If it weren't for a living, who would choose to be a Court Enshrinement?

Court Enshrinements, to put it bluntly, are just hired thugs!

Even more so, they're used for charging into battle.

They rush to the front when there's trouble!

And have to be at people's beck and call even when there isn't...

Just like this time.

At this moment, Winton was numb.

He was at the peak of the First Tier.

In the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom, in terms of realm alone, he wasn't weak.

But...

The resources needed for cultivation were too much!

A single soul crystal could crush many people.

As everyone knows.

The entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom, and even other countries, were the same... the mines were all controlled by those large families.

It was said that in the past, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom wasn't like this.

In the beginning, mines could even be held by some wandering cultivators and rogue cultivators.

Everyone mined together.

It was a harmonious scene.

But later, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom continuously enfeoffed titles for various reasons, so that today, there were hundreds of marquises alone, and countless counts, viscounts, barons, and so on.

All these titles were granted land.

They occupied nearly 60% of the land resources of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

The remaining 40%, after several generations of development by these titled families, had now been almost entirely fortified by them.

In the vast Dragon Spirit Kingdom, there was almost no inch of land that was not owned...

Naturally, mines were included.

At this time, who could live quietly and peacefully, being their own wandering cultivator or rogue cultivator?

You don't have resources!

So, rogue cultivators from all over had to find those large families to join.

It was all for survival, for becoming stronger.

It was conceivable that after these large families had the addition of many rogue cultivators and wandering cultivators, the treatment they received would be reduced again and again. Being a Court Enshrinement these days was also competitive.

Like this time.

Could Winton not come to this secret realm?

No!

If you don't come, then get out!

At that time, the soul crystals needed for cultivation every month would no longer be given to you.

You would have to buy them from the various families!

Exchange things for them!

Otherwise, you should stop cultivating and wait for the arrival of death.

A person's lifespan is limited.

Below the First Tier, every ten levels of increase adds ten years to your lifespan.

Theoretically, a person at the peak of the First Tier can live to be 270 years old.

What about Winton?

He was 260 years old this year.

In another ten years, if he didn't break through, he would die!

So, he had to come.

He had to come!

But brothers, who understands?

This secret realm, which initially only allowed entry for those at the mid-stage of the First Tier, was forcibly raised to the peak of the First Tier, but after entering... there was actually a demon with the strength of the Second Tier inside!

It seemed that the demon's level and soul cultivation had both reached their peak.

Peak of the Second Tier!

Peak of the Divine Disciple Realm!

How could there be such a disgusting demon in a secret realm for the First Tier?

Really disgusting!

Now, Winton could only honestly listen to Jian Xinmo's words.

He came to the stone statue.

Then, he met the stone statue's eyes.

As a result, the stone statue actually appeared in his Sea of Souls...

"Soul attack?"

*Shua shua shua!*

Winton was shocked.

This was... Ancient Swordsmanship!

What era is this!

Who still understands Ancient Swordsmanship!

Disgusting!

Couldn't fight back at all.

Completely unable to fight!

He didn't even hear the five words 'Jian Yi, Wan Qi Sheng' (Sword One, Myriad Qi Arise).

Winton just stood there blankly in front of the stone statue.

*Shua!*

Jian Xinmo directly stretched out his huge, bumpy hand and slashed through the air.

Winton passed away peacefully.

At least, he passed away unconsciously.

"Trash, trash!"

Jian Xinmo cursed, "Why is it that that person can light up all the stone statues, but you can't even get past the first one? It seems... it seems that this deity can only personally kill him!"

The furious Jian Xinmo began to search everywhere in the Sword Tomb.

At this time, Lin Chen, who was hiding with Jian Nishang, secretly thought things were going badly...

He originally thought that the two people who had just entered could hold Jian Xinmo back for a while longer.

Who knew...

They were really trash!

Lin Chen cursed inwardly.

Suddenly, two souls also stealthily hid over here.

This was really...

Unbearable!

Souls at the peak of the First Tier!

Eat them or not?

Of course he had to eat them, they were great nourishment!

At least he could get 200,000 experience points.

But if he moved, he would definitely be exposed.

"Master... it seems like it hasn't searched only here. It's coming over!" Jian Nishang said in a low voice.

What?

Lin Chen frowned.

From his angle, he couldn't see Jian Xinmo at all.

His perception range was also suppressed by Jian Xinmo at this time.

So, how did Jian Nishang, who was being protected by Lin Chen in this dark corner, know?

"You... can you sense it?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes, my power is all there with it! I'm sorry, Master, I'm holding you back, but... the Sword Heart is on it." Jian Nishang said, "The Sword Heart wants my power, I can't not give it."

Sword Heart!

Lin Chen's thoughts began to stir.

Jian Xinmo was very strong.

Really strong.

At this time, should he escape or fight?

Because the Sword Heart was also very attractive!

Think about it...

This thing could also absorb all of Jian Nishang's power.

If he grew up in the future, and Jian Nishang also grew and became stronger... wouldn't he be invincible at any time in the future?

Because if he had the Sword Heart, he could double his attributes at any time...

That would be too ruthless!

To be honest, Lin Chen really wanted to take a gamble.

But...

How could he gamble?

Jian Xinmo at the peak of the Second Tier.

"With such powerful strength, the current Sword Tomb Secret Realm should have been upgraded to the Second Tier, right? And it's still at the peak of the Second Tier..." Lin Chen thought, and he asked somewhat blankly, "By the way, there's one thing I didn't think of... Nishang, you said that Jian Xinmo is so powerful, at the peak of the Second Tier, I'm afraid no one here can stop it. So, why is it still trapped in this secret realm and doesn't take the initiative to escape?"

"I... I don't know."

Jian Nishang shook her head.

"I have a bold idea, Nishang!"

Lin Chen thought of the stone statue at the entrance, and confirmed to Jian Nishang, "That one at the door, so tall and so big, isn't smaller than Jian Xinmo... When I just glanced at his stone statue, I seemed to feel ten thousand swords piercing my pupils, trying to pry into everything about me. You said, how could the stone statue be so powerful? He's so strong, but what is the reason why he stands at the entrance?"

"Master, what... what are you thinking? That... that's the embodiment of the Primordial Sword Spirit!" Jian Nishang didn't understand Lin Chen's meaning.

So, she could only remind Lin Chen...

That one at the door was an existence that couldn't be provoked even more!

How powerful this secret realm was, it would only be even more powerful!

However, the stone statue itself was harmless.

As long as you don't provoke it.

Jian Nishang only got these messages from the inheritance.

But listening to Lin Chen's words, it seemed...

He wanted to bring this one along too.

He was going to provoke the embodiment stone statue of the Primordial Sword Spirit!

Jian Nishang reminded again, "Although it's just a stone statue, it contains a trace of the Primordial Sword Spirit's original will. Master, you must not do anything stupid!"

"The Primordial Sword Spirit's will? The original will... That is to say, when he separated this will, he should not have fallen into becoming a demon yet. And Jian Xinmo is also the will of the Primordial Sword Spirit, but it was separated after falling into the demonic path."

Lin Chen grinned, "Nishang, I think I might know... Why doesn't Jian Xinmo escape the secret realm? Because... evil can't suppress righteousness! The original will of the Primordial Sword Spirit entered the embodiment stone statue, and then it was suppressed at the entrance. Isn't this to prevent Jian Xinmo from escaping? However, no matter how Jian Xinmo wreaks havoc in the Sword Tomb, the stone statue doesn't care... Perhaps, although the stone statue itself has the will of the Primordial Sword Spirit, it doesn't have any autonomous consciousness at all? Then, how can we activate this will that suppresses Jian Xinmo?"

The original will against the demonized will...

This should be considered bloodline suppression, right?

Lin Chen felt that he seemed to have found the key...

"Never mind, let's take a gamble! I'll go out and try first. Nishang, you continue to hide. I'll let your Sister You Rong protect you." Lin Chen said.

Then, from his waist, he pulled out a woman with a *pa* sound.

"Sister... Sister You Rong?"

Jian Nishang didn't understand.

Then, she saw a red dress.

At this time, the former superstar Yang You Rong happened to look at Jian Nishang.

This corner was a bit dark.

And a bit gloomy.

And Yang You Rong's existence was already a gloomy enough thing in itself.

"I..."

Jian Nishang really wanted to reject Lin Chen's kindness, but...

Yang You Rong directly stuck to her.

In the next moment, Lin Chen rushed out.

*Swoosh swoosh...*

A speed of nearly two thousand yards per second was no different from teleportation.

The two souls that were coming head-on were swallowed.

200,000 soul cultivation experience points were in hand!

At the same time, Yang You Rong behind him also transformed into a Ghost King...

Because the spirits of Winton and Alwang also came over at this time.

Yang You Rong opened her big mouth, and the two wandering spirits were still stumbling around in a daze, but they were all sucked into her mouth.

*Glug!*

After swallowing the two spirits, Yang You Rong actually burped, and then continued to come back and sit in front of Jian Nishang.

There were no more words in Jian Nishang's heart...

Indescribable.

As for the words she originally wanted to refuse and not have Yang You Rong protect her, she couldn't say them.

"Good... so powerful." Jian Nishang could only try to praise Yang You Rong.

As a result, the latter pursed her lips.

She showed an even more underworldly smile...

Jian Nishang was about to collapse!

But fortunately, Yang You Rong didn't continue to smile, she slowly closed her eyes...

Her entire ghost spirit body began to faintly emit a faint glow.

She was about to break through!

And Jian Nishang also sensed that outside, Lin Chen and Jian Xinmo had already clashed.

Her thoughts also flew out.

"It's you, you little bug, who broke the Sword Tomb stone statue at the early stage of the First Tier?"

Jian Xinmo's voice came.

"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"

Lin Chen didn't want to talk to Jian Xinmo at all, so he rejected its call invitation.

He directly used sword moves to speak!

Myriad Swords Return to Origin!

Ten thousand sword energies surrounded Lin Chen's body, hovering and running, one qi generating three qi, three qi generating ten thousand qi, endlessly, continuously... Myriad Swords Return to Origin had no chanting time, but it had a starting stance.

However, Lin Chen could also move while the starting stance was in progress.

Of course, the opponent could also attack.

But Jian Xinmo didn't move.

Instead, it stood still, as if waiting for Lin Chen to make the first move.

Then Lin Chen wouldn't be polite!

Sword momentum, formed!

Sword energy, flourished!

Myriad swords... arose!

The sounds of clanging metal rang out, Lin Chen's sword energy was already at its peak, and even not far from transforming into a mystical state. The degree of solidification of the sword energy was extremely realistic... This was thanks to being endlessly trained by the stone statues in the Sword Tomb Secret Realm for the past few days and nights.

Ten thousand swords flew towards Jian Xinmo, constantly piercing it.

"Come on!"

Jian Xinmo didn't move, but instead thrust out its chest...

Myriad Swords Return to Origin?

I'll let you kill!

Let you return to origin!

"Haha, I am the ancestor of swords!" Jian Xinmo laughed wildly.

At the same time, the sword energy also attacked.

However, it had always been continuously sucked into the sword energy vortex in front of Jian Xinmo's chest.

Lin Chen was about to split apart!

"Damn it, are you cheating?"

He thought he was already a cheater.

Good heavens!

Compared to the Jian Xinmo in front of him, Lin Chen realized... he was at most just a small-time hacker.

And the other side was flying and escaping everywhere, omnipotent, and could also prevent being kicked, chasing you around the entire map asking you if you want to buy a cheat, you have no way to deal with him, and you can't even report him after being killed...

How could he play?

Myriad Swords Return to Origin was useless!

Then, Myriad Swords Return to One was even more useless.

The key was that Lin Chen didn't dare to use it!

Myriad Swords Return to One, although it was the strongest single-target burst kill move, but... it required getting close!

At least it was within forty meters.

Now that his strength was even stronger, it was estimated that this damage range could enter within a hundred yards, but... getting close to Jian Xinmo within a hundred yards?

Lin Chen didn't want to.

Directly flash!

For him, there was only one choice left now...

The sword spirit stone statue at the entrance!

Primordial Sword Spirit!

Born from swords, destroyed by entering the demonic path.

In fact, the Primordial Sword Spirit should have been immortal and indestructible.

But now, it seemed to be gone.

Regardless of whether it was destroyed or not.

In short...

Lin Chen needed it very much now!

He activated the Instant Shadow of Seven Stars Gathering Energy, and used seven consecutive jumps.

Then, his whole person went towards the entrance.

"Want to run?"

Jian Xinmo almost sensed something was wrong in an instant.

In the next moment, he flew high, his whole person soaring into the air.

Sure enough, countless sword energies emerged from the ground and attacked him.

"Haha, your Myriad Swords Return to Origin... I'll give it back to you!"

Jian Xinmo laughed.

Myriad Swords Return to Origin...

Lin Chen's Myriad Swords Return to Origin was still constantly attacking Jian Xinmo's chest from where he was before, but now it seemed that they were all attacking Lin Chen from the ground in reverse.

"Divine Elephant Tramples the Nine Heavens!"

Lin Chen had no moves left.

The difference in strength was too great.

But...

He couldn't give up!

At this time, his target was the stone statue at the entrance.

The distance from where Lin Chen was was actually only a dozen meters away.

But Lin Chen was attacked and had no choice but to fly into the high sky to avoid it.

Now there was no way to avoid it.

Then, how could Lin Chen get to the stone statue?

There was only this one move!

Divine Elephant Tramples the Nine Heavens, three seconds of invincibility!

*Heng wu~*

The Divine Elephant Dharma form appeared.

Then, it stepped down with one foot.

It didn't matter if he faced ten thousand swords piercing his heart.

Because, invincibility!

Immune to all attacks!

With Lin Chen's speed, such a distance was actually enough for one second.

*Boom!*

Lin Chen directly stepped on the top of the stone statue with one foot.

However, the stone statue stood still.

It seemed that this kick's damage was not as good as a mosquito landing on a person... no feeling!

But at that moment, Lin Chen felt as if something had entered his Sea of Souls...

Moreover, an ancient sound resounded in his mind.

"Talent, not bad."

"Who? Who are you, big brother?"

"You are not worthy to ask."

In the next moment, Lin Chen seemed to lose consciousness.

But it was only for a moment.

Lin Chen woke up.

But...

Wait, this was wrong!

"Why am I in the stone statue?"

Lin Chen was speechless.

Where was Jian Xinmo?

Subconsciously, he turned to look.

*Boom!*

The hundred-meter-high stone statue turned around.

The secret realm was shaking violently!

"No... impossible!"

Jian Xinmo roared.

Almost frantically, it roared at the stone statue, "You also chose him? But, this deity does not agree!"

Although Jian Xinmo was very angry, very crazy, roaring and yelling.

However, no matter how you look at its current appearance, how do you feel that it is somewhat strong on the outside but weak on the inside... You can disagree, but why are you retreating while angrily roaring and looking at the 'alive' stone statue?

"Haha, are you afraid?"

At this time, Lin Chen was overjoyed.

Damn it!

Who would have thought that this stone statue could be controlled by himself?

He walked towards Jian Xinmo step by step.

He even slowly spoke in the tone he heard in his mind, "You should come back, come back to where you originally belonged, and become a part of the stone statue..."

"No!"

Jian Xinmo became even more frantic.

Driven crazy!

"This deity does not want to become a smelly and hard stone like you..." Jian Xinmo kept retreating while facing the stone statue.

But at this time, those small stone statues that had been extinguished by Jian Xinmo also recovered their lit state.

Then...

All 333 humanoid stone statues seemed to come alive.

*Da da da!*

Their footsteps were neat.

They were in formation.

The goal of all the stone statue people was very clear... It was Jian Xinmo.

At this time, Jian Xinmo had the stone statue of the Primordial Sword Spirit in front.

Lin Chen was controlling it.

Behind, there were more than three hundred humanoid stone statues, waiting in formation.

Afterwards, those humanoid stone statues dispersed and then formed a formation.

"Primordial Sword Initial Formation!"

For some reason, these five words blurted out from Lin Chen's mouth.

Jian Chu Ben Chu! (Sword Origin Root Origin)

The meaning of these two words was the first sword formation since the Primordial Era!

At this time, the fire in Jian Xinmo's torch eyes was extinguishing.

Its power was also constantly declining.

At the same time, Jian Nishang's power was recovering.

"Master..."

Jian Nishang wanted to see how things were outside now.

Because she couldn't sense Jian Xinmo now, so naturally she couldn't sense the battlefield situation.

But when she saw Yang You Rong right in front of her face...

She thought about it and still didn't dare to move.

"I will never submit even if I die!"

Jian Xinmo's torch eyes suddenly relit, and even at this moment, the entire secret realm began to tremble even more violently...

At the same time, outside the secret realm.

"What's going on? This secret realm... Not good, the secret realm is about to explode!"

Huo Zhi Jin was shocked.

His son and some grandchildren were still inside!

But at this time, how could he care?

The secret realm exploding...

That was something that would leave nothing but corpses within a radius of dozens of miles!

Today's update is complete.

This chapter is a full five thousand words!

Today, it's about fourteen thousand words.

It seems a bit difficult to reach fifteen thousand.

I'll continue to work hard tomorrow!
