Chapter 269
The rewards from this encounter are enough to finalize the Blood Seal's evolution of the Grand Yin-Yang Time Reversal Sword Art. Once it's complete, I'll need to settle on a new evolutionary goal. The Mistborn's undying nature is an enormous problem; by contrast, someone with an ordinary human physique like mine is simply too fragile, too lacking in endurance. I still need to evolve a special secret art to shore up my stamina and the survivability of those around me.
The unkillable Mistborn had caused Lin Hui considerable distress. Although he didn't yet know exactly why the Longevity Wheel had ultimately abandoned Tuyue, he couldn't pin his hopes on speculation until he confirmed whether the Star Breath Sword Canon was responsible. He had to prepare proactively.
During the war, Lin Hui had witnessed the Mist God's aura-stacking at firsthand—an absolute headache to deal with.
If I could create something like that for myself and the members of the Clear Wind Dao to use together...
And then there are arrays. Battlefield arrays offer too strong a protective layer for weaker allies; I must develop them going forward. If I could generate a localized field that absolutely suppresses anyone who enters—combined with a high-defense array capable of blocking both ranged and melee attacks...
Lin Hui recalled that in the mythological stories from his past life, there were always special domains: cursed lands, death lands, blessed lands. Areas that imposed powerful, indiscriminate effects on anyone who stepped inside.
He planned to see whether the Blood Seal could produce something of that nature.
As for everything else—he had already gathered the pulsation of destruction. All that remained now was to still his mind and carefully comprehend the Sacred Form. The next step, the pulsation of heaven, required governing the sky and atmosphere. He had absolutely no idea how to accomplish that, even on a small scale.
Setting these thoughts aside, Lin Hui stood, left instructions for Li Yuanyuan, and vanished from the Clear Wind Dao Academy, heading straight for the Third Mountain.
