73: Lin Tian's ambition

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Jing said softly, "I told the Sect Master about you defeating a Martial Spirit Realm Expert. It so happened that a Secret Realm appeared within the territory of the Nine Ghosts Sect, which seems to be the tomb of a Martial King expert. So the Sect Master wants to invite you back to help."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Will the Disciple still be the one to explore this time?"

Lin Jing shook her head slightly: "This tomb is very important. Legend has it that there are secret treasures that can help Martial Artists Break through to the Martial King Realm, and all Sects will compete for it with all their might. The Sect Master will personally lead six Peak Masters, excluding Lin Qingzhu, to go."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "So that's how it is. Lingxiao Sect has shown me the grace of nurturing, and I will help the Sect Master obtain this secret treasure. Let's return to Lingxiao Sect together!"

Hearing this, Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't sure if Lu Xingchen would be willing to help Lingxiao Sect.

But now it seems that he is quite loyal.

"Okay, let's go back together!"

Lu Xingchen asked, "Did you tell anyone else about me slaying a Martial Spirit Realm Expert?"

Lin Jing hurriedly shook her head: "Absolutely not."

Lu Xingchen was lost in thought.

It seems Lin Tian wants to use him as a trump card.

This trip to the tomb will probably not be that simple.

But it doesn't matter, only eight Third-Grade Sects should enter this tomb, and with his combat strength comparable to a Martial Spirit, it is enough to suppress everything.

Lu Xingchen and Lin Jing rode Xiao You back to Lingxiao Sect.

On Xiao You's back, Lu Xingchen studied the Fourth-Grade Pill Formula that Sun Jie had lent him.

beast power pill: After consumption, it can stimulate the body's potential and greatly enhance the Physical Body's strength, but it will enter a weakened state after one hour.

Although it has side effects, it can be considered a trump card for saving one's life.

Lu Xingchen immediately took out the green stone cauldron and refined five beast power pill for emergencies.

After a day and a night, the two finally returned to Lingxiao Sect.

When the Disciples at the Mountain Gate saw the Nether Dragon soaring in the sky, they were all shocked and envious.

"Look, that's a Dragon! A Dragon Clan Demonic Beast!"

"I remember Senior Brother Lu Xingchen has a Dragon Clan Demonic Beast. Could it be that Senior Brother Lu is back?"

"I think it's most likely. It's rare for a second giant Dragon to appear in Lingxiao Sect."

"Senior Brother Lu is a legend of Lingxiao Sect! He led six Chief Disciples to wipe out the Five Elements Sect Disciples in the Chuyuan Secret Realm. It was so satisfying!"

Xiao You stopped at the Mountain Gate, and Lu Xingchen and Lin Jing jumped down, walking towards the Mountain Gate.

The Lingxiao Sect Disciples near the Mountain Gate gathered around, surrounding Lu Xingchen and Lin Jing, but they did not approach within three meters of the two.

Cheers of "Senior Brother Lu" rang out continuously.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said loudly, "Hello, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters!"

As Lu Xingchen's words fell, these Disciples became even more fanatical, with greetings rising and falling.

Lin Jing said softly, "Don't mind them. Lu Xingchen, the Sect Master instructed me that once you return to Lingxiao Sect, I am to immediately take you to see him. He wants to discuss the exploration of the Secret Realm with you."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "Understood, let's go!"

The two walked together towards Sect Master Peak. Half an hour later, Lu Xingchen knocked on Lin Tian's door.

A few minutes later, Lin Tian opened the door.

As soon as he saw Lu Xingchen, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Lu Xingchen, on the other hand, was slightly surprised.

Because above Lin Tian's head were the four large characters: "One-Star Martial Spirit."

He had been in seclusion for so long, and he had finally stepped into the Realm of Martial Spirit!

With Lin Tian in charge, it was only a matter of time before Lingxiao Sect became a Fourth-Grade Sect.

"Lu Xingchen, you're finally back! Please come in, please come in!"

Lu Xingchen followed Lin Tian into the room.

Lin Jing, being sensible, turned and left.

Lin Tian poured Lu Xingchen a cup of hot tea, then said in a deep voice, "Lu Xingchen, we are all our own people, so I'll get straight to the point."

Lu Xingchen took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Sect Master, please speak."

"What is your current Realm?"

"Six-Star Grand Martial Master."

Hearing this, Lin Tian gasped.

"I remember when you left Lingxiao Sect half a year ago, you were only at the Martial Master Realm. To be able to advance six minor Realms in such a short time, you are indeed a prodigy!"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly: "Just luck."

Lin Tian continued, "But that's not the most important thing. Lin Jing said that you defeated a Two-Star Martial Spirit from Tianhui Kingdom. Is this true? Did you rely on your own strength or did someone help you?"

"Although it might be a bit offensive, this matter is very important to Lingxiao Sect. I need to confirm your strength before I can arrange the upcoming Secret Realm trip."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Although I launched a sneak attack first, I indeed used my own strength."

Lin Tian said in a deep voice, "I need proof."

Lu Xingchen put down his teacup and immediately activated his battle Qi, unleashing the "Heaven Swallowing Art."

His Aura surged, quickly reaching the Peak of Great Martial Master, only a step away from Martial Spirit.

Then he struck a palm towards Lin Tian.

With this palm, Lu Xingchen used all his strength.

Because he wanted to prove himself to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was a One-Star Martial Spirit after all, so taking a palm from him wouldn't be a problem.

Feeling the powerful battle Qi in Lu Xingchen's palm, Lin Tian did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated his battle Qi and met the palm.

Neither of them used Martial Skills; this was purely a competition of battle Qi intensity.

Lu Xingchen stood motionless.

Lin Tian, on the other hand, was sent back several steps, slamming hard against the wall.

After steadying himself, Lin Tian looked at his palm, then at Lu Xingchen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How can this be? So strong!"

Lu Xingchen reined in his battle Qi and said with a smile, "Sect Master, can we talk about the Secret Realm now?"

Lin Tian took a deep breath and sat back in his chair.

"Lu Xingchen, your strength is now above mine. I can no longer command you. But out of gratitude for the teaching, I hope you can accompany us into the Secret Realm."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, you overstate. A teacher for a day is a father for life. I will never forget the kindness Lingxiao Sect has shown me. I will definitely help with this!"

"However, since the Sect Master has already advanced to Martial Spirit, dealing with the other Sects should be easy, right? I probably won't need to act."

Lin Tian said in a deep voice, "My ambition is great. I haven't told anyone about my advancement to Martial Spirit, because I want to completely eliminate the Blood Robe Sect, Heavenly Demon Sect, and Nine Ghosts Sect—these three tumors—in this Secret Realm."

"If there's a chance, I'll deal with the Five Elements Sect as well. But the Five Elements Sect is, after all, a Sect recognized by the Righteous Path Alliance. If Gu Yuan doesn't actively provoke me, I won't touch him."

"I have already reached an agreement with the Sect Masters of Nine Heavens Sect and Tianyan Sect. In that Secret Realm, our three Sects will join forces against the enemy and completely destroy the Three Heretical Sects!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was also somewhat surprised.

"Sect Master, your appetite is truly not small!"
