Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 592 Six-Colored Seal
Simple and clear!
The founder of the Starfall Palace didn't say anything extra; he simply told Lin Chen what was at the bottom of the pit.

A set of techniques, a legacy passed down through generations.

This cultivation technique was left to the future disciples of the Starfall Heavenly Palace, and he hoped that Lin Chen could help them carry it up with them.

That inheritance was left behind by that man, who was also the master of this patriarch.

From the words of this patriarch, he gained a detailed understanding of the scene he had previously witnessed.

The founder of the Starfall Palace was that man's disciple, but he did not inherit the man's true legacy. Everything he learned was a technique created by the man after the Yan Emperor Dynasty...

To be precise, it's an improved technique!
The man's inheritance, a technique that allows one to contend with a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert with physical strength alone, remains at the bottom of this deep pit.

The founder of Starfall Palace left a message for his descendants, informing them that a cultivation technique was hidden in this deep pit. He hoped that the descendants of the sect would have the motivation to work hard and strive to enter the depths of the pit.

"I also have my own selfish motives. I hoped that my master's teachings would be comprehended by the disciples of my sect. But now it seems that I was too attached to this. Fate has decreed that the disciples of my Starfall Heavenly Palace do not have this blessing. When you leave, I hope you will pass this technique on to my sect."

The founder of Starfall Palace seemed to have seen through Lin Chen's doubts and pointed out his selfish motives for making such a plan.

He told his disciples that he had left behind a powerful cultivation technique in this deep pit, and that future disciples would try every means to improve their physical strength in order to come here and obtain the technique.
Yet, despite the passage of so many years, no disciple has been able to set foot in this place; it can only be said that this is the will of Heaven.

The old man flicked his finger, and a jade slip shot out from his hand. Lin Chen quickly reached out and grabbed it.

"This junior will deliver this jade slip to your clan."

"Sorry to bother you, little friend."

The old man nodded with a smile: "Go, young friend. The legacy left by your master should see the light of day again."

Lin Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man, watched the old man's figure disappear in front of him, and looked down. After taking a deep breath, his body suddenly descended.

Four hundred zhang!
Four hundred and ten zhang!

Four hundred and twenty feet!
This time, Lin Chen did not feel any resistance during the descent. It wasn't that his physical body was so strong that he could completely ignore it, but rather that the resistance within the energy had disappeared.

Five hundred feet!
Six hundred zhang!
Lin Chen felt the whistling sound of his descent, his eyes fixed on the waves of yellow light surging upwards. Each time these lights passed through him, Lin Chen's body trembled, as if he had ingested some kind of powerful tonic.

After dozens of repetitions, Lin Chen's surroundings, including the sky above, were completely dark, and he finally reached the bottom of the deep pit.

"This is?"

Landing on the ground, Lin Chen stared at the colossal object before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Based on what he had seen before, he already had a good idea of ​​what the extraterrestrial meteorite in the Starfall Palace looked like: a strange, giant rock covered with runes.

However, what he was facing at that moment did not resemble a meteorite at all, but rather a giant, beating heart.

With each contraction and pulsation, a layer of yellow light shot out and rose upwards, and the dense runes on its body resembled the blood vessels on a heart.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, not immediately approaching the pulsating meteorite, which was tens of feet tall.

This meteorite gave him a very peculiar feeling, as if it were nurturing life.

Just as Lin Chen was examining the strange, pulsating "giant rock," a cold voice rang out: "Conditions met, activate inheritance!"

The boulder, which had been pulsating at a regular frequency, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling yellow light, which instantly filled Lin Chen's eyes and enveloped his entire body.

"Although it is somewhat lacking, it is fortunate that there is a Yang Fire Dao Seed, which is barely enough to qualify... Well, if we wait any longer, the inheritance will dissipate... I will pass it on to you today."

The moment Lin Chen was enveloped in the yellow light, he felt his entire body being engulfed by a terrifying heat, even more intense than the temperature of the innate fire. Under this terrifying heat, his blood and qi, including his innate power and even the innate fire, were evaporating at an alarming rate.

The same applies to the divine soul star chart within the dantian; it's like a spider web suddenly subjected to high temperatures, causing it to continuously contract...

Lin Chen's consciousness gradually became blurred. He even had a feeling that he might be burned into a dried-up corpse by this terrifying heat...

At the moment Lin Chen lost consciousness, his body, drawn by the yellow light, slowly floated toward the boulder, while the runes on the boulder flickered wildly, eventually revealing a crack.

call out!
Guided by the yellow light, Lin Chen's figure disappeared into the crack in the boulder. The next moment, the crack vanished, and everything returned to normal.

Inside the boulder.

Lin Chen floated silently in the air. At this moment, countless yellow tentacles, like blood vessels, were wrapped around every part of his body. The blood in his body kept flowing into these yellow tentacles until his entire body was completely withered.

His entire body was drained, leaving him a desiccated corpse. When Lin Chen's vital energy was completely exhausted, and even his heart stopped beating, the blood-sucking tentacles finally left his body. As the tentacles departed, a yellow mist spread from all around, enveloping Lin Chen's body. This mist entered his muscles, bones, blood vessels, and even his internal organs through his pores.

Bang bang bang!
The deep blue Azure Heart within Lin Chen's body began to beat again. Along with the heartbeat, the yellow mist that had entered his body slowly condensed, eventually settling in his blood vessels and transforming into pale golden blood that began to flow throughout his body.

This was a complete physical transformation, far surpassing any of Lin Chen's previous physical breakthroughs.

……

……

Above the deep pit.

Liang Fu and other high-ranking members of the Starfall Palace did not leave; instead, more and more appeared. In the end, apart from the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Manifestations Realm who did not appear, even the Sect Master Helian Chunfeng showed up.

"It's the seventh day!"

"Could it be that Lin Chen is cultivating the inherited techniques left by our sect's ancestor down there?"

An elder spoke softly, his tone tinged with displeasure: "This is our sect's cultivation technique."

Upon hearing this, Teng Wangshan's expression turned cold: "Regardless of whether Lin Chen is truly cultivating the technique left behind by your sect's founder, even if he is, doesn't Lin Chen have the qualifications? Don't forget that in the transaction between your sect and Canglan Sect, there was no requirement for Lin Chen to bring back the technique for your sect. Without Lin Chen, this technique would never see the light of day."

Teng Wangshan didn't care about the reputation of the high-ranking members of Xingyun Tiangong at all. He had been indifferent to Lin Chen before, but now that Lin Chen had broken through to four hundred feet, he felt that Lin Chen should no longer cultivate the techniques left by their sect's founder.

“Even without Lin Chen, there are disciples of my Starfall Heavenly Palace who can do it.”

"Elder Qi, there's no need to say more." Hao Lianchunfeng, the sect leader of Starfall Palace, waved his hand: "Lin Chen brought back the ancestral master's cultivation technique for our sect, which is a great favor to our sect. If Lin Chen can cultivate this technique, it will be a fortunate thing."

"Sect Leader Haolian is indeed reasonable."

Teng Wangshan then gave up. Without Lin Chen's trip down there, where would they have found the Starfall Palace?
As for later generations of disciples...

To put it bluntly, given the Starfall Palace's continuously declining strength, it's hard to say whether it can even survive until then.

It is difficult for a sect to prosper continuously, but once it falls into decline, it is very difficult to stop the downward trend.

The decline of a sect means a reduction in martial arts resources, and a reduction in martial arts resources means it is difficult to recruit truly top-notch disciples. Without the addition of these talented disciples, the strength of the high-level experts will only decline with each generation.

This is a vicious cycle and the root cause of the dissipation of super sects.

The Yan Dynasty included many super sects from the previous dynasty. A very small number of them were destroyed. Most of the super sects that disappeared in the long river of history declined slowly due to the decline of their sect strength, falling from super sects to first-class sects... until they were finally swallowed up by other forces.

As everyone waited above the deep pit, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Upon seeing the old man, Hao Lianchunfeng and the other elders quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Supreme Elder."

Teng Wangshan's pupils also contracted, and he clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Senior Zheng."

This old man was none other than Zheng Tianxing, the only expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm in the Starfall Heavenly Palace.

"Everyone, leave."

Zheng Tianxing waved his hand lightly. Hao Lianchunfeng and the others were taken aback, but still obeyed the order: "Yes!"

"Elder Teng, you may also step down. Lin Chen is about to emerge, and his case involves the secrets of my Starfall Heavenly Palace, which I need to inquire about. However, Elder Teng, rest assured, Lin Chen has done a great service to my Starfall Heavenly Palace, and I will not make things difficult for him."

Teng Wangshan was indeed somewhat hesitant, but after hearing what this person said, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Everyone left the pit. As for the disciples of the Starfall Palace, they had already been forbidden from entering the area when Lin Chen descended to a height of four hundred feet.

When Zheng Tianxing was the only one left in the deep pit, a terrifying energy suddenly shot up from the bottom of the pit. The rocks that the Starfall Palace warriors had smashed out around the pit to use as footholds, including the pilgrimage platform, were instantly reduced to dust and vanished without a trace under the impact of this energy.

After the terrifying energy subsided, a golden light shot out from below towards the top of the pit. Zheng Tianxing narrowed his old eyes slightly, raised his right hand, and six different colored flags shot out from his sleeve. These six flags spun in the air, and with each rotation, a light screen was released, and the six different colored lights enveloped the entire pit.

Hao Lianchunfeng, Teng Wangshan, and the others, who had already retreated thousands of feet away from the deep pit, were all shocked when they saw this scene.

Six-Color Seal!

This is the strongest formation in the Yan Dynasty to prevent others from spying on it with their divine senses.

What exactly did the Supreme Elder and Lin Chen want to discuss that required such caution?
