Chapter 549 Preparing for the Exam
True Lord Ling Xiao shook his head and took a few steps back: "I cannot believe your words, Bai Lan, when you faced Su Yu just now, your evil cultivation style did not seem to be fake..."
"......" Bai Lan sighed, it was indeed not acting.
"See, Ling Xiao is not a fool." Seeing this, Old Fu couldn't help but laugh: "Collect your soul, stop pretending."
Seeing this, True Lord Lingxiao frowned and said, "Bai Lan, you are extremely talented, and you travel around all day, so it's inevitable that you will be led astray... Listen to my uncle's advice and turn back."
"Alas, I wanted to be uncle and nephew of the righteous path with my uncle for a few more days, but now it seems..." Bai Lan sighed slightly, raised his hand and summoned three Nascent Soul cultivators, suddenly surrounding True Lord Lingxiao in the middle.
"Uncle Lingxiao, hand over a wisp of your soul, otherwise... you will either consume this blood-colored insect, or be cast under my forbidden spell. Choose one of three."
There are three roads, all leading to the road controlled by Bai Lan.
If it were someone else, there would definitely be a fourth path of death, but Ling Xiao had taught her, so Bai Lan would not kill him.
Not only that, Bai Lan had also already prepared a great gift for her old acquaintances in Qingyuan Sect.
For example, Bai Lan had personally prepared a book of heavenly whip skills for Zi Ling Zhenren, who had been her temporary master for a few days and was good at using a long whip.
As for Master Qin, who is good at refining elixirs, Bai Lan plans to let him inherit Xuan Shazi's mantle and join Danfeng to continue his studies.
Even Senior Brother Ji Feng, the cannon fodder genius in Long Aotian's script, will enjoy training resources comparable to those of the head disciple after joining the Yuling Sect.
And the head disciple Nan Xianzhi, if she is willing, she can become the next master of Qingyuan Peak.
Everything was arranged clearly. Of course, the premise of all this was that they had to join the Yuling Sect and hand over their souls to Bai Lan.
"Bai Lan, you have really become different from before." True Lord Ling Xiao closed his eyes.
"No, no, no, Uncle Master, I have always been myself and have never changed."
"You were not like this before. I always thought that you were..." Ling Xiao Zhenjun took a deep breath. It was indeed his problem to mistakenly take Bai Lan as a righteous disciple who was upright, law-abiding and polite.
Not being able to threaten with one's life did slow down the efficiency of collecting souls, but Bai Lan was in a hurry to go to the dungeon in the Youxu Secret Realm and didn't want to waste time.
Seeing that Master Ling Xiao remained silent for a long time, Bai Lan decided to do the next best thing and directly ordered Fu Lao to cast a forbidden spell on Ling Xiao to ensure that she still had the ability to kill Ling Xiao instantly.
Master Lingxiao suddenly felt a pain in his soul. He glanced at Bai Lan and closed his eyes in pain again.
"..." This little devil didn't even give him time to think painfully.
True Lord Lingxiao originally wanted to struggle a bit to see if he could get rid of the forbidden spell that his "good nephew" had cast on him and gain his freedom.
But when he realized the powerful imprint of consciousness in his sea of consciousness that was comparable to that of a god, True Lord Lingxiao's face turned dark and he immediately lost all hope.
The Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation nearly cost him his life, and the Divine Transformation Realm was an impossible realm for him to reach in this lifetime. He was afraid that this Divine Forbidden Spell would be difficult to decipher.
This curse has been deeply embedded in his sea of consciousness like a tree root. True Lord Lingxiao is convinced that the other party can take his life in just a moment.
Patting Master Lingxiao on the shoulder, Bai Lan summoned the Green Dragon and stepped on it, saying with a smile, "Let's go, Uncle Lingxiao. This secret realm is specially prepared for you. You can't not go."
"Prepare for me?" Ling Xiao smiled bitterly. At this moment, he could only follow suit: "I don't have a physique that's one in a million. Even if they want to choose a Nascent Soul cultivator to sacrifice and refine, it doesn't necessarily have to be me."
"Hiss, how could Master-Uncle Lingxiao think I was so terrifying?" Bai Lan sat cross-legged on the green dragon, shook his head and sighed, "The secret realm you and I are going to is called the Youxu Secret Realm. Ten thousand years ago, it was the place where a Divine Transformation cultivator fell."
Unlike the Jiuyin Secret Realm, which was deliberately set up with a forbidden barrier by Jiuge Zhenjun and the entrance was opened regularly to invite low-level disciples to come in to weed and kill monsters, the Youxu Secret Realm was truly established for the purpose of inheriting the heritage.
Youxuzi, the master of the Youxu Secret Realm, is not dead yet. After his death, his residual soul turned into an artifact spirit and merged into the Youxu Secret Realm. In the Youxu Secret Realm he created, Youxuzi is like a god.
In order to find the right person to inherit his mantle, he also set up multiple levels, more than half of which were tests for swordsmanship.
Bai Lan can use a sword, but is not proficient in it. He can also kill people with the sword. True Lord Ling Xiao must have won by his swordsmanship, while she won by strength.
Therefore, she would most likely fail this test. It is possible for her to force her way through, but it would be time-consuming and laborious. It would be better to find someone to take the test for her.
Bai Ling and Long Aotian each got a chance to become a god in the boundless sea. One of them was the ninth-level fox clan ancestor in Bai Ling's harem, while Long Aotian's chance to become a god was Youxuzi.
A boy who was only in the late Jindan stage surpassed a group of Yuanying masters and won the favor and entire inheritance of Youxuzi, including the entire Youxu Secret Realm.
If she could pass the test and obtain the entire Youxu Secret Realm, all Nascent Soul cultivators who entered this secret realm three months later would fall into her hands and would not be able to escape the fate of having their souls taken away.
"Uncle Lingxiao has achieved great accomplishments in the art of swordsmanship, but his theoretical knowledge is still somewhat insufficient. Before entering the secret realm, you should quickly read these jade slips to make up for it." Bai Lan suddenly threw a storage bag of jade slips to Master Lingxiao.
Ling Xiao Zhenjun, who was extremely sad that he was about to be killed by Bai Lan, took the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and was immediately shocked.
"Heavenly-grade sword techniques! Heavenly-grade magical powers! The sword insights of a Divine Transformation cultivator!?" True Lord Ling Xiao's eyes widened. "And there are hundreds of volumes on earthly-grade magical powers, all of which are related to the sword!"
What is this, a last meal before death?
"Where did you get these jade slips? Wait, why do some of them contain my insights into the way of the sword..." Ling Xiao Zhenren suddenly saw a familiar name among a pile of jade slips.
"Oh, it's in the Qingyuan Sect's library."
The insight was good, so she memorized it and recorded it.
