Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 157 - 156: A Universe

Chapter 157: Chapter 156: A Universe

Cold, indifferent words echoed in the dimly lit alleyway.

The stunned Lan Louming jolted to attention, snapped out of shock, looked towards Lin Hao’s retreating figure, and hesitated to speak.

He glanced at the several corpses strewn about the alley and could not help but swallow his saliva.

"This guy, what does he need protection for."

Deep in his heart, Lan Louming was extremely astonished; an eighteen-year-old youth able to achieve this was truly rare in the world.

"Buzz."

At that moment, a cellphone vibrating sound emitted from the alley.

Lan Louming looked over, saw Yi Lingchuan’s corpse not far away, walked over, took the vibrating cell phone from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the speaker button to answer the call.

"President Yi, I’ve found out what you asked me to look into." A voice came through from the other end of the phone, "The Xu Family... The Xu family has been completely annihilated."

"The one who destroyed the Xu family is a student from Binhai University, Cold Noble, Lin Hao; and the same person who drove away the Gu Family."

"Elder Jin... he has also unfortunately passed away; I have his body and am preparing to have it sent back to the Mingyang Sect."

The voice on the phone was cautious, as if afraid that others might overhear.

Holding the phone, Lan Louming’s hands could not help but tremble violently.

"President Yi?" Having received no response, a puzzled shout came from the other end, "President Yi, are you still there?"

Lan Louming said nothing and hung up the phone.

At this moment, the disdain and contempt for Lin Hao that had been in his eyes had completely dissipated, leaving only utter shock.

Somehow, he felt his heartbeat quickening.

He knew about the Xu family.

Unexpectedly, they had been exterminated, wiped out by an eighteen-year-old youth...

After a long silence, Lan Louming’s emotions slowly settled down, he took a deep breath and said, "This youth is not simple."

"However, even so, wanting to take away the young lady, he’s still out of his depth, it’s a pity, such a genius, yet bound for death..."

He took out his cellphone, dialed a number, and soon people appeared in the alley, cleaning up the corpses thoroughly.

"These people are from the Mingyang Sect and the Song Family, return the bodies to them, tell them it won’t be long before the Lan Family has a wedding, and they will be invited, you know what to say," Lan Louming said indifferently.

"Yes."

A person nodded among the several behind him, made a gesture, and several quietly vanished with the bodies.

The alley returned to its peaceful state, and Lan Louming, with furrowed brows, also disappeared into the darkness.

...

Back home, Lin Hao indeed saw the Ru Yuan Sword, lying quietly on the bed.

Lin Hao picked it up, threw it into the Void Ring with the Cold Blade, took a shower, and started cultivating.

To take Lan Xiyue back, immense strength was necessary.

This time, he was able to kill Song Decai because of surprise, Cold Blade, and his millennia of insights into the Way of the Sword.

It was only with these three opportunities that he could slay a Cultivator nearing the Martial Artist Peak; otherwise, even if he was an Immortal Emperor in his previous life, he could not have shaken his opponent in the slightest.

In the face of absolute power, all tricks and techniques are futile.

From today’s situation, it is clear that Lan Xiyue’s family must be a colossal entity.

And the person she is set to marry is bound to be stronger than her family, not weaker.

Therefore, he must become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger, can he take Lan Xiyue back!

Now.

Lin Hao has already reached the Martial Artist Peak; from Martial Artist to Grandmaster, two essential conditions are required.

One is the Cultivation Technique, and the other is the Primordial Stone.

Cultivation Technique, also known as mental method, can organize and unify the scattered Primordial Qi within one’s body in an orderly manner, making the process of cultivation much more effective, akin to the multiplication table in mathematics.

The second is Primordial Stone.

Whether it is in the Mortal World or any other Plane, Primordial Stone is an extremely important thing. Relying solely on the sparse Primordial Qi in the air, one would never be able to achieve much even until death.

In other words, the Primordial Stone is the energy source of a Cultivator.

Lin Hao sat cross-legged in the center of the bed, his mind flashing through various profound and unparalleled mental methods that had once dominated the world and produced unparalleled experts.

His mind was like a library, storing thousands of mental methods.

He was making a choice.

In his previous life, his path of cultivation was based on groping around blindly, and at that time, he understood nothing. He made significant mistakes in the selection of mental methods, which later required him to constantly make improvements, wasting a lot of time.

He would naturally not make the same mistakes as he did in his previous life.

"Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique, I choose you."

Lin Hao’s mind conjured up an ancient and unadorned mental method.

Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique.

Lin Hao was unwilling to dwell on the events before his rebirth, but the memories emerged involuntarily when he thought of it.

Back then, a grand ancient tomb emerged, rumored to contain a profound treasure that shook the entire Eternal Life Realm, attracting all the giants.

He went too.

After numerous twists and turns, he acquired two treasures in the end.

One of them was a Cultivation Technique.

The other was a tripod with three legs and two ears, containing universes within and filled with endless mysteries.

Regrettably, he didn’t have the chance to study it thoroughly before an accident occurred.

It was this accident that led to his rebirth.

Lin Hao did not want to dwell on the past. Unfortunately for that tripod, someone else benefited.

He shook his head and began cultivating the Swallowing Heaven Technique.

As the mental method entered his body, subtle changes occurred in Lin Hao’s physique. Shortly, a black vortex emerged in his Dantian, like an endless black hole.

Inside his body, his internal organs radiated various colors of light, rotating autonomously and functioning like planets in the cosmos.

"Is it really this miraculous?" Lin Hao was shocked, despite having been an Immortal Emperor in his previous life; seeing the state of his body, he could no longer remain calm.

A mere Cultivation Technique transformed his body into an entire cosmos.

"The creator of the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique, could they possibly be a god? They’ve managed to integrate cosmic truths into this small Cultivation Technique."

Lin Hao was unsettled.

He had once been an Immortal Emperor, but his understanding of the cosmic principles was merely superficial. He had not assumed that there would be someone in this world capable of simulating the cosmos’s workings through a Cultivation Technique.

It was hard to imagine what his body would evolve into as his strength increased in the future.

"What a pity for that tripod." Lin Hao felt melancholic; if the Cultivation Technique was already considered a treasure, that tripod was surely stronger.

Unfortunately, such a thing couldn’t possibly be reborn with him.

Two hours later.

The sky had fully brightened, and the morning sun rose slowly. Lin Hao also opened his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes, his dark pupils were like two vast cosmos, unfathomably deep with thousands of stars twinkling within.

However, this spectacle vanished in a moment, and Lin Hao returned to his usual appearance.

Today, he would report to the Inner Courtyard of Binhai University.

There are also some Primordial Stones stored in the Inner Courtyard.

Perhaps those Primordial Stones could help him advance to Grandmaster.

After freshening up, he changed into a fresh and spirited casual outfit, looking like a young man stepping out into the world for the first time, heading to the school.

[About Cultivation Techniques, I know you guys don’t like reading them, so I’ve tried to keep it to a minimum, as it comes with the territory of the book... umm... I’m asking for your recommendation tickets, aaah!]
