Eternal Swordmaster
Chapter 743 - 738

Chapter 743: 738

The entire hall space twisted continuously under pressure, and time also flowed slower. Seemingly thread-like, passing by both sides of the woman’s body without touching her.

"Dragon Queen, calm your anger!"

"City Lord, calm your anger!!"

Below in the great hall, a large group of oddly shaped commanders from Shadow City voiced their reassurances one after another.

"The King of Terra has perished! His tribe, due to their rash actions, was largely annihilated by the cultivators of Green Lake Mountain. Compared to them, we are still faring better."

A figure with an elephant head and human body, but with three elephant trunks on the face swinging slightly, reported loudly.

"How is the harvesting going on the side of the Abyss?"

The Dragon Queen asked, furious.

"Most of it has been harvested, only a little is left, at most a hundred years, it will be quick."

A skeleton clad in a black cloak stepped forward to report.

"What about the Underworld?"

A mass of black swirling vortex floated forward, the voice rumbling from its center.

"We’ve harvested half, but the resistance has been strengthening lately. Perhaps another purge is needed to suppress it perfectly."

An aged, sharp voice emanated from the black swirling vortex.

"These useless creatures!"

The Dragon Queen was instantly enraged once again.

"What about the supervisors! Are you all just idling away!!"

The Dragon Queen was livid.

"All hesitators, kill them all! Change those who are ineffective in overseeing!"

"But Dragon Queen... the Underworld is already in a state where the tail wags the dog; a violent response... I fear may lead to instability."

A white-haired elder stepped out and spoke somberly.

This man was just an ordinary old man, unremarkable anywhere else, but standing among a crowd of bizarre creatures, he appeared strikingly conspicuous.

"Do you mean that beast dares to resist?"

The Dragon Queen said sharply.

She was an embodiment of fury, and now her aura pulsed and distorted even more intensely.

"I am the Yi Shen Dragon Queen, whoever does not submit, kill! Prepare fully for battle against Green Lake Mountain!"

With a bang.

A ball of black smoke suddenly exploded in the Dragon Queen’s hand. Faintly, the cries of countless ghosts and deities could be heard.

"Yes!"

A large group of commanding monsters promptly responded.

********************

Hiss!

Sword light flickered, thrusting straight out.

Lin Xin slowly turned the Longsword, seemingly like any ordinary person without any fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, just purely practicing swordsmanship.

His movements were neither fast nor slow, yet they carried an air of casual profundity.

In the small garden, a few disciples from the Mortal Realm watched silently.

After a while, a set of Supreme Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword techniques was completed, and it had already been an hour later.

Lin Xin slowly sheathed his sword, concentrating deeply.

"Are you ready?"

He asked casually, handing the Longsword to Wang Kongyan next to him.

"Master, we are ready," she responded.

"Beyond the Fifth Rank, what is needed is prolonged accumulation and insight.

Regarding insight, I am not worried about you, my concern is with accumulation."

Lin Xin was already planning to travel to a new minor world, but before leaving, he also wanted to arrange everything concerning his disciples.

"Master, rest assured, with you guiding us in the right direction, we will not let you down," Songyun said earnestly.

Lu Li also nodded from one side.

These ten or so Human Immortal disciples, including the over two hundred who had not been present, had also gained momentum, constantly introducing various Magic Artifacts; although their cultivation might be weaker compared to the cultivators in the Human World, with Lin Xin’s attribute enhancements, they would not be much worse.

But this was also the limit Lin Xin could bear.

No matter how many Human Immortals there were, he felt his Soul might not endure anymore.

Over two hundred Human Immortals, that was the limit, otherwise not only would the enhancement of attribute points be untransferable, but his own Soul was also at risk of rupture.

If nothing unexpected occurred, all disciples from now on could only count on eventually becoming Human Immortals of the Fifth Rank in their cultivation status.

In recent years, he had also successively made his disciples "ascend to the Mortal Realm," to continue their arduous cultivation and had taught them the Cultivation Decision.

Not long ago, Lin Xin had asked his Master, Long Snake, to modify and deduce the simplified version of the subsequent Cultivation Techniques of Green Yuan Decision.

And they were successful.

At last, that was a major problem solved.

He took the towel handed to him by Flower Demon, the Maid, and wiped the nonexistent sweat.

Lin Xin had Daoist Blood Dragon bring up a plate, which held several dark purple Jade Talismans.

"Each of you take one; these are the subsequent Cultivation Decisions," he explained with a smile.

Immediately, all disciples’ eyes lit up.

In the Mortal Realm, although they had indeed progressed quickly in strength and their cultivation had become more robust, the lack of subsequent Cultivation Techniques had indeed made them anxious.

Now, seeing the Jade Talismans, someone as spiritually sensitive as Yao Yuanhui had already sensed something.

Each picked a Jade Talisman from the plate and examined it.

Upon examination, they all simultaneously revealed expressions of joy.

"Thank you, Master!"

The disciples all bowed to Lin Xin together.

"I shall leave on a journey soon, and you may freely choose to enter or exit the world portal. You need not wait for my return," Lin Xin contemplated before adding.

"Do not act on your own until your Cultivation Decisions are purified and modified."

"Yes!!"

The eighteen disciples were all elite, constituting the foundation of his future as an Earth Immortal and the embryonic form of his strength.

Leaving the small garden, Lin Xin headed straight for the mysterious door of the secret chamber.

He closed the great door of the chamber, activated the formation, and sealed off all surrounding senses.

He quickly stabilized his mind and reached out to touch the door frame, channeling True Yuan into it.

The crystal-powder-like Great Purity True Yuan had only flowed in a little before it completely stopped.

"Ah~~~"

A golden lone eye above the door frame suddenly let out an aged sigh.

Inside the door, silver spirals slowly appeared, and from the center of the vortex, a soft, invisible halo radiated.

Yet, there was still no movement.

Lin Xin, however, patiently waited.

About half an hour later,

a voice full of pain and despair came from the other side of the mystifying door.

"I want revenge... Revenge!!!"

"Revenge?"

Lin Xin’s mind stirred. He slowly took out the Chi’ra mask.

"I was treacherously attacked... No matter who you are, if you can help me kill that person... kill him... my soul, my cultivation, everything I own, you can have it all!!!"

The bone-deep hatred in that voice also slightly rippled Lin Xin’s heart.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke out.

"Then, let’s exchange a drop of your blood..."

He didn’t need anything else, just a successful pinpointing.

The Chi’ra mask would use a great amount of fused core at its heart to directly transport him there.

This trip to the new world could allow him to find a new boundary stone, the world’s origin, and control the new world, which definitely would push his cultivation to a new level of Earth Immortal.

At least, after absorbing a world’s origin, reaching the Second Layer’s Origin Earth Realm would be within easy reach.

His Honored Master, even at such a level as a Heavenly Immortal seed, had almost been successfully assassinated, not to mention the stronger forces behind Shadow City.

Now, he had the strength of a sect to rely on, but ultimately, one has to rely on oneself.

If he wanted to resolve the karmic retribution of the Red Leaf Sword Master in the Ghost Mansion, after reading that booklet, Lin Xin already had a plan in his mind.

The Ghost Mansion was a territory under the Deputy City Lord of Shadow City, mostly managed by one of the Yin Yang emissaries, the Yi Bo Dragon Queen.

Under Yi Bo Dragon Queen, there were six king pillars, each king pillar itself a formidable opponent at the Heavenly Venerable Level.

Among them, guarding the Ghost Mansion was one of the strongest king pillars.

By now, Lin Xin could see hope.

Ending the karmic ties, he finally also had a clear path.

Also, the hidden peril within his body related to the Ghost Mansion had to be eliminated.

A series of actions, if he wanted to take revenge and rescue Red Leaf and others, the root of it all was strength.

And with a great calamity approaching, to seek good fortune amid misfortune, the root was also strength.

There was a palpable sense of urgency within him urging on Lin Xin, who didn’t think further but decided to give his all in searching for a new small world, making the most out of the Chi’ra mask’s advantage to enhance himself.

**********************

Green Lake Mountain’s Void Spirit Tower defense line.

Across the entire Mortal Realm’s Void Spirit defense line, in the dark void, deeper, darker fissures slowly opened.

Large groups of huge creatures like river clams flew out, each lid opening to reveal a thin, terrifying figure seated inside.

Countless Void Spirits converged from all directions, ready to launch a new round of fierce attacks.

Rend!

Suddenly, right in the midst of the Void Spirit army, the largest golden fissure split open.

From the crack, a pair of faint golden giant hands slowly extended, grasping both sides of the void, and pushed forward.

A gigantic figure, tens of thousands of meters tall, slowly emerged from the fissure.

This figure had a crocodile head and a human body, its body was covered in dense black insects, and a circle of ancient bronze metal rings floated behind his head.

The rings, carved with various Void Spirit patterns, slowly rotated with the subtle energy flow of the void.

"Kill...kill..."

Behind the crocodile-headed figure, an even more colossal shadow slowly appeared.

It was a terrifying figure riding a massive warhorse, almost spanning half the height of the void just by standing.

The shadow held a huge, blade-like weapon in his hands.

His eyes, like two burning tufts of black smoke, stared at a certain area behind the Void Spirit Tower.

Around him, various differently-sized small planes were being squeezed and pushed aside.

Like tiny bubbles.

"Dao!"

"Lin!!"

"Holy!!!"

Behind the Void Spirit Tower, rows and lines of Green Lake Mountain cultivators appeared, teleporting from a white halo, and shouted in unison.

After three heavy, resounding chants,

four tall Taoists, each holding magic artifacts and surrounded by auspicious clouds, also emerged behind the multitude of Green Lake Mountain cultivators.

Each of their backs was also turning several metal rings, each ring engraved with different mystical reliefs.

"The four Taoist Ancestors have appeared!!"

The cultivator soldiers of Green Lake Mountain were all greatly encouraged.

The true cultivation of Taoism’s Green Great Purity Light spread from the entire Void Spirit defense line, reaching out toward the opposing army of Void Spirits.

But on the Void Spirits’ side, spreading like burning smoke, they connected all the Void Spirits into a massive lion with a hundred heads.

Roaring towards the defense line.

And all the Great Purity Light also merged, transforming into a furious green giant holding a ribbon, who suddenly reached out to grab the hundred-headed lion.

Bang!!

After a faint tremendous vibration, the giant and the hundred-headed lion crashed into each other.

The armies collided fiercely.
