Chapter 1312 Ultimate Inheritance, Saint’s Guide

Another seven days passed.

Lin Xun made another breakthrough in his physical training and reached the Spirit Sea Stage.

His body was tempered to the Great Pure combat body, and he grasped the combat art of Great Pure Annihilation Hand.

Another ten days later.

He made another breakthrough in his physical training, reaching the Heaven Ascension Stage.

His body was tempered to the Spirit Pure combat body, and he grasped the combat art of Spirit Pure Eight Division.

Witnessing the series of breakthroughs, A’u, who had a great mastery in physical cultivation, as well as the big black bird and Toady, all looked stupefied like they had seen a ghost.

They even began to worry that the rapid advancement would make Lin Xun’s physical cultivation foundation unstable.

After all, going beyond was just as bad as not going far enough. If he progressed too fast, then his foundation might not be firm enough or had enough time to stabilize. It could collapse very easily like a castle suspended in the air!

In the end, A’lu could not hold back and expressed his worries, “Big Brother, quickly stop!”

Lin Xun was taken aback at first, and then he said aloud, “How about we have a duel to test it?”

A’lu agreed, “Alright.”

He inhaled deeply, suppressed his cultivation and strength to the Spirit Sea Stage, and rolled up his sleeves. “Big Brother, be careful.”

He had absolute confidence in his physical cultivation foundation. He even secretly reminded himself that he must maintain a high standard and not let his big brother lose horribly.

What if he throws a fit out of embarrassment? In the end I would be the one suffering...

“A’lu, beat him, knock him down. Show him that you are the boss!”

“Hahaha, I want to see Lin Xun beaten.”

Toady and the big black bird gloated as though eager to stir up trouble.

Before long, the battle broke out. Lin Xun attacked with physical strength at the Spirit Sea Stage.

His body glowed an illusory hue like it was made out of jade. Qi and blood roared endlessly within him like thunder.

Boom!

A hand shadow took shape, shining brightly like glazed jade. It swept across the air

and a faint rumbling sound lingered in the air like an endless thunderclap.

Great Pure Annihilation Hand!

“Come on!” A’lu roared. His bearing was as mighty as that of a dragon as he sped forward to meet the attack head-on. Qi rushed up from his majestic mountain-like body like waves of smoke.

The two collided, sending the area quaking.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

To the astonishment of Toady and the big black bird, A’lu did not gain the upper hand in that attack but instead reeled a few steps like Lin Xun.

“That...”

A’lu was equally shocked, and then he drew a deep breath and yelled, “Again!”

Lin Xun smiled slightly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, and he charged forward.

Rumble!

It looked as though two mountains were colliding in the void. The impact was enough to terrify anyone.

Looking carefully, Lin Xun’s body was sparkling and bright, and when light hit his skin, it looked like glazed jade spewing out terrifying qi and power.

As for A’lu, his body was as solid as steel polished over thousands of times, and his aura was as powerful as that of a dragon soaring into the sky.

In terms of power, each had their own merits.

But Toady and the big black bird struggled to understand why A’lu, a veteran in physical training, still had not overpowered his opponent.

“A’lu, don’t tell me you are afraid that your big brother will retaliate afterwards. Hurry up and bring out your true power!” Toady yelled irritably, thinking that A’lu was deliberately holding back his strength.

The big black bird made a racket. “If you are a man, then take Lin Xun down with what you are best at!”

A’lu’s face grew dark and gloomy. At the beginning of the battle, he did indeed hold back, worried that Lin Xun would suffer an ugly defeat.

But now, he had no reservations at all and activated his Spirit Sea power to its fullest!

Boom!

The more Lin Xun fought, the more satisfying and enjoyable it was for him. The fighting method of physical cultivators was simple, straightforward, but extremely domineering, relying on nothing but brute strength.

No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, I can crush them all with absolute strength.

At the end of the battle, Lin Xun started to enjoy that feeling.

“I’m not fighting anymore.”

Suddenly, A’lu jumped out of the battlefield, exasperated and depressed.

It was a huge blow to him that he failed to win against a beginner like Lin Xun in physical strength.

“Did you do that on purpose?” Toady and the big black bird studied him suspiciously.

A’lu snapped, “What do you know?! Don’t you see now that my big brother is one of a kind, a rare physical cultivation genius throughout the ages?”

Toady and the big black bird scoffed at him.

How shameless. For the sake of pleasing Lin Xun, that barbarian not only held back his strength, but also took the opportunity to flatter him.

Aru’s face darkened. He was utterly speechless.

I swear to heaven that everything I said is true!

After the little duel against Lin Xun, he had concluded that Lin Xun’s rapid progress had not affected his physical cultivation foundation.

On the contrary, his foundation was unbelievably solid, comparable to his when he was at the same cultivation stage!

Could Lin Xun be a genius in physical cultivation?

It was a shame that neither Toady nor the big black bird believed it. A’lu finally understood the phrase: A summer insect knows nothing beyond its season.

......

Twenty days later.

Lin Xun’s physical cultivation reached the stage of Cyclic Derivation.

His body transformed into an Original Pure Combat Body, and he grasped the combat art of Original Pure Nine Defense.

At this point, even Toady and the big black bird were dumbfounded.

In just one month and ten days, Lin Xun went from a beginner physical cultivator to the Cyclic Derivation Stage expert!

They would not have believed it if they had not witnessed it with their own eyes!

It was indeed unbelievable. His speed of advancement made the two freak out like he was a monster.

“I have a strong feeling that my big brother has chosen the wrong cultivation path. With his talent, if he had started physical cultivation from the very beginning, he would have already become an extremely terrifying presence in the world of physical cultivators!” Toady stated.

He was also very bewildered and shocked.

Meanwhile, for Lin Xun, the previous one month of physical training was an indescribably wonderful experience.

He could distinctly feel that after practicing the Nine Pure Saint Body Art, his physical strength seemed to have found a belonging, and underwent an unprecedented purification and elevation.

From beginning to end, he encountered no stagnation or obstruction; it was extremely smooth and unimpeded!

It felt as though he was born for physical cultivation.

He was most surprised to find that during his physical training, his Origin Aeth Artery was more energetic than ever, continuously releasing wisps of strange energy and nourishing the qi and blood all over him.

“Could the awakening of the Origin Aeth Artery somehow be related to physical cultivation?” suspected Lin Xun.

The Origin Aeth Artery had awakened several times since its rebirth and had helped Lin Xun massively in his cultivation.

But it never once became as lively and agile as it did during physical training!

Lin Xun rejoiced at the unexpected discovery. Physical cultivation was indeed the right decision because it allowed him to better understand himself and his talent.

“Big Brother, you can now use the Ancient Tablet of All to temper your body.” A’lu said emotionally, “The tablet is imbued with the phenomenon of sixty-four physical training battles, which contain the life experience and insights of the battle emperor...”

He started to give instructions.

Lin Xun listened carefully, and finally realized that the Ancient Tablet of All was like a training ground, with many trials and tests in it.

Through the series of trials and tests, he would gain the experience and insights left by the battle emperor!

This was an undeniably rare opportunity.

In the beginning, the reason why Lin Xun started to consider physical training was precisely because he was intrigued by the Ancient Tablet of All.

“Let’s start!”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun fixed his eyes on the Ancient Tablet of All.

......

Meanwhile in the Upper Nine Realms, shocking news swept the world like a hurricane.

“Anyone who has been on the Genius Gold Rankings, regardless of whether they are still listed on it, will have the opportunity to enter the Ultimate Inheritance Land before the Supreme Realm comes to an end!”

“The Ultimate Inheritance Land contains the Saint’s Guide, which is said to hold the secret of supreme saint!”

“Only the best supreme cultivator of the longevity stage can obtain the Saint’s Guide!”

As soon as this secret came out, it set off storms across the nine realms. Countless fierce and powerful figures set their sights on the Genius Golden Rankings.

Only then did they realize that the Genius Gold Rankings was not just a simple list, but instead a test!

Only those who were ranked on the list were qualified to enter the Ultimate Inheritance Land and compete for the Saint’s Guide that held the supreme saint secret!

“Now, there are only three months left before the end of the Supreme Realm. Based on this, the Ultimate Inheritance Land is likely to appear soon.”

Many cultivators realized that a true earthshaking competition was about to kick off.

Very quickly, across the entire Upper Nine Realms, the area around every Genius Gold Battle Tablet was crowded like never before.

Some fierce and powerful experts who had never been on the Genius Gold Rankings surfaced in the world, causing quite a commotion.

No one imagined there to be so many more fierce cultivators who had never been ranked on the Genius Gold Rankings.

Abysmal Water Realm.

In the depths of a black ocean, there was a remote island.

On this day, a beam of blinding sword qi shot up from the isolated island, ripping through the sky. The clouds collapsed in all directions.

Everything dimmed under the beam of sword qi!

The sea water within hundreds of miles reared up.

Then, a ring of sword intent spread outwards like a ripple from the remote island, suppressing the sea water within hundreds of miles to the point that they seemed to be bowing their heads, tumbling endlessly.

On the island, Yun Qingbai’s eyes sprang open from meditation.

They were like a pair of bottomless whirlpools. Streaks of lightning-like sword light swirled within them as though capable of tearing apart all illusions and severing and devouring the soul!

Around him, invisible but frightening sword intent roamed, adding an incomparable sharpness to him like the backdrop of an invincible swordsman.

“A few years have passed, the people of the Upper Nine Realms have likely forgotten my existence...”

Yun Qingbai stood up leisurely, and the formidable power around him receded like a tide, making him look plain, ordinary, and nothing special.

“Lin Xun, I promise I will kill you this time!”

Swoosh!

A split second later, no trace of Yun Qingbai remained on the island.

On this day, Yun Qingbai returned to the world after several years.
