Chapter 758: Chapter 753 Seal 3

The two spoke in whispers.

Zhao Wumian stood by, his eyes slightly closed, his spiritual sense spread out, vigilant for any threats that might appear around them.

Although in such a world, it was unlikely anything could pose a threat to them.

But it never hurts to be cautious.

Lin Xin sat in meditation, his body temperature quickly rising.

At this moment, his entire focus was on the strand of breath he had separated out.

Following that strand of breath, his consciousness slowly delved deeper.

The breath seemed like a colorless veil, within which lay many fine threads, woven into a net, stretched and then twisting, tumbling.

It became the strand of warm breath that had been pulled out.

Lin Xin’s consciousness ventured deeper, becoming ever more microscopic in observation.

He concentrated his spirit, looking at one of those fine threads.

The tiny silver-white viscous liquid inside flowed like blood vessels, entangled and intertwined on the thread.

Countless threads flowed with liquid, like a multitude of flexible glass tubes, constantly swirling and dancing around Lin Xin’s consciousness.

"My perception..."

It was the first time Lin Xin had used such intense concentration to perceive something and its microscopic world.

It had been a very long time since he had used his perception this way, and now even he hadn’t realized that he could see such fine detail.

Looking at the numerous thread-like vessels around him, his consciousness edged closer.

Suddenly, he heard a constant emission of invisible Taoist intent from the tubes.

Life... gestation... irrigation... warmth...

All sorts of Taoist intents related to reproduction and gestation emanated from them, extremely subtle, yet Lin Xin could still feel their exceptionally pure power.

But apart from these Taoist intents, he seemed to hear something mysterious and indistinct.

It just seemed too distant to fully discern.

He moved closer again, his consciousness almost touching the surface of the thread.

But just as his consciousness approached,

the silver liquid within the thread suddenly and slowly overflowed, pervading towards him.

Little by little, the liquid came into contact with his consciousness.

"This is...."

Lin Xin was suddenly startled.

That liquid instantly transformed into an energy immense as resentful demonic energy.

It thundered into his consciousness.

As if drawn by something.

In an instance, all the silver liquid in every thread surged out, rushing towards Lin Xin’s consciousness.

Before Lin Xin, his vision suddenly blurred.

Boom!!!

A loud noise in his ears.

Countless white lights flashed, and when he regained his senses, he was no longer inside the carriage.

"Where is this...?"

Lin Xin looked around him.

He was surrounded by a pale gray void, floating at a great altitude.

Below him, a massive white lotus slowly rotated.

The lotus had countless petals, each pierced with lots of white-golden threads.

All the threads were exactly the same as the ones he had seen before.

The entire lotus completely occupied his downward view, spreading from below his feet outwards.

Looking down from above, wherever his eyes reached, all he could see was the lotus.

The giant lotus was also rotating slowly, as if the whole earth was spinning.

The Spinning Lotus...

Without reason, a name he had once seen in the scriptures flashed across Lin Xin’s mind.

The Spinning Lotus, a legend said to represent the Taoist rules of the rotation of countless worlds, the embodiment of all rules.

What seeing the Spinning Lotus represented,

Lin Xin did not know.

But he felt as if something was crazily flowing into him, being absorbed by his body.

It was this frenzied absorption that seemingly spurred his spiritual perception to reach a pinnacle.

In such a unique state, he could see this enormously vast Spinning Lotus.

"This universe has many mysterious and unfathomable places... and the Spinning Lotus is one of them. I have read about it in ancient records, seen it mentioned by predecessors, but none said what use there was in seeing it."

He furrowed his brow, trying to descend closer to the Spinning Lotus.

Even the Heavenly Venerables in the scriptures often marveled at the vastness and magnificence of the Myriad Realms and Void.

There are too many unexplored places, mysteries, and wonders.

The Human Race, though powerful, is oppressed by the Void Demon Spirits and Heavenly Demon Army Masters, suffocating under their pressure.

How could they have the energy to explore further into the depths of the Void?

Looking deeply at the Spinning Lotus below, Lin Xin had a faint premonition that if he could truly touch this vast lotus, he might gain enormous unexpected benefits.

But the power that was slowly decelerating within his consciousness caused his vision to gradually blur.

The white lotus in front of him also began to slowly blur, disintegrate, and then transformed into white light, gradually fading away.

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

In the carriage, Lin Xin slowly opened his eyes. The Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads in his palm slowly rotated, a gentle warm current slowly emerging.

The warm current gradually transformed into attributes, stored into the Free Attribute Points. Although it was very slight and minimal, it gave a sense of continual endurance, roughly one point every hour.

At this moment, the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads faintly emitted a hint of golden color.

The original crimson color also deepened a lot. Inside that mass of flames, a golden symbol appeared, a vision that only emerged when the Spiritual Beads were fully operational.

Nine white flames emerged, beginning to orbit the Spiritual Beads in a floating dance.

The temperature inside the entire carriage climbed to a warm and pleasant level, yet not in the least bit scorching.

A few disciples all reacted, hurriedly disembarking from the carriage, halting the horses, and guarding the surroundings.

The carriage came to a stop in a deserted canyon, motionless.

Lin Xin looked at the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads in his palm.

"This is indeed an unexpected joy. It actually let me complete the offering of the Realm Artifact ahead of schedule," he remarked.

He recalled the operation of the lotus from before, which seemed to be merely an accident that allowed him a glimpse into a part of the world’s essence.

"Moreover, the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads seem somewhat different from the state when the Honored Master gave them to me..."

He observed the Spiritual Beads closely; although it was still nine white flames dancing around, previously they were merely white flames, but now they faintly carried a hint of grey. This gave a heavier and more profound sense of mystery.

Moreover, now just the pressure emitted by the flames alone made Lin Xin himself feel a sense of heart-pounding trepidation.

"No wonder it is a Realm Artifact... It was originally the top-notch Candle Earth Immortal held by the Honored Master. Now having absorbed that Corpse King qi, it must have indeed absorbed a part of this world’s essence."

Originally, Lin Xin had planned to absorb it himself, but unexpectedly, due to his cautiousness, he inadvertently fed it directly into the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads, allowing it to be enhanced.

"This is good too, if I were to enhance myself, it would at most increase some attributes, but the enhancement of the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads, the help to my current strength, is absolutely not small.

Next time, I can just absorb first and then pass the attributes to the Realm Artifact," he mused.

Having completed the offering ceremony, Lin Xin was also very curious; with the capabilities of the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads as a Realm Artifact, if he were to increase its attribute amplification, what level could it reach?

Sitting inside the carriage, Lin Xin was about to slowly enter Meditation, continuing to ponder the Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword technique.

Having cultivated the Supreme Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword for so long, he had still made no progress to date.

He also often visited the Mortal World to places filled with joyous emotions to sense feelings, but regrettably, although he had gathered quite a bit of the power of joy, no matter how he pondered, the Sword Technique remained unresponsive.

Should it be said that it’s truly one of Green Lake Mountain’s top Sword Techniques, indeed not something ordinary people can cultivate.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, a low cry from Zhao Wumian came from outside the carriage.

"Honored Master, the Ghost Realm was attacked!" he urgently said.

"What?"

Lin Xin immediately widened his eyes and pulled back the carriage curtain.

"The Ghost Realm was attacked? When did this happen?"

"Just now, a powerful entity invaded the Ghost Realm, I don’t know how they found it!"

Zhao Wumian, now responsible specifically for communicating with the Ghost Realm, had cultivated a magic treasure that could communicate between the two realms. No matter the distance, as long as danger was encountered there, and someone triggered a tremble, it could be felt here simultaneously. The device could also display short text messages.

"The message transmitted will have a half an hour delay; subtracting the time difference, we should hurry back now and we can still make it in time!" Zhao Wumian said with a grave expression.

"Quickly to Xianzhou!"

Lin Xin’s heart tensed, he quickly got out of the carriage and straightened his robe.

"Full speed!"

He looked solemnly at the other people. The masks from before had just been fetched on another trip and were now still in a solidification period. They could only go through the channel.

"Yes!"

The disciples thunderously responded.

A group of people suddenly arose on a white cloud from their feet, a large amount of Spirit Jade crushed, forming nature’s spiritual energy, instantly gathering a vast amount of fog, carrying all the people wrapped within it.

Then they shot into the sky, heading toward the distance****.

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

Ghost Realm.

A giant hand slowly pressed down, instantly breaking through dozens of Formations in the middle, turning them into countless Fragments.

But as the Formations shattered explosively, they also generated tremendous force, firmly holding the giant hand, preventing it from pressing down further.

Surrounding the white hand were massive amounts of blue Star Force, continuously condensing into blue bubbles, then bursting, releasing countless shocks.

Around the Star Force, layers of white blizzards furiously covered the arm, accumulating in patches of white frost, slowing down the hand’s movements.

From below, within the Formation, hundreds of beams of yellow light shot out densely like spikes, firmly resisting the downward movement of the hand.

Countless shadows moved back and forth, emitting black lights from all directions, smashing onto the giant hand’s surface.

They were the Soul Reapers making their final struggles.

But to no avail, all attacks were ignored by the giant hand, directly immune. Before even making close contact, they were completely disintegrated and dissipated by the distorted field of force.

The hundreds of Fifth Rank disciples stationed there formed arrays, one after another Lifebound Magic Treasure soaring into the air, forming a massive formation.

Further outside, a Formation composed of a large number of snow monsters, also of the Fifth Rank, gathered countless amounts of Earth Attribute Elemental Energy from the Ghost Realm, forming a spike-like cone directed at the giant beast.

From afar, Lin Xin watched the giant hand with cold eyes.

"Don’t rush... Don’t rush... The opponent just made a casual grab; this is only a projection, not the actual body coming here," he observed.
