"Soul refinement?" Li Yunmu subconsciously asked.
"That's right, my dead teacher was once a 3-star Realm Master, so I'm a little familiar with the Star Realm. I just so happened to have grasped the method of fusing the soul with the Star Realm. My soul was then fused into the Star Realm by my dead teacher. After he died, I became free."
"Previously, when I pretended to be dead to ambush you, I believed that your heavenly world had just been born. I hadn't expected that you would have already stepped into the threshold of the lowest world master realm. Thus, your heavenly world can accept soul refinement. Li Yunmu, as long as you let me live, even if I have to refine my soul into your heavenly world and sell everything I have to you, I am willing to do so. I only have one request, and that is to let me live." Lin Jian had completely abandoned everything. Li Yunmu didn't know why he was so determined to live.
"System, what did he mean by soul refinement? How trustworthy are his words? "Li Yunmu quickly pondered while inquiring the system about it.
"According to the deep scan of his brain waves and monitoring, the credibility of what he said just now is 90%. According to the limited knowledge that the System has grasped, fusing the soul with the Astral World should be a very high-level attribution-type contract method," the System replied after a while.
"Be more specific, what is the use of soul refinement? Also, why are you so determined to live? I believe that a powerhouse known as Blade Overlord shouldn't be someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death," Li Yunmu continued to ask.
"You have already stepped into the threshold of a one heavenly world master, yet you still don't know about soul refinement? Seems like the guesses of some people in the outside world aren't wrong. The mysterious Li Sect behind you really doesn't exist, "Li Qinghong said with astonishment.
However, Li Yunmu didn't reply to her. Whether the mysterious Li Sect existed or not, he didn't need to worry about it being discovered by the two of them. As long as they remained in their heavenly world, this secret wouldn't leak out.
"Soul Refinement is to brand my soul on your Astral World. From now on, everything on my body will be branded with the mark of your Astral World. Anything I do, including my thoughts, will not be able to escape your grasp. So much so that you can kill me with a single thought. Unless I, Lin Jian, step into the Flawless realm of a Battle Saint, only then will I be able to break free from the soul brand on your Astral World. Otherwise, I will forever be a person of your Astral World."
Lin Jian paused for a moment, then continued in a somewhat gloomy voice, "As for why I want to continue living, it is because I have yet to avenge my great enmity. I am not willing to die like this …" Following Lin Jian's narration, Li Yunmu gradually learned about the bloody history of this person known as Blade Overlord. He hadn't expected that his life would be so full of frustrations.
"I hadn't expected that you would surprisingly come from Bladewood. Extraordinary, truly extraordinary. Then which sage of Bladewood was your teacher?" Li Yunmu was startled by Blade Overlord Lin Jian's origin.
The legendary Bladewood was not a sect, but it surpassed sects.
In the six continents, apart from sects, there was also a power that stood at the peak of the world. This power of sects was known as transcending powers.
It was an existence that surpassed all major powers and organizations. The War God Temple of the Central Continent was one of them.
The existence of Bladewood, a transcending power, was the second. However, it didn't originate from the Central Continent, but rather from the Higher Dimensional Continent. The Higher Dimensional Continent was a disaster area where dimensional meteors fell from the sky before the Dark Ages. Even now, the real world of this continent was filled with countless dimensional lifeforms.
Some were weak, while some were terrifyingly strong. Because of this, the Higher Dimensional Continent was the continent with the least number of humans among the six continents of humanity. On this continent, ordinary people had basically lost the soil to survive. Those who were able to survive were basically all powerful experts.
They weren't ordinary humans, but rather fluxers. Their combat strength was extremely formidable. Bladewood, a transcending power, originated from the Higher Dimensional Continent.
It was said that Bladewood was the only sacred land in the Higher Dimensional Continent. It was the only pure land that wasn't threatened by the dimensional lifeforms of the continent.
As for the criteria for a transcending power, there were only three!
The first criterion was that the people of transcending powers only existed in this world and didn't come out into the world.
They didn't get involved in the affairs of any organization with authority in the six continents. The people among them only focused on advancing towards the peak of the martial path.
The second criterion was that the existence of a transcending power had a Battle Sage suppressing it. It had to be a Battle Sage of the present generation, not a Battle Sage who had perished in this world.
The third criterion was that the transcending power must have at least ten Flux Sages and above as well as four Domain Sages to suppress all the regions.
Li Yunmu had asked Lin Jian which Domain Sage was his teacher. After all, a Flux Sage who hadn't congealed a domain sage didn't have the qualifications to be called a senior. Only those who were above Domain Sage could be considered as a senior in a certain domain.
"My dead teacher was the previous generation's Underworld Blade Sage. He perished in some ancient ruins in the Seventh Dimension," Lin Jian said calmly.
"Then you betrayed Bladewood? Are you being chased by Bladewood? "
"No, Bladewood doesn't allow its disciples to meddle in the secular world. I, Lin Jian, couldn't let go of my hatred, so I voluntarily left Bladewood. The ones who are chasing me are my enemies."
"Good, your honesty will allow you to continue living." Li Yunmu remained silent for a long time before making his final decision.
This Lin Jian was definitely a fierce person. He was the disciple of the previous generation's sage of Bladewood. If he hadn't been obsessed with his feud, then he would still be standing at the peak of the younger generation of the six continents.
Compared to the heavens' proud sons and geniuses Li Yunmu had heard before, Lin Jian was much more ferocious. If his soul refining method could be realized, then why would Li Yunmu miss such a fierce person?
Li Yunmu had discovered that his future path was destined to be paved with thistles and thorns. He would have numerous enemies everywhere, and it would be extremely difficult for a single person to play around in this world.
Moreover, if he wanted to congeal twelve stars, then he would have to develop his own power. However, given the system's foundation, ordinary elites with ordinary combat strength would find it difficult to enter his eyes. Lin Jian, who had come from Bladewood, was extremely suitable for this purpose.
"Seems like I don't have any other choice. If I want to continue living, then I can only choose to fuse my soul with the heavenly world." Lin Qinghong was an intelligent woman. Since Li Yunmu had made his stand, she knew that she wouldn't be able to escape.
"I won't force you, so you can choose for yourselves." Li Yunmu revealed his stance. Even if the two of them were the most outstanding among them, Li Yunmu would rather have none than a substandard choice.
"Then I will begin." Lin Jian was quite decisive. He immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his five senses, and began to chant the secret method to fuse his soul with the heavenly world.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Qinghong also followed Lin Jian's footsteps. She also began to use the secret method to fuse her soul with the heavenly world.
Before long, Li Yunmu saw a small figure floating above the heads of the two people. Once it left their bodies, it was attracted by the heavenly world above their heads and began to ascend. Finally, it entered the heavenly world which Li Yunmu had just congealed.
This small figure was actually the soul brand of the two people, the source of their souls.
Instantly, Li Yunmu understood that the words of the two people were correct. Fusing their souls with the heavenly world was tantamount to them being branded in their heavenly world. Everything about them would be bound to the heavenly world, and as long as they didn't enter the battle sage realm, they would never be able to remove the brand.
