Chapter 1161 - Azure Dragon Saint Physique
The Sovereign's Ascension
The entire palace fell silent. Lin Yun didnât dare to utter a word as he sensed the killing intent in the sect masterâs gaze. This old geezer was simply too terrifying, and he could feel that the sect master could kill him with just a glance. He couldnât even pose any resistance against the sect master.
But Ye Zilingâs expression was calm because she didnât think that there was anything wrong with admitting that she had a crush on Flower Burial.
As for the sect master, his heart was raging despite the calm and composed look on the surface. He had worked hard to gather the True Dragon Saint Liquid for Lin Yun, and now Lin Yun wanted to sleep with his daughter?! How could he possibly take it lying down?
âDad, thereâs something wrong with your emotionsâ¦â Ye Ziling locked her brows together because she could sense the fluctuation in the sect masterâs emotions.
âIs there?â The sect masterâs lips twitched.
âIs it weird that Iâve fallen for someone? Furthermore, he might not even know about my feelingsâ¦â Ye Ziling felt even weirder when she looked at the sect masterâs face before she asked, âDad, why do you have such a huge reaction? It looks like you must know his identity. Introduce him to me when heâs back. I want to thank him personally.â
âHa. Ha. I naturally know that bastard.â The sect master said with his lips twitching, âIâll let you know when he comes back.â
âYouâre not allowed to scold him! He saved my life, and I also wonât be able to make a breakthrough if it wasnât for his Nirvana Pellet!â Ye Ziling glared at the sect master.
âHow am I scolding him? Itâs true that heâs a bastard. Right~ Lin Yun?â The sect master said with a mocking smile.
âIndeed, Flower Burial isnât someone proper,â replied Lin Yun.
âLin Yun, what are you talking about?â Ye Ziling glared at Lin Yun furiously.
âHaha, thatâs right. Lin Yun, what are you talking about? Iâm only saying that Flower Burial is a bastard, not that heâs improper. Come, why donât you explain how improper this Flower Burial is?â The sect master said with his eyes squinted while stroking his beard. But the chill in his gaze made Lin Yun feel a chill in his spine.
Seeing that the father and daughter were making things difficult for him, Lin Yun couldnât help crying bitterly. This was caused by Flower Burial, so what did it have to do with him, Lin Yun?! Lin Yun wasnât someone who would take it lying down. But just when he wanted to flare up, he immediately calmed down because of the cold flicker in the sect masterâs gaze.
âCome, explain for us!â The sect master smiled with his eyes squinted.
Looking at the sect masterâs gaze, Lin Yun could only make up stories, âHeâs been hiding his identity, relying on Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect as a backing to cause troubles. So how can he be someone proper? Furthermore, he might be ugly, which is why he has to wear a mask.â
âHaha. Do you hear that? I didnât say that.â The sect master laughed.
âLin Yun, this isnât the end!â Ye Ziling bit her lips and glared at Lin Yun before she stomped her way out. Seeing this, Lin Yun smiled bitterly but he still felt relieved.
After Ye Ziling left, the sect masterâs smile disappeared, âLin Yun, youâre really bold. Iâve been resolving all the troubles you caused in the Profound Azure Prefecture and you repay me with this? You actually want to bed my daughter?! Are you tired of living?!â
âWe havenât taken that step yetâ¦â Lin Yun immediately explained.
âDo you really think that you would still be alive right now if you took that step?!â The sect master continued to glare at Lin Yun. âHmph, if I didnât help you deal with that old geezer from the Heavenly Astral Pavilion, do you think you would still be alive right now?â
The sect masterâs words had instantly confirmed Lin Yunâs speculation. He finally knew why that old geezer in the Dragon Pulse Realm didnât chase him out of the Demon Domain. When he looked into it, later on, he only knew that a sword ray descended from the sky and pinned the guardian of the Heavenly Astral Pavilion onto the building.
Lin Yun had been wondering if it was done by the sect master, and it was now confirmed. At the same time, Lin Yun couldnât imagine how strong the sect master was to subdue the entire Demon Domain with a sword. Thinking about it, Lin Yun became even more nervous.
âYou devoured the origin stone, right?â The sect master looked at Lin Yun before he sneered, âThat lass thinks that she can fool the elders, but she canât fool me!â
âIt was a coincidence. I have no idea how I devoured the origin stone when I fell unconscious.â Lin Yun smiled awkwardly.
âIt doesnât matter,â replied the sect master. âEven if you brought it back, I would still give it to you. Youâre blessed with fortune. I was troubled on how to help you with the last step, but it seems like you resolved it yourself. Furthermore, itâll be a lot easier for you because your body was refined by the origin stone.â
Lin Yun was shocked when he heard that because he didnât think that the sect master would be so generous.
âHmph, Iâm not going to cause trouble because you saved my daughter,â snorted the sect master.
Hmph, your daughter would be dead if it wasnât for me. Lin Yun felt grieved in his heart, but he didnât dare to speak his thoughts.
âLichen and I have been discussing opening up the Spirit Astral Mountain. Youâll also go there three days from now to make your breakthrough,â said the sect master.
âIâll be leaving if thereâs nothing else,â replied Lin Yun.
âScram,â said the sect master.
Feeling relieved, Lin Yun left the sect masterâs residence. But when he opened the gates, he saw Ye Ziling staring at him coldly. This made Lin Yun smile awkwardly, âLady Ye.â
âCall me Senior Sister,â said Ye Ziling coldly.
âSenior Sister Ye,â smiled Lin Yun.
âStop faking it. You clearly know Flower Burial from your conversation with my father. I suggest you spit everything out,â replied Ye Ziling.
Feeling relieved, Lin Yun smiled, âLuo Hua told me about him. You can ask her if you wish to know.â
He couldnât deal with the sect master, but dealing with Ye Ziling was easy. When Ye Ziling heard about Luo Hua, she didnât ask anything else and only expressed her doubt, âAre you sure about that?â
âOf course. The Millennium Flame that you drank also came from her. Sheâs the one who told me about Flower Burialâs identity. Do you think that I would lie to you based on our relationship? Canât you look at my eyes and see that Iâm not lying to you?â Lin Yun replied with an honest expression.
âIâll believe you this time. Luo Hua⦠Luo Huaâ¦â Ye Ziling didnât dare to look Lin Yun in the eyes and stared off with doubt. Then, she started to mutter Luo Huaâs name with killing intent.
After Lin Yun apologized to Luo Hua in his heart, he returned to his residence and pondered about the Spirit Astral Mountain that the sect master told him about. This was the first time he had heard about it, but he guessed that it must be a place similar to the spiritual mountains or spiritual lakes. It wouldnât be opened normally, and once opened, those who entered would have a great boost to their strength.
âI might be able to save my other treasures if the Spirit Astral Mountain is enough,â muttered Lin Yun. The leaves of the Divine Blood Fruit took a year to grow, and Lin Yun naturally hoped that he could save it for the future when making a breakthrough into the Empyrean Realm.
âI should examine the Azure Dragon Saint Physique first.â Lin Yun collected his thoughts and focused on his physique. Ever since obtaining the Azure Dragon Saint Physique, he had yet to give it a try. When he circulated the Azure Dragon Saint Art, a dragon roar echoed from Lin Yunâs body that filled him with power.
The immense power blew his shirt apart, revealing his upper body. He wasnât especially muscular, but his muscles were lean and defined, containing explosive power. Furthermore, the purple-golden dragon runes were also giving off a metallic luster.
âAzure Dragon Mark!â Lin Yun activated the Azure Dragon Mark and crimson flames bloomed in his heart where the mark was located with an ancient and powerful saint rune. Lin Yun was shocked because the Azure Dragon Mark seemed to have fused with the origin stone perfectly, devouring and refining the saint runes on the origin stone.
When the saint rune blazed, the dragon runes on his body quickly spread out like blood vessels on his body, filling his body with unbelievable power.
Then, Lin Yun made a fist and threw out several punches. Each of his strikes were shining with a metallic luster that swept through his entire residence. Lin Yun was shocked because the purple-golden dragon runes had all turned into saint runes when he activated the Azure Dragon Mark. So he had 108 saint runes, which meant his current physique was comparable to a saint artifact with a hundred saint runes!
Lin Yunâs eyes were blazing with excitement when he discovered that. He had lost the Azure Dragon Kingâs true bone and a divine rune. Without the divine rune, the power of his Azure Dragon Saint Armor greatly diminished. But now that he had the Blood Flame saint runes, it was a lot easier for him to control the armor. Granted, it still wasnât the same as the divine rune from the true bone.
He could only bring out 1% or even 0.01% of the power from the divine rune, but at least he could bring out half of the power on the saint runes. He was clearly a lot more powerful than before. The sect master was right, I have a high chance of reaching the limit of the Heavenly Soul Realm now.
His physique had undergone a drastic transformation, but now wasnât the time to feel proud. After all, he wanted to reach the limit of the Heavenly Soul Realm, and he had to be careful.
âLin Yun, I heard that youâre back!â Right at this moment, a familiar voice sounded out followed by Lilâ Purple and Lilâ Red rushing in. Lin Yunâs eyes lit up because it had been a long time since he saw the two of them. He was also curious how strong Lilâ Red had become after devouring a leaf.
