Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, the Vast Sea Saint King shook his head and chuckled helplessly.
"Don't joke around. I know your intention is enough. I've lived long enough. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I have no regrets even in death. Don't worry about me."
But after he finished speaking, Lin Xuan remained motionless, staring intently at the Vast Sea Saint King, his expression still serious.
It's true.
His voice was very soft, which drew a surprised look from the Vast Sea Saint King.
Some things, once said, can be considered a joke.
However, within the illusion, although the Nineteenth Imperial Prince had no memory of it, he was still watching the whole time.
Naturally, he knew that Lin Xuan was definitely not the kind of person who would repeat a joke over and over again.
Therefore, the Vast Sea Saint King couldn't help but glance at Lin Xuan a few more times.
He was taken aback when he saw Lin Xuan's serious expression.
After a long silence, the Vast Sea Saint King finally spoke slowly and in a deep voice, his emotions unclear. "You... are you serious?"
Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation.
"Of course, I wouldn't stoop to lying."
He still remembered the soul space his ancestor had pulled him into when he awakened the Lin Household bloodline.
Lin Xuan stayed in that space for a full year.
According to his ancestors, his soul was not just a single wisp; it was likely scattered throughout the Eastern Continent, where it was being nurtured using unknown Secret Technique.
In order to pass on his legacy, he sacrificed a remnant of his soul.
However, other remnant souls still exist, and it is likely that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, several remnant souls are being nurtured.
If he can find the remnant soul of his ancestor before the remnant soul of the Vast Sea Saint King perishes, and then inquire about the method of nourishing the divine soul, he might be able to find a way to nurture the remnant soul of the Vast Sea Saint King. He can also try to find a pill for physical reconstruction from an external auction or directly from the system.
Then, just like Yunli back then, she can be resurrected from the dead!
At that time, Lin Xuan will have one more Saint King to assist him!
Now, the Vast Sea Saint Dynasty has collapsed, and there is no more Vast Sea Saint Dynasty in the world. The Vast Sea Saint King is also homeless. If he were to find an organization, it would surely be the Sword Pavilion, which has done him a great favor.
There will be one more Saint King level expert to oversee the Sword Pavilion!
That's killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing the somewhat eager look in the eyes of the Vast Sea Saint King, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and said directly, "I wonder if the Saint King is aware of the Lin Saint Clan of the Profound Heaven Holy Land?"
The Lin Saint Clan?!
The Vast Sea Saint King looked at Lin Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He was a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, so he naturally knew about the once incredibly powerful Lin Saint Clan.
It is said that the founder of the Holy Clan possessed terrifying strength, and some even claim that Lin Ye, the founder of the Lin Household, was not from the Eastern Continent.
Profound Heaven Holy Land...
The Vast Sea Saint King paused for a moment, then asked, "You are a member of the Lin Clan clan?"
"Good."
Lin Xuan did not hide anything.
He knew very well that the Vast Sea Saint King could never be an enemy of the Lin Household. On the contrary, in the future, the Vast Sea Saint King would become an ally of the Lin Clan Lineage.
Therefore, Lin Xuan revealed everything.
"I am the young master of the Lin Saint Clan in this generation. My Lin Saint Clan possesses a method for repairing remnant souls. If the Saint King is willing, I can help you rise from the dead!"
The words "bringing the dead back to life" were so powerful that even the Vast Sea Saint King was stunned.
Does he want to die?
Of course not!
Back then, he burned everything he had to burn his own future, all for the sake of the future of many more Human Race cultivators.
But as long as there is even the slightest chance, Vast Sea Sheng Wang is unwilling to trade his future for it.
Even him.
Now that such an opportunity is right in front of him, how could he possibly miss it?
but...
"No one would refuse to bring the dead back to life," the Vast Sea Saint King said in a deep voice, "But there's no such thing as a free lunch. What are your conditions?"
As expected of the Vast Sea Saint King, he is indeed perceptive.
Lin Xuan inwardly praised him, then smiled and said, "The condition is simple: I hope that after the Saint King is resurrected, he will join the Sword Pavilion, the force I founded."
"I helped the Saint King rebuild his physical body and restore his strength. The Saint King will remain in my Sword Pavilion for three hundred years."
"How?"
Is that all?
The Vast Sea Saint King was taken aback.
He hadn't expected that the conditions Lin Xuan proposed would be so simple!
But... who doesn't like simplicity?
He did not violate morality, nor did he betray the righteousness in his heart.
He immediately burst into laughter and agreed without hesitation.
"No problem!"
"As long as you can preserve my soul, what does it matter if I follow you for 30,000 years, let alone 300 years?"
Lin Xuan curled the corners of his lips and said, "I've joined the Sword Pavilion; I'll be its leader."
"Besides, your talent surpasses mine, so following you would actually be an advantage for me, but now I..."
As he spoke, the Vast Sea Saint King showed a hesitant expression again.
Lin Xuan immediately understood what the Vast Sea Saint King was thinking.
He immediately waved his hand.
" The Saint King need not worry too much."
After saying that, Lin Xuan casually flipped his hand and took out a bronze mirror.
This bronze mirror was one of his previous spoils of war. Having been in the Eastern Continent for so long, he had killed several Saint Realm, and Lin Xuan naturally hadn't forgotten to take their Storage Bag.
Now he has a large and wealthy family, and his disciples are still missing. He desperately needs Cultivation Resources, and he also has a particularly voracious Xiaolu at home.
We can't tolerate even the slightest waste.
Lin Xuan didn't know the exact origin of this bronze mirror, but he could sense that it had a certain effect on nourishing the soul.
It's not very useful, but it's better than nothing.
The divine soul of the Vast Sea Saint King is attached to this, which will allow him to hold on for a while longer.
Once he finds the remnant soul of his ancestor, he will surely find a way!
"A good mirror!"
The Vast Sea Saint King had no doubts and, after Lin Xuan's explanation, went straight into the bronze mirror.
A flash of light appeared on the bronze mirror, then returned to normal.
Lin Xuan flipped his hand and put the mirror away, a hint of urgency appearing in his eyes.
The remnant soul of the ancestor...
We have to find a way and find it quickly.
Otherwise, his Saint King combat power would be completely annihilated!
Meanwhile, in a place within the Vast Sea Secret Realm.
The Duan Household, dressed in fine clothes with the small character "Duan" embroidered on the hem, gathered here to collect their hard-won spoils.
"Hurry up, everyone, speed up!"
A cold shout came from the side, the voice urging him on.
The speaker was a woman with a cold and stern face, never smiling. Upon hearing her rebuke, the Duan Household around her instinctively quickened their pace, all showing a degree of fear towards her.
The woman turned her gaze away and looked into the distance, where she saw a disheveled figure that had suddenly appeared—it was a member of her Duan Household.
This immediately made her frown.
The Duan Household came running from afar, panting and shouting.
"It's terrible, young mistress! It's terrible! The secret realm below has collapsed! Many of our clansmen have perished inside! Even... even..."
"Even Miss Su is seriously injured. Please, young mistress, bestow some medicine!"
As he finished speaking, a disheveled white figure staggered over from not far away.
That usually resolute and stubborn face was now pale and bloodless, and his beautiful eyes and brows revealed a hint of pain.
The white dress was now stained with blood and dust.
This woman was none other than Su Lianxin.
