the talismans they obtained was extremely terrifying.


    Therefore, rune masters had a very high status because of this, and had even obtained the following of many martial practitioners.


    For example, for an ordinary weapon, when an Inscription Master inscribed a rune onto a weapon, the weapon''s toughness would be greatly enhanced and the weapon''s strength would be strengthened. Naturally, the strength of a martial artist would also be greatly enhanced.


    Therefore, behind the powerful rune masters, there were countless martial arts cultivators rushing forward. They wanted these rune masters to carve runes on their weapons.


    Perhaps some adventurers and mercenaries respected rune masters even more, because rune masters could draw runes and carvings, and some powerful runes could even help them resist the great calamity of life and death.


    A powerful rune master, and another derivation profession, was an inscriptionist.


    An inscription formation, as the name implied, was something that could be used to condense a formation array.


    For example, the abode that Lin Tian was currently staying in was carved by a powerful rune master with a powerful Spiritual Gathering Array. The surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was swallowed here, and it was also because of this that the abode had plenty of Spiritual Energy.


    Therefore, on the Sky Dragon Continent, there was no Symbol Master who only cultivated Mental Energy. On the contrary, most Symbol Masters'' final destination were Symbol Masters.


    Symbol Skills were just a means of survival for them. Normally speaking, no Symbol Masters would act because all martial practitioners would treat Symbol Masters with respect. Moreover, most Symbol Masters were in the Symbol Master Guild and did not have to worry about safety.


    The inherited memories that Lin Tian had was that of a rune master.


    In the memories of this rune master, he had studied more about the Dao of rune and the Dao of inscription.


    In comparison, the Talisman Skills were much inferior.


    But even so, there were more than ten types of talisman skills with boundless might in his memories.


    To Lin Tian, he also knew that he would definitely learn the inscription pattern array technique because this was something a Symbol Master needed to do. Otherwise, wouldn''t it be a waste of such a vast amount of mental power?


    However, what Lin Tian valued the most was the existence of talisman skills.


    Although rune patterns and inscription formation techniques were important, they were still a method to affect Lin Tian''s strength and not a big one.


    But Talisman skills could truly increase Lin Tian''s battle strength. To Lin Tian, that was a bit more important.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much and directly fused with one of the memories. Within that memory was a talisman technique.


    The name of the talisman was called the Divine Punisher Shuttle.


    Lin Tian guessed that this kind of rune skill was probably the same as the Immortal Soul Piercing, it was a set of rune skills.


    This was because after Lin Tian had obtained the God Slaying Shuttle, he had only cultivated it slightly. He didn''t feel sluggish at all, as if he had cultivated it before.


    At first, Lin Tian thought that there was a problem with his own cultivation, but later on, he discovered that the Divine Punisher Shuttle evolved from the foundation of the Immortal Soul Spikes. However, the power of the Divine Punisher Shuttle was much stronger than the Immortal Soul Spikes.


    It looked like an enhanced version of the Divine Thorn.


    However, because of the connection between the two, it saved Lin Tian a lot of trouble. Lin Tian almost had no bottlenecks when he practiced the God-Slaying Shuttle.


    In addition, Lin Tian also began to use the Charm Magician''s memories of the rune and inscription formation and began to digest them.


    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes and coldly shouted towards the outside of the cave: "Who is it!"


    It turned out that just now, when Lin Tian was immersed in the rune technique, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.


    Lin Tian, who was disturbed, naturally did not have a good expression and directly berated.


    "Lin Tian, it''s almost time to come out. Today is the day for new students to choose martial arts cultivation techniques. If you were any later, the better cultivation techniques would have been chosen by others ¡­" A woman''s voice rang out from outside the door. It was none other than Gu Yan''er.

 C195

    Hearing the familiar voice, the vicious aura that was originally produced by Lin Tian''s chest immediately dissipated. He indifferently replied: "Wait a moment, I''ll be right there."


    Lin Tian tidied himself up a bit. He didn''t know how long he had been in closed door cultivation for, but thinking about it, it shouldn''t be too short.


    When they exited the cave, they discovered that Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er had already gathered outside. It seemed they had been waiting for quite some time.


    Lin Tian walked out of the cave and looked at the three of them. Right now, the three of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces as they looked at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. He could not help but ask: "What happened to you guys?"


    "Are, are you still human?" After a moment, Fang Xing snapped out of his daze and turned to face Lin Tianjiao.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was even more confused. Just what was Fang Xing talking about?


    "Look, look for yourself!" At this time, Du Feng walked in front of Lin Tian and lightly pushed Lin Tian''s body, causing Lin Tian to turn around and look for himself.


    He didn''t know when to look, but seeing Lin Tian gave him a fright.


    "This ¡­" At this time, Lin Tian was also flabbergasted as he watched this scene. His heart was in disbelief.


    What they let Lin Tian see was nothing else but the surroundings of the cave that Lin Tian was in. Right now it was completely desolate and all the flowers, plants, and trees in the cave were unexpectedly withering.


    Not only that, but what was even more frightening was that not a single blade of grass grew nearby.


    "What kind of monster are you?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    Du Feng also looked at Lin Tian with a face full of anticipation. He wanted to know Lin Tian''s answer. This kind of destructive ability could simply be said to be terrifying.


    Gu Yan''er also stubbornly stared at Lin Tian. She also wanted to know what Lin Tian had done to cause the surrounding plants to all wither and die.


    It was obvious that the surrounding vegetation had all been drained of their spiritual power essence, resulting in their deaths.


    Because there was a powerful Spirit Gathering Formation laid out in the cave, it caused the surroundings of the cave to be filled with extremely powerful Spiritual Energy.


    Therefore, the surrounding vegetation also contained an extremely powerful spiritual power.


    But right now, within a circumference of dozens of meters around Lin Tian''s cave, not a single blade of grass grew. Even the soil was dried up and there was not even a single trace of life.


    Lin Tian slightly froze for a moment before reacting. When he stabilized his Jindan Stage cultivation realm, other than using up all of the spirit crystals he had accumulated, it seemed that he had also swallowed quite a bit of the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.


    Now that he thought about it, it should have been at that time that the whale swallowed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that caused this kind of change. However, this situation was truly out of Lin Tian''s expectations.


    Lin Tian also did not think that his destructive power was actually this strong.


    But luckily, there was a Spirit Convergence Array, which could help Lin Tian continue to gather the surrounding spiritual energy.


    "Alright, stop looking. Let''s go. Didn''t you say that you want to choose a martial arts technique?" Lin Tian knew what the situation was and immediately turned around to leave.


    "You still haven''t told me how you did it, and why did you become like that?" When the other three saw that Lin Tian had left, they couldn''t help but follow Lin Tian and ask him what the situation was.


    "I don''t know, I was just like all of you. If it wasn''t for you calling me out, I wouldn''t have come out. This is the first time I''ve seen such a situation ¡­" Lin Tian casually replied before changing the topic: "That''s right, what exactly is the matter with the martial arts technique and how is it chosen?"


    After hearing Lin Tian ask about the important matter, the other three didn''t get entangled in this matter.


    "You never came out of seclusion before, no wonder you didn''t know." Gu Yan''er indifferently replied. As she spoke, she explained a few things to Lin Tian.


    After Gu Yan''er finished explaining, Lin Tian suddenly understood.


    So it turned out that this selection of martial arts techniques was a benefit for new students.


    The Northern Courtyard did not provide for idle people. Although there were all sorts of martial arts techniques displayed in the North Courtyard''s Martial Arts Hall, some of them were top-notch. However, they were not open to the public.


    If you want to choose a martial arts technique, it''s simple. Take out your contribution points, and you can pick any martial arts technique you want.


    However, if you don''t have enough Contribution Points, I''m sorry, but you can forget about entering the Martial Arts Hall.


    However, these rules were all set for seniors.


    There was one time when a new student who had just entered the Northern Courtyard could choose the benefits of a cultivation technique without paying contribution points.


    Of course, this was only limited to one attempt.


    After all, there was only a batch of new students every year.


    Lin Tian had been in closed-door training for over ten days. This time, it was his only chance, so even if Lin Tian was still in closed-door training, Fang Xing and the others would still forcefully summon Lin Tian out.


    After all, he couldn''t afford to miss this opportunity.


    Initially, he had relied on Nangong Fan and the others to obtain 50,000 contribution points, but he had used them all up in one go. If he were to enter the Martial Arts Hall, he would need to obtain more contribution points. Who knew how many missions he would have to complete in order to accumulate enough contribution points to enter the Martial Arts Hall.


    The inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon was indeed incomparably powerful, but its consumption was also a bottomless pit.


    Lin Tian sighed. After which, he followed a few people to the Martial Arts Hall.


    The Martial Arts Hall was inside the Mission Pavilion.


    The Northern Courtyard''s mission pavilion was seven or eight stories high, and there were different treasures hidden within each floor.


    Spirit stones, medicinal pills, weapons, cultivation techniques, as well as some unique cultivation spaces, he had everything he needed.


    The Martial Arts Hall was on the fifth floor of the Mission Pavilion.


    At this moment, a large number of new students had already gathered in front of the Missions Tower.


    After Lin Tian and the others arrived, they discovered quite a few familiar faces.


    At this time, the chief instructor of the Mission Pavilion, Zhang Feng, had also arrived in front of everyone.


    "Are all the new students here? If not, we won''t wait any longer." Zhang Feng glanced around before he asked.


    Seeing that no one replied, Zhang Feng pointed at the old man behind him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the instructor for the transmission of kung fu in the North District''s Martial Arts Hall. Instructor Qian Jue will lead you to the Martial Arts Hall in a while."


    Behind Zhang Feng was an old man in a black robe, who was also staring at all the new students.


    When Qian Jue''s gaze fell on Lin Tian, his gaze lingered on Lin Tian for a few more seconds.


    But on Lin Tian''s face, there was a calm and collected expression. Just this aura alone was enough to arouse a bit of interest from Qian Dun, Lin Tian.


    When his gaze swept across the crowd just now, he had already secretly used his own strength. Among the other students, most could not bear the gaze of Qian Jue, whether it was lowering their heads or slanting their faces, from beginning to end, they did not meet his gaze. Only Lin Tian, who had a tranquil face, was not affected in the slightest.


    "Alright, come with me." Qian Jue retracted his gaze and spoke to everyone in an indifferent manner.

 C196

    Everyone followed Qian Jue up to the fifth floor.


    This was a unique space. In fact, every level of the Mission Pavilion was a separate space.


    At the entrance to the fifth floor, there was a faint vortex barrier. With a single glance, one could tell that it was a protective barrier that was capable of isolating the outside world.


    The Thousand Killing Finger continuously formed complicated hand seals. As the hand seals hit the barrier, the barrier was soon completely broken apart, revealing the vast hall of martial arts.


    Qian Jue''s gaze swept across the crowd once again before saying, "Alright, you all can go in. Remember, you can only choose one martial arts technique. There is only enough time to burn an incense stick ¡­"


    "An incense stick''s worth of time?" Everyone immediately rushed to enter the hall of martial arts. This hall of martial arts was vast and filled with countless martial arts, and the time it took to burn an incense stick was not much. If one wanted to choose a suitable martial arts technique, there was still a lot of difficulty, so one must not waste even a single second.


    Lin Tian did not panic. Although the time it took for an incense stick to burn was a little short, he was a Symbol Master after all. His Spiritual Force was incomparably vast, and he could quickly browse through the martial arts techniques.


    If that was the case, then Lin Tian wouldn''t be so slow.


    The Martial Arts Hall was the Northern Courtyard''s wealth, and also the Qingzhou Academy''s wealth. Although this was the Martial Arts Hall of the Northern Courtyard, it was also the Martial Arts Hall of the Qingzhou Academy. This was because the other three branches had the same Martial Arts Hall.


    When it came to other resources, more or less, the Azure Province would be inclined. However, when it came to martial arts techniques, there was never the slightest deviation.


    After entering the Martial Arts Hall, Lin Tian didn''t act like the other students and instead found a cultivation technique to check out. Instead, he lightly summoned his own mental strength, and in the next moment, Lin Tian''s mental strength was like a thread as it quickly rushed out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    After Lin Tian had reached the realm of a spirit runemaster, his control and use of his mental energy had increased to a whole new level. He was now able to easily reach a certain level of familiarity.


    Within the Martial Arts Hall, there were rows and rows of incomparably large bookshelves. On the bookshelves, there were all kinds of martial arts techniques.


    At this time, Lin Tian''s mental power threads were rolling over the rows of bookshelves.


    "Dragon Tiger Fist ¡­" Great Grief Palm... Nine Extreme Sword Technique... "Unparalleled Sword Force ¡­"


    A set of martial arts techniques flew through Lin Tian''s mind like a picture.


    There were some cultivation techniques that Lin Tian had seen the name of and directly filtered them out. They were not suitable for him at all, such as saber techniques, sword techniques, etc.


    Lin Tian used a spear, so he naturally ignored all of this.


    As for some other fist and palm martial arts techniques, Lin Tian looked at them a bit more, but most of them were abandoned by Lin Tian.


    There were only a few martial arts with decent power and high grade. Lin Tian paid a little more attention and looked at them a few more times.


    But in the end, Lin Tian also lost.


    Those martial arts were not even comparable to his Great Destruction Fist and Heaven Collapsing Palm.


    Martial arts were divided into grades. From Grade 1 to Grade 9, Grade 1 was the lowest and Grade 9 was the highest.


    Of course, for Lin Tian who had already reached the Aurous Core stage, only a martial art above the seventh rank could enter Lin Tian''s eyes.


    One had to know that his Heaven Collapsing Palm was a grade seven martial art. However, Lin Tian was a Qi Hai realm cultivator and hadn''t been able to fully unleash the power of the Heaven Collapsing Palm.


    Now that he was at the Aurous Core stage, the might of the Heaven Collapsing Palm was more than ten times stronger.


    Currently, if Lin Tian encountered Shangguan Tu, Lin Tian was completely confident that just the Heaven Collapsing Palm would be enough to destroy him.


    In just a few moments, all the martial arts in the Martial Arts Hall were placed on the bookshelves. Lin Tian used his Mental Energy to check them all.


    Lin Tian shook his head in disappointment. Amongst these, very few martial arts techniques that Lin Tian had truly taken a fancy to.


    Originally, Lin Tian wanted to find a martial arts cultivation technique that was suitable for his cultivation in the Martial Arts Hall, but now it seemed that he would very possibly be disappointed.


    At the same time, outside the Martial Arts Hall, Qian Jue was watching the situation inside.


    "Why, this freak does not seem to think much of our Martial Arts Hall ¡­" Behind Qian Jue, Zhang Feng from the Mission Pavilion smiled at Qian Jue.


    Clearly, the so-called freak he was referring to was Lin Tian.


    "I was curious about what kind of cultivation technique this kid would choose. But now, it seems that none of the cultivation techniques in our Martial Arts Hall is worthy of his attention ¡­" Qian Jue sighed slightly. With a complicated look in his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking.


    "Qian, do you think this kid will choose those cultivation techniques?" Zhang Feng suddenly remembered something as he abruptly asked.


    "Hmm?" Qian Jue was slightly startled, but he immediately understood Zhang Feng''s meaning as he subconsciously shook his head: "Probably not, but..."


    Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Feng abruptly interrupted him, "Qian, it seems... it seems that I''ve really guessed it..."


    Thousand Jue immediately raised his head and saw Lin Tian''s figure. He walked over to a corner.


    Lin Tian scanned through all the martial arts techniques that were neatly placed. He didn''t notice anything that caused his eyes to light up or that moved his heart. He simply gave up on that row of martial arts techniques and walked towards a corner.


    Lin Tian just looked around and felt that this place was the weirdest.


    This was because this corner was also filled with martial arts secret manuals, but not a single disciple came over to pick one. Occasionally, one or two students would inadvertently walk over here.


    This made Lin Tian curious in his heart. What kind of martial arts technique was this that these students were too lazy to even take a look?


    Could it be a low level martial art?


    That shouldn''t be possible. In the Martial Arts Hall, there shouldn''t be any martial arts below Grade Three.


    Like this, Lin Tian''s interest was immediately piqued.


    When he arrived at this corner, he was even more surprised to find that the martial arts in this corner were all covered in dust. The dust on the bookshelves was thick. It had been a long time since a student came here to pick out a martial arts technique.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly picked up a martial arts book.


    In the next moment, the expression on Lin Tian''s face immediately became wonderful.


    "There''s actually such a powerful martial art? Are those students all idiots? They have such powerful martial arts, yet no one has chosen them?" Lin Tian kept sighing in his heart.


    Just now, he had casually picked up a martial art manual from the bookshelf. He had actually discovered that this martial art manual was extremely powerful and its power was not one bit inferior to his Heaven Collapsing Palm.


    But even so, no one came forward to pick?


    Lin Tian couldn''t figure it out, but in the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly understood why no one else had chosen ¡­

 C197

    The shock on Lin Tian''s face already explained everything.


    These martial arts techniques were actually incomplete.


    No wonder.


    This also explained why no one came here to choose a martial arts technique.


    This was because the martial arts here were incomplete.


    Just now, Lin Tian had casually grabbed a martial art called the King Kong Palm. It was a unique technique that required mastery to form, allowing the palm to be like King Kong with boundless might.


    However, the King Kong Palm had a total of three palms, but on top of the martial arts manual, there were only two palms. There was no training method for the last palm strike.


    Incomplete martial arts.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled as he flipped open another martial arts book.


    Incomplete?


    Lin Tian flipped open another book. As expected, it was still incomplete.


    In such a large corner, there were actually incomplete martial arts!


    Lin Tian''s shock was clearly expressed in his words. No wonder those students had never come to this place to pick out martial arts techniques. It turned out that the martial arts here were all incomplete. Some were incomplete with the last move, while some were incomplete with the middle.


    What''s more, her mental cultivation method is incomplete ¡­


    Lin Tian''s heart was shocked and at the same time he was also a bit curious.


    Why were there so many incomplete martial arts in the Martial Arts Hall?


    There would be no students to choose these incomplete martial arts. Why not destroy them and leave them here?


    Lin Tian thought about it for a long time but still couldn''t come up with an answer.


    Incomplete martial arts were like chicken ribs. It was tasteless and a pity that it was discarded.


    In particular, these powerful incomplete martial arts were even more of a pity.


    This was because for a martial artist, cultivating incomplete martial arts was a very big risk. If they were not careful in their cultivation, there was a risk of them going berserk.


    Therefore, it was understandable that the students would not choose these martial arts.


    However, to Lin Tian, incomplete martial arts was the true treasure.


    Perhaps in the eyes of others, incomplete martial arts were useless. That was because even though they knew that this martial arts was extremely powerful, they did not dare to practice it because they did not want to go berserk.


    However, to Lin Tian, these were not problems!


    This was because Lin Tian possessed a supreme treasure like the Archaic Dragon Talisman.


    It had to be known that the God Transforming Steps that Lin Tian had currently relied on as his ultimate technique was an incomplete martial art that he had obtained at the auction in the Heavenly Thunder City. However, after the deduction of the Ancient Dragon Talisman in his soul, it had actually perfected the God Transforming Steps, and the perfected God Transforming Steps was even several times more powerful than before.


    The Ancient Dragon Symbol had the ability to deduce martial arts. This was Lin Tian''s greatest reliance.


    So to others, these incomplete martial arts were a pile of waste paper, but to Lin Tian, it was a true treasure trove.


    However, since Lin Tian had found the direction, then he didn''t need to worry. In the remaining time, he would properly find a martial arts manual, which was currently the most useful to him.


    While Lin Tian was looking for martial arts techniques, Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er were also frantically searching for a suitable martial arts technique.


    Not long later, Gu Yan''er found a book that looked like a sheepskin bag on a row of bookshelves. She grinned excitedly and said, "That old man really didn''t lie to me, he''s really here ¡­"


    Fang Xing searched around before finally choosing a martial art manual.


    Du Feng was the same.


    The three didn''t waste too much time, so they quickly finished choosing.


    At this moment, Zhang Feng and Qian Jue who were standing outside the door had also recovered their eyes from the other three.


    "No wonder Old Man Yang is so happy this time. A natural Poison Body, a natural Talisman Body, a Heavenly Dao Body and three great talents were all taken by Old Man Yang into the Northern Courtyard. Looks like this year''s Northern Courtyard is going to flourish ¡­" Looking at the three people, Zhang Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    "Yes, that book on poisons. Looks like old man Xing told her to pick it." Qian Jue''s gaze turned to Gu Yan''er. "Interesting. In our Azure Province, it has been a long time since a poison body has appeared. A physique like this shouldn''t exist anymore ¡­"


    "Un, Poison Bodies are indeed rare." Saying this, Zhang Feng''s face also became solemn.


    "With this Poison Scripture, I hope that little lass can properly cultivate in it. Once the Poison Body appears, I wonder if it will be a blessing or a disaster for the world ¡­" Qian Jue sighed.


    "Where is that kid? Has he not been selected yet?" At this time, Qian Jue suddenly thought of Lin Tian. His gaze once again shifted to the corner where Lin Tian was bitterly looking for martial arts.


    "Qian, is this kid really going to choose that incomplete martial art?" Zhang Feng had an expression of disbelief.


    Currently, Lin Tian was in front of the incomplete martial arts. He was extremely serious as he looked through those martial arts. From the looks of it, he wanted to choose one of those incomplete martial arts.


    "Who knows, maybe this kid will give us some surprises. After all, he''s the only Heaven''s Pride student!" Qian Jue said with a smile on his face.


    "¡­" Previously, he saw that Lin Tian was not satisfied with most of the martial arts. He even guessed that Lin Tian would choose those incomplete martial arts, but now that Lin Tian Zhen chose those incomplete martial arts, Zhang Feng felt even more pity.


    He also knew that those incomplete martial arts were all top grade martial arts. Moreover, there was no lack of powerful martial arts. However, they were after all incomplete martial arts. If one''s cultivation went berserk, it would not be worth it.


    Zhang Feng didn''t want Lin Tian to choose those martial arts.


    "What, Old Zhang, are you worried?" Qian Jue seemed to have noticed Zhang Feng''s abnormality.


    "Don''t worry, this kid might be able to give us a surprise ¡­" Qian Jue muttered to himself: "After all, even that kid Zhang Ge is extremely interested in this Lin Tian ¡­"


    Lin Tian didn''t know that Thousand Jue and Zhang Feng had been paying attention to him the entire time. In fact, even if they had, Lin Tian wouldn''t care because he didn''t have the time to care about those.


    The current Lin Tian only knew that the martial arts in front of him were all treasures, enormous treasures.


    Lin Tian''s eyes lit up as he searched through the martial arts. Some of the martial arts were weak, and could not even compare to the Heaven Collapsing Palm, and were directly abandoned by Lin Tian. Instead, some of the martial arts that were the same as the Heaven Collapsing Palm were left in Lin Tian''s hands for further consideration.


    Until, after a moment, Lin Tian suddenly saw a martial arts manual. He recorded the time and threw all the other martial arts to the side.


    It was a martial arts manual with some black bloodstains.


    However, one could still see the name on the manual ¡ª Celestial Dragon Tomb!


    Lin Tian''s breathing became hurried. This was the first time he had seen a martial art with the word ''dragon'' on it. And its name was the domineering Heavenly Dragon Tomb!


    What made Lin Tian overjoyed was that this martial art was actually a spear art.


    That''s right, it was a spear technique. It was simply a custom-made martial art for Lin Tian.


    After all, Lin Tian had always wanted to find a spear technique to complement his Dragon Scale Spear.


    He hadn''t thought that this spear technique would automatically present itself at his doorstep!

 C198

    "It''s you." Sparks flashed in Lin Tian''s eyes.


    Although this Heavenly Dragon Burial technique was incomplete, for Lin Tian, because he had the Ancient Dragon Symbol, he didn''t have to worry about this problem.


    After all, the Immemorial Dragon Talisman could refine a martial art technique.


    So even though it was incomplete, Lin Tian did not care.


    At the same time, Qian Jue also saw that Lin Tian had chosen a martial arts cultivation technique. Only then did he loudly say: "Time''s up!"


    Earlier, Thousand Jue had actually been waiting for Lin Tian. When he and Zhang Feng were outside of the Martial Arts Hall, they could completely take in the situation inside. The time it took to burn an incense was not too long, and before Lin Tian chose to bury his Sky Dragon, the time it took to burn an incense stick had already arrived.


    However, in order to let Lin Tian choose the martial arts cultivation technique he wanted, Qian Jue had even quietly extended the time.


    However, no one noticed it.


    "Qian, this brat really chose an incomplete martial art. It is really puzzling ¡­" Zhang Feng sighed.


    His eyes were filled with regret. He originally thought that this Lin Tian could choose a better martial art, but he didn''t think that he would ultimately choose a incomplete martial art ¡­


    "Maybe this kid can give us an even bigger surprise?" Qian Jue shook his head. After all, Zhang Feng was the teacher of the Mission Pavilion and not the teacher in charge of the Martial Arts Hall.


    Qian Jue had always been in charge of the Martial Arts Hall. He was very familiar with the martial arts techniques here. Although those incomplete martial arts lacked a single move and a half, they were all top grade martial arts. It could even be said that they were top grade martial arts.


    After all, these martial arts were exceptionally powerful. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to be placed in the Martial Arts Hall.


    One had to know that those trash martial arts were not even qualified to enter the Martial Arts Palace, let alone the incomplete ones.


    These incomplete martial arts also had a place in the Martial Arts Hall. This was enough to prove the value of these martial arts.


    Previously, there were some students who had chosen these incomplete martial arts. However, in the end, they were still able to display the might of these martial arts.


    After all, there were some top tier martial arts that had an incomparably tyrannical remnant martial art.


    Thousand Jue naturally thought that Lin Tian had noticed the tyranny of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, so he wasn''t surprised.


    When everyone heard Qian Jue say that it was time, they all walked out of the Martial Arts Hall one after another.


    When everyone had walked out of the Martial Arts Hall, a ripple in front of the hall slightly trembled before it closed once again.


    "This is the benefit of your new students. Of course, this is the only time you will be able to choose a set of martial arts cultivation technique without any contribution points. From now on, you will all need contribution points in order to enter the Martial Arts Hall." The crowd continued, "Oh right, all of you have to remember that this martial art cannot be taught to others, can''t be taught to others privately, and definitely can''t be taken out of the academy."


    "All of you only have ten days to practice this martial art. After ten days, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will need to return this martial art manual." When Qian Jue finished speaking, his voice suddenly became stern: "Do you all understand what I''m saying?"


    "Understood!" Everyone answered in unison.


    Qian Jue nodded before turning his eyes to Zhang Feng, who was standing behind him. He then said, "Teacher Zhang Feng, I will leave these new students to you..."


    "Alright." Zhang Feng nodded and said to the others, "Let''s go, new students. There will be more surprises for you."


    Everyone was slightly startled, but they immediately followed Zhang Feng. They also wanted to know what kind of surprise that Zhang Feng was talking about.


    Lin Tian, Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er were already gathered together, discussing the cultivation technique they had just obtained.


    What Gu Yan''er obtained was the Poison Scripture. This was a martial art manual that specialized in poison techniques. To Gu Yan''er, this martial art manual was the most suitable for her.


    Of course, Gu Yan''er''s previous mentor also allowed her to choose.


    Previously, in the Qingzhou Main Academy, there was a teacher specializing in poison techniques called Xing Xuan. However, from what Gu Yan''er said, that poison master seemed to be a very strange person.


    After teaching Gu Yan''er how to control the poison in her body, she disappeared. She only told Gu Yan''er to choose this Poison Scripture after officially becoming a student of the Azure Province Academy. Other than that, she didn''t say anything else.


    However, while conversing with them, Lin Tian discovered something else.


    That was Fang Xing. Du Feng''s aura had actually undergone a tremendous leap, to the point where it was on the verge of reaching the Aurous Core stage.


    In other words, their strength had greatly increased after such a short period of seclusion.


    This also allowed Lin Tian to re-recognize the terrifying aspects of the Sky Spirit Body.


    No wonder the Heaven''s Spirit Body was called the beloved of heaven. This saying was reflected in the speed of cultivation.


    They didn''t need to put in too much effort to quickly break through to the next stage.


    The one who changed the most was Gu Yan''er. Her previous strength was only around the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm, but she had now reached the ninth level of the Qi Hai realm.


    In addition, Gu Yan''er also had the innate strength of a poison body, which made her even more terrifying.


    Lin Tian painstakingly cultivated for such a long time in order to finally have the time to reach the Aurous Core stage.


    However, these people were easily about to break through to the Aurous Core stage ¡­


    We can''t compare, we can''t compare, we can''t compare ¡­" Lin Tian sighed in his heart, but he did not feel the slightest bit of inferiority. This was because even if Fang Xing and the rest reached the Aurous Core stage, they would only end up being oppressed if they were to meet Lin Tian.


    Because every time Lin Tian''s cultivation realm broke through a bit, his actual battle strength would greatly increase.


    After chatting for a while, they all followed Teacher Zhang Feng to the first floor of the Mission Pavilion.


    This was the real Mission Pavilion. In the Mission Pavilion, there were rows and rows of tokens hung around. On the tokens, were the missions issued by the academy. No one knew what the so-called surprise of Zhang Feng was.


    "Alright, all of you new students have arrived, right?" Zhang Feng glanced at the crowd and smiled, "If everyone is here, I really have a surprise to tell you."


    Seeing that everyone was paying close attention to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng smiled again, "You all know that we, the North District, have never raised idle people. Naturally, new students are no exception, so this task is specifically given to you new students."


    "So it''s a quest..." Everyone in the audience was immediately disappointed. They thought that it was really a surprise, but in the end, it was a quest ¡­

 C199

    However, most of them were still curious. They were new students and had just arrived. What kind of mission would the Northern Academy give them?


    Zhang Feng smiled, "Actually, this task is just a rule. New students, as for the rules of the North District, most of them don''t know much about it, so we usually send out missions exclusive to new students. The task isn''t too difficult, mainly, the new students know what''s going on in the North District''s Mission Pavilion..."


    "However, this time, it seems to be unexpected." After saying this, Zhang Feng paused for a second and started to observe the reactions of the surrounding people.


    "En, there''s an accident?" The students immediately became suspicious.


    Honestly speaking, new students like them, who had just arrived at the Northern Courtyard, were a little not used to it.


    The experts of the Northern Courtyard were revered. Not long after they arrived, they were robbed by the people brought by Ji Chunxue and that pervert Yang.


    Now, they finally had a chance. They could get a martial art manual without any contribution points. Before they could recover from the excitement, Zhang Feng had already asked them to do a task for him.


    Additionally, according to Zhang Feng''s words, this mission seemed to be different from usual.


    "Yes, there''s something different." After glancing over the crowd''s expression, Zhang Feng had a general understanding of their thoughts.


    "The previous missions of the Northern Courtyard were to hunt demon beasts, or to run errands, or to escort demon beasts. All of these tasks were to familiarize you with how to accept missions, understand the difficulty of the missions, and the distribution of contribution points ¡­" Zhang Feng explained calmly.


    "But this time, it was really an accident. Your mission is different from usual ¡­" Zhang Feng continued.


    "What kind of mission is it?" Lin Tian was also a bit curious. Since Zhang Feng said that it was different from before, it probably meant that the difficulty of this mission would greatly increase.


    "This time, it''s a group mission." Zhang Feng directly said to the others without any suspense.


    "Group mission?" The crowd was even more confused.


    "That''s right, the so called ''group mission'' doesn''t just refer to a single individual''s mission. Rather, this time, all the new students are going to carry out a single mission together ¡­" Zhang Feng revealed a weird smile.


    "There seems to be a conspiracy ¡­" Fang Xing looked at Zhang Feng before turning to Lin Tian and the other two with a low voice.


    "To be honest, this mission is not that simple. However, it is not that difficult. It is just that, there will be some danger ¡­" Zhang Feng kept talking, but after talking for a long time, he still didn''t say what kind of mission it was.


    "What kind of mission is this ¡­?"


    "Teacher Zhang Feng, quickly tell me. The more you keep me in suspense, the more guilty I feel ¡­" Some of the students finally couldn''t stand it anymore and started to ask Zhang Feng what kind of task this was.


    "Actually, it''s very simple. You all can now open your identity tokens. I have already clearly stated the mission on your identity tokens."


    No one spoke a word and each of them took out their identity tokens.


    Lin Tian''s group of four was also in the same state.


    However, when they saw the identity plate, everyone was stunned.


    Lin Tian''s group of four also didn''t think that it would be such a mission.


    The description of the task was very simple.


    The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is close to the southwest border, there is a city called Sky City. The City Lord of Sky City, Luo Jiang, recently went to the north yard and asked for help, saying that there seems to be a disturbance in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    The description of the mission was very clear. When the demon beast horde came, the students would go to the Sky City to help defeat the incoming demon beast horde...


    It sounded simple, but they were well aware that this mission was far more than just dangerous. It was simply a mission to the death, because if they weren''t careful, then their strength might even be able to survive the beast tide.


    Lin Tian was also surprised. He also didn''t think that new students like them would actually ask them to carry out this kind of mission.


    The danger of a beast tide could be great or small. If it was a small beast tide, then there was no need to worry too much. However, if it was a large beast tide, then Lin Tian himself would not be able to feel confident.


    It had to be known that when they were at the headquarters of the Azure Province, they had already seen a monster tide once in the exam grounds.


    At that time, the beast tide was still caused by the level five demon python. Even so, countless students died in that beast tide.


    But now, this mission actually wanted them to block the beast tide?


    You don''t have to worry too much. The demon beast horde this time around will be a small scale demon beast horde. Moreover, some of the older students from the Northern Academy will be following you when the time comes. Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Zhang Feng immediately understood their thoughts. He then added, "Of course, for you, the mission this beast tide is not simple. Therefore, the reward of contribution points this time is also very generous."


    "Those who perform well in the beast tide are the ones who hunt the most demon beasts. Not only are there rewards for hunting demon beasts, there are also rewards for extra contribution points. The ones with the most outstanding performance will be rewarded with 10,000 contribution points." Zhang Feng uttered surprisingly.


    "10,000 points?" Everyone was shocked by this additional reward.


    "Yes, 10,000 points. Of course, this is a reward that only the most outstanding student will receive. According to their outstanding performance, the contribution points reward will also be different." Zhang Feng continued.


    "Of course, all of you know what contribution points mean in the Northern Courtyard, so, this time, danger and opportunity coexist. Of course, the students who are on duty, we will do our best to ensure your safety." Zhang Feng''s tone contained a sense of persuasion.


    "Of course, you can also choose to give up. However, the consequence of choosing to give up is that you will be expelled from the Northern Courtyard." Zhang Feng said again.


    Everyone in the crowd now understood Zhang Feng''s meaning.


    This was an undisguised form of coercion. This mission was something that had to be done ¡­


    As he said this, he didn''t have much to say.


    "Teacher Zhang, when do we set off for this mission?" Some of the students couldn''t help but ask him about the time, so they could prepare for it as soon as possible.


    "Half a month from now." Zhang Feng replied calmly, "That should be plenty of time. You guys can spend the next half a month to practice your martial arts techniques..."


    "Looks like it''s all planned." Lin Tian immediately understood. All of this had probably been discussed by the upper echelons. First let them choose a cultivation technique, it could be considered as having an extra lifesaving method.


    After that, they will have to fight it out with the demon beast ¡­

 C200

    Knowing that it was time to leave, no one wasted any more time here. After all, if they cultivated for one more day, then when the time came to face the beast tide, they would have a better chance of winning.


    Everyone returned to their rooms one by one.


    Lin Tian and the others did not stay any longer and returned to their own cave abode.


    After the consecutive defeats of Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, and Li Qingshan, Lin Tian''s name was renowned throughout the Northern Courtyard. Many students knew of Lin Tian as a person.


    Of course, the greatest influence that Lin Tian had was that the students of the inner courtyard, who were also the students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, did not dare to find trouble with Lin Tian.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian had less trouble. After all, in the near future, Lin Tian would need to continuously cultivate. He didn''t have the time and energy to deal with the experts who came to challenge him.


    Returning to his own cave dwelling, he looked around at the dried up plants and vegetation, as well as the desolate scene of him being ruined. Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but he still began to look around the cave dwelling''s array glyphs again.


    A cave of this level was prepared by the Northern Courtyard for the students of the Inner Academy. Powerful Symbol Masters were invited to set up a powerful Spiritual Concentration Formation here.


    As the name implied, Spirit Convergence Array was a formation that condensed Spiritual Energy. The power of the formation was able to quickly gather the Spiritual Energy of the world around it, allowing the abode to maintain a sufficient amount of Spiritual Energy for the students to cultivate.


    Lin Tian carefully sized up the Spirit Convergence Array. He used his own mental energy to permeate into the formation, wanting to see the method to arrange the Spirit Convergence Array.


    Lin Tian didn''t have any other intentions. He had just become a spirit runemaster, and he had also just started practicing the rune techniques. Currently, there was a ready-made array in front of his eyes, so he naturally had to check it out.


    The memories that he had digested were still the memories of others. Whatever it was, he had to comprehend for himself before he could reap his rewards.


    And an even more important reason was that Lin Tian didn''t have spirit stones now. If he cultivated, the amount of spirit energy accumulated in the cave would be negligible to him. He needed even more spirit energy in order to meet Lin Tian''s needs.


    Thus, he had the thought of improving this Spirit Gathering Formation.


    After all, in his digested memories, that Charm Magician was a top-level powerful Symbol Master. In his memories, there was a spell known as the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.


    A Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was presumably a method to improve this Spirit Convergence Array. The effects of condensing spirit energy should be much stronger than this one.


    As a result, Lin Tian immediately had the thought of laying down his own Spirit Convergence Array.


    The power of Lin Tian''s soul was like tentacles as it crazily rushed towards the Spirit Gathering Array. Rune after rune immediately spread out from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    While Lin Tian was observing the runes, he was also carefully sensing the formation technique. He used his soul to carefully perceive the power of the array.


    This was the best and fastest way to learn how to set up a formation.


    After a long while, Lin Tian sighed with emotion. Before, he hadn''t reached the level of a spirit runemaster. If Lin Tian had forcefully felt this formation, he might have even been injured by this formation.


    But now that he had reached the realm of a spirit runemaster, Lin Tian''s control over his mental strength had increased to a whole new level. He was actually able to quickly perceive the essence of this array.


    The power of the array glyph was a special combination of powers.


    His spiritual force was ever-changing, and with different combinations, he could condense different formations.


    The key power of the Spirit Convergence Array was the whirlpool power of the formation. That whirlpool power could quickly devour the surrounding Spiritual Energy of the world, allowing the Spiritual Energy of the world to quickly condense and pour into the formation. This was the principle behind the Spirit Convergence Array and also the essence.


    After knowing this level of quintessence, Lin Tian felt that he had a lot of memories. At this time, after understanding everything, his understanding towards the power of the Symbol Dao had reached a new level.


    Lin Tian felt that his Divine Soul inside his Divine Manor was warm and filled with a formidable power. More importantly, the Ancient Dragon Symbol between his Divine Soul''s eyebrows was constantly emitting light, nourishing his Divine Soul.


    Lin TianAo smiled gently. Then, he attempted to spit out a majestic Spiritual Energy from his manor. That Mental Energy instantly rushed into the original Spirit Convergence Array.


    At the start, an extremely powerful repelling force was transmitted from the Spiritual Concentration Formation. However, this repelling force was much more insignificant than Lin Tian''s vast Spiritual Energy.


    In the blink of an eye, that repelling force was actually suppressed by Lin Tian''s powerful mental strength.


    Not only that, Lin Tian''s spiritual energy that was like a vast ocean also rushed towards the formation in the blink of an eye. Although the formation was strong, it was gradually starting to tremble under the strong impact of Lin Tian''s mental energy.


    Not long after, Lin Tian changed the power of the talisman markings again with his Spiritual Energy. He even changed his Spiritual Energy and focused it on the symbol formation ¡­


    However, while Lin Tian was busy modifying the Spirit Convergence Array, he was far away in the Glyphs Guild in Qingzhou City.


    At the top of the Symbol Master Guild, a startled and angry roar suddenly came: "Which bastard touched the array set up by me, and actually affected my retreat, don''t let me find out who you are, if I find out who you are, I, I ¡­"


    Ah!" Before the voice could finish, a scream followed.


    This action had completely shocked all the Symbol Masters in the Symbol Master Guild.


    "What''s wrong with Old Bai? Why is he so agitated?" The one who shouted earlier was none other than the president of the Azure Continent''s Symbol Master Guild, White Light.


    This Symbol Master was a Rank 2 Symbol Master, and was extremely powerful. His mastery of the Talisman Formation had made him one of the rarest in all of Tian Luo.


    But just now, they had heard that someone dared to touch the formation he had set up?


    "Old Bai is in closed door cultivation, but someone must have activated Old Bai''s formation and affected him ¡­" Someone said.


    "How strange, someone actually dares to touch Old Bai''s formation ¡­" Some people shook their heads, but immediately after, they heard a burst of crackling sounds from the top floor. Immediately, they became silent and no one dared to discuss about it anymore.


    However, that voice rang again, "Investigate who did this, damn it, we''re so close to reaching the threshold of a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master. We''re finished. Half a year of hard work has completely ruined us!"


    At this moment, White Light was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but there was nothing he could do.


    At this time, Lin Tian, who was focused on modifying the Spirit Convergence Array, didn''t even know about this.

 C201

    Actually, the main reason why Lin Tian had affected the white light while modifying the formation was because he had erased the white light''s spirit imprint in the Spirit Convergence Array.


    A spiritual imprint was the power of the soul left behind after a Symbol Array Master had laid down the array glyphs.


    The power of this soul supported the operation of the formation. It was the core of the formation.


    Of course, there was a faint connection between the person who set up the formation and the one who set up the formation. Normally, it wouldn''t affect anything. Even if it was erased, it wouldn''t affect the person who set up the formation.


    But this time was a bit different. When Lin Tian erased the mental imprint that White Light had left, it just so happened to be at the time White Light was in closed-door cultivation. Not to mention it was at the most critical time.


    A Symbol Master''s seclusion at the most critical moment would not be affected in the slightest, because he cultivates the power of his soul. If anything goes wrong, it will harm his soul, and he might even become an idiot ¡­


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian did not cultivate spiritual energy when he was in seclusion previously. However, he was still displeased when Gu Yan''er interrupted him because once his soul was damaged, it would be very troublesome.


    That was the case with the white light, but it was not that serious. Lin Tian used his own mental power to erase the mental imprint left by the white light, allowing the white light in his closed door cultivation to suddenly awaken.


    On the other hand, he did not injure the white light, but only caused it to fail when it went into seclusion this time.


    This time, he had finally gotten a sliver of an opportunity to break through. Naturally, he did not want to miss this chance and wanted to take this opportunity to break through and touch the threshold of the rank three spirit runemaster. However, right now, he had been interrupted by Lin Tian.


    White light was so angry that he almost vomited blood, which was why it had caused such a huge fire.


    Lin Tian didn''t even know that as he was completely immersed in modifying the Spirit Convergence Array.


    After erasing the mental imprint left behind by the person who had originally set up the formation, Lin Tian began to use his own Divine Palace''s memories to continuously improve the formation in front of him.


    Strands of psychic power turned into runes and fell onto the original formation.


    In the next moment, the formation had a slight change. Lin Tian''s heart was happy and he continued with his improvement plan.


    After who knows how long, Lin Tian finally retracted his Spiritual Force from the formation.


    He wiped the sweat from his brow and started to feel the power of the Spiritual Concentration Formation once more.


    In the next moment, after Lin Tian completely witnessed the Spirit Convergence Array emitting a devouring power, Lin Tian himself was also shocked.


    The Spiritual Concentration Formation was like a monster covered in tentacles. It frantically pulled the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and the earth and absorbed it into the formation.


    After which, the extremely majestic Spiritual Energy rushed into Lin Tian''s cave.


    "Hiss ¡­" Seeing this situation, Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. This improved Spirit Convergence Array was simply terrifying. How was this a Spirit Convergence Array? It was completely a Spirit Swallowing Array.


    A formation that devoured spirit energy.


    The surrounding Spiritual Energy was quickly filling up Lin Tian''s abode. However, because of this, the surrounding abodes were also affected.


    "Yes, how did the spirit energy in the cave decline so fast?" From the cave next to Lin Tian''s cave, the student that was originally sitting cross-legged in seclusion suddenly opened his eyes. He could feel that something was wrong.


    The Spiritual Energy in the cave that was originally filled with Spiritual Energy had actually decreased by half compared to before. Moreover, it was still decreasing rapidly.


    "What''s going on?" The student muttered to himself and then stopped his cultivation. He immediately stood up and wanted to leave the cave to see what was going on.


    He didn''t know until he left the cave, but the moment he left the cave, he was shocked.


    "This ¡­" The student was dumbstruck as he looked at the scene before him. At this moment, the world was shaking with terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations. However, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations were all gathered in one place.


    Not too far away from his cave, there was also a cave. At this moment, the powerful Spiritual Energy of the world and the Spiritual Energy within his cave had all been devoured into the cave.


    The student frowned. After thinking for a while, he muttered to himself: "That cave seemed to be Li Qingshan''s expression. However, he didn''t notice anything unusual before, why is it now ¡­"


    However, the student wasn''t at a loss. Since he didn''t know what was going on, he might as well take a look and see.


    After a while, he arrived in front of Li Qingshan''s abode.


    Of course, the current Li Qingshan''s abode belonged to Lin Tian.


    "Li Qingshan, what the hell are you doing? All the Spiritual Energy in my abode has actually come to your place ¡­" The moment the student saw Lin Tian, he couldn''t help but shout out.


    Obviously, he thought of Lin Tian as Li Qingshan.


    "..." This was the first time that he had felt the terrifying power of a array glyph. This Spirit Convergence Array, especially the modified Spirit Convergence Array, had heaven-defying might.


    The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth within a circumference of five kilometers was desperately gathering towards the cave Lin Tian was in.


    However, Lin Tian, of course, also heard someone speak behind him. However, he was in a daze just now so he didn''t hear too clearly. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the student.


    "Who are you?" The two of them asked at the same time.


    When the student saw that Lin Tian was so unfamiliar, he couldn''t help but ask: "Isn''t this Li Qingshan''s cave abode? Where is Li Qingshan?"


    "Oh, so it was because of me that you were injured by me. You should still be recuperating right now. This cave belongs to me now. If you want to find Li Qingshan, then you found the wrong place ¡­" Lin Tian was still in the midst of the Spirit Convergence Array''s terror and still hadn''t recovered his wits. He casually replied, obviously not wanting to say too much.


    "What!" Lin Tian''s voice was light, but to that student it sounded like thunder from a clear sky.


    Li Qingshan, himself, and the other students of the inner courtyard were all the same. The reason they had their own cave dwelling was because they were all students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky and were extremely powerful.


    As for the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, there weren''t many in the entire Northern Courtyard. There were only a handful of them, and if they wanted to occupy these caves, they had to defeat the students in these caves. This was the rule of the Northern Courtyard.


    So what Lin Tian meant by what he said just now was that he defeated Li Qingshan!


    How is this possible? The student looked at Lin Tian with an expression of disbelief.

 C202

    "What, what did you say? Say it again?" The student was still in shock and could not help but ask again.


    "Are you sick? Can''t you see that I''m busy?" Lin Tian had just been carefully studying the Spirit Convergence Array that he had modified. Being disturbed by this student was already quite impatient, but this student did not have the slightest bit of insight and was even asking Lin Tian. Lin Tian naturally did not have a good expression.


    "Hmm?" After the student heard Lin Tian''s words, his face suddenly darkened: "Boy, you need to know who you''re talking to?"


    "I don''t care who you are, I will give you three breaths of time. Scram for me. If you don''t scram, I don''t mind lying down for three months ¡­" Lin Tian''s thoughts were successively interrupted by this student. The displeasure in his heart had already reached the critical point, and was currently on the verge of exploding out.


    "You''re courting death!" The student was immediately angered. This was the first time someone dared to speak to him like this ever since he came to live in this cave.


    Even the previous Li Qingshan didn''t dare to speak to him in such a manner. This unknown brat in front of him was even more arrogant than Li Qingshan!


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian finally could not bear it anymore. This student''s originally aloof tone made Lin Tian feel somewhat disgusted, and right now, he was observing the change in the Spirit Convergence Array. He was thinking that if there was anything wrong with it, he could still change it a bit, but after being disturbed like this, he had completely lost his mood.


    Ever since he had broken through to the Aurous Core stage, he had not fought against anyone else. Now that this blind student had delivered him to the door, he could use him to practice ¡­


    "Hmm?" The coldness on that student''s face became even more intense. He also didn''t think that Lin Tian would actually have such a violent temper. He started to fight without saying a word.


    However, since that was the case, there was nothing left to say.


    "Break for me!" Facing Lin Tian''s strong palm, the student''s eyes focused and then he shouted softly. The wind from the palm in his hand instantly scattered the wind from the Heaven Collapsing Palm, but the Heaven Collapsing Palm power had also exploded, however, his strength was not weak. Facing the explosive force of the Heaven Collapsing Palm, his hands slightly moved, and a moment later, the force was dispersed.


    At the same time, he was just about to move forward again and swing his palm towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s body was even faster than his and had actually charged straight at him.


    After Lin Tian broke through to the Aurous Core stage, the speed of his God Transforming Steps also doubled. His figure was like a ghost. Without waiting for the student to make a move, Lin Tian had already rushed in front of the student.


    "Bam!" Lin Tian did not use his palm. Instead, he used his physical body to forcefully face that student.


    The student immediately felt his body collide against an incomparably hard steel plate. A powerful impact and destructive force immediately made him feel a sweet sensation in his throat.


    He was shocked, but it was too late for him to block it. His body was thrown backward by the strong impact. He was pushed back dozens of steps before he managed to stabilize himself.


    But how could Lin Tian give him a chance to breathe. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian''s body once again rushed forward.


    With a bang, another violent collision occurred. That student once again felt a strong destructive force spreading around his body.


    In that instant, he felt as if all his internal organs had been knocked out of shape. He continuously sucked in cold air, the shock in his heart to the extreme.


    "Come on!" After the two consecutive collisions, not only did Lin Tian not feel the slightest discomfort, on the contrary, his eyes were currently flashing with an extremely hot light. In the next moment, his body once again pounced towards that student.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang, bang!" Lin Tian''s body was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. At this time, there was no longer any restraints, and he charged forward without pause.


    The God Transforming Steps combined with his absolutely strong physical body made Lin Tian almost invincible in close combat.


    The God Transforming Steps gave him unparalleled speed, and with his strong physical body, Lin Tian did not fear any opponent!


    "How, how is this possible?" That student''s pupils suddenly shrunk, wanting to dodge Lin Tian''s attack. But no matter how he dodged, in the next moment, Lin Tian''s body still followed him and hit his body.


    The anger in that student''s heart could be imagined. Originally, he had only come to take a look, but why did the density of spiritual energy in his cave drop by half? Moreover, it was still decreasing.


    He just wanted to see what was going on, but before he could say anything, this brat directly attacked.


    It was fine if they were to attack, but this boy was like a wild beast. From the moment he attacked until now, he did not even have the chance to attack.


    He had been passively defending the entire time, but even if he had to defend, he would not be able to defend against this wild beast.


    This brat''s body is not even the body of a human ¡­


    The student wanted to cry but had no tears. He originally thought that he would completely crush this fellow, but now, it seems that he was completely crushed ¡­


    Just as Lin Tian was fighting with the student, the change in the Spirit Convergence Array also caused all the surrounding experts to come out.


    Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing were no exception.


    They could all feel the change within their cave. It was as if their cave was unable to store their Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy within their cave was being robbed and it rushed to another place.


    Following the directions of the spiritual force devouring route, Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er arrived at Lin Tian''s cave abode as expected.


    Although they had been prepared for this, they were still shocked when they saw the scene before their eyes.


    However, they were not shocked by the Spirit Convergence Array in front of Lin Tian''s cave, but they were shocked by Lin Tian.


    That''s right, Lin Tian, he, he''s fighting someone else again ¡­ ¡­


    "Is he a battle maniac?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but sigh.


    "I think he wants to torture the students of the Northern Courtyard ¡­" Du Feng said softly.


    "..." Gu Yan''er did not say anything.


    Because their cave was the closest to Lin Tian, the three of them were the first to reach this place. However, just as they arrived, they saw Lin Tian using his physical body to brutally destroy an Inner Academy student ¡­


    The student staggered backward until he spat out more than a mouthful of blood ¡­


    Gu Yan''er and the other two had arrived relatively early, so they watched the battle from the sidelines.


    Before long, more and more people began to arrive. These people were all students of the inner courtyard, and also the experts of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    "Isn''t that An Kang?" Suddenly, someone called out.


    The ''well'' he was talking about was the student who had been knocked to the verge of collapse by Lin Tian.


    "It''s An Kang. But, how did An Kang get hit like this by that kid?" Someone nodded and then looked towards Lin Tian.


    "Yi, this brat, isn''t he that Lin Tian who has won the limelight recently?" Someone seemed to have recognized Lin Tian.

 C203

    Lin Tian had become too famous recently. Entering the Proclamation of Azure Sky as a new student and the first student of the sixth rank to enter the Azure Province in a thousand years were nothing much.


    More importantly, after entering the Northern Courtyard, this boy called Lin Tian had continuously fought three battles with the Inner Academy''s students, Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, and Li Qingshan. The results of these three battles also ended with Lin Tian''s victory.


    Also, the three people that fought with Lin Tian, without exception, were all heavily injured by Lin Tian. Until now, the three of them were still lying on the bed and had not completely recovered.


    It could be said that these three great battles caused an uproar among the students of the Northern Courtyard. Of course, it also completely confirmed Lin Tian''s position.


    Moreover, everyone had heard that the white-clothed saint, Ji Muge, had written a challenge to Lin Tian to fight at the Freshman Rites three months from now.


    An existence that could cause the white-clothed saint son''s eyes to connect naturally made everyone more and more curious about Lin Tian.


    Although he was curious, none of the other students dared to challenge Lin Tian.


    This was because they really could not afford to lose. Three months later, not only would be the grand ceremony for new students, but it would also be a competition to rerank the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. They did not want to lie in bed for three months at this time.


    But what was this An Kang thinking? He didn''t know that this brat was a fiend, he shouldn''t be provoked ¡­


    Those students who came to watch the show were somewhat puzzled.


    However, they had guessed correctly. An Kang did not know Lin Tian. Not only did he not know Lin Tian, but he had never heard of him. An Kang had always been in the cave during the previous month, cultivating a secret technique.


    So he truly did not know what Lin Tian had done.


    However, he suddenly felt that the Spiritual Energy in his cave was rapidly decreasing. Thus, he came out to take a look. However, he didn''t expect that if he disagreed, he would be beaten up by this brat.


    The current An Kang was indeed being beaten up by Lin Tian. It could be said that he was quite sullen, but there was nothing he could do. Lin Tian''s strongest point was his physical body. If he wanted to fight Lin Tian with his physical body, he would only be crushed.


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    "Bang bang bang!"


    The powerful impact caused An Kang, who was at the end, to cough out more blood, but Lin Tian''s speed got faster and faster and his strength also became more and more tyrannical. This made An Kang completely unable to resist and the current An Kang was heavily injured by Lin Tian.


    But even so, Lin Tian didn''t have the slightest intention of stopping.


    Lin Tian was currently extremely excited on top of his head. How could he possibly stop? Originally, after the last three great battles, he hadn''t really fought anymore. Now, of course, he was also testing his own strength.


    After breaking through to the Aurous Core stage, Lin Tian''s physical body had basically become stronger by an entire grade. Against this An Kang, it was simply as easy as blowing off dust.


    This also gave him more expectations for the Freshmen Rites three months from now. The white-clothed Holy Son, Ji Yue, was definitely a strong opponent, but even so, Lin Tian wasn''t afraid.


    "Bam!" Finally, Lin Tian''s body was knocked away by An Kang. An Kang''s body flew back and heavily smashed into the big tree. This time, the force of the impact actually smashed the big tree down and broke it into two.


    Ankang''s body softly fell to the ground. It seemed that he had suffered a serious injury and would probably be bedridden for three months.


    Lin Tian''s mouth still had a hint of a smile, as if he hadn''t finished yet. Clearly, he hadn''t completely enjoyed himself.


    However, when he turned around, he didn''t know when, but there were many students in the vicinity of his cave abode. Those students, if nothing unexpected happened, should all be students of the inner courtyard.


    Was he here just to watch the battle between him and that student?


    Lin Tian''s brows wrinkled. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er. They were unexpectedly also blankly looking at Lin Tian.


    "Why are you guys here?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and then asked the three of them.


    The three of them had already recovered from the shock and their gazes turned towards Lin Tian''s cave. Then, they pointed at it.


    Lin Tian immediately realized that he had come for the dwelling.


    He had already known that the Spirit Convergence Array that he had modified was incomparably powerful. It was practically a plundering of the surrounding Spiritual Energy of the world as it sucked it into his cave.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tiandeng also understood why that student who was blown away by him, as well as the other students, had come to find him. Presumably, it was because the spirit energy in their cave had suddenly decreased greatly, that was why he wanted to see what exactly was happening here.


    However, Lin Tian did not explain much. He coldly swept his eyes over the crowd: "Seniors, what business do you have with me?"


    "I''m fine, I''m fine ¡­"


    "I''m just strolling around, I''m just looking around ¡­"


    "Un, you go ahead first. We will be neighbors from now on. Move more ¡­"


    The crowd that was swept by Lin Tian''s gaze immediately tactfully flew away.


    If they didn''t leave now, they would be fools.


    An Kang''s previous lesson was that, in front of them, he was lying down alive ¡­


    It would definitely take at least three months to recover from such a state.


    They did not want Lin Tian to misunderstand them, so they would have to lie down for three months after that ¡­ ¡­


    However, this time around, all the students of the inner courtyard had a new understanding of Lin Tian.


    Whether it was Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, or Li Qingshan, none of them had personally witnessed it before. They had all heard it from the hearsay, and many people even suspected it was an exaggeration, so they had some doubts about Lin Tian''s strength in their hearts. But today, they could only watch as An Kang was forcefully blown up by Lin Tian, and was directly struck with their own physical bodies.


    After this incident, none of them dared to look down on Lin Tian anymore. They also had a new understanding of Lin Tian''s true strength.


    After all, An Kang was a true student of the inner courtyard. He was ranked 77th on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    But when Lin Tian fought An Kang, he actually directly crushed An Kang. From this, one could imagine how terrifying Lin Tian was.


    However, after everyone had left, in the mission pavilion of the North, South, and East Branch Academies, a golden name list was quietly changing.


    Originally the 77th place on the list was An Kang''s name. Currently, An Kang''s name had already disappeared from the 77th place and was replaced by a name called Lin Tian.


    Meanwhile, An Kang''s name had been changed to 83rd place.


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky was a list that changed in real time. The moment a fight broke out between the students on it, the victor would be decided and it would immediately appear on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.

 C204

    Lin Tian did not know of any changes in the outside world. He waited until all the students had left before saying to Gu Yan''er and the other two: "Alright, stop standing outside. Let''s go and take a look inside."


    Lin Tian directly invited the three of them into his own cave.


    Just as he entered the cave, Lin Tian was also somewhat shocked.


    This was the first time he had seen the changes in the abode since the Spirit Convergence Array was modified by him.


    At this moment, the spiritual energy in the cave had almost become materialized. Inside the cave, there was thick spiritual energy, almost to the point of turning into rain.


    As soon as they entered the cave, they immediately felt relaxed and happy. This level of Spiritual Energy was truly terrifying!


    "How, how did you do it?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    "I improved the Spiritual Concentration Formation." Lin Tian didn''t hide anything from Fang Xing. Lin Tian didn''t need to hide everything from Fang Xing and the rest like he did to outsiders. Moreover, Fang Xing also knew that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master.


    "Oh." Fang Xing, on the other hand, was not too surprised. It wasn''t surprising that some of the more powerful charm spell masters possessed this kind of ability.


    "Can you teach me? I also want to change our cave mansion." Fang Xing directly opened his mouth. He and Du Feng shared an Immortal''s Cave, which was originally not enough for them. Not to mention that a lot of the spiritual power in their cave had been stolen by Lin Tian.


    "Of course." Lin Tian directly agreed. Fang Xing had a natural born talisman body, so he should have put a lot of effort into his cultivation. If Fang Xing were to focus on his cultivation of the talisman Dao, then his future accomplishments would be much greater than his cultivation in the Martial Dao.


    Without hesitation, Lin TianAo sent out a stream of psychokinesis toward the center of Fang Xing''s brows.


    In the next moment, Fang Xing''s Divine Mansion was filled with memories of the Dao of Talismans.


    Fang Xing nodded his head and digested the information before saying, "Since that''s the case, I won''t stay any longer. I''ll go back and go into closed door cultivation ¡­"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded.


    Du Feng and Gu Yan''er were sensible and did not stay for long. They had just received their martial arts cultivation techniques and would be carrying out their mission in another ten days or so. At this moment, they naturally had to seize the moment to train so that they could have an additional chance of survival.


    Lin Tian sent everyone off and did not waste any time. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    The whirlpool of Dantian was like a huge swallowing machine as it crazily devoured the surrounding dense Spiritual Energy of the world into its own Dantian.


    The terrifying Spiritual Energy completely filled Lin Tian''s body in an instant.


    The strong Spiritual Energy rapidly nourished Lin Tian''s body. When Lin Tian fought An Kang, he used up a large amount of Origin Energy and even converted it into a large amount to store in Lin Tian''s aurous core.


    Lin Tian continued to absorb and emit the surrounding spiritual energy, tempering and consolidating his Aurous Core stage cultivation.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also took out the martial art manual that he had obtained. The cultivation of the Sky Dragon Tomb also had a time limit, only ten days. Moreover, the Sky Dragon Tomb was originally an incomplete martial art, so naturally he had to spend more time to comprehend it.


    Heavenly Dragon Tomb was a set of spear skills. It was simply a custom-made martial art for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian possessed a treasure like the Dragon Scale Spear, but he did not have a powerful martial art, so the power of the Dragon Scale Spear was far from being developed.


    The next task they were going to carry out was the beast tide mission. It didn''t need to be thought about to know that it was extremely dangerous. It wasn''t like Lin Tian had never seen a beast tide before.


    Therefore, in the next few days, he would practice this set of Spear Arts. At that time, there would be an additional life-saving ability amongst the beast tide.


    The Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb was directly opened by Lin Tian. There were still some blood stains on it, but it was unknown who left them.


    The Heavenly Dragon Tomb had a total of seven forms, and in the beginning of the Superclass, it was already very clear.


    Unfortunately, this martial art only had the first three moves, and the next four moves were all for San Yi.


    After the third move, it was obvious that it had been torn apart by someone. Lin Tian guessed that this level of martial art was very likely a Grade 9 martial art.


    This was because there were people who had cultivated the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb before, and the person who cultivated it before even wrote his own insights on it.


    "Heavenly Dragon Burial, peerless power and imposing manner. As the saying goes, Heavenly Dragon Burial, is the will of the Buried Dragon. The dragon is peerless, but this martial art can slay a dragon if it is mastered!"


    The words on the label were very domineering. If one could cultivate this Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb to mastery, they could even slay dragons!


    Dragon race, what kind of existence was that? However, even though he had practiced such a martial art, he was still able to slay dragons. Even if it was an exaggeration, it was sufficient to prove the might of such a martial art.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly flipped open the first style of the Sky Dragon Tomb.


    "Kill!"


    The first stance was extermination.


    Lin Tian quickly remembered that move. Afterwards, his soul moved and the Immemorial Dragon Rune between his eyebrows immediately appeared as if his heart had sensed it. Immediately, he shot out a wave of energy that directly landed on that martial art.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Lin Tian clearly saw that the characters of the Heavenly Dragon Burial were suddenly activated by the Ancient Dragon Rune. Afterwards, they turned into a transparent human figure that was projected into the Dragon Rune Dimension.


    At this moment, Lin Tian''s mind was completely immersed within the Ancient Dragon Symbol. The Ancient Dragon Symbol was flashing crazily and the human figure was also crazily moving.


    "First Style of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb, Kill!" A long spear immediately appeared in the figure''s hand. After the figure shouted out those words, the spear suddenly moved. A monstrous strength immediately erupted out from the figure.


    Accompanying the trembling of the long spear, an afterimage of the long spear was instantly pierced into the distance.


    "Hua!" In the next moment, Lin Tian felt that the entire Dragon Mark dimension seemed to be trembling uncontrollably. When Lin Tian saw this, his mouth went dry and his heart was full of fear.


    Was this the power of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb?


    This was only the first move, yet it was already so powerful. It was simply terrifying ¡­


    In the next moment, the transparent figure disappeared from the Dragon Symbol Space.


    Within Lin Tian''s divine soul, he was still unceasingly practicing the move that appeared in the Immemorial Dragon Symbol.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s heart moved and the Dragon Scale Spear roared out. It turned into a dragon''s shadow and appeared in Lin Tian''s hand.


    Boom!" Lin Tian followed the technique that appeared in the Immemorial Dragon Talisman just now and directly thrust his spear at the stone wall of the cave.


    A monstrous sound immediately rang out. Within his cave abode, a spear imprint that was neither deep nor shallow suddenly appeared on the stone wall.


    However, in the next moment, the entire stone wall started to tremble violently. In the next moment, the stone wall shattered and turned into fine powder that fell down.


    Half of the rock wall had been penetrated by Lin Tian''s spear!

 C205

    It was just that he had to test the power of the first move, the first move, by trying to use it in the cave. Lin Tian did not hesitate and continued to open up the second move.


    The symbols on the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb once again formed a transparent human figure. After which, it began to practice the second move within the Dragon Symbol Space.


    Just as Lin Tian was continuously cultivating the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb.


    At this moment, a shocking piece of news came from the outside world.


    Tian Luo Kingdom, Imperial Capital, Tian Luo City.


    A shocking piece of news came from the Tian Luo Kingdom''s royal family. The Emperor of Tian Luo had finally come out of seclusion.


    The king of the Tian Luo Kingdom had already broken through to the Star River Realm, stepping into the Life and Death Realm, becoming a Profound Life Realm expert.


    Because of that, he had also increased his lifespan by dozens of years, causing the entire Tian Luo Country to be shaken.


    At this moment, the king of Tian Luo and another old man were sitting together in the palace.


    When the old man saw the angry expression on the king''s face, his hair turned black, and he said in a soft voice, "Congratulations to the king. This breakthrough is truly a joyous occasion. Take it as a blessing from the heavens."


    "Qing Yuan, even you want to tease me?" The king, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, smiled and waved his hand.


    It turned out that the old man sitting opposite to the king was none other than the headmaster of the Azure Province Institute, Gu Qingyuan.


    However from the tone of their voices, Gu Qingyuan was actually very familiar with this Emperor.


    The king glanced at Gu Qingyuan, who had a head full of gray hair and was on the verge of death, before he smiled and said: "Qing Yuan, with your current situation, you have mastered the Undead Profound Realm. Or perhaps, this is the prelude to a breakthrough."


    "Mm, it won''t take long." Gu Qingyuan nodded and didn''t say anything more.


    "That brat called Lin Tian, how is he now?" The king was chatting casually, but it was all about Lin Tian.


    "Entering the Northern Courtyard is within my expectations. This kid has the same temper as Yun Hai back then." When it came to Xiao Yunhai, Gu Qingyuan''s expression suddenly turned grave. He then said: "After Lin Tian left Sky Dragon City, Yun Hai went to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Sect. He really did find some clues ¡­"


    "Hmm?" At this point, the king''s face turned slightly solemn. "Does the Blood Demon Sect still have a secret organization within the Tian Luo territory?"


    "Yes!" Gu Qing Yuan''s face was filled with worry. He then said, "Based on the news that Yun Hai has sent over these past few days, it seems that the Blood Demon Sect is quite plotting something. They have also made their move recently ¡­"


    "What action?" The king could not help but ask.


    "Sky City has a beast tide every few years, that''s not a big deal. But in these few years, the frequency of beast tide has increased, and not only that, every time after the beast tide, there will be more casualties. In my opinion, there should be someone behind all of this." A trace of coldness flashed across Gu Qingyuan''s eyes.


    "Send people to investigate?" The king probed.


    "Your Majesty, don''t worry. This time, I have already sent the presidents of the four branch academies, as well as some of their trusted students, to secretly investigate this beast tide. However, what I am most worried about is not this, but rather, it seems that the Azure Province Academy is contaminated as well ¡­" Gu Qingyuan''s tone became more and more worried.


    When the king heard this, he couldn''t help but frown. He understood Gu Qingyuan''s meaning and also understood Gu Qingyuan''s worries. However, if Gu Qingyuan''s worries were true, then there would be big trouble.


    "However, this time, that boy Lin Tian will also participate in the task of blocking the monster tide. I hope this boy will find something. Tian Luo, it won''t be so peaceful ¡­ ¡­" Gu Qingyuan said with a faint smile.


    "Then I''ll have to report this matter to the Glory Sect. Once Tian Luo is affected, the other kingdoms will be affected too. Furthermore, the Blood Demon Sect is a sore point in the Glory Sect ¡­" The king calculated in his mind and said.


    However, as they spoke up to this point, both of them fell silent.


    After a long while, the king suddenly said, "It''s the beginning of the Tian Luo Mystic Realm. It''s time for the Great War of All Nations ¡­"


    "The king can rest assured. I, Tian Luo, will not be in my lowly position this year." Gu Qingyuan lightly smiled and comforted her.


    "Because of that boy called Lin Tian?" The king laughed involuntarily, "Qing Yuan, are you so optimistic about your disciple''s future?"


    "We''ll know when the time comes." Gu Qingyuan didn''t say anything more. The king merely smiled and didn''t refute him.


    At the same time, in Tian Luo city, there were a total of two huge merchant guilds. One was the official Tian Luo Merchant Union, and the other was the common folk''s Clear Pavilion.


    At this moment, in Tian Luo City, Qing Xuan Pavilion''s headquarters.


    A man in black showed up. He was wearing a black robe and even his face was covered by a black mask. Apparently, he did not want anyone to see his face.


    After arriving at the headquarters, this strange man in black did not say much and only took out a token from his chest pocket.


    After seeing that medallion, the maid in charge of receiving the guests did not say anything and directly brought the black robed man to the headquarters'' Pavilion Elder Jiang''s room.


    "Elder Jiang, long time no see ¡­" After the black clothed person entered the room, he laughed loudly towards Old Jiang.


    However, there was a trace of coldness, terror, hoarseness and happiness in that voice.


    It sounded extremely terrifying, so much so that it did not sound like a sound a human could make.


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Elder Jiang was appreciating the treasure when he suddenly heard this voice. He immediately stopped what he was doing and turned around to see the black clothed man.


    "It''s you!" There was a trace of disbelief in Elder Jiang''s eyes.


    "What? Does Elder Jiang feel strange seeing me?" The man in black looked at Elder Jiang''s expression and chuckled.


    "How could that be? I just didn''t expect that you would come today ¡­" Elder Jiang then came back to his senses and immediately covered up the shock in his eyes. He walked straight to the door of the room and looked around. After that, he closed the door and walked in front of the black-clothed man.


    "Elder Jiang, you don''t need to speak any more nonsense. You should know the purpose of my visit." The black-clothed man went straight to the point.


    "Of course, but that little girl has been busy lately. It seems like she won''t be able to return in a short while ¡­" Elder Jiang spoke with a hint of awkwardness.


    "There''s no rush. This time, I''m going to be staying here for a period of time. It should be around ten to fifteen days. It should be enough time for her to finish dealing with her matters and leave with me." The black clothed man smiled slightly and said.


    "Mm. Ten days to half a month is enough." Elder Jiang nodded his head before saying: "I''ll send a message right away, let that girl come back ¡­"


    "Un, it can''t be any better. A natural bewitching body. Back then, when that girl was young, she had a face that could captivate souls. Now, she is probably a disaster. I am really looking forward to it ¡­" The black-clothed man laughed out loud. His laughter was filled with lust.

 C206

    At the same time, in the Qing Xuan Hall of the Azure Continent ¡­


    It was already late in the evening and Hua Ruyi had been tired all day. She was still settling accounts when she suddenly heard an ear-piercing cry. That was why her expression suddenly became stiff.


    However, at this moment, Jiang Liu''er was the first to rush out of Clear Pavilion.


    "Sister Hua, Sister Hua, Grandpa Jiang has arrived!" Not long after, Jiang Liu''er dashed in from the outside with a flying bird in her hand.


    Jiang Liu''er had a smile on her face. She didn''t notice that Hua Ruyi''s expression had become strange.


    Hua Ruyi suddenly had a bad premonition. After calculating the time, there should be a few days left before the appointed time.


    Could it be that the news that Elder Jiang had sent over this time had something to do with that person?


    "What is written on grandpa Jiang? Why did you personally open it, Big Sister Hua ¡­" Jiang Liu''er took out an envelope from the top of the bird. However, what was written on the envelope was actually "Hua Ruyi".


    However, right now, Jiang Liu''er suddenly didn''t dare to open the letter and read it. From the looks of it, what Grandpa Jiang had said should only be directed to Big Sister Hua alone.


    "Maybe it''s something important." Hua Ruyi forced a smile, then she calmly took the envelope from Jiang Liu''er''s hand and put it aside.


    "Sister Hua, why don''t you open it up and read it? Maybe Grandpa Jiang has something important to discuss with you." Jiang Liu''er was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Hua Ruyi to not immediately open the envelope, and instead place it to the side.


    "Wait till I''ve settled the score." Hua Ruyi didn''t want Jiang Liu''er to know about this, so she smiled and continued to calculate the accounts.


    "Hmm?" Today, Big Sister Hua''s performance was truly too abnormal. One must know, if it was before, when Big Sister Hua was faced with Grandpa Jiang''s letter, she would have opened it at the very first moment, and would not have hidden it from Jiang Liu''er.


    But this time, it was obvious that Big Sister Hua was trying to hide it from Jiang Liu''er.


    However, Jiang Liu''er only had some doubts. He didn''t think too much about it and directly walked towards the backyard.


    After seeing Jiang Liu''er leave, Hua Rui then directly opened the envelope.


    After seeing the contents of the letter, even though Hua Ruyi was prepared in her heart, her body couldn''t help but tremble. Her eyes immediately turned red.


    "Unexpectedly, what''s coming is finally coming ¡­" He had guessed it right. Elder Jiang had asked her to head to the Clear Pavilion headquarters in Tian Luo City immediately without any other reason, it was because of the person who bought Hua Ruyi. The purpose of this visit was naturally to bring her away from this place.


    Hua Rui knew that this day would come, but she didn''t expect it to come so suddenly.


    However, at this moment, Hua Ruyi suddenly thought of a person. That person who had solemnly vowed to her before, "I''m in charge of your matters." The man.


    "But how can I get in touch with him?" Hua Ruyi''s eyes immediately lit up.


    Although she hadn''t interacted much with Lin Tian, Hua Ruyi knew that he was a righteous man. Ever since she offered her life, Lin Tian had not agreed, and Hua Ruyi knew that.


    Although she hadn''t interacted much with Lin Tian, she didn''t know why, but that youth had already cast a ripple in her heart.


    Thinking back to how she had offered to sacrifice herself to him in order to drag the world''s water, Hua Ruyi felt her cheeks flush red.


    Moreover, for some reason, when she was with Lin Tian, Hua Ruyi felt an indescribable sense of security.


    Thinking of this, a blush immediately appeared on Hua Ruyi''s face. She inwardly scolded herself, ''Was I in love?''


    How is that possible? I''ve only seen him a few times, how can I be tempted by him? Furthermore, that fellow seems to have a fiancee ¡­


    Furthermore, the reason why that fellow said that he would interfere in her affairs was probably because of her fiancee ¡­


    Thinking of this, Hua Ruyi couldn''t help but sigh. She couldn''t help but think: "If he didn''t have a fiancee, how great would it be ¡­"


    At this moment, in the dark room, Jiang Liu''er saw Hua Ruyi''s expression.


    Even though he was young, he was still a small fry and he could roughly guess what was going on. He thought that Grandpa Jiang had sent a letter to give Big Sister Hua the matter of Zhang Luo''s husband, which was why Big Sister Hua had such a reaction ¡­


    "Sister Hua, are you in love?" In the next moment, Jiang Liu''er walked out of the dark room and asked Hua Ruyi.


    Hua Ruyi was immersed in her own thoughts when she suddenly heard this sentence. She was shocked and hurriedly stuffed the letter into her pocket.


    "Stinking brat, you dare to say that about your sister!" Hua Ruyi glared at Jiang Liu''er in annoyance.


    "Isn''t it normal to be thinking of spring? You are already old, it''s time for you to get married ¡­" Jiang Liu''er rolled her eyes and said, "Big sister Hua, this time, did Grandpa Jiang arrange a marriage for you?"


    "How do you know?" Hua Ruyi was stunned for a moment before she asked subconsciously.


    "Haha, my guess is correct." Jiang Liu''er said complacently: "But grandpa Jiang is serious, why didn''t I ask for your opinion? According to me, big sister Hua is so beautiful, I should look for my own husband ¡­"


    Jiang Liu''er continued regretfully: "I think brother Tian is pretty good. Big Sister Hua, you may be older than him, but I feel that the two of you are a good match ¡­"


    Hua Rui did not expect Jiang Liu''er to actually want Lin Tian to be his brother-in-law ¡­


    "Pui!" What am I thinking? " Hua Ruyi spat at herself, but her heart was moved. She asked: "Brat, do you know how to contact Lin Tian?"


    "Sister Hua, are you really seeing heaven?" Jiang Liu''er''s eyes were wide open with disbelief written all over her face.


    "Don''t spout nonsense. I have an agreement with him previously. There are some things that I have to trouble him with ¡­" Hua Ruyi felt that her face was already flushed. She immediately scolded him and found an excuse.


    "Oh, so that''s how it is ¡­" Jiang Liu''er did not think too much about it, and then she thought for a moment: "Didn''t Brother Tian choose the Northern Courtyard? Moreover, he seemed to have told me before that if there is an urgent matter, you can go to the academy and find that old man called Elder Zhang. He will take me to Brother Tian ¡­"


    "That''s good, little brat. Elder sister has a request for you. Go find Elder Zhang and bring a message to Lin Tian." Hua Ruyi''s eyes moved slightly as she spoke to Jiang Liu''er.


    "What do you mean?" Jiang Liu''er could not help but ask.


    "Ask him, do you remember what he said?" Hua Ruyi hesitated for a moment before biting her lips.


    "Hmm?" Jiang Liu''er was stunned for a moment before asking, "That''s all?"


    "That''s all. He knows what to do." Hua Ruyi thought about it and instructed, "No matter how he answers, or how he reacts, you have to come back and tell me. Do you hear me?"


    "Alright!" Jiang Liu''er nodded her head heavily. This was the first time he saw Sister Hua''s serious expression, so it must be a very serious matter. He secretly made up his mind that he would finish this matter successfully ¡­

 C207

    Currently, Lin Tian, who was in seclusion, had no idea what was happening in the outside world.


    The power of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb''s martial arts technique was beyond Lin Tian''s imagination.


    After ten days of studying, Lin Tian had just mastered the first two moves.


    The Dragon''s Tomb had a total of seven styles, which was explained in the Superclass.


    But even though he had only practiced the first two moves, they both made Lin Tian feel how terrifying this Sky Dragon Tomb was.


    The first form of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb, was extermination!


    The first stance, spear art was as its name implied. The spear art contained within it a desolate and desolate killing intent. It contained a hint of the intent of annihilation, incomparably powerful.


    The second stance was called ''Afterimage''!


    If one was able to practice this move to mastery, one would be able to create hundreds of spear shadows in the blink of an eye. If one was able to practice this move to perfection, one would be able to release 1000 spear shadows in an instant.


    There were beginnings in the cultivation of martial arts. Initial, mastery, and mastery were also different.


    The entrance was only to say that he knew how to execute this martial art, but he might not be able to fully display the power of this martial art.


    Xiao Cheng had basically mastered the essence of this martial art and could be considered to have reached a higher level of mastery.


    Mastery of the Great Perfection would allow one to unleash 80% of the power of a particular martial art. This strength had already surpassed the power of most practitioners.


    Under the same situation, with the same level of cultivation, the two of them practiced the same martial arts together. When a martial arts cultivator reached mastery, he could instantly destroy that martial arts cultivator with the same cultivation realm with a single punch.


    Therefore, it had a close relationship with the control of one''s strength and proficiency, as well as with the strength of a martial cultivator.


    There was no need to even mention the fact that he had attained the level of perfection. A person who had reached the level of perfection must be a genius when it came to comprehending martial arts.


    Martial arts at the Perfection Stage could completely display the power of the martial arts. It could even surpass the martial arts''s grade shackles and release a greater power.


    Lin Tian practiced for ten days and he only practiced the first two moves to the initial stage.


    In other words, if Lin Tian went out to fight with others and used this spear technique, he could only unleash half of the power of this spear technique ¡­


    However, Lin Tian''s heart did not feel discouraged at all. Martial arts were originally not something that could be cultivated through closed door cultivation. If one wanted to cultivate to perfection, then they would need actual combat.


    So after that, Lin Tian could only use this kind of powerful martial arts in actual combat.


    Originally, they were going to face the beast tide mission. After completing the beast tide task, it would be the best thing to unceasingly refine their own Sky Dragon Burial Martial Arts.


    Previously, Lin Tian thought that this martial art was a Grade Nine Martial Arts, but after cultivating it, Lin Tian absolutely believed that this Heavenly Dragon Tomb was not just a Grade Nine Martial Arts. If it was the complete version of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, then the grade would definitely be above Grade Nine.


    As for martial arts above Grade Nine, that was the legendary Manifestation martial arts.


    Stealing the fortune of heaven and earth, the Manifestation martial art was the truly powerful and terrifying martial art.


    Right now, Lin Tian could only use half of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb''s power. It could be imagined how much power this Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb could have.


    What''s more, Lin Tian still had five moves that he hadn''t cultivated!


    Ten days passed in a flash. Lin Tian naturally could not violate the rules of the Northern Courtyard and directly return the martial arts technique.


    The next time he wanted to continue cultivating this technique, he would need to exchange for it with contribution points.


    But Lin Tian didn''t really want to return it. He felt that this Sky Dragon Tomb should still be a secret. If he were to return the martial arts now, who would take a fancy to it and take it away?


    He didn''t have time to wait, so after Lin Tian came out of seclusion, he went straight to Qian Jue.


    Teacher Qian Jue was still on the fifth floor of the Missions Pavilion.


    "Instructor Thousand-Jue." Lin Tian softly opened his mouth, waking the rest of the people who were still resting with their eyes closed.


    "Hmm?" Qian Jue suddenly opened his eyes and saw Lin Tian. Then, he gently nodded his head: "Did you come to return the martial arts?"


    "Yes, and no." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth.


    "Hmm?" Qian Jue''s gaze was like a cold arrow, shooting straight at Lin Tian: "You saying this makes me a little confused. What, you want to break the rules?"


    Saying that, the aura on Qian Jue''s body suddenly became biting cold, as if he would attack Lin Tian in the next moment.


    "Instructor Qian Jue, please listen to me." Lin Tian immediately shook his head. He didn''t want to be misunderstood and offend him.


    Lin Tian could easily offend the students of the Northern Courtyard because at worst, it would just be a battle. No one dared to accept this, so Lin Tian could just beat them to the ground.


    However, the teachers of the Northern Courtyard could not be easily offended.


    These instructors were all in their respective positions. Qian Jue was the instructor in charge of the Martial Arts Hall. If he offended Qian Jue, he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to enter the North Courtyard''s Martial Arts Hall.


    "This student wants to continue borrowing time for this martial art. I wonder if there is a way?" Lin Tian directly asked.


    Initially, he did not intend to occupy this martial art. After all, it belonged to the academy.


    "Continued borrowing time?" Qian Jue frowned, but his expression softened. He didn''t answer Lin Tian''s question and instead asked: "Why do you want to extend the time you can borrow?"


    "Reporting to instructor, this kind of martial arts has been comprehended slightly by me, but ten days is too short. Before I have fully comprehended it, I have no choice but to return it. Since I don''t have contribution points, I can''t borrow it again, so I would like to ask instructor if there are any other ways?" Lin Tian said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.


    "Oh, he actually comprehended some of these martial arts?" Thousand-Jue''s interest was piqued. He smiled and nodded: "If I''m not wrong, you should be borrowing an incomplete martial art called Dragon''s Tomb, right?"


    "That''s right!" Lin Tian nodded.


    Interesting. In all my years as a teacher in the Martial Arts Hall, I have never seen a student who directly chose an incomplete martial art. Moreover, he even comprehended a small part of it ¡­" Initially, if you want this martial art, you only need to return it and exchange it with enough contribution points to extend the loan time. Not only the Northern Courtyard, but even the other great academies and geniuses have never had a precedent.


    "However, your level is considered special ¡­" Qian Jue muttered to himself, but didn''t feel too conflicted. He then said, "How about this, since you said that you have comprehended this martial art at a small level, I really want to see how you can do that. As long as you can use your own performance to convince me, I am willing to give you a wide berth and help you break the Northern Courtyard''s precedent. I know that you don''t have contribution points, so as long as your performance can satisfy me, I don''t need your contribution points.


    When Lin Tian heard this, he was startled, but he immediately understood. This Qian Jue wanted to test his understanding of this martial art ¡­

 C208

    However, Lin Tian was really not afraid of his test. In this Sky Dragon Tomb, he already comprehended the first two moves.


    Therefore, it was still more than enough to deal with this trial.


    "Come on, I want to see what exactly makes you so confident that you can say such words. Brat, I hope that you will not disappoint me!" At this moment, a powerful force exploded from Thousand-Jue''s body. His elemental energy surged like a river of stars.


    The Star River Realm, Qian Jue was also a Star River Realm expert!


    Boom!" When Lin Tian saw the power that Qian Jue had released, not only did he not feel any fear, on the contrary, he was excited. There was no other reason, it was because he was strong.


    Meeting a strong expert would allow Lin Tian to be completely excited.


    The soul force in his body also started to madly surge. The Jindan within the whirlpool''s dantian, in the blink of an eye, spewed out waves of powerful energy that coiled around Lin Tian''s body.


    At the same time, a cyan light also flashed through Lin Tian''s hand. In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear emitted a soft long roar.


    Qian Jue couldn''t help but shout out loud when he saw the aura on Lin Tian''s body.


    This boy called Lin Tian, no wonder he stirred up such a commotion in the Northern Courtyard in such a short period of time. Looking at Lin Tian''s strength today, Qian Jue immediately understood.


    Lin Tian''s strength was far more powerful than his cultivation.


    "Looks like this kid has a lot of secrets ¡­" Qian Jue faintly smiled, but remained calm and collected as he gathered the soul force around his body. He casually sent a palm towards Lin Tian.


    "Break for me!" Lin Tian raised his spear high up and then crazily rushed towards Qian Jue. His entire body''s spirit energy was currently wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear, causing the light on the Dragon Scale Spear to shine and all of its strength was gathered on the spear tip.


    A terrifying dragon roar was emitted from the Dragon Scale Spear. In the next moment, a murderous aura was suddenly emitted from the tip of the spear. After which, it completely smashed into Qian Jue''s palm.


    "Hmm?" He had been in charge of the Martial Arts Hall and had immersed himself in martial arts cultivation for many years. His understanding of martial arts had long reached the point where it was similar to a normal martial art.


    For any martial arts, it was basically possible to determine the extent to which the students of the Northern Courtyard practiced it. Once it was displayed, one could basically judge it with a pair of Thousand Sense Eyes.


    Right now, this spear technique that the boy called Lin Tian had displayed was truly an eye-opener to Qian Jue.


    This move was the move of the ''Heavenly Dragon Tomb''. It was absolutely correct. The martial arts techniques in the Martial Arts Hall had been flipped over by Qian Jue. With just one glance, he could tell that this was the first move of the ''Heavenly Dragon Tomb'', the ''Extermination''!


    Only, the extermination that Lin Tian had displayed was stronger, more powerful, and it seemed to have some power ¡­ ¡­


    The meaning of a Concept!


    Yes, this was the meaning of Concepts. The most important and most powerful part of a style of annihilation was also the essence. It was a strong killing intent, a strong killing intent that carried with it a sense of mutual destruction!


    Only by truly comprehending this could one truly be considered to have comprehended the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb.


    As soon as an expert made a move, he immediately knew if it was true or not.


    With just one shot, the only trace of doubt and doubt in Thousand-Jue''s heart had disappeared.


    That''s right. This kid said that his understanding of the cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb had reached a small level and it was indeed true. Moreover, Lin Tian was even modest.


    Just from this move alone, Lin Tian''s understanding towards the Heavenly Dragon Tomb was definitely not as simple as just small success.


    He had comprehended the complete Heavenly Dragon''s Burial Martial Art''s quintessence; it was just that he wasn''t proficient enough.


    Thinking of this, Qian Absolute compared to Lin Tian, became more and more curious. It was not about anything else but Lin Tian himself.


    What was so special about this kid that he could actually comprehend incomplete martial arts?


    Incomplete martial arts was a taboo for martial arts cultivators. Because it was not a complete set of martial arts, it was not only troublesome to practice but also difficult to stop halfway. For martial arts, it was a huge challenge.


    As a result, there were very few people who chose to learn incomplete martial arts. Not only did this kid choose incomplete martial arts, he even managed to learn it?


    "Bam!" While Qian Jue was lost in thought, Lin Tian''s spear had already arrived in front of him.


    In that instant, Qian Jue''s body trembled slightly from the power emitted from the tip of the spear. However, in the next moment, the power on the tip of the spear was dispersed by the powerful Yuan Power from Qian Jue''s body, just like a ripple, before it disappeared.


    "Not bad, again!" Qian Jue praised before speaking to Lin Tian again.


    "An afterimage!" Lin Tian tightly grasped the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand and once again angrily roared as he swung the spear over.


    Only this time, what Lin Tian used was the second move of the Sky Dragon Tomb, the afterimage.


    In that instant, over a hundred spear shadows appeared on the surface of the Dragon Scale Spear.


    In the blink of an eye, the shadows of the spears crazily rushed toward Qian Jue.


    Lin Tian had comprehended for ten days, and up until now, he could still only display over a hundred spear shadows.


    He was still a bit far from mastering a Great Perfection or even mastery realm where he could wield over a thousand spear shadows.


    However, this was more than enough. This was more than enough to shock everyone.


    Qian Jue''s gaze suddenly froze. In an instant, a hundred spear shadows madly shot towards him.


    "This is the second stance, Afterimage!" Qian Jue recognized the second move of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb. "This kid really gave me wave after wave of surprises. He even managed to master the second move of the incomplete martial art. Moreover, it only took him ten days!"


    "Go!" At this moment, Qian Jue didn''t dare to be negligent. He knew how powerful this move was.


    Around his body, hundreds of balls of Yuan Power were instantly released before fiercely pouncing towards Lin Tian''s spear afterimages one by one.


    In the next moment, the numerous spear afterimages were swallowed by the Yuan Power ball.


    Astral River Cultivators were indeed much stronger than Lin Tian.


    This was an absolute suppression in terms of strength. Even though Lin Tian had used such a powerful martial art like the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, it was still easier to break than Qian Jue.


    Having destroyed the afterimage of his own spear, Lin Tian immediately withdrew it and stood up. He then said to Qian Jue: "Instructor Qian Jue, I just comprehended the second move, so let''s stop here ¡­ ¡­"


    The elemental energy within Qian Jue''s body, which was like a vast galaxy, disappeared in an instant.


    He looked at Lin Tian with a burning gaze: "Good, in just ten short days, you are actually able to cultivate a broken martial art to such a degree, not bad, I have set a precedent. I can leave this Heavenly Dragon Burial martial art with you and you can return it at any time, but of course, you can also always stay by your side, but when you leave the Northern Courtyard, you must return it, understand?"


    Qian Jue was currently admiring Lin Tian. This boy, all of his performances were outside of his expectations. He could even faintly see that Lin Tian was looking forward to Lin Tian''s upcoming cultivation of the Sky Dragon Tomb.

 C209

    "Yes, I understand." Lin Tian firmly nodded his head and then replied to Thousand Jue.


    "Alright, go ahead." Qian Jue waved his hand, gesturing for Lin Tian to leave.


    Lin Tian bowed and left.


    However, when Lin Tian arrived at the first floor of the Mission Pavilion, the Mission Pavilion''s instructor, Zhang Feng, suddenly called out to Lin Tian.


    "Kid, wait a moment." Zhang Feng waved at Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian immediately stopped walking and looked at Zhang Feng with suspicion: "Teacher Zhang, what''s the matter?"


    "Mm, you know Elder Zhang from the Qingzhou Main Academy, right?" Zhang Feng asked.


    "Elder Zhang?" Lin Tian nodded. He could not help but ask, "Naturally. Elder Zhang was in charge of my Exquisite Pagoda''s survival training. I naturally know him. What happened? Elder Zhang came to the Northern Courtyard?"


    "He didn''t come to the Northern Courtyard, but he brought a message with him." Zhang Feng shook his head and said.


    "News? What news?" Lin Tian became more and more surprised.


    "It''s like this. This morning, Elder Zhang sent flying letters saying that Jiang Liu''er, a servant of Qingxuan Pavilion in Qingzhou City, had come to find him. He said that he wanted to entrust a sentence to you. Zhang Feng briefly explained the situation.


    "Jiang Liu''er?" Lin Tian''s brows slightly wrinkled, but he immediately thought of something.


    "I almost forgot about such a big matter." For the past few days, ever since he had entered the Northern Courtyard, he had not been idle. First he had a great battle with the students, then he had gone into seclusion, and now he was focused on cultivating the martial art of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb.


    So, Lin Tian didn''t have any time to think about other things. Even this crucial matter was almost forgotten by Lin Tian.


    But now that he thought about it, Lin Tian''s eyes instantly became cold. He didn''t hesitate and directly asked: "Teacher Zhang Feng, how many days until the beast tide mission starts?"


    There''s no time left. Originally, we said ten days later, but Sky City''s City Lord, Luo Jiang, has already sent a dozen or so distress letters, saying that the beast tide has completely arrived. Therefore, we urgently need all the students from the East Branch and West Branch to head there, and the students from the East Branch and West Branch have already set off a long time ago. Therefore, we, the North District, need to prepare in the next two days and rush to Sky City as soon as possible.


    When Lin Tian heard this, he immediately became conflicted.


    Jiang Liu''er must have come to find him because of Hua Ruyi.


    However, Hua Ruyi''s matter was related to Yun Huang, so Lin Tian naturally could not ignore it. Moreover, he had previously promised Hua Ruoyi that Lin Tian would handle her matters until the end.


    Also, Lin Tian really wanted to know what exactly was the matter regarding Yun Huang.


    So like this, even if these two things happened together, Lin Tian still had to deal with it.


    Teacher Zhang, I will immediately set off for Qingzhou City. Although Qingzhou City is a bit further away from Sky City, but disciple will guarantee that within two days, I will finish everything there and then rush to Sky City as soon as possible. I guarantee that I will not delay the Academy''s mission, what do you say? "


    This was the best idea that Lin Tian could think of, so he didn''t dare delay any longer. Hua Ruyi told Jiang Liu''er to look for him now, so that person must have already come looking for him.


    "Hmm?" Zhang Feng hesitated for a bit. The meaning behind Lin Tian''s words was very obvious. It meant that no matter what, he had to return to Qingzhou City to resolve this matter.


    However, Zhang Feng didn''t think too much about it. He more or less admired Lin Tian.


    Since Lin Tian insisted on going back to the Azure Province, he could not stop Lin Tian from going back.


    Zhang Feng didn''t think too much about it, instead, he instructed, "Since you said so, I don''t need to say anymore. But you must remember, we, the North District, have finished our preparations today, we will leave for the Sky City tomorrow, and we will arrive the day after tomorrow. In three days, on the fourth day, all the students of the North District will be gathered together, and will be put into battle. That is to say, I have given you four days, which should be enough time for you to solve your private affairs."


    Zhang Feng calculated the time. Including today, it had been four days.


    "Yes, I''ll do my best to hurry back." Lin Tian nodded his head. Four days was indeed not a short time.


    "Not as much as possible. We have to hurry back." Zhang Feng shook his head and emphasized, "If you don''t come back within these four days, I will drive you out of the North Courtyard as long as you don''t take part in the freshman mission!"


    So, if Lin Tian did not rush back at that time, no matter how much genius Lin Tian had, how many evildoers he had, how much strength, he would be kicked out of the Northern Courtyard.


    Evicting him from the Northern Courtyard meant that he would be expelled from the Azure Province Academy and would no longer be a student of the academy.


    Lin Tian nodded his head and then directly agreed: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang Feng. This student understands and will definitely rush back in time ¡­"


    "Yes." Zhang Feng nodded his head and did not say anymore as he indicated for Lin Tian to leave.


    Lin Tian bowed before saying to Zhang Feng: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang, for informing me of this matter."


    After Lin Tian gave his thanks, he immediately turned around and left.


    Using the God Transforming Steps, Lin Tian almost instantly returned to his own cave.


    Lin Tian did not waste any more time. After returning to his own cave abode, he simply tidied himself up and went to look for Fang Xing''s trio. After instructing them to be careful, he directly headed towards the location of the Northern Courtyard''s Teleportation Formation.


    In the Northern Courtyard, there was a Teleportation Formation that was connected to the headquarters of the Azure Province Academy.


    Using the Teleportation Formation would allow him to travel much faster than Lin Tian.


    Using a transfer array didn''t require contribution points, but it required enough spirit stones to activate the array.


    Therefore, when Lin Tian had gone to look for Fang Xing''s group, he had borrowed quite a few spirit stones from them. Otherwise, Lin Tian wouldn''t even have had the spirit stones to activate the teleportation array.


    After activating the Teleportation Formation, Lin Tian quickly returned to the Azure Province Headquarters.


    Within the Qingzhou Main Courtyard, Lin Tian easily arrived at Elder Zhang''s place.


    At this moment, from the time that Elder Zhang sent the news to the time that Lin Tian came to the Northern Courtyard, it seemed like he didn''t waste too much time. It hadn''t even been half a day.


    The moment Jiang Liu''er saw Lin Tian, she was stunned. She never thought that Lin Tian would actually come here so quickly.


    Elder Zhang was also surprised for a moment as he carefully sized up Jiang Liu''er. Of course, he knew that Lin Tian was going to carry out the new student mission, but he didn''t think that Jiang Liu''er''s one sentence would allow Lin Tian to directly return to Qingzhou City.


    It seemed like the matter that Jiang Liu''er mentioned should be very important to Lin Tian.

 C210

    Lin Tian did not waste any time. He only had four days. To Lin Tian, it was quite urgent.


    On the fourth day, the beast tide mission would begin.


    So, if that was the case, there were only three days. Even if everything went smoothly, Lin Tian wasn''t sure if he could solve this matter in three days, so he had to hurry up and do everything.


    Lin Tian greeted Elder Zhang and then directly dragged Jiang Liu''er out of the Qingzhou Academy and into the Clear Pavilion.


    At this moment, Hua Rui still felt somewhat unsure in her heart. This was because she didn''t dare be sure whether Lin Tian would actually come or not.


    Even though Lin Tian had promised her that he would be taking care of her, who knew if what he said was true or not.


    But just as she was at a loss, Jiang Liu''er''s voice interrupted her train of thoughts.


    "Sister Hua, look who''s here!" Jiang Liu''er excitedly shouted at Hua Ruyi.


    Hua Ruyi turned around and immediately saw the dust faced Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had been studying the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb for so many days without resting. After knowing about this, he had hurried over.


    "You, you really came?" The moment she saw Lin Tian, Hua Ruoyi still didn''t quite believe it. Seeing Lin Tian''s face, she immediately became a bit absent-minded.


    "Let''s talk inside." Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly walked to Hua Ruoyi''s side. He grabbed onto Hua Ruyi and walked into the dark room.


    Hua Ruyi was stunned. For a moment, she didn''t even have time to react as she simply allowed Lin Tian to pull her to the darkroom.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s actions, Jiang Liu''er was also stunned: "This ¡­."


    The maids at the side also blinked their eyes as they blankly watched Lin Tian and Hua Ruyi''s figures disappear in front of their eyes.


    What surprised them was Lin Tian''s actions and Hua Ruyi''s reaction.


    Hua Ruyi was born with a bewitching body, so they didn''t know much about her. They only knew that this Big Sister Hua was a peerless beauty, and they had been with her in the Clear Pavilion for so long, so they had naturally seen her charm.


    Almost all of the celebrities in the Azure Province, including the young prince from before, had thoughts towards Hua Ruyi. However, Hua Ruoyi, from start to finish, maintained an untainted appearance, and treated everyone with complete courtesy. To those people, especially her followers, although they seemed to be passionate, they actually had an aloof appearance.


    The reason why they were so enthusiastic was because of their professional ethics and their business. Other than that, Hua Ruyi kept a certain distance between herself and everyone else.


    Moreover, I heard that there were many noble princes and princes in the Imperial City who were willing to become the subjects of Hua Ruyi''s dress. However, Hua Ruyi had always maintained her pure and pure body.


    Let alone touching her, even if her followers wanted to see Hua Ruyi up close, it would be impossible.


    But now, this Lin Tian had actually grabbed onto Hua Ruyi''s jade arm and even pulled her to the darkroom ¡­


    How could this not shock them? At the same time that they were shocked, the flames of gossip in their hearts were also burning fiercely.


    In the end, everyone''s gazes landed on Jiang Liu''er.


    One must know that this Lin Tian was brought here by Jiang Liu''er, so Jiang Liu''er must know something. Everyone immediately surrounded Jiang Liu''er.


    "Lil ''Liu, what''s going on?"


    "Little Liu''er, this Lin Tian gongzi and elder sister Hua ¡­"


    "Hmm?"


    "What do you know? Quickly say it, big sister still has some private money, as long as you say it obediently, big sister''s private money will be cheap for you ¡­"


    One by one, the maidservants bombarded Jiang Liu''er''s ears.


    "I ¡­" Jiang Liu''er looked at a loss before saying in a daze, "I don''t know either ¡­"


    It wasn''t that Jiang Liu''er was trying to hide it, it was just that Jiang Liu''er didn''t know what was going on.


    Previously, Jiang Liu''er said that she wanted to get Lin Tian and Big Sister Hua together, but whether it was Big Brother Tian or Big Sister Hua, they both refused ¡­


    In addition, Jiang Liu''er also felt that the two of them weren''t that suitable.


    But now, it seemed that he had been mistaken. At some point in time, these two had already hooked up with each other.


    How obvious was that earlier ¡­


    Seeing Jiang Liu''er at a loss, a few maids immediately lost interest. After dispersing, they all crept to the door of the dark room, wanting to eavesdrop on what was being said inside ¡­


    At the same time, in the darkroom, Hua Ruyi did not react for a while. By the time she reacted, Lin Tian had already pulled her into the darkroom.


    Hua Ruyi''s heartbeat immediately quickened, and her cheeks became even redder.


    This was the first time that an unfamiliar man had grabbed her like this.


    After arriving at his room, Lin Tian discovered that his actions weren''t very appropriate. He immediately let go of Hua Ruyi and apologized to her: "If there''s an emergency, I hope Miss can forgive me for my rudeness."


    Hua Ruyi shook her head and said in a mosquito-like voice, "No worries ¡­"


    Hua Ruyi also knew that Lin Tian didn''t want Jiang Liu''er and the rest to know about this, so he chose to come to this dark room to speak about it.


    Lin Tian did not continue with the nonsense. He went straight to the point and asked: "Miss Hua, what exactly is going on? You should explain everything clearly for me ¡­"


    "Yes." Hua Ruyi''s complexion had also returned to normal. She then told Lin Tian the matter of the Jiang elder passing a letter to her from beginning to end.


    After Lin Tian heard this, his brows tightly knitted together. As expected, it was this matter.


    He raised his head and said, "I would like to see that letter."


    Hua Ruyi took out the letter from her sleeve and gave it to Lin Tian.


    After Lin Tian saw this, he began to hesitate.


    The words on Elder Jiang''s letter were very vague. He only said that the person from back then came and wanted to bring Hua Ruyi away. Therefore, he wanted Hua Ruoyi to return to Tian Luo city as soon as possible ¡­


    This didn''t have much information, even Lin Tian didn''t know who that person was.


    This was a bit difficult. If he knew who his opponent was and how strong he was, Lin Tian had a rough idea, but right now he knew nothing about his opponent, so he didn''t know what his opponent''s strength was.


    Hence, if he hesitated any longer, he would waste even more time. Thus, Lin Tian did not say anymore, and directly grabbed onto Hua Rui: "Miss Hua, although this matter is a bit troublesome, since I have said that I will help you, then I will definitely help you to the end. It''s just that the time is limited, I do not have much time to talk to you right now, let''s talk on the way."


    "Talk on the way?" Hua Ruyi was startled, as if she didn''t understand what was going on.


    "I have a plan in mind to go to Tian Luo City. We can''t delay this any longer, let''s go now!" Without saying much, Lin Tian directly pulled Hua Ruyi and walked out of the dark room.


    The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw the surrounding crowd.


    Lin Tian knit his brows for a bit. He did not say much and instead turned his gaze towards Jiang Liu''er: "Little brother, lend me your Qilin horse!"


    "Oh." Jiang Liu''er saw that Hua Ruoyi was being pulled by Lin Tian, so she lowered her head without saying anything. She was stunned for a moment, but she still summoned her Qilin horse and gave it to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian hugged Hua Ruo''s skinny waist and pulled her onto the Qilin horse. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body gently leaped and he also mounted the Qilin horse.


    "Giddy up!" Under everyone''s shocked gazes, Lin Tian and Hua Ruoyi had already left the area while riding the qilin horse. In the blink of an eye, they had already gone far away.

 C211

    The distance between Qingzhou City and Tian Luo City was not too far, but it was definitely not close either. If it was on foot, it would take at least a day''s journey.


    Right now, the thing that Lin Tian could not afford to delay the most was time, so he directly borrowed Jiang Liu''er''s qilin horse. The qilin horse was a special species, its speed was surprisingly fast, allowing it to travel a thousand miles in a day.


    His speed could definitely be reduced by half. If he were to leave now, he would probably be able to reach Tian Luo City by night.


    The Qilin horse was abnormally stable and didn''t have the slightest sense of bumpiness.


    On top of the Qilin horse, Lin Tian arranged his own time and also dragged out the combined plan.


    We have to rush to Tian Luo City now, we can reach there by nightfall.


    After arriving at Tian Luo City, Hua Rui directly went to find Elder Jiang, and at the same time, to meet the person who wanted to buy her.


    Lin Tian would take the opportunity to lurk around the Clear Pavilion. At night, Lin Tian would look for Hua Ruyi and ask her about that person''s situation.


    If that person''s strength was not that strong, Lin Tian could wait until tomorrow morning and directly follow that person. After leaving Tian Luo City, Lin Tian would find a suitable time to kill that person.


    If that person''s strength was very strong, then Lin Tian would have to think carefully about it. However, the bottom line of this matter was, with Hua Ruyi''s safety, Lin Tian would do his best to protect it. Even if he did not kill that person, Lin Tian would definitely not let that person bring Hua Ruyi away.


    Firstly, it was the Pavilion Elder of the Clear Pavilion Pavilion, Elder Jiang. He had accepted Hua Ruyi as his benefactor, and if he were to kill that person in front of the crowd, Hua Ruyi would be carrying the burden of being disloyal and disloyal. After all, Elder Jiang was her biological grandfather.


    Secondly, there was the difficulty in killing people in the Clear Pavilion. The risk of failure was too high, and there was a high chance that he would die in there.


    Moreover, there was an even more important reason. Lin Tian originally said he wanted to care about Hua Ruyi''s matters.


    The reason why he bought Hua Ruyi was because he wanted to dual cultivate with her. Furthermore, he wanted to go to the Demon Spirit Realm!


    Lin Tian felt that this matter should be related to Yun Huang, moreover, Lin Tian himself knew nothing about the Demon Spirit Realm, so he only knew of the records in the books.


    If this person wanted to go to the Demon Spirit Realm, it was obvious that he had a good understanding of it.


    So, Lin Tian still wanted to capture him and ask him about the matters of the Demon Spirit Realm. Before, in the prophecy of the nightmare, Lin Tian saw what could happen to Yun Huang in the future.


    So right now, Lin Tian urgently wanted to know about the news from the Demon Spirit Realm.


    Actually, if it wasn''t for Hua Ruyi revealing that this matter concerned the Demon Spirit Realm, Lin Tian definitely wouldn''t have said that he would stand up for her.


    This matter was called Lin Tian for Ruoyi, but it was actually Lin Tian for Yun Huang, his fiancee.


    After he finished explaining his plan, Lin Tian became silent. He carefully calculated this matter in his mind and tried to think of all the possibilities in advance. At that time, if there were any changes, he would not panic.


    Lin Tian pondered the matter in his heart, not noticing Hua Ruyi''s reaction in the slightest.


    Hua Ruyi and Lin Tian sat on a qilin horse. The horse wasn''t too big, so the two of them sat on it with their bodies next to each other. Hua Rui sat in front of Hua Rui, and Lin Tian sat behind.


    It was because Lin Tian was controlling the unicorn, so the current situation was very much like Lin Tian hugging Hua Ruyi. Although the bumpy road was not big, their bodies were always next to each other.


    Hua Rui had never been this close to another stranger''s body before.


    She could almost feel the temperature of Lin Tian''s body. She could even hear Lin Tian''s breathing and heartbeat.


    This kind of feeling, made Hua Ruyi feel like a little deer was bumping around in her heart ¡­


    Hua Ruyi had never felt this kind of feeling, but for some reason, when she touched Lin Tian, she felt that her heart was incomparably calm. That kind of feeling was as if she had someone to rely on.


    Moreover, when facing other men, especially Hua Ruyi''s pursuers, Hua Ruyi could not be said to be disgusted, but she always subconsciously wanted to distance herself and maintain her distance. However, towards Lin Tian, Hua Ruyi had a feeling of wanting to rely on him for the first time.


    In fact, Hua Ruyi wanted them to remain like this all along, and not to stop.


    However, this feeling did not last long. The Qilin horse''s speed was incredibly fast and Lin Tian had originally thought that he would not be able to reach Tian Luo City at night.


    However, he never expected that in the evening, Lin Tian and Hua Ruoyi would arrive at Tian Luo City, and when they arrived outside Tian Luo City, Lin Tian dismounted and entered the Imperial City. The Clear Pavilion had more eyes and ears, and just in case, Lin Tian had no choice but to hide his figure, allowing Hua Ruyi to enter the headquarters.


    Lin Yiming got off his qilin horse, and Hua Rui immediately let out a sigh of relief. But at the same time, for some reason, she had a strange feeling that she had lost something.


    That feeling of loss made Hua Ruyi feel a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her state of mind.


    She already knew of Lin Tian''s plan, so right now was the time to properly execute it.


    Hua Ruyi mounted her qilin horse and quickly rushed towards the headquarters of the Clear Pavilion.


    Lin Tian followed behind her and displayed the God Transforming Steps. His speed was actually not inferior to that of the rare horse and he maintained a controlled distance from Hua Ruyi the entire way.


    Before long, the two of them had arrived at the Clear Pavilion headquarters.


    Actually, the moment Hua Ruoyi rode into the Imperial City, she was seen by the people within the headquarters of the Clear Pavilion. Thus, almost at the same time, someone reported this news to Elder Jiang, who was currently in his room.


    Elder Jiang was one of the elders in the Clear Pavilion. He wasn''t the head of the Pavilion, but was actually a powerful figure in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Of course, he was also an extremely lofty figure in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.


    The role of the Pavilion Elder was comparable to that of an elder in a sect. In the Clear Pavilion, the Pavilion Elder was an expert in the appraisal of treasures, and was also the person in charge of some specific affairs.


    Elder Jiang was the head elder of the Clear Pavilion. Basically, other than that mysterious head of the Pavilion, Elder Jiang was the true master of the Pavilion.


    Seeing the arrival of the person on the horse, Elder Jiang had already sent his personal maidservant forward to welcome him.


    "Big sister Hua, the pavilion master just said that you were almost here, but I didn''t believe him. I didn''t expect to see you so soon after leaving the house." The maidservant smiled at Hua Ruyi.


    A guard took the reins from Hua Ruyi and left with his horse.


    The maidservant smiled sweetly, "Let''s go, elder sister. The pavilion elder is already waiting for you in his room."


    Hua Ruyi thoughtfully nodded her head before calmly glancing behind her. She seemed to have sensed something and smilingly followed the maidservant into the entrance of the Clear Pavilion''s headquarters.

 C212

    At this moment, in the pavilion elder''s room of the Clear Pavilion Pavilion, Elder Jiang was already waiting for Hua Ruyi.


    "You''re back?" Elder Jiang had a benevolent expression as he looked at Hua Ruyi who had walked in, before smiling as he asked.


    "Yes, grandpa is back." Hua Ruyi nodded her head, a trace of struggle surging in her heart.


    She was an orphan and had been abandoned since birth. If it wasn''t for Elder Jiang taking her in, she would have frozen to death or starved to death by now.


    Therefore, to her, Elder Jiang was her greatest benefactor. In Hua Ruyi''s heart, she treated Elder Jiang as her own grandfather.


    However, Elder Jiang treated her very well. He treated her as his own granddaughter, nurturing her, teaching her how to act, and even made her head a part of the Azure Province''s Qingxuan Pavilion. It could be said that the reason why Hua Ruyi could have such a day was all because of him.


    If not for that incident, Hua Ruyi also felt that Elder Jiang truly treated her well.


    However, it was precisely that matter, the matter that Hua Ruyi still did not understand. What kind of price did that person pay that caused Elder Jiang''s heart to palpitate? He agreed to sell Hua Ruyi to him.


    This diluted Hua Ruoyi''s original gratitude towards Elder Jiang by quite a bit. That was because such a thing made her feel that Elder Jiang was not truly treating her sincerely, but was instead treating her as a commodity. The reason why Elder Jiang took care of her so well was because he wanted her to sell her for a good price.


    Thus, this time, Hua Ruyi wanted to get to the bottom of this matter. She wanted to get to the bottom of this. She wanted to know what Elder Jiang was thinking.


    "Grandfather, this time you''re in such a hurry to have me back. Was it because of that agreement?" Hua Ruyi bitterly smiled and asked.


    "Hmm?" He gently put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Little Flower, you must be very unhappy with me in your heart. Grandfather must have raised you to such a big extent because you think that your grandfather has another purpose in bringing you up. Moreover, you think that your grandfather has something bad in mind, right?"


    "I, I don''t think so." Hua Ruyi sighed. Although she denied it on the surface, her tone still explained everything.


    "Grandpa knows that even if you didn''t say it. Grandpa is already old, but grandpa isn''t muddled ¡­" Elder Jiang spoke as if he was sighing, and then he said: "It''s just that grandfather also has his own difficulties."


    "Also, think about it, when grandfather first took you in and held you, you were only in your infancy. At that time, how could grandfather see that you have such a bewitching body? When you''re older, grandfather will discover your difference." Elder Jiang explained, "So you''re saying that your grandfather had only supported you for nothing before, and thus decided that you had a seductive body, which was why he raised you?"


    "Hmm?" When Hua Ruyi heard the sudden increase in Elder Jiang''s voice, she looked at him in astonishment. She didn''t expect him to have such a huge reaction.


    "Grandfather, that''s not what I meant." Hua Ruyi was about to explain.


    Elder Jiang interrupted him. "I know what you mean. You don''t understand why grandfather wants to sell you to that person, do you?"


    Hua Ruyi nodded, this was indeed a question that she could not answer no matter how much she thought about it.


    "Alright, today, grandpa will tell you why grandpa wants to sell you to that person." Elder Jiang seemed to know what Hua Ruyi was thinking, as he spoke directly.


    "Hmm?" Hua Ruyi was increasingly surprised. She originally thought that Elder Jiang would do his best to conceal this matter, but now, unexpectedly, he wanted to tell her directly.


    "I''m sure you don''t know this person''s identity. But let me tell you, this person is a human with the bloodline of a greater demon." Elder Jiang directly stated the identity of the person who wanted to buy Hua Ruyi.


    "What? It''s actually a human with the lineage of a Diremonster?" After finding out who that person was, Hua Ruyi was also slightly shocked.


    Originally she thought that the person who bought her was a human, but now it seemed that Lin Tian''s guess was correct. This person''s identity was definitely not that simple.


    "That person had an old relationship with the Pavilion Master." Elder Jiang once again said in an earth-shattering manner.


    Hua Ruyi was even more surprised. She never thought that her matter would have something to do with the legendary Pavilion Master in the Clear Pavilion.


    The pavilion master of the Clear Pavilion was definitely a legendary figure. The Clear Pavilion was located in the Tian Luo Country, and even though it was a private company, their history wasn''t too related.


    At least, he was still far from the official Tian Luo Merchant Union.


    However, even so, under the leadership of the Pavilion Master, the Clear Xuan Pavilion had quickly risen in power. Moreover, they had grown at a rapid pace, becoming a top-notch merchant guild that could rival the Tian Luo Merchant Union.


    Strangely enough, no one had ever seen the legendary Pavilion Master before, not even members of any of the major powers.


    Other than the Pavilion Elder, who had a position of more than ten thousand under one person in the Clear Pavilion, and Elder Jiang who had seen the Pavilion Master before, no one else had seen this person before.


    Hua Ruoyi had previously heard that when she was young, the Pavilion Master had hugged her. However, at that time, Hua Ruyi was still too young, so she naturally couldn''t remember the Pavilion Master''s appearance.


    But now, when Elder Jiang suddenly mentioned that person was actually having an old relationship with the Pavilion Master, Hua Ruoyi was truly shocked.


    "Back then, I did not dare to believe it either. However, this is the truth. Lord Pavilion Master, there is indeed an old relationship between you and that person." Elder Jiang explained: "You should have known before that I didn''t want to sell you. Even if that person offered me conditions that I couldn''t reject, even if I was tempted, I would have rejected them ¡­"


    Speaking to this, Hua Ruyi nodded her head. This Elder Jiang was not lying. Moreover, she had heard of these things before. In the beginning, Elder Jiang had indeed rejected that person.


    But then, for some reason, Elder Jiang suddenly agreed.


    "Could it be ¡­ could it be that the pavilion master has made his move?" Hua Ruyi could not help but ask.


    "That''s right. In the end, I don''t know what price this person paid, or what kind of deal he reached with the Pavilion Master. He actually managed to persuade the Pavilion Master to personally step out and speak to me about this ¡­" Elder Jiang''s face held a hint of reminiscence, "Little Flower, you should know that the reason why we were able to have this day was all because of the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master allowed me to have this day, and I allowed you to have today ¡­"


    "Therefore, I can reject treasures and treasures. However, I can''t not listen to Pavilion Master''s words ¡­" Elder Jiang''s face showed some excitement. "At the beginning, I also struggled and struggled, but in the end, I still made up my mind. I''ll just consider it as me agreeing to a marriage. So, I agreed."


    "However, in the end, I made a condition." Elder Jiang continued, "That is, if you have yet to reach adulthood, he will not be able to take you away. I will wait until you reach adulthood, old enough, before I allow him to take you away."


    "So that''s how it is." At this point, Hua Rui immediately understood. No wonder Elder Jiang agreed to that person''s request. Moreover, he hadn''t taken her away for so many years. So it was because of Elder Jiang''s request.


    "However, now that you have grown up day by day, I have no other choice. Now that someone has brought an item over, I naturally can''t refuse it. That''s why I asked you to come back." Elder Jiang once again said, "But even so, I was still wasting time with him, so the letter I sent you didn''t force you to come back within a day. I just didn''t expect that you would come back tonight ¡­"


    Hua Ruyi nodded. Elder Jiang did not force her to return, he only said that he would hurry back as soon as possible after settling the matter at hand.


    "So, Xiaohua, grandpa can''t bear to part with you. Granddad knows why that person wants to buy you, but, grandpa has no other choice but to make you suffer. Granddad has no use for grandpa, grandpa has no way to protect your safety ¡­" At this point, Elder Jiang couldn''t help but feel moved and his eyes reddened.


    Hua Ruyi''s heart ached. Just as she was about to speak, a stream of spiritual will stealthily entered her sea of consciousness.


    "Don''t believe him, this old fellow is not as simple as you think he is. Remember, you have to ask more about the situation of the person who bought you ¡­" This was Lin Tian''s divine sense.


    It turned out that just now, after Hua Ruyi had entered the Clear Pavilion, Lin Tian had also quietly used the darkness of the night to sneak into the Clear Pavilion.


    Lin Tian was currently a spirit runemaster and his control over Spiritual Force had already reached a level of perfection.


    As a result, he had not been discovered while he was moving stealthily.


    But on the road, Lin Tian was secretly rejoicing. He could feel that there were countless experts hidden within the Clear Pavilion''s headquarters. If he had wanted to force his way in earlier, he was afraid that he would die here today.


    At this moment, he was relying on his vast psychic power to conceal his own aura and didn''t alert those experts.


    Outside, Lin Tian also clearly heard the conversation between Elder Jiang and Hua Ruyi.


    This Elder Jiang''s words were thirty percent true and seventy percent false, but his sense of propriety was very good. It sounded like it was true.


    However, these words were completely unworthy of consideration. Elder Jiang''s thoughts were quite deep, and he had put all the blame on that ethereal pavilion master.


    Moreover, when Elder Jiang was speaking just now, he had been playing the emotional card game. To Hua Ruyi, this trick was naturally the most effective.


    Thus, Hua Ruyi felt that whatever Elder Jiang said was all true.


    As a fan of the scene, the spectator could clearly see. Since Lin Tian saw the scene in front of his eyes, he naturally had to remind Hua Ruyi.


    Hua Ruyi was slightly startled, but her expression didn''t change too much. In her heart, she absolutely believed in Lin Tian. Moreover, Lin Tian''s original plan had allowed her to ask a bit more about that person.


    Thinking of this, Hua Rui immediately restrained her emotions. She considered the words in her heart, wanting to ask everything about that person.

 C213

    Elder Jiang looked at Hua Ruyi''s expression and thought that she must have been moved by him and understood him.


    Thinking of this, Old Man Jiang immediately spoke up: "Little Flower, you don''t need to think too much about this matter. You''ve long since reached the age where we can discuss marriage, and also, your own physique is a heavenly charm. This person''s status isn''t low, and he''s also a demon descendant, he''s also an outstanding genius in the Demon Spirit Domain.


    "Alright." Hua Rui nodded, then said emotionally: "Grandfather, I know, you have done a lot for me, I also know, your kindness, I will never be able to repay you, so, this time, I will listen to your arrangements, I will definitely not make things difficult for grandfather, it is just, I know nothing about that person, I don''t know about him either ¡­"


    "Oh, you''re worried about that?" Elder Jiang smiled. "Don''t worry, you don''t have to worry. I''m very clear on his background. His name is Jiang Fan, and he''s the descendant of one of the top ten demon clan members in Demon Spirit Realm, the Snake clan. His ancestor''s demon is a fierce, unparalleled Nine Infants!"


    "Nine Infants?" Hua Ruyi''s heart froze.


    "So it''s Nine Infants!" Lin Tian, who was currently hiding in the dark, suddenly had his eyes congealed. That''s right, he had guessed correctly, that person definitely had something to do with Yun Huang!


    The Nine Infants was one of the most vicious demons from ancient times. It was a large snake with nine heads.


    In ancient times, Diremonsters were equivalent to supreme experts of the human race.


    The Nine Infants were like dragons that shook the heavens. The Nine Infants had nine heads, and each head had a special ability.


    The Nine Infant loved to hunt and kill human beings. It would easily slaughter a country, absorb human beings'' Yuan Yang Qi for its own cultivation and breakthrough.


    Humans hated and feared the Nine Infants, but they could do nothing about it.


    Moreover, it was said that the Nine Infant almost turned into a dragon in the end, but it was a pity that it died under the divine retribution.


    The Nine Infants were a bit against the will of the heavens. The Nine Infants were simply too powerful. Ordinary snakes had only one head, but nine of them had nine. Furthermore, all nine heads possessed different superpowers.


    If a Nine Infant Serpent turned into a Flood Dragon and had nine flood dragon heads, their might would be even more terrifying. Even the divine dragon race did not have this kind of strength.


    That''s why the Nine Infant died under the divine retribution. However, he didn''t expect that the person who bought Hua Ruyi was actually a descendant of the Nine Infants.


    "You must have been frightened as well. Actually, me too, when I first heard of this news, I was also shocked, the legendary demon that loves to absorb human vital energy the most, the Nine Infants, actually has a human bloodline. This is truly a miracle ¡­" Elder Jiang smiled faintly.


    "Later on, I realized that it was completely different." Old Jiang continued, "So, the bloodline left behind by the Nine Infants were all of the snake race, the Sky Serpent race. They are now one of the ten great demon clans in the Demon Spirit Domain."


    "However, after the nine Nascent Souls perished under the heavenly tribulation, a human had the luck to devour the core of the nine Nascent Souls." Elder Jiang clicked his tongue in wonder, "It was also because of this that the human possessed the strength of nine nascent souls and inherited most of the power of nine souls. The human race was able to shine, and both the human and demon race have great reputations.


    "Jiang Wuji!" Hua Ruyi exclaimed.


    Lin Tian was also extremely shocked. Regardless of whether it was the Nine Infants or Jiang Wuji, they had both left their illustrious and illustrious names in the history of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    Jiang Wuji was born with the Heaven''s End Meridian, so he was naturally unable to cultivate.


    However, later on, the dynasty rose to prominence. They possessed nine great divine abilities, and were unrivalled in battle against all the Sky Dragons. Moreover, they intimidated the countless demi-humans.


    He didn''t expect that Jiang Wuji had eaten the Nine Infant Core.


    "That''s right, it was because Jiang Wuji consumed the Nine Infant Core that he was able to go from the cursed Heavenly End Pulse to the supreme expert of his generation. However, he also paid a price for it." Elder Jiang continued speaking of the secrets of the ancient era.


    "When Jiang Wuji is becoming more and more powerful, he''s also becoming less and less like a human." Elder Jiang sighed and said, "The Nine Infant Spirit Dan is a great opportunity, so it is only natural that he can withstand the effects of the Nine Infant Karma. After Jiang Wuji devoured the core, he continued to open up the core of the Nine Infant Soul, and in the end, he too became a Nine Infant ¡­"


    "Huh?" Hua Ruyi didn''t seem to understand Elder Jiang''s words.


    But outside, Lin Tian was a bit moved. He understood very well.


    The power of the Nine Infant Core made Jiang Wuji rise quickly, but at the same time, Jiang Wuji was also being converted by the Nine Infant Core. Finally, when the Nine Infant Core became one with Jiang Wuji.


    Jiang Wuji was a human and a demon.


    "Yes, he received the power of the Ninth Nascent Soul. He received its Karma, and he became the Ninth Nascent Soul." Elder Jiang continued, "However, he didn''t think too much about it. In his later years, when Jiang Wu reached his limit, he went straight to the descendants of the Nine Infants. The Heavenly Serpent Clan became a member of the Heavenly Serpent Clan."


    "Jiang Wuji had countless children in his life, and all of them, without any mishap, had received the power of the Nine Infant''s bloodline."


    "The Nine Infant''s bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become increasingly thin."


    That Jiang Fan, is a descendant of Jiang Wuji. In the Heavenly Serpent Clan, he is the son of both races, and in addition to being the son of Jiang Wuji, he is also of the same bloodline. As the power of the Nine Infant bloodlines thins out, the Heavenly Serpent Clan will pay great attention to Jiang Fan if he is a descendant of Jiang Wuji, who can awaken a large amount of power from his bloodline.


    With Elder Jiang''s words, the matter immediately became clear.


    Jiang Fan should be from the Heavenly Serpent Clan. In Jiang Wuji''s bloodline, his Nine Infant Bloodline''s power was the strongest, which was why he wanted to purify his bloodline''s power.


    Hua Ruyi''s body was naturally bewitching, and her physique was superior to others. Using Hua Ruyi as a cauldron, he allowed Jiang Fan to continuously cultivate with her, purifying her bloodline power, and increasing his cultivation.


    This was an extremely good idea.


    Lin Tian Deng had reached a consensus on the crux of the matter.


    Hua Ruyi also thought of this.


    But the next words that Elder Jiang said immediately attracted Lin Tian''s attention: "Also, you don''t have to worry too much, that Jiang Fan will not cultivate with you for too long, and it should be for this period of time. He will be participating in the Sky Phoenix Clan''s son-in-law selection competition, and in the son-in-law selection competition, he seems to have the purity of his bloodline."


    "However, if you can give him a child, it would be even better. A descendant of the Nine Infants, perhaps the purity of your bloodlines will be even more terrifying when the two of you fuse together. At that time, with the support of your mother, you will have the ability to establish a foothold in the Heavenly Serpent Tribe. That is one of the ten great demon clans in the Demon Spirit Realm, you can destroy this tiny Tian Luo Country with a wave of your hand ¡­"


    As Elder Jiang spoke, he was also somewhat excited. He had even arranged for Hua Ruyi to lead the way.


    If it was an ordinary girl, or perhaps it was before Hua Ruyi met Lin Tian, she might have been moved by Elder Jiang''s words, and might even be happy with them, and become completely engrossed in them. However, now, Hua Ruyi faintly felt that she seemed to be slightly moved by Lin Tian, in addition, Hua Ruyi originally hated her own seductive body, which was a restriction for her, and the reason why almost everyone was close to her was all because of this seductive body.


    Only Lin Tian was not the only person. Of course, this was also the difference between Lin Tian and those people. It was also the only place that attracted the attention of Hua Rui.


    "Sky Phoenix Clan, son-in-law selection competition!" Lin Tian''s mind was greatly shaken. Finally, he heard what he wanted to hear.


    His visit was not in vain. This matter was indeed related to Yun Huang.


    In order to stimulate her bloodline''s power, the High Priest of the Sky Phoenix Clan would recruit disciples with dragon bloodline from all over the place to choose a son-in-law for Yun Huang.


    The goal was naturally because of the inheritors of the dragon and phoenix bloodlines. After dual cultivation, one could stimulate the awakening of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodlines.


    However, the dragon race had long since disappeared from the Sky Dragon Continent. It wasn''t so easy to find a disciple with the dragon bloodline, so some other God Beasts, including the descendants of the greater demons, were also chosen by the High Priest.


    In order to activate the power of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline, the High Priest would use any means at his disposal.


    This Jiang Fan was likely one of the candidates.


    Yun Feng''s Ancestral Phoenix bloodline could also awaken the power of Jiang Fan''s Nine Infant Bloodline.


    As such, the current Jiang Fan was able to purify his bloodline with the help of a flower in a cauldron. When he reached a certain level and participated in the son-in-law selection competition, he would have the opportunity to dual cultivate with Yun Huang.


    This was Jiang Fan''s current plan.


    But when he thought of this, Lin Tian''s eyes immediately turned red. His scarlet eyes looked extremely sinister and terrifying.


    "No one is allowed to harm Yun Huang. Anyone who wants to harm Yun Huang, must die!"


    "No matter how much I care, Yun Huang is mine. Whoever dares to think about Yun Huang, they must die!"


    "Jiang Fan, you''ll be the first one, but it won''t be the last time. The ones participating in the son-in-law selection competition, Demon, no matter who it is, everyone come and kill one!"


    "And that dog-priest, I will use your blood to quell the anger in my heart. I will tear you apart, and if you dare to hurt or force Yun Huang, I guarantee that you will regret coming to this world!"


    Lin Tian''s heart surged with endless anger. Yun Huang was his woman, his fianc¨¦e, his everything, his reverse scale!


    The reverse scale of a dragon. Anyone who touched it would die!


    Anyone who wanted to hurt Yun Huang would die!


    KILL, KILL, KILL!


    Lin Tian only had this thought in his mind and his breathing had also become hurried.


    Right now, only slaughter could calm the anger in Lin Tian''s heart.


    Lin Tian''s sudden change in mood caused his aura to immediately be exposed. At the same time, it also attracted Elder Jiang''s attention.


    "Who is it!" Elder Jiang gave an explosive shout as he threw a palm towards a spot not far away.

 C214

    Lin Tian originally had the identity of a spirit runemaster. He had extremely tyrannical Mental Energy and was wrapped in it, so he was able to smoothly hide his body in this Qingxuan Pavilion that was filled with experts, causing those experts to not be able to discover Lin Tian''s aura.


    It was just that the matter that Elder Jiang had just said had touched the deepest place in Lin Tian''s heart that should not be touched.


    That was why Lin Tian''s emotions exploded out in an instant, causing Elder Jiang''s heart to feel something.


    But after Old Man Jiang let out a furious roar, the aura on Lin Tian''s body was completely concealed in an instant.


    At the same time, the palm that old man Jiang suddenly threw out earlier also completely rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian hid in a dark corner not too far away from the room. Right now, he couldn''t avoid it either, so he used his own body to forcibly endure the attack.


    The palm landed on Lin Tian''s body and did not emit any loud sounds.


    It was just that one of the walls in the corner was immediately destroyed by that one palm strike. After that, all the other sounds disappeared.


    But at this moment, such a commotion caused everyone to be alarmed.


    Squad after squadron of guards suddenly rushed out from all over the place. Each of them wielded a weapon in their hands, and their momentum was astonishing.


    Not long later, the leader of the guards asked Old Jiang in his room, "Old Master Jiang, what happened?"


    The aura on Elder Jiang''s body suddenly became cold, and even his gaze towards Hua Ruyi became like that of a venomous snake.


    Hua Ruyi''s heart slightly trembled, but in the next moment, the power of her spiritual will once again came from her sea of consciousness. That surge of spiritual will came from the hidden Lin Tian''s voice: "Don''t worry, I haven''t been exposed. Don''t be afraid. Be more normal ¡­"


    Lin Tian had just used his own body to block the attack and had even smashed the wall behind him.


    Everything had been covered up as if it had been shattered by that palm strike.


    Lin Tian''s body was instantly concealed by his own mental strength. Other people using the power of the soul wouldn''t be able to sense Lin Tian.


    Only by searching here would it be possible to see Lin Tian''s figure, but at that time, Lin Tian could also calmly leave this place.


    Hua Ruyi''s body immediately relaxed. She then took the initiative to ask, "Grandfather, what''s wrong? Could it be that someone is here eavesdropping?"


    Elder Jiang was shocked when he saw Hua Ruyi''s expression. She didn''t look like she was lying at all.


    This caused old man Jiang to slightly relax his vigilance. Just now, Lin Tian''s sudden outburst of killing intent had alarmed him, allowing him to almost instantly feel that biting cold killing intent.


    Thus, Elder Jiang subconsciously struck out. After he struck out with that palm, he began to suspect that if someone had been spying on him just now, it might have been Hua Ruyi''s helper.


    Elder Jiang naturally knew in his heart that Hua Ruo was unwilling to leave with Jiang Fan. The reason why he agreed was because he was thinking of Elder Jiang''s kindness. Therefore, it was normal for her to secretly search for experts to protect her.


    However, now that Hua Ruyi had a calm expression, she even asked if he sensed the presence of an enemy. From this, it could be seen that this Hua Ruyi did not know the identity of the person that was spying on them.


    However, what was even weirder was that the person instantly released a strong killing intent. That killing intent actually made Elder Jiang''s heart palpitate.


    After he had roared and waved his hand, the killing intent disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.


    This made Elder Jiang even more puzzled. An existence with this level of strength was absolutely a top tier expert.


    He was just a top-level expert, what was the purpose of his visit? If it was recruited by Hua Ruyi, then how could she recruit such an expert?


    If Hua Ruyi hadn''t recruited him, then what was the identity of this master? In the middle of the night, what was his purpose in coming to the Clear Pavilion?


    Thinking of this, Elder Jiang did not hesitate any longer, and directly said to the guards outside: "Earlier, I sensed that an expert has arrived at our Clear Pavilion. After searching carefully, I would like to see what kind of god could actually sneak into our sect''s headquarters without anyone knowing."


    "Yes sir!" After all the guards responded, they immediately dispersed in all directions and began to carefully search the Qing Xuan Pavilion.


    As for the commander, he directly went to the corner that was blasted to pieces by Elder Jiang with a single palm strike.


    Only, the current Lin Tian had long since escaped.


    Lin Tian already knew everything he wanted to know, so there was naturally no need to waste time here.


    What happened next was to wait. Waiting for that demon clan called Jiang Fan to bring Hua Ruyi away ¡­


    A group of people naturally returned empty-handed after their search. No one discovered anything unusual. Even the top-notch experts hidden in the dark didn''t detect anything unusual at all.


    He absolutely believed in that Jiang Fan''s strength. Moreover, as long as he could hand Hua Ruyi over to that Jiang Fan, then Elder Jiang''s mission would be completed. If Jiang Fan couldn''t protect Hua Ruyi, then that would be his problem; it wouldn''t have anything to do with the Clear Pavilion.


    Thinking about this, Elder Jiang did not think anymore and directly said to Hua Ruyi: "Little Flower, you must be tired from riding on the Qilin horse all the way here. Tonight, you should be able to rest in peace, that Jiang Fan likes to go out at night and will usually return in the morning. When he returns tomorrow morning, I will bring you to see him.


    "En!" Hua Ruyi obediently nodded her head and followed the maid to rest.


    "Sister Hua, are you not happy ¡­" Seeing Hua Ruyi''s thoughtful expression, the maid couldn''t help but ask.


    "Hmm?" Hua Ruyi was stunned for a moment.


    "I can see that. You don''t want to do it, but, if it were me, I wouldn''t want to either ¡­" The maid said again.


    At this point, Hua Rui''s heart skipped a beat and she asked, "That''s right, Little Mei, have you seen that person before?"


    "Un, that young master, just from the left side of his face, he looks quite handsome. However, the right side of his face has always been concealed ¡­" In the end, Little Plum seemed to have thought of something and asked Hua Ruyi in a low voice, "Big sister Hua, do you know why that Young Noble went out at night?"


    "Why?" Hua Ruyi could not help but ask.


    "That young master is a lecher." Little Mei said mysteriously, "On the first night he arrived, that young master went to the Wind Moon Restaurant for three consecutive days. This young master has been staying in the Wind Moon Restaurant for the past three nights, and I''ve also heard that this young master has dozens of women serving him overnight ¡­"


    "On the second day, an extremely terrifying blood-red mark was left on the bodies of those women ¡­"

 C215

    As Little Mei spoke, she could not help but shudder as she felt goosebumps rise all over her body.


    Hua Ruyi frowned and was about to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided not to.


    Little Plum glanced at Hua Ruyi, then said, "Big sister Hua, that Young Master has taken a fancy to you. To you, I don''t know if this is a blessing or a curse ¡­"


    After Hua Ruyi heard Little Plum''s words, she sighed in her heart. She naturally knew that with a snake''s natural lust, it was normal for Jiang Fan to go to such a place.


    However, this caused her heart to be filled with fear. According to what Little Mei said just now, if she fell into Jiang Fan''s hands, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, she had found Lin Tian.


    Thinking of Lin Tian, a trace of worry also flashed through Hua Ruyi''s heart. When Old Man Jiang sent people to search Lin Tian, Lin Tian had already completely disappeared. After that, he didn''t send her a sound transmission and didn''t know where he was right now.


    However, Hua Ruyi was not too worried, she believed in Lin Tian''s strength.


    After returning to her room, Hua Ruyi did not waste any more time thinking and immediately fell into a deep sleep ¡­


    Currently, Lin Tian was outside of the Clear Pavilion headquarters. He found a tavern and chose a room where he could directly see the entrance of the Pavilion so that he could constantly check out the latest situation inside.


    After a night of silence, on the second day, at daybreak, Lin Tian''s expression immediately changed slightly. A man dressed in black quickly rushed into the Clear Pavilion.


    In the blink of an eye, that black-clothed person disappeared from Lin Tian''s line of sight.


    "Jiang Fan!" Lin Tian Deng immediately recognized the identity of the black-clothed man. Although the aura on his body was concealed by him, he could still feel the power of Lin Tian''s soul. The head of the black-clothed man seemed to be occupied by a sleeping demon beast''s soul.


    An extremely terrifying killing intent was emitted from the demon beast''s soul.


    If Lin Tian guessed correctly, it was the power of the Nine Infants Great Demon''s bloodline.


    This should be a very strong opponent.


    Lin Tian had basically made his judgement.


    "Elder Jiang, I heard that Ruoyi is here?" Although it was early in the morning, Jiang Fan still directly arrived at Elder Jiang''s room. It was obvious that Jiang Fan had just returned from the Wind Moon Restaurant, because his body still carried the thick scent of rouge from the dust on a woman''s body ¡­


    "Un, since you''re back, take her with you ¡­" Elder Jiang slightly frowned. Seeing how Jiang Fan was acting, he felt pity for Hua Ruyi, but he didn''t regret it at all. After all, the price that Jiang Fan had paid was extremely great, and it was enough to satisfy Elder Jiang.


    "Don''t be so anxious, I''ll just take her body first ¡­" A lewd smile appeared on Jiang Fan''s face before he said, "Tsk tsk, this is a natural beauty. Just thinking about it makes me a bit excited."


    "No way!" He spoke directly to Jiang Fan, "Take her and leave first. Last night, when Little Flower came, there was also an expert from my Clear Pavilion, I don''t know if there is any connection between us, but now that she is here, as long as you take her away, I will fulfill my promise. Whatever happens next, it will not be my business, I don''t want to cause any trouble, and I still have to worry about this matter ¡­"


    Elder Jiang directly said what he was thinking, causing Jiang Fan to be slightly startled, but he didn''t say anything more. He only narrowed his eyes, slightly glancing at Elder Jiang like a venomous snake, then suddenly smiled and said: "Alright, since Elder Jiang has said so, I''ll take her with me, but, I''m really curious, who dares to steal my woman!"


    Saying this, Jiang Fan didn''t hesitate at all as he turned around and walked into Hua Ruyi''s room.


    "Beauty, wake up, we are leaving ¡­" Hua Rui was still sleeping when she was awakened by a cold voice.


    "Jiang Fan!" Hua Ruyi was startled, but at this moment, the door creaked open as Jiang Fan pushed it open.


    Seeing Hua Ruyi''s drowsy gaze and her flawless face, Jiang Fan suddenly felt his throat grow dry.


    However, he still forced himself to endure. Such a beautiful woman, he could not allow her to be ruined like this.


    "Come with me." Jiang Fan didn''t waste any words. He directly said these four simple words.


    "Yes." Hua Ruyi slightly hesitated, but in the end, she still lightly nodded her head.


    Jiang Fan didn''t hesitate and directly carried Hua Ruoyi by the waist. In the blink of an eye, he left the Clear Pavilion.


    Jiang Fan''s speed was very fast. Before Hua Ruoyi could regain her senses, Jiang Fan had already carried her and rushed out of the Clear Pavilion. Not only that, but after a short while, Jiang Fan had already left Tian Luo City with her.


    After leaving Tian Luo city and arriving at the outskirts, Jiang Fan immediately let go of Hua Ruyi.


    While Hua Ruyi was still in a daze, Jiang Fan suddenly let out a furious roar and transformed into a black python.


    Hua Ruyi was startled, but before she could do anything, the python Jiang Fan had transformed into swept its tail slightly before wrapping around Hua Ruyi''s waist, firmly placing her on its back.


    In the next moment, the giant python raised its head and roared, before crazily charging into the distance.


    The python''s speed was much faster than the humanoid Jiang Fan from before.


    In the blink of an eye, it was unknown how many miles they had travelled.


    At this moment, Hua Ruyi, who was on the snake''s back, finally felt a ripple in her heart. She finally felt afraid.


    Jiang Fan''s speed was too frightening. From waking her up to carrying her away to now, it had only been the time for a cup of tea to boil but they were already several hundred miles away from Tian Luo City ¡­


    "Is, can he still keep up?" Hua Ruyi was extremely worried, afraid that Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to keep up.


    But in reality, Lin Tian had always been right behind them, and he even maintained a certain distance from them ¡­ ¡­


    Compared to Lin Tian''s speed, even that Jiang Fan was too young.


    After Lin Tian saw Jiang Fan bring Hua Ruyi away from this place, in the blink of an eye, he had followed him.


    As a footwork martial art, Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps could be said to be peerless in this world. Now that he had broken through to the Aurous Core stage, the speed of his God Transforming Steps had increased by several times.


    Thus, it was too easy for Lin Tian to travel with Jiang Fan.


    Not only that, even after Jiang Fan had taken the form of a snake, Lin Tian had effortlessly followed him. Furthermore, he was able to maintain a certain distance from Jiang Fan, so as to not alert him ¡­

 C216

    Lin Tian felt the distance and waited until he was sufficiently far from Tian Luo City before he finally stopped hesitating. The strength of the God Transforming Steps was now completely unleashed and he did not hold back anymore.


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had caught up to Jiang Fan, who was speedily crawling forward.


    At the same time, the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand currently fiercely flashed with an extremely terrifying light. The overflowing Yuan Power on Lin Tian''s body was currently wildly gathering onto the Dragon Scale Spear.


    On the Dragon Scale Spear, a green light flashed. In the next moment, the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear suddenly shot out a green divine dragon. The divine dragon rumbled as it charged towards the giant python that Jiang Fan had transformed into.


    "Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Kill!" Lin Tian''s voice was currently crazily roaring.


    At this time, Jiang Fan had long since sensed Lin Tian''s arrival. His eyes were currently emitting a scarlet light, which was incomparably terrifying. In the next moment, his body lightly trembled, and he directly lifted up Hua Ruyi who was on his back, then firmly placed her to the side.


    After doing that, the huge python suddenly opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Lin Tian.


    "Bam!" Just now, Lin Tian had used the first move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb that he had comprehended for a long time earlier. Its power was indeed extraordinary, but the flesh of the large python was much tougher than what Lin Tian had imagined.


    This shot did not cause much damage to the python.


    On the contrary, the huge python currently swung its tail fiercely. In the next moment, the huge python''s tail and Lin Tian''s body violently collided.


    "Bang bang bang!" A huge collision sound was immediately heard.


    But at this time, a person and a python clashed together. They unexpectedly both retreated a few steps. Lin Tian only stabilized his body after taking a few steps back.


    The giant python slid for a distance before stabilizing its body.


    However, in the next moment, the python changed back into its human form.


    "Who are you?" Jiang Fan looked warily at Lin Tian in front of him. He had some conjectures in his mind: "Just now, old man Jiang said that an expert snuck into the Clear Pavilion last night. Could it be that the person in front of him is the expert from last night?"


    Thinking of this, Jiang Fan immediately started to hesitate. Why would this person want to go against him?


    When they were fighting just now, Jiang Fan already knew this person''s strength. He was only an expert who had just reached the Aurous Core stage. But why was his battle prowess so astonishing?


    Jiang Fan was an expert at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage. He was only a hair away from the Astral Realm.


    His cultivation realm was eight small realms higher than Lin Tian''s. It could almost be said that he was an entire realm stronger.


    But when he transformed into the python''s body and clashed with Lin Tian, he unexpectedly didn''t get any advantage at all. How could this not shock Jiang Fan? At the same time, he also began to guess Lin Tian''s identity.


    "You came for her?" Jiang Fan asked again. He thought that Lin Tian was here to snatch the flower Ruoyi with one finger.


    "Not exactly. To be precise, I came to kill you. As for taking him away, it''s just a matter of convenience ¡­" Lin Tian tightly gripped his Dragon Scale Spear in his hand as he stared at Jiang Fan.


    Lin Tian had also felt Jiang Fan''s strength from the previous clash. Jiang Fan''s strength was at the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage, eight small realms stronger than him.


    If he continued to fight with him, he would still be at a disadvantage because the gap in strength was something that nothing else could make up for.


    However, Lin Tian''s physical strength did not lose out to him at all. In fact, Lin Tian felt that even if his physical body met a true Star River expert, he would not be afraid of it.


    Therefore, Lin Tian had to find his advantage as soon as possible and quickly kill this Jiang Fan.


    Although they were far enough from Tian Luo City now, if they did not kill him soon, it would still be a disaster.


    Jiang Fan had to die!


    This had already been decided since the day he was going to participate in the son-in-law selection competition.


    Anyone who wanted to harm Yun Huang would die.


    So the reason why Lin Tian had replied like that was because Lin Tian was involved with this matter earlier was because he knew that it was related to Yun Huang, but the majority of the reason was because he wanted to help Hua Ruyi.


    But now, helping Hua Ruyi was secondary. His first mission was to kill this fellow who was concerned about Yun Huang.


    However, before killing Jiang Fan, Lin Tian still had to ask him clearly what was going on with the selection competition.


    Back then, Yun Huang had told him to make a trip to Demon Spirit Realm no matter what when he reached the Emperor Realm. But now, he was still a little too far away from the Emperor Realm.


    The current Lin Tian did not know what had happened to Yun Huang or what plot the Sky Phoenix Clan had against Yun Huang.


    Therefore, he needed this Jiang Fan to provide him with information.


    After all, Lin Tian''s current strength was still too weak and he still couldn''t go to the Demon Spirit Realm.


    "Kill me?" Jiang Fan was even more shocked. He had no idea when he had provoked Lin Tian and why the person in front of him had come to kill him.


    "That''s right, I''ll kill you!" Lin Tian nodded without the slightest hesitation.


    "Because of her?" Jiang Fan once again pointed at Hua Ruyi.


    "Yes, and no." Lin Tian was at a loss before speaking the truth.


    Hua Ruyi, who was at the side, also heard the conversation between the two, but she wasn''t the least bit surprised. Wasn''t the reason why Lin Tian was willing to intervene in this matter previously because of Lin Tian''s so-called fianc¨¦e?


    Thus, killing Jiang Fan now should be Lin Tian''s own idea.


    After all, Hua Ruyi had already faintly guessed that the thing that Elder Jiang mentioned about the selection competition was related to Lin Tian''s fiancee.


    "That''s strange. I can understand for her sake, but if it''s for her sake, then you and I have no grievances in the long run and no enmity in the recent days. Why did you come to kill me?" Jiang Fan couldn''t help but ask.


    After exchanging a blow with Lin Tian, Jiang Fan knew that this brat was definitely not some ordinary expert and would definitely be stronger than him. To be honest, Jiang Fan didn''t really want to fight with Lin Tian, especially now that he had obtained Hua Ruyi.


    Jiang Fan wanted to reconcile with Lin Tian so that he could return to the Demon Spirit Realm as soon as possible.


    But Lin Tian shook his head and firmly said: "No matter what, you must die. When you still have one last breath left, I will tell you why I killed you!"


    "I really did give you face!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Jiang Fan couldn''t hold it in either.


    This Lin Tian''s tone was like he was certain that he, Jiang Fan, would win. But what right did he have?


    "Fine, I want to see how you''re going to kill me!" Jiang Fan stared at Lin Tian with sinister eyes.

 C217

    Jiang Fan flew into a rage. He was originally stronger than Lin Tian, but he was a ninth level Jindan Stage expert with a Nine Infant Bloodline. He was one of the top ten Heavenly Serpent Race geniuses in the Demon Spirit Realm.


    Just now when they had asked for peace, Jiang Fan already felt that he had given enough face to Lin Tian. He really didn''t want to risk his life and fight with others at this time. After all, he wanted to return home as soon as possible.


    What he needed to do next was to close up and cultivate as soon as possible to purify his bloodline. After all, he wanted to participate in the son-in-law selection competition, not fight with this kid of unknown origins here.


    However, since this fellow didn''t know what was good for him, he actually dared to try to kill him.


    Then there was no need to give him any face, he might as well just kill him!


    However, this brat''s strength is not weak. If I want to kill him, I will probably need to spend some effort ¡­


    "Kill!" Jiang Fan no longer hesitated and instead flew up, transforming into a giant python in the air. That giant python''s tail suddenly swept out and then shot towards Lin Tian.


    A strong strong gale suddenly rushed towards Lin Tian, Lin Tian did not dare to be slow, the long spear in his hand pointed, a cold light gathered, and then also fiercely shot towards Jiang Fan.


    This move was the same one that Angel Lin had used before, the first move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Extermination!


    Wild Yuan Power continuously gushed out of Lin Tian''s body like a great river. After which, it gathered on the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand. In the next moment, a spear light that was wrapped with incomparably terrifying Yuan Power pierced towards Jiang Fan.


    "Boom boom boom!" The Dragon Scale Spear and the huge python''s snake tail clashed against each other. Lin Tian Deng felt an intense rebound in his hands, in the next moment, the rebound was sent back towards Lin Tian and Jiang Fan.


    The strong recoil almost made Lin Tian unable to hold his spear.


    However, the power of the spear did not leave any traces on the python''s body.


    Even when the recoil landed on the python, there was no reaction.


    From this, it could be seen that Jiang Fan''s strength was much greater than Lin Tian''s. As for the python''s defensive power, it was even more frightening.


    Lin Tian was not discouraged. The Origin Energy throughout his body once again rolled and surged into the long spear in his hands. The next moment, the spear shot out again, with the same destructive move as before.


    In those few days, Lin Tian was closed doors meditating on the martial arts of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, but he was still able to comprehend it. In order to truly improve, he still needed to fight.


    Thus, right now, Lin Tian was using Jiang Fan in front of him as a mirror.


    With an opponent like him helping him to test the spear technique of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, presumably Lin Tian would be able to quickly improve.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" Lin Tian''s long spear landed on Jiang Fan''s python body again and again.


    However, each time, it would only emit the sound of metal colliding with stone. However, in the end, it did not injure the large python.


    But that huge python also didn''t cause any harm to Lin Tian. Occasionally, it would sweep its tail towards Lin Tian, but Lin Tian didn''t resist at all and just forcefully collided with the huge python.


    The degree of tyranny of Lin Tian''s body was absolutely not inferior to the strength of this python''s body.


    Thus, the two of them were unable to determine the victor in such a short time.


    This way, even that Jiang Fan couldn''t hold himself back.


    Its large python body began to grow crazily in an instant.


    The next moment, something strange happened. Another head popped out of the python''s head.


    The next moment, another head popped out.


    "The fourth ¡­"


    "The fifth ¡­"


    Before long, the python had produced eight other heads from its head. In addition, it previously possessed one head. In other words, this python now had a total of nine heads.


    These nine heads appeared to be identical existences. However, when one looked carefully, they were able to notice that these nine heads were completely different. Regardless of their size or appearance, there was a clear difference between them.


    With nine heads, Lin Tian was not too surprised. This person called Jiang Fan originally possessed the Nine Infant Blood Serpent Race, nine heads would be his Nine Infants, thus he was also able to have nine heads, which was not too surprising.


    According to the legends, the nine heads of the Nine Infants were all different. Each head had its own special ability, which was why the Nine Infants couldn''t evolve into a dragon.


    If they transformed into flood dragons, then these nine snake heads with special abilities would turn into nine even more terrifying dragon heads.


    It was already a bit against the will of the heavens to possess such great power.


    Therefore, the Nine Infant Faction failed in its tribulation, unable to evolve successfully. This kind of powerful existence that violated the laws of the world was something that the heavens and earth could not tolerate.


    However, from this, it could be seen how terrifying these nine heads were.


    Just as Lin Tian was deep in thought, Jiang Fan''s head suddenly spat out an extremely terrifying flame power.


    A monstrous flame instantly swept towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s heart slightly shook, but his reaction was still incomparably fast. In the next moment, the God Transforming Steps crazily rushed forward and then escaped from the range of the flame attack.


    If this attack failed, then Jiang Fan would have already sent out another attack. At this moment, the other head of the giant python once again shot out an icy power towards Lin Tian.


    The power of fire, the power of frost, was extremely terrifying when it came out from two different heads.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and once again used the God Transforming Steps to dodge the other head''s attack. But at the same time, Lin Tian did not want to keep dodging. What Lin Tian wanted to do was to counterattack!


    The speed of the God Transforming Steps had once again been raised to the limit by Lin Tian. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s figure strangely appeared in front of Jiang Fan.


    Lin Tian''s body leaped high into the air and the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand once again emitted an extremely bright green light.


    In the next moment, he once again roared out in anger, "The second move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª Shadow!"


    whoosh whoosh whoosh * In an instant, countless spear shadows erupted from the top of the dragon scale spear.


    Following that, the spear shadows instantly condensed into one. However, in the next moment, another nine spear shadows appeared.


    The nine spear shadows were crazily being split up and rushing toward the python''s nine heads.


    "Roar, roar, roar!" After seeing Lin Tian''s current spear strength, that large python also began to quickly become restless.


    However, when the spear shadows landed on the heads, the huge python''s head once again shot out waves of strange power. After that, it broke Lin Tian''s afterimage once again.


    "Roar!" After breaking Lin Tian''s move, the large python once again crazily rushed towards Lin Tian.


    This time, a poisonous gas was ejected from one of the heads.


    The other heads crazily spat out strange powers and after that, they all rushed towards Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and was about to fight back.


    However, at this time, a change suddenly occurred on Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian felt his left hand slightly move. The next moment, from his left hand, waves of extremely terrifying cold energy suddenly came.


    In the blink of an eye, the cold power rushed out from Lin Tian''s body and rushed towards the large python''s body.


    However, it was at this moment that the powerful and terrifying frost power quickly bound Jiang Fan''s body, forming a huge pillar of ice.


    And that cold energy was not any other power. It was the power of the Ice Silkworm on Lin Tian''s left hand.


    Previously, the ice silkworm on Lin Tian''s left hand had been in a deep sleep and had not awakened at all.


    Only when the power of the Nine Infant''s bloodline completely appeared from the large python did the Icy Jade Silkworm on Lin Tian''s left hand have a reaction. Moreover, it had charged out at the most crucial moment.


    The ice silkworm was awakened by the power of the Nine Infant''s bloodline, so after the ice silkworm awakened, the cold energy in its body would automatically shoot out.


    The python''s body was frozen in an instant.


    At this time, the frozen Jiang Fan''s heart was filled with even more fear. How could this Lin Tian be so terrifying? How could his body suddenly emit such a strong power?


    Moreover, for some unknown reason, this powerful ice-cold energy gave Jiang Fan a faint sense of foreboding.


    However, even if he wanted to speak, he couldn''t.


    But right at this moment, Jiang Fan suddenly saw an extremely skinny, beast-like existence suddenly appear on Lin Tian''s left hand.


    It was a chubby little thing. Although it was called a demon beast, it didn''t look very similar. At this moment, that little thing was flapping its wings as it rushed in front of Jiang Fan.


    But for some reason, as that little thing got closer and closer to him, Jiang Fan felt his entire body tremble, and then he felt goosebumps rise all over his body.


    That feeling was one of fear. Yes, fear. He was afraid that the little thing would come!


    It was the first time that Jiang Fan felt the blood in his body slow down in front of this little thing. In fact, he could even feel his soul trembling nonstop.


    At the same time, the chubby little white thing flew around Jiang Fan a few times, but didn''t land on him.


    At this moment, Lin Tian''s face was filled with curiosity as he looked at the Ice Silkworm. He also didn''t know what the Ice Silkworm Baby wanted to do at this moment. Moreover, this Ice Silkworm Baby didn''t come out according to any pattern.


    However, this little thing had lived in Lin Tian''s body for such a long time. Naturally, Lin Tian understood him very well.


    This little thing was someone who had nothing better to gain from. Now that it had suddenly appeared, it proved one thing ¡ª that Jiang Fan, or perhaps the python that Jiang Fan had transformed into, was the little thing''s dish.


    However, the python Jiang Fan had transformed into was trembling nonstop. It was very scared, but there was nothing it could do.


    At this moment, his body was completely frozen by the frightening frost power. He couldn''t move at all. Naturally, he could only watch on helplessly as the ice silkworm continued to move.


    The Ice Silkworm baby circled around Jiang Fan a few times, and before long, the Ice Silkworm baby finally stopped above Jiang Fan''s head.


    However, it was at this moment that the ice bug suddenly opened its small mouth and bit through Jiang Fan''s head.


    In the next moment, the Ice Worm baby lay on the wound on Jiang Fan''s head and began to frantically suck Jiang Fan''s blood.

 C218

    Jiang Fan''s head was bitten off. His face was filled with fear as he looked at the little thing, but there was nothing he could do.


    Lin Tian was also incomparably astonished. He had exchanged blows with Jiang Fan so many times just now, that he clearly understood the power of this giant python that Jiang Fan had transformed into. However, the little ice silkworm had only taken a light bite, and the python that Jiang Fan had transformed into had directly shattered its body.


    After biting through that head, the Ice Silkworm didn''t waste the slightest time. It lay on its stomach and began to suck on the head.


    At this moment, Jiang Fan''s other eight heads were tightly staring at the ice silkworm. The fear in his heart was completely written on his face. He already knew what had happened.


    The power of his bloodline was currently being absorbed by this chubby little thing.


    At the same time, Jiang Fan''s strength also rapidly decreased as his bloodline power was devoured.


    Before long, Jiang Fan felt his body grow weaker and weaker, and even his consciousness had become a bit blurry.


    He struggled to break free from the icy power released by the ice silkworm, but failed after several attempts.


    At this moment, the Ice Worm was like a maggot on the bone, sucking the blood from his body without stopping.


    The essence of Jiang Fan''s body was his bloodline power. He was the descendant of the Nine Infant Bloodline, so the concentration of the Nine Infant Bloodline was not low in his body. Not only that, he had cultivated for so many years to purify a lot of the bloodline.


    But now, it was very clear that his entire body''s essence was about to be devoured by this vampire.


    Jiang Fan felt his consciousness becoming more and more blurry, more and more blurry. But at the same time, Jiang Fan also started to become more and more frightened.


    But it was also because of this that his desire to live was this strong. He also knew that if he didn''t break free now, then the only thing waiting for him was death.


    Jiang Fan wanted to try circulating the power within his body and break free from the restraints of the cold energy, but unfortunately, the more he struggled, the faster the ice silkworm could absorb the energy.


    Not long after, the Ice Worm finally stopped talking and flew into the air. However, looking at the little thing''s expression, it was clearly not very satisfied. It was probably because the power of Jiang Fan''s blood still did not meet its requirements.


    The ice silkworm thought for a moment, before spitting out another gust of cold air. The icy energy once again wrapped around Jiang Fan, and the ice silkworm fiercely pounced towards Jiang Fan''s body.


    "Kacha, kacha." In the next moment, this sound was immediately heard. Jiang Fan''s body was actually bitten by the ice silkworm into several pieces. A golden inner core suddenly fell out from Jiang Fan''s Dantian.


    The ice silkworm unceremoniously swallowed the golden core.


    That was Jiang Fan''s Jindan, but right now it was being taken advantage of by the Ice Silkworm.


    In other words, after Jiang Fan''s body had been broken into several pieces, he had completely died.


    At the same time, in the Demon Spirit Domain, the Heavenly Serpent Race were split into two factions. One was a pure snake clan, the other was a human clan, and they were the descendants of Jiang Wuji. They were also members of the Heavenly Snake clan.


    At this moment, in the Jiang Clan''s ancestral hall, a jade token suddenly exploded.


    Soon after, an extremely furious roar rang out from within the ancestral hall ¡­


    "Who was it? Who killed my Fan''er?" That person''s voice was hoarse and gloomy, sounding extremely terrifying.


    The one who spoke earlier was an old man. The old man''s face was covered with snake scale after snake, making him look extremely terrifying.


    He frowned slightly and shouted towards the outside, "River Town!"


    In the next moment, a middle-aged man quickly arrived from outside the temple. He knelt before the old man and asked, "Father, are you looking for me?"


    "Where did Jiang Fan go?" The old man restrained the anger in his expression and asked.


    "Fan''er?" At the foot of the ancestral hall, the man called Jiang Zhen pondered for a moment before speaking, "Fan''er seems to have gone to a small country in the Western Spiritual Realm ¡­"


    The old man was also startled, and then he asked, "Where is he going?"


    "Seems like he''s looking for a girl that''s innately bewitching?" Jiang Zhen replied once again, "I think he told me once, but I didn''t pay much attention to it. He''s been gone for half a month now, right? What, Father is looking for Fan''er for some mission? I''ll call someone else to help you?"


    "This is quite strange. Could it be that there is a top expert within a small country in the Western Spirit Region?" The old man mumbled to himself.


    "Hmm?" Jiang Zhen''s eyes suddenly narrowed and asked: "Father, what do you mean by that?"


    "Jiang Fan is dead!" The old man spoke in an astonishing tone.


    "What?" Jiang Zhen looked at the old man with disbelief as he asked.


    "Jiang Fan is dead, just now." The old man replied once again. Then, he pointed towards the ancestral hall''s ancestral tablets and gently hooked his finger.


    The old man immediately took the shattered pieces of the jade token. In the next moment, he threw it towards Jiang Zhen.


    "Hmm?" Jiang Zhen immediately flew into a rage and roared: "Who is it, who killed my son!"


    "If you say that Fan''er went to the Western Spiritual Realm, then it''s very likely that he died in the Western Spiritual Realm. I can feel Jiang Fan''s death, and it''s very far away from us, and I also don''t feel any aura of the enemy ¡­" The old man naturally understood Jiang Zhen''s feelings and sighed. He didn''t continue speaking and directly issued an order, "Pass down the order, all of my Jiang Clan''s disciples in the Western Spiritual Region will go search for Jiang Fan."


    "The moment you receive any news, immediately report it to the authorities. Pay extra attention, you must definitely find out who killed Jiang Fan ¡­"


    Jiang Zhen was surprised for a moment, but just as he was about to say something, the old man continued: "However, after you find out the news, don''t alert the snake. You must come back and report it first."


    "Why is that?" Jiang Zhen was surprised and couldn''t help but ask.


    The old man frowned. He didn''t seem to be too satisfied with his son. However, he patiently explained, "The Western Spiritual Realm has always been a place with a shortage of Spiritual Aura. The other great Spiritual Realms are far from being able to nurture experts like us."


    "The person who killed Jiang Fan should know his identity, but since he knows our Heavenly Serpent Clan''s identity, he still dared to kill him. From this, it can be seen that he was here for Jiang Fan." The old man analyzed for a moment and roughly analyzed what had happened.


    Since they knew that the killer was here for Jiang Fan, this meant that this expert, who could kill Jiang Fan, was not afraid of the Heavenly Serpent Clan. If those Jiang Clan disciples who had spied on them went to kill them, wouldn''t they be sending themselves to their deaths?


    The old man sighed: "Zhen''er, I know that Jiang Fan''s death has angered you, but now is not the time to be angry, the Sky Phoenix Clan''s son-in-law selection competition is about to begin, in the Demon Spirit Domain, all the clans are searching for each other''s information, we, the Sky Snake Tribe, absolutely cannot have any problems, moreover, I have a feeling that the murder of Jiang Fan might have something to do with the selection competition ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Jiang Zhen immediately understood his father''s meaning.


    In the selection competition, the genius disciple of the Heavenly Serpent Clan was Jiang Fan.


    Although Jiang Fan''s strength was not that great, his bloodline purity was still very high. This was also what the Heavenly Phoenix Clan valued the most.


    This time, the reason he went to the Western Spiritual Realm to find that bewitching body to help him purify his blood essence was also to help with the selection competition.


    However, Jiang Fan had died. The one who had taken action was still the one who had killed Jiang Fan in the Western Spiritual Region.


    According to his father, Jiang Fan''s death could be a human from the Western Spirit Region. Of course, it was also more likely that he was a demi-human from the Demon Spirit Realm.


    In this selection competition, Jiang Fan''s reputation should be considered as one of the higher ranked disciples ¡­


    Could it be those beasts of the Snake family?


    The Jiang Clan, which Jiang Zhen was in, and the other Heavenly Serpent species, were a little bit out of place ¡­


    There were also demons that were not on the same level as the Sky Serpent Clan. However, there were simply too many of them. There was a high chance that they could kill Jiang Fan.


    Moreover, this matter was also linked to the selection competition.


    Thinking of this, even Jiang Zhen felt a headache coming on. He had been too careless back then. He hadn''t thought that Jiang Fan would be the only one to go there.


    Furthermore, Jiang Fan had gone to a small country like the Western Region. He originally thought he would be safe, but now, he was overthinking things.


    The old man sighed and then said to Jiang Zhen, "The Demon Spirit Domain will not be peaceful for a few days. Although it looks calm now, very soon, a torrential storm will arrive. You should prepare earlier, you should go down and make the arrangements ¡­"


    "Yes, Father." Jiang Zhen didn''t say anything more and directly went to arrange for people to investigate Jiang Fan''s death.


    And at this time, looking at the Jiang Fan who had been killed so casually by the ice silkworm, Lin Tian''s gaze was a little dazed. He stubbornly looked at the scene in front of him and was still shocked in his heart.


    Actually, Lin Tian wanted to stop the little thing just now when he figured out what it was thinking. Unfortunately, he was a step too late.


    Lin Tian wanted to know more about that son-in-law selection competition from Jiang Fan. Unfortunately, before he could speak, Jiang Fan''s body was already divided into several segments by this little thing in front of him ¡­


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t know what kind of waves were triggered by Jiang Fan''s death. He only knew that killing Jiang Fan was only the beginning.


    In the future, he would continue to kill all the demons that were participating in the so called son-in-law selection competition.


    For any demon clan, as long as they met Lin Tian, they would only have one result ¡ª ¡ª death!


    However, Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. At this time, the Ice Worm baby had already opened its mouth and swallowed Jiang Fan''s entire body. It then turned back into a chubby little bug and once again imprinted itself on Lin Tian''s left hand, falling into a deep sleep.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, grabbed the currently dazed Hua Ruyi and hastily left the place ¡­

 C219

    After killing Jiang Fan, Lin Tian didn''t leave any trace.


    Because it was the Ice Silkworm, it directly devoured Jiang Fan''s body.


    At this time, Hua Ruyi, who had been grabbed by Lin Tian and flying all the way, was still a little dazed.


    She also didn''t think that Lin Tian would actually be able to kill Jiang Fan so easily.


    "Where are we going next?" On the way, Hua Ruyi couldn''t help but ask Lin Tian.


    Go straight back to the Azure Province. Although I am not too clear about the powers of the Sky Serpent Clan, I''m sure that they will not be able to find our whereabouts in a short period of time. However, I''m afraid that you will not be able to stay in the Qingxuan Pavilion. Lin Tian thought for a moment and then replied.


    After killing Jiang Fan, Lin Tian had actually thought of the consequences in his heart. However, the most important thing right now was the newborn monster tide mission.


    As for the matter of the son-in-law selection competition, Lin Tian originally wanted to get more information from Jiang Fan. However, the Iceworm opened its mouth and swallowed Jiang Fan, naturally leaving this matter alone.


    However, of course, there was another more important reason. It was because Lin Tian''s strength was not strong enough to go to the Demon Spirit Realm to find Yun Huang.


    Initially, Yun Huang had said that if Lin Tian wanted to find her, he would need to at least reach the Emperor Stage.


    This was the realm of the Emperor Stage. Lin Tian had only just reached the Aurous Core Stage. This realm was still far from the Emperor Stage.


    Therefore, even if he went to the Demon Spirit Domain now, not only would it be useless, it might even become a source of information for the High Priest to threaten Yun Huang.


    In this way, he would be a burden to Yun Huang.


    Besides, from what Elder Jiang had said before, the selection competition wouldn''t be held in the short term.


    During this period of time, Lin Tian had to make full use of his time to cultivate. Only when his strength was strong enough to protect Yun Huang would Lin Tian be able to look for Yun Huang at ease.


    Using the God Transforming Steps to the extreme, Lin Tian didn''t delay for even a moment as he crazily ran. After half a day, he had already rushed back to Tian Luo City.


    At this time, the Qilin Horse had automatically arrived outside of the city. Lin Tian and Hua Ruyi did not hesitate and rode the Qilin Horse back to Qingzhou City.


    He came to Tian Luo City last night, but this afternoon, he had to rush back to Qingzhou City at an extremely fast speed.


    When she came last night, Hua Ruyi was still a little worried that Lin Tian would be able to help him solve these problems. But now, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.


    To Lin Tian, that Jiang Fan wasn''t difficult at all.


    At this point, Hua Ruyi was still in disbelief. She felt as if she was in a dream.


    But now, she could clearly feel her own heartbeat and also Lin Tian''s breathing. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief. That''s right, now that she was certain, she was safe. She had successfully escaped from that person''s Demon Claw.


    However, she did not have to be happy for long as the Qilin horse had already brought Lin Tian and Hua Ruyi back to the Azure Province.


    Lin Tian thought about it for a moment. For the time being, he would have to send Ruyi to the Clear Pavilion. After all, he had to immediately rush over to participate in the beast tide mission, so he had no time to care about her.


    Moreover, even Elder Jiang didn''t know that Lin Tian had killed Jiang Fan and brought Hua Ruyi back.


    Thus, in these few days, it was absolutely safe for Hua Ruyi to remain here. Regardless of whether it was the maids from the Clear Pavilion or Jiang Liu''er, they would not sell out Hua Ruyi.


    After a few simple words with Jiang Liu''er, Lin Tian hurriedly left.


    Just as Hua Ruoyi was about to say something, Lin Tian''s figure had already disappeared into the distance. Hua Ruyi didn''t even say a word of ''thank you''.


    But just when everyone thought that Lin Tian had already left the Azure Province, from the distance, another figure suddenly rushed over.


    That person was none other than Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian who had already left suddenly thought of something that could kill him. That was, he did not have spirit stones.


    To hurry to Sky City and leave from the Azure Province was really too far and it would be a waste of time so Lin Tian decided to return to the Northern Courtyard first. However, if he wanted to return to the Northern Courtyard, he still needed to use the Teleportation Formation.


    Lin Tian didn''t have enough spirit stones on him at the moment. This was because when he came earlier, Lin Tian had borrowed a huge amount from Fang Xing''s trio.


    He did not have a single spirit stone on him, and it was all used up during his breakthrough.


    "That, that ¡­" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and felt a bit too embarrassed to say it out loud.


    Hua Ruyi handed over a storage ring to Lin Tian and said: "These are all the spirit stones that the Clear Pavilion can take out. Save your time ¡­"


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Jiang Liu''er and the other maids looked at each other with a strange smile on their faces.


    The two of them were a bit off. Yesterday, they had ridden away together, but today, they had returned together. Hua Rui''s tone of voice just now towards Lin Tian was extremely similar to a wife sending off her husband ¡­


    Lin Tian did not think too much about it, and did not see anything else from Hua Ruyi''s gaze. Instead, he took the storage ring from Hua Ruyi and said seriously: "In that case, thank you very much Miss Hua, but I will remember today''s favor with the spirit stones. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay this kindness ¡­ ¡­"


    Do you really want to owe me something so badly that I can always owe you something? If you can tell me exactly how much I owe you, then that''s fine. Hua Ruyi''s sudden attack caused Lin Tian to be startled. He didn''t quite understand what she meant.


    He raised his head to look. Hua Ruyi''s eyes were slightly red as she stared at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian sighed in his heart. He suddenly understood Hua Ruyi''s intentions.


    However, in his heart, there was already Yun Huang, and he could no longer stay with anyone else. Furthermore, he thought that Hua Ruoyi might be more grateful to him, but she might not have really fallen in love with him.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t say much. He slightly bowed to Hua Ruoyi, then pulled Jiang Liu''er over. After giving a few words of instruction, he quickly flew away.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s actions, Hua Ruyi''s heart couldn''t hold back anymore, and her tears fell like broken beads.


    The next moment, seeing Lin Tian rush out, she still couldn''t hold it in and chased after him. Then, like a madman, she shouted at Lin Tian''s back: "Lin Tian, you bastard, you bastard!"


    Hua Ruyi was like a shrew as she crazily cursed at Lin Tian''s back.


    Then, as if he had used up all of his strength, his body suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground. "Why am I so disappointing? Why is it so hard to feel ¡­"


    Jiang Liu''er looked at her sister''s actions in a daze. He had never thought that his sister, who was like a goddess in his heart, would turn out like this, not caring about any men at all.


    "Elder sister ¡­" At this moment, a group of maids rushed forward to help Hua Ruyi up.


    Hua Ruyi''s body was extremely weak at the moment, and her forehead was burning. After two consecutive days of running and scaring her, Hua Ruyi was completely exhausted.


    And Lin Tian''s refusal, without a doubt, crushed her last straw of straw. It made her unable to endure any longer and she directly fell down.

 C220

    And at this time, Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. He had heard Hua Ruyi''s voice, but he still didn''t turn his head back as he directly rushed towards the Azure Province Headquarters.


    Without the slightest pause, Lin Tian directly used the Main Courtyard''s Teleportation Array and teleported to the Northern Courtyard.


    The north, south, east, and west branches were all within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Sky City, which had encountered a beast tide, was located southwest of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Thus, if they were to rush from the Northern Courtyard to Sky Space City, it would be faster.


    Hua Ruyi had obviously been prepared.


    This time, Lin Tian examined the storage ring a little and discovered that there were a total of two hundred thousand high grade spirit stones in the storage ring.


    There were even 10,000 top quality spirit stones and thousands of spirit crystals. However, those were only low quality spirit crystals.


    But even so, to suddenly have so much wealth made Lin Tian somewhat guilty.


    He was no fool, and could naturally see the friendship between Hua Ruyi and him. It was just that there was already Yun Huang in his heart, and he already wanted to take another person as his master.


    Moreover, the reason why Lin Tian had agreed to allow Hua Ruyi to handle her matters was also because of this matter with Yun Huang.


    Originally, Lin Tian didn''t have much love or adoration for Hua Ruyi. On the contrary, Lin Tian had always felt that Hua Ruoyi was a calamity that could not be easily provoked.


    However, due to a coincidence, he still made his move.


    However, to Lin Tian, Hua Ruyi was truly not bad.


    Lin TianAo had given Lin Tiantian ten thousand spirit stones just now, and now it was over two hundred thousand spirit stones. All these spirit stones were taken from the Clear Pavilion.


    Moreover, this was clearly prepared in advance. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to immediately take it out when Lin Tian said he wanted it.


    From this point of view, Hua Ruyi had fallen for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian shook his head with all his might and then tossed those messy thoughts to the back of his mind.


    In an instant, the Teleportation Formation teleported Lin Tian to the Northern Courtyard.


    After returning to the Northern Courtyard, Lin Tian naturally first returned to his own cave abode. They had already left a long time ago, and this time, the Sky City''s monster tide mission required all the new students to go because it was originally a task exclusive to new students.


    Lin Tian examined his own cave abode and found no abnormalities. Originally, Lin Tian was worried that if he wasn''t there, this cave abode would be occupied by other students.


    But now, it seemed that he had overthought things.


    After a series of battles, Lin Tian''s fierce reputation in the Northern Courtyard was completely brought out.


    All the students of the Inner Academy knew of the existence of such a fierce student, so no one dared to touch him. Even if Lin Tian''s cave was condensing Spiritual Energy at several times faster than an ordinary one, no one dared to occupy it.


    Only then did Lin Tian relax before taking out his identity plate. On it, Teacher Zhang Feng had already marked out the route to Sky City for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and from the Divine Palace, another wave of strong mental power surged out.


    In an instant, waves of Mental Energy once again condensed into a formidable formation, and completely enveloped the cave.


    It was another talisman formation power and it was a defensive formation. The reason was to cover the cave and with that, once someone came to Lin Tian''s cave, Lin Tian would be able to immediately feel it.


    After finishing all of this, Lin Tian didn''t waste any more time and directly hurried towards Sky City.


    From last night to tonight, Lin Tian had only used one day.


    By tomorrow morning, he should be able to rush to Sky Space City.


    Today, those students led by Zhang Feng should have already rushed to the Sky City. Today, they would rest for a while. Tomorrow, they would have to deal with those beasts.


    As a result, when Lin Tian arrived tomorrow, he should be able to make it in time.


    Lin Tian sped along the way. Under the night sky, from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, he crazily rushed towards Sky City.


    Sky City, at the southwest area of Qingzhou.


    The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was located there, and the Sky City was also the only human city near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Because of the unique geographical location of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and the powerful Monstrous Beasts contained within it, after the Azure Province Academy was established, the location of the branch academy was chosen within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    The four great branch academies were all located here.


    Sky City could be considered to have an excellent geographical location. Adventurers, hunters, and other places to settle down in were all chosen in Sky City.


    So Sky City was also very prosperous.


    However, there was a disadvantage to being too close to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. It was that Sky City would be affected by the beast tide every year and it could not be stopped.


    However, no one knew the reason behind the beast tide.


    In the last thousand years, the beast tide had only appeared seven or eight times.


    However, in recent years, the activity frequency of demon beasts had suddenly increased.


    Over the past hundred years, the demon beast horde had occurred more than a dozen times. This did not include the activities of some small scale demon beasts.


    Including the small beast tide, the beast tide occurs once a year.


    A few small beast tides could be completely resolved in Sky City, but for large scale demon beast activities, Sky City would not be able to solve them. Therefore, they would seek the help of the nearest Azure Province Academy.


    For the students of the Azure Province, the beast tide was a very good opportunity to train the students. Therefore, regardless of whether it was the north, south, east, or west branches, they would help Sky City deal with the beast tide as a routine task for their respective branches.


    However, this was the first time he had asked a new student to complete the mission of the monster tide.


    However, if one thought about it like that, the size of the monster tide should not be that big.


    After all, if the beast tide was too large, these students wouldn''t have enough experience to deal with it.


    Running in the night, Lin Tian chose the closest road and directly passed through the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Along the way, he borrowed the darkness of the night, coupled with Lin Tian''s Spirit Transformation Steps'' strange speed, it didn''t alarm too many demon beasts.


    Occasionally one or two Spirit Beasts would be alarmed by Lin Tian, but in the end, these Spirit Beasts were all killed by Lin Tian''s palm.


    When dawn was about to break, Lin Tian finally rushed to Sky City.


    On the north side of Sky City near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Lin Tian saw the scale of the beast tide.


    In front of the north gate, there were countless beasts gathered.


    From the looks of it, those demon beasts were planning to break through the city gates of Sky Space City.


    It was the first time that Lin Tian had seen such a huge monster horde. In an instant, he was also a bit surprised. He did not hesitate and directly rushed towards Sky City''s west gate.


    Simply stating his identity, Lin Tian arrived at the Northern Courtyard encampment.


    The task this time was carried out jointly by the North, South, East, and West branches of the Beast Upheaval. They had sent new students from their respective divisions. Of course, there were also some elderly students and instructors who were protecting them.


    Not far from the city walls, Sky City had specially opened up an area for the four major academies to station themselves.


    The East and South Academies had arrived a few days in advance. The North Courtyard had also finished assembling yesterday. Today, they were going to the battlefield.


    After arriving here, Lin Tian directly went to Zhang Feng.


    When he saw Lin Tian, Zhang Feng was slightly stunned. He had originally given Lin Tian four days time to settle Lin Tian''s personal matters, but he had not expected that Lin Tian would return so quickly.


    "Is the matter settled?" Zhang Feng asked.


    "Yes, it''s done. I shouldn''t be late, right?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.


    "No, I came just in time." Zhang Feng looked at Lin Tian and asked: "Do you want to rest for a while?"


    "No need. I''ll just meditate for a moment. When the time comes, just call me." Lin Tian shook his head and then found a spot to sit cross-legged.

 C221

    Not long after, the Northern Courtyard students came to the encampment one after another. They found a place to sit down cross-legged and adjusted their strength to its peak.


    When Fang Xing, Mu Jin''er, and Du Feng arrived at the encampment, they were surprised to see Lin Tian standing in a corner.


    Lin Tian rhythmically breathed in and out. Clearly, he was cultivating to adjust. The three didn''t disturb him.


    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian finally opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of foul air. Another benefit of possessing the Dragon Blood Inheritance was that Lin Tian''s physical strength was extremely abundant. Even his recovery ability was frightening.


    Lin Tian did not need to sleep much. No matter how tired he was, as long as he sat cross-legged and adjusted, he would once again become full of energy.


    Inside the base, Zhang Feng, who had seen everyone''s expression, also had an expression of disbelief.


    His face was filled with shock as he looked at Lin Tian, who was currently brimming with energy. When Lin Tian had arrived, although Lin Tian had tried his best to hide it, Zhang Feng had still seen the exhaustion in Lin Tian''s eyes.


    That was why he asked Lin Tian if he should rest for a while, but was rejected by Lin Tian. At that time, Zhang Feng felt that Lin Tian was barely holding on.


    But he didn''t think that after sitting cross-legged for a while, Lin Tian would actually completely recover. The current him didn''t have any signs of exhaustion.


    This brat was truly curious.


    Zhang Feng sighed as he said loudly, "Students of the North District, listen up!"


    All the students instantly opened their eyes as they quickly stood in a row and looked at Zhang Feng.


    "Nonsense, I won''t say anymore. This time''s demon beast horde has been going on for dozens of days and it hasn''t retreated, so the size of this demon beast horde is definitely not small. In fact, in the next few days, there will be even more terrifying demon beasts that will arrive and launch their final counterattack ¡­" Zhang Feng briefly explained some of the information he had heard from the other instructors yesterday.


    "So, this time, the demon beast horde is going to be very dangerous, and there are already some students who have lost their lives in the East and South Branch, so, you must not force it. We, the Northern Academy, originally had a mission for every student, which means, we must kill many demon beasts in order to pass the mission, but now, we have canceled this requirement. This time, when you go hunting demon beasts, not only me, but the seniors behind me will also do their best to protect you."


    Saying this, Zhang Feng''s face became more and more serious.


    Lin Tian naturally understood the meaning behind Zhang Feng''s words. After all, the overall strength of the Northern Courtyard was not comparable to the other three branch academies, and this year, they were able to recruit some top geniuses. Therefore, the upper echelons of the Northern Courtyard were naturally unwilling to make use of this year''s batch of students to turn the tables, yet they lost their lives in this mission ¡­.


    "Do you understand what I''m saying?" Zhang Feng told the others once again.


    "Understood." The other students felt a chill in their hearts. It was obvious that they were uncertain about this mission.


    "Let''s go!" Zhang Feng led the others directly to the top of the city wall.


    At this moment, a teacher from the Southern Courtyard, together with a student from the Southern Courtyard, had just withdrawn from the city.


    The north, south, east, and west branches of the academy were taking turns to go up on stage. Those demon beasts did not know fatigue and were not afraid of death, but these students were human and needed rest to recover their elemental energy.


    Amongst the students of the Southern Courtyard, Lin Tian saw a familiar person. It was the natural born Zhang Taixu who had been defeated by him during the Clear Sky Preliminaries.


    At this moment, Zhang Taixu''s face was full of fatigue. It was obvious that fighting with the demon beasts had a huge impact on the students.


    Zhang Taixu also saw Lin Tian, but when he saw Lin Tian, there was a trace of fear in his eyes. Obviously, the battle with Lin Tian back then had left a shadow in Zhang Taixu''s heart.


    After all, after his battle with Lin Tian, he had recuperated for half a month before completely recovering.


    Lin Tian had a calm face. At this moment, Zhang Taixu was not his enemy. The demon beasts that were below the city walls was his enemy.


    Zhang Taixu left with the other students of the Southern Courtyard. Gu Yan''er then said with a smile, "Did you see Zhang Taixu''s reaction? Seeing Zhang Taixu''s reaction, I finally understand why you called me that... "


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and then asked: "What is your name?"


    "You don''t know?" Fang Xing looked at Lin Tian''s doubtful expression and asked in disbelief.


    "What are you guys talking about?" Lin Tian was even more doubtful as to what they meant.


    "Looks like you really do not know that you have a formidable title!" Du Feng also said.


    "What''s your name?"


    "Battle demon!" Gu Yan''er smiled faintly.


    It turned out that after Lin Tian defeated three of the inner court experts in the Northern Courtyard, he even said that he would challenge the white-clothed Holy Son Ji Ning to sing a song.


    All the students of the Northern Courtyard gave Lin Tian this nickname in private.


    At the same time, the new students also added fuel to the fire by narrating Lin Tian''s previous glorious achievements in the Clear Sky Trials. The title of wild demon in Lin Tian''s battles was thoroughly confirmed.


    Everyone knew that a new battle maniac called Lin Tian had entered the Northern Courtyard this year.


    This brat was happy with his battle. If he didn''t have a word, he would start fighting. For short, he was called Lin Kuang Devil.


    When Lin Tian heard this name, he was slightly startled, then bitterly smiled. He didn''t think that he would become famous so quickly.


    Moreover, this term seemed to spread from the Northern Courtyard to the other academies.


    As they spoke, they had already arrived at the top of the city wall.


    Looking down from the top of the city wall, one could see the countless number of demonic beasts standing below the city wall. In the sky, countless flying demonic beasts were densely packed in the sky like black clouds pressing down on the city.


    Lin Tian hadn''t seen it clearly before. At this moment, he could see it clearly and was also a bit apprehensive. This time, the monster tide was much more terrifying than the one in the training grounds of the Azure Province headquarters.


    When the crowd stopped, Zhang Feng suddenly shouted, "Students of the North District, live and die with Sky City!"


    All the students looked at the demonic beasts in the sky with vigilance, ready to attack at any moment.


    Zhang Feng was making an oath. For the next period of time, he would wait for the students of the East District to take their place. They would defend this place with their lives. They could not let those demon beasts break through the gate!


    Lin Tian tightly gripped the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. Facing the demonic beasts that blotted out the sky, he actually felt a bit of excitement. Fighting, fighting, Lin Tian''s heart really did yearn to fight.


    Battling was more suitable for Lin Tian than bitter cultivation.


    "Roar!" At this moment, a roar came from a group of beasts.


    In the next moment, the originally quiet demonic beast suddenly became restless.


    Soon after, the winged flying Demonic Beast in the sky suddenly pounced towards the crowd at the top of the city.


    Countless demonic beasts roared as they charged over. The scene was extremely spectacular.


    "Kill, kill, kill!" At the same time, Zhang Feng''s furious roar could be heard from behind him.


    "Kill!" Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear shot out like a dragon. In the next moment, it violently blasted towards the flying demonic beasts that were pouncing towards him.

 C222

    "Pfft!" Lin Tian''s spear pierced through a demon beast''s body. That demon beast''s body suddenly exploded and turned into a rain of blood. It turned into minced meat and scattered under the city wall.


    The demonic beast below the city wall immediately roared and pounced towards the demonic beast that Lin Tian had killed.


    Not long after, they were all finished.


    The rest of the students felt their scalps go numb when they saw this. However, they didn''t have any time to think as they all attacked the demonic beasts that were pouncing towards them.


    Gu Yan''er''s hand constantly formed complicated seals. After the seals appeared, Gu Yan''er''s hand suddenly turned black.


    In the next moment, she gently waved her hand to release the seals.


    At the same time, her voice also sounded towards Du Feng, "Help me!"


    Du Feng immediately understood and shouted loudly, "Wind!"


    In the next moment, waves of wild wind suddenly gushed over. Du Feng controlled the wild wind as he suddenly blew the seals Gu Yan''er had created onto the Demonic Beasts.


    The moment the seals landed on the bodies of the demonic beasts, they exploded.


    It was at this moment that the endless poisonous gas, being carried by the violent wind, rushed towards the flying demonic beasts in the sky.


    When the poison burst out, the demonic beasts felt as if they were drunk. Not only did their flying speed greatly decrease, but their flight path also became crooked.


    Not long after, following the eruption of the poison, those flying Demonic Beasts suddenly fell down.


    Once it fell, the beasts on the ground would naturally rush forward and devour it.


    However, not long after that, the change occurred and devoured the poisoned flying demonic beasts. The demonic beasts on the ground also began to froth at the mouth. Soon, one by one, the demonic beasts fell to the ground.


    But at the same time, it also attracted the attention of more Monstrous Beasts. The other Monstrous Beasts also fiercely pounced forward, wanting to eat the fallen Monstrous Beasts.


    But this way, more and more demon beasts fell, and more and more demon beasts rushed forward and then fell again.


    The speed at which the demonic beasts fell was like a virus as it quickly spread. After an unknown amount of time, all the demonic beasts within a mile radius of the city gate died from the poison. The flying demonic beasts in the sky also spread like viruses due to the spreading poison.


    At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Gu Yan''er.


    No one would have thought that Gu Yan''er was actually this strong. In an instant, with her own strength, Gu Yan''er actually managed to kill hundreds of Demonic Beasts ¡­


    However, he quickly realized that Gu Yan''er was born with a poisonous body, and her entire body possessed a terrifying poison power that had yet to be developed. The last time he chose a martial arts cultivation technique, Lin Tian remembered that Gu Yan''er had chosen a powerful poison scripture.


    Gu Yan''er unleashed her poison powers. Du Feng possessed the body of the Heavenly Dao and could summon wind powers. Thereafter, she could enlarge Gu Yan''er''s poison powers as much as possible before sweeping them towards all the demonic beasts.


    This way, those flying demonic beasts would also be poisoned if they fell and were eaten by the demonic beasts on the ground.


    This cycle created a terrifying scene.


    If this continues, it can be said that Gu Yan''er alone can block this monster tide ¡­


    Lin Tian took a deep breath. Only now did he realize just how terrifying the poison body was, and he also remembered what Horned Demon had said to him at that time.


    "A single Poison Body is comparable to a magnificent army of ten thousand men!"


    I will not bully you!


    Gu Yan''er might not be able to use the strongest poison body technique in the battle, but she was able to completely display the terror of her poison body when she encountered a beast tide.


    He had originally thought that there would be a fight to the death and he had even made preparations for the sacrifice of his students. But now, it seemed that everything was not that difficult, as even allowing Zhang Feng to cause a beast tide in an instant was not such a terrifying thought...


    Gu Yan''er''s move not only stunned all the students, but also those flying demonic beasts. At this moment, those flying demonic beasts were roaring non-stop, but they all stopped in midair, not daring to move forward even though they were far away from Gu Yan''er.


    The demon beasts weren''t stupid.


    However, the next moment, that roar came out from the beast herd again.


    However, the roar this time was slightly different from before.


    In the next moment, something unexpected happened.


    At this moment, the flying demonic beast in the sky actually rapidly retreated.


    Very quickly, those demonic beasts came and retreated like the tide.


    In the next moment, those demonic beasts retreated to an area that was absolutely safe.


    The Demonic Beasts below, who were originally still biting on each other due to the poison, also stopped their actions at this moment. After which, they also retreated like a receding tide.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s gaze was firmly fixed on the monster horde.


    He suddenly understood. That roar just now was the signal given by some powerful demonic beast to make them retreat.


    The howling demon beast should be a commander, or perhaps a leader ¡­


    "Interesting." Lin Tian said in a low voice as his gaze locked onto the location of the roaring demon beast.


    It was very obvious that the group of powerful demonic beasts had completely blocked the demonic beast and had protected it well.


    And also at that moment, the Monstrous Beast actually let out another roar.


    At the same time, a flying python with two wings fiercely charged over.


    All the students on top of the city wall immediately became alert.


    However, that flying python was clearly not heading towards them, but towards those demonic beasts.


    At this moment, the Flying Python violently spat out a blazing flame power from its mouth, as it charged towards the poisoned Demonic Beasts.


    The monstrous flames instantly swept through the demon beasts and they were roasted into ashes by the flames.


    Afterwards, the flying python retreated once more. It did not attack the students on top of the city wall.


    Without the interference of the poisoned beasts, the beast king let out another furious roar.


    In the next moment, those demonic beasts that had retreated earlier once again charged over like crazy tides. The flying demonic beasts in the sky and the demonic beasts running on the ground all crazily rushed over.


    When Lin Tian saw this scene, his gaze also constantly flickered. No one knew what he was thinking about.


    On the other hand, Gu Yan''er was doing the same, wanting to use that move.


    But this time, those demon beasts had become smarter.


    Following the eruption of the poison, a flying demonic beast suddenly flew away and continuously flapped its wings to disperse the poison.


    Even though Gu Yan''er''s poison force was incomparably frightening, it still had to come into contact with her body. Now that it couldn''t come in contact with her body, this move was naturally ineffective ¡­


    "Looks like this Demonic Beast isn''t as foolish as I thought ¡­" Lin Tian sighed with emotion in his heart. For a long time, his gaze fell upon the King of Beasts that was tightly protected by all the monsters ¡­ ¡­


    "If I want to achieve a breakthrough, I will have to spend all my effort on that beast king who gave out the order ¡­" Lin Tian muttered to himself as an idea formed in his heart.

 C223

    This was the so-called shooting first to kill the enemy, to capture the thief first to capture the king.


    Lin Tian''s attention was naturally completely focused on that Beast King when he gave the order just now.


    That beast king was not to be underestimated. Firstly, it was the beast king that issued the command, and these demonic beasts had spared no effort in carrying it out. This was a testament to that beast king''s status.


    The second was the command issued by the Beast King, which was issued at the most critical moment. When Gu Yan''er succeeded in her attack, it did not last long and the Beast King let the Demonic Beasts scatter. In the end, he actually found a way to deal with them and successfully crack Gu Yan''er''s technique.


    From this, one could see that this beast king was very intelligent. It would not be wrong to call him cunning.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er''s method had failed, and everything seemed to have returned to its original point.


    At this moment, those demon beasts were still rushing towards the group of people, one after another.


    Only Gu Yan''er had no demonic beasts in front of her.


    As the city walls were extremely wide, the students were separated by a great distance. Gu Yan''er was unable to reach them, and could not help the other students at all.


    In this way, even if Gu Yan''er had an incredible ability, she would not be able to deal with these Demonic Beasts ¡­


    The sounds of battle rang out, and everything seemed to have returned to the time when they had arrived at the top of the city wall. Gu Yan''er''s astonishing move just now was as though it had never happened.


    Lin Tianlong brandished his Scaled Spear again. At this time, he had utilized the spear technique of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb to the limit.


    Killing with just one move would be enough to kill dozens of demonic beasts.


    As for the illusionary shadows, they could kill more than 100 beasts in an instant.


    The other students also revealed their abilities.


    A while later, a thick pile of Demonic Beast corpses piled up below the city walls. They looked just like a small mountain.


    However, even though it was a killing technique, there were still endless numbers of demon beasts behind it. They were flying in dense numbers and they were like a tidal wave, sending wave after wave of demon beasts.


    It could not be killed, it could not be cut down!


    But just as everyone was killing, Lin Tian once again heard a familiar roar.


    It was that beast king again. It issued another order.


    However, this time''s order was not directed at the flying demonic beasts in the sky, but towards the demonic beasts below the city walls.


    In the next moment, the demonic beasts below the city wall fiercely attacked the city gate.


    One by one, the demon beasts with two horns charged toward the city gate. The next moment, the city gate made of refined steel began to emit "bang bang bang" sounds.


    The city gate trembled intensely. It also caused the people on the city wall to shake.


    Demonic beasts were originally extremely powerful. Now that they had charged into the city gate, it was natural that they would be as terrifying as if they had been crushed like dried weeds.


    At this moment, Zhang Feng suddenly opened his mouth, "I need some students to jump off the city walls to kill those demon beasts. Otherwise, if the demon beasts were to collide, our city gate would be breached soon..."


    The reason why they came to this place was to block the demonic beasts and guard the city gates. Flying demonic beasts could fight on the city walls, but not the demonic beasts that were on their way.


    This was also the reason why there were students dying in battle in the three major academies in the east, south, and north of the city wall. The worst case scenario was that they could still hide for a while, but if they were to continue down the city, then they would only have to fight with their lives on the line. Facing a ferocious beast that was like a tide, even the most powerful expert would have to die from exhaustion.


    Moreover, the number of demonic beasts they would encounter would be far greater if they were to continue down this path.


    Lin Tian waved the Dragon Scale Spear and a spear light flashed out. After directly killing dozens of flying monsters, he said to Zhang Feng: "I''ll go."


    "I''m going too," Fang Xing replied.


    At this moment, Du Feng and Gu Yan''er also agreed: "We''ll go as well."


    When Zhang Feng heard that Gu Yan''er was also going to go, he immediately hesitated. Previously, when he saw Gu Yan''er''s terrifying appearance, Zhang Feng really didn''t want her to take this risk.


    Even when Lin Tian, Du Feng, and Fang Xing said that they wanted to go, Zhang Feng was reluctant.


    These students were the most outstanding students the Northern Courtyard had received in so many years. What if they really did not come back?


    Then when he goes back, how would he explain this to Yang Qingtian?


    But since everyone was looking at him, he naturally couldn''t stop them from going.


    The other students were encouraged by these people. Just as they were about to say that they were willing to leave, Lin Tian said: "Then the four of us, the rest of you don''t need to go. It''s too dangerous down there, we have a way to escape ¡­ ¡­"


    Since he was already dead, Zhang Feng didn''t say anything more.


    The other students also shut their mouths.


    "Du Feng." Lin Tian''s gaze turned towards Du Feng.


    Du Feng immediately understood and with a tap of his finger, a gust of wind formed into a gale. The four of them stood on top of the gale in the next moment. The gale descended rapidly and arrived before the city wall in an instant.


    One after another, the demonic beasts crazily rammed against the city gate.


    In the next moment, those powerful waves of spiritual power turned into sharp thorns that charged towards those beasts.


    In the next moment, the demonic beasts that were leading the charge against the city gates fell. Transparent spikes pierced through their heads as terrifying bloody holes immediately appeared in their heads.


    Gu Yan''er had also unleashed the power of her own poison body. The poison swiftly penetrated through those Demonic Beasts and killed them.


    As for Lin Tian, he put away his Dragon Scale Spear and used his own body.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" Lin Tian used his physical body to collide against the demon beasts. In the next moment, each and every demon beast was suddenly sent flying by Lin Tian and they fell far to the side.


    The four of them landed on the ground and in the blink of an eye, the danger to the city gate was resolved. All the Demonic Beasts had been killed.


    Not only that, the four of them had also intimidated the other demonic beasts with their lightning-like methods. They wanted to continue charging forward.


    Taking this opportunity, Du Feng''s finger once again tapped the ground.


    In the next moment, the ground rumbled and the spikes formed from dirt instantly pierced through the feet of those demon beasts, and then were cut open to die.


    Du Feng possessed the physique of the Heavenly Dao and was able to communicate with all living things, allowing him to utilize all the power between heaven and earth.


    However, Du Feng''s Heaven''s Path Body had yet to fully unleash his potential.


    Right now, he was only proficient in using the power of wind and the power of earth.


    Just now, he had used the power of the earth.


    At the same time, Gu Yan''er waved her hand, sending strands of poison gas scattering in all directions.


    Each displayed their own divine abilities!


    At this moment, the extraordinary and frightening aspects of these heavenly bodies were finally revealed.


    Lin Tian''s gaze was still on the Beast King, but after observing for so long, Lin Tian still hadn''t found a suitable opportunity.


    The beast king was securely protected inside, there was no chance for him to make a move!

 C224

    Although Lin Tian did not find any good opportunities to attack, under the display of several people''s abilities, they were able to solve the problem of the city gate.


    "Find an opportunity and kill that beast king. This beast tide will naturally be resolved." Lin Tian spoke to the others.


    Just now, Fang Xing and the others actually had no intention of coming down. It was Lin Tian who had secretly sent a sound transmission for the three of them to follow him down.


    He had come up with an idea just now, but he didn''t know if it was feasible or not. However, this idea required their cooperation.


    "How do we kill him?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    Currently, the three of them were completely following Lin Tian''s lead. Of course, this was also something they wanted to see.


    However, Lin Tian''s words just now about getting rid of the Beast King made everyone knit their brows. Lin Tian''s words were quite light, and they all knew that if they killed that Beast King, everything would naturally be settled.


    However, that beast king was currently being protected by all of the demonic beasts. Not to mention killing it, even getting close to it would be difficult!


    "You have to help me." Within his mind, an idea slowly formed. However, this thought was still not mature enough, especially since he needed the help of the three of them. This was the most important thing.


    Lin Tian whispered a few words next to the three people''s ears, and their expressions immediately changed greatly.


    "Are you crazy?" Fang Xing stared at Lin Tian in disbelief. He had never thought that Lin Tian would actually come up with such a plan.


    "Aren''t you just going to die?" Du Feng, who had always listened to Lin Tian''s words, shook his head repeatedly. It was obvious that he also thought that Lin Tian''s idea wasn''t too reliable.


    As for Gu Yan''er, she was also looking at Lin Tian in astonishment.


    Clearly, the three of them had been shocked by Lin Tian''s plan.


    "What, you''re scared? This plan is mainly because of me. I''m not scared at all. What are you afraid of?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but say.


    The plan he proposed just now was very simple.


    Since that beast king was protected by so many demonic beasts, it was almost impossible for him to launch an attack.


    Facing the endless tide of demonic beasts, before they could rush to the front of the beast king, they would all be exhausted.


    Thus, he could only act wisely.


    A wise move was to find someone to use as bait and seduce that beast king.


    And this bait was none other than Lin Tian himself.


    Lin Tian had inherited the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon. Although the current bloodline power in his body was not pure, it was enough to seduce this King of Beasts.


    The inherited dragon blood was enough to attract any demon beast.


    That beast king was no exception.


    As for Fang Xing and the other two, what they wanted to do was to delay the other beasts and prevent them from saving the beast king. Lin Tian had absolute confidence that he would be able to kill the beast king alone.


    He had the Divine Beast, Ice Silkworm Baby, and a powerful Earth Fiend Yin Corpse on the stone tablet in the Divine Mansion.


    The attack power of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was comparable to a ninth level Star Realm expert. He had enough spirit stones to support the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and with his own strength, killing a beast king was not difficult.


    "No, this is too much of a risk. If I fail to do it properly, I will die for sure..." Fang Xing shook his head, still having some doubts about Lin Tian''s thoughts.


    "Then, come up with a method that isn''t too risky ¡­" Lin Tian snappily glanced at Fang Xing.


    "This ¡­" Fang Xing was at a loss for words. He couldn''t come up with a good plan, and the only problem was that they had no way to get close to the beast king.


    "I can''t think of anything. If I can''t think of anything, then do as I say." Lin Tian immediately made his decision.


    The three were about to say something when Lin Tian''s figure suddenly exploded forth. In the blink of an eye, he charged into the middle of the herd of beasts.


    "Lin Tian!" The three of them were immediately shocked and shouted at Lin Tian. However, Lin Tian''s body rose and fell a few times before completely disappearing from everyone''s eyes.


    Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps was incomparably fast and in the blink of an eye he disappeared within the herd of beasts.


    At the same time, Fang Xing and his men''s roars had also alerted the crowd on top of the city walls.


    Zhang Feng then saw Lin Tian''s figure. After a few jumps, he disappeared from his sight.


    "What is he doing?" A trace of surprise and doubt flashed across Zhang Feng''s eyes.


    But in the next moment, when he saw Lin Tian''s figure rushing towards him, he immediately understood.


    Beast King!


    This brat''s target was the beast king that was commanding the beast tide.


    "Is this kid crazy? He wants to kill that beast king?" Zhang Feng was extremely shocked inside.


    One had to know that even with his strength, he would not dare to find that beast king.


    This was because in front of a beast king, there were countless number of demonic beasts protecting him.


    It was very possible that before Lin Tian even got in front of the King of Beasts, he would be directly killed by the high level monsters.


    Thinking of this, Zhang Feng became instantly anxious. ''This guy, he''s really too stupid. With his current strength, can he even provoke a beast king?''


    After all, this was the strongest student that the Northern Courtyard had recruited this year. The Freshman Competition that was coming up in the next few days would be all up to this brat. If he were to suffer a loss here, wouldn''t Yang Qingtian have to fight him to the death when he returned?


    Thinking of this, Zhang Feng could no longer remain calm. He directly rushed down the city wall to save Lin Tian.


    However, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded out from the top of the city wall.


    Zhang Feng was stunned. At this moment, his eyes also turned towards the gathering place of the other beasts.


    At that moment, Lin Tian''s spear was advancing forward with a terrifying speed. The beasts that passed by were like decorations for Lin Tian.


    It was as if he had entered a place devoid of people.


    In the next instant, after Lin Tian''s figure swept past like a gale, all the Monstrous Beasts fell in response.


    There was a huge bloody hole between the brows of all the Demonic Beasts ¡­


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Everyone was currently stupefied. They were shocked by Lin Tian''s terror. This level of fighting strength could simply not be described as terrifying. It was simply terrifying.


    Wherever Lin Tian went, he would actually carve out a path of blood formed from a pile of demon beasts ¡­


    At this time, Lin Tian completely displayed all of his strength.


    The Primordial Spirit Thorn and the Divine Punisher Shuttle in the Divine Manor were rapidly being gathered and unleashed one after another.


    An attack of this level of Mental Energy was simply a heavenly tribulation for those Demonic Beasts.


    The Dragon Scale Spear in his hand trembled even more violently as he swept it across the road. All of the demon beasts were killed by Lin Tian in almost an instant.


    The current Lin Tian was like a demonic god that had descended into the mortal world. All of the demon beasts had become ghosts under his spear.


    Of course, the cruel Lin Tian also attracted the attention of all the monsters.


    But a few weak demon beasts, seeing the currently terrifying Lin Tian, hesitated and didn''t dare to charge forward.


    At this moment, some of the powerful Demonic Beasts were also stunned.


    Lin Tian''s methods were too terrifying. All the monsters were unable to even approach his body.


    At the same time, Fang Xing and the others who had been watching from the sidelines were also stunned.


    "This is Lin Tian?" Gu Yan''er rubbed her eyes vigorously.


    "That''s not right, that''s him." Just as Fang Xing was about to say something else, he suddenly changed his mind.


    This was Lin Tian, but this Lin Tian was also a bit more terrifying.


    This was Lin Tian''s true combat strength, his true strength. Only he, who dared to face the tide of thousands upon thousands of horses and demon beasts, forcefully rushed over and wanted to kill that beast king ¡­


    "I finally know why I called him a berserk battle demon. Lin Kuang truly lives up to his reputation!" At this moment, Du Feng also sighed.

 C225

    At this moment, Lin Tian was madly slaughtering those demon beasts. He charged straight through them. Not long after, he entered the inner parts of the demon beast horde.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s own consumption was also extremely terrifying. On the road, Lin Tian almost didn''t have any rest as he bravely rushed forward.


    Fortunately, the whirlpool in his dantian was currently circulating at high speeds. The Origin Energy in his body was being mobilized at a crazy rate to provide Lin Tian San with endless support.


    Lin Tian also needed this type of battle because only this type of battle could thoroughly stimulate his potential.


    "Kill, kill, kill." This was Lin Tian''s only thought.


    After a short moment, Lin Tian abruptly turned towards where Fang Xing''s trio were and roared, "What the f * ck are you waiting for? Attack!"


    Only then did the three of them wake up from their stupor and begin to hunt down and kill the surrounding demonic beasts.


    From the way they saw it, with a battle like Lin Kuang, the plan that Lin Kuang had just mentioned might not be impossible to achieve.


    Thinking of this, the three of them were also full of energy, so they used all of their strength.


    Lin Tian''s angry roar also thoroughly attracted the attention of everyone on the city walls.


    The other students all wanted to be on stimulants as they began to crazily kill the flying demon beasts in the sky in order to reduce the pressure on Lin Tian.


    With such a powerful expert charging in front of them, they were all excited.


    Zhang Feng, who had wanted to save Lin Tian, suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    "This kid, why does he like to surprise others so much?" Seeing Lin Tian''s performance, he suddenly relaxed. Perhaps, this kid didn''t really need someone else''s help.


    However, the current him was faintly looking forward to Lin Tian''s following performance.


    At the same time, in a hidden corner above the Sky City, two figures suddenly appeared.


    "Qing Yuan, you do have a good grandstudent ¡­" An old man said to another old man beside him. His tone was filled with envy.


    "This kid''s potential is limitless, in fact, he has far exceeded my imagination. Honestly speaking, even though he had just passed the eighteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, it still hadn''t shocked me that much. But today, seeing this scene, I feel like, I, Tian Luo, have a great hope of ¡­" Gu Qingyuan softly chuckled. Clearly, he was very satisfied.


    The two people who spoke were none other than the King of Luo and the Principal of the Green Province, Gu Qingyuan.


    On that day, after Gu Qingyuan had finished talking about the Blood Demon Sect, the two of them had arrived at Sky City.


    To be honest, Gu Qingyuan still felt that the sudden increase in the frequency of beast tide in Sky City in the last few decades must have something to do with the Blood Demon Sect.


    That''s for sure.


    That was why the two of them decided to investigate. However, they did not alert anyone. Even the lord of Sky City, Luo Jiang, did not know that this grand character had come to Sky City.


    As he spoke, the king of Tian Luo suddenly seemed to be interested. He smiled and said, "Qing Yuan, why don''t the two of us make a bet?"


    "Hmm?" Gu Qingyuan was slightly startled, as if he didn''t understand what the king meant.


    "I guess you can see what this kid is trying to do?" The king laughed and said.


    Not only did Lin Tian understand this logic, they also understood it. Looking at the direction Lin Tian was heading in and Lin Tian''s movements, it was not hard to guess that Lin Tian wanted to kill the beast king in charge of leading the group for good.


    However, this was extremely difficult.


    Even if he and the king were to fight together, they might not necessarily be able to kill that beast king. After all, there were too many demonic beasts.


    Not only that, there were also countless terrifying greater demons guarding the beast king.


    The difficulty was too high.


    "Let''s make a bet and see if this kid can succeed in the end ¡­" The king continued.


    "Naturally, I want to bet on this brat''s success. After all, he is my grandstudent ¡­" Gu Qingyuan proudly said.


    "Oh, then I have no other choice. I guess that this brat will not succeed..." The king was slightly surprised, surprised by Gu Qingyuan''s reaction.


    Although Gu Qingyuan had said that Lin Tian was his disciple''s grandson, he chose to do so. However, the king knew Gu Qingyuan too well, and Gu Qingyuan''s expression just now was already enough to explain everything. From the bottom of his heart, Gu Qingyuan also thought that Lin Tian would succeed.


    This was something the king had never expected.


    However, Gu Qingyuan didn''t affect the king''s judgement. To be honest, Lin Tian''s thoughts were good, but the difficulty was too high. Although he admired Lin Tian, he didn''t think that Lin Tian would succeed.


    So, he naturally chose Lin Tian to not succeed.


    "What''s the wager?" Gu Qingyuan smiled again.


    "The wager, what do you like? Just say it." The king raised his eyebrows, his interest piqued. The bet, was Gu Qingyuan playing with the real deal?


    "There''s no hurry. We''ll wait for the results. It''s not too late to bet later." Gu Qingyuan shook his head. His eyes flickered as he replied.


    "Sure." The king replied plainly. However, for some reason, the king felt that Gu Qingyuan had a plan in mind ¡­


    Not long after, as the battle on top of the city wall became increasingly intense, they did not notice that the students of the East Branch had already arrived at the top of the city wall.


    In order to relieve the pressure on the students of the various branches, as well as to reduce the casualties and losses.


    The east, west, south, and north divisions were all agreed upon. Each division would hold out for a period of time, and when the next division arrived, they would replace it with the next one.


    There were countless demon beasts, but their manpower was limited. By doing this, they could give all the students as much time as possible to rest and recover their strength.


    Now, it is time for the students of the East Branch to come out ¡­


    However, when the teachers of the East Branch led the students of the East Branch to rush to the top of the city walls, they were completely shocked by what they saw.


    "This is ¡­"


    Just at this moment, a student of the East Branch suddenly pointed at Lin Tian Yi: "Master, it''s Junior Brother Lin Tian!"


    As these words were spoken, everyone''s attention was focused on the bottom of the city wall, where there was a giant vortex of demonic beasts.


    A figure holding an azure long spear quickly fell down one by one. In front of him, a small mountain of corpses of giant demonic beasts formed.


    With each of his attacks, he seemed to be able to kill a Demonic Beast without any hesitation ¡­


    The instructor slightly froze, then immediately became excited: "Heh, it really is that stinking brat Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­"


    If the current Lin Tian was on top of the city wall, he would naturally recognize the teacher and the student that spoke just now. Unfortunately, he wasn''t there.


    Those two people were none other than Lin Tian''s uncle, Ling Tian Lie. As for the student who spoke, he was Ling Tian Lie''s disciple, Ling Wushuang ¡­


    Ling Tianlie was the instructor of the East Branch. This time, he was in charge of leading the East Branch''s students to carry out this mission.


    On the other hand, Ling Wushuang had come with the older students. They were the ones in charge of all the new students.


    At this moment, the new students of the East District also saw Lin Tian. They also saw Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng.


    Especially Wang Tiangang, who had previously been defeated by Lin Tian, now recognized them.


    Wang Tiangang looked at Lin Tian who was currently bravely fighting with his life on the line. For a moment, he could not help but feel a little absent-minded. This, this was the Lin Tian that he had known.


    Why did he feel that this Lin Tian''s strength had become a lot stronger after the departure of Qingzhou City ¡­

 C226

    Seeing the students of the Northern Courtyard working so hard, he did not hesitate and directly said to the new students of the East Branch, "Little bastards, you guys have all seen it. Just look at the students of the North Courtyard and you''ll know that if we don''t work hard and get surpassed by the students of the North Courtyard, it''s not surprising at all.


    "Yes." The students of the East Branch immediately took action. Some of them walked up the city walls, while others directly rushed down the walls. As a result, the students of the North Court immediately felt the pressure and efficiency greatly lessened.


    At the same time, Ling Tianlie also waved at Ling Wushuang: "Go find the people from the West Branch and the South Branch. Let them see the students from the North Branch. Don''t those two old brats feel embarrassed?"


    "Yes." Ling Wushuang did not dare to hesitate and immediately left.


    Lin Tian also felt the support from the outside world.


    To Lin Tian, this support was undoubtedly like coal in the snow.


    After such a long battle, Lin Tian''s consumption of energy was enormous. If he had cultivated the dragon clan''s dantian and had formed the Jindan, the Jindan would have been in his body and would have provided him with endless energy to support himself.


    It wasn''t easy to last until now.


    However, Lin Tian was currently in the front line. He had penetrated by himself and was being blocked by countless demon beasts.


    Right now, he could only move forward and not retreat.


    Every time he took a step forward from where he was, he would see the corpses of demon beasts that were like mountains behind him.


    But Lin Tian did not think too much about it. He firmly continued to move forward.


    He was one step closer to the beast king.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also looked outside. Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng had all spread out to surround Lin Tian.


    That was his goal.


    The might of Gu Yan''er''s poisonous body had now completely displayed a powerful might within the herd of beasts.


    As for Fang Xing, with his innate talisman body strength, he had killed countless monsters without any bloodshed.


    As for Du Feng, the power of his Heavenly Energy Body was more than enough for him to deal with these beasts.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also vigilantly noticed that the Monstrous Beast that the Monster King was on also became a bit restless.


    Lin Tian''s strength brought fear to them, but at the same time it also stirred them up.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s blood boiled. The monstrous blood aura was no longer hidden. The powerful blood aura immediately caused the eyes of the greater demons to light up.


    The pure bloodline power had successfully attracted the attention of the great demons.


    Of course, this would definitely attract the attention of the beast king.


    If that was the case, Lin Tian''s plan had already succeeded in half. No matter who he attracted, it would be fine.


    If those greater demons protecting the King of Beasts were lured over, and Lin Tian was in charge of restraining them, then the three of them would have an opportunity to act.


    If the beast king was attracted, it would be better to come kill Lin Tian. This was what Lin Tian wished for.


    At the same time, Ling Wushuang also called the instructors from the West Branch and the South Branch over.


    Initially, the teachers of the West Branch and the South Court were reluctant to leave. However, when they arrived at the top of the city wall and saw everything that was in front of them, they immediately didn''t say anything unnecessary.


    The next moment, the crowd heard two roars above the city wall, "Look at the Northern Courtyard students. Don''t you feel ashamed? Go on, all of you! Don''t rest until the next wave of beasts attack!"


    "What are you guys still standing there in a daze for? Move out!"


    The students of the Northern Courtyard used their actual actions to infect the teachers and students of the other three courtyards. At this moment, everyone was filled with fighting spirit as they crazily charged towards those monsters ¡­


    Accompanying a large group of experts, they jumped off the city walls and hunted the demon beasts on the ground. This greatly reduced the pressure on Lin Tian and the others.


    However, everyone didn''t understand why Lin Tian''s group of four would go so deep into the demonic beast horde. Right now, the four of them had been blocked by the demonic beast horde. Even if they wanted to come back, they wouldn''t be able to ¡­


    However, Lin Tian did not think of returning. This time, he had to succeed and use everything he had in order to stimulate his potential, Lin Tian had experienced countless life and death situations on the path of martial cultivation since then. Of course, this also greatly sharpened Lin Tian''s heart of martial arts.


    So, in the face of these things once again, Lin Tian was already calm enough.


    "Sizzle..." Just at this time, a demon beast fiercely grabbed Lin Tian''s arm.


    A bright red claw imprint immediately imprinted itself onto Lin Tian''s arm.


    Lin Tian forcefully interrupted the whirlpool of Dantian to heal his injuries. He allowed his wounds to continuously spill blood.


    This was Lin Tian''s goal.


    Drops of blood flowed down from Lin Tian''s arm. However, this way, it also thoroughly stimulated the demon beasts.


    At this moment, when they smelled the stench of blood on Lin Tian''s body, all of the demon beasts became even fiercer.


    One by one, they crazily charged at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not show any fear as his gaze landed on the beast king position.


    "Bastard, you don''t even want to come out and have a taste after smelling such a fragrant aroma? I am the most delicious food for all of you beasts right ¡­" Lin Tian laughed in a low voice.


    The blood was still flowing non-stop. Lin Tian clearly saw that the monsters that were originally protecting the King of Beasts had already begun to stir.


    Their eyes were filled with bloodthirst and endless malice ¡­


    "Come on, come on. You all must have been impatient for quite some time. I am right in front of you all. Come on, why are you all afraid?" Lin Tian continued to tease those demon beasts. He even intentionally opened his wound wider. The fragrance of his blood instantly spread in front of those greater demons.


    However, at this moment, the protected beast king suddenly let out a low roar. This low roar instantly stunned all the demon beasts.


    All the demonic beasts that were just about to make a move were now well-behaved and didn''t dare to look at Lin Tian again.


    "I have underestimated that beast. Looks like a beast that can become a beast king is indeed not an ordinary beast ¡­" Lin Tian sighed in a low voice and then suddenly laughed.


    However, this also proved that the temptation was not big enough.


    Lin Tian relaxed his defense once again. With a ''swoosh'', another demon beast abruptly grabbed onto another of Lin Tian''s arms.


    That arm had once again been scratched, and blood and wounds had once again erupted forth.


    This time, a few drops of blood flew out from Lin Tian''s wound and fell into the nearby Monstrous Beasts'' mouths.


    Those demon beasts immediately became excited.


    "Swish, swish." The wounds on Lin Tian''s body suddenly increased.


    Streams of bright red blood immediately soaked Lin Tian''s clothes.


    Lin Tian''s physical strength was incomparably strong. If he did not relax his defense, it was naturally impossible for him to be injured by those beasts ¡­


    At this moment, having relaxed his defense, he immediately scratched and injured those beasts ¡­


    "This kid, what''s going on?" At this moment, Zhang Feng, who was standing on top of the city wall, suddenly exclaimed.


    He naturally saw Lin Tian''s current situation.

 C227

    Right now, the blood-soaked Lin Tian naturally scared Zhang Feng.


    At this moment, Zhang Feng was still thinking that Lin Tian had used too much strength just now and was now exhausted, thus he was injured by those demon beasts. Therefore, Zhang Feng became somewhat anxious at this moment.


    At the same time, Tian Luo Kingdom''s King and Gu Qing Yuan, who were watching the battle closely, were also surprised when they saw the current situation.


    The distance was too far, so they couldn''t see too clearly. They could only see that Lin Tian''s body was hanging with colors, and his injuries were on the verge of worsening.


    At this time, the Tian Luo Emperor looked at Gu Qing Yuan and laughed: "Qing Yuan, it seems that your disciple will not be able to hold on ¡­ ¡­"


    "It is too early to come to a conclusion now ¡­" Gu Qingyuan''s eyes flickered before he replied without a care.


    However, as the person who had watched Lin Tian grow up, Gu Qing Yuan naturally knew that Lin Tian''s trump card was not limited to just this. It should be known that back then, when the kid was in the training field, he still had a strong demon beast baby, that demon beast baby. That demon beast baby was an existence that could swallow heavenly thunder, but Lin Tian still had not taken it out yet.


    Thinking about it like that, Lin Tian should still be holding back. As for why Lin Tian let those monsters hurt him, Gu Qingyuan didn''t dare to say. He only felt that Lin Tian should have some other methods.


    When the king of Tian Luo heard Gu Yuan''s words, he did not retort and only smiled. He understood Gu Qing Yuan very well. Before the final result was out, Gu Qing Yuan would not admit defeat.


    Then, he decided to wait patiently for the final result. From his point of view, Lin Tian could not hold on for too long ¡­


    At this moment, Ling Tianlie, as well as the teachers from the West Branch and the South Branch were also all focused on Lin Tian.


    Ling Tianlie was even as anxious as Zhang Feng. He even wanted to rush down to save him.


    However, just when Zhang Feng and Ling Tianlie were about to make their moves, something strange happened in the audience.


    Lin Tian''s entire body was currently covered in blood, making him look extremely terrifying.


    The surrounding Demonic Beasts all pounced towards Lin Tian like madmen, because the blood on Lin Tian''s body was simply poison, causing those Demonic Beasts to be poisoned ¡­ ¡­


    With this, the Demonic Beasts that were originally being roared at by the Beast King and did not dare to make a move, once again turned their gazes towards Lin Tian.


    To them, the smell of blood was too tasty. Those greater demons were naturally able to determine that Lin Tian''s blood was simply a treasure trove. If they could eat Lin Tian, the power of their bloodline would definitely increase greatly.


    Even though there were beast kings present, forcefully stopping them from moving about freely, they were unable to control themselves from eating such delicious food.


    Even the beast king couldn''t control himself.


    In the next moment, the beast king let out another roar.


    However, this time, it was probably not scolding, but encouraging.


    When the surrounding greater demons heard the roar of the King of Beasts, they immediately became excited. In the next moment, all the greater demons that were originally protecting the King of Beasts suddenly roared and pounced towards Lin Tian.


    "The chance has come!" Lin Tian Deng became excited.


    This was his goal. It was better for him to be able to attract a beast king than a beast king, and it was the same for the other greater demons beside the beast king.


    The bodies of the greater demons were incomparably large. At this moment, they fiercely rushed towards Lin Tian, immediately shaking the earth and releasing rumbling sounds.


    "Done!" At the same time, around the Beast King, Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng all suddenly raised their heads.


    They could clearly see the scene from earlier. The great demons had actually escaped from the side of that beast king.


    This was almost no different from Lin Tian''s prediction just now.


    Lin Tian''s plan had already had its initial effect.


    "Kill!" All three of them were immediately enlivened.


    Mu Jin''er''s hands constantly formed complex hand seals. The might of her poison body once again erupted.


    In the blink of an eye, monstrous poisonous energy violently rushed towards the surrounding demonic beasts. The scene from before had happened once again.


    After Gu Yan''er had detonated the poison force, all the Demonic Beasts in front of her successively fell down. After that, they foamed at the mouth and did not get up again.


    Before long, there was a path in front of Gu Yan''er. The demonic beast corpses paved a path for Gu Yan''er.


    Gu Yan''er did not hesitate and continued to emit poisonous energy from her body. Along the way, any demonic beast that tried to get close to her would be poisoned to death by the poison.


    Fang Xing''s innate talisman body displayed its might once more, and the thorns formed from his Spirit power charged towards the demonic beast like a tornado.


    In the next moment, a small bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows of those Demonic Beasts. Then, they fell down in response to the sound.


    Du Feng controlled the wind power and earth power. The wind power formed wind thorns, and the earth power turned the soil under the ground into weapons, turning them into sharp thorns. They all charged towards those demon beasts.


    The three of them rapidly advanced through the three paths formed by the corpses of the demonic beasts.


    Currently, in front of the King of Beasts, there were still some greater demons that had yet to take action. The greater demons that had charged towards Lin Tian were only a portion of them. The majority of the remaining greater demons were currently still surrounding the King of Beasts.


    At this moment, as they faced the humans that were split into three groups, those greater demons were somewhat anxious. Their eyes revealed a murderous glint, as if they could attack at any time.


    Facing the greater demons that were charging at him one by one, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth hooked up into a strange arc. In the next moment, a monstrous blood qi abruptly rushed out from above his head, the whirlpool in his Dantian quickly revolved, and Lin Tian''s body that was originally injured by the demon beasts, now quickly began to heal, scab, and then transform into old skin that shed off, regrowing back into a skin that was like white jade.


    At the same time, threads of mental power fiercely sprayed out from his Divine Palace.


    Spiritual energy instantly condensed into a God-Slaying Shuttle. One after another, shuttle shaped spikes crazily charged towards the greater demons. At the same time, Lin Tian''s God Transforming Steps moved and actually charged towards the greater demons.


    Lin Tian''s body was like iron as he used his physical body to smash towards the greater demons.


    The power of the God-Slaying Shuttle pierced through the head of a Greater Demon in the lead. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body also fiercely crashed into the body of the demon beast.


    That demon beast didn''t even have time to scream and was directly sent flying by Lin Tian. In the air, the demon beast was directly broken into pieces and fell onto the ground.


    This method caused the greater demon that was charging towards Lin Tian to tremble slightly. The speed under his feet was also filled quite a bit. At the end, there were even a few greater demons that directly stopped their steps and started to watch.


    But Lin Tian did not stop his footsteps.


    "Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Kill!" The moment the spear shot out, his body moved. A cold glint appeared on the tip of the spear. In the next moment, it pierced through the head of another great demon.


    The head of that greater demon directly exploded, transforming into a brilliant flower of blood.


    Lin Tian had already mastered the first move of the Kill. Now, he had comprehended it to the Mastery Stage.

 C228

    Lin Tian charged towards the greater demons as if he was chopping up melons and vegetables.


    Lin Tian had used all of his methods. Within a short period of time, he had already killed dozens of peak level greater demons.


    The strength of these greater demons were all Rank 3 Demonic Beasts, comparable to Aurous Core stage cultivators. They all had the strength of a few greater demons, and were even around the eighth level of the Golden Core Stage.


    But in Lin Tian''s eyes, all of this wasn''t a matter at all.


    Even with his physical body, Lin Tian felt that there shouldn''t be much of a problem when fighting those demon beasts head on.


    The strength of his fleshly body was enough to blast apart these demon beasts!


    Not long after, Lin Tian killed all the greater demons that wanted to pounce at him.


    At this moment, he was only a few dozen steps away from the location of the beast king.


    But right now, if he wanted to take another step forward, it would be even more difficult because the demon beasts were blocking the way and couldn''t be killed completely. Lin Tian killed dozens of demon beasts with a single spear, but very quickly, the demon beasts behind him added on.


    Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng had also encountered similar situations.


    Lin Tian also began to feel somewhat impatient in his heart.


    These demon beasts were easy to kill, but there were too many to kill.


    If the beast kings didn''t die, these demonic beasts would continue to attack them. The danger of the demonic beast horde was still not resolved.


    Just as Lin Tian was considering whether to release the Ice Worm baby or Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, Gu Yan''er''s voice suddenly came from not far away: "Du Feng, help me!"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. After which, he looked towards a spot not far away, the current Gu Yan''er suddenly leaped up and violently spat out a mouthful of blood. The difference between her and the others was that Gu Yan''er''s blood was dark green, looking extremely terrifying.


    At this moment, she waved her hands and quickly drew a seal on the black blood she had spat out.


    At this moment, a layer of dense sweat had already started to form on Gu Yan''er''s forehead. However, the movement of her arm was getting faster and faster, faster and faster. Not long later, a huge black imprint was formed by Gu Yan''er.


    However, after completing all of this, Gu Yan''er''s face was already pale and pale. Her face was terrifyingly pale. Evidently, the seal she had created had already exhausted all of her strength.


    "Poison King''s Seal!" The next moment, Gu Yan''er spoke softly.


    The imprint instantly spread out and turned into four black poisonous gases, quickly spreading out along the path that Lin Tian, Fang Xing, Du Feng and her had taken.


    At the same time, Du Feng also summoned an endless amount of wind power. As the wind power brushed against the black qi, it actually caused it to suddenly grow larger.


    The endless black fog swiftly swept towards all the Demonic Beasts.


    The instant the terrifying black Qi swept across the area, all the Demonic Beasts actually fell to the ground in an instant. All of them spat out white foam from their mouths and died.


    This was the power of the Poison Body!


    Lin Tian, Fang Xing, and Du Feng all quickly held their breaths. Their bodies rippled with a protective layer of energy that firmly wrapped around them, preventing the black Qi from corroding their bodies.


    At this moment, the black gas continued to spread and all of the demonic beasts were like a tide as they fell down, looking extremely terrifying.


    The might of the poison body was indeed comparable to a magnificent army of thousands.


    Just this move by Gu Yan''er was enough to completely strangle almost half of the demon beasts in this demon beast horde!


    Everyone was stunned, including the professors from the north, south, east, and west academies, the older students, and the new students who were currently fighting with the demon beasts.


    Even Gu Qing Yuan and Tian Luo Kingdom''s King were staring intently at Gu Yan''er at this moment.


    After a long while, the king of Tian Luo took a deep breath and said, "This little girl with the poison body is the biggest gain I''ve gotten from this trip ¡­"


    Gu Qingyuan also nodded his head. After which, he said, "This is the disciple of that old man Xing Jue. From the looks of it, she should have already trained in the Poison Scripture ¡­"


    Lin Tian naturally did not know how many people were discussing Gu Yan''er''s attack. He only knew that Gu Yan''er''s attack had helped Lin Tian.


    The demon beasts that were originally blocking in front of Lin Tian immediately died.


    And at the location of the beast king, all the greater demons were flapping their wings to help the beast king dissipate the black poison gas.


    However, there was a price that needed to be paid for Gu Yan''er to use this move.


    The price was that her body was on the verge of collapse.


    Lin Tian did not think about anything else as his figure quickly rushed towards Gu Yan''er. He knew that Gu Yan''er was currently in a very bad state and that any demon beast could kill Gu Yan''er right now.


    Hence, right now, Gu Yan''er was very important.


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian arrived in front of Gu Yan''er and hugged her who was about to faint.


    "How are you?" Lin Tian asked with concern.


    "I''m a bit exhausted. The consumption of the Poison King''s Seal is too great. I can''t take it ¡­" Gu Yan''er said in an intermittent manner.


    "Come." Lin Tian directly bit his middle finger. A stream of bright red blood immediately dripped out and fell into Gu Yan''er''s mouth.


    "Du Feng, Fang Xing, follow our previous plans!" Lin Tian roared at Fang Xing and Du Feng, who were still in a daze.


    Fang Xing and Du Feng acted as if they had just awoken from a dream and quickly began to move.


    At the same time, Lin Tian did not stay idle as he crazily rushed towards the city walls.


    Gu Yan''er was forcefully thrown up before roaring at Zhang Feng, "Teacher Zhang, please take care of her ¡­"


    Finished speaking, Lin Tian once again returned on the same path.


    Zhang Feng and Fang Xing were already battling with the greater demons.


    In front of the King of Beasts, there were over a hundred greater demons guarding him. Just now, Lin Tian had killed dozens of them.


    However, after Zhang Feng and Fang Xing''s fierce battle, the number of Greater Demons had decreased significantly in just a blink of an eye.


    Now that Lin Tian had returned, he no longer had any scruples and immediately began to crazily kill the greater demons.


    Originally, Lin Tian thought he could lure it out, but he never thought that from beginning to end, this Beast King never came out. Just now, even if Lin Tian''s blood essence attracted it, it never showed itself, and instead let the greater demons around it help him.


    However, those greater demons were all killed by Lin Tian.


    However, this way, the beast king wouldn''t appear again. At this moment, the beast king was still surrounded by many great demons, and was being protected well by them.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian didn''t think too much and thinking about it now was useless. What use was Intelligence? It was already useless. Right now he could only forcefully attack.


    Killing these troublesome demons and then beheading the Beast King would naturally solve all the problems.

 C229

    Just as Lin Tian was desperately fighting with that greater demon, at this moment, not far from Sky City, in an extremely secretive place, groups of figures suddenly appeared.


    Among the crowd, there was a man holding a bone flute who was currently paying close attention to the situation on the stage.


    At this moment, the surrounding people were all dressed in black, making them look extremely strange.


    Everyone else stared fixedly at the few Diremonsters who were currently battling against the Diremonsters.


    After looking for a long time, a black cloaked man finally could not endure it any longer. He spoke to the man holding the bone flute, "Young master, should we make a move?"


    "No need, it''s still early. Isn''t it a pity to make such a move? Besides, did you see that woman just now?" The man holding the bone flute revealed a charming smile.


    If such an existence can be used by us, then wouldn''t our Glory Sect be able to accomplish something big? There are also a few students who are fighting against the greater demons, and they are all one-in-a-million geniuses, if they are refined into Blood Puppets, then our Glory Sect would be equivalent to possessing so many genius Blood Puppets. Sooner or later, such an existence will become a supreme expert, and I can already smell the fragrance coming off that student''s body. The Bone Flute Young Master pointed at Lin Tian and then said to everyone.


    Here, he could even feel the incomparably powerful blood qi from Lin Tian''s body. His sensitivity towards blood qi was extremely terrifying.


    From such a long distance, he could already tell that the blood qi on Lin Tian''s body was incomparably attracting to him.


    However, he managed to hold it in. It was still too early to make a move now, as he had already prepared for so long. To suddenly attack now, this was a little too much of a shock ¡­


    At this moment, Lin Tian, Fang Xing, and Du Feng, who were fighting against the greater demons, were completely oblivious to the existence of these people in the outside world.


    Seeing that the number of greater demons was rapidly decreasing, everyone was in high spirits. The number of greater demons that were originally protecting the King of Beasts numbered in the hundreds.


    However, the number had been reduced to more than a dozen now.


    Lin Tian used all of his cards and trump cards.


    Heavenly Dragon''s Burial, flesh power, rune skills, other than the Ice Worm, he did not bring them out, nor did the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse use them.


    Lin Tian used his full strength.


    Of course, this was also what Lin Tian wanted. If he used the Ice Silkworm Baby, the battle would quickly be resolved, but there would also be losses. In the current situation of the Ice Silkworm Baby, it was not appropriate to use it too often.


    But if Lin Tian forcefully forced the Ice Silkworm Baby to take action, it would interrupt the Ice Silkworm Baby''s cultivation state. To the Ice Silkworm Baby, on the contrary, it would be a type of damage.


    As for the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, it wasn''t that Lin Tian didn''t want to use it, it was because he couldn''t afford it.


    He now knew that his current cultivation already required endless spirit stone resources, but once the Earth Fiend corpse made a move, it would also require an incomparable amount of spirit stone resources.


    The spirit stone resources that Lin Tian had just obtained, even if he used them on the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, he could only use them a few times at most.


    Furthermore, he wouldn''t be able to deal with that beast king.


    If that was the case, why would he waste those spirit stones?


    Fighting with demon beasts was already able to continuously stimulate Lin Tian''s potential. Lin Tian''s body''s condition and cultivation path determined that Lin Tian''s body was destined to be a masochist. He crazily cultivated and crazily battled.


    From this point of view, the Battle Mage title was the most suitable description for Lin Tian.


    "Sky Dragon Burial, Remnant Shadow!" The spear shadows that filled the air once more slaughtered another group of Diremonsters.


    At this moment, the figure of the Beast King finally appeared.


    Lin Tian Yun''s God Transforming Steps had reached its maximum speed. This time, he finally reached the Beast King''s side.


    At this time, Lin Tian also clearly saw the Beast King''s appearance.


    However, when he saw the Beast King, Lin Tian''s gaze immediately froze.


    "This, this is the beast king that commanded all the demonic beasts, the one that triggered this huge beast tide?" Lin Tian looked at a silver demon fox that was less than one percent of the size of those greater demons. His heart was filled with disbelief.


    At this time, the King of Beasts''s crafty eyes looked at Lin Tian. Without waiting for Lin Tian to come back to his senses, the King of Beasts immediately disappeared.


    In the next moment, the figure of the demon fox dashed into the distance.


    "This beast is really fast ¡­" Lin Tian immediately reacted. At the same time, his figure also disappeared from where he stood.


    The speed of the God Transforming Steps was not much inferior to the demon fox''s. With his current full speed, Lin Tian was not left behind by the demon fox. With his naked eye, he could see the demon fox''s back.


    Lin Tian''s speed was once again displayed to the extreme. On the way, the distance between him and the demon fox was getting closer and closer.


    This sudden change caused everyone else to be stunned.


    After killing the great demon in front of him, Fang Xing only saw the backs of the demon fox and Lin Tian. Other than that, he didn''t see anything else.


    Du Feng and Fang Xing''s situation was similar. After killing the Diremonster in front of them, they only saw Lin Tian''s back disappearing into the distance, not the Monster King''s figure.


    At the same time, without the presence of the King of Beasts, the other demonic beasts were immediately thrown into chaos.


    Each and every one of them was like headless flies, flying about randomly.


    "The chance is here ¡­" At this moment, the teachers from the north, south, east, and west branches of the city wall suddenly realized the arrival of this opportunity.


    None of them could have imagined that Lin Tian actually did it. He really drove away the King of Beasts and now, Lin Tian was even tracking the King of Beasts.


    However, now that the beast king was no longer around, the remaining demonic beasts were naturally in his pockets.


    In the next moment, the instructors from the four branch academies began to frantically move.


    All of the students, with the exception of a small portion of the students who were left on top of the city walls to deal with those flying Demonic Beasts, had gathered at the city gates and started their slaughter.


    Fighting with demon beasts was the best way to train these new students.


    This time, the opportunity was even harder to come by.


    All the students revealed their abilities and began to hunt those demon beasts crazily.


    One must know that these Demonic Beasts all had contribution points. Every time one was killed, the corresponding amount of contribution points would be automatically recorded on the identity token.


    And contribution points, in the Azure Province Academy, were hard currency, meaning that there was an endless amount of resources ¡­


    The excitement of the students completely exploded. The crisis of the beast tide had become the best opportunity to train the new students.


    According to this hunting speed, it wouldn''t be long before the danger to the beast tide would be resolved.


    From the beast tide from three days ago until now, it had only taken three days to solve the Sky City''s beast tide crisis. This speed was unprecedented in history.


    What was even more terrifying was that today was the first day the Northern Academy students participated in the beast tide mission.


    From today onwards, the situation had drastically changed. Especially Lin Tian, and the few talented students he had led. They were the key to the end of the Beast Upheaval this time.


    At this time, Zhang Feng''s heart was excited, but he was also a bit worried about Lin Tian, who had gone to chase after the Beast King.


    Lin Tian''s strength had been thoroughly verified in this beast tide. He absolutely had the qualifications to be ranked 83rd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­


    No, it was already the seventy-seventh.


    However, even if Lin Tian had this kind of strength, he was still the King of Beasts that caused this time''s beast tide.


    Could Lin Tian''s strength handle that Beast King?

 C230

    "Looks like this time, I might be able to win ¡­" At this moment, in the dark corner of Sky City, Gu Qingyuan looked at the situation that had suddenly turned around and revealed a smile.


    "Oh?" The king''s gaze flickered slightly before he said, "I''ve indeed underestimated that brat."


    "However." After admitting it, the king changed the topic again, "However, I will still use your words to say it. It seems a little too early to say we win ¡­"


    "Aren''t you being shameless?" Gu Qingyuan was slightly startled before he replied.


    "You''re lying, I''m lying, Jun Wu Yi, this kid still hasn''t completed the bet we made earlier?" The king asked curiously.


    "This kid practically relied on his own strength to drive away the King of Beasts, averting the danger of the beast tide ¡­" Gu Qingyuan was speechless.


    "Hmm?" The king was startled, and then asked again, "Was this our bet just now?"


    "What do you mean?" Gu Qingyuan, on the other hand, was stumped by the king''s question.


    "Looks like we didn''t make the bet clear just now. What I mean is, let''s see if this kid can kill that beast king ¡­" The king said without a hint of shame.


    "Alright, even if you win, you win in shamelessness ¡­" Gu Qingyuan was startled for a moment before he helplessly replied.


    The king''s words were true.


    They had been tacit in their hearts just now and the bet hadn''t been made clear. What they had said just now was whether or not Lin Tian could complete their thoughts.


    Right now, Lin Tian was very clear that he had already completed it. Lin Tian''s inner thoughts were naturally to kill that beast king and directly resolve the beast tide crisis.


    Although they hadn''t killed the beast king yet, the result was still the same. Even if they hadn''t managed to kill the beast king by now, the consequences would have been the same.


    However, since the king had said so, Gu Qingyuan couldn''t find any words to refute.


    But that didn''t affect anything. Gu Qingyuan was full of confidence in Lin Tian because he knew that Lin Tian still had other methods that he hadn''t used yet.


    Everything that Lin Tian had displayed just now was still far from Lin Tian''s limit.


    Lin Tian could be even stronger. He had even more powerful trump cards and stronger methods!


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan''s competitive spirit had been ignited. He turned to the king and said, "Since that''s the case, let''s see if that boy can catch up with that beast king and kill him ¡­"


    "Alright, that''s what I was thinking." The king faintly smiled before speaking to Gu Qingyuan.


    "Come, get ready, we are going to fight. Smelling his bloody scent, I can''t help myself anymore. I''ve decided, if I catch this brat, I will definitely taste his blood first ¡­" At this moment, not far from Sky City, the bone flute young master licked his lips and said to the group of black cloaked men behind him.


    "Alright." The black-robed men all nodded.


    Earlier, the reason why the King Beast suddenly fled and didn''t even attack Lin Tian was to directly rush towards them. The reason was naturally very simple, it was because the bone flute young master had blown a bone flute.


    The beast tide this time was controlled by this Young Master Gu Di, and the beast tide before was all related to him.


    Just a moment ago, just as Lin Tian was about to charge in front of the Monster Fox Beast King, the sound of the bone flute immediately controlled the Monster King and made it rush towards this place.


    After all, they were all here. Moreover, a killing formation had already been set up here.


    Lin Tian didn''t notice the danger getting closer and closer to him. He only knew that he was getting closer and closer to the demon fox.


    The speed of the demon fox was definitely the fastest demon beast Lin Tian had ever seen.


    However, at that moment, Lin Tian suddenly felt that the speed of the demon fox had started to slow down.


    Lin Tian felt that something was off, but he didn''t think too much about it.


    He had to obtain this demon fox.


    Because the instant the demon fox appeared, Lin Tian felt the Ice Silkworm on his left hand suddenly jump. This was the sign of the Ice Silkworm''s excitement.


    Lin Tian and that Ice Silkworm baby were born with a trace of a unique connection.


    Thus, Lin Tian was able to feel what the Ice Worm baby wanted and what it didn''t want at all.


    The demon fox beast king in front of him was something that the ice silkworm baby wanted.


    What the Ice Worm baby wanted was what Lin Tian had to get.


    "Faster, faster!" Lin Tian kept shouting in his heart.


    The God Transforming Steps had already been completely used by Lin Tian. Currently, Lin Tian''s body was practically like a stream of light.


    "Closer. Closer." Lin Tian''s heart violently shook. In the next moment, just as the Dragon Scale Spear was about to be unsheathed, the demon fox suddenly turned around and blinked at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat: "This ¡­."


    He suddenly felt that something was amiss. That Demon Fox Beast King seemed to have already reached the Awakening Realm ¡­


    It actually winked at Lin Tian, moreover, the crafty smile on the corner of its mouth had a deeper meaning. That feeling, was as if all that Lin Tian did was part of its plan, step by step, it followed according to the demon fox''s plan ¡­ ¡­


    "This is bad!" Right at this time, Lin Tian suddenly felt his head grow a little dizzy.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness under his eyelids. His tiredness made Lin Tian almost want to lie down and have a good night''s sleep ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian resisted the sudden tiredness like it was coming, but no matter how Lin Tian resisted, that tiredness followed him like a shadow.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit powerless.


    But in the next moment, the Primordial Dragon Rune within his Divine Manor seemed to have given him an early warning as it felt the changes to Lin Tian''s body.


    After which, the Ancient Dragon Symbol started to emit light. Rays of light crazily flowed and completely enveloped Lin Tian''s soul.


    With these movements, Lin Tian Deng felt his tiredness being immediately dispersed.


    Lin Tian woke up for a moment, and at this moment, he saw that the demon fox had actually returned and was about to rush in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian warned in his heart, but he still pretended to be lost. His eyelids constantly twitched, as if he could lose consciousness at any time and fall to the ground.


    The smile on the Demon Fox''s mouth became more and more obvious. It was just that Lin Tian could clearly see that the Demon Fox''s smile more or less had some ridicule ¡­


    "Bastard, you''ve been tricked before?" The joy in Lin Tian''s heart flashed once before disappearing.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body immediately fell onto the ground.


    "Well done!" Right at this time, footsteps suddenly sounded out next to Lin Tian''s ears. At the same time, there was a man''s voice. That man was obviously not speaking to Lin Tian, and was naturally speaking to the Monster Fox Beast King.


    That''s strange. There was actually someone controlling the demonic beast from behind?


    In that case, someone must have done it on purpose this time?


    Just who was it?


    In Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, the power of the soul immediately scattered away like tentacles. It was also because of this that the already "unconscious" Lin Tian "saw" everything "before his eyes.


    The black-robed man?


    The moment Lin Tian saw the black robed person, he was somewhat surprised.


    The leader was a young master, in his hand was a bone flute. That young master was no exception, he was also wearing a black robe, just that he was slightly different from the person behind him. The only difference was, on that young master''s neck, there was a golden thread imprinted on the black robe on his body ¡­


    When it saw the bone flute young master, that demon fox immediately pounced towards him.


    The young master carried the demon fox into his embrace and laughed, "It''s really a delicacy. I can''t wait to enjoy it, but I have to slowly enjoy the good stuff. Take it away ¡­"

 C231

    After the young master gave his orders, two or three black robed people immediately walked over and lifted Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian felt the strength of these people. The strength of these black robed people weren''t too high, they were only around the third level of the Aurous Core stage.


    With Lin Tian''s current combat strength, dealing with them was not a problem.


    The bone flute young master''s strength was slightly more tyrannical and he was only around the eighth level of the Golden Core Stage.


    Facing him, it was possible to kill him, but it wasn''t impossible, however, what was strange was that while Lin Tian was using the power of his soul to investigate the Bone Flute Young Master, Lin Tian always had a feeling that this Bone Flute Young Master seemed to have a type of aura that was said on his body. That kind of aura was very strange, making Lin Tian''s heart become vigilant, but at the same time, it was also filled with disgust.


    That''s right, it was disgust, as if Lin TianAo had always disliked the aura from that Young Master Bone Flute.


    However, Lin Tian still didn''t dare act rashly because, firstly, he wasn''t sure of the identities of these people, and secondly, he had just experienced a huge battle. Currently, his consumption was quite large, so he still needed to take this opportunity to recover the soul force that he had just consumed.


    He did not make a sudden move, but rather allowed the person in black robes to carry him as he walked forward.


    Gu Qingyuan and the king who had just arrived just happened to see this scene.


    A trace of anger appeared on Gu Qingyuan''s face. "Indeed, this group of bastards from the Blood Devil Sect did it!"


    At this moment, the king''s face had also darkened. Blood Demon Sect had indeed regained their former glory ¡­


    A thousand years ago, the Blood Demon Sect was the overlord of the Western Spirit Region.


    In front of the Blood Demon Sect back in the day, the six Saint sects of the Western Spirit Region were nothing more than shrimps.


    In the final analysis, the reason Blood Demon Sect was powerful was because of the Blood Demon Sect''s cultivation method. Blood Demon Sect''s cultivation method was incredibly terrifying. They sacrificed lives to increase their own strength, using the blood of living people.


    Back then, the Blood Demon Sect had killed countless geniuses from the Western Spirit Realm and slaughtered civilians.


    Later on, it was said that the Blood Demon Sect refined their sect''s most precious treasure, the endless blood river. However, they sacrificed their lives for thousands of kingdoms and massacred billions of people.


    However, in the Western Spirit Region, humans were not as good as dogs. There were piles of bones everywhere, and countless people had died.


    In the end, the blood of these geniuses and commoners gathered to form an endless river of blood, forming countless experts of the Blood Demon Sect.


    In addition, the most terrifying thing about the Blood Demon Sect was that it was used to refine blood puppets.


    Blood Puppet was another method used by the Blood Demon Sect. The so-called Blood Puppet was to refine strangers into puppets, sucking up their blood essence, and using their flesh bodies to temper them.


    Back then, the ambitions of the Blood Demon Sect wasn''t limited to just the Western Spiritual Realm. They wanted to fight for supremacy, and the entire Sky Dragon Continent was the one they fought for.


    However, it was precisely this ambition that caused all the other forces in the Spirit Realm to be extremely frightened. In addition to the fact that the blood sacrifice had happened so fast, the entire upper echelons of the Zhen Wu Jie were greatly shaken.


    The higher ups of the True Martial World had joined forces with the top forces of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the great demons of the Demon Spirit Realm. Many of the top masters had gathered here in unison.


    It took many years of war to finally wipe out Blood Demon Sect. However, the top sects of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the demons of the Demon Spirit Realm also paid a heavy price ¡­


    Later on, in order to eliminate any future troubles, the forces that had been in charge of exterminating Blood Demon Sect burned all of their secret arts, precious manuals, secret manuals, and even Blood Puppets that had yet to be fully refined. Their goal was to prevent Blood Demon Sect from igniting anew.


    It was also at that time that the six sects had helped them to develop and expand.


    The six ordinary sects were now the hegemons of the Western Spiritual Realm, the Six Great Sacred Sects.


    They were one, two palaces, and three great sects.


    In other words, the Jadeite Sacred Valley, the Eternal Spring Sacred Palace, the Sword Saint Palace, the Soaring Cloud Sacred Sect, the Star Sea Sect, and the Profound Heaven Sacred Sect.


    The six great sects were developing and divided into their own kingdoms. Each sect had countless kingdoms under them.


    Tian Luo Kingdom was just a kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    In order to prevent the Blood Demon Sect from reigniting its former glory, the six Saint sects had strictly ordered the other sects to investigate. If anyone discovered any sign of the Blood Demon Sect, they would kill them on the spot!


    If Blood Demon Sect''s remnants were too numerous, they would have to be reported to the sect immediately. Glory Sect would send people over to exterminate them.


    This was the reason why the Western Spiritual Realm was so safe after so many attempts.


    And now, the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect had appeared. How could Gu Qingyuan not be shocked?


    At that time, Gu Qingyuan had immediately reported this to the king. Gu Qingyuan had also sent nine of his disciples to the big cities to investigate the legacy of the Blood Demon Sect.


    But then, because of a mistake made by Gu Qing Yuan''s youngest disciple, Xiao Yunhai, Blood Demon Sect not only retaliated, killed six of the nine disciples, but also completely vanished into thin air after that.


    Although Gu Qingyuan had continued to investigate since then, it had never left him alone.


    If not for seeing Blood Demon Sect today, the king would have thought that Blood Demon Sect really did disappear from the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    It was only now that they realized that not only had the Blood Demon Sect regained its former glory, but more importantly, the Blood Demon Sect had become more and more powerful. There were even faint signs that they were about to rise from the ashes.


    This was definitely not a good thing!


    The coldness in the king''s eyes grew more apparent at once.


    "That Young Master Bone Flute is called Song Qingyu. He has quite a high position in the Blood Demon Sect, and his biggest feature is the bone flute in his hands. That bone flute can control some top-grade demons, and I''m even starting to suspect if this Song Qingyu is a demon from the Demon Spirit Realm ¡­" Gu Qingyuan had been tracking the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect for many years, and he knew all the experts among them like the back of his hand.


    This Song Qingyu before him was clearly a Blood Demon Sect leader. Gu Qingyuan naturally knew this.


    "Hmm?" The king was slightly startled, and then said, "Then, how about we just kill him on the spot?"


    "No, Lin Tian is still in their hands ¡­." Gu Qingyuan shook his head. Lin Tian was still in their hands. If they made a move now, it was very possible that Lin Tian would be held hostage.


    With Lin Tian''s talent and potential, naturally nothing could go wrong with him.


    "How could Lin Tian be captured by them?" The king said in surprise.


    "The methods of the Blood Demon Sect cannot be seen in the eyes of ordinary people. Have you seen the demon fox in Song Qingyu''s hand?" Gu Qingyuan said in a deep voice.


    "Yes." The king nodded. This demon fox was the beast king from earlier. He naturally saw it with a glance, but upon hearing Gu Qingyuan''s question, he couldn''t help but ask, "What''s wrong?"


    "That demon fox seemed to have a soul-stirring ability. Presumably, Lin Tian fell into the hands of that demon fox." Gu Qingyuan asked indifferently.


    "Yes." The king carefully looked at the eyes of the demon fox before muttering to himself, "However, it looks like they have a plan in mind to capture Lin Tian. Let''s go and take a look. Let''s see what the Blood Demon Sect is up to!"


    The two of them followed closely behind the black-cloaked men. They were all Life and Death Realm masters who were concealing their auras. Even Song Qingyu of the Bone Flute Young Master was unable to detect their presence.


    Lin Tian was carried by everyone. On the way, they quickly passed by a few small mountains and arrived in a hidden space.


    Not far from Sky City was the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. At this moment, they were in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    As soon as he arrived in this space, Lin Tian Deng felt something wasn''t right ¡­.

 C232

    This kind of strange feeling was not because of anything else, but because after arriving in this space, Lin Tian suddenly felt the divine soul within his Divine Palace slightly tremble. The Primordial Dragon Rune seemed to have some effect because of this ¡­


    "This is?" Lin Tian spoke in surprise. In the next moment, he understood that this was the power of a formation!


    Lin Tian was now a spirit runemaster. He was extremely sensitive to formation fluctuations.


    This place definitely had a terrifying array.


    Along the way, his whirlpool''s Dantian continuously emitted force and the spirit stones were also quietly consumed. Streams of spirit energy swiftly nourished Lin Tian''s body and the golden core in his Dantian, restoring the soul force that was just used up.


    "Alright, put it down, I can''t wait!" Right now, Song Qingyu''s tone was filled with anxiety.


    "Gongzi, next..." A black robed man couldn''t help but ask.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and get me a cup of this kid''s blood. It''s been a long time since I''ve seen such a kid with pure blood qi. I need to hurry up and taste it." Song Qingyu could not wait any longer.


    "Yes sir!" The black robed person didn''t dare to be slow and the knife in his hand suddenly appeared before him as he walked towards Lin Tian.


    "Where did he go?" Gu Qingyuan and the king followed the crowd, but after arriving at this area, they were shocked to discover that Lin Tian and the other black-cloaked men had all mysteriously disappeared ¡­.


    "How is this possible?" The king''s face was filled with shock, "Their presence had clearly come here, how did it suddenly disappear?"


    "I don''t know either..." Gu Qingyuan was also starting to get anxious. Lin Tian definitely could not let anything happen to him ¡­


    "Let me check it out ¡­" Gu Qingyuan didn''t hesitate at all as he directly attacked.


    However, when his aura was released, the power of his soul was also released. Yet, he didn''t sense anything out of the ordinary.


    "Could it be the power of a symbol array?" Gu Qingyuan examined it for a moment before opening his mouth in surprise.


    "The power of array glyphs?" The king bitterly smiled. Both of them were top masters of the Tian Luo Kingdom, and there were very few Life and Death Realm warriors.


    They were not Symbol Masters. If this place had an astonishing amount of power, then they would truly be at a loss. Even with their powerful cultivation, they wouldn''t be able to do anything.


    Lin Tian heard the black robed person approach him step by step. The strength of his body was immediately adjusted to its best state.


    Now, I probably have no choice but to take action ¡­


    That black robed person didn''t feel the change in Lin Tian at all and continued walking forward. Just as he walked in front of Lin Tian and was about to cut off Lin Tian''s wrist, in the next moment, as if he had seen a ghost, he cried out in shock: "You, you actually still have an intention ¡­ ¡­"


    From the start, the black-cloaked person had never said the word "knowledge" out loud.


    That was because, in the blink of an eye, the black cloaked man''s head was thrown high into the air before tumbling to the ground.


    Blood spurted out of the man''s neck and splattered onto the face of the man in black robes.


    At this moment, everyone came back to their senses.


    "This kid, he actually, actually still has consciousness! Just now, he wasn''t bewitched by the demon fox at all!" A thousand ripples arose as all the black-cloaked people quickly moved. Just as they were about to charge towards Lin Tian, Lin Tian suddenly exploded forth. Green light appeared in his hands and a green dragon formed from soul force immediately roared as it charged towards the black-cloaked people.


    "Sky Dragon Burial, destroy!" Lin Tian madly attacked. The speed of the God Transforming Steps was like that of a ghost. In the blink of an eye, the tip of the spear had pierced through the throats of all the black-cloaked men.


    His head flew, blood splattered. In the blink of an eye, the situation had changed drastically. This place was like an Asura battlefield ¡­


    Lin Tian suddenly exploded forward and flew forward. The Dragon Scale Spear''s power was released and everything was completed in one go.


    No one was completely prepared and they were all killed by Lin Tian.


    Eight people. In the blink of an eye, eight black robed people died under Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear.


    The number of people in black robes was less than twenty, and now half of them had been lost.


    Facing such a sudden situation, that Song Qingyu clearly didn''t come back to his senses. By the time he came back to his senses, Lin Tian had already killed half of his subordinates.


    He was also extremely shocked in his heart. Just now, the little thing in his arms had obviously used the Soul Search spell on this kid. How was this possible? This kid was completely fine?


    Could it be that the kid was faking it?


    However, Song Qingyu had used the Soul Search technique before and had tried it repeatedly. Why was it not working when it came to this brat?


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s method explained to Song Qingyu why ¡­


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. At this time, in the middle of the arena, with the remaining black-cloaked people wrapping around Lin Tian, wanting to surround and kill Lin Tian, in front of Lin Tian suddenly came a sound of breaking air ¡­ ¡­


    AHH!" "The screams were abruptly cut off.


    One by one, the black-cloaked men painfully held onto their heads before falling limply to the ground.


    At this moment, no matter how foolish Song Qingyu was, he knew why!


    "He''s a Symbol Master!" Song Qingyu''s expression suddenly turned malevolent. All the doubts he had were completely gone.


    Lin Tian was actually a Symbol Master. No wonder he could ignore the Spirit Absorbing Technique of the demon fox. Moreover, he even pretended to have lost consciousness as he followed everyone else all the way here!


    The technique that Lin Tian had displayed just now was most likely some kind of powerful Symbol Skill!


    Song Qingyu''s guess was correct. Lin Tian had used the God-Slaying Shuttle just now.


    The God-Slaying Shuttle''s power had greatly surpassed the might of the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike. The current Lin Tian was no longer the Lin Tian from before. As a spirit runemaster, using the God-Slaying Shuttle to deal with these third level Aurous Core stage existences was as easy as flipping the palm of his hand.


    The Godslayer Shuttle''s power was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, only one or two black-robed figures were left standing.


    "You ¡­ "You!" The last person in black robes looked at Lin Tian in fear, his body trembling.


    "Die!" Lin Tian turned into a divine step, his palms were like iron pincers as they firmly grabbed onto the black cloaked man. He then kicked him flying and arrived in front of Song Qingyu.


    "Bam!" Song Qingyu also sent the man in black flying with a kick. The man in black robes had his meridians ruptured and blood spewed out from his mouth due to the two powerful attacks. He took in a lot of air and breathed a little less.


    "If you want to drink my blood, it will depend on whether you have the ability to ¡­" Lin Tian grinned at Song Qingyu and said.


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already killed all the demonic servants that he brought along, which made Song Qingyu feel incredulous. But after being shocked, he still recovered his complexion and then faintly smiled: "I must admit that you are indeed very strong, but so what? Today, you must die!"


    Song Qingyu suddenly made a move. The demon fox in his hand had also completed its transformation in an instant.


    In the blink of an eye, the demon fox turned from a small and exquisite demon beast into a giant figure.


    However, this demon beast had now turned into a terrifying monster whose eyes were the size of buckets.


    The instant that the demon fox transformed, Song Qingyu''s strength, which belonged to an expert at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage, erupted out brazenly. Rolling black Yuan Power wrapped around Song Qingyu, and finally, the black Yuan Power gathered in front of his chest before finally taking the shape of a ferocious and terrifying demon.


    "Could it be ¡­ could it be that you''re a member of Blood Demon Sect?" Lin Tian looked at the devil and immediately thought of what Xiao Yunhai had said to him. He thought back to how Song Qingyu had always said that he wanted to drink Lin Ming''s blood. Could this be the Blood Demon Sect''s method of using the Life Sacrifice to kill and then absorb the blood essence of a person?


    "Congratulations, your guess is correct!" Song Qingyu smiled sinisterly: "However, it''s a pity, but I''m afraid you''re destined to die here today!"

    "Bullsh * t. If you want to kill me, you need to have the strength to do so ¡­" Lin Tian disdainfully sneered, then said: "That''s right, I forgot to tell you. There are really too many people who want to kill me, but in the end, their fates aren''t too good ¡­ ¡­"


    Speaking up to here, Lin Tian thought for a bit and then said: "Un, that''s right, I remember, their final result is that all of them died without exception. All of them died ¡­."


    When Lin Tian said this, he looked at Song Qingyu: "You are no exception."


    "Kid, based on what you just said, I won''t easily kill you. I''m going to capture you and use all 999 different types of torture on you! I''m going to cut your flesh off bit by bit and swallow it whole!" Song Qingyu was furious to the extreme. He was the bone flute young master of Blood Demon Sect, when had he ever been humiliated like this?


    "Kill!" In the blink of an eye, the devil in Song Qingyu''s chest charged towards Lin Tian. The devil bit down at Lin Tian, but in the next moment, the dragon scale spear in Lin Tian''s hand suddenly thrust towards the devil, a spear pierced through the devil''s throat, and in the blink of an eye, the devil was shattered by the spear, turning into a thick black mist.


    In the mist, a sound akin to the simultaneous cries of demons and ghosts sounded out. It was extremely ear-piercing and extremely terrifying.


    The wind, thunder, and the cries and screams of infants faintly came from the mist.


    Seemingly trying to disturb Lin Tian''s mind, this was actually a mental attack.


    This was the power that belonged to the Ancient Dragon Talisman. Ever since the Ancient Dragon Talisman was refined by Lin Tian and became his Destiny Soul Symbol, he was able to control the Ancient Dragon Talisman''s power. For Lin Tian, it became even more natural.


    The power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol dispelled the black mist that had originally wanted to rush into Lin Tian''s Heavenly God Palace. Lin Tian''s soul was now as pure as holy jade, emitting a faint radiance.


    Lin Tian laughed loudly: "You dog, your skills are over!"


    In the next moment, Lin Tian fiercely bit his middle finger. A powerful blood qi immediately rushed into the sky. Faintly, a golden light flashed and the roar of a huge dragon could be heard.


    Lin Tian brought his blood-stained fingers with him as he suddenly charged towards the black mist.


    The Soul Formation step was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before the black mist. Wang Lin''s finger gently touched it.


    It was also at this moment that the black mist seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying. The next moment, a mournful and miserable scream was issued out from within the mist.


    The black mist, in an instant, completely exploded. Afterwards, it seemed as if it was struggling to heal up, and returned to its previous strength, but how could Lin Tian allow it to do so. Without any hesitation, Lin Tian once again lightly pointed a finger, and the dispersed mist once again began to scream.


    This time, the fog no longer had any energy to resist and disappeared.


    "Pfft!" The moment the mist dissipated, Song Qingyu felt a sweetness in his throat before spitting out a mouthful of black blood. His face had also become extremely pale.


    The most essence of his power had originated from that black fog. But now, it had actually been shattered by Lin Tian''s finger.


    And, most importantly, the strength that the kid had used was actually the strength of his blood!


    "How is this possible?" Song Qingyu could not help but shake his head in disbelief.


    He had originally felt the strength of Lin Tian''s blood energy and wanted to grab Lin Tian and swallow him. Using the Life Slaughtering Formation, he refined Lin Tian into a Blood Puppet.


    But now that he caught Lin Tian, he was played around with by this brat. Not only did he kill all the demonic slaves, even his blood mist power was broken!


    Moreover, what broke through his blood fog was actually Lin Tian''s blood that he wanted to drink!


    This was a huge irony.


    However, when he thought of this, Song Qingyu suddenly understood something else.


    "Could it be that the power of blood qi on this kid''s body is the power of blood qi that''s extremely positive?" Song Qingyu''s heart was in turmoil, but at this moment, he suddenly confirmed his thoughts.


    That''s right, the only thing that could break his blood-colored mist energy was his Yang energy.


    This boy''s power of blood qi was this kind of strength!


    The irony was that Song Qingyu still wanted to drink Lin Tian''s blood. Luckily, he did not drink it just now. If he did, then he, Song Qingyu would have been completely burnt to death by Lin Tian''s blood ¡­


    Song Qingyu had guessed it right. Lin Tian''s blood was the most positive blood energy in the world.


    What kind of existence was that? It was the purest and most terrifying Yang Energy in the world, the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, able to remove all evil and filthy things in the world, and was the nemesis of all evil Qi, demonic Qi, and evil spirits.


    A heavenly counter, a natural nemesis!


    As a result, when Lin Tian felt the black blood mist, he was already mentally prepared. Thus, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.


    Blood of the Ancestral Dragon, broken through ten thousand techniques!


    "Roar!" Seeing his master heavily injured by Lin Tian in one strike, the huge demon beast that had transformed into a demon fox also rushed towards Lin Tian in a sinister manner.


    "Bastard, you''re the one that triggered the beast tide. I''ve come here to find you, and it was a pleasant surprise to find the dog of the Blood Demon Sect. However, I nearly fell for your trap just now. Now, return it to me!" Lin Tian had just wanted to capture this beast king.


    This beast king, the Ice Silkworm baby, liked it very much!


    With a move of his Divine Steps, Lin Tian Yun charged towards the demon fox.


    He did not use any techniques, nor did he use any martial arts. Lin Tian completely relied on his own body.


    He wanted to use his physical body''s power to kill this beast.


    "Bang bang!" The immense force of blood qi, with the aura of an army of a thousand soldiers, furiously clashed against that terrifying greater demon.


    That greater demon''s body, after colliding with Lin Tian''s body, unexpectedly both retreated a few steps back before stabilizing their own bodies.


    That greater demon looked at Lin Tian in shock. It clearly did not expect that a human''s body strength was terrifying to such an extent. Even when fighting against a demon beast, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all.


    The big demon fox immediately became alert. Her eyes that were the size of water buckets were currently spinning around non-stop.


    Lin Tian instantly felt his own body slightly tremble as a wave of tiredness once again flooded into Lin Tian''s heart.


    "Again?" Lin Tian laughed involuntarily.


    That''s right, this Demon Fox once again used the Soul Absorbing Technique on Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian almost said something earlier. Luckily, the Ancient Dragon Talisman had awoken Lin Tian in time, so Lin Tian didn''t fall for it. If he fell for it just now, it would have been quite unimaginable.


    However, it did not succeed just now. This time, the chances of getting hit by Lin Tian was close to zero.


    The power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol in Lin Tian Divine Palace immediately dissipated.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian did not stay idle either. He used the God Transforming Steps again and later on, he arrived in front of the greater demon.


    Lin Tian gently patted his left hand, then he said with a doting tone: "Alright, little guy, stop sleeping, the food is right in front of you, come out and eat ¡­ ¡­"


    "This is bad!" When Song Qingyu heard Lin Tian''s words, she immediately felt that something wasn''t right.

 C234

    After Lin Tian finished speaking, he immediately felt his left hand slightly move. The next moment, a bone chilling cold came from Lin Tian''s left hand.


    "Squeak squeak squeak." At this time, a weak voice came out from the Ice Silkworm Baby''s mouth. It was also at this time that the Ice Silkworm Baby drilled out from Lin Tian''s hand.


    Lin Tian heard the Ice Worm baby''s cry and was immediately startled. It had been so long, but this was the first time Lin Tian had heard this Ice Worm baby making a sound. Previously, Lin Tian thought this Ice Worm baby wouldn''t make a sound ¡­ ¡­


    However, it was also because of this that Lin Tian knew that this Ice Silkworm Baby was extremely excited, which was why it had such a reaction.


    To it, this demon fox was definitely the thing it wanted to eat the most.


    "No!" At this moment, Song Qingyu felt an icy power coming from his body. In the next moment, his entire body was covered in a thick layer of ice, freezing him.


    The moment the Ice Silkworm came out, the face of the demon fox instantly changed.


    Lin Tian could clearly see that the demon fox was currently like a frightened bird, constantly shivering.


    In the next moment, the great demon couldn''t take it anymore. Its body suddenly shrank before transforming into a small and exquisite demonic beast, returning to its previous appearance.


    "This, he wants to escape?" Lin Tian faintly smiled and then muttered to himself.


    "But, you might not know how scary this little fellow is ¡­" Lin Tian sighed.


    Lin Tian knew just how terrifying this little thing was. No matter what it took a fancy to, nothing escaped from it ¡­ ¡­


    After all, this was the ice silkworm, a powerful existence comparable to a ancestral dragon. Even though the ice silkworm had transformed and regrown, equivalent to starting anew, it was still absolutely much stronger than any other demon beast.


    "Hu!" When the Ice Worm saw the demon fox, it wanted to run away, so it immediately spat out a mouthful of cold energy.


    The figure of the demon fox suddenly stopped in the air. Although the demon fox was fast, her speed couldn''t compare to the ice-cold aura of the Icy Jade Silkworm.


    In the next moment, the demon fox was completely frozen by the ice-cold power of the ice silkworm.


    "Squeak, squeak, squeak." The little Ice Worm looked quite angry, as if it was angry that the demon fox was not obedient. It then rushed towards the demon fox. This time, it didn''t swallow it in one bite, but instead bit through its body in one bite.


    "Kacha, kacha." A sound rang out, causing Song Qingyu to feel a chill run down his spine.


    Song Qingyu was frozen at this moment, but his consciousness was still there. His eyes were bloodshot, but there was nothing he could do. This was his most beloved demon beast. But now, it was completely gone. The ice silkworm quickly devoured it and then smacked its lips in satisfaction. It had a satisfied look and then laid in Lin Tian''s hands.


    At this time, Lin Tian also discovered some changes to the Iceworm.


    The power of the Ice Silkworm was becoming increasingly tyrannical.


    From his hands, Lin Tian could feel the frightful power of ice and the surging power of blood from the Ice Worm baby''s body.


    Not only that, the Ice Silkworm baby seemed to have grown a bit more. Originally, it was only the size of a fingernail, and looked like a little bug. However, it had now grown to the size of a finger.


    Moreover, the color of the Ice Silkworm''s body had also changed.


    So it turned out that the Ice Silkworm Baby was a pure white color. After continuously growing and devouring other forces, the color of the Ice Silkworm Baby''s body gradually became darker.


    It had actually gradually turned black. At this point, it had already turned gray. It was likely that it would completely turn black in the near future.


    The divine beast, the Icy Silkworm, was also known as the Nine-Colored Heaven Silkworm.


    The so-called nine colors meant that the ice silkworm would have nine colors. Every time it grew, it would transform into a different color.


    At first, it was white, then black, and then red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, and seven colors.


    Lin Tian didn''t know what level he would be able to grow to, but the ice silkworm was after all an existence comparable to an Ancestral Dragon. Presumably, it would also be able to become as strong as an Ancestral Dragon.


    However, this process would clearly be an especially slow one. Thankfully, Lin Tian had already mentally prepared himself.


    The Ice Worm baby was satisfied and fell back into a deep sleep, leaving a mark on Lin Tian''s left hand.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also cast his gaze onto Song Qingyu.


    The black robed men had all been dealt with. Next, it was time to deal with Song Qingyu.


    Lin Tian originally thought that it would be a waste of time to deal with Song Qingyu, but now it seemed that there was no need ¡­


    The icy power that the Ice Worm had just spat out had frozen Song Qingyu. Now that Song Qingyu was like a fish, Lin Tian could effortlessly kill him.


    "Haha, killing you like this is truly a bit boring." Lin Tian shook his head. He raised the dragon scale spear and was about to cut off Song Qingyu''s head.


    At this moment, cracking sounds suddenly came from Song Qingyu''s body.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyes suddenly focused. In the next moment, he wildly attacked.


    Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.


    The ice on Song Qingyu''s body suddenly exploded. In the next moment, Song Qingyu fiercely swung the bone flute in his hand. A majestic force instantly blocked Lin Tian''s fatal spear.


    "Kid, to be able to force me to this extent, even if you die, you are worth being proud of!" Song Qingyu shouted with a ferocious expression.


    In the next moment, the bone flute in his hand immediately emitted light, lighting up the entire space.


    "Rumble, rumble." The sound of power tumbling could be heard.


    At the same time, Lin Tian felt the ground shake. The sky above his head was also densely covered by dark clouds. Soon after, it completely darkened, as if it was covered by some power or something.


    At the same time, the Ancient Dragon Symbol in Lin Jingtian''s manor also began to rapidly pulsate.


    "It''s the power of a Symbol Array!" In the next moment, Lin Tian immediately reacted. The power that could draw out the Ancient Dragon Symbol in his body was naturally the strength of the symbol formation.


    Lin Tian also knew that he was currently in a formation, and he had just heard Song Qingyu mention that this formation was called a killing formation.


    It sounded somewhat terrifying.


    Right now, it was most likely Song Qingyu who had triggered such a formation, leading to such a change.


    Lin Tian''s face immediately became serious. This Great Killing Array, thinking about it, it shouldn''t be some simple array.


    One could tell just from this might.


    "Great Killing Array, activate!" At this moment, Song Qingyu''s angry roar came from outside.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" In the next moment, boundless energy surged from all directions, shooting directly at Lin Tian.

 C235

    His surroundings were pitch-black and Lin Tian couldn''t see anything. He could only hear the sonic booms around him and knew that it was the power of the formation.


    This was the first time Lin Tian had faced an attack from array power. Ever since he had become a Symbol Master, although he had dealt with quite a few Symbol Master experts, this was still the first time he had faced an attack from array power.


    The formation that Lin Tian had seen last time was only an auxiliary formation, which was also the Spirit Convergence Array.


    Facing this type of offensive formation, Lin Tian was still somewhat cautious.


    He summoned out an endless amount of Mental Energy from his Divine Palace and completely enveloped himself within it.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. The sounds of breaking through the air kept on sounding and it was extremely terrifying. But at the end, it landed in front of Lin Tian and the power suddenly decreased quite a bit. At the end, the waves of power did not do any terrifying harm to Lin Tian.


    "I have underestimated you. You are actually a Soul Symbol Master!" At this moment, in the darkness of the primal chaos, Song Qingyu''s cold and harsh voice suddenly sounded out.


    Song Qingyu was also a spirit runemaster.


    Thus, when Lin Tian had made his move and blocked the first attack of the Life Death Formation, Song Qingyu had immediately determined Lin Tian''s strength.


    However, even if Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster, victory was only fifty percent. Not to mention that he, Song Qingyu, had the support of a life and death array.


    With the power of the Great Killing Array and his own strength, killing this brat in front of him shouldn''t be too difficult.


    Thinking of this, Song Qingyu was not discouraged. He once again activated the Great Killing Array.


    "Great Killing Array, attack!" At this time, Lin Tian once again heard Song Qingyu''s roar.


    However, this time, the Great Killing Array had become even more terrifying.


    At this moment, the killing formation rumbled nonstop, letting out a very terrifying sound.


    In the next moment, waves of pressure that seemed to come from the soul immediately engulfed Lin Tian.


    This was the pressure of the life and death array, an attack that came from the spirit energy.


    "How is it, did you find anything?" At this moment, outside of the killing array, Gu Qingyuan''s voice contained a hint of weariness. But he forcefully suppressed the tiredness in his heart and asked the king in the distance.


    "No..." The king shook his head and said to Gu Qingyuan.


    There was also exhaustion in his expression.


    "It seems that this Song Qingyu does have some tricks up his sleeve. There must be some sort of powerful formation here that covers the energy between heaven and earth, which is why such a situation appeared ¡­" For the first time, Gu Qingyuan''s tone showed some anxiety.


    Clearly, he was worried about Lin Tian.


    Even though he also knew that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master and Lin Tian had already displayed power that belonged to a Symbol Master during the Clear Sky Trials, facing a formation that even a Life and Death Realm expert like them was unable to detect, Gu Qingyuan was still somewhat worried about Lin Tian.


    This had already exceeded the limits of their detection abilities. They were completely unaware of the situation within the formation.


    Previously when he was facing the demon fox beast king, Gu Qingyuan wasn''t the slightest bit worried because he knew that Lin Tian had enough trump cards to deal with the beast king.


    But now, Gu Qingyuan could not help but not be worried.


    Lin Tian''s strength was only at the first level of the Aurous Core Stage, but that Song Qingyu was an existence at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    Other than them, there were also many black robed men at the third level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    With Lin Tian''s strength, facing so many experts, it was impossible for him to win. Gu Qingyuan suddenly regretted a little, because when he saw the black-cloaked man and Song Qingyu just now, they should have directly attacked and killed him.


    However, it was too late for them to regret it now. Although their strengths were formidable, none of them practiced the Dao of Talismans.


    Faced with such a formation, they were powerless ¡­


    Currently, Lin Tian who was in the middle of the Great Killing Array did not know that his Martial Ancestor and Tian Luo Kingdom''s monarch had already gone crazy looking for him.


    His mind was completely immersed in the Divine Mansion. Song Qingyu had used the killing array just now, and the soul attacks were like a rain of arrows.


    The soul within his Divine Palace controlled the endless Mental Energy within his body and crazily surged at this moment. It transformed into boundless Mental Energy and forcefully collided with the arrow rain attack. The energy quickly collided with each other and completely disappeared into thin air.


    The Immemorial Dragon Symbol between Lin Tian''s divine soul eyebrows was currently constantly vibrating, emitting a gentle light that enveloped Lin Tian''s divine soul.


    The Immemorial Dragon Talisman had already become Lin Tian''s Destiny Soul Symbols and was currently continuously providing Lin Tian with a strong mental power.


    When Song Qingyu saw Lin Tian break his attack again, he was not discouraged and continued to operate the formation.


    "Great Killing Array, Kill!" The aura within the array changed once again.


    At this time, Lin Tian could already feel the power within the formation. The biting cold killing intent had now turned into a powerful killing intent. This time, the attack was still aimed at attacking Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian did not panic. He attacked three times in a row. With his super strong mental perception, Lin Tian already roughly understood the attacking method of this formation.


    This time, Lin Tian did not continue to passively defend. Instead, this time, Lin Tian counterattacked.


    Although Song Qingyu was currently hiding in the dark, since Lin Tian knew of the formation''s attack method, he naturally wouldn''t remain passive and receive a beating.


    "Divine Punisher Shuttle!" Lin Tian''s Spiritual Energy churned, transforming into a monstrous shuttle shaped sharp arrows, all of them piercing towards his surroundings.


    "Bang, bang, bang." A muffled sound suddenly rang out and the Mental Energy had already reached the formation.


    When it hit the formation, the entire killing formation trembled slightly. Even Song Qingyu, who was hidden in the shadows, trembled.


    "What a powerful Symbol Skill!" Song Qingyu was surprised for a moment. He clearly did not expect that Lin Tian actually possessed such a terrifying Symbol Technique.


    The power of the Godslayer Shuttle had nearly pierced through the grand formation.


    Not only that, even Song Qingyu, who was controlling the formation, was almost affected by the Divine Punisher Shuttle.


    "Great Killing Array, annihilate!" Song Qingyu did not dare to hesitate as he once again controlled the array and continued to attack Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not move. He continued to control the Spirit power in his own Divine Mansion and used powerful talismans. He kept on madly attacking the life and death formation.


    In the blink of an eye, the boundless, terrifying power slammed into the formation. The formation trembled violently, as though it would collapse at any moment.


    As for the power that rushed out of the Life Slaughtering Formation, when it arrived in front of Lin Tian, it was also directly exterminated by Lin Tian''s boundless Spirit power.


    What Lin Tian feared the most was a battle of attrition. To be honest, Lin Tian''s Spirit power was so vast that no one could compare to it.


    If he only wanted to compete in Spirit power with Lin Tian, Lin Tian really wasn''t afraid.


    Song Qingyu also never would have thought that Lin Tian''s Spirit power would be so strong. Not only could Lin Tian''s Spirit power completely annihilate the attack that Song Qingyu used, what was even more terrifying was that Lin Tian still had the energy to counterattack.


    In this way, the life and death array wouldn''t be able to hold on for long.


    The reason for that was because the killing formation was originally set up by Song Qingyu.


    It was because Song Qingyu had laid down the killing formation that he was able to easily control it.


    Even though it was set up by Song Qingyu, and even though Song Qingyu was also a spirit runemaster, his Spirit power was not as strong as Lin Tian''s. In fact, compared to Lin Tian''s vast Spirit power, it could not even be mentioned in the same breath.


    Therefore, it would definitely happen if the formation was broken. It was just a matter of time.

 C236

    Indeed, not long after, the Great Killing Array immediately began to violently tremble and shake. It looked like it was on the verge of collapse, as if it could be broken by Lin Tian at any time.


    However, it was precisely because of this that Song Qingyu fought back even more fiercely.


    He had to go all out. If this brat attacked a few more times, the killing formation would be broken.


    However, Song Qingyu shared this killing formation with him. Once it was broken, he would be the first one to bear the brunt of it.


    He would suffer a severe backlash.


    This way, Song Qingyu would completely lose his qualifications to fight Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not care about what the current Song Qingyu was thinking. He continued to frantically attack the Great Killing Array.


    He could also feel that the Great Killing Array was currently violently shaking, and it was likely that it would be broken by him soon. Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer held back as the divine soul in the Divine Palace slightly moved.


    In the next moment, the Immemorial Dragon Talisman was actually controlled by Lin Tian''s soul and flew out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Originally, the surroundings were pitch-black, but now with the light of the Ancient Dragon Symbol shining down, the entire space instantly lit up. And at this moment, Lin TianAo was able to clearly see the appearance of the Great Killing Array.


    In the sky above Lin Tian''s head, the Great Killing Array covered the heaven and earth, forming a unique sealed space. This was also the reason why Gu Qingyuan and the king hadn''t found Lin Tian even after searching for such a long time.


    This was because an independent space had already been formed within the formation. If one did not practice the Symbol Dao, it would be impossible to discover such a space.


    At this moment, the killing array was covered in black fog. The black fog had condensed into a terrifying devil ghost. The cold wind angrily howled, and the devil monster ferociously bit, shrieked, and let out a terrifying sound.


    Not only that, at this moment in the killing formation, there were even hidden chains that Lin Tian couldn''t detect earlier.


    At this moment, the chains that glowed with a cold light quickly formed and fell towards Lin Tian. It was as if they wanted to completely bind Lin Tian within the formation.


    But how could Lin Tian do as he wished? In the instant that the Ancient Dragon Talisman charged out of Lin Tianshui''s residence, a boundless power forcefully tore open a hole in the Life Death Formation!


    At this moment, Song Qingyu was astonished and frightened. His face was filled with fear as he looked at the talisman within Lin Tian''s body that had suddenly charged out.


    If Song Qingyu was not wrong, that talisman should be Lin Tian''s Destiny Soul Symbol.


    However, how could this brat''s Destiny Soul Symbol be so powerful? The moment the Destiny Soul Symbol appeared, Song Qingyu immediately felt his soul tremble. It was a fear that came from the depths of his soul.


    Of course, that terrifying pressure naturally came from Lin Tian''s Destiny Soul Symbol.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian saw Song Qingyu''s hiding place.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled. His overflowing Mental Energy once again gathered to form the endless God-Slaying Shuttle before crazily attacking Song Qingyu.


    The great killing formation was being activated by the Archaic Dragon Talisman, so naturally, it was being broken by the Archaic Dragon Talisman.


    And he just so happened to have the time to deal with Song Qingyu.


    Song Qingyu forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart towards the Ancient Dragon Talisman. His finger moved slightly and lightly tapped the chains on the array. The chains immediately began to roll rapidly in an attempt to trap Lin Tian.


    "Great Killing Array, lock!" Song Qingyu shouted.


    At the same time, he also fiercely spat out a mouthful of blood essence and then landed on the killing formation.


    The great killing formation rapidly trembled, and then a bright light began to flicker. The great killing formation that had a huge hole torn in it just now by the archaic dragon symbol actually began to tremble, and then began to show signs of healing.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was also slightly startled, but he immediately recovered: "A cup of water with a burning cart of firewood. I want to see how much blood essence you can spit out ¡­"


    As he spoke, the Ancient Dragon Symbol once again took action. This time around, the Ancient Dragon Symbol''s power rumbled as it once again smashed towards the Great Killing Array. At the same time, the Great Killing Array once again began to emit a ''kacha kacha'' sound.


    Song Qingyu was both angry and anxious. She still had to face the attack of Lin Tian''s Divine Punisher Shuttle.


    At this moment, he was at his wit''s end, but right now, he couldn''t care less.


    Song Qingyu abruptly pulled once more and pulled the chains within the array down, about to land on Lin Tian''s body.


    At this point, he couldn''t care about anything else. Breaking the killing formation was something that would happen sooner or later, so he had to make use of it before it was broken.


    This chain was his last chance!


    At this moment, Song Qingyu also completely ignored the power of Lin Tian''s Divine Punisher Shuttle and the Ancient Dragon Tally.


    Right now, with all of his concentration, he wanted to tie that chain onto Lin Tian. If he succeeded, he might have a chance to make a comeback!


    "Kill!" Song Qingyu suddenly shouted and the chains quickly formed. Just as he was about to surround Lin Tian and bind him.


    Lin Tian suddenly attacked and beckoned the Ancient Dragon Symbol back. The strength of the Ancient Dragon Symbol was abnormally violent and at that moment, those chains were completely annihilated, crushing them into fine powder ¡­


    AHH!" Song Qingyu screamed as he felt his head was about to explode.


    At the same time, Lin Tian took a step forward and sent a palm strike towards Song Qingyu.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tianli pulled out his Thousand Jin palm, a powerful palm strike that landed right on Song Qingyu''s chest.


    Song Qingyu could not take it any longer and was sent flying to the side.


    At the same time, the archaic dragon symbol completely erupted with all of its power.


    In the blink of an eye, it charged toward the Life-Death Formation.


    "Bang bang!" Accompanied by a heaven-shaking explosion, the Grand Killing Array was no longer able to resist the attack of the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    In the next moment, the entire killing formation suddenly collapsed into pieces, never to be seen again.


    Ah!" Song Qingyu''s mournful screams rang out again. The Great Killing Array had been broken and he, the person who set it up, was also injured by the backlash. At this moment, numerous screams rang out and even his soul had been severely injured ¡­


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan and the king outside the killing array suddenly realized that everything around them changed greatly. Black gas filled the air, and in the next moment, two figures slowly appeared within the black gas.


    Those two figures were none other than Lin Tian and Song Qingyu.


    In fact, Gu Qingyuan and the king had already noticed the strange movement when the Ancient Dragon Talisman had first collided with the Great Killing Array, tearing a hole in the Great Killing Array.


    Therefore, they had come to understand that there was definitely a spell formation in place.


    Later on, as the battle within the array became increasingly intense, they were able to vaguely sense that there were people fighting within the array.


    As such, Gu Qingyuan immediately felt relieved.


    If there were people fighting inside, it at least proved that Lin Tian was still fine.


    Now that they saw that Lin Tian was completely unharmed and that the aura around his body was incomparably strong, the two of them were naturally more at ease.


    Gu Qingyuan had originally wanted to directly attack and help Lin Tian kill Song Qingyu to prevent future troubles, but just as he was about to do so, he was suddenly stopped by the king.


    "Look at the situation in front of you..." The king said softly.


    "Hmm?" Gu Qingyuan was slightly startled. However, he quickly took a careful look at the situation on the stage.


    When Gu Qingyuan had finished looking at everything on the stage, he, who was originally prepared to make a move, immediately gave up.


    "Unexpectedly, I have still underestimated this kid ¡­" Gu Qing Yuan sighed. After which, his body moved slightly and disappeared into the air. It was as though he had never appeared.


    Since he had concealed his presence, it would be best if Lin Tian did not notice that they had come.


    When the king saw the situation on the field, he was also incomparably shocked. The moment Lin Tian and Song Qingyu had appeared, he had clearly seen the situation on the field.


    Corpses littered the ground, all of them were black robed men''s corpses, and the bone flute young master, Song Qingyu, was also knocked over by Lin Tian, falling onto the ground. His aura also became weaker and weaker.


    What was in front of his eyes? It proved that this brat called Lin Tian had killed all the black-cloaked people by himself. Furthermore, he had severely injured Song Qingyu ¡­


    This proved that the boy was not only a genius, but also a heaven''s pride expert. He was simply an extremely terrifying monster, an incomparably terrifying monster!


    After all, Lin Tian was only an existence at the first level of the Aurous Core Stage. However, what happened in front of him told him that not only had he killed all the black-robed men at the third level of the Aurous Core Stage with his first level of the Aurous Core Stage strength, he had even beaten up Song Qingyu, who was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage, to such an extent ¡­


    This was too terrifying. Moreover, all of this was not the most crucial point. The most crucial point was that Lin Tian''s current body''s blood energy was incomparably large.


    This meant that Lin Tian almost did not consume too much power and he completed everything. That meant that, in the end, it was obvious how terrifying this Lin Tian was.


    However, as the black mist gradually started to disperse, the king stopped thinking about it and in the next moment, his body twisted and strangely disappeared from the air. The reason why he had stopped Gu Qing Yuan earlier and did not let Gu Qing Yuan help Lin Tian, was because he really wanted to know, what kind of surprise this boy called Lin Tian would give them next ¡­


    He was looking forward to it, because in the Tian Luo Country, it had been a very, very long time since such a powerful, demon-level student appeared. Even the white-clothed Holy Son Ji Fang, and the other demon-level students were not enough to catch his eyes in front of Lin Tian ¡­

 C237

    The current Lin Tian did not detect Gu Qing Yuan''s and the king''s presence at all. It was truly his strength and was not enough to detect the existence of these two people.


    However, if the Horned Demon is still alive right now, he might be able to detect it. But right now, the Horned Demon has already fallen into a deep sleep, who knows when he will be able to wake up ¡­


    His priority now was to get rid of this Song Qingyu before him.


    At this moment, Song Qingyu''s soul was severely injured, and he was lying on the ground, on the verge of death.


    After the Ancient Dragon Rune broke through the Great Killing Array, it once again returned to Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian''s face was gloomy as he walked in front of Song Qingyu: "If you used your eighth level of the Aurous Core stage strength to fight me head on, I should not be your match with my strength. At most, it would be a battle where both parties would suffer, but you still chose to use the strength of a Symbol Master to fight me.


    He knew that Lin Tian was right. His strength was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage, but Lin Tian''s strength was only at the first level of the Aurous Core stage, a gap of seven whole stages. This was the absolute difference in strength between him and Lin Tian, if he was going to go all out against Lin Tian, then this situation would definitely not happen.


    In the end, what he didn''t expect was that he would take a rock and smash his own foot. Not only was Lin Tian a spirit runemaster, but Lin Tian''s mental strength was over a hundred times stronger than his.


    Moreover, he never would have thought that Lin Tian would have an incomparably terrifying Archaic Dragon Symbol as his Destiny Soul Symbol ¡­


    Song Qingyu''s intestines turned green with regret, but it was too late. Everything was too late.


    "Brat, do you know my identity? If you dare to kill me, I will ¡­" Song Qingyu''s face was twisted. He wanted to use his identity to threaten Lin Tian.


    But before he finished speaking, Lin Tian stepped on Song Qingyu''s head.


    "Pah!" With a single step, Song Qingyu''s head was practically buried in the ground.


    Before he could finish his words, he had already eaten a mouthful of dirt.


    "Were you threatening me just now?" The smile on Lin Tian''s face became even more vicious.


    "I forgot to tell you, I am a person who hates people who threaten me the most. The person who threatened me the most is either dead or beaten down by me. You clearly belong to the former. No matter what, you must die." Lin Tian sneered and said: "But before dying, I still have to ask you a question. If your answer is satisfactory, I will let you die a little faster. If not, I will ¡ª let you die a very rhythmic death!"


    With that, Lin Tian grabbed Song Qingyu''s body and straightened it out. He stomped on Song Qingyu''s chest and said, "You are a member of the Blood Demon Sect, I know that, so I won''t ask any further. Let me ask you, does your Blood Demon Sect have a Holy Maiden?"


    The first question Lin Tian asked was the news about the Holy Maiden of the Blood Demon Sect. It was because it was that Holy Maiden that had given his master, Xiao Yunhai, his current circumstances. It could be said that the reason Xiao Yunhai had achieved his current state was all because of that Holy Maiden.


    Of course, according to his master, that Holy Maiden was his mistress ¡­


    In his heart, he did not recognize that Mistress, but it was not because that Mistress had deceived Xiao Yunhai''s feelings. This was a private matter of his master, and he had no right to ask about it, nor would he force himself to speak out because of this, because it had nothing to do with him.


    This included how Xiao Yunhai had been deceived and what the so-called Mistress had done as a result, Lin Tian didn''t care.


    Even if that Mistress was pregnant with or not, Lin Tian would not care.


    The only thing he was angry about was that this so-called mistress had actually poisoned his own master!


    This was completely unbearable to Lin Tian. Lin Tian still remembered the first time he established the Divine Manor, the scene where his master pulled out the deathly aura from his sea of consciousness.


    Wanting to harm Xiao Yunhai and kill Xiao Yunhai, this was something that Lin Tian would definitely not tolerate. Furthermore, even if Xiao Yunhai was against it, he would take revenge for Xiao Yunhai.


    It didn''t matter who the Holy Maiden was, how powerful she was, or how high her status was in Blood Demon Sect, or how powerful the Blood Demon Sect was behind her.


    Lin Tian did not care at all. He only knew that whatever he wanted to do, no matter what, he had to do.


    In Lin Tian Tian''s heart, there was always hatred. If someone respected me for a foot, then I will respect them for a foot, and repay them with a drop of water. When Lin Tian treats his benefactors and loved ones, he would never be stingy, stingy, and would even help them at all costs.


    But towards his enemies, Lin Tian never held back. If anyone offends me, I will definitely kill them!


    There was never an exception!


    This was Lin Tian''s creed and also Lin Tian''s code of conduct.


    Thus, Lin Tian''s first question was not to the Blood Demon Sect. Instead, he was to the Holy Maiden who had harmed his master.


    Xiao Yunhai was his closest relative, so Lin Tian would naturally stick out for him and even spare no effort.


    "You think I''m going to sell out my Glory Sect? Brat, stop dreaming!" Song Qingyu''s pretty face had already turned ferocious and terrifying. His face was covered in dirt and looked extremely funny.


    "Oh, a person with integrity, I like it." Lin Tian laughed out loud, but in the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand began to wildly attack.


    Ah!" Song Qingyu screamed out again.


    It turned out that Lin Tian''s spear attack just now had cut off Song Qingyu''s left arm. Song Qingyu''s soul had been damaged and he was now just a piece of meat on the chopping block, waiting to be cut by Lin Tian.


    After he had cut off Song Qingyu''s left arm, Lin Tian''s eyes did not even blink as an indescribably cold expression appeared on his face.


    "Brat, how dare you hurt me!" Song Qingyu angrily roared again.


    Ah!" The next moment, the scream was heard again.


    This time, Lin Tian cut off his right arm.


    "Brat, you ¡­" This time, Song Qingyu did not finish.


    Lin Tian had already brandished two spears. One spear, one left leg, one right leg. Currently, all of them had been cut off by Lin Tian.


    Song Qingyu was in so much pain that he almost fainted, but Lin Tian''s foot once again stepped on his left arm, which was still spattered with black blood.


    The intense tearing pain immediately woke Song Qingyu up.


    "You ¡­"


    "To think that you are still unwilling to speak. This really makes me have a whole new level of respect for you. You are such a tough nut to crack ¡­" Lin Tian nodded his head, looked at Song Qingyu, then smiled: "However, what I like to do the most is to break hard bones into pieces!"


    As he spoke, Lin Tian was about to make his move.


    Song Qingyu suddenly roared: "I say!"


    "That''s right." Lin Tian smiled slightly and put away the Dragon Scale Spear.


    "The Glory Sect does have a Holy Maiden ¡­" Song Qingyu asked.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head. He unexpectedly felt some anticipation towards Song Qingyu''s next words.


    "The Holy Maiden is only eight years old this year and is still being nurtured in the Glory Sect. Why are you looking for her?" Song Qingyu sucked in a cold breath as he spoke to Lin Tian.

 C238

    "Looks like you''re not telling the truth!" After Lin Tian heard these words, his face once again became gloomy: "I''ve already given you a chance, and you still haven''t spoken the truth. Then I don''t have anything good to say to you, but if you want to break the bones, it should be a very interesting thing ¡­ ¡­"


    As he said this, just as Lin Tian was about to make his move.


    Song Qingyu immediately became anxious and shouted again: "What I said was the truth! The current Holy Maiden of Glory Sect is only eight years old and everyone in Glory Sect knows the truth!"


    Song Qingyu really did not lie. Facing a madman like Lin Tian, he could not lie anymore because the price of lying was getting his bones torn apart by this madman. This was not what Song Qingyu wanted.


    When Lin Tian saw Song Qingyu like this, he immediately believed it a bit.


    However, what Song Qingyu said was completely different from what Xiao Yunhai had said before ¡­


    When Xiao Yunhai was young, it was at least twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, this eight-year-old Holy Maiden wasn''t even born yet, so how could she have a bad fate with Xiao Yunhai ¡­?


    Unless, unless, right now, the Holy Maiden was not that Holy Maiden, could it be the previous Holy Maiden, or perhaps the previous Holy Maiden?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly asked: "Where is your previous Holy Maiden?"


    "The previous Holy Maiden?" Song Qingyu was slightly startled, but he didn''t know why Lin Tian would suddenly ask such a question.


    "Hmm?" Seeing that Song Qingyu did not say anything, Lin Tian coldly snorted.


    Song Qingyu immediately came back to her senses, and hesitantly said: "That woman is a taboo in Glory Sect, I do not know much, but that woman, she was a saint before, but later she became a traitor of Glory Sect, and now she is imprisoned in the Blood Prison of Glory Sect ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was even more doubtful. This was an unexpected gain.


    However, in order to confirm his identity, Lin Tian asked again: "How old was the previous Holy Maiden?"


    Hearing Lin Tian''s question, Song Qingyu was even more puzzled. Could it be that this boy had some sort of old relationship with that traitor?


    But he didn''t dare to be slow and think too much, afraid that Lin Tian would lose his patience.


    "Probably, around the age of 40 ¡­" Song Qingyu hurriedly said.


    "That would be a good match ¡­" Lin Tian muttered to himself.


    Xiao Yunhai said that what happened that year was more than twenty years ago. If this Holy Maiden was now around forty years of age, then it would be about time.


    That previous Holy Maiden should be Lin Tian''s master''s wife.


    She had heard from Song Qingyu that she had suddenly become a traitor of the Blood Demon Sect and had even become a taboo of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Why was she imprisoned in the Blood Prison? What had happened in the past?


    It was obvious that the Mistress had lied to her master, and had confused Xiao Yunhai with the Azure Province Academy investigating the Blood Demon Sect. It had made the Blood Demon Sect prepare in advance, and had even caused the death of her own seniors ¡­


    If that was the case, the Holy Maiden of the sect had made such a huge contribution to the Blood Demon Sect. No matter what, she shouldn''t have been imprisoned.


    Could it be that there was another hidden story behind the events that happened that year, and that even Xiao Yunhai himself did not know of this secret?


    If that was the case, then it would be a little interesting.


    It seemed as though what had happened back then had been far more complicated.


    Lin Tian secretly thought in his heart. But, since it was a taboo, then Song Qingyu should not know too much. After all, Song Qingyu was young, so if he wanted to ask her about the secrets from that year, he would not know too much.


    Sure enough, when Lin Tian asked again, Song Qingyu did not know.


    However, Song Qingyu had said one more sentence, but it was a rumor he had heard in secret.


    It was said that this Holy Maiden had done something that went against the Sacred Sect''s command. As the Holy Maiden, she was the one who led the people in violating the Sacred Sect''s order. This was a huge taboo.


    When Lin Tian heard this, he found it even more inconceivable. If he went against the command, what command would make the higher ups of the Blood Devil Sect angry?


    However, he was not the person in question, so he naturally could not guess anything.


    Lin Tian did not continue asking. Just as he was about to finish Song Qingyu off with a spear, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.


    "You little beast, go to hell!" Right at this moment, Song Qingyu''s body suddenly began to swell up. It was as if his body was filled with Qi. In the next moment, a violent and tyrannical energy began to emanate from Song Qingyu''s body.


    "Self-destruct?" Lin Tian instantly understood what Song Qingyu meant. It was clear that Song Qingyu wanted to self-destruct ¡­


    His left hand moved slightly, and a majestic cold energy surged out at that moment. In the next moment, Song Qingyu''s body was immediately covered in a thick layer of ice, and the originally swelling body instantly stopped growing ¡­


    Song Qingyu''s face was filled with fear. He struggled desperately to twist his body, but he could not move at all.


    Lin Tian''s methods were too terrifying. Just now, when Lin Tian asked him a question, he had stealthily circulated the power in his body and was prepared to self-destruct because he had already thought of going down with Lin Tian.


    However, before the power in his body had completely gathered, Lin Tian had used the power of frost to freeze his body, causing him to not even be able to self-detonate and self-detonate. This was what Song Qingyu was most afraid of.


    "Haha, it''s not that simple to self-destruct!" Lin Tian shook his head before gently withdrawing his hand. In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear struck Song Qingyu''s body.


    "Kacha, kacha..." Song Qingyu''s body immediately turned into ice and broke into pieces.


    Song Qingyu looked at his body collapse in fear. He did not lose his consciousness yet. He was completely looking at himself as he faced death ¡­


    However, in the next moment, when Song Qingyu''s body completely disintegrated, a terrifying light suddenly drilled out from Song Qingyu''s brain.


    The next moment, that light suddenly appeared and rushed towards the distance. Lin Tian suddenly smiled and said: "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you accepted your fate ¡­ ¡­"


    He was a spirit runemaster, and a spirit runemaster would have their own spirit talisman. If the spirit talisman did not perish, their bodies would not die, and once Song Qingyu''s spirit talisman escaped, possessing another body would not be too big of a problem.


    But Lin Tian was already prepared. He was waiting for Song Qingyu''s Destiny Soul Symbol to appear so that he could catch it.


    The Ancient Dragon Symbol once again frantically surged. Soon after, a frightening suction force instantly gushed out from Lin Tian Divine Palace.


    In the next moment, Song Qingyu''s Destiny Soul Symbol was completely sucked back into the Ancient Dragon Symbol.

 C239

    At this moment, on top of the shining Destiny Soul Symbol was a mini Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu''s face was filled with fear as he struggled to escape, but facing the terrifying suction force from the Ancient Dragon Symbol, Song Qingyu did not have any strength to fight back.


    In the next moment, Song Qingyu''s Destiny Soul Symbol was directly devoured by Lin Tian into the Divine Manor.


    "You, you let me go, I beg you, if you let me go, I''ll be of use to you. Furthermore, I can help you eliminate the Blood Demon Sect ¡­" Song Qingyu''s heart was dead. He no longer cared about anything else. Right now, he just wanted to live.


    "Hmm?" When Song Qingyu said this, Lin Tian''s heart moved, but after hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian acted as if he did not hear Song Qingyu''s pleas for mercy. The Ancient Dragon Talisman moved slightly, and in the next moment, Song Qingyu''s Destiny Soul Symbol released waves of cracking sounds.


    However, at the same time, Lin Tian''s soul did not stay idle. His hands formed complicated hand seals, and in the next moment, a ray of light suddenly spread into Song Qingyu''s broken Destiny Soul Symbol.


    Soon after, a black mist shot out from Song Qingyu''s broken Destiny Soul Symbol and entered Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian was slightly happy in his heart. That black fog from earlier was nothing else but from the memories in Song Qingyu''s mind.


    Just now, Song Qingyu''s soul had been attached to his Destiny Soul Symbol. And within Song Qingyu''s soul, were hidden memories of the Blood Demon Sect.


    The technique that Lin Tian had just performed was a unique technique that he had digested into the Charm Magician''s memories. It was called the Soul Search Technique.


    This talisman technique was able to search Song Qingyu''s soul for all the memories of the Blood Demon Sect. It was extremely terrifying.


    After a moment, Lin Tian finally completely digested the memories. Only then did he slowly exhale a mouthful of impure air, and the fatigue in his soul immediately disappeared without a trace. Just now, Lin Tian had repeatedly fought battles.


    However, after Lin Tian swallowed Song Qingyu''s soul and Destiny Soul Symbol, he felt that the exhaustion from just now had completely recovered. He could even feel that the strength of his soul had faintly improved.


    After dealing with Song Qingyu, a large stone fell from Lin Tian''s heart. This time, the demon beast horde mission could be considered completely finished, and this Song Qingyu and the demon fox beast king became an unexpected surprise.


    He had just used the Ice Silkworm''s Strength to trap Song Qingyu, so Song Qingyu was not even able to use the power of his self-detonation.


    Lin Tian crushed Song Qingyu''s body. Song Qingyu''s body was directly smashed into pieces.


    Right now, Song Qingyu''s body had completely turned into powder. Amongst all the crushed corpses, only the bone flute in Song Qingyu''s hand was completely undamaged.


    Lin Tian let out a soft "eh". He knew very well that the Ice Silkworm''s baby emitted a cold Qi, but it seemed that the cold Qi had not shattered the bone flute. From this, it could be seen that the bone flute was not ordinary.


    Lin Tian unrestrainedly accepted the bone flute and then tried to check if the bone flute actually had the power of a restriction placed by Song Qingyu.


    Lin Tian coldly snorted and then the Spirit power in his Divine Mansion immediately flooded towards the bone flute, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds. The restriction on the bone flute was immediately crushed by Lin Tian in a nearly crude way.


    After crushing the restriction on the bone flute, Lin Tian probed a bit, but it was precisely this sort of probing that caused Lin Tian to be greatly shocked.


    But soon after, the surprise on Lin Tian''s face was replaced with ecstasy.


    "This ¡­ this is a cultivation method!"


    Lin Tian''s heart was in ecstasy. He didn''t think that within this bone flute, there would be a cultivation technique.


    This cultivation method was not any other cultivation method, but a cultivation method of their Blood Demon Sect.


    Upon seeing this, Lin Tian was stunned again. This cultivation method was actually Blood Demon Sect''s unique cultivation method.


    Lin Tian immediately became conflicted. Normally speaking, with Lin Tian''s personality, he would never cultivate Blood Demon Sect''s methods, because Blood Demon Sect''s methods were all about refining human blood and using it to strengthen one''s own body.


    Lin Tian naturally could not use this cultivation method to cultivate. If this were the case, then what difference would there be between him and the Blood Demon Sect''s devil?


    Although Lin Tian was vengeful in hatred, he would definitely not kill an innocent person. This was not his martial path, and did not conform to his rules.


    So after seeing this cultivation technique, Lin Tian immediately went wild with joy and once again became calm.


    If one could obtain this cultivation technique but was unable to cultivate it, wouldn''t that be no different from a chicken''s weakness?


    "Great Art of Blood Coagulation", this was the name of the technique hidden within the bone flute.


    Just from the name of this cultivation technique, one could tell that this level of cultivation technique was definitely not some righteous cultivation technique. The cultivation technique recorded on it was also abnormally cruel.


    "Take human essence blood and refine it into energy. Remove the human essence blood and absorb it into your body ¡­"


    The cultivation method on it was to hunt down humans and extract all the blood essence of a human cultivator for one''s own use. The great blood coagulation technique was to reform the human blood essence, remove the impurities in the blood essence, and then refine it into Qi.


    This Qi was the most important step in the Great Art of Blood Solidification.


    According to the manual, the Great Art of the Blood Solidification Realm refined the purest power in the world, and it was even tens of thousands of times purer than the pure spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. If one practiced it in this way, they would be able to raise their strength to a terrifying level in an extremely short amount of time.


    This was the terrifying aspect of the Great Blood Coagulation Art.


    Lin Tian looked at the records of the Great Blood Coagulation Art, his heart filled with shock. No wonder Song Qingyu had not killed him and wanted to absorb Lin Tian''s blood essence.


    It was likely that Lin Tian''s blood energy had already attracted Song Qingyu''s attention.


    After all, the strength of his lifeblood was extremely terrifying, and far from what an ordinary person could compare to.


    This was because the purer and scarier the essence of the blood energy, the more significant and terrifying the effects of training in the Great Blood Coagulation Art would be.


    If this was the case, it was very possible that Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng had already been selected by Song Qingyu.


    After all, the blood of a natural born lifeform was incomparably pure.


    However, since they had killed Song Qingyu, they did not have to worry about being targeted anymore.


    However, the current Lin Tian had another puzzlement. That was, the cultivation technique in front of him. Should he cultivate it or not?


    This is a problem...

 C240

    "Brat, what are you hesitating about? Of course we can refine it. If you don''t cultivate this kind of cultivation method, are you an idiot?" Just at this moment, in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, a voice that he hadn''t heard for a long time suddenly came over.


    "Hornless?" The last time, when Lin Tian broke through the Jindan Stage, the dragon blood around him boiled and attracted the abnormal sign of heaven and earth. In order to help Lin Tian cover the Heavenly Secrets, Horned Dragon used his own Dragon Soul''s power and thus suffered some injuries, but at that time Hornless did not say much, he only said that he was weak and needed to rest for a period of time.


    "Are you okay?" Lin Tian was naturally incomparably worried. In this period of time without the Horned Demon, Lin Tian really was not used to it.


    So once Horned Demon woke up, Lin Tian asked him about the current situation of the Horned Demon with worry.


    "Of course it''s fine. If there''s anything else, how can I talk to you right now?" Horned Demon smiled. He was a little touched in his heart. This brat''s first reaction was actually to care about his situation ¡­


    "That''s good." Lin Tian nodded his head, then asked: "You said earlier that you would let me practice this cultivation technique?"


    "Of course." Without the slightest hesitation, Horned Demon nodded and said, "It wasn''t easy to get a cultivation technique that can quickly increase your cultivation, so why don''t you practice it?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian didn''t seem to understand the meaning of Hornless'' words.


    "You''re not smart to call you stupid ¡­" Horned Demon rolled his eyes at Lin Tian and said: "Little brat, let me ask you, ever since you formed the dragon clan''s golden core, did you find that if you wanted to break through, it would be even more difficult?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head without the slightest hesitation. It was far from difficult. It was simply difficult.


    Since the last time Lin Tian refined the dragon clan''s golden core, a long time had passed. But during this time, Lin Tian had experienced countless great battles and was also unceasingly cultivating. He had even used up quite a bit of spirit stones.


    However, his level of cultivation had always remained at the first level of the Aurous Core Stage. He didn''t have the slightest intention of letting go and breaking through.


    Even now, Lin Tian did not have the intention of breaking through.


    This was a very big problem. Before, Lin Tian never had the time to think about it, but now that he thought about it, Lin Tian was also a bit surprised.


    "Is it because of my physique?" Lin Tian gave out his own guess. He had inherited the Ancestral Dragon blood essence and walked the path of cultivation using the Dragon clan''s methods. His body was not too far off from the Dragon clan''s.


    He had formed the dragon''s aurous core, and his meridians and dantian were also the meridians and dantian of the dragon race.


    In other words, the current Lin Tian was a dragon martial artist, a martial artist that trained in the dragon race.


    The cultivation of the Dragon Tribe requires a huge amount of resources. Right now, he is about ¡­


    "Right, you guessed right. It''s because of your physique." Horned Demon sighed and said, "Any Dragon race requires an endless amount of treasures and cultivation resources to grow, not to mention, what you inherited, is the most powerful Ancestral Dragon blood essence. So, the cultivation resources you need are not inferior to a True Dragon''s cultivation resources ¡­"


    "This is the most important reason why your cultivation speed is slow. Ordinary training is already unable to satisfy your needs. That''s why you need some unique cultivation methods ¡­" The Horned Demon faced Lin Tian.


    "This is a unique cultivation method. You mean this Great Blood Coagulation Technique?" Lin Tian frowned and said: "But this cultivation technique ¡­ ¡­"


    This time, before Lin Tian could finish speaking, Horned Demon directly interrupted Lin Tian''s words: "Are you saying that this cultivation technique is incomparably cruel and requires a human''s blood essence in order to cultivate it?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head and replied with a question: "Is that not the case? But if that''s the case, doesn''t that mean I have to kill my own kind? If that''s the case, what''s the difference between me and those Blood Demon Sect people?"


    "A short-sighted mouse, a frog in the well!" Horned Demon ruthlessly reprimanded, "Brat, why don''t you understand!"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was even more surprised: "What do you want me to understand?"


    "Although the Blood Solidification Realm is said to kill humans and take their blood essence, could it be that there are only humans on this Sky Dragon Continent? You can''t see the endless amount of demons, the barbarians, or even the Wilderness!"


    "What you mean is, you want me to extract the blood of the demon barbarians and use it to cultivate?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief as he asked.


    "It looks like you''re not as stupid as I thought!" Horned Demon smiled and said, "That''s what I mean. The reason why the Blood Demon Sect chose the human race is because they don''t have enough strength, so they won''t be able to defeat the powerful greater demons and the powerful barbarians. Therefore, the best choice they have is naturally the human race, and on the Sky Dragon Continent, there are countless martial arts cultivators, but the number of powerful martial arts cultivators is only a few, and most of them are geniuses who have just stepped into the realm of martial arts."


    Horned Demon continued to explain, "Moreover, there are countless unarmed ordinary people on Sky Dragon Continent who do not cultivate, so they would be much easier to hunt. That''s why Blood Demon Sect extended their Demon Claw on them, so the Blood Coagulation Great Art requires us to kill humans, but to you, not killing humans is still possible, and like humans, they are all descendants of the Ancestral Dragon Tribe. You are the descendant of their blood essence, so it is not appropriate for us to borrow their blood essence to train ¡­"


    Only now did Lin Tian realize that Horned Demon''s goal was not to get Lin Tian to borrow human blood essence to practice the Great Blood Clotting Technique, but to borrow the demon blood essence to practice the Great Blood Clotting Technique.


    After all, to Lin Tian, Demon Beasts were originally a type of cultivation resource. Hunting Demon Beasts, Lin Tian''s heart did not have the slightest sense of guilt, and even if he did not cultivate this method, Lin Tian would still want to kill a large number of Demon Beasts, regardless of doing missions or hunting Demon Beasts in exchange for resources.


    So, if this method''s blood could be exchanged for the blood essence of a demon beast and not the blood of a human, it would be a perfect technique for Lin Tian. Lin Tian instantly felt his mouth go dry.


    The Blood Solidification Realm could greatly increase the speed of cultivation. To Lin Tian, this was the most important.


    "What exactly should we do?" Lin Tian forcefully suppressed his restless heart and then asked Horned Demon again.


    "What you do depends on you." "Kid, I have already told you the method. Next, you will have to practice it yourself, but you must remember, the martial arts in this world are always the same. As long as you can comprehend one, it will be beneficial to you to practice any kind of martial arts!"


    Saying that, Horned Demon no longer said anything and once again disappeared from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    "No matter how you look at it, it doesn''t seem to be possible for you to escape from it. To raise one to the other three, you have no way of knowing ¡­" Lin Tian muttered to himself about what the Horned Demon said, and then he tightened his grip on the cultivation technique in his hand ¡­

    Currently, Lin Tian''s eyes flickered a few times before memorizing the cultivation technique. With the Ancient Dragon Symbol, he could use it to help him comprehend it.


    The method recorded in the Blood Solidification Realm was too cruel and bloody, but it also had a very serious flaw. If one was careless for even a moment, the power of blood and Qi would cause a backlash, causing an even more terrifying consequence.


    So Lin Tian wanted to use the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol to re-deduce this cultivation technique and use the Ancient Dragon Symbol to understand this cultivation technique''s power.


    With this, Lin Tian unexpectedly turned around and sat down.


    "Yi, what is this kid doing?" At this moment, Gu Qingyuan and the king, who were observing from the shadows, were puzzled.


    Now that he had dealt with Song Qingyu and the King of Beasts, shouldn''t Lin Tian have returned to Sky City? Why was he sitting here with his legs crossed?


    "He is probably trying to comprehend some kind of Qi Method right ¡­" The king had been staring at Lin Tian''s movements. He had seen Lin Tian take out the bone flute from Song Qingyu''s corpse.


    Presumably, Lin Tian obtained something from the bone flute, which was why he had such an action.


    "En, is this boy crazy? He doesn''t know Song Qingyu''s status and he actually wants to practice the skills left behind by Song Qingyu?" Gu Qingyuan''s eyes immediately turned cold as he angrily said.


    Song Qingyu was an important figure of Blood Demon Sect. He was one of the four great young masters of Blood Demon Sect, Young Master Gu Di.


    The cultivation technique he left in the bone flute was naturally the cultivation method of the demon race. But now, Lin Tian was actually comprehending the cultivation method of the Blood Demon Sect?


    But at this time, Lin Tian slightly knit his brows.


    Just now, he seemed to have sensed something, as though there was a faint energy fluctuation ¡­


    This feeling was something that Lin Tian had felt before. After reaching the realm of spirit runemaster, Lin Tian''s soul perception had reached an extremely terrifying and terrifying level.


    So, from the very beginning, while Lin Tian was hunting those demon beasts and helping to settle the demon beast horde, Lin Tian faintly felt that someone was secretly spying on him. That feeling was extremely strange, but with Lin Tian''s strength and his perception, he didn''t sense that anyone was spying on him.


    However, that feeling only grew stronger.


    Just now, Lin Tian clearly felt that somewhere, there was definitely someone looking at him. Because that power fluctuation just now, there was no mistake. Also, the person secretly investigating was definitely a peak expert. His strength was several times stronger than Lin Tian''s.


    In order to confirm his own guess, Lin Tian tried to communicate with the hornless people in the Divine Manor. However, after shouting for a long time, the horned person didn''t have the slightest movement. It was likely that he once again fell into a deep sleep.


    Next time, when the Horned Demon came out, he must ask him clearly what exactly happened to the Horned Demon. If there was anything that could help him, he would not continue to sleep like this anymore.


    Without the Hornless, everything had to be done on its own.


    Lin Tian''s brows tightly furrowed. In the next moment, he did not continue comprehending the Great Blood Clotting Technique. Instead, his figure flashed and he disappeared from where he stood.


    "Where did he go?" Gu Qingyuan was slightly surprised.


    The king muttered to himself for a moment and then asked, "Why is his reaction so strange all of a sudden? Could it be that he''s detected something? Should we follow him and take a look?"


    "Hmm?" Gu Qingyuan immediately became silent. The next moment, he suddenly thought of another possibility.


    Thinking of this, Gu Qing Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I, I might have guessed why he suddenly did such an abnormal action ¡­"


    "Why?" the king asked.


    "This boy might have sensed our existence!" Gu Qingyuan''s face was full of bitterness. He had some understanding of Lin Tian. Judging from his reaction just now and the amount of time left, this was very likely to be the case.


    Because, just now, it was him who was enraged and accidentally emitted some aura fluctuations from his body, causing Lin Tian to notice. It was also because of this that he was alarmed.


    "T-how is this possible? Even if he''s a Soul Symbol Master, he still can''t have such powerful mental perception. You and I are existences at the Life and Death Realm. How is this possible?" The king''s face was filled with incredulity.


    Even though the king did not deny Lin Tian''s performance just now. Lin Tian was definitely an unrivalled genius, but regarding this matter, the king still had some doubts.


    "How about we make another bet?" At this time, Gu Qingyuan faintly smiled at the king before speaking.


    Actually, he understood a principle from Lin Tian. It was that no matter what, do not view Lin Tian as an ordinary person. From Lin Tian''s body, anything could happen ¡­ ¡­


    "Alright." The king naturally wouldn''t lose face and immediately agreed.


    Gu Qing Yuan smiled and nodded: "Alright, the two of us should restrain our powers a little more. We should try our best to not emit any of our powers."


    The king did as he was told and the two of them completely concealed their auras, not letting out any more auras.


    And then, there was a long wait.


    At the same time, not far away, Lin Tian was also quietly waiting. However, he didn''t delay and continued to use the power of the Ancient Dragon Rune within the Divine Mansion to continuously reconstruct the Great Blood Clotting Technique.


    Gu Qing Yuan''s guess was correct. Lin Tian suddenly left to lure them away. In reality, although Lin Tian was in a hurry to leave just now, he didn''t go too far. He hid himself in a bush behind a hill and hid himself.


    His goal was to lure the snake out of its cave. Since someone was following him and was even following him all the way, then once they discovered that Lin Tian had disappeared, they would definitely come out to investigate. At that time, wouldn''t they know who the person following him was?


    It was just that after waiting for a long time, the person behind him did not move. This made Lin Tian feel a trace of doubt in his heart.


    However, he didn''t think too much into it. To comprehend a cultivation technique without anyone disturbing it was naturally the best. Lin Tian simply stood there, continuously comprehending the Great Blood Clotting Technique.


    The Immemorial Dragon Talisman helped Lin Tian grasp the flaw of the Great Blood Clotting Technique. He himself was constantly pondering over it, pondering over the feasibility of using the Great Blood Clotting Technique according to the description given by the Horned Demon.


    Time passed minute after minute. Unknowingly, it was already approaching the evening.


    The essence of the Great Blood Coagulation Art was the method to refine one''s blood into Qi. Lin Tian had basically grasped it, so, next, he would have to experiment it on the spot to confirm Horned Demon''s words and also see the power of the Great Blood Coagulation Art.


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated and returned to that place.


    At the same time, Gu Qingyuan and the king had also lost their patience.


    Gu Qingyuan even faintly suspected that Lin Tian didn''t really leave because he detected their existence and wanted to lure them out.


    Just as the king was about to say something, they suddenly sensed that a figure was rapidly approaching from not too far away.


    The two of them immediately focused all of their attention, concealing their own auras to the point where there wasn''t a trace of it leaking out.


    When Lin Tian returned to this place, the feeling of being watched had disappeared without a trace. There was no sign of any energy or aura around him.


    Lin Tian Deng became suspicious: "Could it be that I really sensed wrongly, or perhaps there really is no one spying on me?"


    He believed in his perception. Just now, there was definitely someone who had been following him the entire way and spying on him, but now it seemed that there was definitely someone that was an extreme expert. It was just that Lin Tian did not know why that expert did not appear.


    But right now, Lin Tian could basically be sure of one thing. Even though someone was spying on him, that person absolutely had no ill intent towards Lin Tian. Otherwise, that person would have already attacked Lin Tian ¡­


    Thinking to this, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and said loudly to his surroundings: "Sir followed me all the way. Although I don''t know what your goal was, since you''ve come, why not come out and see me?"


    The surrounding wind blew, but no one replied to Lin Tian ¡­

 C242

    Although no one replied, Lin Tian was not discouraged and continued to speak: "If you were still here, it would have been fine if you did not want to see me, but, here I am, many thanks for not taking advantage of me and attacking me. If I guessed correctly, you must be a top expert, thank you very much, if you aren''t here, then forget it ¡­"


    After Lin Tian finished speaking, he once again hastily left.


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan and the king''s heart were pounding non-stop. However, they immediately used their powers to suppress their heartbeats once again.


    At this moment, the king looked at Gu Qingyuan with a face full of shock. He never would have thought that Gu Qingyuan had really guessed correctly. This Lin Tian had long noticed their existence ¡­


    But, this, this is a little too sensational ¡­


    The king would never have believed it if he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.


    At this moment, the king was about to speak, but Gu Qingyuan signaled him again.


    The king immediately shut his mouth, but his heart became even more astonished as he thought to himself, "Could it be that that brat still hasn''t truly left?"


    The truth had proven that the king had guessed correctly once again.


    Lin Tian once again returned. This time, Lin Tian''s speed was even faster.


    Lin Tian exclaimed once again. The surroundings were still the same as before. This time, Lin Tian truly shook his head and laughed involuntarily: "It seems like that person should have left ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much. He had just comprehended the Great Blood Clotting Technique so he naturally wouldn''t stay here for too long. Without hesitation, he directly left.


    This time, Lin Tian''s speed reached its limit as he quickly rushed towards the Sky City ¡­


    At this moment, at that place, Gu Qingyuan finally indicated to the king. The two of them simultaneously twisted their bodies, before the air in that area suddenly started to ripple, continuously undulating. In the next moment, two figures appeared at the same time.


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan smiled at the astonished king and said, "Do you believe what I''ve said now?"


    "Yes." The king nodded. He still hadn''t recovered from his shock.


    After a long while, he finally let out a soft sigh. After which, he turned to Gu Qing Yuan and said, "Qing Yuan, this child is the number one Qilin in Tian Luo!"


    This time, he clearly saw Lin Tian.


    Was this kid strong or not? Of course he was strong! Very strong!


    He had taken care of the beast tide by himself, and had even killed Song Qingyu, who was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage, with a cultivation base at the first level of the Aurous Core Stage!


    With just this kind of strength, in the future, if Lin Tian was nurtured, then what would happen. Right now, in front of Lin Tian, no matter how strong the students or geniuses were, they would all pale in comparison!


    Not only was this child powerful, his intelligence was also far more frightening than the king had imagined.


    If not for Gu Qingyuan''s understanding of this kid, and if it wasn''t for the presence of the king, he would have already revealed his identity and been discovered by Lin Tian.


    This was the most terrifying thing. Strength alone, a person without a brain was called a boorish fellow!


    Those who had brains but no strength were no different from brutes. It was difficult for these two types of people to achieve great things in the end.


    However, a person with brains and strength was called Qilin''er!


    The king had heard about Lin Tian before from Gu Qingyuan. Because of his trust in Gu Qingyuan, as well as Lin Tian''s breakthrough into the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Tian had reached the 18th floor and caused an ancient bell to ring. This caused the king to look forward to Lin Tian.


    But because he had never personally seen Lin Tian''s terror, the king was still somewhat suspicious of Lin Tian.


    Except, today''s meeting had broken all doubts the king had.


    Lin Tian, the king had high expectations for him. In fact, in the king''s heart, Lin Tian had already surpassed all of the evildoers that he thought could bring the Tian Luo Kingdom to an even more glorious status.


    Lin TianAo was the genius amongst the monstrous geniuses, the heaven''s pride level experts!


    Hearing the king praise Lin Tian as Tian Luo''s little qilin, Gu Qing Yuan was not surprised. Lin Tian''s performance was undeniable. To be able to receive this title, of course he deserved it.


    Originally, when Gu Qingyuan saw Lin Tian''s performance, he should be happy. However, right now, Gu Qingyuan couldn''t be happy at all. The reason was naturally because of the demonic cultivation technique that Lin Tian had just cultivated.


    The cultivation technique that Lin Tian had obtained from Song Qingyu''s bone flute was a secret technique of the Blood Demon Sect. How could Lin Tian choose that cultivation technique? Could it be that Lin Tian still had plans to become a demon in the future?


    The king glanced at Gu Qing Yuan and immediately guessed what he was thinking. He did not waste any words as he directly said to Gu Qing Yuan, "Alright, you don''t have to worry too much. Let''s hurry up and take a look and we''ll know ¡­"


    "Yes." Gu Qing Yuan nodded his head. However, just as he was about to leave, he turned around and glanced at the corpse of the man in black robes behind him. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly throwing out a palm strike.


    The dozen corpses were immediately covered by a layer of black gas. In the next moment, they disappeared without a trace ¡­


    Gu Qingyuan then hurried back to Sky City with the king.


    Lin Tian had already arrived inside Sky City. At this time, in front of Sky City''s north gate, there were demon beast corpses everywhere. The sky was getting dark and torches were lit up immediately, as if it was daytime.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all as he arrived in front of a demon that had been dead for a long time. He slightly chanted an unknown incantation, and his hands constantly formed seals. In the next moment, when the seals landed on the demon, the demon''s body began to spasm frantically, and in the next moment, something strange happened. The greater demon''s body actually shook violently a few times, and then suddenly exploded with a "boom".


    Soon after, the greater demon instantly turned into a rain of blood. At the same time, Lin Tian continued chanting. Not only that, his hands were also frantically forming hand seals. Accompanied by a series of hand seals, they constantly fell onto the rain of blood formed by the greater demon.


    Not long after that, the rain of blood was evaporated, changed, and reduced.


    In the end, the blood rain actually turned into a drop of extremely pure blood.


    Lin Tian was overjoyed. To be able to refine it to this extent at the very least proved that he had already succeeded in more than half of the Blood Solidification Realm.


    One of the most important steps in the Great Art of Blood Solidification was to ''solidify''!


    Consolidation was the meaning of condensation. Initially, the bloodlines and power of bloodlines within a greater demon were extremely mixed, hence they had to be compressed. This was also what it meant by ''congealing''.


    He condensed all the blood in the body of the greater demon into a single drop. The purity of this drop of blood could be easily imagined.


    The next step was to refine one''s blood into one''s Qi. This was also the most important step in the Great Blood Coagulation Art, as well as the most important part.


    As a result, Lin Tian didn''t dare to be negligent. The speed at which he chanted the incantation from his mouth became faster and faster. His hands constantly formed complicated seals. One after another, they fell onto the drop of blood.


    After a while, Lin Tian suddenly stopped his actions and then suddenly shouted out loud: "Transform!"


    A drop of blood immediately exploded. In the next moment, the extremely pure blood actually turned into an incomparably terrifying energy that entered Lin Tian''s nose and mouth.


    Lin Tian immediately felt his spirit rise up. A warm feeling spread from his throat to all the bones in his body. An indescribable feeling of comfort instantly flooded into Lin Tian''s heart.

 C243

    This was the essence of the Great Blood Coagulation Art: Blood Refinement.


    The Blood Solidification Realm believed that the blood essence of human cultivators was hidden within the bodies of martial arts cultivators and was distributed throughout the body.


    Therefore, if one wanted to use the blood essence from a martial cultivator to cultivate, they would need to completely condense the blood essence around their body. In the end, they would need to condense it into a drop, or even several drops of blood essence.


    After that, he refined this blood essence into Qi. This Qi was the ultimate essence of the Great Art of Blood Solidification, and could provide endless power to cultivators. This power was a hundred times more pure than the purest Qi in this world.


    However, this method was only the most primitive method of using the Blood Solidification Realm. After all, the Blood Devil Sect treated all human martial arts as fish and slaughtered human martial artists. However, Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t follow the Great Blood Solidification Realm to kill human martial artists.


    After all, it was impossible for him to kill all of the innocent and kill all of the humans.


    That was why he had used the Ancient Dragon Symbol to help him rededuce the Great Blood Coagulation Technique.


    However, right now, Lin Tian had thoroughly understood the essence of the Great Blood Clotting Technique.


    As the saying goes: never leave the sect. Lin Tian passed the deduction of the Immemorial Dragon Talisman and quickly grasped the cultivation method and trick of the Blood Solidification Realm.


    The most important part of this cultivation technique was naturally the cultivation method. The cultivation method was quite simple, and after Lin Tian comprehended it, he experimented this cultivation technique on the greater demon in front of him.


    This great demon was a third level third grade demonic beast. Its strength was comparable to a third level Jindan Stage human cultivator.


    As a result, his Qi and blood were extremely vigorous, which was the perfect time for Lin Tian to test the power of the Great Blood Coagulation Art.


    After that abnormally pure Qi was devoured by Lin Tian, Lin Tian felt that the incomparably pure energy contained within the Qi was almost comparable to the effects of several thousand spirit stones.


    This made Lin Tian happy. To Lin Tian, what he lacked the most at the current stage was naturally resources. Spirit stones were always the key, and this time, it was Hua Ruyi who gave him a lot of spirit stones.


    Especially since Lin Tian had currently cultivated the body of a dragon, his strength required an endless amount of resources.


    It had to be known that when a dragon grew up, they would often have endless resources. However, because the dragon race was incomparably large, they had countless treasures and resources. Thus, they did not need to worry about the consumption of resources.


    But Lin Tian was completely poor. From the beginning until now, Lin Tian needed to rely on himself for everything.


    He needed to solve the problem of resources for himself. Of course, this was also the biggest problem for Lin Tian.


    Previously, Lin Tian still didn''t know how to solve the biggest problem with the resources, but now, with the Great Blood Clotting Technique, he didn''t need to worry about anything.


    With the Great Art of Blood Solidification, Lin Tian could utilize all the resources available to him. Demonic beasts, Berserkers, these resources could be said to be limitless.


    As long as he could hunt for the existence of the Demonic Barbarian, Lin Tian''s strength would naturally rapidly increase.


    The Great Blood Coagulation Technique, this was basically giving away carbon in the snow.


    Just as Lin Tian was celebrating about getting the Great Blood Solidification Technique, not too far away he saw Gu Qingyuan and the king with cold glints on their faces.


    Especially Gu Qingyuan, who was currently staring fixedly at Lin Tian.


    "This kid really cultivates that Blood Demon Sect''s cultivation technique?" Gu Qingyuan was a bit worried. The two of them had guessed it earlier. Since Lin Tian obtained the cultivation technique from the bone flute, he naturally wouldn''t let it go and would definitely cultivate.


    Sure enough, the first thing this kid did when he came to Sky City was to practice that devil art ¡­


    Gu Qingyuan was at a loss for words, but he didn''t go up to stop him. If this kid really cultivated to the point of massacring humans to cultivate his cultivation technique, Gu Qingyuan would not hesitate and directly kill Lin Tian as if he was a beast of the Blood Demon Sect!


    This was Gu Qingyuan''s bottom line. Similarly, this kind of method was also how he taught his disciples.


    Back then, Xiao Yunhai had been bewitched by the previous generation''s Holy Maiden, and had even committed a heinous crime. However, Xiao Yunhai had never fallen into the demonic path, and this was also the most important reason why Gu Qingyuan had not acted.


    If the Xiao Yunhai back then had fallen into the demonic way, Gu Qingyuan would not hesitate to kill him.


    As long as they didn''t cross Gu Qingyuan''s bottom line, Gu Qingyuan would still be very protective of him. Even if Xiao Yunhai committed a grave mistake, Gu Qingyuan wouldn''t pursue the matter.


    Currently, Gu Qingyuan naturally had the same attitude towards Lin Tian.


    Of course, it was also because they had followed Lin Tian all the way here and saw that Lin Tian only used the greater demon to conduct experiments and did not kill humans. If they saw Lin Tian kill humans, the two of them would not hesitate to capture him ¡­


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t know what Gu Qing Yuan and the king would think. He already knew in his heart that it was impossible for Lin Tian to kill innocent humans. This was different from his heart of martial arts.


    This greater demon was also trying to test out the might of this Great Blood Coagulation Art.


    Now that he had finished experimenting, Lin Tian''s heart was filled with excitement. If this Great Blood Coagulation Technique could also be used on the Demonic Barbarian, then he would have earned it. In front of Sky City, the beast tide had just ended and the beasts on the ground were all ownerless.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately no longer hesitated and began to madly move.


    At this moment, the night was gradually getting darker. After a day of great battle, the students of the North, South, East, West, and North Academies were all extremely exhausted. At this moment, they had already gone to rest.


    The demon beast horde continued for a few days, and Sky City''s guards were also extremely tense during these few days. At this moment, the danger to the demon beast horde had been resolved, so Sky City''s security was at its most relaxed.


    Moreover, after the monster tide ended, they didn''t have time to bring all the dead demon beasts back to the city. At this moment, all of the demon beasts were lying on the outside, giving Lin Tian a chance.


    Those Monstrous Beasts were all treasures. Naturally, they were all taken away by the Sky City, and at the end, they were exchanged for resources. Some of them were left behind by themselves, and a large portion were given to the Azure Province Academy.


    The students of the Azure Province were divided according to the number of students they hunted. In the end, these resources were still used to the fullest extent and returned to the students of the various academies.


    Thus, these demon beasts were actually the public property. At this time, Lin Tian had already taken advantage of the public property.


    With no time to think, Lin Tian immediately began to move quickly.


    The main force of this beast tide was still a Rank 1 Demonic Beast. It was equivalent to the strength of a human cultivator, Qi Disciple stage, and Qi Hai stage.


    Lin Tian didn''t plan on using this type of demon beast. On one hand, its level was too low and it wasn''t as useful as those greater demons to Lin Tian.


    Also, there were too many of these monsters. Even if Lin Tian did not sleep at night, he would still not be able to completely refine them. After all, using the Blood Solidification Realm required soul force and time.


    Thus, Lin Tian focused on selecting high level demon beasts, which were also Greater Demons at the third stage.


    Previously, there were more than a hundred Rank 3 Demonic Beasts that were protecting the monster king. Lin Tian could only take care of them in one night. That was already not bad.


    With a target, Lin Tian moved abnormally quickly.


    One by one, the greater demons'' corpses were quickly taken by Lin Tian into the stone tablet space that he obtained earlier.


    Not long after, Lin Tian finished collecting everything. Then in the darkness, Lin Tian''s figure disappeared in front of the north gate of the Sky City.

 C244

    Using his own Great Coagulation Technique in front of the city gate of Sky City was too ostentatious, so Lin Tian decided to find a place with no one to cultivate.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate at all. In a few breaths of time, he arrived at the place where he had killed Song Qingyu.


    However, as soon as he arrived, Lin Tian felt something was off.


    "No, that''s not right. When I left just now, the corpses of those black-robed men were still there. How come they''ve disappeared now?" Lin Tian had a face full of suspicion. After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something. Before this, he had always felt that someone was secretly spying on him.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian broke out in a cold sweat.


    Indeed, his earlier reaction was not wrong. There had always been people spying on him from the shadows.


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated and immediately began to carefully sense the surrounding strength and aura fluctuations.


    If that person removed all traces of this place, there would definitely be some aura left behind.


    After inspecting it for a while, Lin Tian finally came back to his senses. However, the doubt on his face became even stronger.


    "That''s right, there is an aura here. However, why is this aura so familiar?" Lin Tian thought for a long time before abruptly regaining his senses.


    "It''s him!" Lin Tian suddenly asked in surprise.


    He had already remembered who this familiar aura belonged to.


    "Gu Qing Yuan ¡­"


    That''s right, this aura belonged to his grandteacher, Gu Qingyuan!


    At this moment, the doubt and worry in Lin Tian''s heart disappeared. He had been worried that he would secretly investigate the identity of the person he was talking about.


    Lin Tian also guessed that it was a peak expert, but he didn''t think that it would be Gu Qing Yuan. However, if it was Gu Qing Yuan, Lin Tian didn''t need to worry too much. After all, this person was his Martial Ancestor.


    It was no wonder that Gu Qingyuan would help him wipe away the traces left behind by the black-robed man from the Blood Demon Sect.


    However, having solved this doubt, another followed suit.


    "But, why would he come here?" Lin Tian could not understand no matter how much he thought, but in the end, Lin Tian still thought of some clues.


    There was only one explanation, and that was that Gu Qingyuan had come for Song Qingyu.


    From Xiao Yunhai''s words back then, Lin Tian knew that his Martial Ancestor had been following the trail of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Therefore, Gu Qingyuan came here for the sake of Song Qingyu ¡­


    Thinking of this, coupled with the fact that he had swallowed a portion of Song Qingyu''s memories, Lin Tian more or less understood the cause and effect of this matter.


    Their goal was very simple. They wanted to borrow the power of the demon beasts to attack the city and kill the citizens of Sky City. Afterwards, they would sacrifice their blood and continuously develop their Blood Demon Sect.


    This was not the first beast tide of Sky City. Although it had appeared before, it was not as frequent as before. It was likely that Blood Demon Sect''s development in the Tian Luo Kingdom had encountered a large resistance that forced them to keep fighting.


    In those ten years, in addition to this time, there had been a total of three times. But just at that time, the students of the Azure Province School all came to help the Sky City pass through the difficult times.


    However, the first two times were just to test the waters. Later on, after experiencing it twice, the higher ups of the Blood Demon Sect also thought of a plan. This time, they specifically sent the bone flute young master, Song Qingyu, to plan the beast tide this time.


    Song Qingyu had a portion of the demonic bloodline, and the bone flute in his hand also had the ability to control demonic beasts.


    Song Qingyu had brought along this demon fox beast king from his clan and planned out this beast tide.


    Furthermore, Song Qingyu was a spirit runemaster and had laid down a grand killing formation not too far away from Sky City.


    The Blood Demon Sect was now like a mouse crossing the street. They no longer held the glory they once had.


    If they wanted to return to their former glory, they would have to take things slow. There was only one way for the Blood Demon Sect to grow, and that was to offer blood.


    Only by relying on the blood essence of strangers could they continue to develop.


    According to the legends, the Blood Demon Sect possessed a river of blood. It was their most precious treasure and the source of power for all Blood Demon Sect disciples.


    The purpose of the living sacrifice was to strengthen the river of blood.


    However, due to the changes in the situation, the original method of offering sacrifices to strangers had long since become ineffective. Thus, the Blood Demon Sect came up with another method.


    That was the Blood Puppet!


    Refining puppets, blood puppets, Lin Tian had also learned from Song Qingyu''s memories that it was an unwittingly killing machine. It was the Blood Demon Sect that captured the souls of martial cultivators and used a special technique to control them to turn them into puppets.


    Once this type of puppet was created, its power would be astounding. This was because this type of puppet could borrow the strength of the blood to continuously strengthen itself. The strength of this puppet would only grow more and more terrifying.


    The Blood Puppet was the ultimate killing tool of their Blood Demon Sect. The Blood Demon Sect wanted to cultivate countless Blood Puppets, and in the end, they would use these Blood Puppets'' army to slaughter the entire Western Spirit Region. At that time, they would reform the Blood River, slaughter their way out of the Western Spirit Region, and ultimately conquer the entire Sky Dragon Continent.


    It had to be said that this plan was incomparably beautiful. However, the difficulty of implementing it was also extremely great. This was because the requirements for them to refine a Blood Puppet were very high.


    They wanted the young disciples with outstanding talents as this way, their growth rate would be quite good and their strength would rise quickly.


    Of course, it would be best if it was a disciple with a natural constitution.


    Therefore, their Blood Demon Sect had set their sights on the Azure Province Academy very early on.


    After the previous two failures, the Blood Demon Sect had improved their plans. This time, their plans were much more complicated.


    Many of the students that the Azure Province Institution had sent over were geniuses with outstanding talents. This made the Blood Demon Sect salivate. If they could capture all of these students, then the Blood Puppet trial would be more than half completed.


    This was because such students, their strength and potential were all top-notch.


    As long as they were carefully nurtured, they would soon become an army of blood puppets and become weapons of slaughter in their hands.


    So, this time, the demon beast horde was fake, and the Qingzhou school students hunting was real.


    Originally, Song Qingyu''s plan was, first, to besiege Sky City for three days and three nights and continue to show weakness, and in the end, under his control, all the demon beasts quietly dispersed, scattering for a few miles. According to his previous experience, the students of the Azure Province Academy would chase after them for several miles, and this time, it would be no exception, if his plan went well, he would chase them for several miles. At this moment, Song Qingyu had already set up a life killing formation and was waiting for the students of the Azure Province Academy.


    Once the killing formation was activated, they could forget about going out because the killing formation came from an attack on their souls. This kind of attack could kill their souls in the blink of an eye and turn them into unconscious shells.


    If it wasn''t for Lin Tian interfering and messing up Song Qingyu, Song Qingyu''s plan this time might have been successful!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s entire body was covered in cold sweat. The Blood Demon Sect had really put in a lot of effort.


    This time, the students sent out by the Azure Province Academy were all new students. And among this batch of new students, the number of celestial bodies was the highest in the past.


    There were several of them. Du Feng of the Heavenly Dao, Gu Yan''er of the Poison Body, Fang Xing of the Talisman Body, Zhang Taixu of the Divine Body, Wang Tiangang of the Beast Spirit Body ¡­


    Wait, wait, wait. They had all come. If all their plans were successful, just these few spirits were captured by Song Qingyu. The consequences would be unimaginable.


    It was no wonder that after Song Qingyu used the Demon Fox''s Soul Search technique to confuse him, he first had to take his blood, and then he had to put himself in the Great Killing Array.


    It turned out that he wanted to erase his soul and turn him into a Blood Puppet.


    However, what Song Qingyu did not expect was that Lin Tian was also a spirit runemaster. Furthermore, his strength was extremely terrifying. Relying on just one person, he had almost taken care of the beast tide.


    This was probably something that Song Qingyu did not expect.


    When Lin Tian thought of this, his loathing towards the Blood Demon Sect grew even stronger. He swore to himself that one day, he would slaughter all of these bastards from the Blood Demon Sect!


    However, thinking about it, Lin Tian felt that Gu Qing Yuan should have already noticed it, otherwise, he wouldn''t be here. Actually, even if he wasn''t here, Gu Qing Yuan would have made a move ¡­ ¡­

 C245

    After thinking about all of this, Lin Tian did not hesitate anymore. It was just that after this battle, his heart became a lot more vigilant. When he returned, he would tell Du Feng and the others about this and he would need to be extra careful.


    If they were targeted by the Blood Demon Sect and refined into a Blood Puppet, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    The Celestial Body was already terrifying to begin with. With Blood Demon Sect''s special refining technique, these people became killing machines. That would be the disaster of the entire Tian Luo Country ¡­


    Shaking his head, Lin Tian didn''t continue to think about these things. After all, resolving these problems wasn''t difficult. As long as one''s strength was strong enough, anything was useless.


    Only Lin Tian''s strength had reached a certain level. What Blood Demon Sect? In front of him, they were nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately placed the hundred or so greater demons he had gathered in the stone monument in front of him.


    This time, it wasn''t like he didn''t have any gains. At the very least, he had also acquired the Great Blood Coagulation Technique. With this cultivation technique, Lin Tian didn''t need to worry about the lack of cultivation resources.


    What kind of strength could these hundred or so Greater Demons help Lin Tian break through to? Lin Tian''s heart was also faintly looking forward to it.


    "Break for me!" Lin Tian''s finger moved slightly and a force immediately landed on a greater demon. That greater demon''s corpse immediately exploded, turning into a rain of blood.


    An extremely terrifying pressure of blood was emitted from that blood rain.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and sent out more power. In an instant, the blood rain started to crazily be compressed.


    Not long later, the blood rain once again turned into an incomparably pure blood energy.


    The blood continued to decrease and dissipate until finally, the blood rain turned into an incomparably pure drop of blood.


    Terrifying spirit power was emitted from the drop of blood.


    Then, Lin Tian yelled again: "Transform!"


    The blood''s power was instantly vaporized and turned into an incomparably pure blood qi that entered Lin Tian''s nose and mouth.


    With the support of the blood aura, Lin Tian''s whirlpool of dantian quickly started to revolve. The next moment, boundless soul force was pushed into the whirlpool of dantian, digesting the blood aura.


    The blood energy quickly evaporated into spirit energy and was finally stored in Lin Tian''s aurous core.


    With the support of this kind of power, the blood aura around Lin Tian''s body began to boil. The blood aura around Lin Tian''s body began to emit a faint golden light, causing his blood to boil and creating a strange phenomenon. Finally, it transformed into a curled up dragon soul that sat on top of Lin Tian''s head.


    Within Lin Tian''s dantian''s Jindan, there was also a terrifying blood-red dragon engraved. At that moment, that little dragon was lying in Lin Tian''s dantian, emitting a terrifying pressure.


    At one point, the blood-colored dragon was awakened. It opened its mouth and swallowed the elemental energy within the aurous core.


    Lin Tian at once felt his body tremble, inside the golden core, suddenly empty.


    Lin Tian laughed bitterly, his body was now a bottomless pit. The pure Yuan Power formed from the blood qi earlier had already disappeared, but luckily, there were still many greater demons present, so he did not need to be too worried for now ¡­


    At the same time, somewhere in Sky City, Gu Qing Yuan looked in Lin Tian''s direction and said: "That kid has discovered my aura. He probably knows that I''m here ¡­"


    One reason was because he did not want others to know about the Blood Demon Sect, in order to not cause unnecessary panic. Secondly, he had also intentionally left behind his own Qi, to let Lin TianAo know that the person who had been spying on him was Gu Qingyuan, and to let Lin TianAo feel at ease.


    The king frowned and said, "That brat''s cultivation technique..."


    Gu Qingyuan knew what the king meant. Lin Tian was currently practising a cultivation technique of the Blood Demon Sect after all. This was, after all, a hidden danger.


    Gu Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Don''t worry. Once there''s anything wrong with this kid, I will personally clean up the sect and kill him ¡­"


    The king sighed. He knew Gu Qingyuan''s personality, so he didn''t say anything more. He just sighed and said, "You are great everywhere, just that you''re a little too protective ¡­"


    Gu Qingyuan smiled and said: "After all, he''s my grandstudent ¡­"


    As he spoke, Gu Qingyuan seemed to recall something as he turned to the king, "Right, which two bets?"


    Gu Qing Yuan and the king previously had two bet. One was on whether Lin Tian would be able to kill that beast king, and the other was on whether Lin Tian had sensed that the two were secretly spying on Lin Tian.


    Right now, the two bets had been accomplished by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s ice silkworm had swallowed the demon fox, but the two of them had not seen it. However, the demon fox had already disappeared, so they naturally thought that Lin Tian had killed it.


    The other one was that Lin Tian had indeed felt their existence.


    Gu Qingyuan had won both bets.


    The king knew that this matter could not be avoided, so he did not try to play any tricks. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, tell me your conditions ¡­"


    I won both bets, and we didn''t place any bets before, neither did I think about what to buy for now. How about this, you promise me, in the future, you remember to owe me twice. Gu Qingyuan pondered for a moment before stating his conditions.


    "Haha, I knew it. Alright, let''s do as you say ¡­" The king had more or less guessed Gu Qingyuan''s thoughts, but he didn''t say it out loud.


    "Lord monarch, before long, it will be my Azure Province Academy''s Freshman Rites. You ¡­" Gu Qingyuan said with a faint smile.


    "Alright, alright, alright. I will definitely take a look. Honestly speaking, I would like to see what kind of surprise this boy can give me during the Freshman Competition!" The king directly agreed. Even if it was against Lin Tian, the king would come visit this year''s Freshman Rites. This trip to Sky City, Lin Tian had left a deep impression on him.


    "We''ve stayed here for quite a while already, it''s about time for us to leave ¡­" The king said to Gu Qingyuan.


    "Wait a moment, I need to talk to a few people first ¡­" In the next moment, Gu Qingyuan''s body disappeared into the air.


    At the same time, not too far away from Sky City, in the boundless Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    More than a dozen figures were searching for something in the dense forest. They were all holding torches with anxious expressions on their faces.


    If Lin Tian was here, he would probably immediately recognize them and know what they were looking for ¡­


    Right, these people were none other than Du Feng, Fang Xing, the North District''s mentor, Zhang Feng, the East District''s instructor, Ling Tianlie, his disciple, Ling Wushuang. In addition, the South District''s and North District''s instructors were all here, searching for something ¡­

 C246

    "Master, Junior brother Lin Tian, could it be that ¡­" They had been searching for half a day now, but they still couldn''t find anything. That Ling Wushuang could not help but say to Ling Tianlie.


    "I''ll beat you to death, you''re dead. That stinking brat Lin Tian won''t die!" When Ling Tian Lie heard his own disciple''s words, he was immediately enraged. He roared at Ling Wushuang: "What are you wasting your breath on, continue to find them. If you can''t find them, then I will beat you to death today and accompany Lin Tian ¡­"


    "Pei pei pei, hurry up and find it for me!" Ling Tian Lie had wanted to say that he would be buried with Lin Tian, but as soon as he said those words, he felt that something wasn''t right. The word "buried" was forcefully swallowed down by Ling Tian Lie.


    That''s right, they were searching for Lin Tian.


    Previously, when the King of Beasts demon fox had suddenly dashed and escaped, Lin Tian had gone to chase after the King of Beasts. Back then, when the other instructors were watching the battle on top of the city wall, they had felt that something was wrong. Lin Tian''s strength was incomparable, but he was still a King of Beasts, and Lin Tian''s strength might not be enough to deal with that King of Beasts.


    However, the beast tide continued at that time, causing countless students to turn red from killing. These instructors wanted to protect the students on top of the city walls, so they had forgotten about this matter.


    It wasn''t until nightfall that the beast tide was basically dealt with. Ling Tianlie, Zhang Feng Deng, and the others immediately thought of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian still hasn''t returned!


    The two of them immediately realized that something wasn''t right. If Lin Tian had been tracking the Beast King, if he had been able to track that Lin Tian''s strength was tyrannical enough, he would have already killed the Beast King and returned.


    If Lin Tian was not that Beast King''s opponent, he should have given up tracking and returned.


    But Lin Tian never came back, which made them a bit worried. If he didn''t come back, then there was another possibility. Lin Tian was killed by the Beast King, and if that happened, even if Lin Tian never came back.


    This was the worst possible outcome, but they had to think about it.


    Thinking of this, everyone could no longer remain calm, especially Zhang Feng and Ling Tianlie.


    The strength that Lin Tian had displayed during this trip into the monster tide was definitely one of the few geniuses that had never appeared in the past thousand years of the Northern Courtyard.


    Zhang Feng even felt that if this Lin Tian was properly nurtured, it might be possible for him to be the next Ji Fang Ge!


    So, no matter what, nothing could happen to Lin Tian. Not to mention Yang Qingtian, even if something happened to Lin Tian Zhen, Zhang Feng himself would not let him off.


    Zhang Feng could die, but Lin Tian could not!


    This was because it was very possible that Lin Tian was the Northern Courtyard''s hope to revive him.


    Lin Tian was Xiao Yunhai''s disciple and his martial nephew. He also admired Lin Tian and treated him as if he were his own disciple. How could he possibly watch as something happened to Lin Tian ¡­


    Thus, without thinking too much, Ling Tian Lie and Zhang Feng joined the other two faculty members and found a few powerful seniors. They then hurriedly rushed to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range in order to search for Lin Tian''s whereabouts.


    If he''s alive, I want to see him! If he''s dead, I want to see his corpse!


    After consuming a few medicinal pills, Fang Xing and Du Feng, who were almost completely exhausted from hunting the demonic beasts, had immediately followed the crowd over. At this moment, Gu Yan''er was still in a deep slumber; previously, she had used her own strength to hunt the demonic beasts, causing her elemental energy to be greatly damaged.


    To be honest, they did not know when Lin Tian''s position in their hearts had become so important. Gradually, in their hearts, they had already regarded Lin Tian as the boss of their group. They were naturally incomparably worried about Lin Tian''s accident ¡­


    However, something even more unsettling had happened. Ever since the beast tide had ended in the evening, everyone had rushed into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    But up until now, they still could not find any trace of Lin Tian. They could not see him alive, nor could they see his corpse ¡­


    However, this more or less made everyone feel some relief in their hearts. Compared to now, they were more afraid of suddenly seeing Lin Tian''s corpse ¡­


    After searching for an unknown amount of time, Ling Tianlie suddenly felt a familiar voice coming from beside his ear.


    Ling Tianlie was both surprised and happy. This ¡­ This was his master''s voice.


    "Go back, stop searching. Tomorrow morning, there will be a result ¡­" Gu Qingyuan''s voice echoed in Ling Tianlie''s ears, in the ears of the other three instructors.


    "Lord Dean?"


    The other three instructors were shocked. However, just as they were about to ask something, they discovered that there were no traces of Gu Qingyuan. Even his aura had disappeared without a trace.


    "Master ¡­" A light flashed between Ling Tian''s brows, but then he could not help but frown as he said: "Master, what does that mean? Could it be that Tian''er is still alive?"


    Although everyone still had their doubts, Gu Qingyuan had spoken. It was impossible for everyone to not take him seriously.


    Everyone followed the instructors in succession and returned to Sky City.


    "Alright, everything has been arranged. Let''s go." Gu Qingyuan''s silhouette appeared beside the Emperor once again.


    So what he said was that he still had things to do, which was to not let everyone continue searching for Lin Tian''s whereabouts.


    The king nodded. Just as the two of them were about to leave, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from somewhere.


    The king and Gu Qingyuan were both stunned. However, they quickly looked at each other and laughed, "Haha, this brat, he actually broke through so quickly ¡­"


    It turned out that Lin Tian had broken through and attracted the attention of the surrounding auras.


    "I''ve come to help you conceal this aura!" The next moment, the king was a bit further away. Afterwards, the aura around Lin Tian was immediately concealed by an even more powerful aura.


    "You, this is ¡­" Gu Qingyuan was somewhat puzzled.


    "Don''t you think that tomorrow morning, when he returns to the Sky City, not only will everyone feel no harm in seeing him, even his strength will increase quite a bit. Wouldn''t it be interesting?" The king laughed and his figure completely disappeared into thin air.


    Gu Qingyuan also shook his head. After which, his body slightly trembled before he disappeared from this place.


    Not far away, Lin Tian''s aura fiercely shook. In the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and laughed loudly: "This Great Blood Clotting Technique is indeed peerless. It has finally reached the second level of the Aurous Core Stage!"


    At this moment, the greater demons in front of Lin Tian were only left with half of their numbers.


    Lin Tian had actually refined half of the Demon Lord''s blood essence to finally break through to the 1st level. From this, it could be seen how difficult his breakthrough was.


    However, because of the difficulty, every time Lin Tian made a breakthrough, his true strength and battle strength would increase by a huge leap.


    "Continue!" Lin Tian didn''t think too much and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

 C247

    Lin Tian also didn''t know how long he had cultivated like this. Only when Lin Tian felt his whirlpool of dantian once again shake, a wave of incomparably enormous aura instantly surged out from Lin Tian''s aurous core did Lin Tian abruptly open his eyes.


    "Third level of the Aurous Core stage!" Lin Tian''s face was filled with joy as he shouted.


    In a short night, Lin Tian broke through from the first level of the Aurous Core Stage to the third level of the Aurous Core Stage. Of course, all of this was completely due to the Blood Solidification Realm.


    The power of the Great Blood Coagulation Art had truly lifted Lin Tian''s spirits.


    At this time, more than half of the hundred or so greater demons had been consumed by Lin Tian. Lin Tian was a bit unsatisfied, but looking at the sky, Lin Tian still stopped thinking about continuing his cultivation.


    At this time, the sky was already breaking and very soon it would be day and it was not suitable for him to continue cultivating. More importantly, the remaining greater demons were not enough to support Lin Tian breaking through to the next layer.


    Moreover, if one''s cultivation speed was too fast, causing one''s foundation to be unstable, then the gains would not make up for the losses.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not continue to think about it. He waved his hand and put all of the remaining greater demons into the stone tablet space.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly made a move, completely destroying all traces of this place. Soon after, Lin Tian hurried back to Sky City, he just remembered that from the beginning, he had not returned for a day and a half.


    They must have thought that he had died at the hands of the monster fox ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not hesitate and his speed reached its limit. He quickly rushed towards Sky City.


    At this moment in front of Sky City, teams of guards were coming out from the city, neatly arriving at the north gate. Their mission was very simple, they wanted to carry all these demon beasts back.


    The number of demon beasts hunted outside the north gate was countless, but these demon beasts were all public property and not personal possessions. Therefore, these demon beasts had to be taken back to Sky City at this moment.


    Of course, these matters were not things the students of the Azure Province needed to worry about, nor were they under their jurisdiction.


    In the end, all of this was handled by the City Lord of Sky Space City, Luo Jiang.


    However, the group of students were extremely puzzled. They looked at the scene in front of them in a daze and didn''t know what to do.


    The reason was simple. They all looked around and clearly saw the Monstrous Beast. However, within these Monstrous Beasts, not a single one was a rank 3 Monstrous Beast.


    The leader carefully rubbed his eyes and then shouted loudly, "What the f * ck, where are those Diremonsters?"


    "I don''t know ¡­" Everyone looked at each other. They had no idea where the demons were ¡­


    It turned out that in the beast tide yesterday, the city lord of Sky Space City, Luo Jiang, had already set his eyes on the great demons surrounding the beast kings.


    These Greater Demons were all Rank 3 Demonic Beasts, comparable to Aurous Core stage cultivators. However, they all possessed Demonic Cores within their bodies, which was not a small amount of wealth.


    Therefore, the first thing that Lou Jiang wanted to do was to get everyone to look for the existence of the greater demons.


    But now, these greater demons had vanished without a trace.


    They were all stupefied, unable to come up with a solution to this matter.


    If they really lost these demons, how would they go back and explain it to River County?


    However, after hesitating for a moment, that commander still sent someone to find River and reported this matter to him.


    When River heard this, he immediately became furious. However, when he thought about it again, could it be that the students of Qingzhou Academy had done something?


    When he thought of this, River went straight to those from the Qingzhou School. At this moment, those students had not left, and their teachers were still around.


    As soon as they arrived, River County gave these students and coaches some compliments. However, soon after, it was time to ask about this matter.


    When Ling Tianlie, Zhang Feng, and the two teachers from the Northern Courtyard heard about this, they were slightly startled. Since the night before, they had been searching for Lin Tian''s whereabouts and could not do anything to him.


    However, they could not guarantee for the other students, so they did not hesitate at all. They gathered the students from their respective academies and directly asked them about this matter. Of course, the results were all denials.


    The other students had gone through a great battle yesterday and had consumed a great deal of energy. By the time they returned to Sky City in the evening, they had already gone to sleep.


    This made River County even more puzzled.


    Even if those greater demons were dead, it was impossible for them to fly away on their wings. However, the rules of the Azure Province had always been strict. Since these students said that they didn''t touch those greater demons, then they couldn''t.


    But, where did those Diremonsters go?


    This way, the whereabouts of those greater demons became an unsolved case ¡­


    There was nothing Luo Jiang could do. He could only ask that guard to go back and tell the other guards. He didn''t care about the whereabouts of the greater demons for now, and wanted to collect the corpses of the other demon beasts as soon as possible.


    Otherwise, he would be afraid that the remaining demon beasts would also disappear without a trace ¡­


    However, even though this was the case, River was still a little angry. He could not help but curse: "Which damned bastard swept away those greater demons ¡­"


    One had to know that it wasn''t a small amount of wealth. There were over a hundred corpses of greater demons, all of whom were comparable to Aurous Core stage cultivators.


    Not only did they possess Demonic Cores, but their entire bodies were also filled with treasures. A Rank 3 high grade Demonic Beast was worth tens of thousands of high-grade Spirit Stones. However, these countless Spirit Stones were all gone just like that ¡­


    River was very depressed, but there was nothing he could do.


    At this time, Lin Tian, who was hurrying along, suddenly sneezed a few times. His face was full of doubt: "Who is cursing me?"


    When Lin Tian returned to the north gate of Sky City, he saw squadrons of guards and they were currently collecting the corpses of demon beasts.


    Lin Tian somewhat guiltily rubbed his nose, then quietly entered the city.


    He had the Northern Courtyard''s Disciple Token, but no one stopped him.


    When he arrived at the Northern Courtyard''s resting area, he discovered that the instructors of the four great academies were all there. The students of the four great academies were also standing in a neat row outside.


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief, but he suddenly heard the coaches inside discussing something.


    Lin Tian heard a few sentences and finally heard them. So it turned out that the one these instructors were talking about was none other than himself.


    "Master previously said that there would naturally be a result this morning, but he did not say whether that little bastard Lin Tian is alive or dead ¡­" At this moment, Ling Tianlie''s face was filled with anxiety and unease. However, it was Gu Qingyuan who had given the order last night. It was impossible for him to not listen.


    But last night, Gu Qingyuan hadn''t told them whether Lin Tian was alive or dead.


    "That''s right, President. Why didn''t you tell us about this result? Could it be that he has already seen Lin Tian?" Zhang Feng was also puzzled. With Lin Tian''s talent, it was impossible for Gu Qingyuan to not care about Lin Tian. He was this year''s most talented student, not a single one of them ¡­


    "As expected from grandmaster ¡­" Outside, Lin Tian listened in on everyone''s discussions. However, from their words, Lin Tian was basically certain that the person who spied on him last night and helped him erase the black robed person''s traces was Gu Qingyuan.


    However, he did not expect that the few of them would also meet Gu Qingyuan.


    Just as he was hesitating, a surprised and happy voice suddenly sounded from the distance.


    "Lin Tian!"


    This voice not only scared Lin Tian, but at this time the people in the room were also startled. But soon after, everyone reacted.


    Ling Tianlie and Zhang Feng''s faces were filled with wild joy.


    Lin Tian!


    That brat actually came back!

 C248

    Only now did Lin Tian come to his senses. The person who had called out to him just now was none other than Fang Xing.


    Fang Xing and Du Feng were also standing in the middle of the group of students. They hadn''t noticed Lin Tian just now, but now they swept their gaze around and discovered that Lin Tian was standing outside the room, sneakily trying to figure out what he was doing.


    At this moment, a shout sounded out, immediately calling out the few people inside.


    "Lin Tian!"


    "Lin Tian!"


    In an instant, several instructors that came out in succession saw Lin Tian. They all blurted out Lin Tian''s name ¡­


    "Uncle master?" Lin Tian saw the first Ling Tian Lie to rush out, and was immediately startled. Obviously, he did not expect that this beast tide would actually come for Master Uncle.


    "Instructor Zhang, Instructor Wang, Instructor Li ¡­" Lin Tian''s gaze swept across the instructors behind Ling Tianlie and he immediately bowed.


    "You little bastard. Let this old man have a good meal!" At this moment, Ling Tian Lie''s face was filled with excitement. He arrived in front of Lin Tian and heavily slapped Lin Tian''s shoulder.


    The slap nearly caused Lin Tian to stagger and fall to the ground ¡­


    Lin Tian helplessly looked at his master''s uncle and then exaggerated: "Master uncle, are you preparing to kill this disciple with a single slap?"


    Only now did Ling Tianlie realize that he had used a little too much strength. He chuckled and said, "Little bastard, we had almost looked for you last night. If not for your grandmaster asking us to come back and wait, we would have searched the entire Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range near Sky City ¡­"


    Ling Tian Lie finally reacted. Although Gu Qing Yuan did not say whether Lin Tian was dead or alive, but asking them to come back and wait proved that Lin Tian was fine. If something happened to Lin Tian, with Gu Qing Yuan''s personality, how could he still be so relaxed?


    However, at that time, Ling Tianlie had been too anxious and did not understand what had happened.


    At this moment, Zhang Feng saw that Lin Tian was fine and a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. This kid carried the hope of the Northern Courtyard. He didn''t want anything to happen to Lin Tian.


    Seeing that Lin Tian was fine, Zhang Feng started to relax.


    Although the competition between the East, West, and North Courtyard was very fierce, it was always an internal conflict. If there was a problem, the East, West, and North Courtyard represented the Azure Province Institute, so they would be united with the outside world. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the teachers of the South and West Courtyard to follow Zhang Feng and Ling Tianlie to find Lin Tian.


    Towards Lin Tian, they did not have any sort of enmity towards him. Even though Lin Tian represented the Northern Courtyard, and with his strength, he would even suppress the geniuses of their branch when facing the internal competition, this was only within the internal competition. After arriving at the Sky City, all of them represented the Azure Province Academy.


    In the Beast Upheaval mission, Lin Tian suddenly shone so brilliantly. When everyone talked about this matter in the future, they would only talk about the Azure Province''s student Lin Tian.


    This was the pride of all the students and teachers in the Azure Province. There was no difference between north, south, east or west.


    When the other students saw Lin Tian, they were also a bit excited.


    They already knew Lin Tian''s strength in the Green Province preliminaries, but yesterday, Lin Tian''s performance in the beast tide had completely made all the other students submit.


    Without Lin Tian, it was very likely that the monster tide would still continue. Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that Lin Tian had used his own strength to forcefully push back the layers of protection of the Beast King, which was amidst the army of thousands of demonic beasts. Only then did he give all of the students a chance to act, and they all worked together to solve the crisis of the beast tide.


    It could be said that in this beast tide, Lin Tian was the number one meritorious general.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that Lin Tian did not have any airs of arrogance. He was not like the other geniuses in the slightest, aloof, or even having an overbearing attitude.


    At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Tian and felt strangely close. After all, this was the first time the new students had participated in a mission like this, and they were already able to complete the monster tide mission in such an outstanding manner.


    Lin Tian was their outstanding representative. With Lin Tian, they didn''t need to worry. Later on, in front of the seniors, they would lower their heads.


    It had to be known that this time, there were seniors who had also come. They had all personally witnessed Lin Tian''s magnificent feat. This was something that even seniors like them couldn''t do.


    At this time, seeing that Lin Tian had returned unharmed, it naturally proved that Lin Tian had also killed the Beast King. Even if they hadn''t hunted him down, to be able to escape from the hands of the Beast King was enough to make them feel proud.


    So, it was unknown who had the first idea and shouted out Lin Tian''s name.


    The rest of the students also began shouting at Lin Tian.


    "Lin Tian!"


    "Lin Tian!"


    "Lin Tian!"


    A rock raised a thousand ripples. All of the students were currently loudly shouting Lin Tian''s name. Obviously, they already saw Lin Tian as the hero in their hearts.


    Lin Tian heard the crowd and kept on calling out his name. He was slightly startled, but he still cupped his hands and said: "Thank you everyone, but without everyone''s efforts this time, there is no way to resolve this crisis, so Lin Tian doesn''t dare to take credit. Here, I thank everyone ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s words caused all the students to have a favorable impression of him.


    At this moment, Fang Xing and Du Feng were standing beside Lin Tian, quietly looking at the crowd around them. They continuously called out Lin Tian''s name as if they were worshipping him. Fang Xing''s heart was also incomparably agitated.


    At this time, among the crowd of disciples, there were also Lin Tian''s previous opponents, Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Su Tian. All of these people were looking at Lin Tian with some unhappiness in their hearts.


    Even they had no choice but to admit that this time, Lin Tian really did shine brilliantly in the beast tide. This time, Lin Tian declared that after all, his name shook the four great academies and he became the best representative for the new students ¡­ ¡­


    The other coaches were also somewhat excited as they watched this scene.


    Ling Tian Lie was Lin Tian Lie''s grand uncle and could be considered one of his own. Now that he saw his martial nephew enjoy such a high reputation among the new students, he could not help but feel pleased with himself. His junior brother had not been kind to others and had lived a miserable life, but having such an outstanding disciple was enough to make up for everything.


    In the future, no matter how many years passed, as long as someone remembered Lin Tian''s name, they would remember the name Xiao Yunhai.


    Because Xiao Yunhai was Lin Tian''s master!


    Zhang Feng was also a bit excited as his eyes turned red.


    How ¡­ how many years had it been since he had seen such a scene?


    The Northern Courtyard had been weak for many years, and even with the white-robed Saint Child, Ji Fangge had never enjoyed such treatment.


    After all, one Ji Fangge could not match up to the numerous geniuses from the other three academies.


    Even the brightest star in the sky could not block out the radiance of the other stars.


    Especially one, but it was different now.


    There was also Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing. The Northern Courtyard would have a few more stars this year ¡­


    One wouldn''t do, but two, three, four?


    That was enough. Four of the brightest stars were enough to cover a large area of the starry sky!


    Moreover, this time, it wasn''t the Northern Courtyard disciples who first shouted out Lin Tian''s name, but the students of other branches. Moreover, other than the Northern Courtyard, the Eastern Courtyard, Western Courtyard, and Southern Courtyard students were all loudly shouting out Lin Tian''s name.


    The name of Lin Tian would be completely imprinted into everyone''s heart during this beast tide.


    No one would ever forget this. A young man, standing amidst thousands of beasts, forcing back the king of beasts, removing the threat of Sky City''s beast tide!


    For example, Lin Tian had killed the Bone Flute Young Master, Song Qingyu, and that Beast King Demon Fox had already been devoured by Lin Tian''s Icy Silkworm. For example, Lin Tian had obtained the Blood Solidification Realm, and the current Lin Tian was using the blood essence of the greater demons to advance to the third level of the Aurous Core Stage ¡­


    He didn''t know what they would think of Lin Tian if they knew about this ¡­


    At that time, Gu Yan''er had used her own source energy to injure her foundation. Although Lin Tian had fed his own blood, he was not here right now, which meant that he was still unconscious.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian directly asked Fang Xing. When he found out that Gu Yan''er was still unconscious, Lin Tian didn''t have enough time to say anything and directly followed Fang Xing to the room that Gu Yan''er was resting in.

 C249

    Arriving at Gu Yan''er''s room, Lin Tian''s heart suddenly sank as he looked at the still sleeping Gu Yan''er.


    "From yesterday, she had lost all her strength and fainted. Until now, she hasn''t woken up even once?" Lin Tian asked in a deep voice.


    "Yes, I haven''t." Yesterday, Gu Yan''er had fallen into a deep sleep and someone was specially responsible for taking care of her. Unfortunately, from yesterday until today, Gu Yan''er had never woken up ¡­


    Lin Tian checked Gu Yan''er''s breath, her breathing was normal, and then he checked Gu Yan''er''s pulse, which was also normal.


    "Huh?" Lin Tian was a bit confused. Now it seemed that Gu Yan''er''s pulse, heartbeat, and breathing were no different from a normal person''s, but why did it have to be in a state of unconsciousness?


    "What''s the reason?" Lin Tian was not a physician, so he couldn''t really understand what was going on. Furthermore, Gu Yan''er''s physique was unique and she had a unique poison body. She was definitely different from a normal person.


    After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian began to enter the Divine Manor and tried to communicate with the sleeping Horned Demon.


    In his current situation, there was probably only Horned Demon who could answer this question.


    But even after a long conversation, there was still no response from Hornless.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before letting Fang Xing and Du Feng leave first. Only Lin Tian and Gu Yan''er were left in the room.


    He wanted to try another method, which was to once again feed Gu Yan''er his blood.


    He was the descendant of an ancestor dragon. The blood in his body was dragon blood. Although it wasn''t pure, it was enough for these people.


    Previously, she was unable to suppress the poison in Gu Yan''er''s body. Lin Tian had relied on his own blood to refine the pill and feed it to Gu Yan''er, helping her suppress the poison in his body.


    Right now, Lin Tian guessed that it was because the poison in Gu Yan''er''s body once again exploded out, causing her to be unable to endure it. That was why she was unconscious.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly cut open his middle finger and placed it next to Gu Yan''er''s mouth. Droplets of exceptionally pure and faintly glowing golden blood immediately dripped into Gu Yan''er''s mouth.


    However, Lin Tian did not dare to feed it too much. It was only ten drops, and he stopped his wound.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er also started to have some changes.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er''s face was filled with waves of terrifying red. At the same time, a misty white mist suddenly appeared on Gu Yan''er''s forehead.


    Lin Tian unblinkingly looked at Gu Yan''er''s change, his heart somewhat perturbed.


    Before long, Gu Yan''er''s body began to tremble violently.


    In the next moment, Gu Yan''er''s body suddenly shot out a strong stream of black smoke.


    But after the black qi was ejected, Lin Tian suddenly felt that his Divine Palace was slightly shaking.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but in the next moment, a dragon soul''s roar sounded out from within his body.


    Lin Tian returned to his senses and said with surprise and suspicion: "Hornless?"


    Within Lin Tian''s body, a transparent dragon soul body suddenly drilled out. The dragon soul body circled in the air, and after coming out, the Horned Demon opened his mouth and swallowed the black qi that had erupted from Gu Yan''er''s body.


    "Hmm?" Right now, the Horned Demon was still closing his eyes, as if all of this was due to his instincts. Because he had his eyes closed, without even needing to think about it, it was obvious that the Horned Dragon was still sleeping.


    That should be because the black qi had stimulated the horned man to the point where he almost instinctively drilled out of Lin Tian''s body, devouring the black qi.


    After swallowing the black Qi, everything was not over yet. This was because Gu Yan''er''s body was currently still shaking non-stop. As Gu Yan''er''s body trembled, waves of black Qi immediately surged out from Gu Yan''er''s body.


    The black qi did not fall at all. All of them were completely devoured by the horned dragon that occupied the sky.


    As the Horned Demon swallowed the black Qi, the originally tightly shut eyes of the Horned Demon finally blinked a few times. In the next moment, the Horned Demon suddenly opened his eyes and a golden light shot out from his eyes and landed on Gu Yan''er''s body.


    "Little girl, since I''ve obtained your benefits, I can''t let you gain it for nothing. Allow me to lend you a hand!" Horned Demon laughed out loud and said these words.


    As the golden light from the eyes of the horned figure landed on Gu Yan''er''s body, her originally violently trembling body suddenly began to slowly calm down.


    He did not know what was going on, but he knew that the Horned Demon would definitely not harm Gu Yan''er, that was enough. He took a few steps back, and at this moment, he carefully observed Gu Yan''er''s change.


    At this moment, the black gas was no longer ejected from Gu Yan''er''s body. Instead, it was quietly lying inside her body.


    Lin Tian''s soul moved and his Spiritual Energy began to detect the changes in Gu Yan''er.


    Through the power of his soul, Lin Tian could currently see very clearly that within Gu Yan''er''s body, there was a frightening power flowing. The power was quickly flowing through Gu Yan''er''s body, however, the speed at which the power moved was extremely terrifying.


    Every time she attacked, Gu Yan''er would be affected, and it was obvious that she couldn''t take it any longer.


    However, at this moment, there was another strand of power within Gu Yan''er''s body. It was currently emitting a golden light as it helped to straighten out the abnormally violent power within Gu Yan''er''s body.


    The process was extremely slow, but it was extremely effective. Gu Yan''er''s body was no longer trembling like before. Not only that, the blood in her body also began to flow faster.


    Not long after, the Horned Demon stopped his movements and went back into Lin Tian''s body.


    "Hornless?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but communicate with Horned Demon.


    "Good, good, I never thought that I would get such pure Upper Sky Qi!" The Horned Demon laughed heartily and then said to Lin Tian, "Brat, this time around, with the help of this innate essence energy, I can completely repair the injuries I suffered previously due to concealing my destiny ¡­"


    "Upper Sky Qi? What is that?" Lin Tian asked in confusion.


    "Kid, do you know why this little girl suddenly fainted?" Hornless did not directly answer Lin Tian''s question, but asked a question to Lin Tian Fa.


    "I don''t know." Lin Tian shook his head. He had felt it to be strange just now. Gu Yan''er looked like a normal person, but she was still in a deep sleep and had yet to wake up.

 C250

    "The most fundamental reason is because of this girl''s physique ¡­" Horned Demon replied indifferently at this moment.


    "Physique?" Lin Tian knit his brows: "Are you talking about the natural poison ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian naturally knew that Gu Yan''er had a natural poison body, but this natural poison body, was there something strange he didn''t know about?


    "Not completely ¡­" Horned Demon suddenly said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "What?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief as he shouted at the Horned Demon, "Previously, wasn''t this Innate Poison you told me about?"


    "I was the one who told you that it was the right one, but there are times when I was wrong. This little girl''s physique is much scarier than her innate poison ¡­" Hornless said in embarrassment.


    "Hmm?" It was even more terrifying than the natural poison body. It had to be known that in this beast tide, Lin Tian had already felt the frightfulness of the innate poison body.


    A single Poison Body was comparable to thousands of men and horses!


    He really wasn''t just saying that.


    "This little girl''s physique, I only just noticed her a moment ago. She actually ¡ª" Horned Demon paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Woeful Poison Body!"


    "Woeful Poison Body?" He only had a limited understanding of this sort of terrifying physique, but he also knew that this Woeful Poison Body was most likely an extremely terrifying physique. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Horned Demon to have such a reaction.


    "That''s right, Woeful Poison Body." Horned Demon nodded and asked again, "Brat, let me ask you, is the Innate Poison Body that scary?"


    "Of course it''s scary!" In the beast tide, Lin Tian had already personally witnessed it.


    "Then, if I were to tell you that this Woeful Poison Body is a thousand times, ten thousand times or even several hundred thousand times more frightening than the natural poison body, how would you feel?" Horned Demon opened his mouth again, but this time, it completely shocked Lin Tian.


    "A thousand times, ten thousand times, hundreds of thousands of times?" Lin Tian incredulously repeated the words of the Horned Demon. He felt that his mouth was somewhat dry and his heart was continuously violently beating.


    "That''s right. Once the Woeful Poison Body is developed to its limit, it can indeed reach such a terrifying level." Hornless nodded.


    "Then she ¡­" Lin Tian hadn''t finished asking when Horned Demon interrupted him.


    "I know what you want to ask, so I won''t keep you in suspense. I will clearly explain this matter to you from beginning to end ¡­" Hornless seemed to be in a hurry.


    "In the beginning, I didn''t notice that little lass''s Woeful Poison Body and thought that it was an ordinary poison body. But now that I think about it, perhaps I have some clues about it from before. It''s just that I didn''t notice it ¡­" Horned Demon casually explained.


    "Do you still remember the situation when you first met this little girl?" Hornless asked.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head. That was the first time he had met Gu Yan''er in the Heavenly Thunder City. At that time, Gu Yan''er''s face was covered with terrifying scars.


    It was extremely terrifying. At that time, in order to obtain the azure roc egg, Lin Tian had used his dragon blood to refine ten blood cores. Only then did he obtain the azure roc egg and awaken the ice silkworm.


    "Back then, I did not think too much about it. I merely thought that it was a pure poison body. However, now that I think about it, if it was only an ordinary poison body, how could there possibly be such a frightening poison power in her body?" The Horned Demon smiled and said, "A normal poisonous body can completely borrow the strength of ordinary medicinal pellets and secret treasures to suppress it."


    "Do you think that her family background is that of an ordinary faction if Gu Yan''er is able to take out a thing like a ''Green Roc''s egg''?" Hornless asked again.


    This time, without waiting for Lin Tian''s reply, Horned Demon once again said: "Naturally, it''s not an ordinary faction. But do you think that these powers won''t be able to find a way to solve Gu Yan''er''s problem, or perhaps they won''t be able to find any pills or medicinal ingredients to control the poison in her body?"


    "So, the problem is clear now. It''s not that they can''t find a solution to it, but because the poisonous strength in her body is too terrifying. Ordinary medicinal pills and secret treasures are unsolvable ¡­"


    When Hornless said this, Lin Tian immediately felt enlightened.


    No wonder. No wonder she needed his dragon blood to suppress the poison in her body.


    "However, it is also because of this that your dragon blood is effective. Of course, it is also because Gu Yan''er has yet to use the poison in her body that your dragon blood can be temporarily suppressed." Horned Demon smiled and continued, "Afterwards, she embarked on the road of cultivation and relied on her own cultivation to suppress the poison. Moreover, the poison power made her far surpass ordinary geniuses. Very quickly, she reached her current level."


    At this point, Hornless sighed once again. "This girl is now an Aurous Core stage expert ¡­"


    "Jindan!" Lin Tian opened his eyes wide, he was in disbelief, "How long has she been cultivating for?"


    It had only been half a year since she met Gu Yan''er. She had actually reached the Aurous Core stage?


    One must know that when Lin Tian first met Gu Yan''er, Gu Yan''er had yet to set foot on the road of martial cultivation.


    But now, he had reached the Aurous Core stage?


    He, Lin Tian, had today''s achievements. To reach the Aurous Core stage, just how much time had he spent and how much he had spent, only he himself knew. But Gu Yan''er had so casually reached the Aurous Core stage?


    It is truly infuriating to compare oneself to another ¡­]


    Lin Tian helplessly smiled and continued to listen to Horned Demon''s words.


    "That''s right, Jindan. This time''s beast tide crisis caused her to use her own source energy, and triggered her Woeful Poison Body. Earlier, you fed her dragon blood, so she has already begun to awaken her Woeful Poison Body''s power."


    "However, this process is very long, which is why she has been unconscious for so long. However, by accident, you managed to feed her the dragon blood, which somehow triggered the process of her awakening ¡­"


    With Horned Demon''s explanation, Lin Tian completely understood.


    His own dragon blood accelerated the process of her awakening due to some strange circumstances.


    "Then the innate energy you mentioned just now ¡­" Lin Tian asked again.


    "That is the essence energy produced by her awakening of the Woeful Poison Body. In fact, that is only part of the origin energy of her Woeful Poison Body ¡­" Horned Demon explained, "This power, to her, is unnecessary because her current body is completely unable to control this power, and this power, to me, is useful. Of course, being swallowed by me will not affect her awakening, which is why I was able to devour it ¡­"


    "What about her now?" Lin Tian asked once more. What he was most concerned about was when Gu Yan''er would wake up.


    "I''ve already helped her convert a portion of her source energy, but it will take some time to absorb it and turn it into her own energy. However, it won''t be long, don''t worry." Hornless said with relief.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded and let out a sigh of relief.


    After finding out about Gu Yan''er''s true constitution, Lin Tian was somewhat shocked, but he was still worried. Gu Yan''er had this kind of frightening strength, but he didn''t know if she could completely control it.


    "You don''t have to worry about that. It''s all unnecessary." Horned Demon seemed to know what Lin Tian was thinking and indifferently said one sentence. Then he said: "Forget it, I won''t tell you anymore. I''m going to refine that Xiantian Essence Qi."


    Saying that, the Horned Demon had already disappeared from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.

 C251

    The horned figure didn''t appear, so Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. Knowing that Gu Yan''er was actually still in the Woeful Poison Body, Lin Tian began to worry in his heart.


    To Gu Yan''er, she did not know if such a frightening physique was a blessing or a curse.


    Right now, Gu Yan''er''s body was emitting a powerful aura.


    However, this powerful aura was already much weaker than before. Earlier, when Gu Yan''er''s aura was at its strongest, it was when she had awakened the Woeful Poison Body.


    Of course, the streams of Upper Sky Qi that Gu Yan''er had spat out had also been absorbed by the Horned Demon.


    Furthermore, with the help of Horned Demon just now, the aura on Gu Yan''er''s body had gradually stabilized. Moreover, her expression had become much more normal.


    Lin Tian did not think anymore and quietly sat to the side to cultivate. At the same time, he was also waiting for Gu Yan''er to wake up.


    From the looks of Gu Yan''er''s current situation, she would likely wake up very soon.


    At this moment, all the teachers from the various branch academies had also begun to take action. They had already gathered all the students that had come to this place.


    Apart from the teachers from the Northern Courtyard, the Eastern Courtyard, the Western Courtyard, and the Southern Courtyard, all the other teachers from the Northern Courtyard went back with their respective students.


    Counting it all, it took them five to six days to finish off this beast tide. That was because they were the earliest ones to arrive. They had already been here for two to three days before the Northern Courtyard arrived.


    Originally, they had all thought that this beast tide would take at least half a month to calm it down.


    But he didn''t expect that the beast tide would calm down so quickly. Of course, all of this was because of the arrival of the Northern Courtyard students, especially Lin Tian. He practically relied on his own strength to calm the beast tide.


    However, next, the Azure Province Academy had another major event that needed to be held, and that was the Freshman Ceremony. This Freshman Ceremony was a huge examination for almost all freshmen, and from entering the Azure Province Academy to now, unknowingly, over a month had passed.


    There were still two months until the Freshmen Rites officially began.


    At that time, all the students in the four branches of the Azure Province Academy would be fighting with each other. At that time, the Freshmen Competition would be considered the biggest event in the Azure Province.


    They all needed to prepare for such a grand gathering.


    The reason why Ling Tianlie did not leave was because he wanted to say a few words to Lin Tian by himself, but after seeing that Lin Tian had not come out since entering Gu Yan''er''s room, he did not stay for long. In the west yard, after the south yard left one after another, Ling Tianlie also took the students of the east yard and left.


    However, Ling Tian Lie got Zhang Feng to give Lin Tian a few words of encouragement.


    But there was only one sentence. To the current Lin Tian, he was the most worried.


    Ling Tianlie had even asked Zhang Feng to tell Lin Tian that Xiao Yunhai was fine.


    After Ling Tianlie left, only the Northern Courtyard remained in the entire Sky City.


    However, Zhang Feng was still unable to leave. The reason was simple: Gu Yaner had not woken up yet.


    He had also asked the expelled Fang Xing and Du Feng about how Lin Tian had managed to chase the both of them out.


    However, if Lin Tian didn''t come out now, they wouldn''t dare to just barge in. If they were inside, Lin Tian would be treating Gu Yan''er''s injuries, but if they barged in and delayed the treatment, no one could afford the responsibility.


    So right now, not only Lin Tian, even Zhang Feng and all the other Northern Courtyard students were waiting for Gu Yan''er to awaken.


    At this moment, within the room, Gu Yan''er suddenly frowned slightly before letting out a moan.


    Lin Tian immediately woke up from his stupor and arrived in front of Gu Yan''er.


    Gu Yan''er''s eyelashes blinked a few times before she opened her eyes.


    "Lin Tian?" When Gu Yan''er opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Lin Tian. This caused her to be a bit suspicious.


    "Why are you here? Is the beast tide over? " Gu Yan''er could not help but ask.


    However, at this moment, she felt her entire body was filled with immense power.


    Not only that, in the next moment, she discovered that there were some strange changes in her Dantian.


    In the next moment, she abruptly came to her senses and exclaimed in surprise: "I, I broke through to the Aurous Core stage?"


    That''s right, she had already felt the presence of a Jindan in her Dantian ¡­


    "The beast tide is over, we have successfully dispersed the beast tide ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently replied, then he couldn''t help but ask: "Do you still remember what happened before?"


    "I remember, I seemed to have used my own origin energy to kill many Diremonsters. But afterwards, I seemed to have fainted because of exhaustion. What happened afterwards, I can''t remember anymore ¡­" Gu Yan''er frowned as she recalled everything that had happened.


    She hesitated for a moment and then said, "However, while I was unconscious, I seemed to have a little impression that someone had fed me something, and then, as if someone had fed me something, there was an extremely great power in my body, but I was unable to control it. After I lost consciousness, that power ran out and I wanted to control it, but I couldn''t control it, and it wasn''t until I consumed something that I was able to control it, and then, as if another power had appeared in my body, with the help of another power, I was able to control that huge power in my body, and after I controlled that power, I woke up ¡­"


    Gu Yan''er suspiciously looked at Lin Tian and then asked: "What happened on my body just now, and what was the thing I consumed? Did you feed it to me?"


    Lin Tian gently shook his head. In the instant that Gu Yan''er mentioned the change in her body, Lin Tian decided to temporarily not tell Gu Yan''er about what had happened, because Lin Tian really did not know whether the matter of the Woeful Poison Body was good or bad for Gu Yan''er ¡­


    Now that she was able to control her own strength, it was better to slowly tell her the rest.


    Gu Yan''er was even more suspicious, but Lin Tian did not say anything more. Instead, he directly said: "Alright, stop thinking about it. Teacher Zhang Feng and the others have been waiting for us. We should go back now ¡­"


    Only then did Gu Yan''er nod her head. He had a vague feeling that he had been unconscious for a long time.


    Without hesitation, Gu Yan''er tried to control the power in her body and followed Lin Tian outside the room.


    Seeing that Gu Yan''er was fine, a huge rock suddenly fell onto the ground in Zhang Feng''s heart. Gu Yan''er was only second to Lin Tian in this beast tide operation. She had given Zhang Feng a huge surprise.


    Gu Yan''er''s natural poison also shone brilliantly in this beast tide mission. Without Gu Yan''er, it would have been impossible for them to finish off the beast tide so quickly.


    Seeing that Gu Yan''er''s expression was pretty good, both Fang Xing and Du Feng relaxed.


    When his student saw Gu Yan''er, he also felt a deep fear towards her. Of course, most of them admired her. After all, Gu Yan''er had used her own actions to make everyone no longer dare to underestimate her.


    Without much hesitation, Zhang Feng took all the students and rushed out of Sky City and back to the Northern Courtyard.


    The aftermath of the beast tide had continued. The death of the bone flute young master Song Qingyu had completely shaken the Blood Demon Sect. The Blood Demon Sect had begun their investigation and had taken their next step.


    As for Lin Tian''s name, it became the biggest surprise within the beast tide this time. Whether it was the new students or the old students, the students of the four great academies from east, west, and north all knew of Lin Tian''s name.


    As for the king, after returning to the Imperial City, it was also the first time that Lin Tian''s name had been added to his list.


    And on this list, there was the white-clothed Holy Son, Ji Fangge, the top geniuses of the Inquisition, the Misty Academy, the Tiger Wolf Camp, and the Royal Academy.


    Without a doubt, in the king''s heart, the potential that Lin Tian had displayed was enough to contend against these top geniuses ¡­ ¡­

 C252

    Similarly, Lin Tian had no way of knowing about these things.


    Because after returning to the Northern Courtyard, Lin Tian continued his closed door cultivation journey.


    After he returned to the Northern Courtyard, the first thing he did was clear his military exploits.


    Their identity tokens had this function. In this beast tide mission, every student, and every demon beast they killed, would record a variety of contribution points. This contribution point was obtained based on the level of the demon beast they killed and their own strength.


    Lin Tian had killed countless stage three demons. In addition to the King of Beasts Demon Fox''s reward, it was all because of Lin Tian. This could be considered an additional reward.


    Moreover, according to the previous rules, among the beast tide missions, the one with the most outstanding performance would be rewarded 10,000 contribution points.


    In the beast tide, Lin Tian''s performance was no longer outstanding, but he relied on his own strength and completely solved the beast tide like a raging tide. Thus, it was precisely because of this that after Yang Qingtian heard of this matter, he personally ordered Lin Tian to reward him an additional ten thousand contribution points.


    A total of twenty thousand contribution points, in addition to the contribution points obtained from hunting demon beasts, Lin Tian had obtained a total of fifty thousand contribution points.


    Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er all received ten thousand contribution points each, while Gu Yan''er received twenty thousand.


    After obtaining contribution points, Lin Tian''s next choice was to exchange all of his contribution points for spirit stones.


    When Zhang Feng heard Lin Tian''s choice, he was slightly startled before asking in surprise: "Don''t you want to trade for something else? In the Mission Pavilion, there are many treasures, spiritual tools, and even pills with excellent effects..."


    Lin Tian shook his head. There were only spirit stones that Lin Tian needed. He didn''t need anything else.


    Zhang Feng didn''t ask any further and directly gave Lin Tian 110,000 high-grade spirit stones.


    Originally, Lin Tian''s 50,000 contribution points could only be exchanged for 100,000 high grade spirit stones because one contribution point could be exchanged for two high grade spirit stones. However, that Zhang Feng actually gave an extra 10,000.


    However, Lin Tian did not hesitate to accept it. After all, in this monster tide, his contribution was the greatest, so it was only right to reward him a bit more.


    After Lin Tian obtained the spirit stones, he didn''t say much and directly returned to his own cave, closing his door again.


    After all, during this period of battle, there had been enough people to help Hua Ruyi kill Jiang Fan, then kill countless demon beasts in the beast horde, and even kill Song Qingyu, breaking his killing array. In short, whether it was in the Martial Dao or the battle of Mental Energy, this time, Lin Tian seemed to have obtained a near perfect training.


    On the road of martial arts, the first thing one took a fancy to was one''s temperament, also known as the heart of martial arts. To a great extent, a heart of martial arts decided everything, even how far a martial artist could go on the road of martial arts.


    In the moment of frustration, tribulation, and life and death, Lin Tian had long since thoroughly firmed his heart for the martial way.


    He wanted to pursue an even higher level of cultivation in the Martial Dao, and he wanted to continuously become stronger.


    Not only did he have to find his parents and kill his enemies, it was also not only for Yun Huang. More importantly, it was for himself.


    That was why Lin Tian had been working so hard. This was a battle of life or death, and even a self-abusing cultivation method.


    However, he had inherited the ancestral dragon''s blood essence, so he basically didn''t need to worry about cultivation. What he needed more was to fight, to continuously fight, to temper his own willpower, and to increase his own strength.


    And the most important part of the battle to the end was summing it up and comprehending it.


    Fortunately, from the start, Lin Tian had done this, which was why his foundation was so firm. He was completely not worried about the instability of his foundation, and he had never worried about the problem of his speed at breaking through, because every step he took was incomparably firm and firm.


    This time, it was no exception. He had experienced so many battles. Naturally, he had to digest and absorb everything as soon as possible before improving himself.


    Moreover, this time, he obtained a hundred and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, in addition to the spirit stones that Hua Ruyi had given him, the current Lin Tian actually had a huge sum of nearly three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, and several thousand low-grade spirit crystals.


    Last time, before Lin Tian left, Hua Ruyi had given him a total of two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, and several thousand low-grade spirit crystals.


    These things were all in Lin Tian''s hands. Lin Tian had only used ten thousand high grade spirit stones. He had almost not used anything else.


    Therefore, there were so many Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals. In addition, there was also a portion of the corpses of the Greater Demons. In Lin Tian''s stone monument, with the help of the Blood Solidification Realm, these Greater Demons could be compared to hundreds of thousands of high-grade Spirit Stones.


    With so many resources, Lin Tian had plans to go further.


    In two months, he would be participating in the Freshmen Rankings, not to mention the freshmen, this Lin Tian didn''t care about it at all. More importantly, in the Freshmen Rankings, there would be the Clear Sky Challenge Competition, and at that time, Ji Fang Ge had told Lin Tian everything about the so-called Clear Sky Challenge Competition. At that time, all of the top hundred students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky would come, and they would be challenged by the new students.


    Moreover, at that time, the key thing was that Lin Tian still had to fight with Ji Fang Ge.


    From the top 50 of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, it had a cultivation base above the seventh level of the Aurous Core stage.


    Not to mention the top ten, they were all powerhouses at the eighth or ninth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    Last time, when Ji Fang Ge was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage, Lin Tian had also sensed his strength. Last time, when Ji Fang Ge was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage, he seemed to be able to break through at any time.


    His current level was only level three of the Aurous Core Stage, which was more or less not enough to look at.


    However, because of this sense of danger, Lin Tian did not have a trace of arrogance. Instead, he continuously worked hard in cultivation to increase his own strength.


    With so many resources, I can give it a try and charge to a higher realm ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately stopped hesitating. After sitting down cross-legged, he directly took out the greater demons'' corpses.


    At the same time, Lin Tian placed two hundred thousand spirit stones in front of him.


    "Break for me!" Lin Tian''s hands moved as he formed complex hand seals, which then landed on the corpses of the greater demons.


    The demon corpses immediately shattered and turned into streams of incomparably pure blood energy, continuously condensing.


    Not long after, drops of incomparably bright red blood droplets that similarly emitted a boundless Qi and blood energy appeared in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s mind was set and the whirlpool started to rapidly revolve within his dantian. At the same time, the golden core within Lin Tian''s whirlpool also started to violently tremble in the blink of an eye.


    The aura around Lin Tian''s body changed greatly. Not long after, a strong aura immediately engulfed everything.


    At the same time, the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array in Lin Tian''s cave was like a whale swallowing, crazily absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Aura.


    "Transform!" Lin Tian''s expression didn''t change as he once again pointed with his finger.


    The strands of blood energy immediately turned into pure and terrifying strands of spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by Lin Tian into his body.


    The spiritual energy transformed from the blood energy of a greater demon''s body, coupled with the spiritual energy provided by the Spirit Convergence Array, were like a great river, unceasingly helping Lin Tian cultivate.


    "That battle maniac is back?" Right at this moment, not far from Lin Tian, a student in a cave abode suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed that the density of Spiritual Qi in his cave was constantly decreasing and could not help but bitterly smile.


    In the same situation, a few other caves closer to Lin Tian''s cave also appeared.


    These were all students of the inner courtyard and were all students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky. However, when they met Lin Tian, they really did not have the slightest temper.


    What a joke, he was a well-known battle maniac.


    The Lin Kuang Devil that used the power of his physical body to destroy An Kang ¡­


    Even though Lin Tian''s cave was ravaging over the spiritual energy that originally belonged to them, no one dared to touch this Lin Kuang Devil''s bad luck.


    Health is a living example...


    The students of the inner courtyard wailed. At the same time, the Talisman Master Guilds of the Azure Province were also surging with undercurrents.

 C253

    Qingzhou, at the top floor of the Symbol Master Guild.


    It had been a month since the last time he had attempted to become a Rank 3 Symbol Master.


    During this one month, White Light really did not dare to continue cultivating. Last time, when he had almost broken through to the Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master stage, his mind was disturbed at a crucial moment, causing his efforts to fail. If White Light''s reaction speed was not fast enough, he would have nearly been devoured ¡­


    However, even though it was like this, he still suffered some injuries. Only now did he finally completely recover from his injuries.


    Every single time, just thinking about this matter would cause his scalp to tingle. Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, which bastard activated his formation at the most crucial moment, causing him to be affected ¡­


    But after that, Bai Guang also thought about it carefully, as if he only laid some formations in the Azure Province Academy, and that was because of that old man, Gu Qingyuan.


    Apart from this, he had never set up a formation for anyone else.


    In truth, the white light could faintly feel that the formation that had been modified seemed to be a Spirit Convergence Array.


    He had only set up such a formation on the four branch academies of the Azure Province before.


    As a result, the area became smaller ¡­


    In this past month, White Light did not dare to continue breaking through. Instead, he chose to send people to investigate who touched his formation ¡­


    Now, the results should be out soon.


    At the same time, Symbol Master Guild, third floor.


    All the Symbol Masters of the Azure Province were gathered in the Symbol Master Guild.


    In this place, the ranks were the strictest and the strength of all Symbol Masters was on this level.


    The Symbol Master Guild had a total of four floors. The first floor was where Inferior Grade Symbol Masters gathered. The first floor also had the most rooms.


    The second level was where mid-grade and high-grade Symbol Masters gathered. Compared to the first level, the second level was much less.


    The third floor was where spirit runemasters gathered. There were only a few rooms on this floor, but the runemasters in each room were important people that were placed in the Azure Province and even in Tian Luo. They were all respected top experts, and the reason was because of their identities.


    Soul Symbol Master!


    As for the highest level, there was currently only one person, and that was the white light.


    White light was a rank two spirit runemaster. It was the only rank two spirit runemaster in the entire Azure Province.


    In the whole of Tian Luo, there were only a few level two spirit runemasters. Their bodies possessed the strength of the Dao of talismans and were incomparably terrifying.


    Bai Guang was also the president of the Azure Province''s Symbol Master Guild.


    Everyone addressed him as Old Bai.


    At this moment, the third floor.


    A figure rushed in from outside and rushed into a certain room.


    "Master ¡­" The first thing the man said upon entering the room was, "There''s news ¡­"


    At this moment, Lei Lie stopped what he was doing and hurriedly asked, "Is there any news about the person who interrupted Old Bai''s breakthrough at the crucial moment?"


    "Right." The disciple nodded. Then, after a slight hesitation, he continued, "Not only that, I also found another piece of information ¡­"


    "What news?" Lei Lie immediately raised his eyebrows. He then gently got up and closed his own door and window.


    "Master, do you remember the death of junior brother An Yuan?" The disciple suddenly said.


    "What?" Lei Lie was stunned for a moment and then said in surprise.


    If the current Lin Tian was here, from that sentence, he would know the identity of the two people in front of him. He would even know who this disciple was from the aura of that disciple.


    An Yuan was the first Charm Magician that Lin Tian had killed in the past, in King Yongan''s, Luo Lie''s mansion.


    This Lei Lie before him was the master of An Yuan whom he had killed back then.


    As for this disciple, Lin Tian had interacted with him before because on the first night they returned to Sky Dragon City from the Heavenly Thunder City, Lin Tian had been assassinated.


    However, that assassin was not Lin Tian''s opponent. Not only did he fail to assassinate him, he was almost left behind by Lin Tian.


    However, in the end, Lin Tian did not kill it and let the killer escape.


    But even so, even though the assassin escaped, Lin Tian firmly remembered the killer''s aura.


    That assassin was the disciple in front of him.


    After Lin Tian killed An Yuan, this disciple found out because every Symbol Master Guild had his own Destiny Soul Symbol. The moment the Soul Symbol was broken, this disciple informed Lei Lie.


    Lei Lie had always let this disciple investigate who killed An Yuan. Afterwards, his hard work paid off. Finally, he let him find Lin Tian''s whereabouts.


    But he was completely no match for Lin Tian. Not only was he unable to kill Lin Tian, he almost got killed instead.


    After that, Lin Tian''s whereabouts disappeared.


    Lei Lie was also unceasingly cultivating. Thus, he put this matter to the back of his mind.


    However, now that he had suddenly heard him mention this matter, Lei Lie was somewhat suspicious. Could it be that there was some sort of connection between these two matters?


    "That''s right, Master. Disciple found out that the person who changed Old Bai''s formation and caused him to fail at the very last moment was the person who killed Junior Brother An Yuan!" The disciple said to Lei Lie.


    Lei Lie had already prepared himself in his heart. However, after hearing this news, he could not help but be shocked for a moment. However, he quickly regained his senses and fell into deep thought.


    "Han Shan, if it is as you have said, and the two of them are the same person, then that brat''s Symbol Dao cultivation is likely to be a Soul Symbol Master ¡­"


    "Han Shan, what''s that person''s name?" When Lei Lie thought of this, he could not help but ask.


    The disciple called Han Shan had a sinister look on his face. Towards the injury that Lin Tian had caused, he was almost killed and it was something that he still held in his heart. He said in a low voice that was almost squeezed out from the gaps in his teeth, "Lin Tian!"


    "Lin Tian ¡­" Lei Lie once again fell into deep thought.


    At this moment, Han Shan did not stay idle and told Lei Lie everything that he had found out.


    Including how Lin Tian had entered the Azure Province. Right now, he told Lei Lie about everything, including where he was, and what the situation was like.


    "Yes." Lei Lie nodded. However, he did not say anything else.


    "Master, are we not going to avenge Junior Brother''s blood sea?" Seeing Lei Lie''s reaction, Han Shan immediately howled in pain.


    "Of course we have to take revenge. Am I, Lei Lie, the kind of person who would let his enemy off so easily?" Lei Lie naturally knew of Han Shan''s thoughts. After which, he indifferently replied, "However, this matter needs to be considered over a long period of time. According to what you have said, that brat is not weak.


    At this point, Lei Lie paused for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "There is!"


    "How is it?" Han Shan immediately asked.


    "Using a knife to kill someone!" The corner of Lei Lie''s mouth suddenly curved into a strange smile.

 C254

    "Using a knife to kill someone?" Han Shan was somewhat confused as he asked doubtfully.


    "Haha, good, let''s do it." Lei Lie did not seem to sense Han Shan''s doubt at all. Instead, he swiftly got up and said, "Han Shan, let''s go. We''ll meet Old Bai right now."


    Lei Lie pulled Han Shan''s arm and rushed out of the room. Lei Lie then added worriedly: "Han Shan, in a while, no matter what, you have to explain it as carefully as possible. Regarding Lin Tian, you don''t need to care about the rest, understand?"


    "Yes." Although Han Shan did not know what Lei Lie wanted to do, he still nodded due to his trust in Lei Lie.


    The two of them quickly arrived at the top of the tower. Lei Lie once again ran through the plan that was slowly appearing in his mind. Feeling that there were no problems, he lightly knocked on the door and said, "Old Bai, I am Lei Lie ¡­"


    "Come in." A faint voice came from inside the door.


    Just a moment ago, he was thinking that he would be able to find out about the matter, but to think that the news would arrive so soon.


    It seemed that this Lei Lie was quite a talented individual. After having handed the matter over to him, he had finally made the right decision.


    At this time, Lin Tian, who was cultivating in the Northern Courtyard''s cave, had no idea what was happening in the outside world.


    He also did not know that the Spirit Convergence Array that he had changed actually had such a fatal effect on the white light. It was because the Spirit Convergence Array that caused the white light to miss out on the opportunity to breakthrough to become a Rank 3 Symbol Master.


    At this moment, he was completely immersed in his cultivation.


    He had refined the corpse of a greater demon into refined essence energy using the Great Art of Blood Solidification and completely absorbed it.


    In addition, he had also absorbed tens of thousands of spirit stones.


    At this moment, boundless elemental energy was flowing through his meridians, spreading to his entire body.


    After all, his training was not the same as the others''. His training was all about his physical body, strength, and battle prowess.


    This was also why every time he broke through a level, he would need such a huge amount of resources. Of course, the benefits of cultivating like this was also very obvious, because every time he broke through a level, Lin Tian''s combat strength would increase by a large amount. This was also why he was able to be invincible within the same realm, and even easily fight those who were higher levels.


    Not long after, Lin Tian''s body suddenly swelled.


    The next moment, an indescribable sense of comfort rushed into his heart.


    "Fourth level of the Aurous Core stage!"


    At this moment, Lin Tian had actually already broken through to the fourth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    At the same time, Lin Tian did not hesitate and continued to strike the iron while it was hot. 4th level of the Aurous Core stage was still not enough. He still needed to cultivate and break through!


    "Lin Tian?" At this moment, Bai Guang looked at the two of them with suspicion. He was unfamiliar with this name.


    However, when Han Shan had finished explaining Lin Tian''s situation to Bai Guang ¡­


    The white light immediately frowned and said: "Interesting. Moreover, do you think that brat is a Soul Symbol Master?"


    "That''s right." Han Shan nodded his head and replied respectfully.


    "Lei Lie, let me ask you. You are also a Soul Symbol Master. However, can you easily change the formation that I have set up?" After hearing Han Shan''s words, that white light turned around and asked Lei Lie.


    Of course not." Lei Lie replied almost without hesitation: "Old Bai, you are a Rank 2 Soul Symbol Master, you should know the gap between Rank 2 and Rank 1 Soul Symbol Masters. This gap is like a huge gap and cannot be bridged. Although it has been a long time since I have become a Soul Symbol Master, I am completely unable to change the formation you have set up ¡­


    Bai Guang smiled, nodded his head in agreement.


    He also knew that this was not a flattery from Lei Lie. Rather, what Lei Lie had said was the truth.


    The gap between a Rank 2 Spirit Symbol Master and a Rank 1 Spirit Symbol Master was indeed as wide as a gulf.


    Even if that Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster, the white light still had confidence. There was no way for Lin Tian to change the array he had set up ¡­


    "If that''s the case, then this is somewhat strange. That boy should not be able to change my formation. However, if that''s the case, why would I be affected by it?" At this moment, Bai Guang was also puzzled.


    "Old Bai, I have something to say. I don''t know if I should say it ¡­" Right at this moment, Lei Lie opened his mouth hesitantly.


    "Since I sent you to investigate this matter, of course, I will take you as my trusted aide. If you have anything to say, just stop hiding it, speak..." Old Bai faintly smiled and said to Lei Lie.


    "I just have a question that I don''t understand." Lei Lie said indifferently.


    "Even if that brat is a spirit runemaster, he can''t change your array. However, when Shan''er investigated the situation, the Spirit Convergence Array was indeed altered. Moreover, only the Spirit Convergence Array in the cave of that boy called Lin Tian was tampered with ¡­"


    Lei Lie continued.


    "In that case, in other words, only the modification of that brat''s formation has affected your cultivation ¡­"


    At this point, Lei Lie suddenly stopped.


    Old Bai was a little displeased and said, "Lei Lie, if you have something to say, just say it. Don''t worry."


    "My question is, why did this thing happen? Coincidentally, that brat changed the formation, and it just so happens that you have trained it to the most critical moment. Coincidentally, he changed the formation, and it affected your cultivation, causing you to fail at the most crucial moment when you were trying to become a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master." As Lei Lie spoke, he carefully observed Old Bai''s reaction.


    As expected, when he said this, Old Bai''s brows tightened.


    Lei Lie''s question was actually a question of the light. That''s right, why was it such a coincidence? Everything was just right. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?


    "However, you and I both know that with that kid''s cultivation, it''s impossible for him to alter my formation. You don''t think that kid is a Rank Two spirit runemaster, do you?" Bai Guang asked in a deep voice.


    These two questions were a dead knot and contradictory.


    "Of course not. If that boy is a Rank 2 Spirit Symbol Master, would he still be staying in the Azure Province Academy?" Lei Lie faintly smiled and then said, "But Old Bai, have you thought of another problem?"


    "What problem?" Bai Guang couldn''t help but ask.


    "What if there''s an expert behind that kid?" Lei Lie said with a faint smile.


    "Hmm?" White Light suddenly felt that he had figured out a few things.


    However, at this moment, Lei Lie''s questions were thrown out one by one: "If the expert behind that kid is your enemy or enemy, as you are making a breakthrough, almost everyone in the Symbol Master Guild knows. If that kid was deliberately inquiring, it would be impossible to not be able to find out ¡­"


    "So?" Bai Guang asked again.


    Lei Lie''s eyes suddenly narrowed. "Therefore, my guess is that all of this is not a coincidence, but a deliberate plot against you!"


    As soon as he said that, White Light was stunned.

 C255

    White Light had never thought of this question before. However, after hearing Lei Lie''s words, he was stunned.


    Suddenly, a thought flashed through Liu Ming''s mind and he started to search through his memories.


    "That''s right, that kid is a spirit runemaster. I believe he won''t be able to change his formation. But what if there''s an expert backing him up?"


    The white light suddenly felt like it had grabbed onto a crucial point.


    Furthermore, the matter was exactly as Lei Lie had said. He was going to cultivate in seclusion and attack the Rank 3 Symbol Master. This was something that practically everyone in the Symbol Master Guild knew.


    That kid was helpless, but what if there was an expert guiding him from behind?


    Moreover, what if that expert happened to be his nemesis, or a certain opponent?


    In this way, everything would come to light. It wasn''t a coincidence that he had been interrupted at the most crucial moment in his attempt to become a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master.


    The coincidence that he started was actually a well calculated plan.


    That brat is just a chess piece ¡­


    When he thought of this, a ruthless expression surged up between the white light''s brows.


    If he were to count his opponents, there would be quite a number of enemies. If they wanted to frame him, it would not be impossible.


    At this moment, he smiled as he said to Lei Lie and Han Shan, "Alright, I know what''s going on. Lei Lie, you''ve done well in this matter, as your disciple, it has been hard searching for information. This booklet contains some of the experiences and insights I gained after breaking through to become a Rank 2 Spirit Symbol Master, and it should be useful to you. I don''t need it now, so I''ll give it to you."


    Lei Lie was stunned for a moment. However, he immediately rejected and said, "That''s not possible. This is the blood and sweat that you''ve cultivated for your entire life. Naturally, I can''t accept it ¡­"


    "Lei Lie, these words of yours are too foreign. I still need to thank you for reminding me of this. If you hadn''t reminded me, I would still be in the dark, and I wouldn''t have known that there was such a huge hidden scheme behind that man''s back." Bai Guang''s face instantly revealed a trace of displeasure. He then forcibly handed the booklet over to Lei Lie. Soul Symbol Master, you train in the path of the soul. What you''re most afraid of is taking someone else''s kindness.


    This would have a certain impact on one''s cultivation after becoming a Soul Symbol Master.


    After all, the most important aspect of the Dao of talismans was to cultivate the heart.


    Cultivating the heart was one of the biggest fears of all. If one lacked the kindness of others, it was very likely that one would grow into an inner demon in the future.


    And this time around, it could be said that White Light owed Lei Lie a favor. Therefore, White Light naturally wanted to think of a way to repay Lei Lie''s kindness.


    To White Light, this pamphlet was already useless. However, to Lei Lie, it was no different from a treasure.


    It had to be known that breaking through to the spirit runemaster level was extremely difficult, hundreds of times more difficult than breaking through to the martial dao realm.


    Therefore, having successfully broken through to the second level spirit runemaster experience and understanding was practically an opportunity that could only be found by chance and not sought.


    Not everyone could obtain such a great opportunity.


    However, right now, White Light had actually managed to give Lei Lie an immediate insight into breaking through to become a Rank 2 Spirit Symbol Master. From this, it could be seen how important the information Lei Lie gave him was.


    Lei Lie hesitated for a moment before he accepted the small booklet in the hands of Bai Guang.


    He then turned his head around and exchanged a glance with Han Shan, who was behind him.


    Lei Lie hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Old Bai, all of this, of course, is just my guess. The truth behind it all still needs you to personally verify it ¡­"


    "That''s only natural." White Light nodded. "You don''t need to say anything about that. I will naturally go."


    "How about this, Lei Lie. If you have nothing better to do, why don''t you come with me?" Bai Guang thought for a moment before speaking to Lei Lie.


    His original plan was to borrow a knife to kill someone. He was still afraid that if he went alone, then if this method of killing someone did not go according to his expectations, it would put him in a dangerous situation.


    Therefore, there was no need for that. Lei Lie had to find an excuse and go with Bai Guang.


    "It''s my honor." Lei Lie immediately said.


    Bai Guang smiled and said: "Alright, after this matter is resolved, I will recommend you to the Tian Luo headquarters to become an elder of my Green Province''s Symbol Master Guild. Now that the elder of the elders'' pavilion is old, I am afraid that your time is coming, when that time comes, as long as I am still the president of the Symbol Master Guild, you have a 90% chance of being elected ¡­"


    When Lei Lie heard these words, he could no longer remain calm. He directly knelt in front of the white light and said: "Thank you, Old Bai. Old Bai, please be at ease. I, Lei Lie, will repay this kindness. In the future, I will definitely follow Old Bai''s lead ¡­"


    White light was just too huge. It was so big that it gave Lei Lie a pleasant surprise.


    The rank within the Symbol Master Guild was extremely strict. Furthermore, it placed great importance on one''s qualifications.


    He, Lei Lie, had just broken through to the Soul Symbol Master realm not long ago. Right now, he was only a deacon, not even an elder.


    Within the Symbol Master Guild, the one with the highest position was naturally White Light. He was the president of the Symbol Master Guild, and he was the one in charge of the entire Azure Province Symbol Master Guild.


    Below the president was the elder pavilion, and within the elder pavilion was the grand elder. His status was only second to the president.


    Below him were the Elders of the Elders. Once again, it was the Enforcer.


    And then there were the ordinary charm magicians, and then there were the large number of apprentices.


    In short, if one wanted to gain power in the Symbol Master Guild, the first step was to become an elder.


    This was because the elders had the qualifications to control the Symbol Master Guild, and they also had greater resources. They even had the qualifications to listen to the teachings of some powerful Symbol Masters.


    After becoming an elder, there were countless benefits.


    Right now, this white light was obviously trying to win Lei Lie over. Lei Lie naturally couldn''t reject it, otherwise, with his own experience, if he wanted to become an elder, he would still need a few years ¡­


    A few years time, for a Charm Magician, was too long ¡­


    But since the white light had given him the opportunity to soar to the heavens in a single step, how could Lei Lie possibly let it go?


    "Un, alright, you can go and rest. In a few days, you will follow me to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. I want to see who is the expert behind me ¡­" When Bai Guang spoke till this point, his face had already become incomparably sinister: "And that boy called Lin Tian, you better be sensible for me. Otherwise, I don''t mind killing a Soul Symbol Master ¡­"


    When he said the last words, the white light was like ice.


    After hearing Bai Guang''s words, Lei Lie immediately relaxed. This was the result he wanted.


    His plan of killing using the blade was originally to borrow the power of the white light to kill Lin Tian. After all, that brat Lin Tian had killed his disciple. Lei Lie never wanted to let go of the person who killed his disciple.


    It was already enough that White light had such thoughts after his lobbying.


    He had succeeded in his plan to borrow a knife to kill.


    Lei Lie and Han Shan didn''t linger and directly left respectfully.


    "Master, I''m convinced. I''m really convinced ¡­" After he returned to his own room, Han Shan Deng immediately spoke to Lei Lie.


    It was just a round of lobbying, yet it turned the things that were originally unwarranted into reality. If everything went well, not only would he be able to borrow the hand of light, but also Lin Tian. This time, Lei Lie''s gains could be considered endless.


    To be able to borrow a knife to kill someone, it is truly wonderful ¡­


    "Ke ke, however, this time around, there is some unexpected surprise ¡­" Lei Lie said plainly. Then, he said, "Alright, continue asking around for any movements of that brat. I''ll go into closed door cultivation for a few days first ¡­"

 C256

    Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, North Courtyard encampment, Lin Tian''s cave.


    In front of Lin Tian was the fine powder of the spirit stone that had been used up. The thick powder was placed in front of Lin Tian and was several stories high.


    But at this time, Lin Tian was still cultivating. After who knows how long, Lin Tian''s body suddenly shook violently. The next moment, a huge light suddenly exploded out from within his body.


    Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of foul air. Feeling the surging power in his body, he softly said: "Finally, finally, it''s the fifth level of the Aurous Core ¡­"


    But Lin Tian looked at the spirit stone slags in front of his eyes and couldn''t help but be speechless: "This ¡­ .this three hundred thousand spirit stones is just going to end like this?"


    Three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, which was the contribution points Lin Tian received from hunting the demon beasts. He had exchanged it for one hundred thousand and Hua Ruoyi had given him two hundred thousand spirit stones. His total was over three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.


    It disappeared just like that ¡­


    Not to mention the demon beast blood essence that he had refined using the Great Art of Blood Solidification ¡­


    In total, from the first level of the Aurous Core Stage to the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, Lin Tian had only broken through the fourth level. However, he had refined more than 100 Rank 3 greater demons'' blood essence and had also consumed 300,000 high grade spirit stones.


    Based on this estimate, every time Lin Tian broke through a stage, he would have consumed about two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones ¡­ ¡­


    If he were to calculate it this way, his body would truly be a bottomless pit ¡­


    At the same time that Lin Tian was somewhat shocked, he also became deeply worried for the future.


    If the consumption continued, who could sustain such cultivation ¡­


    However, it was a good thing that the Great Blood Coagulation Art that he had obtained could help him survive for a while. After all, the Great Blood Coagulation Art only required the blood of demon beasts.


    This wasn''t difficult. Lin Tian could just soak in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range in the future and hunt demon beasts and use them to cultivate.


    However, after breaking through to the fifth level, Lin Tian stopped cultivating. The fifth level was enough for him to deal with the situation that was coming up.


    Haste made waste and Lin Tian had always sought stability. He had requested that every step he took be extremely firm and stable.


    So, after reaching the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, Lin Tian decided that next, it was time to fight in actual combat and begin to consolidate his own realm.


    Lin Tian packed up simply and directly dove into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    The purpose of entering the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was to first fight with the demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. From then on, he would help Lin Tian consolidate his cultivation.


    Another point was that with the Blood Solidification Realm in his possession, the high level demon beasts now were comparable to spirit stones to Lin Tian. The innumerable demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range were his cultivation resources.


    Of course, Lin Tian had another goal, and that was to train his martial arts.


    Especially the spear art of the Dragon''s Tomb.


    Before Lin Tian, he had only practiced the first two moves because there seemed to be a limit to this martial art. Only when the first two moves, namely the Killing technique and the afterimage, were cultivated to the Great Perfection Stage would they be able to begin practicing the latter two moves.


    This was because although the spear techniques of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb were a complete system, they were all independent between each move.


    Previously in the monster tide, Lin Tian had actually practiced the first two moves to the large success stage.


    There was still some distance to complete mastery. However, this time around, it was just right for him to once again comprehend the two types of Spear Arts. He needed to quickly master the Spear Art to the perfection stage before beginning the next two moves.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Deng felt that he was full of energy. He immediately rushed towards the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Lin Tian wasn''t cultivating in the cave and the speed at which the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was absorbing Spiritual Aura also slowed down.


    All of the students who were closer to Lin Tian immediately felt that their cave began to slowly gather spirit energy ¡­


    Everyone was on the verge of tears of happiness.


    "That Lin Kuang Devil has finally left ¡­" Some almost cried tears of joy.


    In this period of time that Lin Tian cultivated, their abode was no different from an ordinary abode. They couldn''t gather any spirit energy at all, so they might as well not stay in this abode.


    Who said that with a Spirit Convergence Array, the abode would be filled with spirit energy?


    If there was no such thing as spiritual energy, the entire cave wouldn''t be able to hold it in.


    They almost wanted to leave this cave dwelling because Lin Tian''s cave dwelling was practically berserk as it plundered the spirit energy in their cave ¡­


    Lin Tian did not know that the plot against him was about to come, nor did he know what the students in the cave were thinking. He only knew that the pressure on his cultivation would be extremely great.


    After all, the Freshman Competition was about to begin!


    "Bang!" A flower of blood suddenly exploded. Lin Tian''s spear pierced through the head of a third level first rank demon beast. After that, he put the demon beast''s corpse into the stone tablet.


    This was already Lin Tian''s third day in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Dozens of demon beasts had been hunted.


    In these three days, Lin Tian continuously used Sky Dragon Burial''s spear skills. Other than that, Lin Tian did not use a single martial skill. All of the martial arts were the two moves, Death Kill and Shadow.


    However, Lin Tian always felt that it was a bit weird. It seemed like he was only missing a layer of paper from the Perfection Stage, but no matter how hard Lin Tian tried, that layer of paper was never broken.


    Was it because the strength of the demonic beasts he had killed was too weak, that prevented him from unleashing his potential?


    In the past few days, Lin Tian had encountered almost all demon beasts below the Third Stage Fifth Stage. In other words, they were demon beasts that were comparable to a human Fifth Stage Golden Core martial artist.


    Lin Tian was an expert at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage. His strength was already much stronger than these demon beasts, so he did not waste much effort. Those demon beasts were all instantly killed with a single spear.


    Lin Tian guessed that it was because of this that the effect couldn''t be achieved.


    "Do we still have to kill stronger demon beasts?" Lin Tian secretly said in his heart, but like this, he had to go deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Lin Tian looked at his surroundings.


    This place was specifically designed for the students of the Northern Courtyard to cultivate and fight.


    Generally speaking, the students of the Northern Courtyard could not surpass this boundary. This was because in the deeper parts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, there were even more powerful demon beasts. Some of them were top ferocious beasts and big demons.


    For safety reasons, no one was allowed to enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    In this area of the Northern Courtyard, there was a barrier. Firstly, it prevented the entry of even stronger demonic beasts, and secondly, it prevented the students of the Northern Courtyard from leaving this area.


    The current Lin Tian was standing at the boundary. He could already see the faint white barrier that was placed around him.


    Once Lin Tian approached, the white barrier''s power would appear and push Lin Tian back.


    "That''s a problem ¡­" Lin Tian creased his brows and thought for a while, but in the end, he still decided to go out and head deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    With his current combat strength, even if he met a third level eighth stage great demon, he would not be afraid in the slightest.


    Moreover, he also had a powerful trump card, which was the Ice Silkworm. The Ice Silkworm could even swallow a Rank Four Great Flood Dragon, so even if he encountered a Rank Four demon beast, Lin Tian did not need to worry at all.


    In the next moment, on top of the white barrier, waves of terrifying power immediately rebounded and wanted to bounce back Lin Tian''s spear, but Lin Tian did not move at all. At the same time, the Divine Punisher Shuttle in his Divine Mansion also crazily pierced towards the white barrier like rain.


    As a result, the area above the white barrier began to ripple.


    Lin Tian used a bit of force on the spear in his hand. With three "peng peng" sounds, the white barrier immediately collapsed.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s figure also disappeared from the barrier ¡­

 C257

    The moment Lin Tian shattered the barrier, Yang Qingtian, who was at the highest level of the North District''s Mission Pavilion, suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Which student is so daring to walk out of the barrier I set up? Are you tired of living?" Yang Qingtian was immediately furious. The white barrier that Lin Tian had broken was set by him. It was to prevent the Northern Courtyard students from leaving.


    However, the specially prepared area for the Northern Academy students to cultivate was originally the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. The powerful demonic beasts also wouldn''t come to the periphery.


    As such, the main purpose of the barrier was to prevent the Northern Courtyard disciples from leaving.


    But now, someone had gone out and even shattered the barrier that he had set up.


    "Humph!" "Don''t let me find out who you are ¡­" Yang Qingtian no longer hesitated, and directly rushed towards the area where he had previously set up the barrier.


    Since the barrier had been destroyed, he naturally had to sew it back together.


    Moreover, he also wanted to personally investigate just who dared to take the risk of violating the rules of the Northern Courtyard by shattering his protective screen as they headed deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    However, a student who could shatter the barrier set up by him was definitely not an ordinary person.


    Thinking of this, Yang Qingtian immediately started to take action. At the same time, he also ordered all the teachers: "Starting right now, count the number of students. Make sure all movements of the students are confirmed. Come and report to me later ¡­"


    As soon as this order was given, all the instructors quickly moved and began counting the number of students in the Northern Academy.


    However, when Yang Qingtian arrived at the broken barrier, he felt the surrounding aura, and immediately knew who had broken through his barrier.


    It was Lin Tian!


    That''s right, it was Lin Tian.


    This was because there was still a trace of Mental Energy remaining on the broken barrier. Presumably, the one who broke that barrier was a Symbol Master. Moreover, the key to breaking that barrier was the spear.


    Yes, a gun.


    If he had broken through the barrier with his spear and his spiritual force, then it would be very obvious who it was.


    Lin Tian!


    It was definitely Lin Tian because in the entire Northern Courtyard, and even the entire Azure Province Academy, the number of Symbol Masters could be counted on one hand. The Northern Courtyard only had Lin Tian.


    Fang Xing was not exactly a talisman, but he was different from a talisman master.


    Lin Tian was the only one who used a spear as a Symbol Master.


    So the one who broke through his barrier was naturally Lin Tian.


    However, Yang Qingtian did not understand why Lin Tian would want to break this barrier. What was he planning to do by entering the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?


    However, when Yang Qingtian investigated this area, he found that it was specially used for the Northern Courtyard students to hunt demon beasts.


    He immediately understood what Lin Tian was trying to do ¡­ ¡­


    This was because he was shocked to realize that there were only a few Class 3 and above Demonic Beasts left in this area ¡­


    Only a few rank 3 beasts were still pregnant mother beasts. In other words, aside from these few beasts, the rest of the beasts were all hunted down.


    "Could it be Lin Tian?" Yang Qingtian frowned, but if it was really like that, then he could understand.


    Presumably, it was because the rank 3 Monstrous Beast already could not meet Lin Tian''s needs, so he had to break the barrier and go deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    "Kid, what else do I not know? How many more surprises can he give me?" Yang Qingtian couldn''t help but sigh.


    When Lin Tian chose the Northern Courtyard, Yang Qingtian felt that there was hope for the Northern Courtyard to rise. Later on, Lin Tian''s performance time and time again made Yang Qingtian realize that because the Northern Courtyard had Lin Tian, it would not be able to reach its peak even if it reached its peak ¡­


    Thinking of this, Yang Qingtian did not continue to think about it. Instead, he directly restored the barrier''s power.


    After that, he hurriedly rushed back to the Mission Pavilion.


    At this moment, all the instructors had also arrived at the Mission Pavilion. They had already thoroughly investigated the results just now.


    The result was not unexpected. Other than the fact that Lin Tian was not in the Northern Courtyard and there was no trace of his whereabouts, the other people''s whereabouts were all under his control.


    Yang Qingtian nodded his head. He was not surprised, he even told everyone what he had just witnessed.


    With this, everyone quieted down.


    "Principal, that Lin Tian went deep into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Should we chase after him? You should know that in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range ¡­" After a while, it was Zhang Feng who broke the silence.


    In the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, there were many terrifying Diremonsters hidden. In fact, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was even more terrifying than the beast tide mission from before.


    Moreover, there was no lack of Diremonsters that were comparable to Demon Fox Beast Kings.


    "There''s no need. Since that kid has the ability to break through the barrier that I have set up, he naturally has the ability to come back. If he doesn''t have the ability to come back, he will not be so crazy in the future ¡­" Yang Qingtian lightly shook his head.


    The identity token of the Northern Courtyard had another function, and that was teleportation.


    Once Lin Tian encountered trouble that he could not solve, he would presumably use the teleportation function. Thus, he did not need to worry too much about him.


    As soon as Lin Tian entered the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, he felt that there was a difference from the outside because he could already hear the roars of demon beasts from not too far away. It sounded very terrifying.


    However, the more it was like this, the more excited Lin Tian became because this was the best place of cultivation he wanted.


    The level of the demon beasts from before were too low. Lin Tian naturally hoped to clash with the strong demon beasts, especially in the battle of life and death. Lin Tian liked it even more and was even more excited.


    A life or death battle was a battle that could stimulate his potential the most.


    This time, if he wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb to the great perfection stage, he would naturally have to come to this place.


    "Roar!" While he was speaking, from not too far away, an incomparably huge demon beast fiercely pounced over. That demon beast was incomparably huge, but its speed was also abnormally fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    "A third level sixth rank demon beast. Not bad, not bad. You''re just the appetizer!" Lin Tian laughed loudly and then fiercely pounced towards the demon beast.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian thrust out his spear. It was also the first move of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb.


    He had already decided that he would not use any other methods to deal with these demon beasts. He would only use the first two moves of the Sky Dragon Tomb.


    That Demonic Beast was incomparably savage, and its strength was indeed worthy of being at the third step sixth stage. Lin Tian''s thrust of his spear naturally did not have the same effect as before, allowing it to kill the Demonic Beast in one strike. Instead, the Demonic Beast collided with Lin Tian''s spear, causing Lin Tianhu''s mouth to tremble.


    "What a tough skin." Lin Tian let out a sigh. In the next moment, he thrusted out his spear again. This move was an afterimage.


    Not long after, the demon beast''s eyes were suddenly pierced by Lin Tian''s spear. The instant the blood splashed out, the fierceness of the demon beast was also completely aroused.


    In the next moment, that beast abruptly turned around and roared towards the sky. Its voice shook the wilderness, making it seem extremely terrifying.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but soon after, he felt that something was off.


    But before Lin Tian could react, the demon beast had already fled ¡­


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled, but he didn''t follow.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian was overjoyed by his incomparably wise decision.


    That was because not long after, a group of third-level, sixth-level, seventh-level, and even eighth-level demon beasts immediately rushed over from all directions and surrounded Lin Tian.


    That''s right, a group of demonic beasts.


    So, the roar of the demon beast was not for anything else but for... Summon your companions.


    However, at this time, Lin Tian was completely excited. His blood was boiling and he had completely entered a battle state.


    He was not afraid of these demon beasts, nor was he afraid of their siege. Since he had come, he could save Lin Tian the trouble of looking for them.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly rushed towards those demon beasts.


    "These Demonic Beasts should be enough for him to cultivate this Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb to the Great Perfection Stage ¡­" The instant he rushed towards the demon beast, Lin Tian thought like this.

 C258

    Just as Lin Tian was constantly fighting with the demon beasts and wanting to cultivate the first two forms of the Sky Dragon Tomb to the Great Perfection Stage, the Azure Province Symbol Master Guild''s White Light and Lei Lie had also left the Azure Province and arrived at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    The white light did not alarm Gu Qingyuan.


    In truth, he didn''t have much of a relationship with Gu Qingyuan, but at the same time, they were only working together under the hands of the current Emperor. Not only that, the Symbol Master Guild was located in Qingzhou City, and the headquarter of Qingzhou Academy was also located in Qingzhou City.


    But after hearing Han Shan say that the brat called Lin Tian was Gu Qingyuan''s disciple grandson, Bai Guang immediately became more cautious. He did not suspect Gu Qingyuan, but of course, the main reason was that Gu Qingyuan was an orthodox martial cultivator and had never cultivated the rune dao.


    Moreover, among his enemies and opponents, Gu Qingyuan had never existed.


    As a result, White Light naturally didn''t think that Gu Qing Yuan was the one who ordered Lin Tian to harm him.


    However, Gu Qing Yuan was Lin Tian''s grand master after all. At that time, if that brat Lin Tian was not honest, perhaps he would use some special method. If Gu Qing Yuan knew about this, it would only add on trouble.


    Thinking of this, Bai Guang decided not to go to the North Courtyard through the headquarters of the Azure Province Academy''s teleportation array. Instead, he decided to head to the North Courtyard on foot ¡­


    "Kill!"


    "An afterimage!"


    "Kill..." "Afterimage ¡­"


    Facing the besieging of dozens of demon beasts that were so powerful, Lin Tian completely let go of the fight.


    These demon beasts were the best touchstones and the best cultivation resources.


    Streams of incomparably violent power were currently surging between Lin Tian and the demon beasts, but after a while, they separated the strong and the weak.


    Although those demon beasts were strong, their opponents were strong. They still had no way of withstanding Lin Tian''s storm-like attacks.


    Not long after, more and more demon beasts started to fall. However, like this, it completely stimulated the demon beasts that hadn''t fallen down. One by one, they crazily rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian used the two moves again and again, his understanding of these two moves became deeper, so much so that in the end, his grasp of strength, and even understanding of the moves, had a qualitative leap.


    At the beginning, Lin Tian was still unable to completely display the two types of power. After all, before this, he had only practiced these two moves to the large success stage. At the beginning, Lin Tian was still unable to completely display the two types of power.


    Lin Tian did not want to only cultivate it to this extent. Moreover, if he wanted to cultivate the next two moves of the Sky Dragon Tomb, he would have to master these two moves to perfection, which also meant using 100% of his strength.


    Lin Tian repeatedly used these two moves. In the end, he completely displayed the power of these two moves to the point that every time he shot out a spear, he could guarantee that his strength would not be wasted in the slightest.


    Not long after, one by one the demon beasts continued to fall. Lin Tian''s hands didn''t stop moving. In fact, the speed at which he brandished the dragon scale spear in his hand was even several times faster than before.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian felt that he had entered an extremely strange state.


    It was because he was becoming more and more adept at using the first two moves of the Dragon''s Tomb. It was as if they came from his own instincts ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t know that the current state he was in was the state of ''sudden enlightenment'' that he achieved from cultivating martial arts.


    This kind of state was one that could only be met by luck and not sought.


    But by a coincidence, Lin Tian had actually reached this state.


    When Lin Tian came back to his senses from that state, he was shocked to find out that underneath his feet, a large amount of Monstrous Beast corpses had already fallen.


    However, the most frightening thing was that, other than the demon beasts that died at the beginning, the rest of the demon beasts all died in neat rows. The wounds on their throats seemed to have come from the same spear, but Lin TianAo knew that it was definitely not the same spear.


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with joy. Could it be that he had already practiced the first two moves to the Perfection Stage?


    Whether it is or not, we will know after checking it out ¡­


    Lin Tian''s mind immediately became vigilant. Inside the Divine Mansion, he mobilized the power of his soul. The Ancient Dragon Talisman flashed a few times, and then it displayed the third style of the Sky Dragon Burying Martial Art.


    Slaughter God!


    The third form of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb, was the God Slaughterer.


    Lin Tian''s heart was currently in ecstasy. Without hesitation, he directly began to comprehend this move.


    The Ancient Dragon Symbol slightly moved and gradually formed into a small transparent person on top of it. At this moment, that small transparent person was unceasingly practising the third move, God Slaying.


    Lin Tian attentively watched, and then he began to comprehend the power and mystery of that technique.


    However, it was also at this time that something strange happened. Lin Tian suddenly felt that he seemed to have become smarter ¡­


    Moreover, it was definitely not just fast. This time, when Lin Tian was comprehending this move, he felt that he could completely keep up with the Primordial Dragon Symbol and the speed at which the small transparent person practiced. He could even detect some things that were not easily detectable from the small person''s practice.


    In short, this time, when Lin Tian was comprehending this move, he felt as if it was flowing water, without any sluggish or dull feeling. It was completely different from the situation before he comprehended the two forms of Sky Dragon''s Tomb.


    Lin Tian also did not know what the situation was, but he did not think too much about it. He was overjoyed and immediately raised the long spear in his book and began to practice.


    Although this was his first time practicing, Lin Tian unexpectedly felt that his movements with the dragon scale spear were extremely smooth and free.


    At the same time, while Lin Tian was unceasingly cultivating, the Northern Courtyard suddenly welcomed an honored guest.


    It was none other than Bai Guang and Lei Lie.


    The head of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild had personally come. This caused the Northern Courtyard to be able to bring honor to their humble dwelling.


    One had to know that the last time White Light came to the Northern Courtyard, it was to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation.


    However, the white light that had come to set up the formation had yet to become the guild leader.


    Therefore, the arrival of Lei Lie and Bai Guang was personally welcomed by Yang Qingtian.


    After a few simple words of greeting, White Light finally revealed his purpose for coming. He was actually here to check out the Spirit Convergence Array.


    The exact words of the white light was, "Many years ago, he had once set up a Spirit Convergence Array at this place. But now, he has sensed that many of the Spirit Convergence Formations are showing signs of collapse.


    Hearing Bai Guang''s words, Yang Qingtian was greatly surprised, and found it hard to believe. This was because, as the president of the Symbol Master Guild, he came to the Northern Courtyard to reform a small Spirit Convergence Array, this was a reason that no one would believe.


    White Light did not explain any further. He only said that he had been entrusted with this task.


    But as he said this, Yang Qingtian didn''t have anything else to say. Although he didn''t know the true purpose of the white light, if it was really to reform the Spirit Gathering Array, then it would be a good thing. Yang Qingtian naturally wouldn''t refuse him at the door.


    However, when Yang Qingtian said he wanted to go with them, he was politely declined by Bai Guang. Moreover, not only Yang Qingtian, even the other coaches wanted to accompany him were also declined by Bai Guang.


    No one knew why Bai Guang came here, but one thing was certain, the matter of Bai Guang''s sudden visit was extremely bizarre ¡­

 C259

    Currently, Lin Tian was still immersed in the third move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb, the God Slaying technique.


    The God Slaying Fist was very different from the slaying and afterimages of before.


    The most fundamental differences were the training and attacking techniques of the Slaughter God.


    God of Slaughter, God of Slaughter, as its name implied, this move, aside from basic strength attacks, was actually more from the attack of Spirit power.


    In other words, this movement actually attacked the power of the soul.


    This was something Lin Tian hadn''t expected.


    However, after perceiving it for a while, Lin Tian also had a new understanding of this technique.


    The so-called god of slaughter referred to the will to exterminate the mind. Furthermore, it was linked to the fourth form, the next form.


    This was because the next move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb was Murdering Heart.


    God Slaying, Murdering Heart, were the third and fourth forms of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb.


    The two forms, God of Slaughter and Murdering Heart, had similar results. As a result, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly started to cultivate these two forms at the same time.


    At this moment, within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, the Immemorial Dragon Talisman was incessantly practicing the Slaughtering God and the Heart Slaughtering God.


    Looking at the transparent little person in the Divine Manor constantly practicing these two moves, Lin Tian began to understand why this Heavenly Dragon Tomb was a cultivation technique that could easily cause a cultivator''s cultivation to go berserk.


    Because these two styles were completely one and the same.


    Cultivating the Slaughtering God alone without cultivating the Murdering Heart could very well cause one''s cultivation to go berserk.


    In addition, there was another prerequisite for him to learn these two, and that was his cultivation in the Dao of Talismans.


    In other words, if one wanted to practice these two moves, one must be a Symbol Master.


    Only an expert who had opened his Castrum Divinitus and trained in spiritual energy would be able to train in these two stances.


    From this, it could be seen how high of a threshold was needed to cultivate this Heavenly Dragon Tomb. However, when Lin Tian thought of it, Lin Tian felt that the martial art in this Heavenly Dragon Tomb must be an extremely powerful martial art.


    However, it was no wonder that when Lin Tian looked at the technique of the Sky Dragon Burial, he saw that there was a lot of bloodstains within the technique. It was likely left behind by the people who received the backlash after forcefully cultivating the third style.


    However, it was also because of this that Lin Tian understood that this Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb was a huge opportunity for him.


    Everything seemed to be preordained in the underworld. Lin Tian was in the Northern Courtyard''s Martial Repository. Lin Tian didn''t even look at any martial arts techniques. He only picked one that could bury the dragon.


    Although this technique was incomplete, but he had a supreme treasure like the ancient dragon talisman. Even though the technique was incomplete, he still had the ancient dragon talisman to help him perfect the next few moves.


    Moreover, what no one expected was that the martial arts of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb required dual cultivation in order to master it. And today, it just so happened to be an existence of dual cultivation in both runes and martial arts.


    The martial arts of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb seemed to be tailored for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was completely immersed in cultivation.


    Within the Divine Mansion, boundless Mental Energy gushed out and poured onto the Dragon Scale Spear. A formless Mental Energy wrapped around the long spear in Lin Tian''s hand and the Dragon Scale Spear continuously emitted extremely powerful and terrifying auras.


    Lin Tian waved the Dragon Scale Spear. In the next moment, that incomparable power was sent towards a large tree not far away.


    After the large tree endured such a powerful attack, it instantly exploded, sending debris flying everywhere.


    But this was only the beginning. Not long after, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that after the main body of the tree had cracked open, its roots were unexpectedly rapidly rotting and collapsing. The entire tree''s vitality was taken away by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was both surprised and happy. He naturally had done this because the spirit of the tree was also killed by Lin Tian.


    On the Sky Dragon Continent, everything had a soul, and this tree was no exception. But now, not only was this tree shattered by Lin Tian''s spear, more importantly, the tree had been deprived of its life force by Lin Tian. This was where the Slaughter God could be found.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and began to cultivate the Murdering Heart stance again.


    The difference between these two moves isn''t that big, but the power behind Murderous Heart is even stronger, so I naturally need more time to practice it ¡­


    At the same time, while Lin Tian was crazily cultivating, Lei Lie and Bai Guang were also not idle.


    After rejecting all of the teachers of the Northern Courtyard and Yang Qingtian''s company, they did not spend too much effort and directly went to Lin Tian''s cave.


    Lin Tian''s abode was very easy to find because Lin Tian''s abode had a second level Spirit Convergence Array. With such a Spirit Convergence Array, the speed at which spiritual energy was absorbed was much faster than in other abodes.


    The two of them quickly arrived in front of Lin Tian''s abode.


    "This is the place." As soon as the white light arrived in front of Lin Tian''s abode, it felt a little different.


    It was true that his formation had been altered, but it was not a malicious change.


    This was the most shocking and inconceivable thing to Bai Guang.


    This was because the Spirit Convergence Array in front of him was based on his own Spirit Convergence Array.


    However, just from this modification, White Light knew that this person was an expert in altering his formation.


    A supreme expert.


    However, it was only a small part of the modification, which caused the power of the entire Spirit Convergence Array to drastically change. The Spirit Convergence Array that had been modified, was able to gather spirit energy at a speed that was tens of times faster than before, perhaps even a hundred times faster than before ¡­


    "Hmm?" Upon seeing this, Bai Guang became a little surprised and a little suspicious. It seemed that the person who had changed his formation had an extremely powerful Symbol Dao cultivation. In fact, his understanding of array glyphs might even surpass his own.


    Furthermore, just by looking at it this way, it is impossible to be sure that the person who changed the array did it with the intention of harming him.


    However, the more it was like that, the more White Light was curious about the person who changed his formation. What kind of expert changed his formation? If there was such an expert with extremely high cultivation in the Dao of talismans in the Azure Province, why had he never heard of it before?


    However, thinking about it so painstakingly was not an option. In fact, when they just arrived, Bai Guang had already noticed that there was no one in the cave. Therefore, he had asked Lei Lie to find out where Lin Tian had gone to ¡­


    "Elder Bai, I asked a few nearby students, but no one knows where that brat Lin went. However, that brat Lin has an extremely strange title ¡­" Not long after, Lei Lie rushed over from afar and said to Bai Guang.


    "Oh?" White Light''s interest was immediately piqued. He then asked, "What''s your name?"


    "Battle Berserk Demon, shortened it to Berserk Demon Lin." Lei Lie slightly hesitated for a moment before speaking. He even told them about some of Lin Tian''s heroic deeds in the Northern Courtyard.


    "Oh, interesting." A light flashed in Bai Guang''s eyes, but he still said, "However, let''s not talk about this for now. This formation is a little strange, I''ll check it first ¡­"


    Without saying much, Bai Guang''s mind moved. One spiritual will after another began to meticulously examine the formation that Lin Tian had modified ¡­

 C260

    Lin Tian naturally didn''t know of Lei Lie''s arrival, but Fang Xing and the other two had clearly seen it.


    The Immortal''s cave that the three of them were in was not far from Lin Tian''s. As soon as the two of them arrived, Fang Xing immediately noticed.


    Seeing the two sneakily standing in front of Lin Tian''s cave, it immediately attracted their attention.


    "These two are Symbol Masters ¡­" Fang Xing was born with a talisman body, so he was able to sense people with high cultivation bases in the Dao of talismans even more clearly. "They should all be at least at the level of a spirit talisman master ¡­."


    Hearing Fang Xing''s words, Gu Yan''er and Du Fengden immediately felt something amiss. Both of them were spirit runemasters, and they were definitely not nameless people in the Azure Continent. However, both of them had come here today. What was their motive? Could it be that they were here to target Lin Tian?


    "Where''s Lin Tian? Isn''t he in the cave?" Gu Yan''er could not help but ask.


    "He should be out by now." Fang Xing hesitated for a moment before replying, "When he left, I vaguely sensed it. Moreover, if Lin Tian was still here, how could I have allowed these two people to search his estate?"


    Fang Xing understood Lin Tian very well. If Lin Tian were inside the Immortal''s cave, he would definitely not allow these two people to search his cave dwelling. One must know that before Lin Tian came to the Lin Tian''s cave, an ignorant person like An Kang came looking for trouble.


    "Then what do we do? We don''t know where Lin Tian went. Do we stop them?" Du Feng immediately asked.


    In the absence of Lin Tian, Fang Xing was their pillar of support. At this moment, it was obviously time to ask what Fang Xing was going to do.


    "Go find Lin Tian, these two people are not friendly, I think they are not an easy opponent, with our strength, we are not their match, if we block them now, I think we will alert them, it is better to find Lin Tian and first remind him, so that he will not be tricked by these two people ¡­" Fang Xing thought for a moment before replying.


    "Then should we split up and search?" Gu Yan''er asked again.


    I''m guessing that Lin Tian is definitely in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range right now. Not only is he a battle maniac, he is also a cultivation maniac, and the best place to cultivate is of course the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. There''s no time to lose, we''ll go to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range now, and after we arrive at the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, we''ll split up and search. Fang Xing and Lin Tian had been together for a long time, so he had a good understanding of Lin Tian''s personality. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Tian would definitely be in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Without delay, the three of them quietly left towards the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    "What great methods, what a terrifying Symbol Dao cultivation!" At this moment, the white light fiercely withdrew its spiritual will.


    He had just inspected this modified Spirit Convergence Array. Even he couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. The person who modified his formation was an expert in the Dao of talismans.


    He had mastered the Dao of Talismans, especially the power of array glyphs.


    Even White Light was amazed. Therefore, White Light believed that the person who changed his formation was a top-notch expert, possibly even a Rank 3 Spirit Symbol Master!


    It could even be an Earth Symbol Master!


    The path of a Symbol Master was originally that of a low-rank Symbol Master, mid-rank Symbol Master and high-rank Symbol Master.


    Above the Superior Grade Symbol Master was the Spiritual Symbol Master.


    Only after reaching the level of a Soul Symbol Master could one be considered to have truly reached the level of a Symbol Master. Only then could one be considered to have reached the level of a Spiritual Symbol Master.


    Above the Soul Symbol Master was the Earth Symbol Master!


    From Soul Symbol Masters onwards, each rank was divided into three levels.


    The person who was modifying his Spiritual Array now was definitely more powerful than him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to modify a tiny Spiritual Concentration Array to such an extent.


    Spirit Convergence Array was originally an extremely low level formation. However, after that person''s transformation, it had completely changed. Everything had changed.


    Right now, the white light could roughly feel the original appearance of the Spirit Convergence Array, but everything else had changed.


    The entire array had been changed so much that it was now a high quality formation.


    This was a qualitative leap. Of course, this was also the reason why the Spiritual Concentration Formation''s ability to gather Spiritual Aura was so strong ¡­


    Just now, Bai Guangxun refused to accept this and wanted to attempt to modify the formation. However, when he wanted to, he realized that he had no way to do so.


    In other words, to him, this formation had already reached the level of perfection. He did not need to make any changes, nor did he have any ways to change it ¡­


    As a result, the white light became even more amazed and curious.


    Judging from this formation, the one who changed this formation was definitely an expert. Moreover, his cultivation in the Dao of talismans was definitely stronger than his.


    He had already guessed that it was a Rank 3 Spirit Symbol Master, or perhaps an Earth Symbol Master.


    However, the problem now was, when had he ever provoked such an expert in broad daylight?


    He didn''t have any.


    This kind of expert wouldn''t be in the mood to frame him.


    White light''s opponent was nothing more than the elders of the Symbol Master Guild.


    White Light had always suspected that they were trying to frame him, but it really wasn''t belittling them. Would they be able to create such a perfect Spirit Convergence Array?


    Even if they were given a hundred years of training, they still wouldn''t be able to do it.


    Of course, Lin Tian was automatically ignored by White Light. Lin Tian was just a kid who had just stepped into the spirit runemaster realm, so White Light first eliminated Lin Tian.


    However, with this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. This was a contradictory question ¡­


    However, it didn''t matter. With such a powerful array in front of him, there was no way Bai Guang would let it go. He might be able to study this array for a while and find an opportunity to break through to become a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master ¡­


    There was no way Bai Guang would let such a good opportunity go.


    The white light divine intent once again moved and once again submerged itself into the Spirit Convergence Array. He wanted to find an opportunity to break through to a Rank 3 Symbol Master from this Spirit Convergence Array.


    "God of Slaughter!" Lin Tian currently brandished his spear and landed on the body of a third step seventh grade demon beast.


    When the long spear landed on the demonic beast''s leather bag, it naturally couldn''t penetrate it. However, the demonic beast stood firmly in its original spot after enduring the attack, as if it had lost its consciousness.


    However, in the next moment, the incomparably huge Demonic Beast immediately collapsed and smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater ¡­


    "He really is powerful beyond compare!" Lin Tian immediately withdrew his spear and said happily.


    The reason the demon beast fell was not because it was killed by the shock, but because it was directly destroyed by Lin Tian''s Slaughtering God Form. Only then would it die.


    This was the terror of the Slaughterer.


    Lin Tian placed the demon beast into his stone tablet space. But at this moment, he felt his soul faintly move, as if something was affecting his soul.


    "Hmm? "What is it?" Lin Tian instantly became alert. Could it be that an extremely powerful greater demon had come, causing his soul to be on alert?


    He immediately stopped moving and started to carefully feel the power.


    "No, it seems like the Spirit Convergence Array in my cave has been moved!" Lin Tian felt it and immediately thought to himself.


    There was a strange connection between the Spirit Convergence Array and himself. He could feel that there was something wrong with the Spirit Convergence Array.


    Right now, someone was definitely moving his Spiritual Concentration Formation!

 C261

    "Have you found it?" Fang Xing spotted Du Feng and Gu Yan''er hurrying towards him as well, using the barrier to block off the Northern Courtyard students from entering deeper into the academy.


    Du Feng and Gu Yan''er both shook their heads before saying: "I''ve searched thoroughly, but I couldn''t find any trace of Lin Tian!"


    "I haven''t found it either." Fang Xing couldn''t help but laugh bitterly as he couldn''t find Lin Tian either.


    The three of them used this piece of land for the Northern Courtyard students to cultivate and hunted demon beasts. They searched every inch of the place, but they couldn''t find Lin Tian''s figure.


    "Then where will he go?" If he wasn''t in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, where would Lin Tian go? Could he have gone on a mission?


    "I don''t know." Gu Yan''er shook her head before turning to look at Fang Xing.


    However, at this moment, Fang Xing''s gaze was focused on the white barrier behind them.


    Du Feng and Gu Yan''er immediately guessed what Fang Xing was thinking.


    "You, you don''t think that Lin Tian went outside that barrier, right?" Gu Yan''er''s eyes went wide, and she spoke in shock.


    "Why is that impossible? You should know that he is a Lin Kuang devil. In an army filled with thousands of men and horses, he could even kill a beast king. What else could he not do?" Even if Lin Tian were to break through this barrier and go deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, he wouldn''t be surprised at all. There was nothing that Lin Kuang Devil couldn''t do; he only wanted to avoid doing it ¡­


    "Then, should we break through this barrier and go inside to find him?" Du Feng frowned, "Isn''t it a little too big? This is a barrier personally set up by the Headmaster. We broke it without permission. This is breaking the rules of the Northern Courtyard ¡­"


    "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, just push everything onto Lin Tian ¡­" Fang Xing replied matter-of-factly, "After all, we''re here to find him. Those two charm magicians are here with ill intentions, so we can''t let our guard down ¡­"


    As Fang Xing spoke, the two of them fell silent and began to move quickly.


    A terrifying green energy immediately surged out from Gu Yan''er''s hand. However, there was an extremely terrifying poison energy within that energy that caused one to feel terror just by looking at it.


    Gu Yan Er''s finger moved slightly and that poison landed on the barrier.


    "Poof, poof, poof..." On the barrier, such a sound immediately rang out.


    In the next moment, both Fang Xing and Du Feng were stunned. That frightening protective barrier was actually being consumed by that green poison ¡­.


    In the beginning, the barrier strength had wanted to directly deflect the green-colored poison. However, the moment it came into contact with the poison, the barrier strength was immediately entangled with it. That green-colored poison strength was just like a maggot on the bones as it was swiftly swallowed by the poison, nibbling it away.


    This situation didn''t last long. The barrier began to decay, and soon began to collapse before it tore apart.


    At this moment, a surge of energy also began to flow from Fang Xing''s body. The next moment, a surge of energy charged towards the barrier.


    "Kacha, kacha." The barrier was instantly shattered.


    The figures of the three of them immediately disappeared from where they stood as they headed deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    The Northern Courtyard, at the highest floor of the Mission Pavilion.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian could no longer hold it back. He had sensed just now that the barrier that he had just sewn up had been broken once again!


    "What is that kid trying to do?!" Yang Qingtian said angrily.


    Did he really think that he did not need elemental energy to sew up those barriers?


    The key point was that his cultivation had been interrupted, and this was what made Yang Qingtian the most furious.


    But this time, Yang Qingtian didn''t want to continue sewing on the barrier''s power. On the contrary, he wanted to see what Lin Tian was planning to do by squatting down and watching that brat ¡­ ¡­


    Not long after Fang Xing and the rest left, Lin Tian''s body appeared outside the barrier with a ''kacha'' sound in a certain corner.


    He didn''t stay here for too long and quickly returned to his cave.


    Lin Tian had just felt that someone had tampered with his Spiritual Concentration Formation in his cave, so he didn''t hesitate and didn''t continue to cultivate. Instead, he crazily rushed back.


    He thought that it was his own cave dwelling. There were students from the inner courtyard who wanted to take advantage of his absence to occupy it. What a joke, daring to touch his cave dwelling and asking about his name ¡­


    Lin Tianyin ran frantically with a dark expression. He had missed out perfectly with Fang Xing, Fang Xing, and Fang Xing, who had gone to give him the information.


    "Puff ¡­" At this moment, Yang Qingtian was on the verge of vomiting blood. Just a moment ago, he felt that the barrier that he had set up had been broken again ¡­


    "This ¡­" Yang Qingtian was so angry that he started laughing, "This little brat must have treated the protective screen I set as a toy, breaking it just like that ¡­"


    "Wonderful, wonderful, this is simply wonderful!" At this time, in front of Lin Tian''s abode, he was carefully inspecting the white light of the Spirit Convergence Array that Lin Tian had modified. At this moment, his mouth was constantly letting out exclamations.


    The more he investigated, the more he could sense the terrifying power of the expert who had modified the formation.


    Moreover, he could faintly feel that he seemed to have found a chance to break through ¡­


    He had suffered some injuries the last time he was interrupted in his training, but now, he had just recovered. However, in order to continue breaking through, he would probably need some time to comprehend, but this time, after comprehending this Spirit Convergence Array, he estimated that it would not take long. No, it should be another month, he definitely had the confidence to break through to the third step ¡­


    Lei Lie stood at the side and watched the white light of joy on his face. In his heart, he felt that something was not right. This development did not seem to be going as Lei Lie had expected. On the contrary, it was going in a direction that he could not control.


    "Dammit. It''s all because of that brat Lin Tian. Why hasn''t that little bastard returned yet?" At this moment, Lei Lie''s heart was filled with rage.


    However, in the next moment, a rumbling voice entered his ears, "Who dares to behave so atrociously in front of my cave abode? Are you tired of living!?"


    "Hmm?" Lei Lie was stunned for a moment. However, when he turned around, he saw a gloomy-looking young man staring at them.


    "Lin Tian?" Lei Lie asked in surprise.


    "It''s your grandfather!" At this time, not far away, the people who were rushing over were not Lin Tian, but seeing the two people standing in front of his own cave, Lin Tian Deng immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, there was indeed someone who took advantage of his absence and wanted to occupy his cave.


    Lin Tian''s heart surged with anger. Seeing the two, he did not plan on holding back.


    "God of Slaughter!" Lin Tian''s spiritual energy surged out majestically before he poured it into the Dragon Scale Spear. He directly shot it towards Lei Lie.


    Since you just started practicing the Slaughter God Fist, then I''ll use you to train my spear!


    Lei Lie immediately felt a strong wave of mental power rushing towards him. He frowned and said, "What a strong mental power!"


    Because of this, Lei Lie also confirmed the identity of this person. This person was Lin Tian, there was no mistake. Only a spirit runemaster could use Mental Energy to attack and possess such powerful Mental Energy.


    Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster. This was something he knew.


    Although he wanted to, Lei Lie''s movements were not slow either.


    His entire body surged with an incomparably strong Mental Energy which then turned into a Mental Energy barrier and blocked in front of him. At the same time, his hands suddenly extended out and a palm directly shot towards Lin Tian.


    "Oh, he''s actually a Soul Symbol Master." A hint of surprise flashed through Lin Tian''s eyes, then he laughed out loud: "Interesting. The first time I met a spirit runemaster, that''s even better. I want to test the power of my Slaughterer First Style!"

 C262

    The white light had already pulled out the telepathic thoughts from the formation. Actually, Lin Tian''s shout had alarmed him, causing him to wake up from the formation.


    But at the same time, his gaze also completely fell on Lin Tian.


    "He is Lin Tian?" When Lin Tian made his move just now, he had sensed the incomparably massive Mental Energy surging out from Lin Tian''s body. Because of this, he was somewhat shocked, but he did not intend on making a move. On the contrary, he wanted Lei Lie to test Lin Tian''s strength.


    "Boom boom!" Accompanied by a loud explosion, the huge palm formed by Lei Lie''s mental strength was instantly shattered by Lin Tian''s spear. However, this was not enough. After destroying Lei Lie''s palm, Lin Tian''s spear strength actually brought along the might of Lin TianAo as it crazily shot towards Lei Lie.


    BOOM! BOOM! Another monstrous explosion rang out as Lei Lie''s spirit energy barrier was shattered by Lin Tian''s spear. But at this moment, Lin Tian''s God Slaying Fist had completely dissipated without a trace of power.


    Lei Lie''s body slowly retreated, but at this moment, he was looking at Lin Tian with a face of shock.


    "How, how is this possible!" He was incomparably shocked. After all, he was a true spirit runemaster and even Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster. The outcome of the two of them should only be fifty percent. How could there be such a difference?


    Lin Tian''s seemingly casual strike had continuously shattered the force from his palm and even directly shattered the barrier formed by his mental strength.


    This is unbelievable ¡­


    However, he did not wait for Lei Lie to recover from his shock.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s voice sounded out again.


    "Not bad, not bad. I''ve finally found a worthy opponent. However, try taking another spear of mine on me!" Lin Tian''s face was filled with joy as he smiled at Lei Lie.


    In the next moment, the Mental Energy in the Heavenly God Palace once again rushed out. This time, the Mental Energy in the Heavenly God Palace was several times stronger than before.


    That shot just now was only a probe, but it had already revealed Lei Lie''s strength. Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t hold back.


    He suddenly roared out and his Mental Energy, accompanied by the Dragon Scale Spear, wildly swept towards Lei Lie.


    It was just that this move, which Lin Tian had used just now, was not the God Slaying Fist.


    Rather, it was a killing intent!


    Lin Tian madly attacked. The long spear was like a dragon''s roar and his speed was incomparably fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Lei Lie.


    "Hmm?" Lei Lie was extremely shocked. The speed of the spear was simply too fast. It was so fast that he did not even have time to react before the spear arrived before him.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" In a hurry, Lei Lie crazily threw out palm after palm as the Mental Energy palm and palm landed on Lin Tian''s spear body.


    But from beginning to end, he had no way of blocking the power of Lin Tian''s spear.


    The might of the spear was astonishing.


    After penetrating through Lei Lie''s palms dozens of times, the power of the long spear did not diminish at all as it pierced towards Lei Lie once again.


    Lei Lie was so shocked that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly shouted at the white light beside him, "Old Bai, save me!"


    At this moment, only then did White Light make his move. He knew that if he did not make his move now, even if Lei Lie did not die, he would still be severely injured by the spear.


    The white light had long since been prepared. It was waiting for the right opportunity to make its move. The power of this palm strike was more than ten times stronger than Lei Lie''s earlier palm strike.


    "Boom boom!" This palm''s strength finally stopped Lin Tian''s long spear attack.


    Lei Lie''s entire body was covered in cold sweat. At this moment, he retreated to the side, panting heavily.


    Lin Tian''s spear was blocked once again, but he was not surprised. He knew that White Light was an expert. From the moment he returned, he had already felt it.


    However, this didn''t mean that he was afraid. He gently looked at the white light and then said, "Not bad, you''re an opponent. Come, take my spear!"


    Lin Tian didn''t waste any time, he said that he would fight. This person was in front of his dwelling and if he wanted to use his Spirit Convergence Array, he was most likely not a good person. There was naturally no need to waste time with him.


    "Hold on!" Just as Lin Tian was about to attack again, the white light suddenly stopped Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian immediately stopped his hands: "What, if there''s anything else you want to say, quickly say it, otherwise, in a while, under my spear, I won''t be merciful ¡­."


    "Little brother, are you called Lin Tian?" Bai Guang seemed to not hear the threat in Lin Tian''s words and asked.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded.


    "May I ask little brother''s master?" Bai Guang hesitated for a moment before his eyes flickered and he asked again.


    "My master?" Lin Tian was even more startled. Then, he suddenly remembered that the An Yuan he had killed before also asked about him before the battle.


    There were only a few Symbol Masters, so many of them had a complicated relationship with each other. The reason why he asked for guidance from his teacher was to avoid hurting his own people or hurting others.


    However, after killing An Yuan, Lin Tian rarely met a Symbol Master. In the Heavenly Thunder City, he met another Symbol Master, Ma Feng. Back then, because Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, he had obtained great benefits.


    But after that, Lin Tian did not meet any decent Symbol Masters, so he forgot about this matter. Now that the person in front of him was asking about this matter with Lin Tian, Lin Tian once again recalled this matter.


    "I don''t have a teacher, I just blindly practiced by myself." Lin Tian faintly shook his head. At first, he had casually made up a master in front of Ma Feng, but at first it was because his strength was too weak, but right now his strength was completely unafraid of any opponent. So, he wasn''t willing to use that excuse.


    And once someone asked until the end, Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to continue making it up ¡­ ¡­


    So, he just directly told the truth. It was good to not have a master, instead, he did not need to care about the rotten things between Symbol Masters, he could fight whenever he wanted. It all depended on Lin Tian''s mood, in the future when he met an enemy of a Symbol Master, he did not have to worry too much about it ¡­


    "How can this be possible without a teacher ¡­" Originally, he wanted to ask Lin Tian who was modifying the Spirit Convergence Array, but after thinking about it, asking such a question rashly would arouse Lin Tian''s vigilance, so he asked Lin Tian''s master first.


    Between Symbol Masters, asking for guidance was an extremely common matter, presumably, this Lin Tian wouldn''t think too much about it.


    It was just that he never would have thought that Lin Tian was actually so cunning. He didn''t even reveal his own master.


    Little brother, I am the president of the Symbol Master Guild in the Azure Province, Bai Guang. At such a young age, I have already become a Symbol Master, and such talent is indispensable, but a master teacher''s guidance is also indispensable, so little brother must have a master. Please tell me what master you have to ask, I have something to ask ¡­


    "I really don''t have a teacher ¡­" Lin Tian had an innocent expression, "If you don''t believe me, I have no way ¡­ ¡­"

 C263

    Lin Tian wasn''t lying. He cultivated the dragon clan spirit technique, so there was basically no one guiding him along the way. He was just fumbling around, so it wasn''t wrong to say that the dragon clan was his master.


    However, Lin Tian thought about it, the person in front of him would not believe it. After all, the rune dao was not something that could be cultivated with secrecy, not to mention, Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster right now. Without a master, cultivating to a spirit runemaster was basically impossible.


    That was why White Light didn''t believe it at all.


    Earlier, Bai Guang thought that Lin Tian did not believe him, but now that Lin Tian was so adamant on not revealing his master, his face immediately darkened: "Little brother, if you really are so stubborn, then if you don''t say that you are master, then don''t blame me for being rude ¡­"


    "You want to fight me?" Lin Tian slightly froze before asking.


    "Little brother, since you insist on not revealing your master''s identity, I can''t do anything about it." From Lin Tian''s tone, Bai Guang thought that Lin Tian was afraid and immediately continued: "So, little brother, you should still say your master, in case you accidentally hurt him, and hurt his peace of mind ¡­ ¡­"


    "If you want to say it earlier, say it earlier, why are you wasting your breath on me? After saying so much, you should at least see the real deal ¡­" Lin Tian unhappily said: "Wasting my time."


    As he spoke, a terrifying Mental Energy surged out from Lin Tianshui''s manor. That Mental Energy quickly gathered onto the Dragon Scale Spear, before emitting a soul-stirring deterring force.


    "Hmm?" White light immediately froze. This kid''s Battle Mad Demon title was indeed well-deserved. When he and Lei Lie came here, Lin Tian had just come back without saying a word and directly attacked.


    Bai Guang finally stopped him with great difficulty, but before he could say anything, they were about to start fighting again ¡­


    However, at least this kid had asked why they had come. Right now, Lin Tian didn''t even ask what they were here for and was just about to make a move ¡­ ¡­


    Bai Guang was speechless. Then, he turned to Lin Tian and asked, "Hey, little brother, why don''t you at least ask us why we came to your cave. Why are you in such a hurry ¡­ ¡­"


    There''s no need to ask, just be sneaky in front of my cave, what good can you guys do? Besides, you guys can say whatever you want to say, there''s no need for me to ask. Since you didn''t say anything, it''s fine.


    "God of Slaughter!" Lin Tian directly used the God Slaying Fist.


    These two forms, the most powerful essence, lay in the rune attack. To Lin Tian, a demon beast was naturally a good way to train his martial skills, but in order to truly test the power of these two forms, he still needed to find a Symbol Master to fight.


    White light and Lei Lie were undoubtedly the best touchstones and also the best targets.


    Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t let it go. What a joke. Such a powerful expert was used to give him a feed. Where would he find such a good opportunity?


    At the same time, deep within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Fang Xing''s spiritual power had transformed into a spear. After killing a third-level fifth-level demonic beast with a single stab, he suddenly retreated.


    "Where did that Berserk Demon go? Why can''t I find him no matter how hard I look ¡­" Fang Xing was slightly out of breath, and his face was rather unsightly as well.


    After several days of hard work, Fang Xing was already a 3rd level Jindan Stage expert. He had a natural born talisman body, and the Jindan he formed was also a Jindan. It was originally an extremely terrifying pill, but now Fang Xing''s spiritual force was over a hundred times stronger than before.


    It could be said that as long as the Talismanic Pellets didn''t collapse, the strength in his body would never stop.


    Earlier, after he, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er had broken through the barrier at the same time, they had decided to split up and look for Lin Tian.


    But unfortunately, they still could not find Lin Tian.


    On the other hand, the three of them were still besieged by the beast Fang Xing had just killed. It was the first beast Fang Xing had encountered since arriving here that he had almost exhausted all of his strength to kill.


    Even so, Fang Xing was still exhausted. After all, he was not a battle maniac. His battle prowess was much greater than Lin Tian''s.


    Du Feng and Gu Yaner''s situation was similar to Fang Xing''s, although both of them were slightly stronger.


    Gu Yan''er was born with a poisonous body, so she was naturally extremely powerful. It could be said that she was very familiar with dealing with demonic beasts.


    Fu Feng was running away. When he encountered a high-level demon beast, he did not hesitate and immediately ran away, not giving those demon beasts a chance to catch up to him.


    He possessed the body of the Heavenly Dao, so he could easily sense the range of the demonic beasts. Once he sensed a demonic beast approaching him, Du Feng would immediately bring out the full power of his wind and quickly flee.


    Their expressions were not too good. They had originally wanted to inform Lin Tian venting the news, but they did not expect that Lin Tian could not find them and they were almost surrounded by the demons.


    The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.


    "Where did that Berserk Demon go ¡­" Gu Yan''er was also filled with anger and she no longer called Lin Tian''s name. Instead, she said Lin Tian''s nickname, Berserk Demon ¡­


    "Who knows? Fang Xing, could it be that the Frenzied Devil Society has gone deeper?" At this moment, Du Feng quietly changed his address.


    "That''s hard to say ¡­" "No one can guess the intentions of the Berserk Demons, but he knows that the deeper parts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range are definitely not a joke. You guys must have already experienced it before, when we first arrived here, we were already chased by the greater demons." Fang Xing felt indignant. "Who can guess the intentions of the Berserk Demons, but he knows that the deeper parts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range are not a joke.


    "We''ve been together with him for quite some time now. When have you ever seen the Berserk Demon put himself in a dangerous situation ¡­" Fang Xing analyzed calmly.


    When he said this, the other two thought for a moment and felt that it was true.


    Although Lin Tian normally looked extremely arrogant, every time he did something, no matter what he did, he always had a plan in his heart.


    "Let''s go, maybe we should head back now and find that Berserk Demon cultivating in his cave abode ¡­" Fang Xing didn''t say anything further. He didn''t want to stay any longer in this place. He turned around and walked back to the protective screen.


    The three of them followed the same pattern and once again shattered the barrier. However, just as they were about to leave, a loud shout suddenly came from not too far away: "I really thought you guys wouldn''t come out. Lin Tian brat, what exactly do you want to do!"


    Accompanied by an explosive shout, a figure dashed over rapidly from not too far away.


    Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng were all stunned for a moment before they recovered from their shock. The three of them looked at each other and muttered in their hearts, "It''s over, the dean is here ¡­"


    That''s right, it was Yang Qingtian.


    Yang Qingtian had been waiting for this moment ever since he arrived. He wanted to see what Lin Tian actually wanted to do, he actually wanted to break the barrier that he had set up multiple times. Did he really treat the barrier that he had set up as something fun?


    Didn''t he use up his own strength to set up that barrier?


    However, when Yang Qingtian arrived before the three of them, he discovered that among the three people standing in front of him was not Lin Tian, but rather Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing.


    "What are the three of you doing here?" Yang Qingtian looked at the barrier that the three had broken, and immediately held back the anger in his heart and asked.


    "Err ¡­"


    The three of them spoke at the same time, but all they said was, "Er ¡­"


    "Uhh what? Don''t tell me you guys are hungry, we are here to look for food ¡­" Yang Qingtian said angrily.


    Seeing the three of them not replying, Yang Qingtian asked again: "Where''s that stinking brat Lin Tian?"


    "Principal, Headmaster, we don''t know where Lin Tian went, so we came here to find him ¡­" Fang Xing hesitated for a moment before replying honestly.


    "Hmm? Lin Tian isn''t inside? " Hearing this, Yang Qingtian asked in disbelief.


    "You dare to say that you also thought that he was inside?" Du Feng opened his mouth in surprise and then looked at Yang Qingtian.


    "That''s strange, this kid isn''t in there. Where would he be?" At this moment, Yang Qingtian also had a face of astonishment, just now, it was clear that Lin Tian had broken through the barrier and entered deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, but now there was nothing inside.


    "Did something happen?" Yang Qingtian immediately thought of another possibility. Thinking of this, Yang Qingtian could no longer remain calm.


    That kid is the hope of the Northern Courtyard. Anyone can get into trouble. However, only that kid can''t get into trouble ¡­

 C264

    Thinking of this, Yang Qingtian immediately wanted to rush into the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. However, after looking at the three of them, he still asked: "Why are you looking for Lin Tian?"


    "Someone wants to kill Lin Tian!" Before Gu Yan''er and Du Feng could say anything, Fang Xing spoke first.


    Hearing this, Yang Qingtian stopped in his tracks, turned around, and viciously grabbed Fang Xing. His eyes turned bloodshot as he asked, "You, what did you just say?"


    "Please calm down, Headmaster. Listen to me speak slowly ¡­" Seeing Yang Qingtian''s expression, Fang Xing jumped in fright. He quickly turned to Yang Qingtian, afraid that if Yang Qingtian couldn''t hold it in and slapped him to death, then the loss would be even worse than the loss.


    Right now, Yang Qingtian''s eyes and face were indeed a little scary, but he looked as if he wanted to eat someone alive.


    Gu Yan''er and Du Feng were also shocked, but at this moment they could also see Lin Tian''s position in Yang Qingtian''s heart.


    This was Yang Qingtian''s subconscious reaction just now. This was proof from the other side that Yang Qingtian cared deeply about Lin Tian in his heart.


    Yang Qingtian could also feel that his reaction had been too extreme. After calming himself down, he released Fang Xing and asked in a low voice, "Just what is going on here?"


    "Mm, it''s like this." Fang Xing then told Yang Qingtian about White Light and Lei Lie''s sneaky movements in Lin TianAo''s Lin TianAo''s cave.


    To be honest, Fang Xing had no idea what the two of them were here for, but he definitely didn''t have any good intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have lingered around Lin Tian''s cave for so long.


    Therefore, Fang Xing simply said that they had come to kill Lin Tian. This way, they could borrow Yang Qingtian''s power to help Lin Tian survive this calamity.


    "Two Symbol Masters?" His strength and cultivation are both at the level of a Spirit Symbol Master, or even above that? " Yang Qingtian was slightly startled, but immediately reacted.


    "It''s White Light and Lei Lie ¡­" Yang Qingtian immediately guessed the identity of the two men.


    When the two of them had first arrived, Yang Qingtian was still a little doubtful as to why they had come here. However, now that Fang Xing had mentioned it, Yang Qingtian understood why they were here, and why they were after Lin Tian.


    No wonder he wasn''t allowed to accompany himself and the other instructors, and even found a crappy reason to modify the Spirit Convergence Array.


    One must know that the white light had an unknown status. He was the president of the Azure Province''s Symbol Master Guild, and his position was comparable to the headmaster of the Azure Province''s headquarters, Gu Qingyuan.


    At that time, in order to reward all the talented students, the students who entered the Proclamation of Azure Province all had a cave for them to cultivate in.


    Each of them had a powerful Spirit Convergence Array in their cave in order to condense spirit energy so that their students could cultivate and break through faster.


    At that time, Bai Guang wasn''t even the president of the Azure Province Symbol Master Guild, but even so, in order to invite him to set up this Spirit Convergence Array, Gu Qing Yuan had still personally come out. Furthermore, the Azure Province Institute had even paid a great price for it, which was why they were able to invite him here.


    However, right now, Bai Guang was saying that he would help them reinspect and modify the formation array for free, which was quite strange. Previously, Yang Qingtian didn''t understand why, but now, he suddenly understood.


    If all of this was directed at Lin Tian, then the matter could be explained. However, this way, a new problem would arise.


    What was their purpose in coming to find Lin Tian?


    What was special about Lin Tian? Was it worth the president of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild to personally come here?


    With this thought, Yang Qingtian felt that something was wrong. However, he was now more hesitant, because he didn''t know where he should go now.


    Right now, it was very possible that Lin Tian was even deeper than the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. That place was an extremely dangerous place and Yang Qingtian was currently very worried about Lin Tian.


    But he also wanted to know the reason why Bai Guang and Lei Lie had come to this place to find Lin Tian.


    Yang Qingtian was at a loss for a moment, but he did not hesitate for long. Yang Qingtian decided to first find Lin Tian, he could just put aside the matter between Lei Lie and Bai Guang. Once he found Lin Tian, he could then go and confront him with him together with Lin Tian.


    Therefore, Yang Qingtian instructed the three of them to return and wait for Lin Tian. Once they found out that Lin Tian had returned, they would inform him immediately.


    Like this, after the division of labor was clear, Yang Qingtian did not hesitate as his body speed was extremely fast. He quickly rushed towards the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. He knew that every time he wasted a bit of time, Lin Tian would become more dangerous.


    In the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, even if Yang Qingtian were to enter, he would have to be extremely careful. There were many greater demons there that even he did not dare to provoke, not to mention Lin Tian.


    The three of them didn''t hesitate and directly flew back to Lin Tian''s cave.


    However, when Fang Xing and the other three returned to Lin Tian''s cave, they were all stunned.


    The three stared blankly at the scene in front of them, feeling incredulous.


    "Fang Xing, are you really the worm in Lin Tian''s stomach? How did you know he was back?" Gu Yan''er had a face full of shock. Just a moment ago, Fang Xing was still saying that perhaps Lin Tian had already returned.


    This, the reality in front of them told them that Lin Tian Zhen had returned, and looking at the situation, Lin Tian should have returned a long time ago ¡­ ¡­


    "It really is Lin Kuang, he can''t even stay still for a second. Will he even be tired if he continues to fight like this?" Du Feng couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Sigh, when did I see him? If he wasn''t cultivating or fighting, I wouldn''t be too used to it ¡­" Fang Xing also agreed.


    Every time the three of them saw Lin Tian, Lin Tian was either fighting or cultivating.


    Right now, it was no exception. It was just that the most terrifying thing was that Lin Tian was currently fighting a powerful spirit runemaster.


    That''s right, as soon as they returned, they saw the battle between Lin Tian and that white light. The battle between the two was extremely terrifying and the nearby situation where not even a blade of grass grew.


    Lin Tian had already waved his spear who knew how many times.


    He had been using only two moves over and over again.


    The god of slaughter, the heart kill!


    It was almost an unreasonable collision between the two powers.


    The more White Light fought, the more shocked he became. This Lin Tian had simply surpassed his knowledge ¡­.


    This Lin Tian isn''t a human.


    His mental energy seemed to be inexhaustible, as each of his spear strikes contained an incomparably strong amount of mental energy.


    And like this, every time he wanted to use Lin Tian''s spear, he had to use all of his strength.


    He had originally thought that with his rank two spirit runemaster strength, he could completely crush this kid. However, the reality was that he was almost crushed by Lin Tian ¡­


    His mental strength was not as strong as Lin Tian''s. If he continued to fight like this, he would be crushed sooner or later.


    However, this made it difficult for White Light to accept.


    He, a Rank Two spirit runemaster, was actually not a match for a kid who had just stepped into the spirit runemaster realm!


    "Could it be that this kid is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!?" White Light thought in his heart, but it didn''t seem like it. This brat seemed to be using him as a target to train his spear, because after repeating it over and over again, Lin Tian only had two moves!


    But thinking about it like this, White Light was even more shocked. This proved something, this proved that Lin Tian had never used his full strength, which was why he was using him to train his spear ¡­


    Or perhaps, the Spirit Convergence Array in front of the abode was modified by this kid?


    But how could this be possible!?

 C265

    Just as he was thinking about this, not too far away, White Light suddenly realized that someone had come.


    The white light called out to stop once again, "Little brother, stop for a moment, stop for a moment!"


    Lin Tian was in high spirits, how could he be willing to stop. It was as if he didn''t hear it as he fired another shot.


    The white light didn''t counterattack. Instead, it jumped out of Lin Tian''s attack range and stood still.


    Lin Tian didn''t finish his shot with his spear. Instead, he retracted his spear and stood still. He had also sensed the arrival of Fang Xing''s trio just now.


    He stopped his spear this time and walked up to Fang Xing''s trio, saying with some displeasure, "Why are you guys here?"


    The next moment, the three of them simultaneously said to Lin Tian, "As expected of Lin Kuang, he ¡­"


    Fang Xing then told Lin Tian everything that had happened, from the beginning to the end, including how they had gone to look for Lin Tian, to Yang Qingtian to look for Lin Tian. All of them had told Lin Tian everything.


    "The dean is also looking for me ¡­" Lin Tian slightly frowned and said: "Then quickly go and inform him that there''s no need to find him ¡­"


    "Oh." Du Feng did not hesitate and directly left. His fastest speed was naturally to let him go forward and report to Yang Qingtian.


    Lin Tian took a look at Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er and felt a wave of emotions surge through his heart. He hadn''t thought that these three would be so reliable at such a crucial moment.


    However, he also explained, "I was indeed cultivating in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. However, I immediately sensed the presence of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range when they touched my formation, so I immediately rushed back."


    "No wonder." Fang Xing nodded his head. If that was the case, it would be the case. However, Lin Tian had happened to be at the wrong place with them, so they hadn''t run into each other yet.


    "What is the purpose of these two coming here?" Gu Yan''er knitted her brows before sweeping her eyes over Bai Guang and Lei Lie.


    "I don''t know." Lin Tian shook his head. This was the truth. He had no idea what the two of them were doing in front of his dwelling.


    Previously, Lin Tian had thought that they were going to occupy his cave abode, but now, from the looks of it, it didn''t seem quite like it. These two weren''t Northern Courtyard disciples, and they weren''t even disciples of the Azure Province Academy, so how could they possibly come back to occupy his cave abode?


    "If you don''t ask them what their goal is, then just fight with them?" Fang Xing could not help but ask.


    "What are you asking about? I don''t think they have any good intentions anyway. Just knock them down ¡­" Lin Tian had a face of certainty. Just now, he had gained a lot from his battle with that white light.


    He was ranked number one among all the Symbol Masters Lin Tian had ever seen, so when he fought with Bai Guang, he was practically unceasingly training his Slaughtering God and Murdering Heart Style. Compared to fighting with demon beasts, fighting against humans was much more beneficial.


    Gu Yan''er and Fang Xing were both at a loss for words. He, he didn''t even ask her about her intentions, and she was already fighting him?


    This, using the name Battle Mad Demon on Lin Tian, it couldn''t be any more appropriate ¡­


    At this time, Lin Tian had finally stopped. How could that white light give Lin Tian a chance to continue fighting and he hurriedly said to Lin Tian: "Little brother, don''t misunderstand. We''ve come to find you for no other reason."


    "Looking for me?" Lin Tian slightly froze for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "So your goal was to find me, but, I don''t know the reason you are looking for me ¡­ ¡­"


    "Little brother, may I ask, who modified the formation in front of your cave?" Bai Guang immediately voiced out his doubts. He had come to modify the Spirit Convergence Array''s person, not to feed Lin Tian ¡­


    "Oh, so it''s this. This formation was personally modified by me. Is there a problem?" Lin Tian finally reacted. So it was for this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.


    This was understandable. No wonder when he came back earlier, he saw the white light continuously using his Spiritual Sense to sense his Spiritual Concentration Formation. This was a common ailment of Symbol Masters, once he saw a good array, he could not help but want to check it out.


    "You really modified it!" The white light stared straight at Lin Tian and his breathing immediately became hurried.


    "Yeah, is there a problem?" Lin Tian was startled. He could see a trace of extremely complex emotions from those bright eyes.


    He hesitated for a moment and then explained, "There was originally a Spirit Convergence Array in front of the cave, but that Spirit Convergence Array was too trashy and the speed at which it condenses the world''s spirit energy is too slow. It would be better if there wasn''t ¡­"


    Speaking up to this point, Bai Guang''s face immediately darkened. However, Lin Tian did not see it.


    So, I changed it a bit, it''s much better now, the speed at which I condense spiritual energy is hundreds of times faster than before, in any case, it should barely be enough, but with my current strength, I can only change it to a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. When I become stronger in the future, I can change it again and change it to a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array.


    This was the first time Lin Tian saw a high-level Symbol Master, so he couldn''t help but say a few more words.


    "Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array ¡­" Bai Guang listened to what Lin Tian said. His eyes were a little doubtful at first, but soon after, he became excited and overjoyed: "So that''s how it is, there''s actually a second grade Spirit Convergence Array, a third grade Spirit Convergence Array. No wonder it can be used on my Spirit Convergence Array without any feeling of incompatibility.


    Bai Guang muttered to himself, then he suddenly arrived in front of Lin Tian and impatiently said to Lin Tian: "Little brother, teach me, teach me how to lay down a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he smiled and said: "Why should I teach you?"


    "Hmm?" The inheritance between Symbol Masters was extremely important. Whether it was Symbol Techniques, Cultivation Methods, Inscription Techniques, or even Inscription Techniques, they were all top secret techniques and were not passed down to outsiders.


    Even if it was an exchange between Symbol Masters, it was still experience, experience, or even a few unimportant Symbol Techniques. This Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was completely unheard-of and was definitely Lin Tian''s secret that he had to let others teach it to him.


    Little brother, you can state your conditions to me. As long as I can do it, you can just mention it, or whatever glyph skills, martial arts, magic treasures, medicinal pills, spirit stones, all of them are fine. As long as they are within my capabilities, I can exchange them all. White light returned to reality and immediately wanted to use an exchange to obtain Lin Tian''s Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.

 C266

    "Old Bai, this ¡­" Lei Lie was stunned. He wanted to say something, but a cold light suddenly swept over him. That Lei Lie didn''t dare to say anything else.


    Everything was very different from what he had expected. Why did Old Bai change right now? He had initially said that he would make use of the person who had interrupted him at the critical moment to make him fail in his attempt to break through to the Rank 3 Spirit Symbol Master stage to pay the price. But now that he knew that Lin Tian was the culprit, why did he call Lin Tian his brother?


    And also had to exchange for Lin Tian''s second level Spirit Convergence Array''s inscription method?


    Lin Tian was also slightly startled and then asked: "You want the second level Spirit Convergence Array''s laying method?"


    "Yes." Bai Guang nodded without the slightest hesitation.


    Although he knew that Lin Tian had failed to modify this formation to become a Rank 3 Spirit Symbol Master, Bai Guang did not hold any resentment towards Lin Tian ¡­


    Everything was a coincidence. Before, he didn''t know Lin Tian at all, and Lin Tian naturally didn''t know him either. The two had no grudges nor hatred, so it was impossible for Lin Tian to know that he was in closed door cultivation.


    Therefore, all of this could only be explained by coincidence.


    Moreover, his revenge was already submerged in the fight just now. He did not doubt that if he and Lin Tian continued fighting just now, there would only be one result and that was that Lin Tian would defeat him.


    Although Lin Tian''s cultivation was only at the first rank spirit runemaster level, his strength, especially in terms of the strength of his mental strength, was comparable to a third rank spirit runemaster!


    In other words, Lin Tian''s talisman dao strength was even stronger than him. Even if he wanted to take revenge and make Lin Tian pay the price, was it possible to achieve that? He couldn''t beat Lin Tian ¡­


    Of course, the most important thing was the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array that Lin Tian had mentioned.


    Even though he had studied the inscriptions for many years, he had never heard of any Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array or Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array.


    He only knew that there was a Spiritual Concentration Formation and didn''t know that there were different levels.


    Lin Tian''s previous words had practically opened the door to a new world of light.


    Of course, the most important thing was that before Lin Tian arrived, the white light had used his own spiritual will to sense the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, which had allowed him to gain a new understanding. He even felt that if he studied this formation for a while, he had absolute confidence in breaking through to Rank 3 spirit runemaster.


    This was the most crucial point.


    A Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array had the opportunity to allow him to break through!


    White light naturally would not let him go, which was why he said the words he had said to Lin Tian.


    "You are also a Soul Symbol Master, so you naturally know the rules between Symbol Masters ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled and said.


    Hearing Lin Tian say this sentence, Bai Guang''s face immediately darkened. Without waiting for Lin Tian to finish speaking, he abruptly clenched his teeth as if he had made up his mind.


    "Sir, there''s no need to say anymore, I understand ¡­"


    White Light took a step back and said.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled before saying in astonishment: "I haven''t said anything yet, what do you understand?"


    White Light took another step back. Lin Tian suddenly became anxious: "Don''t go, the price ¡­ ¡­"


    But before Lin Tian even finished saying the three words "we can discuss", the white light actually did something that shocked everyone.


    He slowly kneeled on the ground and said to Lin Tian, "Master, I am white, and I am willing to acknowledge Lin Tian as my master. From now on, I will serve master and will not disobey my master, I will follow my master''s lead ¡­"


    What he said next, Lin Tian did not listen. He already knew what Bai Guang meant. Bai Guang actually wanted to acknowledge Lin Tian as his master ¡­


    Just now, Bai Guang''s bow was to become Lin Tian''s disciple. That''s right, Bai Guang wanted to become Lin Tian''s disciple.


    Lin Tian was immediately a bit confused.


    What he said earlier didn''t mean that ¡­


    Lin Tian was willing to exchange what White Light had just said.


    Lin Tian''s second level Spirit Convergence Array originally came from the memories of the Symbol Master he swallowed before.


    In the memory of the Symbol Master, there were countless Symbol Techniques. Of course, there were also countless array formations, countless array formations that were much stronger than this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.


    In the memory of the Symbol Master, this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was considered to be one of the more trashy array formations.


    However, from what White Light was saying, this formation was a priceless treasure for White Light.


    Like this, Lin Tian Deng had a good idea.


    He wasn''t lacking anything, just spirit stones. Just now, Bai Guang had said that he could exchange for any resources, including spirit stones.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment because he wanted to bargain with that white light. After all, this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was useless in his hands. The speed at which spiritual energy was being gathered still did not satisfy Lin Tian.


    Thus, rather than placing this trash array in his own hands, he might as well throw it out and trade it for spirit stones.


    However, just as he was about to increase the bid, this white light seemed to have gone crazy and said he understood.


    Understand your sister!


    You''re saying that you want to take me as your master?


    Do you think I can take you in? Didn''t I want to teach you this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array for free?


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with disdain. He immediately pulled back the white light and didn''t let him kowtow.


    "No, no, no. You misunderstood me. I don''t have any plans to accept disciples ¡­" Lin Tian directly pulled back the white light without saying anything.


    He definitely could not allow him to hit it. If he really did, it would be hard to explain.


    "Hmm?" Bai Guang was slightly startled. He didn''t know what was going on.


    "Master, do you dislike my Symbol Dao cultivation being weak?" Bai Guang''s face was full of grievance. He was determined to get a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, even if it meant giving his life on the line.


    Lin Tian looked at Bai Guang''s wronged expression and forcefully held back his desire to vomit. He couldn''t help but feel his balls hurt. Why did he always have to come across this kind of extreme quality ¡­


    "Puff ¡­" To one side, Lei Lie watched this transformation. Finally, he could not resist and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "This, this ¡­" Lei Lie''s face was filled with incredulity as he shook his head nonstop, "This, this is impossible, how is this possible, Old Bai, why is Old Bai kneeling to this brat, even wanting to be his disciple ¡­"


    "What the f * ck!" At this moment, Yang Qingtian, who had just rushed back, couldn''t help but curse when he saw the scene in front of him.


    What was going on in front of him? White light? That was the president of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild, White light. How could he suddenly kneel to Lin Tian ¡­

 C267

    Gu Yan''er and Fang Xing, who had been paying attention to the situation, were also in disbelief, not knowing what had just happened. Didn''t they just say that they were going to use resources to exchange for Lin Tian''s Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array?


    They looked at the current situation in a daze, but what surprised them even more was Lin Tian''s reaction.


    A Rank Two spirit runemaster wanted to acknowledge him as his master, but Lin Tian refused without the slightest hesitation ¡­.


    Lin Tian looked at the white light. He didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said: "No no no, I won''t accept disciples ¡­ ¡­"


    Of course, Lin Tian decisively refused. He had been hoping that the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array would be able to trap him a little while longer ¡­ No, he was selling them for more Spirit Stones. How could he possibly accept him as a disciple?


    The second level Spirit Convergence Array was extremely important to him. After all, this matter was related to him breaking through to the third level, spirit runemaster. One must know, the strength and status of a third level spirit runemaster was absolutely incomparable to that of a second level spirit runemaster.


    He naturally wouldn''t let go of this opportunity, so he said with a sincere face, "Master, then how are you willing to accept me as your disciple?"


    "Don''t, don''t call me master, you''re not my disciple ¡­" Lin Tian interrupted Bai Guang''s words and asked: "You mean that you want the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, right?"


    Lin Tian''s burning eyes stared at the white light.


    "That''s right." Bai Guang nodded.


    "That''s right. What you want is my Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. However, you might want to acknowledge me as your master!" Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "Hmm?" Bai Guang was slightly startled, as if he didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.


    Lin Tian snappily said: "Didn''t you just say that you could use any resources to exchange for my Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array? "I don''t need you to acknowledge me as your master. I only need enough High Grade Spirit Stones."


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Bai Guang was even more astonished. As a Rank 2 spirit runemaster, he already had the face to become a spirit runemaster, but he was actually rejected.


    However, thinking about this kid''s boundless spiritual power and terrifying talisman cultivation, the white light immediately became relieved.


    Although Lin Tian had just stepped into the spirit runemaster realm, his cultivation was already so strong that it was not inferior to his, a Rank 2 spirit runemaster. Thinking about it like this, the master behind this kid must be a big shot.


    An existence like this might not necessarily be able to lay his eyes on a mere Rank 2 Soul Symbol Master.


    Thinking of this, White Light immediately understood Lin Tian''s meaning.


    He didn''t think too much about it. If the resources Lin Tian wanted were spirit stones, then it was very possible that it was because he lacked spirit stones resources that he used the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array to exchange for it.


    However, in this way, White Light became a bit excited. This was because his goal was to obtain the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, so he did not care about what methods he used.


    If Lin Tian really did lack spirit stone resources, he could use them to exchange for that Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. Then he would be able to profit out of it. Moreover, he would be able to earn a lot.


    As the president of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild, he was only interested in the Dao of Talismans, so he didn''t care much about martial arts.


    Tian Luo''s Symbol Master Guild would issue a large amount of spirit stone resources every year.


    After all these years, there had been a lot left behind.


    Also, if he really wanted spirit stones, then he could find some big families. His inscription patterns and inscription technique was something that no one in the Azure Province dared to use as a condition. He needed how many spirit stones he needed, and it was likely that the big families would also take it out.


    However, this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array could be considered a secret that was not passed on. It was extremely precious, but this brat actually came to exchange for spirit stones. What a waste of such a treasure ¡­


    Thinking up to here, Bai Guang immediately said, "Okay, but I wonder how many Spirit Stones do you need before you are willing to exchange for that Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array?"


    Lin Tian thought for a moment and then said: "This will depend on your sincerity."


    To be honest, even Lin Tian did not know how much spirit stone resources his Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array could be worth.


    After all, in the memories of the Charm Magician from before, this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was one of the trashy array formations. Lin Tian randomly chose an array and its power was much stronger than this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array.


    He didn''t know much about inscription patterns and the art of inscriptions.


    Therefore, if he were to bid too much, it would scare Bai Guang away. However, if he were to bid too little, he would lose again.


    As a result, he directly kicked the ball to the side of White Light and had White Light bid.


    Like this, if Lin Tian met anyone who wanted to buy his array, he would have a reference point.


    He was not afraid of being cheated by the white light, because just now, the white light had spared no face and wanted to become his disciple for the sake of this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. From this, it could be seen that the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was very important to the white light, and the spirit stone resources were not too useful to a Symbol Master.


    Thus, the white light definitely wouldn''t harm him, unless he was retarded ¡­


    When Bai Guang heard this, he immediately understood that this Lin Tian came to test his sincerity.


    Therefore, Bai Guang did not hesitate and directly said: "Little brother, to be honest, I did not think that I would be able to use Spirit Stone resources to exchange for this kind of secret. This is because among Symbol Masters, this is a priceless treasure, unless they use an equally powerful formation to exchange for it, I really do not know how many Spirit Stones to offer ¡­"


    "Hmm?" This time it was Lin Tian''s turn to be shocked.


    "What the hell, a priceless treasure?" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with shock: "This trash thing, you actually told me that this is a priceless treasure?"


    "Looks like there really is a problem with this White Light Brain..." However, Lin Tian also understood from Bai Guang''s words.


    This formation is very valuable ¡­


    Although Lin Tian was shocked in his heart, his face was still unperturbed, as if he had long since known that Bai Guang would say this.


    After saying that, Bai Guang lowered his head to ponder for a moment before he said, "How about this, I still have some stock of around a million high-grade spirit stones ¡­"


    Speaking up to this point, Bai Guang immediately noticed that Lin Tian''s face was a bit off. He quickly added: "Little brother, don''t be impatient. This one million high grade spirit stones is only the beginning ¡­ ¡­"


    Bai Guang continued, "The other Symbol Masters should have one million and five hundred thousand in total. However, I also have some top grade spirit stones and even low-grade spirit crystals. If you count them, I have quite a few ¡­"


    He then looked up and said to Lin Tian in a somewhat awkward manner: "Little brother, at this point, I can only take out this much. Otherwise, I would have some Spirit Treasures, some symbols, even some medicinal pills and other items, which can all be used in exchange ¡­"


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything just now, but when Bai Guang said this, Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Bai Guang''s words: "No, I only want the spirit stones ¡­"


    Bai Guang was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay, as long as it''s a spirit stone, as long as it''s a spirit stone ¡­"


    "However, I have so many. How about this? I''ll give you this much first. When I return, I''ll sell all the other things. How about I give you the spirit stones in exchange?" Bai Guang looked at Lin Tian with an expectant look, afraid that Lin Tian would refuse.


    "There''s no rush. When are you going to collect the Spirit Stones? When will the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array be passed on to you ¡­" Lin Tian faintly smiled.


    He is someone who doesn''t set down an eagle without even seeing a rabbit. Naturally, he can''t possibly be the first one to set up the formation ¡­


    "Of course." Bai Guang agreed, then immediately gave Lin Tian a storage ring: "I only have this many spirit stones. I''ll give it to you first, consider that I''ve reserved this formation ¡­."


    Lin Tian took over the white light storage ring and looked through it a little. Then he felt a wave of ecstasy: "I''ve struck it rich, I''ve hit it rich ¡­ ¡­"

 C268

    It turned out that Lin Tian had roughly checked earlier. This storage ring had over a million high-grade spirit stones.


    It should be all of the inventory that White light mentioned.


    Although Lin Tian was experienced and knowledgeable, when he saw the one million spirit stones, he couldn''t help but be shocked.


    He thought that the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array would be very valuable, but he didn''t expect it to be this valuable. This was already completely beyond his imagination.


    But thinking of this, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something. White light was willing to pay such a huge price in order to exchange for this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array of his. If it was like this, wouldn''t he want less ¡­ ¡­


    Also, Lin Tian suddenly thought of another question. Should I have accepted that white light as a disciple just now?


    If that was the case, then all of the resources in the White Light Spirit Stone would be his. He could have the White Light to pay respect to him ¡­


    But as soon as he thought of this, Lin Tian interrupted his own thoughts.


    There were too many troublesome matters to deal with when taking in a disciple. Moreover, there were too many secrets on his body that no one could leak out. Moreover, he had to instruct him when taking in a disciple.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian shook his head. It was better if he was alone.


    After seeing Lin Tian accept his storage ring, Bai Guang''s heart was at ease. Without hesitation, he turned to Lin Tian Yun: "Little brother, with this, I won''t stay here any longer. I''ll go back and prepare the spirit stones. I''ll bring all of the spirit stones here within three days at the latest."


    "Yes." Lin Tian was currently immersed in the joy of having one million spirit stones. Seeing his white face become much friendlier, he slightly nodded his head.


    "Old Bai, this brat has delayed your breakthrough to become a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master. How could you let him off just like that ¡­" Just as White Light was about to leave, Lei Lie who was behind him clenched his teeth and shouted at him.


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and come with me!" White Radiance''s complexion immediately changed. This Lei Lie was originally so smart, but why did he suddenly become confused? Why was he saying all this in front of this brat?


    During the conversation between Bai Guang and Lin Tian, Bai Guang hadn''t mentioned anything, but that was not because of anything else. It was because in Lin Tian''s hands, Bai Guang wanted something that was the most important.


    With the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, it wouldn''t be long before he could gain a new understanding and even continue to breakthrough to Rank 3 spirit runemaster. Moreover, with the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, his chances of breaking through to Rank 3 spirit runemaster would be even greater.


    How could he possibly tell Lin Tian this right now?


    Originally, this matter could not be considered as mentioned in the letter. However, he did not expect that Lei Lie would actually bring it up again.


    "Wait!" Lin Tian immediately recovered his senses and stared at Lei Lie. Then, his gaze turned towards the white light and asked: "What''s going on, why do I hear his words to mean that I delayed you breaking through to the third step spirit runemaster. It''s just that I don''t understand, what does your failure to break through to the third step have to do with me?"


    "It''s fine, it''s fine ¡­" Bai Guang smiled as he spoke, then shot a glance at Lei Lie in a crazed manner.


    "I didn''t ask you!" Lin Tian''s eyes immediately narrowed. He stared at Lei Lie and then coldly spat out a word: "Speak!"


    He knew that this was his last chance. This kid had killed his disciple, and originally, he wanted to use this kid''s blade to kill someone, which was to say, borrow the power of the white light to kill this brat. He wanted to take revenge for his disciple, but he did not expect that everything that was happening now was completely different from what he had imagined.


    This kid''s strength was still a lot stronger than his. Lei Lie found it even more difficult to accept that White Light had actually become friends with Lin Tian.


    Even if White Light and Lin Tian couldn''t become enemies, they definitely could not be friends.


    Lin Tian had enmity with him, and he was now just a subordinate. If Lin Tian came close to Bai Guang, he would not be facing this enemy that killed his disciple at all times. With Lei Lie''s personality, it would be completely unacceptable, it would cause his heart to be possessed ¡­


    As a result, Lei Lie clenched his teeth and stood out. It was not for anything else but to destroy the connection that Lin Tian had established with that white light.


    Lei Lie straightened his back and said, "Alright, since Old Bai is unwilling to say it, then I''ll say it on his behalf ¡­"


    When you first changed the Spirit Convergence Array that Old Bai had laid down, Old Bai was in closed-door training to break through to the rank 3 spirit runemaster. Moreover, he was in seclusion until the most critical moment, and you are also a Symbol Master, you should know that a Symbol Master is in closed-door training and refuses to be disturbed by anyone.


    This Spirit Convergence Array was set up by Old Bai. Naturally, there is a weak link between Old Bai and that Spirit Convergence Array, this is a normal connection, and at a critical moment, especially when you are in seclusion, this is a fatal threat. Yet, you changed the formation, causing Old Bai to fail his closed door training, and even nearly caused Old Bai''s death ¡­ "


    "Hmm?" He did not expect that there was actually such a reason behind it. The reason why he had changed this formation at that time was completely because he had digested the Symbol Master''s memories and found a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. Therefore, he changed it a little, just so that the Spirit Convergence Array could be considered even stronger and provide him with an endless supply of Spiritual Aura.


    He did not think that it would affect the white light, however, this was also an unintentional action, he naturally did not feel that he had let down the white light, but this Lei Lie had actually given Lin Tian the big hat of being the culprit, causing Lin Tian to feel displeased in his heart.


    "Oh, if that''s the case, then the reason you guys came here was to get revenge on me, right? No wonder you guys were acting so sneaky in front of my cave abode." Lin Tian''s face instantly turned cold.


    "Why? Don''t want to admit it?" Lei Lie said with a savage look on his face, "You are the main culprit behind Old Bai''s retreat, and all of this was because of you. It''s one thing if you don''t say that you are responsible, but you actually went as far as asking for it.


    "Oh, so you''re saying that I''m going to kneel in front of you, kowtow three times, and beg your forgiveness?" Lin Tian asked Lei Lie with a gloomy face.


    "It''s not that. Considering that you know your wrongs and can correct them, if there really is a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, you can hand it over and then apologize to Elder Bai. Then, I''ll leave this matter at that, or else ¡­"


    "Otherwise what?" Lin Tian was already on the verge of exploding.


    It was obvious that this Lei Lie wanted to cause trouble, but since he had met such an existence, there was no need to give him face. With the white light in his closed door cultivation, at most, those who were disturbed by him would not be guilty, or else he would ask him for less spirit stones to express his apology. After all, Lin Tian was not some unreasonable and unreasonable person, but if he said that he was unscrupulous and unscrupulous, then Lin Tian couldn''t help but want to kill this Lei Lie.


    Do you really think that he is easy to bully? You even asked me to hand over the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array and apologize ¡­


    "Otherwise, I will call upon all Symbol Masters to boycott you, making it difficult for one Symbol Master to take even a single step. Even if you practice the Dao of Symbol, you are a heretic, and anyone can kill you!" Lei Lie felt elated at this moment. He also thought that Lin Tian had been scared by his words.


    "Threatening me?" Lin Tian was so angry that he laughed: "Interesting. Alright, then go die!"


    No one could threaten Lin Tian. Anyone who could threaten Lin Tian was killed by him ¡­


    This Lei Lie was no exception!

 C269

    After saying the words'' let Lei Lie die '', Lin Tian''s figure suddenly exploded forth as he crazily charged towards Lei Lie.


    "You!" He completely did not think that Lin Tian would attack as soon as he said it. Just now seeing Lin Tian''s reaction, he thought that Lin Tian was scared off by his words, but now it seems like he was thinking too much.


    "Divine Punisher Shuttle!" At this moment in Lin Tian''s Divine Manor, an incomparably strong mental energy surged out before transforming into an incomparable shuttle shaped rain of arrows. In the next moment, that Divine Punisher Shuttle landed in front of Lei Lie.


    Before Lei Lie could even react, he was completely suppressed by the power of Lin Tian''s God Slaying Shuttle.


    "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    Lei Lie hurriedly called out his mental power and formed a mental energy barrier in front of him. However, these mental force barriers were practically useless in front of Lin Tian.


    Lei Lie was only a spirit runemaster and Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster. However, Lin Tian''s mental strength was several tens or even a hundred times thicker than Lei Lie''s.


    If they really fought, Lei Lie would not be Lin Tian''s match at all.


    The reason why Lin Tian did not kill them was because he did not think of using them to practice his spear.


    But now it was different. Lei Lie was courting death, and that didn''t blame him.


    In the blink of an eye, the God-Slaying Shuttle destroyed Lei Lie''s spiritual energy barrier and continued to attack Lei Lie''s Divine Palace.


    Lei Lie only felt a slight tremble in his mind. Then, a heart-wrenching pain from his soul gushed into his heart.


    He was just about to take action again, when he suddenly saw Lin Tian''s spear suddenly explode out.


    Shi Mu was shocked. It was already too late for him to dodge.


    "God of Slaughter!" Lin Tian raised his head and roared at the sky. A transparent long dragon suddenly formed on the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. The moment the transparent long dragon appeared, it immediately let out a long roar and rushed towards Lei Lie.


    Lei Lie instantly felt that something was amiss. However, it was already too late for him to escape.


    "Kill!"


    Lin Tian''s face was overflowing with killing intent as his spear thrust forward.


    "Roar!" In the next moment, the long azure dragon pierced through Lei Lie''s body.


    It was at this time that Lei Lie''s body violently shook. His body suddenly emitted a strange muffled sound.


    After which, Lei Lie''s body weakly fell to the ground ¡­


    With the Slaughter God''s technique, Lin Tian''s spear had shattered Lei Lie''s soul.


    This was the power of the God of Slaughter!


    Lei Lie''s Destiny Soul Symbol did not even have the time to escape before it was shattered by the Slaughtering God''s First Style. The muffled sound that came from Lei Lie''s body earlier was the sound of his Destiny Soul Symbol shattering ¡­


    Lei Lie died.


    He died just like that ¡­


    Everyone was stunned on the spot. No one had expected that Lei Lie would be killed by Lin Tian in such a short period of time ¡­


    Lin Tian only had two moves to kill Lei Lie.


    One was the Godslayer Shuttle, the other was the Godslayer stance.


    In two moves, Lin Tian killed Lei Lie who was also a spirit runemaster. In fact, Lin Tian''s speed made it so that the white light couldn''t react and could only watch as Lei Lie died in Lin Tian''s hands.


    "Terrifying!" This was the only thought on Lei Lie''s mind. Lei Lie''s death could only prove that Lin Tian was terrifying.


    But at this time, White Light also knew that Lin Tian didn''t even use all his strength against them. He was really using them as targets to train his spear ¡­


    Now that he was putting his life on the line, only White Light knew Lin Tian''s true strength.


    "Little brother, you ¡­" White light who had recovered from his shock could not help but shout at Lin Tian.


    He never would have thought that Lin Tian would go to such extreme lengths to break Lei Lie''s Destiny Soul Symbol with a single spear strike.


    This also meant that before Lin Tian made his move, he wanted to completely eliminate Lei Lie ¡­


    "This is your storage ring ¡­" Lin Tian didn''t wait for White Light to finish and immediately threw over a storage ring. It was the storage ring that White Light had given to Lin Tian.


    But he never would have thought that Lin Tian would directly throw it back at him.


    "This ¡­" Bai Guang was perplexed. "Little brother, what do you mean by this? Didn''t we agree to it just now? Why did you go back on your word?"


    "Do you need me to apologize?" Lin Tian didn''t reply. He stared at White Light and asked.


    "Hmm?" White light slightly hesitated, but then he recalled that Lin Tian was talking about the matter where Lei Lie had broken his closed door cultivation ¡­


    Bai Guang shook his head and said anxiously, "Of course there''s no need to apologize. Little brother, you did not do it on purpose. I am not an unreasonable person. Please rest assured ¡­"


    "It''s good that you don''t need to apologize. If you need me to apologize, you will be next!" Lin Tian''s gaze was ice-cold.


    When White Light heard these words, he immediately felt his entire body turn cold ¡­


    It had to be known that the meaning behind Lin Tian''s words just now was already very obvious. If he really had to apologize, Lin Tian would not hesitate to make a move.


    "Fine, let me ask you one more time, the two of you came to my cave abode, and without my permission, you touched the formation I laid down. It''s already merciful enough that I didn''t kill you when I came back, but this person ¡­" Lin Tian pointed to Lei Lie who was lying on the ground, dead, and said: Not only are you spouting nonsense, you also want me to hand over the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, it''s a heart that can be destroyed, to be killed by me, is also his fault. However, I clearly understand our previous agreement, he is you, and so, I am giving the storage ring back to you, the choice to trade with us is in your hands, if you want to continue trading ¡­


    Lin Tian hadn''t even finished speaking when White Light had already tossed the storage ring in his hand to Lin Tian. He then interrupted Lin Tian and said: "Naturally, we''ll continue the trade ¡­ ¡­"


    Bai Guang continued saying, "He is him, I am me. Besides, the reason I came this time is also because of Lei Lie ¡­"


    Bai Guang told Lin Tian about the information that Lei Lie had sent to him as well as Lei Lie''s subsequent actions.


    However, at this point, Bai Guang felt that something was amiss. He was not stupid. Now that he thought about it, there was something wrong with Lei Lie.


    Before, Lei Lie had always been trying to trick him, saying that there was some sort of conspiracy behind his back. But now that he was confronting Lin Tian, the truth was revealed. This matter was just a misunderstanding.


    What was he thinking about? Even Bai Guang was able to guess ¡­


    Lin Tian furrowed his brows. After pondering for a while, he thought to himself: "It seems that this Lei Lie really does have a problem ¡­ ¡­"

 C270

    Lin Tian repeated this matter in his heart. He felt that something was really wrong.


    Based on what Bai Guang said, this Lei Lie is really here for me ¡­


    It was just that he and Lei Lie had no grudges in the past few days, and no grudges in the present. Why would he use the hand of the white light to get rid of him?


    "No grievances in the past? "I don''t think so..." Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    It was Hornless'' voice.


    Hearing Horned Demon''s words, Lin Tian was slightly startled and then asked: "What do you mean?"


    "Kid, do you remember when you released the news of you killing a Symbol Master?" Horned Demon smiled.


    "An Yuan?" Lin Tian immediately remembered. That was his first time coming into contact with the rune dao and he had killed the first Symbol Master, so his impression was especially clear.


    "That''s right. Do you still remember the assassination attempt you encountered that night when you returned to the Sky Dragon Academy from the Heavenly Thunder City?" Hornless asked again.


    "Of course I do." That assassin was also a Symbol Master. However, at that time, Lin Tian''s Symbol Dao cultivation was still far from being as terrifying as it was now, so he let the assassin escape.


    But what did Hornless mean by saying this now? Was there a connection?


    An Yuan and that assassin were both Symbol Masters ¡­


    "You''re not that stupid. The aura on Lei Lie''s body is exactly the same as the aura on the assassin and An Yuan ¡­" Horned Demon smiled and said, "In other words, the rune Tao techniques that they train in are from the same source ¡­"


    "What?" Lin Tian only just woke up at this moment, but he immediately understood what Horned Demon meant.


    The path of talismans was the most important one, so before talisman masters fought, it was customary to ask for guidance from each other, in order to avoid accidentally injuring one''s own people ¡­


    However, Horned Demon had mentioned that An Yuan, the assassin, and Lei Lie''s aura all came from the same origin. In that case, it could only mean one thing.


    Lei Lie could very likely be that An Yuan, as well as that assassin''s master.


    This was because Lei Lie was much stronger than those two.


    "That''s right, my guess is also the same. That assassin is very likely to be Lei Lie''s disciple, and since you killed An Yuan, Lei Lie would naturally know about it. At that time, it was not difficult for Lei Lie to find you, so it is reasonable for Lei Lie to send his disciple to assassinate you and take revenge for An Yuan ¡­" With Horned Demon''s words, Lin Tian immediately understood the cause and effect.


    "Actually, even if you hadn''t made your move just now, I would have also let you make your move. Lei Lie not dying, to you, is still a potential threat. Who knows, I might have been able to give you a fatal blow ¡­" Hornless'' words were filled with a hint of righteousness.


    This was also Lin Tian''s martial path, absolutely not leaving any path of survival for his enemies. To be merciful to his enemies, that was to be cruel to himself ¡­


    But up until now, Lin Tian also knew Lei Lie''s identity. Even some of his doubts from before became clear.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much and his gaze once again returned to the white light: "Since it''s like this, then I won''t waste any more words. Since you''ve decided to change it, then I naturally have no objections.


    "Of course, yes." Bai Guang nodded his head.


    "Alright, but, I need to add a condition ¡­" Saying this, Lin Tian suddenly said.


    "A condition?" With Lei Lie stirring up the issue, it was natural for Lin Tian to be dissatisfied and increase the price. He did not care too much about it, for the white light, Spirit Stones were simply nothing: "Okay, little brother, tell me, how much do you want to increase ¡­"


    But this time, Lin Tian only faintly smiled and then his lips opened a few times.


    Lin Tian''s voice immediately came from beside the white light.


    Transmission of information into secret was something Lin Tian had done on purpose.


    Because the condition he wanted to add on was not to add spirit stones, but to let the white light cut off the roots of Lei Lie''s bloodline ¡­


    What Horned Demon said was right. Being watched by his enemy was the greatest threat. Before, Lin Tian did not know, but now that he knew, he could not let this situation continue to happen.


    Even though Lei Lie was dead, that disciple of Lei Lie, the person who had once assassinated Lin Tian, was not dead yet ¡­


    He had to die!


    This was the additional condition that Lin Tian added.


    Bai Guang was silent for a moment, but then nodded his head.


    If the current him did not know what was happening, it would truly be a problem for him.


    This Lei Lie and Lin Tian had an old grudge. Otherwise, why would they have so many troubles at their birth?


    Lin Tian also wouldn''t ask to get rid of the roots ¡­


    Thinking of this, White Light immediately shivered. Fortunately, he had no grudge with Lin Tian, otherwise, facing such a Lin Tian, White Light really wouldn''t know how to deal with it ¡­


    This brat has strength, means, and even some viciousness. It is fortunate that I didn''t offend such an existence ¡­


    Seeing Bai Guang agree to his condition, Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "The agreement between you and me is valid. However, I don''t want the third person to know about the additional condition ¡­."


    White Light immediately nodded and said, "Understood, understood."


    Lin Tian indifferently waved his hand, letting the white light leave.


    The Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array was more important, even when the white light had arrived at the side, he could only slightly nod his head when he saw all the Yang Qingtian''s corpse from the beginning to the end. As for Lei Lie''s corpse, he had no time to care about it at all ¡­


    But Yang Qingtian was currently looking at Lin Tian with a thoughtful expression.


    He was shocked to the extreme and felt numb.


    As soon as he arrived, he heard that the white light wanted to take Lin Tian as his master. This really gave Yang Qingtian a fright.


    That was a white light, the president of the Cyan Plains Symbol Master Guild, a Rank Two spirit runemaster. He was on equal footing with Gu Qingyuan, but he actually wanted to acknowledge Lin Tian as his teacher ¡­


    However, what happened after that caused Yang Qingtian to be shocked again and again, until now, he was completely numb to it.


    Lin Tian gave him too much incredulity. He had already learnt it now and could not look at Lin Tian like how he looked at ordinary people.


    Lin Tian was a freak, no one could see through him.


    Thinking of this, Yang Qingtian did not think anymore and left. He believed that Lin Tian would be able to take care of everything that happened next ¡­ ¡­


    "What are you waiting for, clean up the corpse for me ¡­" Lin Tian shouted to the three people who were watching from the side.


    "The Freshmen Rites is about to begin. Have you guys finished your preparations? Since you''re so relaxed, Fang Xing, Du Feng, the two of you come with me to the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to train. I''ll help you guys increase your combat strength as soon as possible ¡­" Lin Tian directly said.


    "Why isn''t she here ¡­" Du Feng pointed at Gu Yan''er with a bitter expression.


    "She, she is cultivating in the cave, she broke through faster than all of you, and she is also stronger than all of you, don''t talk rubbish ¡­" Lin Tian unhappily said.


    "It''s over, I''ve been targeted by the battle maniacs. The following days will probably not be easy ¡­" Fang Xing sighed.

 C271

    It was just as Fang Xing had expected. Lin Tian had set his sights on him, and he still wanted to live a good life?


    It wasn''t that he didn''t place this battle maniac in his eyes.


    After solving the white light episode, both Fang Xing and Du Feng suffered. Lin Tian was just as he had said; he was really going to help Fang Xing and Du Feng cultivate.


    This assistance in training was absolutely not as simple as he claimed. It was more like a true battle.


    In the following period of time, other than Gu Yan''er, the reason he let her go was actually because Gu Yan''er''s physique was unparalleled.


    How could Lin Tian force Gu Yan''er to cultivate. Gu Yan''er only needed to cultivate for a single day in seclusion to be able to match the three of them that had been painstakingly cultivating for several days.


    This was the most frightening aspect of the Woeful Poison Body.


    As Fang Xing had a natural talisman body, Lin Tian naturally had one that corresponded to one''s body. When facing Fang Xing, he naturally had to temper Fang Xing''s mental powers even more.


    Moreover, Lin Tian had even passed the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike to Fang Xing. When Fang Xing heard that Lin Tian was going to pass on his Talisman Skills, Fang Xing was at a loss for a moment. However, Lin Tian had told him that the Talisman Skills of the Immortal''s Spike were already eliminated by him.


    He naturally knew that Lin Tian had a very strong cultivation on the rune dao, and from the looks of it, there should be a higher talent behind Lin Tian.


    To him, such a Talisman skill was very precious, but to Lin Tian, it shouldn''t be that precious.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. From the memories of the Symbol Master he had digested, there were many powerful Symbol Techniques. This Immortal Soul Piercer could be considered a relatively low level Symbol Technique.


    However, Lin Tian was also somewhat shocked because he had digested the Symbol Master''s memories. Currently, the stronger his Symbol Master''s cultivation, the more terrifying he felt. Within that memory, there were almost thirty different Symbol Techniques, seventy different Symbol Array Formations, and even the inscription pattern technique.


    In other words, his current memories contained over a hundred types of talisman dao methods.


    However, it was a pity that there were only a small number of offensive talisman skills among these hundred different kinds of talisman arts.


    Lin Tian only needed offensive type Symbol Techniques, but right now other than the Immortal Soul Piercing and Divine Punisher Shuttle, the other Symbol Techniques either did not meet Lin Tian''s requirements, or Lin Tian''s current strength did not allow him to cultivate them ¡­ ¡­


    However, this way, Lin Tian wasn''t in a hurry. He could borrow the strength of Fang Xing''s cultivation to once again comprehend and cultivate the Dao of Talismans.


    For the past few days, Lin Tian had always pursued cultivation in the Martial Dao realm, so he had somewhat wasted his cultivation in the Dao of talismans. Now that he had the time, he naturally wanted to go through it again ¡­


    Towards Du Feng, Lin Tian did not think too much and directly let Du Feng hunt some demon beasts, allowing Du Feng to quickly increase his own strength in actual combat.


    The demonic beasts in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range were all at least Rank 3 and Rank 5 demonic beasts, which could be compared with a human cultivator at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    Du Feng''s strength was around the third level of the Aurous Core Stage. Therefore, he could only barely contend against a third-level fifth-grade demonic beast.


    After all, even though he possesses the Heaven''s Path Body, he isn''t a battle maniac ¡­


    He did not have as many methods as Lin Tian did, so he naturally did not have as many combat skills as Lin Tian did.


    Therefore, every time he went to fight a third level fifth rank demon beast, Du Feng was determined to go with the hope of losing his life.


    However, the benefits were obvious.


    Du Feng''s strength and combat power was increasing rapidly.


    Or rather, it could be said that the potential and terrifying power of the heavenly body had been fully displayed at this moment.


    In just a few short days, Du Feng already had the intention to break through.


    From the third level of the Aurous Core Stage until now, they were on the verge of breaking through to the fourth level of the Aurous Core Stage. It could be said that as long as the potential of their physical bodies was unearthed, their progress would be extremely terrifying.


    At least, compared to Lin Tian''s cultivation, it was much simpler. Lin Tian''s cultivation progress only required one thing and that was spirit stones.


    Lin Tian''s cultivation only needed spirit stones. As long as he had enough spirit stone resources, Lin Tian could break through.


    But even so, he still needed to continuously train hard.


    However, Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng didn''t need to do so. All they needed to do was to unearth their potential and make a breakthrough.


    However, he was not envious. A breakthrough in cultivation was not a big deal. The most important thing was still to increase one''s combat ability.


    The increase in Lin Tian''s battle strength was extremely terrifying. Every time he broke through a level, his battle strength would be enough to crush an expert two or three levels higher than him.


    Right now Lin Tian was at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, but he could even fight against an expert at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage. He might even be invincible because other than the strength of his physical body, he had endless cards.


    Whether it was the spear art of the Dragon''s Tomb, or his identity as a spirit runemaster, or the whirlpool of his dantian, the ice silkworm, or even the Hornless Soul, these were all his trump cards.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian had so easily slaughtered a third or eighth stage Golden Core Stage demonic beast.


    However, Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er were all out of the question.


    Although Gu Yan''er possessed the Woeful Poison Body, she was still not a match for experts with her strength.


    This was also the problem with Fang Xing and Du Feng.


    Thinking of that, Lin Tian did not think anymore and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.


    He didn''t dare to relax either. There were only a few days left before the Freshman Competition ¡­


    During this period of time, the white light had also rushed over from the Azure Province Symbol Master Guild. This time, he had gathered all of the Spirit Stones, as well as Han Shan''s head.


    After handing these two items to Lin Tian, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly gave the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array to him.


    Calculating things like this, Lin Tian''s second level Spirit Convergence Array had actually been exchanged for three million high grade spirit stones.


    That''s right, three million spirit stones.


    Before, White Light had given Lin Tian a storage ring. That storage ring had a million spirit stones, and now, White Light had brought two other storage rings.


    Each storage ring had a million high-grade spirit stones.


    When Lin Tian saw so many high grade spirit stones, his eyes were a bit dazzled.


    However, he forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to take it for granted.


    White light became even more terrified, thinking that Lin Tian wasn''t satisfied with the price. So even though Lin Tian gave him the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, White light still felt that he owed Lin Tian a storage ring.


    Lin Tian slightly froze, thinking that it was Han Shan''s head. He immediately took it over and killed Han Shan. This was a condition that Lin Tian had added, because Han Shan was the person who had assassinated Lin Tian.


    After Lin Tian received the storage ring, he was slightly startled. He had already probed with his spiritual will just now. This was indeed Han Shan''s head, but there were actually some other things inside.


    It was actually some top grade spirit stones and some low grade spirit crystals.


    There were tens of thousands of top grade spirit stones, and there weren''t many spirit crystals, but there were at least a thousand of them.


    These two added together were also worth several hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. This was equivalent to an additional gift.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s puzzled expression, Bai Guang immediately explained: "Even though there are three million high grade spirit stones, compared to this Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, I still earned a lot. To me, these top grade spirit stones and spirit crystals aren''t of much use, so I might as well just give them to you. It''s just that, I don''t know if little brother still has a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array?"


    He remembered the last time he heard Lin Tian say that Lin Tian should have had some kind of Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array, but at that time, Bai Guang had only wanted that Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array so he didn''t ask too much.


    However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.


    If he had a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array, he would have to make preparations in advance for it.


    With a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, the white light would quickly reach the Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master.


    But after that?


    How could he break through after that?


    This naturally meant that he had to pay attention to this Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array.


    Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array. If Lin Tian had this array, Bai Guang was confident that he would be able to rely on this Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array to attack the Earth Symbol Master.


    Earth Symbol Master!


    What kind of concept was that? If one were to talk about middle or low tier third-grade Symbol Masters, they would only be at the basic level. Only then would a Soul Symbol Master be considered a genuine expert of the Symbol Dao.


    However, in the case of an Earth Symbol Master, he would be a genuine expert. In the entire Tian Luo, there were no more than a handful of such existences. Those were the genuine existences standing at the top of the pyramid and were the elites of the Tian Luo Symbol Dao.


    White Light was not young anymore. If nothing unexpected happened, a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master was the limit of his life. However, he was actually able to see the dawn of an Earth Symbol Master. How could this not make Bai Guang excited?


    So, he made up his mind that he would definitely ask Lin Tian about that Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array this time ¡­


    When Lin Tian heard Bai Guang talk about the third level Spirit Convergence Array, he remembered that he seemed to have mentioned it before.


    According to the Charm Magician''s memories, the Spirit Convergence Array was divided into seven levels.


    In other words, seven levels from one to seven was the lowest level of a first grade Spirit Convergence Array, while a seventh grade Spirit Convergence Array was the highest.


    Therefore, there was naturally a third level Spirit Convergence Array above the second level.


    It is said that the speed at which a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array condenses the world''s spirit energy is a hundred times faster than a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, and Level 4 is a hundred times faster than a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array.


    In this way, the amount of Spiritual Energy condensing within the Rank 7 Spirit Convergence Array would naturally increase. One could imagine how terrifying the speed at which the Spiritual Energy was condensing within the Rank 7 Spirit Convergence Array was.


    However, to be able to set up a Rank 7 Spirit Convergence Array, one had to have an extremely high level of cultivation in the area of talismans.


    Right now, this White Light was asking him about a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array. Lin Tian naturally knew what he was planning.


    Three million spirit stones was enough for him to cultivate to the Star River Realm. For the time being, he did not plan on using a third level Spirit Convergence Array to make an exchange.


    However, Lin Tian did not say death, he only said that for the time being he did not have any plans to trade, but he did not rule out the possibility of looking for a White Light Exchange in the future.


    Bai Guang felt a little regretful, but he didn''t say anything more. However, he felt that the storage ring he gave just now was the right one, and establishing a good relationship with it was his goal.


    Without the interference of the white light, Lin Tian once again entered the cultivation world, the cycle of battle ¡­ ¡­

 C272

    No one dared to disturb Lin Tian, Lin Tian, Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Mu Jin''er. They were all frantically cultivating, and had been living in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for a long time now.


    This is because the Freshmen Rites is about to begin...


    Finally, one day, a bell rang from the top floor of the Northern Courtyard''s mission pavilion.


    At the same time, the Northern Courtyard students, one after another, rushed out from their respective residences.


    After that, he madly rushed towards the Mission Pavilion.


    There was no other reason. Everyone knew that today was a big day for all the students.


    The Freshmen Rites was originally only related to the freshmen, but this time''s Freshmen Rites added another competition, and that competition was the Clear Sky Peak Challenge Competition.


    The Clear Sky Challenge Competition was held separately from the Freshman Competition, but it was held together this year.


    The reason was simple. All of the new students recruited this year were geniuses. There was no lack of top geniuses, such as those few heavenly bodies, and also the demon Lin Tian!


    Such a genius, it had been a few months since he entered the academy. The purpose of this Freshman Competition was to test their strength, and also to motivate them.


    At this moment, the Northern Courtyard''s bell rang loudly. Naturally, this meant that the Freshmen Competition was about to begin.


    All the students had come to the Missions Pavilion. Whether it was the new students, or the older ones, or even the few students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky from the inner courtyard, they had all come as well.


    Including Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, Li Qingshan, and An Kang, who had lost to Lin Tian in the past, all came ¡­


    At the same time, deep within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Lin Tian, Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng were all gathered together. At the same time, deep within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Lin Tian, Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng were gathered together.


    In these two months, Lin Tian did not have any radical thoughts. Even though he had a large number of spirit stones, Lin Tian did not continue to choose to break through. Instead, he began to consolidate his cultivation realm ¡­


    Of course, in this period of time, Lin Tian had even cultivated the Slaughtering God of the Sky Dragon Tomb''s Murdering Heart to the Mastery Stage.


    When he reached mastery, it meant that he could already unleash 80% or 90% of the power of this spear art when he used it.


    However, for Lin Tian, it was already enough to cultivate to this degree ¡­


    Other than that, because of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, Lin Tian also recultivated his own Symbol Dao cultivation.


    Because the Slaughtering God and the Murdering Heart originally needed Spiritual Energy, Lin Tian was able to consolidate his cultivation.


    However, he did not continue to break through. If he was a Soul Symbol Master, it would be so easy to break through. Then, there would be a lot of practitioners of the Symbol Dao.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian also trained in the Dragon Clan''s Secret Spirit Techniques. Thus, Lin Tian only consolidated his cultivation as a first rank spirit runemaster.


    But even so, to Lin Tian, Lin Tian was already very satisfied because if he continued cultivating like this, as long as he faced off against experts whose strength weren''t particularly high, he could completely deal with them.


    Under Lin Tian''s nearly devilish cultivation, the effect was very obvious. This was because Gu Yan''er was already an existence at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    At the start, Lin Tian, Fang Xing and Du Feng were a little shocked by Gu Yan''er''s speed of breakthrough, but in the end, all of them were completely numbed.


    To Gu Yan''er, cultivation bottlenecks and the like simply did not exist.


    To be simple and crude, to break through, to continuously break through ¡­


    Almost every half month, Gu Yan''er would break through to the next layer. Sometimes, if she worked even harder, she would be able to directly break through to the next layer.


    Therefore, Gu Yan''er, who originally had the lowest cultivation realm, now turned into the person with the highest cultivation level out of the three of them with a shake of her body.


    One must know that Gu Yan''er was only at the second level of the Aurous Core stage two months ago.


    In a short span of two months, Gu Yan''er had crossed six small realms.


    Such speed of breakthrough was indeed something that the three of them couldn''t hope to match up to.


    Fang Xing and Du Feng still didn''t know the reason behind this, but Lin Tian clearly understood that this was Gu Yan''er''s Woeful Poison Body. She had completely unleashed the power that she should have.


    According to what Horned Demon had said at the start, this kind of physique was not inferior to his True Dragon physique at all, and was not inferior to Yun Huang''s Ancestral Phoenix bloodline either.


    Towards those above, like Du Feng, Zhang Taixu, and even those like Wang Tian Fang, their cultivation bases were completely crushed in front of Gu Yan''er.


    They were considered one of the top geniuses in the world, but in front of Gu Yan''er, they were nothing ¡­


    However, after a period of crazy training, Du Feng''s strength had reached the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    Fang Xing was slightly stronger, having reached the sixth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    Lin Tian was very satisfied with the situation in front of him. The three of them were no exception.


    At this moment, they had also heard the gong sound. At the same time, a line of words appeared on each of their identity tokens.


    "Gather in front of the Missions Pavilion ¡­"


    "It''s finally the Freshman Competition ¡­" Lin Tian sighed with emotion.


    "A certain person has started to get excited already. Looks like that title really does live up to its name ¡­" Hearing Lin Tian''s laments, Gu Yan''er immediately smiled at Fang Xing and Du Feng.


    Needless to say more, Lin Tian knew who they were talking about ¡­ ¡­


    After being together for so many days, Lin Tian finally understood his title.


    Battle maniac ¡­


    When Lin Tian first heard this form of address, he didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. But after thinking carefully about his own performance, he felt that he truly deserved this form of address.


    Ever since he came to the Northern Courtyard, Lin Tian seemed to have been fighting.


    It was either a battle, or on the way to a battle ¡­


    Of course, after this period of devilish training, Lin Tian also received another name.


    ''Training Berserk Demon ¡­ ''


    This was something the three of them gave to Lin Tian, because once Lin Tian entered his cultivation state, he was almost masochistic and could spend several days and nights without rest ¡­


    Lin Tian coughed lightly and interrupted their thoughts of continuing to curse at Lin Tian. The four of them did not stay any longer and quickly returned to the Mission Pavilion ¡­


    At the same time, the situation of the East Branch, West Branch, and South Branch were similar to that of the North Branch. They began to rapidly gather students.


    When Lin Tian and the other three arrived in front of the Mission Pavilion, all of the Northern Courtyard''s students were already there.


    There were three groups in front of the Missions Pavilion.


    The first group was naturally the new students. This time, they were mainly on the stage, because the new students were the main characters.


    The other team consisted of the old students and they were the largest team. Lin Tian saw a few familiar faces among the old students, of course, including Shangguan Tu, the ''butcher'' who was defeated by Lin Tian, as well as the pervert and Ji Chunxue.


    The frontmost group only had a few dozen people.


    These dozen or so people were all students of the Northern Courtyard. Among them, Lin Tian''s defeated opponents, Nangong Fan and a few others, were also among them. Of course, there was also another familiar face among them.


    The white-clothed saint son, Ji Fangge!


    The Northern Courtyard''s representative, who had previously decided to fight with Lin Tian in the Green Cloud Challenge Competition in the third month, was ranked in the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and he was even ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.


    After seeing Lin Tian arrive, Nangong Fan and the others'' expressions became a little ugly. They had originally been defeated by Lin Tian.


    Not only that, they were defeated by Lin Tian while challenging Lin Tian. They were even able to completely recover from their injuries after resting in bed for several months.


    When Ji Fangge saw Lin Tian, he smiled and nodded his head. However, a trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes before he quickly recovered.


    This series of changes had naturally been seen by Lin Tian. Lin Tian also knew that Ji Fang Ge had been surprised by his own cultivation progress.


    It had to be known that three months ago, Lin Tian had just formed his aurous core and officially stepped into the aurous core realm. But now, in the short span of three months, Lin Tian''s cultivation had actually reached the fifth level of the aurous core ¡­


    It must be known that when Lin Tian had just stepped into the Aurous Core stage, when he faced the third or even the fourth level of the Aurous Core stage, Li Qingshan and the rest had defeated him almost as if he was squashing them.


    Now that he had reached the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, he had no idea how powerful he had become.


    However, that surprise only lasted for a moment. Who was Ji Fang Ge? He was the white-robed Saint Child, the hope for the Northern Courtyard''s future rise. He was the number one person in the Northern Courtyard.


    Even the entire Azure Province Academy had a place for Ji Fang Ge.


    Naturally, he was not worried about the threat posed to him by a kid who had just risen to fame.


    What''s more, it wasn''t like he, Lin Tian, had just increased his strength by a stage. In these three months, Ji Fangge had not been idle.


    Right now, Ji Fangge was already at the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage. However, he was about to step into the Star River Realm.


    With this kind of cultivation, he was not afraid of Lin Tian ¡­


    At this moment, the students of the Northern Courtyard were gathered. From the Mission Pavilion, Yang Qingtian and a group of instructors also walked out.


    "Students, calm down!" Zhang Feng was the first to speak. His words instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding people who were discussing among themselves. They then shut their mouths. At this moment, all the students had their eyes fixed on Zhang Feng.


    "I assume you all know the reason why I brought you all here." Zhang Feng revealed a faint smile as he asked the others.


    Everyone in the audience nodded. The Freshmen Rites was not a secret.


    "That''s right, it''s the Freshman Ceremony. However, there are some differences between the Freshmen Ceremony and the past ones. But, let the Headmaster explain them clearly ¡­" After saying this, Zhang Feng then moved to the side as everyone''s eyes were fixed on Yang Qingtian.

 C273

    Yang Qingtian looked at the crowd and then faintly smiled, "Alright, students. I believe you all know that the purpose of gathering here is naturally for that Freshman Rite Ceremony."


    "It''s just that, this Freshman Competition is very different from the past ¡­"


    Yang Qingtian glanced at the audience''s reactions. The crowd''s reactions were pretty normal.


    This was because the rules had to be changed during this year''s Freshmen Competition. They all knew of the fact that the Green Cloud Challenge Tournament and the Freshmen Ceremony had to be put together.


    As such, the crowd was not overly surprised.


    It was just that they did not know the specific rules.


    "It seems like you all know about it." Yang Qingtian slightly smiled and then said: "Since that''s the case, then I won''t waste any more words. I will directly tell you about the changes of this Freshman Rite..."


    Everyone immediately concentrated and listened attentively to Yang Qingtian''s words.


    "First of all, of course, I have to talk about the venue for this Freshman Competition. This time, the Freshman Competition will be held in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range ¡­" Once Yang Qingtian said this.


    The audience immediately went into an uproar.


    Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?


    In the past, when the Azure Province Academy would hold the Freshmen Competition, they would always hold it at the headquarters of the Azure Province. Furthermore, in every Freshman Competition, the headmasters or instructors of the other four academies of Tian Luo Kingdom would be invited to spectate.


    Sometimes, even the royal family would send people to watch the fight.


    Thus, the Azure Province''s headquarters was naturally the best location for the event.


    But this time, they had actually moved the location to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range ¡­


    It was actually the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Who didn''t know that the demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range were extremely ferocious? Moreover, the location was chosen in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, so the rules would have to change accordingly ¡­


    "Don''t worry so much, new student." Looking at the ugly expressions of the new students, Yang Qingtian comforted them: "You are all students from the Azure Province Academy, which means the future of the Azure Province Academy and Tian Luo. No matter what, we will not let you die ¡­ ¡­"


    "Oh, I see." The new students in the audience immediately let out a sigh of relief. This was good, otherwise, with their strength, if they really entered the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, it would be fine if they didn''t encounter any powerful demonic beasts.


    However, before they could celebrate for too long, the next sentence caused everyone to feel as if they had fallen into a cave of ice.


    "I might not lose my life, but it''s still possible for me to be seriously injured ¡­" Yang Qingtian added and felt that what he said was not right. He added another sentence: "Of course, this is the first time that the arena has changed, so no one knows what will happen next, so I can''t guarantee ¡­"


    "Err ¡­"


    The previously happy expression of the student darkened immediately.


    What Yang Qingtian just said was the same as not saying it. In the end, wasn''t it still very dangerous, and he might even lose his life in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range ¡­


    "Cough cough ¡­" Yang Qingtian lightly coughed and immediately focused everyone''s eyes onto him.


    "However, this is not too bad news. Compared to the next piece of news, I believe that all of you do not wish to hear this news ¡­" Yang Qingtian continued speaking.


    Seeing everyone''s face filled with anticipation, Yang Qingtian did not hesitate and directly said: "Compared to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range''s grand ceremony, what is more cruel is that this year''s Freshman Competition will be held in three rounds. Moreover, it will be three completely different rounds of competitions ¡­"


    "Three rounds?" At this point, no one was able to keep their composure, and even the seniors were filled with shock.


    Normally, the purpose of the Freshmen Rites was to test the strength of the new students. Of course, it was also to give them a chance to challenge the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky in order to motivate them to train harder.


    Thus, during the Freshmen Rites, it was very simple. It was to fight, to compete in strength, and to only have one round of battles.


    But now, there are actually three rounds, and each round is a different kind of competition. In other words, it is not just a battle, but an all-rounded test for these students. There is a high chance that there will be some extremely difficult tests ¡­


    When they thought of this, the faces of all the students turned completely black. Without a doubt, their enthusiasm had been dampened.


    "Of course, as you all know, the prizes for the Freshman Competition are extremely generous, and this time, it''s no exception, it''s even a hundred times better than the prizes from before. This time, after three rounds of competition, the number one new disciple will be selected, which is also the number one new disciple. Yang Qingtian''s words were like a bomb dropped in the crowd, causing a huge commotion.


    This time, not only the new students, but also the older students, including those who were already on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, all looked at Yang Qingtian with a face full of shock, their eyes full of disbelief ¡­


    The Tian Luo Mystic Realm was actually the Tian Luo Mystic Realm!


    Other people might not know about the secret realm of Tian Luo, but everyone in the five academies of Tian Luo Kingdom knew about it.


    The Tian Luo Mystic Realm was exactly the same as the training grounds of the Azure Province Academy; they were both small Heaven and Earth worlds.


    The so-called small universe was said to be a world formed by the supreme experts of the Sky Dragon Continent. On the Sky Dragon Continent, there were nine supreme realms: Qi Cultivation, Qi Sea, Jindan, Xinghe, Fate, Emperor, Saint, and God.


    Among these nine Extreme Realms, reaching the Emperor Realm meant that one could open up their own domain, while reaching the Saint Realm meant that one could comprehend the power of laws.


    Rules of the Saints.


    A saint was the law when it came to movements!


    The little universe was a world where saints used their own power of laws to create a unique domain.


    Previously, the training field of the Azure Province Academy was the domain of a saint. However, the destruction of that domain was very serious. Furthermore, the saint that formed that small universe was also a saint that had existed for a very long time.


    However, the Tian Luo secret realm was different!


    The Tian Luo secret plane was a complete secret plane formed after the death of a saint!


    This was not the most crucial point. The most crucial point was that the saint that formed the Tian Luo secret plane was a saint from a few thousand years ago.


    A saint with many treasures, as the name implied, was a saint with many treasures.


    From this, one could roughly guess just what sort of small universe this domain world formed by the Saint with many treasures was.


    This world seemed to be filled with powerful treasures.


    This was also the reason why the Tian Luo Mystic Realm was so well-known amongst all the students in the Five Great Academies.


    The Tian Luo secret realm had always been controlled by the Tian Luo royal family. Only the current king had the key to open the secret realm.


    Normally speaking, the Tian Luo secret realm would open once every three years.


    Since the opening of the Tian Luo secret realm this year, it had coincidentally been the third year. This year, it was naturally to open the Tian Luo secret realm.


    All of these students knew about it.


    Originally, all of this had nothing to do with the new students. Normally speaking, if one wanted to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, there was only one condition: enter the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Only the top ten rankers on the Proclamation of Azure Sky would have the chance to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    The purpose of opening the Tian Luo secret realm was to nurture these students. Because there were many treasures inside, there were many legends that some students obtained an extremely powerful treasure inside the Tian Luo secret realm, an example of a student suddenly becoming a top expert of the Tian Luo secret realm ¡­


    Of course, there were dangers within the Tian Luo secret plane, but compared to the temptation of the treasure, danger was nothing.


    But before this, it had only been a chance for him to enter the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Whether he could enter it was not certain.


    The Northern Courtyard only had one student on the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and that was Ji Fangge. However, even Ji Fangge might not be able to enter the Heaven''s Net Mystic Realm.


    But now, Yang Qingtian had actually said that as long as one obtains the number one student among the freshmen, he would be able to directly obtain the qualifications to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    This condition truly frightened everyone.


    All the new students had a fiery look in their eyes.


    Compared to the danger they had just faced, the qualification to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm had diluted the fear in their hearts.


    Lin Tian was also slightly dazed. He never would have thought that the first place of the Freshmen Tournament would actually give one the right to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    However, in this way, he would have to give it a try.


    To be honest, Lin Tian wasn''t worried at all about winning the first place.


    Almost all of the freshmen''s first place belonged to Lin Tian.


    Ever since Lin Tian entered the Northern Courtyard, he could do anything that other students could ¡­


    "Looks like all of you have been provoked by the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm." Yang Qingtian smiled and then said to everyone, "However, don''t be too happy yet. Even if you are the number one new student, entering the Tian Luo secret realm is a different matter. "Old student, don''t be discouraged. Old student will also have the chance to obtain the qualifications to enter the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm ¡­"


    "Hmm?" When these words were spoken, all the seniors raised their heads and looked towards Yang Qingtian. They originally thought that this was a matter between the new students and the inner courtyard students. Who would have thought that they would actually have a part in this ¡­


    "That''s right, everyone has a share!" Yang Qingtian replied once again, giving everyone a peace of mind.

 C274

    "This is also the main reason for the change in the rules this year." Yang Qingtian smiled at the crowd.


    "You all know that in the Rising Sun''s grand ceremony, the freshmen are the main characters, the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky are the green leaves, and you seniors are the spectators ¡­" Yang Qingtian continued speaking.


    What he was talking about was the rule of the Azure Province''s past great ceremony for new students.


    The Freshmen Rites of the past had always been a stage for all freshmen. During the Freshmen Rites, it was to check on the progress of the students'' training these days, as well as to select outstanding geniuses and focus on their training.


    After the Freshmen Rankings, there would be the Clear Sky Challenge Competition.


    This is a convention.


    After the Freshmen Rankings, all of the top hundred ranked disciples of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, which was also the students of the inner courtyard, would appear at the Rankings.


    Their role was to allow the freshmen to challenge them.


    Any freshman could use their own strength to pick students from the Proclamation of Azure Sky and challenge them.


    If he won, he could naturally replace the defeated student and officially become a student of the Proclamation of Azure Sky. However, if he lost, his ranking would only remain the same. However, it would have no effect on the new student.


    Therefore, the new students who had challenged the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky did not think too much about it. They did not care whether they had a chance or not, but they would still choose to challenge them.


    What if he won? After all, no one could say for sure.


    However, this year''s change in the rules had taken place here. After Yang Qingtian explained it to everyone for a long time, everyone finally understood why the change happened this year.


    It turned out that the changes to the rules this year were mainly concentrated on the future challenges.


    This was also the matter that Yang Qingtian had mentioned earlier regarding those older students.


    In fact, apart from the new students and the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, there were also many students who had entered the Azure Province Academy for many years, but had not yet entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    And this kind of student was actually the main force of the Azure Province Academy.


    For these students, the Azure Province Academy would also arrange for a Clear Sky Challenge Competition, in other words, for the older students to challenge the students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Compared to the new students, the Qing-Yun Challenge Competition was even more exciting.


    After all, the senior students'' overall strength was much stronger than the new students''. Naturally, he had an even greater advantage.


    And this was also the opportunity that Qin Wentian had mentioned earlier.


    This time, at the same time as the freshmen ceremony, the seniors would also spar with each other.


    The senior students of the north, south, east, and west academies had chosen the number one senior student. This number one senior student also had the right to enter the Tian Luo secret realm.


    After that, when the freshmen ceremony ended, the new and old students would participate together in the Clear Sky Challenge Competition.


    After understanding all the changes in Yang Qingtian, all the students once again began to discuss, especially those seniors.


    However, after everyone discussed for a moment, they finally understood the intentions of the Azure Province Institute.


    "It should be a competition between the Five Great Academies ¡­"


    A few older students discussed, and this discussion naturally reached Lin Tian''s ears.


    "So that''s how it is!" Lin Tian also immediately understood.


    Tian Luo, not only had the Azure Province Academy, there was also the Misty Academy, the Royal Academy, the Sword Inquisition, and the Tiger and Wolf Battalion.


    These five academies were the five great academies of Tian Luo.


    The purpose of the establishment of the Five Great Academies was to transport and nurture talent for Tian Luo.


    In Tian Luo''s thousand years of development, the students of the Five Great Academies had all played an extremely important role.


    After these students had grown up, they would either become great figures in the military, or they would remain in the Five Great Academies and become instructors, or even principals.


    Other than that, there were also the Tian Luo Guards who entered the Imperial City to defend the Imperial Family''s interests.


    Some of them had even been entrusted by the royal family with important tasks. Some of them had gone to war to open up their territories, while others had become ministers of the royal family to do secret missions. For example, to investigate the secret missions of the Blood Devil Sect.


    All in all, among the talents that the Five Great Academies sent over, no one had a nameless status.


    But the precursor is that they are real people.


    Amongst the Five Great Academies of Tian Luo, there was a Hidden Dragon Rank. Only those who entered the Hidden Dragon Rank could be called Tian Luo''s true genius.


    Before, no matter if it was the rank 6 Heaven''s Chosen student that Lin Tian was evaluated as when he entered the Azure Province Academy or the hundred disciples on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, although they were all geniuses, they were only geniuses of the Azure Province. Or to be more precise, they were the geniuses of the Azure Province Academy, not the geniuses of the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    If he wanted to become a genius of Tian Luo, and be recognized and acknowledged by Tian Luo, there was only one way, and that was to enter the Hidden Dragon Rank.


    However, it was extremely difficult to enter the Hidden Dragon Rank.


    Even the only genius in the Northern Courtyard who could compete with the geniuses of the Five Great Academies, the white-robed Sheng Ji, could only barely make it onto the secondary potential rankings of the Hidden Dragon Rank.


    Of course, this was only the ranking from two years ago.


    In the past two years, Ji Junge''s improvement should have long been on the official rankings.


    And now, the Northern Academy had gathered all these competitions together. Firstly, it was probably because the Tian Luo Mystic Realm was about to open, and secondly, it was also for the Five Great Academies'' competition.


    Thinking of this, the crowd immediately understood and did not say much.


    Yang Qingtian was responsible for explaining the rules. Next up was to bring them directly to the competition venue.


    This time, the Missions Pavilion''s instructor, Zhang Feng, was still bringing in new students. As for the other instructors, Qian Jue was bringing along the older students. The remaining students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky were personally led by Yang Qingtian.


    Now that the rules had been explained, the next step was for the students to go back and pack up, preparing to head to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range together.


    Lin Tian was still considered a new student, even though he was ranked seventy-seventh on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    After a short while of cleaning up, everyone followed Zhang Feng out of the North Courtyard.


    At the same time, the instructors from the East Branch, West Branch, and South Branch brought the students from their respective academies and one by one rushed to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    This time, the location of the Freshmen Competition chosen by the Azure Province Academy was located in an extremely famous place in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range ¡ª ¡ª the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    This was the famous land of death in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. It had all sorts of terrifying creatures and was filled with all sorts of dangerous places.


    The group of new students felt apprehensive. They weren''t worried about anything else but their own safety...

 C275

    Just as Lin Tian and the rest of the new students were about to leave for the Withering Bloom Swamp, the movements of the various states of Tian Luo also became more frequent.


    Tian Luo Kingdom, Imperial City, Tian Luo City.


    Gu Qing Yuan was still in Tian Luo City, and ever since the king had returned from Sky City that day, the two of them had not moved an inch away from each other.


    Of course, it was for no other reason, because the king had closed his doors once more after returning from that day.


    Gu Qing Yuan was here to protect the king and to guide the king.


    Gu Qingyuan had already reached the Death Profound Realm, while the king was only at the Profound Life stage.


    Above the Astral River Realm was the Life and Death Realm, also known as the Mysterious Life and Death Realm.


    The Mysterious Life and Death Stage was a huge threshold. Some people might not even be able to step into the Life and Death Realm for the rest of their lives after stepping into the ninth level of the Astral Realm.


    The result of being unable to step into the Life and Death Realm was that one could only wait for death to come. Although a martial artist''s life was longer than that of an ordinary person, it didn''t mean they could live forever.


    On the path of martial dao, one had to go against the flow. If one didn''t advance, then one had to retreat.


    However, as long as one was able to break through the threshold of the Milky Way Realm and reach the Life and Death Realm, a martial artist''s lifespan and strength would be greatly increased.


    The Mysterious Life and Death Stage was divided into the Mysterious Life and Death Stage and the Mysterious Death Stage. The Mysterious Life and Death Stage were the two source gates of a cultivator''s body, which were the source of life and the source of death.


    The Profound Life stage was to open the Gate of Life in the body of a cultivator, thereby stimulating the human body''s potential and reaching its limit.


    Once the Gate of Life was opened, the body of a martial cultivator would be filled with vitality. This way, one''s lifespan and potential would be greatly increased.


    The reason why this trial was difficult was because it was extremely difficult to open the Gate of Life. Opportunity, comprehension, talent, strength, and luck were all indispensable.


    The last time when the Tian Luo Kingdom King went into closed door cultivation was when he was approaching his end. The Emperor had been stuck in the Star River Realm for many years, but he still managed to obtain a sliver of good fortune in the end.


    If an Astral Reaching Realm expert was unable to open their Gate of Life, they would be stuck at the Astral Reaching Realm for the rest of their lives, unable to break through.


    Once the Gate of Life was opened, it could increase one''s lifespan, allowing them to continue breaking through and training.


    However, since the Profound Life stage only stimulates the limits of the human body, it is a measure that can''t be cured. Therefore, experts who have reached the Profound Life stage must break through to the Profound Life stage as soon as possible.


    As for the Death Profound Realm, as its name implied, it was putting him to death to open the door of death within his body.


    Once the Gate of Death was opened, a strong death aura would be emitted from the body of the martial artist that had reached this realm. Reaching this realm was extremely dangerous, so to advance from the Profound Life stage to the Profound Death stage was actually from one extreme, to another extreme. Some martial artists could not even balance the life and death aura in their bodies when they stepped into the Profound Life stage, and there would even be the consequences of the death aura suppressing their vitality.


    Therefore, assaulting the life and death arena was extremely dangerous, and even the king didn''t dare slight it.


    When one reached the Large Success Stage of the Death Profound Realm, the Life and Death Qi within one''s body would reach a balance. Only then would one be completely reborn.


    At this point, the lifespan and potential of a cultivator would be greatly increased. Only then would one be able to become an expert.


    This was also the reason why Qi Cultivating Stage, Qi Sea, Jindan Stage, and Xinghe Stage.


    Only when one reached the Life and Death Realm could one be considered to have mastered the art of music and master the art of martial arts. Only then would one be able to walk the path of martial arts.


    The Realm of Life and Death, fourth level of the Profound Life stage, fifth level of the Nascent Profound Realm, in total it was the ninth level of the Life and Death stage.


    The king had already reached the fourth level of the Profound Life stage and was about to break through to the first level of the Profound Life stage.


    Therefore, the reason why he came to find Gu Qingyuan was to let Gu Qingyuan act as a protector. After all, Gu Qingyuan had the experience that the death aura in Gu Qingyuan''s body was gradually being suppressed by Gu Qingyuan''s anger.


    Once the Life and Death Qi reached a balance, Gu Qingyuan could go a step further.


    Previously, Gu Qingyuan''s appearance had looked incomparably withered, as if he was about to run out of oil. But now, he was gradually showing signs of wanting to wait for spring to come.


    At this moment, after an unknown amount of time, the Tian Luo Kingdom''s King suddenly let out a light moan. This sound clearly suppressed the extreme pain within his body, allowing him to make such a sound.


    At the same time, the king''s face turned deathly red.


    His skin also quickly became dry. His originally black and green hair had also turned gray at this moment.


    All these changes had occurred in an instant and appeared extremely terrifying.


    "Congratulations, your Majesty. You are in danger, but you have finally reached the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm ¡­" Gu Qingyuan faintly smiled as he spoke.


    "What''s there to congratulate? Look at my appearance ¡­" Although the king had said this, a hint of a smile still appeared on his lips.


    After the king was overjoyed, he asked, "Qing Yuan, how long have I been in closed-door training this time?"


    "Nearly 3 months ¡­" Gu Qingyuan respectfully replied.


    "It''s already been three months." The king sighed, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked, "Then, doesn''t that mean that in the next few days, it should be the day when your Azure Province''s Freshmen Rites starts?"


    "Yes, the invitation letter was sent to the palace three days ago." Gu Qingyuan nodded indifferently.


    "The official start date is..." The king asked anxiously.


    "Don''t worry, king. Tomorrow." Gu Qingyuan replied with a smile.


    "That''s good. I said that I would have to personally watch that kid Lin Tian shine during the Freshman Rites, so I can''t miss it ¡­" The king smiled and asked, "What about the other academies?"


    "They will all come. Of course, they will still come to Tian Luo City to meet you first." Gu Qingyuan continued to reply.


    "That''s good too. When the time comes, we''ll head there together ¡­" The king nodded slightly.


    "If that''s the case, then judging from the time, they should also be here ¡­" Gu Qingyuan hadn''t even finished speaking when the servant''s voice came from outside.


    "King, the Southern Prince is here ¡­"


    "Let him in." The king said indifferently.


    "Royal brother!" Before the person had even arrived, his voice had already rang out. In the next moment, a man wearing the same golden dragon robe walked into the secret chamber.


    This person looked somewhat similar to the king. Obviously, this person was the younger brother of the king, Tian Luo''s only prince. Of course, he was also the principal of one of the Five Great Academies of Tian Luo, Luo Tiannan!


    "Huh?" When Luo Tiannan entered, he immediately noticed the king''s sudden change. The next moment, Luo Tiannan directly kneeled down and said: "Congratulations royal brother, you have successfully stepped into the dead Profound Realm. From then on, you will be rid of your destiny and embark on the road of martial arts ¡­"


    "Alright, get up. It''s just a fluke." The king shook his head.


    When Luo Tiannan saw that Gu Qing Yuan was also here, he nodded slightly before calling out, "Brother Gu Qing Yuan ¡­"


    Since there was no one else in the world, they naturally addressed each other in a more cordial manner. All of them knew that Gu Qingyuan was the king''s most trusted confidant, so naturally, Luo Tiannan was very polite.


    "Lord Jian Chi from the Sword Inquisition Academy, Lord Su from the Misty Academy, General Wang from the Tiger Wolf Camp ¡­"


    Outside, the attendant''s voice once again sounded.


    "They''re all here?" The king was a bit surprised, but then he said, "Let them in."


    "Subordinate wishes to greet the king, sword fanatic of Sword Academy." Not long later, three people once again walked into the secret chamber.


    At this moment, the one in the lead, a large man with a jade gourd hanging from his waist and a wine nose, bowed when he saw the king.


    At the same time, the other two people beside him, a beautiful lady in palace clothing and a muscular man whose upper body was bared, also knelt down and said, "Misty Academy''s Su Qiu Shui, the King of the Tigers and Wolves greets the King ¡­"


    "Both of you, get up. Is there a need to be so formal between us?" The king smiled and nodded.


    After the three of them stood up, they faced Gu Qingyuan, who was sitting beside the king, and lightly nodded their heads.


    These three people were none other than the leader of the five major academies: the Sword Inquisition, the Misty Academy, the headmaster of the Tiger Wolf Camp, and the drunk burly man. They were none other than the headmaster of the sword academy, the sword fanatic, the beautiful woman, and the headmaster of the academy, Su Qiu Shui. As for the muscular man, he was the general of the Tiger Wolf Camp.


    It was also at this moment that the principals of the five academies arrived.


    "Since we''re already here, there''s no need to waste any more words. This time, I''m sure that you''ve received the invitation letter. The reason why I let you all come is to let you see the surprise that the Azure Province Academy gives us this year." The king smiled.


    This time around, the Azure Province''s new student ceremony was held. Actually, the principal of their other academies wouldn''t have come. At most, they would have sent a vice principal.


    But this time, it was the king who forcefully requested for all the chairmen to come.


    Furthermore, this time, even the king would personally come forward to watch the Azure Province Institute''s Freshmen Rites ¡­

 C276

    Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Withering Spring Swamp.


    This was a huge region, situated at the edge of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Of course, this was also a deathly still area. The reason why this place was deathly still could be seen from the name of the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    The Withering Bloom Swamp was a huge swamp. Here, the towering trees were extremely lush, and the branches were luxuriant. However, underneath the trees was an incomparably corrupt aura.


    Furthermore, the trees in this place were not green in color. Instead, they were the same red as blood, giving off a horrifying appearance.


    At this moment, the students of the north, south, east, and west branches of the academy were also arriving.


    Not too far away from the Withering Bloom Swamp, there was a huge temporary residence. This was also where the students stayed.


    Not too far away from the encampment, on a high mountain peak, was a huge arena. At the same time, it could also be considered a spectator stage.


    The Freshmen Rites will officially begin tomorrow. Today, the students will be brought to take a look at the situation here, and the next thing to do is to wait for the arrival of the guests.


    Every year''s Freshman Competition was a grand occasion for the Azure Province Academy. For grand events like that, the other four big academies would send people over to watch and the imperial family would also send people over.


    Naturally, the headmaster of the Azure Province, Gu Qingyuan, would also come.


    "Hehe, I knew it. All of you came with ill intentions ¡­" When the king saw that there were a few students standing beside Jian Chi, Su Qiu Shui, and even Luo Tiannan and Wang Zhan, he smiled and said.


    The king clearly understood their intentions. This time, the king had forced all of the headmasters of the four academies to come together. Originally, the Azure Province Academy''s Freshmen Rites wasn''t enough for them to be invited, but since the king had spoken, they didn''t dare not come.


    However, when they arrived, the Headmasters of the four great academies did not hesitate to bring the disciples of their academies with them.


    In addition, these students were also the top geniuses of their four great academies.


    Their purpose in bringing these students naturally went without saying.


    Thinking of this, the king''s gaze flickered. He then turned to an attendant and said, "Go, find the First and Ninth Prince and have them follow me ¡­"


    That attendant quickly left and went to look for the First and Ninth Prince.


    Upon hearing the king''s arrangements, the other chairmen all exchanged a look. However, they were still a bit doubtful, as they didn''t know why the king would let the two princes go with him.


    They all knew that the king had locked down the second prince because of a boy called Lin Tian. And now, it seemed that if the second prince wanted to be released, it would be a distant date. The king seemed to have forgotten about this matter.


    Then right now, the only contenders for the Tian Luo Kingdom''s throne were the First Prince and the Ninth Prince.


    Could it be that the king wanted both the princes to go with him this time?


    But that was only their speculation. As for the king''s true thoughts, they could not see through them, but the ones who had their doubts were not only them. Even the two princes who were called could not see through their father''s true thoughts.


    Originally, it was only the Azure Province''s new student ceremony. Originally, sending any of their princes over felt that it was very normal, because such things happened before.


    But this time, the king personally came. He even called over the other four academies who had a competitive relationship with the Azure Province to spectate the battle. This made it hard for them to understand what was going on.


    What exactly attracted the royal father to the Azure Province, or perhaps the royal father went there to spectate the battle, could he have some sort of motive?


    However, they did not think too much about it. However, this time around, they felt that this matter was not that simple. Thus, the two princes had secretly thought about it.


    If this matter really had something to do with the storage, then it would be wise to ponder over the king''s thoughts.


    The news that the king and the other four great academies'' principals would all come to watch the battle also immediately spread to the ears of every student of the Azure Province Academy.


    This made everyone even more excited, but at the same time, there were also some doubts. This was because once one performed outstandingly in the Freshmen Rites, it was very likely that they would be directly favored by the king.


    What they were puzzled about was that even though the king himself had personally come, they didn''t know why. For minor characters like them, it was unlikely for the king to personally pay them the attention to spectate the battle ¡­


    However, they didn''t think too much about it. After all, dealing with the following matches was the most important.


    The king and the other chairmen of the four great academies had personally arrived the next day and were seated in the spectator stands. Tian Luo and the other two princes who had raised their voices were also present.


    As the host, Gu Qingyuan naturally accompanied her.


    As for the head, it was led by the heads of the four big branch academies of the Azure Province.


    The dean of the East Branch, Zhou Tianzheng, was the first to preside over the first round.


    After Gu Qingyuan indifferently started, Zhou Tian Xing directly stood in front of all the students.


    "New students of the Azure Province!" After clearing his throat, Zhou Tian Xing spoke to everyone.


    "This year''s Freshmen Rites will be held in three rounds. The first round will be held." Zhou Tian Xing gave a simple sentence, outlining the competition rules of this year''s Freshmen Competition. He then said, "The first round will naturally be a competition to compare the potential of each and every student."


    "Besides the efforts of the Pre-Sky Realm, the Upper Sky potential of any warrior is also extremely important. Therefore, judging the potential of a student is extremely important for the future cultivation and nurturing of the student."


    "Therefore, the first round will be a contest of potential." Zhou Tian Xing''s gaze swept across the crowd before slowly opening his mouth and said: "This first round of the competition is rather simple."


    "Do you see the dense forest behind me?" Zhou Tian Xing asked.


    "I saw it!" All the students answered in unison.


    "Yes, the first round of competition is very simple. In the Withering Bloom Swamp, there is an exclusive region, and this exclusive region is the area that the Headmasters of the other three academies and I have jointly set up our power restrictions. In there, your strength, combat strength, and even your reactions will all become extremely weak, completely not at your current level ¡­"


    "In there, you will still have to endure the suppression from the power restrictions at all times, but there will still be some demon beasts. Of course, the strength of those demon beasts will not be restrained, and the strength of these demon beasts are generally above the first rank of the third step. There are high and low levels, the highest being the third step eighth level, which is equivalent to the strength of a martial artist at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage ¡­"


    Among these new students, not a single one of them was actually at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage. No, there was only one Gu Yan''er, but it was useless like this, because in there, their own strength will be limited. Even if they had the strength of the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage, they would still not be able to defeat a third stage eighth stage demonic beast ¡­

 C277

    As for what it is, even I do not know. Therefore, I will first wish you all good luck in advance, and the rule is also very simple. As long as you are able to stay inside for a long time, it means that the potential of this student will be higher. When I say this, can you understand it? "


    "Understood." All the students answered in unison.


    "Alright, go." After which, he said to the crowd, "Of course, this is only the first round. It depends on your potential and not on your lives. If you encounter a moment of life or death, remember to use your identity tokens. That is the only method for you to survive ¡­"


    Zhou Tian Xing emphasized.


    Everyone nodded their heads and headed towards the area that Zhou Tian Xing had mentioned earlier.


    However, at this moment, everyone''s faces were ugly. Originally, when the Freshmen Competition was held in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, everyone had already felt some fear. Moreover, Zhou Tian Xing had said earlier that there were countless other terrifying things within.


    A terrifying object that even Zhou Tian Xing didn''t know of would definitely not be simple.


    Thinking of this, the fear in many of the students grew.


    However, when they thought about the identity token that could save their lives at a critical moment, they felt slightly more at ease.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. Although the Withering Bloom Swamp was scary, it was still far from being able to scare him.


    Lin Tian''s gaze swept over Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng, who were beside him. He gave a slight nod and the three of them immediately understood what he meant. They then moved closer towards Lin Tian.


    If there really were powerful restrictions placed inside, it would be safer for them to band together ¡­


    "It''s actually dead miasma!" The moment all the students entered the designated area, everyone felt waves of dizziness attack them. Immediately, someone cried out.


    They did not expect that there would be death energy in this area. At this moment, the death energy was like a layer of mist that filled every corner of the area ¡­


    At this moment, those miasma and death auras that were filled with poison, when they felt the arrival of these students, quickly rushed over to all the other students ¡­


    "Does this miasma have a consciousness?" When Lin Tian saw this situation, he was shocked and felt that it was a bit inconceivable.


    This was because after they had arrived, the originally thin smoke actually quickly gathered together and rushed towards them. If there was no one controlling it, it would mean that the miasma was conscious.


    "This is the miasma. When the aura of death encounters the natural reaction of humans ¡­" At this moment, Gu Yan''er suddenly opened her mouth.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he suddenly slapped his forehead. It seemed that he was also a bit confused.


    There was a Woeful Poison Body standing in front of him, but he was still thinking about how to dispel the miasma ¡­


    If he handed this matter to Gu Yan''er, wouldn''t all the problems be solved?


    Lin Tian''s lips curled into a smile.


    Gu Yan''er did not say anything unnecessary. Her finger gently moved and in the next instant, the poison barrier instantly rushed over to Gu Yan''er.


    When the venomous barrier arrived in front of Gu Yan''er, it actually directly followed Gu Yan''er''s body and entered her body before being devoured by her.


    Following Gu Yan''er''s absorption, the poison barrier around Lin Tian and the other three quickly became thinner and before long, it completely disappeared.


    The surrounding air immediately became clean, and the dizziness and suffocating feeling in Lin Tian and the others'' heads disappeared. The few of them did not hesitate and began to slowly move forward.


    He didn''t know how big this area was, to be able to have such an aura of death upon entering. He didn''t know what else was in this area, but he needed to find a relatively safe place in this area.


    While they were moving, Lin Tian and the others also felt the terror of that restriction.


    Right now, Lin Tian''s body''s strength had actually been suppressed to around the first level of the Aurous Core stage by this kind of restriction.


    Originally, Lin Tian''s strength was only at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage. This kind of suppression actually suppressed Lin Tian at the fourth level. It was really a bit too terrifying.


    The effect of the suppression on Gu Yan''er was also very obvious.


    Gu Yan''er was just manipulating her own strength to absorb the miasma and death aura. But even so, her face was still pale and she was clearly exhausted.


    The deeper they went in, the more they felt the terror of this area.


    The four of them didn''t dare to be negligent and were on full alert in case something unexpected happened.


    The power restrictions caused his strength to weaken, causing Lin Tian to not be used to it, as if he had felt the changes in Lin Tian''s body. The whirlpool in his dantian was currently madly circulating, speeding up the flow of the blood in his body, wanting to fight against the restrictions.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh.


    Just at this moment, a strange sound of wind breaking suddenly came from nearby. Lin Tian then shouted to the three people around him: "Pay attention, there''s something here!"


    Fang Xing and the other two immediately went on full alert as they looked around vigilantly.


    Ah!" Just at that moment, a green vine suddenly extended out from a certain area and suddenly wrapped around a person not far from Lin Tian and the others. In an instant, that person was lifted up to the top.


    That scream came from that person.


    "What is it ¡­" Lin Tian immediately felt his scalp go numb. He had just gotten here, something was going to happen?


    That vine wrapped around that person and instantly lifted him into the air. The others did not even have time to react before that person had already been blown several tens of feet into the air.


    It was an extremely large tree that was dozens of meters tall. On the tree, there was a large green hole. The vine''s purpose was to drag that person into the hole.


    "Bam!" Just as everyone was feeling cold, a deafening sound suddenly reverberated through the air.


    The vine that had originally been wrapped around that man''s body was instantly shattered. The man had also landed on the ground in a completely unharmed manner.


    Everyone turned their heads to look and it was shockingly Lin Tian who had made his move. It turned out that in that critical moment, it was Lin Tian who had broken the green vine and saved that person.


    "Thank you very much, sir." That person was still in a panicked state, but he also quickly prostrated on the ground. He naturally knew that if it wasn''t for Lin Tian helping him just now, he would have already died.


    "It''s alright, we are all new students, it''s only right that we take care of each other." Lin Tian waved his hand and said with a calm tone.


    But the moment he made a move just now, Lin Tian Deng immediately felt an innumerable amount of pressure surging towards him from the surroundings. This kind of power also made him feel somewhat uncomfortable ¡­


    "Is this the power of the restrictive spell?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but think.

 C278

    At this moment, the might of the strength restrictions had already completely revealed themselves.


    Lin Tian had only brandished one palm just now and it was already tightly suppressed by the power of the power restriction. He felt his blood churning and after a while, under the continuous circulation of the whirlpool of Dantian, his blood calming down.


    However, the suffocating feeling in her chest didn''t go away for a long time.


    It was at this moment that the incomparably large tree above their heads started to react. It directly broke into half and fell down, crushing a large area of trees behind it.


    Many students looked at the broken half of the tree for a moment. Only then did they realize that black blood had flowed out from the spot where the tree had broken apart. However, that blood had instantly been absorbed by the marsh ground beneath their feet.


    However, the strangest part was that when the black blood flowed into the ground, it actually seemed to have been absorbed by the ground, leaving not a single trace behind.


    "That''s strange. Can trees bleed too?" Some of the students could not help but ask.


    "I don''t know. It''s just that, why would these trees, these trees still move ¡­" A student suddenly exclaimed.


    At this time, all the students, including Lin Tian and the other two, looked over.


    Only then did I realize that the big green hole on the broken tree isn''t a big hole, but ¡­ It was a mouth.


    That big tree still had a mouth!


    What was even more strange was that the broken big tree did not seem to be dead. It was still struggling on the ground, but along with the continuous loss of blood, the big tree also stopped struggling.


    Even so, the tree seemed to be constantly twisting as if it was struggling with something.


    When everyone saw this strange scene, they were stunned. They stared blankly at the broken half of the tree trunk.


    "Roar!"


    "Be careful!"


    Accompanied by two different shouts, it was unknown when, on the ground that was filled with rotten branches and rotten leaves, at the spot where everyone was standing, a big mouth suddenly opened.


    Soon after, it was a tongue several feet long that was going to directly suck everyone into its own mouth along with the broken branches of the big tree.


    It was a huge python.


    That vicious mouth, the large hole that everyone had just seen, was the mouth of that giant python.


    Lin Tian''s group of four was the closest. Currently, they didn''t have enough time to react because they felt their bodies were tightly locked by the tongue of the huge snake. After that, the huge snake wrapped around the four of them and was about to send them into its mouth.


    The huge python''s body twisted and turned, instantly sending everything around it flying. Trees flew everywhere, and dust flew everywhere. The other students were overwhelmed with shock as they all retreated to avoid being injured by the python.


    Lin Tian and the other three people in the large snake''s mouth also saw the black saliva flowing out of the large snake''s mouth. Lin Tian and the others in the large snake''s mouth also saw the black saliva flowing out of the large snake''s mouth.


    It was obvious that the giant snake''s saliva contained a lethal poison.


    "It''s a Black Water Serpent!" Du Feng was the first to react.


    He originally wanted to understand more about demon beasts, but with his current knowledge of demon beasts, he could be said to be well versed in them. Therefore, he immediately called out the name of this black python; this was a third-ranked fifth-grade demon beast, Black Water Serpent!


    Du Feng looked at the giant snake and was slightly worried in his heart, "Everyone, don''t get stained by this animal''s saliva. For it, this is its greatest killing move, even though we are bound by its tongue, as long as we don''t get contaminated by its saliva, nothing will happen to us ¡­"


    Lin Tian nodded his head and said: "No worries, this animal''s grade is only the third stage fifth rank. Let''s take care of this beast together ¡­."


    If it was before, Lin Tian could have killed it in the blink of an eye, but right now, his power was being fiercely suppressed. So, facing such a fierce demon beast, especially with his hands and feet bound, he still had to rely on everyone''s power.


    "Hmph." Fang Xing''s brows furrowed, and with a cold snort, his psychic power exploded outwards, turning into countless sharp thorns that charged towards the huge snake.


    Strands of sharp thorns pierced through the snake''s body. Despite being attacked by Fang Xing''s attacks, the snake became increasingly manic. Its huge body twisted and turned back and forth, but its tongue continued to wrap around everyone without loosening its grip.


    Du Feng was also struggling to make a move, but both his arms were bound and he could not bring himself to do anything.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were cold. In the next moment, he also fiercely gathered extremely terrifying Mental Energy within the Divine Manor. In the next moment, boundless Mental Energy instantly condensed into the God-Slaying Shuttle before completely releasing it.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, Lin Tian''s Divine Punisher Shuttle had already completely landed on the Black Water Serpent.


    "Roar! Roar! Roar!" The huge snake immediately let out a series of berserk howls.


    The strength restriction only suppressed their strength. It did not have any effect on Lin Tian''s Spirit power. As such, the power of the God Slaying Shuttle could be used to 100% of its power.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er''s body was also repeatedly emitting poison gas, corroding the giant python''s tongue.


    In the next moment, the giant python''s tongue suddenly loosened. Without the tongue binding them, Lin Tian and the others immediately obtained their freedom.


    In that instant, Lin Tian threw out a spear attack. The body of the huge snake also fell to the ground in response. The rest of them leaped out to avoid touching the Black Water Serpent''s saliva.


    The next moment, he heard a "bang" sound.


    Lin Tian shot out another shot and forcibly blew up the giant snake''s head.


    That Black Water Serpent immediately fell to the ground with a wail, its head turning into a pool of blood.


    The surrounding people looked at the four''s methods in shock. It was somewhat unbelievable, but most of them were filled with respect and fear ¡­


    Lin Tian did not think much about it and directly left with the four of them.


    Of course, after such an incident, everyone became even more vigilant. It was indeed true that dangers were hidden everywhere in the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    Lin Tian was also closely following Fang Xing''s group of three.


    The poisonous barrier aura swiftly scattered wherever Gu Yan Er went. The four of them had also gradually entered the deep regions of this area.


    At the same time, in an area that they couldn''t see underground, countless vines began to rapidly grow underground like long snakes. Not long after, some vines had already drilled out from the ground.


    However, none of the students noticed this.


    Even Lin Tian did not notice.


    Those vines seemed to have a mind of their own, because when the students began to notice, the vines that were growing at a rapid pace had already stopped growing. From the looks of it, it looked no different than before.


    However, once the students paid no attention to the vines, the vines would start to grow rapidly.


    Before long, the whole lush forest was filled with vines.


    At the same time, roars from Demonic Beasts would occasionally be emitted from the dense forest.


    Of course, there were also the sounds of fighting and the screams of the students from time to time.


    Fortunately, Lin Tian''s small team did not experience this sort of thing.


    Du Feng''s Heavenly Energy Body had now completely displayed the effects that he should have. His Heavenly Energy Body was able to sense the existence of Demonic Beasts and his strength was much more accurate than when Lin Tian used his Mental Energy to check the area. Therefore, while travelling, they did not suffer any intrusion from other Demonic Beasts.


    Of course, as he continued on his journey, Lin Tian finally felt something wrong ¡­

 C279

    Currently, Lin Tian was clearly able to hear a wave of rustling sounds.


    This rustling sound sounded extremely strange and did not sound like the sound of wind. This was because there were almost no traces of wind in the entire forest.


    Moreover, this sound seemed to have come from underground.


    "There''s something underground!" Lin Tian finally reacted. He thought it was some demon beasts that could crawl into the ground. Without the slightest hesitation, he pierced out with the Dragon Scale Spear, directly piercing towards the ground where he stood.


    In that instant, a weak groan sounded out. In the next moment, the entire ground was dyed red. Streams of blood like liquid started to emerge from the ground.


    "There really is something!" Lin Tian''s face was gloomy and cold. In the dense forest, there was killing intent everywhere. If it wasn''t for his five senses being able to feel the movements underground, he really might have been tricked.


    Even so, he could not determine what was beneath the ground.


    As a result, Lin Tian once again made his move. He threw out a palm attack.


    The monstrous power directly created a huge crater in the ground. He wanted to see exactly what kind of thing was underground.


    In the next moment, the earth flew into the air and the object beneath the ground revealed its true appearance.


    "It''s actually a vine!" Du Feng and Fang Xing both cried out in disbelief. They hadn''t expected that the thing hidden underground would actually be a vine ¡­


    But these vines were clearly different. At this time, what was under Lin Tian and the others'' feet were densely packed, complicated, twisting, and extremely terrifying vines.


    But at this moment, those vines had been cut in half by Lin Tian''s spear.


    At this moment, the vines are unceasingly leaking out juices akin to fresh blood ¡­


    What is this?


    The four of them looked at the vines in shock.


    However, just at this moment, a change suddenly occurred. Those vines actually began to grow back quickly. Even those vines that had been cut down by Lin Tian were rapidly regenerating and growing back together.


    "This is bad!" Lin Tian at once felt an extremely terrifying feeling of palpitation in his heart.


    That feeling was one of killing intent!


    Lin Tian immediately regained his senses, without any hesitation, he once again shot out his spear.


    "An afterimage!"


    Lin Tian roared. On the surface of the Dragon Scale Spear, he immediately waved it, creating a series of afterimages as he quickly rushed towards the rapidly growing vines.


    This was the second move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb. Lin Tian had already cultivated it to the Perfection Stage. In almost an instant, he could wave out over a hundred spear shadows.


    Over a hundred spear shadows rapidly struck out. In the blink of an eye, they had completely cut off the vines that were circling and moving beneath the ground.


    After the vine was chopped in half, an ear-piercing wail that sounded like a baby''s cry immediately rang out. It sounded extremely terrifying.


    After which, waves of bright-red liquid that looked like blood once again surged out from where the vines were broken ¡­


    The three of them shuddered at the sight of it.


    No one knew what these vines were.


    However, after Lin Tian had cut off all the vines, the rustling sounds from the surroundings suddenly became louder.


    It sounded like something was rapidly closing in on them.


    When they turned around, they were shocked to discover that the surrounding trees had all grown vines like this.


    "How could this be?" Gu Yan''er cried out in shock.


    At the same time, the other students also noticed the vines that were madly growing around them.


    At this moment, the vines were frantically growing. Not long later, they formed an incomparably terrifying net of vines and all of them charged towards the students.


    Ah!" Suddenly, the scream of a student came from the depths of the forest.


    That scream caused all the students to shudder.


    Not long after, a student was tied up by vines, but this time, the student was not so lucky. With the help of Lin Tian''s hand, the vine instantly devoured the student''s flesh and blood.


    Not long later, the student turned into a pile of bones and fell from the vine with a "hualala" sound ¡­


    Upon seeing this scene, all the students trembled in fear.


    What the hell was that?


    However, before they could think too much about it, the other vines had already madly rushed towards the surrounding students.


    Immediately, the screams of the students rose and fell in succession. It was a complete mess. The entire area had turned chaotic all of a sudden.


    The four people of Lin Tian''s group also heard the screams of the students.


    They knew that these vines were no ordinary objects, but unfortunately, they had no way to rescue them.


    This was because at this moment, they were facing a situation similar to the other students.


    The vines spiraling from the trees rapidly formed a huge net that covered the sky as they charged towards everyone.


    And at this moment, an even stranger thing happened once again.


    The vines that were chopped apart by Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear just a moment ago had now started to regrow from where they broke.


    Those vines also quickly rushed towards Lin Tian''s group of four.


    At this moment, there were vines in front of them and vines behind them. Lin Tian and the others had entered a certain death situation. Surrounded by the vines, their killing intent and terrifying killing intent also instantly attacked.


    Facing the countless vines swarming at them, the four of them felt a little powerless for the first time.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian''s spear attack just now also proved another thing. It seemed like this vine could not be killed.


    Even if they were chopped in half, they would quickly regrow from where their tendrils had broken.


    At the same time, a huge net formed by countless vines swept towards the students. Wherever it went, the students would be taken care of. After their flesh and blood were absorbed, they formed piles of bones and fell to the ground.


    At this time, it was also the first time that Lin Tian felt a bit powerless. He was not afraid of encountering strong demon beasts, because he had the confidence to kill them, even if he had to pay a huge price, there was at least hope. But now, facing these vines, Lin Tian felt that these vines were almost impossible to kill.


    But they could not sit here and wait for death.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian directly said to the three of them.


    With that, he no longer cared about the restriction on his strength. Even if he was to be hit by a backlash from that restriction later on, it was still better than dying here.


    He suddenly brandished his dragon scale spear. The technique of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb was continuously unleashed. The long spear contained an incomparably majestic amount of Yuan Power. It instantly smashed through all the vines that were charging towards him.


    Fang Xing made his move as well, and his mental powers congealed into sharp thorns that smashed into the vines.


    That''s right, the method that Fang Xing had used was the Immortal Soul Sting that Lin Tian had passed to him.


    The might of this Yuan Spirit Thorn naturally could not be underestimated.


    One by one, the vines were pierced and splattered everywhere.


    Du Feng also started to take action and cut off the vines.


    Gu Yan Er once again emitted the poison aura within her body. In an instant, the poison aura swiftly rushed towards the vines.


    The four of them used all their abilities, but it was still Gu Yan''er who was the most effective.


    The poison aura that emanated from her body was undoubtedly the greatest nemesis of these vines. The poison aura rapidly devoured the vines one by one.


    After the vines came into contact with the poisonous gas, they began to rot and collapse rapidly. Soon, they became streams of viscous pus that fell to the ground.


    Therefore, it seemed that these vines were not without nemesis. At the very least, Gu Yan''er''s poison mist could destroy them.


    As for Lin Tian, Fang Xing, and Du Feng''s methods, they had all failed. Even after cutting off the vines, they were still able to grow. However, once tainted with the poison, they could still be completely destroyed.


    As a result, the vines seemed to have become sentient. When they met Gu Yan''er, they all quickly retreated. It was obvious that they were afraid of the poison aura in her body. Instead, they used all their strength to charge towards Lin Tian, Fang Xing, and Du Feng.


    As a result, Lin Tian also became aware of this situation. Without thinking much about it, he directly went to Gu Yan''er''s side. Both Fang Xing and Du Feng also did the same thing.


    Their attacks weren''t very useful, so rather than trying to cut off the vines and waste their strength, it was better to hide beside Gu Yan''er and think of a way to deal with it.


    Gu Yan''er''s body released a majestic poisonous gas that enveloped the three of them.


    With the protection of Gu Yan''er''s poison gas, Lin Tian and the other two let out a sigh of relief. However, seeing Gu Yan''er''s ugly expression, Lin Tian naturally knew that this was the power of the power of the restriction.


    But there was no other way.


    Now, he could only rely on Gu Yan''er. Lin Tian did not know how to deal with these vines that could kill and devour flesh and blood ¡­

 C280

    When these vines rushed in front of Gu Yan''er, they would be corroded by the poison aura emitted by her body, turning into a foul smelling pus.


    As a result, after the vines tried, no one dared to continue attacking Gu Yan''er.


    The vines quickly withdrew before stopping in front of Gu Yan Er and the other three. Although they did not dare to continue attacking, they were completely capable of surrounding them.


    But at this moment, the Horned Demon in Lin TianAo''s Heavenly God Palace suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Brat, you have to be careful, these vines are extraordinary, this little girl won''t be able to hold on for long, you should quickly find an opportunity to escape, for the sake of some competition, throwing your life here, it''s not worth it ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Hearing Horned Demon''s voice, Lin Tian was slightly stunned, then he asked: "Do you know what these damn things are?"


    "Of course!" Horned Demon nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "These vines are called the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Vine, and they were once an extremely dangerous existence in the ancient era. Horned Demon nodded his head and said in a deep voice," These vines are called the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Vine, and they are an extremely dangerous existence from the ancient era.


    There was a trace of doubt in Horned Demon''s voice, but soon after, he continued, "Since such a demonic vine appeared in this place, this place must have been an ancient cemetery back then."


    After Hornless said this, Lin Tian was stunned, and then asked: "Ancient tomb? This Blood-Thirsty Demonic Vine is actually an ancient existence? "


    "That''s right!" In the ancient times, there were tens of thousands of countries and countless tribes, and in these kingdoms and tribes, there will always be terrifying wars. In every battle, there will always be countless deaths and injuries, and it is also because of this that the location of every war is filled with corpses. Of course, these corpses are also unrestrained, piling up like mountains.


    "However, it was also because of the existence of these cemetery that countless terrifying creatures were born. These things were all extremely dangerous creatures from the ancient times, and this Blood-Thirsty Demonic Vine was one of them, it was originally just an ordinary vine, later, these vines devoured the flesh and blood of those human corpses, absorbed the essence of the human body, and later evolved into a terrifying creature."


    "Before this, humans did not discover it, but when they did, it was already too late. The reproducing power of the Blood Devouring Demon Hair was extremely tyrannical, and after the ancient cemetery was formed, it would rapidly grow and reproduce. At the most frightening moment, these Devil Vines would cover almost every corner of the Sky Dragon Continent."


    "Of course, correspondingly, it was a disaster for humanity. At the beginning, no one noticed the existence of such vines, but later on, the existence of these vines threatened the life and death of humans, causing countless powerful experts to feel terrified ¡­"


    Horned Demon slowly revealed the secrets of an ancient era.


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with incredulity. It was just as Horned Demons said. This kind of terrifying Demonic Vine, if it really grew all over every corner of the Sky Dragon Continent, would truly be somewhat terrifying.


    He had also seen that unless it was a special method, these vines would not be able to kill him.


    Furthermore, with such a powerful reproduction ability, sooner or later, it will become the nightmare of all humans ¡­


    "Yes, in ancient times, this thing was considered the most vicious and was reputed to be the number one vicious beast." Yes, in ancient times, this thing was the most vicious and was reputed to be the most vicious and was reputed to be the most vicious.


    When they became aware of this threat, almost all the almighty experts and powerful people were sent out to kill and destroy these Demonic Vines. Later on, with the efforts of several generations of strong people, the overflowing of these Demonic Vines was finally suppressed.


    Hornless continued.


    "But, why would there be such a demonic vine here?" Lin Tian asked in confusion.


    "Then I don''t know. This is the first time I have seen such a legendary fierce object ¡­ However, if this is a cemetery before, it is not strange that a Demonic Vine would appear ¡­"


    One must know that the Demonic Vines here are actually not that terrifying. As you have seen, Gu Yan''er''s poison gas can kill them. Presumably, this Demonic Vine''s strength is not that strong. I guess that it must have been asleep for a long time.


    Hornless continued to explain.


    "How can I get rid of it?" Since he knew the origins of these Demonic Vines, he would naturally kill these Demonic Vines next ¡­ ¡­


    "Get rid of it, kid. I''ve told you the origins of these vines and you''re not afraid at all. Are you still delusional enough to think of getting rid of them?" Horned Demon looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    "This Demonic Vine is so terrifying, and I believe that the entire forest is filled with this kind of Demonic Vine. If I want to leave now, I''m afraid it''s impossible ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently shook his head, then opened his mouth to say his thoughts.


    Gu Yan''er''s strength was greatly restricted by the restriction of strength and was unable to display her full strength. It was just as Horned Demon said just now, Gu Yan''er wouldn''t be able to last much longer ¡­


    So, if they wanted to leave, there was only one way. That was to use the identity plate.


    However, this was not the result that Lin Tian wanted. If he used his identity plate, it basically meant that he would be eliminated. Thus, unless it was a life and death situation, Lin Tian would definitely not use his identity plate.


    After hearing from Horned Demon just now about the Devil Vines'' origins, although Lin Tian was shocked, what made him more interested was the almighty who killed the Devil Vines that Horned Demon had just mentioned.


    How did they do it?


    However, since they were able to do it, it meant that these vines were not invincible ¡­


    So, Lin Tian still wanted to hear Horned Demon talk about how to get rid of the Demonic Vines.


    "There''s only one way to get rid of this vine, and that is to kill its mother ¡­" Horned Demon guessed Lin Tian''s thoughts and said directly to Lin Tian without wasting any words.


    "Mother root?" Lin Tian was slightly startled as he asked in astonishment.


    "That''s right, it''s the mother root. If you want to kill a demon vine like this, the only way is to kill its mother root. Once you get rid of the mother root, those demon vines will immediately die ¡­"

 C281

    Horned Demon continued to explain, "All of the magic vines you see now are grown from the mother root. The mother root is the source of power for these magic vines, and the reason why these magic vines can''t be killed is because of the mother root. With the mother root, these magic vines can be cut down and the mother root can provide them with endless power to continue growing.


    "There was only one way to kill such a monster." Horned Demon sighed and continued.


    "Then where is its mother?" Lin Tian did not waste any time and continued to ask.


    "Generally speaking, the mother root of such a monster only exists in one place. It is underground!"


    "Underground?" Lin Tian was even more puzzled.


    "That''s right, these vines are actually all grown from underground. The mother root lives in the earth, and after these vines kill humans, they pass on the essence of human flesh and blood to the mother root. In this way, the cycle will continue ¡­"


    "Understood." Lin Tian did not waste any more words and also did not ask any more questions.


    Instead, he turned around and whispered these words to the crowd.


    After hearing Lin Tian''s thoughts, Fang Xing and the other two all looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    "You''ve gone mad! It''s not like you don''t know that these things can''t be killed. However, they''re existences like this. Yet, you still dare to provoke them?" Fang Xing looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    "If we don''t provoke them, are we waiting for death?" Lin Tian asked as he pointed at Gu Yan''er.


    Fang Xing and Du Feng immediately turned to look at Gu Yan''er, only to discover that her brow was covered in sweat, and her face had turned even paler. This was a sign of her exhaustion, but after thinking about it, it was easy to understand.


    Under this kind of restriction, Gu Yan''er would naturally not be able to endure after continuously using her Yuan Power to release the poison gas.


    "What if she can''t take it? What should we do? Use our identity tokens?" Lin Tian asked again.


    Fang Xing stopped talking.


    To use an identity token meant to be eliminated. They naturally didn''t want to be eliminated in the first round.


    However, they couldn''t understand, there was such an existence as the Vampiric Demonic Vine in this region, did Yang Qingtian really know about it?


    If they knew, were they here to send them to their deaths?


    If he didn''t know, then this matter was really big.


    Just now, when the Vampiric Demonic Vine appeared, a lot of students died at its hands.


    If this continues, I''m afraid all of them will die ¡­


    Of course, it is possible that someone had already used an identity token and escaped ¡­


    However, these weren''t things that they should consider. Hearing Lin Tian''s seemingly crazy idea, the three of them were somewhat shocked. However, right now, it seemed that this was the only solution.


    Lin Tian, Du Feng and Fang Xing quickly moved out while Gu Yan''er continued to block the attacks of the Demonic Vines.


    "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" Sounds of explosions could be heard from time to time.


    The force from their palm landed on the ground and forcefully smashed the ground apart.


    Horned Demon said that the mother root was underground and that was the only way to go deep underground.


    Lin Tian used the dragon scale spear and continuously waved it, cutting off the vines that drilled out from the ground.


    It would take time for the cut off vines to regrow. Although it wasn''t long, it was definitely enough for them.


    The earth flew up, and as long as vines attacked, Lin Tian would instantly cut them off one by one ¡­


    But after a while, everyone already dug a few feet deep, but the deeper they dug, the more Lin Tian''s eyebrows wrinkled.


    The further down they went, the more vines they had, the thicker they grew, and the faster they grew.


    But this also proved that the closer they got to the mother root.


    As if it had sensed the movements of Lin Tian and the others, the demonic vines that were incomparably quiet due to fear of the poisonous gas on Gu Yan''er''s body began to stir restlessly.


    Numerous Demonic Vines swiftly began attacking Gu Yan''er.


    However, it was clear that Gu Yan''er''s poison aura could completely restrain them. The moment the Demonic Vine approached Gu Yan''er, it turned into pus.


    But even so, Gu Yan''er also felt the sudden increase in the pressure.


    "Quick, quick, quick!" Lin Tian, who was continuously brandishing his Dragon Scale Spear, also felt somewhat breathless.


    There are more and more Demonic Vines ¡­


    Not long after, finally, when he was several meters deep underground, Lin Tian finally felt an alarm coming from his Divine Palace.


    It was as if an extremely terrifying thing had appeared, causing Lin Tian to feel threatened.


    The whirlpool in his dantian quickly rotated, dispersing the uneasiness and anxiety in Lin Tian''s heart.


    "Brat, the mother root is about to come out ¡­" At this time, the Horned Demon within the Divine Palace suddenly spoke.


    At the same time, outside the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    From the very beginning, one after another, there were students who used their identity tokens and were saved.


    At the beginning, there weren''t that many people, but after that, there were more and more people.


    Until now, it had been a complete climax.


    Before long, there were already dozens of students using their identity tokens.


    "What''s going on?" Zhou Tian Xing frowned. Didn''t they know that by using their identity tokens, they basically meant that they had no fate with the following matches?


    However, looking at the students who had been sent out, their faces were filled with shock, and some even had expressions of having been reborn from their tribulations, Zhou Tian Xing became even more confused ¡­


    Without hesitation, he immediately went to find a genius from the East District, the one who had lost to Lin Tian earlier, Wang Tiangang, who possessed the physique of a beast spirit.


    "What is going on?" Zhou Tian Xing asked.


    Wang Tiangang recounted the situation inside with a few words.


    "Strange vines, sucking in human flesh? And then spit out the white bones? " Zhou Tian Xing''s brows were knit tightly together. How was this possible? Previously, he and the Headmasters of the other three branch academies had personally gone to the Withering Bloom Swamp to investigate. However, there wasn''t such a thing as what Wang Tiangang had said ¡­


    However, when he saw that Wang Tiangang''s face was also deathly pale, he didn''t ask any further questions.


    He had come back to tell Yang Qingtian and Nangong Ji about this.


    "This matter must be reported to the Headmaster!" They had also seen the current situation on the field.


    This must mean something must have happened inside. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be so many students choosing their identity tokens.


    Of course, there were still many people who hadn''t used their identity tokens yet, but according to what Wang Tiangang said, they were already dead.


    However, the most important people in the Northern Courtyard had not come out yet, especially Lin Tian. Could it be that something happened to him inside?


    The West Branch''s President, Nangong, and the South Branch''s Dean, Zhang Wuya, also nodded their heads in agreement. The West Branch''s President, Nangong, and the South Branch, Zhang Wuya, also nodded their heads in agreement.


    The four of them immediately came to the spectating platform and wanted to tell Gu Qingyuan about this.

 C282

    "What?" Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan''s expression immediately changed.


    He did not dare to hesitate, nor did he hesitate. He directly told the king everything that had happened.


    This fact was too big. Moreover, there was even the king''s most admired Lin Tian who did not come out.


    If something were to happen to Lin Tian, Gu Qingyuan did not doubt that the king would definitely be furious. It would even be possible for him to vent his anger on the Azure Province Academy.


    Indeed, when Gu Qingyuan whispered a few words into the king''s ear, the king suddenly slammed the table. The cups on the table were shattered by the king.


    Luo Tiannan of the Royal Academy, Su Qiu Shui of the Misty Academy, Wang Zhan of the Tiger Wolf Camp, and that sword fanatic of the Sword Inquisition were all looking at the king with astonished faces.


    They also did not know why the king would be so furious at this moment.


    The next moment, the king didn''t waste any time on words. Instead, he directly told the crowd what Gu Qingyuan had just said.


    "Strange looking Demonic Vines can absorb human flesh and spit out bones?" Everyone looked at the king in shock as a trace of disbelief flashed through their eyes.


    However, it was still Su Qiu Shui from the Misty Academy who spoke up a moment later, "Could it be a kind of demon beast, occupying the vines and absorbing human blood essence?"


    Her guess was also the guess of most other people. Right now, this was the only explanation.


    Because, according to the description, this was the only possibility.


    However, Gu Qingyuan shook his head and said, "That''s not right. If it''s a demonic beast, how can these students not recognize it?"


    What Wang Tiangang said was obviously an extremely terrifying vine and not a demon beast ¡­


    On the side, the sword fanatic who had been silent all this time took the wine gourd from his waist, gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. After drinking a few mouthfuls, the sword fanatic suddenly opened his mouth and said, "F * ck, this kind of damned thing, could it be the legendary Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­"


    Everyone suddenly quieted down as soon as they heard these words.


    Dead silence. Before everyone, there had been dead silence. Everyone seemed to have been shocked by what Jian Chi had just said.


    However, a moment later, the king exploded with rage.


    "Blood-Thirsty Demonic Vine, if there really is such a thing, and if the students that didn''t use their identity tokens come out again, I will kill all of you with a single palm!"


    These words were not directed to others but to Zhou Tian Xing, Nan Gong Shi and the others. These people were the witnesses to the first round of the competition, and were also responsible for finding the Withering Bloom Swamp and setting up a power restriction in it, allowing all the students to participate in the trial.


    If there really was a Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine in the Withering Bloom Swamp, then those students might not be able to survive.


    However, before this, when they had chosen the location of the examination, Zhou Tian Xing and the others had not discovered such a monster. It was their fault.


    In addition, because Lin Tian was also among them, they did not know the king''s expectations of Lin Tian, but Gu Qingyuan understood him quite well, so Gu Qingyuan could understand why the king would have such a reaction.


    However, Zhou Tian Xing''s group of four now had terrified looks on their faces.


    They all knew what the Vampiric Demonic Vine meant, but they also didn''t know why such a terrifying thing would appear in the Aeons Swamp. They had indeed investigated it before, but in the Aeons Swamp, there were only poisonous barriers and some demonic beasts below the seventh grade of the third stage.


    Other than that, there was nothing else.


    Why did that Vampiric Demonic Vine appear now?


    Gu Qing Yuan looked at the king who had exploded into a rage. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My lord, please calm your anger, not to mention what exactly that vine is, but the Vampiric Demonic Vine has already disappeared from the Sky Dragon Continent for many years and has not been heard of anywhere for so many years. Therefore, I feel that this matter should not be covered with a single word.


    Gu Qing Yuan was naturally not just bluffing. All of them were extremely clear that it would be a disaster for them, Tian Luo, if such a vicious creature really appeared in this place.


    As he thought of this, the king was shocked and angry. As he looked at the expressions on Zhou Tian Xing''s group of four, he wanted to kill them with a single slap.


    But he also knew that now was not the time to settle the score, but the time to confirm whether or not those terrifying vines were truly the terrifying Blood-Thirsty Demonic Vines.


    At the same time, he wanted to see if the students in the Withering Bloom Swamp who had yet to come out were still alive ¡­


    When they thought of this, everyone quickly began to move. The king spoke no more and followed Gu Qing Yuan, dashing towards the Ku Rong Swamp one after the other.


    When the few people behind saw that the king had already rushed to the front, they naturally did not dare to be slow and quickly followed him.


    Zhou Tian Xing and the others were no exception.


    However, just as they entered the Withering Bloom Swamp, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.


    There was no need to enter. Outside, they could see everything.


    At this moment, the entire swamp was filled with vines. The speed at which these vines were growing at had reached an extremely terrifying level.


    At this moment, all the trees were densely covered with light red vines.


    The vines on the ground were tangled up like long snakes, coiling around each other.


    At this moment, countless vines were rapidly growing upwards from underground.


    At this moment, the vines clearly felt the arrival of the king, Gu Qingyuan and the rest.


    In the next moment, all the vines madly rushed towards the king''s men.


    The light red vines, in addition to their strange speed of growth, made it so that they lived underground.


    At this moment, even if everyone didn''t want to admit it, they had no choice but to admit that these vines came from the legendary beast, the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    "Whether it is or not, we''ll know after testing it out!" At this moment, the sword fanatic behind him suddenly spoke up.


    "Kill!" His longsword instantly struck out.


    In that instant, an incomparably terrifying cold light flashed out from the longsword. In the next moment, the cold light scattered all over the Devil Vines.


    The monstrous sword aura completely erupted out in an instant.


    The sword qi was surging like a great river, giving off an astonishing aura, an endless atmosphere ¡­


    "Woosh, woosh, woosh ¡­"


    Wherever the sword radiance of the Lord Sword Addicts went, the vines would immediately break.


    At the same time, the cut off vines also splattered out streams of dark red juice that looked like blood.


    However, after a short while, something strange happened. Those vines that had been cut down by the sword, suddenly grew back again.


    In the blink of an eye, those vines started to grow just like before, before they charged towards the crowd once again.


    "That''s right, with such a tenacious life force and such growth rate, it is definitely the Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­" The sword fanatic sheathed his sword and took out the jade gourd again. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine before speaking again.


    At this moment, the expressions of everyone changed.


    The king''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He had originally come to watch the Freshman Rites with an exceptionally happy mood, but he had not expected that the Azure Province School would actually give him such a huge surprise ¡­


    AHH!" "At this moment, in the dense forest of the Withering Bloom Swamp, the screams and screams of some students could be heard one after another.


    But none of them moved, none of them moved.


    Because at this time, in the forest, there were such things. Even if their strength was high and they were incomparably powerful, what could they do?


    If I don''t cut off the mother root of these vines and kill them, these vines will be endless ¡­


    However, how difficult would it be to kill the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine?


    At the same time, deep in the forest, at a certain moment, Lin Tian suddenly let out an explosive shout: "Attack!"

 C283

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Fang Xing forced himself to keep up with his nearly exhausted physical strength, then he spat out another stream of mental energy before he cut off the Vampiric Demonic Vine that was charging towards them from the ground below.


    Du Feng summoned the power of the earth, and the mud quickly turned into sharp blades, blocking the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines'' attack.


    Lin Tian felt a bit of regret. Du Feng wasn''t very good at using the power of the earth. What he was good at was still the power of wind.


    But at this moment, the entire forest was filled with traces of these Demonic Vines, there was no sign of wind ¡­


    The Body of Heaven''s Path was the physique that allowed one to communicate with the heavens, borrowing all the power of the heavens and the earth for one''s own use.


    What Du Feng is proficient in is the power of wind. When it comes to other powers, it is like this power of earth, he is not that proficient in it ¡­


    If Du Feng was really good at using the power of the earth, then they wouldn''t have to spend so much effort to dig this huge pit under their feet.


    Right now, this huge pit had consumed a lot of their energy.


    In addition to that damnable power restriction, the more they resist, the more power they want to use. That power restriction, the more terrifying the suppression is, and the more resistance they receive ¡­


    Fortunately, Lin Tian had already faintly felt the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    Just now, his soul had made a warning, but now, his soul began to tremble violently.


    This was the first time that Lin Tian''s soul had such a strange change.


    His soul was also afraid of that underground thing.


    And in the end, the Primordial Dragon Symbol between his soul eyebrows suppressed the trembling of his soul ¡­


    "Boy, the mother root of this Vampiric Demonic Vine is indeed a frightening thing, but it is also a treasure. Since you''ve already reached this stage, how about you think of a way to subdue this Vampiric Demonic Vine?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s face was now filled with disbelief as he looked at Hornless, "Just now you had the nerve to say that I was crazy. I think you must have gone mad ¡­ ¡­"


    Previously, when Horned Demon mentioned the Demonic Vine for the first time, he still advised Lin Tian to quickly escape ¡­


    But now, he even said that he wanted Lin Tian to subdue the Demonic Vine ¡­


    "Previously, when I advised you to run away, that was the safest way. At that time, the Demonic Vines had yet to flood the land, so you can totally escape, but you didn''t listen to my advice. On the contrary, you wanted to kill this Demonic Vine''s mother ¡­" Horned Demon said faintly, "What you are doing right now is basically suicidal. Since you are prepared to die, why don''t you think about taming this Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­"


    "As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. If by any chance you don''t die and you manage to tame this Vampiric Demonic Vine, wouldn''t that be killing two birds with one stone ¡­"


    Horned Demon said with a matter-of-fact expression.


    However, seeing that Lin Tian did not even put his suggestion to heart, Hornless immediately said again: "Little brat, let me ask you, what do you think of Gu Yan''er''s Woeful Poison Body?"


    "At that time, you said that a single Poison Body was equivalent to thousands upon thousands of men and horses. Now that Gu Yan''er''s Poison Body has evolved again, her strength should be at least a few hundred times stronger than before. Naturally, she is extremely powerful ¡­"


    "That''s right." "If I were to tell you that the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine is as terrifying as the Woeful Poison Body of Gu Yan''er, you ¡­"


    "A thousand Woeful Poison Body?" Lin Tian immediately exclaimed.


    "That''s right, and this is before the Vampiric Demonic Vine has fully matured. When the Vampiric Demonic Vine has fully matured, even ten thousand, a hundred thousand of the Woeful Poison Body wouldn''t be a match for it ¡­" Hornless nodded and asked again, "Kid, how was it? Are you interested? "


    "Fuck, it''s done!" Lin Tian did not hesitate any longer. Clenching his teeth, he said without hesitation.


    "Un, that''s right ¡­" Horned Demon smiled and said: "You don''t have to worry too much. This Vampiric Demonic Vine, if I''m not wrong, it should still be a sprout. Otherwise, with the poison aura on Gu Yan''er''s body, she won''t be able to destroy these Demonic Vines ¡­"


    "This is a good time to make a move against it ¡­" Hornless continued.


    "Enough nonsense, tell me what I should do." Lin Tian at once interrupted Hornless'' discussion ¡­


    "It''s simple, this Vampiric Demonic Vine loves human blood essence the most, especially some experts with special physiques, so ¡­"


    Horned Demon did not continue and Lin Tian also understood his meaning.


    "Looks like my blood is really popular ¡­" Ever since he had obtained the inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence, the blood no longer seemed to belong to him. At almost any time, as long as there was a need, he would have to pay a huge price ¡­ ¡­


    "The Vampiric Demonic Vine''s seedling must have just awoken, so right now, its might is not very strong. However, the Vampiric Demonic Vine has intelligence, you can try and communicate with it ¡­" Horned Demon explained his plans and thoughts, "As long as you agree to it, give it enough blood essence to support it and let it grow. This Vampiric Demonic Vine is completely possible to follow you ¡­"


    "Then, don''t I have to constantly provide the blood for it and raise it?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Nonsense, if you don''t want to keep it, do you want me to raise it?" Horned Demon unhappily said, but then he comforted her, "This Vampiric Demonic Vine is a big help. If you want to make it your ending, how can you not pay?"


    "It''s not consuming your blood, so of course it''s easy for you to say ¡­" Lin Tian coldly replied.


    You know how many ancient powers tried to catch this Vampiric Demonic Vine''s mother root, but they all failed in the end? This thing, why do you think you would be so lucky? The Vampiric Demonic Vine''s mother root is only a seedling, and do you have any blood on you that can lure it? Horned Demon said another sentence, but the next moment, he shouted in fear once again, "Enough, stop talking nonsense. Brat, the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine is about to come out ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian still wanted to ask something, but Horned Demon had already disappeared from his Divine Palace ¡­


    "Hey, at least tell me how to communicate with it ¡­" Lin Tian let out a long sigh. He didn''t know why, but this Horned Demon was becoming more and more unreliable. At critical moments, he would drop the chain and disappear without a trace ¡­ ¡­


    However, after understanding how to subdue the Vampiric Demonic Vine, Lin Tian didn''t think much of it. Instead, he had Du Feng and Fang Xing stop fighting.


    Du Feng and Fang Xing looked at Lin Tian with doubt in their eyes. They didn''t know why Lin Tian would suddenly stop their hands ¡­


    In the next moment, without the help of Fang Xing and Du Feng, the Vampiric Demonic Vine began to grow rapidly, arriving at Lin Tian and the others'' feet almost immediately.


    However, at this moment, Gu Yan''er''s body was still emitting an extremely terrifying poison aura. The poison aura tightly wrapped around them and those Demonic Vines were completely unable to touch their bodies ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian also had a serious expression as he directly cut his own palm.


    In the next moment, a stream of blood shot out like an arrow and landed on the demonic vines that were rapidly growing on the ground.


    However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.


    After the droplets of blood landed on the Demonic Vines, the Demonic Vines immediately let out a pitiful cry. At the same time, their bodies also rapidly emitted white smoke, and before long, the Demonic Vines that had stained Lin Tian''s blood completely withered, before finally dying.


    But Lin Tian''s blood stayed on the vine, but not for long.


    The blood seeped down again.


    However, right at this moment, a frightening throbbing came from underground.


    Not long after, the Vampiric Demonic Vines quickly gathered one by one, forming a small grass like creature that was still glowing with a green light.


    In the next moment, that grass directly swallowed all of the blood that Lin Tian had dropped ¡­ ¡­


    It was also at this moment that the grass that had swallowed the few drops of blood suddenly became much greener ¡­

 C284

    "What ¡­ what is going on?" Fang Xing and Du Feng immediately looked towards Lin Tian in doubt.


    Lin Tian actually used his own blood to raise the Vampiric Demonic Vine?


    Is he crazy?


    Lin Tian did not explain too much. Instead, he looked at the grass with a face full of shock: "This is the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine?"


    He imagined countless mother roots of the Vampiric Demonic Vine in his mind, but he never imagined that they would actually look like this.


    It was actually a small blade of grass?


    "You are not to underestimate this grass ¡­" While Lin Tian was still in shock, a slightly young voice suddenly came from that small grass ¡­ Of course, only Lin Tian was able to hear that voice, because it directly traveled to Lin Tian''s Divine Palace ¡­


    "What the f * ck?" Lin Tian finally couldn''t bear it anymore. Was this grass really the root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine?


    Horned Demon had just said that the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine was sentient, and now that it produced such a sound, it confirmed that this grass was probably the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­


    "Yes, I am. Right, do you still have that blood just now?" The grass asked again.


    And then, just like a human, he smacked his lips ¡­


    Lin Tian still felt that it was a bit inconceivable and then asked again: "You really are the mother of the Vampiric Demonic Vine?"


    "Of course, they are all my subordinates. How about it, I''m powerful ¡­" The grass spoke again and shook its body proudly.


    The grass swayed and the surrounding Vampiric Demonic Vine also started to sway along with it. It was as if it was dancing and looked extremely comical ¡­


    "Oh yeah, you still haven''t answered my question. Do you still have that blood just now?" Little Grass asked Lin Tian once again.


    "Yes." Lin Tian''s lips trembled for a moment, but in the end he still said this.


    "Give it to me!" Little Grass immediately became happy and directly faced Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?"


    "Give it to me!" Obviously, it felt a bit angry that Lin Tian had not obeyed its order.


    "Why should I give it to you?" Lin Tian immediately smiled. This mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine was rather interesting. It didn''t say anything and wanted Lin Tian to bleed for it again ¡­ ¡­


    But what basis did it have?


    "I said, give it to me!" Little Grass'' voice was filled with even more anger, and she once again shouted angrily at Lin Tian.


    With the anger of the grass, the countless Vampiric Demonic Vines in the surroundings started to dance wildly.


    At the same time, in all the areas in the forest, all of the Vampiric Demonic Vines seemed to have felt a call and crazily and quickly gathered in the direction of Lin Tian''s group of four.


    Not long later, all the Demonic Vines had fully gathered and completely surrounded Lin Tian and the other three.


    Countless layers of demonic vines covered the sky, making it look extremely terrifying.


    "Why should I give it to you?" Lin Tian asked again.


    The reason he had been willing to give up blood just now was because he didn''t want to give up blood. This little thing probably wouldn''t appear, as expected, the blood''s temptation was huge. After Lin Tian let out a few drops of his blood, he lured this little grass out.


    "If you don''t give it to me, I''ll be angry!" The small grass angrily said. It sounded somewhat childish, but Lin Tian couldn''t laugh out loud ¡­.


    Because at this moment, almost all of the Demonic Vines around Lin Tian and the others started to move.


    In the next moment, all of the Demonic Vines madly surged and attacked Lin Tian''s group.


    Gu Yan''er immediately felt the pressure around her increase, although countless Demonic Vines would turn into pus upon encountering her poison.


    However, the other Demonic Vines still rushed forward crazily without fear of death.


    Gu Yan''er''s body also began to sway a little after the poison was swiftly exhausted. Clearly, it was difficult for her to accept that she was blocking an attack that was like a tide ¡­


    "Don''t worry, they''re coming for me. If I go out by myself, you won''t be under so much pressure!" Lin Tian said to Gu Yan''er and the other two as he walked out of Gu Yan''er''s gas barrier.


    Gu Yan''er''s body was already on the verge of collapse and she was barely holding on. But now, she had reached her limit.


    However, now that Lin Tian had taken a sudden step forward, Gu Yan''er''s pressure was greatly reduced ¡­


    But after leaving Gu Yan''er''s protection, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine also started to madly charge towards Lin Tian.


    The Demon Vines were currently quickly binding Lin Tian''s body, seemingly about to suck all of Lin Tian''s blood essence and flesh at any time.


    The three of them were all shocked, not knowing what Lin Tian was trying to do.


    Did he go out to seek death?


    This was because after Lin Tian took a step forward, he did not retaliate or resist at all. He let the Demon Vines firmly bind him.


    "If you kill me, you probably won''t be able to absorb that level of blood anymore ¡­" Although Lin Tian was tightly bound by the Vampiric Demonic Vine, his face didn''t have the slightest fear or dread. On the contrary, Lin Tian had a calm expression as he said these words.


    "Hmph, don''t try to lie to me. The blood just now was the blood in your body. I will kill you now and suck your blood dry. Presumably, after I suck your blood dry, I will be able to grow even more powerful ¡­" At this moment, Little Grass had an excited expression on her face as she looked towards Lin Tian.


    "Is that so? But if you kill me and suck my blood dry, what will happen after you do?" Lin Tian, on the other hand, did not have too many emotions fluctuating, and instead asked the small grass.


    "Do you still have any blood left to drink?"


    "No more..." Without waiting for Little Grass to reply, Lin Tian Deng once again replied.


    "Because if you kill me, I will no longer have blood for you to drink ¡­" Lin Tian continued speaking, then he sighed: "Indeed, in the end you are just a Spirit Channeling Grass. Even if you were Spirit Channeling, you would still not be able to compare to the wisdom of humans ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Little Grass was immediately stunned by Lin Tian''s words. It hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Then what do you think I should do?"


    "Haha, although the process is very thrilling, I still won the bet ¡­" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth curled into a happy smile.

 C285

    That''s right, just now was just a gamble. However, luckily, Lin Tian had won the gamble.


    He was betting on how far this little grass had reached ¡­


    But from the looks of it, this grass, even if it was the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine, was only a being that had just opened its intelligence. It did not have the wisdom of a human ¡­


    Lin Tian also knew that it was incredibly dangerous just now, but he still stood out. His goal was to make that little grass believe that he wasn''t afraid of death.


    Afterwards, even if it killed Lin Tian, it could only temporarily absorb Lin Tian''s blood, but after that, it could not absorb Lin Tian''s blood anymore.


    Like this, the small grass did indeed get into it. It actually took the initiative to ask Lin Tian what he should do.


    What a joke, what could he do?


    Was he going to say that he wanted Little Grass to treat him like a pet, feed him, and let him provide it with endless blood essence?


    Lin Tian faintly smiled: "That blood just now was indeed my blood. Before answering your question, I want to ask you a question first. How is my blood compared to the blood you drank earlier?"


    Just now, the number of students that died at the hands of the Vampiric Demonic Vine was not small ¡­


    The reason why he asked this question was to let the grass draw a conclusion through comparison.


    And this conclusion was extremely important to all of Lin Tian''s following actions ¡­ ¡­


    "Your blood contains a strong power. This is what this little grass needs. It can allow me to grow quickly. It can be said that this is the most delicious food this little grass has ever eaten ¡­" Little Grass replied without hesitation.


    This is the conclusion I want! That was, Lin Tian''s blood was unique and useful to her!


    Lin Tian was ecstatic in his heart. He then continued to persuade: "Alright, since you know my blood''s uniqueness, you naturally know. If you can continuously devour my blood, you''ll be able to continuously grow, right?"


    "Yes." Little Grass nodded.


    "Well, if you suck me in now, you can only suck so much blood because there is only so much blood in my body. After that, you will never have my blood to drink. Then, what about your growth later on?" Lin Tian once again asked a question ¡­


    "Yeah." Little Grass immediately understood. "I can''t kill you. Now that all the blood in your body has been completely absorbed, what should I do in the future?"


    "I have a solution. Do you want to hear it?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.


    "What method is this? Quickly speak, quickly speak." Little Grass immediately became anxious.


    "Then can you put me down first?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before looking at the vines crawling all over his body as he spoke.


    "Alright." The grass didn''t hesitate at all as it gently twisted its body. Countless vines instantly shot out from Lin Tian''s body.


    In the next moment, all of the vines were retrieved by Little Grass.


    Without the vines binding him, Lin Tian once again regained his freedom.


    "This is a good omen. It seems that taking down this little grass isn''t an impossible feat." Lin Tian silently said in his heart.


    At this moment, Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng were all thoroughly shocked.


    "There''s actually such an operation?"


    Ignoring the three''s reactions, Lin Tian seriously said to the grass: "This method of mine is very simple. That is, you sign a contract with me and I will provide you with blood. You will depend on me!"


    "You lied to me!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, the small grass instantly became berserk again. In the next moment, the vines that had been retracted rushed towards Lin Tian, once again completely wrapping around him.


    This time, however, the vines did not hold back.


    Lin Tian felt the blood essence in his body rapidly flowing away ¡­


    "Looks like the matter of a contract is a taboo for Little Grass ¡­" Lin Tian did not panic. He quickly thought back to what he had just said and which part of him had a problem.


    But from the looks of it, he understood that it was due to the contract ¡­


    Thinking about it this way, this little grass wasn''t stupid. It knew what it could do and what it couldn''t.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and spoke again: "You might have misunderstood my meaning ¡­."


    "Misunderstanding, you humans are all shameless swindlers. I truly thought you wanted to consider for me, but I didn''t expect you to actually want me to submit to you and become your contracted slave. I''ll kill you!" Little Grass''s tone was filled with a terrifying rage.


    The next moment, his voice rang out again: "You really misunderstood me. I''m not asking you to submit to me, I have no other intentions ¡­."


    "I will no longer believe a swindler. By consuming you, I will be able to evolve to the next stage. After I transform, I will be able to kill countless humans and use them as my food. At that time, I will evolve once again, and I will be able to find even more good food ¡­" Little Grass''s vicious nature was completely aroused as she crazily howled at Lin Tian.


    "You really misunderstood my meaning ¡­" At this moment, Lin Tian was finally somewhat panicked. The blood essence in his body was quickly disappearing ¡­ ¡­


    "What I mean is, I''ll sign an equal contract with you!" Lin Tian shouted angrily at the grass.


    "A contract of equality?" That small grass suddenly stopped for a moment. Lin Tian Deng felt the blood in his body begin to gradually slow down.


    "There''s hope!" Lin Tian immediately felt his spirit shake. The words he had just said had worked.


    He immediately started to strike the iron, "What I mean is, between you and me, there is an equal contract, not between master and servant, but ¡ª a friendship ¡­"


    "Friends?" Little Grass was once again puzzled.


    "It is you and I who are partners. We are not using each other, but helping each other. I will help you grow. You help me raise my cultivation and then help me kill some of my enemies that I cannot kill ¡­" Lin Tian once again guided them.


    "Hmm?" Little Grass''s tone immediately became a bit more relaxed, as if Lin Tian''s words had moved her.

 C286

    "All I can guarantee is that as long as my strength continues to improve, my blood essence will continue to provide you with endless support ¡­" Lin Tian continued to speak with a tone full of sincerity.


    "You said it just now, my blood can help you grow. I promise, as long as you and I sign the contract, I will continue to provide you with blood essence until you fully mature."


    "Ugh ¡­" At this time, Little Grass shook its head, as if it was considering whether what Lin Tian said was true or not.


    "Y-you''re telling the truth. As long as I sign the contract with you, you''ll always provide me with your blood?" The grass licked its lips.


    "Of course, the premise is that you need the blood essence, and it cannot affect my cultivation. At the same time, you must promise me that you will help me in my life or death crisis!" Lin Tian did not waste any words and instead stated his conditions.


    This grass obviously wasn''t something that Lin Tian could freely ask for.


    One had to know that if too much of his blood essence was taken away, it would likely affect his own cultivation.


    Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Little Grass hesitated for a bit, but it was very clear that Lin Tian was able to provide him with a steady stream of blood essence. This was much more important than the conditions that he had mentioned.


    Little Grass was a little unwilling, but she still faced Lin Tian and said: "Alright then, I can sign the contract with you, but you have to promise, you definitely cannot lie to me. If you lie to me, even if I have to sacrifice my main body, I will die together with you ¡­"


    Lin Tian immediately nodded his head, then said: "You can be at ease. If I deceive you, wouldn''t it be a violation of the contract? When that time comes, you don''t need to die with me, I will be punished myself ¡­ ¡­"


    "Mm, alright then." Not long later, a drop of extremely pure blood suddenly condensed on the grass. In the next moment, the drop of blood arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    In the blink of an eye, that drop of blood essence had already landed between Lin Tian''s eyebrows.


    It was also at this time that Lin Tian Deng felt his soul tremble.


    At this moment, the Ancient Dragon Symbol within his soul violently erupted with a soul-stirring radiance and directly absorbed the drop of blood essence into it.


    Signing a contract was a unique way of communication between humans and demon beasts. Generally speaking, it was impossible for a human cultivator to sign an equal contract with a demon beast.


    This was because once it was an equal contract with the demonic beast, the human cultivators that signed the contract with the demonic beast would also be affected if anything happened to the demonic beast.


    Some experts wouldn''t allow such a thing to happen.


    Therefore, if they were to sign a contract, it would be an unequal contract. In other words, even if the demonic beasts were to die, it would not affect the human cultivators in any way.


    However, it was more common and common for human cultivators to sign contracts with demon beasts or other living beings.


    This was because if there were overly weak demon beasts that weren''t worth signing such a contract with, how could powerful demon beasts be subdued so easily?


    This time, Lin Tian actually took a huge risk in signing the contract with the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. If there was even the slightest mistake, then Little Grass and Lin Tian would suffer a backlash.


    However, if he signed the contract, it would definitely be a heavenly good fortune for Lin Tian.


    The Horned Demon also said just now that if the mother root of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine was fully formed, it would be equal to a thousand or even ten thousand Woeful Poison Body.


    Lin Tian felt a bit excited just thinking about it.


    The drop of blood essence was quickly absorbed by the Ancient Dragon Rune. In the end, it entered Lin Tian''s soul.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also felt that there was an extra strand of connection between his soul and the grass.


    Although the connection was very faint, Lin Tian was completely able to feel it.


    However, the small grass at this moment was a bit dispirited. It was obvious that the drop of blood essence was the small grass''s.


    At the same time, under the effect of the Ancient Dragon Symbol, an extremely pure drop of blood essence was condensed out from Lin Tian''s body. In the blink of an eye, that drop of blood essence had completely merged with that drop of blood essence.


    "Buzz buzz buzz!" Such a voice suddenly came from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly seemed to connect his heart with that little grass.


    Lin Tian seemed to be able to understand what Little Grass was thinking at this moment.


    At the same time, the grass also moved.


    In the next moment, the Demon Vines, which were originally overwhelming, were now quickly retrieved by Little Grass.


    In the blink of an eye, all of the Vampiric Demonic Vines in the area disappeared.


    Soon after, only a small blade of grass remained.


    Little Grass looked like she was drunk and rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s body suddenly surged with droplets of powerful blood before rushing towards the small grass.


    The small grass completely absorbed the blood and finally landed between Lin Tian''s eyebrows. It rushed into Lin Tian''s divine talisman and rushed towards Lin Tian''s soul.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian felt his entire body tremble. That small grass was completely rooted in Lin Tian''s soul.


    With the support of Lin Tian''s soul, Little Grass immediately felt her strength increase greatly. Lin Tian''s soul also became more condensed at this moment.


    After the small grass and Lin Tian''s soul fused together, it quickly took root within Lin Tian''s soul. One vine after another rapidly wrapped around Lin Tian''s soul, thoroughly connecting and merging the large meridians in Lin Tian''s soul.


    This series of changes happened in an instant.


    This caused Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng to be taken aback. They had no idea what had just happened.


    But without the Vampiric Demonic Vine, the three of them let out a sigh of relief.


    Especially Gu Yan''er. She had persisted for such a long time under the suppression of the strength restriction, and it was indeed not easy.


    At this moment, she sat down cross-legged and began to absorb spirit stones to recover her strength.


    Fang Xing and Du Feng looked suspiciously at Lin Tian, wanting to ask what was going on.


    Lin Tian shook his head but didn''t say much. He directly said: "Now isn''t the time to talk. You guys go check if there are any surviving students left ¡­ ¡­"


    The two of them did not hesitate and left in a hurry.


    At this time, Lin Tian also sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    After signing the contract with the grass, Lin Tian felt his spirit was exhausted. That feeling made Lin Tian very uncomfortable. Right now, he was circulating his spirit energy to nurture his spirit. Only then was he able to suppress the terrifying feeling of weakness in his body.


    "Yi, what''s going on?" At this moment, outside the forest, the king suddenly cried out.


    It turned out that at that moment, those vines were everywhere. However, in an instant, those vines disappeared without a trace. No one knew what had happened in the depths of the forest.


    "Why are all four of you still staring at me?" When the king saw that the Demonic Vine was gone, he immediately roared at Zhou Tian Xing''s group of four, "Now go investigate the situation in the Withering Bloom Forest!"


    All of these unforeseen events were caused by these four people. Now that the Demonic Vine was no longer here, it was naturally their turn to settle this ¡­


    "Yes sir!" Zhou Tian Xing''s group of four was terrified, but they didn''t dare to say anything as they charged into the forest.

 C287

    However, when the four of them rushed into the forest, they discovered that more than half of the poisonous gas in the forest had already dissipated.


    As for the Demonic Vine, it had completely disappeared at this moment.


    There were piles of bones everywhere in the forest.


    Without even thinking, one could tell that the bones were left behind by the students who had entered the forest.


    To be honest, the four of them were a bit uncertain. They didn''t know why they were so unlucky. They were clearly inspecting the Withering Bloom Swamp and didn''t notice anything amiss, so why did something happen to them the moment they entered?


    Furthermore, they also knew that the king''s thunderous fury was due to the fact that Lin Tian, Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er had not come out yet.


    A lot of people had used their identity tokens to teleport out of the bog just now, but not a single one of them came out.


    Could something have happened?


    A cold intent immediately flashed through the hearts of the four. As they looked at the king''s enraged expression, no matter what, the four of them could no longer be blamed.


    Furthermore, Yang Qingtian himself was feeling extremely miserable. Those four students that had yet to come out were the top geniuses of the Northern Courtyard.


    If the four of them were to really die in this Ku Rong Swamp, Yang Qingtian wouldn''t even have a place to cry.


    The Northern Courtyard might not be able to recruit such a monstrous existence like Lin Tian in a hundred years, but this time, all of them were defeated by this so called Freshman Rite ¡­


    But just as Yang Qingtian was thinking this, Nan Gong Shi who was at the side, suddenly spoke up: "Look, there are still some students there ¡­"


    The remaining three people were startled. In the next moment, their gazes completely gathered at a spot not far away.


    At this moment, it was indeed as Nangong Shi had said. Not far away, there were a few people gathered together.


    The four of them did not hesitate and quickly rushed towards those people.


    "We''ve already found them. Other than us, no one else survived ¡­" Just now, Fang Xing and Du Feng had gone to investigate the situation, but aside from the few of them, not a single one of them was still alive.


    Lin Tian sighed as he suddenly felt a tinge of emotion. The road of martial arts was truly dangerous beyond compare. There were still many more challenges to face.


    No one knew if they would be the next to die.


    Of course, danger and opportunity coexisted at the same time. It was just like how many students who entered the Withering Bloom Swamp would never be able to leave.


    But Lin Tian unbelievably obtained the Vampiric Demonic Vine''s mother root ¡­


    Lin Tian sighed and shook his head. He threw these random thoughts to the back of his head.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er had completely recovered her Yuan Power.


    Most of the surrounding poisonous fog had also been absorbed by Gu Yan''er.


    Gu Yan''er possessed the Woeful Poison Body. This poison gas was undoubtedly a disaster for others. However, it was a good tonic for her. After absorbing this poisonous gas, his recovery speed was much faster than when he used spirit stones to recover his Origin Energy ¡­


    "Let''s go." Lin Tian said to the three of them.


    At this moment, there should only be the four of them left in the Withering Bloom Swamp. The first round of the assessment was to compete and see how long these students could last in this swamp.


    From the looks of it, the four of them should be the ones who persisted to the very end.


    "Lin Tian!" At this moment, a surprised and happy voice was suddenly heard from not too far away.


    Lin Tian was startled, this voice sounded very familiar, it sounded like Yang Qingtian''s voice.


    Lin Tian lifted his head to look, indeed it was true, not far away, the person flying over was really Yang Qingtian.


    However, it was not just Yang Qingtian. Other than him, the heads of the other three branch academies, Zhou Tian Xing, Nan Gong Shi and Zhang Wu Ya, had also come.


    When Yang Qingtian''s group of four saw Lin Tian''s group of four, a huge weight immediately dropped from their hearts.


    It was unbelievable that there were still surviving students.


    Especially Lin Tian and the other three.


    At this time, the happiest person was Yang Qingtian.


    Unexpectedly, the four most outstanding geniuses of the Northern Courtyard returned unharmed.


    "Honorable Headmasters." Lin Tian''s group of four quickly arrived in front of Yang Qingtian and greeted him.


    "Yes." Yang Qingtian nodded and looked around at the four of them, only to find that they were completely fine.


    Only then did he smile in satisfaction, "Brat, the four of you are quite lucky to be able to survive under that Vampiric Demonic Vine''s attack. Unbelievable ¡­"


    "Lin Tian, how did you survive in the Withering Bloom Swamp?" Nangong Shi couldn''t help but ask.


    They didn''t have much hope at first, but at this moment, they were shocked to see that Lin Tian''s group of four was actually still alive. How could they not feel astonished ¡­?


    "Actually, we don''t know what''s going on either ¡­" Without waiting for the other three to speak, Lin Tian directly spoke.


    "We originally relied on the poison aura that erupted from her body to temporarily stop the attack of the strange Demonic Vine. However, just when she was about to collapse and we had to use our identity tokens to teleport out, the Demonic Vine strangely disappeared ¡­" Lin Tian also had a face full of doubt.


    After hearing Lin Tian''s explanation, Nangong Technique and Zhang Wuya turned their gazes towards the three people beside Lin Tian.


    The four of them were in the same boat and had long since treated Lin Tian as their leader.


    At this moment, they naturally wouldn''t tear down Lin Tian''s stage and all nodded without the slightest hesitation.


    Actually, Lin Tian did not lie. They did not know about the matter of Lin Tian signing the contract with the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    "That''s strange, why would it be like this ¡­" After hearing Lin Tian and the other three''s explanations, Zhou Tian Xing was in disbelief.


    However, they did not doubt Lin Tian''s words because the Vampiric Demonic Vine was a terrifying existence that even they had to avoid.


    They naturally wouldn''t think that not only did Lin Tian find a way to deal with the Vampiric Demonic Vine, even the root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine was subdued by Lin Tian ¡­


    "Let''s not ask about these things first. We should be able to report back to the king once we find them ¡­" Although Yang Qingtian didn''t know why the king would be so furious, he faintly guessed that it had something to do with Lin Tian.


    Previously, Yang Qingtian had heard of Lin Tian''s performance in the beast tide. He thought that the king had heard of Lin Tian''s magnificent feat, and adding on the fact that the king had a good impression of Lin Tian, it would not be impossible if it was because of Lin Tian.


    Moreover, in this Freshman Competition, other than the few geniuses of the Northern Courtyard, the geniuses from the other three branches all relied on their identity tokens to be directly transported out.


    Regardless of whether it was Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Gu Qingling and the others, they were all unharmed.


    In other words, the dead and injured in the Withering Bloom Swamp were all students with weaker cultivations.


    Although the number of casualties was not small, the quality was generally poor.


    That is the only consolation ¡­]


    "Let''s go." Although the other three had doubts in their minds, after experiencing the fury of the king just now, they immediately gave up on the idea of asking Lin Tian. Instead, they brought four people and directly left the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    At this time, outside the Withering Bloom Swamp, the king was anxiously waiting.


    Their guess was correct. The king did not care about the death of the new students. He only cared about one person, and that was Lin Tian.


    This brat absolutely couldn''t get into trouble. After Lin Tian, he would be of great use to the king. Lin Tian was the most important part of his plan ¡­ ¡­


    Thus, he absolutely could not allow anyone to disrupt his plans. This was also the most important reason why the heads of the four branch academies were being cursed by the king.


    "They''re coming out." Gu Qingyuan seemed to have long known that the king would have this kind of reaction, so he wasn''t too surprised. At this moment, he sensed that there was someone emerging from the Withering Bloom Swamp and immediately facing the king.


    "It''s best to pray that that brat is fine, otherwise I will definitely smack him to death!" The king said fiercely.

 C288

    "The king can be at ease now, Lin Tian that brat is fine ¡­" Gu Qingyuan examined him once more before turning back to the king, "I''ve already sensed his aura."


    "Hmm?" The king was slightly startled, but immediately began to check the aura on Lin Tian''s body.


    Needless to say, he really did sense the aura on Lin Tian''s body.


    "Good, it''s good that the boy is fine ¡­" The king was overjoyed.


    On the side, Jian Chi, Su Qiushui, and Wang Zhan had all heard the conversation between the king and Gu Qingyuan.


    They were all a little curious about who the "brat" they were referring to was to actually make the king worry so much. Not only that, he even made the king say that if something were to happen to that brat, he would directly smack the heads of the four branch academies to death ¡­


    This immediately aroused their great curiosity. Could it be that a newly entered student was not even worth the headmasters of the four branches?


    Who was that kid?


    Yang Qingtian''s group of four, with Lin Tian''s group of four, quickly charged out.


    Personally seeing that Lin Tian was innocent was enough to let the king''s heart completely calm down.


    Without wasting any time, the king opened his mouth and asked Lin Tian and the others what had happened in the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    Lin Tian then told the king and a few others about what he had just said, but this time, it was even more detailed ¡­


    The king''s gaze swept across the three of them.


    The three of them nodded their heads once more.


    "Strange..." This time, before the king could say anything, the sword fanatic spoke again, "Geez, I''ve never heard of the Vampiric Demonic Vine disappearing on its own accord. Strange, strange ¡­"


    Su Qiu Shui and Wang Zhan also frowned slightly. They couldn''t understand how such a situation could have occurred.


    Fierce beasts like the Vampiric Demonic Vine were one of the huge monsters of the Ancient Era. They would absolutely not disappear for no reason. Some things they did not know even happened in the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    However, these people were not speaking the truth, so they had no way to judge ¡­


    The king also felt that this matter was not that simple. In addition, he already had a certain understanding of Lin Tian.


    If anyone else had a way to deal with the Vampiric Demonic Vine, the king would never doubt it.


    He had seen Lin Tian''s methods with his own eyes. Before, he thought that it was impossible, but Lin Tian had done it and this made the king naturally not dare to look down on Lin Tian ¡­


    But if it was said that Lin Tian had a way to deal with the Vampiric Demonic Vine, the king was still a little unwilling to believe it.


    How was this possible?


    The Vampiric Demonic Vine was an ancient monster. Not to mention him, even if everyone present attacked together, they wouldn''t be able to get rid of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. If Lin Tian really could get rid of the Vampiric Demonic Vine, what would happen?


    However, when Lin Tian said that the Vampiric Demonic Vine had naturally disappeared, the king did not quite believe him.


    The king knew that it was very difficult to cut off the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. At that time, when the entire Sky Dragon Continent erupted with chaos caused by the Vampiric Demonic Vine, even the most powerful experts and ancient experts had to pay a heavy price to kill the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. Even some of them had to die because the Vampiric Demonic Vine had to die ¡­


    "Amongst the four of you, who will be in charge of the next round?" The king turned his head to look at Yang Qingtian''s group of four.


    Nangong Shi immediately stood forward and said, "Reporting to the king, the next head is me ¡­"


    "Alright, tidy up the new students and calm their emotions before starting the preparation for the second round." the king ordered.


    Then, the king said to the other three, "The disaster of the Vampiric Demonic Vine was caused by you three, so from now on, I want all of you to bring me a piece of news regarding the Vampiric Demonic Vine, no matter what methods you use, even if you have to dig three feet deep into the ground or search the entire Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Do you understand?"


    "Understood!" The three of them immediately responded.


    "Then what are you still standing there for? Scram!" The king roared at the three of them once again.


    The three of them immediately rushed back into the swamp, continuing to search for the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    After all of this was done, the king did not say much. He only said indifferently, "The Freshmen Rites will continue. According to the original plan ¡­"


    Nan Gong did not dare to neglect it at all, he immediately answered: "Yes!"


    Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er, and Fang Xing returned to the ranks of the new students.


    However, the number of new students had decreased to only a few dozen.


    There were over a hundred experts who had participated in this Freshmen Rites. But now, there were only fifty or sixty of them left.


    Lin Tian lightly sighed once again and his spiritual will faintly moved. Afterwards, he felt the little grass on his soul.


    At this time, Little Grass had already fallen into a deep sleep. Lin Tian looked at the grass with a complicated gaze. Right now, there was already another secret within his body.


    Moreover, this secret was still unleaked. Once it was leaked, Lin Tian would naturally know what the consequences would be.


    Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Tian did not know whether it was good or bad that he had subdued the Vampiric Demonic Vine. He was afraid that one day, if the Vampiric Demonic Vine counterattacked, he would be the first one to suffer.


    Signing a contract with the Vampiric Vine was actually just trying to get something out of it. No one knew what would happen in the end ¡­


    However, he still shook his head vigorously and cast aside those thoughts in his mind.


    Next, I have to properly deal with the second round of the competition before me ¡­


    At the same time, Nan Gong Shi announced the rules of the second round.


    "It''s very simple. The second round is a test of your soul and physical strength!" Nangong Zi said roughly.


    The reason for the first round of the examination earlier was to assess his endurance, conviction, and the control of his Origin Energy that had been suppressed.


    The second round of the examination involved the soul and the strength of the fleshly body, which was not a surprise. Cultivators usually had to train in all aspects of martial arts.


    But, it was a pity. Actually, the good first round of the examination was destroyed by the Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­


    However, he should not worry about him now. This was because the upcoming trials would be carried out on the arena that he had built earlier.


    At this moment, the surroundings were filled with ultimate experts. It was likely that there would never be a situation like the one that occurred in the first round of the examination ¡­

 C289

    The method of the second round of examination is very simple. Everything has already been arranged in the middle of the arena ¡­


    He pointed to the center of the stage and said to the crowd: "You all have seen this huge stage, from beginning to end, there are about 300 steps between the start of the stage and the assessment method is also very simple. You guys start from the beginning and as long as you can take 100 steps, even if you pass, of course, powerful experts can try breaking through to a higher step ¡­"


    "It''s that simple?"


    When Nangong Shi''s words came out, it immediately incited discussion among all the students. Honestly speaking, none of them expected the second round of the assessment to be so simple.


    It turned out that he had taken more steps than who?


    Isn''t it just 300 steps? In the span of a few breaths, they can go back and forth several times ¡­


    "Is it simple?" However, I have to say one more thing for you all. The second round of the examination, the previous Freshmen Rites, the highest number of steps was two hundred and thirty-seven. This number of steps is already the best score my Azure Province had in the past hundred years.


    Of course, if we were to continue counting, a few hundred years ago, there would have been a student who took 287 steps, but that was also several hundred years ago. For nearly a hundred years, 237 steps is a huge gap for all students, and this record was set by the white-clothed Holy Son of our Azure Province Academy, Ji Fangge, during the year we entered the Azure Province Academy ¡­


    "Ji Fangge?" Lin Tian''s pupils slightly shrank. The result of the 237 steps was actually created by Ji Fang Ge. It seemed like Ji Fang Ge''s spirit and body strength back then was extremely terrifying.


    After all, a hundred steps is already considered qualified ¡­


    However, what made Lin Tian even more curious was that in the second round of the assessment, what kind of method was used to directly test out the power of their soul, and also their physical body?


    While everyone was still in shock, Nangong suddenly shouted: "Please use the Eternal Bell!"


    "Eternal Bell!" Lin Tian was even more astonished. He had never thought that it would actually be an ancient bell. He had previously thought about how Lin Tian would be able to test them, but now, everything had been resolved.


    He had actually used the ancient bell ¡­


    The Exquisite Pagoda, an ancient clock, was Qingzhou Academy''s two great treasures.


    The Exquisite Pagoda was used to evaluate the existence of Qingzhou Academy for the selection of students. As for the ancient bell, Lin Tian had never understood its use, but he had never thought that it would be used in this way.


    But knowing all this was useless. What sort of use did the Eternal Bell have? Or rather, Lin Tian didn''t even know what special powers the Eternal Bell had.


    But when Nangong Shi suddenly roared out, a yellow bell instantly appeared and descended from the sky, landing on the stage.


    In the center of the arena, the ancient clock stood. It was also at this moment that Lin Tian suddenly felt a wave of suffocating feeling.


    One had to know that they were still quite far from the ancient clock.


    But even so, all the students had different degrees of adverse reactions.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also felt his body suddenly become a lot heavier.


    In the next moment, all of these students realized to their shock that there were already two huge pits under their feet ¡­


    "No, there''s something wrong with this Eternal Bell!" Lin Tian immediately came to his senses. Just now, his chest and the stuffy feeling that came from the Divine Palace must have been brought about by the soul suppression from the ancient clock.


    He suddenly felt his body becoming heavier, and it was also because of the effect of the ancient clock. This was the effect of gravity ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately understood. Once this Eternal Bell was placed in the middle of the arena, the entire arena would fall into the magnetic field created by the Eternal Bell.


    Lin Tian and the others were still some distance away from the stage, but right now, they could already feel the effects of the ancient bell.


    Thinking about it this way, if I were to really step onto the arena and walk a few hundred steps on the arena, that would truly be an extremely difficult matter ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately stopped thinking of underestimating this round of examination.


    At the same time, the Archaic Dragon Talisman between his eyebrows quickly activated, immediately expelling the stifling feeling in his divine palace.


    As for the gravity around him, it was quickly driven out by Lin Tian''s whirlpool of Dantian.


    "Alright, students, listen to my command. Now, go up the arena!" The Nangong Technique immediately shouted out to the crowd.


    After dispelling the suffocating feeling in his heart and the discomfort from his body, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly went to the arena.


    The other students had also arrived at the arena one after another.


    However, just as they arrived at the arena, everyone felt a powerful and terrifying pressure pressing towards them from all directions.


    This was the power of that ancient bell.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate. Compared to him, his endurance was a bit better.


    So, as soon as he came up, Lin Tian almost did not stop and directly walked out.


    Now, in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already walked more than ten steps. However, the further he went, the closer he got to the ancient bell and the power emitted from it became stronger.


    At this time, seeing Lin Tian quickly move, the other students didn''t slow down and all followed Lin Tian''s footsteps. Although their speed wasn''t as terrifying as Lin Tian''s, they still followed him from start to finish.


    At the same time, Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er also began to move quickly.


    Lin Tian took the lead. Very quickly, he arrived in front of all the students.


    At this point, Lin Tian had already taken seventy to eighty steps ¡­ ¡­


    The Primordial Dragon Symbol within his Divine Manor was currently madly revolving, dispersing the pressure on his soul that was brought about by the ancient bell. The whirlpool within his dantian did its best to disperse the uncomfortable feeling on Lin Tian''s body.


    "Hopefully, this kid will be able to give me a pleasant surprise ¡­" At this moment, the king suddenly spoke up.


    "That''s right, I also hope that this brat can give me another surprise ¡­" Gu Qingyuan also said.


    The other chairmen of the other great academies also currently focused their gazes on Lin Tian.


    They now knew that the one who had caused the ancient bell to ring and the so-called brat that the king had mentioned just now was this Lin Tian in front of them!

 C290

    Just at this time, when Lin Tian walked more than a hundred steps, he suddenly discovered that the surrounding gravity and mental pressure had risen to an even more terrifying level.


    The more Lin Tian walked forward, the heavier his body felt. Even the power of his soul was gradually being affected.


    Even with the Primordial Dragon Symbol, it still couldn''t withstand the might of the ancient bell.


    Now he knew that the true power of the Eternal Bell could actually form a frightening magnetic field in this arena. At this moment, all of these students were under this magnetic field as they conducted the second round of the examination.


    In this magnetic field, even if one wanted to stand still, one would have to suffer the heavy pressure of this magnetic field. It was even worse than walking.


    Every step was extremely difficult.


    He adjusted Lin Tian''s physical strength to its best. The whirlpool in his dantian continuously provided blood energy. With the support of the blood energy, Lin Tian then walked over a hundred steps without any problems.


    But now, it made him feel a little powerless.


    The power of the fleshly body wasn''t without limits.


    Lin Tian felt that he had already reached the limit of his physical body.


    With every step he took, he could feel the gravity of the surrounding world pressing down on him.


    The sword fanatic shook his head and said, "This kid is a bit too radical. Right now, there is no one around to help him share the gravity. If this goes on, I estimate that 180 steps would be his limit ¡­"


    Su Qiu Shui and Wang Zhan both nodded in agreement.


    They were not unfamiliar with the ancient clock and also knew that the magnetic field created by it could suppress students like them. The other students had only walked about fifty steps, which was half of Lin Tian''s, but because the other students had all advanced together, everyone was able to share some of the gravity. To everyone, the gravity was greatly reduced.


    At the very least, it wasn''t as terrifying as the gravity that Lin Tian had to bear alone.


    And the reason this kind of result occurred was because Lin Tian was simply too rash. In just a few breaths, he had already walked over a hundred steps.


    Gu Qing Yuan and the king looked at each other and smiled, but did not say anything. Previously, they had seen a place where Lin Tian was stronger and more terrifying, but right now, this little bit of gravity from the ancient clock could at most cause some trouble for Lin Tian, but it shouldn''t stop him from continuing forward ¡­


    However, they did not say it because they had never truly seen Lin Tian''s potential. Even if they had said it, they would not have believed it ¡­


    "The pressure is increasing ¡­" Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er were advancing in unison, roughly a dozen steps away.


    The three of them used their own methods and threw away some of the experts, but compared to Lin Tian, they weren''t too outstanding.


    As for the other geniuses, such as Wang Tiangang, Zhang Taixu, Su Tian, Gu Qingling, and a few others, they were all quite a distance away from Lin Tian.


    Up until now, Lin Tian had already walked around 130 steps on the stage.


    Su Tian''s powerful physical body, coupled with the suppression from his Mental Energy, were almost useless to him. Very quickly, he had also lost out against the other experts. Up until now, he had already broken through the one hundred step barrier.


    Passing the 100th step naturally meant that their second round of examination had basically steadily advanced ¡­


    One after another, some of the more powerful experts had already completely passed the one hundredth step.


    At this time, Lin Tian had already reached the one hundred fiftieth step.


    He was only thirty steps away from the limit of 180 steps mentioned by Sir Jian Chi.


    And this time, Lin Tian''s speed had completely slowed down. At least, it was several times slower than before ¡­


    Those geniuses who had passed the hundred steps, their speed had also decreased drastically, slowing down by a lot.


    The main thing was that after a hundred steps, the pressure, gravity, and spiritual force restrictions got bigger and bigger.


    They did not doubt that if they did not forcefully move forward, it was very likely that they would be suppressed by that terrifying suppression. Not only would they be unable to enter, it was even possible that they would regress ¡­


    Lin Tian took a deep breath and then continued walking forward.


    Before long, he suddenly heard a ripping sound come from his body.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled as he looked at his clothes in surprise.


    He quickly discovered that the clothes at his chest area had actually been torn apart.


    Following that, the tearing sounds became louder and louder.


    In the end, there was only a "kacha" sound.


    Lin Tian''s clothes finally completely disintegrated.


    After which, it revealed a body covered in golden light.


    "Step 180 ¡­" Lin Tian silently noted down his steps. Right now he had already reached the 180th step ¡­ ¡­


    "He has actually already reached one hundred eighty steps. I have underestimated this brat ¡­" The sword fanatic was slightly startled. Then, he awkwardly raised his wine gourd and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He didn''t say anything more.


    Just now, Lin Tian''s speed seemed to be extremely slow. Moreover, it seemed like his body could be crushed by that restriction at any time. However, there wasn''t any problem at all.


    Although Lin Tian moved forward one step at a time, in the end, he still did it.


    Very quickly, even though the progress had slowed down, Lin Tian had already broken through to the 200th step.


    Many years ago, Ji Fang Ge had created the best result of the Azure Province Academy in the past few hundred years. He had reached two hundred thirty-seven steps. At this moment, Lin Tian was only thirty-seven steps away from the record.


    Furthermore, there was only a distance of 80 steps away from the most impressive record of the Azure Province academy ¡­


    Lin Tian exhaled a long breath in his heart. Feeling the rapidly increasing pressure in his surroundings, Lin Tian completely let go of his hands and feet.


    Within the whirlpool in his Dantian, the drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly showed some activity.


    "Swish, swish, swish." From Lin Tian''s body came this sound.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian seemed to have strengthened his strength by a lot as he continued to move forward.


    However, after crossing the 200th step, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that the magnetic field formed on this ancient bell had undergone a new change ¡­


    This time, he suddenly felt dizzy.


    The next moment, he felt a strange scene appear in front of his eyes ¡­

 C291 Recurrent hallucination

    "Tian ¡­" Just at this time, a woman''s voice sounded in Lin Tian''s ears.


    Hearing this voice, Lin Tian opened his eyes with difficulty and then looked towards a nearby area.


    At this moment, the silhouette of a woman gradually appeared in front of him.


    That woman was as gentle as jade and her eyes were clear and bright. Between her brows, there seemed to be worry that could not be dispelled ¡­


    "Mother ¡­"


    Lin Tian was silent for a long time before woodenly speaking.


    The woman in front of him was none other than Lin Tian''s mother, Lu Wushuang.


    Since he was young, Lin Tian had never seen his own mother.


    It was also the first time he had heard about his mother from Uncle Yu.


    However, the first time he had seen his mother was on the sixteenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, within the nightmare illusions. This was the first time he had seen his mother''s true appearance.


    This girl in front of him was his mother ¡­


    "Tian, do you hate your mother?" At this time, Lu Wushuang suddenly spoke up.


    "Hmm?"


    "When you were young, your mother abandoned you. I''ve never seen you in all these years. Do you hate your mother?"


    Lu Wushuang smiled miserably and asked Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not reply.


    "Evil son, your mother is talking to you, how dare you not answer!" At this moment, another voice sounded.


    However, the voice belonged to a man.


    Lin Tian raised his head again.


    That''s right, the man in front of him was his father. He was a taboo in the Tian Luo Kingdom, and even in the West Spirit Realm.


    Lin Feng.


    "Father..."


    Lin Tian''s lips opened and closed again and again. In the end, he still indifferently said this sentence.


    It seems that ever since he was young, he has never called out like this ¡­


    "You even know that I''m your father!" The man was furious and shouted at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian carefully sized up his parents in front of him. His father had starry eyes and was a genius. Lin Tian could even see his own appearance in Lin Feng''s eyes ¡­


    Then, she said to Lin Tian once again: "Tian''er, I know you haven''t said it, but in your heart, you''re still resentful towards your mother. Your mother followed your father, thus bringing about a calamity upon the Lin Family, causing you to suffer so much humiliation for so many years, mother, mother, I''m sorry ¡­"


    Lin Tian still did not reply.


    "Young Master!" At this moment, an aged voice sounded out from not too far away. It was the voice of Uncle Yu, the one who raised him into an adult ¡­


    "Master, quickly apologize to Madam. No matter what, she is your mother ¡­" Uncle Yu tried his best to persuade him.


    Lin Tian continued to raise his head, then said woodenly: "Uncle Yu, long time no see. Previously, when I saw you, it was all in a dream, but I didn''t expect that this time, I would actually be able to see you here. Uncle Yu, seeing you, I''m very happy ¡­"


    "Lin Tian!" It was another woman''s voice.


    This time, Lin Tian''s expression finally had a tinge of emotion. He raised his head and his face was full of smiles: "Yun Huang, long time no see ¡­."


    That''s right, this woman was Yun Huang.


    However, Yun Huang had greatly changed.


    Right now, Yun Huang was covering his lower abdomen. Lin Tian could clearly see that Yun Huang''s lower abdomen was already somewhat bulging. It seemed that he had been pregnant for a long time.


    "Lin Tian, our child is about to be born ¡­." Yun Huang looked dotingly at her stomach, and smiled sweetly: "Have you thought about what to name our child?"


    "Lin Yun." Lin Tian smiled indifferently and said: "I''ve long since thought about it. If you have our child, then call him Lin Yun. Whether it''s male or female, Lin Tian''s forest, Yun is Yun Huang''s cloud ¡­ ¡­"


    Although Lin Tian had a smile on his face, within his eyes was an indescribable clarity. That gaze seemed more like that of a spectator silently watching everything from in front of him.


    "Yun''er, did you hear that? Your father has given you a name. From now on, mother will call you Yun''er, okay?" Yun Huang said with a slight smile.


    "Lin Tian, if I had met you earlier, would you have liked me?" Another female voice rang out. Lin Tian raised his head and then lightly sighed.


    The one standing in front of Lin Tian was currently Hua Ruyi, who had been entangled with him before.


    At this time, Hua Rui''s eyes were filled with tears as she stared unwaveringly at Lin Tian, as if she was waiting for Lin Tian''s reply.


    This time, Lin Tian was silent.


    After being silent for a long time, Lin Tian shook his head: "I don''t know ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian did not have an answer in his heart, he did not know, if he did not meet Yun Huang and Hua Ruyi first, would he have fallen in love with her.


    He might fall in love with her, but he might not ¡­


    This sort of thing, there was no ''if''. What happened between him and Yun Huang could only be described with one word.


    "Fate!"


    That''s right, the relationship between Lin Tian and Yun Huang was probably fated to be fated.


    The right time, the right place, the right person.


    Thus, even if there was anything wrong with it, it was not fate ¡­


    "Tian, I''m afraid Master won''t be able to live any longer. Promise Master, live well and take good care of your Junior Brother ¡­" This was Xiao Yunhai''s voice.


    Lin Tian looked at the current Xiao Yunhai. In his arms was a child of only two or three years old, his entire body bathed in blood. After placing the child on the ground, Xiao Yunhai had collapsed, dying on the spot.


    "Lin Tian ¡­"


    "Tian ¡­"


    "Brother Tian ¡­"


    In an instant, all the sounds swept towards Lin Tian.


    Every single person that Lin Tian recognized or did not recognize, even some people that were already dead, let out a sound that suddenly rang out next to Lin Tian''s ear.


    Lin Tian didn''t move at all, as if he was immersed in his memories.


    On the arena, everyone''s gazes were on Lin Tian.


    The reason was very simple. From the time Lin Tian stepped past the 200th step, he had been standing on the spot, not moving at all ¡­


    Lin Tian seemed to be immersed in some kind of illusion.


    However, at this time, the other experts had also arrived 1780 steps away one after another.


    Besides Lin Tian, there was another person leading the group, Su Tian. He had also arrived at the two hundredth step ¡­


    After reaching the two hundred step mark, Su Tian also stopped his body slightly. However, after a moment, he moved again and continued to walk forward.


    Su Tian had actually already surpassed Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian did not seem to feel it as he continued to immerse himself in his own world.


    As for the other geniuses that had reached the 200 step mark, they too were lost. However, they quickly regained their wits and continued walking forward.


    Very quickly, there were already a dozen or so people in front of Lin Tian.


    Of course, it was obvious that the 200 steps was a huge threshold. Most of the steps couldn''t even be reached and ended up in failure.


    There were only a few dozen people who could reach the 200 step and above.


    Lin Tian was still immersed in his own world.


    "Brother Qing Yuan, has this boy really passed the sixteenth level of the Exquisite Pagoda''s smelting trial?" At this moment, Wang Zhan couldn''t help but ask.


    Su Qiu Shui and Jian Chi heard Wang Zhan''s question and immediately focused their gazes on Gu Qing Yuan.


    This was also the question they wanted to know.


    Lin Tian had rushed through the seventeenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda. He was the first genius to obtain such a result after setting up the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial in Qingzhou.


    Normally speaking, after passing the 17th floor, one would have passed. Naturally, they would have passed the 16th floor.


    However, one had to know that the guardians of the sixteenth floor were nightmares. Nightmares were born with the ability to set up illusions, causing one to become addicted to them.


    If the mental suppression caused by this ancient bell was too great, it would have a similar effect. He would let everyone''s thoughts deep within their hearts to be exposed.


    Thus, after reaching the 200th step, the effects of the illusions were almost the same.


    But now, this Lin Tian had obviously been immersed in an illusion and was unable to recover for a long time ¡­


    However, this made everyone even more puzzled. Lin Tian could even break through the illusion created by the nightmares in the Exquisite Pagoda. How could he be submerged in this illusion for a long time without being able to come out?


    Could it be that everything from before was just an empty title, or perhaps Lin Tian was not as talented as he had imagined?

 C292 Lin tians limit

    However, just as everyone was wondering, Lin Tian''s body suddenly moved.


    He was not immersed in the illusion. In fact, Lin Tian had already known that this was an illusion the moment Lu Wushuang had appeared.


    However, he hadn''t thought that the second round of exams would also be within the illusions.


    Of course, he also knew that this was because of the spiritual pressure from the ancient bell, which was the reason why such a situation occurred.


    However, even though he knew that this was an illusion, he wasn''t in a hurry to break through the illusion. With Lin Tian''s mental strength, breaking through the illusion wasn''t anything difficult, but he wasn''t willing to do that. At least, temporarily, he wasn''t willing to do that.


    He could only see his parents in the illusion world, and could only see Yun Huang and Uncle Yu in the illusion world.


    Furthermore, in the illusion world, he could see that even Yun Huang was pregnant with him ¡­


    As such, Lin Tian was immersed within that dreamscape, unwilling to walk out on his own.


    He wanted to keep those moments of beauty, if only for a moment.


    However, he had already seen it all.


    It is time to understand ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. He suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Break for me ¡­."


    In an instant, all the scenes, in that instant, disappeared.


    Her father and mother, as well as Yun Feng, Uncle Yu, her master, Xiao Yunhai, and Hua Ruyi, all of them had disappeared in an instant.


    The last image was of his mother''s miserable smile, his father''s stern face, Uncle Yu''s reluctance to part, Yun Huang''s teary face, Hua Ruyi''s bitter face, Xiao Yunhai''s puzzled face ¡­


    However, at that moment, everything had disappeared.


    Lin Tian''s eyes regained their clarity.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also didn''t hesitate.


    The whirlpool in his dantian quickly rotated, providing an unending stream of elemental energy to Lin Tian. The golden core in his body was currently also rapidly revolving, adjusting Lin Tian''s physical strength to its best.


    The magnetic field of this ancient bell had increased by more than a hundred times when it reached the 200th step.


    Even if it was Lin Tian''s trump card, or even if his physical body''s strength was unparalleled, he still didn''t dare to underestimate it.


    Thus, at this moment, he adjusted the strength of his entire body to its maximum so as to avoid any problems.


    The Primordial Dragon Rune within his Divine Palace was currently also constantly emitting powerful rays of light, tightly protecting Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and soul.


    Within his soul, the pressure that he felt from the Mental Energy immediately became much weaker.


    Lin Tian''s current speed had also increased.


    In the blink of an eye, he had already walked ten steps. In those ten steps, Lin Tian once again surpassed the geniuses he surpassed before.


    Everyone looked at Lin Tian in disbelief, and then said with shock in their hearts: "What, what exactly is this monster? "He actually took ten steps in the blink of an eye ¡­"


    Actually, what the crowd was shocked about was not Lin Tian being able to reach step 210, but Lin Tian''s speed. Just now, Lin Tian''s speed could completely be considered as flying.


    That''s right, he was moving as if he were flying. In a short blink of an eye, he had taken ten steps. This kind of existence was truly monstrous.


    Of course, Lin Tian''s actions immediately attracted everyone''s attention. Even the directors who were watching the second round of the assessment from the VIP seats didn''t dare to say anything.


    Previously, Jian Chi said that Lin Tian could only last 180 steps, but reality proved that Lin Tian''s potential was far more than that. Lin Tian almost easily walked to the 180th step and didn''t even have time to catch his breath, and just now, when Lin Tian was immersed in the illusion, no one thought too highly of Lin Tian. But, Lin Tian once again used his actions to prove that he wasn''t immersed in the illusion.


    Moreover, in the short span of a few breaths, Lin Tian once again took ten steps forward and arrived at the 210th step ¡­


    From the looks of it, Lin Tian absolutely could not be underestimated.


    At this time, Su Tian had already reached the 220th step.


    Seeing Lin Tian, in the blink of an eye, he had taken ten steps forward, causing the pressure on Su Tian to multiply ¡­


    But very quickly, Lin Tian shocked the crowd once again.


    Lin Tian''s figure moved again. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up to Su Tian and similarly arrived at the 220th step.


    This situation shocked everyone once again.


    However, Lin Tian''s goal was clearly not limited to just this.


    In the next moment, tomorrow''s figure moved once again. Another ten steps.


    In an instant, Lin Tian had already arrived at the 230th step.


    At this time, Lin Tian had already left everyone far behind him.


    Everyone could only look at Lin Tian''s back, as if they couldn''t even catch up to him ¡­


    However, Lin Tian did not care about what the others thought.


    He rushed forward again.


    This time around, there were no exceptions as he similarly advanced another ten steps.


    Step 240.


    It was also at this time that the nearly hundred years of history of the Azure Province Academy had been rewritten by Lin Tian.


    At one time, Ji Fang Ge''s best record was to walk to the 237th step, but right now, Lin Tian was already at the 240th step. He had already surpassed Ji Fang Ge and became the first genius to reach the 240th step in the past few hundred years of the Azure Province.


    But obviously, that was not Lin Tian''s limit. Lin Tian paused for a bit, then his figure moved again. In the next moment, Lin Tian arrived at the 250th step.


    From the establishment of the Azure Province Academy, the best record was: two hundred and eighty steps, a difference of only thirty steps. But from the looks of it, it was very possible that Lin Tian had broken this record.


    At this time, no matter if it was the people in the VIP seats, or the students who were also going to participate in the second round of the exam with Lin Tian, all of their gazes were focused on Lin Tian. They wanted to know where Lin Tian''s limit was.


    Lin Tian did not let down everyone''s expectations. In the next moment, his body moved again. This time, there was not a single exception. Lin Tian arrived at the 260th step.


    Every time, Lin Tian would advance ten steps and that also became everyone''s expectation.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s figure moved again and he advanced another ten steps. At this time, Lin Tian had already caught up to the best record since the establishment of the Azure Province, two hundred and eighty steps.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were all focused on Lin Tian. They all knew that even if Lin Tian took another step forward, he had already set a new record, and from the looks of it now, this was still far from reaching Lin Tian''s limit ¡­


    Lin Tian''s face was currently not red. He did not breathe, and even had a calm face. Everyone could feel that the further Lin Tian went, the faster he moved.


    The last ten steps were completed in the blink of an eye ¡­

 C293 Ancient bell chime again

    However, the current Lin Tian still stood in his original position for a long time and didn''t take another step forward.


    However, everyone''s eyes were all focused on Lin Tian. They all wanted to see if Lin Tian could really break the record that had been there for over a thousand years ¡­ ¡­


    However, the current Lin Tian disappointed everyone because he was always at the 280th step. After waiting for the time it took an incense stick to burn, Lin Tian''s body did not move. Lin Tian was just like when he was immersed in an illusion.


    No one knew what Lin Tian was doing. Just by looking at his expression, it was clear that he hadn''t reached his limit yet ¡­


    But he, why is he ¡­ Stopped where he was?


    The people in the VIP seats all felt pity. They all felt that it was too much of a pity that Lin Tian had given up.


    But the people who understood Lin Tian didn''t have any expression on their faces. Although they didn''t know what Lin Tian wanted to do?


    But they were absolutely clear that Lin Tian would never give up.


    After waiting for who knows how long, Lin Tian''s body moved again, and this time, Lin Tian did not only walk forward ten steps, but twenty steps!


    That''s right, it was twenty steps!


    Lin Tian''s figure was fast to the extreme. Almost no one could clearly see how Lin Tian did it, but Lin Tian had already done it.


    In an instant, twenty steps.


    Lin Tian''s body had already arrived at the end of the arena. From beginning to end, there were only three hundred steps in the entire arena. Lin Tian was just perfect at this time, reaching three hundred steps. A new record had been born!


    Lin Tian had done it.


    Three hundred steps. This was the first time in the history of the Azure Province that an existence had reached three hundred steps under the examination of an ancient bell.


    At this time, Jian Chi, who was seated in the VIP seats, had a surprised look in his eyes. He shouted in disbelief, "This ¡­ How is that possible? How could he have reached the three hundredth step? "


    Su Qiu Shui and Wang Zhan also looked at Lin Tian with a face full of amazement. They never would have thought that Lin Tian would actually be able to walk to the 300th step. This was the only existence in the Azure Province that could do that ¡­


    However, everyone''s shock did not last for long. This was because not long later, the ancient bell, which was originally in the middle of the arena, suddenly shone brightly. After which, a golden light suddenly appeared from the ancient bell and completely enveloped Lin Tian.


    At the same time, the ancient bell once again rang. The ancient bell once again rang out, resounding through the clouds.


    In an instant, the entire arena and the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range emitted a series of "dong dong dong" sounds.


    At this moment, the Azure Province Academy and the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range were completely bustling with noise and excitement.


    A new heaven''s pride level expert slowly rose. After this battle, Lin Tian''s name would definitely resound throughout the entire Five Great Academies. From today onwards, Lin Tian would no longer be the pride of the Azure Province Academy, but the pride of the entire Tian Luo Kingdom ¡­


    The smile on the king''s face could not be concealed no matter what. Gu Qingyuan was also like this. They never would have thought that Lin Tian would actually be able to break through. The history of the Azure Province had already stopped for over a thousand years ¡­


    Three hundred steps ¡­ .Not only that, Lin Tian had even disturbed the ancient bell, causing it to ring once more. This was the second time that the ancient bell had sounded for Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­


    When the ancient bell rang, it basically meant that the talent''s achievements were not bad. It was even possible that he would become the future pillar of Tian Luo Kingdom, or even a supreme expert.


    After all, the white-robed saint had only reached the 237 step. No one doubted the future achievements that Ji Cangge would achieve.


    Now that there was someone more outstanding than Ji Fang, how could they not be happy?


    At this moment, after such a situation occurred, even the person in charge of the second round of the examination, Nangong Shi, was dumbfounded.


    He never would have thought that Lin Tian was a genius to such an extent ¡­.


    The first two rounds of the Freshmen Rites were an examination of one''s strength, disposition, ability to react at will, strength of the soul, and physical strength.


    In the first round, everyone entered the Withering Bloom Swamp and set up a strength restriction. This was very simple, it was to test the mentality and strength of the students, including, under the strength restriction, the ability to react freely when facing powerful experts ¡­


    The second round of examinations was rather simple and crude. Using the unique magnetic field formed by the ancient bell, it tested the student''s soul''s endurance and also their physical strength ¡­


    The purpose of these two rounds of examinations was nothing more than to assess the potential of these students.


    Being weak isn''t scary, because as long as you train hard, you can become a peerless expert of your generation ¡­


    What could be worked on the day after tomorrow was not the key factor restricting the growth of a student. Rather, it was the foundation of a martial cultivator, which was also his talent.


    If a person''s potential was not good enough, then no matter how much effort they put in, it was very likely that they would be able to achieve twice the results.


    Potential was the most important factor for a student.


    This was also why both Gu Qingyuan and the king had such high expectations for Lin Tian.


    The reason was simple, it was because Lin Tian''s potential was unparalleled. Lin Tian had the potential to become a peerless expert ¡­.


    When the ancient bell suddenly rang, Zhou Tian Xing, Zhang Wu Ya, and Yang Qing Tian, who were still searching for the Vampiric Demonic Vine, quickly gathered together.


    "Have you found it?" Seeing Yang Qingtian and Zhang Taixu, Zhou Tian Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    "Where do you think you''re going? I''ve searched the entire area that I''m in charge of, but I couldn''t find any traces of the Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­" Yang Qingtian could not help but complain.


    The two of them looked at Zhang Wuya once again. Zhang Wuya also shook his head slightly.


    The three of them had been searching this area for a long time, but they still hadn''t found any traces of the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    "But did you hear that just now?" Zhang Wuya suddenly asked.


    "Hear what?" Zhou Tian Xing was slightly startled ¡­


    "The Eternal Bell has rung again ¡­" Zhang Wuya said softly, "I think the few of us have also seen this Eternal Bell quite a few times. But before this, no matter what time it was, during the second round of the examination, this Eternal Bell would never ring again. Even Ji Fang Ge was the same ¡­ "Why, this time, the Eternal Bell has rung?"


    After Zhang Wuya said this, the three of them fell into silence ¡­

 C294 Ive run into lin kuang

    At this moment, everyone was completely shocked.


    Three hundred steps. Lin Tian broke the record of the Azure Province Academy and became the only student that could achieve perfection in the second round of the assessment.


    Of course, this also meant that Lin Tian''s mental strength and physical body were almost all top grade.


    Adding on Lin Tian''s performance in the first round, Lin Tian had already thoroughly conquered everyone.


    Previously, Jian Chi still had some doubts towards Lin Tian. Su Qiu Shui, Wang Zhan, Luo Tian Nan, and the others no longer dared to look down on him.


    Lin Tian being able to alarm the ancient bell once again was enough to prove everything.


    The Eternal Bell and the Exquisite Pagoda were both treasures of the Northern Courtyard. One of the most important uses was that they could test the potential of a student.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian''s successful attempt at reaching the seventeenth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda had caused the ancient bell to ring, startling the heads of the other four academies.


    This time, Lin Tian took three hundred steps and once again the ancient bell once again rang out.


    At the same time, Zhou Tianzheng, Yang Qingtian, and Zhang Wuya walked out of the Withering Bloom Swamp one after the other. At the same time, Zhou Tianzheng, Yang Qingtian, and Zhang Wuya walked out of the Withering Blooming Swamp one after the other.


    After all, it was the number one baneful creature of the ancient era, the Vampiric Demonic Vine. Once it was not properly dealt with, it would be much more terrifying than thousands or tens of thousands of Blood Demon Sect disciples ¡­


    The three of us first came before the king and reported to him, "Reporting to the king, the three of us searched the entire Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, but we didn''t find any traces of that Vampiric Demonic Vine ¡­"


    "Hmm?" The king was stunned for a moment. He couldn''t help but wonder, how could that Vampiric Demonic Vine disappear without a trace in an instant?


    Gu Qingyuan also frowned. He felt that something was amiss, but he still didn''t know what was amiss.


    "If you can''t find it now, then keep looking for it. If you find any trace of the Vampiric Demonic Vine, report it immediately!" The king coldly snorted as he spoke to the three of them.


    "Yes sir!" The three of them bitterly laughed and replied in unison.


    The bad impression he''d left on the king this time would likely never be dispelled in the near future.


    The king pointed to the arena and said to the three of them, "I believe that the second round of the examination is about to end. Who is in charge of the third round of examination, hurry up and continue ¡­"


    The three of them immediately walked towards the arena.


    At this moment, the second round of exams was basically over.


    Lin Tian was too monstrous and directly reached three hundred steps. Without a doubt, he became number one.


    As for the others, they had all reached their limits one after another.


    Su Tian''s physical body was unparalleled, and his soul bearing ability far surpassed others.


    However, he only walked to the 230th step and finally stopped. This was because he had already reached his limit, unable to take another step forward.


    Su Tian simply gave up.


    As for Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng, they too began to move forward. 220 steps. 218 steps. 215 steps.


    He followed closely behind Su Tian.


    As for the other dozen or so people, they all stopped in their tracks before the 210th step.


    This was because there were only a few dozen people that had reached the 200 step stage and above.


    As for the others, they had all stopped their footsteps 200 steps ago.


    This was the end of the second round of exams.


    After the Nangong Technique retrieved the Eternal Bell, the pressure surrounding the stage instantly disappeared without a trace.


    The third round of examination is about to begin ¡­


    Yang Qingtian and Zhang Wuya both went up the stage.


    The Freshmen Rites this time had originally been divided into three rounds.


    The first round was a test of the student''s reaction speed and battle prowess under the restriction of strength.


    The second round of the examination was to assess the students'' mental strength and physical body strength.


    The third round of the assessment was a test of the true combat strength of all the students. It was time to compete in strength.


    "Next up, it''s time for a battle of strength. No matter how serious or hardworking your cultivation is, no matter how outstanding your performance in the first or second round is, it will always fall to the final battle."


    "If your battle prowess is lacking and you cannot defeat your opponent in battle, then you will never be considered as a true expert!"


    Yang Qingtian said to everyone.


    At this moment, Zhang Wuya started to recite the names of all the students.


    The names he recited were all the students who could enter the third round of battles ¡­


    Because, based on the performance of the first two rounds, some students do not even have the qualifications to enter the third round ¡­


    However, because of the appearance of the Vampiric Demonic Vine in the first round, all the students that used the identity plate to teleport out were considered to be qualified.


    But the second round won''t do. The second round has a clear requirement. The students who can''t persevere past the 100th step won''t be able to enter the third round ¡­


    As a result, the first two rounds had eliminated twenty to thirty people.


    On the other hand, there were only fifty students who could make it to the third round.


    Soon, Zhang Wuya announced the rules of the third round of examination.


    The first round would be the elimination round.


    The rules of the elimination round was a free-for-all.


    At this moment, there were ten circles of varying sizes on the previously established large stage. Within each circle, there were five or six people entering.


    Since there were less than sixty of them in total, there were only five in some circles.


    Once these people entered the circle, the battle would begin.


    No matter what the process was like, there would only be one result.


    It was that in these circles, there could only be one person left.


    No matter if it was five or six people, only one person remained.


    This person would be able to enter the next round.


    Therefore, the rules of the first round of eliminations were quite cruel.


    The five options would be a fierce battle no matter what.


    Of course, in order to ensure fairness, the first round of the elimination round would naturally have to choose the positions and order through lots.


    Upon hearing that Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er had to decide the order by drawing lots, they all prayed, "Don''t ever encounter a Berserk Demon, don''t ever encounter a Berserk Demon ¡­"


    None of them wanted to touch Lin Tian. Although with Lin Kuang being present, it was basically impossible for them to compete for the top spot in the Freshmen Rankings, but none of them wanted to be eliminated in the first round. If they were to meet Lin Kuang at the start of the competition, who else could they choose?


    Soon, everyone finished drawing their lots. Then, each of them looked for their own circle and walked in.


    He didn''t know if Fang Xing and the rest''s prayers had really helped, but Lin Tian wasn''t even in the same group as them.


    Lin Tian arrived at the seventh circle.


    At the same time, all the students who had drawn the number "7", one after another, came to Lin Tian''s side.


    They were also in the same circle.


    Lin TianAo pondered for a moment. In his circle, other than him, there were five other people. In other words, there were six other people in his circle.


    "It''s about to be extra ¡­" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth curled into a faint smile.


    However, the other students were a little dumbfounded. This luck was really bad for their grandma, they actually bumped into this mad demon ¡­


    It turned out that the name "Lin Tianlin''s Berserk Demon" was not just spread throughout the Northern Courtyard. By now, the other three branch academies in East and South had already heard of this "Lin Kuang Devil" name ¡­

 C295 The proclamation of azure sky shook

    Following Yang Qingtian''s order, the great battle began in all the circles.


    "Lin Tian, although you''re very strong, I definitely won''t directly admit defeat. I ¡­" A student beside Lin Tian was about to say something.


    But before he could finish, everyone heard a "peng" sound. That student was directly sent flying out of the arena by Lin Tian''s punch.


    "You guys, do you want me to send you down, or do you want me to obediently go down?" Lin Tian indifferently squinted at the others and then asked.


    The rest of them quickly exchanged glances before one of them said, "We don''t need you to do anything. We''ll leave by ourselves ¡­"


    Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head and then quietly watched the other four''s movements.


    Those four people were currently retreating one step at a time. However, just as they were one step away from reaching that circle, they stopped in their tracks in that instant.


    But in the next moment, the four of them suddenly exploded forward and each one of them quickly rushed at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian seemed to have already expected this. At this moment, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled into a strange smile.


    If they really followed his orders and left the circle, then it would be a surprise to Lin Tian, but their reaction wasn''t one bit surprising to Lin Tian.


    That''s more like it!


    For the previous expert, there was only one way to advance, and that was to group up against him and eliminate the strongest one. After that, it would be their turn to fight. At that time, it would be relatively easier.


    This kind of thinking was indeed good, yes, but their wishful thinking would likely end in failure.


    The reason was very simple, they had met Lin Tian ¡­


    These four people, including the student who was punched by Lin Tian just now, were only around the third level of the Aurous Core stage. It was basically impossible for them to defeat Lin Tian with this kind of strength.


    Because Lin Tian was at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage. Not to mention the four of them, even if all the students combined, they still wouldn''t be Lin Tian''s match.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s figure suddenly exploded forth. The strength of the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage completely exploded out at that instant.


    "Bang, bang, bang ¡­" With these three sounds, those students were directly sent out of the circle by Lin Tian.


    Actually, when Lin Tian revealed his strength at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, those students felt that something wasn''t right. However, it was already too late to feel that something wasn''t right.


    However, from start to finish, Lin Tian did not attack viciously.


    Although they were kicked out of the circle, they were not injured at all ¡­


    The first person to advance into the seventh circle was Lin Tian.


    At the same time, the rest of the groups also had their own results. Gu Yan''er had also successfully advanced, because after she made her move, all the students felt their heads become dizzy, without a trace of strength. In this way, Gu Yan''er was able to advance without much effort.


    Fang Xing had spent quite a bit of time, but he had managed to advance in the end.


    As for Du Feng, there were some risks, but he was able to successfully advance in the end ¡­


    After all, to Du Feng, his Heaven''s Path Body didn''t suit him well. If he were to fight, it would be too difficult for him to win.


    However, Du Feng had to properly thank Lin Tian, because the last time Lin Tian trained for them, he still achieved the desired result.


    Su Tian''s advancement was within his expectations. However, Su Tian''s luck was not very good as he had encountered several powerful experts. Even Wang Tiangang had been placed in the same circle as Su Tian.


    Thus, Su Tian spent a long time to finally obtain victory!


    When the third round of the battle began, a group of students suddenly appeared.


    These people were no other than the one hundred students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    The Freshmen Rankings was now in its third round, and once the third round ended, it would be the Clear Sky Challenge Competition.


    This was to give these new students a chance. If they could successfully challenge the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, then they could successfully be ranked on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    They were now seated on the spectating platform around the arena.


    Ji Fang Ge was currently looking at the stage with interest. Lin Tian''s gaze coincidentally fell on Ji Fang Ge''s body as well.


    The two of them looked at each other and smiled. However, their eyes were flickering with a fiery light.


    Before the third month, Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge had already agreed on the third month''s agreement. Now, the third month''s agreement had already arrived.


    Between him and Ji Fang Ge, there would definitely be a fierce battle going on!


    With the arrival of these students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, it didn''t take long for those seniors to arrive as well.


    It turned out that before, when Lin Tian and the others were having the Freshmen Rite, the seniors had also gone through an assessment in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Now, they had already completed the assessment and had also challenged the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Thus, the rankings of the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky had rapidly changed. At this moment, many of the older students had already charged onto the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Seeing the arrival of the two groups of students, the king smiled at the people around him and said, "Looks like this time, the changes on the Proclamation of Azure Sky are quite big. That brat Ji Fangge is already in third place ¡­"


    At this moment, Ji Fangge was already ranked # 3 on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. His previous ranking was only at # 10 on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Of course, that was only two years ago.


    Even the genius from the East Branch who possessed the Black Tortoise bloodline, the person who fought with Lin Tian before, Wang Tian Fang, was now in seventh place!


    Seventh place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Back then, he was only a little more than twenty. With this, his ranking had improved by a dozen or so places.


    "Yeah, the Proclamation of Azure Sky is shaking. I think the ranking on the Hidden Dragon Rank will also change rapidly ¡­" Luo Tiannan also spoke up.


    The Hidden Dragon Ranking was a list that included the geniuses of the Five Great Academies. The students at the top of the Proclamation of Azure Sky would definitely be able to enter the Hidden Dragon Ranking.


    Thus, the change in the Proclamation of Azure Sky was extremely huge, and thus would affect the ranking of the Hidden Dragon Rank.


    "Lord Luo Tian, what do you think of Ji Fang Ge?" As he said this, Luo Tiannan turned around and asked a young man behind him.


    "Ji Fang Ge is very strong, but even if I were to face him, I would not be afraid of him. Between him and I, there should be about fifty percent, but Ji Fang Ge''s strength is so great that he has yet to enter the first place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, which surprised me a little. I think that Ji Fang Ge is still hiding his strength ¡­" The young man called Luo Tian Jun said indifferently.


    "Oh, then what about that brat called Lin Tian?" When Lord Luo Tian said this, the king''s interest was piqued, and he asked directly.


    "That brat, is only at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage. Against me, he was defeated in one move ¡­" Luo Tian Jun said coldly.


    "Oh? Defeat in one move?" The king''s interest was piqued and he asked again, "But he walked the three hundred steps record in the second round of exams and even triggered that ancient bell ring!"


    "Royal brother, it''s useless. These things, in front of absolute strength, are all useless!" Ye Xiao spoke blandly.


    This Luo Tiannan was the number one genius of the Royal Academy, and also the youngest brother of the king and that Luo Tiannan.


    That''s why the king called the king''s brother ¡­


    The king shook his head and did not say anything. This little brother of his was a monstrous genius with high expectations. Unless he saw the real deal, he would not believe in Lin Tian''s strength at all.

 C296 Reencounter su tian

    At the same time, the same situation happened to Jian Chi, Su Qiu Shui, and Wang Zhan.


    Actually, after the news of the start of the competition spread out in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, other than the Qing Province Academy, the other four academies had already begun their battles in order to select the experts who would be able to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    The Luo Tianjun who spoke just now was the number one of the Imperial Academy''s competition. He had already obtained the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Mystic Realm, and this time, Luo Tiannan brought him here to experience the competition of the Azure Province Academy.


    The top student of the academy, the top student of the Misty Academy, and the head student of the Tiger Wolf Camp had all been brought here by these three people.


    Of course, this time, even the king has brought the First and Ninth Prince with him ¡­


    "Su Xiao, what do you think about that boy called Lin Tian?" The sword fanatic asked a youth behind him.


    "Master, do you want me to tell you the truth? Or are you just lying?" The youth called Su Xiao hesitated for a moment before asking.


    "Of course it''s the truth." Jian Chi snappily said. Then, he gulped down a large mouthful of wine.


    "If it''s the truth, then this brat will not be able to escape from my hands in a single move ¡­" Su Xiao said with a slightly cold expression.


    "Oh, you''re so confident. Are you sure you can kill it in an instant?" The sword fanatic was stunned for a moment before he asked.


    "It''s not that I have confidence in myself, it''s that I have confidence in my master. The disciples that my master taught should be able to do it ¡­" Su Xiao said indifferently.


    "You brat, you don''t have to kiss my ass. The reason why you''re able to become the top student in my academy is all because of your own achievements. It has nothing to do with an old man like me ¡­" Although the tone of the sword fanatic sounded like he was reprimanding Jian Chi, there was still a smile on his face.


    In fact, I also think that kid is not that scary, but the king came this time for the sake of this kid. Also, this kid, I have to admit, he is indeed very outstanding, he has been able to trigger the ancient bell sound from the previous two times, it''s just that this kid''s strength is a little too weak, it''s still a little too early. If we give this kid a few more years time, this brat will definitely be able to grow up, at that time, even if he isn''t your opponent, he will definitely be able to enter the top of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. The sword fanatic commented.


    "Yes." Su Xiao nodded his head. He did not deny Lin Tian''s potential, but against the top geniuses of the Five Great Academies, Lin Tian was still too weak ¡­.


    "Ruoxi, what do you think about that Lin Tian?" Su Qiu Shui asked a woman behind her.


    "Master, in the Azure Province Academy, the only student that I approve of is Ji Fang Ge. However, how did Ji Fang Ge only enter third place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky? He hasn''t even become first ¡­" The woman called Ruoxi replied to Su Qiu Shui.


    However, Su Qiu Shui asked him what he thought of Lin Tian, but she replied with Ji Fang Ge. However, this also showed her attitude, Lin Tian was not taken seriously by her, even though Lin Tian''s performance in the first two rounds was dazzling, but in the eyes of these top experts of the Five Great Academies, Lin Tian was not worth it for them to take seriously ¡­


    "I think that this kid is extraordinary. We can''t let his guard down ¡­" Hearing Ruoxi''s words, Su Qiu Shui did not say much and only sighed.


    Ruoxi did not make a sound, she did not know if she listened to Su Qiu Shui''s words or not ¡­


    "Little Wolf, what do you think of that Lin Tian?" At this moment, Wang Zhan of the Tigerwolf Battalion also asked a youth behind him.


    "He isn''t worthy for me to do anything ¡­" The youth called Little Wolf was extremely cold, and there was not the slightest trace of emotion in his tone.


    "Hehe, then who do you think is your match, Ji Fang Ge?" Wang Zhan''s interest was piqued and he asked again.


    "Ji Fangge, if I were to go all out, I would definitely be able to kill him ¡­" Wolf said again.


    Wang Zhan''s interest was piqued. He then asked, "Then what about Luo Tian Jun, Jiang Ruoxi, and Su Xiao?"


    "Su Xiao is trash. Allheaven is tyrannical because of his cultivation technique, and Jiang Ruoxi is just a woman. I never felt that it was a glorious thing to be together with a woman, so to me, the so-called top five academies are all just for show. If they were placed in front of me, I could kill them all!" The wolf cub scoffed, obviously not happy with these so-called geniuses.


    "..." Wang Zhan didn''t know what to say.


    Should she praise his confidence, or should she say that he did not know his limits?


    However, the wolf cub still had a powerful trump card. He was not surprised by the way the wolf cub said these words.


    Lin Tian didn''t know that he had already been evaluated once by all the students of the Five Great Academies. Moreover, all the geniuses were somewhat disdainful towards him.


    Of course, even if Lin Tian knew, he wouldn''t have any reaction.


    Facing such contempt, Lin Tian didn''t know how many times he had heard, but in the end, he still had to speak with strength. Only by having enough strength could he explain everything, otherwise, whatever they said wouldn''t count.


    Soon, the first round of eliminations ended.


    Next, was the second round of the knockout stage.


    Ten people against two.


    Out of the five people that were eliminated, five were left behind to fight for the top position in the Freshmen Rites ¡­


    Soon, the ten of them once again drew their lots.


    "Number one!" Yang Qingtian, who was in charge of hosting the competition, spoke out to the crowd once again.


    Lin Tian looked at the signature in his hand, then walked straight up the stage.


    Yes, he was Number One.


    However, when he saw his opponent, Lin Tian was stunned. His opponent was also stunned.


    Su Tian!


    That''s right, Lin Tian had once again met Su Tian.


    In the Qingyun Trials before, Lin Tian and Su Tian had an unparalleled great battle. Of course, in the end, it was Lin Tian who won and ended it.


    Su Tian also did not think that his opponent in the second round of knockout would be Lin Tian.


    Upon seeing Lin Tian, Su Tian''s mouth twitched.


    In his heart, he was actually somewhat aggrieved because from the beginning to the end, Lin Tian seemed to have become a nightmare that he could not get rid of. Before, he had never received a blow, but after meeting Lin Tian, he had always been in a state of continuous attack.


    First, he suffered a great loss to Lin Tian during the Qingyun Trials. After that, he lived in the shadows.


    Of course, that time, Lin Tian once again released his own light. Even if it was Su Tian who killed countless monsters, no one noticed.


    Furthermore, during the second round of the assessment, he had walked two hundred and thirty steps, which was only seven steps away from the two hundred thirty-seven steps recorded by Ji Fang Ge. If there was no Lin Tian, then the one who would shine in the second round of the assessment would be him.


    But he failed again. Lin Tian had walked three hundred steps forward and even caused the ancient bell to chime.


    He was once again enveloped in Lin Tian''s shadow, no one would notice his existence ¡­

 C297 You are invincible in the world

    Lin Tian did not pay attention to Su Tian''s sullen expression and faintly smiled: "Whether you admit defeat yourself or get blown up by me again, you have to choose between these two choices ¡­ ¡­"


    "Do you really think you''re invincible?" Su Tian was originally somewhat conflicted, but after hearing Lin Tian''s words, he immediately exploded.


    He could no longer control the anger in his heart. It had already been three months since the last battle.


    In these three months, he, Su Tian, constantly trained at every moment. He did not believe that after these three months of bitter cultivation, in the end, he would still be defeated by Lin Tian?


    He did not believe that Lin Tian could be that strong.


    When he thought of this, a strong confidence surged up from Su Tian''s heart. In the next moment, he used all of the strength in his body.


    Seeing Su Tian''s change, Lin Tian Deng immediately understood Su Tian''s meaning.


    "Looks like you have already made your choice ¡­" He then smiled at Su Tian: "That''s right, just now you said that I thought I was unrivalled under the heavens, I should correct your words, not invincible under the heavens, I am not that crazy yet, I am just unrivalled within the Azure Province, or, you say I am invincible under the heavens, I can accept that, because, this is a fact ¡­."


    "Ah, this brat is not modest at all ¡­" Yang Qingtian was the referee responsible for judging their match. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, he immediately became happy.


    Lin Tian''s voice was actually not very loud, but everyone present was a martial cultivator. Moreover, the key point was that this place was abnormally quiet. Only the two of them could be heard, so everyone could naturally hear it clearly.


    "Interesting." When the king heard Lin Tian''s words, he also laughed out loud. He didn''t think that Lin Tian was just boasting ¡­.


    However, Gu Qingyuan had no reaction.


    On the other hand, the boys and girls behind Su Qiu Shui, Wang Zhan, Luo Tian Nan, and the sword fanatic scoffed.


    Su Xiao coldly snorted, "Bullsh * t."


    Jiang Ruoxi smiled coldly, "A thick-skinned man, he''s truly unrivalled in Tian Luo ¡­"


    "Bullsh * t, even the Tian Luo is invincible ¡­" The sneer in Luo Tian Jun''s eyes became more and more obvious.


    "If you are in my Tiger Wolf Camp, you probably won''t live more than a day... "No, two hours ¡­" The wolf cub also smiled, but his eyes were full of bloodlust.


    However, Ji Fang Ge smiled and said softly, "You have not defeated me yet. How come you are invincible within the Azure Province Academy and invincible in Tian Luo ¡­"


    Ji Fang''s voice also reached Lin Tian''s ears.


    Lin Tian turned around and smiled: "It''ll happen sooner or later ¡­ ¡­"


    However, Ji Fangge did not say much. On the other hand, the Eastern Courtyard genius, Wang Tianyuan, had a complicated expression on his face.


    However, the other seniors of the Azure Province Academy, and even some of the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, did not say a word or laugh.


    What a joke, who was that standing on the stage?


    This was the Lin Kuang Devil!


    Who would dare spout nonsense, Lin Kuang would probably be able to beat them until they submitted ¡­


    Su Tian did not continue with the nonsense. He knew that continuing with the nonsense would not be of any use. It would be better to see the real deal ¡­


    "Roar!" Su Tian furiously roared.


    In the next moment, with a bang, the clothes on Su Tian''s upper body exploded.


    After the clothes were torn apart, it revealed extremely vigorous and extremely scarred muscles ¡­


    Such muscles seemed to be brimming with power.


    Seeing Su Tian''s change, everyone was surprised. With such strength, Su Tian had already far surpassed most of the older students present.


    He could even rely on his strength to charge up the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and his ranking wouldn''t be too low ¡­


    Even the geniuses with high eyes were looking at Su Tian with astonishment.


    It was very obvious that they could see that this Su Tian was definitely not that simple. His body muscles were enough to prove that he was a specialized body refinement expert. Furthermore, he had trained this body since he was young.


    Although they did not think that Su Tian was their opponent, but thinking about it, suppressing Lin Tian who only knew how to boast was more than enough.


    "Roar!" Su Tian did not finish. Instead, he roared once again.


    In the blink of an eye, the demonic roar filled every corner of the arena.


    At the same time, something strange happened again.


    At this moment, Su Tian''s body was actually getting taller bit by bit. It was clear that Su Tian was still growing ¡­


    Everyone looked at Su Tian in surprise.


    However, Su Tian did not stop his transformation. In the next moment, he once again shouted out.


    "Roar!"


    Su Tian''s body once again grew taller. At this time, Su Tian''s body had already grown to the height of three people.


    He looked like a giant.


    At this time, no matter who it was, everyone was looking at Su Tian in shock.


    Even the geniuses with high eyes looked at Su Tian in shock.


    To them, Su Tian was indeed not able to enter their eyes just now. However, right now, he had successfully entered their line of sight.


    They estimated in their hearts that even if they were to fight against the current Su Tian, it would be difficult for them to defeat him in just a few short moves.


    "Why are you using this move again?" Lin Tian watched Su Tian''s current actions coldly from the side. He could not help but retort: "You don''t have any other moves? If it was still this move, then you would be destined to be blown away by me ¡­ ¡­"


    "Don''t boast. I want to see just how much you have improved in these three months ¡­" Su Tian''s body changed and even his voice became muffled ¡­


    "Alright, let''s cut the crap. Make your move ¡­" Lin Tian replied indifferently.


    "Humph! Boy, come and die for me!" Su Tian did not hesitate at all and directly pounced towards Lin Tian.


    His body abruptly charged towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian gently loosened his muscles before staring at Su Tian pouncing towards him.


    "This braggart must have been scared silly, right? He''s actually not moving at all?" Su Xiao sneered.


    "Hmm, I''ve seen many of these kind of people..." Luo Tian Jun added.


    But, just as Su Tian was about to reach him, Lin Tian suddenly moved.


    "What does he want? Do you want to go head to head against me? " At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi cried out in alarm.


    That''s right, at this time, Lin Tian had adjusted the strength of his entire body to its best, and then he had actually charged straight towards Su Tian!


    Without any other methods, Lin Tian actually also wanted to use his own physical body''s power!

 C298 One second

    "Hehe, you really want to meet force with force ¡­" The disdain on Su Xiao''s face became even more pronounced. That Su Tian was clearly relying on the power of his fleshly body to speak. With his physical body, even if Su Xiao were to fight him, he would still feel troubled.


    Was this fellow insane? He actually wanted to use the power of his own body to fight against Su Tian?


    The braggart was truly unparalleled in the world!


    Lin Tian displayed the God Transforming Steps, his speed almost reaching his limit.


    Facing Lin Tian''s display of physical strength, no matter how others ridiculed him, Su Tian didn''t dare to neglect it in the slightest.


    He knew, it wasn''t just him who had a tyrannical physical body. The Wang Tiangang he had just eliminated and the Lin Tian in front of him, were both existences with an extremely tyrannical physical body.


    But even though Su Tian was completely prepared, he also knew that Lin Tian''s physical strength was incomparably strong.


    But he still didn''t think that Lin Tian''s physical body strength was actually strong to this extent.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian''s body collided with Su Tian''s.


    The instant the two of them clashed, Su Tian was sent flying by Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, Su Tian felt as if his entire body was about to collapse. He felt as if his entire body''s flesh and blood was being squeezed, as if it was about to explode.


    But as for Lin Tian, there was nothing abnormal about him. In the next moment, Su Tian''s body was blown away.


    "Pfft!" Su Tian''s body instantly shrunk and quickly returned to the size of an ordinary person. He was no longer as tall as the two or three people from before.


    At the same time, he also violently vomited out a mouthful of blood. After spitting out blood, Su Tian finally felt much better. However, his face had already darkened to the extreme.


    He had never thought that he would not even be able to take a single blow from Lin Tian!


    That''s right, Lin Tian''s one move had instantly killed Su Tian.


    Not only that, it was in Su Tian''s most skilled physical body.


    One move.


    This move completely shocked everyone present.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Lin Tian.


    He had already seen Lin Tian''s body''s strength and terror. Also, at that time, Lin Tian''s strength was only at the first level of the Aurous Core Stage. The current Lin Tian was already an expert of the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    But like this, it also made Ji Fangge have a bit of anticipation. He looked forward to his battle with Lin Tian.


    At this moment, Wang Tian Fang had an ugly expression on his face. "How did this brat''s strength increase so fast?"


    He had personally experienced all of Lin Tian''s competitions, and the Lin Tian at that time was only at the seventh level of the Qi Hai realm. Compared to his current fifth level of the Golden Core Stage, Lin Tian had already crossed seven small realms in just a few short months.


    He, Wang Tian Fang, was only at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage back then. He had only improved three levels to reach the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    This meant that this Lin Tian was more of a monster than him ¡­.


    Moreover, the key point was that when Lin Tian was selected to be on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, he was the one who blocked it, forcing Lin Tian and he had no choice but to fight for ten moves. Of course, Lin Tian naturally succeeded, but this also caused a rift between the two of them.


    At the same time, Luo Tianxing, Su Xiao, Jiang Ruoxi, and Xiao Lang all became silent. No one said anything else.


    None of them thought that this would be the end result of the final battle.


    He shouldn''t, no matter what, he shouldn''t ¡­


    The strength of Su Tian''s fleshly body was incomparably tyrannical. Moreover, after the three roars just now, he had actually grown to the height of three people. If they were not mistaken, that Su Tian must have displayed some kind of secret technique.


    One must know that even though the four of them would definitely be able to defeat an existence like this, it would not be as terrifying as a single second ¡­


    But, this was something that they could not do, that Lin Tian had done it, and this Su Tian had actually been killed by that Lin Tian in one move?


    The four of them were stunned for a moment, but they quickly recovered.


    "It is likely that this little fellow has trained some kind of body tempering technique by himself ¡­" Su Xiao couldn''t help but ask.


    "It must be luck, luck." Allheaven wasn''t convinced either.


    Hearing the voices of his own disciples behind him, Luo Tiannan, Su Qiu Shui, Wang Zhan, and Jian Chi couldn''t help but laugh.


    They also didn''t think that this Lin Tian actually had two tricks up his sleeve. Just from the fight just now, they could see that Lin Tian''s strength was definitely much more terrifying than the strength he displayed.


    How could a genius who could cause the ancient bell to ring twice be underestimated?


    "Heavenly Monarch, what do you think?" At this moment, the king turned his head and asked the king.


    Of course, this question was still about Luo Tian Jun''s opinion of Lin Tian ¡­


    "I have to say, the strength of this boy''s body forced me to have a whole new level of respect for him. However, this is all I can do. To put it bluntly, royal brother, I still want to say the same thing. If I were to face this boy, he will be able to instantly kill me! " He sounded so confident.


    Upon hearing Luo Tian Jun''s words, Su Xiao, Jiang Ruoxi, and the little wolf all nodded.


    Although Lin Tian''s performance just now was quite stunning, to them, it was far from enough. If they were to fight against this Lin Tian, they could have completely killed him in one move.


    The strongest existence among the ants was still just an ant.


    However, an ant against an elephant, there was only one outcome, and that was to be stomped to death in an instant!


    The king only smiled and didn''t reply.


    On the other hand, Jian Chi and the others had a hint of seriousness on their faces. These geniuses had high expectations for Lin Tian and naturally did not look down on him.


    But with Lin Tian''s performance, he continuously refreshed their knowledge and let them know that this Lin Tian was far more than just this little bit of methods in his hands.


    This kid still had a trump card, so they had a premonition that this kid might give them a surprise.


    Thinking of this, their expectations for Lin Tian rose.


    Lin Tian killed Su Tian in one move and naturally leveled up first.


    At the same time, Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing also advanced.


    Just with this alone, in addition to Lin Tian, there were already four people from the Northern Courtyard who successfully advanced in the last round of the elimination round.


    This also made Yang Qingtian very happy.


    In this year''s Freshmen Rites, the top five would already have four geniuses from the Northern Courtyard.


    As for the following matches, without a doubt, it would still be the elimination rounds.


    This was already the third elimination round.


    In the first round of knock-out matches, ten people were selected from more than fifty people.


    In the second round of eliminations, five out of ten would be eliminated, while five would be chosen.


    Right now, apart from Lin Tian, Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er, there was one more person. It was naturally the genius from the Southern Courtyard, the one reputed to be a divine body, Zhang Taixu.


    Zhang Taixu possessed the "Bright Moon above the Sea" phenomenon. He was a top genius of the Southern Courtyard.


    These five people would then proceed to the third round of eliminations.


    The rules of the third round of knockout were much simpler.


    It was still two against two.


    When drawing lots amongst the five, one would be left empty-handed while the other four would fight it out in twos and twos, selecting the last three people.


    These three people would stand in the circle for the final battle. In the end, only one person remained in the circle, and that person would be number one of the Freshman Rites.


    As for the rankings of the second and third judges, it was decided by Yang Qingtian and Zhang Wuya based on the performance of the other two judges ¡­

 C299 Last war

    After introducing the rules, Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er all desperately prayed that they would draw an empty lot. He did not want to meet Lin Tian, but what they hoped was that Lin Tian would meet that Great Void.


    The drawing of lots began immediately.


    There were a total of five lots.


    They were respectively two "One" lots and two "Two" lots.


    The other one was lot three.


    Those who drew lot number three would naturally be left empty-handed. As for the rest, it was a 1v1, 2v2.


    The rules were very simple, and the drawing of lots was also very quick.


    "Number one!" Zhang Wuya suddenly shouted.


    Du Feng immediately walked out with a trace of bitterness on his face ¡­


    At the same time, Fang Xing also stepped forward.


    "You didn''t draw lot number three?" Du Feng couldn''t help but be startled when Fang Xing stepped forward.


    "Aren''t you talking nonsense? If I drew lot number three, why would I come up? Say hi to you?" Fang Xing snappily glanced at Du Feng.


    "Then who drew lot number three?" Du Feng didn''t care who his opponent was. In fact, among the other four people, three of them were their own people. No matter who he met, he wouldn''t be surprised.


    He only cared about one thing, and that was who drew number three!


    Fang Xing was also stunned. He didn''t know who had drawn lot number three, but the two turned to look at Gu Yan''er without hesitation.


    Gu Yan''er shook her head slightly.


    The two once again turned their gazes onto Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled, but he did not admit or deny it.


    At this moment, the Great Void revealed its number.


    There was a big "2" written on it.


    Upon seeing the word "two", both Fang Xing and Du Feng cursed out loud. "What the f * ck!"


    Who would have thought that in the end, Lin Tian still drew lot number three!


    Actually, when Lin Tian saw that he had drawn lot three, even Lin Tian himself was stunned.


    He even started to suspect if there was an inside story.


    However, it was clear that it was not.


    It was all luck, Lin Tian''s luck was good, no one could do anything ¡­


    Seeing this scene, Gu Yan''er also found it hard to believe. She angrily looked at Lin Tian, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do.


    "This brat''s luck, should be that Tian Luo is invincible ¡­" At this moment, Su Xiao, who was in the VIP seats, couldn''t help but sneer.


    The other geniuses also agreed.


    But at this moment, Gu Qingyuan, who hadn''t said anything all this while, finally couldn''t help but say: "Not bad, but sometimes, luck is also a type of strength ¡­"


    The others twitched their mouths, obviously not taking Gu Qingyuan''s words seriously.


    It sounded good, but in the face of absolute strength, luck was simply too insignificant.


    The battle quickly began.


    When Fang Xing fought Du Feng, Fang Xing''s cultivation was clearly higher than Du Feng''s. Moreover, Du Feng''s Heavenly Energy wasn''t very good in combat.


    Naturally, Fang Xing would be the victor of this elimination round.


    "Number 2!" Zhang Wuya spoke again.


    Gu Yan''er and Zhang Taixu immediately came to the arena.


    Zhang Wuya was the Principal of the Southern Courtyard, and this time, the only person in their Southern Courtyard entering the final round of the elimination round was Zhang Taixu. Naturally, he hoped that Zhang Taixu would enter the final round of the final round, and even hoped that Zhang Taixu would be the champion.


    Previously, he remembered that Zhang Taixu and Gu Yan''er had met in the Green Cloud preliminaries, and back then, Zhang Taixu had easily defeated Gu Yan''er. Therefore, this time, he really hoped that Zhang Taixu could directly eliminate Gu Yan''er, and from the looks of it, this was not a difficult task for Zhang Taixu.


    The battle between the two of them swiftly began.


    However, the battle this time started quickly and ended even more quickly.


    Zhang Taixu didn''t even have the time to use his'' Bright Moon above the Sea ''ability when he felt his entire body go soft. In the next moment, he fell onto the arena stage.


    Everyone was puzzled by this situation.


    How was this possible? Before the battle had even begun, this Zhang Taixu had already been defeated by Gu Yan''er?


    Even Zhang Taixu himself did not expect such a situation to occur.


    He remembered that he was able to easily defeat Gu Yan Er. Why did he do it this time around?


    Of course, he did not know that Gu Yan''er had already awakened her Woeful Poison Body. This kind of physique was extremely terrifying. Before the battle had even begun, Gu Yan''er had already placed poison energy around the surroundings of the arena.


    Her control over her poison powers had already reached a level of perfection.


    Therefore, from the moment Zhang Taixu stepped onto the arena, he had continuously inhaled the poison that Gu Yan''er had laid down, until finally, Gu Yan''er completely detonated the poison. Naturally, before Zhang Taixu could make a move, he was already defeated ¡­


    Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Lin Tian, who had all been sent flying, were naturally entering the final round of the decisive battle.


    The three of them were just like the first elimination round. They walked into that circle and engaged in a chaotic battle. The last person left in that circle was naturally the first in the Freshmen Rites.


    And this time, everyone also knew that the champion of the Freshmen Competition had the chance to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    When Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and even Lin Tian entered the circle, Gu Yan''er and Fang Xing exchanged a glance.


    Lin Tian naturally saw the small movement between the two. He lightly smiled and said: "What, the two of you want to join hands to deal with me?"


    "Nonsense, who are you? You''re Lin Kuang, the two of us! What, are you afraid?" Fang Xing reprimanded.


    "Stimulate me?" Lin Tian slightly smiled: "Relax, even if Du Feng followed along with all of you, he would still not be my match. But since I have already spat it out, I want to take a good look at it and see if your devilish training has any effect ¡­ ¡­"


    It was fine if they didn''t mention the last Devil Training, but when they mentioned the last Devil Training, the two of them immediately erupted.


    This Lin Kuang wasn''t only a battle maniac, he was also a cultivation maniac. Previously, in order to help them quickly improve, Lin Tian had asked the other three how he cultivated.


    That period of time was definitely the most unforgettable time for Du Feng, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er.


    When Du Feng heard this, he immediately turned to Gu Yan''er and Fang Xing and shouted, "All the best! Kill him for me!"


    Both Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er rolled their eyes. Did Lin Kuang Mo really think he was some kind of persimmon that could be killed just like that?


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and said: "Alright, I''ll wait for you to kill me. Let''s begin, I won''t hold back ¡­ ¡­"


    "I can''t stand to see you like this!" Fang Xing gritted his teeth.


    In the next moment, a majestic spiritual force surged out from Fang Xing''s body, rapidly forming numerous mental spikes.


    That''s right, the move that Fang Xing had used was the Spirit Essence Sting that Lin Tian had taught him!

 C300 Lin tians methods

    "He is actually a Symbol Master!" At this moment, not far away, Luo Tian suddenly opened his eyes.


    Apparently, the fight between Fang Xing and Du Feng, as well as the fight between Gu Yan''er and Zhang Taixu, had not attracted the attention of Allheaven.


    Therefore, he had almost fallen asleep just now.


    When he felt a strange power, he immediately opened his eyes.


    That''s right, it was a spiritual force attack.


    The others also turned to look at Fang Xing in surprise.


    They were all pure martial practitioners and did not cultivate their Mental Energy. Therefore, they immediately felt a trace of curiosity towards Symbol Masters who practiced Mental Energy.


    All of their attention were focused on Fang Xing''s attacks.


    "Use the method I taught you to attack me?" Lin Tian was also slightly startled, then he smiled and said: "That''s fine, today I''ll let you see the difference between real and fake!"


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. In the next moment, his Castrum Divinitus slightly moved as an incomparably majestic spiritual force gushed out in an instant. A powerful spiritual force instantly turned into numerous mental force spikes that rapidly charged towards Fang Xing.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. A sonic boom could be heard as the two Primordial Spirit Thorns collided with each other.


    "Swish, swish, swish." After the two forces collided, a terrifying sound that seemed capable of captivating one''s soul was emitted. In the blink of an eye, it was like a sound wave as it swiftly spread to its surroundings.


    Gu Yan''er''s expression immediately turned a little ugly. She did not cultivate her Mental Energy, and the collisions between them naturally made her feel a little uncomfortable ¡­


    "That Lin Tian is also a Symbol Master?" Right at this moment, when she saw that Lin Tian had also displayed a spirit power attack method, Jiang Ruoxi was finally unable to endure it any longer and asked.


    "It should be. This brat''s Mental Energy is almost stronger than many Symbol Masters I have seen before. I believe he should be a Soul Symbol Master ¡­" At the same time, the little wolf from the Tiger Wolf Camp also finally spoke with a hoarse voice.


    The little wolf had also previously dealt with Symbol Masters, so it wasn''t as if it didn''t know anything about Symbol Masters. But now that Lin Tian had used this move, the Immortal Soul Spikes, had completely shocked him.


    This brat definitely has the cultivation of a Soul Symbol Master!


    Hearing the two of them talk like this, Luo Tian Jun and Su Xiao both frowned.


    Seeing his young royal brother slightly frown, the king''s interest was immediately rekindled. He once again asked: "Heavenly Lord, what do you think of that Lin Tian?"


    I have to say that he has once again renewed my understanding, but I have always believed that strength is the way of the king. Although he is a spirit runemaster, and this advantage can strengthen his battle prowess, his strength is still too weak. If he was in the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage, I would definitely think that he would be a formidable opponent, but for the fifth level of the aurous core, even with the support of a spirit runemaster, he would still not be our match ¡­ Allheaven hesitated for a moment and then analyzed.


    But at this moment, the king laughed out loud and said, "Oh my lord, haven''t you discovered that you''ve changed from calling him a boy to calling him ''he'' now? Not only that, why don''t you say you can instantly kill him now?"


    Luo Tian was shocked, "That..."


    He didn''t notice the change in his words. Of course, he didn''t say that he could kill it with one move because he felt that he wouldn''t be able to do it.


    In addition to the support of a spirit runemaster, his fighting strength was enough to compare to an expert of the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage. He was only at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, and facing an expert of the eighth level of the aurous core, although he had absolute confidence in defeating him, killing him in one move was a little difficult.


    But now that he said that, naturally, Allheaven would not give up. The next moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I were to fight to the death, I have the confidence to kill him in one move ¡­"


    The king laughed out loud. He knew that the Lord of Luo Tian was trying to save him some face. He didn''t say much, but now, it could be seen that the hearts of these geniuses had changed.


    But, you have to know, this is only the beginning of a good show ¡­


    Indeed, this was only the beginning of a good show.


    The exchange between Fang Xing and Lin Tian had naturally not been too easy, and as a matter of fact, Fang Xing could not possibly take advantage of Lin Tian. Lin Tian had taught Fang Xing the same glyph skill as Fang Xing.


    The power of Lin Tian''s Primordial Spirit Thorn was almost enough to crush the power of Fang Xing''s Primordial Spirit Thorn to pieces.


    Not only that, in the next moment, Lin Tian once again used the Immortal Soul Piercing Technique.


    The Spirit power in his Divine Palace was like a vast ocean as they endlessly surged. So, it did not take much effort for him to use the Origin Spirit Spikes once again.


    There was no time for Fang Xing to react. The power of the Primordial Spirit Thorn had already been unleashed upon him.


    In a moment of desperation, he could only defend. Fang Xing''s innate physique of the Talisman Body was also fully utilized, and its greatest advantage was that Fang Xing was able to freely unleash the power of his spirit.


    His spirit power and Fang Xing''s spirit power were almost completely one, so he instantly summoned their spirit power to protect his entire body.


    When the Immortal Soul Piercing Spike collided with Fang Xing''s Mental Energy barrier, it immediately and thoroughly dissipated.


    But in the next moment, Lin Tian''s Spirit power once again exploded over.


    Fang Xing was dumbstruck. "Lin Kuang, are you even human?" How can you be so fast! "


    Lin Tian didn''t reply, but stopped attacking. He silently watched how Fang Xing was going to deal with his attack this time.


    "Why don''t you make a move? Are you going to watch a show?" Fang Xing grumbled to Gu Yan''er beside him. Didn''t he say that the two of them would fight against Lin Kuang and Demon Lin alone? How come he was the only one to fight now?!


    "¡­" Gu Yan''er rolled her eyes at Fang Xing. She had already made her move. In fact, she had long since made her move. Even before Lin Tian had made his move, she had already made her move.


    She had activated her Immortal Poison Scripture and wanted to be like when she was dealing with Zhang Taixu earlier, to place the poison aura on the stage. The moment Lin Tian walked into the circle, he would suck in a large amount of the poison.


    At that time, once Gu Yan''er detonated the poison energy, Lin Tian would naturally lose his ability to resist.


    But the poison''s power had already been completely sucked into Lin Tian''s nose. How come Lin Tian didn''t react at all?


    "She did it. Actually, she did it a long time ago!" Lin Tian suddenly said.


    In the next moment, he gently extended his palm. What was terrifying was that Lin Tian''s palm was not the color of flesh, but green.


    Streams of green poison energy unceasingly surged on Lin Tian''s palm.


    "She wanted to use her poison power to kill me. Unfortunately, I am immune to poisons, and any poison is useless against me!" Lin Tian gently smiled and then shook his hand.


    In the next moment, the cyan poison turned into drops of terrifying cyan liquid that slid down Lin Tian''s palm.


    When the green liquid landed on the arena, it immediately transformed into terrifying venom that corroded the arena, causing "puchi, puchi" sounds to ring out.


    Everyone was shocked!

 C301 Who dares to come forward?

    In the next moment, waves of noise sounded and they were all shocked by Lin Tian''s methods.


    There was actually someone who wasn''t afraid of poison!


    Of course, Lin Tian saying that he had a physique that was impervious to poisons was an exaggeration. He had indeed absorbed the poison gas that Gu Yan''er had emitted, but once that poison gas entered Gu Yan''er''s body, it would immediately be absorbed by Lin Tian''s whirlpool. Although the whirlpool of poison gas was unable to dissolve the poison energy, it could force the poison gas into a corner of her body.


    Lin Tian directly forced the poison power into his hands and then out of his body.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian was completely fine while absorbing the poisonous gas.


    At the same time, the battle between Fang Xing and Lin Tian had reached its conclusion. Faced with the attacks of the Immortal Soul Stinger, Fang Xing had no other choice but to use his own mental energy to face off against Lin Tian.


    But very clearly, he was not Lin Tian''s opponent in the hurried battle.


    "Bang, bang, bang." Fang Xing was immediately thrown out of the encirclement, and he was eliminated.


    "You battle maniac!" Gu Yan''er angrily said to Lin Tian while gritting her teeth.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian thought that Gu Yan''er had some other methods that he did not know about and was already fully on guard. However, he never expected that something unexpected would happen ¡­


    After saying this sentence, Gu Yan''er actually turned her head and walked out of the circle ¡­


    "?" Lin Tian''s face was full of question marks as he looked at Gu Yan''er: "This is ¡­"


    "Nonsense, you berserk demon. Who can beat you? I don''t want to fight anymore. Can''t I just admit defeat?" Gu Yan''er stared hatefully at Lin Tian Dao.


    The audience went into an uproar.


    Even Zhang Wuya, who was the referee, was shocked.


    However, admitting defeat on this level of the arena was something that was allowed to happen. Therefore, they were only stunned for a moment before quieting down.


    At the same time, Zhang Wuya also spoke, "This year''s Azure Province school''s new student ceremony has officially come to an end. This time, the first place of the new student ceremony is ¡­"


    "Hold on!" At this moment, the king in the VIP seats suddenly spoke ¡­


    "Hmm?" When the crowd heard the king''s voice, they immediately focused their gazes on him. They wanted to see just what he wanted to say.


    "Your Majesty, what orders do you have?" Zhang Wuya immediately bowed.


    Although you did not do well enough, but this third round of the competition is a little too sloppy. You have arranged three rounds of the elimination rounds, and although the elimination rounds are all dependent on strength, it is not fair to draw lots to decide the sequence of the elimination rounds. Furthermore, it does not seem like Lin Tian has used much strength to obtain first place in this Freshman Rite Competition, so I feel that you should give those people another chance, right? The king had suggested it.


    "Your Majesty, please enlighten me ¡­" Zhang Wuya immediately replied.


    What I mean is, why don''t we add another round to the competition and it will be the Challenger League. Just now, all of the students can challenge Lin Tian again, and whoever wins the first two rounds will be put to the side. the king said again.


    The king''s words were like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples. They began to discuss once again.


    But at this moment, Yang Qingtian suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I''m afraid this move is not appropriate ¡­"


    "Hmm?" The king''s eyes turned cold as he looked at Yang Qingtian.


    Yang Qingtian couldn''t care less at this time. Seeing that Lin Tian was about to get first place, but the king had suddenly interfered and said it was fair. But if it was like this, wasn''t it too unfair to Lin Tian?


    Lin Tian was a student of the Northern Courtyard. This time, the Northern Courtyard could not tolerate receiving such a monstrous student. The Northern Courtyard was about to be revitalized, so he naturally didn''t want to continue the side event.


    "I approve of the king''s proposal, but, if you win against Lin Tian, then you will be number one in the Freshman Rite. Not caring about the results in the first two rounds, isn''t that too unfair? Lin Tian''s results in the second round is his well-deserved first place ah ¡­" After Yang Qingtian said this, he broke out in a cold sweat.


    This is the king! Right now, he is actually denying the king''s opinion in front of everyone ¡­


    However, after the king heard Yang Qingtian''s words, he did not get angry. Instead, he looked towards Lin Tian and asked: "Lin Tian, your North Department Head, you feel that my suggestion just now was not too fair. What are you thinking about? Tell me ¡­."


    "Lin Tian thanks the President for speaking up for justice, but, I agree with the King''s suggestion ¡­" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly said.


    "What?" Yang Qingtian was startled and then turned around to look at Lin Tian. This brat was crazy. He was taking a huge risk and speaking up for him, but this brat didn''t appreciate his kindness?


    "Alright!" The king''s face was currently full of smiles: "Lin Tian, tell me what you think. I know that this suggestion is a bit unfair to you, but why do you accept it?"


    "If one wants to wear the crown, one must bear its weight. Since I am so dazzling today, I will naturally have to accept everyone''s doubts and challenges. Otherwise, even if I am able to obtain first place, what meaning would there be?" Lin Tian''s gaze suddenly exploded with a scorching light.


    "If you want to wear the crown, you will definitely have to bear its weight!" The king loudly laughed, then said, "Just by your nature, your carefreeness, and your confidence, you are worthy of the title of the number one new student in the Azure Province."


    "Don''t be afraid, just go up and challenge him. If you lose, there won''t be any effect, but you win. This time, the number one student in the Azure Province will be yours, and you guys should know that the number one student in the Azure Province has the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Mystic Realm!"


    The king was trying to persuade everyone to challenge Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian suddenly interrupted the king''s words: "Your Majesty, I haven''t finished speaking ¡­"


    "Hmm?" The king was slightly startled, but immediately replied, "Yes, go ahead."


    "The most important reason why I am willing to accept the king''s proposal is because ¡ª" Lin Tian stopped here.


    In the next moment, he swept his eyes across his surroundings and captured the expressions of everyone within the crowd. Then, he spoke again with a voice that sounded like rolling thunder as he arrogantly said, "I want to see which one of them dares to come up!"

 C302 Get lost in ten moves!

    "I want to see which one of them dares to come up!"


    His voice was loud and domineering, arrogant to the point where there was no end to it.


    But this was the true voice in Lin Tian''s heart.


    Everyone was stunned when he said it.


    The king also swept his eyes over the other new students, thinking that Lin Tian''s words were enough to provoke a reaction from them. But the truth was that he had thought too much of it, the students all went silent, no one said anything, even though their faces turned red and white, clearly showing their extreme anger, but no one said a word, no one dared to make a move ¡­


    The four people, Su Xiao and Luo Tian Jun, also narrowed their eyes.


    This Lin Tian was much more arrogant than they had imagined. It was just that the craziness of having strength was called arrogance.


    For example, Mo Xiaolang from the Tigerwolf Battalion was the representative of "Kuang".


    However, Mo Xiaolang was also the most powerful one.


    Among the Five Great Academies, there was a Hidden Dragon Rank.


    On the main board of the Hidden Dragon Rank, there were only ten names.


    As for the secondary ranking, a hundred people were recorded.


    Mo Xiaolang was the number one on the Hidden Dragon Rank, the number one genius of Tian Luo!


    He, Mo Xiaolang, had the qualifications to be arrogant. He was strong, he was the only genius among the new generation, an expert in the Star River Realm.


    Luo Tianjun, Su Xiao, Jiang Ruoxi, and even geniuses like Ji Fangge were only at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    But that Lin Tian, why should he?


    Honestly speaking, with his strength, who among them would put him in their hearts?


    The insolent with strength was called insolent with no strength. For example, the insolent without strength was called bragging like Lin Tian. He was boasting shamelessly and had no idea in his heart!


    Did she really think of him as a spring onion?


    But when Lin Tian said these words, all the new students became silent. They really did not dare to come up.


    Su Tian''s previous lesson was already laid out in front of his eyes. Su Tian, who could have fought with Lin Tian for hundreds of rounds before finally being defeated by Lin Tian, actually could not even last a single move against Lin Tian.


    Wasn''t this enough to explain the problem?


    This Lin Tian was no longer the Lin Tian from before. None of them dared to come and find trouble with him.


    As a result, in an instant, no one moved, while Zhang Wuya, who was at the side, felt a little awkward. Originally, this request was made by the king, but the other students did not listen to the king.


    This condition was already superior enough, but in the end, it didn''t move them.


    None of them dared to come up, who would dare? Lin Tian''s strength was all in front of them, none of them felt that they could fight with Su Tian, if they could, they would just be looking for a beating, why?


    No one challenged him, so the king didn''t have much to say. He had said everything he needed to say just now, but these kids were clearly frightened by Lin Tian, so they didn''t have any thoughts of challenging Lin Tian. What he had just said could be considered to be for nothing.


    The king slightly shook his head, indicating that he would not continue to interfere.


    Zhang Wuya immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that the king would continue to interfere. Now it was clear that no one dared to challenge Lin Tian, so continuing like this was just a waste of time.


    "Good. This time, the first place of the new students'' grand ceremony in the Azure Province will be Lin Tian!" Zhang Wuya said this in a single breath, as if he was afraid that the king would change his mind.


    Lin Tian faintly smiled and didn''t say anything.


    This was what he had expected. Out of all the students in the arena, whoever dared to come up would be no different from Su Tian. As long as they weren''t afraid of death, they could just come up.


    However, the thing that made Lin Tian the most excited about getting first place was the qualifications to enter the Tian Luo secret realm.


    This was something that Lin Tian had to have.


    After the Freshman Competition ended, the next mission would be the Clear Sky Challenge Competition.


    The rules of the Clear Sky Challenge Competition were rather simple. This was because all the new students had the qualifications. Naturally, they were split into several large areas and conducted their own business.


    Not only was Lin Tian the first place in the Freshmen Rankings, the most important thing was that Lin Tian was also ranked 77th on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Therefore, everyone was looking forward to who Lin Tian would challenge.


    Yang Qingtian looked at Lin Tian''s gaze and asked with anticipation: "Lin Tian, who do you want to challenge?"


    Lin Tian''s gaze immediately fell on the one hundred students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    A few people in the audience also began to guess who Lin Tian would choose as their first challenger.


    Right now he was at 77th place, but everyone had seen his battle strength. Naturally they guessed that Lin Tian would very likely directly jump above the other rankings and directly challenge those experts below the 50th place.


    But Lin Tian''s gaze first fell on Ji Fang Ge''s body.


    At this time, Ji Fangge was sitting on the third seat in the first row. He looked fixedly at Lin Tian with a trace of an inexplicable smile on his face.


    It''s about time to get to know the agreement of the third month ¡­


    He then smiled apologetically and said: "Originally today, I should have directly completed the Three Moons Contract, but it seems like it still won''t work. Before I resolve the Three Moons Contract, I still have one cause and effect that I have yet to understand, so I better first understand that cause and effect ¡­"


    Saying that, Lin Tian''s gaze suddenly turned towards Wang Tian Fang''s seat.


    Ji Fangge was somewhat suspicious of Lin Tian''s performance, but the others who knew about it all had faces full of understanding.


    This so called "informant" was one of the students and instructors who had participated in the Clear Sky preliminaries.


    In the Qingyun Trials, Lin Tian, as a new student, forcibly squeezed himself onto the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    At first, the first person to raise an objection was Wang Tian Fang.


    Only after forcing Lin Tian to fight with him for ten moves did Wang Tian admit that Lin Tian''s strength was qualified to enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Presumably, at that time, this Lin Tian had already remembered this incident ¡­


    Now that he thought about it, if it was really like that, Lin Tian''s gaze towards Wang Tian Fang was already explaining everything.


    Indeed, in the next moment, Lin Tian''s voice was suddenly heard.


    "What I want to challenge is the genius of the East District, Wang Tianfang, who possesses the Black Tortoise bloodline!"


    Lin Tian pointed at Wang Tianlei and said to Yang Qingtian.


    "I knew that you would never hold a grudge. If you have a grudge, take it on the spot. If you can''t take it on the spot, you must always remember it ¡­" Yang Qingtian forced a smile and faced Lin Tian.


    Wang Tian Fang''s expression changed slightly as well. However, he didn''t hesitate and directly went up to the stage. As the students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, they couldn''t refuse this challenge. They could only accept it.


    "Senior Martial Brother Wang''s strength has improved again. This is truly a cause for celebration. Does Senior Martial Brother Wang still remember Lin Tian back then?" Lin Tian''s eyes exuded a blazing light as he stared at Wang Tian Fang.


    "I remember, of course I remember. Junior Apprentice Brother Lin''s achievement today has also made me have a whole new level of respect for you." Wang Tian Fang was not afraid at all as he looked Lin Tian in the eye.


    The strong smell of gunpowder immediately spread between the two of them.


    Lin Tian laughed loudly: "That ten moves'' shame, I have always remembered it in my heart and will never forget it. Today, I want to once again experience Senior Martial Brother Wang''s high technique. Senior Martial Brother Wang, please give me some pointers."


    "Junior brother Lin, I dare not say I am worthy of your instruction. I am no longer the same junior brother Lin from before ¡­" Wang Tian Fang said with a faint smile.


    "That''s right. Thus, I will return those ten moves from back then to senior brother Wang today." Lin Tian seemed to have some hidden meaning.


    "Hmm?" Wang Tian Fang was slightly startled, as he didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.


    "Oh, what I mean is, in ten moves, in ten moves, Senior Martial Brother Wang will come down from this arena ¡ª get lost!" Lin Tian said with a face full of smiles.

 C303 Great war wang tianfang

    Crazy, increasingly crazed, to the point of no end ¡­


    This was the only thought in everyone''s minds after hearing Lin Tian''s words.


    Is he crazy?


    He had to know who was standing in front of him!


    This was Wang Tianfang, a top genius of the East District who possessed the Black Turtle bloodline of a Divine Beast.


    A genius at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage, ranked seventh on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, an existence ranked second in the Hidden Dragon Rank at the top thirty!


    But Lin Tian actually dared to say that within ten moves, tell Wang Tian to scram?


    Had Lin Tian gone crazy, or had they gone mad?


    He coldly snorted and said, "Earlier I knew that Junior-apprentice Brother Lin was crazy to the point that he didn''t care about anyone, and now it seems that it is true. But, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, are you not afraid of losing your tongue?"


    "Let''s do it ¡­" Lin Tian was too lazy to waste words, "It''s useless to say too much, just hit the floor and it''ll be useless ¡­ ¡­"


    "Oh, from what you''re saying, you''re sure of me?" Wang Tian Fang was currently even more embarrassed and annoyed, but his anger had actually calmed down. Who knows, it might anger him, it might just be one of Lin Tian''s methods, how could he let Lin Tian''s wish come true?


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Lin Tian directly responded to Wang Tian Fang''s attack with a palm.


    Lin Tian''s body moved at an extreme speed. The Sky Collapsing Palm that he used almost instantaneously exploded in front of Wang Tian Fang''s chest.


    "Hehe, you want to use this kind of power to fight me?" Wang Tian Fang did not even look at it, and directly shattered Lin Tian''s Sky Collapsing Palm attack.


    "Kill!" In the next moment, a green light flashed in Lin Tian''s hand and a long spear instantly rushed out from Lin Tian''s hand.


    The spear shot out like a dragon. In the next moment, a long green dragon suddenly appeared on the surface of the Dragon Scale Spear and charged directly at Wang Tian Fang.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s voice rang out again: "Second Move!"


    Wang Tian Fang was startled, but immediately erupted. This brat was actually recording his move? Did he really think that he could defeat him in ten moves?


    "Since you''re so overbearing, I don''t have to give you face!" Wang Tian angrily said. In the next moment, the boundless Origin Energy on his body began to roll over. In the next moment, he directly charged at Lin Tian.


    "Spirit Serpent Form!" A long snake-like Yuan Power instantly formed into a huge phantom spirit serpent. It directly bit towards the long green dragon that erupted from the dragon scale spear in Lin Tian''s hand.


    When the dragon and snake met, an extremely terrifying force erupted in an instant.


    The moment the two powerful forces met, the spirit serpent immediately devoured the long dragon.


    However, the consequences of devouring the dragon was killing the enemy 1000 times and losing 800 times its original number. In the next moment, the phantom spirit snake also collapsed and no longer existed.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and waved the Dragon Scale Spear again.


    "An afterimage!" The Dragon Scale Spear rapidly rotated and emitted numerous spear shadows. In an instant, it swept crazily towards Wang Tian Fang.


    "I''ll swallow it!" Wang Tian Fang was currently not afraid at all and directly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    At that moment, above Wang Tian Fang''s head, a huge tortoise shadow suddenly appeared. It was an incomparably powerful huge tortoise, and the tortoise spiraled, then suddenly opened its mouth and directly broke through Lin Tian''s afterimage.


    The power of the Black Tortoise bloodline had already completely shown its power at this moment.


    The power of the Black Tortoise was naturally the Spirit Serpent and Black Tortoise.


    "The third move." Lin Tian slightly smiled. He looked at his own afterimage being broken by Wang Tian without a trace of worry.


    This was only the beginning. If Wang Tian let go of Lin Tian and couldn''t even block these few moves, wouldn''t that be letting down the physique of the Black Tortoise bloodline, and also letting down the seventh rank of the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­


    "Kill!" Lin Tian made his move again. At this moment, the Spirit power in his Divine Mansion began to surge. In the next moment, the enormous and abnormal Spirit power wrapped around the Dragon Scale Spear and instantly used the fourth move.


    "God of Slaughter!"


    This move was the third move of the Buried Dragon Spear Art, God Slaying.


    The power of the God Slayer, with a powerful spiritual force, charged towards Wang Tian Fang.


    "Bang bang!" With a loud noise, the black tortoise image that had evolved behind Wang Tian Fang instantly dissipated, completely disappearing from sight.


    After suffering such a blow, Wang Tian Fang''s expression immediately changed.


    "How, how is this possible?" Wang Tian Fang muttered to himself. He had exchanged a few moves with Lin Tian and it seemed like he was being chased by Lin Tian and had no power to fight back. He had absolutely no control over the situation.


    This was still that Lin Tian from before. Previously, he had chased after Lin Tian to passively receive his attacks, but now, in the short span of a few months, Lin Tian had unexpectedly changed as if he had been reborn. Now, it was Lin Tian who had completely grasped the initiative!


    "Next, is the fifth move!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, not giving Wang Tian any opportunity to catch his breath.


    "Killing intent!" The monstrous energy once again charged at Wang Tianfang in an instant.


    This was the fourth move of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, Murdering Heart.


    God Slaughtering, Murdering Heart belonged to the category of soul attacks, so the difference in power wasn''t too great.


    At this moment, when he abruptly displayed the Murdering Heart, Wang Tianfang did not react in the slightest.


    But by the time he reacted, it was already too late. The strength of the spear had already arrived in front of him.


    In such a short time, even Wang Tianyuan didn''t have time to react and directly threw out a palm. He wanted to use the power of his palm to force Lin Tian back.


    However, he had still underestimated the strength of this heart killing attack. The most powerful aspect of this heart killing attack wasn''t its strength, but rather its mental strength.


    AHH!" In that instant, Wang Tian Fang suddenly roared out.


    He felt as if his mind was about to explode. The Murderous Heart was constantly attacking his sea of consciousness.


    It was at this time that Lin Tian made his move again.


    This time, returning to his original nature, Lin Tian did not use any other methods. Instead, he simply and violently displayed the power of his physical body.


    That''s right, it was the strength of the fleshly body.


    In that instant, Lin Tian adjusted the incomparably berserk strength of his body to its best and directly rushed towards Wang Tian Fang.


    "Bam!" There was a shocking explosion as Lin Tian''s body and Wang Tian''s body completely collided.


    At this moment, Wang Tian Fang felt as though his body had been struck by a gigantic boulder. Crack, crack, crack. He felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered, turning into chunks of existence.


    However, that situation did not last long because in the next moment, Lin Tian finished gathering his power and he threw another attack at Wang Tian Fang.


    "Bang bang!" Another loud explosion rang out and Wang Tian Fang was no longer able to stand on the spot.


    Wang Tian Fang was forced back several steps before he managed to regain his balance.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian attacked again.


    It was still a physical attack.


    "The seventh move." The instant Lin Tian collided into Wang Tian Fang, he once again said this.


    It was already the seventh move.


    After Wang Tian Fang heard Lin Tian''s words, he once again felt ashamed and angry.


    This Lin Tian was blatantly humiliating him!


    "I''ll kill you!" From the start of his attack until now, Wang Tian Fang had always been in the state of being chased down. This brat had all sorts of tricks up his sleeves and his attacks were extremely quick. The moment he attacked, it was like a violent storm that crazily rushed over.


    He was not going to give him any chance to attack.


    This was the first time he took the initiative to fight back. However, he now felt that he had lost the best opportunity to do so. His body was currently heavily injured.


    "Black Turtle Form, Dance of the Spirit Serpent!" Wang Tian Fang struggled as he unleashed these two moves.


    In the next moment, a Black Tortoise suddenly pressed down on Lin Tian like a mountain, and that Spirit Serpent was currently dancing frantically on the body of the Black Tortoise, its tail wagging as it released terrifying amounts of spirit energy.


    "I''ve finally used my ultimate move!" Lin Tian slightly smiled, but immediately after, he roared: "But, all of this is useless against me!"


    He gripped the Dragonscale Spear with both hands. At this moment, there were no gaudy moves, only a true move!


    "Break for me!" Lin Tian''s body charged straight at the Black Turtle.


    Bang bang bang bang! Waves of huge sounds, coupled with surging Origin Energy shot out in all directions, causing everything on the arena stage to be incomparably terrifying.


    However, just at that time, Lin Tian''s body already exploded the circling Black Turtle. At the same time, the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand directly pierced through the Black Turtle that was dancing on his body.


    In the next moment, the Spirit Serpent was nailed to the black turtle shell.


    Following that, the Xuanwu turtle and the spirit serpent immediately dissipated with a loud rumble.


    At the same time, Wang Tianyuan also violently vomited out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying and he did not get up again ¡­

 C304 Berserk is berserk

    It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or not, but Wang Tian Fang had fallen down from the mountain of arenas.


    On the other hand, what Lin Tian said before, to let Wang Tian let go of ten moves and roll down, was directly true.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s body firmly landed on the stage.


    He said to the conscious Wang Tiangfang, "Senior brother Wang, that move just now, even if it was counted as two moves, it was only the ninth move. As I said before, I told you to roll down within ten moves, but in reality, it was just a joke. I never thought that Senior brother Wang would actually take it seriously.


    The sarcasm in his words was much more obvious.


    Hearing this, Wang Tian Fang immediately felt his consciousness go black, and then he actually fainted from anger.


    This time, Lin Tian defeated Wang Tian Fang. Not only did he make Wang Tian Fang faint from anger, he also completely ignited the surrounding atmosphere of the stage.


    "Am I dreaming?" Some people stared blankly at the situation on the stage and asked in disbelief.


    "I don''t know. I also feel like I''m dreaming. This boy, he actually, actually defeated Wang Tian Fang?" someone replied.


    "The Northern Courtyard is about to rise." Some of the other students sighed.


    "That''s right, our Azure Province''s weather is going to change ¡­"


    At the same time, Gu Yan''er, Du Feng, and Fang Xing were also dumbfounded.


    After a long while, the three of them looked at each other and said the catchphrase that they often used recently: "As expected, Lin Kuang Devil is Lin Kuang Devil ah ¡­"


    That''s right, Lin Kuang was Lin Kuang.


    Lin Kuang was only at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage. He actually managed to defeat Wang Tian Fang, who was at the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    Such a feat, if one looked at the entire Azure Province, was not aimed at a single person, but at everyone present.


    Except for Lin Kuang!


    Only Lin Kuang could do that. Every time, Lin Kuang would focus all of his eyes on him. This time, it was no exception.


    "The Northern Academy is about to produce an extraordinary genius ¡­" When Zhou Tian Xing saw this scene, he was first shocked, but soon after, he couldn''t help but sigh emotionally.


    He originally knew that Lin Tian was definitely a monster, but he was wrong. He never would have thought that today''s Lin Tian would have such achievements.


    "That old bastard Yang Qingtian is being taken advantage of ¡­" Zhou Tian Xing glanced at Yang Qing Tian''s joyous face, and couldn''t help but curse in his heart.


    Actually, in the battle between Lin Tian and Wang Tian Fang, he already felt that something wasn''t right.


    Lin Tian''s performance in the previous two rounds and his battle with Su Tian had already made Zhou Tian Xing feel that Lin Tian had changed completely from before ¡­ ¡­


    At this moment, Zhang Wuya and Nangong Shi were both gnashing their teeth as they looked at Yang Qingtian. This old bastard, he really picked up a big deal.


    The Nangong Technique originally thought very highly of Lin Tian. It was just that he gave Lin Tian a condition that he couldn''t refuse, but in the end, Lin Tian still rejected it ¡­


    "Ah ¡­" "Achoo!" Just at this moment, Yang Qingtian sneezed a few times. His face darkened: "It must be those old things scolding me, but scolding, the more they scold me, the happier I am ¡­"


    At that time, Lin Tian had promised that he would rely on his own strength to bring the Northern Courtyard back to glory. Now, he had already done it.


    Right now, the entire Northern Courtyard was going to have unprecedented attention, all because of the Northern Courtyard''s Lin Tian.


    In the second round of the assessment, take three hundred steps forward, then take the third round of the assessment with a domineering air, then fight against Wang Tian Fang, the name Lin Tian, after today, will definitely resound through the entire Tian Luo Kingdom''s Five Great Academies ¡­


    At this moment, everyone in the VIP seats didn''t make a sound for a long time.


    In the end, the king still laughed and said, "That''s right, that''s right. Seems like another extraordinary student appeared in the Azure Province Academy. Good, good, good. This is the good fortune of the Azure Province Academy, and also the good fortune of the heavens!"


    However, Luo Tianjun, Jiang Ruoxi, Su Xiao, Mo Xiaolang, and the others who had been belittling Lin Tian, didn''t say a word now.


    It could be said that the battle between Lin Tian and Wang Tian Fang had left them speechless.


    The four of them were already asking themselves if they could defeat Wang Tianfang in ten moves if they were to fight him.


    But in the end, they all had a huge question mark in their hearts.


    Even someone as strong as Mo Xiaolang hesitated. It wasn''t that he couldn''t do it; just with his cultivation base at the first level of the Astral Reaching Realm, he was already beyond the third level of Wang Tian Fang.


    He could use his powerful strength to directly crush Wang Tian Long, but that was not what he wanted. Moreover, Wang Tian Fang had the bloodline of the Black Tortoise.


    Any other situation was impossible.


    Since Mo Xiaofei had such a thought, the others naturally had a better idea of what was going on.


    It was also at this time that the king asked Luo Tian Jun: "Heavenly Monarch, what do you think about Lin Tian?"


    This was already the fourth or fifth time the king had asked this question, and every time, he would only ask with one sentence: "What do you think of Lin Tian?"


    He took a deep breath and said: "I feel that this Lin Tian is very strong, his strength lies in the power of his body. I feel that the strength of his body surpasses some of the Star River Realm experts, and he is also a Symbol Master. Of course, the spear in his hand cannot be ignored either ¡­"


    "So, I feel that if I were to meet him, although I have absolute confidence in winning, I am unable to say how many moves I can use to defeat him ¡­" Finally, Allheaven finished.


    "Oh, seeing Lin Tian''s performance, you actually say that you have absolute confidence in winning?" The king''s interest was piqued again.


    "Exactly, his strength is too weak." Luo Tian said stubbornly and told him his reason ¡­


    The king smiled but didn''t say anything.


    And at this time, Lin Tian''s gaze also landed on that Ji Fang Ge.

 C305 Forest invincibility versus ji invulnerability!

    Seeing Lin Tian''s gaze turn to Ji Fang Ge, Yang Qingtian couldn''t help but ask: "Lin Tian, do you still want to challenge him? You''ve defeated Wang Tian Fang, and now you''ve replaced Wang Tian Fang''s original position as the seventh expert on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, so you ¡­"


    "Disciple still wants to continue his challenge!" Lin Tian decisively replied, he did not let Yang Qingtian continue speaking.


    He also knew what Yang Qingtian meant. Yang Qingtian''s intention was very simple, he didn''t want Lin Tian to continue challenging him.


    Being able to reach the seventh rank was already quite good.


    Moreover, looking at Lin Tian''s attitude, he wanted to challenge Ji Fang Ge.


    What kind of existence was Ji Fang Ge? He could be considered the number one expert of the Azure Province.


    Even though Ji Fangge was ranked third on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    However, that was only when Ji Junge had gone easy on him.


    In the whole of Qingzhou Academy, only Ji Fangge could be compared with Su Xiao of the Sword Seeking Academy, Jiang Ruoxi of the Misty Academy, Luo Tiannan of the Royal Academy, and Mo Xiaolang of the Tiger Wolf Camp.


    He was the only one.


    These were all important figures that the king had personally taken care of in the future, the pillars of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Thus, from this perspective, their talent and strength were needless to say.


    But Lin Tian actually wanted to challenge him?


    But this time, before Yang Qingtian could ask anything, Lin Tian spoke first.


    "I know you''ve been waiting downstairs for a long time. Come up, Ji Fang Ge!" Lin Tian naturally said this to Ji Fang Ge.


    The agreement for the third month had been decided long ago. Looking at Ji Fang Ge''s expression, he must have been waiting for this day for a long time.


    So, it just so happens that this is the best time.


    "Crazy, crazy, this kid is completely crazy ¡­" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the crowd below the stage started to clamor again.


    Wasn''t it enough for this kid to challenge Wang Tian Fang? He actually challenged Ji Fang Ge?


    "Don''t tell me he naively thinks that he can defeat that Ji Fangge just by defeating that Wang Tianfang?" Someone couldn''t help but ask.


    Fang Xing, Du Feng, and the two Elders looked at each other once more before saying, "Fighting maniacs ¡­"


    They were already powerless to retort. It seemed that as long as Lin Tian fought, he would have endless strength ¡­


    Of course, the next moment, Ji Fangge''s reaction shocked everyone else even more.


    Ji Fangge actually walked directly into the arena. Furthermore, the expression on his face did not reveal any surprise or surprise. On the contrary, it was as if he had expected this to happen.


    Actually, other than some of the older students who had personally witnessed the battle between Lin Tian and Nangong Fan, Yang Wang, and Li Qingshan, the older students knew that Ji Fangge and Lin Tian had a agreement of three months. The rest of them did not know that the two of them had such a past, so they naturally did not know of their relationship.


    "You and Wang Tian Fang have a grudge?" The first sentence that came out of Ji Fang Ge''s mouth was no different from the first one he asked.


    "A little..." Lin Tian briefly recounted what had happened back then.


    Ji Fangge nodded in understanding.


    But soon after, Ji Fangge pointed at Lin Tian and asked: "You just experienced a great battle and fought with me. Are you sure you can do it?"


    This was asking Lin Tian about the consumption of his soul force.


    "I will not hold back ¡­" Ji Fangge emphasized the point again.


    "Then, then wait for me for a quarter of an hour!" Even if the whirlpool of his Dantian was accelerating, helping Lin Tian to recover his soul force, but compared to the consumption just now, it was no different from a cup of water without a fire. He still needed to sit down and recover his soul force, he did not want to not respect Ji Fang Ge and respect his opponent''s first condition, which was that he must fight with everything he had.


    "Alright, I''ll wait for you ¡­" Ji Fang only had these few words to say.


    Lin Tian nodded his head and then quickly sat down cross-legged. He no longer cared about Lu Fu. He originally had countless spirit stones with him.


    However, at this moment, he took out over a hundred low-grade spirit crystals.


    Now that the battle was imminent, the speed at which spirit stones recovered their spirit energy was too slow. It was not as fast as the spirit crystal.


    Thus, if he wanted to quickly recover, he would naturally need this Spirit Crystal.


    Putting the Spirit Crystals outside of the forest heavenly body, Lin Tian quickly circulated his whirlpool of dantian. Under the crazy circulation of the whirlpool of dantian, Lin Tian immediately began to quickly refine the Spirit Crystals.


    At this time, cultivating in front of everyone made everyone see Lin Tian''s cultivation speed.


    At this moment, the Spirit Crystals were quickly emitting terrifying amounts of Spiritual Energy before being quickly absorbed by Lin Tian.


    At the same time, those spirit crystals quickly turned into dust and scattered with the wind.


    Ji Fangge was also a bit shocked as he looked at Lin Tian''s cultivation. He also didn''t think that Lin Tian''s recovery speed would be so fast.


    Not long after, Lin Tian stood up. At the same time, the several hundred Spirit Crystals that were placed in front of Lin Tian had now completely turned into dust.


    Lin Tian shook the power in his body and scattered the powder. He then raised his head and faced Ji Yunhuang as he said: "Alright, let''s start ¡­ ¡­"


    "En, alright!" At this moment, Ji Fang Ge could clearly feel the power in Lin Tian''s body and had already adjusted to its peak condition.


    The blood within his body was incomparably vast, and he was emitting a vigorous life force.


    Thinking of this, Ji Fangge was ready to make his move.


    However, before he made his move, Ji Fangge still said softly, "There is no need for us to fight with our lives on the line. I will suppress my strength to the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage. Let''s stop there, what do you say?"


    "Suppressing my strength?" Lin Tian immediately frowned and waved his hand: "That''s not necessary, all of my cards are extremely learned. Although I am only at the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage, those cards are more than enough to make up for it, so you should still use all your strength to fight me ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian directly rejected Ji Fangge''s suggestion. What a joke. With his current strength, forget about encountering a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage like Ji Fangge.


    Even if he were to really meet a Star River Realm expert, he might have the strength to fight them ¡­


    "Do you think I don''t have a card up my sleeve?" Ji Fangge retorted with a question, clearly wanting to insist on his opinion.


    But Lin Tian still shook his head and then said: "You might not know, but I have a nickname. It''s called, invincible in the same realm. It''s better if you don''t suppress your own strength."


    "Oh, what a coincidence. I have another nickname as well. It''s also called ''Invincible within the same realm''." Ji Fang Ge smiled lightly and continued to maintain his opinion.


    "Haha, good, our Lin Unrivaled has met Ji Unrivaled. I''d like to see who is truly unrivalled!" As Ji Fang Ge spoke to here, Lin Tian did not continue persuading and directly spoke.


    Lin Wuju versus Ji Wuju, the battle was about to start!

 C306 Crazy wars

    It was just as Ji Fangge had said. He began to suppress his power from the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage to the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage.


    Lin Tian did not say anything else, because Ji Fang Ge had already decided. Thus, the two of them fought each other at the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage. He also wanted to know what strength Ji Fang Ge had, or what trump card he had, that allowed him to dare claim that he was invincible within the same realm.


    It had to be known that the reason why Lin Tian dared to say that he was invincible within the same realm was because of his methods, or rather, his trump cards. There were really too many.


    But why should he, Ji Fang, sing songs?


    Was he really a white-robed saint?


    The reason why Ji Fangge had attracted so much attention was entirely because of his reputation as the white-robed saint.


    Everyone said that Ji Fangge was the only expert who could become a saint in the Azure Province Academy.


    He was a saint! He was someone who could create his own domain of laws. He could even turn the tide and turn the tides. He was a top-notch expert who could turn the tides with a single wave of his hand.


    Of course, this was all what Lin Tian had heard. To be honest, Lin Tian himself did not know what Ji Fang Ge was doing. Could it be that he was relying on his potential to become a saint?


    But if they were to compete in potential with Lin Tian, in the entire Sky Dragon Continent, who could compare with Lin Tian in potential?


    He was an existence that had inherited the blood essence of an Ancestral Dragon.


    In the Sky Dragon Continent, he dared to claim himself second in potential, who would dare to claim themselves first?


    However, Ji Fang Ge didn''t seem like a person who didn''t care for nothing, so Lin Tian didn''t lower his guard.


    His first move, was the move from the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb.


    "First move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Destroy!" Monstrous Yuan Power instantly gathered on Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear. The surging Yuan Power that gathered was extremely terrifying.


    In that instant, a spear shot out towards Ji Muge.


    Ji Fangge stood still as he watched the spear rushing towards him. It was only when the power of the spear was almost upon him that he took action.


    As for Ji Fangge, his actions were even more frightening. He directly extended his hands. They were a pair of spotlessly white hands, similar to his name, the White Sacred Son. It actually looked a bit fresh and refined.


    In an instant, his hands completely rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Facing Lin Tian''s berserk and terrifying spear, Ji Fangge used both of his hands to respond.


    At the same time, something happened that caused one''s scalp to go numb.


    Ji Fang Ge''s hands penetrated through everything and his five fingers formed a claw, directly grabbing towards Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear ¡­


    "Whoosh!" There was only a light sound as Ji Fangge used both of his hands to grab Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear!


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian Deng was somewhat shocked. How was this possible? Ji Fang Ge had actually used his two hands to grab his Dragon Scale Spear?


    But in the next moment, something that made Lin Tian even more astonished happened again.


    Lin Tian felt that his Dragon Scale Spear was about to fall out of his hands. After Ji Fangge grabbed onto his Dragon Scale Spear, he actually wanted to directly take it away!


    "Let go of me!" At this moment, Ji Fang Ge''s voice came softly. He was indescribably happy and relaxed.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly felt the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand. Immediately, a huge force was transmitted over.


    That huge force instantly surged towards Lin Tian, causing him to almost be unable to hold on to the long spear in his hands.


    Lin Tian forcefully pulled back the Dragon Scale Spear, but he felt that Ji Fangge''s hands were like iron pincers that tightly grabbed onto the Dragon Scale Spear, preventing him from pulling back even a little bit.


    At this moment, Ji Fangge had a faint smile on his face. He held onto the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand, as though he was not using any of his strength at all ¡­


    "Go!" At this moment, Lin Tian felt that he couldn''t win against Ji Fang Ge, so he directly let go of him. But in the next moment, his Divine Mansion already surged with boundless spiritual energy.


    It was none other than his talisman skill, the Divine Punisher Shuttle!


    The Godslayer Shuttle''s power emitted a sonic boom as it flew towards Ji Fangge.


    However, he was not worried in the slightest. He only held onto the Dragon Scale Spear with one hand and released a burst of power with the other. In front of him, it formed a huge transparent light barrier that tightly surrounded him within it.


    "Swish, swish, swish." Accompanied by such a sound, the Divine Punisher Shuttle immediately broke the powerful light barrier in front of Ji Fangge.


    However, the power of the Divine Punisher Shuttle had completely vanished and was being melted by the barrier of light.


    "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" But in the next moment, Lin Tian''s body had already arrived in front of Ji Fang Ge.


    The successive moves of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb and the power of the Divine Punisher Shuttle were all displayed, but they were all unable to do anything to Ji Fangge. This also made Lin Tian only have this one method.


    The power of his fleshly body was what he relied on, and also what he was confident in!


    "Kill!" The potential in Lin Tian''s body was completely stimulated by him. He adjusted it to its peak state and directly blasted it towards Ji Fang Ge.


    Ji Fangge had watched the match for a long time, so he was very clear about Lin Tian''s physical body as a trump card.


    Of course, it was impossible for him to fight Lin Tian with just his physical body.


    His figure suddenly flashed, and in the next moment, he disappeared from where he stood.


    But at the same time, he still tightly grabbed onto Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear.


    Without the Dragon Scale Spear, Lin Tian''s attacks were greatly restricted. Only like this did Ji Fangge have the chance to counterattack.


    When Lin Tian saw Ji Fang Ge''s body flash, he immediately disappeared from where he was. Naturally, he knew that Ji Fang Ge also practiced a footwork martial art.


    Moreover, judging from his speed, the profundity of his footwork martial arts was not inferior to his'' God Transforming Steps''.


    But Lin Tian was not surprised. After all, he was the white-clothed Holy Son, an existence that could compete with geniuses like Luo Tian Jun and Mo Xiao Lang. If he didn''t have some skills, how could he be worthy of his current position?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian also adjusted his God Transforming Steps to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Ji Fangge.


    But just at this time, Ji Fang Ge''s figure moved again. Just as he wanted to dodge Lin Tian''s attack, Lin Tian suddenly threw out a punch.


    This was a punch filled with powerful elemental energy. In an instant, a monstrous force charged towards Ji Fangge.


    "Great Destiny Fist!"


    When this fist was thrown out, Ji Fang Ge couldn''t help but stop his body and block Lin Tian''s fist.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian''s next fist once again rushed forward.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" Another palm.


    This punch completely limited Ji Fangge''s speed.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s body finally fiercely crashed into Ji Fang Ge.


    "Bang bang!" The instant the two collided, a monstrous explosion rang out. Ji Fangge did not hold back and finally let go of the dragon scale spear. His two hands fiercely pushed out, blocking Lin Tian''s body.


    He had no choice but to do so. After all, he knew that Lin Tian''s physical body was strong. If he went against Lin Tian''s physical body, how could he block it?


    So, Ji Fangge had no choice but to give up on the Dragon Scale Spear. He used all of his strength and used his hands to fight Lin Tian''s physical body.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." The moment the two collided, Ji Fang Ge''s body staggered back a few steps before regaining his balance.


    Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge''s situations were similar.


    Lin Tian felt a burning pain in his chest, and the source of the pain was naturally from Ji Fang Ge''s palm.


    However, he did not have the time to think about it. He used his physical body''s strength to forcefully fight against Ji Cangge. His goal was to obtain his Dragon Scale Spear.


    Without the Dragon Scale Spear, Lin Tian''s strength would be greatly reduced. If that was the case, how could he beat Ji Fang Ge?


    Taking back the Dragon Scale Spear, Lin Tian slightly adjusted his body. The Swirling Dantian quickly circulated and emitted a wave of cool power, dispersing the fiery feeling in front of his chest.


    He moved his body slightly and fired once more.


    "An afterimage!" In a split-second, the spear shadows became hundreds of beams of light. In the blink of an eye, they were rushing towards Ji Fang like a rain of pear blossoms.


    After all, he had used his own palm and forcefully withstood the power of Lin Tian''s physical body. But this Lin Tian had originally relied on his physical body to gain an advantage, so he naturally could not be underestimated. Facing that palm, he had actually made Ji Fang Ge''s palm go numb ¡­

 C307 Mirror moon flower in water

    And at this time, Lin Tian once again thrust out his spear, causing Ji Fangge to feel somewhat uncertain in his heart.


    Obtaining the Dragonscale Spear was akin to fish swimming in water, but he hadn''t taken it from Lin Tian, so it would probably be very difficult to snatch it from him once more.


    This time, he did not expose the Dragon Scale Spear in front of Ji Fangge. Instead, he directly used the Dragon Scale Spear to create a series of afterimages before pulling the Dragon Scale Spear back.


    This time, Ji Fangge could only face the spear shadows.


    "Disperse for me!" Ji Fangge suddenly struck out, and elemental energy surged from his palms, devouring the spear shadows in an instant.


    Lin Tian''s expression did not change as he fired out another shot.


    "Third move of the Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª God Slaying!"


    Mental Energy gushed out from Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace like a tidal wave and completely wrapped itself around the dragon scale spear.


    The dragon-scaled spear unleashed a terrifying might, a long dragon formed of Mental Energy immediately charged towards Ji Fangge with bared fangs and brandished claws.


    At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed across Ji Fangge''s eyes.


    He also knew that Lin Tian was a spirit runemaster and that he had a powerful mental strength. Furthermore, he could turn it into an attack method and was exceptionally powerful.


    But he never would have thought that Lin Tian''s methods of Spirit power would be used to such perfection. He could actually pour Spirit power into the long spear and use it to attack.


    He slightly moved his body, and his jade-like hands once again released a powerful force to protect his entire body.


    At the same time, Ji Fangge finally decided to counterattack. Lin Tian''s attacks and methods came wave after wave, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.


    It wasn''t his style to remain passive and take beatings, but it also greatly restricted his methods.


    Currently, his entire body had a protective barrier, so he did not need to worry too much about Lin Tian''s attacks. Thus, Ji Fangge did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he retaliated.


    "The moon shines in the mirror, the flowers bloom in the water!" Ji Fang let out a soft moan and actually recited two lines of poem.


    However, a small poem accompanied by Ji Fang''s song came out.


    In the mirror, a crescent moon gradually rose. In addition, outside the mirror, a calm surface of the water was rising. In the water, a red flower was quietly blooming.


    In an instant, the crescent moon was like a blade. In an instant, it charged towards Lin Tian.


    "Ha ha-ha, I finally managed to see that kid, Ji Cangge, using the Mirror Moon and Water Flower spell again!" At this moment, the king in the VIP seats suddenly spoke up with a smile on his face.


    These words were said to Gu Qingyuan.


    Gu Qingyuan expressionlessly nodded.


    However, everyone in the other VIP seats were also somewhat shocked.


    This was especially true for Luo Tianjun, Mo Xiaolang, and the other two.


    They often came into contact with Ji Fang Ge, the previous top genius of the five great academies, and they even carried out missions together.


    They all knew that Ji Fang Ge''s strongest abilities were the four arts ¨C Mirror, Moon, Water and Flower.


    This was a method that could reach the heavens. It was the moon in the mirror, the flower on the water.


    In the past, they had personally witnessed Ji Cangge executing the Moon in the mirror. Facing a fourth-ranked demonic beast, which also meant that it was comparable to a human cultivator at the Astral Reaching Realm, the power of the crescent moon chopped off the head of that demonic beast with a single move.


    It was also because of this that Luo Tianxing, Jiang Ruoxi, Su Xiao, and the others were a little afraid of Ji Fangge.


    After all, this was the only time they had seen Ji Cangge cast the Mirror Moon Water Flower!


    Furthermore, it was only the Moon in the Mirror. After all, Ji Fangge had never publicly used the Flower of the Water before.


    Nobody knew how powerful the Moon in the Water was ¡­


    However, judging by how frightening the moon in the mirror was, they could imagine that the flower in the water was definitely not weak.


    Seeing this, they all had faint expectations for Ji Fang Ge and Lin Tian''s upcoming battle. They also wanted to know if Lin Tian could withstand the attack of Ji Fang Ge''s Moon in the mirror.


    If possible, they were looking forward to seeing if Ji Fangge would still use the Flower of the Water attack!


    A crescent moon slowly approached him. Although the speed seemed to be very slow, to Lin Tian''s eyes, the speed of this attack was extremely fast. That was because in the blink of an eye, the crescent moon arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Inside Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, the power of his soul violently trembled, and a sense of danger immediately emanated from the Immemorial Dragon Talisman.


    "Danger!" Lin Tian didn''t even think as he threw out a palm. He wanted to use his own palm strength to block the crescent moon that was quickly charging towards him ¡­ ¡­


    However, a single palm strike was no different from a drop in the bucket. He had no way of blocking the crescent moon''s attack.


    The crescent moon continued to rush towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian felt his entire body tremble because he already had a premonition that if this attack really hit his body, he would very possibly die.


    A strong sense of danger immediately stimulated his whirlpool of dantian.


    That whirlpool of Dantian was currently rotating crazily. Not long later, the drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence that was suppressed in the center of the whirlpool of Dantian finally started to move ¡­


    "Whoosh!" A trace of essence blood was immediately pulled out from that drop of blood and then fell into Lin Tian''s aurous core.


    "Roar!" At this time, Lin Tian''s body suddenly shook. He felt a terrifying burning feeling suddenly come from his lower abdomen.


    When the Jindan withstood that sliver of blood essence, it actually felt like it was about to explode.


    He let out a roar that was as terrifying as a demon beast.


    Kacha, kacha!


    Just at this time, within Lin Tian''s body, a sound that was like a bone breaking and then regrowing back out unexpectedly rang out.


    Currently, Lin Tian''s entire body was red. Within the red, there were still traces of golden light. He looked very frightening.


    Not long after, many scales appeared on Lin Tian''s body, making him look like a dragon scale.


    "Is, is this a snake scale or a dragon scale?" At this moment, Luo Tian Jun, who was sitting in the VIP seats, could no longer hold it in anymore and asked the people beside him.


    Su Xiao and Jiang Ruoxi both shook their heads. It was obvious that they didn''t know either.


    However, at this moment, Mo Xiaofei opened his mouth, "Don''t you think that the scales on his body look like ¡ª dragon scales?"


    "What kind of joke is this ¡­"


    "How is this possible?"


    "Impossible!"


    Luo Tianxing, Jiang Ruoxi, and Su Xiao all shook their heads.


    Dragon scales, what a joke. The dragon race was already extinct. Currently, there were only the legends of the dragon race on Sky Dragon Continent. However, the flood dragon still existed, and there were countless powerful pythons.


    Thus, they believed even more that these were snake scales, or dragon scales. No one believed that they were snake scales or dragon scales.


    "This is?" Ji Fangge also saw Lin Tian''s change. Honestly speaking, he himself found it hard to believe.


    However, he did not have the time to think about it in the next moment.


    As a result, his crescent moon had already arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    "Clang!" With a sound, the crescent moon fell on Lin Tian''s body.


    However, at this moment, an unbelievable scene occurred.


    When the crescent moon landed on Lin Tian''s body, it was actually shattered by Lin Tian''s body. It completely dissipated and became an illusion.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian was currently completely unharmed ¡­.


    The power of the Moon in the Mirror failed. Lin Tian blocked it!

 C308 Break them all down

    This time, not only Ji Fangge, but everyone else in the audience was shocked as well.


    The seniors all opened their eyes and mouths. They stared at Lin Tian as if they had seen a ghost.


    "Even Lin Kuang is this strong?"


    Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng all felt a hint of helplessness in their hearts as they watched the battle between Lin Tian and Ji Fangge.


    The battle between the two could not be viewed with the eyes of an ordinary person.


    At least they couldn''t compare.


    Gu Qingyuan was also shocked in his heart. He didn''t think much of Ji Fang Ge. As the headmaster of the Azure Continent Academy, he naturally knew of Ji Fang Ge''s strength, and he also knew of Ji Fang Ge''s methods.


    No matter how much of a genius Ji Fang had displayed, he had always been mentally prepared.


    But Lin Tian had given him an unprecedented surprise.


    Ji Fangge was the white-clothed Holy Son. Lin Tian had been able to withstand his ultimate technique, the Mirror Reflection Moon and Water Moon Magic, and had even successfully broken it. This had already surpassed Gu Qingyuan''s imagination.


    The king was the same, but the more genius Lin Tian was, the more excited he was in his heart.


    He had already been very optimistic about this Lin Tian, especially back in Sky City during the beast tide battle. It let him see the talent that Lin Tian possessed.


    Of course, it was also from that time onwards that the king had a higher expectation of Lin Tian.


    Originally, he did not need to attend the new students'' grand ceremony held by the Azure Province Academy and the Clear Sky Challenge Competition afterwards. However, he still came. Naturally, his goal was to see Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian''s current performance had already greatly exceeded his expectations. Of course, this wasn''t in vain as he recorded Lin Tian''s name on his separate list.


    Lin Tian was an existence that could absolutely compete with the other geniuses of the five great academies!


    "It actually broke ¡­" At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi''s mind was in a daze. Even though the truth was right in front of her eyes, she still found it hard to believe. She didn''t dare to believe what she was seeing right in front of her eyes.


    Compared to a few months ago, when they went on a mission together, Ji Fang Ge was much stronger. Even if Ji Fang Ge was able to suppress his real strength and fight Lin Tian with his fifth level Aurous Core cultivation.


    However, although he was able to suppress his strength, he was unable to suppress the mastery of the [Mirror Reflection Moon and Water Moon].


    It was obvious that Ji Junge was much stronger than when he used the [Mantra of the Mirror Reflection of the Moon and Water].


    In short, the Moon in the Mirror was much stronger than before.


    At that time, even a Rank 4 Demonic Beast was unable to withstand Ji Fangge''s attack, but that Lin Tian actually withstood it?


    How did he do it?


    Could he be stronger than a demonic beast?


    The current Luo Tian Jun and Su Xiao''s thoughts and Jiang Ruoxi''s thoughts weren''t too different from each other. They were all shocked by Lin Tian''s performance and didn''t know how Lin Tian had done it.


    However, at this moment, Mo Xiaolang seemed to be deep in thought, especially when he saw Lin Tian''s body full of scales. His eyes exploded with waves of strange light.


    He still felt that all of the problems came from the scales on Lin Tian''s body ¡­ ¡­


    At this time, after breaking the power of the Moon in Ji Fang Ge''s mirror, Lin Tian immediately felt refreshed. Just now, his entire body felt like it was overflowing with power, making him feel very uncomfortable.


    Especially in his lower abdomen, there was a wave of scorching pain that was hard to endure. However, after breaking the moon in Ji Fang''s mirror, all of the extra strength on Lin Tian''s body scattered, causing him to feel an indescribable sense of comfort.


    But at this moment, Ji Fangge had completely restrained his thoughts of underestimating Lin Tian.


    No wonder he dared to say that he was invincible within the same realm ¡­


    However, Ji Fangge was not discouraged because he still had one final killing move that he had yet to cast.


    "Flower of the Water!"


    At this moment, Ji Cangge once again used his [Mirror Moon Water-Flower] technique.


    At this moment, the scene from before appeared behind him once again.


    In a giant mirror, a crescent moon gradually appeared. At the same time, outside the mirror, there was also a calm water surface. In the water surface, a tender and beautiful flower that was about to drop slowly grew ¡­


    Mirror moon water flower, the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water.


    However, the moon in the mirror had already dimmed and lost all its strength. On the contrary, the flower in the water was quickly blooming.


    In the next moment, that flower suddenly appeared and rushed towards Lin Tian.


    This time, without waiting for Lin Tian to react, the flower completely wrapped around Lin Tian.


    In an instant, the flower suddenly began to wildly tremble.


    Lin Tian felt like he was currently in a huge space. In this space, there was a terrifying killing intent everywhere.


    Lin Tian slightly extended his finger, but in the next moment, he felt a wave of pain from his hand. Following that, drops of blood began to gush out from his hand.


    Lin Tian abruptly retracted his hand. At this moment, his hand also began to quickly scab, quickly healing the strange injuries from before.


    Lin Tian was deep in thought. Just now he clearly felt that his finger seemed to have been cut by something, which was why it suddenly splashed out drops of terrifying fresh blood.


    It would seem that the power within this flower was capable of killing people without them noticing.


    Moreover, at this moment, with the continuous shrinking of the flowers, it seemed like Lin Tian could be completely wrapped into a dumpling.


    Thus, Lin Tian immediately stopped hesitating. At this moment, he felt his entire body filled with limitless power, and all of this was brought to him by that strand of fresh blood just a moment ago.


    Therefore, he had to take advantage of the power in his body to completely shatter the flower.


    Otherwise, once this flower was successfully shrunk, it would be difficult for him to escape.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate any longer. The soul force around his body churned and the dragon scales that had just disappeared once again covered his entire body, tightly protecting Lin Tian''s body.


    "Break for me!" Lin Tian abruptly roared out and the power around his body immediately scattered. The surging power instantly caused the flower to explode ¡­


    In fact, Ji Cangge had already been prepared when she saw her flower trembling. She didn''t expect that what was about to happen would finally happen.


    His own power from the flower in the water could not do anything to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian immediately used his physical body''s power to forcefully shatter the flower''s power in the water.


    Without the restriction of the flower''s power in the water, Lin Tian Deng immediately obtained freedom.


    At this moment, he suddenly appeared on the stage.


    On the other hand, Ji Fang Ge let out a sudden groan and clutched his chest ¡­


    He was injured, Lin Tian''s strength directly destroyed the flower in the water and also heavily injured Ji Fang Ge ¡­

 C309 The inner enchantment of ji fang ge

    The dust settled.


    Although Ji Fangge did not want to admit it, he had no choice but to admit it.


    He had lost, lost to Lin Tian.


    In this battle, even though he had suppressed his own cultivation, he had completely executed the Mirror Moon and Water Flowers'' grand spell.


    But facing this kind of attack, Lin Tian endured it. There was no need to continue fighting.


    He had already lost. He lost very thoroughly.


    The current Lin Tian looked completely unscathed. Even the blood in his body was abnormally strong, even more so than before when he did not fight ¡­ ¡­


    What did this mean? It meant that not only was Lin Tian not injured, it was very possible that he had advanced in this battle!


    On the other hand, Ji Fang Ge was severely injured.


    Not only that, even Ji Fangge''s heart felt a little relaxed.


    He felt disheartened and an indescribable feeling surged into his heart ¡­


    "This is bad!" Ji Fangge suddenly came to his senses, wanting to dispel the haze in his heart.


    But no matter what, he could not get rid of it.


    "It''s over!" Ji Fangge''s pupils suddenly constricted. He suddenly heard a "kacha" sound coming from deep within his heart.


    Ji Fangge was scared out of his wits. The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed in fear, "H-how is this possible..."


    "What''s the matter with you?" Lin Tian also frowned and then asked Ji Fangge.


    Why did his reaction seem so wrong, so much so that there was something abnormal about it!


    "My Sacred Heart, my Sacred Heart!" At this moment, Ji Fangge was screaming in pain. His demeanor was no longer the same as the white-robed saint he had been earlier.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was also slightly startled, but he immediately seemed to have understood something. He no longer hesitated and directly rushed in front of Ji Fang Ge.


    "Ji Fang Ge!" Lin Tian''s voice was like thunder as it resounded in Ji Fang Ge''s ears.


    Ji Fangge raised his head blankly. At this moment, the area between his brows was already covered in a black haze. The aura that was originally as warm as jade from Ji Fangge''s body had completely decayed, and his bearing was no longer ¡­


    "Pah!" Lin Tian did not hesitate as he slapped Ji Fang Ge''s face.


    A five-clawed red imprint instantly appeared on Ji Fangge''s face.


    "What are you doing?" Ji Fangge''s face turned red. It was obvious that he was on the verge of exploding.


    "Useful!" Lin Tian was overjoyed and once again sent a slap over.


    This time, a red handprint appeared on Ji Fangge''s right cheek!


    "You ¡ª want ¡ª to ¡ª die?" At this time, Ji Fang Ge could no longer control the anger in his body. He suddenly waved his hand and blasted a palm onto Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian didn''t move.


    "Ji Fang Ge, look at me!" Lin Tian roared at Ji Fangge once again.


    Ji Fangge raised his head again. At this moment, a hint of clarity finally appeared in his eyes. The murky look in his eyes was also quickly restored.


    In the blink of an eye, Ji Fangge spat out another mouthful of blood.


    Lin Tian was just about to continue hitting Ji Fang.


    However, Ji Fangge suddenly said, "No need, thank you junior brother Lin. I''m already done ¡­"


    Lin Tian let out a long sigh of relief and retreated a few steps back. His legs went soft and he laid down on the stage.


    "Hahaha, hahaha ¡­" Lying on the ground, Lin Tian suddenly laughed out loud.


    Everyone in the audience was stunned.


    Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the scene unfold. Everything happened just now too quickly. So fast that everyone''s eyes were opened, and they were at a loss on what to do ¡­


    "This is bad!" But at this moment, Gu Qingyuan and the king seemed to realize something and were about to rush up the stage.


    Not far away, Ji Fangge suddenly spoke up from the arena. "What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"


    These words weren''t directed at others, but at the laughing Lin Tian.


    "Ji Fangge, Ji Fangge, what should I say about you? To tell you the truth, Northern Courtyard, you are the only one that I like. Of course, my lackeys don''t count ¡­" Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth as if he was chatting.


    "But why can''t you take such a small blow?" Lin Tian seemed to be muttering to himself, but he also seemed to be talking to Ji Fang Ge: "My lackeys, each one more shameless than the other. If they can''t beat me, then they''ll be lazy, shameless, and even give me a nickname behind my back ¡­ ¡­"


    "But why can''t you bear it?"


    Ji Fang did not reply, but instead let out a pained groan.


    That''s right, Ji Fangge''s cultivation almost went berserk just now.


    The reason why they called Ji Fang Ge the white-robed saint son was naturally because Ji Fang Ge had a saint heart.


    Sacred Heart was a type of innate talent, and it was also Ji Fang Ge''s dao heart.


    The reason he had such an achievement today, and the fact that he would most likely become a Saint in the future, was all because of his Sacred Heart.


    But just now, against Lin Tian, after he was defeated by Lin Tian, a shadow had actually appeared in his heart. In that short moment, he had fallen into a painful despair ¡­


    Of course, Ji Fangge was also quickly aware that something was not right. He quickly tried to dispel the shadow in his heart.


    But it was too late.


    The inner demons were the most terrifying existences, and it was also the moment when Ji Fangge''s will was the weakest. In this short period of time, Ji Fangge''s sacred heart was shattered.


    Once the Sacred Heart was destroyed, Ji Fangge would no longer be the white-robed Sacred Son.


    He would never step into the legendary sage realm in his life.


    Ji Fang Ge immediately became terrified, but the more he panicked, the more his inner demon energy flourished. In the end, Lin Tian discovered that something was wrong with Ji Fang Ge.


    In a moment of desperation, he decided to use the simplest and most effective method. It was to enrage Ji Fang with his song, so that Ji Fang could temporarily put aside all other thoughts.


    The facts proved that Lin Tian''s choice was correct. Ji Fang Ge could not accept that Lin Tian would slap him in public. Anger defeated all the other thoughts in his mind, making his inner demon energy stop corroding Ji Fang Ge''s song.


    When Ji Fang Ge''s consciousness recovered, he was already able to control the heart demon''s power in his body ¡­


    However, Ji Fangge''s Sacred Heart had already been shattered, leaving him with no way to recover it.


    Earlier, the reason why the king and Gu Qingyuan wanted to rush to Ji Fangge''s side was because of this. They were afraid that something might happen to Ji Fangge.


    But to my surprise, something happened. It''s too late ¡­


    At this moment, everyone understood the situation on stage and they all sighed. There was not a single one of them who did not feel pity for Ji Fang Ge ¡­

 C310 The so-called sky is just an unneeded restriction!

    The faces of Gu Qingyuan and the king grew even uglier. They naturally knew what had happened.


    Ji Junge''s Sacred Heart was in trouble!


    Of course, when they discovered that something wasn''t right, Lin Tian had already acted.


    Therefore, it was useless even if they went in front of Ji Fang Ge now.


    The Sacred Heart already had a problem. Saying too much would only make it easier for Ji Fang Ge to feel even more unwell.


    As such, even though the two of them knew what happened to Ji Cangge, they did not dare to step forward to inquire about his current situation.


    Moreover, the crux of the matter was what Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge were saying.


    The rest of the people, including the people in the VIP seats, were all blankly staring at Ji Fangge. For a moment, no one said a word.


    It could be said that he had fallen from the sky to the ground. Such a change was something all of them had never expected.


    However, at this moment, they were looking at Ji Fang Ge with sympathy, especially Luo Tian Jun and the others. They were originally on the same level as Ji Fang Ge, but now ¡­


    The other deans of the other academies were also looking at Ji Fangge with worry in their eyes.


    The loss of a white-robed Holy Son was undoubtedly an enormous loss to Tian Luo. At the same time, it was not a good thing for their five great academies ¡­


    However, at this moment, Ji Fang Ge''s face was ashen, as if he did not care about how anyone would look at him.


    Everything was no longer important.


    His Sacred Heart had already been shattered. From a high and mighty man with unparalleled demeanor in white clothes, he had fallen to a state where he no longer had the face to look at anyone.


    Including what Lin Tian had just said, Ji Fangge had not heard it in his heart.


    "Ji Fang Ge." Lin Tian laid on the stage and looked at Ji Fangge, whose hair was in disarray.


    "If you have something to say, say it ¡­" Ji Fangge bitterly laughed and said in a weak voice.


    "Alright, what I want to say is, congratulations on finally breaking that so-called Sacred Heart ¡­" Lin Tian suddenly stood up and said to Ji Fangge with a smile.


    "Hmm?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Ji Fangge, who was originally in pain, suddenly raised his head.


    But soon after, he spoke in a low voice, "Brother Lin, Ji Fangge has experienced such a brilliant taunt ¡­"


    Ji Fangge thought that Lin Tian was ridiculing him. The light in his eyes completely dimmed.


    In the Sky Dragon Continent, the martial arts were revered, the strong were innocent, and the weak were the original sin.


    Since he had lost, he should naturally accept all the mockery.


    "Look at me, do I look like I''m mocking you? If I were to mock you, I would say ''the white-clothed Holy Son is only so'' and not ''congratulate you ¡­" Lin Tian continued speaking. At this moment, his gaze fell on the people below the stage.


    "What do you mean?" Ji Fang Ge was startled, as if he didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.


    "My meaning is very simple. Congratulations." Lin Tian interrupted Ji Fang Ge''s words, then his voice suddenly became much louder: "You''ve been bound by that so-called Sacred Heart!"


    "What Sacred Heart? Who has a Sacred Heart? He is a saint destined for the future!"


    "In my opinion, this is all bullshit!"


    "Those are all unwarranted restrictions, they are all ¡­" Lin Tian''s finger suddenly pointed towards the older students who were sitting in their positions. Then his finger moved again: "They ¡­"


    This time, he was referring to the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    "And them!" Finally, Lin Tian pointed at the people in the VIP seats.


    "These are the restrictions they have placed on you. These are their expectations, their hopes, and their thoughts!"


    "However, let me ask you this. What exactly do you think? Can their thoughts be used in place of yours?"


    After Lin Tian said this, his voice suddenly rose an octave higher, as if he was shouting at Ji Fang Ge.


    Ji Fangge was stunned. He suddenly felt as if something in his heart had been touched.


    "That''s right, it''s them. They said that you possess the Sacred Heart, that you are a natural born sage, that''s why they gave you the title of the white clothed saint son, and they told you that as long as you work hard in your cultivation, you will be able to reach the sage realm, and that''s why you work hard in your cultivation, hoping to reach the level they described. However, I ask you, do you, Ji Fangge, want this? Do you, Ji Fangge, also think so in your heart?"


    Lin Tian''s words were like needles stabbing into Ji Fang Ge''s heart.


    He only knew that he was born with the Sacred Heart. As long as no accidents happened, he would become a saint, and he seemed to enjoy the title of the so-called white-clothed Sacred Son ¡­


    However, he really didn''t seem to have thought about what he wanted from the depths of his heart ¡­


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly roared again.


    "However, all these, in my opinion, shouldn''t be because of you, Ji Fang,!"


    "In my opinion, no one should be decided. Who said that with the Sacred Heart, one would definitely reach the Saint Realm?"


    "If I had a Sacred Heart, the first thing I would do would be to break my own Sacred Heart!"


    "Because, no one can define my future. Only I can determine my future achievements, so what if I''m a mere Saint? If I, Lin Tian, want to be the supreme God King of legends!"


    Lin Tian''s words were like heavenly music that rolled across everyone''s heart.


    Everyone who heard Lin Tian''s words felt their throats dry up. They didn''t know why, but they always felt that the words that Lin Tian said made their hearts suddenly have some strange impulses.


    "Ji Fang Ge, look up. What did you see?" Lin Tian suddenly calmed down and said to Ji Fang Ge.


    "What?" Ji Fang Ge was even more suspicious, but he couldn''t help but follow what Lin Tian said as he raised his head to look up.


    Above his head, there was only the sky. There was nothing!


    That''s right, it is the sky. When you raise your head, you will be able to see the sky, your so-called white clothed saint son, your Sacred Heart, your so-called destiny. That''s why when you raise your head, you will be able to see the sky, so what you want to do is to be invincible and unparalleled in the world ¡­


    "But!"


    "In my opinion, the thing above my head is not the heavens, but rather ¡­ binding!"


    Lin Tian''s words were shocking.


    "It''s a binding, it''s a binding. It''s blocking my eyes, making it impossible for me to see what''s above. Therefore, my Dao Heart is breaking it!"


    In the next moment, Lin Tian fiercely roared towards the sky. In an instant, a berserk dragon soul rushed out from Lin Tian''s body. Accompanying it was the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand, which abruptly flew towards the sky.


    In that instant, the power of the dragon soul that blotted the skies soared into the heavens, soaring into the clouds!


    The sound of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky.


    In that instant, thunder rumbled, but Lin Tian once again wildly roared: "Break for me!"


    In an instant, the dragon soul that was just a moment ago charged into the lightning that filled the sky. In that instant, the lightning was directly shattered by the transparent dragon soul.


    Then, the thunder disintegrated in an instant and dissipated, completely vanishing from the sky.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Gasps immediately sounded from the audience.


    "This, this ¡­"


    They could no longer use words to describe how they felt at that moment. They could only feel their throats dry and their entire bodies tremble.


    It wasn''t just the students, even Allheaven, Mo Xiaofei, and the others felt the same way.


    Gu Qingyuan, the king, and the other four principals of the four great academies were also shocked by Lin Tian''s actions and words and were unable to recover from their shock for a long time.


    "Ji Fang Ge, did you see that?" Lin Tian regained his calm. In the sky, there were currently no clouds at all. The scene just now seemed to have never happened before ¡­


    "..." Ji Fangge was stunned on the spot, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

 C311 Lin tians heart of martial arts

    "This is the ''Heavens'' in your eyes, and this is also the ''Bind'' in mine!" After a long period of silence, Lin Tian suddenly spoke again.


    At this moment, Lin Tian''s tone no longer had that wild and arrogant tone from before. Instead, it was indescribably calm and collected.


    "Heaven''s will has always been a type of unwarranted restriction."


    "You are bound by the restriction that the Sacred Heart and all of them imposed on you." Lin Tian continued to speak in a bloody manner.


    "Thus, as long as you break the restriction, what would a mere Saint Realm be worth?"


    "Could it be that all of your hard work in this life was for someone else? Could it be that you are working so hard just for the sake of those so-called Saints? "


    "As long as you are brave enough to break those bindings, one day, you will be able to make sure that the heavens can no longer cover your eyes!"


    Lin Tian said indifferently, but he seemed to have some unspeakable magic, causing Ji Fang Ge to want to continue listening.


    As he listened, Ji Fang Ge suddenly felt as if he understood something. At the same time, Ji Fang Ge''s body also underwent some changes.


    Within his body, the sound of ''kacha'' suddenly grew louder.


    In that instant, huge changes started to happen within Ji Fangge''s body as well.


    Lin Tian turned a deaf ear as if he was talking to Ji Fang Ge and to everyone else. Of course, it was more like he was talking to himself.


    "The heart of martial arts is only up. The heart of my heart is where the dao lies. And the heart of martial arts is simple and pure. It is your own heart, not the heart of others ¡­" Lin Tian spoke these words as if he was in a dream. Then, he suddenly had a burst of understanding.


    What he had said just now was not so much exhorting Ji Fang to sing, but rather telling him to sing. These words were not only exhorting Ji Ling to sing, but also making his heart more resolute.


    Before now, he hadn''t been too firm on his own heart of martial arts.


    He only vaguely knew that he had to continuously work hard and become strong.


    But after seeing the changes in Ji Fangge today, Lin Tian immediately understood the true meaning of a martial artist''s heart.


    The so-called heart of martial arts was actually a type of attitude. With regards to cultivation and martial arts, one''s attitude was first in all matters.


    If one''s heart was uncertain, then no matter what one did, one could only fail.


    Therefore, the first thing to do in training martial dao was to be serious!


    Ji Fang Ge muttered to himself about the four sentences that Lin Tian had just said: "The heart of martial arts can only be raised, the heart''s location, the existence of the Dao!"


    "That''s right, I long to become a saint realm, thinking that the saint realm is my limit. I possess the Sacred Heart, so others call me the white clothed saint son, until finally, I turned the expectations of others into my own expectations. I''ve always lived within the expectations of others, and I''ve never really thought about my own heart of martial arts ¡­"


    In that instant, Ji Fangge''s heart was filled with a sense of enlightenment.


    At the same time, cracking sounds could be heard from within his body.


    The next moment, his Sacred Heart was completely melted.


    However, there was no joy or worry in Ji Fangge''s heart. He seemed to be immersed in a certain state of mind.


    "Sudden enlightenment. This is sudden enlightenment!" At this moment, someone in the audience immediately cried out in alarm.


    However, soon after, everyone went silent.


    They knew that this state of mind was equivalent to sudden enlightenment. Ji Fangge had already gained a new understanding of the Dao, which was why such a situation had occurred.


    This was a state that was hard to come by and hard to come by. Normally, one would encounter some bottlenecks in their cultivation afterwards.


    From this, it seems that the breaking of the Sacred Heart isn''t a disaster to Ji Fangge, but a blessing ¡­


    However, at this moment, none of the people in the VIP seats said a word.


    Whether it was the king, Gu Qingyuan, the four principals of the four academies, Mo Xiaofei, Luo Tiannan, or the others, they were all lost in thought.


    They were also carefully considering the words that Lin Tian had just said.


    "The heart of martial arts can only be ascended, where the heart is, where the dao exists!"


    These words were like sixteen words of truth, causing everyone to rethink their dao heart.


    Not long after, a strong power surged out of Ji Fangge''s body and into the sky.


    In the next moment, that powerful force immediately attracted everyone''s attention. At this moment, everyone''s eyes were focused on Ji Fangge.


    Ji Fangge''s gaze was now as clear as ever. His entire demeanor had returned to its former gentleness and elegance.


    However, at this moment, Ji Fang was slightly different from before.


    This difference was mainly due to his temperament. If Ji Fangge had been a white-robed Saint, then now that he was so high up in the air, he no longer looked as if he was a thousand miles away.


    The previous Holy Son had now completely turned into an ordinary student.


    Of course, this was not the most important change. What was most important was Ji Fangge''s strength.


    At this moment, everyone was shocked to discover that Ji Fangge''s strength had reached the Astral Realm!


    In Ji Fangge''s eyes, it was as though there was a vast space in the universe. The elemental energy in his body was unceasingly surging, like a raging river. This was the state where his aurous core shattered and turned into a river of stars.


    In the VIP seats, Luo Tiannan, Su Xiao, and Jiang Ruoxi all looked at Ji Fangge with envious expressions.


    The geniuses of the Five Great Academies, other than Mo Xiaolang, had appeared yet another Star River expert. Furthermore, it was Ji Fangge, who had broken through the Sacred Heart...


    Everyone was in disbelief, but they had no choice but to accept this reality.


    Lin Tian was the same as Ji Fang Ge.


    At this time, Lin Tian also had an extremely obvious change.


    In reality, just now Lin Tian already had the intention of breaking through.


    Previously when he was fighting with Ji Fang Ge, Ji Fang Ge''s [Mirror Moon Water-Flower] technique had completely stimulated Lin Tian. The whirlpool in Lin Tian''s dantian had triggered a trace of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence, and with the help of that trace of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence, Lin Tian was able to easily defeat Ji Fang Ge.


    It was just that it was unexpected that Ji Fangge''s Sacred Heart had been broken after he defeated him. This was what happened after that.


    Of course, this also caused Lin Tian to be moved by a slight breakthrough and was forcefully suppressed by Lin Tian.


    Until just now, when Lin Tian had spoken of his own understanding and firmly determined his heart of martial arts, Lin Tian had naturally broken through.


    The blood in his body surged and an endless amount of power surged into Lin Tian''s aurous core in an instant.


    Powerful blood energy brought Lin Tian''s Aurous Core power, so at this time, Lin Tian suddenly broke through two levels, reaching the seventh level of the Aurous Core Stage ¡­


    To be honest, this was a mutually beneficial process.


    It had been a long time since Lin Tian had caused the fusion of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence.


    His biggest trump card was actually the drop of dragon blood in his dantian.


    The source of Lin Tian''s power all came from that drop of Ancestral Dragon blood.


    However, if he wanted to fuse the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence with Lin Tian''s, he would need to constantly stimulate his own potential.


    The battle with Ji Fang Ge allowed Lin Tian to once again stimulate the dragon blood in his dantian to fuse with his body.


    As a result, he broke through once again. Of course, he also helped Ji Fangge rebuild his heart of martial arts. Of course, he also reconfirmed his own heart of martial arts.


    So, it was better to say that Lin Tian''s harvest was a bit greater ¡­

 C312 Master lin?

    Of course, very few people in the current Lin Tian had noticed.


    Many people had their eyes fixed on Ji Fangge.


    He originally thought that it would be difficult for Ji Fangge''s Sacred Heart to achieve anything more after it was shattered. However, he didn''t expect his consecutive epiphany to break the shackles that the Sacred Heart had given him.


    It could be said that the white-robed Sacred Son from earlier had made them feel fear, or even envy.


    However, Ji Fang Ge''s performance now had a huge impact on them.


    To be able to obtain such a great lucky chance from a broken Sacred Heart, they had no reason to give up so easily.


    Thinking of this, everyone became a little excited. They secretly made up their minds to work even harder at cultivating in the future ¡­


    Afterwards, the atmosphere in the entire Azure Province, especially the Northern Courtyard, was very deep. From then on, the Azure Province Academy thoroughly turned into a power, and its reputation within the Five Great Academies also jumped from being at the bottom to becoming the strongest academy.


    He had even become the pride of the entire Tian Luo, as well as becoming the only martial arts holy land in the hearts of all the students in Tian Luo Country.


    Of course, all of this would come later, but this series of changes had started from today.


    "Thank you, Lin shi!" At this time, Ji Fang Ge walked in front of Lin Tian and gave him a huge bow ¡­ ¡­


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but soon felt relieved. He did not refuse and calmly accepted Ji Fangge''s kneeling salute.


    What Lin Tian had just done for Ji Yunhuang was definitely a rebirth of grace.


    He was the first to notice the strangeness of Ji Cangge and immediately let Ji Cangge keep her life. If he hadn''t noticed that something was wrong with Ji Cangge and immediately angered her, Ji Cangge would not have been driven to the point of going berserk. This had already saved Ji Cangge''s life.


    If not for this, Ji Fangge would have died in his heart.


    Not only that, but after that, Lin Tian had personally solved Ji Fang Ge''s doubts and helped him rebuild his heart of martial arts. Only then did Ji Fang Ge have the chance to gain enlightenment.


    It could be said that this favor could not be repaid by Ji Fang Ge, so Lin Tian calmly accepted such a huge gift from Ji Fang Ge. His goal was to prevent Ji Fang Ge from having any karmic effects, which would be detrimental to his future cultivation.


    "Master Lin ¡­" Lin Tian muttered to himself, hesitating for a moment. The change in events from before was worthy of the term "master". It was just that Lin Tian was unwilling to have any causal relationship with Ji Fang Ge.


    Initially, White Light had also said that he wanted to acknowledge Lin Tian as his master and learn talisman dao, but Lin Tian had rejected him. He just didn''t want to cause and effect.


    So Lin Tian still indifferently said: "Ji Fang Ge, I accept the kneeling ceremony you gave me. I also accept the words'' Lin shi ''. Our cause and effect will be concluded here. Stand up. We''re even."


    Ji Fangge also felt relieved. He stood up and said, "I am unable to repay Brother Lin''s kindness just now. Please tell me if I can help you in the future. I will go through fire and water, and I will not refuse ¡­"


    "Yes." Lin Tian didn''t hesitate when Ji Fang Ge said these words and directly agreed.


    This was what he deserved.


    Lin Tian did not speak further and turned to look at Yang Qingtian. Yang Qingtian was the referee in charge of supervising the battle between them. Now that Lin Tian had defeated Ji Fang Ge, he was naturally ranked third on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    As for Ji Fang Ge, he was naturally ranked seventh.


    Only then did Yang Qingtian react and he said: "Lin Tian successfully challenged Ji Fang Ge. He is now ranked third on the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­"


    Yang Qingtian was also stunned just now, to the point that he couldn''t react for a long time. Lin Tian''s performance just now, whether it was winning against Ji Fang Ge, his words just now, or even his thunderous roar, it all caused Yang Qingtian to feel extremely dizzy.


    He was completely at a loss as to what to say. This Lin Tian had already surpassed his understanding.


    The same feeling appeared in Zhou Tian Xing, Zhang Wu Ya, and Nan Gong Shi''s hearts. The three of them were filled with regret, at that time, they should have taken Lin Tian as their subordinate no matter what. The talent that Lin Tian displayed had already surpassed everyone else.


    Right now, the white-clothed Holy Son, Ji Yue, was completely subdued by Lin Tian. In that case, in the entire Azure Province, there was no one who could be compared with Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was the number one genius of the Azure Province Academy!


    "Qing Yuan, it''s still as you said. A real Hidden Dragon is about to appear in our Tian Luo!" Only at this moment did the king react and he faintly sighed as he spoke to Gu Qingyuan.


    The Hidden Dragon was in the Abyss, accumulating its power. It only waited one day before soaring into the sky!


    Gu Qing Yuan nodded slightly and sighed in his heart, "Yun Hai has taken in a good disciple. Tian Luo Lake probably won''t be able to hold such a genius sooner or later ¡­"


    At this moment, the domineering words of Lin Tian echoed in Gu Qingyuan''s mind: "So what if you''re a mere Saint? I, Lin Tian, will one day become the supreme God King!"


    Possessing this kind of will, perhaps for a supreme Divine King like Lin Tian, it shouldn''t be too difficult.


    At this moment, Luo Tiannan, the dean of the Royal Academy, Su Qiu Shui, the principal of the Misty Academy, the principal of the Sword Inquisition, and Wang Zhan of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion were all sighing in their hearts.


    Luo Tiannan and Wang Zhan both felt that the Azure Province Academy would soon soar into the heavens.


    Previously, the competition among the five great academies had been between their Royal Academy and the Tiger Wolf Battalion. However, this time, upon seeing this scene, they felt that this Azure Province Academy would probably soon become their strong competitors ¡­


    Su Qiu Shui looked somewhat sorrowfully at Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge. She knew that because of the two of them, the Azure Province Academy would definitely shine.


    On the other hand, the sword fanatic gulped down a large gulp of wine and muttered, "Grr * t, why is there such a talented person in the Azure Province Academy, but when I asked the sword academy, why didn''t such a genius appear ¡­"


    However, at this moment, the deans of the various academies roughly understood why the king would come visit the Azure Province''s Freshmen Rites.


    Maybe the king came for this brat called Lin Tian!


    Beside them, Luo Tiannan, Su Xiao, and Jiang Ruoxi all had unnatural expressions on their faces.


    Before, none of them had looked at Lin Tian, but now, it was Lin Tian who gave them the biggest surprise, causing them to have no choice but to sigh with emotion. They had underestimated Lin Tian.


    On the other hand, Mo Xiaolang licked his lips fiercely, his eyes glimmered, thinking about something ¡­

 C313 Stewed wolf meat

    At this time, the king once again asked Luo Tian Jun: "Sky Lord, what do you think about this Lin Tian?"


    This was already the fifth time the king had asked such a question.


    The first time, Luo Tian Jun did not really care about Lin Tian. He did not even care about Lin Tian at all. His only opponent was Ji Fang Ge.


    The second time was the same.


    On the third time, he said that Lin Tian had some good points, but he didn''t really see Lin Tian as much.


    On the fourth time, Luo Tian Jun said through gritted teeth that if he were to fight to the death, he could also kill Lin Tian in one move.


    This was the fifth time he had asked this question. The king was even more looking forward to his younger brother, whose eyes were high at the top and whose talent was exceptionally high. Just how would he evaluate Lin Tian ¡­


    "Royal brother, are you humiliating me?" Luo Tian Jun said with a bitter smile: "When I was at my peak, Ji Fang Ge was at most fifty years old. Lin Tian defeated Ji Fang Ge, and although it was because Ji Fang Ge had suppressed his own strength, from Lin Tian''s words later on, it could be seen that his strength was far more than that."


    "So?" The king looked at Allheaven with a smile, waiting for his answer.


    "So, even if I use my full strength, compared to Lin Tian, it''s still only fifty percent ¡­" The words that Luo Tiannan said while gritting his teeth ¡­


    "Haha." The king laughed and only shook his head. He did not make any comment...


    On the other hand, Mo Xiaolang coldly said: "Luo Tian Jun, you really think of yourself as someone important. In my eyes, you are just trash, then Lin Tian probably thinks the same as me, he also thinks that you are trash ¡­"


    "You!" Luo Tian was furious.


    "Don''t you find my words unpleasant, look at that Lin Tian is already an expert at the seventh level of the Aurous Core Stage. With his cultivation level of the fifth level of the Aurous Core Stage, he can defeat Ji Fang Ge. If it was you, would you be able to do it?" Mo Xiaolang sneered and said with no mercy: "Honestly speaking, you and him, she will not be put in Lin Tian''s eyes ¡­"


    She was naturally Su Xiao and Jiang Ruoxi when the little wolf mentioned him.


    However, Su Xiao and Jiang Ruoxi didn''t dare to speak out of anger after hearing Mo Xiaolang''s evaluation.


    This madman, it was better not to provoke him.


    Luo Tian Jun was also angry, but he immediately said angrily: "Alright, if you think we''re trash, then you go and fight Lin Tian. I want to see just how strong you, Mo Xiaolang, are, how strong are you to say such words!"


    "How do you know what I''m thinking? I want to fight with Lin Tian. If I meet such a good opponent, how can I not fight with him?" Mo Xiaofei smiled coldly, then licked his lips.


    "Err ¡­" Jiang Ruoxi couldn''t help but shiver. She, Su Xiao, Luo Tiannan, Ji Fangge, and this madman had all taken part in missions before. She knew just how terrifying this madman was.


    Licking his lips was his signature move. Mo Xiaolang was like a demonic wolf. The moment he saw any prey, he would lick his lips ¡­


    Now, this Lin Tian was obviously treated as a prey by Mo Xiaolang.


    But when they thought about how Mo Xiaofei treated his "prey", they all shivered ¡­


    "Little Wolf!" Wang Zhan also heard Mo Xiaolang''s words. He immediately frowned and said to Mo Xiaolang, "This is the Qingzhou Institute. If you dare to be impudent, I will skin you alive!"


    "I skinned him, then skinned him. However, the prey that I like, I must obtain!" Mo Xiaolang did not take Wang Zhan''s threat seriously.


    He did not hesitate. He knew that if he continued to delay it, it would be difficult for him to leave.


    The next moment, Mo Xiaofei rushed to the ring.


    "Little Wolf!" Wang Zhan bellowed.


    However, it was already too late. Mo Xiaofei had already arrived at the arena.


    When the king saw Mo Xiaofei''s actions, he immediately guessed Mo Xiaolang''s intentions. He waved his hand at Wang Zhan, "Wang Zhan, don''t worry about him. I want to see what will happen if this brat meets with the wolf cub ¡­"


    "You''re called Lin Tian?" At this moment, Mo Xiaolang was standing on the stage, twisting his neck and asking in a low and cold voice, which made people tremble in fear.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian had just felt a powerful aura approaching him. He didn''t think that the person sitting in the VIP seats would actually be a genius from another school.


    "Mo Xiaolang, what are you doing?" Ji Fang Ge saw that it was Mo Xiao Lang who had come up on stage, and was immediately shocked. His body had already blocked Lin Tian.


    "Ji Fangge ¡ª ¡ª" Mo Xiaolang spoke coldly, and then said, "Although you have broken through to the Star River Realm and even comprehended a new level, but do you believe that it is still very simple for me to take down your head ¡­"


    "Then let''s give it a try. I want to try out the power of the Milky Way Realm. Do you think you can block the moon in my mirror or the flower in the water?" At this moment, Ji Fangge''s face had also turned cold as he spoke to Mo Xiaolang.


    "Haha, looks like breaking through to the Star River Realm really gave you a lot of confidence. Not bad, not bad, not bad, but, I''m not here for you, you''d better get out of my way as soon as possible, otherwise, I will really kill people ¡­" Mo Xiaofei looked at Ji Fangge maliciously, then smiled.


    "Oh, if they aren''t here for Ji Fang Ge, then they are here for me ¡­" At this moment, Lin Tian also pulled Ji Fangge over and looked at Mo Xiaolang.


    "You are Mo Xiaolang from the Tiger Wolf Camp?" Lin Tian sized up Mo Xiaolang and asked.


    "It''s me." Mo Xiaolang grinned at Lin Tian and revealed his sharp fangs like a demonic wolf. From the looks of it, he seemed like a fangs ¡­


    "He is the infamous Mad Wolf of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion, this is his nickname, even though among his names, he is called Little Wolf, but this guy, he is definitely a madman, I had done missions with him before, this guy, the opponents he looked like, all died miserably in the end, he died from one bite after another ¡­" At this time, Ji Fangge introduced the situation to Lin Tian.


    He had interacted with Mo Xiaolang a lot, so he knew more or less about him ¡­


    "So it''s a mad wolf ¡­" Lin Tian then came to a sudden understanding, but in the next moment, Lin Tian''s words made people not know whether to laugh or cry: "Since you''re crazy, then why are you still here? It would be better to just directly kill the stewed wolf meat ¡­ ¡­"


    "Stewed wolf meat ¡­" Everyone in the audience burst out into laughter. Even Ji Fang was smiling ¡­


    This was because Lin Tian originally had a mocking tone, but when he spoke, he seriously said it.


    "Hehe, Stewing Wolf Meat, you''re the first person who dares to speak to me like that, you''re not bad ¡­" Mo Xiaofei was not angry, but he said with a faint smile.


    Also, he''s still biting. This isn''t a good habit, so just pull out his teeth so that we don''t harm him ¡­" "Lin Tian said to everyone with a serious face.

 C314 Fighting crazy wolf

    "Stewed wolf meat ¡­" Then, he said, "You still have to pull out my teeth. Seems like you have a good appetite, it suits me well. Just based on your two sentences, you''re already much better than the three trash on stage. Of course, this Ji Fangge is also much better..."


    "Mo Xiaolang, you!" Luo Tian Jun, who was on the stage, shouted angrily.


    Needless to say more, he knew who the three pieces of trash on the stage were talking about. It was precisely him, Su Xiao, and Jiang Ruoxi ¡­


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, didn''t have the slightest trace of a smile on his face.


    At this moment, the Immemorial Dragon Symbol between his soul and mind was pulsing non-stop. This was a warning signal, and this was also the second time he had felt such a situation.


    The first time was when he was faced with the attack from the Moon in the Mirror of Heavenly Mystery just now. His Primordial Dragon Tally had warned him. Similarly, the whirlpool in his Dantian was also spinning crazily as it issued a warning.


    And because of that, the whirlpool of dantian forcefully pulled out a sliver of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence and let Lin Tian absorb it.


    Lin Tian also received the help of that bit of dragon blood before successfully defeating Ji Fang Ge.


    But this time, the strange thing was that only the Ancient Dragon Symbol warned him. The whirlpool in his Dantian did not show any signs of activity.


    "Could it be?" Lin Tian was thinking.


    Yang Qingtian was already standing between Mo Xiaolang and Lin Tian.


    "Mo Xiaolang, today is the grand occasion of my Azure Province. You are a member of the Tiger Wolf Battalion, no matter what, it is not your turn to fight. What''s the meaning of coming up on this stage?" Of course Yang Qingtian had heard of the Crazy Wolf from the Tiger Wolf Camp. Therefore, the purpose of Mo Xiaolang coming up on stage was self-evident.


    So Yang Qingtian was naturally incomparably worried about Lin Tian. He did not doubt Lin Tian''s strength, after all, Lin Tian had defeated Ji Fang Ge just now.


    Most importantly, this Mad Wolf was on a completely different level from Ji Fangge.


    The strength of Ji Fangge and this Crazy Wolf might not be much different, but the attitude of the two towards each other was completely opposite. Ji Fangge had his own temperament and would not go all out.


    However, it was different for Mo Xiaolang. If he took a fancy to an opponent, the result would be the same as death.


    Like this, he was naturally incomparably worried about Lin Tian''s safety.


    "Old man, I advise you to get out of my way. My patience is limited, otherwise, don''t blame me for going against my superiors!" Mo Xiaofei twisted his neck, adjusting his strength to its peak state.


    "Azure Sky, get out of my way." At this time, before Yang Qingtian could speak, Gu Qingyuan, who was sitting in the VIP seats, spoke. His tone was flat, without a single trace of emotion.


    Hearing Gu Qingyuan''s words, Yang Qingtian''s face flashed with a trace of struggle, but in the end he still stepped aside.


    Lin Tian who was at the side also returned to his senses at this time. He then walked in front of Yang Qingtian: "Dean, don''t worry. This mad wolf should be beaten to death by me!"


    Saying this, Lin Tian even shot a look at Ji Fang Ge.


    Ji Fangge understood immediately, and pulled Yang Qingtian off the stage.


    After the arena was cleared, only Lin Tian and Mo Xiaolang were left.


    "Brat, I am not as hypocritical as that Ji Fangge, I will not be able to suppress my own realm, I will not suppress my own realm, and prey that I fancy, I will spare no effort, no matter what methods I use, my ultimate goal is to kill my prey, you must be careful ¡­" Mo Xiaolang said to Lin Tian with a sinister smile.


    "Yeah, even if you go all out, you''re still no match for me." Lin Tian gave a carefree smile, but the strength in his body had been adjusted to its peak state.


    Mo Xiaolang hadn''t even made a move and was already able to use his Ancient Dragon Talisman to warn him of danger. Thinking about it, he definitely wasn''t an easy person. Lin Tian couldn''t help but be careful.


    "Roar!" In the next moment, a strange thing happened. Mo Xiaolang''s body immediately turned into that of a white demon wolf, and his hands, at this moment, had already turned into the front claws of a wolf, glowing with a cold light, incomparably sharp.


    However, the head of Mo Xiaolang was still the head of a human. With a loud roar, he turned into a monster with a wolfman body.


    But in the next moment, Mo Xiaolang suddenly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    It was the first time Lin Tian had encountered such a situation. He had never seen a method of attack like Mo Xiaolang. Could it be that Mo Xiaolang also had a beast spirit body?


    He had fought against a beast spirit before, and that was Wang Tiangang. Now, looking at Mo Xiaolang''s methods, he actually had some imagination towards Wang Tiangang ¡­


    This is not a Spiritual Beast. An attack from a Spiritual Beast is just an imitation of a Demonic Beast''s spirit. It is not really transforming into a Demonic Beast ¡­" "At this time, Lin Tian''s Divine Palace suddenly throbbed, and Horned Demon''s voice came.


    "Brat, this is a demonic technique. Be careful, this Mo Xiaolang has something special about him ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian immediately felt a bit of a difference. This was the first time he had heard the Horned Demon''s evaluation.


    "However, even if this is the case, so what? I am a dragon clan, and an ancestral dragon''s inheritance. How could I possibly fear a little wolf?" Lin Tian did not move. Facing Mo Xiaolang''s attack, he did not have any fear and directly went forward to face it.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian waved the Dragon Scale Spear, directly using the first move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb and went head on against Mo Xiaolang.


    Mo Xiaolang didn''t retreat at all. Facing Lin Tian''s powerful spear, he still charged straight at him.


    "Kacha, kacha." Accompanied by two loud sounds, Mo Xiaolang''s body actually directly withstood the attack of Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear.


    When the tip of the spear touched Mo Xiaofei''s body, it actually created a strong spark.


    Seeing this situation, Lin Tian felt even more terrified.


    Mo Xiaolang''s body was like a steel plate, incomparably tough. A spiritual tool like the Dragon Scale Spear had only made a few sparks when it hit his body.


    Not only that, Lin Tian''s spear had not been able to injure Mo Xiaolang, and he had even been hit by Mo Xiaolang. He had even lost some of his grip on the Dragonscale Spear.


    Lin Tian did not dare to be slow as he once again used the Sky Falling Palm, directly striking towards Mo Xiaolang.


    But even so, both of these methods were unable to stop Mo Xiaolang''s advance. At this moment, Mo Xiaolang had already arrived in front of Lin Tian in a crazed manner.


    "Bang!" At this moment, Mo Xiaolang''s body forcefully collided with Lin Tian''s body.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian also discovered that the strength of his body that he had relied on as a consummate technique had already been completely reduced to useless.


    This was because the toughness of Mo Xiaolang''s body was not only not weaker than his, but he was also in the Star River Realm, which was a little stronger than Lin Tian.


    As a result, when Mo Xiaolang''s physical strength clashed with Lin Tian''s, he was not at a disadvantage at all.


    Even Lin Tian had suffered a hidden loss because of Mo Xiaolang.


    Lin Tian''s figure explosively retreated a dozen steps before he managed to stabilize his body. But even so, his qi and blood surged a little when he collided with Mo Xiaolang''s previous attack.


    However, this situation didn''t last for long. The whirlpool in his dantian circulated rapidly and forcefully suppressed the surging blood energy.


    On the other hand, after colliding with Lin Tian, Mo Xiaolang did not retreat a single step. Instead, he steadily stood still ¡­

 C315 Physical contest

    When they saw this situation, everyone below the arena widened their eyes. In the next moment, everyone could no longer remain calm ¡­


    Especially those who knew Lin Tian''s background, their faces were full of fear.


    They all knew that having a strong fleshly body was Lin Tian''s trump card and also his trump card. But now, the appearance of the even more terrifying Mo Xiaolang had broken the legend of Lin Tian''s invincible physical body.


    Because of the previous physical clash, Lin Tian had clearly been at a disadvantage.


    That also proved that Mo Xiaolang''s physical body was even more terrifying than Lin Tian''s physical body. It could even be said that it was much more terrifying ¡­


    The expressions of the people in the VIP seats also changed, especially the king. Originally, there was no need for this battle, because it was a competition between the Azure Province Academy and the other academies.


    But now, he was regretting his decision to not let Mo Xiaofei come up.


    Even the physical strength that this brat, Lin Tian, relied on as his ultimate technique, was not a match for Mo Xiaolang. Adding his strength, he was not a match for Mo Xiaolang at all.


    How could such a battle continue? Lin Tian wasn''t completely crushed, and he might even be injured ¡­


    This was not what the king wanted to see, no matter if Lin Tian was injured, or Mo Xiaolang was injured, they were all losses for the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    His expression changed again and again. He was about to call for a halt.


    But Gu Qingyuan was still calm as he said to the king: "The king does not need to worry too much. Lin Tian is full of spirit, letting Little Wolf rub his spirit is also good. Moreover, this is only the first move, Lin Tian is not well, Little Wolf might not feel well either ¡­ ¡­"


    The king was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes suddenly froze as he seemed to be considering Gu Qingyuan''s words.


    Gu Qingyuan was right. After clashing with Lin Tian, Mo Xiaolang couldn''t bear it either ¡­


    His body was currently trembling violently. However, with his current state as a demonic wolf, no one could see what was wrong with him.


    "How can the strength of this kid''s fleshly body be so terrifying?" At this moment, Mo Xiaolang was also extremely shocked in his heart.


    When he hit Lin Tian''s body just now, he felt that his wolf skin was in pain. In the end, he forcefully controlled his body and did not let his body retreat. This was also the reason why he was able to stand firmly on the spot ¡­


    But it was very clear that this Lin Tian was bearing more power than him. Lin Tian was not his opponent with the strength of his physical body!


    Thinking of this, Mo Xiaolang no longer hesitated, dragging his huge body, and suddenly pounced towards Lin Tian.


    "Godslayer Shuttle, go!" At the same time, Lin Tian also fiercely attacked.


    In his Divine Mansion, he had just condensed the power of the Divine Punisher Shuttle. Now, with the momentum accumulated, countless sharp shuttle-shaped arrows shot out towards Mo Xiaolang at lightning speed.


    "The strength of a Symbol Master?" Mo Xiaofei sneered, and then laughed out loud: "The strength of a Symbol Master is indeed very formidable, but unfortunately, it is useless for me!"


    After saying this, that shuttle shaped arrow had completely landed on Mo Xiaofei''s body. However, he was not injured in the slightest, as if he had not been attacked by that power at all.


    This was the second time that the Divine Punisher Shuttle''s power had lost its effectiveness. Previously, it was against Su Tian.


    Su Tian had said that he did not have a soul. Naturally, the attack from his mental strength was useless against him.


    But what about this Mo Xiaolang?


    Didn''t he have a soul?


    Without waiting for Lin Tian to understand this question, Mo Xiaolang''s body had already appeared in front of Lin Tian.


    "Bang bang!" Another shocking explosion rang out as Mo Xiaolang''s body and Lin Tian''s body collided once again.


    But this time, Lin Tian''s body only retreated a few steps before stabilizing.


    On the other hand, Mo Xiaolang''s body shook slightly. He was no longer like he was before. He was still holding himself in place.


    After this change, Lin Tian''s heart was greatly shaken. He had originally thought that Mo Xiaolang''s physical strength was much stronger than his.


    But from the looks of it, it was not the case at all. This Mo Xiaolang was not as terrifying as Lin Tian had imagined.


    The first time they had met, perhaps the gap between the two had seemed very large, but the second time it had revealed a lot of problems.


    One must know that his strength was only at the seventh level of the Golden Core Stage. But Mo Xiaolang, he was a true first level Star River expert!


    There was a difference of three whole realms between the two of them.


    In other words, the reason why Mo Xiaolang was able to gain the upper hand against Lin Tian was entirely because Mo Xiaolang was slightly stronger than Lin Tian.


    After all, Lin Tian was fighting with a cultivation level higher.


    But this was what Lin Tian wasn''t worried about the most. What he needed to do next was to compete in endurance. Lin Tian could completely persevere ¡­


    Thinking to this point, Lin Tian no longer hesitated. This time, without waiting for Mo Xiaolang to make a move, Lin Tian made the first move.


    "God of Slaughter!" Lin Tian madly threw out another spear attack. Of course, at the same time he threw it out, Lin Tian''s body also fiercely charged towards Mo Xiao Lang.


    "Bang bang!" The power of one spear mixed with the strength of Lin Tian''s physical body collided. On Mo Xiaolang''s body, a loud vibration was once again released.


    Lin Tian''s body and Mo Xiaolang''s body separated once again.


    This time, Lin Tian only took three steps back and stabilized his body. However, that Mo Xiaolang was finally unable to stand firm on his own body.


    He took a step back and steadied his body.


    Seeing this situation, Lin Tian immediately calmed down and once again crazily rushed at Mo Xiaolang.


    "Bang bang!"


    "Bang bang bang!"


    The clash between the two began to grow more and more intense.


    However, after a few collisions, Mo Xiaofei immediately felt that something was wrong.


    Lin Tian''s body recovery speed was much faster than he had imagined. After Lin Tian exchanged a blow with him, he could quickly recover, but Mo Xiaolang did not have such a strong recovery speed. After exchanging blows, he would need a very long time to recover.


    At first, he was able to stabilize his body, but later, he was unable to. He needed time to regain his strength.


    After exchanging several times like this, Mo Xiaolang''s face turned malevolent. He understood in his heart that if this continued, he would probably be directly smashed to pieces by Lin Tian in a physical contest ¡­


    However, not only was his physical body very strong, Mo Xiaolang had even more powerful means and trump cards to play in the process.


    So, why did he need to use this method?


    Thinking of this, Mo Xiaolang suddenly felt enlightened. He no longer hesitated and roared out again.


    Following Mo Xiaofei''s roar, his originally white wolf body turned red again.


    It was a blood-red color. Along with the transformation of Mo Xiaolang, his eyes also turned blood-red.


    The aura around his body also began to become sharp and violent.


    "Mad Wolf is going crazy, that brat Lin Tian is going to be in danger ¡­ ¡­" At this moment, the king at the honored guest''s table began to grow serious.


    "Lin Tian, be careful. He''s going crazy. This is his trump card. It''s called the Blood Wolf Transformation!" At this moment, Ji Fangge, who was below the stage, spoke up as well.


    After Ji Fangge finished his sentence, Mo Xiaolang also let out a furious roar.


    At this moment, his head, which was originally a human head, had now turned into a huge wolf head!


    It was the head of a blood-colored wolf that was emitting a dangerous aura and a bloodthirsty gaze!

 C316 Blood wolf transformation

    "Blood Wolf Transformation?" Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brows. Although he didn''t know what sort of method Mo Xiaolang had used to transform into a Blood Wolf, he could tell from Ji Fang Ge''s slightly fearful tone that this method of attack was definitely not simple.


    Judging from his tone, this Blood Wolf Transformation was Mo Xiaofei''s trump card, which was why he was called the "Crazy Wolf"!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian naturally did not dare to be slow. Facing such a strong enemy, his whirlpool of Dantian naturally warned him and began to revolve crazily. From this, the Yuan Power in his body quickly gathered and then his entire body was adjusted to its peak condition.


    He held the dragon scale spear tightly in his hands, waiting for Mo Xiaolang to make the first move.


    The next moment, when Mo Xiaofei had finished adjusting his strength, he made his move.


    "Blood Wolf Claw!" From within Mo Xiaolang''s blood-red wolf head, he let out a human voice before fiercely pouncing towards Lin Tian.


    "Shua!" A huge wolf claw immediately rushed towards Lin Tian like a mountain crushing down.


    The blood-red wolf claw emitted an extremely large amount of bloodlust. This claw''s power could kill Lin Tian at any time!


    "An afterimage!" Lin Tian suddenly brandished the dragon scale spear and immediately shot it towards Mo Xiaolang. Mo Xiaolang''s claw did not stop at all, directly sending Lin Tian''s dragon scale spear flying with a slap. The shadow of the spear that was swung out was also scattered by Mo Xiaolang.


    However, the Blood Wolf Claw paused for a moment because of this.


    This bought Lin Tian some time, and he immediately used the God Transforming Steps to shift away. In the blink of an eye, he dodged to the side, barely dodging Mo Xiaolang''s Blood Wolf Claw ¡­


    Without any hesitation, he shouted in a low voice, "What, weren''t you awe-inspiring just now? Are you only capable of running away now?"


    As he said this, he attacked again.


    Only this time, he said it out loud!


    Yes, it was the exit.


    At this moment, Mo Xiaolang''s enormous wolf head suddenly spewed out a mouthful of fire energy.


    "Heavenly Wolf Flame!" A huge flame power immediately rushed towards Lin Tian.


    As the fire energy neared, Lin Tian Deng immediately felt a strong burning sensation, quickly surging towards him.


    Accompanying the strong burning sensation, Lin Tian suddenly felt a slight movement on his left arm.


    In the next moment, a wave of ice-cold feeling suddenly came from his left arm.


    "Iceworm!" Immediately, Lin Tian came back to his senses.


    He didn''t expect that after feeling the power of the flames, the Ice Silkworm on his left hand actually had a sliver of the intent of protecting its master. In the blink of an eye, a wave of cold energy came out to protect Lin Tian.


    With the ice-cold power provided by the Icy Jade Silkworm, Lin Tian instantly felt the burning sensation disappear. And at this time, something strange also happened.


    The strong flame energy once it got close to Lin Tian would be immediately cut off by the cold energy on Lin Tian''s body. Although the flame energy was strong, it was useless against Lin Tian.


    Seeing that the Heavenly Wolf Flame was useless against Lin Tian, Mo Xiaolang was even more surprised. This boy called Lin Tian actually had a hidden card in his hand that could destroy his Heavenly Wolf Flame!


    "Roar!" Mo Xiaolang roared again, he fiercely rushed towards Lin Tian, unexpectedly other methods were unable to do anything to him, then he could only adopt the simplest and most crude method, which was to forcefully meet force with force.


    Mo Xiaolang roared again, his claw once again headed towards Lin Tian.


    This time, Mo Xiaofei didn''t use any martial arts, but a real power attack.


    Mo Xiaolang, who had used the Blood Wolf Transformation, was extremely fast. Even if Lin Tian had the God Transforming Steps, he was still unable to compare to this speed.


    So, in the next moment, that claw arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had no way of dodging, he had actually used his own body to block the attack.


    "Rip!" With a sound, the wolf claw directly tore apart Lin Tian''s clothes. Even though Lin Tian''s body was incomparably strong, in the end, Lin Tian was still scratched by the power of the claw and left behind a huge bloody scar.


    But soon, that line of blood rapidly faded as it began to scab and shed, returning to its previous state.


    This was the terrifying thing about Lin Tian. It was his extremely strong recovery speed.


    Of course, Lin Tian could not receive a beating for no reason at all. He also threw out a punch.


    It wasn''t any other martial art, but the Great Manifestation Fist that he hadn''t displayed for a long time!


    For one, he was facing an opponent that was getting stronger and stronger. Since Lin Tian had more powerful methods, he naturally wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible and not drag it on. And the essence of the Great Development Fist was its power, but the power of the fist needed to be tempered.


    Secondly, it was because the Great Fortune Fist had a late stage strength that required the user to use the body to withstand the opponent''s attack. Only then could the Great Fortune Fist have a miraculous effect.


    Lin Tian had no other choice but to use his body to resist the attacks, in order to buy himself more time.


    His fleshly body was recovering very quickly, and this was what he relied on the most!


    He was going to use his own body to fight Mo Xiaolang!


    Seeing that his attack failed, Mo Xiaofei did not give up. Instead, he attacked again.


    Another claw once again grabbed at Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian once again sent out another Great Destiny Fist.


    After this cycle, Lin Tian''s body was already completely covered in the bloody marks left behind by Mo Xiaolang''s wolf claw. No matter how strong Lin Tian''s recovery speed was, it still couldn''t compare to Mo Xiaolang''s attack speed.


    But in such a long period of time, Lin Tian had also sent out over a hundred punches.


    At the last moment, Lin Tian finally no longer hesitated.


    This time, he didn''t continue to bear the attacks of Mo Xiaolang. Instead, he used the God Transforming Steps to retreat several steps before he managed to stabilize his body.


    But the next moment, Mo Xiaofei also came forward, "Why, this is unbearable. Didn''t you just use your own body to compete with me? But, it''s strange, why did you blast me hundreds of times, but I didn''t react at all?"


    At the end, Mo Xiaofei burst into laughter.


    Earlier, he thought that when Lin Tian fought with him, he still had some hidden trump card, which was why he was fighting with him head on. But he didn''t expect that Lin Tian would blast him with a hundred punches, but they weren''t painful nor itchy.


    "No reaction at all?" Lin Tian''s eyes were currently fixed diagonally on Mo Xiaolang, and the corners of his mouth formed a strange arc.


    "Hmm?" Mo Xiaolang saw the smile on the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth, and suddenly felt that something wasn''t right.


    But by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.


    Lin Tian shouted out in a nearly berserk manner: "Explode, explode, explode!"


    The next moment, Mo Xiaofei felt endless power of his fist power hidden around his body.


    The moment Lin Tian roared out, the power of the fist force completely exploded out.


    Waves of violent power exploded on Mo Xiaolang''s body.


    AHH!" "At this time, Mo Xiaofei let out a series of screams, followed by furious roars. However, all of these were useless. His body was sent flying and he tumbled to the side of the stage.


    Over a hundred fists of Great Destiny Fist and one Great Destiny Fist all had nine punches of force. These hundred punches, had a total of a thousand punches of force, even though Lin Tian was only at the seventh level of the Aurous Core stage, but when the thousand punches landed on Mo Xiaolang, he could not withstand them ¡­

 C317 Gu qingyuan made his move!

    This time, Lin Tian did not hesitate. While he was sick, he wanted his life!


    In the next moment, the dragon scale spear whizzed out like a dragon emerging from the sea, piercing the blood wolf''s chest.


    "No!"


    "Stop!"


    But at this time, in the VIP seats, the king and that Wang Zhan both shouted out.


    But it was too late. Lin Tian''s spear had already pierced into Mo Xiaolang''s chest.


    Blood spurted out and stained the entire arena red.


    At the same time, Mo Xiaolang, who was originally a huge blood-red wolf, had also returned to his human form.


    Lin Tian took out the dragon scale spear and stood up, quietly looking at Mo Xiaolang who had changed back into his human form.


    At this moment, Mo Xiaolang was still looking unhappily at Lin Tian. The look in his eyes was as though he wanted to swallow Lin Tian whole.


    But there was a smile on Lin Tian''s lips as he pointed a spear at Mo Xiaolang''s throat: "Are you convinced?"


    "No... "Concede..." Mo Xiaofei said with difficulty.


    "Unconvinced?" Lin Tian''s spear tip immediately stabbed forward an inch. From Mo Xiaolang''s throat, another stream of blood immediately splashed out.


    "I told you to stop!" Right at this time, Wang Zhan in the VIP seats couldn''t hold it in any longer and directly flew up and sent a palm towards Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian immediately felt a sense of danger. Without thinking, he turned and disappeared.


    In the next moment, Wang Zhan''s palm attack landed on the arena.


    "Boom, boom, boom!" The might of that palm was incomparably terrifying. After it landed on the arena, the arena was immediately unable to endure the terrifying force. In the blink of an eye, it was completely split into two halves.


    Seeing this situation, Lin Tian Deng, who was standing not too far away, felt a lingering fear in his heart. Of course, what was more frightening was his anger!


    "Old thing, you want to kill me?" Lin Tian looked coldly at Wang Zhan, his teeth chattering faintly.


    He clenched the dragon scale spear in his hand. If it wasn''t for the fact that he was already on guard and had used his Soul Formation step to its limit, even if he was a bit slower, he would have ended up in the same situation as that ring.


    At this moment, the king and Gu Qingyuan also rushed to the front of the stage.


    "Wang Zhan, you!" The king angrily pointed at Wang Zhan''s nose. Just as he was about to curse, Gu Qingyuan suddenly erupted from behind him.


    At this moment, the aura from Gu Qing Yuan''s body increased bit by bit. His face, which was originally filled with the aura of death, now had veins bulging. It was clear that he was extremely angry.


    "Qingzhou, Gu Qingyuan, please advise me, General Wang!" Gu Qingyuan spoke indifferently. However, his tone contained an unspeakable killing intent and fury.


    Gu Qingyuan also had some lingering fear just now. It was because Lin Tian had a life saving technique that he was able to avoid the killing intent.


    He naturally knew that Wang Zhan was anxious to save his disciple and cared about Mo Xiaolang. However, he never expected that Wang Zhan would disregard his status and directly bully the weak.


    Do you really think that he, Gu Qingyuan, doesn''t exist?


    To make a move on a junior, he really had the nerve to do so!


    After all, Lin Tian was his disciple''s grandson. Although he did not express it, in his heart, he was incomparably concerned about this disciple of his. Otherwise, he would not pay so much attention to Lin Tian''s every move.


    At this moment, the rage in his heart had reached its peak, he was actually going to challenge the king directly.


    "Qing Yuan!" The king was about to say something.


    However, Gu Qingyuan abruptly interrupted him. "Your Majesty, you know my temper ¡­"


    Gu Qingyuan didn''t continue speaking, but the king sighed and moved out of the way.


    Su Qiu Shui, Jian Chi, and Luo Tiannan all walked forward.


    However, when they saw the furious Gu Qingyuan, no one dared to step forward to persuade him. They did not doubt that if they tried to persuade him, Gu Qingyuan would be the first to vent his anger on them. No one wanted to make Gu Qingyuan unhappy ¡­


    "Green Plains Gu Qingyuan, please advise me, General Wang!" Gu Qingyuan walked up to Wang Zhan as he spoke.


    "Gu Qingyuan, are you blind? Did you not see that that brat almost killed Little Wolf!" At this moment, Wang Zhan also realized that what he did just now was inappropriate. However, he still couldn''t suppress his fury as he shouted at Gu Qingyuan.


    "Green Plains Gu Qingyuan, please advise me, General Wang!" Gu Qingyuan didn''t say anything more.


    "Gu Qingyuan, do you really think I''m afraid of you?!" At this moment, Wang Zhan had also been forced into a rage by Gu Qingyuan.


    "Green Plains Gu Qingyuan, please advise me, General Wang!"


    "Gu Qingyuan, don''t go too far!"


    "Green Plains Gu Qingyuan, please advise me, General Wang!" Gu Qingyuan said with an expressionless face.


    "Alright, alright, since you want to fight for me, then I will have to experience the strength of the number one expert in Tian Luo!" At this moment, Wang Zhan''s aura had completely erupted.


    Wang Zhan''s appearance rapidly aged and his face was filled with an aura of death.


    "Wang Zhan, Wang Zhan is actually a Death Profound Realm expert!" Just at this moment, Su Qiu Shui, Jian Chi, and Luo Tiannan couldn''t help but cry out.


    That''s right, Wang Zhan was also a Death Profound Realm expert.


    In Tian Luo Country, the most powerful expert was Gu Qing Yuan, because Gu Qing Yuan had recently stepped into the second level of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    However, he never expected that Wang Zhan had also stepped into the Nascent Profound Realm.


    Above the Astral Realm was the Life and Death Realm.


    Since the Life and Death Realm required one to open the profound entrances to life and death, it was also known as the Life and Death Realm.


    The fourth level of the Profound Life Stage and the fifth level of the Nascent Profound Realm, combined together were called the ninth level of the Life and Death Stage.


    The king, Su Qiu Shui, Jian Chi, Luo Tiannan, these top experts were all only Profound Life stage experts.


    But who would have thought that other than Gu Qingyuan, Wang Zhan had also stepped into the Nascent Profound Realm!


    It seemed that Wang Zhan had been hiding his strength for a long time.


    When Gu Qingyuan saw Wang Zhan''s aura skyrocket, he wasn''t surprised. Instead, he quietly waited until Wang Zhan''s aura had completely stabilized.


    Gu Qingyuan then opened his mouth and said: "General Wang, this Gu, is about to make a move ¡­"


    Gu Qingyuan dragged his last sentence for a long time. However, in the next moment, Gu Qingyuan suddenly attacked.


    Boom!" Gu Qingyuan ferociously struck out towards Wang Zhan.


    However, the might of this palm strike seemed to contain the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Its might was extremely terrifying, and its speed was like lightning. In an instant, it rushed towards Wang Zhan.


    "Bang bang!" Wang Zhan also sent out a palm strike without admitting defeat.


    However, the instant the two palms collided, Wang Zhan''s body flew out like a kite with its string cut and crashed into the ground.


    "This palm, I''ll return it to you ¡­" At this moment, Gu Qingyuan''s voice faintly sounded.

 C318 Gu qingyuan of the past

    Everyone was shocked as they looked at Gu Qingyuan with faces full of disbelief.


    None of them had thought that Gu Qingyuan, who normally did not seem like a mountain and did not reveal any water, would actually be so strong!


    Those students might not be clear about this difference, but the king, Luo Tiannan, and the others were well aware of it.


    Wang Zhan was also a Death Profound Realm expert, but facing Gu Qingyuan, he did not even have the strength to retaliate ¡­


    With one palm, Gu Qingyuan had defeated him with one palm.


    At this moment, Wang Zhan had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had never thought that he would hide the fact that he had broken through to the Nascent Profound Realm, precisely because he wanted to shock everyone in the academy during the exchange.


    Facing Gu Qingyuan who was similarly at the Nascent Profound Realm, he actually couldn''t even withstand a single palm from him ¡­


    At this time, Mo Xiaofei was also lying on the ground, dying. Wang Zhan couldn''t care less as he got up and went to Mo Xiaofei''s side.


    He carefully checked the current situation of Mo Xiaolang and let out a long sigh of relief. He had only suffered superficial wounds. Although they looked very serious, they were actually not that serious. He could recover after a short period of rest.


    At this moment, Wang Zhan also understood why Gu Qingyuan was so angry. Lin Tian had a bottom line, he didn''t want to kill Mo Xiaolang, but in his desperation, he had actually almost killed Lin Tian ¡­


    As he thought of this, Wang Zhan felt ashamed and ashamed. He then said to the king in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I ¡­"


    "I can understand General Wang''s eagerness to protect his calf, of course ¡­" The king waved his hand, not allowing Wang Zhan to continue.


    Wang Zhan felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. After bowing to the king, he grabbed Mo Xiaofei and left ¡­


    Lin Tian had just recovered his senses. To be honest, he hadn''t thought that Gu Qingyuan would be so strong ¡­


    However, Gu Qingyuan''s actions made Lin Tian''s heart feel waves of warmth.


    Gu Qingyuan was not in vain. It seemed that back then, his master, Xiao Yunhai, was right. Gu Qing Yuan''s face was cold and warm, and he was extremely protective of his disciple.


    Lin Tian was fine this time. He stood up for Lin Tian and didn''t even hesitate to tear off the face. Back then when he defeated Wang Zhan, he helped Lin Tian return the palm strike.


    One must know that Wang Zhan was one of the pillars of Tian Luo. He was the Battalion Commander of the Tigers, the leader of the Heavenly Tiger Wolf Legion, and a general of the army. He could be said to be one of the few truly powerful people in Tian Luo Kingdom.


    But even so, Gu Qingyuan still made a move in front of everyone. He didn''t even give the king face, he just wanted to make a move and help Lin Tian ask for an explanation ¡­ ¡­


    Of course, Lin Tian also felt Gu Qingyuan''s strength.


    He also completely understood the importance of becoming stronger.


    His own strength is still weak. At a critical moment, he still needs his grandmaster to help him ¡­


    Without waiting for Lin Tian to think, Gu Qingyuan had already arrived in front of Lin Tian. He didn''t say anything unnecessary and only asked: "Are you okay?"


    Lin Tian shook his head and then took a deep breath. He then bowed and said: "Many thanks to Martial Ancestor ¡­."


    This was the first time that Lin Tian had made Gu Qing Yuan his Martial Ancestor. Before this, Lin Tian had always called him ''Lord Dean''.


    This time, Gu Qingyuan didn''t say anything and just nodded his head. Then, he returned to the VIP seats and said to Yang Qingtian, who was still in a daze: "What are you still standing there for, the Clear Sky Challenge Competition, continue!"


    Only then did Yang Qingtian come back to his senses. Without further ado, he continued to arrange for the next Clear Sky Challenge Competition.


    The Clear Sky Challenge Competition was a tournament that all new students had the right to participate in.


    Earlier, only Lin Tian had participated in the Challenger League.


    It was just that too many accidents had happened to Wang Tian Fang, who was the first to challenge Lin Tian, and Ji Fang Ge, who challenged him later.


    The next step was naturally to continue on.


    At this moment, Gu Qingyuan had already returned to his seat, but his heart couldn''t get over it. It was Lin Tian who called him grandmaster ¡­


    Thinking back to the Xiao Yunhai of the past, then thinking again about the current Lin Tian.


    Gu Qingyuan didn''t know why, but the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. "Yunhai, Yunhai, you''ve done too many stupid things in your life, but the only thing you''ve done right is that you have a good disciple!"


    "Looking at you smiling, an old face is almost bursting with laughter ¡­" At this time, the king''s cold voice sounded out.


    Only then did Gu Qingyuan regain his senses and restrain his smile.


    "What are you pretending for? I say, old thing, when did you become so powerful and break through again?" The king could not help but ask.


    Just now, when Wang Zhan had broken through to the Nascent Profound Realm, the king was shocked. But what shocked him even more was Gu Qingyuan''s strength.


    Gu Qingyuan''s strength, how did it suddenly become so strong? It was simply beyond the king''s imagination.


    "Un, I have improved recently ¡­" Gu Qingyuan indifferently replied.


    "You''ve advanced yet again, have you reached the Manifestation stage?" The king stared at Gu Qingyuan and asked.


    On the path of martial arts, Qi Cultivating, Qi Sea, Jindan, Stellar River, Life and Death, and Fortune.


    At this moment, Gu Qing Yuan was already at the Death Profound Realm. If he were to advance, wouldn''t he have reached the stage of seizing fortune on the path of martial arts?


    Seizing the good fortune, that was truly an expert''s realm. In the past hundred years of Tian Luo, there had not been a single Manifestation practitioner.


    Could it be that Gu Qingyuan was going to break this long sealed history?


    Gu Qingyuan shook his head, but he did not deny it. Instead, he said with a meaningful tone, "Not yet. I still need some enlightenment ¡­"


    The king immediately understood that Gu Qing Yuan was only one level away from reaching the Manifestation stage.


    When he thought about this, the king could not help but sigh, and then said: "Qing Yuan, you have to hurry up, the battle is at hand, and your strength will soon affect my Tian Luo ranking. You have to know, my Tian Luo Country, should have it for a very long time, and it has not been ranked among the thousand kingdoms for a long time.


    Gu Qingyuan nodded indifferently, but he did not reply.


    The king found it hard to calm down.


    The relationship between Gu Qingyuan and him was very deep. The previous Gu Qingyuan was just a nameless brat. When the king was the crown prince, he was willing to lower his status to meet Gu Qingyuan because he was attracted by Gu Qingyuan''s presence.


    However, up to the age of forty, Gu Qingyuan''s cultivation was neither high nor low. He was mediocre and had never shown any talent. That was why he was able to become the principal of Sky Dragon Academy in the most remote and weak city in the Azure Province, Sky Dragon City.


    After that, the first thing the king did after he ascended the throne was to have Gu Qingyuan come to the Royal Capital as his aide.


    But sadly, when the king spoke of this matter, he actually met with opposition from everyone.


    The reason for his opposition was simple. Gu Qingyuan was too weak.


    The king had just ascended the throne, so naturally, he didn''t dare to press him too hard. The entire imperial court was against him, so there was nothing he could do.


    Later on, Gu Qingyuan didn''t know why, but he heard of this matter.


    After that, from the third level of the Golden Core Stage, he broke through to the ninth level of the Astral River and crossed an entire realm in a single day. After that, he directly headed towards the Royal Capital.


    With his strength at the ninth level of the Milky Way Realm, he had not lost a single time when he challenged all the experts.


    Then, he even pointed to the palace and locked up in the golden silk cage. There was a Great Sun Golden Bird that he used to admire, and he said to the entire imperial court, "This bird is a bird in a cage, and its purpose in the cage is to hide. This bird does not cry, but instead flies into the sky with a single cry!"


    As he spoke, Gu Qingyuan opened the golden silk cage and released the Great Sun Golden Bird. The bird''s cry was loud, and the sound lingered for three days. Afterwards, it directly flew into the sky and spread its wings, covering the entire sky!


    Because of this, Gu Qingyuan''s name shook the heavens, becoming everyone''s role model.


    Only then did everyone know that Gu Qingyuan was a true late bloomer. Forty years of hibernation was just for one move, soaring into the sky!


    Gu Qingyuan who was at the 9th level of the Star River Realm had become a top-level expert of Tian Luo. He was also appointed by the Emperor as the headmaster of the Azure Continent Academy.


    He hadn''t thought that the high-spirited king would be reaching his end at this very moment. It was only by a coincidence that he was able to make a breakthrough at the last moment, allowing him to last for so long.


    However, he did not expect that Gu Qing Yuan had already become the number one expert of Tian Luo. Furthermore, he was about to break through to the Manifestation stage.


    Thinking of this, the king couldn''t help but sigh ¡­

 C319 End of the grand ceremony

    This episode did not affect the enthusiasm of the new students.


    This half a year of time had made them experience quite a lot. Of course, the most important thing was that they had already made significant progress. As for how they were able to see progress, it was, of course, to be tested during battle.


    Moreover, whether it was Lin Tian defeating Wang Tian Fang, or Ji Fang Ge, or defeating Mo Xiao Lang, plus Gu Qing Yuan repelling Wang Zhan with a single palm, everyone''s fighting spirit was completely roused.


    Therefore, this year''s Green Cloud Challenge Competition could be said to be exceptionally intense.


    Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er were all outstanding contestants in the Challenge Competition.


    Especially Gu Yan''er. Her ''Woeful Poison Body'' had completely erupted with the strength that she should have.


    She directly selected a tenth ranked expert on the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    In the end, he won by relying on the strength of the poison that was emitted from the ''Woeful Poison Body''.


    Both Fang Xing and Du Feng had also risen to the top twenty of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Fang Xing, Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, and Lin Tian, these four students were all students of the Northern Academy. Fang Xing, Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, and Lin Tian, these four students were all students of the Northern Academy, and they all entered the top twenty of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    The Northern Courtyard was fated to completely shine through the entire Azure Province after this grand ceremony.


    Yang Qingtian was already grinning from ear to ear.


    At the same time, in the VIP seats, Su Qiu Shui, Luo Tian Nan, and that sword fanatic were all in no mood to continue sitting.


    Actually, when they saw Lin Tian defeat Mo Xiaolang who was at the first level of the Star River Realm with his seventh level of the Aurous Core Stage just now, they did not even want to sit down.


    However, Gu Qingyuan''s earlier display of might had stunned everyone.


    But now, after sitting down and watching for a long time, the three of them were no longer willing to sit down. Sitting here was like sitting on pins and needles!


    First, he got a student as monstrous as Lin Tian. Whether it was Lin Tian letting the ancient bell ring twice or Lin Tian''s powerful battle strength that he displayed afterwards, all of these made them sigh with emotion. From now on, the Azure Province Academy would most likely rise again.


    In addition, right now, even though Ji Fangge''s Sacred Heart was broken, he was able to rebuild his heart of martial arts. His current strength was at least a hundred times more terrifying than before.


    Moreover, without the restriction of the Sacred Heart, Ji Fangge''s future could be confirmed!


    So, this way, the entire Azure Province would have two top geniuses.


    Moreover, the current Ji Fangge had already reached the first level of the Milky Way Realm. The strongest genius in their academy, Luo Tiannan, Jiang Ruoxi, and Su Xiao, would all be no match for him ¡­


    As for that Lin Tian, although the three of them didn''t want to admit it in their hearts, they had no choice but to admit it. The current Lin Tian, in terms of combat strength, was the number one of the Five Great Academies, because the strongest Mo Xiaolang was not a match for Lin Tian.


    Furthermore, the most crucial point was Gu Qingyuan. After this battle, Gu Qingyuan had thoroughly confirmed the reputation of the number one expert of the Tian Luo Kingdom. And the most crucial point was that Gu Qingyuan might soon step into the Creation stage.


    At that time, the entire Five Great Academies would have to follow the lead of the Azure Province Academy!


    The three of them naturally could not sit down. They all said their goodbyes to the king before leaving one after another.


    At this moment, there was no longer any trace of disdain in the eyes of Luo Tianjun, Su Xiao, and Jiang Ruoxi as they looked at Lin Tian. Instead, there was only a trace of strong fear.


    They knew how terrifying Mo Xiaolang was, so they naturally knew how terrifying the defeated Lin Tian was.


    Moreover, they all knew that after this, they would definitely meet Lin Tian again.


    Thus, they were more afraid and worried about Lin Tian.


    The king didn''t spare them either. The king could guess all their thoughts, so he naturally let them go.


    When they left, Su Qiu Shui, Luo Tian Nan, and Jian Chi, the three of them, made up their minds that when they went back, they would hurry up and train those little bastards. Ten years before, in the top five academies, they would be ranked last, but this year, there would definitely be some changes.


    The Clear Sky Challenge Competition quickly ended. This year''s batch of new students was naturally the strongest in the history of the competition. Not only were there piles of spiritual bodies, but there was also the appearance of outstanding figures like Lin Tian.


    Therefore, this year, many new students charged into the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    The Proclamation of Azure Sky was once again filled with new blood.


    After that, it was time to give out rewards.


    This time, other than the freshmen who received the prizes, the seniors and the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky all received different degrees of rewards.


    Spirit stones, medicinal pills, Spirit Treasures, secret arts, everything was distributed from the bottom to the bottom.


    Besides spirit stones, Lin Tian didn''t ask for anything else.


    So, this time, Lin Tian obtained several hundred thousand spirit stones as reward.


    In addition, Bai Guang had previously bought the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array from him, and he had paid him with Spirit Stones.


    Lin Tian currently had several million spirit stones, so he didn''t need to worry about his cultivation problems.


    However, after receiving the rewards, Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge were personally summoned by the king.


    "Lin Tian, Ji Fang Ge, the two of you should know why I''ve summoned you, right?" When the king saw the two of them had arrived, he immediately asked.


    "Could it be because of the incident in the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm?" He was not sure either, but it would not be long until the Tian Luo Mystic Realm would open again.


    Now that the king had summoned him, could there be another reason besides this?


    However, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong. If it was for the Tian Luo secret realm, then the two of them were not the only ones qualified to enter the Tian Luo secret realm.


    According to what had been said previously, the first place candidate of the Elementary Scholar''s Competition had the right to enter the secret realm of Tian Luo.


    In addition, the top ten rankers on the Proclamation of Azure Sky were all qualified.


    Therefore, if it was for the Tian Luo secret plane, the king would not have only summoned the two of them ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything, but his gaze fell on the king. Indeed, seeing the king''s smile, Lin Tian instantly felt that things weren''t that simple.


    The next moment, the king slightly shook his head and said, "Tian Luo Mystic Realm is a small matter. The reason I called all of you here is for something a hundred times more important than the Tian Luo Mystic Realm ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian and Ji Fang immediately became interested.


    What was going on? It was actually a hundred times more important than the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm!


    The Tian Luo secret plane was originally a grand occasion for Tian Luo. Other than the fact that this was a treasure hunt, the Tian Luo secret plane had an even more important goal, which was the competition between the students of the five academies.


    The Five Great Academies had rankings, as well as the existence of the Hidden Dragon Rank. These things naturally came from the Tian Luo Secret Realm.


    The students of the Five Great Academies would have a fixed quota for entering the Tian Luo Mystic Realm. The performance of these students within the Tian Luo Mystic Realm was a standard to evaluate them and was also the basis for the rankings of the Five Great Academies.


    But now, the king had actually said that there was something a hundred times more important than the secret realm of Tian Luo. Then, there must be something huge ¡­

 C320 The battle of the thousand kingdoms!

    "Have you all heard of the Thousand Kingdom War?" The king glanced at the two and asked without hesitation.


    "The Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms?" Ji Fangge and Lin Tian were both startled. Then a trace of doubt flashed across their eyes. They really didn''t know about these things.


    The king had a look of understanding as he spoke, "I''ll have to start from the beginning."


    "Do you know the division of territories in the Sky Dragon Continent?" the king asked again.


    "I know that." Ji Fangge immediately said, "Our Sky Dragon Continent is divided into five realms: the Heaven Martial Realm, the Earth Martial Realm, the True Martial World, the Wilderness Realm, and the Nether Realm."


    "The Heaven Martial Realm is the most powerful region in the Sky Dragon Continent. It has countless sects and countless powerful forces gathered here. There are a lot of people there and a lot of martial cultivators. It is the most powerful realm in the entire Sky Dragon Continent!"


    "As for the Earth Martial Realm, it is roughly on par with the Heaven Martial Realm. However, the overall strength of the Earth Martial Realm is slightly less than that of the Heaven Martial Realm ¡­"


    "As for the Wilderness, I heard that there are many tribes there. That''s the territory of the Berserker Tribe. There are also a great number of demons living in the Wilderness ¡­"


    "The Nether Realm is a legendary place. The places where the souls of everyone on the Sky Dragon Continent return to are our soul habitats ¡­"


    "As for Zhen Wu Jie, that is where we, Tian Luo, live ¡­" Ji Fangge slowly said. He actually explained the entire Five Realms of Sky Dragon Continent in detail.


    He didn''t know about this before, but the main reason was because he was a student from Sky Dragon City. Inside Sky Dragon City, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was scarce, and there were very few experts. On the other hand, Xiao Yunhai had always let Lin Tian cultivate, but had actually made Lin Tian not understand this much about common knowledge ¡­


    This time, Ji Fang Ge said so much, allowing Lin Tian to have a new understanding and understanding of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    "Yes." The king slightly nodded his head and continued to follow Ji Fangge''s words, "That''s right. Sky Dragon Continent is divided into the Five Realms, and below the Realm is the Domain."


    "For example, we are currently in the Western Spirit Realm. In addition, there are the Demon Spirit Realm, the Chaos Spirit Realm, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm."


    "The reason why the Western Spiritual Realm is called this name is because we are located in the extreme west of the Zhen Wu Jie." The king then asked, "As of now, you should all be aware of the division of power in the Western Spiritual Realm, right ¡­"


    Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge both nodded their heads.


    There were six great sects in the Western Spirit Region, and they were the overlords of the Western Spirit Region. These six great sects were also known as the Six Great Sacred Sects.


    They were respectively the one valley, two palaces, and three sects.


    One valley was the Emerald Holy Valley.


    The second palace was the Palace of Sword Saints.


    The three major sects were referring to the Skycloud Sect, the Star Sea Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect.


    Lin Tian was very clear about this, because his mother, Lu Wushuang, was the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley. Afterwards, his father, Lin Feng, had fought his way into the Emerald Holy Valley and had singlehandedly killed off the experts of the Emerald Holy Valley.


    After that, both of them went missing.


    This was all what Uncle Yu had told him before he died.


    One of the reasons why Lin Tian wanted to become strong was because he wanted to know what happened at that time, where his parents were, and his secrets. Did his parents know ¡­


    Seeing Lin Tian was a little dazed, the king immediately coughed lightly, pulling Lin Tian back, and continued: "In the Western Spirit Region, these six top sects are the strongest, and under each sect, there are countless kingdoms, these kingdoms are divided into upper, middle, and lower tier kingdoms, and Tian Luo Kingdom is one of the countries that belongs to the six great Sacred Sects, the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect."


    "The other countries?" Ji Fang Ge and Lin Tian Deng were startled, and then they couldn''t help but ask.


    "What, you''re surprised?" The king laughed involuntarily: "At first, when I never knew that I, Tian Luo, was from a lower realm, my reaction was the same. But later on, royal father brought me to a great war to watch once, it was only then that I realized that I was previously just a frog in the well ¡­"


    Ji Fangge and Lin Tiandeng were stunned as they continued to listen to the king''s words.


    "The sacred sect that we belong to is called the Virtuous Heaven Sect, which was founded by a great figure thousands of years ago. It was founded by the Saint Ling Xiao Sect, which has developed for thousands of years and is still ranked fourth among the Six Great Sacred Sects. You can imagine, a Saint Realm expert created a sect which has undergone thousands of years of development. A hint of bitterness could be heard in the king''s voice as he said, "Our Tian Luo Empire was only established a thousand years ago. Our ancestors were only at the Creation stage, and they weren''t even at the Emperor Realm ¡­"


    Also, we, Tian Luo, are too small. In the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms, I finally found out that the thousands of kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, as well as the territories that my Tian Luo Kingdom occupies, are only ranked at the top 900. Then, think about it, how many kingdoms above my Tian Luo Kingdom are bigger than us ¡­


    Ji Fangge and Lin Tian immediately came to their senses.


    "The so-called Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms has two goals, one is to promote the progress of the kingdoms, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect will give out an extremely rich resource, and reward the kingdom ranked in the front, not only that, it will also grant you a ranking in the upper echelons. As for the lower nations, not only do they not have the resources, they will also provide assistance to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, do you know that within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range of my Tian Luo Kingdom, there are two spirit veins that are blessed by the heavens?" As the king spoke, the gloom in his eyes grew even deeper.


    "Spiritual Pulse!" Lin Tian and Ji Fangge were both stunned. They never would have thought that in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range before, there were two spiritual veins!


    However, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range no longer had spirit veins. The king had just said that these two spirit veins would be handed over to someone else!


    "That''s right, they were taken away. Where do you think the rewards for the Virtuous Cloud Sect came from?" The king coldly smiled, "They are all from the resources that we, the lower nations, have turned in."


    "The Dao of Heaven has never been damaged and cannot be repaired. Rather, it has been damaged and cannot be replenished!" The king heaved a long sigh, "You must understand this better now."


    "If the Lingxiao Sacred Sect does this, it will only make the strong stronger and the weak weaker. But when the Spirit Vein, some of the resources that are blessed by the heavens are gone, what should we do?" the king asked again.


    "Could it be ¡­ could it be a land removal?" Lin Tian Deng thought of this possibility.


    "That''s right, it is the Land Cleaving!" The king nodded and continued, "You must know, under the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, there are actually tens of thousands of kingdoms. After so many years of development, only a thousand kingdoms remain!"

 C321 The kings wild desire

    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Hearing the king''s words, Ji Fangge and Lin Tian couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    Tens of thousands of kingdoms, and now there were only a few thousand left. That meant that 99% of the kingdoms had been completely annihilated by the history of the past thousand years.


    If that was the case, then it could also be imagined how strong the upper echelons of the kingdoms were!


    Because we, Tian Luo, have two Spiritual Pulses, we have been able to preserve the safety of our country for hundreds of years. Furthermore, although we, Tian Luo, are from a lower ranking country, we have never been ranked last. The king continued to explain.


    Lin Tian and Ji Fangge finally understood, but they had a general understanding of the cruel Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms.


    However, Ji Fangge continued to ask, "Your Majesty, you said earlier that the Lingxiao Sacred Sect established this Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms for two reasons. Since you''ve already said one, then your other goal is ¡­"


    "The other goal is to select talents for the Virtuous Cloud Sect!" The king smiled, "The main reason for setting up this Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms is to select talents. Only when these kingdoms send people to the Cloudsoaring sect will the sect be able to continue growing and expand ¡­"


    As the king spoke up to this point, the two of them immediately came to their senses.


    This was the most fundamental problem. Whether it was the countries that had the upper, middle, and lower rankings, or the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, their main goal was to stimulate the development of the various kingdoms, to cultivate new talents, and from there on, to endlessly supply the Ling Xiao Saint Sect with blood.


    Talent was the true goal of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "Then the rules of the Great Thousand Kingdom War and the judgement of the lower and middle nations, presumably also have something to do with sending people ¡­."


    "Not bad, it''ll clear at one point!" The king couldn''t help but praise Lin Tian. This Lin Tian seemed to understand at first glance, he only said so much, but Lin Tian seemed to have already guessed what he was going to say.


    "The Lingxiao Sacred Sect set down the rules a long time ago. The decisions of upper, middle, and third-rate kingdoms have many methods."


    The first method is to pass the Thousand Kingdoms War, which is the simplest and easiest method. Every ten years, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect will hold a war with over a thousand kingdoms, and these kingdoms will send out ten disciples under the age of twenty who are at the Aurous Core Stage to participate in the war with a thousand kingdoms. Although the rules are different every ten years, the disciples of each of these kingdoms will be placed in the final rankings, and the top one thousand kingdoms will naturally be ranked in the top one hundred, the bottom five hundred kingdoms will be ranked in the middle of the bottom five hundred ¡­ "


    "This method of judgement is the most fair. Of course, it is also the method that can best see a country''s strength."


    In the last few decades, Tian Luo Kingdom''s rankings had basically been below 900. Although it was not the lowest, one could imagine that this result was on the verge of being caved in.


    So, this was also the reason why the king had called Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge over.


    The king saw hope in Lin Tian and Ji Fangge, he did not expect that the Tian Luo Kingdom would be able to jump from a lower country to a higher country, he only hoped that this time, it would not be a lower country, or even a higher place.


    Because for the top 900 names, this time''s Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, they might be the last one ¡­


    This year was the year of the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms, and ten years had passed since the last battle.


    That was why the king had forcefully relied on the power of treasures to break through into the Profound Life stage and increase his lifespan by several tens of years. He wanted to raise Tian Luo''s ranking to a whole new level under his leadership.


    Now, seeing Lin Tian rise up like a comet, he felt a sense of hope.


    "Then what about the other ranking rules?" Ji Fangge could not help but ask.


    Honestly speaking, he also knew that if it was a Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, then the rules of the ranking list would have to be truthfully fought out. However, given their strength, the geniuses selected by them from the kingdoms ranked in the upper echelons would be even more terrifying ¡­


    Therefore, he actually wanted to hear the rules of the ranking.


    "The other type is much simpler. Every year, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect will select a large number of disciples, some will be the elites of the Thousand Kingdom War while the other part will be geniuses with special abilities from different countries. There was a kingdom in the past, and in the Thousand Kingdom War, their rankings were also at the bottom, but the geniuses they nurture are all taken into their sects. Naturally, that kingdom is also one that country from a lower country to a higher country.


    the king explained again.


    Lin Tian and Ji Fangge finally understood.


    But at this time, Lin Tian''s heart had a bit of impulse. He didn''t think that there was actually such a layer of connection.


    To be honest, he was the most excited. Before this, he had never thought about how he could enter the six great sects.


    However, he didn''t expect that Ye Zichen would point him in the right direction.


    That was the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms. He could use this Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms to enter the Cloudsoaring sect.


    Of course, this wasn''t his final goal, but once he entered the Virtuous Cloud Sect, he would have access to the Emerald Holy Valley.


    This way, he could secretly search for news about his parents.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately decided that he had to enter the Virtuous Cloud Sect!


    "Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens this year, this will be the last time I''ll bring you two to attempt a war against a thousand kingdom." Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens this year, this will be the last time I''ll bring you two to attempt a war against a thousand kingdom. The king did not hesitate and continued, "Including entering the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, for the sake of your upcoming battles, this year, many people will enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. Of course, I still have to consider the final names, but the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm is a very good way for you to grow faster, and before the Thousand Empire War, I want to help you enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm ¡­"


    As he spoke till this point, the king once again let out a sigh: "If our rankings are still below this time''s, I''m afraid that the Tian Luo Mystic Realm will not be preserved ¡­"


    Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge were slightly startled. However, they soon understood that if they still needed to give evidence next time, they would have to hand over the Heavenly Net Secret Realm ¡­

 C322 Map of the secret plane

    Seeing that the two of them were silent, the king smiled and said, "It''s alright. Of course, the burden this time is on your shoulders. But I''m not saying that I should just do my best to pressure you."


    Although this was what the king had said, the king had only asked the two of them to speak of this matter. The meaning behind his words could be easily imagined.


    The two of them must be the main force in this battle of the thousand kingdoms.


    Hearing the king''s words, Ji Fang Ge felt that the task before him was extremely difficult.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian had some faint expectations for the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms.


    The king did not continue, but said, "Alright, I will not talk about other matters. As for the matter regarding the Tian Luo secret realm, Gu Qing Yuan will explain it to you, and I will not talk about it anymore. It''s our first meeting, and I have nothing to give you, so just treat these two maps of the Tian Luo secret realm as a gift ¡­"


    As he spoke, the king actually gave Ji Fangge and Lin Tian a map of the secret realm.


    "Hmm?" When the two of them obtained such a map, they immediately understood what the king meant.


    The king''s intentions were too obvious. He wanted to give them benefits in advance.


    Needless to say, they knew that the Tian Luo secret realm must be filled with hidden dangers. Although their strength was not weak, they wouldn''t feel at ease and wouldn''t encounter any danger.


    After all, the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm is the domain of a Saint realm expert. Who knows what dangers there are within ¡­


    But now, with these two maps, it would be a big help to them. After all, it would be much better to just have a rough understanding of the geography of the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm ¡­


    Moreover, the Tian Luo secret realm was the domain of the legendary multi-treasure sage realm. As the name implied, multi-treasure saints were saints who possessed endless treasures.


    The small universe world formed by his Rules Domain would definitely contain countless treasures.


    Actually, arranging the Tian Luo Mystic Realm before the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms was just to give some benefits to the geniuses who were about to participate in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms. If they could find one or two treasures within the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, then for the students who were participating in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms, there would be an additional method or two to protect their lives ¡­


    Thinking of this, Ji Fangge and Lin Tian bowed and said, "Many thanks, Your Majesty ¡­"


    "No need to thank me. In the end, this time''s Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms will depend on all of you. If you want to thank me, I should be the one thanking all of you!" The king''s tone was full of sincerity.


    While the three of them were conversing, Gu Qingyuan had also gathered the other students together.


    Of course, he also publicly praised the outstanding performance of many of the students in this Freshmen Rites.


    The other students were also abnormally excited, even this time, during the Freshmen Ceremony, the students who didn''t excel were also incomparably excited. The reason was of course very simple, because for many years, the Azure Province Academy had always been ranked at the bottom of the Five Great Academies.


    They, the students, all had a tacit understanding, but in front of the students from the other academies, they could not really raise their heads.


    The students of the Five Great Academies would often perform some missions together. Thus, they would often interact quite a bit with students of other academies.


    However, the Freshmen Rites this time had completely filled them with pride.


    In this year''s Freshmen Rites, Lin Tian was outstandingly brilliant. There was no need to talk about this, but he had defeated Mo Xiaolang and had even injured him. Everyone''s hearts were filled with pride.


    So what if they were new students? So what if Mo Xiaolang was a Star River Realm expert?


    In the end, wasn''t the top student of the Five Great Academies, Mo Xiaolang, defeated by a new student, Lin Tian ¡­


    Moreover, Gu Qingyuan''s actions this time around had thoroughly increased their confidence.


    Gu Qingyuan''s strength had already completely conquered all the other students. One must know that all the other students had a grudge against Gu Qingyuan.


    This was because Gu Qingyuan had never asked about the cultivation conditions of these students from the four major academies, let alone instructing them. That was simply impossible.


    Furthermore, Gu Qingyuan''s character was rather shallow and he had never competed with anyone. Thus, the Azure Continent Academy had always been at the bottom of the Five Great Academies'' rankings, but Gu Qingyuan had never asked about it.


    This made them, the students, extremely dissatisfied with Gu Qingyuan and felt that he was not responsible at all.


    However, this time, for the sake of a new student, Gu Qingyuan had publicly fought with the Battalion Commander of the Tiger Wolf Battalion, Tian Luo Country''s pillar, General Wang Zhan, and had even defeated him with a single palm.


    This was what had greatly affected all the students.


    They were very proud. Did you see that? This is the principal of our Azure Province Academy.


    At that moment, whether it was the new and old students, the students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, or the ordinary students, all of them felt a sense of pride in their hearts.


    They were all students of the Azure Province Academy.


    Of course, Gu Qing Yuan and Lin Tian both didn''t expect that because of Lin Tian''s extraordinary display, his glorious achievements would very quickly spread throughout the entire Qing Province, even to the entire Tian Luo. As a result, in all the lands of Tian Luo, all the young students took Lin Tian as their idol and started cultivating with all their might.


    Because of Gu Qingyuan, the fame of the Azure Province''s school rose greatly. Many experts were famous for coming here, and they wanted to run for the position of the school''s instructors.


    Those experts were mostly Star River Realm experts. Their goal in coming to the Azure Province Academy was to get close to Gu Qingyuan. Their goal was very simple: to get guidance from Gu Qingyuan ¡­


    Lin Tian had provoked Tian Luo''s students to enter the Black Province Academy. Gu Qing Yuan had stimulated Tian Luo''s experts to become instructors. In a short period of time, the Black Province Academy became the number one academy in the Tian Luo Academy.


    After that, the teachers'' team in the Azure Province and the potential students of the Azure Province were all first in the entire Tian Luo.


    This was also the result of hundreds of years of glory in the Azure Province.


    Of course, all of this will come later ¡­


    At this moment, after Gu Qingyuan had encouraged a large number of students, he still kept the top scorer of this year''s Freshmen Tournament.


    The top ten rankers of the Proclamation of Azure Sky had also been left behind.


    The other students also understood that these students were qualified to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. It was not strange for them to be left behind.


    At this moment, Lin Tian and Ji Fangge had also returned to the team.


    Lin Tian was ranked third on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, Ji Fangge was ranked seventh, and Gu Yan''er was ranked tenth. She just so happened to have the qualifications to enter the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    There were only a few other students that Lin Tian was not familiar with, but that old student''s first place, whose name was Yan Wuhen, was an old student from the East District. In this competition, the old student had challenged the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and Yan Wuhen had also successfully squeezed into the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Although everyone had agreed that the white-clothed saint son Ji Fang Ge was the first on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, in any case, even if Ji Fang Ge had gone easy on him, the final result would be Yan Wu Hen being first, and Ji Fang Ge being third. Of course, since Lin Tian had defeated Ji Fang Ge, all the students knew that Lin Tian definitely had the strength to be first, but Lin Tian did not continue challenging Yan Wu Hen, so, Yan Wu Hen was currently first on the Proclamation of Azure Sky ¡­


    Thus, those who had the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm were the top new students, the top seniors and the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Originally, there were twelve of them, but Lin Tian was the top ten student on the Proclamation of Azure Sky and was ranked in the top ten. Yan Wuhen was also ranked first among the older students, but he was also in the top ten of the Proclamation of Azure Sky.


    Thus, in the end, only ten people would have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm ¡­

 C323 Yan wuhen

    Actually, when Lin Tian saw Yan Wuhen, he felt that this Yan Wuhen was very familiar, but as for how and where he had seen him, Lin Tian didn''t know.


    In other words, Lin Tian did not feel a familiar face, but instead, a familiar aura ¡­


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but have some doubts. He then asked Ji Fangge, who was beside him, about the background of Yan Wuhen.


    "Speaking of this Yan Wuhen, you''re asking the right person. I entered the Azure Province Academy at the same time as him. Actually, this Yan Wuhen is somewhat similar to our Principal Gu Qingyuan ¡­" Ji Fang Ge glanced at Yan Wu Hen and explained with a smile.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian didn''t understand so: "What''s similar?"


    "Hiding in seclusion, late blooming of great talent!" Ji Fangge said concisely.


    "I believe you should know about the matter regarding Dean Gu Qing Yuan. There''s no need for me to say much about it. I will focus on telling you about this Yan Wuhen." Ji Fangge said with a smile, "Yan Wuhen is the last in our batch of students, which is also the last. He was almost unable to enter the Azure Province Academy because of his persistence, especially his fighting will, which moved the teachers of the East Branch, and that''s why he was accepted into the East District."


    "After entering the East Branch, this Yan Wuhen''s performance was rather normal ¡­"


    "I entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky very early on, but this is the first time I''ve entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky. "However, I never expected that the first time Yan Wuhen entered the Proclamation of Azure Sky, he would be first ¡­" Ji Junge continued.


    "In the end, I''m also curious. He has already been in the Azure Province Academy for three years, and in these three years, he has always been indifferent and often gets bullied by other students. But half a year ago, after he went out to perform a mission and came back, there was a huge change."


    "After that, when Yan Wuhen came back, he was already a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage ¡­" As Ji Fangge said this, he could not help but sigh.


    "But do you know how strong this Yan Wuhen was before he went out on that mission?" Ji Fangge asked Lin Tian at this time.


    "What kind of strength?" Lin Tian Deng was also a bit curious.


    ''First level of the Aurous Core Stage ¡­ ''


    "That''s precisely the reason why I''m telling you this. He''s a little similar to Principal Gu, and when he returned, his strength at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage immediately shocked everyone. I was also shocked, but everyone said that he was born late and that he had been hiding his strength for the past three years, hibernating until he could soar into the skies ¡­"


    "In other words, it''s a little interesting." Lin Tian stared unwaveringly at Yan Wuhen. It was clear that Ji Fangge''s words had aroused his interest a little.


    In the short span of ten days, Yan Wuhen had gone from the first level of the Jindan to the ninth level of the Jindan Stage. If it was really as Ji Fangge had said, this Yan Wuhen was born late, then he should have been able to detect a trace of danger and was hiding in seclusion. Ji Fangge had said earlier that Yan Wuhen had been bullied by a lot of other students.


    In this case, there must be something behind Gu Qingyuan''s back. Gu Qingyuan had been hiding for forty years, but he hadn''t been bullied at all.


    When Gu Qingyuan learned that the king had lost face in front of the civil and military officials of the imperial court, he immediately exploded.


    Hibernation did not mean that he had to tolerate humiliation!


    This was not a normal person''s reaction, and it did not conform to the rules of Sky Dragon Continent.


    In that case, the Yan Wuhen from before definitely wasn''t lying low and hibernating, but his strength. Indeed, he was weaker than others. In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to endure this humiliation ¡­


    There were only two possibilities. What kind of genius earthly treasure did Yan Wuhen obtain, the kind that could rejuvenate one''s bones, and change Yan Wuhen''s talent, but not to mention how low the chances were of reaping the benefits of that heavenly treasure. Even if he obtained the treasure and rejuvenated his bones, it was impossible for him to advance from the first level of the Aurous Core to the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage in just a few days ¡­


    The other possibility was that there was some sort of fortuitous encounter.


    Of course, such fortuitous encounters are hard to say ¡­


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian''s gaze at Yan Wuhen turned dark, but after staring at Yan Wuhen''s back for a long time, Yan Wuhen seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned his head, his eyes meeting Lin Tian''s.


    "En!" Lin Tian''s heart trembled. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s face became ugly.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly turned his head and looked towards Ji Fangge. He then asked: "Then did you go easy on the previous ranking competition?"


    Lin Tian was currently staring at Ji Fang Ge. Before they were challenged, they, the top students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, wanted to participate in the ranking tournament, so if Ji Fang Ge had gone easy on him, it was not hard to understand. However, if he had not gone easy, then what level would Yan Wu Hen''s strength have reached?


    "In order to fight you, I really didn''t use much strength during the ranking competition ¡­" Ji Fangge said awkwardly.


    "However, the student who got first place is also at the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage. This level of strength is definitely not considered weak ¡­" Ji Fang Ge explained, then continued: "But you know that Yan Wu Hen fought against the original first place on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, and in less than ten moves, he was able to take it down ¡­"


    "Of course I know." Lin Tian''s complexion had become completely cold: "Yan Wuhen, the reason why you can raise so much in such a short period of time is because you''ve had an extraordinary fortuitous encounter ¡­ ¡­"


    Saying that, Lin Tian''s gaze once again fell on Yan Wuhen.


    At this moment, Lin Tian completely understood why he could feel a familiar aura from Yan Wushang.


    The reason was simple. Yan Wuhen''s aura was exactly the same as Song Qingyu who Lin Tian had met before.


    In other words, this Yan Wuhen should be from the Blood Demon Sect!


    If Lin Tian had not fought with Song Qingyu before, he would not have known Yan Wuhen''s true identity. But now, he was clear as day.


    The reason why Yan Wuhen was able to advance from the first level of the Aurous Core stage to the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage in such a short amount of time must be related to the Blood Demon Sect ¡­


    However, what Lin Tian did not expect was that the Blood Demon Sect was truly all-pervasive. Even the Azure Province school student Yan Wuhen had become a member of his demon race ¡­

 C324 Leader

    Ji Fang Ge could hear the hidden meaning behind Lin Tian''s words, but just as he was about to ask something, Lin Tian lightly waved his hand.


    At this time, the Horned Demon in the Divine Manor was conversing with Lin Tian.


    "Good boy, you have indeed improved now, to actually be able to sense the demon aura on Yan Wuhen''s body?" There was a trace of admiration in Hornless'' voice.


    "This is really not difficult ¡­" Lin Tian coldly smiled as he replied.


    Just now, he had exchanged a glance with Yan Wuhen, and had immediately detected their presence.


    There was a hint of blood in Yan Wuhen''s eyes. This was not something a normal person could possess.


    Lin Tian had killed Song Qingyu earlier. A similar blood-red colour was within Song Qingyu''s eyes. This was the obvious symbol of a Blood Demon Sect member.


    Of course, only Lin Tian could see it. As for the others, they couldn''t.


    Just now, even though Yan Wuhen was smiling at Lin Tian in a friendly manner, Lin Tian was able to sense a strong scent of blood emitting from Yan Wuhen''s body.


    Perhaps Yan Wuhen could hide a lot of things, but most of them were things that he could not hide at all. For example, the smell of blood on his body ¡­


    "That''s right. I''ve heard of the Blood Demon Sect before. They have a unique method of helping people quickly increase their strength. This method is called the Great Blood Transformation ¡­" Hornless said indifferently.


    "Great Blood Transformation?" A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Tian''s eyes.


    "That''s right. This Great Blood Transformation Art is one of the most important methods of the Blood Demon Sect ¡­" Horned Demon continued to explain, "The so-called Blood Transformation Art, as its name implies, is to help people exchange their blood for their strength. The Blood Demon Sect believes that the most important part of a martial artist''s talent lies in their bloodline power. Some people are born with tyrannical bloodlines, so their talent is naturally outstanding.


    "Therefore, this Blood Transformation is another method that the Blood Demon Sect uses to nurture their experts." "The specific method is to first extract all the blood from the body of the martial artist with inferior aptitude and then infuse it with the blood of the martial artist with insufficient aptitude. This will change their bloodline power and also change their aptitude and talent, making them into geniuses ¡­"


    "Such a terrifying technique?" Previously, when he had obtained the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon and entered his body, that kind of pain, when he thought back to it now, was incomparably terrifying. However, this method was actually to first extract a person''s blood essence, and then infuse it into his body.


    "What do you think?" Horned Demon unhappily said, "If you want to improve your own aptitude, how can you not pay the price?"


    "This method and the method of refining a Blood Puppet are the most powerful secret arts of the Blood Demon Sect. Looks like the Blood Demon Sect has paid a heavy price in order to nurture this Yan Wuhen ¡­" Hornless couldn''t help but sigh.


    "That''s only natural. However, after paying such a huge price to raise Yan Wuhen to this extent, I believe that the Blood Demon Sect is plotting something big. Furthermore, looking at it now, since the Azure Province Academy has been invaded by the Blood Demon Sect, the situation that the other academies have suffered is also about the same ¡­" Lin Tian secretly thought in his heart.


    Furthermore, it was very possible that the Blood Demon Sect was headed for the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm ¡­


    If the Tian Luo Kingdom wants to reignite the dead, the Tian Luo Country is basically an excellent springboard. Moreover, even if it is the Tian Luo Country, there are still plenty of talented people, if I can refine all of you geniuses into Blood Puppets, and then sacrifice your blood to the entire Tian Luo Country, then, as long as I continue to sacrifice my own blood to create a few countries, I might be able to attack the Ling Xiao Sect and even become the new overlord of the Western Spirit Region ¡­ " With Hornless'' analysis, Lin Tian Deng immediately understood.


    It seemed that Lin Tian had to constantly pay attention to the hidden danger of Blood Demon Sect.


    Lin Tian secretly became cautious. At the same time, Gu Qingyuan did not waste any words and directly explained the matter of entering the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm to the crowd.


    In the Tian Luo secret realm, the students had a good understanding of the laws left behind by the saint, hence the creation of the small universe.


    There were countless treasures within, and at the same time, it was also extremely dangerous. Of course, the most valuable treasures were still the traces of the laws and domain power left behind by that saint.


    However, after so many years, many experts had entered the Heavenly Luo Mystic Realm. However, from beginning to end, no one had seen the so-called power of laws or domain.


    Otherwise, obtaining the power of the laws and domain would be beneficial to the cultivation of the martial cultivators.


    The main reason was because Lin Tian cultivated a dragon''s method. In the future, if he still had the power of rules, he would naturally need to comprehend the power of the dragon race and not think about other things.


    The reason why Lin Tian entered the Tian Luo secret realm was to look for treasures. Of course, these treasures were not ordinary treasures, but were unique treasures, such as those that could escape at critical moments or even save his life.


    This was because Lin Tian was going to participate in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms. There was naturally no need to talk about the dangers of the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms.


    But since there were many treasures, Lin Tian''s heart was a bit more assured. After all, there were many treasures that did not press down on his body ¡­ ¡­


    Another even more important reason was the information that Horned Dragon had sent to Lin Tian.


    That was, according to the rumors, the saint of many treasures had once obtained a treasure from the dragon race.


    Of course, this was only a rumor, no one knew if it was true or false, but they would rather believe it to be true than not. If there was a dragon clan treasure, no matter what, Lin Tian would investigate it to the end.


    After all, he was already half a dragon. If he had treasures of the dragon clan then he could directly use them.


    With so many rules and so many precautions, Gu Qingyuan did not mince words. After giving a brief explanation, Gu Qingyuan actually took out several maps. Those maps were impressively the maps found within the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    All of you can roughly take a look at the full picture of the Tian Luo Mystic Realm. At that time, each of you will enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm and the ten of you will represent the Qing Province Academy. Therefore, I hope that you all will be able to help each other and avoid killing each other. At this point, Gu Qingyuan thought for a moment before saying: "How about this, according to the convention, you should choose a captain between you. After entering, remember to listen to your captain''s orders ¡­"


    The ten of them looked at each other, they did not know who they had chosen as the leader. With Lin Tian''s strength, without a doubt, he was first, but Lin Tian was a new student after all, so there was no need to deny that he had unparalleled combat power. However, this time entering the Tian Luo Secret Realm, was not just a battle, the person they liked the most was actually Ji Fang Ge ¡­


    Just as everyone was having a dilemma between Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge, Yan Wuhen suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, I am willing to be the team leader. I had some opportunities before and also did a lot of homework before. I hope everyone can choose me to be team leader ¡­"

 C325 Seclusion again

    "You''re finally going to reveal your fox tail. I thought you wouldn''t be able to run for election, right?" Lin Tian coldly laughed in his heart. Since he had already guessed Yan Wuhen''s true identity, he naturally knew that this Yan Wuhen must have done something to the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    Furthermore, it would naturally be easier to be the leader in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    Sure enough, without waiting for Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge to speak, Yan Wu Hen had already said it.


    Ji Fang Ge was also about to run, but when he suddenly saw Lin Tian give him a meaningful glance, he immediately swallowed down the words that were about to come out of his mouth.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian laughed blandly: "Actually, I also want to run for the position of captain. Ji Fangge is also like that, how about this, who else wants to run, you can stand out and let all of us vote, how about that?"


    When Yan Wuhen heard Lin Tian''s words, the corner of his mouth suddenly lifted up into a smile. He then praised: "That would be the best."


    Ji Fangge did not say anything, but just nodded his head.


    Since Lin Tian had given him a meaningful glance just now, it meant that Lin Tian already had an idea in his heart. He was only responsible for quietly watching the changes ¡­ ¡­


    Gu Qingyuan naturally wouldn''t bother with these matters. He only slightly nodded his head, indicating that he agreed.


    In the end, only Lin Tian, Ji Fang Ge, and Yan Wu Hen stood forward. In other words, only the three of them were willing to stand for the position of captain.


    Very quickly, a vote was taken.


    At this moment, Ji Fangge was clearly aware that something was wrong.


    Originally, he had thought that even if Lin Tian, Yan Wuhen, and Gu Yan''er did not vote for him, there would still be six people left. Then, among these six people, there should be at least half of them, which would probably be three or four people that would vote for him.


    But in the end, it was a naked slap to the face.


    He himself did not receive a single vote. Naturally, excluding his own vote, the other nine people did not vote for him.


    Lin Tian itself voted for him, and Gu Yan''er also voted for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian received two votes.


    Then the result was obvious. Yan Wuhen plus himself had actually obtained seven votes!


    One person got seven votes.


    This was truly what a ghost he was.


    Ji Fangge''s face was filled with surprise. Unbelievable, but Lin Tian did not have much of a reaction.


    On the contrary, Yan Wuhen seemed to have already known of this result.


    The result was decided by everyone, so Gu Qingyuan naturally did not have any objections. He pulled Yan Wuhen over to give him an exhortation before leaving.


    On the other hand, Yan Wuhen smiled as he walked in front of Lin Tian and Ji Fangge, saying, "You''ve let me win. This time, although I''ve become the captain, I will definitely respect your opinions."


    These words were directed towards Lin Tian and Ji Fang Ge.


    Ji Fang Ge was just about to speak when Lin Tian directly snatched him away: "No harm, this was originally everyone''s opinion. Congratulations, we will definitely cooperate ¡­"


    The smile on Yan Wuhen''s face became even more obvious. After exchanging some pleasantries, they all left.


    However, Lin Tian secretly remembered the people who voted for Yan Wuhen.


    Honestly speaking, this result did not mean anything to him. Since he had guessed Yan Wuhen''s identity, and also knew that Yan Wuhen would most likely mess things up in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, then it was not surprising that he would be the candidate for the position of captain. In the end, those few people all voted for him.


    Since he had already planned it all out, he naturally had to be prepared.


    Lin Tian didn''t feel that this was a problem. The people of Blood Demon Sect must die. Those who were in the same boat as the Blood Demon Sect were no exception.


    Sooner or later, Yan Wuhen would be a dead man, but there was no use in killing him now. Since the Blood Devil Sect was willing to pay such a high price to nurture this Yan Wuhen, then their scheme must not be small.


    Lin Tian''s true goal was to find out exactly what the Blood Demon Sect was up to.


    "You knew this would happen?" On the way back, Ji Fangge couldn''t help but ask directly.


    Lin Tian nodded his head: "I guessed it, you don''t need to continue asking why, now is not the time to ask. Just remember, when we reach the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, follow me closely, at the same time be on guard against this Yan Wuhen ¡­"


    Lin Tian said these words to Ji Fang Ge and Mu Jin''er.


    "Yes." The two of them nodded.


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything more. After bidding the two farewell, he once again returned to the Northern Courtyard and his own cave.


    Returning to his cave, Lin Tian first compared the map that the king had given him along with the map that Gu Qing Yuan had given him. After marking the two maps again, he had a rough understanding of the situation in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    Lin Tian memorized all of the locations on the map and did not continue thinking about this matter.


    Afterwards, Lin Tian once again entered his own Sacred Mansion and looked at the little grass that was planted in his soul, which was also the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    Speaking of this Freshman Ceremony, Lin Tian''s biggest gain was still the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Cane.


    Although Little Grass was still growing, Lin Tian could definitely foresee how terrifying the Demonic Vine would be in the future.


    Everything required time.


    The Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, known as the number one baneful creature of the ancient times, had been subdued by him. Lin Tian''s heart was incomparably happy. This little grass, in the future, it would definitely give Lin Tian an extremely strong help.


    Currently, Little Grass was still sleeping and Lin Tian did not disturb her. He withdrew from his own Divine Palace.


    However, his heart was slightly moved as he opened up the space within the stone tablet. Aside from the endless amount of Spirit Stones, there was also a corpse that emitted an extremely powerful aura.


    It was the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, which was also one of Lin Tian''s main reasons, but Lin Tian had never used it. First, he used the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, which required a large amount of spirit stones, and before the spirit stones were used on Lin Tian, it was a huge restriction. His spirit stones were not even enough for cultivation, let alone wasting spirit stones, he let the Yin Corpse use it.


    Although he didn''t lack spirit stones now, Lin Tian didn''t really need one.


    Secondly, Lin Tian had obtained this Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse from Xiao Kuangge, and also had the secret technique to control the Yin Corpse, which was the Great Puppet Technique.


    According to the Great Puppet Technique, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was still in its growth stage and should not be used excessively, so Lin Tian did not plan to use it in the near future.


    But this time, if he participated in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, he would have to make use of them.


    So Lin Tian also refined it again.


    After doing all of that, Lin Tian completely entered the closed door cultivation state.


    From now to the beginning of the Tian Luo secret plane, half a month was left.


    This was enough time for Lin Tian to cultivate again and break through another realm.


    Furthermore, his previous battle with Ji Fangge had stimulated his dragon blood to the point that it had once again extracted a tiny sliver. He was still accumulating a large amount of power within his body, and had just broken through to the seventh level of the Aurous Core stage.


    He needed to consolidate it.


    Furthermore, his battle with Mo Xiaolang had caused Lin Tian to re-evaluate his shortcomings. This kind of experience was extremely important.

 C326 Dragon lock array at the end of volume ii

    After who knows how long, Lin Tian finally recovered from his cultivation state.


    This time, after going through cultivation, his seventh level of the Aurous Core stage had already been completely consolidated. Not only that, Lin Tian was even trying to use the huge amount of spirit stones to continue breaking through.


    But this time, Lin Tian had spent a total of 300,000 high rank soul stones to break through to the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage from the seventh level of the Aurous Core stage ¡­


    After the strength of the 8th level of the Jindan Stage was completely consolidated, Lin Tian astonishedly discovered that his Spirit power increased by a lot again.


    Now that Lin Tian had absorbed the memories of the powerful Symbol Master from before, he had a new understanding of Symbol Masters.


    The so-called upper, middle, and lower rank Symbol Masters were all basic Symbol Masters.


    The most important thing for basic Symbol Masters was to gain insight into the Mental Energy. That was the most basic of all; an Inferior Grade Symbol Master would open up the Divine Manor to nurture and nurture the spirit and cultivate the Mental Energy within it.


    Middle tier Symbol Masters were upper tier Symbol Masters. Their primary purpose of cultivation was to nurture and nurture the spirit, allowing it to continuously cultivate spiritual power.


    Only after reaching the level of a spirit runemaster did they begin to condense their Destiny Soul Symbols. If their Destiny Soul Symbols did not perish, their mental energies did not die, and their soul did not die.


    Once he reached the Soul Symbol Master level, the Spirit Power within the Divine Symbol Master''s Divine Mansion would be around the size of a pond.


    Last time when Lin Tian faced that white light, he had felt it.


    After that, every time he broke through to the next level, his spiritual force would advance by leaps and bounds.


    Reaching the second rank spirit runemaster level meant that one could condense as much spiritual energy as a lake.


    Upon reaching Rank 3, one would be able to condense as much Mental Energy as a river.


    Furthermore, after breaking through to become an Earth Symbol Master, one would be able to condense as much Mental Energy as the ocean.


    Earth Symbol Masters were able to reach a realm where their Spiritual Force was like the sea.


    To a Symbol Master, the availability of Mental Energy was extremely important. Just like how a martial cultivator had too much elemental energy, it directly affected the battle strength of a martial cultivator, and this was the same for a Symbol Master.


    However, this rule didn''t apply to Lin Tian at all.


    This was because Lin Tian''s current mental strength was like an ocean.


    His Divine Palace was filled with an extremely enormous amount of Spiritual Force.


    Actually, when Lin Tian first opened the Divine Manor, his mental strength far surpassed ordinary low-rank Symbol Masters.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian''s strength could suppress Symbol Masters of the same level.


    That included An Yuan and the white light that came later.


    One had to know that at that time, even Bai Guang was somewhat surprised by Lin Tian''s powerful mental strength.


    Even though his Mental Energy was strong before, it had never reached such a terrifying level.


    Right now, Lin Tian felt that inside his Divine Manor, there was an enormous amount of mental energy everywhere.


    Of course, the increase in his mental strength made Lin Tian''s heart move.


    It was time to find another Talisman Skill. One had to know that the power of the God-Slaying Shuttle already had a great limitation.


    Lin Tian felt that the next opponent he would encounter was very likely to be the Divine Punisher Shuttle.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s soul immediately moved, and he once again searched through the Divine Manor''s powerful Symbol Master''s memories.


    Right now, Lin Tian also knew the rank of the powerful Symbol Master. He was actually an Emperor Symbol Master and was honored as the Symbol Emperor.


    Royal Symbol Master. Above the Spiritual Symbol Master was the Earth Symbol Master. Above the Earth Symbol Master was the Heavenly Symbol Master. And above the Heavenly Symbol Master was the Royal Symbol Master.


    An Emperor Symbol Master was equivalent to an Emperor Stage powerhouse of the human martial arts. At the same time, they were also the Emperors of the Symbol Dao. They were already extremely powerful existences.


    No wonder this Symbol Master had so many Symbol Techniques and Symbol Array Techniques in his memory.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and began to carefully search through the memories of the Symbol Techniques.


    However, after searching for a long time, he was unable to find any Talismanic Skills. Instead, he found one ¡­ Symbol Array?


    That''s right, it was the array glyph!


    The Symbol Dao was divided into two types. The first type was an attack by Mental Energy. This type of attack method was actually not too different from an attack method using Yuan Power.


    The other method was the rune technique. This method was the rune inscription technique.


    The array here was a talisman formation technique.


    Allegedly, some talisman masters with powerful cultivations were able to draw Heaven''s Inscription Formation, and were able to set up extremely powerful formations at any time.


    With those formations, one could greatly enhance the battle prowess of martial arts cultivators.


    When Lin Tian saw this, he was immediately moved. Lin Tian had never seen the power of array glyphs before, so he didn''t understand much about it.


    After understanding this, he immediately felt that this array symbol technique was completely customized for him.


    As it turned out, there were no other requirements for the Symbol Array Technique. The biggest requirement was that the mental strength of the person who cast the symbol would far surpass that of an ordinary person.


    If his Spirit power was lacking and he had no way of laying the formation, naturally, he could not cultivate as well. To Lin Tian, that request was simply not a thing.


    Lin Tian''s Spiritual Energy was incomparably deep, so it naturally couldn''t be any more suitable.


    Lin Tian finally chose a formation. That formation was called the Dragon Locking Formation.


    As the name implies, this array is an extremely powerful binding array. The reason he chose this was because Lin Tian thought, since the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm is filled with danger, and the key thing is, there is a ticking time bomb like Yan Wuhen, Lin Tian doesn''t lack any offensive methods, maybe this Dragon Locking Array will work at the critical moment, maybe it can display some kind of miraculous effect.


    Saying practice without hesitation, Lin Tian directly threw himself into cultivation.


    The key trick of this Dragon Bolt Formation was the word ''lock''.


    This was not a very aggressive Spiritual Array. On the contrary, it was a defensive Spiritual Array.


    "Dragon Lock Array, take the position of the five elements, turn it into the power of nine stars, lock it!" Lin Tian first memorized the mental cultivation method and then followed the method to start practicing.


    However, in the process of practicing, Lin Tian also discovered that setting up the formation truly consumed quite a bit of Spirit power. Even with his strong Spirit power, he could not withstand such consumption.


    Not too long after, his Spiritual Energy was completely used up. Fortunately, his recovery rate was extremely powerful, so he sat down cross-legged. However, after cultivating for a while, he completely recovered the Spiritual Energy that he had just used up.


    After a few more days, Lin Tian had mastered the Dragon Locking Formation and even cultivated the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb.


    The Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb had a total of seven forms. Lin Tian had already grasped four forms, and the first two forms, Extermination, and Afterimages, had all been cultivated by Lin Tian to the Perfection Stage.


    However, Lin Tian had only just mastered the Slaughtering God and Heart to mastery.


    So, even though there were three more moves, Lin Tian was still unable to cultivate them. This martial art required that he cultivate all the previous moves to the Perfection Stage in order to continue practicing the next move ¡­

 C327 To the imperial city

    Half a month passed by in a flash. Lin Tian had instructed for Ji Fang Ge, Gu Yan''er and the others to call him over when they left for Tian Luo City, in order to prevent him from overcultivating and losing track of time.


    So, when Ji Fang Ge and the others came to look for Lin Tian, Lin Tian suddenly felt that ten days had passed too quickly ¡­


    Seeing Lin Tian''s expression, Ji Fangge and Gu Yan''er could not help but look at each other and laugh: "Lin Kuang Devil is Lin Kuang Devil. Cultivating Mad Devil truly lives up to its reputation ¡­"


    Lin Tian was speechless, but he didn''t say anything as he let Fang Xing and Du Feng enter his cave to cultivate.


    Although Fang Xing and Du Feng had made their way into the Proclamation of Azure Sky, their rankings were still lower. Thus, they didn''t have the qualifications to go to the Heavenly Mystic Realm, and could only stay in the Northern Courtyard to cultivate.


    In Lin Tian''s abode, the speed at which spiritual energy gathered was almost two times faster than in other abodes. Since Lin Tian was not around, of course, resources could not be wasted. He might as well let the two of them cultivate and help Lin Tian look after the abode.


    On this trip to the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, Elder Xiao of the Azure Province led the team.


    Elder Xiao was the old man who was in charge of the Clear Sky preliminaries. He himself controlled a small universe, and that was the Azure Province Academy''s own trial ground.


    But that small universe world was damaged and incomplete, of course, it couldn''t be compared to the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    However, Elder Xiao had been in control of the little world for many years, and he knew a lot about it. The Heaven''s Net Mystic Realm was also a small world, so Elder Xiao could tell them a few things they didn''t know about on the way here.


    Yan Wuhen and the others were obviously with Lin Tian and the others.


    Lin Tian even specifically paid attention to Yan Wuhen, but there was nothing abnormal with Yan Wuhen. Seeing Lin Tian and the other two, he still had a smiling expression on his face.


    On the other hand, when the others saw Lin Tian and the other two, their expressions became unnatural.


    Lin Tian looked at those people strangely. Those people were the ones who voted for Yan Wuhen and made him captain. Lin Tian obviously knew that those people from that time had definitely been bribed by Yan Wuhen in advance.


    So this result wasn''t unexpected. What made Lin Tian feel surprised was something else.


    One of the students, the one ranked second, called Chu Feng, looked at Lin Tian with a pleading gaze...


    To be more accurate, there was helplessness, fear, worry, fear and the thought of wanting to ask for help but not daring to do so.


    All these thoughts and thoughts were reflected in Chu Feng''s eyes.


    Had Lin Tian not been curious, he would never have been able to tell so much from Chu Feng''s gaze.


    However, just as Lin Tian was about to step forward and ask about this, that Yan Wuhen suddenly appeared and stood in front of Lin Tian and Chu Feng.


    However, in the next moment, when Yan Wuhen leaned over and Lin Tian saw Chu Feng again, the look in Chu Feng''s eyes disappeared without a trace.


    What replaced it was something that was quite normal.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Lin Tian could clearly feel Chu Feng''s body trembling uncontrollably, Lin Tian would''ve thought that he was mistaken.


    However, after sensing Chu Feng''s strangeness, Lin Tian''s eyes immediately lit up with playfulness.


    Without a doubt, that Yan Wuhen was a member of the Blood Demon Sect. Lin Tian could roughly guess his motives, but the only thing that Lin Tian was curious about was what kind of mission did Yan Wuhen bring over, or perhaps the Blood Demon Sect had a plan ¡­


    From the looks of it, Chu Feng already knew the identity of Yan Wuhen. However, from the looks of it, he must have been threatened by Yan Wuhen. That was the reason why he had a pleading look in his eyes, but he did not dare to say it out loud.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s gaze swept over the others.


    One or two of them were impressively a pair of dead fish eyes that would occasionally spin a few rounds, but when they felt Lin Tian''s gaze, they slowly raised their heads. In the next moment, their eyes returned to normal, just like normal people.


    But the more it was like this, the more Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t right.


    "No, this is definitely not right ¡­" The vigilance in Lin Tian''s heart became even stronger.


    Those people looked like puppets, not a single bit of life was left in them. Could it be, that Yan Wuhen had already taken action, and turned them into Blood Puppets?


    "It''s not that scary, kid. These people should have been controlled by a secret technique, or have been infected by a Gu, it''s possible that ¡­" At this moment, Horned Demon''s voice suddenly rang out: "If it''s a Blood Puppet, it would be completely unconscious, but when they see you, and are able to recover, it proves that they definitely weren''t refined into a Blood Puppet. Don''t think too much into it first, just wait and see."


    At this point, Horned Demon said worriedly, "This Blood Demon Sect is also a trouble. Back then, they caused trouble for the entire Western Spiritual Region, and I never thought that they would want to revive the dead. However, since this Yan Wuhen was subdued by the Blood Demon Sect, then I presume that the other great academies also have people like this. You must be careful ¡­"


    Lin Tian nodded his head. He had an idea in his heart.


    The first place they had to go to was the Imperial City. No one knew where the Tian Luo secret realm was. Only the king had the key to enter the Tian Luo secret realm.


    Therefore, during these two days, all the students of the Five Great Academies had the right to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. When all fifty of them arrived at the Imperial Palace, the king would open the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm and let them in.


    "Did you all remember what I said?" Elder Xiao''s voice was suddenly heard at this moment.


    Lin Tian was startled and couldn''t help but look at Elder Xiao with a face full of doubt, but soon after, Lin Tian regained his senses.


    Previously, it seemed like Elder Xiao had been explaining something to them along the way, but Lin Tian had been thinking about other things along the way, so how could he have heard?


    At this moment, seeing the anger in Elder Xiao''s eyes, Lin Tian also felt a little helpless. Elder Xiao must have seen the doubt on his face just now, so he naturally knew that Lin Tian hadn''t heard anything along the way.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t care and followed the crowd as they hurried forward.


    Within half a day, everyone had arrived at Tian Luo City.


    However, they had just arrived when the king''s faction personally welcomed them and brought them to the imperial palace.


    This was the first time they had entered Tian Luo''s palace, and for a while, everyone looked around, feeling extremely curious.


    "Everyone, please enter. The king has been waiting inside for a long time ¡­" After that person brought everyone to the palace, he immediately retreated.


    Elder Xiao nodded. He swept a glance at the crowd and led them into the palace ¡­

 C328 The five great academies have all gathered together

    The person who came to the main hall and sat on the throne was the king of Luo Feng, Luo Tianyi.


    At this time, underneath the main hall, Lin Tian and Ji Fangge also saw a few familiar faces.


    Luo Tian Jun of the Royal Academy, the younger brother of the current king, was already here.


    The Royal Academy was located in the center of Tian Luo City, so it was normal for them to have already arrived.


    The Royal Academy had also sent out ten people to participate in this year''s Heavenly Luo Secret Realm''s trial.


    Beside the Royal Academy was a group of females.


    There was no need to guess, even if Lin Tian did not recognize any of them, he would still know that they were students from the Misty Academy. The Misty Academy was Tian Luo''s most recognizable academy, because the Misty Academy was simply a daughter academy.


    The dean was a woman. The instructors and students were all women.


    What''s more, Lin Tian also recognized the ice-cold woman in the lead, Jiang Ruoxi.


    Jiang Ruoxi was the strongest in the entire Misty Academy, even among the students from the Five Great Academies, she was definitely one of the top three strongest competitors.


    The students of the academy were also present, and it was very easy to recognize them as well. Almost everyone carried swords on their backs, while the academy and the academy were famous for their swordsmanship.


    The Su Xiao that went to the Azure Province Academy to spectate the last time was also standing in front of the many disciples.


    Currently, the Azure Province Academy had also arrived. Aside from the Tiger Wolf Battalion, the other four academies were all present.


    However, when Luotian, Jiang Ruoxi and Su Xiao saw the arrival of the Azure Province Academy, especially when they saw Lin Tian, their expressions became a bit ugly.


    Ever since the three of them saw Lin Tian defeat Mo Xiaofei with their own eyes, a shadow had begun to form in their hearts.


    Even Mad Wolf was not his opponent, so naturally the three of them would not be Lin Tian''s match. Moreover, Lin Tian''s current strength had unexpectedly increased once again, and he had now reached the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    "It really is the Lin Kuang Devil ¡­" The three of them muttered to themselves. They had also heard that Lin Tian was called Lin Kuang.


    This was the first time hearing it, and they didn''t think much of it, but after seeing that Lin Tian had defeated Mo Xiaolang, the three of them realized, the title of Lin Kuang Devil, on Lin Tian''s body, really had to be more appropriate, more appropriate ¡­ ¡­


    However, the current Lin Tian did not care about how others thought, nor did he care why the Tiger Wolf Camp hadn''t arrived yet.


    He only cared about one thing.


    Yan Wuhen!


    After Lin Tian entered the hall, the first thing he did was to look around at all the students. He carefully checked every student.


    However, he didn''t notice that the two students from the Azure Province had a pair of dead fish eyes, just like two puppets.


    Lin Tian was slightly relieved. From the looks of it, the other academies had not been invaded by the Blood Demon Sect.


    However, this thought had just appeared in his mind when a student from the Sword Inquisition Academy, who was not far away, suddenly looked at the Azure Province Academy without batting an eyelid.


    His gaze finally landed on Yan Wuhen.


    Lin Tian stood behind Yan Wuhen. In order to prevent himself from being discovered, Lin Tian could only look at him from the corner of his eyes.


    He could clearly see that Yan Wuhen had nodded his head almost imperceptibly.


    "This dog''s ass, Horned Demon did indeed guess correctly!" Lin Tian was suddenly shocked in his heart. What was there to be afraid of? Hornless had actually guessed correctly. Since their Azure Province had been eroded, how could the other four academies be an exception?


    This, that student from Sword Inquisition, didn''t he prove this point.


    This was not the end. Not long after, a veiled girl from the Misty Academy and a yellow-robed young man from the Royal Academy all nodded at Yan Wuhen.


    Yan Wuhen replied one by one.


    In the great hall, these students looked at each other, even hinted at each other. This was a very normal thing, and no one would care about this small detail.


    Only Lin Tian was able to see it clearly.


    However, the heavy sword Yan Wuhen also carefully turned his head to take a look.


    He discovered that Lin Tian was standing behind him, whispering with Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er. Furthermore, Lin Tian was leaning to the side, so Yan Wu Hen immediately felt at ease.


    The great hall was deathly silent. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the members of the Tiger Wolf Camp.


    Before long, the sound of horses'' hooves could be heard from outside the hall.


    "Herod, Herod ¡­"


    The sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the hall.


    This is the people from the Tiger Wolf Camp.


    The Tigerwolf Battalion was both an academy and a military school of Tian Luo. Basically, all of the students that the Tigers and Wolves Battalion had trained had entered the ranks of the Tigers and Wolves.


    It was Tian Luo''s trump card, the army of tigers and wolves.


    It could be said that 99% of the generals in the Tian Luo Army came from the Tiger Wolf Battalion.


    And the Tigers had been out fighting all year round. It could be said that their hard work and achievements were very high. Of course, the king knew about all of this, so he gave a lot of preferential treatment to the Tigers.


    Without removing his armor or dismounting from his horse, he arrived at the palace.


    Only the members of the Tigers and Wolves could receive such preferential treatment.


    After half a month, Mo Xiaolang had fully recovered from his injuries.


    However, it was clear that Mo Xiaolang was still brooding over Lin Tian''s defeat last time. He even regarded it as a great humiliation, especially after it had implicated Wang Zhan, causing him to lose face in front of everyone ¡­


    Thus, as soon as Mo Xiaolang entered the main hall, his gaze was first searching for Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t have the time to leave him. Lin Tian had been staring at the nine people behind Mo Xiaolang.


    Not long after, a student finally met Yan Wuhen''s eyes.


    "That''s right!" Lin Tian''s eyes turned cold. He thought to himself, "Now we can finally confirm that among the students of the five great academies, there are actually students who have been corrupted by the Blood Demon Sect ¡­"


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian felt a chill run down his spine. This was the first time he felt a deep fear of the Blood Demon Sect.


    The methods of the Blood Demon Sect were as profound as the heavens. One had to know that there were only ten people in each school who could enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm this time.


    There were only ten people in each academy, so it was natural to imagine the strength and potential of these students.


    There were five academies, five of them. Furthermore, from the looks of it, these five were not without plans. On the contrary, they had plans in mind.


    This was even more terrifying. Just what was Blood Demon Sect trying to do?


    "Students!" At this time, the king''s voice suddenly fell into everyone''s ears, interrupting Lin Tian''s thoughts ¡­

 C329 Dark moon forest

    Everyone else also turned to look at Allheaven.


    "Fellow students, before you all arrived, I believe that the coaches in charge of you all have already told you all about the rules and other matters that you should pay attention to. That map should have already been sent out, right?" Luo Tianyi asked.


    "Yes." Everyone nodded.


    "Alright then, I won''t waste any time on nonsense. Here are 50 jade slips with a sliver of my will power hidden inside, which is also your way of protecting your life. You must remember, although there are a lot of treasures in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, you must live to enjoy them." At this point, Luo Tianyi''s tone suddenly became stern.


    The meaning behind those words were quite clear. It was that the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm was incomparably dangerous. At a critical moment, it was best for them to protect their own lives.


    Speaking up to here, Luo Tianyi intentionally looked at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian instantly understood what Luo Tian Yi meant. He was specifically reminding him because back then, Lin Tian was the last person to come out of the Withering Bloom Swamp.


    Although the king didn''t ask Lin Tian about what had happened in the Withering Bloom Swamp, he had already labeled Lin Tian a adventurer.


    So, these words were mainly directed towards Lin Tian. Of course, it was also to remind the others.


    All of these teachers from the various academies had already told them about this many times, so the other students all nodded their heads in agreement.


    "Alright, come with me." As Luo Tianyi said this, he let everyone follow him.


    On the throne in the palace, there was actually a mechanism.


    After the mechanism was activated, there was surprisingly a white barrier. Under the white barrier, it was impossible to see what was inside.


    Luo Tianyi looked at everyone, then motioned for them to go in.


    Everyone did not hesitate as there was a team leader among the ten individuals from each academy. At this moment, under the lead of the team leaders, one by one, they entered the white barrier.


    One by one, the bodies of the crowd disappeared into the white barrier.


    Lin Tian only felt his own consciousness grow a bit dizzy. By the time he woke up, the scene in front of him had already changed greatly.


    Lin Tian looked around in shock. Unexpectedly, he discovered that there was no one by his side.


    Not to mention the few people in the academy, not even a single person from the other academies could be seen.


    "My fellow students, do not panic. No matter where you are, do not panic. Once you enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, you will be sent to different regions ¡­" Just at this moment, in the sky above Lin Tian''s head, unexpectedly came the voice of Luo Tianyi.


    "Alright, now, the trial of the Tian Luo Secret Realm has officially begun!"


    After he finished speaking, Luo Tianyi''s voice completely disappeared.


    "Hmm?" At this time, Lin Tian''s heart was filled with even more doubts.


    Could it be that when the king was in the palace, he could see all of their movements?


    If that was the case, it would be troublesome ¡­


    "Brat, what are you worried about? If you threw away the jade chip he just gave you, he wouldn''t be able to sense it or see your actions." At this time, the Hornless within the Divine Palace spoke again.


    "So that''s how it is." When Lin Tian heard Horned Demon''s words, he immediately understood.


    No wonder the king gave each of them a jade chip. Not only was the jade chip used to protect their lives, it was also used to monitor them ¡­


    "I can''t just throw it away ¡­" Lin Tian was just about to throw it away, but he suddenly thought, if he went out and the king wanted to take back the jade slip, how could he take it out?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately thought about how to resolve this jade slip ¡­.


    "Got it." Lin Tian directly placed the jade slip into his own Divine Palace. The Ancient Dragon Tally slightly moved inside his soul before emitting an extremely terrifying power that directly wrapped around the jade slip.


    Within the jade slip, the connection between him and Luo Tianyi was suddenly cut off ¡­


    "Hmm?" At this moment, Luo Tianyi, who was standing outside of the secret realm, was frowning. He had clearly sensed that one of his jade slips had been directly cut off from him ¡­


    Without the surveillance of the jade chip, Lin Tian Deng immediately relaxed.


    Without worries, Lin Tian wasn''t in a hurry. He had already memorized the map of the Tian Luo secret realm, and was starting to determine his position.


    At this time, he was in a dense forest. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be in the western part of the secret realm called the Dark Moon Forest.


    Previously, Lin Tian had obtained two maps, which roughly stated that he had pieced together all the areas in the Tian Luo secret realm.


    Based on the situation in the forest, it was not hard to determine.


    The reason why it was called the Dark Moon Forest was because this forest was still dusky. Although it was not a dark state, there was no light at all.


    In short, with Lin Tian''s line of sight, around ten meters away, Lin Tian couldn''t even see very clearly.


    Therefore, he''d long since released his Spiritual Force and started to carefully examine the surrounding illusions.


    The Dark Moon Forest is one of the most dangerous places.


    Moreover, this place was a dead end, because after leaving the Dark Moon Forest, it was a huge canyon. Its name was Line Cliff, and there was only one way to go to other places.


    Furthermore, this thin cliff is even more terrifying. There is only a single metal chain that goes through it, and below it is an incomparably huge ravine. If one is even the slightest bit careless, it would be the end of their life ¡­


    Lin Tian''s heart was unlucky. How could he have been sent to this place.


    In the Tian Luo secret realm, the place with the most treasures was naturally the Great Treasure Temple.


    The Temple of Dobao was actually the tomb of the Sage of Dobao.


    Sage realm, using one''s own rules and domain to open up a small universe.


    In other words, this place was formed according to the rules in the heart of the Great Saint. And after he perished, this little world would naturally become his tomb.


    All of the treasures of the Great Saint were naturally stored in the Great Treasure Temple.


    In this place, in the extreme west of the Tian Luo Secret Realm, if one wanted to reach the Great Treasure Temple, they would have to walk out of a cliff and pass through several dangerous areas before being able to reach the Great Treasure Temple ¡­


    "What bad luck!" Lin Tian secretly cursed, and without hesitation, he quickly rushed forward, wanting to leave the Dark Moon Forest.


    Along the way, Lin Tian also didn''t stay idle. Instead, he communicated with the Horned Demon.


    Actually, the most important reason for attracting Lin Tian to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm was not any other treasures, or any saint''s rules. There were also some things that attracted Lin Tian, but they weren''t as strong.


    In the end, what attracted him to him was still the Dragon Clan''s treasure that Horned Demon mentioned to him previously ¡­

 C330 Zu long jiu zi

    "Horned Demon, what kind of treasure is the dragon clan treasure that you were talking about?" Lin Tian vigilantly looked around while asking Horned Demon.


    "Kid, you are the descendant of the dragon clan, there is no need for me to hide it from you. Do you know that the ancestors have nine sons?" Horned Demon sighed and then first asked Lin Tian.


    "I do know that." Lin Tian nodded and said.


    This was something that everyone on Sky Dragon Continent knew.


    The Nine Sons of the Dragon were all different.


    The Ancestral Dragon swallowed all of the ancient stars, concealing grandmist origin energy.


    After that, the Ancestral Dragon split the heaven and earth.


    After that, the ninth child of the Ancestral Dragon was born. In the end, his lifespan was used up, and then he perished.


    The Qi of the Ancestral Dragon was like the wind and clouds, the sound was like thunder, the left eye was like a sun, the right eye was like a moon, the four limbs were like five mountains, the muscles were like geography, the muscles were like soil, the hair was like stars, the fur was like grass and wood, the bone was metal, the essence was jade, and the sweat was like rain.


    The scales of the Ancestral Dragon became three thousand demonic beasts, the claws and fangs of the Ancestral Dragon transformed into eight hundred barbarian barbarians. Therefore, there was a demon clan ¨C the barbarian race.


    The blood of the Ancestral Dragon transformed into the spirit of heaven and earth, turning into a human. Because of this, humans were called the descendants of dragons.


    After the ancestral dragon fell, the nine sons of the dragon each inherited a different inheritance.


    The first son of an Ancestral Dragon was a Divine Dragon of the Sun and Moon, the master of the light of the Sun and the Moon. He transformed into the sun, the moon, and illuminated the entire Sky Dragon Continent.


    The two sons of the Ancestral Dragon were the Saint Dragons of space and time. They controlled the power of space and time and controlled the vicissitudes of time and space on the continent. They were the gods of the power of time and space.


    The three sons of the Ancestral Dragon were the Ghost Dragons, the master of the netherworld''s energy, and the master of the life and death of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    The four children of the Ancestral Dragon were the spirit dragons of primal chaos. They controlled the power of destiny, controlled the laws of the heavens, and evolved the laws of the heavens. These were the duties and responsibilities of the spirit dragons.


    The fifth son of the Ancestral Dragon was a dragon of darkness. The main power of darkness was the night guardian of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    The sixth son of the Ancestral Dragon was a Flying Rain-Dragon. He controlled the air and was the ruler of all birds.


    The seventh son of the Ancestral Dragon was a Wind Thunder Flood Dragon: the power of rain and wind, the power of rain.


    The eighth son of the Ancestral Dragon was a coiling dragon of the earth. He controlled the power of the earth and everything on the ground. He was the ruler of all beasts.


    The ninth son of the Ancestral Dragon was the Dragon of Plague, who possessed the power of disease and disaster, as well as control over disease and disaster. He was the only dragon among the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon that led to disaster.


    These nine dragon sons, who had inherited the dragon''s endless divine abilities, also had different powers.


    Of course, in the eyes of the people, the Ancestral Dragon''s Nine Sons were the guardians of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    However, the current Lin Tian was somewhat suspicious. He didn''t know why Horned Demon would suddenly mention this.


    [Is there any treasure related to the Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon here?]


    If that was the case, then he had earned quite a bit.


    An existence that could be on the same level as Zu Long and Jiu Zi was definitely an extremely powerful treasure.


    "I only heard that the Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons no longer appear on the Sky Dragon Continent, so I''m not too sure about this legend ¡­" When Horned Demon said this, he suddenly started to stammer.


    "What''s wrong with you? If you have anything, just say it ¡­" Lin Tian was a bit curious. Why did the Horned Demon suddenly become this way.


    "According to legend, back then, it was precisely because he obtained that treasure that caused everyone to covet him and then he was hunted to death ¡­" In Horned Demon''s tone, there was still some hesitation. After a moment, he said, "Brat, I don''t know if this is a good or bad thing for you ¡­"


    "What do you want to say? Speak, don''t you understand me? You have watched me grow all the way. The treasures of the dragon race are the only things I have been able to rely on to this day. Since I have relied on these treasures, I am naturally prepared to bear the consequences of this ¡­" Lin Tian felt that something was wrong with the Horned Demon, and immediately said with a serious expression.


    From what Horned Demon had said before, he had felt that the Dragon Transformation Token had chosen him. The legacy of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence, the Ancient Dragon Symbol, these things all had a cause and effect. He had accepted the reason, so he naturally had to bear the consequences of it.


    At the beginning, Lin Tian still felt a bit uncomfortable because he felt that his fate was always grasped within a pair of large, invisible hands.


    Under the control of that pair of large hands, Lin Tian had achieved what he had achieved today. He couldn''t help but continue on the path that was arranged for him by others.


    But Lin Tian was absolutely clear in his heart that he could not refuse. If it wasn''t for the Dragon Transformation Token, he would have died a long time ago and naturally would not have had today''s achievements, and naturally would not have reached his current level. So, Lin Tian did not want to think too much about it.


    He no longer had any other thoughts. If he wanted his fate to be in his hands, then he had to become even more powerful!


    Once he reached a certain level of power, he would be able to handle any and all Karma that came with it.


    Horned Demon hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brat, since you have already made a decision in your heart, I won''t say much, but if you know about this news, or if you really did get the treasure I mentioned, then you have to remember that you have to be careful of everything else ¡­"


    He had absolute trust towards Horned Demon, but he also knew that Horned Demon was definitely hiding many things from him. Although Lin Tian did not know what it was, he was absolutely clear that if there was something that Horned Demon was hiding, or even if he did not mention it, it must be a huge secret.


    As long as Horned Demon didn''t say anything, Lin Tian absolutely wouldn''t ask.


    "It''s said that Sage Duo Bao has obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol." Horned Demon hesitated for a while before he spoke.


    "Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but soon after, he sucked in a breath of cold air as monstrous waves rose in his heart.


    "Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol! It''s actually a Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol!" He naturally knew what those four words meant.


    Coiling dragon was the coiling dragon of the earth. He was the eighth son of the Ancestral Dragon, and he controlled the power of the earth. He was the god of all beasts.


    As a Symbol Master, Lin Tian naturally understood the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol even more.


    The dragons dual cultivated in rune and martial arts and were born with the ability to control the power of the rune.


    The Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol was the Coiling Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol, which was also the source of the Coiling Dragon''s strength.


    However, Horned Demon actually said that the treasure obtained by the Sage was very likely to be the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol. How could this not cause Lin Tian to feel shocked?


    Of course, Lin Tian was even more shocked by another reason. Destiny spirit talismans, unless they perished, normally they would not leave the body, but right now the Coiling Dragon spirit talisman was actually an existence that had left the body.


    The eighth son of the Ancestral Dragon, one of the nine sons, a Coiling Dragon that controlled the power of the earth, had actually fallen?

 C331 Coiling dragon spirit symbol

    "The coiling dragon didn''t fall ¡­" Horned Demon''s voice rang out again, denying Lin Tian''s thoughts.


    "If he didn''t die, then why, the Coiling Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol, was actually ¡­"


    "It actually left its body?" Horned Demon smiled bitterly and interrupted Lin Tian''s words.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s face full of shock and curiosity, Horned Demon softly said: "Little brat, listen to me. I can''t explain these things to you too much right now. If you explain too much, you''ll be in greater danger ¡­ ¡­"


    "Is it that again?" Lin Tian also laughed bitterly before saying: "At that time, Yun Huang and I agreed that I would only be able to go to Demon Spirit Realm to find her when I reached the Emperor Realm. And this time, what kind of realm do I need to reach before you can tell me everything?"


    "The most powerful realm in the Sky Dragon Continent is the God Realm, right?" Horned Demon smiled.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    Actually, above the God Realm, there was also the supreme God King. However, that was just a legend. Lin Tian hadn''t heard of anyone in the Sky Dragon Continent reaching this realm ¡­


    Therefore, the highest realm was still the God Realm.


    Several tens of thousands of years ago, there might have been experts that had reached this level, but now, none of them had ever existed.


    "Then wait until you reach the God Realm, then I will tell you everything ¡­" Horned Demon nodded slightly and said.


    "God Realm!" Lin Tian''s eyebrows slightly wrinkled, but then he said: "Okay, I have another goal to strive for!"


    Lin Tian''s state of mind was completely different from before. Before, when Lin Tian heard about the God Realm, perhaps he didn''t even dare to think about it, but now, the more ambitious the goal was, the more it would stimulate Lin Tian''s progress.


    He had the most superior inheritance, he might be able to reach the legendary realm in the future!


    "Good kid, stop boasting and think of a way to leave this Dark Moon Forest as soon as possible." Horned Demon faintly smiled and swallowed the words he was about to say.


    It originally wanted to say, "Even if you reach the God Realm, you are but a speck of dust ¡­"


    Those things, even if one reaches the God Realm, are indestructible...


    But Horned Demon didn''t plan on saying that. Honestly speaking, his hard work on Lin Tian was seen in his eyes. Actually, sometimes, even Horned Demon thought that this kid might really be able to complete that quest.


    This mindset alone was something that many people couldn''t compare with.


    Thinking like this, Horned Demon continued: "With the Ancient Dragon Symbol on you, you should be able to feel the infinite wonders of the Ancient Dragon Symbol right ¡­"


    Lin Tian nodded his head. He had long since felt the magical effect of the Ancient Dragon Rune.


    At this moment, when he thought of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol that Horned Demon had mentioned, he immediately became excited again.


    The strength of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol would definitely not be weak!


    Don''t get excited too early, the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol was obtained by the Sage Duo Bao. After all, it was just a rumor, and when many people were chasing after the Sage Duo Bao, even if it was the Sage Duo Bao, they were able to obtain the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol. When Horned Demon saw Lin Tian''s excited expression, he couldn''t help but splash a bucket of cold water.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. He also knew this logic, but he couldn''t restrain his excitement.


    "However, you have the Ancient Dragon Symbol with you, this is the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol, and naturally has connection and connection with the Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol. However, you have the Ancient Dragon Symbol, this is the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol, and naturally has connection and connection with the Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol. Hornless said again.


    But before he could finish his words, Horned Demon frowned again and said, "Brat, a demon beast is coming!"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. The next moment, his soul suddenly throbbed as the Ancient Dragon Symbol issued out an early warning.


    Lin Tian Deng became vigilant, staring fixedly at his surroundings.


    However, due to their line of sight, they did not see any Demonic Beasts coming after a while.


    But, not long after, Lin Tian heard waves of wild roars, as well as the messy yet powerful sounds of beast hooves ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian immediately adjusted the strength of his entire body to its maximum so that he could attack at any time.


    "This is a fourth level Demonic Beast, Nightmare Tiger ¡­" Horned Demon''s voice suddenly rang out. "Brat, be careful."


    As the demonic beast neared, Horned Demon also sensed what kind of demonic beast it was.


    "Rank 4 beast, it is a pretty good cultivation resource." Lin Tian laughed loudly and directly charged forward.


    "You''re crazy!" Just as the Horned Dragon stopped him, Lin Tian''s body had already rushed forward.


    It was too late. Lin Tian had already arrived in front of the Nightmare Tiger.


    However, as soon as he arrived in front of them, Lin Tian Deng was dumbfounded.


    "Why didn''t you stop me earlier?" At this moment, Lin Tianxin was in great pain.


    "I do want to speak earlier, but do you want me to speak?" Horned Demon roared at Lin Tian.


    "Then, then what should we do now?" Lin Tian immediately felt a wave of guilt.


    "What should we do?" Horned Demon laughed. "It''s up to you!"


    After he finished speaking, he disappeared from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    "Holy shit, you ¡­" Lin Tian felt a burst of pain in his balls and then his gaze returned to the Nightmare Tiger.


    The Nightmare Tiger was a Rank 4 Demonic Beast, all right.


    However, the one standing in front of Lin Tian was not one.


    Rather... A bunch!


    Yes, a bunch.


    Just now Horned Demon said that this Nightmare Tiger was a Rank 4 Demonic Beast. Lin Tian did not even think about it and directly rushed over. A Rank 4 Demonic Beast, with his current strength of the Golden Core Stage Level 8, was not hard to deal with.


    However, this was not difficult to solve. The prerequisite for establishment was to have one group, not a single group!


    Right now, in front of Lin Tian''s eyes, there were impressively dozens of Nightmare Tigers, and he could also hear the arrival of demon beasts one after another. Unexpectedly, it was also a Nightmare Tiger.


    He was already surrounded by the group of Nightmare Tigers.


    Why would such a demonic beast suddenly appear in the Dark Moon Forest?


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but be a little curious. On the map, it was already marked. This place was where demon beasts roamed. However, he didn''t say it was a Nightmare Tiger, nor did he say it was a group of Nightmare Tigers!


    The strength of these Nightmare Tigers were roughly at the first stage of Fourth Order, which was roughly comparable to the strength of a human cultivator at the first stage of the Astral Reaching Realm.


    "Is he going to risk his life?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but think to himself. Now that he was surrounded by these Nightmare Tigers, he could only forcefully fight with one method.


    "Kid, do you know how to be afraid now?" Horned Demon''s voice rang out again. Clearly, he was still very worried about Lin Tian''s safety.


    "I''m afraid, but that''s not the case. It''s just a little tricky ¡­" Lin Tian said this and was about to make a move.


    But the Horned Demon first spoke and stopped Lin Tian: "Don''t worry, this Nightmare Tiger isn''t so easy to deal with ¡­."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but Horned Demon''s words came again: "The Nightmare Tiger is formed from Nightmare. It doesn''t have a physical body, and even if you want to deal with it, you would need to use Spirit power."


    At this point, Horned Demon continued, "But, there''s no need to rush. Other than this Nightmare Tiger, there''s an even stronger demon beast. It''s behind us ¡­"


    "Roar!" Just as Horned Demon''s voice faded away, an earth-shattering roar sounded out once again. Immediately, a loud rumbling sound of a demonic beast stomping on the ground sounded out.

 C332 A mouse

    "There''s more?" Lin Tian was already somewhat speechless in his heart. He never would have thought that after coming here and doing nothing, he would actually run into a group of demon beasts ¡­.


    "I''ve already told you this before. This Nightmare Tiger is formed from the Nightmare Spirit. It doesn''t have a physical form. The real Demonic Beast is behind ¡­" Horned Demon said indifferently, then said, "Brat, seize this opportunity. These are actually quite good cultivation resources ¡­"


    "Cultivation resources?" Lin Tian snorted and said: "You want to face this group of demonic beasts and give it a try?"


    "Brat, you don''t believe me. This sort of sleaziness is indeed useless to others. However, to you, it is a true treasure." Horned Demon unhappily said.


    "Hmm?" Hearing Horned Demon''s words, Lin Tian did not seem like he was joking, so he immediately asked: "What exactly do you want to say? Can you not take a deep breath?"


    "Earth Terminus Yin Corpse!" Horned Demon said indifferently, "This Nightmare Qi can be absorbed by the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse, this is the best nourishment!"


    "How can this nightmare be so effective?" The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, could be considered one of his trump cards, but he had never used it, after all, according to the Great Puppet Technique, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was still in the process of being nurtured, and needed to be fed continuously, just that Lin Tian had yet to come across anything that could feed the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, and Horned Demon had actually said, that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse could absorb the aura?


    If that was the case, it was a good opportunity.


    "However, you still have to get rid of the demon beast behind it. That demon beast is something that can control the Nightmare Tiger''s existence. If you don''t kill that demon beast, you won''t be able to kill it ¡­" Horned Demon said one more time. This time, he really did not say anything more and directly disappeared from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian didn''t ask any further. Ever since Lin Tian''s strength began to steadily increase, Horned Demon had consciously decided not to provide any extra help for Lin Tian. Everything was up to the point, let Lin Tian take care of the rest himself.


    Accompanied by a wave of tremors in the ground, Lin Tian was able to clearly see what kind of demon beast the Nightmare Tiger was.


    Against Lin Tian''s expectations, Lin Tian originally thought it was an extremely large demon beast, but when the demon beast approached, he discovered it was a petite demon beast. It looked like it was the same size as the demon fox that Lin Tian had killed Song Qingyu.


    However, this demonic beast was not a fox, but a ¡­ Mouse?


    Yes, rats.


    When this mouse saw Lin Tian, its bean-like little eyes emitted an extremely strange light.


    Lin Tian''s Immemorial Dragon Talisman immediately issued an early warning.


    "That''s not right!" Lin Tian instantly felt that something wasn''t right, but it was already too late.


    He felt his head become dizzy at once ¡­


    "There''s something wrong with its eyes!" Lin Tian immediately found the reason. Without much time to think, he controlled his soul and the Ancient Dragon Rune suddenly emitted a ray of light, dispersing the dizziness in Lin Tian''s head.


    When Lin Tian regained consciousness, he discovered that the mouse had already rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    At this time, it opened its mouth, revealing its fangs and was about to bite at Lin Tian. Lin Tian didn''t have enough time to think as the Dragon Scale Spear immediately rushed out, thrusting towards the mouse.


    At this time, the mouse also did not notice that Lin Tian had already woken up. It immediately let out a "waa" sound and quickly fled, returning back to the back of the group of Nightmare Tigers.


    With the crisis resolved, Lin Tian immediately let out a sigh of relief, but immediately after, he became somewhat astonished again. Could this demon beast really control the existence of these Nightmare Tigers?


    How could he be so cowardly as to not even fight back, and instead just run away like that?


    However, there was no more threat. Lin Tian also had a memory. This time, he would definitely not look at the mouse''s eyes. Instead, he would look at the Nightmare Tiger that tightly wrapped around him.


    These Nightmare Tigers were clearly controlled by this mouse. Lin Tian actually saw the light in the mouse''s eyes from the Nightmare Tiger''s eyes.


    However, the Nightmare Tiger''s eyes were clearly a bit lifeless, so it didn''t take the initiative to attack Lin Tian.


    Presumably the rat had not yet given the order to attack.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment before deciding to shoot down the enemy and capture the enemy first.


    Since that mouse was the key, he might as well make a move on it first.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian activated his God Transforming Steps to its limit and in the next moment, he once again charged at the rat.


    The dragon scale spear shot out like a dragon, the green dragon roared as it charged towards the rat.


    But when Lin Tian moved, the mouse also moved.


    Its body slightly moved and its eyes emitted a strange light.


    And it was because of this that the Nightmare Tiger, which had been motionless a moment ago, suddenly charged towards Lin Tian.


    "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" One after another, terrifying howls were immediately emitted from the Nightmare Tiger''s mouth.


    In the next moment, the Nightmare Tigers moved. All of the Nightmare Tigers moved in unison, forcing Lin TianAo to give up on the idea of attacking the rat.


    If Lin Tian disregarded everything and insisted on killing that mouse, then, it could be imagined that in the next moment, Lin Tian would be torn to pieces by the group of Nightmare Tigers ¡­


    But the strange thing was that Lin Tian''s attacks were blocked and he stopped his attacks. Just as he was about to kill the Nightmare Tiger, the Nightmare Tiger unexpectedly stopped as well.


    Just like just now, he still surrounded Lin Tian without making a move ¡­ ¡­


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyebrows twitched before once again charging at the rat. The Dragon Scale Spear was once again used. He still wanted to first kill the mouse.


    The matter that shocked Lin Tian happened again. The Nightmare Tiger moved again and charged towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian once again stopped his hand and the Nightmare Tiger also stopped.


    After two probing sessions, Lin Tian was finally able to see that the problem was still this mouse.


    Once he attacked this mouse, this mouse would urge the Nightmare Tiger to attack Lin Tian.


    But the moment he stopped himself, that mouse also made the Nightmare Tiger stop ¡­


    But what was the purpose of the mouse''s actions?


    Thinking of this, the Ancient Dragon Symbol between Lin Tian''s soul once again released a terrifying power, wrapping around his soul so as to not be threatened by the mouse''s gaze. Only then did Lin Tian dare to look at the mouse again ¡­


    That mouse''s face unexpectedly revealed a sly smile. It silently looked at Lin Tian, seeming to ridicule and ridicule him ¡­

 C333 Beast king?

    Lin Tian was very surprised in his heart. This mouse seemed to be psychic, unexpectedly letting out ridicule like a human ¡­


    "Can you understand my words?" Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth at this moment, impressively wanting to communicate with that mouse ¡­.


    "What? What do you want to tell me?" The mouse unexpectedly spoke in human language and directly answered Lin Tian''s question.


    Lin Tian was startled and then asked the mouse: "Are you a beast king?"


    This beast king wasn''t the intention of the beast king, it was the intention of the beast king level experts.


    The classification of demonic beasts was almost the same as that of human martial cultivators.


    Human cultivators were: Qi Cultivation, Qi Sea, Jindan, Stellar River, Life and Death, Fortune, Emperor, Saint, and Spirit Realm.


    These were the nine great realms of human martial arts.


    Monstrous beasts, on the other hand, corresponded to each other and were called level one to nine Monstrous Beasts.


    Rank 1 corresponds to Qi Disciple stage and rank 2 corresponds to Qi Hai stage, and so on and so forth.


    When the demonic beast reached the sixth stage, it could be called a king.


    He is a beast king level expert. A beast king level expert is a sixth level beast, which corresponds to a human Manifestation stage cultivator.


    Creation was to seize the good fortune of Heaven and Earth, to become one''s own.


    When humans reached the Manifestation Realm, they could be considered kings. Therefore, those at the Manifestation Realm were also known as the King''s Realm.


    When humans reached this level, their lifespan would increase significantly. This was the first time they had truly seen the way of the Great Dao.


    Demonic beasts were no exception. However, once a demonic beast reached the realm of a beast king, there would be another terrifying change, which was the ability to materialize into a human form.


    Of course, some demon beasts that possessed extremely powerful bloodlines were born with the ability to take human form.


    For example, Yun Huang. Yun Huang possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, so she was no different from a human. She was born like this.


    However, some of the demon beasts with weak bloodlines were completely different. Only those who had reached the King of Beasts realm could truly take human form and understand human language. They were just like the mouse in front of them, who could speak human language.


    Thus, Lin Tian would ask this mouse if it was a beast king.


    But as soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    A Beast King, logically speaking, should be a Stage Six demon beast. With Lin Tian''s current Golden Core Level 8 strength, no matter what, it was impossible for him to deal with a Stage Six demon beast.


    A Stage Six demon beast could have been killed with a single slap and would definitely not have Lin Tian stand here and talk nonsense. Also, just now, it was very clear that this mouse was a little afraid of Lin Tian!


    Kid, since you know that I am a beast king, why don''t you quickly surrender and obediently give me your own blood so that I can drink it to my heart''s content. If Ancestor can drink it to my heart''s content, I can consider letting you go. Hearing Lin Tian''s question, the mouse rolled its eyes and then said those words.


    "..." Lin Tian was speechless. No wonder he had attracted so many Nightmare Tigers when he had just arrived.


    So it was his blood that attracted the attention of this mouse. No wonder, there was no record of a demon beast in the Dark Moon Forest ¡­


    "You want to drink my blood?" When Lin Tian heard this, he laughed.


    He wasn''t worried anymore. Although this mouse could control a group of Nightmare Tigers, it didn''t mean that Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to handle them.


    It wasn''t hard to get rid of these Nightmare Tigers. Lin Tian''s only worry just now was the mouse and whether there were any other scary methods. But now, it seemed like there wasn''t any.


    This mouse was terrifyingly timid, and the key thing was that it still wanted Lin Tian''s blood ¡­ ¡­


    This matter was much easier to deal with. Lin Tian Deng let out a sigh of relief.


    With the power of the ancestor, he could have easily killed you with a single palm, but the ancestor did not choose to do that. Why? Because the ancestor was soft-hearted and kind, the ancestor wanted to give you a chance to live. The mouse shook its head and said to Lin Tian.


    "Oh, in that case, should I thank you?" Lin Tian said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.


    "That''s not necessary. If you feel guilty, you can give more blood to the ancestor. After all, demon beasts like the ancestor are rare ¡­" Mouse thought that Lin Tian really wanted to give him blood, and immediately became overjoyed as he repeatedly said this to Lin Tian.


    "Hehe, I have never seen such a shameless rat!" Lin Tian suddenly shouted at the mouse: "Do you know, you are the shame of the mouse world!"


    "Hmm?" The mouse was startled by Lin Tian''s sudden angry roar and subconsciously couldn''t help but ask: "These words, where did these words come from?"


    "How can you be so merciful, do you know, so merciful, what other mice think of you?" Lin Tian''s face was full of righteousness: "I am a human and you are a demon beast. If I don''t kill you, you should kill me. How can you let me go?"


    The rat was stupefied. Then, it asked again, "Then, in your opinion, what do you think I should do?"


    "How about this, I have a good suggestion. Why don''t you come over and listen to it?" Lin Tian patiently said.


    "Hmm?" A trace of doubt immediately appeared on the mouse''s face and its eyes also became vigilant.


    "Speak right there. I can hear you, but there''s no one else here. Speak ¡­" But at this moment, one Nightmare Tiger after another appeared, blocking the front of the mouse.


    "Alright, but it''s too far. Can I go a little further?" As Lin Tian said this, his footsteps slightly moved. He arrived around one zhang away from the rat.


    The mouse became even more vigilant, "You, what are you trying to do? I''m warning you, don''t make me angry. Otherwise, do you believe that I won''t let you die on the spot? "


    Lin Tian slightly smiled, then said: "Look, I am a human, I can have endless amounts of blood. As long as I don''t die, my blood is almost endless, and it''s inexhaustible, you should directly capture me, and then feed me every day, just like feeding these Nightmare Tigers. Then, every day, you can take my blood and drink it like it''s water ¡­ ¡­."


    The mouse became interested when Lin Tian said these words. The vigilance in its eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced with a face full of excitement.


    Lin Tian continued to say: "Like this, not only will you protect my life, you can also constantly get fresh blood. Isn''t killing two birds with one stone?"


    "Everyone says that humans and demon beasts are natural enemies, either I kill you, or you kill me. However, we are the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon, so we should cooperate to win. Isn''t that the case ¡­"

 C334 Zooplankton

    At this moment, the mouse''s face was flushed red. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible.


    "What a great cooperation..." The mouse raised its head and was about to speak when it suddenly saw Lin Tian standing in front of it.


    In the next moment, the rat felt that something was wrong.


    "Just now, didn''t you just stand there ¡­" Lao Shu hadn''t even finished speaking when Lin Tian grabbed him by the neck.


    Lin Tian appeared too fast and it was so immersed in Lin Tian''s words that it didn''t react to it. In the end, Lin Tian actually attacked it.


    "Release the Patriarch! Release the Patriarch!" Only then did the mouse realize what had happened!


    "Cunning human, you actually dare to play with the ancestor, the ancestor wants you to be sliced into ten thousand pieces!" The rat was enraged.


    Where''s the win-win deal, the win-win deal that keeps providing me with blood?


    They were all lies, no, they were all lies!


    Thinking like this, the mouse in Lin Tian''s hands had its hair stand on end. Its eyes suddenly focused and became dark and terrifying.


    At the same time, the Nightmare Tiger that was previously well-behaved immediately bared its teeth, ready to make its move.


    "Tell me, if I used a bit more force, would you die from suffocation?" Just at this moment, Lin Tian''s voice faintly sounded out, but within his tone, there was an indescribable iciness.


    In the next moment, the rat seemed to have deflated. Its eyes also stopped moving and returned to its previous appearance ¡­


    At the same time, the Nightmare Tigers petrified again and stood there without moving.


    "Forget it, forget it. The old ancestor has fallen into your hands. A good rat won''t end up in the wrong ¡­" At this moment, the rat said dejectedly, "Tell me, what do you want to do? As long as you release me, the price will be negotiable ¡­"


    "Huh?" Lin Tian Wei was slightly startled. This mouse was truly a strange person. It actually wanted to trade with Lin Tian in exchange for its life.


    "What price can you offer?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "You must be a newcomer. You must be here to explore the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, right?" The mouse''s eyes rolled about before it looked towards Lin Tian.


    "So you actually knew about it?" Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.


    "Every three years, a group of people will appear here. I didn''t know why, but I went to visit the tombs of the many treasures in the past, and only then did I find out ¡­" When Lao Shu said this, he immediately felt that he had leaked the information. He quickly asked, "How about this? If you let go of the ancestor, how about I help you leave the Dark Moon Forest?"


    Saying this, the mouse could not help but say, "I say your luck is bad enough to be sent directly to the Dark Moon Forest ¡­"


    "This place is extremely far from the path of the treasure grave. Moreover, one can only exit through a thin cliff. Thus, the ancestor helped you leave the Dark Moon Forest. Is this sufficient ¡­" The rat continued.


    "Deal!" Against the mouse''s expectations, the mouse originally thought that Lin Tian wanted to demand an exorbitant price, or perhaps to bargain, but in the end, it didn''t.


    Lin Tian cleanly agreed to Mouse''s deal.


    "Beautiful!" Lao Shu was overjoyed and praised Lin Tian: "Ancestor, I like young people like you. Not bad, not bad, the future is bright!"


    Lin Tian indifferently nodded and then said: "Alright, I''ll let you go now. How about it?"


    "It can''t be better!" Lao Shu was overjoyed. "If you let go of the ancestor, he''ll take you away immediately. He knows that there''s a secret passageway!"


    "Alright." Lin Tian immediately let go.


    The rat fell to the ground.


    Without any time to think, the rat wanted to rush forward and escape immediately.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly stepped on the mouse''s tail.


    The rat felt pain and turned around in anger, saying, "What are you doing ¡­"


    The rat only said two words, but it did not say the rest.


    Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear had already arrived in front of the rat''s head.


    "If you have something to say, then we can talk. If you have nothing to do, then don''t try anything..." Lao Shu quickly smiled.


    "Hmm, what other conditions do you want to use to buy your life next?" Lin Tian indifferently nodded and asked.


    "Hmm?" Lao Shu was shocked and asked, "Didn''t I say it already? I will bring you out of the Dark Moon Forest ¡­"


    "No, no, you don''t seem to understand. You said just now that you were taking me out of the Dark Moon Forest, and I let you go, so I''m not asking about the deal just now, the deal just now, we''ve already completed it. You promised to take me out of the Dark Moon Forest, and just now, I did release you, right?" Lin Tian faintly smiled: "But now this is the second time I''ve caught you. What I mean is, this time, what conditions do you intend to use to exchange for your life ¡­ ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Only then did Lao Shu react. "Cunning human, cunning human, Ancestor is going to fight with you ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s dragon scale spear was slightly pointed forward and the mouse immediately swallowed his words. Then, he clenched his teeth and said: "Ancestor, how about I guarantee that you will be sent to the grave of that saint?"


    "Un, not bad. You can leave now ¡­" Lin Tian immediately retracted his spear and released the mouse''s tail.


    Unexpectedly, the rat didn''t rush to escape. Instead, it gently asked, "Are you really going to let me go?"


    "Of course." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and replied.


    "Good boy, you have a good future!" The rat suddenly dashed forward, but when it was halfway there, it felt its body lighten.


    Turning around, Lin Tian once again grabbed onto it ¡­.


    This time, the rat no longer had any naive thoughts.


    It already knew that no matter what, this Lin Tian wouldn''t let it go.


    This was only natural, how could Lin Tian let it go. Putting everything aside, just the mouse said that it had entered the tombs of the many treasured saint, so Lin Tian couldn''t let it go. It was such a good guide, this mouse had lived in the Tian Luo Secret Realm for many years and knew human speech, so the value to Lin Tian naturally went without saying.


    "It''s not a Sky Demon Mouse?" At this moment, Hornless'' surprised voice was suddenly heard.


    But immediately after, Horned Demon shook his head and said, "It''s the Sky Demon Mouse, right? Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been able to control the Nightmare Tiger. It''s just the Sky Demon Tiger, how could it have intelligence and speak human words?"


    After coming and going, Hornless actually did not know where this mouse came from ¡­


    "No, it''s a Celestial Mouse, a Celestial Mouse!" At this time, Horned Demon suddenly cried out towards Lin Tian: "Boy, you''re going to be rich!"

 C335 Resign contract

    "Celestial rat?" Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, then he couldn''t help but ask: "What, this little mouse, could it be that there is something extraordinary about it?"


    "Nonsense, this is more than just extraordinary, this is a prehistoric variant!" Horned Demon said with an unhappy expression, "You brat, aren''t you being a little too insensible? This kind of abnormal species was extinct during the ancient era. I didn''t expect that there would still be such a place like this."


    Horned Demon was both surprised and happy, and then he said, "This Celestial Mouse doesn''t have any other abilities, nor does it have any powerful attacking power, but its eyes and nose are top tier. In ancient times, this kind of demon beast was an auspicious beast, because its eyes are called Heaven''s Eyes, it can see through the ground, and under the ground, it can find powerful treasures. Furthermore, its nose can smell the scent of all the treasures in the world, not only that, this mouse would be born with the ability to pierce holes, it can pierce tunnels ¡­"


    After saying this, Lin Tian''s eyes immediately lit up with golden light.


    He naturally knew what the words of the Horned Demon meant.


    "Now you know how extraordinary this Celestial Mouse is?" Horned Demon smiled and continued to explain, "This Celestial Mouse, in ancient times, it was also known as the Seeking Treasure Mouse. Many almighty and expert people like to keep a Celestial Mouse, because as long as it is around, those experts almost never lack any treasures ¡­"


    "I have really struck it rich ¡­" Lin Tian was overjoyed in his heart. He tightly held onto that Celestial Mouse, afraid that it would run away just like that ¡­


    If it were according to the Horned Demon, this Celestial Mouse might have already plundered all of the Saint''s tomb in the Tian Luo secret realm. This way, he would save himself a lot of trouble.


    And at this time, that Celestial Mouse also felt that something wasn''t right. Especially when it saw Lin Tian''s gaze, that Celestial Rat felt a chill run down his spine.


    "Kid, I''m telling you, you ¡­ don''t even think about hitting me! I''m telling you, the Patriarch has guts! He would rather die than submit!" The Celestial Mouse threatened.


    "Oh, so that''s how it is. Good. Then I''ll send you to the Nether Realm as you wish!" As Lin Tian said this, his hand began to use more strength.


    "Holy sh * t, are you serious?" The Celestial Mouse was shocked at once and shook his head, "Brat, brat, you have to listen to what the ancestor has to say..."


    "Speak." Lin Tian loosened up a bit.


    That sky-high rat let out a long breath, and then said: "Kid, how are you willing to let me go?"


    "Let you go?" Lin Tian directly shook his head and said: "I''ll give you two choices. One, die ¡­"


    "Patriarch, I choose the second!" Skypiercing Mouse righteously called out.


    "Alright, the second one is to follow me ¡­" Lin Tian also felt that it was funny, but he still seriously said.


    "That''s inappropriate, that''s inappropriate. Ancestor, I, by nature, believe in freedom ¡­" The Celestial Mouse still shook his head as he tried to bargain, but Lin Tian''s hand once again tightened around his fist.


    That mouse immediately changed his words, "But it''s not impossible for me to follow you. It''s just that I have one condition."


    Speaking to this, seeing that Lin Tian still wanted to use more strength, the mouse immediately shouted: "Kid, this is my bottom line. If this condition is something you don''t want, then I, the ancestor, would rather die in your hands than follow you ¡­ ¡­"


    "Oh?" Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, but he still smiled and said: "What conditions do you have, why don''t you tell me."


    "Firstly, I can follow you, but you must provide me with your blood!" Skypiercing Mouse first stated his first request.


    To be honest, when the Celestial Mouse made this request, Lin Tian was not surprised at all. The reason why he was able to catch the Celestial Mouse was because of his own blood.


    Lin Tian''s blood could be considered unparalleled treasure after fusing with the blood of the Ancestral Dragon, so it was reasonable that this Celestial Mouse wanted his blood.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian did not intend to refuse. With the ability of a Celestial Mouse, it would definitely be a huge help to him in the future. Thus, Lin Tian naturally would not let the Celestial Mouse go, and if he wanted to continue growing up, he would have to bleed ¡­.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel some pain in his balls. Was this blood still his? A small grass in the Divine Palace had a mouse now. The ice silkworm on his left hand also required Lin Tian''s blood essence.


    If this was the case, would his blood, alone, be sufficient for so many people to drink?


    Lin Tian did not continue to think about it. The reason was that the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he had lost out. He might as well just stop thinking about it.


    At the same time, the ventilating rat also said its second request, which was to help Lin Tian on equal footing. If that Tong Tian Rat didn''t want to continue following Lin Tian one day, then the Tong Tian Rat would be free to leave.


    But this condition, Lin Tian didn''t even think about it and directly refused.


    You want to disembark after getting on my ship? How can it be such a good thing?


    So Lin Tian did not waste time talking to that Celestial Mouse and directly said two choices, or he would sign a contract and follow Lin Tian from now on. Of course, the condition of providing him with the school, naturally included Lin Tian.


    The second choice, naturally, was still death.


    As expected, this Celestial Mouse had the courage to choose the first choice.


    It was better to die than to live. As a primordial and mutated Celestial Mouse, this principle was very clear.


    Therefore, there wasn''t much to say between the two of them as they immediately signed the contract.


    Even though the Celestial Mouse still refused to budge and grumbled in dissatisfaction, he had already signed the contract. No matter how much he said, it would be of no use ¡­


    The origins of these Nightmare Tigers were useless to Lin Tian, but to the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, this was the best nourishment. Therefore, Lin Tian directly released the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, he controlled the large puppet technique recorded on the book and directly controlled the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, absorbing all the Nightmare Tigers into his mouth.


    These Nightmare Tigers were formed from the nightmares. Therefore, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was naturally able to absorb the nightmares.


    There were about a dozen Nightmare Tigers in total, but they had all disappeared.


    At this moment, the Celestial Mouse also replied honestly, "There is a swamp at the junction of the Dark Moon Forest and the cliff. All of the Nightmare Qi is emitted from that swamp."


    The Celestial Mouse had the "Heaven''s Eye". Firstly, the Heaven''s Eye allowed him to see through the ground. Secondly, it had the ability to confuse others with it, allowing the Celestial Mouse to use its Heaven''s Eye to create a Nightmare Tiger.


    Knowing that there was such a swamp, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate at all and directly let the Celestial Mouse take him to the swamp ¡­.

 C336 These are all mine now!

    This swamp was called Corpse Mountain Swamp. It was said that this place was the burial ground of the enemies killed by the Sage.


    From this, it could be seen that this Sage Duo Bao was actually a narrow-minded person. The enemy he hunted down actually even specially placed their corpses within his own small universe. This was truly a bit abnormal.


    But perverts had their own benefits. For example, this was a good thing for Lin Tian.


    The Corpse Mountain had accumulated this kind of nightmare over the years.


    But now, they had all taken advantage of Lin Tian.


    These things, to the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, were a great tonic.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly controlled the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse. It drilled into the ground and began to absorb the nightmarish aura.


    Perceiving the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse to continuously absorb Nightmare and cultivate, Lin Tian finally relaxed. He then said to the Celestial Mouse: "What, now you can take me to your cave to have a look right ¡­ ¡­"


    The Celestial Mouse could detect treasures as well as being a typical miser. Basically, only good things would be taken away by the Celestial Mouse and placed in its own cave abode.


    This is its nature, nothing else.


    The Celestial Rat looked as if he already knew about it, but he had no choice. He had signed a contract with Lin Tian, and they were both prosperous, and one was dead. Moreover, Lin Tian was always threatening his life ¡­ ¡­


    The Celestial Rat''s cave was located in the middle of the cliff.


    Line Cliff was a very high cliff. If one wanted to pass through it, they would have to find a steel chain. However, this Celestial Mouse had dug through it and dug a small cave in the middle of the cliff.


    At this moment, Lin Tian and the Heavenly Mouse had arrived at its cave abode.


    After arriving at the Heavenly Mouse''s immortal cave, Lin Tian was nearly blinded by the treasures in the immortal cave.


    Lin Tian almost had some doubts. Could it be that this Heavenly Mouse had dug up all the tombs of that many treasures ¡­.


    "What kind of joke is this? Who am I, the Ancestor? The Ancestor is a Celestial Mouse, the only primordial being left behind in the ancient era. Although there are countless treasures, there are only so many that I can barely catch a glimpse of. What''s left is a pile of trash, how could I possibly take a fancy to them?" The Celestial Mouse seemed to have seen through Lin Tian''s thoughts and couldn''t help but sneer.


    "Then these treasures ¡­" Lin Tian watched in a daze.


    Most of these treasures were spirit weapons, top medicinal pills, and even some strange little things.


    Of course, apart from this, there was also a large amount of spirit jade.


    This Spirit Jade was different from Spirit Stones. Spirit Stones were one-time consumables. Once the Spirit Stones were used up, these Spirit Stones would immediately turn into dust, and would no longer be of any use.


    However, this was not the case with the spiritual jades. The spiritual jades were actually more like treasures, treasures that could store spiritual energy.


    After completely exhausting the Spiritual Aura within the Spiritual Jades, the Spiritual Jades were still able to absorb the Spiritual Aura again and again.


    Just what kind of existence was that saint Duo Bao? How could he possibly want those inferior things like spirit stones and even spirit crystals? It was likely that the saint Duo Gui did not even put the spirit stones in his eyes.


    That was why so many precious jades were found here.


    But now, all these spiritual jades belonged to him, Lin Tian.


    "We''re all family, there''s no need to be so polite. Whatever you like, just take it." The Celestial Mouse waved his hand as he spoke to Lin Tian in a rather heroic manner.


    "These." Lin Tian pointed at the spirit jade.


    Then, he pointed towards those Spirit Treasures and then to all the treasures. Then, he said: "All these, I have my eyes on ¡­"


    "¡­" It knew that bringing this Lin Tian here was the same as leading a wolf into the house. Now, it seemed that it was right, Lin Tian was just like a wolf that had entered the house. These things were actually all taken away by it.


    As he said that, Lin Tian''s soul moved. A huge suction force suddenly appeared in the stone tablet in the Divine Palace, directly pulling all the treasures into the stone tablet.


    There were many treasures that Lin Tian actually didn''t need, but these things were a pity. In the future, perhaps he could put all these treasures at the auction and not only could he get a huge amount of spirit stones, he could even exchange them for treasures that he could use.


    Lin Tian Deng beamed, looking at the Celestial Mouse and found it somewhat pleasing to the eye.


    However, Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly asked the Celestial Mouse how to leave this place.


    The Dark Moon Forest was still too far away from the tomb of the Great Saint. Moreover, on this trip to the Tian Luo Secret Realm, Lin Tian''s most important objective was to investigate the location of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    At first, Lin Tian thought that this Celestial Mouse might be able to obtain the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, but now, it seems like he simply wanted it to be as simple as he could. Naturally, Sage DuoBao knew the value of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, and he had also fallen because of it.


    However, he definitely wouldn''t feel the same in the Dark Moon Forest, because his Immemorial Dragon Talisman didn''t sense the same fluctuations.


    Moreover, there was another reason.


    That person was Yan Wuhen.


    Ever since he knew of Yan Wuhen''s identity, Lin Tian had always felt as if he was holding back. If he didn''t get rid of Yan Wuhen, and didn''t know what other schemes the Blood Demon Sect had behind his back, Lin Tian would never feel at ease.


    It was only because the Blood Demon Sect was too strange that he couldn''t help but be careful.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian began to worry for Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er''s safety.


    They were transported to a completely different place in the Tian Luo Secret Realm.


    However, the Five Great Academies all had Blood Demon Sect pawns. Only Lin Ming knew of this, and the others did not.


    If Yan Wuhen had colluded with the other Blood Demon Sect chess pieces in the past, they would have gathered together to deal with the other students.


    Lin Tian and the others were in the light, and Yan Wuhen was in the dark. Like this, they would definitely be defeated one by one.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became even more worried. He directly asked the Celestial Mouse how it left this place.


    "Let''s go, Patriarch." Let''s go. The Celestial Mouse did not waste time speaking and directly brought Lin Tian to the depths of his own cave. He took out an extremely exquisite hammer like spirit artifact and lightly tapped at the wall of his cave.


    Suddenly, the wall shattered, revealing a deep and somewhat dark tunnel.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian blankly stared at the tunnel and immediately felt that this Heavenly Mouse was the right one to rob him!

 C337 True and false burial!

    But Lin Tian didn''t have enough time to sigh and directly followed the Celestial Mouse into the tunnel.


    The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse would not be able to completely absorb the Nightmare Qi in a short period of time. Moreover, Lin Tian had mastered the large puppet technique. Deep in his heart, he could sense the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    In this way, he did not need to worry about the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse.


    As they continued forward, the speed of a man and a mouse was incredibly fast.


    After half a day of effort, Lin Tian could faintly feel light coming from the tunnel.


    "Kid, don''t blame me for not reminding you that once you exit this tunnel, you''ll be on a cliff. You have to be careful!" As the Celestial Mouse spoke, he slowed down his pace.


    Not long after, the two of them finally passed through the long and serene tunnel and arrived at another cliff.


    Outside the tunnel was a large stone platform.


    Lin Tian had just come out and stood on top of the stone platform. Looking down at the scenery below the stone platform, he was immediately stunned.


    Beneath the stone platform was a cliff that was tens of thousands of feet high. Clouds and mist lingered below, but the sounds of flowing water could be vaguely heard.


    Obviously, there was a lake or a pond at the bottom.


    Not far from the stone platform, there was a massive waterfall. The waterfall hung between the cliffs, and the sound of flowing water was deafening.


    The Celestial Mouse looked at Lin Tian''s shocked face and could not help but laugh: "Brat, were you shocked by this scene ¡­ ¡­"


    Back then, the first time the ancestor dug a tunnel, he did not do a good job and dug it under the waterfall. If the ancestor''s reaction was not fast enough, he would have been swept away by the waterfall.


    The Celestial Mouse still wanted to say more about his past achievements, but was abruptly interrupted by Lin Tian: "Is this place where the tomb of Sage Duo Bao is buried?"


    "That''s right!" The heavenly mouse nodded.


    Look, there is a waterfall flowing directly here, and below it is a bottomless abyss. The cliffs on both sides of the cliff, human martial practitioners, even with the ability to transcend the heavens, would not be able to come here. This place is filled with danger and is a Feng Shui treasure, so it is naturally an excellent place to bury one''s bones ¡­ The Celestial Mouse shook his head, and then said: "Look, on the other side of the cliff, isn''t there a golden coffin?"


    Lin Tian looked up. Indeed, it was as the Celestial Mouse had said. On the other side of the cliff, there was a huge golden coffin. Currently, it was firmly nailed to the cliff.


    But as he looked at the golden coffin, Lin Tian''s heart was thrown into turmoil.


    "This, this is not right!" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with disbelief.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian directly took out the map that the king and the Azure Province college had given him.


    The Tianluo Realm opened once every three years.


    After all these years, countless students had entered the Tian Luo Secret Realm.


    That was why they had the map in their hands.


    However, the map in their hands that recorded the tomb of the saint was not here at all!


    This was a place that Lin Tian could not find on the map ¡­ ¡­


    The reason why Lin Tian was so sure was because on the map, it was obvious that the burial ground of that saint was a desert!


    No matter how foolish Lin Tian was, he knew what the meaning of desert was.


    This place, this cliff, where could he see a grain of sand?


    "Huh?" When the Celestial Mouse saw Lin Tian''s actions, he couldn''t help but go closer to take a look. Only then did he discover that Lin Tian still had a map.


    "The tomb of the saint?" The Celestial Mouse also stared at the map in astonishment as he pointed at the marks on the map with his little claws and cried out involuntarily.


    He naturally knew what that meant, but he could not help but shout out, "Impossible! Ancestor, I have been here for at least a thousand years and I have basically completely understood everything! The Ancestor has a pair of heavenly eyes and a spiritual nose, there is no way that he could be wrong! This place is the real tombs of many treasures! "


    Lin Tian shook his head and then silently put away the map.


    He naturally didn''t suspect the heavenly mouse in the slightest. Searching for treasures, this was almost like a heavenly mouse''s instinct.


    Therefore, since the Celestial Mouse said that this place was the tomb of a treasure, then there was no doubt about it.


    However, the map showed the experiences of generations of students. Naturally, they would not lie or hide their identities.


    Moreover, there were many students who had found treasures in the tomb, so they naturally felt that it was also a tombstone.


    As a result, there were actually two tombs with many treasures buried. This proved that one of the tombs with many treasures was definitely fake!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian began to understand. If a multi-treasure saint had accumulated so many treasures in his life, he would have guessed long ago that the tomb he died in would probably be coveted by others.


    Thus, two tombs have already been prepared to confuse the public ¡­


    However, the reason why he did that was definitely not because he did not want to be disturbed by his descendants. More importantly, it was because he might not want others to discover anything ¡­


    For example, he had the Coiling Dragon spirit rune!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Deng''s heart skipped a beat. If it was according to that guess, then it was very possible. In other words, this Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol could very well be hidden here?


    Lin Tian''s heart finally began to thump loudly. This guess was too unbelievable, to the point where he felt like he was dreaming.


    Lin Tian licked his dry lips and finally couldn''t help but ask: "Have you ever opened the golden coffin of that saint?"


    What a joke! The golden coffin is so far away, and this place is an endless abyss. The heavenly mouse replied.


    "Then what about your treasures?" Lin Tian once again asked in shock.


    "Nonsense, can''t you read it?" The Celestial Mouse rolled its eyes and then pointed at Lin Tian. This time, it was pointing at the cliff.


    Only now did Lin Tian realize that in their area of the cliff, there were also tens of large and small stone platforms.


    Atop these stone platforms, there were also gold coffins of varying sizes.


    It was exactly the same as the golden coffin on the other side.


    "This is the tomb of a saint. How can it not have some treasures to accompany it in death?" The Celestial Mouse smiled and said, "Patriarch, I am still the strongest. All the gold coffins in this area have been opened by Ancestor, but I did not find the corpse of that many treasures ¡­"


    "Then, Duo Bao''s corpse must be on top of that golden coffin!" Lin Tian''s gaze suddenly turned towards the golden coffin on the other side.


    On the other side, there was only one golden coffin.


    Since there weren''t any treasure bones found within the golden coffin, then naturally, there must be many treasures within the golden coffin.


    Of course, this was a fake tomb. The tomb in the desert was a real tomb.


    However, there was no use thinking too much. Whether it was true or false, he could tell with a single glance. Perhaps the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol was truly in that golden coffin.


    However, the Ancient Dragon Symbol still had no reaction up till now. Moreover, it seemed that if one wanted to reach the other side, it would also be extremely difficult ¡­

 C338 Crossing the abyss

    Seemingly knowing what Lin Tian was thinking, this time, the Tong Tian Mouse also said: "If you want to go to the other side, then I, the ancestor, have no other choice. I have plundered all the gold coffins on the cliff but I did not touch the gold coffins on the other side.


    "Even you can''t make it through?" Lin Tian''s face was currently filled with surprise as he looked at the Celestial Mouse. His heart was filled with disbelief.


    This Celestial Mouse was obviously not a good rat. All of the other buried treasures of Sage Duotian had been stolen by it. How could it let go of the golden coffin on the other side? Moreover, from the looks of it now, there seemed to be something better in the golden coffin on the other side.


    This was obviously not because it wanted to give up, but because it couldn''t go to the other side either!


    This is a little difficult. He originally wanted to rely on this Celestial Mouse, but from the looks of it now, he has to rely on himself ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and began to inquire about the details of his own Divine Manor.


    "The golden coffin on the other side seems to have sealing power!" At this moment, Horned Demon also muttered to himself.


    "Power of sealing?" Lin Tian was even more stunned.


    "That''s right. However, since you have the power of the seal, it is normal for your Ancient Dragon Symbol to not be able to sense the energy fluctuations coming from the Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol." Horned Demon softly said.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was stunned, but he quickly said: "You mean to say that you have already confirmed that there is a Coiling Dragon spirit rune in the golden coffin?"


    "Eight, nine out of ten!" "After Duo Bao obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, he was hunted down by almost all the top masters on the Sky Dragon Continent. However, in the end, no one obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, so naturally, this Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol should still be in Duo Bao''s hands. Naturally, after being hunted down, Duo Bao learned of the news that many treasures had fallen, so, it is very likely that the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol was sealed in one''s own coffin."


    Horned Demon slowly said, "This golden coffin also has a seal inside, and it''s in such a secretive place that no one else is able to find it. It''s possible to guess that the tomb here is the real treasure tomb ¡­"


    "Then naturally, if the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol is truly in this little world, then it must be in that golden coffin!"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head. If the Horned Demon said it like this, then it made Lin Tian''s heart feel more at ease. But, how to pass through this bottomless abyss and reach the other side seemed to be a problem ¡­ ¡­


    "Kid, why are you riding a donkey? Have you forgotten about that Vampiric Demonic Vine?" At this moment, Hornless couldn''t help but speak.


    "Grass?" Lin Tian was even more stunned.


    "Yeah, that Vampiric Demonic Vine, don''t you know how terrifying it is?" Horned Demon woke up from his dream.


    Lin Tian immediately remembered. Back then in the Withering Bloom Swamp, the Vampiric Demonic Vine was almost incomparably terrifying. It could grow endless vines that would almost engulf the entire swamp.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Deng became excited. He hadn''t thought that this little grass would actually be useful here!


    Lin Tian didn''t think anymore. With a slight movement of his spiritual will, the divine soul in the Divine Mansion began to communicate with the small grass.


    "Why did you disturb my sleep!" The small grass was awakened by Lin Tian and it became a little impatient.


    But Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly took out a few drops of his own blood essence before floating in the Divine Manor.


    "Is it time to eat?" Little Grass immediately licked her lips. As she looked at the blood essence, she said with some excitement.


    "Before you eat, do me a favor!" Lin Tian explained his thoughts to Little Grass.


    With little effort, the grass readily agreed.


    Without a doubt, Lin Tian''s blood essence was a fatal temptation.


    The little grass slightly moved, and came out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace. At the same time, the Celestial Mouse on the side seemed to have suddenly sensed an extremely terrifying aura surging towards it. Almost without hesitation, the Celestial Mouse''s hairs stood up, and it ran away ¡­


    "Damn, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine!" Seeing that the grass officially came out, the Celestial Mouse cursed. With a ''swoosh'', he disappeared without a trace.


    "What are you panicking for?" Lin Tian understood that the Celestial Mouse and the Vampiric Demonic Vine were existences at the same time. Therefore, it was not strange for them to know how terrifying the Vampiric Demonic Vine was.


    However, Lin Tian still did not expect that the Heavenly Mouse would have such a reaction. This was something he did not expect.


    However, it could also be seen how frightening this little grass was.


    The little grass seemed to have sensed the aura of the Celestial Mouse and was puzzled. It then moved its body slightly and a huge vine drilled out from its body at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it had pulled the Celestial Mouse through the tunnel.


    "Help, help!" From the tunnel came the miserable shrieks of the Celestial Mouse.


    "Don''t hurt it ¡­" Lin Tian Deng also immediately shouted out. This Celestial Mouse still had some use after this. If he were to be killed by Little Grass now, that would be a great loss to Lin Tian.


    Little Grass nodded her head slightly and said to Lin Tian Dao, "I only ¡­ I seem to have sensed a familiar aura from its body ¡­"


    In the blink of an eye, the Celestial Mouse was firmly pulled out by a vine.


    "Boy, boy, quickly save Ancestor, quickly save Ancestor ¡­" When the Heavenly Mouse saw Lin Tian, it was as if it had seen its savior. It crazily roared, because it naturally knew how terrifying the Vampiric Demonic Vine was. Otherwise, it would not have such a reaction.


    "Don''t worry, I''ve already signed a contract with this Vampiric Demonic Vine, it won''t kill you. It will just be interested in you ¡­" Lin Tian had a strange expression as he spoke.


    "Sign the contract!" The Celestial Mouse''s eyes immediately opened wide, and he cried out in shock, "You''re crazy! How dare you sign a contract with this thing!"


    "That''s not right. How could it sign a contract with a human?" The Celestial Rat thought of something again. However, in the next moment, the Celestial Mouse seemed to have understood something and directly asked: "Is it because of your blood!?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head, but didn''t give the Celestial Mouse an explanation. Instead, he communicated with Little Grass.


    A vine once again drilled out from within the grass. This vine instantly wrapped around Lin Tian. Immediately, tens of thousands of vines appeared around the grass. These vines were able to firmly cling onto the rock just now.


    In the next moment, countless tendrils began to grow wildly. In the blink of an eye, these endless tendrils had actually traversed across the fathomless abyss.


    Lin Tian and the Celestial Mouse only saw a blur in front of their eyes. In the next moment, a man and a mouse suddenly came out from this cliff and arrived on top of another cliff.


    The two sides of the cliff had the same structure and corresponded to each other. There was a stone platform on the other side of the shore, and there was also a stone platform on the other side.


    At this moment, a man, a rat, and a grass came to this stone platform.


    As for the golden coffin that had buried Sage Duo Bao, it was now right in front of them!

 C339 When the golden coffin opened spiritual talisman emerged!

    "He actually, just like that, came over?" The Celestial Mouse could not help but feel his vision blurring as he stuttered when he spoke.


    Little Grass was currently stubbornly staring at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian immediately reacted. The few drops of blood essence just now fell into the grass''s mouth. The grass opened its mouth and swallowed the drops of blood essence. Then, it said: "I''m going to sleep. If there''s anything, ask me ¡­ ¡­"


    Finished speaking, he went back into Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and intertwined with Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian said to the Celestial Mouse: "Alright, I''ll leave the following matter to you!"


    This was the nature of a Celestial Mouse. To put it nicely, this was called digging for treasures. To put it bluntly, it was digging for graves.


    However, this was its natural instinct. The Celestial Mouse possessed the Heaven''s Eyes and a spiritual nose. This was its natural instinct, otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to find its way here.


    Now that he had opened the coffin, he still had to find this Celestial Mouse ¡­.


    The Celestial Mouse did not hesitate either as he smiled, "Don''t worry, these are Ancestor''s specialties!"


    After seeing that golden coffin, this Celestial Mouse''s eyes almost started glowing with a golden light.


    It pulled out a thread from nowhere and muttered something. In the next moment, that thread suddenly rushed towards the golden coffin.


    "Yes!" The Celestial Mouse let out a soft shout and in the next moment, the thread wrapped itself tightly around the golden coffin.


    At the same time, the Celestial Mouse quickly followed the threads and climbed onto the golden coffin.


    When Lin Tian saw it, he was both shocked and amazed. However, he also knew how the Heavenly Mouse had looted all the gold coffins on the cliff just now.


    After reaching the top of the golden coffin, the Celestial Mouse did not continue to move. Instead, he carefully sized up the golden coffin and took out the small hammer he had used before, repeatedly striking the golden coffin.


    However, after knocking for a long time, the Celestial Mouse finally lost interest. Not long later, he once again followed the thread and returned to the stone platform.


    Seeing Lin Tian look at it with a face full of astonishment, the Celestial Mouse lightly shook his head and said: "Boy, this is out of the question, the ancestor''s methods are completely useless against the golden coffin. Inside the coffin, there seems to be an extremely powerful sealing power, and with the ancestor''s strength, he is completely unable to break it open ¡­."


    At this point, the heavenly rat was still a bit annoyed, cursing the many treasures.


    Lin Tian''s heart sank. Sure enough, Horned Demon was right. There was indeed a sealing power on this golden coffin.


    Earlier, he thought that he could use the power of this Celestial Mouse to break the seal on the golden coffin, but now, it seems that he was indulging in a wild fantasy ¡­


    After all, this was a seal left behind by a Saint realm expert. It was really a little too difficult for a Celestial Mouse to break the seal ¡­


    "Hornless, this sealing power?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask for help.


    "Try to break it open first ¡­" Horned Demon muttered to himself.


    Even though it was the seal left behind by a Saint realm expert, it was still a precious treasure. After all, it had fallen for such a long time and the power of laws of a Saint might have been passed down for a long time.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. His Spirit power was boundless and in the blink of an eye, he had already charged straight at the golden coffin.


    Sensing the arrival of Lin Tian''s Spirit power, the golden coffin instantly started to violently tremble.


    Not long after, a huge suction force suddenly came from the golden coffin and pulled on Lin Tian''s Spirit power as if wanting to devour it.


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat and he immediately pulled back his mental force, but it was already too late to pull back now.


    On top of the golden coffin, there seemed to be an incomparably huge attraction that directly devoured more than half of Lin Tian''s Mental Energy.


    Not only that, although Lin Tian had pulled out the remaining half of the Mental Energy, the Devouring Power was like maggots as it crazily arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian felt his soul fly into the sky, as if in the next moment, his soul would be directly sucked away by this enormous suction force ¡­


    Lin Tian was scared out of his wits. Could it be that this was left behind by that Duo Bao, and he wanted to possess his body?


    If that attractive force swallowed his soul, then he would be a living corpse!


    But at this moment, the suction force seemed to have wrapped itself around Lin Tian. The more Lin Tian wanted to get rid of it, the more he had no way of getting rid of it.


    Not long after, another giant spirit body rushed out of the golden coffin.


    That spirit body was like an ancient monster. At this moment, it opened its bloody mouth and fiercely bit towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian couldn''t dodge in time and could only watch the Ancient Devil''s charge at him.


    But just at this moment, within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, a light suddenly shone out. The Ancient Dragon Rune between his soul and Divine Soul''s eyebrows wildly rushed out at this moment.


    "Moo!" A strange roar was immediately emitted from Lin Tian''s mouth.


    In the next moment, a shining dragon soul rushed out from Lin Tian''s body and pounced towards the ancient vicious spirit ¡­


    The Celestial Mouse on the side was currently blankly watching Lin Tian''s change. Its entire body couldn''t help but begin to tremble.


    "This, this ¡­" The Celestial Mouse''s lips quivered. He wanted to say something, but he was unable to utter a single word.


    "Roar!" When the Ancient Era''s fierce spirit faced the dragon soul, it also unwillingly let out an angry roar.


    In the next moment, the dragon soul and the ancient fierce spirit collided.


    The terrifying power of the explosion seemed to have engulfed everything ¡­


    However, after the ancient vicious spirit collided with the dragon soul, it immediately disintegrated and disappeared into thin air.


    The dragon soul also seemed to have suffered a heavy injury. It withdrew its light and returned to Lin Tian''s Divine Manor.


    However, at this moment, the radiance of the Ancient Dragon Symbol in Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace had completely dimmed down.


    At the same time, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes. With a wow, he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    His complexion was incomparably pale. His Divine Palace was constantly trembling, and his soul was also becoming a bit dispirited.


    But at this time, the golden coffin suddenly let out an explosive sound, and the coffin''s lid flew out. At this time, the inside of the golden coffin emitted a huge light.


    In the next moment, a very strange tattoo flew out of the golden coffin.


    Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol!


    Lin Tian''s heart was incomparably excited, he didn''t have the time to pay attention to his injuries just now and fiercely rushed towards the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    Lin Tian used the God Transforming Steps to the extreme and in the blink of an eye, he actually leaped into the air, wanting to grab the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    But at this moment, Hornless'' surprised and angry voice came from the Divine Manor, "Brat, stop!"

 C340 The calculation of dobao

    "Hmm?" Lin Tian abruptly retracted his hand. In the next moment, his steps suddenly missed and his body was about to uncontrollably fall down the cliff.


    At this time, Lin Tian came to his senses and immediately shouted: "Celestial Mouse!"


    The still in a daze on the side, the Celestial Mouse immediately regained his senses. The thread from just now shot out, instantly trapping Lin Tian before pulling him up.


    Lin Tian was still a little shaken, but not far away, there was suddenly a huge explosion.


    The man and the mouse turned their head to look, and only then did they realize that the talisman that had just rushed out had suddenly exploded, blowing up everything in their surroundings!


    Even this enormous cliff trembled a couple of times from the explosion. From time to time, falling stones would roll down from above his head.


    "Hiss!" Even though Lin Tian had seen a lot, seeing the scene in front of him, he still felt some lingering fear.


    His back was now soaked with cold sweat.


    If he did not have the slightest bit of doubt towards Horned Demon and stopped himself in time, it was obvious that if he had snatched that talisman just now, then what would have happened after that ¡­


    No matter how strong his physical body was, he should have already been turned into ashes ¡­


    "What ¡­ What is going on?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask Horned Demon.


    "Kid, why are you in such a hurry? That thing is not some Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, it is only a fake one. However, that Soul Symbol actually has such a terrifying explosive power.


    Horned Demon could not help but complain, but he was also a bit afraid. If he hadn''t felt that something was wrong with the dragon talisman just now and stopped Lin Tian ahead of time, perhaps Lin Tian would have already died ¡­


    However, this couldn''t be blamed on Lin Tian.


    An extremely powerful talisman came out from the golden coffin. Moreover, it was about to float down the cliff. No one would sit and idly watch as they retrieved the talisman.


    It could only be said that Sage Sage had already calculated everything beforehand ¡­


    This golden coffin is located on this side of the cliff, it''s extremely dangerous, and its location is extremely difficult to find. Ordinary people would not be able to come here, and this is the first barrier, and then, this golden coffin also contains the seal of many treasures. This is the second barrier. Horned Demon coldly said, "It seems that Saint Duo Bao has already been prepared."


    What Horned Demon said was right. This many treasured saint seemed to have already calculated everything and even after his death, he had designed such a mechanism. But from this, it could be seen how precious the things in the golden coffin were.


    Furthermore, considering how many treasures had fallen, it was not difficult to determine that there was definitely a Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol inside the golden coffin!


    And these traps had indeed achieved the goal of many treasures. One must know that just the first difficulty alone was enough to cause that Celestial Mouse to fall.


    What kind of existence was a Celestial Mouse? It just couldn''t cross such a wide cliff to arrive here.


    Moreover, even if the Heavenly Mouse came here, it wouldn''t be able to open the seal on the golden coffin.


    However, even if Duo Bao calculated everything, he would still not think that he would encounter a freak like Lin Tian. In the first trial, with the help of the small grass, it was not difficult at all for Lin Tian.


    In the second stage of the seal, although Lin Tian triggered the seal''s power, in the end, he still let the Ancient Dragon Rune transform into a dragon soul and break the seal''s power.


    As for the fake talisman for the third trial, because of the Horned Demon''s reminder, it was unable to cause any harm to Lin Tian.


    But even so, Lin Tian was still injured, especially his soul. It was the first time his soul received such a heavy injury.


    Lin Tian''s heart calmed down for a moment. After that, he once again asked Horned Demon: "Now, do you want to try it out?"


    Horned Demon didn''t dare to be sure. Who knows if Duo Bao still had any more tricks up his sleeve ¡­


    "You should recover from your injuries first. Logically speaking, if the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol was in that golden coffin, then your Ancient Dragon Symbol would definitely have a reaction. How come until now, this Ancient Dragon Symbol has no reaction at all?" Horned Demon hesitated for a moment before he said.


    Indeed, even until now, the Primordial Dragon Symbol in Lin Dong''s Heavenly God Palace still did not show any reaction.


    Lin Tian did not think anymore and sat down cross-legged. He began to continuously heal the injuries to his soul.


    The Celestial Mouse by the side was rolling its eyes around. No one knew what it was thinking about ¡­


    "How about, you heal your injuries here and I''ll go up to take a look?" The Celestial Mouse could not help but say to Lin Tian.


    "Yes." Lin Tian didn''t think too much. This Celestial Mouse had the Heaven''s Eyes. He might be able to see something that neither he nor the Horned Demon could see.


    Skypiercing Mouse followed the same pattern and once again used that thread to grab onto the golden coffin. He followed the thread and climbed onto the coffin.


    Naturally, the golden coffin was completely undamaged. Even though the talisman had exploded, it didn''t harm the golden coffin in the slightest.


    Of course, from this, it could be seen that even though the Great Sage had used a fake talisman to confuse his vision, he had still calculated everything. The speed at which the talisman descended and the time at which it exploded were all within his control.


    The golden coffin would not suffer any damage.


    After the Celestial Mouse entered the golden coffin, he was dumbfounded.


    "This son of a b * tch, Duo Bao! There''s nothing inside the golden coffin!" As it spoke, it held its own small hammer and crazily hammered the golden coffin.


    But at the same time, that Celestial Mouse immediately felt a violent shake and huge rocks started falling from the top of its head.


    At this time, Lin Tian, who was sitting on the stone platform, also felt the stone platform tremble.


    Not only that, he could even feel the entire cliff trembling crazily.


    "This is bad!" Lin Tian warned himself in his heart. Without further ado, he summoned out the grass.


    At this time, the golden coffin suddenly lost its weight and fell to the ground.


    However, at this time, the Celestial Mouse inside the golden coffin was screaming crazily, "Kid, brat, quickly save the Royal Elder!"


    The cliff began to slide down completely. There was no longer any support points, and countless mice could go there.


    Currently, Lin Tian was also wrapped by the small grass and was hovering in the air.


    "Save it!" Lin Tian Deng opened his mouth.


    A vine immediately rushed out, pulling the Celestial Mouse back into the golden coffin.


    The Celestial Mouse''s soul had yet to be settled, but Horned Demon opened his mouth once more and said, "Boy, look! What is that!?"

 C341 Coiling dragon!

    Hearing Horned Demon''s voice, Lin Tian also suddenly turned his head and saw a scene that he would never forget.


    The cliff instantly collapsed. Countless falling stones tumbled down at this moment. However, when all the falling stones landed, a golden light was actually emitted from the center of the cliff.


    Under the glint of golden light, it was so stimulating that Lin Tian couldn''t even open his eyes.


    Lin Tian stared fixedly at that golden light, his eyes unblinking.


    However, a moment later, the golden light suddenly contracted. A moment later, the golden light dissipated and a figure actually appeared.


    "Many Treasures Saint?" Lin Tian shouted in shock: "He''s not dead yet?"


    The figure gradually revealed itself, then turned into a divine looking, middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man''s eyes were closed, and there was no sense of peace on his face.


    Lin Tian looked at the middle-aged man with a face full of astonishment. One could imagine the shock in his heart.


    However, although that middle-aged man looked like a living person, his face didn''t have any reaction. After a moment, the Saint Master Duo Bao suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the horizon. He let out a desolate sigh. "An eternal peace?"


    Once he said this, his body, which was originally as warm as jade, actually turned into a wisp of green smoke that slowly scattered. Finally, it disappeared from this world.


    As Duo Bao''s body disappeared, the next moment, a huge ''moo'' sound could be heard once again.


    A giant talisman suddenly drilled out from Duo Bao''s body. In an instant, that talisman had transformed into a huge, spiraling dragon that roared at Lin Tian ¡­


    Lin Tian''s body violently trembled, but it wasn''t because he was afraid. He was in an almost uncontrollable state. His heart suddenly thumped, thump, thump.


    Not long after, the beating sound became faster and faster. Lin Tian felt as if his heart was about to jump out.


    At the same time, the whirlpool within his dantian began to rapidly circulate. The Primordial Dragon Symbol within his Divine Palace also fiercely jumped out from between the brows of his soul.


    After the Ancient Dragon Symbol appeared, it suddenly erupted with a powerful and terrifying force that swept through everything in an instant.


    "It''s the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol!" Lin Tian opened his mouth with great difficulty and quietly looked at the various phenomena in the world.


    "Moo!" In the next moment, the Ancient Dragon Symbol once again transformed into a giant dragon as it suddenly roared out.


    In the next moment, the nine-layered dragon abruptly opened its eyes and flew into the dragon soul formed by the ancient dragon talisman.


    "Coiling dragon into the body, ten thousand sects into one!" Just at this time, Lin Tian''s ears suddenly transmitted that horned youth''s voice.


    It was like sighing, but also like sighing.


    After receiving the Coiling Dragon Soul, the dragon that the Ancient Dragon Symbol had transformed into became more and more solid.


    In the next moment, the dragon soul returned to Lin Tian''s body.


    "Ugh!" Lin Tian suddenly felt his body tremble as an indescribable feeling of refreshment and comfort surged into his heart.


    The injury he had just received was now completely gone. Not only that, Lin Tian felt an indescribable clarity in his heart.


    With a thought, he wanted to see what kind of changes had occurred after he absorbed the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    At this time, Lin Tian''s spirit seemed to be incomparably solid. Presumably, it was the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol that had entered his body just now that had caused him to change.


    And at this time, the most obvious change was none other than the archaic dragon symbol.


    That Immemorial Dragon Talisman was originally just a normal talisman.


    However, now that the Coiling Dragon had entered his body, countless patterns gradually appeared on the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    Appearing a pattern was an extremely slow process, but Lin Tian didn''t even blink as he read through the entire process.


    Finally, when the patterns completely appeared, Lin Tian discovered that the patterns were all actually ¡ª dragons!


    That''s right, it was a dragon.


    Swallowing the sun and moon, shining with boundless light, was the Divine Dragon of Sun and Moon!


    To control spacetime and transform into nothingness was to become a spacetime holy dragon!


    Life and death reincarnation, beginning with the Netherworld, the Netherworld Ghost Dragon!


    The source of chaos was the chaos spirit dragon!


    Power of Darkness ¨C World of Destruction ¨C Dragon of Darkness!


    The King of the Sky had two wings and was known as the Flying Rain-Dragon!


    It was a Wind Thunder Flood Dragon!


    The King of Earth had nine songs on his body. He was a coiling dragon of the earth!


    The Qi of trapped evil, spitting out poison, it was a plague dragon!


    Shockingly, these patterns were all of the Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons.


    But at this time, Lin Tian also knew the meaning behind the words that Horned Demon said.


    Once the coiling dragon entered the body, all sects would become one.


    At this moment, the coiling dragon pattern on the earth began to shine brightly.


    As for the other runes, they were still pitch black.


    Needless to say more, Lin Tian also knew that currently, only after the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol entered his body did it light up.


    However, there were actually nine patterns on top of this Immemorial Dragon Tally. Did this mean that he would need to collect all the Destiny Soul Symbols of the other eight Ancestral Dragons?


    Just when Lin Tian was puzzled, Horned Demon once again said: "Brat, you''ve finally reached this step. Congratulations, from today onwards, you''ll officially carry the mission of becoming a member of my Dragon clan!"


    As he spoke, Lin Tian suddenly felt an extremely terrifying aura rush from his Divine Palace into his body.


    At the same time, the drop of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood in Lin Tian''s whirlpool''s dantian started spinning once again.


    Not long after, he separated another sliver of blood essence and it fell into Lin Tian''s body.


    This time, the blood essence extracted from the ancestral dragon''s blood essence was almost several times more than before.


    Lin Tian had stimulated the ancestral dragon''s blood into his body a total of seven or eight times, but every time, the amount of ancestral dragon blood extracted was a tiny bit, but just this bit was enough to allow Lin Tian to gain endless benefits.


    In addition to this time''s blood essence, Lin Tian had absorbed a tenth of that drop of blood essence!


    Lin Tian''s body violently trembled and that strand of blood essence instantly turned into a small blood-red dragon in Lin Tian''s body. That small dragon swam through Lin Tian''s meridians and finally returned to Lin Tian''s whirlpool Dantian.


    At the same time, the golden core in his dantian exploded in an instant.


    As the golden core shattered, the blood dragon of Lin Tianjin''s core devoured the drop of blood essence. After devouring the drop of blood essence, the dragon suddenly grew much larger.


    In the next moment, huge rays of starlight suddenly came from the sky and in an instant, illuminated Lin Tian.


    The power of the stars! It was the power of the stars.


    After the Aurous Core, was the Astral Realm.


    The Astral River Realm connected with the stars in the sky, using the Astral Qi to temper the cultivator''s body.


    The aura in Lin Tian''s body was vast and mighty. In the blink of an eye, it became a river of stars that flowed through Lin Tian''s body.


    The broken Jindan was currently like a star, speckling Lin Tian''s galaxy.


    That strand of blood essence was only fused with Lin Tian''s power and wasn''t completely absorbed by Lin Tian.


    But even so, Lin Tian had already relied on that sliver of blood essence to advance from the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage to the first level of the Milky Way Realm!


    From this, one could see how terrifying the ancestral dragon''s blood essence was.

 C342 Andersen?

    However, the change is not over.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt his entire body itch. Not long later, he felt something growing on his body.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian finally discovered that his body was growing something.


    Dragon scales!


    That''s right, it was the dragon scales. The densely packed dragon scales were currently all over Lin Tian''s body. They looked extremely terrifying.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly felt an itch in his throat. He couldn''t help but raise his head and roar out.


    However, this was also a ''moo''!


    "What the f * ck?" Lin Tian was greatly shocked in his heart. Then, he looked at his hands and feet, and what happened next made him even more shocked.


    His limbs had actually turned into four claws.


    "Hornless, I ¡­" Lin Tian Deng shouted at the Horned Demon.


    "Don''t worry, you''ve absorbed a tenth of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence. This is a normal reaction ¡­" Hornless said indifferently.


    "Holy shit, dragon!" At this moment, that Celestial Mouse couldn''t help but curse.


    The Celestial Mouse was incomparably shocked. Lin Tian, Lin Tian had actually suddenly become a dragon ¡­.


    A dragon, what kind of existence was that?


    Not only that, even though he had signed a contract with Lin Tian, the Celestial Mouse still felt a pressure from his bloodline soul.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, was at a loss on what to do. Suddenly becoming a dragon, he didn''t know what to do ¡­ ¡­


    At this time, his whirlpool dantian also began to rapidly revolve. Not long later, with the help of the whirlpool dantian, Lin Tian felt the dragon scales around his body begin to rapidly disappear.


    Not long after, his limbs had also returned to his flesh and blood body.


    "So close ¡­" Lin Tian couldn''t help but be somewhat speechless. This transformation was simply too exaggerated, and it was also too big.


    He had actually turned into a dragon just now ¡­


    However, at this moment, he could feel the change in his body.


    "The Milky Way Realm ¡­" Lin Tian couldn''t help but sigh with emotion.


    He didn''t expect to break through just like that.


    He had no idea what had just happened. He had only heard Horned Demon say a few words, and then he felt incomparably uncomfortable all over until he finally became a dragon.


    But now, he knew what had happened.


    That terrifying drop of dragon blood had caused him to experience such a change.


    Slightly sensing his own strength, Lin Tian Deng decided that he would find a place to cultivate.


    Lin Tian hadn''t completely absorbed that bit of Dragon Blood. The rest of the Dragon Blood was still in his body.


    Right now, he had to find a suitable place to go into closed door cultivation as soon as possible.


    At this moment, Lin Tian and the Celestial Mouse were still being pulled back by the vines from the grass and were floating above the abyss to prevent them from falling down.


    As for the cliff just now, it had completely collapsed and revealed the scenery behind the cliff.


    Behind that massive cliff was actually a vast expanse of water.


    However, the water was lifeless and devoid of any life. It looked extremely frightening.


    Lin Tian communicated with the small grass, wanting it to directly send them back to the stone platform.


    The cliff on the other side of the lake had just collapsed, but the cliff they''d arrived on earlier hadn''t been damaged in the slightest.


    The small grass abruptly grew another huge vine. The vine wrapped itself around the cliff and immediately sent them back to the stone platform.


    But just as he arrived on the stone platform, Lin Tian once again felt his own Divine Palace tremble.


    "The art of Coiling Dragon, lies in the body. The nine times coiling dragon, the body is invincible, unparalleled in the world, the body becomes a saint, life lasts for tens of thousands of years, the body becomes a god, undying ¡­" The power of an old mind immediately came out from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but Horned Demon said: "Boy, be careful, this is a thread of thought sealed within that Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol by the Great Saint Duo Bao!"


    Lin Tian''s heart immediately went cold. This old thing, Duo Bao, actually didn''t give up his evil intentions. Did he still want to possess a body?


    But at this moment, that old voice sounded again, "Junior, how about you come in for a chat?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian hesitated, after all, this Duo Bao was an existence of the Saint realm. If he really had the skill to survive, at that time, would he still be able to block it?


    "It doesn''t matter. Right now, the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol has already returned to the Ancient Dragon Symbol. With the Ancient Dragon Symbol, he won''t be able to raise any big waves!" At this moment, Hornless said with relief, "Listen to what Duo Bao has to say ¡­"


    Lin Tian no longer hesitated and with a slight thought, he came to his own Divine Palace.


    Currently, the Ancient Dragon Symbol was emitting a faint light. Lin Tian only felt a powerful force suddenly come forth. His consciousness began to spin before he arrived at another space.


    The entire space was empty except for an old soul body floating in the air.


    "This is the space within the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol ¡­" That old soul body turned around and faced Lin Tian.


    "Are you a saint with many treasures?" Lin Tian hesitantly asked. Through his soul body, one could see the appearance of that saint with many treasures.


    The old soul form in front of him was not much different from the appearance of the handsome man from earlier.


    "Many Treasures Saint?" The old soul laughed out loud. Only then did he say: "The name is only a code name. If you are willing to call me that, there is no harm ¡­"


    "You''re looking for me ¡­" Lin Tian deliberated and opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, the spirit directly interrupted Lin Tian''s words: "Junior, there is a question that has puzzled me for a long time. I want to ask you, if you can give me an answer, I will give you a large fortune. What do you think?"


    "What problem?" Lin Tian''s interest was piqued. This many treasures saint still had a reason to be confused?


    He was a Saint realm expert, almost at the peak of the Sky Dragon Continent, how could he still be confused?


    "Is there anyone who can live forever in this world?" The old soul was silent for a long time, and then he asked his own question, but this was not the end. He asked the next question in a hurry, "What is the purpose of a person living? To pursue longevity? In this world, what method is there to live forever? "


    After asking this question, the aged spirit body stared at Lin Tian with burning eyes, as if it was waiting for Lin Tian''s answer.


    "So this is the problem ¡­" Lin Tian immediately nodded his head. When that Duo Bao''s corpse appeared, it had finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.


    "To everyone, the answer to this question is different." Lin Tian replied without hesitation: "But, I can tell you my answer ¡­ ¡­"


    "I''d like to hear more about it." A blazing light suddenly erupted from the eyes of the old soul body.

 C343 Dobaos obsession

    "My answer is very simple ¡­" Lin Tian suddenly laughed in a low voice.


    "Does who can live forever have anything to do with me?" Lin Tian opened his mouth and said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "Hmm?" Duo Bao''s soul froze slightly before frowning, "Continue speaking..."


    "It''s very simple, I don''t care who can live forever. Even if many people can live forever, it has nothing to do with me ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently said, "Not to mention if there is a person with immortality, even if there is, so what? So what if there is immortality, will immortality make one happy?"


    "Even if a person lives for a trillion years, his heart will never be happy. What''s the difference between that and death? It''s just that they are living, and their hearts are dead! " Lin Tian answered resolutely.


    He had always yearned for favors and grudges, so Lin Tian was a vindictive person. If anyone offended him, he would return it tenfold! He did not have any concept of longevity. The reason he lived was not for longevity. He carried on too much, and had always strived for his goal. He had never thought of anything else.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian said: "When I say it like this, I can directly answer your second question. The reason I''m alive is to become strong. Other than that, I have no other reason."


    "Become stronger?" Sage Duo Bao laughed involuntarily. "Junior, I would like to know just how strong you are in your heart. How strong can you be?"


    "How strong can it be considered strong?" Lin Tian Deng laughed: "Of course, only the supreme is considered strong, my will is heaven''s will, my anger is heaven''s might, my rules, are the rules of all things in the world!"


    "Of course, if there comes a day when I can become strong to the supreme realm, I would like to see how the scenery above the clouds and beyond the heavens is different from the scenery below this earth!" Saying this, Lin Tian proudly said.


    "Interesting." The eyes of the old soul moved slightly and a smile formed on his lips: "This is the first time I''ve heard such an answer. Younger generation, even though you are young, your ambition is not low ¡­"


    "The third question, I can answer you now. Whether or not there is a method to become immortal in this world has nothing to do with me. I have never pursued any kind of fake method to become immortal!" Lin Tian continued to answer.


    "Your answer is full of spirit, more like me when I was young. However, your thoughts are still too naive!" The Saint Daubrecq shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.


    Senior, have you ever had a lover?" Lin Tian suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you have family, a teacher, friends, brothers?


    Duo Bao was a bit stunned. He then nodded and said, "Yes."


    "Me too!" I have relatives, but my parents, ever since I was born, they have been missing for a long time, no one knows where they went. I want to find them, and this is the motivation for my struggle, I have my master, his kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, this is comparable to being reborn, but my master has gone alone to the danger zone, and even up till today, I do not know if he has the courage to resist you, or if I have friends, or if he is in danger today, I will not dare to underestimate him ¡­. "


    "The reason why I''m saying so much is just to clarify one point. They are the reason why I''ve become stronger. The reason why I''ve become stronger is to ¡ª protect!"


    Lin Tian softly said, then he said: "They were also the reason why I survived. If it wasn''t for the unyielding intent in my heart, I''m afraid that I would have already died and wouldn''t be standing here today ¡­"


    "Actually, the so-called longevity is just your obsession ¡­" Lin Tian''s words woke the person from his dream.


    "Have you noticed that on your journey to longevity, you''ve given up many things, such as the things I just said?" Lin Tian stared at that many treasures.


    The light in Duo Bao''s eyes dimmed.


    However, Lin Tian continued to say: "If a person is alive, it is only for obsession and is only a walking corpse. I would rather not have that kind of longevity ¡­"


    Lin Tian spoke until the last moment and that aged spirit body seemed to be moved. It suddenly raised its head and stared at Lin Tian. Then, it suddenly said with a trembling voice: "Was it wrong?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian slightly froze.


    However, the Great Sage then asked again, "Am I wrong?"


    Lin Tian didn''t even have the time to reply when the Sage with the many treasures wildly laughed and said: "Is this my obsession? Have I done anything wrong? For the sake of pursuing longevity, have I done anything wrong!"


    Lin Tian didn''t say much. He had said everything he needed to say.


    However, in the blink of an eye, the many treasured saint became extremely berserk. He crazily roared at Lin Tian: "Am I wrong? Am I wrong?"


    Lin Tian coldly watched from the side, but he did not reply. After a while, the hysterical Sage Duo Bao suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Many thanks, little friend ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he smiled and said: "Congratulations, you''ve finally gotten rid of your obsession ¡­"


    At this time, the aura on the body of the many treasures Saint suddenly changed. Originally it was an old soul body, but now it had actually recovered its youth and returned to the appearance that Lin Tian had previously seen.


    Actually, when Lin Tian saw this old soul body, he felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    The man who appeared earlier, the handsome Wind God Jade, was without a doubt the corpse of the Sage Duo Bao. However, the soul of Duo Bao, in such a state, first aroused Lin Tian''s suspicion.


    This spirit body was not the spirit body of the Sage. The Sage had lived for thousands of years, and his corpse had turned to ashes, so his soul was naturally destroyed as well. Thus, the true Sage had long since turned into ashes, and the spirit body in front of him was just a vile creature formed from the insistence of the Sage.


    So Lin Tian did not say a single word, all for the purpose of awakening the consciousness of the true many treasured saint. The power of evil was no different to the devil in his heart, who knew what other methods and thoughts he had ¡­


    "Little friend, thank you. After eliminating this obsession of mine, I can finally free myself from my worries ¡­" "The reason why I''m called ''Sage Duo Treasures'' is because I have always loved to search for treasures. The reason why I worked so hard in searching for the treasure is because I wanted to live forever, otherwise I wouldn''t have risked my life to search for the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol. I thought that the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol would be my last chance to live, but I didn''t expect it to be the start of a disaster ¡­"


    Sage Duo Bao continued, but at this moment, the legs of his soul body began to slowly dissipate, "I should have died long ago, I only have this bit of determination left. However, I am still unwilling. Thank you for saying these words, little friend, for waking me up ¡­"


    At this moment, only the upper half of the body of the saint was left.


    This Coiling Dragon spirit rune has finally found a real successor. However, there is also a great fortune within this Coiling Dragon spirit rune. I don''t have anything to give you. Just treat the secret of this Coiling Dragon spirit rune as a thank-you gift from me ¡­" "The Great Saint suddenly sent out a stream of spiritual will into Lin Tian''s mind.


    After finishing all this, the only thing that remained of the Saint Duo Bao was his head.


    Finally, Duo Bao''s head began to slowly disappear. Before it disappeared, the corner of his mouth was fixed into a faint smile ¡­

 C344 Coiling dragon!

    "Hu!" After resolving all of this, Lin Tian Deng felt refreshed.


    At the same time, with another thought, Lin TianAo exited the space of the Coiling Dragon talisman.


    With his spiritual will in place, Lin Tian finally opened his eyes.


    At the same time, he had also sensed the so-called great fortune that Saint Duo Bao had mentioned a moment ago.


    This was the martial art that he had obtained from the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    The coiling dragon of the earth was the king of the earth. Its body was unparalleled in nine songs.


    This was also the reason why that many treasured Saint''s soul lamented. If he were to cultivate this Coiling Dragon body tempering technique, his body would be unparalleled, and he might even become a Saint in the flesh, or even a Deity in the flesh.


    Back then, Saint Duo Bao did everything he could to obtain the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol for the sake of the Coiling Dragon Body Technique.


    But in the end, before he could succeed, he was chased and killed by countless experts, resulting in his death.


    However, back then, Saint Duo Bao had wanted to put death on the line and try again by relying on the Coiling Dragon Body Technique. Unfortunately, this attempt of his ended in failure.


    As a result, his death dissipated, leaving only this obsession in the Coiling Dragon Space that would last for a long time.


    The spiritual will that the many treasures ultimately passed on to Lin Tian hid the reason for his failure. Of course, there was also the complete Coiling Dragon Body Technique.


    The reason why it was called good fortune was because Duo Bao had also given Lin Tian his own understanding of cultivation. Even the reason for his failure was summed up and passed on to him.


    This was indeed a great opportunity.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly began comprehending the Coiling Dragon Body Technique.


    That body tempering technique was called the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body!


    The Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body was divided into nine levels. Cultivating to the ninth level meant that one could reach the legendary realm of becoming a Deity in the body.


    Once the body became a god, it would never stop until it was dead. It would live with the sun and moon for a long time. It could be said that it would live forever!


    However, it was extremely difficult for one''s body to become a god. In the end, the many treasures Saint had fallen to the Coiling Dragon Body Technique.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much and directly sat down cross-legged. He began to digest the Coiling Dragon Body Technique''s method of body refining.


    This Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body was also known as the Nine Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    The body was divided into nine stages. The first stage was Power Refinement, the second was Blood Refinement, the third was Marrow Refinement, the fourth was Bone Refining, the fifth was Invigorated Meridian, and the sixth was Stainless.


    These nine body refining techniques respectively corresponded to the nine great extremes of cultivation in the Martial Dao.


    Upon reaching the ninth level and reaching the level of the Coiling Dragon Golden Body, one''s body would become a Deity.


    Lin Tian was currently in the Star River Realm and was originally at the fourth level of the Bone Refining stage. However, where did Lin Tian cultivate the Coiling Dragon Body Technique from before? Now he had to start from the beginning.


    Lin Tian didn''t have any hesitation and directly sat down cross-legged to cultivate.


    "The power of the Coiling Dragon, take the power of the earth, use the power of the earth to temper the muscles, bones, blood vessels, bone marrow, and become an impregnable and indestructible body, turning into a Coiling Dragon Golden Body." In the introduction, the essence of the Coiling Dragon Body Technique was stated.


    The essence lies in borrowing the power of the earth.


    Coiling dragon was the king of the earth, and the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique absorbed the power of the earth. The power of earth was the source of the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique, and if the source was endless, the physical strength would not be exhausted.


    This was also the terrifying aspect of the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    "Kid, you still have a large amount of dragon blood energy in your body. You should be able to use that power to master the Coiling Dragon Body Technique." At this moment, Horned Demon also said.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. The Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique was extremely terrifying. If he wanted to successfully refine it, he would need a large amount of spiritual energy and a long period of bitter training.


    If he were to start from the beginning, the difficulty was obvious.


    Luckily, the blood essence was still stored in his body, so he didn''t have to worry about that anymore.


    Originally, Lin Tian did not intend to continue to break through to the next stage with the power of the dragon''s blood. After all, it was already fast enough to break through from the eighth level of the Aurous Core Stage to the first level of the Star River Realm in a single go.


    If he continued to break through, it was very likely that his foundation would be unstable. This was not what Lin Tian wanted.


    Lin Tian''s cultivation breakthroughs had always been steady and steady. Originally, he didn''t know how to use this bit of blood essence, but now that Horned Demon said it, Lin Tian did find a way.


    The strength of his body was already incomparably strong. This was because the body of a dragon was itself number one in the world.


    Now that he had cultivated the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique again, it was even more terrifying. Lin Tian was quite looking forward to how strong his physical body would be once he mastered the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    "First level of Refinement!" Lin Tian did not stop and began cultivating the Coiling Dragon Body Technique.


    The Celestial Mouse was currently staring fixedly at Lin Tian. It didn''t know what had happened in the slightest, only that everything that had just happened was simply too shocking.


    Lin Tian''s transformation from a human to a dragon greatly broadened the mouse''s horizons.


    Especially since this was personally seen by the Celestial Mouse.


    Currently, Lin Tian seemed to be cultivating an extremely powerful cultivation technique. From the stone platform and the cliff, there were traces of earthen yellow energy that were pulled out from the ground and poured into Lin Tian''s body.


    Not long after, Lin Tian''s entire body was covered by a thick layer of earthen yellow energy.


    After an unknown amount of time, the earthen yellow energy suddenly exploded out and Lin Tian''s body was revealed once again.


    But Lin Tian''s eyes slightly flickered and then they landed on a stone platform.


    Not far from the stone platform they were on, there was a huge stone platform. On that stone platform, there was a huge waterfall.


    At this moment, the waterfall was flowing rapidly, and the sound of falling water was loud and loud.


    Lin Tian''s body slightly moved and he actually leapt into the air. His body glided for several zhang and directly arrived on top of the stone platform.


    In the next moment, all of the clothes on his upper body were ripped apart, revealing strands of muscles. The strange thing was, at this moment, it seemed that in Lin Tian''s blood vessels, there were streams of yellow energy flowing through them.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly dove into the waterfall.


    "Dong, dong, dong." The waterfall fell down, and all of it fell onto Lin Tian''s body. The huge water flower smashed onto Lin Tian''s body, emitting a loud rumbling sound.


    Lin Tian''s entire body had a majestic blood aura around it, making him look extremely terrifying.


    He wanted to borrow the power of the waterfall to train his body.


    After reaching this stage, Lin Tian felt that his entire body seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of strength. Right now he wanted to release it, otherwise, he would not be able to hold it in any longer and he would not be able to continue cultivating ¡­

 C345 Changes in the territory

    The huge force of the waterfall heavily smashed onto Lin Tian''s body, causing his entire body to be in pain.


    But the more in pain, the more he felt that his entire body was incomparably refreshed. Such a painful and refreshing dual feeling made Lin Tian almost not know whether to laugh or cry.


    But after enduring for a long time, he felt that the energy that was originally about to spill out from his body had completely dissipated.


    He once again returned to the stone platform.


    Arriving at the stone platform, Lin Tian continued to sit cross-legged and unexpectedly once again entered a state of cultivation.


    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian actually stood up again and charged towards the stone platform under the waterfall. He actually still needed to borrow the force of the waterfall to consume his excess strength.


    Only when Lin Tian''s body was riddled with wounds did Lin Tian return.


    After what seemed like an eternity, Lin Tian finally stopped cultivating.


    At this time, the Celestial Mouse had already been stunned. He was astonished in his heart: "Is this Lin Tian a madman?"


    It was completely unable to understand Lin Tian''s masochistic cultivation ¡­.


    But Lin Tian had once again entered into a state of cultivation.


    The Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body was truly terrifying. Just now, Lin Tian had already forcefully used up all of the remaining blood essence in his body. Moreover, he had also successfully reached the fourth stage of the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    Bone Refining.


    The fourth level of Refinement, just happened to correspond to his cultivation at the first level of the Star River Realm.


    At this moment, Lin Tian felt every bone marrow, drop of blood, and even his strength, as well as his internal organs throughout his body seemed to have been reborn.


    This Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique trained one''s self in everything.


    At this moment, he could clearly feel that the strength of his fleshly body was at least ten times stronger than before.


    Now, he was absolutely confident that when facing Su Tian, he could use the power of his fleshly body and knock Su Tian down in an instant ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian began to comprehend the cultivation of the Milky Way Realm without stopping.


    His cultivation, martial dao realm, fleshly body, and even the strength of his soul had greatly increased once he broke through.


    So, he still needed to consolidate. Moreover, when he broke through just now, Lin Tian did not do it by himself.


    However, after he had obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, he had triggered the ancestral dragon''s blood essence within his body, luring it to take another trace and fuse it into his body, allowing him to break through.


    He had not comprehended the changes in the Star River Realm.


    Right now, he wanted to consolidate his cultivation realm and at the same time, consolidate his Mental Energy once again.


    Reaching the Star River Realm, one could draw upon the power of the stars in the sky, and use the power of the stars to cultivate. By using his own power, he could open up a river of stars in his body.


    Just as Lin Tian was almost immersed in cultivation, huge changes had already occurred in other parts of the Tian Luo secret realm.


    There was a time limit for them to enter the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    There were only ten days in total. Moreover, they had all been transported to different places. Thus, after entering, everyone had to first determine their location, and then they quickly rushed to the Heavenly Luo Mystic Realm, the place known as the Duo-Bao Qiu.


    Everyone knew that place was the burial ground of the Sage. Of course, it was also the place with the most treasures.


    The reason why they, the students, had entered the Tian Luo Secret Realm was for the treasures.


    Earlier, there were many students who entered the Tian Luo Mystic Realm and obtained an extremely powerful treasure or treasures. In just a few short years, their cultivation soared and they became the pillars of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Therefore, many students tried their best to push their way into the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally had to seize it.


    Gu Yan''er and Ji Fangge were no exception as well. The place they were teleported to was not too far away from the Duo Treasure Hill. Furthermore, there was another function to the identity jade slip from before.


    That was, he could faintly feel the aura of the nearby students. If he was near them, he would be able to completely determine who they were.


    Of course, this was also the reason for the establishment of the team captain. The team leader could use these to gather the students of the academy.


    After all, there were the students from the Five Great Academies here. If the students from the other academies were to gather together, it would not be bad if they didn''t get destroyed.


    After all, having more people meant having more strength. Among the Five Great Academies, there was bound to be a fierce battle going on.


    Ji Fangge and Gu Yan''er were already walking together, and the two of them weren''t far from where they were teleported to.


    The next day, Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er went to look for the organization. Yan Wu Hen had already gathered all the students, leaving only Lin Tian, Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er.


    Right now, Ji Fangge and Gu Yan''er had returned to the team, leaving Lin Tian by himself.


    Yan Wuhen even asked the other students, and the others also said that they did not see Lin Tian.


    Before this, Ji Fangge and Gu Yan''er had also searched for a long time, but had not been able to find Lin Tian.


    If within one day, they still did not find Lin Tian, they could basically conclude that something had happened to Lin Tian. Maybe they met with students from other academies who injured him and treated him as a captive, this was permitted, if any of the students from the other academies were able to capture Lin Tian as their captive, then at that time, they could even use a treasure to exchange for Lin Tian. This was completely allowed by the rules.


    This was also the reason why the academies were so closely allied with each other.


    Of course, there was another possibility. That was that Lin Tian was sent to an extremely remote area. That way, Lin Tian would basically not be able to come back.


    Whether or not he could even make it out of that remote area was something he did not know.


    This situation had happened quite a few times before. Some of the students were sent to some places far away, and there were even some places that were beyond the reach of nature. They wasted the opportunity to enter the Tian Luo Mystic Realm and were transported out of this place after staying in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm for ten days without being able to find anything.


    However, no matter what, Yan Wuhen and the others would only look for one day because the students were too far away and would be in danger. At the same time, if those two possibilities really happened, then there was no need to look for them ¡­


    The result was obvious. Not a single one of them found Lin Tian.


    Yan Wuhen did not waste his breath, and on the fourth day, he set out on his journey to Duo Bao mountain ¡­

 C346 Zygopodobao

    Fifth day, sixth day, seventh day.


    While they were searching for Lin Tian, they headed towards the Duo Bao mountain.


    It was a pity that they could not find any trace of Lin Tian. Instead, they met people from the Sword Inquisition.


    When Su Xiao of the Sword Inquisition saw that the Azure Province Academy was actually missing a person, and it was even missing Lin Tian. He immediately became tempted and wanted to engage in a free-for-all, but before long, he attracted the people of the Misty Academy.


    Thus, when the three of them stood at attention, Su Xiaodan immediately gave up on this idea. If he were to make a move now, it would not be worth it no matter what. After all, the real battle was at the Duo Baoshan.


    Furthermore, they were getting closer and closer to Duo Baoqiu. It was very possible that they would meet other students from other academies ¡­


    Therefore, all the students restrained themselves even if they met face to face.


    However, Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er''s hearts were completely sunk.


    After seven consecutive days, there was still no sign of Lin Tian. In addition, he also met other school students, but did not discover Lin Tian. In other words, Lin Tian was not seen as a captive, but rather had a high chance of being transported to a distant place ¡­ ¡­


    This was troublesome. Without a helper like Lin Tian, Ji Fangge was the strongest in Qingzhou Academy. Although Yan Wuhen was ranked first on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, his strength was not even on par with Ji Fangge.


    Ji Fangge was fine with the others, but facing Mo Xiaofei, he did not have much confidence ¡­


    Moreover, Lin Tian had previously said that they should be wary of this Yan Wuhen.


    Although Lin Tian did not explain the reason and in the past few days, Yan Wuhen did not show any abnormalities, Ji Fangge still believed in Lin Tian''s judgement.


    With the current situation, who knows what would happen if he were to come to that Duo Baoshan ¡­


    On the eighth day, as the students of the various academies were gathered together, everyone was quite restrained as they practically walked towards the mountain of treasures in unison.


    Duo Baoshan was a desert. However, there was a gigantic palace on top of the desert.


    That place was the burial ground of a saint. But of course, it was filled with countless treasures as well.


    When they saw the tomb, everyone threw everything else to the back of their minds and crazily rushed towards the palace.


    Everyone knew that the palace was filled with endless treasures.


    Thus, right now, what they needed to do was to search for treasures.


    In an instant, the students of the five great academies all madly charged towards the Great Treasure Temple.


    At the same time, Lin Tian who was still cultivating on the cliff finally opened his eyes.


    "I''ve finally stabilized my cultivation base at the first level of the Star River Realm ¡­" Lin Tian nodded his head in satisfaction. The Stellar River in his body had completely formed. The originally broken Gold Core had now turned into countless stars that hung in the Stellar River within his body.


    In the galaxy within his body, there was a small blood-red dragon quietly sitting there. The small blood-red dragon seemed to be sleeping, but even Lin Tian did not discover this small blood-red dragon.


    The strength of his fleshly body had also been thoroughly consolidated.


    Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body. Lin Tian had already reached the fourth level of Bone Refining. The strength of his body at this level was simply unimaginable.


    At this moment, he could clearly feel that the bone marrow in his body was constantly absorbing the power of the earth to nourish his body. The surging blood energy in his body was like the rivers and lakes flowing unceasingly, filling him with energy.


    The most critical change was still the change in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    At this moment, his soul had also grown a bit. At the same time, the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol had entered his body, causing his Spiritual Force to soar.


    Right now, he had already entered the realm of a Rank Two Soul Symbol Master.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly returned to the Corpse Mountain with the Celestial Mouse.


    The Nightmare Qi here was massive, but over the course of eight days, more than half of it had been absorbed by the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse.


    At this time, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had already undergone a tremendous change. At this time, it was as if it was alive, its skin was warm and shiny, the facial features were not as stiff as before, if not for the fact that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s breath was gone and its eyes were closed, Lin Tian would have suspected that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse could awaken at any time ¡­


    Not only that, the aura of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had also become much stronger. Now that Lin Tian had enough spirit stones to use on the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, the attack of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was definitely comparable to a Life and Death Realm expert.


    With this trump card, Lin Tian felt a lot more at ease. In the Life and Death Realm, the top experts of Tian Luo could only do this much.


    With a thought from Lin TianAo, he controlled the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse to return to the stone monument''s space.


    After finishing all this, Lin Tian Deng immediately asked the Heavenly Mouse how to leave the Dark Moon Forest.


    The Celestial Mouse had previously said that it had a way to leave this place quickly, and also a way to go directly to the tomb of that many treasures.


    Of course, the Celestial Mouse had indeed brought Lin Tian to the place where the true many treasures were buried.


    However, he had already obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, moreover, he had obtained such a great harvest, Lin Tian was already quite satisfied. His trip to the Tian Luo Secret Realm was already complete, but there was still one thing that he had not resolved.


    It was that Yan Wuhen.


    Yan Wuhen was a student that had been corrupted by the Blood Demon Sect. Besides him, there were other students like him in the other academies. This made Lin Tian feel as if his heart had been pierced by a thorn.


    Moreover, it was also important to clarify their plans.


    As for Yan Wuhen and the rest, they were heading to the fake tombs that were located in the center of the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    Calculating the time, they should have already arrived. Lin Tian could ignore the others, but Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er could not.


    Of course, Lin Tian was thinking of a way to directly reach the Duo Treasure Hill. Otherwise, even with his speed, if he wanted to travel from the extreme west side of the Tian Luo Mystic Realm to the Duo Treasure Hill in the middle, it would take a lot of time.


    Skypiercing Mouse looked at the map Lin Tian had given him and fell into deep thought: "Kid, there are many methods to get out of the Dark Moon Forest. However, if we want to go to the Mountain Range of Treasures, there is nothing I can do ¡­"


    "Then, bring me out of the Dark Moon Forest first ¡­" Lin Tian replied without hesitation.


    "Don''t be so anxious. Actually, when I was exploring the tombstone, I accidentally found a teleportation formation. Do you want to take a look?" The Celestial Mouse muttered to himself, "But where is the teleportation formation going? I can''t guarantee ¡­"


    "Teleportation array?" Lin Tian Deng''s eyes lit up, and without hesitation he said: "Take me to see ¡­."

 C347 Lin tian

    The Celestial Mouse nodded and brought Lin Tian to another tunnel.


    There were dozens of different tunnels in the Celestial Mouse''s cave abode. One could imagine how much effort the Celestial Mouse had put into exploring the tomb.


    This tunnel wasn''t as long as the one before, and was only half as long. Lin Tian saw the teleportation formation mentioned by the Celestial Mouse.


    The location of the transportation formation was actually a cave as well.


    Not only that, there were also footprints in this cave dwelling. Those footprints were all covered in dust, indicating that it had been a very long time since someone last visited this place.


    "Could this be the footprint left by the Monarch of the Myriad Treasures?" Lin Tian carefully examined it for a moment and then said in astonishment.


    "This is also what the ancestor guessed when he came here previously. However, no one can be sure that this is the footprint of a treasure ¡­" The Celestial Mouse nodded and said, "When Ancestor dug up to here, he didn''t continue digging anymore, so he never used this teleportation circle. Where he could teleport to is also uncertain ¡­"


    "If this Duo Bao has a tomb, then this teleportation array will probably teleport to Duo Bao Qiu ¡­" Lin Tian pondered for a moment and then guessed.


    It was not hard to guess Duo Bao''s thoughts.


    Duo Bao had purposely set up a fake grave, which was located in the Great Treasure Temple of the Great Treasure Hill.


    This was where the true tombs of the many treasures were located.


    The fake tombstone tomb that Sage Duo Bao had laid down was just to hide it from the eyes and ears of others.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate anymore and stepped onto the transfer array.


    The Celestial Mouse''s body slightly trembled before transforming into a shadow that imprinted itself on Lin Tian''s right hand.


    On the Teleportation Formation, light was flashing. In the blink of an eye, the Teleportation Formation was suddenly activated. The world turned in his mind and the Teleportation Formation brought Lin Tian to another space.


    "Chu Feng, hand over that yellow blade in your hand!" In the next moment, such a cold voice suddenly sounded out next to Lin Tian''s ears. It sounded extremely familiar.


    "Mo Xiaolang?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth slightly curled up into a smile. At this moment, in the Hidden Weapon Hall of the Myriad Treasures Palace, a light flashed. In this hall, there was actually another person.


    "Lin Tian!" At this moment, both Chu Feng and Mo Xiaolang, who were fighting over the yellow blade, stopped what they were doing. Both of them were staring at the newcomer in astonishment.


    The two of them also did not think that they would actually see Lin Tian here.


    Mo Xiaolang looked sinisterly at Lin Tian before sneering: "I was worried that I wouldn''t be able to find you. I didn''t think that you would come knocking on my door. Little bastard, come and die!"


    Mo Xiaofei suddenly transformed into a huge fierce wolf, which was his ultimate skill, the Demon Transformation secret technique.


    That fierce wolf suddenly pounced towards Lin Tian, it was extremely terrifying, in the next moment it was going to swallow Lin Tian into its mouth.


    But Lin Tian stood where he was and didn''t move. It wasn''t until the giant wolf rushed in front of him that Lin Tian suddenly threw out a punch.


    One punch, without any modifications. Lin Tian did not use any martial arts at all, completely using his own strength to throw out a punch.


    "Bam!" With a bang, the giant wolf was sent flying.


    The next moment, the huge wolf suddenly turned back into its human form. Its body heavily smashed on the wall of the hall, and actually directly smashed it into the wall. At this moment, Mo Xiaofei was on the verge of death, unable to stand up again.


    "Hiss!" Chu Feng, who was standing to the side, had a face full of astonishment as he looked at Lin Tian. He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air; he could not believe that Mo Xiaolang, who was ranked first in the Hidden Dragon Rank in the Five Great Academies, had been destroyed by a single punch from Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly loosened his muscles and bones and lightly nodded his head. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his previous punch.


    Actually, Lin Tian did not expect to have such power. His physical body was strong, his strength was unparalleled, plus he himself had already broken through to the first level of the Milky Way Realm, his fist strength was obviously much stronger than before.


    Of course, there was another crucial point. The Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique that he was cultivating had completely displayed its full power.


    The power of the dragon race, physical body, was the number one in the world.


    In the dragon race, the physical body of a Coiling Dragon was the strongest.


    Lin Tian had obtained the Coiling Dragon''s inheritance of the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body''s essence. The terrifying strength of his physical body had already surpassed everyone''s imaginations.


    "He can''t even withstand a single blow!" Lin Tian coldly snorted. He paid no attention to the half-dead Mo Xiaolang as he turned to look at Chu Feng.


    This Chu Feng was ranked second on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Lin Tian remembered that when they were on the way from the Azure Continent Academy to Tian Luo City, this Chu Feng seemed to want to ask for his help.


    Furthermore, this Chu Feng was also one of the candidates to be the team leader. Now that he met him, he wanted to ask about the news of Yan Wuhen.


    "Lin Tian, Lin Tian, save me, save me ¡­" But at this time, before Lin Tian could even ask, Chu Feng directly knelt down towards Lin Tian and even kept on saying that he wanted Lin Tian to save him ¡­ ¡­.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian frowned and then asked: "Is it related to that Yan Wuhen?"


    A trace of astonishment flashed across Chu Feng''s face. He asked in astonishment, "You know about it already?"


    "I don''t know. Speak, what happened to Yan Wuhen?" Lin Tian interrupted Chu Feng and continued to ask.


    "This is all because of me being befuddled ¡­" Chu Feng''s expression was dark as he recounted what had happened to Lin Tian.


    It turned out that Yan Wuhen had already won over all the other students on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, excluding Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er and Ji Fangge.


    It was because Yan Wuhen had won first place in the Proclamation of Azure Sky with great glory, and also because his cultivation was not high before. In just half a year, he had actually undergone such a qualitative change, shocking everyone else.


    Thus, Yan Wuhen went to look for them and promised that he would help them quickly improve their strength in a short period of time, allowing them to vote for him and become the team captain.


    Later on, Yan Wuhen did what he said he would. After Yan Wuhen had been elected to the team, he had actually given them a pill.


    According to Yan Wuhen, this pellet was sufficient to allow a martial artist to break through to the first layer. As students of the Proclamation of Azure Sky, they were all at the eighth level of the Aurous Core stage, and even Chu Feng was at the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage.


    A single pill was sufficient to allow them to break through to the next level. From this, it was clear how fearsome this pill was.


    All six of them, including Chu Feng, had one pellet each. However, Chu Feng had just broken through to the ninth level of the Aurous Core stage. In order to ensure his stable cultivation, he was in no hurry to consume the pill.


    However, the other five had all consumed the pill, but after consuming it, their strength had increased by a whole level. They were also at the ninth level of the Aurous Core Stage, but another situation had occurred.


    Chu Feng was surprised to discover that these people seemed to have lost their souls ¡­

 C348 Blood venom pill

    Right, he had lost his soul!


    Up till now, Chu Feng could only use one word to describe the situation of the other five students after taking the pill ¡­


    He had a good relationship with one of the students. After the student took the pill, Chu Feng went out of his way to ask about the student''s feelings.


    However, just as Chu Feng arrived at the student''s cave, the student''s eyes were fixed on Chu Feng.


    Chu Feng shuddered at the thought of that look.


    It was as if that student wanted to swallow Chu Feng whole.


    Only when Chu Feng called out to the student several times did the student finally come back to his senses and recognize Chu Feng.


    However, that student was still glaring at Chu Feng, just like before.


    Chu Feng was frightened by the man''s stare. He said a few words, then took his leave.


    Before he left, the student stared at Chu Feng for a long time. In the end, he even let out an extremely cold and terrifying laugh.


    Chu Feng thought about it for a long time before deciding to pay a visit to the other students.


    Without exception, the strength of the other students had also increased significantly. However, the same strange thing had happened to them.


    Almost everyone seemed to have become a different person as their eyes glazed over as they immersed themselves in their own world.


    However, when Chu Feng called out to them, they would quickly regain their senses and focus their attention on him.


    After which, there was the same gaze as the previous student.


    It was as if they wanted to swallow Chu Feng whole. There were even some students who were licking their lips at Chu Feng.


    Chu Feng was panicking more and more. He decided to just close the door. However, he had been thinking about this all this while.


    The only thing these people had in common was that they had all taken the pill that Yan Wuhen had given them. In order to prove his suspicions, he had never taken that pill.


    Later on, when all the students were gathering to go to Tian Luo City, Chu Feng also met with Lin Tian and the other two.


    Naturally, Lin Tian and the other two were very normal. This also made Chu Feng completely convinced of his guess.


    Of course, on the way there, Yan Wuhen seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Chu Feng. He even asked him why he did not take the pill.


    Chu Feng casually said a few words, gradually sensing that something was amiss with Yan Wuhen. He immediately looked towards Lin Tian, wanting to seek help from him. However, it seemed that Yan Wuhen had sensed his presence along the way and calmly glanced at Chu Feng.


    Chu Feng immediately gave up on the idea of seeking help on his journey. Instead, he wanted to find an opportunity to seek help from Lin Tian in the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    However, even after searching for a long time, they were still unable to find any trace of Lin Tian. Chu Feng was on the verge of despair.


    But he never would have thought that in the Hidden Weapon Hall, he would meet Lin Tian.


    Chu Feng had come into the Hidden Weapon Hall first. He had chosen a spirit treasure ¡ª the Hidden Yellow Blade. He had not expected that the moment Chu Feng took the knife into his hand, Mo Xiaolang had entered.


    After that, Lin Tian found out.


    After Lin Tian heard what Chu Feng said, he frowned and could not help but ask, "That pill that Yan Wuhen gave you, is it still there?"


    "Here!" Chu Feng nodded immediately. Then, he took out a pill from his bosom and passed it to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian took the pill and carefully examined it for a moment. Only then did he discover that this pill contained an extremely powerful bloodline power. If this pill could increase the strength of the students by a level, it should be because of this blood essence.


    This was somewhat similar to the Great Blood Coagulation Technique that Lin Tian had obtained from the Bone Flute Young Master Song Qingyu.


    The Great Blood Coagulation Art was also the best method to purify the essence from a demonic beast''s bloodline, allowing it to be absorbed by a martial cultivator.


    The refining method of this pill was the same as the Blood Solidification Realm. It was naturally done by Blood Demon Sect.


    "This is the Blood Core of the Blood Demon Sect." Horned Demon nodded, confirming Lin Tian''s thoughts.


    "The refinement method is naturally forged by using the essence within the human blood. Of course, this is not only a blood pill. There is also a Gu worm that controls one''s mind ¡­" Hornless explained.


    "No wonder." Lin Tian nodded his head. Then, with a thought, he used the Great Blood Clotting Technique. An incomparably strong power rose from Lin Tian''s hand and crushed the pill.


    Under Lin Tian''s Great Coagulation Technique, the pill gradually dispersed and turned into a drop of incomparably pure blood essence.


    Chu Tian looked at Lin Tian''s actions with a face full of doubt, but in the next moment, the sudden change made Chu Feng''s hair stand on end.


    From the drop of essence blood, a fat and white little bug actually drilled out. The little bug shook its head and after feeling the aura on Lin Tian''s body, it immediately rushed towards Lin Tian.


    With a "sou" sound, the little bug suddenly drilled into Lin Tian''s body.


    But Lin Tian did not panic. He circulated the soul force around his body and forcibly forced the little bug out.


    "What ¡­ what is this?" Chu Feng asked in a trembling voice.


    "Gu worm." In the next moment, the small grass became obvious. It opened its mouth to swallow the drop of blood essence, and also swallowed the little bug.


    After doing all of this, Chu Feng was still in a daze. He looked at Lin Tian in disbelief, but his heart was in turmoil, "No wonder, no wonder those people looked like walking dead. So they were infected by the Gu ¡­"


    Thinking of this, Chu Feng could not help but ask, "That Yan Wuhen, what, who exactly is his identity?"


    "What identity?" Lin Tian laughed involuntarily: "Of course it''s Blood Demon Sect''s chess piece ¡­"


    Saying this, Lin Tian changed the topic and asked, "Have you heard of that Blood Demon Sect ¡­."


    "Blood Demon Sect!" Chu Feng''s face suddenly turned pale. However, he immediately knelt down towards Lin Tian once again, "Lin Tian, I beg you, please save me, please save me. I did not consume this blood pill, so Yan Wuhen will definitely not let me off ¡­"


    "I won''t let him go either." The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth hooked into a sneer. He then said: "Let''s go. Take me to the Palace. I want to see what exactly this group of bastards from the Blood Demon Sect want!"


    After hearing Lin Tian''s words, Chu Feng felt a bit more at ease. He hurriedly brought Lin Tian to another hall.


    Countless different sizes of palaces were situated within the Palace.


    Some were in the main hall of the Vault of Treasures, some were in the main hall of the Dao of alchemy, and some were in the main hall of the Vault of Armies.


    Today was the ninth day that they had entered the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    Of course, this was also the second day that these students came to the Palace.


    Because there were so many palaces present, all the students were spread out. After one day, Chu Feng had also figured out the location of many palaces.


    However, the number of students they met was extremely few.

 C349 Scent of blood

    Using the life-saving jade slip, Chu Feng was able to sense a student from the nearby Qingzhou Academy.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he directly brought Lin Tian in that direction.


    This was the Great Hall of the Myriad Treasures Temple''s cultivation technique. It contained the martial arts techniques that had been collected by the Great Sage for so many years.


    Lin Tian also had some expectations. Previously, in the Heavenly Mouse''s cave abode, Lin Tian had also plundered many treasures, but most of them were useless against Lin Tian, other than spirit jades.


    This martial arts cultivation technique was extremely lacking to Lin Tian. At the same time that he dealt with Yan Wuhen, to be able to find one or two cultivation techniques suitable for him in this cultivation technique hall could be considered a great harvest.


    "Zhang Qian!" When Chu Feng and Lin Tian arrived at the Cultivation Technique Hall, a student was looking for a martial art manual.


    Chu Feng clearly knew this student, so he called out to him directly.


    However, the student called Zhang Qian turned a deaf ear to it, as if he hadn''t heard it at all. He continued to immerse himself in searching for the martial arts technique.


    However, Chu Feng turned to Lin Tian, "This Zhang Qian is the student with whom I have a good personal relationship. He is ranked fourth on the Proclamation of Azure Sky."


    Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head. Looking at Zhang Qian who was still immersed in his search, he hesitated for a moment before lightly cutting open his finger. A drop of blood immediately dripped down.


    Thus, the entire palace exuded a faint and peculiar fragrance.


    It was also at this moment that Zhang Qian, who was originally engrossed in his search for martial arts techniques, suddenly stopped.


    The next moment, he suddenly turned around and saw Lin Tian and Chu Feng not too far away. His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty thirst as he stared at the two of them.


    "Zhang Qian, I''m Chu Feng..." Chu Feng suddenly shouted.


    After a while, he slightly twisted his slightly stiff body, as if he had regained his consciousness. He turned to Chu Feng and Lin Tian, "Chu Feng, Lin Tian, are you here to look for martial arts techniques as well?"


    Although he said that, his gaze did not leave Lin Tian.


    This was because he could already sense the source of the fragrance in the hall.


    It originated from this Lin Tian!


    "You, you''re injured?" Zhang Qian walked forward two steps and said while stubbornly staring at Lin Tian.


    "Yes, I did." Lin Tian slightly smiled, but he had a plan in his heart: "This tree has not lost all reason. It seems like the Gu worm can not completely make people lose all reason. Then the Gu worm''s function is very obvious. It should be to control the students ¡­ ¡­"


    "Continue, we have to start searching as well ¡­" Lin Tian faintly smiled and then directly walked towards Zhang Qian.


    As he passed by Zhang Qian, he could clearly feel that Zhang Qian was staring at him uncontrollably. He could even hear the sound of him swallowing his saliva.


    Lin Tian seemingly inadvertently walked to Zhang Qian''s side and squatted down. Currently, Lin Tian''s back was completely facing Zhang Qian. As long as Zhang Qian was willing, if he attacked from behind, he could instantly kill Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian did not notice. He lowered his head and began to concentrate on finding the martial arts technique.


    Chu Feng stared blankly at Lin Tian''s movements, but he did not know what Lin Tian was up to.


    He actually dared to squat beside Zhang Qian. Could it be that he isn''t afraid ¡­


    Whoosh. Whoosh. Chu Feng stood quite far away from the scene. At this moment, he could even hear the sound of rapid and ragged breathing.


    Lin Tian''s wound was still bleeding.


    He did not seem to plan on stopping the bleeding. He just allowed the blood to drip down one drop at a time, emitting an even stronger strange fragrance.


    The fragrance quickly spread out of the Cultivation Technique Hall and into the other halls of the Great Treasure Temple.


    Very quickly, the figures arrived at this place along with the fragrance.


    Before long, countless students had gathered around.


    All of these students, including those of the Qingzhou School whom Chu Feng knew, were gathered together with many of the students of other academies.


    These students originally had all sorts of colors, but now they all had one common characteristic, and that was that everyone was staring at Lin Tian unwaveringly.


    Clearly, these students had all been attracted by Lin Tian.


    These students all stared fixedly at Lin Tian, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty thirst.


    Lin Tian continued to continuously flip through the martial arts cultivation methods as if he didn''t notice the impending crisis.


    "Lin Tian!" Chu Feng could not help but shout with a trembling voice.


    Lin Tian turned a deaf ear, as if he did not hear anything.


    The other students, on the other hand, turned to look at Chu Feng.


    Chu Feng''s body was drenched in cold sweat. He was trembling uncontrollably because the way those students looked at him earlier was such that they wished they could tear him apart and swallow him whole.


    His mouth opened and closed again and again, but in the end, he swallowed back the words that were about to reach his mouth.


    When the other students saw that Chu Feng had stopped speaking, they did not look at him, but instead turned around and stared at Lin Tian again ¡­


    At the same time, in the Great Hall of the Pill Dao, Yan Wuhen also caught a whiff of that smell. However, he was not as crazy as the other students and was somewhat puzzled.


    After hesitating for a moment, Yan Wuhen decided to go and see what exactly had happened.


    But before he left the Alchemy Dao Palace hall, he gently bit his middle finger and silently chanted some kind of incantation ¡­


    Before long, silhouettes rushed over from the various halls.


    Not long after, the students of the Tiger Wolf Camp, the Sword Inquisition, and the Misty Academy arrived one after another.


    However, these students were slightly different from the others. A strange pattern appeared on their forehead.


    The moment they saw Yan Wuhen, the four students immediately kneeled down and said, "Greetings Lord Enforcer!"


    Yan Wuhen nodded slightly, "Everyone, please rise. Have you all smelled anything strange?"


    "Reporting to Lord Enforcer, I smelled ¡­" The four replied in unison.


    "What is that smell?" Yan Wuhen''s gaze was deep as he asked.


    "We don''t know either, but the moment the four of us smelled that smell, we couldn''t help but be attracted by it. Moreover, smelling that smell, I almost couldn''t control the thirst in my heart ¡­" The Royal Academy''s student spoke softly, and couldn''t help but lick his lips.


    The other three nodded in agreement.


    "Haha, it''s alright. Soon, we can have a feast soon!" At this moment, Yan Wuhen chuckled softly. He no longer hesitated and directly brought the three of them to look for the fragrance that could stir their appetite ¡­

 C350 Eerie change

    At the same time, Mo Xiaolang suddenly let out a low moan.


    However, he immediately stood up with a vicious look in his eyes, "I didn''t expect this little bastard to be this powerful. However, since you dared to hurt me, Mo Xiaolang, then I will kill you no matter what!"


    Mo Xiaofei''s eyes were full of hatred, but he also smelled the strange fragrance. He frowned as he walked out of the Hidden Weapon Hall and saw a group of people standing in front of the Martial Arts Hall. No one knew what they were doing.


    But all of a sudden, Mo Xiaolang saw a fellow student from the Wolf Tiger Camp. He could not help but shout, "Wang Ye, what are you standing there for?"


    At this moment, the student called Wang Ye''s body stiffened. The next moment, he struggled to twist his neck. He turned around and saw Mo Xiaofei.


    In that instant, a complicated expression suddenly flashed across Wang Ye''s eyes. However, in the next moment, his eyes regained their clarity. He immediately pointed at Lin Tian Yun who was in the Cultivation Hall. "He, he ¡­"


    Mo Xiaolang immediately felt something was wrong because he saw a bloodthirsty thirst in Wang Ye''s eyes...


    With a gloomy face, Mo Xiaolang walked towards Wang Ye.


    However, at this moment, the other students turned around and looked at Mo Xiaofei.


    "Hiss!" Even though Mo Xiaolang was used to all kinds of big scenes and had seen too many eyes, but at this moment, when he saw the eyes of these students, he still felt a chill down his spine.


    He immediately stood on the spot and didn''t take another step forward ¡­


    At this moment, Ji Cangge and Gu Yan''er had also stopped searching the hall for treasures.


    Ever since they had arrived at the Tian Luo secret realm, Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er had been tied together.


    Without Lin Tian, the two of them felt like they had no backbone and were not used to it.


    Therefore, they decided to act together. They can''t trust that Yan Wuhen ¡­


    At this moment, they also caught a whiff of that strange fragrance. The two of them did not hesitate and directly flew out of the Treasure Hall, following the scent all the way to the Cultivation Technique Hall.


    When they arrived at the Cultivation Technique Hall, they immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    Why was the atmosphere here so strange?


    Especially when Ji Fangge saw a few of the students from the Azure Province Academy mixed in with the students from the other four academies, quietly staring at a person in the Cultivation Technique Hall.


    Even Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er''s arrival did not affect them in the slightest.


    "Chu Feng?" Ji Fangge suddenly saw the figure at the corner and tried to test the waters.


    Chu Feng turned his head around abruptly. When he saw Ji Fangge and Gu Yaner, it was as if they had seen their savior. He quickly flew out of the hall and into the distance.


    The other students were all immersed in the scent of Lin Tian''s blood, seemingly unaware of Chu Feng''s unusual behavior.


    "What''s going on?" Ji Fangge could not help but ask.


    "Lin Tian ¡­" Chu Feng swallowed his saliva and continued: "Lin Tian is inside!"


    "What!" Gu Yan''er immediately called out. Previously, she had searched for Lin Tian but had never found him. So Lin Tian had actually already come to the Palace?


    "That''s not it ¡­" Chu Feng shook his head, about to say something.


    A voice suddenly sounded from nearby. "Mad Wolf, what are you standing there for?"


    It was the voice of the number one expert of the Royal Academy, Luo Tiannan.


    At that time, Luo Tian also caught a whiff of this strange fragrance. Without any hesitation, he came to this place.


    However, when he arrived, he saw Mo Xiaolang standing still and did not move. He could not help but ask out of curiosity.


    "I was wondering why there isn''t anyone in all the halls. So you all have come all the way here. Lord Luo Tian, what kind of rewards have you gotten ¡­" In the next moment, another voice rang out.


    This was the number one expert of the Sword Inquisition, Su Xiao''s voice.


    "Yeah, the Great Treasure Temple is so big, why did they all come to this Cultivation Technique Hall ¡­" At this moment, another voice sounded. It was none other than the number one expert of the Misty Academy, Jiang Ruoxi.


    At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi couldn''t help but wrinkle her nose, then she lightly sniffed, "What''s that thing, it''s actually so fragrant?"


    "I smell it too, but why does this fragrance have the scent of blood?" Su Xiao also frowned.


    Luo Tian Jun looked at Mo Xiaolang, who stood still and didn''t answer his question. He felt even more confused.


    He walked forward to Mo Xiaofei, and lightly patted him.


    Only then did Mo Xiaolang come back to his senses. He saw that Luo Tian Jun, Su Xiao, and Jiang Ruoxi had all come to this place.


    Mo Xiaolang took a deep breath and said, "You guys, go take a look. Among the people standing in there, is there anyone from your academy..."


    "What the hell?" Jiang Ruoxi frowned slightly as she spoke, but she also took a few steps forward and saw the situation within the cultivation technique hall.


    "Jiang Feiyan, Wang Ziyan, what are you two standing there for?" Inside the Cultivation Method Hall, there were dozens of students standing around. Almost all of the Five Great Academies'' students were present.


    Of course, there were also seven or eight girls in there. In other words, other than her, all the other students of the Misty Academy were here.


    Naturally, she was extremely puzzled and couldn''t help but call out to the few ladies.


    They weren''t looking for a martial arts cultivation technique, nor did they make any other movements. They just stood there quietly, which of course made Jiang Ruoxi a little confused.


    As for the other students, after hearing Jiang Ruoxi''s voice, they also turned their heads with great difficulty and then saw Jiang Ruoxi.


    The moment she saw Jiang Ruoxi, Jiang Ruoxi was shocked. She had also seen a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life.


    When those students looked at her, their eyes were blood-red. Not only that, an extremely terrifying aura was also emitted from their bodies. Jiang Ruoxi had experienced countless battles, so she naturally couldn''t understand what that gaze and aura represented.


    It was a massacre, a bloodthirst!


    Jiang Ruoxi was also shocked.


    Luo Tiannan and Su Xiao could feel that something was wrong with Jiang Ruoxi. They immediately took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Jiang Ruoxi.


    They also saw an incredible scene.


    Most of the students in their respective academies were here as well. At the same time, when they called for those students, those students turned around to look at them.


    They felt their hearts tremble as well.


    That kind of gaze, they would never be able to forget ¡­


    "They''re all here, that saves the effort. I originally wanted to go out to gather everyone, but who would''ve thought that they would already be gathered ¡­" Just as everyone was feeling shocked and suspicious, not far away, a group of five people had also arrived. The leader of the group, Yan Wuhen, said to everyone with a slight smile on his face.

 C351 Invincible yan wuhen

    When the crowd heard Yan Wuhen''s voice, they were slightly startled, but they quickly regained their senses.


    In the next moment, everyone turned their attention to Yan Wuhen.


    Yan Wu Hen, only Ji Fang Ge, Chu Feng, and Gu Yan''er were more familiar with each other. Mo Xiao Lang and the others weren''t too familiar with Yan Wu Hen.


    However, the four people behind Yan Wuhen, they could not be more familiar with them.


    These four were students from their respective academies.


    "Mo Qi?" The student behind Yan Wuhen was called Mo Qi, but he was still Mo Xiaolang''s main family. According to seniority, he was still his cousin.


    However, why is this Mo Qi a little ¡­


    "Luo Yiming, get the hell over here!" Luo Tiannan was also furious. This Luo Yiming was a nephew of his own family, a member of the royal family.


    "Junior brother Li, what happened to you?" Su Xiao said in astonishment. This Li Xiaoshan was his own juniors. They were the disciples of the Sword Intent Lord of the Sword Inquisition.


    "Little Sister Xuan''er, why are you messing with the other academy students?" Jiang Ruoxi was also surprised as she spoke. This Xiao Xun Er was second only to Jiang Ruoxi in strength in the Misty Academy, and was deeply favored by Su Qiu Shui. At this moment, she was actually following the lead of Yan Wu Hen ¡­


    "Everyone, everyone." At this moment, Yan Wuhen suddenly spoke, "Everyone, please be patient. Let me explain to everyone here that the people behind me are all relatives and relatives. However, they are also the geniuses of our sect, and they are all one of the Holy Children ¡­"


    "What dogshit Glory Sect?" That Lord Luo Tian immediately became furious. That Luo Yiming dared to disobey him. Just now, he did not even respond when Lord Luo Tian called out to him.


    However, as soon as Luo Tian Jun finished his words, Luo Yiming''s face was immediately filled with anger. He shouted at him, "Shut up! You''re not allowed to insult our Glory Sect!"


    Luo Tian was stunned. How dare this little rascal scold him?


    But right after that, Luo Yiming continued: "Little royal uncle, I respect you and call you little royal uncle, but if you dare to speak rudely to the Glory Sect again, then don''t worry about my royal nephew not showing mercy!"


    Luo Yiming''s words were firm and decisive, causing Lord Luo Tian to be startled.


    However, Luo Tian Jun couldn''t suppress her anger any longer. This was truly defying the will of the heavens. This little bastard dared to speak to me in such a manner.


    However, Yan Wuhen had suddenly appeared in front of Luo Yiming and blocked his attack.


    "Die!" Allheaven was full of anger. He threw out a palm attack with unparalleled power.


    But when it landed on Yan Wuhen''s body, it was like a spring breeze blowing through the rain. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared without a trace.


    "What?" The others'' eyes froze for a moment. No one knew how Yan Wuhen had managed to neutralize the powerful attack of Lord Luo Tian.


    Allheaven''s palm did not work, and he immediately rushed forward. Just as he was about to swing out his second palm strike, Yan Wuhen suddenly made his move.


    "Kneel!" Yan Wuhen suddenly threw out a palm which was like a mountain pressing down on Allheaven.


    Luo Tian did not even have the strength to retaliate. In the blink of an eye, he was forced to his knees by Yan Wuhen.


    Allheaven gritted his teeth to the point that blood was about to flow out, but he was still unable to block Yan Wuhen''s attack.


    At this moment, Su Xiao also made his move.


    "A cold light shines from a sword!" With a "peng" sound, the long sword in Su Xiao''s hand released waves of boundless sword Qi. It was like 3000 weak water, slashing straight towards Yan Wuhen!


    Li Xiaoshan, who was standing behind Yan Wuhen, suddenly spoke, "Senior Brother Su, this has nothing to do with you. Why do you need to make a move!?"


    "Xiaoshan, no problem!" Yan Wuhen spoke indifferently, "Since your senior is willing to help this young prince, why did you stop him!"


    As he spoke, Yan Wuhen pointed his finger at the sky. His finger emitted boundless elemental energy, which landed on the sword in Su Xiao''s hand.


    The sword Qi broke in half. Yan Wuhen pointed his finger once again. The power of his finger once again landed on Su Xiao''s body.


    Su Xiao dodged to the side, and immediately put his sword in front of his body to block.


    The power of Yan Wuhen''s finger also came at this moment.


    Su Xiao''s body trembled slightly. He flew out and weakly fell to the ground. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and did not stand up again.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" At this moment, Ji Fangge and the two others, who were standing at the side, suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.


    This Yan Wuhen, was he that strong?


    That Luo Tian Jun and Su Xiao were just a hair''s breadth away from reaching the Astral Realm. But now, facing this Yan Wuhen, they actually couldn''t even withstand a single move from him?


    At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi and Mo Xiaolang''s hearts were also somewhat heavy. Just who was this Yan Wuhen to actually be so powerful, to actually be able to take down Su Xiao and Luo Tiannan with almost no bloodshed.


    However, the two of them did not hesitate at all. There was something wrong with this Yan Wuhen.


    However, at this moment, Chu Feng suddenly shouted, "Yan Wuhen, you''re really from the Blood Demon Sect!"


    When Lin Tian said that Yan Wuhen was from the Blood Demon Sect, Chu Feng did not quite believe him. But now, he had no doubt that in the short span of a few days, Yan Wuhen''s strength had increased by several times. This was more than enough to prove Yan Wuhen''s identity.


    "Blood Demon Sect!"


    "Blood Demon Sect!"


    At the same time, Jiang Ruoxi, Mo Xiaolang, Luo Tiannan, and Su Xiao exclaimed in unison.


    They finally understood why these students would look at them with bloodthirsty gazes that were filled with killing intent.


    He also understood why Yan Wuhen was so strong, and why he would say "Glory Sect"!


    They were all from Blood Demon Sect!


    Thinking of this, Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er, Mo Xiaolang and the others felt chills down their spines.


    They naturally knew what this meant.


    Almost all the students who were able to enter the Tian Luo secret realm were the strongest ten disciples of the five academies.


    But now, these students had all been eroded by Blood Demon Sect. They were no different from a blood puppet!


    Especially Luo Yiming, Li Xiaoshan, Mo Qi, and Xiao Xun Er.


    These four students were the second best students of the various academies, and they were all highly sought after by the various academies.


    In fact, Luo Yiming was a member of the royal family, and Li Xiaoshan was the disciple of the sword fanatic!


    However, even these students had been corrupted by the Blood Demon Sect and became its lackeys!


    Mo Xiaolang''s body trembled, he did not care about the injuries left after being struck by Lin Tian''s fist just now, and rushed straight towards Yan Wuhen!

 C352 Lin tian

    Yan Wuhen gave a slight sneer and sent Luo Tiannan, who was kneeling on the ground, flying with a kick. He then suddenly sent a palm towards Mo Xiaolang, who was pouncing on him.


    Mo Xiaolang''s body fell to the ground in response. He flew out just like Luo Tiannan. "Wuwuwu ~ ~ ~" Luo Tiannan''s voice suddenly echoed in everyone''s mind. "Wuwuwu ~ ~" "wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu¡­


    In the blink of an eye, Yan Wuhen, with an invincible aura, knocked down all the geniuses from the Sword Inquisition Academy, the Royal Academy, and even the number one genius of the Tigers and Wolves Camp with a single move.


    Then, Yan Wuhen''s gaze swept towards Jiang Ruoxi, and he chuckled, "I advise you not to do anything. You''re not my opponent, and I don''t want to hit women either ¡­"


    Saying that, Yan Wuhen turned around to face Ji Fangge, who was standing not too far away, and said, "Fangge, are you here to fight with me as well?"


    Ji Fang Ge looked at Yan Wu Hen warily, but did not say a word.


    Yan Wuhen laughed out loud, "What top genius of the Five Great Academies, what Hidden Dragon Rank, what top prodigy of Tian Luo!?" It''s just a bunch of trash! "


    Yan Wuhen''s words were extremely domineering, causing the four people behind him to sigh with emotion.


    In the next moment, the four people behind him kneeled down and said in unison, "Lord Enforcer''s divine arts are unrivalled. My Unparalleled Saint Sect is invincible!"


    Yan Wuhen laughed out loud. Then, he turned to Lee Shan Shan and said, "Xiaoshan, go take a look. What exactly is the fragrance coming from this place?"


    Lee Shan nodded his head and walked away.


    However, Jiang Ruoxi asked, "Yan Wuhen, what are you trying to do?! If you do this to the geniuses of the Five Great Academies, aren''t you afraid that once we get out, the Headmaster of the Five Great Academies and the current king will kill all of you? "


    "Kill them all?" Yan Wuhen laughed involuntarily, "At least they will know what happened in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. After refining all of you into Blood Puppets, they will listen to my instructions. What do you think they will know?"


    He then said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the students my Glory Sect has planted in the academies are far beyond your imagination. Of course, the most important thing is that the endless river of blood of my Glory Sect is about to be successfully forged, at that time, the entire Tian Luo Kingdom will be sacrificed, and then, the branches of the other countries will be united. When that time comes, the tens of millions of kingdoms will be sacrificed, the six great sects of the Western Spiritual Region will be annihilated, and the glory of our Glory Sect will be restored!"


    Yan Wuhen said passionately. Behind him, Mo Qi, Xiao Xun Er, and Luo Yiming all had faces full of yearning and excitement.


    As for the other students, when they heard Yan Wuhen''s voice, they also looked at Yan Wuhen with fervor. It was as if even Lin Tian''s blood had lost its attraction to them.


    Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er, Jiang Ruoxi, Luo Tiannan, and the others felt as if their hearts had died when they heard Yan Wuhen''s words. Before this, the five great academies had been on guard against the infiltration of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Furthermore, the Blood Demon Sect had actually planned everything long before this. They wanted to sacrifice the entire Tian Luo Country''s blood!


    They immediately felt their scalps go numb. They were so surprised that they couldn''t speak anymore.


    "Hmm?" Yan Wushang suddenly frowned, "Little Shan, why haven''t you come out in such a long time? Little Seven, go take a look!"


    Mo Qi nodded and entered the cultivation technique hall.


    "However, we should still have a hearty meal now. It seems that we haven''t eaten our fill in a long, long time ¡­" Yan Wuhen''s appetite was also stimulated by the fragrance that was being released by the Cultivation Technique''s great hall. He could not help but want to drink some essence blood to replenish his energy.


    He stared fixedly at Jiang Ruoxi, and then he smiled cruelly, "The blood of a woman should be extremely delicious, I won''t be polite for now!"


    As Yan Wuhen spoke, he rushed towards Jiang Ruoxi.


    Luo Yiming''s appetite was also stirred. He stared at Luo Tianjun who was lying on the ground and said, "Little imperial uncle, you and I are of the same race. You are my royal uncle.


    As he spoke, he rushed towards Allheaven.


    As for Xiao Xuan''er, she was currently staring at Ji Fangge behind her. "I''ve long since heard that there is a white-clothed Saint Child of the Azure Province with a Sacred Heart. I would like to try the taste of Sacred Blood!"


    As he spoke, he also charged towards Ji Fang Ge.


    When the other students standing on the spot saw that Yan Wuhen had attacked, they naturally would not be polite.


    At this moment, everyone was crazily rushing towards Lin Tian.


    They had been restraining themselves just now, because the person controlling them, Yan Wuhen, had not come yet. They could not make a move against Lin Tian.


    But the fragrance of Lin Tian''s blood was truly too enticing, causing all of them to be unable to resist gathering at this place.


    Until now, when they saw Yan Wuhen suddenly make a move, the other students could no longer suppress the desire in their hearts and crazily rushed towards Lin Tian.


    At this moment, Lin Tian turned around and glanced at Mo Qi and Li Xiaoshan who were lying on the ground. Then he gently smiled.


    In the next moment, endless blood qi suddenly exploded from Lin Tian''s body. Power, air waves, in an instant, all gathered onto Lin Tian''s body.


    Not long after, Lin Tian fiercely threw a punch towards the crowd that was charging at him!


    "Bang bang bang!"


    The power of that punch contained boundless power. In the blink of an eye, it crushed down onto the students.


    AHH!" Miserable screams rang out, shocking everyone.


    Even Yan Wuhen, who had knocked Jiang Ruoxi over with a punch and wanted to absorb her blood essence, was disoriented by the scene in front of him. He was at a loss of what to do.


    The next moment, countless students'' bodies flew out from the Cultivation Technique Hall and fell to the ground. They all moaned and spat out blood.


    "Bang bang bang!" One wave had yet to calm down, the other wave had already begun.


    Another batch of students flew out and crashed into the ground with a loud bang.


    Yan Wuhen''s figure suddenly exploded into action as he charged towards the Cultivation Technique Hall.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s last punch was already thrown out.


    As this fist was thrown out, all the students in the Cultivation Technique Hall were sent flying by Lin Tian.


    In the Cultivation Technique Hall, only Lin Tian and the figure of Yan Wuhen who had just entered was left.


    At the same time, everyone outside the Cultivation Technique Hall could clearly see the situation inside.


    "Lin Tian!" A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Wuhen''s eyes, but it was mostly malice.


    "Hmm?" Ji Fangge and Gu Yan''er also suddenly turned their heads. If that figure standing in the Cultivation Technique Hall wasn''t Lin Tian, then who else could it be?!


    "Lin Tian ¡­" Luo Tian Jun, Su Xiao, Jiang Ruoxi, and Mo Xiao Lang looked at Lin Tian with a miserable expression. There were hundreds of different feelings in their hearts ¡­


    He hadn''t thought that the person in the Cultivation Hall would be Lin Tian!

 C353 Invincible body!

    At this moment, Yan Wuhen''s face was filled with a dark ruthlessness as he looked at Lin Tian, then pointed at Mo Qi and Li Xiaoshan on the ground, then asked: "Did you kill all of them?"


    Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head, then coldly said: "The next one is you!"


    "Good! I want to see how strong Lin Tian, who shone so brilliantly in the Freshman Rites, is, after all, the only Heaven Chosen in the past thousand years of the Azure Province!" Yan Wuhen looked coldly at Lin Tian, and said while gnashing his teeth.


    "I''m not that strong, but it''s enough to kill a bug like you!" Lin Tian slightly smiled, he did not waste any words, he immediately used the God Transforming Steps, and in the next moment, a fist suddenly flew towards Yan Wuhen.


    Facing the fist wind that had suddenly appeared, Yan Wuhen was suddenly shocked. He had never thought that Lin Tian would actually have such speed. In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had actually sent a fist over.


    Facing Lin Tian''s fist, Yan Wuhen did not dare to be negligent. He could already feel the power of Lin Tian''s fist.


    However, even though Yan Wuhen had adjusted his strength to its maximum, after receiving Lin Tian''s punch, he was still pushed back several steps by Lin Tian''s punch before finally stabilizing his body.


    It could be imagined how terrifying Lin Tian''s fist was!


    "Kill!" A punch was thrown out. After it worked, Lin Tian once again leaned forward and forcefully punched out again.


    After obtaining the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique, Lin Tian''s body strength was almost invincible. His punches were also simple and crude, relying solely on his strength to strike at Yan Wuhen.


    Yan Wuhen once again received Lin Tian''s punch. Without a doubt, this punch was once again forcefully pushed back by Lin Tian, both of his fists were forced back by Lin Tian, causing Yan Wuhen to be unable to suppress his anger.


    "Blood Demon Hand!" Yan Wuhen''s thick palm suddenly struck towards Lin Tian.


    The wide and terrifying palm already had an extremely horrifying blood-red colour. It was as if the power of one palm was going to kill Lin Tian under it!


    Lin Tian did not care and punched again.


    The strength of his fleshly body had also been adjusted to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Yan Wuhen.


    He did not dodge or retreat. It was clear that he was going to clash head on with Yan Wuhen.


    Lin Tian was going to use his fist to exchange for Yan Wuhen''s palm!


    "No!" At this moment, Ji Fangge suddenly shouted.


    He had just personally witnessed Yan Wuhen defeating geniuses like Su Xiao and Luo Tian Jun with one palm.


    If Lin Tian used his own body to block that full force palm of Yan Wuhen, he would definitely suffer a huge loss.


    However, Luo Yiming and Xiao Xun Er sneered as they looked at Lin Tian.


    This brat actually did not know what was good for him, he actually wanted to use his body to block Yan Wuhen''s palm strike?


    He probably didn''t even know how he died!


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian and Yan Wuhen collided.


    Yan Wuhen''s palm completely landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    And Lin Tian''s fist also smashed onto Yan Wuhen''s body.


    The two of them did not defend at all. It was a move that involved a life and death struggle.


    With a loud bang, in the next moment, the two of them completely separated.


    Lin Tian''s body stood still and did not move. Obviously, Yan Wuhen''s palm strike had no effect on Lin Tian.


    On the other hand, Yan Wuhen only managed to stabilize himself after taking a few steps back.


    Not only that, Yan Wushang even spat out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale. He had actually been injured!


    "How is this possible!" One must know, Yan Wuhen was their Lord Enforcer. Just now, he had defeated several geniuses from the other academies in an instant, but why did he appear in front of Lin Tian? He seemed to not be able to match his strength at all ¡­


    This was not what surprised him the most. What shocked him the most was that Lin Tian was not actually injured!


    There was not the slightest injury. Not only that, an endless amount of energy had actually gathered on Lin Tian''s body. He was actually once again charging towards Yan Wuhen!


    That''s right, Yan Wuhen''s palm strike was completely useless against Lin Tian!


    On the side, Ji Fangge and the others were also looking at Lin Tian with stunned faces.


    His physical body ¡­ And his strength!


    "Star River Realm!" At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi suddenly shouted out. She didn''t think that geniuses like them wouldn''t think much of Lin Tian, but she didn''t expect that in less than a month, Lin Tian had actually reached the Milky Way Realm!


    Luo Tian Jun and Su Xiao both had dead expressions on their faces. They knew very well that the current Lin Tian was no longer someone they could bear a grudge against ¡­


    "Try taking another punch of mine!" Lin Tian sneered as he once again charged at Yan Wuhen.


    At this moment, Yan Wuhen''s expression was also unsettled. He did not expect that after less than nine days in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, Lin Tian''s strength had once again increased by a large amount!


    Also, the strength of his body was simply incomparably terrifying. If it was anyone else using his own Blood Demon Palm, he could have used this palm to kill him. But when it landed on Lin Tian''s body, Lin Tian was unexpectedly completely fine.


    Not bad. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body once again shot towards him.


    Another punch!


    Lin Tian exerted his physical body strength to the limit, and in the blink of an eye, he was once again in front of Yan Wuhen.


    Yan Wuhen did not dare to hesitate, and once again adjusted his strength to its best, wanting to block Lin Tian''s attack.


    But of course, the result would not be as he had hoped.


    Yan Wuhen was once again forced back by Lin Tian''s fist. This time, the pain on Yan Wuhen''s face became even more intense, to the point where he even had the intention of forcefully supporting himself.


    Lin Tian could also clearly feel that this Yan Wushang was on the verge of collapse, and was still holding on with his breath, not falling down.


    Lin Tian once again charged without hesitation.


    However, at this moment, Yan Wuhen''s face became even more ferocious, "Do you really think that your physical body is invincible? Great! Today, I want to see just how strong your physical body is!"


    As he spoke, Yan Wuhen''s hands suddenly turned into sharp claws. These blood-red claws no longer looked like human hands, but more like the hands of a demon.


    "Great Ripping Claw!" Yan Wuhen suddenly charged towards Lin Tian.


    His speed was incomparably fast and in the blink of an eye, he also arrived in front of Lin Tian. Just as Yan Wuhen''s pair of claws was about to grab Lin Tian, Lin Tian''s figure fiercely retreated.


    "Whoosh!" In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian disappeared from where he was. In the next moment, his body had already left the range that Yan Wuhen''s one claw strike had covered.


    In the next moment, a green light flashed in Lin Tian''s hand and the Dragon Scale Spear fiercely flew out.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian roared in anger, the green light emitted from the Dragon Scale Spear shot out towards Yan Wuhen!

 C354 Great law of disintegration of blood demons

    "Clang!" With a loud sound, the dragon scale spear pierced through Yan Wuhen''s pair of claws, unexpectedly producing a sound similar to metal colliding.


    Evidently, Yan Wushang''s claws were not only extremely powerful, but also incomparably frightening in terms of defensive power.


    His Dragon Scale Spear was almost invincible, but when it hit the claws of his two hands, it did not manage to injure Yan Wuhen.


    However, Lin Tian was not afraid. His body was invincible, even if he did not dodge, his body would definitely be able to withstand one claw from Yan Wuhen.


    Just in case, he still avoided it.


    However, that Yan Wuhen once again reached out his claw, "Aren''t you very strong? Where are you hiding now?"


    Lin Tian did not reply and swung his spear again.


    "An afterimage!" The spear instantly transformed into hundreds of spear shadows, shooting straight towards Yan Wuhen.


    However, the spear was torn apart by Yan Wuhen''s claw.


    From this, it could be seen how powerful that Ripping Hand was.


    Lin Tian''s expression did not change. In the next moment, his Divine Mansion gathered endless Spirit power. After that, he suddenly drew a rune that flickered in the air.


    "Is he going to have to use his own Symbol Master techniques?" Yan Wuhen laughed sinisterly as he made a grabbing motion towards a nearby student. A student who had fallen to the ground was immediately caught by him.


    "Break for me!" As Yan Wuhen spoke, he used his hands and tore the student into two halves.


    The next moment, Yan Wuhen''s body emitted a terrifying black fog, engulfing the torn student. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a rain of blood, which was then completely swallowed by Yan Wuhen.


    After Yan Wuhen had swallowed that student, his aura soared once again, to a terrifying degree.


    The others all looked at Yan Wuhen''s technique in horror. This Blood Demon Sect technique was indeed frightening. It could actually swallow a living person!


    But at this time, Lin Tian had already finished drawing the rune in his hand. He coldly shouted: "Dragon Locking Formation! "Form a formation for me!"


    Not long after, it had formed into a transparent formation. On the formation, there were flying dragons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. At this moment, the formation had already completely trapped Yan Wuhen, preventing him from advancing any further.


    "Bang, bang, bang!" However, in the next moment, Yan Wushang, who was in the formation, was naturally unwilling to give up. He continued to launch violent attacks at the formation.


    But how could Lin Tian let him do so.


    A large amount of spiritual energy surged out from his body and into the dragon sealing formation.


    It was at this time that Luo Yiming and Xiao Xun''er saw Lin Tian trap Yan Wuhen. They rushed towards Lin Tian in order to support him.


    Lin Tian did not even turn his head as he punched out.


    Ah!" Luo Yiming was instantly sent flying by Lin Tian''s palm. He felt as if all the meridians in his body had been broken by Lin Tian.


    But in the next moment, Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear followed suit.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian''s spear had cut down Luo Yiming.


    At the same time, he punched a second time.


    This fist, however, was directed at Xiao Xuan''er.


    "Bam!" Another punch sent Xiao Xuan''er flying. In the next moment, the spear in Lin Tian''s hand followed up with another spear. This spear shot directly through Xiao Xuan''er''s chest and nailed her to the ground.


    Two fists in a row, two spears, Luo Yiming and Xiao Xuan''er, who were the second ranked geniuses of the Royal Academy and the Misty Academy, were actually directly crushed and killed by Lin Tian.


    At this moment, everyone else also saw the corpses of Mo Qi and Li Xiaoshan.


    Yan Wuhen''s henchmen in the other four great academies had all been killed by Lin Tian at this moment.


    At the same time, Lin Tian once again turned around to look at Yan Wuhen. Actually, this Yan Wuhen also made Lin Tian feel incredulous.


    The main reason was because of Yan Wuhen''s strength. Originally, Lin Tian thought that he would be able to easily kill Yan Wuhen, but he never thought that Yan Wuhen''s methods would exceed his imagination, allowing him to fight with him for such a long time.


    But Lin Tian did not think too much about it. In the Divine Mansion, once again, a powerful and terrifying mental power gathered. In the blink of an eye, it turned into countless shuttle-shaped sharp blades that directly flew towards Yan Wuhen.


    AHH!" Yan Wuhen''s pitiful cries could be heard.


    His face was ashen white to the extreme. Just now, Lin Tian had used the power of the Primordial Spirit Shuttle, which had severely injured Yan Wuhen''s soul.


    In the next moment, blood trickled out from the corner of Yan Wuhen''s mouth as he looked miserably at Lin Tian. Then, he hissed: "Little bastard, you forced me to do this!"


    As he said that, endless Blood Qi surged out from Yan Wuhen''s body. Blood Qi soared to the sky, and Yan Wuhen immediately roared out towards Lin Tian in a low voice: "Blood ¡ª ¡ª Magic ¡ª ¡ª Body!"


    In that instant, Yan Wuhen''s head, as well as his four limbs, suddenly exploded. A stream of terrifying blood shot out from the transparent formation.


    But at the same time, the Dragon Locking Formation that Lin Tian laid suddenly exploded.


    However, at this moment, Yan Wuhen''s body had turned into a lump of indistinct flesh and blood.


    This was a bit terrifying, even Lin Tian was dazed as he looked at Yan Wuhen''s situation.


    In the next moment, that lump of flesh and blood actually started to grow strangely. Not long later, that lump of indistinct flesh and blood actually turned into Yan Wuhen once again.


    However, this time around, Yan Wushang''s appearance was extremely terrifying.


    At this moment, his entire body was covered in bright red blood. Impressively, he was a blood man. His mouth issued out a miserable and terrifying roar. The next moment, Yan Wuhen roared out once again, "Blood Sacrifice!"


    The next moment, those students that were controlled by Yan Wuhen using Gu worms actually got up and walked towards Yan Wuhen.


    And at this moment, Yan Wuhen suddenly opened his bloody mouth.


    The next moment, something even stranger happened.


    The students that were controlled by the Gu worm had all self-destructed when they arrived in front of Yan Wuhen!


    Bang, bang, bang. Streaks of blood-red light appeared in front of everyone''s eyes. One by one, the students self-destructed and turned into a rain of blood, which eventually fell into Yan Wuhen''s mouth.


    After swallowing the blood aura, the aura on Yan Wuhen''s body began to grow crazily.


    Lin Tian and the others stared blankly at Yan Wuhen''s current appearance, somewhat dazed.


    What was going on?


    "Lin Tian, quickly make your move!" Right at this moment, Ji Fangge''s violent roar came from behind Lin Tian: "This is the blood sacrifice method. He wants to borrow the power of those students to make us blood sacrifice!"


    "Blood Sacrifice!" The other students felt a chill in their hearts, and in the next moment, a bitter smile appeared on their faces.


    This is it, they should all die here ¡­

 C355 Killing yan wuhen with a flick of a finger

    Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brows. He naturally knew that this was his final trump card.


    Lin Tian had heard a bit about the blood sacrifice method before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was somewhat shocked.


    There were a total of fifty students who had come to the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    Other than Ji Fang Ge and a few others, the remaining forty odd people were all swallowed by Yan Wu Hen in less than a minute.


    The process was extremely cruel and terrifying, causing even Lin Tian to tremble in fear.


    "Hurry up and attack!" Ji Fangge continued to yell, but seeing that Lin Tian was still frozen on the spot, he no longer hesitated and was about to attack.


    However, before Ji Fangge could reach Yan Wuhen, he was blocked by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian gently shook his head: "No worries, I want to see just how terrifying this Blood Sacrifice is!"


    "Are you crazy?" Ji Fangge was shocked. "When he finishes this blood sacrifice, all of us will die!"


    "Not necessarily!" Lin Tian still shook his head, and let Ji Fang Ge lead the others and retreat further away. He stood on the spot, quietly watching Yan Wu Hen.


    This stalemate continued for an unknown period of time before Yan Wuhen finally completed his blood sacrifice.


    "Infinite Blood River, come out!" Yan Wuhen suddenly shouted.


    Above his head, the image of a huge river of blood slowly appeared.


    It was an enormous blood-red river. Naturally, the river of blood was formed from droplets of blood.


    "Go to hell!" In the next moment, Yan Wuhen controlled the endless blood river and charged towards Lin Tian. The enormous blood river immediately enveloped Lin Tian completely.


    The instant the blood river enveloped Lin Tian, Lin Tian immediately felt the power of the blood river.


    The moment the blood in Lin Tian''s body was covered by the blood river, it actually began to flow backwards. As the blood flowed backwards, Lin Tian immediately felt a heavy feeling of oppression from within his heart.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that within his mind, there was actually a bloodthirsty feeling that he couldn''t suppress. Killing and blood, it seemed like only these two things could let Lin Tian''s heart feel at peace.


    Lin Tian tightly guarded his heart, quietly perceiving the power of the blood river. His soul remained firm and unmoved.


    After resisting for who knows how long, Lin Tian finally felt his blood flow return to its normal state.


    Lin Tian did not continue to insist. He lightly laughed and said: "The so-called blood sacrifice is only so much!"


    As he said this, the small grass in his soul suddenly came out from his Divine Palace. In the next moment, it crazily charged towards the blood river!


    Something strange happened. The moment the grass charged into the river of blood, the blood in the river of blood actually rapidly decreased. Not long later, the entire river of blood was completely devoured by the grass.


    "This, this ¡­" Only now did Yan Wuhen come back to his senses. He had already sensed that something was wrong, but he did not pay much attention to it.


    But by the time he could react, it was already too late.


    With the blood river gone, Yan Wuhen was like a toothless tiger, with no more cards left to play.


    Lin Tian immediately made his move and punched again. Only, this time, Lin Tian finally used his martial arts.


    "Sky Collapsing Palm!" In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Yan Wuhen and punched out. The boundless strength of his physical body combined with his Sky Collapsing Palm.


    "A punch landed on Yan Wuhen."


    Yan Wuhen''s figure immediately flew out, his flesh and blood almost crumbling.


    This punch, Yan Wuhen could not block!


    Lin Tian''s spear pierced through Yan Wuhen''s throat, nailing him to a wall outside the palace.


    "You, how could you possibly break my endless river of blood!" Yan Wuhen struggled as he shouted towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian smiled slightly and said: "Because, I am the nemesis of your Blood Demon Sect!"


    Saying that, Lin Tian added with a smile that was not a smile: "It''s Sky Killer!"


    A natural nemesis!


    That''s right, Lin Tian was the natural nemesis of the Blood Demon Sect, because he had the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine!


    The Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine was originally meant to feed on human blood essence. The more blood it absorbed, the purer the blood energy would be, and the more terrifying the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine would be.


    It was almost unsolvable, no one could do anything about it.


    The most powerful treasure of the Blood Demon Sect was the endless river of blood that they had created, the blood sacrifice of countless humans.


    However, this endless blood river was the most suitable nutrient for the grass.


    The reason why Lin Tian didn''t immediately use the grass just now was because he wanted to feel just how strong the power of the endless blood river and the blood sacrifice was.


    But later on, he discovered that when he could completely deal with it, Lin Tian no longer had any qualms and directly sent out his grass. Without the power of the Blood River supporting Yan Wuhen, how could he possibly be Lin Tian''s opponent.


    At this moment, the grass wasn''t satisfied yet. It shot out a vine and pulled Yan Wuhen over. Not long after, Yan Wuhen turned into a pile of bones and was spat out by the grass.


    At this time, the corpses on the ground, including Li Xiaoshan, Mo Qi, Xiao Xuan''er, and Luo Yiming, had all been devoured by the grass and turned into white bones.


    After doing all of this, the crisis was over.


    Lin Tian withdrew the grass and the grass intimately rubbed against Lin Tian''s face before returning to Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    At this time, the rest of the people were all looking at Lin Tian in disbelief, especially the earlier display of divine might from Little Grass. Everyone clearly saw it and was momentarily stunned.


    The originally fatal situation was broken by Lin Tian so easily?


    Just how strong was Lin Tian? Also, what was that grass? It could actually eat people!


    They were shocked and confused, but they still felt extremely complicated.


    This was especially true for Mo Xiaolang, Su Xiao, Jiang Ruoxi, and Luo Tiannan. At this moment, they felt a burst of shame in their hearts.


    He never would have thought that in the moment of death, it was Lin Tian who saved them. This was truly an ironic matter.


    Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er, and Chu Feng were still alright, but Lin Tian was a student of the Azure Province Academy. In the end, the matter was resolved and it wasn''t that bad ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t pay attention to Mo Xiaolang and the other two and said to Ji Fangge: "Why are you still standing there? It''s not too long. Quickly go and find the treasures. Tomorrow, you''ll have to leave ¡­"


    The three of them immediately left as if they had just woken up from a dream.


    Mo Xiaofei and the others also left in silence, but before they left, Jiang Ruoxi bit her lips to thank Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head, indicating that he understood. After which, he continued to look for martial arts techniques.


    He really did lack martial arts techniques. In this place, if he could find a suitable martial arts technique for himself, it would be an unexpected gain ¡­

 C356 Return of the secret realm

    Before he searched for that cultivation technique, Lin Tian had gone through everything in his heart.


    Ever since he had arrived at the Tian Luo Secret Realm, his biggest gain this time was naturally the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    Of course, there was also the Celestial Mouse.


    As for the other huge gain, it was that Lin Tian finally knew the Blood Demon Sect''s next plan.


    The reason why Lin Tian had initially attracted everyone over with his blood and even waited for Yan Wuhen to defeat the other students, the reason why Lin Tian did not intervene, was because he wanted to find out Yan Wuhen''s plan in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, or perhaps he wanted to find out some of the secrets of the Blood Demon Sect from Yan Wuhen''s mouth ¡­


    Of course, Lin Tian had already guessed Yan Wuhen''s plan in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. He wanted to sacrifice all of these students to become Blood Puppets. That Mo Qi and the other three were already no different from Blood Puppets.


    Yan Wuhen had also revealed the Blood Demon Sect''s next plan. This could be considered an unexpected gain.


    He never thought that the Blood Demon Sect would have such a huge appetite. They truly wanted to sacrifice their blood to the entire Tian Luo Kingdom, then use the Tian Luo Kingdom as a springboard to expand their power to other kingdoms.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian started to faintly worry.


    One had to know that his own master, Xiao Yunhai, had gone to find Blood Demon Sect. It seemed that the Blood Demon Sect had a thorough plan and was following it every step of the way.


    If that was the case, wouldn''t Xiao Yunhai just be walking right into a trap to scout out Blood Demon Sect?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Jin began to feel uneasy.


    Furthermore, from Yan Wuhen''s tone, it seemed that he was extremely confident in the plans of the Blood Demon Sect. However, where did that confidence come from?


    It was obviously impossible for the king, Luo Tianyi, and his own grandmaster, Gu Qingyuan, to be completely ignorant of this matter. But why was there no reaction?


    Of course, it is also possible that they were already prepared in secret, it is just that they didn''t know about it ¡­


    But no matter what, this time, if he left the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, the first thing Lin Tian would do was to explain this matter to the higher ups of the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    The Blood Demon Sect had to be on guard. Not everyone had the strength and treasure of Lin Tian, so if they let the Blood Demon Sect carry out their plans, then they wouldn''t be the only ones to suffer.


    After roughly getting a general idea of this matter, Lin Tian no longer thought about this matter and was completely immersed in the Cultivation Method Hall.


    In the Cultivation Technique Hall, there were all sorts of martial arts manuals that had been collected by the Sage throughout the years.


    However, Lin Tian had just skimmed through a bit and found another problem.


    This saint seemed to have gone mad with longing for longevity. Most of these books were related to how to extend one''s lifespan. There were almost no martial arts techniques that were truly strong in offensive strength.


    It was no wonder that even after the death of the saint, his soul would still be bedeviled, occupying the space within the Coiling Dragon spirit rune.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately began to lose interest. To Lin Tian, martial arts techniques to increase lifespan were completely useless.


    With so many cultivation techniques, Lin Tian did have some gains.


    There was one martial art with decent offensive power called the One Heavenly Finger.


    This was a finger technique. Although its attack power was not bad, it had a lot of restrictions on Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s physical body was unparalleled, but if he wanted to maximize its power, he still needed a fist.


    The Finger Art could only display seventy to eighty percent of its power at most, so it wasn''t particularly strong. However, it was better than nothing, so Lin Tian still accepted it.


    But this time, Lin Tian was determined again. He must find a few more powerful martial arts techniques. Even if he went to the auction, he must obtain them.


    As for the other halls, Lin Tian didn''t go.


    However, there were always so many treasures in there. Therefore, after leaving, no matter how many treasures you bring with you, it will be taken away by the Imperial Family. As a student, you can only choose three at most ¡­


    At the same time that Lin Tian chose the treasure, the other students also finished searching one after another.


    This jade hairpin was a defensive type of magic treasure. If Gu Yan''er''s Woeful Poison Body was fully developed, she would not have to worry about its attack, but its defensive strength was still a problem. However, with this magic treasure, it would be able to resolve a great problem for her.


    The other students also had their own gains.


    And today, was also the tenth day since they had entered the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    Of course, today was also the day they were going to leave this place.


    Everyone held a jade slip in their hands and crushed it together. In the next moment, their minds spun as they were transported out of the Tian Luo Mystic Realm.


    At this moment, the figures of the crowd suddenly appeared within the palace.


    But this time, there were only eight people left.


    Mo Xiaofei, Luo Tiannan, Jiang Ruoxi, Su Xiao, these four were the top geniuses of the four great academies, leaving behind four people. Gu Yan''er, Ji Fangge, Chu Feng, and Lin Tian.


    If nothing unexpected happened, the rankings of the five great academies would undergo a tremendous change ¡­


    After all, entering the Heavenly Luo Mystic Realm required one to rank the Five Great Academies based on the final results.


    However, when the eight of them came out, they didn''t find any trace of the king, Luo Tianyi, in the palace hall.


    Inside the palace hall, the one waiting for them to come out was unexpectedly the current Eldest Prince Luo, Luo Rufeng.


    "Ru Feng, where is your father?" Allheaven asked the First Prince.


    Luo Tian Jun was the youngest brother of the current king, so he was naturally Luo Rufeng''s uncle.


    When Luo Rufeng first saw that there were only eight people coming out, he was stunned. However, when he heard the question, he quickly replied, "Little royal uncle, father has some matters to attend to, so he ordered me to wait here for everyone ¡­"


    As he spoke, Luo Rufeng once again opened his mouth and asked, "Little imperial uncle, didn''t fifty people enter? How come now ¡­"


    "Don''t ask anymore, bring us to see your royal father now!" Luo Tian Jun impatiently interrupted Luo Rufeng''s words. Luo Tian Jun had personally witnessed the terror of Yan Wuhen within the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. Furthermore, the Blood Demon Sect was a taboo of the Western Spirit Region.


    "Little Royal Uncle, Royal Father is not in the Imperial City ¡­" Luo Rufeng immediately explained.


    "Then where is it?"


    "I don''t know about that, Father only said that he had some important matters to settle. As for where he was going and what he was going for, he didn''t tell me. However, the Headmasters of the five academies all followed Father!" Luo Rufeng answered honestly.


    "What?" Lin Tian Deng immediately cried out in surprise: "The five great chairmen are actually not in their respective academies?"

 C357 Catch a big change

    As soon as Luo Rufeng finished speaking, Lin Tian felt that something was off, which was why he had such a huge reaction.


    The others all stared blankly at Lin Tian. They didn''t know why Lin Tian would suddenly have such a reaction.


    But soon after, Mo Xiaolang, Luo Tiannan, Su Xiao, and Jiang Ruoxi came to a realization.


    "This is bad!" The four of them shouted in unison.


    At this moment, it was clear that they knew what had happened.


    In the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, Yan Wuhen had already mentioned that the Blood Demon Sect had planted almost all of their spies in the five great academies.


    When Yan Wuhen said this, the others did not take it to heart. However, at this moment, the five principal of the Five Great Academies had actually gone out with the king. How could this not cause everyone to be shocked!


    Since the Five Great Academies were not in charge of the academies, then if there were any problems, then it would undoubtedly be a huge problem!


    Lin Tian''s face immediately changed. Just as he wanted to pull a few people back to the Azure Province Academy, but after hesitating for a bit, he opened his mouth again and said: "Everyone, go to the Royal Academy right now!"


    "Royal Academy?" Everyone was slightly startled, but they immediately understood what Lin Tian meant.


    The other four academies were all too far away from the Royal Capital. Even if they rushed over now, it would already be too late. Only the Royal Academy was still within the Royal Capital.


    Everyone did not hesitate and directly followed Lin Tian.


    None of them seemed to have noticed it. At this moment, they were all following Lin Tianma''s lead, and no one rejected Lin Tian''s suggestion ¡­


    Luo Rufeng saw that everyone''s expression was not right. Just as he wanted to ask something, Lin Tian and the others had already left.


    Luo Rufeng immediately gave the order, and the entire Tian Luo City entered into a state of alert, no one was allowed to enter or leave the city.


    At this moment, the Royal Academy had already become a battlefield for the Shura.


    Corpses and blood everywhere.


    The Royal Academy''s Headmaster had already been called away by the Emperor three days ago, and he had secretly gone on some sort of mission.


    In the past three days, the royal family lost their leader.


    The miserable state of the Royal Academy had already started three days ago.


    The Blood Demon Sect had already invaded the inner area of the Royal Academy. Many students suddenly went berserk, massacring the surrounding students.


    The Royal Academy was in chaos. In the end, even the Vice Principal and the others had no way to stop the students from massacring each other.


    When Lin Tian and the rest arrived at the Royal Academy, it was already like hell on earth.


    "Royal brother, Royal brother ¡­" When Luo Tian Jun arrived at the main hall of the Royal Academy, there was an old man sitting in the middle of the hall. His heart had been dug out and his body was covered with horrifying bite marks.


    He was one of the vice principals of the Royal Academy and was also a member of the royal family. In terms of seniority, he was Luo Tian Jun''s elder brother.


    The vice principal still had a trace of breath left. Seeing that Luo Tian Jun had suddenly arrived, he quickly pushed him away and shouted, "Let''s go, report this to the king!"


    However, before he could finish his words, his body suddenly exploded. In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared above the great hall.


    A huge river of blood flowed above the man''s head. The moment the Vice Principal''s body exploded, he turned into a rain of pure blood and was absorbed by the river of blood above his head.


    "I didn''t expect there to be any survivors. Come out, there''s food!" That person laughed coldly and roared towards the empty hall.


    "Haha, there are actually people here to die. The deacon truly has divine foresight!" Not long after, the surrounding people suddenly appeared one by one, surrounding Lin Tian and the others.


    These people were the same as the previous person. They all had a huge river of blood above their heads.


    Lin Tian coldly looked at the crowd as his heart violently sank. Since the Royal Academy had already turned into this state, it was natural to imagine that the situation of the other academies should not be too far off from the Royal Academy''s.


    The coldness in Lin Tian''s eyes became even more obvious.


    In the next moment, without hesitation, he made his move. The small grass in his soul was instantly summoned by Lin Tian.


    In the blink of an eye, more than 100 vines appeared and charged toward the group.


    They didn''t know the power of the grass. It emitted its own blood river and surrounded Lin Tian.


    However, this move perfectly suited the meaning of the heavens.


    That small grass immediately crazily devoured the endless blood essence that converged in their blood river.


    Before long, the blood river of dozens of people had been devoured by the small grass.


    At this moment, the Blood Puppet from the Blood Demon Sect finally realized how terrifying Lin Tian''s vines were.


    In the next moment, everyone crazily charged at Lin Tian.


    However, before they could reach Lin Tian, their bodies were tightly wrapped by the grass vines. Not long after, all of their blood essence was sucked by the grass vines and they became eerie white bones as they fell onto the ground.


    In the blink of an eye, everyone''s danger had been resolved by Lin Tian.


    At this moment, Lin Tian had completely released his Spiritual Energy, sensing the aura of the entire Royal Academy, if there were still any demons present.


    But after sensing for a while, Lin Tian could not detect any Blood Puppets that had Blood Demon Sect auras. Only then did he withdraw the small grass.


    After swallowing countless amounts of blood, the grass was extremely excited, but at the same time, it also started to go berserk.


    As for the use of this blood towards it, it was evident now that the grass had completely grown. The originally delicate branches had also become hard.


    Lin Tian did not think too much and directly asked Allheaven to take care of the matters here. He directly asked the other three people: "Which of your three academies is closest to this place?"


    "The Misty Academy!" Jiang Ruoxi answered without hesitation.


    "Alright, let''s go to the Misty Academy now." Lin Tian slightly hesitated, then he communicated with the little grass in the Divine Manor and asked the little grass if it could split its power.


    The little grass was at a loss for a moment, and then it tore off one of its roots. In that instant, the root completely grew another stalk of grass.


    Lin Tian dripped a drop of his own blood and passed the grass to Ji Fangge, "Bring it back to Qingzhou first. This grass can definitely help you defend against the blood river''s effects, but remember, if you really can''t beat it, don''t fight it head on. After that, remember to look for Fang Xing and Du Feng''s whereabouts ¡­"


    As for the others, it would be best if they could be saved. However, if they were unable to be saved, there was nothing he could do about it.

 C358 Back to the north courtyard

    Ji Fangge had already experienced the power of this grass. Now that he saw Lin Tian give it to him, he couldn''t help but ask: "If you give this to me, then what about you?"


    "I still have more! Hurry up and go! If you''re late, you''ll be in trouble!" Lin Tian urged Gu Yan''er and Chu Feng to leave with Ji Fangge.


    Lin Tian followed Jiang Ruoxi, Mo Xiaolang, and Su Xiao to the Misty Academy.


    Right now, the five great academies were going through a huge change. He could only choose the principle of near them, otherwise, when the demon puppets of the five great academies spread throughout the country, the entire Tian Luo Kingdom would be destroyed in an instant.


    The five academies were not present, neither was the king. Lin Tian guessed that it was very likely that they had gone to Blood Demon Sect''s headquarters.


    They should have noticed it earlier, but none of them could have imagined that Blood Demon Sect had been hiding its strength so deeply from the students of the five great academies for so many years.


    However, thinking about it, it wasn''t hard to understand. Tian Luo Kingdom''s most outstanding disciples were all at the Five Great Academies. The Imperial City was heavily guarded, and entering the Imperial City was basically an impossible task.


    Tian Luo Kingdom''s cities had a limited number of martial cultivators. Most of them did not have outstanding talents and did not meet the requirements to develop the Blood Demon Sect.


    If the Blood Demon Sect wanted to grow, they would only need resources, and that was the blood essence of martial practitioners.


    The students of the five great academies, not a single one of them were not from the various provinces. The talents selected from each city, whether it was potential or talent, all met the requirements of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Also, if the Five Great Academies were to fall, Tian Luo Kingdom would fall in half ¡­


    Therefore, this business of the Blood Demon Sect was definitely worth a hundred percent.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became even more worried for Xiao Yunhai.


    Ever since the last time they parted ways in Sky Dragon City, Lin Tian had not known about Xiao Yunhai for almost a year.


    Now that the Blood Demon Sect was in the limelight, Xiao Yunhai did not know how they were doing ¡­


    However, it was useless to think about it now. He had to rush to the Misty Academy first to see what was going on.


    As expected of Lin Tian, the current situation of the Misty Academy and the Royal Academy was reversed. The entire Misty Academy had completely fallen without a single survivor.


    However, there were also dozens of Blood Puppets. Without a doubt, they were all killed by Lin Tian''s grass after his blood essence had been drained dry.


    After leaving Jiang Ruoxi to take care of the aftermath, Lin Tian followed Su Xiao to the Sword Inquisition.


    The Tiger Wolf Camp was too far away, and they were basically placed at the back.


    However, Mo Xiaolang didn''t dare to go back first. Facing these Blood Puppets, he didn''t have much strength to fight them. He could only rely on Lin Tian''s grass.


    After arriving at the Sword Inquisition Academy, the entire academy was relatively better. It wasn''t that serious. Lin Tian had even saved quite a few survivors.


    Tiger Wolf Camp.


    At this time, the Tigerwolf Battalion had already been thrown into chaos.


    As the barrier of Tian Luo, as well as the representative of Tian Luo''s military, the Tigers and Wolves, started to kill each other completely.


    In one night, corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.


    By the time Lin Tian and Mo Xiaolang arrived, the Tiger Wolf Battalion had already fallen into enemy hands.


    Lin Tian did as he was told and used the small grass to completely exterminate the Blood Demon Sect''s Blood Puppet that had been planted in the Tiger Wolf Camp.


    Lin Tian did not stop and kept on rushing back to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.


    Only, when Lin Tian rushed back to the Northern Courtyard, he discovered that the Northern Courtyard did not completely fall like Lin Tian had imagined. On the contrary, the entire Northern Courtyard was like a paradise, all the students were completely fine ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian had found Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er. Only now did he know that the four branch academies of the Azure Province weren''t affected in the slightest ¡­


    Lin Tian took back the grass rhizome from Ji Fang Ge''s hands. The rhizome was once again absorbed by the grass and became a part of the grass.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also went to look for Yang Qingtian.


    Naturally, Du Feng and Fang Xing were fine. Lin Tiandeng was relieved, but at the same time, he needed to explain to Yang Qingtian what had happened to them in the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    At this moment, Yang Qingtian was also discussing this matter with the teachers of the Northern Courtyard.


    After Ji Cangge came back, she reported all about it.


    Yang Qingtian did not dare to be negligent and hastily gathered all of the instructors to discuss the matter.


    Seeing that Lin Tian had returned, Yang Qingtian was also extremely shocked. Lin Tian roughly told him about the other academies'' circumstances.


    After hearing Lin Tian''s words, Yang Qingtian''s brows tightly knitted together. He couldn''t understand why the other academies would be faced with such a huge change. However, why was there nothing happening in the Azure Province Academy?


    This puzzlement was also the only question that Lin Tian did not understand ¡­ ¡­


    However, just as everyone was thinking about this matter, a warning bell suddenly sounded outside. Yang Qingtian rushed out, and Lin Tian''s eyes flashed, following closely behind Yang Qingtian as he rushed out.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that the bell of the Azure Province school would never easily ring, but once it rang out, it was a big matter.


    For example, during the Freshmen Rites ¡­


    However, there was a difference this time. The bell tolled like a warning bell.


    "Something has happened!" Lin Tian quickly rushed into the distance.


    The Azure Province Academy was divided into four branches. These four branches were all located on both sides of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Actually, they were not too far apart, but they were definitely not close.


    At this moment, the bell had already alarmed all the students of the Northern Courtyard. All the students were gathered together.


    At the same time, a terrifying roar came from outside the Northern Courtyard.


    It originated from the other three branch academies.


    However, at this moment, cracking sounds came from the previously quiet Northern Academy students.


    Not long after, a student''s body exploded and turned into a rain of blood, rushing toward the student beside him.


    At this moment, a gigantic phantom image of a blood-red river appeared on the top of the student''s head. In the next moment, his aura suddenly soared.


    However, at this moment, a vine suddenly appeared on the student''s body, sucking up all of the blood river illusions above his head. Not only that, even he himself was wrapped by the vine. In the next moment, he turned into a pile of bones.


    It was Lin Tian who had made his move. Just now Lin Tian was still suspicious, how could there be no movement from the Azure Province Academy.


    It hasn''t begun yet ¡­


    Now, from the shouts from outside and the sudden attack of the student just now, it could already be seen that the massacre at the Azure Province had come!

 C359 Sudden bad news

    However, after sensing the student''s actions, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly killed him.


    At this time, one after another, there were other students who revealed strange expressions. But without any surprise, Lin Tian acted quickly and killed them all.


    It was only when they had killed all the students of the Northern Courtyard that Lin Tian rushed towards the other three branch academies without the slightest hesitation.


    The power of the Blood Puppet was something that others couldn''t kill. Even if they wanted to kill it, they would have to pay an enormous price.


    Once the river of blood enveloped the other students, they would cause the student''s blood to flow against the current and lose his ability to fight. In this way, he would become a fish on the chopping block, allowing the blood puppet to slaughter them.


    As a result, only if Lin Tian had the grass and the power of the river of blood collapsed could he easily kill the blood puppets.


    At this moment, all of the Northern Courtyard students and teachers, and even Yang Qingtian, had yet to recover from the technique that Lin Tian had just displayed.


    What exactly was that grass that had suddenly appeared above his head just now? It could actually completely suck out a blood puppet''s blood river in an instant, and even completely absorb the blood essence within the blood puppet, turning it into a pile of white bones?


    Yang Qingtian''s face was unsettled, as if he had guessed what the grass above Lin Tian''s head was. However, all of this was too inconceivable, causing him to be in disbelief.


    However, if it wasn''t that sort of thing, then what else would have such frightening power?


    Lin Tian did not think too much and directly rushed towards the west yard.


    The west yard and the north yard were both on the side of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. The ones closest to them were also the sounds of battle that came from the west yard.


    Lin Tian''s speed reached its limit. In almost a moment, he arrived at the western courtyard.


    Although the West Branch was currently in a mess, it was not that terrifying. Seeing that Lin Tian had arrived, one Blood Puppet after another quickly took action, wanting to kill Lin Tian.


    But without any surprise, Lin Tian directly took action, completely exterminating him.


    After that, Lin Tian rushed to the East Courtyard and the South Courtyard without stopping.


    Fortunately, the East Branch and the South Branch''s losses weren''t that serious, so Lin Tian easily dealt with them.


    In this way, the danger to the Azure Province could be considered solved.


    However, at this time, Lin Tian also understood why the other four big academies suffered the slaughter of the Blood Puppet. Only the Azure Province Academy did not.


    The Azure Province Academy was divided into the East, West, North, and North, so the four great academies avoided gathering all of the students together. The four great academies each had their own independence, competing with each other, and at this moment, it was the peak period for the students of the Azure Province Academy to go out on missions. Thus, a large portion of the students were not in the academy, which also prevented the situation where the Blood Puppets would kill all of the students of the academy once they made a move.


    As a result, after the blood puppets were all taken care of by Lin Tian, when the four great academies counted the loss of students, not many students were lost. Compared to the other four great academies'' total destruction, the Azure Province Academy almost had no losses ¡­ ¡­


    At this moment, at the highest level of the Northern Courtyard''s Mission Pavilion, Lin Tian, Gu Yan''er, Ji Fangge and Chu Feng were sitting together at a meeting to discuss Blood Demon Sect''s disaster.


    "Did the dean say anything before he left?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask. He felt that Gu Qingyuan would eventually leave behind some information, because Gu Qingyuan had set his sights on the Blood Demon Sect a long time ago.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have sent his own disciples to investigate the Blood Demon Sect in the various prefectures.


    It was very obvious that Gu Qingyuan might not be able to completely guess what had happened today, but he had definitely sensed it a long time ago.


    So, the first thing Lin Tian asked was what Gu Qing Yuan told them before he left.


    He only said ten days, and only had ten days. If they still have not returned after ten days, then let us lead the rest of the students and leave Tian Luo Kingdom. "" Yes, sir. Yang Qingtian told Lin Tian what Gu Qingyuan had left for them.


    "Leave Tian Luo?" Lin Tian knit his brows. It seemed like this matter was more serious than he had imagined.


    If even a Life and Death Realm expert was unable to deal with the Blood Demon Sect, Tian Luo really could not stay any longer. Even if he wanted to stay here, he would only die.


    "Moreover, Lord Headmaster, he also left a letter for you personally ¡­" Just now, Lin Tian was busy dealing with the Blood Puppets, so he didn''t have time to care about other matters. That was why Yang Qingtian had given the letter to Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he asked in puzzlement: "For me alone?"


    "That''s right." Yang Qingtian nodded and passed Lin Tian a letter, which impressively said, "Lin Tian''s personal letter."


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly opened the letter and read the contents of the letter once.


    After reading it, Lin Tian suddenly exploded. After that, he ignored everyone and rushed out of the Northern Courtyard.


    "Lin Tian, don''t be rash!" Yang Qingtian subconsciously roared at Lin Tian, wanting to stop Lin Tian, but Lin Tian''s speed was extremely fast, how could Yang Qingtian stop him?


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already left. Only the letter was left on the table with a slap from Lin Tian.


    The entire table was now completely cracked. From this, it could be seen how angry Lin Tian had been just now after reading this letter.


    Everyone immediately picked up the letter. The letter only said one thing.


    "Your master Xiao Yunhai is already dead. Upon seeing the letter, listen to Principal Yang Qingtian''s arrangements, and quickly leave Tian Luo Kingdom!"


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." Everyone had a gloomy expression on their faces.


    Yang Qingtian helplessly sighed: "No wonder that brat was so impulsive. It turns out that Yunhai has already fallen ¡­"


    "The king and the five chairmen are not here right now. Should we go now?" Zhang Wuya could not help but ask.


    "The Royal Academy, the Sword Inquisition Academy, the Tiger Wolf Camp, and the Misty Academy have all been massacred and no one is left alive. We, the Qing Province still have a portion of the students, in my opinion, we should leave Tian Luo as soon as possible ¡­" Zhou Tian Xing also sighed. Just now, he had heard from Yang Qing Tian that the other four academies had been annihilated.


    "Right now, there are only three days until the ten-day deadline. Wait a little longer ¡­" Right now, the whereabouts of the king and his men were still unknown, so leaving without a reason might not be the best plan.


    The four chairmen looked at each other, unable to catch their breath. Blood Demon Sect was too terrifying!

 C360 Cocoon stripping

    Lin Tian currently had no other thoughts. He only had one thought, and that was to be fast!


    Xiao Yunhai had died.


    Although Lin Tian had a premonition and was prepared in his heart, once he found out about this news, he felt somewhat sorrowful. However, most of it was anger!


    He was the closest, most beloved, and most akin to his father''s master, yet now he was dead!


    Lin Tian felt a terrifying flame grill him in his heart, causing an impulsive feeling to arise in his heart.


    Kill.


    KILL


    In Lin Tian''s heart, there was only one thought, which was to kill until the flames of anger in his heart were extinguished. Only then could Lin Tian feel a bit better.


    However, Lin Tian still forcefully suppressed his anger and killed. When he saw the group of animals from the Blood Demon Sect, he would kill them.


    But right now, what Lin Tian needed the most was reason.


    The letter Gu Qingyuan left him only mentioned the news of his Master''s death. At the same time, he also mentioned an extremely crucial piece of news.


    They wanted Lin Tian to escape together with Yang Qingtian and the remaining students of the Azure Province Academy.


    What did this mean? What did this mean?


    This could only mean one thing. Gu Qingyuan didn''t have complete confidence in facing those people from the Blood Demon Sect.


    In fact, even if he, the four great reverends, and the king were to join forces and face the experts of the Blood Demon Sect, he still wouldn''t have absolute confidence.


    One had to know that even the six top-notch experts of Tian Luo Country did not have the confidence to accomplish this. Just how powerful was Blood Demon Sect?


    In his heart, Lin Tian felt that it was probably not only Gu Qingyuan who had set a ten-day date for the Azure Province Academy. It was very possible that the heads of the other academies had their own intentions with them, so if they successfully return ten days later, naturally, they would be overjoyed. This proved that the Blood Demon Sect''s calamity had already been completely resolved by them, but if they did not return in ten days, then everything would be made clear without saying.


    They would never be able to return. In this way, only by letting the students of the five academies leave Tian Luo would they be able to survive this calamity, and then, they could seek to restore their country.


    However, the Blood Demon Sect was flourishing right now, and virtually no one could shake it. If the six of them were to fail, Tian Luo really wouldn''t be far from being able to wipe out the entire country.


    Thus, in Gu Qingyuan''s letter, Gu Qingyuan also told Lin Tian to leave with the crowd.


    But how could Lin Tian leave? The people of the Blood Demon Sect had killed his master, so how could Lin Tian not take revenge.


    Of course, Lin Tian did not have the courage to act recklessly. He had Little Grass, a great killing tool, and it was impossible for him to fear the Blood Demon Sect''s methods.


    Furthermore, he had investigated the cause of his master''s death.


    Gu Qingyuan did not explain Xiao Yunhai''s death within the letter. Of course, he also did not tell Lin Tian anything about the Blood Demon Sect.


    But Lin Tian had also gotten some clues after a long time.


    Before leaving the Sky Dragon Academy, Lin Tian had once asked Xiao Yunhai. Xiao Yunhai had also said that he had met the Holy Maiden of the Blood Demon Sect, who was also Lin Tian''s mistress, in Heavenly Star City.


    Moreover, at that time, Lin Tian''s mistress was already pregnant.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian once again thought of the time when he had killed the Bone Flute Young Master Song Qingyu. He had specifically asked about the Blood Demon Sect''s Holy Maiden.


    However, what Song Qingyu had said was that the current Holy Maiden of the Blood Demon Sect was not Lin Tian''s mistress. Instead, she was just a young child.


    At that time, Lin Tian guessed that it was the previous Holy Maiden. Song Qingyu had said that the previous Holy Maiden had violated the rules of the Blood Demon Sect and had been imprisoned until now.


    Thinking about it this way, some things could finally be matched up.


    That master''s wife must have been imprisoned by the Blood Demon Sect because she was pregnant. His master had also decided to look for her to confirm whether or not she had any flesh and blood of her own.


    It had already been almost a year. Most likely, his own master had already found that mistress, but for various reasons, he was killed by the Blood Demon Sect.


    Then, things could be linked together.


    Xiao Yunhai was probably secretly gathering information about the Blood Demon Sect and sending a letter to Gu Qingyuan while searching for the Mistress.


    Lin Tian knew that because of that teacher''s wife, Xiao Yunhai had abandoned his master and betrayed Gu Qingyuan. But in the end, perhaps his master had always been deeply in debt, so he wanted to secretly investigate the Blood Demon Sect and give Gu Qingyuan information to make up for the debt he owed back then.


    Presumably, this was something that Xiao Yunhai had already decided in his heart back then.


    At this moment, Lin Tian recalled the time when Xiao Yunhai had told him about the past and his heart also ached. At that time, he hadn''t cared about it; if he had been able to sense the uneasiness in Xiao Yunhai''s tone, he might have persuaded him to stay.


    Now that he thought about it, the reason Xiao Yunhai had said those words back then, was probably because he had already made up his mind to die long ago.


    When he thought of this, Lin Tian became even more furious. He wanted nothing more than to charge into Blood Demon Sect and slaughter all of their demonic cultivators and blood puppets. Only then would he feel better.


    However, Lin Tian was not sure where the Blood Demon Sect was currently.


    But now, the only place he could go, and the place where all his doubts eventually converged, was Heavenly Star City!


    Desolate Province, Heavenly Star City!


    The Desolate Province was the only grassland in the Tian Luo Country. It was located in the extreme north of the country.


    There were no decent towns here as it was a wasteland, and it was also one of the prefectures of Tian Luo Kingdom.


    There were very few people living in the Desolate Province, and most of them were tribes.


    Heavenly Star City was the capital of the Wasteland. It was also the only big city in the Wasteland. It was the only way for the tribes of the Wasteland to get in touch with the outside world.


    It was also the most prosperous city in the wasteland.


    This was also the city where his master Xiao Yunhai had met his master and mistress. It was also where the Blood Demon Sect had once stood.


    Lin Tian only knew of this kind of Heavenly Star City. Of course, the Desolate Province was also almost within Tian Luo Country, it was the most suitable place for the Blood Demon Sect to hide.


    There was no other reason, and that was because this place was desolate. There was no one controlling it, and very few experts had come here.


    If the Blood Demon Sect really did set up a stronghold somewhere in the Desolate Province, no one would know that the desert on the prairie would be the most frightening natural barrier of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Lin Tian thought of this and immediately rushed out of the Desolate Province without any hesitation.


    The God Transforming Steps had been displayed to the extreme by Lin Tian. The unending stream of spirit energy supported the consumption of the God Transforming Steps, causing Lin Tian''s speed to almost be faster than even the Qilin Horse that travelled thousands of miles in a day ¡­

 C361 Barren city heavenly star city

    On the eighth day.


    Since the eighth day of Gu Qingyuan''s Promise of Ten Days, Lin Tian had finally arrived at Heavenly Star City.


    The Heavenly Star City was no longer bustling with life as it had been before. Now, it had become the final barrier and fort.


    In the Heavenly Star City, there were only the countless armies and the royal family ministers hiding in the Tian Luo Royal Family. Of course, there were also some elders and Supreme Elders from the Five Great Academies.


    When Lin Tian arrived, he was stopped by the Heavenly Star City guards. Lin Tian took out his identity plate and revealed his identity. However, he was still not allowed to enter.


    Lin Tian didn''t waste any more words and continued to crush his way over.


    It wasn''t until it had attracted everyone''s attention that it was brought before the king.


    That''s right, both the king and the principal of the Five Great Academies were currently in the Heavenly Star City.


    Lin Tian''s guess wasn''t wrong. The Blood Demon Sect really was within the Desolate Province. This was within Lin Tian''s expectations.


    Lin Tian also saw Gu Qingyuan.


    When Gu Qingyuan saw Lin Tian arriving, he lightly sighed, but didn''t say anything.


    Lin Tian still got the news of his master from the king.


    It turned out that a few days ago, Gu Qingyuan suddenly received a blood letter from Xiao Yunhai. It said that the Blood Demon Sect''s secret plan had been completed, and they were about to send troops to the Tian Luo Kingdom to sacrifice the entire Tian Luo Kingdom''s blood. At the same time, it also said that he wouldn''t be able to live much longer ¡­


    Upon hearing this news, the king couldn''t sit still any longer. Without any hesitation, he led the five academies'' headmasters and the rest of the students to Sky Star City.


    If the Blood Demon Sect wanted to attack Tian Luo, they would have to pass through the Heavenly Star City.


    If that was the case, they would definitely be able to guard this place until the Blood Demon Sect.


    As expected, Blood Demon Sect launched an attack the next day. The Heaven''s Net Corps suffered heavy losses.


    However, Blood Demon Sect only sent out a portion of their Blood Puppet. They didn''t send out any of their elites.


    On the third day, without a choice, the six great Life and Death Realm experts attacked. Only then did they behead the Blood Demon Sect''s large number of Blood Puppets.


    And then, he had endured until now.


    Lin Tian patiently listened to the king''s words. Only then did he grasp the main point.


    Perhaps his own master, Xiao Yunhai, was still alive!


    Because the blood book said that Xiao Yunhai was only going to die soon, it seemed that the Blood Demon Sect didn''t directly kill Xiao Yunhai, but no one knew what exactly happened.


    He wanted to directly tell Lin Tian that Xiao Yunhai had died and tell Lin Tian to stop thinking about finding Xiao Yunhai. From then on, he would let Lin Tian obediently follow the crowd and leave Tian Luo Country.


    But how could Lin Tian be a person who was afraid of death? If that was really the case, then Lin Tian''s heart of martial arts would not be pure and sooner or later he would have an inner demon.


    And when Lin Tian came, he told everyone about the situation of Tian Luo''s Five Great Academies.


    This was a fact that they would know sooner or later. It would be better to say it out loud first so that they would be mentally prepared.


    "What!?"


    "Are you telling the truth?"


    "Did you really see it with your own eyes?"


    The few chairmen all spoke, as they stared at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian nodded his head. Afterwards, he told them about his battle with Yan Wuhen in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm. From the moment he returned to Tian Luo, he also told them about the situation of the five academies.


    Wang Zhan, Su Qiushui, Luo Tiannan, Jian Chi, and even the king Luo Tianyi all had deathly pale faces. Their lips quivered as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, not a single word came out.


    "Tian Luo, it''s over ¡­" Luo Tianyi''s heart was filled with grief. The Five Great Academies, the geniuses of the four great academies, had all been killed. How many years would it take for Tian Luo to recover?


    He probably wouldn''t even be able to hold on in the upcoming Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms.


    No, even the calamity of the Blood Demon Sect cannot be overcome ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t waste any time and directly said to the crowd: "King, Headmasters and Elders, please calm down. The internal calamity of Tian Luo Country has already been quelled by me, and next, I still need to gather my strength. If this Blood Demon Sect really breaks through Heavenly Star City, then, when that time comes, my Tian Luo will truly be a disaster ¡­"


    The king nodded, but he could not hide the disappointment on his face. Tian Luo Kingdom had been here for a thousand years.


    Lin Tian also knew that they wouldn''t be able to recover in a short period of time. He didn''t say anything more and directly pulled Gu Qing Yuan to the side.


    Gu Qing Yuan''s face had a puzzled expression as he looked at Lin Tian. He did not understand what Lin Tian meant.


    "Martial Ancestor, as matters stand, I have nothing else to say. Please give me the map of the Blood Demon Sect ¡­" Lin Tian didn''t waste any words and directly said. He wanted to head towards the Blood Demon Sect''s map.


    Now, even if the Blood Demon Sect was Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, they would still have to make a breakthrough.


    He did not want Uncle Yu''s miserable situation to happen again that day.


    This time, he wanted to take his destiny into his own hands.


    He didn''t want Xiao Yunhai to die, so Xiao Yunhai definitely wouldn''t die!


    Seeing that Lin Tian''s eyes were only calm and not crazy, Gu Qingyuan slightly frowned: "I do have a map of the Blood Devil Sect, but I want to ask you a question. Are you going to throw your life away?"


    "Martial Ancestor, do you think that I, am someone who would rather die?" Lin Tian''s tone was calm as he asked Gu Qing Yuan.


    Gu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "No, it''s still not enough. Unless you can come up with a reason to convince me ¡­"


    "I won''t be affected by the Blood River of Blood Devil Sect!" Lin Tian Shi said in an earth-shattering manner, then continued: "Moreover, I can easily kill any Blood Demon Sect member and Blood Puppet!"


    "How?" Gu Qingyuan stared at Lin Tian with a burning gaze.


    "One try and you''ll know." Lin Tian smiled slightly and then pulled Gu Qing Yuan to the top of the city walls of Heavenly Star City.


    At this moment, below Heavenly Star City, there was an extremely large group of Blood Puppets.


    The Blood Puppet was no longer human, but it still had a trace of human will.


    The Blood Demon Sect used its Gu and blood essence to turn people into blood puppets, and then used secret techniques to control them. This was the Blood Demon Sect''s method of attack. Blood Puppet was the Blood Demon Sect''s puppet army, and was, of course, the main force of the Blood Demon Sect''s attack.


    Moreover, at critical moments, blood puppets could be sacrificed.


    Humans were different from Blood Puppets. Naturally, Blood Demon Sect had people. For example, Yan Wuhen was a human. However, the martial art he cultivated was a demonic martial art from the Blood Demon Sect.


    However, those being controlled by Yan Wuhen were all Blood Puppets.


    However, regardless of whether it was the blood puppet or the people, their attacks were all very terrifying. They could gather the power of the blood river and use it to influence their opponents, causing their blood flow to reverse.


    This was the reason why the king had brought the Heavenly Luo Guards to suffer such heavy losses on the first day.


    The reason why the king and his men weren''t affected by the Blood Puppet''s attack was because their strength far surpassed it, so they weren''t affected by it.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian actually said that he was not affected by the Blood Puppet, this caused Gu Qingyuan to be a little shocked ¡­

 C362 The kings hope

    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly jumped down, landing below the city wall.


    "Patriarch, you just watch and see." With that, Lin Tian rushed into the Blood Puppet.


    When the blood puppet smelled someone''s scent, it would become especially excited.


    When he smelled Lin Tian''s aura, in the blink of an eye, without waiting for Lin Tian to rush over, countless blood puppets madly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Not long after, countless Blood Puppets completely wrapped Lin Tian up.


    Being surrounded by so many blood puppets, Lin Tian did not move at all. In fact, he also had no intention of making a move.


    "What is this stinking brat doing?" Just at this moment, the king, Luo Tianyi, and a few others also arrived at the top of the city walls. When they saw that Lin Tian was actually beneath the city walls and was even surrounded by the blood puppet layers, the king immediately shouted at Gu Qing Yuan: "You''re crazy! You actually let this kid off!"


    Gu Qingyuan didn''t reply. Su Qiu Shui, Wang Zhan, and the others also looked at the audience with doubtful expressions.


    A moment later, Gu Qingyuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "He''s waiting ¡­"


    "Hmm?" The king immediately asked, "Wait for what?"


    "I have to wait for a chance to make a move!" He already knew Lin Tian''s thoughts. Lin Tian wanted to attract even more Blood Puppets over and then kill them all in one go.


    Gu Qingyuan had also seen it. Lin Tian didn''t seem to be affected by the blood river in the slightest.


    Around Lin Tian, there were at least fifty people. However, these fifty or so blood rivers were all hanging above Lin Tian''s head. However, Lin Tian was not affected in the slightest.


    This already proved what Lin Tian said just now, that he really wouldn''t be affected by the blood river.


    Before he finished speaking, Lin Tian had already made his move.


    "An afterimage!" The dragon scale spear in Lin Tian''s hand suddenly swung out at this moment. In the next moment, a huge spear shadow instantly turned into several hundred spear shadows. After which, they all rushed at the Blood Puppets.


    One by one, the blood puppets fell. At this moment, the grass in the Divine Manor suddenly attacked and sucked all the blood puppets dry.


    But at the same time, the other Blood Puppets fiercely pounced at Lin Tian and once again wrapped themselves around Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s spear sent the Blood Puppet blocking the way back to the city wall.


    "This ¡­" The eyes of the few people on the city wall suddenly shrunk. They looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. This boy seemed to be unaffected by the blood river. Facing so many blood puppets, he could still easily kill them and return.


    One must know that these Life and Death Realm experts, when facing the blood river, had to be extremely cautious ¡­


    This was because Lin Tian had used the power of the grass after killing the Blood Puppets. After that, the countless Blood Puppets came again and blocked everyone''s line of sight. As a result, no one saw Lin Tian use the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    He did not want to expose the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine too early. It had to be known that a man''s wealth was his own fault, and having the secret of a monster like the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine was better known by less people.


    "Grandteacher, it''s time to fulfill your promise!" Just at this moment, Lin Tian was already standing under the city walls, staring fixedly at Gu Qingyuan.


    This time, Gu Qingyuan didn''t hesitate anymore. He waved his hand and threw out a bloody cloth: "Everything you want is on there, but, promise me, you must live ¡­"


    Gu Qingyuan knew Lin Tian''s temperament. Although he was a bit worried, he still gave the Blood Demon Sect''s map to Lin Tian.


    So, he only made one request to Lin Tian, and that was for Lin Tian to come back alive.


    "Rest assured, Martial Ancestor. This time, I will bring my master back with me!" Lin Tian''s tone was incomparably firm. In the next moment, he didn''t hesitate and flew out, disappearing from in front of everyone''s eyes.


    "Qing Yuan, you gave him that map?" At this moment, the king felt that something was amiss.


    Seeing Gu Qingyuan nod, the king immediately roared out in rage, "Gu Qingyuan, have you gone mad? This kid is our only fire spark and hope. You actually gave him a map and wanted him to die in the Blood Demon Sect!"


    "Your Majesty, please calm your anger ¡­" Gu Qingyuan was silent for a moment before speaking, "I believe the king understands this kid''s temperament. Whether or not you give him a map, he will go. If that''s the case, why stop him? Furthermore, I believe he ¡­"


    Believe him, I also trust him, so I am prepared to let him participate in the battle for a thousand countries. But if I were to be destroyed by the Blood Demon Sect this time, I will give the order to pass on the throne to him, and as long as he is able to stay alive and focus on cultivation, ten years, twenty years, sooner or later, I will have hope that I will be able to restore the country to its former glory. This is the only thing I want to keep alive, and I do not want him to die in the hands of the Blood Demon Sect! Right now, Lin Tian was his only hope because the potential that Lin Tian had was something that all the other students, even his son, did not have.


    Even if Tian Luo died soon enough, he would still die, but Luo Tian Yi still had hope in his heart, and also had hope in his heart. But now, if Lin Tian went to the Blood Demon Sect and died there, Tian Luo would really die ¡­


    Gu Qingyuan didn''t explain any further. Instead, he jumped down from the city gate tower and threw a palm towards the Blood Puppet. Dozens of Blood Puppets immediately fell to the ground, dead.


    When the other chairmen saw Luo Tianyi''s furious expression, no one dared to say anything. They too descended from the city gate tower and started to crazily kill the countless blood puppets.


    "Wangyou Village..." Lin Tian muttered to himself. He had already skimmed through the map. The Blood Demon Sect''s stronghold was located in the Wangzhou Wangyou Village.


    Along the way, Lin Tian also saw many Blood Puppet spies, but they were all easily killed by him. On the way there, there weren''t any stops, so Lin Tian directly came to that so-called Worry Free Land.


    The depths of Wangyou Village was actually an oasis. In the depths of Wasteland City, there was a boundless desert, and in such a harsh environment, only the oasis could survive.


    Most of the tribes in the Desolate Province were founded by the oasis.


    At this time, as they approached Wangyou Village, the number of Blood Puppets increased.


    In the Happy Village, almost no houses or other buildings could be seen, only tents. As he neared, Lin Tian could already smell that the air here seemed to be emitting a terrifying stench of blood.


    At this moment, the grass in his soul also became more and more violent.


    Desire. Lin Tian, who could almost telepathically communicate with Little Grass, immediately felt Little Grass''s thoughts, her thirst for blood ¡­


    "Little thing, be more honest. There will be plenty of your food later ¡­" Lin Tian faintly smiled. Then, his gaze looked towards those countless tents. The smile on his face froze: "This time, come with me and kill every single one of us here ¡­ ¡­"

 C363 Blood devil palace

    According to the map that Xiao Yunhai had provided, this Wangyou Village was actually the Blood Demon Sect''s headquarters.


    Originally, this should have been a tribe, but now, all of the people in this tribe had been massacred by Blood Demon Sect.


    It had become the territory of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Lin Tian kept on sneaking along while restraining his own aura. Later on, he arrived at one of the tents. Along the way, whenever he met the Blood Puppet, Lin Tian would directly kill it without holding back.


    Lin Tian entered one of the tents, only to discover that within the tent, there were countless of corpses. There were no living people.


    These corpses were all hung up, but a black mark could clearly be seen on their foreheads.


    "Feeding Gu between his eyebrows!" Lin Tian suddenly reacted. If his guess was correct, this should be the place to refine the Blood Puppet.


    Above the corpses was an incomparably large blood bag.


    At this moment, the bag of blood was overflowing with blood, each drop landing on the corpse.


    Not bad, this is where the Blood Demon Sect refined the Blood Puppet.


    Once these corpses absorbed enough blood and completely reared the Gu worms from between their brows, they would turn into a Blood Puppet.


    After Lin Tian came to the tent, he finally knew the steps to refine the Blood Puppet.


    However, the body that was used to refine the Blood Puppet was actually a lifeless corpse, and was not a real living person.


    Since he had seen it, there was no way he could let it go. The grass on top of Lin Tian''s soul moved, and in the next moment, vines came out from Lin Tian''s soul, and directly pierced through the huge bag of blood. In the blink of an eye, all of the blood in the bag was sucked dry.


    Without the support of the blood, the Gu worm on his forehead started to devour the corpses in an instant.


    Corpses were quickly devoured by the Gu worms, and not long after, they directly turned into dense white bones.


    At this moment, without the support of the corpse''s flesh and blood, the Gu worms actually swarmed over, as if they wanted to directly devour Lin Tian.


    "Humph!" Lin Tian coldly snorted and the grass moved again. In the blink of an eye, thousands of vines charged at the Gu and completely wiped out the Gu worms.


    Not long after, there were only piles of bones left in the tent. The others were all unconvinced of their existence.


    Lin Tian followed suit and in the blink of an eye, destroyed all the Blood Puppet corpses inside the tents.


    Each tent had hundreds of corpses. From this, it could be seen how many blood puppets there were. This could also explain why there were countless blood puppets surrounding Heavenly Star City.


    However, now that Lin Tian had killed all of the Blood Puppet corpses that he had yet to successfully refine, he had unknowingly helped Heavenly Star City overcome the crisis. When Gu Qing Yuan and the king had killed all the Blood Puppets that were surrounding Heavenly Star City, he would be able to come here to support him.


    After all, Lin Tian had cut off the rest of the Blood Puppet army.


    However, there were only a hundred tents and a few other blood puppets in Happy Town. However, not a single person was to be seen.


    Logically speaking, this shouldn''t be the case. After all, Xiao Yunhai''s map already stated that the Blood Demon Sect headquarters was in Wangyou Village. However, how could they not see a single person?


    "Kid, there''s something underground!" Just at this time, Lin Tian''s right hand suddenly throbbed.


    The next moment, a voice suddenly rang out.


    "Celestial rat?" Lin Tian Deng immediately recognized the speaker.


    This was the prehistoric mutated rat that he brought out from the Heaven''s Net Secret Realm.


    Since the Celestial Mouse had the Heaven''s Eyes, it could basically ignore all obstructions and see what was underneath the ground.


    At this moment, the Celestial Mouse suddenly opened its mouth. It must have found something underground.


    "What''s down there?" Lin Tian directly asked.


    "It''s a palace!" At this time, the Celestial Mouse had jumped out from Lin Tian''s right hand. At this moment, its forehead had split open and a golden eyeball had appeared. It was searching for something underground.


    Indeed, it was a huge palace.


    Lin Tian''s eyes carried a bit of astonishment as he asked: "Is there an entrance?"


    "Yes!" The Celestial Mouse observed for a moment, before pointing towards a tent in the northwest direction. He said, "The entrance to the palace is under that tent ¡­"


    "Let''s go!" Lin Tian didn''t have any time to think and directly pulled the Celestial Mouse all the way into the tent.


    Lin Tian had come to this tent before and had already killed all the blood puppets inside.


    Currently the entire tent was empty. Lin Tian followed the directions of the Heavenly Mouse and pierced the ground with his spear. The ground suddenly emitted a rumbling sound and before long, the floor cracked and caved in, revealing a black hole.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and leaped into the cave entrance.


    At the same time, the huge underground palace was currently brightly lit.


    There was nothing else in that palace hall. There were only countless people.


    These people were all wearing black robes and were standing in the middle of the palace, chanting something.


    On top of the palace, there was a girl around seven or eight years old, sitting on a throne.


    On the throne, there was an old woman with a jet-black complexion.


    That old woman was like a lamp that had run out of oil. Just by looking at her, no one could tell how old she was.


    Her entire body was made of skin and bones. Her hair was a bewitching red, like crimson blood. It was extremely terrifying.


    Her face was full of wrinkles, like the rings on an old tree. They covered her face layer by layer, and now, under the light of the lanterns, they were flickering, giving her an indescribably cold and terrifying look.


    Above the old woman, there was actually a terrifying head.


    The head looked as if it had just been chopped off, and blood kept seeping out of it.


    The owner of the head was obviously not a human, but more like a demon beast. Its blood was also not red like the blood of a human, but was a terrifying green.


    Green fresh blood fell from the sky and landed on the old woman''s body. In the blink of an eye, the old woman looked as if she had a new spring, and under the nourishment of the green blood, her appearance quickly recovered.


    Before long, from a haggard old woman to an incomparably charming and beautiful woman, and finally, to a young girl over the age of 28.


    Seeing such a drastic change, the people below the stage were not the least bit surprised. Instead, they shouted loudly: "We wish the High Priest great success in his Divine Arts. My Glory Sect will sweep through the Western Spiritual Region, flatten the Zhen Wu Jie and restore our sect''s supreme glory!"

 C364 A pair of invisible eyes

    The woman who had changed from an old woman to a young girl now smiled sweetly and said, "I''ve mastered my divine arts. Everyone, please enjoy the rain and dew together!"


    After saying that, the woman gently lifted her hand. In the next moment, an incomparably large black rain that was like the rain from heaven and earth floated in the air. It was completely absorbed by the black cloaked people below.


    "Many thanks to the High Priest for the rain and dew. The Patriarch has blessed our Glory Sect for countless years, the High Priest with invincible divine arts, and the Holy Maiden with the fastest speed of growth!"


    Immediately afterwards, the man in black kneeled down and performed a five-body salute, shouting out the same slogan.


    "No need for formalities." The High Priest nodded slightly, then no longer said anything.


    The black-robed men suddenly sat down in the lotus position and began to absorb the black rain.


    At this moment, the seven to eight year old girl blinked a few times. She raised her head to look up and said, "Sister Priestess, you have changed back to your previous appearance ¡­"


    "I thank the Holy Maiden for her concern." The High Priest replied, "Holy Maiden, have you been working hard recently?"


    "I worked hard. Now, I can cast the power of the Supreme Spell Sacrifice ¡­" The little girl lightly blinked her eyes as she spoke.


    "That''s great! Holy Maiden, this time, our Glory Sect has been able to complete our long-cherished wish and return to our former glory. It is all because of you ¡­" As the High Priest spoke, he gently lifted his leg, and in the next moment, he was in front of the Holy Maiden.


    However, the High Priest''s leg was actually not a human leg, but ¡­ a tree vine.


    Indeed, when the High Priest had left his previous position, an extremely terrifying vine had emerged from that place. That vine was the High Priest''s leg.


    At this moment, the High Priest walked in front of the young girl and gently stroked her head. Then, he gently caressed her head, and then, seemingly giving an order, he turned to the young girl and said, "Holy Maiden, the glory of our Glory Sect will flourish in the hands of our generation. I hope that the Holy Maiden can help our sect."


    A complicated look flashed across the girl''s eyes, but she immediately said, "I will do my best to help the Glory Sect. I won''t regret even if I die ¡­"


    "With a promise from the Holy Maiden, I am relieved ¡­" The High Priest seemed to have gotten what he wanted and stopped talking. Instead, he returned to the high platform.


    After a long silence, the black-robed men finally stood up and said, "Thank you, High Priest."


    The High Priest bowed and then asked as he looked at the crowd below, "How is the plan going?"


    "Reporting to the High Priest." A black robed man stood out from the crowd. Although he was also wearing a black robe, his neck was wrapped in a red thread. This was a clear indication of the difference in status between him and other people.


    High Priest, the plan is completely under control. The Law Enforcement Emissary Yan Wuhen has completely corroded the fifty most outstanding students of the Five Great Academies and has completely controlled them, counting the days, he should be back soon, and the chess piece that our Glory Sect has planted in the Five Great Academies is now completely mobilized. According to the information sent over, the five great academies, other than the Qing Province Academy, the Sword Inquisition, the Misty Academy, and even Tian Luo''s strongest Royal Academy and the Tiger Wolf Battalion have all been captured by us. The black-robed man spoke clearly, explaining the situation of the five academies one by one.


    "Hmm?" The High Priest slightly frowned and then coldly said, "If I''m not mistaken, the only exception is the Azure Province School. What is the situation there?"


    High Priest, the Azure Province is a branch school, it has four branches. The students are not gathered together, moreover, the Azure Province is located in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. There are many students that go out on missions, so there isn''t a good opportunity ¡­ That person immediately explained, "So, the Qingzhou School chess pieces originally wanted to wait for Yan Wuhen to return before making a move, but I have already ordered them to make a move. The results should be coming in the next two days ¡­"


    After listening to the explanation, the High Priest''s expression eased a little. He then asked, "How is Heavenly Star City?"


    This time, the black robed person retreated, and another black robed person stood out.


    A red line hung around the man''s neck. It was clear that the man had quite a high status in the Blood Demon Sect.


    He cupped his hands together slightly, and said: "We have already raised over ten thousand Blood Puppets above the Happy Town, and with the ten thousand Blood Puppets surrounding the Heavenly Star City, right now we have thirty thousand Blood Puppet armies, and adding the ones currently in the Sacred Palace, it is more than enough to take down Heavenly Star City. However, we are still waiting for news from Lord Yan Wuhen, once Lord Enforcer leads the Blood Puppets of the five academies, the destruction of Heavenly Star City is only a matter of time ¡­"


    "Yes, there are indeed quite a few thirty thousand Blood Puppets." The High Priest sighed. "Back then, when our Glory Sect was being suppressed by a group of honorable hypocrites from Zhen Wu Jie, there were almost no more than a single person. Who would have thought that now, it is flourishing once again!"


    "High Priest." Right at this moment, a black-robed man stood out and asked: "How should we deal with that Xiao Yunhai that we captured previously as well as the previous Holy Maiden?"


    "The previous Holy Maiden?" The High Priest coldly berated, "How many times have I told you? He is a traitor and not worthy to be my Saint Daughter!"


    The high priest''s cold voice spread throughout the hall, and the surrounding temperature dropped by several tens of degrees.


    The black-robed man knew that he had spoken incorrectly. Now that he felt the High Priest''s anger, he did not know what to do. He quickly knelt down and said, "This subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate deserves to die ¡­"


    "Only this once. If there is a next time, I will personally refine you into a Blood Puppet ¡­" The High Priest suddenly said, "The others are the same!"


    Everyone immediately became silent and didn''t dare to say anything.


    After a moment, the High Priest''s anger faded. Without the slightest hesitation, he said: "Leave that little bitch here first. Xiao Yunhai, kill her!"


    "Yes sir!" The man in black didn''t dare to hesitate and immediately left in a hurry.


    "One day, I will only wait for one day. Tomorrow night, I will have that Yan Wuhen return to the Glory Sect to meet me. If he does not see Yan Wuhen, tell him that I will personally drain his blood essence!" The High Priest said to the black-robed man in charge of the Five Great Academies.


    "Yes sir!"


    "Go down, tomorrow will be a day of rest. The day after tomorrow, all members of the Glory Sect will set out and attack Heavenly Star City. This time, I want the entire nation''s blood sacrifice to use Tian Luo as a springboard to attack the Ling Xiao Sect!" The High Priest said to everyone once again.


    "Yes sir!" Everyone nodded their heads and left in a hurry ¡­


    But after everyone had left, the High Priest felt that something was wrong. In her subconscious, she felt that there was a pair of eyes somewhere, looking at all of them ¡­

 C365 Goodbye to xiao yunhai

    The invisible pair of eyes that the High Priest had felt came from Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian had already arrived at the great hall early on. With the Celestial Mouse guiding him, Lin Tian didn''t even need to look at the complicated map before arriving at the great hall quite easily.


    Thus, Lin Tian had seen everything that happened just now. Of course, he had also heard it.


    As expected, Lin Tian did not expect it and everything made him guess.


    As expected, Blood Demon Sect''s tactics worked from the inside.


    Back then in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, when Lin Tian heard everyone call Yan Wuhen the Enforcer, he knew that Yan Wuhen''s position in the sect was definitely not low.


    Now it seemed like it was true. Moreover, Yan Wuhen had previously mentioned that the Five Great Academies were filled with chess pieces.


    This was the ultimate plan of the Blood Demon Sect.


    Taking advantage of the fact that Lin Tian and the others had entered the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, they first pretended to activate the blood puppet to attack Heavenly Star City.


    The Blood Demon Sect was a taboo to begin with, so once they showed their faces, the king and the principals of the five academies would naturally not just stand by and watch. With the king giving the First Prince control of the imperial court, he would bring the heads of the five academies to defend Heavenly Star City.


    However, neither the king nor the principal of the Five Great Academies had expected that the Blood Demon Sect would have placed pawns among the Five Great Academies in anticipation of this day.


    In the end, this matter still had to do with his master. His master had somehow been taken advantage of by the Blood Demon Sect.


    Judging from the High Priest''s tone just now, his master had probably been captured long ago ¡­


    Then, the king and the five chairmen of the five academies would leave in such a hurry. There wouldn''t even be a need to think about it. The only thing left would be his master''s blood letter ¡­


    This was also why when Lin Tian came to Heavenly Star City, he discovered that there were so many Blood Puppets outside the city walls. However, they only surrounded the Heavenly Star City and did not have any intention of attacking it.


    They were waiting for Yan Wuhen. They thought that he would return alive and kill all the students and instructors in the five academies. Then, they would refine them into a Blood Puppet and rush to Heavenly Star City to work with them ¡­


    It was a pity that everything was destroyed by Lin Tian.


    Not only had Lin Tian killed Yan Wuhen, he had also killed all of the Blood Puppets from the Five Great Academies. In order to prevent the Blood Puppet from reviving, Lin Tian had practically killed all of them.


    Not only that, when Lin Tian had hurried over, he had also killed the Blood Puppets that the Blood Demon Sect used to send messages along the way.


    After arriving at the Worryfree Village, he had even slaughtered all the blood puppet corpses that he had not yet successfully reared.


    More than half of Blood Demon Sect''s plans had been ruined by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate as he completely restrained the aura on his body. From the Ancient Dragon Symbol, a burst of brilliance came out and the radiance flickered for a split-second, completely eliminating Lin Tian''s aura. If he had not personally seen Lin Tian and had used his perception and soul power to investigate, he would not have been able to detect Lin Tian''s existence.


    This was also the reason why the High Priest only had a premonition, but was completely unable to detect Lin Tian''s existence.


    After the black-cloaked men left, they all went to different places.


    However, Lin Tian''s gaze was still fixated on the black cloaked man who had previously asked the High Priest how he should deal with Xiao Yunhai and the previous Holy Maiden.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that the key to saving his master was this black-cloaked man.


    So, after saying goodbye to the black-cloaked people and left, Lin Tian stared at him without blinking, wanting to see where he was going.


    Lin Tian, who had restrained his aura, seemed to not have been noticed by anyone. Even the black-cloaked person who was being followed didn''t feel that someone was following him at all.


    The black robed man turned and turned. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at a palace at the back of the large hall.


    Of course, this palace couldn''t be considered a palace, but it was more like a dungeon.


    There were guards guarding the dungeon. The black cloaked man took out a token from his robes and it lit up in front of the two guards. The two guards did not stop them and allowed the black cloaked man into the dungeon.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also did not hesitate and directly followed.


    The grass above the two guards didn''t even have time to scream before the grass completely sucked all of their blood and turned them into a pile of bones.


    He entered the dungeon without any obstruction.


    The dungeon was dark and humid, but it was empty. There was almost no one there.


    There were only two people. One was his master Xiao Yunhai, while the other was a beautiful woman. That beautiful woman was extremely flirtatious, but her face was completely devoid of color.


    The instant Lin Tian saw Xiao Yunhai, he couldn''t hide the excitement in his heart. Without any hesitation, Lin Tian directly used the God Transforming Steps. The small grass waited for an opportunity to move, and in the blink of an eye, it killed the black-cloaked person.


    "Who is it!" At this time, Xiao Yunhai detected movement and abruptly raised his head.


    But just as he raised his head, he saw Lin Tian.


    Xiao Yunhai was slightly startled, then looked at Lin Tian in disbelief, and said with a trembling voice: "Tian''er, is it really you?"


    To Lin Tian, this'' Tian''er ''was truly a voice that he hadn''t heard in a long time.


    Lin Tian''s heart ached. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Master, your disciple is unfilial and caused you to suffer ¡­"


    Hearing the conversation between Lin Tian and Xiao Yunhai, the beautiful woman at the side suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Yun Hai and Lin Tian with disbelief. After a while, she asked: "You, you are Lin Tian?"


    Lin Tian glanced at the beautiful woman. Without even thinking about it, he knew that this beautiful woman was the Holy Maiden of the previous generation in the Blood Demon Sect, the mistress who had captivated his master ¡­


    Lin Tian did not reply. Instead, he first said to Xiao Yunhai: "Master, I''ll first rescue you out."


    As he said that, he suddenly shot out his Dragonscale Spear, aiming for the chain that locked Xiao Yunhai and directly chopping down at it. However, that chain didn''t move at all and didn''t have any reaction.


    "Don''t waste your energy. This chain is made of Ten Thousand Year Dark Iron, it is almost impossible to open ¡­" Xiao Yunhai let out a low sigh, only then did he come back to his senses, and spoke again: "Why are you here, before they discover you, quickly leave! Quickly leave!"


    Lin Tian lightly shook his head and did not continue with his spear. Instead, he turned around and spoke to the beautiful woman, "Mistress, my good Mistress. Are you satisfied now?"


    Lin Tian''s words were filled with ridicule, but the beautiful woman''s lips moved slightly. She wanted to say something, but she did not say it. She only shook her head slightly.


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything more and started to ask for help from the people in the Divine Palace.

 C366 Trace exposure

    However, even Horned Demons were at a loss in the face of this Ten Thousand Year Dark Iron chain.


    "Kid, it''s almost impossible to use external force to break this material." Hornless said indifferently, but after a moment of thought, he turned to Lin Tian and said: "Brat, did you forget about the Celestial Mouse? "The Celestial Mouse possesses the Heaven''s Eyes and also has superpowers. Although this kind of shackle cannot be broken, the Celestial Mouse might have a way ¡­"


    After Horned Demon said this, Lin Tian slapped his forehead and laughed softly: "How come I forgot about the Celestial Mouse?"


    Saying that, Lin Tian''s right hand slightly moved, summoning the Celestial Mouse out.


    Lin Tian pointed at the chains and then said in a deep voice: "You can open these chains ¡­"


    However, before Lin Tian could finish speaking, the Celestial Mouse''s eyes lit up and looked at the chain. The corner of his mouth continuously curled into a smile as he said: "Hahaha, boy, you''ve found the right one, I never thought that this was actually a real Mysterious Ten Thousand Year Iron. The ancestor has always been trying to find some good tools, and is lacking materials, this material has been delivered to his doorstep ¡­"


    Not long after, the Celestial Mouse took out all sorts of tools, such as hammers, nails, and all sorts of other strange tools from an unknown place. The Celestial Mouse took them all out and began to beat the chains.


    Lin Tian was finally free. Seeing Xiao Yunhai''s emaciated body, without even thinking, Lin Tian knew what kind of treatment Xiao Yunhai had received in the Blood Demon Sect.


    Only, Lin Tian did not understand how Xiao Yunhai had been captured. Could it be all because of this Mistress?


    At this moment, Xiao Yunhai''s face was filled with amazement as he looked at the Celestial Mouse that could speak human language. His heart was in disbelief; he hadn''t thought that after so long, Lin Tian would actually have such a demon beast as a pet.


    Lin Tian saw the doubt in Xiao Yunhai''s eyes, but didn''t explain. He instead said: "Master, this is a long story. I''ll explain it to you later. However, how did you end up in the hands of the Blood Demon Sect?"


    "Sigh, it''s a long story." Xiao Yunhai let out a low sigh and then explained it all to Lin Tian.


    Only now did Lin Tian know that after Xiao Yunhai left, he had followed Blood Demon Sect all the way here. All these years, because Xiao Yunhai had never let go of Lin Tian''s mistress, he had already secretly collected a lot of clues about Blood Demon Sect.


    Thus, ever since he had left the Azure Province, Xiao Yunhai''s journey had been very smooth.


    He had successfully found the Blood Demon Sect''s base of operations, and had also investigated for the whereabouts of Lady Lin Tian.


    Of course, on the way here, Xiao Yunhai had also sent Gu Qingyuan all the information he had gathered about Blood Demon Sect.


    This was also the reason why Gu Qingyuan didn''t go out of his house and knew every move of the Blood Demon Sect.


    And this time, it was also Xiao Yunhai who passed down the blood letter, which was why Luo Tianyi and the others were so shocked, and why they had all taken action ¡­


    When Xiao Yunhai had discovered that Lin Tian''s mistress was actually here, he had revealed his whereabouts without the slightest hesitation. He had been captured by the Blood Demon Sect.


    After Lin Tian heard this, he was half speechless and half helpless as he asked: "Master, did you find the answer?"


    "Hmm?" Xiao Yunhai was slightly startled, but he immediately understood what Lin Tian meant.


    Xiao Yunhai lightly nodded: "Found it."


    "You found it?"


    "Found it!" Xiao Yunhai replied with certainty: "Tian''er, you shouldn''t have come. I have already made the decision to die. After I found the answer, I will no longer have any regrets!"


    "Master!" He pointed to the beautiful woman at his side, then shouted at Xiao Yunhai: "For her, you did not hesitate to abandon your sect, and your own martial brothers were also all killed by those bastards from the Blood Demon Sect. Moreover, you were poisoned at the time, did you forget about all of this?"


    "I haven''t forgotten, it''s just that you don''t understand what Master means." Xiao Yunhai ruefully smiled, then said: "Tian''er, you should leave as soon as possible. Once you''re discovered, you won''t be able to leave ¡­"


    "Leave! I won''t leave so easily! If Blood Demon Sect stays on this earth, it will become a huge disaster sooner or later. I definitely won''t be able to leave!" Lin Tian sneered, then looked at the beautiful woman and said: "This time, first, I''m here to save you from death, and secondly, I''m here to completely wipe out the Blood Demon Sect!"


    "What big words you have there!" Right at this moment, a stern shout suddenly sounded out from nearby.


    It was a woman''s voice. Lin Tian instantly recognized the voice. It was the High Priest from earlier.


    When the woman''s voice fell, suddenly, a group of black-robed people swarmed in from outside, surrounding Lin Tian, Xiao Yunhai, and Xiao Lingxi.


    The High Priest had also come. However, the High Priest had no feet. A vine was on the ground, lifting her legs up as she floated in the air.


    "You are quite capable. You actually snuck into the Glory Sect without anyone noticing, and even killed all the blood puppets on the ground. Just who exactly are you? Speak your name!" The High Priest coldly said to Lin Tian.


    "Actually, what I have done is not just these ¡­" Seeing everyone arrive, Lin Tian was not the least bit surprised, nor was he afraid. Instead, he faintly smiled and said: "You guys seem to be waiting for news from Yan Wuhen?"


    "Yan Wuhen, you ¡­" Just as the High Priest was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lin Tian: "That''s right, I was the one who killed Yan Wuhen ¡­"


    After hearing these words, the group of black-cloaked people immediately turned pale with fright, each and every one of them stubbornly staring at Lin Tian.


    "If you guys were waiting for news from Yan Wuhen, I''m afraid you wouldn''t be able to do it. Moreover, not only that, your Five Great Academies'' plan has also failed. The blood puppets that invaded the Five Great Academies have all been killed by me ¡­" Lin Tian continued to speak while incessantly urging the Celestial Mouse to quickly unchain the chain.


    The Celestial Mouse was sweating profusely at this moment. Hearing Lin Tian urge it, it also said anxiously: "Brat, don''t rush the ancestor. The ancestor''s heart is more anxious than you, but is it useful? This chain is extremely complex and extremely difficult to open ¡­."


    Lin Tian''s heart immediately sank. He wasn''t worried about the Blood Demon Sect attacking him, but he was worried about Xiao Yunhai.


    Xiao Yunhai was undoubtedly his weak spot right now. If he were to take care of these demons, Xiao Yunhai would undoubtedly distract him.


    "You said that you killed Yan Wuhen, and then you killed Yan Wuhen. Where''s the evidence? You''re only an existence at the first level of the Xinghe realm, and you still want to kill my Saint Sect''s enforcer?" Just at this moment, a black robed man said to Lin Tian in disbelief.


    "Whoosh!" In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the black robed man and firmly wrapped him up. In the next moment, the black robed man didn''t even have time to scream before he turned into dense white bones and fell onto the ground.

 C367 Endless river of blood

    "What?"


    "How could this be?"


    "How is this possible ¡­"


    Seeing that the black robed person had died a terrible death in the blink of an eye, the surrounding black robed people all took a few steps back and looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    No one could have imagined that this kid would have such a lightning skill. In the blink of an eye, he had beheaded the black-robed man.


    Also, the key point was that Lin Tian''s methods were extremely terrifying and it was impossible to guard against.


    "Hmm?" The High Priest''s eyes also flickered as he stared at Lin Tian. It was unknown as to what he was thinking.


    "Are these bones convincing enough?" Lin Tian looked at the crowd and then coldly said.


    "Your methods are indeed terrifying, but you may not be invincible!" The High Priest suddenly roared, pointed at Lin Tian, and coldly shouted: "Seal!"


    In the blink of an eye, tree vines suddenly rose up around Lin Tian. Those tree vines, in the blink of an eye, charged towards Lin Tian. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s entire body was completely wrapped by those tree vines.


    "Endless river of blood, kill!" In the next moment, without waiting for Lin Tian to come back to his senses, the High Priest once again opened his mouth and roared.


    Suddenly, above the High Priest''s head, a huge phantom image of a blood river appeared. The blood river instantly wrapped around Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian at once felt a terrifying evil Qi and killing intent emitting from the blood river, wanting to directly kill him.


    Not only that, he even felt as if all the blood in his body was about to burst out of his body under the attraction of the blood river.


    Lin Tian didn''t have enough time to think. The whirlpool of Dantian quickly circulated and the Ancient Dragon Tally within the Divine Palace also released an incomparably cool aura. It suppressed the throbbing in his body and the urge to spit out blood.


    At the same time, Lin Tian naturally could not just sit there and wait for death. His soul slightly moved and in the next moment, a vine immediately sprayed out from Lin Tian''s soul. After rushing out of his body, the vine instantly became over a hundred vines.


    At this moment, the hundreds of vines were charging towards the blood river above his head in the blink of an eye.


    "Hmm?" Only now did the High Priest feel how terrifying Lin Tian was.


    This kid was not affected by the blood river at all!


    This sort of situation was truly no trivial matter.


    The Blood Demon Sect''s greatest technique was the endless blood river. It was refined from the blood of countless martial cultivators and even high-grade martial arts cultivators.


    Once the endless river of blood enveloped him, the lingering grievances, residual souls, vicious auras, and murderous auras would all affect his cultivation.


    Even a Life and Death Realm expert would lose their minds and explode to death under the cover of this blood river.


    The other Blood Demon Sect disciples, as well as the Blood Puppet, could also form their own blood river. The source of their power came from these endless blood rivers.


    This was also the most fundamental reason that Blood Puppets could use the power of their blood rivers to reverse the flow of their opponents'' blood and lose the ability to fight back.


    However, this kid hadn''t been affected by the blood river at all.


    Not only that, he even had the strength to fight back.


    Just as he was thinking this, the endless river of blood above Lin Tian''s head was suddenly absorbed by the vines that Lin Tian had sent out just now.


    At this moment, a "pu pi pi" sound was being emitted from the blood river.


    "What?" The High Priest didn''t even have time to react. Not only could this brat ignore the effects of the blood river, his vines could even absorb the blood essence inside his blood river.


    "How is this possible? How can this be ¡­" The High Priest muttered to herself. The use of the endless blood river that she normally did had almost no disadvantages. However, Lin Tian''s vine had suddenly absorbed the power of the blood river. The High Priest was somewhat stunned.


    But just as he was in a daze, Lin Tian suddenly fiercely roared out: "Break!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, crackling sounds came from Lin Tian''s body.


    The vine that the High Priest had used to bind Lin Tian had actually completely shattered at this moment, turning into pieces of shattered vines.


    Lin Tian had actually forcefully used his physical body''s power to shatter the vine ¡­


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." The black robed people in the audience all sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Lin Tian with an expression of disbelief. This kid was simply too terrifying.


    Not only could it resist the endless blood river, it could even break the High Priest''s Confinement Spell ¡­


    Lin Tian stretched his muscles. Just now, Lin Tian had used the power of his Coiling Dragon Body Refining Technique to directly shatter the vine.


    The physical strength of a Coiling Dragon was unrivalled in this world. Those little tree vines that wanted to bind Lin Tian were naturally impossible ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian also attacked.


    "Kill!"


    "An afterimage!"


    "God of Slaughter!"


    "Killing intent!"


    The Dragon Scale Spear in his hand lightly shook. In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had actually blasted out the first four moves of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb towards the surrounding black-cloaked people.


    These black robed people were all humans and not blood puppets, so it was only natural that they could be killed.


    As for the Blood Puppet, it could not be killed at all.


    "I will tear you into a thousand pieces!" At this moment, the High Priest suddenly let out an extremely mournful shriek. He was obviously enraged to the extreme.


    It turned out that the vine had absorbed almost half of the power of the endless blood river.


    This endless river of blood had been accumulated over the years by the Blood Demon Sect, and it had cost them countless efforts. It was their most precious treasure and their only trump card in restoring the former glory of the Blood Demon Sect.


    However, right now, less than half of it had been sucked by Lin Tian''s vine. It had to be known that within that small half, there was a terrifying and powerful strength!


    The High Priest had yet to react, but by the time she could react, she was already less than half of her original strength ¡­


    What exactly was that vine? How could it have such a terrifying sucking ability?


    But Lin Tian did not pay attention to the High Priest''s roar. He wholeheartedly focused on dealing with the black-cloaked people.


    The strength of those black-robed men weren''t weak either. Many of them were existences at the first level of the Star River Realm, and they were all extremely proficient practitioners.


    "Infinite Blood River, collect it!" Naturally, the High Priest could not just sit there and watch the blood river continue to be devoured by the vines. He immediately wanted to recall the endless blood river.


    But before she could take it back, grass shot out hundreds of vines towards the High Priest ¡­

 C368 Recruitment of the high priest

    Grass'' true body was a Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, and naturally, it thirsted for the power of blood. However, since this High Priest wanted to retrieve the Blood River''s power, how could Grass'' power be as she wished?


    As expected, just as the High Priest was about to retrieve the blood river, the grass suddenly pounced on the High Priest.


    In the blink of an eye, thousands of vines had wrapped themselves around the High Priest.


    Ah!" The High Priest let out a miserable scream. Her face was filled with incredulity as she realized that the grass was trying to suck her blood essence!


    The High Priest didn''t have enough time to think before a terrifying power gushed out from her hand. She used all her strength to tear the vine on the grass into pieces.


    However, in the next moment, the grass once again shot out tendrils towards the High Priest.


    The High Priest was both frightened and furious. She finally stopped holding back and chanted an incantation. Before long, a black baleful aura emerged from her body.


    The evil aura landed on the vines and swiftly corroded them. Not long later, the vines that the grass had emitted earlier had all turned into withered branches.


    The grass let out a pitiful cry and quickly retracted its vines.


    However, it was obvious that the High Priest wasn''t in a good mood when he used this technique.


    In the blink of an eye, her appearance had changed from the youth that was green just now to a white-haired old woman.


    However, it didn''t take long for her to regain the appearance of a young girl.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also displayed all of his abilities and crazily killed in the black-cloaked crowd.


    Before long, all of the black-robed men were killed by him.


    He was either killed by the dragon scale spear or destroyed by his incomparably strong body.


    All in all, more than twenty of the hundred black-robed men had fallen.


    It was also at this time that Lin Tian suddenly heard a soft ''kacha'' not too far away. Lin Tian turned around to take a glance and discovered that it was the Celestial Mouse. Coincidentally, it had unchained Xiao Yunhai at this time.


    The next moment after Xiao Yunhai was saved, the High Priest once again made his move. Vines of trees were also emitted from her body, and they rolled towards Xiao Yunhai.


    When Lin Tian heard the voice, he didn''t have time to think any further. With a palm strike, he killed the black robed person he was entangling with. He turned around and once again arrived in front of Xiao Yunhai.


    The tree vines that the High Priest had released were just blocked by Lin Tian. Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear shook as he cut the tree vines in half.


    "Master, you step back first." Lin Tian faintly said.


    However, Xiao Yunhai said: "Tian''er, let this mouse unchain your Mistress ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s heart was infuriated as he angrily said: "Master, even now, you''re still taking care of her. This old demoness just ordered that we should kill you directly, but she didn''t say that we should do so. After all, she is still a member of the Blood Demon Sect. You are an outsider, so why do you care about this?"


    "If you don''t save her, then I won''t leave. My master already had four intentions, and now that you have the power to deal with these bastards from the Blood Demon Sect, it doesn''t matter even if my master dies ¡­" Xiao Yunhai knew Lin Tian''s temperament, so he didn''t say anything more. The only thing he was happy about was that Lin Tian''s current growth speed was incomparably terrifying in front of him, in the short span of a year, Lin Tian had not only reached the first level of the Xinghe Realm, but also carried a great treasure with him. His methods were endless, so even if he died here, he would still be at ease.


    Originally, he was worried that Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to deal with these Blood Demon Sect people, but it seemed that almost no one here could stop Lin Tian.


    So, he was the biggest burden. It would be better to die with Ru''Er right now rather than being tied down by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s heart was filled with both grief and resentment. He didn''t think that his master would be deceived by this girl to this extent.


    But for this trip, his biggest goal was to get Xiao Yunhai out of here. If he could only watch Xiao Yunhai die here, then what was his main motive for coming here?


    "Master, if you force me like this, I will naturally obey, but Master, in Lin Tian''s heart, you are no different from my own father. How can I just watch as you die in front of my eyes?" Lin Tian''s heart was a bit sad, but he still said to the Celestial Mouse: "Help her open it too ¡­."


    The Celestial Mouse naturally would not refuse. Actually, even if Lin Tian did not say anything, it still wanted to help Lin Tian''s Mistress break the chain.


    Not for anything else, but for the chain.


    That chain was made of Mysterious Ten Thousand Year Iron, but it was a rare material. The tools in its hands were all made of fine steel, so it had been wanting to find a good material to rebuild its tools for a long time.


    Right now, this chain is undoubtedly a good material for delivering to my doorstep. How can I let it go ¡­


    After helping Xiao Yunhai escape earlier, the Celestial Mouse had already stored all of the chains onto its body.


    At this moment, Lin Tian had single-handedly defeated everyone from the Blood Demon Sect, but no one came to disturb it. This was a very good mission.


    "Don''t worry, kid, this is all my fault ¡­" The Celestial Mouse confidently said to Lin Tian before burying his head and working hard.


    The High Priest couldn''t do anything to Lin Tian in a few moves, and at this moment, he stopped underestimating Lin Tian. Thinking about it, the High Priest said: "Brat, with your strength and talent, you''re really too much of a waste of talent in this small Tian Luo Country, how about, you join my Blood Demon Sect, I guarantee that my Blood Demon Sect will do everything in our power to nurture you, wait until my sect''s blood sacrifices the Tian Luo Country, then we can kill the five great sects of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect and once again become the tyrant of the Western Spirit Region. No matter what you ask for, I will promise you the right to cultivate. When the time comes, my sect will give you endless resources."


    The High Priest could not do anything to Lin Tian within this short period of time. He actually wanted to recruit and plot against Lin Tian ¡­


    "Hahaha, looks like this is how you recruited Yan Wuhen ¡­" Lin Tian looked at the High Priest and the corners of his mouth held a trace of a mocking smile.


    "Yan Wuhen is only an example. Back then, my Glory Sect paid a huge price to turn him from an extremely retarded fool to a genius, and just from him, you can see the methods of my Glory Sect. You''re different, if you join my Glory Sect, as long as you do something for my sect, it''s not impossible for my Glory Sect to respect you!" The High Priest indifferently said to Lin Tian.


    "Oh, this condition of yours isn''t bad ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled.


    Seeing that Lin Tian''s words were a bit loose, the High Priest immediately continued: "Don''t worry, amongst the Glory Sect, I am the highest. As long as you are willing to pay for my sect, one day, you will take over the West Spirit Region.

 C369 Temporal corrosion

    "Hmm?" Lin Tian slightly froze. He thought for a long time before suddenly understanding what the High Priest meant by ''taking in'' a subordinate.


    Only, Lin Tian wasn''t the least bit interested in this old demoness ¡­


    Right now, the High Priest standing in front of him was a young and pretty girl, but Lin Tian had long since seen all kinds of beauties. Not to mention his fiancee, Yun Huang, just Hua Ruyi, she was much more beautiful than him.


    Moreover, it wasn''t like Lin Tian hadn''t seen her true face before. This high priest was transformed by an old demoness.


    She must have borrowed the power of a secret technique to become this young girl ¡­


    "No, no, no, it''s better if you don''t ¡­" Lin Tian shook his head.


    The High Priest did not get angry. He continued, "That''s fine. When the time comes, the Western Spiritual Realm will be taken by my Glory Sect. You can pick any beauty you want ¡­"


    "No, no, no, I don''t intend to join your crappy school ¡­" Lin Tian did not hesitate to refuse.


    "Are you messing with me?" The High Priest immediately roared in anger.


    "Nonsense, if I don''t waste time with you and recover my spiritual energy, how can I kill all of you?" Lin Tian laughed out loud, and the Dragon Scale Spear suddenly pierced towards the High Priest.


    Just now, Lin Tian was intentionally stalling for time with her. Just now, he had consecutively killed over twenty black robed people.


    So Lin Tian secretly used spirit stones to recover his soul force. At this time, he had completely recovered.


    The High Priest was extremely strange. He didn''t look like a human, but more like a tree demon. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have released those vines to attack, and his feet wouldn''t have been mere vines instead of human feet.


    So, against this High Priest, Lin Tian still had to come up with a foolproof plan.


    "Kill!" The Dragon Scale Spear was thrust out by Lin Tian. This spear, Lin Tian did not use the Sky Dragon Burial, but completely relied on the strength of his physical body.


    Lin Tian cultivated the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body, his physical body was unparalleled. With the strength of his physical body, he should be able to deal with this old demoness ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s Divine Palace also activated endless Spirit power.


    In the blink of an eye, his spiritual energy transformed into a series of runes, flashing as they charged towards the High Priest.


    In the next moment, the runes began to condense into a spell formation.


    It was none other than the Dragon Locking Array that Lin Tian had comprehended!


    "Lock it for me!" Lin Tian let out a loud roar, and in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Bolt Formation was completely formed, sealing off the space and locking the High Priest within.


    The High Priest was slightly startled, but at this time, Lin Tian''s spear had already pierced towards the High Priest.


    The High Priest was currently trapped by Lin Tian using the Dragon Locking Array and was unable to use a secret technique. Facing Lin Tian''s spear, she had no way of dodging it.


    "High Priest!"


    At this time, the black robed people on the side finally reacted and roared as they charged at Lin Tian.


    But at this moment, it was already too late.


    Lin Tian''s spear had already pierced the High Priest, the Dragon Scale Spear instantly piercing through the High Priest''s body.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s spear pierced through the High Priest''s body, but at this moment, Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t right.


    In reality, when Lin Tian''s spear had pierced into the High Priest''s body, it was somewhat inconceivable. The old demoness in front of him was the High Priest of the Blood Demon Sect.


    How could he be so easily killed by Lin Tian''s spear?


    If it were that simple, the Blood Demon Sect might not be so terrifying.


    The facts proved that Lin Tian''s guess was correct.


    After Lin Tian shattered the High Priest''s body with a single spear strike, he discovered that the High Priest''s body was actually just a broken piece of wood.


    "Li Dai Tao Dian!" At this moment, a silhouette started to appear not far away. That voice belonged to the High Priest.


    In the next moment, the High Priest''s body completely appeared.


    Not only was the Dragon Locking Formation unable to trap the High Priest, even Lin Tian''s accumulated energy spear also completely missed.


    "Kid, now we can be sure that this High Priest isn''t a human but a tree demon! This is the secret technique of their tree demon race, Li Dai Tao!" Right at this moment, the voice of the Horned Demon from the Divine Palace suddenly sounded out.


    "As expected!" Lin Tian nodded slightly.


    This time, he didn''t attack again.


    She had the Li Dai Peach Solidified Secret Technique, Lin Tian''s Dragon Locking Formation was practically useless to her.


    "I did not expect you to be a Symbol Master!" "In fact, I really don''t want to kill you. If you join my Glory Sect, I can guarantee that you will be able to rise above the rest, and even surpass my True Martial World. It''s just a pity, but you still insist on going against my Glory Sect."


    The High Priest abruptly opened his mouth and once again chanted a strange spell.


    Only, under the effects of that weird incantation, Lin Tian Deng felt a wave of lightheadedness, and his body also gave off an extremely strange feeling of discomfort.


    Lin Tian once again felt that the blood in his body was flowing in reverse. It seemed like he was unable to mobilize the soul force in his body.


    "This incantation is even more terrifying than the endless blood river just now ¡­" Only now did Lin Tian feel the High Priest''s methods.


    Before long, streams of black Qi were emitted from the High Priest''s body. In the blink of an eye, they were charging toward Lin Tian.


    On Lin Tian''s body, terrifying wrinkles suddenly began to appear.


    One terrifying wrinkles after another rippled like water and quickly spread over Lin Tian''s body.


    "This is the corrosion of time ¡­" Just at this time, the Horned Demon in Lin Tian''s Heavenly God Palace also felt the difference from Lin Tian''s body. After a careful inspection, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.


    "Time corrosion?" Lin Tian opened his mouth with great difficulty and activated the Immemorial Dragon Rune on his soul, wanting to borrow the Immemorial Dragon Symbol''s power to disperse the power of this incantation.


    "That''s right, time is eroding ¡­" "This is almost the power of law. This tree demon isn''t even a rank 5 beast, so how could it master the power of law that only a Saint-rank beast can master?"


    A Rank 5 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Life and Death Realm human expert. This High Priest wasn''t even a Life and Death Realm expert, yet he was able to use the Law Energy of a Saint Realm expert. Of course, Horned Demon couldn''t believe it.


    At this time, the Ancient Dragon Symbol released rays of light, gradually dispersing the time corroding the energy. Only then was the speed of Lin Tian''s aging body stopped.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian could not help but knit his brows and ask: "That so-called time corrosion, just what kind of power is it?"

 C370 The law of time

    Horned Demon was not worried about Lin Tian, even though the time corrosion power that the High Priest used was extremely terrifying, and it was also something that ordinary people could not contend with, they were quickly corroded by the time corrosion power and turned into an old man. Even an oil lamp would burn out, and in a short moment, they would lose their life force and die.


    But Lin Tian was different. Lin Tian had the Ancient Dragon Rune, which was the Ancestral Dragon''s spirit rune. With the Ancestral Dragon''s power, it was completely easy to use a bull knife to kill chickens when fighting against the incomplete Time Laws.


    Thus, Horned Demon and Lin Tian said a few more words: "When the world revolves, there are rules, and all of them are definite. This refers to the power of laws, which is also the power of laws."


    "The laws of destiny are rules.


    The rules of this world were limitless. The power of any attribute was a rule.


    Sage realm experts had comprehended the power of laws of the Great Dao, and formed their own power of law.


    Only by comprehending the power of law can one become a saint. "


    Hornless said indifferently.


    After the wrinkles on Lin Tian''s body were dispersed by the Primordial Dragon Rune, he began to carefully listen to Horned Demon''s lecture.


    "And the most powerful Laws between the heavens and the earth are Laws with special powers, such as the Laws of Time!"


    Whether it is humans or demon beasts, time is the most powerful existence. Martial cultivators on the Sky Dragon Continent train painstakingly because they want to fight for their lives. In fact, not only humans, but even powerful dragons have a lifespan limit.


    At this point, Horned Demon couldn''t help but sigh and continue, "Actually, whether it''s the humans, demi-humans, or dragons, they all want to gain more time, because in front of time, any kind of power will decay and become nihility ¡­"


    Lin Tian nodded his head. What Hornless said made sense. Actually, a single sentence was much easier to understand.


    It was that no matter what race it was, it would die.


    This death did not refer to the accidental death, or being killed by someone else.


    It was old age.


    Once one''s lifespan reached a certain point, even a powerful Ancestral Dragon would die.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian had talked to the many treasured saint back in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm. The only obsession of the many treasured saint was ¡ª ¡ª To live a long life?


    No one can live forever.


    Of course, this also allowed him to understand how terrifying the Time Laws were.


    However, another question appeared in Lin Tian''s mind: "Since the Time Laws are so terrifying, then a person who has comprehended the power of the Time Laws isn''t invincible. He uses the power of time''s corrosion and in the blink of an eye, he can take away a person''s life, causing them to die ¡­ ¡­"


    "How could there be such a good thing?" Horned Demon sneered and shook his head. "Look at that High Priest ¡­"


    Lin Tian slightly froze and then turned his head to look.


    At this moment, the High Priest no longer looked like the youth he had just seen. Instead, he had turned into a white-haired old woman.


    "Did you see that?" Horned Demon''s voice rang out again, "This is the power of the Time Laws, and it is also the price for using the power of the Time Laws ¡­"


    "You saw the terror of the Law of Time, but you didn''t see the person who casted the Law of Time. The price you have to pay ¡­"


    "Brat, remember this. This power of the Great Dao is fair. It can''t be biased at all. What kind of power do you want to possess will cost you ¡­"


    Lin Tian nodded his head as if he had understood something.


    Not long after, with the help of the Ancient Dragon Talisman, Lin Tian suddenly felt his Divine Palace shake as an indescribable feeling surged into his heart.


    The Immemorial Dragon Talisman suddenly emitted light, directly attracting Lin Tian''s consciousness. Lin Tian felt the sky spin and the earth spin as he unexpectedly arrived in another world.


    "This place is ¡­" Lin Tian knit his brows as he sized up the surrounding space. This place was pitch-black, and only nearby was a sliver of light.


    Lin Tian wanted to walk towards the light, but no matter if he walked fast or slow, or if he stood where he was without moving, he was always not far from the light.


    He was unable to reach it, even when Lin Tian was running, he felt that the beam of light was only a step away from him.


    However, this short step was akin to the distance between the heavens and the earth.


    No matter how much he wanted to get close, he couldn''t.


    Lin Tian simply did not approach the light and closed his eyes to meditate.


    Just now, Lin Tian was moved by Horned Demon''s words and actually had a bit of comprehension.


    However, when he wanted to grasp that strand of enlightenment, he discovered that no matter what, he couldn''t find that sensation again.


    "The dead are like this, there''s no time for day and night ¡­" Right at this moment, an incomparably desolate voice rang out beside Lin Tian''s ears.


    That sound penetrated time and space and penetrated everything, falling into Lin Tian''s ears.


    Lin Tian carefully mulled over those eight words, but after a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Although the deceased are still the same, I have a feeling in my heart that they won''t move like a mountain!"


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly felt that he was even closer to that light.


    When Lin Tian stretched out his hand, he could catch that ray of light.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate at all. He extended his hand and grabbed that ray of light. The next moment, a warm ray of sunlight shone onto Lin Tian''s face, piercing Lin Tian to the point that he couldn''t open his eyes.


    But in the next moment, after Lin Tian opened his eyes, everything disappeared. The darkness, the light, and the space all disappeared in an instant.


    In front of him was still the white-haired High Priest, as well as a group of black robed men who were eyeing him covetously.


    Lin Tian seemed to have thought of something, but was also at a loss.


    However, at this moment, Hornless Lin sighed and said, "Congratulations. Kid, you have successfully comprehended a sliver of the Law of Time ¡­"


    Lin Tian didn''t clearly hear the following words, but he didn''t think about what the Horned Demon said either.


    But at this time, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that he no longer needed to use the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol to disperse the High Priest''s incantation. On the contrary, the High Priest''s incantation power and the rolling black Qi that was emitted from her body had completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    "Pfft!" The High Priest, who was not far away, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, she was like a crazy woman, pointing at Lin Tian Xue and screaming: "You! You can actually break my corrosive power of time!"


    Originally, when she used the power of time corrosion, she would have suffered from the backlash. She never thought that right now, Lin Tian was not affected by the power of time corrosion either, which caused the High Priest to be seriously injured.


    The High Priest''s body collapsed to the ground, on the verge of death ¡­

 C371 Holy maiden

    "High Priest!" Currently, the eyes of the surrounding black robed people were bloodshot. Without any care, they crazily rushed towards Lin Tian. None of them knew that the High Priest was originally well, but right now he had suddenly fallen to the ground.


    However, they couldn''t believe that this kid had suddenly defeated the High Priest.


    That High Priest''s strength is ¡­


    But at this time, Lin Tian once again made his move.


    The Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand shook slightly and then rushed towards the black-cloaked people.


    The strength of his fleshly body, coupled with the might of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb''s spear arts, increased the strength of one spear by several times.


    At this moment, the spear was like a long dragon as it wildly wreaked havoc between the black robed man.


    One by one, the black-cloaked men were sent flying backwards, their bodies being torn apart by the spear.


    Lin Tian displayed his godly might and all of the black-cloaked people present were a bit afraid. They didn''t dare to go forward and clash head on with Lin Tian.


    It had to be known that Lin Tian''s strength was simply too terrifying. Right now he was brimming with sharpness and no one dared to meet it head on.


    But after forcing the black-cloaked person to retreat, Lin Tian did not have the thought of continuing to take advantage of the victory to chase after him.


    On the contrary, he called back the small grass that was dancing in the air.


    When the grass absorbed the power of the endless river of blood, the High Priest used a corrosive method to take away the grass''s life force.


    That was why the small grass was screaming in the air. However, it was unable to directly digest the power of time corrosion.


    At this moment, there was still a withered aura on the grass that couldn''t be wiped away no matter how hard it tried.


    Lin Tian frowned. Then, as if he had thought of something, he closed his eyes and began to feel the power of the Time Laws that he had just comprehended.


    In the next moment, from Lin Tian''s hands, a silk-like power suddenly came and quickly wrapped around the small grass in Lin Tian''s hands.


    In the blink of an eye, the grass started to radiate with vitality once more. The aura of decay and decay from earlier completely disappeared without a trace.


    At this moment, Lin Tian opened his eyes. Actually, Horned Demon had just said that he had comprehended a trace of the power of law, but Lin Tian didn''t think so. He didn''t even know how to control that power.


    But now that he had displayed that portion of his power, Lin TianAo had gained some insights.


    At this moment, Little Grass''s telepathic thoughts were also sent over, and it was actually thanking Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian gently stroked the grass in his hands, then he smiled and said: "Little thing, we''re friends, have you forgotten?"


    "En!" Little Grass gently nodded before affectionately rubbing Lin Tian''s hands and fiercely said: "You''re going to help me. Help me kill that old demoness ¡­ ¡­"


    Hearing the small grass''s childish voice, Lin Tian couldn''t help but smile, then lightly laughed and said: "No harm, I''ll help you take revenge!"


    The small grass returned to Lin Tian''s soul. At the same time, Lin Tian''s gaze once again fell on the High Priest''s body.


    At that time, the High Priest actually slowly stood up. He stared at Lin Tian in fear and anger, as if he wanted to tear Lin Tian into two.


    Lin Tian smiled slightly and said, "Now, do you believe that I have destroyed your Blood Demon Sect?"


    The High Priest once again spat out a mouthful of blood. She forcefully endured her injuries and turned her head to look behind her. Then, she turned to the seven to eight year old girl and shouted, "Holy Maiden, please do it!"


    The other black-robed men also knelt down. They bent down to the seven to eight year old girl and said, "Holy Maiden, please make your move ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyes flickered as he looked at the seven or eight year old girl.


    Although Lin Tian did not really believe that a seven or eight year old child had any frightening strength, looking at the actions of these black-cloaked people, their actions were extremely terrifying. They did not dare to relax in the slightest as they stared unwaveringly at the so-called Holy Maiden.


    "Lin Tian, you have to be careful. They''re going to kill us!" At this moment, not far away, the beautiful woman, the Holy Maiden of the previous generation of the Blood Demon Sect and also Lin Tian''s mistress, could not help but call out to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian turned around to look. He didn''t know when, but the Heavenly Mouse had already broken the chains on the beautiful woman''s body.


    That beautiful woman had regained her freedom and was currently standing together with Xiao Yunhai.


    At this moment, Xiao Yunhai''s face was filled with concern as he looked at Lin Tian. However, when he saw that Lin Tian was looking at his brother-in-law with an unfriendly gaze, his heart began to struggle.


    He knew that Lin Tian was doing this for his own good, but Ru''er was still his wife and also Lin Tian''s master''s wife. Currently, he was in the middle and feeling the most uncomfortable.


    At the same time, the Celestial Mouse contentedly patted its belly. At this time, Lin Ming discovered that there was a bag on the Celestial Rat''s stomach.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s gaze, how could that Celestial Mouse not know what Lin Tian was thinking? He immediately hugged his own pocket and shouted: "Kid, what are you looking at? Even if you were to look at the Patriarch, it would be impossible to give you the things inside. These are the Patriarch''s treasures!"


    "It''s your treasure, and it''s mine as well." Lin Tian slightly smiled.


    "Brat, if you dare to have any ideas about the old ancestor''s pockets, the old ancestor will fight you to the death!" The Celestial rat was anxious as it shouted towards Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian did not mind and indifferently said: "Your things, we''ll talk about it when the time comes. You come back first and I''ll explain it to you after I take care of this group of trash ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s eyes carried a bit of malice, but he began to be fully alert. The methods of the Blood Demon Sect definitely could not be underestimated.


    Even without his so-called mistress''s reminder, he would have paid extra attention.


    The Celestial Mouse on the other hand, angrily turned back into a shadow and imprinted itself on Lin Tian''s right hand.


    But at this moment, a tender voice suddenly sounded: "Burning my body, endless blood river, sacrifice!"


    It was the Holy Maiden''s voice. After she finished speaking, the Holy Maiden''s body suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into a huge mist of blood.


    In the blink of an eye, the blood-red mist transformed into a rain of blood that sprinkled onto the blood-red river above his head.


    The blood-red power of the river instantly expanded.


    The endless blood river that had been absorbed by the grass was now even more terrifying than before.


    However, that is not all.


    The kneeling black-cloaked men suddenly stood up at this moment, each of them bursting with power.


    It was as if the power of the blood river had increased.


    Not only that, the High Priest''s appearance had also rapidly returned to his young and beautiful appearance.


    In the next moment, the High Priest coldly looked at Lin Tian and said: "The Blood River Slaughtering Formation, activate!"

 C372 Blood river death spirit formation

    Blood River''s Spirit Killing Array?


    Lin Tian had a burst of doubt in his heart. Array again?


    One must know that back then when Lin Tian met the Bone Flute Young Master Song Qingyu, he was also using the power of some formation array. Lin Tian still remembered that formation, it was called the Great Killing Array.


    Could it be that this Blood River Slaughtering Formation has some sort of connection with the Life Death Formation?


    "Brat, your guess isn''t wrong. This Blood River Slaughtering Formation is the same as the Life Death Formation. It has almost the same origin, and is a formation designed for the soul force of humans ¡­" Just at this moment, the Horned Demon''s voice suddenly rang out. It was to introduce the Blood River Soul-Slaying Formation to Lin Tian ¡­


    At the same time, behind Lin Tian, the voice of his master''s wife suddenly sounded out: "Lin Tian, be careful, that Holy Maiden, with her own blood essence, one is able to increase their strength, and two, it is to activate the Blood River Slaughtering Spirit Formation. This Blood River Slaughtering Formation is extremely terrifying, ordinary people are unable to do anything about it ¡­"


    "There''s no need for you to worry about this ¡­" Lin Tian softly said, then his body''s strength quickly adjusted to its best. Inside the Divine Palace, his own soul had also connected well with that little grass.


    Although Little Grass had been affected by the corrosive power of time, it was now in perfect condition.


    Once the endless blood river opened, Lin Tian would release the grass and let the grass completely devour the power of the blood river.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s soul also began to emit light. The Ancient Dragon Symbol released waves after waves of terrifying power that firmly protected Lin Tian''s soul.


    Since it was aimed at Lin Tian''s soul, then he had to make a perfect plan!


    "Kill!" But at the same time, a black robed person not too far away pounced towards Lin Tian. That person''s momentum was like a tiger, fearless of death. One strike was a ruthless move ¡­


    Lin Tian did not move like a mountain. With a shake of his long spear, the Dragon Scale Spear quickly pierced through the black cloaked man''s body like a snake''s tongue.


    But at that moment, something strange happened.


    Although Lin Tian''s spear had pierced the black-clothed person and caused his heart to turn cold, the black-clothed person unexpectedly did not have any reaction. It was as if this body was completely not his.


    The corner of his mouth revealed a cruel smile. Then, he grabbed onto Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear.


    Ah!" The black robed man suddenly roared and then forcefully pulled Lin Tian''s dragon scale spear out of his body.


    His face did not change as he continued to attack Lin Tian.


    "Competing in strength with me?" Lin Tian was astonished and his heart burned with anger. There was actually someone who dared to compete with him in strength.


    The coiling dragon''s physical body was unrivalled and it could rule over all the heavens. Was this title just for nothing?


    He once again thrust out his spear. At this moment, he used all his strength and blasted the black-robed man far away.


    "Bang bang!" The black robed man''s body was directly sent flying and he crashed into the wall of the palace. Surprisingly, there was only a human figure left on the wall.


    After a long while, the man in black fell to the ground weakly.


    However, in the next moment, an even more frightening thing happened. The black cloaked man who had originally been lying on the ground, seemingly dead, actually stood up once again!


    "Hehe ¡­" Just at this time, the High Priest coldly laughed and looked at Lin Tian with ridicule.


    At the same time, the black-cloaked person once again rushed towards Lin Tian and angrily roared: "I won''t die!"


    "Undying?" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly used the power of the grass.


    The grass then shot out a vine towards the black-robed man.


    However, just as it was about to land on the person in black, the vine immediately shrank back.


    "It doesn''t have any blood on it ¡­" Just at this moment, the grass''s divine sense reached Lin Tian''s mind.


    "No blood?" Lin Tian cried out: "How is that possible?"


    A person without blood, how could they still be called human?


    "He is no longer human ¡­" The Horned Demon from the Divine Palace said once again.


    "What?"


    "Their blood has long been absorbed by his blood river. Right now, they should be called puppets ¡­" Horned Demon whispered with a sigh.


    I have now understood the terror of this Blood River Spirit Killing Array. The endless blood river has already absorbed all the blood in their bodies earlier. Right now, they are all walking corpses. Hornless continued to explain.


    "Also, didn''t you hear it earlier? They have already activated the Blood River Slaughtering Formation. In other words, the current you is within this Blood River Slaughtering Formation ¡­" Horned Demon slightly sighed: "With the support of the Blood River Spirit Killing Array, they are basically undead, which is also the state that you are currently looking at ¡­"


    "So that''s how it is!" Lin Tian suddenly realized at this moment.


    However, even though he knew the methods of the black robed man and the High Priest, he didn''t need to worry.


    An undying body, Lin Tian wanted to see, what kind of undying method was this!


    As he spoke, the black-cloaked person once again rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    But this time, Lin Tian did not dodge, nor did he attack. Instead, he silently waited for the black-cloaked person to come in front of him.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian made his move.


    This time, he did not use any other methods, but used the power of his simple and crude hands.


    Lin Tian directly grabbed onto the black-cloaked man.


    In the next moment, he suddenly used it to tear the black-robed man into two.


    "Immortal body. Your body is incomplete. Let''s see if you die or not!" Lin Tian''s face was currently fierce, like a demon god descending.


    The black robed man was torn into two halves by Lin TianAo. This time, he fell to the ground weakly. Even after waiting for a long time, he did not stand up again.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate anymore. The physical strength of the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique had the support of the river of stars in his body and his spirit energy did not stop.


    At the same time, the whirlpool within his dantian rumbled incessantly. It circulated rapidly and provided him with an unending stream of power ¡­


    At this moment, Lin Tian was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, crazily pouncing towards the remaining black-cloaked men.


    As a result, not long after, all that was left on the ground were the bones of the dead, which were extremely terrifying to look at.


    Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, these black robed people, were all people that Lin Tian had relied on his own strength to completely tear them apart and kill them ¡­

 C373 Full card out

    Finally, Lin Tian panted as he stood in front of the High Priest.


    At this moment, all the blood in his body was boiling as his entire body erupted with a surge of power that shot into the sky.


    But at this time, the High Priest still smiled without saying a word and silently looked at Lin Tian.


    A moment later, he suddenly spoke, "Do you think that you have already killed them all?"


    "Isn''t it?" Lin Tian said, but his heart became suspicious.


    What did this old demoness mean by saying this? Could it be that she couldn''t see the corpses in this place?


    "It seems that you have yet to witness the terror of my Blood River Spirit Killing Array ¡­" The High Priest had a gloomy smile on his face as he spoke to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    But at this moment, it was already too late.


    The High Priest suddenly shouted, "Manifestation Curse! To live forever, and let me live! "


    A strange thing happened. The pile of bones, which were originally lying on the ground, now came to life.


    In the next moment, the bones that Lin Tian had torn to pieces actually rearranged themselves and formed a new person ¡­


    Not long later, all the black cloaked people came to life.


    In the next moment, they all twisted their necks and roared at Lin Tian: "I won''t die!"


    "Tian, be careful!" At this moment, Xiao Yunhai, who was behind him, suddenly shouted.


    Lin Tian slightly froze. The next moment, he felt a pain in his chest. His body was actually pierced through by a bone.


    So it turned out that just now, at Lin Tian''s feet, there was a black robed person''s corpse.


    In the blink of an eye, the scattered bones formed into a black robed person. That black robed person did not hesitate and directly used a bone to pierce through Lin Tian''s body ¡­


    "It''s been a long, long time since I''ve suffered any injuries!" Lin Tian slowly turned his head and his blood dripped onto the ground. In the entire space, a strange fragrance instantly began to emit.


    Lin Tian''s palm slammed towards the black-robed figure that had injured him, sending him flying backwards.


    But at this time, Lin Tian, within the Divine Palace, suddenly released a string of rune power.


    As the symbol power landed in front of the black robed individuals, it quickly turned into a formation.


    "Dragon Lock Array!" Lin Tian let out a loud shout as a light barrier immediately locked down all the black-robed figures.


    Since he couldn''t kill it, he would first lock it up.


    Although the Dragon Lock Array did not have any extremely strong attack power, the most important thing was to trap these black robed people first. After Lin Tian had mastered his skills, he would turn around and take care of this trash.


    "Ru''er, how do I break this formation?" At this time, Xiao Yunhai also anxiously asked the beautiful woman beside him.


    She was the previous Holy Maiden, so she naturally knew Blood Demon Sect''s methods like the back of her hand. Thus, it was more important to ask her now.


    The beautiful woman called Ru Er shook her head. "The reason why the Holy Maiden is called the Holy Maiden is because of the power of the Holy Maiden''s sacrifice. The Holy Maiden used her own blood essence to activate the sacred art of the Blood River and formed this frightening Blood River Spirit Killing Formation ¡­"


    "There is only one way to break through this formation, and that is to break through the endless blood river, which is the source energy of this formation ¡­"


    However, if everyone was in this array, how could they break the endless river of blood outside the array?


    "So you''re saying that there''s no other way?" Xiao Yunhai''s face was filled with dejection, but he still didn''t give up and asked.


    "There''s no other way!"


    "If my guess is correct, you must be the core of this Blood River Slaughtering Formation ¡­" Lin Tian turned around, his eyes tightly staring at the High Priest.


    At this moment, he did not care about the black robed people inside the Dragon Locking Array. Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, he naturally knew that the array''s core was this High Priest.


    The core of a formation was the source of power for a formation. It was also its most fundamental lifeline.


    If he wanted to break the formation, he could only break the Formation Aperture.


    "Congratulations, your answer is correct. However, so what? Aren''t you still unable to escape death?" The High Priest had a mocking smile on his face as he suddenly screamed, "I won''t die in this formation. If you want to kill me, I''m afraid you will fail ¡­"


    With a shrill scream, the High Priest''s clothes exploded.


    However, it was not a beautiful and lively scene.


    Instead, an even more terrifying scene occurred ¡­


    At this moment, the old demoness had astonishingly turned into a green tree-shaped demonic beast.


    At this moment, countless vines were emitted from her body, and in an instant, they rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s entire body was currently boiling with blood energy. The injuries he had suffered just now had already completely recovered.


    The coiling dragon''s body was unparalleled. Any injury could be easily healed.


    But at the same time, within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, a hot light suddenly exploded out.


    "This is the first time someone has forced me to this extent ¡­" In an instant, the ancient dragon rune on top of his soul transformed into the body of a dragon. Then, it charged towards the High Priest.


    "Moo!" The dragon soul let out an earth-shaking roar, then charged towards the High Priest.


    In the next moment, another dragon soul rushed out from the Heavenly God Palace.


    This dragon soul had nine cycles on its body; it was the soul of the Coiling Dragon.


    Lin Tian had the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, and the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol had already merged back into one with the ancient dragon symbol. Thus, Lin Tian had summoned the ancient dragon symbol, and the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol was also moved and came out together with him.


    The power of the two dragon souls seemed to tear the entire space apart.


    But that was not enough.


    In the next moment, the third Dragon Soul Body rushed out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    However, this dragon soul did not have the two horns unique to the dragon race.


    This was a fake dragon!


    That was the Horned Demon!


    Lin Tian finally had to use the power of the Horned Demon. Normally, the Horned Demon wouldn''t act and any problems would be solved by Lin Tian himself.


    But when Lin Tian was unable to deal with it and there was a threat to his life, Horned Demon would unhesitatingly make his move.


    There was only one Ancestral Dragon descendant.


    Lin Tian couldn''t let anything happen to him!


    In an instant, three Dragon Soul Bodies drilled out of Lin Tian''s body, causing everyone to be stunned.


    The High Priest''s rattan also noticed that something was wrong. The rattans quickly retreated in an attempt to escape.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian coldly said: "Now you know to be afraid, but it''s a pity, it''s too late ¡­ ¡­"

 C374 Exterminated!

    A total of three Dragon Soul Bodies. This was Lin Tian''s last trump card.


    Lin Tian''s most tyrannical method came from the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    Of course, now that he had obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, his strength was naturally even more tyrannical.


    The two dragon soul bodies were actually just unconscious dragon souls.


    But the Horned Demon was different. He was a true conscious Dragon Soul Body.


    At this moment, Horned Demon was leading the two unconscious dragon soul bodies as they charged toward the High Priest.


    The three draconic souls carried a terrifying aura as they swept towards the High Priest.


    Now that the High Priest had turned into a Treant, he felt fear. However, no matter where she went, the three dragon souls followed her like shadows.


    "Moo!" In the next moment, three dragon souls appeared at the same time. In the blink of an eye, they caught up to the High Priest and pierced through her body.


    The High Priest looked at the three dragon souls in disbelief. Before she died, she too had transformed from a tree demon into a human body.


    However, she could only helplessly watch as the Dragon Soul Body penetrated her body. After which, she did not have a single trace of life as her body directly collapsed limply.


    As for the three dragon soul bodies, they didn''t have any intention of returning.


    On the contrary, they madly rushed towards the sky.


    At this moment, it was only vaguely visible in the sky, and without even thinking about it, one could tell that this was the power of the Blood River Slaughtering Formation.


    However, how could the Soaring Dragons from the Nine Heavens be restricted by a formation!


    At this moment, the goal of these three Dragon Soul Bodies was to completely break the formation''s bindings.


    "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" An enormous impact suddenly came from the area between the dragon soul and the barrier.


    The power of the formation shattered in an instant.


    Under the might of the three dragon souls, the Blood River Spirit Killing Array completely vanished into nothingness.


    "Bang, bang, bang." After the Blood River Spirit-Destroying Formation was broken, the black-cloaked people who were originally immortal also emitted explosive sounds from their bodies.


    In the next moment, all of the black robed men turned into dust and fell to the ground, turning into dust that scattered in the wind.


    "Moo!" After the three dragon souls broke through the formation, they raised their heads and roared angrily before returning into Lin Tian''s body.


    The Ancestral Dragon soul transformed from the Ancient Dragon Symbol and the Nine Winding Coiling Dragon Soul transformed from the Nine Winding Coiling Dragon Soul also returned to their original positions at this moment, charging towards the Ancient Dragon Symbol in between Lin Tian''s divine soul''s eyebrows.


    As for the Horned Demon, he fell into Lin Tian''s Divine Palace and he started to close his eyes to rest.


    "Hornless, are ¡­ are you alright?" Lin Tian was now a bit worried.


    The Horned Dragon was a fake dragon, not a true dragon. Strictly speaking, its power was weak because it did not have a source of power.


    Regardless of whether it was the dragon soul transformed from the archaic dragon rune or the coiling dragon spirit rune, both had the support of the spirit rune''s power.


    Only the Horned Demon was a pure Dragon Soul Body, and Lin Tian had a faint feeling that the true strength of the Horned Dragon was completely unable to erupt on this Sky Dragon Continent.


    Therefore, every time the Horned Demon attacked, he would overdraft the power of his Dragon Soul.


    Lin Tian then worriedly asked another question.


    "Brat, what do you think I am? A vase, how could it break upon contact?" Horned Demon slightly smiled, feeling a bit touched in his heart.


    This kid''s personality and potential were both excellent, and the key was that he was willing to work hard.


    It had long since determined Lin Tian, otherwise it wouldn''t have been possible for the person who used up all his soul force to help Lin Tian at such a critical time.


    It had to be known that once it had overused the power of the Dragon Soul, there was only one price left for the Horned Demon beast, and that was death.


    In truth, Horned Demon had been hiding this secret in his heart and had never told Lin Tian.


    However, it was fine just now. Breaking such a small formation wouldn''t have expended too much energy.


    Lin Tian then let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that because the Horned Demon broke through this formation, his spirit would once again fall into deep sleep ¡­


    However, there was no harm in doing so now. At this moment, the trouble caused by Blood Demon Sect had been completely resolved.


    The High Priest was dead, as was the Holy Maiden of Blood Demon Sect.


    The trouble with the Blood Demon Sect had actually been solved by Lin Tian alone.


    At this moment, the nearby Xiao Yunhai and Lin Tian''s Mistress were all staring at Lin Tian with wide eyes and did not recover from their shock for a long time.


    This Lin Tian''s strength was actually already this strong?


    Also, what happened to those three dragon souls just now?


    But they didn''t have the time to ask Lin Tian.


    At this time, Lin Tian had already rushed out of the dungeon.


    Not far from the dungeon was the great hall of Blood Demon Sect.


    At this moment, the Blood Demon Great Hall was filled with an incomparably terrifying river of blood.


    The blood-red river spiraled above the palace like a giant dragon.


    Standing below, even Lin Tian could feel the terrifying power contained in the blood river.


    Of course, Lin Tian could still hear the sorrowful wails of the ghosts and miserable screams ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much and directly summoned his grass.


    This grass was the Vampiric Demonic Vine. What it liked the most was the blood essence of humans. As for the other demon beasts, the blood essence of demon beasts, the Vampiric Demonic Vine would not like it.


    To be honest, even Lin Tian never would have thought that after thousands of years of hibernation, the Blood Demon Sect finally managed to collect the endless blood river. Unfortunately, the endless power of their blood finally came off on this little grass.


    Of course, this was a good thing for Lin Tian. The reason why he was able to completely destroy the Blood Demon Sect was because of Little Grass.


    Lin Tian also saw from this time how terrifying this Vampiric Demonic Vine was.


    Little Grass was also incomparably excited at this moment as she crazily charged towards the blood river.


    Thousands of vines grew from the grass and fell into the blood river like tentacles.


    The blood river rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Lin Tian then turned around and looked at his master and softly said: "Master, your disciple has come to bring you home!"


    In that instant, Xiao Yunhai was unable to hold back the tears in his eyes and couldn''t help but tear up: "Good, good, good heavens, you''ve grown up!"


    Lin Tian''s Mistress also looked at Lin Tian with her eyes red.


    "Before I came here, I had already told grandteacher about this. If they kill all the Blood Puppets that were trapped in Heavenly Star City, then I will have them come and join us ¡­" Lin Tian then said: "Looking at the time, it should be about time ¡­ ¡­"


    "Alright, let''s go home!" Xiao Yunhai nodded heavily, but he did not loosen his grip on the beautiful woman beside him, who was also Martial Aunt Lin''s hand ¡­

 C375 Where did that child go?

    At the same time, on the way from Heavenly Star City to Wangyou Village, a large group of people had arrived.


    Although there were a lot of Blood Puppets in Sky Star City, there were also a lot of experts from Tian Luo Kingdom.


    This time, other than Luo Tianyi and the headmasters of the Five Great Academies, there were still countless elders of the academy, as well as those of the Royal Clan, who came to pay their respects to the six experts of the Life and Death Realm.


    Under the combined efforts of these experts, the crowd had practically slaughtered the Blood Puppets that were surrounding the Heavenly Star City like rotten weeds.


    Of course, Luo Tianyi and Gu Qing Yuan didn''t hesitate to lead everyone to Wangyou Country.


    When Gu Qing Yuan had given Lin Tian the map, Luo Tianyi had been incomparably worried.


    The Blood Demon Sect was extraordinary. If it were any of the ordinary opponents, it wouldn''t be a big deal. However, this was the Blood Demon Sect! Gu Qingyuan was actually looking on helplessly as Lin Tian went to risk his life for the Blood Demon Sect?


    One must know that in Luo Tianyi''s heart, Lin Tian was his most valued student.


    Otherwise, he would have never said that if Luo Tian wanted to die in battle, he would have let Lin Tian be the next king of the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    However, along the way, they did not discover a single Blood Demon Sect member. In fact, not even the Blood Puppet.


    Occasionally, he would see a pile of bones by the side of the road, which could be used to prove that Lin Tian had indeed headed towards Wangyou Village.


    Thus, the crowd increased their speed once again.


    "Tian, tell me properly. What have you experienced this past year? How did you experience such a great change?" After the small grass completely swallowed up the endless river of blood, Lin Tian followed Xiao Yunhai and his master''s wife and left this place.


    Before he left, Lin Tian had even used his physical body''s power to completely destroy the entire Blood Demon Sect''s palace.


    Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but ask as he saw the white bones in the tent above the Happy Village.


    Indeed, the current Lin Tian had undergone a huge change.


    This change wasn''t just in terms of strength, but more importantly, in terms of temperament.


    The previous Lin Tian, even though he had experienced many tribulations, he still had a youthful temperament.


    But this time, when Xiao Yunhai saw Lin Tian again, he immediately felt that Lin Tian''s body seemed to be different.


    The current Lin Tian was even more calm.


    His entire person had changed.


    Lin Tian also gave Xiao Yunhai a general description of his experiences over the past year.


    Of course, there were a few crucial points that involved his own secret. Lin Tian had even vaguely told him about it.


    Firstly, Lin Tian was worried about this Mistress, and secondly, because of Lin Tian''s secret, he could not reveal the slightest bit of information.


    Once this was leaked, it was very likely that Lin Tian wouldn''t even be able to keep his life.


    When Xiao Yunhai heard this, his expression changed again and again, but in the end, he still let out a long sigh, but didn''t say anything.


    Lin Tian''s heart was slightly moved, but he secretly asked: "Master, is this teacher''s wife of mine okay?"


    A trace of astonishment flashed through Xiao Yunhai''s eyes, but when he turned his head to look at Lin Tian''s Mistress, he did not say a single word and only lightly nodded his head.


    This nod was enough to explain everything. Lin Tian didn''t continue speaking.


    Actually, just now in the dungeon, Xiao Yunhai had already expressed his own will, and would not abandon his master''s wife no matter what.


    Lin Tian had already seen through it long ago. The reason he had asked so many questions was only to confirm it.


    Only, Lin Tian was also suspicious. What had happened back then? What had happened between Xiao Yunhai and this Mistress this time?


    He actually allowed Xiao Yunhai to be so steadfast in protecting this Mistress.


    Back then, he had heard from Song Qingyu, the Bone Flute Young Master, that the Holy Maiden of the previous generation had been imprisoned by the upper echelons of the Blood Demon Sect for violating the sect''s rules.


    The Holy Maiden mentioned by the Bone Flute Young Master was undoubtedly the master in front of him.


    But back then, this Mistress had saved the Blood Demon Sect.


    Xiao Yunhai had told this Mistress of the news of the Qingzhou School secretly investigating the Blood Demon Sect. It was also because of this that the Blood Demon Sect had quickly moved their sect''s address.


    This was the only way to avoid the danger of destruction from the very beginning.


    Later on, Blood Demon Sect counterattacked the people who had been investigating the whereabouts of Blood Demon Sect.


    At that time, Xiao Yunhai''s seniors were all killed by the Blood Demon Sect.


    As a result of this, Xiao Yunhai was also expelled by Gu Qingyuan into Sky Dragon City.


    Of course, not only that, Xiao Yunhai was even poisoned.


    Even his sea of consciousness had been corroded by the aura of death. If it weren''t for Lin Tian opening the Divine Manor and helping Xiao Yun aside from the poison in his sea of consciousness, Xiao Yunhai probably wouldn''t be able to live much longer ¡­


    In this way, Xiao Yunhai should have completely hated this Mistress of his, but with Xiao Yunhai''s current posture, he actually chose to forgive her?


    This was also the most important reason why Lin Tian was so angry.


    But what exactly was the reason for this? Why was Xiao Yunhai still willing to protect this Mistress?


    How could the senior executives of the sect ban her and imprison her, even though she had clearly done a great service for the Blood Demon Sect?


    Lin Tian could not understand no matter how much he thought about it. However, when he suddenly turned around to look at the Mistress, Lin Tian suddenly saw a crystal pendant hanging around her neck ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian suddenly remembered. Right, he had forgotten a very important factor just now.


    Child!


    Lin Tian remembered that back then when Xiao Yunhai had told him about this Mistress, he had clearly said that this Mistress of his had spoiled Xiao Yunhai''s flesh and blood. It was also because of this that Xiao Yunhai had greatly lost his defense and confessed everything.


    Then, the reason why Xiao Yunhai was still willing to love this Mistress, and even wanted to protect her at all costs, was because of that child.


    Furthermore, the reason why his mistress had fallen out with the Blood Demon Sect and been imprisoned by its higher-ups was most likely because of that child.


    Lin Tian also knew that the Holy Maiden of the Blood Demon Sect had to have a perfect body because only a perfect body could sacrifice its blood essence and unleash its strongest power.


    When he was his mistress, she already had a child. Naturally, she was no longer a virgin.


    This was the only reason why the higher-ups of the Blood Demon Sect had ordered their master''s wife to be imprisoned.


    But now, the key point was, where was the child?


    It was as if no one, not his mistress, nor his master, would talk about this matter anymore.


    However, there must be a child. It was just that this child, whether he was dead or alive, where was he now?


    However, the guess in Lin Tian''s heart was that the child was still alive ¡­


    Otherwise, with Xiao Yunhai''s temperament, he would definitely not be willing to be cheated again.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t hold it in anymore. Just as he was about to ask, a surprised and happy shout suddenly came from not far away: "Lin Tian!"

 C376 Dustadine!

    The one who called out was none other than Luo Tianyi, who had led his army to meet up with Lin Tian.


    They had been rushing all the way, and in less than half a day, they actually met Lin Tian and the others.


    When he saw Xiao Yunhai again, Gu Qingyuan was both surprised and happy. Of course, what was even more shocking was that Lin Tian had actually saved Xiao Yunhai ¡­


    Of course, this also meant that Lin Tian relied on his own strength to completely destroy the entire Blood Demon Sect.


    Although Gu Qingyuan didn''t quite believe it in his heart, seeing it with his own eyes was the truth. He couldn''t help but believe it.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also saw the crowd and didn''t continue asking.


    But Lin Tian felt that he had missed something important, or perhaps a clue.


    However, that feeling was forcefully suppressed by him.


    When he saw Luo Tianyi again, Lin Tian also truthfully told him about what he had encountered in his journey, how he had killed the Blood Puppet, and how he had destroyed the Blood Demon Sect.


    Even Xiao Yunhai had repeatedly instructed him to do so. However, the person he was most worried about, his master''s wife, also did not say anything.


    Gu Qingyuan, on the other hand, saw the beautiful woman.


    Gu Qingyuan coldly swept a glance at Xiao Yunhai. Xiao Yunhai could only smile apologetically, but didn''t say anything.


    Of course, he''d return with a great victory.


    However, this great victory also came with an extremely heavy price.


    Other than the Azure Province Institute, the other four academies had all suffered a calamity.


    To Tian Luo, this was a huge loss.


    The students in the Five Great Academies were all top geniuses who had been selected from various places. They would become the pillars of Tian Luo Kingdom in the future.


    But now, all of these students were dead.


    Such a loss would cause Tian Luo Kingdom to be unable to recover even after twenty years ¡­


    However, the only thing worth celebrating was that the losses of the Azure Continent''s school was not that great. It also helped to preserve a certain number of students for the Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Of course, all of these were the hopes of the future ¡­


    Of course, this victory was ultimately due to Lin Tian. If he had not reacted in time, and had not sensed that something was amiss with Yan Wuhen, and had even killed Yan Wuhen in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, and then rushed to the Four Great Academies to kill all the Blood Puppets of the Four Great Academies, the consequences would have truly been unimaginable.


    If it was according to the Blood Demon Sect''s plan, then the current Tian Luo Country would have long since become a purgatory of the human world ¡­


    What''s more, Lin Tian practically still relied on his own strength to exterminate the entire Blood Fiend Sect. This already exceeded everyone''s knowledge.


    However, Lin Tian saying that he would not be affected by the blood river also reduced some of their doubts.


    Luo Tianyi, on the other hand, was busy with national affairs, because the four big academies had all been destroyed, including the Tigerwolf Battalion, which had the most influence on Tian Luo.


    Therefore, Luo Tian Yi ordered Wang Zhan to rebuild the Tiger Wolf Battalion as soon as possible. He even recruited a batch of instructors and students from the Qing Zhou Academy, and at the same time, he also continued to select new students from all over the Tian Luo Country.


    The other three great academies were also waiting for their turn to rise, and Gu Qingyuan was helping the king with these trivial matters.


    In an instant, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Lin Tian.


    He returned to the Azure Province Academy and continued to cultivate. At the same time, he also seized the time to help Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er, Fang Xing, and Du Feng cultivate.


    At first, it was just the five of them, but later, Chu Feng, who had just obtained his life, also joined the group.


    As the days passed, Xiao Yunhai was ordered to return to the Qingzhou Academy as the North Courtyard''s Principal. The previous Principal, Yang Qingtian, had also been transferred to the Royal Academy, and was in charge of helping Luo Tiannan to reorganize himself as soon as possible.


    Lin Tian also saw Xiao Yunhai for a long time. After a while, Lin Tian also asked a lot of questions.


    He already knew the name of his mistress, Mo Ru''Er.


    At the same time, he had also unearthed Xiao Yunhai''s secret.


    Sure enough, just as Lin Tian had guessed, the only thing his master couldn''t stop worrying about was that child.


    So it turned out that Mo Ru''Er and Xiao Yunhai had indeed developed feelings for each other back then, and that Mo Ru''Er had truly conceived her master''s child.


    Of course, these were all later, and in the beginning, Mo Ru''er had brought her goal to approach Xiao Yunhai. After Xiao Yunhai had completely revealed the secret and Blood Demon Sect''s revenge was over, Mo Ru''er discovered that she had already fallen deeply in love with Xiao Yunhai. It was also at that time that she discovered that she was pregnant with Xiao Yunhai''s child.


    However, it was already too late. When she found out that she was pregnant, she did not return to Blood Demon Sect and instead lied, claiming that she had continued to scout outside.


    The High Priest of the Blood Demon Sect naturally agreed with Mo Ru Er.


    He waited until Mo Ru''Er gave birth to the child and entrusted it to a farmer before returning to Blood Demon Sect.


    It was peaceful as such, but then, for some reason, the matter was exposed. That was why the High Priest ordered Mo Ru Er to be imprisoned.


    It wasn''t until later, when Xiao Yunhai came to find him again and Mo Ru Er revealed this matter, that Xiao Yunhai finally became dispirited and allowed the Blood Demon Sect to imprison him.


    Afterwards, it was Lin Tian who went to rescue them ¡­


    "Master, where is that child now?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "I don''t know. By the time your mistress and I went to look for the farmer, things had already changed ¡­" Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Then, did Mistress leave behind any token back then?" If that Mo Ru''Er still had a little bit of nostalgia towards this child, she would have left behind her keepsake.


    Sure enough, Xiao Yunhai took out a crystal pendant from his bosom and handed it over to Lin Tian: "There are a total of three pendants. When I first found out that your master''s wife was pregnant, one was mine, the other was your master''s wife, and the other was your junior brother''s ¡­"


    "Junior apprentice-brother''s?" Lin Tian took the pendant and asked in doubt.


    "That''s right. When your mistress was pregnant fifteen years ago, this child should be fifteen now. Isn''t that your junior brother?" Xiao Yunhai lightly said, completely unaware of the sudden change in Lin Tian''s expression and gaze.


    "Could it be, could it be ¡­" Lin Tian muttered to himself nonstop, his hand tightly grasping the crystal pendant. He seemed to have thought of something ¡­

 C377 Cues

    "Tian, what happened to you?" Seeing that Lin Tian''s expression was so strange, Xiao Yunhai couldn''t help but ask in confusion.


    Lin Tian returned to his senses.


    However, the surprise in his heart was overflowing from his words. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?


    And yet, such a coincidence had actually happened to him?


    Seeing the crystal pendant, Lin Tian Deng immediately understood why he had had such an indescribable feeling at that time.


    He felt that he had missed something important.


    At this moment, when he saw the crystal pendant once again, he immediately knew that he had missed out on something ¡­


    That''s right, this was the pendant!


    Lin Tian suddenly remembered that he had never seen this kind of pendant before.


    Somewhere in the past, he should have seen this kind of pendant ¡­


    It was just that Lin Tian couldn''t remember where it was. He had been thinking about it, wanting to recall where he had seen this pendant before.


    And this, would also be the most important clue ¡­


    At this time, hearing Xiao Yunhai''s inquiry, Lin Tian slightly shook his head, indicating that he was fine. But then he immediately said: "Master, can I play with this pendant for a few days?"


    "Kid, what attention are you holding back again?" Xiao Yunhai was stunned yet again. From Lin Tian''s eyes just now, Xiao Yunhai had already guessed that this brat seemed to have hidden something from him.


    However, since Lin Tian did not say it, Xiao Yunhai would not ask any further. He only laughed and scolded, but did not say anything more.


    "This toy is useless. If you want to play with it, just take it ¡­" Lin Tian respected him like a father in his heart. Didn''t he treat Lin Tian as his own? Xiao Yunhai naturally would not refuse whatever his son wanted.


    "Thank you master, I still have things to do, so I''ll be leaving first ¡­" Lin Tian thanked him before turning around to leave.


    "This kid, why did he suddenly appear out of nowhere?" However, he was not worried. Lin Tian was only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he had already reached the first level of the Star River Realm, who knows how many times more monstrous he was compared to back then. Thus, with Xiao Yunhai''s current strength, it was completely impossible for him to teach him anything.


    Lin Tian also knew what was going on in his heart, so he didn''t need Xiao Yunhai to worry about anything ¡­


    "Cloud Sea ¡­" After Lin Tian left, from a side hall, Mo Ru''er walked out.


    "Why did you come out? Has your injury completely healed?" Xiao Yunhai asked with concern, before stepping forward to support Mo Ru''Er.


    "I''m almost done." Mo Ru''Er smiled faintly before she asked directly, "Just now, did Tian''er ask about our child?"


    "You heard it?" Xiao Yunhai slightly smiled, then said: "It''s just a casual chat ¡­"


    "Chat casually?" Mo Ru''Er shook her head slightly and said: "I don''t think so. While Tian''er was talking to you, she had been asking about this matter the entire time. Moreover, she even asked you if you were going to take the crystal pendant ¡­"


    Hearing the strangeness in Mo Ru''Er''s tone, Xiao Yunhai frowned and said: "If you want to say something, just say it ¡­"


    "Cloud Sea ¡­" Mo Ru''Er sighed softly before nestling into Xiao Yunhai''s embrace. "I have a faint feeling. Tian Er, Tian Er, he seems to know the whereabouts of our child ¡­"


    "Hmm?" A bright light immediately exploded in Xiao Yunhai''s eyes, but it was soon replaced by complete silence: "You''re thinking too much. Our child, I think, might have long passed away from this world ¡­"


    Lin Tian returned to his own cave abode. Holding the crystal pendant in his hand, he was thoroughly lost in his memories.


    His memory wasn''t bad, but there were a lot of things that he didn''t connect together to think about. But now that he thought about it, Lin Tian still felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    He had definitely seen this type of pendant somewhere else, but now, he couldn''t think of such a thing.


    Lin Tian took a deep breath, then recalled it from the beginning, starting from the moment he left Sky Dragon Academy.


    On the eve of his departure, Lin Tian saw this crystal pendant from Xiao Yunhai''s place.


    Inside this crystal pendant was an auspicious beast, a Taotie. People used the Taotie to gather wealth, so there was no problem for the Taotie to exist on this pendant.


    Lin Tian held the crystal pendant in his hand, completely lost in his memories.


    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian''s body suddenly violently rose. With an expression of disbelief, he cried out: "There really is such a coincidence? Master and Mistress''s child is actually him! "


    Lin Tian took a few deep breaths before forcefully suppressing his excitement.


    He stroked it once more and finally decided to make a trip personally. After all, all of these are just his guesses ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly went to the Azure Province.


    That''s right, the him that Lin Tian was talking about was the Qingxuan Pavilion''s deacon, the younger brother that elder sister Hua had picked up. He was also his foster brother, Jiang Liu`er!


    Lin Tian remembered seeing the same crystal pendant somewhere. In the end, after thinking about it, he realized that when Hua Ruoyi asked Lin Tian for help that night for help to take care of Jiang Liu''er, Hua Rui had taken out a crystal pendant and the like. Only, on the crystal pendant, there was a ferocious ghost head.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare be certain right now, but he was at least seventy percent sure.


    That ghost head should be the Ghost Face Yan Luo, just like the Taotie on the crystal pendant. It was a folk belief.


    In other words, the pendant that represented Jiang Liu''er''s true identity was actually the same as his own master, Xiao Yunhai.


    Back then, Xiao Yunhai had said that he had bought three crystal pendants, and that was the right thing to do.


    So, the current Lin Tian wanted to ask for confirmation, to ask Hua Ruoyi about all of this.


    But thinking about Hua Ruoyi, Lin Tian had a headache. He naturally knew what Hua Ruoyi thought of him. It was just that Lin Tian still had not thought of a good way to deal with Hua Ruyi ¡­


    However, it was more important to confirm Jiang Liu''er''s true identity.


    Lin Tian dismissed the distracting thoughts in his heart. Using the Northern Courtyard''s teleportation array, he directly teleported back to the headquarters of the Azure Province Academy. He did not stop and directly went to the Clear Pavilion.


    If he could completely sever this secret and Hua Ruoyi''s feelings for him, then it could be considered as Lin Tian leaving Tian Luo Kingdom to participate in the thousand kingdom war. At the very least, he wouldn''t have this knot in his heart ¡­ ¡­

 C378 Jiang liuers identity

    When Jiang Liu''er saw Lin Tian for the first time, she thought she was seeing things.


    But after rubbing his eyes and realizing that the person in front of him was really Lin Tian, Jiang Liu''er almost jumped up.


    "Brother Tian, why are you here?" Jiang Liu''er looked excitedly at Lin Tian and shouted.


    Lin Tian carefully sized up Jiang Liu''er. Only now did he realize that Jiang Liu''er''s appearance was somewhat similar to his own teacher, Mo Ru''Er.


    However, from his face, not a single trace of Xiao Yunhai could be seen.


    However, like this, Lin Tian was able to confirm the guess in his heart that this Jiang Liu''er was definitely Mo Ru''Er''s child.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t dare be sure if he was Xiao Yunhai''s flesh and blood ¡­


    Seeing that there was something wrong with Lin Tian''s gaze, Jiang Liu''er couldn''t help but ask: "Brother Tian, what''s wrong?"


    Lin Tian then recovered his wits and smiled: "No harm, is Miss Hua here?"


    "You''re looking for Sister Hua?" Jiang Liu''er''s interest was immediately piqued.


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian slightly hesitated, then said with a stammer: "Yes, to find Miss Hua ¡­"


    "Oh, I knew it, Big Sister Hua was so pretty, how could Brother Tian not be moved?" Jiang Liu''er said like a little ghost. She then pulled Lin Tian and said: "Let''s go, I''ll take you to find Big Sister Hua ¡­"


    Jiang Liu''er would usually be responsible for recruiting guests outside the pavilion, which was also in accordance with his young personality. If he was allowed to stay inside the pavilion all day, Jiang Liu''er wouldn''t be able to stand it.


    At this moment, Jiang Liu''er brought Lin Tian into the Clear Pavilion. The maid at the side immediately cried out: "Sister Hua, your lover is here!"


    "Lover?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with black lines as he wished he could seal the maid''s mouth. That maid was Xiao Lan, who had met Lin Tian a few times before. She could be considered familiar with Lin Tian and was not afraid of him.


    "Xiao Lan, you damned girl, if you dare tease me again, I''ll tear your mouth apart!" At this moment, in the inner room next to the main hall, came Hua Ruyi''s voice that she hadn''t heard for a long time.


    Lin Tian slightly froze.


    However, Jiang Liu''er explained, "Ever since you left with Sister Hua last time and came back together, we all knew that you were Sister Hua''s lover. Now, Sister Hua is resting inside, but Sister Xiao Lan always teases Sister Hua, saying that you came, and Sister Hua still believes it to be true the first few times you came. She quickly walked out of the inner room, but the moment she came out, she knew that she was tricked.


    Lin Tian was speechless, this ¡­.


    "Sister Hua, are you really not coming out? A lover like you is really coming. If you don''t come out, we won''t help you pull him. He might just leave right away ¡­" Without waiting for Lin Tian to say anything, Xiao Lan spoke up again.


    "You damned girl, are you trying to eat or fight? Watch how I take care of you this time!" Hua Ruyi''s footsteps were immediately heard from inside. It was obvious that she was angry and wanted to teach Xiao Lan a lesson ¡­


    Ah!" Sister Hua just walked out and coincidentally saw Lin Tian. She suddenly let out a surprised cry and hurriedly rushed into the inner room.


    "I''m going to die, I''m going to die ¡­" Hua Rui''s heart was thumping. She thought Xiao Lan was just joking with her and didn''t pay any attention to her image. In fact, she was holding a feather duster in her hand just now ¡­


    It''s over, it''s all over. Hua Ruyi still had not recovered from her shock. When she had regained her senses, she rushed to the mirror in a hurry and started to examine her makeup carefully.


    After hastily fixing her make-up, Hua Ruyi then walked out of the room.


    "You, why are you here?" Hua Ruyi lightly paced back and forth until she was in front of Lin Tian. Then, she spoke to Lin Tian Ru with a voice that was as delicate as orchids.


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian Deng was stunned.


    This...


    "Puchi ¡­" Little Lan, who was at the side, couldn''t hold it in any longer. She pointed at Hua Ruyi''s face and said, "Sister Hua, your face!"


    Hua Ruyi was stunned, but then realized something and asked: "What''s wrong, what''s wrong with my face?"


    "Sister Hua, look at you! Look at your silly look!" Xiao Lan could not help but laugh. "There is nothing on your face. However, when I saw your lover, that infatuated look of yours, I couldn''t help but want to laugh ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Hua Ruyi immediately looked at Xiao Lan with a frosty look, and Jiang Liu''er, who was covering her mouth and smiling foolishly, "Alright, now that you''re all done with it, how about I report it to the higher ups and transfer you guys out of here ¡­"


    When Hua Ruyi said this, Xiao Lan, Jiang Liu''er and the other maids'' faces turned bitter as they pleaded, "Don''t, Sister Hua, we won''t dare anymore, we know we''re wrong ¡­"


    "Humph!" Hua Ruyi coldly snorted and said: "What are you waiting for? Why aren''t you going to work?"


    The few of them kept quiet and immediately left.


    Only Lin Tian and Hua Ruyi were left in the hall.


    When he had to face Hua Ruyi alone, Lin Tian still felt a bit uncomfortable.


    Hua Ruyi was also like this. When she wanted to face Lin Tian by herself, Hua Ruyi was truly at a loss as to what to do.


    "Miss Hua, this time, I came to find you because I have something to tell you. At the same time, I also came to ask you something ¡­" Finally, Lin Tian broke the silence and directly said the reason for his visit.


    "Let''s talk inside ¡­" Hua Ruyi nodded lightly, her expression returning to normal.


    After the two entered the inner room, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly took out the crystal pendant that Xiao Yunhai had wanted. He passed it to Hua Ruoyi: "This, Miss Hua shouldn''t be unfamiliar with this ¡­"


    "You, how did you get this!" Hua Ruyi also took out the crystal pendant that Lin Tian had seen once before from her jewelry box.


    Lin Tian directly received it and looked at it for a long time. Not bad, this crystal pendant was completely similar to Xiao Yunhai''s crystal pendant.


    "I might have found Jiang Liu''er''s biological parents ¡­" After a long period of silence, Lin Tian finally sighed and said.


    "What?" Hua Ruyi thought she heard wrongly.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly told Hua Ruyi everything he knew.


    Including Lin Tian''s guesses, of course, right now Lin Tian was basically certain of Jiang Liu''er''s identity. Not all of them were guesses.


    "That is to say, your master, mistress, is the biological parent of Jiang Liu''er?" At this moment, Hua Ruyi''s eyes were wide open, and her face was filled with disbelief.


    "That''s right!" Lin Tian nodded his head and then asked: "How old is Jiang Liu''er this year?"


    "Fifteen!" When she picked up Jiang Liu''er, she was still in her infancy. Obviously, she had just been born, and it had already been fifteen years since then.


    "As expected!" Lin Tian lightly nodded his head. His heart felt as if a huge boulder had been dropped onto the ground. Right now, he was completely certain that his master and mistress were Jiang Liu''er''s parents!

 C379 One day you will fall in love with me!

    Although Hua Ruyi still didn''t quite believe him, but now that the truth was in front of her eyes, even if she didn''t want to believe it, it was impossible.


    Hua Ruyi blinked and then couldn''t help but ask: "Sir Lin, so, what exactly do you mean by telling me all these?"


    Lin Tian Deng was stunned, Hua Ruyi''s words allowed him to think of an even more important question.


    He knew Jiang Liu''er''s true identity, and it could be said that he helped his master and his wife find their son.


    But after that?


    What was to be done after that?


    Let River Child recognize her parents?


    Not to mention whether Jiang Liu''er was willing or not, how was Lin Tian going to say this to him?


    Lin Tian muttered to himself for a long time before saying: "How about this, for the time being, I will not reveal this information to my master and mistress. As for Jiang Liu''er, you can probe him, but as for whether or not he is willing to recognize his own biological parents, that is his own business ¡­"


    After Hua Ruyi heard Lin Tian''s words, she did not agree nor reject them. Instead, she stood in her original spot and pondered for a long time. However, she did not know what she was thinking about.


    Lin Tian Duo and Hua Ruo Yi stayed together for a bit of time, but he still didn''t feel comfortable.


    Seeing that Hua Ruoyi didn''t say anything, Lin Tian indifferently said: "Since it''s difficult, then I won''t force anyone. I''ll take my leave ¡­"


    As he said this, Lin Tian turned to leave. However, Hua Ruoyi faintly said: "Sir Lin came to find me just to say these things?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian Deng stopped in his tracks, and turned around. He looked at Hua Ruyi and said: "That''s right, I came to find Miss Hua precisely for this matter."


    Hua Ruyi''s eyes dimmed, but she quickly continued, "I know, but Sir Lin, I don''t think there is a need to be too hasty about this matter. Jiang Liu''er knows nothing about this matter, and has lived with me for more than ten years. Now that he suddenly says that he has parents, I don''t know if he will be able to accept this fact in a short period of time ¡­"


    Lin Tian automatically ignored Hua Ruyi''s expression and nodded his head. Hua Ruyi''s worry was actually Lin Tian''s own worry.


    He might as well not think about it anymore. These matters should be left to his Master and the others to handle.


    This could also be considered as a matter of the master''s family...


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and then said: "I understand. Miss Hua, farewell ¡­."


    Saying that, Lin Tian took a step forward and was about to leave.


    However, Hua Ruyi once again spoke, "Sir Lin, is that fianc¨¦e of yours really that beautiful?"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he soon revealed a bitter smile. It seemed that he had to settle this matter with Hua Ruyi. He gently nodded his head: "In my eyes, she is the only one ¡­"


    Hua Ruyi laughed self-deprecatingly, as if she already knew that Lin Tian would answer in such a way. She lightly stepped forward and then arrived in front of Lin Tian. She then fixed her gaze on Lin Tian: "Then what about me?"


    "Miss Hua is naturally charming to the bone, so naturally it is a disaster. It would cause a city to fall and a country to fall. It is just that Lin Tian''s heart already belongs to her. I am indebted to Miss Hua''s wrong love ¡­"


    "Who loves you?" Lin Tian had not finished speaking, but Hua Ruoyi could not help but ask.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian abruptly raised his head and looked at Hua Ruyi who had a face as cold as ice. His eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, but he immediately let out a long sigh of relief: "I, Lin Dong, have abruptly ¡­"


    "Hahaha ¡­" Immediately, a bell-like laughter was heard from Hua Ruyi: "You, do you think I''m in love with you?"


    Lin Tian lightly shook his head: "This one takes my leave ¡­"


    "Why are you in such a hurry to leave before you''re done talking?" Hua Ruyi said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t say anything, Hua Ruyi suddenly opened her mouth and asked: "What do you plan to do next?"


    "Soon, it will be the Battle of a Thousand Kingdoms organized by the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. I will be representing Tian Luo in the competition. After that, I will join the Lingxiao Sacred Sect ¡­" Lin Tian replied honestly.


    There was nothing to hide. The Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms was a few months away from a complete war, and Lin Tian had been wholeheartedly cultivating during this period of time just to prepare for the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms. Joining the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was also part of Lin Tian''s plan.


    "Oh." Hua Ruyi softly replied ''oh''. Then, her expression suddenly became relaxed. It was as though she was feeling somewhat happy after knowing the plan that Lin TianAo had made.


    "Miss Hua, is there anything else?" Lin Tian asked again.


    "No, you can go now ¡­" Hua Ruyi spoke with a hint of complaint in her voice, "Am I a tiger? Are you that afraid of getting along with me? Afraid that I''ll eat you?"


    Hua Ruyi suddenly approached and made a movement like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Lin Tian coincidentally raised his head.


    The two of them had their eyes locked on each other, both their faces were so close that they almost came into contact with each other ¡­


    When Lin Tian smelled the indescribable fragrance from Hua Ruyi''s body, he immediately felt his heart start to thump loudly.


    Hua Ruyi felt a little unnatural, so she quickly stood up again and didn''t say anything more.


    Lin Tian gave a light cough before hurriedly leaving.


    "Lin Tian!" Behind him, Hua Ruyi''s voice sounded again.


    Lin Tian slightly frowned, but he still stood there.


    Behind her, Hua Rui''s tone was firm and serious: "Lin Tian, one day, I will make you fall in love with me, and be dead set on loving me!"


    Lin Tian''s heart trembled, he almost lost control of his mind. Hua Ruyi''s seductive bones were formed from nature, and she didn''t seem to have any pretentious actions or words, which was why she was especially bewitching ¡­


    This time, Lin Tian didn''t turn his head and directly left the inner room without looking back.


    Outside the inner room, there was no one listening. The matter that Lin Tian and Hua Ruyi had discussed earlier was related to Jiang Liu''er, so Hua Ruyi had activated the restriction in the inner room, isolating her voice.


    "How is it, how is it ¡­" When Jiang Liu''er saw Lin Tian come out, she immediately went up to him and winked at him.


    Lin Tian unhappily rewarded Jiang Liu''er with a chestnut and then asked: "A little brat, where did he move so many unorthodox things? The Great Destiny Fist that I passed down to you, did you properly cultivate it?"


    "I''ve practiced ¡­" Jiang Liu''er rubbed her head.


    Lin Tian looked at Jiang Liu''er with a complicated expression in his eyes. Then, he lightly gathered his spiritual will and passed down the Heaven Collapsing Palm and the cultivation path of a Symbol Master to Jiang Liu''er.


    He thought for a moment. Then, he gave his treasures to Jiang Liu''er and said, "I will be leaving Tian Luo soon. You must cultivate properly in the future. Remember that?"


    "You''re leaving?" Jiang Liu''er asked while blinking her eyes.


    "Yes, to the Virtuous Cloud Sect." Lin Tian said solemnly: "Liu''er, you will be my little brother from now on. Remember, I will wait for you at the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. When you come find me ¡­"


    "Alright!" Jiang Liu''er nodded her head solemnly.


    Lin Tian patted Jiang Liu''er''s head and returned to the Northern Courtyard.


    On this trip, the biggest mystery had already been solved by Lin Tian. As for Hua Ruyi, it could be considered an explanation. As for what she said about making Lin Tian fall in love with her, Lin Tian had selectively filtered it out.


    Cultivate ah, I still have to cultivate after this. The Battle of a Thousand Kingdoms is just around the corner ¡­

 C380 The hidden danger of the vampiric demonic vine

    After Lin Tian returned to the Northern Courtyard, he was in no hurry to tell Xiao Yunhai everything that he had discovered.


    He carefully thought about it. This matter really couldn''t be rushed.


    Firstly, Jiang Liu''er might not accept this fact. If he were to tell this news to his master and mistress, they would both have to look for Jiang Liu''er.


    At that time, Lin Tian could not guarantee what would happen.


    As such, Hua Rui was right. Later on, she would slowly communicate with Jiang Liu''er. There was still a long period of time before she could rush it.


    As for Hua Ruyi''s words, they caused a ripple in Lin Tian''s heart, but Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. Lin Tian still felt that it was because Hua Ruoyi couldn''t get Lin Tian, or perhaps it was a kind of vanity ¡­


    Thus, when Hua Rui saw it for herself, it became a joke ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian once again suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart.


    He once again entered a crazy state of cultivation.


    The Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms, which was only held once every ten years, was about to begin.


    Thinking about other things, he was somewhat distracted.


    Thinking of the upcoming Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, Lin Tian felt somewhat excited. At that time, they would gather all the experts from over a thousand of the top kingdoms under the Ling Xiao Saint Sect.


    At that time, the group of heroes would be gathered together. This would be the true grand occasion.


    In addition, since Lin Tianzhi had entered the Virtuous Cloud Sect, the requirements were even higher.


    Thus, Lin Tian had no choice but to once again enter the cultivation state of a mad demon.


    Before cultivating, Lin Tian slightly hesitated and began to count his harvests.


    He had obtained countless treasures in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, and of course, Little Grass had completely devoured the Blood Demon Sect''s endless river of blood ¡­


    This was what Lin Tian was most worried about. When he first tamed this grass, Horned Demon was also worried that once this grass grew too fast, it could affect Lin Tian, or even cause a backlash ¡­


    This was because the Vampiric Demonic Vine was not immune to blood.


    When the grass absorbed enough blood, it would go berserk.


    This was what the Horned Demon was worried about. Lin Tian naturally didn''t dare to turn a blind eye.


    At this moment, the grass was still sleeping, and it had absorbed an entire river of blood. As for the river of blood, the entire Blood Demon Sect had expended a thousand years of effort to condense this river of blood.


    Almost all of this river of blood''s power was absorbed by the small grass. Therefore, after the small grass absorbed the river of blood, it fell into a deep slumber.


    The reason he was sleeping was, of course, to digest the power of the blood river.


    "Brat, back then when I let you tame the Vampiric Demonic Vine, it was actually because of helplessness. If you didn''t tame this Vampiric Demonic Vine, you would have died in the Withering Bloom Swamp long ago, but taming this Vampiric Demonic Vine is actually a double-edged sword. This Vampiric Demonic Vine is known as the number one monster in the ancient era, one can imagine its ferocity ¡­"


    At this moment, Hornless couldn''t help but say.


    Lin Tian silently nodded his head. He also knew, but it was just as Horned Demon said. This was originally an act of helplessness, so he didn''t have any choice.


    "It''s because of the Vampiric Demonic Vine''s ferocity, from ancient times until now, I''ve never heard of a strong person being able to subdue it. So, you don''t have much experience to refer to, it all depends on yourself ¡­"


    At this time, Lin Tian could clearly see that from the stem of the grass, there were extremely small blood vessels. At this moment, from the stem of the grass, fresh red blood was continuously turning upwards and nourishing the grass''s body.


    The small grass was also slowly growing.


    Horned Demon continued, "In that endless river of blood, you also saw that there is endless blood, but that blood was filled with a brutal evil aura, a baleful aura, and also endless vengeful spirits. The Vampiric Demonic Vine absorbed that blood, and of course, it also absorbed the negative thoughts that were contained in that blood ¡­"


    "That''s why, as I said, you''re likely to be affected."


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head. Previously, when he had completely exterminated the Blood Puppets of the Five Great Academies, Lin Tian had already felt the tyrannical aura from this little grass.


    That was an extremely bloodthirsty desire. If Lin Tian had not been determined enough and had the Ancient Dragon Symbol protecting him, Lin Tian would very likely have had his will corroded by that killing aura ¡­ ¡­


    "That''s right, the final destination of this Vampiric Demonic Vine is the killing machine ¡­" Horned Demon seemed to recall the past and couldn''t help but sigh, "Back when the Vampiric Demonic Vine was overflowing, it only drank the blood essence of humans. As for anything else, I didn''t know ¡­"


    The Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine''s attack power was unparalleled, and there was no doubt about that. Lin Tian being able to destroy the entire Blood Demon Sect by himself was more than enough to prove everything.


    But if the Vampiric Demonic Vine''s power became stronger, then the very likely consequence would be that the Vampiric Demonic Vine would take the initiative in Lin Tian''s body. At that time, Lin Tian would very likely be corroded into a killing machine.


    What''s more, Lin Tian and the Vampiric Demonic Vine had signed an equal contract.


    This has greatly increased uncertainty.


    Lin Tian carefully looked at it for a moment and his heart suddenly moved. He couldn''t help but ask: "Horned Demon, since this grass is attached to my soul, then can the power of the Immemorial Dragon Rune help it purify the killing aura?"


    "Hmm?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Horned Demon was suddenly stunned. He had never thought of this question, but this method was somewhat feasible.


    After all, the Ancient Dragon Symbol was the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol. Purifying a trace of the aura of slaughter would probably be a piece of cake ¡­


    Thinking of this, Horned Demon hesitated and said, "I can give it a try ¡­"


    Lin Tian then attempted to summon the power of the Immemorial Dragon Symbol.


    The Ancient Dragon Symbol at the center of his soul slightly moved. After which, it emitted an extremely pure aura from within the Ancient Dragon Symbol. After which, it completely landed on that little grass.


    Little Grass''s body trembled slightly, and then, a surprising scene abruptly occurred.


    As the terrifying energy entered the grass, waves of terrifying killing intent were instantly released from Little Grass''s body. The blood-red killing intent looked extremely terrifying, but it was still constantly being extracted from Little Grass''s body like a silkworm being extracted from a cocoon.


    Not long after, the terrifying manic, bloodthirsty, and endless evil aura that Little Grass had previously emitted was all completely pulled out by the Ancient Dragon Symbol ¡­


    Lin Tian let out a long breath before calming himself down. Otherwise, it would be just as Horned Demon said, this Vampiric Demonic Vine was a huge ticking time bomb beside him. If he wasn''t careful, his body might have been smashed to smithereens ¡­


    Now that this hidden danger had been eliminated, Lin Tian naturally felt relaxed.


    Lin Tian''s gaze once again fell on the Immemorial Dragon Talisman that had just released its powerful might.


    At this moment, the Ancient Dragon Symbol wasn''t just limited to the Ancient Dragon Symbol. The Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol had also been absorbed by the Ancient Dragon Symbol. Thus, the combined power of the two talismans was naturally even more terrifying.


    Lin Tian''s eyes flashed and then he felt the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol. Lin Tian was shocked to discover that the current Ancient Dragon Symbol''s strength was actually more than ten times stronger than before.


    This was naturally brought over by the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask: "That''s right, Horned Demon, since the Ancestral Dragon gave birth to nine sons, then naturally, every Ancestral Dragon would have their own Destiny Soul Symbol left behind, right ¡­ ¡­"


    "Of course." Horned Demon faintly smiled and asked, "What, are you interested?"


    "If I can gather the other Destiny Soul Symbols from the Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon, I''m sure they would be even more terrifying ¡­" Lin Tian asked with some yearning.


    Ancestral Dragon 9 Child, Coiling Dragon is the king of the earth, so it has a dragon refining body. The other 8 Children all inherited different Ancestral Dragon techniques, so wouldn''t it be even more terrifying if the other 8 Children''s spirit talismans were collected?


    "Kid, if one day you manage to collect all of the Ancestral Dragon Nine Souls from our ancestors, it might not be a good thing ¡­" Horned Demon softly sighed, but he didn''t say anything else.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. What? Listening to what Horned Demon said, could it be that the Ancestral Dragon Nine Child''s Destiny Soul Symbol was hiding some sort of enormous secret?


    But at this moment, Lin Tian thought of another question. Lin Tian should have asked this question a long time ago, but he never did.


    That was the problem with the Destiny Soul Symbol itself.


    As a Symbol Master, Lin Tian naturally knew that a Symbol Master''s Destiny Soul Symbol was almost equivalent to a second soul. Once the Destiny Soul Symbol was peeled off, that basically meant that the Symbol Master was already dead.


    The dragon race naturally had the same logic.


    It was naturally normal for him to obtain the Archaic Dragon Talisman, because the Archaic Dragon Talisman was the Ancestral Dragon''s spirit talisman. However, the Ancestral Dragon had long since fallen, so there was naturally nothing wrong with it.


    But how to explain the coiling dragon talisman? Could it be that the nine coiling dragons had also fallen?


    Lin Tian suddenly felt that this matter was a bit too unimaginable, but just as he was about to ask the Horned Demon for clarity, the Horned Demon didn''t say another word and disappeared from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Lin Tian thought about it for a long time but still could not think of a reason. He decided to just forget about it and with a thought, he directly left his own Divine Palace.


    After his consciousness returned to his body, Lin Tian once again continued to count the treasures he had obtained.


    With a thought, the stone tablet space inside the Divine Palace immediately came out from the Divine Palace and landed in front of Lin Tian.


    This monolith had been obtained from the original Azure Province''s First Dean, Xiao Kuangge. However, before this, Lin Tian had always used it as a storage space.


    In it was all of Lin Tian''s current treasures ¡­ ¡­

 C381 Sintered earth!

    Currently, Lin Tian only lightly tapped and then slowly took out the items within the stone tablet.


    First was the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse.


    In the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, the harvest of the Earth Terminus Puppet Yin Corpse was extremely huge. The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had absorbed all the Nightmare Qi in the mountains.


    Now, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, its entire body was jade like the Wind God. Its skin was full and shiny, as if it was asleep.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly controlled the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to sit down cross-legged. Then, he lightly tapped and the surrounding soil immediately surged open. Not long after, a huge crack appeared in Lin Tian''s cave and the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse directly jumped in.


    The method of controlling the earth naturally came from the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol that Lin Tian had just obtained.


    The Nine Winding Coiling Dragon was also known as the ''Coiling Dragon of the Earth''. It was the King of the Earth; naturally, it could control the power of the Earth.


    As a result, this level of power was something that Lin Tian could control from birth after obtaining the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    Underground, the Baleful Yin Force was the heaviest, so it was called the Earth Fiend.


    The Yin Corpses were actually refined by the Earth Terminus power, and right now, there was still a long way to go until the war between the thousands of countries. The Earth Terminus Yin Corpses naturally had to be nurtured.


    Lin Tian had almost never used it before, but this trip to the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, perhaps he would have to use it.


    Aside from the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, within the stone tablet space, there was also the treasure that Lin Tian had obtained in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, as well as an endless amount of spirit stones.


    After the last transaction with the white light, Lin Tian had obtained several million spirit stones and several tens of thousands of quick spirit crystals. Just this level of resources was enough to occupy almost the entire space of the stone tablet ¡­


    Lin Tian thought about it and then summoned the Celestial Mouse.


    At this moment, the Celestial Mouse was sweating profusely. Hearing Lin Tian call it out, it seemed rather dissatisfied: "Brat, if you''re fine, don''t disturb me, Ancestor. I''m busy right now ¡­."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he asked with some surprise: "What are you busy with?"


    "Ancestor, my equipment is about to be replaced..." The Celestial Mouse said proudly: "Do you remember that time in the dungeon, when I helped your master and mistress to break that chain?"


    "Of course I remember. The material is Myriad Xuan Iron ¡­" Lin Tian nodded his head and replied.


    "That''s right, it''s the Myriad Xuan Iron. I won''t hide it from you. This time, Ancestor has struck gold ¡­" The Celestial Mouse was overjoyed. "Ancestor was born with the Heaven''s Eyes and a spiritual nose. He was born with the ability to steal tombs ¡­ Cough cough, an expert at excavating almighty''s tomb, but even the heavens are jealous of the ancestor''s talent, so the ancestor does not have a strong physical body or sharp claws ¡­ "


    "Therefore, Ancestor had no choice but to create his own tools ¡­" The Celestial Mouse smiled and took out an oddly-shaped weapon from his pocket. He said, "This is the Thousand Revolution Slicer. Basically, it can cut any weapon, even that lousy spear of yours ¡­"


    Saying this, he handed the Thousand Revolution Scissor over to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian carefully sized up the Thousand Revolution Shears. His heart moved and then asked: "Then, can you help me remold my Dragon Scale Spear again?"


    The materials for the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hands were ordinary. What was unique was that this spear was imbued with the will of the dragon race, so Lin Tian was able to use it extremely smoothly.


    "Un, seeing that you have given me the Ten Thousand Year Dark Iron, the ancestor will naturally agree to it. After all, there are still a lot of ingredients that have not been used up, it would be a waste to leave them ¡­" The Celestial Mouse did not hesitate and directly agreed to Lin Tian''s request.


    Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly gave the Dragon Scale Spear to the Celestial Mouse.


    "Is there anything else? Is this the reason you sought for the ancestor?" The Celestial Mouse was about to return to Lin Tian''s body, but it asked another question.


    "Oh, I''m looking for you to ask you. Do you know what material this stone tablet is made of?" Lin Tian Deng said.


    "Monolith?" The Celestial Rat had a look of doubt in his eyes, then he pointed to the stone tablet in front of Lin Tian, "You''re talking about this thing, right?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded.


    The Celestial Mouse did not hesitate as he walked up to the stone monument and lightly knocked on the stone monument. He then shook his head and said, "It is only an ordinary stone monument. I can''t see anything extraordinary about it ¡­"


    However, just as he finished speaking, the Celestial Rat''s ears twitched and he stopped walking back.


    "Eh ¡­" The Celestial Mouse let out a light ''eh'' before turning around. He muttered to Lin Tian: "It seems like something isn''t right ¡­ ¡­"


    The prehistoric variant, the Skypiercing Mouse, was actually called a Treasure Seeking Mouse. It was the most suitable mouse for inspection.


    This was their talent, and it was almost an instinctive one as well ¡­


    Lin Tian guessed, at that time Xiao Kuangge had only left Lin Tian two things, the same Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, of course there was also the method of controlling Yin Corpses, the Great Puppet Technique.


    And the other thing was naturally this stone tablet.


    To be honest, Lin Tian had already been suspicious of this stone tablet. He felt that it wasn''t just a storage space.


    The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was powerful and precious, it was impossible for this stone tablet to have no special uses at all, it was truly an ordinary space that could only be used for storage ¡­


    It was just that before, Lin Tian could only have doubts. He himself could not discover any peculiarities of the stone tablet, even the Horned Demon was not good enough.


    Now that he had obtained the Celestial Mouse, it was naturally the mouse who used all of its talent. Let it properly investigate what was so strange about the stone tablet ¡­


    While he was pondering, the Celestial Mouse had already started to circle the stone tablet a few times.


    Lin Tian was about to ask something, but the Heavenly Mouse took out a small hammer from its own pocket.


    It gently brandished the hammer in its hand and rapped it a few times on the stone tablet.


    The stone tablet only emitted a clear sound. Aside from this, there was no other reaction.


    "Un, did the Royal Elder see wrongly or did he hear wrongly?" The Celestial Mouse had a surprised expression on his face. But just now, when he was tapping his fingers on the stone tablet, he had clearly heard something different.


    Moreover, he had already used his Heaven''s Eyes to check the stone tablet just now, but he didn''t find anything strange.


    "No, Ancestor does not believe ¡­" The Celestial Rat took out another bizarre looking tool from his pocket.


    These tools, with a glance, one can tell that these are the newly forged tools from the Ten Thousand Year Dark Iron that the Celestial Mouse just used. They are all completely brand-new, and they emit a biting cold light ¡­


    Knock, knock, knock, hammer, pick, he had used almost every method available, but that stone tablet still did not have any changes, nor did anything unusual happen ¡­


    "Could it be that the forefather has seen wrongly, or heard wrongly?" The Celestial mouse sat down on the floor and stared at the stone tablet in a daze.


    "Kid, do you believe in Ancestor?" After being silent for a long time, the Celestial Mouse suddenly stood up and asked Lin Tian.


    "Of course ¡­" Lin Tian nodded, but there was some hesitation in his tone. He then asked: "What do you mean?"


    "I know that your physical strength is peerless. Now, go all out and attack this stone monument. Remember, don''t hold back ¡­" The Celestial Mouse calmly faced Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian wanted to ask why, but the Celestial Mouse opened his mouth once again, "If you believe me, then don''t ask too much. Just do as the Ancestor says. If you don''t believe me, then the Ancestor won''t have wasted his time ¡­"


    Lin Tian Deng didn''t ask anymore questions. After hesitating for a while, he decided to follow what the Celestial Mouse said. He adjusted his strength to its best and threw a punch at the stone tablet.


    At this moment, he had already taken everything out from the stone tablet, and with this, even if the stone tablet was unable to withstand his strength and directly shattered, Lin Tian was no longer afraid. At most, he would only have one more storage space, and would not lose too much ¡­


    "Bang bang!" The power of Lin Tian''s punch almost shook the entire cave and began to shake violently.


    When that unparalleled fist strike landed on the stone stele, the stone tablet didn''t react at all.


    But when Lin Tian mustered his strength to throw out the second fist, from the stone tablet, suddenly came a soft ''kacha'' sound ¡­


    In the next moment, the stone tablet was covered with countless cracks and marks. Not long later, the stone tablet cracked and shattered into pieces, and the entire stone tablet completely crumbled, turning into a pile of stone fragments ¡­


    "This ¡­" The doubt and astonishment in Lin Tian''s heart became even more intense. Just as he was about to ask, the Celestial Mouse still waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for Lin Tian to say anything more. Then, he sat on the ground and stared unblinkingly at the stone tablet.


    Lin Tian didn''t understand what was going on. While feeling somewhat regretful in his heart, he also stared fixedly at the Celestial Mouse and the stone tablet.


    After who knows how long, Lin Tian was suddenly shocked. He fiercely rubbed his eyes and then looked again. This time, Lin Tian was completely shocked ¡­.


    He thought he was wrong because the stone tablet fragment suddenly moved. Afterwards, Lin Tian was shocked to discover that this stone tablet fragment was actually slowly growing and fusing.


    That''s right, it was like a human''s injured wound. It would actually heal on its own ¡­


    "Even crushed stones can grow. Could it be, could it be ¡­" Just at this moment, in Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, a surprised voice suddenly sounded out.


    "Haha, I knew it! How could the Patriarch''s Heaven''s Eyes and the Wind Ear be mistaken? They couldn''t be wrong either!" The Celestial mouse abruptly stood up as it quietly watched the growth of the stone tablet.


    After a while, without waiting for Lin Tian to ask, the Celestial Mouse replied first: "Boy, that''s right, the rocks grow and contain 10,000 worlds. In this stone tablet, there is the ancient Divine Earth!"


    "It''s Swelling Earth!" Within the Divine Palace, Horned Demon''s surprised voice also gave an affirmative answer.


    The Swelling Earth of the Ancient Divine Land!


    Lin Tian''s heart went blank. He clearly didn''t expect that there would be such a treasure within the stone tablet ¡­.

 C382 Extreme violet jade

    Swelling earth was the ancient Divine Land. Even if it was growing, it would still be able to do so.


    This was a type of divine land that was recorded in ancient books that Lin Tian had read before.


    This type of soil could grow indefinitely and was extremely powerful.


    No wonder this monument could form space. After enduring Lin Tian''s almost destructive attack, it could still heal and grow back.


    It was no wonder that Xiao Kuangge had left this stone tablet for Lin Tian.


    "Brat, you don''t have to be too happy. Not all of the stone tablets are made from Swelling Earth, but there is a sliver of the Swelling Earth''s power left inside the stone tablet ¡­" The Celestial Mouse muttered to himself.


    "However, this will not trouble the Ancestor. Hand this stone tablet over to me. The ancestor will guarantee that he can refine a sliver of the Swelling Earth Divine Land from this stone tablet for you ¡­" The Heavenly Mouse continued.


    It was a prehistoric species, and it was naturally fond of things like heavenly and earthly treasures.


    Especially towards some rare materials, it could be said to be even more fanatical and unrelenting.


    Now that it saw the divine earth''s Swelling Earth, how could the Celestial Mouse miss out on it?


    Lin Tian seemed to be able to understand this Celestial Mouse''s intentions and couldn''t help but ask: "Do you want to hide it for yourself?"


    After being seen through by Lin Tian, the Celestial Mouse''s face turned red, and then he berated: "What a brat, my ancestor is a Celestial Mouse, I haven''t seen what kind of treasure it is, to dare say that my ancestor covets such a material from you ¡­ ¡­"


    As he said that, he continued to chattering, "You know, back in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm, more than half of the treasures collected by the many precious saints were taken by you. You didn''t even bother to thank me, what, the patriarch wants to use some of your materials, are you not willing?"


    Lin Tian shook his head: "That''s not true. The stronger you are, the more help I can get ¡­ ¡­"


    "Isn''t that right? Kid, you are still sensible ¡­" The heavenly mouse''s face revealed a sliver of pride before it responded.


    "Since that''s the case, there''s no time to lose. You should go and purify these materials. Remember, forge my spear properly as well." The stronger the Heavenly Mouse was, the greater its help would be. This was also something that Lin TianAo could see, he was afraid that there would be a lot of areas where he would need to use this Heavenly Mouse, there was no need to make it unhappy just because of some materials.


    Although the Divine Earth Resting Dirt was a divine object, Lin Tian didn''t have any methods to refine it within the stone tablet. Not to mention him, it couldn''t even be considered a Horned Demon. He could only rely on the Celestial Mouse.


    "Rest assured, since I''ve obtained your benefits, I will definitely do my best to rebuild this spear for you ¡­" The Celestial Mouse was unable to contain its joy and hurriedly nodded his head. Just as it was about to leave, Lin Tian once again called out to it.


    "You know a lot, but what should I do with my spirit stones?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    When the stone tablet was destroyed, it naturally lacked a storage space. In fact, this was not a problem because the inside of the Ancient Dragon Symbol was a storage space. However, the storage space within the Ancient Dragon Symbol was too small and narrow, unable to store so many things.


    Thus, Lin Tian asked.


    After all, he had millions of spirit stones just like the ones he had in the Heavenly Net Secret Realm.


    "These Spirit Stones are not difficult to deal with. Don''t you have the Spirit Jade?" The Celestial Rat asked in surprise.


    "Spirit jade?" Only then did Lin Tian''s heart move, as if he had guessed the Celestial Mouse''s intentions.


    "That''s right, those spirit jades can store a large amount of Spiritual Energy. You can just refine the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stone and store it in those spirit jades ¡­" The Heavenly Mouse said as he gave his advice.


    Lin Tian''s movements were not slow. As soon as the Celestial Mouse finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, Lin Tian had already refined over ten thousand spirit stones. The spirit stones were all gathered in Lin Tian''s hands, forming an extremely terrifying mass of spirit energy.


    As for the spirit stones that had been refined, they had now turned into a pile of dust and quietly scattered.


    Lin Tian took out a spirit jade and sent the spirit energy ball into it. Not long after, the spirit jade''s color turned from white to a faint green.


    Not long after, after all the Spiritual Energy balls in Lin Tian''s hands were sent into the Spirit Jade, it finally turned completely green and green. It seemed quite extraordinary.


    A spirit jade does not compare to spirit stones, but it is a special storage space. It is just that it is used to store spirit energy, and these spirit jades are called Extreme Violet Jade, in other words, the spirit jade is filled to the brim with spirit energy, the entire piece is purple, so the name, this level of spirit jade, can be considered a rare treasure in this world. If it wasn''t for the fact that he loved treasures so much back then, it would be impossible to collect such treasures. As the Celestial Mouse spoke, he couldn''t help but shake his head.


    Lin Tian nodded.


    Since it was called Extreme Violet Jade, then it proved that the jade should be filled with purple spirit energy and not the current green.


    Lin Tian had a plan in his heart. Without hesitation, he refined another ten thousand spirit stones and injected the ball of spiritual energy into it again.


    At this point, the spirit jade was only a dark green color. It was a deeper shade of green and could drip out green spirit liquid.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and continued to refine over ten thousand spirit stones. This time, his spirit energy was finally sufficient.


    On the spirit jade, the color changed as the green color reached its peak.


    As the cycle continued, Lin Tian spent a total of a hundred thousand spirit stones to reach Zi Ji ¡­


    In this way, the question that puzzled Lin Tian immediately disappeared. He had obtained several hundred pieces of spiritual jades. These few million spirit stones were far from enough ¡­


    Spirit jades were different from spirit stones, and they were also different from spirit crystals. Whether it was spirit stones or spirit crystals, they were all one-time consumables. However, spirit jades were different. Spirit jades were a treasure used to store spirit energy.


    After filling the interior with spirit energy and expending it all, the spirit jade was still there. He could continue to store spirit energy and recycle it.


    When spirit stones and spirit crystals absorbed all the spiritual power within them, they would turn into powder and disappear into nothingness.


    Furthermore, the stronger aspect of the spirit jade was that the spirit jade could automatically absorb the spirit energy between heaven and earth. This was why the spirit jade was the most powerful.


    Lin Tian had obtained several hundred pieces of spirit jade, which was already considered a treasure.


    After solving this problem, Lin Tian was no longer puzzled. The Celestial Mouse also returned to its image and imprinted it on Lin Tian''s right hand. It began to recreate its own tools and also began to refine the Divine Earth, and at the same time, recreate the Dragon Scale Spear for Lin Tian.


    As for Lin Tian, he began to refine spirit stones and store his spirit energy in the Extreme Violet Jade ¡­

 C383 Farewell to white light!

    He didn''t spend too much time doing this again and again.


    A total of several million spirit stones were poured into the Extreme Violet Jade by Lin Tian.


    Even so, Lin Tian had only used a few dozen of these several hundred Extreme Violet Spirit Jades.


    As for the remaining items, they were all spiritual tools and rare treasures.


    These things were all obtained from the cave of the Celestial Mouse. Of course, the Celestial Mouse had also been excavated from the tomb of Sage Duo Bao.


    Most of the things were useless to Lin Tian, so Lin Tian was too lazy to pack them up. He let Hornless explain some of the treasures'' uses to him and left some useful and useless things in a storage ring that Lin Tian put away.


    There were many things that Lin Tian couldn''t use, but he could give them to others. His master and his wife, needless to say, there were also a few friends, Fang Xing, Du Feng, Gu Yan''er, and Ji Junge. These people, Lin Tian would also give some to be of use to them.


    Lin Tian was like this. Although he was vengeful in hatred, he had never been stingy in treating his own people.


    Not to mention, this was not of much use to him.


    After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian moved out again. He first distributed a few treasures to the crowd, and at the same time, allowed Fang Xing, Du Feng, and the others to pick out a few suitable weapons.


    At the same time, under Lin Tian''s supervision, it caused Ji Fang Ge and the others to once again sink into madness as they cultivated.


    The wars of a thousand kingdoms were imminent. As of now, Tian Luo had already reached the point where no one could use him. The four great academies, the royal family, the Wen Jian, the Misty Tiger and the Wolf Battalion, were all just waiting for the day when the time came for each kingdom to send out at least ten students to participate in the wars of a thousand kingdoms.


    Even if Mo Xiaolang, Luo Tiannan, and the rest were included, they would still be lacking people. If there were no surprises, then Fang Xing and Du Feng would follow them to the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms.


    So right now, Lin Tian naturally wanted to force them to quickly improve their own strength.


    As for Lin Tian, he once again left for the Azure Province.


    However, this time, the person he was looking for wasn''t Jiang Liu''er, nor was it Hua Ruyi.


    It was the president of the Symbol Master Guild, White Light.


    His purpose of coming here was obviously not for any other reason. Firstly, it was to look for the white light for spirit stones, and secondly, for the inscription technique.


    Lin Tian had been immersed in martial arts cultivation for a long time, so he almost didn''t deliberately cultivate his Symbol Dao cultivation.


    Moreover, the talisman dao he cultivated was mostly used for killing.


    Whether it was the Immortal Soul Sting, the Divine Punisher Shuttle, or the Dragon Bolt Formation, they were all meant to be used in battle.


    But Lin Tian put the inscription technique almost behind his head.


    However, when he asked the Celestial Mouse to refine his Dragon Scale Spear again, Lin Tian felt that it was time to practice the art of inscription patterns.


    However, it was a pity that the inscription technique had to start from the basics. He had no foundation, and he had never learned the orthodox inscription technique before. The reason he was able to come to this day was entirely because he had taught himself.


    So, after coming to the Azure Province Symbol Master Guild, Lin Tian still wanted to cultivate the inscription technique.


    Finding the light was an extremely easy task. He displayed his spiritual power in front of a guard standing in front of the Symbol Master Guild.


    The guard was so scared that he almost knelt down and repeatedly called him master. Master, it made Lin Tian very suspicious.


    But as long as he could enter, Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it.


    After leading Lin Tian to the VIP seats, there was immediately a maid coming to serve him. Some people directly went to report about the white light.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian quietly waited for the white light. He didn''t have the slightest bit of impatience.


    The white light came quickly. In just a few moments, the white light had arrived.


    "Senior Lin, you have come. I have missed you. Please don''t blame me ¡­" The white light just entered the door, after seeing Lin Tian, immediately greeted Lin Tian.


    With this action, the maid at the side and the Symbol Master that went to report it all widened their eyes and looked at Lin Tian with an expression of disbelief.


    Lin Tian coughed lightly, the white light immediately understood, and coldly snorted: "Why are you still standing here?"


    The two of them trembled like cicadas and immediately retreated. In this large room, only Lin Tian and Bai Guang remained.


    "Senior Lin ¡­" Bai Guang was just about to ask what Lin Tian came here for, but Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brows and said: "Chairman Bai, you should change your name. Senior, with your age, you should call me senior. No matter how I hear it, I feel uncomfortable ¡­ ¡­"


    Previously, he had seen Lin Tian''s Symbol Dao cultivation and knew that Lin Tian''s strength, was much stronger than his. Symbol Dao was not like martial arts, the cultivation of martial arts did not actually represent everything, because, in a true battle, it all depended on the strength of the opponents.


    For example, when Lin Tian was in the Aurous Core stage, he could easily defeat the existence of the Star River Realm.


    However, Symbol Masters were different. Their ranks were extremely strict, and the difference in strength was extremely great. Battling one''s rank was rarely seen among Symbol Masters.


    Last time when Lin Tian made a move, Bai Guang was able to feel that Lin Tian''s talisman dao strength had already reached the cultivation of a Rank 2 Spirit Symbol Master. Thus, Bai Guang had thrown away his face and insisted on taking Lin Tian as his master. In the end, Lin Tian naturally did not take him in.


    But Lin Tian''s Symbol Dao cultivation far surpassed him, so he naturally did not dare to cross it. He opened his mouth and closed it, saying that he was a senior ¡­


    Lin Tian naturally didn''t feel comfortable listening to her.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and then said: "How about this, you call me Sir Lin ¡­"


    "Sir Lin, when did you come to find me this time? Do you not have any spirit stones?" The last time Bai Guang spent several million Spirit Stones was to get the second level Spirit Convergence Array from Lin Tian. Today, when Lin Tian came, Bai Guang thought that this was still the case.


    His face immediately became excited. The last time he got the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array from Lin Tian, he bitterly cultivated day and night and finally successfully broke through to the Rank 2 Spirit Symbol Master realm.


    And at that time, he clearly remembered that Lin Tian had said that he had a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array.


    Now that he had a Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array, even the white light had broken through to the Rank 2 Spirit Convergence Array. If he could obtain the Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array, it was possible for the white light to rely on the Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array to break through to the Rank 3 Spirit Symbol Master level ¡­


    Thinking of this, White Light immediately felt his mouth go dry. This was a huge opportunity, he couldn''t miss it no matter what ¡­

 C384 Inscription techniques

    "That''s right. This time, I have brought you a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array. Of course, this Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array is naturally not something that can be given to you for nothing. You should know my price as well ¡­" Lin Tian drank a mouthful of tea and then indifferently said.


    "Of course, I have prepared enough spirit stones this time. I wonder if Sir Lin ¡­" The last time he knew that Lin Tian had a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array, when Bai Guang came back, he had worked hard to store the Spirit Stones. No matter the cost, he would collect the Spirit Stones.


    After such a long time, Bai Guang had almost collected all the Spirit Stones from some of the big clans and merchant guilds in Tian Luo.


    Right now, he had at least five million high grade spirit stones.


    So, since Lin Tian said he brought a Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array, the white light was naturally essential.


    Seeing the white light, Lin Tian was somewhat amused. Without any hesitation, he gently took out a jade slip and placed it on the table in front of him.


    Just as White Light was about to take it, Lin Tian suddenly extended his hand and pushed the jade slip back.


    He smiled as he took out a dozen storage rings from his chest and placed them on the table, "There are five million high-grade spirit stones here. Just like last time, I have also collected over ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals, I hope that young master can accept them ¡­"


    Lin Tian glanced at the ten or so storage rings, then gently shook his head.


    Bai Guang was confused. He quickly said, "But Sir Lin doesn''t need spirit stones. Then, what does Sir Lin want, I will go and prepare it now ¡­"


    "Hold on." Lin Tian softly said, then he smiled and said: "President Bai, don''t worry, I want as many as you have. These five million spirit stones and over ten thousand spirit crystals are enough to buy this third level Spirit Convergence Array''s inscription technique."


    "Then Mister Lin ¡­" When Bai Guang heard Lin Tian''s tone and saw that he didn''t have any intentions of pushing the jade slip over, he couldn''t help but ask.


    "Don''t worry, I have one more thing to ask of Chairman Bai ¡­" Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly said his purpose for coming.


    "I don''t dare to accept your advice, what business does Sir Lin have, feel free to speak of it ¡­" White light suddenly came to a realization. From what he heard, this Lin Tian just wanted to add additional conditions.


    He immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of Lin Tian increasing the conditions, just afraid that he would not give a condition, the value of this Rank 3 Spirit Convergence Array, could be said to be priceless, if he added any condition, the white light would almost be completely acceptable ¡­


    "I wonder if Guild Leader Bai is proficient in the art of inscriptions?" Lin Tian directly asked.


    "Inscription technique?" White light was slightly startled, but immediately reacted. He smiled and said: "Being proficient in the Dao of Symbol is not worthy of praise. However, Sir Lin''s cultivation is far superior to mine. His inscription technique should also be superior to mine ¡­"


    "Moreover, Sir Lin has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. I''m sure that you must have a master teacher teaching you. How would I dare to show off in front of Sir Lin when your esteemed teacher is here?" Bai Guang said again.


    In his heart, he firmly believed that behind Lin Tian, he must be taught by a peak expert above the rune dao. Otherwise, with Lin Tian''s age, how could he have such a terrifying rune dao cultivation?


    One must know that White Light had now reached the second rank of Soul Symbol Master. He was already in his fifties ¡­


    "To be honest, I know nothing about the art of inscriptions ¡­" Lin Tian gently shook his head as he spoke to Bai Guang with a bitter smile.


    "How is this possible!" Bai Guang asked in astonishment, "Your respected master didn''t teach you the art of inscriptions?"


    "No, my master only taught me the art of killing!" Lin Tian''s words carried a biting killing intent.


    Suddenly, the white light came to a realization and smiled: "If that''s the case, then it''s no wonder ¡­"


    He naturally knew that the talisman dao was divided into two types. The first type was the talisman technique, which was also the killing technique that Lin Tian spoke of. This Dao specialized in cultivating Spirit power. Using Spirit power as an attack method, cultivating the talisman technique was incomparably strong.


    There were a few Symbol Masters who specialized in Symbol Techniques. Their offensive techniques were not the slightest bit inferior to the orthodox Martial Cultivators.


    The other was the Dao of support, which was the Dao of inscriptions, the Dao of inscriptions.


    Attack was secondary to cultivating this dao, and it was mainly focused on cultivating the art of inscriptions and the art of inscriptions.


    Therefore, cultivators on this path were usually called Symbol Masters.


    Compared to a Symbol Master, the term "Symbol Master" was even more common and widespread in the Sky Dragon Continent.


    The runes that they were inscribing were extremely useful to martial cultivators. In fact, they could even inscribe inscriptions on top of their weapons, and the power of these inscriptions varied from thousands to thousands. They were filled with the power of various laws and laws, as well as other forces.


    Thus, once an inscription pattern was inscribed on a weapon, its might would increase greatly.


    This was also the reason why rune masters were so popular and respected.


    On the other hand, most of the talisman masters that cultivated the Dao of Talismans were actually talisman masters. Talisman masters that specialized in killing techniques like Lin Tian were already extremely rare.


    So as Lin Tian spoke to here, the white light immediately understood. He nodded his head and then asked, "Then, what does Sir Lin mean?"


    "What I mean is, can you help me cultivate the inscription technique?" Lin Tian said without hesitation.


    "Mm, if that''s the case, then naturally, I can''t refuse ¡­" Bai Guang hesitated for a moment before replying.


    "Un, if that''s the case, it would be for the best. Of course, this can be considered as an additional condition. Spirit Stones cannot be missing at all ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently said.


    "Of course, of course ¡­" Bai Guang repeatedly nodded his head and then stared at the jade slip in Lin Tian''s hand.


    "In that case, take it." This time, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly pushed the jade slip in front of the white light.


    As if he had received a precious treasure, the white light immediately received the jade slip and then placed it on his body. He was afraid that Lin Tian would change his mind again.


    Lin Tian found it funny but didn''t say anything more. He gently put away all the storage rings and then said: "Chairman Bai, I don''t have much time and I need to start from the beginning. There''s no time to lose, let''s start now ¡­ ¡­"


    He smiled and said, "In that case, I will not trouble you too much. If Sir Lin has never learned anything before, then I will start from the beginning. Within my Symbol Master Guild, there are over a thousand ancient scrolls, and they are all the basic manuals for recording the art of inscriptions. If Sir Lin has nothing else to do, you can go to that scripture room first.


    "This way, it can''t be any better." Lin Tian slightly nodded his head. Without wasting any time, he followed Bai Guang to the library.


    "This is the place." White light pointed to a row of bookshelves, and then said to Lin Tian, "These are all basic manuals, Sir Lin can slowly read them ¡­"


    "Thank you, Guild Leader Bai." Lin Tian nodded his head.


    "Sir Lin is too polite." Bai Guang smiled and said, "If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving first. Sir Lin can go to the top floor to find me if there''s anything you need to say ¡­"


    "Yes." Lin Tian replied and then walked towards the row of bookshelves, immersing himself in the sea of books.

 C385 Berserk streak

    Lin Tian''s inscription technique was naturally to start from the beginning. He originally had no foundation, so he started from the most basic of things.


    In less than a day''s work, Lin Tian had already finished flipping through all of the knowledge he had on the row of bookshelves regarding the basics of inscriptions.


    He was a Symbol Master and possessed extremely powerful Mental Energy. Therefore, learning these things was extremely fast.


    Now he understood exactly what the so-called inscription technique was.


    Inscription techniques relied on one''s Spiritual Force to inscribe inscriptions. Normally speaking, most Symbol Masters that started from scratch would first nurture their Spiritual Force. Only when they reached the realm of a Spirit Symbol Master would they be able to learn inscription techniques.


    Inscriptions had a source of talisman markings.


    The source of rune markings was the legendary Ancestral Dragon that left behind an ancestral mark.


    In the future, Symbol Masters would use the Ancestral Dragon Marks as their source, and only then would they be able to develop tens of thousands of talisman markings.


    The power of these runes was ever-changing. For example, there were flame runes. If these runes were engraved on a weapon, it would be able to increase the weapon''s fire-attribute strength.


    Especially for fire-attributed weapons, they had an amplification effect.


    In addition, there were ice runes, wind runes, earth runes, and other runes.


    The power of these runes came from everything in the world, and they all had unique attributes and powers.


    Of course, all of these were developed by the future generation of rune masters.


    This was the difficulty of becoming a rune master.


    Among Symbol Masters, the inheritance was the most important. A few powerful Symbol Masters had summed up their proficiency in the Symbol Pattern into a book. This was also what a Symbol Book was.


    Generally speaking, talismans were a secret that were not passed down. Unless one was a personal disciple, it was absolutely impossible to obtain such a top-secret inheritance.


    In order to become a Symbol Master, one first had to become a Spiritual Symbol Master.


    Training in the Dao of Talismans was extremely difficult to begin with. Wanting to step into the Dao of Talismans, one''s talent, fortuitous encounters and the guidance of a master of the art, all of these were indispensable. Therefore, becoming a talisman master itself was a rather difficult matter.


    Not to mention becoming a Symbol Master, there were only a few Symbol Masters in the Qingzhou Symbol Master Guild.


    The reason why Symbol Masters were so noble was because there were so few of them ¡­


    What Lin Tian was looking at were the basic knowledge of inscriptions.


    However, in order to truly inscribe talismans, one still needed to use a talisman book.


    Of course, not everyone had a Talisman book, and most likely only Bai Guang had one.


    Only in this way would there be records of all kinds of inscription patterns on the book.


    After Lin Tian had roughly grasped the basics, he went to look for the white light without hesitation.


    Of course, Lin Tian''s purpose of looking for White Light was not to ask for the Glyph Encyclopedia, but to ask White Light some basic questions.


    In this short period of time, Lin Tian did not need talismans because in his soul memory, there was already a huge hidden treasure.


    There were countless inscription patterns within the memories of the powerful Symbol Master that he had absorbed before. Therefore, Lin Tian guessed that the Symbol Master should be an extremely powerful Symbol Master.


    The inscriptions he had were all unique and powerful inscriptions. In his memories, many of them were the creations of that formidable Symbol Master.


    Naturally, he didn''t need to pursue things too far. Instead, he needed to ask White Light for the Talisman Talisman Codex ¡­


    After conversing with the white light for a while, Lin Tian cleared up all the doubts in his heart. Then, Lin Tian directly left the Azure Province and returned to the Northern Courtyard.


    After completely refining the five million spirit stones and pouring them into the Extreme Violet Jade, Lin Tian began to study the inscription patterns in his memories.


    Within the memories of that Symbol Master, there were over a hundred inscription patterns. From this, it could be seen that the Symbol Master was obviously a Symbol Master who was proficient in Symbol Technique.


    To Lin Tian, this was naturally a huge treasure trove, so Lin Tian first started to comprehend the inscriptions.


    The first inscription pattern to be comprehended was naturally used to increase the might of the Dragon Scale Spear.


    The name of the inscription pattern was ¡ª Berserk Mark.


    As the name implies, this inscription pattern was the symbol that would stimulate the most violent power in a weapon. This was the only symbol that would only increase the might of the weapon out of the hundreds of inscription patterns.


    Lin Tian practically didn''t consider other inscriptions and directly chose this one.


    If all went well, the Dragon Scale Spear would be forged by the Celestial Mouse. First, it would be added with the Mysterious Ten Thousand Year Iron, which would be even sharper.


    As a result, the toughness and strength of the dragon scale spear would greatly increase. In addition to Lin Tian inscribing the Berserk Mark on it, the might of the dragon scale spear would rise to a whole new level.


    Naturally, Lin Tian''s combat strength would also increase along with the increase in the might of the Dragon Scale Spear ¡­


    Lin Tian took a deep breath and completely abandoned all the distracting thoughts in his heart. Instead, he started to concentrate on learning the inscription patterns.


    The way to form an inscription was extremely simple. It was to use one''s Spiritual Force to give the source of power, and draw out the shape of the inscription, then it would form a formidable symbol.


    However, the greatest difficulty of an inscription was that the talisman markings were extremely complicated, and once one was slightly careless, they would fail.


    Lin Tianjiao carefully examined the veins and patterns of the inscription patterns. At this time, he quickly moved according to the diagrams and began to draw the symbols with his mental strength.


    First time, failure ¡­


    Second time, failure ¡­


    The third time, was still a failure ¡­


    Failing three times in a row made Lin Tian feel a bit disheartened. He originally thought that relying on his powerful mental strength, in addition to his mastery in controlling the mental strength, would easily succeed. But he didn''t think that losing three times in a row would be the end of it.


    "Kid, runes are already difficult to draw and I have no way to help you, but remember, no matter how you look at it, all of the runes in this world come from the ancestor dragon''s inscription pattern. You have the archaic dragon rune, so you can be considered the controller of the ancestor dragon inscription pattern. How could you let the other runes take you by the nose?" Seeing that Lin Tian was somewhat discouraged, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace couldn''t help but say a few words to teach him a lesson.


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian slightly froze before asking.


    "Do you not understand the so-called ''I am the most important, and am the most useful to you''?" Horned Demon said unhappily, "Don''t let the surface of things restrain your hands and feet. Just calm down and leave as you wish ¡­"


    Lin Tian seemed to have thought of something and once again entered the state of drawing talisman markings.


    But this time, Lin Tian failed again.


    But Lin Tian was not discouraged. On the contrary, successive failures had aroused his fighting spirit. Moreover, he was also unceasingly comprehending and transforming.


    All of the basic knowledge of inscription patterns that he had seen before now appeared in Lin Tian''s mind. He felt that his spiritual will had become clear, and any confusion no longer existed.


    After a long while, Lin Tian finally let out a light breath, then he smiled and said in a low voice: "Finally, finally succeeded ¡­."

 C386 The wonderful function of swelling soil

    After many failures, Lin Tian finally succeeded once.


    He also understood what Hornless meant.


    The him from before was too obsessed with appearances, but inscriptions were originally the creations of every formidable Symbol Master, and the most fundamental inscription came from the Ancestral Dragon Mark.


    In other words, every inscription actually has no fixed method of inscription. There are even many times that one has to utilize it on their own.


    Previously, he had followed the method of inscription of the Berserk Mark in his memory to inscribe it, but once there was a difference, or if there was a trace of a mistake in the path he drew, it would end in failure.


    But this time, since he understood the logic behind it, he might not necessarily have to map out the path within, and as he pleases, the inscription patterns ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian started to condense the Berserk Mark again.


    Other than the extremely violent power contained in the Wild Explosion as its name implied, there was another frightening thing.


    That was that this inscription could be superimposed.


    It could stack up to nine levels.


    In other words, when the Nine Layers of Berserk Mark were superimposed on each other, it would unleash the power of nine layers of berserk.


    If he were to use all of this power, it was obvious how powerful he would be.


    This was also the most important reason why Lin Tian finally decided to choose the Berserk Mark.


    This time, with the experience from the last time, Lin Tian finally got it right. He condensed the Berserk Mark again and almost never failed once.


    After condensing another eight Berserk Mark, Lin Tian stopped condensing it.


    Next, the most difficult part was to fuse them together.


    To condense the nine Berserk Marks was the greatest challenge. To be honest, Lin Tian did not know whether he would succeed or not.


    He could already completely grasp the technique to condense an inscription, but when fusing them together, it was Lin Tian''s first time trying it out.


    If he failed, all nine inscriptions would completely collapse, and all his efforts would be for naught ¡­


    Lin Tian once again took a deep breath and began his first attempt in the Divine Palace.


    With his previous experience in condensing inscriptions, the front fusing went extremely smoothly, but as it got closer to the end, Lin Tian felt that the nine Berserk Marks were all emitting extremely berserk power. They were practically fighting with each other, stirring up Lin Tian''s Divine Palace ¡­


    Lin Tian''s eyebrows were dripping with sweat, not daring to be slow in the slightest.


    Finally, after overcoming the last trace of restraining power, Lin Tian finally succeeded in condensing all nine inscriptions.


    But after completing all of that, Lin Tian discovered that his entire body was drenched. Not only that, even the Spirit power in his Divine Palace was completely used up and he no longer had any remaining strength.


    Almost all the energy in his body had been depleted and he was on the verge of collapsing.


    Lin Tian placed the nine Wild Explosion markings into his own Divine Palace before entering into cultivation.


    He took out a piece of Extreme Violet Jade and began to non-stop absorbing the power within the Extreme Violet Jade. The Spiritual Energy was completely devoured by Lin Tian, who then felt that the energy he had consumed had completely recovered.


    The Stellar River in his body continuously circulated as it flickered with starlight, restoring the Origin Energy in Lin Tian''s body.


    At the same time, the soul within the Divine Palace and the Ancient Dragon Talisman on his forehead also emitted rays of light and started to condense Spirit power again.


    After who knows how long had passed, Lin Tian finally recovered from the state of cultivation. At this time, Lin Tian felt his right hand slightly throb.


    Before long, the voice of the Celestial Mouse sounded, "Kid, brat, the forefather has succeeded!"


    It was hard to conceal the excitement in his voice.


    Lin TianAo knew that this was a success.


    In the next moment, the Celestial Mouse faintly flashed and appeared in front of Lin Tian.


    "Here, this is your Swelling Earth ¡­" The Celestial Mouse took out a piece of yellow soil from its pocket and handed it over to Lin Tian.


    It was ice-cold to the touch, but Lin Tian could feel the extremely powerful strength contained within the soil.


    "This is the Swelling Earth?" Lin Tian stared at the soil in his hand and felt a bit of astonishment in his heart.


    "That''s right. The Patriarch remembers that you seemed to be able to absorb the power of the earth when you were in the Tomb of Treasures?" At this time, the Celestial Mouse spoke again.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled: "You actually know about it?"


    "Nonsense, who is the Royal Elder?" The Celestial Mouse was about to boast when Lin Tian suddenly interrupted it: "Tell me about the uses of the Swelling Earth ¡­."


    "Oh, it''s useful. Actually, to others, the Celestial Land is just a special and powerful material, it has no other special uses. But you, boy, are different. Since you can absorb the power of the Earth, then this Celestial Land is the best cultivation resource for you ¡­" The Celestial Mouse didn''t waste any time as he directly explained.


    "Cultivation resources?" Lin Tian was even more astonished. He didn''t understand what the Heavenly Mouse meant.


    "Yes, the Divine Earth Resting Dirt was originally the most important part of the Earth''s power, and it contains all kinds of incredible powers." At this moment, he was introducing to Lin Tian: "Since you can absorb the power of the earth, then you can naturally absorb the divine power from the divine earth. Once you melt the divine earth into your own body, then, it would be equivalent to having the power of the earth ¡­."


    "With the Swelling Earth Divine Power, you can be said to be undying ¡­" The Celestial Mouse''s eyes glowed as he said, "The strongest power of the Swelling Earth is healing. In other words, no matter how serious your injuries are, as long as you activate the power of the Swelling Earth, you will be able to recover quickly. Even after you lose an arm and a leg, as long as you still have one breath left, you can recover!"


    Lin Tian was dumbstruck as he listened, his heart was filled with disbelief. This Resting Earth Divine Land was truly as the Celestial Mouse had said. He was truly immortal.


    The Celestial Mouse had said that Lin Tian could absorb the Earth''s power because Lin Tian cultivated the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body. The Coiling Dragon was the King of Earth. When cultivating the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique, the source of power was naturally to absorb the Earth''s power.


    But right now, what the Celestial Mouse said was too unbelievable, causing Lin Tian to not dare believe it ¡­


    If that was the case, since he cultivated the Coiling Dragon Body Technique and his physical body was already extremely powerful, if he were to absorb the Swelling Earth''s Swelling Earth, just how powerful would his physical body become in the future?


    Lin Tian didn''t even dare to imagine it himself!

 C387 Ready end of volume iii

    "Do as he says. Boy, I must say that you are truly a person born with great luck." At this moment, Hornless also couldn''t help but sigh.


    The words of the heavenly mouse were naturally true.


    Lin Tian originally had the body of a dragon, so he was already extremely strong.


    However, later on, he obtained the dragon clan''s number one physical body, the Coiling Dragon Legacy, and trained in the Coiling Dragon body transformation technique.


    Now that he had obtained the Swelling Earth, it was simply unimaginable how strong his physical body would become in the future.


    "However, don''t be happy too early. Since the Swelling Earth is a Divine Land, how can it be absorbed that easily?" The Celestial Mouse couldn''t help but splash a bucket of cold water on Lin Tian.


    "Absorbing the power of the Divine Earth will be an extremely long process. Don''t just look at this amount, you don''t know when you''ll be able to completely absorb it ¡­"


    Lin Tian did not mind. His physical body was originally unparalleled, but now that he obtained the Swelling Earth from the Divine Land, it was even more beautiful ¡­.


    Therefore, there was no harm in completely absorbing it at any time.


    "Have you finished refining my Dragonscale Spear?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "To the Patriarch, this is simple." As the Celestial Mouse spoke, he took out another weapon from his pocket. This weapon was Lin Tian''s Dragonscale Spear.


    Lin Tian slightly swept his gaze over it and discovered that the current Dragon Scale Spear was different.


    The Dragon Scale Spear from before seemed to be very sharp, but it was missing a flavor. One could tell that it was a dead object with no spiritual sense at all. In addition to Lin Tian''s strong killing intent, this Dragon Scale Spear seemed to faintly contain a killing intent.


    However, at this time, the edge of the Dragon Scale Spear had been completely covered by the Myriad Xuan Iron and the Swelling Earth Dragon Spear.


    The killing intent also disappeared. However, more importantly, there was an extra trace of intelligence on the Dragonscale Spear.


    This was the rare might of a Divine Weapon.


    This meant that there was a trace of intelligence on this Dragon Scale Spear.


    This was the most fundamental test of a Divine Weapon, the Psychic''s Head.


    Fortunately, the Dragonscale Spear was now showing some of its power as a godly weapon!


    Lin Tian nodded his head in satisfaction. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the nine berserk patterns that had formed in his Divine Palace.


    The powerful rune power, the moment it was taken out of the Divine Manor, Lin Tian felt an incomparably tyrannical power.


    Under the guidance of Lin Tian''s Spiritual Force, the nine violent markings landed on the Dragon Scale Spear in the blink of an eye.


    After the Dragon Scale Spear absorbed the berserk patterns, in the blink of an eye, it radiated with light. In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear suddenly stood up in the air. In the next moment, it turned into a long green dragon.


    The green dragon circled around Lin Tian once and then suddenly roared, "Moo!"


    The entire cave was shaken by the green dragon.


    In the next moment, the long azure dragon turned back into a long azure spear and landed in Lin Tian''s hand.


    Lin Tian tightly gripped the azure long spear and carefully felt the power that was being transmitted from the Dragon Scale Spear. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction.


    The Celestial Mouse stared blankly at the dragon-scaled spear''s transformation before crying out in astonishment, "What did you just add to the spear? The power of the spear was at least ten times stronger than before ¡­"


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and said: "Inscription!"


    The Celestial mouse nodded his head, then turned to Lin Tian Mei and smiled: "Boy, look at how much the ancestor has helped you. Now, why don''t you help the ancestor out as well?"


    "You want an inscription as well?" Lin Tian guessed what the Celestial Mouse was thinking and asked directly.


    "Yes." The Celestial Mouse nodded his head and chuckled, "You little rascal, you really know how to do it easily, you know how to do it easily ¡­"


    "Sure." Lin Tian nodded his head and did not refuse. His knowledge of the inscription technique was not considered proficient enough. It was a good opportunity for him to train and kill two birds with one stone.


    In the following time, Lin Tian did not think of anything else and once again entered into the insane cultivation state.


    With this tempering of the Dragon Scale Spear, it had already become Lin Tian''s greatest helper.


    Next, he had to increase his strength as fast as possible.


    Having been busy with these trivial matters for so many days, he had not been training properly.


    The battle of a thousand kingdoms was urgent, power was everything.


    All the other preparations had been made. The next step was to cultivate, cultivate!


    At the same time, the king of Tian Luo announced his secret order and began summoning the candidates for the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms.


    The final ten slots were decided one month before the battle of the thousand kingdom war.


    They were Mo Xiaolang from the Tiger Wolf Camp, Luo Tiannan from the Royal Academy, Su Xiao from the Sword Inquisition, and Jiang Ruoxi from the Misty Academy.


    These four people were the only top students who had survived the calamity that had befallen them in the Four Great Academies.


    With their strength, they were naturally the best choice.


    As for the only person who didn''t suffer too much loss in the Azure Province, he took six out of the ten spots.


    They were, Lin Tian, Ji Fangge, and Gu Yan''er.


    These three had participated in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm''s smelting trial, so they were on the king''s list to begin with.


    Other than that, Luo Tianyi deliberated and even listened to Lin Tian''s suggestions.


    The remaining three were none other than Chu Feng, Du Feng and Fang Xing!


    Du Feng and Fang Xing were recommended by Lin Tian. Originally, there were experts far more powerful than them in Qingzhou Academy, but Luo Tianyi still decided to respect Lin Tian''s suggestion and place them in the list of ten people.


    As for Chu Feng, he had already participated in the trial of the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm. In addition, he was the only student besides Lin Tian and Ji Fangge.


    After the names of these ten people were confirmed, they were distributed to the various academies.


    Not only that, Luo Tianyi also clearly stated that out of the ten people on this trip, Lin Tian was the team leader. Everything that happened would have the other students listen to Lin Tian''s arrangements.


    When Lin Tian received this news, it was already the second month he was in the Northern Courtyard.


    For the past two months, Lin Tian practically cultivated day and night. During the day he fought in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. At night he would study the power of inscriptions and cultivate his mental strength in his own cave.


    Two months was also extremely fulfilling, and right now Lin Tian''s strength had already steadily reached the third level of the Astral Reaching Realm.


    Compared to two months ago, this was an increase of two whole realms.


    His Mental Energy had once again leaped up a level, reaching the level of a Rank 3 Soul Symbol Master.


    It could be said that before the great battle arrived, Lin Tian had already prepared everything. In his heart, he greatly desired the Thousand Kingdom War.


    The Great Thousand Kingdom War, the Cloudsoaring sect, they would be the only stage to prove Lin Tian''s strength!

 C388 Supernumerary aegis

    Time passed in a flash and Lin Tian was already at the Azure Province Academy. He had continuously cultivated for three months or so and in a few days, the king would order him to head to the Imperial City to gather.


    Lin Tian had long since made all the preparations. Even before he left, he even told Xiao Yunhai about Jiang Liu''er''s background. This was the decision he had made after thinking about it many times.


    As for what happened afterwards, it was none of Lin Tian''s business.


    Lin Tian had left for the Imperial City together with a few other people from the Azure Province Academy.


    By the time they arrived at the Royal Capital, the other four people had already arrived.


    After all the students had arrived at the Imperial City, Luo Tianyi personally received them.


    After all, this time, the war for the 1,000 country would be a battle to the death for Tian Luo. After all, this war for the 1,000 country war would be a battle to the death for Tian Luo.


    It was the destruction of the nation and the destruction of the family.


    Therefore, it was impossible for the will of Allheaven to not take this matter seriously.


    However, Luo Tianyi didn''t say much. Instead, he called over the experts who had participated in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms to pass on their experiences to these rookies.


    The location of the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms was set up within the Cloudsoaring sect. As for the specific rules, there would be changes every year. No one knew what the rules were for this year.


    However, most of these people would be able to filter out the true combat strength, talent, cultivation, age, and heart of martial arts.


    Of course, because thousands of kingdoms had sent their students to participate, experts and geniuses had gathered. There were even a few that were hidden in the snow, appearing in the middle of the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms.


    Sometimes, in order to increase the difficulty, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect would even send out their own disciples to sneak into the selection site.


    If I meet them, even if I don''t die, I will at least be severely injured ¡­


    After a round of explanations, Lin Tian and the others had a rough understanding of this trip.


    Of course, they also asked a lot of questions.


    The seniors also answered one by one.


    After he finished imparting the knowledge, Luo Tianyi said, "Students, tomorrow, the representative of the Virtuous Cloud Sect will come and take you to the Virtuous Cloud Sect. I received a notice from the Virtuous Cloud Sect not long ago, this time, other than the ten students that are participating in the competition, no one else is allowed to go ¡­"


    Everyone shuddered slightly. This request ¡­ But it was the first time.


    In the past, no matter what, the monarchs of the various countries would be sent out as guests to spectate the competition.


    But this time, even the kings of the various kingdoms weren''t allowed to go?


    As Luo Tianyi said this, the people in the crowd looked at each other in dismay. It seemed that this Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms was not as simple as they had imagined. Moreover, it seemed that this Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms would definitely have many variables ¡­


    On the morning of the second day, Lin Tian and the rest once again gathered in front of the palace hall. Today was the day that the envoy from the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect would arrive.


    After waiting for who knows how long, Lin Tian suddenly felt the surrounding air become a bit distorted.


    Before long, an elderly voice could be heard, "Where is the king of the Tian Luo Kingdom!?"


    Luo Tianyi answered immediately, "Tian Luo''s king, Luo Tianyi, is leading Tian Luo''s students to welcome the envoy."


    At the same time, an old figure appeared in front of Lin Tian and the others.


    It was an old man wearing a green robe. He was already extremely old and his entire body had become shriveled up. His five fingers were like the claws of a demonic beast. There was not a single strand of flesh on him and he was completely covered in skin and bones.


    Not only that, his entire body was completely dried up without even a trace of blood aura appearing.


    He had wrinkles all over his face and his eyes were murky. He looked like an evil spirit that had just walked out of hell.


    Lin Tian''s eyebrows slightly rose before lowering his head.


    When he saw this person''s face just now, no matter how he looked at it, this person didn''t seem like a good person at all. He didn''t look like an ordinary old man at all.


    "Un, following the decree of the Sacred Sect''s Sacred Master, I have come to extradite all of you Tian Luo''s students. All of you, prepare yourselves ¡­" The old man smiled and asked.


    The smile on his face grew even more frightening. His appearance was already extremely frightening. That smile on his face was even more frightening.


    All the students lowered their heads, unable to look at him directly.


    Luo Tianyi laughed softly and said, "Sir envoy, why don''t you take a break here? I have recently obtained some excellent materials, may you come here to appraise them..."


    Luo Tianyi was extremely clear about this. If he wanted to get news from these envoys in advance, he would have to pay a huge price.


    Of course, in order to let Lin Tian and the others know about the cost in advance, although Luo Tianyi felt pain, it was still worth it ¡­ ¡­


    "No, this year, the Holy Lord has already specially instructed us that this time''s Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms will be very different from before. However, this time, the method is completely different, so there is no need to tell me the materials. I can''t stay here any longer either, since all of you are already prepared, just let me go!" The old man''s words came out of his mouth, and he rejected Luo Tianyi''s suggestion.


    "Lord Envoy, the materials that Little Jun has prepared are definitely top-notch. Please allow me to speak with you ¡­" Luo Tianyi became even more anxious when he saw that the envoy had rejected him. This could only mean that there would definitely be another huge change in the Great War of a Thousand Empire ¡­


    "Don''t you understand what I''m saying?" When the old man saw that Luo Tianyi was still entangling with him, he coldly shouted: "A small kingdom''s king dares to block my way. It seems that you have already forgotten about being humble if not punishing you a little!"


    After saying that, the old man suddenly took action. He threw out a palm attack directly towards Luo Tian Yi.


    Luo Tianyi was shocked. He quickly threw out a palm attack to block that old man''s attack.


    However, when his palm attack collided with that old man''s palm attack, an incomparably violent power instantly swept towards Luo Tianyi.


    Luo Tianyi couldn''t block that palm attack at all. The power of that palm attack actually forcibly sent Luo Tianyi flying out of the arena.


    As Luo Tianyi fell to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a pale expression on his face. It was obvious that the old man''s casual palm attack had severely wounded him.


    Lin Tian looked and was shocked. Luo Tianyi was a Death Profound Realm expert and was already at the second level of the Nascent Profound Realm, but facing this old man who was about to die, he couldn''t even take a single attack?


    How strong was this old man exactly?


    "You don''t know what''s good for you!" The old man let out a cold snort and then waved his sleeve. Lin Tian and the others immediately felt a fierce wind sweeping past them.


    The next moment, as their consciousness spun, they had already disappeared from the Tian Luo Kingdom.

 C389 Five tests

    When everyone''s consciousness returned from the chaos, they found that they had all arrived at another place.


    "Guys of Tian Luo Kingdom, welcome to the Virtuous Cloud Sect!" Right at this moment, the old man let out a hoarse dry laugh and spoke to the crowd.


    "Ling Xiao Sacred Sect?" Everyone was astonished. They never would have thought that they would arrive at the Holy Sect in such a short time.


    At this moment, it was as though they were standing in midair, stepping on the white clouds as they flew. Because of this, they were able to overlook the entirety of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    The entire Lingxiao Saint Sect was located at the intersection between the Western Spiritual Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm. This place was a treasure land, and the spirit veins were intertwined and intertwined, causing the spiritual energy in the entire Lingxiao Saint Sect to be abnormally abundant. There were a total of nine peaks in the Lingxiao Saint Sect, with one hundred and eight cavities.


    On each spiritual peak, there was a Peak Master from the Skysoar Sect. Below the Peak Master, there was also the Master of the cave.


    There were a total of one hundred and eight holes, and each of them contained over a thousand disciples.


    From this, it could be seen how powerful and majestic the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was. It could be said that it was a magnificent sight to behold.


    This time, they, the students from various countries, were going to compete in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Of course, the final result of this battle would also affect the rankings of the next thousand countries.


    Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone''s faces, the old man couldn''t help but laugh, "What''s wrong, have you never seen such a sect before?"


    His tone was filled with mockery and a disdainful smile.


    Lin Tian and the others didn''t say anything. This old man had just sent Luo Tianyi flying with a palm just now, which was enough to prove his tyrannical strength. It wasn''t strange for people like him, a genius expert from a small country, to look down on him.


    "Little fellows, I am your successor. According to the rules, I will tell you the rules for this time around. Therefore, you all should listen clearly to the words that this old man is about to say ¡­"


    The old man spoke indifferently, then pointed at the stone tablet of the Virtuous Cloud Sect and said, "The rules of the Battle of a Thousand Kingdoms have changed. If you want to participate in the Battle of a Thousand Kingdoms, you must first pass the test of my Virtuous Cloud Sect!"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian and the others immediately turned pale with fright, all of them looking at each other in dismay.


    No wonder this old man didn''t give any face to Luo Tianyi and didn''t say a word. It turned out that this time, before the great war, there was still an examination for the Lingxiao Saint Sect!


    Didn''t this mean that if they were unable to pass the examinations of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, they wouldn''t even have the qualifications to participate in the Great War of a Thousand Empire?


    This was the most important rule.


    However, there had never been such a rule in the past years, so why was it happening this year?


    "I know that before this, you all might have made sufficient preparations. However, unfortunately, you all have made your preparations too early." The old man glanced at them, as if he had already guessed what they were thinking, and continued, "This time, the examination set up by my Skycloud Sect will be divided into five parts."


    "Strength, blood energy, strength, combat strength, and mental state!" The old man spoke of the five parts of the test.


    "This examination was originally used by my Lingxiao Sacred Sect to test the disciples that want to join the sect. However, you students who participated in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms, the final victor would also be selected as a disciple of my Lingxiao Sacred Sect. Thus, this time, the only thing is to advance the rules." That old man explained more, but his tone became cold again, "However, this time, regardless of the assessment, those who fail the examination will be eliminated first, and they will lose their qualifications to participate in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms."


    "Do you understand what I''m saying?" The old man glanced at everyone and asked.


    "Understood." Lin Tian and the others nodded.


    The old man''s expression finally eased up. He waved his hand and brought everyone to the entrance.


    Just now, the clouds and mist lingered in the sky, so Lin Tian and the others hadn''t clearly seen the situation in front of the mountain gate. Now that they had descended, they could see the magnificent scene in front of the mountain gate clearly.


    At this moment, a large number of people had already gathered in front of the entrance to the Cloudsoaring sect.


    Many of them were students from various countries, but there were also people from the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    It was easy to tell the difference between the people from the Virtuous Cloud Sect and the disciples from the Skycloud Sect. They all agreed to the order.


    The old man led Lin Tian and the others and arrived in front of a black haired middle-aged man not far away. He then cupped his hands and said: "Lord Cave Lord, these are the ten students chosen by Tian Luo Kingdom. They are here to participate ¡­"


    "Emissary Li, you''ve worked hard, bring them down and line up. However, you can''t leave here first, you have to watch over them and be responsible for maintaining order ¡­" The middle-aged man''s face was filled with dignity as he lightly swept his gaze across Lin Tian''s group. He slightly nodded and said: "Tian Luo can be considered to have gone down the drain this time. The talent of the disciples selected this time was not bad.


    Saying that, he gently shook his head and let the old man lead Lin Tian and the others away.


    The old man bowed and left, and only after he was far away from the middle-aged man did he say: "That person just now was called Leng Feng, he is the owner of one hundred and eight holes." That old man bowed and left, and waited until he was far away from the middle-aged man, and said: "That person just now was called Leng Feng, he was one hundred and eight holes.


    Lin Tian and the others silently remembered, following the old man, they arrived at the back of a group.


    The number of examinees in each of the kingdoms within a thousand kingdoms is close to ten thousand, counting all the students in each kingdom.


    If so, how long would it take for the trial to end? Thus, they split into five teams and proceeded separately.


    The five rounds of examination were a test of strength, a test of blood qi, a test of cultivation, a test of battle prowess, and a test of mental state.


    After finishing this round, only then would you be qualified to take the other rounds.


    Once a trial was not passed, one would be eliminated.


    The first thing the old man chose was the Blood Qi Pass.


    The Blood Qi Trial was a test of a student''s Blood Qi. Actually, the Blood Qi could not represent one''s battle prowess. However, it could represent one''s talent.


    A person with outstanding talent had an incomparably exuberant blood vitality. Even if he didn''t have enough strength now, as long as he diligently trained, he would definitely be able to achieve great achievements in the future.


    However, if one had ordinary talent, or was an older person, their blood would gradually dry up and become lifeless. An existence like this, no matter how high their cultivation was, was useless. Sooner or later, they would not be able to escape death from their blood energy.


    This emissary, the old man who had received them, was already on the verge of drying up. No matter how strong he was, it was useless, because his death was near, and he didn''t have many years left to live ¡­


    Just as he was thinking about this, the people in the front suddenly burst into cheers.


    Lin Tian and the others looked over. One of the students participating in the assessment had just stood in front of the pillar that was testing the blood qi. The entire pillar''s color had already changed from white to scarlet.


    Scarlet blood energy, it proved that this student''s talent was already strong enough. His future accomplishments were almost limitless.


    All the students cheered as they witnessed the birth of an incomparably powerful genius.


    Even the person in charge of the assessment from the Virtuous Cloud Sect smiled and nodded as he praised that student.


    Lin Tian''s heart slightly moved as he turned around and calmly looked at the old man beside him.


    At this moment, the old man''s eyes suddenly shone with a burning desire as he stared fixedly at the student.


    Lin Tian was shocked. From the old man''s eyes, Lin Tian seemed to see a trace of jealousy, desire, and, of course, a trace of killing intent!


    This old thing, from the looks of it, he did not have any good intentions in bringing us to this Blood Aura Mountain Pass!

 C390 Everyone here is trash!

    Lin Tian remained calm and collected. Moreover, he only looked at the old man once and was not discovered by the old man.


    Later on, there were people who walked up the pillar one after another. Lin Tian basically understood the rules of the selection.


    In the Blood Qi Trial, the test was naturally blood qi. Lin Tian naturally knew, and that test column was actually a standard to test the strength of blood qi.


    If a student were to stand on that pillar, the pillar would be activated. The pillar would change according to the blood aura emitted by that student.


    From top to bottom, if a student''s blood aura could cause the light to shine and illuminate the entire test column from bottom to top, then it basically proved that the student''s blood aura was very strong and his talent was naturally not low. Even if the requirements were met, this test could be considered as having passed.


    The blood qi just now had caused the entire pillar to change from white to red. It could already be considered to have triggered a change in the pillar. At the very least, it proved that this student''s talent far surpassed everyone else''s.


    However, only the student from before had triggered such a change.


    None of the remaining students were able to cause any changes to the pillar.


    Some of the blood qi''s power was not bad and could light up the rings of light to illuminate the entire pillar. However, there were many people who could not even light up the rings of light. Of course, these students were directly eliminated.


    Lin Tian''s gaze once again continuously sized up the old man. Indeed, the old man did not send out that kind of gaze again, and only silently watched the many students nonstop test their own blood energy.


    Not long after, it was finally the turn of Tian Luo Kingdom''s people.


    The first to go was Chu Feng.


    Chu Feng went up on the stage and circulated the power of his blood and Qi. The ring of light above the pillar immediately lit up.


    As the blood aura around Chu Feng''s body grew stronger, the ring of light kept on rising. However, when it was about to reach the top of the pillar, it suddenly stopped.


    After that, no matter how hard Chu Feng tried to control the blood energy in his body, he was unable to cause the ring of light to rise any further.


    Chu Feng was incomparably anxious. He was about to exert more strength when the referee sitting beside him coldly said, "Not qualified, next!"


    "Impossible, this is impossible. With my talent, how can I not even pass the most basic trial?" Chu Feng was dazed.


    "Your talent may be considered outstanding in a small country like yours, but with just this little talent, you''re still far from joining us. Get lost, don''t waste time!" The referee looked young, so he should be a disciple of the Holy Sect, but when he spoke, there was no trace of politeness in his tone.


    Chu Feng was about to say something else, but the old man beside him suddenly made his move.


    The old man grabbed onto Chu Feng''s neck and said with a sneer, "Little brat, don''t worry about what happened to you. I won''t kill you, but they might not ¡­"


    Chu Feng was caught, completely unable to move. He let the old man carry him and throw him to the side. At this moment, his face was still filled with disbelief. He was clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.


    Lin Tian and the others were shocked and alarmed. They did not expect that the first person to be eliminated by Tian Luo was Chu Feng.


    "Next!" The referee continued to call out.


    Du Feng gently walked to the front of the pillar.


    However, before Du Feng even started to emit the Blood Qi from his body, the testing pillar had already lit up.


    However, the light that the pillar was emitting was not the transparent light from before. Instead, it was an azure light.


    At this moment, the judge raised his head and asked in astonishment, "A Celestial Body?"


    Without waiting for Du Feng to continue releasing his Qi, the referee waved his hand and said, "There''s no need to test for Sky Spirit Body. Pass. Next."


    Du Feng slightly hesitated, then walked off the platform.


    He stood in the middle of a group of students who had passed the test.


    Lin Tian was also surprised for a bit, but he quickly understood.


    The Heaven''s Spirit Body was the favorite of the heavens. It was born with great talent, so it was far more powerful than an ordinary person.


    Although potential was not everything on the path of martial dao, it was a crucial requirement.


    Those with talent were not on the same level as those without.


    Of course, in the history of the Sky Dragon Continent, there were countless supreme experts. Before, they didn''t have outstanding talent, but afterwards they relied on their great perseverance to become top tier martial artists.


    However, those were only a few, after all.


    Most of them still had to judge based on their talent, whether or not this martial cultivator would be able to achieve great things on the path of martial arts ¡­


    Therefore, in comparison, the Heaven''s Spirit Body was naturally a relatively popular resource.


    However, what made Lin Tian suspicious was that when Du Feng had revealed his Heaven''s Spirit Body, the referee wasn''t too surprised. Instead, he had a normal expression.


    Could it be that the Lingxiao Sacred Sect has many disciples with such talents?


    "That''s only natural, the Lingxiao Saint Sect encompasses over a thousand kingdoms. Think about it, your tiny Tian Luo Kingdom already has a lot of celestial bodies, not to mention over a thousand kingdoms ¡­" At this time, the Horned Demon in the Divine Palace suddenly spoke.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded as he more or less understood the situation.


    "Furthermore, a natural born body does not represent everything. Not to mention, a natural born body is also divided into different levels." Horned Demon seemed to be in a good mood and said a few more words to Lin Tian.


    "This pillar is called the Seven Colored Pillar. It is a test of the strength of one''s blood energy. This Seven Colored Pillar will emit different colors of light."


    They are divided into seven colors, purple, red, yellow, green, green, blue, white, purple is the extreme, and white is the most powerful, the weakest, in fact, white is also colorless, white is the proof of talent, so only when the blood qi they emit can light up the entire test column will it be considered qualified. As for the other colors, they are either celestial beings or full of blood energy. Horned Demon quietly explained.


    "So that''s how it is." Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but say: "If that''s the case, then that student from before who could cause the entire test column to turn crimson ¡­."


    "Of all the people in this test, your talent is one of the best. But in front of you, it''s still far from enough ¡­" Hornless said indifferently.


    "Furthermore, the reason why Du Feng can only cause the blue light is because he has yet to fully develop his Heavenly Body''s terror. In the future, as his cultivation grows, his talent will also increase ¡­"


    "Oh, you have such confidence in me. According to what you said, I should be able to trigger that purple light?" Lin Tian heard the meaning in Horned Demon''s words and couldn''t help but say in surprise.


    "No, if you spread the blood aura all over your body to the limit, this test column will collapse because it could not withstand the strength of your blood!" Hornless answered without hesitation.


    "Brat, you need to always remember, you are the descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, your talent, of course, I am not targeting anyone. What I mean is, basically everyone here, when compared to you, is trash ¡­" Horned Tyrant said to Lin Tian.


    "..."


    "However, you still have to do your best to suppress your blood energy. That old thing seems to be looking for prey ¡­" Horned Demon said with a cold tone.


    Lin Tian wanted to ask more, but the referee had already spoken again, "Next."


    Lin Tian raised his head to look. At this time, it was Gu Yan''er''s turn.


    He looked at Gu Yan''er with interest. He really wanted to know, since Gu Yan''er possessed the Woeful Poison Body, just how strong would her talent be ¡­

 C391 Blood qi pass

    And just now, while Lin Tian was talking with Horned Demon, he had already tested two people. One was Fang Xing, the other was Su Xiao.


    Since Fang Xing was a natural born lifeform, he was definitely qualified.


    Su Xiao was the number one expert of the Sword Inquisition, one of the Five Great Academies. His talent naturally wasn''t that bad, so he passed with ease.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er had already stepped onto the testing pillar.


    He had just gotten close to the test site.


    The entire pillar was already shining brightly.


    In the blink of an eye, the color changed from blue to green.


    A series of exclamations sounded from the audience.


    Even the referee was slightly surprised.


    One must know that the current Gu Yan''er had only just stood in front of the testing column and did not unleash her own blood energy.


    But even so, it was what caused the change.


    However, this was far from over. In the next instant, the cyan light turned green again. Then, it actually started emitting traces of a golden color.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er had just released a small amount of blood energy from her body.


    In the next moment, that yellow color turned crimson!


    Scarlet in color. This was the color shown by the extremely talented student.


    However, at this moment, he was actually being chased flat by a girl.


    This proved something, so it went without saying.


    In an instant, everyone''s eyes were focused on Gu Yan''er.


    At this moment, Gu Yan''er had already released more than half of her blood energy.


    The color on the testing column was still flickering, as if it could change at any moment.


    In the next moment, the situation changed again.


    The originally bright red testing column finally began to have a qualitative change as the blood Qi within Gu Yan Er''s body was repeatedly emitted.


    The crimson red pillar slowly turned purple.


    After it turned purple in color, the testing pillar finally started to sway.


    At this moment, everyone below the stage was deathly silent. It was as if they had all stopped breathing, and not a single person uttered a single sound.


    Purple!


    Even the referee''s hands were trembling as he looked at Gu Yan''er in disbelief.


    However, at this moment, Gu Yan''er still did not stop her attacks.


    The purple color of the pillar was getting deeper and deeper, almost as if it could turn black at any time.


    The pillar was shaking more and more violently.


    The entire platform began to shake.


    It was also at this moment that the referee finally regained his senses. He hurriedly shouted to stop them, "Stop, hurry up and stop!"


    He knew that if he did not stop now, what would happen next ¡­


    Swoosh. Gu Yan''er immediately retracted her blood aura and looked towards the judge with some doubt in her eyes.


    However, she had completely released the blood energy from her body just now. It was about time for her to stop.


    The referee''s forehead was covered in sweat, his face alternating between red and white. After a long time, he finally suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "You, what is your name?"


    "Gu Yan''er." Gu Yan''er did not hesitate as she directly replied. After which, she curiously looked at the judge and asked: "Is there a problem?"


    "No, no ¡­" The referee swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and then smiled, "Congratulations, you don''t need to participate in the upcoming assessment."


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." A collective gasp came from the audience. Everyone looked at the referee in disbelief. They hadn''t expected him to say such a thing.


    "Junior Martial Sister Gu ¡­" The referee was about to speak, but he immediately felt that it was a bit inappropriate to call her junior sister, so he immediately explained, "Oh, with your talent, you can join my Lingxiao Sacred Sect. The referee was about to speak, but immediately he felt that it was not appropriate to call me junior sister, he immediately explained," Oh, with your talent, you can join my Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    The audience went into an uproar. They did not expect the referee to publicly let Gu Yan''er enter the Western Moon Cave ¡­


    However, from this, it could be seen just how terrifying Gu Yan''er''s talent was!


    One had to know that even the student who had just activated the red pillar did not receive this kind of treatment.


    Red and purple, there was only a difference of a single grade, yet there was already such a huge difference in treatment ¡­


    Gu Yan''er''s face revealed a troubled expression. After which, she smiled and said, "Thank you senior for your good intentions. I still need to consider ¡­"


    "It''s fine, it''s fine." The referee was extremely polite, as if he was a completely different person from the way he treated Chu Feng earlier.


    With that, Gu Yan''er did not stay and stood to the side. The referee called Wang Feng waited for Gu Yan''er to stand before smiling and returning to her seat.


    "Next." Wang Feng spoke again.


    This time, it was Mo Xiaofei''s turn.


    Mo Xiaolang was also a spiritualist, and when the test column was stimulated by Mo Xiaolang''s blood aura, it slowly took the shape of a wolf.


    It looked impressive, but the referee didn''t even raise his head and directly said, "Qualified. Next ¡­"


    Following that, Luo Tiannan and Jiang Ruoxi also successfully passed this round.


    "Next."


    This time, Ji Fangge walked onto the stage.


    As he slowly circulated his blood energy, the test column started to change once again.


    In the end, Ji Fangge''s face turned red.


    Wang Feng was slightly surprised, but he did not say anything.


    Compared to Gu Yan''er''s purple, Ji Fang Ge''s crimson red was still a far cry from the talent that Gu Yan''er possessed.


    "Ji Fangge has held back ¡­" When Lin Tian saw that Ji Fang Ge had only reached crimson red in the end, he immediately knew that Ji Fang Ge had held back.


    Ji Fangge had a Sacred Heart and was originally a person with extremely high talent. Later on, although his Sacred Heart was broken, he received Lin Tian''s advice and became even more extreme. Furthermore, his talent was even more terrifying than before.


    Even if it wasn''t as terrifying as Gu Yan''er''s Woeful Poison Body, it was definitely purple in color ¡­


    Ji Fangge calmly smiled at Lin Tian and walked down the testing column.


    "Next." Wang Feng''s voice sounded again.


    Lin Tian took a deep breath and recalled the request from Horned Demon just now.


    Horned Demon suppressed his blood energy and said that the old man in charge of receiving them seemed to be looking for prey.


    Lin Tian Deng immediately guessed a few things, but he didn''t dare to be sure.


    After pondering for a long time, Lin Tian still suppressed the blood Qi on his body. With large steps, he approached the examination platform.


    However, just as he stepped onto the platform, he still hadn''t reached the test column.


    The testing pillar had changed.


    Lin Tian was shocked in his heart. Once again, he firmly suppressed the blood qi around his body, almost not letting it leak out.


    However, the changes on the pillar were still not over ¡­

 C392 Disintegration test column

    It turned out that just as Lin Tian approached the testing column, it started to flash with light.


    More importantly, that beam of light was flashing extremely quickly.


    After Lin Tian walked onto the testing platform, he took a step forward and the testing pillar started to shake.


    Taking another step forward, the testing pillar seemed to be struck by wind as it frantically flickered with purple, crimson, gold, green, cyan, blue and colorless.


    The seven colors flickered crazily, but there was no fixed meaning.


    It was a complete mix of seven colors. With that, no one would be able to determine whether the testing pillar had tested Lin Tian''s talent or not.


    Lin Tian was also extremely astonished in his heart. Inside the Divine Palace, he couldn''t help but continuously call out for the Horned Demon. He wanted to ask the Horned Demon what the situation was.


    "A descendant of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence would naturally not allow this trash to test your talent." Horned Demon sighed. "Actually, whether you can suppress your strength is the same. This pillar is about to collapse ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Listening to Horned Demon''s words, Lin Tian didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He had wanted to say that he was suppressing the power of his blood energy, but who would''ve thought that in the end, suppressing or not was practically the same.


    Every time he took a step forward, that pillar would have an extremely abnormal reaction ¡­


    Such a situation had already shocked everyone in the audience.


    Suddenly, someone shouted, "What''s going on? Could it be that the test column is broken?"


    Everyone else also agreed.


    The test column seemed to have gone berserk as the seven colors flashed non-stop.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that all of this was established when Lin Tian did not begin to emit his own aura ¡­


    Wang Feng''s eyes also shrunk abruptly. He could not help but feel somewhat uncertain in his heart: "This, this test pillar, could it be that it has really broken ¡­"


    But soon after, Wang Feng threw this thought to the back of his mind.


    How could this be? The testing pillar was a treasure. It had been standing here for so many years, and they had no idea how many talents had been selected for the Lingxiao Saint Sect. How could it suddenly be damaged?


    But now, why did this happen?


    This kid, he hasn''t even released his blood energy yet ¡­


    Lin Tian continued to walk forward step by step.


    As Lin Tian approached, the color on the testing column suddenly flickered several times faster than before.


    The entire pillar was trembling crazily, as if it would collapse at any moment.


    The trembling of the entire arena grew even more intense.


    "What ¡­ What is going on?" At this moment, Wang Feng was increasingly astonished. However, after guessing for a long time, Wang Feng still felt that it was probably because this brat did not release the power of the Blood Qi that such a situation had occurred ¡­


    Thinking of this, Wang Feng no longer hesitated and directly roared at Lin Tian: "What are you standing there for, release the blood qi from your body!"


    "I can''t release my blood energy!" Lin Tian lightly shook his head and then refused Wang Feng''s order.


    "Can''t release Blood Qi?" Wang Feng immediately sneered and said, "Alright then, you, are not qualified. Get the hell out of here!"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, but soon after, he abruptly raised his head and coldly stared at Wang Feng.


    "What are you looking at me for? If you don''t release your blood energy, you''re not qualified!" Wang Feng fiercely shouted at Lin Tian.


    "This pillar has already become like this. Are you blind? You still want me to release my blood essence? If this pillar breaks, will you be responsible for it?" Lin Tian couldn''t hold back the anger in his heart. If he wasn''t afraid that he would release his blood qi and destroy the pillar, causing an even bigger stir, he would have released his blood qi long ago.


    "Humph, this is the normal reaction of the testing column. Why do you care so much? If I tell you to release the blood qi, then you release the blood qi. No need to waste words. If something happens, I''ll be responsible!" Seeing that Lin Tian still dared to retort, Wang Feng became even more anxious and roared at Lin Tian again.


    The argument between the two immediately shocked everyone in the audience.


    Actually, they did not know what had happened. Especially since Lin Tian had taken the examination platform, there were many strange things happening. At first, the examination pillar started to flash crazily.


    In the end, this Lin Tian actually started arguing with the referee ¡­.


    As for the old man in charge of receiving Lin Tian and the others, his eyes were currently staring at Lin Tian with flickering eyes. It was unknown as to what he was thinking ¡­


    "Alright, since you insist on letting me release my blood energy, then I will release my blood energy. However, remember, the consequences will be borne by you!" Lin Tian said to Wang Feng with an ice-cold face.


    "Stop playing tricks on me, release your blood energy right now!" Wang Feng flew into a rage. If it weren''t for the fact that the Lingxiao Sacred Sect had ordered him not to act, he would have long since wanted to take action and teach Lin Tian a lesson.


    "Alright." Lin Tian lightly nodded his head. This time, he no longer suppressed the blood aura around his body. Then, he gently spread open his hands and spoke word by word to Wang Feng: "You ¡ª ¡ª wish!"


    In the next moment, the blood qi around Lin Tian''s body was completely released by Lin Tian.


    In that instant, the blood aura around him turned into a small, blood-red dragon.


    The blood-red dragon faced the sky and roared, and then it charged straight towards the pillar.


    At the same time, the moment the blood-colored dragon appeared, the colourless pillar instantly turned purple. It didn''t even have time to change before it turned purple.


    However, the next moment, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the pillar.


    Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the pillar exploded.


    The test column exploded, triggering a chain reaction.


    Several other testing points were slightly affected in different degrees.


    Even the mountain gates of the Virtuous Cloud Holy Sect began to shake.


    In the next moment, the blood aura surged into the sky. A small, blood-red dragon dressed in seven colors instantly transformed into clouds and disappeared into the sky.


    However, at the same time, the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, the Ninth Peak, and the one hundred and eight holes were affected to varying degrees.


    "Interesting, someone actually used the power of their blood energy to destroy the testing pillar. After such a long time in seclusion, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect is finally welcoming an absolute genius?" At the same time, an elderly voice was suddenly heard from the main peak of the Cloudsoaring sect.


    At the same time, such a commotion had also alarmed the experts of the other eight peaks. In an instant, the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect had started surging with undercurrents ¡­

 C393 The rules have changed again

    At the same time, in front of the testing column.


    Everyone was petrified.


    Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at Lin Tian. No one thought that this kid would actually have such a strong blood energy.


    The testing pillar just now had unexpectedly collapsed because it could not withstand Lin Tian''s blood energy!


    Wang Feng was completely dumbfounded. This ¡­


    He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty and couldn''t help but ask in his heart, "Is this boy even human?"


    But at this time, the old man responsible for receiving Lin Tian''s group suddenly widened his turbid eyes and stared at Lin Tian.


    He suddenly thought of something.


    No, it was a legend.


    It was a legend that had been passed down in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect for a long time.


    If someone was able to destroy the pillar that was used to test the blood aura, it would prove that the blood aura surrounding this person was so strong that it was not something that a human could predict.


    After all, the reason experts had set up such a treasure to test one''s blood energy was to determine a disciple''s talent.


    However, if this disciple was strong to a certain degree and not something that a human could predict, then the testing pillar would collapse because it couldn''t withstand such a strong blood energy and innate strength.


    From the looks of it now, this was the situation that Lin Tian had displayed.


    In that case, could it be that this boy called Lin Tian was one of the top geniuses in ten thousand?


    The old man immediately became excited.


    This kind of blood energy, this kind of talent, with such a young age, it seems like this physical body is made for me ¡­


    "Brat, you are already targeted ¡­" At this time, the Horned Demon in Lin Heavenly God Palace suddenly spoke.


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head and calmly looked at the old man below the testing platform. He had already sensed that there was something wrong with the old man.


    "The blood qi in his body has dried up and his body is about to rot. It is natural for him to look for a substitute to possess his physical body ¡­" Horned Demon did not feel that anything was amiss and said.


    "But unfortunately, his wishful thinking has fallen on the wrong person ¡­" Lin Tian coldly laughed as he replied.


    After that, he turned his gaze towards the nearby Wang Feng and said: "Brother referee, you''ve seen it too. This pillar is too weak, so, the final result, what should I do? Should I pass it or not ¡­"


    At this time, Wang Feng didn''t know what to say. Just now, Lin Tian said that he couldn''t release his own blood qi, so he didn''t listen to Lin Tian''s words at all. Instead, he made Lin Tian quickly release his own blood qi.


    But who would have thought that Lin Tian released the blood qi around his body, but the strange thing was that after he released the blood qi around his body, the testing pillar exploded into pieces ¡­


    At this moment, he himself did not know what to do. There were still a lot of students who had yet to come for the test, but the test column had collapsed.


    If the higher-ups were to pursue this matter, he would probably have to bear the greatest responsibility.


    Just as Wang Feng was in a daze, an aged voice suddenly sounded out from nearby. "Where''s Wang Feng?"


    Hearing that person''s voice, Wang Feng''s face immediately changed. He subconsciously replied: "Disciple Wang Feng is here!"


    "Come and see me ¡­" The voice was desolate and distant, as if it was close to his ears, but it also seemed to be a voice that came from afar.


    Wang Feng did not dare to hesitate and immediately left.


    As soon as the elderly voice was heard, all of the examinees from the Lingxiao Sacred Sect bowed, as if they were in awe of this voice.


    Even the old man who had revealed an unfriendly expression earlier bowed in greeting.


    From this, it could be seen how high the status of the old man who spoke that ancient voice was in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect ¡­


    On the other hand, Lin Tian walked down the arena with a calm expression. He let out a sigh of relief in his heart. The test column had been broken. To these students, no one knew just how strong Lin Tian''s blood qi was.


    As for the old man who had already treated him as his prey, Lin Tian secretly made up his mind. If he had the chance, he would sooner or later kill that old man.


    This old thing actually fancied his physical body. Speaking of which, his eye of discernment isn''t bad. It''s a pity that he chose the wrong person ¡­


    Lin Tian stood at the side, quietly waiting for Wang Feng''s return.


    Due to the sudden unexpected change in the Blood Qi Barrier, the test naturally stopped. Therefore, it affected the other tests. Everyone stopped and waited for Wang Feng''s return.


    That old voice might not be familiar at all to these students, but to all the people of the Holy Sect, it was extremely familiar.


    The Peak Master of Lingxiao Peak, as well as the Great Elder of the current Lingxiao Sacred Sect, had actually personally spoken.


    Who dared to say anything more?


    The long wait had finally passed and Wang Feng, who was in charge of testing the Qi and Blood, had also returned.


    At this time, Wang Feng had an incomparably calm expression on his face. It was as if nothing had happened just now.


    "My fellow students, my fellow masters and uncles, my fellow brothers and sisters ¡­" Wang Feng stood on the high platform, and said to the audience in a clear voice, "The Blood Qi Entrance Test is over, all the students who passed the Blood Qi Entrance Test have all passed. As for the students who passed the Blood Qi Entrance Test, they have all passed as well, so we can start the next four stages again ¡­"


    Everyone burst into an uproar when they heard this.


    Some people were happy while others were worried. Those students whose talents were not that outstanding were undoubtedly the happiest because if the Blood Qi trial were to proceed with the normal examination, then failure was already near at hand to them.


    However, the students who had been eliminated before after the Blood Veneration Pass dared not to speak out in anger.


    They were directly eliminated when they participated in the first round of the Blood Aura Pavilion''s examination. They didn''t even have the qualifications to participate in the next round ¡­


    Wang Feng did not pay attention to the complaints and discussions of the crowd. Instead, he continued, "After the end of this assessment, all the students who are ranked 5000 will be eliminated!"


    When these words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    This time, not only was the faces of the students that came to participate in the battle of 1000 nations discontented, even those that were in charge of the assessment from the Virtuous Cloud Sect looked at Wang Feng in surprise.


    Was ¡­ was he changing the rules again?


    Before, there was no such rule ¡­


    Wang Feng did not continue to explain. He was only the one passing the message. The result was obviously not something that he could decide.


    Saying this, Wang Feng turned around and softly said to Lin Tian: "You pass."


    It was only three simple words. Other than that, he didn''t say anything else.


    After saying that, he hurriedly left.


    The other judges who were in charge of the other four trials finally regained their senses at this moment.


    The test continued ¡­

 C394 Power pass

    The second stage, the Strength Trial.


    This round of the exam was even simpler and more brutal.


    In front of the Strength Trial, there was a huge stone tablet.


    It was said that this item was a treasure used to test one''s strength.


    The rules were quite simple. The examinees used all their strength to strike the stone tablet.


    Strength would automatically appear on the stone monument.


    Normally, a full powered attack from a Qi Disciple should have the strength of less than a thousand Jin. However, the actual situation was naturally different for different people.


    But basically, a thousand Jin was a watershed. Very few Mortal Realm warriors could do that. A full-powered strike could unleash a strength of more than a thousand Jin.


    A full powered attack from a Qi Hai warrior would have the power of at least 5000 pounds and below!


    An Aurous Core stage expert had the strength of at least 10,000 pounds.


    Astral Realm experts possessed a strength of at least 50,000 Jin.


    As of now, some of the examinees were in the higher and lower ranks, while others were in the lower echelons of the Aurous Core stage.


    Those with very high strength also had experts at the fifth level of the Milky Way Realm or higher.


    However, the amount of strength that these existences could attain was basically between ten thousand Jin and fifty thousand Jin.


    In fact, basically no one had the strength of fifty thousand Jin.


    This was because a strength of 50,000 jin could only be achieved by a master at the ninth level of the Astral Reaching Realm.


    Therefore, the majority of the students would only weigh ten thousand jin, or thirty thousand jin.


    As for this stone tablet, its strongest strength could withstand a strength of 100,000 pounds.


    Once one reached 100,000 jins, they would be able to leave their own fist imprints on the stone tablet.


    One had to know that the stone monument was previously used to select disciples from the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    Therefore, the stone tablet had already left a deep and shallow imprint of a fist, large and small.


    However, these fist imprints were also incomplete.


    This was because only when one''s strength reached one hundred thousand Jin, would one be able to leave a fist imprint on the stone tablet.


    This could be considered as a genuine fist imprint once the stone tablet was in place. On the stone tablet, from a distance, it appeared as though it was merely a series of imprints of varying depths and depths.


    And the passing criteria for this round''s trial was very simple as well.


    That is, he was able to exert a strength of ten thousand Jin and counted as qualified.


    However, in order to reach 10,000 Jin, one had to be at least in the 9th level of the Aurous Core Stage. Some martial artists that did not cultivate physical body strength, or even at the 1st level of the Astral Realm, could only release a strength of 10,000 Jin.


    However, overall, this round of the assessment was considered to be mediocre and did not make it too difficult for the students.


    "20,000 jin, qualified!" Not long after, Lin Tian heard the judge''s voice.


    20,000 pounds really wasn''t considered bad.


    One must know that in order to reach 20,000 Jin, one had to at least reach the third level of the Milky Way Realm.


    However, that student was only at the first level of the Star River Realm. From the looks of it, it was probably because he had specially refined his physical body, which was why he possessed such tyrannical strength.


    Ten thousand Jin wasn''t difficult at all. Many of the students easily passed the test.


    Ji Fang Ge and the others also easily passed this round of examination ¡­


    Not long after, it was Lin Tian''s turn again.


    Lin Tian looked at the stone tablet and actually felt a bit of nervousness in his heart. Honestly speaking, in the Tian Luo Country, there had never been a treasure like this that could test Lin Tian''s strength.


    The secret technique of the dragon clan that Lin Tian cultivates, his physical body''s strength already far surpasses that of an ordinary person.


    In addition, he had also trained in the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body.


    The Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique was a qualitative leap in enhancing the strength of the body.


    In this period of time, Lin Tian had refined a lot of Swelling Earth materials ¡­


    The Divine Land''s Swelling Earth did not help Lin Tian much in increasing his physical strength, but it did increase the toughness and toughness of Lin Tian''s body.


    So up until now, Lin Tian only knew that his physical body''s strength was very strong, but he had no idea how much his strength had increased.


    Perhaps, with this test of strength, I can test the strength of my physical body and see to what extent I have reached ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and suddenly began gathering his strength.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly heard a burst of ''kacha kacha'' sounds.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled before looking towards the source of the sound.


    Only now did he realize that he thought that the strength he''d gathered earlier had increased tremendously on his legs.


    But now, the stone underneath his feet could no longer endure the power from Lin Tian''s legs and it started to rapidly crack.


    Not long later, the floor of this testing table crumbled with a ''kacha'' sound ¡­


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat: "Isn''t this stone tablet a bit too weak ¡­ ¡­"


    But at this moment, the referee urged again, "Hurry up and attack. Didn''t you see that there are still so many people waiting behind you?"


    Lin Tian was slightly startled. The words were just about to come out of his mouth, but in the end he swallowed them down: "Alright, I will punch now."


    Saying that, Lin Tian punched out.


    With the previous lesson, coupled with the fact that he had yet to punch out, the stone slab had been completely crushed by him.


    Lin Tian didn''t dare to use his full strength.


    This time, he only used half of his strength.


    "Bang bang!" His fist landed on the stone monument.


    However, there was no response at all from the stone monument.


    It was as if this fist was struck empty by Lin Tian ¡­.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled and then suspiciously asked: "What''s going on?"


    "Huh?" This time, not only was Lin Tian flabbergasted, but everyone else in the audience also looked at the judge with extremely flabbergasted expressions.


    No matter how many times this student had punched before, as long as the student''s strength did not fall to a certain extent, the data on the stone tablet would always be relayed.


    As for the referee, he would immediately read out the numbers on it in order to determine whether the student had passed or not.


    However, the referee didn''t say anything.


    "Could it be that my strength has decreased?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but scratch his head. He wanted to ask the referee for a new beating ¡­


    "Holy shit, what''s going on?!" However, at this moment, the referee suddenly let out a curse.


    Everyone else was stunned, not knowing what had just happened.


    But from behind, the referee who could see the numbers on the stone monument was dumbfounded ¡­


    In front of the stone monument was the place where all the students were punching.


    On the back, the numbers of the student''s punches could be seen.


    But at this time, the number representing Lin Tian''s previous punch was quickly jumping around.


    This was also the reason why the referee still hadn''t announced the number.


    The number that represented Lin Tian''s strength didn''t have any warning signs. It crazily jumped about as if it was in the wind, and it was completely impossible to see just how much strength Lin Tian''s fist had ¡­


    However, the next moment, the entire stone tablet suddenly shook.


    "What the f * ck?" The referee cursed again.


    The next moment, the referee didn''t say anything.


    This was because the ''kacha'' sound that came from the stone tablet once again ¡­

 C395 Power pass

    That kacha, kacha sound, Lin Tian himself heard it.


    He suddenly had a bad premonition.


    "Is, is it going to collapse again ¡­" When his feet shattered that stone tablet, Lin Tian had always been worried that the stone tablet would also collapse.


    Now it seems that he guessed correctly ¡­


    In the next moment, the entire stone tablet shattered into pieces.


    Lin Tian was startled: "This, this stone tablet doesn''t even have a mark?"


    Just now, he had only used half of his strength to shatter the stone tablet?


    Not only Lin Tian, but the referee was also unable to recover from his shock.


    After recovering from his shock, he looked at Lin Tian as if he had seen a ghost.


    He ¡­ he actually shattered the stone tablet just like that?


    Furthermore, it seemed to be very easy to deal with.


    Didn''t this mean that this kid''s very light strike just now contained over a hundred thousand pounds of strength?


    But how could this be possible!?


    This little brat''s strength was only at the first level of the Star River Realm. For an ordinary existence at the first level of the Star River Realm to be able to exert a strength of 20,000 jin, to be able to leave a shallow mark on the stone monument was already extremely powerful.


    However, this brat had actually shattered a stone tablet that could withstand a hundred thousand jin of strength?


    The people in the audience were even more speechless. Previously, there were some students who had seen Lin Tian collapse the Blood Qi Test Pillar before the Blood Qi Barrier, but now that they saw that it was Lin Tian, they felt that it was a familiar face, a familiar action ¡­


    This kid, he actually shattered that strength testing monument again?


    "He... Just which kingdom is he a student from? How can he possess such tyrannical physical strength?"


    Everyone in the audience couldn''t help but ask each other.


    However, no one had heard of any kingdom that produced such a monster ¡­


    At this moment, the referee''s face was in pain, "Holy shit, what should we do? There are still so many students who haven''t taken the exam but the stone tablet is already shattered. How are we going to take the exam?"


    Lin Tian also stood on the spot and for a moment, he didn''t have an idea.


    He had originally wanted to use all his strength to test how much strength he had, but it was clear that he had lost all hope.


    He only used half of his strength to destroy the strength testing monument ¡­


    However, this more or less allowed Lin Tian to have a plan. This strength testing monument could at most withstand a hundred thousand jin of strength.


    In other words, when Lin Tian used half of his strength, it already exceeded 100,000 Jin.


    At this moment, the referee''s face was filled with anxiety. Towards such a sudden situation, he had really never encountered anything like this, not even when it came to selecting disciples from the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. Even if it was a top genius, at most, they could only leave a complete fist mark on the monument, but if one''s strength was strong enough to directly destroy the strength testing monument, then one would have never appeared in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect ever since the creation of the sect.


    The reason is actually very simple. No matter how strong you are, no matter what kind of strength you possess, it will still completely appear on the stone tablet.


    There was a clear gap between the levels of the martial arts cultivators in particular.


    Occasionally, there would be one or two experts who would specialize in tempering their own body. They would be able to unleash even more powerful attacks, and the power displayed would also surpass the power he could unleash with his own cultivation.


    However, this kind of student was extremely rare and rare, but even if there were, it wouldn''t be this terrifying. They thought that everyone was like this brat, that just because they came to test, they would destroy all the pillars and stone tablets?


    Just when he didn''t know what to do, an elderly voice was heard from not too far away, "Those who passed the previous examination and those who didn''t participate in the next one have all passed. The examination continues ¡­"


    Hearing such a voice, the referee immediately came to his senses. He also knew who the old man who said that was.


    He respectfully nodded his head and could not help but ask, "Then, this student, how should he be judged?"


    "Qualified." The old voice replied faintly.


    "Holy shit, I passed again?" The rest of the students who did not participate in this round of the Strength Trial were all pleasantly surprised.


    Wasn''t this a bit too simple? It seemed that he hadn''t even made a move, yet he was already qualified?


    The other students also wanted to look at the person who just spoke as if he was a fool.


    Despite having passed, he was still unhappy. There must be a problem with this person''s brain...


    The others were incomparably excited, especially those who weren''t confident in their strength. They were simply grateful to Lin Tian''s actions.


    After all, with Lin Tian making a move, they did not need to do anything.


    Some people had already secretly made up their minds that wherever Lin Tian went next, they would go. To be able to pass so easily was naturally the best.


    It was that old voice again. It was just that, who was that voice exactly? Why did it keep paying attention to the situation on the stage?


    But just when everyone was thinking, the old voice sounded again: "For the next three rounds, Tian Luo Kingdom''s Lin Tian, and the last assessment ¡­"


    "¡­"


    "Don''t ah..."


    The audience immediately cried out in grief. If Lin Tian was placed last, then their plan would have gone down the drain ¡­


    "My last one?" Lin Tian also had a stupefied look on his face. Could it be that that old voice had already confirmed that as long as he personally made a move, he would destroy the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect''s item?


    She was guarding him like a thief!


    However, to all the people of the Skycloud Sect, that ancient voice was an imperial edict.


    At this time, those disciples quickly moved and put the other students in front. As for Lin Tian, he was naturally placed last.


    "I ¡­" Lin Tian was a bit powerless, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he had destroyed two of their treasures in a row.


    Furthermore, these two treasures were both shattered by Lin Tian ¡­.


    Next was the third test, the internship test.


    The so-called strength barrier was actually the realm barrier.


    This test was to check the cultivation levels of all the students.


    And in order to pass this stage, one had to first reach the Astral River Realm in order to qualify.


    The strength barrier was mainly for the sake of distinguishing it from the battle force that would follow.


    For all martial arts cultivators, there was still a huge difference between the strength level and true combat power.


    Some experts specialized in tempering the body, and their physical strength was a bit stronger. Some experts had other secret arts and techniques, so even though their cultivation was constantly too strong, their combat strength was still much greater than normal.


    This round was purely about strength.


    Seeing that the person in charge of the exam was an old man, Lin Tian finally felt at ease.


    After all, he shouldn''t have shattered this old man the moment he stepped onto the stage ¡­


    This stage was quickly over.


    Tian Luo Country''s nine people, all passed, all reached the first level of the Star River Realm.


    In this test, there were very few people who failed, because the majority of the geniuses that came to participate in this time''s Great Thousand Empire War were all the strongest ten people in each country. Reaching the Star River Realm was naturally extremely simple ¡­

 C396 Iron man pass

    The fourth stage, the battle prowess test.


    The realm barrier might not be too difficult, after all, reaching the Milky Way Realm was not a difficult task for the top geniuses of all countries.


    However, the battle force test this time was truly a test of strength.


    Lin Tian had been placed last.


    The true test of combat strength was naturally to fight.


    Pure combat was the only way to test one''s strength!


    The method of this stage was not to fight two or three matches, but to fight the Puppet Man. The Puppet Man was a mechanical person.


    Of course, this stage was also called Iron Man Pass by the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    These iron men, as the name implies, were forged from black iron.


    However, the difference was that these fake people were not like the ones from the Exquisite Pagoda examination that Lin Tian had entered the Azure Province. They were simulated by the Exquisite Pagoda to battle with everyone else''s souls.


    In other words, these iron men should be called mechanisms.


    That''s right, it was the mechanism.


    However, the scariest thing was that these iron men would automatically adjust the difficulty of the mechanism according to the strength of the examinees.


    If the battle prowess you displayed was very strong, then the mechanism formed by the iron men would be stronger. In short, you won''t be able to pass this stage so easily ¡­


    Of course, without exception, all of this also put Lin Tian at the end.


    There were two types of rules to judge this trial. The first was to pass the trial, and passing the Iron Man Trial was naturally passing the trial.


    However, ever since the Lingxiao Sacred Sect started using this iron man to test their disciples, no one had ever been able to clear the level.


    That''s right, no one could clear the level.


    This was because these iron men''s ability to adjust themselves was too strong. Even if you were very strong, the result would be them automatically combining into a stronger mechanism and directly defeating you.


    Because the material of the iron man was made of black iron.


    As such, the iron men would not be affected by any divine or magical equipment.


    This was also the reason why this stage could allow him to bring in any of his magic treasures and weapons.


    Because even if you bring it in, it''s useless. It can''t hurt an iron man at all.


    Therefore, this kind of iron man was the best choice for taking the exam disciples'' true battle power.


    However, because no one was able to clear the trial, there was another standard that allowed one to pass the selection examination.


    It was simply the time he spent in the Iron Man Pass.


    As long as the time is more than an incense stick, he would pass.


    Once someone was struck out of Iron Man Pass within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, that person would naturally be eliminated.


    Because he was the last one, Lin Tian practically waited a long time.


    This test was the most obvious test of strength. Thus, in front of Lin Tian, there were almost countless people that were eliminated. Many of them were in the Blood Aura Barrier and the Strength Barrier because Lin Tian had destroyed the test treasure while the students had snuck in.


    But this time, these students revealed their true colors and were directly eliminated ¡­


    "Last one, Lin Tian!" Right at this time, it was finally Lin Tian''s turn.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly walked into the barrier in front of the mountain gate.


    The iron man sealed himself in a room. It was similar to a special space. After passing through the spirit formation, one could enter the iron man sealed room.


    The moment he entered, the incense outside started to burn ¡­


    Lin Tian naturally couldn''t see it. Moreover, as soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: "So this is the legendary Iron Man Pass!"


    Originally, at this time, Lin Tian raised his eyes and looked over. All he saw were iron men of the same height and size.


    When these iron men saw Lin Tian enter, they unexpectedly let out a mocking sound. In the next moment, a mighty roar rang out: "Ha!"


    "Holy shit, an iron man can mock people?" Lin Tian''s face was full of surprise, but before he could react, an iron man had already sent a fist towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not dare to hesitate as he thrusted out his Dragon Scale Spear.


    "Clang!" With a sound, a powerful force suddenly rebounded from the iron man and even the dragon scale spear that Lin Tian was holding started to tremble.


    However, this was already a dragon-scaled spear that had been remelt and forged by the Celestial Mouse. The might of this spear could no longer be compared to the past.


    On the Ironman''s chest, at the place where Lin Tian had just pierced it, a dark, deep hole suddenly appeared.


    "If you dare to injure me, you''re dead for sure!" A mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Lin Tian''s ears.


    In the next moment, that iron man suddenly started to grow.


    The place that had been pierced was now healed once again!


    However, that shot just now had obviously provoked that ironman. After that ironman''s transformation, the other ironmen''s bodies had also started to emit "crack crack, crack" sounds.


    One by one, the iron men began to grow.


    In but a few moments, these metal men had actually become twice as powerful as before.


    Not only that, even the aura on their bodies was currently undergoing a change ¡­


    "Whoosh!"


    "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"


    At this moment, Lin Tian''s ears were filled with the sound of the wind.


    It turned out that at this time, the hundreds and thousands of iron men were crazily rushing towards Lin Tian.


    The strength and speed of the punches were extremely quick. Almost in a blink, all of the iron people arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian also finally understood why no one could clear the level.


    The speed and strength of these iron men were no less than that of a Star River Realm expert.


    Their strength was secondary, but the iron men won in numbers.


    Right now, the number of iron men in front of him was at least eight hundred, or even a thousand.


    Like this, even if a master at the 9th level of the Astral Realm came in and was surrounded and attacked by a thousand people at the 1st level of the Astral Reaching Realm, he would still be beaten to death. It would already be considered good enough to last for an incense stick of time, not to mention knocking down all these iron men and obtaining the clearing, that would basically be an impossible task ¡­


    But even though he was thinking this, Lin Tian was not slow at all.


    The Dragon Scale Spear was already aimed at those iron men. One strike was the move from the Heavenly Dragon Tomb.


    "An afterimage!"


    In the blink of an eye, over a hundred spear silhouettes directly pierced towards the iron men that were in the lead.


    The Dragon Scale Spear had been tempered once again, in addition to Lin Tian Wushuang''s physical strength, in addition to the Dragon''s Tomb''s powerful attack.


    In the blink of an eye, the hundred or so iron men in front were immediately blasted to pieces by Lin Tian. From then on, the fallen iron men blocked the remaining iron men''s attack speed.


    As a result, Lin Tian''s short crisis was immediately averted.


    But in the next moment, these iron men stood up again and attacked Lin Tian.


    "Eh, there''s actually such a strong iron man here! Good material!" Just at this moment, Lin Tian''s right hand throbbed, and in the next moment, the Celestial Mouse''s surprised and happy voice rang out.

 C397 Lin tian lost?

    "I know about the materials. Can''t you see that I''m surrounded by these things?" Lin Tian unhappily said and then vigilantly looked in front of him like a tide.


    "Oh, so it''s a mechanism ¡­" At this moment, the Celestial Mouse had clearly seen the situation. After which, he spoke in a disdainful tone.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat. If this Iron Man Trial was a mechanism, then, it wouldn''t be difficult. The Celestial Mouse could be considered a top tier mechanical master.


    If it was really a trap, maybe the Celestial Mouse could help.


    Lin Tian was just about to speak, wanting to get the Tong Tian Mouse to help him, but at this moment in the Divine Palace, a voice suddenly rang out: "Boy, this Iron Man Pass to you is a test of your knowledge, your own strength, and your own best opponent. If you let the Tong Tian Mouse help you, then when will you grow? Don''t worry, these are just iron men.


    This was naturally the voice of the Horned Demon. In fact, the Horned Demon''s original philosophy was to let Lin Tian help himself, at any time, not to rely too much on the strength of others, especially not to the point where his life was in danger.


    Horned Demon never helped Lin Tian solve the problem first.


    Because it had always been like this from the beginning, at any time now, Lin Tian mostly relied on his own strength to solve the problem. His growth speed was naturally faster ¡­


    Hearing Horned Demon''s words, Lin Tian swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.


    Lin Tian had completely and unconditionally trusted Horned Demon. From the start until now, he had always been like this.


    "Kill!" This time, Lin Tian did not hesitate and actually took the initiative to attack those iron men ¡­


    "Bang, bang, bang!" The dragon-scaled spear landed on those iron men''s bodies, causing huge sparks to fly and creating a loud noise.


    One by one, the iron men fell and stood up once more.


    To Iron Man, it was almost completely effortless to keep going back and forth, but to Lin Tian, it was a huge consumption ¡­ ¡­


    Iron man would not feel tired, and he would not be able to kill him, but Lin Tian was the complete opposite ¡­


    "Hu!" Lin Tian let out a long breath and looked at the large amount of iron men falling. He took this opportunity to quickly recover the soul force around his body.


    However, those iron men who had fallen to the ground started cracking once again. Not long after that, those iron men who had lost an arm and a leg actually became whole once again.


    Not long after, one iron man after another in a state of full blood charged towards Lin Tian.


    This won''t do, if this goes on, I will die of exhaustion sooner or later ¡­


    Lin Tian inwardly thought, but there was no other way.


    Of course, for Lin Tian, surviving for the time it takes an incense stick to burn was not that difficult.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t just want to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.


    As if he had sensed Lin Tian''s thoughts, Horned Demon indifferently said: "Brat, have you fallen to the point where you can only use brute force to solve the problem?"


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian Deng heard the meaning of Horned Demon''s words.


    "It''s very simple, you knew it at the beginning. This is a mechanism, and the Celestial Mouse also specifically emphasized that this is only a mechanism. Why have you never thought of using mechanisms and have only thought of relying on brute force to deal with these iron men?" Horned Demon said with a bit of disappointment.


    "You mean, from the mechanism?" Lin Tian seemed to have thought of something.


    However, at this moment, Tong Tian Rat''s lazy voice also came over, "I say, little brat, are you okay? If you can''t do it, you can come and ask the Old Ancestor, the Old Ancestor is an expert in mechanical arts, it would not be wrong to say that he is the founder of the sect. How about this, you come and beg me, and give me some of the Swelling Divine Land as well, then the Old Ancestor will help you, what do you say?"


    "So you''re still thinking about my Swelling Earth?" Lin Tian laughed as he spoke. He never would have thought that this bandit was hard to guard against. This Celestial Mouse was actually still thinking about his Swelling Earth Divine Land.


    "What do you mean yearning? This is the reward that I deserve. Brat, quickly beg me. The ancestor promises that in a few breaths, you will pass ¡­" The Celestial Mouse shot towards Lin Tian, trying to persuade him.


    "No need, thank you. I have my ways!" Lin Tian did not hesitate to reject the Celestial Mouse''s suggestion.


    "Hey, kid, the price is negotiable!" The heavenly mouse became anxious.


    Lin Tian didn''t pay any more attention to the Celestial Mouse and sunk into deep thought.


    The words of Hornless gave him a great deal of inspiration.


    A mechanism, a mechanism, basically meant that these iron men were not invulnerable, but they had their own rules.


    Previously, he had been using all the power in his body. That was brute force, but coincidentally, what was needed to break the mechanism was not brute force, but skill.


    If it was a mechanism, then it had a mingmen. The mechanism was the same as the talisman formation, both having an eye for formations.


    As for mechanisms, they also had eyes for mechanisms.


    As long as he could find out where the iron men were, it would only be a matter of time before he broke through these traps.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and began to hold his breath as he focused. His Divine Palace emitted his incomparably boundless Spirit power.


    Streaks of spiritual power were like threads as they landed on the iron men like tentacles.


    His goal was very simple. Lin Tian wanted to rely on his strong mental strength to search for some rules on the iron man that he ignored.


    "Inhale, inhale, exhale!" Lin TianAo had been wandering around the world, but he had forgotten about everything else in that instant. His attention was completely focused on those iron men.


    Through Lin Tian''s mental strength, he could almost "see" all the iron man movement rules.


    From top to bottom, he was carefully observing the situation.


    Can''t find, can''t find, can''t find ¡­


    After a long time, one iron man after another arrived in front of Lin Tian and was about to punch him.


    Lin Tian suddenly seemed to come back to his senses.


    "Found it!"


    In the next moment, Lin Tianlong abruptly threw out his Scaled Spear, this time aiming for the iron man''s neck.


    Yes, the neck.


    As if they hadn''t noticed it, the iron man''s fist continued its frenzied assault.


    However, from beginning to end, their fists never landed on Lin Tian''s body.


    That was because, in the next moment, kacha, kacha, countless kacha sounds were produced.


    All of the iron men''s heads had been chopped off by Lin Tian.


    This time, those iron men could no longer recover. They had collapsed completely.


    Right at this time, Lin Tian suddenly felt a large wave of energy transmit over.


    The next moment, he was transported out of the Ironman Space.


    However, at this moment, a loud clamor could be heard from the audience.


    There was a sigh, a pity, a mockery ¡­


    It turned out that the incense had yet to burn out.


    Lin Tian actually wasn''t able to last for an incense stick of time?


    He was actually unqualified and eliminated?


    Everyone''s gazes simultaneously fell on Lin Tian ¡­.

 C398 You eliminated!

    "You''re not qualified. You''ve been eliminated!"


    While everyone was still in a daze, the referee suddenly opened his mouth.


    The moment he opened his mouth, he said these words.


    At this moment, the audience erupted into an uproar.


    Some did not believe it, but these were mainly the students from Tian Luo Kingdom. They had all just barely passed the Iron Man Trial.


    However, their strength was far inferior to Lin Tian''s.


    But even they were able to clear it. With Lin Tian''s strength, how could he not endure for the time it takes to burn an incense stick in there?


    There were also those who took pleasure in Lin Tian''s misfortune. These were all people who didn''t think well of Lin Tian. In the first two rounds, they all thought that Lin Tian breaking the stone tablet was a way to attract attention, but now their true colors were revealed.


    Of course, there were also sighs and regrets, all because of Lin Tian''s grace. With Lin Tian''s help, they almost didn''t need to test, and just passed the Blood Aura and Strength Entrance. Most people were grateful to Lin Tian, so for him to be eliminated now, they all felt some regret.


    At this time, the old man who had brought Lin Tian and the others to participate in the Thousand Kingdom War was also looking at Lin Tian with an expression of disbelief.


    "How is this possible?" His heart was also filled with astonishment.


    The blood qi that Lin Tian had displayed before was something that was rarely seen in his life, and his strength had even broken the record that Ling Xiao had left behind after the founding of his sect.


    Looking at those two aspects alone, this boy was absolutely a peak genius. But how could he not even pass the Iron Man Trial?


    In an instant, Lin Tian had a panoramic view of everyone''s expressions.


    Lin Tian stood where he was for a long time without making a sound and waited for everyone to quiet down.


    Not long after, the audience finally quietened down.


    However, the referee grew impatient. "I''m talking to you. You''ve been eliminated, why are you still standing there?"


    "No." Lin Tian lightly shook his head: "I cleared the level ¡­ ¡­"


    After a short period of silence, the audience broke out into a huge uproar once again.


    However, this time, it was all a mocking smile.


    "What did he say?"


    "He said he cleared the level?"


    "Is he a fool?"


    "Is there something wrong with my head ¡­"


    Everyone was taunting him. The sound of loud laughter echoed in front of the mountain gate.


    Pass? What a joke. Didn''t he see that even now, that incense stick had not burnt out?


    He couldn''t even last an incense''s time, yet he still dared to say that he had cleared the level?


    At this time, even the referee was amused by Lin Tian.


    Especially earlier, Lin Tian''s tone was extremely serious, as if he was announcing something.


    However, this was even more laughable. Could it be that this person was mentally ill and he couldn''t even last the time for an incense stick to burn, yet he dared to brazenly say that he had cleared the level?


    "Brat, you must still be sleeping. Don''t you know the standard for clearing a level? Do you want me to re-introduce it to you? " The referee saw that Lin Tian was so cute that he couldn''t help but say this to Lin Tian.


    However, his words were full of mockery.


    But he didn''t expect that Lin Tian would actually open his mouth and agree to the referee''s words. He lightly laughed and said: "Okay, since there''s someone willing to say the standard again, I naturally have to listen respectfully ¡­"


    "Hmm?" The referee''s face immediately darkened. Could it be that this brat was really a fool? Could it be that he didn''t hear the ridicule in his words?


    He actually dared to say it again.


    However, when thinking of this, the referee changed his thought, "Since you want to bring shame upon yourself, I can only reluctantly agree ¡­"


    After saying that, the judge smiled and said: "Alright, since that''s the case, you should listen well!"


    "Feel free to speak." Lin Tian faintly smiled.


    "There are two ways to pass this Iron Man Pass." The referee smiled faintly and said, "The first is that after you enter this Iron Man Trial, you will pass the examination after the time it takes to burn an incense stick inside."


    Saying this, the referee narrowed his eyes at Lin Tian, then smiled: "What a pity, this incense stick has just burnt out. Very clearly, by the first standard, you''ve already failed!"


    Lin Tian lightly nodded his head and did not deny it. Instead, he once again looked at the referee, waiting for the referee to say the second method to pass.


    "Hmm?" The referee once again looked at Lin Tian in disbelief and asked in astonishment, "Do you still want me to say the second method?"


    "Speak!" Lin Tian decisively replied.


    "Humph!" The referee''s tone immediately became cold, "What a boastful brat. Since you still want to pretend to be stupid to the end, then I don''t have anything good to say to you. The second method is to destroy all the iron men in this Iron Body Trial.


    "Brat..." The referee''s gaze was fixed on Lin Tian: "You''re not trying to tell me that you were teleported out after you destroyed all of the iron man in the Iron Man Pass, right?"


    "You''re not stupid, you got the right answer." Lin Tian indifferently said.


    However, those words completely infuriated the referee, and it also caused the crowd below to burst into loud laughter once again.


    Did this kid really lose his mind?


    He actually said that he destroyed all of the iron men at the Iron Man Pass before he was teleported out.


    This was the funniest joke in the world.


    Especially that referee. Currently, he was even angrier as he looked at Lin Tian and angrily said: "Brat, I originally wanted to give you some face, but you kept on challenging my limit. Alright, since that''s the case, then I don''t need to give you any face!"


    "Do you know that it has been thousands of years since my Lingxiao Sacred Sect was founded? In these thousands of years, the number of students we have selected are countless, and many of them are top geniuses. Some of them even became the most talented people in the entire West Spirit Realm!"


    "But even so, in the past few thousand years, no disciple has been able to completely pass the Iron Man Pass. Even on the closest occasion, a student stayed in the Iron Man Pass for a day and a night, but in the end, he was exhausted and failed!"


    But, that''s right, you''re just a kid at the first level of the Star River Realm, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly and say that you''ve passed the Iron Man Pass? If you had stayed in there for three days and three nights, I would have believed you, but you can''t even stay in there for an incense stick of time, and you still dare to say that you''ve passed the Iron Man Pass?


    "Are you trying to bully me because I don''t know how difficult this iron man trial is, or are you deliberately looking for trouble? If it wasn''t for the sect rules, I would have already killed you under my palm today!"


    By the end, the referee''s words were like ice.


    Lin Tian''s face abruptly became dark: "Kill me?"


    "Let''s see if you have the ability to do so!" At this time, Lin Tian was also extremely angry. This referee successively said what he thought and didn''t pay attention to the situation in the Iron Body Trial.


    At this moment, they actually dared to threaten him in such a manner. There was no need to leave him any face at all.


    "You still want to attack me? Fine, if I don''t teach you a lesson today, then I will become a disciple of the Glory Sect in vain!" The referee was even more enraged. He immediately prepared to attack as well.


    The atmosphere between the two immediately became tense ¡­

 C399 If you lose how about it?

    "Hold on!" Just as the two were about to attack, not far away, the old man who was standing, the old man in charge of receiving Lin Tian, suddenly spoke.


    The referee turned around and glanced at the old man, as if he had recognized his identity.


    A trace of a disdainful smile immediately appeared on his face. He then said, "So it''s senior brother Zhang Kun. Why? Does senior brother Zhang want to help this brat?"


    His words were extremely frivolous, and anyone could hear the ridicule in them.


    He did not become angry because of the judge''s words. Instead, he walked in front of the referee and gently said, "Junior brother Yang, why be angry, I am not used to listening to this brat''s words, but since he said that he can pass the Iron Body Trial, then we might as well go and take a look at the Iron Body Trial. At that time, we will know if what this boy said is true ¡­"


    "Do you even need to think about it?" The referee narrowed his eyes at Zhang Kun before saying snappily, "It must be a fake. Why would I need to waste so much effort!"


    "But junior brother Yang, you should think about it properly. If you attack now, it will undoubtedly be a violation of the sect rules. Right now, the head of the Sentencing Cave, Lord Leng Feng, is monitoring here. If he discovers that you are fighting with these examinees, it will not look good ¡­" Zhang Kun smiled.


    The referee''s complexion immediately changed as he asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"


    "My Junior Brother Yang, could it be that you''ve really been angered to the point of being confused, have you forgotten about the Demon Valley?" The old man had a smile on his face as he spoke to his junior brother Yang.


    "Ha ha-ha, I understand!" The referee surnamed Yang immediately broke into a smile.


    He understood what Zhang Kun meant and how he was going to deal with him.


    In the eyes of that Junior Brother Yang, Lin Tian definitely did not pass. Right now, the reason why he said all that was just to attract attention.


    So when the time came, he would only need to go inside the Iron Man Pass and take a look.


    If Lin Tian really passed it, then he passed. But this probability was probably zero.


    If he didn''t pass, then Lin Tian''s words just now were a lie to the referee.


    The inner sect rules of the Lingxiao Saint Sect were strict, and the punishment for dishonest disciples was even stricter.


    One of the punishments was to send him directly into the Demon Valley.


    The Demon Abyss was a forbidden area, it was filled with countless terrifying creatures and demons. In the history of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, only a few people would be able to survive if they entered the Demon Abyss.


    As long as he could prove that Lin Tian was lying, then he had every reason to beat Lin Tian up into that Demon Valley.


    When he thought of this, the referee Yang immediately became happy.


    Just now, this brat had always been doubting and denying his face.


    It would be strange if it could make things easier for him.


    Right now, he really wanted to make a move and cripple this brat.


    However, with how strict the sect rules were, he didn''t dare to easily overtake them.


    However, it didn''t matter now. Next up, he would let this boy know what was waiting for them after offending their referee!


    With this thought, the judge surnamed Yang coldly looked at Lin Tian, "Brat, since you are so stubborn, don''t blame me for being impolite!"


    "I''ll go to that Iron Man Pass to take a closer look. If you didn''t clear Iron Man Pass, you should know what''s in there waiting for you!"


    "And if I pass?" Lin Tian asked without hesitation.


    "You still dare to quibble? Good ah, looks like you really won''t give up until you reach the Yellow River!" The referee was extremely angry at this moment. As he spoke, he prepared to rush into the Iron Man Pass to investigate those Iron Dans.


    However, just as he took a step forward, Lin Tian blocked his path.


    "How dare you stop me!" That referee surnamed Yang was about to erupt in the next moment. With a single palm strike, he killed this boy who didn''t know the thickness of the heavens and earth.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, did not budge an inch: "Some things are better said clearly."


    "Alright, if you pass the Iron Man Pass after I check, then I''ll apologize to you in public!" That referee Yang seemed to have gritted his teeth as he spoke these words.


    But Lin Tian still shook his head and was a bit unwilling to let it go: "I didn''t pass. You weren''t polite to me, but I did. You were only apologizing. I''m afraid you can''t be justified ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian was not afraid of this referee at all. In reality, from the beginning, this referee had made things difficult for Lin Tian because it made him a bit angry. Afterwards, the two of them were at loggerheads and wanted to fight each other.


    It was Zhang Kun who separated the two.


    But did she really think he was easy to bully?


    If it wasn''t for Lin Tian deliberately enduring, with his vengeful nature, he would have already made his move.


    But how could he just let it go so easily?


    "Oh, then what do you want?" The referee named Yang forcefully suppressed the anger in his chest, but everyone could hear the iciness in his tone.


    "Simple. Kneel down and call me grandpa three times!" Lin Tian impolitely said.


    Doubts were actually fine. They wouldn''t arouse any displeasure from Lin Tian, but his attitude was naturally bad for someone like the referee.


    "You are courting death!" That referee surnamed Yang could no longer endure it. Just as he was about to make his move, a voice from beside him suddenly reached his ears, causing him to stop his hand.


    On the contrary, he chuckled, "Alright, I agree. I want to see how far you can go when I expose you later!"


    As he spoke, Judge Yang entered the Iron Man Pass.


    With his departure, the clamor from the audience grew even louder.


    All of them were existences that had passed the Iron Body Trial and remained behind. Thus, they naturally knew how sad the Iron Body Trial was, and how powerful the Iron Body was. All of them knew about this.


    But now, this Lin Tian actually dared to say that he passed the Iron Man Trial''s exam. This was something that no one believed.


    Moreover, right now, the relationship between Lin Tian and that referee surnamed Yang was completely at odds.


    Everyone had a look of watching a show. They wanted to see how the referee Yang would deal with Lin Tian after he came out.


    One had to know that they were all opponents, especially now. After passing all five rounds, they were all going to participate in the battle of a thousand kingdom.


    They were all opponents in the battle of a thousand kingdoms, so it was naturally better to have one less opponent.


    At this time, Gu Yan''er and the others looked at Lin Tian with a face full of concern.


    They were also worried about the outcome.


    "It''s fine." Lin Tian slightly nodded his head, as if this plan was within his grasp.


    Ah!" Right at this moment, an extremely sharp roar suddenly sounded from within the iron man trial.


    Everyone in the audience was startled.


    Needless to say, that voice was naturally sent by the referee Yang ¡­


    But, what did he see in that Iron Man Pass?

 C400 Kneel down and call me grandpa!

    What happened inside was undoubtedly what everyone was most concerned about at this moment.


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with a cold smile as he quietly waited for the judge to come out.


    "How is this possible, how is this possible!" Not long after, Judge Yang came out from the Iron Man Pass.


    However, the current him had a face full of fear, as though he had seen something extremely terrifying ¡­


    Not only that, he kept repeating the same words over and over again.


    Everyone in the stadium was even more puzzled. Although they did not know what had happened, they could guess a little from the referee''s appearance ¡­


    Could it be that this boy had really destroyed all of those iron men?


    In an instant, everyone in the audience started guessing in surprise and doubt.


    Looking at referee Yang''s expression and what he said, only this conjecture could be considered to be the most suitable for the current situation.


    However, when everyone guessed this, their breathing quickened.


    How was this possible!


    Judge Yang had mentioned the Iron Man Pass before.


    Ever since Ling Xiao was established, no one had been able to defeat these iron men. Even the closest one had fought for a whole day and night.


    But in the end, it all came to naught.


    But this kid, how long did he stay inside?


    Not even an incense stick''s time had passed!


    In other words, this kid didn''t even take an incense stick of time to break through Iron Man Pass?


    What kind of joke was this?


    These words couldn''t even be said out loud. However, looking at referee Yang''s expression, they couldn''t help but believe it!


    "I don''t believe it, I don''t believe it!" Just as everyone was in shock, the referee surnamed Yang once again angrily roared. At that moment, he was like a madman, yelling at Lin Tian.


    "You are just a trash that came from a small country, how could you break through the Iron Man Pass? You must have borrowed someone else''s hand!" When referee Yang entered the Iron Man Pass earlier, he naturally saw Lin Tian alone destroying all of those iron men.


    In his heart, he didn''t believe it at all. However, when the truth was placed in front of him, he couldn''t help but believe it.


    As a result, his mental state had an enormous drop. Even until now, he still had not eased up. On the contrary, he actually wanted to pour all sorts of dirty water on Lin Tian.


    The audience was once again dumbstruck.


    How could they not understand the meaning behind Judge Yang''s words?


    That Lin Tian, he actually, he really did pass that Iron Man Trial''s examination!


    Moreover, the most crucial point was that he actually broke through the Iron Man Pass within the time it took for an incense stick to burn!


    But how could this be possible!?


    For a moment, everyone was stunned and unable to react.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian was the first to make a move.


    He didn''t hesitate at all to use the God Transforming Steps to its extreme speed. His hands formed claws and grabbed toward the referee.


    The referee had already seen that he was able to destroy the iron man by himself.


    Naturally, he was right.


    This referee surnamed Yang, it was time for him to fulfill his promise.


    "Kneel down, call me grandpa!" Lin Tian grabbed Judge Yang''s shoulder and then grabbed it in front of himself.


    "Little bastard, you dare to attack me!" Although the mental gap made it hard for the referee to accept it in that short moment, his strong fighting spirit was still triggered when someone attacked him.


    Especially since the person who attacked him was Lin Tian!


    The referee flipped his hand to grab Lin Tian''s arm and was about to directly grab it and cripple it.


    Lin Tian''s body suddenly charged forward, directly colliding with the referee.


    Ah!" Accompanied by a mournful scream, the referee''s body suddenly emitted a burst of kacha, the sound of bone cracking could be heard.


    Lin Tian still hadn''t let go and was still holding onto the referee''s shoulder.


    "Kneel down and call me grandpa!" Lin Tian softly said.


    "Little bastard, don''t even think about it!" That referee Yang had a savage look on his face as he roared at Lin Tian.


    "Hard bones?" Lin Tian faintly smiled: "What I like the most are tough bones!"


    In the next moment, Lin Tian abruptly grabbed the referee''s right arm. In the next moment, he used all the strength in his body to forcefully raise the referee.


    Immediately, he ruthlessly smashed towards the ground.


    "Kacha, kacha!" The sound of bones shattering was heard once again.


    At the same time, the referee screamed in fear.


    "Kneel down, call me grandpa three times, and I''ll let you go!" Lin Tian remained expressionless as he continued to speak.


    "Little bastard, if you have the guts, then kill me!" The referee surnamed Yang''s bones were all broken, but the broken bones only caused him an extremely painful sensation. Besides that, they had no other effect on him.


    "I admit defeat. You''re a dignified disciple of the Holy Sect of Soaring Clouds, yet you can''t even do that. How could there be trash like you in the Holy Sect of Soaring Cloud?!"


    Lin Tian spat once and continued to raise the referee named Yang''s body and fiercely threw him down.


    "Lin Tian, stop!" At this time, Zhang Kun Deng couldn''t stand it anymore and roared crazily.


    Zhang Kun was the one who had received them, so it wasn''t right for him to stand there motionlessly.


    That referee Yang was a member of their Skycloud Sect. At this moment, being treated like this by a student from a small and remote country, anyone would feel that they had lost face.


    "Let me stop. Let him keep his promise." Lin Tian faintly smiled, not moving in the slightest.


    "How dare you! This is the Virtuous Heaven Sect! How dare you beat up a student of the Sect! Do you want to die? Stop it right now!" Hearing that Lin Tian dared to bargain with him, Zhang Kun Deng became even angrier.


    "A disciple of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect can''t even beat a student from a small and remote country like me. Hahaha, the so-called Ling Xiao Sacred Sect is one of the six Sacred Sects in the Western Spirit Region. I think it''s nothing special!" Lin Tian did not pay any attention to it. He once again raised the referee and once again fell to the ground.


    That referee surnamed Yang was like a doll being played by Lin Tian.


    "How dare you!"


    "What big words you have there!"


    "Truly courting death!"


    The next moment, the disciples of the Ling Xiao Saint Sect standing not far away were all enraged by Lin Tian''s words.


    At this moment, they were all yelling at Lin Tian.


    "Oh, what, you can''t beat a single one, so you want to go up together?" Lin Tian had a cold smile on his face: "I never thought that the Ling Xiao Saint Sect, one of the six great Saint sects, would actually nurture a group of people like you. Using numbers to bully the young, come, I''m afraid that you and I aren''t called Lin Tian!"


    "A bunch of trash!" Lin Tian cursed one last time.


    This action was no different from adding oil to the fire. At this moment, all of the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect glared at them. In the next moment, all of them could no longer hold themselves back.


    He directly made a move towards Lin Tian.


    "Stop!" But just at this moment, the old voice that had appeared a moment ago appeared again ¡­

 C401 Hidden crisis

    "Step down!" The old voice roared once again.


    This time, all of the disciples were stunned by that elderly voice.


    However, without a doubt, those students respectfully retreated. No one dared to come forward again.


    "Cloud Sky Sect''s Worryfree Peak, Full Moon Cave''s disciple, Yang Qian, has violated the rules of the sect. From today onwards, he will be disqualified from his studies and expelled from the sect!" Right at this moment, that aged voice suddenly sounded out. Never did he expect that this aged voice was actually announcing Yang Qian''s crime.


    Yang Qian was naturally that Judge Yang from before.


    Everyone in the audience was stunned as soon as the announcement was made. No one had expected such an outcome.


    It was obvious that Lin Tian had beaten Yang Qian into such a miserable state. However, how could it be possible now? In the end, the final result was such a severe punishment for Yang Qian.


    This Yang Qian was their own disciple, on the contrary, that Lin Tian was only a student from a small country.


    How could this be possible? How could they treat him in such a different manner?


    "Lin Tian!" At this moment, the elderly voice spoke again, "You are still satisfied with my punishment. If you are satisfied, please let that Yang Qian go ¡­ ¡­"


    "Of course!" Lin Tian didn''t waste any time on nonsense. This Yang Qian had already taught him a lesson by looking down on people.


    Furthermore, this person who spoke with such an ancient voice, he must be one of the higher echelons of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    He didn''t want to offend him because of this, so Lin Tian didn''t even think about it and directly sent Yang Qian flying with a kick.


    At this time, the head of the punishment cave, Leng Feng, who was in charge of supervising all the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, walked out.


    Their punishment cave was responsible for supervising the other 107 holes of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    At this moment, that great character had already spoken, he wanted to cripple Yang Qian''s cultivation and chase him out of the Holy Sect. This was naturally for him to do personally.


    At this time, Yang Qian had already fainted.


    Lin Tian''s physical body was invincible. After a few consecutive attacks, he did not hold back at all.


    Yang Qian was naturally unable to bear it and had already fainted.


    After Yang Qian was taken away by Leng Feng, the crowd instantly quietened down.


    But at this moment, among those people below the stage, no one dared to underestimate this Lin Tian in front of them anymore ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s eyes also flickered. He was waiting for that old voice to continue speaking.


    In the next moment, the old voice once again spoke. However, this time around, it was an extremely simple two words: "Continue!"


    That''s right, there were only four rounds of the five rounds of exams. There were still five rounds left.


    The students immediately became silent. No one spoke a word and continued to line up for the fifth round of the assessment.


    For the five rounds of the assessment, students were assessed in every aspect from Blood Aura, Strength, Cultivation Stage, Combat Strength, and Soul Depth.


    It could be said that these five rounds were enough to assess a student''s current strength and potential for the future.


    Lin Tian did not waste any time talking and continued to stand at the back of the team.


    At this time, no matter if it was those who had mocked Lin Tian before, or those who had underestimated Lin Tian, they were all looking at Lin Tian with a face full of fear.


    It was only because the strength that Lin Tian had displayed was too terrifying.


    Especially that suspense from before, they had never known about it.


    Lin Tian, did he pass the Iron Man Trial''s exam or not?


    Only, no one said anything more about this matter, but from Yang Qian''s reaction, it was very likely that Lin Tian had really cleared the level.


    But the more it was like this, the more the other students feared it.


    In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had passed the Iron Man Trial''s examination. With this level of strength, no matter who it was, no one could ignore it.


    It was very possible that in the future assessment, Lin Tian would be their greatest enemy!


    After all, everyone was going to participate in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms!


    At this time, Zhang Kun was carefully sizing up Lin Tian.


    Had he still underestimated the kid in front of him?


    Actually, he should have taken this kid seriously from the very beginning.


    Tian Luo had fallen for so many years, could it be that this time, he would rise again because of the little fellow in front of him?


    But when he thought of this, Zhang Kun was somewhat unwilling to accept it.


    The duck he got was going to fly.


    Actually from the beginning, when Lin Tian checked his own blood energy, Zhang Kun had already vaguely felt that this boy''s blood energy was very strong.


    This was a perfect shell.


    It had to be known that as Zhang Kun neared his end, at most, he would be able to live for a little longer. The Lin Tian in front of him was undoubtedly the best body.


    Not long ago, he obtained a secret technique called the Deicide Conjuration.


    He could use a secret technique to destroy the enemy''s soul.


    When that time came, he would occupy the nest of the magicians and occupy Lin Tian''s body. At that time, with his new body, he would definitely be able to go further in the martial way and achieve an even higher achievement.


    However, the following turn of events forced Zhang Kun to rethink the situation.


    That old voice just now was none other than the current head of the nine peaks, the Peak Master of the Lingxiao Peak, and also the Great Elder of the Lingxiao Saint Sect.


    This person''s status was below one person and above everyone else.


    Especially right now, since the head of the school had been in closed-door training for ten years now.


    This Great Elder Ling Wuji could already be considered to be the substitute sect head of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    The voice that sounded so old was from Ling Wuji.


    In other words, this Lin Tian had already been chosen by Ling Wuji.


    This is also a common occurrence ¡­


    Just a moment ago, why did Yang Qian get abandoned like an abandoned child? It was simply because of Lin Tian''s display of talent, and the fact that he was worthy of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect''s attention.


    Compared to Lin Tian, that Yang Qian did not matter ¡­ ¡­


    Thinking of this, Zhang Kun became deeply conflicted.


    He knew that in front of him, was an extremely great opportunity. If he succeeded in seizing Lin Tian''s body, he would rise dramatically in the future.


    However, if they failed, they would die early.


    In any case, dying early or late didn''t make much of a difference.


    Thinking of this, Zhang Kun Deng made up his mind.


    In the darkness, he had obtained the God Slaying Art and even delivered a perfect body. If he were to give up now, wouldn''t he be letting down the beauty of the heavens?


    Zhang Kun made his decision. Of course, the current Lin Tian did not know about it.


    He had sensed Zhang Kun''s ill intentions, but he had no idea that Zhang Kun had already made up his mind.

 C402 Mind barrier!

    "Zhang Fan, Xiao Chen, Li Qingzhou ¡­" Lin Tian! " At this moment, in the fifth test, before the Mentality Barrier.


    The student in charge of the mental state assessment began to recite the name.


    There wasn''t anything special about the Mentality Trial.


    From Lin Tian''s current point of view, it should be a formation that could create illusions.


    In this round of the Mentality Trial, one could take a fairly large number of tests at once. Thus, their speed was extremely fast.


    Honestly speaking, the Mentality Trial might be a huge challenge for the other students, but for Lin Tian, it was extremely simple.


    The reason was very simple, it was because Lin Tian had already experienced it all.


    Whether it was the nightmare he had encountered in the Exquisite Pagoda''s trial or the ancient bell test that Lin Tian had passed during the new student ceremony at the Azure Province Academy.


    Lin Tian Zhen had already experienced this many times.


    The rules of the Will of Mind Trial were quite simple as well. It took him an incense stick of time to complete it.


    However, the difference between this and Iron Man Fortress was that during the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he didn''t have to persevere, but instead, he had to be at the lowest standard.


    That was also to say that the amount of time he''d been lost in that illusion world wouldn''t exceed an incense stick''s worth of time.


    On the contrary, he had to pass the Will of Mind Trial in the time it takes for an incense to burn.


    After an incense stick of time, he would be eliminated.


    In the fourth trial of Iron Man, along with this one, a lot of people had already been eliminated.


    His consciousness turned.


    In that instant, Lin Tian felt that he had arrived in another world.


    This time, Lin Tian did not see his parents, nor Uncle Yu, nor Xiao Yunhai, nor Yun Huang.


    The people that were extremely important to Lin Tian and the people that could possibly affect his state of mind almost all did not appear.


    On the contrary, the illusion this time was a dead end.


    There was nothing around.


    But Lin Tian stood there for a long time as he suddenly heard bursts of explosions.


    Following which, the demonic beast steps on the ground, emitting an extremely terrifying sensation of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking ¡­


    After a long time, not long after, Lin Tian actually discovered that beside him, astonishingly, appeared an endless number of demon beasts.


    Beast tide!


    An extremely vicious demon beast bared its fangs and brandished its claws, baring its fangs as it charged towards Lin Tian.


    "Hehe, such a low level illusion, it actually wants to interfere with my mind?" Lin Tian laughed, he did not have any intention of attacking.


    Until one beast after another rushed in front of Lin Tian and wanted to bite off Lin Tian''s neck to kill him.


    Lin Tian gently smiled and said: "It is just an illusion. Then, break it for me!"


    Saying this, in the next moment, the endless amount of monsters that surrounded Lin Tian all disappeared.


    A figure slowly appeared in front of Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian''s consciousness returned to his body and he opened his eyes.


    The Mentality Trial was only mediocre!


    Lin Tian left. Before he left, he turned his head to look at the time used for the incense stick to burn.


    At this moment, the incense stick looked like it had just been lit. There was not the slightest bit of incense!


    Shocked shouts rang out from the audience once again.


    "Ten seconds!"


    "He hasn''t even broken through the illusion?"


    At this time, even the judge in charge of the exam was looking at Lin Tian with a bit of surprise.


    "Seven seconds!" The referee asked incredulously.


    He naturally knew that Lin Tian had only used seven seconds to break through the illusion and regain consciousness!


    Seven seconds, he had just entered the illusion and he had already broken through the illusion, walking out of the illusion ¡­


    And at this time, Lin Tian had also set a record for the past passage of the Heart Trial in the history of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    The referee was still in a trance when he thought of this.


    However, when the other disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect saw this scene, they solemnly remembered the name Lin Tian in their minds.


    He had to recruit him in the future.


    The Great War of a Thousand Kingdom was just an interlude to the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. No one cared which kingdoms would end up in the Upper Kingdom and which kingdoms would end up in the Lower Kingdom.


    None of this mattered to them. So what if they were from a higher realm? In front of the Cloudsoaring sect, just a small portion of disciples would be enough to annihilate any super kingdom ten or eight times over.


    What they really cared about was the ten thousand people this time.


    The various countries sent out ten top geniuses, and in the end, some of the more outstanding students would naturally join the Holy Sect.


    These disciples who had the qualifications to enter the Holy Sect in Soaring Cloud City were the only ones worth recruiting.


    Because they had value.


    Moreover, if it was a disciple with outstanding talent, the Glory Sect would place great expectations on him and give him endless cultivation resources to help him cultivate.


    Such a disciple was even more worth recruiting.


    Obviously, Lin Tian was such a disciple.


    If the pillar at the Blood Aura Mountain Pass was destroyed and the stone monument at the Strength Trial was not enough, then, after clearing the Iron Man Pass, he would have broken the record of "zero breakthrough" in the history of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. In addition, just now, at the Mentality Trial, in seven seconds, he would have passed the test of the Mentality Trial and once again broken the record of the Mentality Trial.


    It was enough to prove everything.


    Furthermore, there was also Great Elder Ling Wuji, who had always been protecting Lin Tian. It was not hard to see that this Lin Tian was a Hidden Dragon soaring into the sky one day.


    Lin Tian still did not know anything, even though he was already remembered by countless of disciples from the Holy Sect.


    Lin Tian still didn''t know.


    He only knew that the five trials were over. The thousand kingdom battle should be next.


    He was rather curious, just what were the rules of the battle this time.


    From the looks of it, the following days would not be too boring.


    At the same time, Ling Xiao Peak.


    Great Elder Ling Wuyou sat on the throne in the great hall.


    Below the grand hall, there were eight chairs, each of which were respectively occupied by the leaders of the other eight peaks of the Skycloud Sect.


    These nine, were the nine strongest people in the entire Holy Sect.


    Of course, it was led by the Peak Master of Lingxiao Peak, Ling Wuji.


    "What do you think about this child?" Ling Wuji spoke blandly, then turned to the eight men.


    "Grand Elder, has this child really passed the Iron Man Pass?" In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a malicious face suddenly stood up and asked.


    "Wuyou, are you blaming me for sullying your face earlier and expelling that disciple of yours from the sect, Yang Qian, in front of everyone?" Ling Wuji''s eyes were sharp as he stared at the middle-aged man.


    This middle-aged man was the Peak Master of the Worryfree Peak, Ling Wuyou, one of the nine peaks.


    Yang Qian, who had his cultivation destroyed and was chased out of the sect, was the Peak Master of the Worryfree Peak. Since his tone was not friendly, Ling Wuji naturally understood what he meant.


    "Great Elder is too serious. This subordinate does not dare to do so. It''s just that I really want to know, has that kid really passed through the Iron Man Pass?" Ling Wuyou felt that there was something wrong with his tone. This time, he asked calmly.


    "Of course." Ling Wuji blandly smiled, "If you don''t believe me, you can go and have a look."


    "Alright, I will take my leave then. I will go check it out now ¡­" Saying that, Ling Wuyou turned around and left.


    The others were suspicious as well and all said, "We''ll go check it out as well."


    As he spoke, they followed Ling Wuyou.


    Ling Wuji was the only one left in this huge hall.


    Ling Wuji looked at the departing backs of the crowd with a smile that was not a smile, and said with a soft sigh, "With these people here, when will my Lingxiao Sect be able to compete with the Emerald Martial Palace, Changchun Palace and Sword Palace?"


    His words were extremely sorrowful, but Ling Wuyou and the others could no longer hear him ¡­

 C403 An extraordinary genius

    At the same time, with the combined strength of many judges, the rankings of these students were finally decided.


    This time, over a thousand kingdoms had selected over ten thousand students.


    After five rounds of exams, over three thousand people were eliminated.


    Until now, there were only eight thousand people left.


    But these eight thousand people still needed to take part in five more rounds. Only the top five thousand would have the right to enter the thousand kingdom war.


    As for the remaining contestants, they were all eliminated.


    This was the first time in so many years that this rule was extremely cruel.


    After the rankings were announced, it was immediately announced.


    At the entrance of the mountain, a golden light suddenly flickered on a large stone pillar, as each name was listed on it.


    The first person in the lead was Lin Tian''s name.


    Lin Tian only slightly swept his eyes, not paying too much attention.


    This was because he''d already noticed that there were already quite a few gazes looking at him from the surroundings.


    Basically, they, the students, would be competing after these five rounds.


    It was only natural for someone to have their eyes on him.


    But Lin Tian wasn''t afraid. Sooner or later he would have to fight with them, no matter what happens sooner or later.


    While the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect were busy selecting the participants of the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms.


    Ling Wuyou and the other Peak Masters had already rushed to the Iron Man Pass.


    However, these people didn''t affect the others at all.


    He arrived at the Iron Man Pass.


    Ling Wuyou was stunned ¡­


    When the others saw the change in front of them, they were also stunned.


    These top experts of the Skycloud Sect, upon seeing this scene in front of them, couldn''t help but find it hard to believe.


    There was no other reason but that everything that had happened before them was too shocking.


    At this moment, the iron men were all pierced through the neck by an external force. Their heads were drooping and they did not move.


    "How, how is this possible?" Ling Wuyou was still breathing heavily as he looked at the iron men. It was obvious that he didn''t dare to believe it.


    He was one of the few people with the most power in the Holy Sect. How could he not know the secrets of this Iron Man Pass?


    This Iron Man Pass was one of the nine peaks, the masterpiece of the Tian Ji Summit.


    Naturally, there was no need to mention the materials used to make these iron men. However, the key point was that these iron men, when combined, would form a mechanism.


    If he wanted to break through this mechanism, he would need to find the iron man''s mingmen.


    In other words, it was the eye of the entire Iron Body mechanism.


    Tian Ji Summit was one of the nine peaks of the Heaven''s Secret Sect. It had existed for thousands of years as a blacksmith in the Heaven''s Secret Sect.


    A metal man created by the Tian Ji Summit, how could it be so easy to break.


    This was also the reason why almost no one had been able to pass the Iron Man Pass in the past thousands of years.


    Of course, it was not as if no one had found the mechanism eye. There were many students who had found the iron man''s mingmen, that is, its neck.


    That was the only weakness.


    However, just finding an iron man''s weakness was not enough. Once you break an iron man, the other iron men would quickly rush forward to fill in this weakness.


    Therefore, there was only one way to thoroughly break out of this Iron man trial, and that was to completely break the iron men''s necks in the blink of an eye.


    This way, he would be able to destroy all the iron man traps.


    Once the iron man was stabbed in the neck, he would lose his ability to fight.


    In this way, once all the iron men had been stabbed in the neck, they would naturally pass the Iron Man Trial ¡­


    However, not to mention how difficult it was to find the weaknesses of iron men, how long would it take and how much elemental energy would it take to destroy them?


    Then, this way, the problem would be ¡­


    How had that student managed to find the iron man''s weakness within the time it took for an incense stick to burn? Furthermore, he had thoroughly stabbed the iron man, clearing the level?


    No one could understand ¡­


    This was also the reason why these top masters were so shocked.


    "Could it be that an expert is helping?" Right at this moment, a nearby Peak Master couldn''t help but ask.


    Ling Wuyou shook his head gently, "That''s impossible. The secret of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, as well as the people from our own sect, are naturally not to be leaked. If that''s the case, who else would help us?"


    As he said this, Ling Wuyou continued: "Even with my strength, without knowing the weaknesses of these iron men, if I want to break through these iron men, it will take more than an incense''s time ¡­"


    As he said that, Ling Wuyou suddenly saw the summit lord of the Tian Ji Summit by the side, Ling Tian. He slapped his forehead and said, "I am truly confused. Brother Tian is here, let Brother Tian take a look. I can''t find any clues ¡­"


    The rest of them also laughed out loud. The leader of the Tian Ji Summit was here, but they wanted to draw their own deduction ¡­


    Ling Tian gently nodded his head before carefully inspecting the iron men.


    Not long later, Ling Tian finally regained his senses. However, his face was filled with shock as he said to Ling Wuyou: "Brother Wuyou, I''m afraid that the Great Elder has matched it this time ¡­"


    At this moment, Ling Wuyou''s face was full of confusion. He didn''t know what Ling Tian meant by that.


    The others also looked at Ling Tianji in confusion.


    Only now did Ling Tian realize that his words were a bit too general. He hurriedly said, "What I mean is, this time, my Lingxiao Sacred Sect is going to produce an extraordinary genius!"


    The next moment, Ling Wuyou seemed to understand what Ling Tian meant, but then he said: "Tian Ji, are you sure?"


    "I am not lying at all ¡­" Ling Tian then pointed at the iron men and said in an earth-shattering manner, "These iron men have all been destroyed ¡­"


    "What?"


    "How is this possible?"


    "Brother Heavencraft, don''t joke with me ¡­"


    In an instant, everyone else cried out.


    Obviously, these words were too shocking to them.


    Earlier, there were also students who found the iron man''s weakness and broke many of his iron men. However, after that, Tian Ji Summit would send disciples to repair these iron men. They had never heard of crippling him.


    However, now that Ling Tian had openly declared that he was crippled, everyone was shocked.


    Ling Wuyou''s face darkened, then he said: "Everyone, Brother Destiny, as the creator of this iron man, he knows this better than us. Since he said it is scrapped, then it must be so ¡­"


    The others immediately returned to their senses and became silent.


    Ling Wuyou sighed and said again, "Brother Destiny, please continue..."

 C404 Late night crisis

    "Everyone, I believe you all should know that this iron man was created by my Tian Ji Summit. This kind of metal man is made from black iron. Normal weapons, even some extremely destructive treasures, would find it difficult to harm this kind of man." At this moment, Ling Tian continued speaking.


    "Before this, there were some students who could have broken this iron man, but they could only cut off his head. Moreover, the number of people who could have cut off his head was extremely small. Very few could have done so. One strike was enough to kill all the iron men!"


    There was also some shock in Ling Tian''s tone.


    "Brother Heavencraft, don''t keep us in suspense. Tell us what happened to the cripple ¡­" At this moment, a person couldn''t help but interrupt Ling Tian''s words.


    "This is simple." Ling Tian said without hesitation.


    With that, he picked up an iron man, pointed at the iron man''s neck, and said to the crowd: "This iron man''s mingmen, is on his neck, ordinary people, even if they cut off his neck, my Tian Ji Summit''s people can still bind their neck and reattach his head."


    "But, I can''t do it now ¡­" Ling Tian let out a long sigh as he spoke.


    "Why?" Ling Wuyou frowned and could not help but ask.


    "The mechanism in the iron man''s neck was destroyed ¡­" Ling Tian said in disbelief.


    "Hmm?" Ling Wuyou immediately understood the meaning behind Ling Tian''s words.


    If he didn''t guess wrong, the reason why he could place the iron man''s head back on was because the mechanism had not been broken.


    However, once the mechanism was destroyed, there was naturally no other way ¡­


    Once they understood this point, everyone fell silent.


    They were all a bit shocked. How terrifying was that brat called Lin Tian to be able to directly destroy those iron men.


    This meant that within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, this brat had discovered the location of the iron man''s mechanical eyes. Furthermore, he could rely on his own strength to completely destroy these iron men ¡­


    They also suddenly understood why Ling Tian was right when he said that the Great Elder was probably right. They also understood why he said that the Lingxiao Saint Sect was going to receive an extraordinary genius this time around.


    After all, passing the Iron Man Pass, it was already enough to explain everything. Furthermore, they now understood how the Iron Man Pass was broken ¡­


    Ling Wuyou was also surprised. To be honest, he found it hard to believe.


    Especially after facing such an outcome, he didn''t know what to say.


    At the same time, after the rankings were completed, it was already nearing evening. This time around, five rounds of assessment had taken an entire day''s worth of time.


    Thus, after the assessment was over, the eliminated students were sent back to their own kingdoms.


    Fortunately, in the whole of Tian Luo Country, only Chu Feng had been eliminated.


    Of course, they would also rest here and wait until tomorrow to officially begin the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms!


    "Let''s go." After sending Chu Feng off, the envoy, Zhang Kun, brought Lin Tian and the others to the Holy Sect.


    Not far from the entrance of the mountain, there were rows of houses. This was the place for these students to rest.


    Only, before Zhang Kun left, he left a message for Lin Tian.


    "Wait for me at the entrance of the mountain tonight ¡­"


    Lin Tian calmly noted this down and then entered the room.


    He didn''t need to guess to know that Zhang Kun had no good intentions in finding him ¡­


    However, whether it was a blessing or a curse, he couldn''t avoid it. Even if he didn''t go looking for Zhang Kun, Zhang Kun might have gone looking for him.


    The night was bleak, and the Cloudsoaring sect, which was located deep within the mountain peaks, was even more frightening.


    Lin Tian kept on waiting until it was time. Only then did Lin Tian quietly leave the house.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t expect that not long after Lin Tian got up, someone would follow Lin Tian and walk out of the room.


    The house they were living in wasn''t far from the mountain gate. In just a few moments, Lin Tian had arrived in front of the mountain gate.


    As expected, Zhang Kun didn''t lie to him. At this time, he was waiting right in front of the mountain gate.


    Seeing that Lin Tian had arrived, Zhang Kun happily said: "Not bad, you really are a person who keeps his word."


    "Speak, why did you call me here?" Lin Tian softly asked.


    However, he had adjusted the strength of his body to its best. Moreover, he gently summoned the Mythical Beast Icy Silkworm on his left arm. If Zhang Kun wanted to attack him, he would first strike with lightning speed.


    "This isn''t the place to talk, follow me ¡­" Zhang Kun softly said. After which, he was about to leave when Lin Tian once again spoke: "If you have anything to say, you should say it here. If you do not, I will return ¡­"


    He was unfamiliar with this place, so it was impossible for him to leave with Zhang Kun.


    Lin Tian had seen Zhang Kun''s strength before, in the Tian Luo Kingdom, with Luo Tian Yi''s Death Profound Realm strength, he could not even withstand a single strike from Zhang Kun, so he was definitely not Zhang Kun''s opponent ¡­


    "What? Scared?" When Zhang Kun heard Lin Tian''s words, he could not help but laugh as he spoke.


    But then he said, "Don''t you want to know the rules of this Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms in advance?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he smiled: "This, tomorrow, I will naturally know. What benefits would there be if I knew in advance?"


    "In that case, it''s up to you." Zhang Kun didn''t say anything else as he turned around and left.


    "Since I''m already here, I might as well explain myself..." With that, Lin Tian chased after Zhang Kun.


    But Zhang Kun didn''t care about it at all, he was only focused on crazily rushing forward, completely ignoring Lin Tian who was behind him.


    Lin Tian didn''t say anything more. His face became even gloomier as it was unknown what he was thinking.


    Not long after the two of them left, there were a few people successively who followed the footsteps of Lin Tian and Zhang Kun.


    A moment later, a couple more people suddenly appeared in front of the mountain gate.


    However, these people were none other than the current Peak Masters of the nine peaks.


    The one in the lead was the current grand elder of the Skycloud Sect, Ling Wuji!


    Ling Wuyou could not help but ask: "Great Elder, did you call us here to see those stinking brats and that trash Zhang Kun?"


    "No worries, no rush. The good show is about to begin!" Ling Wuji seemed to have something to say.


    The others were slightly startled, but in the next moment, the nine of them disappeared into the night.

 C405 Ghost valley

    "Can you say it now?" Lin Tian closely followed Zhang Kun all the way until they arrived at an extremely strange valley. Only then did Zhang Kun suddenly stop his steps.


    "Brat, you don''t want to know?" Zhang Kun smiled coldly. After which, he smiled at Lin Tian and said, "Why have you been following me all the way to this place?"


    "Since the lord envoy is willing to say it, it would not be good for me to brush away the envoy''s intentions ¡­" Lin Tian smiled faintly.


    However, he was on full alert.


    His Spiritual Energy spread out like tentacles as he probed his surroundings.


    But in this way, it made Lin Tian knit his brows even more tightly.


    That''s right, the place he was currently in, was very much like a graveyard. He could clearly sense the heavy death aura around him, and even had an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.


    "This old thing really has no good intentions!" Lin Tian coldly snorted. In reality, he had already guessed it.


    During the day, when he had to pass the fifth round of examination, Horned Demon had already reminded himself many times.


    Lin Tian''s heart had already given an early warning.


    He hadn''t thought that this old thing would act so quickly. He actually wanted to make a move on him tonight?


    However, this was in line with Lin Tian''s intentions.


    After all, since this old thing had set his sights on him, he had to solve this problem as soon as possible. He did not want this old thing to deal with him while he was participating in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tianming knew that this old thing had ill intentions and still wanted to follow him.


    "Do you know where we are?" Zhang Kun carefully looked Lin Tian up and down, almost as if he was looking at something.


    "I don''t know, but Sir Envoy, didn''t you want to tell me the rules for the Great Thousand Empire War tomorrow? Since I''ve come, please speak!" Lin Tian''s tone immediately turned cold.


    "No rush, no rush ¡­" Zhang Kun slightly waved his hand, then turned to Lin Tian, "This place is the Ghost Barge of the Virtuous Cloud Sect ¡­"


    Zhang Kun continued to introduce himself, "To put it bluntly, this place should be a tomb. Of course, this is also one of the most dangerous places in our Lingxiao Holy Sect. The reason we call this place a ''dead zone'' is because not only are there a lot of corpses here, there are also some terrifying creatures ¡­"


    As Zhang Kun spoke, he extended his hand towards the Demon Valley.


    In the next moment, Zhang Kun suddenly let out a miserable scream. In the next moment, his face became even more sinister ¡­


    Under the illumination of the moonlight, Lin Tian could clearly see Zhang Kun''s sinister face. In the next moment, Zhang Kun fiercely pulled his arm back.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" This time, even Lin Tian was a bit shocked and couldn''t help but take in a breath of cold air.


    It turned out that Zhang Kun''s arm no longer had any flesh. There was only a piece of bone on it ¡­


    This time, Lin Tian also saw it clearly.


    The place where Zhang Kun was standing seemed to be a barrier. Inside the barrier, Lin Tian could only see a bunch of dark shadows. Other than them, he could not see them clearly.


    Zhang Kun looked at Lin Tian, then laughed sinisterly: "Did you see it clearly, this is the Demon Valley!"


    As he spoke, Zhang Kun took out a silver jade bottle and poured out a few drops of liquid from it. With the nourishment of the liquid, Lin Tian quickly discovered that Zhang Kun''s arm immediately recovered.


    "There seems to be a tail. Stay here for now, I''ll go clean up those tails ¡­" In the next moment, Zhang Kun who had his arm restored suddenly raised his head, stretched his arm, and said to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly froze, but Zhang Kun had already rushed out. At the same time, he also left a message: "I advise you not to leave without permission in the end, or else, I really can''t guarantee what will happen here ¡­ ¡­"


    "Lord Envoy, please don''t! Let us go, we don''t dare to do it anymore ¡­"


    "I beg of you, lord envoy, we really didn''t do it on purpose ¡­"


    Vaguely, Lin Tian seemed to hear the sound of someone begging for mercy.


    But the next moment, along with a few screams, there was no more sound.


    Not long after, Zhang Kun returned, but this time, he was carrying a few corpses in his hands. Those few corpses, Lin Tian was familiar with them, were the people who performed quite well during the five rounds of the assessment during the day.


    Moreover, these people seemed to have developed enmity towards Lin Tian during the day.


    Who would have thought that they would follow Lin Tian all the way here.


    However, even if Zhang Kun didn''t kill them, if Lin Tian found out, he would easily destroy them.


    Only, Lin Tian''s entire mind was on Zhang Kun''s meaning, he did not notice that there was already a group of people following behind him ¡­


    "Alright, now that everything is settled, we can start to talk about our matters." Zhang Kun did not hesitate and threw the corpses in his hands into the Demon Valley.


    Indeed, there was a barrier that sealed off the Demon Valley.


    However, the corpses had been thrown in without any hindrance.


    The next moment, behind the barrier, the shadow started to move.


    The next moment, chewing sounds came from behind the barrier ¡­


    "Grand Elder, this Zhang Kun has such big guts. He dared to kill all the students from other countries without permission. Moreover, he brought this brat to the Demon''s Valley. I will kill Zhang Kun right now!" Right at this moment, one of the nine people standing in the air looking down on the world, suddenly spoke to the Great Elder, Ling Wuji.


    That person was the Peak Master of the Spirit Mountain Peak, Ling Yue!


    That Zhang Kun was one of their disciples at the foot of the Spirit Mountain ¡­


    "He has guts. However, I want to see if this boy can give me a surprise. If he can, I will naturally give up on Zhang Kun. However, if he cannot, then I will be lucky ¡­" The First Elder smiled and said to everyone.


    The Great Elder seemed to be very clear about what Zhang Kun was going to do next. Thus, he did not hesitate when he spoke.


    As for killing a few of the kingdom''s disciples, that was even less of a problem.


    In the Cloudsoaring sect, there were no rules. Strength was the rule.


    If there was a student who could have just killed Zhang Kun, the head elder wouldn''t have been angry and would have instead trained him personally!


    The other Peak Masters of the other summits all quietly listened, not saying a word.


    "Kid, alright. Now, it''s time to get down to business!" At this time, Zhang Kun suddenly called out to Lin Tian.

 C406 Killing zhang kun

    "Speak!" Lin Tian was finally sure that this old thing was aiming for him.


    Since that was the case, he couldn''t let him leave here alive.


    All those who wanted to harm him, from the beginning till now, were all dead. Not a single one of them were still alive!


    This old thing was no exception.


    "Brat, look at me ¡­" At this moment, Zhang Kun suddenly laughed.


    "Hmm?" Hearing this voice, Lin Tian suddenly felt his hair stand on end as he looked towards Zhang Kun.


    At this time, Lin Tian''s gaze unexpectedly met with Zhang Kun''s eyes.


    "This is bad!" Lin Tian subconsciously felt that something was wrong.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian discovered that no matter what, he could not get rid of Zhang Kun''s eyes.


    Not long after, he felt his body suddenly weaken, as if he was extremely tired ¡­


    "Are you tired?" Zhang Kun chuckled, "Then let''s sleep ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s body suddenly stiffened. In the next moment, he fell flat on the ground ¡­


    "Heh, I had thought that this kid was extraordinary, but he was only mediocre. Even under the effects of my God Slayer Art, I still feel hatred!" Saying that, Zhang Kun lightly walked in front of Lin Tian.


    At first, Zhang Kun was a little worried, thinking that Lin Tian was trying to trick him.


    Thus, when he arrived in front of Lin Tian, Zhang Kun did not think in the slightest and directly slammed his palm onto Lin Tian''s body ¡­ ¡­


    "Bang bang!" The strength of one palm attack had directly sent Lin Tian flying. Seeing Lin Tian''s body fly backwards while the corner of his mouth was still covered in blood, Zhang Kun finally relaxed.


    Only then did he walk to Lin Tian''s side ¡­


    "First Elder, are you going to take action?" At this moment, Ling Tian couldn''t help but ask the Great Elder.


    His impression of Lin Tian was not bad, especially after he passed the Iron Man Pass. Ling Tianji was extremely curious about Lin Tian, so he couldn''t bear to do that.


    "No need, if this kid is really a genius, he wouldn''t have been killed so easily ¡­" Ling Wuji directly refused Ling Tian''s suggestion.


    The others remained silent.


    Ling Wuyou, on the other hand, asked, "Great Elder, what Zhang Kun just used was..."


    "It''s the power of a soul attack." Ling Wuji spoke blandly, "Zhang Kun must have gotten some good fortune recently. He must have gotten some secret methods. This guy called Lin Tian is his prey ¡­"


    At this point, everyone understood, but no one said anything. They just quietly looked at everything that was happening in front of them.


    "Lin Tian, Lin Tian, quickly wake up!" Just at that time, Zhang Kun who arrived in front of Lin Tian, patted Lin Tian''s face and then anxiously started to call out to Lin Tian.


    But no matter how he called out, Lin Tian had no intention of waking up.


    Zhang Kun was relieved. He stood up and started to move.


    "Brat, don''t blame me. If you want to blame something, blame yourself for being too outstanding. Genius, especially your physical body, really makes me salivate ¡­"


    "And your talent. If I''m not wrong, the blood aura on your body must be extremely strong. Even though you suppressed the blood aura around your body, you still destroyed that test column ¡­"


    "With this kind of physical body, if I''m not tempted, then I would be letting myself down ¡­"


    Zhang Kun began to busy himself as he spoke to Lin Tian, but it was more like he was talking to himself.


    Before long, Zhang Kun had finished his work.


    It turned out that Zhang Kun had dug a huge pit here.


    At this moment, he gently cut his arm, causing drops of black blood to flow out.


    An extremely foul stench emitted from his blood. It was obviously the result of his decline to the extreme, and the depletion of his blood energy.


    At this time, Zhang Kun also pulled Lin Tian over to the pit and cut Lin Tian''s arm.


    Blood that was bright red and glistening dripped down from Lin Tian''s arm, emitting an extremely strange fragrance.


    "Delicious! Truly delicious! Such powerful blood energy! Haha, I did not take such a huge risk in vain to capture you!" Zhang Kun''s eyes lit up, his face was filled with greed as he looked at Lin Tian''s body.


    Only, he didn''t notice in the slightest that Lin Tian''s left arm gradually began to become ice-cold.


    Even the surrounding air had become ice-cold.


    However, Zhang Kun thought that it was only because they were close to the Demon Valley that they felt the cold.


    And at this time, the speed of bleeding on Lin Tian''s arm also slowed down.


    The wound that had just been cut open had now astonishingly reformed into a scab and healed.


    Zhang Kun was even more excited, "He really has a strong body. He''s rich!"


    He grabbed Lin Tian''s left arm. He had just cut his right arm, and was about to slash his left arm.


    But the next moment when he grabbed Lin Tian''s left arm, an endless cold power immediately came from Lin Tian''s left arm.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhang Kun felt the icy power wrap around him.


    The next moment, he suddenly heard the whistling of the wind beside his ears. Of course, there was also the light sound of breathing.


    "You!" Zhang Kun Deng realized that something was wrong. He pulled out his arm and was about to throw out a palm attack.


    Lin Tian softly said: "If you want to go back on your word now, I''m afraid it''s a bit late!"


    With that, Lin Tian suddenly stood up. The Dragon Scale Spear suddenly flew over from the sky and directly thrust towards Zhang Kun.


    "Whoosh!" In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Scale Spear had pierced through Zhang Kun''s body and returned to Lin Tian''s hand.


    At the same time, Zhang Kun''s body, which was originally like an ice sculpture, suddenly collapsed.


    The ice on his body instantly shattered.


    As for Zhang Kun, because he was extremely powerful, he was not directly smashed into pieces by the Dragon Scale Spear ¡­


    However, at this moment, his body was limply lying on the ground, as though he couldn''t live for much longer ¡­


    "You, you actually... has my soul not been annihilated? " Zhang Kun looked at Lin Tian in disbelief as he trembled and shouted.


    "I''m sorry, I am a Symbol Master. Moreover, I am the very powerful kind ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled. In front of Lin Tian, if he attacked his soul, even if he died, he would not know how he died. For example, this Zhang Kun in front of him was a living example ¡­.


    Ah!" Zhang Kun screamed, "I can''t accept this!


    "Alright, I understand." In the next moment, Lin Tianlong''s Scaled Spear once again rushed out. The spear struck right at Zhang Kun''s heart and firmly nailed him to the ground.


    Zhang Kun''s voice suddenly stopped, but he was dead ¡­

 C407 Mantis and cicada

    In fact, even Lin Tian had to admit that Zhang Kun''s plan was almost perfect.


    However, he had miscalculated a bit.


    That was, Lin Tian was a very powerful Symbol Master.


    The power of his soul was incomparably tough, especially under the protection of the ancient dragon rune. He was almost invincible.


    Many people wanted to destroy Lin Tian''s soul and wanted to use the soul reaping technique to kill him.


    But in the end, wasn''t it still broken by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s soul was equivalent to a taboo. Whoever moved would die.


    Naturally, Zhang Kun was no exception.


    Lin Tian had long since made all his preparations. From his initial plans to his final moves, they were all within Lin Tian''s calculations.


    He didn''t know what method Zhang Kun used to deal with him, but he knew that Zhang Kun would definitely attack him.


    Zhang Kun''s strength was incomparably strong. With Lin Tian''s own strength, wanting to defeat him was practically impossible.


    And even if Lin Tian had a trump card, facing an expert one realm higher than him, he still wouldn''t be able to win.


    Not even Earth Fiend Yin Corpses.


    So Lin Tian thought over and over again. In the end, he was certain that he would need to use the power of the Ice Silkworm, the Divine Beast.


    The Ice Silkworm, as a divine beast, could release an extremely powerful ice-cold power. Only this kind of power could almost ignore the difference in realms.


    Also, the most important thing was that Zhang Kun actually used the soul attack at the end. For Lin Tian, it was easy to deal with.


    Although Zhang Kun was very careful, after using the God Slaying Art to attack Lin Tian, he was still worried and threw a punch towards Lin Tian.


    However, that fist was nothing to Lin Tian, who had an unparalleled physical body ¡­.


    Lin Tian persevered until the end before killing Zhang Kun in one go.


    Lin Tian didn''t continue to hesitate and directly took off Zhang Kun''s storage ring. Not only that, Lin Tian even specially plundered Zhang Kun''s body.


    Among Zhang Kun''s clothes, there was a piece of yellow cloth. Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly put his hands under Zhang Kun''s body. After he confirmed that Zhang Kun had nothing else on him, Lin Tian threw Zhang Kun''s corpse into the Demon Valley.


    At this time, when Lin Tian stood close, he finally discovered the secret technique of the Demon Valley.


    Outside of the Demon Abyss, it should be a protective screen that was similar to an array formation, completely isolating the things inside the Demon Abyss.


    In other words, the items in the Demon Abyss could not come out at all. On the other hand, the people or things outside could be thrown into the Demon Abyss.


    At this moment, Lin Tian could clearly hear the voice within the Demon Valley.


    It was a sound that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. Lin Tian Deng immediately became curious.


    He could not help but point his finger at the barrier.


    In the next moment, a sudden change occurred. Endless black shadows frantically gathered at this place and then crazily bit at Lin Tian.


    But the moment he bit down on Lin Tian''s finger, suddenly, those countless black shadows unexpectedly suddenly shrieked mournfully.


    All of them screamed miserably as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying as they dispersed in all directions.


    However, at the same time, Lin Tian suddenly felt a throbbing sensation from his dragon symbol space ¡­ ¡­


    This throbbing was extremely familiar. Lin Tian instantly determined the source of this throbbing.


    It was none other than the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    "Horned Demon, can you feel what''s inside?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but communicate with Horned Demon in the Divine Manor.


    "My perception is very blurry, but there seems to be a faint aura coming from within that is familiar to me. I wonder what it is ¡­" Hornless said in a soft voice, and there seemed to be some doubt in his tone.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was surprised, "What are you familiar with? What could it be?"


    As he asked, Lin Tian couldn''t help but say: "Right, in front of the Demon Valley, I found that Earth Fiend Yin Corpse. It seems like it really wants to come out ¡­ ¡­"


    "The Yin Qi in the Demon Abyss is extremely dense and is very suitable for the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse to cultivate. However, I never thought that the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse would actually have its own consciousness to cultivate with."


    Horned Demon asked in surprise. He was truly a bit surprised. Was that corpse actually going to cultivate and gain spiritual awareness?


    "Hmm?" Even if Horned Demon wasn''t mentioned, Lin Tian still hadn''t discovered it. But now that he said it, he was somewhat surprised.


    This was just a corpse, yet it was almost alive?


    "That''s normal." Horned Demon smiled and said, "This Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had already accumulated for a thousand years. Adding to the large amount of Nightmare Qi he absorbed in the Heavenly Mystic Realm, it is not surprising that it has gained some spirituality."


    Lin Tian came to a sudden understanding and didn''t continue speaking. He already had a plan in his heart.


    He didn''t stay here any longer and quickly returned under the cover of the night.


    "Grand Elder, there''s something strange about him!" Ling Wuyou was the first to speak.


    However, the Great Elder did not speak. His brows were tightly knitted, as if he was deep in thought.


    "He should have some sort of secret on him ¡­" The Peak Master of the Spirit Peak, Ling Yue, also spoke indifferently at this moment.


    Zhang Kun was a disciple of the Spirit Peak, so he was naturally very familiar with him.


    Logically speaking, with Zhang Kun''s strength, Lin Tian should not be able to beat him, but how was this possible? How was it possible for Zhang Kun to be so easily killed by Lin Tian?


    Also, such a strong wave of cold energy suddenly came from Lin Tian''s hands. What was going on?


    "Grand Elder, do you want to know this child''s background now?" Another Peak Master suddenly spoke up.


    "Since this child possesses such strength, he should be the fortune of our Skycloud Sect." Ling Wuji finally came back to his senses as he spoke blandly to the crowd.


    "But, Grand Elder, this..." Ling Wuyou wanted to say something, but suddenly, Ling Wuji spoke out, "He''s back ¡­"


    "What?" The few of them were startled and then immediately covered up their entire body''s aura before looking down.


    It turned out that not long after, Lin Tian actually went back and returned. At this moment, he returned to this place.


    "There''s no need to hide it anymore. Everyone, after watching such a show for so long, it''s about time to reveal myself ¡­" At this time, Lin Tian''s voice suddenly sounded out, carrying a bit of coldness ¡­ ¡­


    "Mm, we were actually discovered by this kid?" Ling Wuyou and the others were shocked.


    "What are you panicking for?" Ling Wuji gently waved his hand and shook his head, "Not to us ¡­"

 C408 Yellow sparrow behind

    "What?! There''s someone here?!" Those who heard Ling Wuji were even more shocked.


    How was this possible? Even they had yet to sense the presence of someone in this place, yet that brat was actually able to sense the presence of someone in this place?


    "Shh." Ling Wuji did a silent action and looked down with interest.


    "Hahaha, I did not expect that you would be so alert, but unfortunately, I want to see where you will run to this time ¡­" Right at this moment, from who knows where, several disciples wearing the clothes of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect suddenly walked out, coming from all directions and surrounding Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian knew the student in the lead. Who else could it be other than Yang Qian, who had been expelled from the Lingxiao Sacred Sect due to his suspicions?


    However, during the day, because of Yang Qian''s questioning, the Great Elder was infuriated, his cultivation was crippled, and he was expelled from the sect. But now, why was he still here?


    "Little bastard, I looked for you so hard, I didn''t expect you to be in the Demon Valley!" Yang Qian''s face was currently filled with malevolence as he stared at Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled. From Yang Qian''s tone, it seemed that this Yang Qian didn''t see him kill Zhang Kun?


    Lin Tian Deng fell into deep thought. Just before he left, he indeed didn''t sense the aura of anyone in the surroundings, but Horned Demon vaguely felt that there seemed to be some expert secretly watching Lin Tian.


    So Lin Tian had returned after leaving in order to catch the experts that were waiting for an opportunity to spy on them.


    But he didn''t expect that it was Yang Qian and the others who were found.


    That shouldn''t be the case. Yang Qian and the others actually didn''t see Lin Tian kill Zhang Kun.


    But they didn''t see it, of course it was the best.


    If they saw it, they would be killed!


    However, since this Yang Qian wasn''t willing to let him go, then he wouldn''t hold back.


    Saying that, Lin Tian fiercely waved the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand and charged towards Yang Qian.


    "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let''s go!" Yang Qian shouted to everyone.


    Only then did the surrounding crowd come back to their senses.


    However, these people were far weaker than Zhang Kun.


    Many of them were only at the eighth and ninth level of the Astral Reaching Realm.


    With Lin Tian Xing''s current cultivation level, he was more than enough to deal with them.


    Lin Tian sneered, not caring about the others, and charged straight at Yang Qian.


    Yang Qian must have harbored enmity towards Lin Tian because of what happened in the day, which was why he came to find his fellow disciples and find trouble with Lin Tian.


    Although Lin Tian was not afraid of the arrival of these troubles, constantly harassing Lin Tian had more or less annoyed him a little.


    Since he''d already offended this Yang Qian, then there was no need to hold back.


    Saying that, Lin Tian used the God Transforming Steps and arrived in front of Yang Qian.


    The Dragon Scale Spear was like a long dragon. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Yang Qian. The next moment, a "Bang!" sound could be heard. The spear didn''t directly pierce through Yang Qian''s body, but instead directly blasted Yang Qian flying.


    At this time, Yang Qian''s face was full of disbelief as he stared at Lin Tian, screaming in pain: "You, how can you be so fast?"


    He never would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian would have arrived in front of him and even sent him flying with a single spear strike.


    "Brother Yang!" Just at this moment, everyone was shocked and then stopped what they were doing.


    "What are you waiting for? Go on!" At this moment, Yang Qian was feeling anxious in his heart. However, he seemed to feel that he had forgotten something.


    The might of Lin Tian''s spear strike wasn''t too strong. In reality, he hadn''t even received any injuries.


    However, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn''t figure out what was wrong.


    "Brother Yang, be careful!" Just at this moment, a person suddenly leaped up into the air, wanting to pull Yang Qian back.


    At this moment, Yang Qian suddenly turned his head and looked.


    "I ¡­" At this moment, Yang Qian was scared out of his wits. It turned out that at this moment, he was only one step away from the Demon Valley''s barrier.


    He naturally knew what kind of place the Demon Abyss was. Seeing that he was about to fall into the Demon Abyss, he immediately tried his best to stop himself.


    However, it was already too late. Even that disciple who wanted to hold Yang Qian back was half a step too slow. Yang Qian still successfully fell into the Demon Valley.


    "Kacha, kacha." The sound produced by the monster chewing its bone instantly resounded in everyone''s ears, causing them to feel a chill down their spines.


    The rest of them were stunned, they stared straight at Lin Tian: "You actually dared to kill a disciple of the Lingxiao Saint Sect, good, I''ll report it to the Sentencing Cave right now, find Master Leng to administer justice!"


    "Is he still a disciple of the Holy Sect?" Lin Tian suddenly asked.


    The others were startled, as they didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant.


    However, Lin Tian once again said, "I seem to remember that Yang Qian has already been expelled from the sect. Logically speaking, he shouldn''t be a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect anymore ¡­"


    "Right, which one of your eyes saw me kill him?"


    "Brat, you still dare to quibble!" One of the disciples was furious and stared straight at Lin Tian.


    "What did I quibble about?" Lin Tian innocently said: "I just admitted that I did make a move on Yang Qian, but did I kill him? I only sent him flying and he couldn''t stop himself, so he fell into the Demon Valley. What does that have to do with me?"


    "You ¡­" When had the disciples ever seen such a shameless person? All of them were so angry that they couldn''t say anything.


    "Moreover, if we were to report to the head of the punishment cave, it should be me reporting to him ¡­" As he said this, Lin Tian''s voice immediately became cold: "You disciples of the Holy Sect of Soaring Cloud Continent actually wanted to assassinate me in the middle of the night. How could the grand Holy Sect of Cloudsoaring sect have a bunch of your things?"


    As he spoke, Lin Tian looked towards the crowd and said: "I won''t hide it from you all, but I''ve already been chosen by Ling Wuji, the Great Elder of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect. He has already told me in secret that he wants me as his last disciple ¡­"


    "Why are you guys telling me this? Weren''t you guys here to kill me? Come on, what are you waiting for?" Lin Tian roared at the crowd.

 C409 Junior martial uncle?

    Everyone was at a loss, they did not know what to do, if it was really as he had said, then it would be a big matter if he was chosen by Elder Ling Wu and had to accept him as his last disciple.


    This proved that they were deceived by Yang Qian. These disciples were Yang Qian''s good friends, and some of them were even hired by Yang Qian using the pills and other resources that he had saved up.


    They did not experience the events of the day, so they did not know if it was true or false.


    However, they had heard that Ling Wuji had come forward to protect a student.


    But none of them dared to say that it was Lin Tian in front of them.


    But now that Yang Qian was dead, there was no way to prove it. Furthermore, the key point was that they were deeply suspicious of this kid''s words.


    If what Lin Tian said was true, then they had caused a huge mess.


    Ling Wuji, what kind of existence was that? They were actually bewitched by Yang Qian to kill Ling Wuji''s disciple!


    How many of their lives are not enough for that.


    The others looked at each other, then one of them asked: "Brother, may I ask what is your name?"


    "Lin Tian!" Lin Tian didn''t lie and gave his real name. He continued: "I will never change my name, nor will I change my surname. You guys should ask around and find out if what I said is true or fake ¡­ ¡­"


    When they heard that Lin Tian was so sure, they immediately exchanged glances, and then one of them laughed: "Oh, so it''s like that. This big water really rushed into the Dragon King''s Temple ¡­."


    As he said that, that person walked over, and remembered Lin Tian''s appearance in his heart. Then he gave an obsequious smile and said: "Brother Lin, please do not be offended, our brothers have eyes but do not recognize Mt. Tai.


    "Junior Martial Uncle!" That person turned around and swept his gaze across them. The others immediately understood what he meant and saluted Lin Tian, calling him Junior Martial Uncle.


    "¡­" Lin Tian was startled.


    However, that person continued, "This matter, we were at the wrong first, so please do not take offense. This is a kind intention, and can be considered as an apology. I hope that you, Junior Uncle, will forgive us, and do not tell this to the Great Elder ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was somewhat surprised. He looked at the person and then looked at the storage ring on his hand. He couldn''t help but have a bit of interest in the person in front of him. He opened his mouth and asked: "What''s your name? You''re a smart person ¡­."


    This person was extremely smart. He first approached and remembered Lin Tian''s appearance, then he approached. Afterwards, Lin Tian apologized and without hesitation, he gave out his storage ring.


    Just this kind of reaction caused Lin Tian to be slightly shocked.


    Remembering Lin Tian''s appearance was naturally to prevent Lin Tian from lying, and climbing closer to him, apologizing, and giving him a storage ring. This was all to express good will towards Lin Tian.


    Of course, Lin Tian could more or less guess this person''s true thoughts.


    If this Lin Tian lied and came back later to kill him, he could just take the storage ring back.


    However, if Lin Tian did not lie, then his actions would not be able to make Lin Tian find trouble with him. Perhaps, he could even receive a benevolent fate.


    Thus, no matter what, this person would not lose.


    In a short moment, this person unexpectedly had such a reaction, which really aroused Lin Tian''s curiosity.


    "Junior Martial Uncle, I''m a disciple of Sky Capital Peak. My name is also Hua Tiandu!" The person named Hua Tiandu raised his head and respectfully looked at Lin Tian.


    "Hua Tiandu, alright, I''ll remember you!" Lin Tian lightly nodded, then laughed: "I also know that all of you were bewitched by that Yang Qian, now that the main culprit is dead, you all did not attack me, this is not considered a big mistake. Moreover, you all have already called me Junior Martial Uncle, I naturally cannot pursue this matter any further, forget it, you all can disperse ¡­"


    Saying that, Lin Tian gently pushed the storage ring Hua Tianyi gave him, then smiled: "These, forget it, I don''t really need anything ¡­ ¡­"


    "Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle!" Hua Tiandu''s face was slightly stunned, but he immediately looked deeply at Lin Tian and took the lead to call out. Everyone else didn''t hesitate as they all called out: "Many thanks to Junior Martial Uncle!"


    "Alright, you can go now. The sun is about to rise ¡­" Lin Tian gently smiled and then took the lead to leave.


    The others bowed as well, "Greetings to Junior Martial Uncle!"


    Only after Lin Tian left did one of them stand up and spit on the ground: "What nonsense is this? He said that he is the disciple of the Great Elder and that he is the disciple of the Great Elder. If he is still closing disciples, then I am still the sect head''s senior disciple!"


    This person was clearly unhappy with Lin Tian and his tone was full of contempt and disdain.


    "Caution!" Hua Tiandu''s expression suddenly changed as he coldly berated.


    The disciple was startled, and then his face turned red and then white.


    "Junior brother, I''m not trying to scold you for your brother, but these words in front of us brothers are one thing, but you must not speak any nonsense!" Hua Tiandu eased the tension on his face and instructed.


    "I''ll remember it, senior brother." The man nodded and said no more.


    "Senior Brother Hua, what''s next ¡­" Another disciple asked.


    "Go back to sleep!" Hua Tiandu looked in the direction Lin Tian left in and said thoughtfully.


    The few of them hurriedly left as well.


    At this moment, the Peak Master of the Ninth Peak was still standing in mid-air.


    "Haha, this boy is truly interesting. Great Elder, did you just suddenly have another disciple?" At this time, Ling Wuyou could not help but laugh: "And, it''s even his last disciple!"


    The others all chuckled.


    The Great Elder, on the other hand, was silent. He then asked the Peak Master of Sky Capital Peak, Ling Du, "When did that Hua Tiandu join the sect?"


    Ling Dong replied softly, "This child has been in the sect for about two to three years, right? It''s just that his strength has never increased. He isn''t that outstanding, but he won''t be eliminated ¡­"


    "What''s wrong, Grand Elder?"


    "This child cannot be underestimated ¡­" Ling Wuji sighed and didn''t say anything else.


    "That First Elder, that brat Lin Tian said you were his last disciple?" At this moment, the leader of Tian Ji Summit suddenly opened his mouth and asked the Great Elder, "How does Great Elder want to deal with this?"


    "Of course ¡ª" The Great Elder glanced at the reaction of the crowd and said, "Take him ¡­"

 C410 Deicide tactic

    "Hmm?" As he spoke up to this point, the expressions of the other Peak Masters became marvelous.


    They never would have thought that this Great Elder would really want to accept that Lin Tian?


    "First Elder, have you thought about it? That brat is talking about closing disciples ¡­" Ling Wuyou immediately became anxious, "Could it be, after Grand Elder took this kid in, he really doesn''t take in any more disciples?"


    "Hur hur." Ling Wuji smiled and said noncommittally, "Of course, it depends on that brat''s performance..."


    The few of them were stunned. They seemed to understand what Ling Wuji meant. However, they all let out a soft sigh and left the area.


    "Are you sure there''s someone in the sky?" Lin Tian rushed all the way to his residence. At this moment, he couldn''t help but ask the Horned Demon in the Divine Manor.


    So it turned out that after leaving just now, Horned Demon told Lin Tian that there was an extremely strong expert in the air staring at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian thought about it for a bit before thinking of who the person in mid-air was.


    If he hadn''t guessed wrongly, those people should be the grand characters of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    Although Lin Tian''s perception was strong, it was still quite lacking when compared to those important people.


    He couldn''t completely sense the existence of those big shots, but Horned Demons could.


    However, Lin Tian himself did not take this matter to heart. Those important people that saw it also saw it. Since they did not appear, then it proved that they did not care too much about what Lin Tian did.


    Furthermore, a student from a remote country shouldn''t be of much interest to them ¡­


    As for the matter regarding the closing disciple, Lin Tian was just randomly making things up. He just didn''t want to fight with Hua Tiandu and the others.


    It must be known that Hua Tiandu and a few others were not the same as Yang Qian. Yang Qian had been expelled from his sect. He was no longer a disciple of the Lingxiao Saint Sect. Lin Tian had been killed.


    However, even if Hua Tiandu and the others could not do so, they were still disciples of the Lingxiao Saint Sect. If they were to kill them, they would be in great trouble.


    But Lin Tian did not think too much about it. Tomorrow was the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, and he did not want these things to disturb his will.


    Getting rid of Zhang Kun, that big trouble, was already something Lin Tian was very pleased about.


    What he was most afraid of was that Zhang Kun would make a move in the dark during the thousand kingdom battle.


    It was easy to dodge an arrow on the spot, but hard to defend against an arrow on the inside. Now that he had gotten rid of the threat in his heart, he naturally didn''t have to worry about this anymore.


    Lin Tian, who had returned to his room, could not fall asleep no matter what.


    He still remembered that before Zhang Kun made his move against him, he took care of a few tails that were following him ¡­


    In reality, at the beginning, Lin Tian didn''t care about those small tails, but now that he thought about it carefully, he couldn''t help but care a bit. It was probably because he had been too eye-catching during the day and was being watched by others.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t pay too much attention and was just secretly on guard.


    His heart skipped a beat as he took out the storage ring that he had taken from Zhang Kun.


    There wasn''t anything rare about them. They were all medicinal pills, spirit stones, and the like. Lin Tian directly stored all of these things into his Dragon Symbol Space.


    At the same time, another extremely strange thing suddenly attracted Lin Tian''s attention.


    "This thing is very similar to the identity token from the Azure Province Academy ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled, then became interested.


    It turned out that Zhang Kun had a black iron plate in his storage ring. It looked like an identity token.


    Lin Tian put away the identity token and took out another item.


    Lin Tian was actually very curious about this item because this was the only thing that Zhang Kun didn''t put into his storage ring.


    It was that piece of yellow cloth brocade. If it wasn''t for Lin Tian who specially searched for it, he really wouldn''t have been able to find it.


    "It''s a cultivation technique?" Lin Tian looked at the dense handwriting on the yellow cloth and immediately became excited.


    He had never thought that this would be a cultivation technique.


    "Path of God, I care about the state of mind ¡­" Lin Tian looked over and saw the Superclass on top of the yellow cloth.


    Lin Tian silently committed the words on the yellow cloth to memory.


    He then put down the cloth and sighed.


    He did not expect that this was Zhang Kun''s Soul Extinguishing Spell. It was called the Soul Extinguishing Spell!


    This was an extremely terrifying Qi Method. One could tell from the name.


    Destructive, Destructive. In truth, it was the will of annihilating the soul.


    This was a complete technique that could attack the soul.


    From the mental cultivation method to the following moves, it was a self-made system.


    At the same time that Lin Tian cultivated martial arts, he also cultivated the rune dao.


    He could naturally see how terrifying this technique was.


    When this technique was mastered, one could use their mental strength to condense an extremely terrifying ''Spirit Extermination Spear''!


    This was a spiritual power attack weapon. Once it was used, it could annihilate the opponent''s soul in an instant. Moreover, there were even records of the so-called Possession method in the subsequent cultivation technique.


    In other words, he was transferring his spirit onto his opponent.


    Lin Tian thought about this and immediately understood Zhang Kun''s intentions.


    Previously, Lin Tian still wasn''t too sure. Now that he obtained the God Slaying Art, Lin Tian was completely sure that Zhang Kun saw the potential and talent of his physical body and wanted to directly possess him.


    It was also a good thing that Lin Tian''s soul was almost so strong that ordinary people would not be able to harm it. Moreover, he had the protection of the Ancient Dragon Symbol which allowed him to escape this calamity.


    Lin Tian took a deep breath and didn''t continue thinking about it. He quietly sat down cross-legged and tried to recover his strength to his peak state before the battle tomorrow.


    The night passed in silence until the second day. Lin Tian and the others all went to the entrance of the mountain.


    Today was the day that the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms would officially begin.


    According to the previous situation, this year''s rules set by the Cloudsoaring sect must be different from the previous years.


    As for what exactly had happened, he could only see it today.


    When all the disciples had arrived, not long after, all of the disciples from the Virtuous Cloud Sect walked up to the entrance and looked down at the students below.


    "Fellow students, from today onwards, the once a decade Battle of a Thousand Kingdoms will be held by the Lingxiao Saint Sect. I am the supervisor for this battle and I am also in charge of evaluating your performance during it." At this time, a person walked out from behind the disciple and spoke to the crowd.


    That person, Lin Tian recognized him. It was one of the one hundred and eight holes, the one who held the authority of punishment in the Lingxiao Saint Sect, Leng Feng!


    "Next up, I''m going to announce the rules of this competition. Everyone, you have to listen carefully!" Leng Feng smiled slightly and said to everyone.


    Everyone immediately stood up and began to listen carefully ¡­

 C411 Trial order

    Everyone knew that the rules this time were different than before, so it was more important to these students.


    In the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, every kingdom had ten people participating. Even though many kingdoms'' students had been eliminated, there were still many kingdoms'' students that stayed behind.


    In that case, the Great War of a Thousand Empire was actually a team battle.


    Therefore, after understanding the rules, it was necessary to formulate a strategy and execute it together.


    Lin Tian and the others were no exception. After all, fighting one on one alone was not an advantage at all ¡­ ¡­


    Seemingly sensing the reaction of the crowd, Leng Feng smiled slightly before saying: "Ever since the previous five rounds of examinations, you should also understand that the battle this time around is completely different from the past."


    "Nonsense, I won''t say much more. First, let me show you the location of the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms." As Leng Feng said this, he had the disciples lead the students and head straight for the back of the mountain.


    Not long later, they arrived at their destination.


    "This place, is the back mountain of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, and is also known as the trial ground!" Leng Feng spoke gently, "This is also the main battlefield of the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms."


    "Stadium?" The students in the audience immediately exclaimed in surprise.


    Actually, not all the students were completely ignorant of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. Some of the more powerful kingdoms had once sent countless genius disciples to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    These disciples would naturally, more or less, divulge this information to their own kingdoms.


    Therefore, they naturally had an incomparable understanding of this trial ground.


    As the name implied, the so-called training grounds were actually the training grounds for the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Of course, to the true disciples of the Skycloud Sect, this was nothing.


    But for students like them, it was a huge challenge.


    One had to know that in order to enter the Skycloud Sect, one had to be at least at the fifth level of the Astral Realm or higher to become an outer disciple.


    This was only a cultivation base, not to mention fighting strength.


    If one wanted to become an inner disciple of the Holy Sect, or even a disciple of a higher level, then it was very possible that one needed the realm of Life and Death to be able to do so.


    However, this time around, the students who came to participate in the Thousand Kingdom War were all only at the fifth level of the Astral Realm. Occasionally, there would be one or two with great strength, and they were only at the seventh or eighth level.


    Overall, their students were a level lower than the worst outer sect disciples of the Cloudsoaring sect ¡­


    However, the examination venue chosen by the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was actually the training grounds that only the disciples of the sect could use.


    One could imagine how difficult this challenge was for these students!


    Therefore, when the cold wind mentioned that the training field would be the testing ground for the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, many of those who knew of the internal affairs cried out in alarm.


    "Looks like some of the students have already understood this trial ground, but even so, I still have to say a few words ¡­" Leng Feng sensed everyone''s reaction, and softly laughed, "In this training field, almost everything is there ¡­"


    "Beasts, beasts, all kinds of terrifying traps. Of course, there are people ¡­"


    "This time, due to the opening of the training field, there should be a lot of disciples within ¡­"


    "What?"


    "Why, why ¡­"


    "This is unfair to us!"


    The students were excited and shouted at Leng Feng.


    "Fair?" Leng Feng sneered at the crowd, "I truly want to know, what do you mean by ''fair''?"


    "Let me tell you, in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, what I say is the rule and the rule is only fair to the strong. The weak can choose to give up and no one will force you to participate in this war of a thousand kingdoms!"


    Leng Feng''s voice suddenly became strict, forcefully suppressing the doubt in his voice.


    "Perhaps you might be curious as to why the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect are also inside." The cold wind said indifferently.


    "Actually, it''s very simple. Even if it were a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, you would still have to face the challenge!"


    "Alright, let me announce the rules." Leng Feng swept his gaze over the crowd. He did not leave anyone with a chance to speak. Instead, he directly faced the crowd and said, "The rules this time are very simple."


    "This time, all the students that entered the training grounds will be given a token. This token is the special ''trial token'' of our Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect!" The purpose of this trial is to help you all sense each other''s auras. Then, it will be the basis for your final judgement on whether or not you are eliminated. "


    The disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect not far away also started to move quickly. One by one, they gave out the trial order to the people around them.


    Each one of them was a pitch black token.


    After Lin Tian received the command medallion, he immediately thought of the command medallion he had plundered from Zhang Kun''s storage ring last night.


    The token in his hand looked exactly the same as the one in his hand. However, the token he got from Zhang Kun was obviously made of a much better material than the tokens in his hands.


    But Lin Tian did not know what the meaning of this token was.


    "You must protect this token well. If this token leaves your bodies, then you will be eliminated!" Leng Feng''s words suddenly sounded out, and he revealed the function of the token ¡­


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian slightly froze, he did not seem to understand what that cold wind meant.


    Leng Feng continued to explain: "After you enter the training field, this token will officially show its use, and as long as this token is still there, it will prove that you are not eliminated. Once this token is separated from your body, you still have an incense stick of time to search for it, or to snatch it from others, but once an incense stick of time has passed, you will not have the token, so I am sorry, you will be eliminated ¡­"


    "Do you understand what I''m saying?" Leng Feng asked again.


    "Understood!" Many of the students shouted in unison. Many of them exchanged glances, obviously having thought of a plan ¡­


    "Oh, right, of course, don''t be happy too early. Even if you hold on to that token and persevere all the way to the end, it will still be useless, because the final victor is determined by the number of tokens in your hands ¡­" The cold wind said again.


    When the students below the field heard this, their hearts immediately turned cold. This, this was completely forcing them to fight in the stadium ¡­

 C412 Formal start

    "Indeed, your guesses are correct. We are going to fight!" Leng Feng laughed heartily: "In the training grounds, you all have no other choice. You all only have one choice, and that is to fight! "Crazy battle."


    "After that is plundering, killing, and escaping. You have to snatch the tokens from the hands of others so that you can become the final victor ¡­"


    "Moreover, in the training field, we don''t care what methods you use, or how you bully the weak and how you bully the weak. We don''t care at all!" Leng Feng continued, "We will only look at the final result!"


    "Of course, in order to be relatively fair, all of you will be disassembled and led to different places by these disciples to enter the training grounds." The disciples began to move as Leng Feng spoke.


    It was very clear that the Cloudsoaring sect had made sufficient preparations.


    They once again disrupted all the students and brought them to the stadium under the lead of different disciples.


    Before long, all the students had been brought to different entrances.


    At the same time, the cold wind also lightly shook the bell in his hand.


    The instant the bell rang out, a huge bell sound suddenly rang out from somewhere in the Cloudsoaring Sacred Sect.


    At the same time, the training grounds, which were used to train the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, were also completely sealed off.


    From the surroundings, rays of light rushed out and quickly surrounded the entire training field.


    "Great Trial Formation, activate!" The cold wind suddenly shouted and the entire training ground was immediately covered by a barrier.


    That was, the grand array of the stadium was used to isolate the stadium. Therefore, once the stadium was opened, one could only enter and not exit!


    At the same time, all the students walked into the stadium.


    "Right, I almost forgot to tell you guys ¡­" At this moment, an apologetic voice was suddenly heard from the whole training field.


    "There is actually a strange aura being emitted from that token. That kind of aura is a fatal attraction for the demonic beasts and vicious creatures hiding in the training field ¡­"


    "So, you must be careful ¡­"


    "What the f * ck!?"


    "Damn you!"


    "Your grandmother!"


    "Eighteen generations of your ancestors!"


    In the training field, shouts and curses came one after another.


    This isn''t a training field, this is a life threatening training ground!


    The students were all furious. Leng Feng was definitely doing this on purpose. He didn''t forget anything. He wanted to tell them right now. Even if they wanted to quit now, it would be impossible ¡­


    "Oh, right. There is one more thing I forgot to mention ¡­" After everyone finished cursing, Leng Feng spoke once again.


    "The trial token in your hands is very attractive to the disciples of the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect. They can use this to earn high points, so they will hunt you down and take your tokens away ¡­"


    "Damn, I''ve been tricked!" This time, all the students started to get excited.


    Even Lin Tian frowned. Honestly speaking, demon beasts and vicious things were still okay, but a disciple of the Holy Sect?


    This was a little tricky. Not only did he have to deal with them, but he also had to work hard to collect other students'' tokens. This made things even more difficult.


    "Cough cough, there''s still one more. I really need to say one more thing ¡­" At this moment, Leng Feng''s voice sounded again.


    "This medallion can actually be used to locate the location. Those demonic beasts and vicious beasts know where you are, and the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect inside can clearly sense it as well ¡­" When Leng Feng said this, he felt a bit embarrassed. However, he still continued, "Moreover, this token cannot be used to isolate one''s aura!"


    "..." This time, there was no one left to curse at.


    Everyone was stunned. For the sake of this Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect really had to test them in every aspect. They seemed to have all thought of it ¡­


    However, at this time, Leng Feng''s voice sounded again, "Cough, cough, cough, cough, this time, I promise you, this is the last point!"


    "In order to make this battle of the Thousand Kingdoms more exciting and more interesting, this time''s assessment will be held for a month ¡­"


    "Of course, you should all know that this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in the middle of the moon, at the end of the moon, in order to stimulate your fighting spirit and potential, we have decided to let a portion of the inner disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect enter ¡­"


    "Inner court disciple?"


    "Are you crazy, or are we crazy?"


    "Bastard, I want to go home!"


    "I want to give up too, I give up ¡­"


    In an instant, everyone lost their confidence in fighting Chu Feng.


    This, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect wanted to force him onto a path of death.


    "I''m sorry, the assessment examination has already begun. There is no way to forfeit, unless the token is taken away, you will naturally be eliminated. However, remember, the assessment is a fight that can injure others, but those who kill will also be eliminated!" Leng Feng reminded him once again before he continued: "Alright, I announce that the trial by fire will officially begin!"


    "BOOM!" In the next moment, all the students in the stadium heard the loud ringing of a bell. This meant that the examination had officially begun.


    Although the students said they would withdraw from the competition, they were still very honest on the surface. After the competition began, they quickly rushed to the depths of the stadium, wanting to find a secluded place to hide before slowly moving on. There was still time, a full month''s worth of time.


    And it was also after the bell rang out that a person suddenly appeared from a nearly undetectable location in the training field. These people were all wearing the clothes of the Virtuous Cloud Sect. Clearly, they were disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    At this moment, they were all smiling like hunters. "These rookies are finally here. Points, they are all treasures ¡­"


    The battle of a thousand kingdoms and the trial by fire had finally officially begun!

 C413 Play the part of a pig two as one large chapter

    Lin Tian was also sent into the stadium.


    However, the place Lin Tian was sent to did not seem to be too good because as soon as he entered, he seemed to feel an extremely strong aura quickly rushing towards him.


    "Looks like laozi''s luck isn''t bad. I was just about to go find those fat sheep, but I didn''t expect that there would be one right in front of me ¡­" Lin Tian was just about to walk forward when a rough man suddenly walked out from the depths of the forest.


    That man was dressed in the robes of the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect. Naturally, he was a disciple of the Sect.


    "I really didn''t expect that the moment I entered, I would run into a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect ¡­" Lin Tian slightly shook his head, he could not help but feel somewhat surprised.


    "Brat, I won''t speak any more nonsense. Hand over the trial token in your hand ¡­" That rough man almost without any hesitation yelled at Lin Tian.


    "You want my trial token?" Lin Tian stared at the man and then looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    "Why?" When the man saw Lin Tian''s current gaze, he immediately said somewhat angrily: "You don''t want to give it to me?"


    "I didn''t say that I won''t give it to you ¡­" Lin Tian looked at the man who was a bit angry and said with a smile.


    Hearing Lin Tian''s tone soften a bit, the man immediately laughed out loud and looked at Lin Tian with praise. He then smiled and said: "En, not bad, not bad. It''s good that you have this kind of mindset."


    But when he finished speaking, he saw that Lin Tian did not have the intention of obediently bringing up the trial token. The man immediately frowned again: "What are you still standing there for? Bring it over!"


    "I wanted to bring it over, but it seems that someone else is coming ¡­" Lin Tian had a face full of grievance. He then looked around at the depths of the forest and suddenly said: "Everyone, since you''ve come, then come out ¡­ ¡­"


    As he spoke, three or four people suddenly walked out from the depths of the forest while the surrounding trees were about to shake.


    These people, without exception, were all dressed in the robes of the Virtuous Cloud Sect. Obviously, they were all disciples of the Heaven Cloud Sect.


    "Hmm?" The man was slightly startled, but quickly reacted, and angrily said to Lin Tian: "Good boy, you actually dared to mess with me?"


    At first, the man really thought that Lin Tian would honestly give him the trial token, but he didn''t expect that he would be made a fool of by this brat.


    However, that man was quite familiar with the few people who came. When he saw them, he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow disciples, I was the one who found him first. I hope you guys don''t make things difficult for me ¡­"


    Senior brother, what you are saying is wrong. Since this kid has yet to give you the trial token, then we will naturally come here to see who has the tougher wrist. Isn''t it true that our Lingxiao Sacred Sect also has the rules of this trial ground? One of the four immediately refuted.


    Obviously, to them, this trial token was undoubtedly very important. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have torn off their skin just to come and fight for it.


    "Fellow juniors, I am the Worryfree Peak, disciple Wang Heng from the Unparalleled Cave. My master is a member of the Elders Guild, please give me some face ¡­" The man called Wang Heng saw that no one had any intention of retreating, so he immediately reported to his teachers, wanting to use his Master''s power to chase them away.


    However, it was clear that the four of them would not be afraid of that man.


    Currently, only outer sect disciples were in this sect. Their strength was average, and they didn''t have much power. Even when Wang Heng reported his master''s name, the four didn''t pay him any heed.


    Senior brother, are you trying to bully us with your power, but right now, the four of us are here to deal with you, even if your master is the summit lord of the Worryfree Peak, so what? Today, we brothers will put those words here, this brat''s trial order belongs to us, if you know what''s good for you, quickly leave, and take advantage of this moment to find a few more fat sheep. The disciple was enraged by Wang Heng''s bullying speech, and his tone was filled with disdain and mockery.


    "Oh, then I would like to ask for your advanced techniques!" Wang Heng was immediately angered. He didn''t sense these people''s aura earlier, and it was Lin Tian who found them.


    Wang Heng, who was standing just now, broke out in a cold sweat.


    If he had successfully obtained the trial token from that kid and did not sense the arrival of these people, then he would inevitably be ambushed by these people. At that time, wouldn''t his efforts have been wasted and he would have ended up helping the four of them?


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng''s face became even more sinister, as if he would attack at any moment.


    Watching from the side, Lin Tian wished that they would kill each other so he could save himself the trouble.


    However, just as Wang Heng was about to make his move, the other four people couldn''t help but say, "Senior brother Wang, don''t be impatient. We came here for the trial order, not for the battle.


    As soon as he said this, Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    Sure enough, Wang Heng immediately stopped and looked at that person, "What do you mean, explain it clearly!"


    My meaning is very simple, why don''t we snatch the trial token back from that brat''s hands first before deciding, since that trial token will have many points, we can at most split it equally, and the key is, when we fight, it will be a waste of time, so we should snatch it first. Then, senior brother Wang can also act together with us, if we obtain a new trial token, we can split it equally ¡­ The disciple was obviously more sinister, but he could see clearly.


    The way he said it actually moved Wang Heng.


    However, just as Wang Heng was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out in his ears. "Senior brother Wang is so cute and foolish ¡­"


    Wang Heng stared blankly, then he calmly looked at Lin Tian and confirmed his thoughts. The words he had said just now were spoken by Lin Tian.


    "Senior brother Wang, don''t you see that the four of them are going to split the points equally? To put it nicely, you are just fooling around with them for nothing more than a fool ¡­" Lin Tian continued to indifferently say: "Right now, they just don''t want to fight with you and get my trial token. But once I hand it over, they will definitely say that I will hand it over to them. When the time comes, you say that we will split the points equally, so what if they don''t do it?"


    "What are you trying to say?" Wang Heng immediately calmed down and looked at the four before saying to them, "Fellow junior brothers, please let me consider ¡­"


    The person who had suggested the idea smiled faintly and said, "It''s fine. Senior Martial Brother Wang, please consider it. But, don''t take too long ¡­"


    "Very simple. How about we make a bet?" Lin Tian continued to send messages into the secret passage.


    "How should we bet, what should we bet?" Wang Heng immediately asked.


    "That''s even simpler. I will hand over the trial token in a while, but remember, you have to tell them that you will be the one to keep my trial token ¡­" Lin Tian slowly spoke out his idea: "Then observe their reactions. If you agree, we will continue. If you don''t agree, then you should be able to know why this is ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Wang Heng was slightly startled, but then he asked, "So, what is the bet you are talking about?"


    "I can guarantee that if this token is in your hands, they will definitely find an opportunity to attack you. After all, you are only one person ¡­" Lin Tian revealed his bet.


    "What if they don''t?" Wang Heng could not help but ask.


    "Then you win, I will willingly hand over this token. Not only that, all the tokens that I obtain in the training field will belong to you. In other words, I can be your free fighter ¡­" Lin Tian said confidently.


    "What if I lose?" Wang Heng continued to ask.


    "If you lose, then obediently return the token to me. Moreover, you must be my free fighter, but don''t worry, I won''t let you be free. As long as you are useful to me, I will give you a huge gift ¡­" Lin Tian continued.


    "Alright, I''ll bet!" Wang Heng did not hesitate and agreed to Lin Tian''s bet.


    Wang Heng looked like a careless person, but he was actually very crude. Just a moment ago, he had already thought through all of the things that Lin Tian had said.


    Lin Tian was right, the other side had four people after all. If they were to face each other head on, no matter what, he wouldn''t be able to take any advantage of them.


    As for what they said about recruiting, Wang Heng had his own doubts. What if they really did not acknowledge it after leaving the training ground?


    Besides, he was alone against four people and he had no chance of winning no matter what ¡­


    Moreover, if he worked with those four people, it was very likely that he would just become a free fighter. Other than that, he wouldn''t get any other benefits.


    But this boy, since he had a bet, and won his own trial token, this kid would give him a big gift. No matter what, he was the one who earned it, why wouldn''t he be happy?


    As for why he trusted Lin Tian, the reason was very simple, it was because Lin Tian''s cultivation was low and he was weak. Wang Heng could ignore the threat Lin Tian could possibly pose to him, and he was confident that he could suppress him with a single palm.


    Moreover, when the time comes, even if he loses, so what? In this training field, it''s not whose fist is strong, but who is in charge?


    When the time came, he would snatch that kid''s trial token away. So what?


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng immediately opened his mouth and said, "Four brothers, I have thought about it, but you are four people after all, so for brother''s sake, let me take care of this kid''s training order!"


    Saying this, Lin Tian had already thrown the trial token into Wang Heng''s hands.


    But at the same time, a voice suddenly rang out from the training field: "Tian Luo, Lin Tian has lost his training token and needs a period of time. If you don''t obtain another training token, Lin Tian will be eliminated!"


    His words stirred up a thousand ripples.


    Lin Tian, this is the first. It hasn''t even been a quarter of an hour since I entered the stadium, and I''m already facing elimination?


    However, everyone now understood that once the trial was snatched away, it would inform everyone in the stadium.


    At the same time, at other parts of the stadium, many disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect were frantically searching for disciples that had entered the stadium.


    "Fats! Fats! So, none of them are that strong. The disciples of the Cloudsoaring sect are getting more and more excited."


    "Lin Tian? It''s actually Lin Tian. How is this possible? " The other disciples that entered the stadium were all dumbfounded. Lin Tian was the first in the previous five rounds of examinations to be ranked in the thousand kingdoms. He was the number one genius among the ten thousand people.


    How could he be eliminated in less than a quarter of an hour?


    Thinking of this, all the students became even more nervous.


    "How is this possible?" At the same time, a team of four stopped in their tracks.


    These four people were none other than Ji Fangge, Fang Xing, Du Feng, and Gu Yan''er from the Qingzhou Academy.


    The four of them were the first to find each other. They were preparing to look for Lin Tian and the other Tian Luo Country students in the stadium, but they didn''t think that the first thing they would hear was this kind of news ¡­


    The few of them quickly moved out and quickened their pace in searching for Lin Tian.


    At this time, outside the stadium, Leng Feng also had a face full of doubt: "Lin Tian? It''s the student who took the first place in the fifth round, why would he be eliminated so early? "


    At the same time, on the main peak of the Virtuous Cloud Summit, the Peak Master of the Worryfree Peak, Ling Wuyou, the Tian Ji Summit Lord, Ling Tianji, the Peak Master of the Spirit Mountain Peak, Ling Yue, the Pill Cauldron Peak Master, Ling Tianji, the Peak Master of the Divine Martial Peak, Ling Shen Wu, the Peak Master of the Trial Peak, Ling Lian, and even the Hall Master of the Mission Hall.


    And on the stone wall in front of them, the situation in the training field was completely revealed.


    Everyone could tell at a glance, but they also knew what had happened.


    This time, all nine of them had different expressions as they stared at the stone wall.


    After a while, when the sound of Lin Tian being eliminated rang out, the crowd started to discuss.


    "Great Elder, this little brat called Lin Tian is a bit too abnormal. No matter what, he shouldn''t be the first one. Moreover, he is the number one of our five rounds of assessment!" Ling Wuyou didn''t have a good impression of Lin Tian, so when he heard that Lin Tian was about to be eliminated, he couldn''t help but attack.


    The other Peak Masters all looked towards Ling Wuji.


    However, Ling Wuji gently waved his sleeves and in the blink of an eye, the scene of Lin Tian entering the training field appeared on the stone wall.


    The few of them had watched the entire scene, but soon after, they fell silent.


    They were old and experienced, so they naturally knew what kind of trick Lin Tian was playing ¡­ ¡­


    It had to be known that Lin Tian had killed Zhang Kun by himself, and Zhang Kun was an inner disciple of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. With his strength, even Wang Heng''s five men combined were not a match for Zhang Kun, so how could Lin Tian not kill Zhang Kun?


    The reason why he showed weakness now was very simple, it was because he wanted to play the pig to eat the tiger.


    One had to know that this kid had a lot of insidious ideas!

 C414 I am a little bit faster

    Lin Tian didn''t care about the time limit of that incense stick. As long as he thought about it, could it be that he wouldn''t be able to get the command medallion back from Wang Heng?


    The reason he was showing weakness was not because of anything else, but because he wanted to persevere on.


    The training field would be open for an entire month. During this time, some inner court disciples would even be sent in ¡­


    Lin Tian naturally did not care about these outer sect disciples. Honestly speaking, the five people in front of him together were not his match, but for inner sect disciples, they needed to be careful ¡­


    So Lin Tian wanted to stay in the stadium even better and needed a map.


    A live map, in other words, a guide.


    Wang Heng was a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, and from the looks of it, he had been in the training ground for quite a while.


    From the start, even with Lin Tian''s strong mental strength, he was unable to detect Wang Heng''s existence. It was enough to prove that Wang Heng understood this place very well, so he hid himself very well, causing Lin Tian to not be able to discover his existence.


    Moreover, this Wang Heng was much easier to deceive than the other four. With just a few words from him, Wang Heng would believe his words. Whether he believed it or not, it did not matter.


    With his strength, at most, he would just tie up Wang Heng and lead the way ¡­


    This was Lin Tian''s ultimate goal.


    "You!" When the four of them saw Lin Tian directly throw the trial token at Wang Heng, they were immediately startled, but their faces immediately became unnatural.


    Actually, in the beginning, Lin Tian''s guess was correct.


    The four of them did not have any good intentions, it was purely to deceive Wang Heng''s trust. Once the Trial Order is obtained, they would immediately fall out with each other. At that time, Wang Heng would not be able to do anything about them ¡­


    However, this Wang Heng was actually so crafty. He first took the medallion into his hands.


    One of them was just about to turn hostile when the one who had suggested the idea pulled him back a little, then said to Wang Heng with a smile: "In that case, no matter what, senior brother Wang, let''s not waste our time. Let''s go, this time, it is said that there are five thousand people who came to the training field, and there are still a lot of fat sheep waiting for us to slaughter."


    "That''s exactly what I wanted to do. Let''s hurry up and leave ¡­" Wang Heng faintly smiled and saw everyone''s reaction. He then turned around and calmly exchanged a look with Lin Tian before leaving.


    Lin Tian didn''t have his token in his hand, so those four naturally wouldn''t waste any more time on him. Turning their heads, they fiercely glared at Lin Tian. One of them even fiercely said: "Boy, just you wait!"


    Lin Tian shrugged, feeling wronged, but didn''t say anything.


    However, the four of them were still afraid that Wang Heng would run away the moment they got their tokens, so they quickly caught up to Wang Heng.


    However, none of them noticed that after they left, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth suddenly curled into an extremely strange smile.


    His eyes lit up, but he did not hesitate. He completely blocked off his own aura and rushed in the direction that they had left in.


    "You should have seen their reactions. Just you wait, there aren''t any fat sheep around. In a short moment, they will attack you ¡­" Wang Heng, who got the badge, didn''t even have time to be happy when Lin Tian''s voice unexpectedly sounded out.


    "Hmm?" Wang Heng was stunned, "You can keep up with us?"


    "You''re hiding your strength?" At this point, Wang Heng''s expression turned cold. Once again, he felt that something was amiss. He even had a vague feeling that he had been fooled by this kid.


    He had already been fooled by this brat before, but now he was being duped again. How could this Wang Heng''s heart feel any better?


    "That can''t be, I''m just that my tracking ability is a little stronger ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently said one sentence and then fell silent.


    "Humph!" Wang Heng rushed forward crazily.


    When his speed increased, the four people behind immediately felt that something wasn''t right.


    "F * ck, I knew I couldn''t listen to third brother, I''ve been plotting against him all day. Now that''s good, that Wang fellow is preparing to run away ¡­" The other four also sped up. One of them complained to the one who had suggested this idea.


    The third brother was also surprised. Turning around, he asked the other person beside him, "Fourth brother, is there really no aura of a trial token nearby?"


    That fourth elder gently shook his head, "There''s no one within a radius of tens of kilometers ¡­"


    "Look, this is it. The duck that we got has flown away..." The man who had scolded earlier said it again.


    "That''s enough, number two. Stop talking. Number three, make a decision, what do we do?" The person who had been silent all this while spoke out. It was obvious that he was the boss among the four of them. When he spoke up now, everyone''s gazes were on him.


    "Fuck, and I thought this Wang Heng was a fool, but I didn''t expect that we would actually be played around by this idiot?" "Boss, Second Bro, you guys charge from the west, I''ll be at the back, Third Bro, go to the east, catch up with this grandson, kill him for me!"


    After saying that, the rest of them did as the third brother said without any hesitation. At this moment, all of them were rushing forward with the intent of surrounding Wang Heng completely ¡­


    "Enough, they are going to attack you ¡­" At this time, Lin Tian''s voice once again came from beside Wang Heng''s ears.


    "You can keep up with me?" Wang Heng was on the verge of going crazy. He had used all of his strength just now just to get rid of this brat, but he never thought that Lin Tian would still be able to keep up.


    "Didn''t I tell you just now that my tracking ability is a little stronger than yours ¡­" Lin Tian innocently replied.


    "Is he f * cking a bit stronger?" Wang Heng could not help but curse loudly, but just as he was about to curse a few more times.


    A sneer suddenly came from the front. "Senior brother Wang sure runs fast. What? Leaving after getting what you want?"


    Wang Heng looked up and saw two people standing in front of him.


    Surprisingly, it was the second brother from before.


    Wang Heng wanted to turn around, but a rustling sound came from behind him.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother Wang, what happened to the points?" It was the voice of Ol ''Three.


    Wang Heng was about to turn right when Ol ''Four suddenly appeared.


    At this moment, the four of them were surrounding Wang Heng from east to west, completely surrounding him ¡­

 C415 I am just a little bit stronger!

    "Kid, can you help me deal with one?" Just at this time, Wang Heng could not help but ask Lin Tian.


    At this point, Wang Heng knew that this matter was definitely not going to end peacefully. Facing these four people, it would be difficult for him to deal with them alone.


    However, it was not as though there was no other way. The only way was to ask for help now. If he could help Wang Heng deal with one, he might be able to.


    Surprisingly, the current Lin Tian indifferently said: "Senior brother Wang, let''s not bring up this matter for now. You''ve lost your bet. Return my trial token to me ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Wang Heng flew into a rage, "At this time, you still dare to ask me for the token?"


    "I knew that you would break your promise ¡­" Lin Tian lightly sighed before saying: "I can guarantee that you''ll regret it ¡­"


    "Regret?" Wang Heng laughed loudly. "Brat, let me go first, don''t blame me for being heartless and unjust ¡­"


    As he spoke, another voice came from the entire training field: "Tian Luo, Lin Tian, you still have half an incense stick of time. If it was in that half an incense stick of time, you would have been eliminated without even obtaining a trial token ¡­"


    "Haha, brat, half an incense stick of time ¡­" Wang Heng laughed softly and threatened, "If you help me block them, I can lend you this token and let you endure for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you don''t help me, if this token falls into their hands, do you think they will lend it to you?"


    Wang Heng, with victory in his grasp, could not help but feel excited.


    However, at this time, those four people were staring coldly at Wang Heng. After a long period of silence, Old Third said, "What, did Senior Martial Brother Wang find a helper?"


    From Wang Heng''s posture just now, he seemed to have found a helper and was talking to someone.


    Wang Heng did not answer, but asked again, "Brat, have you made up your mind yet?"


    Lin Tian did not reply. After a short while, Lin Tian''s figure suddenly appeared behind Old Third. Then, he softly laughed: "Seniors, you''ve guessed correctly. Senior Martial Brother Wang found a helper ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s sudden appearance had greatly shocked the four of them. Just now, no one had noticed that behind them was actually a person.


    But when the four saw who the person behind them was, they were all startled. That third brother''s expression became serious as he looked at Lin Tian and couldn''t help but ask: "Boy, where is the helper?"


    The other three also cast their gaze towards Lin Tian, obviously wanting to know who the helper was.


    As for Lin Tian, he was automatically ignored by them.


    This kid was just a kid from a small country that came to participate in the Thousand Empire War, and judging from the energy fluctuations from his body, he was merely at the third level of the Star Realm. Any one of the four of them could kill him in one move!


    Thus, when Lin Tian said he had a helper, the four of them thought that there were still other disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, so they didn''t think much of Lin Tian ¡­


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian was speechless, how did the brains of these four people grow? He was just a living person standing in front of them, yet they still needed other help?


    Were they blind? Couldn''t they tell that he was Wang Heng''s helper?


    To be honest, the four of them really didn''t see through it.


    But seeing Lin Tian''s strange expression, that Third Brother immediately frowned and asked: "Boy, you''re not trying to say that you''re Wang Heng''s helper?"


    "Of course. Otherwise, who else would be here?" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and replied.


    "Hahahaha..." After the four of them heard this, they were slightly startled, but immediately began laughing loudly again.


    "Senior Martial Brother Wang, is the helper you sought him?" The four of them looked at Wang Heng, their tone full of mockery.


    Even Wang Heng felt embarrassed.


    "That''s him, what do you think?" Wang Heng sneered, "As long as this kid can hold one of you off, I might not be powerless to fight you!"


    "Oh, it would be difficult for Senior brother Wang to have such confidence. Ok, Fourth brother, you go and fight this kid!" Ol ''Three said to Ol'' Four.


    That fourth brother slightly nodded his head and then walked towards Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian suddenly said: "Since you guys don''t believe, then I can''t do anything about it. However, you guys should prepare yourselves. I''m going to make my move ¡­."


    "Why do you talk so much nonsense?" That Second Brother suddenly interrupted Lin Tian and said to the other three: "Fourth Brother, quickly cripple that brat for me. Boss, Third Brother, let''s attack together and cripple this Wang Heng!"


    "With just you?" Wang Heng sneered and pounced towards Old Third.


    Wang Heng had to face three people by himself, so there was only one way to deal with them, and that was to pick one of them and defeat it as quickly as possible. It was already impressive enough that Lin Tian was able to hold onto one.


    However, he was already prepared for a tough battle.


    "Brat, die for me!" That fourth brother didn''t waste time speaking and directly pounced towards Lin Tian. With the strength of one palm, he could almost kill Lin Tian with one palm.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled as his body fiercely moved.


    "Shua." Lin Tian''s figure arrived in front of Old Fourth with an unbelievable speed.


    Facing the fourth brother''s palm, Lin Tian did not have any hesitation and did not have any intentions of blocking.


    Instead, he struck out with his palm towards Fourth Bro.


    The instant the two palms collided, the Fourth Brother was sent flying by Lin Tian''s palm.


    The fourth brother let out a miserable shriek and flew backward. After a while, he knocked over a large tree not too far away. The tree was immediately broken by the fourth brother''s force.


    After that, Ol ''Four was unable to stand up again.


    Lin TianAo had actually fainted from that palm strike.


    "Hmm?" This action was really too big. It immediately attracted the attention of the other four people.


    In the next moment, those four people couldn''t help but let out a collective gasp.


    Wang Heng also stared at Lin Tian: "This brat, this brat is actually this strong?"


    "Then he was pretending to be weak just now?" Wang Heng''s head was filled with ten thousand mud horses.


    "Hmm? I didn''t expect to meet such an expert! " That boss, number two, and number three all looked at Lin Tian.


    "I dare not call myself an expert. I am just a little stronger than ordinary people ¡­" Lin Tian humbly said.


    Wang Heng''s face was in pain, "Why is this line so familiar?"


    In the next moment, he remembered that this kid had also said the same thing. He was only slightly faster than an ordinary person!


    But Wang Heng had already confirmed that this Lin Tian in front of him was someone who was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!

 C416 The reason why they play the role of pigs is because they want to eat tigers!

    "Hey, son of a b * tch, I''ll give you some face. Open up the workshop. Go and kill this brat first!" The second brother was furious and didn''t pay any more attention to Wang Heng. Instead, he charged straight at Lin Tian.


    The third brother stood right there, to prevent Wang Heng from escaping in the chaos.


    At the same time, they also felt that it was enough to deal with this kid without having to go all out.


    They hadn''t seen the process of Fourth Bro being sent flying by Lin Tian''s slap in detail, so they didn''t know what had just happened.


    But now, as soon as the second boss rushed forward, they immediately knew what had just happened.


    This was because the situation had been exactly the same as what had happened to Ol ''Four when the second brother had charged up.


    No, it was actually a little different.


    Because after Second Brother rushed forward, this time Lin Tian did not use a fist, but instead ¡­ .a foot ¡­ ¡­


    Yes, feet.


    This time, the second brother was sent flying by Lin Tian''s kick.


    On the face of number two, there was even a complete footprint ¡­


    However, the experience of the second brother wasn''t too different from the fourth brother''s.


    The fourth brother''s body was sent flying. This time, he knocked over a large tree on the other side. The tree snapped again and the fourth brother suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely dispirited and he was clearly heavily injured.


    Not only that, but because Lin Tian had used his feet just now, it was even more terrifying now.


    The second brother''s face was covered in blood. Coupled with Lin Tian''s footprint, he looked extremely comical.


    But the eldest and the third brother were currently frowning and staring at Lin Tian.


    At this point, they no longer had the mood to care about Wang Heng. These kids in front of them were the real trouble!


    Even though they didn''t want to admit it, they had no choice but to admit that this brat was an expert.


    Not only that, it was the type that had a very high cultivation base.


    However, the reason why he chose to be weak was because he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!


    "Why are you guys looking at me like that for?" The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth twitched: "I''m not interested in men!"


    "Third brother, what should we do?" That boss didn''t know what to do, so he couldn''t help but ask that Ol ''Three.


    Normally, it was always Third Bro who made the decision. Now that the situation was critical, it was only natural to let this Third Bro make the most of the decisions.


    "I don''t know either. Why don''t we leave first ¡­" Number three began to mutter in his heart. Number two and number four''s example was right in front of him. The difference between his strength and that of the other two wasn''t too great.


    One of them had been sent flying with a slap from Lin Tian, and the other had been sent flying with a kick from Lin Tian.


    "Then what about number two and number four?" The boss couldn''t help but ask.


    "Don''t worry, that kid doesn''t dare to kill people. It''s not like you and I don''t know the rules of this training field. The second and fourth brothers don''t have any lives on their hands ¡­" That Old Third explained. Honestly speaking, even their safety isn''t guaranteed, let alone the two unconscious burden ¡­


    "Let''s leave first. At worst, we can find some martial brothers to seek justice for us!" Seeing that their boss was still hesitating, Ol ''Three called out again.


    That boss immediately understood. There were many seniors and juniors here in the Peach Blossom Cave, so he might as well find them first. At most, he would just give up some points and let them capture this brat to vent his anger on the four of them!


    Thinking up to this point, the boss didn''t hesitate any longer. He exchanged a look with Ol ''Three before flying off in quick succession ¡­


    This time, they left very suddenly, Wang Heng did not even have time to react, let alone stop them.


    Who would have thought that the two would just leave like that, ignoring the life and death of the other two ¡­


    "It''s too late to leave ¡­" Lin Tian looked at the two fleeing figures as the corner of his mouth revealed an evil smile.


    The next moment, Wang Heng saw a black shadow flying away.


    Taking a closer look, it turned out that Lin Tian had already rushed towards the direction the two had left in.


    Honestly speaking, Lin Tian had already guessed that these two people would run away. After all, they were not Lin Tian''s opponents.


    However, if they were to leave just like that, how would Lin Tian stand up for Tian Luo when he participates in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms?


    In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already caught up to the two of them.


    "Bam!" Wang Heng only heard a "Bang!" and the next moment, a black shadow flew over from afar.


    In the next moment, the black figure once again knocked down another large tree.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Wang Heng immediately let out a breath of cold air.


    It turned out that the black shadow in front of him was none other than that Old Third.


    At this moment, this Third Bro was similar to the previous Second Bro. On his face, there was an extremely obvious footprint.


    It was obvious that Lin Tian had kicked back ¡­


    Before Wang Heng could recover his wits, he heard another "bang" as another shadow flew over.


    This time, it was none other than the boss.


    However, on the face of this boss, there was a huge handprint.


    Seeing the palm imprint, Wang Heng was almost certain that this boss had flown back with a slap from Lin Tian ¡­


    Wang Heng felt his heart tremble. This kid, was he that strong?


    One must know, this kid''s cultivation was only at the 3rd level of the Milky Way Realm. How come these four people, all of their strengths were at the 4th level of the Milky Way?


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng''s heart also felt a pang of bitterness. In this way, he would not be this brat''s opponent!


    Thinking about how she threatened that fellow just now, now that she thought about it, she was really ambitious ¡­


    However, since he had already done it, there was nothing he could do about it. However, Wang Heng did not dare to run away now.


    The ending for his boss and his third brother was right in front of his eyes. He also knew how terrifying Lin Tian''s speed was ¡­ ¡­


    While he was thinking this, not far away, Lin Tian had already returned.


    "Senior Martial Brother Wang, are you admitting defeat now?" Lin Tian clapped his hands and ignored the four people who had fainted. Instead, he walked in front of Wang Heng and asked softly ¡­


    Wang Heng felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. Just as he was about to say something ¡­


    On the training field, another familiar voice sounded: "Tian Luo, Lin Tian, in ten seconds, you will be eliminated!"


    "Hmm?" Wang Heng hesitated once again.


    As long as he could last ten seconds, this kid would be eliminated and sent out.


    When that time came, this trial would be his!


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng clenched his teeth, but seeing Lin Tian''s smiling expression, he immediately hesitated.


    To give or not to give, that was a big problem!

 C417 Two selections

    Wang Heng knew, of course, that when Lin Tian asked him if he was willing to admit defeat, he wanted Wang Heng to return the token.


    However, to say that there were still ten seconds left, it immediately caused Wang Heng to have more thoughts.


    He only needed to persevere for another ten seconds.


    However, when he saw Lin Tian''s expression, he fell into deep confusion. Could he still last ten seconds?


    Finally, on the fifth second, Wang Heng gave in.


    He knew that if he continued to hesitate like this, the next person who would faint and fly away with a kick would be him.


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng directly threw the order badge to Lin Tian.


    It was at this moment that another voice sounded from the stadium.


    "Tian Luo Lin Tian ¡­" The voice only said this one sentence, and then it no longer said anything.


    This was because the current Lin Tian was firmly grasping the trial token in his hand.


    After wasting an incense stick of time, Lin Tian finally retrieved his own trial token.


    At the same time, the other people in the stadium all stopped their movements, as if they were waiting for the voice''s final judgement of Lin Tian.


    However, even after a long time, the voice could no longer speak.


    Of course, to everyone else, they would know what this meant.


    This basically meant that Lin Tian had once again obtained the trial token, which was why he wasn''t eliminated ¡­


    Knowing this, some people were happy while others were worried.


    "I knew it. How could Lin Kuang be eliminated so easily?" At this moment, Fang Xing and the others were standing together, waiting for the final result.


    In the end, that voice also didn''t say the words that eliminated Lin Tian.


    Ji Fangge and the other three let out a sigh of relief.


    "Lin Kuang?" Ji Fangge was slightly stunned, as if he did not understand what the words meant.


    "Oh, it''s Lin Tian''s nickname. This guy is known as the Battle Mad Demon, don''t you know him?" Fang Xing couldn''t help but ask.


    "Haha, this is the first time I''ve heard of it ¡­" The corner of Ji Fangge''s mouth hooked up into a smile, "However, it goes without saying that this nickname is extremely suitable for him!"


    "In addition, this guy has another title. The three of us gave it to him." "Cultivation Berserk Demon!" Fang Xing continued.


    "This title is indeed appropriate!" Ji Fang Ge slightly nodded his head. Lin Tian and he had known each other for quite a long time. Cultivating berserk demons could be said to be quite suitable.


    All five of us came out of the Azure Province Academy. This time, we might as well compete with that Lin Kuang Devil in this training field. He will fight alone and the four of us will go together. At this moment, Ji Fangge was also somewhat competitive and could not help but speak to the other three.


    "Alright!" Fang Xing''s eyes lit up. To be honest, he was born with the Talisman Body, Du Feng had the Heavenly Dao Body, Gu Yan''er had the Poison Body, and Ji Fangge was the Holy Son.


    The four of them could be said to be the favored of the heavens. A natural born spirit body should be worthy of being proud of, but for some reason, when comparing them to Lin Tian, no matter what, they felt that they were far inferior to Lin Tian.


    In front of Lin Tian, they didn''t have any sense of superiority. As long as they didn''t work hard for a day, it was almost impossible to keep up with Lin Tian''s cultivation speed.


    By now, even Fang Xing and the rest were risking their lives to cultivate ¡­


    Thus, they all had thoughts of comparing themselves with Lin Tian.


    At this moment, when Ji Fangge said this, everyone''s spirits were immediately lifted.


    The three of them nodded lightly and headed directly for the depths of the stadium.


    At the same time, the other students participating in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms were not very happy.


    He had originally thought that Lin Tian would be eliminated.


    However, he never expected that the final result would be like this!


    However, in this way, they all gave up.


    The name of Lin Tian was far stranger to the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect in the training grounds.


    So, no one cared because they did not know who Lin Tian was. They had already started to search everywhere for the students with the trial token ¡­


    "Hmm?" At this moment, the cold wind, who was in charge of supervising everyone outside the training field, was suddenly startled. "He actually managed to retrieve his own training ground at the last second. I really don''t know if this brat is lucky or powerful ¡­"


    At this moment, Ling Wuji''s gaze swept across the crowd in the Heaven''s Expanse Palace on Lingxiao Peak. He then sighed softly, "I can''t figure out what this brat is planning to do right now ¡­"


    Everyone else was somewhat puzzled as well. After which, they stared intently at the stone wall above.


    At this time, on the stone wall, Lin Tian and Wang Heng appeared.


    Only, what they did not expect was that Lin Tian did not attack Wang Heng as they had expected.


    On this stone wall, their projections in the stadium could only be seen, but their voices could not be heard. Thus, at this moment, no one knew what exactly the two of them were talking about ¡­


    "Does Senior-apprentice Brother Wang still remember the bet we made just now?" Lin Tian asked Wang Heng at this time.


    "Of course I remember, of course I remember. I wonder what is this junior''s name ¡­" He was not stupid at all. Although at the last moment, he had still given the trial token to Lin Tian, he had still not complied with the previous bet, so he was now very afraid that Lin Tian would find him and settle the score.


    He, he couldn''t beat Lin Tian ah ¡­


    "My name is Lin Tian, senior brother can still remember it well. Only, I really didn''t think that senior brother would still remember the bet just now!" Lin Tian slightly nodded his head: "However, Senior Martial Brother Wang did not seem to be honest just now ¡­"


    "Junior brother Lin, junior brother Lin, please listen to brother''s explanation ¡­" Wang Heng anxiously said to Lin Tian.


    "I don''t really want to hear it, but Senior, I am not a bad person. How about this, I will give you two choices. First, you have the same choice as them ¡­" Saying that, Lin Tian pointed at the four unconscious people behind him.


    "I choose the second choice!" Wang Heng immediately shouted out, not allowing Lin Tian to speak of his second choice.


    "Smart, you''re really sensible!" Lin Tian praised him and then lightly said, "The second choice is quite simple. Just follow me until the end of the Thousand Kingdom War, Senior Martial Brother Wang!"


    "Hmm?" Wang Heng was stunned. No matter what, he would never have thought that Lin Tian would actually make such a request ¡­

 C418 Oath of heavenly law

    "Follow you?" In an instant, Wang Heng didn''t seem to understand what Lin Tian meant and couldn''t help but ask.


    "That''s right." Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head, then said: "Of course, you can also reject it. Then I''ll take it that you chose to choose the first choice that I just said ¡­"


    "No no no, junior brother Lin, you misunderstood my meaning ¡­" Wang Heng waved his hand. He was not stupid, this was a choice he had no other choice.


    Naturally, he did not want to pass out like those people.


    What he meant just now was that he wanted to know Lin Tian''s goal.


    Letting a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect follow him, could it be that this Lin Tian had some sort of scheme?


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng immediately smiled and asked: "Junior brother Lin, could it be that you have some plan on the training field that you want to implement, which is why you need my help?"


    "That''s right." Lin Tian looked at Wang Heng with astonishment. He never would have thought that this Wang Heng was actually not a boorish man like he thought. Before Lin Tian had even said what he thought, this Wang Heng was able to faintly guess his goal.


    But just as Wang Heng was about to speak, Lin Tian lightly emitted an incomparably boundless Spirit power that covered him, Wang Heng, and the four people who fainted.


    Wang Heng did not understand. He waited until Lin Tian completely enveloped them with his Spiritual Energy.


    Lin Tian then opened his mouth: "The next step is too shocking, it''s better to be careful ¡­ ¡­"


    But at this time, Wang Heng was somewhat stupefied, and stared at Lin Tian: "Junior brother Lin, you, you are actually a strong Symbol Master?!"


    Just now, when Lin Tian released his spiritual energy, Wang Heng already knew that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master.


    But he never would have thought that Lin Tian''s mental strength was actually so strong.


    However, Lin Tian''s actions caused Wang Heng to have a whole new level of respect for Lin Tian.


    Not only was this young man extremely powerful, his thoughts were also extremely profound.


    "Hmm?" At the same time, in the Soaring Cloud Hall.


    At this moment, everyone''s attention was focused on the stone wall.


    However, at this moment, the stone wall was covered by a layer of mist. Lin Tian and Wang Heng''s bodies, as well as the four people who had fainted, were submerged within the mist.


    "Interesting, I am a little interested in this kid now, but I don''t know what he is after to actually avoid our prying eyes ¡­" The previously silent Summit Master of the Bu Fang Summit, Ling Tianzhi, also spoke up at this moment.


    As the name implied, Ling Tian was on the Blizzard Mountain, which was a place where divination and scheming took place.


    From time to time, the Peak Master Ling Tian''s eyes flickered as if he was calculating something.


    Unfortunately, in the vast fog, Ling Tian could not calculate anything.


    Moreover, this was not the most important thing. The most terrifying thing was that Ling Tianzhi could vaguely feel that something was preventing him from continuing to scheme.


    Ling Tian was becoming more and more interested in Lin Tian, "This is truly interesting, there''s actually someone who can avoid my Heavenly Heart Manipulation?"


    Thinking of this, Ling Tian did not hesitate at all. He spat out a copper coin and the copper coin began to rapidly spin. However, it did not last long.


    Ling Tian spat out a mouthful of blood.


    His face was pale to the extreme, and his face was filled with disbelief. He shouted in fear, "This child, just what is his identity?"


    The other Peak Masters were slightly startled, not knowing what had happened.


    Why would Ling Tian suddenly have such a reaction?


    On the other hand, Ling Wuji had guessed a little. At this moment, he looked towards Ling Tian with a questioning look.


    Ling Tianji nodded slightly.


    Only then did Ling Wuji let out a low sigh. He waved his sleeve and the scene on the stone wall disappeared without a trace.


    At the same time, Lin Tian suddenly felt his mind tremble, but in the next moment, it was calm once again.


    "What''s going on?" Lin Tian''s face turned cold.


    "Hehe, there''s actually someone who doesn''t know his place and wants to scout out your future?" At this time, Horned Demon within the Divine Mansion coldly snorted and then said to Lin Tian.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian slightly froze, not knowing what to do.


    "Just now, someone was trying to pry into your life!" Horned Demon explained, "However, you are a descendant of the Ancestral Dragon, no one can define your future path. If he wants to spy on us, not only did he suffer the backlash from the heavens, but he was also detected by your Ancestral Dragon inheritance and rebounded back ¡­"


    "Who is it?" Lin Tian immediately came back to his senses and asked in a deep voice.


    "I don''t know, but kid, I''m guessing it''s those famous people from the Cloudsoaring sect ¡­" Horned Demon muttered to himself: "Earlier, I vaguely sensed that someone was secretly observing you. However, there was no malicious intent in it and I was too lazy to pay any attention to it. However, I believe that you were just releasing your Mental Energy to cover yourself, which is why they joined forces to scheme against you ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s expression finally eased up.


    Truth be told, he had used up all of his spiritual energy just to prevent anyone from spying on him. This was because his following plans were practically impossible to see.


    But he didn''t expect that his actions would bring him a lot of trouble ¡­


    But Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it.


    His fate was something that Horned Demon had mentioned before, but even he was unable to see through it.


    But now, if someone else still wanted to spy on them, wouldn''t that just be courting death?


    Lin Tian did not pay any attention to it. His gaze returned to Wang Heng.


    Wang Heng was also a little curious earlier. This Lin Tian, when he released his Mental Energy to envelop them, why did he suddenly stop talking ¡­


    When he saw Lin Tian looking at him, Wang Heng opened his mouth to ask: "Junior brother Lin, I wonder what plans you have?"


    Lin Tian glanced at Wang Heng and said, "Senior brother Wang, do not be anxious. I would like to invite senior brother Wang to swear an oath to the heavens first. I will say that my plan will not be too late ¡­"


    "A vow to the Dao of the Heavens?" Wang Heng was startled, but immediately became suspicious, "Junior brother Lin, what exactly do you want to do? "This is the Virtuous Heaven Sect, I am a disciple of the Sect, I cannot be sentenced to be in my own sect. I hope Junior Apprentice Brother Lin will not harm me, I still want to live for a few more days!"


    These words were said clearly and clearly. Wang Heng was naturally worried that Lin Tian was about to do something that would endanger the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    If that was the case, he would never do it. He would rather be knocked unconscious by Lin Tian so that he would not die, but if he did something that would let down the Lingxiao Saint Sect, then Wang Heng would die for sure ¡­


    "Senior brother Wang, don''t worry. Why would I harm you ¡­" Knowing Wang Heng''s thoughts, Lin Tian smiled slightly, then replied: "After this battle at the stadium, I will also become one of the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect. In other words, the Virtuous Cloud Sect is also my sect, so how could I possibly harm them ¡­"


    Wang Heng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then why do you want me to make a vow to the Dao of the Heavens?"


    This time, Lin Tian did not reply. What replaced Lin Tian''s answer was an oath.


    "I, Lin Tian, swear an oath to the heavens that my plans in the training field will not harm Wang Heng, nor will I harm the heart of the Ling Xiao Sect. I will use the heavens as my witness!"


    Lin Tian actually did not waste any words. He first swore an oath to the heavens and made it clear that he would definitely not harm Wang Heng and the Cloudsoaring sect ¡­


    As he said this, Wang Heng had nothing else to say.


    He also swore an oath to the Dao of the Heavens.


    An oath to the Dao of the Heavens was a promise made between cultivators.


    The power of a martial cultivator came from the heavens and the earth. Thus, the rules of the Heavenly Dao were something martial cultivators had to follow.


    An oath to the Dao of the Heavens was to use the rules of the Dao of the Heavens as a witness. After one swore an oath to the Dao of the Heavens, one must abide by it.


    Otherwise, punishment will descend from the heavens. This was similar to the so-called contract signed between human cultivators and demon beasts ¡­


    "Junior brother Lin, can you tell me your goal now ¡­" Wang Heng asked again, he really wanted to know, what kind of medicine was this Lin Tian Gourd up to!


    "Of course, Senior Martial Brother Wang, please take a look at this!" Lin Tian took out a metal plate from his chest and gave it to Wang Heng ¡­

 C419 Lingxiao saint sect

    "This, this is the inner court disciple token of the Virtuous Cloud Sect?" Wang Heng curiously took the token, and after examining it for a moment, he exclaimed.


    "Inner court disciple order?" Lin Tian laughed softly, he had a plan in his heart.


    It would seem that his guess was correct. This badge was indeed something similar to an identity token.


    That metal plate was none other than the plate that Lin Tian had obtained from Zhang Kun after killing him.


    "Junior brother Lin, where did you obtain this token?" At this point, Wang Heng couldn''t help but ask.


    "I picked it up ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled, but he didn''t say where he had gotten it from.


    Wang Heng naturally did not believe him, but looking at the situation, he knew that Lin Tian was unwilling to say it.


    So he tactfully did not ask, but he also understood why Lin Tian wanted him to swear an oath to the heavens.


    This Disciple''s Token was an extremely valuable item and was definitely not allowed to be hidden. If it was hidden, then in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, it would be a capital offense ¡­


    Instead, he took the initiative to answer, "Junior brother Lin, you are not yet a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, so perhaps you do not know the use of this medallion, forget it, I will give you a general description of the sect rules and some other matters. When I finish speaking, you will understand most of it ¡­"


    "I''m all ears!" This was Lin Tian''s goal. He knew almost nothing about the Lingxiao Sacred Sect and this token was also a ticking time bomb.


    So we still have to find out.


    The Lingxiao Saint Sect is divided into nine peaks, with one hundred and eight holes. I believe you should know that the nine peaks are respectively: Lingxiao Peak, Worryfree Peak, Heavencraft Peak, Lingyue Peak, Danding Peak, Bu Ji Peak, Divine Martial Peak, Refining Mountain, and even the Mission Hall.


    "Ling Xiao Peak''s Peak Master is currently the Great Elder of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect, Ling Wuji. Of course, due to the fact that the Sect Master has been in seclusion for a long time, the affairs of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect are basically handled by the Great Elder. And the Great Elder is also the strongest within the entire Western Spiritual Realm! And because of the presence of the Great Elder, Lingxiao Peak is also the strongest peak in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect. "


    "The Peak Master of the Worryfree Peak is Ling Wuyou. The Worryfree Peak is responsible for the disciple selection, and all of you, the students selected from all the countries, will have to undergo five rounds of examinations. The five rounds of examinations are all under the responsibility of the Worryfree Peak, and I am also a member of the Worryfree Peak ¡­"


    "No wonder!" Lin Tian lightly nodded his head.


    Yang Qian, who was in charge of the Iron Man Trial, was a disciple of Worryfree Peak.


    As the name implies, the Tian Ji Summit is Ling Tianji. As the name implies, it is the refining peak of our Lingxiao Saint Sect and practically all of the divine weapons within the sect are forged by the Tian Ji Summit. Not only that, but the Tian Ji Summit has also created many traps and puppets.


    Lin Tian nodded his head and continued to look at Wang Heng, listening to his introduction.


    As for the Lingyue Peak, the Peak Master''s name is Ling Yue, Lingyue Peak is the weakest peak, and the Peak Master of the Lingyue Peak is also the weakest among the nine peaks." As for the Lingyue Peak, the Peak Master''s name is Ling Yue, the peak is the weakest, and the Peak Master of the Lingyue Peak is the weakest among the nine peaks, so the


    Speaking up to here, Wang Heng added, "Junior brother Lin, you are also a student from those kingdoms. You should know that each kingdom has a guide ¡­"


    Lin Tian nodded his head. The person responsible for receiving them was Zhang Kun.


    "Those receptionists are all disciples of the Spirit Peak ¡­" Wang Heng ridiculed him.


    Lin Tian Deng nodded his head, "Oh, then signaled Wang Heng to continue.


    "The Peak Master of Danding Peak is Ling Dan. I''m sure you know by the name that Danding Peak is the one in charge of refining pills. There are a lot of disciples in the Ling Xiao Saint Sect and pills are the most important cultivation resource for the disciples. Therefore, Danding Peak is extremely important in the Nine Peaks, just like that Tian Ji Summit ¡­"


    "As for Bu Ji Peak, the peak master is Ling Tian. I believe you can understand why. Bu Ji Peak is an extremely mysterious peak. Very few people have seen the disciples of Bu Ya Peak. I heard that it is extremely rare ¡­"


    "Bu Jifeng, Ling Tian calculated?" Lin Tian secretly memorized the name Ling Tian in his heart. At this moment he already roughly understood that the reason he was plotted against just now was probably because this Ling Tian was plotting against him from behind his back.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, what, do you know that Blizzard Peak, or do you know Ling Tian?" Hearing Lin Tian say Ling Tian''s name, Wang Heng was slightly startled and then asked Lin Tian.


    "I don''t know him." Lin Tian faintly shook his head before saying: "Please continue ¡­ ¡­"


    "Divine Martial Peak, the Peak Master is Ling Shen Wu, and this peak is the second strongest existence in our Lingxiao Saint Sect. Excluding Lingxiao Peak, it is also the Divine Martial Peak." Divine Martial Peak, the Peak Master is Ling Shen Wu, and this peak is the second strongest existence in our Lingxiao Saint Sect. As he said this, Wang Heng''s face was full of regret. It was clear that he was regretful that he was unable to join the Godly Martial Peak ¡­


    "Peak of Trials, the Peak Master is Ling Lian. The training mountain, as the name implies, is the peak that is responsible for taking the exam for the students. Normally, the competition between the peaks, and even the sparring between the disciples, are all within the jurisdiction of the training mountain."


    "The last mission hall is the only hall that does not have a ''mountain'' as its name. The hall master of the Hall of Missions is called Ling Mission, and we nicknamed it ''Mission Receiving'' ¡­ "Of course, this Mission Hall is also the most powerful sect in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect. All of the missions issued by the Lingxiao Sacred Sect are issued by the Mission Hall ¡­"


    Wang Heng had already explained the structure of the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect to Lin Tian with these words.


    At this moment, Lin Tian had a whole new understanding of the entire Virtuous Cloud Sect ¡­


    "Junior brother Lin, as for the 108 holes down there, I won''t say much because there are simply too many of them. There are so many that I can''t even remember myself ¡­" Wang Heng said in embarrassment and then said to Lin Tian.


    "Of course." Lin Tian nodded.


    "En, I''ll tell you about the Lingxiao Sacred Sect''s division of seniority next ¡­" Wang Heng continued, "In the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, everyone is divided into three generations. The first generation is the Peak Masters of the nine great peaks, as well as all the elders of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect ¡­"


    "However, you should know that seniority has nothing to do with age. It is only related to strength ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian looked at Wang Heng with a questioning look, as if he didn''t understand what Wang Heng meant.


    "Is this really that hard to understand?" Wang Heng scratched his head and then laughed, "I might not have made it clear to you, let me put it this way."


    "The strength of the Nine Peak Master is at the peak of the Manifestation stage. The strongest Great Elder has already stepped into the Emperor Stage! Furthermore, the elders in charge of teaching the disciples and the many experts in charge are all at the initial Manifestation stage. In other words, in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, as long as you are able to step into the Manifestation stage, you are known as the first generation. "


    Wang Heng continued to explain, afraid that Lin Tian wouldn''t understand.


    "Understood!" Lin Tian nodded his head: "You mean, as long as your strength reaches the Manifestation Realm, regardless of identity, regardless of age, you will automatically become an elder and also become a first generation elder, right?"


    "That''s right, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, your perception is truly formidable!" Wang Heng smiled as he faced Lin Tian.


    "Then, how is the second generation divided?" Lin Tian asked again.


    "The second generation is the Peak Master''s 108th cave master and the deacon in the cave!" Wang Heng continued, "These cave master and deacon are the second generation."


    "What about the third generation?"


    "The third generation is even simpler. The third generation is filled with many disciples ¡­" Wang Heng looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled face.


    "Understood." At this moment, he finally understood the division of seniority within the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. He also understood the reason why when he had casually mentioned that night that the Great Elder wanted to take him in as his last disciple, even Hua Tianyi had immediately called him Junior Master.


    Great Elder naturally came from the first generation. He was the last disciple of Great Elder, so he was naturally from the second generation.


    Hua Tiandu and the others could be counted as the third generation disciples. There was no problem in calling them martial uncles.


    Seeing that Lin Tian had understood, Wang Heng continued to say: "Generally speaking, the first and second generation can be considered as the upper echelons of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, while the third generation is the core strength of the entire Sect."


    "The third generation disciples are also divided into three groups: Successor Disciples, Core Disciples, Inner Disciples, and Outer Disciples."


    After Wang Heng said this, Lin Tian started to pay more attention to him. The point that Wang Heng was talking about, was what he was most concerned about.


    Right now, they only understood it in advance.


    A true disciple, also known as the disciple under the master of the Ninth Peak. Because the masters of the nine peaks have great authority and strength, they are able to attract the attention of the masters of the nine peaks.


    "Core disciples are the disciples of the elders of the top nine peaks. The status of the elders is second only to that of the nine peak masters. Their disciples are the core disciples and the future pillars of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect."


    "Inner disciples, they are also the disciples of the 108 cave masters. These disciples, are all disciples of potential, and with the personal guidance of the cave master, their progress is very fast. Once a certain cave master''s disciple is chosen by an elder or peak master, they will become the core disciples, and even their position as the cave master will rise greatly ¡­"


    "As for the outer disciples, they are the disciples of those deacons in the 108 holes. Generally speaking, new disciples that have just joined the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, unless they are extremely talented, will first start with the outer disciples. After the next round of the selection competition, the outstanding outer disciples will be able to stand out and become inner disciples ¡­"


    As Wang Heng said this, he explained one more sentence, "Just now you also knew, because all the Peak Masters and the Elders above the Nine Peaks are of the first generation, so once you become a core disciple, your seniority will also rise. Wang Heng said this, then explained another sentence," As you already knew this, all the Peak Masters and the Elders above the Nine Peaks will be of the first generation, so once you become a core disciple.


    "Of course, other than these disciples, because of the great background of our Lingxiao Sacred Sect, we also need a lot of service disciples, so outside of the four great disciples, there are also countless service disciples. However, the status of service disciples is relatively low, so you don''t need to be too concerned about it ¡­"


    Lin Tian continued to nod his head as he roughly understood the overall structure of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. Of course, this was also what he wanted to know to begin with, and it was also related to his following plans!

 C420 Im rich!

    But after hearing what Wang Heng had said, Lin Tian understood the meaning behind this disciple token.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Ming asked knowingly: "Senior Martial Brother Wang, do you mean that the plate I picked up was an inner disciple''s token?"


    "That''s right!" Wang Heng nodded his head and took out an identical token from his chest pocket.


    The plate was almost exactly the same as Zhang Kun''s. The only difference was that the patterns on the plate were clearly different.


    Wang Heng pointed to the insignia and said, "The insignia I possess is also an inner sect disciple token. I believe you heard that I am the disciple of the Unparalleled Cave Lord at the Worryfree Peak, so I am an inner sect disciple. That is why I was able to recognize this token at first glance."


    Lin Tian nodded his head and then asked the most important question: "Senior brother Wang, do you know what use this disciple token has? Is it just a symbol of status?"


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, you''ve finally asked the right question!" Wang Heng nodded at Lin Tian, then explained with a smile: "First of all, this disciple token is just as you said, it is a symbol of status."


    "Once a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect reveals his medallion, he will immediately be able to determine the student''s status and position so as to not cause unnecessary trouble." Wang Heng continued.


    "As for the second one, this identity token is related to cultivation resources!" At this point, Wang Heng''s tone became serious.


    "Oh, I''d like to hear more about it." Lin Tian''s eyebrows flashed as he gently smiled and asked.


    "Like I said earlier, there are Danding Peak and Heaven''s Secret Peak on the nine peaks. These two peaks are rich in all kinds of divine weapons and pills. I believe I don''t need to explain what this means for us cultivators ¡­" At this point, Wang Heng''s eyes also lit up.


    "Generally speaking, disciples have different levels and enjoy different resources, such as true disciples, the resources they enjoy are simply unimaginable, even core disciples have countless resources, as for inner disciples, although it cannot be compared to core disciples and true disciples, but they can still enjoy a lot of resources, only outer disciples, the difference is ¡­"


    With that, Wang Heng pointed to the four people who had fainted. He then said to Lin Tian, "These four people are actually outer sect disciples, but their strength is about the same."


    "Hmm?" Hearing this, Lin Tian suddenly felt something was wrong: "Senior brother Wang, before we entered the training field, the Cold Wind Cave Master that was in charge of the Sentencing Cave told us that the disciples currently in the training field are all outer disciples. But, you are an inner disciple, so why are you here ¡­"


    Wang Heng seemed to have guessed that Lin Tian would ask this question. He smiled and explained: "That''s because I have the status of an inner disciple, but I don''t have the strength of an inner disciple ¡­"


    "That Wushuang''s cave master is my distant cousin''s uncle. In fact, I should be considered a relative ¡­" Wang Heng smiled before turning to Lin Tian.


    "Actually, this is also a normal occurrence in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect." After a pause, Wang Heng continued, "Among the nine peaks, there is one mission hall."


    Saying this, Wang Heng smiled and asked Lin Tian: "Junior brother Lin, do you know why these students are so interested in your trial token?"


    "Because of points?" Lin Tian replied without hesitation.


    However, Lin Tian only knew that they were here for points so they came to snatch his trial token. But as for what the points were used for, he still needed Wang Heng to answer.


    "That''s right, it''s for the points!" Wang Heng nodded his head seriously, "Because the jurisdiction of my Lingxiao Sacred Sect is extremely vast, forget about the over a thousand kingdoms, even the surrounding areas of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect have huge territories. And for so many huge territories, there will naturally be endless conflicts and conflicts; the most important way to resolve them is to rely on these disciples."


    "Therefore, in the Nine Peaks, the Mission Hall is the only one known as the ''Hall'', thus showing the status of the Mission Hall." So in the Nine Peaks, the Mission Hall is the only one known as the ''Hall'', thus showing the status of the Mission Hall.


    "This point is also known as contribution points in the Virtuous Cloud Sect. Simply put, points are everything in the Virtuous Cloud Sect!"


    "In the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, almost all cultivation resources need to be exchanged for points. In other words, points are equivalent to money in the secular world!" Wang Heng looked excited.


    After saying that, he smiled and asked: "Senior brother Wang, your words seem to contradict each other. You said just now that the Lingxiao Sacred Sect would distribute cultivation resources based on the level of their disciples, but now you say that points are everything. What kind of logic is this?"


    Wang Heng smiled and replied, "Junior brother Lin, do you really not know the reason behind this?"


    "In the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, the sect will indeed distribute cultivation resources based on the level of the students. However, for students who want to improve faster, these cultivation resources are far from enough, so in order to improve faster, they will need more resources. And they will need more resources, so naturally, they will need points."


    Hearing this, Lin Tian completely understood. To put it bluntly, his points in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect were almost the same as his in the Azure Province. The same was true for the Azure Province, as they required contribution points to obtain resources.


    You either help the sect or work hard to cultivate to become a higher level disciple. That way, you''ll be able to obtain the support of endless cultivation resources.


    Thinking of this, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth hooked into a strange smile. He already had an idea in his heart.


    "No wonder. No wonder all of us new students are treated like fat sheep. But, I wonder how many points this smelting trial token can be exchanged for?" Lin Tian asked again.


    Let me tell you this, it is the most difficult mission hanging in the Mission Hall, which is basically a mission that even direct disciples can''t complete, and it is only 500 points. But you new students all have a token with you, which is equivalent to 100 points, and we only need to take away five of you students, which is equivalent to obtaining points from a mission that even direct disciples can''t complete. So, how can''t we, the outer disciples, and those who are about to enter the inner sect, be crazy? " Wang Heng explained. Finally, he said with a smile that was not a smile, "To be honest, in the eyes of us disciples, there is only one word written on your faces, which is points!"


    "This description is rather fitting!" Lin Tian laughed and then pointed at Zhang Kun''s disciple token and said to Wang Heng: "Senior brother Wang, I wonder how many points you can find in this token?"


    "Of course!" Wang Heng''s finger moved slightly as he grabbed the command medallion in his hand.


    He placed his disciple token onto Zhang Kun''s disciple token. Zhang Kun''s disciple token started to tremble violently. The next moment, the points on Zhang Kun''s disciple token appeared on it.


    "This is a unique method of checking the points of other disciples." Wang Heng continued to introduce to Lin Tian.


    According to Wang Heng, disciples were prohibited from fighting in private by the rules of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, but they were encouraged to fight for other people''s points in competitions, trials, and other competitions. These rules were also used to encourage disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect to fight non-stop and quickly improve themselves.


    However, when that number appeared, the smile on Wang Heng''s face immediately disappeared.


    In its place was a look of shock and disbelief!


    Lin Tian was slightly startled as he looked at the points displayed on the disciple token. When he saw that number, Lin Tian was also shocked ¡­


    But immediately after, Lin Tian''s heart was suddenly ecstatic. Right now there were only three words in his heart, which were: "I''ve struck it rich!"


    Yes, he was rich.


    Because, the number on top of the disciple token was impressively ¡ª 10,000!


    That''s right, 10,000 points!


    10,000 points, what kind of concept was that!


    This was equal to completing 20 missions that even direct disciples could not accomplish. Only then would one obtain 10,000 points!


    Lin Tian and Wang Heng were both stunned. They never thought that Zhang Kun would have 10,000 points!


    This was almost completely impossible!


    This was especially true for Wang Heng. As a disciple of the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect, he naturally knew how important the points were and how difficult it was to obtain them.


    For a war of a thousand kingdoms like this, although one could quickly obtain points, every single one of them was separated by ten years.


    It had to be known that Wang Heng had been in the Cloudsoaring sect for several years. With 10,000 points, even if he didn''t use any points and completed missions every day, it would still be impossible to accumulate all of them.


    But now, this token actually had 10,000 points, and Lin Tian had even said that he had picked it up ¡­


    Wang Heng felt that his brain was no longer enough. He really wanted to ask, "This Junior Martial Brother Lin, how exactly did you pick it up?"


    Lin Tian was also somewhat happy, but he did not change his expression and said to Wang Heng: "Senior brother Wang, it seems that little brother''s luck is not bad. I did not expect to casually pick up a token and actually get 10,000 points, that is to say, even if I were to join the Lingxiao Sacred Sect later on, with 10,000 points, I would not have to bitterly laugh and go to the Mission Hall to complete the mission ah ¡­"


    At this moment, Wang Heng''s face was filled with envy. At this moment, he couldn''t help but think evilly, but he suppressed it. The lesson from those four people was right in front of him, he didn''t want to be the fifth one ¡­


    Lin Tian did not waste any words. Just as he was about to put away the token, Wang Heng suddenly stopped him!


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s face instantly turned cold, and he stared straight at Wang Heng: What? "Could it be that senior brother Wang has his eyes on my 10,000 points?"


    "No, no, no ¡­" Wang Heng immediately shook his head, "Junior brother Lin, you misunderstood me, this token is not safe for you ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled, then he asked with a fake smile: "Why?"


    "Junior brother Lin, you are not yet a disciple of my Lingxiao Sacred Sect, so even if these 10,000 points are in your hands, it would be impossible for you to use them." If you use it, you will be investigated by someone who wishes to use it. That would be a huge disaster, a man is innocent, possessing treasures is a crime, you should understand ¡­ " Wang Heng could not help but advise.


    He was extremely clear about the sect rules, and he knew that the Lingxiao Sacred Sect would never interfere with a disciple, but if they violated the sect rules, then the sect would punish the disciple very severely, even to the point of strict punishment!


    This meant that the disciple had died, and the latter had disappeared without a trace. This kind of matter, had to be reported to the sect immediately, and the sect had to be registered, and once it was handed over to the sect, the points would naturally not be returned, and the sect rules forbade the use of dead disciples'' points.


    Lin Tian was so ostentatious. If someone else saw it, the consequences would be unimaginable. That was why Wang Heng spoke up to stop him ¡­

 C421 Were doing this for their own good!

    Hearing Wang Heng say the reason to dissuade him, Lin Tian was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.


    However, at this moment, he felt that things were a little tricky. The rules of the Cloudsoaring sect might really be a big problem!


    If he was not a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, then these 10,000 points were nothing to him. In any case, he could not use them, but since he had become a disciple of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, he could not use these 10,000 points in his hands.


    However, no matter what, Lin Tian would never give up on entering the Cloudsoaring sect. His goal in participating in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms was very important, and that was to become a disciple of the Cloudsoaring sect.


    Thinking of this, in a moment, Lin Tian fell into a dilemma.


    But at this moment, Wang Heng suddenly said, "I wonder if Junior brother Lin can trust me ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood the meaning behind Wang Heng''s words.


    He did not waste any time and directly asked, "Senior brother Wang, do you have a way? "I don''t mind telling you."


    Wang Heng smiled and replied, "Alright, then I will speak of my suggestion. For this matter, speaking of difficulty is not difficult. I have a plan, but I do not know if Junior Apprentice Brother Lin is willing ¡­"


    Wang Heng was extremely cautious when speaking, but Lin Tian was a bit impatient: "Senior brother Wang doesn''t have to worry too much. If you have any ideas, just say it!"


    "Alright, then I''ll be bold to say it. Actually, the ten thousand points on this Disciple''s Token can first be drawn onto my command medallion ¡­" After Wang Heng said this, he carefully looked at Lin Tian''s expression and found that Lin Tian was not angry. He then continued: "Wait until Junior brother Lin officially becomes a disciple of the Holy Sect in Lingxiao and possesses his own disciple token. Then naturally, my ten thousand points will be returned to the original owner."


    However, Lin Tian did not say anything for a long time. He understood Wang Heng''s meaning. If these 10,000 points were placed in his hands, it would be too outrageous, and might even attract the attention of some people.


    However, if it was Wang Heng''s Disciple Order, then everything could be explained ¡­


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate at all and directly said: "Then why are you still hesitating? "However, I will have to trouble senior brother Wang then ¡­"


    "Hmm?" This time it was Wang Heng''s turn to be shocked. He never thought that Lin Tian would actually be so decisive!


    However, Wang Heng didn''t waste his breath and directly grabbed Zhang Kun''s disciple token. The token was once again placed with the token in Wang Heng''s hand.


    In the blink of an eye, the two tokens started to shine. At the same time, Wang Heng found out who the owner of the token was.


    "Zhang Kun?" Wang Heng''s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment. He had seen this name before, but there were too many disciples in the Virtuous Cloud Sect. He couldn''t remember who Zhang Kun was ¡­


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin really trusts brother. However, does Junior-apprentice Brother Lin not worry? Now that I have obtained 10,000 points, I will go back on my word and not return it to you. What can you do?"


    "Senior Wang is a smart person, I doubt he would do anything foolish ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled, but immediately said: "From the start, no one has ever taken away my things ¡­ ¡­"


    Of course I believe that senior brother Wang isn''t such a person. However, I must remind you that if senior brother Wang had been greedy and tried to kill you, I would have had a hundred ways ¡­" Saying that, a cold glint appeared in Lin Tian''s eyes and he stared straight at Wang Heng.


    Facing Lin Tian''s almost murderous gaze, Wang Heng couldn''t help but shiver, then hurriedly smiled apologetically: "Junior brother Lin, don''t worry. How could I be that kind of person? "Since I said that the points are in my custody for now, I will naturally return them to their rightful owner!"


    "It''s good if that''s not the case ¡­" Lin Tian smiled faintly and returned to his previous smile.


    But Wang Heng was flabbergasted. This kind of harmless smile had fooled countless enemies!


    While he was thinking, Lin Tian pointed at the four people who fainted on the side and suddenly asked: "I wonder if Senior Martial Brother Wang is interested in earning more points with me in this training field?"


    "This can be considered as fulfilling my previous promise. I''ve said that I will give you a big gift, but, I don''t know if senior brother Wang still wants this big gift ¡­"


    "Of course!" Wang Heng''s interest was immediately piqued and he hurriedly nodded his head, but he didn''t seem to understand what Lin Tian meant by this great gift. He couldn''t help but ask Lin Tian what he meant by this.


    "I remember that Senior Wang said that as long as you don''t kill anyone in this training field, you can do whatever you want, right?"


    "Of course!" Wang Heng lightly nodded his head. Rather than saying that it was a sect rule, it was more accurate to say that it was a law of the Cloudsoaring sect. After all, the sect encouraged disciples to fight with each other on the training grounds.


    As long as they didn''t kill anyone, and were able to endanger the lives of other disciples, they could do anything they wanted.


    "Since that''s the case, and we''re all so lacking in points, why be so polite? The four people in front of me should also have a disciple order ¡­ " Lin Tian stared into Wang Heng''s eyes and said.


    Since Lin Tian had already said this, how could Wang Heng not understand. It was just that he looked at Lin Tian with a surprised face and said: "I didn''t think that junior brother Lin would have such an idea."


    Now, Wang Heng finally understood why Lin Tian had asked him to explain the rules of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, the points, and the disciple token.


    So he was fighting for points!


    However, Wang Heng did not feel anything about Lin Tian''s actions. Lin Tian being able to prepare for a rainy day was a testament to his determination. But just now, in the blink of an eye, one person defeated four outer court disciples.


    If such a monstrous genius were to join the Holy Sect of Soaring Clouds and become an official disciple, how terrible would that be?


    But putting aside Lin Tian, just what Lin Tian said just now made his heart move.


    Wang Heng had been in the Cloudsoaring sect for many years. He knew very well that if he had no connections or background, it would be difficult for him to stand up for the geniuses of the sect just by relying on his own cultivation!


    He, Wang Heng, was the cousin of the Unparalleled Cave Lord, and could be considered to be related. But even so, he had been in the Cloudsoaring sect for many years, and although he was considered an inner disciple, his strength was only at the level of an outer disciple.


    There was only one way to get out of this situation, and that was to get points. Points represented resources in the Holy Sect, and with resources for cultivation, all problems could be easily solved and a sliver of a chance to get out of it.


    Wang Heng naturally wanted to come out.


    So after Lin Tian said those words, Wang Heng almost did not think for long and agreed.


    Lin Tian''s strength was even more powerful than the inner court disciples. Since it was in accordance with the sect rules, in the exam grounds, why not earn a bit more points?


    Thinking of this, Wang Heng immediately laughed, "Junior brother Lin, isn''t it a little inappropriate for us to be like this ¡­?"


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and then seriously said: "It seems like, it doesn''t look too good ¡­ ¡­"


    "However, you must believe that what we have done is good!" Lin Tian arrogantly said: "Look at these outer sect disciples, their strengths are so weak yet they do not know how to advance. The reason we took away their points was to stimulate them and to let them work even harder in their cultivation! When their strength increases by leaps and bounds, they will still thank us! Isn''t it? "


    "..." Wang Heng was speechless, it seemed like this was the first time he had met Lin Tian.


    However, he liked the shamelessness and shamelessness on Lin Tian''s body. The most important thing was that he lacked points.


    Wang Heng removed the storage rings from the bodies of the four unconscious disciples. Then, he added all of their points to his disciple token.


    The points of these four disciples were not much. In total, they only had a little more than 1000 points. Although it was not comparable to Zhang Kun''s points, it was still not a small harvest.


    "Alright, time to go. In this vast training field, there are still a lot of points waiting to be collected!" Lin Tian looked at the points that fell onto Wang Heng''s disciple token and nodded his head in satisfaction. He brought Wang Heng and rushed into the depths of the stadium ¡­

 C422 Unholy hell snake

    However, thinking about it, they were right. After all, the Great Thousand Empire War happened once every ten years, and many outer sect disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect had already begun to stir up. Their goal was the students in the Great Thousand Empire War, and to the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, these students were no ordinary students.


    Therefore, all the disciples began to frantically search for the students that had entered the stadium.


    Wars could be seen everywhere.


    On this day, it had already been seven or eight days since Lin Tian and the others entered the training field. In these few days, with Wang Heng''s help, the two of them could be considered to have a perfect teamwork.


    A smelting trial token was 100 points, which was several thousands of points in total.


    As for those students, when facing Lin Tian, they didn''t have any sort of temper. They obediently handed over their points and no one dared to say anything.


    Occasionally there would be one or two seemingly disobedient students. Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. He would teach them a lesson when he needed to.


    After all, as long as no one died in this training ground, no one would care about the battles between the students.


    At first, Lin Tian had personally acted, but later on, he had Wang Heng personally act.


    After all, Wang Heng had nothing better to do ¡­


    This time, Lin Tian and Wang Heng were once again hidden under a tree.


    In the past seven or eight days, the two of them had practically cheated quite a few people by hiding under this tree. However, there were still people who came to this place.


    The reason was simple, this place was extremely secretive. Lin Tian had already guessed that there would be an ambush from the students, because when Lin Tian had just arrived, there would be an ambush from the students. It was just that the student''s strength was too weak and it fell into Lin Tian''s hands.


    After that, Lin Tian and that Wang Heng occupied the magpie nest and settled down here.


    As expected, from that day onwards, almost every day, students passed by this place. Of course, every student''s trial token eventually became Lin Tian''s and Wang Heng''s.


    Of course, Lin Tian and Wang Heng weren''t courteous at all even their trial token was kept in their pockets.


    At this time, Lin Tian and Wang Heng were hiding on top of a big tree. Using the tree''s lush branches and leaves, they hid their bodies. At this time, they were waiting for their prey.


    Not long after, a rustling sound could be heard from afar.


    Not only that, there were also the bellows, screams and sounds of fighting from the students.


    Lin Tian lightly winked at Wang Heng and then softly said: "Senior brother Wang, another prey has come. Prepare to take action."


    In the past few days, he had been commanded by Lin Tian. When Wang Heng made his move, Lin Tian would only make his move if he met an expert that Wang Heng could not deal with.


    For ordinary people, Lin Tian couldn''t even be bothered to make a move.


    As he spoke, Wang Heng had already adjusted his body to its peak state, ready to engage in battle at any time.


    At the same time, the sound from before was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that it was right in front of their eyes.


    The next moment, a lot of students rushed over from afar. Those students were running away like homeless dogs, as if there was something scary chasing after them.


    When Wang Heng saw those students and was about to attack, Lin Tian''s brows slightly creased. He then said: "Senior brother Wang, something doesn''t seem right. Don''t attack first ¡­"


    Before Lin Tian even finished speaking, he heard a "Roar!" Not far away, a roar of a demon beast could be heard.


    In the next moment, a colossus appeared in the distance. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at this place.


    "This is bad!" It''s the Nether Hell Snake! " At this moment, Wang Heng suddenly exclaimed.


    At this moment, the Netherworld Snake was flicking its tongue, looking extremely terrifying. It had two horns on its head, and its body was covered in scales. From the looks of it, it was also a large snake that was about to turn into a dragon!


    Lin Tian was looking at the large snake when Wang Heng suddenly pulled Lin Tian and said: "Junior brother Lin, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and go, this is the Nether Hell Snake, its strength is equivalent to a Life and Death Realm expert, a Rank 5 Demonic Beast! You and I together are no match for each other.


    He was extremely familiar with this trial ground. That Netherworld Snake was one of the great monsters of this trial ground, and normally, they would only stay in a cold pond not too far away from this place. But this time, he did not know how these idiotic students managed to provoke this monster, causing it to chase them out of the cold pond ¡­


    From then on, it also implicated Lin Tian and him. Otherwise, this place would be a good place to hide and rob, but now, it was all over.


    Moreover, if they were also discovered by that demonic beast, they wouldn''t be able to leave even if they wanted to!


    Wang Heng pulled Lin Tian and was about to leave, but he suddenly pulled and didn''t pull Lin Tian at all.


    Wang Heng stared blankly at Lin Tian.


    "Don''t worry, it''ll be fine." Lin Tian slightly shook his head, clearly not intending to leave.


    "Hmm?" Wang Heng was stunned. Was this Junior Martial Brother Lin crazy?


    But then he thought that if Lin Tian relied on his own strength, he would be able to deal with the Nether Hell Snake. He hurriedly advised: "Junior brother Lin, you can''t let the reckless courage go ¡­"


    "This is a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, it is comparable to a Life and Death Realm cultivator. That is the cave master, an ordinary deacon. You and I are only at the first level of the Astral Reaching Realm, how could we handle such a ferocious beast?"


    "Rank 5 beast, hehe ¡­" "It''s actually good food for the Ice Silkworm." Lin Tian did not listen to Wang Heng''s advice at all and stared unwaveringly at the Rank 5 demon beast, the Netherworld Snake.


    "It''s fine. Don''t worry. This thing is mine!" Lin Tian laughed loudly and then charged straight at the Netherworld Snake.


    The speed that Lin Tian charged out was extremely quick and violent. Wang Heng couldn''t stop him and Lin Tian had already charged out a long distance.


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, are you crazy!?" "He actually wants to provoke such a monster!" Behind Lin Tian, Wang Heng''s startled and angry roar sounded out.


    But Lin Tian turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, he rushed towards the Nether Hell Snake even faster.


    Speaking of which, it had been a long time since his Icy Silkworm, the divine beast, had encountered a Rank 5 demonic beast. This Rank 5 demonic beast was undoubtedly the best food for the divine beast, the Icy Silkworm.


    At this moment, he could already feel the throbbing on his left hand. It was from the Icy Silkworm. It was obvious that the Icy Silkworm also wanted to swallow the Nether Hell Snake ¡­


    Moreover, Lin Tian also had the Great Blood Coagulation Technique. This method could quickly increase his strength, but the only thing he needed was the blood of a demon beast, especially the blood of a high level demon beast.


    Therefore, Lin Tian naturally would not let go of this Rank 5 Demonic Beast ¡­ ¡­


    Blood energy was used for cultivation, and corpses were used as food for the icy silkworms.


    Actually, if he didn''t know that points were very important to a disciple, Lin Tian would have long since let Wang Heng bring him to sweep through the demonic beasts in the stadium.


    Lin Tian displayed the God Transforming Steps and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the Netherworld Snake.


    "Moo!" In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand released a large amount of light before piercing straight towards the Netherworld Snake.


    The powerful Dragon Scale Spear was extremely terrifying. At this time, Lin Tian had used his full strength and there was even the sound of a dragon roaring in the surroundings.


    Wang Heng looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. Was this kid crazy? He actually took the initiative to kill the Netherworld Snake?


    The gaze of the Nether Hell Snake was immediately attracted by Lin Tian, while the rest of the students who were originally escaping were all standing still in shock, taking in a deep breath. Just now, there were already quite a few students who died in the mouth of this giant snake ¡­


    They had originally thought that they would definitely die, but who would have thought that an expert would appear out of nowhere and help them out ¡­


    "Senior brother Wang, leave this beast to me. As for the remaining students, you should know what to do ¡­" Just as Wang Heng was hesitating and about to leave, Lin Tian''s voice suddenly came to his ears ¡­


    Wang Heng slightly frowned. This Lin Tian really thought he was unrivalled under the heavens. Listening to his meaning, was it 100% sure that he could kill this Netherworld Snake?


    What a joke!


    Do you really think that these ferocious beasts are made of mud?


    But at this moment, the Netherworld Snake suddenly let out a miserable wail. The next moment, Wang Heng saw a scene that he would never forget.


    Lin Tian''s spear, in that instant, pierced through the Nether Hell Snake''s body.


    "How is this possible!" Wang Heng exclaimed in disbelief.


    The other students also looked over. After a moment, they were all stunned.


    Everyone seemed to have been scared silly as they stared unwaveringly at the mid-air Lin Tian.


    It turned out that the Dragon Scale Spear in Lin Tian''s hand had suddenly turned into a monstrous dragon. In an instant, it pierced through the Netherworld Snake''s body.


    After the Dragon Scale Spear had been modified by the Celestial Mouse, a strand of the Mysterious Ten Thousand Year Iron and the Swelling Earth Divine Land was added into it. Not only was it incomparably sharp, but it was also the most resilient of the divine weapons, so in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the Netherworld Snake.


    However, although the Nether Hell Snake had been pierced through by Lin Tian''s spear, it hadn''t died yet.


    The worm of a hundred feet did not freeze even after death. The Netherworld Udumbara Snake had a large hole pierced through, instead, it gave off its vicious nature and once again fiercely pounced towards Lin Tian.


    "Evil creature, you still dare to be so arrogant?" Lin Tian coldly snorted and thrusted out his spear again. This time, it was aimed at the Nether Hell Snake''s head.


    "Fifth move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Destruction!" Lin Tian crazily roared out.


    He used the fifth form of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb, Destruction.


    The Dragon''s Tomb had a total of seven forms. One was annihilation, two were afterimages, three were god slayer, four were murder, and the fifth was death.


    The Heavenly Dragon Tomb is actually very strange, because if you want to practice the next move, you must master the first move to the Perfection Stage.


    For so many days, Lin Tian had been tempering his Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb technique, so he had long since comprehended the fifth style and died.


    It was a force that could destroy the world!

 C423 It turned out to be lin tian!

    In the next moment, the dragon scale spear landed on the Nether Hell Snake''s head, but at this moment, a change suddenly occurred. Lin Tian discovered that no matter how hard he tried, his dragon scale spear was unable to pierce into the Nether Hell Snake''s head.


    The Nether Hell Snake''s body was extremely sturdy, especially on its head. When it sensed the impending danger, the Nether Hell Snake had already firmly protected its head.


    At this moment, its head was covered in dense scales, making it look very terrifying.


    However, it was the scales that displayed their huge effects, blocking Lin Tian and the killing spear.


    But Lin Tian was not discouraged at all. If he killed the Nether Hell Snake so easily, that would be strange. No matter how one put it, this Nether Hell Snake was a Rank 5 Demonic Beast.


    "Berserk Mark, Berserk Force, Berserk Transformation!" In the next moment, streams of berserk energy surged up from the dragon scale spear. In the blink of an eye, the power of the dragon scale spear was more than a hundred times stronger than before. At this moment, the berserk energy charged crazily towards the head of the Netherworld Snake.


    In the blink of an eye, the head of the Netherworld Snake had actually been forcefully pierced a little by the Dragon Scale Spear.


    Fresh blood spurted out and power surged out, shaking everything in the surroundings.


    At this moment, all the trees had been shattered into pieces. Not only that, a strong aura swept through the surroundings like monstrous waves, turning everything into dust.


    Even the students were sent flying by the powerful energy wave.


    And at this time, the Netherworld Snake that had its head pierced by the dragon scale spear became even more manic, crazily roaring. The intense pain stimulated its fierceness.


    At this moment, it was wildly swaying its body, wanting to use its tail to throw Lin Tian out.


    But with how agile Lin Tian was, he used the God Transforming Steps and fought the Nether Hell Serpent in the air. The God Transforming Steps had unparalleled might, and while he was moving around, he was actually able to completely escape the attack of the Nether Hell Serpent''s tail.


    At the same time, a terrifying power gathered in his hands once again as he ruthlessly slapped the tail of the dragon scale spear. In the next moment, the dragon scale spear pierced into the head of the Netherworld Snake once again.


    At this moment, from the head of the Netherworld Udumbara Snake, a large amount of spirit blood sprayed out. A vicious and vicious aura spread in all directions.


    However, Lin Tian did not waste any of it. He directly stored it in his own Dragon Symbol Space.


    But right at this time, Lin Tian''s left hand suddenly throbbed.


    It was precisely the Divine Beast Iceworm, the Divine Beast Iceworm felt that Lin Tian''s speed in killing the Nether Hell Snake was too slow. At this moment, a thought suddenly came over, saying that it wanted to help Lin Tian kill the Nether Hell Snake.


    But Lin Tian slightly shook his head and similarly sent a thought over, rejecting the Icy Silkworm''s suggestion.


    He knew what the Ice Silkworm meant, but for fighting a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, it originally had endless benefits for Lin Tian. This was equivalent to fighting a Life and Death Stage expert, and it would greatly benefit his combat experience and cultivation growth later on. So Lin Tian naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.


    Although the Nether Hell Snake was strong, he was completely confident in killing it. Using the power of the Ice Silkworm, although he could easily kill the Nether Hell Snake, he did not have much help from Lin Tian.


    This had always been Lin Tian''s philosophy. If he could do it himself, he definitely wouldn''t let anyone else help him.


    In the path of martial arts, self-reliance was the only way to strengthen oneself.


    Lin Tian once again took out the dragon scale spear. The tip of the spear was pulled out, bringing with it a large amount of fresh blood, but in the next moment, Lin Tian once again raised the dragon scale spear and once again stabbed it into the Nether Hell Snake''s head.


    But this time, Lin Tian gathered all of the power in his body. He had already adjusted the strength of his body to its best.


    At this moment, the spear shot out like a fierce tiger or a strong wind. The Dragon Scale Spear shot out like a dragon, bringing with it a dazzling light. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the Nether Hell Snake''s head once again.


    This time, the spear that gathered all of Lin Tian''s strength finally had no resistance and pierced through the Nether Hell Snake''s head.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian once again activated the power of the Berserk Mark on the Dragon Scale Spear. This time, he directly exploded the head of the Nether Hell Snake!


    At the same time, the Netherworld Snake finally let out a miserable wail and weakly fell onto the ground. Its massive body smashed into the ground, emitting a loud rumbling sound that shook everything around it.


    This scene left everyone present dumbfounded!


    None of them thought that Lin Tian would actually have such strength!


    Unexpectedly, in less than ten moves, Lin Tian had directly killed the Netherworld Snake.


    "Is this kid even human?" Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.


    "He is Lin Tian!" At this time, a disciple below the stage suddenly exclaimed.


    Lin Tian was ranked first in the previous five rounds of the assessment, so many people knew of him.


    And the key point was that Lin Tian destroyed the exam pillar and the exam monument''s performance in the Blood Aura Entrance. It also made all the students that participated in the fifth round of the exam remember Lin Tian''s appearance.


    It could be said that out of all the students that had come to participate in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms, almost everyone recognized Lin Tian.


    "So it''s Lin Tian!" Although some of the other students had never seen Lin Tian''s true face, after hearing this name, they all understood.


    So it was this monster. No wonder it was able to kill this Netherworld Snake so easily!


    Wang Heng did not know about Lin Tian''s previous heroic actions. The reason why he thought Lin Tian''s strength was tyrannical was entirely because he came in contact with Lin Tian later on. After seeing Lin Tian''s performance, he was aware of it.


    However, when he heard the many students discussing Lin Tian, he suddenly realized that Lin Tian was far stronger than he had imagined.


    The Rank 5 demon beast lying on the ground, the Nether Hell Snake, was the best proof.


    One had to know that the Netherworld Snake was a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, and was comparable to a human cultivator in the Life and Death Realm.


    But in less than ten moves, he was killed by Lin Tian.


    Such strength, not to mention the outer and inner court disciples like them, even the peak masters and the true disciples of the elders of the various peaks were completely impossible to achieve. However, Lin Tian was able to do it.


    Lin Tian did not care about everyone''s thoughts. He did not hesitate and directly took out the Nether Hell Snake''s blood.


    The blood of this Netherworld Snake was an essential ingredient for his cultivation of the Great Art of Blood Solidification.


    As for the Netherworld Udumbara Snake''s corpse, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and threw it at the ice silkworm.


    The Mythical Beast, the Icy Silkworm, had just changed. According to Horned Demon, only the Nine Transformation of the Divine Silkworm could transform into the Nine-Colored Heaven Silkworm.


    That was an existence comparable to an Ancestral Dragon, so Lin Tian naturally had to quickly let the ice silkworm grow. At that time, it would be his big help ¡­

 C424 News from a rank 6 demonic beast

    At this point, Wang Heng no longer hesitated and directly attacked the other students.


    These people were all students who had participated in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms. Naturally, they had the trial token with them.


    Wang Heng naturally did not hold back. Moreover, Wang Heng''s strength was at the fifth level of the Star River Realm. It was extremely easy for him to fight against these students at the second or third level of the Star River Realm.


    Not long after, all the new students with bloody noses and swollen faces obediently handed over their trial token. Not a single one of them resisted.


    This was the rule of the stadium: a fist is hard enough, that''s the hard truth.


    Besides, there was nothing they could do about it, but they could accept it.


    Earlier, if it wasn''t for Lin Tian, they would have already been buried in the Nether Hell Snake''s stomach and would have already handed over their trial token. However, they had to protect their own lives. For them, this was already the best result.


    Of course they could tell that Lin Tian and Wang Heng were in the same group. Moreover, in the stadium, they were originally going to fight for the trial token with each other.


    The time it took for an incense stick to burn passed quickly, and a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded from the training field: "Heavenly Heart Nation, Heaven Le Nation, Heaven Rush Nation, Zhang Song, Li Wu, Ma Jianzhang... "Eliminate!"


    Only after hearing the voices that eliminated them did Lin Tian and Wang Heng leave.


    They had always been like this before, waiting until the time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed before they allowed the students to leave. This time was no exception.


    Lin Tian and Wang Heng left straight away. At this moment, Wang Heng was still blabbering on and on, "Junior brother Lin, I really did not expect that you would be so powerful. You look like you''re only at the third level of the Astral Reaching Realm. How could your strength be so terrifying?"


    Lin Tian faintly smiled and casually said a few words to cope with the situation. At this time, he was thinking of another very serious question.


    That was, they already had enough points and had been waiting for the opportunity to strike, but it wasn''t the only way. If they wanted to obtain more points, they had to take the initiative.


    Of course, an even more important question was the thoughts that the Netherworld Udumbara Snake had given him.


    He was thinking if he should give up first to obtain more points, and instead search for other demonic beasts within the testing field ¡­


    Because to Lin Tian, obtaining a Netherworld Udumbara Snake was more important than gaining 10,000 points.


    The points he obtained in the end would only be exchanged for cultivation resources, but to Lin Tian, the blood of the Nether Hell Snake was the best cultivation resource. He had the Great Blood Coagulation Technique and could refine this blood energy into spirit energy for himself to absorb.


    With the Blood Coagulation Grand Technique, the blood of these demon beasts was the target that Lin Tian wanted to pursue.


    Moreover, hunting demon beasts was an excellent food for the Ice Silkworm, a divine beast. It could also help the Ice Silkworm grow faster.


    This was killing two birds with one stone.


    Thinking to that, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and started to ask Wang Heng. He wanted to ask about the distribution of the monsters in the stadium.


    Hearing Lin Tian''s question, Wang Heng felt a bit strange, but he quickly said: "Junior brother Lin, do you still want to kill those Rank 5 Demonic Beasts?"


    "Yes." There was nothing to hide, so Lin Tian replied without hesitation.


    "This is not easy to deal with. In this training ground, there are many demonic beasts. However, Rank 5 Demonic beasts are relatively rare ¡­" Wang Heng explained, "Because the stadium here is for both inner and outer disciples, even if you are an inner disciple, your strength is still not equal. Even some of the strongest inner disciples are only around the seventh level of the Star River Realm.


    "So, in terms of safety, there are very few Rank 5 Demonic Beasts in this training field, and even if there are, they are extremely secretive, just like that Netherworld Snake." So, in terms of safety, there are very few Rank 5 Demonic Beasts in this training ground, and even if there are, they are extremely secretive, just like that Netherworld Snake.


    "So that''s how it is!" Lin Tian lightly nodded his head, but then said: "Then Senior Martial Brother Wang''s meaning is that there is still ¡­"


    "Of course, but those Rank 5 Demonic Beasts are extremely secretive and are hard to find. I only found these things after staying in the training field for a long time ¡­" Wang Heng replied, but seeing Lin Tian''s disappointed face, Wang Heng couldn''t help but say: "But although a Rank 5 Demonic Beast is hard to find, in this training ground, there is a Rank 6 Demonic Beast ¡­"


    "Rank 6 beast!" Lin Tian immediately became interested and stared at Wang Heng.


    Wang Heng was startled and then cried out, "Junior brother Lin, why are you so excited? Could it be that you want to find the Rank 6 Demonic Beast?"


    "Of course, there are Rank 6 Demonic Beasts that I have to look for!" Lin Tian lightly smiled as he looked at Wang Heng''s incredulous face. Lin Tian then explained: "These demon beasts are useful to me ¡­"


    "I''m not going!" Wang Heng immediately said to Lin Tian: "No matter what, I will not go ¡­ ¡­"


    "Rank 6 demon beasts are no small matter. If you are not careful, there is a risk that you will die. I do not want to die in this training ground ¡­"


    Wang Heng immediately shook his head, at most he would just fall out with Lin Tian, even if that was the case, at most he would just faint and faint, but he would not lose his life. Going to look for that Stage Six demon beast, that was simply courting death ¡­


    "Hmm?" Seeing how determined Wang Heng was, Lin Tian knew what he meant. He did not say much: "Okay, if you are not willing to look for it, then I will go, but you have to give me a map and then wait for me at a fixed location. Wait for me to come back ¡­"


    "That''s okay." Wang Heng nodded, but then said, "However, Junior brother Lin, you must prepare yourself in advance. I have only heard of this Rank 6 Demonic Beast. As for whether it is here or not, I am not sure ¡­"


    "Cut the crap, hurry up and draw me a map!" Lin Tian unhappily replied.


    Whether or not there was one, Lin Tian would have to take a look. After all, a Rank 6 Demonic Beast was comparable to a Human Cultivator at the Creation Realm. To Lin Tian, this was a huge temptation.


    He was not afraid of any demon beasts at all. After all, there was the ice silkworm here, and the grass in his soul also showed signs of waking up in the next few days ¡­


    At that time, no matter what, he had to capture that Rank 6 Demonic Beast!

 C425 The treasures in the training field!

    Before long, Wang Heng had finished drawing the map.


    Wang Heng gave a few more instructions before agreeing on a later location. Lin Tian then hurriedly left.


    "Rank 6 demon beast, I wonder what insanity this kid is?" Wang Heng looked at Lin Tian''s disappearing figure and could not help but mutter to himself.


    To be honest, today, he and Lin Tian coordinated quite well. It could already be said that he had seized 8000 points.


    If these 8000 points were in the Mission Hall, who knew how much cultivation resources would be exchanged for. However, Lin Tian still had to go look for the rank 6 demon beast.


    This is crazy!


    Wang Heng naturally could not understand Lin Tian because he did not know how important that rank 6 demon beast was to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and flew in the direction indicated by the map.


    When he was drawing the map, Wang Heng had also introduced the legendary rank 6 demon beast to Lin Tian. It was called the Green Wing Peng.


    Upon hearing the name Green Wing Peng, Lin Tian slightly froze. He immediately thought back to when the Icy Silkworm behind him was still an egg, back at the Heavenly Thunder City''s auction, when Lin Tian saw Gu Yan''er. Back then, Gu Yan''er had relied on the Green Roc''s egg to let Lin Tian heal her face and step onto the martial path.


    At that time, Lin Tian still remembered that he had asked Gu Yan''er where she had obtained the Green Roc''s egg.


    However, Gu Yan''er did not tell him.


    The rank 6 demonic beast in the training field was also called the Green Wing Peng. Could it be that there was some connection between the two?


    "Of course there''s a connection. The Blue Roc''s egg is the Blue Winged Peng''s egg ¡­" At this time, Hornless who was inside the Divine Palace spoke.


    "Does it really matter?" Lin Tian was astonished.


    "Of course, the Green Winged Peng is the descendant of the Green Wing Great Peng from ancient times, and it inherited a trace of the Green Wing Great Peng''s bloodline. However, after so many years, the power of the Green Wing Great Peng''s bloodline should have been extremely scarce ¡­" Horned Demon indifferently explained: "However, most of the Cyan Winged Peng''s demon beasts are single heirs, so the Blue Winged Peng''s egg, is naturally the Blue Winged Peng''s egg ¡­"


    "But why is it so coincidental?" Lin Tian was still in disbelief. If that was the case, then could it be that Gu Yan''er had some sort of secret relationship with the Lingxiao Sacred Sect?


    However, if Gu Yan''er was related to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, why would she be in a remote city like the Heavenly Thunder City?


    It didn''t make sense, but neither did it make sense.


    But Lin Tian immediately put this matter at the back of his mind, thinking about it was useless, when he sees the Green Winged Peng, it would be too late, after all the Green Wing Peng was already a king level demon beast, it could already materialize into a human form ¡­


    Rank six demon beasts were also known as king level demon beasts.


    This was because a sixth stage demonic beast was equivalent to a human martial arts cultivation at the Creation stage.


    The Manifestation stage could already be considered the king level. Therefore, the Manifestation stage was also called the king level. Only those above that could be considered the emperor level.


    Rank 6 Demonic Beasts were equivalent to Manifestation stage practitioners. Naturally, they were also known as king class Demonic Beasts.


    At this time, they had arrived at an empty area. Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and summoned out the Celestial Mouse in his right hand.


    When the Celestial Mouse was summoned by Lin Tian, he was clearly a little impatient: "Kid, if you''re fine, can you not keep summoning me? Do you think the ancestor is not busy? I''m very busy ¡­"


    However, before it could finish its words, the Celestial Mouse suddenly opened its nose and started to sniff: "Huh? What was this smell? Why does it seem like I smell the scent of a treasure? "


    At this moment, the Celestial Mouse had a face of doubt, but he did not say anything else.


    It had the Heaven''s Eyes and the nose of a living being. It could be said that the Celestial Mouse was the most sensitive to treasures and things like this.


    Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be called a Treasure Seeking Mouse.


    Lin Tian''s original intention was to let the Celestial Mouse come out and help him find the Green Winged Peng''s hiding place.


    However, he never expected that the Celestial Mouse would claim that this place was filled with the aura of a treasure as soon as he came out.


    This was somewhat strange.


    Could it be that some peerless treasure was hidden in this training field?


    The way Lin Tian looked at the Celestial Mouse immediately changed. The Celestial Mouse naturally saw Lin Tian''s gaze and shook his head as he sighed: "Brat, can you stop looking at the Old Ancestor like that? Let me tell you, Ancestor, my gender is strong, and I like females. You are not the Old Ancestor''s type!"


    "Cut the crap. You said just now that there was the aura of a treasure here?" Lin Tian had a treacherous smile on his face as he kept staring at the Celestial Mouse ¡­.


    Skypiercing Mouse felt a chill and quickly waved his hand, "Brat, your ears aren''t working. Tell me, which ear of yours heard the ancestor say that this place has the aura of a treasure? Patriarch, I was clearly saying that this place has the aura of a treasure! "


    "Treasure, treasure, aren''t they all the same?" Lin Tian faintly said, not caring in the slightest what the Celestial Mouse said.


    "What treasure is it?" Lin Tian asked again.


    Lin Tian was naturally not stupid. He understood very clearly that a treasure that could make the Celestial Mouse look at it with eyes, a dead end was not an ordinary treasure.


    "It should be an elixir ¡­" The Celestial Mouse said hesitantly, "It''s too far. I can''t smell it clearly ¡­"


    This time, the Celestial Mouse put down the matter in its hands. Instead, it followed the scent it smelled and began to walk forward.


    This was almost its instinct. Treasure Seeking Mice, Treasure Seeking Mice, they were born to find treasures.


    "No, it''s not that direction!" The Celestial Mouse took a few steps forward with Lin Tian before retreating.


    He had only taken a few steps before the fragrance disappeared.


    According to the judgement of the heavenly mouse, it should be a heavenly and earthly treasure.


    Furthermore, it should be about to mature, which is why it is emitting such a rich fragrance ¡­


    "Why, why do I seem to feel an aura that I''m familiar with?" The Celestial Mouse had a puzzled expression, "That aura, it should be an aura that only demon beasts of my generation possess ¡­"


    Hearing these words, Lin Tian suddenly shook and looked towards the Celestial Mouse. Could it be that the aura that came from the same generation as it was the Green Wing Peng that possessed a trace of the ancient Green Wing Great Peng''s bloodline?


    The Celestial Mouse could indeed feel the existence of the Green Wing Peng. Lin Tian was right.


    But without waiting for Lin Tian to think, that Celestial Mouse suddenly shouted: "I found it! Hahaha, I said it! How could it hide from the ancestor''s nose? Brat, prepare to make your move. The treasure is right here!"

    Underground, there were azure-winged roc and the Zhu Yan spirit fruit.


    "Underground?" Lin Tian''s eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment.


    "What, boy, you actually doubt my judgement?" The Celestial Mouse narrowed his eyes.


    "Then you said just now that you felt the aura of a demon beast at the same time as you. What is that?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "It should be the demonic beast that is protecting the spiritual herb ¡­" Skypiercing Mouse said with uncertainty.


    Lin Tian unhappily looked at the Celestial Mouse, then said: "If you can''t even say the name of the demon beast, then if I rashly go down, wouldn''t I die without a burial place?"


    "Tsk, you''re scared?" The Celestial Mouse squinted at Lin Tian, then said: "Little brat, can you act more like it? I''ve followed you for so long, how could I not know your strength?"


    Lin Tian was startled. After hearing what the Heavenly Mouse said, Lin Tian didn''t know how to reply.


    "What are you still standing there for? Attack! Ancestor, I am very busy ¡­" The Celestial Rat said again.


    At this moment, Lin Tian no longer hesitated. If the demon beast that protected the spirit fruit was really the Green Wing Peng, then it would save him a lot of time in his search.


    Lin Tian gathered the power in his body and heavily slammed his palm onto the ground.


    In the next moment, power surged and it directly shattered the place where Lin Tian stood.


    The earth trembled as a huge crevice immediately appeared under Lin Tian''s feet.


    In the instant that the earth cracked open, Lin Tian also smelled the extremely dense medicinal fragrance.


    If his guess was correct, it should be as the Celestial Mouse had said. There was something similar to a spirit fruit underground.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also felt that there seemed to be a terrifying aura underground. It could very possibly be the aura of the Cyan Winged Peng.


    At the same time, the ice silkworm on Lin Tian''s left hand started to get excited again.


    The second transformation of the ice silkworm already required a large amount of demonic beasts as food to provide it with power to support its second transformation.


    Lin Tian was currently at the third level of the Milky Way, so it was almost impossible for him to kill that Green Winged Peng. But the reason he dared to come down was because of the ice silkworm, and the small grass could also wake up at any time, and his current physical strength was already comparable to a demon beast at the Life and Death Realm. Even if his physical strength was not as strong as that of a king level demon beast, he was still not too far off.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately sped up.


    Not long after, Lin Tian and the Celestial Mouse followed the scent and arrived at the underground.


    He hadn''t thought that there would be a special place underground.


    Underground, there was actually a small secret cave.


    Above the secret cave, a faint glimmer could be seen. On the stone wall of the secret cave, there was actually a scarlet red light.


    "It''s the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit!" This time, before the Celestial Mouse could say anything, Horned Demon couldn''t help but cry out.


    "Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit?" Lin Tian slightly hesitated, then asked: "What''s the use?"


    "What is it for? It''s extremely useful!" Horned Demon immediately became excited and he kept saying, "Interesting, I didn''t think that there would be a Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit here. There''s no need to guess, the demonic beast protecting the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit must be that Green Wing Peng ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was even more astonished: "How can you be so sure? What if it isn''t?"


    "Impossible! This Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit is a treasure that can purify bloodlines!" Horned Demon indifferently said, "Who would come looking for a purifying spirit fruit for an ordinary demon beast?"


    "Only the Cyan Winged Peng has a trace of the Ancient Cyan Winged Peng''s bloodline power in its body, but it''s extremely rare, so it wants to use the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit to purify the bloodline power in its body ¡­"


    "This thing is naturally useful to that Green Winged Peng, but to you brat, it is also extremely useful. The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline in your body has already been absorbed by 10%, but it''s still not pure. This Vermillion Flame Spirit Fruit can help you absorb it, purify your bloodline. Boy, it can be said that once this Vermillion Flame Spirit Fruit is absorbed by you, it can almost increase your strength by several folds!"


    "Eh, it''s actually this terrifying?" After Lin Tian heard Horned Demon''s words, he couldn''t help but be somewhat shocked.


    "Of course, the power of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence is much more terrifying than you can imagine ¡­" Horned Demon said while urging Lin Tian: "Don''t just stand there. Hurry up and pluck the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit. The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit is already ripe ¡­."


    "But, where did that Greenwing Roc go?" Lin Tian looked around, but did not find any trace of the Green Wing Peng. The entire secret cave was empty, not even a shadow of the Green Wing Peng could be seen.


    "It''s very possible that he''s out looking for food. Now is the chance, hurry up and make your move!" Hornless urged again.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly attacked. With the Cyan Winged Peng not here, Lin Tian naturally could not miss out on such a good opportunity and he could not miss it. He leaped into the air and arrived beside the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit.


    The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit''s body carried an extremely hot power and was extremely terrifying. Lin Tian almost did not hesitate as he grabbed it and threw it into the Dragon Symbol space.


    But the moment Lin Tian took the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, the surrounding secret cave suddenly started to rapidly tremble. Not long after, a large piece of dirt and dust started to fall from the secret cave and the entire secret cave was about to collapse!


    "Quickly run! Once the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit is plucked, that Green Wing Peng can instantly and thoroughly feel it! Quickly run!" Horned Demon anxiously said.


    However, in the next moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the distant sky.


    "Roar!" Huge demon beast roars reverberated in the whole stadium.


    At this moment, all the students in the stadium, as well as the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, could all sense the terrifying roar of the demonic beast.


    At the same time, the cold wind outside the training grounds had also sensed the change in the training grounds.


    "What did these little bastards do in there?" Leng Feng seemed to have thought of something, and cursed in a low voice. However, he did not dare to be negligent, and charged straight towards the Soaring Cloud Hall of Lingxiao Peak.


    And at this time, above the training field, the earth trembled. Accompanied by the furious roar of the Green Wing Peng, all the demonic beasts that were lurking within the training field were alarmed.


    In the next moment, the angry roar of a demon beast resounded again.


    This time, all the Demonic Beasts moved quickly. As if they had received an order, all the Demonic Beasts attacked in a frenzy and quickly converged at the center of the training field.


    "What happened?" The other students in the training field, as well as the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, were all mumbling to themselves.


    Demonic beasts surged and the earth trembled. In just a few breaths of time, the entire stadium was in chaos.


    Each and every student, disciple, were frantically searching for a place to hide themselves. Not only were the students who had entered the training grounds for the first time confused, even the disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect were somewhat shocked and at a loss.


    "Could this be ¡­ a beast tide?" Some people were guessing.


    However, immediately after, someone shook his head. In all the history of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, this training field had always been open, but no one had ever heard of a beast tide ¡­


    However, what was the cause of all this?

 C427 A dilemma

    "Reporting to Great Elder, the master of the Cold Wind Cave requests an audience!"


    Right at this moment, within the Cloud Palace, a student in charge of messenger reported to the Peak Masters of the various peaks in the Cloud Palace.


    "Leng Feng, let him in!" Right at this moment, Great Elder Ling Wuji''s voice came out from Ling Xiao Palace.


    "Great Elder, something has happened ¡­" The moment Leng Feng entered, he did not say anything unnecessary and directly told Ling Wuji about what happened in the training field.


    "What happened?" The other Peak Masters all cast their gazes over.


    Previously, the Great Elder did not show the scene in the training field on the stone wall. Thus, they knew nothing about the situation in the training field.


    Now that he heard what Leng Feng said, he was naturally surprised.


    "First Elder, Peak Masters, if your subordinate is not mistaken, someone must have alarmed the King Stage Demonic Beast in the training field!" Leng Feng voiced out his guess.


    As the head of the training grounds, as well as the head of the punishment cave, Leng Feng was naturally very clear about what exactly was happening in the training grounds.


    Thus, when Leng Feng felt the changes in the training field, he already had an answer in his heart ¡­


    "Is that true?" Ling Wuyou immediately asked.


    "Peak Master, this subordinate would definitely not dare to joke around with this matter ¡­" Leng Feng replied with a bitter smile.


    "That''s impossible ¡­" At the side, Ling Tianji also spoke up, "We all know that there is only one king level demonic beast in the training field, the Green Wing Peng. However, that Green Wing Peng has already reached an agreement with the Great Elder, and it will definitely not interfere with the trial of our disciples or act against our disciples.


    Everyone present knew that there was a king level demonic beast in the training field, and its cultivation was comparable to a human Manifestation stage practitioner.


    Many years ago, this Green Wing Peng had killed a few disciples of the Skycloud Sect. However, the Great Elder who had just entered the Emperor Stage, Ling Wuji, personally went forward and suppressed the Green Wing Peng.


    It was also because of this that the Greenwing Roc had reached an agreement with the Great Elder. The location of the Greenwing Roc was designated as the forbidden area of the training grounds, and disciples were not allowed to go there. As for the Greenwing Roc, they were also not allowed to attack disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    Moreover, later on, the Great Elder had ordered for them not to say that there were Rank 6 Demonic Beasts in the stadium. Thus, some disciples knew that it was only a legend; no one dared to be sure.


    But this time, how could someone go to the territory of the Green Wing Peng and even alarm it?


    This was completely impossible!


    "If the Peak Masters do not believe me, you can follow me!" Seeing that the others did not believe what he said, Leng Feng could not help but become anxious.


    The other Peak Masters'' gazes immediately turned to Ling Wuji.


    Ling Wuji nodded slightly. "Let''s go. I felt a strong throbbing just now. Someone angered that Green Wing Peng ¡­"


    After he said that, everybody turned pale with fright. They all looked at Ling Wuji in disbelief.


    There was actually someone who angered that Azure Wing Peng, wasn''t this just courting death?


    One had to know that the Greenwing Roc was a king level demonic beast. Currently, the strongest genius disciple in the training field was only at the ninth level of the Astral Reaching Realm.


    Without even a Life and Death Realm expert, how could he fight against a king level demon beast?


    However, since Ling Wuji said so, it must be true.


    No one dared to hesitate, directly rushing towards the stadium.


    At the same time, Lin Tian was undoubtedly in the eye of the storm.


    The instant the Green Wing Peng saw Lin Tian pluck the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, it felt it. It was extremely angry. The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit had taken root in a thousand years, blossomed once every thousand years, and bore fruit once every thousand years.


    For a full three thousand years, it had waited for three thousand years. It hadn''t expected that it would be intercepted by a human that came to this trial ground!


    "Kill!" At this moment, there was only one thought in the Green Wing Peng''s mind.


    The Greenwing Roc was a sixth level demonic beast, a king level demonic beast. As its name implied, it was the king of demonic beasts.


    Therefore, once the Azure Wing Peng became angry, it would immediately attract all the other demon beasts.


    This caused the entire training field to be filled with waves of demonic beasts.


    At this moment, a huge number of demonic beasts were galloping around the training field.


    Before long, with the Green Wing Peng as the center, there were beasts everywhere.


    Without a doubt, Lin Tian was naturally trapped here by the endless number of demon beasts and was unable to take even half a step out.


    When Lin Tian returned to the ground from the crevice, the surrounding countless demon beasts surrounded him. The Green Wing Peng was currently circling in the air, letting out a shrill and angry wail.


    The aura on Lin Tian''s body had already been completely locked onto by the Green Wing Peng ¡­


    At the same time, in a shrubbery thirty miles away from this place, Wang Heng was also trembling. However, he was hiding in the shrubbery, not daring to move at all.


    Wang Heng mumbled to himself, "Could it be that that kid really found that Green Wing Peng?"


    However, when he suddenly saw the endless waves of demonic beasts swarming towards one place, he immediately realized another problem.


    "Crap, I forgot to tell that kid that this is a forbidden area!" Wang Heng suddenly thought of a place that he had forgotten to mark out for Lin Tian.


    That is the forbidden ground of this training field, and any student is forbidden from going there. If they were to go there and were to be discovered, they would be expelled from the sect...


    However, from the looks of it, these endless beasts were going to that forbidden land.


    Wang Heng was immediately puzzled. "That kid, could he have really gone to that area ¡­"


    "What should we do?" At this time, Lin Tian had no other ideas.


    At this moment, there were demon beasts everywhere. There was no lack of demon beasts among them, and there were no lack of fourth or fifth stage demon beasts.


    Furthermore, there was a Green Wing Peng hovering in the sky. That was a beast king ¡­


    Even though Lin Tian''s methods were heaven defying and his cards were endless, when facing these endless demon beasts, he was still a bit scared.


    "Nonsense. You took away the Verdant Winged Peng''s Spiritual Fruit that only matured after waiting for several thousand years. Do you think that the Azure Wing Peng will let you go?" At this moment, the Celestial Mouse spoke.


    "It''s not like there''s no other way ¡­" Inside the Divine Palace, the Horned Demon hesitated for a bit and then said to Lin Tian.


    "There''s a way?" Lin Tian was stunned.


    "I can feel that someone is coming here ¡­" Horned Demon replied indifferently.


    "Who is it?"


    "The Peak Master of the Ninth Peak, who is also the higher ups of the Virtuous Cloud Sect ¡­" Horned Demon replied, "Brat, you''ve stirred up such a huge battle formation. The outside world should have already sensed it and they won''t sit idly by. Don''t take action now and watch how they help you out ¡­"


    The moment Horned Demon''s voice faded, not far away, on the training field, Leng Feng and the Peak Master of the Ninth Peak had already arrived.


    "It really is the Azure Wing Peng ¡­" Ling Wuyou said in surprise.


    The other Peak Masters were also looking at this grand occasion on the training field and also felt that it was a bit inconceivable.


    "However, who was it that triggered this Green Wing Peng?" Ling Tian had a puzzled expression as he looked towards the center of the demonic beast.


    "It''s that brat called Lin Tian!" At this time, the Alchemy Furnace Lord Ling Shen Dan suddenly called out.


    Before this, they, the masters of the Ninth Peak, had personally witnessed Lin Tian killing Zhang Kun to resolve their own crisis. They had also seen the iron man whose neck had been pierced through by Lin Tian''s spear.


    It could be said that their impression of this Lin Tian could be considered to be extremely deep.


    He hadn''t thought that at this time, in the stadium, the one who would cause such a commotion was actually Lin Tian.


    "This kid is really a scourge. He would feel uncomfortable every day if he doesn''t cause trouble ¡­" At this time, Ling Yue, the Peak Master of the Spirit Mountain Peak, spoke softly.


    Great Elder Ling Wuji did not say anything at this moment. He had already guessed why the Green Wing Peng was so angry.


    It must be because of the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit ¡­


    But like this, it would be even more troublesome. If this brat harvested Zhu Yan''s spirit fruit, it would be useless for him to hand it over. After all, the Azure Winged Peng was a demon beast, and there was no reason to say it.


    But how could Ling Wuji allow Lin Tian to be killed just like that?


    If this matter were to spread out, wouldn''t it be the same as humiliating the entire Holy Sect, where not even a single disciple would be able to protect themselves?


    More importantly, his talent was astonishing, and his strength and state of mind were both exceptional.


    It could be said that this was a top genius that only appeared once in a thousand years.


    In terms of talent, he was even more powerful than that person.


    Otherwise, Ling Wuji would not sit by and watch Lin Tian be so presumptuous, killing Zhang Kun, and even lying about being Ling Wuji''s last disciple.


    If Lin Tian didn''t have such outstanding talent, Ling Wuji would have killed him with a single palm.


    But the key point was that Lin Tian was too outstanding, so outstanding that Ling Wuji couldn''t help but praise him.


    Now, Ling Wuji was in a dilemma.


    If he did not hand over this kid, the Green Wing Peng would not let this go easily. There would definitely be a huge battle ¡­


    Ling Wuji pondered for a long time, but still couldn''t come up with a good idea.

 C428 Aggressive

    Right now, the only difficulty lay in Lin Tian''s life and death.


    If it was said that Lin Tian''s life and death Ling Wuji could not care less, then this problem could be easily solved.


    But right now, Ling Wuji wanted to protect Lin Tian''s life, which was why he was in such a dilemma.


    "Ling Wuji, do you remember what you told me back then?" At this moment, the Green Winged Peng in the sky also felt Ling Wuji''s arrival.


    Since a beast king could transform into a human, it was only natural for it to speak human language.


    "Green Roc King, there are still some variables with regards to this matter. Don''t be angry yet, speak properly ¡­" Ling Wuji also spoke loudly. His voice spread across the entire training field.


    "Speak properly?" The Green Winged Peng suddenly laughed out wildly, "How do you want me to explain this to you!"


    "Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, I''ve waited for an entire three thousand years! Three thousand years, do you know what three thousand years of waiting is like?" The Green Winged Peng suddenly roared: "Ling Wuji, your current strength is only at the first level of the King''s Realm. I have already stepped into the ninth level of the sixth step, although I am still a little weaker than you, but I am of the Spirit Demon race, and you are a human. This disadvantage, in terms of your physical body, you think I am afraid of you? Today, even if you activate the sect protecting array, I will not be afraid. There will be no room for discussion on this matter, so stop putting on an act. If you do not satisfy me today, I will let your Lingxiao Saint Sect become a river of blood! "


    The Green Winged Peng was simply furious, it would naturally not listen to Ling Wuji''s nonsense. Lin Tian had taken away its Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, he was definitely going to die.


    Ling Wuji frowned as he did not expect this beast to advance so fast. In just a few hundred years time, it had reached the fourth rank of the sixth step?


    Rank 6 or 9 was equivalent to a human at the ninth level of the Manifestation stage. It was indeed only a sliver weaker than Ling Wuji. However, as the Green Winged Peng had said, it was a Demonic Beast and possessed a trace of the ancient Great Peng''s bloodline. Naturally, it was not afraid of Ling Wuji.


    However, what the Green Wing Peng said was belittling Ling Wuji.


    Ling Wuji''s methods were not something that an animal could compare with, even if this beast''s body was invincible.


    Not only that, the place they were in, was also within the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    The Cloudsoaring Saint Sect had their own sect protecting array. With the support of this array, it wasn''t impossible for them to kill this beast.


    But there was another problem.


    That was the current Green Wing Peng. It had summoned all of the demonic beasts in the training field. Killing these demonic beasts would inevitably lead to a great battle.


    But right now, Lin Tian was coldly looking at everything on the stage. He was looking at Ling Wuji''s decision, as well as the reactions of the others.


    He could tell that Ling Wuji was not willing to give Lin Tian up.


    However, the Green Wing Peng was very aggressive.


    He slightly smiled, then said: "That beast above, listen carefully, I will take responsibility for this matter. You don''t need to let everyone else die for me, the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit is in my hands, if you have the ability then come and get it ¡­"


    "Kid, you have successfully angered me. Good, I will definitely let you taste the consequences of offending me. I will grind your bones into ashes, and hack you into pieces!" That Green Pengs was completely enraged by Lin Tian''s b * tch, and was about to crazily attack Lin Tian.


    "Azure Roc King, you dare!" At this moment, Ling Wuji''s shout came from the distance.


    Ling Wuji naturally could not watch as the Green Wing Peng directly attacked Lin Tian.


    Thus, when the Green Roc King was about to attack, Ling Wuji spoke out to stop him.


    But the Green Wing Peng''s Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was in Lin Tian''s hands. How could he let Lin Tian go just like that? He didn''t pay any attention to Ling Wuji and directly rushed towards Lin Tian.


    But when the Green Wing Peng arrived in front of Lin Tian, it suddenly stopped its movement and didn''t take another step forward.


    The reason was very simple, it was because Lin Tian had already raised the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit in his hand high up.


    "One more step and I''ll destroy it!" Lin Tian did not retreat at all, and stared intently at the Green Wing Peng.


    "You''re courting death!" The Greenwing Roc was currently furious to the extreme, but it didn''t dare to gamble because no matter what, it lost. It would absolutely not use the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit as a joke.


    After all, this Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was its mingmen.


    It immediately stopped on the spot.


    "Azure Roc King!" At the same time, Ling Wuji also ran over and blocked in front of Lin Tian.


    "This time, we should discuss the conditions properly ¡­" Ling Wuji still did not want to break off all decorum with the Green Roc King. Once they broke out, the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect would move out to fight these demon beasts.


    Ling Wuji had not seen this from far away.


    "Let this brat return the Zhu Yan spirit fruit to me and hand him over to me. For this matter, I can let bygones be bygones and am willing to peacefully coexist with the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. Moreover, the agreement between us earlier, was still considered ¡­" The Green Wing Peng tried its best to suppress the anger in his heart, and told Ling Wuji his conditions.


    "I can return the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit to you, but this kid is my closing disciple and I absolutely cannot give it to you. You can change the conditions and other conditions, as long as they are not too excessive, I can accept them ¡­" Ling Wuji pondered for a moment before speaking to the Green Roc King.


    "Oh, so that means there''s nothing left to talk about?" The Green Wing Peng immediately laughed coldly, "I''m telling you, Ling Wuji, you''re not giving me face!"


    "This brat must be handed over to me. Otherwise, there will be nothing to talk about. At worst, I''ll just call out all the demon beasts and fight to the death with your sect!"


    The conditions of the Green Winged Peng were extremely harsh, and the key point was that it was very aggressive. This placed Ling Wuji in a dilemma. He was most afraid that the Green Winged Peng would fall out with him.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly said from behind him: "Great Elder, you still don''t understand. This Green Wing Peng wants my life, but compared to my life, it wants this Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit more!"


    Lin Tian had secretly said those words. Ling Wuji immediately turned his head, looked at Lin Tian, and asked: "What do you want to say?"


    "I can hand it over, but this Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit absolutely cannot fall into the hands of this beast!" Lin Tian softly said.


    "Why is that?" Ling Wuji was also puzzled. He thought that the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was an external object and he could give it to him, but Lin Tian had to protect it.


    "This beast is already at the ninth level of the sixth step. I really don''t know. If this Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit were to fall into its hands, the consequences would likely be unimaginable ¡­" Lin Tian''s tone was solemn, his meaning clear.

 C429 Fish-death net

    "Hmm?" At the beginning, Ling Wuji did not seem to understand what Lin Tian meant.


    But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood what Lin Tian said.


    This, this was a huge problem!


    Ling Wuji, who suddenly thought of something, had his head filled with big men. He had always been thinking about how to protect Lin Tian, but he did not think of another more important question.


    This Greenwing Roc was already at the ninth level of the sixth step. Its cultivation was equivalent to the ninth level of the Manifestation Realm, human martial arts cultivation.


    He, Ling Wuji, had only just reached the Emperor Stage, and was only at the first level of the Emperor Realm.


    However, even if Ling Wuji was slightly stronger than that Green Wing Peng, he did not dare to say that he was absolutely sure that he could kill that Green Wing Peng directly because the Green Wing Peng had the body of a demon beast.


    If he didn''t use the power of the sect protecting array, the result of the clash between Ling Wuji and the Green Winged Peng would be hard to say.


    In other words, if Ling Wuji had no chance of winning against the Green Winged Peng at his peak, what would happen if he consumed the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit?


    That was even more unimaginable.


    One had to know, if this Azure Wing Peng consumed the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, it was very possible that its strength would increase by a level.


    At the same time, he had also reached the Emperor Stage. By then, this Ling Wuji might not even be a match for that Green Wing Peng ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian also opened his mouth and said, "This logic, I believe I don''t need to say it anymore. This Greenwing Roc is from the ancient times, and the descendant of the Greenwing Roc has a trace of the bloodline of the great roc, so this Scarlet Flame Spirit Fruit has a huge purification power from the bloodline. If we wait until later, let this Green Wing Roc purify the bloodline''s power, then at that time, the growth of this Green Wing Roc will not be small at all ¡­"


    "If an animal were to gain the upper hand and even suppress the Great Elder, I don''t know if this would be considered a blessing or a curse for the Holy Sect!" When Lin Tian said this, Ling Wuji''s face immediately changed.


    If he could not hear anything, then he would no longer be qualified to control the large Cloudsoaring sect.


    "So, this is all for the sake of our Glory Sect ¡­" Lin Tian continued.


    Ling Wuji finally took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Green Roc King, looks like after all these years of nurturing, you have forgotten how I suppressed you back then ¡­"


    "Since I can suppress you once, I can suppress you a second time!" When Ling Wuji said this, he was obviously going to break off all relations with the Green Wing Peng.


    This time, it no longer hesitated and pounced towards Ling Wuji, "Ling Wuji, you are playing with fire, fine, today I will fight it out with your Lingxiao Saint Sect!"


    As he spoke, the Green Winged Peng suddenly let out a furious roar.


    Following the furious roar, the surrounding Demonic Beasts roared in unison. Ferocious light radiated in all directions, as though they wanted to kill everyone.


    Ling Wuji did not waste his breath, and said to the Peak Masters: "Don''t just stand there, Ling Tian, you send my order to all the masters of the Life and Death Realm in the sect." Especially those Successor Disciples and Core Disciples, after nurturing their forces for a long period of time, once in a while, this time, it will be up to their performance ¡­ "


    After Ling Tian left in a hurry, the other Peak Masters did not hesitate and rushed towards the Demonic Beasts before them, blasting a Demonic Beast with a palm strike.


    These Peak Masters were all Manifestation stage practitioners. Therefore, it was extremely easy for them to kill these Demonic Beasts.


    Ling Wuji''s intention was obvious. He told Ling Tian to send a message to the Life and Death Realm cultivators.


    Most of these Demonic Beasts were below Rank 5 and there were very few Rank 5 Demonic Beasts. A Life and Death Stage expert could deal with Rank 5 Demonic Beasts. Therefore, facing so many Demonic Beasts, they naturally had to find the disciples to test their cultivation.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    How did it become a fight between Ling Wuji and the Green Wing Peng?


    His goal, was precisely to go for the Green Winged Peng itself. This Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, could be said to be an unexpected harvest.


    But now, if this Ling Wuji was able to kill that Green Wing Peng, then wouldn''t he be bringing water with a basket in front of him?


    At that time, the Azure Winged Peng would no longer be his ¡­


    "No, this won''t do ¡­" Lin Tian immediately thought of a way.


    "Brat, the barrier that covers the training field has already been broken. Head south, head south, you have the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit in your hands, this is the fate gate of the Green Wing Peng. So, once you leave, it will follow you ¡­" Just at this moment, the Horned Demon in the Divine Manor once again gave Lin Tian his idea.


    "South?" Lin Tian was slightly startled. He couldn''t help but ask: "Why do you want to go that way?"


    "Over there, there seems to be an aura that makes my heart palpitate. Anyways, let''s go over there. Remember, we have to be fast ¡­" The Horned Demon urged Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head, without any hesitation he looked at Ling Wuji and the Green Winged Peng who were fighting, and suddenly said: "I, Lin Tian Ming, will remember Great Elder''s kindness in saving my life, but this time, in the end, it is all because of Lin Tian, Lin Tian absolutely cannot implicate the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect, if not how much face will he have to continue to join the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect?"


    "Come on, you beast. The thing you want is in my hands. If you have the ability, come and take it!" Saying that, Lin Tian''s body crazily flew far away.


    When he used the God Transforming Steps, his speed was simply too fast.


    Furthermore, the key point was that Lin Tian had caught him off guard. Ling Wuji and the Green Winged Peng were both a little dazed.


    But by the time the Green Wing Peng came back to its senses, Lin Tian was already far away.


    But like this, the Greenwing Roc no longer had any thoughts of continuing to fight. Right now, all he could think about was how to tear Lin Tian, that brat, into pieces!


    The Green Roc King did not hesitate and left the battle. With a slight tremble of his long wings, he rushed straight towards Lin Tian.


    The Green Wing Peng''s speed was extremely fast, escaping from the battle and chasing after Lin Tian, almost instantly completing it, while Ling Wuji, who was behind it, could no longer catch up. The Green Winged Peng had wings, he did not have them, so at this moment, he could only watch as the Green Wing Peng chased after Lin Tian.


    But Lin Tian''s words just now had completely moved Ling Wuji.


    A student who was not yet from the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect could actually think of the sect in such a way. This kind of student, no matter what, Ling Wuji had to protect his life!

 C430 Navy tide forbidden area

    Thinking about this, Ling Wuji did not hesitate at all and directly ordered everyone.


    "All the elders and disciples of the Skycloud Sect, attack with all you have. We must destroy this demon beast disaster."


    After giving the order to the crowd, Ling Wuji did not hesitate to rush towards the direction where Lin Tian and the demon beast had just left to.


    At the same time, Lin Tian rushed all the way and almost did not waste too much time. In a short moment, he rushed out of the training ground.


    Lin Tian did not doubt the path Horned Demon had given him.


    Besides, there was nowhere else to go.


    With wings on his back, the Blue-Winged Peng''s speed was naturally incomparably fast.


    In just a few short breaths of time, it was comparable to Lin Tian running for a long time.


    But just as the Green Wing Peng was about to catch up to Lin Tian, Lin Tian would turn around and shoot out a shot.


    The power of one spear temporarily slowed down the Green Wing Peng''s speed, which also caused Lin Tian''s speed to increase greatly.


    Moreover, behind the Green Wing Peng, there was still Ling Wuji who was in hot pursuit.


    Ling Wuji''s heart was filled with unhappiness. The main reason was because he felt guilty towards Lin Tian.


    He felt that all of this was his fault in the end.


    Earlier, he shouldn''t have hesitated, but he should have attacked and killed this Green Wing Peng.


    Who would have thought that he would become more and more powerful, and even become more and more powerful. However, not a single disciple who hadn''t joined the Virtuous Cloud Sect was able to see through him!


    Finally, after exiting the training field, there was an enormous forest shrouded in black fog.


    Just as he arrived in front of the forest, Lin Tian felt his heart palpitate. It was as if there was something in the forest that made him feel uneasy.


    "Presumably, this is the place where even the Horned Demon has felt a sliver of fear ¡­" Lin Tian thought in his heart, but he didn''t hesitate and entered the fog forest.


    "There''s finally a place to hide!" Lin Tian, who had entered the Misty Forest, let out a light breath. Just now, in the stadium, the Cyan Winged Peng was in the air, so it was natural that it could clearly see everything below.


    However, at this moment, the forest was filled with a black mist, making it much more convenient to hide.


    After Lin Tian entered the fog forest, the Green Wing Peng that followed closely behind did not hesitate at all and directly followed Lin Tian into the fog forest.


    The black mist completely engulfed the man and the monster, and they were no longer able to see what was going on inside.


    At the same time, Ling Wuji followed Lin Tian and the Green Wing Roc to the front of the Misty Forest.


    However, Ling Wuji didn''t enter the fog forest. Instead, he stopped in front of the fog forest.


    "Crap, Lin Tian and that Green Winged Peng both entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Area!" Ling Wuji''s face did not look too good. He had never thought that Lin Tian and the Green Winged Peng would both be so fast. He hurriedly rushed forward, but he did not stop Lin Tian in front of him.


    Actually, just now when Lin Tian was running towards the south, Ling Wuji felt that something was wrong. However, when he shouted from behind, Lin Tian did not seem to hear him and he still entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land ¡­


    At the same time, Ling Wuyou and the others who were behind him also arrived.


    They too stopped in front of the black fog.


    "Great Elder, they ¡­ they actually entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land?" Ling Wuyou could not help but ask.


    "Yes." Ling Wuji sighed. He did not expect such an outcome either.


    "What do we do now?" Ling Wuyou asked worriedly.


    The Navy Tide Forbidden Area was extremely familiar to these Elders of the Cloudsoaring sect. The reason it was called the Forbidden Area was naturally because it prohibited all people from entering.


    Honestly speaking, they too did not know what was inside the Navy Tide Forbidden Land. But the only thing they knew was that there were disciples, elders, and even sect heads who had entered the forbidden land before.


    Unfortunately, no one else had come out.


    This was also the reason why they didn''t dare to step foot into the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    "Go back and take charge of the situation. I will wait here ¡­" Ling Wuji pondered for a moment and then gave his order.


    "Great Elder, if Lin Tian Zhen enters the Navy Tide Forbidden Land and is unable to leave, then why waste time?" At this time, Ling Yuefeng''s Peak Master, Ling Yue, couldn''t help but ask.


    "No, I will wait here. I have made up my mind. You don''t have to say anything. Go back and preside over the rest of the battle ¡­" Ling Wuji interrupted Ling Yue coldly. Then, he glanced at the crowd and urged them to leave quickly.


    Great Elder, you better not act foolishly. When the Sect Leader is in seclusion, the burden of our Lingxiao Sacred Sect is on you alone. That Lin Tian, I respect him as a man as well, but he has the ten thousand years of history of our Lingxiao Sacred Sect on your shoulders. Ling Wuyou didn''t waste any time talking. He told Ling Wuji the details and left with the others.


    After everyone had left, Ling Wuji took a deep look at the forbidden grounds of Navy Tide. Unfortunately, the forbidden grounds of Navy Tide were covered in a black mist and the things inside could not be clearly seen.


    "Lin Tian, Lin Tian, I''m looking forward to seeing you surprise me again!" Ling Wuji let out a low sigh and then sat down cross-legged in front of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, waiting for Lin Tian''s return.


    "There''s something wrong here!" Lin Tian, who had just entered this place, suddenly felt that something wasn''t right.


    He felt a burst of cold Qi unceasingly drilling through his body. This Qi made Lin Tian''s blood and energy become cold.


    Not only that, the cold Qi still wanted to completely freeze Lin Tian''s body, but Lin Tian''s whirlpool continued to activate, bringing out a wave of hot power. Only then did the cold qi leave his body, and he continued to resist the corrosion of the cold qi outside ¡­


    But not long after, Lin Tian once again felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    He felt that he seemed to have aged ¡­


    To be more accurate, he felt that he had become weaker.


    Yes, it was because he was weak.


    He could feel that every step he took was extremely difficult. He could not muster up any energy in his body, nor could he feel any strength in his body.


    Moreover, very quickly, Lin Tian discovered that his arms and face were covered in wrinkles ¡­ ¡­


    "What''s going on?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but cry out in surprise, then he asked his Divine Palace''s Horned Demon.


    To be honest, he had no idea what was going on.


    "Boy, something is wrong with this fog. Hold your breath!" At this time, the Horned Demon in the Divine Manor also felt that something was wrong with Lin Tian and he opened his mouth to speak.


    Lin Tian did as he was told. In the next moment, he felt the wrinkles on his body begin to increase at a slower rate.


    "Useful." Lin Tian immediately understood. Everything was caused by the black fog!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian tried his best to hold his breath. The whirlpool in his dantian started to rapidly circulate, isolating the black mist.


    Not long after, Lin Tian felt the feeling of weakness from before suddenly weaken quite a bit.


    At the same time, the Greenwing Roc that had entered the black fog suddenly shouted, "Kid, where are you? Come out and fight me to the death. I''ll kill you!"


    The voice of this Green Wing Peng sounded very powerful, as though it was not affected by the black fog at all ¡­


    "You green-haired beast, I, your grandfather, am here!" Lin Tian roared at the Green Wing Peng.


    Without others interfering, Lin Tian was naturally not afraid of the Green Wing Peng. The reason he had led the Green Wing Peng to this place was because he did not want others to know of the Icy Silkworm''s existence.


    The existence of the Ice Silkworm, after all, was too ostentatious. A man was not guilty, and having treasure was a crime. This logic, Lin Tian clearly understood it.


    But right now in the black fog forest, Lin Tian could use any method he wanted.


    Today was the day that the green-haired beast would die!

 C431 The icy silkworms mighty spirit!

    Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, that Azure Wing Peng was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.


    A dignified beast king, in Lin Tian''s mouth, had actually become a green-furred beast?


    "I must tear your mouth to shreds, pull out your heart, and swallow it whole!" The Green Wing Peng furiously roared, its voice loud and clear.


    "Come here!" Lin Tian laughed disdainfully at the Green Wing Peng as he communicated with the Icy Jade Silkworm on his left hand.


    The power of the Mythical Beast, Icy Silkworm, is extremely terrifying. Therefore, it is now time for it to make a move ¡­


    "Kill!" The Green Wing Peng immediately rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    This time, Lin Tian did not hide. He stood where he was, waiting for the azure-winged roc.


    "Haha, boy, let''s see how you will escape this time!" Seeing that Lin Tian did not continue escaping, the Green Winged Peng let out a sigh of relief in its heart. Not only had Lin Tian taken away its Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, more importantly, he had played with it several times. It was also a dignified beast king and after being toyed with like this, it had long wished that it could rip apart Lin Tian to vent the hatred in its heart.


    "Green fur Beast King, come, come quickly ¡­" Lin Tian didn''t seem to see the anger of the Greenwing Roc. At this moment, it was as if he was madly stimulating the nerves of the Greenwing Roc.


    "Die for me!" The Green Wing Peng suddenly flapped its wings and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Lin Tian. Its enormous beast claws directly swiped at Lin Tian.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian displayed the pinnacle of the God Transforming Steps and instantly disappeared from where he stood.


    As he stood still in the distance, Lin Tian patted the ice silkworm on his left hand, and the ice silkworm from the divine beast rushed toward the azure winged roc in the blink of an eye.


    However, after the Icy Jade Silkworm drilled out, the air in the entire forest seemed to have dropped by dozens of degrees.


    The black mist seemed to have been frozen and lost its previous speed.


    Not only that, the icy power had also passed through the entire black fog, spreading out to the outside world.


    Ling Wuji, who was standing guard outside the forest, felt a surge of cold energy rushing into his body like a needle.


    The frightful power of the ice caused even his breathing to become sluggish.


    However, the tremendous Yuan Power within his body immediately provided endless heat that dispersed the chilliness.


    However, Ling Wuji couldn''t help but stand up and look towards the black fog forest. He seemed to want to see what was going on in the fog forest.


    However, even though his hearing and eyesight were astonishing, he was still unable to see through the black mist.


    For a moment, he wanted to rush into the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, to go in and see what was going on. He wanted to see the battle between Lin Tian and the Green Wing Peng in the black fog forest.


    He knew that he was definitely not allowed to enter the Navy Tide Forbidden Area. Once he entered, only death awaited him ¡­


    In the confrontation between Lin Tian and the Green Winged Peng, the moment the ice silkworm came out, the Green Wing Peng immediately felt a trace of familiarity.


    Not only that, it also felt a suppression coming from the depths of its bloodline.


    It caused its entire body to tremble uncontrollably.


    It had no idea what kind of creature this silkworm was. It only knew that it had almost no power to fight back in front of the silkworm.


    It was a feeling of powerlessness that came from the depths of his soul.


    However, it still felt a sense of familiarity, as though the Icy Jade Silkworm in front of it had something to do with it ¡­


    However, at this time, the Icy Jade Silkworm completely ignored them.


    The ice silkworm had just changed and did not have the slightest consciousness. It only knew that this large green bird in front of it was the food it especially wanted.


    Eat it, eat it!


    The Icy Jade Silkworm couldn''t hold itself back any longer.


    The next moment, a sharp scream came out of its mouth.


    This shout, in an instant, pierced through all obstructions. It penetrated through the entire black fog and travelled to every corner of the entire Cloudsoaring sect.


    To the human ear, this voice was just an ordinary roar of a demon beast.


    However, when this voice fell into the ears of all the demon beasts, it formed an incomparably huge storm.


    In the next moment, the entire Skycloud Sect was completely shocked.


    At this moment, in the training field, the demonic beasts that were in the midst of a fierce battle with the disciples and elders of the Cloudsoaring sect, had suddenly, in an instant, completely kneeled on the ground after hearing this voice.


    They could no longer stand. It was as if there was some kind of power pulling on their legs, causing them to involuntarily kneel down.


    Not only that, their entire bodies were also violently trembling, and they had completely lost any ability to fight.


    Surrender and obedience were the only thoughts running through their minds.


    "How could this be?" A disciple couldn''t feel his head, but he didn''t hesitate to pierce through the body of the demon beast. However, the demon beast was still kneeling on the ground, motionless.


    Not long after, he collapsed with a loud bang. When his body fell, he maintained the posture of kneeling.


    "Un, it''s that simple?" Some people looked at the change in surprise.


    But soon after, everyone went through a series of trials and trials. These demon beasts had completely lost the will to fight.


    In such a huge training field, the demonic beasts were reduced at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. However, no one knew why this strange scene had occurred.


    At the same time, within the black fog forest in the forbidden area of the Navy Tide Temple, after hearing that sharp cry, the Azure Wing Peng instantly lost its will to fight. In its mind, there was only one thought ¡ª run as far away as possible.


    It didn''t know what this Icy Jade Silkworm in front of its eyes was, but it knew that it was definitely not a match for this little thing.


    The Green Winged Peng was, after all, a beast king, so it still had the ability to move on its own. However, just as it was about to fly away, the ice silkworm suddenly caught up to the Green Winged Peng.


    This time, the ice silkworm was completely angered. It let out a roar, and then it opened its mouth and spat out a streak of ice-cold energy.


    At a speed visible to the naked eye, that cold energy swiftly transformed into a gigantic ice pillar. In the blink of an eye, it completely wrapped around that Green Wing Peng.


    The body of the Green Wing Peng was instantly wrapped in layers of thick ice. In the blink of an eye, it formed an ice pillar.


    The ice silkworm was obviously very angry at this moment. It rushed in front of the Green Winged Peng and chattered something to it.


    The Icy Jade Silkworm chirped as if it was berating something. At this moment, the eyes of the Green Wing Peng were constantly moving and its eyes were filled with fear.


    Not long after, as if the ice silkworm had reprimanded him enough, it stopped talking. This time, it opened its mouth and sucked. Something strange happened.


    The Green Winged Peng that was originally an ice pillar had now completely turned into liquid and was absorbed into the stomach of the ice silkworm.


    The ice silkworm''s stomach temporarily enlarged, but soon returned to its previous size.


    "This little thing''s digestion ability is that strong?" Lin Tian was slightly startled before he could not help but say.


    The attacking power of the Ice Silkworm could be said to be unquestionable. Lin Tian had already seen it before.


    Of course, the main reason was still because the little thing was facing the Green Winged Peng. It was a demon beast, not a human.


    If it was a human, then this little thing might not have such a powerful attack power.


    For demon beasts, it is either a bloodline suppression or the power of frost coming out of its mouth that is impossible for a demon beast to break.


    As a result, even though the Green Winged Peng was a sixth stage ninth stage demon beast, just a hair away from becoming the Demon Emperor, it was still slaughtered by the Icy Jade Silkworm in the end!


    "Are you full?" Lin Tian patted the Ice Silkworm. At this time, he discovered that the Ice Silkworm was larger than before.


    "This little thing is about to transform into a second ¡­" At this time, Hornless also spoke up from within the Divine Palace.


    The little thing intimately rubbed against Lin Tian''s palm and then turned into a shadow, once again imprinting itself on Lin Tian''s left hand.

 C432 Deep within the forbidden land of navy tide

    After taking care of the azure-winged roc, the entire black misty forest instantly turned desolate.


    "Do you want to go out now?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask Horned Demon.


    For some reason, Lin Tian more or less felt the strangeness of this place. However, there seemed to be a restless voice in his heart, constantly encouraging Lin Tian to continue exploring the black fog forest in front of him.


    "Have you also sensed that there is something different within this forest?" Hornless asked Lin Tian.


    "Hmm, I seem to sense that there seems to be something in my body that is urging me to explore this area ¡­" Lin Tian replied.


    Yes, I feel the same way too..." "However, boy, the aura inside is extremely strange. You must have sensed it as well. If you want to continue going deeper, you must think it through ¡­


    "¡­" Lin Tian immediately became silent, but after a moment of silence, he steeled his heart.


    In fact, he didn''t know why he felt a throbbing at the bottom of his heart, making him want to explore this place to find out what exactly was there.


    However, after thinking about it carefully, he thought that Ling Wuji must still be waiting outside. Therefore, if he walked out, there would be an explanation.


    Now that he had the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit in his possession, he might as well find a place here to refine the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit and then go out.


    After all, the Zhu Yan spirit fruit couldn''t be left for too long, otherwise, the medicinal strength would gradually dissipate.


    Such a treasure was naturally not something that could be treated like an ordinary spirit fruit.


    When Lin Tian thought of this, he no longer hesitated and directly walked into the depths of the forest.


    At this moment, under the Icy Jade Silkworm''s godly might, the battle in the entire training field was nearing its end.


    All the demonic beasts had been taken care of by the disciples of the Skycloud Sect.


    Even in the end, those elders simply didn''t take any action, silently watching those disciples, and beheaded all the demon beasts.


    The dust settled.


    The elders from the various peaks had all returned to their secluded cultivation.


    As for the remaining outer sect disciples and the countless servants, they began their final work.


    "Grand Elder, that kid still hasn''t moved?" At this time, in front of the Black Mist Forest in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, the Peak Masters were gathered together once more.


    Ling Wuyou was the first to speak, first he reported the results to the Great Clan Elder, then he asked.


    "Un, there was some movement just now, but it''s a pity that the corrosiveness of the black fog is too strong, I don''t dare to rashly investigate ¡­" Ling Wuji sighed and replied.


    "Grand Elder, the ancient texts of our Glory Sect have recorded that no one has ever been able to walk out of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land ¡­" The Peak Master of the Tian Ji Summit, Ling Tian had spoken as well.


    Before, he did not know that Lin Tian had entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, but now that he knew, he did not have much hope.


    This wasn''t because of anything else, but because the Navy Tide Forbidden Land was too frightening.


    This black mist had a very strong corrosive force, and the deeper you go in, the more corrosive it becomes.


    Since ancient times, there had been many people who had insulted the students of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land and failed to return alive.


    Of course, there were also some near death elders who didn''t believe in evil. They also hoped to find a way to extend their lives in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    However, the result was the same. None of them came back.


    The most terrifying thing was that there was a sect head who had entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land right before his death.


    He also did not manage to walk out. One must know that the Sect Leader''s strength was at the ninth level of the Emperor Profound Realm.


    He was just a hair away from becoming a Saint. Even so, he was still unable to return alive.


    Thus, from then on, the Navy Tide Forbidden Area became a forbidden area. The Cloudsoaring Sacred Sect strictly ordered that no disciple or elder was allowed to take even half a step into this forbidden area!


    The other Peak Masters also tried to persuade Ling Wuji, as they understood Ling Wuji''s feelings. After all, Ling Wuji had always thought highly of Lin Tian, and the fact that Lin Tian single-handedly lured away the Green Wing Peng had touched everyone.


    He was a hero, knowing full well that he couldn''t do it.


    Of course, they didn''t think that the Azure Roc King would still be able to walk out.


    There were no signs of life in Black Mist Forest, which was the Vast Tide Forbidden Land. The only thing that could be seen was the lush greenery.


    Living beings can''t enter, there is only one ending to enter, and that is death ¡­


    "Everyone, there''s no need to speak anymore. After the disturbance by the Green Roc King, this time''s Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms will temporarily come to an end. You all still have many things to do when you return ¡­" Ling Wuji turned around and looked at the crowd. Then, he said, "I will temporarily guard this place for half a month. If that kid still hasn''t come back after half a month, then that means he has already died inside. There is no need to wait any longer."


    After Ling Wuji said this, all the Peak Masters did not continue any further and left one by one.


    Ling Wuji looked at the forest and said gently, "Kid, I think you can give me a surprise. Please don''t let me down ¡­"


    The deeper Lin Tian went, the more he felt the pressure on his body increase.


    Especially the suppression from the blood qi. The fog here was constantly corroding Lin Tian''s blood qi, so Lin Tian had no choice but to activate the whirlpool within his body at all times to allow it to maintain a huge circulation speed.


    In this way, it eased some of Lin Tian''s pressure.


    "What exactly is this black fog?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    In front of him, the black mist was getting denser and denser, until it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.


    Lin Tian currently sat cross-legged and took out a piece of Extreme Violet Jade and completely refined the spiritual energy within it. Only then did he recover the spiritual energy that he had just used up.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s heart moved as he summoned the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse from the Dragon Symbol Space.


    The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had a change compared to before, its face looked very lifelike, as if it was in a deep sleep.


    He could wake up at any moment.


    The reason why he summoned the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was to see if the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse could absorb the mist in the black fog forest ¡­


    It was a pity that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse did not absorb a single thread of the surrounding black fog.


    Lin Tian could not help but feel discouraged. He originally thought that this fog would be good nourishment for the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, but now it seems that it was not so ¡­.

 C433 A conspiracy cheated?

    However, Lin Tian was not discouraged. He just wanted to test what exactly this mist was. Lin Tian did not know and Horned Demon did not recognize it.


    The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was unable to absorb these things, this was within his expectations.


    But thinking of this, Lin Tian suddenly summoned the Celestial Mouse on his right hand.


    "Eh? Where is this?" As soon as the Celestial Mouse appeared, he felt that something wasn''t right.


    However, in the next moment, the Celestial Mouse''s fur started to rot. Before long, such a situation appeared throughout its entire body.


    "Holy shit, what the hell is this thing?" The Celestial Mouse immediately turned back into a soul imprint and returned to Lin Tian''s right hand.


    However, not long after, the Celestial Mouse once again appeared.


    However, this time, it wore a suit of armor, wrapping itself tightly within.


    However, no one knew what kind of material the armor was made of. This time, the black mist no longer posed any threat to the Celestial Mouse.


    "Kid, why did you come to such a damned place?" The Celestial Mouse looked around and could not help but complain to Lin Tian.


    "Originally, I wanted to ask you if you know what this black mist is, but from the looks of it, you don''t know either ¡­" Lin Tian shook his head and was just about to let the Celestial Mouse go back when the Celestial Mouse suddenly sniffed the black fog. In the next moment, the Celestial Mouse''s face changed.


    "Kid, quickly leave, quickly leave!" The Celestial Mouse''s tone was filled with fear. In the next moment, it spat out a mouthful of blood essence. This time, its blood essence was filled with a rotting black stench. Even the color of its blood had turned jet-black.


    "What''s the matter with you?" Lin Tian was also shocked and hurriedly asked.


    This Celestial Mouse was a great ally of his. He absolutely could not allow any mishap to happen here.


    Tong Tian Mouse did not have time to say anything, and directly took out a fruit from his pocket and swallowed it. Only then did he breathe heavily, and then did he roar at Lin Tian Yun: "Brat, you are f * cking courting death. Can you not bring the ancestor along? The ancestor still wants to live for a few more years!"


    "What is going on?" Lin Tian''s face was gloomy as he asked, he had no idea what happened.


    "This is f * cking demonic energy. What are you doing here? Don''t you know that the only way to get here is to die?" The Celestial Mouse unhappily looked at Lin Tian and then roared at him.


    "Demonic Qi, what exactly is that?" Lin Tian was shocked and asked.


    "You don''t even dare to touch this thing, do you think you, a descendant of the dragon clan, can touch it?" The Celestial Mouse''s tone immediately turned serious.


    "You know that I am a descendant of the dragon clan?" Lin Tian was even more astonished. He had always thought that the Heavenly Mouse didn''t know, but he didn''t think that the Heavenly Mouse would actually know.


    "Hmph. Do you really think I''ve lived all those years for nothing?" The Celestial Mouse snorted coldly, "The Nine-Colored Sky Silkworm, Coiling Dragon Soul Glyph, and even the trace of dragon blood on your body, I presume that you still have the purest dragon blood essence. Moreover, the dragon blood that left this drop of blood is definitely not an ordinary dragon, the whirlpool in your dantian is undoubtedly the dragon''s dantian, and even your meridian only has one ¡­"


    "Right, there is a fake dragon living in your manor right ¡­"


    The Heavenly Mouse spoke as if it knew all of the secrets. It actually told Lin Tian all of his secrets ¡­


    "You know all about it?" Lin Tian was even more surprised, but he didn''t have any other thoughts. After all, the Celestial Mouse had signed a contract with him before.


    Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for this Celestial Mouse to be leaked to others. One had to know that he and the Celestial Mouse were on the same level of glory, on the same level of mutual destruction.


    Only, he was a little shocked that this Celestial Mouse knew so much ¡­


    "What''s so strange about that? The Celestial Mouse has the Sky Eye, Spirit Nose, Spirit Ear, and being able to see through all of your secrets is nothing surprising. Otherwise, do you think that it would agree to the contract you signed with the Celestial Mouse?" Just at this moment, the hornless people within the Divine Manor woke up from their dreams with a single word.


    "Alright, stop the discussion ¡­" Right at this moment, that Celestial Mouse suddenly spoke up. "Brat, Ancestor, I would like to remind you that the fake dragon in your Divine Palace is unreliable. Don''t be so foolish as to listen to its commands!"


    The meaning behind his words was extremely obvious.


    Only, Lin Tian did not think that the Heavenly Mouse was targeting the Horned Demon!


    But to be honest, Lin Tian couldn''t completely doubt the character. No matter what the character did, it could be said that the character did something to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian did not doubt it.


    Because the reason why Lin Tian could have such a day was all because of the Horned Demon.


    So, after the Tong Tian Mouse said this, Lin Tian Deng immediately looked at him coldly: "What, trying to sow discord? But I''m afraid you''ll be disappointed. Let me choose between you and Horned Demon. I''ll choose Horned Demon! "


    "Hehe, little brat, this is all the patriarch has to say, do you believe that one day, you will be sold, just like that Earth Fiend Yin Corpse of yours, becoming a puppet. By then, it will be too late to regret!" The Celestial Mouse coldly snorted. He was also quite infuriated.


    "Tongtian, you''re thinking too much. I definitely do not have any intention of harming this brat ¡­" Just at this time, Horned Demon''s voice rang out again, but this time, it wasn''t just Lin Tian who could hear it.


    The Celestial Mouse could also hear it.


    "I thought you were going to be a coward. What, you can''t hold it in anymore?" The Celestial Mouse sarcastically said, "You kept saying that you didn''t intend to harm him, so why did you make him come here?"


    "You are also a dragon. I''m afraid you know what these things are the most. If you pretend that you don''t know then how long you will have to hide it from him?" The Celestial Mouse''s tone was extremely cold as he fired off questions in rapid succession.


    "What? Do you know what these things are?" At this time, Lin Tian also understood, but he immediately felt a bucket of cold water pour over him, letting him feel a chill in his heart ¡­ ¡­


    He never thought that Horned Demon would actually know what this thing was!


    However, Hornless had always said that he didn''t know either.


    Moreover, in the beginning, it was Horned Demon that attracted the attention of the Azure Roc King!


    Why did the Horned Demon lie to him, and why did it let him come here?


    "Tongtian, boy, I understand your feelings, but what I want to say is, you must come here, and the things here are also the responsibilities you must face ¡­" At this time, Horned Demon suddenly sighed and said to Lin Tian and the Celestial Mouse.

 C434 Heaven chosen person?

    "Kid, now that you believe it, have you given up?" At this time, the Celestial Mouse coldly snorted at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s expression was complex as he looked at the Celestial Mouse, then he asked in a hoarse voice: "What exactly is the responsibility?"


    When Horned Demon said this, it was undoubtedly to admit that he had deceived Lin Tian.


    Of course, Lin Tian was already prepared in his heart and wasn''t too surprised.


    It''s just that I''m a little disappointed ¡­


    After all, from the start, Lin Tian had been schemed against by the Horned Demons.


    Horned Demon had lured Lin Tian here one step at a time. As for what the black fog was, it wasn''t that important.


    "Brat, I know what you are thinking. However, this matter is a responsibility that you must bear ¡­" Horned Demon sighed once again. In fact, he didn''t want to say anything at first, but now he had to wait and delay. But now that he had been exposed, it was no longer a good time to hide it.


    In any case, Lin Tian would find out sooner or later. Now he only knew about it in advance.


    "You should also be clear in your heart that you are the descendant of the Ancestral Dragon..." Horned Demon sighed and slowly approached.


    Lin Tian silently nodded his head and quietly listened to Horned Demon''s story.


    "Sometimes, you might feel that something is strange. It is as if every step you take is predetermined by someone. From the beginning, it is as if you are in a predetermined fate ¡­" Hornless said indifferently.


    "From the moment you obtained the Dragon Transformation Token, to the moment you awakened the Dragon Clan''s bloodline, to the moment you inherited the Dragon Bloodline, to the moment you opened the Dragon Clan''s Divine Palace, to the moment you trained in the Dragon Tribe''s Secret Spirit Techniques, to the moment you entered the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, to the moment you discovered the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm ¡­"


    "All in all, your fate, cultivation, good fortune, and your strength all seem to have been decided by someone. You are the puppet and the executor ¡­"


    Saying that, Lin Tian''s face changed.


    That''s right, Hornless was talking about Lin Tian''s confusion.


    Lin Tian had this kind of feeling from the moment he had obtained the Dragon Transformation Token.


    He felt that everything about him was moving along a predetermined path.


    At the beginning, Lin Tian had thought of his parents.


    This was because the Dragonize Medallion was left behind by his father, Lin Feng.


    But later on, when Lin Tian began to understand more and more about martial cultivation, Lin Tian Deng gave up on this thought.


    Until now, his father was at most a Saint realm expert.


    Saint realm, in the eyes of mortals, was already an incredible existence. Even among martial cultivators, they were still considered top experts.


    However, in the entire Sky Dragon Continent, Lin Feng was not the only existence at the Saint realm.


    There were definitely many experts of the Saint realm and above.


    But even so, so what?


    Compared to the dragon race, saints were nothing special. Even if they were at the God Realm, they couldn''t compare to the dragon race!


    Therefore, Lin Feng naturally could not calculate this well.


    Afterwards, Lin Tian guessed that it was the Ancestral Dragon, but the Ancestral Dragon had long since been annihilated. To be able to leave behind a drop of blood essence was already incredible, so how could he calculate Lin Tian millions of years later?


    When Lin Tian was in a daze, he had also asked the Horned Demon about this, but the Horned Demon was vague on what to say and never told Lin Tian anything.


    It only said that at the right time, it would naturally tell Lin Tian everything.


    But when, exactly, would it be the right time?


    Who would have thought that Horned Demon would finally tell them everything?


    Horned Demon continued, "Actually, your feelings are correct. Your fate has been decided from the very beginning ¡­"


    "Your Dragonize Medallion was inherited from your father, Lin Feng." Hornless said indifferently, "I have seen your father before. It is a pity that he is not one of the inheritors of our Dragon clan ¡­"


    "Just a little bit more, just a little bit more. Thus, our hope rests on you ¡­" Hornless seemed to be lost in his memories.


    But Lin Tian was completely confused as he listened. He didn''t know what Hornless was saying.


    On the other hand, the Celestial Mouse seemed to know something, and said speechlessly, "So, this boy is the inheritor of the dragon race? the chosen one from the heaven? "


    "Yes." Horned Demon nodded and shot a meaningful glance at the Celestial Mouse. "I didn''t expect that you actually knew of the person chosen in the heaven''s competition. It looks like you already had a plan?"


    The Celestial Mouse did not deny it and only softly said: "Anyway, I have already signed a contract with this kid. There is no point in speaking any further. It''s better to continue speaking ¡­"


    "That''s right, heaven chosen person. Lin Tian, you are my Dragon Clan''s heaven chosen person!" Hornless Rock said in an earth-shattering manner.


    Seeing Lin Tian''s face filled with disbelief, Hornless continued: "Do you still remember when I asked you about the origin of Sky Dragon Continent?"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted and asked: "Are you talking about the legend of the Ancestral Dragon creating the world and the human race?"


    "That''s not a legend, that''s true!" Hornless corrected again.


    Lin Tian was truly in disbelief this time.


    The people of the Sky Dragon Continent thought that this was only a legend. However, they didn''t expect that the legend was real.


    "So, actually, on the Sky Dragon Continent, the humans, demons, and barbarians are all descendants of the Ancestral Dragon. In a sense, these three races all have the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon ¡­"


    "Hiss hiss." Lin Tian''s knowledge had been completely overturned.


    All the three races had the blood of the dragon in their veins.


    Furthermore, they were all the bloodline of an Ancestral Dragon!


    Lin Tian still hadn''t recovered from the shock, but Hornless continued to say: "It''s inconceivable right?"


    "However, every word I say is true. You must know why there are people with great aptitude, but there are some with ordinary aptitude ¡­"


    "The most fundamental reason is the power of the ancestral dragon''s bloodline. How much of it has been awakened ¡­" Horned Demon continued, "Although all of them have inherited the blood essence of their ancestors, there are some that are extremely thin. After so many years, the God Power within their bloodlines has long been submerged in the endless river of time."


    "However, there are some who are able to unleash the boundless might of the Dragon Blood God in their future generations. Naturally, their talents are outstanding ¡­"


    "And in the trillions of years that the Ancestral Dragon disappeared, any human that awakened a powerful bloodline would be called a heaven chosen person ¡­"


    "And before you, there are already countless people who have obtained the inheritance of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence. But, it is a pity that they have all failed ¡­"


    Hornless continued.


    But Lin Tian became more and more confused. He even more did not understand what Horned Demon was saying.


    Why did it fail? What failed, and how did so many heaven chosen people appear?


    All of this, Lin Tian did not understand.


    Horned Demon slightly smiled and said, "I know you still have a lot of questions. How about this, we''ll start from the beginning until you understand them all!"

 C435 Mystique of the dragon race two in one

    "Kid, do you know the origin of Sky Dragon Continent?" Horned Demon asked indifferently.


    "The Ancestral Dragon established the heaven and earth, established the universe. From then on, the Sky Dragon Continent was created!" This was common knowledge, something that everyone on the Sky Dragon Continent knew.


    "But I want to tell you, is this really just a legend?" Horned Demon lightly sighed and said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "Hmm, how is this possible?" Lin Tian shouted in disbelief.


    Earlier, Lin Tian had said that the legend of the Ancestral Dragon splitting apart the heavens and earth was true, but in the blink of an eye, he had actually said that it was fake?


    "It''s not that it''s fake, but that the sequence of location isn''t right ¡­" Horned Demon seemed to know the question in Lin Tian''s heart and answered.


    "Actually, at the very beginning, I don''t know when, but the entire world was nothing but nothingness. There was no life, and there was nothing else."


    "And that era, is also known as the Primal Chaos Era, also known as the prehistoric era!"


    Horned Demon revealed a piece of secret information that almost no one knew about.


    Even the Celestial Mouse opened his eyes wide, quietly listening to the story of the Horned Demon.


    "In the Primal Chaos Era, the entire universe was a vast wasteland and was a body without a consciousness. After an unknown amount of time, a body without a consciousness was finally born, and one of the bodies began to absorb the power of the stars, sticking to the dust and gradually transforming, finally turning into a piece of land, the Sky Dragon Continent. That body of consciousness, is the Sky Dragon Continent''s spirit, Yan."


    "So the Sky Dragon Continent was the first to be formed?" Lin Tian shouted in disbelief.


    "That''s right. To be more precise, it should not be called Sky Dragon Continent. At that time, the dragon race had not appeared yet ¡­" Horned Demon corrected Lin Tian''s mistake and then continued, "Actually, the most accurate name should be Sky Spill Continent."


    "The meaning of ''derivation'' is the true meaning. The Sky Spill Continent is the true source for everything, the beginning of everything!"


    "It can be said that with the formation of the Sky Spill Continent, everything will have a rule, and a consciousness."


    "This is where the era of the Age began!"


    "Era?" Lin Tian spoke in astonishment. He also didn''t know anything about this.


    This wasn''t because Lin Tian didn''t know anything, but because what Horned Demon said was a secret that made people feel that it was inconceivable.


    Even the Celestial Mouse stared at the horned beast in a daze, finding it hard to believe.


    "Yes, it''s the era of the era. The era is divided into different periods of time. Every era has 100 million years!"


    "And in the first era after the Sky Spill Continent was formed, an Ancestral Dragon was born within the Sky Spill Continent. From then on, it would open up the world and establish chaos." Horned Demon explained, "And because of this, the first era is also known as the Ancestral Dragon era. Therefore, the legend on the Sky Dragon Continent that the Ancestral Dragon established the world and established the universe is completely correct without any mistakes ¡­"


    "Of course, it is also because of the birth of the Ancestral Dragon that the entire Sky Spill Continent was called the Sky Dragon Continent. Moreover, this name has been preserved until now ¡­"


    "No wonder ¡­" Lin Tian nodded his head lightly. Only now did he understand the reason.


    "Time continued to pass. It is the second era. In this era, the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon were born, and then the Ancestral Dragon fell. This era is also known as the Nine Dragons Era!"


    Lin Tian lightly nodded his head. This could be considered to be a new understanding of these years.


    "However, the variable is something that has existed since the Nine Dragons Era ¡­" Horned Demon suddenly sighed and said again.


    "Actually, in the era of the Ancestral Dragons, the variables were already in their infancy ¡­"


    "Variable? What variable?" Lin Tian couldn''t understand at all.


    Even the Celestial Mouse had a puzzled expression. He didn''t know what Horned Demon was talking about, and perhaps the Celestial Rat would be able to understand what he was saying.


    But after that, even the Celestial Mouse became a bit confused.


    "The variable is another consciousness. Actually, the Ancestral Dragon is also a consciousness. When the consciousness gains the ability to awaken, it will become a real entity. The Ancestral Dragon was the first to awaken ¡­"


    "As the Ancestral Dragon is incomparably powerful, once it was born, it would be able to suppress all the variables in the world ¡­"


    "It is also because of this that this variable was unable to turn into a climate, causing me to fall completely into a deep sleep ¡­"


    "However, after the birth of the ninth son of the Ancestral Dragon, with the creation of the world and the establishment of the universe, the God Power would be completely used up. Before the ninth child could grow, he would no longer have any power to suppress the growth of that variable ¡­"


    "That variable, what exactly is it?" Lin Tian finally couldn''t help but ask.


    "That variable is called Erosion! Erosion was almost the same period as the Ancestral Dragon, but the Ancestral Dragon awakened first, suppressing the power of Erosion. At the end of the Nine Dragons Era, the Erosion finally awakened, becoming a nightmare for all species in the world! "


    "Erosion?" Lin Tian asked in shock: "What kind of thing is that?"


    "To be more accurate, it has no life. Even if it has awakened, there is nothing different about it. However, it has an ability ¡ª Devouring!"


    "Devour?"


    "Mm, it has an extremely strong devouring ability. "It can devour anything under the heavens ¡­"


    "And it also created an entirely new race. It was different from the other races of the dragon race, and that is ¡ª Devil, Erosion. Because of this, it is also known as the Devil Ancestor."


    "Devil Ancestor?" Lin Tian was already unable to express his feelings in his heart: "Then is this demon the same race as the Blood Demon Sect we saw before?"


    "Of course not, are you joking?" Hornless, he said, "The Blood Demon Sect is considered a demonic path at best. They are far inferior to those devils, but they are all very similar, and that is Devour."


    "Erosion is only an ability like devouring. Moreover, it can only survive by relying on that kind of ability ¡­"


    "It can only continuously devour and devour in order to continuously grow stronger and grow ¡­ As for the demons created by it, it is the same. As a result, very quickly, in a short span of several hundred thousand years, the demons have grown at a tremendous speed, growing stronger ¡­ "


    "Finally, before the arrival of the third era, they had formed an extremely large number of races, demons!"


    In Horned Demon''s voice, there was a trace of gloominess. It was obvious that the appearance of these devils had changed everything that followed.


    "The third era arrived as promised, and the devil race finally reached a stage where they couldn''t be ignored. In the middle of the third era, the devil race finally swallowed everything around them, and from then on, the Demon Claw invaded other God Kingdoms. They began to attack the other God Kingdoms, devouring the stars and expanding the land."


    "Therefore, the third era is also known as the Dusk Era."


    "The Twilight Era?"


    "That''s right, because the Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons are not fully formed yet and the dragon race is still in the breeding stage. Therefore, at this stage, it seems like the territory of the dragon race is a scene of prosperity, but a crisis has already been concealed there. After dusk, there is darkness, and this is the last bit of light that the dragon race has ¡­" Hornless sighed deeply.


    "The fourth era, the Age of Darkness. The demons finally began to invade the dragon race''s Divine Kingdom. The so-called Divine Kingdom is also the territory of the dragon race. The territory of the dragon race is called the Endless Divine Region ¡­"


    When the devils attacked the endless Divine Realm, the Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons had already grown up, and were not weak at all. The Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons, together with billions of other dragons, used the price of burning their blood essence to turn into three thousand dragon flames.


    "And that time, it also officially declared the start of the battle between the dragon race and the devil race." Horned Demon seemed to have returned to that era, his tone was filled with yearning and regret.


    "The fifth era is called the Age of Chaos. This era is the era of the most intense battles ¡­" The demon armies will rest for a period of time before making their comeback, and the Ancestral Dragon Nine Son will lead the Divine Dragon Clan and head towards the ancient battlefield with the demons.


    "At this moment, the Boundless Divine Realm has already been turned into ruins. Three thousand dragon flames incinerated all of the demons and completely burned down the dragon clan''s homeland ¡­"


    When Horned Demon said this, he couldn''t help but sob.


    In the sixth era, the Sky Dragon Continent, which had been separated from the center of the battlefield, finally had a chance to take a breather and develop. At this time, it is the peak of human development, and many humans have appeared.


    "This period of time is also the period where the dragon race places their greatest expectations on the Sky Dragon Continent. This is because only when humans grow stronger will they be able to come and help the dragon race ¡­"


    "At this moment, countless Divine Realm experts are all in the Void Domain, heading to the Wasteland Divine Realm to fight alongside the Dragon clan ¡­"


    Lin Tian and the Celestial Mouse were all dumbfounded from listening. Right now, their faces were completely red.


    If Horned Demon hadn''t told them this, they wouldn''t have known that hundreds of millions of years ago, there was actually such a grand battle!


    Unfortunately, the good news does not last long. In the end of the sixth era, when the dragon race and human race worked together and finally managed to push back the demon army, the most powerful existence, the Devil Ancestor, finally made his move after devouring several stars consecutively. Just as the demon army was about to be forced back, the Devil Ancestor appeared and completely changed the outcome of the battle.


    "This time, no one can withstand it. Countless heaven chosen individuals have died in the Great Wastelands Divine Realm, and countless dragons have died as well. The entire demon race has been roused, thinking that this is a timely event."


    "Finally, it is the seventh era, this era, known as the apocalypse. Because, this time, the dragon race was suppressed in the Great Wastelands Divine Realm, and the human race no longer has the protection of the dragon race, and with the annihilation of all the God Realm masters, the human race''s vitality is greatly damaged, and no longer have so many heaven chosen people appear. Even the human race lost all of their secret techniques, and no one else can become a God Realm master ¡­"


    "At this moment, the devil ancestor ''corroded'' us without any face at all. After resting for a period of time, the devil ancestor finally extended his hand to the most important dragon god country ¡­"


    "Actually, the Dragon God Kingdom is above the Sky Dragon Continent. The Ancestral Dragon created humans, demons, and barbarians, and made the dragon race''s God Kingdom float in the sky above the Sky Dragon Continent in order to protect the races above the Sky Dragon Continent at all times ¡­"


    "Then, it is obvious. If the Divine Kingdom of the Dragon Tribe is invaded, the next step would be the Sky Dragon Continent ¡­"


    When Lin Tian heard this, he tightly clenched his fists. He seemed to have understood something, but he didn''t have any expression. He just quietly listened to Horned Demon''s story.


    But after entering the Endless Divine Region, it was injured by the last thread of the Ancestral Dragon God Soul. It had reluctantly stopped the attack on the Endless Divine Region, but the last trace of the Ancestral Dragon God Soul had also completely disappeared as well, but the Dragon Tribe''s army couldn''t do anything about it. They were still helplessly suppressed in the Primordial Divine Region.


    Horned Demon sighed deeply. His tone was also filled with helplessness.


    But soon after, it continued, "But according to the legends, the Ancestral Dragon also left behind the last method to save the dragon race. The method that can help the dragon race escape ¡ª the Dragon Transformation Token."


    "Dragon Transformation Token!" Lin Tian had a face of shock as he looked at Horned Demon, as if he wanted to confirm what Horned Demon had just said.


    "That''s right, it is the Dragon Transformation Token inside your body!" Hornless gave an affirmative answer.


    "It''s actually true! The last method that the Ancestral Dragon left behind, the Dragon Transformation Token, is actually in my body?" Lin Tian said in disbelief.


    Aside from the dragon blood inside his whirlpool of dantian, there was also the Dragon Transformation token!


    The Dragon Transformation token had been carried by Lin Tian from the start until his meridians and dantian had all been destroyed. Only then did he absorb the Ancestral Dragon Blood within the Dragon Transformation token, resulting in his current cultivation.


    "The Ancestral Dragon is the strongest existence in the world, and also the most magical and powerful species. The Dragon Transformation token is the symbol of the Ancestral Dragon''s inheritance, and it contains a drop of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood. "At the same time, the Dragon Transformation Token is also a precious treasure of the dragon race and has all kinds of unimaginable uses. In addition, the Dragon Transformation Token can also be used to control millions of dragons and can also be used as a symbol of the dragon race.


    Horned Demon continued to speak, revealing the secret of the Dragon Transformation Token.


    But hearing this, Lin Tian was even more shocked. How could such a terrifying Dragon Transformation token be on his body?


    Doesn''t that mean he would have to take responsibility for saving the entire dragon race?


    Time continued to flow, reaching the eighth era, the eighth era, which is known as the Age of Hope. In this era, Devil Ancestor Erosion was severely injured by the Ancestral Dragon, and after that, it fell into a hibernating state. The Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons also found an opportunity because of this.


    "However, at this moment, the Endless Divine Region has long been corroded and torn. With the invasion of the demon army and the bitter support of the dragon race, wars are constantly erupting within the Endless Divine Region ¡­"


    "This is the mystery behind the disappearance of the Dragon clan. This is also what I wanted to tell you ¡­" Horned Demon said to Lin Tian with a serious face.


    "And after that?" Lin Tian asked.


    "This era, this era is the ninth era. This era is called the Dawn era by the dragon race!" But it was also an extremely terrifying era, because in this era, the nine dragons could no longer hold on. The Endless Divine Realm was shattered, and endless devil energy had begun to invade the Sky Dragon Continent ¡­ "


    "The meaning of the Dragon Transformation token is obvious. I don''t need to explain the importance of the Dragon Transformation token to humans, demons, and barbarians. So, before you, I''ve been looking for a successor for the Dragon Transformation Token ¡­"


    "Looking for me?" Lin Tian asked.


    "No, it''s the successor of the Transformation Dragon Order ¡­" Horned Demon shook his head and once again said something that Lin Tian could not understand at all ¡­

 C436 Devil race i lin tian have come!

    "Not looking for me?" Lin Tian had a face full of disbelief. He was the successor of the Dragon Transformation Token! How could he not be looking for him?


    "Kid, this is the end of the ninth era. Do you think I''ve waited a full era just to find you?"


    Horned Demon laughed before asking.


    "What do you mean?" Lin Tian still didn''t understand.


    "Let me tell you this, before you, the Dragon Transformation Token has already experienced eight successors ¡­" Horned Demon explained, "And you, are the ninth ¡­"


    "What? Before me, there are already eight of them?" Lin Tian exclaimed.


    He had originally thought himself to be the only one, but he hadn''t thought that the Dragonize Token would already have experienced so many inheritances.


    "That''s right, remember what I told you before. Once the blood of a member of the human, demon, or barbarian race has awakened a trace of the power of the Ancestral Dragon, they would be called the chosen one of the heaven. Of course, if it''s a member of the demon race, then it would be the same as well ¡­"


    "Therefore, before you, there were eight who awakened the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon and were chosen by the Dragon Transformation Token to become the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon ¡­"


    "Of those eight people, some were in the beginning of the era, some were in the middle stage, and some were in the late stage. The person closest to you was also 100,000 years ago, and that person was your ancestor, Lin Tian ¡­" Horned Demon said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "My ancestor, was also someone chosen by the heavens?" Lin Tian was even more astonished. Of course, 100,000 years ago was too long ago.


    A King''s Realm expert''s lifespan could not exceed 800 years. A Saint Realm expert had only reached 1,000 years. Even a God Realm expert would only have a lifespan of 10,000 years.


    However, that ancestor was actually one hundred thousand years away from him.


    "For the past one hundred million years, I have been supporting the people of the heaven''s gate, helping them to grow, and I have come out to help every single person of the heaven''s gate. But there are many people of the heaven''s gate, who are breathtakingly talented, gifted, and even stepped into the divine realm with the help of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence, but they were still unable to help the nine ancestors, completely completing their mission of exterminating the demons ¡­"


    "Those eight people were from the human race, Great Demon King, and even the barbarian race, and they were all extremely powerful individuals." Those eight people were from the human race, Great Demon King, and even the barbarian race, and they were all extremely powerful individuals. "They are unable to help the Dragon race complete their mission, and the Ancestral Dragon blood they absorbed was also recalled back by the Dragon Transformation token ¡­"


    "Just like this, over a hundred million years ¡­" When Hornless said this, he also felt somewhat sad.


    It was a fake dragon, not a real dragon. Of course, this was not because of anything else, but because of the mission, it needed to give up its identity as a real dragon, because in order to escape from the demon race and their spies as well as the sealing power that was corroded between the Dragon God Kingdom and Sky Dragon Continent, it could only use the fake dragon body to escape and pursue.


    "To be honest, there are times when I want to give up. From the very beginning, I have seen too many amazing geniuses, so it can be said that the inheritors of the Dragon Transformation Token, no matter which one of them, are stronger than you in talent, more outstanding, more powerful in strength and luck ¡­"


    "Actually, even your father is much stronger than you ¡­" Horned Demon said to Lin Tian without mercy.


    "Is my father, my father, also a person chosen by the heavens?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "No, at first, I thought your father was one, but later on I found out that the one chosen for the Dragonize Order wasn''t your father, but you ¡­" Horned Demon said indifferently. He thought back to the past. 100,000 years ago, the eighth disciple of the Dragon Transformation Token had died and disappeared without a trace.


    It was only a few decades ago that the Dragon Transformation Token appeared once again. This time however, it appeared on Lin Feng''s body.


    Lin Tian''s ancestor was naturally Lin Feng''s ancestor who awakened the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline''s God Power, thus inheriting it to the entire Lin Clan.


    Amongst the descendants, Lin Feng had also awakened his bloodline''s godly powers.


    Logically speaking, those who had awakened their Bloodline God Power should have been chosen from the heavens, but Lin Feng was not.


    If he wanted to verify whether or not he was the successor of the Dragon Transformation Token, it would be simple. It would depend on whether or not his blood could awaken the Token.


    Without a doubt, Lin Feng had directly failed.


    However, because Lin Feng had awakened the bloodline power of the Ancestral Dragon, even though he did not receive the acknowledgement of the Dragon Transformation Token, he was still a rare genius.


    This was also the reason why Lin Feng, in his short twenties, had already become a powerhouse of the Emperor Realm.


    But now, with Lin Feng not even forty years old, it was highly likely that he had reached the level of a Saint.


    From this, it can be seen how fearsome an awakened Dragon Bloodline God Power is ¡­


    Lin Tian was Lin Feng''s son, so he naturally inherited the bloodline''s God Power.


    Actually, Lin Tian''s talent was not bad. If he was killed by Luo Chen, even without the inheritance of the Dragon Transformation token, he would not be inferior to any other master ¡­


    As long as he kept developing the God Power from his bloodline.


    But later on, due to an accident, Lin Tian became a heaven chosen person and was recognized by the Dragon Transformation token.


    He had become the ninth successor of the Dragon Transformation token, and now everything had happened.


    "Does my father know that I''m someone chosen by the heavens?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Perhaps I know ¡­" Hornless also did not have a definite answer.


    It was only normal for Lin Feng to not know about this.


    "Then what do you mean to say?" Lin Tian did not refuse to accept this fact. Although what Horned Demon said made Lin Tian unable to believe it, he knew that Horned Demon wouldn''t lie to him.


    Even if it was a secret from before, it was normal.


    Think about it. If Horned Demon had told Lin Tian these things, would Lin Tian believe it? Even if he told Lin Tian now, so what? Lin Tian still wouldn''t be able to change anything.


    With his current strength, even protecting himself would be a bit difficult. Even if he met a strong opponent, Lin Tian would still not be a match for him.


    Don''t even think about helping the dragons.


    His current strength was still too weak, so he had to quickly find opportunities to grow.


    "Actually, before this, I did not have much hope for you. Your talent, aptitude, and even perception could be considered top-notch amongst ordinary people. However, compared to the descendants of the Dragon Transformation Token, they are not the best. Horned Demon directly said the truth to Lin Tian.


    Of course, these were the words in Horned Demon''s heart.


    Lin Tian himself also knew that from Horned Demon''s tone, he could completely understand how strong those powerful experts were.


    But Lin Tian was not discouraged at all. He was confident that there was still a long way to go. He was confident, hardworking, and hardworking that he could help him go even further.


    "But, you have something on you that they don''t have ¡­" Horned Demon suddenly said.


    "What?" Lin Tian Deng became curious.


    "It''s because of your personality ¡­" Horned Demon replied, "Sometimes, the heart can''t decide everything, but it can affect someone."


    "Those eight people might have outstanding talents, and might stand out among the crowd. However, there are many people whose temperament is simply lacking. Moreover, they don''t have your brains ¡­" Hornless said, "In short, you are the hope that I see after you are gone. Of course, this is also why when you are in danger, I will not take the initiative to attack you, but rather let you solve the problem by yourself, which is to train your mentality. Actually, you have already surprised me ¡­"


    This was the first time Horned Demon had praised Lin Tian so highly.


    "Moreover, brat, it seems that you are born with good luck. Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, Ice Silkworm, these kinds of unparalleled treasures have all been obtained by you. Of course, there is also this Celestial Mouse ¡­"


    The Celestial Mouse was overjoyed to hear the Horned Dragon''s praise. However, it still held back the pride on its face as it repeatedly said," How, how, this kid and I are friends at first sight. Of course, we have to be friends ¡­


    Horned Demon gently said, "Boy, I''ve already told you everything. I''ve also told you everything. You''re about to bear the responsibility, are you ready?"


    "I''m ready ¡­" Lin Tian took a deep breath and said word by word.


    To be honest, he was really ready.


    Even if there was such a huge responsibility waiting for him, he was already prepared.


    However, at this moment, he knew what the mist in the black fog was ¡­


    "Horned Demon, I will absolutely not disappoint you. For the Dragon Transformation token, and also for your help, and also for the billions of dragons and the humans, demons, and barbarians, and also for myself. Demon race, Devil Ancestor, I, Lin Tian, have come!" Lin Tian softly said, as if he was talking to a Horned Demon, and also as if he was mumbling to himself ¡­

 C437 Searching for a source of demonic energy

    "As long as you are ready." The Horned Demon slightly nodded his head and said to Lin Tian: "The reason why this place is able to condense the black fog is because there is a very high possibility that this place has the aura of that monster ¡­"


    "Monster?" Lin Tian was a little dazed.


    "That''s right, the method the demon army used to invade the Sky Dragon Continent wasn''t a direct attack ¡­" Horned Demon slowly explained, "Firstly, they directly attacked, they were afraid that the Ancestral Dragon would still leave a backup plan. You have to know, the Devil Ancestor Erosion was inflicted by the Ancestral Dragon''s backup, and it also injured its core, so the other demons naturally don''t dare to send themselves to their deaths ¡­"


    "Of course, there is a second and more important reason. Actually, the Sky Dragon Continent has its own unique restriction. It is impossible for those devils to enter the Sky Dragon Continent without being detected." Hornless said again.


    "Therefore, if we want to invade the Sky Dragon Continent, there is only one way for the demons to invade the human, demon, or barbarian race on the Sky Dragon Continent. Then, we can influence them and invade these humans, demons, and barbarians."


    "So what you''re saying is that the demonic energy in this forest might have come from something that was contaminated with demonic energy?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "En, that should be the case. But I have a faint feeling that the monsters in here are definitely very powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be such a strong devil aura ¡­" Hornless said indifferently.


    "But, boy, you don''t have to worry, you have the means of the dragon race, all these years, the dragon race and the devil race have started fighting each other, we already know it well, so the devil race has the means to restrain the dragon race, the dragon race is also like this ¡­"


    "All of your skills can restrain that demon ¡­" Horned Demon encouraged Lin Tian.


    "This matter should not be delayed. Let''s go find the source of the demonic energy right now ¡­" The Celestial Mouse''s eyes were currently shining as he spoke to Lin Tian and Horned Demon.


    Lin Tian glanced at the Celestial Mouse and asked in astonishment: "What? You can also deal with this demonic aura?"


    "I can''t ¡­" The Celestial Mouse said without hesitation, "But I am excited! I heard so much from the dragon just now. I naturally want to see what kind of terrifying thing that monster is. I have no way to deal with it, but there is still you brat, isn''t there?"


    "..."


    Lin Tian did not bicker with the Celestial Mouse. Instead, he followed the directions of the Horned Demon and continued to go deeper.


    In this forest of black fog, there were almost no signs of life.


    Aside from the endless fog, one could also occasionally see piles of bones scattered on the ground. It was likely that someone had mistakenly entered this place before. Those piles of bones were their final destination.


    The demon aura became denser and denser, emitting an endless corrosive power. It was extremely terrifying.


    In the beginning, the Celestial Mouse could still rely on his armor to block the terrifying energy, but now, he was completely unable to block the demonic energy.


    At this time, it had already drilled into Lin Tian''s arm, relying on Lin Tian''s strength to resist the corrosion of the demonic qi.


    Lin Tian also didn''t feel too good. At this time he could only use all of his strength to resist the erosion of the demonic qi.


    He was surrounded by a majestic bloody aura that was emitting golden rays of light. At a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, he was consuming the power of the demonic energy.


    It was also because of this that Lin TianAo was convinced that the dragon blood in his body was enough to restrain the power of the demonic energy.


    Time passed day by day, and one could barely see the edge of the black fog forest. There was nothing as long as the dense forest and the black fog were there.


    At the end, Lin Tian simply stopped walking.


    At this moment, the tenth day had already passed.


    Lin Tian still hadn''t found the demon qi source.


    At this moment, Ling Wuji, who was standing outside the forest, finally felt a bit discouraged.


    On the first day, the second day, or even the seventh and eighth day, Ling Wuji was able to completely persevere because he felt that Lin Tian''s methods had detected that something was wrong and would immediately return.


    But after ten days had passed, Lin Tian still had no intentions of walking out.


    "Brat, hurry up and refine that Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit. It is not yet time to search for the demon energy source ¡­" After sensing Lin Tian''s current condition, the Horned Demon couldn''t help but open his mouth to speak.


    For ten consecutive days, Lin Tian was in a state of high vigilance.


    After all, only the blood aura he emitted could help him resist the corrosion of the demon qi. Other than that, there was no other force that could resist it.


    In these ten days, Lin Tian did not dare to relax even a bit. He completely understood if it was really the demons, how serious the consequences would be.


    If the Blood Demon Sect was just a big threat to the Western Spirit Region, then the Demon race was a huge threat to the entire Sky Dragon Continent. If they couldn''t handle it properly, the final result would be out of control.


    Moreover, almost no one could stop the corrosion of this kind of demonic energy. If Lin Tian had the Ancestral Dragon inheritance and relied on his own strength, it would be completely impossible for him to block the corrosion of this demonic energy ¡­.


    If that happened, the demonic energy would quickly spread throughout the entire Western Spiritual Region and turn into the way it was now, not to mention the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Deathly air, nothingness ¡­


    These ten days, Lin Tian''s consumption was extremely huge. Of course, it was also extremely beneficial for his own cultivation.


    It was almost as if he was fighting and cultivating all the time.


    However, his body had also reached a period of extreme exhaustion.


    Thus, when Horned Demon said he wanted Lin Tian to cultivate on the spot, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and immediately sat down cross-legged.


    The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was a treasure used to purify geniuses'' bloodlines. To be honest, Lin Tian really wanted to know, after refining the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, to what extent would Lin Tian''s strength increase ¡­ ¡­.


    It had to be known that Lin Tian only had a tenth of that Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence when he had such a strong strength.


    If he absorbed the remaining 90%, it was hard to imagine how strong Lin Tian would be. It was hard to imagine ¡­


    The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit instantly dissolved in his mouth and turned into a pure medicinal power that quickly spread into Lin Tian''s limbs and bones.


    He could feel that every drop of blood essence in his body was being manipulated by the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit and was starting to emit a majestic blood aura.


    And that was not enough. The huge effect of the medicine quickly spread out again. Lin Tian''s blood gradually started to boil.


    A single drop of blood seemed to be filled with immense killing intent and boundless power.


    Lin Tian''s whirlpool of Dantian currently continuously moved the medicinal strength in his body, quickly spreading it to every part of his body.


    Lin Tian felt that every cell had been washed and purified.


    At the same time, under the effects of the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit''s medicinal power, the impurities in Lin Tian''s body and the impurities in his blood were all cleaned out one by one.


    Lin Tian''s entire body was currently emitting a fishy stench.


    But in the end, it turned into vapour.


    However, this time, he wasn''t able to attract the whirlpool to his dantian again, allowing Lin Tian to absorb another sliver of the Ancestral Dragon''s blood essence.


    However, thinking about it made sense. After all, the strongest medicinal power of the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was to purify the bloodline and not to help Lin Tian cleanse his marrow.


    However, the benefit of purifying the blood was also great.


    Currently, the Stellar River within Lin Tian''s body was solidifying. Streams of star power hung high in the sky, emitting dazzling starlight.


    A small blood-red dragon was lying in the middle of the river of stars, and it was becoming more and more solid. The red color on its body was like that of blood; it was extremely terrifying.


    More importantly, the little red dragon looked as if it could open its eyes at any time.


    The river of stars in Lin Tian''s body also started to expand. At the end, the enormous power of the river of stars actually started to continuously change.


    "Fourth level of the Milky Way!"


    "Fifth level of the Milky Way!"


    "Sixth level of the Milky Way!"


    "Nine Layers of the Milky Way!"


    Lin Tian''s body released crackling sounds like fried beans.


    His strength had also increased explosively.


    In the blink of an eye, he actually jumped from the 3rd level of the Astral Reaching Realm to the 9th level.


    However, all of this was far from over ¡­

 C438 Secret valley

    Not long after, Lin Tian felt the Stellar River in his body disappear in a blink of an eye ¡­.


    That''s right, he just disappeared.


    At this moment, the endless energy of the river of stars had completely merged into one with Lin Tian''s body.


    The surging power gave Lin Tian a vigorous life force.


    The blood qi around Lin Tian''s body was even more powerful.


    It was also at this time that Horned Demon''s faint voice sounded, "Brat, I must congratulate you. You have finally broken through the fourth level of the foundation realm and reached the Life and Death Realm ¡­"


    "Life and death realm?" Lin Tian was both surprised and happy. He never would have thought that this breakthrough would actually be so terrifying. He practically jumped several small realms and crazily advanced.


    Of course, he knew that whether it was the Qi Refining stage, the Qi Sea stage, the Golden Core stage, or the Star River stage, they were all the foundation of martial arts cultivation.


    These four foundation realms had reached the ninth level of the Star River Realm. In a low level kingdom like the Tian Luo Country, they could already be considered experts. However, in the entire Western Spirit Region, the Life and Death Realm was the true starting point for experts.


    He couldn''t be considered an expert without reaching the Life and Death Realm.


    It had to be known that in the Lingxiao Saint Sect, all the core disciples were above the Life and Death Realm.


    As for the Astral Reaching Realm, even if one was at the ninth level of the Astral Reaching Realm, in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, he would at most be an inner disciple.


    He was still a long way from becoming a core disciple, not to mention a true disciple.


    Although Lin Tian consecutively jumped a few small realms and reached the Life and Death Realm, he had only just touched the threshold of a core disciple.


    Lin Tian was still quite a distance away from some of the stronger Successor Disciples in the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    However, from this, Lin Tian could feel the dragon race''s formidable bloodline.


    Especially since the one Lin Tian had inherited was a Ancestor Dragon.


    The Ancestral Dragon was even more powerful.


    Although Lin Tian had absorbed the Ancestral Dragon blood essence before, Lin Tian had absorbed it and fused it into his own blood.


    But after all, Lin Tian''s strength was still too weak and he was completely unable to display the terrifying power of the Ancestral Dragon Blood.


    On the contrary, many of the power instead concealed themselves and hibernated into Lin Tian''s body.


    Originally, Lin Tian''s strength could only continuously improve, but he could also purify the blood in his body.


    But now, with the help of the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, this entire process had been brought forward.


    As such, Lin TianAo had made great progress and advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Above the Astral Realm was the Life and Death Realm.


    This was an extremely important level in the path of martial arts.


    The Life and Death Realm was the realm that broke the lifespan threshold.


    The lifespans of commoners were limited, even cultivators.


    No one could live forever.


    After all, that was the rule of the Grand Dao.


    Martial cultivators were changing their fates and seizing their fates from the heavens.


    The Life and Death Realm was precisely the first step for a martial artist to step into a fate that defied the will of the heavens.


    The Life and Death Realm was divided into two stages, the Profound Life stage and the Profound Death stage.


    There were a total of nine stages of Life and Death.


    Fifth level of the Profound Life Stage and fourth level of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    After his teacher died, he died and came back to life. The cycle of life and death intersected and that was the beauty of the Life and Death Realm.


    Lin Tian had already broken through the shackles of life and now, he had officially reached the first level of the Profound Life stage.


    The difference between the Life and Death Realm and the Star River Realm, was still reflected in his own body.


    The Qi Disciple stage senses the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and the Qi Hai level allows the body to connect to the dantian of the body, forming the Qi Sea.


    The aurous core realm, Qi Cultivation stage, condensed into aurous core. The aurous core did not shatter, but the elemental energy was endless.


    The shattering of the golden cores by the Astral Realm formed an endless river of stars, making it even more powerful.


    However, the Life and Death Realm returned to the original state. The Stellar River within a cultivator''s body would disappear like smoke in thin air, officially becoming a part of the cultivation world.


    At this moment, the body of a martial cultivator would emit an extremely majestic aura.


    The vital energy was the essence of the Profound Life stage and the reason for breaking the shackles of life.


    Only by giving birth to an endless amount of life force would a martial cultivator be able to take his life from the heavens.


    Only after reaching the first level of the Profound Life Stage did Lin Tian feel the strength in his body.


    Not only that, the key point was the change in Lin Tian''s blood qi.


    At this time, the blood on Lin Tian''s body was no longer red like human blood, but a light gold.


    The golden blood qi currently shot straight into the sky. Lin Tian''s entire body was emitting an extremely terrifying golden radiance.


    The surrounding black demon aura, upon encountering Lin Tian''s blood aura, quickly turned into nothingness. It no longer had any chance to resist.


    Lin Tian cultivated like this for an entire day and completely adapted to the cultivation strength of the first level of the Profound Life stage. Only then did he stand up again.


    Demonic Qi Origin, Lin Tian naturally knew his purpose in cultivating it.


    As the bloody aura around Lin Tian grew stronger and stronger, the surrounding demonic qi also became more and more terrifying.


    Currently, Lin Tian was like a flower emitting fragrance, unceasingly attracting bees and butterflies, unceasingly gathering and gathering the surrounding demonic energy.


    Of course, under the enveloping of Lin Tian''s Golden Blood Qi, almost no demon Qi could be spared, all of it dissipating into nothingness.


    However, the strange thing was that after the surrounding demonic aura was completely cleared by Lin Tian, the originally lush and verdant trees suddenly turned into a dried up black tree. They lost all their life force ¡­


    Lin Tian blankly watched this change. His heart was in disbelief.


    He also didn''t know how those trees could wither and die without the help of the demonic qi.


    "These trees have been nourished by the demonic energy and they can no longer be explained with common sense. Let''s go, don''t hesitate anymore. I can feel that the source of the demonic energy will arrive very soon ¡­" Horned Demon indifferently explained as he once again urged Lin Tian to quickly walk forward.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss ¡­"


    "Sha sha sha ¡­"


    Not long after, Lin Tian suddenly heard this sound. It sounded extremely terrifying, as if something was rubbing against the ground or tearing at something in order to make a sound.


    "It''s close, it''s getting closer and closer..." Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian''s spirit was suddenly lifted. If his guess was correct, he should already be very close to the demon aura source ¡­


    Lin Tian increased his speed and before long, he arrived in front of a huge valley.


    In the middle of the black fog forest, there was actually an enormous valley.


    Lin Tian also did not think that in the end, he would actually see a huge black valley in the vast black fog.


    Outside the valley, the forest was still lush and verdant. Only here, there was a huge valley.


    At this moment, a huge amount of black qi was constantly being ejected from the valley.


    That was demonic energy.


    "That''s right, this is the location of the source of demon qi ¡­"


    Enormous demonic energy completely enveloped the surroundings.


    Faintly, terrifying sounds came out from within the valley.


    That sound was like something tearing and biting, yet also like a human moaning and sighing, yet also like an unspeakable sound.


    Lin Tian increased his speed, found a high point in the valley, and quickly climbed up.


    When Lin Tian climbed to the highest point and looked down at everything within the valley, the things within the valley made Lin Tian feel his scalp go numb!

 C439 The real demons

    The valley in front of Lin Tian''s eyes didn''t look like it had been formed naturally at all. Instead, it seemed like it had been affected by some sort of huge external force to form a valley.


    In the deepest part of the valley, the lowest part, there was an endless mist of blood.


    The fog surrounded the entire valley and a foul, black wind came from the top of the valley.


    It was unknown how long the scarlet blood had been there. Some of it had already turned dark, gathering into black rivers at the bottom of the valley.


    Broken limbs, eerie white bones, human, demon, and barbarian heads and corpses covered the entire valley.


    It was everywhere.


    All of this was formed in the ravine. This valley was filled with a gloomy and miserable aura akin to that of an Asura from hell.


    All of this was far from enough. Before long, a loud sound came from the valley below.


    Suddenly, everything in front of Lin Tian''s eyes completely disappeared.


    In its place was an intense rumbling sound that came from the ground.


    There was also the gurgling sound of the blood-red black river in the valley.


    The black river of blood was boiling, as if it had alarmed something.


    Not long after, the rolling of the land and the boiling of the blood river completely devoured the dense white bones, head, body and endless blood aura.


    At this moment, accompanied by the violent trembling of the earth, faint ripping sounds, screeches, wails, wind sounds and all kinds of other sounds were frantically reverberating within the valley.


    His voice pierced through the black fog, filling the entire area with a sinister aura.


    It could be said that the entire valley was like a massive slaughterhouse, and also like the battlefield of an ancient Supreme Elder. But what was more similar was ¡­ the Asura Hell!


    Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Tian was completely shocked.


    He didn''t say anything for a long time. His chest felt stuffy, as if he couldn''t even breathe.


    Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the scene in front of him would have such a huge impact.


    He didn''t expect this at all.


    "Holy shit, is it that scary?" At this moment, that Celestial Mouse couldn''t help but curse.


    At this time, it was lying on Lin Tian''s right hand with a face full of disbelief as it looked at everything in front of it.


    This place, this place, what exactly is this place?


    "It really is the work of their demon race!" Just at this moment, Horned Demon who was inside the Divine Palace suddenly spoke up. However, Horned Demon''s tone didn''t sound that surprised.


    "Brat, did you see that? The heads of those people, monsters, and barbarians are the proof of everything ¡­" Horned Demon said indifferently, "As for this valley, it was probably formed because the demons used some method to forcefully cut through the barrier above Sky Dragon Continent, only then did it land here ¡­"


    Just as he was speaking, a gigantic black aura rolled out from within the valley. The black aura shot up to the sky and covered the sun. Under the blowing of the fishy wind in the valley, the black aura quickly spread into the black fog forest.


    "So this is how demonic energy is formed ¡­" Lin Tian was in disbelief.


    However, he once again asked the Horned Demon, "Are the monsters here human, demon, or barbarian?"


    Before, Horned Demon had also said that those devils were unable to come to the Sky Dragon Continent, and the only one who could, in fact, destroy the entire Sky Dragon Continent, was the devil ancestor who was heavily injured by the means left behind by the Ancestral Dragon. Even now, he had not recovered, so naturally he would not be able to come.


    If the devils wanted to come to the Sky Dragon Continent, they could only rely on their own life force to corrode the human race, the demon race, or the barbarian race.


    To make them into Demonic Puppets, the demons were in the outside world, controlling their movements on the Sky Dragon Continent.


    "It doesn''t look like it ¡­" Horned Demon was silent for a long time, but he gave an ambiguous answer.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian asked in disbelief: "Then what do you mean?"


    "The monster here seems to be a devil here ¡­" Hornless explained.


    "He is a true devil, which is also the demon that I mentioned previously ¡­"


    Hornless Rock said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "How is this possible?" What Horned Demon said was seemingly contradictory. He had just said that the Demon race could not directly invade the Sky Dragon Continent, but now, he said that the one in front of him was actually a true Demon race.


    Isn''t that a contradiction?


    "Kid, have you noticed what I said before?" Horned Demon suddenly asked.


    "What do you mean?"


    "I''ve just told you how this valley was formed ¡­"


    "You said that the valley was created by external forces, and someone cut open the barrier between the Sky Dragon Continent ¡­"


    Saying this, Lin Tian Deng immediately shut up. He understood what Horned Demon meant.


    Someone or something had forcefully cut open the barrier left behind on the Sky Dragon Continent.


    Then, it was naturally very possible that it was the Demon race. Opening the barrier on the Sky Dragon Continent and sending the Demon race in wasn''t completely impossible ¡­


    "There''s actually a real devil here ¡­" Lin Tian''s face began to turn serious.


    He felt some fear in his heart, but more than that, he was excited and uneasy.


    He never thought that he would have to face a real demon. Furthermore, it wasn''t the other three races that were infected by the demonic energy, but the real demons ¡­


    At the same time, the ground began to shake violently once more.


    Before long, an extremely terrifying figure drilled out from within the valley.


    A black gas that was as tall as six or seven people slowly formed into a solid black body.


    That was a real demon.


    On top of the devil, there were no features, only two frightening black eyeballs.


    From within the eyeball, a scarlet, ominous glint was being emitted.


    At this moment, as if attracted by Lin Tian''s bloody aura, the devil stared fixedly at Lin Tian.


    "Human, you''re actually human?" At this moment, the devil slowly spoke, speaking in human language.


    "Brat, do you see that? This is the real devil race!" Within the Divine Palace, the Horned Demon''s voice carried a trace of a feeling that he hadn''t heard for a long time.


    Lin Tian lightly nodded his head, but he did not say anything. Within his body, he seemed to have sensed the aura of the demon. At this moment, all around his body, terrifying blood energy began to rapidly gather.


    At this moment, a raging desire for battle welled up in his chest. He felt that he would only feel at peace if he killed this demon in front of him and tore it into pieces.


    This was the enemy of life and death!


    "No, you have the smell of a dragon ¡­" At this moment, the devil spoke again.


    "Interesting, interesting. I never thought that I would meet a dragon here. I really miss the flesh and blood of a dragon ¡­"


    The demon spoke once again. His tone was filled with an awe-inspiring killing intent ¡­

 C440 Fighting demons

    "I also didn''t expect that my Sky Dragon Continent would still have you bastards. If I don''t kill you, I will let you down!" Lin Tian coldly said. His tone was also full of biting cold killing intent.


    This was actually a genuine devil race. This was something they could never have imagined.


    However, it was no wonder that the demonic energy in this dark fog forest was so terrifying.


    It turned out that the terrifying black demonic aura on this devil''s body was the reason why it was contaminated by all of this.


    But Lin Tian also had some doubts in his heart. According to what Horned Demon said, these demons were almost invincible. The strongest ability they had was to devour.


    If this Demon had really been in the Sky Dragon Continent for that long, wouldn''t that mean that he would have devoured the entire continent.


    How was this possible? They had only corroded a part of the forest.


    As if he knew Lin Tian''s thoughts, Horned Demon explained: "I''ve also told you before, it''s very difficult for demons to invade the Sky Dragon Continent. Of course, although it''s very difficult, but it''s not impossible.


    "However, this does not mean that all demons can come. The arrival of this devil is a result that the demons have prepared for many years to complete ¡­"


    After all, the demons have to be restricted by the power of the Sky Dragon Continent. I have told you before, when everything was in chaos, the first thing that came into our consciousness was the Sky Dragon Continent, the Sky Dragon Continent''s spirit of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    "The Demon race paid such a large price to send this demon here, but this demon will also be restricted by the power of the Sky Dragon Continent. It can be said that this Demon race used 99% of their power to resist the balance of power in the Sky Dragon Continent ¡­"


    "In other words, even 99% of the power of this demon cannot be unleashed ¡­"


    Horned Demon continued to explain, "I''m guessing that this demon has been sleeping for almost half the time. Until now, with your arrival, that demon was completely awakened ¡­"


    Only then did Lin Tian nod his head as his heart more or less began to feel better.


    After all, if this devil''s strength was too strong, Lin Tian really did not know.


    "Boy, you are very interesting, and I really like you. Come, let me see just how strong you are. You actually found this place!" The devil started to run.


    In the blink of an eye, the devil arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Boom!" The devil struck out with his fist.


    A huge black arm swept towards Lin Tian like a mountain.


    Lin Tian did not dodge or retreat. At this time, the Dragon Scale Spear had already frantically attacked.


    "Destruction!" Lin Tian ferociously roared and directly displayed the strongest move of the first style, ''Destruction''.


    A monstrous force, accompanied by Lin Tian''s incomparably majestic blood Qi, suddenly shot out.


    "Berserk Mark, first layer, explode!"


    "Berserk Mark, second layer, explode!"


    "Berserk Mark, eighth level! Give it to me! Explode! Explode!"


    The instant the Dragon Scale Spear and the huge black fist collided, Lin Tian once again ferociously roared out.


    A formidable brilliance instantly blossomed on the surface of the Dragon Scale Spear.


    The endless power collided with the black fist in an instant.


    This was Lin Tian''s full strength attack. Even the endless blood qi around Lin Tian''s body was imbued into the Dragon Scale Spear.


    In that instant, all the power exploded on the devil''s fist.


    But sadly, after the long spear hit the devil''s fist, the black fist turned into black demonic aura and quickly exploded. But after dodging Lin Tian''s spear, it became a fist once again and was retracted by the devil.


    "As expected of the dragon clan..." The demon laughed out loud, "I like your brain very much. I like the dragon race''s brain the most, it will be greatly nourished. If it can devour you, then I won''t have to stay here forever. I am really looking forward to it ¡­"


    "You talk too much nonsense!" Lin Tian coldly smiled. Although he had not succeeded in his first strike, he was not discouraged in the slightest.


    If this devil was so easy to deal with, then he wouldn''t be a big enemy of the dragon clan.


    However, it was just a probing attack just now. This time, Lin Tian didn''t continue probing and instead, he began to use his most powerful technique.


    "Ancient Dragon Symbol, come out!" In that instant, Lin Tian summoned the Immemorial Dragon Rune on his soul from the Divine Manor.


    The Ancient Dragon Symbol was the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol. The instant the incomparably powerful symbol power drilled out of the forest, it turned into a roaring giant dragon that madly pounced towards the devil.


    "Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, come out as well ¡­"


    Lin Tian roared again.


    This time, a coiling dragon of nine days also drilled out from Lin Tian''s Divine Palace in an instant.


    The enormous Dragon Soul Body was extremely frightening. It possessed the might to sweep through the world. At this moment, it had all rushed towards that demon.


    But at the same time, Horned Demon also wasn''t idle and he also came out of Lin Tian''s Divine Palace.


    Not only that, but the Horned Demon even lightly tapped Lin Tian''s forehead and said: "Boy, I''ll let you borrow my dragon blood for now!"


    Saying that, Lin Tian felt his entire body''s endless blood spread out from between his eyebrows. Very quickly, it rushed towards that Horned Demon.


    With the support of Lin Tian''s blood, in that instant, the Horned Dragon''s soul became completely solid. It didn''t even look like a dragon soul, but a true dragon.


    There were no horns on the head of the Horned Demon Race. Both the dragon soul transformed from the Ancient Dragon Symbol and the Coiling Dragon Soul transformed from the Coiling Dragon Soul Symbol had two horns.


    At this moment, the three dragons were circling above Lin Tian''s head, rumbling non-stop. In the next moment, they charged at the demon.


    "You dog, go to hell!" Lin Tian bit his middle finger. Streams of blood immediately dripped onto the dragon scale spear.


    The dragon-scaled spear also began to tremble violently.


    In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear also turned into a huge green dragon. It followed the three huge dragons towards the demon.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also summoned the Icy Silkworm on his left hand.


    The ice silkworm also suddenly appeared, and an enormous frost power instantly spread around its surroundings.


    This was not enough. Lin Tian even summoned the small grass.


    At this moment, Little Grass had also transformed into a myriad of tendrils, charging towards that demon.


    At this time, Lin Tian used almost all of his methods.


    The goal is to completely exterminate this demon ¡­

 C441 Go all out!

    In the blink of an eye, the grass turned into a giant vine that looked like a long dragon, but also like a huge snake.


    The vicious snake opened its mouth and bit at the devil.


    In the next moment, Little Grass transformed into tens of thousands of vines, tightly wrapping itself around the demon.


    At the same time, the dragon body formed by the Horned Dragon was also tightly united with the other dragon souls.


    The next moment, there was a loud explosion.


    A few of the dragon souls pierced through the devil''s body, causing its body to dissipate into a cloud of black smoke.


    Lin Tian couldn''t help but stare blankly. Could it be that it was so simple to destroy that devil?


    But in the next moment, Lin Tian knew that he was overthinking things. If he could so easily destroy that devil, then the demons wouldn''t be the dragon race''s greatest enemy ¡­


    In the next moment, the devil trembled and turned back into a demon body!


    "Kid, if I let you kill me so easily, how can my demon race be considered the number one clan in the world?" The devil frantically laughed and said to Lin Tian in a sinister manner.


    Saying that, the devil crazily charged at Lin Tian. This time, his hands were filled with monstrous devil aura.


    "Kid, die!" The devil crazily shouted, "Devil Swallowing the World!"


    A monstrous demonic energy suddenly crazily rushed towards Lin Tian, the endless demonic energy instantly gathered and formed a huge devil, opening its mouth and biting towards Lin Tian.


    The incomparably huge demonic energy currently wrapped around Lin Tian, making it impossible for Lin Tian to break free.


    However, at this time, those huge dragons from before were all charging towards Lin Tian, frantically fighting against the demonic aura surrounding Lin Tian.


    The dragon body formed by the Horned Demon was currently a solid dragon body. Due to the blood that stained Lin Tian''s body, it immediately began to rapidly devour the demonic aura.


    When the horned dragon''s body collided with the demonic qi, the collision immediately began with a sizzling sound.


    It sounded extremely terrifying.


    Not long after, the demonic energy that was charging towards Lin Tian was completely swallowed by the horned dragon.


    After the Horned Dragon devoured such a tyrannical power, the entire body of the Horned Dragon turned black, looking extremely terrifying.


    Lin Tian saw this and was shocked: "Hornless, are you okay?"


    "It''s fine ¡­" Horned Demon indifferently replied, "Demon beasts, we have irreconcilable enmity with the dragon race. By devouring their demon qi, we will instead become even stronger!"


    At this moment, the Icy Jade Silkworm also spat out an endless amount of ice-cold power, and in an instant, it rushed towards the devil''s body.


    However, at this moment, the devil was not willing to be outdone. In the next moment, he waved his finger and the filthy things within the valley started to surge crazily.


    Endless black mist, demonic qi, and head rushed towards Lin Tian ferociously.


    The most frightening thing was that the ice power that the ice silkworm had spat out was actually unable to trap the demon.


    On the contrary, Lin Tian had to face such a filthy thing.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt that there was an extra sound in his ears. It sounded incomparably terrifying.


    It sounded like people biting and crying in pain, but it also sounded like countless people chattering in Lin Tian''s ear.


    This voice greatly affected Lin Tian''s will. At this moment, Lin Tian felt that he almost completely wanted to give up on the thought of struggling.


    He even felt, at one point, that he was one of them.


    But as the filth got closer and closer to Lin Tian, Lin Tian suddenly felt his head hurt.


    The soul inside the Divine Palace seemed to have been pricked by something, causing him to immediately wake up.


    At the same time, the limitless mental energy in his Divine Palace roared out, crazily rushing towards the surrounding illusions.


    In that instant, the illusions in front of Lin Tian''s ears all disappeared.


    All that was left was a head. Streams of black, rotten water appeared in front of Lin Tian''s eyes.


    These things seemed to be able to corrode Lin Tian and swallow him in the blink of an eye. However, at this time, the power of Lin Tian''s bloodline was completely stimulated.


    In the next moment, the dragon blood in Lin Tian''s body began to violently boil.


    Before long, the endless dragon blood made Lin Tian emit an incomparably powerful golden blood energy.


    The killing power of the golden blood gas was simply extremely terrifying. Under the envelopment of the golden blood gas, all the filthy things that were charging towards Lin Tian turned into nothingness.


    "Kill!" Currently, Lin Tian''s Golden Blood Qi had reached its peak. He waved his hands, and streams of Golden Blood Qi turned into golden spears. They crazily rushed at the filthy things, and in the blink of an eye, completely destroyed them.


    Not only that, Lin Tian still had the strength to help Horned Demon and a few other Dragon Souls deal with that demon.


    A violent rumbling sound came from Lin Tian''s body, just like a great river. Not only that, there was a small blood-red dragon lurking in his dantian.


    At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.


    The moment the blood-red dragon opened its eyes, it felt as if the world itself had been touched.


    The earth shook and the sky shook.


    At this moment, the valley was shaking violently. Dust fell from the sky and covered half of the valley.


    Not only that, the sky was filled with thunderclaps and explosions.


    He didn''t think that the changes in Lin Tian''s body would actually trigger the Heaven and Earth powers and cause the sky and earth to change.


    At this time, the demon also felt touched. At this moment, his pair of demonic eyes were fixed on Lin Tian, emitting a scarlet light which shone on Lin Tian''s body. He almost wanted to see through Lin Tian''s entire body.


    A moment later, the devil suddenly cried out in surprise, "You''re actually not an ordinary dragon. The inheritance that you possess is actually the Ancestral Dragon''s inheritance!"


    "Don''t you think it''s too late to find out now?" Lin Tian coldly snorted and the Golden Blood Qi surged once more.


    Streams of golden blood energy were like arrows as they rained down on the devil.


    When the golden blood aura charged at the devil, it immediately caused a large portion of the black demonic aura on the devil to wear away.


    But that devil didn''t care in the slightest, as if the one Lin Tian attacked wasn''t him.


    "It''s actually the descendant of an Ancestral Dragon, I can''t spare you then!" The devil no longer cared about all the attacks and focused his gaze on Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, did not have a single bit of fear. His gaze firmly stared at the devil: "Coincidentally, I do not plan on keeping you either!"


    Saying this, Lin Tian seemed to have an instinct.


    It let out a monstrous roar.


    This roar was not the voice of a human. Instead, it was the voice of a dragon.


    "Moo!"


    In the next moment, countless scales grew from Lin Tian''s body. Not only that, two horns also started to grow from his head.


    His legs, however, were connected together, completely forming a tail.


    Lin Tian! Lin Tian had actually turned into a dragon!


    The blood-red dragon that Lin Tian had transformed into was much smaller in size compared to the Horned Demons.


    But what was terrifying was that Lin Tian''s entire body was currently emitting surging vitality and golden blood energy.


    Unparalleled strength and astonishing speed.


    In an instant, the blood-red dragon that Lin Tian had turned into fiercely charged at the devil''s body.


    "Hehe, good job!" The devil abruptly raised his head and laughed loudly, "If I kill you, I can return to my homeland ¡­"


    As he said that, the demon also rose higher and higher.


    Not only that, he kept chanting some obscure language. After chanting all of the incantations, the power of the devil was hundreds of times stronger than before.


    "He is offering sacrifices. Kid, you must be careful ¡­" At this moment, Hornless'' voice was suddenly heard.


    Lin Tian did not dare to be slow. The whirlpool of dantian quickly rotated and it even moved the Dragon Transformation Token that had been inside Lin Tian''s dantian ever since he obtained it.


    An extremely cool aura was emitted from the Dragon Transformation token, completely dispersing some of the fear in Lin Tian''s heart.


    Not only that, Lin Tian also felt that the power around his body had increased by several times.


    "Kill!" The current Lin Tian only had one thought in his mind!

 C442 Horns to self-detonate

    That devil''s power was now much stronger than before, so he was the first to act.


    Little Grass, who originally wanted to wrap around his demonic body, was now snapped by him.


    That grass vine suddenly shrank and went back into Lin Tian''s body.


    At the same time, the devil also attacked the ice silkworm.


    "Pah!" The ice silkworm was so scared that it became confused and disoriented.


    "If it was the Nine Transformation Heaven Silkworm, I wouldn''t have been able to fight back at all. If it spat out a mouthful of cold air, I would have died, but an ice silkworm that hasn''t even reached the second transformation is still too weak in my eyes!" The devil was extremely arrogant at this moment. In the blink of an eye, he had dispelled the attacks of the grass and the ice silkworm.


    Not only that, the demon continuously made his move, sending Lin Tian''s Dragon Scale Spear flying with a palm.


    Just now, the Dragon Scale Spear had absorbed Lin Tian''s blood essence and had also turned into a dragon body, wanting to help kill that demon.


    However, the Dragonscale Spear was only a weapon after all, and it did not possess that much power.


    With this confrontation with the devil, it was clear who was superior.


    After using so many techniques to suppress the demon, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly charged at the demon.


    At this moment, the devil once again took action. His palm directly blasted apart the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol''s Dragon Soul Body.


    The nine coiling dragon souls let out a wail and then disappeared from the world.


    At this time, Lin Tian also felt the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol inside his own Divine Manor mournfully cry out before completely falling silent.


    "Break!" The devil continued to attack. This time, he used his palm to completely destroy the dragon soul body formed by the ancient dragon talisman.


    However, that was after all the Dragon Soul Body formed by the Ancestral Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol. It wouldn''t be destroyed that easily.


    However, even so, he was still directly struck down by the devil and no longer had the ability to fight.


    This series of dazzling attacks were all completed in just a few moments.


    Because, until now, Lin Tian still could not fly in front of the demon. From that, it could be seen that the speed of the demon''s attacks was terrifying. The key point was that the demon''s power was too strong.


    The demon from before wasn''t that strong.


    Of course, the reason why the devil could so quickly dispose of the little grass and the ice silkworm was because the little grass and the ice silkworm hadn''t fully grown yet.


    As for instantly overturning the coiling dragon spirit rune and the ancient dragon rune''s dragon soul, that was Lin Tian''s reason.


    In the end, it was still because Lin Tian was not strong. If Lin Tian was strong enough, with the support of his mental strength, he could have killed any one of the dragon souls. But now, Lin Tian''s strength was limited, and it greatly restricted the use of the two spirit talismans ¡­


    At this moment, the devil fiercely rushed towards the Horned Demon.


    Although Horned Dragon was a fake dragon, it was a true dragon soul. Moreover, it had just absorbed Lin Tian''s blood essence.


    Lin Tian''s blood essence gave the Horned Demon a physical strength.


    Therefore, the power of the Horned Demon was much stronger.


    However, in front of that demon, even if it was a Horned Demon, he didn''t have the ability to resist.


    The devil had actually suppressed Horned Demon with a single palm strike.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to rush in front of the devil, the Horned Demon slapped the Horned Demon over with his palm and suppressed him ¡­


    "You, you actually unsealed your strength!" At this moment, Horned Demon also shouted.


    But after seeing that Lin Tian had arrived in front of the demon, Horned Demon once again fiercely roared at Lin Tian: "Boy, quickly run. This bastard unsealed his power!"


    Although Lin Tian did not know what was the meaning of unsealing his power, from Horned Demon''s tone, Lin Tian heard deep fear and also fear ¡­ ¡­


    "It''s too late to leave now!" The devil suddenly stomped on the Horned Demon.


    He firmly suppressed the Horned Demon under his feet.


    In the next moment, the devil suddenly attacked. It opened its mouth and roared toward the sky, "Devil ancestor, give me your power. Demon Domain, seal!"


    Just as these words were uttered, the entire black fog forest instantly became restless.


    At this moment, the endless demonic energy was charging at that devil.


    Streams of terrifying power continuously rushed towards the devil. At the same time, without the corrosive power of the demonic energy, the entire black fog instantly turned into black, withered trees.


    At this moment, Ling Wuji, who was standing outside the forest, suddenly felt the ground shake.


    He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the forbidden area of Navy Tide.


    At this moment, the black aura in the entire Navy Tide Forbidden Land had completely disappeared.


    The originally lush and verdant forest was now as if it had lost all of its vitality, withering and dying.


    "How could this be?" Ling Wuji looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.


    How could the dark energy in the forbidden area of Navy Tide suddenly disappear?


    How could these trees suddenly wither and die?


    Could it be that kid?


    Ling Wuji immediately thought of Lin Tian.


    However, after hesitating for a while, Ling Wuji suppressed his desire to enter the Navy Tide Forbidden Land to investigate.


    He was the Great Elder of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, and the entire sect needed him. Lin Tian might be a genius, but he wasn''t worthy of him paying the price of his life to investigate ¡­


    At this time, the space between Lin Tian and the devil was completely covered by black qi, forming a unique barrier that completely enveloped Lin Tian and the devil ¡­


    "It''s over!" Horned Demon''s pupils suddenly shrank. This time, it was all over.


    This devil actually used the power of a domain, which also meant that the devil''s strength was at least at the Emperor Stage. Not to mention the demon race''s methods, just the strength collision alone meant that Lin Tian was completely not the devil''s opponent.


    But it was indeed too late to leave now. Once he released his domain power, Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to run even if he wanted to ¡­ ¡­


    Horned Demon was thinking all sorts of plans, but he never thought that this Demon would actually be crazy and unseal his power.


    When demons entered the Sky Dragon Continent, their powers would be suppressed by the laws of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    Therefore, if he wanted to stay in the Sky Dragon Continent for a long period of time, he had to seal his own power to lessen the impact of the power of laws.


    However, once the power was unsealed, the devil would quickly be repressed by the Heavenly Dragon Continent''s power of laws, and even directly killed off by the Heavenly Dragon Continent''s power of laws.


    This was the inconceivable part about Horned Demon. Horned Demon originally thought that he would keep fighting with them, but he never would have thought that Lin Tian suddenly awakened the power of the Ancestral Dragon in his body, which attracted the attention of the devil.


    So, that devil wanted to remove his power and quickly kill Lin Tian ¡­


    It would take time for Sky Dragon Continent to subdue the power of laws to kill this demon race, at least not now.


    And that devil, he must have had this idea. A huge time difference was enough for that devil to kill Lin Tian ¡­


    Thinking of this, Hornless became somewhat powerless.


    Lin Tian was the dragon race''s last hope. If Lin Tian died, then the next era would be the dragon clan''s doomsday!


    Thinking of this, a trace of malice burst out from Horned Demon''s eyes.


    As matters stood, it seemed that there was only one way left ¡­


    Thinking of this, Horned Demon immediately stopped hesitating and started to rapidly mobilize the power around his body.


    Horned Demon''s body instantly swelled up.


    "Hmm?" At this moment, the devil also discovered that something was amiss.


    "You want to self-destruct?" The demon coldly snorted. With another palm, he shattered the Horned Demon''s body. "Then, you still have to have the ability to do so ¡­"


    "You deserve to die!" Seeing the Demon''s actions, Lin Tian''s body that was trapped by the demonic qi immediately had his eyes turn red.


    Just now, the devil had almost gathered all of the demonic energy in the black fog to this place, forming a domain of seal.


    At this moment, even before Lin Tian made his move, he was already imprisoned.


    But seeing Hornless being treated like that, Lin Tian couldn''t help but be unable to hold it in.


    He also instantly understood Horned Demon''s thoughts. Horned Demon''s goal was to self-destruct, explode this domain, and let Lin Tian safely get out.


    But the more it was like this, the more Lin Tian''s heart felt like it was being stabbed!

 C443 Nine blood thunder!

    "You ¡ª deserve ¡ª to die!" Lin Tian abruptly roared out.


    His body suddenly started to tremble. Not long later, veins started popping out all over his body and his face flushed red to the extreme.


    He was frantically resisting the force that was trapping him.


    It was a pity that the real strength of this devil was that of an Emperor Stage powerhouse. With this kind of domain power, an existence that had just advanced to the Life and Death Realm, like Lin Tian, had no way of resisting that power.


    "Give up, I never thought that you would possess the bloodline of an Ancestral Dragon. However, you forced me to release my powers and perish together with you, it seems that you have profited ¡­" The demon waved towards Lin Tian and said with a smile.


    But just as the devil waved his hand, something strange happened.


    Lin Tian unexpectedly, uncontrollably arrived in front of the demon.


    "It''s really my first time encountering such delicious blood ¡­" The Demon General greedily sized up Lin Tian.


    At this time, Lin Tian was very close to the devil and could almost completely see the devil''s appearance, but the current Lin Tian had a face full of hatred. At this moment, he wished he could directly tear this demon into pieces.


    However, that devil attacked first.


    He also knew that the power of laws in the Sky Dragon Continent would definitely not fuse with his, so he had to kill this brat before that power of laws descended, so as to not leave behind any future troubles ¡­


    Thinking of this, the devil no longer hesitated. His five fingers grasped and directly pierced through Lin Tian''s dantian.


    Currently, Lin Tian was still in the body of the dragon.


    Lin Tian felt a pain in his dantian as his entire body began to twitch.


    But at this moment, when Lin Tian''s consciousness was about to fade, he seemed to hear Horned Demon whispering in his ear: "Brat, I''m sorry, I can''t accompany you anymore. You can walk the rest of the path by yourself, but unfortunately, I won''t be able to see you restore my Dragon clan''s glory.


    As he spoke, Horned Demon suddenly let out a light sigh. He had assisted eight descendants of the Dragon Transformation token. Adding Lin Tian to that, it was the ninth.


    However, out of the first eight, none of them could complete the final mission of the dragon clan.


    Only Lin Tian, Hornless saw a trace of hope on Lin Tian''s body.


    Although it was only a sliver, it was still worth it to exchange for it with its life.


    Born to be a dragon, he had to work hard for the revival of the dragon race!


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly became clear-headed because he heard a huge explosion.


    "Bang, bang bang bang!"


    In an instant, the sound of an endless explosion reverberated through the entire black fog.


    Lin Tian was completely awake.


    He already knew what had happened.


    The Horned Demon self-detonated...


    For Lin Tian''s safety, Horned Demon chose to self-destruct ¡­


    A huge explosion sounded, completely blowing up the domain formed by the devil.


    He no longer had the power of a domain to obstruct Lin Tian.


    At the same time, Lin Tian''s body suddenly relaxed.


    The devil was also seriously injured by the Horned Demon''s explosion.


    At this moment, the demonic aura on his body was continuously dissipating. Not long later, his enormous demonic body had already shrunk by quite a lot.


    His body was covered in wounds. They were filled with demonic spiritual energy, making it impossible for him to heal.


    Not only that, but after the horned dragon self-detonated, the power of the dragon soul spread in all directions.


    It completely annihilated all the surrounding demonic energy.


    Finally, after the annihilation of that power, the entire black fog forest was restored.


    The dead trees began to sprout again.


    This sprout began to grow rapidly, and the originally lifeless black fog began to radiate with life once more.


    As for Lin Tian, the dantian that was just torn apart, under the nourishment of the huge amount of blood qi, quickly healed as well.


    But at the same time, in the sky, powerful lightning energies began to converge.


    Only, this time, the power of thunder was the power of thunder that had never appeared before on the Sky Dragon Continent.


    A blood-red thunder.


    Not only that, there were a total of nine crimson lightning bolts.


    The nine bolts of blood gathered like crazy and roared above the devil''s head, creating a loud noise.


    "The nine blood thunder really thinks highly of me!" The devil looked up at the sky with disdain in his eyes.


    "Before the nine lightning strikes kill me, I can guarantee that you will be the first to die!" The Demon turned around and laughed loudly at Lin Tian, then rushed towards Lin Tian.


    "I will cut you into a thousand pieces and turn you into ashes!" Lin Tian was currently in extreme pain and was already somewhat numb.


    He only had one thought in his mind.


    It was to crush, kill, and hack this demon in front of his eyes into a thousand pieces, turning it into ashes and leaving it with no chance for survival!


    Thus, Lin Tian''s body moved.


    He roared crazily in that instant, and his body actually grew back a few dozen feet.


    The current him was the same size as the dragon souls from before, even larger.


    But at the same time, the first blood lightning in the sky came crashing down, striking the devil.


    The devil''s body was blown to smithereens by the blood lightning.


    However, the body of the devil was once again formed.


    But at this time, Lin Tian raised his head to look at the sky. He angrily roared at the nine Blood Lighting in the sky: "Earlier, when I told you to come out, you didn''t come out. Now that Horned Demon is dead, do you know that you came out?"


    "Too late, he''s mine. None of you should even think about moving!" Lin Tian roared again.


    "Rumble..." In the sky, the sound of thunder could be heard. It was as if the words that Lin Tian said just now made him extremely angry. At this moment, he was venting his anger at Lin Tian.


    "You still dare to treat me like this!" Lin Tian''s eyes had now completely turned blood-red.


    "I told you to retreat!" Lin Tian opened his mouth and shouted. He was actually berating the power of thunder in the sky.


    "Rumble..." In the sky, the power of the nine blood lightning bolts was even more terrifying. When they collided, it seemed as though this area could be razed to the ground.


    "I say ¡ª ¡ª" Lin Tian opened his mouth again. At this moment, his bloodshot eyes stared at the sky: "Back off!"


    Following Lin Tian''s furious roar, in the next moment, two small blood-red dragons drilled out from Lin Tian''s eyes, and completely charged towards the nine blood-red lightning bolts in the sky.

 C444 Im giving you death!

    The nine streaks of blood lightning were furious in the beginning, but when the small dragon that came out of Lin Tian''s bloody eyes arrived in front of the nine streaks of blood lightning, the nine streaks of blood lightning immediately became submissive. The lightning that had originally gathered and was about to land, began to hover and show signs of retreating.


    The devil looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. He didn''t know what Lin Tian''s actions meant.


    However, it was the first time the demon had seen something like this ¡­


    It was truly terrifying.


    However, it was a good thing that Lin Tian Lie had shouted out the thunder. At the very least, he did not have to worry about the punishment that would come from the power of laws in the Sky Dragon Continent ¡­


    But at the same time, Lin Tian did not stay idle. His body lightly trembled and from his body, an ice silkworm came out.


    These were the icy silkworms. It was a pity that the nine arcs of thunder had disappeared just like this.


    Although Lin Tian was angry, he wasn''t so muddle-headed as to do so.


    These nine blood lightning were the best nourishment for the Icy Jade Silkworm. Lin Tian had no reason to waste this power of thunder.


    The ice silkworm rushed up into the sky, and the two little blood-red dragons that had yelled back the nine blood lightning bolts flew back down from the sky, falling into Lin Tian''s eyes.


    With this, Lin Tian no longer cared about what happened in the sky.


    Next, it was time to completely strangle this demon ¡­


    The reason why Lin Tian shouted the thunder was very simple. This devil, only he could kill him. The power of thunder in the sky didn''t have the qualifications!


    Because this bastard had forced himself to self-destruct.


    "Hornless, I''m sorry. This time, I wasted your effort ¡­" Lin Tian muttered to himself. In the end, his gaze stared unwaveringly at the demon.


    "Only I can kill you, remember!" Lin Tian did not hesitate at all and directly began to wildly mobilize the power around his body.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian''s hands lightly tapped. The blood aura on his body immediately began to violently churn, like a great river, or like boiling water.


    The bloody aura soared to the sky and dyed the entire black fog forest in a golden color.


    In the next moment, an endless bloody aura completely wrapped around the demon.


    AHH!" "As the bloody aura rushed towards the devil, the devil''s miserable shriek was immediately heard.


    The devil stared fixedly at Lin Tian: "You, you actually, actually ¡­. You actually ¡­."


    The demon did not finish his words because in the next moment, his body had completely crumbled and turned into a wave of black smoke ¡­


    But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly retracted his hand, as if he was waiting for something ¡­


    Before long, the clumps of black gas once again condensed into the body of the devil.


    But at this moment, Lin Tian once again lightly tapped on the demon''s body. After that, he still said the same cold sentence: "Kill!"


    At this time, from Lin Tian''s bloodshot eyes, two more small blood-red dragons drilled out.


    The two little dragons howled and pierced through the demon''s body ¡­


    The devil''s body once again collapsed, turning into strands of black demonic aura.


    Lin Tian stopped his hand once again ¡­


    Before long, the devil''s body was completely formed again under the demonic spiritual energy.


    But Lin Tian did not hesitate and fiercely shouted again: "Kill again!"


    This time, Lin Tian opened his mouth and spat out a blood-red dragon. This time, the demonic body hadn''t even fully formed before it was once again crushed and dissipated.


    Lin Tian stopped his hand once again.


    His goal was quite obvious. He wanted this devil to experience all kinds of ways to die.


    He wanted to die from the thunder, that would be letting him off too easily.


    Horned Demon''s death. Lin Tian wanted to let this devil experience a pain that was ten thousand to tens of thousands of times worse!


    Only in this way would Lin Tian be able to obtain a temporary peace in his heart ¡­


    Dozens of times like this, the nine lightning bolts in the sky were currently being swallowed by the ice silkworm and returned back into Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian could feel that after this absorption of the nine blood lightning bolts, as long as he completely digested and absorbed the ice silkworm, he would be able to reach the second transformation of the heavenly silkworm.


    "Kill!" In the next instant, when the devil appeared again, Lin Tian bellowed again.


    The devil did not even have the time to speak as he was killed by Lin Tian over ten times.


    Of course, every time it was "killed", the demon would lose a portion of its strength.


    At the beginning, that demon could completely reform and take form in an instant.


    However, in the end, every time it was formed, it was extremely difficult and would require a large amount of time.


    Until the very end, even a few minutes, or even a quarter of an hour, had been taken.


    Only this time did Lin Tian finally wait for the devil to completely take shape.


    "How do you feel?" This time, Lin Tian spoke. Finally, he did not use the word "kill" with incomparable sharpness, but asked the devil about his current feelings.


    The devil was on the verge of collapsing.


    This Lin Tian was simply too terrifying. He was completely unable to resist. Of course, he also knew that it was because Lin Tian had suddenly awakened the sacred art and power of that ancestral dragon''s blood essence.


    Before an ordinary dragon tribe, this demon might not be afraid at all. It might even be able to gain the upper hand in a battle.


    But in front of the Ancestral Dragon, this devil has no ability to resist at all. What happened just now is the best form of proof ¡­


    "If you have the ability, then kill me!" The devil violently gasped for breath as he looked towards the horizon.


    "Killing you is too easy. I already said it, I can''t possibly let you die so easily ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled and then rejected the devil''s suggestion.


    "I also know what you are thinking, don''t even think about begging for help. With me here, you only have one ending today, and that is death ¡­" Lin Tian glanced at the demon. It seemed like he had clearly grasped the demon''s heart.


    "Die! I will drag you down with me!" The devil roared crazily. Then, it gathered powerful moqi and quickly formed a huge ball of moqi.


    "I want to self-destruct. Sorry, I don''t agree!" Lin Tian gently said, then suddenly pointed at the huge ball of demonic Qi and said: "Repel!"


    In the next moment, an inconceivable thing happened. The ball of demonic aura, which was gathering the devils and was about to self-destruct, suddenly started to repel each other and then separate from each other ¡­


    The devil looked at Lin Tian in shock. Right now, the most painful thing about him was that he wanted to die but couldn''t ¡­ ¡­


    The right to self-destruct was taken away by Lin Tian ¡­


    "Alright, now, I''ll grant you death!" In the blink of an eye, countless small dragons rushed out of Lin Tian''s body. At this moment, those small dragons crazily pounced on the devil and began to crazily bite and chew on the devil''s devil body ¡­

 C445 A sliver of remnant soul

    "No, no, you can''t kill me. If you kill me, the devil ancestor will definitely be furious. The devil ancestor can make you disappear with a finger ¡­"


    The devil didn''t say the word "kill" from start to finish.


    In the next moment, all of the monstrous demonic energy had been completely devoured by the small dragon that came out of Lin Tian''s body.


    Those small dragons returned to Lin Tian''s body like dragons returning to the sea.


    However, at this moment, after devouring the devil''s demonic energy, those dragons had become more solid and powerful.


    This was the benefit.


    Lin Tian possessed the blood essence of the Ancestral Dragon, so he was the successor of the Ancestral Dragon.


    The dragon race and the demons themselves were born to be mortal enemies.


    In this way, the devouring of dragons by the demons would increase their power, and vice versa.


    Lin Tian could absorb that demonic qi, and also, it could greatly increase Lin Tian''s cultivation.


    At this moment, countless of small dragons were devouring demonic energy, just waiting to absorb it.


    As for that devil, at this moment, he completely vanished.


    "Hornless ¡­" After exterminating the devil, Lin Tian Deng immediately thought of the Horned Demon.


    But at this moment, there was no trace of the horned figure.


    "Is Hornless really dead?" Lin Tian suddenly became a bit distracted. His body was currently trembling nonstop. Not long after, he had changed from the body of a dragon back into the appearance of a human.


    But at this moment, he could still believe that Hornless was dead.


    With a slight shake of his right hand, he summoned the Celestial Mouse out. "Hornless, does it still have a way to revive?"


    Right now, he could only ask the Celestial Mouse, since it was a primordial mutated beast and had lived for god knows how many years. Perhaps, it might be able to understand these things.


    Although the Celestial Mouse was hidden in Lin Tian''s right hand, he had seen everything with his own eyes.


    So at this moment, it could very well understand Lin Tian''s feelings, but it had no choice but to speak the truth: "Little brat, I understand your feelings, but that fake dragon really doesn''t exist anymore ¡­ ¡­"


    The Celestial Mouse possessed a spirit nose, allowing it to sniff out any kind of scent. However, at this moment, there was no longer any trace of that hornless aura left in this world.


    After all, Horned Demon was only a dragon soul body and it was in an extremely weak state. After this self-detonation, his soul and spirit were naturally destroyed, never to be seen again.


    "I''m not dead yet, cough cough ¡­" At this moment, a tiny Dragon Soul Body suddenly appeared in the air.


    "Hornless, you''re actually not dead yet?" Lin Tian was very happy at this time and stared unwaveringly at the half of a dragon soul body in the sky.


    He originally thought that Horned Demon was dead, but he didn''t expect him to still be alive.


    "Eh, that''s not right ¡­" Right at this moment, the Celestial Mouse couldn''t help but open his mouth.


    This was completely wrong. That fake dragon had clearly exploded and died, so how could it still be alive?


    With this thought in mind, the Celestial Mouse immediately began to revolve the spiritual eye in the center of his forehead and examine this tiny dragon soul body.


    "There''s no need to investigate. Even if I didn''t die, I''m fine. I''ve already been destroyed in body and spirit. I only have this remnant soul consciousness left ¡­" Horned Demon said to the two of them with a wry smile.


    "What?" After hearing this news, Lin Tian was like a thunderbolt in a clear sky as he forcefully smashed his head.


    He thought that the Horned Demon wasn''t dead, and judging from his posture, he should be fine.


    But now it seemed that he was wrong.


    Unexpectedly, Hornless still had trouble escaping death.


    "Brat, you don''t need to be sad. Wait until you can save the Dragon clan. You might not be able to reconstruct my body and recreate my divine soul ¡­" Horned Demon comforted her and then said, "It''s just that I can''t accompany you to see that day anymore. The reason I''ve chosen to persist until now is because I want to say a few more words to you."


    "The future is up to you. You have to persevere on and not give up halfway ¡­"


    As Horned Demon spoke, the remaining remnant spirit became more and more transparent.


    Lin Tian was in extreme grief. Hornless had followed Lin Tian from the beginning. He was the witness that Lin Tian had walked all the way and was also a participant.


    But he didn''t expect that up to this point, Hornless wanted to part ways with him.


    But after a moment of silence, Lin Tian suddenly thought of a method.


    "Dragon Transformation Token!" Lin Tian immediately began to act quickly.


    Before, Horned Demon had said that the Dragon Transformation Token had all sorts of inconceivable might, but he didn''t know if it would be able to revive the Horned Demon ¡­


    Lin Tian quickly began activating the Dragon Transformation Token in front of him.


    Inside Lin Tian''s Dantian, the Dragon Transformation token began to rapidly spin.


    Lin Tian looked at the Dragon Transformation Token in disbelief, his heart full of amazement.


    Originally, after the Dragon Transformation token entered Lin Tian''s body, it didn''t have any movement.


    Earlier, Lin Tian only had the attitude of testing it out and didn''t know if he could activate the Dragon Transformation token or not.


    However, she didn''t expect that the Dragon Transformation token would be activated the moment she activated it ¡­


    The Dragon Transformation token immediately rushed out of Lin Tian''s body. However, this time, the Dragon Transformation token directly arrived in front of the horned dragon soul.


    Horned Dragon''s soul was immediately sucked into the Dragonize Medallion.


    With the protection of the Dragon Transformation token, Horned Dragon naturally didn''t need to worry.


    The Celestial Mouse suddenly cried out in alarm, "This is the Dragon Transformation Token?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head.


    "I never expected that the Dragon Transformation Token would have such a usage. However, I need not worry about it in this way."


    "Don''t worry about what?"


    "I believe that this Dragon Transformation Token is able to protect the last thread of the fake dragon''s soul. After that, if your strength reaches a certain level, you can of course revive this fake dragon ¡­" The Celestial Mouse was experienced and knowledgeable. Without the help of the Horned Demon Race, Ling Tian would inevitably have a lot of things to ask this Celestial Mouse.


    "Alright, brat, hurry up and leave. It seems that someone is coming ¡­" At this moment, the Celestial Mouse spoke again.


    Lin Tian''s mental strength had also greatly improved after breaking through the Life and Death Realm.


    At this moment, he was also releasing his mental energy, immediately detecting the identity of the person that the Celestial Mouse was talking about.


    It was none other than the Peak Master of the 9th mountain ¡­


    It turned out that just now, after the Horned Demon had self-destructed, Horned Dragon''s power, combined with Lin Tian''s blood power, had completely devoured all of the demonic energy in the entire Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    At this moment, the black fog in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land had disappeared. Not only that, even the trees had turned into withered trees due to the disappearance of the demonic energy. However, under the strength of the Horned Demon, the endless withered trees started to rapidly grow again.


    Some of the dead trees had already sprouted.


    Ling Wuji, who was waiting outside, finally noticed something like this in the forbidden area of Navy Tide.


    Not only that, but the other Peak Masters of the other peaks had also arrived in succession to see this unbelievable scene.


    Therefore, they ventured into the outskirts of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    What surprised them was that after the demonic energy in the forbidden area had disappeared, the corrosive power that had been there before had also completely vanished.


    Right now, the Navy Tide Forbidden Land could no longer be called a Forbidden Land.


    They walked for a long time, but they did not find anything out of the ordinary. It was as if they had entered an ordinary forest.


    With this, they immediately began heading towards the depths of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land ¡­


    Feeling their arrival, Lin Tian didn''t stay any longer.


    Next, he had to leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid wasting his breath.


    At this moment, Horned Demon had confirmed that there was still a sliver of life left. As for what happened after that, he could only wait until later.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate anymore and directly rushed outside.


    At this moment, without that devil, that large valley had completely fallen into silence.


    Not long after, the earth began to tremble violently. In the end, the power of the trembling caused the entire valley to be reduced to flat ground.


    All the traces from earlier, including those from Lin Tian''s battle, had disappeared without a trace. There were no longer any traces left ¡­


    "Lin Tian, you really didn''t die?" Not long after Lin Tian left, just as he had expected, he and Ling Wuji ran into each other.


    The one who asked was Ling Wuji.


    Seeing Ling Wuji and the others, Lin Tian kneeled down: "Disciple Lin Tian, thankfully you did not fail your mission. That Green Roc King is already dead ¡­"


    Everyone was astonished. They never thought that the first sentence Lin Tian said would actually be this.


    However, they were all incomparably curious. This Lin Tian, how did he survive in the black fog forest?


    One had to know that no one had been able to come out alive from the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    Ling Wuji immediately helped Lin Tian up. Then, he softly said: "If you''re fine, it''s the best news. Compared to you, the Green Roc King is far inferior ¡­"


    These words caused Lin Tian to be moved, but he also became increasingly vigilant. He knew that these people would most likely ask him what had happened in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land ¡­


    Just as expected, in the next moment, Ling Wuyou opened his mouth and asked: "Lin Tian, let me ask you, what exactly happened in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land? Why did the black mist suddenly disappear? "Also, how did the Azure Roc King die?"


    Ling Wuji didn''t say anything at this moment, but Ling Wuji was incredibly astonished in his heart. The moment he had helped Lin Tian up, he had felt Lin Tian''s current strength.


    This kid had actually reached life and death in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land?


    However, Ling Wuji did not make a sound, and quietly listened to Lin Tian''s answer, as if he wanted to know what kind of answer Lin Tian would give him.

 C446 Tongue like a spring

    "Reporting to the various Peak Masters ¡­" Lin Tian took a good look at the expressions on everyone''s faces. He then said, "It''s like this. The moment I entered, I felt that there was something wrong with the black air. It seems like there is some kind of power constantly corroding my body ¡­ ¡­"


    Those people nodded their heads. Their gazes all gathered on Lin Tian as if they wanted to know what happened next.


    Ling Wuyou continued asking, "And then?"


    "Then, then..." Lin Tian''s expression immediately became fearful, as if he had thought of something bad.


    "I feel all the strength in my body retreating non-stop, retreating. I have no choice, I anxiously seek medical treatment, and directly swallowed the Zhuyan Spirit Fruit that I obtained ¡­" Lin Tian continued.


    "Huh?" The few people had doubtful expressions on their faces, but they immediately nodded in understanding.


    It was actually normal for someone to indiscriminately seek medical treatment, and this kid didn''t know how terrifying the Navy Tide Forbidden Land was. Being able to think of consuming the Zhu Yan spirit fruit was something that came to his senses in the nick of time.


    "And then?" Ling Wuyou asked impatiently.


    "Later on, the Azure Roc King kept on chasing after me. I don''t know whether it wanted to kill me later, or if it wanted the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit in my hands ¡­" Lin Tian continued to answer.


    "Why do you say that?" Ling Wuyou slightly frowned as he sensed that something was amiss with Lin Tian''s words.


    "Because, in the beginning, the Cyan Roc King wanted to kill me and take back the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit. However, after entering the black forest, the Azure Roc King started howling madly ¡­" Lin Tian''s heart still had some lingering fear as he said: "Moreover, that roar is definitely not any normal roar. On the contrary, it was probably suppressed by some kind of power. It had no choice but to resist, so it let out a tragic roar ¡­"


    Saying this, Lin Tian looked at everyone and then said: "Actually, disciple has guessed that the fog in the black fog forest is a bit strange, so I guess that the Green Roc King was suppressed by the black fog in the forest ¡­ ¡­"


    After saying this, the others immediately became silent.


    After a while, Ling Wuji sighed and said, "I didn''t expect you to be so vigilant at such a young age. You are truly not bad ¡­"


    Lin Tian was slightly stunned as he looked towards Ling Wuji.


    "You''re right, the mist in this forest is indeed very strange. This place is also known as the Navy Tide Forbidden Land because before this place, there was a mountain called Navy Tide Mountain Range. But afterwards, for some reason, it turned out like this overnight ¡­"


    Ling Wuji sighed and continued, "In the past, after this place was formed, the ancestors of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect did not know what place this place is. After people went into this forest to investigate, you should be able to guess the final result. None of these ancestors came back alive, and they all died in this forbidden land of Navy Tide."


    "So, later on, this place was banned and no one was allowed to enter ¡­"


    "In the past several hundred years, you''re the only person who has entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land ¡­" Speaking of that, Ling Wuji added, "And he is the only one who made it out alive ¡­"


    As he said this, the other Peak Masters all looked at Lin Tian with a strange gaze. They were currently very curious as to how Lin Tian had managed to survive in the black fog forest.


    Lin Tian suddenly understood. No wonder he had seen countless human corpses along the way.


    They were probably the corpses of the ancestors who mistakenly entered this place.


    Thinking about it, no matter how strong the ancestors of the Virtuous Cloud Sect were, they would only be corroded and devoured by the devil''s evil qi ¡­


    He knew that Ling Wuji would also want to know how he made it out alive.


    I see that something is wrong with the Green Roc King, and I immediately choose to turn back, but it is strange, after I swallowed the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, I discovered that I have inexhaustible strength in my entire body. Moreover, I had previously cultivated a few body tempering cultivation techniques, and my physique is different from an ordinary person''s, so I condensed an Origin Energy barrier outside my body to resist the corrosion of the black qi ¡­


    "I have such a method, but the Green Roc King does not ¡­"


    Lin Tian slowly said.


    I kept returning to a place not too far away from the Azure Roc King, and I waited until the Azure Roc King had died completely. I knew that an opportunity must not be lost, and it would never come back again, so after the Azure Roc King''s fleshly body was corroded, I took out the Azure Roc King''s Beast Core and all the blood in his body ¡­.


    Hearing this, the others frowned. They didn''t seem to understand the purpose of his actions.


    Lin Tian acted as if he did not notice and continued to speak: "After I collect all of those things, we''ll head towards the depths of the black fog forest ¡­ ¡­"


    "Deep in?" Their frown deepened.


    According to their speculations and the investigations of the ancestors, the deeper one went into the forbidden area of Navy Tide, the denser the black corrosive aura was and the more terrifying the corrosive power was. It was impossible for ordinary people to resist such power.


    If this brat were to enter, he would probably die a little faster ¡­


    Thinking of this, they immediately became vigilant.


    Lin Tian continued to mince his words as he said: "I walked further in, but discovered that the deeper I go, the denser the black fog gets. At the start, I could still endure within the black fog, but later on, I found that I could not hold on any longer. That demonic energy is too terrifying ¡­"


    "I did not hesitate and directly swallowed that Green Roc King''s inner core to recover my strength. In addition, I still have a lot of Spirit Stones on me to recover my strength. I waited until my strength had completely recovered before I stood up again and walked forward again ¡­"


    But when he said this, Ling Wuyou couldn''t help but interrupt Lin Tian''s words, and then he said: "Brat, I do want to ask you, since you can feel that within the black fog forest, the deeper you go, the more terrifying the black fog will be, but why are you still going in?"


    With that said, everyone''s gazes all landed on Lin Tian.


    Lin knew that if he hesitated, these people would immediately think he was lying.


    Thus, Lin Tian did not hesitate. He raised his head and looked at Ling Wuyou''s gaze. He only said one word: "Gamble!"

 C447 Winning a bet

    "A bet?" Ling Wuyou was even more confused.


    "This is my nature ¡­" Lin Tian lightly nodded his head: "This dark fog forest is endless, moreover, at that time, the Green Roc King and I had already entered very deep into the forest. If we wanted to walk out, firstly, we might not necessarily be in the right direction, and if we were to enter a desperate situation, there is only one path left for us to walk out from. Secondly, even if I wanted to go back, I''m afraid that I would be powerless.


    Lin Tian''s analysis was quite thorough and everyone nodded their heads.


    "Then what do you mean by bet?" Ling Wuyou asked again.


    "I bet there''s a chance for survival in this dense forest!" Lin Tian spoke indifferently, but his tone was indescribably firm. "Hmm?" This time, everyone looked at Lin Tian with unkind eyes.


    They now all think that this brat is lying. At the beginning, he made it up to be rather decent, but later on, he became more and more unlike it ¡­


    All the bets and chances of survival were lies!


    However, Lin Tian''s gaze was still so firm. Even his tone was so incomparably firm.


    The other Peak Masters were suspicious, but Ling Wuji was confused.


    Truth be told, he didn''t really believe what Lin Tian said, but the result was that Lin Tian had safely walked out. This wasn''t fake at all.


    "I know that everyone might not believe me if I tell the truth, but I still have to say that everything I said was true. Moreover, I won the bet!"


    Lin Tian said again.


    The crowd''s thoughts were revealed by Lin Tian and they no longer continued to stare at Lin Tian. Instead, their gazes turned to Ling Tian Ji.


    Ling Tian could be considered as the Peak Master of Bu Fang Mountain. His main purpose was to deduce the profundity of the Heavenly Dao and to see through the hearts of his disciples.


    At this moment, the Peak Masters looked towards Ling Tianzhi. How could Ling Tian not understand what they were saying?


    But, the current Ling Tian really did not dare to be counted as this brat called Lin Tian.


    Let''s not talk about this brat''s fate. Before, he had tried to calculate this kid''s fate, but he didn''t want to think about the consequences.


    He didn''t want to forget the pain after his scar healed.


    However, although it was impossible to calculate Lin Tian''s fate, it was still possible to test if he was lying.


    Ling Tianji took out a bronze coin, placed it in his palm, and then handed it over to Lin Tian.


    "Lin Tian brat, you''re a smart person, so you should be able to tell that we don''t really believe your words, so I''ll use this test to test if you''re lying. Do you mind if I tell you the truth ¡­?" Ling Tianzhi said indifferently.


    "I am not lying at all, I am naturally not afraid of anything ¡­" Lin Tian softly said, not refusing in the slightest.


    Ling Tian then chuckled and said, "If that''s the case, then it can''t be any better. You can continue ¡­"


    Lin Tian fearlessly spoke again: "Disciple has indeed won the bet ¡­"


    This sentence had a deep meaning, but the others didn''t seem to understand the other meaning behind Lin Tian''s words.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that Ling Tian was calculating.


    Previously, there had been someone who had schemed against his fate and Lin Tianxin had sensed it.


    But unfortunately, his fate was something that no one on this Sky Dragon Continent could predict. If anyone were to infer it, they would be punished by the backlash of the Heavenly Energy, but if it was serious, they would very likely be struck down by lightning and directly killed.


    This was Lin Tian''s real trump card.


    He had won the bet. He had seen Ling Tian''s calculations just now, and it was all for the sake of betting that Ling Tian would not really dare to take his fate into consideration again.


    But unfortunately, Ling Tian had received a lesson before, so naturally he could not take the risk to plot against Lin Tian again.


    Actually, if he had only calculated whether Lin Tian was lying or not, he would have been able to easily calculate that everything that had just happened was all made up by Lin Tian.


    But he did not dare to. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of being bitten by grass for ten years. What he said was Ling Tian''s current state of mind ¡­


    In this way, Lin Tian naturally was even less afraid. This method of testing lies was useless against him.


    This was because he still had the Celestial Mouse ¡­


    What Lin Tian said about winning the bet was actually this.


    Everyone''s gaze once again gathered on Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian continued to say: "Disciple thinks that in this black fog forest, although there is that black fog, the trees are lush and verdant. This is precisely the desperate situation where you leave a thread of life ¡­"


    "That''s why I''m making a bold guess that there must be a safe place in the black fog forest. Disciple is betting on whether I can find a safe place ¡­"


    "Thankfully, I made the right choice. I found a safe place ¡­"


    "Mm, a safe place. What place are you talking about?" A few people''s interest was immediately piqued.


    It was truly a bit inconceivable that someone had actually found a safe place in the Navy Tide Forbidden Area.


    "In the middle of this forest, there is a huge blank area. In that area, there is no black mist. Furthermore, there is nothing in that area, not even trees ¡­" Lin Tian answered resolutely.


    "What?" With this, everyone was somewhat shocked.


    They had never thought that there would be such a place without the black corrosive aura in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    "If the Peak Masters do not believe it, you can go and take a look ¡­" Lin Tian replied once again.


    They exchanged glances, then Ling Wuyou spoke again: "Alright, then I want to ask you, since you said that there is a safe zone in the center of the Navy Tide Forbidden Area, we will choose to believe you first. However, I do have another question, how did you manage to reach that safe zone?"


    I have already said before, disciple cultivates a body tempering cultivation technique, and his physique is much stronger than that of an ordinary disciple. Also, the key point is, from the beginning, disciple said that the Green Roc King was too useful to me, I swallowed the inner core of the Green Roc King, and this inner core power provided me endless power. Not only that, I also have a cultivation technique that I can use the blood of demon beasts to cultivate in, so the blood of the Green Roc King also provided me with strength ¡­.


    "In addition, I also swallowed that Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit ¡­"


    "These are all your one-sided statements. How can we believe them?" Ling Wuyou questioned him once again.


    Lin Tian wasn''t angry and directly took out a drop of blood essence from the dragon symbol space.


    It was precisely the blood essence of the Azure Roc King.


    Lin Tian had the Great Blood Coagulation Art, so Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t let go of the Cyan Roc King''s blood essence.


    At this moment, this drop of blood had unexpectedly become Lin Tian''s evidence.

 C448 Return

    After taking out the evidence, they immediately fell silent.


    They were naturally able to discern with a glance that it was the blood essence of the Azure Roc King.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian once again took off his shirt.


    Everyone was puzzled and didn''t know why Lin Tian had suddenly made such a move.


    However, when Lin Tian Gan revealed his upper body, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.


    "Of course, this time, disciple was completely lucky to be able to survive. From this disciple''s body, the various Peak Masters should be able to see that this disciple must have picked up a life and returned ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently said.


    The veins on his body were popping out, and he was completely red. It was as if something had burned and burned his body.


    Not only that, what was even more terrifying was that there was actually a huge scar on Lin Tian''s Dantian. Currently, it was emitting a pitch-black aura, and was rotten to the core ¡­ ¡­ At this moment, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.


    If it was before, there was still some doubt, but now, there was none.


    The marks on Lin Tian''s body were definitely marks that would only appear under the corrosion of the black mist.


    Of course, this also proved what Lin Tian said. His physical body''s strength was incomparably strong, and he resisted the corrosion of the black mist.


    "I am ashamed, it seems like I will need a long time to recover my Dantian ¡­" Saying this, Lin Tian already quietly put on his clothes.


    "We were wrong to blame you, Lin Tian. Don''t take it to heart ¡­." When Ling Wuyou saw this, he no longer had anything else to say.


    The others all nodded.


    Ling Wuji had already made up his mind. He spoke out directly and said to Lin Tian, "Since that''s the case, you should hurry back to recuperate. I know most of the details ¡­"


    "Thank you, Grand Elder." Lin Tian slightly bowed. After thinking for a while, Lin Tian added: "However, this disciple still has something that I don''t understand ¡­"


    "Go ahead." Ling Wuji looked much better now.


    "This disciple doesn''t understand why the black fog would suddenly recede and disappear all of a sudden. If it wasn''t for that, I would still be trapped in that safe zone and would not have been able to leave ¡­" Lin Tian asked in confusion.


    However, the others, including Ling Wuji, shook their heads.


    After a moment of silence, Ling Wuji spoke again, "I don''t know either. We need to investigate more about this. However, you don''t need to worry about it. Go back and rest..."


    "Thank you for your concern, Great Elder. This disciple will take his leave ¡­" Lin Tian nodded his head as he charged out of the black fog forest.


    They ran towards the residences of the disciples of the Skycloud Sect.


    "Grand Elder, what do you think of what this person has said?" Seeing Lin Tian leaving, Ling Wuyou could not help but ask Ling Wuji.


    "I believe his words ¡­" Ling Wuji said meaningfully.


    "What about you? "What do you think?" And then he asked the others.


    "I only believe half of it, and even half of it is a little unbelievable ¡­" Ling Wuyou was the first to speak.


    Actually, in Ling Wuyou''s heart, he felt that Lin Tian''s words were believable, and that it was flawless.


    But, for some reason, Ling Wuyou still didn''t dare to believe ¡­


    "I believe 80% ¡­"


    "Me too."


    "Mmm..."


    After one person said 80%, the others all nodded in agreement. Most of them only believed 80%.


    Only Ling Tianzhi spoke, "This old man, this old man believes the words of this child ¡­"


    As Ling Tian spoke up to this point, the others all looked at him with puzzled expressions. They did not know why Ling Tian had replied with such certainty.


    One had to know that Ling Tian was the Peak Master of Bu Ji Summit.


    Everyone found it hard to believe that he was so sure.


    Seeing everyone''s puzzled gazes, Ling Tian pointed at the copper coin in his hand and said, "This thing will not lie. It makes me believe that brat ¡­"


    Everyone else immediately fell silent.


    Ling Tian calculated that saying these words could only prove one thing, and that was that this boy called Lin Tian was not lying ¡­


    "Everyone, why must we continue arguing here? Since that kid said that there''s a safe zone in the center of the forbidden area, we''ll immediately know when we go there ¡­" At this moment, a Peak Master suddenly spoke.


    "Alright, I will take a look and see if it''s real or fake ¡­"


    At this point, the group immediately rushed towards the depths of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    At the same time, Lin Tian had already returned to his own residence.


    What Lin Tian did not expect was that all the students that had come to participate in the Great Thousand Kingdom War actually did not leave.


    On the contrary, everyone was still waiting here as if they were waiting for Lin Tian.


    When Lin Tian returned, the entire residence exploded.


    Everyone wanted to look at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian, with the excuse of being injured, refused all visits and only allowed Ji Fang Ge and the others to enter his room.


    "How about it, as I said, a thousand years after the calamity, this Lin Kuang devil is a true scourge, wherever he appears, there will be danger ¡­" Fang Xing winked at Lin Tian. "But someone who''s the cause of disaster is truly amazing. Even after you entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Area, you still haven''t died ¡­."


    "I''ve heard that no one from the Lingxiao Sacred Sect who entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, regardless of their strength, will make it out alive. Kid, how did you make it out alive?"


    Fang Xing''s tone of voice was completely the same as before, but to Lin Tian, it was exceptionally warm.


    Although these people didn''t say anything, Lin Tian knew that the few of them truly cared about Lin Tian''s life and death.


    But being touched was being moved, but when the other side said these words, Lin Tian unhappily glared at him: "You owe me a lot to train you!"


    Fang Xing stopped himself.


    On the other hand, Ji Fang Ge noticed that something was wrong with Lin Tian. He softly asked in disbelief: "You, you''ve reached the Life and Death Realm?"


    "Life and Death Realm!" Hearing this, everyone became excited and all of them looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    Lin Tian lightly nodded his head and silently agreed. However, Lin Tian did not say much and instead asked them: "In the few days that I wasn''t here, did something big happen? The important thing is to say ¡­"


    Lin Tian had been gone for so many days, he naturally wanted to first understand what had happened in the past few days ¡­

 C449 Soaring into the sky

    "Nothing too big ¡­" Ji Fangge said to Lin Tian in a low voice, then he told Lin Tian about everything that had happened in the past few days.


    The first big matter was naturally related to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian entering the Navy Tide Forbidden Area was an extremely big matter to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    The forbidden area of Navy Tide was the land of demons in the hearts of everyone in the Skycloud Sect. Who would dare to enter the forbidden area of Navy Tide?


    But this Lin Tian was just entering.


    That was why everyone was extremely curious about this Lin Tian. Of course, this was not the most crucial point, the most crucial point was that after Lin Tian entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, Ling Xiao Sacred Sect''s Great Elder, Ling Wuji, actually gave another order.


    All the students that had participated in the Great War of the Thousand Kingdoms would agree to enter the rankings after that. They would wait for Lin Tian''s fifteenth day ¡­


    Once this order was given, all the students burst into an uproar.


    They were all in disbelief.


    No one would have thought that Ling Wuji would give such an order in the end. However, this order had something to do with Lin Tian.


    In the previous five rounds of examinations held in the Virtuous Cloud Sect, Lin Tian had already been in the limelight.


    At this moment, for the sake of the Lin Tian who had entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land and was destined to die, Ling Wuji gave the order for everyone to wait for Lin Tian.


    In an instant, many people were guessing if Lin Tian and that Great Elder were related.


    If it wasn''t for Ji Fangge and the others who knew Lin Tian well, they would have thought that Lin Tian was Ling Wuji''s son ¡­


    As a result, this was also the reason why Lin Tian''s return from the Navy Tide Forbidden Area had caused such a stir among the students.


    There was nothing else that needed doing.


    Each Peak Master had their own responsibilities, but Ling Wuji had always been outside of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, waiting for Lin Tian for over ten days ¡­


    After listening, Lin Tian slightly nodded his head.


    Looking at the questioning gazes of the crowd, he knew that they all wanted to ask Lin Tian what had happened in the Navy Tide Forbidden Area.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and repeated to everyone what he had said to the Peak Masters.


    The play had to be done in order not to be seen by others.


    Moreover, everything that had happened in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land was too unimaginable.


    It would only increase the panic of the crowd, but it wouldn''t mean much to them.


    Furthermore, it was not the time for them to live or die yet.


    Moreover, what happened in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land could only become a secret.


    The matter of Lin Tian being the descendant of the Ancestral Dragon only the heavens, the earth, and himself knew.


    As for the others, the more one knew, the more danger they would face.


    Everyone''s faces were filled with incredulity as they listened to Lin Tian''s words. They couldn''t help but click their tongues in amazement.


    Never would he have thought that there was actually such a terrifying place in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    As for the rest of the matters, Lin Tian didn''t say much and chose to close.


    The injury he let the Peak Masters see before wasn''t something that Lin Tian had done on purpose. The wound on his Dantian really did exist.


    After all, killing a demon was unsealing his power. For Lin Tian, it was extremely hard so Lin Tian also got injured a bit.


    Also, after absorbing the power of the devil, he still needed to slowly refine it.


    When the crowd saw Lin Tian''s face filled with fatigue, they tactfully did not continue to disturb him and left the room.


    The rest was left to them.


    Because when they knew that Lin Tian had returned, countless people wanted to check on Lin Tian.


    Of course, Ji Fangge and the others were the ones helping Lin Tian do these things ¡­


    At the same time, in the center of the depths of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    The other Peak Masters all stood there silently, not saying a word. At this moment, they were all dumbstruck as they stared in disbelief at the scene before them.


    He hadn''t thought that the words of that brat called Lin Tian would actually be true.


    In the center of the forbidden area, there was actually an incomparably large area.


    There was nothing here, neither were there any trees or anything else. It was just a vast wilderness.


    No one knew why there was such an area inside the Vast Tide Forbidden Land, which was filled with corrosive energy.


    Seeing this, even if it was before, everyone didn''t trust Lin Tian too much, but now they all believed Lin Tian''s words.


    After all, the truth is right in front of you ¡­


    "Alright, everyone, after seeing all of this, I believe that you all have made a decision in your hearts ¡­" Ling Wuji spoke blandly, "Then I don''t need to say anymore ¡­"


    Everyone nodded.


    However, Ling Tian couldn''t help but ask, "Great Elder, I don''t know what caused the upheaval here. Should we continue or not?"


    "Investigate what? What can you find out?" Ling Wuji sighed, "Now is the time to meddle in all of this. Moreover, the war between the six Saint sects is about to begin. I don''t want to cause any unnecessary trouble right now ¡­"


    When it came to the debate between the six Saint sects, no one said anything.


    However, they understood what Ling Wuji was thinking.


    "In that case, all of you can go back now. Now we have some work to do!" Ling Wuyou sighed. He wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. In the end, he didn''t say anything.


    Each of them nodded their heads before swiftly returning to their respective peaks.


    After all, it wouldn''t be long before the battles between the six sects began.


    In the battles between the six sects, their respective students would be the main force. Thus, they would naturally need to go back and help their disciples with their training.


    Even if they investigated this place, they wouldn''t be able to discover anything in a short amount of time.


    After all, the forefathers hadn''t figured out what kind of secrets lay within the forbidden area.


    Everyone returned to their respective peaks.


    As for the remaining matters, he would leave them to the Worryfree Peak to handle.


    After all, the Worryfree Peak was in charge of disciple selection.


    Very quickly, in just three to five days, the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect had completed their rankings for the Great Thousand Empire War.


    Based on the performance of these students in the stadium.


    In the end, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect only accepted five hundred disciples.


    Originally, at least ten thousand disciples had come to participate in the Thousand Kingdoms War, but in the end, only five hundred students had been accepted.


    Out of almost twenty people, only one would be able to enter the Holy Sect.


    This kind of elimination rate was enough to prove just how high the threshold was.


    However, among these five hundred people, there was not a single person''s name.


    That was Lin Tian.


    When Ji Fang Ge and the others looked at the rankings, they were even a bit surprised. They didn''t know why Lin Tian''s name wasn''t listed on the rankings.


    The others were also extremely curious. They didn''t know why Lin Tian, who had the loudest voice, didn''t have his name on it.


    Although they were curious, no one dared to say anything. The disciples that had been selected to join the Holy Sect in the Soaring Clouds Sect had naturally stayed behind without a hitch.


    As for those students with no names, they were sent back to their own kingdoms.


    This time, surprisingly, among the ten students sent by Tian Luo Country to participate in the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, other than the eliminated Chu Feng, only Lin Tian''s name was no longer on it.


    In other words, the other eight were all taken into the Cloudsoaring sect.


    Moreover, these eight people had all directly leaped up to become inner court disciples.


    He was taken in as a disciple by the Cavemaster of the 108 Caves beneath the nine peaks.


    And because of this, Tian Luo Country had also received some glory, jumping up from the lower realm to the upper realm.


    Furthermore, it became the third ranked kingdom.


    From then on, it could be predicted that Tian Luo would soar to the sky and become a great power.


    Not only that, because Tian Luo Kingdom would leap up so quickly, they would also obtain the endless resources from the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. After that, Tian Luo Kingdom would soar to the sky, and it would only be a matter of time ¡­


    After Ji Fang Ge and the others finished looking at the rankings, they went back to look for Lin Tian.


    He completely told this matter to Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian did not seem surprised. He only lightly nodded his head, indicating that he understood.


    This caused Ji Fang to want to ask, but he did not.


    Other than this, what the crowd did not know was that not long ago, Lin Tian had actually been summoned by Ling Wuji alone.


    It shouldn''t be long before the news of Ling Wuji accepting Lin Tian as his last disciple will spread out ¡­ ¡­


    However, when the time comes, who knows how much of a ruckus it would cause ¡­

 C450 Until!

    As expected, after the dust settled on the ranking list.


    Yet another piece of news came from the Cloudsoaring sect.


    The Peak Master of Lingxiao Peak, the person in charge of the current Sect Master, Great Elder Ling Wuji had personally announced.


    "Because Tian Luo''s student, Lin Tian, has performed outstanding in the five trials and his strength is unparalleled, for the benefit of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, he can actually give himself away of this consolation. This kind of student will be rewarded, from today onwards, I will accept Lin Tian as my last disciple and reward you."


    These were Ling Wuji''s exact words.


    However, once the news reached the Holy Sect, it caused a huge commotion.


    This time, it wasn''t just the newly recruited students who had gone crazy.


    Even the original disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect had gone crazy.


    One by one, the disciples began to unceasingly probe this student called Lin Tian.


    Previously, Lin Tian was famous. After all, he was famous among the new students. As for the others, those who knew Lin Tian, they were a lot fewer.


    After all, the Virtuous Cloud Sect was too big.


    Below the nine peaks, there were 108 holes. Each hole had countless disciples.


    Thus, no one knew who this Lin Tian was.


    But two days later, Lin Tian was basically turned upside down by these disciples.


    Everyone knew of Lin Tian''s series of great achievements.


    All five tests had been cleared, and the pillar on top of that, the pillar on top of it had been destroyed, as well as the strength testing monument.


    Passing through the Iron Man Pass only took less than half an incense stick of time.


    One person lured away a rank 6 beast, the Green Winged Peng, and it even entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Area. In the end, it actually retreated completely ¡­


    One by one, the legends about Lin Tian were spread amongst the disciples of the Holy Sect.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian also attracted countless controversy.


    Even if Lin Tian''s performance was so outstanding and so monstrous and terrifying.


    However, it couldn''t stop the crowd from talking leisurely.


    Countless disciples were discussing this matter. They all knew that this matter could no longer be changed. However, they couldn''t help but feel angry in their hearts.


    Going for what?


    He was just a new student, how could he have become the Great Elder''s last disciple?


    To those disciples who had just been selected to join the Holy Sect, they might not even know what this meant.


    But for those old disciples, it was extremely clear.


    This meant that with Lin Tian''s identity as a new student, he had directly reached a level that would be impossible for the students to reach in their entire lives.


    That was to become a direct disciple!


    That''s right, a direct disciple.


    The disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect were divided into three categories: service disciples, outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, core disciples, and direct disciples.


    There was a huge gap between the five disciples.


    For now, even becoming a direct disciple from an inner sect would require endless effort.


    Of course, sometimes hard work didn''t always work. Strength came first when one became a direct disciple, but talent and temperament were all indispensable.


    To be able to become a direct disciple, which one of them wasn''t a peerless genius?


    Which one of them wasn''t unrivalled, relying on their strength to speak?


    But, although many people admitted that Lin Tian was truly talented and had strong aptitudes, he was suddenly accepted as a direct disciple by the Great Elder ¡­


    This, wasn''t it a little too fast?


    Therefore, this was also the reason why everyone resisted in their hearts.


    Also, the key point was that once Lin Tian became a direct disciple, it was equivalent to growing a generation without reason.


    In the future, these inner and outer sect disciples would have to call Lin Tian''s Junior Martial Uncle ¡­


    This, this kind of situation, they could not tolerate.


    So, after knowing this news, many disciples were secretly discussing when to find this Lin Tian and give him a show of strength.


    Although the Cloudsoaring sect forbade disciples from fighting in private, they encouraged the weak to challenge the strong.


    Thus, outer and inner court disciples were able to issue challenges to the direct disciples.


    Not only that, if the challenge was a success, then the direct disciple would either become a core disciple or an inner disciple.


    Either that, or their disciples would be promoted.


    Now it seemed that the Great Clan Elder had steeled his heart to accept Lin Tian as his disciple.


    Then he would challenge Lin Tian. At that time, maybe he could get another level up. It would be a beautiful thing.


    Thinking to this point, all of the disciples actually started to get eager to give it a try.


    Facing the questioning voices of the outside world, Lin Tian remained silent.


    This was not because Lin Tian was afraid, but because Lin Tian was doing his best to cultivate ¡­


    After his battle with that demon, Lin Tian''s harvest was very big. Not only was it on top of the battle, more importantly, he absorbed all of the demon''s demon qi.


    Demonic Qi was his biggest nutrient and could be used for cultivation.


    Thus, in these past few days, one of the reasons that Lin Tian had come was because he was comprehending the battle before.


    Secondly, he was doing his best to absorb that demonic energy.


    In these few days, Lin Tian finally finished recovering his injuries.


    The injuries on his Dantian had also been completely healed.


    He had also absorbed a portion of the demon aura and his current strength had already reached the third level of the Profound Life stage.


    Of course, this was also because Lin Tian had forcefully suppressed his cultivation speed.


    And feeling that this demonic energy actually had such a strong effect, Lin Tian found it hard to believe.


    With this kind of demonic qi, he would not need to spend spirit stones anymore. He could rely on this demonic qi to improve his cultivation.


    Of course, Lin Tian still had another gain. With the help of the demonic energy, Lin Tian''s Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body was also cultivated to the fifth stage, the Invigorated Meridian Realm.


    The Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body was also known as the Nine Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    They were respectively Level 1 Refinement, Level 2 Blood Refinement, Level 3 Marrow Refinement, Level 4 Bone Refining, Level 5 Enlightenment, Level 6 Stainless Body, Level 7 Immortal, Level 8 Immortal, and Level 9 Coiling Dragon Golden Body.


    The stage of Invigorated Meridian was to open 981 acupoints all over his body.


    The 81 acupoints all over his body were cleared through his body. Once they were cleared, the strength of his body would rise to another level.


    Of course, the purpose of the Invigorated Meridian Realm was to cleanse the body''s major acupoints. Once all the impurities in the body''s major acupoints were completely cleansed, the body would become immaculate.


    Of course, now that Lin Tian had reached the Invigorated Meridian Realm, his strength and physical toughness was countless times stronger than before.


    He felt that the power in his body had reached a certain point where no one could compete with him.


    Not only that, but as his cultivation increased.


    The Spirit power in Lin Tian''s Divine Manor was also tyrannical to a certain degree.


    Currently, Lin Tian had already reached the cultivation of a Rank 3 spirit runemaster. He was only a hair away from breaking through to become a spirit runemaster and becoming an Earth Symbol Master ¡­


    All in all, the current Lin Tian was already strong to a certain degree. As for how strong he was, even Lin Tian himself did not know.


    He only knows that the current Ji Fang Ge is up against him. He can easily defeat him in less than ten moves ¡­


    And because of this, Lin Tian announced the exit.


    Moreover, on the second day he came out, Lin Tian first paid a visit to his master, Ling Wuji. After that, he chose his own cave in a place where the Spiritual Qi on Lingxiao Peak was extremely dense.


    On the third day, Lin Tian said: "If anyone disagrees, you can come challenge me. I guarantee that you will fight until you submit ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s actions had thoroughly enraged all the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    Countless disciples were filled with righteous indignation, and even some core disciples could not sit still.


    It had to be known that if they really defeated Lin Tian, they could also change their identity from core disciple to direct disciple.


    Although core disciples and direct disciples belonged to the second generation disciples, the difference in resources was too great.


    Who wouldn''t want more cultivation resources?


    Thus, Lin Tian immediately stirred the emotions of all the disciples of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    Countless disciples wanted to challenge Lin Tian and see just how strong he was!


    How could he be so arrogant?


    Some of the direct disciples could not stand watching on, and even threatened to challenge Lin Tian ¡­

 C451 Junior martial uncle youre right!

    On the fourth day.


    Some outer court disciples arrived first.


    Lin Tian seemed to have long since been prepared and had been waiting outside the cave since early morning.


    He already knew that there would be a good show to watch, and countless disciples quickly rushed over. There was going to be a good show to watch, so he naturally wanted to see it.


    Strangely, the Peak Masters of the Ninth Peak didn''t seem to know about this and didn''t have any intention of interfering ¡­


    This also stimulated the enthusiasm of the students.


    Before this, they were most afraid of the Great Elders Guild stepping in to protect Lin Tian, but they never thought that the Great Elder would actually choose to raise him. He had absolutely no intention of interfering in this matter.


    Lin Tian naturally knew that this should also be the common meaning of the 9th Peak Master.


    They were a bit suspicious towards Lin Tian. Although Lin Tian''s reason was flawless, after all, Lin Tian was the only one who came out alive from the Navy Tide Forbidden Area.


    Of course, it was also possible that the higher ups wanted to see just how much strength Lin Tian had hidden ¡­ ¡­


    Ling Wuji wanted to take him as a disciple, who would dare to disapprove? If Ling Wuji really did care, who would dare to doubt him?


    Furthermore, accepting Lin Tian was meant for the entire sect, and it was announced to the public. The reason was very simple, it was because he wanted to roast Lin Tian on fire ¡­


    However, this was good as well. He had to quickly get rid of this noise so that Lin Tian''s ears would be peaceful and quiet.


    "All of you came to challenge me?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes at the surrounding disciples and then indifferently asked.


    "Naturally, Lin Tian ¡­ "No, Junior Master, I would like to first congratulate you on becoming my direct disciple. It''s just that Junior Master''s skills are too itchy, I would like to ask Junior Uncle for some advice ¡­" One of the disciples said.


    That disciple had a cultivation base around the 7th level of the Star River Realm, he should be considered one of the top outer sect disciples.


    "Seventh level of the Milky Way Realm?" Lin Tian immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, your strength is too weak. Fighting with you is completely a waste of time. If it was someone else ¡­"


    Lin Tian immediately rejected that disciple and once again said those arrogant words.


    "Un, I didn''t expect that my Junior Martial Uncle would look down on me so much ¡­" The disciple coldly snorted, "Then I need even more advice ¡­"


    "Double Fist!" That disciple no longer gave Lin Tian the chance to reject him. He first struck out with his palm, bringing with it an incomparably tyrannical power, directly smashing it towards Lin Tian.


    "Pah!" In the next moment, Lin Tian casually waved his hand and a palm landed on that disciple''s face.


    The strength of one palm strike sent the disciple flying, "You are trying to give me face but don''t want it. I already said it, you are too weak. You will waste your time. You can''t not believe it!"


    "Look, how much time did I waste by slapping you?" Lin Tian had a heartbroken expression as he spoke to the disciple.


    At this time, that disciple''s body had already flown far away and he fell onto the ground, unable to get back up.


    The right side of his face swelled up and a few of his teeth had been knocked out. At this moment, he had even fainted.


    When the other disciples saw this scene, they were all stupefied. All of them tightly stared at Lin Tian, they never would have thought that Lin Tian would actually be so terrifying. One slap was enough to send a student flying, and he was even half-dead.


    After a moment of silence, one of the disciples suddenly exclaimed: "His strength, he''s actually a Life and Death Realm expert!"


    "Life and death realm?"


    The outer court disciples started to exclaim in surprise.


    This time, not a single disciple dared to walk up once again.


    Amongst the outer sect disciples, their strength was below the eighth level of the Star River Realm. The seventh level of the Star River Realm was already one of the top existences within the outer sect disciples.


    None of the remaining people dared to go up.


    With the Star River Realm''s cultivation base, if they wanted to fight against a Life and Death Realm expert, wasn''t that just provoking them?


    "The rest of you, do you have any experts who have reached the Life and Death Realm?" Lin Tian swept his gaze across the crowd and asked casually.


    Everyone was deathly silent. No one made a sound.


    "Alright, I declare that existences below the Life and Death Realm deprived you of the right to challenge me ¡­" This time, all of the outer sect disciples let out a sigh of relief.


    Even if Lin Tian didn''t strip them of their qualifications to challenge him, they would not challenge him again. Did they think they were stupid?


    So when Lin Tian said these words, the outer sect disciples immediately nodded their heads: "Junior Martial Uncle is right."


    "Junior Martial Uncle is truly wise!"


    "Little uncle, we have no objections to you becoming the direct disciple. With your strength, you can definitely take on the position ¡­"


    Those outer sect disciples were all trash who had seen the wind and were able to control the situation. Now they caught Lin Tian and fiercely praised him.


    This made Lin Tian''s face darken. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Alright, cut the crap. Is there any Life and Death Realm expert that wants to challenge me?"


    This time, it should not be just the outer disciples, there should be inner disciples as well. Although the inner disciples'' cultivation was below the Life and Death Realm, there were still quite a few inner disciples who had reached the Life and Death Realm.


    Just as he was thinking this, a person stood out from the group of disciples and said, "I am an inner disciple, Wang Chen. Please enlighten me!"


    "It''s actually Wang Chen?" Upon hearing this name, the audience immediately cried out in alarm.


    "He is the one who was ranked first in the inner court disciple rankings, Wang Chen, who is said to be the closest to being a core disciple?" someone asked in disbelief.


    "That''s him!" Some people knew Wang Chen.


    "I heard that this Wang Chen has long since entered the Life and Death Realm. I wonder what his current level is ¡­" The disciples started to discuss among themselves.


    "Yo, first in the inner court disciples'' ranking?" Lin Tian''s interest was piqued and he asked: "Does that mean you''re the strongest within the inner court disciples?"


    "I do not dare to boast, but I am confident. If I am second among the inner court disciples, I believe no one would dare to claim to be first ¡­" Wang Chen said proudly.


    "Not bad, not bad. Young lad, your temper suits my taste. Don''t be modest, do whatever you have to do ¡­" Lin Tian praised, then said: "Then let''s do it. What are you waiting for?"


    "Since that''s the case, junior martial uncle, Wang Chen, sorry for offending you!" Wang Chen suddenly punched out towards Lin Tian.


    A powerful and heavy attack proved that when Wang Chen attacked Lin Tian, he did not hold back at all ¡­

 C452 Senior brother taught me!

    In the next moment, Wang Chen''s vision blurred.


    Then, he felt a pain on his right cheek. Then, he lost consciousness ¡­


    "Pah!" Another ear-piercing slap quietly sounded from the crowd.


    After that, Lin Tian sighed: "Young man''s temper isn''t bad, it''s just that his strength is a bit lacking, his speed is too slow, his strength is too weak, he can''t even take a single blow ¡­"


    With that, Lin Tian raised his head and indifferently smiled: "Next!"


    "What the f * ck?" When someone saw this scene, they could not help but curse.


    "Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"


    "Holy shit, am I dreaming?" A disciple was still sleepwalking, "I pinched myself, how come I don''t feel any pain?"


    "That''s because you pinched him, right?!" One of the disciples, who was in pain, shouted in rage.


    This roar immediately brought everyone back to reality.


    At this moment, they could all see clearly.


    This time, it was true. Lin Tian slapped Wang Chen''s face again, and sent him flying. That Wang Chen had already lost consciousness, and didn''t even have the strength to retaliate ¡­


    Those disciples immediately turned silent.


    No one dared to underestimate Lin Tian again.


    Now that he thought about it, he knew that all of the direct disciples relied on improper means to become their direct disciples. If that was the case, how could they dare to accept the challenges from so many masters and disciples?


    Isn''t that just asking to be humiliated?


    But very clearly, this Lin Tian was not looking for an insult. On the contrary, he was looking for a ¡ª ¡ª to establish his might!


    That''s right, you doubted me, ah, you came to hit me ¡­


    But you can''t beat me ¡­


    This was what angered him the most.


    "Eh, why is everyone so quiet?" Lin Tian saw that no one said anything and immediately felt that it was a bit strange. He then asked again: "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"


    No one answered.


    "No more?"


    Still no one answered.


    "As for the core disciples, where are the direct disciples? If I can''t do it, I can''t beat them, so I can go and find your master ¡­" Lin Tian once again roared at the crowd.


    "Hmm?"


    "What did he say?"


    "Looking for master?"


    The audience went into an uproar.


    Was this Junior Martial Uncle overexcited?


    Did he know what he was saying, what he was doing?


    Was it really good to be so inflated?


    Still no one answered.


    Lin Tian then shook his head and directly turned around to enter his own cave.


    "Hold on!" Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from afar and in the next moment, a disciple floated over.


    "Youngest senior brother, I am late ¡­" The disciple had a simple and honest smile on his face.


    Lin Tian turned around and looked towards the disciple.


    From the way he addressed the man, he could already tell the identity of the man.


    This should be a core disciple.


    Core disciples and direct disciples were of the same generation, they were both from the second generation.


    But there was a difference between core disciples and direct disciples.


    For example, core disciples, even if their strength was stronger than the direct disciples, they still had to call the direct disciples as senior ¡­


    The disciple in front of him called him senior brother. There was a high chance that the one in front of him was a core disciple.


    If he was a direct disciple, he would be called by the time he joined the sect. If that was the case, he should be called Little Junior Brother. There was definitely no way that he was some kind of senior brother ¡­


    "Junior is a core disciple, a disciple of the Spirit Martial Peak''s Elder Ling Lie. Junior''s name is Liu Feng ¡­" That disciple''s honest face surprised Lin Tian.


    He could faintly sense that this disciple was very strong.


    Moreover, what was powerful was not just any other power, but his physical strength.


    This caused Lin Tian to be a bit interested. This was the first time he had seen another disciple have such powerful physical strength.


    With this, he could test how strong his physical body was ¡­


    "Mm, you''re not bad." Lin Tian put away his playful smile and said: "If I''m not wrong, your main attack method is body right?"


    "Senior Brother, how did you know?" Liu Feng asked in confusion.


    Before even making a move, Lin Tian was already able to determine what method the other party would use.


    Wasn''t this a little too terrifying?


    "I can tell." Lin Tian didn''t say anything more and directly used the power in his body. He then smiled and said: "Make your move ¡­."


    "Senior Brother, please give me some pointers!" Liu Feng said softly and then suddenly rushed towards Lin Tian like a fierce beast.


    This was a classic method of melee combat. Clearly, Lin Tian''s words were correct.


    This Liu Feng relied on his physical body to fight against others. In the Sky Dragon Continent, he was one of the few martial artists who focused on body tempering. He was also known as a body cultivator ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and also used the power of his physical body to fiercely charge towards Liu Feng.


    "Bam!" In the next moment, the two bodies fiercely collided against each other.


    A monstrous power immediately spread between the two of them; it was extremely terrifying.


    But in the next moment, Liu Feng let out a stuffy groan and his body repeatedly retreated. He had to retreat dozens of steps before he managed to stabilize his body.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian stood where he was, unmoving.


    Not only that, in the next moment, blood started to flow out from the corner of Liu Feng''s mouth. The crimson blood appeared to be extremely frightening.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that at this time, Liu Feng''s face turned red and white.


    Those who were experts could tell that Liu Feng was probably injured.


    With just a single clash with Lin Tian, the pros and cons were immediately determined.


    Liu Feng''s physical strength was completely incomparable to Lin Tian''s.


    One move, one move and Liu Feng wouldn''t be able to hold on.


    The reason was simple. Liu Feng was no longer able to gather his strength and fight with Lin Tian.


    "Your physical strength is indeed not bad, but unfortunately, you seem to have taken the wrong path ¡­" Lin Tian glanced at Liu Feng and then indifferently said.


    Lin Tian''s voice was full of energy, obviously he did not receive any injuries.


    However, what Liu Feng cared about wasn''t this, but what Lin Tian had just said.


    Liu Feng also didn''t think that this Lin Tian would also be a Body Cultivator. Moreover, it was that kind of incomparably strong Body Cultivator which was extremely terrifying.


    Liu Feng had sensed the collision just now.


    Lin Tian''s physical body was several hundred times stronger than his own.


    However, what Liu Feng cared more about was Lin Tian''s words.


    Lin Tian knew how to refine the body, so Lin Tian''s words just now definitely had a basis.


    And the reason why Liu Feng was so sure was because his master had also said something similar to this to him.


    It was just that his Master was rather ambiguous in what she said, but she didn''t say the real reason.


    But Lin Tian had directly said that he had taken the wrong path.


    Liu Feng did not hesitate and knelt down towards Lin Tian and said: "Senior brother, please consult me!"


    Everyone in the audience looked at each other, confused.

 C453 Six sects debate!

    At first, no one felt anything was wrong, but with Liu Feng kneeling, they immediately felt something wasn''t right.


    What did this Liu Feng want to do?


    But Lin Tian continuously waved his hand and said, "No, no. You have a master, so I''ll teach you what''s wrong. Hurry up and get up ¡­"


    In terms of seniority, Lin Tian was only Liu Feng''s senior brother. How could he overstep his boundaries to teach Liu Feng body refining techniques?


    Moreover, it was just a casual remark from Lin Tian just now.


    As he trained in the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body, his understanding of the body refining technique was only built on the foundation of the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body. As for anything else, Lin Tian did not know either.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Feng kowtowed again and said: "Senior Brother, if you find it difficult, I will go and seek out Master for an explanation. After leaving the sect, I will pay my respects to Senior Brother ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Hearing this, Lin Tian Deng was speechless.


    Is there something wrong with this Liu Feng''s head?


    The meaning of his words weren''t clear enough, to think that he would still have to acknowledge him as his disciple.


    "What the f * ck ¡­"


    When they heard Liu Feng''s words, everyone in the stadium once again let out vulgarities.


    There was such a thing?


    Is this Liu Feng crazy?


    However, Liu Feng''s eyes were currently filled with unspeakable sincerity. From the looks of it, he was definitely going to become a disciple of Lin Tian Sect ¡­


    Lin Tian slightly hesitated, then said: "Okay okay okay okay okay, I''m fine, I''m afraid of you, I''ll tell you a few important points, you just have to remember them. As for whether or not you can comprehend them, or learn anything from the method I taught you, that will all depend on you ¡­ ¡­"


    "Thank you, Senior Brother." Liu Feng was greatly grateful. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian didn''t waste any words and directly said a few words to Liu Feng.


    What Lin Tian had said was all from when he was cultivating the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body. The flesh of the land and the coiling dragon was the best among all the heavens, and its flesh was unparalleled.


    Thus, the body tempering technique left behind by the earth coiling dragon was also known as the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body.


    Compared to other body refining techniques, this Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon was the ancestor of all body refining techniques.


    So, what Lin Tian had just said was definitely golden jade for Liu Feng. As long as his perception wasn''t bad, he believed that there would be great progress.


    When Liu Feng first heard Lin Tian speak, he was slightly doubtful, but as he listened, his eyes became serious.


    In the end, Liu Feng was stunned.


    Because what Lin Tian said and what he came in contact with seemed to be completely two different body refining methods.


    However, it was very clear that his body refining method was truly as Lin Tian said. He had taken the wrong path.


    After a long silence, Liu Feng opened his mouth and respectfully bowed to Lin Tian. "Thank you senior brother for your guidance. Liu Feng will never forget your great kindness ¡­"


    Lin Tian gently waved his hand: "It''s just a small matter. Alright, let''s go ¡­."


    Liu Feng respectfully retreated without saying a word.


    And at that time, even if everyone was stupid, they could still see that this Lin Tian did have some extraordinary aspects. There was a reason why he could become a direct disciple.


    As a result, everyone fell silent.


    "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Lin Tian glanced at the crowd and discovered that everyone shook their heads. No one replied.


    "Where are the core disciples? Did any of them come?" Lin Tian spoke again.


    Everyone still chose to remain silent.


    "Where is my direct disciple? Is there anyone amongst my direct disciples who is unconvinced with me?" Lin Tian asked again.


    Still no one answered.


    "Alright, let''s disperse. I am going into closed door cultivation ¡­" Lin Tian immediately gave the order to expel the guest.


    At this moment, after these flies have been chased away, it would be best for them to go into seclusion to cultivate.


    At the same time, within the group of disciples, there were three to five groups. Just now, they hadn''t issued a challenge to Lin Tian and similarly didn''t say anything.


    But just as Lin Tian turned to leave, a disciple asked another disciple: "Senior brother Hua, I never thought that this kid would actually be accepted as a direct disciple by Elder Ling Wu. Is that Yang Qian''s hatred?"


    "Caution!" The person called Brother Hua suddenly opened his mouth and scolded.


    He looked around and realized that no one else in the crowd had noticed them. Only then did Senior Martial Brother Hua ease his face and said, "Junior Martial Brother Wang, from now on, you are not allowed to mention Yang Qian anymore. Do you remember?"


    The face of the scolded disciple stiffened, but he still nodded: "Understood, Senior Hua ¡­"


    If Lin Tian was still here, he would naturally recognize these people.


    They were none other than the helpers that Yang Qian had hired to kill Lin Tian.


    It was just that that day, Lin Tian had killed Yang Qian.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian had previously said that Great Elder Ling Wuji would take Lin Tian as his last disciple.


    Thus, at that time, they didn''t continue to make things difficult for him. Of course, they were also waiting for their chance.


    Once they knew that Ling Wuji would not accept Lin Tian''s words, Hua Tiandu and a few others would immediately attack Lin Tian.


    Everyone knew that Hua Tiandu was just an ordinary disciple, but they didn''t know that he had another identity.


    However, this identity could not be revealed. If it were to be revealed, the entire Holy Sect would be in an uproar.


    So, the reason why Hua Tian and the others came here was because they heard that Lin Tian Zhen had been accepted by the Great Elder as his last disciple. They came to take a look, but of course, they also came to take a look at Lin Tian''s strength.


    The result, of course, was out of their expectations.


    This brat called Lin Tian was even stronger than what Hua Tian had imagined.


    "Senior brother Hua, this Lin Tian, do you want to recruit him into our team?" The next moment, another disciple couldn''t help but ask Hua Tiandu.


    "Let''s not be hasty for now. In today''s battle, Lin Tian won the limelight. In the future, there might be some core disciples and direct disciples coming to find trouble with him. We will quietly watch and see what happens ¡­" Hua Tiandu opened his mouth indifferently.


    The few of them quickly left, and no one noticed their existence.


    Lin Tian instead directly returned to his own cave dwelling.


    However, he began to calculate in his mind.


    Firstly, Ling Wuji wanted to find Lin Tian because he accepted Lin Tian''s gift of becoming his disciple. Secondly, Ling Wuji also told Lin Tian something else.


    It was about the Six Sects'' duels.


    The six great sects of the Western Spirit Region held an annual debate together.


    In this competition, the sects would first start to select their own experts to participate in the six sects'' competition.


    And after participating in the Six Sects'' competition, the experts that the six sects had jointly selected would go to the Heavenly Spirit Realm to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    The Heavenly Spirit Realm was the strongest realm in the True Martial World. There were countless sects there, and all sorts of great clans and powers were present there.


    The higher-ups of the Heavenly Spirit Realm also held the True Martial Grand Ceremony every year. Firstly, it was to show the might of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and secondly, it was to promote the development of several other regions.


    They were respectively the strongest in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the weakest in the Western Spirit Realm, the Demon Spirit Realm and the Chaotic Spirit Realm.


    At that time, the selected experts from the four regions would compete with each other in the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony. That would be the true grand occasion.


    Therefore, what Ling Wuji meant was, he wanted Lin Tian to represent the Lingxiao Sacred Sect and participate in the Six Sects'' competition.


    If Lin Tian could stand out in the Six Sects'' duels, then naturally, the upcoming Zhen Wu Ceremony would also be the time for Lin Tian to perform.


    To be able to stand out in the True Martial Grand Ceremony was basically something that could spread throughout the entire True Martial World. It was not impossible to attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and even a powerful sect.


    As a result, in Ling Wuji''s eyes, this was an excellent stage for Lin Tian to display himself on.


    Lin Under Heaven''s One Step plan was to deal with the Jadeite Sacred Valley and find out the whereabouts of his father and mother.


    However, if he could enter the sky spirit realm now, he might be able to find traces of the two of them.


    After all, when Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang had left, Lin Feng had already reached the Emperor''s Realm.


    Now, over ten years have passed, I presume that they have already gone to the Heavenly Spirit Realm ¡­


    Thus, when Ling Wuji spoke of this matter, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and directly agreed.


    Now, the most important thing is still to cultivate behind closed doors ¡­


    After all, if he were to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony, then he would be a true heaven''s pride expert.


    Right now, he had to break through to his peak state ¡­

 C454 Sky-moving hand

    At the same time, the peaks of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect also began to move quickly.


    This time, the Peak Masters of the various peaks had already called back all their disciples, which was to say, their direct disciples.


    After all, there was still the selection before the battles between the six sects began.


    In a short period of time, the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect had become extremely lively.


    Many disciples that returned from the outside world, especially the direct disciples and core disciples, heard about Lin Tian''s matter.


    For a moment, the undercurrent surged. Actually, it was all for Lin Tian, but it was a pity that Lin Tian did not know everything while he was in closed door cultivation.


    Ji Fangge, Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng had all chosen their respective masters. They were now just inner disciples.


    Not even a core disciple.


    Of course, it was because they were too weak. The key point was that they were still just new students.


    New students who had just entered the school rarely had the chance to directly become core disciples.


    Of course, Lin Tian who rose to the sky in one leap and directly became a direct disciple was not counted as ¡­.


    In these few days, Lin Tian was almost going crazy. He almost had no time to care about other things.


    He reorganized his thoughts on cultivation, transforming the previous breakthrough he had been pursuing into a breakthrough from mental energy, spear arts, and martial arts. All of these things went hand in hand.


    Speaking of martial arts, it had been a long time since Lin Tian had truly cultivated a powerful martial arts.


    However, in the Skycloud Sect, there were many powerful martial arts.


    For the past few days, Lin Tian had been crazily cultivating his martial arts.


    Martial arts were divided into different grades. From Grade One to Grade Nine, they were the lowest grade of martial arts. They were also commonly known as Mortal Level Martial Arts.


    Level one to nine martial arts corresponded to the most basic realm, which was the Mortal Realm, the Mortal Sea Realm, the Aurous Core stage, and the Star River Realm.


    As for the Life and Death Realm warriors, their corresponding martial arts were the Spirit Level Martial Arts and the Earth Level Martial Arts.


    Spirit Level Martial Arts were naturally even more powerful. The two words Spirit Level referred to the connection between Martial Arts and Spirit.


    As for the Earth Level Martial Arts, it was the Spirit Level Martial Arts. It was even more powerful.


    For thousands of years, the Lingxiao Saint Sect was founded. Within the Hidden Martial Pavilion, there were many martial arts manuals, and even the lowest ones were all grade nine martial arts that could not be seen in the kingdoms beneath the Lingxiao Saint Sect.


    As for the Spirit Level Martial Arts, they were quite a few in the Martial Repository Pavilion.


    Earth Level Martial Arts were not that many.


    As for the Manifestation martial arts that only Manifestation stage practitioners could train in, it was also known as Heaven Grade martial arts. It was not something that he could find in the Hidden Martial Pavilion.


    After all, the Heaven Level Martial Arts were not something these Life and Death Realm experts could train in.


    What kind of cultivation technique would he have to practice?


    As a result, the range for Lin Tian to choose from was much smaller.


    Right now, he was only at the third level of the Profound Life stage. At the very most, he could only choose a Spirit Level Cultivation Method.


    The reason why he wanted to choose an Earth Grade cultivation technique was all because of that elder from the Hidden Martial Pavilion.


    But even so, Lin Tian still found a cultivation technique that suited him.


    It was also a powerful martial art.


    Lin Tian chose martial arts, practically never choosing passive defensive martial arts.


    After all, his physical body was extremely strong.


    His body''s defensive capabilities were also at the peak.


    As a result, the body defense type of martial arts was immediately abandoned by Lin Tian.


    And the martial art he chose was called the ''Sky Shifting Hand''.


    The name was extremely domineering.


    When he chose this technique, the elder guarding the Hidden Martial Pavilion warned Lin Tian not to choose this overbearing martial art.


    This was because this martial art was extremely high to cultivators. If one''s control was not good, this martial art would completely lose control and harm the person who practiced this martial art instead.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian was not worried at all. This martial arts, the stronger the better. Cultivating martial arts, harming the body?


    From Lin Tian''s point of view, it completely did not exist.


    One must know that his physical body could withstand any form of torture on his part ¡­


    Returning to the cave dwelling, Lin Tian once again went into closed door cultivation.


    This time, his main goal was to train in the [Sky Shifting Hand].


    Three days later, Lin Tian had completely mastered the [Heaven-Shifting Hand] and understood the profoundness behind it. After that, Lin Tian directly went to the dense forest at the back mountain of the Cloudsoaring sect.


    As for Lin Tian, he grasped the essence of the Sky Shifting Hand, but in the end, the most important thing was to make it work.


    Practicing battle to battle was the best way to grasp the move of the Twisting Heaven Hand.


    "Bam!" After killing one demon beast with one palm, Lin Tian''s mood slightly waned. The demon beasts in the dense forest were too low level. They were all rank 5 demon beasts.


    A Rank 5 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Life and Death Realm.


    But this level of demon beast, in front of Lin Tian, had no strength to fight back. It could only be treated as Lin Tian''s hand practice toy and kill one with a slap ¡­


    However, Lin Tian did not understand the Lingxiao Saint Sect that much and he did not know where there were powerful demon beasts.


    However, at this time in the dense forest, there were quite a number of disciples. Most of these disciples were inner and outer court disciples.


    The core disciples rarely saw it. Because the disciples of the Lingxiao Holy Sect didn''t use their ranks and their attire was also very different, there were very few differences between the ranks.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly grabbed a disciple. He decided to inquire about the distribution of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Originally, all of this should have been told to him by his master, Ling Wuji.


    However, Ling Wuji was too busy and kept himself busy. Last time, he only called on Lin Tian once. After that, Lin Tian never saw his master again.


    Thus, not to mention introducing the Lingxiao Sacred Sect to Lin Tian, he did not even go to pay a visit to the Peak Masters.


    Of course, all the Peak Masters and Lin Tian were familiar enough.


    "Junior Martial Uncle!" When the inner disciple saw Lin Tian, he immediately bowed respectfully.


    Lin Tian indifferently nodded his head, then asked: "Why are there only Rank 5 Demonic Beasts here? Also, why are there so many inner and outer disciples here, but we didn''t see a single core disciple or direct disciple?"


    "Junior Martial Uncle, you actually didn''t know?" The inner court disciple had an astonished expression.


    But after carefully looking at Lin Tian for a while, it seemed like he recognized Lin Tian''s identity.


    Only then did he hurriedly say: "Oh, so it''s Lin Tian''s martial uncle, then it''s not strange at all ¡­"


    As he spoke, the inner disciple explained.


    This place was called the Demonic Beast Forest, which was where the inner and outer disciples gathered.


    Because the Lingxiao Sacred Sect didn''t raise idle people, if one wanted to obtain resources from within the sect, they had to complete the mission. Of course, hunting demon beasts in the mission hall in exchange for points was also possible.


    Thus, for the sake of the points, many disciples had no choice but to come hunting for demon beasts in exchange for points.


    The demonic beasts here were indeed of a low level, just like Lin Tian. Therefore, there were very few strong disciples who came here to hunt demonic beasts.


    Most of the core and direct disciples either went to complete those difficult missions or went to the Hundred Beast Valley.


    Hundred Beast Valley was where the core disciples and direct disciples should go.


    Lin Tian suddenly understood.


    So it was because he had come from a different place.


    After thanking him, Lin Tian didn''t stay any longer. He asked for the location of the Hundred Beast Valley and directly headed towards it ¡­

 C455 Im being watched?

    Unexpectedly, the Hundred Beast Valley was next to the Demon Valley.


    After hearing that disciple say this just now, Lin Tian still uncertainly asked once more.


    However, in the end, the result was still being at the side of the Demon Abyss ¡­


    Thinking of the Demon Valley, Lin Tian thought of the Zhang Kun and Yang Qian that he had killed earlier, who had both killed at the side of the Demon Valley and then thrown into the Valley.


    To be honest, Lin Tian was very curious about the Demon Valley.


    This was because there seemed to be something extremely terrifying within the Demon Trail Valley ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian once again thought of the countless black shadows that came from outside the Demon Valley, the endless terrifying sounds of biting, chewing, and Zhang Kun being thrown inside as he let out a miserable howl.


    All of this caused Lin Tian to be unable to restrain his curiosity. He really wanted to know, what exactly was within the Demon Valley ¡­


    Moreover, if he did not remember wrongly, the Horned Demon had told him that there was likely to be a great opportunity for Lin Tian within the Demon Valley ¡­


    But now without the Horned Demon, Lin Tian did not know what the opportunity was ¡­


    But Lin Tian did not think too much about it. It was better to just forget about the Demon Valley. There would be plenty of opportunities later on to investigate what exactly was within the Demon Valley.


    The most important thing right now was to master the ''Sky Hand'' as soon as possible ¡­


    Two hours later, Lin Tian arrived at the Hundred Beast Valley that the disciple mentioned.


    As the name implied, the Hundred Beast Valley was a gathering place for demonic beasts.


    Coming here, sure enough, Lin Tian saw many core disciples.


    However, most of these core disciples were in a hurry. Of course, there were a lot of other disciples who were in a group.


    When they saw Lin Tian, countless disciples revealed a flabbergasted expression.


    However, when most of the disciples saw Lin Tian, they revealed greedy expressions.


    Lin Tian''s heart slightly moved. He seemed to have thought of something, but immediately smiled and left.


    He didn''t forget that his purpose for coming here was to train his Sky Hand ¡­


    However, he did not mind if any ignorant fools wanted to cause trouble for him. He would take one or two of them and treat them as a duel. After all, martial arts was a duel after all.


    Lin Tian did not pay attention to the others and quickly released his Spirit power. With him as the center, it completely enveloped the surrounding area of the Hundred Beast Valley.


    Indeed, the Monstrous Beasts in the Hundred Beast Valley were much stronger than the Monstrous Beasts in the Monstrous Beast forest ¡­


    The lowest level here were all Rank 5 and above Demonic Beasts, and in the Demonic Beast Forest, the strongest was only Rank 5 Demonic Beast.


    Not only that, Lin Tian also felt an even stronger aura. Presumably, there were a lot of Rank 6 Demonic Beasts here ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate. After locking onto the aura of a demon beast, he quickly rushed towards that demon beast.


    At the same time, after Lin Tian left, behind him came hurried footsteps.


    Obviously. Some people had their eyes on Lin Tian and wanted to attack him.


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth hooked up into a smile, pretending that he didn''t notice the arrival of those people ¡­ ¡­


    Now that these people had arrived, he would be able to test out the power of his'' Heavenly Shift Hand ''.


    Not long after, Lin Tian arrived at the Demonic Beast territory he had locked onto earlier. It was a Rank 6 Demonic Beast.


    A Rank 6 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Manifestation stage practitioner, which was also the king of Demonic Beasts.


    Only by fighting with such a demon beast would he be able to fully display the might of the Sky Shifting Hand.


    But Lin Tian was not in a hurry to attack. On the contrary, he stood in his original position as if he was waiting for someone.


    Before long, eight or nine core disciples had gathered in this area.


    The core disciples came from all directions and completely blocked off Lin Tian''s path, including him in this area.


    "Hehe, I never thought that we would meet a direct disciple here. It seems like we brothers are going to make a fortune this time!" One of the disciples greedily looked at Lin Tian and then laughed as he spoke.


    "Yeah, I didn''t expect to meet such a big fat sheep!" The other disciples echoed his words with smiles.


    "Hunting demon beasts every day makes me sick of hunting them. Finally, a big fat sheep has come. Looks like us brothers can rest properly for the next period of time ¡­"


    These core disciples clearly didn''t place Lin Tian in their eyes. Right now they were all looking at Lin Tian, no matter how you looked at it, he looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered ¡­


    Hearing this, Lin Tian finally understood the purpose of these people. He hadn''t thought of it just now, but now, he completely understood.


    These people were here for the points ¡­


    The Lingxiao Sacred Sect did not raise idle people, so any cultivation resources required points to exchange for.


    In the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, points were the hard currency!


    Even if it was the core disciples, or even the direct disciples, the reason why they kept on accepting missions and completing them was for points.


    Of course, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect also encourages disciples to fight with each other. After all, only through continuous combat can the strength of disciples be improved.


    Therefore, battles between disciples would often occur in the Hundred Beast Valley and the Demonic Beast Jungle, all for the sake of plundering points.


    Obviously, Lin Tian was a direct disciple and he was alone. Presumably, he had a lot of points on him.


    In the eyes of these core disciples, of course they could be regarded as a big fat sheep!


    It was just that these foolish and adorable core disciples did not take Lin Tian seriously ¡­


    Lin Tian didn''t really understand. The reason he had said that he would beat down anyone who didn''t like him was to establish his might and reduce unnecessary trouble.


    But from the looks of it, this prestige was not enough ¡­.


    So many core disciples. Presumably, they had never heard of Lin Tian''s name before.


    That was why they surrounded him and wanted the points on him.


    Actually, Lin Tian had a lot of points on him. One must know that back then in the training field, together with Wang Heng, he had stolen quite a few student''s trial tokens, and had also robbed quite a few disciples. He had also obtained a lot of points from those disciples.


    However, ever since Lin Tian walked out of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, Wang Heng seemed to have disappeared and didn''t come to look for Lin Tian. And those points were all on Wang Heng.


    Thinking up to this point, Lin Tian sighed. Perhaps he had to find some time to get those points back ¡­

 C456 We must respect the elders

    But that Wang Heng, he had no idea.


    Lin Tian had already walked out of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, but he didn''t return any points ¡­


    Such a disciple is really one who goes back on his words ¡­


    Lin Tian was currently pondering in his heart. When he wanted to find Wang Heng, he would teach him a lesson and let him know what the consequences were for betraying his will.


    However, at the moment, he had to first get rid of these disciples before talking about anything else ¡­


    Thinking about that, Lin Tian frowned. He stared at the surrounding eight, nine core disciples, and softly said: "What? You''ve already set your sights on me, do you know who I am? "


    "I don''t care who you are. In here, whoever had the biggest fist, no matter who said it, so what if you are a direct disciple? Stealing points is a rule of our sect. Kid, I advise you to obediently hand over your points, in case you suffer physical pain! " A disciple shouted at Lin Tian with a savage face.


    "What if I don''t?" Lin Tian slightly smiled and then looked towards that disciple.


    "Oh, I didn''t expect to meet a thorn here. Haha, we two brothers love to meet a thorn like you ¡­" One of them laughed out loud, but then he turned to the other disciples and said, "Brothers, what are you all standing there for? All of you, charge ¡­"


    With this roar, the other disciples fiercely rushed towards Lin Tian.


    So what if you''re a direct disciple? You''re alone, so compared to them forming a group, don''t you still have to obediently submit?


    It was not the first time those disciples had done such a thing and they cooperated extremely well. At this time, they all made their moves and attacked at different places on Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­


    "A bunch of reckless fools!" Lin Tian coldly snorted, no longer having any good expressions.


    He also decided to not leave any face. These disciples, they typically wouldn''t fight for three days, and the top class would tear them apart ¡­


    Just by beating her up, she became obedient ¡­


    Furthermore, it just so happened that they were the first to learn the might of the Sky Shifting Hand.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer hesitated. He adjusted the strength of his body to its best and also quickly attacked.


    He instantly displayed the God Transforming Steps to the extreme and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before a disciple.


    That disciple only saw a blur in front of his eyes, and didn''t even see clearly. In the next moment, Lin Tian had already blasted out a palm, landing in front of him. That palm''s strength directly blasted him flying ¡­


    The disciple let out a tragic howl and flew out before falling onto the ground, spitting out blood. Furthermore, he never got back up again ¡­


    "Hmm?" As the other disciples saw this, they were startled and a bit angry. They knew that the direct disciple was very strong, but they never imagined that this person was strong to this degree.


    Furthermore, this person was extremely decisive in killing him. He had attacked as soon as he said ''do it''. Moreover, he did not hold back at all. That palm just now had heavily injured that disciple ¡­


    Thinking of this, the others no longer hesitated and used all their strength to crazily attack Lin Tian. The attacks of seven or eight people arrived in front of Lin Tian in the blink of an eye.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled: "You came at the right time!"


    "Today, I will teach all of you a lesson, so you will know what it means to respect your elders and your children!" Lin Tian coldly snorted, but his hands didn''t stop moving.


    According to seniority, Lin Tian could be considered their senior brother, but to brazenly attack their senior brother was simply disrespecting the elderly!


    A disciple like this, of course he had to be taught a lesson.


    "Sky Shifting Hand!" In the next moment, overflowing Yuan Power gathered and condensed into a gigantic palm print in mid-air. In the next moment, that palm print smashed down towards one of the disciples ¡­


    "Sky Shifting Hand?" Some disciples recognized Lin Tian''s attack, and in the next moment, the disciple''s voice sounded again: "Everyone be careful, the target is your hand ¡­."


    Hearing that others had recognized his technique, Lin Tian was not surprised. After all, there were probably many people who had trained this move before ¡­ ¡­


    However, that disciple''s words had no effect on Lin Tian.


    After all, in Lin Tian''s eyes, these core disciples were far from enough ¡­


    The might of the Sky Shifting Hand was incomparably terrifying. In the next moment, a disciple was sent flying with a palm strike.


    After sending that disciple flying, Lin Tian fiercely attacked again. And this time, he used the power of his physical body ¡­


    Lin Tian adjusted his physical body to its peak condition. At this moment, his entire body was emitting a golden light. In the next moment, he fiercely charged towards one of his disciples.


    In the next moment, the moment their bodies collided, the disciple was sent flying backwards while screaming in pain. The bones throughout his body emitted "Kacha Kacha" "sounds. Obviously, after this collision, the bones around the disciple''s body were completely shattered by Lin Tian.


    This strike completely frightened the other disciples.


    Was this brat even human? How could his physical body be so powerful?


    He was terrifyingly strong ¡­


    Moreover, his attacks were fast, hurried, and incomparably terrifying. In the blink of an eye, three or four of the core disciples had already fallen.


    Those who were able to fight were all trembling in fear ¡­


    The other disciples were afraid, but Lin Tian did not hesitate. With a flash of green light in his hand, the Dragon Scale Spear was summoned by Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, the Dragon Scale Spear shot out a ray of terrifying energy and sent a disciple next to him flying.


    In the next moment, the dragon-scaled spear shot out like a dragon, rapidly sending all the disciples flying.


    At this time, these disciples finally understood what kind of existence they had provoked.


    However, it was too late now.


    At this moment, all of them were lying on the ground and moaning non-stop. Lin Tianshu had still saved them, but he had injured them and only needed to rest on the bed for a few months. As for the rest, it did not affect them at all ¡­


    Looking at the disciples lying down one by one, Lin Tian indifferently said: "Is there anyone else who wants my points?"


    Those disciples all looked at Lin Tian as if he was a demon. Who dared to ask for Lin Tian''s points?


    At this moment, all of them shook their heads: "I don''t dare, I don''t dare ¡­"


    "Un, this is more like it ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled: "It''s all for your own good. You all have no respect for your elders, I am teaching you all, respecting the elders, I am your direct disciple after all, your senior brother. In the future, when you see me, remember to call me senior brother ¡­"


    Saying this, Lin Tian had already begun to quickly make his move.


    What he had to do was to search for the disciples'' tokens.


    Lin Tian also had a disciple token and could completely use it to get their points.


    This could be considered as them apologizing to him.


    Lin Tian easily took the points that these core disciples painstakingly accumulated and put into his own pocket.


    "Not bad." Lin Tian nodded his head in satisfaction and was about to leave.


    However, he heard a core disciple ask with a gloomy face, "May I ask Senior Brother''s name?"


    "The way you do things doesn''t change your name. The way you sit there doesn''t change your surname. Lin Tian!" Lin Tian didn''t even turn his head around and added: "Welcome to take revenge on me. But remember, before taking revenge on me, save up enough points ¡­"

 C457 Wind and clouds

    "Lin Tian?" After Lin Tian finished speaking about his identity, everyone''s hearts were like dying embers. The trace of hatred in their hearts also instantly disappeared.


    What a joke, this is that Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian who walked out of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land. Lin Tian who said that he would beat up anyone who didn''t like him ¡­


    And I heard that last time, in the challenge, Liu Feng, who was ranked in the top ten of the core disciple rankings, went to challenge Lin Tian.


    In the end, when it came to the domain that Liu Feng excelled in, which was the physical body, Lin Tian had exploded Liu Feng with a single blow.


    Not only that, it was said that this kid also said that Liu Feng went the wrong way in body refining.


    With this, Liu Feng immediately knelt on the ground and begged Lin Tian to accept him as a disciple.


    But later on, Lin Tian only gave a few pointers to Liu Feng and rejected him. He didn''t accept him.


    This matter was spread far and wide in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, to the point that no one was unaware of it.


    However, none of these disciples had seen Lin Tian''s true face. How could they have known that they had actually provoked this monster, Lin Tian ¡­


    At this moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay. No one said a word.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian turned around and did not care about them. This group of disciples were just too arrogant. They took the chance to teach them a lesson on behalf of the heavens.


    Lin Tian wasn''t afraid that they would come take revenge. If they truly wanted to find him for revenge, they would only be here to give him points.


    Lin Tian didn''t forget his purpose for coming here. He turned around and went to look for the Rank 6 Demonic Beast.


    After all, the sixth stage demon beast was Lin Tian''s true goal.


    Perhaps the scene of Lin Tian teaching those eight and nine core disciples a lesson was discovered by the other disciples. At this time, Lin Tian was once again walking in the Hundred Beast Valley, but no one dared to come look for trouble with him.


    That rank 6 beast was a silver wolf. It had a cold nature, so it was in the middle of a cold pond in this area.


    Lin Tian directly arrived in front of the cold pond. Without even thinking about it, he used the Sky Shifting Hand and shot out.


    The monstrous Yuan Power surged with a terrifying palm force. A palm strike blasted out a huge wave that was over a dozen feet high. It looked extremely terrifying.


    The Twisting Heaven Hand was a classic attack. It was said that when the technique was mastered to perfection, it could display the power of the Twisting Heaven Hand. As for the name of the technique, it was named after that.


    Lin Tian didn''t know whether or not he had the might of a heavenly tribulation, but after thinking about it for a bit, he felt that it was unlikely.


    After all, this was only a Spirit Level Martial Skill. How could it have such strong power?


    However, the offensive power of this martial art was quite strong. There was no need to doubt it.


    With the strength of one palm, Lin Tian directly forced the silver wolf out.


    The silver wolf angrily roared as it charged at Lin Tian, but Lin Tian did not hesitate as he directly used a Sky Twisting Palm to instantly strike at the silver wolf.


    However, the silver wolf was not afraid in the slightest and instead tore Lin Tian''s large hand seal into pieces.


    In the next moment, the silver wolf fiercely pounced towards Lin Tian. It opened its bloody mouth as if it wanted to bite Lin Tian to death.


    However, Lin Tian obviously could not give it such an opportunity. In the next moment, he used the God Transforming Steps to the extreme and Lin Tian''s body actually moved half an inch away. Like this, he dangerously dodged the Silver Wolf''s attack.


    At the same time, Lin Tian did not hesitate and once again used the Sky Twisting Hand to attack the silver wolf ¡­


    Not only did the silver wolf lose its attack, instead, it was once again hit by Lin Tian''s palm. Immediately, it became a bit angry from embarrassment.


    Its body suddenly started to grow. In the next moment, the silver wolf grew into a huge monster. It then fiercely pounced towards Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian still did not counterattack, nor did he use any other moves. Instead, he once again used the God Transforming Steps to dodge the Silver Wolf''s attack ¡­


    His purpose for coming here was to train his Heaven Throwing Hand, and not to simply hunt demon beasts. Of course, conveniently giving this silver wolf to the ice silkworm as food was a piece of cake ¡­


    Using the God Transforming Steps, Lin Tian once again moved half an inch and disappeared from where he stood. At the same time, another Sky Shifting Hand was used. A huge palm once again smashed towards the silver wolf.


    This cycle continued for an unknown amount of time before the silver wolf finally ran out of energy from Lin Tian.


    However, the silver wolf could also tell that Lin Tian couldn''t kill it, so it decided to not continue to tangle with Lin Tian and wanted to return to its own cold pond.


    But just as it was about to return to the cold pond, Lin Tian suddenly attacked. This time, Lin Tian used the Dragon Scale Spear.


    In addition, he was even using the technique for the Dragon''s Tomb. That''s right, it was the fifth technique from the Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Terminator.


    The sound of a dragon''s scale spear roared as it thrust towards the silver wolf. The fur of the silver wolf standing in mid-air immediately stood up, as if it had felt a killing intent ¡­


    However, it was already too late when it wanted to dodge.


    The power of the Lone Death Spear was incomparably terrifying. It instantly pierced through the head of the silver wolf.


    The silver wolf let out a howl and fell to the ground. It was already dead to the point that it couldn''t be any more dead ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly put away the Silver Wolf''s corpse. First, he put away the Silver Wolf''s blood and inner core. These things were quite useful to Lin Tian.


    The remains of the silver wolf were given to the ice silkworm on his left hand.


    The ice silkworm had absorbed the complete power of the Nine Colored Thunder Soul in the forbidden area of Navy Tide. It probably wouldn''t be long before it reached the realm of the second transformation.


    That was good news.


    After all, the stronger the ice silkworm was, the more powerful the support it could provide.


    At the same time, just as Lin Tian was training his Sky Hand Technique in the Hundred Beast Valley, a commotion started within the sect ¡­


    The Nine Peak Elders had called the disciples who were out on missions back from the outside.


    After all, this was the biggest battle of the six sects.


    At this time, almost all of the direct disciples had gathered.


    Of course, as soon as these direct disciples returned, they heard about Lin Tian''s achievements.


    Everyone was extremely curious. What was so special about this Lin Tian?


    To think that the Great Elder would have such green eyes. But unfortunately, when they wanted to visit Lin Tian, they discovered that Lin Tian''s cave was already empty ¡­.


    They were left in a tight corner, but as a result, the direct disciples didn''t pay too much attention to this matter.


    Coupled with the fact that Lin Tian had been in the Hundred Beast Valley for a long time and had not returned to his cave, they had gradually forgotten about this matter ¡­


    Time passed in a flash, and at this time, Lin Tian had already been in the Hundred Beast Valley for half a month.


    In this period of time, he had gained a lot. He had killed dozens, and hundreds, of Stage Five and Nine demonic beasts.


    The blood of these monsters were all completely preserved by Lin Tian.


    As for the corpses, they were used as food for the icy silkworms.


    Gradually, the core disciples in the Hundred Beast Valley suddenly realized that the number of Rank 5 and Rank 6 Demonic Beasts in the Valley had decreased by a lot.


    Of course, in the Hundred Beast Valley, there were even stronger demon beasts that were at the sixth level fifth rank and above. These were not things that the core disciples could deal with. Those demon beasts that were at the fifth level and above had all been killed ¡­


    All of the core disciples had some doubts. Some of the core disciples were even cursing. They didn''t know which wicked person killed all the demon beasts.


    If that was the case, it would be much more difficult for them to hunt demon beasts in the Hundred Beast Valley ¡­


    Lin Tian also fell into a situation where there were no demon beasts to hunt. He thought for a long time and finally decided to take this opportunity to go to the Ghost Domain Valley.


    Hundred Beast Valley was right next to the Ghost Domain Valley. Even now, he still remembered the strangeness of the Ghost Domain Valley. This was also the reason why he wanted to investigate it thoroughly.


    Unknowingly, Lin Tian had a feeling that there was something attracting him from within the Demon Valley. He didn''t go, but only kept feeling that his heart was empty ¡­ ¡­

 C458 A further exploration of the demon valley

    Lin Tian acted as soon as he said action, almost without any hesitation. After packing up for a while, he directly went to the Demon''s Valley.


    In fact, the Demon Abyss is considered a forbidden area within the Virtuous Cloud Sect ¡­


    However, the forbidden area of Ghost Domain Valley was not the same as the forbidden area of Navy Tide.


    This was because the Navy Tide Forbidden Land would not return, but this was not the case for the Demon Valley.


    The Demon''s Valley was actually a tomb, which was also the burial ground for the disciples and elders of the Cloudsoaring sect. There were many elders, sect heads, and even some of the important figures of the sect ¡­


    Normally, no one would go to this place. Even if it wasn''t a forbidden area, no one would go to a place with dense dark energy. After all, there weren''t any demonic beasts there, and there weren''t any other places that were worth going to.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian found out from a core disciple that this Spirit Demon was also a punishment ground ¡­ ¡­


    If a disciple violated the sect rules, one of the punishments would be throwing the disciple into the Demon Valley to die.


    Hearing this punishment, Lin Tian was still puzzled. Let him live or die?


    Does the senior executives of the sect know what''s inside this Demon Valley?


    However, the core disciple did not know what exactly was in the Demon Abyss, he only said that to some extent, the Demon Abyss was no different from the Navy Tide Forbidden Land. In any case, he had heard that as long as it was a disciple that was thrown into the Demon Abyss, almost no one would be able to come out alive ¡­


    Actually, from the start, when Lin Tian asked about the Demon Valley, that core disciple''s face was a bit unnatural. It was even to the point that he didn''t want to reply, as if he was afraid of getting infected with the bad luck inside.


    Lin Tian had given him a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, so he was willing to say more, but that was all. When Lin Tian wanted to ask more, the disciple could not say more, because he did not know any more secrets about the Demon Valley.


    However, like this, it greatly increased Lin Tian''s curiosity. He wanted to know what exactly was inside the Ghost Domain Valley. He clearly remembered the extremely terrifying cries and the long and narrow ghost-like shadow inside the Ghost Domain Valley. Of course, there was also that barrier.


    Just as Lin Tian was thinking about it, he didn''t notice that as he was getting closer and closer to the Demon Abyss, in the Dragon Symbol Space, the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse suddenly moved a little ¡­


    Before entering the Demon Valley, just to be safe, Lin Tian summoned the Celestial Mouse.


    The Celestial Mouse was after all a primordial beast, and it also had the Heaven''s Eyes and spirit nose. With it around, Lin Tian more or less felt more at ease.


    And the more time passed, the more Lin Tian missed Hornless. After all, from the Sky Dragon Academy all the way until now, Hornless had been accompanying him ¡­


    It was a pity that the Horned Demon had only a sliver of his soul left. He didn''t know when he would be able to see the Horned Demon again.


    Lin Tian slightly shook his head and threw these messy thoughts to the back of his mind.


    He took a deep breath and entered the Ghost Domain Valley ¡­


    To Lin Tian, the barrier power from the Demon Trail Valley was completely useless. He used his Mental Energy to tear open a crack and then entered the Demon Trail Valley.


    However, what Lin Tian did not know was that after he tore open the crack, there was a hidden ancestral hall on the main peak of Lingxiao Holy Sect, Lingxiao Peak.


    There were ancestral tablets dedicated to the sect head and some elders of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, from the day the sect was opened to the day the sect had passed away.


    After Lin Tian had torn apart the barrier in front of the Demon Valley, those tablets began to wildly tremble.


    At this moment, Ling Wuji, who was sitting in the middle of the temple, suddenly opened his eyes.


    "Hmm?" Ling Wuji''s eyes flashed with coldness, "Who is courting death? How dare he go to the Demon''s Valley?"


    However, when he carefully inspected the source of the energy, Ling Wuji''s expression suddenly became excited.


    "It''s that kid again!" Ling Wuji was half helpless and half smiling. It was not enough for this guy to just barge into a forbidden area!


    Just how many lives did he have ¡­


    However, even though he said that, Ling Wuji was still a little worried. He rushed out of Lingxiao Peak and headed straight into the Demon Valley.


    After Lin Tian entered the Demon Abyss, the barrier that he tore started to grow on its own. Very quickly, the crack was sewn up and everything was restored.


    "Huh?" As soon as they entered the Demon''s Valley, the Celestial Mouse immediately cried out in alarm: "There''s such a strange place here?"


    The tone of the Celestial Mouse was filled with incredulity, moreover, he was staring fixedly at the Demon Valley as he looked around ¡­


    "What strange method?" He did not expect that the Heavenly Mouse would be able to sense the strangeness of this Demon Abyss as soon as it entered. It seems like letting the Heavenly Mouse come out and help him was the right decision.


    "This place, this place seems to have the aura of a treasure ¡­" The Celestial Mouse hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and speaking uncertainly.


    "There''s really a treasure?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief as he looked at the Celestial Mouse.


    To be honest, he didn''t enter the Ghost Hell Valley because he knew that there was a treasure there.


    He had a faint feeling that if he didn''t enter the Ghost Hell Valley, he would be missing something.


    However, he didn''t expect that the moment he entered, he would hear an unexpected surprise.


    The heavenly mouse actually said that there was a treasure here?


    "Don''t be anxious, wait for Ancestor to investigate it properly ¡­" Skypiercing Mouse shook his head and opened his third eye on his forehead.


    Lin Tian wasn''t afraid that the secret of having the Celestial Mouse would be discovered by others.


    Because in the Demon Valley, it was almost impossible to see anyone.


    This place was like an asura hell, and there were tombs everywhere. Some tombs had already been razed to the ground due to the corrosion of time. The remains of bones could still be vaguely seen within the tombs. It was extremely horrifying.


    Furthermore, this place seemed to be filled with a strange, rotten aura. That aura must have been accumulated over the years, and caused anyone who smelled it to feel suffocated and depressed.


    Lin Tian emitted his own golden blood aura, completely dispersing the rotten stench in the surroundings.


    The Celestial Mouse opened his eyes and carefully surveyed his surroundings. However, after a long time, the Celestial Mouse spoke with a defeated expression, "This is completely unreasonable. The Ancestor clearly sensed that aura, but why is it that I can''t find it?"


    The Celestial Mouse was unwilling to give up. It opened its spiritual nose and began to carefully sniff the surrounding ground.


    Lin Tian followed closely behind the Celestial Mouse.


    At the same time, Lin Tian seemed to suddenly hear some rustling and rustling sounds coming from beneath his feet. It seemed that there was something approaching Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­


    He knew that the things inside would either not make a move, and once he made a move, it would be fatal. The blood qi in his body had been spread to the extreme, and a powerful and terrifying strength firmly wrapped around him and the Celestial Mouse.


    At the same time, Ling Wuji, who had rushed over from Lingxiao Peak, also came to the Demon Abyss.


    As soon as he arrived, he saw the Celestial Mouse next to Lin Tian.


    A trace of doubt flashed across Ling Wuji''s eyes, but soon after, he suddenly remembered. Three Heaven Eyes, could it be the Celestial Mouse?


    This move from Ling Wuji''s heart was completely shocked by Lin Tian.


    He hadn''t thought that this boy would actually have a primordial beast like the Celestial Mouse as his helper. It was simply inconceivable!


    However, Ling Wuji quickly suppressed the shock in his heart. He started to carefully observe the situation in the Demon Abyss ¡­

 C459 Phantom shadow

    "Sou sou sou ¡­" Just at this time, such a voice suddenly came from behind Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, a long and narrow shadow fiercely pounced towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s heart had already prepared for this. He fiercely waved the Dragon Scale Spear and stabbed it towards the shadow.


    But that was just a shadow after all. The dragon scale spear attack was completely useless against that shadow.


    The dragon-scaled spear pierced through the shadow. However, it did not cause any harm to the shadow ¡­


    After failing his attack, that shadow once again fiercely tore towards Lin Tian to bite at him. At this time, Lin Tian finally clearly saw the appearance of that shadow.


    Actually, to say that it''s a shadow isn''t entirely accurate because a shadow doesn''t have any facial features. However, the shadow in front of me right now has the face of a human ¡­


    Lin Tian could clearly see the greedy expression on that face, as well as the thirst for blood in his eyes.


    "Could it be, could it be that the narrow and long black shadows that Lin Tian saw through the barrier that night was this thing in front of his eyes?


    Just as Lin Tian was thinking this, the shadow once again rushed towards Lin Tian.


    The instant the shadow moved, an extremely terrifying shriek came out of its mouth, causing one''s eardrums to hurt.


    As this sharp whistle sounded out, Lin Tian felt as if even his own soul had been affected.


    "This is bad!" Lin Tian Deng''s heart sank. He never would have thought that this shadow''s scream could actually affect his soul.


    Inside the Divine Manor, Lin Tian''s soul was in the middle of his eyebrows. At this time, the Ancient Dragon Rune also felt the early warning from his body. Suddenly, it shot out a gentle light that enveloped Lin Tian''s soul.


    Lin Tian immediately regained consciousness, but the shadow had already arrived in front of Lin Tian. The shadow opened up its mouth and was about to bite Lin Tian''s neck.


    Lin Tian, on the other hand, instinctively used the God Transforming Steps. In this life or death situation, the God Transforming Steps still displayed its power. Lin Tian immediately disappeared from where he stood. He shifted his body by half an inch and only then was he able to escape the shadow''s killing blow ¡­


    Lin Tian was still in a panicked state, but the shadow directly gave up on Lin Tian. On the contrary, it turned around and pounced towards the Celestial Mouse.


    "Damn, why are you here for the ancestor? "The ancestor didn''t provoke you, but that brat provoked you. Furthermore, the ancestor''s meat is not tasty, go eat that brat''s ¡­" The Celestial Mouse was given a fright as its mouth incessantly chattered. However, its speed was incomparably quick. In the blink of an eye, the Celestial Mouse was already in front of Lin Tian.


    In the next moment, it turned into a brand and landed on Lin Tian''s right hand.


    Before leaving, the Celestial Mouse spoke out, "Kid, you have to finish off all these damned things first before calling the ancestor out. To deal with these things isn''t what the ancestor is good at ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s face was gloomy as he stared unwaveringly at the shadow. The Celestial Mouse obviously did not recognize these shadows. What kind of monster was they, if not it would have told Lin Tian just now ¡­


    Since he didn''t know what this damned thing was, he was naturally in a passive position because he couldn''t find a suitable method to get rid of it.


    Lin Tian thought for a while and before the shadow pounced at him, he completely released the Blood Qi around his body. The whirlpool of his Dantian continuously circulated and stimulated Lin Tian''s blood, releasing a large amount of Blood Qi. That Blood Qi emitted a bright golden light and then enveloped Lin Tian''s entire body.


    Lin Tian wanted to see how his blood energy would affect these shadows, but unfortunately, in the instant that Lin Tian released his blood energy, not only did he not push back the shadow, he had even stimulated the shadows ¡­


    At this time, the bloodthirsty desire and greed on the shadow''s face became even more intense, and as if it could smell the blood, the shadow immediately seemed to have been injected with blood, and its strength once again increased explosively, fiercely pouncing towards Lin Tian.


    At the same time, rustling sounds came from the ground around Lin Tian. Not long after, those sounds suddenly started to gather together.


    Lin Tian''s heart sank. If he hadn''t guessed incorrectly, the things that came out from the ground must be ghosts like the shadow in front of him. Moreover, they were all aimed at him ¡­.


    Indeed, in the next moment, from under the ground, a long and narrow shadow drilled out once again. At this moment, they were abnormally excited as they roared out sharp sounds that seemed to be able to pierce through one''s eardrums. One by one, they charged towards Lin Tian like a tide, as if Lin Tian was the most delicious prey in their eyes.


    At the same time, Lin Tian did not stay idle. Instead, he started to condense Spirit power Essence Stab from the Divine Palace. He wanted to test the attack of Spirit power and see if it could be used on these shadows ¡­


    Currently, Lin Tian had already finished condensing the Mental Energy Yuan Thrust in the blink of an eye. Then, like arrows, they shot towards the shadows.


    Spirit power attacks were indeed useful for the shadows. After Lin Tian released the Spirit power Essence Stab, it slowed down the speed of the shadows'' attacks.


    However, it didn''t seem to be of much use. Although the speed of the shadows had slowed down, they didn''t do any damage to their bodies ¡­


    Endless shadows rose and fell, continuously rushing over. Looking at the black mass of shadows, Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel his scalp go numb ¡­


    At the same time, Ling Wuji, who was watching everything that was happening outside, started to feel anxious.


    He almost couldn''t hold it in and wanted to make a move, but he was also afraid that if he did, it would stimulate and awaken something even more powerful down in the Demon Valley and then come out.


    At that time, all of this would truly be impossible for him to handle ¡­


    Thinking of this, Ling Wuji became even more furious. Why did this Lin Tian keep causing trouble for him?


    But after thinking about it, since the last time he summoned Lin Tian to an audience, he closed his doors and did not care about Lin Tian anymore.


    However, he never thought that Lin Tian''s lesson in the Navy Tide Forbidden Area would not be enough, and would actually come to the Demon Valley.


    For a while, Ling Wuji was in a dilemma. He didn''t know what to do.

 C460 Metamorphosis of earth fiend yin corpses

    At this time, as Lin Tian''s blood qi continued to spread out, the number of shadows that he attracted also increased. Countless shadows were crazily rushing towards Lin Tian and they had already completely surrounded him.


    Lin Tian had no choice but to summon the Icy Silkworm on his left hand once again. The Icy Jade Silkworm let out a surging wave of cold air. The might of this cold air seemed to be able to freeze the surrounding air.


    However, it was a pity that the Chilling Qi was of no use to these shadows.


    As a result, when Lin Tian used all of his methods, none of them could stop the speed of the shadows.


    In the blink of an eye, these shadows were about to rush in front of Lin Tian, but in Lin Tian''s Divine Manor, the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpses in the Dragon Symbol Space suddenly throbbed ¡­ ¡­


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised, but he did not hesitate and immediately released the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse from the Dragon Symbol Space. He did not expect that at the end of the day, it would actually be the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also took out a piece of the Extreme Violet Jade from the Dragon Symbol Space. The Extreme Violet Jade contained a large amount of spirit energy, it should be able to activate the Earth Terminus Puppet Yin Corpse ¡­


    However, he did not expect that the moment the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse appeared, it would suddenly open its eyes.


    "What?" Lin Tian was shocked. He had never thought that this Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse would actually open its eyes ¡­


    Could it be, this Earth Terminus Puppet Yin Corpse already has a consciousness?


    Just as Lin Tian was in a daze, the Earth Terminus Puppet Yin Corpse had already made its move.


    His five fingers formed a claw and in the blink of an eye, he had captured a shadow. In the next moment, Lin Tian felt something even more horrifying happen.


    The Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, it actually opened its mouth and swallowed the shadow ¡­


    "What the f * ck!?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but curse. Everything in front of him had completely overturned everything he knew.


    That Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, it was clearly just a puppet, how could it be possible, for him to act by himself?


    When he had obtained this Earth Fiend puppet Yin Corpse from Xiao Kuangge, he had left it with a large puppet technique, which was used to control this puppet.


    However, Lin Tian had not used the Earth Fiend puppet as an important item. First, it was the Yin Corpse puppet that he needed to use, and it required a large amount of spirit stones.


    Back then, Lin Tian, he did not have enough spirit stones to cultivate, so he naturally would not spend spirit stones to request the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to help him.


    But later on, even though Lin Tian had enough spirit stones, he did not activate the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse once.


    This was because, in many cases, it would be of no use even if it was used.


    Also, for the majority of the time, Lin Tian''s own methods were more than enough to deal with any problem.


    This was the first time that no matter what methods he used, they were all useless against these shadows ¡­


    However, he did not expect the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to be so fierce, to be able to open its mouth to devour these shadows.


    When the shadows couldn''t hurt him, Lin Tian once again opened the Great Puppet Technique.


    The Great Puppet Technique was previously completely memorized by Lin Tian and turned into a thought. It was hidden within Lin Tian''s soul. Now, after reading it again, Lin Tian began to carefully study the Great Puppet Technique from the beginning ¡­


    "Hmm?" Ling Wuji, who was watching this from the outside, also looked at the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse in disbelief.


    "A puppet?" After looking at it for a moment, Ling Wuji was sure that it was a puppet corpse.


    But immediately, a wave of doubt welled up in his heart, "Just what kind of Yin Corpse is it, it''s so terrifying, actually able to devour this charm?"


    Of course, he had another question. That was, how many treasures did Lin Tian have?


    This Earth Terminus Yin Corpse, it seems like it has already grown to an extremely terrifying level. This brat, where did he obtain this kind of treasure?


    "Kacha, kacha..." The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse continued to swallow the shadows, emitting a sound that would make one''s hair stand on end.


    Lin Tian''s face turned serious at this moment.


    He had just finished flipping through the Great Puppet Technique, so he couldn''t tell if his mood was good or bad.


    The reason was simple, this Earth Terminus Yin Corpse seemed to have exceeded his expectations.


    According to the introduction of the Great Puppet Technique, Earth Fiend Yin Corpses could absorb the infernal energy in the ground and cultivate it to produce baleful qi. In other words, even if it was a puppet, they would still be able to cultivate it.


    But once cultivated to a certain degree, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse would very likely open its spirit!


    Opening the spirit, as the name implied, was to open the spirit. Once this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse opened its spirit, it was very likely to evolve and evolve.


    At that time, this Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse would have a very high chance of becoming a spirit corpse.


    The corpse had a spirit, so it was naturally turned into a spirit corpse.


    Spirit Corpses belonged to another stage. At this moment, this Spirit Corpse was no different from a human.


    Although he would still be manipulated by the operator, he would often have his own thoughts.


    In other words, this could potentially escape the control of the controller ¡­


    And when one reached the spirit corpse realm, a crucial factor in deciding that was opening one''s eyes.


    That was to see if the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had opened its eyes, this was the key ¡­


    But just now, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had opened its eyes, otherwise, how could he see these shadows, and at the same time devour them.


    Thus, Lin Tian was very sure that this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was already at the Awakening Realm ¡­


    Only, Lin Tian was troubled, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, opening its spirit was definitely a good thing, because, a Earth Fiend Yin Corpse opening its spirit would be even stronger and more terrifying.


    But at the same time, it would be even more dangerous because it was very possible that this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse did not think it was able to control the Yin Corpse and could even eat Lin Tian with kacha kacha.


    After all, once the spirit opens, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse would have its own judgement.


    Another good thing is, once this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse opens its spirit, it can cultivate its power, and it will no longer need spirit stones to support its power consumption ¡­


    Lin Tian was in a dilemma. Opening the spirit had its advantages, but it also had its drawbacks. However, the puppet technique did not mention how to control the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse ¡­


    More importantly, this puppet technique was incomplete.


    Of course, this was not an incomplete book, but Lin Tian guessed that this should only be the first volume, there should still be a second volume. After all, the record was not completely recorded ¡­ ¡­


    While Lin Tian was looking at the large puppet technique, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had already swallowed dozens of shadows ¡­ ¡­

 C461 The change of the diabolic valley

    Lin Tian truly didn''t know what to do at this time.


    The change in the Earth Fiend Puppet''s Yin Corpse was something he had never thought of. How to solve this problem had also become Lin Tian''s greatest headache.


    But now, it was very clear that this Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse had already exceeded Lin Tian''s expectations. Moreover, right now, he just so happened to need the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to help him solve the crisis in front of him.


    Not long after, the Earth Fiend Puppet''s Yin Corpse became more and more terrifying. At the beginning, it was trying to devour the shadow, but later on, it opened its mouth and sucked the shadow into its mouth.


    As a result, it greatly increased the speed at which the Earth Fiend Yin Corpses devoured the shadows.


    In just a short period of time, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had already swallowed all of the surrounding densely packed shadows into its own stomach. And after absorbing all of these shadows, its use towards the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was also obvious.


    Not long later, the Earth Terminus Puppet Yin Corpse that had devoured countless shadows had once again undergone some changes. Its entire body had quickly turned red, at this moment, its entire body was covered in a light red glow, looking extremely terrifying ¡­


    This was the first time Lin Tian had seen the Earth Terminus Puppet Yin Corpse change, so he was at a loss.


    He wanted to ask the Celestial Mouse, but unfortunately, the Celestial Mouse didn''t know of this change in the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, whether it was good or bad ¡­


    At the same time, Ling Wuji''s face started to change rapidly. From the initial shock and confusion, his face became serious.


    Of course, Ling Wuji knew what those shadows in the Ghost Hell Valley were, but the more he did so, the more worried he became.


    After all, the Earth Fiend Puppet that Lin Tian owned was actually able to swallow up all the shadows. Then, what kind of changes would happen to the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpses after devouring all the shadows? Whether this was good or bad for the Demon Valley, or whether it was good or bad for the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, he had to consider ¡­


    After pondering for a moment, Ling Wuji still felt that he could not allow the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse to absorb the charm like this. Thus, without hesitation, he chose to stop the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse.


    However, just when Ling Wuji was about to intervene and stop him, something strange happened in the Ghost Domain Valley!


    Originally, the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse had already devoured countless shadows. Later on, as it absorbed more, the strength of the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse also increased. As a result, the speed at which it devoured the shadows became faster and faster ¡­


    It was almost a vicious circle, and no one could stop it.


    In the blink of an eye, the tide of shadows had completely entered the stomach of the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse.


    As a result, the other shadows were like frightened birds as they quickly escaped into the ground, never to be seen again.


    Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief. At this time, he could still feel the faint connection between him and this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse. It was the unique connection between their souls.


    After all, Lin Tian cultivated the Great Puppet Technique, the Great Puppet Technique also recorded the method to control the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse.


    From the start, Lin Tian''s spiritual will had been hiding inside the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    At this moment, the strand of spiritual will was still there, but it was already very weak. He could feel that after the Earth Fiend Corpse Awakened its spirit, it urgently wanted to break free from Lin Tian''s spiritual will interference.


    Lin Tian''s eyes were filled with seriousness. He knew that if this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse really did kill him with his spiritual will, at that time, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse would not be something he could control.


    Although Lin Tian did not know what those shadows were, but if they could be used as food and nourishment for the Earth Fiend Yin Corpses, then their strength must be similar.


    Then, the more Earth Fiend Yin Corpses absorb, the more power they will have.


    Only when it reached a point where Lin Tian couldn''t control it did it end.


    Although he did not use this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, but while nurturing it, Lin Tian had spent a lot of effort. He did not want this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to become a duck that had not been cooked properly, and directly flew away ¡­ ¡­


    Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s body once again began to emit a terrifying light red glow. Lin Tian could faintly feel that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was still far from being satisfied.


    Unfortunately, those shadows had already fled in all directions. Many of them drilled back into the ground, never to be seen again.


    However, the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse had already opened its spirit, so he was able to make his own judgement. At this moment, he wanted to look for those shadows, so without hesitation, the Earth Fiend Puppet Yin Corpse, immediately moved, directly rushing towards the depths of the Demon Valley.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Tian did not dare to hesitate at all. He used the God Transforming Steps and followed closely behind.


    He wanted to see where the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse would run to ¡­


    At the same time, outside of the barrier, Ling Wuji who was staring at Lin Tian and the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse did not hesitate and directly followed in Lin Tian''s footsteps ¡­


    Lin Tian kept on running forward and wherever his gaze passed by, he saw overgrown weeds and tombs. However, he was not surprised. This was originally the burial ground for all the elders and sect heads.


    Only, Lin Tian did not quite understand.


    Boneyard, why did it have to be in this dark and sinister Demon Valley?


    And, what exactly were those shadows?


    Was it something that existed in the Demon Abyss, or was it the result of the Demon Abyss'' unique environment?


    There were two possibilities.


    However, right now Lin Tian was more worried about the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, so he didn''t have the time to think about other things.


    The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse ran all the way, its speed was incredibly fast, before long, it came from the periphery of the Demon Abyss, to the center of the valley.


    The center of the Demon Valley was even more terrifying.


    When Lin Tian first arrived here, he was so shocked by everything that he was almost unable to breathe.


    This, could this be the true appearance of the Demon Trail Valley?


    White bones were everywhere in this place, and the black blood seemed to converge into a river that emitted a thick and pungent smell.


    To use the description of mountains of corpses and seas of bones, it wasn''t excessive at all ¡­


    Not only that, at the center of the Demon Abyss, there was an extremely terrifying canyon.


    At the bottom of the canyon, there are numerous dark shadows everywhere...


    Lin Tian''s breathing became hurried and his scalp became numb. Just what kind of place was this, why was there such a terrifying thing and what kind of power had formed it?


    Also, everything that happened here, was there anyone in the upper echelons of the Virtuous Cloud Sect that knew about it?


    If he knew why no one came to manage it, there would be tens of thousands of shadows here. Even in the depths of the gorge that Lin Tian couldn''t see with his eyes, there might be even more terrifying places with even more shadows ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian had exchanged blows with these shadows. Ordinary people''s methods simply could not injure these shadows. If the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had not acted just now, Lin Tian would very likely have chosen to leave this place.


    These shadows were so terrifying. If they were to run out of the Demon Valley and tear those barriers apart, the consequences would be unimaginable!


    Lin Tian thought about it and felt a sense of terror. If these shadows had escaped, not even three days, no, not even a day, then Ling Xiao''s entire Glory Sect would have become a living hell.


    No one could stop them!


    Lin Tian''s breath quickened. He had already decided in his heart that as long as he left the Demon Abyss, he would immediately tell Ling Wuji everything that happened in the Demon Abyss ¡­


    However, contrary to Lin Tian''s reaction, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was completely excited.


    Facing these endless shadows, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse seemed to have entered heaven.


    Like a fierce tiger, he pounced on the shadows.


    He opened his mouth wide, and countless of shadows were automatically swallowed into the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s stomach.


    Not long later, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse''s stomach suddenly grew larger.


    Not only that, in the next moment, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse''s body also began to swell.


    From the height of a person to the height of two people, in the end, it had actually directly grown into the size of a giant.


    As a result, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s mouth opened wider and wider.


    A huge suction force came from the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s mouth. Countless shadows did not even have the strength to retaliate, and were completely sucked into the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s stomach ¡­


    At the same time, Ling Wuji also rushed over. He saw the shocking scene in front of him.


    He knew what was going on in the Demon Valley.


    Before the Sect Leader went into closed door cultivation, he had brought him here before, so Ling Wuji knew better than anyone else what was going on in the Demon Abyss.


    Master told Ling Wuji everything.


    Ling Wuji knew what Master meant.


    He had always been paying attention to the situation within the Demon''s Valley.


    However, Ling Wuji frowned when he saw the scene in front of him. The situation was much worse than he expected!


    Their strength had increased again!

 C462 The treasure beneath the canyon

    The things in this Demon Valley are called charms.


    The evil spirit of evil spirits.


    The so-called charm, in general terms, was actually more suitable to be called miasma because it was originally recorded in the ancient records as the charm was formed from miasma. Normally, in areas filled with miasma and poison gas, the degree of proliferation of the charm would be extremely fast.


    The things in the Valley of Ghosts in the Cloudsoaring Holy Sect were just like a charm.


    Moreover, this was something that existed even before the establishment of the Lingxiao Saint Sect.


    Speaking of which, it was also a helpless choice.


    Back then, the founder of the Holy Sect, Saint Ling Xiao, had traveled to many places in the Western Spiritual Realm and finally decided to start his own sect here. There was no other reason but the density of the spiritual energy here, making him one of the strongest in the Western Spiritual Realm.


    Of course, at that time, he''d already discovered the Demon Valley.


    However, at that time, he didn''t care too much about it.


    This is because for a Saint realm expert to kill off these little things, it can be said that the one who did it behind the scenes ¡­


    But later on, after the establishment of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect and the testimony of its disciples, Ling Xiao could feel that something was amiss.


    The problem was in the Demon Valley ¡­


    It turned out that Saint Ling Xiao had underestimated the power of this charm.


    These spirits not only had a strong reproduction ability, they also had an extremely strong growth ability. Saint Ling Xiao guessed that there seemed to be a source of power at the bottom of this Great Canyon of the Demon Abyss.


    This situation immediately attracted the attention of Saint Ling Xiao.


    After nurturing a few of his disciples, Ling Xiao finally decided to take the risk and head to the canyon to take a look. He wanted to see what was down there ¡­


    The bad news also started on that day.


    Ten years later, Saint Ling Xiao returned from the canyon. Of course, he returned with a body full of injuries.


    Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it could not be called an injury. Instead, it would be called a poison.


    Saint Ling Xiao came back with a body full of poison. In fact, he was lucky that he didn''t die.


    After returning, Saint Ling Xiao went into seclusion for ten years, but unfortunately, he failed. That level of poison was extremely powerful, even the power of his domain was corroded and turned into nothingness.


    The power of the poison had already taken root in the body of Saint Ling Xiao, unable to be removed.


    Before he passed away in meditation, Ling Xiao summoned his own disciple, telling him what had happened in the Demon Valley ¡­


    Saint Ling Xiao left his last words, "First, the previous sect leader, after her death, buried in the Demon Valley ¡­"


    "Second, after he dies, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect will temporarily remain dormant, not fighting for the number one sect ¡­"


    "Third, there is something scary down in the Demon Abyss. Of course, it is also a lucky chance, as long as there is a disciple who can get rid of the disaster in the Demon Valley, regardless of whether they are elders, disciples, or sect master, as long as they can get rid of the disaster, the sect master will enjoy the same kind of sacrifice as Saint Ling Xiao, both elders and disciples. If they can get rid of the disaster, they can be chosen as the candidate for sect head and become the next sect head ¡­"


    After saying that, Ling Xiao immediately passed away.


    After he passed away, even his flesh had decayed, directly turning into a pool of black blood. Not even his bones remained.


    A saint''s body originally had an immortal body, but this Ling Xiao''s body had actually decayed. From this, it could be seen just how terrifying the poison was.


    These three last words were passed down from generation to generation, and after the sect heads died, they all entered the Demon Abyss to be buried.


    Previously, Ling Wuji did not know anything about this, but after the Sect Master failed his closed door cultivation and went to the Demon Abyss, Ling Wuji finally knew about these three last words.


    He also knew why Ling Xiao had left his last words for the sect head to be buried in the Demon Abyss.


    It was not actually to bury them, but to pacify them.


    Charm loved human blood and ate human flesh.


    After each generation''s sect master died, they would raise those beauties with their own bodies.


    That''s right, raise them by themselves. Every generation''s Sect Master would consume a large amount of Flame Rocks before his death.


    The reason for that was because almost all of the previous school heads had the cultivation of the Emperor Stage. Their bodies were as firm as rocks, and the firestone they consumed had a first-rate effect.


    That was, once touched, the flame stone would ignite and self-detonate. The power of the explosion was something that practically no one could withstand.


    Those were no exceptions.


    This was also the reason why all those sect masters had to raise these beauties by themselves.


    There was a record in the sect''s secret history that after the death of Saint Ling Xiao''s nine disciples, they had all swallowed a fire stone before being pushed into the valley by their disciples.


    Half a year, half a year later, the charm completely devoured the corpses of the nine people, leaving behind only eerie white bones.


    Countless bones were thrown above the canyon by those devils. However, half a day later, an earth-shattering explosion came from the canyon.


    Countless charms were destroyed and turned to dust.


    This way, the Cloudsoaring sect would be safe for the time being.


    After that, the disciples that violated the sect''s rules, and the elders that died, all died in this manner. Although the people did not know, the upper echelons all knew that these people were continuously making contributions to the current Ling Xiao Sacred Sect ¡­


    Ling Wuji also knew that it was the same thing that was waiting for him. He had personally come here to check the charms in this valley, and they weren''t as dense as they were now. But in just a few years, these charms had actually become so terrifying again?


    Ling Wuji was scared too.


    Actually, Ling Wuji also knew that if the Lingxiao Sacred Sect hadn''t chosen this place and caused the death of Saint Lingxiao, then the Lingxiao Sacred Sect might not be much worse than the Emerald Saint Valley.


    The rankings of the six Sacred Sects would not be like today ¡­


    But unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.


    Of course, in the past few thousand years, there hadn''t been a single person in the Lingxiao Sacred Sect who had reached the level mentioned in the third dying word left behind by the saint.


    He had completely erased the charm of the Demon Valley.


    But now, this Lin Tian had a sliver of hope ¡­


    However, at the same time, there was another problem troubling Ling Wuji.


    That was, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse that had devoured countless beauties would finally grow. What did it look like?


    Would he still be a threat to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect?


    All of this, Ling Wuji did not know, but he knew, this Lin Tian in front of him, would definitely give him a pleasant surprise ¡­


    Lin Tian was completely unaware of what Ling Wuji was thinking at the moment. He was already completely shocked by the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s transformation and the endless shadows.


    At this moment, he was no longer able to describe how he felt in his heart.


    However, the change was still unfolding. The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was now in a terrifying state of excitement.


    He seemed to have gone insane as he devoured the shadows one by one like a whale, turning them into his own power.


    The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse became more and more terrifying, the red light emitting from its body became stronger and stronger, from the previous light red, it had already turned crimson.


    It was the color of blood.


    Lin Tian felt that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s spirit was getting stronger and stronger, to the point where he could not control it at any time.


    The strand of spiritual will that he had hidden in the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had already become weaker and weaker in connection with Lin Tian himself.


    Ling Wuji had also noticed the situation. The worry in his heart was getting worse ¡­


    Not long after, Lin Tian suddenly felt the soul in his Divine Palace fiercely move.


    There seemed to be something attracting him.


    He was slightly startled, but immediately discovered the source of the throbbing. What Lin Tian had never imagined was that the throbbing originated from the Ancient Dragon Symbol ¡­


    Lin Tian was surprised. The Ancient Dragon Symbol had actually moved? What was going on? Could it be that there was something at the bottom of this gorge that was attracting the Ancient Dragon Symbol?


    As the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse continued to devour the figure, the number of shadows that had densely packed together at the bottom of the valley also lessened. In the end, one could clearly see the number of shadows ¡­


    At the same time, the throbbing sensation became even stronger.


    What was going on?


    Lin Tian suddenly felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    Ordinarily, there was simply nothing that could trigger such a reaction from the Archaic Dragon Symbol.


    At most, when a crisis was imminent, the Archaic Dragon Symbol would send out a warning. However, right now, this was no longer a warning. Instead, something was attracting the Archaic Dragon Symbol.


    Lin Tian was constantly pondering in his mind. It seemed like the last time Lin Tian had such a change in his memories, it should still be in the Heavenly Net Secret Realm ¡­


    After thinking for a long time, Lin Tian finally confirmed that was right. This time''s Ancient Dragon Rune''s transformation was almost exactly the same as the one in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm.


    And the last time, in the Tian Luo Secret Realm, Lin Tian had clearly remembered that time, the time he had obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    At that time, the Ancient Dragon Symbol had also emitted such a strange change.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s gaze immediately changed.


    He was shocked in his heart. "No, it can''t be that coincidental. Could it be that there is some dragon spirit rune left behind in this place?"


    Now without the Horned Demon, Lin Tian was unable to completely judge him.


    But at the same time, the Celestial Mouse on his right hand suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Brat, Ancestor, I felt it. I said that there was the aura of a treasure the moment I entered this damned place, and at that time I only felt a slight trace of that aura. But now, here, I can completely feel that aura.


    Lin Tian''s face immediately lit up ¡­

 C463 The charm of the valley

    "It, it is actually real ¡­" Only now did Lin Tian come back to his senses, but his heart still involuntarily began to beat faster and faster.


    That''s right. After obtaining the confirmation of the Heavenly Mouse, Lin Tian was almost certain that if there really was a treasure at the bottom of the canyon, it would definitely be that level of treasure.


    Last time, Lin Tian had obtained one of the Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon, the Coiling Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol from Sage Duo Bao in the Heavenly Luo Secret Realm, which was also known as the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol.


    Because of this, he trained in the Coiling Dragon Body Training Technique, which was why he had such a strong physical body.


    And last time, when he sensed the existence of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, Lin Tian also had a similar feeling. The Ancient Dragon Symbol constantly throbbed, as if it was reminding Lin Tian.


    Moreover, last time during his conversation with Horned Demon, Lin Tian had also known that the Ancestral Dragon''s Nine Sons had burned their own bodies to escape from the prehistoric domain. And it was also at that time that the Ancestral Dragon Nine''s Destiny Soul Symbol had appeared in the entire Sky Dragon Continent.


    The nine Ancestral Dragons were the Sun Moon Divine Dragon, the Time and Space Saint Dragon, the Nether Ghost Dragon, the Primal Chaos Dragon, the Dragon of Darkness, the Flying Rain-Dragon, the Lightning Dragon, the Earth Coiling Dragon, and the Plague Dragon.


    Among them, swallowing the sun and moon, the light was endless. What turned into the sun and moon on Sky Dragon Continent was the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon!


    The one who grasped time and space, the one who turned into nothingness, and the one who controlled the powers of space and time on the Sky Dragon Continent, was the spacetime holy dragon!


    Life and death in the cycle of reincarnation began with the Netherworld, and the one who grasped life and death in the cycle of reincarnation and ruled over the nine nether hells was the Netherworld Ghost Dragon!


    The Great Change of the Heavenly Dao was the source of chaos. It controlled the power of chaos between the heavens and the earth, and it was the spirit of all living things in the world that gave birth to the chaos spirit dragon!


    Power of Darkness, World of Decay, ruler of darkness, ruler of the void, the one who controls the endless power of darkness is the Dragon of Darkness!


    The king of the sky, with two wings, two wings, flying dragons in the sky, the king who controls all flying birds in the sky, is the Flying Rain-Dragon!


    Tempting rain, endless wind and thunder, able to create clouds and rain on the Sky Dragon Continent. The one controlling wind and thunder was the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon!


    The King of Earth had nine songs on his body, his physical strength was the strongest in the world, he controlled all beasts on the earth, and the one who became the King of Earth was the coiling dragon of the earth!


    Confinement Qi, poison breath, control disease, disaster, bring about trouble for the Sky Dragon Continent, the disaster is the plague dragon!


    These nine dragon sons, who had inherited the dragon''s endless divine abilities, also had different powers.


    Of course, in the eyes of the people, the Ancestral Dragon''s Nine Sons were the guardians of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    More importantly, each of these Nine Dragons had a talisman.


    The Sun Moon Divine Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Sun Moon Divine Symbol, the Time and Space Sacred Symbol was the Saint Dragon''s spirit talisman, the Nether Ghost Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Nether Ghost Talisman, the Chaos Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Chaos talisman, the Dark Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Darkness Talisman, the Flying Rain-Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Dragon''s spirit talisman, the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Thunder Flood Dragon''s spirit talisman, and the Earth Coiling Dragon''s spirit talisman was the Coiling Dragon spirit talisman.


    As for the Plague Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol, it was the Plague Symbol.


    These nine dragon talismans were the same as the ancient dragon talismans, each carrying different powers under the control of the Ancestral Dragon Nine Child.


    If one obtained these talismans, they would be able to control the corresponding strength of these talismans.


    For example, Lin Tian had obtained the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol, so he naturally controlled the power of the earth. However, right now, Lin Tian''s cultivation was still too weak and he was completely unable to control the power of the earth, but he had obtained another ability from the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol. It was the Coiling Dragon Body Refinement Technique.


    But right now, in the valley, there was a high chance that there was another dragon talisman hidden. How could this not make Lin Tian incomparably excited ¡­ ¡­


    It had to be known that no matter what talisman it was, it would be extremely helpful to Lin Tian.


    Moreover, before, after the Coiling Dragon Spirit Symbol was obtained by Lin Tian, Lin Tian discovered that even the power of the Immemorial Dragon Symbol had increased.


    This was too terrifying.


    Lin Tian didn''t even dare imagine how strong he would be if he were to obtain another dragon talisman.


    Lin Tian couldn''t hide the excitement in his heart. Even the trouble brought to Lin Tian by the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse just now had been reduced quite a bit.


    At this moment, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse continued to frantically devour the shadows ¡­


    The endless shadows continued to be devoured by the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse.


    But not long after, the entire Demon Valley suddenly shook, and terrifying rumbling sounds continuously rang out from underneath Lin Tian''s feet ¡­ ¡­


    "Hmm, what''s going on?" Lin Tian suddenly discovered this change and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.


    Powerful and terrifying power continuously came from that canyon. There was even a trace of aura that caused one''s heart to palpitate.


    A moment ago, he had been thinking about how to enter the gorge to investigate and see if he could find any clues, but unfortunately, the sudden change in the gorge didn''t allow Lin Tian the time to care about other things.


    He could faintly sense that something seemed to have come out from below ¡­


    "This is bad!" At this moment, Ling Wuji, who was outside, suddenly felt something was wrong.


    "Could it be ¡­ could it be that that thing came out?" Ling Wuji''s face turned extremely dark.


    However, at this moment, the entire Demon Valley suddenly trembled. An extremely frightening colossus drilled out from the valley.


    Lin Tian was the first to see the true face of this colossus.


    This colossus was exactly the same as the one known as the Augmented Number One.


    However, he couldn''t use a shadow to describe this terrifying thing.


    This was a huge black blob, and the thing in front of him was even more terrifying than the devil he had seen in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    The devil of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land wasn''t as large as this black blob in front of him, nor was it as terrifying.


    At this moment, the black blob was staring at Lin Tian and the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse beside him.


    "Is this the legendary Charm Ancestor?" Ling Wuji seemed to have stopped breathing as he stared at the thing in front of him.


    Previously, after the death of Saint Ling Xiao, the later generations had also recorded the story of the Aphrodite, and many sect heads had been constantly searching for the secrets of the Demon Abyss. It could be said that, in addition to being responsible for the specific affairs of the Holy Sect in Ling Xiao, all of the sect heads spent most of their time on the Demon Abyss.


    They really wanted to know where the charm of the Demon Valley came from, and whether there was any way to restrain it ¡­


    Later on, a sect master discovered this secret and guessed that at the bottom of the valley, there was a demon ancestor. That demon ancestor didn''t do anything else, but there was only one thing he needed to do, and that was to reproduce.


    That was also the reason why, even though one group and another were killed, they were still unable to kill that group.


    With Charm Ancestor here, how could he possibly kill all of them, unless he killed them?


    He always thought that this was just a speculation, but he didn''t expect that today, he would actually see Charm Ancestor ¡­


    Ling Wuji was unable to control himself and was about to attack, but then he found out that the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had attacked first.


    It turned out that the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had set its sights on him the moment Charm Ancestor appeared.


    Of course, Ling Wuji was not surprised that Charm Ancestor would come out. After all, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was too terrifying. Swallowing those charisma was a massacre, and he ate them all as nourishment.


    Mei Zu naturally could not just stand by and watch without doing anything.


    However, since the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse could devour a charm, then devouring a charm ancestor was a very normal thing.


    Lin Tian currently had the same thought as Ling Wuji. Moreover, he could feel the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s desire for this black mass from the tiny wisp of consciousness that was hidden within the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    He knew, if this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was able to swallow this black mass, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse would very likely break through its limits and once again evolve into an unbelievable state.


    Of course, that black blob would definitely not let the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse go ¡­


    Not only that, Lin Tian could even feel the Ancient Dragon Symbol throbbing. He knew that if there was still the Dragon Symbol, it would very likely be on this black blob''s body.


    "It''s up to you!" Lin Tian had dealt with those shadows before, so he knew that with his own methods, it was practically impossible to deal with this black blob.


    So, right now, they were all going to be handed over to the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    Lin Tian sent out a spiritual will and the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse immediately felt it.


    Not only that, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse even turned its head to look at Lin Tian. With its stiff face, it forced out a smile, causing people who looked at it to feel a chill run down their spines.


    However, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse only took a glance and that smile on its face made Lin Tian feel more at ease.


    Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and retreated dozens of miles. He knew that once this great battle began, if the distance between them was too close, it would unavoidably bring disaster upon them. So, it was better to retreat a bit further.


    In the next moment, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and the black blob stood together and began to confront each other. A great battle was about to happen!

 C464 Meizu vs earth fiend yin corpse!

    "Brat, this Earth Terminus Yin Corpse is yours right ¡­" Although Lin Tian had already left for a long distance, at this time, another sinister voice once again resounded in his ears.


    It sounded like the black blob was talking to him.


    "It''s you?" Lin Tian''s gaze swept over the black blob.


    "That''s right, it''s me." The black blob continued to laugh sinisterly: "Brat, you, this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, killed so many descendants of my Charm Clan. I would like to ask how you are going to settle this debt ¡­"


    "Charm Race?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he remembered the records he had seen before.


    Charm Race, a race formed by miasma. It has no soul, no body, likes human blood, human flesh ¡­


    He never thought that these strange figures in this place would be enchanting!


    Then this black ball in front of him must be the charm ancestor. Only the charm ancestor could produce this black ball in a steady stream.


    However, this Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was actually able to devour all of these charm, it was truly a terrifying matter.


    Just what kind of changes would happen to the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse? Just how much power would it possess?


    In the blink of an eye, he had already thought about it and said: "This Earth Fiend Yin Corpse is not fake, but it''s a pity, now even I am unable to control it. Since he killed so many of your descendants, if you want to settle the score, of course you have to find him, what does it have to do with me?"


    The meaning of Lin Tian''s words was to let the charm ancestor find the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse for revenge. Lin Tian naturally would not get involved in their battle. After all, his methods were completely useless against the charm ancestor.


    Good, since that is the case, I will first exterminate this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, and then I will find you to settle the score. Boy, you can stay here and wait for me, do not go anywhere, if not, I will very likely do something that I cannot control myself well, at that time, you will not be the only one to die ¡­ The Charm Ancestor coldly said to Lin Tian, his tone filled with ice-cold killing intent.


    "You should come and threaten me after you kill that Earth Terminus Yin Corpse ¡­" Lin Tian disdainfully snorted, not caring about the threat of the Charm Ancestor. If the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was that easy to deal with, then it would be letting Lin Tian down after such a long period of time ¡­ ¡­


    At the moment, Ling Wuji stopped the thought of attacking when he heard the conversation.


    He wanted to see who would win the battle between the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse and Charm Ancestor ¡­


    At the same time, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse no longer hesitated and charged toward Mei Zu.


    In the eyes of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, Charm Ancestor was the best food, and he couldn''t help but want to directly devour the Charm Ancestor. He knew that if he devoured the charm ancestor, his power would increase by at least a hundred times ¡­


    "Roar ¡­" In the next moment, a low roar came out from the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse. Then, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse suddenly pounced towards Mei Zu.


    "A mere corpse with a spirit awakening still wants to behave atrociously in front of me, Ancestor. Today, I''ll tear apart this corpse of yours and avenge my descendants!" Mei Zu let out a cold laugh. In the next moment, her body suddenly moved as she charged toward the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    "Bam!" The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and the Ancestral Demonic Sound Clan''s body clashed against one another in the next moment, but the rebounding force from the Ancestral Demonic Sound Clan''s body was actually able to repel the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse. The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was not a match for the Ancestral Demonic Sound Clan, and it was sent flying, falling onto the ground.


    "Come on, little one!" Mei Zu disdainfully roared at the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    But at this time, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had already stuffed pieces of black flesh into its mouth.


    Lin Tian stared blankly at it, then couldn''t help but mutter to himself: "That is?"


    But immediately, Lin Tian understood, what the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had just stuffed into his mouth was the flesh of the Charm Ancestor, it turned out that after the previous exchange, although the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was far from being a match for the Charm Ancestor, it had still directly cut off a piece of its flesh, making it look extremely terrifying.


    But as a result, Lin Tian was also a bit curious. Could it be that this Charm Ancestor still had a physical body?


    But why were the other beauties only shadows?


    As he thought about this, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse once again charged towards Charm Ancestor.


    The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse let out an angry roar and a large amount of energy gathered on its body. In the next moment, it charged at Mei Zu once more.


    This time, it was no surprise that the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was rebounded back by Charm Ancestor''s power. However, this time, he managed to forcefully cut off another piece of its flesh.


    At this moment, Mei Zu discovered this problem and rushed furiously at the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, "You want to devour the ancestor like this? The ancestor devoured you!"


    "Bam!" Another powerful attack, directly blew the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse''s body away, at the same time, huge tentacles grew out from the Charm Ancestor''s body, at this moment the tentacles were tightly holding onto the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse, with just a little bit of force from Charm Ancestor, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse will immediately be split into hundreds or even thousands of pieces ¡­


    The current Lin Tian no longer hesitated, even if he could no longer control the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, he would not be able to sit still and watch the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse being killed by the Charm Ancestor.


    Of course, there was another more important reason. Lin Tian had basically confirmed that this Charm Ancestor definitely had flesh and blood!


    He was not a shadow!


    This was the most important thing, because if he had flesh and blood, then Lin Tian could make his move!


    So, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly thrusted out with his Dragon Scale Spear. He also displayed the fifth move of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb and the strongest move currently grasped by Lin Tian ¡ª ¡ª Annihilation!


    A dragon roar came from the dragon''s scale lance as it charged toward Mei Zu like a crazed dragon.


    Originally, Charm Ancestor''s thousands of tentacles were on the verge of killing the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, but in the blink of an eye, they were cut off by the dragon scale spear.


    Charm Ancestor originally wanted to directly dismember the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse before devouring him, but unfortunately, he did not expect that in the end, Lin Tian''s spear would take him by surprise.


    After the tentacles were cut off, Mei Zu felt some pain and was no longer able to hold the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    How could the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse be willing to let go of such a good opportunity? Both of its hands formed a claw that once again grabbed at the body of Mei Zu.


    After some time, blood poured out and black coloured blood gushed out. Mei Zu''s body was actually once again ripped apart by the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, causing her to appear extremely terrifying.


    Without any hesitation, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse once again swallowed that piece of flesh.


    How could this be?


    After devouring the corpse''s flesh and blood, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s power suddenly increased once again. As a result, not only did the body not manage to kill the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, on the contrary, all of the flesh and blood on its body was completely devoured by the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    Just as the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and the Charm Ancestor were fighting, Lin Tian suddenly felt something move within his Divine Mansion, as if something was attracting him.


    At this moment, Lin Tian held his breath and examined it for a while. Only now did he realize that the thing that had moved just now was nothing else but the Ancient Dragon Runes within his soul.


    Without thinking too much, Lin Tian knew that it was definitely because of the movement of the Ancient Dragon Talisman.


    If he had known earlier, the Immemorial Dragon Talisman was the Ancestral Dragon''s spirit talisman. It was the foundation of all talismans.


    If the other dragon talismans appeared in front of or near the Ancestral Dragon''s Ancient Dragon Talisman, then the Ancient Dragon Talisman would have a different reaction.


    However, like this, Lin Tian suddenly felt that it was a bit strange ¡­.


    At this time, the Ancient Dragon Symbol released a strange movement. Could it be that the Dragon Symbol that was originally here was not too far away from Lin Tian?


    This was somewhat unbelievable.


    Just now, Lin Tian was only guessing if there was a Dragon Mark here, it was very possible that it was under the gorge. But now, it seemed that wasn''t the case.


    Could it be, could it be ¡­


    Lin Tian suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. Could it be that the dragon talisman was on this Charm Ancestor''s body?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Deng''s heart skipped a beat. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.


    The power of the miasma is the source power of this tribe, therefore, if it was miasma, the power of the charm would not be so powerful, at the very least, it would not be terrifying to this extent. As for this charm ancestor, his strength had already reached a terrifying degree, which completely exceeded Lin Tian''s imagination.


    But how was this possible?


    So, it''s very possible that this Charm Ancestor devoured a dragon talisman ¡­


    At this moment, a bold thought appeared in Lin Tian''s heart. This Charm Ancestor must have consumed some kind of dragon talisman''s power, and with the help of that power, he was able to rely on the miasma as a body to forcefully cultivate to this extent ¡­


    The more Lin Tian thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was the greatest.


    In this way, he would have to help this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    After all, if the Aphrodite had some kind of dragon talisman, Lin Tian was definitely going to get it.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer had any hesitation. He directly started to prepare to take action ¡­.

 C465 Third last word

    Lin Tian knew that if Charm Ancestor had the dragon talisman, then even if the source energy was miasma, it wouldn''t be a problem. After all, the dragon race was the number one race in the world, and the dragon race had all sorts of unimaginable superpowers.


    Even if it was Lin Tian, from the very beginning of his meridians, to the point where his dantian had been crippled, after obtaining the inheritance of the ancestral dragon''s blood essence, he had already grown to his current level. Lin Tian was also very clear in his heart that everything he had achieved, including his current achievements, was still far from reaching his limit.


    This was the terrifying aspect of having a dragon''s inheritance ¡­


    However, of course, what Lin Tian was most afraid of was that the Charm Ancestor did not have a dragon talisman. If it really did have a dragon talisman on its body, Lin Tian would be willing to see it.


    Then, the next thing he needed to do was to help the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse kill this Charm Ancestor and take out the dragon symbol from its body.


    After all, the Dragon Rune''s assistance to Lin Tian was just too great, Lin Tian absolutely could not give up, and right now, through the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and the Charm Ancestor''s battle, Lin Tian felt that the Charm Ancestor was not invincible.


    This was evident from the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s ability to continuously dig out and devour the body''s flesh and blood.


    Just as he was thinking this, Lin Tian Deng no longer hesitated and directly took action against Mei Zu.


    The Dragon Scale Spear combined with the technique of the Dragon''s Tomb was completely unleashed by Lin Tian. The spear crazily flew towards the Charm Ancestor ¡­


    The battle between Charm Ancestor and Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had already caused them to feel impatient. They did not expect that Lin Tian would be added to the mix.


    Mei Zu raised his head and let out a roar. In the next moment, a change occurred. His body suddenly grew a lot larger. The originally giant black mass became even larger.


    In the next moment, a monstrous energy was suddenly released from the black mass and it violently smashed towards the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    Charm Ancestor''s power was incomparably tyrannical. First, he sent the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse flying with a slap, then he made time to properly deal with Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian was also not afraid. If this Charm Ancestor was a shadow, Lin Tian more or less would not intervene. At the very least, he would think that this Charm Ancestor was very difficult to deal with.


    But if Charm Ancestor still had a body, blood and flesh, Lin Tian was not afraid at all.


    It shouldn''t be a difficult task to kill this Charm Ancestor ¡­


    With that in mind, Lin Tian used all of his methods. Facing the almost berserk and unreasonable attacks of the Charm Ancestor, Lin Tian was not afraid. Right now, he had already mastered the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Body to the fifth layer.


    Naturally, he would not be afraid of the attacks of this Charm Ancestor.


    The Charm Ancestor''s power seemed to be incomparably terrifying, but it still landed on Lin Tian''s body, causing Lin Tian no more harm than scratching his head ¡­ ¡­


    At this moment, Ling Wuji, who was standing not too far away, was looking at the scene in front of him. He was deep in thought, his face expressionless ¡­


    Actually, when Ling Wuji saw that Lin Tian had made his move, he had an impulse to directly help Lin Tian deal with that Charm Ancestor.


    However, at this moment, he couldn''t help but think of the third last words that the founder of the sect, Saint Ling Xiao, had left behind: If someone is able to eliminate the "Charm Chaos" within the sect, then he will become the candidate to be the next sect head ¡­


    So he really wanted to see if this Lin Tian could do it, and whether he could give him this surprise, and complete the last words left behind by Saint Ling Xiao. If he could do it, then he wouldn''t have to endure so bitterly ¡­


    No one knew that the sect head of this generation of the Holy Sect, Ling Xiao, was already dead.


    To say that the Sect Master was in seclusion was completely for the benefit of others.


    Before the sect head died, he wanted to pass the sect head position to Ling Wuji, but Ling Wuji refused without hesitation. How could he choose to take on such a difficult mission?


    Although the Lingxiao Sacred Sect appeared to be extremely wealthy, the truth was that they were suffering from internal and external troubles.


    Among the internal troubles was the calamity of charm, and the danger of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    However, the danger of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land had already been eliminated by Lin Tian. This was something that he did not need to worry about, but, after all, there was still an external threat ¡­ ¡­


    For the time being, not to mention the Blood Demon Sect that was showing signs of reviving, just the disputes between the six sects would be a huge problem.


    It had been a long time since the Changchun Palace had satisfied their position as the second most important member of the Changchun Palace.


    Although the Sword Saint Palace was number three, they still wanted to move forward.


    It was true that the Virtuous Heaven Sect was fourth, but there was still the Star Sea Sect and the Profound Heaven Saint Sect that were eyeing it covetously. They had no choice but to be on guard ¡­


    In fact, the upcoming battles of the six sects were actually due to the fact that five of the six Sacred Sects were currently unsatisfied with their current rankings ¡­


    If they knew that their Sect Master had passed away in meditation, they would have definitely stirred up again.


    These were all external problems.


    Ling Wuji knew that he didn''t have the courage to let Ling Wuji support the whole situation. After being the Prime Grandmaster for so many years, Ling Wuji was tired.


    He really wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of this burden. He had been trapped in the first level of the Emperor Stage for a very long time ¡­


    There was another reason as well. Actually, before this, there were very few unexpected situations like this. It had to be known that the sect head had already chosen the candidate to be the next sect head.


    However, because of Qi deviation, the current generation''s sect head died, so there was no time to decide on the next sect head''s candidate.


    Ling Wuji had only temporarily taken charge of the Cloudsoaring sect because he was ordered to do so in the face of danger.


    So, if Lin Tian was truly able to get rid of this Charm Ancestor, he, Ling Wuji, would have to thank the heavens.


    When the time came, with this reason, no one would dare object if they tried to cover everyone''s mouths.


    After all, these were the last words left behind by Saint Ling Xiao ¡­


    Thinking about that, Ling Wuji was not in a rush to make a move, but quietly watched Lin Tian make his move, and waited until Lin Tian was unable to win against the Charm Ancestor, then Ling Wuji would make his move.


    With this thought, Ling Wuji no longer hesitated, and focused on the battle between Lin Tian and the Charm Ancestor.


    Lin Tian''s attacks were extremely sharp and the key point was that Lin Tian''s footsteps were not bad. Many a times, he could completely dodge the attacks of the Charm Ancestor.


    Even if he couldn''t dodge once or twice, Lin Tian''s body could still resist the attacks of the Charm Ancestor.


    As for the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse, it was finally free.


    From time to time, they would suddenly attack and harass Mei Zu. As a result, the three of them ended up fighting in a draw ¡­

 C466 Plague poison symbol

    Not long after, the battle between Lin Tian and the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse made Mei Zu somewhat distracted.


    However, it could do nothing about the duo''s teamwork.


    One was in battle with him, fighting head on with him. The other took the opportunity to strike down with a death blow. A single swipe of his claw would have cut off half a chunk of flesh.


    With such cooperation, not even the ancestors could handle it ¡­


    But Lin Tian and the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse were getting more and more happy.


    Lin Tian was overjoyed. Sure enough, if what he said was as he expected, there seemed to be something attracting the Primordial Dragon Symbol from within his Divine Palace.


    This confirmed Lin Tian''s previous judgement. Lin Tian was naturally even more excited. The more he fought, the more excited he became.


    The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was excited because Lin Tian was helping it fight, while it was eating meat.


    This kind of good thing could not be better ¡­


    Mei Zu became more and more confused. Although these two flies couldn''t kill him, they could still make him feel disgusted ¡­


    As a result, Mei Zu no longer hesitated and was about to viciously attack.


    "Kill!" Charm Ancestor coldly snorted, at the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a poisonous barrier, that poisonous barrier released a terrifying green light, it was obvious that it was poisonous Qi, Lin Tian did not dare delay, he quickly retreated as he brandished his Dragon Scale Spear, releasing terrifying gales, wanting to completely isolate the poisonous Qi.


    However, on the surface of the dragon scale spear, there was more or less some poisonous energy. Since a terrifying event had occurred, the poisonous energy swiftly corroded the dragon scale spear. The enormous corrosive strength swiftly deprived the spirit of the dragon scale spear, causing it to become lifeless.


    Lin Tian was greatly shocked in his heart. This dragon scale spear had been with him for a long time, and the Celestial Mouse had forged ten thousand years of darksteel and earth, so it should be able to recreate the dragon scale spear, but logically speaking, the power of the dragon scale spear should be even stronger than before, not weaker. Moreover, Lin Tian could faintly feel that this dragon scale spear clearly had a strong intelligence, and it was very possible that it was about to become intelligent.


    As for the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse, the moment it felt the poisonous gas, it quickly retreated. Its body didn''t have any of the poisonous gas.


    At the same time, Charm Ancestor gave up on chasing after the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and instead turned towards Lin Tian.


    "Roar!" Lin Tian did not have the time to dodge as the Charm Ancestor once again pounced towards Lin Tian.


    It opened its mouth and sucked. Lin Tian was sucked into its stomach.


    "It''s over!" Lin Tian''s pupils abruptly widened, but if he wanted to dodge, he couldn''t. He could only watch as his succubi swallowed him into his stomach.


    "No!" Right at this time, Ling Wuji also suddenly rushed out, but unfortunately, he was a step too late. Lin Tian had already been sucked into the charm ancestor''s stomach ¡­


    Ling Wuji was angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch as Lin Tian was swallowed. Of course, he knew what the consequences would be if he were to be swallowed.


    Charm Ancestor''s digestion ability is extremely strong. It won''t be long before Lin Tian will become a puddle of thick water in Charm Ancestor''s body ¡­ ¡­


    "Kill!" Ling Wuji did not hesitate, he knew that if he was able to move the body of the Charm Ancestor, Lin Tian might not die, but if he dragged it on for too long, it would be hard to say ¡­


    However, before Ling Wuji could do anything, the Charm Ancestor had already spat out another mouthful of poison gas.


    Ling Wuji did not dare to face it head on. He could only retreat, but at this moment, one of Charm Ancestor''s tentacles suddenly extended and grabbed the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse behind Ling Wuji. In the next moment, the Charm Ancestor jumped down from the valley.


    I can''t see its shadow anymore ¡­


    "Lin Tian!" He did not expect that just now, a mistake in his thought would cause Lin Tian to lose his life. If he had known about this earlier, then no matter what, he would not have stood behind him and watched without taking action to save him ¡­


    If he had known earlier, he would have made his move just now to help Lin Tian kill this Charm Ancestor first.


    But now, it was too late to say anything. Lin Tian had already been swallowed into the stomach of Charm Ancestor. It was likely he wouldn''t be able to live for much longer ¡­


    However, he didn''t dare to go to the bottom of the canyon. He couldn''t gamble. If he died, the Cloudsoaring sect would fall into chaos ¡­


    A fishy stench and a bad smell. This was the first time Lin Tian had felt anything inside the Charm Ancestor''s stomach.


    Against Lin Tian''s expectations, Lin Tian originally thought that if he was swallowed by the Charm Ancestor, he would immediately die, but it was clear that he was wrong. Although the Charm Ancestor swallowed him, he was completely fine.


    Even after entering the body of the Succubus, it was like entering a giant cave. However, there was a large amount of miasma and poison gas inside the body of the Succubus Ancestor, and its organs were emitting waves of stench. It was extremely unpleasant.


    Lin Tian covered his nose and mouth, and started to carefully size up the Charm Ancestor''s stomach.


    Charm Ancestor''s stomach was incomparably huge, and he couldn''t even see the end of it. But even so, Lin Tian could still feel the power of the Immemorial Dragon Symbol drawing closer and closer to his Divine Palace.


    He didn''t know if this was a blessing or a curse ¡­


    Lin Tian sighed, carefully avoiding the poison mist. Just now he had heard Ling Wuji''s voice, but actually, Lin Tian had more or less noticed that Ling Wuji was looking at him from behind.


    So, Lin Tian didn''t use his real method just now ¡­ ¡­


    After all, using methods that belonged to the dragon race was better off not being used in front of outsiders. However, if they were sucked into the stomach of the Charm Ancestor, they might be able to give it a try.


    After all, he still had another powerful move that he had yet to use ¡­


    But just as Lin Tian was about to use his final technique, he felt the world flip over. It was as if Charm Ancestor was constantly spinning his body.


    In the next moment, he felt the source of the power. It was very likely that the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was fighting this Charm Ancestor ¡­


    Lin Tian guessed right, because not long after, another thing came out from the mouth of the Ancestral Demon. It wasn''t anything else, it was the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse ¡­


    That''s right, that Charm Ancestor had also swallowed the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse ¡­


    The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse looked at Lin Tian, its face seemed to struggle, as if it didn''t know how to face Lin Tian.


    However, he was immediately attracted by the body of the Charm Ancestor, and in the stomach of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, it started to chew on the body of the Charm Ancestor.


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian looked at it for a while and forcefully endured the urge to vomit, but he did not continue to look and hurriedly began to search for the source of the Ancient Dragon Symbol''s throbbing.


    At this time, Lin Tian took out the Immemorial Dragon Talisman from his soul. The Immemorial Dragon Talisman already had the Coiling Dragon talisman.


    Therefore, the moment the two dragon talismans appeared, Mei Zu''s stomach was completely illuminated by Lin Tian ¡­


    At the same time, the moment the two dragon talismans appeared, Mei Zu''s stomach began to churn violently ¡­


    Not long after, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that the poisonous gas in the surroundings, after meeting the two dragon talismans, had actually quickly gathered over like swimming fish. One after another, the poisonous gas started to circle around the two dragon talismans.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyes flashed a trace of doubt. He could actually attract poison gas?


    Could it be, this Dragon Symbol, could it be ¡­ Plague Talisman?


    Lin Tian immediately had an answer in his heart. Moreover, from the looks of it, this answer was the closest.


    This charm ancestor was formed by the poison aura, and the poison barrier was the origin of the charm ancestor.


    The Plague Talisman came from the Plague Dragon.


    The Pestilence Poisonous Dragon was the only one trapped in this world.


    The so-called disaster was the meaning that brought about this disaster.


    The nine Ancestor Dragon sons and the other eight sons were all dragons of justice. The dragons of light controlled various types of forces of heaven and earth, and were the guardian dragons of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    Even if it was a Netherworld Ghost Dragon that controlled life and death, its destructive power was a source of power that controlled reincarnation. It was a balance between the Heavenly Dao Laws, so it was also a dragon of justice.


    However, only this Plague Dragon would not bring light to anyone else on the Sky Dragon Continent. The power it wielded was disaster, disease and poison ¡­


    Of course, this was also a type of balance within the Heavenly Dao Laws. For a human to live, age, or illness, this was in itself a type of cycle of the Heavenly Dao.


    However, she never would have thought that the dragon talisman in the body of the Charm Ancestor was actually the spirit talisman of the Plague Dragon ¡­


    Lin Tian was somewhat disappointed.


    The Plague Dragon was the most powerful poison, but Lin Tian himself wasn''t good at using this kind of power ¡­


    But after a moment of hesitation, Lin Tian dispelled the thought in his heart. Even if it was the Plague Dragon''s Destiny Soul Symbol, it didn''t matter. At least it was better than nothing ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and directly activated the power of the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    Immemorial Dragon Talisman was the origin of all talismans. As for the other dragon talismans, they had all returned to their positions!


    A gentle light began to emit from the Ancient Dragon Tally, illuminating every corner of the grandfather''s stomach.


    The next moment, something strange happened.


    Suddenly, a giant ray of light started to surge out from the stomach of Charm Ancestor.


    The light was endless and at this moment, as the light gushed over, waves of green poisonous gas swiftly surged towards the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Tian''s heart revealed a trace of joy.


    That''s right, if this poisonous gas were to rush over, it was likely that the plague talisman would be coming out soon ¡­


    However, at this moment, Mei Zu suddenly felt a sharp pain, especially in his abdomen. He immediately knew what had happened and shouted miserably, "You little bastard, you''re here for my dragon symbol!"


    "Huh?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised: "I really did not expect that you, a bastard, would actually know about the existence of the dragon talisman ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian did not expect Mei Zu to know that he had the Plague Talisman in his body ¡­


    "I''ll kill you!" "Scram!" Charm Ancestor let out a mad cry and his body continued to roll. At this moment, in his stomach, a thick pus suddenly rushed toward Lin Tian and the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse ¡­


    Lin Tian dodged to the side and frowned. Then, he scolded the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse: "Why do you keep eating its meat? When can you not eat its meat?"


    "Go eat his stomach!" Lin Tian Deng ordered.


    Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s face froze, revealing a difficult choice, but in the end, it still listened to Lin Tian and hurried over to devour the Charm Ancestor''s stomach.


    That pus did not affect the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse much. Although it had a strong corrosive ability, it was still forcefully taken away by the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse in the end.


    With just a few bites, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had already swallowed the stomach.


    Only now did Lin Tian feel at ease and began to fully activate the Ancient Dragon Talisman.


    In front of the Ancient Dragon Symbol, the amount of poisonous gas gathering was also increasing.


    In the end, from an unknown location in the Ancestral Sable, another green symbol suddenly appeared.


    On the surface of that green rune, there was a dark green dragon tattoo.


    The dragon tattoo was breathing heavily. It was none other than the Dragon Mark of the Poisonous Plague Dragon.


    The instant the Plague Dragon''s talisman saw the Ancient Dragon''s talisman, it immediately became happy. It circled around the Ancient Dragon''s talisman, and then entered the Ancient Dragon''s talisman ¡­


    When Lin Tian saw this scene, he let out a long breath. Then with a smile on his face, he said: "Poison Talisman of the Plague, welcome home!"


    At the same time, after the Ancient Dragon Talisman absorbed the Plague Talisman, it also excitedly jumped up and spun around Lin Tian non-stop.


    Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the Archaic Dragon Talisman began to emit light.


    Rays of dragon markings began to appear on the surface of the ancient dragon rune.


    That was the Dragon Mark of the Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons.


    However, the dragon prints that belonged to the Coiling Dragon of the Earth and the Poisonous Dragon of the Plague were now emitting a faint glow.


    The Nine Winding Coiling Dragon Marks were golden in color, and the Poisonous Dragon Mark of the Plague was green.


    In addition, there were seven other Dragon Marks.


    The seven Dragon Marks were still dim and did not give off any light ¡­


    It seemed like he still had a long way to go in his future missions. Lin Tian had only managed to collect two of the nine dragon talismans.


    However, at this time, an enormous light was suddenly emitted from the Ancient Dragon Symbol.


    In the next moment, the archaic dragon rune turned into a dragon soul. After that, the Coiling Dragon spirit rune and the Pestilence poison rune also turned into dragon souls.


    In an instant, the three dragon souls brought Lin Tian through the body of the Charm Ancestor.


    Charm Ancestor let out a pitiful cry, he was already dead.


    The corpse heavily fell into the ravine and Lin Tian stopped falling while being wrapped by the dragon soul. At the same time, beside Lin Tian, there was also the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse ¡­

 C467 Skeleton race

    The moment he left the body, Lin Tian brought the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to his side.


    It avoided the fate of the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse falling off the cliff.


    However, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse did not thank Lin Tian because of this. Instead, it looked at Lin Tian with some reluctance.


    Lin Tian immediately understood what the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was thinking. That was right, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse was trying to devour the body of the Charm Ancestor ¡­


    After understanding this level, Lin Tian didn''t think too much and directly brought the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse and drove the three dragon souls directly down the canyon.


    Beneath the gorge, as Lin Tian expected, was an ancient battlefield.


    It was not unexpected for the Ancient Battlefield to possess such a poison barrier. After all, the reason why Meizu was so powerful and her ability to reproduce was so strong. With an Ancient Battlefield like this, everything could be explained ¡­


    After reaching the bottom of the valley, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse didn''t hesitate. The moment it reached the bottom of the valley, it fiercely devoured the body and swallowed it into its own stomach.


    With this, Lin Tian was also shocked to discover that the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had started to have a huge change ¡­


    The Earth Terminus Yin Corpse''s body was a light red color and its body was emitting a faint red glow. However, at this moment, after devouring the charm ancestor, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had some other changes.


    At this moment, his entire body was constantly emitting red rays of light. As he digested the power of the Meizu corpse, his body turned from a faint red colour to a deep red, and finally to a crimson red like fresh blood.


    At this moment, under Lin Tian''s gaze, a huge amount of energy was gathering on the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s body.


    Gradually, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s body turned from red to gold.


    Lin Tian blankly looked at the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s change, his heart was filled with incredulity ¡­


    Actually, because of the Great Puppet Technique, Lin Tian only had the first volume, he did not have the second volume, so he did not know the reason behind the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s change ¡­


    However, the only thing he could be sure of was that the corpse was extremely useful to the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    It was his corpse that caused this change in the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    Not long after, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse turned into a golden corpse, its entire body was emitting a strong golden light, it looked like a deity Buddha descending, even everything around was bathed in that golden light ¡­


    "Holy shit, kid, you''re going to be rich!" Just at this time, above Lin Tian''s right hand, the Celestial Mouse''s surprised cry suddenly rang out.


    "What, do you know how this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse changed?" He could hear the astonishment of the Celestial Mouse from its tone. In that case, could it be that the Celestial Rat knew why the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had changed so much?


    "This Earth Fiend Yin Corpse, has changed from Earth Fiend to Sky Fiend!" The Celestial Mouse bitterly said. His tone contained a hint of fear.


    "Sky Demon?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with disbelief. He did not know anything about it, so he did not know what the Celestial Mouse meant ¡­.


    "That''s right, the Heavenly Demon!" The Celestial Mouse said affirmatively, "In ancient times, I heard some rumors regarding this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse ¡­"


    The Celestial Mouse fell into deep thought. "Moreover, in the ancient times, only the voodoo Gu race ¡­"


    "Magus Gu?" Lin Tian had heard of this kind of race before, where the Voodoo Gu specially raised certain terrifying insects. Previously, in Tian Luo Country, there were already people from Blood Demon Sect who were proficient in the art of the Voodoo Gu, who were able to refine a secret technique that could swallow a human''s brain and control a human''s mind ¡­


    "The voodoo Gu of ancient times live in the dark forest all year round. They are proficient in poison arts, insect arts, and corpse controlling arts ¡­" The Celestial Mouse spoke slowly. It had an incomparably long lifespan, moreover, it was a mutant from the prehistoric era. It was not surprising that it knew of these secrets.


    "Actually, the voodoo Gu is just a generic name, but before this, the interior of the voodoo Gu was very clearly divided. For example, the ones controlling the bugs are known as the Sky Worm Tribe, the ones controlling the poison are known as the Sky Poison Clan, and the ones controlling the corpses are naturally the Sky Corpse Clan ¡­" The Celestial Mouse explained, and then suddenly asked, "Oh right, where did you get this kind of rearing technique?"


    Lin Tian told the Heavenly Mouse everything that Xiao Kuangge had told him about the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    At this time, Lin Tian also had a plan in his heart. If he wasn''t wrong, the Great Puppet Technique he obtained from Xiao Kuangge probably came from the Sky Corpse clan.


    "En, it should be left behind by the Sky Corpse clan. The Sky Corpse clan is also divided into two factions, one is the living corpse, the other is the pure dead corpse ¡­" The Tong Tian Mouse continued, "The living corpse must be easy to understand, it is to refine a living human into a corpse, because this clan often hunts down humans, they are disgraced, and even almost got beaten up. So, normally, if the Sky Corpse clan can pass down the secret technique, then only the dead body line ¡­"


    "The Sky Corpses use a special technique to control the corpses, and can even refine them into puppets for their masters to control. Of course, there will also be people who will find the corpse puppets and refine their avatars ¡­"


    "Body incarnation?" When Lin Tian heard this, his heart skipped a beat.


    "Yes, in general, the Sky Corpse Clan''s combat power is not very strong, but the corpses they manipulated with secret techniques have all kinds of magical powers. Among them, the corpse that the Sky Corpse Clan prides is the ''Demon'' power."


    "Kill?"


    "Yes, it''s'' Sha ''. The Sky Corpse clan divides corpses into several types, ordinary corpses, zombies, spirit corpses, Fiend Corpses, and even the legendary Astral Corpses!"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was completely confused hearing this. Actually, the most important thing was that he did not know anything about it. It was truly difficult for him to understand what the Celestial Mouse was talking about ¡­


    "Is it hard to understand?" The Celestial Mouse had a look of despise, but he still explained: "The so-called normal corpses, are just normal corpses, no difference. The zombies, they have a strong attack power, they are the umbrella of the Sky Corpse Clan, and they also raise a strong army ¡­ As for a Spirit Corpse, it is a corpse that has opened the Spirit Intelligence. For example, the corpse right now is a Spirit Corpse. Of course, the stronger one is the Fiend Corpse, and it is the Earth Fiend Corpse ¡­ "


    "The Sky Corpse clan, because of their unique characteristics, coupled with the fact that they often hunt humans, the Sky Corpse clan, in the Sky Dragon Continent, can be said to be a race that everyone can kill. Therefore, in order to protect their territory, they have no choice but to refine corpses to protect their territory, whether it be zombies or spirit corpses, in fact, they are all within the Sky Corpse Clan''s capabilities. Only the Evil Corpses are needed, they need both Heaven and Earth, these three are indispensable ¡­"


    "The so-called ''time'' means to adapt to the power of the heavens. The ''land'' is the place where the corpse is reared. Humans need the spirit of the corpse itself, or their talent is extremely high ¡­" The Celestial Mouse slowly explained, actually being very clear about this matter.


    "So, refining a Yin Corpse is very difficult, the entire Sky Corpse clan refining one or two Yin Corpses is already very good, and of course they don''t have much spiritual energy, they can refine a Divine Corpse ¡­"


    "What is a Astral Corpse?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    "Kid, there is a rumor in the Sky Corpse Clan. The corpse of the Heavenly Dipper is comparable to a human Saint. Do you believe it?" Skypiercing Mouse suddenly said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "How is this possible!" Lin Tian Deng shouted out. To be honest, he really didn''t believe it ¡­


    Saints could do anything, and were basically the top experts of the entire Sky Dragon Continent. After all, the records of the God Realm masters that were recorded in the Sky Continent could be counted on one hand, and those that became God Realm masters were destined to be recorded in the history books.


    Sage realm was known as the Great Sage of ancient times in ancient times. Such experts were already the pillars of ancient times, the pillars of humanity.


    How could a corpse refined by the Heavenly Corpse clan be comparable to a human Great Saint? This was simply overturning Lin Tian''s knowledge ¡­

 C468 Sky fiend yin corpse

    "Ancestor, I know that you do not believe ¡­" The Celestial Mouse smiled and added, "Actually, I don''t believe it either ¡­"


    "Then where are you speaking?" Lin Tian unhappily glared at the Celestial Mouse.


    "Kid, you have to know, believing in something is one thing, but whether it''s the truth is another ¡­" The Celestial Rat sighed softly as he spoke.


    "What do you mean? Explain it clearly ¡­" Lin Tian also became a bit impatient with these roundabout words from the Celestial Mouse.


    "Although I don''t want to believe it, it''s true ¡­" The Celestial Mouse affirmed.


    Of course Lin Tian knew, what did this mean. In other words, the Sky Corpses'' corpse was comparable to a human Saint level expert ¡­ ¡­


    Isn''t this a little too inconceivable ¡­


    "However, no one was able to refine the Astral Corpse ¡­" The Celestial Rat said again.


    Lin Tian was even more confused. Since he could not refine it, how could he know how strong the astral corpse was?


    "Just by looking at the scariness of the Evil Corpse, I know ¡­" As if it could see through Lin Tian''s thoughts, the Celestial Mouse unhesitatingly spoke again.


    "Brat, you need to know that a baleful corpse can be refined by someone ¡­" The Celestial Mouse warned, "Furthermore, the Astral Corpses were not refined, but rather evolved from the Fiend Corpses ¡­"


    "The Fiend Corpses are divided into the Human Fiend, Earth Fiend, Sky Fiend ¡­" The Celestial Mouse spoke as if it was speaking of his family, speaking of the grade of that Fiend Corpse.


    "The reason why I dare to say that the Astral Corpse is comparable to a human Saint, it''s completely because of the Fiend Corpse''s strength ¡­" The Celestial Mouse continued, "The powerful Sky Demon Corpse already possesses a cultivation level not inferior to an expert of the Human Emperor Realm. Its strength, body, and even intelligence are all on par with an expert of the Human Emperor Realm ¡­"


    "Sky Demon Corpse?" Lin Tian''s heart moved and then he said: "Isn''t this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse the Heavenly Demon Corpse?"


    Just now, Lin Tian had heard from the Celestial Mouse that this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had already reached the Heavenly Fiend Yin Corpse level.


    "That''s right. This corpse is already comparable to a Human Emperor Realm martial cultivator ¡­" The heavenly mouse nodded as it replied.


    "That''s why I wanted to ask you where did you get this corpse ¡­" The Celestial Mouse continued to speak: "Actually, to be honest, you have really gotten lucky. No, it should be that the one called Xiao Kuangge got lucky and obtained the method to raise the corpse. Furthermore, he took up all the time and resources in the world and only used a thousand years to refine the Earth Fiend Corpse ¡­"


    "Even if it''s the Sky Corpse clan, refining this Earth Fiend corpse is an extremely difficult task ¡­" Skypiercing Mouse also couldn''t help but sigh. When refining a corpse, the first thing one had to do was to look at the talent and talent of the corpse before it died. For example, an aged old man''s corpse was clearly not suitable for refining.


    When this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse was alive, it must have been a terrifying existence, which was why it was able to jump out of the human aura range in one fell swoop, and reach the Earth Fiend state.


    Lin Tian secretly rejoiced, according to what the Tong Tian Mouse said, he was really lucky, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse in front of him, no, right now it should be called the Sky Fiend Yin Corpse, if it continued to grow later on, when it reached the Astral Corpse realm, wouldn''t that mean that he, Lin Tian, would have a Saint realm expert as a helper?


    How terrifying must that be!


    However, Lin Tian was not that optimistic. The Earth Fiend Yin Corpse''s change, in the end, was due to the help of the Demon Dweller from the Demon Dweller Valley ¡­


    However, this was an ancient battlefield, and the miasma was dense, which was why it was able to give birth to a powerful force like Charm. Furthermore, the key point was that the Charm Ancestor had used the Plague Talisman to help her with her power.


    This kind of opportunity could only be found by chance and not sought. After this, even if Lin Tian was able to find another Ancient Battlefield, even if charm could grow there, it would definitely not be able to become the charm of today.


    In other words, this time, the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse had such a great lucky chance, but it could only have this one opportunity. From now on, there would be no more opportunities like this.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian also calmed down. His treasures and methods were not something that could completely leave this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse.


    This Earth Terminus Yin Corpse, if it could help him, it would be for the best. However, if it could not help him too much, there was no harm in it. After all, he did not really expect the Earth Terminus Yin Corpse to ¡­


    Moreover, the Earth Fiend Yin Corpse had only reached the Heavenly Demon Realm, there was still a long way to go before it reached the Astral Corpse, the Astral Corpse was also divided into three levels, the Human, Earth and Heavenly Dipper Realm ¡­


    "I wonder how long it will take for this Earth Fiend Yin Corpse to reach the Human Realm ¡­" Lin Tian shook his head and then temporarily put this thought aside.


    However, there was another problem that Lin Tian was facing right now, and that was the Heavenly Baleful Yin Corpse, how should he control it?


    Lin Tian naturally knew that the Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse had already opened its spirit. Now that it had reached the Heavenly Demon Realm, he did not know to what extent its intelligence would increase ¡­ ¡­


    If that was the case, could he still control the Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse?


    That was also a problem ¡­


    While he was thinking this, the Sky Fiend Yin Corpse had already completely withdrawn the golden light surrounding its body and rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment and his body immediately became alert.


    But contrary to Lin Tian''s expectations, the Sky Fiend Yin Corpse actually twisted its own stiff lips and smiled towards Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­


    Lin Tian was shocked, he almost thought that after the Yin Corpse finished evolving, it would directly attack him. To be honest, if the Yin Corpse really did attack Lin Tian, Lin Tian really didn''t know what to do ¡­ ¡­


    However, in the next moment, the Celestial Mouse once again spoke, "Kid, why don''t you try imprinting a trace of your Plague Rune into your hands and suppress this Yin Corpse ¡­"


    "The power of the Sky Terminus Yin Corpse is in fact yin poison. The Plague Talisman is the origin of all poisons. Using it to restrain it is naturally the most suitable ¡­" The Heavenly Mouse once again gave Lin Tian a move.


    When Lin Tian heard this, his heart immediately moved. The Celestial Mouse made sense. He had just obtained the plague talisman, so it was the perfect time to use it!


    Almost without thinking too much, Lin Tian summoned the plague talisman and used his own Spirit power to start imprinting the patterns on the plague talisman.


    A Dragon Mark formed from Mental Energy quickly appeared.


    In the next moment, waiting for Lin Tian to place the dragon tattoo on his eye, the dragon tattoo immediately became lively. In the end, it completely charged out of Lin Tian''s body, slightly moving, and then completely entered the Sky Fiend Corpse''s forehead to hide.


    The Sky Demon Yin Corpse''s consciousness was completely suppressed by the plague talisman. The Sky Demon Yin Corpse revealed a struggling expression, but soon after, it was completely controlled and closed its eyes.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly kept the Sky Demon Yin Corpse in his Dragon Symbol Space. Afterwards, he left this place ¡­

 C469 It fell to its death i swear it!

    Lin Tian did not hesitate and summoned the dragon soul again. Currently, his body was in the valley and if he wanted to walk out, he would still need to rely on the power of the dragon soul ¡­.


    But Lin Tian was prepared in advance. Just as he was about to rush out of the gorge, Lin Tian fiercely withdrew his Dragon Soul and stabbed the Dragon Scale Spear into the cliff. Borrowing this power, he walked out of the gorge ¡­


    The Dragon Scale Spear had originally been corroded by the poisonous qi spat out by Charm Ancestor, but after Lin Tian obtained the Plague Rune, he first wanted to completely remove the poisonous gas from the Dragon Scale Spear ¡­.


    At this time, Lin Tian, who had returned to the top of the Demon Valley, unexpectedly discovered that Ling Wuji was still waiting for him, as if he was waiting for Lin Tian''s return.


    Lin Tian secretly thought how close he was to death. Previously, when the Charm Ancestor swallowed him down, Lin Tian felt that someone was calling him. Moreover, that sound was very similar to Ling Wuji''s voice.


    And at this time, when Lin Tian arrived in front of Ling Wuji, Ling Wuji shouted in disbelief: "You, you''re not dead?"


    Ling Wuji''s face was filled with shock. He never thought that Lin Tian would be able to walk out alive after being devoured by the Charm Ancestor. Furthermore, he was even able to walk out from the ravine alive ¡­


    At this moment, another question appeared in Ling Wuji''s mind. Since Lin Tian was still alive, then what about that Charm Ancestor?


    Is that Charm Ancestor dead? If he were to die, could it be that Lin Tian had killed Mei Zu?


    However, he also knew that he couldn''t ask all of the questions at once right now. He should first listen to what the brat had to say ¡­


    Lin Tian also did not think that Ling Wuji would actually still be waiting for him at the top of the canyon. Logically speaking, if he knew that he was being swallowed by the Charm Ancestor, he wouldn''t be waiting here, right?


    However, he had already thought of a plan, so he did not panic. He said to Ling Wuji gently, "Master, tell me, you might not believe that Mei Zu fell to her death ¡­"


    When Lin Tian said these words, his face wasn''t red at all, even speaking in a serious tone, making him almost think that what he said was true ¡­


    "What?" Ling Wuji stared at Lin Tian as if he had seen a ghost: "Say that again ¡­"


    "Master, I knew that you wouldn''t believe it, but that Charm Ancestor really fell to his death ¡­" Lin Tian silently looked at Ling Wuji, who was about to go berserk, and spoke again.


    "That ancestor swallowed me up, then swallowed my puppet. But after that, it jumped off the cliff, probably due to me and that puppet being too heavy. It didn''t control its strength well, and then, it fell to its death ¡­" Lin Tian had a face full of confidence.


    Forget it. Lin Tian then repeated: "It really fell to its death. Master, you have to believe me. I swear it!"


    "And then?"


    "After that, my puppet devoured the body of Charm Ancestor. As you know, my puppet prefers the body of Charm Ancestor ¡­" Lin Tian replied once again.


    "Oh, I fell to my death, and my corpse was eaten ¡­" Ling Wuji didn''t show any emotion on his face, but his heart was full of anger.


    He even fell to his death? What the hell do you think that is?


    Ordinary humans, inner court disciples, outer court disciples?


    Or some small animal?


    That was a f * cking Charm Ancestor!


    Even I don''t dare to face the Patriarch of the Charm Clans.


    You f * cking said it fell to its death?


    Big brother, you should find a good reason. Do you know that the bottom of the valley is actually the nest of the Aphrodite? It jumped off the cliff because it wanted to go home!


    You actually said that it died on the way home, moreover it fell to its death, do you think I''m stupid!


    Ling Wuji did not make a sound, Lin Tian naturally did not find any work for him to do, and naturally did not say anything, he did not admit, and Ling Wuji did not see anything, he could say anything he wanted ¡­


    At this moment, Ling Wuji''s face was filled with disbelief, but he did not see anything. On the cliff just now, he could not see anything below him, so even if he knew that Lin Tian was lying, there was no way to confirm it ¡­


    But since Lin Tian was still alive, that proved that Charm Ancestor was truly dead. Moreover, it was very possible that he was killed by this brat.


    This meant that Ling Wuji did not know about his secret ¡­


    However, Lin Tian also felt a little sorry in his heart. It had to be known that in the large Lingxiao Sacred Sect, there were only two forbidden areas.


    One of them was the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, the other was the Demon Valley. But he never would have thought that in these two forbidden areas, Lin Tian would have entered by mistake and come back alive.


    However, there were also great opportunities within these two forbidden grounds.


    But this sort of opportunity seemed to have been customized for Lin Tian.


    Even if others entered these two forbidden grounds, they would only be looking to die. But not only did Lin Tian not die in those two forbidden grounds, he even obtained endless benefits from them.


    Just the thought of it was inconceivable.


    Lin Tian himself did not believe it, but unfortunately, these two forbidden grounds were both related to Lin Tian''s secret, and this level of secret was something that could not be revealed right now.


    Ling Wuji calmed down for a while before calming himself down. However, it didn''t matter how the Charm Ancestor died. After all, the Charm Ancestor died and Lin Tian was still alive. This was Ling Wuji''s greatest consolation.


    No matter what secret Lin Tian had, he was still his master, and this disciple was unwilling to say, as his master, naturally he could not be coerced. Thinking about this, Ling Wuji did not think too much, and instead warned Lin Tian, do not tell anyone about this place, and then let Lin Tian leave, just like that ¡­


    Lin Tian also understood Ling Wuji''s thoughts. He reckoned that he wanted to personally go to the valley to see if what Lin Tian said was true or not ¡­


    Lin Tian did not continue to disturb him. He directly left the Demon Valley and completely left the area.


    Now that the Demon Region Valley no longer existed, there was no longer any need for them to stay here. From now on, this place would become the tomb of the true Holy Sect in the Soaring Cloud Continent ¡­

 C470 Seclusion again!

    After leaving the Demon Valley, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly rushed towards his own cave.


    It had been several months since he had returned to his cave mansion. First, he had hunted demon beasts in the Valley of Hundred Beasts, and then he had honed the hand of the Sky Shifting Hand. After that, he entered the Demon Abyss.


    However, after this experience, Lin Tian had completely mastered the formidable move of the Sky Shifting Hand. Moreover, his greatest gain was the Plague Talisman that he obtained from the body of the Charm Ancestor.


    Not only that, his Earth Terminus Yin Corpse also absorbed energy and successfully evolved into the Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse. As a result, the Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse would be of greater help to him.


    This caused Lin Tian to feel some anticipation in his heart ¡­


    And it was precisely because of this trip''s harvest that made Lin Tian realize that it was also time for him to calm his heart and properly cultivate.


    Furthermore, there wasn''t much time left for the six sects'' battle.


    The Six Sects'' Arena was at the end of the year, and it had been at most three months.


    Ling Wuji had made it clear that the reason he accepted Lin Tian as his disciple was to let Lin Tian participate in the Six Sects'' competition!


    Moreover, Lin Tian would definitely participate in the Six Sects'' competition. Not only that, he would also strive to obtain first place, because the outcome of the Six Sects'' battle would affect the number one spot in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    When Lin Tian returned to his own cave dwelling, he discovered that in front of the cave dwelling, there were countless arrows. On the arrows, there were even slips of paper. Clearly, someone had left a message for Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian randomly picked one and skimmed through it, understanding the general contents of the message. Basically, the content was to congratulate Lin Tian on becoming Great Elder Ling Wuji''s disciple. If there was time, Lin Tian, please come and have a chat ¡­.


    Only then did he discover that there were a total of three types of messages. The first type was completely the same as the previous ones, and the owners of these messages were all direct disciples of the other Peak Masters to congratulate Lin Tian Yun. Of course, the main purpose of these people was naturally to have the desire to befriend each other.


    The second category was Ling Wuji''s other disciples. Ling Wuji was not only Lin Tian''s disciple, but after Lin Tian, he would not take in any other disciples, because Ling Wuji had already declared Lin Tian to be Ling Tian''s last disciple in front of all the disciples in the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect ¡­


    Of course, Lin Tian''s seniors also left a message, saying that when Lin Tian returned, they would go see the other seniors.


    The third type was the letters of challenge left behind by disciples who were dissatisfied with Lin Tian, the number of these messages were not few, among them was a person called Yang Bufan, the most typical one was the letter of challenge. It was very clear that the letter said: "I heard that Junior Lin had unparalleled physical strength, with a single palm strike able to destroy the core disciple Liu Feng, I have no strength, only after cultivating for a few decades, I believe that his physical strength is strong, so I find it hard to endure, and want to compete with Junior Lin.


    This kind of message, or in other words, a challenge letter, was quite numerous ¡­


    Actually, it was all caused by Lin Tian''s initial sentence.


    The second day that Lin Tian became a direct disciple, he spread the word that those who did not accept it would come to challenge Lin Tian until they submitted ¡­ ¡­


    Thus, at that time, countless disciples came forth to challenge them. Unfortunately, at that time, almost all of the direct disciples were outside, and not a single person was within the Holy Sect.


    In the end, those outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and core disciples were all beaten up by Lin Tian and sent back home ¡­


    At that time, Lin Tian said a second sentence:" Yes, yes, yes, I can go find your senior brother, whether it is a core disciple or a direct disciple, they can all come. If not, find your Master Cave Master, an elder master, or even a Peak Master.


    This time, after all the direct disciples returned and heard about Lin Tian''s achievements, most of them were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to challenge Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian looked down on all of the direct disciples.


    Did he really think that no one could save him?


    But unfortunately, Lin Tian wasn''t in the cave, so those direct disciples that came to challenge Lin Tian all left a challenge letter and called out to come and challenge Lin Tian ¡­


    However, what was interesting was that these three types of messages, no matter which type, were all left behind by the direct disciples and there was no sign of a core disciple at all.


    Lin Tian thought about it and could understand. At that time, he had blown up Liu Feng with a single palm and heard that Liu Feng was ranked in the top ten of the core disciple rankings.


    Liu Feng had already exploded with a single palm strike. Who else would dare to rush over and seek a beating?


    But Lin Tian only glanced at it and casually threw those messages to the side, joking, challenging me, and even letting me come over.


    Isn''t my time precious? Fighting with you guys is already a waste of time, what''s more, you want me to come and fight you?


    Lin Tian coldly snorted and ignored those people. He sat down cross-legged and once again began cultivating.


    Lin Tian had not finished digesting the devil''s power that he had swallowed in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land. After this round of tempering, he felt that he could still absorb a large portion of the devil''s demon''s power ¡­


    At the same time, in the Demon Abyss, after Lin Tian had left, Ling Wuji also went straight to the bottom of the canyon.


    If Mei Zu really did die, then all of this would have a different meaning.


    If Charm Ancestor truly did die, then there was a high chance that Lin Tian had killed him. This way, once Charm Ancestor died, the disaster of the Charm Clan would be completely destroyed by Lin Tian.


    In this way, it proved another matter. Lin Tian had completed the third last words that Ling Xiao had left behind.


    Someone had eradicated the trouble with the Charming One Clan, and that person was the next sect leader of the Cloudsoaring sect!


    Today, the sect head was dead. In other words, Lin Tian could completely take over the sect head position ¡­


    Then, I can finally take off the burden on my body ¡­

 C471 Thousands of fingers

    Ling Xiao Sacred Sect immediately quietened down. After Ling Wuji returned from the Demon Valley, he did not say anything and did not announce anything. Instead, he chose to close his doors once again.


    In the battles between the six sects, it wasn''t only their disciples who were being tested, but also the elders and the sect head.


    At that time, it would be the time when the six great sects would officially show off their muscles. As someone at the first level of the Emperor Profound Realm, it was obvious that he wasn''t enough.


    Therefore, he could not hold the back of the Ling Xiao Sect, so Ling Wuji chose to go into closed door cultivation as well.


    The other Peak Masters were also in a hurry to prepare for the future battles of the six sects.


    Their own direct disciples were all firmly imprisoned within the peaks of the various peaks. They didn''t dare to be negligent and cultivated day and night, all for the sake of not losing face for the Lingxiao Sacred Sect in the war between the six sects.


    Days passed, and by now, it was only less than a month before the battles between the six sects.


    At this moment, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was once again in an uproar. This was precisely because this time, the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was going to begin their direct disciple selection battle.


    The students participating in the six sects'' competition only numbered ten each.


    As for the direct disciples, in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, even if there were no more than a thousand, there would at least be eight hundred.


    What was worth noting was that the Cloudsoaring sect''s hierarchy was the Sovereign ¡ª Peak Master, Elders ¡ª Cave Master, Deacons ¡ª Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, and Servants.


    The disciples of the sect were all saints, candidates for the position of sect head. There weren''t many saints like this within the sect.


    For some reason, in the first few years, when he had just taken over the position of sect head, Lord Sect Master''s performance had not been bad, but in the last few years, he had been in a state of seclusion. Other than Great Elder Ling Wuji, none of the Peak Masters had seen the Sect Master, but the reason they had listened to Ling Wuji was because Ling Wuji was the symbol of the sect, the Ling Xiao Saint Token ¡­


    However, no one knew when this Lord Sect Master would come out of seclusion. The First Elder also never mentioned anything about the Sect Master in front of everyone. This was the strangest thing.


    Moreover, the Sect Master did not accept any disciples.


    Thus, there were no saints within the sect.


    As for the disciples of the various Peak Masters, including Great Elder Ling Wuji, they were only direct disciples.


    And the disciples of the other elders on each peak were all core disciples.


    As for the disciples of the cave master, they were considered inner disciples. In addition, there were some deacons and the like. Their disciples were only outer disciples.


    As for the unpopular ones, they were all servants.


    In fact, it was clear between disciples with strict levels, and it also confirmed one thing. That was, among disciples of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, everything was based on one''s strength. If one''s strength wasn''t high enough, then nothing was.


    Therefore, the selection of disciples for the six sects'' competition this time was precisely made from the direct disciples.


    After all, direct disciples were the most powerful disciples of the entire Holy Sect.


    Therefore, almost everyone had come to participate in the competition of the six sects.


    But only Lin Tian didn''t come.


    Lin Tian was still in closed door cultivation and it was the critical moment.


    Actually, before, that Ling Wuji came in front of Lin Tian''s abode and looked around. However, since Lin Tian was in closed door cultivation, Ling Wuji did not disturb him.


    Although the inner and outer disciples were not qualified to participate in this time''s selection, they could all come to visit.


    After all, this was also an excellent opportunity to broaden their horizons.


    At the same time, not only did the inner and outer court disciples come, even all the core disciples in the school were gathered there.


    Some of the core disciples had even been given the opportunity to challenge by the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    The chance for this challenge referred to the sect''s selection battles. When the selection battles had ended and ten disciples had been thoroughly selected, the core disciples would have the right to issue a challenge to these direct disciples.


    If they succeeded, they could replace this personal disciple and become one of the ten.


    If they were to fail, it would not affect them in any way. Thus, it could be said that the selection process of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was not restricted at all.


    Of course, the setting of this rule was mostly to encourage the core disciples to participate in the core disciple competition. However, becoming a core disciple was originally a difficult task, and this time, not all core disciples would have the opportunity to do so.


    In the end, it was still those top ranked core disciple rankings that had this opportunity.


    Actually, if Lin Tian came, he would be able to tell that among those qualified students, there was Liu Feng ¡­


    The competition this time around was hosted by Great Elder Ling Wuji, which was enough to show how much importance the Lingxiao Saint Sect had placed on the competition this time. However, after some thought, although the Six Sects'' competitions were held every year, it was still a stage for all the disciples to display themselves.


    Who didn''t want to be famous among the six great sects? Who didn''t want to be an expert among the six great sects? Who didn''t want to show their prowess in the competition between the six great sects?


    Therefore, this time, all the direct disciples rubbed their shoulders and rubbed their hands. Even a portion of the core disciples looked extremely excited. Their eyes revealed a little surprise. This was the best stage and their only chance to show off their skills.


    "Students, the purpose of this competition is to discuss the following six sects. I believe all of you should already know about this. So, I won''t say anymore ¡­" At this moment, the Great Elder also opened his mouth. He glanced around before speaking to everyone.


    "Alright, next, I will talk about the rules this time ¡­" This time, he was talking about the rules of the next selection.


    Actually, the rules for this selection were quite simple, but the only difference was that the original ten participants were now one out of the slots.


    This was because one of the slots was for Lin Tian.


    However, just as he said that, the other direct disciples all looked at Ling Wuji with anger in their eyes.


    Even Ling Wuji''s own disciples looked at their master with confusion ¡­


    This, this does not seem to follow the rules ¡­


    One must know that all of these pro-disciples were people with high standards. However, they suddenly lost a spot. Furthermore, this spot was given to Ling Wuji''s disciple.


    Those disciples were naturally furious beyond compare.


    Ling Wuji seemed to have known about this situation for a long time. He did not say anything unnecessary and continued, "Disciples, do you have any objections? If you have any, you can just say it ¡­"


    Before his voice had even faded, a direct disciple suddenly spoke out, "I don''t agree!"


    Everyone''s eyes immediately turned to that student. That disciple was none other than the Peak Master of the Divine Martial Peak, the disciple of Ling Tianwu, Yang Bufan.


    Actually, if Lin Tian was here, he would know that this Yang Bufan was not a normal person. This person, in other words, his own body refining technique was strong, and he wanted to find the person that was stronger than Lin Tian ¡­


    "So it''s something extraordinary, something you don''t agree on. Just say it ¡­" Ling Wuji smiled and said.


    "Great Elder, what right do you have that Lin Tian doesn''t need to participate in the sect''s selection battle and can directly become one of these ten people? If that''s the case, then what''s the point of setting up such a sect''s internal selection battle?" Yang Bufan said in an agitated tone. His tone was filled with anger.


    Yang Bufan had heard of him before, but as a direct disciple, Yang Bufan already felt that it was Ling Wuji who was deliberately biased, but after all, it was Ling Wuji''s idea so no one could say anything about it. However, after hearing what Lin Tian had said, Yang Bufan''s impression of this Lin Tian brat fell to the extreme, and he had even specifically written a challenge to Lin Tian. Unfortunately, that brat did not dare to come, so Yang Bufan was thinking about how to teach this boy a good lesson in the sect''s selection.


    Forget about other matters, this matter was related to everyone''s interests, especially his interests. Naturally, he could not just let it go like this ¡­


    Ling Wuji looked at the rest of the people, and then said: "You, think the same thing?"


    Seeing that no one was responding, Ling Wuji spoke again, "Speak the truth. If you are not telling the truth now, then this matter is decided..."


    Speaking of that, the others looked at Ling Wuji in shock. They never thought that Ling Wuji was actually serious?


    Thinking of this, everyone became restless. They all said in unison, "We don''t agree, we don''t agree ¡­"


    "That''s right, that Lin Tian, let''s not even say if he''s strong or not, we haven''t even seen him before. Also, this time in the sect''s selection battle, he actually doesn''t even dare to show his face, is he afraid?" A direct disciple said.


    "That''s right. His strength isn''t just for show. Who knows what his true strength is? If he has the strength, he should come and participate in this selection battle instead of being a cowardly turtle!" Another direct disciple echoed.


    In an instant, the entire selection arena was filled with discussion, and all of them were ridiculing Lin Tian.


    Obviously, most of them did not agree with what Ling Wuji said ¡­

 C472 The strong ling wuji

    Ling Wuji didn''t say anything. He just quietly listened to the complaints of all the direct disciples until the crowd became furious. Even his own disciples looked at him with confusion. They didn''t know what he was trying to say.


    Ling Wuji smiled slightly, but did not say anything, and waited for everyone to quiet down, then Ling Wuji finally opened his mouth, and said in an earth-shattering manner: "Although I understand what you guys mean, and understand your thoughts, but unfortunately, Lin Tian is not my disciple, and does not need to participate in this competition. Of course, this is not what I mean, and the real reason why Lin Tian does not need to participate, is because he is a saint!"


    When these words were spoken, the entire stadium quietened down. However, a moment later, it was once again drowned by the loud noise ¡­


    "How is this possible?"


    "I don''t believe it!"


    "It was obviously your Great Elder who favored Lin Tian. When did saints appear in my Lingxiao Sacred Sect?"


    "That brat wants to become a saint? I think he''s just a fool. Grand Elder, how can you be a grand elder of our Holy Sect?"


    "¡­"


    Suddenly, everyone was shocked. They couldn''t believe the saint Ling Wuji was talking about.


    Within the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, there was only one type of disciple that could be called a saint. That was, only the direct disciples of the sect master could be called that.


    But that Lin Tian was obviously Ling Wuji''s disciple, and he, Ling Wuji, was only a Great Elder, he was not some Sect Master ¡­


    Why was his disciple called a saint? Isn''t this trespassing?


    In an instant, the entire selection field was once again drowned by even louder discussion and noise.


    This time, there were even a group of excited disciples who were cursing at Ling Wuji, saying that Ling Wuji was delusional and actually wanted to get the position of the master.


    Not only that, this time, the Peak Masters who had been silent all this time were all looking at Ling Wuji in shock. They had no idea what Ling Wuji was trying to do ¡­


    Saints, is that kid even worthy?


    Regardless of that brat''s potential or talent, just based on his strength alone, becoming a direct disciple was already difficult, let alone becoming a saint.


    Since the grand master was not around, it was impossible for the saints to assign anyone to be here. What the grand elder had done was not right ¡­


    At this moment, this was the thoughts of all the Peak Masters.


    Ling Wuji did not intend to explain, so he only spoke in a bland voice: "Lin Tian is a saint, he will not participate in this competition, but out of the ten people who are going to participate in the competition, there will definitely be one Lin Tian. Everyone be quiet, if there is any more noise, then don''t blame me for being rude ¡­"


    When he said those last words, Ling Wuji''s voice had turned completely cold. Apparently, his words had worked. The excited disciples had all calmed down now ¡­


    One must know that the grand master was not here. Furthermore, the token of the grand master, the Soaring Cloud Saint Medallion, was in Ling Wuji''s hands.


    In other words, Ling Wuji was the Acting Sect Master of the current Ling Xiao Sacred Sect. If he were to say something, even if they disagreed, they had no choice but to carry it out ¡­


    However, at this moment, Ling Wuyou could not help but walk over. Then, he looked at Ling Wuji with a puzzled expression and asked: "I''m afraid that the actions of the Great Elder are a little inappropriate ¡­"


    "How is that inappropriate?" Ling Wuji wasn''t surprised. He asked Ling Wuyou instead.


    "Then, Lin Tian brat, I won''t say much, but, I might be able to guess Great Elder''s intentions, but right now, the Cloudsoaring sect isn''t your Great Elder''s only faction. If the Sect Leader isn''t here, we won''t be able to see you make any mistakes either, since you took Lin Tian as your direct disciple, which is your right, so we can''t really say anything." But whether or not Lin Tian can become a saint is not up to your Great Elder to decide. If the Sect Master said it, I naturally have nothing to say, but since Sect Master has been in closed door cultivation until now, no one knows what your Sect Master''s intentions are. Ling Wuyou coldly humphed and spoke to Ling Wuji.


    Ling Wuji might be able to suppress the direct disciples and prevent them from talking, but he couldn''t control the Peak Masters.


    After all, Great Elder, in the end, is still only a Great Elder, not the Sect Leader ¡­


    That was why everyone trusted Ling Wuji. No matter what he said, they would listen to him, but it did not mean that they had no choice but to obey him.


    For example, Ling Wuji had completely overstepped his boundaries and exceeded the boundaries of the Grand Elder. After all, the matter of becoming a saint was no small matter. However, it was related to the reputation of the Lingxiao Saint Sect ¡­


    "Grand elder, you are missing consideration for this matter. We can''t just sit by and watch as you make a mistake ¡­"


    As he said that, the other Peak Masters all arrived in front of Ling Wuji and quietly looked at Ling Wuji. It was obvious that they wanted Ling Wuji to give them an explanation and take back what he had just said.


    However, Ling Wuji smiled. This time, he didn''t say anything. He just took out the medallion of the Lord. It was the medallion of the Saint Ling Xiao.


    With the order badge in hand, Ling Wuji shouted at the various Peak Masters: "Peak Masters listen up, this matter ends here. From today onwards, Lin Tian will be the sage of our Ling Xiao Saint Sect.


    This time, Ling Wuji didn''t say it in a tone of discussion. It was a naked order!


    And Ling Wuji was so tough all of a sudden. The Peak Masters were shocked and angry. They never thought Ling Wuji would have any intention of explaining and just took out the token. He was completely relying on the token to pressure them ¡­


    However, there was nothing they could do about it. The order was a token of the sect head, and the person who followed it was like the sect head himself. They could only listen to Ling Wuji''s orders and did not dare to refute at all.


    This was the rule of the Virtuous Heaven Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years. The rule was bigger than the sky and everything!


    The other disciples did not say anything, even the Peak Masters could do nothing about this matter, they had no choice, Lin Tian had become a saint, there was no need to participate in this selection battle, it was already a certain thing ¡­

 C473 Step into the death profound realm

    However, it was clear that there were many disciples who were unconvinced, and even the faces of the Peak Masters were a bit unsightly.


    However, there was no other way around it. Ling Wuji had even taken out the Ling Xiao Saint Token, who would dare to disobey him?


    As a result, many of the disciples also began to quickly adjust their states of mind as they prepared to fight.


    After all, there wasn''t much left to do next.


    But at the same time, Yang Bufan''s face kept changing as he started to search among the core disciples for someone.


    Not long after, Yang Bufan found a core disciple and whispered a few words into his ear.


    The core disciple didn''t stay any longer and directly left this place.


    Ling Wuji naturally knew that these disciples were more or less resentful, but they couldn''t do anything about it. Right now, he was acting as the Sect Leader, so no one dared to say anything.


    However, the reason why Ling Wuji made such a choice was because of his own consideration.


    The matter of the Sect Leader''s death had been concealed for a long time now, and the various Peak Masters more or less had some suspicions, but they didn''t have any evidence.


    However, Ling Wuji also knew that in the dark, the Peak Masters were also checking on the news about the Sect Leader ¡­


    Therefore, since this news couldn''t be concealed for too long, they had to make preparations.


    Actually, in the beginning, Ling Wuji did not want Lin Tian to become a saint. On the contrary, he thought highly of his eldest disciple and prepared to find a suitable time to help his eldest disciple become a saint.


    But now, Lin Tian''s appearance had changed his mind. However, the most important thing he wanted to do now was the third last words that Ling Xiao had left behind. This was the key to changing Ling Wuji''s mind.


    Furthermore, Ling Wuji was thinking about another horrible thing.


    Furthermore, the key point was that after Lin Tian walked out of the forbidden grounds, nothing had happened to him. Moreover, from the looks of it, it was very possible that he had obtained many benefits from those two forbidden grounds ¡­


    This is terrifying ¡­


    Putting aside the Navy Tide Forbidden Area, just the Demon Abyss that Ling Wuji knew of, the terrifying power that he had personally witnessed, in the end, Lin Tian had hunted down the Demon Ancestor in the Demon Abyss, as well as the Puppet Corpse that Lin Tian could control.


    This basically proved that the methods that Lin Tian had were very likely methods that even he, who was at the 1st level of the Emperor Realm, did not have ¡­


    This was too terrifying!


    Of course, Ling Wuji had another goal, and that was to force Lin Tian onto the Sect Master''s throne. At that time, even if he was completely free, he would be trapped in the Emperor Stage for many years, and would get older and older, sooner or later he would have to leave a way out.


    As for Lin Tian, who was currently in closed-door cultivation, he didn''t know of all this.


    He didn''t even know that he had become a saint in the Virtuous Cloud Sect ¡­


    And it was at this time that the figure of a core disciple suddenly appeared outside of Lin Tian''s cave. That disciple was sticking his head out to look at Lin Tian''s cave and seemed to be sneaking around.


    Lin Tian was currently in a critical period of closed door cultivation. His mental strength was extremely sensitive, so he had long since sensed that there was someone wandering around in front of his abode.


    Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. His mental strength condensed into an Essence Needle and instantly pierced through the stone door in front of the cave, directly rushing towards that person.


    That person was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Who knew that Lin Tian would suddenly make a move, just like that, without any defenses, that person''s soul was completely pierced by one of Lin Tian''s primordial spirit thorns. With a miserable scream, that disciple carried his head and left ¡­


    Lin Tian coldly snorted and ignored that person. Right now he was in closed door cultivation, otherwise, that person''s injury wouldn''t be to his soul, he would probably be crippled by Lin Tian ¡­ ¡­


    Concentrating and holding his breath, Lin Tian once again entered into a state of cultivation. That demon''s body was already more than half absorbed by Lin Tian.


    This would greatly help Lin Tian''s cultivation because the current Lin Tian had already reached the fifth level of the Profound Life stage.


    The Life and Death Realm was divided into the fifth level of the Profound Life Stage and the fourth level of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    One of the main characteristics of Profound Life stage is that the life force and aura in Lin Tian''s body are incomparably tyrannical. Profound Life stage can increase one''s lifespan by one hundred years, and upon reaching the Death Profound Realm, one''s entire body will be filled with an aura of death.


    Lin Tian had now reached the critical point of the Profound Life and Death Profound Realm.


    As long as he could step past the fifth level of the Profound Life stage, he would be able to reach the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm.


    Thus, at this moment, within Lin Tian''s body, there were two distinct terrifying auras that continuously revolved.


    One was vitality. His left side was filled with business and vitality, but his right side was filled with death energy. The hair on his right side was completely white, and even the wrinkles on his face had increased by quite a bit.


    The left side of his face looked like that of a youth, and the right side of his face looked like that of a drooping old man ¡­


    Not long after, it completely bathed Lin Tian''s entire body in the aura of death. Not long after, the aura of death spread throughout Lin Tian''s body, and Lin Tian was completely surrounded by the aura of death and became a "dead person" ¡­ ¡­


    After reaching the dead Profound Realm, Lin Tian even discovered that his Yuan Power had changed. It had changed from its original pure Yuan Power to its current black Yuan Power.


    Lin Tian was at a loss for a bit, but he didn''t pay too much attention. He completely withdrew the aura into his body and only then did Lin Tian open his eyes.


    "First level of the Nascent Profound Realm!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but feel excited.


    Previously, he thought that the Emperor Stage was unattainable, but he never expected that he would soon reach that level. Above the Life and Death Stage was the Manifestation Stage. Above the Manifestation Stage was the Emperor Stage!


    Once he reaches the King''s Realm, he will be able to meet with Yun Huang ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s mood slightly fluctuated.


    This journey was really too arduous, but it was simple, Lin Tian had endured it all ¡­


    Just as Lin Tian was thinking about this, from the stone door outside his cave unexpectedly came another voice ¡­


    "Junior brother Lin, junior brother Lin ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he suddenly recognized the person who spoke those words.


    "So it''s him." The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth hooked into a slight sneer.

 C474 Alarmism!

    It turned out that that person was none other than Wang Heng, whom he hadn''t seen for a long time ¡­


    Actually, ever since the departure of the stadium, it had been several months since Lin Tian saw Wang Heng.


    Previously, when he thought of Wang Heng, Lin Tian was still thinking of when he should go find Wang Heng and ask him for all of his points ¡­


    After all, those points were all earned by Lin Tian and Wang Heng at the same time.


    But because later on, when Lin Tian entered the Navy Tide Forbidden Land, this matter was left unsettled ¡­ ¡­


    Actually, Lin Tian had been thinking about when he would teach Wang Heng a lesson. This person had no idea in his heart. Could it be that he didn''t know that Lin Tian had already walked out of the Navy Tide Forbidden Land?


    If he knew, how could he not send all those points over?


    If he had the thought of taking all those points for himself, then Lin Tian wouldn''t mind teaching him how to be a good person ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. He flicked his finger and the stone door of the cave instantly opened.


    The person standing outside was no other than Wang Heng.


    "Oh? Why is Martial Nephew Wang free to come to my place?" Lin Tian coldly laughed and then spoke out. Previously, he had called Wang Heng by his name. But now, he was already the direct disciple of Great Elder Ling Wuji, and was also a second generation disciple. Compared to Wang Heng, an inner disciple, he was not much older, just a bit older.


    Thus, the reason why this Junior Martial Nephew was shouting it was because it was reasonable ¡­


    Wang Heng was also slightly startled, but he immediately understood what Lin Tian meant.


    However, he did not have time to explain, and directly said: "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, it''s bad, those people from Tian Luo Country that came with you were kidnapped ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled, but immediately after, his eyes became cold.


    This was something that Lin Tian never would have thought of. He thought that the Cloudsoaring sect was safe enough, so after such a long period of time, Lin Tian had been cultivating and did not pay attention to any news of them.


    But she didn''t expect that there would be a problem here ¡­


    However, there wasn''t enough time to think about it. Lin Tian directly asked: "Do you know who did it?"


    "I know that person. It seems to be someone from ''Fierce Tooth'' ¡­" It turned out that on that day, Lin Tian heard a noise coming from the inner sect disciples'' residences, as if someone had started a dispute. At first, he did not care, but later he saw Gu Yan''er.


    He knew Gu Yan''er, and knew that she was with Lin Tian. So after knowing about this, he first confirmed the information of who had kidnapped those people, then hurried over to report it to Lin Tian ¡­


    "Fangs?" Lin Tian slightly hesitated, then asked: "What is that thing?"


    "That is an organization among disciples. The leader of the organization is the Peak Master of the Godly Martial Peak, disciple of Ling Shen Wu, Yang Bufan ¡­" Wang Heng replied.


    "It''s this Yang Bufan again!" Lin Tian fiercely patted the stone bench beneath his feet. The stone bench immediately turned into dust, falling down one by one.


    When Wang Heng saw this, he was shocked. At this time, he fiercely looked at Lin Tian''s appearance and couldn''t help but exclaim: "Junior brother Lin, you, you''ve actually reached the Death Profound Realm?"


    Wang Heng was truly shocked.


    It had to be known that a few months ago, when he and Lin Tian met in the stadium, Lin Tian''s strength was only at the Star River Realm.


    But after such a short period of time, Lin Tian had broken through from the Star River Realm to the Life and Death Realm ¡­


    This kind of cultivation speed was simply unimaginable. Even the top geniuses within the Lingxiao Sacred Sect would not be able to reach this kind of cultivation speed ¡­


    Lin Tian did not waste time speaking and did not answer Wang Heng''s question. Instead, he directly said to Wang Heng: "Take me to see ¡­"


    There was no way that Lin Tian would not care about Ji Fang Ge''s life and death.


    That fang, although Lin Tian didn''t know what organization it was, but since it had angered him, they had to pay the price for their wrongdoings.


    Especially that Yang Bufan!


    Actually, Lin Tian hated it when someone threatened him with someone close to him the most. If that happened, Lin Tian would definitely fight to the death with his enemy ¡­ ¡­


    Previously, Luo Lie was the one who killed Uncle Yu, and Yan Wuhen was the same, including the Blood Demon Sect who had captured his master Xiao Yunhai.


    And this time, Yang Bufan and the so-called "fang" behind him was no exception!


    Wang Heng did not waste any time. He directly brought Lin Tian out of the cave and headed towards the Fierce Tooth''s headquarters, towards the Divine Martial Peak.


    On the road, Lin Tian also found out about the news of the sect''s selection battle.


    Three days had passed since the battle for the sect''s selection. The battle was extremely intense, and the ten names on the list had yet to be selected ¡­


    However, from Wang Heng''s intermittent narration, Lin Tian had also heard the news that Ling Wuji had conferred him the title of Saint in the Soaring Cloud Sect.


    Lin Tian was slightly surprised that he had become a saint, but he did not care.


    He didn''t know what the saint was used for, but it didn''t sound too bad and Lin Tian wouldn''t refuse.


    However, Lin Tian had also heard of another thing. After becoming a saint, Lin Tian didn''t need to participate in the sect''s selection competition and would be listed on the list of ten people. He would represent the Lingxiao Saint Sect in the six sect''s competition ¡­.


    After hearing this news, Lin Tian slightly furrowed his brows. He immediately understood why Ji Fangge and the others were harmed. It was because of this and most likely because of it.


    All of the direct disciples had participated in the sect''s selection battle, but he did not. Furthermore, Yang Bufan originally did not accept Lin Tian and gave him a written challenge. Lin Tian was anxious to cultivate so he did not pay any attention to Yang Bufan.


    As a result, with the combination of the two sides'' resentment, it was not surprising for Yang Bufan to do such a thing.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately changed his mind, and said to Wang Heng: "Take me to the sect''s selection battle place ¡­ ¡­"


    Wang Heng was slightly startled, but then he asked in puzzlement, "You don''t need to participate in the sect''s selection battle, what are you going there for? Moreover, aren''t you going to save the disciples that came with you?"


    "Of course!" Lin Tian replied without hesitation: "It''s just that I need to find another way to save them ¡­ ¡­"


    Lin Tian''s face was gloomy and cold. Since Yang Bufan wanted to force him to show himself, then of course he had to go see him.


    Lin Tian understood the reasoning behind this, if Yang Bufan really did kidnap Ji Fang Ge and Gu Yan''er because of the matter of the sect''s selection battle, then Yang Bufan definitely wouldn''t harm them. Yang Bufan''s only goal was to force Lin Tian to show himself!


    Since that was the case, naturally, they had to satisfy him.


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth curled into a sneer, causing Wang Heng''s heart to twitch.


    At that time, it was this smile that caused Lin Tian to explode countless disciples in the stadium.


    Wang Heng had a feeling that Yang Bufan would be next!

 C475 Yang bufan

    After all, there were so many disciples participating in the sect selection competition. The number of direct disciples was definitely not a few, and there were at least a hundred of them.


    Moreover, to be able to become a direct disciple, which one of them wasn''t a top genius and didn''t have a trump card in their hand?


    However, because of this, there was another problem, and that was that the direct disciples were almost all engaged in life-and-death battles. Therefore, a single battle would take a long time.


    This was also the reason why the sect selection battles had been fruitless for three consecutive days.


    Today was the fourth day.


    Lin Tian followed Wang Heng until they arrived at the location of the sect''s selection battle. Before they even went in, they heard waves of cheers from inside.


    "Senior Yang, good job, kill him ¡­" This kind of shouting could be heard incessantly, and the disciples that heard it were clearly very excited.


    "Senior brother Yang?" Lin Tian''s brows slightly wrinkled, his heart was surprised, could it be that Yang Bufan?


    "What a coincidence ¡­" Wang Heng also had an astonished face. What a coincidence, Lin Tian had come to look for Yang Bufan. But now, it was actually Yang Bufan who was fighting?


    If Wang Heng hadn''t been following Lin Tian, they would have suspected that Lin Tian had intentionally chosen to appear at this time ¡­


    Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly walked into the arena.


    However, at this time, everyone''s eyes were focused on that pair of battlefields. No one noticed the arrival of Lin Tian and Wang Heng.


    At this time, this was also the first time Lin Tian had seen this so-called Yang Bufan.


    After confirming with Wang Heng that the white-clothed man currently standing in the arena was Yang Bufan, Lin Tian''s eyes instantly turned cold.


    When this person began to challenge him, he completely ignored him. However, he didn''t expect to be so greedy as to actually dare to kidnap his men!


    You must be tired of living, and the strength of your physical body is unparalleled. It looks like you have never seen a person with a strong physical body before!


    Thinking like this, Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly roared at Yang Bufan: "That Yang fella, get the hell down here!"


    Saying this, Lin Tian directly used the Sky Shifting Hand.


    The Sky Shifting Hand was Lin Tian''s current strongest attack technique. Currently, when facing this Yang Bufan who dared to attack Gu Yan''er and the rest, he naturally would not hold back. Thus, the first attack he made was his strongest attack.


    At this moment, Yang Bufan was still in a daze. He had no idea what was going on, but in the next moment, a vigorous palm force that was like a mountain pressing down on him came surging towards him.


    Although he was dazed, at the last moment, Yang Bufan still dangerously dodged Lin Tian''s attack.


    But soon after, Yang Bufan angrily roared at Lin Tian: "Who are you to dare behave so atrociously in the sect''s selection battle!"


    Lin Tian did not reply. Instead, the other disciples that had recovered from their shock said to Yang Bufan: "Senior brother Yang, this person is Lin Tian!"


    When these words came out, everyone''s gazes focused on Lin Tian.


    There was no need to talk about those inner and outer court disciples. Many of them had seen Lin Tian before, and many of the core disciples were the same.


    This was the first time they had truly seen Lin Tian. In an instant, everyone''s eyes were fixated on Lin Tian, as if they wanted to see what exactly was so special about this brat who had turned the entire Ling Xiao Sacred Sect upside down the moment he entered the sect ¡­


    But this time I saw it all.


    This fellow, is a boorish man ¡­


    The group of direct disciples were silently cursing in their hearts. If he wasn''t a boor, then what was he?


    How could there be a disciple who would make the first move when he had just arrived?


    Didn''t he see that the Grand Elder and the Peak Masters were all standing there?


    The truth was that Lin Tian saw it, but he didn''t pay too much attention to it.


    So what if there were a few Peak Masters? Lin Tian really did not come to ruin things, he came precisely for Yang Bufan.


    He had secretly used his own power to kidnap an inner disciple. No matter what, it was his fault!


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly opened his mouth and berated: "Good, Yang Bufan, I don''t know how I, Lin Tian, offended you, but if you want to implicate all the inner sect disciples that came with me, they will all be punished, and you even secretly lead people to kidnap them. You sure have guts, let me ask you, this large Ling Xiao Sect, is it really your family that has opened it?"


    "Hmm?" Everyone present could tell that something wasn''t right from Lin Tian''s words. What was this?


    "What''s going on?" Ling Wuji was also slightly startled as he looked at Lin Tian in confusion.


    At this time, Yang Bufan was stunned. He didn''t think that the moment Lin Tian walked in, he would send out a palm and then a large hat.


    But immediately after, he understood Lin Tian''s meaning.


    However, just as he was about to speak, Lin Tian opened his mouth once again. This time, he was even more ruthless, "Master, I heard that I am now a saint of the Virtuous Cloud Sect, right?"


    Without waiting for Ling Wuji to speak.


    Lin Tian''s words shot out like crazy: "I know that my ability is shallow, my strength is not enough, I can''t afford to be appointed as a saint. Moreover, in the Six Sects'' Debate, I won''t escape from the competition in the sect, I will definitely rely on my own strength to enter into the list of ten people, even if I am lacking in strength and lose to everyone, I have nothing to say. But, I didn''t know about this sect''s selection beforehand, and now I have hurried over to prove to everyone Senior Brothers and Peak Master that I can rely on my own strength to become one of the ten people."


    "But!" Lin Tian''s tone became more and more sorrowful.


    "However, after I came out of seclusion, I heard another piece of news. The few disciples who came out of Tian Luo Country with me, Ji Fang Ge, and Gu Yan''er were kidnapped by Senior Brother Yang Bufan''s'' Fangs'' organization. And, as far as I know, the mastermind is this Yang Bufan!" Lin Tian pointed at Yang Bufan, and before Yang Bufan could say anything, he once again said: "Senior brother Yang, I know what you mean, but you don''t like me being a saint right? So first you kidnap them, then you force me to appear and fight with you, at that time, if my strength is inferior to yours, do you want to say that I am not qualified to be a saint, and you want to replace me?"


    "Also, I know that you didn''t like me for a long time, but today, I want to see how strong senior brother Yang is and how senior brother Yang is going to deal with me, a Saint!"


    Lin Tian roughly explained the entire situation in these words.


    The expressions of those outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples and core disciples all changed. Their eyes were full of doubt as they looked at Yang Bufan.


    As for the direct disciples, they all looked at each other as they looked at Lin Tian. Originally, they had thought that this Lin Tian was just a boorish fellow who did not know what was going on, but now, it seemed that was not the case.


    When they thought of this, everyone turned to look at Yang Bufan inquiringly.


    Indeed, when Lin Tian became a saint, these direct disciples did not dare to say anything. However, what Yang Bufan had done was a bit too unreasonable. Furthermore, it was against the rules of the sect.


    Within the Virtuous Cloud Sect, although disciples were encouraged to challenge each other, it was a fair battle. If it was a private battle, the entire sect would not allow it.


    As for Yang Bufan''s behavior, it was to kidnap other people, which was even more serious.


    To put it bluntly, this was completely against the rules of the sect.


    At this time, Ling Wuji and the other Peak Masters had also realized the seriousness of this matter.


    Even the Peak Masters were against Ling Wuji''s willfulness and wanted Lin Tian to be their Saint. However, since Ling Wuji had given them the Ling Xiao Saint Token, what was the use of them objecting?


    They did not dare to defy this will, because of Yang Bufan''s anger, he actually kidnapped a few other inner disciples who were on good terms with Lin Tian?


    Could it be that he was going to turn the tables?


    Ling Wuji''s face turned extremely dark. It was obvious that he was on the verge of exploding, but he resisted the urge to. Instead, he looked towards the Peak Master of the Godly Martial Peak, Ling Shenwu.


    This Yang Bufan was not one of his disciples. He wanted to see what kind of explanation this Ling Shen Wu would give.


    "Evil creature!" Just a moment ago, he had been thinking about how to deal with this matter. Now that he saw Ling Wuji looking at him, he immediately rushed in front of Yang Bufan.


    "Pah!" A heavy slap landed on Yang Bufan''s face, "Bastard, why aren''t you kneeling down? You dare to torture an inner disciple without permission. How many heads do you have?"


    Ling Shen Wu''s hand was heavy as he sent Yang Bufan flying with a single slap. Yang Bufan''s face was swollen from the slap, but he did not dare show any signs of anger. He only looked at Lin Tian with increasingly sinister eyes.


    "Master, I ¡­" Yang Bufan turned around and glanced at Ling Shenwu, as if he wanted to argue with him. However, this time, Ling Shenwu did not give him a good look. Instead, he shouted, "Kneel down!"


    Yang Bufan had no time to explain and directly kneeled down.


    Because just now, he saw Ling Shen Wu give him a slight wink.


    How could he not understand the meaning behind this?


    "Putong!" Yang Bufan immediately knelt down and spoke to Ling Wuji and the rest: "Great Elder, Peak Masters, I am confused ¡­"

 C476 Lin tians anger!

    Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They didn''t know what Ling Shenwu and Yang Bufan were trying to say.


    However, from the looks of Yang Bufan kneeling because of his willingness, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that what Lin Tian said was true.


    That Yang Bufan had really kidnapped Ji Fang Ge, Gu Yan''er, and the rest ¡­


    Thinking of this, the crowd found it even more unbelievable, this Yang Bufan was too audacious, he even dared to do something that violated the rules of the sect, no wonder Lin Tian was so angry and directly came to their door ¡­


    However, at this moment, Lin Tian was stubbornly staring at Yang Bufan and Ling Shen Wu, with a sneer on his face.


    This master and disciple pair were really good at acting. What, did they want to use such a stratagem to give him an explanation?


    But to Lin Tian, this was far from enough. What Lin Tian wanted was not only this ¡­


    "My disciple doesn''t know the seriousness of the punishment. Originally, he should have been punished according to the sect''s rules. However, this matter is related to my lack of strict discipline, so I am willing to accept the punishment. Please decide on it, Great Elder!" Ling Shen Wu gritted his teeth and then spoke to the Great Elder and the various Peak Masters.


    When these words were spoken, the several Peak Masters and disciples below the stage immediately clamored.


    Ling Shen Wu''s actions could not be any clearer. He was determined to protect this disciple.


    One must know that if Yang Bufan was truly as Lin Tian had said, he would have violated the sect''s rules, moreover, it was the strictest sect rule, not to mention, he was the direct disciple. With his status as the direct disciple, it was reasonable to say that he was even more guilty, and would be directly expelled from the sect.


    But now, with his identity as the Peak Master of the Sky Cloud Martial School, Ling Shen Wu had revealed that he had overreprimanded Yang Bufan. He was obviously trying to get out of the situation and share some of Yang Bufan''s punishments.


    However, there was nothing that he could do about it. Yang Bufan was his first disciple, and also the Peak Master of the Godly Martial Peak that he had previously decided on.


    Moreover, among his disciples, only Yang Bufan''s strength barely met his requirements.


    In the ranking of the direct disciples, Yang Bufan was ranked in the top five.


    For such a disciple, no matter what, Ling Tianwu had to protect him.


    However, at this moment, Ling Wuji was frowning slightly. He understood Lin Tian''s character very well, this brat had a vengeful heart, this kind of person, he would always hold a grudge. Of course, Lin Tian would also spare no effort to help those close to him.


    Therefore, this time Yang Bufan had sent people to abduct Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er and the others. They must have violated a big taboo of Lin Tian''s. No matter what, he would never let that Yang Bufan off.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have said those words so aggressively just now ¡­


    However, there was another problem. Now that Ling Tianwu had stepped in, Ling Wuji did not want to break off all decorum with him.


    One had to know that of the nine peaks of the Lingxiao Saint Sect, besides the strongest one, it was this Godly Martial Peak.


    Ling Wuji''s original intention was for Lin Tian to become a Saint. Once Lin Tian completely took over the position of Sect Master, Ling Wuji would reveal everything that had happened, and then openly make Lin Tian the Sect Master.


    And when Lin Tian became sect head, the most important thing was the support of the various mountain peak masters.


    Previously, he had relied on the Soaring Cloud Saint''s Token to forcefully suppress the crowd''s rebounding emotions.


    He knew that all the Peak Masters were angry in their hearts.


    As he thought about it, Ling Wuji felt a headache coming. He was even considering if it was because his method was too simple and he was in a hurry to get what he wanted, which resulted in a result that he could not deal with now ¡­


    He first decided that Lin Tian would become a saint of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, and then he said that Lin Tian did not need to participate in the school''s selection battle. With this, it would be equivalent to putting Lin Tian on fire, which led to Yang Bufan''s strong rebound ¡­


    If he let Yang Bufan go, Lin Tian definitely would not agree, but he would not let Yang Bufan go. Ling Shen Wu also could not accept it, this would allow Lin Tian to take over the position of Sect Master of the Ling Xiao Saint Sect, and cause ripples to appear, but no matter what, these were not things that Ling Wuji wanted to see ¡­


    "Hehe, Brother Yang Bufan does have a good master, I''m so envious of him!" Just at this time, Lin Tian didn''t waste any more words as he ridiculed once again.


    This time, even Ling Wuji was ridiculed by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s meaning was extremely clear. If Yang Bufan made a mistake, Ling Shen Wu would help. But now, his master, Ling Wuji, was standing on the spot, not saying a word ¡­


    "Lin Tian, you must also know that it is Yang Bufan''s fault to take them in when they are in the right. But in your heart, you should be clear about the reason. Moreover, Yang Bufan only kidnapped them and not killed them. Why are you so excited?" At this moment, Ling Wuyou suddenly spoke up.


    Ling Wuyou''s impression of Lin Tian had always been poor, so when he spoke, it was obvious that he was helping Ling Shenwu and Yang Bufan.


    "Hehe, the reason?" Lin Tian suddenly laughed out loud: "I understand. In the end, you think that I, Lin Tian, am not strong enough and do not deserve to be a saint ¡­ ¡­"


    "It would seem that you are not the only person who has such a thought. I''m afraid that everyone else is thinking the same thing, right?" Lin Tian swept his gaze at the others.


    The others looked as if they were watching a show, unmoved by it.


    Originally, I, Lin Tian, would not even bother to be a saint, but today, all of you look down on me with your eyes, so I will be a saint. Not only that, today, I will let all of you see just how I, Lin Tian, can become a saint. Lin Tian angrily laughed, and shouted out to the crowd.


    As for Lin Tian, he did not intend to be a saint, nor did he understand why Ling Wuji favored him so much. However, he guessed that it was because Ling Wuji knew that it was him who killed that Charm Ancestor ¡­


    However, knowing this, there was nothing bad about it.


    Since they were all suspicious of Lin Tian, then Lin Tian would let them see that these so-called direct disciples, those treasures that had been praised by the peak masters, were only fit to be used as dirt under his feet!


    Today, let''s start with this Yang Bufan and let them open their dog eyes and see just how strong he, Lin Tian, is!

 C477 Fighting yang bufan!

    This time, it was them who had completely aroused Lin Tian''s competitive spirit, so Lin Tian didn''t say much.


    Instead, he coldly glanced at Yang Bufan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Yang Bufan, if I remember correctly, you left a challenge letter in front of the immortal estate that year, right?"


    When the crowd heard this, their gazes once again gathered on Lin Tian.


    To be honest, after Lin Tian said those words, the impression of all the peak masters and disciples towards Lin Tian became a bit worse.


    This brat was really a boorish person. Did he really think that he was unrivalled under the heavens?


    How dare he spout such arrogant words? I really don''t know who gave him this confidence ¡­


    But the reason Lin Tian said these words, could it be that he wanted to challenge Yang Bufan?


    However, if that was the case, there would really be a good show to watch next ¡­


    Yang Bufan also immediately understood Lin Tian''s meaning, but he still pretended that he didn''t understand and then asked Lin Tian: "Junior brother Lin, I know this is my fault. Can I apologize for you?" "Don''t be angry with me for being your brother. When I challenged you, you were not a saint. But now, you are a saint, how could I dare challenge you?"


    Yang Bufan spoke the truth, and the mocking tone in his voice became more obvious.


    Lin Tian didn''t waste any time and once again asked: "Since you said it like this, let me tell you this. If you can defeat me in the sect''s selection battle, not only will I not pursue the matter of you abducting an inner disciple without permission from the sect, but I will also give you this saint, what about it?"


    "You can''t!" As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Ling Wuji was the first to interrupt Lin Tian''s words.


    The other direct disciples also looked at Lin Tian with a face full of shock. Then, they shouted at Lin Tian: "No, this is not appropriate ¡­."


    What a joke, Lin Tian''s strength only looked like he was at the first level of the dead Profound Realm. Among the direct disciples, this kind of strength was considered above average, and he was ranked fifth amongst the direct disciples. His strength had long since entered the Manifestation Realm, and compared to Lin Tian, he was much stronger.


    Thus, it should be normal for Yang Bufan to defeat Lin Tian.


    This was nothing, but Lin Tian said that if he lost he would give up his identity as a saint. This was something that all the other direct disciples would never accept.


    After all, Yang Bufan''s strength was not the strongest amongst the direct disciples.


    Therefore, how could those other direct disciples agree...


    "I am a saint. How I choose is my business. You are just direct disciples. Do you dare to question me?" Lin Tian fiercely roared at the direct disciples.


    As he roared, there were some dragon roars that sounded extremely terrifying. Especially an inner and outer disciple with a low cultivation level. Right now, they could not bear Lin Tian''s angry roar and directly fainted.


    Saying that, Lin Tian turned to Ling Wuji and said: "Master, in the current situation, do you still want to pretend to be ignorant?"


    "These people are here for the saint''s position. Today''s battle is unavoidable. I''ll let them know what a true saint is like!" Lin Tian looked at Yang Bufan disdainfully, then asked again: "Yang Bufan, do you agree or not?"


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, it''s hard to refuse your kindness!" Yang Bufan stood up and then faintly smiled: "I can only accept it, but don''t worry junior brother Lin, no matter what the final outcome of the battle is, I will let my junior brothers go and personally apologize ¡­"


    The martial nephew that Yang Bufan was talking about was Ji Fangge and a few others.


    "As for the matter of saints, I still have to advise junior brother Lin to think about it ¡­" Yang Bufan said hypocritically.


    "I''ve made my decision. Of course, since you''ve said the result after my defeat, I would like to ask you this. If you lose, what does it matter?" Lin Tian indifferently asked.


    "If I lose?" Yang Bufan was slightly startled, but soon after, he smiled and said: "No matter what result junior brother Lin suggests, I will agree ¡­"


    "Alright, if you lose, I don''t need too much. Your arms will do!" Lin Tian said in a sinister voice.


    "Boasting shamelessly!" When Yang Bufan heard these words, he immediately became furious. He exchanged a glance with his master, then pointed to the stage and said to Lin Tian: "Junior brother Lin, please!"


    "Make your move ¡­" Lin Tian indifferently jumped onto the arena and casually said.


    "You want me to make the first move?" Yang Bufan said with a troubled face: "Junior brother Lin, this is not good, after all my cultivation is stronger than yours, you should first ¡­"


    "Alright!" Lin Tian did not continue with the nonsense. He only had one thought in mind, to cripple this Yang Bufan!


    "Whoosh!" Lin Tian''s figure immediately disappeared from where he stood, and in the next moment, he fiercely charged towards Yang Bufan.


    I thought you had some ability to boast about yourself in public, but it turns out you''re just a little proficient in footwork. Fine then, let me show you today, a disciple from a small country is just a piece of trash, you want to become a saint of our Holy Sect?" Yang Bufan''s mouth revealed a cold and disdainful smile, but he didn''t resist and directly sent a slap towards Lin Tian.


    But after the palm that was full of power was thrown towards Lin Tian, Yang Bufan was shocked to discover that after the palm landed on Lin Tian''s body, Lin Tian unexpectedly did not have any reaction.


    It was as if that palm strike was completely useless against Lin Tian.


    "What a powerful body!" However, in the next moment, Yang Bufan understood the reason. After all, he had heard that the strength of this kid''s physical body was extremely tyrannical.


    Seeing it today, there was indeed something extraordinary about it ¡­


    Thinking of this, Yang Bufan became excited. After all, he had trained in body tempering techniques before. His physical body far surpassed experts of the same level and was extremely terrifying ¡­


    As a result, he did not hesitate at all and directly used his physical body''s power, wanting to clash head on with Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was blocked by Yang Bufan''s palm just now, but immediately after, Lin Tian fiercely rushed towards Yang Bufan.


    "If you want to compete with me in physical strength, I''m afraid you''ve made a mistake!" At this moment, Yang Bufan was incomparably excited. It was as if he had already seen the title of saint waving at him, which made him extremely excited.


    But at this time, Lin Tian had already arrived in front of him.


    With a bang, the shockwave and aftershock created by the collision between the two of them swept through everything around them in an extremely terrifying manner!

 C478 Direct waste!

    That wave of energy did not disappear for a long time. Instead, it had always been surrounding Lin Tian and Yang Bufan, causing people to be unable to clearly see what was happening to the two of them ¡­


    Ah!" Right at this moment, an extremely miserable scream suddenly sounded out between the two of them, and it caused chills to run down one''s spine ¡­


    "Whose voice?" A direct disciple could not help but ask.


    "I don''t know, but it''s very likely that it''s Lin Tian''s. After all, that Yang Bufan''s body refining technique ¡­" Another disciple had not finished speaking, but in the next moment, he completely shut his mouth.


    The next moment, Yang Bufan was blown away.


    The instant he met Lin Tian, Yang Bufan felt his body suddenly relax. After that, he felt the bones in his body emit cracking sounds.


    His internal organs had been deformed by the impact of Lin Tian''s attack.


    His consciousness gradually became blurry. He could feel his seven orifices bleeding. It was extremely terrifying ¡­


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." There was a sudden collective gasp from the audience.


    Many people found it hard to believe their eyes. They never thought that the one who was sent flying and heavily injured was none other than that Yang Bufan ¡­


    On the other hand, Lin Tian''s face was rosy, as if in that one strike, Lin Tian had not used his full strength at all ¡­


    "How is this possible?" At this time, the various Peak Masters all had faces of shock as they looked at Lin Tian. Obviously, they didn''t expect that in the end, it would be this result.


    Yang Bufan was a Manifestation stage practitioner. In the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, he was already comparable to an elder ¡­


    Ling Shen Wu''s face was also filled with shock as he watched the final result. No matter what, he never thought that the final result would be like this.


    Lin Tian''s strength, what level had it reached? With Yang Bufan''s Manifestation stage strength and his specialized body cultivation, even he was instantly killed by Lin Tian!


    "You want to compete with me in physical strength?" Lin Tian laughed, then mockingly said: "Then I''m guessing that you''ll need another hundred years to be able to keep up with my footsteps ¡­ ¡­"


    Crazy, these words are crazy.


    However, Lin Tian had the ability to be arrogant. Yang Bufan was ranked among the top five direct disciples, and had the strength of a Manifestation stage practitioner. He had the ability to defy all the direct disciples in the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, but even so, in the end, wasn''t he still directly destroyed by Lin Tian ¡­


    At this time, the direct disciples all understood that this Lin Tian was definitely not weak. He was very strong.


    There were even many direct disciples that felt that Lin Tian was much stronger than they imagined.


    This performance was the best evidence.


    Ling Wuji also looked at Lin Tian with some astonishment. It seemed that this boy, he seemed to still have some tricks up his sleeve ¡­


    However, in this way, he could rest assured. If the Lingxiao Sacred Sect were to be handed over to this brat, they would not be humiliated ¡­


    But at the same time, Lin Tian also suddenly took another step forward. His face revealed a sinister expression, and he grabbed onto Yang Bufan''s neck: "Yang Bufan, do you remember before, I asked you: what if you lose, how did you answer me?"


    "Lin Tian, stop!" Just at this moment, when he noticed that something was amiss with Lin Tian''s words, Ling Shen Wu opened his mouth and roared at Lin Tian.


    But at this moment, it was already too late.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian already made the first move.


    He tightly held onto Yang Bufan''s arms and exerted a little strength. At this moment, Yang Bufan''s screams could be heard once again.


    However, this time, the screams were much more terrifying than the previous ones.


    This time, Yang Bufan was completely crippled by Lin Tian.


    Not only were his arms broken by Lin Tian, the most important thing was that when Lin Tian made his move, he also used a bit of soul force and completely tore apart Yang Bufan''s arms. In other words, in the future, other than treating Yang Bufan as a normal person, his arms would have no other use.


    "You little bastard, how dare you!" At this moment, Ling Shen Wu was filled with both shock and anger. He never thought that he would be so close. Lin Tian had already crippled Yang Bufan.


    "Get the hell back to me. Otherwise, the rest of this will not be a problem for your arm!" Lin Tian tightly gripped onto Yang Bufan''s neck and roared at Ling Shen Wu.


    "Are you looking for ¡ª seeking ¡ª death!" Ling Shen Wu gritted his teeth and retreated a step before shouting at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s actions this time completely angered Ling Shen Wu. One must know that this Yang Bufan was Ling Shen Wu''s favorite disciple, but he didn''t expect that in the end, this little bastard Lin Tian would really cripple him.


    "Master, are you just going to watch this old thing bully your disciple?" Right at this moment, Lin Tian also roared at Ling Wuji, his voice carrying a hint of ridicule. Afterwards, Lin Tian said with a smile that was not a smile: "Master, you should know, I am a saint of the Lingxiao Saint Sect ¡­"


    At this moment, Ling Wuji finally reacted, but he could only sigh slightly. His previous guess was correct, that brat Lin Tian was vengeful and never suffered a loss, so this time, he was mentally prepared. However, this gave him a huge problem.


    Yang Fan was Ling Tianwu''s favorite disciple. Now that Lin Tian had crippled him, it meant that he had completely offended Ling Tianwu. What happened after that ¡­


    "Divine Martial, you must know that Lin Tian is a saint!" Ling Wuji was silent for a moment, but still, he spoke word by word.


    The meaning of those words were obvious, which was that Ling Wuji was determined to protect Lin Tian.


    While speaking, Ling Wuji said to Lin Tian, "Alright, I''ve achieved your goal. Let him go ¡­"


    Lin Tian smiled and said: "Sure!"


    At this moment, Lin Tian''s heart moved. From between his brows, a black ray of light suddenly appeared. The next moment, that black ray of light entered Yang Bufan''s forehead and disappeared.


    This movement was extremely secretive and no one saw it.


    After that, Lin Tian casually tossed Yang Bufan over to Ling Shenwu.


    At this time, Ling Shenwu took over Yang Bufan. Without thinking too much, he immediately started to check on Yang Bufan''s injuries.


    However, the result was obvious. With both of Yang Bufan''s arms crippled, he would only be a cripple in the future ¡­


    Thinking of this, Ling Shen Wu immediately couldn''t control the anger in his chest, and wanted to slap Lin Tian to death.


    However, Yang Bufan suddenly let out a groan and his body turned into the shape of a shrimp. It was evident that he was in extreme pain.


    "I advise you not to think about killing me. Otherwise, I can guarantee that before you kill me, Yang Bufan will definitely accompany me in death. In fact, you might even ¡­" Lin Tian''s cold voice made everyone who heard shudder!

 C479 You are all trash!

    For people like Lin Tian, taking revenge was not bad, but the more it was like this, the more careful Lin Tian would be. He would never give himself the chance to make any mistakes, not even making the slightest one.


    For example, just now, Lin TianAo knew that if he crippled Yang Bufan, the consequences would bring him quite a lot of trouble.


    Therefore, he did not hesitate to use the Blight Poison Talisman that he just obtained. The strength of the Blight Poison Talisman was incomparably terrifying. Just a small trace of it was enough to make Yang Bufan feel like he was suffering a fate worse than death.


    If that Ling Shen Wu really dared to make a move on Lin Tian, then Lin Tian did not have anything to say.


    Sure enough, when Ling Shen Wu heard this, although he was startled, he still stood in place obediently and didn''t move a single bit.


    Just now, when he turned around to take a look, he saw that Yang Bufan was foaming at the mouth and his four limbs were twitching. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.


    He had clearly seen Lin Tian cripple Yang Bufan''s arms, but why did he poison Yang Bufan now?


    It had to be known that he had been staring at Lin Tian the entire time.


    Of course, Ling Shen Wu didn''t think that Lin Tian had a treasure like the Plague Talisman, which could instantly poison Yang Bufan''s body, but even so, Yang Bufan did not die immediately, but instead his life, which was currently in Lin Tian''s hands. When Lin Tian wanted him to die, then he would die, of course, if Lin Tian did not want him to die, he would not die.


    Only in this way would he be able to stabilize Ling Tianwu.


    Lin Tian had heard a bit about the matter of saints. It was said that the saints of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect represented the right to run for the next Sect Master.


    Lin Tian was not very interested in this. The head of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect did not matter, he could do whatever he wanted. After all, his goal was not just the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Sooner or later, he would have to go to a wider world.


    However, there were many benefits to being a saint. However, he did not understand why Ling Wuji had taken a liking to him and wanted him to be a saint.


    After all, Lin Tian''s strength wasn''t the strongest. At least in terms of cultivation realm, it looked like this.


    Moreover, Lin Tian''s time in the sect was the shortest among all the direct disciples, so no matter how you looked at it, a saint''s position would not be his, Lin Tian''s.


    Actually, if someone told him about this matter, this matter might not be impossible to discuss, but Yang Bufan had to take the simplest and stupidest method. He actually dared to kidnap Lin Tian''s people, so if Lin Tian could bear with this matter, then that would be impossible ¡­


    Therefore, all of this was in fact caused by Yang Bufan. No one could be blamed for this.


    This matter, I think that I will definitely be able to teach him a lesson. Before making him offend someone, I should first find out who he offended ¡­


    "Little bastard, you are actually so venomous. Not only did you cripple him, you even poisoned him ¡­" At this time, Ling Shen Wu pointed at Lin Tian, his finger trembling as he shouted.


    "Old thing, I advise you not to mess with me. Otherwise, how is Yang Bufan right now and what will happen to you tomorrow!" Lin Tian was also extremely angry as he directly threatened Ling Shen Wu.


    If he crippled Yang Bufan, he would definitely offend Ling Shen Wu. This point was clear to Lin Tian.


    However, since he was a Saint who was helped up by Ling Wuji, Ling Wuji would not stand by and watch himself be threatened by Ling Shen Wu no matter what.


    He would go to the sky spirit realm after taking part in the Six Sects'' competition, so he naturally wouldn''t have to worry about this Ling Shen Wu.


    Sure enough, Ling Wuji also opened his mouth and said: "Divine Martial, I know how you feel, but for this matter, I will explain it to you later, but if you want to secretly harm Lin Tian, then don''t blame me for not recognizing you!"


    When these words came out of Ling Wuji''s mouth, not only did it sound like it was Ling Shen Wu, but even the other Peak Masters were looking at Ling Wuji in disbelief.


    They suddenly felt that this Ling Wuji had changed a lot. One must know that at any other time, Ling Wuji would not have any conflicts with the other Peak Masters. But how did this Ling Wuji become so big since Lin Tian arrived?


    Just because of this brat, he wanted to have a falling out with Ling Shen Wu!


    The others were all in disbelief. This Lin Tian, just what kind of bewitching soup did he give Ling Wuji ¡­


    Pointing at Ling Wuji, he continued to speak with a trembling voice, "Great Elder, this matter, if you do not give me a reasonable explanation, this time, no matter what, I must find Lord Sect Master to clarify this matter!"


    Lin Tian smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need for the Peak Master of the Divine Martial Realm to act like this. This poison is not fatal, of course, the condition is that you don''t provoke me. Un, there are also my people ¡­ ¡­"


    "If you provoke me, this poison will not be fatal. However, whether it will spread will be difficult to say!" Lin Tian laughed again as he spoke, as if he did not see Ling Wuji''s gloomy face ¡­


    The threat of these words was also extremely obvious. Moreover, Lin Tian had said another terrifying thing, and that was to spread ¡­ ¡­


    If this poison could spread, then it would be too terrifying. Wouldn''t that mean that if Ling Shenwu stayed with Yang Bufan for too long, the poison from Yang Bufan''s body might invade Ling Xiaozui''s body?


    If that was the case, then Ling Shen Wu would also have a bit of fear, and the other disciples would have to look at Lin Tian in fear. They also didn''t know when this Lin Tian would use poison!


    "Humph!" Ling Shen Wu let out a cold snort. With a wave of his hand, he directly swept away Yang Bufan and left in a rage.


    Ling Wuji still maintained his composure, but at this moment, he stealthily glanced at Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and then looked towards the previous core disciple together with Yang Bufan. When that disciple looked at him, he felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    But by the time he wanted to escape, it was already too late.


    Lin Tian lightly tapped his finger and a ray of black smoke drilled into the forehead of the core disciple.


    "I''ll give you fifteen minutes. Go and bring back Ji Fang, Gu Yan''er, and Du Feng. Otherwise, after fifteen minutes, your body will fester and you will die ¡­" Lin Tian''s voice indifferently sounded out.


    The core disciple had a struggling expression on his face, but he still quickly rushed outside ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Tian finally had the time to face the other direct disciples.


    Currently, the direct disciples had cold and indifferent gazes, but the majority of them looked at Lin Tian with eyes that said they couldn''t accept it ¡­


    Lin Tian lightly smiled, then he smiled at the crowd and said: "Everyone, do you not like me?"


    However, the crowd only indifferently looked at Lin Tian, but no one gave a reply ¡­


    But Lin Tian spoke again: "However, even if all of you didn''t say anything, I still know what you guys are thinking. Aren''t all of you quite unconvinced with this saint ¡­."


    Everyone was a little surprised as they raised their heads to look at Lin Tian, as if they wanted to know what the meaning of Lin Tian''s words were.


    "What? Am I wrong? All of you are definitely existences with high standards. Do you all think that I, Lin Tian, am not worthy to be a saint ¡­?" Lin Tian seemed to have understood everyone''s thoughts.


    "You guys think that your strength is tyrannical, and your cultivation base is also incomparably high. Moreover, you''ve been in the sect for longer than me, right?" Lin Tian once again said with a smile.


    "Moreover, the most important thing is that you think that no matter what, the identity of the saint will not be given to me, right?" Lin Tian continued.


    All of the direct disciples were currently looking at Lin Tian in surprise. They didn''t know why Lin Tian would suddenly say these words. What did he mean?


    But in the next moment, they understood what Lin Tian meant.


    This was because Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth: "Since you all think you''re very strong, then I, Lin Tian, will see just how strong you are today!"


    "Today, everyone present, I mean everyone, is not targeting a single person. As long as there is someone who can defeat me, Lin Tian, then I am willing to give up my position as a saint ¡­" Lin Tian looked down at everyone with an abnormal tone, which immediately piqued the interest of all the direct disciples. It was not for any other reason, it was completely because Lin Tian had said that he had the right to be a saint.


    "Do you know why I have so much confidence?" Lin Tian smiled again.


    "That''s because I believe that everyone here is trash!" Lin Tian Shi said in an earth-shattering manner, his mouth full of ridicule and disdain ¡­

 C480 Re-burst!

    When these words were spoken, the faces of all the direct disciples changed. Even the disciples that were from the same sect as Lin Tian Shi also looked at Lin Tian with some confusion and anger.


    "You all are all trash ¡­"


    This voice continuously echoed in the ears of the direct disciples.


    "Boasting shamelessly!" A disciple angrily rebuked.


    "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want after becoming a saint?" Some disciples echoed.


    "I''m sorry, I can really do whatever I want." Lin Tian did not hesitate at all as he directly smiled and said to that disciple.


    "Sure, I would like to experience your great technique!" In the next moment, he suddenly blasted out a palm, directly striking at Lin Tian. That palm was extremely powerful and heavy, it looked extremely berserk, as if he wanted to directly kill Lin Tian with one palm.


    Lin Tian did not have any intention of using any other methods to block it. Instead, he wanted to use his own body to forcibly blast towards that disciple.


    That disciple''s strength was around the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm, and was two levels stronger than Lin Tian, who was at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. However, this bit of strength, in front of Lin Tian, was probably far from enough!


    Not only that, on Lin Tian''s body, an incomparably violent energy was still wildly wreaking havoc. In the next moment, Lin Tian''s body received the full strength of that disciple''s palm. Not only that, Lin Tian''s body was lightly pushed forward, and in the next moment, an extremely terrifying thing happened.


    Lin Tian''s body actually directly rushed in front of that disciple as if he was crushing dry weeds.


    It was also at this time that Lin Tian''s palm also fiercely smashed onto that disciple''s body.


    "Kill!" Lin Tian spat out a few words, his killing intent was extremely decisive.


    In the next moment, an incomparably violent power instantly blasted towards that disciple.


    "Kacha, kacha!" At this moment, the disciple clearly heard the sound of the bones in his body starting to crack.


    In the next moment, this kind of sound was emitted from his entire body, echoing throughout the surrounding areas.


    Everyone could hear him clearly. However, they could not help but feel their hairs stand on end. How could this kid be so terrifying!


    Just how terrifying was the strength of his physical body? It was one thing for that Yang Bufan, who specialized in cultivating his physical body, to be stomped on by Lin Tian. However, because Yang Bufan had been careless, Lin Tian took the initiative.


    But now, before this disciple made his move, he already knew that Lin Tian''s physical body strength had reached a certain degree of strength, so he was naturally prepared for it. Also, you have to know that just now when he made his move, this disciple was the one who made the first move, but now, how could the situation have such a large disparity?


    They didn''t understand it, but as the disciple involved, he could understand it very clearly. If he didn''t feel it, then he had no idea how strong Lin Tian''s physical body strength was.


    But right now, he completely felt the strength of Lin Tian''s physical body, and Lin Tian''s strength had far surpassed everyone''s imagination ¡­


    "Bam!" In the next moment, with a "peng" sound, that disciple was sent flying by Lin Tian, and then his body went limp as he fell onto the ground. At this moment, his mouth was still constantly spouting large mouthfuls of fresh blood.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Everyone in the audience gasped. All of the direct disciples were shocked. They never thought that this boy was already so terrifying!


    It had to be known that the disciple that attacked was an existence at the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm. He was a full two small realms higher than Lin Tian, but even so, when facing Lin Tian, that disciple was still instantly destroyed by Lin Tian.


    Of all the direct disciples in the arena, no one dared to look down on Lin Tian anymore.


    If it was said that when he fought Yang Bufan just now, Lin Tian had been caught off guard and ultimately obtained victory.


    But this time, Lin Tian passively attacked, but the result was the same.


    One move. That disciple couldn''t even block one move from Lin Tian and was directly defeated!


    It was also at this moment that Lin Tian''s abnormally cold voice reached everyone''s ears: "You can''t even take one blow. Next!"


    Lin Tian''s voice contained an indescribable savagery and a power that looked down on the world, causing everyone to be moved upon seeing it.


    Even the Peak Masters were like this.


    Ling Wuji, on the other hand, didn''t show any surprise on his face. It was as if he had expected this would happen.


    However, following this battle, the other direct disciples, especially those who were eager to give it a try, all chose to remain silent, especially those with weaker strengths.


    But after thinking about it, it made sense. Yang Bufan was ranked in the top five in the direct disciple rankings, but in the end, wasn''t he also defeated by Lin Tian in one move?


    Moreover, they were not even in the top ranks of the direct disciples.


    In other words, the only people who could fight with Lin Tian and possibly win were the top five direct disciples. That Yang Bufan was just ranked fourth on the direct disciple ranking.


    Just as everyone was silent, one of the direct disciples in the audience suddenly said in a low voice: "Junior brother Lin has an unparalleled physique, you could even be called the strongest person in the entire Holy Sect. This brother truly admires you, but this brother would like to ask junior brother Lin if junior brother Lin only has this kind of method to deal with enemies. "If Junior-apprentice Brother Lin only has this sort of method, then I naturally wouldn''t dare to oppose you. I approve of your role as a saint!"


    Although these words were said in a reserved manner, anyone could hear the disdain in that disciple''s voice.


    In fact, using the power of the fleshly body to defeat them was nothing.


    This was because on the path of martial arts, purely physical body cultivation was not the right path. The true path and the great Dao depended on the difference between the strength of one''s Yuan power and one''s cultivation realm.


    By relying on the power of the fleshly body, he could at most become a saint with his flesh body.


    However, this was already the limit of his physical body. Without the support of his cultivation base and his comprehension of the Great Dao, no matter how strong his physical body was, it would only be an insignificant matter.


    That was why disciple had this question. Honestly speaking, that disciple''s true intention was to ridicule Lin Tian. Other than the strength of his physical body, there was no other length to that question.


    How could Lin Tian not understand the meaning behind his words. He lightly smiled and then said to the disciple: "To be a saint, if you only have this little ability, I''m afraid that you trash will laugh at me until your deaths. However, don''t worry, I have many methods. "But that depends on whether or not you have the ability to make this saint use other methods ¡­"


    "Of course, if you think I''m too strong, I can promise you that I won''t use the power of my fleshly body, but so what if I don''t use the power of my fleshly body? Even if I rely on other methods, you''re still not my match!" Lin Tian continued to speak, but this time, the ridicule in his tone was even more intense!

 C481 Qingyun step

    Lin Tian''s words completely enraged all of the direct disciples present.


    Think about it, all of these direct disciples, which one of them wasn''t an existence with high standards? Which one of them wasn''t a monstrous genius among the tens of thousands?


    It was Lin Tian''s turn to mock them? Furthermore, he called himself trash. Did he really think that he was some sort of character?


    At this moment, even the other disciples of Ling Wuji, who were also Lin Tian''s seniors, had a slightly ugly expression. Lin Tian was teasing them in groups and there was no difference in treatment. Didn''t this also scold them?


    If even their blood senior brother couldn''t bear it, then what about the other disciples? They couldn''t bear it any longer.


    All of them were filled with righteous indignation, to the point of almost being unable to hold back the impulse in their hearts, and charged forward to beat up Lin Tian Bao.


    However, after thinking for a bit, he suppressed the impulse in his heart. The previous example of Yang Bufan and that disciple was right in front of him. They didn''t want to walk onstage, but they were lying down!


    The disciple who mocked Lin Tian for having no other methods earlier also had a face full of anger.


    His name was Bu Qingyun and he was also from the Divine Martial Peak. He was also a disciple of the Divine Martial Realm.


    Actually, he had already been holding back his anger earlier, especially after Lin Tian had directly destroyed Yang Bufan and mocked his master, Ling Shenwu. Bu Qingyun was somewhat unable to endure the impulse in his heart and directly rushed into the arena.


    And at this time, after hearing Lin Tian''s mocking words, Bu Qingyun could no longer endure it. The gaze he looked at Lin Tian with seemed to be about to ignite flames. He wished he could directly kill Lin Tian!


    As he said this, Bu Qingyun was already walking towards the arena, but he still had to be respectful, especially when Lin Tian was still a Saint. Bu Qingyun slightly cupped his fists, and then sneered: "Is that so? It seems like junior brother Lin is confident in his own strength."


    Actually, this Bu Qingyun was a thief. When he was speaking just now, he had actually said "other methods" to Lin Tian.


    The meaning of these words were self-evident, which was that he did not want Lin Tian to use the power of his fleshly body.


    As for the reason, it was clear. If Lin Tian used the power of his fleshly body, to be honest, no direct disciple present would be a match for Lin Tian.


    Before this, among the direct disciples, the one with the strongest physical body was none other than Yang Bufan.


    However, they clearly saw what the result of Yang Bufan fighting against Lin Tian was.


    Even Yang Bufan was defeated by Lin Tian in one move. From this, it could be inferred that Lin Tian''s physical body strength was almost a hundred times stronger than Yang Bufan''s.


    If Bu Qingyun did not say that he had other methods, then if he really wanted to go against Lin Tian''s physical strength, he would absolutely not be Lin Tian''s opponent.


    So, Bu Qingyun ingeniously ridiculed Lin Tian for not having any other methods and forced Lin Tian to say that he still had other methods and also promised to give up on using the power of his physical body. That was why Bu Qingyun dared to take action and challenge Lin Tian.


    In reality, Bu Qingyun was not weak at all. After all, he was an existence at the fourth level of the Nascent Profound Realm. He was only a hair away from the Creation stage.


    The Manifestation stage is also known as the King''s Realm.


    This meant that those who had reached the Manifestation stage could be considered as "kings".


    Bu Qingyun was ranked fifth and Yang Bufan was ranked fourth on the ranking list of direct disciples. As for the three pro-disciples in the top three, they were all disciples of Ling Wuji.


    After all, Ling Wuji was an existence at the first level of the Emperor Profound Realm. Naturally, the disciple he was able to teach was also incomparably powerful.


    Furthermore, the three direct disciples were all above the Manifestation stage.


    But thinking about it, Lin Tian and them were all martial brothers and also a master. Then, those three disciples would very likely not challenge Lin Tian.


    So at that moment, the only person who could challenge Lin Tian was him, Qing Yun.


    In order to save face for his master, as well as to try out the saints'' position, Bu Qingyun would stand up for himself no matter what.


    Fortunately, he had planned everything beforehand and now he was even forcing Lin Tian to not use the power of his own physical body. With regards to Bu Qingyun, this battle could already be said to be 90% certain.


    At the same time, Ling Wuji slightly frowned. He naturally understood the meaning of Bu Qingyun, but if Lin Tian gave up using the power of his fleshly body, would he still have such powerful strength?


    Ling Wuji also had some doubts in his heart, but since Lin Tian had already said those words, it was too late for him to go back on his words.


    But when Ling Wuji looked at Lin Tian, he discovered that Lin Tian was only smiling slightly. He then looked towards Bu Qingyun and said: "I didn''t think that trash like you would actually know how to use your brain and actually force me to not use my strongest physical body strength with just a few words. You''re not bad."


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head. Surprisingly, there was even a hint of approval in his tone.


    After all, Bu Qingyun and Lin Tian were enemies, yet Bu Qingyun could force him to not use the power of his physical body with just a few words. Although he did use a bit of those methods, it was enough to prove that Bu Qingyun was meticulous.


    However, Lin Tian''s praise caused the direct disciples in the arena to be greatly surprised.


    "Hmm?" However, Bu Qingyun, at this moment, was looking at Lin Tian in surprise.


    Why does he still look so confident? Unless he had a strong physical body, his strength would far exceed that of an ordinary person.


    When Bu Qingyun heard Lin Tian''s praise, he didn''t feel happy at all. On the contrary, he was deeply worried.


    There were only two possibilities for someone who could say such words. The first one was to forcefully hold on and not lose face. The other one was that he was very strong and didn''t fear the challenge from Bu Qingyun.


    If it was the former possibility, then it was fine. But if it was the latter possibility, then this Lin Tian was a bit too terrifying.


    This proved that this kid didn''t have any weaknesses. Whether it was his physical body, strength, or cultivation level, he was one in a million existence.


    However, Bu Qingyun did not really believe in the second possibility. One had to know, how could there be so many geniuses in this world?


    With this thought in mind, Bu Qingyun did not waste any words. Instead, he faced Lin Tian and said: "Junior brother Lin." Since that''s the case, then brother won''t waste any more words. Let''s begin. "


    After he said this, Bu Qingyun suddenly took out a longsword from his waist.


    With a "peng" sound, the sword was unsheathed. Immediately, the entire platform was surrounded by a huge amount of Sword Qi.


    The sword sparkled, and the waves glittered. However, within the sword aura, there was a strong killing intent. It was extremely terrifying, and it seemed to cause the breathing of everyone on the stage to become hurried!

 C482 Lin tians perception

    In the next moment, the longsword in Bu Qingyun''s hand was like a spiritual snake leaving its lair. It waved out a dense sword shadow. Overlapping and crisscrossing, it charged towards Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian softly exclaimed, he did not expect Bu Qingyun to be a sword cultivator?


    Judging from Bu Qingyun''s swordsmanship, it was obviously at the level of mastery!


    This was the first time Lin Tian had encountered a sword cultivator that could cultivate sword skills to mastery!


    But being surprised was being surprised, Lin Tian did not hesitate at all. A green light flashed in his hand and a long spear appeared in Lin Tian''s hand. It was the Dragon Scale Spear!


    Ever since Sky Dragon City, the Dragon Scale Spear had accompanied Lin Tian, killing who knows how many enemies he had along the way. Furthermore, after being remoulded and forged by the Celestial Mouse, the Dragon Scale Spear''s power had increased by who knows how many times, so Lin Tian wasn''t too worried about Bu Qingyun, the sword cultivator.


    Thinking about this, Lin Tian did not make a move. Instead, he carefully observed Bu Qingyun''s sword technique.


    The sword was the king of a hundred weapons. Learning the Sword Arts of Treading the Clear Sky Peak might be of great help to Lin Tian''s mastery of the spear later on.


    It was obvious that Bu Yunyun had already comprehended the existence of sword intent. In his hands, that longsword seemed to have life, extremely agile.


    Of course, the sword technique was a killing technique. Lin Tian was not standing still as he watched from the spot. He was constantly using his God Transforming Steps and constantly moving back and forth, constantly dodging the attack of the long sword.


    "What, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, are you afraid because of your swordsmanship? Are you afraid of not fighting?" The corner of his mouth immediately raised into a smile, which was very obvious. Clearly, Lin Tian had been scared silly by his sword technique, moreover, Lin Tian was not like how he imagined, with no weaknesses, and was a one in a million genius.


    His other abilities were very weak. Other than physical strength, he didn''t have any other methods. The reason he said he had other methods was only for the sake of face.


    "Interesting!" How could Lin Tian know Bu Qingyun''s thoughts right now. If he knew, Lin Tian would probably laugh his teeth off. He was obviously researching Bu Qingyun''s sword technique.


    Lin Tian had only learned one spear art of the Dragon Scale Spear, and that was the incomparably terrifying Dragon''s Tomb.


    Actually, Lin Tian could have used the Heavenly Dragon Tomb to defeat Bu Qingyun, but that way, he wouldn''t have been able to see Bu Qingyun''s sword technique.


    Actually, before this, Lin Tian had never seen a real soldier. The so-called soldier was a weapon martial cultivator. For example, a blade cultivator, sword cultivator, spear cultivator, and so on.


    In the Tian Luo Kingdom, Lin Tian was the only soldier cultivator.


    It had to be known that a soldier and the use of weapons in battle were two completely different concepts.


    Any martial artist could use weapons in battle, but that would mean competing in strength and not being able to see anything else.


    Military cultivators were different. In their entire lives, they would only cultivate one type of weapon.


    Bu Yunyun was a rare and precious sword cultivator. In the Tian Luo Kingdom, this kind of existence did not exist at all.


    This was also the reason why Lin Tian didn''t attack and carefully observed first.


    Because Lin Tian had never met one before, he wanted to see what kind of existence the so-called soldier cultivator was.


    To ordinary people, Lin Tian could be considered a soldier, but it was the first time he saw someone as pure as Bu Qingyun.


    Furthermore, by constantly dodging, he could raise Lin Tian''s vigilance. His God Transforming Steps had already been cultivated to a superb level by Lin Tian and could almost be used at will. It could be said that as long as Lin Tian was willing, this Bu Qingyun would not be able to touch his body for the rest of his life.


    "Do you only know how to dodge?" Bu Qingyun shouted angrily.


    Lin Tian continuously dodged. His hand was clearly holding a spear, yet he did not retaliate. This made Bu Qingyun very angry. Was he looking down on him, Bu Qingyun?


    Lin Tian shook his head slightly. He didn''t mind and continued to carefully observe Bu Qingyun''s sword technique.


    He seemed to have suddenly understood something just now, but when he thought about it carefully, that thoughtful feeling had suddenly disappeared.


    He did not know that his current state was one that could only be met by luck and not sought for by soldiers, and that was sudden enlightenment.


    Once it was comprehended, there would be a qualitative change.


    Lin Tian looked at Bu Qingyun''s sword technique and the more he looked, the more he became enthralled. In the end, Lin Tian had already reached the point of completely forgetting himself and he couldn''t help but wave the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand.


    He executed every single move from the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb that he had learned before.


    One move, annihilation. Lin Tian lightly shook the long spear. At this moment, he sealed off all of his strength completely by relying on his own strength and unadorned using the spear.


    Of course, this shot had no power.


    Two forms of afterimages.


    In the move, the most powerful thing was that it could create over a hundred spear shadows in an instant with terrifying might.


    But at this moment, the afterimages began to become clumsy in Lin Tian''s hands.


    Lin TianAo focused his mind. Suddenly, the long spear trembled slightly. In the next moment, the spear waved out a thousand spear shadows. The spear shadows had endless strength and spear power, while the spear shadows did not!


    Three Slaughterers.


    The first stance of the Slaughterer technique was actually a stance that was completely fused with the Heart Devouring stance. It focused on the attacks of the soul.


    The power of the spear could pierce through the soul.


    Four moves, Heart Devouring!


    Lin Tian was still continuing and at this time, the disciples below the stage were already completely shocked. What was this kid doing?


    None of them knew what Lin Tian was doing.


    Currently, Lin Tian was brandishing his long spear. Moreover, Lin Tian''s movements seemed incomparably clumsy. Moreover, it matched Lin Tian''s footsteps and looked even stranger.


    The inner disciples, outer disciples, core disciples, and even the majority of the direct disciples all looked at Lin Tian with doubt. Of course, the one that they were even more suspicious of was Bu Qingyun.


    Wasn''t Bu Qingyun very unreasonable in front of the stage? How did he become like this? Fight with him!


    Bu Qingyun''s every sword seemed to be filled with killing intent, but in front of Lin Tian, Lin Tian clumsily brandished his spear. Accompanying his steps, his body retreated, and his long spear bounced off Bu Qingyun''s long sword!


    "This ¡­" He was just fine a moment ago, but why did it suddenly become so strange now? At the start, he was fine but he was only dodging. Later on, he finally made a move, but Bu Qingyun was shocked to discover that every flaw in his moves seemed to have been caught by Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian''s spear did not have the slightest bit of strength, but it broke Bu Qingyun''s sword technique so Bu Qingyun could not hurt him at all!


    As a result, the more Bu Yunyun fought, the more shocked he became. The more he fought, the more incredulous he became.


    Then, Bu Qingyun was scared.

 C483 Fight li wuhuan

    But at this time, Lin Tian was completely immersed within that mental state. That feeling had triggered all of the insights Lin Tian had towards the dragon scale spear.


    Each and every move was filled with a terrifying power.


    But at the same time, the faces of the peak masters below the stage were slightly serious.


    Including Ling Wuji, they were all at the ninth level of the Manifestation stage, or even the Emperor Stage.


    So, they naturally understood even more clearly just how terrifying the moves that Lin Tian displayed were.


    This was because Lin Tian''s every move seemed to contain a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao!


    This was the prelude to sudden enlightenment!


    Finally, after who knows how long, Lin Tian''s eyes became clear again.


    He was already in the midst of comprehending it, so he came back to reality.


    "Destruction!" Lin Tian raised his spear and directly sent the long sword in Bu Qingyun''s hand flying. Not only that, the tip of his spear also arrived in front of Bu Qingyun''s throat with an unbelievable speed.


    "You lost!" Lin Tian''s voice was light, but it carried an indescribable sense of relaxation.


    The light on the Dragon Scale Spear shone brightly as it let out a low hum, as if it was extremely joyful.


    This was the fifth form of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, Destruction!


    Heavenly Dragon Tomb was originally an incomplete martial art. However, with the help of the Ancient Dragon Talisman, he was able to completely fill out the four later forms.


    This was a martial art created by a supreme elder in ancient times. It was the technique of dragon slaying.


    They were divided into seven forms. They were: Destruction, Afterimage, God Slaughtering, Heart Killing, Destruction, Void, and Dragon Slayer!


    Up until now, Lin Tian had only comprehended the fifth move, Faded, but this level of power was not something that an ordinary person could compare with.


    Just now, it was Lin Tian who used the first style of the Termination. He directly sent Bu Qingyun''s long sword flying and defeated him in one go.


    However, at this moment, Bu Qingyun''s face was extremely pale. He stared blankly at the spear tip that was only an inch away from his throat. He could not help but mutter to himself as he asked Lin Tian: "What, what method are you using?"


    "What methods?" Lin Tian faintly smiled, then his gaze lightly swept over Bu Qingyun and smilingly said: "The method to kill!"


    Saying that, Lin Tian''s spear tip stabbed forward another half an inch before he asked again: "Let me ask you, do you accept me being a saint or not?"


    The chilliness brought about by the spear caused Bu Qingyun to immediately feel chills all over his body. He stammered, "I ¡­ "I submit, I submit ¡­"


    Only then did Lin Tian smile and nod his head. He then directly put the Dragon Scale Spear away and said: "Senior Bu is a smart person."


    Then, he turned around to face the others and asked, "Everyone, is there anyone who is unconvinced? Please come up on stage and fight!"


    Lin Tian had just used Bu Qingyun''s sword technique and completely grasped the power of the concept that only a soldier could comprehend.


    The so-called concept was not able to directly increase a person''s strength, but was instead able to control one''s weapon with greater agility.


    Amongst sword techniques, the concept of one being one with the sword was sufficient to unleash a hundred percent of the sword and sword''s might.


    Lin Tian had yet to reach the realm of ''one with the spear'', but right now he was much stronger than before. He could fully display 100% of the Dragon Scale Spear''s power!


    The other direct disciples might not have been able to see it, but Ling Wuji''s disciples were able to see it clearly. They were all Manifestation stage practitioners and they could see that Lin Tian was not ordinary.


    "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin has comprehended the Concept''s power, this is truly a joyous event. Master has actually taken a qilin!" The one who spoke was Ling Wuji''s head disciple, and he was the number one direct disciple.


    The disciple''s name was Li Wu Huan, and he was currently smiling at Lin Tian.


    "Senior Brother Li, do you want to come up and give it a try?" Lin Tian looked towards Li Wuhuan.


    "It''s fine to try." Li Wu Huan chuckled and walked up the stage.


    At this moment, Bu Qingyun was looking at Lin Tian with a pale face. However, Li Wu Huan''s expression did not look good. Instead, she mocked: "What is Junior Bu standing there for? Isn''t it time to go down?"


    Bu Qingyun''s expression became uglier and uglier as he looked at Lin Tian, but in the end, he still obediently went down.


    However, he did not stay any longer and quickly rushed out.


    Presumably, he had returned to the Divine Martial Peak. If Lin Tian and the others hadn''t guessed wrongly, Bu Qingyun should have gone to report to Ling Shenwu and Yang Bufan.


    However, Lin Tian did not care. In this period, he was a saint and whoever dared to harm him, Lin Tian definitely believed that Ling Wuji would help him.


    So what if Ling Shenwu was the Peak Master of the Divine Martial Peak?


    At the same time, Lin Tian did not waste any words. He directly raised the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand, then smiled and said: "Senior brother Li, please!"


    Li Wu Huan smiled slightly and said: "Brat, you misunderstood me. You and I have only talked so much, and when I saw that you had comprehended the power of conception, I couldn''t help but feel itchy. Regarding your position as a saint, I definitely don''t have any thoughts about it ¡­"


    Li Wu Huan hurriedly explained, afraid that Lin Tian would misunderstand.


    The fact that Lin Tian was a saint was entirely due to his master''s wishes. Naturally, he could not disobey his master.


    After all, Ling Wuji had been trying so hard to help the Lingxiao Sacred Sect for so many years, so he couldn''t just casually make a disciple become a saint. That was not a joke!


    As Ling Wuji''s eldest disciple, what did he look like when he fought with his youngest junior for the position of saint?


    If word of this got out to the other sects, wouldn''t they be mocked by others?


    That was why he hurriedly explained.


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head, not to mention anything else, just based on Li Wu Huan''s words, he had a much higher opinion of Li Wu Huan and Ling Wuji''s other disciples.


    And only these people, were truly considered for the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    With that, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and indifferently smiled: "Since it''s like that, then I won''t waste time. Eldest senior brother, after you!"


    "Let''s just say that you can''t use the strength of your fleshly body!" Li Wu Huan smiled slightly and activated all the strength on her body. After which, she laughed out loud: "Little Junior Brother, you have to watch and see what happens next!" Saying that, Li Wuhuan had already gently pushed out with her palm, giving off a feeling of elegance.


    The strength of this palm seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, but after knowing Li Wu Huan''s identity, Lin Tian naturally knew that Li Wu Huan''s strength could not be underestimated, so he naturally did not dare to be so careless. Raising the Dragon Scale Spear, he fiercely swept the long spear, and a huge force instantly swept towards Li Wu Huan.


    This spear strike was impressively the fifth move of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb. It was also the strongest move that Lin Tian could use so far ¡ª ¡ª Annihilation!


    At this moment, a black light was emitted from the top of the dragon scale spear. With a decaying aura, it pierced towards Li Wuhuan.


    Li Wu Huan''s palm also completely collided with Lin Tian''s spear. Bang!


    "Buzz buzz buzz!" The instant the spear and palm collided, a low explosive sound of air exploding was heard. The buzzing sound was extremely terrifying.


    And it was also at this time that Lin Tian pierced towards that palm. From that palm, terrifying ripples and patterns were emitted, blocking Lin Tian''s spear.


    Not only that, that palm was even constantly advancing and quickly rushed in front of Lin Tian.


    If the spear did not succeed, Lin Tian''s palm slightly shook. Then, he once again thrust out his spear and once again stabbed at that palm.


    It was still the Terminator Spear.


    "Junior brother Lin, if you only use one move, I''m afraid you won''t be able to withstand my palm strike ¡­" Li Wu Huan''s mouth revealed a smile, and then she spoke to Lin Tian.

 C484 Li wuhuans strength

    As a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Manifestation stage, this palm from Li Wuhuan was his strongest attack. Within his simplicity, it even contained a trace of the power of his domain.


    Above the Manifestation stage was the Emperor Stage. The main purpose of an Emperor Stage powerhouse was to comprehend the power of their domain.


    When he attacked, the power of his domain was enough to quickly envelop the opponent under his domain, greatly affecting the opponent''s strength.


    At this moment, Li Wu Huan had already started to comprehend a trace of the domain''s power. This palm also carried such power, so Lin Tian was almost unable to rely on his own strength to break it!


    But Lin Tian was not discouraged. He simply gave up resisting the palm and displayed the sixth move of the Sky Dragon Tomb.


    Void!


    The power of nothingness was the power of laws brought about by the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb. If it could be used successfully, it could almost destroy all of one''s powers.


    This was also the terror of the Dragon''s Tomb.


    Lin Tian''s spear shook and a cyan light bloomed. Then, in the midst of the huge cyan light, a long cyan dragon drilled out. The huge long dragon, in an instant, charged completely towards Li Wuhuan.


    However, Lin Tian completely gave up on resisting Li Wu Huan''s palm strike. Instead, he prepared to use his physical strength to completely block Li Wu Huan''s attack.


    Li Wu Huan felt Lin Tian''s change in move, and her face immediately changed. This brat, didn''t we just say that the match would end like this?


    Li Wu Huan didn''t know about Lin Tian before, so she naturally didn''t know how Lin Tian had walked step by step to reach where he was today.


    If he knew about Lin Tian''s journey, he would likely understand why Lin Tian was like this.


    This was because on the road here, almost every time Lin Tian fought, he would use his life as an opportunity. This kind of fighting style was only Lin Tian''s instinct.


    However, although he was surprised, Li Wu Huan still subconsciously counterattacked.


    After all, if Lin Tian did not counterattack with this spear, either he would die, or he would be heavily injured.


    Li Wu Huan made her move immediately. Her fingers were white and flawless as she stretched them out towards the Dragon Scale Spear.


    Facing Li Wu Huan''s counterattack, Lin Tian found it hard to believe. This Li Wu Huan was much stronger than what he had imagined.


    The green dragon emitted a wave of rotting force. This force could instantly corrode everything and was extremely terrifying.


    However, Li Wu Huan didn''t seem to care about it at all. His two big hands directly grabbed the head of the green dragon.


    "Bam!" But at the same time, Lin Tian''s body also forcibly received Li Wu Huan''s palm.


    Even though Lin Tian''s physical strength was incomparably strong, after receiving this palm, Lin Tian was still unable to completely stabilize his body. Instead, he took a few steps back to stabilize his body, but even so, the aftereffects of the palm power still hadn''t disappeared, and Lin Tian could still feel the Blood Qi around his body constantly churning. Lin Tian had no choice but to open his dantian''s whirlpool.


    On the other hand, with Li Wu Huan''s hands, he had surprisingly captured the head of the green dragon. As the head of the dragon was captured, the green dragon instantly turned back into the Dragon Scale Spear, and at this moment, Li Wu Huan was tightly grasping the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear ¡­


    Lin Tian was shocked. This was the first time that Lin Tian had felt that he was at a loss for what to do!


    This was the first time someone had directly held his Dragon Scale Spear, and after comprehending the power of the Concept, an extremely close relationship had been established between Lin Tian and the Dragon Scale Spear. At this moment, he could feel that the Dragon Scale Spear really wanted to break free from Li Wuhuan''s control, but Li Wuhuan''s strength was too strong, directly locking down the Dragon Scale Spear.


    However, Li Wu Huan naturally had to pay the price for his actions.


    At this moment, an endless corrosive force came from the dragon scale spear. The huge force quickly corroded Li Wuhuan''s white hands into a black color.


    Li Wu Huan remained unmoved as she circulated her boundless Yuan Power to quickly expel the power of decay from her body.


    At the same time, Li Wu Huan gently gripped onto the tip of the Dragon Scale Spear and said with a smile: "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, I''m afraid that this little strength is not enough!"


    Saying that, Li Wu Huan fiercely pulled, and the dragon scale spear flew out of Lin Tian''s control, landing in Li Wu Huan''s hands.


    Enormous and majestic elemental energy unceasingly gushed out from Li Wuhuan''s body, exerting an immense pressure on the dragon scale spear. It was so powerful that the dragon scale spear could not move at all.


    Lin Tian''s expression became even more serious. He had underestimated the strength of this person. No wonder he was able to become the head disciple of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    His strength was not to be underestimated.


    But if he gave up just like that, then he wouldn''t be Lin Tian.


    It had been a long time since he had used his own mental force against an enemy, but at this time, this Li Wu Huan was simply too strange. Even if Lin Tian had any tricks he could use, he could only use them all.


    "Divine Punisher Shuttle!" Lin Tian suddenly roared out. One after another, transparent Spirit Power spikes shot out like arrows. Right now, they were like a rain of arrows as they all fell down and exploded towards Li Wu Huan.


    Li Wu Huan''s face was filled with surprise, "You''re also a Symbol Master?"


    As she spoke, the rain of Spiritual Energy descended crazily. Li Wuhuan had no choice but to deal with it with caution.


    He could feel that Lin Tian was not only a Symbol Master, but from the looks of it, he should also be an existence with extremely strong strength.


    But at this time, Lin Tian also fiercely roared out in a low voice: "Nothingness!"


    In the next moment, a change suddenly occurred. The green dragon that was the shape of the dragon scale spear actually got rid of Li Wu Huan''s control, and not only that, just as Li Wu Huan was about to intervene to block the dragon scale spear, the tip of the dragon scale spear actually instantly pierced through Li Wu Huan''s palm. A fine line of blood immediately appeared on Li Wu Huan''s palm.


    In the next moment, the boundless Spirit Power spikes arrived in front of Li Wuhuan.


    Li Wu Huan ignored him, and it was almost impossible for her to snatch the dragon scale spear back.


    He could only sigh lightly. An enormous domain energy firmly wrapped around him. The Mental Energy spikes had completely disappeared and completely disappeared before the domain power.


    At this time, the Dragon Scale Spear had already returned in front of Lin Tian. Just as Lin Tian was about to continue, Li Wu Huan''s voice quietly sounded out: "Junior brother Lin, stop. Can brother admit defeat now?"


    Li Wu Huan''s voice had a bitter smile on it, he lowered his head to look at the red wound on his palm, then shook his head: "All these years, you are the only one that can injure me, not bad, it seems like you are worthy of being this saint. Of course, saint is not the starting point, you must know, our Ling Xiao Saint Sect is not the only sect in the Western Spirit Region."


    But this time, you can compete with those monsters, many of them are horny animals, and in previous years, I would have fought three at most. Now that you have come, with us brothers working together, along with junior brother Wang and junior brother Zhang, the four of us should be able to fight against ten of them ¡­ "


    Li Wu Huan smiled indifferently. However, Lin Tian cupped his fists and said: "It was a good fight."


    Li Wu Huan really didn''t use all her strength. One must know that she had only been able to rub her hands in time when she had hit him.


    Other than that, if Li Wu Huan used her full strength to fight him, Lin Tian would not necessarily be his match if he were to speak the truth.


    Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, Li Wu Huan opened her mouth first: "Fellow disciples, I advise you all to stop having any other thoughts. Believe me, none of you are his opponent. Just wait patiently for the results."


    These words were obviously meant for the direct disciples.


    Lin Tian was a little moved in his heart. This Li Wu Huan, she was not bad.


    Just as he was thinking this, a voice that he hadn''t heard for a long time suddenly came from not too far away, "Lin Kuang, for you, we have all suffered. I don''t care, just make it up to us ¡­"

 C485 Apprenticeship

    "You want me to compensate you?" Lin Tian turned around and saw the four people who had arrived. They were none other than Ji Fangge and the other three who had been kidnapped by Yang Bufan. The one who had spoken was none other than Fang Xing.


    "I should be the one asking for compensation. If it wasn''t because your strength is too weak and you kept dragging me down, would I have sacrificed my precious time to come out and help you?" Lin Tian unhappily glanced at the four of them, but luckily, it seemed like Yang Bufan didn''t dare to make things difficult for the four of them.


    If Yang Bufan really dared to make things difficult for them, Lin Tian wouldn''t mind detonating the plague poison on Yang Bufan''s body right now.


    This was a cultivation maniac, he was actually willing to sacrifice his cultivation time for them. Moreover, he had heard on the way here that Lin Tian had destroyed Yang Bufan with a single move, even offending the Peak Master of the Godly Martial Peak.


    This moved them a little.


    These people were quite talented. The moment Li Wu Huan saw these few people, she could sense their talents.


    The Heaven''s Spirit Body had a huge difference from an ordinary person''s body. One could almost tell the difference in an instant.


    After looking at the four of them for a moment, Li Wu Huan finally landed on Du Feng, who was at the back of the group.


    "I didn''t expect that he would possess such a physique!" Li Wu Huan''s voice suddenly trembled from the excitement.


    With a stride, he instantly appeared in front of Du Feng.


    Without waiting for Du Feng to say anything, Li Wu Huan grabbed onto Du Feng''s hands and after inspecting them for a while, she shook her head and said with a face full of lament: "Truly a waste of heaven''s treasure, a waste of heaven''s treasure. The physique of the Heavenly Dao is actually so weak, and the cultivation technique she cultivates is completely wrong!


    Lin Tian also noticed that something was wrong with Li Wu Huan. He immediately came in front of Li Wu Huan and asked: "Senior brother Li, what''s wrong?"


    "Your friend here possesses the Heaven''s Path Body. Do you know about it?" Li Wu Huan stared at Lin Tian.


    "Of course." Lin Tian nodded.


    "Does he have a master?" Li Wu Huan asked again.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, he did not know what Li Wuhuan meant by this, but he still replied: "Other than the master at the Azure Continent Academy and the Cloudsoaring sect, Du Feng doesn''t have any other master."


    Du Feng was a country disciple and he started his cultivation very late, but because of his Heavenly Dao Body, he still quickly caught up to the cultivation speed of the others.


    However, the Body of Heaven''s Path was an extremely weak physique, and almost no one cared about it. Moreover, Lin Tian had once read an ancient book, and on top of that, there was very little introduction to this kind of physique ¡­


    This was also why Du Feng had to rely on himself to cultivate all the way. Moreover, among Lin Tian''s group of five, Du Feng was clearly unable to keep up with everyone''s tempo.


    "Hmph. What a waste." Li Wu Huan snorted coldly. She was obviously a little angry. This heavenly body, unexpectedly no one treated it as a treasure, then what physique could she possibly have!


    Li Wu Huan turned to Lin Tian, "Junior brother Lin, what do you think of my strength?"


    Lin Tian was startled, he did not expect Li Wu Huan to ask this question to him, but he still told him the truth: "Senior brother Li is obviously the strongest within the disciples of the Ling Xiao Saint Sect, in fact, if you were to use your full strength, I am not your opponent!"


    Li Wu Huan nodded her head lightly, but pointed at Du Feng. Then, she said in an earth-shattering manner: "But, he, if he is able to develop 80% of the power of the Heavenly Dao Body, once he reaches my level, he can kill me in one move. Do you believe that?"


    "What?"


    "How is this possible?"


    At this moment, not only was Lin Tian shocked, even Ji Fangge, Fang Xing, and Gu Yan''er were also shocked. They understood what Li Wuhuan meant, he meant that if Du Feng could fully unleash the power of his physique, no one would be a match for Du Feng!


    Hearing this, even Du Feng himself didn''t quite believe it. Normally, his cultivation speed was not comparable to Lin Tian, the Berserk Demon, or even Fang Xing.


    Even though they were both Celestial Bodies, Du Feng still felt that the reason he had such a body was because the difference was too great!


    But what did Li Wu Huan mean by that?


    That he was actually very strong?


    Li Wu Huan nodded slightly: "Your training method was completely wrong. I think that you must have figured it out yourself."


    Li Wu Huan seemed to have seen through Du Feng''s thoughts and directly said.


    "I have the body of the Great Dao, the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao. Although there is only a difference of one word, the difference is the distance between the sky and the earth!" Li Wu Huan said excitedly: "The Great Dao is the human path, but the heavenly dao is the path of the heavens. The gap between the Great Dao and the heavenly dao, it goes without saying that I possess the physique of the Great Dao, but I am still able to cultivate to such a degree, let alone a physique of the heavenly dao!"


    Only now did he realize, when Li Wu Huan was fighting with him, no wonder when he was facing Li Wu Huan, he felt that although his moves were simple and simple, yet they contained the aura of a great Dao, which was why they were so terrifying.


    He never expected that this Li Wuhuan would possess the body of the Great Dao. No wonder he was only at the fifth level of the Manifestation Realm. He was able to comprehend a trace of the power of the domain.


    If that was the case, then Du Feng''s potential was greater than Li Wuhuan''s.


    One was just a great dao pursued by humans, but the other was a heavenly body born with. What kind of concept was that? That represented the way of the heavens.


    The power of the Heavenly Dao!


    Li Wu Huan was extremely excited. Without much time to think, she turned to Du Feng and said, "Brother, are you willing to come under my tutelage?"


    Seeing that Du Feng was a little confused, Li Wu Huan immediately explained: "My sect, it''s not that you want to take me as your master, I mean, I want to take you in as my disciple and accept you as our disciple. You and I will call each other Brother!"


    Li Wu Huan was Ling Wuji''s disciple, taking in a disciple as his master? [Isn''t Ling Wuji staying here?]


    I''m talking about my previous master, my master. My master specifically studied the Great Dao Land, Ksitigarbha body, and Heavenly Dao body, and also found the corresponding cultivation method. If little brother Du Feng were to become my master''s disciple, he would be able to cultivate the cultivation method against the Heavenly Dao body, and at that time, his cultivation speed would naturally be a thousand miles per day. "


    Only then did Lin Tian come back to his senses and he nodded his head. However, he still said: "Of course, in my opinion, this is a very good thing. However, the final decision will still be decided by Du Feng himself!"


    "Of course." Li Wu Huan looked at Du Feng with a sincere face, then asked, "Little Brother Du Feng, are you willing?"


    Everyone''s gazes immediately concentrated on Du Feng.

 C486 Lin tians demon claw!

    "I..." Du Feng was about to say something when he suddenly hesitated and looked towards Lin Tian, Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er and Fang Xing.


    However, all four of them, without exception, were looking at Du Feng with excitement. It was obvious that they wanted Du Feng to agree to Li Wu Huan''s request.


    This was truly an opportunity.


    They had thought that the Heavenly Dao Body was just a weak physique, so it was useless. However, they hadn''t expected that Li Wuhuan would be able to rely on his physique to cultivate to such an extent. It was simply inconceivable.


    So, Lin Tian naturally wished for Du Feng to grow as fast as possible.


    His friends weren''t many, but Du Feng and the others were definitely considered true friends.


    Lin Tian naturally wished for him to become better and better.


    "I promise!" Seeing Lin Tian''s hopeful eyes, Du Feng agreed without hesitation.


    "I don''t want to be a burden to all of you, but now that there''s an opportunity, I naturally have to take it. Wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back, and then I''ll torture you all!" Du Feng''s face revealed a smile as he looked towards Lin Tian.


    "Enough, I''ll wait for you to come back and abuse me!" Lin Tian''s face was full of smiles. This was an unexpected gain.


    If Du Feng was really able to develop a strong physique and quickly grow, it would definitely be a great thing for Lin Tian!


    Ever since Lin Tian had personally seen the Horned Demon self-destruct and wanted to protect his life, Lin Tian had known that the pressure on his body was an extremely important responsibility.


    So, Lin Tian needed a lot of helpers that could help him. At the very least, while he was fighting, he wouldn''t be that lonely!


    These people would be Lin Tian''s first group. They would follow him and face the terrifying demons of the future!


    Right, you also have a second senior brother, I am the oldest. And that second senior brother of yours, also known as the Earth Concealment Body, represents the path of the Earth. This time, Master has already gathered all three of the Heaven, Earth, and Earth Spiritual Bodies.


    Li Wu Huan didn''t hesitate and directly took out a jade slip. She imprinted a strand of her own spiritual will on it and passed it to Du Feng.


    "Youngest junior brother, you should train harder. I''ll be waiting for the day you finish your studies and return home!" Li Wu Huan spoke sincerely towards Du Feng.


    Lin Tian and the others all looked towards Du Feng.


    However, this place was clearly not a place to talk. Lin Tian did not hesitate and after speaking a few words with Ling Wuji, he left.


    He no longer needed to participate in the sect''s selection battle. No one would doubt his identity as a saint now. The key thing was that among all the disciples, the strongest, Li Wu Huan, had already admitted defeat.


    Who else could be Lin Tian''s opponent?


    So out of the ten people participating in the Six Sects'' competition, one of them must be Lin Tian''s.


    Thus, there was no longer a need for Lin Tian to stay here.


    After leaving this place, Lin Tian first asked about the matter of them being kidnapped.


    Originally, Yang Bufan had already sent someone to Lin Tian''s cave. However, at that time, Lin Tian was cultivating behind closed doors and he felt that there was someone sneaking around in front of his cave. Almost without hesitation, he directly used his Spirit power to injure that disciple.


    Later on, seeing that Lin Tian still had no intentions of coming out, Yang Bufan came up with an idea. It was to abduct the few people who had the best relationship with Lin Tian.


    Back then, when they were kidnapped, Yang Bufan had let Wang Heng see it. His goal was naturally to inform Lin Tian of the news.


    One had to say, Yang Bufan''s plan was perfect, but he had miscalculated something.


    Then he had miscalculated Lin Tian''s strength!


    Lin Tian''s strength was completely out of his expectations.


    Of course, Yang Bufan also paid a price for his foolish actions.


    Everyone chatted along the way, and before long, they arrived at Lin Tian''s cave abode.


    Lin Tian did not say much and instead gave Du Feng a few pieces of the Extreme Violet Spirit Jade he had previously accumulated. Right now, Lin Tian did not have that much demand for spirit stones, after all, he still had half of the power of the devil and had yet to absorb it.


    If he were to completely absorb the half of the devil''s power, it was very likely that he would directly reach the Manifestation stage.


    Therefore, giving a few pieces of Extreme Violet Spirit Jade to Du Feng was not a problem.


    At the same time, the treasures that Lin Tian had obtained from his time in the Tian Luo Mystic Realm were also distributed among Ji Fang Ge and the rest without any hesitation. There were many treasures that he himself did not need, and it would be a waste if they were placed on his own body.


    Thus, Lin Tian did not allow them to refuse and directly gave it to them.


    In addition, Lin Tian gave Du Feng an explanation.


    This was because Du Feng wanted to go to the Heavenly Spirit Realm alone.


    On one hand, Lin Tian had told Du Feng to be careful on the road. On the other hand, he wanted Du Feng to find out if there were any news about his parents along the way.


    Moreover, after the battles of the six sects, was the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    After a while, Lin Tian would also go to the Heaven''s Spirit Realm, so he could get some information in advance. At that time, when he went, he wouldn''t be a headless fly messing around.


    Ji Fangge was fine, but as for Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er, they had been together ever since they had entered the academy, so they really couldn''t bear to part with Du Feng.


    However, Du Feng didn''t waste any time on words. He joked around for a bit and then left by himself.


    Lin Tian looked at Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er, who were both reluctant to part, and said, "That''s enough, you two don''t have to be sad. I believe that you won''t have the strength to be sad for a long time ¡­"


    At this point, both Fang Xing and Gu Yan''er had a bad premonition, so they asked Lin Tian in unison, "You, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, you shouldn''t even think about us cultivating together with you! "


    "Hur hur." Lin Tian slightly smiled but did not reply!


    "It''s over, we''re going to fall into the hands of the Lin Kuang Devil again!" Fang Xing cried out miserably.


    Fang Xing was born with a talisman body and was a genius at cultivating the path of talismans. Of course, all of Lin Tian''s knowledge contained the path of talismans, especially in his own memories, where he had once absorbed the memories of a powerful talisman master.


    He needed to get Fang Xing to grow as fast as he could.


    As for Gu Yan''er, he had the Woeful Poison Body and an even more terrifying physique, but coincidentally, Lin Tian had just obtained the Plague Poison Talisman not long ago, so there should be a secret technique on top of it. Lin Tian didn''t have any poison energy in his body, so he needed to start from the beginning again in order to cultivate the Poison Technique.


    Therefore, if she had a profound poison technique, this Gu Yan''er would be the best successor.


    As for Ji Fang Ge, his cultivation was already set. Lin Tian did not plan on interfering too much. He only wanted to cultivate with Lin Tian and the others.


    Thus, just like that, in the two months before the battles between the six sects, Lin Tian brought Ji Fang Ge and the other two to once again begin cultivating like demons!

 C487 Rules of contention

    Two months of time passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Tian finally crazily cultivated day and night, completely devouring and refining the source energy of the remaining half demon.


    Demons and dragons were the enemies of each other. If they met each other, the only ending would be death.


    And because of this, when demons engulfed the dragon race, their strength would rise dramatically, and vice versa.


    If the dragon race devoured the source energy of the demons, then their strength would greatly increase.


    After Lin Tian had absorbed and refined half of the devil''s source energy, his strength had unexpectedly crossed the Life and Death Realm and reached the Manifestation Realm.


    The current Lin Tian was already at the first level of Manifestation stage.


    This caused Ji Fangge and the others, who were cultivating with Lin Tian, to loudly cry out that Lin Tian was a freak.


    Even Li Wu Huan, who came to visit Lin Tian, was in disbelief.


    However, under Lin Tian''s provocation, Fang Xing, Ji Fangge, and Gu Yan''er were all filled with terror.


    From the seventh or eighth level of the Astral Reaching Realm, he entered the Life and Death Realm in one fell swoop.


    This made the few of them feel gratified. Although it was not as abnormal as Lin Tian''s cultivation speed, compared to their previous cultivation speed, their current cultivation speed was already quite terrifying.


    At the same time, it was finally the day of the six sects'' debate.


    The previous sect selection had already selected ten people who could participate in the six sects'' competition.


    Lin Tian, this saint of the Holy Sect was naturally one of them. As for the others, they were Ling Wuji''s disciples. In addition, there were the disciples of the Divine Martial Peak, Heavencraft Peak, and the Spirit Mountain.


    After a simple cleaning up, Lin Tian said his farewells to Gu Yan''er and the others before leaving.


    After all, Gu Yan''er possessed the Woeful Poison Body, so she would definitely be like a tiger with wings after obtaining this Poison Scripture. As for Lin Tian, he was able to rely on the immense strength of the Plague Poison Symbol to control poison techniques, and his strength was not weak either.


    If Gu Yan''er could rely on the power of the Blight Poison Talisman to completely awaken her Woeful Poison Body, it would be the greatest help to Lin Tian at that time.


    If this level of genius could be used by Lin Tian, then Lin Tian would truly have the confidence and confidence to fight to the death with the demons.


    Therefore, Lin Tian would spare no effort to help them.


    However, in the end, the extent of their growth still depended on themselves.


    Lin Tian didn''t think too much about it. Right now, he still had to participate in the Six Sects'' Debate.


    Thus, Lin Tian went to Lingxiao Peak first.


    On Lingxiao Peak, Ling Wuji was already waiting for everyone to arrive. The other disciples also came one after another.


    Not long after, Li Wu Huan also rushed over from somewhere else.


    However, when Li Wu Huan saw Lin Tian, her face was filled with astonishment as she looked at Lin Tian: "Junior brother Lin, you, you actually broke through to the Manifestation Realm?"


    Li Wuhui was extremely shocked. It had only been less than two months since the last sect''s battle for the selection and Lin Tian had already reached the first level of the Refinement Realm, from the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. What kind of concept was that?


    Lin Tian directly crossed three small realms, and in a short two months time. It had to be known that when he crossed these three small realms, he had used an entire year''s time.


    Just how terrifying was this Lin Tian? This time, Li Wu Huan had truly seen it for herself.


    When Li Wu Huan said this, she immediately attracted the attention of the others. Everyone''s gaze now fell on Lin Tian.


    Two months, three small levels, and he had directly reached the Manifestation stage. This kind of impact was simply too great for them.


    So big that they couldn''t believe it.


    Even Ling Wuji looked towards Lin Tian with a face full of shock. His gaze contained an intention to ask.


    Lin Tian did not hold back and lightly nodded his head. The battles of the six sects were a place where the strong fought. If Lin Tian did not have enough strength, a dignified saint like him would be ridiculed by the other sects. However, now that he had reached the Manifestation Realm, everything was different.


    Ling Wuji didn''t waste any time talking and introduced the rules of the Six Sects'' competition.


    The rules were simple. The six great sects, namely the Six Great Sacred Sects, Emerald Saint Valley, Eternal Spring Sacred Palace, Sword Saint Palace, Virtuous Cloud Saint Sect, Star Sea Sect, and Mysterious Heaven Saint Sect, jointly opened up a unique space for the sixty students chosen by the six great Sacred Sects to battle against each other. Finally, the strongest ten were chosen to represent the Western Spirit Region to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony that was sent by the Empyrean Spirit Realm.


    It could be said that the past battles of the six sects had been fought by the six great sects, but this year was completely different. The objective of this year''s True Martial Grand Ceremony was to gather all the masters of the True Martial World, select talent, and enter the True Martial Pavilion so that they could have a better development. Therefore, this time''s competition was not about the strength competition between the six great sects, but rather, the selection of the geniuses of the six great sects to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    So this time, the Six Sects'' debate method was very simple and crude. It was a battle, a battle that lasted all the way to the very last moment. The sect heads of the Six Sacred Sects evaluated and finally decided on the top ten candidates.


    In other words, the assessment this time would also have some unexpected events and he would definitely be able to become one of the ten people to represent the six Saint sects in the True Martial Grand Ceremony. There was only one way, and that was to become the champion of the Six Sects'' competition.


    This was the only way that no matter how the sect heads of the six Saint sects were evaluated and elected, nothing unexpected would happen.


    Lin Tian had some doubts in his heart. At the same time, he also knew that this rule was very likely a measure taken by the top three sects in order to protect their own sect''s disciples.


    If the battle continued like this, because ten people had to be selected, and if the two of them were the same and both of them were strong, then when the time came, they would have to listen to the opinions of the sect heads.


    This way, they would have a better chance of playing tricks on him.


    So, according to what Ling Wuji said, if one wanted to become one of the ten, there was only one way. That was to become the champion of the Six Sects'' competition.


    Lin Tian was determined to win the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony, so it seemed that he would have to have a good fight with the other experts of the six sects to obtain the main heads of the six sects'' great battle.


    While Lin Tian was still in deep thought, Ling Wuji had already left with the rest of the people to head towards the Emerald Holy Valley.


    As the strongest power in the Western Spirit Region, the Emerald Holy Valley was naturally where the six sects would battle.


    The Cloudsoaring sect had a huge teleportation formation that allowed them to teleport directly to the Emerald Holy Valley.


    Thus, this time, they had directly used the Teleportation Array and arrived at the Holy Jadeite Valley.

 C488 Negotiation rules

    As soon as they arrived at the Jadeite Sacred Valley, there was actually a person waiting to receive them in front of the transfer array.


    When he saw Ling Wuji, that person''s face broke out into a smile. Then, he said to Ling Wuji, "Elder Ling has arrived. It''s been a while!"


    Ling Wuji cupped his fists and laughed, "Elder Wang, it''s been a long time!"


    This was the first time Lin Tian had come to the Emerald Holy Valley. He did not expect that Elder Wang was actually a woman.


    As if she had seen the doubt in Lin Tian''s eyes, Li Wu Huan calmly explained: "From the sect master to the disciples, all of them are women. This Elder Wang is a woman, of course it''s normal ¡­"


    Lin Tian came to a sudden understanding and didn''t say anything more.


    However, he had a plan in mind. He remembered that Uncle Yu had told him that his mother, Lu Wushuang, was a person from the Emerald Saint Valley, and also a Holy Maiden.


    Although Lin Tian did not know the status of the Holy Maiden in the Emerald Holy Valley, but thinking about it, it shouldn''t be too low.


    No wonder when his father was going to be with his mother, he was obstructed by everything in the Emerald Holy Valley.


    However, never would the Emerald Saint Valley have thought that his father would be taken away by Lin Feng the eighth time under the obstruction of the entire sect.


    But Lin Tian had never heard of this matter before. It was likely that the Emerald Holy Valley also felt that they had lost face, so they simply did not mention it again.


    But after coming to the Emerald Holy Valley this time, Lin Tian couldn''t stay idle. It was still early, if there was a chance, he would ask around and find out exactly what happened that year that caused the Emerald Holy Valley to be so silent. He had no intention of bringing up this matter.


    However, Ling Wuji naturally did not know of Lin Tian''s thoughts. After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Elder Wang brought Ling Wuji to a reception area in the Emerald Saint Valley that was specially set up for receiving guests from the other five Great Sacred Sects. The residence was specially made for them to stay at, and there were three days left until the start of the competition between the six sects.


    "Elder Ling, Sect Leader has been waiting for a long time, can you ¡­" Before Elder Wang could finish his words, Ling Wuji had already smiled and said, "That is only natural. Let''s go meet Sect Leader Hua first. It has been so long since we last met Sect Head Hua. We should go and take a look first."


    As he spoke, Ling Wuji faced the crowd and spoke a few words. Then, he followed Elder Wang and went to meet with the Flower Master.


    Lin Tian and the others cleaned up the rooms and took their respective rooms.


    At the same time, the sect masters of the other great sects had also arrived at the Jadeite Holy Valley one after another with the disciples they had selected.


    At this time, several great figures were gathered in the great hall of the Jadeite Sacred Valley.


    The Valley Master of the Emerald Holy Valley, Hua Qiansong, the Palace Master of the Eternal Spring Holy Palace, Situ Changchun, the Palace Master of the Sword Saint Palace, the Great Elder of the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect, Ling Wuji, the Sect Master of the Star Sea Sect, Shen Tianhai, and the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sacred Sect, Li Tianxuan.


    At this moment, they were all sitting in the main hall according to the sect rankings.


    In the Emerald Holy Valley, there were only female disciples. Even Sect Master Hua Qianfang was a female, but she had a fiery temper. Those who had interacted with her before all said that she was more manly than men!


    However, since Hua Qianyu was their host, they could only listen to him quietly.


    "Everyone, don''t speak any more nonsense. I will only say one crucial thing. This time, a letter from the True Martial Pavilion is urging us in the Western Spiritual Region to dispatch ten disciples to the Heaven Spiritual Region to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony as soon as possible." "So, since all of you are here, why don''t we bring forward the Six Sects'' competition by two days? Tomorrow morning, we will officially begin, how about it?"


    Who would''ve thought that Hua Qianfeng would bring everyone here. Was he talking about this?


    "Advance, of course you can. However, for the rules this time, what exactly did Sect Head Hua think? Please give us your exact words." As soon as Hua Qianyu finished his sentence, the sect head of the Sword Saint Palace, Jian Wuque, asked first.


    This time around, Hua Qian did not go into detail when he was discussing the rules with the few of them. He only gave them a general idea. Moreover, even if he had a general idea, these sect leaders had different thoughts.


    Therefore, the first question to ask was still the question of rules. After all, rules were the most important question. However, it was also related to whether the disciples of the several great sects could become one of the top ten names.


    With Jian Wuque''s actions, the sect heads of the other sects also turned to look at Hua Qianlei.


    "What are your opinions?" Hua Qianyu seemed to have already known that they would ask this question, so she did not rush and tossed the question to the rest.


    In my opinion, what Sect Leader Hua had just said was not really appropriate. After all, if we were to judge and determine, the performances of some disciples would not be too different from others, and it would definitely be us who will decide on the result. It is not that I do not trust any of you, but if everyone had already agreed on this beforehand, then it would be unfair to the other disciples. At this moment, the head of the Changchun Palace, Situ Changchun, spoke up as well.


    Of the six Saint sects, besides the Emerald Saint Valley, the other two sects that were obviously the most powerful were naturally the Second Palace, which was also known as the Sword Saint Palace and the Changchun Palace.


    The power of the other three sects was simply too little when compared to these three.


    So, in fact, it was still a game between the three great sects.


    "What Palace Master Situ said makes sense. I agree!" Jian Wuque was the first to express his opinion. It seemed that these two had colluded with each other to compete with the Emerald Holy Valley over these rules.


    Hua Qianyu gave a noncommittal smile before turning to look at the others. He then asked, "I wonder what your opinions are?"


    Ling Wuji was the first to speak, "I have no objections. The sect head has entrusted me with this task. I will listen to your arrangements ¡­"


    This was not because Ling Wuji was spouting nonsense. The relationship between the Cloudsoaring sect and the Emerald Holy Valley had always been acceptable. This was also the reason why Elder Wang, who was by Hua Qianlong''s side, would personally greet them every time they treated the Cloudsoaring sect.


    Hua Qianyu''s expression immediately turned a lot better. She then said with a smile, "Thank you for your trust, sect head. I hope that Elder Ling can pass my greetings."


    Ling Wuji returned the greeting without any change in his expression, and then nodded in agreement.


    Hua Qianfeng did not even know about the death of the grand master. From this, it could be seen that Ling Wuji had been extremely careful.


    Unless it was absolutely necessary, Ling Wuji would never tell anyone about it.


    To Ling Wuji''s reply, Jian Wuque and Situ Changchun both understood the situation. They exchanged a look and then no longer responded.


    Hua Qianlong continued to ask Shen Tianhai and Li Tianxuan, "Sectmaster, do you have any other disagreements?"


    "The two of us had a private conversation just now and we''ve already made our final decision ¡­" Shen Tianhai glanced at Li Tianxuan, then faintly smiled, "We agree with the opinions of Swordmaster and Sect Master Situ. We must carefully discuss the rules of the six sects'' competition this time, this is the best explanation for the various sects, we cannot let the disciples of each sect feel dissatisfied just because of the negligence of the rules, and we did not let anyone from the other Spirit Realm mock us!"


    When Shen Tianhai spoke, Hua Qiansong''s expression immediately changed. She hadn''t expected that Jian Wuque and Situ Changchun would follow him like this and underestimate their motley group!


    However, Jian Wuque and Situ Changchun looked at each other again and then smiled.


    However, Hua Qianfeng quickly adjusted his state of mind and said: "Since that''s the case, then I will naturally follow the views of the majority. Let''s discuss the rules again, but I wonder, what are the other thoughts of the various sect heads?"

 C489 Snip message

    Just as the few sect masters were sitting together discussing the rules, Lin Tian also quietly left the residence.


    He strolled around the sect.


    Although Li Wu Huan had warned Lin Tian to not clash with the Emerald Saint Valley in order to not attract unnecessary trouble, Lin Tian had promised him, but he did not take it to heart.


    Back then, when the Emerald Holy Valley chased after his parents, logically speaking, this grudge should be irreconcilable. Even if Lin Tian had the heart to destroy the Emerald Holy Valley, it wouldn''t be impossible.


    But the key thing was that Lin Tian still had another huge question in his heart.


    In other words, his own father was actually very strong. Even on the eighth time, when the Emerald Holy Valley had gathered all the forces of their sect, they still couldn''t do anything to him. Thinking about it, at that time, his strength had already reached a certain degree.


    If his own father really had a grudge with the Ling Xiao Sacred Sect, then he could come here and cause trouble for the Emerald Sacred Valley in the future, and he could even destroy him in one go. But why didn''t his own father do that?


    This meant that in fact, his father did not have any enmity with the Emerald Holy Valley other than because of Lu Wushuang, which was also his mother.


    Secondly, it was most likely because of her mother. Her mother was, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley, and no matter what, she was a disciple of the Emerald Holy Valley.


    But no matter what the reason was, since his own father did not do this, there was no need for him, Lin Tian, to do it.


    This was because his current enemy wasn''t the Emerald Holy Valley. He had an even bigger mission that he needed to complete.


    Moreover, he was now consciously searching for the whereabouts of his parents.


    When he found his parents, everything would come to an end.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate at all and began to walk around the Emerald Holy Valley.


    Moreover, the key was that Lin Tian''s mouth was very sweet, and the key was that he still had countless treasures, many of them being things he did not need. Naturally, he did not mind being a good fortune boy, as the effect of treasures and sweetness was that Lin Tian was quickly welcomed by the female disciples.


    This also brought about another result. In the midst of idle chatter, Lin Tian intentionally or unintentionally asked a few questions about the situation in the Emerald Holy Valley.


    These questions were not confidential. On the contrary, many people knew about it, so they did not mind narrating it to Lin Tian.


    After all, after telling them a bit, they would be able to get a treasure. Also, Lin Tian''s appearance was not bad either, so they didn''t think too much about it.


    With that, Lin Tian continued to flip through many things. This trick had been tried and tested many times. Lin Tian also learned more about the Emerald Holy Valley from them.


    Even when Lin Tian tried to inquire about the Holy Maiden''s matter, the female disciples knew everything and spoke everything they knew.


    So it turned out that the so-called Holy Maiden was no different from a saint from the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    Actually, only the disciple of the sect master could be called a saint, and the most important thing was, if she could become a saint, then she would basically represent the next sect master.


    In that case, Lin Tian''s mother, who was also Lu Wushuang, was very likely to become the next Sect Leader.


    No wonder that Jadeite Sacred Valley would be so furious when Lu Wushuang was willing to follow Lin Feng. That child did not hesitate to chase after and kill Lin Feng.


    It was all because his father kidnapped the future sect master. How could he not go berserk?


    In this way, everything became clear. Lin Tian even tried to ask who the current Holy Maiden was, but none of the female disciples had any doubts, it was only because they didn''t know much that a female disciple with more experience told Lin Tian the reason. It turned out that ever since the previous Holy Maiden was expelled from the Sect, her position had been vacant for many years.


    Not long ago, the Sect Leader brought back a female disciple. From the looks of it, she might become the next Holy Maiden.


    When Lin Tian was asking more, the disciples all shut their mouths. And when Lin Tian tried to ask a female disciple what sect rule the previous generation''s sect master had violated, that female disciple''s face changed greatly, even not daring to take the treasure that Lin Tian had given her. Unexpectedly, she directly gave it back to Lin Tian, and there was a trace of vigilance on her face ¡­.


    How could Lin Tian not understand the meaning behind that female disciple''s words. She completely treated Lin Tian as a spy, Lin Tian did not dare to code the information, and hastily explained, repeatedly apologizing, and that female disciple let out a sigh of relief, then kept the treasure and sternly said to Lin Tian: "Don''t ask about the matter of the previous Holy Maiden, it is a taboo, if the sect''s law enforcers knew about this, not only will we be expelled, we would not even be able to protect our lives."


    In that way, Lin Tian didn''t dare to ask anymore. He was afraid that he would reveal something. But if that was the case, then the little clue that he found with great difficulty would be cut off again.


    After that, Lin Tian did not ask for any valuable clues anymore, so Lin Tian restrained himself and gave up on asking.


    These female disciples'' strengths were limited, and it was likely that their status in the Emerald Holy Valley was not that high. Thus, asking more would only be a waste of time and treasures. Although those treasures were useless to Lin Tian, they might come in handy in the future.


    Such a waste was quite a pity.


    Just when Lin Tian felt that this matter was in a predicament, he heard another unexpected piece of news. Today was the day that the Holy Maiden came out of seclusion.


    Saintess?


    Lin Tian immediately became interested. This Holy Maiden should be the one that the female disciple said the Sect Master brought back.


    It was just a coincidence that he bumped into it.


    This Holy Maiden most likely knew some clues.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Deng became excited. He suddenly had a bold idea. If he kidnapped this Holy Maiden and tortured her a bit, it wouldn''t be impossible.


    With a huge increase in his psychic power, he learned a terrifying soul-searching technique from the inherited memories of the Symbol Master.


    This kind of Soul Searching Technique could erase a portion of an ordinary person''s memories.


    This way, he would be able to cross the ocean without anyone knowing that he was the one who did it.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately took action. Without any hesitation, he directly asked for the location of the Holy Maiden''s exit and set up an ambush at the place the Holy Maiden had to pass through.


    After half a day of questioning, the results weren''t small. At least Lin Tian had fully understood the terrain of the Jadeite Holy Valley.


    Thus, after a long wait, Lin Tian finally waited for the Holy Maiden to come.


    Moreover, what made Lin Tian excited was another matter. Beside that Holy Maiden, there was no one else protecting her. That was to say, he could completely capture her.


    Lin Tian had made all the preparations, even summoning the Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse inside the Dragon Symbol Space. The Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse, right now it was already comparable to a King Stage master, that Holy Maiden, no matter how strong she was, could not be a King Stage master, so when the Heavenly Demon Yin Corpse made its move, she should be able to take it down in one fell swoop.


    But just as Lin Tian was planning on how to take down the Holy Maiden, Lin Tian suddenly raised his head and looked at the Holy Maiden. Suddenly, Lin Tian was stunned.


    Never in his wildest dreams had he thought that he would meet another familiar face in the Emerald Holy Valley!


    "How could it be her?" Lin Tian''s face was filled with incredulity as he stared at the Saint Daughter that walked over in a daze.

 C490 Farewell to flower ruyi!

    So it turned out that that person was none other than Hua Ruyi, who had a relationship with Lin Tian before.


    Only, Lin Tian did not understand. Wasn''t Hua Ruyi still in the Azure Province? How did she suddenly jump from there to the Emerald Holy Valley, and even become the Holy Daughter of the Emerald Holy Valley?


    If it was Hua Ruoyi, then there was no need to talk about his previous plan. Even if Hua Ruoyi became a Holy Maiden, it was not long ago and she would not know about the secret of the sect that happened ten or so years ago.


    Lin Tian Deng''s interest waned. He didn''t think that it would be so difficult for him to find so many things, but in the end, this clue was still going to be broken.


    However, right now, Lin Tian was troubled by something else.


    If Hua Ruyi was here, should he meet her?


    Furthermore, from the looks of it, this Hua Ruyi is likely going to participate in the subsequent battles between the six sects ¡­


    Thinking of this, the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth twitched, but after hesitating for a bit, Lin Tian still called the Heavenly Baleful Yin Corpse back into his Dragon Symbol Space. He wanted to wait for Hua Ruoyi to pass before returning to his own place.


    But unexpectedly, when Hua Ruyi walked over, she suddenly stopped walking and looked at Lin Tian''s location thoughtfully. Then, she suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Since you''re here, why are you acting so sneaky? Appear!"


    With that, Hua Ruyi''s long sleeves suddenly shot out. A huge force immediately shattered the large rock that Lin Tian was hiding behind.


    Lin Tian had nowhere to hide and could only reveal himself. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and grabbed onto Hua Ruyi''s sleeve, then Lin Tian revealed a helpless smile. He then said to Hua Ruyi: "Miss Hua, long time no see!"


    Hua Ruyi''s body immediately stopped. She looked at Lin Tian with a face full of shock. For a moment, she was at a loss as to what to do.


    Actually, in the instant that Lin Tian spoke, she already recognized that it was Lin Tian''s voice, but when Lin Tian''s face appeared in front of her, she was still somewhat at a loss.


    It was as if a part of her heart had been touched.


    She was a bit at a loss as to how to face Lin Tian, especially when the person she had been thinking about all day suddenly appeared in front of her. She didn''t know how to respond and immediately, she was at a loss.


    "Lin Tian, is it really you?" Hua Ruyi looked at Lin Tian and asked.


    "I also didn''t expect that the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley would actually be you." Lin Tian let out a long sigh. He knew that he would have to face this trial sooner rather than later.


    However, if he did not face it now, he would be even more embarrassed later on.


    Hua Ruyi did not speak for a long time, but it was Lin Tian who first asked Hua Rui how she had become the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley.


    It turned out that after Lin Tian had said goodbye to her, Hua Ruoyi had told Jiang Liu''er the truth of the matter. At first, Jiang Liu''er''s reaction was very strong, but after that, she had accepted it.


    After that, Jiang Liu''er acknowledged Xiao Yunhai.


    Hua Ruyi thought back and forth and decided that she could not give up just like that, so she made another move, and that was to leave Tian Luo Kingdom.


    She knew that she was born with a beautiful body, so she intentionally used a disguise technique to change her appearance. She even changed into a man''s clothes.


    She did not know where she was going at the beginning, but because she wanted to leave Tian Luo Country, she aimlessly walked on the road. When she arrived at a mountain full of demonic beasts, Hua Ruyi felt that something was wrong.


    However, it was too late. Just as she was about to be killed by a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, she ran into Hua Qianlei who was out searching for medicinal ingredients.


    Hua Qianlei''s eyes were sharp and sharp, he could see through Hua Ruyi''s natural seductive body with a single glance. Originally, Hua Ruyi wanted to hide her beauty, but he didn''t expect her to be willing to accept her as her disciple.


    After finding out Hua Qianyu''s identity, Hua Ruyi agreed.


    She immediately knew what she wanted. Deep down in her heart, she wanted to get closer to Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian went to the Cloudsoaring sect and she came to the Emerald Holy Valley.


    This way, she wouldn''t be left far behind by Lin Tian.


    When Lin Tian heard this, he naturally understood Hua Ruyi''s meaning.


    He just sighed and didn''t say anything.


    Hua Ruyi continued to narrate the rest of her story, and the rest of it became much simpler. With her help, Hua Ruyi''s cultivation speed became even faster.


    With the help of Hua Qianlong, Hua Ruyi had completely unleashed the terror of her natural seductive body.


    A natural bewitching body was also a type of heavenly body, and the most important thing was the power of bewitchment.


    In fact, if he could completely develop this talent in her body, he could completely turn Hua Ruo Yi into a top-notch expert in a short period of time.


    Hua Qianlong naturally understood this very well. After all, he had taught Hua Ruyi a particularly terrifying charm.


    Furthermore, when Hua Ruoyi reached the Creation stage, Hua Qianyu announced that she would become the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley.


    After hearing this news, Lin Tian finally let out a sigh of relief.


    The news of Hua Ruyi becoming the Holy Maiden was good news to him, because as the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley, falling in love was not allowed.


    Back then, when his parents were being hunted down, it was because Lu Wushuang was a Saint Daughter. Yet, his heart had been moved ¡­


    Hua Ruyi''s face slightly paled, and then she asked about Lin Tian''s matters.


    Before, he was still worried that the clue would be broken, but now, it didn''t matter. No matter what Hua Ruyi said to him, they could still be considered friends, so he didn''t hide it and directly asked Hua Ruyi about this matter.


    However, Lin Tian had also made preparations that Hua Ruoyi did not know about.


    After all, Hua Ruyi had just arrived at the Emerald Holy Valley not long ago.


    As expected, after Lin Tian asked this question, Hua Ruyi thought for a long time, but in the end, she still shook her head, indicating that she didn''t know.


    But there was no harm in it. Hua Ruyi was the Holy Maiden. With her identity, wouldn''t it be much easier for her to investigate this matter than it was for an outsider like Lin Tian to investigate?


    Although Hua Ruyi hesitated for a moment, she still nodded her head in agreement.


    But without waiting for Lin Tian to be happy, Hua Ruoyi suddenly opened her mouth and said: "I helped you. How do you plan on thanking me?"


    Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he raised his head and looked at Hua Ruyi who was smiling sweetly at him as she asked.


    Lin Tian was at a loss as to what to do ¡­.

 C491 Battle start

    However, Hua Ruoyi was only saying that, and did not really ask Lin Tian for anything in return.


    Thus, the two of them exchanged a few more words of greeting before leaving.


    After resolving this matter, Lin Tian''s heart was set. He had finally resolved a big matter in his heart.


    As for whether there were any results, he could only wait.


    However, there was no point in thinking too much about it now. The next step was to wholeheartedly prepare for the battle between the six sects.


    When Lin Tian returned to his residence, Ling Wuji had just returned from the main hall.


    Of course, he also brought back the most important news. The rules discussed by the six school heads were also thoroughly confirmed.


    Ling Wuji briefly explained the process of the six grand masters'' discussion to them. After that, they all understood.


    The six sect masters all had different thoughts in their minds. This was certain. The Jadeite Sacred Valley had been ranked first among the six great sects for many years, but neither the Sword Saint Palace nor the ruins of the Eternal Spring Palace had been defeated.


    Therefore, when it came to the six great sects'' face this time, it was normal for them to fight amongst each other.


    Of course, each of the six great sect masters was scheming against each other, and they could also make the rules of the Six Sects'' competition fair.


    The six sects'' battle had been divided into three rounds.


    The first round was still an elimination round, but the rules of this time''s elimination round were different from the previous rounds. This time round, the six sect masters would release the power of their own domain, and then let all the disciples get along under the pressure of the six people''s domain. They would see who could last long, and the twenty people who lasted long would directly obtain the qualification to enter the next round.


    This could be considered the fairest rule, because there were ten people in each of the six great sects this time. Even if the six great sect masters wanted to side with their respective disciples, it was impossible.


    This was because the six grand masters were taking the test together and all the students had to persevere under the pressure of the six grand masters at the same time.


    Therefore, these six sect heads probably did not dare to go easy on him. If they went easy on him, wouldn''t that mean that the disciples of the other sects would pass without a hitch ¡­


    that would basically be unfair to all of the disciples.


    However, this way, it would truly test the strength of all of them. No one would be able to get away with it.


    This time, the six great sect masters had opened up a unique space with their six years of strength.


    In this space, with the appearance of two people, two of them would fight. The winner would then enter the next round, while the loser would be eliminated immediately.


    The final ten people would be able to participate in this year''s Zhen Wu Ceremony.


    Of course, even though there were ten people selected, it was not fair, so they came up with a remedy.


    Of the ten people, they still had to compete for the ranking and participate in the Challenger League.


    This was also the final round.


    And after these three rounds were over, the final ten people would be able to participate in the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony.


    This sort of rule was something that the majority of the crowd had never expected. However, in the end, it was decided, and they did not need to worry too much about other things.


    When they thought of this, the others did not think too much about it. After all, not only had the rules been decided this time around, the time had also been brought forward.


    The debate between the six sects was supposed to be held three days later, but it was now set for tomorrow.


    Therefore, no one thought much and directly began to rest to prepare for tomorrow''s match.


    The next day, the battles of the six sects began as scheduled, and the location was chosen in the Martial Stage of the Emerald Holy Valley.


    The entire Martial Arts Practice Field was abnormally large and grand. All of the six great sect leaders were sitting on the high platforms. And below the stage, all of the disciples of the six great sects were standing there, waiting for the true competition to begin.


    The person in charge of the Six Sects'' debate this time was naturally the Valley Master of the Emerald Holy Valley, Hua Qianlei.


    At this time, Hua Qianyu was standing on top of the high platform, looking down at all the disciples who were participating in this year''s competition. He then smiled and said, "Fellow disciples, I won''t say much more about the importance and rules of this competition between the six sects, I believe the sect leaders have already told you all about it, but it should be noted that the goal of this time''s competition is to select the elites of our West Spirit Region''s Six Holy Juniors to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony. The True Martial Grand Ceremony is an event held once every ten years.


    "I will not say anything else. I believe that all of you are aware of the rules. Next, I announce that the six sects'' competition has officially begun!"


    With that, Hua Qianyu stood up. The other sect heads also stood up, and Hua Qianyu said to an old woman beside her in a low voice, "Elder Wang, come. You will be responsible for recording this."


    Lin Tian had seen the old woman before, but she was the person who came to welcome them that day, Elder Wang.


    At this moment, the six great sect leaders were already standing in the middle of the martial arts practice field in a six pointed shape, with each of them in six different positions.


    At this time, Elder Wang also spoke to the other students, "Alright, next up. Disciples, come up!"


    The disciples of the six great sects came to the Martial Stage in succession and stood there.


    Before long, under Elder Wang''s command, all of the disciples were thoroughly disrupted. Originally, one disciple should be standing in the same school, but now, all of them were disrupted. This time, of course, it was to prevent the other school heads from releasing the water.


    After the commotion, if the sect master let them go, then the other disciples could easily pass as well. This would be even more unfair.


    Lin Tian also saw Hua Ruoyi. Indeed, as he expected, Hua Ruyi was also going to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    In fact, there were times when Lin Tian thought about it and it was truly unbelievable. The previous Hua Ruoyi''s strength was only that of the Jindan Stage, but she was now in the Manifestation Realm. Even though Lin Tian had obtained so many fortuitous encounters, and had even devoured an entire devil''s power, she had only reached the Manifestation Realm, but this Hua Rui had only been in the Jadeite Holy Valley for a year and had already reached the Manifestation Realm.


    Of course, this wasn''t only because of her [Charm Body] ''s effect. More importantly, she had a good master. Sometimes, just thinking about the so-called fate was only mediocre.


    Just as Lin Tian was thinking this, Elder Wang had already said to the six sect masters: "Fellow sect heads, all disciples are ready. Please begin!"


    As he finished speaking, the six great sect masters all released their domain powers.


    After all, these six sect heads were all existences above the Emperor Realm. The strongest, Hua Qianlei, had already reached the Saint Realm. As long as he stepped on the door, he would be able to directly reach the Saint Realm.


    The King''s Realm comprehended the power of domain while the Saint Realm comprehended the power of laws.


    The King''s Realm was the king of their own domain, while the Saint Realm used the rules of the world to control the heavens and the earth.


    At this time, they were releasing the power of their own domain, so as to test just how long these disciples could last under the power of their domain.


    "One flower, one world. One leaf, one universe!" Right at this moment, Hua Qianyu was singing in a low voice, her body immediately releasing many bright colored flowers, as well as layers upon layers of green leaves, red flowers and green leaves. At this moment, they frantically gathered together, a powerful and terrifying power instantly enveloping all the surrounding disciples.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." After this power had enveloped all of the disciples, all of the disciples suddenly felt their bodies become a lot heavier, as if there was some extremely terrifying power suppressing them.


    Some of the students were suppressed by this force and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Then their bodies flew backwards, unconscious.


    Lin Tian also felt the terrifying power of this domain. Every flower, every green leaf, seemed to be filled with a terrifying and huge power. The key was that this power was completely unable to be resisted with his own strength and could only be forcefully shouldered by his own body.


    Even though Lin Tian''s physical body was incomparably strong, he still felt it difficult to breathe.

 C492 Power of six domains

    "I have not tested the once in ten years blade attack. One sword attack has turned the temperature to nineteen prefectures!" At the same time, Jian Wuque also did not want to be outdone. He directly threw out a sword, and when the sword appeared, it was like three thousand weak water. It was vast and mighty, like a great river, as if it possessed the might to destroy the heavens and earth.


    When that power was applied to everyone, they immediately felt an incomparably cold killing intent envelop them, causing their hearts to become blocked and they even had the impulse to kill someone.


    "What a terrifying killing intent and infernal energy!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but cry out in surprise. This Flawless Sword Domain was his own unique Domain, Sword Domain. However, Lin Tian guessed that this Flawless Sword must have killed a lot of people.


    Because under the power of this domain, there were countless terrifying evil auras, and faintly, Lin Tian could hear countless ghosts wailing.


    Lin Tian felt the pressure on his body multiply. He had no choice but to use his body''s endless physical strength to forcibly block the terrifying force. Only then did Lin Tian not fall down.


    The other disciples didn''t feel too good either. A few of them couldn''t hold it in any longer and vomited blood before falling to the ground again.


    In a mere instant, the two sect masters had released the power of their own domain, and more than a dozen disciples were unable to withstand it, and directly fell to the ground.


    Out of the sixty disciples, there were only forty or so left.


    "Flowerless Flower, Evergreen, Human does not live forever, but Changchun!" At this moment, Situ Changchun from the Changchun Palace had also released his own domain.


    Streams of spring wind and rain like auras crazily rushed over. Countless energies and auras were like a tide, majestic and nourishing everything around them.


    The disciples were pleasantly surprised by Situ Changchun''s domain power. This was a great gift to them, because the two domain powers from before were already almost unbearable to them. However, they had never imagined that Situ Changchun''s domain power was actually an extremely gentle power.


    Lin Tian initially had this feeling, but soon after, he felt something wasn''t right.


    No, that''s not right. This was an assessment and it was an elimination round. Situ Changchun couldn''t possibly have gone easy on them. Of course, he couldn''t have used this kind of power to help them.


    This level of strength could very well create an illusion.


    Thinking this, Lin Tian immediately became vigilant. He raised his head and looked towards Situ Changchun.


    He was looking at Situ Changchun with a smile on his face as he looked at the crowd. In his smile, there was an indescribable sense of strangeness.


    "Damn, I knew it!" Lin Tian instantly released all the power from his body without any restraint. Violent and strong power gathered in front of Lin Tian''s body, forming a power barrier.


    Sure enough, in the next moment, the peaceful power of the domain suddenly transformed into a powerful and terrifying power. Hua Qianlei''s coercion and sword energy were actually dozens of times stronger than before.


    "What''s going on?" Some disciples exclaimed.


    "I, I can''t hold on any longer!" As some disciples spoke, their bodies were sent flying.


    "This is my Changchun Domain. The power of Changchun is a gentle force, or, in other words, it''s a supporting force, a neutralizing force. When you felt the pressure earlier, it was due to the neutralizing force that neutralized the powers of Sword Sovereign and Sect Head Hua, but it was also a supporting force, so when the neutralizing force completely dissipated, then the remaining power would be a supporting force that would be able to increase all the terrifying killing power by tens of times ¡­"


    "What the f * ck, what a cheat!" Some of the disciples shouted out, but after being stared at by Situ Changchun, they no longer dared to speak.


    Lin Tian laughed coldly but did not speak. These sect heads all looked harmless, but their inner hearts were extremely malevolent. Do you dare to believe them?


    "It''s my turn." Ling Wuji had a smile on his face. After which, he completely released all of the powers in his body. After which, a terrifying killing intent gushed out from his body.


    "The power of my domain is the power of my Dao!" Ling Wuji then stretched out his hands and drew a line. Then, he drew another vertical line.


    After the horizontal and vertical lines crossed each other, it suddenly swept towards the disciples of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.


    Actually, when this power arrived, Lin Tian had already felt the difference between Ling Wuji and the three sect masters that had released the power of their domain.


    Ling Wuji''s domain power was also very strong, but it was still far from the strength of the other three sect masters. Ling Wuji''s domain was indeed very strong, but it was still far from the strength of the other three sect masters.


    This time, most of the disciples could bear it.


    Only a few of the disciples who had overdrawn their strength and reached their limits were unable to withstand it, and their bodies also flew out.


    Right now, there were still two sect masters that had yet to release their domain powers, but both of them only had around thirty disciples left.


    This also meant that after a dozen more disciples were eliminated, they would be able to enter the second round.


    The remaining disciples also perked up. At the same time, the Sect Master of Star Sea Sacred Sect, Shen Tianhai, suddenly activated his domain power.


    "The stars are all over the sky and the stars are all over the sea." At this moment, Shen Tianhai''s body had turned into a huge pillar of light, attracting the star power in the sky to him one by one.


    Terrifying amounts of astral energy permeated the atmosphere, enveloping the crowd within. The terrifying pressure exuded from the constellation that descended from the skies, the might exuding from them increased by a level.


    Not long after, there were over a hundred star power directly falling down. Every single person could feel their bodies containing a thousand kilograms of power. It was difficult for them to endure them and even Lin Tian''s arms began to tremble slightly.


    However, Lin Tian was still able to stand up straight, but many disciples were already suppressed by this power to the point where they were unable to stand up straight.


    One by one, the disciples fell to the ground spitting out blood, completely unconscious.


    At this moment, there were only 28 people remaining, and there were another 8 people that were now ranked from the second round.


    At the same time, the sect head of the Black Heavenly Saint Sect, Li Tianxuan, also made his move.


    "Forever-ending blade strike! Size is good! Convenient killing, behead!" The Mysterious Heaven Saint Sect was a blade cultivation sect. At this moment, a powerful blade intent gushed in like crazy. It was like a small blade, terrifying and crazily slicing through the bodies of many of the students.


    A disciple spat out blood. Two, three, four.


    Very quickly, only twenty-four disciples remained.

 C493 Borrowing force to strike force

    At this time, the heads of the six Saint Sect had already completely released all of their domain energy. What was left to see next was the endurance of these disciples.


    As time passed, the power of the domain became increasingly terrifying. After all, this was a slow process. At the beginning, the disciples didn''t consume too much of their strength, so they were naturally able to withstand the power of the domain.


    However, as the domain power became more and more tyrannical, their powers were also being consumed substantially. Therefore, this caused them to be on the verge of collapsing.


    At this moment, it was endurance that was being tested.


    However, if this group of disciples had similar strength, then the outcome of the competition would definitely be decided.


    After a moment, a disciple could no longer withstand the domain''s power and flew backwards.


    He passed out and was never able to wake up again.


    Twenty-three!


    At this moment, there were only twenty-three people left who could still persevere and persevere.


    After another quarter-hour, the two disciples let out miserable wails as their bodies flew backwards.


    In this way, there were only 21 disciples left.


    After the time it took to burn an incense stick, the last disciple could no longer hold it in and flew out.


    And at this time, the rules that they had originally agreed upon, only left behind twenty disciples to enter the next round, which was officially completed at this time.


    Right now, there were only 20 disciples left in the area under the domain power.


    These twenty disciples immediately felt relieved. If nothing went wrong, these twenty disciples would definitely be able to enter the next round.


    Just as he was thinking about this, Elder Wang said: "The list of twenty disciples to enter the second round is out. It will be Hua Ruyi, Lin Tian, Li Wu Huan ¡­"


    The name Elder Wang said was precisely the name of these twenty people.


    However, at this moment, the six great sect masters did not have any intention of withdrawing their domain power. Instead, they strengthened their domain power.


    "Disciples, no need to panic!" Right at this moment, looking at the flustered looks on the disciples'' faces, Hua Qianlong suddenly opened his mouth and asked.


    "Hmm?" The other disciples were slightly startled at this moment, but immediately focused their gazes on Hua Qiansong.


    "What''s next, we''re just playing a little game, what are you all panicking for?" "This is also what I discussed with the other great masters. That is, we want to see how long all of you can persevere under the pressure of the domain power that we used with all our might."


    As they spoke, they had already unleashed the power of their domains to their limits. At this moment, a frantic and boundless pressure had completely engulfed all of the disciples.


    The other sect masters also released their domain energy to the extreme. As a result, all of the disciples were able to feel that incomparably powerful pressure, and before long, two to three disciples could no longer withstand that pressure and were sent flying.


    In truth, this sort of domain power had limited damage to them. It wasn''t terrifying at all.


    They were only unconscious right now. When they woke up, it wouldn''t affect their following battle in the slightest.


    And just now, Lin Tian saw Elder Wang actually start to burn an incense stick.


    At this point, that incense stick had only burned down to less than half of its original value.


    As he thought this, a few more people couldn''t withstand the pressure and were sent flying away again by the power of the domain.


    As a result, there were only 10 or so people left.


    Lin Tian swept his eyes over the crowd and only then did he discover that without a single exception, all of them were the top geniuses of the six big sects.


    For example, Li Wuhuan and Hua Ruyi were among these ten people.


    At this moment, the incense was already half burnt.


    At this time, the heads of the six great sects also began to communicate with each other.


    "The overall strength of the disciples of the six sects actually increased this time." Hua Qian Fang spoke first.


    At this moment, there were still two experts from her Emerald Martial Palace, and the disciples from the other sects, such as the Star Sea Saint Sect and the Profound Heaven Saint Sect, numbered only one.


    However, what surprised him was the fact that there were still two more disciples persisting on their side.


    Hua Qianyu had some impression of one disciple, because she knew the strength of the other disciple. However, she had never seen the other disciple before.


    If one were to talk about the Sword Saint Palace or the Changchun Sacred Palace, Hua Qianlong would not be the least bit curious about such a genius. However, the key point was that the disciple from the Cloudsoaring sect was truly unbelievable.


    The other sect masters also noticed Lin Tian''s existence. One by one, they looked at Lin Tian''s figure while the other one started to look at Ling Wuji.


    "Looks like the domain power that we have exerted is not strong enough. These disciples, each and every one of them can actually resist it ¡­" Right at this moment, Jian Wuque suddenly opened his mouth, but in the next moment, he abruptly strengthened his terrifying sword intent.


    That level of sword intent seemed to have the power to destroy the heavens and earth. As a result, all of the disciples revealed painful expressions. To them, this kind of pressure was simply impossible to resist.


    At this time, Lin Tian''s flesh and veins began to bulge and his face began to turn malevolent and terrifying.


    However, the more powerful the pressure, the more potential he would be able to unleash.


    The whirlpool in his dantian was currently revolving rapidly. The surging blood energy was being mobilized by Lin Tian, shaking his entire body. Endless power was gushing out from his body, helping him resist this frightening power.


    And at the same time, there were already quite a number of disciples who had reached their limits. If the power of this domain was even a bit stronger, then they wouldn''t be able to endure it any longer.


    At this moment, Situ Changchun had added fire to his fire. This fire caused all the disciples to feel extremely bitter. This was because Situ Changchun''s power had once again increased the pressure of the domain to a terrifying degree.


    "Plop, plop, plop ¡­" At this moment, each disciple spat out a mouthful of blood.


    At this time, other than Lin Tian, the remaining disciples in this domain were all blown away by this power.


    Under the influence of such a huge domain, only Lin Tian was still bitterly holding on.


    "Who the hell is this kid?" The other sect masters were all looking at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    This brat was extremely unfamiliar. No one knew Lin Tian''s identity or background, but the things that Lin Tian did made everyone feel that it was inconceivable.


    This boy was actually able to endure for such a long time under the pressure of all of them. It was already quite inconceivable.


    However, from the looks of it, this kid''s potential had yet to reach its limit, and he could still persevere on.


    This aroused the interest of all the sect masters.


    And at this moment, of course, that incense stick had already burnt all.


    At this time, only ashes remained, which was a declaration of how terrifying Lin Tian was.


    However, like this, the other sect heads felt as if they had suffered some sort of humiliation and did not continue to hold back. A monstrous power was completely released and all of their might was released onto Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian felt the pressure on his body increase, but he still lightly glanced at the surrounding people, the corner of his mouth revealing an imperceptible smile.


    Finally, he could borrow some strength to fight back.

 C494 Reabsorption of ancestral dragon blood essence

    After all, their domain strength was incomparably terrifying, and the reason that Elder Wang had set the time limit for the incense was probably because these sect heads had discussed this earlier. With an incense stick as the time limit, they would want to see if any of these disciples could last so long.


    However, before the incense was burnt out, all of the disciples except for Lin Tian were sent flying.


    But this Lin Tian, from just a moment ago until now, had persisted the entire time. He had endured for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.


    This caused the sect heads to be somewhat disgraced. One had to know that they were all experts of the Emperor Realm. Many of them were only a sliver away from becoming Saints.


    With such an expert''s strength and the power of their domain, even a Manifestation stage boy would not be a problem. If this news were to spread, wouldn''t others laugh their heads off?


    Thinking of this, everyone''s heart tightened and immediately released an even more terrifying domain power, pressing down on Lin Tian.


    However, Ling Wuji was the most worried.


    One had to know, this Lin Tian was a saint of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, he did not want Lin Tian to die here.


    But just as he was about to send a message to Lin Tian, he heard Lin Tian''s voice: "Great Elder, please do your best and not let him go. To me, this is a great opportunity and not a disaster!"


    Lin Tian didn''t say much. At this moment, his body was already on the verge of collapse. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.


    Lin Tian was clear in his heart that the power of pressure this time was a rare opportunity because his body still had dragon blood!


    That''s right, normally speaking, if he wanted to absorb the power of the dragon blood, Lin Tian would need to be in a life or death situation. Only by doing so would he be able to completely stimulate his potential and absorb a portion of the power.


    Thus, from the beginning, Lin Tian had these thoughts.


    However, what made Lin Tian a little surprised was that the power he could endure had increased greatly. If the power that the six great sect masters used just now was too weak, it would be completely unable to activate his own strength, so Lin Tian had persisted until now.


    Luckily, finally, the six great sect masters also felt that they had lost face on Lin Tian. Without any hesitation, they directly began to use all of their strength. Streams of incomparably terrifying power continuously gathered on Lin Tian''s body, pressuring Lin Tian until he almost couldn''t stand straight.


    But the more it was like this, the more the whirlpool of dantian spun. A terrifying and terrifying force quickly spread throughout Lin Tian''s body.


    After an unknown amount of time, the whirlpool of Dantian suddenly shook violently, and a terrifying and terrifying force surged out from Lin Tian''s body.


    At this moment, the whirlpool of Dantian spat out a trace of blood.


    That strand of blood energy instantly turned into a small red dragon in Lin Tian''s body.


    Currently, the little red dragon was swimming within Lin Tian''s body, transforming into pure dragon blood energy. It grinded against Lin Tian''s body, causing Lin Tian''s body to turn blood-red. It looked quite terrifying.


    At the same time, Lin Tian could no longer suppress the power in his body. He suddenly stood up straight and then raised his head to the sky and let out a terrifying roar: "Roar!"


    The huge roar was somewhat deafening, and it shook the six sect masters until their eardrums started to hurt.


    Not only that, under Lin Tian''s strange change, the originally huge domain power formed by the six great sect masters also completely disappeared at this moment.


    That''s right, it disappeared.


    It was as if he had been completely annihilated by a certain power within Lin Tian''s body, never to be seen again.


    "What''s going on?" Hua Qianyu and the other sect heads looked at each other, but no one knew what was going on.


    What kind of power was the power that suddenly erupted from Lin Tian''s body? How could it suddenly annihilate everyone''s domain power?


    Ling Wuji''s eyes also released a burst of light. His eyes flickered and looked towards Lin Tian as the corner of his mouth started to tremble uncontrollably.


    Kirin Zi, this child is definitely Kirin Zi!


    Previously, if the corrosive power that broke through the forbidden area of Navy Tide was a coincidence, then if it was able to destroy the domain that the group gathered here and kill Charm Ancestor and even destroy the domain, then it would undoubtedly be Kirin.


    Lin Tian had carried the thousand years of hope of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect''s Ascendant from the West Spirit Realm!


    A thousand years ago, even forefather Ling Xiao had not been able to accomplish this. It wasn''t necessarily that this kid couldn''t do it!


    At this moment, Ling Wuji''s heart was filled with excitement. Initially, Lin Tian had chosen to be a saint, but Ling Wuji felt that it was a little risky. But now, he had made the right bet.


    At the same time, the other disciples who had completely seen the scene in front of them all looked at Lin Tian with a face full of stupor.


    He ¡­ he was actually this strong?


    At this moment, Lin Tian felt an indescribable feeling of comfort all over his body. That kind of feeling made him feel like his entire body was bathed in an extremely warm wave of air.


    At the same time, his aura also surged. He quickly broke through from the first level of the Manifestation stage to the fifth level.


    He had raised it by a total of four levels.


    Lin Tian was not surprised. After all, he had already absorbed a portion of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence.


    Previously, he had heard from Horned Demon that the strand of blood essence he had inherited was the blood from the heart of the Ancestral Dragon, the very essence of its body.


    As a result, such a change was within Lin Tian''s expectations.


    It was just that as Lin Tian''s strength became more and more powerful, after he absorbed the blood essence, the help it gave him would become smaller and smaller.


    Not only that, Lin Tian also discovered that only half of the drop of Ancestral Dragon blood essence remained. In other words, Lin Tian had already absorbed half of the Ancestral Dragon blood essence.


    Not only that, within Lin Tian''s dantian, there was even a blood-red dragon. However, at that moment, the body of the little dragon was becoming more solid, and it looked quite out of the ordinary.


    Facing such a change in Lin Tian, the sect heads of the six sects all looked at each other. They didn''t know why this brat was so strange.


    But now, they were in front of so many people. If they were to talk about this in front of all these people, their great sect masters would lose a lot of face.


    The rest of the group simply stopped thinking about it. Hua Qianfeng turned to the crowd and said in a slightly embarrassed manner, "All of you disciples, thank you for your hard work. The previous twenty disciples, you should go back and rest now. Tomorrow, the second round of the competition will officially begin."


    Even Lin Tian had left the area, but the other sect heads had all turned to look at Ling Wuji. It was clear that since Lin Tian was so terrifying, they wanted this Ling Wuji to tell them exactly what was so special about him.

 C495 Taboo from the emerald holy valley

    Ling Wuji knew that the crowd had this question, but he did not say anything. He only said that Lin Tian was a genius that had been hidden away.


    They were the disciples of the sect master, saints of the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect.


    After saying this, the others finally understood and didn''t ask any further questions.


    Every sect had geniuses that were hiding in the shadows. Because the freakishly talented geniuses were simply too frightening, the sects had no choice but to take such measures to protect these genius disciples that were terrifyingly strong.


    Therefore, when Ling Wuji said that Lin Tian was a disciple who was hiding in the snow, everyone immediately came to a tacit understanding and did not ask anymore. Since Lin Wuji was a disciple who was hiding in the snow, it basically proved the existence of this disciple.


    So even if they were still very curious about Lin Tian, they wouldn''t ask because they knew that even if they asked again, they wouldn''t be able to get anything out of him.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also returned to his residence. This time, everyone''s attitude towards Lin Tian greatly changed, and all of them were now looking at Lin Tian with both fear and curiosity, as if they had discovered a new continent. If it was said that they weren''t so afraid of Lin Tian before, then it was because none of the disciples realized that Lin Tian was actually so terrifying.


    Lin Tian''s strength had almost already surpassed all of their imaginations.


    Even Li Wu Huan was looking at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression, her heart was filled with confusion.


    He was one of the ten people that lasted until the end with Lin Tian. He was also a bit puzzled. To what extent did the six great sect masters'' domain energy reach? He had personally experienced it.


    In the end, Li Wu Huan could even feel that terrifying energy. It was so powerful that it could almost suppress his blood to the point of spurting out.


    It was also at that time that he could no longer withstand the force and was sent flying backwards.


    But if Li Wu Huan felt that it was not bad, then after they were all blown away, with the addition of Lin Tian''s terrifying strength, it was many times stronger than before.


    Also, at this time, only Lin Tian was standing alone in that domain, so all of the power was being absorbed by Lin Tian.


    Thus, this was also the reason why Li Wu Huan felt so terrified.


    Also, the result had exceeded everyone''s expectations. Not only was Lin Tian fine, he even directly destroyed the domain power that the six great sect masters had combined their efforts to create.


    In the end, all of the Domain Power completely turned into nothingness, moreover, it was completely caused by the power exploding out from Lin Tian at his last moment. This was also the reason why Li Wu Huan did not dare to believe all of this.


    But Lin Tian did not want to explain anything.


    He was just saying that he was a bit conceited before.


    Although Li Wu Huan didn''t really believe this explanation, she didn''t ask about it. This proved that Lin Tian didn''t really want to say it and he couldn''t get the answer even if he forced himself to ask.


    Li Wuhuan might as well start resting to prepare for tomorrow''s battle.


    The night gradually enveloped the entire Jadeite Sacred Valley.


    In the middle of the night, Lin Tian suddenly stood up and quickly headed towards a hidden place in the Emerald Holy Valley.


    After lightly knocking on a huge rock three times, a huge hole immediately appeared under Lin Tian''s feet. Lin Tian immediately missed, but he still maintained his posture. At the same time, his body maintained its wholehearted vigilance.


    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian''s body finally completely landed on the ground. At the same time, Hua Ruyi''s voice suddenly came from not too far away: "You''ve come."


    Lin Tian turned around to look. Not far away, Hua Ruyi was standing.


    This was what they had agreed upon in the morning. In the morning, before the first round of the exam began, Hua Ruyi had told Lin Tian that they had thoroughly investigated about what Lin Tian had asked her to ask about yesterday.


    It was agreed that tonight, Hua Rui would tell Lin Tian everything.


    That was why Lin Tian had come here.


    "Are you sure you''ve made inquiries?" Lin Tian didn''t really dare to believe Hua Ruoyi''s efficiency.


    "Naturally." Hua Ruyi smiled, then suddenly said to the person behind her: "Grandma, come out ¡­"


    "Grandma?" Lin Tian''s eyebrows wrinkled and he immediately became vigilant.


    "Don''t worry, this is Grandma Li. She specializes in serving the Holy Maiden of the Jadeite Temple. The previous Holy Maiden, who is also this Grandma Li, knows even more about the previous Holy Maiden''s matters." Hua Rui immediately explained to Lin Tian in case he took action and hurt Grandma Li.


    Lin Tian''s expression finally eased up a bit.


    However, Hua Ruoyi could not help but ask, "What was the purpose of all the trouble you went through to find out about the previous Holy Maiden?"


    Previously, Lin Tian had only entrusted her with asking about the previous Holy Maiden''s information, but for what reason, Lin Tian didn''t say too much.


    When Hua Ruoyi went back to inquire about the matter, she found out that Lin Tian had already used a lot of treasures to trick the other female disciples. Later on, when Hua Ruoyi asked again, she realized that the matter of the previous Holy Maiden in the Emerald Holy Valley was a complete taboo, and anyone who mentioned the previous Holy Maiden seemed to have completely violated the sect rules.


    Therefore, Hua Ruyi had also spent a lot of time and effort. Fortunately, she finally found out that Grandma Li was the one who served the Holy Maiden from the previous generation.


    It took quite a bit of effort for Hua Ruyi to invite Grandma Li as well.


    At this moment, when Nanny Li saw Lin Tian, she suddenly became excited: "How is this possible, how is this possible, you, you ¡­"


    Grandma Li seemed to have suffered some kind of shock. She immediately lost her breath and almost fainted.


    However, Hua Ruyi promptly channeled a surge of boundless elemental energy to protect Grandma Li''s heart.


    Grandma Li came back to her senses and carefully stared at Lin Tian.


    After a long silence, Grandma Li finally said in an earth-shattering manner: "You must be the child born from the unparalleled Holy Maiden ¡­"


    Just as she finished speaking, Hua Ruyi nearly cried out in surprise.


    Only now did she know why Lin Tian treated the previous Holy Maiden so seriously. It turned out that Lin Tian was actually the child of the previous Holy Maiden!


    Lin Tian was not surprised by this at all. If this Grandma Li really did serve his mother back then, seeing his appearance, knowing his identity wouldn''t be a big deal.


    "Granny, please tell me exactly what happened to me all those years ago. Also, when my father took my mother away, where did he go?" Lin Tian directly asked.


    He only had a vague understanding of what happened back then, and this time he only let Grandma Li explain everything that had happened.


    What he wanted to know the most was how his father had taken his mother away, and where they had gone.


    Nanny Li sighed and then said, "At that time, your father seemed to be a disciple from a small and remote country. But at that time, his talent wasn''t very good, so none of the six Saint sects wanted him. He participated in the Six Sects'' competition alone."


    "But things went beyond expectations. Your father became famous in the Six Sects'' competition, and even became the chief of the Six Sects'' competition, your father and your mother fought, and because of that, they formed a bad fate. Originally, when the other sects saw your father with such talent, they wanted to take him in, but your father publicly suggested that they marry your mother ¡­"


    Grandma Li sighed once again, and then said, "You should know that your mother is the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley and the future Sect Master of the Emerald Holy Valley. How could she have a relationship with a child?"


    "Your father has thoroughly angered Sect Master Hua. Sect Master Hua has decided to expel your father from this place. From now on, you are not allowed to enter the Emerald Holy Valley at all. "Like this, when the other sect masters saw that your father offended that Flower Master, no one dared to say that they wanted to take your father in as their disciple, but your father was someone who would not give up until the Yellow River gave up on him. He didn''t say anything more and just left, and before he left, he only said that his current strength is too low, and if he was treated like this, then he would definitely come to find your mother."


    Lin Tian heard this and felt a sense of novelty. He had never heard of his father having such a glorious history.


    However, if it was a small and remote country, then it would be the Tian Luo Country. He did not expect that his father did not come out from the Great War of a Thousand Kingdoms, but rather, seemed to have come out on his own.


    "Grandma Li, continue." Lin Tian softly said.


    "But your father''s words completely infuriated Sect Head Hua. He even decided to send people to kill your father."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s eyebrows immediately turned cold. Chase?


    Grandma Li did not notice Lin Tian''s abnormality and said: "Yeah, chasing, but the person sent out came back and told Sect Master not long after, that your father had disappeared. Until your father appeared once more and came to the Jadeite Sacred Valley, his strength was already several times stronger than before."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but twitch. So it turned out that his father was also a fierce person, to actually be so terrifying.


    But after thinking about it, Horned Demon once said that his father also had dragon blood in him. Presumably, it was because of the awakening of the dragon blood in his body that his cultivation speed was able to increase by leaps and bounds.


    After understanding this level, Lin Tian didn''t say anything more and continued to look towards Grandma Li.


    Grandma Li continued, "Later on, when Sect Head saw your father''s strength greatly increase, she was shocked. But of course, she naturally could not let your father succeed. One move. With just one move, your father was suppressed."


    Grandma Li continued to speak while Lin Tian listened. In the end, Lin Tian basically connected everything together.


    His own father had indeed battled for seven times, all the way until the seventh time. His father had grown to the point where he could fight to a draw against Hua Qianyu.


    At that time, Hua Qianlong had just advanced to the Emperor''s Realm. In the end, he had once again defeated Lin Feng by relying on the power of his domain.


    Lin Feng once again escaped at that time.


    By the eighth time he returned, Lin Feng had also become an Emperor and had also comprehended the power of his domain. This time, Lin Feng did not let the tragedy repeat itself, he had completely defeated Hua Qianlei and took his mother away.


    The Emerald Holy Valley viewed this matter as a great humiliation. The first thing that Hua Qianlong did was to seal off all news of this matter. At the same time, he also listed the matters concerning the previous generation as taboo.

 C496 Second round of the contest

    Lin Tian now had a clear understanding of the relationship between his parents and everything that happened. However, he once again opened his mouth and said: "Then do you know where my parents went?"


    This was the question that Lin Tian was most concerned about. The reason he had fought so hard all the way was mostly because of his parents.


    And now that he knew about his parents, Lin Tian was naturally unable to restrain his excitement.


    "This, I really don''t know." Nanny Li shook her head at this moment, before saying, "However, back then I had heard the Holy Maiden say that there was something to look for."


    "Your father seems to be searching for something ¡­" Grandma Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "Also, I heard that not long after your father kidnapped your mother, your mother became pregnant. What happened afterwards, I didn''t know much.


    "The sky spirit realm is indeed in the sky spirit realm!" Lin Tian''s eyes immediately gushed out a firm gaze.


    In fact, he''d been guessing all along that his father should be in the sky spirit realm.


    From the looks of it, his father should be searching for information regarding the whereabouts of the dragons.


    Furthermore, on the way here, after coming out of Tian Luo Kingdom and coming to the Western Spirit Realm and falling in love with his mother, he probably went to the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    Only by going to a place where there were more sects and more powerful forces would they be able to find out more about the dragon race.


    Lin Tian, who had obtained this information, was already quite satisfied.


    One had to know that all of this information was an unexpected gain.


    He then refined a red pill and gave it directly to Grandma Li: "Grandma Li must be reaching the end of her life. This pill may not have any other uses, but it can slow down your aging speed, and it can also extend your lifespan by a little, so treat it as a thank you gift."


    Granny Li was a little hesitant in the beginning, but she didn''t dare to accept it.


    It wasn''t until Lin Tian brought it in front of her and forced the blood pill into her hands that she accepted it.


    Then, she smiled at Lin Tian: "If the Wushuang knew that her child had grown up to be like this, she would definitely be very happy."


    Lin Tian didn''t comment and just smiled. He didn''t say anything more, and after thanking Hua Ruyi, he turned around and left.


    This time, he had sufficient reasons to do so. Even if he had to go all out, he was going to challenge the leaders of the six sects. He couldn''t wait to go to the True Martial World and go to the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    He had a premonition that he might very well meet his parents during the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    Moreover, the Zhen Wu Jie ceremony was a grand event for all the spiritual regions under the Zhen Wu Jie realm. At that time, the Demon Spirit Domain would certainly send out their most powerful demon clan genius.


    But when it came to demon race geniuses, who could be more talented than Yun Huang?


    Yun Phoenix was the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix Clan and she even possessed the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix.


    Naturally, he was considered the number one genius among the demon race.


    In other words, this time, if Lin Tian went to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he would have a very high chance of meeting Yun Huang.


    Thinking of Yun Huang, Lin Tian''s state of mind somewhat fluctuated.


    It had been two to three years since their last parting.


    Lin Tian previously felt that the Emperor Stage was too far away, but now that he had reached the fifth level of the Manifestation Stage, he only had four small realms left to become an Emperor Stage existence.


    However, Yun Huang did not know whether or not he was living a good life.


    Lin Tian was very worried about Yun Huang''s situation. The High Priest of the Sky Phoenix Clan was definitely not a good person.


    If this time, Yun Huang''s figure could not be seen during the True Martial Grand Ceremony, then Lin Tian would definitely use his spear to attack the Sky Phoenix Clan.


    After pondering for a while, Lin Tian emptied his mind. He was prepared to rest first and then prepare for tomorrow''s battle.


    On the morning of the second day, all the disciples once again gathered at the martial arts practice field.


    Yesterday''s first round of knockout seemed to still be fresh in his mind, but many students did not have the opportunity to enter the second round.


    Only the twenty of them had managed to make it to the last minute of the day in order to participate in the second round.


    This time, the six big school heads didn''t say anything more. They gave the next round of the competition all to Elder Wang.


    "Everyone, have you seen that this second round''s competition rules are actually much simpler. First, each disciple will enter the barrier, and after you enter, the swirl energy in the space will transfer you two together, and then, the two of you will fight with each other. The victor will be chosen to be on the list of the ten, and the loser will be eliminated. Do you all understand this rule?"


    "Understood!" The disciples immediately began shouting.


    Lin Tian raised his head to look at the vortex barrier in mid-air. He naturally knew that this was the unique space that his six sect leaders had created together. It was actually similar to the small universe.


    However, since they would be automatically assigned as opponents if they were to rush in, it was likely that they would be assigned based on the combat strength of their opponents.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s heart immediately calmed down. Honestly speaking, Lin Tian was quite confident in his own battle. His current methods could almost crush an expert of the same level as him.


    At the same time, Lin Tian also turned around to look at the other disciples. The other disciples all had different expressions and no one knew what they were thinking about.


    "Next, begin!" Following the start of the sound, those disciples took the initiative to stand under the vortex barrier. After which, they were completely absorbed by the energy on the vortex barrier.


    One by one, the disciples disappeared without a trace. At this time, the disciples that had already been eliminated yesterday were all standing in the arena, carefully observing the situation within the whirlpool barrier.


    Bubbles formed on the surface of the barrier. At this moment, the bubbles were perfectly visible to all the disciples.


    This was also to let them take a good look at everyone''s performance in this round, so that they could prepare for the next round.


    This was because before they came, they already knew that they still had their last chance. After this second round, it would be the third round.


    In the third round, you can let them choose their opponents, and if they are not convinced, you can challenge any one of their ten people, and if the challenge is successful, you can replace that person, and become one of the ten people. If you fail, you will lose, but it will not have any effect, so all the disciples were looking for the weakest disciple seriously, and then challenge him ¡­

 C497 Fight dugu lang

    At this moment, Lin Tian, who was deep within that unique space, was waiting for his opponent to arrive.


    He was actually a bit curious as to what kind of opponent the sect leaders of the six sects would find for him based on their performance in the first round.


    After all, Lin Tian''s performance in the first round could only be described as terrifying.


    So Lin Tian really wanted to know if his opponent would be the strongest one among all the disciples.


    But in truth, Lin Tian hoped even more that he wouldn''t run into Li Wu Huan and that Hua Ruyi.


    In the entire Lingxiao Sacred Sect, among these twenty people, he and Li Wuhuan were the only two.


    As for Hua Ruyi, he had known her for a long time, so he wasn''t able to do anything about it.


    Just as Lin Tian was still looking forward to it, a figure suddenly appeared in his space.


    "It''s you?" When the person saw that it was Lin Tian, he was somewhat surprised, but then he quickly said: "Haha, presumably because of your first performance, you''ve been selected as my opponent, right?"


    The person looked around at Lin Tian and then said.


    "However, I''m afraid that you will have to suffer a little this time around!" That disciple narrowed his eyes at Lin Tian, and continued to speak: "Brat, don''t think that you can hold on for a while in front of the powerful domain power released by the six great sect masters, and think that you are very strong. Let me be honest with you, you are still far from being a real expert, a true expert will only perform in battles and judge the strength of experts, and you, in front of me, Dugu Lang, are nothing but trash!"


    "..." Lin Tian Deng was speechless. Who was the one that gave these disciples the habit of being stinky and always acted like the number one old bird in the world. He looked down on this and looked down on that but his strength was just too weak.


    "Boy, give up resisting and just admit defeat. If that''s the case, I will absolutely not injure you. Otherwise, the sword in my hand will not have much of an eye. If I injure you at that time, you might be injured." Dugu Lang urged once again.


    "Sword?" Lin Tian slightly smiled and said: "Are you a disciple of the Sword Saint Palace?"


    Usually, other than the Sword Saint Palace, there were no other sects that used swords.


    "That''s right, I''m a saint from the Sword Saint Palace..." Dugu Lang hadn''t even finished speaking when he was interrupted by Lin Tian.


    "You talk too much nonsense!" Lin Tian directly took out the Dragon Scale Spear.


    In such a space, one need not worry about having too much strength and causing damage to the arena.


    So Lin Tian felt especially at ease. The first move he made was the strongest move within the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb ¡ª ¡ª Void!


    This was the sixth form of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb that he had only used against Li Wu Huan.


    This was the second time he had used it.


    Before Dugu Lang even finished speaking, he was interrupted by a powerful and terrifying force. The Dragon Scale Spear was like a long cyan dragon as it rapidly rushed towards Dugu Lang.


    Dugu Lang''s face was filled with astonishment. Obviously, he had not expected Lin Tian''s spear strength to be so terrifying.


    He didn''t dare to be negligent. The longsword left its sheath with a "cough". It carried an extremely terrifying might as it suddenly shot towards Lin Tian''s spear.


    The instant the sword and the spear collided, Lin Tian''s spear first broke through, then Dugu Lang''s sword shadow slowly dissipated.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Tian had a plan. This Dugu Lang was a bit stronger than him.


    With this level of strength, in the Sword Saint Palace, he should be a saint or something.


    When Dugu Lang saw this scene, he began to laugh out loud. "Brat, I truly thought that you were very strong. However, from the looks of it, you''re only this strong!"


    As he spoke, Dugu Lang''s confidence soared before he once again thrust his sword forward.


    "Brat, this time, I want to show you what a true sword technique is and what a true sword intent is!" Dugu Lang frantically snarled. However, at the same time, the power and aura of his body also explosively increased.


    Not long after, terrifying power gushed out from Dugu Lang''s sword. Monstrous strength, terrifying killing intent and boundless sword intent were all being released from Dugu Lang''s sword as he sent a sword slashing towards Lin Tian.


    "The Dugu Sword Intent, kill!" A desolate and murderous atmosphere immediately enveloped Lin Tian and Dugu Lang.


    At this time, Lin Tian looked at Dugu Lang with some astonishment. He didn''t expect that this Dugu Lang was actually a sword master who had comprehended sword intent.


    The so-called sword intent was actually a kind of mental power. This mental power could influence the opponent during the battle. Dugu Lang''s current Dugu Xingfeng really did affect Lin Tian at the beginning, but it did not have a deep impact on him.


    It had to be known that Lin Tian''s soul force was extremely powerful. He was still a third level spirit runemaster. Moreover, presumably it wouldn''t be long before Lin Tian could step into the Earth Symbol Master realm.


    Thus, wanting to use the power of his thoughts to influence Lin Tian was simply wishful thinking.


    However, Lin Tian did not immediately reveal it. Instead, he continued to show his state of being affected by the Dugu sword intent.


    As a result, Dugu Longden fell for the trap. Looking at Lin Tian''s somewhat dazed appearance, Dugu Longden felt that this was a great opportunity and that he should take this opportunity to take Lin Tian down in one fell swoop.


    Thinking of this, Dugu Lang fiercely thrust his sword towards Lin Tian.


    That sword was fast and fast, it was completely capable of killing Lin Tian in one hit.


    As for Lin Tian, his face was still in chaos as if he had lost his soul.


    "Go to hell, boy!" The smile on Dugu Lang''s face became more obvious.


    But just as the tip of his sword was about to reach Dugu Lang, Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth and laughed: "Is that so?"


    "Hmm?" Dugu Lang turned pale with fright. He had clearly been affected by his Dugu Jian Chen ¡­


    "I''m sorry, I am a Symbol Master!" Lin Tian seemed to know what Dugu Lang was thinking and directly answered his question.


    Dugu Lang''s eyes looked like they were about to spew fire. He never thought that he would still underestimate this kid in the end.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian directly stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Dugu Lang''s sword.


    Dugu Lun suddenly felt a strong force coming from his hand. He was almost unable to endure it and almost dropped the sword in his hand.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian suddenly attacked.


    This time, he punched.


    "Oh right, I forgot to tell you something else. I''m actually an individual cultivator, and a very powerful one at that!" Lin Tian smiled again.


    However, at this moment, a fist had already landed on Dugu Lang''s body.


    Dugu Lang immediately heard a burst of kacha kacha sounds.


    A wave of pain caused his consciousness to blur. He only knew that he had lost, to this kid''s hands!

 C498 Discern the identity?

    "Congratulations to Lin Tian of the Soaring Cloud Sect for defeating the Sword Saint Palace''s Dugu Lang!" Right at this moment, Elder Wang''s voice suddenly sounded from nearby.


    "How is this possible?" At that moment, Dugu Lang''s body was ejected from the vortex barrier.


    At this time, he was stubbornly staring at Lin Tian, his face filled with disbelief.


    He actually lost!


    This was completely out of his expectations. He must know what status Dugu Lang had. He was the direct disciple of the Sword Saint Palace''s Palace Master, Jian Wuque''s head disciple, the disciple of the Sword Saint Palace''s disciple!


    He was confident that his swordsmanship was peerless, and that he had comprehended sword intent at such a young age, such a terrifying technique.


    Among experts of the same level, he had never lost a single time, but now, he had suffered a crushing defeat against this unknown brat.


    First, this kid had broken the Dugu Sword Intent, which he was most proud of, then he had blown it away with a single palm from this kid, making him the first person to suffer a crushing defeat.


    That''s right, it was the first one. At this moment, Dugu Lang looked around and in the other spaces, no one was sent out. This also meant that in the battle between him and Lin Tian, the victor was the first one to be decided.


    He was also the first one among these people to suffer a crushing defeat.


    At this moment, Jian Wuque was in disbelief. With Dugu Lang''s strength, he had absolute confidence when facing any talented expert. After all, Dugu Lang was the disciple he brought along.


    However, he never would have thought that the first to lose would be his prideful disciple!


    Jian Wuque''s face turned dark. He first looked at Ling Wuji, but Ling Wuji acted as if he didn''t see Jian Wuque at all. He then looked away.


    Suddenly, Ling Wuji''s gaze fell on Lin Tian. His eyes were cold, as if he wanted to see through Lin Tian.


    But unfortunately, Lin Tian did not seem to see Ling Wuji''s gaze and instead watched the fight between Li Wu Huan and Hua Ruyi with interest.


    But after looking at it for a while, Lin Tian knew that he didn''t need to continue looking at it.


    It was because their opponents were not their opponents at all, and victory and defeat were only a matter of time.


    However, at this moment, Hua Qiansong, Shen Tianhai, Situ Changchun, and Li Tianxuan had looks of bewilderment and bewilderment on their faces.


    This was especially true for Li Tianxuan and Shen Tianhai. If one were to speak of the strength of the Cloudsoaring sect and the Star Sea Sect, they would say that they were on par with each other. But how could this Lin Tian be so powerful?


    Even if it was Xue Zang''s genius, it would still be a bit too terrifying. If this Lin Tian really took over the position of sect head in the Soaring Cloud Sacred Sect, their two sects would never be able to rise above the masses ¡­


    While he was thinking this, other disciples also defeated their opponents one after another. Then, they began to walk out of the vortex.


    As expected, Li Wu Huan and Hua Ruo defeated their opponent and successfully leveled up.


    In this way, the final ten selected people from the second round were also thoroughly selected.


    Elder Wang''s gaze was cold. After he announced the names of the ten people, he turned to Hua Qianyu and asked, "Sect Leader, what should we do next?"


    Tomorrow morning, the third round of the competition will begin. After the third round of the competition is completely over, against the result of the third round of the six sects'' competition, we will decide who will be the candidate to participate in the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony. "


    Hua Qian Fang had previously had a very deep impression of Lin Tian, but she didn''t think too much about it.


    But today, she carefully looked at Lin Tian, then took a good look at Lin Tian, and felt that this boy, perhaps she had seen him somewhere before.


    In this way, she suddenly thought of many things. The memories she had previously sealed were completely dug out by her. Actually, she wanted to completely seal off part of the memories, but she didn''t think that Lin Tian would actually give her the key to open that memory.


    Lin Tian saw Hua Qianlei''s gaze and knew that Hua Qianlei must have guessed his identity.


    After all, when she went to find Granny Li last night, Grandma Li had already figured out her identity with a single glance.


    His own mother was Hua Qiansong''s disciple, and his father had once caused such a ruckus in the Emerald Holy Valley. It would be strange if this Hua Qianlong could not guess his identity after seeing his appearance.


    But even if she knew Lin Tian''s identity there was no harm. With Ling Wuji here, she would presumably not dare to do anything to Lin Tian.


    Even if he had to take a step back and say that Hua Qianlei truly wanted to kill him, whether or not she could kill Lin Tian was another matter altogether.


    Thinking of that, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and left with the others.


    The remaining grand masters all left.


    However, Dugu Lang still looked like he had lost his soul. Obviously, he hadn''t walked out from the shadow of being defeated by Lin Tian just now.


    "Lang, it was only a loss. Why are you in such a sorry state?" Seeing Dugu Lang''s appearance, Jian Wuque could not help but berate him.


    The heart of a swordsman, if it was indomitable, even a single loss could not be endured. This was Dugu Lang''s most fatal weakness, and this weakness was almost certain that Dugu Lang would no longer be able to improve, and would no longer have the heart of a powerful warrior.


    "Master, I can''t accept this!" Dugu Lang gritted his teeth as he spoke to Jian Wuque, "I can accept losing to anyone, but I absolutely cannot accept losing to an unknown brat!"


    "Foolish!" Jian Wuque scolded again, "That kid is a hidden genius of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. You saw his performance in the first round of the knockout stage, and that''s the trump card of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect. Even though you lost to him, to my surprise, it''s still within reason."


    "But, you must remember, as a swordsman, you must have the courage to come back again. If you are unwilling, then think carefully about how to defeat that brat tomorrow and drag him down, not say that you are unwilling here!" Jian Wuque advised with painstaking effort.


    "Hmm?" Dugu Lang stared blankly for a moment before asking, "Master, haven''t I already been eliminated? Can it be that I can continue challenging that brat?"


    "How do you think the rules for the third round were set?" Jian Wuque sneered, "I''m just afraid that there will be an accident. But let me ask you, if I give you another chance, will you be able to defeat that kid?"


    "Of course, Master, you can''t possibly not even have this little bit of confidence in your disciple, right?" Dugu Lang had a sinister look on his face as he spoke.


    "That''s good. However, do not underestimate your opponent!" Jian Wuque reminded him once again.


    Dugu Lang''s face was now filled with hatred, his face turning malevolent.


    "Lin Tian, wash your neck and wait for me to come get your dog head!"

 C499 Blast it again!

    Lin Tian naturally did not know what Dugu Lang was thinking, but he was more worried about what Hua Qianlei would do next.


    It wasn''t that Lin Tian was afraid, but after all, it was easy to dodge a spear and difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark. If Hua Qian had released it, he wouldn''t have been afraid at all, but if there was something wrong, Lin Tian had no choice but to defend against it.


    However, he only needed to be careful in the future.


    However, if Hua Qian Fang had really thought about making a move on him, then Hua Qian Fang should have thought about the future and thought about whether or not she would deal with Lin Tian. It was impossible for me to be the next Lin Feng!


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian immediately sat cross-legged. He had to fight for the championship position of the six sects'' competition. There was still a round tomorrow and he had to go all out.


    The next morning, the third round of the competition proceeded as scheduled.


    This round of the competition was actually very simple. Among the ten people present, the first thing they had to do was to face the challenges of the other disciples.


    In the first two rounds, the disciples who were eliminated still had one more chance to challenge them. If one could successfully challenge them, they could naturally become one of the ten people, and the person who was originally one of the ten people would be eliminated.


    This was only the first stage of the competition. There was still the second stage of the competition, and that was to re-determine the final ten people to participate in the ranking competition.


    The biggest meaning of the ranking competition was to select the champion, and then to give the other disciples a ranking.


    This ranking actually had a great influence on the upcoming Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony.


    However, this time, it was precisely because of the importance of this third round of competition. The judge and presiding over this round was Hua Qianlei.


    As for the other five sect masters, they stood off to the side, supervising the battle.


    He directly faced the first and second round disciples, who were eliminated, and said: "I know that among all of you, you must still be very strong. But the disciples who were eliminated in the first and second rounds, due to various reasons, will be given a chance this time!"


    "All of you open your eyes wide and take a good look at these ten people on the stage. Let''s see if their strength can match up to the position they are currently standing. If not, then come up and chase them down!"


    Hua Qianyu''s voice was like a great bell and it shook the spirits of all the disciples, but at the same time, the blood of these disciples began to boil.


    This was their last chance. If they wanted to reach a higher position, such as competing with other heaven''s pride level experts in the True Martial Grand Ceremony, they would first have to be able to enter this list.


    And now, this was their last chance.


    "I want to challenge ¡ª" Dugu Lang stepped forward.


    "Good, so you are the disciple of the Sword Saint Palace, Nephew Dugu. I wonder who you are going to challenge, Nephew?" Hua Qianyu said with a smile.


    "Lin Tian, get the hell down here. That position doesn''t belong to you, so you don''t deserve to be in that position!" At this moment, Dugu Lang was like a grieving wife as he stared unwaveringly at Lin Tian and sinisterly yelled out.


    "Me?" Lin Tian was slightly startled, then he tentatively asked: "Have you thought it through? Are you really going to challenge me?"


    "Didn''t we fight yesterday? You''re not my opponent, so I suggest you go challenge someone else." Lin Tian sincerely advised.


    This was the truth. After all, Dugu Lang''s Dugu Chen''s sword intent was completely useless against him. Moreover, Dugu Lang''s physical strength was extremely weak. If he were to use all of his strength, even a single move would be enough for him to kill himself.


    However, that did not mean Dugu Lang was not strong. In fact, Dugu Lang was quite strong. If he were to challenge others, perhaps he would have a chance of winning.


    However, the more Lin Tian said that, the more Dugu Lang felt ashamed.


    His face became more and more sinister. He stared at Lin Tian and suddenly shouted out: "Lin, cut the crap. Today, if I don''t kill you, I swear I won''t be a human!"


    Dugu Lang suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand and pointed it at Lin Tian. In the next moment, his figure suddenly moved and he jumped onto the stage, ready to fight Lin Tian to the death!


    Lin Tian shook his head: "You can''t beat me, why waste time? However, since you want to be abused, then I will definitely satisfy you! "


    Saying this, Lin Tian adjusted the strength around his body to its peak condition.


    Since some blind fool was going to challenge him first, he didn''t mind making an example of him. This was to prevent those people in the future from thinking that his strength was only mediocre and continuously challenging him, annoying him!


    "Let me start with you." Lin Tian said in a low voice and then stood on the stage, quietly waiting for Dugu Lang''s arrival.


    "Lin Tian brat, I already know your trump card and you''re only corroding it. Ordinary sword intent can''t do anything to you and even my Dugu sword intent doesn''t have any effect on you, but do you think that I only have that little bit of ability?" Dugu Lang replied with a faint smile.


    Last night, he put in a lot of effort and carefully simulated the battle between him and Lin Tian. Finally, he figured out a question, and that was that Lin Tian could defeat him for two reasons: Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, and his Dugu sword intent, to Lin Tian, had very little of an impact, almost to the point of being negligible. But at the same time, this kid''s body was incomparably strong, and he did not check for a moment.


    However, since he knew the reason, how could he, Dugu Lang, allow this tragedy to repeat itself?


    It had to be known that right now, he knew Lin Tian''s methods, but he hadn''t completely used them yet.


    For example, he still had sword force!


    Sword intent was not his only method!


    "Sword Force!" Dugu Lang waved his sword and the powerful and terrifying sword force was completely unleashed.


    The biggest difference between sword intent and sword energy was that sword intent could affect one''s will, but for Lin Tian, who was a Symbol Master, it could almost completely not be affected.


    However, the sword energy was different.


    Sword energy was the power of slaughter.


    What Dugu Lang had comprehended was the power of his killing sword.


    The power of the Murderous Sword Force was even stronger.


    And this power was all added up to physical attacks.


    That was to say, it was all a matter of slaughter and battle techniques.


    Furthermore, with the support of the Sword Qi, Dugu Lang''s swordsmanship would be much stronger than before.


    The key point was that once he was enveloped by this sword energy, it was extremely difficult to break free. He was like a turtle in a jar, casually being crushed and killed.


    "Interesting." Lin Tian''s mouth revealed a faint smile.


    Dugu Lang''s reputation as a saint was not just for show.


    Just from this killing sword aura alone, it could be seen.


    At this time, Dugu Lang''s killing sword aura completely enveloped Lin Tian. The vast and mighty sword qi was unending and extremely terrifying. The sword qi was constantly cutting Lin Tian''s skin.


    "Go to hell." Dugu Lang grinned fiendishly. Then, he roared, "Killing sword energy, strangling!"


    Streams of sword qi instantly began to go berserk, crazily slashing at Lin Tian''s body, causing Lin Tian''s body to almost completely be covered by the biting cold sword qi.


    In the next moment, he gently opened his mouth and said: "I actually gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you didn''t grasp it. This attack of yours can''t kill me, so don''t even think of killing me ¡­."


    "Whatever. Today, I''ll show you the gap between me and you is irreparable. No matter what method you use, you will not be my match!"


    Lin Tian suddenly opened his mouth and the whirlpool of dantian started to revolve crazily. His blood boiled and his body emitted a strong golden blood aura. It surged like the sea and was able to swallow ten thousand li.


    After Lin Tian had reached the Manifestation stage, the Coiling Dragon Body Technique that he had inherited had also reached the sixth stage.


    Pure Body!


    In other words, Lin Tian''s current body was completely free from filth, pure and flawless.


    Of course, the strength of this physical body had already exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    Dugu Lang''s sword energy that was filled with killing intent was very possible for the bystanders to directly kill him, but for Lin Tian, that sword energy was quite limited to him.


    Because that killing aura, in front of Lin Tian, even Lin Tian''s physical body could not break it.


    The strong sword qi landed on Lin Tian''s body, but Lin Tian did not even have the slightest reaction.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian already made his move.


    He used the God Transforming Steps to its limit and arrived in front of Dugu Lang in the blink of an eye. Soon after, Lin Tian''s fist had already arrived in front of Dugu Lang.


    "Bam!" After a loud noise, Dugu Lang''s body was sent flying.


    Lin Tian''s fist had once again smashed Dugu Lang!

 C500 A sword of difficulty

    "No!" At this time, Dugu Lang suddenly cried out in alarm. However, his body had already been blown away by Lin Tian.


    But he clearly felt that all the bones in his body were shattered by Lin Tian''s punch.


    Dugu Lang found it hard to accept this. He had not expected that twice, twice in a row, he would be completely crushed by Lin Tian and he did not even have the strength to fight back.


    It was his first time using the Dugu sword intent. The reason Lin Tian was able to beat him was because Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, but this time, he used another of his strongest methods, the Sword Force.


    This was already his trump card, but looking at Lin Tian right now, he seemed to still have some strength left!


    Dugu Lang could neither believe it nor accept it.


    Actually, it was mainly because he was now truly aware of the gap between him and Lin Tian, but in his heart, he refused to accept it.


    As a result, Dugu Lang instantly felt a buzzing sound in his mind. In the next moment, he seemed to feel something in his body rush into the depths of his throat. In the next moment, he could no longer withstand the frightening power and abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Then, he suddenly felt something inside his body collapse.


    AHH ¡­" "Dugu Lang instantly let out a terrible scream, which caused everyone to feel a chill run down their spines.


    Lin Tian was slightly startled, but he soon understood what was going on.


    "You reap what you sow." Lin Tian indifferently shook his head and didn''t say anything more.


    He also did not expect Dugu Lang to be unable to bear the blow from the failure and thus trigger the inner demons.


    Now, his cultivation could be considered to have been completely destroyed.


    One must know that Dugu Lang''s strength was not bad at all. However, he never would have thought that he would be defeated by his heart demon.


    However, this person''s determination was too strong, so it was not surprising that there would be such a result.


    However, his excellent cultivation was destroyed just like that. It was truly Dugu Lang''s sorrow.


    Lin Tian turned a blind eye to this, but that sword strike could not be turned a blind eye.


    This was his most valued disciple, and the key point was that Dugu Lang was his saint. In the future, Dugu Lang would take his place and become the Sword Saint Palace''s Palace Master.


    Furthermore, Dugu Lang''s talent was extraordinary. He was the only genius disciple that had both comprehended sword intent and sword aura. How many years had it been since the Sword Saint Palace had produced such a genius?


    But now, all of them had been destroyed by this kid called Lin Tian who had suddenly appeared!


    That''s right, he could also tell that Dugu Lang had been injured by his inner demon. Moreover, he couldn''t suppress his inner demon aura any longer. In other words, Dugu Lang had already been destroyed.


    At the same time that Jian Wuque hated him for not fighting, his heart was filled with hatred towards Lin Tian.


    This Lin Tian had destroyed his beloved disciple. This enmity was irreconcilable!


    Jian Wuque''s expression immediately became sinister as he stared at Lin Tian.


    "Little bastard, if you make a move, then do it, but my disciple will be destroyed by the devil in his heart. How do you want me to settle this debt for you!" At this time, Jian Wuque completely ignored Dugu Lang. On the contrary, he was the first to launch an attack on Lin Tian!


    And at this moment, seeing that the situation was not right, Ling Wuji immediately stood forward.


    "Jian Wuque, your disciple''s skills are inferior to others. After being defeated by Lin Tian, and after suffering from a defeat, your cultivation will go berserk. Yet, you blame it on my disciple!" Ling Wuji sneered, then replied coldly: "If that disciple of yours is truly capable, defeating Lin Tian, I naturally have nothing to say, but if you want to take this opportunity to insult my disciple, then I will have to experience your sword palace master''s powerful move!"


    "I''d like to see just how much stronger the Sword Saint Palace is after so many years!"


    Naturally, Ling Wuji would not allow Jian Wuque to deal with Lin Tian in such an overbearing manner.


    Putting aside who was right and who was wrong, just Jian Wuque being the head of a sect was enough to cause trouble for Lin Tian, so it was impossible that he did not show himself to support Lin Tian.


    "Ling Wuji, you''ve grown quite capable. Could it be that you think an existence at the first level of the Emperor Profound Realm can deal with me?" Jian Wuque snorted coldly as he stared at Ling Wuji.


    "As long as I''m still breathing, don''t even think about touching one of his fingers!" Ling Wuji did not hesitate and stood out, blocking in front of Lin Tian.


    "You''re courting death!" Jian Wuque did not waste any time on words. The long sword in his hand was instantly pulled out by him. The monstrous sword Qi was so terrifying that in the blink of an eye, it had covered the entire area.


    Dugu Lang''s face was now ashen, but when he saw that Jian Wuque was actually willing to attack for him, he was exceptionally excited. His charming face contorted to the extreme as he crazily roared at Jian Wuque, "Master, avenge me! Kill him, kill that brat! "


    Dugu Lang''s current madness scared everyone. Lin Tian also had a cold look on his face as he looked at Dugu Lang.


    This child is so narrow-minded and can''t withstand any blow. He is destined not to have any achievements in the future. If a genius is jealous, he won''t be able to go far and he won''t be able to go far.


    However, Lin Tian wasn''t the least bit afraid when faced with Jian Wuque''s aggressive aura.


    Jian Wuque''s sword qi was even more terrifying than Dugu Lang''s. This was because the Flawless Sword had just been unsheathed and had not even used a single move yet. Lin Tian felt a cutting pain all over his body.


    This was the strength of an Emperor Stage expert. Even with Lin Tian''s strong physical body, he could still feel such power. If Jian Wuque used his full strength, Lin Tian would not be able to block it.


    However, he was truly not afraid because he was waiting. Waiting did not mean he was waiting for anything else. Rather, he was waiting for the attitude of others.


    To be more precise, he was waiting for the sect head''s attitude, especially Hua Qianlong''s attitude.


    This was because he knew that Hua Qianlei would make his move.


    "Brat, I''m afraid that a great catastrophe is about to befall you this time around." Right at this moment, Hua Qianyu''s voice suddenly reached Lin Tian''s ears.


    "Isn''t Sect Master Hua going to help me?" Lin Tian faintly smiled and then asked.


    "Why should I help you?" Hua Qianlei scoffed, as if he found Lin Tian''s words somewhat inconceivable.


    "You''re not going to attack?" Lin Tian smiled and said: "But it doesn''t matter. If you don''t make a move, someone will help me." Lin Tian smiled faintly.


    "Oh, but you are very confident. Are you sure someone will help you?" Hua Qian Fang''s tone was filled with doubt as he asked Lin Tian.


    "I have confidence that Jian Wuque will not dare to touch me. If he does, and you don''t, then Palace Master Situ will also help me!" Lin Tian faintly smiled but didn''t say anything more.


    Actually, Lin Tian already had a rough understanding of the situation of these sects, which was why he was so confident.


    The other leaders of the sect, the Eternal Spring Sacred Palace, and the Emerald Sacred Valley had conflicts, but their relationship with the Sword Saint Palace wasn''t that good either.


    This was because the rankings between the six sects were fixed. Originally, Jadeite Sacred Valley was ranked first, Eternal Spring Sacred Palace was ranked second, and Sword Saint Palace was ranked third.


    For the Jadeite Sacred Valley, the only ones who could threaten their position as the first two palaces were the Changchun Sacred Palace and the Sword Saint Palace. For the Jadeite Sacred Valley, the first valley was their target, but at the same time, the development of the Sword Saint Palace was just as fierce.


    This was not what Situ Changchun wanted to see, so Lin Tian''s battle with Dugu Lang had triggered Dugu Lang''s inner demons and destroyed him. No matter how he looked at it, it was a good thing for the Changchun Palace.


    The Jadeite Sacred Valley was no exception. The loss of a saint from the Sword Saint Palace was good news for those who ranked first after them.


    Furthermore, the Cloudsoaring sect and the Emerald Holy Valley had always been close, so Lin Tian knew this better than anyone else.


    Thus, Lin Tian was confident that the victor would be within his grasp. The Eternal Spring Sacred Palace would help him and even Hua Qianlei would help him, so the only thing he could do was wait and wait for them to take the initiative to communicate with Lin Tian.


    As expected, Hua Qianyu came looking for him first.

 C501 Contention

    However, although the meaning of Hua Qianlei''s words was clear, he was absolutely convinced that Jian Wuque had truly made a move against him. He believed that the person who had acted first was definitely Hua Qianlei!


    The other two sects were just two lackeys. One was a lackey of the Changchun Sacred Palace, and the other was a lackey of the Sword Saint Palace. Therefore, they would naturally follow whatever their masters did ¡­


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became even more at ease. He once again whispered to Hua Qianyu: "Sect Head Hua, I believe you''ve already guessed my identity."


    "Your identity, you mean to say, you are the son of that little traitor Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang? However, in terms of seniority, you should call me grandmaster. " Hua Qianyu smiled. She was not surprised.


    But since it was like this, it made Lin Tian feel incredulous.


    Hua Qianlei had guessed his identity. Lin Tian had actually mentally prepared for this, but what Lin Tian hadn''t thought of was actually Hua Qianlei''s attitude.


    Hua Qianlei had only said that his mother was a traitor. From her tone, Lin Tian was unable to hear much complaint and resentment. On the contrary, there were a few seniors who were venting their dissatisfaction towards their juniors.


    "What''s wrong? Are you surprised?" Hua Qianyu smiled again.


    "Actually, I should have recognized you the first time I laid eyes on you. You''re too similar to that kid, but it wasn''t until the third day that I recognized you. It seems like, grandmaster is really old, even you can''t recognize him ¡­" Hua Qianzhu sighed and said to Lin Tian.


    "Do I look like my father?" Lin Tian was slightly startled and couldn''t help but have his heart move.


    However, he immediately suppressed the impulse in his heart. Instead, he smiled and said: "However, at this moment, as the grandteacher, do you want to resolve some trouble for me, the grandstudent?"


    Right now, Jian Wuque and Ling Wuji had been confronting each other for a while. The two of them seemed to be at loggerheads and were ready to start a big battle at any moment.


    "No worries, Jian Wuque wouldn''t dare to fight here." Hua Qianyu faintly smiled and didn''t say anything else. He directly walked onto the stage and said, "The two of you have quite the posture, but in the end, are you going to fight or not?"


    This was basically certain that the two of them would not be able to fight. That was because if these two people were to really fight, Hua Qianlei would definitely intervene to stop them. Otherwise, there would be no need for Hua Qianlei to say such words.


    "Sect Master Hua, this matter is between my Sword Saint Palace and the Virtuous Cloud Sect. I''m afraid it has nothing to do with your sect, right?" Jian Wuque''s body was like an incomparably sharp long sword. The sword qi was crisscrossing the sky, and he was filled with a powerful aura and pressure.


    "What a coincidence. That child is truly an old friend of mine. I cannot ignore his matters." Hua Qianlong pointed to Lin Tian and said indifferently.


    "Hmm?" Jian Wuque frowned, as he didn''t quite understand what Hua Qianlei meant. Was this Hua Qianlong really going to protect this kid?


    Hua Qianlei had indeed been on guard against him, and had thought that Hua Qianlei would say something. If they were to fight in their Emerald Holy Valley, it would affect their Emerald Holy Valley, but who would have thought that Hua Qianfeng would actually say that he had an old relationship with this guy? This was a little strange, what exactly did Hua Qianlei mean by that?


    While they were still in shock, Situ Changchun, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up, "Everyone, calm down! This is just a fight between disciples. It won''t look good if we, the old guys, show ourselves. After all, these kids are all watching!"


    Although Situ Changchun''s words did not mean that he would side with anyone, the only effect was that he would side with Lin Tian.


    Moreover, as Situ Changchun spoke, he had already taken a few steps forward. Of course, his body carried an aura akin to the spring wind and rain, instantly neutralizing the monstrous sword aura of Jian Wuque. The sword aura that Lin Tian''s body originally felt as if it had been cut apart, had now completely disappeared.


    "Hmm?" Jian Wuque''s expression turned even colder. He hadn''t thought that this would actually be an unexpected gain.


    He had originally thought that probing Hua Qianyu would achieve his goal, but he hadn''t thought that it would be Situ Changchun in the end. He hadn''t expected him to trick him into doing so as well.


    But thinking about it, Jian Wuque finally understood. That old thing Situ Changchun must''ve been afraid that their Palace of Sword Saints would grow too fast and affect their Changchun Palace sooner or later. That old thing was truly crafty!


    However, Jian Wuque was already satisfied with this result.


    After all, this time, his goal had been accomplished. It was just that it was a pity for Dugu Lang.


    However, it was fine if he was a crippled genius.


    Jian Wuque gave a cold snort. Then, he looked towards Lin Tian: "I never expected that you, boy, would have such an incredible ability. You actually managed to have all these experts protect you. I''ve underestimated you!"


    "Lin Tian has remembered the sword sect master''s humiliation today. In the future, he will definitely return it!" Lin Tian faintly smiled. From his tone, anyone could hear his confidence.


    "Good, I want to see how far you, a qilin from the Virtuous Cloud Sect, will grow in the future!" Jian Wuque ferociously waved his sleeve and pulled Dugu Lang away. Then, he coldly snorted and directly left.


    Dugu Lang had already been defeated, and there was no longer any need for him to stay here, because of the remaining ten people, there were two from the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect, and two from the Eternal Spring Saint Palace. The Emerald Saint Valley had already taken four seats, which was already considered eight seats, while the rest of the Star Sea Saint Sect and the Mysterious Heaven Saint Sect each took one.


    Originally, he had placed great hopes on Dugu Lang, but unfortunately, Dugu Lang had disappointed him. Of course, there was another disciple who had a chance to challenge the ten names list.


    With Jian Wuque''s departure, he had also brought along a group of Sword Saint Palace disciples.


    The scene instantly became silent. All of the disciples were silent. They, the disciples, did not even have the chance to interrupt a conversation between experts!


    "Continue!" Hua Qianfeng roared coldly.


    The next round of challenges continued.

 C502 Argument over!

    The Challenger League continued to proceed in an orderly manner, but no one dared to challenge Lin Tian again.


    It had to be known that this time, they had personally seen Lin Tian personally destroy Dugu Lang with a single palm. With such an expert and level of strength, who would dare challenge Lin Tian to a death?


    With this, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief and started to watch the Challenger League with interest.


    Li Wu Huan was challenged by a few experts, but in the end, in less than a hundred moves, all those experts were defeated by Li Wu Huan.


    The physique of his Great Dao Body had completely erupted. All sorts of abilities were displayed in front of the crowd, causing them to be unable to take their eyes off it.


    In this way, Lin Tian became even more excited, one must know, Li Wu Huan had said before that Du Feng''s Heavenly Dao Body was a hundred times stronger than his Great Way of Body. If Du Feng could truly find a method and method to completely develop his physique, then what would happen.


    On the other hand, he was looking forward to Du Feng''s growth.


    However, what made Lin Tian even more astonished was Hua Ruyi''s growth.


    Hua Ruyi''s rate of growth was simply astonishing. Right now, she was already at the seventh level of the Manifestation stage.


    One must know that a few days ago, Hua Ruyi was only at the third level of the Manifestation stage!


    In just three or four days, Ruoyi managed to grow four levels in succession.


    This was equivalent to Hua Ruyi being able to advance to the first layer in a single day.


    This terrifying speed of advancement made even Lin Tian feel a little afraid. He even suspected that Hua Ruoyi had used a special method to enlighten her, allowing her to cultivate at such a rapid speed.


    But of course, the most important thing was to be able to find a suitable cultivation technique based on one''s physique. As the naturally bewitching Hua Ruyi, she had previously said that Hua Qianlei had specially developed a cultivation technique based on her physique.


    Because of this, Hua Ruyi''s strength had improved by leaps and bounds.


    Of course, the only thing that was brought about by the increase in strength was the rise in one''s battle prowess.


    Hua Ruyi''s opponents, almost all of them were instantly killed within 10 moves. Some of them couldn''t even withstand a single move from Hua Ruyi, and were defeated!


    Even if Lin Tian saw it with his eyes, if he fought against Hua Ruyi, he would basically not be able to defeat her in ten moves.


    Of course, Lin Tian definitely wouldn''t lose.


    This was because Lin Tian''s methods were far more plentiful than Hua Ruyi''s. Moreover, if he really went all out, Hua Ruyi would definitely not be his opponent.


    The other battles also began in succession. It had to be said that as a spectator, Lin Tian also learned a lot from this.


    Among them, there was a disciple who was proficient in footwork martial arts. Lin Tian was able to gain some insights from his footwork martial arts. After that, he could try it and add it to his own God Transforming Steps.


    Not long after, the battle finally came to an end and the final result was out.


    There wasn''t much of a change in the quota of ten people. Lin Tian, Hua Ruyi, and Li Wu Huan were all still there.


    But at the same time, the ranking competition also began.


    The ranking competition was all for the sake of ranking.


    The rules for the ranking competition was also the Challenger League, but the Challenger League was extremely quick. The reason was very simple, because in the Challenger League, they had a clear understanding of each other''s strength. Unless there were some people who were very confident in their own strength, they would challenge them.


    On the other hand, Lin Tian was happy to relax. After all, if no one challenged him, he wouldn''t need to spend so much effort to fight for the position of chief.


    But in the middle, there was a small episode. It was Hua Ruyi''s challenge, who would have thought that Hua Ruyi would unexpectedly choose to challenge Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was slightly surprised and thought he misheard, but he didn''t think that in the end it would actually be so. Hua Ruo Yi chose to challenge Lin Tian.


    This match had also attracted the attention of many people. After all, one of them was a saint from the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, a genius who had been buried under snow.


    As for the other one, it wasn''t much weaker. Hua Ruyi was another genius Holy Maiden that had appeared in the Emerald Holy Valley over the years, so her strength naturally couldn''t be underestimated.


    Even Ling Wuji and Hua Qianfeng were interested in this battle and wanted to see what kind of sparks could be produced when these two fought.


    However, they were disappointed.


    Lin Tian was practically strolling leisurely in the middle of his battle with Hua Ruyi. This basically proved that Lin Tian''s strength far surpassed Hua Ruyi''s. Right now, Lin Tian was only giving way to Hua Ruyi.


    Hua Ruyi also felt that Lin Tian had not used all his strength, so she began to hit him. She felt that it was a bit boring and directly admitted defeat and gave up on the challenge.


    In this way, the final rankings of all six sects'' competitions would be announced.


    The ten participants of the Zhen Wu Ceremony had also been completely selected.


    Lin Tian monopolized the leader position and already became the captain of these ten people.


    They would also represent the Western Spirit Region to compete against the other geniuses from the various great regions.


    The True Martial World had four great domains. They were the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the Western Spirit Realm, the Demon Spirit Realm, and the Chaotic Spirit Realm.


    The Celestial domain''s influence was the strongest. It was also the law enforcement pavilion of the True Martial World, where the True Martial Pavilion resided.


    True Martial Pavilion was a colossus that commanded almost the entire Zhen Wu Jie.


    The Zhen Wu Pavilion was responsible for hosting the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony this time.


    Demon Spirit Realm was the gathering place of the demon clan. Almost all the demon clan members lived there, and their strength was no different from that of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    As for the Chaos Spirit Realm, that was the territory of the barbarians.


    The Ancestral Dragon opened the heaven and earth, establishing the universe. It created the three races of man, demon, and barbarian.


    Therefore, the barbarians were also the descendants of dragons. However, their heritage was extremely barbaric and their methods were mostly primitive.


    Therefore, the Chaos Spirit Realm was almost the weakest Spirit Realm in the Zhen Wu Jie.


    They did not have to worry about that.


    The West Spirit Realm was where the six great sects were located. All of the forces within the West Spirit Realm were average, neither strong nor weak.


    That was to say that they could not defeat the Monster race, nor could they defeat the experts from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. However, they had to defeat the Berserker Tribe. After all, this was a matter of face, so the pressure on Lin Tian and the others this time was also enormous.


    Moreover, he was the chief of the Six Sects'' duels, so Hua Qianlei and the others had even more harsh requirements towards Lin Tian. However, other disciples did not know about this, because Hua Qianlei and the other sect masters had personally summoned Lin Tian.

 C503 Test

    Towards Lin Tian''s request, the various sect heads only said one thing.


    It turned out that every Spirit Territory in the True Martial Grand Ceremony would choose the most powerful expert in their respective Spirit Territory to be the chief of a region.


    And this chief was going to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony, and that was the fight for the position of chief of the True Martial.


    In other words, the strongest experts of each Spirit Realm would be chosen to compete with each other and the true leaders of the Zhen Wu Jie would be chosen.


    After all, this time, all of the powerful experts had gathered at the True Martial Pavilion.


    The next morning, the sect heads and the selected ten disciples gathered together.


    Hua Qianfang explained the details to everyone first, but this time, he only did so in detail.


    After talking for a while, a strong power fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky. It seemed as if the entire space had been torn apart. Soon, a black shadow drilled out from the fluctuation of the space.


    "Welcome, Honorable Envoy!" At this moment, the five sect leaders bowed towards the black figure.


    The other disciples also followed suit and bowed.


    "You are too kind, my lords." That person was quite friendly, but he was still wearing a mask, making people unable to see his appearance clearly. They could only hear his voice.


    "On the orders of the pavilion master, I have come to welcome the various sect masters and geniuses. Please come up." As the black-clothed man spoke, a tiny flying boat suddenly drilled out from his sleeve.


    However, after coming out of that person''s sleeve, that flying boat suddenly became larger.


    The enormous flying vessel could hold over a hundred people.


    With a light leap, the five great sect masters arrived on the flying boat. At the same time, those disciples were also carried on the flying boat by them.


    On the flying boat, there were many large cabins. The interior was exquisite and comfortable.


    After everyone had stood still, the man in black said, "If everyone is ready, we will set off immediately."


    Hua Qianyu cupped his fists and said, "If that''s the case, then I''ll have to trouble you."


    As he spoke, the flying boat had already begun to move. The gigantic flying boat was extremely sturdy and its flying speed was extremely quick. However, everyone in the cabin did not feel any turbulence and it was extremely stable.


    Hua Qianyu and the other sect masters were currently conversing with the man in black. The remaining ten disciples were in a single cabin, conversing with each other.


    Lin Tian looked around at the others and discovered that everyone''s face was flushed red. It was clear that they were extremely excited.


    Even Lin Tian was slightly excited. After all, this time, they weren''t going to face any weaklings. But those who could attend the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony were all rare geniuses.


    Fighting with these geniuses made Lin Tian very excited.


    However, after a short period of time, that black-clothed person actually walked in with the other sect leaders. That black-clothed person said to the crowd, "Everyone, we will be arriving soon. Please make your preparations."


    Lin Tian and the others still didn''t understand what he meant.


    But in the next moment, they found out.


    The entire flying boat immediately began to violently shake.


    It was as if something was blocking the flying boat.


    "Kacha, kacha." Not long after, waves of such sounds suddenly came from the flying boat. It sounded extremely frightening.


    "What''s going on?" At this time, a disciple suddenly exclaimed.


    Facing such a change, Lin Tian also had some doubts in his heart.


    But in the next moment, he seemed to have understood something. Without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Not good, this flying boat is about to collapse ¡­"


    The expressions of all the disciples changed. They never would have thought that this flying boat that came to receive them would be so weak. It was about to collapse at this moment.


    However, at this moment, the black-clothed man and the few sect masters suddenly disappeared from the flying boat.


    "Don''t panic!" Lin Tian loudly roared.


    At this moment, the disciples were in an abnormal state of panic. Their faces were filled with fear. They had been outside before, so they naturally knew how high this flying boat was.


    At this height, if the flying boat collapsed and fell down, even if he didn''t die, he would at least be half crippled.


    They never imagined that they would be tricked by this flying boat before they even reached the True Martial Pavilion.


    Especially after the five grand masters and the black-clothed man had all disappeared, they all felt that they had lost their backbone and had fallen into chaos.


    "I told you, don''t panic!" At this moment, he seemed to already know what was going on.


    If he did not guess wrongly, this change right now should also be a test.


    That was to test whether these disciples had the ability to react in time and were able to quickly stay calm in the worst case scenario to find a way to escape.


    After all, such a high distance wasn''t something to be trifled with.


    This was why Lin Tian wanted them to remain calm, because once they panicked, everything would be over.


    "What should we do?" At this time, Li Wu Huan and Hua Ruoyi also turned to look at Lin Tian.


    Right now, they could only rely on Lin Tian.


    Under Lin Tian''s angry roar, everyone else also quickly calmed down.


    They also knew that Lin Tian was their pillar of support.


    After all, Lin Tian was the captain.


    Lin Tian coldly roared at the crowd: "If, next up, there are still people who won''t listen to my words, I will guarantee that before falling to their deaths, I will kill them first!"


    When these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.


    They had all seen Lin Tian''s strength, so they naturally knew that Lin Tian was definitely not joking. So they all looked towards Lin Tian, wanting to know if Lin Tian had a way to help them escape.


    "The flying boat has collapsed, but the wreckage will not disintegrate. All of you, hold my hand!" Lin Tian thought for a bit and had an idea in his heart.


    He quickly made the arrangements. Each disciple could only rely on Lin Tian and did as he was told.


    Before long, the ten of them had formed a row.


    "Kacha, kacha ¡­" The speed at which the flying boat was collapsing became faster and faster. Not long after, the original cabins were all broken into pieces. Lin Tian''s right hand directly grabbed a half of the cabin''s corpse. The others grabbed onto Lin Tian''s right hand and floated in the air.


    In the next moment, with a thought from Lin Tian, the dragon scale spear was like a long dragon, fiercely smashing towards the ground.


    Suddenly, a huge support force came from the ground. This support force firmly held them up and caused their landing speed to decrease rapidly.


    Originally, there were ten people in the cabin, and the speed of their descent was extremely fast. However, right now, the speed of their descent was greatly reduced when the force of the fall was neutralized.


    Not only that, the dragon scale spear once again smashed towards the ground. Immediately, numerous huge supporting forces continuously surged up from the ground, firmly supporting everyone. This cycle continued, and before long, they steadily landed on the ground.


    After which, one flying boat after another fell to the ground, creating large craters in the ground.


    Everyone looked at the huge craters with lingering fear in their hearts, but their hearts were still in a state of turmoil.


    If they had really fallen down from that high, they would have already become a pool of bloody mud.


    Luckily there was still Lin Tian!


    Everyone sent a grateful gaze towards Lin Tian. At this time, there was no one who was unconvinced of Lin Tian. Unknowingly, everyone had already begun to have Lin Tian as their leader.

 C504 Holy ruins

    "Not bad, this kid is quite capable. He was able to think of such a solution in such a short period of time. Good!" While everyone was still in a state of shock, there were a few pairs of eyes watching them out of nowhere.


    And the one who spoke was none other than the man in black from before.


    He never would have thought that Lin Tian would find a solution in such a short amount of time.


    Lin Tian guessed correctly. This was a trial, a test of the disciples'' reactions upon encountering something.


    Now it seemed like this brat called Lin Tian was not bad.


    As the guide of True Martial Pavilion, the other two spiritual realms, Demon Spirit Domain, and Chaos Spirit Realm demons and barbarians all had extremely poor reactions.


    The Monster race could be considered quite good. After all, they had the body of a monster, especially some that could fly in the sky or flee in the earth. They were completely unafraid of falling from the sky.


    However, the barbarians couldn''t do anything about it. They were like a pile of loose sand. No barbarian would choose to obey another barbarian.


    Therefore, all of them were fighting on their own and didn''t have the slightest cooperation with the barbarians. Therefore, many barbarians were saved by them, apart from some extremely powerful barbarians.


    This was a test, so naturally, he wouldn''t let these disciples who came before him be harmed in any way.


    It all depended on their reactions and whether they could find a solution for themselves.


    Unfortunately, at least in his heart, the Monster race and the barbarian race were both unqualified.


    On the other hand, this human brat from the Western Spiritual Region was not bad.


    When the other sect masters saw this, they relaxed.


    Lin Tian''s reaction was completely outside of their expectations.


    The man in black from before had talked to them alone about arranging this test.


    Originally, they were somewhat worried about these disciples, but now, it seemed that this little bit of worry was completely unnecessary.


    At this time, Ling Wuji was also deeply looking at Lin Tian. His heart was filled with shock, he knew that not only was Lin Tian''s strength tyrannical, but this brat''s scheming and wisdom were also peerless.


    But today, Ling Wuji suddenly saw something else from Lin Tian''s body.


    The demeanor of a king!


    When a person reaches the pinnacle of strength, he can only become an overlord and completely rely on his strength to conquer other people. However, this is only for a short period of time, because there will always be talented people from all over, and there will always be people stronger than you who will stand out, defeat you, and then replace you.


    However, kings were different. True kings were never just strong, they were unparalleled in intelligence.


    To have strength and be able to scheme against peerless people, Ling Wuji could only see one person, and that was Lin Tian.


    It seemed that he had chosen this kid to be a saint. If this kid became the sect head of the Heaven''s Firmament Sacred Sect as he wished, there would be no need to worry about the Heaven''s Firmament Sacred Sect not getting excited.


    Kirin''s child, Lin Tian was the same!


    Hua Qianyu and the others also looked at Lin Tian in astonishment.


    They already knew Lin Tian''s strength, but today, they saw Lin Tian''s other side. And on this side, they didn''t only rely on brute force to conquer others, but also on their own demeanor.


    They completely believed that if Lin Tian did not care about the others, with his strength, he could pass through this crisis. He would not take any risks.


    However, he had brought along the others and saved everyone else. This was truly an extraordinary matter.


    In such a short period of time, being able to think of such a way to deal with it and even saving everyone else, the key point was that Lin Tian''s method took a huge risk.


    Truly unparalleled.


    Lin Tian naturally did not know the crowd''s evaluation. Even if he did know, he would not care.


    He knew that this was definitely a way for everyone to test them.


    Actually, under the circumstances just now, Lin Tian had a dozen or so ways of safely passing through.


    To protect himself, of course.


    In fact, even if he wanted to protect everyone, he had a lot of ways.


    For example, he could use the power of the small grass, or he could use the power of the dragon talisman.


    However, these powers were related to Lin Tian''s secret. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Tian would not easily use them.


    After all, if this was only a test, then they, who were the black-cloaked man and the five great sect masters, would definitely be secretly spying on them.


    Lin Tian didn''t want to use these trump cards.


    Thus, he could only take the slightly risky approach from before.


    However, he was very confident in his own strength. With the Dragon Scale Spear, he would be safe.


    The result was exactly that.


    However, when they landed on the ground, everyone began to size up the area in front of them.


    This place looked like a wasteland, gloomy and terrifying. From time to time, the air seemed to emit a rotten aura and a rotten stench.


    This place is?


    Everyone looked around and saw a desolate scene with no signs of human life. The most important thing was that the man in black and the five grand masters were not here.


    Just as he was hesitating, the man in black''s voice suddenly echoed in the air.


    "Fellow students from the Western Spiritual Realm, congratulations, you have all passed the first stage. The place you are currently at is called the Holy Ruins, which is the battlefield for the great battles between saints of ancient times. Of course, it is also the battlefield for your second round of tests."


    The geniuses of the Demon Spirit Realm, as well as the barbarian experts of the Chaotic Spirit Realm, have already made it to the Holy Ruins ahead of you. It is very likely that you will meet them, remember, in the Holy Ruins, you have no friends, only your enemies. As of now, seventy-two people have entered the Holy Ruins, including the experts of the top forces of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    However, in the end, only thirty people will remain within the Ruins of Holy Light. Therefore, if you meet an enemy, you must not hold back. If you meet an enemy, you can attack and if you defeat them, they will be automatically sent out by the Ruins of Holy Light.


    With just a few words from the black-clothed person, he had already clearly explained their current situation and the circumstances. Lin Tian and the others also understood.


    This proved that the Zhen Wu Ceremony selection had begun.


    However, the first thing they had to do was to eliminate those weak individuals and leave behind the true experts so that they could obtain the qualifications to enter the Zhen Wu Ceremony.


    "Another tough battle!" Lin Tian felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.


    But at the same time, he suddenly thought of something else. Since all the people from the Demon Spirit Realm were here, then what about Yun Huang?


    Lin Tian had also asked around for this information before, but no one could tell him the exact information.


    However, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was one of the several great ancient clans within the Demon Spirit Realm. They also possessed the most powerful influence. Logically speaking, they should have the qualifications to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    If that was the case, then Yun Huang should have come.


    Lin Tian Deng became excited.


    Initially, he had been waiting for the moment he stepped into the Emperor Stage to go to the Demon Spirit Realm to look for Yun Huang. But now, it seemed that there was no need at all.


    He should be in the Holy Ruins, directly looking for Yun Huang.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian became even more excited, but another question followed. Lin Tian would definitely have to go by himself to look for Yun Huang.


    But if he left, what would happen to the rest?


    It had to be known that there were already many experts in the Holy Ruins who had arrived a step earlier than them. For them, this was quite an unfavorable situation, because the ones who had arrived first were the ones who had an understanding of the terrain.


    So they had already lost this advantage, and, on the contrary, it had become a disadvantage for them.


    Lin Tian was the strongest out of the ten of them. If they were left out and they really met a group with an extremely strong strength, it was very possible that the remaining nine disciples from the Western Spirit Region would be wiped out!


    In an instant, Lin Tian fell into a dilemma.

 C505 Redwood forest

    First, he would stay with them and wait until there were only thirty people left. Then, it was not too late for Lin Tian to find an opportunity to see Yun Huang, and in the Saint Ruins, it was very likely that he would meet Yun Huang. Although this probability wasn''t too high, it wasn''t completely impossible.


    Thinking to this point, Lin Tian did not think anymore and instead gave a few orders to the crowd, which were none other than listening to his commands and not moving alone. Right now, everyone was following Lin Tian Ma and naturally would not disobey Lin Tian''s orders, so they all nodded.


    Lin Tian did not waste any words and directly rushed forward with everyone else.


    The place they were in was a flat piece of land. It was too ostentatious. It would be better to familiarize themselves with the terrain as soon as possible and find a more suitable place to hide.


    Along the way, Lin Tian and the others formed a millstone formation around the strongest few people in the outer circle while the weaker few people in the inner circle. That way, they could prevent others from sneak attacking them and not let the weaker ones get eliminated first.


    With this, everyone began to advance at full speed.


    The Holy Ruins were extremely large. Lin Tian and the others walked there for around two days before leaving the area of flat land. They arrived at a place filled with forest.


    As this was the battlefield of ancient saints, the trees here were different from those that normally grew.


    The shrubs here were all exactly the same, and they were all extremely low in height.


    But when Lin Tian saw that it was a bush, his heart calmed down. After all, a bush was the most unsuitable place for an ambush. Presumably, there were very few people who came here.


    Since no one came, there would naturally be no traps.


    Everyone sped up immediately.


    As such, they continued to advance in this area for another two days before they finally managed to leave the vicinity of the shrubs. This time around, they had arrived at another true large forest.


    The trees here were all red, and the leaves on their leaves were blood-red, bewitching.


    At the start, when Lin Tian walked into the forest, he felt that something wasn''t quite right.


    Only when "sha sha, sha sha" sound suddenly came from the ground did Lin Tian confirm his thoughts.


    There''s something wrong with these red trees!


    Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, within Lin Tian''s Divine Palace, the grass that was originally wrapped around his soul suddenly had a reaction.


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised, then he thought: "Could it be that these redwoods have the same root as this little grass?"


    The reason why Lin Tian decided that these red trees were not the Vampiric Demonic Vine was because the Vampiric Demonic Vine could not appear in the Holy Ruins.


    If he had appeared, he would have already attracted the attention of the True Martial Pavilion.


    After all, everyone knew how terrifying the Vampiric Demonic Vine was.


    Therefore, this patch of red wood was definitely not the Vampiric Demonic Vine. However, it was actually able to cause the grass on his soul to tremble. It was likely that these red trees were of the same origin as the grass.


    Could it be that these mahogany trees had the ability to suck human blood?


    Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat and then he cut his own finger. A drop of blood that emitted a golden blood aura immediately fell from Lin Tian''s hand. Before it even landed on the ground, the red logs suddenly began to boil.


    In an instant, countless red trees extended their roots and suddenly swept towards Lin Tian.


    Moreover, countless tree roots wanted to swallow Lin Tian''s drop of blood.


    After all, Lin Tian had the body of a dragon and his blood had a unique fragrance. If these red trees could really suck in human blood, then they would naturally attract the attention of all the red trees.


    Sure enough, one move worked.


    The other disciples looked at Lin Tian with disbelief. They didn''t know why Lin Tian was doing this.


    However, in the next moment, the roots of the mahogany plants rose up from the ground and rushed towards the crowd.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly threw out a palm. This palm was not aimed at the red wood, but towards the other disciples.


    All the disciples felt a surging palm wind attack. For a moment, they didn''t react, but by the time they reacted, Lin Tian''s palm wind had already blasted them out of the range of the Red Wood.


    They returned to the area where the bush had been.


    Only Lin Tian was left, still standing in the domain of the red wood.


    Everyone didn''t understand what Lin Tian meant, but in the next moment, what happened caused them all to be dumbstruck.


    "Lin Tian!"


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Lin!"


    "Lin Tian!"


    All the disciples cried out in alarm.


    Because at that time, they already saw that the red wood actually rose up from the ground. One huge tree root after another completely wrapped around Lin Tian.


    However, after these disciples rushed out of the Red Wood''s range, the Red Wood that was originally chasing them and trying to wrap them up started to retreat. It was as if the attacking range of the Red Wood was only within that area.


    Lin Tian had sent out a palm strike at them, but he himself remained in the area of the red wood and did not step out again.


    Just a moment ago, Lin Tian had dropped a drop of blood, but they did not know what it meant. But now, they could no longer understand that this red wood should be able to absorb human blood.


    Then, at this time, Lin Tian was actually wrapped up by those redwoods. The result was naturally obvious.


    Hua Ruyi almost couldn''t control the impulse in her heart. Just as she was about to rush in, suddenly, Lin Tian''s voice came from the redwood forest.


    "Stay outside and don''t give me any trouble. I can handle all of this myself. I''ll be out in two hours." Lin Tian''s voice was unspeakably calm, but it also contained an unquestionable meaning.


    Hua Ruyi''s body suddenly froze on the spot, but she didn''t go back in.


    At this moment, Lin Tian was enjoying this feeling.


    He was able to tell that the red wood sucked human blood, so he determined that the red wood and the Vampiric Demonic Vine were of the same origin. However, the red wood''s power and growth space was far inferior to the Vampiric Demonic Vine.


    But just now, Little Grass also had a reaction and even gave Lin Tian a trace of thought. That was, this kind of thing seemed to be useful to it.


    Thus, Lin Tian did not hesitate and directly sent them out with a palm.


    Indeed, with these people around, it was a burden for him. He didn''t want everyone to know about Little Grass''s secret, so when he sent those people out and the red wood wrapped around him, he didn''t fight back.


    Instead, he let the roots wrap around him.


    However, at this time, the small grass was already standing between Lin Tian''s eyebrows. With the small grass''s protection, those roots did not dare to approach Lin Tian. It was as if they were extremely afraid of the small grass.


    Lin Tian looked at these roots and the corner of his mouth revealed an indescribable smile.


    These mahogany trees were a form of greeting gift. He had been worrying about how to feed these little grasses, but who would have thought that the little grasses'' food would be available as soon as he arrived in the Holy Ruins.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian did not hesitate in the slightest and directly rushed deeper in.


    These red trees were the same as the Vampiric Demonic Vine, having a mother root. Right now, this large forest was all formed from a mother root.


    What the small grass wanted to devour was naturally the mother root. The mother root should be in the depths of this redwood forest.


    With the protection of the small grass, Lin Tian madly charged forward and began to search for the mother root of the Red Wood Forest.


    But Lin Tian''s actions caused the entire Redwood Forest to become irritable. The entire Holy Ruins'' land began to rumble, as if confirming that a change was happening somewhere in the Holy Ruins.

 C506 Wind and clouds!

    At the same time, everyone else in the Holy Ruins sensed the changes.


    Holy Ruins, in an unknown canyon.


    One by one, the disciples who were half naked suddenly felt that something was wrong.


    One of the disciples who was in the lead suddenly stood up and cursed in a low voice, "Witch, laozi has been waiting here for such a long time and not a single birdman has come. What are you waiting for? Go f * cking look for them!"


    The other disciples did not say anything and quickly began to move.


    They wore dark red clothes that matched well with the dark red canyon.


    However, on their sleeves, there was an enormous fist.


    If Lin Tian saw these people, it wouldn''t be hard for him to guess their identities. These people were the disciples of one of the nine sects in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the Titan God School.


    The Herculean Sect was famous for its immense strength. It was a typical body cultivator.


    They were one of the first sects to come to the Holy Ruins. After coming here, they had been waiting here the entire time. It was a pity that no one had ambushed them.


    This time around, they had all noticed what was happening within the Redwood Forest and wanted to take a look.


    Find an opportunity to eliminate those trash first.


    At the same time, somewhere near a swamp.


    Black clothed disciples suddenly appeared one after another. They had also been waiting here for too long, but unfortunately, no one had come.


    "Senior-apprentice Brother Ouyang, there seems to be some movement in front of the redwood forest. Why don''t we go take a look? I heard that the people from the Western Spirit Region have arrived. I think it should be them." One of the disciples said to the disciple in the lead.


    "That''s fine too. My Shadow Sect''s assassination techniques should be able to display their full potential in the Holy Ruins. We shouldn''t be waiting here. Let''s go!" The leading disciple called Senior Brother Ouyang said.


    The group of people quickly got up and headed in the direction of Lin Tian''s group.


    At the same time, the disciples of the Sky Demon Clan gathered near a pond.


    There were the Heavenly Serpent Clan and Heavenly Wolf Clan. These top demonic beast disciples had come. Of course, there were also other extremely powerful demon beast geniuses.


    Of course, Yun Huang was also amongst them.


    Only, at this moment, Yun Huang''s brow twitched. She immediately felt a burning pain between her eyebrows.


    However, Yun Huang was suddenly overjoyed. Her heartbeat quickened: "Is it him, has he come?"


    As soon as Lin Tian''s drop of blood dripped out, Yun Huang sensed Lin Tian''s existence.


    Actually, the dragon race and the phoenix race were a natural match, and there was an extremely subtle connection and connection between them.


    Only, right now, Lin Tian''s strength was becoming more and more powerful, and the dragon aura in his body was also being restrained.


    Thus, when Lin Tian came in earlier, Yun Huang did not sense it. However, when Lin Tian''s blood flowed out, she immediately sensed it.


    "Child, I''m finally going to see your father again. Do you look forward to the moment you meet your father? I wonder how that fool will react ¡­" Yun Huang thought emotionally.


    But at this moment, the other genius suddenly stood up and said, "I''ve finally found you, and I thought you would never appear again. Jiang Fan is just a piece of trash, it''s not a pity that he died, but my Heavenly Serpent Clan is the Nine Infants of the greater demons, and actually died in the hands of a human. This is the shame of our Heavenly Serpent Clan, today, let our blood wash away the shame of our Heavenly Serpent Clan!"


    This genius of the Sky Serpent Clan was called Jiang Feng. He was a famous genius of the Sky Serpent Clan.


    He also had an older brother who was a thousand miles behind him. His name was Jiang Fan.


    If Lin Tian and Hua Ruoyi were here, they would naturally know Jiang Feng''s identity.


    This was because the brother Jiang Fan that Jiang Feng spoke of had taken a fancy to Hua Ruyi, but he was ultimately the Jiang Fan from the Heavenly Serpent Clan that Lin Tian had killed.


    Jiang Fan''s strength was extremely weak, but he was still a member of the Sky Serpent Clan. When Jiang Fan''s grandfather Jiang Wuji found out that Jiang Fan had died, he immediately sent countless experts to investigate this matter, but there was no news about him. However, in the area where Jiang Fan and Lin Tian were battling, he obtained a trace of Lin Tian''s aura.


    The reason why Jiang Feng had come this time was actually to see if one of the geniuses chosen by the six great sects of the Western Spiritual Realm had killed Jiang Fan.


    A person who could kill Jiang Fan would definitely not be able to hold him back in Tian Luo Kingdom. At the very least, he could be considered a genius, and would eventually arrive at the Six Great Sacred Sects.


    Jiang Feng actually didn''t hold much hope.


    However, he did not expect to stumble upon such an aura.


    It was an unexpected gain.


    And at the same time, a certain demon clan genius suddenly spoke up: "I heard from my elders that the Sacred Ruins is the battlefield of an ancient Great Sage, and among them is the Great Sage of my demon clan, so there might be some treasures of my demon clan within the Sacred Ruins, and this strange event originated from the Red Wood Forest. Could it be that there is some treasure that has appeared in the world?"


    When these words left his mouth, all the demonic clan disciples became interested.


    The treasure of the Great Sage of the demon race was indeed extraordinary just by thinking about it.


    The movement speed of the Monster race was still extremely fast.


    They moved as soon as they heard the word ''move''. They either flew into the sky or fled towards the ground. Each of them used their divine abilities and quickly headed in the direction of the Redwood Forest.


    At the same time, in a rocky area, two meters tall and with the appearance of a human, there were all kinds of demon race gathering here.


    This was one of the three great tribes of the barbarian race.


    The Berserkers were known as Berserkers. At this moment, the Berserkers were constantly walking around. However, every step they took caused the entire ground to rumble.


    "I heard that there is a sect in the Heavenly Spirit Realm called the Titan Sect that cultivates the body of humans." I heard that there is a sect in the Heavenly Spirit Realm called the Titan Sect that cultivates the body of humans. The leader of the Berserkers said.


    The other Berserkers nodded.


    Just now, when the Redwood Forest was moving strangely, they had also noticed it. After the Berserker in the lead finished his sentence, he shouted at the crowd of Berserkers: "That movement just now must have been caused by the human race. Those who are not afraid of death, come with me! Beat up the human race and trample the demon race under our feet. Let them know that the barbarians are the true descendants of the dragon race! "That''s the true successor of our Dragon clan. The title of Emperor Di Jiang is with us!"


    "Lord Di Jiang, the barbarians will protect your honor and honor with your life and blood. Please grant me courage, strength, and hope!" The barbarians started to chant in a low voice before they set off. It seemed as if they were praying and offering sacrifices to the barbarians.


    Not long after that, the activity within the Redwood Forest grew more and more intense, and as a result, it alarmed everyone within the Holy Ruins, the demons, and the three barbarians. At this time, countless disciples within the Holy Ruins began to move as fast as they could, almost as if everyone was rushing towards the Redwood Forest.


    A commotion caused by Lin Tian quickly began to ferment and in the end it became the eve of a storm.


    The Holy Ruins were in a state of upheaval.

 C507 Elderberry?

    At this time, Lin Tian''s figure was rapidly dashing through the Redwood Forest.


    Since he knew that the mother root of the redwood was useful for his little grass, Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t let it go so easily.


    Especially now, the growth speed of the grass was faster than before.


    If Lin Tian did not find enough nutrients to solve the problem of the small grass''s food, could it be that the small grass would become a Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine and absorb human blood?


    In that case, what was the difference between Lin Tian and those demons?


    Relying on his own blood was not a long shot, because if the grass grew faster and faster, the requirement for Lin Tian''s blood would also increase.


    Lin Tian didn''t want to die because he didn''t have enough life. He was just sucked to death by this small grass ¡­


    Thus, if he found food that the grass could eat, Lin Tian would naturally give it his all.


    He completely released his spiritual power out. He began to feel where the mother root of the Redwood Forest was.


    The area of the Redwood Forest was extremely large. With Lin Tian''s extreme speed, he arrived at the center of the forest and spent quite a bit of time.


    Like a tentacle, his Mental Energy frantically searched for the mother root of the red wood.


    Just as Lin Tian was crazily searching for the mother root, at this moment, the disciples that were originally there had suddenly arrived in front of the Redwood Forest.


    The first to arrive was naturally the demons.


    Many demi-humans could fly in the sky or escape into the ground. Their methods were extremely terrifying, so naturally, they were the fastest.


    "Hahaha, as expected of a human from the Western Spiritual Region!" When he saw Li Wu Huan and her entourage, a Tiger Race genius burst into laughter with a trace of cruelty in his voice.


    "Where''s Lin Tian?" Yun Huang was currently looking at the nine people with a puzzled face. She carefully searched for them, but she did not see Lin Tian''s figure.


    But how could that be possible? She had clearly felt Lin Tian''s aura just now and there was an extremely unique connection between her and Lin Tian. So she couldn''t be completely wrong.


    Just as Yun Huang was about to speak, Jiang Feng of the Sky Serpent Race suddenly said coldly: "You must be the humans from the Western Spiritual Realm. Let me ask you, aren''t there ten of you who should be here? There should be one more person."


    Jiang Feng was also a bit upset because he didn''t see Lin Tian''s figure.


    After all, he had originally come for Lin Tian, but Lin Tian wasn''t here. This made him very angry.


    "Monster race?" When these demon clan members arrived, Li Wuhui''s heart tightened.


    Currently, Lin Tian was no longer, in the ranking competition, the second was Hua Ruyi, and the third was him.


    So, if Lin Tian wasn''t among the ten people now, then the two of them could be considered as the backbone.


    However, he had to face off against a demon. He was also a bit nervous.


    The five grand masters had told them that the barbarians would be easy to deal with. If not, they could join hands with the disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Realm to deal with the barbarians.


    After all, the barbarians had the greatest ambition. They wanted to turn humans and demons into slaves.


    Therefore, he didn''t need to tell them about his reputation.


    However, the Monster race was not so easy to deal with.


    There were many experts in the Monster race, and they were all in an alliance. In a battle between a human and a demon, they would at least suffer some losses.


    Thus, their best advice to these disciples was to try their best to avoid any conflict with the demon race.


    These disciples would not be a match for those demon clan disciples.


    Therefore, when Li Wu Huan saw the arrival of these demon clan members, a bitter expression appeared on his face. This was something that they couldn''t stop. These demon clan members came looking for him. What could they do?


    He was also very desperate.


    At this moment, Li Wu Huan''s gaze turned towards Hua Ruyi. As expected, Hua Ruyi was also at a loss as to what to do.


    Although her strength had improved very quickly, she had never encountered such a grand occasion. Thus, when other demi-human geniuses came looking for her, she didn''t have any ideas.


    However, Jiang Feng''s temper flared up and he once again roared furiously at the crowd, "I''m asking you a question, are you all deaf? Where''s the other person, where did he go?"


    There were only nine people here, and just now, he really did feel Lin Tian''s aura, so the person that wasn''t here was the person he was looking for!


    That was why he had to force the crowd to reveal Lin Tian''s whereabouts.


    However, when Li Wu Huan heard this, she also understood that these demon clan members were most likely coming for Lin Tian.


    This demi-human kept asking about Lin Tian''s whereabouts.


    This immediately attracted Li Wu Huan''s attention.


    Could it be that Lin Tian had a grudge with the demon race?


    When he thought of this, Li Wu Huan knew, and even more so, she could not reveal any trace of Lin Tian.


    Just as he was about to teach these people a lesson, a mocking laughter suddenly came from not far away, "I didn''t expect that these demon clan bastards would get to the top first. Eh, wait, there are humans, oh, who am I, it turns out that I am a human from a remote region like the Western Spirit Region. Why, have I been bullied by these beasts?


    At this moment, everyone''s attention was drawn to the words of the person who had just arrived.


    They wanted to know who exactly was it that dared to call demi-humans beasts.


    Demonic beasts were different from demonic beasts. Only those that had reached the realm of a beast king could take human form. However, demons were born in human form and could take the form of a beast.


    This was their taboo.


    Therefore, after that voice had been heard, all of the demons burst into a rage. They turned around and looked at the person who had just arrived.


    "It''s someone from the Nine Pylons!" At this moment, Li Wuhuan immediately recognized the origins of those people.


    These people were disciples of one of the nine great sects of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the Nine Pylons.


    The leader of the group was a disciple whom Li Wuchuan had met before. His name was Gai Jiutian, and he was a first-rate genius.


    He was a very arrogant and uninhibited person, and Li Wu Huan was not surprised that he could say such words.


    When those demon clan members saw the newcomers, their faces were gloomy and cold. However, they didn''t have any intention of attacking directly.


    The nine great sects of the Heaven''s Spirit Realm were united. Although there were times when there was competition between them, the nine great sects didn''t hesitate when dealing with the Monster race and the barbarian race.


    Thus, at this time, if the people from the other sects had arrived, then it was certain that they would also come one after another.


    Just as he was thinking this, a group of half-naked men suddenly rushed over from afar. Not only did the leader charge forward, but he also shouted loudly, "F * ck me, Gai Jiutian, why the f * ck are you always in front of me!"

 C508 Nine orifices

    "People from the Titan Sect?" At this moment, Li Wu Huan recognized the identities of those people.


    These were the people from the Great Strength Divine Sect who had felt Lin Tian stir in the Redwood Forest and quickly rushed over.


    The one leading them was the chief disciple of the Titan God School, named Jiang Dali.


    Geng Jiuyou also saw Jiang Dali. He didn''t look too pleased either. He turned around and shouted at Jiang Dali, "You son of a b * tch! By the time you get here, the yellow flowers would have turned cold. Where are those animals?"


    Jiang Li paused for a second before frowning, "F * ck, when did you learn to speak like your old man did? When did you learn to scold like that?"


    "Every time I meet you, I''m either your father or your mother. I''m infected by you!"


    Only then did Jiang Dali come to a realization. He asked, "Then what''s going on right now? What are these beasts planning to do?"


    "Huh?" Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Dali suddenly noticed Li Wuhuan and the others. He then said, "These are the countryside bumpkins from the Western Spiritual Region?"


    When Jiang Li saw the group of people before him, he more or less understood what was going on. Just as he was about to say something ¡­


    The sound of hurried footsteps sounded out from nearby.


    There was no need to think too much about it, someone else must have come.


    "Empyrean Wuliang, Fellow Daoist Gai, Fellow Daoist Jiang, we meet again!" At this moment, that group of people also arrived from afar. Those disciples were all wearing Daoist robes, so there was no need to mention that they were the disciples of the Heavenly Law School.


    As for the person who spoke, it was also the person who greeted Gai Jiuyou and Jiang Dali. He was the chief disciple of the Heaven''s Path Sect, the Dao Spirit.


    "Bullnose, damn you, laozi, you''re here. Then, those bald donkeys should be right behind you. You''re so unlucky, why do laozi keep coming across you guys?" Jiang Dali said sarcastically.


    "Infinite Blessing to the Supreme, Fellow Jiang is wrong. We hurried here because we saw some strange activity in the Redwood Forest. I wonder where Fellow Shiyan is ¡­" The spirit explained.


    Jiang Dali tactfully covered his ears. He had interacted with this bunch of bullies and those bald donkeys. Let''s not talk about their abilities for now. Just their constant talking was enough to bore you to death.


    Jiang Dali''s favorite thing was actual combat, not the chanting of spells. Therefore, when Jiang Dali saw them, he subconsciously avoided them.


    "Amitabha, Almsgiver Gai, Almsgiver Dao Spirit, Almsgiver Jiang, this humble monk greets you!" Before the Dao Spirit''s voice faded away, a buddhist chant was transmitted from nearby. Accompanying the buddhist chant was a group of monks wearing tattered monastic robes.


    "Son of a b * tch, I knew that wherever there is a group of cowards, there will be a group of bald donkeys!" Jiang Dali pulled a few of his sect''s disciples and quickly retreated, afraid that they would be tainted by bad luck.


    As for that group of people, they were none other than the disciples of one of the nine great sects of Buddha, the Blessed Buddha Sect.


    ShiYan quickly arrived in front of everyone, but he didn''t say anything. After greeting everyone just now, he stood there motionlessly.


    "Nine Pylons, Heaven''s Path Sect, Herculean God School, Extreme Blessed Buddha Sect ¡­" In the blink of an eye, half of the nine top-ranked sects in the Heavenly Spirit Realm had already gathered here.


    Moreover, this time, the head disciples, dao holders, and buddhas all came.


    "Everyone, long time no see. I really miss you all!" "Hahaha." Just at this moment, another voice came from the distance. This voice was sudden and low, distant and close. In the next moment, those people who were supposed to be over ten miles away suddenly appeared in front of everyone.


    "The size of an inch of land is within a square inch of a square inch of land. It has been a long time since I''ve seen my friends from the Area School." At this moment, Gai Jiushan smiled at the person.


    "Haha, Brother Gai, it''s been a long time. Monk Shi, Dao path, Jiang Dali, it''s been a long time." The disciple in the lead greeted everyone.


    That person was none other than the chief disciple of the Fang Jin Sect, Fang Buyao.


    "Hey, Geezer, Fang Buyao, where the hell did you go to? I thought you won''t be able to make it back in time for the Zhen Wu Ceremony. I didn''t expect you to come back in the end. Now, I have another big enemy!" Jiang Dali''s tone was not the least bit exaggerated.


    From this, it could be seen how powerful Fang Buyao was. Even Jiang Dali found it difficult to deal with him.


    Shi Yan and the Dao-spirit both bowed towards each other as well.


    "Enough, stop hiding. Brother Ouyang, come out!" Right at this moment, Fang Buyao made a sudden move. With a palm, he shattered that large rock into pieces.


    The large stone exploded and a disciple dressed in dark colored clothes instantly appeared.


    Not long after, the other disciples also appeared one after another.


    The strange thing was, just now, these disciples seemed like shadows, and weren''t human.


    "Fang Buyao, you actually came back?" The person who was called Brother Ouyang was also somewhat surprised. They had arrived one after the other with Fang Jin Sect, but Ouyang Ying did not see Fang Buyao. When he saw Fang Buyao this time, his face immediately became serious.


    "Brother Ouyang, it''s been so long since we last met, yet you''ve improved your godly skills again. This is truly a cause for celebration!" Fang Buyao laughed.


    "Greetings, everyone." Ouyang Ying faintly smiled, but he did not linger on this topic. Instead, he cupped his hands together and spoke to the others.


    "Hahaha, long time no see!" Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter was heard.


    "Who said I haven''t seen you in a long time? I just saw you before. Third Bro, what are you learning from him for?" Before that laughter could stop, another voice rang out.


    "Well, number two, why do you always want to teach number three a lesson?" It was another voice.


    "Nonsense, I''m not trying to teach him a lesson. I''m trying to correct the mistakes in Old Third''s words!" The man who was called number two spoke again.


    "Boss, look, this number two should be giving him a good beating. He won''t even listen to your words!" Ol ''Three complained.


    "Un, third brother, this is your mistake. No matter what, he is your second brother. He is my second brother, how could I beat him up ¡­" The big boss from before spoke up again.


    But this time, before he could finish his words, Jiang Dali suddenly shouted out: "Damn it, it''s so noisy! Every time, it''s the three of you who make the loudest noise! Damn it, I''m convinced! You three, Ox-nose, and that bald donkey are all from the same sect!"


    Hearing Jiang Dali''s roar, the three previous voices immediately began to discuss among themselves.


    The boss: "Look, I told you guys to love each other and not destroy each other. That idiot Jiang Li is talking about you now, right?"


    The second brother said, "Mother, we three brothers are arguing here. What does that have to do with Jiang Dali, the second fool? "He actually dared to scold us, and even compared us to those cowards and bald donkeys. I was going to slap him to death!"


    The boss: "Second Bro, it''s not good to be so impulsive. However, I feel that what you say makes sense. Third Bro, what do you think?"


    Ol ''Three: "Boss, I think what Second Bro said this time makes sense. That idiot Jiang Dali is asking for a beating!"


    "Alright, let''s go beat him up!" The boss immediately slapped the table.


    In the next moment, three figures suddenly rushed out. This time, they were aiming for Jiang Dali.


    "F * ck, you three are retards, but you actually dare to play with the real deal!" Jiang Li flew into a rage, but he did not dare to underestimate them. The moment the three rushed towards him, Jiang Dali''s immense physical strength surged to the limit, and he immediately slapped his three brothers in the palm.


    The moment his palm struck out, the entire space seemed to tremble violently. It was extremely terrifying.


    No one had expected that the three of them actually possessed such strength.


    However, even though the three of them had exchanged blows with Jiang Dali, they hadn''t been able to gain much from it.


    However, at this time, not far from the space, strange flower petals were blooming in a strange way.


    The strangest thing was, no one knew how those petals had appeared.


    Those petals suddenly enlarged, and at this moment, an even more frightening thing happened.


    On the petals, a woman with a beautiful figure actually appeared.


    The appearance of the woman in the lead immediately quelled the extremely intense energy fluctuations.


    "Hey, Brother Dazhi, how did you end up fighting with Brother San Cai? How is it? Did the outcome decide?" The woman in the lead immediately pursed her lips and smiled when she saw the scene in front of her.


    "Miss Su is getting more and more spirited." As he spoke, he turned to look at the woman.


    "That''s right, Fellow Xiao is really a fairy from the heavens." The Dao Spirit raised its head and wiped the saliva off its mouth.


    "Almsgiver Xiao, how about I go back and plead with Master and let me go? Every time I see you, I have the urge to break the rule." At this moment, ShiYan''s eyes were shining brightly. He no longer had the elegant and refined demeanor of a monk from a moment ago.


    "Lil ''Ye, long time no see. Do you still remember Big Brother Yao?" At this moment, Fang Buyao also raised his head to look at that woman, smiling as he spoke.


    "Evening Miss Su, sigh, I''m really ashamed to let you see my sorry state." Jiang Dali looked ashamed, but at this moment, his hatred for the three idiots intensified!


    "Big Brother, I want Grandson to be my wife." The third brother stammered.


    "Big brother, I want to have Grandson as my wife." The second eldest said the same thing to the boss in the same posture.


    "Do you think I don''t want to?" The boss snappily replied, "I also want to have Grandson as my wife."


    "Everyone, are you all so exaggerated?" The girl called Wu Su said with a smile.


    "What a beautiful smile." At this moment, another voice came from not too far away: "Little Sister Su, your name doesn''t sound good. Why don''t we just call you Xiao Qingcheng!"


    However, after this voice was heard, everyone''s expression, including that of everyone just now, changed.


    One by one, they lost any thoughts of admiring Xiao Wan Su''s beauty. On the contrary, they all looked extremely serious as they fixed their gazes not too far away.


    Even the smile on Xiao Wan Su''s face froze for a moment. She thought to herself, "That madman actually came as well!"


    Li Wu Huan''s heart suddenly thumped. In the next moment, he seemed to have thought of something.


    "Could it be ¡­ could it be that he''s here?"

 C509 Crazy hu bugui dazhang

    "Haha, everyone, I, Madman Hu, am back. You didn''t expect it right? Surprised, surprised, unsurprised, excited?" Just at that moment, the voice rang out once again.


    What was different from the others was that after the voice was heard, only a figure could be seen walking over from a distance.


    Yes, there was only one.


    Compared to the other disciples, there were eight or ten people. This time, there was only one person.


    The least of the three had been the three brothers, but there were also three people.


    But this time, there was only one person.


    However, such a person caused the expressions of the crowd to change. From this, it could be seen how frightening that person was. To actually cause the crowd to respond in such a cautious manner.


    Hua Ruyi noticed that Li Wu Huan''s expression was a little ugly, and she couldn''t help but cast a questioning gaze at him.


    Li Wu Huan came back to her senses and sighed before introducing the crowd.


    Earlier, there was no need to mention Gai Jianxue, Jiang Dali, Shi Yan, the Dao Spirit, Fang Buyao, and Ouyang Ying.


    They came from the Nine Pylons, the Titan God School, the Extremely Pleasant Buddha Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Square Inch Sect, and the Shadow Sect.


    The other three who were talking nonsense were the disciples of the Three Talents Sect. They were the great, the second, and the third.


    The woman in the sky was a disciple from the Hundred Flowers Sect. Her name was Xiao Wan Su.


    Only this person in front of him came from the most powerful force in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. He was also the only sect that could compare to True Martial Pavilion. He was the head disciple of their sect, Hu Bugui!


    Very few people knew Hu Bugui''s real name now, but he had another famous nickname, "Crazy Hu"!


    In the Skysoul Institute, most people didn''t even know who it was when it came to Hu Bugui.


    But when it came to crazy Hu, almost everyone knew.


    He was referring to the person in front of him.


    Crazy Hu was called a madman because he was absolutely crazy.


    He killed.


    Kill his son, his wife, his parents, his master, anyone who could control him.


    Or the person he thought should be killed.


    He sucked blood.


    After killing someone, his biggest hobby was to drink the blood of his enemies.


    In the entire sacred door, as long as he was the head disciple, all the other disciples were killed by him.


    This was because he once said that he alone was enough for the sacred gate. He didn''t need any other trash to waste resources on.


    He was a dog, the most terrifying dog that the saints and saints had ever kept.


    He was extremely powerful.


    It was so high that he could practically easily crush all disciples of the same realm.


    It was even said that even if the other eight sects combined their top disciples, they still wouldn''t be a match for him.


    However, no one had ever seen Lunatic Hu display his full strength.


    During the last True Martial Grand Ceremony, he had killed an elder of the True Martial Pavilion with a single move.


    As for that elder, he possessed the cultivation of a King''s Realm cultivator.


    However, at that time, Hu Bugui was only at the first level of the Manifestation stage.


    He crossed an entire realm and killed that elder.


    This action immediately shocked everyone in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    However, that madman was not without restraints. When facing even more powerful people, he was always respectful. If his strength surpassed that person''s, he would mercilessly kill him.


    It was the same with the saints and elders of the Sacred Gate.


    Originally, there were nine Great Saints in the sect, but now, there were only seven left.


    Because two of the Saint Elders were unable to defeat crazy Hu, they were ruthlessly killed by crazy Hu.


    He could be a dog, but the condition was that as its master, you must be strong enough. If you''re not strong enough, that dog will become a mad dog.


    Before Li Wu Huan entered the Heaven''s Expanse Holy Sect, she had always followed his master in the Heavenly Spirit Realm for cultivation. Thus, she had a deep understanding of this Hu Bugui.


    This was also the reason why the disciples of the other eight sects had such serious expressions.


    Because, other than the Saint Elders of the Saint Gate and the upper echelons of the True Martial Pavilion, who could suppress Crazy Hu, no one else had any way to control Crazy Hu. No one knew when Crazy Hu would go crazy and when he would go crazy, he would suddenly want to kill someone.


    Hearing this, Hua Ruoyi immediately felt chills run down her spine, and the other disciples also felt a chill down their spines.


    They had never heard of this person before, but seeing the reaction of the crowd, they naturally believed in what Li Wuhuan had said.


    At this moment, Hu Changzai noticed that everyone''s face was frozen. He laughed and asked, "What''s with your expressions? Are you afraid of me?"


    "Three idiots, are you afraid of me?" Hu Bugui suddenly started to call out the names.


    At this moment, the hair on the bodies of the three brothers stood up. They gathered together and formed a three-legged shape as they looked at Hu Bugui with a face full of caution.


    "How boring. Fang Buyao, you''re back too. Are you afraid of me?" Seeing the way the three brothers were acting, Lunatic Hu turned to look at Fang Buyao with a face full of boredom.


    Apart from him, Fang Buyao was the strongest amongst the rest.


    However, Fang Buyao no longer had the demeanor of a general and instead said calmly: "Brother Hu, you have come. However, we are all disciples of the Nine Sects, so we should all go to the outside world together ¡­"


    However, he was not that afraid. If he were to face Hu Bugui, he probably wouldn''t be killed in one move, but once Hu Ziyan took action against him, he would attract the Law Envoys. At that time, there would be no need to be afraid.


    However, he didn''t want to have anything to do with Hu Ziyan, so he simply lured disaster onto the demon clan.


    What he said was consistent with the outside world, and he was actually speaking of those demi-humans.


    "They''re just a bunch of furry beasts. Sooner or later, I''ll slaughter everyone in the Monster Spirit Realm with my fists alone." Crazy Hu took over the conversation, then said to the spirit and Shi Yan, "You two, I''ve been feeling a bit uneasy recently, one of you is a Taoist and the other is a master, what good idea do you have?"


    "If there is, I guarantee that you all won''t die. Of course, the prerequisite is that I must still be alive." Hu Bugui asked again.


    The Daoist spirit and Shi Yan immediately shook their heads, not daring to say more.


    "F * ck, is laozi that scary?" Hu Bugui cursed out loud.


    "No, this won''t do. I don''t feel good, I want to kill someone!" Hu Bugui immediately made his move.


    This time, he didn''t hold back at all and lightly tapped with his finger.


    He then pointed at a disciple beside Li Wuhuan.


    BOOM! BOOM! With a loud explosion, that disciple didn''t even have the chance to scream before he was blown apart by Hu Bugui''s finger.


    The disciple''s body immediately exploded into a cloud of bloody mist.


    However, Hu Bugui suddenly opened his mouth and sucked. That disciple''s blood was completely absorbed into his own mouth.


    "Ugh!" Hu Bugui let out a light breath and said, "That''s more like it. I feel much better now."


    However, when the others saw this, their hairs stood on end. Each and every one of them were stunned into silence.


    Right at this moment, a group of people appeared not far away from them.


    It was more accurate to say that they were not human but barbarian.


    When the leader of the Berserkers saw Madman Hu, he immediately ran out without any hesitation.


    The other Berserkers also ran away.


    Hu Bugui had an unlucky look on his face as he said, "Hey, you sissy. Why are you like this? You run the moment you see me. Am I that scary?"


    "I even saw a few familiar faces and thought that I could have fun, sigh ¡­" Hu Bugui became angry once again, "No, I will kill you this time. However, I have already killed a person. How about we kill some animals and have some fun?"


    Hu Bugui mumbled to himself. In the end, he made up his mind and slightly nodded. This time, he pointed to a member of the Monster race.


    "Bam!" That demon clan also immediately let out a huge explosion.


    After that, it also turned into a rain of blood. Crazy Hu immediately followed the same pattern and absorbed the blood rain into his own mouth.


    "Damn it, the taste of this beast is still the same." Hu Bugui''s face was filled with dissatisfaction.


    Everyone started to get nervous. Could it be that this crazy Hu wanted to kill another person?


    However, like this, everyone started to feel threatened.


    This madman Hu''s methods were extremely terrifying. Moreover, his brain circuit was abnormal. Who knew who he was going to kill?


    But this time, crazy Hu didn''t have any intention of killing someone.


    He raised his head and looked at Xiao Wan Su, then suddenly pointed.


    An incomparably majestic finger force landed on the petal where Xiao Wan Su was standing.


    Immediately, that petal exploded.


    "Sister Su, you always stand on those petals. I see that you still want to raise your head. I''m most annoyed with you for doing that. Do you mind if I let you down?" Hu Bugui was all smiles as he looked at Xiao Wan Su.


    Xiao Wan Su''s heart skipped a beat, but she still forced a smile and said: "Brother Hu, this was little sister''s negligence. I hope big brother Hu will not lower himself to this little sister."


    The petal that Xiao Wan Su had been standing on earlier was one of her life treasures. Although it had been shattered by Lunatic Hu''s finger, she didn''t dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face. She could only apologize and beg for his forgiveness.


    "Don''t worry, I''m very happy today. I won''t kill you." Crazy Hu smiled and looked towards Xiao Wan Su.


    Xiao Wan Su''s heart was at ease. The stiff expression on her face also started to ease down.


    "However, Little Sister Su, when are you planning to go to Wu Mountain with Big Brother Hu?" However, Little Sister Su, when are you planning to go to Wu Mountain with Big Brother Hu? Crazy Hu suddenly started to grin and grimace, "Little Sister Su, you''re so pretty, I''m sure a lot of men like you. From what I see, that group of trash like you a lot."


    Hu Bugui pointed at the others and smiled at Xiao Wan.


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan Su''s pretty face immediately became pale. However, she gritted her teeth and still said: "Big Brother Hu, I train in the ruthless path of cultivation. I won''t care about the matters between men and women ¡­"


    "Wuqing?" Hu Bugui smiled faintly and said, "This matter is actually not that hard to deal with. As long as you kill your master and change your ruthless path to one of lust, it will be fine."


    At the same time, her gaze fell on the other disciples of the seven sects.


    However, at this moment, their expressions looked as if they were struggling, but in the end, they did not express anything.


    Just now, these people were praising him to the heavens, but now that he was in a life or death situation, these people were trying to protect themselves once again.


    There was a sad look on her face, but there was a trace of determination on her face. "Don''t force me. If worst comes to worst, I will self-destruct!"


    "Hehe, interesting, that would require your ability, do you believe that if I do not let you die, you will not die, even if you do, I advise you to think about it, otherwise, if I am not happy, do you believe that I will strip you now and then in front of everyone ¡­"


    Hu Bugui''s eyes were like those of a greedy wolf looking at its prey, extremely ferocious and terrifying.


    Xiao Wan Su did not waste any time on words. She started to gather all the power in her body, wanting to self-destruct.


    "I''m not happy that you didn''t listen to me!" Hu Bugui suddenly roared.


    In the next moment, his body suddenly moved. His ten fingers moved in unison. The disciples of the sect that were standing not too far away from Hu Bugui, as well as the disciples of the Western Spiritual Realm, all moved in unison.


    Hu Bugui was pointing at them, and in the next moment, "Bang Bang Bang!" sounds rang out one after another. Their bodies started to explode, turning into clumps of blood mist.


    Hu Bugui absorbed all of the information into his own mouth. Only then did his expression ease up. However, all of a sudden, he noticed Hua Ruyi''s gaze.


    Hu Changzai revealed a look of surprise, and then he arrived in front of Hua Ruyi.


    With a light pull, Hua Ruyi''s body was pulled over by Hu Bugui.


    Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that there would be a beauty in this place. Moreover, if I''m not wrong, she should be a cauldron body. Hu Bugui carefully sized up Hua Ruyi and praised her.


    "I already have a fiance. I''d advise you to not touch me. My fiance is a jealous person. If he comes out, he''ll tear you into pieces." Although Hua Ruyi saw how terrifying Hu Bugui was, her heart didn''t have any fluctuations. She knew that if Lin Tianming knew that Hu Bugui dared to touch her, Lin Tian would definitely kill him.


    "Fianc¨¦?" Hu Changzai was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud, "Are you talking about the person in this forest?"


    At this point, the nearby Yun Huang''s heart suddenly moved.


    She had felt the presence of Lin Tian''s aura before, but since she came here and didn''t see Lin Tian, it could only prove one thing.


    That was, Lin Tian had entered the Redwood Forest, but what caused Yun Huang to be shocked was not this.


    It was Hua Rui''s words just now. Fianc¨¦, wasn''t that Lin Tian?


    However, since when did this bastard have a fiancee?!


    Hua Ruyi did not reply, but tacitly agreed.


    This made Yun Huang even more convinced of his thoughts.


    Fine, let''s see how this heartless man is going to deal with him after he comes out!


    Yun Feng thought with a huff in his heart.


    "If you don''t speak, then that''s it. Fine, I''ll pick your body here. I''d really like to see how your fiance will deal with me if he finds out that I''m giving him a green hat ¡­" Hu Bugui''s eyes flashed with a cold light. He was about to attack.


    Not far away, a clear and cold voice rang out at this moment: "Release her!"


    His voice was extremely cold, and contained a hint of an unyielding intent.

 C510 Bye cloud phoenix

    "Hmm?" Madman Hu also heard the shout and stopped. If he did not hear wrongly, it should be someone behind him.


    Crazy Hu was slightly surprised as he turned around to look.


    Only now did he realize that it was those monsters that had opened their mouths.


    Moreover, it seemed that the beast in front of him was a woman.


    Beautiful woman!


    Hu Bugui''s eyes lit up. He never thought that he would be here today. There were so many beauties in this place.


    It was a pity to waste it.


    Moreover, one of these two beauties was born with a bewitching body, but she was an extremely proficient furnace. The other was a genius of the demon race. It seemed that they could also sense the surging strength of her blood energy.


    The most important thing was that these two beauties were both extremely beautiful. One was an icy beauty, and the other was naturally charming. These two beauties were even more beautiful than that Xiao Wan Su just now.


    This unexpected event caused everyone to turn their gazes over. After which, they discovered the beauties of Yun Huang and Hua Ruyi.


    At this moment, they were in disbelief.


    Since when did beauties appear in places like the Western Spiritual Realm and the Demon Spirit Realm?


    The one who berated Crazy Hu was Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang originally did not plan to meddle in other people''s business, but the main issue was that Hua Ruoyi mentioned his fiance.


    And from the meaning of his words, it seemed like he was talking about Lin Tian.


    But when did that bastard find a fianc¨¦e?


    Humph! Men were indeed not good people.


    As Yun Huang thought of this, he couldn''t help but say it out loud, stopping that crazy Hu man.


    "Ah, Archie!" Right at this time, Lin Tian, who was crazily searching for the mother root, suddenly sneezed. After that, his face was at a loss. Who, who was speaking ill of me?


    The Redwood Mother Root seemed to have felt a threat, so while Lin Tian was searching, he had more or less received some trouble.


    Fortunately, there wasn''t a big problem. Lin Tian could already feel where the mother root was.


    Not long after, they arrived at a low-lying area. Lin Tian finally saw the mother root.


    The grass was very excited as it charged toward the mother root. To the grass, the mother root was the best food.


    The mother root trembled and wanted to escape, but the grass had already sprouted endless vines and madly swept towards the mother root.


    Not long after, the mother root''s nutrients were completely absorbed by the grass.


    At this moment, the mahogany trees began to gradually wither.


    Of course, Lin Tian knew nothing about what was happening outside.


    He did not even know that Hua Ruoyi had used him as a shield, nor did he know that Yun Huang''s jealousy had turned upside down.


    At this time, Lunatic Hu still had a face full of desire for the beauty of Yun Huang and Hua Ruyi.


    He had no idea that this was the beginning of his calamity.


    "Oh, it seems that today, I, Madman Hu, am blessed with beauty. Two exceptional beauties, especially one of the Monster race''s beasts, I would like to test just how different the Monster race''s beasts are from humans!" Hu Bugui was filled with excitement as he shouted towards Yun Huang.


    "My husband is inside. If you''re not afraid of death, come and try to touch me!" Yun Feng''s cold tone immediately caused Hu Bugui''s eyes to turn cold.


    However, Hu Bugui immediately smiled and said, "Little bastard actually dares to lie to me. This beauty just said that the person in there is her fianc¨¦. Why did it become yours instead? Why do you all know that country bumpkin in there?"


    "Or are you two willing to serve together?" A look of pity appeared on Hu Bugui''s face, "Let me tell you, that country bumpkin definitely doesn''t think much of it. You two might as well just follow me!"


    After saying that, Hu Bugui was about to capture these two people. There was no point in blabbering so much nonsense. He would capture these two beauties first and then deal with the country bumpkin inside after he came out.


    However, Hua Ruyi''s expression instantly changed. She immediately heard a trace of something else coming from Yun Huang''s mouth.


    Just now when he moved out of Lin Tian, it was only a plan to slow down her fighting. However, she also knew that if Lin Tian really did come out, he would definitely save her. On the contrary, he would stand out and help her.


    But he never would have thought that this world was actually so small. She was actually meeting the real Lin Tian''s fiancee. This time, there was no way to explain it clearly.


    It had to be known that Lin Tian had told her before that Lin Tian had a fiancee.


    But he didn''t expect that the girl standing in front of him was Lin Tian''s real fiancee.


    This is embarrassing ¡­


    For a moment, Hua Ruyi did not know what to do.


    Moreover, she was usually proud of her unparalleled beauty.


    That blockhead Lin Tian seemed to turn a blind eye to her own beauty. The key was that she was not convinced before, but today, seeing Yun Huang, Hua Ruyi suddenly felt a little ashamed of her own inferiority.


    At this moment, he had completely forgotten that crazy Hu was already heading towards the two and wanted to capture them.


    "Lin Tian, you bastard. If you don''t come out now, you''ll never see me again!" Right at this moment, Yun Huang suddenly shouted towards the Redwood Forest.


    Yun Huang''s voice gave that crazy Hu a fright, and his hand movements slowed down.


    "Yun Huang!" At this time, deep in the Redwood Forest, Lin Tian suddenly heard a familiar voice.


    He no longer paid any attention to the little grass and crazily turned around. The God Transforming Steps he used to the extreme, Lin Tian felt that it was impossible for him to be this fast in his entire life, but this time, in the middle of that sound, Lin Tian''s speed had already reached the limit as he crazily charged towards Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang, Yun Huang, I can finally see you again!


    The smile on Lin Tian''s face became even wider. He furiously shouted out Yun Huang''s name in his heart. He knew that this time, he would definitely catch her and would never let her out of his sight.


    No matter who wanted to stop him, Lin Tian would go forward. Anything that wanted to stop him, Lin Tian would mercilessly grind it down and kill it!


    Lin Tian rushed out of the Redwood Forest in the blink of an eye. It was also at this time that the Redwood Mother Root within the Redwood Forest was completely absorbed by the small grass.


    The small grass quickly rushed forward, chasing after Lin Tian.


    At the same time, the endless red wood was completely withered, rotted, and finally disappeared.


    Everything disappeared, leaving only Lin Tian''s figure.


    "Shout. Even if you shout until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you. Follow me!" Crazy Hu recovered his wits at this moment.


    He once again charged towards Yun Feng.


    But at this moment, he didn''t see the faint smile on Yun Huang''s lips: "Is that so? But, it seems, it seems like my husband has already come ¡­"


    Just at this moment, Lin Tian''s figure had already appeared outside of the Redwood Forest and appeared in everyone''s line of sight.


    Only Madman Hu had his back facing Lin Tian and did not see him at all.


    As soon as Lin Tian exited the Redwood Forest, he saw that crazy Hu wanted to attack Yun Huang.


    He could no longer suppress his rage.


    He suddenly opened his mouth and shouted word by word at crazy Hu, "I... want... you... to die!"


    In the next moment, Lin Tian suddenly turned into a huge red dragon and fiercely pounced towards Hu Bugui.


    At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Tian with astonishment and disbelief.


    Moreover, the key point was that everyone''s gazes were completely focused on Lin Tian. They thought they were wrong, but it wasn''t. Not bad. What appeared in front of them was a really huge dragon, a blood-red huge dragon.


    "Dragon ¡­ Dragon ¡­" At this moment, all of them had stopped breathing as they stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before them.


    At the same time, that Hu Bugui also felt the danger. An unprecedented danger instantly shot towards him.


    This caused him to have no choice but to give up trying to capture Yun Huang. Instead, he began to fiercely retreat and dodge Lin Tian''s fatal strike.

 C511 Im going to be a father

    "Yun Huang, is that really you?" Lin Tian''s attack failed, but he did not give chase. Instead, he turned back into his human form and slowly landed in front of Yun Huang.


    He muttered to himself in a low voice, like a child. He suddenly felt that all that he had experienced was worth it, because Yun Huang was his home, his motivation, and also the dao in his heart.


    "Idiot, what do you think?" Yun Huang''s eyes turned red and tears fell uncontrollably as he said this to Lin Tian with both joy and annoyance.


    "I''m not dreaming, am I?" Lin Tian was very afraid that he was in a dream or an illusion. He was very afraid that he would wake up and all of this would turn into a dream.


    "Then touch me and see if it''s true?" Yun Feng''s tears turned into a smile as he tightly held onto Lin Tian''s hand.


    This time, Yun Huang directly placed Lin Tian''s hand on her own stomach.


    "Idiot, he didn''t listen, he''s kicking me again ¡­" Yun Huang''s smiling face was like a flower, he then spoke to Lin Tian Dao in a low voice.


    Lin Tian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His brain exploded with a "weng" sound.


    For a moment, he did not know where he was anymore. Did he hear things just now?


    "He''s kicking me again. He''s kicking me again." This kind of voice continuously rang out in Lin Tian''s ears.


    It made him at a loss what to do, so much so that his entire body began to tremble.


    He was not stupid, he naturally knew what Yun Huang''s words meant.


    He, he, Lin Tian, was going to be a father!


    Lin Tian suddenly bent over and put his ear in front of Yun Huang''s stomach. He did not say a single word because his lips were trembling so badly that it looked like he had lost all ability to speak. He only laughed foolishly.


    He gently caressed Yun Huang''s stomach. Lin Tian suddenly felt wronged, but there was nothing left.


    A strange feeling rose in his heart.


    He forgot everything, forgot everything. He only knew that he heard a "thump thump" sound come from Yun Huang''s stomach.


    It was the voice of life, the voice of hope. It was everything he had fought for, the meaning of his struggle.


    It was a new life, a new hope, his child.


    "Idiot." At this time, Yun Huang''s tears also fell like rain, gently pressing down on Lin Tian''s head.


    It was as if this man who was like a child, and the life that was born in her, was her world, her everything.


    Everyone else was dumbfounded.


    From the moment Lin Tian came out and turned into a giant blood-red dragon, to when he arrived in front of Yun Huang, everything that had happened caused them to not know what to do.


    Hua Ruyi''s heart was like dying embers.


    Before, she might still have been confident, but now that she saw this, she knew she would never have another chance.


    But when she saw Lin Tian''s loving face, she was a bit intoxicated. She couldn''t even control her own tears, but she couldn''t say whether she was feeling happy for them or whether it was bitter tears that came from her excited tears.


    She didn''t know what she was feeling at the moment.


    To the side, the others were also infected by this scene.


    "Infinity Empyrean."


    "Amitabha."


    The Dao Spirit and ShiYan both chanted their Buddhist chants.


    Then, he quietly looked at the scene before him.


    Li Wu Huan stared in disbelief at her junior brother. This junior brother of his was about to become a father, but he was still a bachelor. This was a bit of a pain in the ass.


    The disciples of the other great sects had also completely forgotten about Lunatic Hu, who was standing at the side. They were looking at the two of them, feeling somewhat affected.


    However, at this moment, each and every one of the demon clan members looked at Yun Huang in disbelief.


    How, how is this possible?


    Yun Feng actually had a husband, and he was even pregnant. This was completely unacceptable to them.


    Jiang Feng in particular, now that both old and new grudges had formed, the flames of jealousy in his eyes were on the verge of erupting.


    He had already noticed that Lin Tian''s aura was the aura that had killed his disappointing older brother, Jiang Fan.


    In other words, Lin Tian was the killer of Jiang Fan.


    Jiang Feng had another mission this time, and that was this.


    However, now that he had completed the mission, he had completed the clan elder''s request and found Lin Tian.


    But at the same time, he also had something to do with Yun Huang, which was completely unacceptable.


    It has to be said that Yun Huang possesses the bloodline of the Demon Spirit Realm''s Heavenly Phoenix Clan.


    Yun Huang''s body was actually not only her own body, but the body of the entire demon clan because Yun Huang possessed the blood of the Sky Phoenix.


    This level of bloodline meant that she had to find a more powerful and purer demon clan. Only by combining Yin and Yang would she be able to give birth to the demon clan''s most powerful genius, the Life Severing Child!


    He was a born Demon Emperor, an existence out of tens of thousands. In the future, he would be able to lead the entire Demon Clan towards the most glorious Demon Emperor of tomorrow.


    This was Yun Huang''s mission!


    Yun Huang could not have a secret relationship.


    Thus, when they found out that Yun Huang had the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, the High Priest of the Sky Phoenix Clan had already made the arrangements.


    When Yun Huang reaches adulthood, he will look for all the demons in the Demon Spirit Realm. The ones with the purest bloodlines will participate in the Sky Phoenix Family''s son-in-law selection competition.


    Just by listening to the name, one could tell that this was a competition specially designed for Yun Huang.


    Only the strongest amongst the demon race would be worthy to be with Yun Huang.


    But now, this Yun Huang actually did not love himself at all, and actually had a relationship with a human.


    This was something that none of their demon race could accept, and this matter, he would definitely report it to the High Priest of the Sky Phoenix Clan.


    And there was also this brat that Yun Huang was pregnant with, he had to die!


    Jiang Feng was about to go crazy with jealousy at this moment.


    Hu Changzai''s face also turned cold. The vicious aura in his heart could no longer be controlled. His breathing immediately became rapid.


    In the next moment, it was very possible that he would grow fangs and directly bite Lin Tian to death. Only after drinking all of his blood would he be able to feel at peace.


    However, the current Lin Tian did not care about anyone else''s thoughts. At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was to enjoy this moment.


    This was really a huge surprise. Even until now, he still found it hard to believe.


    He never would have thought that not only did he see Yun Huang, but Yun Huang was pregnant with his child.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt that he was very happy, so he wanted to continue enjoying this peaceful moment.


    Of course he wouldn''t care about the others.


    "When was she pregnant?" At this time, Lin Tian stood up, stroking Yun Huang''s stomach, and asked.


    "Humph!" When Yun Huang heard Lin Tian''s question, she unhappily rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. Then, she lightly punched Lin Tian''s chest: "When, do you not know?"


    Lin Tian came to a sudden understanding and immediately thought of the charming moment in the shadow of the dragon door. In an instant, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.


    However, in that moment, Lin Tian felt that something was wrong.


    It had already been more than two years since he and Yun Huang had a husband and wife.


    How could this be? Yun Huang had been pregnant for more than two years and had yet to give birth.


    "I don''t know either." Seemingly knowing what Lin Tian was thinking, he said: "I feel like this little thing is growing very slowly in my body. Moreover, I don''t dare to be born like this. The High Priest has always suspected me."


    Yun Huang stuck out his tongue and explained to Lin Tian.


    Normally, she looked as if she was rejecting others by a thousand miles, but in front of Lin Tian, she had suddenly become a little girl.


    The corner of Lin Tian''s mouth twitched. Could it be that this little thing was going to be pregnant for two or three years?


    How terrifying would it be when he was born?

 C512 Fighting madman hu

    Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian''s reaction and curled his lips. Then he asked: "What, Lin Tian, I''ll tell you this, this is your child, don''t think of any bad ideas, you have to take responsibility!"


    "Huh?" Lin Tian slightly smiled, then teased: "What, you''re putting it on me?"


    "Lying on you?" Yun Huang''s expression suddenly turned cold: "Good, I knew you were a heartless person. Good, you don''t want me, I believe there are still a lot of people who want me. Look at those demon clan geniuses and that human just now, they are all fighting to have me ¡­"


    "How dare you!" Before Yun Feng could finish speaking, Lin Tian had already fiercely interrupted him, and his face immediately became ugly.


    "Hmph, stingy man." Yun Huang snorted, but he could not conceal the smile on the corner of his mouth.


    Lin Tian''s reaction was enough to prove the position of Yun Feng in his heart.


    But when he thought of this, Yun Huang suddenly pointed his finger at Ruyi, then smiled at Lin Tian and said: "Congratulations, I heard you have a fiancee?"


    Lin Tian did not react for a moment, and did not know what Yun Huang meant by that. When he turned his head to see Hua Ruyi, his head felt a headache, did Yun Huang know about this?


    But, Lin Tian didn''t know at all about his fiancee. When had he ever said that this Hua Ruoyi was his fianc¨¦e? He had only said that Yun Huang was his fianc¨¦e.


    What was going on? Could something have happened while he was gone?


    "Are you kidding?" Lin Tian embraced Yun Huang: "You are my fiancee. As for the matter of Miss Hua, I''ll explain it to you later."


    "What are you afraid of?" In this public place, Yun Huang was suddenly hugged by Lin Tian. Her face was also red, but she did not resist and said this to Lin Tian.


    "I have a guilty conscience. When did I have a guilty conscience?" Lin Tian''s face did not look too good as he said.


    "Don''t misunderstand." Right at this moment, Hua Ruyi suddenly opened her mouth and explained to Yun Huang.


    Earlier, she saw Yun Huang point at her, so she naturally understood what had happened.


    So she still felt that she had to explain this matter to Yun Huang.


    Lin Tian suddenly felt a headache. It would have been good if he wasn''t here, but at this moment, in front of these two women, he was at a loss.


    "Hehe, I didn''t expect that you would be so blessed to be able to make two beauties like you commit themselves to you. Looks like I have to do some unsightly things, such as kill you, make them all widows. Then, in front of your corpse, I will make them be in front of me ¡­"


    At this time, that crazy Hu spoke to Lin Tian.


    But before he finished speaking, Lin Tian had already made his move.


    Just now, it was this bastard that wanted to make a move against Yun Huang. This was something that Lin Tian could not tolerate.


    A dragon has a reverse scale. Touch it and you will die.


    Yun Huang, was his biggest reverse scale. Especially after he found out that Yun Huang was actually pregnant with his own child, Lin Tian was even more unlikely to let anything happen to Yun Huang.


    If it was because he had been late and Yun Huang had been bullied, then Lin Tian would truly regret it.


    However, since he had come out, it was impossible for such a tragedy to happen to Lin Tian, especially for such a tragedy.


    Thus, the following matter was quite simple.


    Since this person was still thinking about Yun Huang, then there was only one solution.


    That would be killing him.


    Lin Tian did not recognize Madman Hu. Currently, it was still Li Wu Huan. She passed the voice to Lin Tian and secretly introduced the crazy Hu.


    But it did not matter if he knew his identity. Lin Tian only knew that he was already a dead person.


    "Die for me!" Lin Tian did not waste any words as he fiercely threw a palm towards Hu Bugui.


    This attack was his most powerful technique, the Heaven Throwing Hand.


    The monstrous Yuan Power gathered into a gigantic handprint and crazily smashed towards Hu Bugui.


    "You dare to lay your hands on me with such little ability?" Hu Bugui sneered in disdain as he adjusted his strength to its peak state. He then moved his neck, not caring in the slightest.


    Originally, he thought that this Lin Tian was a terrifying existence. However, from the looks of it now, he was only at the fifth level of the Manifestation stage.


    Did he really think of himself as someone great?


    Who knew how many people like Lin Tian had died to his hands.


    Just as the two of them were about to engage in an intense battle, Hua Ruyi finally found a chance to explain to Yun Huang.


    However, the two of them grouped up and didn''t care about Lin Tian.


    This was because the two of them both knew that Lin Tian would never lose.


    They had absolute confidence in Lin Tian.


    After the explanation, it was naturally impossible for Yun Huang to not understand. After the understanding, the two of them began to narrate the story of how they met Lin Tian and how they developed together.


    They occasionally glanced at Lin Tian, but the topic was all about Lin Tian.


    At this time, Lin Tian''s palm had already landed on Hu Bugui''s body.


    However, Hu Bugui didn''t react at all.


    On the contrary, Hu Bugui suddenly pointed his finger and roared, "Explode for me!"


    When the rest of them saw Hu Changzai displaying his move, they couldn''t help but take a few steps back. They had just witnessed the entire scene.


    Just now, Hu Changzai had used this method to kill countless demons and humans in the blink of an eye.


    With a single finger, he would be able to destroy a person.


    If he pointed it at Lin Tian''s body, the effect would definitely be the same.


    Everyone was already prepared for Lin Tian to be blown up by a single finger.


    But only Li Wu Huan had expectations towards Lin Tian.


    Of course, Lin Tian naturally would not be so weak.


    That finger attack on Lin Tian''s body did not have the slightest reaction to Lin Tian.


    However, Lin Tian still felt that his body was in slight pain. It was as if there was an extremely violent power that wanted to stir the aura around his body and disrupt the aura on Lin Tian''s body.


    This was the first time Lin Tian had encountered such a method.


    However, before the power of the finger could attract his aura, the whirlpool of Dantian within his body started to rapidly spin.


    After which, wave after wave of surging force completely annihilated that finger attack.


    After the power of one finger was destroyed by Lin Tian, Hu Bugui looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.


    How, how was that possible? His technique had killed countless experts before and it had tested many times, but why did it lose its effect on Lin Tian?


    Just as he couldn''t come up with an answer, Lin Tian suddenly attacked again.


    And this time, Lin Tian did not use any other methods. It was precisely the Dragon Scale Spear.


    The Dragon Scale Spear moved with his heart. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a green light that gathered in Lin Tian''s hand.


    "Destruction!" Lin Tian''s first move was the fifth move of the Heavenly Dragon Tomb, the first move, Destruction. It was an incomparably powerful move.

 C513 Crazy fight

    With the increase in Lin Tian''s strength, the Lone Death Style became more and more powerful.


    The so-called Destruction of All Things meant the Destruction of All Things and the Destruction of All Techniques.


    Hu Changzai clearly felt the terror of this move and at this moment, he did not dare to be careless. At this moment, he saw Lin Tian as an opponent.


    However, this did not mean that he was afraid of Lin Tian. It should be known that when he killed someone, this brat was still wearing open pants ¡­. Thus, if he wanted to kill her, it would be a little difficult.


    However, Hu Changzai had no intention of holding back.


    "Kill!" Hu Wugui suddenly made a move, the strength of his palm shot out towards Lin Tian with an earth-shattering force.


    The might of that palm was extremely terrifying and it was almost completely unstoppable. Lin Tian also felt the terror of that palm and the strength of his body also adjusted to the extreme.


    This Hu Bugui was extremely powerful. His strength was at the peak of the ninth level of the Manifestation stage. He was only a hair away from the Emperor Stage.


    Lin Tian naturally would not underestimate this kind of existence.


    So in order to prevent accidents from happening, Lin Tian directly adjusted his physical body''s strength to its peak condition.


    After all, he had now reached the sixth layer of the Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Physique, the Stainless Body.


    His current physical body was completely incapable of concealing any of the filth. At any time, it was as pure and flawless as a piece of unpolished jade.


    Of course, with such a physique, the resistance against external forces would be even stronger. Right now, unless it was an existence at the Saint realm, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person, even if it was an Emperor Realm expert, to kill him in one move.


    After all, the strength of his physical body was there.


    The moment his palm met with the spear, the destructive force was crushed by Hu Bugui''s palm in a blink of an eye.


    Lin Tian was not discouraged as he used another move.


    "Void!"


    The sixth form of the Heavenly Dragon''s Tomb, Void.


    This move was the power of nothingness. The so-called power of nothingness could annihilate almost everything, completely shattering all the power and ultimately turning it into nothingness.


    Of course, Lin Tian hadn''t completely mastered these moves to the most powerful realm yet, and the power of these moves required even more powerful strength to be able to do it.


    Although Lin Tian''s current strength wasn''t weak, there was still a large gap between him and a so-called expert.


    Actually, if Lin Tian''s strength was at the Saint realm, if he used this move again, he would be able to instantly kill the same Saint Realm existence. But right now, Lin Tian still couldn''t rely on the technique buried by the dragon to directly kill Hu Bugui.


    However, the force of nothingness of this move completely annihilated that palm strike of Hu Bugui just now.


    But even so, Lin Tian still felt that palm and spear''s recoil still hit his body a bit, causing his blood to churn a little.


    However, the same thing happened to Hu Bugui. He could feel the blood in his body churning.


    However, this made Hu Bugui even more excited.


    To be honest, he hadn''t felt such a feeling in a long time.


    He had always met experts who were stronger than him. For example, the few holy elders within their sacred gate. He, Hu Bugui, was completely unable to defeat them.


    Therefore, Hu Bugui would not go and fight with them.


    Some of them were from the same generation as Jiang Dali.


    However, this group of people was quite boring. Hu Bugui could kill them all without any reason.


    There was no point in fighting such a person.


    Therefore, Hu Bugui didn''t want to fight with them.


    So when he met Lin Tian, Hu Bugui was especially excited.


    Because on Lin Tian''s body, he found the feeling of meeting an opponent he hadn''t in a long time.


    With Lin Tian''s strength, he could completely fight with him. Moreover, he didn''t need to worry about his own attacks being too heavy to kill him.


    Hu Bugui even had a faint feeling that this Lin Tian would very likely kill him.


    A fifty percent chance of victory was what made Hu Bugui so excited.


    "Kid, I like you very much. You''re an opponent!" Hu Bugui licked his tongue and spoke sinisterly to Lin Tian.


    "F * ck off, laozi doesn''t like men!" Lin Tian did not hesitate and shot out another shot.


    And this spear was the strongest move that Lin Tian had grasped so far ¡ª ¡ª Dragon Slaying!


    This was the most exquisite technique of the Dragon''s Tomb, and also the most powerful technique, Dragon Slaying.


    That''s right, it was to slay a dragon. What was the most powerful thing in the entire Sky Dragon Continent?


    This was a dragon, but this move was meant to slay dragons. One could imagine just how terrifying and terrifying this move was.


    This stance, when cultivated to its most powerful level, could slay dragons!


    After this move was displayed, Hu Bugui''s expression immediately changed. The others also looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. Obviously, they didn''t think that Lin Tian would have such a terrifying technique.


    The might of this strike even brought with it a trace of the power of the Great Power of the Heavens and the Earth. With the power of the heavens and the power of the earth, it was completely the strongest attack.


    Hu Bugui also felt the terror of this spear. However, at the same time, he was also somewhat excited and scared. His entire body was trembling. However, the more he felt this way, the more excited he became.


    Even he himself found it hard to believe that such a perverted combination could exist.


    He laughed out loud, "Boy, you''re really great. This move can actually make me feel scared. You''re really good. I haven''t felt this kind of feeling for a long time!"


    "Afraid?" Lin Tian smiled slightly. That dragon scale spear suddenly shot towards Hu Bugui. If this spear fell, then that Hu Bugui wouldn''t have any means to defend, then this spear would be enough to kill that madman Hu ¡­


    "You want to kill me just like that?" Hu Bugui suddenly laughed out loud: "You are too naive, kid. You forced me to use all of my strength. It seems that even if you die, I will still be proud of myself."


    After saying that, Hu Changzai pointed his finger towards the sky and roared, "A taboo body. Unseal it for me!"


    In the blink of an eye, the sky immediately changed. Countless dark clouds frantically appeared and the ground began to crack.


    In the next moment, Hu Bugui''s body also underwent a huge change.


    A terrifying power surged out from his body.


    Not only was there a terrifying black qi, there was also an endless killing intent, ruthlessness, bloodshed and the aura of slaughter. It immediately spread out in front of Lin Tian and Hu Bugui.


    "It''s a Forbidden Body!" Right at this time, Lin Tian''s right hand slightly moved. Suddenly, the Celestial Mouse''s somewhat shocked voice rang out.


    "What, you know about this level of physique?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but ask.


    This kind of physique was somewhat terrifying, actually making even Lin Tian''s heart palpitate. He felt the strong energy fluctuation and the power that was as frightening as the abyss. In the next moment, it seemed that Hu Bugui would turn into an abyss and devour him!

 C514 One-hit kill

    "Of course." At this time, the voice of the Celestial Mouse also sounded out.


    "Originally, I thought that such a forbidden body would not appear, but I never would have thought that I would see another one here." There was a trace of surprise in the Celestial Mouse''s voice.


    Clearly, it did not expect Hu Bugui to possess such a frightening physique because of the taboo body he possessed.


    The Celestial Mouse then explained, "A forbidden body can be considered a type of heavenly creature. However, this kind of physique is extremely frightening and powerful beyond compare. The main thing is that it''s a forbidden power. This kind of power shouldn''t exist in this world."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian''s head was full of confusion when he heard this. In his heart, he didn''t really understand what this meant.


    Perhaps he knew that what he said made it difficult for Lin Tian to understand, so he decided to directly change the explanation for the Celestial Mouse: "Actually, this so called forbidden body has the most terrifying power in the world. For example, this person in front of me has the most terrifying power, the body of the forbidden body is an existence that even the heavens can feel, so you can naturally imagine how terrifying that power is."


    "Even the heavens want a forbidden power?" Lin Tian was slightly startled before he looked at Hu Bugui in disbelief.


    He had never expected that this Hu Bugui would possess such a physique. It sounded quite frightening.


    But it only sounded a little bit.


    But knowing Hu Bugui''s trump card, Lin Tian naturally didn''t hesitate in the slightest.


    He attacked directly, but this time, he did not consider any other problems.


    He only knew that the person in front of him, who dared to scheme against Yun Huang, deserved to die.


    Even if he had some so-called taboo body.


    Lin Tian suddenly attacked.


    The Divine Palace suddenly shook, and in that instant, the blood in his body instantly boiled.


    As the blood on Lin Tian''s body boiled, in the next moment, Lin Tian once again turned from a humanoid form into a blood-red dragon.


    The moment the blood-red long dragon that Lin Tian had transformed into appeared again, everyone was stunned.


    They never would have thought that Lin Tian would actually be able to transform into a long dragon again. Before, when Lin Tian came out of the forest, he was a blood-red long dragon, but what sort of sacred art did they think Lin Tian had?


    Since he could transform into a dragon, he didn''t think too much about it.


    But seeing Lin Tian''s change again, they were immediately in disbelief.


    This was because they could clearly see that Lin Tian had transformed into the dragon form. It was a true dragon.


    With the body of a dragon.


    It had to be known that in the entire Sky Dragon Continent, the dragon race hadn''t appeared for a long time. But how could there be a dragon race here?


    Moreover, it was a transformed human.


    Those disciples of the nine sects all had stunned and incredulous faces as they looked at Lin Tian.


    At the same time, all of the enforcers of True Martial Pavilion, along with the enforcer lord that Lin Tian had seen before, as well as countless sect heads and masters, were all watching this battle from the shadows.


    This was a battle between true masters.


    But they also didn''t think that Lin Tian would be able to transform into a dragon in the end.


    It had to be known that in the history of the Sky Dragon Continent, the dragon clan was just a legend.


    However, he didn''t expect that he would be able to see the existence of the dragon clan with his own eyes.


    It was a dragon that showed its fangs and brandished its claws.


    Although everyone had different thoughts at that moment, they were all full of expectation as they watched Lin Tian use such methods. How many moves could that crazy Hu possibly take from Lin Tian''s hands?


    And at this time, Hu Bugui, who unsealed his own Forbidden Body''s God Power, stared at Lin Tian. He also did not think that Lin Tian would ultimately choose to transform into a dragon and fight him in the end.


    However, he was not the least bit afraid. On the contrary, he was rather excited.


    This was because after Lin Tian had turned into a dragon, it actually caused him to faintly tremble with excitement.


    After all, this was his final battle. He really wanted to see who was stronger between Lin Tian and him.


    Thinking of this, that crazy Hu didn''t have the slightest hesitation and directly adjusted his body''s strength to its best. In the next moment, he fiercely pounced towards Lin Tian.


    At this moment, his entire body was surging with strong black qi. Intense baleful qi and boundless evil qi. In an instant, all of the forbidden power was used by him and was then thrown towards Lin Tian.


    This attack seemed to be aimed at killing Lin Tian and not giving him the slightest chance.


    At this time, Lin Tian, who had turned into a giant blood-red dragon, roared and fiercely rushed towards that crazy Hu. In the next moment, the huge dragon directly passed through the crazy Hu''s body.


    A huge bloody hole immediately appeared on the body of the crazy Hu. On top of the bloody hole, black and purple blood kept on flowing out, and it was quite horrifying to look at.


    The answer was out!


    The final result was ¨C one move!


    That''s right, Lin Tian had directly used one move to defeat that crazy Hu.


    More accurately speaking, it wasn''t a defeat, but a execution.


    Because, at this moment, all life was completely lost around Lunatic Hu''s body.


    He was dead.


    At this time, after passing through Madman Hu''s body and digging out a huge bloody hole in front of him, Lin Tian immediately turned back into his human form from his dragon form.


    Only, the current Lin Tian had clearly consumed a lot of his strength.


    Moreover, the most important thing was that the current Lin Tian''s arm was constantly emitting a black-purple energy. That energy was constantly corroding Lin Tian''s arm.


    It caused his entire body to emit a huge black infernal energy.


    Clearly, crazy Hu wasn''t so weak that he couldn''t take a single blow. Lin Tian forced himself to use the most powerful method to kill him and he also paid quite a price.


    However, this little bit of damage was nothing to Lin Tian. It had to be known that the corrosive strength of that demon was many times more terrifying than this power.


    Lin Tian didn''t have the slightest problem, let alone this.


    This was even less of a problem.


    At this moment, after that crazy Hu had died, his body also swiftly rotted. Not long later, he had actually turned into a pile of black mud. It was quite a terrifying sight.


    However, when he turned around to look at the crowd, everyone had an expression as if they had seen a ghost as they looked at Lin Tian.


    Just how powerful was this kid?


    How could he be so powerful? He must know that the person he just killed was no ordinary person. That was crazy Hu!


    However, the truth was right in front of their eyes. Moreover, they had all seen the battle just now. Even if they didn''t believe it, they had no choice but to believe their eyes. After all, they were witnesses.


    Lin Tian clapped his hands, then returned to Yun Huang''s side. With a face full of doting, he said to Yun Huang: "Alright, this disgusting and disgusting fly is finally dead. Should we properly reminisce about the old days?"


    "Who wants to talk to you about old times?" Yun Huang held onto Hua Ruyi''s hand, then snorted at Lin Tian: "I and Little Sister Hua are good at meeting, there are still a lot of things to talk about, go away!"


    "..." Lin Tian immediately shut his mouth, but the matter that gave him a headache once again rushed into his mind. How should he deal with the relationship between Yun Huang and Hua Rui?


    But now, these two people seemed to view him as an empty person.


    That was awkward.


    But everyone else seemed to have gotten to know Lin Tian once more.


    One by one, the disciples of the nine sects, or should be said to be the disciples of the eight sects, arrived in front of Lin Tian.


    Lin Tian was rather polite as he returned the greetings one by one. He didn''t seem to care at all that he had just casually killed that crazy Hu with a single move.


    At this moment, the most awkward person was Jiang Feng.


    Logically speaking, he should have directly gone to Lin Tian to seek revenge. After all, before coming here this time, the clan elder had also said that if he saw Lin Tian, it would also mean that he had seen the enemy that had killed Jiang Fan.


    But the question was, did he dare?


    Did he dare to challenge Lin Tian, or make a move against Lin Tian?


    Crazy Hu died right in front of his eyes. He boasted that he was the descendant of the Nine Infant Demons of the great demon race. He possessed the bloodline of the great demon, and was considered a top genius amongst the tens of thousands.


    However, he also believed that he was absolutely no match for that crazy Hu, but now, there appeared another fierce person who could directly kill that madman Hu in one move.


    If he dared to fight with Lin Tian, then there would only be one result, and that would be that the next person to fall would be him.


    Even though Lin Tian had taken away their demon clan''s proud daughter ¡ª ¡ª Yun Huang.


    Lin Tian quickly fought with the disciples of the other eight sects. After all, strong people were always respected, especially this strong person. He had killed Madman Hu, whom they had always wanted to kill but couldn''t!


    "Brother Lin, but, you killed a saint of the Sacred Gate. I''m afraid that the elders of the Sacred Gate will object to you. At that time, I will inevitably cause you trouble ¡­" Just at this time, Shi Yan spoke to Lin Tian.


    "No matter. If they dare to find trouble with me, I don''t mind bringing them even greater trouble." Lin Tian slightly smiled.


    "Brother Lin need not worry too much. Everything that we have done was monitored by the Law Enforcement Envoy. The Law Enforcement Envoy did not intervene to stop us. I presume that there is nothing wrong." At this moment, Fang Buyao from the Innerheart Sect looked towards Lin Tian as he spoke with a hint of relief in his voice.


    "Even so, even though the elders are usually in seclusion, after such a big incident, they must come out to investigate." The Dao Spirit said worriedly, "After all, that Hu Bugui is said to be the Saint Gate''s ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, he seemed to have realized something. The next moment, he stopped talking.


    Not a single word came out.


    Lin Tian was slightly surprised, but he did not think much about it.


    However, he was somewhat moved. He knew that at this moment, everyone was worried for him. It was most likely because he had just killed Madman Hu. This made him have a good impression of them.

 C515 Parental news

    In the instant that Lin Tian killed that crazy Hu.


    Heavenly Spirit Realm, Saint Gate.


    The so-called ''sacred door'' was actually because the sect leaders were all Saints.


    Saints had comprehended the power of laws, and Saints themselves were the laws of the world.


    That was why the Sacred Gate held the existence of the other sects in the Heavenly Spirit Realm in high regard.


    After all, a Saint realm expert could easily suppress all experts from other sects.


    At this moment, inside a secret room in the Holy Gate.


    At this moment, there were seven people, sitting together in a seven star posture. Rays of light were faintly emitted from their bodies, shining on a black crystal-like piece of jade in front of them.


    However, at a certain moment, the old man in the middle of the Seven Stars Grand Formation suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    As a result, the entire seven star situation immediately collapsed. At the same time, the other old men were also affected by the old man in the center and coughed out a mouthful of blood.


    The seven of them covered their own chests. Their chests were quickly splitting open, and thick black and purple blood flowed out.


    The black crystal jade in front of them, which was emitting a gentle light, was now completely filled with light. Small cracks quickly appeared on its surface. It seemed as if it could crack at any moment and collapse at any moment.


    In an instant, the old man in the center suddenly shouted in a mournful voice, "Who, who killed my son? If I knew who it was, I would have definitely torn you into ten thousand pieces!"


    "Sect Leader, please calm your anger. The formation of the seven star formation is just at this moment, and you can''t disrupt our sect''s grand plan just because it''s too complicated!" The other elders all understood why the old man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    It turned out that Hu Bugui had died.


    When the few elders first heard of this, they were somewhat shocked. However, they immediately recovered from their shock.


    Hu Bugui''s death was indeed a major event, but there was still another crucial matter at hand.


    That was the formation force of the Seven Stars Grand Formation. It was something that could not be delayed any longer.


    They had plotted for such a long time, and now it was even more impossible for them to be distracted.


    However, they were also extremely puzzled in their hearts. With Hu Bugui''s strength, who could kill Hu Bugui? And who could kill him? Could it be that they didn''t know his identity? He actually dared to kill Hu Bugui?


    Could it be that he didn''t know that the current Sect Leader of the Sacred Gate was actually Hu Bugui''s biological father?


    The head of the school spent a lot of effort to nurture that Hu Bugui. He did a lot of sensational things back then, but they were all suppressed by the head of the school.


    However, since he dared to kill Hu Bugui, his strength must not be weak. After he mastered the formation of the Seven Stars Great Power, he would directly go and search. He wanted to see who exactly was courting death.


    Even if his own son, Hu Bugui, had been killed, he would not give up on this Seven Stars Grand Formation. After all, this was an even bigger matter for their sacred sect.


    However, the kid who killed his son deserved to die.


    After all, just now, there was only a tiny bit of difference in the Seven Stars Grand Force and it could completely be practiced successfully. However, at the last moment, because Hu Bugui died, it triggered the backlash of the blood essence in his body, thus ruining the Seven Stars Grand Force. However, this was not a big deal, at most, it was only the time to condense the Seven Stars Grand Force successfully, and it was delayed by a few days.


    After all, the overall strength of the seven star situation had already been fully formed.


    When all of the force of seven stars had gathered onto this "Black Essence Crystal," he would go out and tear apart the murderer of his son.


    As he thought of this, the sect leader did not think too much and started chanting another incantation. The other holy elders also resumed their duties and the room quickly quieted down. It was as if nothing had happened at all.


    However, the jade was densely covered in cracks, indicating that everything that had just happened was real.


    At the same time, in an unknown location in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    A man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the girl beside him who was also cultivating with her eyes closed. He said softly: "Wushuang, I feel Tian''er''s aura."


    "What?" The girl beside him suddenly became excited: "Brother Feng, do you mean to say that Tian''er has come to the Heavenly Spirit Realm?"


    "That should be the case. I can feel the aura of the Dragon Transformation token on that kid''s body." The man looked at the girl''s excited expression and said with a faint smile.


    This man and woman were not strangers, they were Lin Tian''s parents, the peerless talents that came out of Tian Luo Kingdom, a single person who had entered and left the Emerald Holy Valley seven times, abducting the Holy Maiden of the Emerald Holy Valley. Currently, he was an expert of the Saint realm, Lin Feng!


    And that woman, was none other than the Holy Daughter of the Emerald Holy Valley, Lu Wushuang.


    At this moment, the two of them were together.


    But from the looks of it, they had been paying attention to Lin Tian.


    "This boy''s speed of growth is faster than I imagined. No wonder he is the true heaven''s chosen." Lin Feng continued to speak with a tone full of gratification.


    "Brother Feng, I don''t even know how to face him. Although I gave birth to him, I didn''t raise him for even a few days. I don''t know if he will hate us or not." The excited expression on that Lu Wushuang''s face was instantly replaced by a dim light.


    She didn''t know how Lin Tian looked like, how tall and how he looked like, or what kind of character he had, or whether he would forgive his heartless parents and give Lin Tian to Uncle Yu as soon as he was born.


    When he thought here, Lu Wushuang let out a faint sigh. Then, she tightly held onto Lin Feng''s hand: "Brother Feng, I''m suddenly a little scared."


    "That kid is a chosen one of heaven, this is fated by the heavens." After all, this boy had grown up all the way. Most of the time, he had been on his own. Who knew what he was thinking? They had already known about the death of Uncle Yu.


    However, since this boy has come, we will have to meet him. Moreover, no matter what, I was unable to detect the aura of the horned dragon just now, if I had guessed correctly, this boy might have encountered an accident among them, and also, he has come for the True Martial Grand Ceremony. I am afraid that if he had come for this, he would have encountered some trouble. As he said this, Lin Feng also sighed. Then, he turned to Lu Wushuang and spoke.


    "Alright, I also really want to go and see him, even if it''s just from afar." Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Wushuang and Lin Feng set out on the journey to find Lin Tian.

 C516 Intense war

    However, regardless of what happened in the Sacred Gate or the news of his parents coming, Lin Tian naturally did not know anything. However, he knew something else.


    The intense battle was about to begin.


    This was because the final rule had been set before entering the Ruins of Holy Light, and the rule was that only thirty people would be selected to enter the next round.


    However, there were at least a hundred disciples that had entered the Holy Ruins this time. Moreover, there were humans, demons, and barbarians.


    However, that madman Hu had just killed two or three disciples. However, at this time, there was still a large majority of people present.


    Moreover, the barbarians had returned after they had received the news that crazy Hu had died.


    Just now, the eight disciples spoke a lot of advice to Lin Tian. Although it wasn''t very useful, it still allowed Lin Tian to more or less figure out Hu Bugui''s identity.


    He also knew that if he killed Hu Bugui, he would have to bear the consequences of his revenge.


    The saints in the Holy Gate would definitely not let him off. However, it would be useless to kill them as long as he could not think of the future.


    When the troops came, they would block; when the water came, it would flood the land.


    Not to mention that he had the True Martial Pavilion guarding him, Lin Tian did not believe that the Holy Gate would dare to so brazenly kill him.


    One had to know that he was the leader of the six great sects of the Western Spiritual Realm. He represented the six great sects and represented the Western Spiritual Region to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    This identity alone was a Death-Free Token!


    If True Martial Pavilion could not protect him, then how could they be considered as the guardians of Zhen Wu Jie?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn''t think anymore. Adding on to that, within the Holy Ruins, the Enforcer''s voice also sounded out. That voice was very simple, it said that he wanted Lin Tian and the others to battle as soon as possible and eliminate the other disciples with lower strength.


    In the end, only the strongest 30 people were left to participate in the upcoming Zhen Wu War.


    Lin Tian did not have many other thoughts at the moment, especially after seeing Yun Huang, he did not want to think about other things. What True Martial Grand Ceremony, what Chief Battle, Lin Tian Tong did not care!


    Right now, he only wanted to sit together with Yun Huang and quietly say a few words, that was enough.


    However, Lin Tian''s strength was so terrifying that the eight sect disciples, the Fey, and the Goliath disciples no longer had any desire to challenge him.


    Of course, Yun Huang and Hua Ruoyi were excluded as well.


    After all, one was Lin Tian''s fiancee, and the other should be his soulmate. These two could be considered Lin Tian''s women.


    They were not stupid enough to want to touch Lin Tian''s woman ¡­


    Therefore, the eight disciples of the Six Great Sects, as well as the members of the Monster race and the barbarian race, started to fight a fierce battle with each other.


    Without that lunatic Hu Bugui present, the battle between the two of them could be considered a relatively restrained one. It was just to the point.


    Once the opponent admitted defeat, they would immediately stop. They would absolutely not kill him.


    Of course, the moment someone admitted defeat, they would be automatically sent out by the Ruins of Holy Light. Of course, that would count as elimination.


    At this time, Lin Tian looked with interest at the surrounding people fighting a great battle. Then, he stood beside Yun Huang and Hua Ruyi. Hearing the two of them constantly whispering to each other, his heart was at peace for a moment.


    In an instant, Lin Tian also felt that this life was truly beautiful.


    However, Lin Tian didn''t have any interest in the disciples that were chosen from the Western Spirit Region, but that Li Wu Huan, Lin Tian still had to help.


    After all, Li Wu Huan was his senior, and he was also a disciple from the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    So when someone was about to challenge Li Wu Huan, Lin Tian only said one sentence: "He is my senior brother."


    Everyone else immediately understood. All of them gave up on the idea of challenging Li Wu Huan.


    Li Wu Huan was also enjoying her leisure as she stood by the side and watched the battle leisurely.


    The most intense battle this time was between the disciples of the Titan God School and the barbarian race.


    After all, the barbarian race trained in the body.


    Coincidentally, the Herculean Sect also trained its physical body.


    The Herculean Sect had always thought that the barbarian cultivation method was too old-fashioned. The reason why the barbarian race had such immense strength and strong physiques was because they were born with such unique physical conditions.


    That was why they felt disdain towards him. After all, they truly relied on physical body cultivation methods to reach the pinnacle of physical strength.


    This was the function of the practice method. Compared to those barbarians, who only knew how to use brute force, this method was much better.


    The clash of their bodies was the most intense. Therefore, from time to time, the barbarian disciples and the disciples of the Herculean Sect would be eliminated.


    As for the other seven sects'' disciples, most of their opponents were chosen as Demon Race.


    However, there were also many top talents of the demon race; their strength was quite good. There were battles between the disciples of the seven sects and the demon clan. In a short period of time, the battle between them was difficult to resolve.


    After a long time, only 30 people had been eliminated, but there were still more than 60 remaining. In other words, another half of them had to be eliminated.


    Lin Tian did not have any intentions of attacking. He had already proven his strength.


    Originally, Hu Bugui was the strongest disciple of the nine sects, but he was still instantly killed by Lin Tian.


    Thus, there was no need to fight with the other disciples anymore.


    After an unknown period of time, the law enforcer''s authoritative voice finally ended the battle.


    At this time, there were only thirty disciples left in the entire Holy Ruins.


    Of course, Lin Tian and the others were among them.


    Of course, the top disciples of the other eight sects, such as Jiang Dali, Fang Buyao, Shiyan, Dao-spirit, and Ouyang Ying, all stayed behind. After all, they were the top disciples of the eight strongest sects in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    When these thirty people were finally selected, everyone felt a glimmer of light before their eyes, followed by a wave of dizziness. However, in the next moment, they were all transported out of the Holy Ruins and to a different place.


    "Welcome, everyone. You have officially become eligible to participate in the True Martial Grand Ceremony. I am True Martial Pavilion''s Fang Yan." Just as everyone was about to adapt to the light in front of them, a voice suddenly sounded beside their ears.


    Everyone raised their heads and just in time to see a person with the appearance of an elder standing on a high platform not too far away. This person was currently looking down on them as he spoke to everyone with a smile.


    "This person is one of the main elders of the True Martial Pavilion. He is also the elder in charge of the True Martial Grand Ceremony." Right at this time, Fang Buyao explained to Lin Tian from the side.


    Lin Tian could clearly feel it, but he did not hit a smiling person. Moreover, he did not know many things, so when someone tried to dispel his doubts, he was happy to see it happen.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian also understood that from the looks of it, Hua Qianlei and the others who had accompanied Lin Tian and the rest should no longer appear at this time. This was because from the moment they entered the Holy Ruins, they had never appeared again.

 C517 The rules of the grand ceremony of the genuine force

    Actually, Lin Tian had already guessed that this year''s True Martial Grand Ceremony was very likely to be a sealed off battle and was not publicly announced.


    The elders of the Sect were also the leaders of the demon race and the sect leaders. These people should be able to watch, but couldn''t interfere. This should be the result of a comprehensive assessment.


    Of course, this was also the most fair method.


    Lin Tian quietly looked at Fang Yan and then listened carefully to the rest of the arrangements.


    "Disciples, first of all, I must congratulate all of you. For you to be able to become one of these thirty individuals, it has already proven that you can be considered one of the top geniuses in the entire Zhen Wu Jie." Fang Yan was the first to speak, actually speaking words of congratulations.


    "But this time, just becoming a genius of Zhen Wu Jie is far from enough. At the very least, if you want to join my True Martial Pavilion, the potential, talent, and combat prowess that you have displayed today is far from enough!" In order to suppress their anger, Fang Yan''s words revealed just how powerful the True Martial Pavilion was. In order to recruit disciples, one could only be found once every 10,000 miles.


    Seeing how everyone was listening attentively, Fang Yan''s face slowed down a little. He then said, "Alright, I won''t waste any more words. This time, let''s talk about the rules of the Zhen Wu Ceremony ¡­"


    As he spoke to here, all of the disciples became spirited and began to listen attentively, fearing that they would miss any of the details. It must be known that this battle was extremely critical, so naturally there would not be any carelessness.


    At this moment, Fang Yan was carefully introducing the rules of this year''s True Martial Grand Ceremony. After all, rules decided everything.


    This time, the rules of battle were relatively simple. There were two rounds in total.


    In the first round, the leaders of each region were chosen to participate in the battle. The final battle would decide who would be the champion of the entire Zhen Wu Jie.


    The True Martial World was divided into the four great realms. The Heavenly Spirit Realm, West Spirit Realm, Demon Spirit Realm, and Chaos Spirit Realm.


    There were many leaders in the sky spirit realm. Since there were nine sects in the sky spirit realm and all of them were extremely powerful super sects, the head disciples of each sect were the head disciples of the sky spirit realm.


    In addition, the other three territories all had one leader.


    For example, after participating in the Six Sects'' Debate, Lin Tian became the chief of the Western Spirit Region and came to participate in this year''s chief of war.


    The leader of the Demon Spirit Domain was none other than Jiang Feng.


    The chief of the Spirit Calamity Realm was a barbarian named Wu Shan.


    This was the battle between the leaders.


    In addition, there was another round of battle. It could be said to be a battle, but it wasn''t accurate at all. To be more precise, it was a selection.


    It was precisely from these thirty disciples that potential talent, battle strength, and strength were selected. They were all first-rate geniuses.


    Then, the True Martial Pavilion would send out an invitation to accept him as a disciple of the True Martial Pavilion. With the cultivation of the endless resources of the True Martial Pavilion, he would be able to rapidly advance.


    For these thirty disciples, this was without a doubt the news that they were being absorbed the most.


    And this time, they didn''t need to fight; they only needed to pass the trial.


    The fight for the championship was fought by the heads of the nine sects of the Heaven''s Spirit Region, as well as the leaders of the Monster Spirit Realm, the Berserkers of the Chaos Spirit Realm, and the leaders of the six great sects of the Western Spirit Region.


    Of course, due to the different rules, the rewards after the final victory would also be different.


    In the end, the champion of the battle would obtain victory. Not only would he be praised by True Martial Pavilion, but his name would spread throughout the entire True Martial World. He wouldn''t even need to pass the test to be accepted as a disciple of True Martial Pavilion.


    If one was strong enough, they could even directly ascend to become a True Martial Pavilion Elder.


    Of course, if one wanted to pursue greater power, they could also choose to pass the elder''s test and become a true disciple of the True Martial Pavilion.


    The so-called Genuine Disciples corresponded to the disciples of the Earthen Martial Arts and the Heaven Martial Disciples. The heaven''s pride level experts of the True Martial World were referred to as the True Martial Disciples and the heaven''s pride level experts of the Earth Martial Realm were referred to as the Earth Martial Disciples.


    These True Martial Disciples were the disciples that the True Martial Pavilion focused on training.


    As for them, they would have the chance to leave the True Martial World and head towards the Sky Dragon Continent. They would have the strength to contend against the disciples of other great realms.


    Not only would he have a chance to become famous in the Sky Dragon Continent, but he would also get endless benefits.


    Countless master teacher''s guidance, endless cultivation resources, countless martial arts secret manuals, and even divine weapon spirit artifacts.


    All of this, as long as you display enough strength, potential, and talent, is completely possible to obtain.


    As for those disciples that weren''t the chief disciples, if they wanted to obtain all of this then it would be a bit difficult. They would need to put in a great deal of effort in True Martial Pavilion.


    Of course, the True Martial Pavilion would also invite a few true martial artists to test out the strength of the final victor.


    To Lin Tian, this was what he wanted the most. He wanted to test just how strong he was.


    As for cultivation resources, Lin Tian did not care that much. After all, his body of cultivation resources was inexhaustible and he rarely used the power of the outside world.


    His physical body, whirlpool dantian, dragon blood, dragon scale spear, small grass, and even heavenly fiend Yin Corpses, any one of these treasures would be enough to shake the entire Sky Dragon Continent, there was no need for him to borrow other cultivation resources.


    He also had enough spirit stones on him to sustain his cultivation.


    After that, if he were to encounter any demons, then those devils would be his true cultivation resource.


    The thing he was most concerned about was his own strength. Of course, if he obtained an extremely good result, the True Martial Pavilion would help him spread his reputation. This was something Lin Tian was also concerned about.


    Right now, Lin Tian was only guessing that his parents should be in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    However, he didn''t know where exactly this place was and he couldn''t find it because that would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, he could use this True Martial Grand Ceremony to spread his reputation.


    When the name of Lin Tian spread throughout the entire Zhen Wu Jie, it would save the most effort for his parents to come to him.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but want to give it a try.


    "Alright, next, I will announce a person''s name and step forward." Fang Yan saw all of the disciples'' performances and started to call out names.


    "The head disciple of the Sacred Gate, Hu Bugui!" Fang Yan recited.


    No one answered.


    Fang Yan''s tone turned serious again, "Hu Bugui!"


    Still, no one answered. Not long after, an enforcer hurried over and whispered a few words to Fang Yan.


    Fang Yan''s expression changed drastically, but it soon returned to normal.


    This time, he read again: "West Spirit Region, the heads of the six great sects. Which one is Lin Tian?"


    "Me!" Lin Tian softly stepped forward and smiled as he spoke to Fang Yan.


    "It''s you?" Fang Yan''s face was filled with astonishment, but he soon recovered and said, "That''s right."


    After saying this, Fang Yan once again began to recite the names of the others.

 C518 Integral race

    The other leaders were all the disciples of the nine sects.


    For example, the head disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, ShiYan.


    Of course, there was also the main disciple of the Shadow Sect, Ouyang Ying, and the main disciple of the Titan God Sect, Jiang Dali.


    The head disciple of the Inch Gate, Fang Buyi, as well as the head disciple of the Nine-Pen Sect, Gai Jiuyou, the three geniuses of the Three Talents Sect, and the head disciple of the Rainflower Sect, Xiao Wan Su.


    Of course, Jiang Feng of the Monster race had long since made all the preparations, and Dark Mountain was the same.


    Actually, that barbarian was quite interesting. Before the battle between the chief of the True Martial University, Wushan had specially come in front of Lin Tian and said a few words to him.


    To be careless meant that even though that crazy Hu was killed by Lin Tian, it didn''t mean that Lin Tian was invincible.


    He would know when Lin Tian fought with Dark Mountain.


    Although Lin Tian didn''t understand why Dark Mountain came over to specifically tell him this, since he said it, then he must fulfill his request.


    Lin Tian was definitely going to fight with this Wu Shan. He would fight with one move and kill him with one second, letting him have a feeling of existence in front of Lin Tian!


    The battle quickly began, the first round was the points competition, depending on the number of points you had, finally taking out the top 5.


    Among the nine sects, aside from the crazy Hu of the Sacred Gate, who had already been killed by Lin Tian in one move, only three people from the Three Treasures Sect remained.


    There were actually eleven people here, eight sect disciples. Including Lin Tian, Wu Shan, and Jiang Feng, there was a total of eleven people.


    And of these eleven players, only five were chosen. The pressure was quite great.


    The first round of the points competition quickly began.


    At the same time, the others also began to undergo the trials carried out by the True Martial Pavilion.


    If one''s talent, aptitude, and other strength were all incomparably tyrannical, then it was very possible that they would receive an invitation from the True Martial Pavilion to become its disciple.


    Of course, the disciples of the True Martial Pavilion were also divided into different levels. The strongest, highest status, talent, and the best aptitude would naturally be those disciples that were called ''True Martial Disciples''.


    As for the other disciples, they were just ordinary disciples. These disciples had just entered True Martial Pavilion, and were only ordinary disciples.


    Their treatment was completely different from that of a disciple who could become the chief disciple.


    "First match of the ranking tournament, Jiang Feng from the Demon Spirit Domain against Nine Pylons of Nine Nether Domain!" Right at this moment, after he introduced the rules to everyone, Fang Yan directly got everyone to fight without wasting any time.


    The others all turned to look at the crowd on the stage.


    In the points competition, as the name implied, the victors of these 11 people would directly score a point in two matches. The loser would not have any points, and in the end, according to the result of the match, the top 5 would be chosen.


    And because they needed to fight with each other, there wasn''t any problem to determine the victor. These opponents were all randomly assigned, as long as the final result was after two or three rounds, then everything would be fine.


    Jiang Feng was the grandson of the Nine Infants. Previously, Lin Tian did not notice, but the moment Jiang Feng attacked, Lin Tian had already noticed. After all, the Jiang Fan he killed earlier was the grandson of the Nine Infants.


    Lin Tian had a deep impression of him. Because of that aura, Lin Tian hadn''t forgotten about it at all.


    So, in the instant that Jiang Feng made his move, Lin Tian felt it. In that instant, Lin Tian''s eyes slightly narrowed.


    He had never thought that Jiang Feng would be this cautious, he guessed that Jiang Feng should know that he had killed Jiang Fan, but he was acting so similar to him now, so it was impossible to tell that Jiang Feng had a grudge against Lin Tian, but it was most likely because Lin Tian had killed Hu Bugui.


    After all, they were all afraid of Hu Bugui, and Lin Tian had killed Hu Bugui in one move, which should''ve scared this kid to death. However, Jiang Feng''s strength was not bad, and when he fought Nine Nether, it could be seen that this Jiang Feng''s strength was actually far stronger than that of Gai Jiutian.


    Therefore, there was no suspense in such a battle.


    He was defeated in two hundred moves by Jiang Feng.


    "Jiang Feng wins, one point accumulated!" Right at this moment, Fang Yan suddenly spoke.


    "Next battle, Mystic Spirit Domain''s Dark Mountain is going to fight against the Shadow Sect''s Ouyang Ying!" Fang Yan continued to speak, arranging the next battle.


    The main reason why the Shadow Sect was so frightening was because it used all sorts of assassination methods.


    The Shadow Sect had been focused on the art of assassination from the beginning, so almost all of the disciples in this sect were top-level assassins. They were extremely good at hiding and the key was that they could easily kill experts of the same level.


    However, if they were to fight, they would more or less be affected.


    After all, this wasn''t the battle style that they were most adept at. It was a fair fight, not a sneak attack.


    However, Ouyang Ying was still the chief disciple of the Shadow Sect, and the barbarians only relied on the strength of their fleshly bodies. Therefore, the two of them were in an intense battle.


    Lin Tian, who was watching from the side, was enjoying the show. To him, this was a huge surprise.


    To his surprise, he discovered that the technique displayed by Ouyang Ying was extremely useful to him.


    This was especially true for martial arts techniques such as footwork, because Ouyang Ying also knew how to use that technique.


    So to Lin Tian, it was extremely useful.


    Currently, Lin Tian felt that his God Transforming Steps seemed to have reached a bottleneck.


    This bottleneck required him to find a suitable opportunity to break through.


    Right now, Ouyang Ying and the Shadow Sect could be considered an opportunity.


    Lin Tian looked into his eyes.


    In the end, Wushan won by relying on his strength. He defeated Ouyang Ying. Although the battle was not Ouyang Ying''s specialty, it would not be a pity if he lost.


    From Ouyang Ying''s footwork, Lin Tian learned a lot of things, and these things could also be directly added into his God Transforming Steps, and could also increase the power of his God Transforming Steps.


    "The chief of the Western Spiritual Realm, Lin Tian, is fighting against the head of the Titan God Sect of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Jiang Dali!" Just at this time, Fang Yan continued to speak. This time, he actually put Lin Tian and Jiang Dali together to fight.


    Hearing that it was Lin Tian, Jiang Dali couldn''t help but curse: "Damn it, why did I meet such a fiend in my first battle!"


    Although there was no difference in the points competition as the two of them battled, he would sooner or later meet Lin Tian, but before this, he had personally witnessed Lin Tian''s body turning into a huge dragon and killing that crazy Hu.


    They didn''t know Lin Tian''s previous strength, nor did they want to know, but they knew how terrifying that crazy Hu was.


    But now, this Hu Ziyan directly died in front of them.


    The moment that Hu Bugui truly died, it was a huge shock to all of the disciples.


    So, right now Jiang Dali''s first opponent was Lin Tian. In his heart, he was naturally unwilling.


    After that, he instructed Jiang Dali: "You better not hurt this kid. This human can actually kill Hu Bugui. I really want to see just how strong he is."


    Jiang Li looked at Wu Shan snappily and cursed under his breath, "Idiot!"


    After he finished speaking, he didn''t say anything else.


    The barbarian race was indeed a barbarian race. They didn''t have any brains. ''Damn, did they really think that this kid was lucky enough to kill Hu Bugui?''


    Asking him to hold back, he was afraid that he would lose too badly in front of Lin Tian and be unable to raise his head in front of others!


    "Are you ready?" Right at this time, Lin Tian suddenly asked.


    Jiang Dali steeled his heart. "You son of a b * tch, laozi is going all out. Whoever''s afraid of you, I''ll just fight you to the death!"

 C519 One move one second!

    "Alright, I''ll die then. But I won''t believe it today, I won''t believe that you can defeat me in a single move!" Jiang Dali didn''t think too much about it at this point, but decided to direct all of the powerful energy around him. Their sects specialized in the cultivation of the body, and they believed that the human body was a treasure trove.


    As long as he was able to develop the strength of his fleshly body, he would be incomparably powerful.


    "I forgot, your Great Strength Divine Sect specializes in the cultivation of the physical body ¡­" Lin Tian slightly smiled, but immediately after, the smile on his face became even wider: "Actually, what a coincidence, I can also be considered a Body Cultivator ¡­."


    Jiang Li''s expression immediately changed when he heard this.


    This was because at this time, Lin Tian had also ripped the clothes on his upper body, revealing his strong muscles. Actually, it was more accurate to say that Lin Tian wasn''t some extremely terrifying muscle man. On the contrary, his entire body''s muscles were filled with explosive power. However, the key point was, his entire body''s muscles seemed to be giving off an indescribable feeling of comfort.


    At this moment, his body was surging with surging blood energy, like a raging river.


    At this moment, his body was also emitting a faint golden light.


    A Pure Body. This was the manifestation of a Pure Body.


    Her entire body was as white as an unpolished jade, without the slightest bit of filth or flaw.


    "F * ck! He''s really a Body Cultivator!" He thought that Lin Tian was only joking, but when Lin Tianming revealed his own body, Jiang Dali already knew that it was actually real.


    This kid was really a body cultivator!


    His body had been refined since he was young, so he could naturally distinguish if Lin Tian was real or fake. Currently, Lin Tian''s performance was not the slightest bit weaker than an expert who had cultivated the body for many years.


    He was very strong!


    "You ¡­ "You won''t be able to defeat me in one move right ¡­" Jiang Li asked in surprise.


    "I don''t know, but if I think about it, it should be about right." Lin Tian had a harmless smile as he spoke.


    "Mother Xi Pi ¡­" Jiang Dali didn''t waste any more words. He immediately channeled all the strength in his body and fiercely rushed towards Lin Tian.


    Overflowing power instantly surged out, directly colliding with Lin Tian''s body.


    Lin Tian did not retreat or avoid. He faced the adversity and also used his physical strength to meet Jiang Dali''s head-on.


    Terrifying power flooded out in all directions as the two of them instantly collided.


    However, in the next moment, their bodies suddenly separated.


    It was also at this moment that the superior and subordinate were determined.


    Lin Tian retreated half a step and stabilized his body. On the other hand, Jiang Dali''s body drew a beautiful arc in the air and then directly smashed into a wall behind him.


    "Bang!" "Bang bang!" Two voices sounded in quick succession as Jiang Dali''s body was embedded into the wall.


    Not long after that, pieces of debris flew into the air as Jiang Dali''s body slid down the wall, leaving behind the word "big" in the shape of a person.


    Blood flowed out from Jiang Dali''s mouth and nose, but waves of power continuously gushed out from his body, rapidly healing his wounds.


    At this moment, everyone in the audience who was watching this scene was petrified.


    They carefully rubbed their eyes and looked again. That was right, they did not see wrongly, Jiang Dali was actually directly smashed into the wall by Lin Tian''s move, becoming a humanoid wall.


    Just thinking about it made him feel pain for Jiang Dali...


    However, at the same time, raging waves were also set off in their hearts.


    Is this kid even human?


    Previously, when he had transformed into a giant dragon and killed that madman Hu with a single move, it was fine. But this time, he didn''t rely on any other means and simply relied on the strength of his physical body to destroy Jiang Dali with a single move?


    One had to know that Jiang Li was the head disciple of the Titan God Sect, the head disciple, one of the most talented people in the Heaven''s Spirit Realm. He had cultivated his physical body since young, and his physical body was incredibly powerful!


    However, it was so easily killed in one move?


    The way they opened it must have been wrong!


    All of them were in disbelief. Even Fang Yan was currently looking at Lin Tian with some doubt.


    How could this kid possess such terrifying physical strength?


    "Chi ¡­" I... F * ck! "Jiang Dali breathed heavily at this moment, and then continued," I knew it would end like this! "It really took me one move!"


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and then walked off the stage.


    At this time, Fang Yan''s voice also sounded out, "Lin Tiansheng from the Western Spiritual Region, one point!"


    Following that, the battle continued. Lin Tian continued to watch the battle in front of the audience.


    The battle was very quick. Not long later, it was once again Lin Tian''s turn. This time, Lin Tian''s opponent was unexpectedly ¡ª the Berserker Tribe''s Wu Shan!


    When Lin Tian saw Dark Mountain, he almost thought that it wasn''t done on purpose by Fang Yan.


    Why was it Jiang Dali just now, and why was it Dark Mountain now? Both of them were training their physical bodies.


    But the result should be the same.


    Previously in the Holy Ruins, Lin Tian had seen the battle between Wu Shan and Jiang Dali. Although both sides were clearly not using their full strength, from their moves, it was not difficult to determine the strength of the two.


    Actually, the difference in strength between the two wasn''t that great.


    Therefore, if he could destroy Jiang Dali with one move, then he could destroy Dark Mountain with one move.


    Lin Tian was extremely confident in his physical body''s strength.


    Wu Shan walked onto the stage and said to Lin Tian, "I have to admit that your physical body is very strong, but so what? I will use my actions to show you that I can still defeat you!"


    "Is the barbarian race as good as you think?" Lin Tian unhappily glanced at Dark Mountain: "At the beginning I wanted to give you a chance, but now you have lost this chance because I hate other people''s nonsense the most!"


    Lin Tian did not hesitate. This time, he once again used all the strength in his body and in the next moment, he fiercely smashed towards Dark Mountain.


    Dark Mountain''s expression changed drastically, but it was too late to realize that something was wrong.


    Lin Tian had already rushed in front of him. In the next moment, Dark Mountain''s enormous body collided with Lin Tian''s.


    In the next moment, Lin Tian stood where he was without moving. However, just like Jiang Dali just now, Dark Mountain drew a perfect arc in the air and then heavily smashed into the wall.


    As a result, something interesting happened. Beside Jiang Dali''s calligraphy from before, the character "Big" appeared once again.


    In the next moment, Dark Mountain''s body also fell down from the wall.


    "How, how ¡­" "It''s possible ¡­" At this moment, Wushan had difficulty uttering these words. Honestly speaking, he truly did not dare believe that Lin Tian had so easily defeated him!


    Lin Tian had only trained his body, but the barbarians were born with invincible bodies.


    But why, why couldn''t he even block one of Lin Tian''s attacks?


    Everyone else had already become somewhat numb. Even Fang Yan clicked his tongue. This Lin Tian''s performance was truly beyond his expectations.


    However, at this moment, a burst of inharmonious laughter came from the crowd. "Ha ha, ha, ha, I knew that this guy would kill everyone in one move, and that barbarian animal would be killed in a second. I am in a much better mood now, ha, ha."


    The voice belonged to no one else but Jiang Dali. There was a feud between the Great Strength God''s Gate and the barbarian race. Wu Shan had brought the barbarian along to prove the strength of their body. This was the reason why they were the strongest in True Martial World.


    But no one would have thought that the result would be something they did not prove. On the contrary, they had all become Lin Tian''s background and after the battle, everyone would remember Lin Tian''s name. Also, the strength of Lin Tian''s body, would become a nightmare for all of them, a nightmare that no one could get rid of!


    At this moment, Jiang Li was not afraid of being burned to death. He felt that he had been killed in one move and Dark Mountain should have also been killed in one move. As such, he was naturally extremely happy.


    "..." The audience was silent. Some sighed, some were surprised, but most of them were serious. They were worried about Lin Tian''s strength, and they were also worried about the possibility of meeting him in the future.

 C520 Summoning of the pavilion master!

    But no matter what, the battle had to continue.


    Their thoughts did not affect Lin Tian in the slightest.


    The following battle was even more intense and the gap between these leaders was gradually beginning to reveal themselves.


    Lin Tian had already fought seven consecutive battles, but without a doubt, in these seven battles, Lin Tian had won seven matches, and in the battle, no matter what opponent Lin Tian encountered, the final result would be a one hit defeat.


    Even if Lin Tian met his most troublesome opponent, it would also be Fang Yu from the Inch Sect.


    Fang Buyao''s strength should be ranked second amongst the top disciples of the nine sects.


    In other words, his strength was only inferior to Hu Bugui''s. However, Hu Bugui was now dead, so naturally, among the disciples of the nine sects, the strongest would be him, Fang Bugui.


    But even so, Fang Buyao was still killed in one move by Lin Tian.


    Afterwards, all the people present gave Lin Tian a nickname, called "Lin Yi"!


    The meaning was that in Lin Tian''s hands, no one could walk past one move.


    But right now, Fang Yan''s face was a bit serious. Before this, he only felt that Lin Tian''s strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person. But that was all. Before this, he had secretly checked on Lin Tian''s talent. Lin Tian''s talent was mediocre so it wasn''t too shocking. Also, he wasn''t some sort of Sky Spirit Body.


    However, Lin Tian''s qi and blood was extremely vigorous and it made up for part of his lack of talent.


    But later on, as Lin Tian continued to fight, Fang Yan discovered another problem.


    Originally, Fang Yan had thought that Lin Tian would use his physical body''s strength to move one move, eat everything in the sky, and continuously use his powerful physical body''s strength to fight against other people.


    But the reality was different. Lin Tian was actually a soldier.


    His weapon was the dragon scale spear. Moreover, the moves displayed by the dragon scale spear were all extremely extraordinary. Moreover, Fang Yan could clearly feel that Lin Tian seemed to have even comprehended a trace of the Concept''s power.


    In addition, what shocked Fang Yan the most was that Lin Tian was actually a Symbol Master!


    This was truly terrifying.


    This practically proved that although Lin Tian''s learning was complicated, he was still proficient and proficient in them.


    This Lin Tian did not have any weaknesses.


    On the contrary, whether it was the strength of a Symbol Master or a soldier, to Lin Tian, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. This level of strength could completely help Lin Tian gain an advantage in battle and could even help him win.


    Lin Tian''s endless methods had also shocked everyone else.


    None of them knew when Lin Tian had appeared. Before this, they had never heard of someone like Lin Tian in the Western Spirit Region.


    How could they have known that from the very beginning, Lin Tian was just a piece of trash with crippled meridians. He had only walked for a short three years.


    From joining the Virtuous Heaven Sect to participating in the Six Sects'' Debate and even coming to this year''s True Martial Grand Ceremony, he had only used half a year''s time.


    How could they possibly understand Lin Tian?


    However, experts were always respected by others. Lin Tian''s imposing manner had completely conquered them. Each and every one of them had quite a bit of respect for Lin Tian.


    In the end, no one went to fight with Lin Tian.


    Upon seeing that his opponent was Lin Tian, without the slightest hesitation, he chose to admit defeat.


    Half a day passed, and the first round of the semifinals had finally come to an end.


    Lin Tian won ten matches and became the champion, becoming the champion of the battle.


    Lin Tian knew that from now on, his name would definitely spread throughout Zhen Wu Jie.


    After a simple explanation of the results, Fang Yan summoned all of these people together.


    He went to look for the disciples of the True Martial Pavilion to have a duel with each other.


    And this time, all of these leaders were accepted by the True Martial Pavilion and became disciples of the True Martial Pavilion.


    At the same time, Fang Yan brought Lin Tian to another place.


    "The Pavilion Master wants to see you!" On the way, Fang Yan finally said who the person who wanted to see Lin Tian was.


    Honestly speaking, when Lin Tian heard this, he was also frightened. He never would have thought that the strongest expert in the True Martial World, the person in charge of True Martial Pavilion, the high and mighty Pavilion Master, would choose to personally invite him.


    "When the Pavilion Master asks any questions, you can answer them truthfully. Do you know that the Pavilion Master has the ability to understand the hearts of men!?" Fang Yan was constantly giving advice along the way. Nothing was more important than this. When meeting with the Pavilion Master, he should pay attention to this matter.


    But only this sentence attracted Lin Tian''s attention.


    "Knowing the hearts of men?" Lin Tian''s tone was filled with doubt. Could he be saying that he could see through the heart and know what the heart was thinking?


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s heart slightly moved and he began to use his spiritual will to communicate with the Celestial Mouse on his right hand.


    It''s not a big deal ¡­" Due to the difference in the power of the laws, if the Pavilion Master cultivates the path of the soul and uses the power of the soul to comprehend the laws, then he can naturally see through the heart of the people.


    The Celestial Mouse gave his own explanation.


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded his head and suppressed the nervousness in his heart. After taking a few deep breaths, he entered the legendary pavilion master''s room.


    "Lin Tian." Just as he entered the room, Lin Tian heard a voice that sounded like it came from Huang Zhong.


    In the next moment, countless gigantic figures began to rapidly spin in front of Lin Tian, Luo Chen, Jiang Ru Xue, Uncle Yu, Luo Lie, Xiao Yun Hai, Gu Qing Yuan, Luo Tianyi, Ling Wuji, Hua Qiansong, Yun Huang, Hua Ruyi, Du Feng and Gu Yan''er. All of these people appeared in front of Lin Tian in an instant.


    Among these people were their loved ones, wives, enemies, masters, benefactors, and enemies.


    But now, all of them had appeared.


    In the next moment, they all suddenly opened their mouths and shouted, "Lin Tian!"


    Some yelled with hatred and venom, some shouted with benevolence, and some spoke coquettishly to Lin Tian.


    In short, everyone was shouting Lin Tian''s name.


    In that instant, Lin Tian immediately felt dizzy and his brain swelled. He couldn''t recover his senses for a long time.


    But at this time, Lin Tian''s mind was still clear. However, his consciousness was beginning to get a bit dizzy.


    "What a powerful illusion technique!" Lin Tian''s heart was filled with shock. Currently, he wanted to rely on his own mental strength to resist this level of illusion technique. However, using an egg to hit a rock was completely useless.


    But just as Lin Tian was about to immerse himself within it, the Ancient Dragon Tally inside his Divine Palace instantly emitted light and completely suppressed all sound. Lin Tian''s brain immediately became clear and his eyes also started to recover.

 C521 The way of saints

    "Seven and a half minutes, great!" At this moment, a transparent figure suddenly appeared in midair.


    That person was a white-haired old man. However, there was an unspeakable benevolence between his brows.


    At this moment, he was looking at Lin Tian with a smile. His eyes were full of appreciation.


    "You are, Pavilion Master?" This was not because of anything else, but because the person in front of him, accurately speaking, was not an actual person.


    It was a soul!


    That''s right, a soul.


    Thus, Lin Tian was a bit suspicious. Could it be that this Pavilion Master was a soul form?


    This was somewhat strange.


    But he also understood that that level of power was an illusion technique. It was this soul that had come to test Lin Tian.


    The spirit body seemed to have seen Lin Tian''s doubt and lightly smiled as it explained: "This is my avatar of the soul and not my main body. My main body is currently in front of the abyss to block some terrifying power."


    "Hmm?" Lin Tian was startled, but then he immediately thought of many things from the spirit body''s words.


    "Such a terrifying thing, could it be a demon?" Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of that demon.


    Before, Horned Demon had also told him that the demons never stopped thinking about invading the Sky Dragon Continent, but on the Sky Dragon Continent, there was a unique power suppressing them, preventing them from coming.


    Even the demon that was previously in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land had torn open a spatial rift and snuck in.


    But even so, the arrival of the demon could only result in him falling into a deep slumber. Only then could he barely maintain his original strength, and was completely unable to do anything else.


    Because if he used too much power, it would mean that he would be punished by the laws of the Sky Dragon Continent, and killed instantly.


    However, this did not mean that the demon race would continue to wait. They had been doing everything they could to invade the Sky Dragon Continent for a long time.


    After all, this place had the purest source of energy.


    This was the greatest temptation for the demons, and especially for that devil ancestor.


    The soul form earlier had mentioned that the Abyss sounds like a place where the demons had invaded, and it was normal for them to resist this kind of power.


    Perhaps ordinary people did not know about the existence of the devil race, but those important figures more or less knew about it.


    Ordinary martial cultivators only knew how to continuously cultivate, achieve higher achievements, and possess greater strength and a longer lifespan.


    They wouldn''t know anything else.


    However, these powerful experts of the Sky Dragon Continent would definitely know about this matter. After all, this was related to the survival of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    The spirit body did not think that Lin Tian would think this much just because of a single sentence he said, and more or less, it had guessed correctly.


    He did not pursue this topic, but said something else instead.


    "You probably don''t know the purpose of my summons." The spirit body softly said.


    "Indeed." Lin Tian replied honestly.


    He did not ask what exactly that abyss hole was.


    After all, these matters were still too far away from him.


    If he were to ask now, it would instead attract the attention of this spirit body.


    "The truth is, the main reason I came to find you was because of your strength. Fang Yan has already told me all of your performance during the True Martial Grand Ceremony." The spirit continued, "I didn''t expect you to be a Symbol Master."


    Earlier, that was my Thousand Illusion World, my own power of laws that condensed this illusion. I had used this illusion to test many disciples, but most of them required half a day to break through it. Some of them are monstrous geniuses, but others need at least two hours.


    Lin Tianxin said, "So it''s like that."


    However, he still said humbly, "I have a naturally sharp sense of the power of illusions. Normally, I would not be affected by them."


    "Hmm, not bad. Don''t tell me that with your strength, you are able to act neither humble nor arrogant? You are already far beyond ordinary people."


    The spirit gave a faint smile before asking, "I wonder if you know the path of that Saint?"


    "The path of saints?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised, then he shook his head and said: "Reporting to the Pavilion Master, this little brat knows nothing about this ¡­"


    "It''s normal for me not to know." That spirit body had a look of relief and didn''t have the slightest intention of criticizing him: "Originally, this spot was given to that Hu Bugui, but I heard that you killed him?"


    "Yes." Lin Tian lightly nodded his head, then decisively replied: "This person needs to be killed!"


    "The temperament of a youngster." The spirit smiled and said, "Let me tell you about the path of saints."


    Lin Tian nodded and bowed to listen.


    The so-called path of a Saint is actually a unique mystic realm. Above the Sky Dragon Continent, there are the Five Great Realms, True Martial, Earth Martial, Heaven Martial, Nether, and Wilderness. It is said that the path of a Saint is a giant bridge that connects the Sky Dragon Continent and the outside world.


    "No one will be able to tell what''s so special about this road, but what I can tell you is that the disciples that are training on this road, no matter what happens afterwards, have all successfully stepped into the Saint realm!"


    "Hmm?" Hearing this, it was the first time that Lin Tian was a bit moved.


    He naturally knew what those words meant.


    One must know that the path of martial arts had always been difficult. In the current Sky Dragon Continent, there were no experts of the God Realm.


    A Saint realm expert was already the most powerful one, standing at the very peak.


    However, the Pavilion Master''s meaning was, after entering the path of a Saint, there was a one in a hundred chance of becoming a Saint!


    This was a bit scary.


    In truth, from the moment he stepped into the Emperor Realm, there had already been a threshold.


    Previously, as long as he had sufficient cultivation resources, he would be able to reach the Manifestation stage quickly.


    For example, Lin Tian had used almost three years to directly reach the Manifestation Realm.


    This was all the resources he had spent all over his life.


    However, it was not that easy to reach the Emperor Stage. To comprehend the power of a domain, one needed a combination of nature, talent, luck, resources, and many other factors in order to reach that level.


    As for sage realm cultivators, it was even more difficult.


    A Saint is hundreds of times more difficult to reach than an Emperor!


    However, the meaning of this soul form was that for an existence to be able to enter the path of a Saint, there was a 100% chance of reaching the Saint level in the future.


    This was a bit scary.


    "What, moved?" The spirit slightly smiled, but immediately poured a large basin of cold water on Lin Tian and said: "But on the path of a Saint, out of ten people, nine will die. Only one will be able to walk out alive ¡­."


    "What?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but exclaim.


    "Is it very strange?" The spirit smiled and said, "The path of saints, or the path of the strong. If you want to become strong, then you are destined to have countless geniuses who will accompany you in death. They will be your backers."


    "Understood." Lin Tian sighed.


    "This time, we were going to choose you from the Zhen Wu disciples, but I think that you have the best potential. First, we''ll have you as a placing on the road to become a Saint. Are you willing?" At this moment, the spirit body''s tone became serious.


    "Disciple is willing!" Lin Tian took a deep breath and firmly replied to the pavilion master.


    "Great!" That spirit body''s tightly creased brows finally relaxed. Then, he lightly pointed at Lin Tian''s forehead.


    This is some information about the path of the Saint, you can digest it yourself, this matter must be kept confidential. You only have half a year left, you must quickly increase your strength to the Emperor Stage, because only after reaching the Emperor Stage will you be able to enter the path of the Saint. Of course, you will also have some self-preservation ability, so you won''t become cannon fodder. " The soul warned before letting out a long sigh, "Brat, you have to work hard. A great disaster is about to befall the Sky Dragon Continent. It''s hard for us old fellows to do anything. We need you to grow up as soon as possible and help us."


    Hearing this, Lin Tian''s heart moved. He wanted to ask something, but in the end, his mouth opened and closed, not saying a single word.


    However, from the Pavilion Master''s words, it was sufficient to know that the Sky Dragon Continent would not be able to hold on for long. Sooner or later, the Demon race would invade.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tian Deng felt the burden on his body become heavier.


    However, the soul did not sense it from start to finish. It only gave a few more instructions before letting Lin Tian leave.


    After Lin Tian left, the spirit body slowly dissipated. Everything seemed as if it had never happened before.

 C522 Lets get married

    As he walked out from that space, Fang Yan''s figure was shockingly right in front of him.


    The previous space was a unique space and Fang Yan did not enter it. He naturally did not know what the Pavilion Master had said to this brat.


    As a result, when he saw Lin Tian walk out, Fang Yan went up to him and asked what Lin Tian''s pavilion master had told him.


    Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke about the path of saints.


    In fact, he knew a lot of things, including that the Pavilion Master was actually talking about the demons, but the Pavilion Master had only told him about the path of saints, proving that he didn''t want others to know about it. After all, letting too many people know about the demons would cause unnecessary panic.


    This was probably something that the pavilion master didn''t want to see, so Lin Tian didn''t say much and only talked about the path of saints.


    He nodded his head and sighed: "Actually, to you, the path of a Saint is neither good nor bad. You are currently relatively weak, and to step onto the path of a Saint, you need at least the cultivation of an Emperor, so you still need to work hard to cultivate."


    Lin Tian slightly nodded his head, indicating that he had remembered.


    "Then what are you going to do next?" Fang Yan couldn''t help but ask.


    "I will stay here for a period of time to familiarize myself. After a few days, I will travel the entire Zhen Wu Jie and begin to temper my own strength." Lin Tian had already made a plan in his heart.


    He had also roughly digested the information about the path of saints. Speaking of it, this path of saints was more or less a great opportunity for Lin Tian, right? The path of saints was actually the path of enlightenment of an ancient sage. If he could cultivate inside it, then it would be of great help to Lin Tian.


    However, before he left for the path of the saint, he still had to finish what he was doing and head back to Tian Luo Kingdom. He had already planned to marry Yun Huang and give him a proper explanation.


    In addition, he still had to find his parents and the High Priest. It would be best for him to get revenge for Yunhuang before he went to the Holy Land of Martialism and solve all of these problems.


    Thus, half a year was a bit too short.


    Lin Tian didn''t stay in the True Martial Pavilion much longer.


    Originally, there were ten people from the six great sects that came here, but now, other than Hua Ruyi, Lin Tian, and Li Wu Huan, the three of them had successfully become disciples of the True Martial Pavilion.


    Moreover, one of the genius disciples of the Star Sea Sacred Sect had been killed by that crazy Hu.


    Therefore, when they saw the five great sect leaders again, their faces all had different expressions, and they looked a bit unsightly.


    Only Ling Wuji was filled with excitement and joy.


    As expected, Lin Tian did not disappoint his expectations. Wait until he returns to the sect, perhaps he could directly pass the position of sect head to this brat.


    He could finally release himself and work hard to improve his cultivation.


    At the same time, the other disciples also began to return.


    This time, the True Martial Grand Ceremony had basically come to an end. The powerful masters, such as the chief disciples, had all been chosen by the True Martial Pavilion as disciples without exception.


    It was just that the chief had specifically found Lin Tian and told him a lot of things, but they were nothing more than words of friendship. They wanted Lin Tian to move around a bit more and interact more in the future.


    Lin Tian also knew that this was because of his strength. He had completely conquered everyone, but towards these people, Lin Tian''s impression was not bad. In the future, he could make friends with them.


    Of course, that Jiang Feng hadn''t come.


    Jiang Feng definitely knew Lin Tian''s identity, so it wasn''t surprising that he didn''t come.


    On the other hand, the Jiang Dali and Wu Shan who were previously slapped into the wall by Lin Tian and couldn''t even be dug out were now extremely close to Lin Tian and couldn''t stop asking him about Lin Tian''s body refining technique. Lin Tian obviously wouldn''t say anything about his body refining technique, so he just casually said a few words and dismissed everyone.


    These disciples were all disciples of True Martial Pavilion. In the future, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with them.


    So Lin Tian didn''t need to worry too much about it. Only a small portion of the disciples that participated in the True Martial Pavilion''s trial entered the True Martial Pavilion.


    Naturally, Li Wu Huan and Hua Rui were among them. On the other hand, Yun Huang did not receive the True Martial Pavilion''s acknowledgement.


    Yun Huang was still not very happy.


    Aside from Hua Qianlei and Ling Wuji who wanted to settle the affairs of their respective disciples, the other three great sect masters were the first to return to their respective sects.


    Lin Tian did not think too much. He promised that he would return to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect soon. After sending Ling Wuji away, he directly ran towards Yun Huang.


    At this time, Yun Huang looked at Lin Tian, then faintly smiled and said: "So, you still remember me?"


    "Err ¡­" Lin Tian scratched his head and then shamelessly moved in front of Yun Huang. Without saying anything, he pulled Yun Huang into his embrace and in the next moment, under Yun Huang''s shocked voice, Lin Tian gently lowered his head.


    "Ugh!" Yun Huang was startled, but in the next moment, she couldn''t help but want to push Lin Tian''s body away.


    But at this moment, she was completely drained of strength from Lin Tian''s overbearing kiss. She could only incessantly punch Lin Tian''s chest.


    Only a moment later did Lin Tian finally let go of Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang then violently gasped for breath as her face flushed red. She then scolded Lin Tian: "Scoundrel!"


    Lin Tian slightly smiled and then said: "I missed you. Moreover, you are now my wife. Between husband and wife, we should do something that an old man and wife should do. How can you be called a hooligan?"


    Hearing Lin Tian''s serious tone, Yun Huang was also somewhat speechless as she said: "A certain person''s skin is getting thicker and thicker!"


    With that, Yun Huang grabbed Lin Tian''s ears and said to Lin Tian Dao: "Alright, I do want to ask you this. In the time I wasn''t by your side, other than that flower lady, how many other girls did you offend?"


    "It''s here again ¡­" Lin Tian''s heart trembled. This woman was just that sensitive.


    But when he thought of this, Lin Tian began to carefully ponder. He muttered to himself: "Don''t be in such a hurry. Let me think about it a bit. I''ll do some calculations."


    "You''re still okay!" Yun Huang''s face became even more unsightly.


    "Didn''t you tell me to think it over?" Lin Tian''s face stiffened, but seeing Yun Huang''s increasingly ugly expression, Lin Tian immediately opened his mouth and laughed: "Alright, I won''t joke with you anymore. In my heart, there is only you."


    "Humph!" Yun Huang unhappily rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, but her face became much better: "Who would believe your lies!"


    "Yun Huang?" Lin Tian suddenly felt that it wasn''t real and then shouted towards Yun Huang.


    "Hmm?" Yun Huang sensed that something was wrong with Lin Tian''s tone, and lightly replied.


    "Yun Huang." Lin Tian shouted out once again.


    "I''m here." Yun Huang replied with a smile.


    "Yun Huang!" Lin Tian continued to shout.


    "Are you stupid?" Yun Huang was amused by Lin Tian''s silly look and stared at Lin Tian.


    "I love you!" Lin Tian spoke again.


    Yun Huang was stunned. Her body stiffened and she looked at Lin Tian in disbelief. She asked hesitantly: "What did you say?"


    "I say, Yun Huang, I love you!" In that moment, Lin Tian used up all of his energy and roared out with all his might.


    This voice instantly spread throughout the entire True Martial Pavilion, and in an instant, everyone''s eyes were focused on Lin Tian and Yun Huang. No one had ever shouted this out in the True Martial Pavilion, so when Lin Tian shouted out, everyone looked at the two of them with curiosity.


    Yun Huang felt somewhat uncomfortable being looked at by others, but when she looked at Lin Tian''s sincere face, tears uncontrollably welled out from her eyes.


    Lin Tian was still very calm, but his tone was full of unspeakable determination: "Yun Huang, I love you. Be my wife and we will get married, okay?"


    When Yun Huang heard this, she could no longer control her emotions. Her tears fell like rain and her body trembled uncontrollably. There were no more words that could express her feelings.


    The images of her and Lin Tian together appeared in her mind, and the pressure from within the Heavenly Phoenix Tribe caused Yun Huang to almost give up, she was also afraid that Lin Tian would not even be able to reach the Emperor Stage.


    But this time, when Yun Huang saw Lin Tian again, Yun Huang knew that Lin Tian truly loved her, because Lin Tian had truly reached the fifth level of the Creation stage, just a step away from the Emperor Realm. And this, was only less than three years away from the promise they had previously made, which meant that during these three years, Lin Tian had constantly worked hard to cultivate, attaining an even higher realm.


    Of course, all of this, Yun Huang knew, was because of her.


    She could imagine how much suffering Lin Tian had suffered in order to reach where he was today, but he had still done it. Moreover, all the promises he had made to Yun Huang had all been accomplished.


    Thus, when Lin Tian said these words, that Yun Huang could not bear it any longer.


    She felt that it was far too arduous for them to reach this step, but when all of this actually happened, Yun Huang suddenly felt as if she was in a dream.


    "Promise him!" At this time, those people who were watching from the sidelines all spoke to Yun Huang.


    "Yeah, agree to it!"


    Only then did Yun Huang come back to her senses, she did not say a single word, and only forcefully nodded.


    Lin Tian immediately came in front of Yun Huang, gently holding Yun Huang''s hand, and said solemnly: "I swear, no one can stop us from being together, moreover, from now on, we will never part ever again!"


    Lin Tian''s tone was very firm, but to Yun Huang, it was a force of ten thousand jin, causing her to feel incomparably at ease.


    At this time, Hua Rui''s heart was filled with unhappiness. While she was happy for Lin Tian and Yun Huang, she also felt an indescribable pain that spread throughout her heart ¡­

 C523 Crisis attacks

    At the same time, in the Saint Gate of the Western Spirit Realm.


    At this moment, the seven stars in front of the seven Great Saints had completely condensed into form.


    After the Seven Stars Grand Formation was formed, the black crystal between the seven of them also emitted light. In the next moment, the black crystal turned into a beating heart and fiercely drilled into the body of the Saint Gate''s Sovereign.


    The other six Holy Elders laughed out wildly, "Congratulations, Doyen. Our sect will definitely rise to a new level and become the number one sect in Zhen Wu Jie. It will even be able to compete with the top sects of the other four realms!"


    "Thank you for your help, six people!" Thank you, six people! The sect leader''s lips curled up into a smile as he solemnly said to the six Saint Elders.


    These words were quite terrifying. This Sect Master didn''t want to do anything else, but actually wanted these six Saint Elders to die!


    These words sounded extremely terrifying, but it just so happened that the sect leader''s tone was extremely serious.


    The six saints seemed to have long known of their fates, and bowed solemnly towards the Sect Leader. The next moment, an extremely terrifying event occurred, and the six Sect Leaders actually exploded on the spot.


    In that instant, their flesh and blood, along with their vital essence, turned into a rain of blood that was absorbed by the sect master.


    "Bang bang bang!" One body after another self-detonated. Not long after, the six Saint Elders died. They became food for the Holy Gate Sovereign and disappeared without a trace.


    No one had seen this strange scene.


    However, after absorbing the power of the six Holy Elders, the strength of the sect master had suddenly doubled.


    He then bit open his middle finger and lightly tapped it. Then, he said: "Trail of Myriad Miles Blood, follow up!"


    A terrifying drop of bright red blood immediately flew out from his middle finger. In the next moment, that drop of blood completely disappeared. It was likely going to track someone.


    Actually, the main target of this door was no one else but Lin Tian.


    The sect master''s name was Hu Xinglie, Hu Bugui''s father. However, after Hu Xinglie was born, he had abandoned him in that chaotic place where criminals, prisoners, killers, scoundrels, hooligans, and all sorts of other people were involved.


    Normally, no one would go to such a place. However, Hu Xinglie was sent to such a chaotic place when Hu Bugui was eight years old.


    And that was when Hu Bugui''s perverted character started.


    Later on, Hu Xinglie went to find Hu Bugui in that chaotic place and told him his true identity.


    Hu Bugui finally couldn''t take this kind of stimulation anymore and went completely crazy. He became absolutely crazy.


    The reason why Hu Xinglie did this was to force Hu Changzai to become a lunatic. Only then would he be able to practice the most terrifying and powerful martial arts of his sect.


    One must know that this "Heart of Darkness" was originally created for the sake of Hu Bugui. However, now Hu Bugui was dead.


    In this way, he could only absorb it.


    However, Hu Xinglie had spent a huge sum of money to nurture Hu Bugui, but had been killed by someone else.


    How could Hu Xinglie let that person go? He used a tracking technique that involved blood. As long as that person was alive, he would be able to find any trace of him, no matter where he went.


    At the same time, True Martial World, Demon Spirit Region.


    The territory of the Sky Phoenix Clan was located at the Wutong Mountain. This was also the source of the old saying, "If you plant a wutong tree, you will attract a phoenix."


    The Wutong Mountain and the Wutong Forest were the ancestral grounds of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.


    At this moment, a middle-aged man with a dark and cold face and a sinister look suddenly sneered: "That bitch Yun Huang, you have indeed been feigning insolence towards me all this time. That Grandma Jin has also done the same, joining forces with that bitch to deceive me, good, this time, just right, I will kill your beloved lover in front of you, I want to see, you bitch, how you will dare disobey me in the future!"


    This person was the High Priest of the Sky Phoenix Clan. He was in charge of offering sacrifices and was the one in charge of the clan''s power. He was also the one who was forcing Yun Huang to prepare to sacrifice his life for the Sky Phoenix Clan.


    This person''s original intention was actually quite simple, it was to find a husband with an incredibly pure bloodline for Yun Huang, and let the two of them combine to give birth to a powerful demon clan. The demon clan that was born would definitely be the most talented, the most terrifying demon clan in history, and was called the "Son of the Sky Demon" by the High Priest, if the son of the Sky Demon was born, he would become the king of the entire demon clan. Once this plan was completed, he would not only be the High Priest of the Sky Phoenix clan, but also the High Priest of the entire demon clan.


    Previously, Yun Huang did not care too much about the relationship between a man and a woman, so she did not refuse. But later on, because of Lin Tian''s appearance, Yun Huang completely let go of this matter, but the High Priest still wanted to firmly control Yun Huang, so Yun Huang was naturally unwilling to do so.


    Thus, the High Priest had long suspected Yun Huang.


    Yun Huang had Lin Tian''s flesh and blood, and it was Yun Huang who had been doing his best to hide it.


    There was no other reason. If it was made public, the High Priest would first investigate Lin Tian''s background and then kill him.


    Yun Huang did not dare take this risk and could only hide it for himself. Fortunately, Granny Jin had watched Yun Huang grow up and had a deep relationship with him, so she had always been helping him hide it.


    Furthermore, Lin Tian and Yun Huang''s bloodline were also extremely powerful, so that little thing could not be seen in Yun Huang''s body.


    But at this moment, the High Priest had long since understood everything. There was no other reason than Jiang Feng''s return with the news.


    At the same time, the descendants of the Nine Infants Demon Lord were the Heavenly Serpent Clan.


    Jiang Feng had long since returned. Not only did he bring the news that Yun Huang was pregnant to the Sky Phoenix Clan''s High Priest, he also brought back the news that Lin Tian was the person who killed Jiang Fan.


    Jiang Feng had personally witnessed Lin Tian''s strength. Of course, he knew that he was completely no match for Lin Tian, so he didn''t hesitate and directly chose to come back and tell his grandfather everything.


    At this moment, in front of the statue of the Nine Infant Demons.


    The old man in the lead had his back facing Jiang Feng and asked afterwards, "Feng''er, is everything you''ve said true?"


    "It''s absolutely true. I saw it all with my own eyes!" Jiang Feng answered without hesitation.


    He knew that he wasn''t Lin Tian''s opponent, but he definitely didn''t want to see Lin Tian grow just like that.


    That old man gently nodded his head at this moment and then said, "Interesting. Who would''ve thought that there would be so many talented people in the Jiang Shan family. If we don''t act now, I''m afraid no one will know about us!"


    "Grandfather, are you going to attack?" Jiang Feng couldn''t help but become excited when he heard the meaning behind the elder''s words.


    "Hmm, from what you''re saying, that kid''s strength is definitely very frightening, but even so, so what? If you dare to kill my grandson, I will just swallow my anger. In the future, no matter how they look at my Heavenly Serpent clan, I will just head over there with my old bones. Let''s see what kind of genius he is ¡­" The old man didn''t admit that he was going to do it himself, but it made Jiang Feng incredibly excited.

 C524 Borrowing a knife to kill someone

    The current Lin Tian clearly did not know that the danger that was coming for him had already arrived. On the contrary, he was still immersed in the happy time with Yun Huang.


    In reality, even if Lin TianAo knew, he wouldn''t care because those people would come looking for him sooner or later. No matter what, he could not guard against them.


    At this time, Lin Tian and Yun Feng had been living together in two different worlds. In fact, he felt somewhat guilty towards Yun Feng, and wanted to make up for it by taking advantage of the moment.


    But of course, Lin Tian had another goal, which was to find traces of his parents.


    At this time, the legend of Lin Tian spread throughout the Zhen Wu Jie.


    After all, he was the genius who had killed that crazy Hu; he was also the leader of this year''s Zhen Wu Ceremony.


    The matter of him winning first place quickly spread throughout the entire Zhen Wu Jie. Lin Tian wanted to use this opportunity to establish his reputation and wait for his parents to find him.


    It was a pity that in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, but his parents still had not come.


    Thus, Lin Tian had no choice but to personally search. Of course he brought Yun Huang with him.


    The two of them roamed the True Martial World. On the way, Lin Tian didn''t rest for a moment and also unceasingly trained himself, quickly raising his cultivation.


    Now that he knew about the existence of the path of saints, he would naturally work even harder, because after all, this matter was related to the demons. And the demons, without a doubt, were the main culprits that affected the survival of the entire Sky Dragon Continent.


    As the successor of the Ancestral Dragon, he was the only dragon to shoulder all of this.


    Of course, after all these days, Lin Tian and Yun Huang''s understanding of each other had deepened.


    When Yun Huang found out about Lin Tian''s background, he was somewhat sorrowful. At the same time, he swore in his heart that he would accompany Lin Tian to find his parents.


    At the same time, Lin Tian learnt about the High Priest''s actions from Yun Huang.


    But like this, Lin Tian was certain that he would sooner or later find the High Priest to seek justice for Yun Huang.


    Presumably, in the eyes of the High Priest, Yun Huang was just a tool, but this was exactly what Lin Tian couldn''t endure.


    Then let his blood wash away the humiliation he brought to Yun Huang in the past. Let him know that Lin Tian''s woman could not be provoked!


    Of course, this was on the premise that Lin Tian had enough strength to face the High Priest.


    But now it was not enough. Lin Tian''s strength, if he went, he would only be courting death. He would not bring any help to Yun Huang at all.


    Lin Tian pondered for a few days and finally decided to first bring Yun Huang back to the Western Spiritual Realm.


    This was because they had already decided on the marriage. This time, they would return to the Western Spiritual Realm and prepare for the wedding.


    This was a major event for both of them. They had to prepare as early as possible.


    Actually, more accurately speaking, it would be returning to Tian Luo Kingdom.


    Because there was Xiao Yunhai, now Xiao Yunhai could truly be considered Lin Tian''s only family.


    Therefore, when it came to matters of marriage, naturally there would be elders present.


    What''s more, Lin Tian had decided to give Yun Huang a magnificent wedding. He wanted to declare Yun Huang''s sovereignty to everyone on the Sky Dragon Continent, and he, Lin Tian!


    Therefore, rather than searching for your parents in the vast sea of people, returning to your hometown first to prepare for your marriage is the most important.


    Yun Huang naturally followed Lin Tian wherever he went, so without hesitation, the two headed towards the Western Spirit Region.


    However, just as Lin Tian and Yun Huang were about to arrive in the Western Spirit Region, Lin Tian''s heart felt that something wasn''t right. He seemed to have already predicted that something would happen and on the way back, he would very likely encounter some obstacles.


    This was one of Lin Tian''s abilities because as his mental strength became stronger, he more or less had the ability to foresee disaster. As for what it was, he couldn''t guess. But even so, it was enough to remind them to be careful in everything they did.


    At the same time, at the border between the Heaven Spiritual Region and the Western Spiritual Region, there was a place that they had to pass by to return to the Western Spiritual Region.


    At this moment, there was a grandfather-grandson pair standing guard here, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.


    These two people were not strangers. They were Jiang Feng of the Sky Serpent Clan and his grandfather, Jiang Tianquan.


    "Grandfather, will that kid come back?" When Jiang Tiankun chose to ambush them here, Jiang Feng was still a bit hesitant.


    After all, Lin Tian''s current reputation was like the sun in the sky. He should be staying in the True Martial Pavilion.


    Moreover, if they stayed in True Martial Pavilion, they would no longer have a chance to deal with Lin Under Heaven.


    After all, inside the True Martial Pavilion, there were many experts. Moreover, Lin Tian was deeply favored by that Elder called Fang Yan.


    "Feng''er, aren''t you a bit worried? Let me ask you, do you really want that brat to die that badly?" Jiang Tianqun frowned slightly. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.


    Jiang Feng was slightly startled and didn''t know what he had done wrong, but he still respectfully asked, "Grandpa, please guide me ¡­"


    "Right now, you have been blinded by that hatred. In order to deal with that boy, you must naturally be prepared in advance, know yourself and your opponent, and be able to win a hundred battles. Yet, you still want to rely on your own brute force to defeat your opponent."


    Jiang Tianqun reprimanded him: "Remember, killing people does not necessarily require you to do it yourself. You only need to do one thing, and that is not to care about the process. As long as you achieve your goal, you will succeed. Do you understand what I mean?"


    "Feng''er is stupid." Jiang Feng was confused by these words, and then he spoke in embarrassment.


    "Let me ask you, what is the purpose of our trip?" At this moment, Jiang Tianqun had restrained his temper and began educating his grandson.


    "Kill that Lin Tian." Jiang Feng answered without hesitation.


    "If it was you, what method would you choose?" Jiang Tianqun asked slowly.


    "Grandfather''s strength is peerless. One of his hands is enough to kill that kid." Jiang Feng replied.


    "Pig brain!" Jiang Tianqun cursed in frustration.


    "I can kill that kid in one move. After that, everyone knows that it was me who killed him. Let alone Zhen Wu Pavilion, then would the Lingxiao Saint Sect come and cause trouble for us, the Heavenly Snake Tribe?" Jiang Tianqun continued cursing at Jiang Feng, "Later on, do you think you can still enter True Martial Pavilion? Will Fang Yan kill you?"


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss." However, now that he thought about it, this was indeed the case. If Jiang Tianquan were to make a move, it would not be difficult for others to find out that they were the culprits; Lin Tian was one of the six great Saint Sects of the Western Spiritual Realm, a disciple of the Virtuous Heaven Saint Sect. He was also said to be a Saint.


    And he, Jiang Feng, was already a disciple of the True Martial Pavilion. But if he knew that Jiang Feng''s grandfather had killed Lin Tian, how could the True Martial Pavilion still accept him?


    "Then grandpa, what do you mean?" Jiang Feng couldn''t help but ask.


    "Doing it yourself is not the way of the king. The truly brilliant plan is to borrow a knife to kill!" Jiang Tianqun answered without hesitation.

 C525 A catastrophe was imminent!

    "Using a knife to kill someone?" Jiang Feng was slightly startled and didn''t seem to understand what Jiang Tianqun meant.


    "That''s right, to borrow a knife to kill!" Jiang Tianqun smiled slightly, then explained to Jiang Feng: "You''ve said it before, that brat is going to be with Yun Feng, but what status does that Yun Huang have? She has the bloodline of the Ancestral Phoenix, and originally, Sky Phoenix Clan''s High Priest is holding the selection competition because of Yun Huang''s Ancestral Phoenix bloodline, in other words, Yun Feng''s Ancestral Phoenix bloodline is not just hers, it is not only theirs. In fact, it''s the entire demon clan''s."


    "Yun Huang is extremely important to the future of the Spirit Demon Race. The High Priest of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was originally a greedy person, he wanted to rely on the power of Yun Huang''s bloodline to become the High Priest of the entire Demon Clan. So, do you think that the High Priest will not help? Was he going to let Yun Huang be taken away by a human? Furthermore, I heard that the brat had already secretly arranged a marriage with Yun Huang. "


    "Therefore, I can now answer that question of yours. That boy will definitely pass by here, because they will be returning to the Western Spirit Region to arrange their marriage." Jiang Tianqun seemed to have everything under control. "But, do you think that the High Priest will allow Yun Huang to marry him when he returns to the Western Spiritual Realm ¡­"


    Jiang Tianquin immediately stopped speaking when his words reached this point, but Jiang Feng had already understood.


    "So that''s how it is!" Jiang Feng was now in complete admiration of this grandfather of his.


    This method of using a borrowed knife to kill someone was truly ingenious.


    Moreover, if the Sky Phoenix Clan''s High Priest took action, then all of this could be placed on the body of the Sky Phoenix Clan''s High Priest, and had nothing to do with their Sky Serpent Clan!


    Jiang Tiankun smiled and said, "This is just the first plan to borrow a person''s life."


    "Could there be another one?" Jiang Feng was even more surprised, he hadn''t thought that there was another way to borrow a knife to kill someone.


    "Feng''er ah, looks like you still have a lot to learn after this. If you perform like this, how can grandpa be at ease and hand over the Sky Serpent Clan''s future to you?" Jiang Tianqun sighed slightly, quite dissatisfied with Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng nodded lightly and said respectfully to Jiang Tianqun, "Feng''er is slow and foolish, I''ve troubled grandpa!"


    "Forget it." Jiang Tiankun waved his hand and then explained to Jiang Feng, "Actually, you should be able to think of the second method, which is to borrow a saber to kill someone. That Madman Hu is already dead!"


    "Crazy Hu?" Jiang Feng was even more stunned. He couldn''t imagine it at all. How did that crazy Hu man get in contact with Lin Tian?


    Lin Tian had killed that crazy Hu, not bad, but what did it matter.


    "The father of crazy Hu is actually the current head of the Sacred Gate!" At this time, Jiang Tianquan suddenly said in an earth-shattering manner.


    "What?" Jiang Feng''s face was full of disbelief. He never would''ve thought that the father of that crazy Hu would be the son of the Saint Gate Sovereign!


    "This is a secret. It''s not surprising that you don''t know about it." Jiang Tianqun smiled, "But this matter is no secret to us old things ¡­"


    "To be honest, I also find Hu Xinglie''s actions somewhat unbelievable. He actually dared to send his own son to such a chaotic place. I really don''t know what kind of crazy things happened to him!"


    "However, from Hu Bugui''s later performance, we can see that the old thing has most likely raised this Hu Bugui as his successor." Jiang Tiankun sighed and continued to analyze the situation, "Otherwise, do you think that the Chou family wouldn''t come knocking on your door because of what Hu Bugui did? In fact, Hu Xinglie was the only one who kept this matter under wraps."


    Hu Bugui had done countless heinous things and even killed an elder of True Martial Pavilion. However, in the end, he was still forcefully suppressed by Hu Xinglie.


    "But this time, that kid actually dared to kill Hu Wugui. That''s the same as destroying Hu Xinglie''s life''s work. If that Hu Xinglie really did let that kid go, that would be weird!" Jiang Tianqun actually knew all these secrets like the back of his hand. This made Jiang Feng even more astonished.


    It seemed that his grandfather never left home, but he was able to see through the situation of the outside world so thoroughly. This was what Jiang Feng truly admired.


    But at the same time, Lin Tian and Yun Huang hurried over from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. This time, they didn''t have a special guide, nor a flying boat. They could only rely on manpower to walk, so their speed was extremely slow.


    It wasn''t until three days later that Lin Tian and Yun Huang appeared at the intersection between the Western Spiritual Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm.


    At this moment, Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianquan had been waiting here for a long, long time.


    "Grandfather, they''re here!" Jiang Feng suddenly spoke up.


    "Un, just quietly wait. A good show is about to begin ¡­" The corner of Jiang Tianquan''s mouth curled into a smile.


    With his strength, he could already sense that there were people here before them.


    However, he did not point it out. Moreover, he brought with him the clan''s treasure, so it completely covered up their auras. Even those who came earlier than them would not be able to sense their auras.


    Moreover, on the second day after that, he noticed that there was another terrifying aura here.


    However, this aura was extremely familiar to Jiang Tiankun. This aura was that of the High Priest from the Sky Phoenix Clan, the person he was familiar with.


    He already knew that the High Priest would never tolerate Yun Huang marrying a human.


    After all, he had told Jiang Feng to bring this information to the High Priest.


    "Lin Tian." At this time, Yun Feng, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly grabbed Lin Tian''s hand.


    "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian''s heart slightly moved. He then turned around to look at Yun Huang. He already felt that when Yun Huang grabbed his hand, she was slightly trembling.


    "He, he''s here!" At this moment, Yun Huang''s heart was filled with fear. She absolutely did not expect that the High Priest would arrive here so quickly. This also proved that Granny Jin had already been viciously murdered!


    "Seniors, since you''re here, why not come out and have a chat?" Lin Tian nodded at Yun Huang and clenched Yun Huang''s hands tightly. Then, he called out to the empty space around him.


    "Seniors, kid, you must have sensed wrongly! I''m the only one here!" At this time, the air suddenly began to vibrate. Then, a figure began to gradually appear in the air.


    This person was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a black robe and a mask, making it difficult for people to see his appearance. However, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could pierce through a person''s heart.


    "Yun Huang, why are you so disobedient?" As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, he whispered to Yun Huang with a sigh. This was no one else but the High Priest of the Sky Phoenix Clan!


    Upon hearing the High Priest''s voice, Yun Huang''s body stiffened.


    Lin Tian lightly protected Yun Feng behind him. He did not look at the High Priest, but continued to shout towards the surrounding air: "The other two seniors, please come out as well."


    However, after a long while, no one came out.


    "Brat, I told you, I''m alone, but you wouldn''t believe me!" The High Priest said to Lin Tian with a cold smile.


    "Senior, if my guess is correct, then he should be Hu Bugui''s father, the Sect Leader of Hu Xinglie." Lin Tian continued to speak.


    "As for the other senior, although you brought a magic treasure that can cover your presence, unfortunately, I can still feel the presence from Jiang Feng''s body. If I''m not wrong, he''s the senior of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, Jiang Feng, since you''re here, come out!"


    Lin Tian continued to speak this time, but the Dragon Scale Spear was suddenly swung out. With a thrust of the spear, all the surrounding air was shattered into pieces, and the sound of air exploding continuously rang out. Not long after, the other three figures were forced out by Lin Tiansheng.


    This time, with the appearance of three figures, it proved that Lin Tian was right. There really were three people here!

 C526 Who dares to touch my son!

    Moreover, the identities of those three people were exactly the same as what Lin Tian had said. One of them was the sect master of one of the nine sects, the Saint Sect from the Spirit Realm, Hu Xinglie.


    Actually, Hu Xinglie was the same as Hu Bugui. As expected of a father and son, because both of them were lunatics.


    The sect originally had tens of thousands of disciples, but after Hu Bugui came to the sect, he started killing people for no reason and even started killing disciples of his own sect.


    As a result, all of the disciples within the sect were panic-stricken, fleeing from death, and dying.


    Later on, in order to help Hu Bugui condense the Heart of Darkness, Hu Xinglie killed almost all of the Saint Rulers in the holy sect. Although Hu Bugui had already died, the Heart of Darkness was a complete success.


    Of course, this Heart of Darkness was naturally obtained by Hu Xinglie.


    Not long ago, Hu Xinglie had used the Blood Tracing Technique to track down the murderer of Hu Bugui, who was also Lin Tian.


    That was why he laid in ambush here. He also guessed that Lin Tian must have returned from the Spirit Realm, so he stopped Lin Tian here.


    The other was naturally the grandfather and grandson Jiang Tianquan, who wanted to borrow a knife to kill.


    When the figure of Jiang Tianquan''s grandfather appeared, the High Priest''s expression immediately changed.


    "Good move, Chief Jiang!" The High Priest spoke in a hoarse voice. How could he not know what Jiang Tiankun was planning?


    But in that case, wouldn''t he be using him as a spear?!


    "High Priest, this is not what you think." Jiang Tianqun immediately waved his hand and explained.


    Previously, he wanted to rely on borrowing a knife to kill others, but now that Lin Tian had seen through it, he could only deny it. Otherwise, he would have fallen into this brat''s trap.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Tianqun felt that this Lin Tian should not be underestimated.


    It was just that Jiang Tianqun couldn''t figure it out. He had clearly brought his clan''s treasure and completely hid his aura, but how could Lin Tian have sensed it?


    Did that kid have some sort of special ability?


    This was actually because Lin Tian''s mental strength was strong enough, allowing him to sense something that normal people could not sense.


    "Hehe, the three seniors really think highly of me. I was actually alerted by the three seniors to come out and kill me. I really don''t know what virtue or ability this brat has!" Lin Tian faintly smiled. Facing the pursuit and killing of the three peak experts, Lin Tian unexpectedly didn''t have the slightest trace of panic or fear. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with confidence.


    Yun Feng who was at the side firmly held onto Lin Tian''s hand, as if only Lin Tian could give her a sense of security.


    "You are not simple!" Jiang Tianqun smiled faintly: "Killing Hu Bugui, kidnapping my demon clan''s Holy Maiden, and even killing my grandson Jiang Fan, any of these, if it were any ordinary person facing the pursuit of our three great characters, they would have long been scared out of their wits. You have such an outstanding performance!"


    Actually, Jiang Tiankun''s impression of Lin Tian was quite good. At the very least, he felt that this Lin Tian in front of him was much better than his disappointing grandson.


    Jiang Tiankun was worthy of his attention, not to mention anything else.


    However, it was a pity that the more monstrous this boy''s performance was, the more Jiang Tianqun feared him. He was not of my race and could not be of any use to me. It was better to remove him as soon as possible.


    Moreover, the Sky Serpent Clan and Lin Tian had already formed an enmity, and this enmity couldn''t be resolved. Thus, this matter must be resolved today.


    "Kid, I really admire you, but unfortunately, you are too ostentatious and do not understand the situation. You actually offended three great masters in a row. This time, you won''t be able to escape even if you have wings!" He then turned around and asked the two people not far from him: "You two, this boy has enmity with the three of us, so who should be the first to make a move?"


    Jiang Tianqun still didn''t want to make a move. From his point of view, no matter what Lin Tian did, he had even more hatred for the High Priest and Hu Xinglie.


    Hu Xinglie''s only son had been killed by Lin Tian, and the holy maiden of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had been taken away by Lin Tian.


    This enmity was absolutely irreconcilable.


    So, it seemed like these two people were the first to attack Lin Tian.


    With this thought in mind, Hu Xinglie attacked first, "Brat, you have destroyed all the blood and sweat in my life. Today, I will definitely kill you!"


    Hu Bugui carried the hope of his sect, and it was unknown how much effort and effort he put in order to cultivate Hu Bugui.


    However, all of his efforts had been in vain. How could that Hu Xinglie not go berserk?


    When the other two saw that Hu Xinglie had made the first move, they were quite happy to see it happen. At this moment, they were all smiling as they watched how Lin Tian was going to deal with him.


    Hu Xinglie''s strength was extremely terrifying. This kid was absolutely no match for Hu Xinglie.


    Perhaps with this palm, that brat would be killed with a single palm from Hu Xinglie.


    As a result, the High Priest had already made his preparations and was waiting for Lin Tian to be killed with a single palm from Hu Xinglie before taking Yun Huang away.


    But just as that palm was about to land in front of Lin Tian, Lin Tian''s figure suddenly explosively retreated. After that, he roared towards the air: "If you don''t come out, I''m going to die here!"


    These words were said so abruptly that the three of them were stunned.


    They didn''t know who Lin Tian was talking to, but other than them, was there anyone else?


    Of course the answer was yes, there were still people here.


    At the same time, a faint green figure concealed within the space once again released the force of the spatial ripple, and the figures of a man and a woman appeared.


    The man looked at Lin Tian with a complicated expression before speaking to Hu Xing Lie: "I''m here. I want to see who dares to touch my son!"


    That man was none other than Lin Tian''s father, Lin Feng.


    Of course, that girl was her mother, Lu Wushuang. When Lin Feng opened his mouth to speak, Lu Wushuang could not say a word no matter what.


    Currently, Lu Wushuang was looking at Lin Tian with a doting expression. Then, with a trembling voice, he shouted towards Lin Tian: "Tian''er ¡­"


    Lin Tian sighed. He had actually sensed that someone was following him.


    However, the person following him had abnormally high strength. Lin Tian was completely unable to determine, so all the way, Lin Tian was actually on guard. However, from start to finish, that person didn''t attack Lin Tian.


    He was much stronger than Lin Tian. Moreover, he relied on his own mental strength, yet he could not detect that person''s aura, moreover, he was following him along the way, but was not the enemy. Then, he could basically determine who was following Lin Tian.


    Only his parents!


    Previously, Lin Tian was still doubtful as the news of him becoming the chief of the Zhen Wu Jie ceremony had spread throughout the entire Zhen Wu Jie. If his parents were in the Zhen Wu Jie, how could they not come and find him?


    So from a comprehensive judgement, Lin Tian guessed that it was because Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang did not know how to face Lin Tian, so they had been following Lin Tian and did not dare to face him!


    But at this time, seeing his parents, Lin Tian''s mood was a bit chaotic.


    On the other hand, Yun Huang''s face was currently filled with disbelief as he looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman, and then he became a bit confused: "This, this is actually Lin Tian''s mother, isn''t that his own future ¡­ Grandma? "

 C527 Kill hu xinglie

    Yun Huang''s face immediately flushed red. She didn''t think that she would meet Lin Tian''s parents so quickly, but she wasn''t ready yet.


    What, what was he going to say?


    After mumbling for a moment, Yunhuang still lowered his head and said softly to Lu Wushuang: "Uncle ¡­" "Aunt ¡­"


    Yun Huang did not know how to address her, but as the future daughter-in-law, she would naturally greet Lu Wushuang first. After all, she was a junior.


    "Good boy." Lu Wushuang was actually a very kind person. At this moment, she walked in front of Yun Huang and gently held onto her hand: "We''ve watched all of you walk all the way here and it really isn''t easy. You and Tian''er are about to get married, how can you call me Auntie?"


    The current Lin Tian didn''t say a single word. He also didn''t know how to treat his parents, who had ruthlessly abandoned him since he was young.


    At this moment, Hu Xinglie and Lin Feng were in a standoff.


    Hu Xinglie''s expression was gloomy as he stared at Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, I never thought that this little bastard would be your son. Well then, let''s forget this old and new hatred!"


    From Hu Xinglie''s words, it seemed like he was an old friend of Lin Feng!


    Judging from their tone, these two had a grudge against each other.


    "Hu Xinglie, you''ve really mastered the Heart of Darkness. It looks like we won''t be able to keep you alive this time around!" Lin Feng coldly snorted. He had already sensed the terrifying aura coming from Hu Xinglie.


    That was none other than the power that came from the Heart of Darkness.


    Previously, Lin Feng had interacted with him before, so he naturally knew what kind of technique Hu Xinglie was practising. At that time, Lin Feng had already taught him a lesson once, but he never thought that Hu Xinglie would still want to practice such a cruel and wicked technique!


    At this moment, the High Priest and Jiang Tianqun, who were watching the proceedings from the side, were still in a daze.


    They did not know Lin Feng, but they could sense his strength.


    Eighth level sage realm!


    With such strength, he was truly a Saint standing at the very top of the Sky Dragon Continent.


    They never would have thought that there was actually such a strong expert backing Lin Tian up.


    No wonder this brat was calm in the face of such a crisis. He had a calm and composed appearance, and it turns out that Lin Feng was supporting him.


    As for the woman, her strength was also extremely frightening, at least at the sixth level of the sage realm.


    Whether it was Jiang Tiankun or the High Priest, both of them felt their hearts tremble. Right now, they only had one thought in their minds, and that was to run as far away as possible. This kind of expert was not someone they could mess with!


    However, just when they were about to take action, they suddenly discovered that the surrounding space seemed to be completely sealed off by some kind of force. Their strength was completely unable to break through the shackles.


    At this time, Lin Feng also opened his mouth as he laughed: "Anyone who wants to kill my son, please stay!"


    As he spoke, Lin Feng abruptly extended his hands, and in the next moment, those two large hands transformed into extremely terrifying golden claws.


    Dragon Claw!


    The huge golden dragon claw exuded a terrifying aura as it violently suppressed the two.


    Facing such a terrifying power, both the High Priest and Jiang Tianquan could only feel a terrifying and suffocating aura shooting towards them. Furthermore, in front of such a majestic power, both of them were powerless, unable to resist the power.


    AHH!" "Jiang Feng''s scream was the first to reach Lin Feng''s ears. His strength was the weakest, so naturally, he was not Lin Feng''s match.


    The moment that boundless bloody aura rushed towards Jiang Feng, his body exploded and he died on the spot.


    Jiang Tiankun''s eyes were bloodshot, but he didn''t have the time to think about it. This person''s strength, when compared to theirs, could be completely crushed.


    It was difficult for him to even defend himself. At this moment, he used all of his strength and surged with a terrifying power to resist the golden power of the dragon claw.


    At this moment, the situation that the High Priest was facing was not too different from Jiang Tianquan''s.


    However, with their strength, they were completely unable to withstand the dragon claw''s attack. In just an instant, the dragon claw had completely destroyed both the High Priest and Jiang Tiankun.


    In the next moment, it was completely suppressed.


    "Humph!" Lin Feng coldly snorted and withdrew his palm. At this moment, under the power of the Golden Dragon Claw, the High Priest and Jiang Tianqun had already been turned into a pile of meat paste.


    The two powerful Saint realm experts had been instantly killed by Lin Tian without any hesitation!


    At this time, Lin Tian and Yun Huang were also stunned and could not help but be speechless.


    Lin Ming knew that his father was strong, but he never thought that he would be strong to such a terrifying degree.


    This was a perfect steamroll, a steamroll without any reason!


    "Lin Feng, you''re actually this strong? Good, good, good, I was afraid that you''d be too weak to withstand the power of my Heart of Darkness, but this time, you don''t have to worry about it!" At this moment, Hu Xinglie, who had just witnessed everything, suddenly became excited.


    He had just condensed the Heart of Darkness, so he couldn''t wait to test the power of that Heart of Darkness.


    "Heart of Darkness, come out. Sky Demon Annihilation!" Hu Xinglie roared.


    At the same time, a surging black heart suddenly emerged from Hu Xinglie''s body.


    The instant Hu Xinglie exited his body, he had actually turned into a black coloured crystal. At this moment, a terrifying black baleful aura was frantically emitting from the black crystal and completely enveloped Lin Feng.


    Faced with such a terrifying attack, Lin Feng''s expression turned serious.


    But at this time, Lin Tian suddenly cried out in alarm: "It''s the Demon race!"


    This aura, this aura, was completely familiar to him. This aura, it was completely the aura of the devil race, Lin Tian had already fought against the devil race before, so he could instantly determine that this aura on Hu Xinglie''s body, was definitely the aura of the devil race!


    Lu Wushuang was slightly startled. Then, she looked at Lin Tian and could not help but ask: "You actually know about the demon race?"


    Of course, Lu Wushuang knew that Lin Feng possessed the Dragon Clan''s bloodline, and Lin Tian was even more of a chosen one. However, she thought that Lin Tian''s current strength was still too weak and wouldn''t know about the Demon race.


    But she didn''t expect that Lin Tian already knew of the demon race''s existence!


    "Let me do it!" Lin Tian didn''t waste any time on words and his body slightly moved. His body immediately turned into a blood-red dragon.


    To Lin Tian, demons were an excellent cultivation resource for him.


    The last time he had obtained the body of that devil, he had already consecutively crossed an entire realm.


    But this time, Hu Xinglie''s aura was stronger than the devil''s aura and power.


    So Lin Tian was naturally determined to win.


    Although his strength was not as good as Hu Xinglie''s, Lin Tian still had a lot of methods to deal with the demons.


    At this moment, a colossal dragon soul emerged from his body.


    The most powerful Dragon Soul was, of course, the Ancestral Dragon Soul created by the Ancient Dragon Symbol. Below it was the Dragon Soul of the Coiling Dragon of the Earth, the Dragon Soul of the Plague Dragon.


    And seeing Lin Tian''s current terrifying attack method, that Lin Feng was also stunned.


    This brat, has he actually grown to such a degree?


    However, he didn''t think too much about it. His body had also turned into a huge golden dragon. In an instant, the five huge dragons charged towards Hu Xinglie.


    Hu Xinglie was completely out of control as he trembled uncontrollably.


    However, without the slightest hesitation, the golden dragon transformed by Lin Feng, as well as the Ancestral Dragon soul, Coiling Dragon soul, and pestilence poisonous dragon soul instantly penetrated Hu Xinglie''s body.


    The blood-red dragon that Lin Tian had transformed into looked at the black crystal and opened its mouth to fiercely swallow it.


    In the next moment, that power entered Lin Tian''s body. Lin Tian''s originally blood-red body was immediately dyed black, but as the other three dragon souls returned to Lin Tian''s body, they completely suppressed that black energy.


    Lin Tian''s body turned back into a human body.


    As for Hu Xinglie, he was as good as dead.

 C528 Return

    After finishing off the tail, Lin Tian and Yun Huang continued on their way.


    However, at this time, Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang were also following them. This made Lin Tian and Yun Huang a little uncomfortable.


    After all, she was an outsider, but Lin Tian was extremely embarrassed.


    Previously, Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang were secretly protecting Lin Tian. Lin Tian did not know the identity of the other party, or it could be said that even if he did know, they were still hiding in the dark, so there was no need to say anything.


    But now it was right in front of him. Like this, even if Lin Tian wanted to pretend he couldn''t see it, it wouldn''t be possible.


    Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang felt somewhat guilty towards Lin Tian in their hearts. As they spoke, Lin Tian also faced them with indifference. Thus, they did not dare to say much.


    As for Lin Tian, he didn''t know how to face them.


    The previous Lin Tian might still have some resentment, but later on when Horned Demon told him everything, Lin Tian guessed that his father might have had no choice but to make things difficult for him, so he let Lin Tian grow up. After all, he was a heaven chosen person and had obtained the Dragon Transformation Token.


    But after all, he hadn''t had parents for more than ten years. Now that he suddenly had parents by Lin Tian''s side, Lin Tian also felt that it wasn''t quite right.


    Therefore, he did not know how to face this sudden appearance of his parents.


    Along the way, without saying a word, Yun Huang acted as the transfer agent.


    On the other hand, Lu Wushuang liked this future daughter-in-law very much.


    Especially after he found out that Yun Huang was pregnant, even Lin Feng''s stern face became amiable.


    As expected, a mother relies on her son. At this moment, Yun Huang deeply understood this sentence.


    Originally, Lin Tian and Yun Huang had planned to return to the West Spirit Realm before heading back to Tian Luo Kingdom.


    After all, Lin Tian''s only elder within the entire Tian Luo Country was his master Xiao Yunhai.


    But now that Lin Tian''s parents had returned, Yun Huang naturally had to obtain the recognition of the true father-in-law of his mother-in-law.


    Thus, Yun Huang found the direction.


    Lin Tian then chose to return to the Cloudsoaring sect.


    Lin Tian had originally wanted to return to this place as well, because Ling Wuji had instructed Lin Tian to settle other matters before returning to the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.


    Moreover, Ling Wuji was Lin Tian''s master.


    Although the relationship between Ling Wuji and Lin Tian wasn''t as close as that between Xiao Yunhai and Lin Tian.


    However, he still had to inform him about the matter of marriage.


    When he returned to the Virtuous Cloud Sect, Lin Tian was surprised to find out for the first time that Ji Fangge, Gu Yan''er, and Fang Xing had all left the sect.


    At this moment, everyone in the Holy Sect knew that Lin Tian had become the champion of the True Martial Grand Ceremony. Moreover, Lin Tian''s performance in the True Martial Grand Ceremony had been spread out among all the disciples.


    This time, no one dared to have any doubts about Lin Tian.


    After hearing that Lin Tian had finally returned, Ling Wuji also came out.


    On the second day, a large event was held throughout the entire Cloudsoaring sect.


    This time''s Great Assembly was rather simple. Ling Wuji had only announced one thing, and that was that Lord Sect Master had already passed away. According to the rules, Saint Lin Tian should be the next Sect Master.


    When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.


    They never would have thought that their Lord Sect Master had already passed on.


    Also, other than the Great Elder, no one else knew about this news. Even the various Peak Masters did not know about this matter. However, Lin Tian accepting the position of sect head was still questioned by the majority.


    Previously, Lin Tian''s performance in the Zhen Wu Grand Ceremony could at most be considered a qualified saint.


    In other words, these disciples recognized Lin Tian''s saint identity, but the sect head''s matter was too big. No one believed that a boy who was not even twenty years old could shoulder the sect head''s heavy responsibilities.


    A saint and a grand master were on completely different levels.


    Even the various Peak Masters had to remonstrate with each other, requesting the Great Elder to retract his orders. However, Ling Wuji did not give up, and had a long conversation with the Peak Masters. Unexpectedly, after that, the Peak Masters chose to remain silent, and no one objected anymore.


    The Peak Masters of the various peaks had always been the backbone of the disciples.


    But now that they had suddenly gone overboard, the doubts of the other disciples did not matter.


    Lin Tian originally did not really want to accept, but thinking about how the Lingxiao Sacred Sect was the first sect he had entered, no matter what, he wanted the sect to become better and better.


    So Lin Tian accepted it, but Lin Tian had his own conditions. It was that Lin Tian only had half a year, in this half year, if he found a suitable disciple, Lin Tian would immediately hand over the Soaring Cloud Saint Token. After all, in half a year, Lin Tian had to go to the path of saints.


    It''s a big deal.


    Lin Tian''s series of performances were seen by Lin Feng, so Lin Feng also put in a lot of effort.


    Lin Feng had seen that Ling Wuji had been stuck in this bottleneck for too long, so he decided to give it a try. Lin Feng had also helped Ling Wuji through this bottleneck since he was a Great Sage at the eighth level of the sage realm.


    After settling all the matters within the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, Lin Tian returned to the Tian Luo Country.


    Once again returning to Tian Luo Kingdom, Lin Tian was somewhat sorrowful.


    Lin Feng was the same.


    Their Lin Family was originally the number one clan in Tian Luo Kingdom, but after that, their relationship with the royal family was bad, and in the end, they could only decline.


    Lin Feng''s father, who was also Lin Tian''s grandfather, had re-established the Lin Family in Sky Dragon City. He wanted to restore the former glory of the Lin Family.


    However, it was a pity that Lin Feng had kidnapped Lu Wushuang, resulting in the downfall of the Lin Clan.


    But in Lin Tian''s grandfather''s heart, he had always been determined that the younger generation would definitely try to restore the Lin Clan.


    Previously, Lin Tian thought that if he could enter the Lingxiao Sacred Sect, he would put this matter on the agenda.


    Unfortunately, after he had entered the Virtuous Cloud Sect, Lin Tian had been forced to do so for a long time. The Six Sects'' duels and the True Martial Grand Ceremony had started one after another, and ever since he had joined the Sect, he had never returned.


    But now, the changes in Tian Luo Kingdom were huge.


    Tian Luo Kingdom had become one of the top ten Subordinate Countries under the jurisdiction of the Ling Tian Saint Sect. Tian Luo Kingdom had taken over many other kingdoms, and the Five Great Academies'' resources were flowing fast.


    Right now, everything in Tian Luo Country could be said to be on the rise.


    Knowing that Lin Tian was about to return, Luo Tianyi brought everyone from the royal family to welcome him.


    This time, without waiting for Lin Tian to speak, Luo Tian Yi brought the Tian Luo Imperial Family Jade Seal and gave it to Lin Tian.


    "I have already investigated thoroughly, so you are the descendant of the great marshal Lin Wudi back then." I have already investigated thoroughly, so you are the descendant of the great marshal Lin Wudi back then, your ancestor wanted to suppress the Lin Family. Luo Tianyi had previously heard about Lin Tian''s background. Now that he knew that Lin Tian had become a saint in the Virtuous Cloud Sect, he was able to seize first place in the True Martial Grand Ceremony.


    This confirmed his thoughts. Moreover, Lin Tian was already the sect head of the Virtuous Cloud Sect.


    In order to protect the bloodline of the Luo Family, Luo Tianyi naturally had to show the attitude that he should have.


    However, Lin Tian shook his head. His ambition was not Tian Luo, nor was it the Ling Xiao Saint Sect.


    There was no use in having such a kingdom.


    Furthermore, the Lin Family''s Ancestor Lin Wudi was able to defeat Tian Luo''s foundation all by himself. However, even he was unwilling to become king, and had given his power to his brother, the ancestor of the Luo Family.


    Lin Tian naturally wouldn''t take it, but Lin Tian also had three promises to make with the Luo Family.


    The first was to rebuild the Lin Clan''s ancestral hall and restore the Lin Clan. As long as Tian Luo did not die, the Lin Clan would exist for a day.


    Secondly, Luo Tianyi had to admit the wrongs committed by the ancestors of the Lin Clan in front of the ancestral hall of the Lin Clan''s ancestor, Lin Wudi, and promise not to make any mistakes in the future.


    Third, Tian Luo Country still had the surname Luo, but the Lin Family had the authority to supervise.


    Besides Lin Wu''s faction, the Lin Clan also had countless other branches, which could be considered as members of the Lin Clan.


    Now that the Lin Clan had reunited, countless members of the Lin Clan had gathered.


    Lin Tian looked for the family closest to his family and had them become the managers of the Lin Clan. He also selected a large group of talented and talented descendants of the Lin Clan and entered the Five Great Academies, or even the Virtuous Heaven Sect.


    The entire Lin Clan was in a state of prosperity.


    And after doing all of this, Lin Tian also began to prepare for his own wedding. Lin Tian''s wedding this time was destined to shake the entire True Martial World!

    And one piece of good news was that the relationship between Lin Tian, Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang had eased up a lot. At least, they were not at a loss of what to say to each other like before.


    Lin Tian finally felt the smell of home.


    At the same time, countless people were also paying attention to Lin Tian''s big wedding.


    The wedding ceremony was naturally held in Sky Dragon City.


    This was the place where Lin Tian grew up.


    Lin Tian once again returned to the Green Cliff Mountain to pay his respects to Uncle Yu.


    Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang also followed along.


    Uncle Yu had said, "This old servant has lived up to the Young Master and Madam''s request and raised the young master. This old servant can now go see the old master with a smile."


    In front of Uncle Yu''s tomb, Lin Tian had completely opened his heart and told Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang about everything that had happened in the past few years.


    After he finished listening, Lu Wushuang''s eyes reddened. He felt a hundred different emotions in his heart.


    Only Lin Feng stood there silently, listening to Lin Tian''s story bit by bit.


    "Do you hate me and your mother?" Lin Feng asked.


    "Hate!" Lin Tian raised his head and resolutely replied.


    Immediately, the expression on Lu Wushuang''s face changed.


    But Lin Tian lowered his head again: "So what if I hate you? You''re my parents. You gave me life. No matter what, I can''t let you go."


    Lin Tian sighed in his heart and finally opened his mouth to ask: "That year, what happened that made you abandon me?"


    "Is the Horned Demon no longer around?" Lin Feng asked.


    Lin Tian told Lin Feng about the demons that he and Horned Demon had met in the Navy Tide Forbidden Land.


    Lin Feng lightly sighed before saying: "As expected, in that case, I presume that Horned Demon has already told you about the matters concerning the Demon race."


    "Yes." Lin Tian nodded.


    Back then, I had unintentionally obtained this Dragon Transformation Token, but unfortunately, I''m not a heaven chosen person, so I didn''t receive the acknowledgement of the Dragon Transformation Token. At the same time, I don''t have the ancestral dragon blood essence, but the Horned Dragon can help me. Lin Feng revealed his secret.


    "No wonder." Lin Tian continued to nod his head.


    His father, Lin Tian had long since heard of him. His talent was terrifying to the extreme.


    Previously, Lin Tian didn''t know the reason, but later on he found out that his father had regressed and the dragon blood in his body was extremely powerful.


    And now, Lin Tian knew that there was actually help from the Horned Demon.


    "You must have heard about how I took your mother away from the Emerald Holy Valley." Not long after that, your mother had you, and at that time, the entire upper echelons of Zhen Wu Jie were afraid of me, so they didn''t dare to show their faces, but at the same time, Hornless and I discovered something else, Hu Xinglie. I had fought with him before and found out that he was shrouded in demonic energy, which was why I had my suspicions, and then, according to Hu Xinglie, I found a hidden stronghold of the devils in Zhen Wu Jie, and of course, we had to eliminate the devils, which is the responsibility of the humans of our Sky Dragon Continent.


    Your mother and I have been working together to kill those devils, but I also suffered some injuries. Not long after you were born, I discovered another thing, which was that a certain region of the Zhen Wu Jie was gradually being corroded by the devilish qi. The power of the rules had been broken down a lot, and if it were to be corroded, then the entire Zhen Wu Jie would quickly become a purgatory in the mortal world.


    "Your mother and I decided to guard there. We gave the Dragonize Order and you to Uncle Yu to raise you." After Lin Feng said this, Lin Tian already knew the reason why his parents abandoned him at that time.


    This is their mission. If you don''t awaken the Dragon Bloodline, many things wouldn''t happen to you. However, once you awaken, it would naturally be up to you.


    These things were all very obvious.


    After Lin Feng said this, Lin Tian more or less began to understand them.


    Lin Feng had also awakened the dragon bloodline, it should be the Golden Dragon Seed. Previously, Lin Feng being able to transform into a Golden Dragon explained everything.


    Lin Tian lightly sighed and did not say anything else.


    He knew that Lin Feng did not say how the situation in the corroded area was, so he was not very optimistic. Presumably, after Lin Tian''s wedding, Lin Feng and Lu Wushuang would return.


    At the same time, the news of Lin Tian''s wedding had quickly spread throughout the entire Zhen Wu Jie and had even spread to other realms.


    The Lin Clan was completely in charge of the Lin Tian''s wedding ceremony this time, they were naturally the most concerned about it. It had to be known that without Lin Tian, all of them would have been destined to die a lifetime of mediocrity, never to have any great development.


    But now, the clan had been established, and it was almost on equal footing with the royal family.


    Therefore, all the members of the Lin Clan were extremely excited.


    Other than that, countless people related to Lin Tian had come to Sky Dragon City.


    Some of the Headmasters of the Five Great Academies and the king of Tian Luo had all come to Sky Dragon City to congratulate Lin Tian.


    In addition, in True Martial World''s True Martial Pavilion, Fang Yan had also personally come to help Lin Tian manage the wedding ceremony.


    Of the nine great sects of Zhen Wu Jie, there were already eight of them. There was no longer anyone left in the sacred doors. After all, Hu Xinglie was already dead.


    The disciples of the eight sects all came one by one as friends to congratulate Lin Tian.


    The Demon Spirit Domain was also shocked by this news.


    Last time, after he had killed that High Priest and Jiang Tianquan, Lu Wushuang had personally brought Yun Huang back to the Demon Spirit Realm.


    The Sky Serpent Clan was suppressed, and the Sky Phoenix Clan re-elected their High Priest, Yunhuang became the patriarch of the Sky Phoenix Clan.


    As a result, countless demons from the Demon Spirit Realm had chosen to join the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Currently, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was already the number one hegemon of the Demon Spirit Realm.


    But this time, if Yun Feng wanted to get married, naturally there would be countless demons coming as well.


    The man from the barbarian race, Wu Shan, had also come to the Spirit Calamity Realm. He had brought along a group of barbarians with him.


    Sky Dragon City, the small city that Tian Luo Kingdom used to be the weakest in comparison, was currently bustling with noise and excitement.


    Demi-humans, barbarians, humans, and the three great clans had all arrived.


    Within the Western Spiritual Realm, besides Ling Wuji, Hua Qianlei had also come. The Palace Lords of the Changchun Sacred Palace, the Sword Saint Palace, the Star Sea Sect, and the Profound Heaven Sacred Sect.


    After all, the Elders of True Martial Pavilion were present. Naturally, they wouldn''t dare to act arrogantly.


    The grand marriage celebration was set for three days, and on the first day, countless people had already gathered.


    However, what made Lin Tian somewhat regretful was that the people he had the best relationship with were not present.


    However, he did not know that they would be able to make it in time. Furthermore, Lin Tian suddenly thought of another person. It was Xiao Chen, whom he had met in the illusory Dragon Gate.


    It had been a long time since he received any news of Xiao Chen. However, he did not know if Xiao Chen would come in the end.


    These past few days, besides receiving guests, Lin Tian had also been busy cultivating.


    He could not relax at all. Furthermore, he had absorbed a portion of the power of the Darkness Crystal. His strength had once again improved tremendously and he had now reached the eighth level of the Manifestation stage.


    On the day of the wedding, Lin Tian and Yun Huang had already prepared everything.


    On this day, the entire Sky Dragon City was extremely lively and grand. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere and everyone knew that it was Lin Tian''s wedding day.


    But just as Lin Tian was on his way to welcome Yun Huang, he suddenly felt something in his hand and suddenly moved.


    "Mother''s Twin Lives Worm!" Lin Tian immediately shouted out in joy: "Xiao Chen!"


    "Marrying is such a big matter, why didn''t you tell me? Also, has the Lin Clan really started anew?" At this moment, not far away, a youth had a faint smile on his face.


    Back then, before Xiao Chen left, he had kept the mother worm of his mother on him. As for the other insects, he had left them on Lin Tian.


    This kind of mother and child dual-life worm had no other uses, only a function of a single connection.


    If the two were very close, then the power of this Twin Lives Worm would be revealed.


    Since Xiao Chen had come, it was good news for Lin Tian.


    He, alone, was too tired to save the entire Sky Dragon Continent.


    He needed helpers, and Xiao Chen was one of his big helpers.


    "Berserk Demon is getting married. Yan''er, are you jealous?" A youth''s voice sounded once again.


    "Fang Xing, if you want to die, I don''t mind letting you ¡­" A young girl''s voice was heard. Her tone was ice-cold.


    "You guys say, this Berserk Demon is actually hiding so deeply, I wonder how that new bride is like?" Another voice rang out.


    "When the Berserk Demons hear your words, I wonder what they will think ¡­" Another voice sounded, sounding a little lazy.


    "You bastards, I really thought you had all died outside, you''re not coming anymore!" Lin Tian opened his mouth again and laughed loudly.


    He raised his head and saw that the four people standing in front of him were Fang Xing, Gu Yan''er, and Ji Fangge. The most remarkable thing was that Du Feng had also returned.


    The other four laughed as well.


    "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"


    "Second bow to the hall!"


    "Husband and wife, greet each other ¡ª send to the bridal chamber."


    After the ceremony ended, Yun Huang entered the room. As for the others, they began to pour water on the bridegroom with all their might.


    After Lin Tian finished off everyone, he went straight to Yun Huang and his bridal room.


    "Yun Huang." Lin Tian muttered this name in his heart: "I''m finally with you. No matter what, I promise you that we will never separate!"


    Lin TianAo knew that he had a lot of things to do in the future and a very difficult mission to take care of, but he was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was filled with confidence.


    The road was still very far, but Lin Tian walked forward one step at a time.


    He was always on the road and would not stop. Complete)
