At this moment when most people were lying down and a few were about to go out, Tianyang was wearing a dark brown cloak and covering his face with the hood to hide his striking silver hair.
He walked on the edge of the street, and no one noticed him. Even if you passed him face to face, you would not notice him.
Tianyang, who was using the "Dark Breathing", had a very weak presence. Except for the Tianjie, few people could detect his presence. And the Tianjie would only notice him if they bumped into him face to face.
Just like that, Tianyang arrived at the hotel that received Lin Jianping unnoticed. This hotel belonged to the Yunshang Club, and indirectly, it was also the property of Lieyang Castle.
Therefore, in the past week, Tianyang asked them to stop receiving other guests and focus all their energy on receiving VIPs.
Tianyang walked straight through the gate, passing many waiters and cleaners along the way, but none of them attracted any attention. He came to the room where Lin Jianping was staying, released the 'Dark Breathing', and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door opened without me knocking. Behind the door appeared a woman in white clothes, with cascading black hair, a face as rosy as a peach, and an indescribable beauty. She had both the innocence of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman, which blended into a very special temperament that was unforgettable at first sight.
"Good evening, Miss Li Yi." Tianyang took off his hood and greeted with a smile.
As if she had foreseen Tianyang's arrival, the woman Li Yi smiled softly without showing any surprise: "Good evening, Lord Tianyang, please come in."
She stepped aside to let Tianyang in, then closed the door.
Tianyang walked straight into the living room and saw Lin Jianping standing at the window. At this moment, Lin Jianping looked like an ordinary person, with a restrained aura and dim eyes. He did not look like a super strong man of level 10.
He smiled and turned his gaze away from the window and said, "In just over a year, the Tianyang City Lord has been able to turn what was once a paradise for wanted criminals and thieves into what it is now. He is really capable."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "Compared to Mr. Lin, what I have is nothing."
When he and Lin Jianping met during the day, they had a sense of connection and knew that the other was the ultimate, but at that time they both tacitly did not express anything and just did what they were supposed to do.
However, Tianyang felt that he needed to meet with Lin Jianping, and he vaguely felt that this was also Lin Jianping's idea.
So here he comes.
"I'll make you a pot of hot tea." Li Yi smiled slightly, left the living room, walked barefoot into the kitchen, and soon the sound of boiling water was heard.
Lin Jianping said casually: "Please sit down."
Tianyang took off his cloak, hung it on the coat rack, and found a chair to sit down.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, Lin Jianping asked first: "When did you receive the revelation?"
Tian Yang said frankly: "After the expedition to Hell Castle, to be exact, on the way back."
Lin Jianping nodded slightly: "Well, I'm a little earlier than you. Are you rank 7 now?"
Tian Yang nodded: "Yes, I am currently only at rank 7. I originally thought that only after rank 10, I would have the opportunity to become an Ultimate."
He deliberately concealed some information.
Lin Jianping chuckled and said, "I've seen in some records that after reaching the Heavenly Rank, that is, after being promoted to Rank 7, one has the opportunity to become the Ultimate."
"What do you know about the Ultimates?"
Tianyang picked one or two
To put it simply, it does not reveal any information related to the gods.
Lin Jianping nodded and said, "You know a lot. When I was your age, I had never even reached the Heavenly Rank, let alone the Ultimate Rank."
Tian Yang said modestly: "In addition to running this fortress, I am also a Holy Silver Knight of the East Continent Cardinals of the Church of War, so I know relatively more."
He thought he could not hide the fact that he was a Holy Silver Knight from the Golden Council, so he simply revealed it, and at the same time explained why he knew so much information about the Ultimates.
Lin Jianping said without any surprise: "Sure enough, you are also a Holy Silver Knight of the church, so it's no wonder that you know this information."
"Have you informed the church about this?"
Tian Yang shook his head: "No, I dare not report it. I am worried that the church will restrict my personal freedom after knowing it."
Lin Jianping smiled and said, "Your judgment is correct. I had similar concerns, so I did not inform the Glorious Church."
At this time, Li Yi came in, and she took a plate with a kettle and two teacups on it. She sat down at a table in the living room, placed the teacups, and then poured the hot tea from the kettle into the two cups. Suddenly, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
"Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Li Yi placed two cups of tea in front of Lin Jianping and Tianyang respectively.
"Thank you." Tianyang nodded slightly to the woman, then picked up the teacup, blew away the hot smoke from the rim of the cup, and took a sip. He felt the lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, and the taste was different from the common tea in Western Continent.
Li Yi smiled and said, "I brought this from home. I grew it myself. How does it taste?"
"Very good." Tianyang smiled.
"That's good. I won't disturb you anymore." Li Yi stood up, holding the plate and left the living room.
Lin Jianping also took a sip of hot tea at this time. He put down the cup and said, "The War Church should have information about the Ultimate. You can look for it yourself, but be careful and do multiple cover-ups. Try not to attract the attention of the church."
"Also, becoming the Ultimate is not necessarily a good thing. Don't let power confuse your mind."
Lin Jianping looked at Tianyang and said, "You are already at the Heavenly Rank and have the aura of a strong man. Next, you need to sharpen your mind."
Tianyang blinked his eyes: "Sharpen the mind?"
"That's right. Only an equally powerful mind can control a powerful force, rather than being controlled by it. You must remember that we are the masters of power, not its slaves."
"You lead them, not them lead you."
Lin Jianping took out an envelope from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it forward slightly. The envelope slid to Tianyang's hand: "This is some of Lin's experience in this area over the years. You can take a look. You don't have to follow the same path as me. You can try to follow the path you want to follow."
"My experience and insights are just to give you a direction so that you can avoid some detours."
Tianyang couldn't help but look at Lin Jianping. Being able to obtain the experience and insights summarized by a strong man like him was as precious as obtaining a piece of Dusk Slate. Tianyang couldn't believe that Lin Jianping would actually give him such a precious thing.
Lin Jianping smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. The 'Sword Heart' that I practiced emphasizes spiritual intuition the most."
"When we first met at the Ares Castle that day, you vaguely sensed Lin's swordsmanship, and Lin also took this opportunity to glimpse your spiritual world.
The feeling it gives me is very pure and bright, so I know you are not a mean person, and even if you have some reservations, it is human nature. "
"Besides, you and I are both Ultimates, so we will definitely have a lot to learn from each other in the future. I also hope that you can become stronger, especially in terms of your mind, so that you don't become a slave to power."
For the first time, Tianyang felt Lin Jianping's broad mind. He was willing to give everything he knew to someone he had only met twice. Tianyang felt ashamed of himself for being so magnanimous.
He nodded, and without pretense, he put the letter away and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you know the organization 'Wuying'?"
Lin Jianping's eyes moved slightly: "I know."
"They want to assassinate you, and they may already be in the fortress." Tian Yang said. This was also one of his reasons for coming to see Lin Jianping tonight.
Lin Jianping showed no emotion at all, and just nodded slightly when he heard it: "Okay, I'll pay attention."
Tian Yang felt that he had achieved his goal, so he did not linger any longer. He drank the tea in the cup, stood up, took the cloak and put it on, nodded slightly to Lin Jianping: "Then I will take my leave first."
"Slow down."
After returning to his residence, Tianyang burned the cloak, then snapped his fingers and entered the inner gap.
Sitting on the patched sofa, in the dusk-like sunlight outside the window, he read the letter from Lin Jianping.
This letter mentions a concept: the heart of the strong.
Lin Jianping believes that everyone's spiritual characteristics are different, so each person's practice of the "heart of the strong" will also have different characteristics.
Like the 'Sword Heart' he practiced, which focused on spiritual intuition, from the letter, Lin Jianping's 'Sword Heart' had reached the level of clarity, purity and undivided attention.
This kind of strong heart allowed him to always kill the enemy and win in just three or five strikes. And every time he used a sword, he would never doubt it, and every time he used a sword, he would move forward without regrets.
To find one's own "heart of strength", without exception, one needs to sharpen one's will. Therefore, everyone who can possess the "heart of strength" is a person with extremely firm beliefs and will.
"The heart of the strong..."
Tianyang closed his eyes, and then let silver lines appear on the surface of his body, forming a pattern of folded wings: "My alien body is almost done. Next, I can borrow the method that Mr. Lin used to sharpen his spiritual will to temper my mind."
"Let's not talk about whether I can successfully find my own 'heart of strength', just the method of sharpening my spiritual will is enough to scare me to learn. If my will is strong enough, when the will of God is revived, maybe I can fight against it, and I won't be replaced by God once the will of God awakens."
Tianyang nodded, then carefully read the means and methods of sharpening the spiritual will recorded in the letter. After memorizing all the information, he burned the letter.
The next day, Lieyang Castle, Municipal Building.
Under the gaze of nearly a hundred pairs of eyes from the officials of the fortress, Lin Jianping announced with a smile: "After my review, I believe that the Lord of Tianyang City is qualified to join the Golden Court and become a member of the Council."
“So here I declare.”
"From today on, the Lord of Tianyang City will be one of the members of our Golden Court."
This news spread throughout the entire Western Continent in just one morning!
