29: The Second Destiny Child

Boom!

The moment Lin Ye stepped out of the secret door, he took off the bronze coffin from his back.

He directly smashed it towards the Buddha statue.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Buddha statue directly collapsed.

Not even a speck of dust adhered to the bronze coffin.

Lin Ye calmly put the bronze coffin back on his back and softly said to the Buddha statue, "I said I'd smash you, and I will smash you. I told you to look at me!"

After leaving these words, Lin Ye turned and walked outside.

Inside the dilapidated temple, the shattered Buddha statue emitted a faint glow, a bizarre scene no one witnessed... Lin Ye, having left the barren mountain, found a nearby small city to settle down.

After all, this is a Cultivator's world; every city has designated resting places specifically for Cultivators, and even Cultivation rooms.

After paying a few Spirit Stones, Lin Ye entered the Cultivation room and began to examine the One Page Scripture in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Buddhist scripture glittered with golden light and exuded an ethereal aura.

As he lightly touched the scripture with his consciousness, waves of Buddha's Voice surged into his mind.

One Page Scripture... This was the name of the scripture, yet despite its solemn and revered appearance, the text within was overly "heretical."

Far from encouraging people towards goodness, it was practically an evil scripture designed to turn everyone into Puppets.

Such a scripture would likely only be treasured by demonic Cultivators.

Lin Ye wanted to destroy the scripture but discovered that when it was anchored in his spiritual platform, it helped him maintain a clear mind.

In other words, this scripture was a Magic Treasure in itself.

If there were any Magic Treasures or Cultivation Techniques specifically targeting the Divine Soul, this scripture could definitely block them.

With this discovery, Lin Ye lost the idea of destroying it. He figured he simply wouldn't use the text on it.

Now, the Human Emperor Seal was anchored in his Qi Sea, the One Page Scripture in his spiritual platform, and the bronze coffin protected his physique.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had achieved a state of 'three flowers gathering at the Peak.'

He truly had no blind spots from head to toe.

Next was the string of red prayer beads. Lin Ye had already tried to infuse spiritual power into them, but the eighteen Small Worlds remained sealed.

His Realm was definitely not high enough to break through the illusion.

He still needed to quickly strengthen himself... With this thought, Lin Ye took out the Spirit Stones from his qiankun ring and used them to Cultivate.

He was already at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and as he Cultivated with Spirit Stones, the cloud pattern on his chest subtly lit up, and the crimson prayer beads also emitted wisps of bloody Qi, enveloping his body.

He didn't know how long he Cultivated, but when Lin Ye opened his eyes, he had inexplicably advanced two minor Realms, directly reaching the Golden Core Peak.

To break through a Realm, simply meditating was useless.

The woman who came to rescue Zi Yuan in the eerie tomb earlier had greatly interested Lin Ye. In a hurried exchange, their single move was evenly matched.

But don't forget, Lin Ye was in his true form, while the woman was an illusion.

Zi Yuan called that woman 'sister,' meaning she was of the younger generation.

If the younger generation already possessed such strength, Lin Ye needed to quickly strengthen himself to secure the position of Saint.

The reason he desired this so-called Saint position was because only by becoming a Saint would he have a continuous supply of resources for Cultivation.

The "old grandmother" in the ring had said that someone in the depths of the Universe was constantly watching him.

Now it seemed his father's journey to find his mother would certainly not be smooth.

To uncover the truth of everything, he needed strength!

Lin Ye used to always think he possessed the destiny of a Son of Destiny, and by simply following the path, he would one day attain the Great Dao.

Now it seemed... "Sigh..."

Lin Ye sighed softly. He hadn't forgotten what he was bound to.

The Villain System.

What was its main objective?

Of course, it was to devour various Son of Destiny!

He wasn't the only Son of Destiny in this world.

One must know that when Lin Ye read those novels on Blue Star, none of the Son of Destiny in them were anything but outrageous, growing stronger as easily as drinking water.

This sense of crisis prevented Lin Ye from stopping for a moment; his mindset was gradually changing... As Lin Ye walked out of the Cultivation room, he suddenly saw a group of Cultivators rushing out of the city. Intrigued, he pulled over a Cultivator and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, where are you all rushing to in such a hurry?"

"You..."

The Cultivator was initially furious at being suddenly grabbed, but then he saw Lin Ye's attire.

Crimson robes like blood, a bronze coffin on his back, and prayer beads emanating resentment on his hand.

This attire suggested either a demonic Cultivator or a psychopath.

In any case, he was definitely someone not to be trifled with.

The Cultivator's eyes instantly changed from anger to clarity: "The beast tide is here! The Ten Thousand Mountains have begun to riot for some unknown reason."

"Beast tide..."

Lin Ye had naturally heard about beast tides during his time in Yu City.

Vicious Beasts usually wouldn't leave the Ten Thousand Mountains, but that was under normal circumstances. Once they rioted, they would desperately charge outwards.

Any cities, buildings, or living beings in their path would be annihilated by the unending beast tide.

He hadn't expected to encounter one.

Was this a bit too coincidental?

Was this the treatment of a Son of Destiny? A trouble magnet, wherever he went, things exploded!

His destiny had two traits: a difficult and tumultuous fate!

Seeing Lin Ye remain silent, the Cultivator quietly slipped away. He would rather face the beast tide than this person radiating evil Qi.

Ding-dong... Discovered a Son of Destiny...

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye was still pondering when the System's prompt suddenly sounded.

Especially what the System said.

Son of Destiny?

Had he encountered the first person with the same destiny as him?

He absolutely had to go and see!

"System, where is the newly appeared Son of Destiny?"

"Southwest direction, three li away..."

Lin Ye looked out, and in the southwest direction, the sky had completely darkened. Layers of tribulation clouds covered the sky, occasionally unleashing thunderous lightning, as if the world was ending.

That was the direction of the beast tide.

In other words, that Son of Destiny was going to profit from the beast tide?

That wouldn't do!

Since they were both Son of Destiny, any benefits had to include him!

Thinking this, Lin Ye transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the southwest wind...

At this moment, outside the city gate.

Dark clouds rolled, and darkness enveloped everything.

The Vicious Beasts surged like a tide, their figures appearing exceptionally ferocious under the moonlight.

On the city walls, the Cultivators gripped their Magic Treasures nervously, their gaze fixed on the approaching threat.

They weren't there to protect the city; they merely wanted to see if they could gain any benefits from the beast tide.

The Vicious Beasts let out deafening roars, their footsteps making the earth tremble. Some monsters were massive, like small mountains, wielding thick arms, destroying everything in their path.
