208: Chapter 208 The Soul-Devouring Sword Clan

"Cough, cough, cough..." Throughout the entire scene, Lin Bei had the most intense reaction.

"Revered Master..." Chen Ping approached him and whispered, "Senior Black Tortoise's head indeed doesn't look very good... but you don't need to react so strongly, right?"

"Hmm, it's nothing. I'm just surprised that they are actually old acquaintances. This is too much of a coincidence..." Lin Bei's expression turned serious; naturally, he couldn't explain to him why his reaction was so intense.

"That is true!" Chen Ping nodded, then smiled and said, "I've never seen Senior Black Tortoise looking like this before!"

At this moment, the Old Turtle no longer looked crazy or lacking in dignity as he usually did; he looked at the woman opposite him with an earnest expression.

"Zhu... Miss Zhu, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Back then, I really wasn't peeking at you bathing..."

"You! You still dare to say it!?" Zhu Zhu did not expect the Old Turtle to speak so bluntly!

Noticing the strange gazes of Lin Bei and the others, as well as the Cultivators rushing over to watch the spectacle.

"Old Turtle! If you have the guts, get over here!" She gritted her teeth, and her figure flashed, appearing in a dense forest dozens of miles away.

The Old Black Tortoise did not hesitate and immediately chased after her like a piece of sticky plaster.

With a flash of white light, a little boy who had come to join the fun arrived late.

"What melon? What melon!" The pink and tender boy transformed from the little Black Tortoise held a candied hawthorn in his hand, turned his head to look at Chen Ping, "Eh? Sect Master, you are here too?"

Lin Bei smiled amusedly, patted his little bald head, "It's nothing major, it's just that your Old Ancestor wants to find you a grandmother..."

Looking at Zhu Zhu's appearance, he didn't believe that the relationship between the two was really as simple as peeking and being peeked at while bathing.

Late at night.

Chen Ping sat cross-legged in his room, while Lin Bei stood to the side, frowning.

Just now, he had already examined Chen Ping's body and failed to find any abnormalities.

"Revered Master, how is it?" Xia Yuhe's expression was somewhat nervous.

She knew that the inability to Breakthrough had always been a source of anxiety for Chen Ping.

"I can't tell for now..." Lin Bei sighed lightly, "However, we can try to force a Breakthrough!"

While speaking, fifty units of divine source liquid appeared in the room.

"Ah!" Xia Yuhe screamed, forced back a dozen steps by the pressure of the spiritual energy.

"Concentrate your mind and push through!" He shouted lowly at Chen Ping and pointed a finger.

The divine source liquid immediately transformed into the purest spiritual energy and poured into Chen Ping's body.

In an instant, the space began to churn.

With the Universe Great Formation in existence, the spiritual energy within the Heavenly Court was already a hundred times that of the outside world; at this moment, the spiritual energy in Chen Ping's courtyard was more than a hundred times denser than anywhere else in the Heavenly Court.

It could be said that even if you put a pig in this environment for a month, it could successfully achieve Foundation Establishment.

After a few breaths, Lin Bei clearly sensed that the spiritual energy within Chen Ping's body had transformed into the Saint Realm under his compression.

But strangely, Chen Ping's cultivation base still hadn't broken through and remained at the Dragon Transformation Peak.

"What is going on?" He could feel that if his power were withdrawn, the spiritual energy within Chen Ping's body would revert to the Dragon Transformation Peak.

"Continue!" A flash of light appeared in Lin Bei's eyes, and he continued to strengthen his power.

After another few dozen breaths, the spiritual energy within Chen Ping's body strengthened again, transforming from the Early Stage of the Saint Realm to the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm.

"What the hell?" Looking at Chen Ping, whose cultivation base was still at the Dragon Transformation Peak, Lin Bei was also somewhat baffled.

"It seems it won't work..." He sighed inwardly, shifted his hand movements, and used his powerful strength to Seal all the spiritual energy within his body.

"In this way, when you achieve a Saint-Grade Breakthrough, you can directly become a Saint in the Middle Stage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light soared into the sky from within the room and merged into the golden list in the sky.

This kind of thing was very common in the Heavenly Court and didn't attract too much attention.

In the room, Lin Bei and Chen Ping looked at Xia Yuhe, then looked at each other, both with helpless expressions.

The one who had the Breakthrough was not Chen Ping, but Xia Yuhe...

"Brother Chen Ping..." Xia Yuhe felt no joy at the Breakthrough at all, "I didn't want to break through either... but, but the spiritual energy was just too dense... I broke through without even realizing it..."

Chen Ping suppressed his confusion and forced a smile, "Silly girl, what are you saying? Breaking through is certainly a good thing! Your husband is not that fragile!"

Lin Bei quietly watched this scene.

He knew that although Chen Ping said he didn't mind, he definitely felt bad inside.

"Let's go! Come out with me!"

An incense stick of time later, the two appeared in the courtyard of the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion.

Under the moonlight, the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion sat in the courtyard, with three steaming cups of tea placed on the stone table.

Lin Bei was already used to this, so he pulled Chen Ping over and sat directly at the stone table.

"Does Senior know the reason for our visit?" Lin Bei teased with a smile.

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion, however, smiled slightly, completely ignoring him, and began to speak to himself.

"Most of the Yao Race on the Primordial Continent today have been assimilated by the Human Race, and their cultivation methods differ little from the Human Race!"

"Little do they know, in the very distant past, the Yao Race focused on their own Innate talents and Origin. If the Origin was insufficient, one would never be able to step into the Saint Realm in their entire life!"

The teacup in Lin Bei's hand paused, "Does Senior mean that my Disciple is from the Yao Race? And a Yao Race member with an insufficient Origin?"

"No!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion shook his head with a smile, "But it is indeed an insufficient Origin!"

"This..." Lin Bei frowned.

Not from the Yao Race but with an insufficient Origin?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Is Senior talking about the Innate Sword Body Origin?"

"Actually, your Disciple is not a pure Innate Sword Body; it would be more appropriate to call it an Innate Spirit Devouring Sword Body!"

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion explained.

"The Spirit Devouring Sword Clan, that was a very powerful race in the early days of the Primordial Continent!"

"Spirit Devouring Sword Clan?" Lin Bei was confused, "Please enlighten me, Senior!"

"Haha..." The old man picked up the tea, "You don't think that after the Great Destruction, all the living beings that slowly appeared on the Primordial Continent were the Human Race, do you?"

"Of course not, isn't there still the Yao Race..." Lin Bei answered matter-of-factly.

The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion glanced at him and said slowly, "In fact, besides the Human Race and the Yao Race, there are hundreds of strange races!"

"Hundreds? Strange races?" Lin Bei's brain twitched, and he asked casually, "How strange?"

The old man rolled his eyes, "All kinds of strange things you can't imagine!"

"For example, the Spirit Devouring Sword Clan, besides being able to devour various Origins, can also transform themselves into swords, and their power is truly not weak!"

"Senior, but how could my Disciple possess the Bloodline of the Spirit Devouring Sword Clan?"

"That you'll have to ask his parents..."

"Uh..." Lin Bei was immediately unable to continue, then asked, "Then why can't these strange races be seen on the Primordial Continent nowadays? Have they all gone extinct?"

"These races all have one common characteristic: their ability to reproduce is extremely poor, leading to a small population!"

"As time slowly passed, the numbers of the Human Race and the Yao Race increased greatly, and they began to slowly squeeze out these races..."

"The friction intensified, and eventually, war broke out!"

"This was the most tragic war since the early days of the Primordial Continent after the eradication of the Destroyers!"

"The Human Race and the Yao Race, relying on their numerical advantage, plus the fact that those strange races were not united at all, held the absolute upper hand!"

"However..." The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion said up to this point, paused, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
