Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 44
After retrieving the iron box, everyone immediately returned to the Greencloud City.
On the way, Cao Manager revealed a smile on his face and repeatedly said that the things that Luo Moxian had handed to him finally had some meaning. Recalling the reward that the woman had promised him back then, Cao Manager was grinning from ear to ear.
Over the next few days, Lin Jian prepared for a breakthrough.
As for the Lin Clan …
Recently, however, there were some surging waves in the darkness. The conflicts between the major chamber’s first branch and the second branch were unceasing.
In the study room, Great Elder Nan Dingtian looked at Lin Jian and let out a helpless and gratified sigh, then said: “Originally, the internal situation of the Lin Family was completely dominated by the Second Branch, but since the Trial, when you appeared out of nowhere, you have given many people hope that they would gather here for me, that while supporting you, you would lead them to stand up to the Second Branch Family and the Patriarch, and that this is what I have done.”
“…”
Lin Jian heard for a moment, then asked: “It’s Lin Zhenfeng, are there any big movements?”
Nan Dingtian nodded, and considered to have tacitly agreed.
“Are you sure?”
Lin Jian went straight to the point and asked the main point, it was related to his future development path, if Nan Dingtian could not hold on, his days would not be easy, once he lost the last barrier, he would have to face a Building Foundation Period warrior, and at that time, the Greencloud City would not be able to stay.
Nan Dingtian laughed and said: “We have not reached that point. The Patriarch does not want to make a move yet, after all… My old man won’t live long. He’s younger than me, and he’ll only have to wait two years. However, I did hear some rumors recently that someone was secretly joining hands with the Patriarch and was planning on working with him from the inside and out to attack us together. Although we don’t know if it’s true or not, we still need to be prepared. ”
“Exactly.”
Lin Jian nodded his head and asked: “Then, what do you need me to do?”
“There’s nothing special. I just wanted to let you know that the current situation is not safe. If it’s not necessary, it’s best if you don’t leave the city and go to places like the Wasteland. Also, Profound Spirit Sect is about to hold a Heaven Gathering to recruit new disciples, you must definitely try your best to pass it. ”
Saying that, Nan Dingtian took a sip of his tea and said: “The Lin Family Residence has not been peaceful recently, before the limelight passes, I plan to let us women and children in this house hide elsewhere to avoid the limelight. The Shuntian Escort Office in the south side of the city is opened by an old friend of mine, you can send Xiao Sanzi over later as well.”
“Alright.”
Lin Jian pondered for a moment, then nodded his head. Although the possibility was not high, if he were to fight with the Second Branch, then the Lin Family Residence would become the main battlefield. These old, weak women and children did not have any cultivation, and were powerless to fight.
After bidding farewell to Nan Dingtian, Lin Jian returned to the Violet Bamboo Pavilion and called Xiao Sanzi over. The two left the house and went to the main hall to explain their purpose of coming to the south side of the city to a shopkeeper. That person’s eyes flickered and lowered his voice, then led Lin Jian into the escort company from the back door.
Shuntian Escort Office was in Greencloud City, and although it was not considered a top-notch power, he was still an official businessman. He was rich, and the security office was built on a mountain, but the place he lived in was even more luxurious than the Lin Family compound. Xiao Sanzi’s eyes lit up when he saw it, and shouted that he was clearly here for a vacation.
“As long as you like it.”
Lin Jian shook his head helplessly, following the shopkeeper through a long corridor and a courtyard, arriving at a quiet and secluded place. The Lin Family’s major chamber’s families of elderly, weak, and children were arranged to be here, and just as they entered, Lin Jian saw a familiar face. It was the wife of Deacon Nan Yang, who was also his cousin, Lin Yu’er.
“Little Jian, you’re here …” Lin Yu’er hugged an eight to nine year old little girl. Upon seeing Lin Jian’s beautiful eyes light up, she immediately walked forward and said to the little girl in her embrace: “Warm, quickly, look who’s here!”
He called her a warm little girl, with her big black eyes, and said with her childish voice: “Uncle! “Eat sugar …”
“I’m not eating.”
Lin Jian laughed as he shook his head, stroked the little girl’s hair and said to Lin Yu’er: “Uncle Nan asked me to bring Xiao Sanzi here. Cousin sister, if there’s anything that you can help with, you should just instruct him to do it.”
Lin Yu’er smiled sweetly as she heard this. She waved her hand and said a few polite words, then personally led Xiao Sanzi to settle down.
Seeing that there were no worries, Lin Jian left peacefully.
On this day, within the Violet Bamboo Pavilion, Lin Zhenyue’s tomb.
Lin Jian sat upright and cross legged on the ground, his chest and abdomen moving up and down, supporting his nose, in a breath of time, he was like a whale absorbing water, spitting out two streams of white Qi.
The unceasing sound of water dripping could be heard, but it was the sweat on Lin Jian’s forehead that was dripping onto the ground. In his sea of consciousness, there was currently a violent disturbance.
Roar! “Roar, roar ~ ~ ~”
Terrifying dragon roars echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.
A golden dragon shadow rose up into the sky and dove down into the earth, causing the calm sea of consciousness to surge and the entire world to tremble.
Today was the last day for Lin Jian to absorb the dragon vein, and was also the most crucial moment to successfully cultivate the Dragon Yuan Power.
After two months of continuous refinement, the dragon vein’s spirit energy had been mostly absorbed by Lin Jian, leaving only the last bit. However, this last point was the key to the finishing touch, and also the hardest part of the entire process.
“Seal it for me!”
Lin Jian clenched his teeth, the Spirit Devouring Method started circulating frantically, as an endless amount of Spirit Qi surged into his sea of consciousness, wanting to suppress the golden dragon.
Originally, Lin Jian thought that this step would be completed naturally, but after seeing the terrifying scene of the dragon vein going berserk, Lin Jian realized that he was somewhat naive before as he did not have the time to prepare the best mental defenses. Now, after the backlash of the berserk golden dragon, his sea of consciousness intensely shook, making him feel extremely miserable.
However, if it was only pain, it was still a small matter. The most troublesome thing was that if he could not control the dragon vein in time, then the golden dragon would leave his body and he would explode.
Just as Lin Jian was at a loss of what to do, a sword cry suddenly sounded out, piercing into the waves of the Dragon Roar, filling it up with different colors.
In the next moment, a sword shadow shot out, flying towards the sky and slashing towards the dragon!
The broken sword stabbed into the dragon’s body, aiming for seven inches. Finally, it was able to subdue the lawless golden dragon.
“…” “Hu!”
Lin Jian let out a long breath, feeling that he had just survived a disaster. But when he was rejoicing, he also felt suspicious. Was it the sword intent trial from before, the one that had already nurtured a remnant spirit, and was then swallowed by the Spirit Devouring Method? Why has it not dissipated yet? ”
He tried to use his own mental power to communicate with the broken sword, but the energy that was transmitted to him was like a stone sinking into the ocean, he did not receive any feedback. Furthermore, after the broken sword subdued the golden dragon, it instantly disappeared without a trace.
“This isn’t good.”
Lin Jian frowned, his consciousness retreating out of his sea of consciousness.
But in the next moment, when the power of the dragon vein was channeled back into his sea of consciousness, Lin Jian had no choice but to stabilize his mind, pull it down, and send it into his dantian.
Finally, the Dragon Yuan Power was complete!
