Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 252 Enlightenment! Breakthrough! Seven Kill Sword Realm!

"Shen Qingyu, so Aunt Shen's name is Shen Qingyu." Lin Chen murmured to himself.

"Is this their love?" Qian Renxue, within her sea of ​​consciousness, also wept. Wasn't this what she longed for?

Qian Renxue burst into tears within Lin Chen's spiritual sea. As an angel goddess, this was only the second time she had broken down like this, aside from the time her mother was killed ten thousand years ago.

Lin Chen stood by the window, gazing at the sky, lost in thought.

This is the love of the older generation: no glamorous appearance, no grand words, and no grand romantic scenes; everything is reflected in the little things of daily life.

Even through the letter, Lin Chen could feel Aunt Shen's deep affection.

Even as time passes, that deep affection has never faded in the slightest.

Uncle Chang walked in, looked at Lin Chen holding the letter, and said, "Let's go make preparations. As old friends, we should see them off on their final journey."

"Uncle Chang, did you already know?" Lin Chen asked.

Chang Bo didn't speak, but nodded.

Looking at the two elderly people lying on the bed, who had passed away, Lin Chen put down the letter in his hand and turned around to go with Uncle Chang to prepare for their funeral.

After a busy day, Lin Chen lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

On one hand, he was thinking about Old Mrs. Shen, and on the other hand, he missed Sister Lexuan.

This matter felt like a boulder lodged in Lin Chen's chest, and he needed to vent.

The next day, with the help of several villagers, the two were given a grand funeral.

Looking at the room, Lin Chen recalled the times when the four of them had chatted and laughed in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh.

Those who came were all dressed in white, and they were paying their respects to the two people.

Lin Chen helped Chang Bo place some offerings in front of the tomb, and the two of them lit three sticks of incense each.

"You go back first, I'll talk to Old Li here," Uncle Chang said to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded, but instead of going home, he went to his parents' graves and poured out his heart to them.

Lin Chen didn't return home until late at night.

Lying in bed, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Gazing at the starry sky above, Lin Chen's thoughts drifted towards the heavens, and he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Lin Chen got up, washed up, and then took a bouquet of flowers to pay respects to Old Mrs. Shen and Old Li.

Coincidentally, Uncle Chang was also there.

"Uncle Chang," Lin Chen called out.

Chang Bo turned around, his eyes seeming to have lost some of their luster, but when he saw Lin Chen, they brightened again, and he nodded to him.

Lin Chen walked to the grave, offered flowers, bowed twice, and then helped Uncle Chang walk away.

The two walked on...

"What is the purpose of life, you say?" Uncle Chang murmured.

Lin Chen didn't reply; what he wanted was simply a pipe dream to the people here.

"Isn't the point of life to live a good life? Humans are inherently greedy, angry, and deluded; in the end, it's all about living better. But why do we leave before the good days are over?"

The words "greed, anger, and ignorance?" had a great impact on Lin Chen, causing him to lose his composure for a moment.

Uncle Chang was still rambling on and on; it was clear that his old friend's passing had been a great blow to him.

But Lin Chen simply supported him quietly.

"Alright, I'm going back now. You'll have to take care of lunch yourself," Uncle Chang said to Lin Chen at the door of Uncle Chang's house.

Lin Chen nodded blankly, turned around and went home, but his mind was filled with what Chang Bo had just said about greed, anger, and ignorance. Greed, anger, and ignorance—it seemed like he had already met them before.

My thoughts drifted back to the time when I first entered the world...

Magistrate Li loved money so much that he even went so far as to arrest people on the street to work as laborers for money, which is greed; the Seventh Prince hunted a soul beast, but was intercepted and was so angry that he wanted to kill everyone to vent his anger, which is anger; Old Madam Shen was infatuated with Old Li, and was willing to commit suicide for him, which is infatuation.

These three individuals each brought their own personality to its extreme; they are the embodiment of greed, anger, and ignorance.

"So this is what is meant by greed, anger, and ignorance."

The Seven Kill Domain opened uncontrollably at this moment, and it was constantly changing along with Lin Chen's enlightenment.

This period of contemplation lasted for three days and three nights.

On the third night, a powerful surge of soul power flashed by, and Lin Chen's soul power instantly broke through the bottleneck of level 98, reaching level 98.

Looking back, Lin Chen's once jet-black hair had turned completely white, but his appearance remained unchanged, and he even seemed to have become more handsome, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

The original Seven Kill Domain has evolved into the Seven Kill Sword Realm. The biggest difference is that this new domain can now control the objects it strengthens or weakens at will.

"Not bad, he has the potential to become a god, and his future is promising." Sensing the changes in Lin Chen, Qian Renxue said in an appreciative tone.

Back then, even she herself hadn't experienced anything like Lin Chen's. Her improvement in strength relied more on the Divine Trial.

Of course, it's not to say that Qian Renxue hasn't had similar experiences, but in terms of both the number of times and the depth of her understanding, she is far inferior to Lin Chen. If he could achieve godhood, his strength might even surpass her own at his peak.

'Perhaps, he really can defeat Tang San,' Qian Renxue thought to herself.

"Sister Renxue, you flatter me," Lin Chen said modestly.

"I never expected that your breakthrough in cultivation would also make you more handsome!" Qian Renxue teased.

"No way, he's always been this handsome!"

"Pah! Shameless!"

Just as the two were playfully fighting, the Seven Kill Sword inside Lin Chen's body suddenly vibrated and even emitted a faint humming sound.

Lin Chen was taken aback and quickly summoned the Seven Kill Sword.

The Seven Kill Sword was summoned by Lin Chen, and it pulled Lin Chen into the Seven Kill Sword.

……

All Lin Chen felt was darkness, endless darkness.

Suddenly, a blue light appeared, illuminating what was in front of Lin Chen.

A giant sword stood prominently in front of him. Lin Chen was very familiar with the appearance of that giant sword. Wasn't it his old companion, the Seven Kill Sword, all these years ago?

However, unlike other swords, this Seven Kill Sword is engraved with nine strange patterns, making it appear even more mysterious.

"After all these years, someone has finally come here!" a voice rang out, filled with a sense of relief.

"Who!" Lin Chen said warily.

To be able to conceal one's own senses, one must be at least a powerhouse above the Limit Douluo level.

A figure appeared in front of Lin Chen, looking somewhat similar to him, also with a full head of white hair.

"Hello, inheritor of the Seven Kill Sword."

Looking at the handsome man before him, Lin Chen remained wary and asked, "Who are you? And where is this place?"

The young man in front of him smiled slightly and said, "This is the martial spirit space of the Seven Kill Sword. And I, to be precise, am your ancestor."
