Chapter 5

The Path of Wind Blades, a Second Rank Spirit Array, contains powerful spiritual energy that can summon fierce winds, sharp like blades. Even those at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm would find it difficult to resist such power.

Moreover, Lin Yan was now a cripple, his body extremely weak.

Not to mention walking a few meters, even stepping into it would result in severe injuries, and walking a meter might directly lead to death!

"Lin Yan, if it weren't for you back then, the Lin Family wouldn't be as glorious as it is today. Everyone in the Lin Family is grateful to you. Now that the Lin Family is in trouble, we, as Lin Family sons, will not back down. You protected the entire Lin Family back then, and starting today, we will protect the Lin Family for you. So, we will walk this path for you!" A young Lin Family cultivator, Lin Zhe, said, stepping onto the Path of Wind Blades as he finished speaking.

"That's right, we will walk it for you!" The others gritted their teeth and also stepped onto the path.

In an instant, runes on the path shimmered, and then a fierce wind suddenly arose, fiercely impacting the young generation of the Lin Family.

But these people gritted their teeth and persisted.

Even as the wind blades cut their bodies, causing them to bleed profusely, they continued to step forward.

Seeing this, Lin Jian and the others were greatly comforted.

But then their expressions suddenly changed.

Because at this moment, Lin Yan actually stepped onto the Path of Wind Blades.

"Lin Yan!" At this moment, Lin Jian and the others almost instantly acted, their spiritual energy bursting forth, trying to protect Lin Yan from the spiritual wind blades.

However, in the next moment, their bodies froze on the spot.

"How—how is this possible?" Lin Jian and the others looked at the scene as if they had seen a ghost.

Lin Yan stepped onto the Path of Wind Blades and was not injured!

"Grand Elder, this—" The other Lin Family cultivators were also extremely surprised, their faces full of confusion.

"Yan'er's meridians and bones were removed. Even if he recovered his blood and qi with medicinal pills, he is still a cripple. This body cannot withstand the power of the wind blades at all." The Grand Elder also smiled bitterly and said.

"Then this is—" These cultivators wanted to say, is this a fake Lin Yan?

"Let's see. If the situation is wrong, I will immediately act to save Yan'er!" Lin Jian said.

Then everyone nodded and stared at Lin Yan with serious expressions.

On the Path of Wind Blades, Lin Yan felt the power.

At this moment, he closed his eyes and then circulated the "Samsara" cultivation technique. As the technique circulated, Lin Yan's expression suddenly opened, revealing a determined look, and he continued to move forward.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The further he went, the stronger the wind blades became, each one fiercely attacking Lin Yan.

The Body Tempering Realm focuses on tempering the body. Only a body as hard as iron can resist such wind blades. And now, Lin Yan was not even at the Body Tempering Realm, so he naturally could not resist such wind blades.

Therefore, under the wind blades, Lin Yan's clothes were instantly torn, and even his flesh was cut with small wounds, blood flowing down.

"Yan'er, come back quickly!" Lin Jian said when he saw this.

"No need, I can still hold on!" Lin Yan said, his voice extremely resolute, leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment, Lin Zhe and the others in front also noticed Lin Yan.

"If Lin Yan can do this, how can we retreat?" Many of the young generation of the Lin Family clenched their fists and continued forward. After a short while, they had walked fifty meters, and Lin Zhe even walked fifty-eight meters before stepping off the Path of Wind Blades.

"These children, because of Lin Yan, can achieve this!" The Lin Family cultivators couldn't help but sigh when they saw Lin Zhe and the others.

"Even though Yan'er cannot cultivate in this life, his spirit remains, and our Lin Family will not fall!" Some people thought to themselves.

As others stepped off the Path of Wind Blades, only Lin Yan remained on the entire path!

"Back then, he walked ten meters on this Path of Wind Blades in an instant. Now, it took him a quarter of an hour to walk ten meters. Even Lin Zhe and the others only took half a quarter of an hour." Lin Jian sighed, the Lin Yan of the past was truly gone!

However, Lin Yan was still persisting.

His body was already covered in blood, but Lin Yan's expression became increasingly bright, and even a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"This 'Samsara' cultivation technique is truly marvelous. Now I have reached the Minor Success stage of the Body Tempering Realm." Lin Yan thought to himself.

The Body Tempering Realm is subdivided into the Minor Success stage, Major Success stage, Great Perfection stage, and Peak stage!

The Minor Success stage of the Body Tempering Realm focuses on tempering the skin, the Major Success stage on the bones, the Great Perfection stage on the meridians, and the Peak stage on the internal organs and blood!

If it weren't for the 'Samsara' cultivation technique, even cultivating an Imperial-grade technique, with extraordinary talent, one would absolutely not be able to reach the Minor Success stage of the Body Tempering Realm in a quarter of an hour from having no cultivation at all!

Moreover, Lin Yan had not yet cultivated the Samsara Body. Now, he was just an ordinary body, with ordinary bones, meridians, and blood!

Thud, thud, thud—

Then Lin Yan continued forward, though the wind blades were stronger, he was not afraid at all!

Sss, sss, sss—

Under such conditions, Lin Yan's body was again covered in blood marks.

But Lin Yan didn't care; he continued forward, circulating the 'Samsara' cultivation technique. After walking thirty meters, Lin Yan's expression became even brighter.

"The Major Success stage of the Body Tempering Realm, the Heavenly Book is truly terrifying!" Lin Yan was even more amazed. In less than an hour, he had gone from having no cultivation at all to reaching this stage. If this cultivation speed were to be known, even in the Heavenly Sect, where geniuses abound, it would shock people speechless!

"Grand Elder, we can't let Lin Yan continue. He has already walked thirty meters, which is probably his limit. If he continues, something might happen." A Lin Family cultivator said.

Boom!

At this moment, Lin Jian nodded. He also saw that Lin Yan had stopped, and he probably had no strength to continue. Walking thirty meters without any cultivation was already a miracle. If he continued, Lin Yan might die on this path.

"Yan'er, I will come to get you!" Lin Jian said at this moment.

"No need, the power of the Path of Wind Blades is not enough to stop me. Since I have started, I will walk to the end alone." Lin Yan said directly.

Just this much power, and Lin Jian needs to come to save me?

This is really a joke. In my past life, I was an emperor. Although this body is weak, I still have a trace of the emperor's soul. Relying on this trace of the emperor's soul, I can resist the wind blades. I only made myself look so miserable for the sake of cultivation.

Hearing Lin Yan's words, everyone was stunned. The power of the Path of Wind Blades was so strong, but in Lin Yan's eyes, it was just a little power?

"This is not the time to show off!" Lin Jian said.

However, as he spoke, Lin Jian's expression froze.

Not just him, but everyone else had the same expression.

Because they saw that Lin Yan was actually moving forward again, and this time, he was walking briskly on the Path of Wind Blades!
