The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 670 - 668: Ling Tianzi’s Departure!

Chapter 670: Chapter 668: Ling Tianzi’s Departure!

On the fourth day after these three pieces of news spread, the Royal Family of the Shenwu Kingdom sent emissaries with many healing pills as a gift to Lin Bai.

Obviously, Bai Huatian saw Lin Bai’s extraordinary potential and wanted to get closer.

Su Jiannan had no choice but to accept these gifts and sent them up to White Cloud Peak.

After ten days.

Lin Bai’s wounds were fully healed, and he opened his eyes in his room.

Although his injuries were healed, Lin Bai wasn’t feeling happy.

Because Lin Bai felt that he was already on the verge of crossing into the Human Elixir Realm!

He was about to step into the Human Elixir Realm.

Meanwhile, the True Qi in his Elixir Sea was becoming dense, as if it were about to coagulate into a Divine Elixir...

"I can’t continue practicing like this. If I go on, I’m afraid it won’t be long before I break through..."

"Haha, others breaking through into the Human Elixir Realm is an honor, but in my case, it’s so terrifying..."

"No, I must hurry to find defensive treasures!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath and got up from his room.

Having stayed indoors for ten days, Lin Bai left his room and headed straight towards White Cloud Peak without looking back.

As soon as Lin Bai left his room and was on his way to White Cloud Peak.

At the gate of the Spirit Sword Sect, a weary woman with a haggard face arrived, riding a horse. She looked at the gate of the Spirit Sword Sect, removed her sunhat, revealing her thrilled and joyful eyes.

"Spirit Sword Sect, I am back."

This woman was none other than Li Qingxuan, who had been away from the Spirit Sword Sect for a year.

From what Lin Bai heard from Li Jianxing, Li Qingxuan left the Spirit Sword Sect with the sole purpose of finding Jian Xuan.

She didn’t return for a year, so surely, her return now must be due to a major discovery...

Perhaps, she had found Jian Xuan’s whereabouts!

...

"Disciple requests to see Master."

At Ling Tianzi’s door, Lin Bai called out respectfully.

"Come in, Lin Bai!" Ling Tianzi said indifferently.

Lin Bai walked into the room to see Ling Tianzi sitting behind his desk reading, as he had been for ten thousand years, with Li Shanqing standing beside him.

Ling Tianzi smiled lightly, "Did you get the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm?"

Lin Bai nodded, "But Master, I still need three more to withstand the Giant God’s Intent and its nine attacks!"

"The most important thing is, I have already felt the barrier to the Human Elixir Realm, I am about to break through."

"Therefore, I came to ask Master, if you know where I could find valuable defensive treasures..."

As he said this, Lin Bai showed a touch of difficulty on his face.

Originally, Lin Bai wasn’t someone who liked to ask for help, whether from Ling Tianzi or his father Lin Duo, he didn’t want to ask them.

Lin Bai wanted to tread his own path in martial arts and reach the peak!

Ling Tianzi smiled faintly, "I know your temperament. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re now out of options, you wouldn’t come and ask me for advice!"

"Now that you’ve asked, I will naturally think of a solution for you!"

After thinking for a while, Ling Tianzi asked, "So you still need three treasures, right?"

Lin Bai nodded, "Yes."

Ling Tianzi, with a pondering expression, said, "In fact, I do know about three defensive treasures!"

"The first one is in the Forbidden Area on the mountain behind the Shengyue Sect in Dayue Kingdom. There is a treasure called the Thousand Star Bead. It forms the center of the Shengyue Sect’s Mountain Protection Array! If you can get it, it can withstand one attack from the Giant God Clan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately found himself in a predicament.

Given that this Thousand Star Bead was so precious, being the linchpin of the mountain-protection array of the Shengyue Sect, Lin Bai would be dooming himself to a bitter rivalry with that sect if he were to dismantle this setup. It even threatened another outbreak of conflict between the Dayue and Shenwu kingdoms.

However, Ling Tianzi mentioning of the Thousand Star Bead offered Lin Bai a way out.

"Secondly, do you know about the Three Stages and Five Obstacles of the Miracle Ridge?"

Lin Bai casually nodded at Ling Tianzi’s abrupt mention of the Miracle Ridge, "Of course, I’ve heard about it. If the warriors invited by the Miracle Ridge don’t have an invitation, they must pass through the Three Stages and Five Obstacles to enter the Miracle Ridge."

"My second suggestion for a treasure that will resist a single attack from the Giant God Clan is amongst those Three Stages and Five Obstacles," Ling Tianzi remarked with a nonchalant smile.

"If you can conquer that trial, it would provide the best opportunity for you to breakthrough into the Human Elixir Realm. Remember, don’t squander this chance," Ling Tianzi said, his tone serious as ever.

Lin Bai could not help but ask out of curiosity, "Master, does this trial contain some kind of treasure?"

Ling Tianzi chuckled, "There is indeed a massive formation amongst these trials, capable of withstanding a single assault!"

"I see," Lin Bai said with a nod, enlightenment lighting up his face.

Subsequently, Lin Bai inquired, "And the third treasure, Master?"

Ling Tianzi laughed, "The third treasure is something I have already given you. Do you remember back when you just learned the Sword-controlling Skill, and we had a competition to see who could return to the Spirit Sword Sect first? I pierced your body with a beam of Spiritual Light..."

"Consider that Spiritual Light a talisman bestowed by me,"

Ling Tianzi mentioned, his tone mild.

It was at this point that Lin Bai recalled their race back to the Spirit Sword Sect. Although Lin Bai had lost, Ling Tianzi had nonetheless injected him with a strand of his Spiritual Light.

Though Lin Bai had asked about the nature of this Spiritual Light at the time,

Ling Tianzi never clarified and only told Lin Bai that the Spiritual Light would have great use in the future.

Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Bai was moved and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"

Ling Tianzi said, chuckling, "If you can get the Thousand Star Bead, and when you challenge the Three Stages and Five Obstacles at the Miracle Ridge, you should be able to break through into the Divine Elixir Realm. With your current strengths plus these treasures, resisting the Giant God’s Intent nine times shouldn’t be too difficult. You should have at least an 80% confidence."

"And if you survive this attack from the Giant God’s Intent, be careful. Your location will be revealed to the Giant God Clan. At that point, they will dispatch someone to find you,"

Ling Tianzi added as a reminder.

"Master, if the Spiritual Light you implanted in me is activated, wouldn’t that expose you as well, and put you in danger?"

Lin Bai expressed his concern. If the Spiritual Light was unleashed and alerted the Giant God Clan of Ling Tianzi’s behind-the-scenes help, Lin Bai would unwittingly place Ling Tianzi in significant danger.

Lin Bai was least willing to bring his friends and family into jeopardy.

Ling Tianzi reassured him, "No need to worry. Even if the Giant God Clan senses me, I have my ways to escape. Don’t worry about me; instead, your focus should be on obtaining the Thousand Star Bead and advancing to the Miracle Ridge!"

Lin Bai solemnly nodded in understanding.

"Lin Bai, it’s time for me to leave,"

Ling Tianzi declared, a bit of heaviness in his voice.

Caught off guard, Lin Bai asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"It’s been a hundred years since I stayed in Spirit Sword Sect. The promise I made to an old friend has been fulfilled. Soon, I will be leaving Spirit Sword Sect to return to my world,"

Ling Tianzi responded with a smile.

"Where is your world?"

Lin Bai asked curiously.

Ling Tianzi replied with a laugh, "There’s no need to ask more. When it’s time for you to know, you will."

"Oh!"

Lin Bai looked at Ling Tianzi, a hint of disappointment in his gaze.

"You should concentrate on your cultivation." Ling Tianzi comforted him, "When you reach the peak of the Martial Art in this Barbaric Ancient Continent, the day of our Master and student reunion will not be far."

Lin Bai vowed, "I will do my utmost! To not disappoint my master’s expectations and strive for the peak of Martial Arts!"
