Just the ransom from four of the leading cultivators exceeded the amount Hong Ling had accumulated over this period of time. The youth and Lian Chengyue had divided the resources that Shangguan Qinghong and the others had brought, and the income they had obtained was not less than five hundred thousand taels of gold.
After the two robbed, they quickly left, causing the four injured people to stare blankly. They did not take away the cultivation techniques and martial skills of the four great sects, nor did they take away the weapons on their bodies. It was obvious that they did not want to completely offend the four great sects.
Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue quickly found a palace and rushed in. This was an extremely secretive hall, and it was the place where Lian Chengyue had previously acquired the xuan iron sword.
”Hong Ling, do you have something to ask me!?” Lian Chengyue looked at the youth who wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked softly.
What he actually wanted to ask was how Lian Chengyue was able to find the tenth stage of the World Barrier so easily. Even if she had fused with the Phoenix's bloodline, her talent would at most be on par with his, and it would be impossible to find the tenth stage of the World Barrier.
”Ah Yue, how did you find the tenth stage of the World Barrier?”
Lian Chengyue laughed upon hearing this. She had thought that Hong Ling wanted to ask something else, but didn't expect that he was only asking her about the questions related to talent.
”It's very simple. I found a book of scriptures. It was a secret technique passed down from the ancient era of the Rage Kings. It's called 'The Nine Sutra of Fate'!” She casually took out a golden scripture from her spatial ring and gave it to Hong Ling.
Hong Ling was a little stunned, he never thought that Lian Chengyue would actually have such a good fortuitous encounter.
Using his own soul as the foundation, he set up the Nine Suicide Formation around his body, and was able to find the tenth layer of the Heavenly Fate Barrier. However, if he wanted to use the Nine Suicide Formation, he had to first break through the nine layers of World Barrier, otherwise his soul would not be able to withstand the damage brought by the formation.
”In the previous days, there was no such thing as fortune or misfortune. Only when one called himself, would good and evil be rewarded. Like a shadow following the shadow, it means that the heavens and earth have a God. The punishment will be based on the severity of the crime …” Hong Ling chanted the chant for the Nine Sutra of Fate as a dark golden stream of light gradually floated into his eyes.
Buzz. From his Divine Court, Primordial Spirit Clone s instantly condensed and broke out of his body, quietly floating outside his body.
Hong Ling kept chanting scriptures from his mouth as the Primordial Spirit Clone continued to absorb the divine intent within his Divine Court. Gradually, it turned into the size of a normal human being and his originally motionless body slowly sat down on the ground with his legs crossed.
Under his will and the Authentic Qi's support, the Primordial Spirit Clone actually slowly dissolved and once again formed nine of the smaller Primordial Spirit Clone. The eight of them divided into eight directions and instantly formed a gigantic dark golden formation.
This formation shone with a flowing dark golden pattern that spread out from the feet of the eight Primordial Spirit Clone s, slowly enveloping the youth's body.
The figure of the ninth Primordial Spirit Clone flashed and appeared above Hong Ling's head, forming a resonance with the other eight Primordial Spirit Clone s. Streams of lightning slowly appeared, floated around Hong Ling's body, and gradually formed into a lightning web.
Lian Chengyue stood in place and looked at Hong Ling with an expression of disbelief.
”This guy, this is his first try, and he's able to split his soul into nine clones?” She really couldn't understand how Hong Ling, who had only come into contact with the《 Nine Desire Method》 for the first time, could have such a strong sense of comprehension and courage.
The soul had split into nine parts, and the pain within was not something an ordinary person could endure. However, what she did not know, was that Hong Ling's so-called soul, was only his Primordial Spirit Clone.
This palace was already activated by the two of them, so no one could break in.
Lian Chengyue was naturally unconvinced when she saw that Hong Ling was actually able to use the Nine Desire Method. She had taken three days to learn this secret method, and because she was only at the fourth stage of the Martial Arts at that time, it was impossible to find the tenth stage of the Heavenly Fate Barrier.
Earlier, when she had fused with the Phoenix's blood, she had inadvertently triggered the tenth stage of World Barrier, but she was fundamentally unable to break through. Now, she wanted to see whether or not this youth who had been creating miracles was able.
”Hmph, since you are able to use the Nine Supremes Suicide Spell, I cannot admit defeat like this!” The young girl sat down cross-legged. In an instant, a great Nine Supremes Destiny Grasp array slowly appeared around her body, burning with white-gold flames.
Hong Ling's consciousness seemed to have sensed the vague sound of someone calling him from the highest reaches of the heavens. His consciousness gradually floated upwards, pierced through the firmament of this world, and arrived at the vast starry sky.
In his mind, there was a star in the distant space and time that was currently flashing with light, causing him to feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy with it.
”Heaven's Mandate, is actually the born fated star that follows after the birth of a person. Every time a person dies, a meteor will descend from the starry sky and seize the heavens' fate, which is to find the original fated star Chen and draw it into one's own body to refine. From then on, my life is mine, not the Heavens!”
The youth thought back to the information in Jiusi's Fate Method. The corners of his mouth curled up as he faintly smiled. His consciousness continuously moved forward through the nine heavens.
