The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2608 - 2583: The Legacy of Good and Evil Real Man! (5 Updates)

In the depths of the night, Lin Bai and the Heavenly Dog True Person emerged from the stone chamber one behind the other, once more appearing under the ancient tree.

Exchanging a glance, the pair then departed in opposite directions.

The Heavenly Dog True Person remained in the Demon Sect, hunting for signs of the Four Great Dharma Kings.

Lin Bai instead headed back to the small town, returning to the inn where he discovered Hu Xiner and Lan Yuxin still awake, standing by the window and staring at the vast horizon.

Without interrupting them or drawing notice, Lin Bai slipped quietly into his room.

"Impermanent Divine Sword!" Sitting cross-legged, Lin Bai inspected the longsword in his grasp: "The Heavenly Dog True Person mentioned this Impermanent Divine Sword ranks among the 72 Emperor Artifacts of the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"An Emperor Artifact, eh!"

"No surprise it possesses such tremendous might!"

"Yet now that I possess an Emperor Artifact, it could draw too much attention."

Lin Bai shook his head while speaking.

Suddenly, Lin Bai recalled that upon first acquiring the Impermanent Divine Sword, the Good and Evil Real Man had embedded a message inside, stating the sword sealed his entire lifetime of knowledge!

"Let me check what mystical arts the Good and Evil Real Man practiced after three years of Dao, three years of Buddhism, three years as a demon, and three years as a devil!"

Gripping the Impermanent Divine Sword with both hands, Lin Bai channeled his mind into it.

The moment Lin Bai's thoughts entered the sword, a torrent of memories surged into his mind, coalescing into majestic scriptures.

These scriptures represented the lifelong cultivation of the Good and Evil Real Man!

Leading off were the supreme Buddhist techniques the Good and Evil Real Man practiced at the Buddha Fate Temple in the Western Buddha Land!

They encompassed numerous Buddhist scriptures capable of soothing the mind and boosting cultivation, though only a handful truly captured Lin Bai’s interest.

For example, the Mystic Dharma Jade Lotus Heart Sutra, which grants immunity to all poisons once mastered.

For example, the Vajra Sutra, whose practice forges the body into impenetrable bronze-and-iron skin.

Most thrilling to Lin Bai was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, a body-tempering technique—or rather, a spiritual power enhancement method—that lets a warrior's might surpass others of the same level.

Ordinary warriors merely infuse spiritual power into their flesh, but this Buddhist path refines it further, amplifying its potency.

This Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra stands as one of the three ancient scriptures from Buddha Fate Temple, widely famed across the Western Buddha Land!

"This Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra truly merits study." Lin Bai nodded faintly, thoroughly pleased.

Next, Lin Bai delved deeper, arriving at the skills the Good and Evil Real Man gained upon returning to the East Continent and serving as an assassin among the Faceless People.

His time with the Faceless People as an assassin marked the era he called "three years as a devil."

As an assassin in the Faceless People, the Good and Evil Real Man perfected countless assassination arts, stealth methods, evasion skills, sword arts, blade techniques, spear forms, palm strikes, fist styles, lightness skills, formations, and more.

All these were geared toward slaying foes.

In essence, the Good and Evil Real Man knew every technique the Faceless People assassins possessed—and even some lost arts they no longer recalled!

This included the "Heartless Method" practiced by the Heavenly Dog True Person, though Lin Bai dismissed it with a sneer!

After all, during that stint, the Good and Evil Real Man ranked among the Faceless People’s elite powerhouses!

After scrutinizing them thoroughly for ages, Lin Bai reaped immense gains.

Standing out was a sword style the Good and Evil Real Man devised himself: the Killing Life Nine Swords.

This Killing Life Nine Swords delivered lethal strikes in every form, each successive move more devastating than the last.

In those assassin days, scarcely any targets survived to face the ninth sword; ordinary warriors fell to the first three, tougher foes endured up to six, but the ninth guaranteed instant death regardless of power!

"This Killing Life Nine Swords holds real value too." Lin Bai smiled as he commented.

Pressing onward, Lin Bai reached the demon clan arts practiced by the Good and Evil Real Man.

"The demon clan’s arts focus mainly on body refining!"

"And the body-refining art the Good and Evil Real Man pursued was... the Demon Clan’s Indestructible Body!"

"This Demon Clan’s Indestructible Body traces back to the ancient Phoenix Clan!"

"Mastered to the pinnacle, it allows rebirth from a single drop of blood!"

"However, practicing this demon clan art demands demon clan blood as foundation!"

"To cultivate the Demon Clan’s Indestructible Body today, I’d need phoenix lineage blood to progress!"

"Take Li Jiuge’s Divine Dragon Nine Transformations, another demon clan art—it too requires demon clan blood to unlock greater power!"

"Sadly, on today’s Barbaric Ancient Continent, forget Divine Dragons or Phoenixes—even their bloodlines are elusive!"

Lin Bai mulled over these demon clan arts, deep in contemplation.

Though superb, these demon clan methods imposed harsh conditions, and Lin Bai lacked phoenix bloodlines for now!

At last, Lin Bai proceeded to the final part: insights from three years of secluded study at the Deep Mountain Daoist Academy, dubbed by the Good and Evil Real Man as "three years in Dao."

This baffled Lin Bai greatly.

For in those three years of Dao cultivation, the Good and Evil Real Man bequeathed no scriptures or inheritances.

Just four words!

Those four words: Good and Evil Impermanent!

"Good and Evil Impermanent!"

Lin Bai murmured the phrase softly.

"What did the Good and Evil Real Man intend by this? He meditated at the Deep Mountain Daoist Academy for three whole years!"

"He said it was three years of cultivating Dao!"

"Yet from those three years, only one phrase: Good and Evil Impermanent?"

"What’s the meaning?"

"Is there some profound secret concealed here?"

Lin Bai furrowed his brow, pondering intensely.

Despite prolonged reflection, Lin Bai uncovered no hidden depths.

Glancing up, he noted dawn approaching outside, so he set aside his musings and stated calmly, "Though the Good and Evil Real Man’s legacy includes the Demon Clan’s Indestructible Body needing phoenix bloodlines—unsuited for now—and I’ve yet to unravel the mystery of those final four words ’Good and Evil Impermanent’!"

"The Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra and Killing Life Nine Swords are definitely worth practicing!"

"I can assign them to the Demon Body for cultivation!"

With a shimmer, Lin Bai’s Demon Body materialized behind him and advanced.

Lin Bai drew forth the Impermanent Divine Sword, declaring, "One of the Barbaric Ancient Continent’s 72 Emperor Artifacts, the Impermanent Divine Sword packs immense power, but I already command the Demonic Sword!"

"Let the Demon Body take this Impermanent Divine Sword!"

Lin Bai passed the Impermanent Divine Sword to the Demon Body.

In a flash, as Lin Bai’s thoughts shifted, the Demon Body clutched the Impermanent Divine Sword and soared from the inn, vanishing over the horizon instantly.

Only Lin Bai knew the Demon Body’s destination.

And Lin Bai indeed pinned great expectations on the Demon Body!

"The Giant God Avatar trains assiduously inside the Bronze Door!"

"The Demon Body now possesses fitting techniques!"

"Once the avatars fully develop, my power will soar even higher!"

Brilliant light gleamed in Lin Bai’s eyes, a hint of irrepressible delight crossing his features.

Just then, a stir emanated from Lin Bai’s storage bag. He opened it and retrieved a Sound Transmission Token.

As he grasped the Sound Transmission Token, a voice rang out: "Saint Lin Bai, the Demon Sect’s next assault targets the Dynasty of Beasts!"

"Furthermore, the Demon Sect Master is already en route to the Dynasty of Beasts!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai’s face shifted sharply.

This Sound Transmission Token served as the communication link between Lin Bai and the Heavenly Dog True Person!

With the Heavenly Dog True Person relaying this intel, the Demon Sect’s forthcoming strike aimed at... the Dynasty of Beasts!
