At the same time, in an unknown space, a magnificent, resplendent palace stood amongst the clouds. The grand, ancient golden bricks and jade tiles emitted a dazzling divine light. A tide of rich spiritual energy surged forth from within, and the alluring sounds of the Great Dao reverberated, stretching for ten thousand miles.
Suddenly, a roar filled with killing intent erupted from within the hall.
"Who is it!!Who dares to insult me like this!!!"
Boom!
A sea of murderous aura surged and roiled,suppressing the heavens. Around the divine temple, countless creatures of exquisite beauty instantly prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling. They couldn't fathom who in this world would dare to anger the being before them.
"Don't let me find you! Otherwise, I will make sure you cannot even enter the cycle of reincarnation, and be a slave for eternity!!"
...
Meanwhile, after leaving the Ling Clan sacred realm, Nian Qingyun glanced back at the vast, heaven-reaching sea of qi. Her brows had already regained their usual absolute coldness.
Hmph, Ling Xiao, you'd better not leave the Ling Clan. Otherwise...
However,the Dao Palace Divine Maiden felt slightly puzzled. Why was it that after the intense battles yesterday, she didn't feel the slightest bit tired today? In fact, her cultivation realm even seemed to show signs of loosening? Her Master had said that worldly love was a poison, fatal upon contact. So why did the feeling last night... seem somewhat wonderful? And also... that cold, sinister, despair-inducing aura deep within Ling Xiao's soul... what was it? Unclear, unfathomable, yet somehow... a little attractive.
But!
Ling Xiao must die,and she must kill him with her own hands. Otherwise, her Dao could not cultivate to immortality.
Boom!
Just then,from deep within the Sunset Mountains, a spiritual light shot into the sky. A heart-palpitating, scorching aura spread out, almost enveloping the entire peak of the divine mountain.
"This is...a divine object appearing in the world!!" Nian Qingyun's pretty face froze for a moment. Without the slightest hesitation, she flew directly towards the source of the divine light.
...
Around the Sunset Divine Mountains,figures shot out angrily from numerous sect territories and ancient grounds, all clearly heading for the newly appeared divine object. Although the Sunset Divine Mountains were the location of the Ling Clan's sacred realm, and any treasure appearing there would likely fall into that clan's hands, the powerful figures of various sects naturally didn't dare to snatch it openly. But sending disciples for training was something the Ling Clan presumably wouldn't object to.
"Sister Fu... are we really going to Young Master Ling Xiao's clan territory this time down the mountain?" Amidst green hills and clear waters, several talented disciples of the Myriad Demons Sect, dressed in black, followed behind Fu Yunyao, their faces filled with anticipation.
"Correct. The spiritual light soaring into the sky over the Sunset Divine Mountains definitely means a heavy treasure has appeared. Many forces in the Eastern Territory are already rushing towards Sunset City. When the time comes, you must be careful. Don't go looking for trouble." Fu Yunyao, dressed in green robes, wore a faint smile on her picturesque, celestial face. It was said that yesterday, the Young Master had defeated a prodigy from the Sacred Province using the Thunder Dao Principle. The Thunder Dao Principle! So, the Young Master has two Dao Principles accompanying him. With such talent, he was destined to reach the pinnacle of the world. And when that time came... Fu Yunyao had already secretly resolved that, no matter what, she must cling tightly to the Young Master's coattails.
Sunset Ancient City
Lin Xi stood in an inn within the city, looking coldly at the spiritual light in the sky.
Damn it!One more day, and he could have secretly picked that Dao Fruit, taken the Spiritual Fire, and left this troublesome place. But now, the Undying Heart Flame had appeared on its own, causing celestial phenomena! This completely disrupted Lin Xi's plans.
"Xi'er, be patient. The Spiritual Fire appearing now isn't necessarily a bad thing," Spirit Elder's voice came from the ring.
"Not necessarily bad?"A shadow flashed in Lin Xi's eyes. With such phenomena, even a fool could guess that a heavy treasure had appeared in the Sunset Divine Mountains. Probably soon, the prodigies and geniuses from the surrounding sects would gather in Sunset Ancient City.
"Correct. The appearance of the Spiritual Fire will inevitably attract countless eyes. That will make the Dao Principle Spirit Fruit seem inconspicuous by comparison. When we seize the spirit fruit, even if that Divine Marquis Flame Wolf seeks revenge, it probably won't know who to target." Spirit Elder chuckled lightly. Sneaking away with the Dao Principle Spirit Fruit right under the nose of a Divine Marquis demon wolf was somewhat unrealistic—his territory was usually untrodden by others. But now, with the gathering of talents from major sects heading into the mountains to seek treasure, they could rob amidst the chaos. One can only catch fish in muddy waters. As for the Undying Heart Flame, it wasn't that Spirit Elder was arrogant, but probably only he and Lin Xi in the entire Sacred Province knew how to subdue it.
"That is also true..." Lin Xi nodded, immediately understanding Spirit Elder's meaning. "We can only wait patiently for one more day then..."
...
Xiao Yun Peak
Ling Xiao looked at a golden page in his hand, a smile curling his lips.
Spiritual light soaring skyward, a heavy treasure appears?This Lin Xi truly lived up to being a Son of Destiny. Wherever he went, there were opportunities to be found. And judging by this aura, it was most likely a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire appearing.
Damn!It really doesn't let one rest for a moment. After last night's great battle, where Ling Xiao expended hundreds of millions of units of energy, he had planned to rest within the clan for a while before going out to play with those Sons of Destiny. Who would have thought that in just one day, an opportunity would be delivered to his doorstep?
"Young Master, Nian Qingyun has gone to Sunset City." Jiu You's voice suddenly came through the communication talisman.
Ling Xiao stretched lazily, casually gestured, and Fluffy instantly scrambled up his leg into his robes.
Holy crap!Now I have a dragon in my pants too?
He strode forward,flicked his hair, and laughed freely as he walked towards the distant mountains. He hadn't yet thought of a good solution for the Feng Ling matter, so it was better not to provoke that little ancestor for now. Besides, if she really intended him harm, she probably wouldn't have waited until now. As for Yin Lao, Ling Xiao didn't bring him along either. Although he was Ling Xiao's personal servant and had always been trusted by him... now Ling Xiao had too many secrets. The fewer people who knew, the lower the risk of exposure.
"Roar." Fluffy suddenly let out a roar, poking its head out to look at Ling Xiao pitifully.
"Hungry?"Although the little demon dragon couldn't yet transform or speak, Ling Xiao could clearly understand what it wanted to express.
"Pills?I have quite a few here..." Ling Xiao took out the congratulatory gift his mother had sent from his Qiankun Bag. He gently opened the jade vial, and a wave of pill fragrance wafted out. The entire sky suddenly darkened.
Holy crap! A sixth-grade pill?!Something that could provoke a resonance between heaven and earth must be at least sixth-grade. Such a treasure was a rare, heaven-defying opportunity even in the Sacred Province, enough to attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful experts.
"Roar! Roar!" By now, Fluffy's dog-like eyes were almost popping out of its head, a strand of drool dripping from its mouth.
"Uh,here, have it." Ling Xiao poured out a jade-white pill and casually tossed it into Fluffy's mouth.
Boom! In an instant, spiritual winds from heaven and earth gathered, forming a vortex that descended towards Ling Xiao's head.
"As expected of a sixth-grade pill...its power is indeed terrifying."
"Roar!!"Fluffy raised its head and let out a dragon cry. Demonic energy surged around its body, and the next moment... it directly fell asleep in Ling Xiao's arms.
"It seems the medicinal efficacy is too strong.But when you wake up, your realm will probably have broken through." Ling Xiao smiled wryly, casually tossed Fluffy into the Glazed Pagoda, and was about to turn and leave when hurried sounds of breaking wind suddenly came from the surrounding dense forest.
Huh?
"The celestial phenomenon was right here!Everyone, split up and search!" At the same time, a shocked shout rang out.
Ling Xiao shook his head with a smile and walked towards the distance.
"Stop!!" But before he could get far, another cold shout came from behind.
"You,kid! Who are you? Did you see any treasures appearing around here?" A burly figure descended from the sky, looking coldly at the young man in the distance. But the moment the young man slowly turned around, his face suddenly froze.
Thump!
Kneeling...is an attitude.
As for life or death...what can I do?
I'm panicking too right now
