285: Chapter 222: Whirlwind (5) 285: Chapter 222: Whirlwind (5) Hearing what Tianlian had said, Lin Xing’s heart stirred, and he asked, “Where is the dragon vein?”
Tianlian looked around at the crowd and said, “It’s not convenient to speak here.
Let’s find a quieter place to talk.”
Just then, reporters and dia had already started to quickly approach, clearly wanting to interview Lin Xing who had just won his match.
But in the next mont, they saw Lin Xing and Tianlian’s figures flash, as the two of them kicked up a gust of wind and in the blink of an eye dashed a hundred ters away.
After a few more quick movents, they had completely disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving behind a group of reporters with faces full of annoyance and regret.
Once the two of them arrived at a deserted wilderness where no one was present, Lin Xing asked, “Where is the dragon vein?”
Tianlian nodded and said, “Naturally, it’s within the boundaries of Great Zhou.”
She explained, “The so-called dragon vein is the earth’s vein, which is the geological ridian.”
“Since ancient tis, Shen Zhou of the Central Plains has been vibrant with spiritual energy due to the circulation of its earth veins, facilitating the movent of spiritual chanisms and the changes of yin and yang.”
“If you seek to find the dragon vein, naturally, you must go to the Central Plains to search.”
Lin Xing nodded slightly after listening.
In fact, since the “Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique” required a dragon vein for cultivation, it had also briefly introduced the dragon vein and the thods for finding it.
However, on the one hand, the thods described were rather crude and, on the other hand, both Lin Xing and the officials of Xia Country were lacking in their understanding of the earth’s veins of Great Zhou; thus, they could not find the dragon vein required for cultivation.
Tianlian continued, “However, throughout history, be it emperors, dignitaries, or the various sects and powerful entities, many have been observing and searching for dragon veins to add to their own or their descendants’ fortunes.”
“Many of these people chose to relocate their family tombs to where the dragon vein’s spiritual energies converge, in hopes of receiving imnse fortune and wealth.”
“Relocating family tombs?” Lin Xing frowned and said, “Are you saying that the dragon vein you’re referring to has already had a family tomb moved to it?
If I were to use that dragon vein, wouldn’t that an I’d be desecrating soone else’s ancestral grave?”
Tianlian said, “That is indeed the case, but you needn’t worry about desecrating graves.”
Lin Xing asked in confusion, “Why not?”
Tianlian smiled and said, “Because that’s the ancestral grave of Shi Lin Temple, the final resting place of generations of our high monks.”
“Since you have the permission of Shi Lin Temple to excavate the ancestral grave to access the dragon vein, naturally, there will be no problem.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xing was taken aback and looked at Tianlian with skepticism, saying, “Shi Lin Temple is allowing to dig up your ancestral graves?”
“Alas,” Tianlian sighed, “I know this might sound quite unbelievable, but after I told the senior monks of the temple about your character and deeds, they all were willing to lend you a hand.”
“If the world could have one more individual with supre strength and upstanding character, Shi Lin Temple would consider the damage to its ancestral grave to be of little significance.”
Looking at Tianlian’s righteous deanor, Lin Xing remained half convinced and especially wary due to the repeated cautions he had received about being careful with Shi Lin Temple.
Tianlian seed to notice Lin Xing’s doubt and continued, “If you have any concerns, why not accompany to see the dragon vein first?
Seeing is believing, after all.
You can decide whether or not to take the dragon vein after you have seen it, right?”
anwhile, the impact of Lin Xing’s battle with Fairy Yunxiao was continuing to spread and, with the mounting public opinion, was gradually influencing the Two Realms tournant and even the global situation.
Especially for many powerhouses participating in the Two Realms tournant, Lin Xing’s teoric performance would significantly influence their future choices.
…
Inside the hospital room.
From the TV screen, Hui Ling’s comntary rang out: “…Today’s final martial display, the contestants co from Ming Mountain Sect and Da Guangming Temple…”
Ma Hong, lying on the hospital bed, although watching the TV screen, his thoughts were no longer on it.
“Lin Xing actually defeated Fairy Yunxiao?”
Ma Hong’s mind kept replaying Lin Xing’s performance in the recent battle.
Because he was well aware that he and Lin Xing were enemies with a vendetta, any increase in the latter’s strength was bad news for him.
Not to ntion, the ability to manipulate sand exhibited by Lin Xing was, in Ma Hong’s view, sothing that severely countered him.
He even began to wonder, “A Sword Hero practicing such Taoist skills, could it be that Lin Xing is targeting ?”
Ma Hong shook his head, temporarily suppressing this speculative thought.
“No matter what, Lin Xing’s combat strength has indeed increased trendously, and his ranking in the martial displays will surely exceed my previous estimates.”
“With this, his influence in Xia Country will grow stronger, and considering his consistent attitude towards the dicine produced by the Zhou Tian Sect, it is likely to interfere with my plans with the Divine Dragon Gang.”
The extent of the hindrance and influence this will cause, Ma Hong believed, depended on how far Lin Xing could advance in the upcoming martial displays.
“And how far he can go will naturally depend on his strength.”
“Like the origin of the Taoist skill he displayed today…”
At that instant, various thoughts flashed through Ma Hong’s mind.
While guessing here would lead him nowhere, he thought it better to ask the Great Elder who was well-inford.
Thinking this, he picked up his smartphone next to him and sent a ssage to the Great Elder of the Zhou Tian Sect: Did you watch Lin Xing’s martial arts performance?
Do you know which Taoist skill he was using?
However, he suddenly stopped halfway through typing the ssage, thought for a mont, then imdiately deleted and rewrote it: Great Elder, greetings!
I am not sure if you have been following today’s third martial arts performance.
Regarding the Taoist skill used by Lin Xing, I have so questions I would like to ask.
(Hands pressed together emoji).
Yet after waiting for over ten minutes, there was not the slightest response from the other side.
Ma Hong thought for a mont and sent another ssage to Xia Jianlong: Did you watch Lin Xing’s performance?
Soon after, Xia Jianlong replied: Don’t worry, a re Lin Xing can’t influence the overall situation.
I have already arranged for him to be up against the Ming Mountain Sect in the next match.
At this mont, Ma Hong heard Hui Ling’s voice from the live broadcast: “…the fight has ended, and the winner of this martial arts contest is Daoist Xuanyin from the Ming Mountain Sect.”
“He is also the third strong contender since the start of the combat trials who hasn’t used any firearms, apart from the Sword Heroine and Lin Xing…”
Upon hearing this, Ma Hong looked up and saw the slow-motion replay of the battle.
Watching the process of Xuanyin’s victory, a look of shock gradually appeared in his eyes.
…
On the battlefield of the two realms’ combat trials, today’s fourth fight had already begun.
The contenders were from two of the nine major sects: the Ming Mountain Sect and the Da Guangming Temple.
But Xia Jianlong, who stood to one side of the battlefield, no longer paid much attention to this match.
After all, in his view, the joint conference of the two realms was nothing but a venue for Xingxiao to lead the various sects in dividing the spoils.
The purpose, the process, and the impact of the combat trials had long been transparently arranged through consultations among many powerful figures.
“The senior successors of all sects have already negotiated and arranged the combat trials properly.”
“The most dissatisfied with Lin Xing’s victory surely isn’t the Spirit Treasure Sect, but Xingxiao, who is overseeing the big picture.”
“Because Lin Xing’s victory has affected the original arrangents of the conference of the two realms.”
Xia Jianlong spoke with confidence: “Xingxiao’s intention is to beco the Leader of the Nine Sects Alliance; how could he possibly tolerate Lin Xing’s arbitrary actions?”
He glanced at his smartphone and sighed, “There you have it, Lin Xing will encounter the Ming Mountain Sect in the next match.”
“Xingxiao wants the Ming Mountain Sect to suppress him.”
anwhile, Fan Mingxiu, after a mont’s pause, watched the outco of the combat trial on the live broadcast and said with so surprise, “Did you know in advance that Xuanyin of the Ming Mountain Sect would win this battle?
Where did you get that information?”
Xia Jianlong said with a touch of pride, “Before this conference of the two realms, the senior successors of the sects gathered for a small eting, and we used these secret realm smartphones to set up a group chat.
All the mbers of this group are highly powerful individuals from the third generation.”
“My father is also one of them.”
“However, my father doesn’t like using smartphones much, so I have been managing this account on his behalf.”
Listening to Xia Jianlong’s words, a hint of envy flashed in Fan Mingxiu’s eyes.
The other had a good father, which ant he was practically born at the finish line that Fan Mingxiu himself was striving towards.
It was impossible for Fan Mingxiu not to feel any envy.
But in this mont, he could only suppress his negative emotions and admirably said, “So, Mr.
Xia, you can talk with the senior successors of various sects anyti?”
Xia Jianlong’s expression beca even more smug: “Without my father’s instructions, I would just browse.
I usually don’t send ssages.”
He added as a warning, “I’m telling only you this, so make sure you don’t spread it around.”
…
Inside the hotel.
The Tianfeng Taoist from the Ei Sect was repeatedly watching the slow-motion footage of the combat trials, especially the scene where Lin Xing pressed his hand to the ground and a great deal of runes began to spread across the wilderness.
After watching it many tis, he lifted his head to ask, “Sect Leader, is there a problem?
The Taoist skill used by Lin Xing indeed has power, but it’s just good, nothing more.”
The old Taoist with white beard and hair murmured, “This is not ordinary Five Elents Taoist Skill.”
“What Lin Xing used is the Six Secret Immortal Refining.”
Tianfeng Taoist asked in confusion, “Six Secret Immortal Refining?
What is that?”
“This matter relates to an event from our sect’s past,” the Ei Sect Leader seed to fall into a mory for a mont before speaking slowly, “It was during the ti of our previous, previous Sect Leader.”
“At that ti, the Sect Leader had obtained the ‘Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’ and intended to promote it within the sect, to leave a branch that specialized in this supre art.”
“However, it was discovered that this supre art had a major problem, and in the end, it was taken to the tomb.”
“A few years later, a great demon stealthily invaded Ei, challenging the sect’s experts to a sword fight.”
“At that ti, Ei was already one of the world’s nine great sects and considered by many in the martial world as the number one Sword Dao Holy Land; the sect was full of Sword Heroes and Swordsn.
How could they tolerate the provocation of that demon?”
