Chapter 18: I shouldn’t ask more questions, I just need to obey, my fault
“No one knows where the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique is! Understand?” Ling Xue emphasized this to Lin Feng without offering further explanation.
What he wanted, of course, was for the sword technique to be found only after a thorough search.
Ling Xue continued, “It wouldn’t do for it to be discovered right away. If that were the case… it would seem sowhat artificial. If Yun Luoxi had even the slightest suspicion, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted?
Therefore, he needed to create the illusion of searching for the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique! Only this way would everything appear reasonable and genuine!”
Although Lin Feng had no idea what Ling Xue was thinking, she still nodded, “Yes!”
With that, she too leaped away!
She would cooperate with Ling Xue, pretending to search for the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique.
Since Ling Xue said that no one knew where the sword technique was, then that included herself, of course! She would obey all of Ling Xue’s commands.
“Demonic Lord, is there a complete Heaven and Earth Sword Technique here?” Behind him, Yu Yaoyao swayed her soft waist as she approached Ling Xue’s side.
She had been present when Ling Xue instructed Lin Feng to place the fragnt here. So, she knew about this matter as well.
However, she also couldn’t fully understand Ling Xue’s reasoning for doing so.
Ling Xue didn’t answer Yu Yaoyao’s question. He simply turned his head slightly, casting her a glance.
Yu Yaoyao replied with embarres, “I shouldn’t ask too much; I just need to obey. My mistake!”
Sensing Ling Xue’s gaze, Yu Yaoyao quickly flashed a charming smile and imdiately admitted her fault, “I promise there won’t be a next ti!”
Although she was admitting fault and truly feeling regret in her heart, her deanor still gave off a playful vibe.
The combination of playfulness and allure on her face added a unique charm.
Of course, Ling Xue wasn’t blaming her. He simply shifted his gaze slightly to glance at Yun Luoxi and Liu Wenwan, who had just entered not far away.
Then, he took Yu Yaoyao and Xiao Xiangyu with him, and they all swiftly moved away.
On the dragon turtle’s massive back, only a few people remained, waiting in place.
The rest of the Demonic Sect had already dispersed.
They spread out in all directions!
Ling Xue, along with Xiao Xiangyu and Yu Yaoyao, wandered through the spiritual mist-covered fairyland of the ancient tomb.
Though they were supposedly searching for the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, in reality, they were rely leisurely enjoying the scenery.
Along the way, they were also familiarizing themselves with the area.
After all, he planned to relocate the Demonic Sect here.
As they strolled, Xiao Xiangyu, who had been following Ling Xue, couldn’t help but raise a question.
She inquired about why Ling Xue had endured all these years.
To all of Xiao Xiangyu’s questions, Ling Xue casually brushed them off with excuses.
He rely claid that he was testing the loyalty of the remaining mbers of the Demonic Sect.
Xiao Xiangyu and Yu Yaoyao didn’t doubt Ling Xue’s explanation.
After all, the reason made sense.
Since Ling Xue’s father and several other imnsely powerful figures in the Extre Martial Realm had fallen, the Demonic Sect had declined drastically.
To revive the sect, they needed a group of absolutely loyal and unified followers.
Ling Xue’s test, therefore, was entirely necessary.
Only with a group of loyal and united followers could Ling Xue hope to revive the Demonic Sect!
This ancient tomb indeed contains many hidden treasures and opportunities.
In the original story, the protagonist Ye Feng also ca here in the later stages.
He gained many benefits here.
However, now that Ling Xue has arrived first, Ye Feng naturally won’t be able to claim those advantages anymore.
Ling Xue has essentially collected all the treasures for himself.
Of course, he doesn’t need those items anymore.
After all, with his cultivation at the peak of the Divine Origin Realm, those spiritual pills and elixirs are practically useless to him.
But the countless soldiers of the Demonic Sect could certainly use them.
So, based on the records in the original story, Ling Xue retraces the steps to where the treasures are buried. He collects all the pills, cultivation techniques, divine weapons, and magical artifacts…
As for the so-called complete Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, of course, it’s not here.
Ling Xue is rely using this tomb as a decoy to fool Yun Luoxi.
And now, Yun Luoxi truly believes that the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique is here.
So, she and Liu Wenwan continue their search.
They’re gambling on luck.
Lin Feng hid the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, so finding it won’t be easy.
However, it’s not difficult to find other valuable items.
In this ancient tomb, which resembles a paradise, beneath a towering palace that pierces the clouds, lies a vast sea of molten lava.
The air above the sea of fire is distorted by the intense heat.
At this mont, Yun Luoxi and Liu Wenwan are standing on a stone platform at the edge of the sea of fire.
“This place… seems to have once been a trial ground,” Liu Wenwan remarked as she gazed at the sea of fire below.
Amidst the flas, countless giant stones jutted out.
These stones were arranged in a series of concentric circles.
At the center of these circles, there was a ball of light emitting a pure white glow!
It looked like a sun, resting in the heart of the lava.
With one glance, Liu Wenwan could tell that this was a trial ground!
It must have been a training area once reserved for the young mbers of the royal family of this ancient kingdom.
The closer one moved toward the inner stone circles, the more intense the heat and fla power beca.
The training effects, naturally, would be even stronger!
As the sect leader, Liu Wenwan was very familiar with such a design.
“That in the middle seems to be a unique fla essence!” Liu Wenwan’s beautiful eyes were fixed on the white ball of light at the center.
The fla power contained within this essence was extrely potent. Of course, for soone like her, who was at the Divine Origin Realm, it was nothing special.
But for Yun Luoxi, it was a precious item!
Liu Wenwan said to Yun Louxi, “You failed to break through to the Profound Sky Realm during your last seclusion. If you can absorb this fla essence, you’ll break through to the Profound Sky Realm! You might even reach the mid or late stages!”
Liu Wenwan continued with a smile, “It seems like we’re in luck. Either way, this trip wasn’t wasted!”
She added, “If they could get the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, great; if not, so be it. But at the very least, they had to gain so treasures and opportunities, right?”
