Lin Yi's mind stirred slightly, and he quickly figured out the effects of the Deathly Nether Fruit.
This spiritual fruit, born in a place where death energy gathers, is of great help to those who have reached the peak of the Life Profound Realm when breaking through to the Death Profound Realm.
As Lin Yi checked the effects of the Deathly Silence Fruit through the system, Ying Xuanzi also rose from his seat on the high platform and announced the end of this year's palace examination.
The grand palace examination, which had caused a sensation throughout the entire Dao Sect, has now come to an end.
"Lin Yi, come with me."
Upon hearing Ying Xuanzi's voice, Lin Yi immediately followed without hesitation.
Soon, everyone on the mountaintop dispersed.
The events that unfolded during the palace examination spread rapidly throughout the entire Dao Sect, further enhancing Lin Yi's reputation within the sect. In fact, Lin Yi even showed signs of surpassing veteran disciples like Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan.
Lin Yi followed Ying Xuanzi to his residence. Ying Xuanzi first praised Lin Yi, and then took out three treasures for Lin Yi to choose from.
Guided by the stone talisman, Lin Yi ultimately chose the Stillness Token, which had the ability to freeze time and space.
Lin Yi was extremely envious of such formidable abilities.
After the selection of treasures was completed, Ying Xuanzi mentioned the sect competition to Lin Yi, mainly asking Lin Yi to pay attention to the Yuanmen disciples at that time.
"Sect Leader, how much time is left until the Sect Competition?" Lin Yi asked after Ying Xuanzi finished his introduction.
Ying Xuanzi said, "There are still more than half a year until the sect competition. During this time, you should focus on your cultivation. The sect competition does not require you to have outstanding achievements. Just do your best to protect the other disciples."
"I understand," Lin Yi nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
"Alright, you can go back now," Ying Xuanzi said, waving his hand after giving his instructions.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi bowed to Xuanzi and then turned and left.
Ying Xuanzi watched the departing young figure, his hand gently stroking the table. In Lin Yi, he seemed to see the shadow of Zhou Tong.
I wonder if this sect competition will be somewhat different because of Lin Yi's appearance.
Chapter 246 Little Mink Asks for Help, Accompanied by a Beauty! [Please Read On]
After returning to the Desolate Palace, Lin Yi refined and mastered the Stillness Token, and then threw himself back into cultivation.
On the third day after the palace examination ended, Lin Yi was cultivating when a subtle fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body.
Then, a golden light suddenly flew out from his body, and finally spread in front of him, turning into a golden phantom.
"Little Mink," Lin Yi's brows twitched slightly when he saw the golden phantom.
"Hey, how's life at the Dao Sect? You haven't been bullied, have you?"
The little sable's figure was quite blurry, but his handsome, almost demonic face stared at Lin Yi with a playful expression, and his familiar voice also rang out.
"Who dares to bully me?" Lin Yi smiled faintly, then said, "You've been silent for so long, and now you're suddenly contacting me, there must be something you need, right?"
Little Mink chuckled, but a shadow immediately crossed his handsome face as he said, "Little Flame has been injured..."
Soon, Xiao Diao explained why he had contacted Lin Yi.
During his training, Xiao Yan discovered some valuable items, but he was injured by the powerful guards stationed there, and even Xiao Diao was no match for them.
Subsequently, Xiao Diao encouraged Lin Yi to bring along the Pure Yuan Treasure, the Heavenly Phoenix Zither, from the Dao Sect's Heavenly Palace.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then decided to invite Ying Huanhuan along.
Although with his current strength he should be able to deal with the guy who injured Xiao Yan on his own, taking Ying Huanhuan along would be like taking a trip with a beauty. In addition, he could share some of the Earth Core Divine Saliva with Ying Huanhuan to help her improve her strength.
With this in mind, Lin Yi went to the Heavenly Palace early the next morning and found Ying Huanhuan.
Ying Huanhuan deliberately kept a straight face, glanced at Lin Yi with her big eyes, and said indifferently, "What? The busy man has finally finished his work?"
Lin Yi coughed lightly and said, "I spent a lot of time and effort refining the spiritual treasure bestowed upon me by the sect leader, otherwise I would have come to find you long ago."
Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, "As if anyone cares if you come to see me? There are plenty of people who want to see me, it's not like I need you."
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister Huanhuan is loved by everyone and flowers bloom for her," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"You smooth talker, just tell me what you want from me."
Ying Huanhuan blushed slightly, especially when she saw that many disciples of the Heavenly Palace were looking at them. She felt even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "My two brothers called me out, saying they've encountered something good, but it's guarded by a powerful demonic beast, and they need some help."
"You're so capable, do you still need my help?" Ying Huanhuan blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked.
Lin Yi said in a low voice, "According to my brother, we need to use the Heavenly Phoenix Zither from the Heavenly Palace. You are quite skilled in sonic techniques. I was thinking of asking you to take the Heavenly Phoenix Zither with me on this treasure hunt. I'll share some with you then, how about that?"
"Tell me what this is first, and I'll see if it's worth the investment," Ying Huanhuan said, her eyes darting around. "The Heavenly Phoenix Harp is a treasure of the Heavenly Palace. Sometimes, even if the elders of the sect want to borrow it, Uncle Qi Lei won't allow it."
“He didn’t say,” Lin Yi shrugged, then said, “If I can’t borrow it, then I’ll take my leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi made a move to leave.
"Hey, what's the rush? I didn't say I wouldn't help you, can't you have a little patience?" Ying Huanhuan stood in front of Lin Yi and muttered.
"Didn't you say that Uncle Qi Lei refused to lend the Heavenly Phoenix Zither?" Lin Yi shrugged and said.
Ying Huanhuan's dark eyes darted around, then she waved to Lin Yi, "Come with me."
After saying that, she turned and floated away like a butterfly, and Lin Yi quickly followed.
The two quickly traversed the vast Heavenly Palace. After more than ten minutes, they had clearly entered the depths of the Heavenly Palace. The defenses here were extremely tight, but with Ying Huanhuan leading the way, the two did not encounter any obstacles.
Ying Huanhuan led Lin Yi directly to the main hall where the Heavenly Phoenix Zither was kept. Then, she secretly took the Heavenly Phoenix Zither and left the Heavenly Hall with Lin Yi.
Outside the Dao Sect's outer domain, at the edge of the protective array's light barrier, a sudden fluctuation came from, and then two figures sneakily darted out from within.
"Hehe, I didn't even get caught..." Ying Huanhuan hugged the fiery red Heavenly Phoenix Harp, her big eyes looking at the quiet surroundings with surprise, and said with a smile.
Lin Yi understood that it wasn't that they hadn't been discovered; it was just that Ying Xuanzi and Qi Lei had tacitly allowed them to borrow the zither.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yi turned around, faced the direction of the Dao Sect, and bowed respectfully.
Seeing his actions, Ying Huanhuan was first stunned, then stuck out her tongue, seemingly understanding what was going on.
After bowing, Lin Yi turned around, and his body trembled slightly. The pair of Azure Dragon Wings stretched out from his back, and with a flap of the wings, a gale followed.
"Come here," Lin Yi said, looking at Ying Huanhuan and stretching out his arms.
"What are you doing?" Ying Huanhuan, holding the Heavenly Phoenix Harp, walked over with some confusion. Then, her big eyes widened in alarm as she saw Lin Yi stretch out his arms and pull her slender waist into his embrace.
Ying Huanhuan seemed startled by Lin Yi's actions. It wasn't until the man's aura rushed towards her that she came to her senses. She then hurriedly used the Heavenly Phoenix Zither to shield herself, staring at Lin Yi with her face burning hot.
"I'm faster. Dao Sect is quite a distance from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range..." Lin Yi explained, looking at the blushing girl.
"If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll take the Heavenly Phoenix Zither back to the Dao Sect," Ying Huanhuan muttered under her breath, staring into Lin Yi's eyes for a while.
"Don't worry," Lin Yi smiled slightly, pulled her into his arms, and with a flap of the Azure Dragon Wings on his back, he transformed into a streak of light and shot out.
……
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is located in the southwestern region of the Eastern Xuan Domain, quite a distance from the Dao Sect.
However, Lin Yi is now a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm, and his speed is much faster than before. Therefore, in just three days, the vast mountain range on the map appeared at the end of the horizon.
As Lin Yi gradually approached the massive Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, he could also feel that the demonic spirit imprint left by Little Marten in his body began to emit subtle vibrations.
"Shh!"
Lin Yi sensed the direction from which the demonic spirit imprint within his body was emanating. Then, with a flap of his dragon wings, he soared across the sky. Several minutes later, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally, on a distant mountain peak, he saw two figures he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Big brother!"
Before Lin Yi's figure could land on the mountain peak, one of the figures, as burly as an iron tower, stood up impatiently, his powerful voice carrying like muffled thunder from afar.
Lin Yi carried Ying Huanhuan to the top of the mountain, then released her and looked ahead. There, two familiar figures stood, Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan, whom he had been separated from for a long time.
Lin Yi discovered that Xiao Yan's current aura was comparable to that of an expert at the Eighth Nirvana Realm, while Xiao Diao had even recovered to the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm.
"Your strength has increased rather dramatically..." Little Mink glanced at Lin Yi, raised an eyebrow, and said with some surprise.
"It's alright," Lin Yi said with a slight smile.
After catching up, the two got down to business. Upon learning that Xiao Yan had discovered the Earth Core Divine Saliva, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Lin Yi had anticipated this, and feigned ignorance, asking, "What is guarding that Earth Core Divine Saliva?"
Chapter 247 Demon Sound Mountain, Owl Sound Array! [Please continue reading]
"In this area of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, there is a hegemon guarding it. That guy is also a demon beast. His true form is a golden ghost owl. His strength is at the minor completion stage of the Life Profound Realm. Under his command, there are also some demon beasts gathered. The two strongest generals are about at the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm," Little Marten said, stroking his chin.
"Didn't you already recover to the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm? How come you can't deal with that guy?" Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and asked.
Little Mink said helplessly, "That guy has some special methods..."
"Human-headed owl... is it the Owl Sound Array? No wonder you needed to borrow the Heavenly Phoenix Zither," Ying Huanhuan, who was standing to the side, suddenly said softly, her eyes darting around.
Xiao Diao looked at Ying Huanhuan with some surprise, clearly not expecting this girl to be so clever. Just hearing the words "human head owl" was enough for her to guess everything.
“Yes, that Golden Ghost Owl spent a lot of effort to cultivate 100,000 human-headed owl beasts. These owl beasts are extremely good at sonic attacks. Combined with the terrain of the Demon Sound Mountain, they form the Heavenly Sound Array, also known as the Owl Sound Array. The power is extremely strong. Even I can't get through it,” Little Marten nodded and said.
"Xiao Yan originally cultivated in this mountain range. A few days ago, the Owl Sound Array was just lifted, and he accidentally stumbled in and eventually discovered the Earth Core Divine Saliva hidden in the Demon Sound Mountain."
"But later this guy was also discovered by the Golden Ghost Owl. That bastard was pretty ruthless. He brought more than ten of his men and played with this stupid tiger for a while. In the end, he even broke more than ten bones. If I hadn't arrived in time, this stupid tiger would have been roasted."
Xiao Yan scratched his head and gave Lin Yi a simple and honest smile, but this time, Lin Yi sensed a fierce glint deep in his eyes.
"How do we do it?" Little Mink asked Lin Yi.
"What do you mean, how do we do it?" Lin Yi's eyes flashed with cold light as he said calmly, "To massacre Demon Sound Mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying and malevolent aura erupted from Lin Yi's body, a malevolent aura that was far stronger than that of Wang Yan.
"That's exactly what I was waiting for!" Little Mink's lips curled into a smile, and his handsome face instantly became brimming with a bewitching aura.
Beside him, Xiao Yan nodded with a simple smile, but his towering body was now filled with a fierce aura that made people tremble with fear.
Looking at the three people in front of her, Ying Huanhuan thought to herself that they were indeed brothers, their fierce auras were exactly the same.
"Leave the Owl Sound Array to me."
Ying Huanhuan lightly waved her jade hand, and the fiery red Heavenly Phoenix Zither appeared in her hand. An amazing wave emanated from it, and even Xiao Diao couldn't help but cast his gaze over. At this moment, the girl stroked the strings with her jade hand, raised her head, and smiled at Lin Yi.
"Let's go, let's head to Demon Sound Mountain," Lin Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Little Marten and said.
