14: Why is the paint on your Emperor Seal peeling off? !

Madam Miao’s beautiful eyes held a teasing glint. “Little fellow, what are you thinking about? I’m your Revered Master, you know~”

“This…”

Lin Ye scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. He had just picked a topic without thinking.

If he were to be accused of flirting with his Revered Master on his first day, that would be a big problem.

“Revered Master, I’m going to build a house now!!!”

With that, Lin Ye darted into the woods as if fleeing.

Madam Miao watched Lin Ye’s retreating back, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness… Once in the woods, Lin Ye’s expression returned to normal. He immersed his mind in the System.

It was time to claim his reward.

Extract Human Emperor Seal, extract Cultivation.

Buzz… A rich spiritual energy filled Lin Ye’s Qi Sea, and the black Golden Core gradually became more solid.

Middle Stage of Golden Core Stage achieved!

Having embarked on the path of Cultivation, he naturally had some understanding of the Realms.

The Realms in the Cultivation world are divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Body Integration, Purple Mansion, Undergoing Tribulation, Mahayana, Saint, Supreme, and Great Emperor.

The Golden Core Stage was merely the beginning.

But as the Holy Lord said, for the younger generation, reaching the Golden Core Stage was already considered a Genius.

After stabilizing his Cultivation, Lin Ye took out the Human Emperor Seal granted by the System.

A golden imperial seal appeared in Lin Ye’s hand.

The golden imperial seal was only palm-sized, made of an unknown material, and engraved with nine ferocious and lifelike True Dragons. One side of the seal was carved with mountains and plants, another with the sun, moon, and stars, another with rushing rivers, and the last side with the character “ Emperor” (Emperor).

The Human Emperor Seal, with its wondrous and true power, governs the great order, commands the ancestors of spirits and demons, and controls the core of evil monsters, all relying on the power of this seal.

It can make one invisible, scatter one’s shadow, conceal Qi, and collect Divine Soul, causing the Yin and Yang to change their form, making one invisible to both humans and ghosts.

The Human Emperor Seal represents the Human Race’s destiny and cannot be categorized by the Rank of Magic Treasure or Spiritual Artifact.

Just as Lin Ye was about to turn the Human Emperor Seal over to see what was engraved on the bottom, he suddenly noticed a golden mark left on his palm.

“Hmm?”

Lin Ye gently stroked the Human Emperor Seal with his other hand, and sure enough, a bit of gold appeared on his finger again.

“System! System!!!”

“What’s wrong, buddy? Can’t you be without me for a moment? Sigh… such a clingy Host~”

“Shut up! Don’t disgust me. I’m asking you, come on, tell me, why is this Human Emperor Seal peeling? Is it not a counterfeit product?”

“Counterfeit?! What a joke! This is… Hmm?”

Apparently, through Lin Ye’s vision, the System also saw the gold on his hand.

It spoke with a hint of guilt: “The Human Emperor Seal… *cough*! The Human Emperor Seal! Think about it, the Human Emperor Seal has existed since the ancient era. Countless eras have passed, and the Human Emperor held it through countless great battles!”

“So, isn’t it normal for the Human Emperor Seal to be a bit chipped?!”

“Can’t you feel the Emperor’s Qi on it?! And, what’s engraved at the very bottom, that’s the Human Emperor Scripture! I went through so much trouble to snatch… to get you such a good resource, and you don’t even thank me, but instead say I gave you a counterfeit product! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?!”

“…”

Bombarded by the System’s barrage.

Lin Ye was also a bit bewildered. Did he really misunderstand the System?

Thinking about how the Human Emperor indeed went through countless great battles with this Human Emperor Seal.

A little damage was within an acceptable range.

Lin Ye turned the imperial seal over and, sure enough, saw the Cultivation Technique engraved on it.

Buzz… A black Qi suddenly surged into Lin Ye’s Spiritual Platform.

Mysterious Cultivation Technique also appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Blood, flesh, withered bones, wails, scenes as if the world was ending, also began to constantly emerge.

After a while, Lin Ye gasped for breath and asked in confusion: “Is this the Human Emperor Scripture? What was inside…”

“That is the Human Emperor Scripture!!!”

The System quickly interrupted Lin Ye’s suspicion: “Think again, what did the Human Emperor rely on to unite the Human Race and go against the Heavenly Dao?! Was it to subdue people with virtue? Of course not! He relied on world-shaking killing methods! Only when you become a strong person will others reason with you!”

“In the ancient era, the Human Race was weak. If the Human Emperor hadn’t suppressed the world with his great methods, do you think the Human Race would have today’s prosperity?!”

“So, what’s wrong with the Human Emperor Scripture focusing on killing?!”

Lin Ye was utterly confused, but he inexplicably felt that the System was very right!

“I misunderstood you, System.”

“It’s good that you know. An apology is enough, we’re buddies! If I don’t help you, who will?!” the System said proudly.

“…”

Lin Ye didn’t continue speaking but immersed his mind and began to comprehend the Human Emperor Scripture.

The Human Emperor Scripture in his Divine Soul was divided into three chapters.

Fetal Movement, Golden Mean, and Great Harmony.

It was so simple and unadorned, yet it flowed with terrifying killing intent.

The Fetal Movement chapter was perfectly suited for building a Supreme Dao Foundation.

So Lin Ye directly began to Cultivate.

The method of operating the Human Emperor Scripture was extremely compatible with his Innate Dao Body. It truly deserved to be a System product.

Just as Lin Ye was Cultivating.

Something also happened in the main hall.

Several Disciples came in a hurry to report.

“Demon… No, Holy Lord, several Immortal Sect members are lingering near our Holy Land. From their appearance, it seems they are looking for someone.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord immediately became interested.

The location of his Supreme Bliss Holy Land was already known to countless major forces; they wouldn’t come here to ask for trouble.

Therefore, the Immortal Sect Disciples who came here must be from some minor forces unfamiliar with the Holy Land.

Recalling what Lin Ye had said earlier about those Immortal Sects intending to force him to join, the Holy Lord instantly had an idea.

“Bring them in and send them to the Holy Son Candidate.”

“Yes!”

The Disciples turned and left after receiving the order.

The Holy Lord sat in his chair, like an emperor lording over the world, a wise light flashing in his eyes: “This is still a Demonic Sect after all, Lin Ye. I want to see what you intend to do when you encounter these people.”

“If your Heart-Nature is unstable, then I will have to find a way to help you!”

…In a forest, several Cultivators, having killed the nearby Vicious Beasts, were talking breathlessly.

“This Lin Ye runs too fast! If it weren’t for the aura of his Dao Bone, where would we find him?!”

“This little bastard, toying with us like this, once we catch him, we will definitely make him spill all his secrets, and then he will die in the most painful way!”

“Are we going too deep into these Ten Thousand Mountains? It is said that there are forbidden zones and terrifying beings inside.”

“What’s there to fear! How would those terrifying beings pay attention to us ants! Just find Lin Ye and leave immediately.”
