Second Complete Ding Artifact

It is like the moment of Total Perception Evolution.

The Crown Prince's carriage had already stepped from the Dragon Palace Mountain onto the official road, its entourage magnificent and splendid.

Chen Lingxi stood in the woods, gazing into the distance.

Meanwhile, Demon Lord Zhang and Xiao Zhushan had already gone to lay in ambush.

At this moment, the power of his Qi and Blood burst forth, like a surging river or a cloud of smoke rising into the sky.

Chen Lingxi patiently and waited!

He saw Prince Ying Chi laughing loudly on Dragon Palace Mountain, and then he saw the three women from the Heavenly Boat reveal themselves.

A smile appeared on Chen Lingxi's lips, but only a dozen breaths had passed.

The prince on Dragon Palace Mountain had already taken to the air.

That handsome face still bore a confident, cold smile, and murderous intent seemed to reach the heavens.

Just like the Total Perception Evolution!

"You believed Xiao Zhushan, thinking you two could kill me? That's utterly laughable..."

The Crown Prince's voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the world. He looked down at Chen Lingxi from his high position, his aura pushed to its limit.

But this time...

Before Crown Prince Ying Chi could even get close, Chen Lingxi suddenly activated her spiritual energy!

In the next instant, all the spiritual energy in the Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation was mobilized and condensed into an extremely refined state.

In the blink of an eye, a Longevity Bridge materialized beneath his feet.

That Longevity Bridge was crystal clear, originally just like an exquisite treasure carved from the finest spiritual jade.

But in an instant, the Longevity Bridge grew longer in the wind, transforming into a majestic Spirit Bridge spanning the sky.

As the bridge passed, the air was compressed and exploded, producing a muffled, thunderous sound.

Chen Lingxi gazed calmly at the Crown Prince, whose smile had frozen on his face, and her divine sense stirred slightly...

Rumble!

The Longevity Bridge erupted with a deafening roar before crashing down with tremendous force.

The impact was so simple and unadorned, as if it contained only pure force.

The Longevity Bridge, like a giant dragon that had been suppressed for a long time, broke free of its restraints and, carrying terrifying power capable of destroying the world, crashed into Crown Prince Ying Chi, who was walking through the air.

In an instant!

It was like being hit head-on by a mountain.

The purple aura surrounding the prince and the spiritual energy around him were shattered in an instant.

He groaned, a mouthful of blood gushing from his mouth, and was sent flying backward, tumbling countless times in the Void.

Chen Lingxi reached out with his large hand.

The Heaven-Seizing Seal instantly condensed, transforming into a giant hand that grabbed the prince and dragged him onto the Longevity Bridge.

Crown Prince Ying Chi's body crashed heavily onto the bridge.

His once magnificent bright yellow brocade robe was now tattered and worn, his purple-gold crown was askew, his long hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched.

The excruciating pain contorted his face, yet he still managed to lift his head and stare at Chen Lingxi in disbelief.

The arrogance and murderous intent in his eyes have now been replaced by pure horror.

"You... when did you..."

Chen Lingxi, however, was too lazy to speak to him.

He stood with his hands behind his back at the bridgehead, his all-black robe, formed from the Myriad Marvel Robe, fluttering in the wind.

But at this moment, the depths of his eyes were like a deep vortex, constantly swirling.

Divine Sense Manifestation!

At the same time, Crown Prince Ying Chi seemed to sense a Divine Sense piercing into his Consciousness Sea from between his eyebrows, then transforming into a heavy hammer that struck down fiercely!

With that strike, the prince's Consciousness Sea resounded as if a mighty bronze bell had been struck, causing his entire body to tremble violently.

"Ah!"

Crown Prince Ying Chi let out a miserable scream, feeling as if his Consciousness Sea was about to shatter!

The intense pain prevented him from even struggling before he passed out.

Just like when Total Perception Evolution, Chen Lingxi completely ignored the surprise of Demon Lord Zhang, Xiao Zhushan, and the three women from the Heavenly Boat, and drove the Longevity Bridge straight to Lunan Prefecture.

Lunan Prefecture, Nanju Twelve Mountains!

The Longevity Bridge descended silently, shrouded in mist.

Chen Lingxi stepped into the cave and sat cross-legged.

Crown Prince Ying Chi was carelessly tossed aside in a corner of the cave, barely alive, with no idea when he would wake up.

Chen Lingxi then sat cross-legged in meditation, replenishing his spiritual energy.

Until early the next morning.

Chen Lingxi awoke from his breathing exercises and, not daring to be negligent, Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye You Daye once more.

His perspective was like an invisible bird soaring into the sky, piercing through clouds and mist, heading straight for the distant Capital.

Until the invisible bird landed in the magnificent palace deep within the imperial palace.

He discovered that Emperor Daye was meditating cross-legged.

At this moment, golden light still flickered in the eyes of this Emperor Daye, within which countless mysterious runes floated and flowed, exuding an indescribable aura of profound Dao.

These runes are extremely ancient and mysterious; if one can decipher them, they will greatly benefit one's cultivation.

However, Chen Lingxi discovered that she couldn't understand these runes at all.

"It seems that the aura flowing between these runes is far too Profound Subtlety, exceeding the comprehension of my current cultivation level."

He shook his head helplessly and withdrew from the Sight-Roaming.

Chen Lingxi's gaze then fell on Crown Prince Ying Chi.

At this moment, Crown Prince Ying Chi had already woken up and was struggling to open his eyelids.

His once arrogant eyes were now dull and lifeless, the pupils unfocused, like two beads covered with a layer of gray dust.

He turned his head to look at Chen Lingxi, a hint of despair in his eyes.

Even now, Crown Prince Ying Chi still can't understand why Chen Lingxi Chen Lingxi's cultivation level had reached the Ninth Floor in just one or two years since he last saw her.

In his previous encounter with Chen Lingxi, he was merely an incarnation of purple qi, and Chen Lingxi needed to activate a talisman to deal with him.

But nowadays...

This person possessed only a Divine Ability, and he himself had no power to resist.

At that moment, Chen Lingxi asked, "The Crown Prince once told me that you came from the Southern Heaven Domain."

But what kind of Divine Ability does the Crown Prince possess?

As he spoke, he slowly walked up to Crown Prince Ying Chi and looked down at him.

His tone was flat, and his gaze was normal.

There was neither murderous intent nor pity.

Crown Ying Chi pursed his lips and said, "This is not a lie. I do indeed come from the Southern Heaven Domain, cultivate the Xuanming Dao Formula, and possess the Purple Radiance Golden Wheel Divine Ability. My grandmaster is the Moon River God of the Southern Heaven Domain."

Chen Lingxi's eyes finally changed.

"Just as I suspected."

Chen Lingxi then asked, still puzzled, "What is the River God of the Moon River?"

Crown Prince Ying Chi raised his head, as if he had found a glimmer of hope.

He probably thought Chen Lingxi didn't know what the River God was, and guessed that he came from a minor sect, so he wanted to intimidate him with the prestige of his master.

So he raised his head and said, "I am the Lord of the Southern Heaven Domain, and I wield the Cauldron Vessel [Immortal Capital Gate]!"

These kinds of Cauldron Vessel can be used to confer divine titles and bestow divine Divine Ability.

My grandmaster was once appointed as the River God of the Moon River by the Southern True Lord.

"To command the 800,000-mile-long Moon River is to be True Person!"

When the Crown Prince introduced himself, his innate arrogance seemed to return somewhat.

Without needing to think too much, one could tell from the Crown Prince's gloomy tone that a person from the Southern Heaven Domain, a disciple of the Moon River God... such a background would be enough to earn respect even among the most prestigious sects and immortal clans in the Great World.

"True Person..."

Chen Lingxi pondered for a moment.

The True Person is indeed Golden Grotto; with such a backer, he certainly has every reason to be arrogant...

only...

Chen Lingxi then remembered the cultivator named Zhuo Fengxiu.

His gaze then fell on Crown Ying Chi's blood-stained yet still exceptionally handsome face, observing the hint of arrogance in his eyes.

A sudden, inexplicable sense of absurdity welled up within him.

This prince kept claiming that his grandmaster was the River God of the Moon River and that he came from the Southern Heaven Domain.

But he probably never imagined that his lineage, his proud origins, and even his memories of his past life were nothing more than a lie that the Emperor Daye stole from that skeleton, arbitrarily fabricated and altered, and then implanted into his mind.

Chen Lingxi shook her head slightly and then asked the Crown Prince, "What are the origins of those three women from the Heavenly Boat?"

The crown prince looked up and replied, "It's not three people, it's actually only one person."

Her name is Zhou Xuemei. She infiltrates the palace, practicing a mysterious art. She has three bodies and one soul, but is actually one person.

He paused for a moment to catch his breath, then continued, "She recognized me, made a deal with me, and is temporarily at my beck and call."

When they return to the Great World, I will recommend them to join the Southern Heaven Domain."

As the Crown Prince finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

His smile was full of pride.

It's like a traveler wandering in a foreign land finally encountering a few like-minded people who appreciate his worth, proving that his proud identity is not a lie.

Chen Lingxi continued to gaze at Crown Prince Ying Chi.

"The fact that Emperor Daye was able to compile memories may be related to the fact that Crown Prince Ying Chi spent eight months on Dragon Palace Mountain."

Otherwise, how could he not know my exploits in Ancestral Mountain?

Chen Lingxi secretly guessed, but then suppressed these thoughts for the time being.

He then inquired in detail about many matters concerning the Great World and the Crown Prince Ying Chi.

But then it was discovered that there were many things this person couldn't answer.

"I fear that my soul was damaged in the Rebirth Pool, and my memories will recover very slowly, and even if they do recover, they will be quite vague."

Chen Lingxi suddenly recalled the first time she met Crown Ying Chi in the Beast-Fighting Palace, when the man said that his memories had not yet fully returned.

"Thinking about it this way, even the wondrous Cauldron Vessel used by Emperor Daye to compile and implant memories could not achieve perfection."

"But for these puppets, that should be enough."

As he pondered, Crown Prince Ying Chi, enduring the pain, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Dao, I have offended you in the past, and I have even sought death."

But if you can let me leave, I can make a Jade Law Document with you, and from then on, I will be at your command in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven.

Besides, once the Quexing Xi Family refines this Cave Heaven and we return to the Great World, you are welcome to come to the Moon River in the Southern Heaven Domain to find me.

I will personally introduce you so that you can become a disciple of the Southern Heaven Domain."

Chen Lingxi looked at the Crown Prince, the sense of absurdity in his heart reaching its peak.

He shook his head slightly, then suddenly raised it.

Immediately, a Sword Qi shot out silently from the Profound-Pointing Sword Furnace, piercing into Prince Ying Chi's brow and leaving only a hole the thickness of a finger.

The prince shuddered, unable to utter a single word, and collapsed into the cave.

The light in his eyes was completely extinguished.

He died there.

Chen Lingxi stared at the corpse of Crown Prince Ying Chi, her thoughts churning.

"I was wondering whether this Emperor Daye was a native or had been possessed by a cultivator from the Great World."

"But now that I think about it, it's highly likely that Emperor Daye was possessed by a cultivator from the Great World."

Even a tiger won't eat its cubs.

If he hadn't been possessed by someone else, why would Emperor Daye have used a magical Cauldron Vessel to implant memories into his own son, or even the crown prince who was about to inherit the Great Li kingdom?

How can he be transformed into another person?

But at that moment, Chen Lingxi thought of Xiao Changlü again.

"If that's the case, then what merits or abilities does Xiao Changlü, who is vying for the throne with him, possess to be a person with such a deep karmic connection to Emperor Daye?"

Xiao Changlü was indeed extraordinary, with unparalleled cultivation of Qi and Blood, commanding an army of 300,000, and conquering twelve prefectures in succession!

But in the end, he was just an ordinary person, a martial artist who could not cultivate spiritual energy!

How could such a figure form such a profound karmic connection with an unfathomable being like Emperor Daye?

These many questions are like a fog.

Chen Lingxi couldn't understand it.

So he simply stopped thinking about it. He suppressed these chaotic thoughts for the time being and set up the Pure Marvel Qi-Pivot Formation in the cave!

Chen Lingxi had already thoroughly mastered the first level of the Pure Marvel Qi-Pivot Formation.

Today, he will set up the second layer of the formation.

Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation, and you will grasp the Mystery Mechanism [Technique Deduction]!

This Mystery Mechanism allows him to deduce various laws within his Consciousness Sea, greatly accelerating the time required for practice.

Although Chen Lingxi had not actively studied the second level of the Pure Marvel Qi-Pivot Formation during this time, the profound Technique Deduction the Mystery Mechanism was constantly evolving in his Consciousness Sea.

day to day.

So much time has passed.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already deduced the formation to its second level.

Back in Yuan River Prefecture, Chen Lingxi had already found many jade pendants that could transmit Spiritual Qi, and he was just waiting for today.

He took out all the jade pendants and carefully arranged them according to the nodes of the second layer of the formation. Then, using spiritual energy as a guide, he infused the jade pendants with even more complex and exquisite Seal Art.

It sounded easy, but it took Chen Lingxi two whole days to set up the formation and Seal Art.

The formation activated abruptly only after the final Seal Art was cast.

In the blink of an eye, a power several times stronger than that of the first level flowed out from the formation, frantically drawing in the sparse Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Nanju Twelve Mountains!

It condensed into an almost liquefied vortex of Spiritual Qi within the formation!

"The second layer of this formation is indeed extremely profound."

Chen Lingxi's eyes flashed, and her Divine Sense flowed out.

"In addition, the outer perimeter of the second layer of the formation also includes a concealment formation."

"This concealment formation is extremely vast, almost covering many mountains and rivers of the Nanju Twelve Mountains, completely obscuring the flow of Spiritual Qi within, making it truly extraordinary."

"Unless someone steps inside this concealment formation, there is absolutely no way they can discover it."

Chen Lingxi cross-legged and began his cultivation in this manner.

The entire vast Nanju Twelve Mountains, the twelve mountains and rivers, along with the clear streams and creeks within them, and the Spiritual Qi emanating from the plants, trees, and rocks, all converge here.

The cave where Chen Lingxi was located suddenly became incredibly rich in Spiritual Qi.

"With such abundant Spiritual Qi, it wouldn't be inappropriate to call this cave cave abode."

Chen Lingxi thus peacefully cultivated in this cave abode.

Time flies by, and several months pass in the blink of an eye.

The scenery outside the cave changed from early spring to late spring, and then to midsummer.

Chen Lingxi seemed oblivious, doing only two things each day.

The first thing, naturally, is spiritual practice.

Over several months, with the addition of numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures, elixirs, and Spirit Stone, along with this incredibly profound Spiritual Qi array, the process was completed.

Chen Lingxi's cultivation progress has actually been quite rapid.

His own spiritual energy even increased by 20%.

Many Divine Ability abilities and techniques also became increasingly sophisticated.

The second thing, of course, was to Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye and Lin Suri.

For the past few months, Chen Lingxi every day, apart from cultivating, Sight-Roaming two without fail.

Originally, he only Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye, but later he discovered that even after exhausting himself from Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye, he could still Sight-Roaming Lin Suri.

Therefore, Lin Suri was not overlooked.

After all, Lin Suri was different from other cultivators who Rebirth Realm; the mysterious Jade Slip in his hand allowed him to communicate directly with his sect.

Meanwhile, his sect's Dao-Below Academy was eyeing that fortuitous opportunity Immortal Husk.

Just over a month ago, Lin Suri went to the north again, and no one knows where he went. He has gone beyond Chen Lingxi's current Sight-Roaming range and has not yet returned.

Therefore, Chen Lingxi could only continue to Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye.

For months, Emperor Daye spent either meditating with his eyes closed or studying the severed limbs with a small, thin knife in his hand.

Mysterious and enigmatic.

Chen Lingxi the items but found nothing.

Until this height of summer.

On this day, while Chen Lingxi practicing his cultivation, he closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and activated his Wandering Sight Divine Ability, descending into the depths of the imperial palace.

Just then, he happened to see a young man dressed in a purple python robe bowing as he walked into the palace.

The young man entered slowly, dressed in a deep purple python robe.

Chen Lingxi, having earned official rank, naturally knew that such a deep purple python robe was only worn by the current marquis.

Calling them young people doesn't seem quite right.

This person looked to be only in his early twenties, yet his eyebrows and hair were completely white, and his face was extremely youthful, with smooth skin and not a single wrinkle.

This strange phenomenon—his eyebrows and hair were all white, yet his face was so young and handsome—gave him an inexplicable and eerie aura.

There was another pair of bright, piercing eyes. Although they remained bowed and head bowed, their gazes shone with golden light.

He walked into the palace with utmost respect, not even glancing at the severed limbs and broken bodies, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his steps steady.

He stopped and straightened his clothes as he walked down to the foot of the platform, then knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

"My lord, news has arrived from the Heaven Gate Sea!"

"That Cauldron Vessel is showing signs of activity again; it seems it's about to bear new fruit."

Chen Lingxi for a moment.

"There really is a second complete Cauldron Vessel!"

At that moment, the old and frail Emperor Daye opened his eyes.

At that moment, a golden flame suddenly blazed brightly deep within his eyes, runes swirling around him.

His eyes seemed to hold a deep abyss, extremely profound and terrifying.

"The second complete Cauldron Vessel is about to be created!"

"Excellent!"
