Chapter 39 - Dispelling the Incantation
"Can you really remove the incantation on grandfather?" Hearing what Lin Haoxue said, Lin Haiyue was very happy. But he also felt a little bewildered and couldn"t believe what he was hearing.
He knew that if the curse incantation affecting Lin Geng could be removed then his strength would definitely recover. Then the Lin family"s status in Taixing town would be completely different from before. At this moment the heads of the three big families were merely at the Profound Spirit realm, but at Lin Geng"s strongest, he was already a Peak Profound Saint realm cultivator. If his strength recovered, they wouldn"t have to care about the puny Wu family at all. But in the end, Lin Haoxue was just a kid, did she really have such ability?
"Uncle Haiyue, don"t worry. If Haoxue says she can, then she can," Lin Ruoxue was originally standing aside, but suddenly she interrupted. She obviously understood Lin Haoxue"s situation better than anyone else. "Something that is inconceivable for others somehow always turns out to be feasible for her. Uncle Haiyue, you probably don"t know, but now, Haoxue is an incantation master."
"Incantation master? Really?" Lin Haiyue couldn"t believe what he heard. "The qualification to become an incantation master is extremely strict, and the number of incantation masters in all the Wuhuan Empire is easily counted, let alone our Taixing town. It"s only been merely two months since we last met, how did you become an incantation master?"
"Sister is right, it"s true. I am an incantation master," Lin Haoxue nodded her head. This was good news for the Lin family. "As for how I became an incantation master, I"ll explain after I dispel grandfather"s curse."
"Sure, sounds good. It"s more important to dispel your grandfather"s curse. I was just so excited about this good news that I forgot what was more urgent." Lin Haiyue laughed loudly. Lin Haoxue had become an incantation master! This was probably the best news he had heard in a very long time. During this time, with Lin Geng in a coma, the other families disturbances had turned their family into a mess. The Lin family had almost scattered, but now it seemed like regardless if Lin Geng recovered or not, the emergence of the Lin family was all but a.s.sured.
"Uncle Haiyue, sister, and Cui Lan you guys go wait outside and don"t let others disturb me. I need absolute silence while removing the curse," Lin Haoxue said seriously.
"Sure."
"No problem."
Lin Haiyue and the others agreed and answered simultaneously then they left Lin Geng"s bedroom and waited outside.
After they left the room, the entire house turned quite. Lin Haoxue calmed down for a bit then sat cross-legged and adjusted her willforce.
Earlier she didn"t deny the fact that she was an incantation master and also said she could remove the curse incantation because she wanted to calm her sister and the others. In reality, it wasn"t so easy to dispel this incantation method surrounding Lin Geng.
She knew very well that the best way to dispel an incantation was to use another incantation to break it. Even though she was an incantation master, she was merely at the First Nascent realm. This Spirit Sealing incantation that was bound to her grandfather exceeded a First Nascent incantation array. If she forcefully dispelled the incantation, it was highly possible she would suffer a backlash that could permanently damage her willforce. Therefore, she had to adjust her mind to its peak so that she had a chance of success.
After a while, Lin Haoxue closed her eyes. Even though her eyes were closed, she knew precisely how Lin Geng"s profound power was circulating. Lin Geng had gold elemental profound veins and his veins used to be wide and durable. However, now his veins were thin and weak because they had been sealed by an incantation.
Sealing one"s profound power starts with their dantian. Now at this moment, inside Lin Geng"s dantian was a tiny red seal that stifled his profound power"s circulation and this was how the incantation kept eating away his profound power. That red seal had intricate cryptic pattern covering it making it obvious that it was a Spirit Sealing incantation. Spirit Sealing incantations could only be dispelled by Second Nascent realm incantation masters.
"It"s a Spirit Sealing incantation!? So it"s you who made my grandfather suffer so much, I"m going to destroy you today!"
Lin Haoxue groaned as she continuously drew in the air. Slowly as the Profound Power surrounded her it formed into incantations under her willforce. After a short while, a simple Seal Breaking incantation array had formed. This incantation array had five different elemental colors shining from it.
Lin Haoxue used her willforce to slowly push her incantation array into Lin Geng"s body. Lin Haoxue carefully pushed her Seal Breaking incantation array inside as while it was breaking the seal on her grandfather"s profound veins it was highly likely it could harm her grandfather"s body in the process if she wasn"t careful.
Because Lin Haoxue was very careful, it took quite a long time. After a joss stick worth of time, Lin Haoxue"s multi-elemental incantation array b.u.mped into the red incantation array inside Lin Geng"s dantian.
Incantations b.u.mp into each other represented their gathered energies crashing into each other. Which was different than clashes of profound power as when incantations come into contact with each other they are way more condensed under the user"s willforce. Gold, green, blue, red, and yellow, the five-elemental incantation array attacked the red incantation array from all sides. However, in the end, it was at least a level worse than the red incantation. The red incantation didn"t move at all, instead, the five-elemental incantation array gradually collapsed.
"Unexpectedly, it"s so hard to deal with?" Lin Haoxue was surprised. Then she moved her hands and another five-elemental incantation array was formed. However, she didn"t stop there, and surprisingly, she started forming yet another incantation. If someone saw what Lin Haoxue was doing, they would think she was insane. For most incantation masters, this action would be considered overdrawing their willforce. Once one"s willforce was damaged in this manner, in the less serious cases they would be unable to advance in rank as an incantation master. As for the serious cases, one could easily turn into an idiot. Therefore, Lin Haoxue"s actions were like committing suicide.
However, at this moment, the advantage of Lin Haoxue"s willforce showed itself. After a while, there were already ten five-elemental incantation arrays which had formed. But even now her willforce wasn"t entirely depleted and she also felt that today her willforce felt different compared to before. Now for some reason, it was a lot more condensed.
Now twelve five-elemental Seal Breaking incantations had formed, and Lin Haoxue again pushed them into Lin Geng"s dantian. She used her willforce to protect Lin Geng"s profound veins. At the same time she drove those incantations into his body, she started to feel a little tired.
Even though Lin Haoxue was merely a First Nascent realm incantation master, she had two astonishing advantages. One was that the five-elemental incantations she created would grow and multiply without end, and the other was that the amount of the five-elemental incantation arrays she could form at one time was quite a lot.
Twelve five-colored incantation arrays intertwined with each other inside Lin Geng"s dantian. Lin Geng seemed to feel something so he moved a little.
As Lin Geng moved, the red incantation array seemed to activate. It crazily moved to the right and left b.u.mping around. However, at this moment, twelve incantation arrays occupied twelve different directions and slowly surrounded the red incantation array.
Lin Haoxue"s five-colored incantation arrays had the upper hand now. And slowly under the cooperation of the five-colored incantation arrays, the red incantation array was expelled from Lin Geng"s body. Lin Haoxue successfully controlled the five-colored incantation array to force the red incantation array to leave Lin Geng"s body without harming him.
Booom
When the red incantation array was expelled from Lin Geng"s body, it turned into a bright red light. Unexpectedly, it wasn"t fully destroyed. It was planning to break through the window and flee. Obviously, it had its own spirit now.
"Humph, wanna leave? Not that easy!" Lin Haoxue snorted and drew in the air with her fingers. Several incantations flew into the air and soon they formed into a new Imprisoning incantation array. Even though it had its own spirit now, it had spent too much of its energy so that red light wasn"t able to escape.
That sphere of red light gradually fell onto Lin Haoxue"s white palm, unable to move anymore.
"Hum, so as it turns out it"s like that." Seeing the red light on her palm, Lin Haoxue understood why grandfather had gone into a coma suddenly. Originally, this incantation array contained the creator"s willforce, so he was able to manipulate it from long distances away. The creator of this incantation could use it to cause damage to Lin Geng anytime he wanted and this is why Lin Geng had suddenly gone into a coma.
She took out a jade bottle and put it inside. Looking at Lin Geng who was still in a coma, Lin Haoxue"s face turned pale. But at the same time, she was relieved and then walked outside.
"How"s grandfather?"
"Was the curse removed?"
Lin Haoxue had just walked outside, and she was already surrounded. Lin Ruoxue and Lin Haiyue spoke at the same time.
"The curse has been removed, but grandfather"s profound power needs time to recover; he should wake up in about half a day." Lin Haoxue said, "You guys go take care of him, I need to rest."
"Alright, don"t worry about your grandfather. We"ll take good care of him. You should go rest." Lin Haiyue saw Lin Haoxue"s face had become pale and her forehead was covered in sweat so he knew that it took her a lot of effort.
"Un," Lin Haoxue nodded her head and left. She was now very tired so when she went back to her room she didn"t do anything but lay down.
Lin Haoxue slept for three days and nights.
Lin Geng woke up and heard that Lin Haoxue was now an incantation master. He asked for someone to wake up Lin Haoxue but was so soundly asleep that she wasn"t able to be woken up.
After three days, Lin Haoxue finally woke up. After waking up, Lin Haoxue felt very refreshed and her profound power also improved some. At the same time, her perception power was different than before as well. Now she could clearly tell that inside the Lin family"s mansion, her grandfather and sister were talking, and over at martial arts practice grounds, guards were practicing earnestly. Even if n.o.body was watching them, those guards didn"t goof off. Uncle Haiyue now wasn"t present at the Lin family"s residence. Her senses were so distinct that she could even sense the ants walking in their backyard. This kind of sudden change made Lin Haoxue very happy.
"Second Young Miss, Second Young Miss. You"re awake? What are you doing?" Lin Haoxue just withdrew her focused senses when she heard Cui Lan"s voice. She was standing next to her watching her with big eyes.
"What"s wrong?" Lin Haoxue said.
"Here"s the thing. Grandmaster has woken up a while ago, and he wanted to see you but you have been resting and we couldn"t wake you up," Cui Lan said with a face full of excitement. "Let me tell you the good news! Grandmaster"s strength has increased a lot!"
"Un," Lin Haoxue nodded her head and said. "How long have I slept?"
Cui Lan looked at her and stuck up three fingers, "You don"t know but grandmaster had been asking about you this whole time."
"Three days…" Lin Haoxue repeated these words. She thought that she was just a little sleepy, she didn"t realize that she would be sleeping so long. "Alright, let"s go see grandfather."
Afterwards, she got up and left while Cui Lan followed behind her.
