Seeking the Immortal Way

Now that he had entered a cultivation sect and met someone else, he had some understanding of the situation. It seemed that this old beggar was truly a master, and he was very lucky to have gotten his inheritance. If he could meet him again in the future, he would thank him well.

As Lin Yan thought about this, he became completely lost in thought. Then, as he was training again, the genuine essence inside his body suddenly became disordered. Countless genuine essence began to madly swim about in his meridians, with extreme speed, as if they were trying to break free from Lin Yan's control.

Seeing this, Lin Yan panicked. The packed Purple Void Pupil Skill had stopped circulating, and started to suppress an extremely strong wave of genuine essence s, but the genuine essence s in the eight meridians did not listen to Lin Yan's commands at all, they still crazily fled, and actually caused Lin Yan's meridians to feel pain from running.

Lin Yan tried his best to keep himself calm, and secretly guessed in his heart that just now, when he was cultivating, he was distracted, and did not control the genuine essence well, thus it became like this. The most important thing right now was to suppress this berserk genuine essence, so as to not go berserk.

But facing such a riot of genuine essence, Lin Yan was truly helpless, the surrounding spirit energy seemed to be disturbed by Lin Yan's genuine essence, and started forming a red line on his body, if he continued like this, his Qi would go berserk.

Lin Yan closed his eyes, observing his body while observing his exterior. His forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, and looking at the red light surrounding his body, he couldn't help but recall the words his master had said before.

Normally, such a situation would occur because it was an omen of one's cultivation going berserk. If one did not think of a way immediately, one's meridians would be broken, Dantian Qi Mansion would be destroyed, and one would become a cripple.

Seeing such a berserk genuine essence, the red spirit energy around his body became heavier and heavier, as though he was surrounded by a layer of red blood mist. It was extremely terrifying, even some of the furnishings in the room were affected by the genuine essence and started to sway here and there, some had even been pushed far away by the genuine essence on Lin Yan's body.

Inside the originally clean and tidy room, it was already a complete mess and was in a complete mess. The red light around Lin Yan also became brighter and brighter, as if it would engulf him very soon.

What should he do? Lin Yan could not help but ask himself in his heart. The genuine essence was filled with an unbearable pain from head to toe.

Just as Lin Yan was at a loss as to what to do, the painting on the wall in the room suddenly flashed, and a shadow of a human nature walked out. It was the Great Void Sect's Xiao Longyou.

Xiao Long You looked at the surrounding scene, then looked at Lin Yan who was sitting on the bed with a body covered in red light. He frowned slightly, and knew that Lin Yan's current situation was extremely dangerous, and could not be delayed at all.

Taking a step forward, Xiao Long You extended out two of his fingers and directly pointed at the center between Lin Yan's brows. Immediately, a huge wave of genuine essence directly spread throughout's entire body from the center of his brows. Although the meridians in Lin Yan's body were still in a berserk state, they still could not stir up any ripples in front of this gigantic genuine essence.

Slowly, the feeling in Lin Yan's hot body started to cool down, and the genuine essence in his meridians started to calm down. Under the guidance of the huge genuine essence, they started to flow through his veins and converge at the center of the Dantian Qi Mansion.

Although Lin Yan's eyes were closed, he could see everything in the room clearly. Looking at the image that stood in front of him, even though it was in a semi-transparent state, it carried a strong pressure that was even slightly better than that of the Sect Leader.

From the looks of his body, Lin Yan felt that he looked extremely familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before. He suddenly remembered, wasn't this the person in the painting who was referred to as the Great Void Sect's old senior Xiao Long You? If it wasn't for this person's timely help, he feared that his cultivation would have gone berserk and his body would have exploded.

After a long while, everything inside Lin Yan's body finally calmed down as well. The condition of the Dantian Qi Mansion and vein had returned to normal.

The genuine essence in his body seemed to be much purer than before. From the realm point of view, he had already broken through the peak of the mid Foundation Establishment stage and reached the late period of Foundation Stage of the Cultivation Level.

Seeing this, Lin Yan could not help but be overjoyed. He originally thought that he would have a breakthrough in a few months, but he did not expect that he would benefit from this crisis.

Hurriedly opening his eyes, he looked around the room, searching for the figure of elder Xiao. However, other than the chaos in the room, there was no one else, only the portrait hanging on the wall remained unmoving, as if it was completely isolated from the world, as if this calamity had nothing to do with it.

Lin Yan looked at the condition of his body. Due to the tense situation a moment ago, the sweat on his body had already permeated through his clothes and made him feel sticky, as if some of the filth in his pores had been expelled.

Standing up, Lin Yan walked over to the portrait and scrutinized it carefully. He realised that the person in the portrait was still dressed in white, with a sharp sword in hand, looking elegant and unrestrained, with the same demeanor as before.

Although the portrait looked the same as before, Lin Yan knew in his heart that if the person in the painting did not take action just now, he really would have died this time.

He cupped his hands and bowed towards the portrait, then said to him: "Thank you senior for your help, Lin Yan will not forget it."

After he finished bowing, Lin Yan raised his head to look, and saw that there was still no change to the person in the portrait.

Lin Yan laughed, then went to the courtyard to take a shower. After changing into a clean set of clothes, he looked to the east and discovered that half of the head of the sun had peeked out from the mountain, symbolizing the start of a new day.

Back in his room, Lin Yan sat on his bed and tilted his head as he looked at the painting in front of him.

The person standing in front of him did not appear to be real from his appearance. He was similar to the old beggar that he had seen in Hua Tong City. Could it be that the person in this painting and the old beggar that he had met both belonged to the spirit body? And the real one didn't know where he was going?

Lin Yan had once studied a spirit body. When he was flipping through books in the Scripture Pavilion, he had seen that generally, the most powerful beings would leave something similar to a clone at a place after reaching an extremely high realm. That was a spirit body.

Under normal circumstances, spirit bodies and masters would have their own thoughts, but their abilities were not as strong as the original body's. Putting them all together, was just to fulfill their unfulfilled wish, or maybe they were protecting something, until the genuine essence exhausted its spirit body and disappeared.
