Chapter 406: Great Empress Relic
Due to Shen Tu Nantian’s spiritual injuries as well as Shen Tu Hai and Shen Tu Feng also being wounded, the first day of the Desolate Heaven technique tea session, which was supposed to end at sunset, came to an early conclusion.
Shen Tu Nantian was supposed to be the star of the Desolate Heaven technique tea session. The Shen Tu family clan had intended to use the tea session to let Shen Tu Nantian build a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Lin family. At the same time, they planned for him to display his abilities, letting the old fellows of the Lin family realize his awesomeness.
However with the situation like this, all the song and dance that had been planned for the stage was devastated. The Shen Tu family clan did not feel proud about it.
The Desolate Heaven technique showdown between the older generation, which was to be the main highlight, was delayed to three days later.
After the tea session ended, the Shen Tu family clan gathered a few of their Elders to analyze what had gone wrong at the last moment in Shen Tu Nantian’s Four Images Seal.
However, even after analyzing it all day, they still could not figure anything out.
This was quite demanding for them, as besides the Thousand Hand Granny, the others had never come into contact with the Four Images Seal.
Furthermore, Shen Tu Nantian, the person directly involved, could only give a vague description of what happened.
This made the Thousand Hand Granny’s old face scrunch up.
Her greatest fear was that there was a problem with the heritage.
As it was a heritage obtained by them in a mystic realm, the Four Images Seal was definitely part of an ancient Desolate Heaven technique heritage. There was no doubt to that. However, what the Thousand Hand Granny feared was whether the Four Images Seal required the use of other Desolate Heaven techniques in combination with it.
In the martial world, there was no lack of cultivation technique manuals which required another cultivation technique as a foundation. Without the foundation, problems ranging from damaging one’s Yuan Qi to suffering a qidong deviation could occur.
As to whether there was someone who caused Shen Tu Nantian’s Four Images Seal to fail, the Thousand Hand Granny never even entertained the thought. At the tea session, there were so many experts watching. With countless numbers of eyes and spiritual energies pervading the square, who could have the ability to bypass the perceptions of all of them and secretly sabotage it?
…
As the Shen Tu family clan’s Elders were racking their brains trying to figure out what went wrong with the Four Images Seal, the culprit Yi Yun was at the Lin family’s Silk peak, participating in a victory party.
Actually, with Yi Yun’s personality, he would not be interested in such celebration parties. The time was better off spent cultivating.
However, Su Jie had made it clear that the Matriarch held the party because of the Desolate Heaven technique tea session. And Yi Yun was the star of the party. If the star did not participate, then the party would lose its meaning.
As Yi Yun was still new to the Lin family, it was best to keep a low profile. If Yi Yun rejected the invitation the Matriarch sent, then it would inevitably lead to widespread criticism of him not being able to appreciate favors.
The Silk peak was not one of the Lin family’s eighteen main peaks. It was a small mountain situated in the external perimeter of the main peaks. The Silk peak was about half the height of the other eighteen main peaks, but there were plenty of spiritual flowers there, and these flowers grouped together like silk, giving Silk peak its name.
Other than some miscellaneous events being held at Silk peak, not many of the family’s disciples stayed here. Whenever there were any internal family celebrations, they would be held on Silk peak.
At this moment, in the opulent Silk Palace by the slope of the Silk peak, there were hundreds of people gathered. There were a few of the Lin family Elders amongst them. The others were all juniors about the same age as Yi Yun.
And amongst the few Elders, there was Yi Yun’s cheap master, Su Jie, and the Lin family’s Matriarch.
The Matriarch held a dragon-head walking stick and had her white hair was pulled back in a bun. Her hair bun was adorned with a piece of jade and she was giving Yi Yun a loving smile.
“Little friend Yun, welcome to the Lin family. Your master Su Jie is the Lin family’s guest Elder, so you can treat the Lin family as your own home and do not need to feel restrained.”
When the surrounding juniors heard the Matriarch’s simple words, they were secretly envious of Yi Yun.
The Lin family had many disciples, and many of them were part of their direct bloodline, yet most of them had never received the chance to directly speak to the Matriarch.
And now, the Matriarch was especially warm towards Yi Yun at the Lin family’s celebration party. The treatment she g
