Chapter 969 Spirit Source

Lin Xun couldn’t help reddening with shame. It indeed didn’t seem right that he allowed a dumb bear to slip away. 

However, after thinking about it more, Lin Xun had a feeling that was beyond words.

The giant silvery white bear seemed nothing special, yet it made Lin Xun feel a tingle of danger in the depths of his heart.

It was as if terrifying power was lying dormant within the bear’s body, and once it erupted, it would unleash unimaginable destructive power.

How bizarre!

Lin Xun fiercely shook his head to stop thinking about it. 

The group continued onwards, and the atmosphere grew increasingly deathly still and silent, while the sky became stippled with glittering silvery stars. 

Chi!

Before long, another ferocious beast charged out. It was a huge tarantula with a crystal-clear body that was suffused with silvery light. It stood over ten feet tall and had limbs that were thick and sharp as blades. 

It was very powerful, exuding a foul and evil-foreboding air. As it moved through the sky, it thrust its long and thick legs out straight like sparkling blades dancing in the air, tearing cracks into the void. 

A battle broke out without any surprise. Lin Xun rushed forward to face it head-on. To his shock, he struggled to break the silver tarantula’s defense with just his fists and kicks!

Moreover, its limbs were bright and silvery white like blades, almost impenetrable, and contained terrifying destructive power.  

Lin Xun reckoned that, in terms of combat strength alone, the silver tarantula was not inferior to any of the peerless geniuses in the world!

This was unbelievable, but it proved that this area was very mysterious and unusual.

In the end, Lin Xun had to summon the Broken Blade before he could slaughter the silver tarantula.  

He put away its corpse for later, but it was not over yet. They continued to encounter fierce beasts rushing out from time to time, including silver tigers, vipers, and mountain rhinos.

These beasts clearly did not belong to the Ancient Wasteland Domain and should be starry sky beasts. Every beast they encountered was stronger than the previous, and the weakest one was still stronger than the top Cyclic Derivation experts in the world!

The thousand-foot-long viper that Lin Xun ran into was no doubt at the level of a half-step king. In its fit of anger, the wind raged, clouds scudded across the sky, and the earth seemed to be splitting apart. 

It also took Lin Xun a lot of effort to defeat and kill them.

Several hours later, Lin Xun had slaughtered over a dozen of the starry-sky-beast-like creatures, but to his puzzlement, he never met another that brought him a feeling of danger as the giant silvery white bear did.

Finally, Lin Xun and the others spotted the mystical silver lake that the Lightning Wing Clan teenager mentioned. 

It was indeed a miraculous lake, surrounded by islands and reefs, and the lake water glowed a sacred silvery hue.

It was so dreamy and magnificent that it looked like a lake of starlight. 

It is indeed unusual! 

“Didn’t that guy say that beneath this lake lies an unrivaled Star Debris Meteorite that is the size of a little mountain? I wonder if that’s true or not.” Kou Xing’s eyes blazed as he peered into the bottom of the lake. 

“Everyone, be careful, many cultivators are hiding around here.” Lin Xun instantly captured the presence of many powerful auras hiding on the nearby islands and reefs with his spirit sense. 

But to his surprise, quite a few were half-step kings, and there were very few experts at the Cyclic Derivation Stage in comparison. 

However, it made sense. Ordinary people could not possibly reach this far. If Lin Xun was not watching over the operation, then Kou Xing and the others would not have been able to come here.

“Strange, since those guys have already come, why is there no one taking action?” Kou Xing and the others looked perplexed. 

“It’s very simple, they are all waiting for the best time. No one wants to be the first to throw away their lives.” Miss Le’s beautiful eyes sparkled with intelligence and wisdom. “This suggests that there is great danger within the silver lake since even those half-step kings are so cautious to take action.”

“Ignore them, you guys stay here and I will set up a large formation to protect you all. I will go and investigate the lake myself,” Lin Xun suddenly said aloud as an imperceptible strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

This was because Little Silver, who had been imprisoned in the Mind-Sea to reflect, was bubbling over with excitement, which was very abnormal!

“Won’t it be too dangerous?” Miss Le sounded a little worried. “Don\'t forget that many ruthless characters are hiding around here. Even if you manage to find something at the bottom of the lake, when you return, you will be targeted by them!”

She wanted to remind Lin Xun not to be so focused on the gains ahead that he forgot the dangers behind them. 

“I understand, even if I encounter danger, don’t I still have a trick up my sleeve?” Lin Xun said with a smile. As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and bronze flags shot out one after another, inserting into the void.

In the blink of an eye, the Four Divisions King Array had been set up.

At the same time, Lin Xun handed the formation plate and a storage bag filled with high-grade aeth essence to Miss Le. Those were the key to activating the array.

If they encountered danger, they only needed to manipulate the formation plate and feed it with aeth essence to activate the forbidden array.

“Now I can’t wait for some ignorant guys to come over to die. If they do, I can collect some loot. After all, those guys must have found a lot of Star Debris Meteorites while here,” Miss Le said with a smile.

Kou Xing and the others also couldn’t help but laugh. 

Meanwhile, Lin Xun acted by himself, inching towards the silver lake.

He seemed to be strolling in a leisurely manner, but in fact, he was ready and waiting for action like a drawn bow itching to fire at any moment!

He only stopped his steps when he reached the lakeside. 

“Little Silver, don’t you think we should talk now?” Lin Xun spoke slowly in his Mind-Sea. 

Ever since they arrived at the bank of the silver lake, Little Silver had been unusually excited, but when he heard Lin Xun’s words, he calmed its emotions and said, ”Master, what are you planning now? Give up, I won’t fall for your tricks again. I won’t let my pride and dignity be trampled on again, even if it’s by you!”

That sentence almost choked Lin Xun to death. He said irritably, “Little guy, what are you talking about? Do you want to rebel? I let you reflect for so many days, but this is the outcome you have come up with!”

“Master, I was right and you were wrong. You should not have deceived me so cruelly and despicably last time. If you don’t apologize to me then I will never forgive you,” Little Silver grumbled stubbornly like a child throwing a tantrum. 

Lin Xun stared speechlessly at it. He had never seen such a proud God Devourer Insect! It called him master, but it would not listen to him at all!

“Fine, I’ll apologize to you. I did go too far last time, but I did it to keep you by my side. You should understand my good intentions and not choose to go against me,” Lin Xun sighed, lecturing the arrogant little guy.

“You’re not sincere enough.” Little Silver huffed.

“You...” Just as Lin Xun was about to lose his temper and teach the disobedient little thing a lesson, Little Silver changed his tone, “But, I forgive you.”

Lin Xun groaned, “That’s more like it.” His anger also dissipated.

Little Silver was indeed like a child. After accepting Lin Xun’s apology, the knot in its heart seemed to be untied, as it said excitedly, “Master, there is a powerful spirit source in this place. If I can find it, I can advance even further and grow to the third stage. When I do, I can transform my insect body into human form!”

“Spirit source?” Lin Xun narrowed his dark eyes. 

“Yes, a very pure and powerful spirit source is hidden at the bottom of the silver lake.” Little Silver’s voice was shimmering with hope. “Master, don’t you want to see me grow? If I can transform into a human form, I can awaken the innate power of my bloodline, and I can practice the secret inheritance arts of my God-Devourer Insect Clan!”

Lin Xun shook inwardly, realizing that he had greatly underestimated Little Silver’s potential. It was one of the top ten insects in ancient times, and now it had developed the potential to become a king. It would grow even stronger if it managed to awaken its bloodline power!

“Are you begging me?” Lin Xun felt satisfied, thinking he was in an advantageous position. 

“Master, this is your duty,” Little Silver said seriously.

Lin Xun’s forehead wrinkled. This little guy is too frank. Can he not show even a little bit of weakness and please me a little?

“Master, we God-Devourer Insects are lofty and unyielding by nature. I will never do something so shameless. Please respect me a little bit in the future,” Little Silver said solemnly.

Lin Xun was completely defeated by the little guy. Although he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth with hatred and he wanted to give the little guy a beating, he held back in the end.

No matter what, Little Silver was a God-Devourer Insect and also a larval king. Its clan was known all over the world in ancient times. It was only right that he respected it. 

Lin Xun cast aside the distracting thoughts and said solemnly, “I will enter the lake later. Can you guide the way? Whether or not you can obtain the spirit source power depends on yourself.”

“Okay!” Little Silver nodded repeatedly. 

Lin Xun was gratified to see its response. How good would it be if it was always so obedient...

Without further delay, Lin Xun was ready to act. 

With a flash, he soared into the air and then carefully headed for the center of the silver lake.

“The kid finally can’t control his impulse to act!”

“I don’t know who this kid is, but I bet he doesn’t know that he is about to die. He is too reckless and impulsive.”

“Isn’t that better for us? The beast at the bottom of the lake is extremely terrifying. It has swallowed an unknown number of cultivators over these days. If the kid distracts the beast, we can use the opportunity to snatch that piece of Star Debris Meteorite!”

“Haha, he is still too young and inexperienced.”

Several cultivators were hiding in the islands and reefs around the silver lake.

When they saw Lin Xun act, their expressions subtly changed, some mocking, some pitying and some gloating. 

Meanwhile, Miss Le and the others who were under the protection of the Four Divisions King Array tensed up nervously and closely watched Lin Xun, worried that something might happen to him.
