Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 710 – Protective Barrier

Fu Li realized that what he had just said was really provocative, so he corrected as he held his forehead, “Huarong Sword Venerable, don’t misunderstand. I’m just curious.”

Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “I have studied evil creatures before, and specially wrote a booklet called the 《Evil Creatures Survival Guide》. In that booklet, the characteristics, habits, attack methods, and methods to eliminate evil creatures are all available. But after these booklets were distributed, no one cared about them. Up to now, they’ve probably been gathering dust.”

Fu Li was immediately surprised and raised his eyebrows. “That 《Evil Creatures Survival Guide》, which looks like a prank, was actually written by Huarong Sword Venerable? At that time, I also skimmed through it and just thought it was something based on legends and folklore… Why did you call it that name?”

Lin Xuanzhi paused and answered, “This is the title given by the East Empress.”

Fu Li: “…”

At the beginning, Lin Xuanzhi thought about it and planned to give a serious title to the book that specifically explained relevant information about evil creatures. Unexpectedly, when he asked Lin Zhan in the faraway East Land for the relevant information recorded in the divine scripts, he also received a book title suggestion.

Lin Zhan even said without embarrassment that all the cool upper realms named their books this way.

It was just a book title, and it also reflected the meaning of the book, so Lin Xuanzhi didn’t care about it and just used it.

However, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t expect that even if he only charged the cost of production for the book, the 《Evil Creatures Survival Guide》 still had the worst sales in all the major bookstores.

Even if someone bought it, Lin Xuanzhi specifically found a few people who bought it and asked for their opinions, but he got similar answers one after another–

“This book ah, the descriptions of the evil creatures and the world full of evil creatures are really stimulating. Moreover, the evil spirits always pick fights with people with high cultivation. So when that Heaven’s Wail or something comes, won’t those of us with no talent live to the end?”

“Aiya, the imagination of the person who wrote this book is really rich. Just how much free time did the author have? They actually had time to rack their brains to make up these things and write them into a book. It’s truly enviable…… Sigh, let’s not talk about it anymore. I need to start mining now.”

Lin Xuanzhi: “…”

Even the wise and brilliant Huarong Sword Venerable had moments where he was at a loss. It wasn’t like he could just grab the man’s collar and say to him, “Fuck your mother! This book was made from this Venerable’s painstaking efforts after several all-nighters. Everything in it has happened before and will happen soon, so get it into that thick head of yours for Laozi!”

Lin Huarong also felt a little flustered. Not only did he utterly fail in publishing his first book, but he was also ruthlessly mocked by Yan Tianhen.

Fu Li laughed in spite of himself. “The thoughts of the East Empress are really different from that of ordinary people, but the biggest problem with this book is not the title, but the name of the author.”

Lin Xuanzhi frowned, and his eyes sank. “What’s wrong with the name?”

Fu Li said, “If you had dropped the name of Huarong Sword Venerable, this book would definitely be sold out, no matter how expensive it is. But Huarong Sword Venerable just had to drop the name ‘Two Tigers’ as the author, which doesn’t look very reliable.”

Lin Xuanzhi: “…”

“No need.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “Whatever you want to know, I will tell you right now. I heard that Priest Fu Li is the person with the strongest inheritance of Lightning Technique in the Fu family. Is that so?”

Fu Li said: “Usually, I would never dare to answer this, but at such a critical moment, when the enemy is present, I’ll just say yes.”

Fu Li had always been a low-key person. Even though he had a high status in the tiger clan, he always stayed in seclusion for many years inside the temple. There weren’t many people who had seen him in the temple, and he also didn’t care about the prestige of a priest, so it was easy for others to underestimate him.

However, while the tiger clan’s Beast Emperor had changed countless times, the priest had always been the same person, which was enough for people to see how powerful he was.

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “I’m afraid that the evil creatures in the Dragon Tomb are not limited to just these. We should take advantage of the calm before the storm to refine some magic treasures to defend against the evil creatures. What do you think?”

“This is naturally good, but I don’t know anything about crafting treasures.”

Lin Xuanzhi: “It’s enough for Priest to provide Lightning Qi. I’ll do the rest.”

At this time, most of the disciples were sitting on the ground exhausted. Although they were lucky to wipe out all the evil creatures just now, they couldn’t stay here permanently and eventually had to move on.

If they wanted to leave the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, they must first go to the core of the grand seal — that is, the place where the Dragon God’s bones were buried. Along the way, who can guarantee that they will not be attacked by evil creatures again? What if they encounter another wave of monsters?

In full view of the public, Lin Xuanzhi sat cross legged in the desert, quickly made hand seals, and kept the spirit stone that he had divided into thin slices with his spiritual Qi rising and falling around him like rain, while the other hand integrated the Lightning Qi from Fu Li.

In a moment, the spirit stone pieces were filled with blue flowing spiritual Qi.

Because each piece was only a thin slice, not much spiritual Qi was contained in each piece. Lin Xuanzhi reluctantly stopped after making hundreds of pieces.

“Huarong Sword Venerable, how does this work?” Asked a disciple.

Lin Xuanzhi got up and made a demonstration with it.

He threw them at three different spots on a corpse, and then gently squeezed his fist. The corpse was instantly burned to ashes by the exploding pieces.

……

The crowd was silent at first, then cheered: “Huarong Sword Immortal, aren’t you too incredible?”

“Wow, what magic weapon is this? I’ve never seen one before. It’s more lethal than a thunder bomb!”

“Hahaha, with this thing, I’m not afraid of running into those monsters anymore.”

Lin Xuanzhi sent people to distribute the spiritual tablets. “When meeting evil creatures, I suggest that three people form a group. In this way, the probability of success would be relatively high.”

Longyao Lingheng was also given several pieces, and his mood was naturally unspeakably complex.

He looked at Master Yuquan. He wanted to ask something, but he saw that Master Yuquan’s expression was very grave, but it also looked like he was reminiscing about something. He even looked a little crazy. Longyao Lingheng was stunned for a moment.

“Master, what’s the problem?” Longyao Lingheng finally opened his mouth to ask.

Yuquan gently raised the corner of his lips, held the spiritual piece in his hand, and said, “I’m just feeling a little nostalgic. The Lightning technique, the strong spiritual Qi contained in the sparrow spirit itself, and the skills of someone who is a mortal enemy of evil spirits — naturally, the combination of these things can create a weapon that is all evil spirits’ natural enemy.”

Longyao Lingheng frowned. “What is Master talking about? Could it be that Huarong Sword Venerable was born to destroy evil spirits?”

Yuquan put the magic treasures into his sleeves, looked up at Longyao Lingheng, but said with an unknown smile, “Of course I’m talking about Huarong Sword Venerable. Do you know that some people are born with light and will naturally become saviors?”

Longyao Lingheng became more puzzled as he listened, and he always felt that Yuquan seemed to be slightly different from before.

In the past, Yuquan was highly respected, and he never spoke in this roundabout and indirect kind of way. Instead, he was much more blunt and straightforward.

However, before Longyao Lingheng had time to investigate any further, all of a sudden, the tremors of the earth made everyone, including him, almost fall to the ground.

“What happened?”

“What’s the matter?”

After the tremor, calm was restored.

Lin Xuanzhi’s heart suddenly tightened. He looked around quickly and said to Fu Li, “Apart from Ah Hen and Zhan Fengting, who else is missing?”

Fu Li was also disturbed by the shock just now, and said at a loss, “I don’t know.”

Lin Xuanzhi suddenly realized something. “Where is Lord Yuxu?”

Fu Li looked at Longyao Lingheng and Yuquan. He was just about to say “Isn’t he with them?” when his eyes suddenly widened. “Why is Lord Yuxu missing? I thought I just saw him and Yuquan together.”

Lin Xuanzhi lowered his eyes. “I’ll take a look.”

However, before he moved, a sound that made people’s souls tremble fell from the sky and rose from the ground. The sky and the earth cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The yellow sand rustled down along the crack and fell into the endless black abyss. The sky cracked, the clouds were torn into several pieces, and the purplish-black Qi leaked out of the gap.

The disciples screamed one after another. They didn’t know what had happened, but they all felt very frightened.

“Heaven’s Wail.” Lin Xuanzhi’s black eyes captured people. He looked a little incredulous. “The Dragon Tomb Holy Land is going to collapse.”

“What?” Hai Kuanglang suddenly looked back at Lin Xuanzhi, “The Dragon Tomb Holy Land is going to collapse? What the hell is this?”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Someone triggered the Dragon Tomb Holy Land’s barrier. I’m afraid it won’t be able to suppress the evil spirits anymore.”

“Impossible…” Hai Kuanglang said.

“I also think it’s impossible.” Lin Xuanzhi flew up. Both of his hands formed seals, and the Zhige sword was hurled fiercely toward the sky. First, it turned into a blue light and cut through the sky, and then it slid across the sky like an accelerated meteor, directly stabbing into the earth.

“Bang–”

The golden green circle of light diffused rapidly towards the surrounding area. The originally cracked earth stopped and quickly closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The disciples watching this were stunned. What reflected in their pupils was wisps of cyan and gold.

In a moment, the land shrouded by the ring of light had been reconstituted into an intact land. People looked up one after another and saw a long blue sword up to 30 meters tall standing between heaven and earth. It constantly emitted holy golden green light, just like fireflies gathering together.

A semi arc shield shrouded everyone present, allowing the outside sky to tear wider and wider. This place became the only sacred land in the Dragon Tomb Holy Land.

Lin Xuanzhi’s heart was quite heavy, and he felt an indescribable pain.

He didn’t know it before, but ever since he entered the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, he discovered that it was a small world used to seal evil spirits, and the keeper of this small world was actually Longyao, who should’ve already died under Youshan Lingyu’s sword, been skinned, and thrown into the dark abyss.
