Inner Core Realm Demon Beast! Profound Water True Person's Trial!

"Lady Ling, I haven't caused you any real harm. If you release me, I'm willing to give you everything I have. Moreover, I swear a blood oath that I will never reveal anything about today, nor will I seek revenge afterward..."

Inside the Treasure Ship, under Lu Qing Ling's palm, Zhang Shangqing spoke tremblingly.

Although Lu Qing Ling's sword severed his head, cultivators who have entered the Furnace Fire Realm are no longer bound by their physical bodies. As long as their souls remain, they can still use the method of Body Seizing again and embark on the Great Dao.

Seeing that Lu Qing Ling did not reply, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Shu, who was sitting cross-legged with bloodied flesh beside him, and couldn't help but shudder.

This pair of scoundrels are definitely not Rogue Cultivator; even among Outer Sect Disciple of major sects, few are this strong.

The Demonic Corpse Dismemberment Technique that he himself had unleashed was dragged out to the very end by this guy's supernatural power.

Such a person, even if one were to Body Seizing and rebuild one's cultivation, would be impossible to avenge.

"We have all kinds of Treasure Artifact and supernatural powers. No other force has the foundation of our Dao One Sect. My Natal Treasure Item, for example, has been invested with too many resources and may even become an Earth Rank Treasure Artifact in the future."

"Now I can also hand it over..."

As conditions were constantly being presented, Zhang Shangqing knew clearly that the longer the situation dragged on, the lower his chances of survival would become.

However, Lu Qing Ling turned a deaf ear to Zhang Shangqing's various temptations and just looked at Jiang Shu, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating.

The scene of that battle in the Endless Sea Domain keeps repeating in my mind.

Despite having consistently overestimated Jiang Shu's combat strength, she now realized that Jiang Shu's battle in the Mystical Power Plaza was entirely a restrained display. His true strength was absolutely top-ten on the True Martial Sect Mystical Power Ranking!

Even after entering the inner sect, the condensed Mystical Power Great Elixir is far superior to that of True Person of the same realm!

Perhaps, he really has a very good chance of being promoted to True Disciple of the sect.

Zhang Shangqing was about to say something, but what he was met with was Lu Qing Ling's cold eyes. Lu Qing Ling, who had cultivated to the Furnace Fire Realm and was under the protection of Nirvana True Monarch, was still coming to the Endless Sea Domain.

Nature is not a greenhouse flower.

Being a member of the True Martial Sect, she knew all too well the consequences of killing Dao One Sect if discovered. In the Endless Sea Domain, there were several factions that had been completely wiped out simply for offending Dao One Sect.

If offending someone is enough, then killing them is even more outrageous!

Although those in front of him now are only Outer Sect Disciple.

With a gentle pat on Zhang Shangqing's head, Lu Qing Ling closed her eyes slightly, her True Fire burning fiercely within her body. Her spiritual power surged at this moment, directly invading Zhang Shangqing's brain.

Supernatural Power: Mysterious Nether Soul Searching Technique!

"No!"

Zhang Shangqing let out a final shout, and his last breath vanished completely. A jumble of memories flooded into Lu Qing Ling's mind.

As she sat cross-legged, Lu Qing Ling's brows furrowed more and more, and her face gradually turned pale.

The cost of using the Soul Searching Technique is too high.

Zhang Shangqing had cultivated for decades, and his strength far surpassed hers. If Zhang Shangqing hadn't used the Demonic Corpse Dismemberment Technique and hadn't suffered a near-death experience, greatly diminishing his spiritual power, she wouldn't have been able to use the Soul Searching Power.

She quickly swept past the invalid memories, leaving only one supernatural power, its five characters flashing like stars in the sky.

Demonic Corpse Dismemberment Technique!

"Is everything cleaned up?"

Half an hour later, with the Holy Embryo breathing, Jiang Shu's injuries finally recovered somewhat. He turned around and looked at Lu Qing Ling, who was obviously exhausted, and said with some concern, "If Senior Sister Lu is tired, don't operate the Treasure Ship anymore. Let me take over. You can rest."

"No need, I can still manage."

Lu Qing Ling shook her head. Even though the price she paid for using the Soul Searching Divine Power was high, her injuries were definitely much lighter than Jiang Shu's. She tossed a scroll over, as if it were a gentle breeze, and said, "I just used the Soul Searching Divine Power to retrieve the Demonic Corpse Dismemberment Technique from Zhang Shangqing's mind. It's now engraved on this scroll."

"This divine ability is truly renowned. For us cultivators in the Furnace Fire Realm, it is no less powerful than a Earth Rank divine ability. Senior Brother Jiang can try to cultivate it, but this divine ability has a great hidden danger."

"We must never let anyone outside know. Once it's unleashed, everyone who sees it... will be wiped out!"

His usually cold voice carried an undisguised murderous intent.

The Demonic Corpse Dismemberment Technique is an ancient Devil Sect power. Those who can perform it now are generally marked as remnants of the Devil Sect sect.

If it were truly obtained by killing remnants of the Devil Sect sect, it would only require passing the sect's review and explaining the background. But this divine ability comes from the Dao One Sect!

This matter can only be known to her and Jiang Shu!

"Yes, thank you very much, senior sister."

"What I inherited was the legacy of Nether Lightning True Person, inner disciple of our True Martial Sect."

The Treasure Ship sailed slowly through the Endless Sea Domain, avoiding the detection of some Demon Beast. Jiang Shu slowly recounted everything he had inherited from the Great Jing Dynasty.

Killed Dao One Sect.

Lu Qing Ling and he were truly on the same boat; the two of them could completely share secrets.

Although his strength has progressed rapidly, his foundation in the sect is definitely no match for Lu Qing Ling's.

With Lu Qing Ling's help, they might be able to quickly find the descendants of Nether Lightning True Person and learn about the current situation of inner disciple Zhou Yan.

"Nether Lightning True Person? I'll make a note of that and keep an eye on him when I return to the sect. Since I haven't entered the inner sect yet, I've only been paying attention to the Top Ten True Transmissions of our True Martial Sect and the True Disciple Seed among the inner disciple. I remember that Zhou Yan hasn't been among the True Disciple Seed in the past few years. So his strength shouldn't be that great yet."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing Ling replied.

In the True Martial Sect, the outer sect has Mystical Power Ranking, while the inner sect has True Disciple Seed Ranking.

Every one who makes it onto the True Disciple Seed Ranking is undoubtedly an outstanding member of the inner disciple, and all have the potential to reach the Nirvana Realm and challenge the Top Ten True Transmissions.

"The main thing is that this matter should be handled as soon as possible. I have a blood oath to deal with Zhou Yan in the future, and if I can't resolve this in the future, I can forget about making any major breakthroughs in my cultivation level for the rest of my life."

The blood oath hung like a giant sword over Jiang Shu's head.

Previously, due to his low cultivation level, humble status, and weak strength, he naturally had to be extremely careful in the sect, fearing that his inheritance of the legacy of Nether Lightning True Person would be discovered.

But now, he has mastered thirteen supernatural powers, and both his Origin Power and spiritual power have been honed to an extremely perfect level in the late stage of the Furnace Fire Realm.

Once I learn the Demonic Corpse Dismemberment Technique, I might not be able to resist even Origin Core Realm Master!

We can now proceed with formally resolving the blood oath.

"Senior Brother Jiang, there's no need to rush. Breaking through from the Origin Core stage to the Nirvana is fraught with difficulties. On one hand, there's the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck, and on the other hand, in order to break through, you must first undergo tribulation."

"If you are going through a tribulation, you may die and your cultivation may be destroyed. Even some Nirvana Realm True Lord will suppress their strength and dare not easily break through a minor realm. The Wind Tribulation, the Fire Tribulation, and especially the final Lightning Tribulation are all more difficult than the last one."

Lu Qing Ling comforted Jiang Shu, explaining that the True Martial Sect One Hundred Thousand Servant Disciples, nearly 10,000 Outer Sect Disciple, and nearly 1,000 inner disciple.

However, there were only ten True Disciple.

In her view, as long as Zhou Yan does not advance to become True Disciple and does not enter the Nirvana Realm, Senior Brother Jiang will always have a chance.

"You can still accumulate more now. The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. The more you accumulate, the greater your potential for future breakthroughs will be, and the sect will definitely be on your side."

"If this goes smoothly, you can choose the supernatural power on the Mystical Power Great Elixir first, and refine the one that suits you!"

Lu Qing Ling placed another heavy bet, and as she spoke, the Treasure Ship gradually steered to an extremely remote island.

"This is the Essence Core Realm, the final resting place of Profound Water True Person. Profound Water True Person was skilled in alchemy throughout his life. Unlike other Alchemist, he used water to refine pills and possessed an extremely famous Earth Rank Treasure Artifact, the Three-Legged Profound Water Star Refining Cauldron."

"My most important goal is this. This Treasure Artifact is related to my future cultivation of supernatural powers. Once I obtain it, even among the inner disciple, I can rise to become one of the best, and I may even have the opportunity to be listed on the True Disciple Seed Ranking in the future."

Stepping onto the nameless island, Lu Qing Ling's voice was both cold and domineering.

Although Profound Water True Person was Rogue Cultivator, his killing power was no match for that of the inner disciple of a sect. However, because he possessed Earth Rank Treasure Artifact, the Three-Legged Profound Water Star Refining Cauldron, many True Person at the late Essence Core Realm, even those who were only at the mid-stage of the Essence Core Realm, came to befriend him, and he made a name for himself in the Endless Sea Domain.

After his death, countless cultivators came to search for the place where he had passed away. Among them were many Origin Core Realm Master.

After all, the value of the Three-Legged Profound Water Star Refining Cauldron is comparable to more than ten Earth Rank Treasure Artifact. It has the effects of refining pills, Body Refining, and cultivating supernatural powers.

Once obtained, it can be said that there will be no shortage of elixirs and cultivation resources within the Essence Core Realm.

"We cultivators value cause and effect the most. Just like how you, Senior Brother Jiang, inherited the legacy of Nether Lightning True Person, you must avenge Nether Lightning True Person."

"Profound Water True Person must have had his own requirements. In order to prevent it from being obtained by Origin Core Realm Master and to break the causal link, he must have spread countless false rumors. Now, if we ask any cultivator in Overturning Sea City, we can find out how many so-called treasure maps of Profound Water True Person's Tomb Estate were auctioned off at the time."

"As a result, some cultivators ended up with nothing, while others were injured or even died. The path of cultivation is one that cannot be taken lightly. This time, although I am more than 90% confident, I can only be sure when we actually get there."

He took out a token from his Storage Bag.

This was something she obtained by fortuitous opportunity, and it was also the key to unlocking the Tomb Estate of the Profound Water True Person.

Flying around the island, Lu Qing Ling soon landed in front of a small hill. As the token flew out, handprints condensed on her chest. Amidst the surging air, a huge array slowly appeared, opening a tiny entrance.

"Walk!"

With a low shout, Lu Qing Ling and Jiang Shu leaped in.

"This Tomb Estate was definitely meticulously prepared!"

Jiang Shu looked around. Inside the magic array, the small hill resembled a huge royal palace.

It was adorned with jewels and was extremely luxurious.

Pillars of gold, walls of jade. But even more extravagant is the Spirit Pool at the center of the hall, brimming with Origin Qi, upon which precious Precious Medicine float.

Swaying gracefully, they resembled virgins, incredibly alluring.

The one at the very center is an even more precious Earth Rank Precious Medicine, the Heavenly Pool Origin Spirit Lotus, which can revive human flesh and restore white bones.

It should be understood that in cultivation, only by reaching the Nirvana Realm can one Blood Rebirth; even if the body is destroyed, one can rebuild it.

Below the Nirvana Realm, whether it is Furnace Fire Realm cultivator or Origin Core Realm Master, if they suffer severe injuries such as broken arms or legs, they can no longer recover with their own Origin Power.

Only a very few elixirs, or Precious Medicine, have the effect of healing and restoring health.

The Heavenly Pool Origin Spirit Lotus is one of them!

"Although he is Rogue Cultivator, the foundation of this palace is something that even inner disciple of an ordinary sect could not set up."

Jiang Shu sighed, but did not rush to leap into the Spirit Pool.

Profound Water True Person and Nether Lightning True Person are different.

Nether Lightning True Person was truly at his wit's end and certain to die. The Tomb Estate he was in was actually not dangerous. He only needed to fulfill three conditions.

But Profound Water True Person is not like that. Profound Water True Person's plan must be for something bigger, and he would not easily hand over his resources.

The Spirit Pool in this main hall may be the first test.

"Phew... Finally, another little one has arrived..."

As Jiang Shu and Lu Qing Ling were looking around, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the center of the Spirit Pool surrounded by Origin Qi. It was a huge crocodile head, and it spoke human language as it opened its mouth.

This is... Demon Beast at the Inner Core Realm!

"Call out."

In an instant, Jiang Shu, who was the first to react, grabbed Lu Qing Ling's hand and retreated rapidly without saying a word.

The Polar Underworld Lightning Tablet, surging with Origin Qi, stood in front of him.

Be ready to fight at any time.

At this moment, Lu Qing Ling bowed and asked after seeing the giant crocodile's figure, "May I ask if you are Senior Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile?"

Since she had come to the Tomb Estate of Profound Water True Person, Lu Qing Ling naturally learned about Profound Water True Person's life in detail. In addition to the Three-Legged Profound Water Star Refining Cauldron, Profound Water True Person also had a mount at the Inner Core Realm.

Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile.

In the Vast Desolate Domain, the Demon Race and the Human Race are irreconcilable enemies.

However, this does not mean that all Demon Beast are incompatible with cultivators.

Within the True Martial Sect, there are also Spirit Crane that are raised; in essence, they are Demon Beast at the Seed Condensation Realm.

These Demon Beast, however, are either enlightened or have signed contracts with cultivators from sects, becoming masters and servants or friends.

"You little girl, you have much better taste than the people around you."

The Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile was entirely black, except for two large, cloud-like white wings on its back, creating a striking visual contrast between black and white. It lay calmly before the Spirit Pool, nodding and saying:

"Those who come here are probably all here to inherit the old man's legacy. But the old man made it clear beforehand that each token represents a test."

"Since you only brought one token in, only one of you can enter the test."

"Since you little girl have recognized my identity, I'll give you a hint: the six guys who went in before you all died without exception."

"Think it over carefully. Which of you two will take the test?"
