Chapter 2182 - Eleventh-level Solarian
Lin Wuyi hated Yi Daiyan as well. That woman had stolen away the Ancestral Swordheart, making the Lin Clan lose its soul and intimidation factor, and even collapsed the businesses the clan relied on for its survival.
“A clan needs millions of years to rise, but its extinction can happen overnight. A short hundred years made our clan fall from fourth to ninth place in the Thirteen Royal Clans. And it’s still dropping. So we have to change even if it means standing with our old archnemesis, the ebons! Once we do, all the powers in their faction will reinstate their business dealings with us. Even if we can’t restore our former glory, we can still stop the downturn. There’s only one Yi Daiyan, but billions upon billions of ebons! Everyone knows who this world really belongs to! The ebons’ rex mundi isn’t happy being second place, either,” Lin Xiaoyun said,
“The ebons were at their historical peak when someone suddenly came in and took away their number one spot and suppressed their development. Who could accept that? In another mundus, they’d already have gone to war with Yi Daiyan and wiped out the luxdaemons. Only in a land of duels like Infinitum Mundus can Yi Daiyan rely on her personal power to force the ebons to lower their heads. In the end, though, the ebons are the true natives of Ebonia. Even our Lin Clan are outsiders compared to them.” Lin Wuyi rolled her eyes with disdain.
“Brother Jie, have we discussed the conditions to stand in the ebon’s camp?” Lin Xiaoyun asked.
“We already did a few years ago. We’re just waiting on Ku’s death. We didn’t agree to their offer to kill him,” Lin Jie said, sounding very righteous.
“I don’t understand why the traditionalists are so stubborn. Have they gone senile?” Lin Wuyi said.
“They have their reasons. They may not trust the ebons, or they can’t let go of the ancestors’ teachings or they think bowing to the ebons is more humiliating than bowing to Yi Daiyan. However, we believe in the current era, in change, and in mutual benefits. Even our lives are in jeopardy, so how does dignity matter?” Lin Jie sneered.
“There are no eternal enemies, only benefits! Those old fogies don’t know how to be flexible,” Lin Wuyi said.
“Today, the inheritance of two reges mundi appeared. It must’ve reminded them of the Lin Clan’s most prosperous period. Remember back when the Grandvoid Swordfiend and Unisword Goddess appeared? The ebons then were knocked down from first to tenth. They lost seventy percent of their population and didn’t dare to appear for thousands of years. They were suppressed by two generations of reges mundi! However, times have changed. The king of Ebonia will always be its king no matter what waves appear. We need to stand on the right side! When the battle for Ebonia finally happens, the ebons will surely win.” Lin Jie rose to his feet and dusted his clothes. “Well, the time for words is over. Now it’s time for action.”
“Yes, Brother Jie!” The two younger branch masters sent Lin Jie off with a bow.
……
The fifth level of the Caeli Vault! Tianming could now cultivate there after becoming a grade-two disciple. The fifth level’s caeli also belonged to those in the Order stage, but they were of much better quality than the fourth level’s. The seniors’ profundities and experiences were much deeper and naturally more effective on his current level.
“It’s been two months but you little goons haven’t woken up yet? What kind of pleasant surprise are you all going to give me?” Tianming’s lifebound beasts were still in their cocoons. The cocoons had blood vessels on them and were all connected to Tianming through something like an umbilical cord. Of course, there were only similarities; Tianming wasn’t really their parent.
Although they hadn’t woken up yet, Tianming was surprised to find that he could already exchange energy with them. Aeternal Infernal astralforce was already flowing between him and Ying Huo, for example.
“This means that although they’re asleep, they should be able to break through if I rise in level.” That was why he was seizing the time to cultivate in the Caeli Vault. He was already approaching the eleventh level of the Solar stage the last time he was there. Now that two months had passed and he immersed himself into senior after senior’s Orders, he quickly made new gains. “I should become an eleventh-level solarian soon. I’ll go to Zenith Way!” He would be nearer to becoming a stellaminor if he succeeded.
“You’re here too?” Tianming ran into Lin Xiaogui at Zenith Way.
“I want to try breaking through to fifth-level stellaminor,” Lin Xiaogui replied.
“Try your best. If you succeed, you’ll completely crush Lin Jianjia,” Tianming chuckled.
“Yes!” Lin Xiaogui’s confidence, as well as the fire in her eyes, had greatly increased.
Tianming found a spot for himself and, within the thick nova source, absorbed Ebonia’s power for himself by converting it to astralforce. “Ebonia and the Inifnitum Swordsea…. The benefits of resources are simply too great!” When he had been on a journey through the astralscape, he’d only increased by one level in two years, a far cry from now.
A short while later, he smoothly became an eleventh-level solarian. Not three months had passed since he’d reached the Infinitum Swordsea. He was slower than Xiaoxiao’s ‘eating’ and Feiling’s ‘recovery’, but he had still increased by three levels. It was clear how beneficial Ebonia was for him.
“I’m slowly approaching the standard of geniuses over a hundred years old like Lin Jianxing. I’ll only be a normal person here when I get rid of the black mark of being cultivation trash.” Tianming felt he had a long way to go. “I also have to quickly train those two sword arts. It doesn’t matter if I can’t use them soon, but if I still can’t use them later, I’ll be laughed to death in a few years.”
He hurriedly got up and found that Lin Xiaogui was standing next to him, emotionally looking at him.
“Well, look at you. Success?’ Tianming grinned.
“Yes!” Lin Xiaogui emotionally nodded her head. “Thank you, Lin Feng!”
“What’s it have to do with me?” Tianming asked.
“I was stuck for very long. If you hadn’t given me courage, I wouldn’t have been able to overcome myself.”
“Is that so? Come give me a hug then.” He generously spread his arms.
“Yes!” Lin Xiaogui’s gaze shook, but she still came over.
Tianming patted her on the shoulder, “Alright, in the future, keep your head up and live with dignity.”
“You’re stating the obvious.” Lin Xiaogui rolled her eyes.
“Rude!” Tianming bopped her on the head before leaving.
“Ouch! Don’t you dare go!” Lin Xiaogui chased after him.
“An inheritor of two reges mundi. Lin Feng’s status has completely changed.”
“From his performance in the Swordsoul Purgatory, he actually has a pretty good heart. He isn’t a bad person.”
“Really?”
“The rumors are lies. My dad said he’s a good kid, not the kind that likes to lord over others like Lin Jianjia.”
“Yeah! Those from the Hall of Discipline are always looking down their noses at us.”
……
When Tianming left the Caeli Vault, Granny Dongshen was waiting for him.
