Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 224 Actually, I Lied to You

Zhong Lin did not do anything to conceal himself, openly flying over the mountain range where the Sword Cauldron Sect is located.

Like a phoenix riding the flames, those massive flaming wings could be observed from dozens of miles away, and up close, it was like looking at a great sun.

So the moment Zhong Lin appeared, the entire Sword Cauldron Sect was alarmed, bursting into chaos, with many disciples shouting, and those practicing sword techniques and honing martial arts stopping their actions.

"That... that’s Deputy Sect Master Zhong, he... he can actually fly in the sky?"

"I saw it, Deputy Sect Master Zhong has actually grown wings, how... how is that possible?"

"Such a terrifying aura, why do I have this urge to kneel?"

"Quickly inform the Sect Master."

Everyone in the Sword Cauldron Sect. Everyone looked up at Zhong Lin in the void with a face full of disbelief.

How can a person possibly fly?

And even grow wings?

It’s too incredible.

Zhong Lin also saw Yin Daoyan and Gu Yourong among the crowd, and with a flash of his figure, he walked through the air towards them.

"Master, I’m back."

Always so dignified, Yin Daoyan at this moment lost much of his masterly demeanor, looking at Zhong Lin in shock.

"Zhong Lin, you... this..."

Yin Daoyan’s voice trembled as he looked at the pair of Red Flames Wings behind Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin gave his shoulders a shake, and the Red Flames Wings dissipated, as if it had all just been an illusion.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

From afar, three sounds of shattering air came, and it was Sect Master Yu Jinglei, Supreme Elder Lu Ming, and Shi Yunyi.

"Zhong Lin pays respect to the Sect Master."

Zhong Lin cupped his hands in salute, smiling.

"Zhong Lin, was that you just now? How did you do it? And those flame wings?"

Yu Jinglei’s questions came out like a machine gun, one after another.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he looked at Zhong Lin with blazing eyes.

"Could it be..."

Zhong Lin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have broken through to the Spiritual Origin Realm."

When speaking, Zhong Lin intentionally released a wave of aura unique to the Spiritual Origin Realm, and although that terrifying momentum was but a fleeting moment, it made everyone present feel a fear from an ancient beast, causing the Innate True Qi within their bodies to halt for a moment.

"Good! Good! Good, it’s true, it’s true, the Spiritual Origin Realm is real."

Yu Jinglei uttered three consecutive ’goods,’ his face unable to hide his excitement and elation.

For a thousand years, the most powerful martial artist on this continent was no more than at the Innate Realm, and the so-called Spiritual Origin Realm appeared only in an unknown journal that was considered perhaps fictional. Yu Jinglei often thought it was simply the dream interpretation of sect predecessors, and now to see it was real, he was more than ecstatic.

"Zhong Lin, could... could you let me feel the power of the Spiritual Origin Realm?" Yu Jinglei trembled as he spoke.

Zhong Lin did not refuse and turned his head to look around, finally focusing his gaze on a far-off small hill.

A flick of the Sword Finger, and a platinum Sword Qi shot skyward, wide as a stone pillar, stretching a hundred meters, and it thunderously struck that small hill.

Rumble!

The explosion thundered, and in the terrified eyes of everyone, that small hill was directly pierced through by the Sword Qi, rocks shattered and flew, and the earth trembled as if a land dragon had turned, like the end of the world.

Yu Jinglei’s face showed an unimaginable shock, and everyone else had the same expression, unable to think that Zhong Lin had destroyed a hill with a single strike.

This terrifying power was completely beyond their imagination.

"Moving mountains and overturning seas, destroying heaven and earth, Spiritual Origin, this is Spiritual Origin, good, very good!"

Yu Jinglei trembled with excitement, and others too looked at Zhong Lin with eyes full of heat.

Not just them, the disciples of the Sword Cauldron Sect who had already gathered around were more than shocked, their gaze dull, some even fearing and kneeling on the ground, looking at Zhong Lin with total adulation as if looking at an immortal.

Everyone returned to the main hall, all the Great Elders emerged from seclusion, each staring at Zhong Lin.

"Zhong Lin, you really broke through to the Spiritual Origin Realm? What exactly happened? Where did you go during the year you disappeared?" Yin Daoyan asked urgently.

"Master, no rush, the disciple will answer one by one."

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "That day, after leaving the Chen Kingdom Capital, disciple inadvertently entered a Secret Realm, where I discovered an ancient master’s relic, and with the elixir and cultivation technique left behind, I was able to break through to the Spiritual Origin Realm."

Zhong Lin told a small lie, as the matter of the Transmission Array was important. Although he planned to take a few people to the Luoxing Islands, he wouldn’t publicize it widely.

Hearing Zhong Lin’s explanation, the others showed expressions full of envy, wishing they could have the same fortune.

"The so-called Spiritual Origin Realm, also called the True Essence Realm, is a more powerful force formed by liquefying Innate True Qi, where one drop of Spiritual Origin contains a hundred times more than the same Innate True Qi, and the flame wings just now is a martial art technique that can be cultivated only in the Spiritual Origin Realm."

"So that’s it, True Qi... True Yuan... Spiritual Origin... Indeed, there is a path in martial arts, to hear the Dao in the morning, one could die in the evening! Indeed one could!" Yin Daoyan trembled.

"Zhong Lin, are there any elixirs remaining that helped you break through?" Yu Jinglei asked eagerly. freēnovelkiss.com

"Used up. There were only three pills of that elixir, just enough to help me break through."

Zhong Lin, however, showed no change, as if stating a fact.

The others sighed upon hearing this, only able to envy Zhong Lin’s good fortune.

The entire main hall then basically turned into a question meeting, with others asking and Zhong Lin answering, especially regarding questions about the Spiritual Origin Realm.

Everyone was very curious about what the legendary Spiritual Origin Realm was like. Of course, this question was mostly posed by the Sect Master and the like, as the level was too distant for those who hadn’t even reached the Innate Realm.

After another round of conversation, the elders were sent off, leaving only Sect Master Yu Jinglei, Yin Daoyan, and Shi Yunyi.

"Zhong Lin, you transmitted a message asking me to stay, is there something else you wish to say?"

Sect Master Yu Jinglei, after listening to Zhong Lin’s explanation of the Spiritual Origin Realm, was feeling inspired and was planning to enter seclusion for a while.

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "No rush, have some tea first to moisten the throat."

The three, though puzzled, calmed down, picked up their teacups, and drank.

They didn’t realize it themselves, but with Zhong Lin’s breakthrough to the Spiritual Origin Realm, their attitude towards Zhong Lin had already changed; he was no longer a junior in their eyes.

This was also instinct, as in this world, strength was revered and the skilled were respected.

Zhong Lin’s breakthrough to the Spiritual Origin Realm, making him the strongest in this land, caused their demeanor towards his words to be more cautious.

"Actually, what I said earlier was a lie." Zhong Lin said faintly.

"Pfft!"

"Cough, cough!"

Having just drunk the tea, Zhong Lin’s words made the three of them spit it out, with Yu Jinglei even coughing uncontrollably, his face somewhat flushed, looking at Zhong Lin with utter disbelief.

"Don’t look like that, it’s true, I lied to you."
