Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 847: Chapter 110: Envoys from the Jiuhua Alliance Arrive

Ten days!

In the bedroom, Lin Chen closed his eyes.

In these ten days, he had watched Zeng Xi display the Divine Control Record multiple times, and with the help of [Martial Path Name Retention], he had reverse‑deduced the incantation of the Divine Control Record.

Next came cultivating the Divine Control Record itself.

Lin Chen sat cross‑legged on the bed. When, following the guidance of the Cultivation Technique, he urged that vast, ocean‑like sea of Divine Soul Stars to circulate, a strange phenomenon arose.

The feeling was not the clumsy groping of a beginner, but rather like a wanderer returning home, like water flowing back into its channel.

The incantation of the Divine Control Record was like a key long since prepared, incomparably precise as it matched the inner rhythm of that boundless starry sea.

The obstruction and hardship he had anticipated never appeared. Under the guidance of the Divine Control Record, the immense Divine Soul Stars became like billions of gentle, obedient fireflies, following a brand‑new trajectory, beginning to resonate and flow in a harmony surpassing any Cultivation Technique he had practiced before.

"Did I already succeed in cultivating it?"

A look of astonishment flashed in Lin Chen’s eyes. Just how difficult the Divine Control Record was to cultivate, his master’s Jade Scroll had recorded in detail.

For Thousand Mechanism Sect disciples to cultivate the Divine Control Record, the reason they needed the Elders’ approval was precisely because it was almost impossible to get started relying on one’s own strength alone; one needed resources and guidance provided by the sect, and only then did Thousand Mechanism have no choice but to control the number of people.

Zeng Xi had also written in his letter that he had only just touched the threshold. Though there were modest words in that, it still showed that Zeng Xi had definitely spent quite some time cultivating the Divine Control Record.

To get started in one go—this was something Lin Chen had never imagined.

With a thought, a Treasure Pagoda appeared above Lin Chen’s head, and very quickly the pagoda changed from one layer to two, three, four, five...

A Five‑Layered Treasure Pagoda!

The instant the Five‑Layered Treasure Pagoda appeared, Yin Yue, who was currently sitting bored by the lakeside with Lin Xi, suddenly froze for a moment, then turned her gaze back toward the direction of the Lin Family’s estate.

Yin Yue’s Realm had not yet reached the Innate stage, but she was of the Moon Soul Royal Family, her Divine Soul extremely sensitive. This was also why, back then, she had been able to see at a glance that Lin Chen had cultivated the Martial Soul Map.

"Could he really be cultivating the Divine Control Record?"

An incredulous look flickered in Yin Yue’s eyes as she muttered softly. Hearing her, Lin Xi asked with a playful smile, "Yueyue, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing."

"Are you thinking that Brother Su Tong is really amazing?"

Seeing Lin Xi staring with worshipful eyes at the two youths currently sparring in Martial Path by the lakeside, Yin Yue gave no comment. Su Tong’s Martial Path talent was indeed quite good by Canglan Island standards, but in her eyes it didn’t count for much.

"Hehe, apart from Fourth Brother, I think Brother Su Tong is the most amazing."

In Lin Xi’s eyes, the most formidable person was her Fourth Brother, and the second most formidable was Brother Su Tong.

"Lin Xi, you really should walk outside more, instead of just staying in Linhu Village. Once you go out and see other people, you’ll know that there’s always someone better..."

"I just think Brother Su Tong is amazing. No matter where I go, I’ll still think so."

What Yin Yue hadn’t expected was that Lin Xi would react so strongly to her words, even puffing out her cheeks in obvious anger.

"Once you go outside and meet more geniuses, you won’t think that way anymore."

"I won’t."

"You will!"

Yin Yue didn’t yield to Lin Xi. If it were before, she would never have argued with Lin Xi like this; even she herself hadn’t noticed that during this period, her temperament had also been influenced by Lin Xi.

"Miss Lin, Miss Yue... what’s wrong?"

Not far away, Su Tong, who had just finished sparring with his companions, heard the commotion and walked over curiously.

"Brother Su Tong."

Seeing Su Tong come over, Lin Xi spoke softly but didn’t say what it was about.

Though she was young, she wasn’t ignorant of everything. If Yueyue thought Brother Su Tong wasn’t that amazing and she told Brother Su Tong that, it would create friction between Yueyue and Brother Su Tong.

"Lin Xi says you’re amazing. I say that in the Flame Dynasty... no, you don’t even need to look at the Flame Dynasty; even in the Eastern Sea region, you don’t really count for much."

Yin Yue, however, had no such scruples and directly laid the matter bare. As for whether Su Tong would resent her, she simply didn’t care.

Hearing Yin Yue’s words, Su Tong was taken aback, yet no anger showed on his face. Instead, he comforted Lin Xi, saying, "Miss Lin, Miss Yue is right. My Martial Path talent is nothing compared to others. Even on Canglan Island there are plenty whose talent is higher than mine."

Su Tong had never grown complacent just because he had taken first place in the Martial Arts Hall. He knew very well how he had obtained that first place. ree

Because of Young Master Lin, he had gone to the Martial Arts Hall. The Martial Arts Hall Master and the Instructor had taken special care of him and given him many resources. In his heart, only someone like Young Master Lin, who had risen up without relying on the hall’s resources, could be considered a true prodigy.

Liang today was no longer what it had been. Although he was in the Poyang County Martial Arts Hall, the Military Affairs Department would also issue documents from time to time. These documents mentioned the Martial Path situation across all of Canglan Island, as well as other islands, including the Eastern Sea region...

At present he had only reached Great Success in Viscera Cultivation and still needed to assault the Ninth Grade threshold. In the Eastern Sea region, youths of his age who had already Entered the Grade were not few at all; he truly didn’t count as a genius.

"That’s not true. Brother Su Tong, you’ll definitely be able to catch up with them in the future, just like my Fourth Brother."

Lin Xi shook her head anxiously. Su Tong smiled gently. "Miss Lin, how could I compare with Young Master Lin? To have come this far already, I’m more than satisfied. As for how far I can go on the Martial Path in the future, I don’t dare to hope extravagantly."

To Su Tong, he felt he was already very fortunate. Back then, when he had plucked up the courage to seek out Young Master Lin, from that moment his fate had already changed.
