Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 361 The Lin Clan Competition: Defeat is Not Terrible

For the next period of time, Xiao Li immersed himself in studying the aspects of talisman masters, and he was very interested in this new and exciting subject.

"The Qiankun Bag is used to store items. It is similar to the storage ring. The storage ring requires storage stones and other materials to be made. It is a work of ancient weapon refiners. Because of its strong functionality, it has never been eliminated."

This Qiankun bag requires Qiankun wood as its material, and then runes need to be inscribed by a second-level talisman master; it's quite interesting.

Xiao Li picked up a piece of Qiankun wood and inscribed spatial runes on it, thus completing a Qiankun bag of decent quality.

"It's alright, the quality is average. This talisman mastery isn't that difficult, but it's a bit challenging for beginners because it requires a high level of mental strength, which is also known as soul strength. Hmph, for a genius alchemist like me, learning the talisman mastery path is a piece of cake."

Xiao Li smiled slightly. He had already grasped the essence of the talisman master's path using only that beginner-level spiritual manual. With his Emperor-level soul, walking the talisman master's path was far too easy for him.

Xiao Li guessed that he was probably at the level of a Celestial Talisman Master, but much stronger than an ordinary Talisman Master. After all, the soul of an Emperor Realm cultivator was no joke. Xiao Li was confident that he could sweep across the entire Tianxuan Continent with his soul power alone.

During this time, he not only studied the way of the talisman master, but also took the time to travel around the Tianxuan Continent and discovered many interesting things, such as the fact that the Western Xuan Region seemed to have been controlled by the alien demon race.

Xiao Li's hands were itching, so he casually killed three alien demon generals, which angered the alien demon race to send out a king-level being. However, the alien demon king never noticed anything unusual.

In fact, Xiao Li was standing right in front of that Demon King, but the Demon King couldn't see him.

After that, Xiao Li ignored the dirty things and left them to Lin Dong to deal with. However, Xiao Li used some methods on the ordinary people in the Western Xuan Region so that they would be automatically teleported to the border of the Eastern Xuan Region if they encountered any danger to their lives.

This is something Xiao Li can do. As for destroying the demon realm of the alien demon race? Xiao Li doesn't want to do that for the time being, as this world has already been infiltrated by those alien demons to a great extent.

For example, the Yuan Sect, the top of the eight super sects in the Eastern Xuan Domain, appears glamorous on the surface, but in reality, it is full of demonic energy.

However, Xiao Li also discovered a very special person in the demonic energy. This person possessed an extremely special treasure, which should be the ancestral symbol generated by the rules of heaven and earth in this place.

Despite being completely covered in demonic energy, its soul remained pure, and Xiao Li easily scooped it out.

Then, using the Yin-Yang Emperor Flame, they burned away the demonic energy on his body. After inquiring, they learned that this person was named Zhou Tong, a disciple of the Dao Sect. He had killed an elder of the Yuan Sect and eventually stormed the Yuan Sect, where he was captured by the three leaders of the Yuan Sect.

Zhou Tong possessed the Ancestral Symbol of Space, which he obtained by chance back then.

Xiao Li then took Zhou Tong with him as a helper.

"Haa~"

Zi Yan slowly sat up in bed, stretched, and moved her body around: "Xiao Li, how long have I been asleep?"

"It's been almost two years."

Zi Yan sat down next to Xiao Li and noticed that her husband was fiddling with something in his hand.

"Huh? Xiao Li, what are you doing? And who's that person next to you?"

Zi Yan looked at Xiao Li with a puzzled expression. Xiao Li seemed to be crafting something, carving something on a large sword. Not far away stood a handsome young man with a slightly thin build.

"I am refining a spiritual treasure. This world can refine powerful spiritual treasures, similar to the weapon refiners who have lost their skills in our area."

This is an unlucky kid I encountered while traveling through the Tianxuan Continent; I rescued him.

Xiao Li pointed to Zhou Tong beside him and said, Zhou Tong just smiled awkwardly. After all, the person in front of him was much stronger than him. Zhou Tong could not guess who he was, but he was certain that he was not a member of the alien demon race.

"Oh? Let me see. His cultivation level is just so-so. But is there something on him? That thing feels a bit like a strange fire, but much stronger than an ordinary strange fire!"

Zi Yan looked at Zhou Tong, and with her soul approaching the Emperor Realm, she could naturally sense the difference in Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong was also taken aback. How could this sleeping beauty be so powerful? Looking at her, he sensed an aura from the ancient wilderness, which was truly terrifying.

"Alright, stop scaring her. She's only just been reborn and hasn't figured out what to do next yet." Xiao Li pulled Zi Yan down and made her sit quietly.

Zi Yan then lay on top of Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"What would you like to eat? Pills or rice?"

"I want to eat! I want sweet and sour pork ribs!"

Xiao Li stood up: "Okay, I'll make it for you!"

oo

A few days later, Lin Zhentian brought his men to Xiao Li's place: "Mr. Xiao, we are going to Lin City to participate in the Lin clan's competition."

Xiao Li ignored them and instead used his spiritual fire and Yin-Yang Emperor Flame to refine a rough sword-shaped prototype.

"Go ahead and do it yourselves, why are you telling me?"

Lin Zhentian was shocked. In the past two years, the Lin family has made great progress. Not only did Lin Zhentian break through to the Yuan Dan Realm, but Lin Xiao also broke through to the Yuan Dan Realm. Several other Lin family disciples broke through to the Tian Yuan Realm. They took over the entire Qingyang Town in one fell swoop and even gained some territory in Yan City.

If they hadn't been going to participate in the clan competition, the Lin family of Qingyang Town might have had to move to Yancheng.

Lin Zhentian was a little embarrassed, but he continued, "I just wanted to let you know that after the clan competition, we will be moving to Yan City, and we will need your help to go with us."

"Whatever, you guys go ahead, just make sure Lin Xiao doesn't embarrass me."

Lin Xiao clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I will certainly not disgrace my master!"

. . . . .

Half a month later, the Lin family from Qingyang Town returned. Unlike when they left, when they left full of joy, they returned with extremely gloomy faces.

Xiao Li happened to be returning from somewhere else and was teasing Lin Dong when he and Lin Dong discovered this scene: Lin Xiao was being dragged back.

"Um?

"father!"

Lin Dong panicked when he saw this and rushed to his father's side. His father, Lin Xiao, was in a terrible state, injured all over his body, and seriously so!

Xiao Li walked over slowly and looked around. He found that apart from Lin Xiao, all the Lin family disciples, including Lin Zhentian, were injured, including Lin Mang, whose arm was bandaged.

"You all got into a fight? And you're all injured? How did Lin Xiao get so badly hurt? Huh? He's got multiple different kinds of elemental energy on him."

Xiao Li came to Lin Xiao's side. At this time, Lin Xiao was in very bad condition. To say that he was half-crippled would be an understatement. All the meridians in his body were destroyed, and his Yuan Dan was covered with cracks.

"Tell me, what happened?" Xiao Li looked at Lin Zhentian indifferently.

Lin Zhentian's face was grim: "I've finally seen through the true colors of the main family! They only care about protecting their direct descendants, while turning a blind eye to the lives of us branch families!"

Get to the point!

Lincoln pulled his father, Lin Zhentian, aside and sighed, saying, "My third brother is going with us to participate in the Lin clan's competition. With his cultivation at the peak of the Lesser Yuan Dan realm, he is more than capable of winning an excellent ranking in the competition."

Who would have thought that in the first match, he would be facing a young man named Lin Langtian, who was only at the Heavenly Origin Realm and was defeated by his third brother in a single move. Then, for some unknown reason, Lin Langtian suddenly experienced a surge in his Yuan Power, reaching the Formation Realm!

Taking advantage of his third brother's unpreparedness, he launched a sneak attack on him. His father realized that Lin Langtian had used power that did not belong to him and wanted to seek justice. However, all the clan members sided with Lin Langtian!

Lin Langtian's faction directly sent men to besiege us. If it weren't for the things Mr. Xiao had prepared, we probably would have died on the way.

Lin Xiao struggled to his feet, knelt before Xiao Li, and kowtowed heavily: "Master, your disciple Lin Xiao has disgraced you."

Xiao Li looked at Lin Xiao: "You really embarrassed me. I'm just asking you, did you lose?"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth: "I didn't really lose! Lin Langtian used other powers, powers that don't belong to him, and he was already knocked out of the arena by me, yet he still came back to ambush me. His methods were despicable!"

Xiao Li said coldly, "Has your heart been defeated?"

Lin Xiao's expression froze for a moment, then his gaze hardened: "No! I'm not convinced! I don't believe it! That Lin Langtian won by despicable means, next time I will make him pay the price!"

Xiao Li nodded: "Very good! As long as your heart hasn't lost, it's nothing to lose just one game. Even if you lose countless games, as long as you beat him on the last one, it's fine!"

Failure isn't scary; what's scary is losing your spirit! As long as your spirit refuses to give up, anything is possible! You've really made a fool of yourselves. Now you know how despicable large families are? Lin Zhentian, do you still want to return to the clan?

Lin Zhentian shook his head: "No! Go back to that place and become as filthy as them? No need!"

"Master!"

A youthful yet resolute voice rang out; it was Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's gaze was resolute, tinged with a hint of fierceness, and there were still traces of tears at the corners of his eyes: "Grandmaster! Please teach me cultivation! I want to avenge my father! I want that despicable Lin Langtian to pay the price!"

Xiao Li ruffled Lin Dong's hair: "Alright! Then let me ask you, what is the most important thing in the path of cultivation?"

Lin Dong said firmly, "It's the heart! It's the heart that never gives up!"

"Alright! Since that's the case, I'll teach you, little Dongzi. Remember this: Lin Langtian's use of power that didn't belong to him was also an opportunity for him."

The path of cultivation is unfair. Your father, with his Yuan Dan realm cultivation, defeated Lin Langtian in one blow, forcing Lin Langtian to use his trump card. This can be seen as one kind of unfairness being exchanged for another.

The reason he acted so ruthlessly is because he fears your father, do you understand? He believes that this will crush your father's future. Watch closely!

A ball of white flame appeared in Xiao Li's hand, which then engulfed the entire Lin family, including Lin Xiao, Lin Zhentian, Lin Mang, and others. Their injuries healed at an extremely fast speed.

In just a few breaths, the seriously injured Lin Xiao recovered.

"Lin Dong, look, this is unfair! There is no fairness in the path of cultivation, only power! Only power can obtain or protect what you want."

If you lack power, the person you love will leave you in the future, or be taken away by someone else!

Lin Dong nodded: "Grandmaster, I understand!"

Xiao Li nodded, then looked at Lin Zhentian: "What are your plans next?"

Lin Zhentian: "We will first march into Yan City, and then gradually occupy it. Our lineage will be completely severed from the Lin clan! You are right, strength is everything."

"Once we reach the third realm of creation, no! Once we reach the Nirvana realm, the Lin clan will be nothing more than ants beneath our feet!"

Xiao Li nodded: "Good! Very spirited!"
