Baptism of the Flesh
The ancient sun slowly rose from the other side of the coastline, and dawn broke.
The azure Light Barrier that had enveloped Lin Dong for over ten days finally dissipated, revealing a tall and perfect body beneath it. He stretched lazily.
"Big brother, you're awake?"
Just then, a clear, childlike voice rang in his ears.
"Hmm, I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time. My body has never felt so perfect before, and all my hidden injuries have been healed."
Lin Dong clenched his fists, silently feeling the immense power flowing through his limbs and bones, as if a single punch could shatter a Giant Peak.
"Hehe, this is a great benefit of cultivating our clan's Undying Heaven Evolution Technique. At the moment of cultivating the Undying Heaven Evolution Technique, the cultivator will undergo a perfect baptism of origin. Under this baptism, the physical body will reach perfection and remove all adverse conditions."
"However, this kind of baptism can only be performed once in a lifetime for each cultivator."
Mu Lingshan rested her chin on her hand and blinked her big, dark eyes as she spoke.
"A physical baptism indeed! The Undying Heaven Evolution Technique truly lives up to its Master of Life and Death for the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe. Its power is no less than that of my Dao Sect's Great Desolation Scripture."
Lin Dong sighed for a moment, then glanced at his side and asked in surprise, "Eh, Senior Mu Lan has already left?"
"Yes, Third Grandfather left last night. We should be able to reach the outer edge of the Heavenly Thunder Sea Region in half a day at most," Mu Lingshan said with a smile.
"Let's just fly there. The Sea Suppressing Mysterious Whale is too conspicuous and is also a target for many forces. Bringing it along will only harm it."
Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan took flight together and waved to the hardworking sea monster. "Big guy, go home now, we're leaving."
"Moo!"
The giant, azure whale, hundreds of feet long, let out a deep roar, as if signaling something to the two of them. With a flick of its tail, it sank back into the sea.
"I Sense Stage the location of the other two keys. Let's go."
On the outskirts of a vast sea covered in black thunderclouds, two figures, one large and one small, swiftly parted the clouds and descended towards a giant island below.
Because the Heavenly Thunder Sea Region was filled with lightning waterfalls that would gradually dissipate after three days, Gold Prospector from all over gathered on the outer Heavenly Thunder Island to wait for the lightning waterfalls to dissipate.
Of course, there is an even more important reason: two of the three keys to unlocking the cave dwellings of Cycle Stage Expert are stationed on Heavenly Thunder Island.
The Desolate Ancient City, sealed for hundreds of years, was once again filled with Gold Prospector. On the only towering building in the city, in this place of great interest, there was a small table where a handsome man and a beautiful woman sat facing each other.
The man was dressed in black with black hair and wore a black cloak. His rugged face had a certain elegance, but his tightly pursed lips revealed a hint of meanness.
The woman wore a simple white dress, her long black hair cascading from her shoulders to her slender waist. Her features were exquisite, her skin fair and delicate, and she possessed a breathtaking beauty.
Such beauty and temperament are probably only rivaled by Ling Qingzhu.
Pang Hao, the leader of the Four Demon Generals of the Nine Nether Gate, Liu Xiangxuan, the Saintess of the Profound Heaven Hall.
"The holder of the third key has arrived. It seems he has discovered us and is rushing here at high speed."
Suddenly, the Black Clad Man raised an eyebrow and said.
"The holder of the third key? Lin Dong, this super genius from the Eastern Xuan Region is extraordinary. Death Mysterious Stage Evil Wind Cave Heaven without any injury. He already possesses strength far exceeding ours."
The dignified White-robed Beauty knelt gracefully, turning the white jade ring in her palm with her delicate hand; her inner world was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Born into the Dao Sect, the second-ranked of the Eight Great Super Sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, he is the current Chief Seat of the Dao Sect, the number one young person in the Eastern Xuan Region, proficient in the Four Great Scripture of the Dao Sect, and a powerful expert at the Life Mysterious Stage, Great Perfection.
He killed four powerful experts at the Death Mysterious Stage in succession, which enraged the Evil Wind Cave Heaven. They issued Dao Sect arrest warrants, and even the Cave Master, Wu Xuan, a giant at the Samsara Stage, had to break out of seclusion to deal with him personally.
Strangely, Wu Xuan returned to the sect a month after disappearing, the first thing he did was to withdraw the sect's arrest warrant for Lin Dong and issue a gag order to the entire sect, keeping silent about everything that happened during his disappearance.
Many powerful figures originally thought that no matter how strong Lin Dong was, he was just a lone wolf. The Dao Sect, the power behind him, was Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region. No matter how far their influence reached, it couldn't extend into their Chaotic Demon Sea. Now, they were completely silenced.
The only person who could possibly cause Wu Xuan, a Samsara Stage expert, to run into trouble was another Samsara Stage expert. The fact that Lin Dong actually had a Samsara Stage giant hidden behind him, right in the Chaotic Demon Sea, added another layer of mystery to his identity.
However, there is no doubt that Lin Dong, who was able to kill four Death Mysterious Stage experts and escape unscathed, has proven to the world that he possesses formidable combat power at the first level of the Death Mysterious Stage.
In terms of identity, status, and strength, Lin Dong is in no way inferior to Pang Hao, the leader of the Four Demon Generals of the Nine Nether Gate, and Liu Xiangxuan, the Saintess of the Profound Heaven Hall, and may even be slightly superior.
As fellow holders of the Silver Tower Key, how could Pang Hao and Liu Xiangxuan not pay attention to Lin Dong's information and whereabouts?
"It's just a method that can threaten Death Mysterious Stage expert. We are all young geniuses of the Chaotic Demon Sea, so naturally we can do the same. Some ignorant people are praising Lin Dong too much."
Pang Hao gave a displeased snort.
He was a Life Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion, the number one young person in the Nine Nether Gate, and ranked over 30th on the Rising Stars Ranking in the Chaotic Demon Sea. Yet, a newcomer had climbed above him. Although this kid's background was no less than his, how could he accept it?
The White-robed Beauty smiled noncommittally and did not argue with her.
"As for whether that kid truly possesses the combat strength of the Death Mysterious Stage Level 1, we'll find out with a test. Where is Yun Hong?"
Pang Hao thought for a moment, then looked up at a shadowy spot beside him.
"Boss!"
The shadows shifted slightly, and a mysterious man, shrouded in a black robe, appeared out of nowhere.
Among the Four Demon Generals of the Nine Nether Gate, Pang Hao is the leader and has reached the peak of the Life Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion.
Yun Hong and the other two were at the peak of the Half-step Life Mysterious Stage, and their strength was quite formidable.
"Go, make arrangements to find someone to test Lin Dong's strength, but don't use anyone from my Nine Nether Gate," Pang Hao said calmly, without looking to the side.
"Yes, boss."
The young man, who was known as the second of the Four Demon Generals, understood the order and withdrew.
"Lin Dong's strength and identity are shrouded in mystery, so why should we provoke him? If he finds out, it will only cause more trouble."
The White-robed Beauty gently shook her head, clearly disagreeing with Pang Hao's actions.
"With our sect elders here, what is there to fear? As long as we don't give him a chance to launch a sneak attack, I want to see how he kills my Nine Nether Gate's Death Mysterious Stage old monster."
Pang Hao chuckled, quite skeptical of Lin Dong's combat strength.
