"Elder Tantai, please calm down."
Zhuge Qingcang comforted him from the side.
But his face showed a gloating expression.
Lin Qiankun, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Although Lin Jinglong stole your family's secret technique, he will not be able to leave Qingxu Cave alive, so there is no need to worry."
"In less than half an hour, Young Master Tantai will be able to find the True Dragon Cave by following the trail."
"Could it be that Lin Jinglong could comprehend the Immovable King Technique and become immune to the Glazed Fire within half an hour?"
Lin Qiankun's words calmed Tantai Xiong down temporarily, and he nodded heavily with a gloomy face.
"What you said makes sense."
"Moreover, even if Lin Jinglong could master the Immovable King Technique, he was destined not to survive against Young Master Kong!"
"He is a once-in-a-millennium genius!"
The others nodded with envy.
A genius like Tantai Kong has the opportunity to reach the Emperor rank before the age of thirty. In such a large, reclusive family, there has only been one such person in a thousand years.
All the others who advanced to the Martial Emperor realm were over thirty years old, which explains why the Tantai family treasured Tantai Kong.
Some time has passed.
At this moment, Tantai Kong was traversing through the mountains and forests, his pale pupils emitting a ghostly light, following the lingering burn marks in the air as he made his way through.
Before they knew it, they had approached the True Dragon Cave.
However, the True Dragon Cave was specially created by Huangfu Kong to hide the Five Elements Dragon Souls, and it is located in a very secluded place in True Dragon Mountain.
If the Five Elements True Dragon hadn't gone mad and escaped from its True Dragon Cave after the opening of the Pure Void Cave, and hadn't been spotted by the crowd, Lin Jinglong and the others might not have been able to find its dwelling place.
So Tantai Kong circled the cave several times.
“The surrounding area has been deliberately erased, which confirms that the person is within a mile radius, and it is not difficult to find his hiding place.”
A wicked smile curved at the corner of Tantai Kong's mouth.
"Lin Jinglong, there's no need to hide anymore!"
"I know you're hiding nearby!"
"Get out here, and I might let you die a little easier!"
His voice echoed throughout the nearby dense forest.
However, Lin Jinglong did not appear.
Tantai Kong's face suddenly darkened.
Still hiding?
He didn't say anything.
He immediately raised his hands and began to perform hand seals.
The heat emanating from his body rippled outwards in layers in all directions, and almost instantly, the dense forest within a hundred feet of him was ignited by the karmic fire.
And it began to spread to even more distant places!
A burst of flames suddenly shot into the sky!
The trees in all directions gradually turned blackish-gray!
The ground began to become bare, making it impossible for anyone to hide in such an environment.
Those people looking at the painting outside Qingxu Cave.
They all held their breath, instinctively worried for Lin Jinglong, especially in such a competition where the strength of the two sides was so clearly different.
People will subconsciously worry about the weaker party.
Tantai Kong looked around; they were getting closer and closer to the True Dragon Cave.
Meanwhile, inside the cave...
Ge Ling'er was covered in sweat, and her red coat was almost ignited by the scorching air. Lin Jinglong, who was sitting cross-legged in front of her, was naturally sweating profusely.
A charred arm, looking extremely pitiful.
His entire body was burned bright red!
"Damn it! This old ancestor can't hold back anymore. I'm going out to fight that bastard right now. At worst, I'll be turned into a human pill!"
Ge Ling'er couldn't stand the scorching karmic fire inside the cave.
He cursed loudly at the cave entrance, wanting to go out and fight for his life.
But as soon as she stood up, she felt a chill all over her body, and the airflow brought by the invisible karmic fire began to flow even more rapidly.
"Um?"
Ge Ling'er was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly felt as if she were underwater in a pool. She felt incredibly stifled, but then she suddenly felt the water around her flowing in one direction.
It made her suddenly feel much less pressure!
And that direction...
It was Lin Jinglong!
She suddenly turned her head to look.
Centered on Lin Jinglong, it greedily absorbed the heat from all directions. The invisible karmic fire surged into him, seemingly being absorbed and transformed into his own foundation.
"Lin Jinglong! You've attained enlightenment?"
Ge Ling'er's voice trembled slightly.
Her worldview has also begun to crumble.
As the last sect leader of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, an ancient immortal sect, he even personally experienced the momentous historical event of severing the connection between heaven and earth five thousand years ago.
She believes that her vision is broader than that of anyone living in the current martial arts world!
"What kind of geniuses haven't I seen? But someone like you, Lin Jinglong... even if you were five thousand years ago, you would be a freak!"
Ge Ling'er looked at the disheveled young man in disbelief, but from his cross-legged posture, she inexplicably saw a sacred meaning.
Lin Jinglong slowly opened his eyes.
Like Tantai Kong, his eyes also turned white at this moment, and the pale white color was even fading.
It seems to be gradually becoming transparent!
"Immovable King, Lapis Lazuli Fire!"
Lin Jinglong raised his palm as he muttered to himself.
An invisible ball of karmic fire flickered in his palm within the cave, frantically absorbing and devouring the immense fiery energy surging in from outside.
That power is being controlled by Lin Jinglong!
The flickering flames are growing stronger!
Outside Qingxu Cave, the 100,000 cultivators who had been worried for Lin Jinglong fell silent.
The air seemed to freeze suddenly.
"Lin Jinglong actually comprehended the Immovable King Technique? In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in uproar.
Everyone stared at the painting with frenzied eyes!
Inside the Hidden World Alliance's main tent, Tantai Xiong rose once again, this time like a ferocious beast with its fur standing on end, unable to suppress his anger.
I wish I could personally enter the Pure Emptiness Grotto.
Execute Lin Jinglong on the spot for stealing their family's secret techniques!
The emperors beside him exchanged bewildered glances.
"This Lin Jinglong is a real freak!"
Zhuge Qingcang was shocked.
Lin Qiankun quietly clenched his fist.
"What's the rush? Young Master Tantai is exceptionally strong, having reached the Martial Emperor level. Being on par with you and me is just a matter of a thought for him. Killing Lin Jinglong would be a piece of cake for him."
Meanwhile, in the main tent of the Elders' Council, Zhong Lixiu and the Second Elder Wei Xia looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Second Elder, Lin Jinglong's talent and comprehension are already among the best. I think he is definitely no worse than Tantai Kong. We must not let him die at Tantai Kong's hands!"
Wei Xia remained silent for a moment before speaking softly.
"We have already achieved our plan to eliminate the core forces of the Hidden World Alliance by taking advantage of this martial arts tournament. However, if we were to force a conflict with those Martial Emperors for the sake of Lin Jinglong, it would probably not be in line with our original plan."
Zhong Lixiu stared at him, speechless.
"Second Elder, how could you be so heartless?"
