"You brat ... Why do you insist on leaving?" Huo Violentstone snorted. But as he looked at Lin Ming's sincere expression, he relented. He knew that when Lin Ming did something, he naturally had his own reasons for doing it. He would not do something that he did not fully understand. Whether it was Huo Yanguang or snatching a drop of Ancient Phoenix blood essence, he had done so with great confidence.
Lin Ming hesitated. Actually, having to think of excuses wasn't too difficult. In fact, he could even come up with some silly excuses like he was interested in the dark grip of fate or something like that. After all, destiny was a concept illusory enough that he could attribute his reason to it and no one could doubt it.
However, just as Lin Ming was about to speak, Huo Violentstone waved his hand and said, "Well, whatever. As long as you know what you're doing. I believe in your judgment."
"Thank you, Your Honorable Master for your approval." Lin Ming was happy. If possible, he did not want to create a random lie to deceive Huo Violentstone.
Other than Lin Ming, Yan Littlemoon also relaxed. If Lin Ming did not leave then Huo Violentstone would really bring up the idea of marriage with his Yan Family, and then he would be stuck in the puzzle of having to make two difficult choices. On one hand, he couldn't help but admit that he held goodwill towards Lin Ming. On the other hand, he once swore to himself.
Everyone boarded the spirit ship and started flying back to the Ancient Phoenix Clan. As for Lin Ming, he set off in the middle of a journey alone. Just before leaving, Huo Violentstone gave him five million violet sun stones as well as his own spirit ship so that he could travel through space.
Lin Ming left most of the dragon blood to Yan Littlemoon. Most of this dragon blood was placed in the spatial ring. He simply told her that this was the lucky chance he had gotten when he was unconscious and decided to share some of it with her, and also asked her not to divulge this secret.
When Lin Ming left, Yan Littlemoon finally searched for a spatial ring. It was then that he found over 1000 drops of dragon blood in his spatial ring, and this dragon blood was also of relatively high quality. This leaves him dumbfounded. He did not think that Lin Ming would give him anything of high value.
"Where did Lin Ming get so much dragon blood? Did he find a pool of dragon blood in the God Beast Mystic Realm?" Yan Littlemoon muttered to herself. In his opinion, if Lin Ming divided the dragon blood this much, then he would definitely remain much more with him.
"Could it be that Lin Ming's lucky chance was the same as the phoenix blood pool I found in the past?" When Yan Littlemoon stored the dragon blood, she looked out her bedroom window, staring at the boundless void and countless space stars. He felt an inexplicable loss as he fell into a deep and pensive trance.
Yan Littlemoon had never thought that Lin Ming would leave for so many years at this time, and by the time she returned, she was already at the Divine Sea realm …
………………
In the endless breadth of space, a light gray spirit ship quickly flew over. This spirit ship was not very large, and its gray surface seemed to fuse into the starry sky. Moreover, there was a formation hiding the array carved onto the surface of the spirit ship. If a master did not carefully investigate with their senses, it was impossible to find.
This spirit ship master was naturally Lin Ming.
At this moment, Lin Ming was sitting in the middle of the spirit ship, studying the array formation that was riding on it. "Even for such a small spirit ship, passing through space with such a huge shift once only required 100,000 violet sun stones. It would take too many sun violet stones to pass through space .. and, if one were to travel across the great world of the celestial Realm world, one would also have to use a transmission array, as well, and the one consuming the sun stones was even more purple. Poor martial artists have never been able to travel between stars … "
"That's right. In the heavenly Realm, very few people used purple violet stones for training. They were mainly used to move various array formations. Especially for a Holy Land level palace, they had to consume a large amount of sun violet stones to defend. Violet sun stones were the most common source of power in the heavenly Realm. "
With a faint strange sound, Mo Eversnow appeared beside Lin Ming. He had been hiding in the Magic Cube all along, so it was impossible for anyone to detect its existence.
Lin Ming asked, "Miss Mo, I already have some questions that have long been trapped in my heart. I'd like to know if I can ask you about them?"
"Ask," said Mo Eversnow.
Mo Eversnow gently shook her head. He said, "I don't know what the Magic Cube is. Perhaps it is the crystallized soul remnant of an existence beyond our comprehension. It has the ability to destroy the souls of all existences. However, with my strength, it is extremely difficult to meditate and feel it, let alone control it thoroughly. "
"Destroy souls? Is that some kind of soul attack treasure?" Lin Ming recalled that in his first dream of Mo Eversnow, he had seen her use half-and-a-half of her World King power to instantly annihilate 10,000 Divine Realm powerhouses. Many of them were in the late realm of the heavenly Gods and even the realm of the Sacred Gods. He could even injure an early World King, Tian Mingzi. One could see from here alone how powerful the Magic Cube's soul attack function was.
Mo Eversnow said, "To attack the soul is only one function of the Magic Cube. This had another effect that completely defied the will of the heavens. That is ... After destroying and absorbing the soul, it can erase that soul spirit mark and turn it into an ownerless memory fragment. If one were to swallow these memory fragments, they could actually obtain the memories of others. This includes cultivation methods, martial skills, additional skills, array formation techniques, and everything else you can think of! In other words, if you can master the Magic Cube, if you kill someone who has learned transcendent heavenly powers, you can kill them and swallow their god souls with the Magic Cube. Then, you can remove their spirit marks and absorb their memories. You will gain all transcendent heavenly powers without the slightest loss. "
Mo Eversnow slowly nodded. To date, this was the most powerful function of the Magic Cube he had discovered.
It should be known that in the martial world, the foundation of every sect was their legacy.
But, this inheritance jade slip could only be carved by those who had a very high level of understanding of this inheritance, and it also required a large amount of time and effort to do so. This caused the inheritance jade slip of this cultivation method to become even more valuable, as those who could let a martial artist learn an extremely powerful top-tier cultivation method to great success were too few in number. There were even many heritage jade slips that were single and unique, with no other copies in existence.
Even if a normal disciple saw this jade slip and recorded everything in their minds, they would still not have the ability to duplicate it. If they were killed by someone, the assassin could use soul searching techniques, but all they found were only incomplete fragments. It was impossible to use this method to reproduce the full cultivation method.
In other words, as long as a sect maintained and made their inheritance jade slips, they would never divulge their inheritance.
Similarly, array formation techniques, alchemy techniques, refining techniques, all of these were the same.
To actually obtain one's cultivation method or array formation technique, additional skill memory, practice experience, and so on, there was only one way to do it, after all, and that was to directly fuse the soul with the other party.
All souls have a spirit sign. Once absorbed, the spirit marks will fuse together and people will start to lose themselves – all that makes that person that person.
The spirit sign is fully integrated into every part of the soul. If one wanted to remove the spirit mark, it was actually very simple. One only needed to use a battle spirit to remove the spirit mark, but this action would also destroy the soul.
When comparing the brain to the soul, the spirit sign will be the same as every nerve and blood vessel that flows through the brain. It is impossible for a doctor, however skilled they may be, to remove those nerves and blood vessels without damaging the brain. Thus, when one removed the spirit mark, the soul would also not be able to withstand it. The soul will eventually be completely crushed into nothingness.
But the Magic Cube was different. It could perfectly erase all spirit marks. It allowed one to fully absorb all the memories and experiences of the opponent, no matter what the top cultivation method or additional skill was.
Mo Eversnow's words did not surprise Lin Ming; she could already utilize this function. But, the memory fragments that Lin Ming had absorbed in the past were all average qualities and he was only able to do so passively. If one day he could control the Magic Cube perfectly, then every time he killed a genius, he would be able to swallow their memories and retrieve whatever he thought was useful. This was the same as countless extreme geniuses helping to train Lin Ming. Once this starts to pile up, it will become even scarier. Lin Ming would be able to store more and more information in his mind to the limitless.
Lin Ming could not help but ask, "Miss Mo, from what I know, this Magic Cube may be some legendary magic tool. How could it fall into the hands of the Green Feather Holy Land? Looks like the Green Feather of the Holy Land just … "
Mo Eversnow faintly smiled and said, "You're saying that the Verdant Feather Holy Land is too weak to control the Magic Cube? In fact, the Verdant Feather Holy Land is a King World-level Holy Land, and the one with the highest cultivation.is my grandfather, the Green Feather World King. And, my sworn enemy Tian Mingzi was once a direct disciple of my grandfather. The Magic Cube was first accidentally obtained in the mystic realm by my grandfather, but at that moment, he did not know what it was, so the reason why he could maintain the Magic Cube was so long.
"At that moment, my grandfather only felt as if the aura of the Magic Cube was extraordinary. He began to focus his time on studying and deciphering them slowly, but unfortunately, there were some mutations that happened later. Maybe when my grandfather meditated on the secret of the Magic Cube he caused a huge reaction, but regardless of what happened, the end result was that my grandfather's soul was severely injured. During this period, my grandfather's strength greatly decreased due to this soul injury. The soul of a World King level powerhouse was seriously injured, wanting to restore it was extremely difficult! One would need an unimaginable level of heavenly matter. For example, like the supreme dragon bone. The supreme dragon bone is something incomparably difficult to find, even for a King World level Holy Land, so my grandfather had no choice but to slowly recover.
"But by chance, Tian Mingzi had also managed to break through to the World King realm at that time. His strength increased dramatically and his original talent was also extremely high. The only thing bigger is his ambition. When he found out about the Magic Cube, he took advantage of the period when my grandfather was injured to ambush him and try to steal the Magic Cube! The result was that he underestimated how strong my grandfather was. My grandfather has been a World King for many years and his background is very deep. "He paid dearly to force Tian Mingzi. But then ... more wounds were added to my grandfather's original soul wound, and he ended up perishing because of it …"
As Mo Eversnow spoke to here, her eyes shone with sadness. Lin Ming also became aware. No wonder Mo Eversnow hated Tian Mingzi with every fiber of her body. He's just a mad wolf. He used to be the main disciple of the Green Feather Holy Land, but he in turn exterminated the Green Feather Holy Land! Such a person truly deserved to die!
Mo Eversnow continued, "After that, the Magic Cube fell into my hands. But, because of what happened, a huge split appeared in the Green Feather Holy Land. Some people decided to betray me and follow Tian Mingzi, then set up their own Holy Netherworld. Land, you should already know what happened after that.
