Chapter 1360 - I Am Lin Yun
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun turned around and could see the entire sky spinning as the sea raged. The entire Profound Wither Island was finally crumbling
âLin Yun, donât go. Itâs too dangerous!â Lilâ Purpleâs voice resounded from the sword box with her tone filled with concern. The restriction that was left behind by the Profound Wither Great Saint was beginning to crumble, making the space around it violently fluctuate. As for the Profound Wither Island, it naturally fell into chaos.
âI have to find Tang Jingâs corpse no matter what,â said Lin Yun with a grave expression. âAt least, I have to try.â
He could understand what Luo Shuyi was feeling, and this was why he wanted to help her. It was so much so that he would do it even if Luo Shuyi didnât ask him for help. As the Golden Crow Wings unfolded behind him, he carefully travelled around the shattering dimension.
Just like that, Lin Yun shuttled through the rubble. If he remembered correctly, Tang Jingâs corpse shouldnât have been far from the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda. As long as he could find the pagoda, he should be able to find Tang Jingâs corpse. But it wasnât easy. The entire Profound Wither Island was collapsing with rubble floating in the surroundings.
Not only was his vision being hindered, but the surrounding space was also in chaos. When Lin Yun sat on a huge rock, he could sense a surge of danger with his sword intent and quickly shifted away. In the next moment, space began to crumble on the huge rubble he previously stood on. But before he could catch his breath, the shattering space turned into a violent storm that swept out.
The surrounding space was being sucked into the storm and disappeared in the blink of an eye. As for Lin Yun, he was like a bird flying in the violent storm, and he had pushed the Divine Sunchasing Art to the limit. But even so, he was still very careful, feeling like he had experienced a hundred years, and each breath he took might be his last.
âLightning Shadow Sword!â Lin Yunâs eyes lit up a long time later when he saw the Lightning Shadow Sword that was plunged into a huge rock. He nearly forgot about it and Jian Tiantian would probably kill him if he lost it. After a few flickers, Lin Yun landed on the huge rock and pulled the Lightning Shadow Sword out.
âLin Yun, look over there!â Lilâ Purpleâs voice resounded.
When Lin Yun looked to the left, his eyes flashed. He found the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda. Perhaps because of the pagoda, the surrounding ground had yet to completely collapse.
When Lin Yun swept his glance out, many rocks were swept over by a storm that appeared before him. Each huge rock contained a terrifying power and looked like a stone dragon.
âBreak!â Lin Yun roared as he swung out the Lightning Shadow Sword. With his firmament sword intent empowering the sword, the runes on the Lightning Shadow Sword shone brightly and the rocks were severed into two.
Stomping his foot on the ground, the huge rock beneath his foot broke apart and Lin Yun soared to the sky, passing through the gaps that he had created with the Lightning Shadow Sword and landed on the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda.
He discovered that there was someone still alive. When he turned his head over, he realized that it was Qin Cang. He was still alive, relying on his instincts to slowly crawl on the ground with great difficulty.
When Qin Cang heard the commotion that Lin Yun had created, he yelled, âAre you Martial Uncle? Save me, Iâm Qin Cang! Since Iâm still alive, I will definitely rise in the future. I will also repay the humiliation that Lin Yun gave me a hundred-fold! When I reach the Dragon Pulse Realm, I will pay him back! I, Qin Cang, will definitely not die here. Bring me with you, I want to seek the Saint Sovereign for forgiveness because I have betrayed his trust. Bring me back, Iâm not a cripple. As long as I still have a breath left, I will definitely rise up again! So donât leave me behind!â
Looking at Qin Cang crawling to his feet, Lin Yun merely looked at the former without any expression on his face. Qin Cang was already in this state, but he still wanted to take revenge. This made Lin Yun realize that Qin Cang had no regrets about what he had done.
âWhy arenât you speaking? Do you think that Iâm a cripple? Since I can rise in the Nether Divinity Clan as the son of a concubine, I will definitely be able to do it again! Bring me back! I donât want to die here! I want to see Saint Sovereign! I want to take revenge against Lin Yun, so please, bring me back!â Qin Cang sobbed while he grabbed onto Lin Yunâs feet with his remaining arm.
But right at that moment, a familiar voice resounded, âI am Lin Yun.â
Those four words resounded within Qin Cangâs ears and was instantly him dumbfounded. He quickly let go of Lin Yunâs feet and quickly backed away. But Lin Yun couldnât even be bothered to take a look at him. When three thousand dragon runes gathered to his feet, he gave Qin Cang a kick, âGet lost!â
Just like that, Qin Cang shot out like a cannonball and was sent flying away, leaving this region that could still be considered safe. Lin Yun said that he wouldnât kill Qin Cang, but Qin Cang was simply too disgusting for him to look at. He had made up his mind that he would kill Qin Cang with a stomp if he couldnât find Tang Jingâs corpse.
Following his memory, Lin Yun continued forth and it didnât take long for him to see Tang Jingâs corpse. Tang Jing died a horrible death when he was killed by Qin Cang after he spoke a sentence. Even in his death, he couldnât protect Luo Shuyi from being disfigured. Lin Yun wasnât a heartless person. On the contrary, he was a person filled with warmth and affection.
âWait!â Just when Lin Yun was about to step forth, a voice resounded from the sword box.
âWhatâs wrong?â Lin Yun asked.
âDonât move. Thereâs someone over there! That person is here again!â Lilâ Purple said anxiously and this tone of herâs was rare.
When Lin Yun raised his head and focused his firmament sword intent in his eyes, he couldnât say anything. There was no one aside from Tang Jing. But suddenly, he could feel a chill down his spine and the Lightning Shadow Sword in his hand also began to tremble. This instantly made Lin Yunâs face change as he took several steps back.
Yu Qingfeng was standing beside Tang Jing. He raised his head to look at Lin Yun, who had arrived. Looking at Lin Yun retreating figure, he smiled before his gaze fell onto Tang Jing once more, âItâs this young lad again.
âIs he that old fellowâs grandson? He really died a terrible death. Uh, but at least his aura hasnât dissipated yet, so he should still have a chance.â Yu Qingfeng lifted Tang Jingâs corpse and flew towards the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda.
This scene left Lin Yun shocked as he looked at Tang Jingâs corpse that suddenly flew into the air and entered the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Right at that moment, the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda released a rainbow light that distorted space before Tang Jing disappeared. This made Lin Yun feel a chill down his spine and finally believed what Lilâ Purple said before that there was someone else there.
âIs it that person who came when I was refining the Great Saint Origin?â Lin Yun asked.
âItâs him. You should know about him because youâve heard of him before,â said Lilâ Purple.
What Lilâ Purple said left him dumbfounded. He then asked, âWho?â
âThe Sword Emperor, Yu Qingfeng!â
Lin Yunâs heart sank when he heard that. This wasnât the first time he had heard that name. That name was resounding, and was practically a legend. He then asked, âWhy did he take Tang Jing away with him?â
âPerhaps he has a way to save Tang Jing,â said Lilâ Purple.
âThe dead can come to life?â Lin Yun asked in a shocked tone.
âOf course not,â said Lilâ Purple. âBut the death that you know of might not be death in the eyes of many. Tang Jingâs neck is broken, but his body hasnât completely died, at least not his heart. As for his soul, itâs definitely still around because it hasnât been long.â
Hearing that, Lin Yun rejoiced, âTang Jing can still be saved?â
âIt might be hard for many people. At least divine elixirs are needed. But since Yu Qingfeng has made a move, he should be pretty confident about it. After all, the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda was left behind by the Profound Wither Great Saint. Donât forget what the Profound Wither Great Saint is proficient at,â said Lilâ Purple.
âLife-death dao! Youâre talking about the life-death dao!â Lin Yunâs eyes lit up when he heard that. This also made Lin Yun let out a breath of relief that Tang Jing could be saved. This also meant that Luo Shuyi wouldnât be that sad.
âThe Sword Emperor, Yu Qingfeng isnât the same as the legend,â muttered Lin Yun. After all, the Sword Emperor was someone who sliced two peaks from the Sword Sect, allowing the strongest Sword Sect to become the Ancient Barren Domainâs Sword Sect. He initially thought that someone of that caliber would be domineering and view the lives of others as mere ants. He never expected that the Sword Emperor would actually pay attention to the life and death of a small figure.
âItâs true that he doesnât have any ill intentions. But you canât just look at things on the surface because the Profound Wither Great Saint had his guard up against the Sword Emperor,â said Lilâ Purple once more.
âWhat do you mean?â Lin Yun had a feeling that he had missed out on something important.
âDo you still remember when the Profound Wither Great Saint said that he didnât know where the Southern Emperorâs tomb was located?â
âI do.â
âThen you should remember that he said that you will be able to find the Southern Emperorâs real tomb one day. Do you remember that the Southern Emperor is buried together with his wife?â
âOf course I do,â said Lin Yun before his face drastically changed because he finally knew what he had missed.
âDo you understand now?â Lilâ Purple asked. âSince the Profound Wither Great Saint said that he doesnât know where the Southern Emperorâs real tomb is located, how will he know that the Southern Emperor is buried together with his wife? He said that the Profound Wither Key is a container, but I feel that it might be involved with where the Southern Emperorâs tomb is located. I believe that youâll know if Iâm right after you undo the nine restrictions.â
Lin Yun briefly pondered before he said, âSo the Profound Wither Great Saint didnât tell me because of the Sword Emperorâs existence?â
âThatâs only a speculation. The Sword Emperor shouldnât have any ill intentions, and the Profound Wither Great Saint might also not know where the Southern Emperorâs tomb is located. I overheard that the Profound Wither Great Saint owed the Sword Emperor one, and the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda was a repayment.â
Lin Yunâs eyes flickered because he had no idea about the connections. Right at that moment, a sword vibration echoed as a sword ray pierced through the layers of vortexes before a figure landed beside Lin Yun.
âWhy are you standing here? Quick, leave!â It was Feng Jue who came for Lin Yun.
âIâ¦â Lin Yun replied.
But before he could finish, Feng Jue interrupted him and raged, âYouâre really reckless. Why are you still staying here if you canât find Tang Jingâs corpse? Whatâs the matter? You want me to collect your corpse? Leave with me now or Iâll break your legs!â
Lin Yun was startled by those words because he had never seen Feng Jue so furious. At the same time, he didnât doubt that Feng Jue would really break his legs. After all, his legs could still be healed after being broken.
Right at that moment, a group of people holding onto the Profound Sky Umbrella entered and landed beside Qin Cang, who still had a breath left.
This made Feng Jue wear a grave expression before he sighed, âYouâre really in deep trouble now.â
After he was done, he grabbed onto Lin Yunâs shoulder and flew out of the Profound Wither Island.
