CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 260: ARE YOU CRAZY? ARE YOU SICK?

Wen Zhixing was about to study it further when he felt another surge of power within his body.

BUZZ!

The dazzling Eternal Star began to rotate within him. Subsequently, a tremendous force blossomed forth. A sensation of expansion washed over him. Endless power surged from within his Longevity Body.

"What is this..." Wen Zhixing’s eyes showed a trace of astonishment.

His body was rapidly becoming stronger. The Longevity Body’s self-enhancement speed wasn’t slow, but it had never reached this current level. Moreover, a considerable amount of energy began to dissipate.

The rotation speed of the Eternal Star is not slow. With each rotation, some of my power is stimulated. After observing silently for a moment, Wen Zhixing’s face showed excitement. This Genius Spirit truly was perfect for him.

Originally, above his Sea of Qi, there was a miniature sun condensed through the Nine-turns Sun Sutra. But now, in comparison, it was like comparing the bright moon to a firefly’s glow. However, Wen Zhixing had not fully mastered the Nine-turns Sun Sutra. If he could obtain the latter volume, perhaps completely new transformations would occur.

It would be a pity for this overflowing energy to go to waste. Wen Zhixing felt a pang of regret, but then an idea struck him. He began to circulate his cultivation skill, the Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill. This technique required a vast amount of energy for a breakthrough. This way, he could absorb energy from two sources—perfect.

Moments later, new panel prompts popped up.

[Your flesh essence has absorbed to the limit, Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill begins its breakthrough.]

[Caution: Upon a successful breakthrough, a Divine Tribulation will descend.]

[Caution: The Divine Tribulation is unavoidable.]

[Current level: fourth.]

So soon... to think the breakthrough has already started... Wen Zhixing was slightly startled. Only a short while had passed, perhaps the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, yet the Hundred Tribulations Ancient Skill was already beginning to break through. Previously, it took Wen Zhixing more than ten days and the slaying of over a hundred demons just to barely advance this skill to its fourth level. He had thought that leveling it up further would be difficult. However, with the appearance of the Eternal Genius Spirit, a breakthrough began immediately.

I can’t break through here... Wen Zhixing glanced around. This was the Lin Mansion. If the Divine Tribulation were to descend here, it would attract far too much attention. He preferred to keep a low profile.

Time to leave. Sensing the impending Divine Tribulation, Wen Zhixing didn’t hesitate. He immediately tried to use his Divine Ability [Ends of the Earth in the Blink of an Eye] to escape. It was just as well; he had already rescued the person. Having killed Lu Shangxing and Qin Tian, the rest could be dealt with slowly.

BUZZ!

At Wen Zhixing’s thought, ripples spread through the surrounding space, and what seemed like a path to the heavens appeared before him.

BOOM!

However, the next moment, this path was abruptly severed by an unknown force.

"PFFT!"

Wen Zhixing violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body shuddering. His Divine Ability had failed, and he suffered a backlash.

CRACK! CRACK!

The sounds of bones breaking and even his Sea of Qi cracking echoed from within him. Using this Divine Ability already placed an immense strain on Wen Zhixing’s body. Now that he was suffering a backlash, the consequences were even more severe.

[This place has been sealed by the Heaven Sealing Earth Locking Array, and with your level of cultivation, you cannot breach the power of this array method.]

[Your Divine Ability Ends of the Earth in the Blink of an Eye has been interrupted, your body has suffered a severe backlash.]

[You are severely injured, with all bones shattered, your Sea of Qi cracked, and your physical body half-destroyed.]

[Your body begins to heal.]

[Ten...]

[Nine...]

An array method? Wen Zhixing was immediately alarmed, clenching his teeth due to the intense pain. When he first arrived here, he hadn’t noticed any array methods. What was going on?

He paid no mind to his body, even though all his bones had shattered, his Sea of Qi had ruptured, and he lay on the ground like a pile of mud. Wen Zhixing remained calm. It didn’t matter, as long as he was still alive. He gritted his teeth. Recovery would be quick.

No, something’s wrong. As his body was recovering, Wen Zhixing sensed something amiss. A profound sense of danger suddenly washed over him. He had been immersed in cultivation and his breakthrough, oblivious to the outside world. Now, he distinctly felt that something was off. Even though he was inside the house, he could still feel the oppressive atmosphere enveloping the entire Lin Mansion. The atmosphere was off.

It must be aimed at me. Wen Zhixing furrowed his brows. In just a few seconds, his body had largely recovered. He was still very perceptive. If the Lin family had taken action, it must have been because they had discovered what happened to Lu Shangxing.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Before Wen Zhixing could ponder further, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

"Xiao Tian, it’s me." Qin Yang’s voice came at just the right moment.

[Your body has completely recovered.]

Wen Zhixing rose from the ground. A thought occurred to him, and he moved forward to disable the array method before opening the door. He didn’t bother cleaning the bloodstains from his body.

Qin Yang and Qin Hao stood before him. Changes had occurred in the Lin Mansion. To prevent any incidents, Qin Yang had felt it necessary to gather his two nephews first. He, too, felt somewhat anxious. Now, they were all trapped within the Lin Mansion. He feared that even sending messages to Si Nanyan and her companion would be impossible. Qin Yang had no choice but to inform Qin Tian and Qin Hao about the Divine Soul Marks he had placed on Si Nanyan and her companion.

Qin Hao, who originally did not want to meet Qin Tian, changed his mind after hearing this news. It turned out that Qin Yang had orchestrated all the previous events, aiming to capture Wen Zhixing. Thus, another opportunity had presented itself.
