Chapter 589 – Outside the Six Paths
Zhuang Xinglan leaned over and lowered his voice. “I am saying, Old Yin, do you think Huarong Sword Immortal looks beautiful?”
Yin Xingli glanced at him and said, “Are the number of beautiful people you see lacking?”
Zhuang Xinglan made a sound, “You have the nerve to talk about me. If you didn’t think he was pretty, would you continue to stare at him? Old Yin, you are too careless. You didn’t even blink when staring at him.”
Yin Xingli said, “Don’t use your dirty thoughts to try to guess my thoughts, I just think… this Huarong Sword Immortal is quite strange.”
Zhuang Xinglan didn’t believe his excuses and asked, “How is he strange?”
Yin Xingli narrowed his eyes slightly, turned ahead, and softly said, “You can always tell something about their character and destiny from their appearance, but from Huarong Sword Immortal’s face, I can’t deduce out anything, which is really strange.”
Zhuang Xinglan tutted twice, looked at Lin Xuanzhi, whose eyes were smiling and looked like a spring breeze, and then turned to Yin Xingli and said, “Maybe it’s because your cultivation is less than his. I heard that Huarong Sword Immortal has long ago reached the peak of the Small Perfection Stage, only one step away from the Sword Saint level, but your Small Perfection Stage is still only at minor attainment.”
As a matter of fact, for prophets, if they didn’t use special techniques, they could only divine the fate of those who were at the same level or lower than them. Yin Xingli didn’t use any further techniques to help him, therefore it was obviously not an easy task to see Lin Xuanzhi’s fate using only a pair of eyes.
Yin Xingli thought for a moment and said, “But I once heard my friend say that Lin Huarong’s bones are very young, he might not have passed 50 years since his bone structure became fixed. Less than 50 years old and already entered Earth Realm’s Small Perfection Stage. What kind of talent is this?”
Yin Xingli was already 100 years old, but he had just entered the Small Perfection Stage. And his cultivation progress was already considered one of the top in the Nine Lands.
But Lin Huarong, when he was less than 50, had already stepped into the peak of the Small Perfection Stage. If he actually said it outloud, it would really cause a sensation. Yin Xingli secretly thought about it, and just waited for the opportunity to use a different method to do a divination for this Huarong Sword Immortal.
When they reached Myriad Dao Academy, it was natural to have a banquet first, but before the banquet, Lin Zhan first asked about where he was living, and after that he confirmed it, he went to the banquet with everyone.
There were comparatively many people at the banquet, so they didn’t talk about the most important things. The atmosphere was considered relaxed and cheerful. Lin Zhan was cheerful and free spirited, and he was not afraid of being lively while meeting strangers. He was somewhat bright and cheerful, and he had received the goodwill of many elders of the sect.
After the banquet, Lin Zhan went to tour Myriad Dao Academy with several elders of Sword God Hall and Pill Limit Hall. As the current caretaker of Sword God Hall, Lin Xuanzhi accompanied him.
After the tour, Lin Zhan made a show of sighing with emotion, before he proceeded to the next place in the scheduled itinerary. One thousand people all entered the Sword God Hall together.
After closing the doors, Lin Zhan’s line of sight passed by the deans of the four courtyards and the three Hall Masters, and fell on City Lord Qin again. Behind Lin Zhan stood Zhuang Xinglan and Yin Xingli, along with Jade Ocean City’s General Jiang, who escorted him along the way.
When Lin Zhan saw that almost everyone was here, he opened his mouth and said, “Originally, I didn’t intend to bother everyone. Only, just three days after the East Land received the alarm from the Sect, I found traces of Fiends in the Eastern capital. Although General Zhuang beheaded the Fiend by sword, this matter may not be concluded. I don’t not know if the Fiends in Ethereal City have been caught?”
Tianshu Sword Saint and Lin Xuanzhi looked at each other, and Lin Xuanzhi looked at his father and said, “Three days ago in Ethereal City, there was already a Fiend attack, but after discussing it with City Lord Qin, we thought that blockading the news would be more conducive to maintaining stability, so we didn’t reveal it.”
Speaking of this, Lin Zhan looked at Yin Xingli and said, “It’s a matter of the utmost importance. Although I am fully aware that Myriad Dao’s astrological platform has never been open to outsiders, I still want to borrow it.”
When those words came out, everyone looked at each other.
In the legend of astrology, the astrological platform was the closest place to the Dao of Heaven in the Nine Lands. When divining on the astrological platform, one could use half the effort to get double the results. It’s just that the astrological platform hadn’t been activated for hundreds of years. Suddenly no one spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
The elders of the sect never thought that Lin Zhan would make such a request when he opened his mouth.
“It’s not that we aren’t willing to open the astrological platform.” At this time, the sect’s judge opened his mouth, and his voice indifferently said, “But if the astrological platform is activated even once, it must be, without exception, a major event related to the survival of the Nine Lands, and it must burn tens of thousands of spirit stones at one time. At the same time, there must be at least 300 people to protect the array, and the prophet must be able to bear the backlash of the Dao of Heaven, therefore it is not as easy as merely talking about activating it.”
Lin Zhan said with suspicion, “It’s this particular?”
Judge Ling answered, “It’s even more particular than this.”
Lin Zhan immediately said, “Then forget about it.”
The elders who were thinking of every method to argue for what was right and dispel Lin Zhan’s ideas, …..Giving up this easily?
Yin Xingli seemed to disagree, saying, “Your Highness, we are already here. It’s such a good opportunity…..”
“No. If it was just the spirit stones it would be fine, but there’s also the Dao of Heaven’s backlash.” Lin Zhan said unhappily, “The Dao of Heaven is a shameless, absolutely disgraceful bastard. Who knows how it will mess with you? I don’t agree.”
“Hiss-” A Myriad Dao Academy elder could not help but gasp and after hearing Lin Zhan say words of revolt.
Mr. Lan’s eyes jumped and said, “Myriad Dao Academy is the nearest to heaven. Eastern Empress should be careful when you speak. Don’t offend the Dao of Heaven.”
Lin Zhan said carelessly, “It is the Dao of Heaven that has always offended me. When have I ever offended it? What’s more, it’s impossible for the Dao of Heaven to punish me for just two sentences of scolding. There is no need to make a fuss?”
Mr. Lan, who made a fuss, “……”
Lin Xuanzhi was able to lightly smile and shrug it off.
Ever since he was thoroughly screwed by the Dao of Heaven eight and a half years ago, Lin Zhan had never had a good word about the Dao of Heaven, even specifically going to the highest tower in the East Land to curse the Dao of Heaven for hours.
However, Lin Zhan was the only one who dared to be so fearless.
Come to speak of it, Lin Zhan was a true person outside the six paths, and even the fires of the Dao of Heaven couldn’t burn or reach him.
Lin Zhan didn’t want to be too offensive either, only he was used to being impudent in front of Xuan Wushe and he couldn’t retract it back for a little while, so he bent his lips and downplayed the previous topic.
Due to geographical reasons, the East Land still had frequent contact with Myriad Dao Academy, and the estates under Lin Zhan’s name often did business with Myriad Dao Academy. Even if they didn’t mention Fiends, they still had a lot to talk about.
However, the final topic still returned to the Fiends.
After all, it was the most important reason why the East came to Myriad Dao Academy.
Tianshu Sword Saint said, “If you want to know the scale of Fiends today, you must try every method to go to the Land of Great Evil to be able to know.”
Lin Zhan felt the same way and nodded, “The principle is correct, but I’m afraid only the Yan family knows where it is. After all, it was the Yan family who drove the Fiends back to the Land of Great Evil.”
Yaoguang shook his head and said, “This was just recorded by the Yan family. In reality, I once heard from Master that it was actually a great power of the Xuan family who drove away the Fiends and drove them back to the Land of Great Evil in one fell swoop, and it wasn’t the Yan family.”
Lin Zhan meaningfully hooked his lips and said, “I am not clear about this matter, and the East Sovereign never told me this.”
Tianshu Sword Saint raised his eyebrows. “It is really not clear to the East Empress?”
Lin Zhan said, “There is the common saying, ‘the harem not should not interfere with politics’, and the East Sovereign is particularly sensitive about this subject, so I don’t mess with it.”
Tianshu Sword Saint couldn’t help but flatten his mouth.
Lin Zhan had already been able to represent the East Sovereign and come to Myriad Dao Academy. What is there to make modest declinations about?
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Lin Zhan and said, “Let’s stop here today. The journey of traveling from the East today must have been tiring.”
Lin Zhan nodded and said, “There will be time in the future to talk about it.”
Lin Zhan and Lin Xuanzhi walked on the mountain road, and they deliberately avoided others. The forest was quiet, There was only the sound of cicadas and crows.
Lin Zhan looked around and made sure that there was no one else, before he opened his mouth, “You haven’t visited me in the East Land for so long. Do you still have this father in your heart?”
Lin Xuanzhi faintly smiled and said, “You naturally are, but there are too many things here, I can’t leave.”
Lin Zhan pouted and said, “What rotten things are there too many of? Isn’t your thing just to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate even more? I once said before that if you shut yourself away on the rotten island everyday, sooner or later you will come out sick, and I asked you to come to the east, yet you still didn’t. I really don’t know what’s good about anything here”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “At least it’s peaceful.”
Lin Zhan looked at Lin Xuanzhi and smiled. He reached out and touched his face and said, “I find that every time I see you, you get more handsome than before, much more handsome than your dad.”
Lin Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows and said: “The blue that is made out of indigo is more vivid than the indigo. Aren’t these words what Dad says?”
Lin Zhan’s old heart was comforted and he nodded.
A moment later, Lin Zhan said with concern, “How are you and Ah Hen currently? The last time he entered my dream for some reason, I heard him say that he was rejected by the person he liked, and thought about one day introducing you to him, but now it seems that you have taken the initiative to contact him?”
When it came to Yan Tianhen, Lin Xuanzhi’s expression was a bit richer. He said, “To be honest, your son has already struck first, and has already deceived and gotten a hold of him.”
Lin Zhan, “…..”
Lin Zhan stared with narrow eyes at Lin Xuanzhi. After a moment, he raised his lips and said, “Son, you are really something, you have your father’s air from those times. When you see the person you like, you must strike first without delay, or else when the time comes, they will become someone else’s and you can go cry about it with red eyes. Now that you mention it, are You Ming and King Ye still unaware?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Ah Hen should not have told them yet.”
Lin Zhan said, “Then don’t tell them for the time being. King Ye at least is fine. With You Ming’s temper, if he were to find out, he would explode wherever he was, and would slaughter his way to Myriad Dao Academy looking to trouble you.”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled and didn’t respond.
Both he and Yan Tianhen hadn’t told their family their plans for the time being, but Lin Zhan was an insider from beginning to end, therefore he told the truth. As for King Ye’s husband, Lin Xuanzhi planned to wait a few years later, when the two of them were stable then make decisions.
There were some matters that really must not be rushed.
