Chapter 367 Heavenly Demon Marten
When Xiao Ling saw the item he had drawn, his heart was shocked and his breathing paused for a moment. How could Xiao Ling not know the weight of the ancestral stone? This was the key treasure that helped Dongzi from the neighboring Tianxuan Continent rise in the early stage, and now it unexpectedly fell into his hands.
His heart was in turmoil, but Xiao Ling also knew that since the ancestral stone was in his hands, if it didn't go as expected, Lin Dong's future growth path would inevitably deviate from the original trajectory, and he might not be able to become a martial ancestor.
"Well, it seems that when I break through the Dou Di one day, I have to go to the Tianxuan Continent." Xiao Ling thought to himself, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
After all, the creatures of the Tianxuan Continent are also lives. Although Xiao Ling is not a saint, if his actions trigger a chain reaction, then he must bear the responsibility. He can't sit back and watch countless creatures suffer from the invasion of the alien demons because of his influence.
Besides, Xiao Ling had intended to explore the Tianxuan Continent. The plane fetus in that place was priceless. If he could get it, it would be of great help to him in his future impact on the realm of the Supreme Heaven.
Now, he has the ancestral stone that is closely connected to the Tianxuan Continent. When his strength is strong enough, he can use the ancestral stone to determine the location of the Tianxuan Continent. On that day, he will find a way to go to the Tianxuan Continent and implement his plan.
In fact, there is no need to be too anxious. If you look at the timeline, the plot of the Tianxuan Continent will not start for a long time. Lin Dong may not be born yet. Even if he is born, he is just a little guy who knows nothing. Therefore, Xiao Ling has plenty of time to prepare everything.
As for whether he can become a Doudi in the future, Xiao Ling does not need to think about this matter. He has the advantage of foresight. Now he has a strong force behind him and has a plug-in. If he still cannot become a Doudi, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and die.
If he doesn't even have confidence in himself, then wouldn't Xiao Ling's training over the years be in vain? He is determined to get the position of Doudi.
Xiao Ling shook his head gently, and shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind. It's not too late to talk about these things later. It's too early to think about them now.
With a change of mind, he took out the ancestral stone he had just drawn from the system warehouse.
Xiao Ling's palm flashed, and after a white light, an item was quietly lying in his palm.
"Is this the ancestral stone ranked second on the ancient divine object list on Tianxuan Continent? In this state now, it looks really ordinary."
Xiao Ling talked to himself while playing with this small stone curiously.
This stone is only the size of two fingers, and the color is light gray. But when he pinched it with his fingers, there was a wonderful softness. This touch is not like stone, nor like jade, and even less like wood. It is like stone and not like, like jade and not like, like wood and not like.
It is like stone but not stone, like jade but not jade, like wood but not wood.
Xiao Ling's eyes became more focused. On the thumb-sized stone, he could vaguely see some fuzzy lines, like a mysterious rune.
These runes were all over the stone, making it look more like some kind of mysterious stone spell.
"These runes should be the tools used by the rune masters to perform their methods. If I can master this skill, it will definitely help improve my strength." Xiao Ling's eyes fell on those complex and difficult runes, and some ideas came to his mind.
In the Douqi Continent, those cultivators with strong soul power and matching Douqi attributes have the opportunity to become respected alchemists.
But if they lack the qualifications to become alchemists, then the strong soul power will only make their perception more acute.
Some of the powerful characters can even use soul power to launch attacks, but that's basically it.
However, unlike the Douqi Continent, on the Tianxuan Continent, people with strong mental power have the opportunity to become mysterious rune masters.
They fight with their mental power, and the degree of development of mental power is even more unfathomable, and they can even refine powerful weapons.
The higher the quality of the refined weapons, the stronger their spirituality. When the quality of these weapons is improved to a certain level, it is even more likely to breed magical weapon spirits.
In other words, if two practitioners have equal soul power, one chooses to be a talisman master, and the other only knows how to use soul power, then the one who did not become a talisman master will basically be defeated in one move. After all, the means of a talisman master are much more sophisticated than fighting with soul power alone.
Take Xiao Ling for example, he is now a Dou Zun star, and his soul has reached the spiritual realm of perfection. It should not be difficult for him to deal with ordinary four or five-star Dou Zun.
But if Xiao Ling can become a talisman master, based on his current spiritual realm of perfection soul, he estimates that once he becomes a talisman master, his combat power will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
Although he is not quite sure what realm he can reach as a talisman master, at least he should be able to easily deal with practitioners like nine-star Dou Zun.
Xiao Ling knew that these speculations about the talisman master and the ancestral stone were just the tip of the iceberg. To truly understand them in depth, he still needed the guidance of an expert.
In Xiao Ling's opinion, the ancestral stone's spirit "Yan" was the ideal mentor who could lead him to become a talisman master.
After all, the first owner of the ancestor stone was the legendary talisman ancestor who invented the talisman master's cultivation method, and the spirit "Yan" beside him had one of the best understandings of the talisman master's skills in the entire Tianxuan Continent. For Xiao Ling, who wanted to become a talisman master, it was perfect to have the guidance of "Yan".
Unfortunately, the ancestor stone is now seriously injured, and its spirit "Yan" has fallen into a deep sleep. Even if Xiao Ling wanted to communicate with "Yan" or even ask for advice on the way of talisman master, it would be impossible to achieve it.
Xiao Ling thought in his heart, vaguely remembering that in the story, the ancestor stone used the primordial qi used by the Lord of the Primordial Desolation to heal his wounds to repair itself.
If the Lord of the Primordial Desolation placed his power on the Douqi Continent, he would undoubtedly be the strongest person at the peak of Dousheng. The primordial qi he used was naturally extraordinary, and it must contain extraordinary repair power.
Xiao Ling actually had quite a few healing pills in his hand. When he left Xingyun Pavilion, Yao Chen had stuffed him with several eighth-grade healing pills in case of emergency.
The efficacy of these pills is definitely not inferior to the seventh-level primitive energy in the Primordial Tower. Perhaps, they can also have some healing effects on the spirit of the ancestral stone, helping it to wake up from its slumber.
Once Xiao Ling had a plan in mind, he immediately started to implement it. He flipped his wrist lightly, and a light blue pill slipped out of the ring, holding it between his fingers, shining brightly.
This pill is called Huiyuan Huanshen Pill, and its grade belongs to the eighth-grade five-color pill. It is of relatively poor quality among the pills that Yao Chen stuffed into Xiao Ling, but its medicinal effect is quite extraordinary.
Once taken, this pill can help recover from injuries in a very short time and replenish soul power. For Dou Zun-level strongmen, this is undoubtedly an excellent holy medicine for them to save their lives and heal their wounds.
Xiao Ling stared at the Huiyuan Huanshen Pill in his hand and muttered to himself, "I hope you can play a role."
Immediately, Xiao Ling gently squeezed his palm, and the Huiyuan Huanshen Pill turned into a ball of light blue pill essence in his palm. These essences trembled slightly in the air, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, as if containing infinite vitality.
Xiao Ling's movements did not pause at all. He gently clapped his other hand and accurately sent the pill essence into the ancestral stone.
The moment the ancestral stone came into contact with the pill essence, a layer of delicate white light appeared on the surface, and the light blue light seemed to be absorbed by the stone and penetrated into it bit by bit.
After a while, the ancestral stone seemed to feel the benefits of the light blue light to it, just like a guy who had been hungry for a long time suddenly encountered delicious food and began to absorb it crazily.
The suction it exuded suddenly increased, and it almost couldn't wait to swallow the pill essence in one go.
This ancestral stone absorbs the medicinal power, and the movement is really big. If Xiao Ling hadn't been strong enough, he would have been thrown into a panic.
He held the ancestral stone tightly, feeling like he was holding an inflating balloon, which was getting stronger and stronger, and almost flew out of his hand.
After about a quarter of an hour, all the medicinal power of the elixir was absorbed by the ancestral stone, but there was no big reaction.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frown, and kept muttering in his heart.
This ancestral stone had obviously absorbed the medicinal power of the elixir, why was there still no movement? This was completely different from the reaction he expected. Xiao Ling couldn't figure out what was going on, but he was too lazy to think about it anymore, so he just used his soul power to find out.
Immediately, Xiao Ling closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, released a soul power from between his eyebrows, and slowly penetrated into the ancestral stone in his palm.
The released soul power was like a tiny electric current, flickering in the air, and probed into the depths of the ancestral stone bit by bit, trying to find out the mystery.
As the soul force was injected, the surface of the ancestral stone began to glow slightly, and Xiao Ling could feel a subtle wave coming from the inside of the stone.
Immediately, Xiao Ling felt a slight dizziness, but the discomfort was fleeting. Then, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a black hole and appeared in a dark space.
It was dead silent here, without a trace of light, and it was so cold that it made people feel cold.
Facing this sudden change, Xiao Ling seemed quite calm. After all, this situation had been expected. If I guessed correctly, this should be the internal space of the ancestral stone.
This space can be used to practice martial arts and improve the proficiency of martial arts. When Xiao Ling is free and has learned new fighting skills, he can use the environment here to think about it and practice it on the spot.
Xiao Ling looked around in the dark. Although he couldn't see anything, he could also feel the difference of this space.
He couldn't help but secretly admire that this Fu Zu was indeed a peerless strong man of a generation, and the treasure he refined was indeed not simple. Even Xiao Ling, whose soul realm has reached the spiritual realm of great perfection, feels that this space is unfathomable.
It seems that compared with such a peerless strong man, there is still a lot of gap between him and himself.
At this moment, Xiao Ling's consciousness, which was condensed by his soul power, suddenly paused, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He had been so focused on the ancestral stone before that he almost forgot that there was a "tenant" hidden in this ancestral stone.
If his soul power was not strong enough, it would be difficult for him to detect the existence of this guy.
"Haha, I didn't expect to bring this guy here this time. It's really interesting." Xiao Ling secretly felt funny.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's consciousness turned and his gaze was directed towards a corner of this dark space. His sight seemed to penetrate the void and glimpse the secrets hidden behind it.
Immediately, a playful smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips, and he shouted easily: "Hey, how long do you plan to hide until?"
There was a hint of narrowness in Xiao Ling's tone, as if he was quite familiar with the existence hidden in the darkness.
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the surrounding space was enveloped in silence again, a dead silence without any response.
Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows lightly, already knowing something in her mind. It seemed that Demon Marten was determined to be a coward that day. This guy really didn't have much courage.
He chuckled twice, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "Huh, since you are so shy and don't want to come out by yourself, then I have no choice but to invite you out politely."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ling flicked his fingers, and a beam of light condensed the essence of his soul power, like a sharp arrow, shot straight into the dark depths where his eyes were staring.
Although this move was done by Xiao Ling at will, its power should not be underestimated. If it was not intercepted, even a strong man at the Dou Wang level would not be able to withstand the force of this blow.
Just when Xiao Ling's soul beam was about to hit its target, a wisp of lavender energy suddenly appeared in the air, easily defusing his attack.
"Okay, okay, I'll just come out, Mr. Diao. I really don't know how a strange guy like you found me, Mr. Diao."
As the purple energy barrier emerged, a voice that sounded like it was trying to stay calm came from the depths of the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light emerged from the space and shot straight into Xiao Ling's sight.
Xiao Ling squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and saw that the light gradually weakened, revealing a figure. It was a mouse that was about the size of a hand. It was as black as ink, and it could blend into the night.
The black rat's small eyes were not cloudy at all. Instead, they were filled with a surprisingly human expression, as if they were completely at a loss.
There was nothing we could do about it, after all, it was well hidden and suddenly it was caught. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing would be a little panicked.
"Tsk, tsk, I was still thinking about what kind of rare and exotic animal it could be. After working for a long time, it turned out to be just a little black mouse." Xiao Ling grinned and looked straight at the little black mouse opposite, reluctantly He couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a bit of ridicule.
He deliberately pretended not to know the Sky Demon Marten. After all, this guy's current appearance was almost the same as that of an ordinary mouse.
A closer look revealed that the body of this little mouse was longer than that of ordinary mice. Although this was not the true form of the Sky Demon Marten, it was so similar to a mouse that Xiao Ling felt a little bit dumbfounded.
"Nonsense, you are the mouse! Master Diao and I are the noble demon Diao. You are blind and blind. Don't confuse Master Diao and me with those ordinary mice!"
After Xiao Ling's words fell, the black rat's hair suddenly exploded as if its tail had been stepped on, and the previous panic was gone.
It stared at Xiao Ling angrily, and even uttered human words, retorting word for word.
"Celestial Demon Marten? Is this some kind of ferret-like monster? I've been around in Dou Qi Continent for so long, but why have I never heard of such a first-class monster race?"
Xiao Ling looked at the black rat in front of him and was so angry that he was not angry at all. Instead, he touched his chin leisurely, put on a confused expression, and said deliberately teasingly.
"The Sky Demon Diao Clan is one of the four major hegemonic clans in the Demon Realm. You know nothing about it. You are really ignorant. Although your aura is a bit weird, even Diao Ye, I can't tell you. The depth of your cultivation. But judging from the spiritual power you have shown, you should be at least an Immortal Talisman Master. Is it possible that you haven't heard about the Celestial Demon Diao Clan? "
As the black rat spoke, he looked at Xiao Ling with a "Why are you so ignorant?" look, with a hint of reproach in his tone.
However, as it spoke, its tone suddenly became suspicious.
"Wait a minute... What is the Dou Qi Continent you just mentioned? Is it a new area that has not been explored yet?"
Black Rat raised his brows slightly, obviously very puzzled by the "Dou Qi Continent" in Xiao Ling's words, and stared at Xiao Ling with a very human and doubtful look.
"Demon Realm? This is the first time I have heard of this. However, I do know the three major monster races in the Beast Realm. I have heard of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan. As for the Immortal Talisman Master you mentioned, well, I'm not sure about this. Is it a state of cultivation?" Xiao Ling looked at the black mouse, smiled slightly, and continued following its topic.
"As for the Fighting Qi Continent, that's where I practice. In the Fighting Qi Continent, what we practice is Fighting Qi. The realm starts with Fighting Qi, then becomes the Fighter, Fighting Master..."
Xiao Ling then explained the basic situation and cultivation system of Dou Qi Continent in detail, which made Black Rat stunned and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Where is this? What kind of place is Dou Qi Continent? Am I not in Tianxuan Continent?" Black Rat was confused and was obviously a little confused by Xiao Ling's words.
"If my intuition is correct, this should no longer be the Profound Sky Continent..."
As soon as the black rat's voice fell, suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded from behind it. (End of this chapter)
