Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being - Chapter 584
Chapter 584 – Blocked Road
Sword Saint Tianshu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, “If we can’t solve this matter, I’m afraid we will have to go to the Northern Dragon Clan to resolve it together.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded and said, “I have this intention.”
The Northern Longyao clan’s true form was the dragon, and they contained the bloodline of the dragon. Even though the number of disciples who had really awakened their bloodline for so many years was less than ten, they all had a close affinity to water by nature, and they were happier and more comfortable in water than on land.
If you really wanted to fight the sea beasts at the bottom of the sea, the Longyao Clan would definitely contribute. It’s just whether or not the Dragon Clan was willing to help needed to be measured.
Yan Tianhen said, “Then what should we do now? We can’t just sit back and wait to die.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “I plan to go to the Northwest Sea again in a few days to see if I can lure the Fiend out. I think I’ll have to lead it to the East Sea.”
Yan Tianhen slammed the table and said, “Don’t even think about it. It’s not easy for the Fiends to find a powerful thing that can attach himself. He certainly won’t give up that body. You are injured today, and what will happen next time?”
Sword Saint Tianshu said, “I think it’s feasible. Isn’t the lady of the East Sovereign coming soon? It’s no small matter to lead the Fiend to the East Sea. You’ll definitely have to discuss with him a little, but I don’t know if Lord Guangling is easy to persuade. In any case, it’s truly difficult to persuade the East Sovereign.”
Lin Xuanzhi was the least worried about this. Lin Zhan was an outsider. His fate was never seen through from beginning to end, and he was never controlled by the Dao of Heaven. Lin Zhan could be said to be responsive to his needs.
“Leave it to me to negotiate with the East Lands.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “The most important thing now is to protect Ethereal City. Don’t let people get hurt again.”
Sword Saint Tianshu heaved a long sigh. “This patrol needs to be arranged again. You go to rest first; this time I will arrange it.”
Lin Xuanzhi rushed all the way today and fought a tough battle in the Northwest Sea. No matter how healthy he was, his body still felt a little overwhelmed. So after he said a few words, he left with Yan Tianhen.
After leaving the Sword God Hall and going to Little Penglai, Yan Tianhen asked, “Dage, what is sealed in the extreme abyss of the Northwest Sea?”
Lin Xuanzhi shook his head and said, “I only know that the evilest thing was sealed in that place, but I don’t know what it is. I used to exchange news with a prince of the Longyao Clan. He once travelled close to the Northwest Sea. He only said that the place was dark and sinister, and the sea was icy and bitter. Before he got close, he could feel that he was being watched by something evil, which made him feel fear and awe from the bottom of his heart. He did not dare to approach and left quickly. He has never been to this place again.”
Yan Tianhen clasped his hands and said, “What you said is not much different from the forbidden books I saw in the Imperial Palace’s library. Although the nine Divine Clans are the descendants of ancient clans, a long time had passed. After several wars between the Divine Clans, many ancient secret scrolls have been lost. The ancestors who have experienced the Great Immortal-Demon War in ancient times have either already become immortals and ascended or else have fallen. If you want to ask someone, it’s already hard to find them.”

Lin Xuanzhi held his hand and said, “Don’t worry too much. Those things haven’t come out for tens of thousands of years. I don’t think they will come out overnight. What’s more, even when the sky collapses, there will always be tall people holding it up.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’m also being serious. After all, I’ll handle everything.”
“If you handle everything, doesn’t it seem that I’m particularly useless?” Yan Tianhen sighed and said, “Originally I wanted to be intimate with you, but now I think it’s more appropriate to spend time on cultivation, so that you don’t worry me all day and don’t let me follow you.”
As soon as Yan Tianhen released Lin Xuanzhi and turned around, preparing to leave when he was pulled into his arms by Lin Xuanzhi.
Lin Xuanzhi laughed in a low voice and said, “Of course, cultivation is good. However, if someone with an exceptional furnace constitution dual cultivates, it will be faster to consolidate the cultivation realm. Why don’t Ah Hen have a try?”
Yan Tianhen said happily, “Will I be on top today?”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled indulgently. “Okay.”
It was just a change of position, and that position would make it easier for them to mix their fluids with each other, and it was more convenient for him to guide the Qi to wander within Yan Tianhen’s body, but this was probably not the same as what Yan Tianhen was thinking.
…………
The event of Fiends attacking Ethereal City had turned the entire city, which was originally called a peaceful city, into a place of fear and panic. On the second day, although the ban in the city had been lifted temporarily, the streets were still empty, and no one could be seen. It was like an empty city.
Yan Tianhen cultivated inside the soul plate for ten days, and when it was time for class, he left Little Penglai.
Today in Alchemy’s class, Yan Tianhen found inexplicably that the group of people who always liked to trouble him started to take a detour when they met him. Yan Tianhen was puzzled.
Later, he asked Gu Ruyu to find out. It turned out that not long after he entered secluded cultivation, Qi Feiqing found people to give Tong Zishu a harsh beating. Tong Zishu had become a lot meeker after that. Later, Yan Tianhen practiced the sword path and even entered Sword Saint Tianshu’s eyes, which made Tong Zishu feel fearful, and he could never even think about causing Yan Tianhen trouble again.
After hearing this, Yan Tianhen couldn’t help thinking that the name of the second in line successor of the Qianyuan Dynasty was really only easy to use in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital. When it came to Myriad Dao Academy, the title “Prince Ye” couldn’t even compare to the sentence “entered the Sword Saint’s eyes”.
But speaking of it, this was indeed the truth. In the entire Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, the number of people who could be called “Saints” could be counted on one hand, but just Myriad Dao Academy’s Sword God Hall alone had six.
With strength came confidence. As long as these six Sword Saints were protecting it, the secular hand would never be able to reach inside the sect.
Today’s course was a bit boring, but it was really useful. It was Mr. Cai, who taught the students how to preserve the integrity and usability of the spiritual herbs and prevent the spiritual energy from dissipating.
A spiritual plant, especially the rare spiritual plant that was hard to find in the world, would be wasted if it fell into the wrong person’s hands. Once there was a second-class fool who didn’t know how to handle spiritual plants. After he got a spirit plant that could resurrect the flesh and bones of the dead, because he could not preserve it, it turned it into a useless waste of a plant.
This incident could be regarded as a textbook-level example, so that every alchemist had heard the gentlemen grit their teeth and rant about it before even entering alchemy.
Yan Tianhen also attached great importance to the preservation and picking of spiritual plants, so he listened to this lesson very carefully, and he really learned a lot of new skills and methods. Mr. Cai assigned the task of letting everyone go to the spiritual field of the academy to pick spiritual plants of different levels from one to six, and then left in a hurry.
It was probably due to the Fiends’ incident — the whole sect wouldn’t be able to recover normalcy for a while. Mr. Cai and the three other teachers who had no class today must rush to the Sect Council to discuss and solve the problem of the Fiends.
It was hard for them to still remember to teach a class at this critical juncture.
Picking spiritual plants was not difficult for Yan Tianhen, but he planned to try the new method taught by Mr. Cai, so he went to the spiritual plants’ field with the disciples of the Alchemy Division as soon as class was over.
But before reaching the field, he heard someone exclaiming next to him, and everyone’s sights were all looking towards the east. Yan Tianhen also followed the trend and looked over there.
“Who is this senior martial brother?”
“So handsome, how come I’ve never seen him in the academy?”
“I know that elder martial sister, she is the eldest daughter of the crane clan in the West Land. She is called He Lianyi. She is very beautiful. It is said that she was the most beautiful woman in that generation!”
“I heard that He Lianyi and Ying Zhen always go in and out at the same time. The one next to her…isn’t he Ying Zhen?”
Yan Tianhen looked at the young man’s waist; there was a green, transparent and lifelike summer cicada jade pendant, so he knew that this man was really from the Ying family.
The Ying family was a quasi-Divine Clan and had always been a subject of the Yan family. Only a few members of the Ying family would enter the secular world in each generation. The others would live in seclusion in the mountains and old forests, accompanied by insects, birds, and cicadas.
But every Ying family member who entered the secular world would hold important positions. For example, Ying Chuibi, the former head of the Black Crow Guards, was born in the previous generation of the Ying family. Ying Zhen had already walked up to Yan Tianhen, and behind him were several disciples in white robes. Obviously, these were all seniors from the East Courtyard.
Ying Zhen’s body had a faint smell of blood. When you look at the clothes that were still stained with some blood, it was easy to see that they had just returned from training outside. However, no matter whether they were poor or rich, East Courtyard’s disciples all attached great importance to appearance and decency. It was probably rare for them to walk in the courtyard with blood on their bodies.
The young boys who just entered the sect were silent, afraid to say anything, looking at Ying Zhen with longing and admiration, while a few boldly stared at the beautiful appearance of He Lianyi.
Ying Zhen stopped in front of Yan Tianhen.
The people around Yan Tianhen took a few steps back. Yan Tianhen felt a murderous aura.
He blinked and asked, “Elder Martial Brother, what can I do for you?”
Ying Zhen sized him up with a cold expression. “Are you Yan Tianhen?”
Yan Tianhen said, “I am. Who is this Elder Martial Brother?”
“Ying Zhen.” Ying Zhen was concise and clear, just like his temperament.
Before Yan Tianhen had time to ask again, Ying Zhen said coldly, “You made a transaction with Shi Yi a few days ago. Have you already given him the pill?”
When Yan Tianhen heard that it was actually related to Shi Yi, he had a little more understanding in his heart. This person was either Shi Yi’s enemy who wanted to prevent him from giving Shi Yi medicine, or his friend who did not want Yan Tianhen to use Shi Yi as a test subject.
However, whether he was a friend or foe would soon be seen.
Yan Tianhen said, “I’ve finished refining it, but I have not seen Senior Martial Brother Shi Yi recently when I repeatedly searched for him, so I could only put it aside for the time being.”
Ying Zhen glanced at him and said, “That medicine, Shi Yi no longer wants it.”
Yan Tianhen thought, From the tone, it seems that he is Shi Yi’s friend.
