What was happening?
When Lin Xun returned from Heaven-accessing Place, Shue Jin, who was drinking in the courtyard, suddenly became alert in his heart, and his look changed slightly.
The familiar killing intent poured out of Lin Xun’s room again.
Did this kid develop heart devils again?
Shue Jin rushed into the room before he could think more about it. When he saw Lin Xun sitting there with his knees crossed and meditating, his expression suddenly became complicated.
Sure enough, Lin Xun got new evil spirits in his aura.
The fierce killing intent was surging out of Lin Xun’s body, and he sometimes looked ferocious and savage. It was almost the same as the last time when he met evil spirits.
Damn it, what the hell was Lin Xun doing? Didn’t he learn his lesson last time?
Shue Jin was so angry that he almost hurled abuses at him. Liu Qingyan and Granny Wind had already left, so no one could save Lin Xun this time.
How should he deal with this matter?
Shue Jin really wanted to break Lin Xun’s head and see what he was thinking about to meet evil spirits twice. Was he really so desperate?
“Old Jin, I’m all right. Go out, please. This time I can kill the evil spirits by myself.”
Suddenly, Lin Xun opened his mouth; his voice was calm.
Shue Jin looked at Lin for a long time. He was amazed to find that the brutal and murderous air around Lin Xun’s body was weakening rapidly. He gave out a relieved sigh and left the room.
Returning to the courtyard, Shue Jin looked a little different. It was hard to imagine what scripture Lin Xun was practicing. In just a few days, he had actually attracted the evil spirits two times, which was unusual.
What made Shue Jin puzzled most was that facing the evil spirits the second time, Lin Xun unexpectedly showed an unprecedented self-confidence, as if he regarded the evil spirits as nothing important. He even doubted that did Lin Xun’s cultivation method need to be tempered with evil spirits?
Shue Jin couldn’t make any sense of it. He felt that Lin Xun was not only a pervert but also a monster who did things out of common sense. When Lin Xun grew up, who knew what kind of person would he become?
Shue Jin did not know that the instructor Shu Sanqi and Young Ke had expressed similar sentiments when Lin Xun was in the Bloodthirsty Camp.
A day later, Lin Xun woke up from meditation, and the evil spirits were all wiped out.
In fact, although there were many heart devils, they could no longer influence his mood. Under such circumstances, the shadows of death were just like many experiences of perception, which made Lin Xun master more mysteries of RFS when Lin Xun expelled them one by one.
This was indeed a crisis, but danger and opportunity went hand in hand. When danger ceased to threaten him, the opportunity appeared, and he grabbed it firmly.
According to Shue Jin’s view, Lin Xun’s experience of fighting against the heart devils was a special chance that he could not be expected. It could let him understand the mystery and power of evil spirits in his heart. It would bring an immeasurable benefit to his future practice, and his prospects would be boundless.
This could be discerned from the transformation of Lin Xun’s mood today. It was difficult to influence his mood even by evil spirits. So, it could be imagined how strong and tenacious Lin Xun’s would have become. He appeared steady as a rock.
…
Seven days passed.
This was the third time Lin Xun entered the Secret Realm of Hundred Battles.
Lin Xun, who was already very familiar with it, didn’t hesitate to fight one battle after another.
He was unbeatable all the way with unstoppable momentum. Lin Xun never failed again until the ninety-ninth battle.
It meant that he wouldn’t meet an evil spirit as long as he didn’t fail. It also meant that Lin Xun had reached an unprecedented level in his RFS.
“The hundredth battle: battle with a mighty human.”
The familiar cold voice sounded, announcing that the last battle was about to begin.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. His opponent, this time, would be a human, just like him.
Whoosh!
A sculpture broke, and a tall figure burst out. This was a man with a magnificent and distinguished aura that could only be witnessed in the primitive years.
He wore a neon plume, which only existed in ancient legends, and walked barefoot with long hair spread over his shoulders while holding a long-edged machete in his hand.
His temperament, dress, as well as his behavior, were as unique as an ancient practitioner’s.
To Lin Xun’s surprise, just as he was about to start, the mysterious cultivator suddenly spoke, “Wait a minute, friend. Listen to me first, please.”
This was Lin Xun’s first conversation with an opponent since he had owned the Heaven-access Place and got through several trials. Although they hadn’t fought yet, Lin Xun was still on guard while surprised.
“Go on.”
Lin Xun opened his mouth and observed his opponent carefully.
“My name is Wei Mingzi. I was the heir of the fifteenth generation of the Immortal Clan of Taiyi. I ended my life because of entering in here by mistake. Only a strand of my soul was sealed here, and I could never gain freedom again. It’s a great joy to meet you this time. I wonder whether you can help me be free from such constant torture.”
Wei Mingzi opened his mouth. His voice was sad and filled with grief and helplessness, touching others’ souls.
Lin Xun didn’t make any comment, but he was quite surprised in his heart. What was Taiyi Clan? He’d never heard the name of this force before.
Wei Mingzi’s conduct presented that he was no doubt an ancient practitioner from long ago. Taiyi Clan must be a force from a bygone era.
Lin Xun’s lack of response startled Wei Mingzi. He immediately took a deep breath and continued, “My friend, if you help me get out of trouble this time, I’ll give you an opportunity that will change your life.”
Lin Xun asked with interest, “And what is this so-called life-changing opportunity?”
Seeing that Lin Xun had been touched by his words, Wei Mingzi became excited, “You will naturally get that chance when you help me. I can swear on my life that if I lie to you, I’ll die at once, and I’ll suffer endless torment after death!”
Lin Xun couldn’t help feeling weird, “You’re already suffering nowin this place. Your promise is worth shit to me.”
Wei Mingzi bit his lips with bitterness. “My friend, please believe me; my words are true. I dare not deceive you.”
Lin Xun thought for a while and answered, “I can help you, but you have to wait until I get through this challenge.”
At the start, Wei Mingzi was happy secretly, but when he heard the whole sentence, his face changed, and he cried, “Don’t do that.”
Lin Xun keenly perceived that Wei Mingzi’s emotions seemed to be a little too excited. He could not help wondering why.
Wei Mingzi showed a strong hatred on his face as he gritted his teeth, “You might not know the secret of this place. This place is a trap for all the practitioners who step in here. Their mind and mood will be manipulated and influenced by the master here, and the practitioner will be turned into a mindless puppet in his hand. He will then control all the practitioners’ life and death.”
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and kept silent.
Wei Mingzi frowned and continued, “My friend, do you think I’m joking? Actually, I also tried to break through this obstacle all those years ago, but later, I discovered that this was merely a ruse. All the rewards and chances were put in place for utilizing and controlling us. Whoever resisted will suffer the same end as me.”
Lin Xun didn’t understand. “But I’ve never witnessed such a thing while breaking through the trials.”
Wei Mingzi displayed painful look at Lin Xun. “Don’t be fooled anymore. There are no opportunities and benefits in the world that you can get so casually. When you think you can get more, you’ve already fallen into a trap. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be confined here.”
Lin Xun was silent for a moment before he said, “I don’t agree with you. Before encountering this, I was almost crippled. It’s precisely because of entering this place that I changed my destiny and set foot on the cultivation path.”
After a pause, he suddenly laughed, “As for whether I will be used and manipulated, I’m not worried at all as I’m just a Human-gang practitioner. How can my cultivation be good enough to be used? Even if I will be used, at least it proves that I’m a valued one. I don’t mind paying this price for getting stronger.”
That was Lin Xun’s real thinking.
If he hadn’t owned Heaven-accessing Place, Lin Xun would have never gotten this far on his cultivation journey.
“How can you think like this…” Wei Mingzi was choked by Lin Xun’s reply, and his look changed dramatically.
Suddenly, he seemed to become aware of something and begged anxiously, “My friend, my time is limited. I beg your help this time. When I get out of this trouble, I will fulfill my promise and provide you a good chance.”
When the conversation went on until here, Lin Xun had roughly grasped something. He sighed lightly, “Since this good chance hadn’t helped you, and you still have to ask for my rescue, do you think I will believe your statement?”
After the words ended, Lin Xun’s dark eyes were full of coldness.
From the beginning, Lin Xun did not believe this Wei Mingzi at all. His existence was too abrupt and strange. Even his speech had many flaws, which made Lin Xun not trust him.
What was more, this was the last battle in the Secret Realm of Hundred Battles. Even if Wei Mingzi didn’t cheat him, Lin Xun preferred to break through the trial first then to stop and help him.
“How can you…”
Wei Mingzi’s face distorted and became fierce at this time. His whole body was surging with endless brutality and killing intent. The whole person appeared mad like a monster that had become addicted to killing, without any previous elegant demeanor.
He roared, “You have forced me to kill you. If you had promised to help me, maybe you could have saved your life. But now, I’m not only going to kill you, but I’ll also possess your body, take over your consciousness, and undergo rebirth. I’ll finally leave this damn place.”
His voice was terrifying, like a beast’s roar.
Boom!
His long hair waved in the air with his bold attack. The long-edged saber in his hand swept out a scene of the galaxy, a special display of RFS.
“You’re still in a hurry. Maybe, I’d have helped you after this challenge. Unfortunately, I already knew that you’re lying.”
Lin Xun sneered. Almost at the same time, the saber in his hand also slashed out. Without hesitation, he chopped towards the opponent’s head.
Wei Mingzi obviously intended to harm Lin Xun in the name of helping so as to achieve the purpose of possessing the body and to get rebirth through it.
