Chapter 197 Ring Grandpa...Uncle

He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and a terrifying force condensed from the center of his fist. Zhong Lin felt that his punch could even kill the sect leader Yu Jinglei, not to mention Shi Yunyi.

All 360 major innate acupoints are filled with innate true qi. There is a line connecting the acupoints. With a thought, one can mobilize the true qi throughout the body and unleash unparalleled power.

"Is this the innate perfection? It is indeed as the sect master said, it is indeed very powerful."

Zhong Lin muttered, and a powerful aura burst out from his body.

He lowered his head and saw that half of the spiritual fluid in the pool had been consumed. Just as he was about to stand up, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Lin took out a jade box from his arms. When he opened the jade box, there was another small jade box inside, just like Russian nesting dolls. After opening five jade boxes, a black iron ring appeared in front of him.

That’s right, it’s that old man with the ring.

A hint of determination flashed in Zhong Lin's eyes. "I have now reached innate perfection and can be said to be the strongest person on this continent. It's time to see the truth of this world. I want to see who this old man with the ring is."

With a thought, the innate true energy circulated and rushed towards the black iron ring.

boom!
A violent suction force came from the black iron ring, and Zhong Lin's body was like a floodgate opened, and his true energy poured into it like a flood.

"More... still... need... more."

The ethereal voice came from the ring again, and it was much clearer than before.

Zhong Lin's face changed. In just a moment, the innate true energy in his body was reduced by as much as 10%. He did not dare to be negligent at all. He opened his innate acupoints and madly swallowed the spiritual liquid in the spiritual pool.

One exhales, the other inhales, and a strange balance is reached between the two, but Zhong Lin can feel that the suction from the ring is stronger and faster.

"Hey, I want to see how much I can absorb."

Zhong Lin's eyes turned fierce and he swallowed the spiritual liquid even more frantically.

Compared to before, the spiritual liquid was consumed at a faster rate, until only a thin layer remained in the entire spiritual pool.

Zhong Lin slammed his left palm towards the black iron ring. With a clear sound, the black iron ring fell to the side, making a series of crisp sounds.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhong Lin slowly stood up, looking down at the black iron ring, and said coldly, "Are you still pretending to be dead? If you absorb so much spiritual fluid into innate true qi, even if it can't heal your injuries, it will be enough to wake you up."

The black iron ring still did not move, lying quietly aside, so inconspicuous.

"You're not going to show up, are you? Fine, then I'll pack you up and throw you into the toilet. Don't ever think of seeing the light of day again. You'll stay in there for the rest of your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black iron ring trembled, and then an illusory figure floated out of it.

The figure was that of a middle-aged man, his whole body was illusory and transparent, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind. Only the upper body was left, and the lower half was a wisp of green smoke, tightly connected to the black iron ring.

"Young man, don't be so impulsive. I never thought that a warrior as powerful as you would appear in the Black Turtle Continent today. You truly have an astonishing talent."

The moment he saw the ghostly figure appear, Zhong Lin's heart involuntarily skipped a beat. Sure enough, his guess was correct. It wasn't the Ring Grandpa, but the Ring Uncle.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Lin bowed and said, "Zhong Lin from Jian Ding Sect, greetings to the senior."

"Jian Ding Sect? I didn't expect it to be the inheritance left by Yan You. What a trick of fate."

Uncle Ring was also stunned when he heard the three words "Jian Ding Sect", and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

"Senior, you actually know the first generation leader of our Jianding Sect?" Zhong Lin asked in surprise.

"Yes, he and I, along with three other supreme masters from the Black Turtle Continent, crossed the ocean to search for other continents. We fought side by side along the way, escaping many dangers. I still remember Yan You's 'Spirit Heart Sword Technique' vividly!"

Yan You was the first generation leader of Jianding Sect and the person who founded Jianding Sect. However, it is recorded in the ancient books of the sect that the first generation leader Yan You suddenly disappeared one day and never appeared again. Later generations just thought that he died a violent death. In this case, it is no wonder that he went out to sea.

Zhong Lin put down his hands and said with feigned excitement, "So Senior and Sect Leader Yan were successful back then."

"You care?"

"Of course. Warriors like me naturally don't want to be confined to a corner. There is a wider world and more advanced martial arts outside. I, Zhong, naturally yearn for it." Zhong Lin said proudly.

The uncle with the ring said quietly, "But it's even more dangerous outside. You've already achieved Xiantian status. No one can defeat you in this Spirit Turtle Continent. You can hold power while awake, and sleep with a beautiful woman while drunk. How wonderful it is! If you were to go outside, Xiantian warriors, although they're not at the bottom of the world, wouldn't be able to live as freely as they do in the Black Turtle Continent. If you're not careful, you could die. So, are you still willing to go out?"

"I am willing. If warriors like me are so hesitant, how can we bravely climb to the top? I would like to ask, senior, is there a way beyond the Xiantian realm?"

Zhong Lin stared at the uncle with the ring with his eyes, his gaze was so scorching that it seemed to be able to melt people.

"Of course there is. After Xiantian comes Lingyuan, after Lingyuan comes Chaofan, and after Chaofan comes Xuandan."

"There is a way, there is a way, hahahaha, that's great, that's great."

Zhong Lin roared to the sky, extremely excited.

He wanted to create an image of himself as a martial arts fanatic so that he could better express his wishes.

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhong Lin himself is a martial arts fanatic, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have such martial arts skills before he turned 20.

After a while, Zhong Lin calmed his trembling heart and asked, "What is your name, Senior? Why are you hiding in the ring? Are you dead or alive? Do you have a route to the sea?"

Zhong Lin had a lot of questions to ask and wanted to know more about the truth of the world.

"Hahaha, listen carefully. I am Chen Jia. Two thousand years ago, I roamed the Black Turtle Continent. With a single iron sword, I swept through all the contemporary opponents. Even your Jian Ding Sect's founder, Yan You, was defeated by me. After achieving innate perfection, I began to seek a way to go to sea. Eventually, I went to sea with a friend. However, the sea was plagued by storms, huge waves, and numerous sea beasts. My friend died in the ocean, but I luckily survived and returned to the Black Turtle Continent."

"After recovering from my injuries, I began looking for other ways to get out to sea. I didn't want to be trapped on the Black Turtle Continent. Eventually, I stumbled upon a large stone tablet formation. After activating it, I used teleportation to leave the Black Turtle Continent..."

Zhong Lin sat quietly by the side, listening to the ghost who called himself Chen Jia telling his own experiences, and his worldview was opened up again.
