"This vast land was originally the homeland of my Ghost Ax Clan. However, it is now barren. There are only desolate mountains and mountains everywhere. There is no sign of human habitation. In the vast Spiritual Void World, there are only a few Ghost Ax Clan members."
"I will definitely make the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family pay for this blood debt in blood."
Chu Lian, dressed in martial arts attire, was leading a sturdy horse in front of a group of tall mountains and steep ridges.
His Junior Sister, Mingxiu, sat on the horse and was also looking at the barren hills shrouded in clouds.
Vaguely, one could see the silhouettes of some pavilions and palaces.
The closer they got, the more they realized that those pavilions and palaces were actually very dilapidated and barren.
Many places had already turned into ruins and no one knew when they had been destroyed.
Vines drooped and moss grew. Miasma filled the air.
"Ghost Axe Clan? Could Young Master Chu Lian be a member of the Ghost Axe Clan? "
"I heard that the Ghost Axe Clan has always been terrifyingly talented in forging weapons. All the divine weapons and Dao weapons here were forged by the Ghost Axe Clan."
Behind Chu Lian and Mingxiu were the Ghost Emperor.
The Spirit Emperor, who was also riding a snow-white steed with a veil covering his face, couldn't help but ask with a surprised expression on his face.
There were many maids and guards beside her. They were powerful and made her look like a young miss of a large family who was out training.
She had indeed left the palace this time to go straight to Chu Lian and find out the secrets on him.
However, in order to not arouse Chu Lian's suspicion, the Ghost Emperor thought of an excuse of an accidental meeting. They had met on the way and the place they were heading to was in the same direction.
Of course, Chu Lian didn't know that the Spirit Emperor had sent people to watch his every move.
He did not pay much attention to the Ghost Emperor's wording. In his opinion, the Ghost Emperor's cultivation was only at the Mortal Realm and her subordinates were not that strong.
Now that he was about to touch the threshold of the Immortal Dao, he was not worried about the Ghost Emperor's schemes.
He was in a rather joyful mood. He was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected meeting of a beauty and also the joy of improving his cultivation.
The reason he had come to the old haunt of the Ghost Hatchet Clan this time was to use the Noble Orb to absorb and condense the remnant karmic luck of this place.
According to the function of the Sphere of Great Wishes, it could capture the illusory Qi of Heaven and Earth and condense the best energy for Chu Lian's cultivation.
It would allow him to achieve very high achievements in the shortest amount of time.
However, the process of absorbing Luck was not safe. One had to be vigilant at all times and could not relax.
Some powerful orthodoxies and clans had Dharma Artifacts or Legacy Weapons that were specially used to suppress fate. Once they realized that someone had stolen their fate, they would be enraged and would send people to investigate and kill them.
Although Chu Lian's strength had increased rapidly, he knew his limits. He knew that he was definitely not a match for those large clans.
Once he was captured, the secret of the Noble Sphere might not be able to be kept.
The Sphere of Noble Aspirations was mysterious and mysterious. It was the final crystallization of an incomparably ancient and powerful civilization.
However, in Chu Lian's opinion, they did not have any means to help him fight his enemies. At most, they could only be considered as auxiliary tools.
Therefore, he had to be careful and not expose the existence of the Noble Orb.
In the end, after much thought, he found a suitable location, which was the Ghost Hatchet Clan's former clan land.
At the same time, it was also the homeland where he lived when he was very young.
Originally, this was a flourishing sacred land. Palaces and pavilions were everywhere, immortal mountains were majestic, and ancient peaks were tall. There were also many small worlds and dimensions.
However, following the conscription of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family, a large number of Ghost Hatchet Clan members were forcefully taken away and lost the power to protect this place.
And this place gradually became barren. Later on, it was plundered by the other clans and factions and gradually turned into a wasteland.
However, as long as the Ghost Hatchet Clan was not extinct from this world, then the clan land would still nurture vitality and Luck.
Chu Lian had rushed over this time because he wanted to use the remnant Luck of the Ghost Hatchet Clan here to help him cultivate.
He walked at the front and nodded. "To be honest, Miss Huang, I am indeed a member of the Ghost Hatchet Clan. My parents were summoned by the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family and brought into the palace. They said that they were going to repair the ancient array, but in the end, they disappeared without a trace. I suspect that they have already been killed by the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family and have gone to the netherworld. "
"So many years have passed and there has been no news about them, so I don't hold any hope."
When he spoke of this, he could not help but show great pain and hatred on his face.
He might have been young when this happened, but the memory was still fresh in his mind and he would not forget it.
Ming Xiu's eyes dimmed as she sat on the horse. She also remembered what happened to her parents.
The Sovereign Ling frowned slightly under her veil. Her expression was slightly unnatural, but she soon recovered.
Of course she knew about this. Not only did she know, she had also personally given the order.
However, the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family's summoning of the Ghost Hatchet Clan and the Heavenly Craftsmen Clan to repair the ancient array was actually the decision of the Progenitors. It was not something she could decide.
The Sovereign Ling could not bear to see this happen and suggested to the Progenitors to change to a better method.
However, no one bothered with her and only asked her to do as she was told.
She could not do anything about it. She still had to bear the crime of being a scapegoat and be cursed by all living beings.
After all, the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family was about to reach the place where the new True World was, which was the current True Mountain and Sea World. They had to prepare the Grand Welcoming Rune beforehand and start the Grand Ritual.
The Ghost Hatchet Clan and the Heavenly Craftsmen Clan had great talent in Rune Casting, so they were the most suitable to build and maintain the Rune.
Besides, the Grand Ritual required the sacrifice of hundreds of millions of lives. With their life essence as a guide, the coordinates of the Spiritual Ruins True World would be brought here.
Once this matter spread out, it would definitely have a great impact on the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family's rule.
That was why the Progenitors of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family would not allow the Ghost Hatchet Clan and the Heavenly Craftsmen Clan to leave. They would leak the news and cause unnecessary chaos and panic.
"During this period of time, the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family is still summoning the Ghost Hatchet Clan and the Heavenly Craftsmen Clan to build the ancient array. It's a pity that I don't have enough power right now, or else I would definitely lead all the races to revolt and overthrow the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family so that we can return peace to this world."
Chu Lian led his horse and walked at the front.
When he spoke, his eyes were bright and filled with determination. His words were firm and there was an unconcealable righteousness in them.
If there was anyone else around at this moment, they would definitely look at him with admiration, thinking that he was proud and determined and would definitely become someone great in the future.
The Spirit Emperor cast him a glance. She did not know what gave Chu Lian the confidence to speak like that.
After all, even she, the Spirit Emperor, did not know how many Dao Realm Progenitors there were in the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family.
She did not know how strong each Dao Realm Progenitor was.
The Ghost Hatchet Clan and the Heavenly Craftsmen Clan might have been huge clans in the Spiritual Ruins True World in the past and had a deep foundation, giving birth to Dao Realm existences before.
However, things were different now. Their kismet was weak and their powerful experts had retired. Only a few people were left, so who would dare to go against the orders of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family?
But then again, as a variable, Chu Lian did indeed have the possibility to do so.
However, if he was too strong, he would break easily. With his current strength, if others heard what he said, it would be easy for him to bring disaster to himself.
Dao Realm existences had reached a stage where their cultivation base could reach the heavens and earth. They could sense any abnormalities beforehand and nip the disaster in the bud.
The Spirit Emperor was dissatisfied with the Progenitors of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family and had resentment towards them.
However, she was the Spirit Emperor of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family. What she considered was the interests of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family.
She admired Chu Lian's boldness and guts. In fact, she was even considering whether she should be generous and spare his life after learning about his variable secret.
"The actions of the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family are indeed not tolerated by the heavens. They have already angered the heavens and they will suffer retribution sooner or later. Young Master Chu Lian, you don't have to worry too much. Who knows, your parents might just be trapped somewhere right now and their lives might not be in danger? "The Spirit Emperor spoke with a much gentler tone.
During this period of time, the Ghost Hatchet Clan and Heavenly Craftsmen Clan recruited by the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family were not in danger as long as they were obedient.
Right now, they were actually imprisoned somewhere. After all, they were required to maintain and repair the formation as well as the grand ritual when the time came.
Although Gu Changge's arrival had stopped the Spiritual Ruins Royal Family's plan to descend into the True Mountain and Sea World.
However, the grand plan to receive the True Spirit Ruins World had never stopped.
When Chu Lian heard this, he thought that the Spirit Emperor was comforting him. He shook his head and said, "Miss Huang, you don't have to comfort me. I have already accepted reality. Master is an old friend of my parents. He has long since received news of their deaths."
The Spirit Emperor was slightly surprised. Among the people she sent out, no one had found out that Chu Lian had a Master.
She could not help but be more cautious.
Soon, they went over the mountain in front of them and Chu Lian finally approached the homeland of the Ghost Hatchet Clan. His emotions were complicated as he stood on the mountain and looked at the dilapidated buildings in front of him. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.
The once prosperous scene had long since disappeared. Right now, only broken walls, vines, moss, and broken halls were left, along with burnt beams and pillars were left.
"Senior brother, is this where you lived when you were young?" Mingxiu could not help but ask as she sat on the horse. She looked at the ruins curiously.
She did not know why her senior brother would come here on the way. Could it be that he wanted to pay homage to his childhood?
The Spirit Emperor was also slightly surprised, but she did not say anything. She stared at Chu Lian's back, wanting to know what he was planning to do.
She was worried that if she attacked Chu Lian, she would trigger a calamity in her fate and suffer an inexplicable backlash from her kismet.
Chu Lian was not stupid either. He would not tell her his intentions directly.
The Noble Ball was his greatest secret and guarantee for his rise to power. How could he easily tell others about it, even if that person was his junior sister?
Even though Chu Lian and the Spirit Emperor conversed happily during their few encounters and felt as if he had met a confidant, the Spirit Emperor's background was unknown.
While Chu Lian had a good impression of her, it was not to the point where he trusted her completely.
He was still considering how their relationship would progress in the future.
"Before I left my homeland, I accidentally left behind a very important thing that my parents left for me here. After so many years, I don't know if it's still here. This time, I came here on the way because I wanted to look for it again and see if I can find that thing."
"It means a lot to me."
Then, Chu Lian looked a little regretful as he explained.
"I see. Shall I help you look for it? Tell me, what kind of thing is that? "
Mingxiu did not doubt Chu Lian's words. Instead, she wanted to help him.
Chu Lian shook his head. "There are too many poisonous miasma insects here. Junior sister, you should stay here obediently. This will save me a lot of trouble."
Mingxiu's face turned pale at the mention of poisonous miasma insects. She was clearly afraid.
The Spirit Emperor did not believe Chu Lian's words. However, as long as she was here, she would naturally be able to see Chu Lian's intentions. Hence, she was not in a hurry.
"Why don't I send some people to help Young Master Chu Lian look for it? This place is indeed a little big. I don't know how long it will take for you to find it alone. "However, she still said this.
Chu Lian waved his hand and said, "Miss Huang, there's no need for you to help me. As long as I can sense the existence of that thing, it will be useless even if you send people to help me."
Providence was an illusory thing. Unless one specialized in cultivating Providence or had extremely terrifying strength, one would not be able to sense the existence of providence.
The reason why Chu Lian could sense the existence of providence was because of the Ball of Great Wishes.
Hearing this, the Spirit Emperor did not say anything else. She waved her hand and signaled for the maids and subordinates to stop.
Very soon, Chu Lian turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the ruins ahead.
Mingxiu and the others were waiting for him at the mountain top.
The Spirit Emperor returned to the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. She also sensed Chu Lian's movements.
However, what surprised her was that after Chu Lian disappeared from her sight, his aura also disappeared into thin air. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air.
"It seems that he does have a treasure on him that can conceal him from the heavens. Even his aura is difficult for me to figure out. It's really amazing …" The Spirit Emperor's eyes revealed a strange look.
Just as she was thinking about how to make a move to be absolutely safe …
A series of messages suddenly reached her ears from a faraway place.
"What …"
"My lord has left the palace and is coming to find me personally …"
The Spirit Emperor's originally calm expression changed greatly. She became very uneasy and incredulous. She did not dare to believe her ears.
