"Don't worry, Uncle Ning, I understand." Tianlin nodded. He understood Ning Fengzhi's concerns because Tianlin's idea was a betrayal not only to the Heaven Dou Empire but also to the entire noble class and the Soul Master class. It absolutely could not be revealed.
Qian Renxue wanted to petition on behalf of the people to collect faith for cultivation, while Tianlin simply wanted to do so.
After adventuring across the continent with Chen Xin and witnessing all kinds of evil, Tian Lin, who was originally unambitious, gradually found some goals that he wanted to strive for.
Perhaps it was the Holy Spirit Pearl that influenced him. Although the Nuwa in the Legend of Sword and Fairy world was not as powerful as the Nuwa in the prehistoric world, her kindness far surpassed that of the prehistoric Nuwa.
All the descendants of Nuwa in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series sacrificed themselves for the sake of all living beings. Even though Zixuan had some selfish thoughts along the way, she never forgot her original intention.
To be honest, Tianlin will never reach their level of putting the world's people above his family.
Therefore, he could only do his best to bring a slightly better future to Douluo Continent than to Tangjia Continent, so as not to disappoint the favor of the Holy Spirit Pearl.
Even the supreme power of goodness within the Holy Spirit Pearl could only slightly influence his personality, but could not shake his true nature. He would hunt spirit beasts for strength and fight against everything for his family; he could never match even a fraction of the kindness of the Nuwa clan. In his heart, the Spirit Hall could be destroyed, the continent could be divided, but his family could not suffer the slightest loss.
Chapter 219 Chen Xin's New Skill Ning Fengzhi Breakthrough
Just as Ning Fengzhi was communicating with Tianlin, Qian Renxue in the palace also received a message, which was personally delivered by Ghost Leopard Douluo, one of the nine elders.
The document contained only one sentence: Operation Soul Hunting must begin ahead of schedule, and within three years, we must seize control of the Heavenly Battle.
Qian Renxue burned the note; she had agreed. Like Ghost Leopard Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, and Serpent Spear Douluo, among the nine elders, Ghost Leopard Douluo was actually loyal to the Hall of Offerings. Bibi Dong sent him to deliver the message to convey that this order had been approved by his grandfather.
Qian Daoliu is the most important person to Qian Renxue. She will listen to his words, just as Tianlin cares about her, but cares even more about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Qian Renxue cares about Tianlin, but loves her grandfather even more and values her own ambitions even more.
However, the two had one thing in common: Qian Renxue agreed to bring the plan forward on the condition that Tianlin's life be spared. She would try her best to persuade Tianlin to surrender to the Spirit Hall, and if Tianlin was really stubborn, she would kill him.
Although Tianlin and Qianrenxue are forced to fight each other due to their different stances, the bond between them will not completely disappear.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin had finished absorbing the soul bone and walked out. With his profound cultivation of level ninety-eight, even a ten-thousand-year soul bone was quite easy for him to absorb. He did not approach Tian Lin and Ning Fengzhi, nor did he deliberately use his profound cultivation to eavesdrop on their conversation. He just watched from a distance.
Chen Xin is still at level 98. The barrier between level 98 and 99 is no longer something that a 100,000-year-old soul bone can overcome. At most, this soul bone can only push his level to the peak of level 98.
To reach level 99, what's even more important is enlightenment.
However, Chen Xin understood very well that if there was no opportunity that would allow him to undergo a qualitative change, his potential had probably already reached its limit. With his current cultivation level and the Seven Kill Sword Dao, even if, as Tian Lin said, Golden Crocodile Douluo made a move, he would be able to fight against him.
After all, Golden Crocodile Douluo had been hiding in the Hall of Worship for decades without fighting, and even with his profound cultivation, he had lost his former vigor.
But Chen Xin knew that there was an even more terrifying Grand Elder in the Hall of Offerings, who had easily killed his father and was one of the strongest people in the world.
Defeating the Golden Crocodile is not difficult, but defeating him is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"If it weren't for the sword comprehension book that Xiaotian gave me, even I am far from being a match for you, Qian Daoliu. But now, if you dare to come, I will make sure you never return." Chen Xin looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
What Tianlin gave to Chenxin was Xie Cangxing's insights into swordsmanship. In addition to his sword techniques, it also included a method he used to increase his internal energy by channeling his qi and blood.
When Tianlin gave it to Chenxin, he had actually deleted the last layer of this technique, because the name of that last layer was "Disintegration of the Body"!
Xie Cangxing once used this move to unleash the power of his entire body, gaining immense strength in a short period of time. He severely injured Mo Yi, the regent of the Yaksha clan in the Demon Realm, with a single blow. However, the price he paid for using this move was the separation of his body and soul, resulting in his death.
Tianlin naturally didn't want Chenxin to use this move, so he simply didn't give it to him. Unfortunately, he underestimated the depth of Chenxin's understanding of the way of the sword.
When Chen Xin was cultivating the first few levels of the technique, he felt as if he had not exhausted his strength, so he deduced it on his own and managed to deduce the last level again.
He named it "Jade and Stone Burn Together," confident that even if he couldn't defeat Qian Daoliu, he could at least perish together with him.
"Master, have you absorbed the soul bone?" At this moment, Tianlin and Ning Fengzhi returned. Tianlin smiled and said, "This is a 100,000-year-old soul bone from a Behemoth. It has two soul bone skills, so they must be very powerful."
Seeing Tianlin's smile, Chenxin became even more determined. He could die, but his disciple had a brighter and more distant future. As a master, he should protect and guide his disciple and help him grow.
Chen Xin rarely showed a smile and said, "Yes, it's a very powerful soul bone skill. One is berserk mode, a talent skill of the Behemoth race. It causes a temporary loss of some rationality, but all attributes increase dramatically. The other is its innate domain, the Behemoth Domain. This domain is filled with endless violent energy, which can affect the mind of the enemy and even drive the opponent into madness, attacking indiscriminately."
"As expected of a soul bone from an ancient, exotic Behemoth! With this, Uncle Jian, you now possess two domains. Congratulations on your great advancement in strength, Uncle Jian!" Ning Fengzhi was also overjoyed. The stronger Chen Xin became, the greater their chances of victory in the future.
In the following period, in order to deal with the crisis that Tianlin mentioned, Ning Fengzhi and the four titled Douluo began a period of intensive training.
They didn't tell Ning Rongrong about this; they knew that the heavy burden was enough for the elders to bear first.
Ning Fengzhi even planned that when that day came, he would send all the younger generation of children, including Tianlin, out, so that even if they were defeated, they could at least leave a seed for the sect.
However, as soon as he brought it up, Tianlin sternly refused. Rongrong could leave, but he had to stay. He had worked so hard to cultivate for so long, all for the sake of doing his part on the day of the sect's greatest crisis.
Ning Fengzhi could only smile wryly and let it be. Their Xiao Tian had grown up, and his current strength far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Saints. In other sects, he would be considered a high-level combatant.
Therefore, as Chen Xin said, he should decide for himself which path to take in the future.
However, Ning Fengzhi is similar to Chen Xin in some ways. Despite their differences, they care more than anyone else when it comes to matters of the heart. In order to ensure that he can protect Tianlin in the future, Ning Fengzhi embarked on an even more arduous cultivation journey.
He entrusted most of the affairs within the sect to Yin Yang and went into seclusion for six whole months without seeing anyone.
Since returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after the competition, Ning Fengzhi has been diligently cultivating for a long time, following Tian Lin's advice, and has been steadily progressing towards level ninety.
Pressure can easily cause a person to completely break down if they can't handle it, but once they can, it becomes the best catalyst for growth.
Ning Fengzhi was resilient. The disaster of annihilation that Tianlin mentioned did not make him despair, but instead became a driving force to become stronger.
"Brother Jian, I miss Dad so much. I haven't seen him for half a year," Ning Rongrong complained, pulling on Tianlin's arm.
Although she was closer to Tianlin and her grandfathers than to Ning Fengzhi, her affection for Ning Fengzhi was no less than that for anyone else.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ning must be going through a critical period. Once he comes out of seclusion, you'll see a completely different father." Tianlin gently stroked Ning Rongrong's long hair, comforting her tenderly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a nine-colored beam of light shot straight into the sky from the secret chamber of the Seven Treasures Hall, its momentum even greater than when Yin Yang broke through to the Title Douluo level.
Chapter 220 Preparing to Hunt the Blue Silver King
"Uncle Ning succeeded!" Tianlin excitedly grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand and walked towards the Seven Treasures Hall.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi slowly walked out of the main hall. Although he seemed to be in a good mood, Tianlin could sense that there was some killing intent on his face.
After all, he hadn't expected that his breakthrough to level 90 would be so spectacular that even hiding in the secret room was useless.
He doesn't want anyone to know about his advancement to Title Douluo, because only by catching the enemy off guard can he take them by surprise.
Seeing Tian Lin, Ning Rongrong, and several Title Douluos approaching, Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "Uncle Ying, you should have already found out who the 'insects' in the sect are, right?"
"Yes, Sect Master, both the Spirit Hall and the two great empires have them. The Spirit Hall has one Soul Emperor, two Soul Kings, and several Soul Venerables, while the two great empires have mostly Great Soul Masters to Soul Venerables, with a number of 2 to 3 people."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and ordered, "Very good. The insects from the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire, kill them without mercy. As for the insects from the Heaven Dou Empire, Xiao Tian, use your Soul Reading Technique to modify their memories and make them spread false information. As for our own people, issue the order that no one is allowed to spread today's events without authorization."
Now that he knew the Spirit Hall was preparing to destroy his sect, Ning Fengzhi had no reason to be polite to them anymore. As for Xingluo, they were enemies to begin with, so there was nothing more to say.
However, it's not time for the Heavenly Dou Empire to completely break off relations yet.
Tianlin smiled slightly, "It should have been done a long time ago. I've been unhappy for a long time about so many bugs getting into the house."
"Rongrong, you stay here with Uncle Ning, I'll be back soon!"
Tianlin still didn't want Ning Rongrong to be too involved in the murder.
"Okay, Brother Jian, be careful." Ning Rongrong obediently walked to Ning Fengzhi's side. At this time, she couldn't cause them any trouble.
Tianlin took the list from Yin Yang. He recognized some of the people on it and they had a good relationship with him. They would greet him warmly every time they saw him, but unfortunately, they were all pretending.
Tianlin showed no mercy because of their past friendship, and within half an hour, several people had met their end under his sword.
Many disciples initially thought Tianlin had gone mad and was indiscriminately killing his fellow disciples. It wasn't until Tianlin produced the evidence collected by Yin Yang that they realized that even within the seemingly impenetrable sect, there were so many spies.
This made them realize that as the sect grew stronger, the outside forces paid more and more attention to it. It seemed that they would have to be more careful about what they said in the future. They should not say what they should not say, otherwise, if they leaked the sect's secrets, they would be guilty of a thousand deaths.
After completing the mission, Tianlin returned to the Seven Treasures Hall. At this time, several important figures from the sect gathered together to congratulate Ning Fengzhi. After all, he was the first Title Douluo of the support type in Douluo Continent in nearly a hundred years, and now he only needed one more soul ring.
"Xiao Tian, I've fulfilled my promise and successfully broken through to the title level in about a year. Now, you should explain to me what you mentioned about the 100,000-year-old soul beast," Ning Fengzhi said expectantly.
No prospective Title Douluo would be indifferent to a 100,000-year spirit ring, especially a top-tier martial soul like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Once a 100,000-year spirit ring is added, who knows what kind of abnormal auxiliary spirit skills will appear?
"Uncle Ning, before we talk about the 100,000-year-old soul beast, I have to tell you something about Grandpa Eagle. Don't be angry when you hear it."
Tianlin told Ning Fengzhi and the others everything about Yin Yang's first experience at Shrek Academy. Yin Yang couldn't tell them because of his Martial Soul Oath, but Tianlin didn't have that restriction.
After hearing Tianlin's account, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and the others were all furious. Chen Xin even stood up and said, "Xiao Tian, where is Tang Hao now? Since you specifically told us about this, you must know his whereabouts, right?"
Chen Xin was very different from the swordsmen in the martial arts world that Tian Lin knew in his previous life. His sword was not a ruthless sword, nor was it like some people who had nothing but their swords.
His heart held many people. Apart from Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, Tianlin, and Gu Rong, Yin Yang was definitely one of his best friends. However, his friend was threatened with his life by Tang Hao and forced to make a poisonous oath. At this moment, Chen Xin was furious and wanted to kill Tang Hao.
Tianlin nodded. "That's right, I know where he is, so this time, we're going to make him pay for what he's done."
“In that case, Xiao Tian, lead the way. Uncle Ying and Uncle Jian will come with me, while Uncle Gu and Uncle Dugu will stay behind to guard the sect.” Ning Fengzhi made the decision.
Although they and Tang Hao share a common enemy for the time being, that is not a reason for him to intimidate his family at will. Does Tang Hao think that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no one left?
Of the four, Chen Xin and Tian Lin can both fly on swords, Yin Yang possesses a flying beast-type martial soul, and Ning Fengzhi only needs to step on Chen Xin's sword.
The three streaks of light quickly flew towards the horizon.
At this moment, Tang Hao was leading Tang San in a rigorous training session of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique under a waterfall in a small valley. Tang San's physique was far inferior to that in the original story, so he used an iron hammer to practice the eighty-one strikes, which took him six months—twice as many as in the original story. Now, he was trying to train with a wooden hammer.
This is even more difficult. Even in the original story, it took Tang San eight to nine months to complete it. Now, it's simply impossible to finish it in less than a year.
His soul power, however, grew quite rapidly. Under the pressure of the waterfall, it increased by more than five levels in a year, and is now close to level forty-seven.
In fact, Tang San's current soul power growth rate is slightly faster than Tian Lin's. After all, Tian Lin is hampered by his extreme attributes, and his peak period is after level 70.
Levels 60 to 70 are the stages with the highest possible attribute values.
When the four were still some distance from Tang Hao, Chen Xin suddenly stopped and said, "I can sense Tang Hao; he's in the valley ahead."
With his current strength, coupled with his calculated strategy against Tang Hao, he can detect Tang Hao, but Tang Hao cannot detect him.
"Shall we go directly to Tang Hao to settle accounts?" Chen Xin's sword energy had already begun to rise. As long as Tian Lin and Ning Fengzhi agreed, his Seven Kill Sword could raze this entire mountain range to the ground in an instant.
Tianlin shook his head. "Master, we can put finding Tang Hao aside for now. He can't escape just by staying there. Why don't we go and get Uncle Ning's ninth spirit ring first?"
The Blue Silver Emperor's spirit rings were actually very suitable for Ning Fengzhi. His eighth spirit ring skill was the same type as Ning Rongrong's in the original work, Nine Treasures Divine Light Protection, which was taken from a Vajra Scaled Beast with invincible skills. Unfortunately, its age was only about 70,000 years, so its effect was not as good as Ning Rongrong's 100,000-year spirit ring. It could only withstand six attacks from a Title Douluo at the level of the ninth spirit skill without being destroyed, and it could not convert the opponent's attack into spirit power to nourish itself.
However, generally speaking, it's enough. It would allow a Title Douluo to use his ninth soul skill to attack Ning Fengzhi six times in a row. Just how useless would Chen Xin and the others be?
Ning Fengzhi can already protect himself, so his next soul skill should still be used to assist others.
What is the strongest point of the Blue Silver Emperor? Of course, it is its endless regenerative ability, which is like a wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring back to life with the spring breeze. Tianlin speculates that if Ning Fengzhi obtains the Blue Silver Emperor's 100,000-year soul ring, the soul skill he obtains will be very different from Ning Rongrong's ninth soul skill, but equally terrifying.
It will most likely lean towards the aspect of continuing the battle, but we'll only know the exact details after obtaining the soul ring.
Chapter 221 Tianlin's Transaction Request
To hunt down the Blue Silver King, you must first find it.
Although Tianlin didn't know the exact location of the nameless forest mentioned in the original work, he was certain of one thing: it must be not far from Tang Hao and Tang San at this moment. This would make it convenient for Tang San to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor after reaching level 50.
But it wouldn't be too close, because at the foot of the mountain where Tang Hao was training with Tang San, there was a small village. No village would be built next to a Soul Beast Forest; that would be like living too long.
This was within Tianlin's expectations. After all, Tang San was still developing and had such a large amount of training every day, so he couldn't possibly rely solely on wild game and fruits to fill his stomach. That village was where Tang Hao resupplyed.
Tianlin, Ning Fengzhi, and the others landed outside the village and found the village chief. The village chief's son was also a Soul Master with a Soul Power level of 29. Under the guidance of the village chief's son, they learned that if they went east from here for about 5 to 7 days, there would be a Soul Beast Forest. Although it was not as vast as the Sunset Forest and the Star Dou Great Forest, it was still much larger than the average Soul Hunting Forest. However, most of the creatures in the forest were plant-type Soul Beasts.
