At that moment, a figure landed beside him, it was indeed Jian Feidao.
Lin Yi immediately bowed respectfully to Jian Feidao.
Jian Feidao stared into the scattered dust ahead, lost in thought, and said, "Since the Yuantian Sword Saint has bestowed his inheritance upon you, you must not fail his painstaking efforts, and you must become a Sword Saint of your generation, commanding respect in your time."
Lin Yi nodded, "I will definitely not let down his expectations."
"Lin Yi, the Blood Sky Clan Emperor has been seriously injured, and our Human Clan’s armies will soon launch a major counteroffensive."
Jian Feidao turned his head, his gaze resting upon Lin Yi, "You need to quickly refine the brand of inheritance from the Yuantian Sword Saint and take part in the upcoming counterattack!"
Lin Yi nodded, aware of the immense power of the Yuantian Sword Saint’s inheritance. Once he refined it, his strength would reach unfathomable new heights!
In the depths of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.
Inside an ancient dojo.
Lin Yi’s eyes were tightly closed, his body radiated a profound aura, as if he were immersed in the profound mysteries of a higher Dao.
The Yuantian Sword Saint was one of the Four Great Sword Saints of the Human Clan, with a profound understanding of the Sword Dao, like a vast ocean to Lin Yi.
To reach such a level was still a long journey for Lin Yi.
Receiving the brand of inheritance from the Yuantian Sword Saint, Lin Yi inherited the Yuantian Sword Saint’s Sword Dao insights.
It allowed him to not only learn many of the Yuantian Sword Saint’s sword techniques but also to enhance his comprehension of the Skyless Sword Manual.
The seventy-two strands of Skyless Sword Qi, Lin Yi had practiced them in a short time, advancing to one hundred and eight strands.
In the Yuantian Sword Saint’s inheritance, Lin Yi had unexpectedly discovered that forbidden sword technique which consumed life span!
This forbidden sword technique, named "Reincarnation," could unleash tremendous destructive power at the cost of life span.
The Yuantian Sword Saint had utilized this secret technique "Reincarnation" to inflict a heavy blow on the Blood Sky Clan Emperor, at the expense of all his life span.
This was undoubtedly a forbidden technique, once unleashed, it would inevitably result in loss of life.
Lin Yi held a reverential attitude towards this secret technique; after all, life span was too precious to humans, and once it was exhausted, it marked the end of life, with no possibility of recovery.
After that, Lin Yi began refining the strength within the inheritance brand of the Yuantian Sword Saint, elevating his cultivation to the pinnacle of the Second Level Venerable Realm.
Even though he was capable of breaking through, Lin Yi chose not to advance his realm yet, for he wished to enter the Sword Realm once more!
Stepping out of the dojo, Lin Yi arrived at Wanjian Mountain.
"It’s Senior Brother Lin Yi!"
At the foot of Wanjian Mountain, many disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land saw Lin Yi’s arrival, and they couldn’t help exclaiming with excitement.
Lin Yi, having returned from the Central Province King List as number one, overwhelming the Eldest Prince of the Undying Blood Clan, had become a legend of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, a legendary figure of the entire Eastern Domain.
Moreover, Lin Yi had received the posthumous teachings of the Yuantian Sword Saint; the younger generation of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land now saw him as their spiritual leader.
"Is Senior Brother Lin Yi here to challenge the Sword Realm again?" asked a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land with a respectful tone.
Lin Yi nodded, making no denial.
The next second, the news about Lin Yi challenging Wanjian Mountain spread rapidly among the disciples, causing a storm of excitement.
To date, the records of the Sword Realm were held by Lin Yi; above the Seventh Level, only his name remained, unbroken by anyone else.
And now, Lin Yi was once again about to challenge the Sword Realm; could it be that he intended to surpass his own previous record?
That was the record of the Eighth Level!
The disciples remaining in the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, having heard the news, all hurried to the base of Wanjian Mountain, despite being wheelchair-bound or relying on crutches. Most of them had been injured during the great battle with the Undying Blood Clan and had stayed within the Sacred Land to recover. But hearing that Lin Yi was going to challenge the Sword Realm again, they could no longer sit still.
Even with injuries, they wanted to witness it.
Under all those watchful eyes, suddenly, the Wanjian Mountain shone brightly with rosy light, and an ethereal gateway appeared. Without hesitation, Lin Yi stepped forward and vanished on the spot, turning into a streak of light as he entered the gateway!
"Do you think Senior Brother Lin Yi will be able to break his record as he wishes this time?" asked a disciple with bandages around his legs.
"Difficult," said another disciple with half his face obscured by bandages, shaking his head. "The strength of the cloning bodies in the Sword Realm is determined by the challenger’s abilities."
"The stronger the strength, the tougher the opponents, and even with greater power, the difficulty of the challenge remains unchanged."
"Now that Senior Brother Lin Yi is at the Second Level of the Venerable Realm, the opponent he will face at the Seventh Level will be a Ninth Realm Venerable, and the one he’ll meet at the Eighth Level will be an Early Stage Half-Saint!"
Hearing this, the faces of the disciples both turned solemn. Did this mean Lin Yi would have to defeat an Early Stage Half-Saint to surpass his own record?
That seemed too difficult!
But just at that moment—
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz... outside the Sword Realm, a sudden burst of light flared up, lighting up all levels from the First to the Seventh in rapid succession!
Everyone was astounded!
This meant that Lin Yi had charged into the Eighth Level of the Sword Realm at breakneck speed, effortlessly equaling his past record!
