Meanwhile, Zero was being controlled by a force so powerful that he couldn't break free. He felt a sharp pain between his brows as a fierce and domineering aura surged into his consciousness, forcefully asserting its dominance.
For a moment, the Earth Spirit, the Blade Spirit, and Hua Xingcheng were all suppressed by this power.
Among them, the Earth Spirit, the Blade Spirit, and Hua Xingcheng are all spirit bodies. That powerful force was precisely aimed at their spiritual sea of consciousness, and at this moment, they suffered the most severe damage.
The sword spirit was directly blasted back into the blade, the earth spirit's brows were furrowed and its condition was not good, while Hua Xingcheng fainted...
Only Xiao Jiu seemed unaffected.
My forehead and head felt like they were about to split in two, a painful, throbbing sensation.
Ling's face turned deathly pale in an instant. She immediately covered her head and knelt on the ground.
The once clear sea of consciousness has now turned crimson, like a raging sea of blood, churning violently.
The fierce and domineering scroll unfurled, and the "Spirit Destruction Technique" was deeply imprinted in Zero's mind. The power contained within was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Before Ling could even see what was inside the "Spirit Destruction Technique," the harsh, screeching voice forcibly pulled him back to his senses.
The phantom floated in front of him, laughing wickedly at the sky.
"Very good, you've already performed the apprenticeship ceremony so quickly, what a good disciple."
Zero stared at him coldly, a drop of blood still clinging to her brow.
"I never agreed to be your apprentice."
"Opposition is useless; you have already felt my power. Moreover, you have already received my life's work of martial arts techniques, and from now on, you are my disciple."
The figure ignored Zero's opinion and spoke frankly.
Seeing Zero's impatient expression, his face immediately hardened:
"What kind of expression is that! You should feel honored to be my disciple!"
Zero angrily got up from the ground and said:
"This is clearly coercion!"
"I don't care. You are the first man to enter my secret chamber. Once you receive the inheritance, you will be my disciple!"
The old man was being unreasonable, and then he glanced at the zeros several times with disdain.
If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation technique could only be practiced by men, he wouldn't have chosen Zero. The little girl next to him seemed stronger, and she also had an aura about her that he couldn't quite fathom...
"However, you are so weak now, merely at the Spirit Emperor Realm. Taking you as my disciple would be a loss for me! Giving you my inheritance is actually a bargain for you!"
Zero vomiting blood.
Are you kidding me? No... this person forced him to accept the inheritance, and now they're complaining that he's too weak?
Zero is truly speechless.
"However... since I have given you my inheritance and taken you as my disciple, you have to do me a favor."
The old man changed his previous sinister and terrifying tone, and became slightly more serious.
"What's up?"
Zero asked the question almost instinctively.
"I am now just an avatar, about to vanish from the world..."
"A clone?"
Is it the same kind as Li Su?
"Once you reach the Spirit Venerable realm, you will be able to condense an avatar. The avatar can perish, while the main body remains unharmed, which can be considered a means of survival... And what I need your help with is to rescue my main body after you reach the Spirit Venerable realm..."
The illusory figure said in a deep voice.
"Then where is your true form? How can I find it?"
Since things had come to this point, Zero had no choice but to agree, after all, he had accepted the inheritance and had a half-master-disciple relationship with the old man.
"Once you reach the Spirit Venerable Realm, the passage to the Upper Realm will open. At that time, go to the Seven Gods Sect, kill a person named Zu Tan, and my true form will appear. However, that person's strength is already at the Spirit Saint stage. Many years have passed, and I don't know if he has broken through the interface's upper limit and reached the Spirit Emperor stage..."
Ling's lips twitched slightly. Only those at the Spirit Venerable Realm could enter the Upper Realm; wasn't that a bit too far off...?
As for the Spirit Emperor realm... he had heard Tu Ling mention it before; it was a realm above the seven major realms, at which point the spiritual energy would turn black.
He's only at the Spirit Emperor level now, and his cultivation will become increasingly slow and difficult. Who knows how long it will take him to reach that stage...
Moreover, he was currently in the human realm where spiritual energy was scarce...
"Are you sure you want to find me? Even if I can rescue your original body, it will take many years..."
That's true.
In the human realm, Zero could be considered a powerful figure, but in the upper realm, where spiritual cultivation was everywhere, he was merely a small figure.
Moreover, his ultimate goal is to defeat Li Su, this "demon seed".
He would not go to the Upper Realm before eliminating Li Su.
However, Zero was unaware that he would soon be forced to travel to the Upper Realm. And the crisis in the Human Realm was far more complex than it appeared…
Upon hearing Zero's words, the old man glanced at him a few times, then burst into laughter.
Interesting. There are three more spirits in the spiritual space. As for the third one, I can't tell what it is yet. But... it's rare for a human body to have so many special beings.
This kid is indeed qualified to inherit his legacy and mantle.
"No, you possess special powers, I believe in you! Besides, I've waited for hundreds of years, a few more years won't make a difference..."
With this little guy's talent, I believe it won't be long before he stirs up trouble in the Upper Realm again...
"Is there anything else?"
Ling only thought the old man had talent, unaware that the old man had already seen through him, and the secret of the space was revealed in an instant.
"I have given you the 'Spirit Destruction Technique,' so cultivate it well; it will be of great help to you."
After saying this, the old man sighed softly, his anger dissipating, and his voice softened slightly.
"Remember your teacher well."
Zero gave him a deep look, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
The emaciated figure gradually turned transparent, and the figures in the secret room also turned into scattered stars, as if what had happened before was just an illusion.
Immediately, Zero's sea of consciousness began to ache again, and the "Spirit Destruction Technique" from before started operating involuntarily. Zero had no choice but to sit cross-legged, close his eyes, and regulate his breathing.
"Destroying Spirit Technique" is a cultivation method, and it is not difficult to digest and master.
This is a cultivation technique targeting the soul, with a total of six levels. As one's cultivation level increases, one can master more levels.
Zero is currently at the Spirit Emperor stage, which allows him to learn the first two levels.
Even with just the most basic introductory two layers, Zero spent a long time studying them.
After thoroughly studying it, Ling practiced it continuously in his mind, gradually becoming proficient from the initial unfamiliarity.
Time flew by. Zi You, who was standing nearby, found some spiritual herbs and fruits containing spiritual energy from somewhere. Every now and then, she would feed Ling one of them, which not only filled his stomach but also provided him with a small amount of spiritual energy.
Before they knew it, more than half a month had passed since the two left their base.
Meanwhile, the base was unaware of what had happened between Zero and Zi You, and they faced yet another life-or-death test.
The crisis did not disappear during Zero's absence; instead, it swept towards them with overwhelming force...
