Entering the Ruins, the Great Thousand Dao Child's Invitation
Ling Xiao glanced at him and smiled, "This time, let's rely on our own abilities."
"What? Isn't it supposed to be a 50/50 split?"
Uncle Boya was shocked.
"Ha ha..."
Ling Xiao laughed loudly, and with a swift movement, stepped onto the Evil Qi Continent.
Instantly, countless evil energies surged forth, attempting to corrode his physical body. Ling Xiao's divine body trembled, and a vast power erupted forth, directly dispelling the evil energies within a radius of ten thousand miles.
Uncle Boya and the others quickly followed, and the group braved the wind and waves, advancing towards the Skull Divine Hall.
Ling Xiao soon discovered that many evil spirits were hidden here, wandering around like wronged souls and concealed in the evil aura.
He activated his Slaughter mode, slaying evil spirits as he traveled.
This Evil Qi Continent is extremely vast, and faintly visible are enormous white bones protruding, forming mountain ranges.
Ling Xiao speculated that the entire continent they were on was formed from the remains of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor.
It was like the primordial Primordial World that emerged after Pangu's death.
Besides the evil aura, this place also contains many divine objects, but most of them have been corrupted.
Moreover, creatures that are neither human nor ghost appear there.
It is not simply an evil spirit.
Ling Xiao's gaze was like lightning, like a searchlight at sea, scanning his surroundings.
"Holy crap! Nine Tribulations Divine Bamboo? Too bad, it's been corrupted."
Suddenly, Uncle Boya pulled out a dark green bamboo from somewhere. It had nine sections, with intertwined patterns and occasional flashes of black lines.
Clearly, this bamboo has been corrupted by evil energy for too long, damaging its very foundation. Even if the evil energy is purified, its divine power will be reduced by eight or nine tenths.
As he spoke, he was about to throw the bamboo aside, looking down on it.
"It's a waste, don't give it to me."
Ling Xiao took it and sent it into the Chaos Void Dragon Nest inside his body. This thing could be used to cultivate dragon eggs, making the most of waste.
The Chaos Void Dragon Nest will autonomously absorb and transform this energy.
"Listen up, find any divine objects corrupted by evil energy, good or bad, as long as they possess power, give them all to me. I need them to train henchmen!"
Ling Xiao commanded the Snow Heaven Clan, "We've been raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one. I've protected them for so long, it's time for me to do my part."
"Yes, Lord Ling Xiao!"
Everyone responded in unison, without asking what it was used for.
Only Uncle Boya guessed Ling Xiao's intention, and couldn't help but feel a surge of envy and jealousy.
Immediately, Ling Xiao and his group collected energy-rich treasures while rapidly approaching the Skull Divine Hall.
Along the way, they also encountered some foolish people who wanted to kill and rob them.
They were all killed by Ling Xiao without any mercy.
Some, after learning of Ling Xiao's identity, wanted to befriend him and recruit him to join their cause in seizing the opportunity.
But Ling Xiao rejected them all. To him, these people all had their own ulterior motives and he could not trust them at all. Joining forces with them would only lead to infighting.
In the end, everyone relied on their own abilities; there was no trickery involved.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao and his companions finally arrived at the center of the Evil Qi Continent. Surprisingly, the evil qi here had become thinner and had not become thicker.
However, what followed was an even stronger pressure emanating from the skull, a very intense sense of oppression that made one feel as if they were stuck in quagmire, unable to increase their speed at all.
"It seems that the Skull Divine Hall is not a place that just anyone can enter. The sheer pressure alone is enough to deter countless people."
Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh, standing calmly in the void, gazing up at the enormous skull.
This thing is like Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World, a pillar supporting the sky, too magnificent and vast.
"Damn it! Wasn't that a wasted trip?" Golden Horn Dao Lord stomped his horse's hoof in anger and cursed.
"What are you getting so worked up about? With your cultivation level, you shouldn't be unable to withstand even this little bit of pressure, right?"
Ling Xiao glanced at him. Don't underestimate him just because he's a horse; this guy is a being who has mastered four transcendent powers.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just standing up for them!" Golden Horn Dao Lord pointed to the Snow Heaven Clan members behind him, earning him a chorus of disdainful looks.
Just then, a man and a woman came rushing from a distance and stopped in front of Ling Xiao and the others in the blink of an eye.
Both of them were at the second level of cultivation, which was considered quite ordinary.
"Are you Ling Xiao?"
One of the women spoke up loudly, asking calmly, with a hint of arrogance in her voice.
"Is there something you need?" Ling Xiao's fingers twitched slightly, his conditioned reflex being to execute the two of them. He disliked this attitude very much.
But he quickly regained his composure. What difference was there between him and a devil in his willingness to kill at the slightest provocation?
He's a reasonable and upright person.
"We are subordinates of the Great Thousand Dao Child. We have come to invite you to join the Great Thousand Alliance, a temporary alliance founded by the Great Thousand Dao Child, to jointly seize the opportunity of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor."
The man spoke with a smile, his gaze calm and serene.
Great Thousand Dao Child?
The Great Thousand Alliance?
Ling Xiao paused for a moment, then gently shook his head and said, "Please leave. I don't want to join any faction."
Upon hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the man and woman froze; they seemed not to have expected Ling Xiao to refuse so decisively.
The woman's smile vanished, and her voice suddenly became authoritative.
"Ling Xiao, you may Taiqing that the Great Thousand Dao Child is the successor of the Great Thousand Dao Palace, a top-tier power in the Mysterious Heaven Realm and an immortal lineage."
"As fellow beings of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, Lord Daozi admires you and wishes to have you join the Great Thousand Alliance to build a great enterprise together. You should think carefully; not just anyone can be favored by Lord Daozi."
"The Great Thousand Dao Palace..." Ling Xiao finally understood the origin of this so-called Dao Child.
It turns out he's a giant from the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
"Well? Have you thought it through?" the man asked, a strange smile flashing in his eyes.
"I've thought it through." Ling Xiao nodded, but his words made the two men's faces turn completely gloomy.
"Go back and tell your parents that I appreciate his good intentions, but opportunities come from hard work and skill; there's no use in trying to take shortcuts."
"How dare you!" the woman shouted, her beautiful face contorted with rage.
"Lord Daozi extended a sincere invitation; how can you be so ungrateful?"
"Do you know that if you can gain Lord Daozi's friendship, even if you kill a divine general and commit a heinous crime, you are not without a way out?"
The woman, with an overbearing demeanor, loudly questioned him, making a final effort.
"Joke!"
Ling Xiao laughed loudly, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Do you think your Daozi is the illegitimate son of the Realm Lord? You think you can do whatever you want with him?"
"Who gave you the audacity to be so insolent in front of me?"
A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the two of them.
Knock knock!
The man and woman trembled and immediately knelt in the void, their entire magical powers crumbling.
They never expected Ling Xiao to be so audacious and unrestrained.
"What do you want to do? Killing our Lord Daozi will not let you off the hook."
The two panicked completely, their previous arrogance vanished.
"Nonsense, even if we don't kill you, you'll probably cause trouble for your Daoist master when we get back."
In short, the Karma were already formed from the moment your Daoist disciples wanted to recruit me.
Your deaths will serve as a warning to him: if he dares to provoke me again, I'll kill him, even if it's the Heavenly Laozi!
Ling Xiao's Daoist voice boomed like thunder. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed, instantly obliterating the two of them.
