Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 1
“I actually didn’t die!”
After a long period of darkness, the Sword Spirit suddenly awakened.
“You and I have known each other for ten years, and we have shared many lives and deaths together. I have treated you as my most important friend and companion, but what about you? “In order to cultivate a Qi Method, you actually want to burn me to death and swallow me …”
Therefore, under the pretext of helping him heal his injuries, Bai Cangtian tricked the sword spirit into entering the divine refining furnace. Using the Nine Dragons Lightning Fire, he burned it for forty-nine days, finally killing the sword spirit.
“However, I’ve clearly lost my soul in the furnace, but not only did I not die, I’ve even been reborn. Just what is going on …”
The sword spirit frowned as it checked its current state. It was shocked to discover that there was a special brand within its sea of consciousness. When the sword spirit tried to communicate with it using its mental energy, the sound of a simple and unsophisticated profound sound of a great Dao was suddenly heard. It was deafening.
“This is …” Spirit Devouring Method? ”
The sword spirit was stunned. It did not dare to believe what had just happened. However, that mysterious ancient aura was impossible to fake. Only a Heaven Tier technique could have such an aura.
After thinking for a long time, the Sword Spirit could not figure out what was going on. However, there was no point in thinking about it. He sighed and said, “Perhaps, this is called Heaven’s Will.”
“Bai Cangtian, I’m afraid even in your dreams you would not expect that the cultivation technique you spent so much effort to cultivate would actually be mine. “In my previous life, I was pure and honest, but in exchange, I was maliciously greedy. Since the heavens gave me the chance to start over, in the future, I will personally seek justice from you!”
The Sword Spirit’s emotions were in turmoil as her chest rose and fell along with her hurried breathing. It brought along a heart-wrenching pain; it turned out that the injuries on her body had been affected.
At the same time, the memories of the original owner of this body also appeared in the Sword Spirit’s mind.
So it turned out that the person who had been possessed by the sword spirit was called Lin Jian, and he was the Eldest Young Master of the Wu Dynasty’s Greencloud City, the Lin Family. He was seventeen years old this year.
Speaking of this Young Master Lin, he was a household name in Greencloud City. His martial arts talent was extremely poor. He did not have any talent for cultivation, but he was actually proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He was especially adept at music.
But, the Nine Regions Continent respected the martial arts, and even though Lin Jian’s voice was divine, in the eyes of the onlookers, he was only doing his business.
As for his fiancee, the eldest daughter of the Gongsun Clan, Gongsun Waner, she had always looked down upon Lin Jian for that, and had already thought of annulling the engagement, only because she was afraid that people would gossip about her did she not mention it.
Three days ago, at a banquet, Gongsun Waner finally found a chance to instigate one of her pursuers, making the young master of the Bai Family, Bai Luohan, publicly insult Lin Jian, and force him to make a bet.
Both sides agreed that if Lin Jian could take one palm from Bai Luohan and not fall, it would be considered his win and Bai Luohan would give him an apology. But if he failed, then he had to take the initiative and break off the engagement with Gongsun Waner.
The result was obvious, Lin Jian had lost.
In fact, that palm had taken his life, which was why the sword spirit possessed his body back to life.
“With a body refining eighth level cultivation and using a martial skill, he’s going all out against a body refining second level martial artist … How was this a bet? “He simply doesn’t care about human life.”
The sword spirit shook her head.
As the saying goes, enemies don’t meet. To think that the original owner of his body was also harmed by the Bai Clan.
The young master of the Bai Family, Bai Luohan, was one of Bai Cangtian’s nephew.
“Whatever. In this life, I borrowed your body to revive, so I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility of avenging you.” The sword spirit paused before taking a deep breath. “Then, from now on, I… It’s Lin Jian! ”
Night descended, and the autumn air felt slightly cold.
The interior of the Lin Residence was brightly lit. There were numerous figures moving about, creating a bustling scene.
Only from the east, the Violet Bamboo Pavilion that Lin Jian resided in was silent, and in this large Lin Palace, it seemed out of place.
In the pavilion, Lin Jian sat on the bed.
He sat cross-legged, immersed in his thoughts, and operated the mysterious technique — — Spirit Devouring Method.
This body had suffered heavy injuries three days ago and had yet to recover. This was because there was a tyrannical wave of elemental energy within its body that was jumping up and down recklessly. If this wave of elemental energy was not resolved, the victim would have to endure extreme pain at every moment.
“The boy from the Bai Clan actually used this Heart Destruction Palm, it’s really cruel. If I didn’t already grasp the Spirit Devouring Method, I’m afraid I would have been unable to do anything to you …”
Lin Jian laughed indifferently, both hands forming two hand seals, the Spirit Qi in his body circulated together, transforming into a surging beast, swallowing the Spirit Qi.
“Pfft!”
Lin Jian spat out a mouthful of black blood, but his complexion looked a lot better, and the hidden danger had also been eliminated.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the bedroom.
A fifteen to sixteen year old little errand boy walked in with a bowl of medicine in his hands. Seeing Lin Jian spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was shocked and fearful at the same time. Ah, why did he cough up blood … Are you all right? “Come, drink this medicine …”
“I’m fine.”
Lin Jian took the soup, seeing the worried look on the little errand boy’s face, his heart felt warm.
This errand boy’s name was Xiao Sanzi, he had been serving by Lin Jian’s side since he was young, and even though his bloodline’s power was weak, he had never abandoned him, and had a deep friendship with Lin Jian.
“Wuu, Young Master, I am relieved to see that you are fine!” These past few days, Xiao Sanzi prayed to the gods and buddhas every day, hoping that you would wake up. “Say, if something were to happen to you, how would I explain myself to the master’s spirit in heaven …”
Xiao Sanzi’s nose was snot and tears. He looked at Lin Jian and felt extremely wronged, this young man had always been thin, and in order to take care of Lin Jian, he appeared even more haggard.
Lin Jian picked up the soup medicine and finished it in one gulp. Although the stomach was spicy and bitter, after the medicine entered his body, it brought about a warm flow which made him feel much better.
“The smell of the medicine is…” Spirit Replenishing Grass? ”
Lin Jian smacked his lips and self-deprecatingly said: “With my current status in the Lin Family, they’re actually willing to use such precious spirit medicine to treat my injuries?”
“It was Deacon Nan Yang who secretly slipped it to me …” Xiao Sanzi was also very angry, and said: “When I went to the Medicine Hall, the words of the foremen were very unpleasant to listen to! Not only did you not give me the medicine, you even want to chase me out. You truly look down on people, young master, you are the heir to the major chamber, how dare they be so disrespectful! ”
When Lin Jian heard this, he could only smile.
Although the name of the successor to the major chamber sounded well-known, the current Lin Family was controlled by the Second Branch.
Since seven years ago, the previous generation’s Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Zhenyue, had died in the hands of Bai Cangtian, so the Lin Family’s major chamber had lost its pillar of support.
Therefore, up until now, Lin Jian’s title of being the successor of the major chamber was just an empty air. The reason why he was able to live in the most luxurious Violet Bamboo Pavilion and enjoy the treatment of being the successor was only because he had an engagement with the Young Miss of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Waner.
The Lin Clan hoped to use this engagement to form an alliance with the Gongsun Clan, and that was why they had always treated Lin Jian well, and hoped that he could marry Gongsun Waner back to their clan. But three days ago, Lin Jian took the initiative to cancel the engagement, which meant that the last bit of use he had of the Lin Family was no longer valuable, so from now on, his treatment would only get worse and worse.
“I’m afraid that before long, I will have to move out of Violet Bamboo Pavilion, right?”
Lin Jian looked around and laughed.
Xiao Sanzi’s heart tightened. He wanted to speak up and comfort Lin Jian, but he raised his hand to stop himself.
“There’s no need to say anymore. You can leave. I’m going to start cultivating.”
Lin Jian exhaled, sat cross legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and started to cultivate again. Xiao Sanzi looked at him, sighed, and then silently took his leave.
The surroundings quieted down once more.
Under the clear and cold moonlight, the formless natural elemental energy was slowly but surely gathering towards the Violet Bamboo Pavilion.
When Lin Jian channeled the《 Spirit Devouring Method》, he clearly felt the intimate connection he had with heaven and earth.
In the past, when the original owner of this body cultivated, he could only capture a tiny bit of the elemental energy floating in the air. It was as if he was fishing in a river with a harpoon; the efficiency was extremely low.
But at that moment — Lin Jian seemed to have turned into a whirlpool, emitting a strong suction force that rooted in the depths of the ocean. All the fish that were wandering around took the initiative to swim into the whirlpool, for him to absorb at will.
The original owner of this body started cultivating at the age of ten, was at the first grade of body refining at the age of twelve, and was at the second grade of body refining at the age of fifteen. But right now, Lin Jian had only used the “Spirit Devouring Method” to cultivate for a night, and a crack had appeared on the shackle that led to the third grade Refining Body.
“As expected of a Heaven Rank technique, the Spirit Devouring Method is truly powerful!”
Lin Jian’s eyes lit up, and he said: “If that’s the case, then tonight, I will break through the Third grade of Refining Body in one go!”
