Chapter 676: Ancient Truth, Creation Mission
"Lin Xuan's condition is getting worse and worse; we must find a way to cheer him up."
Zhang Wuji nodded in agreement: "Senior Brother is right."
"Senior Hunyuanzi gave his life to save Lin Xuan, not so that he could wallow in self-pity like this."
"We must help him step out of the gloom."
After discussing it, the two decided to adopt a special method—combat training.
"Lin Xuan, we cannot keep hiding here," Nezha said to Lin Xuan.
"There are many powerful demonic beasts in the Desolate Domain; they are perfect for honing combat skills."
"Besides, the beast cores and materials of demonic beasts are very valuable; we need these resources."
Lin Xuan raised his head, his eyes still filled with dead silence.
"Whatever, there's nothing else to do anyway."
Although his attitude was negative, at least he was willing to participate in the action.
This made Nezha and Zhang Wuji breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The three left the cave and began searching for suitable prey in the Desolate Domain.
There were indeed many demonic beasts in the Desolate Domain, ranging from the lowest-level sand wolves to high-level desert giant scorpions; everything one could ask for was there.
The first battle was against a pack of sand wolves.
These demonic beasts only had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was not worth mentioning to the three of them.
But Lin Xuan's performance in the battle was worrying.
Although his attacks were effective, they clearly lacked their previous agility.
The power of his Creation Bloodline was released reluctantly, as if he were absent-minded.
"Lin Xuan, what are you thinking about?" Nezha asked, turning his head after spearing the last sand wolf to death.
"That sand wolf just now almost bit you, yet you didn't react at all."
Lin Xuan looked down at the bloodline power in his hands, his eyes full of confusion.
"I am wondering what the meaning of this power is."
"Master said power can be used for protection, but I used it to kill so many innocent people."
"Now, even if I want to protect others, no one is willing to accept my protection."
Zhang Wuji walked over and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder.
"Senior Hunyuanzi's words were correct; the key to power lies in how it is used."
"It wasn't your fault that you lost control before, but now, the choice of how to use this power is in your hands."
"Even if no one understands you now, one day they will understand."
In the battles against demonic beasts, Lin Xuan gradually began to think about how to better control the Creation Bloodline.
He no longer relied on pure violence as before, but tried to combine power with technique.
Every strike was carefully considered, and every bit of power was used where it mattered most.
This precise control was much more difficult than the previous violent release, but the effect was also better.
A month passed, and the three relied on each other for survival in the Desolate Domain.
They faced various dangers together, and their bond of brotherhood grew deeper.
Nezha would tell interesting stories when Lin Xuan was feeling down.
Zhang Wuji would find ways to get food when everyone was hungry.
And Lin Xuan gradually stepped out of the gloom, beginning to care about the safety of his two friends.
"Thank you," Lin Xuan suddenly said to the two one night.
"If it weren't for you, I might have gone crazy long ago."
"Although Master is dead, I still have friends like you."
"Perhaps this is what he hoped to see."
Nezha and Zhang Wuji looked at each other and smiled; they knew Lin Xuan had finally begun to step out of the gloom.
But the real test was yet to come.
This day, the three encountered a terrifying enemy deep in the Desolate Domain—the Desolate Domain Demon Dragon.
This was an ancient demonic beast whose strength had reached the early stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.
Its massive body was as towering as a mountain, and its dragon scales shimmered with a metallic luster.
A pair of huge dragon eyes were filled with bloodthirsty, fierce light.
"Roar!"
The Demon Dragon let out a roar, and the sound waves struck like a physical force.
The three were shaken, their blood and Qi surging, and they almost couldn't stand steady.
"This guy's strength is too strong!" Nezha's expression was grave.
"We are no match for it, retreat quickly!"
But the Demon Dragon's speed was extremely fast, and its huge dragon claw had already slammed down.
If they were hit by this claw, the three would surely die.
Just at this life-or-death moment, a familiar warmth suddenly surged within Lin Xuan's body.
It was the life essence left behind by his master; although it was already very faint, it awakened again at the critical moment.
Master's voice seemed to ring in his ears:
"The key to power lies in how it is used."
"A true powerhouse is someone who can control their own destiny."
Light reignited in Lin Xuan's eyes as his Genesis bloodline resonated with his master's life essence.
But this time, it was not a violent release, but a perfect fusion.
Golden light enveloped Lin Xuan, and his aura began to climb sharply.
He broke through directly from the early stage of the Great Vehicle stage to the middle stage, and it was still rising.
"Master, I understand now," Lin Xuan said softly.
"Power is not meant for destruction, but for creating hope."
He pushed out with a palm, and the power of Genesis transformed into a golden dragon, colliding head-on with the Desolate Domain Demon Dragon.
The two giant dragons fought in the air, erupting with a heaven-shaking roar.
After defeating the Desolate Domain Demon Dragon, the three of them entered its lair to search for valuable spoils.
The Demon Dragon's lair was located in a deep cave, piled everywhere with glittering Golden Treasures.
All kinds of precious ores, Dharma Artifacts, and Pills were available in abundance, clearly the collection of this ancient demonic beast over many years.
"We're rich!" Nezha said excitedly.
"These things are enough to last us a long time."
Zhang Wuji also nodded in agreement: "With these resources, we can purchase better equipment and Pills."
But Lin Xuan's attention was drawn to a strange discovery deep within the lair.
At the very back of the pile of Golden Treasures, there was an area deliberately protected by the Demon Dragon.
There were no Golden Treasures there, only an ancient teleportation Array.
The teleportation Array had existed for countless years, and the stone Array patterns were covered in moss.
But what was most striking was that the Array was engraved with mysterious Runes they had never seen before.
These Runes were ancient and complex, emitting a faint glow.
When Lin Xuan approached, the Genesis bloodline within his body suddenly produced a strong resonance.
The power in his bloodline began to stir, as if something were summoning him.
"What is this?" Nezha walked over curiously.
"These Runes look very ancient, not at all like the characters of the current Immortal Realm."
Zhang Wuji carefully observed the teleportation Array: "Judging from the structure of this Array, it should have a history of over ten thousand years."
"Being able to be preserved until now shows that its creator's strength was extremely powerful."
Lin Xuan reached out his hand and lightly touched the edge of the teleportation Array.
Instantly, the Runes erupted with brilliant light, resonating with the Genesis bloodline in his body.
Blurred images flashed through his mind one after another.
An ancient battlefield, a giant demon god, and a blurred figure fighting against evil forces.
"Did you see that?" Lin Xuan asked in shock.
"See what?" Nezha and Zhang Wuji looked at him in confusion.
In their eyes, the teleportation Array had only flashed once, and there was nothing else unusual.
