Chapter 224 I Actually Lied to You
Zhong Lin did not show any restraint and flew openly over the mountain range where the Jianding Sect was located.

It came like a phoenix riding on fire, and its huge flaming wings could be observed dozens of miles away. From a close distance, it was like watching the sun.

So when Zhong Lin appeared, the entire Jianding Sect was alarmed and in an instant, many disciples shouted loudly, and those who were practicing sword skills and honing their martial arts also stopped what they were doing.

"That...that's Vice Sect Master Zhong. He...he can actually fly in the sky?"

"I saw it. Vice Sect Leader Zhong actually grew wings. How...how is this possible?"

"Such a terrifying aura! Why do I have the urge to kneel down?"

"Go and inform the Sect Master quickly."

All the people in the Jian Ding Sect looked up at Zhong Lin in the void in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

How can a person fly?

And grew wings?

It's incredible.

Zhong Lin also saw Yin Daoyan and Gu Yourong in the crowd. Their figures flashed and they stepped into the air and came over.

"Master, I'm back."

Yin Daoyan, who had always been extremely dignified, now lost much of the dignity of a master and looked at Zhong Lin in shock.

"Zhong Lin, you...this..."

Yin Daoyan looked at the pair of red flame wings behind Zhong Lin with a trembling voice.

Zhong Lin's shoulders shook, and the wings of red flame disappeared, as if it was all an illusion.

shhhhhh!
Three sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the distance, and they were actually from the sect leader Yu Jinglei, the supreme elder Lu Ming and Shi Yunyi.

"Zhong Lin pays homage to the Sect Master."

Zhong Lin bowed and smiled.

"Zhong Lin, was that you just now? How did you do that? And those flaming wings?"

Yu Jinglei's mouth was like a machine gun, with questions pouring out all at once.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhong Lin with burning eyes.

"Could it be..."

Zhong Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have broken through the Lingyuan realm."

Before speaking, Zhong Lin deliberately released an aura unique to the Lingyuan Realm. Although the terrifying aura only flashed for a moment, it made everyone in front of him feel a fear from the ancient behemoth. At that moment, the innate true energy in his body stopped flowing.

"Good! Good! Good, hahahaha, it's true, it's true, the Lingyuan Realm is real."

Yu Jinglei uttered three "good" words in a row, with excitement and excitement hard to conceal on his face.

For thousands of years, the strongest warrior on this continent was only at the Xiantian realm. The so-called Lingyuan realm only appeared in a travelogue that was not sure whether it was true or not. Many times, Yu Jinglei thought that this was just the dream of the sect's predecessors, but now it seems to be true. How can he not be excited?

"Zhong Lin, can...can you let me feel the power of the Lingyuan Realm?" Yu Jinglei said in a trembling voice.

Zhong Lin did not refuse. He turned his head and looked around, finally focusing his eyes on a small hill in the distance.

With a flick of his sword finger, a platinum-colored sword energy shot up into the sky, as wide as a stone pillar and a hundred meters long, and slammed towards the hill.

Rumble!
There was a loud roar, and in the horrified eyes of the crowd, the small hill was directly pierced through by this essence, rubble flew everywhere, and the earth trembled, as if a dragon had turned over and the world was coming to an end.

Yu Jinglei's face was filled with unimaginable shock, and so were the others. No matter how hard they tried, they could never have imagined that Zhong Lin could destroy an entire mountain with a single blow. This terrifying power was beyond their imagination.

"Moving mountains and overturning seas, destroying heaven and earth, Ling Yuan, this is Ling Yuan, good, good!"

Yu Jinglei was shaking with excitement, and the others were looking at Zhong Lin with fiery eyes.

Not only them, but also the disciples of Jianding Sect who had gathered around to watch were shocked beyond their control, their eyes were dazed, and some were so scared that they fell to their knees, looking at Zhong Lin with admiration as if he were a god.

Everyone returned to the main hall, and all the elders came out of seclusion, staring at Zhong Lin.

"Zhong Lin, have you really broken through the Lingyuan realm? What's going on? Where did you go during the year you disappeared?" Yin Daoyan asked anxiously.

"Master, there's no rush. I'll answer them one by one."

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "That day, after leaving the capital of Chen State, I accidentally stumbled into a secret realm. It was there that I discovered the remains of a senior master. With the help of the elixir and skills left by that master, I broke through to the Lingyuan realm in one fell swoop."

Zhong Lin told a small lie. After all, the matter of the teleportation array was of great importance. Although he planned to take a few people to the Falling Star Islands, he would not announce it to the public.

After hearing Zhong Lin's explanation, the others were all envious and wished they could take his place.

"The so-called Lingyuan Realm, also known as the Zhenyuan Realm, is a more powerful force formed by the liquefaction of innate true qi. A drop of Lingyuan contains a hundred times more innate true qi. As for the Flame Wings just now, it is a martial art that can only be practiced by those in the Lingyuan Realm."

"So that's how it is. True Qi... True Essence... Spiritual Essence... There is indeed a way that is not based on martial arts. If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening! I can die in the evening!" Yin Daoyan said in a trembling voice.

"Zhong Lin, do you still have the elixir that can help you break through?" Yu Jinglei asked anxiously.

"I've used it up. There are only three pills left, which are just enough to help me break through."

Zhong Lin's expression did not change at all, as if he was stating the facts.

The others also sighed when they heard this and could only envy Zhong Lin's good luck.

Next, the entire hall basically turned into a question-and-answer session for him. Others asked questions and Zhong Lin answered, especially some questions about the Lingyuan Realm.

Everyone is very curious about what kind of realm the legendary Lingyuan Realm is. Of course, the main people who ask this question are the sect leader and others. Others can even cultivate to the Xiantian Realm, and the Lingyuan Realm is too far away for them.

After another round of communication, all the elders were sent back, leaving only the sect leader Yu Jinglei, Yin Daoyan and Shi Yunyi.

"Zhong Lin, you sent me a message to let me stay. Is there anything else you want to say?"

After listening to Zhong Lin's explanation of the Lingyuan Realm, Sect Leader Yu Jinglei was moved and was planning to go back for some seclusion.

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "No hurry, drink some tea first to moisten your throat."

Although the three of them were confused, they still calmed down, picked up the teacups and drank the tea.

They themselves did not realize that after Zhong Lin broke through the Lingyuan Realm, their attitude towards him had changed. He was no longer a junior in their minds.

This is also their instinct. After all, in this world, force is respected and the powerful ones come first.

Zhong Lin broke through the Lingyuan realm and became the strongest person on this continent, which made them start to be cautious about what they said to Zhong Lin.

"Actually, what I said just now was a lie to you." Zhong Lin said quietly.

"puff!"

"Cough cough!"

Just as they drank the tea, Zhong Lin's words made the three of them spit it out. Yu Jinglei even coughed dryly, his face flushed, and he looked at Zhong Lin in disbelief.

"Don't make that expression. I really lied to you."
