Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 39: The Longest Journey

The O’Brien Empire is resistant to other religions, and the Illuminati and the Dark Church lurk in the shadows, and once discovered, the O’Brien Empire will eliminate them without mercy.

This attitude of the O’Brien Empire made it impossible for the Illuminati to expand their power in the Empire.

In important cities such as imperial capitals and provincial cities, the Illuminati had quite a few people in their ranks, but in the county towns, there were only dozens of people in a county town.

As for in ordinary small towns, some places had a few people, and some places had none.

As for the townships …… there is even less to talk about.

The network of forces was not very dense, which made it impossible for the Illuminati’s people to inquire about Linley’s traces even if they wanted to, they simply didn’t know, where exactly that Linley had fled to.

Even though they didn’t know exactly where Linley had gone, the six people led by Lan Tantan set off to leave the Holy Island and traveled all the way to the O’Brien Empire.

Northwestern Province, the town of Cloud Peak on the outskirts of the provincial city of Bazil.

The group of Linley, Sessler, the five Barker brothers, and the Rebecca Sisters were quietly here, and the two Rebecca Sisters were taking care of Linley’s group’s food and drink in addition to their cultivation.

The explanation to the town’s residents was that Linley was a nobleman, as for Sessler, he was the butler, and the five Barker brothers were the five guards.

Linley’s group of people were living in the westernmost part of the town, with the nearest homes to them being hundreds of meters away.

“Sister, that skeleton I summoned yesterday, so cute. Silly.”

Rebecca and Lina were both carrying bamboo baskets as they walked back from the town’s ground food market.

Cooking vegetables and rice every day. It was what the sisters had to do after their cultivation.

“Rebecca, don’t always be playful, summon a skeleton and let it go back, you’re always playing around with skeletons, that’s too much of a waste of time.”

Lina was a bit dissatisfied.

Rebecca was too playful, those skeleton soldiers, they were tortured by Rebecca every day.

“Got it, sister, I’ll catch up with you soon.”

Rebecca whispered. Her sister was now able to summon zombies.

It had to be said that the Rebecca sisters had excellent souls and cultivated undead magic very quickly.

The two sisters walked over to the clearing, now that the mansion Linley had planned was still under construction, Linley had built wooden huts to live in first.

“Big brother Linley’s cultivation is so weird.”

Rebecca muttered.

At the moment, Linley was holding the Black Yul Heavy Sword in one hand and the Violet Blood Excalibur in the other, and in Linley’s hands, the Black Yul Heavy Sword was light as if it didn’t have an ounce of weight. But the Purple Blood Soft Sword was the opposite. It was as if it weighed ten thousand pounds.

“Lifting a heavy weight is like a light weight, lifting a light weight is like a heavy weight ……”

There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Linley’s mouth.

Whether it was the Purple Blood Soft Sword or the Black Yul Heavy Sword, they were interchangeable in terms of realms. For example, in the realm of ‘potential’, almost any attack was of the same use.

Swords, sticks and clubs, or fists and feet.

This ‘potential’ could all be incorporated into it.

This made the so-called ‘drawing heaven and earth’ a description of the realm.

However, the realm of lifting weights like lightness could not be transferred to the ‘Purple Blood Soft Sword’. After all, the Violetblood Softsword itself was already very light. After more than ten days of contemplation, Linley sat on the ground and felt the wind blowing that filled the heavens and earth. After more than ten days there was finally a realization.

The wind was invisible, yet it could be as soft as a lover’s hand, and when it was violent, it could even crack mountains and rocks.

“Lifting lightness is like weight.”

Linley swung out the Purple Blood Divine Sword, only to see the thin, cicada-like Purple Blood Soft Sword emit a thunderous sound. The flat ground even produced a violent wind that swept up.

“The wind single magic ‘Sublime Blade’ is the strongest single attack magic. The power of the Sublime Blade is even so great that it can split through space. So, is it possible to cast the ‘Sublime Blade’ with a sword technique?”

Linley pondered.

The great paths were the same, the potential this upper layer. For the Black Yul Heavy Sword it was to cast out the comprehension of the ‘Laws of the Earth’.

In Linley’s opinion, for the Purple Blood Soft Sword, it was the realization of the ‘Laws of the Wind Element’.

It was only when the path was correct that one wouldn’t take a detour.

Nowadays, Linley was quietly advancing along the path he was thinking about, it was just that this law thing was too arcane, and it was very difficult to comprehend. Fortunately, Linley’s Earth and Wind dual system elemental affinities were both superlative. The degree of attunement to nature was very high.

But even so, without several years or longer, it was almost impossible to achieve something.

“Shoo.”

A residual shadow cut through the air and landed directly behind Linley.

“Lord Hisser.”

Linley dropped his head and immediately bowed.

Hiese smiled and nodded, “Where are Barker and his five brothers?”

“They’re cultivating in the open space behind the house. Lord Hisser, please follow me.”

Linley smiled and walked towards the back of the house, but Hise suddenly looked at Linley’s feet with some surprise.

Although on the surface, Linley was the same as a normal person.

But what realm was Hisser in?

He clearly sensed that Linley’s walking was extremely regular and seemed to contain a special kind of fluctuation. In fact, Linley was immersed in cultivation for a long time, and even when he walked, those footsteps naturally contained the pulsations of the earth.

“A genius indeed.”

Hisser marveled in his heart.

When walking a short distance, Hise saw the five Barker brothers, who were exercising in an area shrouded in earth-colored light, lifting a boulder the size of a house.

“Drink!”

The muscles of the five Barker brothers’ bodies were glowing brightly, and their veins were as thick and powerful as snakes.

“Lord Hisser.”

When the five Barker brothers saw Hisser, they immediately stopped practicing.

“You five little guys, training is still very desperate.”

Hisai skimmed his lips and laughed, “How does the effect of cultivation feel?”

The oldest of the five Barker brothers, ‘Butt’, said excitedly, “We couldn’t even feel any progress from our training in the past, but when we practiced in the area covered by the gravity art, not only the muscles on the surface of the body, but even the internal organs of the body felt the progress.”

In the gravity art area, that increased greatly.

Gravity was acting on all parts of the body. Including the internal organs and meridians.

“It’s very good, I ran a big circle to finally bring over that secret codex codex that was left in the General Pole Land back then.”

Xisai turned over his hand and a brand new relatively thin book appeared in his hand.

The five Barker brothers immediately stared at the secret codex with glowing eyes.

“This is the Immortal Secret Codex?”

Oldest five ‘Gates’ stared at the book with wide eyes and a blazing gaze.

“Take it back.”

Hisser smiled.

The oldest five ‘Gates’ waved his hand and like a phantom directly snatched back this Undying Secret Codex, and immediately he opened this secret codex, and the other four waited with bullish eyes looking at this secret codex.

Five strong and bear-like people were in a hurry together, staring at a book with wide eyes.

This scene was indeed an interesting one.

“Haha.”

Hisser laughed. The corners of Linley’s mouth also had a smirk.

Hise looked towards Linley and whispered, “Linley, I can see that like their ancestors, the five brothers have thicker nerves, so I’m afraid that if they’re out there alone, they’ll be easily compelled to deceive. I would like you to take them with you.”

“Lord Hisser, please rest assured.”

Linley promised.

After coming into contact with the five Barker brothers for a period of time. Linley realized that these five brothers were of the grudge-ridden, very brash sort. There wasn’t much heart either. They could curse whoever they wanted to, and wouldn’t keep things to themselves.

This kind of character, Linley was more likeable, true to his nature!

“The five of them, once they cultivate the Immortal Secret Codex, their rate of progress is estimated to be even faster. Reaching the ninth level within a few years. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

Hisser said in his heart.

Immediately, he glanced at Linley.

“This Linley, he should still be trustworthy.”

In Hisai’s eyes, Linley’s level of importance was far from being comparable to the Barker Five. After all, the Barker Five were the offspring of his Hissei’s life and death brothers. Linley, on the other hand, was merely the carver of his preferred stone sculpture.

To Linley, it could only be considered appreciation.

To the five Barker brothers, however, it was as much love as a child or grandchild.

Hisser left soon after, after roughly half a year. That mansion was also successfully constructed, so Linley and the others moved in. A long, peaceful cultivation began.

Knowing that Linley and the others lived in this place, apart from Hisser. I’m afraid it was only Yale.

Yale had long ago sent people to send Linley regular monthly messages about the Illuminati, about the basic messages of the Yulan continent, and about Walden.

Although it was in a countryside town, Linley still knew a few things about the continent. ……

In a forest to the west of Cloud Peak Town, Linley was alone in this place, cultivating.

It had been three years.

Cultivating in the tranquil Cloud Peak Town for a full three years, in these three years, the people of the Illuminati had been unable to seek him out, and Linley himself was completely immersed in cultivation, and his progress had been immense.

The wind picked up and withered leaves fell.

Linley tilted his head back to look at the sky, in the air at extremely high altitude a green wind eagle flew at great speed with its wings spread out, the corner of Linley’s mouth had a smirk on it, the black yu heavy sword in his hand suddenly stabbed straight up in the air towards the air.

“Poof!”

With Linley’s Black Yul heavy sword as the starting point, the entire space created a faint ripple, and this spatial ripple passed towards the air at breakneck speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it reached a thousand meters into the air.

“Poof!”

The fifth level magical beast Green Wind Eagle’s body shook, and then it fell straight down.

“Finally reaching the realm of a hundred heavy waves.”

Linley had a touch of confidence in his eyes, “If I let that Steller take another blow from me today, I guess it won’t be as simple as a minor injury.”

Earth Upanishad’s Triple Wave!

Earth Upanishad of the Tenfold Wave!

Earth Upanishad’s Hundred Heavy Waves!

After spending three years, Linley’s understanding of the Earth Upanishad had reached an extremely profound level. The power of this attack is also becoming more and more terrifying.

Thousands of meters away, it could kill a rank five magical beast.

I’m afraid that it’s difficult for a Saint realm beginner to do so, after all, fighting qi is constantly weakening in the air, when it reaches a certain distance it weakens to a very low point.

Compared to fighting qi, ‘vibration wave’ will be weakened during the transmission process. However, the magnitude of the weakening was far lower than that of fighting qi.

When the triple wave was first created, Linley would be able to kill a rank five magical beast in the air within a maximum of ten meters. Any farther away, and the vibration wouldn’t be able to kill a level five magical beast.

And when he reached the tenfold wave, within a distance of a hundred meters, he could shock a level five magical beast to death.

The power of the 100 heavy waves increased geometrically, not to mention a thousand meters, even two or three thousand meters would not be a problem.

This move was Linley’s bottom card, and Linley wouldn’t easily use it until the moment of danger.

“But this wind Upanishad, how do I break through?”

With a movement of his hand, the Black Yul heavy sword was inserted into the scabbard behind his back, and Lin Lei had an additional Purple Blood Divine Sword in his hand.

After three years of cultivation, the fourth level of the Purple Blood Soft Sword’s realm, the ‘Upanishad of Wind’, Linley had only comprehended the first stage, the ‘Wind Wave Movement’.

“It shouldn’t be, wind magic, not only is it fast and ethereal and weird, the single attack should also be strong. How can I cast ‘Sublime Blade’ through my sword as well?”

Linley had a feeling.

The Sublime Blade could be completely cast through the Violet Blood Soft Sword. But there were layers and layers of mist shrouding that advance, and Linley had no idea where to break through.

“Big brother Linley, big brother Linley.”

Rebecca’s crisp voice came from outside the forest.

Linley grabbed the neck of that Green Wind Eagle and carried it towards the outside of the woods, this Green Wind Eagle was everyone’s extra meal today.

“Big brother Linley, your letter. It was just delivered.”

Rebecca smiled brightly at Linley.

“Oh?”
