Ling Yun only took one look and instantly fell silent.
The Devil's Sect's Forbidden Ground was a formation within a formation. It was mysterious.
It was said to be a formation within a formation because Ling Yun had entered the big formation outside and then entered this big formation right after. That was why it was called a formation within a formation.
However, Ling Yun discovered many things after entering. He felt that this Space Formation wasn't as simple as a small formation within the main formation of the Devil's Sect.
He didn't need much evidence. The Devil's Sect's Forbidden Ground that his mother was in was already ten times the size of the ancient city outside!
What did ten times mean?
The city outside was called "Chaoge". It was five kilometers long on each side. It was at least twenty-five square kilometers in size.
In the outside world, this area was already equivalent to the area of an ordinary county.
Even though the forbidden area of the Devil's Sect was shaped like an irregular circle, it was roughly three hundred square kilometers in size!
The current Ling Yun wasn't only a Master of Spell Formations, but he had also established the Dao foundation of the Space-Time Great Dao. He had begun to comprehend the Space-Time Great Dao again. His understanding of space-time, especially space, had long reached a height that cultivators of the same realm couldn't reach!
Even though there was a saying in the Cultivation World, Ling Yun didn't think that the Devil's Sect's Forbidden Ground would be able to fit in the Devil's Sect's Forbidden Ground with just a simple camouflage and a passable defensive formation.
Therefore, Ling Yun's judgment was that the Spatial Formation that he was in was an independent formation. It was just that someone had used a powerful method to "splice" the two formations together.
It was obvious that the Space Formation in the Devil's Sect's Forbidden Ground was at least six levels higher than the Defensive Formation of the Devil's Sect!
Ling Yun knew that this Space Formation didn't block out the sun, moon, and stars. That was because his Stellar Condensation Technique wasn't affected after he entered. In fact, the speed at which he absorbed the power of the moon and the stars was much faster.
This meant that the moon and stars he saw in the night sky were real.
The Spirit Qi inside the formation was exceptionally dense. It was no exaggeration to say that the Spirit Qi here was stronger than that of the Ling Family, which had a Divine Ghost Willow and a Spirit Gathering Formation.
Since he could see the sun, moon, and stars, he boldly deduced that there might be a signal if he took out his communicator or phone at this time.
Another point was that Ling Yun's strong divine sense was completely unhindered within the formation. He could comfortably extend it to all the boundaries of the formation. However, that was as far as he could go. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the boundary barrier of the formation.
Therefore, when Ling Yun first entered the formation, he already had a clear understanding of the situation in the formation. There was no need for anyone to guide him.
He even knew that his mother's real residence was not that palace, nor was it the mansion below, but a valley behind the two green mountains behind her. That place was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. There were a few exquisite bamboo houses built against the mountains. That was where his mother lived all year round.
As for why Ye Xingchen had brought him here, this mansion that was almost identical to the Ling Family's ancestral home was self-explanatory.
"This mansion was completed three years after Aunt Qing took you away from here."
"This was the condition that Master willingly imprisoned herself here, as well as Great Elder Wen Mo's compromise."
"It was obtained by the faction belonging to Wen Mo, Kong Cui, and Yu Gu, the Assassins Organization of the Devil Sect. Before tonight, and even now, this matter has been a top secret of the Glory Sect."
"But after this mansion was completed, Master would often come to visit, but she had never moved in. In my memory, it seems like … she had never entered."
"Because although Master grew up here, she understood the principle of a good woman not wearing wedding clothes."
"Master said that although she had only gone to the Ling Family once, for less than a day and a night, the bravery and fighting spirit of the Ling Family that night was something she would never forget!"
"Therefore, she requested to build this mansion not only to place her longing for Uncle, but also to remember the memory of everyone in the Ling Family who had died in battle for her that night!"
"Because that night, when the Ling Family was faced with a powerful enemy that they could not contend against at all, everyone fought to the death, but not a single person blamed her or complained that it was her arrival that brought about the destruction of the Ling Family."
"Master said that she wanted to cultivate with all her might, and she also wanted me to cultivate with all my might. If she could not see Uncle again in this life, she only had to wait for … Uncle to pass away, then she would leave the Glory Sect, leave this place, kill all her enemies, and then … let me bury her together with Uncle."
Ye Xingchen's voice was low, as if he was weeping and complaining. He told Ling Yun about Yin Qingxuan's past here, and when he spoke of the sad parts, he couldn't help but lower his head and cry.
"Whoosh!"
Ling Yun's hand suddenly glowed with green light!
He summoned the Spirit Willow and threw it casually into the third courtyard of the mansion. It directly took root in the courtyard and abruptly turned into a towering willow tree!
"Boom!"
In an instant, blazing Wood Spirit Qi and Life Essence Qi gushed out from the huge tree trunk. Majestic and turbulent, it spread out in all directions like a tide!
After listening to Ye Xingchen's confession, Ling Yun instinctively wanted to do something, or else he would feel suffocated. He knew that in the Ling Family ancestral mansion, his father had always lived in the third courtyard. Therefore, now, he naturally wanted to plant this Spirit Willow in the third courtyard.
"What a coincidence …"
After planting the Spirit Willow, Ling Yun had long since anticipated the shocking changes that would occur, so he didn't care. However, he suddenly noticed that this Spirit Willow just happened to be the piece of dead wood that his father had given to his mother as a token of love. Later on, Ye Xingchen had brought it out from here and finally ended up in his hands. He had single-handedly cultivated it.
The two pieces of dead wood were originally about a meter long and as thick as an arm. Now, they had grown into towering trees, and their shapes and sizes were different. However, because it was extremely difficult to distinguish the two pieces of dead wood from each other in the beginning, no one could tell which Divine Ghost Willow was which from the beginning.
However, Ling Yun wasn't just anyone. He was the one who had personally cultivated the two pieces of dead wood into towering trees, so he naturally could distinguish them.
"What?"
Ye Xingchen asked in surprise.
Ling Yun raised a hand and pointed. "This Spirit Willow is the piece of dead wood that my father gave to my mother as a token of love."
Ye Xingchen understood and couldn't help but chuckle.
The dead wood had returned to spring and was already towering into the sky.
Ling Yun had grown up and was already able to shelter his parents from wind and rain.
Ling Xiao and Yin Qingxuan, the two who had pledged their love back then, had reunited after being separated for eighteen years.
Every drink and every peck had its own destiny.
"Huh?"
Ling Yun was suddenly surprised. He abruptly extended his powerful divine consciousness to all the boundary barriers of this mysterious spatial formation, his expression solemn.
"Come with me!"
Then, Ling Yun grabbed Ye Xingchen's hand without giving her a chance to explain. His figure abruptly disappeared, only to reappear right after.
"What are we doing here?"
Ye Xingchen discovered that she had actually been brought by Ling Yun to a certain boundary of the forbidden area of the Devil Sect. There was a lush green bamboo forest here, and beyond that was the boundary barrier of the formation.
Ling Yun didn't answer. His sharp eyes swept around and immediately noticed a bluestone on the outskirts of the bamboo forest. He flew over and lightly kicked the stone.
The stone was kicked away and crashed into the boundary barrier, then fell soundlessly to the ground.
"Are you crazy?! Why did you suddenly bring me here to watch you kick a stupid stone?! "
Ye Xingchen's pretty face flushed red. She thought that Ling Yun had brought her here to do something naughty, but when she saw that Ling Yun didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything to her at all, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
However, Ling Yun still didn't answer. He only waved at her, then squatted down and stared at the stone. His expression was as if the stone could grow gold.
Ye Xingchen was even more puzzled. She couldn't care less and immediately flashed to Ling Yun's side. She actually squatted down and watched with him.
As she watched, Ye Xingchen's little mouth gradually opened wide, and finally, she was completely dumbfounded.
"This …"
The bluestone that Ling Yun had kicked to the boundary actually had an additional empty space outside it!
Obviously, the boundary of the spatial formation in the forbidden area of the Devil Sect was actually slowly expanding outwards!
Ling Yun didn't say anything. He simply raised his hand and directly grabbed the bluestone, pushing it outwards forcefully until it was firmly in contact with the boundary of the space. Only then did he let go.
The result was even more obvious. The two of them watched helplessly as in less than a minute, another palm-sized space appeared behind the bluestone!
At this time, Ling Yun turned his head and looked at Ye Xingchen's perfect side profile. His eyes were full of excitement as he said excitedly, "How is it?"
"The space of our Devil Sect's forbidden area is actually expanding?! H-how is this possible?! "
Ye Xingchen was extremely shocked!
"What Devil Sect's forbidden area? It's just a name. If my judgment is correct, this spatial formation isn't a formation at all, but …"
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes blinked. "What is it?"
"It's a small world that can grow!"
"A small world?!" Ye Xingchen exclaimed, but she quickly shook her head. "How is that possible? You have to know that even though the environment inside the formation has changed in various ways over the years, its area has never changed! "
"Why is it impossible? That was because I wasn't here before. If I were here, it would have changed a long time ago."
Ling Yun was overjoyed. He was extremely proud, but in fact, he was extremely happy because this was definitely a shocking discovery!
A small world with such a large space and incomparably dense spiritual energy that could grow naturally — its value was simply indescribable!
Ling Yun suddenly turned back, his divine consciousness firmly locked onto his Divine Ghost Willow. He knew that this small world hadn't changed for so many years. Now that it had suddenly grown and expanded, it had something to do with his Divine Ghost Willow.
Divine Ghost Willow.
Also known as the Heavenly Divine Ghost Willow.
Rooted in the Nine Hells, it fed on the souls of ghosts and gods, but it released pure wood spiritual energy, life essence, and Black Yellow Immortal Spiritual Energy.
When it truly grew, its trunk could penetrate the heavens and penetrate the earth, connecting to any space in the Three Realms. It was unpredictable!
This was the Ling Family's inheritance!
"If it can nourish a small world …" Even Ling Yun himself couldn't believe it. "Isn't this too powerful?"
