Chapter I Lin Han

"Ji Yu, Taihao, when my demon army comes to rule over the Scarlet Fire Continent, I won't let you off!" A black figure let out a roar filled with despair and anger.

This voice seemed to possess boundless magic. With the black shadow as the center, waves of visible ripples appeared in the air. Following which, waves after waves of ripples rushed upwards.

Above him, two imposing silhouettes could be seen standing in the air, silently staring at the shockwaves below. The one on the left was clad in a purplish-gold armor and held a golden bell in his hand. His entire body was emitting a soft golden light, as if he was a true god. With an air of unapproachable elegance, the man lightly shook the bell in his hand with his slender fingers. Immediately, a series of crisp bell sounds rang out.

The sound wave created ripples in the air, and then a colossal dragon made of sound waves appeared in the air. The colossal dragon then pressed down towards the ground. The moment the dragon came into contact with the wave, it instantly broke through the surging wave below. At the same time, it also defeated the last bit of the man's power.

"My clan's great cause will never wither. If you can hold on for a lifetime, you can hold on for eternity! At that time, your descendants will definitely become the sacrifices of our clan. " After seeing that his last bit of power had failed, the black shadow threatened them viciously.

"What happened in the future has nothing to do with me. What happened in this life is something that I am duty-bound to do." A string of clear and melodious voices came from her mouth.

As his voice faded away, the sound dragon bound the black figure tightly, causing him to be unable to move.

The figure on the right was tall and sturdy, wearing an ordinary robe and holding a folding fan. He looked extremely ordinary, and if it weren't for the two horns on his head, he would be no different from an ordinary scholar.

At this moment, the scholar waved his right hand, and the fan flashed with light. In the middle of the light appeared a painting.

There was only a black snake made of ink in the painting. After the painting broke away from the fan, it began to glow and slowly grew larger.

The painting slowly went from palm-sized to the size of a washbasin, from the size of a table, to the size of a house, to the size of a mountain. Slowly, the painting floated in the sky like it was covering the nine heavens.

Following which, the folded fan in the man's hand closed, and the eyes of the black snake in the painting suddenly lit up. It hung in the sky like the sun and moon.

"Roar ~ ~" A sound that could shake the heavens came from the mouth of the black snake.

The black snake instantly escaped from the painting and rushed towards the black shadow.

In the blink of an eye, a black serpent that was hundreds of millions of kilometers long arrived in front of the black shadow. In front of the black snake, the black snake was now like a rope.

Next, the black snake looked down at the black shadow and instantly coiled around it. It twined back and forth three or four times before it dragged the black shadow along with it as it charged towards the picture scroll in the sky, dragging the black shadow into it.

The man in the sky smiled, and with a slight movement of the folding fan in his hand, several rays of light flashed. The painting in the sky split into several dozens of pieces, and then turned into rays of light, flying in different directions.

Every place where the remnant fell to was filled with countless humans. They were all drawing extremely complicated runes. After the remnant fell to the ground, runes flashed and enveloped the remnant.

"Ji Yu, the calamity of this life has passed and we have already been promoted to the Divine Realm. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this world for long! What are you going to do about my request? " The man with the scholarly appearance looked at the beautiful woman and softly said.

At this moment, Ji Yu's eyes were glowing with a golden light. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. As the light continued to shine, runes began to float within the golden light.

After the rune disappeared, Ji Yu rubbed her eyes. Perhaps the consumption of this technique was too great, "After we leave, there will still be another calamity that will be even more dangerous than this one. For the sake of the future generations, I agree with your request. "

Year 20160 of the Terror Calendar. The human race's Supreme Elder Ji Yu joined hands with the demon race's Hierarch Tai Hao to seal the ninth level of the demon race's Demigod realm to declare the end of the era of panic.

"..."

Fire Cloud Country, Qing He County, Lin Family Village Martial Arts Practice Field

From time to time, there would be a chorus of sounds coming from the arena. The two teenagers fought back and forth, fists and legs clashing. At one moment, wind was blowing from their fists, and at the next, their legs were covered in shadows.

After another intense collision, both of them retreated.

"This competition, Lin Han wins." An old man with a slightly aged face spoke.

As the voice faded, the two youths on the stage came to an end.

"Cousin, I've won this time!" Lin Han said to the other person happily.

The other youth's face was dark, and a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes from time to time. His eyes were sinister as he looked at the youth in front of him, "Lin Han, just wait and see. Next time, I'll show you who's boss."

With that, the youth bitterly left.

"Sigh!" Why are youngsters these days so irritable! " The old man looked at Lin Fei who had just left, an undetectable glint of light appearing in his eyes.

Looking at the departing back view of Lin Fei, Lin Han felt a little depressed. He rubbed his nose speechlessly as he started to pack up the items on the stage.

Suddenly, Lin Han seemed to have seen something unbelievable. Multicolored light dots appeared in the air around him, and these light dots started pouring into his body.

Lin Han was surprised to find that there were more light dots in his body, slowly merging into his dantian.

Feeling the influx of light, Lin Han closed his eyes and stood on the spot, enjoying the scenery.

After a few breaths, the influx stabilized. Lin Han opened his eyes and clenched his fists, realizing that his strength had greatly increased.

Lin Han's eyes brightened, "Spiritual energy, I can now absorb it. I've broken through to body refining fourth level."

"Spiritual force, a martial artist's survival depends on. With spiritual force, one can step into the world of martial artists. Only with spiritual force will one be able to unleash the power of a martial skill!" Upon seeing Lin Han's actions, a tinge of nostalgia appeared in the old man's eyes, followed by the sound of his voice slowly drifting into Lin Han's ears.

As his consciousness slowly sunk into his dantian, he looked at his dantian that was filled with spiritual power. Lin Han activated the spiritual power within his body and started to use it to roam around.

"I'm afraid it will be you this year? I wonder if you can get that thing? " The old man seemed to be talking to himself.

Lin Han looked at this old man in confusion. In his memory, this old man was at the Lin Family Village's martial arts training ground collecting dust, and no one knew his name. No one knew what cultivation base he had, Lin Han had once asked his father about it, but he kept it a secret, and the village elders treated him very respectfully.

"I have to tell Father about this." Lin Han's eyes flickered as he walked away in a certain direction.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Lin Han arrived at a room.

He was about thirty years old and wore a light blue robe. There was a trace of worry on his face. No matter how you looked at it, he looked like a refined scholar.

"Father." Lin Han came before the man and respectfully greeted him.

Upon seeing Lin Han, the man nodded his head as he fell into deep thought.

The man who had just lowered his head suddenly lifted it up, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, before he grabbed Lin Han's right hand and killed him.

With a flash of light, a surge of spiritual power rushed into Lin Han's body.

Feeling the boundless Spiritual Energy within his body, Lin Han was slightly shocked. This Spiritual Energy was too powerful, compared to his own Spiritual Energy, it was no different from a small boat in the vast seas.

"Xiao Han, you have already broken through to body refining fourth level!" Lin Yuan looked at Lin Han with a pleased expression.

"Yes, this morning, after battling with my cousin, I broke through to body refining fourth level." Lin Han replied happily.

Lin Han paused for a moment before continuing, "I saw that father always had a worried look on his face recently, is there a problem?"

"There is indeed a problem, but seeing you now, the problem is solved?" Lin Yuan smiled at this moment, with a mysterious look in his eyes.

Lin Han was slightly taken aback, 'What does this have to do with me?'

Just as he was about to ask, Lin Han noticed that his father had already grabbed his shoulder, and felt his entire body being lifted up into the air.

At this moment, the spirit energy under Lin Yuan's feet was bursting forth as he quickly rushed out of the village.

Lin Han felt a slight dizziness as he looked at the retreating figures around him. He then closed his eyes.

When Lin Han felt that he had stopped, he opened his eyes. Lin Han looked around in surprise and puzzlement at Lin Yuan.

"Isn't this the mountain I often come to?" Lin Han muttered to himself.

At this moment, Lin Yuan came to the side of a huge rock. He placed his palm on top of the rock, and with a flash of spiritual energy, he entered the rock.

Under the astonished gaze of Lin Han, the huge rock slowly parted, revealing a passageway in front of him.

"This place is?" Even though he had been playing in the back mountains for so long, he had never seen such a cave entrance.

"Let's go!" "You'll know in a while." Lin Yuan smiled and went ahead.

Although Lin Han was confused, he still followed behind Lin Yuan and stepped into the passage.

"You can call this place the Martial Pavilion! "This is the Intrinsic Martial Pavilion created by the reverse mechanism technique." Lin Yuan looked at the puzzled Lin Han and explained to him.

"We can solve the problem here!" Lin Han looked at the stone steps below and slowly walked down.

"We have to start from twenty years ago. Our Lin Family Village cooperates with the Wu Family Village in finding a secondary spirit vein on a mountain.

Due to the influence of the secondary spirit vein, the concentration of spiritual energy, the level of demonic beasts, and even the medicinal herbs within the mountain are all much higher than in the outside world. " Lin Yuan paused and looked down at Lin Han.

"At that time, the villagers of the two villages discussed that every five years, someone would come out and fight. The winner would be given the right to use the weapon for five years!"

Hearing this, Lin Han came to a realization. So it was this matter.

"Then Father's meaning is, let me compete!" Lin Han asked tentatively.

"As far as I know, Wu Dong from the Wu Family Village is already at the 4th Body Refinement Layer. Originally, you probably wouldn't have had a chance when you were at the 3rd Body Refinement Layer! But it's a different story now. " Lin Yuan smiled and said softly to Lin Han.

Upon hearing that Wu Dong was already at the 4th Body Refinement Layer, Lin Han was slightly taken aback before a trace of fighting spirit appeared in his heart. He could finally have a good fight.

"However, you have just advanced to body refining fourth level. After experiencing the baptism of spirit energy, you are almost qualified to contend against him." Lin Yuan was the first to arrive at the end of the tunnel.

Lin Han curiously followed. He saw a circular plaza and a wooden house placed in the middle of the plaza. Rays of light surrounded the house.

"Father, what does that spiritual energy baptism mean?" Lin Han asked Lin Yuan curiously.

Hearing Lin Han's question, Lin Yuan's face turned serious, "Since you asked, I'll tell you now!" "However, you must keep this a secret from now on. Otherwise, it will bring about a calamity to our Lin Family Village."

Lin Han was slightly taken aback before he nodded his head seriously.

"Because there is a jade spirit stone down there. You should know what a jade spirit stone is, right?" Lin Yuan said with a serious face.

"Could it be the jade spirit stone ranked seventy-two on the Earth Treasure Board?" Lin Han exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, this Jade Spirit Stone is on the Heavenly Material Ranking, it is a treasure that everyone would go crazy for, because there are two uses written on it, one is to absorb the Jade Spirit Stone, if enough Jade Spirit Stones are available, a Jade Spirit Body will be created!" Lin Yuan then explained to Lin Han the effects of the Jade Spirit Stone.

At the side, when Lin Han heard that a Jade Spirit Stone could transform into a Jade Spirit Body, his eyes burned with passion as he looked down. Slowly, he retracted his gaze.

"Since no one has possessed a jade-green body for such a long period of time, it should be because there are fewer of them!" Lin Han said in a slightly deep voice.

"You're right, the number of jade spirit stones in the Martial Pavilion for a long time is not enough to form a Jade Spirit Body." "This has played its second role," Lin Yuan answered his question after hearing what Lin Han said.

"The second effect?" Lin Han, who was standing at the side, asked doubtfully.

"That's right. A jade spirit stone can not only form a jade spirit body, but it can also emit jade spirit energy in the surroundings. As long as spirit stones are placed around it, it will create a companion creature of the jade spirit stone."

"This type of companion creature might not be as powerful as jade spirit stones, but the spirit stones that are infused with jade spirit energy can contain jade spirit energy. If absorbed, the spirit energy will condense into jade spirit energy. Lin Yuan said this as a ray of light appeared on his right index finger. It was not the yellow color from before, but a jade green color. Compared to before, this spiritual energy was not only more condensed, but it also had a trace of life.

"This is the jade spiritual energy?" Lin Han asked as he carefully examined the spiritual energy at the tip of Lin Yuan's finger.

Looking at Lin Han's state, Lin Yuan's finger shook slightly, and a jade-green spiritual energy silently landed on the surrounding rocks.

With a sizzling sound, Lin Han discovered a hole the size of a washbasin appearing on top of the mountain rock. He was stunned for a moment.

"This is too abnormal!" If this small amount of spiritual energy was placed on an ordinary person's body, it would only leave a fist-sized mark. This was a qualitative leap.

Seeing how surprised Lin Han was by the Jade Spirit Qi, Lin Yuan smiled and said to Lin Han, "This kind of Qi is not only powerful, but it can also be used to attack and heal martial skills. "They have a great advantage in terms of cultivation."

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Lin Han's gaze turned to the Martial Pavilion below and became fervent again. He did not expect there to be such a heavenly treasure in the Martial Pavilion.

"..."

On the Scarlet Fire Continent, martial artists were everywhere. The strong could topple mountains and overturn the seas. They could even rely on their own strength to slaughter cities and wipe out territories, standing at the top of the world. The weak would only be able to last a little longer and be subordinate to the strong.

As for the Lin Clan village that Lin Han resided in, it was attached to a branch of the Liu Clan Castle. Every year, they would have to pay tribute to him to protect him.

The art of martial arts was vast and profound. To chase after the peak of martial arts was the dream of all martial artists. From ancient times until now, there were countless number of martial practitioners who had embarked on this path. There were only a few that were truly able to look down on the continent; the rest had all become dried up bones on this path.

Refining the body, Spirit Guiding, Spirit Gathering, Essence Transformation, Essence Initiation, Spirit Travelling, every step would give rise to a formidable combat strength, and every step would bring one closer to the peak.
