Chapter 08: The Heavenly Emperor is being humble!

"There's a way?"

As soon as Lin Yan heard this, his eyes lit with hope.

But Doctor Qin looked hesitated, and instead picked Lin Yan’s hand and said, "Have a rest first, I'll help you bandage.”

Only after they heard the words of Doctor Qin, the crowd finally noticed that Lin Yan's body was covered with severe wounds.

In the process of saving Xiao Yanran, his clothes which were already torn had now been reduced to strips, while the exposed places were almost covered with wounds and blood dripping from them. 

It seemed that when he jumped directly from the cliff, he was cut by several branches next to the tree.

A single glance at his bloody appearance was enough to make most of the people feel distressed.

The crowd outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror didn’t know that their gaze at Lin Yan's had become soft.

"Anyway, this is the young Heavenly Emperor, not the later Heavenly Emperor. Let’s just think of them as two different people for now.”

“That's right." Many of them comforted themselves by saying this in their hearts.

…

Under Doctor Qin's kindness, Lin Yan, however, was still stubborn and said, "I'm fine, treat my sister first."

Doctor Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lin Yan, if I said your sister will be fine, she will definitely be fine.” 

Saying that, Doctor Qin took out a thumb-sized stone from his pocket.

The stone was like jade, giving a very gentle feeling.

…

"It’s a spiritual stone, this Doctor Qin must be a cultivator."

Outside the lingering treasure mirror, someone suddenly exclaimed.

After watching for so long, the crowd had almost overlooked that the world they were living in was a world full of cultivators. 

There were mighty cultivators who could move mountains and collapse seas and not to mention treating a small snake poison was an easy task to them.

"If he is a mighty cultivator, then sister Yanran can be saved."

“By the way, I want to see how powerful the Heavenly Emperor was when he was in his teens."

“Now you said that I almost forgot it. Now that the Emperor is in his teens, he hasn't even been exposed to the cultivation. I want to know how he started his journey to the realm of immortality.”

…

As they were all cultivators, they naturally would know how difficult it was to cultivate. Almost all the cultivators, from the moment they were born, began to refine their bodies and polish their tendons and their veins.

When they grew up a little, they had to undergo many severe practices and pass through many difficult battles.

Only after the unremitting effort, they were able to achieve something in the future.

But when a kid of ten years old cultivates, even it was excellent techniques, there was no guarantee of achieving anything great in the future.

After all, at such a tender age, the bones formed, and tendons and veins were fixed.

And when one forcefully cultivates, eventually their cultivation would be limited due to their poor cultivation base.

But the Heavenly Emperor inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror, though he just reached ten and he suffered from nutrition deficiency for a long time.

To put it bluntly, his physique was much worse than people of the same age, and no way for him to step into cultivation successfully.

But on the contrary, the future Heavenly Emperor, however, became the strongest cultivation existence in the entire Spiritual Xuan Continent.

"Everyone doesn't need to be so surprised, there are always some exceptions to everything in the world."

Suddenly, a voice rang out. 

It was the male protagonist, Lin Feng. While enjoying the attention on him, he smiled and spoke, "I just started cultivating at age of ten, and after many fateful encounters and battles, I walked step by step to where I am today… So, I think, The Heavenly Emperor was the same, and have encountered opportunities as well. It is even possible that he might have encountered something greater than mine."

When Lin Feng said so, the astonishment on the faces of both the fox tribe and people slowly dissipated.

Indeed, Lin Feng was right.

In the world, there were always a few exceptions, just like Lin Feng himself.

Lin Feng had eaten the Nine Heavens Xuan Cao, the Heart of Inferno Marrow, the Extreme Yang Meridian… and many other treasures.  

Each one of these treasures was priceless.

Even if you somehow managed to eat one, it was enough for them to get reborn and rise in the cultivation.

It seemed like Lin Feng ate so many that he was able to reverse the disadvantages of cultivation at the age of ten and completely surpassed heaven’s will.

Seeing that the crowd was no longer worried, Lin Feng smiled and continued: "To start cultivation at the age of ten, the biggest problem is to manifest Qi into the body. This makes the person's meridians solidify. But the process is very painful like a thousand cuts through the soul… Somehow I was able to get 10,000-year-old spiritual ginseng and ate it. That had broadened my meridians. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to breakthrough."

"Wouldn't that mean the Heavenly Emperor also have eaten a similar treasure to cultivate?  Really, what a waste of treasure." Someone next to him voiced in favor of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng simply smiled and stopped talking.

Cultivating at the age of ten was quite challenging. And these were the things that Lin Feng was most proud of in his heart.

At this moment, inside the Lingering Treasure Mirror, the young Heavenly Emperor, Lin Yan, was also about to start cultivating.

Seeing this, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile.

In the beginning, when he first started cultivating, he suffered a lot of hardships and was in a wretched state. It meant that it would also expose the wretched side of the Heavenly Emperor to the crowd.

If not for the concern of Xiao Yanran by his side, Lin Feng even wanted to take the picture inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror, record it and let everyone in the Lingxuan Continent look.

In this way, it would definitely make the Heavenly Emperor‘s unrivaled image reduce into a laughing stock.

The world would no longer be as afraid of the Heavenly Emperor as it was before.

...

Inside the Lingering Treasure Mirror.

Doctor Qin took out a spiritual stone and rolled this spiritual stone on Xiao Yanran's wound a few times.

Then the blue and black color on Xiao Yanran's arm immediately receded quite a bit.

And Xiao Yanran, who was actually full of pain, also suddenly looked much more relaxed.

Looking at his sister's improvement, Lin Yan was immediately overjoyed, full of gratitude, thanked Doctor Qin again and again.

…Looking inside the mirror, Lin Yan, who was covered in injuries was humbly thanking Doctor QIn.

When Xiao Yanran saw that her ice-cold heart finally trembled at this moment.

In her memory, the heavenly emperor was always a prideful, cold and ruthless character.

Who would have thought that the prideful and mighty Heavenly Emperor actually once was such a humble person.

"Is this really the Heavenly Emperor? He had never bowed his head before, even when he was imprisoned in the Linglong Treasure Mirror."

"I have never seen this side of the Heavenly Emperor either."

"Not to mention, the young Heavenly Emperor had never been soft to anyone than his sister."

Indeed.

In the memory over the years, when he had no food or water he starved himself, or even when he was frightened, Lin Yan had never begged anyone.

It seemed this self-pride was imprinted into his bones.

But now for Xiao Yanran, he put down his pride.
