Hong Ling was astonished. "The power of the heavens? Are … are you kidding me? "
She knew what the power of the heavens entailed. This was the power of the Heavenly Dao! How could an ordinary Return to Void Stage cultivator like her possess such a special power?
"There's no mistaking it. This is not the first time I've encountered this type of power. Who would have thought that your power would be like this?" An Lin was also quite surprised.
The Heavenly Human Tribe could use the power of the heavens, but that was only because the Heavenly Dao had given them hacks. From a cultivator perspective, only the Celestial Thearch could use the power of the heavens. The Celestial Thearch was only able to use the power of the heavens due to his extremely deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao. So why was Hong Ling's divine dao the power of the heavens?
"But … isn't my divine dao growing? It's still growing … "Hong Ling was still struggling to accept this.
An Lin was also stumped. This was completely out of his expectations.
It was also at this moment that a black light suddenly flashed behind him, immediately following which a faint bodily fragrance wafted toward him. A petite little girl had already appeared beside him.
The little girl wore a black dress and had long, black hair that reached her waist. She had inky-black dead fish eyes, and a round, chubby face.
"Little Xie! Why did you come out? "An Lin was a little excited.
That's right, this super adorable little girl was none other than his sword spirit, Little Xie.
Little Xie didn't say anything as she stared intently at Hong Ling with her dead fish eyes.
"Wow, so adorable …" Hong Ling also raised her head to look at Little Xie with rippling eyes.
She was very short, even shorter than Little Xie by a head, but she felt like Little Xie was more adorable than her, and a hint of desire welled up in her heart.
"Sect Leader An Lin, is this your sword spirit? Can you let me touch her? " Hong Ling looked at Little Xie's face and couldn't control her own hands. Such a chubby, chubby face would definitely be very easy to touch!
"Piss off!" Little Xie spoke in a cold voice.
"You still haven't told me why you suddenly came out. Did you miss me?" An Lin had already drawn Little Xie's soft body into his arms before kneading her face as if he were kneading dough.
This feeling, this smooth, soft feeling …
It was so exciting!
"Let me go."
"No!"
"Rip!"
The Evil-Slaying Sword suddenly plunged viciously into An Lin's waist, and blood gushed forth like a fountain.
"Ouch! Ouch ouch ouch … "
"Are you going to let go of me?"
"Let's go, let's go. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I really miss you."
An Lin chuckled apologetically and reluctantly let go of his hands.
Little Hong Ling's eyes widened. An Lin, who had always been tall and mighty like a God of War, was actually injured? This sword spirit was not simple!
"I revealed my true form because of you …" Little Xie pointed at Little Hong Ling and said in a childish voice, "I know what you are."
An Lin's interest was immediately piqued. "What is she?"
"Blessed by the Heavenly Dao," Little Xie replied in an indifferent voice.
"Favored by the Heavenly Dao?" An Lin and little Hong Ling were stunned at the same time, and they muttered and repeated.
"That's right. You are a living being blessed by the heavens." Little Xie nodded and said, "When I saw you and heard some of your experiences, this information appeared in my mind."
Little Hong Ling's first reaction was disbelief. She shook her head. "That's impossible. I've never grown up, and my background is so pitiful. How could I be blessed by the Heavenly Dao?"
"Think about it. What is the ultimate goal of most living beings?" Little Xie suddenly asked.
Hong Ling's eyes were a little glazed over, but she still replied, "Pursue … pursue the end of dao? Pursue transcendence? "
"You're wrong." Little Xie immediately shook her head, and a profound look suddenly appeared in her eyes. "There are countless living beings in this world. Regardless of whether they are highly intelligent or unintelligent, their fundamental pursuit is to survive, and their ultimate pursuit is eternal life."
An Lin nodded slightly upon hearing this, clearly in agreement with Little Xie's words.
Little Xie looked at the little girl before her with a serious expression. "Ever since you were born, you'll never grow old. You'll always maintain the appearance of a three or four year old. You'll live in the most perfect state, and your life force won't weaken with the passage of time …
"This is the eternal life that all living beings yearn for. You've already attained this at the age of three or four. Isn't this the greatest blessing the Heavenly Dao has bestowed upon you?"
Hong Ling's mouth gaped open upon hearing this. "My life force won't weaken?"
"Now that you mention it, it really is the case. Little Hong Ling's life force has been locked at the age of three or four, and there's no loss of any life force essence!" An Lin used his Evergreen Technique to inspect little Hong Ling's body with an expression of surprise on his face.
"But I want to grow up. This has always been my wish. Can't the Heavenly Dao grant me eternal life when I turn eighteen?" Hong Ling spoke with an aggrieved expression.
"At the time, the Heavenly Dao didn't know that you wanted to grow up so badly. It simply wanted to grant you eternal life. After that, it learned of your wish, so the effect of your divine dao was to grant you eternal life, "Little Xie replied.
His words were like a wake-up call.
Little Hong Ling and An Lin were both stunned.
Holy shit! Now that he thought about it, this explanation seemed very reasonable!
"As for why you become more powerful after cursing the heavens, that's because you've cursed the Heavenly Dao. The subconscious will of the Heavenly Dao can sense your negative emotions, and it's taking care of you. However, it's not an independent life form, so it doesn't know what it's done wrong. As such, it can only use the simplest and most direct method to make you happy, and that is to make you more powerful!"
An Lin was shocked.
Little Hong Ling opened her small mouth.
Although this explanation sounded bizarre, why did it feel so real?!
"Now, think about your own cultivation experiences. Have you been extremely lucky during these past few years? Have you encountered many miraculous encounters?" Little Xie continued.
Little Hong Ling nodded with difficulty. She pulled out a high-rank immortal sword that was imbued with water and fire. "When I forged this sword, I just so happened to lack two immortal items of pure water and fire attributes. At this time, two Return to Void Stage ferocious beasts came to the Drifting Cloud Nation to wreak havoc. I slayed them, and I just so happened to have them … There are many more, such as falling off a cliff and discovering an immortal spell scroll, encountering a dying immortal to inherit his legacy, killing a small beast and finding a treasure map in its stomach …"
An Lin was dumbstruck upon hearing this.
Why hadn't he experienced any of these experiences that little Hong Ling was describing?
"Do you see that? This is all because the Heavenly Dao is taking care of you!" Little Xie spoke with conviction.
"But … if the Heavenly Dao really is taking care of me, then why isn't it making me more powerful now that I'm cursing it? Could it be that it doesn't like me anymore? "A hint of sorrow appeared in little Hong Ling's eyes.
Little Xie chuckled. "Unrequited love will eventually run dry. Why don't you change your way of interacting with the Heavenly Dao?"
"Change my way?" Little Hong Ling blinked her large eyes.
Little Xie pointed up into the sky with a charming smile. "You've already cursed it for so many years. Why don't you praise it now?"
