At the back mountain of the Ji Clan, the elder in white waved his hands. Spiritual energy filled the air and a technique materialized.
To those who are close to the Dao, carving techniques on the stones is not difficult. What is difficult is how to make the technique as powerful as if it was done by the elder himself.
That is almost impossible. Even an undefeatable real immortal cannot do that.
However, it is possible to have some of his strength. It is just that the price is high – at least two drops of blood.
If this was anyone else, even if it was the leader of the Ji Clan, the elder in white wouldn't agree. But since it was Ling Xian, he naturally wouldn't say no.
Thus, the elder in white forced out two drops of blood and dripped them onto the two stones.
Then, a technique materialized. One for defense, the other for offense. Both techniques are forbidden for real immortals.
"It's done." The elder in white smiled. His face was a little pale.
Although he was a Near-Dao Cultivator who could sweep through the human world, the Origin Blood was not to be underestimated. Losing two drops naturally made him a little weak.
"Thank you, elder." Ling Xian's heart warmed. He didn't think the elder in white would give up two drops of blood for him without batting an eyelid.
"You are too kind. Compared to your kindness, two drops of blood are nothing."
The elder in white smiled warmly, "The stone on the left is a defensive technique. The stone on the right is an offensive technique. They both contain some of my strength."
Hearing this, Ling Xian revealed a smile. He was very happy.
Though it was only a bit of the elder's strength, the elder was close to the Dao. Even one-thousandth of his strength was enough to kill a normal cultivator of the ninth level.
"I don't know what you are going to do. But for you to ask, it must be something dangerous."
The elder in white erased his smile, "If you need anything, just say the word. The Ji Clan will do its best."
"If I need anything, I won't hesitate." Ling Xian softly smiled. The Star of Sin only allowed those below the ninth level to enter. If this rule didn't exist, he would've asked the elder in white to help.
He put the two stones into his pouch and smiled, "I will be leaving now."
"Go. Be careful." The elder in white stroked his beard.
"Let's go." Ling Xian glanced at Ye Yi before his silhouette faded and disappeared.
Ye Yi did the same.
When she reappeared, she was already out of the Ji Clan.
"What a big deal. A Near-Dao Approach cultivator is willing to pay two drops of Origin Blood."
Ye Yi stared at Ling Xian and said, "Even the leader of the Ji Clan doesn't have this kind of face."
Hearing this, Ling Xian softly smiled and didn't say anything.
He had extended the white-robed old man's life by ten years. This was a huge favor, so the white-robed old man would naturally not be stingy with his essence blood.
"With these two Divine Stones, our chances of success are much higher. However, there is still a slim chance of survival."
Ling Xian wiped off his smile, "You told me to give it my all. I hope you don't hold back."
"Do not worry, I will not be stingy with my life-saving treasures." Ye Yi looked at Ling Xian seriously, "Thank you."
"It's too early to thank me." Ling Xian grinned.
"It's not early. Regardless of whether this trip succeeds or fails, I still have to thank you." Ye Yi's expression was serious. She knew very well how dangerous this trip was. The fact that Ling Xian was willing to help was already a great favor.
"Alright, enough with the emotional words."
Ling Xian grinned, "You know the location of the Star of Sin Suppression right?"
"Of course." Ye Yi softly nodded.
"Then you drive the boat." Ling Xian's smile disappeared. After Ye Yi steered the boat, he asked, "Do you have a plan? We can't start a war right away. "
"Do I look like an idiot?"
Ye Yi rolled her eyes at Ling Xian, "We have two goals for this trip. One is to save my Clan members. The other is to find my father's Vessel of Truth."
"Let's talk about the first one. Most of my Clan members are in the mines of the seven controlling forces. The guards there are not strong, so saving them won't be difficult."
"However, the rest of my Clan members are locked in the dungeon. To save them, we will have to fight against the seven controlling forces."
Ye Yi's expression was heavy and she felt troubled.
The seven controlling forces have been around for tens of thousands of years. Even if they don't have ninth leveled cultivators, they have techniques that can threaten ninth leveled cultivators. Fighting them head on, their chances of winning are slim.
"That's true." Ling Xian frowned, feeling a headache coming on.
If it was to steal treasures, it would be a piece of cake for him. However, the people he was trying to save were living people.
The targets were too big and there was more than one of them. To save people without alerting the seven controlling forces was a fool's dream.
"I have gotten to know the descendants of the seven controlling forces. If we use them, we might be able to sneak into the dungeon."
Ye Yi frowned slightly and said, "It's just that after rescuing them, it will be very difficult to leave quietly."
Hearing this, Ling Xian thought about it for a while and said, "Let's sneak in first. We have no other way."
"That's a good idea. After we arrive at the Planet of Zhen Zin, I will use the excuse of visiting a friend to enter the seven controlling forces." Ye Yi nodded without hesitation.
Just like Ling Xian said, there was no other way. If they were to be overly cautious, it would be a waste of time.
"When the time comes, you can say you are my servant." Ye Yi played with her bangs.
"I can say I am your cousin." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't want to be Ye Yi's servant, even if it was just a disguise.
"No, just a servant."
Ye Yi blinked, "This identity makes it easier for people to ignore you."
"Don't think I can't tell. You just want to torment me." Ling Xian glared at Ye Yi.
"Smart. But I am right. The identity of a servant makes it easier for people to ignore you." Ye Yi grinned.
"This is not a long-term hiding. There is no point in being unnoticeable."
Ling Xian said softly, "Alright, cousin. If you speak any more bullsh * t, I will turn around and leave."
"You!"
Ye Yi was furious. Seeing that Ling Xian wasn't going to negotiate, she hissed, "Whatever. But, you have to say you are my cousin."
"It can only be you." Ling Xian said softly, "If you speak any more, I won't be able to."
"You!" Ye Yi's teeth were itching, but there was nothing she could do.
She didn't speak anymore and focused on piloting the ship.
Ling Xian also didn't speak anymore. He absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, trained, and waited.
Time passed by little by little. After two months, a red star appeared in his vision.
This star was as red as blood, eerie and terrifying. The carvings on its surface formed the character "Sin", making everyone shudder.
"This is the Star of Sin …" Ling Xian squinted his eyes.
"That's right. This star wasn't originally called Sin. After my father betrayed the universe, it was called Sin."
Ye Yi sighed. There was helplessness and hatred.
"I understand." Ling Xian softly sighed. The Fallen Immortals betrayed the universe. In the eyes of the radical faction, they were evil beyond redemption.
However, the descendants of the Fallen Immortals were innocent. Enslaving them until now was a bit over the line.
"Let's go. First, we will save your people in the mines. Then, we will sneak into the seven forces."
Ling Xian waved his sleeve and put the ship into his storage pouch. Then, he landed on the Star of Sin.
Ye Yi followed closely behind.
In the next second, the two passed through the barrier and entered the Star of Sin.
