Chapter 67: CH. 67 | Natural Spiritual Vein and Primordial Soul

Lin Tian further increased the intensity of his spiritual qi to strike Cao Ying’s body with Pressure Lust. He was forced to do it because to defeat a powerful opponent, strength alone was not enough.

He had to control the mind and heart of his enemy so her dao heart would waver and her power would become unstable.

Now, Cao Ying was feeling exactly that. Pressure Lust was clearly disturbing her heart.

She fell helplessly, kneeling on the sky floor with a flushed face and a warming body. Her crotch throbbed, her lust increased for no reason.

Lin Tian used this chance to fly quickly forward and whip Cao Ying’s body. The woman grimaced in pain as if her primordial soul was being forced out of her body.

However, she hurriedly pulled her primordial soul back so it would not leave. Lin Tian realized that whipping a Soul Formation cultivator was not as easy as fighting a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His hand gripped the Soul-Splitting Whip tightly and lashed Cao Ying again for the second time. The wounds on her physical body began to be felt, her primordial soul nearly left her body several times.

Cao Ying was powerless. She had to endure the strange cultivation pressure striking her body while also resisting the power of Lin Tian’s Soul-Splitting Whip.

"W-What power is this?" Cao Ying asked.

"So the Soul-Splitting Whip is effective at injuring the primordial soul of a Soul Formation cultivator... especially an Early Soul Formation cultivator like you."

CTAK!

The third lash sent Cao Ying’s body flying far from her location. The Volcano Conception faded and disappeared. Xu Xiu and the people of the Fenhai Sect were shocked.

"S-Sect Ancestor?!" Xu Xiu said in shock.

They saw Cao Ying fall from the sky, her body striking the ground hard as she immediately vomited blood. Lin Tian was still standing on the sky floor, holding the red whip that released powerful qi.

"He... managed to defeat Ancestor Cao Ying?" Xu Xiu asked.

"This is impossible. If he can defeat her, the Fenhai Sect will have no chance of surviving," one elder said.

Xu Xiu clenched his hands. He could not accept that a Mid Nascent Soul cultivator like Lin Tian had managed to dominate the battle against Cao Ying, who was a Soul Formation cultivator.

If he handed over the Natural Spiritual Vein, the Fenhai Sect would have difficulty cultivating, many sect disciples would leave the sect.

However, if he did not hand it over, he feared that Lin Tian would manage to kill Cao Ying and cut off the inheritance of the Fenhai Sect’s Volcano Conception.

Xu Xiu was truly in a dilemma. His decision as sect master would determine the future of the sect. Regret also appeared along with the battle between Lin Tian and Cao Ying.

"If only we had not stolen their Natural Spiritual Veins back then. Perhaps our sect would be fine," Xu Xiu said.

"There is no use regretting it. The law of cause and effect has appeared. We must face it," one elder explained.

They looked forward and saw Lin Tian standing right in front of Cao Ying. The woman was already exhausted, her body full of wounds and her mind filled with uncontrollable lust.

Lin Tian did not stop. He held his whip and swung it powerfully forward, striking Cao Ying’s body.

"AAAKKKKH!"

Cao Ying’s primordial soul was separated from her body, causing her body to lie unconscious and helpless. Lin Tian stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Ying’s red primordial soul, matching the color of her life element.

"You... let me go!" Cao Ying shouted.

"The primordial soul form of a Soul Formation cultivator is the most vulnerable. You cannot return to your body anymore."

Xu Xiu jolted in shock, a panicked expression appearing on his face. He and the other elders flew away from the Fenhai Sect to meet Lin Tian.

The man realized they were flying closer. He was still choking the neck of Cao Ying’s primordial soul, while his right hand held the Soul-Splitting Whip.

"Wait, Fellow Daoist," Xu Xiu said.

Lin Tian’s focus shifted forward, still choking Cao Ying’s neck. "What?"

"Please release Ancestor Cao Ying’s primordial soul. In return, we will hand over our Natural Spiritual Vein to you," Xu Xiu explained.

"Where?" Lin Tian asked briefly.

"We will do it."

Xu Xiu turned and ordered his sect elders to work. They obeyed and understood what had to be done.

Five elders flew into the sect’s sky and formed formation seals. A red formation rune appeared in the sky, accompanied by abstract patterns and ancient characters.

Lin Tian looked at it. It was a formation to pull out a Natural Spiritual Vein, the version created by their formation. Every sect had its own formation for that matter.

The sect ground split open, a long Natural Spiritual Vein full of branching roots appeared in the sky. Lin Tian smiled faintly.

After successfully obtaining the Natural Spiritual Vein, the five sect elders flew closer to Xu Xiu and handed over the Natural Spiritual Vein.

"This... is our sect’s Natural Spiritual Vein," Xu Xiu said, holding it with both hands.

Lin Tian stored the Soul-Splitting Whip and stretched his hand forward, taking the Natural Spiritual Vein and letting it float above his palm.

"You have already obtained our sect’s Natural Spiritual Vein. May we have Ancestor Cao Ying’s primordial soul back?"

The man stayed silent for a moment, putting the Natural Spiritual Vein into his bag of holding. His left hand, which was still choking Cao Ying, stretched forward as if ready to hand her over to them.

Xu Xiu and the other sect elders smiled, ready to receive Cao Ying’s primordial soul. However, something happened.

"You know?" Lin Tian asked.

"What, Fellow Daoist?" Xu Xiu asked.

"The primordial soul of a Soul Formation cultivator is very valuable."

"I will keep it safe for you!" Lin Tian said firmly.

Shockingly, Lin Tian stored Cao Ying’s primordial soul into his bag of holding along with the woman’s body. When Xu Xiu saw that, anger was clearly visible on his face.

"You deceived us, Lin Tian!" he shouted.

Lin Tian acted quickly, bringing out the Soul-Splitting Whip again and lashing those in front of him.

Xu Xiu and the other sect elders were struck by the whip. A bitter and painful feeling spread through their souls and bodies, making their bodies fly far backward.

"Do not worry, Sect Master Xu."

"I will take good care of your sect ancestor. She is also a valuable asset to me!"

"LIN TIAN!"

Lin Tian quickly moved away, leaving the Fenhai Sect behind. He took out mid-grade spirit stones and used them to increase the spiritual qi in his body, helping him escape quickly.

They could not chase him. Besides their spiritual qi being drastically drained, the wounds on their bodies also made it impossible for them to go after Lin Tian. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Xu Xiu clenched his hand and stared forward with deep hatred.

"Lin Tian! I swear... I will kill you!"
