Lin Heng finished explaining what he knew about Mu Chen.
The sound of a Thought Avatar echoed in his mind.
"Why!"
"Did he... ultimately fail to reach the pinnacle?"
There was a hint of disappointment in Thought Avatar's words.
Lin Heng was also able to make a rough judgment.
This is the Thought Avatar of Desire among Mu Chen's seven emotions.
It possesses a desire for things.
Just as it fulfilled the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor's desire to become stronger and to make the Lei Clan the strongest race in the Nine Heavens.
The Thought Avatar of Desire is perhaps the being that most desires Mu Chen to reach the pinnacle of the universe.
However, Mu Chen's death Destruction all of Thought Avatar of Desire's illusions.
"Thank you, young man."
"Although I know that what you said wasn't entirely the truth."
"But it's enough that you brought me this news."
"If I could, I would really like to accompany Mu Chen all the way and witness him reach the pinnacle of the universe."
"This is his desire, and it is also my desire."
"After waiting for so many years, he still didn't come."
"Actually, I sensed it as soon as he fell."
"All these years, I've just been deceiving myself."
There was a hint of liberation in the words about Thought Avatar of Desire.
The next second, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor suddenly stopped smashing the wall.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Heng felt a powerful Divine Power carrying goodwill surging towards him.
"Young man, I have no reason to wait any longer."
"I hope my Divine Power can lend you a hand."
"I also hope that you can carry my and Mu Chen's dreams to the pinnacle of the universe."
The sound of Thought Avatar of Desire growing fainter and fainter.
When the last sound completely faded away.
That benevolent Divine Power completely merged into Lin Heng's spiritual world.
This is Divine Power after being completely purified by desire.
Although the Divine Power obtained through external forces cannot be absorbed 100%.
Even if you can only get a part of it.
This was enough to significantly increase Lin Heng's Divine Power.
With his eyes closed, Lin Heng felt his Divine Power rapidly increasing.
The wonderful taste made him completely absorbed in it.
It is merely the Divine Power of a Thought Avatar of Desire.
That alone is equivalent to Lin Heng's hundreds of millions of years of arduous cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Heng slowly opened his eyes.
At the same time, the voice of the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor rang out from within the array space.
" Lin Heng, where is this?"
What did I just do?
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng turned his head to glance at the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, then waved his hand to retrieve the array flag.
Having regained his freedom, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor appeared before Lin Heng in a flash.
Before he could speak again...
Lin Heng was the first to reveal that his Thought Avatar of Desire.
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was startled.
It is the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens Pyramid.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor never imagined that anyone could control him through Divine Power.
But this very thing actually happened today.
If Lin Heng hadn't promptly eliminated the Thought Avatar of Desire...
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor could hardly imagine that he would become a walking corpse after his sanity was gradually devoured by the Thought Avatar.
Of course, each issue should be considered separately.
Despite his fear, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor felt no gratitude towards Lin Heng.
On the contrary, recalling Lin Heng's words, he became even more suspicious.
Lin Heng was able to know so much about the matter of the Thought Avatar.
That means he must have some connection with that powerful figure who dominated the Nine Heavens back then.
This further solidified the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor's determination that there were treasures here.
Especially his cultivation insights, which he had already hidden away.
That thing is the real deal.
In the eyes of the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor--
The cultivation insights given by just one of his mental Thought Avatar were already so extraordinary that he was deeply engrossed in them.
If there truly is treasure hidden here, how terrifying would that be?
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor had originally planned to leave.
After thinking it all through, he decided not to leave and to follow Lin Heng, hoping to find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Heng saw right through his little scheme.
I'll only say this once.
"This forbidden area doesn't contain the treasures you imagine."
"Besides the Thought Avatar of Desire that controlled you just now, there are seven other Thought Avatar."
"If you wish to stay, I will not force you to leave."
"But what if they get controlled again next time?"
You'll have to rely on yourself.
After saying that, Lin Heng walked out of the cave.
However, Lin Heng's decisiveness put the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor in a difficult position.
If Lin Heng keeps trying to persuade him to leave...
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor still harbored some suspicions.
But Lin Heng's composure broke down his defenses.
As for cultivators, the higher their cultivation level, the more greedy they become, but they also become more afraid of death.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor also began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.
Should I stay?
They were gambling on the existence of treasures in this forbidden space, the true nature of which was unknown.
But what they were gambling with was their own lives.
This deal doesn't seem like a good deal.
Moreover, Lin Heng had mentioned this when he was outside the forbidden area.
There are no treasures here, only monsters.
Lin Heng's words have now become a reality.
Now Lin Heng is saying the same thing: there are no treasures here.
This made even the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor begin to doubt his own judgment.
leave?
Although I was unwilling to accept it.
But after all, he had already gained some insights into cultivation.
Once you get back, just study it carefully.
It is not impossible for him to reach the level of the Fire Separation Saint Emperor in the near future.
Even if the two are evenly matched in terms of strength at that time.
But her own father held a position of detachment from worldly affairs.
Even then, they will still be able to suppress the Fire Separation Saint Emperor.
At that time, I was undoubtedly the number one person in the Nine Heavens.
With this in mind, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor made his decision.
He strode out of the cave and caught up with Lin Heng, who was just about to leave.
" Lin Heng, um..."
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was somewhat embarrassed, but he still forced himself to speak.
" Lin Heng, um... could you please help me break the seal here so I can leave?"
These words, coming from the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, were somewhat of a loss of face.
But for the sake of his dream of becoming the strongest in the Nine Heavens, he couldn't care less about that now.
Hearing this, Lin Heng smiled calmly.
"Aren't you going to stay and fight me for the treasure?"
This taunt embarrassed the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, but it also strengthened his belief that there were no treasures here.
Otherwise, Lin Heng would be eager for me to leave right now, so how could he possibly have the mind to laugh at me?
"My staying would only cause more trouble."
"You have removed these scourges from the Nine Heavens."
"Then I certainly can't hold you back."
It sounds nice, but ultimately, they're still afraid of death.
Lin Heng said no more and led him to the edge of the forbidden area.
Using the same method as before to open the seal, a spatial passage was opened for the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, allowing him to leave.
With one less burden, Lin Heng felt much more at ease.
Lin Heng glanced around the forbidden area again and began searching for his next target.
In the northwest direction, Lin Heng faintly sensed the presence of a certain aura...
