Chapter 687
It's too difficult to achieve the goal of sitting in charge.
Zhen Sheng's face turned bright red instantly from being choked.
The powerful figures watching the battle also had strange expressions upon hearing this, with some barely suppressing their laughter.
Because what Lin Yang said was almost entirely correct.
Even with his cultivation level above the half-step Dao realm, Zhen Sheng is finding it difficult to harm Lin Yang. If the two are truly at the same level, the possibility of Zhen Sheng being killed by Lin Yang is not small.
Out of respect for Zhen Sheng, or perhaps out of fear of retaliation, the onlookers all refrained from speaking.
But Tianheng and his group weren't so polite; they immediately pointed at Zhen Sheng and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Zhen Sheng, you old bastard, you're really shameless. You dare to kill Lord Lin Yang when you're on the same level?"
"Aren't you ashamed to say that to yourself?"
"That's right, Zhen Sheng, we're all ashamed for you."
"..."
The elders of Tianheng laughed heartily, and Zhen Sheng's face turned from red to black, so gloomy that it seemed as if ink could drip from it.
"withdraw!"
The next moment, Zhen Sheng suppressed his anger and frustration, suddenly waved his hand, left the battlefield, and stopped fighting Lin Yang. Instead, he turned and retreated.
He's already embarrassed himself enough today.
If the fight continues, he won't be able to defeat Lin Yang; he'll only lose face even more.
Xu Shanzang and his companions were filled with resentment.
They found it hard to accept that Zhen Sheng, who had already reached the half-step realm, was completely helpless against Lin Yang!
However, despite their resentment and anger, they ultimately had no choice but to retreat with Zhen Sheng.
Since Zhen Sheng is gone, there's no point in them staying.
Tianheng and the others did not stop them.
Lin Yang did not stop him, but instead flew into the capital and met Tian Heng and the others.
"Lord Lin Yang, you are amazing!"
"To be able to fight Zhen Sheng to a standstill before even reaching the half-step realm is truly admirable!"
As soon as Lin Yang landed, he was greeted with praise and amazement from Tian Heng and the others.
Lin Yang sighed softly, "Gentlemen, actually, dealing with Zhen Sheng wasn't as easy as it seems to you. If he had fought any longer, I might not have been able to hold on..."
Upon hearing this, Tianheng and the others were somewhat taken aback.
After all, Lin Yang and Zhen Sheng's fight just now did seem quite easy.
However, they quickly realized that the old man Zhen Sheng was at the half-step Dao level, while Lin Yang was a level below him. It must have been truly remarkable that he could achieve this level.
The relaxed demeanor she displayed just now was definitely to prevent Zhen Sheng from noticing any flaws in her plan.
Immediately, Tianheng said, "Then, Lord Lin Yang, you should go and rest."
Lin Yang nodded: "I do need to recover. We'll discuss the final arrangements later."
After saying that, he went straight back to his secluded room and began meditating to recover.
Zhen Sheng is, after all, above the half-step realm, and even more powerful than the average person above the half-step realm.
He managed to cope by using almost all his strength, except for the "boundary" which he didn't use.
His relaxed demeanor was definitely a deliberate act for outsiders.
In reality, his blood and qi were surging violently within him at that moment.
"They're on a completely different level; there's nothing they can do against Zhen Sheng."
Lin Yang also felt it was a pity.
Above the halfway point, there is ultimately another level.
Even if he is only one small step away, that small step is greater than the difference between a major realm in the ordinary Dao Realm.
However, Lin Yang quickly put his thoughts aside.
Although he couldn't do anything about Zhen Sheng, Zhen Sheng couldn't do anything about him either, and the current situation was temporarily at a stalemate.
This is already the best possible outcome.
He can hold off Zhen Sheng, allowing Tian Heng and the others to deal with Xu Shanzang and the others with peace of mind.
This would prevent the Chu state from making any further rash moves.
"After that, it depends on whether I can reach the half-step path as soon as possible."
Lin Yang thought to himself and began to focus on his recovery.
If he can reach the half-step Dao realm as soon as possible, he will at least have more initiative than he does now, if not 100% certain of killing Zhen Sheng.
It's not so easy to completely kill someone who's at the half-step Dao level.
However, if he himself could reach the half-step realm, he would find it easier to deal with Zhen Sheng, and he would definitely have the strength to deal with one or two more elders of the Chu Kingdom.
At that time, they might be able to create an opportunity for Tianheng and his companions to kill one or two other elders of the Chu Kingdom. ...
a few days later.
Lin Yang had recovered and stepped out of the secluded room again.
The people of Tianheng felt something and quickly gathered together.
"Lord Lin Yang, are you alright?" Tian Heng asked with concern.
Lin Yang nodded: "He has recovered very well. Has Chu Kingdom taken any further action these past few days?"
"Haha, how dare they?" Tianheng burst into laughter. "I heard that old codger Zhen Sheng went into seclusion again as soon as he returned."
"Huh? He's gone into seclusion again?" Lin Yang asked, somewhat surprised.
“Yes.” Tianheng nodded. “I guess he had no choice but to push you to the limit and wanted to take it a step further.”
“This…” Lin Yang was taken aback.
Wan Fei arrived at this moment and, upon hearing this, smiled:
"Haha, Lord Lin Yang, that's easy to understand. He must be under a lot of pressure right now. You're already so strong even before you've reached the half-step Dao realm. If you ever reach the half-step Dao realm, he probably won't be your match."
"And since your cultivation is improving so quickly, he must be worried that you might break through again at any time, so he is secluded to cultivate again to avoid being suppressed by you in the future."
Tianheng nodded slightly: "That's right. However, he has already reached the limit of half-step Dao. It's not easy for him to go any further. This old man is destined to be suppressed by Lord Lin Yang."
As he spoke, Tianheng looked at Lin Yang: "Lord Lin Yang, you are now only one step away from the half-step path. Do you have any clues?"
Lin Yang shook his head: "Beyond the half-step path, there is indeed another level of existence. I still need to hone and accumulate experience for a while."
“That’s true. Reaching the half-step level is indeed too difficult.” Tianheng felt this deeply.
Because he himself was just a little bit away from reaching the half-step level.
However, his strength is not as great as Lin Yang's.
Then, Tianheng looked at Lin Yang and said, "Now that you, Lord Lin Yang, are in charge, there shouldn't be any more disturbances in the Chu Kingdom. I also want to continue my seclusion and make some breakthroughs. Could you please help me continue to oversee my Lanlou Kingdom for a while?"
He and Zhen Sheng were originally of the same generation, and seeing Zhen Sheng break through, he was also rekindled with his drive.
Lin Yang naturally nodded in agreement: "No problem, Elder Tianheng, you can go into seclusion with peace of mind."
He had sacrificed a lot for Lanlou Kingdom, and now he would naturally not refuse such a small favor as staying in Lanlou Kingdom for a period of time.
"Then thank you very much, Lord Lin Yang." Tianheng thanked him, and then went into seclusion without hesitation.
Clearly, he had prepared everything in the past few days.
"We hope the Grand Elder can also break through smoothly." Yan Hao and the others exchanged glances, all looking forward to it.
If Tianheng can also break through, then he will be able to completely suppress the Chu Kingdom in all aspects!
As Tianheng went into seclusion, Lin Yang received news a few days later that Xu Shanzang and the others from the Chu Kingdom had also gone into seclusion one after another.
Upon hearing this news, Yan Hao and several other elders also chose to go into seclusion.
Suddenly, the once bustling high-altitude space became somewhat quiet and deserted.
The war between the Chu Kingdom and the Lanlou Kingdom that everyone had anticipated did not occur.
On the contrary, all the elders of both countries went into seclusion one after another.
This immediately gave people a sense of an even greater storm brewing.
"Currently, neither Lanlou Kingdom nor Chu Kingdom can defeat the other. Both sides are putting all their efforts into seclusion, trying to break through. It remains to be seen which side can produce another half-step Dao cultivator. At that time, the battle will definitely be even more intense."
Everyone is well aware of the reasons and purposes behind the fact that the elders on both sides have gone into seclusion.
The current peace is only temporary.
Time flies.
Another ten thousand years have passed.
Over the past ten thousand years, Lin Yang's strength has improved slightly, but he is still a little short of being at the half-step Dao realm.
"Elder Tianheng is right. Reaching the half-step path is indeed too difficult. If there is no more suitable opportunity, one has to rely on seclusion and arduous cultivation."
Lin Yang whispered:
"But seclusion and arduous cultivation take too long. Perhaps we should consider going to the ancient battlefield."
That day, Daoist Qingshan had taken him to the ancient battlefield.
You can enter from the half-step path.
Although he hasn't reached that level yet, his current strength is comparable to those at the half-step level.
Lin Yang planned to go to the ancient battlefield to try his luck after Tian Heng and the others came out of seclusion.
Of course, he had another matter to attend to before that.
That is, to the Heart of the Extreme Sea! (End of Chapter)
