C41 Teenage Pavilion to Ask the Way Ahead
The scene in his mind didn't go away for a long time, Lin Xiu didn't notice that his eyes had become crystal clear.
The powerful sword immortal in his mind actually also had something that he was unable to accomplish.
Lin Xiu felt that he had gained too much during the Netherworld Palace Trial. Forget about the Mental Martial Skill, just the images left in his mind by the Blood-robed General Ye Wang and the Azurelotus Sword Immortal Ye Fan were enough to benefit him for the rest of his life.
The journey of a person was not smooth sailing. No matter how high one's cultivation was, they still had things that they could not accomplish. No matter how long they lived, they would still feel regret.
If a person's life was good, then only he would know whether or not he was living comfortably.
He knew that there were many things in his life that were difficult for him to grasp, but if his cultivation level was not high enough, those things might happen one after another. Only when he became strong enough would he be able to be reborn from the destructive strikes time and time again.
Anyone who can't destroy me will make me strong, Lin Xiu thought to himself.
Looking at the Longsword in his hands, Lin Xiu's eyes no longer held any fear, it was replaced with a hint of sadness. Through the images in his mind, Lin Xiu understood that this sword should be one of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal Ye Fan's sword, the Wangjiang Sword.
When the Wangjiang Sword appeared, the wind blew! The Wangjiang Sword moved, the world was in chaos!
The Wangjiang Sword in his hands seemed to be able to feel Lin Xiu's thoughts. The sword kept buzzing non-stop, as if it was lamenting the departure of its old master and welcoming the arrival of its new master.
That's right, the moment Lin Xiu stepped onto the stone steps, he had already chosen Lin Xiu as his master. As for the other two weapons, whether Lin Xiu could obtain them would depend on whether his luck was good enough.
With the Wangjiang Sword in his hands, Lin Xiu felt that with just one sword in hand, he already possessed the ability to make the Gods and Demons retreat. It was just too powerful.
Even the stone steps that were originally heavy with pressure seemed to vanish into thin air the moment he picked up the Wangjiang Sword, as if they had never existed.
920 steps, 930 steps, 950 steps …
Finally, Lin Xiu stood on the 998th step, just one step away from reaching the top. He could clearly see that after the last step, there was a simple and unadorned pavilion, and each pavilion had a weapon that emitted a mysterious pressure, which was comparable to the Wangjiang Sword s.
The Wangjiang Sword in his hand did not urge Lin Xiu to climb the stairs. Instead, it emitted a light aura that enveloped Lin Xiu, allowing him to withstand the pressure from the other two weapons.
After working so hard all the way here, was he finally going to reach his final destination? The moment Lin Xiu received the Wangjiang Sword, he had already made up his mind that this time's challenge would be over once he reached the top of the mountain. Because from the conversation between Bai Sou and Jiu You, Lin Xiu knew that the road of Netherworld Palace was not for him to walk, no matter how strong the cultivation was, if all the people close to him were to leave him, this kind of power would only be exchanged with loneliness and misery.
He, Lin Xiu, had always cultivated only because he wanted to heal his father's injuries and also because he wanted to reunite with his family. For this, he was willing to pay any price.
However, Lin Xiu didn't think that he could go to the Netherworld Palace's Nine Hell sect for the sake of raising his own cultivation.
Although he was not a good person, he still had a baseline. He was very clear on what he wanted.
Perhaps when his wish was fulfilled, he would also want to see the scenery at the highest point of his training. However, that was built on the foundation of his parents reuniting.
Thus, Lin Xiu looked at the pavilion not too far away and decisively took the final step.
Weng! *
A gentle breeze blew across his face and all the fatigue disappeared. Lin Xiu felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation after stepping on the stone steps.
On the contrary, it was quite friendly towards those who had set foot on the stairs, so it was likely that this was the tactic of the old man called Bai Sou. If it was the original Netherworld Palace barrier, even if Lin Xiu was able to reach this place, he would most likely die.
Since he was already here, he might as well see for himself what the opportunity that grand voice was referring to was.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiu went straight to the pavilion without even taking a glance at the other two weapons. Lin Xiu was very satisfied with the recognition of the Wangjiang Sword.
"Little fellow, the 9999 step test is actually about your nature. If you have the heart to kill evil, you will be killed by the Heavenly Slaughter Spear right in front of the steps." In front of Lin Xiu, a layer of white light gathered together, turning into the image of an old man with white hair and a beard.
When Lin Xiu saw the old man, he was delighted. The old man in front of him was Bai Sou.
"Thank you for taking care of me all this time, but didn't I already lose you?" "Why …" Lin Xiu cupped his fist in thanks, but there was still some doubt on his face.
However, Bai Sou slightly smiled: "That's right, my real body had long since fallen, but I was able to escape from the Spirit Body in the Nine Hell sect, so naturally, I could maintain an indestructible consciousness."
"Yi, I didn't realize it earlier, but you're quite interesting. You actually have a Spirit Body in your body, let me see what kind of background you have."
After saying that, Bai Sou who was in front of him did not do anything. A layer of fiery red light suddenly appeared on Lin Xiu's body and Lord Fenghuo's figure appeared.
In front of Bai Sou, Lord Fenghuo was very obedient and didn't seem to be proud in front of Lin Xiu at all.
As soon as he appeared, Lord Fenghuo immediately bowed towards the figure of old man Bai Sou, "Junior Huang Ling'er greets old man Bai Sou."
"Oh? It's actually a little fellow from the Flaming Phoenix Clan. Interesting, let me see how you've ended up like this. "
Lord Fenghuo astonishingly discovered that even with his peak of the Heaven Element realm soul strength, he actually did not have the slightest bit of resistance in front of old man Bai Sou. Even if Bai Sou, who was in front of him, could only be considered a remnant of his consciousness, a Spirit Body could not even be called, and his entire cultivation base was not even one in a hundred.
"I have a rather deep relationship with your Fire Phoenix Clan. If I am able to leave behind a single Spirit Body, it wouldn't be difficult for me to recreate your body, but it's just that I can wait until this little fellow arrives. I have already consumed too much of my strength and have to conceal the aura of this place to prevent anyone from discovering it.
When Lord Fenghuo heard Bai Sou's words, even though he was a bit disappointed, he quickly calmed down. "Senior, don't blame yourself too much. When Lin Xiu reaches the Heaven Element Realm, I believe that he'll be able to gather items that can help me reconstruct my body."
"You are open-minded, and this is also good for you. From the way the Spirit Body reconstructed their flesh, on the day of success, I believe that you will also be able to smoothly break through to the Heaven and Earth Mirror." Twisting his beard, Bai Sou looked quite satisfied with Lord Fenghuo's words.
Lin Xiu, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but frown. His innate talent had been sealed when he was still in his infancy. He didn't know if Elder Bai Sou could do anything about it.
At that moment, Lin Xiu told Bai Sou his story in full detail and then stared at him expectantly.
Bai Sou was enraged: "Mu Family is really as inflexible as they were back then, the continent is not too peaceful today, they do not think about increasing their strength, and instead set their sights on some kind of sect instead, they are really stupid."
With that, he waved his hand at Lin Xiu and Lin Xiu's figure flew towards him uncontrollably.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Sou's gaze seemed to be able to see through Lin Xiu's soul and bloodline. In just an instant, he had seen through the seal in Lin Xiu's bloodline.
"Little guy, I can break the seal on your bloodline for you, but I have two methods. Which one do you choose?" However, Bai Sou looked at Lin Xiu and smiled.
Hearing this, Lin Xiu was ecstatic. He forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and said loudly, "Senior, please enlighten me."
"Firstly, I will remove the restriction on you immediately. Based on your bloodline, you should be able to reach the strength of around the Heaven and Earth Mirror in the future. When you reach the Heaven Element Realm, my seal will immediately unseal. At that time, you ought to be able to rely on yourself to break the seal on your bloodline, but at that time, your bloodline will only be secondary, and your own body will be the foundation. " Bai Sou stroked his snow-white beard.
However, Lin Xiu was completely confused by these words. He had no idea what was the meaning behind having a bloodline as a support.
"Senior, please explain it briefly."
"It's simple. Just like the demons, my Human Clan actually has outstanding bloodlines as well. However, the accomplishments I can achieve in the future are limited by the amount of bloodlines I possess. If I were to help you break the seal, your future achievements would come to a halt in the Heaven and Earth Mirror. "The choice is yours." Then, he looked at the little guy in front of him with great interest. He wanted to know if Lin Xiu could resist this temptation.
What surprised him was that Lin Xiu did not hesitate at all and directly said: "I choose the second option."
"Very good, but can this little guy tell me the reason?" He actually agreed with Lin Xiu's decision. However, Lin Xiu gave his answer without even thinking about it, which made him curious.
"Since you said that my bloodline can help me reach the Heaven and Earth Mirror in the future, it means that my mother's family must have a supreme elder who can surpass the Heaven and Earth Mirror. Even if I become a cultivator of the Heaven and Earth Mirror in the future, I have no confidence in reuniting with my family. Lin Xiu's voice was powerful.
