C18 The Path of Youth

The Purple Bamboo Forest at the back of the Heaven Deficiency Mountain could no longer be called the Purple Bamboo Forest. The sky was no longer as blue as before, and the earth was no longer as green as before. The water in the river was no longer as clear as before. At this moment, there was nothing but charred yellow in this place, and there were traces of magical shock waves sweeping out everywhere. If it wasn't for the soil that was stirred up here that had some broken black bamboo roots, it would be very difficult to tell that this was the Purple Bamboo Forest that Tianyu had come to the most in the past.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew across the ruined Heaven Deficiency Mountain. It was desolate everywhere. Looking at the devastation, who could imagine that six years ago, this place was still a pavilion with an eighth grade sect?

A gentle breeze lightly brushed past Tianyu's face, rolling up the hair on his face and dancing wildly. Tianyu was currently kneeling on the ground, piling up a small mound of dirt in front of him.

This mound of dirt was a simple tomb that Tianyu had piled up for the Lin Family. However, there was no one inside this tomb. Perhaps because of the battle five years ago, both sides had used magic in Heaven Deficiency Mountain. It had caused the entire Heaven Deficiency Mountain to burn. Therefore, there was no corpse of the Lin family left behind, so Tianyu built a simple cenotaph after failing to find the corpse. At the same time, Tianyu slowly inserted a stone tablet in front of the mound.

The handwriting of the Lin Family's Spirit's Tomb was engraved on the stone tablet. Tianyu touched the uneven mark on the stone tablet and could not help but feel a tearing pain in his heart. He bit his index finger and allowed the blood to spurt out. He used his bleeding finger to draw on the stone tablet one stroke at a time.

Every time Tianyu drew, he felt a pain in his heart. The hot tears could not hide his endless sadness. The tears flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the yellow earth.

Although Tianyu didn't really like the entire Lin family in his memory, he didn't like it no matter how hard he tried. The Lin family was his home, the place where he was born and raised. No matter how much he hated it, he wouldn't allow anyone to invade his home. It was a place that no one could destroy...

Now that the Lin family no longer existed, Tianyu couldn't help but hug the cold stone tablet. Hot tears flowed down the lifeless stone tablet.

When the tears flowed down Tianyu's blood, they turned into blood and flowed down the edge of the boundary. At this moment, the entire stone monument looked like it was crying, and it was crying about the injustice of the heavens.

Looking down at the entire Heaven Deficiency Mountain, Tianyu and this cenotaph seemed very tiny, but the desolation in the world seemed especially depressing.

One day, two days, three days, six days... Tianyu had been kneeling in front of this cenotaph for six days. During this period of time, it rained once, allowing the rain to hit Tianyu's body. Tianyu had no intention of leaving.

Although the air in Heaven Deficiency Mountain had become much clearer after the rain, the heavy desolate smell and the strong smell of blood could not be washed away.

Today was the seventh day. Tianyu looked at the jade pendant that Lin Shiyu had given him.

"Yu, Yu." He said these two words in a daze.

After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses and put the jade pendant on his waist again. He kowtowed three times to this cenotaph.

"The spirit of Lin family, Lin Tianyu, the unfilial clansman, will bid you farewell. The hatred of Lin family is so deep that I, Lin Tianyu, will make the Sea Clan pay with blood."

"Blood debt is paid with blood, blood debt is paid with blood..." Tianyu shouted using the combat qi of Martial Emperor Level. Under the enhancement of the energy, his voice echoed in the mountains near Heaven Deficiency Mountain.

Since ancient times, there had been seven days of filial piety. Now that the seven days were up, Tianyu would have to leave as well. During these seven days, Tianyu had thought about many things and had come up with a lot of ideas.

In the beginning, Tianyu was prepared to wait until the seven days of filial piety were up before he took out the forty-two prefectures in the southern region of Human Clan and fought with the people of Sea Clan to the death. Even if he couldn't fight those tier 8 and 8 sects by himself, slaughtering those tier 7 sects wouldn't be a problem. Even if he was captured by those tier 8 and 9 sects, he would at most die.

But after seven days of thinking, Tianyu realized that his idea was wrong and ridiculous. No matter how strong he was, how many people could he match? He would only add one more Lin clan soul to the forty-two prefectures. It would be meaningless to sacrifice himself for the Lin clan. Therefore, Tianyu decided to leave.

Leaving did not necessarily mean retreating or being cowardly. It was for the sake of living a better life. He needed to become stronger so that he could have the right to rule the entire continent. Only the strong could make the Sea Clan pay with blood.

He knew that if he casually went to the forty-two prefectures, he would only be able to kill one of them without losing anything. Such an outcome was meaningless, so he did not intend to do so. Only by becoming stronger could he bury the entire Sea Clan with his Lin family.

Therefore, he decided to head north and return to the Human Clan in the north. The best place to go was undoubtedly the Holy Safety Academy.

The first time he heard about the Holy Safety Academy was also from Lin Shiyu. When Lin Shiyu was on the verge of breaking through to become a mage, her family was prepared to send her to the Holy Safety Academy because of her extraordinary talent.

The Holy Safety Academy was known as the number one military magic academy in the continent. Even the Sea Clan, which had a slightly stronger structure in the continent, respected him. The reason was that Holy Safety Holy Lord was in the Human Realm in this ordinary material plane. There were three peak Holy Domain existences in the Profound Sky Continent, and two of them were in the Sea Clan. One of them was Holy Safety Holy Lord.

Due to Holy Safety Holy Lord's existence, the Holy Safety Academy had become the strongest existence in the continent. It was also Holy Safety Holy Lord's existence that had maintained a delicate balance between the two families.

Tianyu analyzed the situation. The war between the Sea Clan and the human race had suddenly started. There were no major conflicts between the two families. It seemed like the war between the Sea Clan and the humans was only a local war, it wouldn't spread to the entire Human Clan or even the entire Sea Clan.

Currently, the Sea Clan had occupied forty-two prefectures in the Human Clan, and it was going according to the current situation. Holy Safety Holy Lord would definitely mediate. Wasn't the reason why the Sea Clan started a war was because they coveted the weapons of the Human Clan? The Human Clan didn't lack weapons the most, so the war wouldn't last for long.

Therefore, Tianyu decided to go to Holy Safety Academy to cultivate. When the war started, he would definitely massacre the Sea Clan. Tianyu's eyes turned cold.

Although there was a very strict standard for selecting disciples in the Holy Safety Academy, Tianyu was confident in his own cultivation and talent, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the Holy Safety Academy.

This was Tianyu's choice. As he stood up and thought about it, he took another look at the stone tablet that was covered in blood and tears. With a loud bang, the energy of the Martial Emperor burst out. Tianyu turned into a ray of light and shot into the distance.

If he wanted to go to the Wuning Mansion of Xingzhou in Yun Hai County, where Holy Safety Academy was located, Tianyu had to go to the Devil Beast Mountain Range that was connected to Heaven Deficiency Mountain. He had to travel three million miles from the Devil Beast Mountain Range to the Yongxing Prefecture of the Linxiang County in the southern part of Human Clan, and then use the teleportation formation to get there.

This was a very dangerous path. There were a total of three big mountains in the Profound Sky Continent. One of them was the Dusk Mountain Range, which was located in the north of the Human Clan. The other was the Devil Beast Mountain Range, which crossed the north and south of the continent and was located in the middle of the Devil Beast Mountain Range. The north of Devil Beast Mountain Range was the southern region of Human Clan, which was the Sea Clan Domain. The other was the Broken Mountain Range that was under the jurisdiction of Sea Clan.

Whether it was the Setting Sun Mountain Range, the Devil Beast Mountain Range, or the Broken Mountain Range, these two words were extremely dangerous. One of the dangers was that these mountain ranges were prehistorical, and there were often hidden, badly damaged, and extremely dangerous formations in the ancient battlefield. Once one fell into the formation, one would be doomed forever, and thus, there were many people involved.

However, this wasn't the reason why these three mountain ranges were so dangerous. The reason why these three mountain ranges were talked about was because they were filled with ferocious Devil Beast, and there were existences that weren't any weaker than Holy Domain Level.

There were only three Holy Domain warriors mentioned in the ancient books, but that was only in the Human Clan and Sea Clan. As for the Devil Beast, no one knew about it.

This was because Holy Domain Devil Beast usually lived in the core area of the mountain range and never went out. These core areas were basically forbidden areas for humans. Basically, there was no exit or exit. It was rumored that even Holy Safety Holy Lord had probed the core area of the Devil Beast Mountain Range. In the end, he returned in defeat, and it seemed like Holy Safety Holy Lord was injured as well. Because of this, the existence of the Holy Domain Devil Beast in the three great mountain ranges was further established.

Although Tianyu knew about the dangers of the Devil Beast Mountain Range and knew that ordinary Devil Beasts and cultivators of the same level would basically win, he still resolutely chose the dangerous Devil Beast Mountain Range.

The most basic reason was that there was no way to go, so where could Tianyu go? Originally, the most direct way to go back and forth between the Human Clan and the Southern World was to teleport to the Yun Hai County through the forty-two teleportation formations in the ten counties of the Southern World. However, a great war had broken out in the sea of people. The Sea Clan's front line had already advanced to forty-two prefectures, and forty-two prefectures of the ten prefectures were in imminent danger.

If Tianyu went to the forty-two prefectures now, not only would he not be able to use the teleportation formation, he might even be able to stop the forty-two prefectures from entering.

This was something that Tianyu did not want to see. Therefore, Tianyu would rather risk his life to go around the forty-two prefectures. If he did not get his revenge, he must live well.

Secondly, Tianyu wanted to use Devil Beast Mountain Range to train himself. Without going through a bloody experience, how could he become an existence that stood tall?

At this moment, Martial Emperor Level's speed had been pushed to the limit. Due to Tianyu's speed being too fast, the friction in the void created a sonic boom that lingered in the air for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. In the distance, there was a huge and towering mountain range in front of Tianyu's eyes.

Devil Beast Mountain Range was the biggest mountain range in Profound Sky Continent. It was 180 million miles long and 30 million miles wide, spanning 90% of the land in the north and south of the continent.

Tianyu stopped in the air and suddenly turned his head to look at the Heaven Deficiency Mountain. At this moment, his vision had become faintly discernible.

"The spirit of the Lin family is in the sky. I, Lin Tianyu, will come back." Tianyu took another look at the Heaven Deficiency Mountain that was no longer in sight. He suddenly turned his head and flew towards the Devil Beast Mountain Range in a streak of light.

He had no regrets on his young path. Perhaps this was Tianyu's destiny, which was different from ordinary people, whether it was the reincarnation of Shaoze from the Spirit Sword Seven Sons. The inheritance of the Primordial Divine Artifact, Profound Spirit Sword, and 21 spirits had established Tianyu's extraordinary destiny.

The destruction of the Lin family had created an irreconcilable hatred between them. Tianyu had to become stronger. Only after becoming stronger would he have the right to control the fate of others. This Devil Beast Mountain Range was the path that he had to walk.

This was the rule of the Cultivator Realm. The weak could only be slaughtered, and only the strong had the right to make the rules.
