Chapter 540: Chapter 529: The Sword Cultivator Father
"Why isn’t that golden-red flame as fierce today?" Elder Zhao felt like he was almost roasted inside the Immortal Cauldron that day, how can Lin Shen be fine today!
"That was just a flame sealed by Little Jin, initially meant to counter the Dark Netherworld Fire for Sheng’er. Naturally, it wouldn’t be as powerful as when Little Jin uses it himself," Ye Qiu explained, observing the situation on the stage, and then clarifying for everyone.
"So it’s called Little Jin!" Elder Zhao said excitedly, he knew that bird had a significant relationship with Ye Qiu!
"Here it comes, that person is going to use a big move," Ye Qiu’s expression turned stern, then he said to Ye Sheng, "Sheng’er, Buddha Lamp."
Ye Sheng positioned the Immortal Cauldron in front of him and, following Ye Qiu’s command, took out an ancient and ordinary Buddha Lamp.
"That is..." Many Buddhist Practitioners were present, and seeing Ye Sheng take out a Buddha Lamp at this critical moment, they knew it wasn’t ordinary and thus observed even more intently.
The Buddha Lamp was dusty, as if it hadn’t been cleaned for many years, but when Ye Sheng infused his Spiritual Power into it, it burst forth with golden-yellow light.
"Ah!" The Divine Soul hiding inside Lin Shen suddenly screamed in agony.
"How formidable!"
"What’s the origin of this Buddha Lamp?"
"Amitabha Buddha." The Buddhist Practitioners watched the Buddha Lamp without blinking, as if looking at a rare treasure. Of course, this artifact was no less precious than a rare treasure.
The Buddha Lamp is a Buddhist object, and although it has a different approach compared to Taoist practices, it can often have a doubling effect in controlling certain evil beings.
The one now controlling Lin Shen’s body was an old monster from who knows where, but one thing was for sure: he was definitely not a good person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the opportunity to snatch Lin Shen’s body under the pretext of helping him in battle.
Indeed, he had been contemplating body snatching ever since he contracted the Dark Netherworld Fire with Lin Shen, which wasn’t his original intention.
He was once an Immortal, having died a very long time ago, and when he awoke, he discovered that he had lost contact with the Immortal Realm. At that time, his Divine Soul was extremely weak, and naturally, he did not want to die like this. That’s when he met Lin Shen.
Back in the Immortal Realm, there was a wide-spread Immortal Law: observing people’s Luck. Later, because this Cultivation Technique was too against the Heavenly Dao, it angered an Immortal Emperor, and cultivation of it was prohibited, gradually leading to its loss. However, he had the fortune to have seen it.
Therefore, the moment he saw Lin Shen, he knew this was a child favored by the Heavenly Dao, and moreover, one with great Luck. Back then, he had planned to assist Lin Shen until Lin Shen’s Cultivation succeeded, and then use him to find suitable materials to concoct a perfect body for himself. Thus, he passed on a profound Cultivation Technique suitable for cultivating the Five Spirit Roots from the Immortal Realm to Lin Shen.
Unfortunately, Lin Shen failed to grasp it and actually ruined his against-heaven Luck!
He was full of regret and hatred, but since he had already bound himself to Lin Shen and his Divine Soul was weak, leaving would make it difficult to find a more suitable host. So he continued to stay and kept looking for the right opportunity, indifferent whether it would be to refine a body for himself or to directly snatch Lin Shen’s body.
He was very clever and never revealed his intentions to Lin Shen. When Lin Shen decided to contract the Dark Netherworld Fire, he then determined to snatch Lin Shen’s body, and today finally found the opportunity.
Body snatching is something a Demon Cultivator would do, which is why the Buddha Lamp inflicted such heavy damage on him.
Furthermore, as soon as the Buddha Lamp shone on it, the Dark Netherworld Fire immediately emitted pitiful screams and wailing sounds.
"That is..." Elder Zhao stood up in shock. Weren’t those madmen from Four Seasons Peak? How come they were in these Black Flames?
Could it be that Lin Shen used the Dark Netherworld Fire to devour his Master and his Ancestors?
He said that the aura on Lin Shen’s body had become very peculiar. He said why none of those madmen’s Divine Souls had escaped.
How ironic! A lifetime devoted to cultivation, abandoning family and friends, the only thing that gave them a sense of responsibility was their disciple, Lin Shen, who was to inherit their cultivation techniques.
Who would have thought that Lin Shen only learned a little bit of the Heartless Dao, but in the end, he killed the very master and ancestors who taught him their techniques. Does this not truly initiate him into the threshold of the Heartless Dao?
Because as far as he knew, Lin Shen had no family, no friends. To enter the Heartless Dao, he could only turn against the closest figures to him, his master and ancestors.
How tragic and lamentable!
"There’s no need to investigate the people from Four Seasons Peak any further. No matter the outcome today, remove Lin Shen’s name permanently from the Tianyan Sect’s disciple roster."
"Yes, elder."
What outsiders didn’t know at this moment was that the person controlling Lin Shen’s body was suffering a double torture, one from Ye Sheng and the Buddha Lamp in his hand, and the other from Lin Shen, the body’s true owner.
"Let me out," Lin Shen demanded frantically. It was his body, any damage caused pain to his own Divine Soul, but no matter what he said or did, he could no longer control his own body.
"Dream on." The person had finally obtained a physical body; how could they give it up easily? Since emerging, they never had the intention of returning.
"What are you trying to do? Give my body back to me." Lin Shen continued frantically, never expecting things to have escalated to this point.
"Hehehe, Lin Shen, rest assured, after all the years I’ve helped you, I will surely take good care of your body in the future."
"Ah!" Lin Shen was nearly driven to madness. He didn’t know by what method this person barred him from controlling his body. However, fortunately, this person’s Divine Soul had once been gravely injured. Even after many years of recovery, it remained weak. With Ye Sheng’s relentless attacks from outside, he must have a chance to regain control of his body.
Lin Shen never thought that after hating Ye Sheng for so many years, he would actually need his help in the end!
What an opportunity!
Ye Sheng knew there was something wrong with Lin Shen’s body and seized the moment to attack. This was the Life and Death Arena, no matter what happened, only one could live to return. Therefore, he could only apologize to the others.
"Hiss, it’s even colder, what is that?" The cultivators had noticed Ye Sheng’s movements, curiously staring at the drop of ice-blue liquid in his hand.
"It’s Alien Water!"
"It’s actually Alien Water!"
"First Strange Fire, then merfolk, and now Alien Water, does heaven show him so much favor? How strong must one’s luck be to contract with anything!"
"No wonder he can refine Immortal Artifacts. He has both Strange Fire and Alien Water!"
"Ye Qiu, I truly envy you!" Elder Zhao exclaimed with feeling.
Ye Qiu was also surprised; he didn’t expect Sheng’er to have such an ace up his sleeve. No wonder he was so confident.
Feeling the envious and jealous looks of everyone, Ye Qiu calmly indicated that some things cannot be garnered through envy.
Ye Sheng, imitating Lin Shen, controlled the Alien Water with one hand and the Dark Blue Ice Flame with the other, continuously merging them... The temperature at the scene dropped lower and lower with his movements.
