Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

58- Four Pillars' Resonance

The golden engravings carved onto the top of the warning pillars began to emit a buzzing sound and one by one, they began to flicker with a golden brilliance. The dormant engravings on the pillars appeared to have been awoken as they broke away from the pillars and began to float in the air, joining together to become one large piece of doc.u.ment.

Everyone in the crowd was amazed. They looked towards the Lin Xuanzhi who was standing in the middle of an open area — what kind of ability does this person actually have to have been able to trigger the pillars’ resonance?

Madam Bai stood up in an instant. She furrowed her brows and scrutinized the warning pillars, her heart was frenetic and filled with horror ——no, this definitely can’t be happening!

The Lin family’s law enforcement hall’s warning pillars: each word written on it had been carved on personally by the Lin family’s ancestor and they contained remnants of the ancestor’s soul desire. The Lin family once had a legend — whoever could trigger the warning pillars’ resonance and revive all 81 pillars in this hall at the same time would prove himself to be the successor selected by the Lin family’s ancestor who had ascended!

And for many years, even though there were quite a few people from the Lin family who had racked their brains to try and do it, none of them had been able to revive the warning pillars. How could this Lin Xuanzhi turn the warning pillars into this kind of state with just one sentence?!

Don’t tell her, this good-for-nothing Lin Xuanzhi, is actually the Lin family’s true successor?

Madam Bai wasn’t the only one who had this kind of thinking and conjecture. After all, the legend surrounding the warning pillars had long spread around to the members of the Lin family. In fact, everyone who was present had once tried to trigger the warning pillars’ resonance.

The crowd’s gazes that landed upon Lin Xuanzhi had evidently changed.

A flicker of panic and fear flashed through Lin Zezhi’s eyes. After he was momentarily stunned, he immediately thought of something and said in a loud voice, “The head’s Dao ways have no boundaries, a flood of good fortune fills the heavens4!”

His voice sounded like a sudden clap of thunder which snapped everyone out of their reverie.

Everyone in the hall kneeled down simultaneously as they faced the fifth elder Lin Runru who sat atop the main seat and spoke in chorus, “The head’s Dao ways have no boundaries, a flood of good fortune fills the heavens.”

Lin Runru suddenly burst out in laughter and said, “My Dao ways really do have no boundaries, and a flood of good fortune has filled the heavens, I don’t need your compliments. But as for these warning pillars ma——”

Lin Runru drawled, his gaze appeared to casually sweep across the crowd below the platform, but ultimately he beckoned Lin Xuanzhi over and said, “Kid, come forward.”

Lin Xuanzhi complied and moved forward.

Lin Runru tsked and curled his fingers to beckon him, “Come stand here in front of me, what are you standing so far away for?”

Lin Runru’s seat was at least three zhang5 away from the ground; the crowd waited with bated breath to see how Lin Xuanzhi would make a fool of himself.

But they didn’t expect Lin Xuanzhi to actually lightly tap his foot and fly straight up onto the high platform——you must know, it was practically impossible for a mere Refining Qi stage second layer cultivator with a destroyed dantian to reach somewhere three zhang high with one leap.

The crowd was stunned once again.

“Didn’t they say, that the highest realm he can ever reach in this lifetime is the Refining Qi stage’s second layer?”

“Don’t tell me he actually managed to obtain a sky-level medicinal pill?”

“No way, he must have used some other way!”

“Biaoge, what’s going on ah?” Bai Susu furrowed her brows and asked with a puzzled look.

Meanwhile, Lin Zezhi’s face had an obviously unsightly look. When he heard her words, he forced out an awkward smile and said, “It’s probably due to the a.s.sistance of Master who was feeling benevolent.”

Bai Susu heaved a sigh of relief, then said, “So that’s what happened, I thought that good-for-nothing had recovered ne.”

Yet Lin Zezhi’s heart sunk.

His words were only good enough to trick Bai Susu, but how could Master have helped him?

But, Lin Xuanzhi clearly hasn’t recovered, and his body’s Qi obviously belongs to that of a Refining Qi stage second layer realm. He hadn’t used any magic tool to a.s.sist him either, so how the h.e.l.l did he get up there?

Lin Zezhi found out soon enough.

Because the Lin Runru who sat atop the main seat clapped as he laughed, then said, “Looks like you utilised the stored spiritual Qi in a forged stone to aid you, and to actually be able to achieve this kind of stability. Looks like you’ve taken a liking to crafting.”

Lin Xuanzhi stretched out his left hand that had been hidden in his wide sleeve, then opened it up with his palm facing upwards; on it you could see the ashen remains of a forged stone that had lost its spiritual Qi.

Madam Bai’s eyes opened so wide they almost left its sockets; she cried out involuntarily with horror, “You actually cultivated the equipment path, you’re a craftsman!”
