Strength, freedom.
For every spiritual practitioner, it is a goal they dedicate their entire life to pursuing.
But.
For many practitioners, this is not something that can be had at the same time.
Resources are a necessary factor for enhancing strength.
Even if you have talent, without resources or powerful backers, you will find it difficult to make any progress in the cultivation world.
For resources and powerful backers, joining another's faction is basically the only option.
Joining another faction means losing your freedom.
Not everyone is as fortunate as Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying, who have such opportunities.
Xu Yeming could actually understand these people; they chose to be dogs for others in order to gain greater power.
only.
They simply have different stances.
Who is right and who is wrong?
There is no such saying in the world of cultivation.
The transformation in his Divine Qi lasted for three full days.
Unlike Lu Changsheng's transformation of Ye Qiubai and the others, on the Reverse Dragon-Tiger Altar, more than a dozen black-robed men screamed in agony, as if they were undergoing some kind of torture.
Two people even died from their bodies exploding under the infusion of Divine Qi.
The Black Lord pointed at the two figures who had turned into blood mist and looked at Xu Yeming, "Now you know how difficult it is to transform your Divine Qi, right? Now you know why I was so surprised that you could transform your Divine Qi so easily, right?"
Xu Yeming nodded and said earnestly, "Master is awesome."
The Black Lord's eyebrows twitched twice, his face full of speechlessness.
That's such a show-off...
I felt both envious and jealous.
If Lu Changsheng were willing to accept him as a disciple, Black Lord would probably be able to abandon his dignity and kneel down at Lu Changsheng's feet to fawn over him.
joke.
The person who could directly and easily solve his impending doom.
Who wouldn't want to fawn over someone like that?!
After the transformation of Divine Qi is complete.
The black-robed man at the head of the group opened his eyes first, looked at the white-robed man kneeling on one knee, and respectfully said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
The man in white nodded expressionlessly and said, "As long as you can successfully complete the tasks I assign, the rewards will be even greater than this. Joining the Divine Realm is your only chance to reach that level."
"Remember, besides the task of eliminating the other prodigies, you must obtain the God Ascension Writ from the core area. This is the most crucial point."
The man in the black robes at the head nodded slightly.
The God Ascension Writ?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yeming looked at the Black Lord Black Lord beside him, who said with a solemn expression, "It really is the God Ascension Writ."
Seeing Xu Yeming's slightly puzzled look, the Black Lord said, " The God Ascension Writ is the only thing that can temporarily open the passage to the Divine Realm. Although the Divine Realm can still enter other places through other means, it will still come at a price."
At the same time, it is impossible for large numbers of people to freely travel between the Divine Realm and the other five realms; only the God Ascension Writ can achieve this.
This item was in the hands of the Chaos Divine Dynasty. With the dynasty's destruction, the God Ascension Writ was also sealed away by the dynasty, and this item is now located in the core area.
Xu Yeming nodded and said in a deep voice, "If the Divine Realm obtains the God Ascension Writ, given their wolfish ambitions, the other great realms will likely be plunged into dire straits."
"That makes sense." The Black Lord narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint appearing within them. He spoke softly, "The ambitions of the Divine Realm have not yet been extinguished, but... if they dare to launch a full-scale attack, they will be the ones to perish in the end."
Upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, Xu Yeming looked at the Black Lord with a slightly stunned expression.
However, the Black Lord did not explain the meaning of those words to him.
At this moment.
One by one, the black-robed figures completed absorbing the Divine Qi, and several of them even broke through their cultivation levels!
In an instant, the entire Hidden Dragon Abyss was filled with a violent aura.
This violent aura even stirred up all the energy beneath the Hidden Dragon Abyss, forming a vortex centered on the group of black-robed figures.
If it weren't for the golden chain sealing it, this aura would probably have already soared into the sky and spread for thousands of miles around.
This is quite normal.
The black-robed figures present were all of high cultivation levels, with the lowest being Half-Step Domain God. They were likely high-ranking figures from various factions.
Seeing this, the Black Lord suddenly said, "This aura... I'm afraid it will alert that old man."
Old man?
Xu Yeming was taken aback.
Just how senior is someone whom the Black Lord refers to as an "old thing"?
The next moment, a sudden dragon's roar gave Xu Yeming the answer.
The roar of dragons echoed.
It sounded like a low growl, but the growl was continuous and seemed to be able to spread throughout the entire Chaos Realm.
The Hidden Dragon Abyss is restricted by the cliffs on both sides, like a tunnel with no end in sight.
The dragon's roar was squeezed into shockwaves by the cliffs on both sides, crashing wildly through the abyss!
The surging aura was instantly dispersed by the dragon's roar.
Apart from the leader in black robes and the man in white, the rest of the men in black robes coughed up blood, their faces pale.
The man in white looked to his left and said loudly, "What, you still want to show off even though you only have a soul left?"
The leader, a man in black robes, also turned his head to the left, his exquisite face, hidden beneath the robes, filled with solemnity.
"Leave the Chaos Realm and return to the Divine Realm; all past transgressions will be forgiven." A deep voice echoed through the abyss.
"Let bygones be bygones?" The man in white chuckled. "Just as I said, what can you do now that you're just a soul? If you were at your peak, perhaps I would have been a little more wary."
"Then you people of the Divine Realm should also understand the consequences of doing this. Have you already forgotten the pain of past mistakes?"
The man in white's gaze darkened, and he said, "Survival of the fittest is the Principle of nature."
Moreover, what we did did not violate any rules, and the Divine Realm did not transgress the rules set by those individuals back then."
At this moment.
The deep dragon roar drew ever closer, and a powerful pressure of bloodline energy swept over us.
In that seemingly endless passageway, a gigantic figure appeared to be slowly approaching.
"Your actions are not far from transgression; it seems the pain has not made you forget your ambitions."
As he spoke, a massive body was fully revealed before everyone's eyes.
dragon.
However, the dragon's body appeared somewhat illusory, merely a soul entity.
Even if it's just a soul.
The innate pressure of his bloodline still weighed heavily on everyone except Xu Yeming.
This kind of bloodline pressure could not possibly come from an ordinary Dragon Clan.
" The Ancestral Dragon... the first dragon after the creation of heaven and earth, and also the progenitor of dragons," the Black Lord said calmly.
Xu Yeming in surprise, "Hasn't the Dragon Clan already been wiped out?"
The Black Lord nodded. "He is destroyed. Look, this old fellow is now just a soul. If he leaves the Hidden Dragon Abyss, he will completely dissipate."
Xu Yeming looked at the Ancestral Dragon Soul and frowned slightly.
The issue we should be focusing on now is not the extinction of the Dragon Clan... but rather what the Black Lord said and what the Ancestral Dragon said just now.
It seems that, unless someone else is restraining or limiting the God Clan,
The other five realms have long been plunged into dire straits.
At least... a million years ago, the Mortal Realm would absolutely not have been able to withstand an attack from the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm wouldn't go to the trouble of instigating the Evil Demon Realm to attack the Mortal Realm through them...
