The Nine Tribulations Sword Embryo has arrived in the capital! A hostile welcome awaits!

Oh?

They’ve been waiting for me here all this time?

Lin Mo was slightly surprised to see Ji Lingxue and her servant standing outside the city, eagerly awaiting his arrival.

He hadn't expected the Eldest Princess of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty to be so considerate, truly giving him a lot of Face.

She was indeed worthy of being the Eldest Princess of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty.

Lin Mo had always adhered to the principle of ‘if you show me an inch of respect, I’ll show you a foot’.

So, upon seeing this, he directly increased his flying speed a bit.

However, just as he was nearing Ji Lingxue and her servant, a vast and profound Comprehension suddenly emerged in his mind.

Immediately after, his strength began to soar wildly!

His Aura also uncontrollably leaked out a little.

As luck would have it, Ji Lingxue and her servant bore the brunt of it.

This thoroughly frightened Ji Lingxue.

She had no idea what was happening.

She only saw Lin Mo’s Aura suddenly erupt with aggressive intent, and the target seemed to be the two of them!

However, the truth was that Lin Mo had simply shared Lin Xiyue’s Comprehension of the new Cultivation Technique.

At this moment, within Lin Mo’s body, the Nine Tribulations Immortal Slaying Sword Scripture operated on its own, and a phantom Sword Embryo quietly condensed within his Dantian’s spiritual sea.

This was the sign of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Slaying Sword Scripture successfully achieving initial mastery: the Nine Tribulations Sword Embryo!

This Sword Embryo could split into nine Tribulation Swords, each capable of being nurtured into an Earth-shattering Lifebound Treasure.

If the nine swords were to unite, it would possess unfathomable power!

Currently, the phantom of the first Tribulation Sword had already taken shape.

With the appearance of the Sword Embryo, a substantial, illusory Sword Shadow silently emerged before Lin Mo.

The Sword Shadow was only about three feet long, but the moment Ji Lingxue and Liu Fang saw it,

They felt as if their Divine Souls were about to be completely torn apart by that pure intent of slaughter and annihilation!

Fear!

An unprecedented fear instantly seized their minds.

Just as Ji Lingxue was trembling with fear, thinking the other party intended to harm them,

Lin Mo finally reacted and quickly retracted the Aura and Sword Shadow, then landed in front of the two.

But even so, the lingering pressure still startled Ji Lingxue and Liu Fang, making them instinctively retreat several steps, their Faces filled with terror and vigilance.

“My apologies, please don’t misunderstand.”

“On my way here, I was constantly comprehending a certain Cultivation Technique.”

“And just now, a flash of inspiration allowed me to fortunately gain some insight.”

“It was not intentionally directed at the two of you.”

Looking at the two who were clearly frightened by him, Lin Mo explained with some embarrassment.

He hadn’t expected such a coincidence; as soon as he arrived in Tianyun City, Lin Xiyue had already achieved initial mastery of the Saint Grade Cultivation Technique.

He had thought that, given the profundity of a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique, that girl would need at least several days to comprehend it.

Who knew, he had still underestimated his Younger Sister’s Heaven-Defying and unreasonable Comprehension Ability.

This was truly a genuine Innate Cultivation Saint Body, born specifically for Cultivation!

“Wh-what?!”

“Just comprehending a Cultivation Technique can be this terrifying?!”

Hearing this explanation, Liu Fang was completely stunned; she stared blankly at Lin Mo, speechless for a moment.

“Heh… hehe, n-no, it’s fine.”

“Fellow Daoist… Fellow Daoist is truly a role model for us Cultivators.”

“He doesn’t forget to Cultivate even while traveling.”

Ji Lingxue, her Face pale, forced a smile; she was still somewhat shaken, her heart still pounding wildly.

“I’ve made Eldest Princess Your Highness laugh.”

Lin Mo smiled helplessly, looking at their expressions.

Afterward, to soothe Ji Lingxue’s flustered heart, Lin Mo had to exchange a few more pleasantries.

Once the atmosphere eased, he got to the point.

“Then… Eldest Princess Your Highness, shall we depart now?”

“Very well, without further ado, Fellow Daoist, I shall lead the way.”

Ji Lingxue nodded, gave Lin Mo a deep look, and forcefully suppressed the tumultuous waves in her heart.

She quickly, along with Liu Fang, led Lin Mo towards the Ancient Spirit Dynasty’s Royal City.

Along the way, perhaps to alleviate the previous tense atmosphere, Ji Lingxue proactively asked:

“By the way, I still don’t know Fellow Daoist’s name?”

Previously, out of politeness, she had only addressed him as Fellow Daoist, and she had actually forgotten to ask his name.

“Lin Mo.”

Lin Mo stated his true name.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Lin.”

“A pleasure to meet you.”

“Fellow Daoist Lin looks so young; you truly have a knack for preserving your youth!”

Upon learning Lin Mo’s true name, Liu Fang immediately offered a few flattering remarks.

Now, Lin Mo was a powerful ally they absolutely needed to win over, so naturally, they had to try their best to please him.

Who knew, when she said this, Lin Mo looked at her with a strange expression.

“Uh… Fellow Daoist Lin, did I say something wrong?”

Liu Fang felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and became uneasy.

“Is there a possibility that it’s not that I’m skilled at preserving youth, but that I am simply this young?”

Lin Mo said unhurriedly.

“What?!”

Liu Fang was stunned, and subconsciously asked, “May I ask Fellow Daoist… your age?”

“Eighteen.”

Boom!!

As these two words came out, Liu Fang felt as if she had been struck by a Heavenly God’s lightning bolt from the Nine Heavens; her body swayed, and she almost fell from the sky!

“Fellow Daoist, surely you jest?!”

She looked at Lin Mo, her Face filled with incredulous shock.

“I have no need to joke with you about this,” Lin Mo’s reply was calm.

“Hiss!!!”

Liu Fang gasped, completely stunned by this fact.

Eighteen!

An eighteen-year-old Golden Core True Person!

And a Golden Core True Person who had comprehended such terrifying Sword Intent!

What kind of peerless Prodigy had emerged from where?!

“Ei… eighteen…?!”

Ji Lingxue was also dumbfounded.

Eighteen!

This age was even several years younger than her!

Yet, his strength was already so unfathomable.

Just the slightest Aura inadvertently leaked out during his Cultivation Technique comprehension had almost scared the two of them to death!

What terrifying strength was this?

And what a monstrous talent?

After the shock, an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy suddenly welled up in Ji Lingxue’s heart.

Such a Prodigy would surely achieve extraordinary things in the future!

It was certain that the small Canglin Domain would definitely not be his stage.

And she had become acquainted and befriended him while he was still on the cusp of his full rise!

This was a tremendous Opportunity, both for her and for the Ancient Spirit Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Ji Lingxue’s attitude became even more enthusiastic.

She abandoned her usual cold and noble demeanor and began to converse with Lin Mo non-stop, chatting from Cultivation insights to local customs, as if they had endless topics to discuss.

Lin Mo didn’t refuse either.

After all, when a peerless beauty actively seeks to chat with you, it’s hard to keep a cold expression.

Moreover, Lin Mo also intended to befriend her.

Because with Ji Lingxue’s status, he might need her help in the future.

Maintaining a relatively good relationship was therefore very necessary.

Thus, the three of them chatted and laughed along the way, quickly drawing closer.

More than three hours later, an incredibly magnificent giant city finally appeared at the end of their vision.

That was the Royal Capital of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, Lingyang City!

Looking out, Lingyang City’s walls soared into the clouds, like a mountain range, with runes flowing upon them, emitting powerful Formation fluctuations.

Inside the city, magnificent buildings stood in dense rows, and countless Cultivators transformed into streaks of light, shuttling through them, creating a scene of prosperity and grandeur.

“As expected of a national capital, it’s truly impressive.”

Lin Mo secretly marveled in his heart.

Just as Lin Mo was surveying this majestic Royal Capital, Ji Lingxue, beside him, suddenly noticed something and frowned deeply.

Liu Fang, perceiving her Your Highness’s abnormality, subconsciously followed her gaze.

As a result, the dignified Golden Core True Person, her forehead even began to subtly seep cold sweat.

Instantly, the previously relaxed atmosphere abruptly became heavy!

Lin Mo noticed something was wrong and also turned to look.

Then he saw a figure standing with hands behind his back above the city gate in the distance.

The person wore a luxurious royal robe, with an elegant demeanor, and exuded an ineffably noble Aura, accompanied by the vast pressure unique to a Nascent Soul Realm mighty figure, dominating all directions, showcasing his overbearing presence!

The next moment, that figure’s gaze turned towards them and headed directly for them.

This caused Ji Lingxue and Liu Fang’s breathing to instantly become somewhat rapid.

Only Lin Mo remained calm, as if the newcomer was merely an ordinary person.

Only, a cold smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“It seems… trouble has arrived…”

“Heh… I hope you’re not here to seek death.”

“Otherwise, I might just have to try out the power of a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique!”
