Chapter 943: Chapter 943
He thought of Ling Wu.
Li Kaiyan had grown up in the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, blessed with superior cultivation conditions, with the clan showering him with extreme affection, allowing him to act spoiled towards anyone.
But Ling Wu had relied on herself since childhood.
She never had the chance to act spoiled.
Now, she had been stuck at the Emperor Realm bottleneck for several years.
And he had no way to help.
It was truly heartbreaking.
Over the years, he also understood that it would be difficult for Ling Wu to break through to the Emperor Realm.
Perhaps only when a Divine being is born in the future can she be helped!
Thereafter, Ling Chen began cultivating.
He was cultivating the path of the Divine Soul.
In the year since the Heavenly Alliance was established, his focus had been on Spirit Art, allowing him to successfully cultivate the ninth form.
However, the path of the Divine Soul remained at the three-star peak level.
Although aided by the Nine Heavens Profound Flame, it only strengthened the Divine Soul.
It could not directly boost one’s cultivation.
To improve cultivation, he needed to comprehend more of the Heaven and Earth Power.
That would take time.
From the three-star peak to four-star, there was a bottleneck.
Even if he managed to improve, it wouldn’t significantly enhance his strength.
At that time, to enhance his strength as much as possible, Ling Chen chose to cultivate the Green Lotus Sword Manual.
But now there was time.
He could focus on cultivating the Divine Soul.
The night passed without words.
At the Hour of the Dragon the next morning.
Ling Chen, Li Xuankong, Li Qingkong, and Li Kaiyan arrived at the Elder Hall.
The Great Elder spoke.
He then led the four towards the Sword Tomb.
The Sword Tomb’s location was known only to the Clan Leader and the Great Elder in the entire clan.
The five arrived at a Land of Nothingness.
There was nothing around.
The Great Elder stopped, took out four tokens, and handed them to the four.
The one Ling Chen received was the most unique.
It had a wine jug and a sword carved on it.
The other three’s only had a wine jug.
"Activate it with Green Lotus Sword Qi tainted by your bloodline."
Instructed the Great Elder.
The four immediately activated their Green Lotus Sword Qi.
And vanished from the spot.
Ling Chen suddenly appeared in a graveyard.
As far as the eye could see, there were graves everywhere.
Every grave had a tombstone.
"The Tomb of the Flowing Shadow Sword!"
"The Tomb of the Fenguang Sword!"
"The Tomb of the Purple Cloud Sword!"
They were all sword graves.
Judging by their numbers, there were probably no less than tens of thousands.
"So this is the Sword Tomb?" Get full chapters from noveⅼfire.net
Ling Chen was taken aback.
To erect tombstones for swords, one could see how obsessed this person was with swords.
Truly living up to the name of the Sword Tomb.
Ling Chen wandered this graveyard for a long time.
But never saw a single figure.
The Great Elder had said that upon entering, one could see the ancestors.
But there was no one.
The ancestors still hadn’t appeared.
Ling Chen walked towards the edge of the graveyard.
But found himself unable to leave.
No matter how he walked, he ended up back in the same spot.
Ling Chen decided to cultivate in this place.
A figure approached from afar.
It was a young man in a white robe, black hair fluttering, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an ethereal and elegant aura.
However, the young man never once looked at Ling Chen.
He was just busy sweeping the tombs.
He was a Tomb Sweeping Man.
Beside each grave, he would sit for a long time, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, quite peculiar.
Some visits were as short as an hour, others lasted a whole day.
Only after visiting all the graves did the young man look towards Ling Chen, and say, "Kid, care to chat with me?"
The young man appeared even younger than Ling Chen, yet he referred to Ling Chen as "kid," which was truly peculiar.
Though he was skeptical, Ling Chen was almost certain that this person was indeed the ancestor.
Seeing Ling Chen agree, the young man said no more.
He started to walk away.
Ling Chen hurriedly followed.
This time, Ling Chen finally walked out of the graveyard.
Only then did he realize it was atop a mountain.
Going down the mountain.
A booming sound echoed.
It turned out to be a waterfall.
At the bottom of the waterfall, there was a thatched cottage.
This must be the young man’s residence.
Indeed, the young man entered the house.
Then the two sat by a window, with a view of the waterfall outside.
With that, the young man grabbed a wine jug and headed to the waterfall.
He then threw the wine jug into the pool formed below the waterfall.
Finally, pulling on the thin rope tied to the jug, he retrieved it.
The young man poured water from the jug for Ling Chen.
Ling Chen lifted a porcelain bowl and drank it all.
Ling Chen was dumbfounded.
The scene of the young man fetching water had not left Ling Chen’s sight for even a moment.
But how could the water turn into wine?
The young man’s face lit up with pride, "How is it? My Wine Waterfall isn’t bad, huh?"
Ling Chen was shocked.
The several-story-high waterfall outside wasn’t water but Alcohol Immortal?
My god, how much wine must it take to form a waterfall!
The ancestor must be mad, right?
Even good wine shouldn’t be !
"Is it really all wine?"
Ling Chen asked in a trembling voice.
"You can try for yourself!"
The young man laughed.
Ling Chen dashed out of the thatched cottage and stood before the pool.
He scooped up a handful of water and drank it.
The water had not a hint of alcohol, yet in his mouth, it was unmistakably Alcohol Immortal.
Moreover, the alcohol here was even richer than what Ling Chen had tasted in Green Lotus City.
Unbeknownst to him, the young man appeared beside Ling Chen.
The young man patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, "Come back."
With that, the two returned straight to the thatched cottage.
"You know my identity, right?"
The young man nodded and asked, "You are the new Young Master, right? What’s your name?"
At this moment, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He clearly remembered the previous Young Master, a six-star Emperor.
This time, the Young Master was only a three-star Emperor.
Even more peculiar was the dual cultivation of Spiritual Power and Divine Soul.
"Ancestor, I’m Ling Chen."
The young man nodded and said, "Has our Green Lotus Ancient Clan faced some disaster?"
Ling Chen shook his head.
"Then it seems you’re quite special, kid."
The young man chuckled and did not inquire further.
He didn’t wish to meddle too much in the younger generation’s matters.
He couldn’t help but ask only because Ling Chen’s cultivation seemed low.
"Ancestor, I’ve been here a long time, for the Alcohol Transformation Technique and the tenth form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual."
Ling Chen stated plainly.
"Kid, what’s the hurry."
The young man chuckled, "Today’s task is not to leave until drunk! It’s been a while since I’ve drunk with someone, I kind of miss it!"
"Alright, then I’ll keep you company!"
If he used Spiritual Power, he would almost never get drunk.
However, not using Spiritual Power and relying solely on his physical body’s bloodline to neutralize the alcohol would be a bit challenging.
Looking back, it seemed he had never been drunk before.
Then the two clinked and swapped cups.
Though it was ancestor and descendant.
They later began calling each other brothers.
This drinking session lasted three days and nights in total.
Ling Chen was thoroughly drunk.
