The night was deep and quiet.
Lin Shuguang sat alone on the bed in his room. Only after his extended perception detected no one spying on him did he take out the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman Ancestor Chen had given him.
As its coolness touched his hand, his four Attribute Points began rising continuously again.
"Old Man Chen said it had something to do with blood essence. Could it be..."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Could this be the legendary... blood test to establish kinship?"
Establish kinship... It was fortunate Ancestor Chen was not there, or he would certainly have brought his sword crashing down.
Lin Shuguang forced out a drop of blood essence onto the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman. Surprisingly, it was not absorbed immediately, as though it strongly resisted accepting him as its master.
"The Heaven Sacrifice Talisman recognizes the Human Emperor. I suppose that isn't my destiny..."
Lin Shuguang knew his own limitations.
When he had first been reborn, he had not awakened as some world-shaking prodigy. Without the Pay-to-Win System, he probably could only have muddled through this lifetime as an ordinary person.
But...
"Now that you're in my hands, do you think you still have a chance to kick up a fuss?"
His Saber Technique intent, which had fused over a thousand martial arts, resembled an emperor who brooked no dissent, forcibly suppressing the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman.
Ever since Ancestor Chen of the Baojian Sect obtained the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman, he had been just as he told Lin Shuguang: he did not want to become entangled in karma with the Taiyi Immortal Sect because of it.
The karma involving the Thirteenth Generation Guardian Supreme was already immense. If the Taiyi Immortal Sect became involved as well, his Baojian Sect would probably be implicated.
But Lin Shuguang was different.
