Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 538: Chapter 253 Green Flame Lotus_2

At that moment, a bright light flashed in the hall, and Jing Lin, clad in heavy armor, walked out from the light.

The strong fluctuations of spiritual energy made Li Yelai raise an eyebrow.

”Lord Camellia, congratulations!” Li Yelai said with clasped hands.

At this moment, Jing Lin’s spiritual energy fluctuations indicated he had entered the Fifth Sense!

Indeed, Jing Lin had spent quite some time at the Fourth Awakening. As a son of the Spiritual Ability Family, his foundations were solid, further reinforced by many bloody battles.

He was only a step away from the Fifth Sense. It was time for that step.

Previously, when boasting in Giant City, Jing Lin mentioned that a Spiritual Ability User who possessed the Jing Family’s bloodline and had acquired the corresponding inheritance,

would undergo a qualitative change after the Fifth Sense.

Due to the inheritance, the Jing Family’s curse was unique. Although their spiritual power strength was greater than that of other Spiritual Ability Users at the same level, their curse was excessively lethal.

Like Jing Lin’s Skyfire Eye... use it once, go blind for a while, use it once, go blind for a while.

If he couldn’t achieve an instant kill, he would be finished.

It was almost a fatal flaw.

But after all, the Jing Family was a Spiritual Ability Family with heritage, linked to some so-called ’Divine Being,’ and they still had some methods.

Once their family’s Spiritual Ability Users advanced to the Fifth Sense, they found ways to use their ability to avoid the curse.

Just like Jing Lin, unless something unexpected occurred, he had already obtained the ”Spiritual Eyes·Heavenly Eye” ability. He could even cosplay as True Lord Erlang, the Manifested Sage...

Even if he went completely blind, the Heavenly Eye at his brow point could still see, and this ability, not being a physical eye, wasn’t affected by the blinding curse.

No need to worry about the curse, and with spiritual power strength stronger than the average Spiritual Ability User at the same level. This was one of the inheritances that the Jing Family had preserved to this day.

Now, Jing Lin could be considered to have entered his Complete Form, and his combat power would greatly increase!

At this moment, Jing Lin was truly intimidatingly strong!

The Jing Family really had some methods... Of course, there were some beasts as well. Thinking of how his mother was from the Jing Family and had refused to contact them until her death, Li Yelai felt a slight sting in his heart.

At the same time, Jing Lin also sensed Li Yelai’s spiritual energy fluctuations, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Damn, are you about to reach the Fifth Sense?”

It was no wonder he was surprised. Advancing from the Fourth Sense to the Fifth Sense in one month was excessively rapid.

The first time the two met, Li Yelai had only been at the Third Awakening.

And now, hardly had Jing Lin reached the Fifth Sense when Li Yelai was already catching up.

This surprised him, as such a rate of advancement would be explosive in any family or within Giant City!

Actually, Li Yelai knew that the most talented person in Giant City was Doll.

This girl, who liked to use emoticons, was even strengthening her spiritual energy every moment, growing stronger involuntarily.

If it weren’t for the fear of becoming distorted from advancing too quickly, she would have always suppressed her spiritual energy.

Otherwise, she might already have advanced to Overlord status.

Captain Yang Chen becoming an Overlord at nearly thirty was rare enough, but Doll at twenty-four... the thought alone was frightening...

”It’s alright, not as fast as you,” Li Yelai replied.

”You bastard, it’s normal not to be as fast as me!” Jing Lin laughed in exasperation, ”You came to me to have me concoct a Magic Potion, right?”

”Indeed,” Li Yelai nodded, ”After all, you still owe me quite a few materials. Those are worth quite a lot, those Spirit Fruits.”

”Sure!” Jing Lin nodded decisively, ”What were you just discussing with Captain?”

He hadn’t heard clearly when he came in.

”I wanted to find out about the challenge for a Fourth Ring Seat. I’m about to reach the Fifth Sense and feel confident enough to challenge for a seat,” Li Yelai responded while pulling out the Ancient Dragon Ball and the previous materials, along with the intelligence about the Main Base hidden within them, handing them all to Jing Lin.

”Coincidentally, I’m also interested in the Fourth Ring Seat. Wait for me for a while, and we’ll discuss it together. It won’t take long to concoct the Magic Potion.”

Jing Lin then left the ark.

...

Within Jing Family’s Mansion, Jing Lin opened his eyes and immediately handed over the materials in his hands to Yin Fire nearby.

”He needs to create a Fifth Sense Magic Potion!” Jing Lin quickly said.

”Is he about to ascend to the Fifth Sense? So soon?” The old man from the Jing Family’s expression changed slightly, ”I remember when the Night General left Giant City, he had just reached the Fourth Awakening, hadn’t he?”

”Right? The first time I met him, he had just reached the Third Awakening! He’s really catching up fast!” Jing Lin complained.

”It’s somewhat understandable though. He even got his hands on an Ancient Dragon Ball... he now controls quite a few resources...” Yin Fire picked up the Ancient Dragon Ball and glanced at the message hidden in the material, slightly furrowing his brows, ”Is he trying to pursue a mutation? But gold... does surrounding the Insect Master also count as fulfilling the condition?”

”He probably wants to try. After all, the Ancient Dragon Ball is really rare.” Jing Lin said, ”By the way, he wants to challenge the Fourth Ring Seat just like me.”

”That’s good, you can look out for each other.” Yin Fire said, ”Giant City will support you both fully.”

Meanwhile, an official Spiritual Ability User began the preparation of the Magic Potion.

At the same time, the intelligence sent by Li Yelai had also reached headquarters.

Secrets of the Blood God Sect’s Main Base were known to the officials.

The general location, defensive power, location of the treasure vault, the scale of the military power, and the significance of the Sealed Blood Ore Crystal.

These would all become part of their plans, and they would coordinate with Li Yelai to launch a devastating attack.

”SSh, letting a figure like the Night General enter the core of the Church is really too dangerous.” A senior official lamented, ”For the Church...”

”Hey, what good can come from the Church? He’s Chosen by the Blood God!”

...

During the time officials made plans and prepared the Magic Potion, Li Yelai in the ark moved next to the walls.

He observed several scrolls on the wall.

On the third and fourth scrolls, there were noticeable changes.

The third scroll originally served as a warning of the Fifth God of Chaos invading the physical world.

It was originally a bizarre and abstract depiction of a blue flame lotus blooming and burning in the darkness.

And now, vague figures seemed to appear around the lotus.

They appeared to be following the Green Flame Lotus.

’It seems that the Fifth God already has believers. I wonder what the relation with the Blood God Sect is? Should I stir some trouble?’ Li Yelai thought, maybe a new faction would emerge within the Ember Church.

Li Yelai had nothing else to say, damn it, damn it all!

Then, he looked at the fourth image which had also transformed a bit.

That figure resembling Captain Yang Chen in the distance, also surrounded by countless figures wielding weapons.

To Li Yelai’s shock, he recognized Bloodsuckers, Plague Knights, and Ye Boshou among those figures?

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised: ’Has the Chaos Faction also been dragged into this?’

From one perspective, it was a good thing. But seeing Captain Yang Chen and Ye Boshou, Li Yelai didn’t feel very good.

If only those fellows from the Chaos Faction had been swallowed by the Disaster Fog.

Afterwards, Li Yelai returned to his seat and waited about twenty minutes before Jing Lin returned inside the ark.

He held a wooden box emitting a formidable power, stepping out of a white light.

”Sorry to keep you waiting, Copper Face.” He waved his hand, and the wooden box appeared before Li Yelai.

Naturally, the Magic Potion was inside the wooden box, which was also used to convey some information.

”Thanks a lot.” Li Yelai picked up the box and put it back in the Physical World.

”It really wasn’t easy to make, if I hadn’t been prepared, I almost couldn’t have controlled that thing. Boy, it nearly blew me over,” Jing Lin complained, ”Be careful with it. The power of the Ancient Dragon Ball is very volatile. If you, can’t succeed in mutating, just give up. The Ancient Dragon Ball is precious, but not as much as your own life.”

Li Yelai nodded, ”I understand, I’ll give it a try.”

Then, Li Yelai asked, ”Captain, everyone has arrived. Please, tell us about the challenge for the Fourth Ring Seat. Is it within the ark?”

If it’s inside the ark, the captain might end up crying in the end, Li Yelai thought.

”No, you’ll be sent by me to a dangerous environment.

If you can bring out some valuable items within three days, then you will have completed the challenge.”
