Lei Nuo's words made Lin Heng fall into deep thought.
The Lei Clan's ancestor actually intended to recruit me?
However, the terms they offered weren't very attractive.
A million years is all it takes to ensure I stand at the very top of the Nine Heavens.
To Lin Heng, these words were tantamount to wishing a 99-year-old a long and healthy life.
How long have I been here in Nine Heavens?
We have now entered the Primordial Realm.
Millions of years?
Lin Heng estimated that if he really had that much time, he might even be able to have a go at the Lei Clan's ancestor.
"If I refuse, will the Lei Clan, like the Fire Clan, declare war on me, Lin Heng, and my Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Heng suddenly asked with a smile.
Lin Heng's question seemed to have been anticipated by Lei Nuo.
He calmly raised his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. As he put the glass down, he chuckled and said, "Hehe! I believe Brother Lin is a wise man. I will be heading to the Seventh Heaven Seventh Heaven soon. If Brother Lin agrees, we can go together. If Brother Lin refuses, then I can only hope that we will have a chance to meet again in the Seventh Heaven."
This threat reveals Lei Nuo's absolute confidence.
The Lei Clan is different from the Fire Clan. As beings beyond the mortal realm, and with their strength far exceeding that of the Fire Clan, if they were truly determined to the Battle Heaven Pavilion, their threat would be more than ten times greater than that of the Fire Clan.
Lin Heng also raised his hand, picked up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Seeing this, Lei Nuo smiled. Just as he thought Lin Heng had accepted his invitation and was about to speak again...
Unexpectedly, Lin Heng put down his wine cup and stood up abruptly. "I, Lin Heng, will not submit to anyone, nor will I be bound by anyone. Since Brother Lei will soon be heading to the Seventh Heaven, then I will wait for the day when we meet again in the Seventh Heaven."
After Lin Heng finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the reception hall.
But as soon as he reached the door, two Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable came out and blocked Lin Heng's way.
"This is not how the Lei Clan treats its guests!"
Lei Nuo, who was inside the reception hall, didn't look over; he simply said something indifferently.
The two Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Venerables immediately bent down and stepped back to make way for Lin Heng.
This made Lin Heng think more highly of Lei Nuo. Although Lin Heng wouldn't care even if Renault forcibly stopped him, the Lei Clan was indeed much more magnanimous than some other races.
This also shows that Lei Nuo has absolute confidence; even knowing Lin Heng's potential and strength, he is still not afraid to let the tiger return to the mountain.
Lin Heng has left!
The two Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable who had been guarding outside then entered the room.
The two looked puzzled, but hesitated to speak.
Noticing the strange expressions on the two men's faces, Lei Nuo smiled and said, "A great figure has been watching Lin Heng closely all day. Even if the two Primordial Chaos sent by the clan could detain Lin Heng, if that person were to intervene, they would still return empty-handed today. In that case, it would be better to let him go."
Lei Nuo has always been arrogant, and even when facing a powerful figure like Ao Zhantian, he only showed slight respect.
After all, their background is privileged and they're favored. Even if they're not very strong, they have powerful backers.
The fact that Lei Nuo could be called a big shot immediately made the two Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Venerables guess who the other party was.
To their utter surprise, Lin Heng attracted the attention of two beings who had transcended the Nine Heavens.
After leaving the Lei Clan sect, Lin Heng couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
" The Lei Clan certainly has a lot of good stuff, but unfortunately I still couldn't get what I wanted."
Ever since Lin Heng joined the Lei Clan sect, he has never stopped signing in.
The harvest this time was quite substantial: a flying sword with Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure, spiritual herbs that had been around for billions of years, and advanced Lei Clan cultivation techniques...
Unfortunately, what Lin Heng wanted was a treasure that could house his Primordial Chaos Clone, but he didn't receive any rewards like that from signing in.
After leaving the Lei Clan, Lin Heng did not immediately head to other races. Instead, he suddenly thought of two people. He first found a deserted mountain range and then contacted Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao.
The purpose of contacting these two people was, of course, to gather relevant information.
Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao stated that they had never had the opportunity to come into contact with the treasure capable of housing the Primordial Chaos Clone, and had only heard about it.
Each of the Eight Great Imperial Clans possesses a sacred site within the First Heaven.
There, you can find all sorts of treasures; almost all the materials for creating clones of powerful beings from the Primordial Chaos can be obtained there.
Lin Heng naturally couldn't go to the First Heaven, let alone sign in at the holy land of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
After some deliberation, Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao said that resources in the Nine Heavens are scarce now, making it too difficult to find such treasures. Unless Lin Heng makes a deal with the Thirteen Factions, it is possible to obtain such treasures.
This is indeed a good idea. The Eight Great Imperial Clans may not be willing to trade, but the five Ascenders should be.
However, in Lin Heng's heart, he was still unwilling to get too close to the Five Ascender Factions.
Remember, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him."
If you accept help from others too frequently, you will gradually become trapped in it, and in the end, you may find yourself being ensnared.
Seeing that this questioning method wasn't working, Lin Heng changed his approach to asking the two questions.
Lin Heng asked the two if there had ever been a battle between powerful beings from the Primordial Chaos, or even a place where they had perished, within the Eighth Heaven.
Surprisingly, after asking the question, Lin Xiao and Miao Jingkong actually gave Lin Heng a place to go.
Demon-Sealing Deathland!
This is the very place of the sect where the woman Lei Wuhen deeply loved and whose husband once resided.
The Lei Clan used a pretext to destroy this sect.
They publicly claimed that this sect had connections with Foreign Domain and was their spy, which is why they attacked them.
After all, we can't really say that this sect humiliated our Lei Clan's young master and that he must die.
They are all sects of the Nine Heavens, so they have to save face.
After annihilating that small sect, the Lei Clan also turned the area into a forbidden zone, and no one has set foot there since.
According to Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao, the Lei Clan sent out many powerful beings from the Primordial Chaos realm to intimidate other clans and to demonstrate the inviolability of the Lei Clan's authority.
After receiving news of the Demon-Sealing Deathland, Lin Heng asked the two for the general direction, then ended the conversation and headed straight for the Demon-Sealing Deathland.
The place was quite far away, and even though Lin Heng used Teleportation, it took him many attempts to arrive.
When Lin Heng looked at the Demon-Sealing Deathland, shrouded in mist and filled with the aura of death, he couldn't help but frown.
This area is covered by two major formations: the Soul-Locking Array and the Soul-Devouring Array.
The Soul-Locking Array is designed to prevent the spirits within the array from escaping.
The Soul-Devouring Array is designed to continuously torment the undead within the array.
The Lei Clan is indeed ruthless.
Not only did they destroy that small sect, they also set up these two major formations, preventing the spirits of those they killed from being reborn and trapping them here forever, suffering endless torment.
Standing outside the great formation, one could occasionally hear mournful wails and howls coming from within, sending chills down one's spine.
