Upon hearing Xiao Zining's Voice Transmission, Ye Tian shook his head and said, "Senior Sister, to be honest, I didn't know Ling Yi would ask me to do this."
" Ling Yi tells you to do it, so you just do it?"
"There's nothing I can do, they gave me too much." Ye Tian shrugged.
Those are Senzu Bean! They gave him a hundred at once, which is equivalent to a hundred lives, or a hundred chances to unleash his ultimate attack infinitely.
The key issue is that this thing is available at a price but not in the market; you can't even buy it.
Ye Tian helped Ling Yi not only to curry favor with him, but also because of a system mission.
"Is this Senzu Bean really as amazing as you say?"
"Definitely, it must be amazing," Ye Tian affirmed. His system had already provided the annotations, and the effect was far more miraculous than he had imagined.
Like Ling Yi's system, Ye Tian's system also has a system repository, but his system repository is too small.
It's only the size of one room, about 20 square meters.
However, the functions are quite similar; once an item is placed in the system warehouse, information such as the item's name and function will be displayed.
Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Xiao Zining was wondering if these Senzu Bean could heal her mother.
Ling Yi also gave her quite a few Senzu Bean.
It was precisely because Ling Yi gave it to her so easily that Xiao Zining very suspicious of the Senzu Bean's function.
After all, given Ling Yi's obsessive nature regarding Spirit Stone, it's impossible for him to give away such a good thing for free.
"Is that Divine Ability Fruit real?" Xiao Zining asked again.
"Ahem, I don't know about that."
Xiao Zining recalled Ling Yi's Innate Divine Ability and suddenly felt that this Divine Ability Fruit was most likely real.
Otherwise, how could one person possess so many Innate Divine Ability?
Do you really think Innate Divine Ability are as common as cabbage?
She didn't covet Ling Yi 'Ling Yi Divine Ability Fruit, but was worried about his safety.
" Ling Yi's actions will bring trouble to himself and the sect," Xiao Zining said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Ling Yi is very shrewd. He would never do something he's not sure he can handle." Although Ye Tian didn't know why Ling Yi was doing this, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
It's simply related to Ling Yi's cheat ability.
For example, reputation or system tasks.
For example, his system would pop up and issue tasks from time to time.
Three days ago, not long after Ye Tian and Xiao Zining left Ling Yi, the system popped up a task that left Ye Tian speechless.
The task was almost identical to the one Ling Yi had given Ye Tian.
Moreover, the rewards are very generous, directly granting Ye Tian a cultivation level of one major realm.
The mission itself was fine, but Ye Tian had a feeling that this system mission was a bit too risky.
What? Are you worried I won't help Ling Yi, so you popped up a task specifically for me?
This frustrated Ye Tian for quite a while.
Whether his system is truly incompetent or not, he'll find out after testing it. If even the system is incompetent, then Ling Yi is a true Big Shot.
What do you do when facing a true Big Shot? Of course, you cling to their coattails! Are you going to act like those crazy transmigrators in some novels, where everyone else is second to none and anyone stronger than you is an enemy?
Should we go against the Big Shot?
Just as Ye Tian was lost in thought, the sky suddenly darkened.
Immediately following, a series of ear-piercing buzzing sounds rang out in the air.
The sound was strange, like a giant humming softly in the air.
The sound was piercing, yet it carried a certain echo that shook the heavens and earth.
At that moment, everyone looked up at the sky.
In the direction of the Endless Mountain Range, a vertical black rift appeared out of thin air, as if someone had cleaved the heavens and earth in two.
The gap is slowly widening, not very quickly. Judging from this, it will probably take some time before it can be fully opened.
"Is this the entrance to the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm? Is it really that big?" Ye Tian asked.
"I saw it once when I was a child, but it wasn't this big back then. It was less than 30% the size of this one," Xiao Zining, shaking her head.
"It seems that what that Corpse Demon said was true. This really might be the last time the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm opens. In ten years, the seal on the Gate of the Demon Beast Realm will be completely broken, and the Demon Beast Realm will invade, right?"
There's something I don't understand.
"What?"
Why would the Demon Beast Realm invade the Immortal Cultivation Realm?
If Ye Tian asked someone else, they would hardly know the reason, but Xiao Zining remembered Yinyin hearing her parents mention it when she was a child.
Ten years ago, she was only nine years old.
When the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm opened, her father led her into the Endless Mountain Range to search for her mother.
With the help of the colorful cesium scales, they easily found their mother.
For the next month, the family of three spent time together, enjoying family bliss. That month was the happiest month of Xiao Zining's life.
During this time, Xiao Zining often heard her parents talk about things related to the Demon Beast Realm, the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the Immortal Realm.
" The Demon Beast Realm's goal has never been to invade the Immortal Cultivation Realm; their goal is to invade the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Cultivation Realm is merely a springboard for the Demon Beast Realm."
"What the hell? The Demon Beast Realm is going to invade the Immortal Realm? The immortal Immortal Realm after cultivators Ascension immortality?"
"Right!"
Has the Demon Beast Realm gone mad?
"I Yinyin remember my mother saying that the Demon Beast Realm is actually an upper-level world on par with the Immortal Realm, and the lord of the Demon Beast Realm has always been plotting to invade the Immortal Cultivation Realm and unify the demon and immortal realms."
"No, since the Demon Beast Realm and the Immortal Realm are both upper-level worlds of the same caliber, the Demon Beast Realm's strength must be comparable to that of the Immortal Realm, right?"
"Yes, there are immortals in the Immortal Realm, and there are Demon Immortal in the Demon Beast Realm."
Why can't the people of the Demon Beast Realm even defeat those of the Immortal Cultivation Realm?
" The Immortal Cultivation Realm has its Immortal Cultivation Realm rules. In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the upper limit of strength is the Mahayana Stage. No matter how strong you are in the Demon Beast Realm or the Immortal Realm, your strength will be suppressed in the Immortal Cultivation Realm."
"Then I understand even less. The Demon Beast Realm was merely using the Immortal Cultivation Realm as a gateway, so why did it turn into a life-or-death battle? And why was the Gate of the Demon Beast Realm sealed in the end?"
Xiao Zining recalled her mother's words and after a long pause said, "People from the Demon Beast Realm are arrogant, domineering, and conceited."
"I get it. It's those powerful figures from the Demon Beast Realm who look down on the Immortal Cultivation Realm, right?"
"Yes, according to my mother, the Demon Beast Realm's first plan is to the Immortal Cultivation Realm. On one hand, they can use the Immortal Cultivation Realm as a permanent stepping stone, and on the other hand..."
"You want to sever the foundation of the Immortal Realm, right? After all, the immortals in the Immortal Realm all Ascension from the Immortal Cultivation Realm," Ye Tian blurted out.
But Xiao Zining shook her head. "The immortals Ascension heaven in the Immortal Realm are less than one-tenth of the immortals in the Immortal Realm. Most immortals are native immortals."
Ultimately, it was the people of the Demon Beast Realm who were too arrogant and underestimated the unity and determination of the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the face of a world-ending crisis.
According to her mother, Cailin, in that battle, the cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Realm disregarded their own lives in order to resist the attack from the Demon Beast Realm.
At that time, the sky was blasted into a crimson red, and the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm was filled with Qi of Blood Baleful Energy.
Back then, there was no distinction between the righteous and the demonic paths in the cultivation Immortal Cultivation Realm. Even cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm dared to carry explosive talismans, charge into the Demon Clan army, and Self-Destruct.
The Demon Clan of the Demon Beast Realm, initially arrogant and conceited, was eventually reduced to nothing but fear by the cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Very few powerful individuals managed to escape back to the Demon Beast Realm.
Finally, a powerful cultivator in the Great Immortal Cultivation Realm Mahayana Stage of the cultivation world forcibly sealed the Gate of the Demon Beast Realm at the cost of his life.
After listening to Xiao Zining's story, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little sad.
But he immediately followed up with, "Such a huge commotion, doesn't the Immortal Realm know about it?"
"Have no idea!"
"The people of the Immortal Realm don't know?"
"No, I don't know, and neither do my parents."
"Who are your parents? Could they have been powerful figures back in the day? How do you even know these things?"
Xiao Zining shook her head and said nothing more.
Seeing that Xiao Zining didn't want to talk about it, Ye Tian didn't ask any more questions, but instead looked up at the sky.
Meanwhile, not far from Xiao Zining and Ye Tian, at the temporary headquarters of the Ethereal Sword School, Xiaoming was having a meeting with three elders.
The topic of conversation was Ling Yi.
"How much of the news is true or false?" Jiang Xiaoming asked.
"How could there be such a thing as Divine Ability Fruit in this world?" Second Elder Lu Chengfeng shook his head; he simply didn't believe it.
He had never even heard of the Divine Ability Fruit, so naturally he didn't believe it.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, everything that appears follows a set pattern. Whether it's rare and precious natural treasures or man-made magical artifacts and talismans, there's an upper limit, and everything must be within the rules.
Divine Ability Fruit are clearly something that disrupts the balance, and in the Second Elder's view, they could never exist.
"It's already incredibly fortunate for a person to have one Innate Divine Ability, but Ling Yi has at least three or more Innate Divine Ability, which is indeed suspicious," said Elder Yun Yi.
The beautiful Third Situ Qing, frowned and said, "Let's put aside the truth of the matter for now. The question now is, who spread this news, and what is their purpose?"
" Divine Ability Fruit is bound to be coveted by others."
"You mean someone is targeting our the Ethereal Sword School?" the Grand Elder asked, frowning.
Situ Qing shook her head. "The message excluded our the Ethereal Sword School, so it shouldn't be targeting our the Ethereal Sword School."
"Besides, we're not pushovers either. If they really want to attack my the Ethereal Sword School Sect, they should think twice about the consequences."
"Furthermore, in such turbulent times, with the Gate of the Demon Beast Realm in the north about to be unsealed and the Blood Demon Patriarch wreaking havoc on the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the south, no one dares to act rashly."
"Speaking of the Demonic Sect, Ling Yi certainly has impressive methods. He single-handedly slaughtered thousands of the Demonic Sect and saved a large number of cultivators. Now his reputation is quite renowned," Lu Chengfeng praised.
"Perhaps, the rumors about this Divine Ability Fruit are part of the Demonic Sect's conspiracy!" Jiang Xiaoming said.
Several people nodded, as they were more inclined to believe this guess.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by asking Ling Yi, won't we?" Lu Chengfeng added.
"Let's discuss this matter after we reach the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm!"
And what is Ling Yi doing right now? He is still searching for the Blood Demon Patriarch.
Moreover, the system's Map function was used to search for it.
In the past, even with a system Map function, finding people was quite troublesome.
After all, Ling Yi didn't know the Blood Demon Patriarch.
But now it's much simpler, because Ling Yi won the new feature in a lottery half a day ago.
This Blood Demon Patriarch must be nearby; as long as he is nearby, he cannot escape the system's Map function's lock-on.
Soon, Ling Yi locked onto an old man with a long black robe and a horse-like face.
