"Reporting to Young Master, Gongsun Zhanyi reports that three half-step Zhou Tian gods have come to see Young Master. Young Master, please give us your orders." In this tense moment, Gao Yuan's clear and loud voice suddenly rang out and entered Ling Dong and Bai Bai Xuan's ears.
This clear and loud report was like a bell in this quiet room where only Bai Bai Xuan's heavy breathing could be heard. It instantly attracted Bai Bai Xuan's attention.
Or rather, Gao Yuan's voice caused Bai Bai Xuan's attention to focus on Ling Dong's evildoer state to be naturally divided. This caused the blood in Bai Bai Xuan's eyes to dim and dissipate.
Seeing this, Ling Dong, who had been careful not to wake Bai Bai Xuan up, finally sighed in relief. It was fine.
Don't look at it. Ling Dong took the initiative to wake Bai Bai Xuan up. There was a difference between Gao Yuan and Bai Bai Xuan waking up naturally.
It was like a person who was extremely focused and meditating when someone suddenly slapped him on the shoulder. This slap might startle him and make him jump up. Worse, he might be so scared that he would sweat profusely. There was even a possibility that he would fall ill.
But if there were footsteps outside the door or the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, it would naturally attract the attention of the person who was meditating. That kind of concentration would dissipate without any fluctuations and wouldn't cause any fright.
If Ling Dong woke Bai Bai Xuan up, it would be the former. If an unrelated voice outside woke Bai Bai Xuan up, it would be the latter.
"Uh … this is …" The moment his eyes regained clarity, Bai Bai Xuan was in a daze. He still didn't understand the situation in front of him. Ling Dong endured the pain caused by the trembling of his spirit and condensed a small ball of seven-colored starlight. He slowly sent it to Bai Bai Xuan. "Senior Brother, refine it to replenish your spirit."
Bai Bai Xuan was now a treasure. Not only was his personal combat strength amazing, but he was also related to Ling Dong's future rune cultivator army. Ling Dong didn't want Bai Bai Xuan's fragile spirit source to be harmed.
The moment Bai Bai Xuan closed his eyes and absorbed the seven-coloured starlight, his mind regaining clarity, all the panic from before filled his mind.
"Junior Brother, this is …" Bai Bai Xuan's face was full of shame as he looked at the large mass of blood Ling Dong spit out. He stood up and solemnly bowed to Ling Dong. "My narrow-mindedness today has caused Junior Brother to suffer. I've made Junior Brother laugh."
Ling Dong wanted to avoid Bai Bai Xuan's salute, but the backlash from the laws of heaven and earth made him unable to move. He could only accept Bai Bai Xuan's salute. "As long as Senior Brother is fine and doesn't leave behind any heart demons, my injuries won't be a problem."
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Bai Bai Xuan's expression suddenly became serious. "I'm already old, but I can't see through things as clearly as Junior Brother. Why would I care about false reputation?
It must be Junior Brother Tianci who gave it to my Heavenly Seal Sect. With Junior Brother's rare talent in cultivating runes, my Heavenly Seal Sect is destined to prosper. My unfulfilled lifelong wish is to fulfill Master's last wish and prosper the Heavenly Seal Sect. "
After a pause, Bai Bai Xuan continued, "Right and wrong have karma. Who would know that it's easy for others to cultivate? Junior Brother, I was just being delusional. Is Junior Brother okay? "
The moment he finished speaking, the entanglement between Bai Bai Xuan's brows disappeared. His expression returned to indifference and an elegant and otherworldly feeling came over him.
"I'm fine. I just suffered a bit of backlash from the laws of heaven and earth. Senior Brother, you … "Ling Dong was a bit puzzled when he felt Bai Bai Xuan's elegant and otherworldly aura.
"Ah, it's good that you're fine. It's all thanks to Junior Brother's blessing that I gained a blessing in disguise. After this tribulation, my mind has faintly become clear. " At this point, Ling Dong bowed slightly and said, "Junior Brother, please send me to the Ten Thousand Star Temple to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and prepare for an opportunity."
Ling Dong was a little dizzy as he responded. However, the word 'opportunity' at the end made Ling Dong suddenly happy. "Senior Martial Brother, are you saying that I can take that step?"
Bai Bai Xuan nodded with a smile. Ling Dong was overjoyed and immediately asked, "How long does Senior Brother estimate it will take?"
"My state of mind is close to perfection, and the Dao of Heaven and Earth is the strong point of ancient talisman cultivators. I just need to calm my mind and gather them. With the God Sealing Stone in hand, everything is ready. I estimate that I can take that step in less than a year."
After a pause, Bai Bai Xuan continued, "In a few days, I'll have to trouble Junior Brother to find a place for me to calmly refine the God Sealing Stone and break through."
"Of course, I will definitely arrange it for Senior Brother." Ling Dong nodded happily. If Bai Bai Xuan's cultivation broke through to Zhou Tianshen's within a year, he would have an even stronger existence on his side.
Before the breakthrough, Bai Bai Xuan already had the combat strength of a Zhou Tianshen. What about after the breakthrough?
Ling Dong suddenly had some expectations. The moment his Divine Sense fell on Bai Bai Xuan, he moved him into the Ten Thousand Star Temple. At the same time, Ling Dong heard Bai Bai Xuan's words. "Junior Brother, do your best to cultivate these days. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.
Although Junior Brother's talent is outstanding, you still need to practice Void Finger Runes diligently. Once Junior Brother is diligent and has carved the main battle runes in your heart, it will become a habit. When you can create dozens of runes in half a breath, Void Finger Runes will be formed! You can fight! "
"Create dozens of runes in a few breaths. Void Finger Runes will be formed! You can fight … "After listening to Bai Bai Xuan's instructions, Ling Dong smiled bitterly.
Just as Bai Bai Xuan said, his Void Finger Runes were formed, but if he wanted to have combat strength, he still needed to go through a lot of hard work.
For example, the last Two World Rune Chop took Ling Dong a full ten breaths to release and he also suffered a violent backlash from the laws of heaven and earth. However, when Bai Bai Xuan fought the dark-clothed law enforcers of the Tenmu Temple in front of the Ling family's castle, at least four or five Two World Rune Chop flew out in a breath, killing the dark-clothed law enforcers of the Tenmu Temple.
The gap between them wasn't something that Ling Dong could make up for in a few days or half a month. It was real hard work. Ling Dong estimated that if he practiced hard for a month or two, he might be able to release one Two World Rune Chop in a breath. However, if he wanted to reach Bai Bai Xuan's level of four or five World Rune Chop in a breath, it would take a long time.
Moreover, the last Two World Rune Chop caused Ling Dong to suffer an unprecedented backlash from the laws of heaven and earth. If Ling Dong didn't have the protection of the seven-colored starlight of the Master Star Plate and the seven-colored starlight's rapid recovery after his Spirit was damaged, Ling Dong's Spirit Origin would have disappeared in this backlash from the laws of heaven and earth.
This was also the first time that Ling Dong truly experienced the difficulties of ancient talisman cultivation. This was also because Ling Dong's Little Zhou Tian Divine Body could communicate with heaven and earth. If Ling Dong didn't have the Little Zhou Tian Divine Body, he was afraid that today's first Two World Rune Chop would definitely fail.
At that time, not only would he have to face the backlash from the laws of heaven and earth, but he would also have to face the backlash from the massive amount of essence of heaven and earth that had gathered. Under this deep experience, Ling Dong understood the helplessness of Bai Bai Xuan's hundreds of senior and junior brothers dying. Perhaps Bai Bai Xuan was extremely lucky to be able to live until now.
After a few breaths, the Master Star Plate in his Spirit Sea of Knowledge spun rapidly, sprinkling a large amount of seven-colored starlight into Ling Dong's Spirit Sea of Knowledge. After a few breaths, Ling Dong's pale face slowly recovered.
"Three half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods? Who are they? Didn't I already tell them? If half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods come, will Old Wu receive them first? "Ling Dong asked.
"Replying to Young Master, the leader is called Zhangsun Tong. When they came, they already informed Old Wu to receive them for a discussion. Old Wu also talked to them about their intentions and confirmed that they came to seek refuge with Young Master. However, they insisted that they wanted to see Young Master in person and talk to Young Master in person. As a last resort, Old Wu told this subordinate to report to Young Master. "Gao Yuan replied.
"Oh, they want to talk to me in person? Zhangsun Tong, he dares to talk to us about conditions? "Thinking of Zhangsun Tong's desperate battle in the Star Dou Mountain Range, Ling Dong's face showed anger.
However, there was no reason to reject the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods that came knocking on his door. After pondering for a moment, Ling Dong said, "Go, tell them to wait first. Tell them that I am at a critical juncture in my cultivation and will finish in a day."
"Yes, I will follow Young Master's instructions!" When Gao Yuan left with the order, Ling Dong took a deep breath and cleared his mind. He began to meditate on what he had learned from practicing the [Void Finger Charm] these days.
Ling Dong had learned a lot and comprehended a lot in the past few months. Ling Dong needed some time to summarize and sort it out. Strike while the iron is hot, this was one of the reasons.
Secondly, Ling Dong had just suffered a backlash from the laws of the world and his Spirit Sea was quite weak. If he went to see those half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, he would show weakness for no reason. And even with the help of the Star Master Disk, Ling Dong would need nearly a day to fully recover.
Of course, Ling Dong came with the intention of giving them the cold shoulder. There had to be a difference in the treatment of first come, first served.
"What, your Young Master will only have time to see us in a day? Hmph, what does he mean by this? " After receiving Gao Yuan's report, the three half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods in the Ling family castle's guest hall immediately had ugly expressions.
With their eyesight, how could they not guess that Ling Dong was looking for an excuse to give them the cold shoulder?
"Are you looking down on us or what, Brother Zhangsun?" One of the half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods, who had a short temper, immediately showed signs of flaring up.
"Hmph, Old Chang, what, do you think Young Master Ling is your junior and you can order him around whenever you want? If you don't want to, feel free to leave. No one in the Ling family castle begged you to come. "
Just as the cultivator surnamed Chang was about to lose his temper, Wu Zheng Yang's indifferent words immediately cut him off, causing his face to turn extremely ugly as he turned to look at their backbone, Zhangsun Tong.
"Wait!"
Zhangsun Tong clenched his teeth, his facial muscles protruding as he spat out a single word.
With Zhangsun Tong's decision, the three didn't avoid arousing suspicion. They coldly glared at Wu Zheng Yang, their eyes saying that he wasn't much better than them. Then, they sat cross-legged on the ground and waited.
"Young Master, the three seniors have been waiting for you here." The next day, when Gao Yuan's voice rang out in the distance, Zhangsun Tong and the other two instantly stood up.
