The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1068 - 1066: Holy Heart Spirit Pool!

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1066: Holy Heart Spirit Pool!

Lin Bai harbored a slight yearning for the "Holy Heart Spirit Pool."

Kang Xiao said, "However, your current cultivation is too low; with the strength of the Seventh Level of Earth Elixir Realm, it might be difficult to become a Spiritual Child. But if you can endure for a year, by this time next year, with the strength of Great Perfection of Earth Elixir Realm, you might be able to compete for the position of a Spiritual Child!"

"Wait until next year?" Lin Bai, having heard Kang Xiao’s words, showed a touch of emotion on his face.

"I can’t wait that long."

Lin Bai muttered to himself.

Immediately afterward, Lin Bai said to Kang Xiao with a smile, "Disciple understands."

"By the way, Peak Master Kang Xiao, there is another matter I would like to report to you," Lin Bai suddenly remembered something and hastily said to Kang Xiao with clasped fists.

"Speak," Kang Xiao nodded.

"I wonder if Peak Master Kang Xiao knows a disciple named Luo Haiyang?" Lin Bai said indifferently.

Kang Yuhai, who was standing nearby, heard the name Luo Haiyang and immediately shuddered, his gaze turning dark as he looked at Lin Bai, revealing a hint of malice in his eyes.

"Luo Haiyang..." Kang Xiao, upon hearing the name, did not recognize it, but he distinctly felt the murderous intent emanating from Kang Yuhai when Lin Bai mentioned the name.

Kang Xiao glanced at Kang Yuhai and raised his hand to say to Lin Bai, "Friend Lin Bai, I do not know this Luo Haiyang."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "In that case, if Peak Master Kang Xiao does not know him, let it be."

"Peak Master Kang Xiao, please go and administer the Heaven Repairing Pill to Senior Brother Kang Yiyang. I will take my leave now."

Lin Bai gave a faint smile.

"Alright."

"Shiyun, see Lin Bai out."

Kang Xiao nodded his head.

"Yes, father," Kang Shiyun said with a bright smile, escorting Lin Bai out of the Kang Family’s estate.

"Uncle Kang, I would also like to take my leave now," Kang Yuhai, upon seeing Lin Bai depart, immediately said with a smile.

"Hmm," Kang Xiao nodded.

Lin Bai, Kang Yuhai, Kang Shiyun successively left the Great Hall.

Kang Xiao’s expression grew somber, and he called out, "Qiu Hao!"

Swoosh—

A shadow appeared in front of Kang Xiao.

Kang Xiao said, "Go check what relationship Luo Haiyang has with Kang Yuhai."

The shadow said, "Master, no need to investigate. Luo Haiyang is Kang Yuhai’s confidant, often handling various tasks for Kang Yuhai outside, running errands, commonly known as a lackey."

Kang Xiao said, "I understand now!"

"This Lin Bai was giving me a warning..."

Kang Xiao nodded his head.

...

Outside the Kang Family estate.

Kang Shiyun and Lin Bai walked out.

Kang Shiyun asked, "When you mentioned Luo Haiyang to my father just now, what did you really mean?"

"On my recent return to the Nine Courtyards to retrieve the Heaven Repairing Pill, I was accompanied by a Senior Brother Luo Haiyang. When he learned that the Heaven Repairing Pill could repair Senior Brother Kang Yiyang’s Dantian, he attacked me."

Lin Bai said indifferently.

"Before I was about to kill him, he told me that it was Kang Yuhai who had ordered him to do so," Lin Bai, having said the last word, remarked to Kang Shiyun.

"I see," Kang Shiyun heard this and fell silent for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on her face.

"That’s why I asked Peak Master Kang Xiao in the Great Hall whether he knew Luo Haiyang. I believe that even if Peak Master Kang Xiao did not know Luo Haiyang, mentioning him like that should prompt Peak Master Kang Xiao to investigate Luo Haiyang."

"Once he investigates, Peak Master Kang Xiao will understand all there is to know."

Lin Bai gave a faint smile.

Kang Shiyun smiled and said, "Lin Bai, thank you for helping our Kang family so much!"

Lin Bai laughed, "No need for thanks, it’s you who have helped me a lot!"

"So what are your plans now? You have already obtained the qualifications for the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm, are you planning to venture into it?" Kang Shiyun asked with a smile.

"I am not going anymore. If there were enough time, perhaps I would visit the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm, but now, with the Spiritual Child Battle three days away, I don’t plan to go to the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm," Lin Bai replied, shaking his head.

"I am going to participate in the Spiritual Child Battle!" Lin Bai stated firmly.

"You’re entering the Spiritual Child Battle?" Kang Shiyun exclaimed, "Are you mad? Although all warriors of the Earth Elixir Realm are eligible to participate, each year, the majority who become Spiritual Children are those with the Great Perfection of Earth Elixir Realm!"

"You are only at the Seventh Level of the Earth Elixir Realm; even if you participate, you can’t become a Spiritual Child!"

Lin Bai laughed, "How will I know if I don’t try?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "After the Spiritual Child Battle, I’ll venture into the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm."

Kang Shiyun nodded her head.

A trace of a smile appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes.

The choice was actually quite simple.

The Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm is always there, accessible to any warrior who qualifies.

But the Spiritual Child Battle happens only once a year; missing it, Lin Bai would have to wait another year!

Moreover,

if Lin Bai became a Spiritual Child, then he would qualify to cultivate at the Holy Heart Spirit Pool.

And after becoming a Spiritual Child, Lin Bai could continue to cultivate in the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm until reaching the Great Perfection of the Earth Elixir Realm and then break through to the Heavenly Elixir Realm at the Holy Heart Spirit Pool.

Even if Lin Bai didn’t become a Spiritual Child and lost the qualification to go to the Holy Heart Spirit Pool, he could still continue to cultivate in the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm.

It was merely a matter of sequence.

"Then I wish you good luck." Seeing that Lin Bai’s mind was made up, Kang Shiyun did not try to persuade him further, smiling as she spoke.

"Hmm," Lin Bai responded, bidding farewell to Kang Shiyun and returning to the Fifth Peak.

On the Fifth Peak, as he passed by Jian Ruohan’s residence, he noticed that Jian Ruohan was still not back.

"Ten days ago, Ruohan said he was going to the Heavenly Pearl Secret Realm, it seems he hasn’t returned yet," Lin Bai murmured to himself as he walked, "Ruohan probably won’t participate in this year’s Spiritual Child Battle, I suppose."

Lin Bai smiled lightly and returned to his residence, where he sat down cross-legged.

"With my current cultivation, the Seventh Level of the Earth Elixir Realm, plus the Supreme Sword, Python Dragon Transformation, and Nine Rotations Sword Steps, I am fully capable of slaying a warrior of the Ninth Level of Earth Elixir Realm."

"So I should be able to make it into the top ten of this year’s Spiritual Child Battle!"

"To become a Spiritual Child, I just need to watch out for those few top-notch experts."

"With my current strength, becoming a Spiritual Child... won’t be difficult!"

Lin Bai closed his eyes and began to regulate his body in his residence, preparing comprehensively for the Spiritual Child Battle in three days.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai went through the Supreme Sword once more!

Three days later!

Several fleeting shadows moved quickly in front of Lin Bai’s residence.

A moment later, the shadows dissipated, revealing Lin Bai himself; he smiled and said, "I’ve cultivated the Seventh Rotate of the Nine Rotating Sword Steps to the Great Perfection Realm; the pace is quite good."

Lin Bai smiled satisfactorily!

Then he looked up at the sky; dawn had already begun to rise.

"Today should be the day of the Spiritual Child Battle."

"Let’s go, to the Second Peak! The Martial God Platform!"

In these three days, Lin Bai had already figured out the rules for participating in the Spiritual Child Battle.

The location for the Spiritual Child Battle was a vast square at the top of the Second Peak, known as the Martial God Platform!
