CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 55: SWORD SECT’S INQUIRY

Celestial Sword Sect.

The Celestial Sword Sect Leader dismissed the idle crowds, intending to hear Gao Sheng’s explanation.

Gao Sheng gestured wildly, using both hands and feet, and after a simple yet vivid explanation...

"Why didn’t you say this earlier, you rascal!" The Celestial Sword Sect Leader’s expression changed dramatically.

"Feng Ning, that girl, is currently using the Sword Soul transformed by the ancestor... to battle Emperor Haili?"

"I’ve already said it as fast as I could." Gao Sheng was also at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Sister Feng Ning, that’s my own sister." He didn’t expect that while sending off Lin Jing and the spirit ghost, they also sent him to a safe place.

This enormous favor, he couldn’t let the two of them encounter misfortune!

"Senior, does the Celestial Sword Sect have any way to support them now?"

At this moment, he pinned his hopes on the Celestial Sword Sect Leader.

"The Ancient Country and the Western Desert are far apart. By the time the Celestial Sword Sect’s support reaches the Western Desert... the battle might long be over."

"Moreover... the Celestial Sword Sect isn’t qualified to intervene in the Wenda battle."

"If His Majesty the Ancient Emperor were here, there might be a way, but it’s said that the Lord of the Demon Court, the Ancient Emperor, the Buddha Lord, and the Martial Emperor, these great Wenda practitioners all suffered severe injuries due to matters beyond the heavens and are now in seclusion to recuperate. Currently, the Prince Gu temporarily controls court affairs. Although Prince Gu is also immensely talented, he may also be powerless in this matter..."

The Celestial Sword Sect Leader also did not want their own Wenda Ancestor and the most outstanding talent to have any mishaps in the Western Desert.

The future of the Celestial Sword Sect was pinned on these two individuals.

"Regardless of whether there’s a way, I must go to the capital to give it a try, young man, you will go to the capital with me to seek an audience with the prince."

At this moment, the Celestial Sword Sect Leader could only think of seeking help from the ancient clan.

The Celestial Essence Ancient Country had been established for ten thousand years, and even if the Second Ancient Emperor couldn’t intervene, he believed the ancient clan certainly had enough heritage to get involved in the Wenda period’s struggles.

No matter how you say it, the Nether Hall is the enemy of the Ancient Country, and the Celestial Sword Sect is a sect dependent on the Ancient Country. If the ancient clan has a way, he believed the ancient clan would definitely lend a hand.

"Alright, I will go with the senior, but let Brother Lin stay here. Maybe he has also thought of some way, and it’s better not to interfere with him." Gao Sheng took a deep breath as he glanced at Lin Jing meditating under the Celestial Sword.

He only gave a simple explanation of the situation to the Celestial Sword Sect Leader and did not reveal anything about the spirit ghost.

Gao Sheng wasn’t a fool and roughly guessed what Lin Jing wanted to do... he dared not tell the Celestial Sword Sect Leader about it.

After all, what Lin Jing wanted to do might involve manipulating the Celestial Sword belonging to the Celestial Sword Sect, which seemed impolite.

......

At the same time.

Lin Jing focused his entire mind, with the augmentation of the Secret Technique of Submerged Dragon, the augmentation of the Luck Golden List... plus... the Pine Needle Mouse emerged from the gourd and took out a green Bodhi Tree, sitting cross-legged on the Bodhi Tree to protect Lin Jing beneath it.

The triple augmentation of comprehension elevated Lin Jing’s level of comprehension to its current peak.

This green Bodhi Tree, after Lin Jing’s incarnation and Gao Sheng left the Bodhi Temple, the abbot of Bodhi Temple eventually agreed to a transaction, lending a green Bodhi Tree to Lin Jing, giving it to the Demon Court, and sending it to the Immortal Burial Volcano.

It was precisely because of this green Bodhi Tree that Lin Jing was able, before his battle with the Martial Emperor’s successor, to quickly master the methods of using Divine Sense and some beast taming secret techniques in just a few days.

Now, Lin Jing’s intuition was even more terrifying than before, especially with the top ten augmentation of the Golden List, although it might not match the augmentation effect of the golden Bodhi Tree, it definitely wouldn’t be inferior to the effect of the silver Bodhi Tree.

Under such augmentation, Lin Jing’s understanding of the Core Formation divine technique "Art of Godly Control" rapidly improved. Initially, he could only consume up to ten years of life to augment his path comprehension level.

But now, with improvements in all aspects, in just a brief moment, Lin Jing increased the life span limit that the Art of Godly Control could consume to over a hundred years.

"If I can truly manipulate the Immortal Sword, not just the Nether Hall, but even the Sea God Palace and the Mist Forest won’t have a good outcome..."

"By then, just like Gu Qianqiu, I’ll plunder a bit. As long as the resources seized match the consumption of life, it won’t be a loss!"

"Almost enough!"

Lin Jing suddenly opened his eyes, instantly burning three cycles of life span, raising his mastery in path comprehension to a higher level on the basis of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Though the duration might not be long, it was already sufficient for the current experiment.

"Control!"

He shouted in a low voice, as spiritual power raged around him. At this moment, although the Celestial Sword Sect Leader left with Gao Sheng, he left behind a group of strongmen from the Celestial Sword Sect to supervise Lin Jing.

For the Celestial Sword Sect, Lin Jing was also a hot potato, after all, being the Demon Court Saint Heir, mishandling might provoke diplomatic issues.

"He opened his eyes..." The Celestial Sword Sect Sword Cultivators supervising Lin Jing did not expect Lin Jing to stop cultivating so soon. His sudden meditation and the strange act of taking out a mystical plant, the Bodhi Tree, from the Buddhist Sect, was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

But now, something even more incomprehensible came.

Lin Jing, holding the Mechanical Turtle in his hand, made it slowly float upward. As he extended his hand to grasp the turtle, a pale purple jellyfish spirit body was extracted from within.

As soon as this jellyfish spirit appeared, the Celestial Sword Sect strongmen’s faces changed, as they sensed a spiritual power fluctuation no less than the Void Profound level.

"What is that??" One Celestial Sword Sect elder was shocked. What had he seen? Something resembling a Void Profound-level soul was currently being casually manipulated by Lin Jing??

"Ah!!!" In an instant, the dormant Ghost Mother jolted awake under the manipulation of powerful controlling mana, erupting with even more terrifying momentum. "Clang," all the Celestial Sword Sect Sword Cultivators were shocked to find their swords uncontrollably leaving their sides, floating in the air, pointing towards Lin Jing.

"Are you kidding me?" Sword Cultivators, trying to reclaim their flying swords, were stunned as even the life-bonded swords bound by their bloodline refused to obey, releasing fierce sharpness and sword intent towards Lin Jing.

"!!!" The crowd was shocked.

They had absolutely no intention of harming the Demon Court Saint Heir!

How had the flying swords rebelled!

If the Demon Court Saint Heir was killed by a barrage of swords within the Celestial Sword Sect, how could they bear it?

"Supreme Elder, what’s happening??" Someone asked another Void Profound Sword Cultivator nearby, who had been drinking all along but was now aghast, tossing aside his wine gourd: "How would I know, the Sword Soul Granny in my spirit sword is even unable to control the spirit sword now."

The elder grabbed at the flying sword, only to be repelled by it.

"It’s that thing causing trouble!" The Void Profound Sword Cultivator looked at the Ghost Mother under Lin Jing’s control.

"Behave yourself!"

Meanwhile, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Jing’s eyes, "Help me! Those people want to capture you; falling into their hands won’t yield a good end. But listen to me, afterward, everything can be negotiated."

Lin Jing’s Art of Godly Control, not just forcibly enslaving objects, can also twist the will of objects, achieving control conditions. Under Lin Jing’s increased effort to drive the Art of Godly Control, the weakened spirit ghost paused and decided to cooperate with Lin Jing.

After all, any outcome was better than being re-sealed by that altar.

And at the moment he gained control over the spirit ghost, Lin Jing took a deep breath, feeling his mastery over "artificials" had risen significantly, akin to grasping the path under the sword!!!
