Chapter 1043 - 347: The Wu Family Arrives_2

His qi blood and life essence were incredibly powerful, and was seriously injured to the point where he needed to close himself off for half a year to recover.

It shows how serious Bai Lin’s injuries were.

"It’s still about the matters over by the Demon Lair."

"The invasion of the Demon Realm is becoming increasingly severe, and in the deepest part of the Demon Lair, the number of demon powerhouses appearing at the largest space-time node is growing."

"Over a month ago, a terrifying Eight-Striped Demon Fiend emerged from the depths of the Demon Realm. That’s a demon fiend as terrifying as a Divinity Transformation!"

"Mr. Bai was rather unfortunate, getting caught in the aftermath of a battle between the Eight-Striped Demon Fiend and a Buddhist Arhat."

Qiu Kun said, a trace of lingering fear flickering in his eyes.

That was a battle between mighty forces at the Divinity Transformation level, and the energy waves unleashed were like the destruction of heaven and earth.

Qiu Kun had once witnessed it from afar, and to this day, he still felt apprehensive.

"Eight-Striped Demon Fiend!"

"Mr. Bai is really lucky."

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but remark.

Earlier, he had felt quite sympathetic towards Bai Lin, but now, after hearing that he was caught in the battle between the Eight-Striped Demon Fiend and a Buddhist Arhat, he no longer thought so.

To survive the periphery of a battle between two Divinity Transformation level powerhouses, one has to admit, Bai Lin’s luck is truly extraordinary, his life blessed.

"Indeed, I heard that Mr. Bai had a demon at the Seven-Striped level that happened to take most of the damage for him."

"Otherwise, his life would likely have been forfeit."

Qiu Kun lamented.

The two exchanged recent big events as they arrived at the Profound Light Tower.

Lin Zheyu had been so immersed in cultivation recently that he was oblivious to the outside world, solely focused on cultivating.

It was only through Qiu Kun that Lin Zheyu found out just how dire the current situation was.

"Prepare yourself, increase your strength as quickly as possible."

"Soon, this world will fall into chaos."

Qiu Kun took a drink from his cup, sighed, and said.

The great calamity is near, and no living being in this world can remain unscathed in such a disaster.

"Is it really that severe?" Lin Zheyu frowned and asked.

"Yes, it really is that severe."

"Just look at the Demon Lair and you’ll know."

"Even with the assistance of the Buddhists, a demon fiend comparable to a Divinity Transformation level came out."

"If it weren’t for the Buddhists’ help, the Demon Lair would have probably been entirely taken over by demon fiends by now."

Qiu Kun shook his head and said.

Back then, Great Wei had reached an agreement with the Buddhists—they allowed the Buddhists to spread their faith in Great Wei in exchange for their help in suppressing the Demon Lair.

Faith is an advanced energy source more important than spiritual energy or spirit stones to a cultivator.

Without the power of faith, it is impossible to resist the erosion of demonic energy.

Great Wei truly made a huge sacrifice, paying a tremendous price.

"Sigh, weren’t we supposed to just talk about trivial matters, why bring this up?"

"This really ruins the mood."

The man in white next to Qiu Kun, who appeared somewhat refined, said somewhat speechlessly.

This person was Xia Ziliang, a junior of Xia Ping.

It was through Xia Ping’s introductions that Lin Zheyu became acquainted with and formed some camaraderie with him.

"Come on, we were just getting to the most important secret!"

"Have you heard? The ancestor of the Wei Family might have run into some problems with his cultivation, there’s a chance he won’t live much longer!"

Qiu Kun lowered his voice and said cautiously.

The ancestor of the Wei Family he mentioned was the most powerful individual in the royal family of Great Wei.

"What!"

"Is that true?"

Lin Zheyu and Xia Ziliang exchanged a glance, both a bit surprised.

It is said that the old ancestor of Great Wei is a terrifying existence at the Peak of Void Realm. A strong figure of this level can have a lifespan of over ten thousand years.

All things considered, the old ancestor of Great Wei is only six to seven thousand years old, still in his prime.

"Shhh, quieter!"

"I’m just passing on what I’ve heard."

Qiu Kun shushed, speaking cautiously.

Speaking ill of a Peak of Void Realm powerhouse behind their back was extremely dangerous, and he felt a bit guilty.

"No wonder, no wonder the powerful Wei Family would cede the Barbarian Race to the Nine Nether Sect."

"No wonder Great Wei reached an agreement with the Buddhists, sharing the faith with them." Xia Ziliang whispered.

He exchanged a glance with Lin Zheyu.

If this deduction holds true, the old ancestor of Great Wei might really be in trouble.

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Let’s just talk about trivial matters."

Lin Zheyu lightly coughed, a hint of inexplicable anxiety arising within him, and quickly spoke up.

The old ancestor of Great Wei is a powerhouse at the Peak of Void Realm.

Just by casually discussing the rumors about him, Lin Zheyu’s heart unexpectedly transmitted an inexplicable anxiety—truly terrifying.

"Yes, yes!"

Xia Ziliang agreed.

...

After the meal and drinks, they also visited the Carefree Tower.

When Lin Zheyu returned to the courtyard, it was already noon the next day.

After a good relaxation session, Lin Zheyu felt refreshed in both body and mind.

Even the frustration caused by the inability to cultivate the hard-won witchcraft dissipated significantly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

In the courtyard, the sound of a blade slicing through the air could be heard as Lin Zheyu began his daily extreme cultivation exercise.

Over an hour later.

He finally stopped, panting heavily.

[Heaven rewards diligence]

"Over nine hundred source power now..."

"It’s time to go into seclusion for a while, quickly create a martial arts skill, and then enhance my strength."

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness, silently saying to himself.

He only wanted a stable, peaceful life of cultivating at leisure and seeking the Dao for longevity, but he never thought it would be so difficult.

"Hopefully, the old ancestor of Great Wei will be alright."
