Bait Cast, Big Fish Bites

"Elders, Sect Master, thank you for your kindness, but I have another inheritance outside, so I cannot join the Shaking Light Sacred Land." Lin Yu shook his head, refusing their good intentions, and said,

"I only came back this time to visit old friends and incidentally give you a batch of resources, hoping to improve your cultivation."

"Since that's the case, we won't interfere. You are about to break through the Dao Palace Secret Realm, which is the same level as us. Regarding cultivation, you should have a plan," the old man didn't try to persuade him further and said,

"As for the resources, you should keep them for yourself. We are old, and more resources would be a burden we cannot enjoy."

Lin Yu didn't let them refuse. He directly summoned the Hell Furnace to cleanse their meridians and marrow, changing their aptitude, and then used Life Source to anoint them, replenishing their vitality.

A day later, the two old men's originally snow-white hair turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, each strand dark, shiny, and lustrous. The wrinkles on their faces quickly faded, and their skin became smooth and firm, as if reborn. Their bodies were full of vitality, sweeping away the old age and regaining youthful vigor.

In the future, they might break through a few realms, and extending their lifespan by several hundred years wouldn't be a problem.

"This... this is simply unbelievable. Did you use a Sacred Medicine from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to baptize us? This is too precious." The two looked astonished, feeling that Lin Yu had gone to too much trouble.

"No, this was a fortunate encounter I had, a gift from a predecessor, and some of my own precious blood. You can rest assured. When we first arrived in the Yan Kingdom, we owed you both a great debt of gratitude for your care."

Next, Lin Yu asked them about Ye Fan and Pang Bo and learned that they had both left the Spirit Void Cave Heaven. He then baptized the young friends from Earth in the cave heaven, improving their aptitude, before bidding farewell to the two elders.

The two old men tried to persuade him to stay for a while, but seeing Lin Yu's firm attitude, they could only watch him leave.

Lin Yu quietly left the Spirit Void Cave Heaven, then revealed his whereabouts in the Primeval Ruins. He went to a nearby mountain forest, opened a cave dwelling, and began to wait.

The Shaking Light Sacred Land cultivators who came to the Yan Kingdom this time were not good people. They and the Jiang Family, in order to pick Sacred Medicines from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, rounded up everyone from Earth and also deceived many rogue cultivators, sending them into the forbidden land. It was conceivable that they would definitely target Lin Yu.

So, as long as Lin Yu revealed his whereabouts, he wasn't worried about them not coming to him.

He had previously refused the Spirit Void Cave Heaven's kind offer to recommend him to the Shaking Light Sacred Land, also for their sake. After all, what he was about to do was quite significant and might cause a huge uproar, so he certainly couldn't implicate them.

Half a month passed in a flash.

On this day, Lin Yu suddenly sensed dozens of unfamiliar auras approaching.

He walked out of his cave dwelling and saw dozens of knights wearing divine iron armor and iron masks, with only their eyes visible, riding fierce beasts. Divine light flickered, their scales were sharp and menacing, and they galloped through the air, three feet above the ground.

There was also an ancient bronze war chariot at the rear, stained with black blood and covered in sword and saber marks.

A large "Shaking Light" banner fluttered, surrounding Lin Yu.

"You are Lin Yu, I heard you once picked Sacred Medicine from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?" an imperious voice asked,

"Come with us. Our Shaking Light Sacred Land's Grand Elder needs you to lead the way to enter that place again and pick the Sacred Medicine. The Sacred Land will not treat you unfairly when you come out."

"No, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is full of dangers. I barely escaped with my life from that place, and I will never go back!" Lin Yu showed a look of "fear" and shouted loudly.

"That's not up to you!" The voice from the ancient bronze war chariot came,

"Capture him and cripple his limbs."

Dozens of knights surrounded him, forming a battle formation. Their auras combined, and killing intent surged, pressing heavily towards Lin Yu.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Lin Yu, appearing "helpless," roared. Divine energy surged, and a dark golden battle armor condensed on his body, flowing with lava and lightning, enveloping him completely. Long dragon horns grew on his head, and sharp bone spurs protruded from his back, making him look noble and magnificent.

He charged into the knights, his fists whistling, like rolling thunder. Like a golden lightning bolt, he routed them, causing them to cough up large mouthfuls of blood.

Lin Yu also conjured a bronze lamp, which he had previously confiscated from an enemy. The bronze lamp flickered, and the firelight reached the heavens. The wick actually took on a human form, a disheveled figure swaying, scattering monstrous flames. These knights were about to be consumed by the sea of fire.

"Kid, stop!"

The person on the ancient bronze war chariot saw that the situation was bad and decided to take action personally.

He held a great halberd, each halberd pattern flowing with mysterious runes, the light dazzling. With a fierce roar, the great halberd, wrapped in destructive power, went straight for Lin Yu, causing the world to lose its color.

Lin Yu, "fearless," used a profound technique. The raging flames of the ancient bronze lamp protected his body, and he "fought" with the person. Fists collided with the great halberd, divine patterns shone, and precious light roared. For a time, the situation was very tense.

"Ah, your Shaking Light Sacred Land is going too far!"

Lin Yu roared and spat a large mouthful of blood towards the bronze lamp. The blood was dark gold, sparkling with starlight, like flowing mercury.

"Candlelight Illuminating the Divine Cosmos!" With the blessing of the precious blood, the bronze lamp's power greatly increased, turning into a huge fire dragon. The flames were monstrous, burning the person's battle halberd red hot.

Then Lin Yu took out a purple-gold gourd. The mouth of the gourd suddenly opened, emitting wisps of purple mist, which then formed a huge vortex, like a whale swallowing or a cow drinking, trying to suck them all in.

"Not good!" Seeing this, the halberd user's soul almost left his body. He quickly threw away the hot battle halberd and desperately fled in the ancient bronze chariot, abandoning even his subordinates.

Outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, on a mountain peak, the original summit had been leveled, and a palace was built as the lodging place for the Shaking Light Sacred Land's Grand Elder.

Next to it was parked a "Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun Chariot," pulled by nine strange birds resembling phoenixes.

The Shaking Light Sacred Land's Grand Elder was furious after hearing the halberd user's report, saying, "Previously, I saw that he was a disciple of the Spirit Void Cave Heaven with good aptitude, and I heard he had even consumed a Sacred Fruit.

I was preparing to bring him back to the Sacred Land to cultivate him, but I didn't expect him to be so unappreciative. I will personally capture him!"

"Wait!"

A young man walked in, tall and handsome, extraordinarily elegant. His steps were light, bringing with them streaks of immortal energy. It was the Shaking Light Holy Son.

He cultivated the Immortal Heavenly Art, a technique created by Empress Ruthless in her Second Life, and also possessed the Shaking Light Sacred Land's Primal Chaos Divine Light Technique. He was simply like a Divine Spirit descending to the mortal world.

"Why has the Holy Son come here?" The Grand Elder asked casually. This matter was actually a minor one; if he hadn't been here, he wouldn't have bothered with it.

"I happened to hear your conversation nearby." The Shaking Light Holy Son replied. He looked at the halberd user and said, "You just said that when you fought with Lin Yu, he spat out dark golden blood?"

"Yes, that Lin Yu indeed used his precious blood to activate the bronze lamp, and its power greatly increased. I was caught off guard and defeated by him," the halberd user replied.

"Why don't you let me handle this matter?" The Shaking Light Holy Son suddenly suggested.

"Why should the Holy Son personally handle such a small matter?" The Elder was a bit puzzled.

"I think Lin Yu's combat power should be good. His blood is dark gold, and I am a bit curious about his physique." The Shaking Light Holy Son stated that he just wanted to capture Lin Yu and "study" him. He wanted to see what Lin Yu's origin was like and incidentally taste his strength.
