Chapter 146: The Change in the Hall of Legacy

  "Alright."

  Xia Lin sighed, he just knew that the third layer of replication, which was terrifying to the extreme, had no chance of learning. The first layer of entry took six days, and if the practice was completed, it would take at least a year. And then, the second layer, the third layer...

  Xia Lin seemed to have seen his own twilight years, at an old age, when he finally completed the third layer of cultivation.

  He let out a wry smile, and Xia Lin also gave up on continuing to cultivate Qian Huan. At this time, it was enough that he had grasped Qian Huan; increasing his own combat strength was the most important thing.

  Now his own strength has also reached the second change of Qingyun.

  He didn't experience the process of breaking through to the first stage of the Blue Clouds at all, because of his own strength, he almost broke into the second stage of the Blue Clouds when he was breaking through the Blood Vessel. This boundary is not divided by realm, but simply by real power.

  Strength breakthrough, martial skills naturally also need to keep up, this is the capital of Xia Lin's level challenge.

  After a month of hard work, the Fierce Beast Four Forms were also mastered, with three forms: Lightning Rush Thunder, Shocking Earth, and Roar of the Bear.

  Yes... I didn't misread it, it's indeed the first style, second style, and fourth style!

  Third style, Storm Shield. So far, he still doesn't have a clue. He really didn't understand how to separate his blood and energy to create a defensive shield.

  The blood and energy are attached to the physical body, and it is also born with the physical body. This is also the reason why he has been bursting out every time he takes action so far.

  Blood and energy are just auxiliary, flesh is the real deal in battle!

  So every time, it seems to be a confrontation between the mysterious energy and the blood energy, but in fact, it is a hard-won victory between the mysterious energy and Xia Lin's physical body. That layer of blood energy is just a fake created for them to see, otherwise, if the physical body directly confronts the mysterious energy, I'm afraid that after a long time, they can also guess out a clue.

  Blood and Qi... how can they be separated from the body?

  Can it be detached?

  Summer frowned slightly.

  "Boom!"

  Five electric sparks flashed by in mid-air.

  "Boom!"

  Xia stomped her foot on the ground. The earth cracked, and countless lightning bolts spread along the cracks towards the surroundings, terrifying and eerie.

  "Roar!"

  Xia Lin let out a loud roar at the air, like an air cannon, and suddenly a strong pressure difference appeared in front of him, which then burst out violently and shot towards the distance.

  A mountain rock thousands of miles away. A loud crash, and it burst open directly.

  This is the power of the bear's roar, compared to the tiger's group attack in the mountains, the bear's single attack is more concentrated and farther away.

  Subconsciously following the trajectory of the third style, he walked away. A spark of electricity flashed in his hand and then disappeared into nothingness.

  Failed again...

  Helpless shaking his head, Xia Lin also stopped thinking about it. The Bao Xiong Jue itself was a technique used by cultivators, and there was no gap in it. As long as he worked hard, he would eventually understand it.

  "Knock knock——"

  The wooden gate of the courtyard came knocking sounds."Young master."

  Suddenly, Xia's eyes lit up, "Sun Zhong? Could it be..."

  "Come in."

  "Yes." Sun Zhong entered with a bow and said respectfully, "Young Master, what you wanted has arrived."

  Xia Lin's face broke into a smile as he accepted the object handed to him by Sun Zhong and opened it. Inside the wooden box was a large array disc.

  This was something that Xia Lin had Sun Zhong specially create. Although Linjiang City was a small city, there were also warriors who could create Xuanbao. Unfortunately, the most he could create was only one first-class Xuanbao. Moreover, it cost a lot of money, so generally, there wasn't much business to be done.

  Only Xia Lin would spend a lot of money to create such a unique and precious treasure.

  Array Disk is just a first-rate Mysterious Treasure. Although for the current strong practitioners of the Ascension Road, a first-rate Mysterious Treasure can almost be ignored. But that's why it's called Array Disk, its effect is self-evident.

  After letting Sun Zhong go, Xia Lin took out the Array Plate and placed it on the table. Then, he took out a book - "Jin Xuan" (Forbidden Mysteriousness). This was an array obtained in the Huang Quan Secret Realm that could seal off everyone's mysterious energy!

  After returning, apart from crazy cultivation, Xia Lin began to study this formation method.

  Once successfully developed, it can seal off everyone's Xuan Qi, let alone Qing Yun's two transformations, even if he has seven transformations, he can still blast him out of the sky!

  Alright, this is just an ultimate idea. After all, whether it's formation or martial skills, they are limited, and for those who exceed their own boundaries by too much, there is almost no effect.

  He flipped through the Forbidden Mystic Array Method, and Xia Lin familiarized himself with it once again.

  The route of the formation was clear in his mind, and then he started drawing the formation with his blood energy. Step by step, stroke by stroke, there were almost no changes at all. Finally, a new formation was drawn, and Xia Lin had a high level of enlightenment, never daring to be self-righteous and randomly change anything.

  A little bit of drawing.

  Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Xia Lin's forehead, and at this time, he had only drawn one-tenth.

  "Pffft——"

  A wisp of blue smoke rose up, and Xia Lin was dismayed to discover that the array pattern he had painstakingly drawn earlier had been completely ruined!

  Fortunately, the formation disc is fine, which is also its function. The formation can be attached to any object, but only the formation disc can fail and be redrawn repeatedly. If a formation is drawn on an ordinary object, it may be destroyed directly if it fails.

  "Come again!"

  Xia Lin gritted her teeth and started drawing again.

  What he didn't notice was that at this moment, a subtle and almost imperceptible change occurred in the Transmission Hall of the Sea of Recognition. Except for the Hundred Refining Pavilion, another pavilion's door slowly opened at this time.

  Three days later, Xia Lin's face turned iron-green as he stared at the innocent formation plate in front of him.

  It's been three days!

  He painted countless times, but never succeeded even once, and didn't even exceed one-tenth of a time.

  "Rip-off!"

  Xia Lin said indignantly, "Do I need to have a natural talent for learning formations too? Even if not, with the formation running chart already available, drawing it exactly the same way would still result in failure... What's the reason behind this? Could it be that I'm unable to control such a massive formation?"

  After racking her brains for a long time, Xia Lin still couldn't get an answer.

  But at this moment, he was stunned, his eyes filled with an incredible expression.

  Since the inheritance hall was opened, only the door of the hundred-refining pavilion has been open. The other several pavilions have been completely closed, and Xia Lin even thought they were just decorations. But at this moment, one of the pavilions, the Meteorite Pavilion, opened!

  It's actually true.

  Each of these attics can be opened.

  Summer approached, and a light burst forth from his eyes, directly entering the Hall of Legacy. This magnificent palace, whose grand entrance was usually closed, now stood open before him, as if welcoming him at any moment.

  Summer approached, but suddenly stopped in her tracks.

  "Hmm——"

  A faint hum, a half-transparent ripple rose outside the Astral Pavilion. He was blocked again, just like before.

  "Huh?" Xia Lin was taken aback, what's going on?

  Isn't Meteorite Pavilion already open?

  Why was he still stopped?

  Re-entering, Xia Lin was intercepted again.

  Summer's brow furrowed, but at this moment, he also discovered some strange places, along with the waves rising. It seemed that there would be something different from before.

  He tried putting both hands forward, directly sticking them onto the invisible defense.

  Innumerable ripples shook, a semi-transparent defense appeared, and on it were several arrows, a few lines, and a location. A very simple graph, as if painted on an ancient scroll.

  Xia Lin studied diligently for a long time and suddenly became enlightened.

  This is an ancient map! A few simple strokes outline from his current position to the distance and direction of the destination.

  "This thing..." Xia Lin thought, "Is it trying to tell me that only by obtaining that thing will the Meteorite Pavilion open? The thing that can open the Meteorite Pavilion should be the lost object of the ancient barbarian tribe. It's strange - I don't seem to have discovered any changes in the Meteorite Pavilion before, how did it suddenly become like this? Could something have happened recently?"

  He let out a wry smile. Xia Lin retreated from the Ruins of Daybreak Pavilion.

  If it were usual times, he would have had the time to study this thing and incidentally retrieve his lost item. However, with the Jiang family crisis at hand, who has the leisure to pay attention to these things?

  Arriving at the main hall, Xia Lin dealt with some matters and was about to return to continue his cultivation when he saw Dongfang Xuan, who was full of enthusiasm.

  "What's wrong?" Xia Lin asked curiously, something must have happened that was quite interesting.

  Dongfang Xuan chuckled and said, "Do you still remember Huo Jian?"

  Xia Lin rolled her eyes, "It's been just over a month since I came out of Huang Quan Secret Realm, of course I remember."

  "Hey, I discovered some of Huo Jian's secrets during the investigation two days ago," Dongfang Xuan said mysteriously.

  "What secret?" Xia Lin furrowed her brow and asked.

  "Huo Jian, was once a disciple of the Jian family who built the city of Jianye. Later, however, he was expelled from the family and forbidden to use the surname Jian for the rest of his life because he harassed his sister."

  "Sister?"

  "Half-sister from the same father but different mother."

  “……”

  Xia Lin was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Impossible, Huo Jian is a bit old-fashioned, a bit dull, and very hardworking. He's absolutely not that kind of person. Maybe in his eyes, women are not even as important as a sword manual."

  "Yes." Dongfang Xuan nodded, "So, I secretly investigated and found out that the woman, Jian Ning, had a bad reputation. Her brother, Jian Ye, was a genius of the Jian family, and after driving away Huo Jian, he became the master of the Jian family!"

  Xia Lin smiled bitterly, "Another one of these so-called family struggles?"

  "En." Dongfang Xuan nodded, "It's obvious that Huo Jian was framed, and for so many years, he has been waiting for the chance to clear his name."

  "What about his parents?" Xia Lin furrowed her brow.

  His father obviously favored Jianye, which can be seen from the name. Jianye! Do you know that the city where the Jian family is located is Jianying City? Taking such a similar name, everything was already destined when Jianye was born. Huo Jian was born to his father and a concubine, and later his mother passed away due to illness, making him even more insignificant.

  "Indeed, where there are people, there is a world of strife. Whether it's family, sects, or gangs, even a small team of three to five people will have conflicts." Xia Lin sighed.
