nBut now, everyone from the Wang Clan shut their mouths. They no longer dared to sound any dissatisfaction with Lin Yun. After ensuring that no one would make a move against him anymore, Lin Yun opened his palm, which the grey-clothed figure returned to the token.

nCrack!

nThe crack on the token seemed more extensive than before. He only had one last chance left. Thinking of how this Cosmic Treasure could only be used once, Lin Yun found it a pity.

n“This kid is incredible…”

n“His Cosmic Treasure is a token that contains the intent of an ancient powerhouse. Judging from the appearance, it should be the Iris Sword Saint.”

n“If he’s using another Cosmic Treasure, he will not be able to occupy a lotus seat with his strength.”

n“Don’t be sour about it. The Cosmic Treasure was something that he snatched with his strength. You can try and snatch one for yourself if you have the ability.”

n“Heh, heh! The Blood Cloud Sect left in fright, which means that there are still three lotus seats left!”

n“Oh, yeah!”

nStrength was respected in the Azure Sun County. So no one criticized Lin Yun for taking a lotus seat. But they had directed their attention onto the three emptied lotus seats, and only Wang Ning was looking at Lin Yun in shock.

nA year ago, Lin Yun was nothing more but an outstanding disciple in that garbage sect. There was nothing remarkable about his cultivation and aptitudes. But had witnessed how Lin Yun improved. Even without that Cosmic Treasure, he was sure that Lin Yun was stronger than him.

nWorse of all, Lin Yun’s gaze directed at him, was cold.

nDoes he know that I forced Senior Hong to commit suicide? Wang Ning pondered uneasily. He naturally knew about the relationship that Lin Yun and Senior Hong shared in the Azure Sky Sect.

nIf Senior Hong hadn’t taken care of him, Lin Yun would definitely suffer even more like a sword slave. However, he did not feel that Lin Yun knew how he forced Senior Hong to death. After all, only he and Wang Bo were present at that time.

nIt didn’t matter because there was no way he could keep this brat alive!

nIt didn’t matter if Lin Yun knew about it. Based on how Lin Yun messed with him earlier, it was more than enough for him to kill Lin Yun!

nWhen he made up his mind, Wang Ning looked at Lin Yun with an icy gaze. It just so happens that Lin Yun was also looking at him, and Lin Yun’s murderous gaze made Wang Ning feel a chill down his spine.

nI’ll let you live for now. Lin Yun muttered inwardly and retracted his gaze.

nOtherwise, he would be able to kill Wang Ning directly. When he raised his head, his eyes fell onto Bai Lixuan and Si Xueyi, but their eyes were tightly closed. It seemed like the two of them paid no attention to the commotion that he’d caused. Then again, they have every reason to be prideful.

nWithdrawing his gaze, Lin Yun cleared his mind and started circulating the Iris Sword Sutra to replenish the exhausted spiritual energy in his body. That battle earlier was dangerous, and he had to recover his strength as soon as possible.

nBoom!

nWhen he closed his eyes, a tragic battle for the three lotus seats broke out. The battle was intense, and even if Lin Yun did not open his eyes to look, he could sense the shocking killing aura accompanied by bloodcurdling wails.

nThe fierce battle lasted for the time to burn two sticks of incense joss. With that, all eighteen lotus seats were all occupied. All the experts in the Azure Sun County were gathered here, and those Xiantian Realm cultivators who could occupy a lotus seat couldn’t be underestimated.

nRustle!

nThe fire began to gush out from the Sky Piercer Altar once more. Eighteen beams descended onto the eighteen lotus seats, enveloping those on it.

nWhen the light fell onto Lin Yun, he could sense a warm current seeping into his body, fusing with his blood, bones, cells, and even soul. In the next second, mighty energy gushed out from the Sky Piercer Altar.

nBoom!

nThe eighteen people on the lotus seats vanished in the next moment. When everyone else saw this phenomenon, they couldn’t contain the envy in their eyes. After all, there was a possibility that those in the lotus seats could bring a martial technique to greater mastery if they comprehended the dao left behind by the predecessors in the altar.

nSo much so that even complete mastery wasn’t impossible. This experience would benefit them for a lifetime, and even their horizon would be greatly expanded.

nMost importantly, if their improvements were fast enough, the Sky Piercer Altar would even bestow them ancient martial techniques. The martial techniques that came from the golden age were stronger than the martial techniques of this era.

nEven if they couldn’t use it, they could sell it to the four clans and four sects for Xiantian pellets. But for most people, the opportunity to comprehend dao wasn’t worth it for them to fight. What they were looking at were the ancient martial techniques that they could obtain from the lotus seats.

nCompared to dao comprehension that couldn’t be measured, the martial techniques were more important. However, only those who were in it would know which was better.

nSucked into the Sky Piercer Altar, Lin Yun experienced brief dizziness before his vision suddenly changed. He was standing on a platform. The entire space was dark, and he could only see a lump of flame blazing before him. That flame seemed within his reach, but it also seemed distant. With the concept of space and time here distorted, it gave a mysterious feel.

nLin Yun looked around and saw no one else. He guessed that everyone must’ve been transported to a separate world. The spiritual energy here was rich, filled with mysterious fluctuation. This place was simply a sacred ground for cultivation!

nBoom!

nBut while Lin Yun was looking around, that mysterious flame suddenly rose into the sky and exploded. Steaks of flame flew across the horizon, lighting up the darkness into a boundless starry sky. They were like meteors sliding down from the sky. Lin Yun was shocked, looking at the starry sky that appeared out of nowhere.

n“These meteors must be the dao comprehended by the predecessors, right?”

nLin Yun muttered softly, looking at the meteors falling from the sky. His eyes were widened, staring at the falling meteors. He was focused on a meteor, which was expanding in his eyes and transformed into boundless space.

nHe could see a figure performing all sorts of martial techniques. So it turns out that every meteor had recorded the scene of ancient martial techniques comprehended by ancient powerhouses.

nIn just a short while, a massive tide memory fragments gushed into his mind.

n“It hurts!” Lin Yun closed his eyes after watching more than a dozen people practicing their martial techniques. It was to the extent that his head nearly exploded. But Lin Yun soon understood something.

nThe meteors would eventually end, and this should be the rest of those elite disciples back then. Before the flame extinguishes, Lin Yun had to absorb as many memory fragments as possible. The more he comprehended, it would imply that his comprehension was higher.

nWhen he woke up, Lin Yun quickly absorbed the insights left behind by the predecessors. Each scene was complicated, and he had to comprehend the insight within to be considered a complete comprehension. Otherwise, the memory fragments would overload his mind, making it impossible for him to continue observing the meteors.

n“This fist technique is interesting. Using soft energy to overcome tough energy and water to crush the mountain. A drop of water can evolve into such a terrifying fist technique.”

n“The profundity of wind… A blade technique can be so graceful, how incredible!”

n“This movement technique… it’s hard to tell if it’s like wind traveling in the horizon or clouds in the sky…”

nLin Yun was absorbing all sorts of dao insights. While most people would think hard over them, Lin Yun wore an excited smile on his face.

nAfter a while, Lin Yun looked around, and everything was just as he had expected. The sky had turned darker, and the meteors were reduced by a third.
