Chapter 6: Chapter 6: I am the plot wrecker two
Lin Xing was once again convinced that the original work was not to be trusted.
This six - tailed demon fox was nothing like the magnanimous and kind - hearted one described in the original. Without a word, it attacked as soon as they met.
Serves you right for only having one year of lifespan left!
Facing the fire dragon, Lin Xing didn't retreat but advanced instead. Under the sharp insight of the Sharingan, the trajectory of the fire dragon was clearly visible.
"Chidori!"
A bolt of lightning extended from Lin Xing's right hand and quickly struck the ground in front of the six - tailed demon fox's feet, kicking up clouds of dust. Spiritual energy surged in his left hand, and a cyan Taiji Xuanqing Dao pattern emerged, blocking the remaining heat of the fire dragon around him.
"Boom!"
The Taiji diagram collided with the fire dragon, and flames scattered in all directions. Lin Xing's Daoist robe was torn in several places of different sizes.
Lin Xing complained: Damn it, I shouldn't have tried to be cool. Now I have to change my clothes again.
The man stood there, looking at Lin Xing with a serious gaze, and slowly said, "What do you want?"
Lin Xing was on the verge of tears. Those were clearly the words he should have said. Why did you say them first?
However, some polite words still had to be spoken. "I'm here to help you!" Lin Xing tried his best to make his words sound sincere. If he pushed the other party too hard and things fell apart, where could he find the Mysterious Fire Talisman?
"Are you from the Qingyun Sect?" The man spoke again, staring at the Taiji diagram in Lin Xing's left hand.
"You're here to kill me, right?"
"Indeed, you, young man, are a member of the righteous path and consider it your duty to eliminate evil demons and wry path."
"Killing me is the right thing to do. Your elders and masters must have said so, that demons and monsters endanger the world—"
"I'm here to get the Mysterious Fire Talisman!" Lin Xing couldn't stand it anymore. He hadn't done anything or said anything, and it was all this man's self - directed and self - acted drama. Do monsters have such vivid imaginations?
The man hesitated for a long time. He never expected Lin Xing to answer like this. Looking at Lin Xing's blood - red pupils, the man suddenly realized and said, "So that's it. You're a spy of the Demonic Sect hidden in the Qingyun Sect. Well, I accept my fate."
"However, judging by your age, you're only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet your Daoist skills are not low. I wonder which sect you're from?"
"The Ghost King Sect would never make things difficult for me. Your techniques show no sign of the Wandu Sect. So, are you from the Changsheng Hall? But it doesn't seem so either. Alas, new generations replace the old. I'm no longer up to it. Back in the day..."
Lin Xing was in awe of this man's wild imagination. In just an instant, he had said so much with apparent logic. Well, Lin Xing surrendered.
"I'm from the Qingyun Sect. There's no need to hide this."
The six - tailed demon fox opened its mouth to say something. Lin Xing quickly added, fearing that this guy would start rambling again: "I'll help you heal your injuries, and you give me the Mysterious Fire Talisman. It's a mutually beneficial deal. How about it?"
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The six - tailed demon fox looked at Lin Xing in disbelief. "You, you're willing to help me?"
"I never lie." As soon as he said this, Lin Xing felt his face turn red.
"Are you really a disciple of the Qingyun Sect?" The six - tailed demon fox asked again.
"Are you annoying? Why are you asking so many questions? What's the point of me lying to you? Don't treat me like those stubborn righteous people. Let me tell you, I even have the Blood - Devouring Pearl. Do I care about these trifles?" Lin Xing said all this in one breath. As if it wasn't enough, he continued, "Don't hesitate. Trust me. If you feel you're at a disadvantage, when I become stronger in the future, I'll help you rescue your mother, the nine - tailed fox. How about that?"
"Can you really save my mother?"
"Not now, but I can in the future."
Meeting that chatterbox was the biggest miscalculation of Lin Xing's trip.
It took Lin Xing three days to completely cure the six - tailed demon fox. With the super strong insight of the Sharingan, combined with the precise control of chakra and the transformation of the fire - attribute nature, although the cold ice of Elder Shangguan Ce was powerful, it was gradually weakened and cleared bit by bit.
Of course, these three days were the most painful days since Lin Xing transmigrated. He endured the torment of the six - tailed fox all the time.
What also shocked Lin Xing was the three - tailed demon fox. It was carefree and slovenly, with not a trace of the gentle and demure charm described in the original. After staying in the Black Stone Cave for three days, Lin Xing felt that his outlook on life and the world had been completely changed.
"Could this be the butterfly effect?" Lin Xing murmured.
"Little Xing, do you really have to leave?" Before Lin Xing left, the two demon foxes tried to persuade him to stay more than once.
Damn it, if I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!
"I've got the Mysterious Fire Talisman, and Sixth Brother, you've also taught me the blood - refining method. This trip has been really rewarding!" Lin Xing said jokingly.
"The Seven - Peak Martial Competition is approaching. I have to make preparations. I'll come to see you two again when I'm free."
Before the two demon foxes could reply, Lin Xing scurried away.
"An interesting young man." The six - tailed demon fox said.
"Sixth Brother, he has the Blood - Devouring Pearl. Will he be discovered? The Qingyun Sect has strict discipline, yet there's such an exception."
"Don't worry. That little sly guy is very shrewd."
Lin Xing walked in the mountains, feeling extremely relaxed.
Looking at the Blood - Devouring Pearl, Lin Xing was filled with joy. Although it was an evil item, it had the power equivalent to that of a celestial weapon. After blood - refining the Blood - Devouring Pearl, Lin Xing felt a kind of affectionate connection with it, and it was very easy to use.
"Kongsang Mountain. It's just the right place to test your power."
As if it had heard Lin Xing's thoughts, the Blood - Devouring Pearl glowed with red light and trembled slightly.
According to the information he had gathered, Lin Xing took his time and spent half a year arriving at Kongsang Mountain.
In the past half - year, Lin Xing's cultivation once again became frenzied. During the day, he cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, and at night, he secretly ran to the deserted mountains to unrestrainedly release various large - scale ninjutsu.
After half a year of refinement, the fourth layer of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao had become stable. The fourth layer of the Jade Purity Realm was a real watershed. Once one reached this layer, one had the foundation of all methods and could practice various other wonderful magic arts. During these days of cultivating the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Lin Xing had countless brilliant ideas. His vision had become broader than ever before, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Dragon Head Peak and let the old man Cangsong solve all his questions at once.
Lin Xing finally understood the feelings of those senior predecessors who endured the loneliness to go into seclusion for several years and gave up getting married and having children. Cultivating magic arts and experiencing the mysteries of all things in the world was a truly fascinating thing.
Lin Xing even began to believe in the idea of immortality. The Taiji Xuanqing Dao was extremely profound. If one could cultivate it to the extreme of the Grand Purity Realm and even break through further, even if one didn't achieve immortality, it wouldn't be far off. If he could obtain the Heavenly Book this time, it would undoubtedly be a great help in his exploration of immortality.
Lin Xing was full of anticipation.
However, compared with the insights into the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Lin Xing's progress in ninjutsu was more tangible. The transformations of the wind, fire, and lightning attributes had all achieved initial success. He had mastered the Chidori to perfection, after all, it was the best choice to match the Sharingan. The transformations of the wind and fire attributes were slightly less proficient, but their power was astonishing.
It's better to be proficient in one thing than to be mediocre in many. Lin Xing knew this well. He focused on the lightning attribute and practiced day and night. Many of the mountains he passed through had been damaged.
As the saying goes, no pains, no gains. The result of Lin Xing's hard - work was the rapid increase of his combat power. He had more confidence in his trip to Kongsang Mountain.
In front of an inconspicuous and dilapidated cave, Lin Xing stood. Right before him was the destination of this trip, Kongsang Mountain.
This was a turning point in the world of Zhu Xian. The starting point of everything.
The fates of Zhang Xiaofan, Bi Yao, and Lu Xueqi were intertwined here. The Heavenly Book made its first appearance here. The Black - Water Mysterious Snake, the Hehuan Bell, the Infatuation Curse...
So many things were closely related to this place.
And what Lin Xing had to do was to destroy the starting point of this domino effect!
Whether it was to take control of his own destiny or to prevent the tragedies from happening.
"Destiny, I will rewrite it!"
Lin Xing's blood - red eyes reflected an unprecedented determination.
