Although he had already maxed out this secret art.
Ding Ling had no intention of using it.
That was because its side effects were too severe.
It would make a person increasingly conflicted and eccentric, sometimes righteous, sometimes insane, sometimes demonic, and sometimes saintly.
That was something Ding Ling could not tolerate.
Ziwei Celestial Venerable seems to have been using Cheng Letian as an experiment.
After Ding Ling finished stripping away Cheng Letian's memories.
He learned where Ziwei Celestial Venerable had gone.
Earlier, from the memory streams of the other Celestial Venerables, Ding Ling had learned that Ziwei Celestial Venerable was hiding deep within Wu Mountain.

Everywhere it passed.
Everything became crystal
