Chapter 137: The Ghost Immortal Is Nothing
Under the gaze of the crowd.
In Wan Jian Lin, ten thousand swords flew together.
Suddenly, an immortal sword emerged, and the sword intent it radiated seemed not to exist in Jiuzhou, nor was it tolerated by Jiuzhou.
"What sword is that?"
"Is this a Superior Grade Dao Sword?"
Many disciples and Elders did not understand; they only knew it was an extremely formidable sword.
"The Heavenly Sword has truly appeared in the world." The Supreme Elder was shocked; he looked at that young man, his tone brook no doubt, "I want to take him as my disciple!"
Beside him, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect felt both joy and shock in his heart.
What brought joy was that the Heavenly Sword Sect had finally produced a peerless genius.
Such a genius far surpassed the current Sword Child of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
I fear that even if Pan were to come, his talent would not be equal to this Lin Chan.
In the War of Immortal Slaying three thousand years later, the Heavenly Sword Sect shall surely have a share of the merit.
There is no passage of time in Immortal Cultivation.
And in recent years, Jiuzhou has been surging with wind and clouds, and countless heaven-gifted geniuses have appeared.
The hidden sect, Spear God Valley, has only one successor per generation.
This sect, if it cannot find a suitable disciple, would rather let the Sect Master die of old age than recruit a disciple.
Instead, they would bury the inheritance of the Spear God underground, waiting for someone fated.
Precisely because of this, the inheritance of Spear God Valley is often broken, yet every once in a while, its prestige rises again.
Now, Spear God Valley has recruited another successor.
Besides Spear God Valley, the major powers of Jiuzhou, such as Wind God Ridge, Hidden Blade Villa, and so on, have all seen the emergence of many peerless heaven-gifted geniuses.
Those veteran heaven-gifted geniuses, such as Pan and Ji Wuhen, have had their reputations overshadowed and have gone into hiding.
Jiuzhou has ushered in a magnificent great era.
In the Medicine Saint Sect, Lin Chao stretched his back.
He put the thousands of Spirit Stones that Shi Qing had returned to him into his storage bag, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes: "These incarnations have finally found their own paths."
His forty-eight incarnations had gone to various parts of Jiuzhou and joined major sects.
Of course, the incarnation that remained in the Medicine Saint Sect was cooperating with Zimo on experiments.
At this moment, Lin Chao's eyes flickered.
"Master is looking for me?"
Lin Chao's figure flashed, and not long after, he appeared inside a large cave dwelling.
At this moment, Zimo had messy hair and disheveled clothes, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
"My experiment has finally made progress!"
Zimo wore a crazed smile: "I have finally extracted a trace of the Spirituality from the Dragon Blood."
Zimo's research was to study the residual Spirituality on the Dragon Blood.
This drop of Dragon Blood was something he had obtained by chance.
For so many years, researching this drop of Dragon Blood had been fraught with difficulties.
The biggest problem was that the Dragon Blood contained immense energy and pollution, which ordinary people could not touch at all.
But Xiang Lin was different; the flame he drew out during the Burning Spirit Potion was a Gold flame.
It had a high degree of compatibility with the Dragon Blood, so there was no need to worry about the Dragon Blood harming him.
However, for the sake of safety, he still had Xiang Lin refine the Fen Kui Dan to create an incarnation.
Beside him, Lin Chao spoke: "Congratulations, Master."
Zimo restrained his smile and continued: "Extracting the Spirituality is only the first step; the subsequent research will still be extremely difficult."
A look of hesitation appeared on Zimo's face.
Indeed, his research was not tolerated by the laws of heaven.
He looked at Lin Chao, his gaze becoming serious: "Xiang Lin... or should I say Xiang Long, can I trust you?"
Lin Chao was slightly stunned; he had not expected his identity to be exposed.
However, he was not nervous.
He did not perceive any hostility from Zimo.
"I do not know what aspect of trust Master is referring to," Lin Chao replied calmly.
Whether to trust or not depends on one's stance and one's emotions.
Zimo looked at Lin Chao, his gaze complex: "The subsequent research cannot be done by me alone; I need your help.
Only if you are willing to help me will I tell you about my follow-up research."
"If Master's research does not cause endless slaughter, why should I not trust you, Master?" Lin Chao had his own principles of conduct.
He was naturally willing to follow Zimo's research, provided it did not violate his own heart.
Although Zimo was only a Grandmaster-level alchemist, after so many years of getting along, Lin Chao discovered that this master was far from as simple as he appeared.
King-Level Alchemists were far inferior to Zimo in terms of knowledge mastery.
A satisfied smile appeared on Zimo's face: "Good, Xiang Lin, I will tell you about my research now."
Lin Chao stood where he was, listening quietly.
Zimo began: "All living beings possess Spirituality; if Spirituality is missing, they must perish."
"Mm." Lin Chao nodded; he had already learned this information from reading records.
"It can be said that Spirit is the foundation upon which all things stand; it is the Spirit that endows living beings with vitality."
"My... wife Wei An, once had her Spirituality stripped away during a great battle, and ultimately perished."
"I was unwilling to accept this; for so many years, I have been researching Spirituality, all for the sake of... resurrecting my wife."
Elder Zimo's eyes were filled with endless memories, his expression desolate and sighing.
"Unfortunately, how difficult it is to mend Spirituality."
"In the end, I finally discovered an opportunity."
"That is Dragon Blood!"
Zimo's voice became agitated.
Before him lay a single drop of Dragon Blood.
"This drop of Dragon Blood is different from Ordinary Dragon Blood."
"It contains abundant Spirituality; placing this drop of blood beside Wei An, the speed at which Wei An's Spirituality was fading actually began to slow down."
"I had a bold conjecture in my heart: if I were to strip the Spirituality from this Dragon Blood and integrate it into Wei An's body to nourish her Spirituality, could Wei An be resurrected?"
Zimo's voice was incomparably agitated, and his expression was also incomparably frantic.
Lin Chao frowned: "The Spirituality of all things is different; there is no such thing as nourishing spirit with spirit."
"Could it be that the owner of this Dragon Blood was so powerful, a True Immortal, that they could nourish spirit with spirit?" Lin Chao voiced his own doubt.
Zimo chuckled: "The spirit of a True Immortal is nothing more than that; how could it nourish spirit?"
Mentioning True Immortals, Zimo did not seem to have much reverence.
As he spoke, the cave dwelling suddenly shook.
A Crystal Coffin appeared before Lin Chao.
Inside the Crystal Coffin, a young woman was lying quietly, looking lifelike.
Most importantly, a vast and formidable aura emanated from this woman's body.
That aura was as deep as the sea, something even a cultivator of the True Spirit Realm could not compare to.
Seeing this woman, a look of shock flashed in Lin Chao's eyes: "Master, what realm is Mistress Wei An in?"
Even the current Lin Chao could not discern this woman's realm.
Zimo's gaze was complex: "True Spirit Above."
"Does that not mean, Master, that you are comparable to a Ghost Immortal?" Lin Chao was shaken internally.
Ghost Immortals are the source of evil in Jiuzhou.
Every period of time, Ghost Immortals harvest Jiuzhou.
A trace of mockery flashed in Zimo's eyes: "Ghost Immortals are nothing; they are merely puppets."
Lin Chao was even more shaken internally.
The Seven Fragrances Empress is the strongest in Jiuzhou, yet even she could only reach the Gatekeeper, and could not even defeat the Gatekeeper.
Above the Gatekeeper are Ghost Immortals, and according to Master Zimo, there are even stronger beings above the Ghost Immortals.
Then how could Jiuzhou possibly defeat the powerful beings above the Heavenly Vault?
Even if one hundred geniuses like Pan appeared, they would likely be no match for a Ghost Immortal.
Thanks to 【Wei Ai Er You】 for the tip, thank you!
