With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1242: Refining killing intent
Chapter 1242: Refining killing intent
“So what are you expecting from me?” Lin Fan asked after hearing what the stone had to say.
When the stone spoke again, it was as if it had been waiting for him to say this as it said, “Naturally I want to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect.”
With another sigh, the stone said, “I have been trying to find my way back for the longest time, but I haven’t found anything at all. No matter how I searched, I was never able to find anything familiar about this place.”
A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face when he heard this.
It was only natural that this Blood Restraining Stone had never been able to find anything familiar. It had been sent to a completely different continent that used a completely different system of power.
It would have been strange if it actually found something.
It was also because this was the case that Lin Fan was hesitating on whether he should bring the Blood Restraining Stone back with him or not.
After all, this Blood Restraining Stone had developed intelligence as an artifact, which was why it was able to talk to him like this. Since it could talk to him, it was only natural that it would be able to talk to others as well.
That was where the problem was.
If he were to bring it back to the cultivation continent with him, he would have to explain where it was and how he had brought it back with him. If he were to hand this Blood Restraining Stone back to the Heavenly Demon Sect like it wanted, that was the same as exposing his secret.
So it was only natural that he wouldn’t be able to do this.
The more that Lin Fan thought about it, the more that he was certain that he should have as little to do with this Blood Restraining Stone as possible.
The less that it knew about him, the less danger he would be in.
But it seemed like the Blood Restraining Stone could tell that there was something off about Lin Fan as it said, “You don’t have to say it, I can already tell that this isn’t the cultivation continent. I have been here long enough that I’ve been able to figure this out.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the Blood Restraining Stone when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything since he could tell that there seemed to be something else that the Blood Restraining Stone wanted to say.
“This has to be some kind of secret realm, right?”
A wry smile appeared on Lin Fan’s face when he heard this.
Lin Fan just didn’t say anything in response as he continued looking at the Blood Restraining Stone for a bit.
After a while, he finally asked, “How did you exert your power over a large area like this?”
The Blood Restraining Stone made a sound when it heard this, almost as if it was showing pride because of this question. Then there was something that was lifted out of the ground and floated over to where Lin Fan was.
When he saw this, he couldn’t help being surprised.
After all, it was easy to tell that this was spiritual sense that was being used to lift up this thing.
As he looked closely at it, he could tell that this thing was an artifact just like the Blood Restraining Stone.
It really was strange seeing an artifact like the Blood Restraining Stone controlling another artifact like this, but it was even stranger to see the Blood Restraining Stone using spiritual sense like this.
After all, it wasn’t as if artifacts should have this kind of thing in the first place…
It seemed that the Blood Restraining Stone had gained more than just sentience, it seemed that the Blood Restraining Stone had most likely even gained the ability to cultivate.
That was the only way to explain how it was able to use spiritual sense like this.
The other thing that Lin Fan noticed was that there was a restraining effect coming from the artifact that the Blood Restraining Stone was showing him.
When he felt this sensation, he knew exactly what this thing was.
It was the thing that had been restraining his spiritual sense the entire time.
As if it could see the look on his face, the Blood Restraining Stone suddenly said, “As you expected, this thing is what I used to create this place. With this artifact, I could prevent people from searching this place with their spiritual sense. That allowed me to create an isolated place to protect myself from others. But anyone that sensed the spiritual sense restriction would be able to tell that there was something strange here and would come looking for me.”
It seemed that the Blood Restraining Stone had considered all these things before, which was why it had created this Forest of Death.
However, this was the magic continent.
It wasn’t as if people that recognized the spiritual sense restriction were common since they used a completely different system of power.
The more that Lin Fan thought about it, the more curious he was about how the Blood Restraining Stone had even made it to this place to begin with.
Still, there was something that was more urgent for him right now.
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan asked, “Do you have a way of helping me restrain this killing intent around me? I need to go back and report this matter before bringing you away, but this killing intent is restraining me from doing so.”
The voice of the Blood Restraining Stone immediately changed when it heard this.
It seemed to fill with excitement as if it was waiting to hear this.
“Of course, that’s what my job back in the Blood Sect was to begin with. This was the main reason that I was created. It would be my honour to help a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect refine his killing intent.”
Then in a softer voice, the Blood Restraining Stone acted, “It’s finally my chance to shine.”
It was as if the Blood Restraining Stone had been waiting for something like this for a long time with the way that it said this.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything in response as he waited to see what the Blood Restraining Stone would do. But then he couldn’t help knitting his brows as he felt the change with the killing intent.
The moment that he felt this, there was a trace of doubt that filled him.
“Please don’t resist and focus on refining the killing intent. I’ll slowly lower the degree of restraint on you, so you can just focus on refining it.” The Blood Restraining Stone said in a sincere voice.
Lin Fan still had some doubts, but he knew what the Blood Restraining Stone was referring to.
After all, he could feel the influence that the Blood Restraining Stone had on the killing intent around him.
It felt like the killing intent was getting stronger and breaking free from his control, but he could tell that most of it was still being restrained. It seemed like the Blood Restraining Stone had a good idea of how much killing intent would be too much for Lin Fan to handle.
As expected of a training tool that was used to help the former disciples of the Blood Sect refine their killing intent.
With this help, Lin Fan sat down and started refining that killing intent that wrapped around him. As he refined it, he could feel it coming under his control more and more.
But while this was happening, it also felt like there was more and more killing intent that was filling him. The Blood Restraining Stone was releasing the control that it had on the killing intent more and more, so that more of this killing intent assaulted him.
With how the Blood Restraining Stone was doing it, it really was perfect in controlling how much he had to deal with.
It seems like this was something that the Blood Restraining Stone really was familiar with handling.
Though it did introduce itself as a tool that had been in charge of this previously.
With the Blood Restraining Stone helping him, Lin Fan could feel the effect that the killing intent was having on him.
It wasn’t just about getting the killing intent under his control so that he would be able to use it. Lin Fan could tell that as he refined this killing intent, there was this spiritual energy that filled him that helped with his cultivation.
It seemed like there was this spiritual energy that was taken from those that he killed that came with this killing intent.
It was no wonder those from the Blood Sect had relied on this method of cultivation in the past.
However, to use this method of cultivation…
Lin Fan wasn’t surprised that he hadn’t heard of the Blood Sect previously.
This was a sect that had to kill to cultivate, so there was no doubt that they would have offended many people doing such a thing. As such, it was only normal that someone had most likely wiped them out even though they were under the Heavenly Demon Sect.
It was most likely the righteous sects of the Five Great Sects that had done this.
After all, it was only those righteous sects that would have the power to take on the Heavenly Demon Sect.
That also made it easier for Lin Fan to guess how the Blood Restraining Stone had made it to the magic continent.
