Chapter 336: Chapter 38: Seven Seas Hall, Kishu
Just as Lin Jing wanted to continue listening, Lu Youjiu suddenly changed the topic, then continued, saying,
“Of course, this theory of mine is just one of many guesses. As for the actual situation, I’m afraid only the true members of the Lin Family would know.”
Actually.
What Lu Youjiu had said was pretty much the truth.
The Lin Family’s ancestor, carrying the alchemy dao legacy of the Lin Family, fell into Immortal Crossing Island, causing the loss of the Lin Family’s alchemy dao legacy, which indeed was one of the reasons for the Lin Family’s destruction.
However, the situation at the time was rather complex. Even if this hadn’t happened, there was still that inexplicable curse. Without breaking the curse, the Lin Family would still have been doomed.
It was only a matter of time.
As to whether there were other families scheming behind the scenes, that Lin Jing was not sure of.
It would seem…
With the fall of the Lin Family, those forces that harbored grudges against them definitely would not miss the chance to kick them while they were down.
……
Afterward.
The three of them continued forward.
They walked a good distance before coming to a building that stood twelve stories high; this structure was more majestic and domineering than any other building around.
It was also the tallest building Lin Jing had seen since entering Bihai City.
The entire building was black, and unusual formation patterns were carved all over its exterior.
Above the main entrance of the building hovered a stone stele, on which the words ‘Seven Seas Hall’ were inscribed in gilt letters.
When Lin Jing looked at the stele, he immediately felt an immense pressure from heaven and earth trying to invade his sea of consciousness.
This pressure from heaven and earth was even more formidable than the oppressive divine sense of cultivators. Under this force, Lin Jing felt as insignificant as an ant.
Lin Jing immediately gathered his divine sense to resist the pressure burning world.
At this moment, Lu Youjiu noticed Lin Jing’s abnormal state and hurriedly said to him,
“Lin Daoyou, be careful not to look directly at that stele…”
Hearing Lu Youjiu’s words, Lin Jing quickly averted his gaze.
Only when Lin Jing looked away did the oppressive force from the stele dissipate.
However.
Even after Lin Jing shifted his gaze, some residual influence remained in his sea of consciousness.
Lin Jing quickly closed his eyes, gathering his divine sense to erase that residual influence.
Once Lin Jing had completely eliminated the residual influence, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and reopened his eyes.
This Seven Seas Hall was clearly no ordinary power; even the pressure of heaven and earth from its stele was not something just anyone could withstand.
“I forgot to remind you earlier,”
“This Seven Seas Hall is not an ordinary power, especially those gilt letters on the stele, which were inscribed by the Mahayana elders within the hall.”
“It is said that during the inscription of the stele, it received the blessing of the world’s momentum, so the stele naturally carries pressure.”
“Another purpose is to use this stele to demonstrate the strength of the Seven Seas Hall.”
“What kind of force is this Seven Seas Hall, to be so powerful that even its elders are strong cultivators of the Mahayana Realm?”
Lin Jing said, his eyes full of shock as he reassessed the Seven Seas Hall.
Lu Youjiu then explained,
“This Seven Seas Hall is one of the top powers within the Inner Sea of the Demonic Monster Sea, but its influence spreads across the entire Demonic Monster Sea.”
“Aside from the Nanming Domain, it even has some influence in several other domains.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing was even more astounded.
“I had no idea that the Seven Seas Hall was so formidable, to have influence beyond the Demonic Monster Sea and affect other domains.”
After a while, recalling what Lu Youjiu had just said, Lin Jing asked,
“Such a strong force, yet it’s not the strongest in the Demonic Monster Sea?”
Lu Youjiu shook his head and said to Lin Jing,
“In terms of strength, there are two or three other powers within the Inner Sea of the Demonic Monster Sea that are comparable to the Seven Seas Hall.”
“But when it comes to influence, the Seven Seas Hall is truly unparalleled.”
Having said that, Lu Youjiu paused for a moment, and then continued,
“You could think of the Seven Seas Hall as a super trading corporation.”
“Within the Seven Seas Hall, you can obtain anything you want, as long as that thing exists and you pay the right price, they can get it for you, no matter what it is.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing looked at the bustling entrance of the Seven Seas Hall, somewhat skeptical.
“Anything?”
“Isn’t that a bit exaggerated…”
Lu Youjiu then said,
“Actually, it’s not that much of an exaggeration.”
“Apart from normal trading, there is also a Covenant Hall within the Seven Seas Hall. This Covenant Hall is truly the reason why the Seven Seas Hall has such immense influence.”
“Because any cultivator, without any prerequisites, can become a covenant cultivator of the hall.”
“Do you know how many covenant cultivators there are within the Seven Seas Hall?”
Lin Jing shook his head and said, “I don’t know…”
At that moment,
Yan Wanfei, who had been struggling to contain himself, eagerly chimed in,
“Brother Lin, let me tell you.”
“In this entire Demonic Monster Sea, it can be said that over seventy percent of cultivators are covenant cultivators.”
“Seventy percent, how is that possible?”
Stunned, Lin Jing quickly asked,
“Does becoming a covenant cultivator have any benefits? And what exactly does a covenant cultivator do?”
Lu Youjiu then spoke up, telling Lin Jing,
“You can think of this Covenant Hall as the foreign affairs hall of a sect, the kind that takes on missions to earn contributions.”
“The Covenant Hall is equivalent to that foreign affairs hall.”
