Chapter 769: Chapter 767: King’s Inheritance
For a moment, Lin Xuan was under an unimaginable attack.
The power of will was too strong, though it was only a sliver, it was still incredibly formidable, leaving Lin Xuan unable to withstand it.
The next moment, his Great Dragon Sword Soul surged within him, turning into a dragon-shaped Sword Shadow and swiftly stabbing into the illusion, contending against that willpower.
Space shattered, the illusion vanished, Lin Xuan’s body relaxed, and he gasped for breath.
At this time, an authoritative voice came through, “Eh? Such formidable attack power!”
“This power, it’s very similar to that thing, could it really have appeared again?”
This voice echoed in Lin Xuan’s mind as if asking, yet also as if talking to itself.
“Forget it, thinking about these things is useless,” the voice sighed, then continued, “Kid, you’re not bad, you’re qualified to comprehend the stone statue I left behind.”
After finishing speaking, the voice gradually faded away.
Lin Xuan sensed the overwhelming will of slaughter around him slowly disappearing, no longer attacking him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged in front of the Blood Sword King stone statue on the stone platform, starting to close his eyes and meditate.
He possessed the Sword of Slaughter and had some understanding of the path of slaughter, so it was somewhat easier for him to comprehend.
Moreover, he had received recognition from the Blood Sword King, so before long, he sensed the Blood Sword Inheritance within it.
Information flooded the sky, turning into a Blood Sword, entering Lin Xuan’s body.
For a moment, Lin Xuan felt countless messages chaotically surging in his mind, and had his will not been firm and his Soul Power strong, he would have likely fainted by now.
After enduring for a while, he finally completely received the messages.
The King’s Inheritance was extraordinary, so right now he had only received it, and to truly comprehend it, he would need to undergo arduous cultivation later.
Standing up, Lin Xuan bowed respectfully three times to the Blood Sword King’s stone statue.
Then, he turned and left.
By now, two days had passed, and there was only one day left,
So, Lin Xuan decided to take a look at some of the other stone statues.
Among them, the inheritances of the Golden Spear King and Ba Dao King were different from his Sword Dao, so he directly abandoned them.
He set his targets on the stone statues of the Sky Opening King and Fire Spirit King.
This time he wasn’t seeking an inheritance but was hoping to comprehend one or two Martial Arts moves.
Lin Xuan wasted no time, heading first to the stone statue of the Sky Opening King, and sat down to contemplate.
In the Illusion Realm, a tall figure stood beside him, each punch and palm strike capable of tearing the heavens, causing terrifying attacks.
From these moves, Lin Xuan derived a Fist Technique, the Sky Opening Fist.
Fierce and brave, unstoppable.
With the remaining half-day, he went to the Fire Spirit King, paying close attention to his contemplation.
This contemplation deepened his understanding of the Fire Intent Realm, especially that hint of Fire Will, which had a profound effect on him.
It advanced his Great Perfection of the Fire Intent Realm and even brought him to the verge of forming an embryonic state of the Fire Soul.
Of course, becoming a true Fire Soul would still take some time.
Another gain was the Vermilion Bird Seal.
Lin Xuan, by contemplating the stone statue of the Fire Spirit King, created the Vermilion Bird Sky Extreme, the second form of the Vermilion Bird Seal, with extraordinary power.
After completing his contemplation, Lin Xuan stood up, ready to leave.
This time, the gains were substantial, far beyond his expectations.
Especially the inheritance of the Blood Sword King, which had benefited him immensely. With dedicated contemplation, he would definitely be incredibly formidable in the path of slaughter.
Before long, the three days were up, and Lin Xuan was teleported out.
A white light flickered, and he returned to the True Spirit Hall.
“How did it go, did you receive any inheritance?” the Guardian Elder asked.
Facing the Guardian Elder’s eager inquiry, Lin Xuan didn’t hide anything, after all, he would need to make use of these Martial Arts inheritances in the future.
Disciple received the Blood Sword Slaughter Inheritance from the Blood Sword King, Lin Xuan said.
“Really got it!” The Guardian Elder was shocked. He had just been asking routinely, without much hope.
But unexpectedly, the young man before him had truly acquired the King’s Inheritance.
“Good, good!” the Guardian Elder applauded with laughter, “Lin Xuan, isn’t it? You’ve really done quite well!”
“To obtain the King’s Inheritance is both your fortune and destiny. You must cherish it well!”
“Disciple understands,” Lin Xuan replied respectfully.
After that, he left the True Spirit Hall and returned to the New Student Courtyard.
Wang Li and others were waiting in the courtyard.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Xuan asked.
“This time, we’ve recruited another fifty people. Our Dragon Sword Pavilion now has over eighty members,” Wang Li reported.
“Very good,” Lin Xuan nodded, “Recruiting members is not only about their strength, but most importantly their character.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Xuan, I understand!” said Wang Li.
“Brother Xuan, there’s another thing. In the past three days, a number of old clubs have come to recruit people, and a few of them wanted to take over our Dragon Sword Pavilion, but I firmly refused.”
“Take over?” Lin Xuan frowned, “These people really have some wild ideas!”
“From now on, reject such matters directly!” Lin Xuan said gravely, “Dragon Sword Pavilion will not be subordinate to any power!”
Everyone responded in unison.
“Right, who came to recruit?” Lin Xuan asked again.
“Blue Star Pavilion, Red Maple Society,” replied Wang Li, adding that the Red Maple Society had come twice with a very aggressive attitude.
“Red Maple Society?” Lin Xuan frowned.
“Yes, apparently the leader of the Red Maple Society is someone from the Red Leaf Valley, and many of its members are from there as well. They are quite domineering.”
“Red Leaf Valley!” Lin Xuan sneered, recalling those overbearing disciples from Red Leaf Valley during the academy’s assessment.
He had thought there would be no further interaction, but now they had shown up again.
He would let it go this time, but if they dared to come again with talks of takeover, they shouldn’t blame him for being impolite!
After understanding the events of the past three days, Lin Xuan let Wang Li and the others leave. He needed to properly digest his recent gains.
Back in his room, Lin Xuan released the Dark Red Divine Dragon and the Snow White Monkey, then commenced closed-door cultivation.
This seclusion lasted half a month.
During this time, Lin Xuan pondered over the Blood Sword Slaughter Inheritance, the Sky Opening Fist, and the second form of the Vermilion Bird Seal, making certain progress.
He had cultivated both the Sky Opening Fist and the second form of the Vermilion Bird to the realm of Small Success. As for the Blood Sword Slaughter Inheritance, he merely grasped the First Layer.
The King’s Inheritance was different from other martial arts and even more difficult than Earth Rank Martial Arts, so it couldn’t be rushed.
Moreover, he had reached a bottleneck in his understanding of these martial arts and needed to fight to progress.
That day, he opened the door and stepped into the courtyard to breathe in the fresh air.
In the neighboring courtyard, Murong Qingcheng saw Lin Xuan come out and huffed lightly.
“You, you finally came out!” Murong Qingcheng reproached sweetly.
“Hmph, you don’t keep your word. What about the alchemy you promised to help me with?”
“Oh!” Lin Xuan slapped his forehead, having nearly forgotten about it.
“Are the spiritual medicines ready?”
“They’ve been ready for a while, just waiting for you!” she said.
“Alright, let me take a look.” Lin Xuan’s figure flickered, moving to Murong Qingcheng’s courtyard.
“Come in,” Murong Qingcheng huffed lightly and then turned to walk into the house.
Lin Xuan followed her in.
Her room, unlike his, was decorated exquisitely, filled with fragrance that intoxicated the senses.
“These are the spiritual medicines.” Murong Qingcheng produced a Storage Ring and then brought out a Jade Scroll.
“The Elixir Recipe and pill pattern information are all here.”
