Lin Tian scolded with a stern face: "It's just a failure. It's not like the sky is falling. What's the big deal?"
"Look at you now, discouraged and depressed, with no fighting spirit at all. How can you look like the young master of the Lin family at all?"
Lin Qing whispered, "Grandmaster, your teaching is correct. I feel ashamed."
Lin Tiandao said, "The Hundred Refining Tower is meant to increase combat power. With your current aptitude and the techniques you've cultivated, as long as you spend more time cultivating diligently inside, you'll eventually make the list. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lin Qing lowered his head and accepted the training obediently.
Lin Tian's tone slowed down slightly: "Your failure in the test was within my expectations. Ultimately, it was because you were too careless and thought that the Qi Hai realm could not threaten you."
"Listen to me carefully. For a true peerless genius, it is not difficult to cross a great realm and kill the enemy."
"This is a lesson. Never underestimate anyone in the future. Even if the enemy's realm is not as high as yours, once you attack, you must go all out and never let your guard down. Otherwise, you might be the one to die!"
Lin Qing's heart was shocked.
He had witnessed the ancestor's strength with his own eyes, and it seemed that he could defeat anyone at any level in one move.
With such powerful strength, he must be an unparalleled genius no matter at which level. How can he compare to him?
Thinking about it this way, failure doesn't seem so unacceptable. After all, I lost to the ancestor, so there's nothing shameful about it!
Lin Qing's mind suddenly became clear, and he became more energetic. He said loudly, "Disciple, I understand! From now on, I must practice diligently, guard against arrogance and impatience, and strive to improve myself! From this moment on, passing through the Hundred Refining Tower and becoming a Saint through the Hundred Refinings is my lifelong goal, Lin Qing!"
Lin Tian said with relief: "Very good! That's the kind of ambition we should have, but we can set our goals a little higher. The Great Saint Realm is not the end of the martial arts path."
The Great Saint Realm is not the end?
Lin Qing suddenly looked up, his eyes burning as he looked at Lin Tian, his heart pounding.
Are we going to set our sights on the Great Emperor realm?
But for him, the Great Saint Realm was already out of reach, and as for the Great Emperor Realm, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Suddenly, Lin Qing thought of something.
The ancestor said that the Hundred Refining Tower has a hundred floors, and each floor has a gatekeeper with restrictions and illusions, and its strength increases with the number of floors.
The first level is the first level of body refining, the second level is the second level of body refining... then the 100th level is the tenth level of body refining!
The gatekeeper of the forbidden illusion is based on the old ancestor's template, and his strength is the old ancestor's peak state at that level.
Doesn't that mean the ancestor's cultivation level is at least the tenth level of the Tongtian Realm? Of course, it could also be the Great Sage Realm? Or even higher...
Lin Qing didn't dare to think any further. He was so excited that he couldn't help asking, "Grandmaster, what realm are you in now?"
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know either."
"have no idea?"
Lin Qing was stunned. How could he not know this? Did he not want to tell him?
Lin Tiandao: "Don't worry about my cultivation level, just think about how to pass it yourself."
"I've improved your aptitude, and with the powerful Hunyuan Jiuzhuan technique, you shouldn't have any trouble getting through the first twenty floors of the Hundred Refining Tower. As long as you don't underestimate your enemies and try a few more times, you'll definitely make it. It'll just take a little longer."
"Also, the most crucial part is the twenty-first floor and the levels beyond it. Without your realm advantage, it will be extremely difficult to clear them. You'll have to push your limits again and again."
Lin Qing said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, ancestor, I will definitely not let you down."
Lin Tiandao said, "I hope you'll keep your word. I also want to remind you that when you reach the twenty-first floor, your combat power must reach five stars before you can break through to the next level. You are the young master, so you must be strict with yourself and take the lead. Do you understand?"
Lin Qing shouted, "I know! I swear, as long as my combat power drops below five stars, I will remain in the first level of the Condensation Pill Realm forever!"
Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction: "That's all for today. First, reflect on yourself and think about why you failed just now. Once you figure it out, you can continue to challenge the level."
"yes!"
The Hundred Refining Tower stands tall in the Lin Mansion. The news that one can become stronger by passing the levels spreads quickly, shocking the entire mansion.
However, among the people in the Lin Mansion, only Lin Tian and Lin Qing are qualified to enter the Hundred Refining Tower. Even the chief steward Ouyang Zhi can only watch helplessly.
In the next few days, everyone in the Lin Mansion was still in high spirits. They liked to hang out near the Bailian Tower whenever they had time, and watch the young master break through the barriers.
On this day, Nangong Jian appeared again after many days and visited Lin Tian.
"Why are you so miserable?"
Lin Tian looked at Nangong Jian with a smile on his face.
"Senior, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
Nangong Jian looked embarrassed. His face was bruised and swollen, and he was wearing bloody bandages. He looked really miserable.
Lin Tian was thousands of miles away, but he had already heard about how the Liu family was destroyed with one palm. Now, facing this powerful man with unfathomable cultivation, he felt even more pressure and awe.
Lin Tiandao: "You were able to escape from the hands of the Earth Gang Realm, so it is not a disgrace to the Purple Sky Sword!"
Nangong Jian said with a blazing gaze, "If most of the power of the Purple Sky Sword hadn't been sealed, I would have had a good chance of crossing two realms and killing Meng Kui."
Lin Tiandao: "You don't want me to help you break the seal, do you?"
Nangong Jianyi said, "Is that okay? If you can't unlock it all, unlocking half of it will be fine."
Lin Tiandao said, "Of course it's no problem, but if you can't control it, you'll be torn apart by the sword energy of the Purple Sky Sword and die. Are you sure you want to break the seal?"
Nangong Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it then."
Lin Tiandao: "You are injured and you still come here, what's the matter?"
Nangong Jiandao: "I came here specifically to express my gratitude. Senior, you killed Meng Kui and drove away Qin Yue. I am deeply grateful."
Lin Tiandao said, "You don't have to thank me. I didn't do this for you. Besides, you killed the lord of a city, and the crisis hasn't been resolved yet. The Rising Sun Dynasty will definitely cause trouble for you again."
Nangong Jiandao: "I killed Black Rock City Lord Zhao Ting because..."
"You don't have to explain to me, and I don't want to know."
Lin Tian waved his hand. "It's human nature to seek revenge, and I understand that. The problem at hand is that the Rising Sun Dynasty won't let you go. What are you going to do from now on?"
Nangong Jian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but held back.
Lin Tian said: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."
Nangong Jiandao: "I originally wanted to join the senior's family, but now I am being hunted by the Rising Sun Dynasty. I can't protect myself, so I have no choice but to flee."
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to join the Lin family?"
Nangong Jiandao: "Didn't the senior say that our ancestor Nangong Jue was once the guardian of the Lin family? So I think..."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "So you also want to be the guardian of the Lin family?"
Nangong Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "I do have this thought, but I know I'm not strong enough. Even if I wanted to join the Lin family, Senior might not want me. And now I'm being hunted. In order not to cause trouble for Senior, I'd better forget it."
Lin Tian was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you really want to join the Lin family? Have you thought it through?"
