Chapter 625: 229. Taboo Ancient Talisman, Reaching Sword Palace (5.3K Words - Seeking Subscription)_3 "Thank you, Senior Sister." Song Yan bowed again, then turned to leave. ... ... Cultivation Cabin. Song Yan pointed at the bowl of "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup" and said, "Take it; it’s for cleansing the Heart Demon." Hua Linglong stared at the thick porridge surface, said "Thank you," then took a deep breath, stepped forward, and quickly drank the soup down, immediately sitting cross-legged. She had understood one thing these days: she must purify herself to truly join the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace. This bowl of soup, although terrified, she had no choice but to drink. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she began to frown, seemingly enduring painfully. A while later, her eyes shot open, the pitiable little woman demeanor vanished instantly, with her eyes turning bloodthirsty and sinister, carrying the arrogance unique to a predator, accompanied by a bell-like laughter. "Don’t struggle; obediently become my slave." "Die! Die! All of you, die, hahaha!" "The lives of the whole clan should be proud to contribute to refining this treasure for me." "Resist?" "Originally, I felt a bit guilty, but now... it’s meaningless!" "Dead, hehehe, guilt? I tricked you, fool." "Righteousness means the constraints of rules, which can only bring weakness. I abandoned this long ago." For a long, long time... Hua Linglong’s eyes returned to clarity, her gaze grew deeper, the initial trace of brilliance entirely disappeared, turning into pure icy darkness. She suddenly recalled something, her eyes furrowing, tears flowing down, then she clenched her fists and said, "I am guilty, what have I done? I..." As she spoke, she stopped, looked up at Song Yan not far away. A sigh already echoed in her mind. "Forget it, I’ll think of more ways later." ... ... Control Layer. Reacher glanced at Ning Yunmiao. The latter was closing his eyes in annoyance, as if he had seen something extremely filthy. Reacher smiled. Ning Yunmiao said, "Pretending, beyond redemption!" Reacher said, "Birds of a feather flock together..." Ning Yunmiao frowned, "Do you have a grudge against Song Yan?" Reacher retorted, "Do you have any cause and effect with him?" Ning Yunmiao said, "My grandpa released so many Ascension Orders outside, but after so many years, not a single one has truly reached the Vast Sea Domain. Do you say he and I have any cause and effect?" Reacher said solemnly, "Precisely because of this, this child is not simple. He is definitely not as he appears, at least Hua Linglong has already lost to him. As for Di Cunxin..." He paused slightly and said, "He’s quite a ruthless character." These days, the two of them had watched both Hua Linglong and Di Cunxin’s performances simultaneously. Hua Linglong took the "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup," resulting in her true ugly nature being exposed, the pure evil nature at the last moment was seen clearly by Reacher and Ning Yunmiao. Heart Demon, Heart Demon, evil is a Heart Demon, good... can also be a Heart Demon. Hua Linglong belonged to those who forsook goodness, thus more steadfastly stepping onto the path of the Evil Cultivator. And Di Cunxin, rather die than drink the "Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup," instead took the "Inferior Soul Purifying Nirvana Pill" and "Source Origin Pill" he previously traded from the Star Raft market, enduring intense pain, he forcibly eradicated the past evil from himself, and thus managed to meet the entry-level standards of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace. ... ... Three years later... Myriad Swords Star Realm... Vast Sea Domain. The Six Cranes Void Ship slowly descended. The Vast Sea, as a desert it is. Earlier, when Song Yan heard the mysterious old man mention the "Vast Sea Celestial Strange Sword Palace," he merely thought it was a more powerful Cultivation Profound Land, situated in a vast desert, with even more dangerous Demon Beasts within. But now, he realized how utterly wrong he was. Not only him, Hua Linglong also displayed astonishment like a bumpkin entering the city, widening her beautiful eyes overlooking the unbelievable scene beneath her. The Vast Sea is indeed a desert, but in this place, not all sand is sand, with quite a portion being Secret Realms. This desert even contains mountains, but those mountains are no ordinary mountains, but... heavens and earth. Each grain of sand, a Secret Realm, each mountain, a world! As far as the eye can see, endless expanse. The Secret Realms and worlds among them are countless in number. Just like the initial exploration of an unfathomable universe by humanity under the geocentric theory, seeing the countless stars like sands of the Ganges, originally thinking the land beneath their feet was everything, only to discover it was but an infinitesimal grain of sand. In that moment, just like this moment. At this moment, Song Yan was overwhelmed with shock. Ning Yunmiao glanced at him and said, "Junior Brother’s Lifebound Secret Realm can exist within the Sect, rather than being exposed like these wild Secret Realms outside. Within the Sect, Profound Qi is abundant, resources are ample, Secret Realms can connect with each other, and through the Teleportation Array, one can travel to other realms. There are countless Mortal Worlds and numerous small Sects within these realms, forming an exceptionally vast world. Those with whom Junior Brother has cause and effect need only cultivate steadily, and in the future, they will also have the chance to step out of their Secret Realm." Song Yan turned his head, unable to hide his shock, and looked at Ning Yunmiao, saying, "Senior Sister, why? Why... did Old Ning give me the Ascension Order?" Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "Do you think you are unique?" Song Yan shook his head, "How could that be possible." Ning Yunmiao’s smile faded, and word by word she said, "You are wrong, you are indeed unique." These sudden and blunt words exploded like a thunderbolt beside Song Yan! His heart skipped a beat, hairs standing on end, limbs turning cold, almost drawing his sword and leaping up for a desperate struggle. Knowing people’s faces but not their hearts, hidden thunder at silent places. He had long prepared to self-destruct at any time, ready to perish together with others. However, before he could draw his sword, Ning Yunmiao laughed again, "Grandpa loved to roam the stars all his life, visiting friends far and wide. Whenever he felt fated with someone along the way, he would distribute Ascension Orders regardless of Realm. Those places are far from the Myriad Swords Star Realm, mostly barren... and after all these years, not a single person managed to come here. Do you still think you’re not unique?" Song Yan’s hand, which was about to draw his sword, stiffened in mid-air, then he patted his chest naturally and said, "To be evaluated by Senior Sister like this, truly it’s exciting." Ning Yunmiao smiled and said, "Junior Brother, the female cultivator you protected doesn’t meet our Sect’s requirements, you can either bring her into a Secret Realm for focused cultivation, as long as she abides by the Sect’s laws and doesn’t act recklessly, or... I can offer her some resources and let her seek opportunities on her own across the Vast Sea." Song Yan said, "I will talk with her." Click! The Six Cranes Ancient Ship landed on a spacious stone platform. Ning Yunmiao said, "I’ll wait for you for the time it takes an incense stick to burn."
