Chapter 261: Ancient Movement



Shadows of death constantly collided with one another in his mind, producing dark emotions such as terror, despair and death.

Every shadow of death represented the scenes produced during the battle before his death, the different cultivators, different styles of Star-Gather, and the different feelings of death.

Everything was transformed into inner demon power and repeatedly battered his mind. It was easy to imagine how dangerous and terrifying the situation was.

Ordinary cultivators would have failed to withstand the impact and lost their minds long ago.

Although Lin Xun hadn’t fallen to that stage yet, his situation wasn’t particularly good and could even be described as precarious.

He seemed to be in a sea of blade and fire. He could only rely on the power of the Little Divine Meditation Art to expel any distracting thoughts and ensure inner demons wouldn’t corrode his mind.

However, his mind would collapse sooner or later if he continued to be stuck in such a situation. The inner demons would spread throughout his body and it would be impossible to reverse the situation then.

What should I do?

In Lin Xun’s mind-sea, stars were shining upon each other and keeping his consciousness as clear and calm as ice.

He could sense that his mind was on the verge of collapsing. Shadows of death were constantly accumulating, constantly growing stronger, and constantly erupting. They were about to break out of his mind.

If he wanted to change his situation, he had to expel and obliterate all the shadows of death!

“Star Gather…Star-Gather…”

Lin Xun silently thought about the mystery of the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art. He was already certain that he had to have a better grasp of Star-Gather than his opponents if he wanted to obliterate the inner demons!

This was because the inner demons were brought about by his death and his death was caused by Star-Gather. If he could have a better grasp of Star-Gather than his opponents, he would be able to smash each shadow of death and expel the feelings of terror, helplessness and despair. Only then could he eliminate the inner demons!

Soon, Lin Xun gave up on finding a solution from the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art because there were too many mysteries in the secret art and it depended heavily on his understanding and control.

If I can deal with each of the shadows of death one by one and obliterate them individually, perhaps I can solve the disaster. A thought struck Lin Xun and he fell into contemplation.

But this is very dangerous as the slightest mistake could cause the inner demons to completely corrode me and I would be doomed.

But if I don’t do this, it’s no different to doing nothing.

What to do?

For the first time in his life, Lin Xun was in a dilemma.

……

A treasured carriage took advantage of the dim light of night and arrived at Lin Xun’s residence. Liu Qingyan stepped off the carriage and asked curiously, “Does Master Xun and Young Master Lin Xun live here?”

“It’s hidden in the city. Master Xun is indeed not ordinary. But his apprentice is not a good person.”

Granny Feng respected Master Xun after she witnessed him forging a peerless treasure a few days ago.

Liu Qingyan smiled. “Granny, let’s go in. I also want to meet Master Xun.”

She walked towards the courtyard gate.

However, Granny Feng suddenly narrowed her eyes as she had sensed something. “Miss, wait a minute!”

With a swoosh, she was already standing in front of Liu Qingyan, “There is a murderous intent lingering in the courtyard. Something is wrong.”

Liu Qingyan froze.

It was then that Xue Jin appeared outside the courtyard. When he saw Granny Feng and a young woman, he couldn’t help but ask with a frown, “Crazy woman, it’s already so late, what are you doing here?”

Granny Feng snorted coldly. “You think I want to come here? Right, what’s the deal with the murderous aura in the courtyard. Are you fighting someone?“

Xue Jin shook his head but didn’t say anything.

Liu Qingyan couldn’t help asking, “Granny, you know this elder?”

Granny Feng nodded but did not explain Xue Jin’s identity to her. “Xue Jin, we are here tonight to visit Master Xun, please pass on...”

Xue Jin interrupted, “No, Master Xun is not free tonight.”

Granny Feng’s face darkened. Xue Jin is too rude! Just when she was about to say something, Liu Qingyan had already spoken first, “Elder, is Young Master Lin Xun here?”

“Crazy woman, is this girl Liu Qingyan?“

Granny Feng uttered coldly, “You don’t need to know. Just tell us if that little bastard Lin Xun is around.”

Xue Jin hesitated for a moment. He didn‘t want to continue the conversation with Granny Feng at such a time, but he knew that Granny Feng wouldn’t leave if he didn’t answer her.

Suddenly, a thought struck Xue Jin’s mind. “Come with me.”

He turned around and guided them into the courtyard.

Granny Feng and Liu Qingyan exchanged a glance with each other before they walked in. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they noticed Lin Xun meditating in a cross-legged position.

“Hey!”

Granny Feng narrowed her eyes. She sensed a raging murderous intent emanating from Lin Xun’s body. Something doesn’t seem right.

Liu Qingyan also seemed to notice something. Her bright eyes went wide with shock.

“Inner Demons?” asked Granny Feng.

Xue Jin nodded. “Something must have gone wrong while he was cultivating.” His voice was low and solemn.

Granny Feng intended to ridicule Lin Xun, but seeing Xue Jin’s expression, she immediately knew that the problem was extremely serious.

She restrained herself and said with a frown, “This boy is only at the Human Dipper Stage. He is not qualified to touch upon the profound meaning of the great dao between heaven and earth. Logically speaking, it’s almost impossible for inner demons to enter his body. Could there be a problem with the cultivation art he is practicing?”

Xue Jin invited Granny Feng into the courtyard because he wanted to see if she could help Lin Xun. His spirits were instantly lifted when he heard her response. “Crazy woman, you have a solution?”

Granny Feng stepped forward, carefully studied Lin Xun for a long while and in the end shook her head. “No, the inner demon is deep in this kid’s body. He is on the verge of collapsing. Even the king of life and death wouldn’t be able to do anything now.”

Xue Jin’s face clouded with disappointment. Then is this kid finished?

“Although one has to eliminate one’s inner demons oneself, it doesn\'t necessarily mean that we can’t help.” Liu Qingyan, who hadn’t said a word, suddenly spoke up. Her bright eyes sparkled with wisdom. She seemed to have thought of a solution.

“How do we help?” Xue Jin exclaimed.

Granny Feng’s expression changed. “Miss, given your current cultivation level, you definitely can’t use that secret technique!”

Xue Jin was even more certain that the beautiful maiden before him could indeed help Lin Xun!

“Granny, I want to try.”

Liu Qingyan bit her cherry-red lips. “If I don’t do anything, Young Master Lin Xun’s life will end.” Her sweet and clear voice filled with determination.

“Miss…”

Granny Feng cried out anxiously, but Xue Jin interrupted, “Crazy woman, how about letting the girl try?”

“What do you know?!” Granny Feng snapped. It seemed as though she would fight him with her life if he dared to say anything more.

However, Liu Qingyan seemed unusually calm. Her words and manner of speech inadvertently contained indescribable majesty and authority, “Granny, I will decide for myself. You don’t need to say anything else.”

Granny Feng’s expression suddenly changed. Only after a long moment did she sigh, “Fine, fine.”

Xue Jin breathed a sigh of relief, though he was utterly surprised that the problem that both he and Granny Feng found tricky wasn’t a problem to the maiden. This was too unbelievable.

From what Xue Jin knew, Liu Qingyan was ultimately just an art cultivator even if she was well-known throughout the world. She was likely at the Heaven Dipper stage and was still one step away from the Spirit Sea Stage.

Even so, she had a way to help Lin Xun. Who wouldn’t be surprised?

Liu Qingyan seated herself on a stone chair in the courtyard, brought out a jade-green flute, put it to her lips and gently blew into it.

An ethereal and mysterious flute sound filled the air like the ancient sounds from ancient times.

Instantly, Xue Jin noticed an indescribable power pervading the courtyard. It was like a lease of life urging the beautiful flowers to bloom. The blades of grass swayed in the night breeze as though cheering.

In the sky, silvery starlight floated down like mist and cloaked the courtyard. It was so ethereal that it felt like an illusion.

Xue Jin was dumbfounded. What kind of music is this?

He felt like his body had become transparent. A gentle power seemed to be caressing his mind, dispelling all distracting thoughts; it became clear and empty.

Granny Feng’s expression was extremely complicated as it alternated between nervousness, worry and distress...

The world seemed to have become completely still and silent. The flowers and plants were swaying gracefully in the courtyard and the stars were shining upon the world as the ethereal and melancholic flute sound filled the world.

The maiden on the stone chair was dressed in a plain white dress, her long lavender hair flowing down to her waist. Her bright eyes were calm and without a ripple of emotion as she sat there playing the jade-green bamboo flute. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

……

Lin Xun had finally decided to fight with his all!

He had no time to waste anymore. He had to fight.

In his mind, ice-calm consciousness began to spread, cautiously approaching the inner demons that were constantly clashing and growing stronger in his mind.

If he could isolate a shadow of death and eliminate it, it would be a success. If not, it meant...

His mind would completely collapse!

Therefore, Lin Xun didn’t dare to be careless.

However, before his consciousness neared the violent shadows of death, an indescribable ethereal force rushed into his mind.

That’s—?

His consciousness suddenly trembled. He was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat and almost lost control.

However, he was completely stunned the next moment. The shadows of death constantly colliding with one another went still and calm like dormant beasts. They had lost their intense violent tendencies.

Lin Xun realized that his opportunity had come!

Regardless of where the mysterious and ethereal power came from, Lin Xun wouldn’t miss such a rare chance

Shua!

A wisp of consciousness sped forward and enveloped a shadow of death!
