208: Chapter 208 Lin Aiqing, calm down! The Heavenly Sword Treasure Trove is open!

"The source heaven dao sword?" A look of astonishment appeared on Lin Ran's face.

"Indeed. It is said that great mysteries are hidden within the source heaven dao sword, though no one knows exactly what these mysteries are as of yet."

"When I entered the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury in the past, the source heaven dao sword appeared once, but unfortunately, no one was able to obtain it then." Li Wuqing shook his head.

Lin Ran asked with a strange look in his eyes, "Does the appearance of the source heaven dao sword depend on one's Luck?"

Judging by what Li Wuqing said, it seemed that simply entering the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury was not enough to encounter the source heaven dao sword; it appeared to depend on whether the sword itself was willing to reveal itself.

"Indeed. Sometimes, when the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury opens, the source heaven dao sword will appear of its own accord."

"And at other times, the source heaven dao sword will remain dormant and will not reveal itself."

"Once the source heaven dao sword chooses to remain dormant, trying to find it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack; it is an impossible task."

"Therefore, to obtain the source heaven dao sword, one needs the right time, place, and people!" Li Wuqing explained.

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then continued.

"In this Imperial Province, powerful beings have already divined that the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury will open in one week."

"Minister Lin, I have heard that you have long since formed a grudge against the Crown Prince?"

Li Wuqing looked at Lin Ran with a half-smile, waiting for his reply.

Lin Ran frowned slightly, pondering Li Wuqing's intentions in his heart.

Was Li Wuqing asking him this because he intended to side with Li Junze, or with him?

He pondered for a moment and gave a slight nod, "Back at the Heavenly Sound Tower, I destroyed the Crown Prince's spiritual body and his followers, so we did indeed form a grudge."

"Hmm. That person, the Crown Prince, has had a crooked mind ever since he suddenly rose to prominence."

"I have naturally seen all of this. The grudge between you and him must be resolved by you yourselves; I naturally will not interfere in your affairs." Li Wuqing said with a smile.

Once these words were spoken, Lin Ran understood immediately.

Li Wuqing had completely abandoned Li Junze and was preparing to use his hand to quietly eliminate Li Junze within the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury!

But as the saying goes, even a tiger does not eat its own cubs!

Yet now, Li Wuqing was implying in every way that he intended to use his hand to kill Li Junze.

Could it be... that Li Wuqing had already discovered those unspeakable deeds Li Junze was doing in private!

【Ding! Detected that the Host has triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission. Please read the following content!】

【For the sake of this System's rice bowl, Li Junze must be eliminated!】

【Mission: Agree to the implication behind Li Wuqing's words and kill Li Junze!】

【Reward: 130,000 destiny points, dragon slaying sword fragment (four)】

Seeing the final dragon slaying sword fragment, Lin Ran's eyes lit up. He stood up abruptly and said, "Your Majesty, please grant me my reward as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will definitely eliminate Li Junze in the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury!"

"Pfft!" Li Wuqing immediately spat out the tea he had just drunk.

"Minister Lin, Minister Lin! Calm down, calm down."

"When did I ever say that I wanted you to kill Li Junze?!" Li Wuqing's heart raced with fright.

Although Li Junze had committed heinous crimes, he was still his eldest son, after all.

If he were to really kill Li Junze, he would still be somewhat unable to bear it.

At most, he just wanted Lin Ran to cripple Li Junze; there was no need to take his life.

After all, since Li Junze's personality had changed drastically after his rise, becoming increasingly crooked in his ways.

Then, as long as Li Junze was crippled and returned to being an ordinary person, he could surely live out the rest of his life in peace.

Therefore, he had not yet thought about killing Li Junze; he only wanted Lin Ran to cripple him.

As for whether or not to eliminate Li Junze, that would depend on Li Junze's own performance.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this subject understands everything!"

"It is said that even a tiger does not eat its own cubs, but I am no tiger, and that Li Junze is certainly not my offspring. Therefore, I can eliminate Li Junze!"

Lin Ran's murderous appearance made Li Wuqing's heart race.

You understand?! You understand my foot!!!

"Your Majesty, you don't need to say so much. When the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury opens, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

After saying this, Lin Ran turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight.

"Damn it! Why does this kid have such great hostility toward Li Junze?!"

"I don't think he is that kind of narrow-minded person?!" Li Wuqing stared blankly at Lin Ran's retreating figure, his expression dazed.

Even he was somewhat surprised by Lin Ran's Killing Intent toward Li Junze.

In his view, the grudge between Lin Ran and Li Junze was nothing more than a petty squabble; was it necessary to escalate it to such a degree?!

Of course, what he did not know was that Li Junze was someone who possessed the waste-to-prodigy face-slapping system, while Lin Ran was someone who possessed the Destiny System.

Ninety-nine percent of Lin Ran's Killing Intent toward Li Junze was because of the Destiny System!

...

On the other side. After Lin Ran returned to Li Huayin's residence, it was not long before his reward arrived.

A full five thousand Medium Grade divine source stones and one hundred High Grade divine source stones; surely this would be enough to advance his Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon world realm by quite a few levels!

"The day the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury opens is in one week. There will be much to do when that time comes..." Lin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

Indeed, he had many things to do on this trip to the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury.

First, eliminate Li Junze to vent the System's frustration.

Second, eliminate the goddess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan to avenge his Master Baby.

Third, if the source heaven dao sword appears when the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury opens this time, he must also try to seize it.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran took a deep breath, took his reward, returned to his room, and began his closed-door Cultivation.

Currently, the world realm of his Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon had only been Cultivated to the sixty-ninth layer of the First Heaven.

This was far from enough.

Relying on these Medium Grade divine source stones and High Grade divine source stones, Lin Ran was determined to Breakthrough his Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon world realm to the Second Heaven this time!

Time passed minute by minute, and the entire Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, or rather the entire Imperial Province, fell into a deathly silence.

It was like stagnant water without a single ripple, terrifyingly calm.

However, beneath this calm, stagnant water, there were undercurrents surging that could disrupt the heavens and the earth!

...

On this day, the Imperial Province trembled as a majestic heavenly sword descended from the Nine Heavens, splitting the vast earth and spreading layers of spatial ripples.

Countless factions were startled and looked toward the direction of the heavenly sword.

The Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury... has opened!!

In the firmament, carriage after carriage and ancient tower ship after ancient tower ship sped through the air, rushing toward the location of the heavenly sword.

Cold Moon Pavilion. A woman wearing a snow-white dress, with five fox tails swaying elegantly in the air behind her, waited quietly in front of a blessed land, seemingly waiting for someone.
