Sacred Radiance Sun Lotus

He recalled the ruthlessness and decisiveness Lin Jin had displayed when coercing him into cooperation, then the unfathomable knowledge and guts he now revealed.

A clear realization surfaced in his heart: the Young Man before him was no ordinary man.

His ambitions were by no means limited to some official post in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Of course, Lin Jin had no time to concern himself with Yang Wudi's thoughts.

He was currently submerged in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where destruction and rebirth played out within his body at the same time.

The energies of ice and fire not only ravaged his body, but also battered his Sea of Consciousness.

Fragments of memories from his previous life, scenes of slaughter on the battlefield in this life, the smile of his Younger Sister Lin Xue, and the final looks in his Parents' eyes all flashed through his mind.

"No! I can't fall!"

"Having been reborn, how could I end here?!"

"I still have to reach the summit, protect my dearest family, and... contend with the heavens!"

An unyielding will burned fiercely in the depths of his soul like an undying flame!

The Nameless Cultivation Method instinctively began circulating madly, guiding the violent ice and fire energy within him along some profound path as it forcefully scoured and widened his already resilient Meridians.

It tempered every inch of bone, every drop of blood, every cell.

No one knew how long the process lasted. It seemed like an instant, yet also like ten thousand years.

At last, the frost covering Lin Jin's body began to melt, and the scarlet color of his skin gradually returned to normal.

The rampaging ice and fire energy was no longer wreaking chaotic destruction. Instead, it transformed into a nourishing spring, gently yet majestically flowing into his limbs and bones.

His foundation, already exceptionally solid after being honed through slaughter on the battlefield, was now tempered into something like Glazed Jade—indestructible and flawlessly clear.

The countless wounds on his chest and back left by the battlefield healed as though he had been reborn, every scar vanishing completely.

His Soul Power Level began rising at a terrifying speed!

Level Fifty-Three, Level Fifty-Four, Level Fifty-Five...

In the end, it stabilized at the peak of Level Fifty-Eight, just one step away from Level Fifty-Nine.

Not only that, but he could clearly sense that his Immortal Demon Armor Martial Soul had also undergone some subtle change. Its phantom had become more solid.

Both its defense and strength had undergone a qualitative leap, while the Aura it emitted carried traces of ice and fire.

Lin Jin suddenly opened his eyes. A glint of Ice Blue cold light flashed through his left eye, while a streak of Scarlet Firelight passed through his right, before both settled into profound calm.

He slowly rose from the spring, his body perfectly sculpted and flowing with explosive power.

The Ice Fire Golden Body was complete!

Feeling the surging new power within him, a satisfied curve lifted the corner of his lips.

He had won this gamble!

Not only had he resolved the Hidden Danger of the Demon Armor's Demonic Nature, but he had also laid an unparalleled foundation for the Path to Godhood.

"Congratulations, General Lin, on successfully completing Ice-Fire Tempering." Yang Wudi had already arrived at the shore the instant Lin Jin opened his eyes.

After Lin Jin came ashore, Yang Wudi handed him a robe.

"How are they?" Lin Jin took the robe and asked with a faint smile.

"Their conditions have stabilized. It has been two hours since you ate the Immortal Herbs. Dawn will arrive in another hour." Yang Wudi followed Lin Jin's gaze as he spoke.

"And you? After two hours, have you found any Immortal Herbs useful to yourself?" Lin Jin asked, sweeping his gaze over the surrounding herbs.

"I did find two Immortal Herbs that are useful to me. One is the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. Its sharp and piercing properties are perfectly suited to my Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul." Yang Wudi grinned and took out a section of bamboo resembling black jade.

"Not bad. What about the other one?" Lin Jin asked curiously.

"The other is the Hundred Poisons Nemesis, Aromatic Silk Beauty." At the mention of this Immortal Herb, Yang Wudi immediately revealed an incomparably excited expression.

Understanding flashed through Lin Jin's eyes.

In the original story, Yang Wudi had been as delighted as an innocent child when he obtained Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"This Aromatic Silk Beauty truly is the most suitable Immortal Herb for Clan Head Yang. With it by your side, Clan Head Yang will no longer have any worries when refining medicine or testing poisons. Your alchemy skills will surely rise to a new level."

Yang Wudi nodded excitedly, cradling a Jade Box as though he could not bear to put it down.

Inside was an Immortal Herb that emitted a faint pink glow. It resembled a peony, yet was more elegant and sacred. A rich, peculiar fragrance spread through the air, refreshing the mind and spirit. It was none other than Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"With this Immortal Herb, many lost medicinal pills of my Breaking Clan may be refined once more!" Yang Wudi could barely contain his excitement, but he soon looked at Lin Jin and solemnly clasped his fists.

"General Lin, thank you for giving me this opportunity, for bringing me to this Precious Land, and for allowing me to pick Immortal Herbs. Yang Mou and the Breaking Clan will never forget this favor for all eternity! Should the General ever require anything, everyone in the Breaking Clan will give their utmost support!"

Lin Jin reached out to steady Yang Wudi and said sincerely, "Clan Head Yang, you overstate it. We are allies, so naturally we should benefit one another. I am also deeply pleased to be of help to you and the Breaking Clan."

"Besides, I may have use for some of the medicine you refine in the future. Helping you is helping myself."

"I will. I certainly will!" Yang Wudi said solemnly.

"By the way, Clan Head Yang, while searching for those two Immortal Herbs, did you see any immortal-grade herb suitable for a Light Attribute Soul Master?" Lin Jin asked calmly.

"Is the General seeking one for your Younger Sister?" Yang Wudi asked with a slow smile.

"That's right. My Younger Sister Xiao Xue has a Mutated Martial Soul with certain side effects. Whenever she releases a soul skill, it drains her life force." Since it concerned his Younger Sister's Martial Soul, Lin Jin knew he could not be careless and immediately told Yang Wudi the truth.

"Drains life force?!" Yang Wudi frowned deeply. "That is an extremely serious Martial Soul defect. If left unchecked, it could shorten her Lifespan at best. At worst... the higher her Soul Power, the stronger the backlash. Her life may be in danger!"

"Exactly." Lin Jin's gaze remained calm, though a trace of barely perceptible worry lay hidden in its depths. "That is why I urgently need an immortal-grade herb capable of replenishing her life essence, perhaps even granting her powerful vitality, to solve this problem at its root."

"Light Attribute, depleted vitality..." Yang Wudi muttered to himself.

"General, look at that one!" Yang Wudi pointed toward the Fire Eye area. "Its entire body looks carved from golden jade, Sacred Light contained within it, while an Eternal Sacred Flame seems to burn in its lotus heart... If I am not mistaken, that is the legendary Sacred Radiance Sun Lotus!"

Following his direction, Lin Jin indeed saw a peculiar Fire Lotus.

"The Sacred Radiance Sun Lotus," Yang Wudi explained rapidly, "contains incomparably pure light and sacred essence, as well as vast vitality!"

"Not only can it purify a Martial Soul and improve the quality of its light attribute, but its most vital effect is nourishing and strengthening one's life essence."

"If your Younger Sister consumes this Immortal Herb, it will not only completely replenish the vitality drained by her Martial Soul Side Effects, but also make her life force incredibly vigorous, far beyond that of ordinary people!"

"At that time, her Martial Soul's side effects will cease to exist. Instead, this opportunity may even allow her Martial Soul to evolve in a more powerful direction!"

"Sacred Radiance Sun Lotus!" Lin Jin murmured.
