After returning to the camp, Lin Xuan began cultivating again, having gained new insights from that one sword strike.
It truly echoed the ancient saying, 'What you get from paper remains superficial in the end; to know the matter thoroughly, you must put it into practice yourself.'
Sitting alone in the clan, no matter how much one comprehends, it's nothing more than a castle in the air. Without the swordplay masters provided by the system for reference and verification, it would be difficult to make any progress.
Recently, merely sensing the Qi of Death from Death Profound Realm experts a few times had allowed him to gain such insights. After executing the sword strike, he had even more understanding. In the end, cultivation cannot be done in isolation.
As for the Myriad Gold Commerce, Lin Xuan had completely forgotten about them on the way back. The grudges were settled, and there was no further connection. He didn't even bother to find out how Lin Dong had handled it.
The next morning, as soon as the sky began to brighten and a thin mist still enveloped the mountains, Lin Dong, who had been cultivating all night, came out early.
Coincidentally, just as Lin Dong emerged, he met Lin Xuan, who was also walking out of his tent. He was still wearing a simple coarse white robe, with a very plain cloth belt around his waist, the same attire as yesterday, making one wonder if he only had this one set of clothes.
However, upon seeing Lin Xuan, Lin Dong couldn't help but be taken aback, because the Lin Xuan of today didn't seem like the same person he had seen and felt last night.
Last night, Lin Xuan had an indifferent aura, and his entire being was like a deep, dark abyss, capable of silently swallowing all life, causing one to feel a sense of awe involuntarily.
But at this moment, Lin Xuan gave off a feeling of warmth, like newly sprouted green buds in spring, or the silent night rain that nourishes everything in early summer, exuding a vibrant aura.
"Hiss, this monster... if he were placed in our demon beast clan, wouldn't another Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor appear? No, perhaps he would even surpass the only emperor of our demon beast clan!"
Little Marten also emerged silently. After saying this, he met Lin Xuan's gaze and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Then, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It must be said that Lin Xuan's pressure on Little Marten was also immense, but there was no way around it. Since Lin Xuan had found his hiding place, there was nowhere to hide, so he had to be careful.
Lin Xuan turned his head and deeply gazed at Lin Dong, his invisible gaze seeming to directly penetrate Lin Dong's body and land on Little Marten hiding within.
After nodding slightly to Lin Dong and Little Marten, Lin Xuan whispered in his heart.
"Six-Fingered Holy Dragon Emperor? That supreme expert of the Dragon Clan?"
That was a strong person worthy of respect, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity to fight him.
The sword has always been used to challenge the strong, and the stronger the person, the more excited the sword in his hand will become!
Of course, the current Lin Xuan did not yet have the strength to challenge such a top expert who stood near the pinnacle of the Tianxuan Continent, but he believed that it would not be long before he had that strength.
And right now, there was a good opponent waiting for him.
Thinking of this, a look of anticipation appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the distant mountains.
That Ancient Tomb Mansion, capable of leaving behind a Nascent Soul, must have belonged to an expert above the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm, or even a Nirvana Realm peak expert at the Half-Step Life Profound Realm.
Although one could begin to condense a Nascent Soul after the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm, most Nirvana Realm experts could only condense a complete Nascent Soul at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.
Being able to condense a Nascent Soul in the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm was already considered a top genius, and even in the Eastern Xuan Region's eight super sects, their aptitude would be among the best.
Don't think it's easy to condense a Nascent Soul in the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm just because Lin Dong did it in the original story. Not to mention that Lin Dong had Little Marten guiding him along the way, the Ancestral Stone and other divine objects to help him, and the Devouring Ancestor Symbol in his body, even so, he still relied on the Nirvana Golden Qi that had been accumulated for a long time in the Nirvana Pill River to condense a Nascent Soul in the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm.
It can be seen that the condensation of the Nascent Soul, unless it is like Lin Dong, a peerless genius with top-notch talent, opportunity, and so on, it is impossible to condense a Nascent Soul in the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm.
A remnant Nascent Soul left behind by a Nirvana Realm peak expert definitely had enough understanding of the Qi of Life, and Lin Xuan had just comprehended a trace of the Qi of Life from that sword's ultimate Death and Destruction last night.
Not only was the realm just right, but even the strength was also very suitable.
The strength of the remnant Nascent Soul left behind by that Nirvana Realm peak expert was at most at the early stage of the Nirvana Realm, and with Lin Xuan's strength, it was not impossible to defeat a Nirvana Realm expert who had not passed the Nirvana Tribulation.
Therefore, facing the methods left behind by the master of that Ancient Tomb Mansion, Lin Xuan could just take the opportunity to learn from them.
Moreover, besides that master of the Ancient Tomb Mansion, they would also be able to witness the unparalleled genius from one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region—the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace!
Just thinking about it filled Lin Xuan's heart with anticipation. He lowered his head to glance at the Nameless Divine Sword in his hand, and a faint, gentle aura slowly emanated from him. It lacked the sharp, overbearing momentum of the past, replaced by a feeling akin to a spring breeze.
Just then, Wu Tao quickly walked over. He first smiled and nodded at Lin Dong, then raised his hand in a salute to Lin Xuan, and said softly.
"Young Clan Leader, everything is ready."
"Mm, if that's the case, then let's set off!"
Lin Xuan retracted his gaze from the depths of the mist and nodded gently, saying.
"Yes!"
Under Lin Xuan's lead, the Lin Clan's team moved again, but today's journey was even more cautious than yesterday.
After all, yesterday they were only in the outer periphery of the Sky Flame Mountain Range, but now they were approaching the inner region. The strength of the demonic beasts here was much greater, so they naturally had to be more careful.
Along the way, Little Flame was mobilized again, scouting on the flanks. Moreover, there was a powerhouse at the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm acting as a scout in front.
But even with such caution, they still encountered several waves of demonic beasts along the way. Mainly, sometimes there was no way to avoid them; the area ahead was the territory of the demonic beasts, so they had no choice but to choose a path and fight their way through.
Not long after noon, the Lin Clan's group finally passed through the forest that seemed like a natural barrier and arrived at the foot of a huge mountain.
