Chapter 1090: The Possibility of Further Evolution

The depths of the Demonic Cave.

Black wind howled, Demonic Energy surged, and terrifying demons roared one after another.

However.

In the city suppressing the spacetime node, thanks to the City Defense Array, along with various Arrays that maintained the environment within the city.

Inside the city, although life was a bit monotonous, the living conditions were still not bad.

There were also places for relaxation such as entertainment venues, restaurants, and shops.

From a restaurant in the city came a burst of hearty laughter.

“Haha!”

“Come, I, Mo, offer you a toast, my friend. It really wasn’t easy to invite you here!” Mo Qingyang laughed heartily as he toasted Lin Zheyu with a cup of wine.

“Please!”

“I, Xiao Mou, also offer all of you a toast.”

Lin Zheyu raised his cup, smiling as he spoke.

After being in seclusion for Cultivation for more than a month, it was about time to go out for a walk, so he accepted Mo Qingyang’s invitation and came here for the engagement.

The last invasion from the Demon Realm seemed to have taken a great toll, resulting in no further Demon Realm invasions for more than a month.

Instead, outside the city, demons would often surge out from the depths of the Demonic Cave to cause trouble, but they were all small fry, not worth worrying about.

“Since coming here, aside from that one time intercepting the Demon Realm invasion, you’ve never gone out of the city to fight, have you, my friend?”

“Judging from the current situation, this spacetime node shouldn’t see a large-scale demon invasion in the short term.”

“Would you be interested in joining us to take the Trial in the Bloody Trial Ground?”

The man to Lin Zheyu’s left spoke with a smile.

The man wore a green robe, his handsome features carrying a hint of softness. His skin was fair; even dressed in men’s clothing, he still possessed a charm not inferior to a woman’s.

If one didn’t know he was a man, many would likely suspect he was a woman disguised as a man.

However, the man’s name was quite interesting. Unlike the charm that was not inferior to a woman’s, it carried a strong masculine air.

The man’s name was Yuan Tiejun.

He was a clansman of the Yuan Family, one of the Eight Great Clans.

“No, thanks. I’ve only just recovered from the last battle, and in a few days I have to go guard the Array Hub again.”

Lin Zheyu chuckled lightly and shook his head.

He currently had no interest in the demons outside. He still hadn’t fully figured out that Shadow Demon Dragon yet.

“That really is a pity. I was hoping to fight side by side with Mr. Xiao and witness Mr. Xiao’s strength.”

Yuan Tiejun made a slight show of regret, shaking his head as he spoke.

“There will be plenty of chances in the future; there’s no need to rush it.” Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

After eating and drinking their fill.

Lin Zheyu took his leave and returned to his own courtyard.

Yuan Tiejun smiled as he watched Lin Zheyu’s departing back, then looked at Mo Qingyang with a smile and said, “What do you think of this person?”

“Very strong, impossible to see through.”

Mo Qingyang gave a serious evaluation.

He really couldn’t see through this man. Clearly he was just a Martial Artist, yet it was as if a layer of mist shrouded him. Even when he used a Secret Technique, he could only vaguely perceive that this person was extremely dangerous.

But the more dangerous someone was, the more interested Mo Qingyang became.

Danger meant the other party’s strength was very great!

“To earn such an evaluation from you, it seems this Xiao Yu is truly extraordinary!”

“Interesting, interesting. I wonder if he’d be willing to switch to cultivating the Immortal Dao, and be willing to marry into our Yuan Family.”

Yuan Tiejun said with a smile.

“I imagine you’re going to be disappointed.”

“Martial Artists of the Martial Alliance are all astonishingly devoted to the Martial Dao. Mr. Xiao is in his prime; he likely won’t switch to cultivating the Immortal Dao.”

Mo Qingyang drank a cup of wine and said with a smile.

“Indeed. If he were going to choose to switch to the Immortal Dao, he’d have made that choice back when he broke through to Martial Arts Innate.”

“The Martial Dao is, in the end, a road of no return…”

“It’s a pity someone with such talent and aptitude.”

Yuan Tiejun smiled. Though his mouth spoke of pity, there was very little actual pity in his tone.

As a scion of one of the Eight Great Clans, he had only felt a momentary hunter’s excitement and given rise to a desire to win him over, that was all.

…

In the courtyard.

Within the void above the Primordial Pool.

Lin Zheyu stopped, panting slightly.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 1261

Skills:

Heavenly Deceit Skill 4.0 (Not Initiated)

Seven Extremes Blade (Seventh Layer: 100%)

Shrinking Ground into Inches (Third Layer: 100%)

Primordial Golden Body (Fourth Layer: 100%)

Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill (First Layer: 0%)

Martial Arts Divine Pattern Secret Canon 11.0 (Not Initiated)

Chaos True Skill 59.0 (Second Layer: 3%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness; Chaos True Skill had already been raised to the Second Layer.

Over the past month or so.

So as not to attract others’ attention, he had only seized the opportunity to enter the node’s void twice; otherwise he might have already cultivated Chaos True Skill to Perfection.

“It’s time to go guard the Array Hub and let Mr. Zong come back and rest for a while.” Lin Zheyu said to himself.

A month or so without a Demon Realm invasion had been fairly relaxed for Zong Linjing.

His figure flickered slightly, and Lin Zheyu left the Primordial Pool.

Putting away the Primordial Pool and the Array Disc, Lin Zheyu opened the courtyard’s protective Array and unhurriedly made his way to the first Array defense line.

On the defense line, Wa Zhengtian was just as he had been when Lin Zheyu first met him, sitting cross-legged in the void, cultivating some unknown Cultivation Technique.

As for Zong Linjing, he was sitting cross-legged at the Array Hub located farther from the spacetime node.

Some time ago, Wa Zhengtian had taken over Zong Linjing’s post, guarding the Array Hub closest to the node rift.

Zong Linjing, in turn, had taken over from Je Haomiao, guarding another Array Hub, while Je Haomiao had temporarily gone back to recuperate.

“Mr. Zong, I’ll have to trouble you to wait a bit longer. After I, Xiao Mou, enter the node to scout the situation on the other side, I’ll come back to relieve you.”

Lin Zheyu smiled and cupped his hands toward Zong Linjing.

“You’re too polite, my friend. Even if it’s delayed by a few days, it won’t be a problem.” Zong Linjing replied with a smile.
