Chapter 2237: Chapter 2234: Consciousness Falling

With Lin Tian as the center, the surrounding ground shattered entirely, scraping down half a meter, truly stripping the surface. In the spectator stands, those close by were shaken and impacted, fainting one after another.

Bang, the light sword shook, breaking through the blockade of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, and in the blink of an eye, it stabbed at Lin Tian’s body. Lin Tian roared loudly, grabbing it bare-handed. Although the light sword was intangible, it instantly sliced through his palm, causing zombie blood to splatter.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth, and purple flames ignited from his palm, burning the light sword as if kindling a sword furnace, forging a weapon with fierce fire.

Seeing Lin Tian actually withstand the light sword with his bare hands, the old man of the Divine Clan raised an eyebrow slightly and pressed his palm down once more.

Bang...

Lin Tian was pressed down another half meter. It wasn’t that he couldn’t hold on; it was the ground that couldn’t withstand it, sinking again, and because he was sitting, the whole person was almost buried in the pit. With a wave of his hand, heaven collapsed and earth shattered; the old man of the Divine Clan was so powerful that, in everyone’s view, this had already surpassed the realm of Ancient Martial.

"Lin Tian..." Xiao Manxuan shouted anxiously, and Miss and Yun Xiaotian held her tightly, while the little girl struggled with a surprisingly great strength.

The light sword buzzed, and Lin Tian felt energy penetrating into his arms, then crisscrossing forcefully, wantonly destroying, seemingly wanting to shatter the meridians.

Humph! Lin Tian grunted softly, forcing the foreign energy into the new meridians. The newly opened meridians appeared slender but had an astonishing capacity.

The energy gathered continuously, and the new meridians seemed to have flooded, the energy raging continually. Suddenly, the energy rushed in one direction, as if a void appeared in the river, sucking all the river water.

At the same time, a faint red light flashed by, and Lin Tian noticed that this red light came from the black iron ring on his finger.

Eh? Lin Tian felt puzzled because the light sword interference made it unclear, and as he tried to investigate, his mind suddenly became dizzy.

His entire consciousness seemed to be sucked into an infinite black hole, rotating and descending continuously with the energy flow. Lin Tian completely lost the sensation of his physical presence, as if his soul had detached from the body.

Lin Tian recalled having experienced this before, where his consciousness was drawn into the inner energy space, the lair of Taiyin Xuan Qi. Could it be that this big shot was acting up again, extracting his consciousness? But he’s still fighting against the old man of the Divine Clan!

As he was lost in thought, the suction of the black hole suddenly disappeared, and Lin Tian landed, surprisingly stepping onto solid ground. Upon careful inspection, he found himself inside a house, with dim lighting around.

House? Lin Tian’s mind flashed with realization. A few days ago, while practicing Xuanwu Meditation, his consciousness was highly focused, and it seemed he saw a house, exactly like the one before him.

Lin Tian turned around twice and found some stones piled in a corner, temporarily unable to discern their composition. In the corner was a door; he pushed it open and entered a similar house.

Continuously pushing doors to enter, Lin Tian finally discovered that these houses were connected, dividing this not-too-large space.

It’s said to be a not-too-large space because Lin Tian looked up and saw nothing above but a chaotic light, with nothing beyond it.

He jumped up, rushing upwards, but was bounced back by a film-like barrier, unable to break through at all.

"What is this place?" Lin Tian became even more puzzled, suddenly thinking of the ancient Sword Spirit, who was well-informed and might know something, and couldn’t help but call out in his heart.

However, regardless of how Lin Tian called out, the Sword Spirit did not respond. His spiritual consciousness seemed to be isolated by something, preventing even the sword spirit bound by blood covenant from sensing him.

Lin Tian’s zombie blood covenant with the Charlotte siblings was somewhat similar to the master-servant contract; they could sense each other anywhere, so if Rossi or Charlotte betrayed, he could end their lives with a thought.

Yet Lin Tian didn’t like controlling people, so he rarely used the blood covenant to monitor Charlotte. Now, upon careful sensing, he found the connection with Charlotte was extremely subtle, the distance so remote, to the point of seeming to be in different time spaces.

Damn it, where exactly have I landed, and how do I get out? Lin Tian couldn’t figure it out for a long time, cursing involuntarily. Sometimes, having too many secrets isn’t good; even he couldn’t understand them.

Very impatiently, Lin Tian kicked open another room, and a rush of medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the air, instantly clearing his confused mind and exciting him.

Because previously everything was lifeless, here finally appeared a hint of vitality. Lin Tian was most familiar with medicinal fragrance.

In the room, various medicinal herbs were neatly arranged—roots, stems, leaves, fruits, and even whole plants. Some plants grew very strangely, black and purple. Upon careful distinction of their aura, they were actually Netherworld plants!

The appearance of Netherworld medicinal herbs here was a shock because Lin Tian thought he might have entered the Netherworld. But considering other factors, it didn’t seem like it, because aside from the Netherworld herbs, there were many from the Human Realm, easy to distinguish.

Creatures from the Human Realm could hardly survive in the Netherworld, so Lin Tian immediately ruled out the Netherworld hypothesis.

However, to Lin Tian’s delight, more than a dozen herbs recorded in the Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture appeared in the room—all rare, even extinct in modern times.

Some herbs recorded in ancient manuscripts can never be found because they have disappeared entirely. Every day, species go extinct worldwide, possibly an animal, a plant, among which could be precious medicinal herbs.

Being a pharmacist, seeing so many rare or off-the-market herbs made Lin Tian extremely happy, a treasure any pharmacist dreams of.

Turning a round, Lin Tian opened another door, revealing more herbs; successive rooms full of rare herbs, astonishing him more and more.

The collection of herbs here far surpassed that of Oda Manaka, the pharmacist—so much more, rarer, even incomparable to the Zhang Family.

Excited, Lin Tian opened more rooms, discovering various ores, still both from the Netherworld and Human Realm—excellent materials for forging weaponry.

Seeing so much, Lin Tian found it hard to believe his eyes, even wondering if he had been knocked unconscious by the old man from the Divine Clan, generating illusions.

Regarding ores, Lin Tian didn’t care much; he only minded those herbs—priceless treasures. If it were an illusion, the blow would be too great.

With complex feelings, Lin Tian pushed open a door into a spacious room, wider than before, but inside stood only a stone table with something placed on it.

Lin Tian walked over, came to the stone table, indeed there was something—a dried branch pressed on a piece of animal skin. Lin Tian felt a surge of excitement, thinking he had found a beast-skin cultivation technique, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a cultivation technique as text was written on it.
