Chapter 349 – To Inherit

Lin Ming was silent. For a full hour, his mother had discussed marriage with him. As he remembered the hidden bitterness in her eyes, even he felt a headache coming on.
Lin Ming subconsciously tried to avoid love and marriage. This wasn’t because he had failed ins this field or before. Although Lin Ming was very sad when Lan Yunyue betrayed him, this sadness was more because of himself. He hated that he didn’t fight back, and he hated that he didn’t have the power to.
Now, these matters had been cleared long ago; it hadn’t even left much of a mark on Lin Ming’s mind.
Lin Ming would be lying to himself if he said that he didn’t have feelings towards Qin Xingxuan, because he did. However, he could not marry her, because he could not afford to shoulder this responsibility. He was destined to leave Sky Fortune Kingdom, leave the Divine Phoenix Province, leave the South Horizon Region, and break through the martial void.
This path was extremely dangerous. A single accident, a single misstep, and he would be doomed. It was impossible to bring Qin Xingxuan along this road, because she would die.
But if he didn’t bring Qin Xingxuan with him, and asked that she stay home with his mother, that would also be impossible, because it was just too unfair for her.
The only one with the ability to walk with him might be Mu Qianyu. If she was willing…
Huu!
A flame lit in Lin Ming’s room. This was a top sect’s specific sound transmitting talisman.
Mu Qianyu’s voice sounded in Lin Ming’s ear, speaking two messages.
First, Divine Phoenix Island would soon wage war with the South Sea Demon Region.
Second, he needed to return to Divine Phoenix Island within three months and enter the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm.
“Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm…” Lin Ming paused, he didn’t expect it to be so soon.
When Lin Ming was listed as the only heaven-step talent on the joint talent training program, he was able to enjoy treatment equal to a core disciple of Divine Phoenix Island, and he was also given an opportunity to enter the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm.
Lin Ming had asked Mu Qianyu just what the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm was. It wasn’t a testing zone that was set up by Divine Phoenix Island, but rather a wondrous place that was left behind by the ancient Phoenix Clan.
When one entered the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, there was a chance of dying. The chances weren’t high – it was only around 10%. But what was terrifying was that who lived and who died didn’t depend on strength, but seemed to be a matter of luck. There were no laws stating who would die or why. The strong could die, while the weak could live.
Of those that came out, some obtained advantages, some obtained increases in strength and cultivation, some obtained valuable materials, some obtained high-grade treasures, and there were even some that obtained the precious bloodline of Saint Beasts.
“Three months… I’ll have to see what the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm is like…” Lin Ming sat on a cushion and continued to practice the ‘Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle’, slowly consolidating his cultivation and refining out the pill toxins. Lin Ming’s essence gathering cultivation system now relied on the ‘Vermillion Bird Forbidden Divine Chronicle’. The ‘Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridians’ was only a Body Transformation cultivation method manual, and was no longer suited for him to practice at the Pulse Condensation period to reach a higher realm.
Like this, another two days passed. Every day, Lin Ming would leave his quiet room and pass time with his family and friends. This day, Lin Ming had just finished eating with his parents, and was playing chess with Lin Xiaodong, when he suddenly heard someone say, ”Lin Ming.”
When he looked back, he saw a splendidly dressed Qin Xingxuan. She was holding a tray of tea in her hands, and was standing against the brilliant sunset, beautifully smiling.
As Lin Xiaodong saw Qin Xingxuan, his plump face wrinkled in a cheap, sly grin, and he deliberately shouted out with great exaggeration, “Oh! I just remembered that I have something very important to do! I’ll be going first!”
As he said this, he speedily scurried away, leaving behind only an awkwardly smiling Qin Xingxuan. She slowly arranged the tea set on the stone table.
It was a lazy day. The sunlight of the bright spring afternoon shined down, glimmering. To sit in a garden pavilion with tea, having some refreshments, with a beauty pouring the tea and being able to view the flowers, this was a fairy-like life.
However, Lin Ming actually wasn’t able to enjoy any of this at the time. Instead, he was somewhat afraid…
Qin Xingxuan unhurriedly rinsed the teacups, steeping the tea. A light fragrance wafted out, refreshing the heart.
“Brother Lin, these past few days have been really distressing for you, right?” Qin Xingxuan whispered as she gently placed a teacup i
