In the blink of an eye, Linley had been in a coma for eight years. His originally tall stature had grown a bit in these eight years, but not by much. After all, he had been lying in bed for eight years and could only eat liquid food for eight years. Furthermore, he had not been forced to eat. Otherwise … even a martial general would have starved to death in eight years.
In these eight years, many things had happened in the Yan Country, especially the Lin family. Originally, the Lin family was a powerful family in the Yan Country. However, because of Lin Ray's coma and the invasion of the neighboring countries, three of the four sons of the Lin family died on the battlefield, including Lin Ray's father, Lin Feng.
In the entire Lin family, only Si was left. Most importantly, in the entire Lin family, only Lin Ray was the direct descendant. Coincidentally, Lin Ray had been in a coma for eight years, and this had become the Lin family's weakness.
The overall strength of the Lin family had declined, and the old man's health was deteriorating day by day. He was sad about his son's death and worried about his grandson's coma. His life was very difficult.
In comparison, the Yan Kingdom royalty discriminated against the Lin family. What was the use of a general's family that was useless to the country? If they wanted to use this to nurture a family, they could use the Lin family as a springboard.
Just like that, with the matter of the Fire Country's Imperial Family, all the big and small family clans in the Fire Country began to create all kinds of difficulties for the Lin Family, regardless whether it was in the military or in the business world, which made the Lin Family feel highly helpless and depressed.
At the same time, they were bitterly disappointed by these ingrates. When the Lin family was doing well, they were eager to curry favor with them. Now that the Lin family was in trouble, they wanted to step forward and trample on them. No one wanted to give up such an opportunity.
In these eight years, Lin Ray did not wake up. His condition was the same as before, and he was sweating profusely.
"My son, when will you wake up? Your mother … your mother misses you," Huo Yun looked to her son who was lying on the bed. She was unable to stop her tears from flowing down.
At this moment, Huo Yun's appearance was completely different from eight years ago. She had changed a lot. Eight years ago, Huo Yun was one of the top beauties. Even if she was not devastatingly beautiful, she was still very beautiful. But now, half of her hair had turned white, and her face was ashen. Her entire person was filled with sorrow.
"Sigh, your father … your father has passed away. Mother is only left with you. If you … if you also pass away, then … then what should I do?!"
"Madam, don't be like this. Isn't Big Brother Lin Ray fine? Furthermore, you must believe that Big Brother Lin Ray will wake up one day, "a girl comforted Huo Yun with her eyes looking forward.
Hearing this, Huo Yun wiped away the tears on her face. She looked at the girl and nodded. "Sigh, Yunxi, it's been hard on you all these years. You can't see to begin with, yet you still have to accompany Ray. Truly …"
A hint of guilt emerged. The girl was none other than the Gu family's brother and sister, Gu Yunxi, who had been brought back to the Lin family.
When she was brought back to the Lin family, she was arranged to stay by Lin Ray's side. It was not for any other reason, but because she was afraid of being bored, she wanted someone to talk to.
Originally, she thought that Lin Ray would wake up after a short period of time. Who would have thought that it would take eight years?
As for Gu Yunxi's brother, Gu Jun, she was arranged to stay in the military camp. After eight years of nurturing by the Lin family, Gu Jun had already made a name for himself in the military camp. Now, he was even accepted as a deputy general by Si Lin Zhi.
In comparison, the Gu family's brother and sister were especially grateful to Lin Ray. If it wasn't for him, the two of them would have either starved to death, frozen to death, or been beaten to death by others. In any case, their ending wouldn't have been as good as it was now.
"Madam, I'm not suffering." Hearing Huo Yun's words, Yunxi hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands. "If it wasn't for Big Brother Lin Ray back then, I don't know how my life would have been like with Big Brother."
"Now that Big Brother is reporting on his work in the military camp, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing, we siblings are content. As for accompanying Big Brother Lin Ray, I'm willing to do it. I sincerely hope that Big Brother Lin Ray will wake up soon."
"Ai, I hope so!" Huo Yun's expression darkened. Although she said this, she didn't have any hope that her son would wake up.
It had been eight years. Eight years without any movement. She didn't think that after eight years, he would suddenly wake up one day. If that happened, she was willing to shorten her lifespan by twenty years.
"Okay, you can go back in a bit. I'll go take a look at the front hall. I heard that the old man from the Huangfu family came today. I'll go take a look."
"Okay, Madam." Yunxi nodded obediently and didn't say anything else.
Seeing Yunxi being so obedient, Huo Yun felt guilty. She didn't think about it anymore, shook her head, and left Lin Ray's room.
In the space, a young man was lying on the ground. His whole body was surrounded by a purple aura. His aura was stable and there wasn't the slightest bit of weakness.
What was strange was that there was another young man beside the young man. The two of them looked very similar. Of course, apart from the slightly different aura, they were the same person.
Looking at the person lying on the ground, Linley couldn't help but laugh bitterly to himself. "Eight years. I really didn't expect that it would take you eight years to digest a bit of Yours Truly's memories. If I had known, I would've told you to improve your physique first. Perhaps you would've finished in three days."
The young man on the ground was none other than Lin Ray who had been asleep for eight years. As for the young man beside him, he was the Sage Lin Ray.
"Eight years. It's time to wake up." Looking at little Linley, Linley waved his hand, and an indistinct stream of violet energy surged into little Linley's mind.
"Hmm?"
The moment the purple aura entered Lin Ray's mind, Lin Ray let out a soft groan. His fingers, which had been stiff for eight years, moved a little.
"Ah, you're finally awake. I was thinking that if you didn't wake up, I would've used force." Seeing that Lin Ray had woken up, the original gloomy expression disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed. Little Linley, lying on the ground, had completely awakened. He opened his eyes, and a light flashed through his eyes. He didn't look at all like someone who had been asleep for eight years.
"Phew …"
He let out a long breath and his face was filled with excitement and a smile. "Finally … I've finally fused with those memories. I didn't expect there to be a higher realm than the Martial God."
Linley couldn't help but sigh. Thinking back to the memories he had fused, Linley realized that the Destiny world he was in was nothing more than a minor plane. The outside world was so vast that any Tribulation Transcendence cultivator could easily destroy the entire Destiny world.
"Tch, Martial God?"
"Don't joke around, child. The Martial God is nothing. Back when we were Saints, we could crush the Martial God with a casual whistle. The Martial God, ah …"
A voice filled with disdain rang out from the side. Hearing this voice, little Linley was startled. He turned his head to look, and when it was Linley's turn, little Linley came back to his senses. He understood that the Linley in front of him was himself, and he was the young man in front of him.
However, he didn't know why he was like this from the memories. He didn't understand why he was like this.
"Ah, I was too rash."
Lin Ray nodded and patted the dust off his body. He stretched his body that hadn't moved for a long time. Suddenly, the sound of bones cracking echoed in the room.
"Alright, don't be rash. You should hurry up and improve your strength." Looking at Lin Ray, Lin Ray said, "Only when you are strong enough will you be able to receive more of the Emperor's memories. Remember, this is only the beginning."
"Oh, right. You have been here for eight years. Many things have happened in your family during the eighth grade. You should hurry up and go back."
"However, even so, you can't neglect your cultivation. If you neglect your cultivation, you can forget about returning to the Sage Realm in this lifetime."
"No … no way!" His eyes widened in disbelief. Eight years. He didn't expect that he would sleep for eight years.
"Home? What happened at home? "Lin Ray felt a sense of urgency to go home.
"Yes."
He nodded at Lin Ray. With a thought, his soul returned. Lin Ray, who had been lying on the bed for eight years, didn't move at all. Not long after Lin Ray's soul returned, his tightly closed eyes opened.
"Phew …"
"Eight years. I didn't expect that I would sleep for eight years." He opened his eyes and looked at his familiar surroundings. He knew that he had returned home.
He sighed and scanned his surroundings. A sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. "I … am back."
After the memory fusion, it could be said that half of Lin Ray was the original Lin Ray.
The Little Dragon would be very shocked if it knew that Lin Ray could recover his memories so quickly. One had to know that his memories were sealed by the system. Now that a part of his memories had been unlocked, how could the Little Dragon not be shocked?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The spirit energy in this world is really very impure. If I want to raise my cultivation level beyond this plane, I'm afraid that the spirit energy in this entire plane is not enough!"
Lin Ray wasn't joking about this. If it was an ordinary cultivator, perhaps it wouldn't be enough. Unfortunately, this person was Lin Ray.
In particular, Lin Ray cultivated the Chaotic Heaven Scripture. It was several times or even dozens of times more difficult to cultivate than ordinary cultivators.
"Sigh, it seems that the price to cultivate back to the peak is not small!" Thinking about the purity of the spirit energy required to cultivate the Chaotic Heaven Scripture, Lin Ray had a headache.
"Forget it. I'd better cultivate for a while first. At the very least, I need to have the strength to protect myself. Otherwise, I'll be killed before I can leave, let alone leave."
With that thought, Lin Ray didn't waste time. He got up and sat cross-legged on the bed. He silently recited the first move of the Chaotic Heaven Scripture and began to cultivate.
Boom!
Linley, who had entered a state of cultivation, didn't notice that as soon as he began to circulate his cultivation technique, all the spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand kilometers was instantly sucked dry and absorbed into Linley's body.
"It's not enough. There are too many impurities. There's basically nothing left after compressing it." In the eyes of the cultivators on the Tianming Continent, the spirit energy within a radius of 10,000 miles could be said to be enormous. However, in Lin Ray's eyes, it was only a little bit. It wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. "
Boom!
A crisp cracking sound rang out from Lin Ray's body. The sound wasn't loud, but it was as if the heavenly thunder from the ninth heaven had struck his heart.
"First layer of Body Tempering." Feeling the changes in his body, Lin Ray's face revealed a smile.
"Eh? So smelly. "
Just as Lin Ray was feeling happy, a foul stench entered Lin Ray's nose. Looking for the source of the stench, Lin Ray saw a layer of black substance on the surface of his body. Only then did Lin Ray remember that the first layer of Body Tempering was enough to cleanse the body of impurities and toxins.
Of course, it wasn't all of them. The entire Body Tempering stage was set up to cleanse the body of impurities in preparation for entering the Qi Refining stage.
"Ah, no, I can't take it anymore." Smelling the foul stench coming from his body, Lin Ray was simply about to go crazy.
Whoosh …
A black shadow quickly rushed out and arrived in front of the courtyard's lake. Without stopping, it fiercely dived into the lake.
"Oh my god, I finally feel good." Seeing that the impurities and toxins on the surface of his body had been cleansed, Lin Ray suddenly felt refreshed.
"Brother Lin, actually I didn't come here for anything else." In the front courtyard's hall, an old man cupped his hands towards Master Lin and said, "Do you still remember the marriage agreement we made?"
"Eh?" Hearing these words, a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. At this moment, the old man seemed to have sensed something, but he didn't dare to think about it. He didn't dare to imagine that his once good brother would be like other people, kicking and stabbing the Lin family in their most difficult time.
Of course, things often go against one's wishes. The more you don't want things to go this way, the more they go this way.
A few days ago, an elder of the Sword Sect passed by the Huangfu family and took a fancy to Jing. He wanted Jing to enter the Sword Sect to cultivate, but I don't know where the elder heard about Jing's marriage agreement. "
Saying this, the old man paused for a moment, then continued, "You also know that it's very difficult to enter the Sword Sect, so the Huangfu family didn't want to give up this opportunity."
"Of course, the most important thing is that Jing doesn't want to give up, so the Sword Sect elder sent this old man here to discuss the marriage agreement …"
"Enough, you don't need to say anymore." Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Master Lin cut him off.
He already knew the rest of the story. Looking at his former brother, Master Lin's body couldn't help but tremble.
It wasn't excitement, it was heartache, it was confusion, and it was a hallucination. He wondered if he had ever known this person in front of him.
Seeing Master Lin's pale face, the old man from Huangfu couldn't bear to see it, but when he thought about the Lin family's current status and Lin Ray's coma, that trace of pity disappeared.
He raised his head and said forcefully, "How about it, I wonder if this marriage agreement between our two families …"
At this moment, Huo Yun, who had been trying her best to control herself, couldn't hold it in anymore. "Are you guys kidding me? Back when the Lin family was flourishing and Ray was in a coma, why didn't your Huangfu family cancel the marriage agreement? Oh, now that the Lin family has declined, your Huangfu family is really something, directly stabbing my Lin family in the back. Do you know what the consequences will be if this gets out?"
"Sir, if you do this, what will happen to my Ray? What will the outside world think of my Ray? "
"Also, if you do this, where will the dignity of the Lin family be?"
