Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 84: The old man in hemp robe, great changes in the wilderness
"Buzz!!"

Countless array patterns scattered on the earth emitted faint light at the same time, and then a huge spiritual array took shape on the earth.

With the blessing of this huge spiritual formation, the originally broken earth began to heal continuously. Not long after, the earth became complete again, but it was very different from its previous appearance.

After doing all this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this large formation in place, the demonic energy underground should not be able to break through in a short period of time. After all, the Nine Kings Palace had just revived, and its strength had just recovered a little when one of its clones was killed. It had to lie dormant for a while.

Lin Dong, who was standing aside, watched with his own eyes such a huge spiritual formation taking shape in Lin Xuan's hands, with a flash of amazement in his eyes. He originally thought that Lin Xuan only knew swordsmanship, but now it seems that he is also extremely proficient in sword formations. It's a pity that he believed what Lin Xuan said before, that he only knew some basic formations and had not yet entered the door.

After Lin Xuan stopped, Lin Dong also put away the ancestral stone. He didn't know if it was Lin Dong's illusion, but he always felt that the ancestral stone seemed to have more spiritual energy after swallowing the magic armor.

"It's best not to expose the ancestral stone and ancestral talisman on you."

Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Dong, paused for a moment, and for the sake of Hei Tong, he gently reminded him that the demons were searching the entire world for this kind of thing and were trying to find a way to get rid of it.

“Don’t worry, Young Clan Leader, Lin Dong understands!”

Even if Lin Xuan didn't say anything about this matter, Xiao Diao would have reminded him. Even if no one reminded him, Lin Dong himself understood that even a strong man at the level of Samsara Realm would want to get rid of him personally. Not to mention doing it personally, even an extremely weak clone would not be something Lin Dong could deal with.

Lin Dong didn’t think that he had the strength like Lin Xuan, who could kill the clone of a powerful Samsara Realm expert directly when he was in the Nirvana Realm.

"By the way, will the young patriarch return to the tribe directly next?"

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly after hearing this, glanced at Lin Dong, and spoke softly.

"I still need to stay in seclusion for a while to heal my wounds. Besides, the alien demons have always been cunning. If the Nine Kings Palace takes this opportunity to feign defeat and takes advantage of my lowered vigilance to break the seal again after I leave, and the demons infect the Great Wilderness County, I'm afraid that all the people in the Eastern Xuan Territory will be devastated."

Lin Dong nodded slightly upon hearing this. Facing a monster that had been sealed for thousands of years and still survived, he did need to be cautious. However, Lin Xuan’s next words made Lin Dong’s eyes change.

"After you recover from your injuries, you will need to come here again to observe whether there are any unusual movements in the Nine Kings Palace. It would be best to use the power of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to reinforce the Sealing Spirit Array again. Therefore, you need to find the Devouring Ancestral Talisman as soon as possible and refine it."

Xiao Diao looked at Lin Xuan, who had a calm face, and suddenly shuddered involuntarily. This guy, is he too cautious?

This situation is no less than the kind where, after killing the opponent, the corpse is burned and the ashes are scattered instantly. After doing all this, it is still not safe enough, so a formation is set up to seal and destroy the soul and spirit to prevent the opponent from returning to life.

Fortunately, Lin Dong is the opponent's henchman, so by following Lin Dong, he doesn't become the enemy. Otherwise, Xiao Diao feels that he will have to sleep with one eye open in the future.

This guy is simply a pervert, he is too cruel!
With the departure of Lin Xuan and his companions, the entire Great Wilderness Ancient Monument fell into silence again. Only the brand new ground that seemed to have been plowed indicated that some major changes had taken place here.

And this tranquility was broken once again after several months.

A space crack appeared again, and then an old man in a linen robe squeezed in from the space crack, looking a little embarrassed.

"That damn guy actually reinforced the seal here, almost preventing me from getting in!"

After saying a curse, the old man in the linen robe's face suddenly changed. The powerful aura of the Nirvana Realm was released instantly, and he stared around with a vigilant look.

After a while, seeing that there seemed to be no major movement around, the old man in the linen robe carefully looked at this vast and silent land.

Then, his brows furrowed again, and the old man in the linen robe looked down at the earth that had been almost completely turned over, as well as the many mountains that had been knocked down, and his face became filled with surprise.

"What on earth happened here? Not only was the ground turned upside down, but there is also an extremely powerful aura lingering in the space, sword energy, the power of heavenly thunder, and an extremely strange and evil aura. Could it be that a great devil was born here?"

Scanning the land with a look of doubt and astonishment, the old man in the linen robe flew deeper into the space while looking around, feeling the powerful aura lingering in the space, trying to guess what kind of shocking battle had taken place here.

Suddenly, the old man in the hemp robe focused his gaze and looked at the ancient stone tablet. On the stone tablet, the newly engraved sword marks still retained extremely sharp sword energy, and the huge "sword" revealed an astonishing sword intent.

It is obvious that the person who left the words is definitely someone with a strong understanding of swordsmanship.

At this moment, the old man in the linen robe's expression suddenly changed. His gaze moved from the stone tablet downwards to the mysterious skeleton sitting with its back against the stone tablet. A sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

"boom!"

Under the gaze of the old man in the linen robe, the eyes of the gray-white mysterious skeleton suddenly lit up with two rays of light. The next moment, the mysterious skeleton suddenly stood up, and an aura as strong as that of the Five Element Nirvana Realm rose from its body.

At this moment, the old man in the linen robe was attracted by the sword marks on the body of the mysterious skeleton.

The old man in the hemp robe was from a super sect after all, so he naturally had considerable knowledge. He could tell at a glance that the strength of this mysterious skeleton when he was alive was definitely able to reach the realm of life and death, otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have such powerful strength after death.

But even with such powerful strength and body, this mysterious skeleton was still left with so many sword marks. How powerful must the person who drew the sword be?
"Roar!"

The old man in the linen robe was attracted, but the mysterious skeleton was not. After locking its eyes on the old man in the linen robe, the mysterious skeleton suddenly jumped up and attacked the old man directly.

The gray-white bone fist cut through the space and smashed towards the old man in the linen robe. The old man in the linen robe who was awakened was not willing to be outdone, and directly mobilized his Yuanli to fight with a punch.

"boom!"

The violent force exploded instantly, directly knocking the old man in the linen robe back.

The face of the old man in linen robe who was shocked back changed involuntarily. The strength of this mysterious skeleton was even stronger than he expected. The terrifying power that came entirely from the skeleton was simply terrifying.

His power is so terrifying, how strong was the person who left the sword marks on his body?

hiss!
Thinking of this, the old man in the linen robe couldn't help but gasp. It was so strenuous for him to just throw a punch, but that person was able to leave sword marks on this mysterious skeleton. His strength was definitely not something he could contend with.

"Forget it. It seems that this Devouring Ancestral Talisman is no longer my thing!"

The old man in the hemp robe muttered to himself, and then he turned around and fled without hesitation. There was no point in staying here now, so he might as well run away. After a lot of effort, under the entanglement of the mysterious skeleton, he found an opportunity and broke the seal of the ancient monument space. Before the old man in the hemp robe could breathe a sigh of relief, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because, a figure in white clothes and white hair appeared in front of him, and the old man in the linen robe could not see through the aura of the person opposite him at all.

After swallowing, the old man in the linen robe stretched out his hand and pinched a talisman for help. Before he could make any move, he heard a cold voice.

"You can try and see which is faster, you crushing the talisman or the sword!"

The next moment, the old man in the linen robe looked at the black, bladeless sword tip against his forehead, and his whole body trembled as he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Sir, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I am the steward of Jiutian Taiqing Palace. I am here just to follow orders... to follow orders..."

The old man in the linen robe muttered to himself, staring blankly at the light flowing on the tip of the sword in front of him, his mouth subconsciously opened wide.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? Could it be that this is really the legendary supreme power?"

"Do you recognize it?"

The calm voice echoed in his ears, and then the old man in the linen robe felt his eyes suddenly brighten. When he looked again, the pitch-black sword that completely blocked the light had been put into the scabbard.

After swallowing his saliva again, the old man in the linen robe couldn't help but sneer and explained softly.

“Although the disciples of Jiutian Taiqing Palace have never seen the power of the Supreme, they all have some understanding of it, so they can recognize it at a glance.”

This is the most orthodox inheritance of the lineage of the Palace Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace. Naturally, the disciples of Jiutian Taiqing Palace would not be unfamiliar with it, because, for a long time, Jiutian Taiqing Palace has had an unwritten rule, that is, as long as one comprehends the power of the Supreme, one can directly take charge of the power of the Palace Master.

This is set up out of concern for unexpected events, and only the core descendants of the Palace Master's lineage are qualified to practice the Supreme Sensing Art, so it can stabilize the situation at critical moments.

However, the Supreme Sensing Technique has never been used before...

As soon as he thought of this, the old man in the linen robe's eyes widened instantly, because he remembered that after the Palace Master and the Young Palace Master returned from their outing, an order passed down in the palace seemed to be to pass the Supreme Induction Art to a person outside the sect.

After all, the Supreme Sensing Art is the secret of Jiutian Taiqing Palace. If it is discovered, the disciples of Jiutian Taiqing Palace will hunt it down to the death. If he doesn't tell others, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace is afraid of misunderstanding.

Not only that, it is said that the Young Palace Master was defeated by that man at that time. The man was extremely talented and even refused the Palace Master's request to accept him as a disciple. Finally, the Palace Master was moved by his talent and made an exception to pass down the Supreme Induction Technique.

It is said that the man who was at the same level and defeated the Young Palace Master with three swords was known as the Sword Saint!
"I don't know your name?"

The old man in the linen robe looked at the elegant young man in white in front of him, raised his hand and clasped his fist in greeting, and asked softly.

"Lin Xuan!"

Lin Xuan responded softly. He was originally recuperating in seclusion in the Xuanyin Mountains of Dahuang County. The Xuanyin energy there was strong, and for Lin Xuan, whose soul was injured, it was an excellent place to recuperate.

Human beings are made up of yin and yang energies, with the body being mainly yang and the soul being more yin.

During this period, Lin Xuan, who had been concentrating on recuperating from his injuries, was almost healed. But not long ago, Lin Xuan sensed that someone had broken the seal of the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument and forced his way into it, so he came out and rushed over directly.

After hearing these two words, the old man in the linen robe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly responded with a smile.

"So it's His Excellency the Sword Saint in person. I'm honored to be here!"

"If there is nothing else, leave this place!"

After Lin Xuan left a few words, he left. The old man in the linen robe looked at Lin Xuan's departing back, smiled bitterly, shook his head and left.

The old man in the hemp robe thought that since Lin Xuan was there, he naturally had no chance of getting the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. He had made this trip in vain. Not only did he travel all the way, but he also almost lost his life.

Lin Xuan, who returned to the Xuanyin Mountains again, had no idea that during his retreat, the entire Dahuang County had undergone tremendous changes.

The death of Teng Lei made the Yin Kui Sect furious, but due to the power of Lin Xuan, they did not dare to attack for a while. So, Teng Sha organized a conference to show off his power and then unify the entire Dahuang County.

But no one expected that while Tengsha was busy, the Great Demon Sect actually broke into the house and got involved with Lin Dong in secret.

To be precise, it was Mu Qianqian from the Great Demon Sect who used the Great Demon Sect as a dowry, got engaged to Lin Dong, and married into the Lin family.

In addition, Lin Dong's strength increased dramatically, and he had the support of the Great Demon Sect and the backing of the Lin clan. Just like that, at the conference that Tengsha had carefully prepared for himself, the Martial Alliance directly sided with Lin Dong. The Martial Alliance and the Great Demon Sect joined forces, and with the addition of Lin Dong's own strength and the high-level talisman puppet, they directly defeated the Yin Puppet Sect.

After the Yin Kui Sect was destroyed and Lin Dong obtained the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, he secluded himself for several months and made great progress in strength. He broke through to the level of a high-level spiritual talisman master and became the strongest person in Dahuang County.

Just when many people thought that Lin Dong was going to unify the Great Wilderness County, Lin Dong suddenly became quiet. Even the Great Demon Sect stopped taking any action and instead focused on preparing for the wedding of Lin Dong and Mu Qianqian.

In Yinkui City, Lin Dong looked at the big red invitation in his hand, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Xiao Diao, tell me, if I go to deliver the invitation to the young patriarch, will it disturb his recovery?"

"You kid, why are you being so fussy? Just go and deliver it. Also, you have to tell the Sword Saint after you have refined the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. Didn't he say that he would use the Ancestral Talisman to reinforce the seal again?"

If they were enemies, Lin Xuan would be scary as he wouldn't give them any chance. But as members of the same camp, especially Lin Dong and Xiao Diao who were facing threats from alien demons at all times, they felt extremely relieved.

At least, he wouldn't have to worry all day about a top-notch expert in the Reincarnation Realm running out of the ancient monument to cause trouble for him.
