Told You I Can Turn Back Time

Chapter 453: Chapter 366: The Final Wait

Reading the content of the Immortal Decree, Lin Xing’s expression gradually became solemn.

The Kunlun Mountain under his feet was much more formidable than he had originally anticipated, especially the power that connected the various realms and circulated spirit mechanisms and evil energy—it could easily destroy a civilization.

So, what kind of combat power could a real Immortal possess?

Just thinking about it filled Lin Xing at this moment with a mix of tension and excitement.

"If I could control this Kunlun Mountain, then I could control the flow of evil energy in both the present world and the Mirror World, turning the people of both worlds into normal beings like me."

But Lin Xing knew that he was not currently capable of doing this.

The fact that the Immortals were willing to use Kunlun to connect the various realms demonstrated their complete confidence in this treasure, convinced that mortals, no matter what they did, could not possibly take control of Kunlun Mountain.

And through his repeated attempts at reversing time, Lin Xing indeed felt that Kunlun Mountain was impervious.

"Perhaps only after mastering the fourth legacy and truly possessing the power for spatial ascension, might there be a chance to influence Kunlun Mountain."

"Power—the most important thing now is ultimately power."

Lin Xing had come to Kunlun this time to understand and collect information about Immortals, but he had never expected to defeat his opponent through some intelligence alone.

"In this world, it ultimately comes down to power. Although I possess righteousness, to sweep away the myriad evils, I still ultimately rely on martial force."

Through the various past-life memories he had acquired, Lin Xing knew that on the day when the great changes of heaven and earth arrived, he had two major troubles to resolve.

One was that on that day, he would once again undergo the process of obtaining time-space abilities.

In past reincarnations, after obtaining time-space abilities, he would suffer a runaway consciousness and breakdown due to his inability to bear the power, ultimately causing an unprecedented reversal of time and a reset of everything.

Second, after the great changes of heaven and earth and having obtained time-space abilities, he would also face an assault from the Immortal Court. Judging by the information already known, Lin Xing thought that his opponent possessed at least the power of the fourth legacy or above.

It would be extremely difficult to resolve either of these troubles, let alone both at the same time.

To Lin Xing at this moment, the primary condition to solve these two problems lay in power.

"I must directly break through on the day of the great changes, when the spirit mechanisms surge, and gain control of the fourth legacy."

"Only by doing this is there hope to safely get through..."

While Lin Xing was reading the Immortal Decree and pondering his plans, Bai Yiyi and the broken sword by his side could no longer contain their curiosity.

Bai Yiyi, "Lin Xing, what are you doing? Is this stone platform for receiving Immortal Decrees? Did you hear what the Immortal said?"

The broken sword spun around the stone platform, murmuring, "It’s actually here?"

"If this place can receive Immortal Decrees, then it should also be possible to send messages to the Immortal Court, right?"

"Can you ask about the matters of the Immortal Court for me?"

Lin Xing shook his head, "I indeed read the Immortal Decree that was handed down a hundred years ago, but as for replying to an Immortal, let alone not knowing how to achieve that at this moment, even if I could, I wouldn’t do it."

Having said that, he reached out with his palm and casually grasped the broken sword, as if catching a fish.

Watching the broken sword vibrate lightly, as if trying to break free from his grasp, Lin Xing spoke, "Although you have the memory of an Ascension Expert, you ultimately have no physical body at this moment, just occupying a broken sword. You cannot exert your true power, and escaping from my hand is even more impossible."

The broken sword coldly said, "Heh, you, a junior, are now troubled and want my help, don’t you? If you ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help, or do you think you can coerce me?"

Lin Xing slightly smiled and said, "I am not a madman; I generally don’t force others. What I want to discuss with you now is a trade."

"You want to communicate with the Immortal World and find out what it really is, right?"

"As long as you are willing to teach Master Bai swordsmanship, I will surely share with you the information I collect about the Immortal World in the future."

"You should know by now that I have the ability and the desire to do this."

Watching the silent broken sword, Lin Xing loosened his grip, allowing it to float in mid-air, "It’s okay if you still have hesitations in your heart. I am not in a hurry for you to answer right now."

The broken sword, however, spun to Lin Xing’s ear and said, "I’m not hesitating... it’s just that what you want me to do takes too much time. Could we agree on a different condition?"

Lin Xing’s gaze shifted as he replied, "Don’t worry, she has already started cultivating the Taiqing Sect’s ’Yuhua Reincarnation Chapter,’ and will soon be able to control memories, learning everything quickly."

Ever since she collected many puppet bodies in New Ke City of White Eagle Country and had Bai Yiyi extract their memories, her cultivation advanced at an incredibly rapid pace, and she soon broke through to the second heritage.

After that, through extensive online teaching, she quickly completed her accumulation as a martial master, dispelled the fog, and under the effects of Lin Xing’s time-reversal and the remnants of malevolent spirits, achieved sublimation, already having begun practicing the "Yuhua Reincarnation Chapter."

Lin Xing continued, "Moreover, when you guided the Sword Maiden, you were able to enhance her cultivation and draw out her potential, couldn’t you do the same for Master Bai?"

Sword-Breaker said helplessly, "It also depends on the individual. With her... I’m afraid it will be less effective."

Lin Xing indifferently said, "Less effective is fine, just as long as it can improve bodily strength and recovery like with the Sword Maiden..."

Still within Lin Xing’s body, Bai Yiyi spoke up, "What are you two muttering about?"

Sword-Breaker said, "I see you have decent aptitude, so I’ve decided to impart some swordsmanship to you. Are you willing?"

Bai Yiyi laughed and replied, "Old man, you really are on the same wavelength as me. If it were up to me, I’d be dying to pass on all my knowledge to myself."

In the days that followed, the group temporarily resided within Kunlun.

Bai Yiyi followed Sword-Breaker to learn Emei Swordsmanship.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing was preparing for the first moment after the great change of heaven and earth to grasp the fourth heritage.

During the fierce battle beyond the skies, Lin Xing utterly unleashed his will, violently erupting with his own power, and the impact on the billions of creatures on Earth couldn’t stop his actions.

This unbridled state exactly met the cultivation requirements of an Independent Immortal, allowing him to refine Immortal energies to a level of 10.5.

Thus, in the days following the slaying of the Sword Maiden, he continued to undergo sublimation and had already obtained the fourth triple sublimation.

External Divine Treasury: Use a magic artifact as the core, and with one’s own Primordial Spirit as the guide, cultivate a Second Primordial Spirit. Once this method is completed, not only does the Second Primordial Spirit possess much of one’s Divine Skills and mana, but paired with the magic artifact, it also has an extremely powerful physical body.

Creator’s message: Without the resolve to exhaust the wealth of generations, even at the cost of ending one’s lineage, I advise you not to cultivate a Second Primordial Spirit. Once the Second Primordial Spirit is formed, the magic artifact cannot be replaced. If you are to cultivate, you must use the best magic artifact you can.

Lin Xing knew that this method of sublimation was originally a secret sublimation technique of the Ming Mountain Sect, primarily intended to cultivate a Second Primordial Spirit possessing the same magical powers and martial abilities as oneself.

However, this sublimation was included in his Independent Immortal heritage for a different purpose, which, when combined with Lin Xing’s three other sublimations, could dramatically increase his combat power.

However, now was not the time to employ this sublimation. Lin Xing reached the highest point accessible in Kunlun, taking in the spirit mechanisms flowing upon the cliffs and the stream of Immortal energies deep within the mountain, thinking to himself, "Unexpectedly, this journey has brought such a fortuitous discovery."

As Lin Xing had been searching around the mountain earlier, following the streams of Immortal energies within Kunlun Mountain, he faintly discovered the source of these flows.

"The Immortal energies within Kunlun Mountain emerge from here, which confirms that this highest cliff is the point closest to the Immortal World within Kunlun."

"This is quite in line with the legend that one can ascend to the heavens by reaching the peak of Kunlun."

Lin Xing recalled the information he possessed, contemplating, "Since Kunlun Mountain possesses the power to adjust spiritual mechanisms, then perhaps there is an inextricable link between the upcoming upheavals of spirit mechanisms and this Divine Mountain."

"If that’s the case, this place is likely to be the first affected by the great changes of heaven and earth."

"Staying here might give me a better chance to grasp the fourth heritage immediately after the great upheaval."

Thinking this, Lin Xing decided to break through at this very spot.

He sat down cross-legged, with Immortal energies circulating back and forth inside him, forging ahead through the Immortal Meridians he had crafted.

The breakthrough method for the third heritage not only varies greatly among different schools and sects but also significantly differs between heritages.

The method of breakthrough planned in Lin Xing’s Independent Immortal heritage was even more unique than all other techniques in the world.

He needed to forcibly pry open the shackles of the Independent Immortal heritage, allowing an Independent Immortal who was normally unable to break through to the next realm or ascend through the void to master the fourth heritage.

At this moment, the sublimation of the Tide of Corpses had also been triggered.

A massive coffin opened behind Lin Xing, and corpse after corpse surged out from within, like a flood that gradually engulfed the surrounding mountains.

On the first day, the corpse tide covered the entire cliff.

By the second day, all the bodies had turned into a sea of blood, filling much of the Kunlun Mountain.

On the third day, the writhing sea of blood, like living things, etched row upon row of eerie runes onto the mountain.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day... As the days passed, Lin Xing continuously tuned his physical and mental state to their peaks, preparing for that final breakthrough.

And at last, the entire world finally reached the day when the spiritual mechanisms surged forth.
