Chapter 1738: Chapter 896: Spiritual Treasure 2

And now, these two giant swords of the Spiritual Treasure level are also the weapons of the two Nascent Soul stage powerhouses of the Yulan Sect.

Among them, the Golden Sky Sword is the weapon of Zhou Tianlong, the strongest individual of the Yulan Sect.

Such information is almost universally known across the land of Qingzhou.

Including Lin Tianming, who has a more comprehensive grasp of the details concerning the Golden Sky Sword.

According to the information he possesses, the Golden Sky Sword was inherited by Zhou Tianlong many years after he entered the Nascent Soul stage from a former Great Elder of the Yulan Sect.

This very Golden Sky Sword stands as the credential of the Yulan Sect’s Great Elder, and any cultivator who obtains this sword can firmly hold the position of Great Elder within the Yulan Sect.

In the beginning, Zhou Tianlong was not the Great Elder of the Yulan Sect, but merely an ordinary Nascent Soul stage Elder, his status within the sect was by no means the highest.

However, with the passing of the previous Great Elder, Zhou Tianlong, relying on his more formidable cultivation strength, naturally inherited this sword, thereby becoming the new Great Elder.

It is precisely because of this factor that the Golden Sky Sword’s reputation was cemented, known to almost every cultivator in Qingzhou.

Moreover, an important point is that the Golden Sky Sword generally remains standing in this place.

Whenever the Yulan Sect encounters significant crises, the Great Elder wielding this sword will utilize this treasure.

It is due to this that the power of the Golden Sky Sword is extremely formidable, having slain no small number of strong individuals over the millennia.

This fact is widely known across Qingzhou.

Especially those forces with grudges or enmities against the Yulan Sect, they fear the Golden Sky Sword immensely.

For instance, the Nascent Soul stage experts of the Blood Red Alliance greatly dread the Golden Sky Sword, and by extension, Zhou Tianlong himself.

Including Lin Tianming, who has long read about the Golden Sky Sword in literary records, and thus has some understanding of Zhou Tianlong, this top expert of the Yulan Sect.

Today, upon seeing the Golden Sky Sword for the first time, his heart is immensely shaken.

Not only him, but even Qiu Yuanqing and Liu Ruyu, who have visited the Yulan Sect multiple times, find their hearts no less shaken than Lin Tianming’s.

In such a situation, when Lin Tianming and his companions remain in the flatland, each wears a somewhat solemn expression, appearing quite serious.

However, Lin Tianming quickly regains his composure.

In his view, while the power of the Golden Sky Sword is undoubtedly great, and the overall strength of the Yulan Sect terrifyingly potent.

But this sword only intimidates those who are enemies of the Yulan Sect.

Currently, the Lin Family’s truly powerful enemy in the entirety of Qingzhou is only the Blood Red Alliance.

In contrast, there is no conflict or animosity between the Yulan Sect and the Lin Family.

To the contrary, even the Blood Red Alliance has had considerable friction with the Yulan Sect, and the accumulated grudges over the millennia are deep.

From this perspective, the Yulan Sect and the Lin Family share the same enemy.

In such circumstances, although the Lin Family fears the formidable power of the Yulan Sect, if operated well, there might just be a chance of becoming staunch allies with the Yulan Sect.

However, to achieve this, the Lin Family must officially step into the level of a Nascent Soul force.

Otherwise, though the Lin Family is the strongest Golden Core family in Qingzhou,

they are still not on equal footing with the Yulan Sect, which possesses immensely deep foundations and strength.

On such a basis, the Lin Family aiming to stand on the same level with the Yulan Sect is evidently impossible.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming remains quite daunted by the Yulan Sect despite his confidence.

At the same time, Lin Tianming holds pure reverence for the powerful Nascent Soul force that is the Yulan Sect.

In this scenario, Lin Tianming maintains a serious expression, bringing his entire focus to bear.

Time unknown, Lin Tianming regains his composure.

By now, Qiu Yuanqing and others have also calmed somewhat from their shock.

Then, Qiu Yuanqing is the first to break the silence.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, this is the South Gate Square of the Yulan Sect’s mountain gate.”

“Behind this South Gate Square lies the Yulan Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, which perpetually isolates the Divine Sense perception of cultivators.”

“Next, for us to enter the Yulan Sect, we will need the guiding disciples of the Yulan Sect to come and receive us, while also verifying the identities of those visiting.”

“If any cultivators harbor impure intentions or hide dangerous identities, once discovered, they will certainly face the Yulan Sect’s punishment.”

“Such punishment could be as light as imprisonment for a period, or as severe as death.”

“And even those associated with the executed cultivators, as well as certain forces, will be held accountable.”

“Thus, only after this series of checks can we formally enter the interior.”

Hearing this series of introductions, Lin Tianming nods slightly.

In fact, even without Qiu Yuanqing mentioning these, he was already aware of these rules.

In his eyes, the Yulan Sect is, after all, a Nascent Soul level force and the largest force widely recognized by Qingzhou cultivators.

Over such a long period, various forces and formidable loose cultivators have come into friction with the Yulan Sect.

Some forces have been eradicated entirely, vanishing forever from the historical landscape of Qingzhou, while certain loose cultivators have been killed, becoming victims under the Yulan Sect’s rise.

Such examples have not been rare over the past millennia.

However, there have also been some who escaped as loopholes, becoming uncertain threats.

On this basis, the Yulan Sect, as a Nascent Soul force, needs Qingzhou cultivators to fear and respect it.

Meanwhile, to ensure its safety, the Yulan Sect’s mountain gate defenses are extensive.

Faced with this series of checks, Lin Tianming actually anticipated them and was somewhat mentally prepared.

That is why, upon approaching the outer region of the Yulan Sect, Lin Tianming had already withdrawn all his concealed techniques ahead of time.

He did this to signify his transparency, preventing any of his actions from inadvertently provoking the higher-ups of the Yulan Sect.

If this were to happen, not only would his pre-arranged plans be thwarted, but he might also cause significant trouble.

With the Lin Family’s crisis unresolved, he, as the Lin Family’s Stabilizing Sea Needle, must not meet with any calamity.

Should he truly provoke the Yulan Sect, the Lin Family’s promising predicament would also be forfeit.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming had long decided on his course of action.

Now he has arrived at the Yulan Sect’s mountain gate, witnessing the true appearance of the Golden Sky Sword, and feeling the profound foundation and aura of the top force.

Because of it, Lin Tianming’s reverential fear still stands.

Moreover, Lin Tianming’s resolve to reach the Nascent Soul stage has strengthened.

He is well aware that no matter how strong the Lin Family is now, in the eyes of those top Nascent Soul forces, they are merely a minor threat.

Just like the Yulan Sect, if it seeks to destroy the Lin Family, it wouldn’t require much effort and could definitely manage to uproot the Lin Family.

The only question for them is whether it is worth obliterating the Lin Family.

In the future, the Lin Family wants to truly stand on the land of Qingzhou and establish a firm foothold while remaining competitive, they must step into the realm of a Nascent Soul force.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the Lin Family becomes within the Golden Elixir forces, their voice remains incredibly limited.

In addition, once the Lin Family’s influence reaches a certain level, it will stagnate.

Not only does he, a member of the Lin Family, understand this, even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would be able to see it.

Understanding this and recognizing the influence and deterrence power of Nascent Soul forces, Lin Tianming’s thirst for a higher realm has once again become intense.
