Compared to this choice, he would rather die himself.
So, he could only start from Baili Fengzhi or the commandant of the Northwest Pass, but...
"Wait... It seems there might still be a chance?"
Suddenly, an odd thought surfaced in Lin Yue's mind, "If it's , it should be possible, at least more reliable than pretending to be Baili Fengzhi..."
After pondering for a long while, he already had the embryonic form of a plan in his mind.
However, the specifics of the plan and its details still needed to be slowly considered and gradually perfected.
"But there seems to be another difficulty."
The message left by the All-Spirit Blood Jade was crystal clear in Lin Yue's memory.
"The owner of this jade pendant said that those with all spirit veins open have the easiest success, but I... don't possess any cultivation aptitude, and lack any spirit veins completely. What are the chances of success?"
He furrowed his brows tightly.
Whether it was a Martial Cultivator, a person of the Three Religions, or any other Cultivation Technique, one needed to have spirit veins to cultivate.
They are channels through which the body transports the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, similar to the routes used to transport materials in his previous life. The more spirit veins one possesses, the faster their cultivation speed naturally.
Even with just one spirit vein, though the cultivation speed is slow, there was still hope of making a breakthrough.
But if one doesn't have even a single spirit vein, then breaking through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier was impossible.
"I wonder how much possibility there is for success."
Lin Yue sighed, and glanced again at the All-Spirit Blood Jade in his hand, "According to that voice, this method is against the heavenly order, and there is only one chance. If it fails, perhaps even another piece of All-Spirit Blood Jade would be useless..."
Although that deep voice had mentioned 'two jade pendants', clearly there were two pieces of All-Spirit Blood Jade made, but after so many years, who knew where the other piece was.
"Regardless, having hope is better than none, I should return to Qingdu first."
Lin Yue took a deep breath and calmed himself down before taking one last look around the stone chamber and then stood up.
The secret door of the Cave Mansion slowly closed, and now the inside of the Cave Mansion became completely empty.
Including the once placed dilapidated dark blue meditation cushion in front of the exquisitely beautiful woman's statue, which had also vanished.
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Yue, now transformed into that jade-like beauty, had just crossed over the rusting iron sword, which suddenly emitted a clear, urgent sword cry.
Did it seem reluctant?
Lin Yue faintly discerned the emotion within the sword cry.
He paused for a moment, turned his head towards the rusting iron sword and said, "Wait here for now, I'll come to collect you after a while."
His voice now was that sweet, mushy tone of the jade-like beauty.
And the rusted iron sword, seemingly understanding his words, gradually ceased its sword cries.
A smile appeared on Lin Yue's lips.
I will come back alive.
As Lin Yue left the cave, stepping out of the illusion array Barrier, the sun had already begun to set.
Today, when he left Qingdu with Xiahong Lie, it was just past the hour of si, while now it was already three to four hours later. If he had come out any later, it would probably have been dark.
"Good, it's not going to take an hour to return, and I should make it back before nightfall."
Lin Yue, carrying the once again transformed Xiahong Lie, fast-walked through the Stone Forest, down the low hill, and soon found the carriage.
The evening glow reflected the setting sun, the sky turned a deep drunk-like red, gradually being consumed by the deepening twilight, and not much later, the last ray of light would be swallowed by the horizon.
At the West City Gate of Qingdu.
A simple gray-covered double horse carriage, just before the city gates closed, finally made it back inside the city.
Just making it back before dark, thankfully the daytime in Xiliang was quite long... Lin Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, driving the carriage from Qingque Road all the way home.
Turning around the street corner, just about to reach home, his expression suddenly shifted, and his pupils narrowed sharply.
In the lingering twilight, it was clear that in front of his house's courtyard gate, a troop of Armored Soldiers stood, seemingly waiting for his return.
