That ancestor from tens of thousands of years ago... is he still alive?
The moment this thought crossed Lin Xuan's mind, he felt an indescribable shock.
If Zhiruo's ancestor is truly still alive, where would she be?
Given the opponent's strength...
I'm afraid he's unmatched in the entire Eastern Continent.
But then another problem arose.
If her ancestor Zhiruo were truly still alive, she would never have let the Lin Household's massacre go unpunished.
It's even more impossible to allow the Lin Household to be bullied to this extent.
There's no reason why Zhiruo's ancestor wouldn't know the Lin Clan family's bloodline Secret Method.
But if that's the case, why doesn't Zhiruo's ancestor come looking for her clansmen?
Are they trapped?
still...
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to relax and clear his mind of all sorts of thoughts.
Regardless, finding the existence of my ancestors is the most important thing for me.
Aside from that, it doesn't matter what the ancestors were held back by.
He calmed his mind and withdrew his Divine Sense, which had spread throughout the entire secret realm.
At the same time, I felt a mix of emotions.
This divine dynasty's secret realm is indeed vast, but fortunately, his Divine Sense has now grown to an incomparably powerful state. When his Divine Sense swept across it, Lin Xuan also discovered many fortuitous opportunity.
However, these fortuitous opportunity are either obscured by hidden beauty or fraught with danger.
It's definitely not something that can be acquired within three days.
Although this secret realm was formed because of his ancestors, Lin Xuan would never underestimate its dangers.
On the contrary.
He amplified the danger here several times over.
Lin Xuan himself is a sword cultivator.
Therefore, we should never underestimate any sword cultivator.
Especially those High Antiquity cultivators with formidable strength, like their own ancestors.
For thousands of years, several Great Saint of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty sacrificed themselves one after another, but they only managed to take away a few treasures.
Their only gain this time was probably the Spiritual Power here, and their understanding of Sword Intent.
Lin Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.
This wasn't entirely a wasted effort.
Even if it's only for three days.
However, the Spiritual Power and Sword Intent left behind by our ancestors are terrifying. Even just a glimpse of it would be an incredibly rare opportunity for a sword cultivator today.
Moreover, beneath this divine dynasty lies a dragon vein.
Even if the dragon vein has been severed.
However, the dragon vein represents the destiny of a single era.
Even a slight understanding can greatly benefit one's future spiritual practice.
As he pondered this, Lin Xuan slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself in enlightenment.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The secret realm tokens carried by the group all began to heat up simultaneously.
The temperature, like molten lava, instantly brought them to their senses.
Ji Yanbai and Wan Hao woke up shortly after Lin Xuan.
Both of them had varying degrees of joy in their eyes. They looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Beyond satisfaction, there was also immense shock, almost tangible.
They knew that their purpose in entering the Dark Orchid Secret Realm was to seek a breakthrough.
However, they never expected that what they gained here was more than what they had gained from a hundred years of arduous cultivation in the outside world!
That's absolutely terrifying!
Not to mention that the Spiritual Power here is hundreds or thousands of times denser than outside, the Sword Intent and imperial power contained in the dragon vein are something they absolutely could not draw upon in the outside world.
It's fair to say that the three days spent in this secret realm yielded an exceptionally rich harvest.
certainly...
Their understanding of Sword Intent was never deep; they only dabbled in it superficially.
The sharpness and fury contained within that Sword Intent, even as it was about to dissipate, would still pierce their Divine Sense.
This serves as a cautionary tale for countless people.
They wouldn't be that stupid.
In the past few days, Ji Yanbai and Wan Hao have mostly been absorbing the knowledge left behind by the powerful figures of the Divine Dynasty, as well as trying to absorb the dissipated dragon energy and purple qi in this secret realm.
After all, the divine dynasty had already perished.
The dragon's aura and the nation's destiny thus became ownerless.
Those powerful figures who once belonged to the Divine Dynasty were suppressed by One Sword strike, and the Dao intent that dissipated in their dying moments was also subdued by this Sword Intent.
They were rooted in the orchid, their bodies pierced by the Sword Intent, and their entire being almost turned into solidified stone figures. They were slowly embroidered and eroded by the entire space. Everything was fixed in place by the Sword Intent, unable to move an inch.
Especially the dragon veins of the Divine Dynasty.
About three days.
Ji Yanbai and Wan Hao were like rats that had fallen into an oil vat, desperately trying to absorb the nutrients that this place could provide for them.
Their overall understanding has reached a new level.
It's unknown how much Spiritual Power it absorbed.
Even in such a short time, the two of them were almost on the verge of a breakthrough!
This clearly demonstrates just how terrifying this secret realm is!
but...
Overjoyed, the two looked at Lin Xuan beside them, and their happiness was immediately dampened.
What was it like three days ago?
And now, this person is still the same as before.
Not only did his complexion remain unchanged, but his aura also showed no fluctuation whatsoever.
It was as if he had turned into a stubborn rock that could not be warmed at all.
It makes one wonder whether he was cultivating for the past three days or simply fell asleep in this secluded orchid garden.
While puzzled, Ji Yanbai and his companion were also filled with disbelief.
How could that be!?
How could Lin Xuan not have made any progress at all?!
They were all Half-Saint, but they were already close to breaking through to the Saint Realm.
But Lin Xuan, a Great Emperor Realm, showed absolutely no fluctuations?
Not even a minor realm has been improved...
The question of whether Lin Xuan was cultivating or simply sleeping only flashed through their minds and were quickly forgotten.
They knew it very well.
Unless someone is an idiot, I believe no one would sleep here.
So.
There's only one possibility left.
That is...
The other party has indeed been cultivating over the past few days.
However, the other party's cultivation was almost the same as not cultivating at all.
In other words...
He did a useless job!!
The moment she understood, Ji Yanbai's gaze towards Lin Xuan changed completely.
He almost blurted it out.
This person, this person... is this person really that untalented!?
Why did the princess give him this spot? Was it absolutely necessary to give it to him? Even giving it to Dugu Yun would have been a million times better than giving it to someone with such talent!
What a waste!
What a waste!!
Thinking this, the two looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
Wan Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressing the disbelief in his heart, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you haven't gained any insights here at all, have you?"
