True Solution of the Sword Dao

Just by consuming energy, countless powerful armies of creatures could be created, each with diverse abilities. This had significant practical utility in the looming chaos era.

Previously, slaughtering the Monster Clan en masse to resurrect the Sword Canon’s energy was a matter of necessity. After all, in either the outer world or the Inner World, such an action would not only cause immense panic, but it was estimated that just preparing to act would provoke Divine Level beings to intervene. Now that the goal was achieved, such actions would no longer continue.

The appearance of Ning Que had given Lin Fei a measure of assurance in her strength. Even under the planet’s suppressive force, his strength was at most A-Level Peak, not much different from Lin Fei’s current level; but together, even Griffin would have some reservations.

Otherwise, without Ning Que’s presence, not to mention how powerful the combination of the Black Flame Demon Lord and Griffin would be in the Demon Realm, even Lin Fei’s personal safety might be compromised.

If Griffin were to covet the Gate of the Demon Realm, the outcome would be uncertain.

Despite claims that there were only two Prime Lord Level Demon Kings in the world, both Lin Fei and Griffin were not likely to easily pass up the opportunity to seize the golden period of dominance.

Although neither party intended to suppress the other, there was indeed a plan for mutual competition.

The red light within the array grew stronger.

The Blue Flame also intensified.

With a thunderous boom, a twisted shadow appeared in the middle of the array. A strange hissing sound emanated from the center of the array.

The surrounding Blue Flame immediately began to turn transparent.

Only then did Lin Fei clearly see what she had summoned.

It was a cylindrical mirror. The edges were flesh-like frames, and the center was a smooth and translucent mirror surface with no limbs or head—merely a mirror.

At the same time, information followed the summoning into Lin Fei’s mind.

"Mirror Demon, a specific species that refracts between planes, inherently fragile but gifted with the ability to concentrate light for attack and transmit images over long distances."

"Mirror Demon Lali Laran is at your service with utmost sincerity."

An ethereal voice reached Lin Fei’s ears. Although the other party was not speaking any language known on Earth, Lin Fei could understand it perfectly. It seemed to be a method of conveying messages through synchronized mental vibrations.

"Do you possess any special abilities?" Lin Fei asked, using her spiritual power to vibrate as well.

The mirror swayed, seemingly aware of its perilous situation. The restraining array around it was obviously not to be trifled with. It promptly replied with respect.

"Aside from our innate abilities, every one of us Mirror Demons has a unique ability that we have comprehended. My ability, Lali Laran, is enhancement concentration. I can concentrate any light and energy to an extremely high level."

Lin Fei nodded.

She stretched out her right hand and gently clenched it.

With a loud boom, the Mirror Demon Lali Laran shattered into countless fragments and vanished with a scream.

"Resummon," Lin Fei said lightly.

The array once again emitted waves of light.

Time passed by with each minute and second.

As Lin Fei summoned repeatedly, she soon exhausted the limit of five spells per day. However, none of the creatures summoned met her expectations.

This array could bring diversity to her troops and serve as a supplementary force to the Swordsman army. Moreover, many creatures with special abilities could also have a significant impact.

But Lin Fei did not give up.

For over a week, she had one of her splits manage the array at the Extinction Holy Hall, continuously summoning creatures, five times each day.

Another split began to abandon all Sword Canon techniques and sword moves to directly comprehend the advanced levels of Sword Intent.

So far, she had only created three splits. It was not that she didn’t want to create more but each time a split was made, a portion of her strength was divided. Moreover, the more splits there were, the greater the mental strain from the incoming information. With three splits, it meant that the messages received by all three had to converge into one stream of thought. In other words, she had to divide her attention into three. If there were more splits, the incoming information would be even greater.

She did not know how many splits Griffin and the others had, dealing with several times the information. But even at triple the amount, Lin Fei already felt overwhelmed. Even her body, strengthened by demonic power, felt exhausted in both mind and body.

On the ninth day of summoning,

finally, some species that met Lin Fei’s expectations appeared.

"Parasitic Grass species, innate ability to significantly enhance the host’s overall physical quality and comes with certain special abilities."

This was a plant that looked like serene water grass. It was a pale green color, with arm-wide leaves featuring fine lines.

However, Lin Fei saw the true nature of the newly summoned Parasitic Grass. Those fine lines were actually dense, numerous eyes that could open at any moment, emitting various rays to attack. If the attacked beings could not meet the Parasitic Grass’s parasitic requirements, they would be turned into its nourishment, automatically melting away. If the attacked beings were strong enough, the Parasitic Grass would willingly become an auxiliary tool for them.

That was the way this species survived: survival of the fittest.

They could ideally compensate for the Swordsman’s weakness in physical robustness trained through the Sword Canon. The combined combat power would be considerable.

Another species was the Tree of Destruction,

a strange tree capable of emitting extreme cold, with a trunk extremely tough and branches like spikes that could move to kill any creature daring to come close.

Its innate ability was the Domain of the Great Winter. It complemented Lin Fei’s Ice Crystal Demon Race perfectly. Besides, the tree’s physical combat ability was powerful, and it could release tiny plant spores that could enter creatures through the respiratory tract, turning them completely into an ice sculpture.

This creature was what Lin Fei planned to use for expanding her territory, highly suitable for quickly establishing a stronghold.

Both species were chosen by Lin Fei for the new trial spaces in the Extinction Holy Hall, with the newly acquired Space Evolution Degree from defeating Ning Que, and the remaining evolution degree, which was just enough to be used up.

The new trial locations were thus established,

Parasitic Space, and Winter Purgatory.

However, what was special was that the Tree of Destruction could fuse with a creature’s Life Soul to form an ability that could display Life Energy regardless of distance,

Lin Fei called this the Life Flame. It could be used to keep life imprints and to display the living status of high-level powerhouses, among other things.

All of this was in preparation for the seal that was about to be opened.

********************

New Zealand, Auckland

In a dense forest dozens of kilometers away from Lone Tree Mountain.

Among the trees, Lin You and his companions were carefully drawing variously colored lines on the uneven ground.

Many such lines were already on the ground, most of which had gradually formed a shape, looking somewhat like a rectangle. In the center of these lines, there sat a small earthenware jar that looked ancient, seemingly not a product of contemporary times.

About half an hour later.

Merrill straightened up and said, "Finally finished. That old guy’s stuff required such complex preparation work. It’s exhausting!"

A pendant in the small bag at Lin You’s waist retorted.

"You can’t handle this much preparation work? Sometimes, we mages need to prepare days or even months in advance for casting spells."

"As expected, mages are all freaks!" Merrill stated decisively.

She clapped her hands and said, "All right, everyone come over, we’re about to start the unsealing."

Chris, Feil, and Cheng Guang spread out to stand around the array.

Lin You alone stood in the center, holding the pendant in his hand.

"Are you ready?" the pendant asked.

"Yeah." Lin You nodded firmly.

"Here we go!"

As the words fell, a flash of white light appeared, and the array suddenly emitted countless fine wisps of white smoke.

At the same time, a marvelous change began to transform the entire world instantly.

*************

In a far-off, unknown space.

Heretic, Red Lotus Shrine

"Holy Spirit’s Blood... is it starting again?" In the vast hall, a deep voice slowly rose.

*************

Inner World

Holy See territory, Sacred Castle

A figure in white robes, crowned with a platinum tiara, sat silently on the highest balcony of the castle. He held a tall white staff in his hand, and around him spread a gentle white light that obscured his face.

"The Holy Spirit’s Blood has begun to unlock the seal again. After tens of thousands of years, it’s finally starting once more." The figure lifted his eyes to gaze into the distance, lost in thought.

*************

Inner World

Temple of the Gods area, Divine Throne Hall

"The time of the Empress has come."

An icy voice conveyed this message.

"It’s a pity she didn’t wait for the final opportunity," another gentle voice replied.

"Temple of the Gods, where the gods reside, Red Lotus left, Holy Light left, Arcane Law left, and now the Empress has fallen. The so-called gods are now merely you and me. It’s laughable," the icy voice mocked. "We might as well disband. The Temple of the Gods’ restraint over other forces is far less than before. What’s the use of keeping it around?"

"Let’s wait for the outcome of this time. There might still be a chance," the gentle voice spoke calmly. "By the way, the legendary Monster Clan has appeared, how do you plan to handle them?"

"And what of it? The Monster Clan just has a higher starting point than other races; it’s not important for those of us who are close to the end," the icy voice replied indifferently.

"True. These concerns are for Red Lotus and the others to deal with. We should focus on the final opportunity; this time, we can’t afford to miss it no matter what!"

The two voices fell silent once more.

*************

Extinction Holy Hall

Lin Fei sat silently in a high place, gazing intently at the circular screen in the great hall.

The scene displayed was exactly that of Lin You and the others opening the seal.

It was through the Crystal Ring that he had located the transmission of this image.

From that moment, the Holy Spirit’s Blood began to serve as the key. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The lifting of the seal would trigger a massive chain reaction, much like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings.

"But this is also good; at least the Holy Spirit’s Blood has successfully activated the key to the seal. What comes next will be far less important. As long as one seal is unlocked, the subsequent chain reactions will have nothing to do with the Holy Spirit’s Blood anymore."

What followed was being cautious of forces that might have insight into Lin You’s unique constitution.

Lin Fei felt increasingly that he was approaching the moment from his previous life.

It seemed that due to the changes and butterfly effects in this life, the process had altered somewhat. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
