Chapter 1599 - Divine Tortoise Transformation
The Sword Sect established its sect with swords, while the Heavenly de Pavilion established its sect with des. Before the Profound Sky Sect rose, the Heavenly de Pavilion was the Sword Sect’s greatest rival. In the Ancient Barren Domain, the Sword Sect was the strongest in the sword, and the Heavenly de Pavilion was the strongest in terms of the de.
Mu Chuan once told him that the existing powerful sects in the Ancient Barren Domain all had an ancient force supporting them. The fact that the Heavenly de Pavilion hadn’t declined after all these years was enough to prove it.
“See the leader of that party?” Mu Xueqin said beside Lin Yun. “That person is the strongest Golden Generation genius of the Heavenly de Pavilion, Xiao Kui. He already grasped the Firmament de Intent two years ago, and he’s a ruthless person.”
“Xiao Kui…” Lin Yun followed Mu Xueqin’s gaze and saw a grey-robed youth beside several Samsara Edict Realm geniuses. He had rough skin despite his young age, and one could tell that he had undergone a lot from his face. Furthermore, he had a pair of sharp eyes. He could sense that Xiao Kui had a powerful de intent in his body, and his cultivation was at the fourth-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm.
“I heard that he has reached the ninth stage in the Heavenly de Pavilion’s Heavenly Origin de Technique. This is a terrifying high-grade ghost spirit martial technique. If he reaches the Samsara Edict Realm andpletes the de technique, it can be a dragon spirit martial technique!” Mu Xueqin continued to whisper. “Remember to be careful if you run into him.”
With surprise shing through his pupils, Lin Yun nodded his head. It might be troublesome if he faced a high-grade ghost spirit de technique before his improvement in the Carefree 9 Swords.
While Lin Yun was examining Xiao Kui, two gazes also fell on him. They came from Xiao Kui and Nangong Ze. As Nangong Ze looked at Lin Yun, he whispered in Xiao Kui’s ears.
Xiao Kui fell into deep thoughts upon hearing Nangong Ze’s words. When he examined Lin Yun, a sharp light shed across his pupils that streaked across the distance between them. Lin Yun didn’t move, but he circted the sword souls on his forehead and resolved that de intent.
“Interesting.” Xiao Kui smiled. “You’re right. This person wasn’t just lucky to defeat Huang Xuan, and he’ll only be stronger now. But he’s still tender and shouldn’t havee to the Ancient Barren Battlefield. Let’s go.”
The Heavenly de Pavilion and Sword Sect ran into each other, and their Samsara Edict Realm elders nodded at each other before they brushed by and disappeared into Heavenly Barren City.
When the surrounding geniuses saw the two powerful sects bumping into each other, mes were zing in their pupils. With the Sword Sect and Heavenly de Pavilion’s arrival, this became a sign that the Ancient Barren Battlefield, which was held once every two decades, had gone into a countdown.
Under Chen Lei’s lead, the Sword Sect’s party entered the Sword Sect’s branch in Heavenly Barren City. He told everyone not to cause trouble before the Ancient Barren Battlefield opened. The Sword Sect was strong, but Heavenly Barren City had all kinds of people, and no one could be sure that someone would dare to make a move against the powerful sect’s disciples.
After several days of travel, Lin Yun was somewhat exhausted and was nning to find a room to rest. Meanwhile, Mu Qingqing was organizing a group to stroll around the city, but Lin Yun rejected her with a smile.
Returning to his room, Lin Yun sat down and meditated. Half an hourter, he let out a breath, and all the exhaustion in his pupils disappeared.
“Fourth stage in the Dragon-Phoenix World Annihting Sword Canon and fifth stage in the Divine Firmament Sword Sutra. The sword cannon is enough for now, but the sword sutra is a little slow. It’s a pity I don’t have any resources with me right now.” Lin Yun muttered, scratching his head.
Nightscape enveloped the sky outside the window, but the Heavenly Barren City was brightly lit. Heavenly Barren City was close to the border of the Ancient Barren Domain and wasn’t under any forces'' jurisdiction. This ce normally flourished because it was located at the intersection between several domains. Now that the Ancient Barren Battlefield was about to open, the poprity of this city reached a new height.
There were many ces to stroll in the city, and some treasures that came from the Ancient Barren Battlefield could be found there. Aside from that, there was also an auction house, chambers ofmerce, an arena, and many other ces.
Lin Yun had no interest in them but came before the table and took out the tortoise shell. The tortoise shell was covered withplicated runes, and one could sense a faint fluctuation if one clearly focused on it. But the fluctuation was vague, and it was hard for him to grasp the exact information. This meant he had to use thest ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood that he left behind, but he had no idea how to use it.
“I should go and ask Senior Brother Mu about it.” Lin Yun kept the tortoise shell and came to Mu Chuan’s room.
When he told Mu Chuan his intention and showed him the ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood, Mu Chuan was surprised, “You sure you’re not going to keep this for your tribtion?”
“I’m sure.” Lin Yun nodded.
Mu Chuan fell into deep thoughts as he toyed with the tortoise shell, “The Divine Tortoise Transformation is only a part of the ck Tortoise’s inheritance. The true inheritance is divided into three: the transformation, the cultivation, and the secret techniques.”
“So this Divine Tortoise Transformation is the transformation technique of the ck Tortoise’s inheritance.” Lin Yun said after a brief pondering.
“Yeah, they’re the seventy-two transformation techniques, a dragon spirit cultivation technique with seventy-two stages, and seventy-two secret techniques.” Mu Chuan continued. “You understand what I mean? The transformation technique should be the weakest of the three inheritances. This is only a tortoise shell. So it can’t contain all seventy-two transformation techniques. Even if you’re not nning to keep it for your tribtion, you can save it until you encounter the ck Tortoise’s secret techniques or cultivation techniques.”
Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts upon hearing that because he had never thought about it before. He met the ck Turtle Ancestor, and what Mu Chuan said had a high possibility, ording to the ck Turtle Ancestor’s saying.
But Mu Chuan didn’t know that he had some friendship with the ck Turtle Ancestor, and he might be able to obtain another ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood if he was shameless enough.
“You must know if you can obtain any of the seventy-two secret techniques. Dragon spirit martial techniques are priceless treasures and are even stronger than the Sword Sect’s iplete Great Profound Sword Canon.” Mu Chuan said after a brief hesitation.
“There’s no need. I have already made up my mind to use it now.” Lin Yun said.
“But this Divine Tortoise Transformation is only a portion of the seventy-two transformation techniques. As for this tortoise shell, you might not be able to obtain the full inheritance of the Divine Tortoise Transformation. The ck Tortoise’s inheritance has a legend in the Kunlun Realm. You can practice the Divine Tortoise Transformation, but you can’t neglect your sword dao because of it. Always remember that you’re a swordsman!” Mu Chuan said, looking at Lin Yun.
He initially gave Lin Yun the tortoise shell because he wanted him to learn the ck Tortoise Breathing. He didn’t expect Lin Yun to obtain the ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood so quickly. After all, he had spent some effort to obtain it in the past, but he wasn’t patient enough, and hisprehension wascking. So he ultimately chose to give up.
“I understand.” Lin Yun nodded.
Mu Chuan then exined to Lin Yun about the Divine Tortoise Transformation and told Lin Yun everything he knew. Putting it in a nutshell, even if he managed to practice the Divine Tortoise Transformation, it wouldn’t have many usages. It could be used to change one’s appearance, and one had to reach a high level to grasp this entire transformation technique.
But the moment he seeds, even saints would have difficulty differentiating someone who disguised himself with the Divine Tortoise Transformation. If he managed to grasp all seventy-two transformation techniques, not only could he change his race, but he could also transform into a divine beast. Mu Chuan knew this, but he had no clues about secret and cultivation techniques.
An incense’s timeter, the ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood perfectly fused with the tortoise shell, and scriptures began to appear on the tortoise shell. There was an rming number of scriptures, somewhere in the hundreds of thousands.
Lin Yun couldn’t see them all that clearly, relying on his naked eyes alone. When he executed the Divine Dragon Eyes, he could see some white words that had appeared on the tortoise shell hovering before him. Since he had an excellent memory, he only took two hours to read all of the scriptures.
Mu Chuan was also surprised, but remembered all of the scriptures. He quickly discovered that he had to refine a ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood before he could start practicing this transformation technique, or it would be useless, even if he remembered them.
After Lin Yun read through the scriptures, he furrowed his brows. “It’s tooplicated. There are a hundred thousand scriptures, but it’s iplete. Even if I managed to practice it, the usage isn’t as big as I imagined. Most importantly, I can only start practicing after reaching the third-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm, after my vitality undergoes a transformation.”
“I already told you about it, but don’t belittle it. This might only be the first transformation of the Divine Tortoise Transformation, but you can freely alter your appearance and body after grasping it, including your temperament and voice. This is stronger than any other disguise technique.” Mu Chuan smiled. “Just because you don’t need it now doesn’t mean you don’t need it in the future.”
Stowing the tortoise shell, Lin Yun bitterly smiled and could only be optimistic about it. Otherwise, he had wasted a ck Tortoise’s Saint Blood for naught.
After a brief stop, Lin Yun bade his farewell. Just when he was about to open the door to his room, he stopped with his brows furrowed because someone was in his room. But who could it be? Mu Xueqin, Gu Ruochen, and Ye Qingxuan were in seclusion, while Mu Qingqing and the other saint disciples went for a stroll around the city. So who could be waiting for him in his room?
When Lin Yun pushed open the door, he saw a back figure. This person was donned in an elegant robe and was sitting where Lin Yun had previously sat. The robe this person wore was meant for men, but they were giving off a faint fragrance. Since Lin Yun was sensitive to fragrance, he instantly guessed who hade.
“An Liuyan, you’re bold!” Lin Yun said as he closed the door.
“Hehe. It has been a long time, Young Master Lin.” An Liuyan turned around. She was wielding the fan Lin Yun gave her, making her look elegant. He couldn’t imagine that this was the same bewitching An Liuyan from before. She had disguised herself well, and Lin Yun wouldn’t have recognized her if it wasn’t for the fragrance she gave off.
“I disguised myself.” An Liuyan replied.
“Your disguise is useless based on the fragrance you’re giving off.” Lin Yun smiled.
“I smeared it aftering in, fearing that you might not recognize me.” An Liuyan smiled.
Lin Yun was briefly stunned upon hearing that. But before he could figure out how An Liuyan entered his room, her voice resounded, “Young Master Lin, let’s take a stroll around the city.”
