Spirit Aunt

Form Creation Realm, minor achievement!

An extremely deep voice suddenly erupted from within Lin Langtian's body. Black Light surged in his eyes, sharp and domineering.

"Phew."

Lin Langtian swept his gaze around as an immensely powerful aura slowly spread from his body. Its intensity was countless times stronger than before!

"Form Creation Realm!"

Uncontainable delight surged in Lin Langtian's eyes. He had not expected that signing a Bloodline Link with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow would bring him such a benefit.

Below Nirvana lay the Creation Three Realms. Reaching this stage meant entering the ranks of the empire's experts.

At Lin Langtian's original pace, it would have taken him at least several months to truly break through Origin Core Realm Great Perfection and reach the Form Creation Realm.

Yet this opportunity that had fallen into his lap had drastically shortened that time.

If this news spread, his title as the Lin Clan's number one genius would surely be further cemented, and his prestige would rise greatly as well!

As for the Nascent Soul devoured by the Black Flame just now, if Lin Langtian had guessed correctly, it should have been the mysterious Master Mu.

In Lin Langtian's memories, this man had an enigmatic background and formidable strength. With his help, Lin Langtian had gradually risen to prominence and become the clan's number one genius.

If the original Lin Langtian had seen Master Mu destroyed by the Black Flame, he would certainly have been shocked and enraged. After all, Master Mu had provided him with considerable help throughout his growth.

But the reincarnated Lin Langtian knew that Master Mu was no righteous man. Their relationship had merely been one of mutual exploitation.

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had likely seen through Master Mu's treacherous intentions as well, which was why it had eliminated him without hesitation.

Of course, it was also possible that the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had been too weak and devoured Master Mu to replenish its energy.

No matter what, Lin Langtian felt no sense of loss over the destruction of Master Mu's Nascent Soul.

If he had not gained the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow as a powerful backer, he might have played along with Master Mu, drawing nourishment for his growth from him while using each other.

But now that he had signed a Bloodline Link with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, Master Mu was nothing more than a fart—utterly worthless.

"What is your name? And are you not curious about me and this Bloodline Link?"

As Lin Langtian pondered, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's aura gradually recovered a trace. It then looked at Lin Langtian with cold eyes and spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian clasped his hands and said, "I am Lin Langtian. My strength is meager, and I know only that Senior is immensely powerful, far beyond anything I imagined.

As for Senior's origins, if Senior is willing to tell me, I will listen attentively. If Senior is unwilling, I will not mention it again.

As for this Bloodline Link, though I do not fully understand its mysteries, I can sense that it is a special form of contract.

With it, Senior will not harm me, and I will not do anything detrimental to Senior. In this way, we can achieve mutual benefit and a win-win partnership."

"You are quite clever..."

Seeing that Lin Langtian remained so calm and composed before her, and even gave such a thorough explanation, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow looked at him in surprise. Then a trace of appreciation flashed through her eyes.

"Since that is the case, I shall tell you. I am a Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, from the noble Nine Nether Flame Sparrow Clan. The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow Clan is far too distant from this place, so you need not know much else," the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow said indifferently.

Lin Langtian nodded, feigning astonishment.

He knew quite a bit about the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow Clan, but since she regarded him as an ignorant country bumpkin, he had no intention of showing off.

Though they had signed a Bloodline Link, the gap in their strength was still far too great. He still needed to keep his guard up.

"As for why I came here..." At this point, a flash of anger appeared in the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's eyes.

"On a continent far from here, I discovered a supreme treasure. Because of it, I fought and clashed with an expert of the Ancient Sky Eagle Clan.

Unfortunately, that expert of the Ancient Sky Eagle Clan was no easy opponent. Left with no choice, I could only choose to perish together with him. I originally thought I would fall there, but unexpectedly, I drifted to this continent and attached myself to your body.

Seeing that you and I were fated, and that my essence soul was about to dissipate, I signed a Bloodline Link with you, binding our lives together from then on."

By the end, an awkward expression flashed over the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's face. Clearly, signing a Bloodline Link with a human was something rather degrading, even slightly humiliating, for such a proud Nine Nether Flame Sparrow.

But the situation had been urgent. If not for the crucial life energy provided by the Bloodline Link, her essence soul would likely have already dispersed, leaving nothing behind in this world.

Since things had come to this, she could only accept the result. Once she recovered to her peak, she would try to dissolve it.

As for Lin Langtian, at worst, she could simply give him more compensation...

Upon hearing the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's words, a trace of surprise arose in Lin Langtian's heart.

After all, in his recollection, after his soul had transmigrated to the Great Thousand World, it had inexplicably fused with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's essence soul. They had then arrived at the Heavenly Profound Continent, where he had taken over Lin Langtian's body.

However, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow seemed to have fallen asleep during that period and knew nothing of what had happened. She had mistaken him for the true Lin Langtian of the Heavenly Profound Continent.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's expression shifted slightly, but he had no intention of explaining.

His reincarnation was extraordinarily strange even in the Great Thousand World. After all, this was not a world of immortals and martial arts.

Since it could not be explained clearly, he would bury the matter in his heart.

From this day onward, he was the true Lin Langtian!

"By the way, I devoured the Nascent Soul within your body. You do not resent me for it, do you?" the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow asked again.

Lin Langtian came back to his senses and smiled. "Of course not. That Nascent Soul was called Master Mu. He was an expert I encountered by chance. Although he helped me greatly, I could tell that he was only using me.

Since Senior eliminated him, Senior must have seen his malicious intentions as well. Naturally, I bear no resentment."

"Oh? Since you saw through that Nascent Soul's intentions, why did you still cooperate with him? Were you not afraid of seeking a tiger's hide?" The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's eyes flickered as she asked.

"Where there is risk, there is reward. I come from a humble background, so naturally I had to gamble on it. Heaven and earth are boundless. For a sliver of hope, I am willing to make myself a chess piece!" Lin Langtian declared solemnly.

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow looked at Lin Langtian with some surprise.

As a noble Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, she had seen countless geniuses in her lifetime. Even the finest geniuses on this continent had never caught her attention.

Yet although Lin Langtian's talent was ordinary, he gave her a distinctly different feeling.

Perhaps this young man from a low plane would bring her quite a surprise?

Shaking her head, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow cast aside the unrealistic thought and said, "Since you wish to see the vastness of the outside world, I can help you.

Now that we are linked by bloodline, you can already use some of my abilities. If you make good use of them, you will be more than capable of sweeping aside those at the same level, or even fighting above your level.

But as a condition, you must also do something for me. I have suffered severe injuries and need some nourishment."

"What kind of nourishment?" Lin Langtian asked.

"Essence souls. The higher the grade of the demonic beast's essence soul, the better." No sooner had the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow finished speaking than she felt a wave of weakness. She then said, "My injuries are too severe. I must fall asleep next. The matter of high-grade demonic beast essence souls should be handled as soon as possible."

Lin Langtian hurriedly nodded. Then, thinking of something, he asked, "May I know how I should address Senior?"

"As for how to address me... call me Spirit Aunt."

After saying that, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's aura gradually weakened as she fell into slumber...
