But Xintong was born in the Lin clan, which had an old heritage. With the support of the Lin clan, she could consume fire elemental desolate beast relics. With the fire elemental relics’ pure Yang, she was able to combat the chilling cold within her body.
Although living a long life wasn’t a problem, for cultivation it was a different story. A person born with Yin Meridians could never completely open up her meridians during the Meridian realm. A latent danger would result from this realm. It would also be harder to cultivate to a higher realm, and the higher it was, the more difficult it was. Eventually, a bottleneck was reached!
Although having Yin Meridians was a curse, there are always exceptions. Legends tell of a human female emperor who had Yin Meridians during ancient times. She had used her own strength to connect her meridians. When the Yin Meridian is connected again, an unknown transformation would happen. However, this was poorly documented in the history books.
Lin Xintong’s master was this fat elder. He had tried to connect up Lin Xintong’s broken meridians, but from the ancient methods left by Desolate Heaven Masters, none of them were successful. Those ancient methods were arcane and obscure. Be it the ingredients or the refinement techniques, they were too confusing for the old fat man, resulting in abysmal results. The fat elder cared for his disciple and had tried all sorts of methods while wandering the vast wilderness, but to no avail.
“Master, don’t sigh. Although I have Yin Meridians, with the fire elemental bone relics, I can live for at least three hundred years. I’m much more blessed than other commoners.” The young girl having born from a clan with ancient heritage never worried about her meals and had seen all sorts of treasures. But over the years of wandering the wilderness, her experience taught her the hardships of the world. She knew how commoners struggled in this world. This made her sympathetic. Indeed, although she had Yin Meridians, she was much more blessed than the commoners by thousands of times.
The girl swallowed the bone relic that she had just completed refining. A bone relic refined from fierce beasts was poorer in quality to a desolate bone relic. However, few warriors actually ate desolate bone relics. It was enough to eat fierce beast relics, as it took a long time to refine a desolate bone relic.
“Up ahead, we will enter the territory of the Lian tribal clan. Hmm, this Lian tribal clan is a small tribe of less than a thousand households. We don’t really have to enter.” said the fat elder as he took out a map made of rubber. He unfurled it and while looking at it said happily, “This map is all thanks to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s Ling Long Wei. They created a new map. Originally the map of the Cloud Wilderness had not been updated in eight hundred years. Many small tribes had changed positions. An old map would not have all this indications.”
Lin Xintong looked at her master’s map, provoking a sense of doubt within her. To make a map of the Cloud Wilderness was a thankless and pointless job. Those small tribes were as many as the sand grains of the five Ganges Rivers. It was unknown which tribe would collapse, giving birth to a new one. Such a detailed map required a great deal of effort to draw, but it would be useless in about a hundred years.
Connecting it to the recent ongoings of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom in the Cloud Wilderness, Lin Xintong asked, “Master, why did we travel from afar to come to the Cloud Wilderness on purpose? Also, I heard that the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom has sent the Ling Long Wei here, in preparation for the warrior selection in the Cloud Wilderness soon. It requires a lot of effort to hold a warrior selection in the vast wilderness, so why did the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom do it?”
“Is the reason why we are here in the Cloud Wilderness related to the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s selection?”
