Vol 4 Chapter 47: Playing Along With You, and You Took It Seriously?!

"Please speak, Master."

Cold Moon Sword Immortal looked at the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor.

"In the early years, I created a secret technique called ‘Sword-Nurturing Art’."

"This Sword-Nurturing Art is a healing secret technique. Once cast, I will transform into a sword soul and slumber within my natal spiritual sword! During this period, I will lose all consciousness. However, my injuries... will also rapidly recover in this process!"

"Apart from this trait, the Sword-Nurturing Art has another divine ability!"

"That is, during the time I am transformed into a sword soul, anyone cultivating the same technique as me may wield my slumbering sword and temporarily gain my sword dao power, realm, and insight! This realm... is unaffected by my injuries and is based on my peak state!"

"This Sword-Nurturing Art was created out of concern that I might be seriously wounded while the Sword Sect faced a crisis. With this technique, even if I’m gravely injured with less than a tenth of my power remaining, as long as I cast the Sword-Nurturing Art and become a sword soul, then my successor can still exert power close to mine."

"At the same time, in this state, I can rapidly recover from my injuries and regain my peak strength."

"So, the plan I mentioned is for me to become a sword soul, slumber to recover, and for you... to temporarily inherit your Master’s power and capture that Artifact Ghost. With this power and realm, even if you encounter the Hall Master of the Netherworld Hall, you might still be able to fight. What’s more, I may fully recover soon."

"This..." Cold Moon Sword Immortal was stunned. Her Master actually had such a secret technique. A hint of worry appeared on her calm face—she was afraid she might not carry the burden well.

"This divine ability..." Beside them, Lin Jing and Gao Sheng also looked like they'd seen a ghost. This secret art was insane. No wonder she was the top Dao-Seeking sword cultivator of this era.

"Then it’s decided." The Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor gave Cold Moon Sword Immortal no chance to refuse and said, "The Artifact Ghost is of great importance. You must succeed. Wield the sword and wait for my recovery."

"Yes... Master." Cold Moon Sword Immortal nodded helplessly.

Hearing this, Lin Jing and Gao Sheng looked at each other. This... although different from what they initially expected, probably still counted as gaining a Dao-Seeking level combat power, right?

At the same time.

Beyond the skies.

After finishing the conversation with Cold Moon Sword Immortal, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor narrowed her eyes and looked toward a group of top powerhouses also outside the sky.

Second Ancient Emperor!

Demon Emperor of the Demon Court!

Buddha Lord of the Buddhist Sect!

City Lord of Martial Emperor City!

And several other top experts from Dao-Seeking factions.

Just earlier, she had told Lin Jing and the others that the top experts of Tianyuan had experienced a great battle and were all seriously injured.

But these powerhouses—none of them looked injured at all. Each one had a full and vigorous aura.

"Sky-Splitter, your Holy Son of the Demon Court seems to be with his disciple?"

"He told me you were seriously injured and had gone missing?" The burly Demon Emperor of the Demon Court crossed the boundless void and came up behind Li Shaolicheng, asking aloud.

"I informed them."

"Very bad." The Demon Emperor licked his lips and said, "Each of those old guys is full of schemes. Hope those youngsters don’t get toyed to death by them."

The Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor smiled and said, "Didn’t Your Majesty the Demon Emperor agree to this plan too?"

Not long ago, the Second Ancient Emperor suggested that the environment of the Tianyuan Continent was too gentle for these top prodigies.

Once they went to the Origin Realm, who knew what unknown dangers they would face.

He believed that these top prodigies should experience greater pressure while still in the Tianyuan Realm.

Let them face some life-threatening crises without the protection of elders!

Only in this way could they survive better once they reached the Origin Realm.

Many Dao-Seeking experts agreed with the suggestion and coordinated together to stage a collective "serious injury" act.

"With this method, we can also lure out and eliminate some potential threats on the Tianyuan Continent." The Second Ancient Emperor’s words hovered in everyone’s minds.

"Sky-Splitter, what script did you prepare for your disciple? Let me use it as reference." The Demon Emperor of the Demon Court asked.

"Hmm..." The Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor gave a slight smile and said, "Nothing much..."

She hadn’t arranged anything at all. Her disciple had naturally stumbled upon an excellent trial mission—

Competing with the Netherworld Hall for the war artifact spirit created by the Immortal Palace...

In this process, she would become a sword soul, constantly protecting her disciple and letting her gain experience fighting high-level cultivators. Who knows, she might even clash with the old veteran of the Netherworld Hall.

"Heh..." Seeing that the other party didn’t want to say more, the Demon Emperor stopped asking.

Anyway, he felt his own script design would definitely let Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao have lots of fun.

"Maybe it’ll help Lin Jing smoothly cultivate the Heavenly Demon Physique... I’m such a genius." The Demon Emperor patted his shoulder in admiration.

She looked toward the two Demon Emperors from Poseidon Palace and Misty Forest—she had already formed alliances with them, letting those two go provide trials for Lin Jing and the others.

.............

Shortly after.

News of several top Dao-Seeking experts being seriously injured spread rapidly.

Lin Jing’s main body—Tens of Thousands Direction, Immortal-Burying Volcano.

Before Lin Jing could inform the Thunder Dragon Ancestor about the intelligence obtained from his clone, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor had already rushed over in shock.

"Your Highness, this is bad, very bad."

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor arrived anxiously.

"Experts from the Demonic Sky Realm used some unknown method to easily break through the boundary wall maintained by Tianyuan’s top Dao-Seeking experts!"

"Forget ten years, not even one year held up."

Lin Jing felt his memory was muddled.

"Keep going."

"Her Majesty the Demon Emperor joined other Dao-Seeking experts in facing the enemy, but unexpectedly, those Demonic Sky Realm cultivators were too powerful. Though the Dao-Seekers managed to kill them, Her Majesty and several others were seriously injured. And unfortunately, the Yin-Yang Whale Emperor of Poseidon Palace and the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor of Misty Forest suffered relatively light injuries. Just after repelling the external threat, they’re now starting an internal conflict!!"

"Strong cultivators from both Demon Emperor factions have already entered Qingzhou. Seeing Her Majesty severely wounded and her power greatly reduced, they demand the Demon Court hand over the Transformation Technique. Even demon beasts from the ocean and forest have left their territories and are heading to the Western Desert, looking for Your Highness."

"Your Highness, let’s flee."

Lin Jing’s main body took a deep breath, brows tightly furrowed. He didn’t expect the first to strike after the Demon Emperor was injured would be these so-called ‘allies’ who had just fought together.

Still, with the Demon Emperor now injured, this was indeed the best opportunity for Poseidon Palace, Misty Forest, and other beast factions to seize the Transformation Technique.

"This time it’s for real, huh."

After being tricked by the Illusion Fungus once, encountering a similar situation again made Lin Jing feel a strange sense of unreality.

But this time, he had already received intel from the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, so it should be undeniably real. Lin Jing instantly felt the pressure surge—but thankfully, he had already completed the Heavenly Physique...

"Run? Where would we run to." Lin Jing slowly spoke. "We can’t leave yet."

"I still have unfinished business in the Western Desert."

Lin Jing didn’t know when Her Majesty the Demon Emperor would recover her strength, but he knew that right now, if he wanted to help the Demon Court through this crisis, there was only one way.

Artifact Spirit!

Relying on the Heavenly Demon Physique would cost him too much—it could only be used in desperation.

But there was another way. As long as he and Sword Immortal Feng Ning could find the Ultimate Artifact Spirit, then he could borrow it to activate the Demon Court’s celestial artifact and blast Poseidon Palace and Misty Forest with it, unleashing divine might...
