Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 12
Outside the storm, Lin Yan and the rest were fearfully observing.
After engulfing Lin Jian, the storm did not continue moving and instead stayed where it was, like a leaf taking root.
Although he was dressed in shabby clothes and looked to be in a sorry state, his momentum was astonishing.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and struck out with his palm.
With this palm, the wind whistled, and the pale golden Dragon Yuan Power was unleashed with full strength. A dragon’s roar could be heard in the air, but its power was several levels stronger than before when he was at the Fourth grade Refining Body.
“You broke through?!”
Lin Yan’s expression changed, the aura of this palm was clearly at the fifth grade Refining Body realm!
The Lin Family disciple in front of Lin Jian had a pale face. Suppressed by Lin Jian’s aura, he did not dare make any rash movements.
Lin Jian’s large hand imprinted onto the disciple’s two forearms, and with a ‘bang’ sound, the disciple flew backwards as if he had been struck on the head by a huge hammer, and his body couldn’t help but fly backwards. Even though he was also a Fifth Grade Refining Body martial artist, this Lin Family disciple could not even block one move from Lin Jian.
Dragon Yuan Power, so tyrannical!
In the next moment, Lin Jian barged in recklessly, and a dozen or so disciples of the Lin Family gritted their teeth as they tried their best to stop him.
As soon as the two sides clashed, more than a dozen disciples were defeated by Lin Jian.
With their strength, they could barely suppress the body refining fourth grade Lin Jian with their numbers advantage, but now that Lin Jian had broken through to body refining fifth grade, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and if they wanted to rely on numbers to make up for it, it was already impossible.
A dozen odd elite disciples of the Lin Clan, none of them were able to withstand Lin Jian’s three fists and two palms.
Amongst them, Lin Yan had already made up his mind. Although he knew that he was not Lin Jian’s match, he still wanted to use all of his trump cards, to fight Lin Jian to the bitter end. He had even prepared a speech to embellish his heroic spirit for this battle.
But who knew … Lin Jian’s sword strike had forced him into a panic, and he was unable to defend himself. Then, he kicked’s neck, and knocked him out even more, until he lost consciousness, and was unable to say a single word. Similarly, Lin Jian did not even look at him once.
Before long, the ground was strewn with more than ten figures lying on it.
“How troublesome.”
Lin Jian said in disdain, and then leaped and flew, quickly chasing after the spirit of the broken sword.
To be able to meet a spirit body here was an unexpected gain. Although the Spirit Devouring Method was a Heaven Tier technique, it required a lot of resources to cultivate and a spirit body was the rarest of all.
“With the attributes that the Spirit Devouring Method has currently displayed, although it can be considered a top tier technique, it doesn’t have much of a mystical property. If I’m not wrong, the current Spirit Devouring Method is still in the growth phase, and it needs to constantly devour spirit bodies to unlock more secrets.”
Lin Jian heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the broken sword spirit that had escaped to the end of the Road to Trial, and laughed: After I devour you, what will I awaken? I’m really looking forward to it. ”
With that, Lin Jian walked into the Road to Trial.
Just as he stepped onto the stairs, Lin Jian felt a wave of sword Qi attacking him, but it was not painful nor itchy to him, it was extremely weak.
In fact, the strength of the sword qi in the storm of sword intent was about the same as the strength of the sword qi at the end of Road to Trial. For Lin Jian to be able to temper his body in the storm, this Road to Trial gave him no pressure.
Very quickly, Lin Jian walked up the stairs and followed the Road to Trial until he arrived at the end.
The broken sword spirit was floating here.
“No more escaping?”
Lin Jian laughed playfully. In fact, he could tell that the power of the Sword Spirit had already been exhausted, and for the past three days, it had been in a period of peace, and also because of the Sword Spirit’s weakened state after activating the storm. It could not use too much strength.
Lin Jian released his Spirit Force and pulled the broken sword into his sea of consciousness. Despite the sword spirit resisting it with all its might, it was useless and was quickly dragged into the sea of consciousness.
Immediately after, the Spirit Devouring Method transformed into a dragon and pounced forward ferociously, directly slicing open the dragon’s mouth, with a kacha sound, it bit onto the Sword Spirit’s body, chewing heavily, and very quickly, it completely swallowed the Sword Spirit.
“Hu!”
Lin Jian sat cross legged on the ground, refining the huge amount of spirit force in his body, his Spirit Devouring Method frantically revolving, bringing about the Dragon Yuan Power in his body, causing his cultivation to continuously improve.
At the same time, deep within his consciousness, the imprint of the Spirit Devouring Method suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
“Path of Divine Symbol, assimilate the spirit and transform it into spirit, retrieve the spirit of all living things in the world, transform it into a supreme divine talisman …”
This was actually a talisman cultivation technique!
In the Nine Regions Continent, everyone could cultivate and become warriors, but there were very few people who could use their spirit energy elsewhere.
Apothecaries used Origin Energy to refine pills. The Charm Magician used elemental energy to practice talismans. A weapons craftsman was capable of refining using Origin Energy.
These three jobs were the most respected jobs in Nine Regions Continent.
As a martial artist, if your cultivation level was low, you would be looked down upon wherever you went. But as one of these three professions, no matter how low your level was, even the lowest of the low would have countless forces willing to try to win you over. This was the gap between them.
“I never thought that there would be a hidden talisman cultivation technique in the Spirit Devouring Method. If I can become a Charm Magician, it will be of great help to my future cultivation!”
Lin Jian started to forget himself as he immersed his consciousness into the depths of his sea of consciousness, fully focusing on refining this’ Path of Divine Symbol ‘cultivation technique. From what he could sense, this Path of Divine Symbol was a top-notch existence even within the rune dao techniques.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Finally, Lin Jian woke up.
He opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed within the depths of his eyes.
Lin Jian raised his hand, his fingers forming a sword, he drew a few lines in the air, causing the Sword Qi of the heaven and earth to suddenly gather.
In the next moment, a translucent sword aura crystal appeared in mid air, on it were carvings of extremely profound and mysterious patterns. Lin Jian flicked his finger and the crystal shattered, a sword intent actually shot out from within.
“Sword Talisman!”
Lin Jian’s eyes lit up, he did not expect that he would actually succeed, although the power of the sword token was extremely weak, and was only at the level of a Second Rank Refining Body cultivator, it was his first time creating a talisman, so being able to succeed on the first try was already unbelievable.
“As expected of the Spirit Devouring Method, as expected of the Path of Divine Symbol …”
Lin Jian sighed.
Soon after, he stood up, and his gaze landed on something. It was the sword symbol that was placed at the end of Road to Trial.
As long as he obtained it, this trial would come to an end, and Lin Jian would also obtain the qualifications to become an elite disciple. From then on, the major chamber would not have any more inheritances, and the dragon veins in the Violet Bamboo Pavilion would not be at all worrisome!
Lin Jian laughed indifferently, then extended his hand and took down the sword symbol.
Behind the Lin Residence, on the public square.
It was already late at night.
Following the intense ripples of elemental energy and sword energy in the air, a portal was projected from the broken sword.
Immediately, dozens of Lin Clan disciples returned to the plaza.
“It’s actually that fast?”
The elders and foremen were all shocked. Before three days even passed, the disciples of the Lin Family were already transported back. This undoubtedly meant that someone had completed the Road to Trial and obtained the sword token.
In the next moment, the figures of all the disciples appeared in front of everyone. Among them, Lin Yan was the leader of the Second Branch Family.
“Missed?”
Seeing that, Lin Zhenfeng’s pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Jian.
Lin Jian felt the Patriarch’s gaze on him and his expression became indifferent. He raised his arm and held the sword token in his hand and said loudly: “Disciple Lin Jian has passed Road to Trial!”
“Hua!”
All of a sudden, an uproar broke out.
Everyone looked at Lin Jian in disbelief, they did not expect him to actually succeed.
Furthermore, based on the fact that Lin Yan and the rest had fainted on the ground, they could infer that Lin Jian had beaten them up thoroughly within the Sword Intent Secret Realm, and only then did he pass through the Road to Trial.
This piece of trash … He actually has this kind of ability?
Even though it was hard to believe, hearing it with their own ears and seeing it with their own eyes was the truth. The truth was right in front of them, and they had no choice but to admit it.
“Hahaha, Jian’er, well done!”
Just then, Great Clan Elder Nan Dingtian laughed out loud, showing his satisfaction.
Behind him, a few clan elders and deacons looked at each other, took a step forward and said: “Young Master Lin Jian is extremely courageous, since you have already passed the Road to Trial, according to the clan rules, you should be granted the qualifications to become an elite!”
These people were all suppressed by Lin Zhenfeng. Seeing that the major chamber was about to rise again, they decided to follow him. If they had Nan Dingtian’s help, their position in the Lin Family would definitely increase by a lot.
“That’s right!”
Hearing that, Nan Dingtian immediately turned serious, and said: “Jian’er has already passed Road to Trial, if she is bestowed the qualifications, the Lin Family’s major chamber’s inheritance will be endless!”
With that, the second and third clan elders looked at each other and spoke out, but they were afraid that they would offend Lin Zhenfeng, and did not finish their words.
“Hu!”
Lin Jian stood below the stage. When he saw this scene, he was slightly excited in his heart.
Thus, the dragon vein was preserved.
At this time, Lin Zhenfeng let out a cold laugh, and said: “Giving you the qualification of an elite? Are you kidding me? Lin Jian, is he really qualified to be an elite? ”
As his voice fell, Nan Dingtian and the others, on the other hand, frowned and said: “The Lin Clan’s rules are that anyone who passes Sword Intent Secret Realm before the age of eighteen can obtain the right to become an elite. Since Lin Jian has the sword token, why is he not qualified?”
“Humph!”
Lin Zhenfeng snorted, and asked: “Then I will ask you, do you know Lin Jian’s birthdate?”
Nan Dingtian’s face changed, he had already realised something, and after being silent for a moment, he said: “Nine Regions Continent Calendar, 2338, April 4, quarter of an hour.”
“It’s the Nine Regions Continent Calendar now, April 4th, 2306 years. The hour of ugliness has passed, and the hour of ugliness has passed!”
Lin Zhenfeng laughed coldly again and again, and pointed at Lin Jian: “Even though Lin Jian has passed the trial, he is two hours too slow.
