Whoosh!
Just as Jiang Fan had left this area, a terrifying demon broke through the void and arrived in an instant.
It happened to appear above the area where Xu Ling died, the demonic aura around it swept through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, causing the void in this area to tremble.
As if just a glance was enough to bring death to countless living beings.
This is the terrifying demon in the Body Integration Realm, beyond the imagination of ordinary beings.
"Gone? How could they escape so quickly?"
"Who exactly killed my pawn?!"
This demon was outraged and furious.
Because Xu Ling was a pawn it had favored, intending to lure him into the Demon Dao and cultivate the Demon Technique.
Once this happened, upon Xu Ling advancing to Refining Void, he would be devoured, becoming nourishment for the demon.
Thus aiding its cultivation to progress further.
But now, an enemy had killed its pawn, effectively disrupting a plan it had devised over years.
The previous investments were gone, a failed attempt ending in vain.
So it immediately broke through the void, seeking to find the so-called thief, intending to shred them into pieces.
However, what it did not expect was that upon arriving here, the thief had long since disappeared, with not a trace for hundreds of thousands of kilometers around.
This only made it more madly furious.
But it had no means of action, even as a demon in the Body Integration Realm, it was helpless without a trace of the enemy, only able to vent its anger and leave.
Because it sensed that upon the emergence of the Demon Cave, the Integration Cultivators of the Great Xuan Dynasty had arrived.
The subsequent battle promised to be fierce.
However, the Demon Race had prepared for this day for a long time, and the Human Race could not easily eliminate the Demon Cave.
......
Meanwhile, in the Great Xuan Dynasty, the imperial capital.
This place swarmed with experts, the core of the Human Race, housing an unknown number of Refining Void and Integration Cultivators.
Perhaps even hidden Mahayana Cultivators.
The entire imperial capital had a history of billions of years, never having fallen.
Thus the city gathered the peerless prodigies of the entire Human Race and amassed endless destiny.
In a certain princess’s mansion.
At this moment, an exquisite woman appeared here, a single toe tapping the golden stairs as her skirt woven from peacock feathers fluttered with a ripple of gold.
Twelve strips of moon brocade layered into cloud-like shoulders, the silver thread adorned with pearls from the southern seas glimmered in the sunlight like a galaxy, each pearl echoed with the blood-red rubies on her earlobes, reflecting a scorching noble aura.
Her jade-like face was shrouded in a misty glow, beneath distant mountain brows lay amber pupils, the eyetails set with three bits of diamond sparkled as she glanced around, seeming to gather the stars into her gaze. Her crimson lips needed no enhancement, the dimples at the corners of her mouth held a hint of a smile yet still emanated the innate aloofness of royalty.
The emerald-studded belt on her waist defined a slim figure, the curves beneath silk moved with a ripple, the thin veil could not hide the snow-like skin contrasting starkly with the jewel-encrusted garment.
When she raised her hand to adjust the diamond-adorned golden hairpin beside her temples, the candles of the entire palace dimmed, leaving only her surrounded by breathtaking brilliance and majesty.
If Jiang Fan appeared here, he would surely recognize this woman as Ye Linglong.
Originally, she was just an orphan from the orphanage.
But somehow, it was detected that she possessed the royal bloodline, believed to be a princess of the Human Emperor lineage, lost outside, so she was brought back to the imperial capital by the dynasty’s Hidden Guard.
After a series of verifications, her identity as a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty was confirmed.
Because of this, Ye Linglong received a series of royal treatment and was granted a princess mansion.
The swift change in her life’s fortune left her utterly astonished.
And all of this stemmed from meeting that mysterious man.
"Fengming Halberd, do you say I possess a special Life Chart?"
"Is the reason for having top talent due to the influence of the Life Chart?"
At this time, Ye Linglong spoke to the immortal artifact Fengming Halberd within her.
What the world did not know was that she not only received the immortal’s legacy, but also obtained an immortal artifact Fengming Halberd, which contained immense power and was a protective artifact.
Also of high status.
Even though the Great Xuan Dynasty conducted multiple tests, it could not detect where this immortal artifact was hiding.
"Precisely."
"This matter in the Immortal Realm is common knowledge."
"However, in the Mortal World, certain cultivators with special talents are thought to have awakened a special Spirit Body."
"But in fact, it’s just awakening a special Life Chart."
"Therefore, a Spirit Body cannot be inherited, only randomly obtained by different cultivators."
"The Life Chart you awakened is called Only I am Venerable, belonging to the Immortal Destiny."
"As long as you do not die, you will surely become an Immortal."
The immortal artifact Fengming Halberd explained.
To it, these were merely common knowledge, but in the Mortal World, these constituted highly confidential intelligence.
Few cultivators would know.
"So does this mean that when my siblings suddenly manifested special talents, it was actually due to awakening a Life Chart?" Ye Linglong asked.
Indeed, after Jiang Fan left, she discovered her siblings awakening different talents, initially worrying whether something adverse might occur.
