The Sovereign’s Ascension

attack, but Lin Yun’s Flower Burial Sword had pierced through his chest.

He didn’t even have the time to crush the jade slip and leave the Black Lotus Palace.
When the Flower Burial Sword was pulled out of his body, he collapsed on the ground and his life was taken away from him.

Lin Yun swept a glance to look at everyone else hiding.
His actions started those that were still hiding in the darkness.
They felt like they had been seen by Lin Yun’s gaze.

Lin Yun paid no attention to them and sheathed his sword before looking at the jade bottle.
When he opened it up, a medical fragrance wafted out from the bottle.

Lin Yun could be considered half an alchemist, so he could tell that the pellet in the jade bottle was a third grade pellet.
It could only be refined by third grade alchemists.
But there weren’t many third grade alchemists in the Great Qin Empire.
Even the Sword Firmament Pavilion only had one third grade alchemist.

There were ten-odd pellets in the jade bottle, which wasn’t a little amount.
Lin Yun hadn’t consumed any pellets after reaching the Profound Martial Realm.
There wasn’t any taboo against it, but he just wanted to wait until he reached the ninth and tenth stage of the Profound Martial Realm to use them.

Lin Yun stored the jade bottle and climbed the lotus stage to enter the second stage.
After he left, the suffocating atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed, and many people let out a breath of relief.

Many of them were prepared to crush the jade slip in their hands because they were afraid that Lin Yun might kill them.
But it was fortunate that he didn’t do so.

On another Lotus Treasure Stage, the core disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect led three disciples over.
Their appearance instantly made everyone who were fighting over the treasure to stop.

But before they could even speak, a dragon and tiger roar echoed from Tang Yuan.
He manifested a dragon on his right fist and a tiger on his left fist before throwing his punches out.
After the two punches, everyone was blown away and slammed into the wall.
They were all groaning out in pain when they fell onto the ground before they charged at Tang Yuan.

“Damn it! This damn baldie is actually so ruthless!”

“Don’t be afraid of him.
Let’s go together!”

Facing everyone coming at them, the three disciples behind Tang Yuan all wore disdain on their faces.

“They’re just ants.” Tang Yuan’s face changed and a halo appeared behind his head.
At the same time, a Buddhist aura spread out on his body.

Using the Undying Vajra Seal and Demon Vanquishing Seal, he combined them to form the Undying Vanquishing Seal and slammed his palm down.
This made everyone feel as though they had slammed onto an invisible wall.

“Senior Brother, let’s make them hand over their interspatial pouches,” suggested a disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect.
They had the advantage, so they could naturally make the demand.

“No need.
The Heavenly Profound Sect is the strongest sect in the Great Qin Empire.
How can we lower ourselves to the level of these demonic cultivators? Let’s just make them hand over 10 three petal Demonlotus Cores each.
Those who were unwilling can also crush their jade slips to leave,” replied Tang Yuan.

“Senior Brother is really generous.”

“Did you hear that? Why are you people still here?”

Everyone who was on the ground smiled bitterly.
Even if they had any Demonlotus Cores, that amount would probably be at least one-third of their wealth.
In the end, the so-called ‘generosity’ was bandit’s logic.

But they could either hand it over or leave.
In the end, many people sucked it up and handed 10 three petal Demonlotus Cores over.
After all, they could have a chance at turning the tables around as long as they remained in the Black Lotus Palace.

Someone quickly stepped forward to retrieve the box on the lotus stage.
When he saw what was in the box, he exclaimed emotionally, “Senior Brother, it’s a Blood Ginseng.
It’s at least 500 years old!”

“You can keep it.
I don’t need it,” replied Tang Yuan.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” The disciple didn’t know how to react from the sudden joy.
This made the two other disciples envious.

However, Tang Yuan was indifferent about it because the treasure on the first level wouldn’t have any worth.
His goal was both the ninth level that no one had ascended over the past thousand years and the legendary tenth level.
The Black Lotus Palace’s core was in those two levels.

Not even all the treasures on the eighth level could compare to the ninth level.
As for the tenth level, it was simply unimaginable.
But a legend was still a legend.
