Chapter 737: Chapter 736: Imparting the War God Technique

Retracting his fists, Lin Xiaotian looked at Lin Yun, a doting smile spreading across his face. "Yun’Er, it’s so late. Is something wrong?"

Returning the faint smile, Lin Yun led Lin Xiaotian to a stone bench in the courtyard. After they sat, he took out the hand-copied War God Technique from his Space Ring and said to his father.

"Father, this is a Cultivation Technique I obtained inside the Cyan Dragon Palace."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian took the War God Technique from Lin Yun and immediately began to read it carefully. But after reading only the first page, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Yun’Er, this is a Divine Level Technique..." Lin Xiaotian said, looking at Lin Yun.

However, hearing this, Lin Yun was suddenly taken aback. ’How did Father know the War God Technique is a Divine Level Technique? I didn’t write its level on the copy, and I didn’t say a word about it just now.’

Looking into his father’s eyes, Lin Yun’s expression filled with doubt. Lin Xiaotian had only read the first page, yet he knew the War God Technique was a Divine Level Technique. It was something Lin Yun simply couldn’t comprehend.

"Father, how did you know the War God Technique is a Divine Level Technique?" Lin Yun asked.

At Lin Yun’s question, Lin Xiaotian himself was stunned for a moment. ’That’s right, how did I know it’s a Divine Level Technique?’ After pondering for a long while, he finally replied helplessly.

"I don’t know either. But when I read the introduction, it was like my intuition simply told me this was a Divine Level Technique."

Lin Xiaotian’s explanation was certainly a stretch, but the expression in Lin Yun’s eyes grew heavy.

A few suspicions had already formed in his mind, but with nothing confirmed, Lin Yun couldn’t jump to conclusions. Without dwelling on the matter, he proceeded to explain the key points of practicing the War God Technique to his father.

What struck Lin Yun as even stranger was that his father’s comprehension of the War God Technique was astonishingly fast. There were many parts that Lin Yun thought would take Lin Xiaotian several days to grasp, yet his father understood their profound mysteries with a single glance.

When faced with the War God Technique, it was as if Lin Xiaotian had suddenly achieved enlightenment. He transformed from a man of ordinary talent into a heaven-defying Demon Fiend.

The doubts in Lin Yun’s mind multiplied, but he didn’t say anything. After all, even he felt his own suspicions were too outlandish. ’It’s simply impossible.’ Without absolute certainty, he didn’t dare draw any conclusions.

He had originally thought teaching Lin Xiaotian the War God Technique would take a very long time, but in just a single hour, his father had fully comprehended all of its difficulties and complexities.

This was simply incredible. Forget Lin Xiaotian; even Luo Feng had struggled immensely just to comprehend the profundities of the Cyan Dragon Technique, let alone this War God Technique.

Looking at his father, Lin Yun’s expression was complicated, but he spoke calmly. "Father, after you have memorized this War God Technique, remember to burn it. It must never be shared, or it will bring a great disaster upon our Lin Family."

Lin Xiaotian understood the gravity of the situation and nodded at Lin Yun in acknowledgment of his warning.

Having finished discussing the War God Technique, Lin Yun should have left. Instead, he looked at his father with suspicion in his eyes. His father’s behavior today had sparked an earth-shattering theory in his mind.

"Father, what are your thoughts on this War God Technique?" Lin Yun asked impassively, deliberately trying to bait his father into revealing something.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian showed no suspicion. He thought for a moment before replying, "Yun’Er, it’s strange you should ask. Did you really get this War God Technique from the Cyan Dragon Palace?"

"Hm? Father, what do you mean?" Lin Yun asked, confused.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xiaotian described what he felt. He wasn’t surprised by the War God Technique at all, nor did he think this Divine Level Technique was anything heaven-defying.

On the contrary, to Lin Xiaotian, the War God Technique felt familiar—so familiar it was almost like a part of himself.

After hearing his father’s words, Lin Yun fell silent for a long time. Given his father’s Cultivation, perception, and experience, never mind a Divine Level Technique—even a Celestial Level Technique should have been enough to leave him stunned.

Yet, when faced with the War God Technique, Lin Xiaotian had remained perfectly calm. That alone was enough to make Lin Yun suspicious.

He sat with Lin Xiaotian for a while longer, but in the end, he still didn’t voice his theory. It was, after all, simply too world-shaking.

Bidding his father goodnight, Lin Yun departed alone in silent contemplation.

Watching Lin Yun’s departing figure, Lin Xiaotian didn’t give it much thought. He carefully put away the War God Technique and returned to his room.

After leaving Lin Xiaotian’s small courtyard, Lin Yun wandered aimlessly through the Lin Family Mansion, completely lost in thought. When he reached the lake and rockery in the main courtyard, he stared into the clear water and finally murmured to himself.

’Could it really be true?’

A moment later, he shook his head again. ’Impossible. I’ve never heard of anything so mysterious. Unless...’

He was completely baffled by his father’s behavior tonight, but with no clues to go on, Lin Yun had no way to verify his theory.

He walked a full lap around the Lin Family grounds, only returning to his room when it was Midnight.

After pondering all night, Lin Yun still couldn’t find any explanation or answer. Since he was at a dead end, he decided to stop dwelling on it. ’Sooner or later, the truth will come to light,’ he resolved.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Lin Yun began his daily cultivation. It had been some time since his breakthrough to Spirit Realm Minor Achievement, and his Cultivation was growing steadily. He figured it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to Spirit Realm Great Success.

At the same time, in the Divine Realm—a plane of existence completely separate from the Celestial Spirit Continent—a Longsword suddenly began to tremble. It was located inside the Divine Emperor Palace at the very heart of the Divine Realm, within a secret chamber that was heavily guarded and shrouded by layer upon layer of Arrays.

The secret chamber was no more than fifty square meters, and aside from the Longsword in its center, the room was completely bare.

At that moment, sensing the Longsword’s stirrings, the layers of Arrays covering the secret chamber instantly shot out dozens of Elemental Iron Chains, locking the sword firmly in place.

Tightly bound by the Elemental Iron Chains, the Longsword trembled violently for a quarter of an hour before finally growing still again. Only then did the chains slowly fade away.

Floating silently in the center of the secret chamber, the Longsword remained sheathed, yet its sharp, unconcealable Sword Qi radiated outwards, impossible for the scabbard to contain.

Though it had lain dormant here for hundreds of years, this Longsword possessed a name that struck awe into the hearts of all. It had only ever been wielded by one person—or rather, only that one person was worthy of it.

The War God Sword... the War God’s Sword.
