Chapter 3: Aunt Ling

Shape Creation Realm, Minor Achievement!

A deeply resonant voice suddenly erupted from within Lin Langtian's body. His eyes surged with black light, sharp and domineering.

"Ahh."

Lin Langtian's eyes scanned around, and an immensely powerful aura slowly spread from his body. The strength of this aura was several times greater than before!

"Shape Creation Realm!"

Lin Langtian's eyes shone with uncontrollable joy. He hadn't expected to gain this benefit immediately after forming a bloodline link with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow.

Beneath Nirvana lies the three realms of Creation. This was a step into the empire's ranks of the powerful.

According to Lin Langtian's original pace, it would have taken at least several more months to truly break through the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit Realm and reach the Shape Creation Realm.

But this unexpected opportunity had drastically shortened that time.

If this news spread, his reputation as the top talent of the Lin Clan would surely be solidified, and his prestige greatly enhanced!

As for the primordial spirit devoured by the black flame earlier, Lin Langtian guessed correctly that it must have been the mysterious Master Mu.

In Lin Langtian's memories, this person was of mysterious origin and great strength. It was with his help that Lin Langtian gradually rose to become the top talent in the clan.

If his previous self had seen Master Mu being destroyed by the black flame, he would have been shocked and furious. After all, Master Mu had provided considerable assistance in his growth.

But the reborn Lin Langtian knew that Master Mu was not a righteous figure, and their relationship was merely one of mutual exploitation.

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow must have seen through Master Mu's deceitful intentions and thus destroyed him without hesitation.

Of course, it's also possible that the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow was too weak and needed to devour Master Mu to replenish its energy.

In any case, Lin Langtian felt no sense of loss over Master Mu's demise.

Without the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow to rely on, he might have played along with Master Mu to gain resources for growth, using each other mutually.

But now, after forming a bloodline link with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, Master Mu was insignificant and worthless.

"What is your name? Aren't you curious about me and this bloodline link?"

As Lin Langtian was contemplating, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, whose aura had slowly recovered slightly, looked at him with a cold gaze.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian bowed respectfully, saying, "I am Lin Langtian, of lowly strength. I only know that your power far exceeds my imagination.

As for your origin, if you wish to speak, I will listen attentively. If you do not wish to speak, I will not inquire further.

Regarding this bloodline link, although I do not fully understand its mysteries, I can sense that it is a special type of contract.

With it, you won't harm me, and I won't do anything detrimental to you. In this way, we can achieve mutual benefit and cooperation."

"You are quite intelligent…"

Seeing Lin Langtian remain so calm and composed, speaking thoughtfully, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow looked at him in surprise, then a hint of admiration flashed in its eyes.

"Since that's the case, I will tell you. I am the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, from the noble Nine Nether Flame Sparrow Clan. The distance between our clan and this place is too far, so you don't need to know much more." The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow said faintly.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian pretended to be shocked and nodded.

He knew quite a bit about the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow Clan, but since the other party considered him ignorant, he wouldn't show off.

Although they had formed a bloodline link, the disparity in strength was still too great, so he remained cautious.

"As for why I ended up here…" the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's eyes flashed with anger as it continued.

"In a distant continent, I discovered a treasure and fought a powerful being from the Ancient Skyhawk Clan over it.

Unfortunately, the Skyhawk Clan's expert was formidable. In desperation, I chose mutual destruction. I thought I would perish, but unexpectedly, I drifted to this continent and ended up in your body.

Seeing that we were fated and my essence was about to dissipate, I formed a bloodline link with you, tying our lives together."

At the end, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's face showed a trace of discomfort. For a proud Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, forming a bloodline link with a human was somewhat degrading, even humiliating.

But at that critical moment, without the bloodline link providing crucial life energy, it would have already dissipated.

Now it had to accept this result. Once it regained its peak strength, it would try to break the link.

As for Lin Langtian, it would just compensate him more later...

Hearing the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's words, Lin Langtian was somewhat surprised.

In his memory, his soul had traversed the Great Thousand World and inexplicably merged with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's essence, then arrived at the Tianxuan Continent, occupying Lin Langtian's body.

However, it seemed the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow had been asleep during this process and wasn't aware of it, mistaking him for the real Lin Langtian of the Tianxuan Continent.

Thinking this, Lin Langtian's expression changed slightly, but he had no intention of explaining.

His rebirth was an extremely strange event even in the Great Thousand World, and this wasn't a world of cultivation and immortals.

Since it was inexplicable, he would keep it a secret.

From now on, he was the true Lin Langtian!

"By the way, you don't hate me for devouring that primordial spirit in your body, do you?" The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow asked again.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian snapped back to reality and smiled, "Of course not. That primordial spirit, Master Mu, was a powerful being I encountered by chance. Although he helped me a lot, I could tell he was just using me.

Since you destroyed him, you must have seen through his malicious intent. I would naturally not hold a grudge."

"Oh? If you knew his intentions, why did you still cooperate with him? Were you not afraid of making deals with a tiger?" The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's eyes flashed as it asked.

"Risk comes with reward. Coming from a humble background, I had to take the chance. The universe is vast; for a glimmer of hope, I was willing to use myself as a pawn!" Lin Langtian said firmly.

Hearing this, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow looked at Lin Langtian in surprise.

As a noble Nine Nether Flame Sparrow, it had seen countless geniuses in its life, not considering even the top talents of this continent worth mentioning.

But Lin Langtian, though of average talent, gave it a different feeling.

Perhaps this youth from a lower plane might bring it a significant surprise?

Shaking its head, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow discarded this unrealistic thought and said, "Since you want to see the vast world, I can help you.

Now that we are linked by blood, you can use some of my abilities. If used well, you can easily defeat those of the same level and even higher levels.

However, you need to do something for me in return. I am severely injured and need some supplements."

"What kind of supplements?" Lin Langtian asked.

"Essence spirits, the higher the grade of the beast, the better." The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow said, feeling weak again. "I'm too severely injured and need to sleep again. The matter of the high-grade beast essence spirits should be handled as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Lin Langtian quickly nodded, then asked, "How should I address you?"

"Call me... Aunt Ling."

With that, the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow's aura weakened and it fell into a deep sleep...
