Chapter 9

"Sky Soul Technique!" The words in the ancient book made Lin Yan startled, "Elder Brother actually placed this soul cultivation method here."

In his previous life, Lin Yan was nearly invincible, founding the Sky Sect.

He then traveled throughout the Sky Eternal Realm, and in one of the ten life-and-death forbidden zones, the 'Soul Burial,' he found this ancient book.

But this ancient book for soul cultivation, Lin Yan gave to his elder brother, Lin Jue.

It was precisely because of this ancient book that Lin Jue became a famous talisman master in the Sky Eternal Realm, founding the Talisman Sect and becoming its leader!

Now that I have an Imperial Soul, I wonder if I can make my soul power immensely powerful with the help of this ancient Sky Soul Technique.

With this thought, Lin Yan began to cultivate.

Boom!

In this moment, Lin Yan's mind suddenly emitted a loud boom, and then a part of it transformed into a sea of souls.

The Sea of Souls is specifically used to store soul power.

In the Sky Eternal Realm, cultivating spirit power strengthens the physical body, while cultivating soul power strengthens the soul.

Similarly, during battles, spirit power can only kill the physical body.

However, the reason soul power is so powerful is that it can not only kill the physical body and resist spirit power but also destroy the soul.

However, in the world, there are very few cultivators who can cultivate soul power.

Those with the talent to cultivate soul power are even fewer.

"The Sky Soul Technique says that once the Sea of Souls is formed, one can use soul power to condense talisman runes!" Lin Yan thought to himself.

He then directly released a strand of soul power, which suddenly formed a talisman rune.

The talisman rune condensed, instantly bursting with immense power.

However, this directly consumed all the soul power in Lin Yan's Sea of Souls.

"For the talent of talisman runes, perhaps no one in the world can compare to me," Lin Yan said. In the past, to seek the Imperial Path, Lin Yan entered the Sky Hall and comprehended the countless talisman runes.

It can be said that no matter how powerful the talisman rune, Lin Yan understands it.

However, his current strength is weak, and he cannot condense them.

Boom!

Lin Yan then stopped thinking and directly unleashed the talisman rune. This power directly shattered everything on the stone table into powder.

"This power is probably comparable to the Great Perfection of the Transcendent Mortal Realm," Lin Yan thought to himself. The Sky Soul Technique is indeed extraordinary, but Lin Yan also knows that the reason he has such soul power after just starting cultivation is due to that thread of Imperial Soul. To break through again will be extremely difficult.

During this time, Lin Yan immersed himself in further cultivation.

However, Lin Yan cultivated soul power. For Lin Yan, cultivating the 'Reincarnation' technique, he has already reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. To break through again is somewhat difficult, and Lin Yan is not in a hurry; he is waiting for an opportunity.

Nine days!

Nine whole days passed.

Boom!

On this day, a loud boom sounded in the sky, and Lin Yan's eyes suddenly opened.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Lin Yan knew that the opportunity had finally arrived!

Thus, Lin Yan directly left the Lin family and headed to the back mountain.

Lin Yan thoroughly understood the Yunton Empire and knew that it was a season of frequent thunderstorms, but he didn't expect that it took nine whole days for a thunderclap to sound.

In the back mountain, the sky was dark, and thunder rumbled.

Staring at the lightning, Lin Yan took a deep breath, and then his soul power burst forth, directly condensing a talisman rune. This talisman rune instantly released a burst of power.

Lin Yan then moved again, instantly condensing ten talisman runes, which immediately connected to form a talisman array!

This was just an ordinary spirit talisman array!

Named the Lightning Gathering Array!

As the name suggests, this array can gather the power of lightning.

Boom---

At this moment, the sky boomed again, and lightning flashed, like a dragon of lightning ravaging the sky.

Under this, a bolt of lightning instantly fell into the Lightning Gathering Array.

However, Lin Yan glanced at it, and this power was still not enough, so he continued to wait.

At the same time, in the Lin family, many people had gathered.

"Is this your idea, or the idea of your royal family, or the idea of Emperor Yunran and the princess?" Lin Jian looked at the marriage contract and laughed coldly.

"Lin Jian, does it matter whose idea it is? Lin Yan is already a waste, and this marriage contract should have been dissolved long ago. Do you know why we didn't come nine days ago and waited until today? It's just to give your Lin family a bit more time. After all, your Lin family has grown significantly in recent years and has many enemies. So we only expressed our stance today. At least during these nine days, no one from your Lin family was disturbed, right?" Yun Zhe stared at Lin Jian and said.

"Initially, our Lin family had no intention of marrying into the royal family. It was you who proposed the marriage contract and publicized it throughout the city. Now, it is you who are breaking the engagement, tarnishing our Lin family's reputation!"

"Your royal family is truly too overbearing!" Lin Jian said, word by word.

"Lin Jian, don't forget, this is the Yunton Empire, and everything is decided by our royal family." After saying this, Yun Zhe left directly.

Hmph!

After Yun Zhe left, Lin Jian angrily snorted.

"This marriage contract being broken is for the best. The royal family is cold and has many enemies. If our Lin family gets involved with them, we will never have peace. Besides, Yan's talent is even stronger now than it was back then. Even if the princess wants to marry, Yan might not want to." The Second Elder said.

"Sigh, it's just a pity for Yan. We made this marriage contract for him without his consent, and now it has tarnished his reputation!" Lin Jian said.

Hearing this, the people of the Lin family sighed slightly.

After today, Lin Yan of the Lin family will likely be the subject of gossip for many people.

"Tomorrow is the Talisman Array Contest. The royal family expressing their stance at this time is probably not with good intentions, wanting to leave us with no place to bury our bodies!" Lin Jian said.

Everyone in the Lin family understood this.

The Lin family had broken the legs of over a dozen Zhou family cultivators, and Lin Yan had even killed one of the Zhou family on the spot.

The Zhou family didn't retaliate because they feared the royal family.

Now that the royal family has broken the engagement, this news is likely known throughout the city.

Tomorrow, what will the Zhou family fear?

Even the Lin family's former enemies will no longer fear.

"Tomorrow—this will be a matter of life and death for our Lin family!" the Second Elder said.

"Tomorrow, Yan must not appear. Even if we die, we must protect Yan. As long as he is alive, the Lin family will have a line of descendants to carry on. One day, Yan will surely avenge us!" Lin Jian said at this moment.

At this time, Lin Yan was completely unaware of all this.

The sky was filled with continuous thunder, and the Lightning Gathering Array was surrounded by lightning, like snakes.

At this moment, Lin Yan glanced at the array.

"It should be enough!" Lin Yan thought to himself, and then he immediately used his soul power to resist the lightning, sitting cross-legged inside.

Huff---

Lin Yan then exhaled, and then he circulated the 'Reincarnation' technique, completely withdrawing his soul power.

Boom!

When the soul power was withdrawn, the lightning struck Lin Yan's body fiercely.

Even though Lin Yan was at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, this was still the power of lightning.

Heavenly lightning is always terrifying because it contains the most destructive power in the world.

Even though the Lightning Gathering Array only gathered a small amount of lightning, it was still extremely terrifying, directly splitting Lin Yan's skin and releasing a smell of roasted meat.

But Lin Yan gritted his teeth and persisted, with a determined look in his eyes.

Boom, boom, boom---

The heavenly lightning continued, but at this moment, a stream of spiritual energy entered his body, flowing through his meridians, organs, and finally into his dantian.

Under the influence of this spiritual energy, Lin Yan's meridians, bones, and organs became even stronger.

Boom!

When the dantian contained the first strand of spiritual energy, Lin Yan's body emitted a loud boom, and his aura became several times stronger.

Lin Yan knew that he had now stepped into the Transcendent Mortal Realm!

Although he had just reached the Transcendent Mortal Realm, Lin Yan believed that his strength could easily defeat cultivators at the Small Success stage of the Transcendent Mortal Realm.

However, Lin Yan was still not satisfied.

He opened his eyes, gazing at the sky, and then a look of madness appeared on his face.

At this moment, Lin Yan completely ignored his injuries, once again using his soul power to condense talisman runes and build a larger Lightning Gathering Array.

This was a second-grade spirit talisman array, the Lightning Gathering Array!

Once this array was formed, Lin Yan knew that it would not just attract a small amount of lightning.

It would attract real lightning!

And just as Lin Yan was madly cultivating, the capital was in turmoil.

The Lin family had shone in the capital a few years ago because of Lin Yan, and now they were once again the focus. Lin Yan's engagement to the royal family had been broken, and all the forces that received this news were surprised.

"The Lin family will likely be exterminated tomorrow!" many cultivators sighed.

"If the Zhou family doesn't act tonight, then tomorrow's Talisman Array Contest will be the last battle for the Lin family's cultivators. This battle is worth watching. Three years ago, Lin Yan's battle amazed everyone. It's truly a pity that this genius is ending. I wonder if there are any other young people who can show their talent."

"It is said that just now, the Hong family also proposed to join the Talisman Array Contest!"

"The Hong family has a grudge against the Lin family, and in the past two years, they have added two Spirit Realm cultivators, and the younger generation's talent is also good."

"It seems that the Lin family will surely be exterminated!"

In the capital, many cultivators discussed this.
