Along the way, Chu Lian and Mingxiu, this pair of senior brother and junior sister, had personally witnessed the tragic scenes in various places.
The Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family exploited the various races, and they had to pay tribute on time. Even the taxes were heavier than before.
Although the various races guessed that the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family might be doing something big and hoarding resources, the burden of the various races fell upon them.
However, these burdens had basically fallen on the shoulders of the various clans. The various clans were simply suffering unspeakably.
In Chu Lian's opinion, the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family would rebel against the rule of the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family sooner or later.
Right now, they were just lacking an opportunity.
This time, Chu Lian had bid farewell to his master and brought his junior sister out. The main reason was that Chu Lian felt that this was an opportunity for him.
A few days ago, he had finally completed a million refinements and successfully unlocked the sphere of light, making it recognize him as its master.
The sphere of light was called the Sphere of Grand Wishes. It came from an incomparably distant civilization of unknown dimensions. That civilization had used all of its power to capture the will of the ancient Heavenly Dao to refine it. Its power was boundless, and it was a supreme treasure that belonged to that civilization.
However, it was a pity that the creation of this supreme treasure did not allow that civilization to last forever.
When they tried to approach the Land of Truth, that dazzling and prosperous civilization collapsed and was buried in the long river of time.
The Sphere of Grand Wishes was also lost. It floated in the vast expanse in search of a suitable fated person.
Although Chu Lian was a member of the Ghost Axe Clan and not the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family, he had heard of the Land of Truth.
It was said that the Land of Truth was the source of all things in the world. The disasters that the various True Worlds had to go through originated from there.
In this vast world, the civilizations that had the right to approach the Land of Truth were all unimaginably powerful and prosperous.
The Spiritual Ruins World could be said to not even have the right to compare before these civilizations. It was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Possessing the supreme treasure left behind by this civilization gave Chu Lian a lot more confidence. He could use it to overthrow the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family's rule and successfully avenge his parents.
The Sphere of Grand Wishes had many functions that could help Chu Lian become stronger for now.
In his opinion, the most mysterious and profound function was the 'check-in' function.
As long as he followed the requirements of the Sphere of Grand Wishes and went to a certain place to check-in, then he would directly obtain cultivation, cultivation methods, secret techniques, artifacts, spirit pills, and other precious items.
This function could help him increase his cultivation base quickly.
This was also one of the reasons why Chu Lian bid farewell to his master and came to the outside world.
Apart from that, the Sphere of Aspirations had another function, which was to gather the power of providence.
From this power of providence, it could extract all kinds of origin matter and energy.
In Chu Lian's opinion, origin matter and origin energy were precious resources that were almost omnipotent.
As long as he had enough of these materials, he would be able to exchange them for many of the divine items in the Sphere of Great Wishes.
Those divine objects belonged to the civilization that created the Sphere of Noble Aspirations. They were inconceivably powerful and possessed all kinds of terrifying powers.
For example, the World's Vestigial Species, the Great Heavenly Heart Seal, the Good Fortune Mystic Banner, the Chaos Star Sand …
Apart from these functions, the Sphere of Noble Aspirations had many other functions that Chu Lian was looking forward to.
"Currently, I have only opened the first level of the Noble Sphere. There are still eight levels waiting for me to open. As long as I have the strength to open the third level, I will have the confidence to face the royal family of the Spiritual Ruins."
"I wonder what kind of strength I will have once I open the ninth floor."
Chu Lian was full of confidence.
In just two short days, the Sphere of Noble Aspirations allowed him to rise from an ordinary cultivator to the level of a great expert. He was comparable to those cultivators who had cultivated for thousands of years.
Of course, he was still a distance away from the peak of the Mortal Realm, not to mention the Immortal Realm behind him.
However, this gave Chu Lian hope that he had never seen before. He was brimming with confidence.
"Mingxiu, you don't have to be so worried. I will make you look at me differently sooner or later."
Chu Lian saw the worried expression on his Junior Sister's face and couldn't help but smile and comfort her.
"Senior Brother, don't talk to yourself. There is a carriage coming over on the official road ahead. Be careful not to let them hear what you said …"
Mingxiu rolled her eyes, feeling that this Senior Brother of hers was a little delirious.
It was good to go out and relax this time. Otherwise, if this continued, he would probably become a fool.
Chu Lian also noticed that there was a carriage speeding over on the official road ahead.
He didn't want to cause too much trouble and wanted to go to the next destination to sign in.
Hence, he pulled his Junior Sister and rode to the side early to avoid the carriage.
Judging from the exterior of the carriage and the handsome white horses pulling it with three heads, the rich and powerful people were either rich or powerful.
The people sitting in the hall were either rich or noble. There were many guards and maids following behind them on horseback.
Chu Lian and Mingxiu didn't want to get involved in any trouble because of what they said.
After all, although the Bitter Spiritual Ruins had been around for a long time, the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family had ruled this land for countless years and there were many races that supported them. It was inevitable that they would encounter some of them.
"Emperor …"
At this moment, a beautiful figure in the carriage had a gloomy expression. Her jade-like hands under her sleeves were clenched so tightly that they turned white.
She was wearing an elegant and noble long dress. Her hair was tied up in a bun without any makeup. Her face was like the autumn moon and her brows were like distant mountains.
The two maidservants in the carriage were already kneeling on the ground in fear. Their faces were pale and they couldn't stop trembling.
"Just call me Miss when we are outside."
"Don't expose my identity."
After a long while, the figure seemed to have calmed down slowly from her anger.
She indeed didn't expect to hear someone talking about the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family so soon after leaving the Spiritual Ruins Royal Palace.
All sorts of belittling and criticizing, as if they hated the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family to the core and couldn't wait to overthrow them.
This made her furious and she almost slapped the guy who talked about the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family to death.
But in the end, she held it in. She only left the palace to relax and didn't want to ask about the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family.
On the other hand, how could she not know about these things?
If not for the orders of the patriarchs, she wouldn't have been willing to let the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family rule the world.
But she couldn't do anything. As the Emperor of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family, even she had to listen to the orders of the patriarchs. She had no right to decide such things.
Instead, the one who was hated and hated by the various races was her.
"Yes … Yes, Miss."
The two maidservants had a lingering fear. When they heard the man outside talk about the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family, they knew that things were bad.
Even if such things were heard by others on a normal day, they would be beheaded.
Not to mention, that guy actually talked about it in front of the current Emperor of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family.
Wasn't this the same as the God of Longevity hanging himself?
Although they were only Emperor Ling's maidservants, their cultivation was also unfathomable. From such a distance, they could naturally hear what the man and woman were talking about.
If even they could hear it, there was no need to mention Emperor Ling.
"Miss, we'll go and deal with this audacious guy now."
The two maidservants calmed down and hurriedly asked to deal with Chu Lian and Ming Xiu.
Emperor Ling waved her hand and said indifferently, "No need. I'm not a narrow-minded person. What's the use even if I kill the two of them? How will the world change their opinion of me? "
At this point, a self-mocking look appeared on her face.
When they heard that, the two maidservants' faces turned pale and they didn't dare to continue.
Such a matter that involved the secrets of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family wasn't something they could interfere with.
The carriage sped on the official road, stirring up a cloud of dust.
However, when they passed by Chu Lian and Ming Xiu, Emperor Ling still took a look.
"Hmm?"
It was this glance that caused her to frown. Then, after thinking for a moment, she ordered the people to stop.
"Yes, miss."
Although the two maidservants were confused, they still did as they were told.
Chu Lian and Ming Xiu were still waiting for the carriage to pass so that they could continue on their journey. However, they didn't expect it to suddenly stop in front of them.
The attendants behind the carriage also stopped abruptly and looked at the two of them expressionlessly as a chilling aura spread.
This caused Chu Lian and Ming Xiu to be stunned. Then, their expressions turned cautious.
"Senior brother, did they hear what we said just now?"
Ming Xiu was worried and could not help but ask softly.
Although Chu Lian was also worried, he was more confident when he thought of the strength he had raised in the past few days and maintained a calm expression.
Emperor Ling frowned as she sat in the carriage with a puzzled expression. Her fingers under her sleeves were forming some sort of hand seal, as if she was calculating something.
"Tell them to come see me."
However, this calculation didn't allow her to calculate anything. Instead, the puzzled expression on her face grew.
She could only instruct the maidservants to bring the two of them here.
Considering her cultivation base, how was it possible that she couldn't even divine the fate of a Worldly realm being?
Although she had only casually glanced at Chu Lian earlier, the Emperor Ling was shocked to discover that there was a chaotic mist behind him as if he was shrouded in fog.
That piqued her interest and she ordered the maidservants to stop the carriage.
However, after careful calculation, she discovered that this person's fate was rather mysterious and seemed to be shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
If it wasn't a precious treasure on him, then it was a strange fate.
However, if this person had a precious treasure on him, it was impossible for her to not notice it with her strength.
One had to know that apart from the patriarch of the Mystical Ruins, she was the strongest person in the world now.
Nothing could be hidden from her.
"Our miss wants to see you."
Outside the carriage, Chu Lian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the two maidservants walking over. He couldn't see through their cultivation.
This could only mean that their strength was far above his.
However, the words of the two maidservants shocked him even more.
"May I know who the miss you two are talking about is?"
Chu Lian immediately braced himself and asked. If there was a conflict later, he might not be able to protect himself and his junior sister.
At that time, he would have to use the secret treasure left behind by his master.
"Our miss is in the carriage. Just follow us."
The two maidservants only glanced at Chu Lian indifferently, not taking him seriously.
They didn't know why the Emperor Ling wanted to see this young man, so they just followed her instructions.
"Such a fate might be the variable mentioned in the ancient books. It transcends the limits of natural endowments and isn't affected by natural endowments. His future achievements are limitless."
In the carriage, the Emperor Ling's expression was uncertain as she guessed a possibility.
She also guessed so, but she didn't dare to be certain, because such a variable had never appeared in the history of the True Spiritual Ruins World.
These were only the people recorded in the ancient books that appeared in the other True Worlds.
At the Emperor Ling's current level, her strength could be said to have reached a certain peak, and it was impossible for her to advance any further.
Unless she obtained some kind of heaven-defying opportunity and changed her fate.
And in her eyes, the other cultivators and living beings no longer had any secrets.
The past, the future, and the present were like pages in a book that she could flip through at will.
In the world ruled by the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family, she could see which living being had endless potential, what their natural endowments were, whether they could soar to the heavens, and how far they could go in the future.
That was why the Emperor Ling was so surprised when she saw Chu Lian.
This was the first person she met that she couldn't see through besides those at the same level as her. She couldn't see through their present, past, or future.
As for the girl beside Chu Lian, she could easily see through all her secrets.
However, when it came to Chu Lian, it was a blur.
"If this person is a variable, or even an anomaly, then he will definitely become an incredible person in the future. He might really overthrow the Spiritual Ruins Imperial Family's rule and change the world …
"This kind of person must be used by me. If he can't be used by me, then I must think of a way to destroy him. I can't let him grow, or else he will definitely become a huge problem."
The Emperor Ling's eyes sparkled, and she made up her mind.
A variable that had yet to grow was just like an ant. It was naturally impossible for him to be a threat to her.
However, she couldn't underestimate a variable. Who knew what kind of fortuitous encounter this variable would encounter, or whether he would possess power that could threaten her …
"Young miss, we brought him here …"
While the Emperor Ling was thinking about many things, the voices of the two maids came from outside the carriage, interrupting her thoughts.
"Invite this young master in."
The Emperor Ling gathered her thoughts and sat inside with a dignified and elegant smile on her face, looking like a lady from a noble family.
