Lin Ming's mind was hard to calm down, understanding two kinds of martial intent was a rare thing in the world, its difficulty was enough to make people despair!

  Never thought I would have such an opportunity!

  "Since this martial intent is what I've come to understand after going through a hundred cycles of reincarnation, then let's just call it the Reincarnation Martial Intent."

  Lin Ming's mind was completely calm, the world around him disappeared like ripples on water, and in the next moment he returned to the trial of life and death. In front of him, a wave-like fluctuation occurred in the void, and the Eye of the Beholder appeared.

  "Congratulations, you have perfectly passed the seventh layer! You are the first to pass all the trials since the establishment of the Witch God Tower!" The eye demon said with an icy and emotionless voice.

  "The seventh trial was an opportunity from the start, I think you've figured it out already."

  "Ah, I see," Lin Ming nodded. The Witch God Realm originally didn't exist because the Witch Gods weren't gods and the world had no gods. So-called gods were just figments of people's imagination, existing only in their hearts. Therefore, the Witch God Realm was simply a world within people's hearts.

  After experiencing the cycle of life and death for centuries, Lin Ming's heart of martial arts has undergone a fundamental change. From initially only understanding persistence and obsession, to now, his heart of martial arts seems to be subtly connected to some kind of great truth, revealing the secrets of "Wu" and "Dao".

  This change may not be reflected in strength for a short period of time, but it will have an immeasurable impact on Lin Ming's future achievements!

  More precious is this cycle of martial intent.

  Lin Ming could feel that the Wheel of Reincarnation's martial intent was many times more powerful than his previous Empty Spirit martial intent, and it was a truly terrifying martial intent.

  "As promised, this is the treasure for you." Eyebrow said, and a ripple appeared in space. A red crystal wrapped in red silk threads appeared before Lin Ming.

  Lin Ming took a deep breath and reached out to touch the red crystal. The smooth, watery sensation in his hand made him ask, "Now can you tell me what this thing is?"

  "Of course," Yan Mou said, "This is the master's gain in the divine realm, accidentally obtained Reversed Scale Blood in a battle."

  "Blood of the Inverse Scales?" Lin Ming was slightly taken aback, and patiently listened on.

  "Dragon has reverse scales, touching it will surely die. The red crystal contains the blood of the true dragon's inverse scale. This blood is spiritual, so we use the ten-thousand-year-old red crystal to seal it, preventing its spirit from escaping or running away."

  "True Dragon?"

  Lin Ming was stunned for a moment. The legendary True Dragon was actually an elusive and intangible thing. Nobody knew just how strong the True Dragon really was.

  On the Tianyan continent, there are only Jiaolong dragons, and even they can't be seen at all.

  People can only see the dragon, which is a fierce beast mixed with the blood of Jiaolong, and can only be considered a fake dragon.

  It is said that the Jiaolong are lustful and fond of sex, so there were these fierce beasts with dragon blood. Any one of them can be compared to a pre-heavenly expert, and some are even stronger.

  Like the Hong Jin Long's marrow pill that Lin Ming had eaten before, the Hong Jin Long was just a fierce beast mixed with the blood of the Ya Long, inferior to the Ya Long with the blood of the Jiao Long. However, even so, one Hong Jin Long's marrow pill was worth a city.

  "What can this Inverscale blood do?" Lin Ming's voice was full of anticipation.

  "Absorbed into the body, it can make your true yuan carry a hint of dragon yang energy. At low levels of cultivation, its effect is not obvious, but as you reach higher realms, you will discover its benefits more and more. Now, your cultivation level is too low, and you are not yet able to fully utilize this strand of Inverse Scale Blood."

  "Dragon Yang's aura?" Lin Ming softly exclaimed, although he still didn't know the specific effect, but just based on the name of True Dragon, he knew that this was a huge opportunity.

  Lin Ming asked: "Why doesn't Senior Wu Shen use this Dragon Yang energy himself? Or does he already have it?"

  "The master doesn't have it, the Inverse Scale's blood is hard to come by and can only be encountered but not sought after. Even in the Divine Realm, it's something that makes people envious, enough to stir up a bloody storm. However, although the master doesn't have the Dragon Yang energy, he obtained an ancient Ice Toad's inner elixir very early on and used secret methods to refine it, allowing him to possess the ancient Ice Toad's cold blood within his body. From then on, ice poison couldn't invade him, and he could also use the powers of cold ice and severe toxicity. However, because of this, the master's physique leaned towards yin and cold, and the cultivation method he practiced was also like that. He fundamentally couldn't absorb the Inverse Scale's blood's Dragon Yang energy; otherwise, his body's yin and yang would conflict, and the Dragon Yang energy might shatter the Ice Toad's cold blood within him. There's only harm, no benefit."

  "I see, but didn't Wu Shen senior think of exchanging this Inverted Scale blood for something?"

  "Master has cultivated to an extremely high realm, later when his lifespan is near its end, everything will be external objects. The finest treasures and rarest materials can no longer help Master break through the realm. Master also looks down on his treasured possessions, puts everything down, and lets his spirit return to the most original state, returning to simplicity and truth. Only then, there will be a possibility of breaking through the bottleneck at the end of his lifespan."

  "So that's how it is...... Did Onigami-senpai succeed then?"

  Lin Ming's question was met with silence from Yan Mei, and that silence was an answer in itself.

  This made Lin Ming feel a sense of emotion, the witch god was such a character, for the final closed death pass, he had done so much preparation, even at the cost of returning to the mortal world, building 72 witch god towers, to resolve his worldly attachments, in the end, he put down everything, with a heart of returning to simplicity and truth, charging at the bottleneck, but still failed!

  Xiū wǔ yī tú, shì yǔ tiān zhēng mìng, shì zhèng tuō lún huí, yǒng cún shì jiān.

  Translation:

  Cultivating martial arts is to fight for life with heaven, it's to break free from the cycle of reincarnation and exist forever in the world.

  However many people in the world have exceptional talents, they ultimately cannot surpass the vast and mighty heavens...

  Thinking of this, Lin Ming subconsciously clenched his fists tightly. The heavens are hard to defy, but I insist on going against the trend, cultivating martial arts until reaching the pinnacle!

  At this time, Yan Mou said: "The blood of the reverse scales cannot be taken orally, but must be directly introduced into one's own blood vessels. However, your current cultivation is too low, and the blood of the reverse scales will not merge with your body. Forcing it to merge will only result in your body exploding and dying. I will place a seal within your body, sealing away the blood of the reverse scales. When your cultivation is sufficient, you can naturally unseal it and fully absorb the blood of the reverse scales. However, the process of absorbing the blood of the reverse scales is extremely painful, requiring one to suppress its resistance, equivalent to a marrow-washing and bone-gnawing experience."

  Lin Mingdao said: "I understand, thank you, Senior Yan."

  "Slit your wrist and let the blood flow."

  After listening to Yan's words, Lin Ming took out a dagger from the Xumi Ring and cut his wrist artery with great force, causing blood to gush out.

  But Lin Ming's recovery was too good, and after tearing it open, the wound actually healed slowly at a visible speed.

  At this time, the Inverse Scale Blood in Lin Ming's hand floated up, and with a slight movement of his mind, a crisp sound was heard. The red crystal cracked open with spider web-like fissures, and the Inverse Scale Blood seemed like a bird that had been locked in a cage without seeing the light of day, and after gaining its freedom, it burst out in an instant.

  But just as it was about to escape, an invisible force suppressed it and directly pressed it into Lin Ming's blood vessels.

  With the support of the powerful Qi and blood, the wound on his wrist healed quickly, and the Inverse Scale Blood was sealed inside Lin Ming's body.

  As the blood of the Reverse Scale flowed into Lin Ming's body, the Eye of the Beholder closed its massive eyes, and waves of invisible mental fluctuations emanated from it, all pouring into Lin Ming's body.

  Around Lin Ming, space began to distort, as if a spatial cage had locked him in completely.

  Lin Ming knew that this was Eyegou's lower seal, preventing the inverted scales' blood from escaping.

  The blood of the reverse scales is fierce and untamed, having just escaped from one cage, it has come to another cage. How can it be willing to stay in Lin Ming's body, surging left and right, wanting to break open Lin Ming's body and escape outside?

  But a formless spatial force had locked it in place, and this spatial force was getting tighter and tighter, forcing it to Lin Ming's heart.

  The blood of the reverse scales became even more frantic, with one impact after another, Lin Ming's heart and mouth were in severe pain, this kind of pain was as if there was a sharp cone stabbing randomly inside his body.

  With his soul force probing the movements of the Inverse Scale's blood within his body, Lin Ming couldn't help but bitterly smile. At this rate, he had no idea when he would be able to absorb it all...

  The witch gave herself a big cake, but it was only visible and couldn't be eaten.

  One side sealed the inverted scales' blood, while saying: "I will seal it into your heart, and then tell you the method to unseal it. Until you reach the extreme of innate talent, do not rashly lift the ban and absorb it, or else you will be in danger of losing your life."

  " Innate to the extreme?" Lin Ming was speechless, he himself had not even reached the Condensation Period, let alone Innate to the extreme. But it wasn't strange either, this Inverse Scale blood was true dragon bloodline, although it was only a small amount, it wasn't something that he could control now, if anything, he could only blame his own low cultivation level.

  Lin Ming's eyes revealed his disappointment. After obtaining a massive power, he was told that this power could not be used, and it was only natural to feel disappointed.

  "Yan Mou said: 'The path of cultivation is a gradual process, and you must follow the sequence. The power and physique you currently possess are already beyond what many geniuses dare to think about...'"

  Just as the Eyebrowed Toad finished speaking, it suddenly let out a strange cry. At that moment, Lin Ming's body underwent a sudden and violent transformation of his Reversal Scale Blood!

  Ni Xuan's blood approached Lin Ming's heart, and suddenly seemed to have encountered something terrifying, immediately becoming quiet, even showing a deep sense of fear.

  It no longer darts left and right, only thinking of escaping Lin Ming's heart as soon as possible. However, the spatial force that has been set up is squeezing the inverted scales' blood, forcing it to approach Lin Ming's heart.

  The blood of the reverse scales seemed to be urgent, it desperately resisted this power, but after all, it was only a thread of blood, even if it was the true dragon's blood, it couldn't resist the power of the eye demon.

  Getting closer and closer to Lin Ming's heart, the blood spirit of the Reverse Scale began to tremble.

  Lin Ming had been using his spiritual power to follow the flow of the Reverse Scale Blood, and he felt the fear emanating from it. His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself that the Reverse Scale Blood was actually the bloodline of a True Dragon. Although its own strength was limited, its pride was just like that of a True Dragon. How could it suddenly be so afraid? Could it be...
