Cosmic Trading System-Chapter 738 - 695: Nanweng Appears Again
The importance of the Heavenly Principle Fruit was significant.
Unable to participate in the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition, Lin Yun felt considerable regret.
But more than that, he was filled with guilt.
He knew that Xiao Chong was immensely powerful, and if he participated in the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition, he would likely obtain a Heavenly Principle Fruit.
Now, Xiao Chong was on the brink of the Super Realm, and this Heavenly Principle Fruit could potentially propel him into that realm.
However, now, because of him, Xiao Chong could not participate in the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition, and this debt of gratitude was substantial.
Yes, a debt of gratitude.
The journey through the Ninth Level Civilization Star Domain made Lin Yun realize that their current strength was very weak. If not for encountering Xiao Chong and Lianshan’s party, who also helped them, they might have perished here.
This could be considered a life-saving favor.
However, Lin Yun knew very well that the reason why Xiao Chong, Lianshan, and their party helped them so much, was entirely because they believed them to be from the "Immortal Origin Holy Land".
Yet, Lin Yun knew that they did not originate from the "Immortal Origin Holy Land".
What’s more, they even had some conflicts with the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
If Xiao Chong and the others learned about this, he didn’t know how they would react... their deceit brought even more guilt towards Xiao Chong and his party.
They were risking their lives, but he had deceived them.

Although it wasn’t intentional deception, it was indeed the case.
"I can only... make up for it when I get the chance..."
Lin Yun muttered to himself.
However, he wasn’t confident about this idea.
Even combined with Xia Qingqing’s strength, they were among the weakest in this group.
Both he and Xia Qingqing had used the Cosmic Trading System to enhance their strength too many times; he wasn’t sure how unstable their foundation had become.
The Cosmic Trading System could only enhance a person’s strength to the Mid Term Realm of twelfth level at most.
Originally, they had a chance to secure the Heavenly Principle Fruit to eliminate the instability of their foundation.
But now, they had lost that chance as well.
He lacked confidence in when he could train to the late stage of the twelfth level, let alone the peak of the twelfth level, not to mention whether he could reach the Super Realm in this lifetime.
Without sufficient strength, how could he compensate Xiao Chong and his party?
"For cultivators at our level, it is not easy to rank in the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition. I reckon I won’t be capable," Xiao Chong said with a smile, seeming not to care much about the missed opportunity.
Thousands of years ago, the sacred person of the Immortal Origin Holy Land gave a sermon, attracting the powerful from various clans. There he saw many talented individuals. Some half-step Super Realm geniuses were not much weaker than him. He wasn’t sure if others were hiding their strength. So these words he spoke, honestly, were not modesty.
Compared to him, he had more confidence in Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing. Lin Yun’s ability to fight beyond his level needed no explanation. At just the mid-term of the twelfth level, he already possessed the power of an average half-step Super Warrior. That was very rare; at least, he hadn’t seen it before.
Xia Qingqing was a practitioner of the mental type, much stronger than the average mental type practitioner. Her soul attacks, straightforward and robust, were hard to counter even for some gifted cultivators. Even Lin Yun, possessing the strength comparable to an average half-step Super Warrior, could not say for sure he could defeat Xia Qingqing.
Therefore, Xia Qingqing also had a considerable chance of ranking.
Yet, hearing Xiao Chong’s words, Lin Yun’s guilt deepened further.
He thought Xiao Chong was trying to comfort him.
...
After another round of idle talk.
"Brother Xiao, Xia Qingqing, Mengmeng and I are going to practice now. I wonder if..." Lin Yun said, looking at Xiao Chong.
All this while, they hadn’t encountered any situations, and the chances of the Super Warriors finding them in a short time were minimal.
It would be better to make good use of the time to cultivate.
The battles earlier had given him some insights. If he could cultivate now, he could retain a significant part of the benefits.
"There hasn’t been any trouble for so long, and I believe it will be the same shortly. I can handle the battleship alone. You all go and practice, and if there’s anything, I will call you!" Xiao Chong nodded and said.
Lin Yun, along with Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng, were the youngest in the group, so every minute of their cultivation was crucial. However, this wasn’t just for Lin Yun, Xia Qingqing, and Lin Mengmeng, but also for Qing Luo, Lianshan, and the others.
Anyway, he alone could manage the battleship and didn’t need anyone else.
"The fight earlier has given me some insights. Thank you, Brother Xiao," Qing Luo said somewhat bashfully.
"Brother Xiao, we’ll count on you." Lianshan said.
Soon, everyone scattered.
In a practice room.
"Hum—"
Lin Yun closed his eyes, emitting his mental strength, connecting with nature.
Waves of colossal energy gathered from all around him and poured rapidly into his body.
Soon, he entered a state of cultivation.
"Martial Arts Realm Eleven, Life Realm; Martial Arts Realm Twelve, Death Realm; One life, one death, seemingly simple, but embodying the universe’s most basic, most profound, most essential regulations… Yin and Yang were repelled; Martial Arts were divided into life and death; Yin and Yang were interdependent, and so Martial Arts were birthed from the rules… The Twelve Martial Arts Realms seemed to have attained a high level of comprehension in the Death Realm, reaching the Super Realm.
Perhaps the Super Realm was when Yin and Yang created life, the realm where the results of the principles came into being?"
Lin Yun pondered in his heart.
Though he was only in the Mid Term Realm of the Twelfth Stage, he began to contemplate the principles of the Super Realm.
Ironwood Ancestor, at the pinnacle of the Half Step Super Warriors, had slightly probed into the realm of these principles. Gweah, a Super Warrior, was the embodiment of these principles, and the previous confrontations with other Super Warriors... Lin Yun found himself with a lot of ideas which he was currently confirming.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Lin Yun might not have realized that as he mulled over these principles, his soul was rapidly transforming.
It was as if something deep within his soul was being sublimated.
At the same time, his soul became even more potent.
As days rolled by.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
In this week, everything had been quiet.
"Huh?"
One day, Xiao Chong suddenly lifted his head to look ahead.
Whoosh—
Somewhere in the distance, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching, moving at incredible speed.
"What’s this?"
Xiao Chong’s face changed slightly; his intuition told him that the owner of this powerful aura was not to be trifled with.
"Everyone, exit your cultivation immediately!"
Xiao Chong quickly transmitted his voice to the others who were in their closed-door cultivation.
"Boom—"
Then, after only one or two breaths, the owner of this powerful aura flew close by. In the starry sky, waves after waves of trembling energy could be felt.
"The Bloodthirsty Demon, Nanweng!"
Xiao Chong turned white and blurted out.
At this moment, he could clearly perceive the aura of this person. It was the Bloodthirsty Demon Nanweng, whom they had encountered not too long ago.
This revelation sent shivers down Xiao Chong’s spine and made his heart sink.
Through their discussions over the past few days, they had drawn some conclusions.
They believed that Nanweng didn’t kill them back then and even helped them fend off the attacks of Super Warriors not out of kindness.
Initially, Nanweng was probably wary of their backgrounds. Later on, he seemed to have used them to divert the Eastern Emperor and others’ forces.
Finally, Nanweng displayed a hint of killing intent towards them, which they also sensed.
Now that they had encountered him again, weren’t they in grave danger?
"The Bloodthirsty Demon!"
"Nanweng!"
"Why has he come?"
At this moment, Lin Yun and his team spurred out of their practice rooms. They also sensed the approaching aura and were taken aback by their findings.
