Chapter 428: Young Yan Beicheng

"No need to be formal, come in."

Lin Chuan beckoned the two into the house, "Sit."

"Alright."

The old woman, who had weathered many hardships and seen the world, sat down unhurriedly, her murky eyes revealing a dead aura.

It seemed the days were few.

"Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, can my old soul still be used for a transaction?" Yan Xiu asked.

"Of course."

Lin Chuan smiled, "Whether a soul is pure has nothing to do with the Physical Body."

"Grandma, no, I don't want to become stronger, let's go, don't look for this Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion."

The boy standing beside the old woman began to cry.

He kept pulling at the old woman's arm.

But he was only a novice who had just entered the Legend Realm, how could he possibly move an old woman of the Void God Realm?

"Yan Beicheng, Grandma doesn't have many days left; eventually she must leave you. This is the last thing Grandma can do for you."

The old woman, with a pained heart, wiped the boy's tears away.

"Our lineage is too weak; after I go, no one will be able to support you. Everything will depend on you alone."

Having finished, the old woman waved her hand, causing the boy to fall into a deep sleep, then turned her gaze back to Lin Chuan.

"Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, my request may be somewhat abrupt; please do not mind."

"No problem."

Lin Chuan smiled, "Since I dared to claim that all matters can be solved without worry, I naturally do not mind any words from a guest."

"Thank you, Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion."

The old woman said, "I wish the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion to devise a suitable cultivation method for my grandson Yan Beicheng, so that he can continue his practice and preserve his life."

Lin Chuan calmly said, "Please be specific."

"Alright."

The old woman began, "Although I belong to the Spirit Clan, I am more like the Human Race; within our lineage, the Spirit Clan bloodline flows very sparsely."

"This prevents our lineage from practicing the Spirit Clan's strongest dual-bloodline secret art."

"Yet because of the Spirit Clan bloodline, our practice of Human Race cultivation methods is also inefficient."

"Until many years ago, the ancestors of our lineage derived a technique called Spirit Master General Canon, a Divine Power that can command shadow souls and commune with the nether."

"The emergence of the Spirit Master General Canon gave our lineage a brief brilliance."

"But not long after, the flaws of the Spirit Master General Canon were exposed; because of contact with shadow souls and the nether, our lineage's lifespan became extremely short."

"It seemed as if we were cursed."

"By today, our lineage is on the brink of extinction."

"Yan Beicheng is the only remaining seed of our lineage."

At this point, the old woman could not hold back her tears, her sorrow overwhelming.

"Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, I know this request is excessive, but I have heard you have great attainment on the Soul Dao."

"Perhaps... perhaps only you can save us."

"Please, I beg you."

The old woman had once asked the Spirit Clan's great immortal Wang Xian for assistance, but it was of no help; she could only place her hope in Lin Chuan.

Or rather, she hoped the forces behind Lin Chuan possessed the power to overturn destiny.

"This matter is not difficult."

To the old woman's surprise, the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion agreed in a single breath.

Lin Chuan is just that confident.

If it were another Divine Power he had to devise, it might require some effort.

Spirit Master General Canon?

He knows it all too well.

In the Forbidden Love dream Reincarnation, he was born into the Human Race Spirit Master Lineage, whose proud technique is the Spirit Master General Canon.

However, he was abandoned by the Spirit Master Lineage.

Later he comprehended the Burial Spirit Domain, which surpasses the Spirit Master General Canon.

At first he thought the Burial Spirit Domain originated from the Spirit Master General Canon, but as the dream Reincarnation unfolded, he realized the Burial Spirit Domain is far superior.

Yet the two are so similar.

Overall, the Spirit Master General Canon is filled with shadows of the Burial Spirit Domain.

"I see."

Lin Chuan was enlightened, "It was destined in the unseen heavens."

Now it appears that in the ancient first age, although he never directly met Yan Beicheng, the latter must have, by some chance, glimpsed his Burial Spirit Domain,

thereby gaining inspiration to refine the Spirit Master General Canon.

Only in this life, after the fate line was disturbed, did they finally meet formally.

"Show me the Spirit Master General Canon," Lin Chuan said calmly.

"Alright."

The old woman handed over an ancient book, "Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, this contains the Spirit Master General Canon."

The Spirit Master Lineage exists in name only.

Keeping a cultivation method is meaningless, and the old woman also believes the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion will not covet the incomplete technique of the Spirit Master Lineage.

Lin Chuan took the ancient book.

The Deity's consciousness swept over page after page of mental seals.

With just one glance, he could see the many flaws in the Spirit Master General Canon.

No wonder it was corroded by wandering souls and cursed by the Nether Law.

Those who cultivate the Soul Path in the world are exceedingly few, because the Nether Hell is so unique—it belongs to Reincarnation and stands apart from the two great spirit realms.

It is even more unique than the Star Ring Realm.

This makes those who seek to comprehend the Nether Law and the Reincarnation Law more prone to backlash.

"Give me seven days."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment; since he is already extremely knowledgeable about the Burial Spirit Domain, having him merely perfect the Spirit Master General Canon is too easy.

Seven days.

To him, within the dream cultivation space, it equals seven years.

It is enough for him to extrapolate the Spirit Master General Canon to its pinnacle, forging a path toward Immortality.

As for an even stronger state, that is too difficult.

Ascending to Immortality ultimately requires Yan Beicheng to comprehend it himself.

However, given Yan Beicheng's talent—being the millennium's second in the Soul Path beneath him—he absolutely has hope of ascending in this era.

"Seven days?"

Lin Chuan said it lightly, and Yan Xiu was immensely shocked.

For a moment, no one knew whether the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion truly had confidence or was bragging.

"Whether satisfied or not, it will become clear after seven days."

Lin Chuan gave no further explanation, waved his hand, and said, "After seven days, bring him again."

"Fine... fine."

The old woman dared not speak further.

At this moment, she could only trust the Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

Soon, the old woman led the young Yan Beicheng away.

Lin Chuan re-entered the dream cultivation space.

【You begin to extrapolate a technique called Spirit Master General Canon.】

【For you, who are deeply versed in the Soul Path, extrapolating the Spirit Master General Canon is too simple.】

【In just one year, you completed all the flaws in the Spirit Master General Canon and elevated it to a higher level.】

【In the third year, you raised the Spirit Master General Canon to an entirely new height.】

【In the fifth year, you discovered a way for ordinary cultivators to practice the Nether Path without curse, namely by balancing it with the Sword Path of Killing.】

【Not everyone is like you, who knows the Nether Hell and the Reincarnation Dao as if by heart; ordinary cultivators who wish to comprehend the Nether must inevitably pay a price.】

【The Sword Path of Killing can cleverly balance the Nether backlash.】

【This is the marvelous aspect of the Dao's harmony.】

【In the seventh year, you extrapolated the Spirit Master General Canon to its ultimate pinnacle.】

【You left the dream cultivation space.】

Things proceeded as smoothly as Lin Chuan had expected.

When the agreed seven days elapsed, Lin Chuan saw at the end of the training ground street two figures—an old and a young—slowly approaching.
