Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 1057 - 554: Eighth Life: The Lin Family of Swordsmiths, Solar-Melting Immortal Cauldron! (Part 2)

They were numerous and rode large camels, loaded with various supplies and goods, all gathering towards a certain direction.

"Sir, these are the merchants traveling to and from Sword Casting City."

"Sword Casting City is located deep in the Western Desert and rarely interacts with the outside world, relying on these caravans to supplement daily needs within the city."

Above the desert.

Two streaks of rainbow light flashed over their heads and disappeared in an instant.

"This place is desolate, but the Earth Fire Power is extremely abundant—no wonder the Lin Family chose to build the city here."

After listening to Yang Yuan's explanation, a hint of realization flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Whether it's alchemy or artifact refining, both heavily rely on fire.

And the Lin Family building the city here clearly intends to leverage the Earth Fire Power to forge metal materials and thus save a lot of effort.

The speed of Lu Yuan and Yang Yuan was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they traversed tens of thousands of miles to the depths of the desert.

In the center of this desolate desert, a verdant oasis appeared.

The oasis was full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, with clear mountains and waters.

Spiritual Energy drifted within, resembling a Mortal Immortal Realm, a world entirely different from the desert outside.

Moreover, the place was guarded by an array, with countless array patterns interwoven to form a light curtain in mid-air, like an overturned sea bowl, enveloping the entire oasis.

But the most eye-catching was a magnificent giant city standing proudly atop the oasis.

This gigantic city was imposing, seemingly the ruler of this desert, governing all creatures within a hundred thousand miles!

Within the city stood a mountain peak rising from the ground, piercing the clouds like a sharp sword, as if it would puncture the sky!

"Is this Sword Casting City? Its appearance is indeed quite remarkable."

"Wait, why are people from the Divine Fire Sect here?"

Lu Yuan suddenly showed a slight movement in expression, as if he had sensed something.

Straightaway.

His Divine Thought swept out, easily breaking through the City Defense Array, enveloping most of Sword Casting City, and quickly grasping the situation inside.

Within the city, several Void Dao Saint Masters wore flaming dark robes, walking leisurely down the street amidst a group of Lin Family powerhouses.

They wore smiles, talking joyously, appearing like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, their relationship very harmonious.

However, when Yang Yuan saw a scarred middle-aged man among them, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed in disbelief.

"Is that Lin Pojun? How could the dignified Patriarch of the Lin Family be mingling with people from the Divine Fire Sect?"

"Could it be that the Lin Family has already sided with the Divine Fire Sect?"

Yang Yuan's heart sank, and his face became extremely unsightly.

Sword Casting City is a powerful force with a heritage of over hundreds of thousands of years and is a top-tier power in the Profound Spirit Realm, second only to the Medicine God Sect.

If they turn against and ally with the Divine Fire Sect, it would be a mortal blow to the Medicine God Sect!

"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

"Presumably, the Sword Casting City's Lin Family has long coveted your Medicine God Sect's position as the number one sect."

Lu Yuan spoke indifferently, revealing the Lin Family's intentions.

A great man born between heaven and earth should not remain subjugated for long.

And the Lin Family has been suppressed by the Medicine God Sect all these years, forced to build a city deep in this desert.

They have long held grievances against the Medicine God Sect, and now that they've coincidentally encountered the Divine Fire Sect's invasion, naturally, it's a perfect match.

"Sir, the Li Family has already colluded with the Divine Fire Sect. What should we do now?"

Yang Yuan looked at Lu Yuan and quickly asked.

"No rush, they're just a group of Void Dao Saint Masters. We'll enter the city first and discuss further."

While Lu Yuan spoke, he slightly moved his mind, controlling his entire muscles and bones to slowly wriggle.

Before long.

His entire body transformed, turning into a burly, bearded man.

For someone at his level, the control over his body has reached a degree unimaginable to ordinary people.

Not to mention changing appearances, even changing gender or racial form is a matter of ease.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan also disguised himself, concealing his aura, and joined a caravan with Lu Yuan.

Meanwhile.

Lin Pojun was completely unaware of Lu Yuan and Yang Yuan's arrival and was enthusiastically conversing with a group of Divine Fire Sect powerhouses.

"Elder Song Yan's visit this time truly brings honor to our Lin Family."

Lin Pojun smiled broadly, though the scars from the burns on his face made his smile look somewhat grim.

Void Dao Saint Masters can reshape their bones and be reborn from a blood drop.

But the scars on his face were left by burns from the Law Dao Fire, which could not be erased even if he reshaped his Flesh Body ten thousand times.

"Patriarch Lin, times are urgent, the old man has no time for pleasantries, let me be direct."

"As long as your Lin Family is willing to lend the Sun Melting Immortal Cauldron to the old man, and then join my Divine Fire Sect to break through the Medicine God Sect's mountain gate."

"By then, the Xuandan City territory and the Geomagnetic Fire Spirit there will be yours, Sword Casting City's!"

The elder in a flaming dark robe spoke directly.

"Xuandan City?"

When Lin Pojun heard this, an unmistakable greed flashed through his eyes.

The world knows Xuandan City as the city of alchemy, but few know that the Geomagnetic Fire Spirit beneath Xuandan City is the key to its flourishing.

As for why their Lin Family chooses to build a city deep in the Western Desert instead of reaping the benefits of good lands.

The most important reason is because the depths of the Western Desert have abundant Earth Fire Power.

And the Earth Fire Power beneath Xuandan City, after hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, is tens of thousands of times stronger than Sword Casting City.

If this territory falls into Lin Family's hands, their power would surely rise significantly.

Potentially, they could replace the Medicine God Sect and become the number one force in the Profound Spirit Realm!

"Elder Song Yan, a dying camel is still larger than a horse. No matter what, the Medicine God Sect has two Venerables at its helm."

"And I, Lin Mou, am just a Half-Step Venerable. How can I possibly confront them?"

Lin Pojun questioned rhetorically, remaining cautious of the benefits.

But upon hearing this, Song Yan scoffed coldly, speaking disdainfully.

"The Venerable Lingyun from Medicine God Sect has depleted his Origin, just a dying husk, nothing to be feared."

"As for the Sect Master of the Medicine God Sect, alone he can't stir up any storm. If not for my Divine Fire Sect's three Venerables planning a quick victory, why would we need your Lin Family to act?"

"Patriarch Lin, the outcome is already determined, and Medicine God Sect will soon be destroyed. I advise you to think clearly and not take the wrong path."

Song Yan gave Lin Pojun a meaningful glance, suggesting implications.

"Elder Song Yan speaks rightly, but such a matter is momentous and cannot be decided by Lin Mou alone. How about Elder rests in the city for a day, and Lin Mou will give you a definite answer tomorrow?"

Lin Pojun quickly replied.

"Very well, the old man has heard of Sword Casting City yet never had the chance to visit. Today, I can take the opportunity to explore."

Song Yan nodded, agreeing to Lin Pojun's proposal.

"But let me remind you, in this great era of contention, all Dao Lineages are entangled, none can stay out of it."

"Should the Lin Family choose wrongly, Medicine God Sect might just become your fate."

Upon hearing this, Lin Pojun shivered.

Though Song Yan's words carried a threat, he dared not show dissatisfaction.

Because as a Half-Step Venerable, he knew better than low-tier cultivators just how formidable the Divine Fire Sect truly is.

Faced with such a colossal entity, their Lin Family in Sword Casting City was no different from an ant.

If they provoked the Divine Fire Sect, everyone in the Lin Family would face an end with no burial.

"Rest assured, Elder Song Yan, Lin Mou will certainly give you a satisfactory answer."

Lin Pojun hurriedly assured, fearing to offend the other.

"That's excellent."

Song Yan showed a slight smile, and under the entourage of others, entered a residence.

Watching the departing figure, Lin Pojun felt relieved, finally relaxing a bit.

"Patriarch, Divine Fire Sect acts aggressively, collaborating with them is akin to seeking skins from a tiger."

"If the Sun Melting Immortal Cauldron is truly lent out, we might never get it back, as they could claim it for themselves."

An elder of the Lin Family expressed concern, speaking quietly.
