"What? In just about two years, he cultivated from the tenth level to the mid-twelfth level?"
"How is this possible? What kind of cultivation speed is this?"
Upon hearing Nan Weng's words, some cultivators in the distance were all taken aback.
"It's not impossible. Using the Cosmic Trading System, it's possible to achieve this. It's said that Lin Yun is a master of the Cosmic Trading System!"
One of the practitioners shook his head.
"Master of the Cosmic Trading System..."
Some cultivators' eyes flashed with envy. Although it was not uncommon for owners of the Cosmic Trading System in the Ninth-Level Civilization Star Domain, not everyone could become an owner of the Cosmic Trading System. Once one became an owner of the Cosmic Trading System, one would enjoy all sorts of conveniences.
Whether in terms of wealth or power, there will almost always be a significant increase.
This is something that many people present cannot have, so how could they not be envious?
However, some people's eyes flashed with disdain.
Having a cosmic trading system is certainly good, but they know that such a person usually won't have a high position in a faction. In particular, if a person uses the cosmic trading system to enhance their strength, it will destroy their potential and make it difficult to reach a higher level.
Such a person may attain a relatively high status at a certain level, but this status is very limited.
"You may be mistaken. This Lin Yun definitely did not use, or did not use on a large scale, the Cosmic Trading System to enhance his strength. Otherwise, how could he have his current strength? You should have seen the battle just now. Although Lin Yun is only at the mid-stage of level twelve, he has the strength comparable to a half-step super strongman. Such a powerful ability to challenge opponents of higher levels is the most terrifying thing. How could this be achieved by enhancing strength through the Cosmic Trading System?"
Just then, a cultivator at the peak of level twelve shook his head slightly and said.
He possessed the strength of a level 12 peak expert, and he also had some understanding of the strength of a half-step super strong person. He saw very clearly the strength that Lin Yun had just displayed.
"Um?"
"Indeed! The strength Lin Yun just displayed is in no way weaker than those few half-step super strongmen. His strength has definitely reached the level of a half-step super strongman! This is something that the strength boosted by the Cosmic Trading System cannot achieve!"
"So, he really did reach this level step by step through sheer talent?"
"In that case, his talent is truly extraordinary!"
The others were taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and all gasped.
Even those cultivators who had previously looked down on Lin Yun were now gasping in shock. They had overlooked this point earlier, but now that they thought about it, it was indeed true.
If he relied on his own talent to break through from the tenth level to the mid-twelfth level in two years, then that talent would be truly heaven-defying. Moreover, as that person just said, what is most terrifying is Lin Yun's ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, which means that Lin Yun's talent is even more heaven-defying.
"No wonder he comes from that place? Could it be that Lin Yun has some powerful background?"
Some people noticed another piece of information in Nan Weng's words, and they all looked thoughtful.
Just now, some people tried to escape but were killed by Nan Weng with a single sword strike. They dared not escape anymore and could only watch how things unfolded while also trying to gather some information.
Starry sky.
"You flatter me, Senior Nan." Lin Yun shook his head and said upon hearing Nan Weng's words.
“I’m not flattering you. As far as I know, even in that place, your cultivation speed was extremely fast,” Nan Weng said with a slight smile.
"What kind of place is this...?"
"Just what kind of background does this Lin Yun have? Even in that place, his cultivation speed is extremely fast? Does this mean that many people in that place cultivate very quickly, and some even surpass Lin Yun's cultivation speed? With so many people cultivating at such a fast speed, the power from which Lin Yun comes must be no small power!"
"I doubt even a superpower could do this!"
Some people muttered to themselves.
A glimmer of hope began to grow in their hearts.
They were afraid that Nan Weng would kill Lin Yun and his group with a single sword strike without saying a word.
Just like killing that Gewei.
In that case, after Nan Weng kills Lin Yun and his group, they will most likely be next.
However... if Lin Yun has some powerful background... that makes this old man Nan wary and prevents him from killing Lin Yun!
Then, this old man might not bother with them and simply let them go!
Besides, it's better this way; the information has already been spread...
I believe that other super-strong individuals will arrive soon after receiving the message.
The longer Lin Yun stalls, the greater their chances of survival.
Hearing Nan Weng's words, Lin Yun felt a little complicated.
He knew very well how a person should react when the Bloodthirsty Sword had a great impact on them. At this moment, Nan Weng's words were unhurried and slow, just like normal conversation. This meant that Nan Weng was not affected too much by the Bloodthirsty Sword.
This news is both good and bad.
Alright, Nan Weng won't kill them directly, giving them time to communicate. Perhaps Nan Weng will also be wary of their supposed background as the Immortal Origin Holy Land and won't kill them.
This is bad. It means that Nan Weng will act more rationally and become more difficult to deal with. He is not afraid of a demon's madness, but he is afraid of a demon's rationality. He seems to see an unparalleled demon rising up.
"Your talents are so good, your master must be extraordinary. May I ask who your master is? I know some of the powerful figures in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. If you tell me, I might recognize them..." Just then, Nan Weng glanced at Xia Qingqing beside Lin Yun and asked again with a smile.
As expected, he was still wary of Lin Yun and his group's origins.
However, upon hearing Nan Weng's words, Lin Yun's heart sank once again.
How could he possibly know who the powerful figures of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were? Even if he randomly picked a name, he probably wouldn't be able to match it to anyone! What did Nan Weng mean by that? Was he questioning their origins from the Immortal Origin Holy Land? Or was he doubting that they had a powerful master behind them?
In short, if he doesn't answer this question well, their outcome this time could very well be disastrous.
Having witnessed firsthand how easily the super-strong Ge Wei was killed by Nan Weng, he didn't believe they could escape if Nan Weng had wanted to kill them.
"This is going to be a disaster..."
Lin Yun smiled bitterly to himself.
Even if they can hold out until other super-strong individuals arrive and rescue them, they probably won't know how to explain themselves to those other super-strong individuals.
He couldn't explain either the method by which the Bloodthirsty Sword turned against its master, or the background of the Immortal Origin Holy Land behind them.
"Um?"
However, at that moment, Lin Yun had a sudden thought.
He didn't seem to know nothing about the powerful figures in the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
According to the information he knew, what many powerful people feared and knew about seemed to be the Immortal Origin Holy Land from thousands of years ago.
At that time, the sacred land of immortals was Earth.
At that time, the small world of Immortal Realm and Heaven did not yet exist.
So... perhaps he could do this...
“We don’t have a master, but we do have an elder whose name is Li Yao.” Thinking this, Lin Yun raised his eyes and stared at Nan Weng, saying.
“Li Yao?” Old Man Nan was taken aback.
He began to quickly search his mind for information: Did such a powerful figure exist in the Immortal Origin Holy Land thousands of years ago? If so, what was his strength at that time?
However, after searching, he couldn't find any powerful figure named Li Yao in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. This included not only super-strong individuals, but also half-step super-strong individuals, as well as level 12 cultivators, level 11 cultivators, and even lower-level cultivators.
