Chapter 317: The Holy Body of Civil Engineering
Zhong Lin nodded. This Long Zhao was not blinded by hatred.

Although I have never seen the Hundred Battles Holy Land, it must be an extremely powerful force to be on par with the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

It is said that in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, the Xuandan Realm is only an inner disciple, and only the Yinyang Realm above the Xuandan Realm are qualified to be true disciples.

You have to know that above the true disciples there are elders, supreme elders, sect masters, etc. You can imagine how powerful they are.

"Tell me why you went to the Falling Star Islands to steal the Xuantian Staff from those water monkeys?"

Zhong Lin shook the Xuantian stick in his hand.

"My master used a teleportation array to teleport me to Tianhai Country."

Seeing Zhong Lin's slightly confused look, Long Zhao explained, "Tianhai Country is a remote place near the sea in Jianyu. Strictly speaking, the Falling Star Islands belong to the jurisdiction of Tianhai Country, but it is too remote and the officials of Tianhai Country are too lazy to come here.

The Sword Region is too vast for the Heavenly Sword Holy Land to completely rule over. They lack manpower and management is too cumbersome. Therefore, the Sword Region actually contains many countries of varying sizes. These countries are all vassal states of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land and are required to pay tribute to it annually.

The Heavenly Sword Holy Land does not care about wars between vassal states, but only allows states of equal rank to attack each other, and does not allow the large to bully the small. However, if forces from other domains intervene and bully a vassal state, the Heavenly Sword Holy Land will intervene.

Zhong Lin nodded to show his understanding and motioned him to continue.

"In Tianhai Nation, the most powerful people in the open are the Yin-Yang Realm. The ancestors of Tianhai Nation, the leaders of the major forces, and the supreme elders are almost all powerful people at this level. There are not many of them. Under such circumstances, the Xuandan Realm can also be called a strong person. They have a noble status and are feared and respected by others when they walk around.

My current level is only Yunling Realm. If I want to rebuild Zhenhai Sect, I need to reach at least Xuandan Realm, but Xuandan is difficult to achieve.

Later, I heard that the Xuanling Secret Realm of Tianhai Nation was about to open. Rumor has it that the Xuanling Secret Realm is opened by powerful Nirvana Realm masters and opens every three hundred years. It holds a great secret and is sure to reveal spiritual objects that can help one find a Core Forming Core. I also stumbled upon the fact that the Sea Ape Clan near the Falling Star Islands possessed a mysterious artifact, so I decided to steal it, just to have some means of survival when entering the Xuanling Secret Realm.

Long Zhao quickly explained why he stole the Xuantian Stick.

Zhong Lin nodded. Although he couldn't judge the truthfulness of Long Zhao's words, he thought most of them should be true, because there was no need to lie about these things, and he would know the truth by asking.

"Senior brother, why don't you come with me to Tianhai Country to rebuild the Zhenhai Sect!" Long Zhao said with a burning gaze.

"..."

Zhong Lin looked at Long Zhao with a strange expression. He had just rebuilt the Jianding Sect, and now someone came and asked him to rebuild the Zhenhai Sect?
What kind of plane?
Do I look so much like the Holy Body of Civil Engineering?

The Xuantian stick danced in his hand, and suddenly he had a desire not to return it.

"I'm not interested. I just learned the Zhenhai Sect's skills. I'm not a member of the Zhenhai Sect. To be honest, I'm still your enemy."

Zhong Lin looked at Long Zhao with a dim gaze.

"... Why do you say that, Senior Brother?"

"Still pretending? Let me ask you, how long has the Zhenhai Sect been destroyed?" Zhong Lin asked coldly. "Less than a hundred years."

"The one I encountered was a thousand-year-old ghost. Also, you don't think a thousand-year-old ghost would be so kind as to teach me martial arts, do you?"

Long Zhao broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. Having experienced such a tragic event as the destruction of his sect and having traveled in the Eastern Wilderness for so long, he was definitely not a kind-hearted person. How could he not understand what Zhong Lin said?

As soon as he heard the words "thousand-year-old ghost", he immediately thought of the word "possession".

"Speaking of which, my cheap master has shot himself in the foot. He taught me the Dragon Elephant Golden Body just to lower my guard, but he didn't expect that I would practice so fast. When he took over my body, I had already cultivated the Dragon Elephant Golden Body to the eighth level." Zhong Lin sneered.

Long Zhao also felt a twinge of pain towards the elder whom he had never met. Why not just take over another body? It would be much better to find an unborn fetus. Why bother looking for a genius just to save some time?
It’s a mess!

The eighth level of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body possesses the soul secret technique "Dragon Elephant Symbolizes God". Those who can cultivate to this level have no fear of being possessed by others. With the dragon and elephant by their side, they can easily suppress it.

"He's unkind, but I can't be unjust. After all, I owe my current achievements to my cheap master. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. So I only shattered his spirit, but preserved his true soul. I'll send him to reincarnation when I have the chance. Since you're from this sect, how about I teach you?"

As he spoke, Zhong Lin took out the soul-nourishing ring that had been hidden at the bottom of his storage bracelet and pretended to give it to Long Zhao.

Long Zhao had already opened the Soul Palace to strengthen his spirit and soul. With a sweep of his mind, he could naturally feel a true spirit floating in the soul-nourishing ring.

At the same time, he also had a more favorable impression of Zhong Lin. After all, he could leave a true spirit of a person who wanted to take over his body, which showed that he had a kind heart.

If it were me, I would never be able to do it. I would never stop until I scare him to death.

Even bad people like to be friends with good people.

Thinking of this, Long Zhao spoke again: "Brother, this is not your fault. This is all his own fault. It has nothing to do with you. Moreover, you have left his true spirit. Even if the Zhenhai Sect is not destroyed, the Sect Master will not say anything if he is resurrected.

But no matter what, it is undeniable that you have cultivated the Dragon Elephant Golden Body."

"Why? You want to take it away for Zhenhai Sect?"

Zhong Lin waved the Xuantian stick in his hand and looked at Long Zhao with a dangerous look on his face.

"Don't... don't misunderstand me." Long Zhao said quickly, "What I meant is that the Dragon Elephant Golden Body is only the introductory practice of the Zhenhai Sect. Brother, do you want the subsequent practices? Although the Zhenhai Sect has been destroyed, it was once an unparalleled sect. There are countless skills and martial arts within the sect, even heaven-level skills."

Zhong Lin snorted coldly, his face full of disdain as he said, "I believe that the Zhenhai Sect possesses a Heaven-level technique, but I don't believe you do. Don't tell me that you are carrying the Zhenhai Sect's fundamental inheritance. I don't think the Zhenhai Sect's Sect Master would be so foolish as to entrust the root of the inheritance to a disciple like you who can even form a Xuandan."

"Senior brother, although you are telling the truth, could you please not be so direct?" Long Zhao said with a resentful look on his face.

Looking at Zhong Lin's silent smile, Long Zhao sighed and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Senior Brother. However, I am telling the truth. Zhenhai Sect does possess supreme inheritance, namely the top-grade earth-level technique 'Blue Dragon Zhenhai Sutra' and the mid-grade heaven-level technique 'Xuantian Hualong Jue'. And I am practicing the 'Blue Dragon Zhenhai Sutra'."
