CHAPTER 599: CHAPTER 210: SPIRIT SEAL, CONDENSE LIKE CRAZY FOR ME! (6K)_3

Then, she slowly turned to the second page.

The scene switched to a quiet forest, dotted with stars.

Under the night sky, the middle-aged man looked increasingly haggard, sitting alone by the fire with a scraggly beard, staring intently at the flames, lost in thought.

Next to him, a little girl covered in a tattered piece of clothing was curled up, sound asleep.

Lu Yaoyao looked at this picture, her eyes full of tenderness and pity, and couldn’t help but reach out to touch the face of the middle-aged man.

When she turned to the third page, she found herself in a bustling human city.

On the dining table, there were many delicious foods: lotus pastries, sugar-steamed cheese, rice wine balls, mung bean cakes...

The little girl sat at the table, her eyes smiling into slits, seemingly happier than she had been in a long time, eating ravenously with crumbs at the corners of her mouth.

The middle-aged man just sat quietly beside her, though he didn’t show a clear smile, his eyes were full of doting affection, as if the girl’s happiness was his greatest joy.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yaoyao’s lips curved into a slight smile, a warmth flashed in her eyes, but was soon replaced by a touch of sadness.

Because on the fourth page, the middle-aged man appeared as a god of death, holding a broken sword, and a terrifying blood-red curtain appeared behind him.

At this moment, he was in the midst of a fierce battle, facing powerful entities at the Demon Emperor level.

In a distant corner, a little girl was curled up, trembling with fear, waiting anxiously.

She kept staring intently in the direction of the middle-aged man’s battle.

Seeing this page, tears welled up in Lu Yaoyao’s eyes.

There was nothing else.

Since she could remember, she had been on the run with her father, often pursued by those terrifying Demon Emperors.

Several Demon Mountains were near the border of the Holy Martial Dynasty, with more than one Demon Emperor. Perhaps the truth of the past started there.

But that night, Zhou Qing, breathing in his cave mansion, suddenly opened his eyes.

Beside him, Yan Xiaohu poked his head out.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran out.

Many inner and outer courtyard disciples were also awakened from their dreams by the collapsing Spiritual Qi in the air.

Under the night sky, a dazzling beam of light quickly shot up.

"That direction... is it the teacher?" Zhou Qing seemed to think of something, his eyes brightening as he hurried away.

When he arrived, he found that the outer edges were already crowded with inner courtyard disciples, and several mentors were hovering in the air.

Looking towards the source of light, he saw Lin Daochen standing with his eyes closed, surrounded by countless Spirit Seals interwoven with light.

His aura was vigorous as if he had just broken through to the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Realm, with Spiritual Power continuously rushing into him.

Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that the number of Spirit Seals floating around him had exceeded three thousand.

These seals interwove and collided, emitting a pleasant humming sound.

"Three thousand Spirit Seals, it really is three thousand Spirit Seals. Master Lin has finally become a Third-level Array Master."

"Yes, after so many years in the Holy Martial Dynasty, we finally have a third Third-level Array Master. Congratulations!"

"I guess it won’t be long before people from the capital come to congratulate him."

"Ah, I should have studied under the teacher earlier. With such a powerful backing, who would dare to bully me in the future?"

...

The crowd buzzed with discussions, full of amazement and envy.

None expected to witness the birth of a Third-level Array Master up close one day.

Zhou Qing, in the crowd, was genuinely happy for his teacher.

After a long while, Lin Daochen slowly opened his eyes, filled with joy.

"Congratulations, teacher!"

Many students bowed to congratulate him.

Lin Daochen nodded slightly, displaying a gentle and humble smile, "Thank you, thank you!"

Shortly after, the news of Lin Daochen from the White Jade Taixu Courtyard of Vast Mansion advancing to a Third-level Array Master spread quickly.

Two days later, the Governor of Longyuan County personally came to offer congratulations.

After all, this Third-level Array Master came from one of the Nine Mansions under his jurisdiction.

When a large number of Blood Forbidden Army members entered the academy, everyone was full of awe and astonishment.

It was said that the assessment for the Blood Forbidden Army was terrifyingly difficult, with each member needing to reach at least the Divinity Transformation Realm, maintaining a strict three hundred-person lineup.

This meant there were at least three hundred Divinity Transformation Realm experts directly following the orders of Lord Governor.

Such a powerful force made it impossible for any faction to underestimate them.

In the thatched cottage!

Zhong Yao, the Governor of Longyuan County, dressed in a solemn official robe, sat upright in the chair, his eyes fixed on Lin Daochen beside him, full of respect.

"Master Lin, we’ve known each other for a long time, so I’ll get straight to the point," Zhong Yao’s voice was steady and powerful, "I came to visit this time because of the prince’s commission."

Lin Daochen was somewhat surprised, "The prince has an issue?"

Zhong Yao sighed lightly, his expression becoming serious before standing up.

He slowly said, "Since the Demon Emperor of Great Demon Mountain died in Lingyun Mansion, the situation at the border has become increasingly complicated, especially in the past two years, with continuous conflicts causing casualties on both sides."

Zhong Yao paused, then continued, "The prince initially didn’t plan to seek your help, having already invited Master Su and Master Wu to assist secretly in setting up the Defensive Arrays."
