Chapter 1829: Chapter 1826: The Second Flying Sword! Incorruptible Flying Sword!
Half a month later, the Patriarch and Grand Elder of the Gu Family were anxiously waiting outside the Dragon Vein of Earth Fire.
At this time, Gu Yuan strode over, saying, "Patriarch, esteemed Elders, how is the situation? Has Junior Brother Lin Bai not come out yet?"
The Patriarch of the Gu Family said grimly, "Indeed, Gu Yuan, you’re here just in time. Why don’t you go and check on Lin Bai, see if he’s alright. If he perished in the artifact refining stone chamber of our Gu Family, how could our Gu Family withstand the wrath of the Xuantian Sect?"
A Gu Family Elder also said, "Yes, he has been inside for fifteen days, and the stone chamber he is in is the strongest in the Dragon Vein of Earth Fire here. An ordinary warrior at the Yangshen Realm would be burned to ash within five days..."
Another Elder expressed his concern, "Now that fifteen days have passed, as he is crafting treasures, we dare not investigate his situation lightly..."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, understanding the worries of the Patriarch and Elders of the Gu Family, and said, "Patriarch, esteemed Elders, you need not worry, I will go and check now."
"Just as well, I’m here to notify him that it’s time to depart for the East Continent Academy."
Gu Yuan stepped towards the Dragon Vein of Earth Fire, arriving outside Lin Bai’s stone chamber.
"Junior Brother Lin Bai, time is up. We should set off for the East Continent Academy. Haven’t you finished refining the spiritual tools yet?" Gu Yuan called out softly outside the stone chamber.
But after Gu Yuan spoke, there was no response from inside for a long time.
After waiting a while, Gu Yuan frowned and called again, "Junior Brother Lin Bai? Are you still engaged in artifact refining?"
Gu Yuan asked another time, but besides the roaring flames of the Dragon Vein of Earth Fire, no other sound came from the stone chamber.
Gu Yuan’s mind suddenly tightened. Could Lin Bai have met with some mishap in this stone chamber?
"Junior Brother Lin Bai, are you alright? I’m coming in now,"
Gu Yuan thought no more, for as the Patriarch and Elders of the Gu Family mentioned, if Lin Bai died there, how could the Gu Family possibly bear the wrath of a Death Reversal strong one!
As he spoke, Gu Yuan was about to push the door open and enter.
But at this moment, the tightly closed door of the stone chamber was flung open by someone... no, more accurately, a charred figure emerged!
The shadow of a person emerged from the stone chamber, his clothes burned away by the flames, and his skin covered in burns, with a dense layer of black substance over his body, leaving only the pupils visible on his face...
"Junior Brother Lin Bai, are you alright?" Gu Yuan asked in shock seeing Lin Bai in such a state.
Lin Bai brushed off his body and immediately laughed, "No worries, let Senior Brother Gu Yuan rest at ease."
Speaking, Lin Bai activated his spiritual power to sweep away the black substance on his body, then fetched a brand new robe from his storage bag and donned it.
Seeing Lin Bai unharmed, Gu Yuan finally sighed in relief, saying, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, I came today to inform you that we will depart for the East Continent Academy tomorrow."
Lin Bai smiled, "Departing tomorrow?"
Gu Yuan laughed lightly, "Yes, going from the Xuantian Domain to the East Continent Academy will take about three months, so by the time we get there, it will be just in time for the academy’s assessment."
Lin Bai nodded slightly, "That suits me well."
Then, Lin Bai and Gu Yuan left the Gu Family together, before leaving, Lin Bai specially went to thank the Patriarch and Elders of the Gu Family. Seeing Lin Bai behaving so politely, the Elders and Patriarch of the Gu Family were all smiles.
Returning to the Xuantian Sect, Lin Bai bid farewell to Gu Yuan and returned to his dwelling.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Bai took a silver-glowing treasure sword from his storage bag, held it in his hand, and let a smile take the edge of his mouth. With a thought, the treasure sword quivered, flying out from his palm and hovering around Lin Bai.
"Finally crafted the second flying sword before leaving the Xuantian Domain."
"Since this flying sword was forged with Incorruptible Divine Iron, let it be called the Incorruptible Flying Sword!"
Lin Bai grasped the Incorruptible Flying Sword tightly, beginning to split his divine soul to merge and unify with the flying sword, this was the final step. Once the merge was complete, Lin Bai would have full control over the Incorruptible Flying Sword!
Half a day later, the Incorruptible Flying Sword was stored into Lin Bai’s Dantian, appearing beside the Dragon’s Eye Flying Sword.
With a thought, Lin Bai made both flying swords tremor, traveling through his body, in perfect harmony, controlling them like they were his arms!
"Now that the flying sword is crafted, the next step is to continue mastering the Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array!"
"Once the sword array is mastered, I will be able to break open the Life and Death Cursed Talisman!"
Lin Bai took a deep breath, a hint of somberness in his eyes.
Lin Bai entered the Sword Array Tower again, training in the Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array throughout the night.
The next morning, Lin Bai emerged from his dwelling, heading to the central square of the Xuantian Sect.
At this moment, there were not many people in the central square of the Xuantian Sect, only numerous elders and other disciples solemnly waiting there. Lin Bai spotted Gu Yuan among the crowd.
The Sect Leader Supreme looked at Lin Bai walking over, smiling, "Lin Bai, you’ve finally arrived."
Lin Bai clasped his fists and smiled, "I trained late last night, forgive me for keeping everyone waiting."
"No problem, no problem," the Sect Leader Supreme smiled gently, "Now that Lin Bai has arrived, our Xuantian Sect’s ten recommended disciples going to the East Continent Academy to study are all present."
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately looked curiously, recalling that in the Battlefield Secret Realm, he had mostly killed off the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, and then fled the Xuantian Sect, not knowing who exactly were the ten disciples heading to the East Continent Academy.
The Sect Leader Supreme said indifferently, "This time, the ten recommended disciples from our Xuantian Sect are Lin Bai, Gu Yuan, Lei Chong, Chai Ming..."
"As well as Wu Hong, Shi Ke, Jin Tianyou, Lin Xiaoqing, Yuan Yu..."
"And... Ding Huo!"
As the Sect Leader Supreme revealed these ten people, Lin Bai looked over one by one. Besides Gu Yuan, Lei Chong, Chai Ming being among the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, the others were completely unfamiliar to Lin Bai.
As for "Ding Huo," hearing his name, Lin Bai curiously glanced at the person.
Ding Huo, dressed in blue, possessing cultivation at Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm, a bit inferior in power compared to Ding Xianlai, with a delicate face and a slightly sinister smile at the corners of his mouth.
When Lin Bai looked at Ding Huo, Ding Huo returned the gaze, his mouth carrying a trace of a cruel smile.
Ding Huo came over to Lin Bai, whispering low, "The Ancestor tasks me to watch over you, let me remind you, I have mastered the spell for the Life and Death Cursed Talisman, if you disobey, I will unleash the Life Seal, leaving your corpse incomplete!"
Upon hearing Ding Huo’s words, Lin Bai’s eyes brimmed with a hint of killing intent as he glanced at Ding Huo but did not bother further!
