Chapter 339: Taoist Scriptures of Illusion

Translator: Flying Lines

After a long time, Lin Xun woke up from meditation.

Exhaling ~

He took a breath. And his breath turned into a spirit light, like a sharp blade splitting the void!

At last, it slammed into the wall 30 meters away, making a loud bang.

His internal strength had become powerful enough to turn his breath into a sharp blade!

This was a sign indicating that a practitioner stepped into Heaven-gang Realm.

Lin Xun was shocked. He couldn’t even believe it. He just practiced with a thread of roots of Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng, and his cultivation suddenly soared. He had reached the perfect situation of Earth-gang Realm and could break through to Heaven-gang Realm at any time!

Lin Xun still couldn’t believe this truth and checked his body again.

Gang Spirit in his body was surging like a vast ocean. Gang Qi was pure, thick and completely majestic.

The original supernatural sky-blue luster had become introverted and pure as sapphire!

Earth-gang Realm was the process of Grounding in one’s practice. Practitioner perceived the potential of the earth and gathered the spirit of earth. They connected their inner spirit with the earth, which solidified their foundation as duckweed rooted in the ground.

All the changes in his body illustrated that he had reached the perfect state of Earth-gang Realm!

It was true…

Lin Xun was in a trance. He was shocked by the huge medicinal power contained in Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng. A wisp of roots could have such terrible power. What if he swallowed it all…

Lin Xun immediately shook his head. The power of the roots almost overwhelmed his body.

If he swallowed the whole Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng, his body would explode in the end!

“My foundation is not shaken or influenced by the Ginseng although I made much rapid progress at a sitting. My strength has obviously been improved a bit than before…”

Lin Xun carefully felt the change of his strength. He could not help smiling with satisfaction. As early as he broke through to Earth-gang Realm, he had killed and routed those Heaven-gang Realm practitioners of Chi Family.

And now, he wondered how much transformation his fighting power would be as he had mastered his cultivation in Earth-gang Realm?

Inexplicably, Lin Xun thought of Shie Yutang, Young Sword King, and the scene that Shie Yutang put his sword at his throat.

He also recalled Chi Cangfeng, who had spiritual blood of Purple Sea Gold Lotus in Chi Family, came out of the sky and was about to chop him down.

Suddenly, Lin Xun’s joy disappeared.

His strength was far beyond powerful!

Perhaps he couldn’t find any opponent in the Spirit Gang realm, but his strength was still weak when facing strongmen of Sea Spirit Realm!

For a moment, Lin Xun’s heart was filled with unyielding spirit. As bark is vital to a tree, so is dignity to a person. It is the same in the road of practicing.

He should fight with heaven, fight with earth, fight with man and fight with himself!

If one didn’t fight, he would lose the courage to move forward, and it was doomed for him to achieve little.

“One day, you should all be conquered by me!”

Lin Xun took a deep breath. His deep and clear dark eyes were full of firmness.

This was the change of mind in practice. An idea, a decision, a memory or a trial would have an impact on practitioner’s mind.

Such transformation of his state of mind was undoubtedly wonderful.

Uhuh?

Lin Xun glanced at the roof where he was sitting at. A round and mysterious black light appeared.

It was just like a floating painting, in which there were dense and obscure strange patterns, mysterious and fantastic.

Lin Xun was immediately attracted.

He was sure that when he entered the chamber, the picturesque light did not exist at all.

That was to say, this strange scene appeared quietly when he was devoting himself to practicing!

Lin Xun got up from the futon, frowned and thought. This was the forbidden area that only the patriarch of Lin Family could enter. It seemed strange that there was only one futon in this mysterious place.

After all, as a top-ranking aristocratic family, how could it be impossible to build a practicing place like fairyland?

There was no doubt that there must be a mystery as the round black spiritual light appeared on the roof at this moment!

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xun made a decision. He jumped in a flash and reached for the round black light.

But before Lin Xun could get close to it, the black light seemed to be scared and disappeared immediately.

Uhuh?

Lin Xun keenly noticed that a small object fell from the sky when the black light disappeared.

Almost subconsciously, Lin Xun caught it and landed on the ground at the same time. Sadly, he couldn’t transfer among spaces but could only move in the air before he broke through to Sea Spirit Realm.

A black ring appeared in his palm.

It was extremely common and looked like a circle of black iron.Also, it felt light in hand.

The most disappointing thing for Lin Xun was that the ring was not a treasure at all.

Lin Xun raised his head and looked at the roof again. Now it was empty. The round black light vanished without any trace.

“It’s so strange…”

Lin Xun played with the ring and walked out of the chamber.

As soon as he passed the bronze door, he saw Lin Zhong waiting for him. Lin Xun wondered, “Granddad Zhong, what can I do for you?”

However, when Lin Zhong saw the black ring in Lin Xun’s hand, he forgot his original intention. His eyes were dilated, and there was an unconcealed excitement in his expression.

“Ring of our ancestors!” He said in a trembling voice! “It… It was not robbed, but it was hidden here by the patriarch! ”

His voice was full of joy, and he almost cried.

Obviously, the ancestors’ ring had a very special meaning for Lin Zhong, which made him unable to control his emotions at the first sight.

When Lin Xun saw this, he had some thoughts. Although the ring was common and spiritless, it should be the object passed down by the ancestors of Lin Family. It must have a secret that no one else could know.

Until Lin Zhong’s mood was restored, Lin Xun required, “Tell me about this ring, Granddad Zhong.”

“Young master, this ring named Illusion. It passed down by our ancestors. Only the inheritors of the lineage of Lin Family have the qualification to control it.”

“Other people, even other branches of Lin Family, will never be able to own it. Because this ring is very special, only the blood of the lineal successor of Lin Family can awaken it and conquer it! ”

As he recollected, Lin Zhong narrated the origin of Ring of Illusion.

“I have been guarding Heart-cleansing Peak for many years, but what I really mind is the third floor’s forbidden area of Heart-cleansing Hall. I knew that even if my old master died, this ring would never be lost. ”

Ring of Illusion!

It was handed down by the ancestors of Lin Family!

Only the heirs of lineage blood had the right to control it!

Knowing all this, Lin Xun was shocked. He had guessed that this thing should be extraordinary, but he didn’t expect that it was about Lin’s ancestors.

“Master, since you get it, you have already been recognized by our ancestors! In the future, no one could doubt about your identity! ”

Lin Zhong looked at Lin Xun excitedly.

“It turned out to be a recognition of my identity.”

Lin Xun’s excitement subsided a lot when he thought about this. The four collateral clans would not bow their heads and obey him only because of this. It would make no difference after all.

“Young master, you’re wrong.”

Lin Zhong said, “Strictly speaking, this ring is the real foundation of Lin Family. It supported Lin Family to survive today!”

Lin Xun was stiff all over. He was touched and asked, “Why is that?”

Lin Zhong took a deep breath and answered, “With the power of this ring, we can get the most powerful ancient book of Lin Family, Taoist Scripture of Illusion!”

“This ancient book is also the secret method of inheritance that only the patriarch of Lin Family is qualified to practice!”

Lin Xun was completely stunned and his mood was fluctuating. It turned out that there was such a shocking secret in this ring! He would never know this secret if Lin Zhong didn’t remind him.

“Young master, five hundred years ago, our Lin Family was one of the eight top aristocratic families! The reason why we can stand side by side with the other seven top aristocratic families is in this Taoist Scripture of Illusion.”

When Lin Zhong said this, he couldn’t help sighing, “It’s just a pity that the patriarch can’t understand the real mystery of Taoist Scripture of Illusion even though he had spent his whole life in it. So his accomplishments had been stuck in Reincarnation Development Realm and he couldn’t reach Life-death Realm.”

“My master was talent in practicing and he had excellent savvy. He was the most promising candidate to master Taoist Scripture of Illusion. However, he was killed in that bloody incident more than ten years ago…”

Lin Zhong’s voice was deep, and his face was full of loneliness and melancholy.

Lin Xun realized that he not only took over an empty Heart-cleansing Peak, but also the greatest wealth left by his ancestors!

“Granddad Zhong, do you know how to restart the power of this ring? Why can’t I feel any difference at all?”

Lin Xun suddenly asked.

“Young master, I have heard from the patriarch that you could get the hidden secret of the ring only when you reach Sea Spirit Realm.”

Lin Zhong explained in a low voice.

“I see.”

Lin Xun understood at once. He carefully put it away after he thought for a while. This was the treasure of Lin Family. He would have a chance to have a glimpse of the mystery of Taoist Scripture of Illusion when he reached Sea Spirit Realm!

Suddenly, Lin Zhong thought of something. He clapped his forehead and said, “Young master, I was so excited just now, that I forgot one thing.”

Lin Xun asked then, “What’s the matter?”

A haze surged on Lin Zhong’s face, “The four clans of Lin Family will send a representative to visit you at Heart-cleansing Peak this afternoon.”

Lin Xun picked up his eyebrows and said with a sneer, “I just went back to Heart-cleansing Peak for two days. They can’t sit still longer, can they?”
