Accompanied by a cool sensation, Lin Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
"Your Highness." The first thing that appeared in his vision was the figure of the former Heavenly Emperor.
The former Heavenly Emperor was grasping a jade bottle in his hand, a trace of mist-like life essence continuously pouring out from it and eventually integrating into Lin Yan's body.
With the replenishment of life essence, Lin Yan felt a trace of coolness.
Half of Lin Yan's body, which was burnt badly by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, began to recover.
However, it wasn't just his body that the Red Lotus Karmic Flame burnt. It burnt his spirit and soul as well.
So, there was no way to recover Lin Yan's mental state for a while.
Seeing that the former Heavenly Emperor was helping him recover, Lin Yan's eyes were filled with gratitude, "Your Highness, thank you."
The former Heavenly Emperor smiled and shook his head, "You have stayed inside the Celestial Divine Furnace for ten whole days. It is only because of your luck and strong will that you stay without being refined. Focus on recovering first."
Lin Yan nodded slightly but asked, "How are Teng Gang and Ling'er doing?"
"I have already sent your two sworn siblings back to the forbidden place of the Heavenly Palace." The former Heavenly Emperor's tone became solemn as he said.
But seeing Lin Yan was still worried, he chuckled lightly and added, "We have examined that they have been cured by the Celestial Divine Furnace. So, I have lifted the sentence and forgiven the sins they had committed before. However, from now on, they will not be allowed into the Heavenly Palace."
"Glad they survived." Lin Yan revealed a joyful expression, "I can take them outside the Heavenly Palace with me."
Looking at Lin Yan's joyful face, the former Heavenly Emperor shook his head helplessly. He wanted to tell Lin Yan that he could remain in the Heavenly Palace, but looking at how much Lin Yan cared for the duo, Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er, he knew Lin Yan would not let those two alone.
So, he remained silent.
When the former Heavenly Emperor left, Lin Yan, who still hadn't recovered, slowly stood up.
Walking to the side, Lin Yan casually summoned a pen and paper, pondered for some time, and began to write, 'The Explanation of Phase-less Devils In Detail'
'The Phase-less Devils are invisible and shape-less, but their power and ability are weak under their possession as they can only easily control the cultivator's physical body. If they don't leave on their own accord, it is difficult to expel them….'
'A Phase-less Devil is like a cultivator and also has cultivation realms. It can only possess the cultivator with the same level. The higher its cultivation base, the stronger cultivator it possesses….'
'Also, it is unknown how many Phase-less Devils there are at the moment….'
'The Phaseless Devils seem to have a leader whose strength, abilities, and so on … are still unknown.'
…
The Extraterrestrial Devils that possess intelligence and ordinary Extraterrestrial Devils were already like two different species. Hence, Lin Yan didn't call them Extraterrestrial Devils anymore. Instead, he called them Phaseless Devils.
Shape-less and undetectable, these were what the Phaseless Devils were.
As for the strongest Phase-less Devils among them, Lin Yan didn't have any information.read at novelupdates for more chapters
…
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
Looking at Lin Yan writing insufficient information, almost everyone looked anguished.
So, this was the unknown situation their Heavenly Emperor faced back then.
Well, if one didn't even have a way to know who they were up against, how many people there were, and how strong they were, …it was the most frightening thing.
"Back then, the Heavenly Emperor did a lot for the Lingxuan Continent."
Around the Lingxuan Continent, there were already people who sighed softly.
However, many people loathed the Heavenly Emperor.
Seeing the screen alone, everyone had witnessed that the former Heavenly Emperor had done a lot for the Heavenly Emperor back then. However, in the end, the Heavenly Emperor killed him publicly instead of showing gratitude.
…
(Within The Screen In The Sky)
Under the former Heavenly Emperor's care, Lin Yan recuperated for a few days, then went to the forbidden land and picked up Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er.
The duo wasn't sure what had happened from the beginning to the end.
…
Teng Gang's face turned pale as he looked at the screen above his head.
On the screen, Lin Yan saved him and Zhao Ling'er and told them that Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian died because of the Extraterrestrial Devil's possession.
The two of them, he and Zhao Ling'er, were almost stunned by this bad news and were in grief for several days afterwards.
When Teng Gang went and checked Zhuo Yang and Xu Jingtian's corpses several times, he even began to gaze suspiciously upon Lin Yan.
Now, looking at himself with his own eyes full of suspicion, Teng Gang's chest tightened, and he spat a mouthful of blood again.
Thinking it wasn't enough, Teng Gang gave himself dozens of slaps with his backhand without using the spiritual qi to counteract the force of the hand, allowing the cheeks to swell high and blood to drip from the corners of the mouth.read at novelupdates for more chapters
…
Lin Yan took Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er with him and returned to where he grew up and temporarily lived on top of a small secluded mountain.
Of course, while living in seclusion, Lin Yan was also constantly summarizing the information about those Phase-less Devils.
Shortly after, Xiao Mei, the Heavenly Palace princess, came to where Lin Yan lived in seclusion and temporarily stayed there.
Both Teng Gang and Zhao Ling'er could see Xiao Mei's intention of coming.
Thus, while snickering, they kept creating opportunities for the two.
Two years had passed in this way.
Finally, the day came.
As Lin Yan, Xiao Mei and others were resting inside the house, a long rainbow suddenly trailed across the sky, like starlight scrolling backwards, bright and incomparable.
Accompanied by the starlight, it was a woman with a beautiful face and a slender figure, looking like a starlight fairy.
"Brother, I'm back."
With starlight on her feet, this woman stepped down from the sky and came to Lin Yan below.
And Lin Yan, who was below the starlight, at this moment, his face had long been in dismay.
Waiting for this woman to walk in front of him, only then did Lin Yan say with a face full of disbelief, "Yanran? Is that you?"
The woman across from him smiled with a bright face, "Brother, it's me, I'm now a Dao Attainment realm expert, so let me protect you from now on."
Huh.
Looking at the woman in front of him, who was incomparably pleased with herself, Teng Gang, Zhao Ling'er, and even Xiao Mei, who were all at the side, all turned speechless.
A person from the Dao Attainment Realm dared to be so cocky in front of an almost invincible Half-Step Immortal.
For heaven's sake, how ignorant and fearless could she be?
