Chapter 68: CH. 68 | Cao Ying Seal Restriction

Before truly returning to the Lingxian Sect, Lin Tian turned and flew in another direction.

Occasionally, he glanced back and saw that the people from the Fenhai Sect weren’t chasing him anymore.

He flew into a forest area and found a cave in the middle of the forest, close to a small waterfall.

He landed in that place, and his body immediately fell helplessly, his hand continuing to clutch his chest.

COUGH!

Lin Tian’s body fell weakly. He knelt and vomited blood.

There was a special reason why he was injured like this now. He was sure it was caused by using the Soul-Splitting Whip too often.

Fortunately, he’d arrived in that area safely while trying to recover his body. He turned and clearly saw the small waterfall located in the middle of the forest.

Through the qi aura in his eyes, Lin Tian clearly saw spiritual qi aura radiating from that place.

The amount wasn’t much, but it was enough for Lin Tian to recover.

He flew into the cave and cultivated calmly. Both of his hands formed a simple technique seal, making sure the flow of spiritual qi entered his body.

Lin Tian felt it. The fatigue in his body faded, and his strength also returned to normal.

He needed around 12 hours of nonstop cultivation until his condition fully recovered.

A qi boom was released, shaking the ground and creating ripples on the river below the waterfall.

Lin Tian’s eyes opened, and he looked toward both of his hands.

He saw that the qi aura in Lin Tian’s body had begun to radiate steadily, no longer dim like before.

That proved one simple thing, that Lin Tian’s condition had truly recovered.

His eyes narrowed, and his hand tapped his bag of holding, bringing out Cao Ying’s primordial soul to float in front of him.

"You?! Aren’t you ashamed?" Cao Ying asked.

"You deceived them and made the Fenhai Sect suffer. I won’t forgive you," the woman said.

Lin Tian raised one hand and activated a simple technique seal, then directed the power of white qi light toward the forehead of Cao Ying’s primordial soul.

It wasn’t an attack technique, nor was it an ordinary technique. Lin Tian had just planted a restriction seal on Cao Ying’s primordial soul.

"I, Lin Tian, plant a restriction seal on your soul. You only need to obey one condition from me, which is to listen to and follow my words."

"I’ll remove the restriction seal after 100 years have passed."

Without Cao Ying’s approval, the restriction seal was placed on the woman’s primordial soul and attached perfectly.

White qi aura radiated strongly and made Cao Ying scream in pain. However, Lin Tian didn’t care.

The process of placing a restriction seal would cause pain to the target. Even so, that pain wouldn’t be enough to make Cao Ying die.

Right when the process of planting the restriction seal was completed, a powerful qi boom occurred and spread through the cave passage, strong enough to disturb the rhythm of the waterfall’s flowing water.

"You?! What have you done?!" she shouted.

"I just planted a restriction seal on your primordial soul. You’ll become my personal guard for 100 years and protect me from death," Lin Tian replied.

"After 100 years, I’ll free you."

"How about it?" Lin Tian asked.

"How insolent!"

"You think I’ll agree to your order?! I’m the ancestor of the Fenhai Sect!"

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and activated white qi light.

The light shone at the tip of Lin Tian’s finger, activating the restriction seal that immediately shocked Cao Ying’s primordial soul powerfully, making her grimace in pain and beg for mercy.

Cao Ying knelt on the sky floor, her breathing sounding ragged while her eyes kept glaring sharply at Lin Tian. Resentment and anger grew in her heart.

"After 100 years, I’ll kill you."

"I think we’ve reached an agreement," Lin Tian replied.

He stood up and raised one hand, forming a technique seal and preparing to shoot out a second restriction seal.

The target of the second restriction seal wasn’t Cao Ying’s primordial soul, but the woman’s body.

Lin Tian tapped his bag of holding, bringing out Cao Ying’s body, which lay on the cold floor of the cave.

After the second restriction seal activated, he shot the seal into Cao Ying’s body.

The woman saw what Lin Tian was doing. In her opinion, Lin Tian wasn’t an ordinary cultivator.

He mastered the concept of restriction seals and formations, making him someone who could become the most feared cultivator by anyone.

Cao Ying’s body shone brightly with white light, a simple sign that Lin Tian’s restriction seal had activated on her. Now, the man’s attention was fixed forward.

"Enter your body."

Cao Ying immediately flew and did what Lin Tian ordered. The man waited for quite a while until Cao Ying regained consciousness.

Not long after, both of her eyes slowly opened, a sign that her primordial soul had perfectly fused with her body again.

"Who are you really?" Cao Ying asked.

Lin Tian stretched out his hand, voluntarily helping Cao Ying stand. However, the woman refused him arrogantly.

"I’m Lin Tian. I’m the Sect Master of the Lingxian Sect."

"Just because of the Natural Spiritual Veins, you dragged me into your problem," Cao Ying said, standing with both arms folded.

"I didn’t plan to make you my fighter. However, you still have to accompany me," Lin Tian replied.

"I have the ability to fight my enemies. So, you don’t need to think about that."

Cao Ying stayed silent for a moment while continuing to stare at Lin Tian in front of her.

While letting out a sigh, the woman nodded and accepted what Lin Tian said.

She couldn’t do much because both her primordial soul and body had been fitted with restriction seals.

Cao Ying wasn’t very skilled with the mechanism of restriction seals. However, she knew that even restriction-type seals were far more dangerous.

One small mistake could activate the explosion mechanism.

Since Lin Tian had placed it on Cao Ying’s primordial soul, the explosion of the restriction seal would destroy her primordial soul.

Because of that, Cao Ying looked cautious and didn’t want to tamper with the restriction seal.

It would be much better if she obeyed what Lin Tian said for the time being.

One hundred years wasn’t a long time. Cao Ying was sure she could endure it.

"Our business here is finished. It’s time to return to the Lingxian Sect."
