Sheng Mei expressionlessly said, “I can hold a double cultivation ceremony with you, but after our wedding then we will be river water and well water, not interrupting each other. I'm not going to organize your affairs and you won't bother me.”
Lin Ming could not help but feel comforted by Sheng Mei's words. She must have found herself thinking of the scene where her demonic avatar shared a bed with Sheng Mei. With such a mental picture, it was no wonder Sheng Mei felt it was impossible to accept it.
Thinking of this, Lin Ming's lips curved with a smile. He slowly asked, “Why do I do that?”
Lin Ming's words carried a playful and slightly provocative tone, immediately arousing Sheng Mei's anger.
However, no matter how it was said, the reality was that he had lost to Lin Ming. Moreover, he was the one who had decided the rules. Only heaven knew why he would face such an abnormality today and suffer such a great loss.
Thus, even if he was filled with disgust towards Lin Ming he could not help but admit defeat and said in a soft voice. “Your talent defies the will of heaven. Looking at the entire Dark Abyss, every beautiful woman, succubus demon, goddess, were all within reach of a hand. As long as you want then countless beauties will be willing to double cultivate with you, so what does it matter to you if you lack one? I'm not going to manage your affairs, and even I'm going to give all sorts of help to you. As long as you don't bother me then I'm even willing to pay a certain price for this!
“Pay price?”
lin Ming's mind stirred. When Lin Ming joined this competition, the initial reason he did so was to prove his own value and strength so that he could obtain the qualification to bring the Book of Eon to the Demon God Tomb.
The second reason was because he wanted to compare his strength to Sheng Mei's strength.
After reaching the level of Lin Ming, there were far too many martial artists capable of competing with him at the same limit. Finding an opponent was far, far too difficult. She and Sheng Mei were both born in the same era, just like yin and yang. Between the two of them, their battle was already determined by fate.
As for taking advantage of someone when they were done ..well, this was the rule Sheng Mei had set for herself. And when it came to establishing a relationship with Sheng Mei, Lin Ming did not consider this at all. She and Sheng Mei were not lovers. Although they had once gathered at the Sky Spill Planet, it was because he was forced to due to the situation he was in.
Lin Ming had feelings for Sheng Mei, but there was no way his feelings were as deep as what he felt towards Xiao Moxian. And, she couldn't take advantage of her past relationship with Sheng Mei to do something unusual with her that the bottomless pit would not normally do.
But now, hearing Sheng Mei mention that she would offer certain conditions on her own initiative, Lin Ming was actually quite interested.
“First, let me know what price you are willing to pay.” Lin Ming lazily said as he traced his chin. Although taking advantage of someone in trouble was not the action of a respectable man, he and Sheng Mei were in opposing factions, so he naturally had to do everything to fight for the advantage.
“You can improve any condition you want. I will try to satisfy them as long as it is not too excessive.” Sheng Mei relaxed as she heard Lin Ming agree to this and she did not care if Lin Ming might try asking for too much.
Lin Ming laughed inwardly. Actually, he already knows what he wants. Still, he pretended to hesitate for a moment and then said to Sheng Mei, “Devil crystal, I have no shortage. Even if the demon crystals are top grade, I am not interested. As for the blood pills, medicines, I have more than enough. The weapons I have as well, and you can't necessarily give me anything better. Looks like all over your body, nothing attracts me..”.
Lin Ming's words were said to build psychological superiority. But, the moment Sheng Mei heard them, they were somewhat jagged in the ears.
Especially when Lin Ming said that nothing in his body caught his attention. If an ordinary woman heard this, they would have already been furious, but Sheng Mei's expression remained unchanged, as if she was a glacier that had existed for a million years.
He frowned and said, “Stop messing around. Just state your terms!”
“Mm, good!” Lin Ming smiled. “Although I don't want to take advantage of you, you should also know that if I double cultivate with you, regardless of whether it's you or me, it will greatly increase our strength. The rules are set by you but in the end you just want to get back on your promise. Then, I must get the appropriate compensation. Your last nine rounds, the nine lotuses are not bad, so is the Double Concept of Immortality and Annihilation in your sword. I am very interested in them. My condition is I want to borrow them to observe and see!”
Lin Ming had long wanted to see the Scriptures as a whole and complete. 12,000 years ago when Lin Ming obtained the Scriptures in the Soul World, the truth was that it was only a duplicate of the golden page. As for the black book that recorded death within it, Lin Ming had never even seen it before. He relied on the source soul power Sheng Mei had left in him to slowly sense, joining with it his comprehension he had gained through life and death samsara to comprehend it bit by bit.
Although the things he understood himself were also the most suitable for himself, he was still held back by time. When it comes to strength alone, then it is impossible for his version to be compared to the complete and original Scriptures.
Hearing Lin Ming's request, Sheng Mei fused her eyebrows together. According to all logical reasons, the Holy Scriptures were simply not suitable for the development of the bottomless pit. But, when he thought about whether Lin Ming seemed to understand the Laws of Scripture to such an extent that he could break through them, he really suspected that if he really lent the Scriptures to him then he would be able to see a lot of things.
“You shouldn't have gone too far! The two Laws of Life and Destruction are the basis of my cultivation. It is impossible for me to give it to you! ”
Sheng Mei refused out loud. Lin Ming thought, no longer speaking. Sheng Mei felt a little scared but also did not speak. If neither of them could come to an agreement then he really did not know what he was going to do.
The truth is if they don't share a bed even after marriage then it's tantamount to breaking her promise. If this matter were to spread then it would be on the same level as breaking off the engagement.
“I'll take a step back. Regarding the Laws of Life and Destruction, I only want the Laws of Destruction. I have faith in my own endurance so I don't need endless strength. Instead, destruction is more suited to me. ”
Lin Ming put forth his earliest wish at this critical moment. He had already seen the golden page so he did not need it. What he really wanted to see was the black book of death.
In fact, when Lin Ming first entered the Dark Abyss, he had discovered the remains of a mysterious female skeleton from 10 billion years passed that resembled Sheng Mei. On top of these bones were engraved runes of the Laws of Scripture.
However, the bone runes were at the end bone runes. It was a summarized symbol of the Laws after the cultivation of a martial artist achieved great success, and not the earliest step to cultivation. Lin Ming still had flaws in his understanding of the Scriptures and he wanted to make amends for this with Sheng Mei's help.
This was Sheng Mei's last concession; three days to see the original text. No matter how high of a perception Lin Ming was the most he could do was memorize Laws roughly, and he might not even be able to complete the entire book.
And without the original text, he could only cultivate on his own and it was also impossible for him to leak anything outside. Moreover, without the Laws of Life, it was impossible for Lin Ming's achievements to reach such a high boundary.
Of course, this was Sheng Mei's mind. But, they were exactly as Lin Ming wanted them to be.
She smiled, “Good, then three days.”
Three days is more than enough. This was because from Sheng Mei's memories, her own understanding, and the woman's rune bones that seemed like Sheng Mei's previous life, she already had a deep understanding of the Death Law. What he wanted now was to use the black book to unify his comprehension thoroughly.
“Remember what you said!”
Sheng Mei warned Lin Ming.
As the two secretly made a deal with the voice transmission, Elder Eon God and Elder Deep Epoch were still discussing the date of the wedding.
Without Sheng Mei needing to remind him, Lin Ming directly said, “Two Elders, I am sorry for this disturbance but I want to hold a wedding after the trip to the Demon God Tomb!”
Lin Ming's words made both Eon God and Deep Epoch shocked.
“Mm. I want to make the most of the time before the Demon God Tomb is opened to cultivate as much as I can. I don't want to distract myself with the double cultivation ceremony. ”
Lin Ming's words finally caused Sheng Mei's eyes to soften slightly. If the dual cultivation ceremony could be postponed a little longer then that would naturally be a good thing.
Deep Epoch looked towards Sheng Mei and saw Sheng Mei nodding in agreement.
Deep Epoch opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but ended up not. As two wedding parties, Lin Ming and Sheng Mei naturally had the authority to decide on the wedding date.
The truth was that Deep Epoch wanted to say that if they could hold a double cultivation ceremony before the Demon God Tomb was opened, then the two of them could immediately begin dual cultivation, he said, and it might even be more beneficial to their cultivation!
Deep Epoch did not say much and Eon God also wisely remained silent.
At this moment, Lin Ming suddenly said, “Elder Deep Epoch, I remember that before my match with the Sacred Devil, I had, we agreed that if I could defeat him then I would get treatment at least at the level of a core disciple like Sacred Devil?”
Deep Epoch thought that Lin Ming would originally talk about things about marriage, but he did not think he would talk about this instead. “Yes that's right. This was the basic rule behind the alliance established by Deep King Road. Anyone who is strong will get more benefits! Moreover, you are already engaged to my Inner King's Holy Demon Path so you are now half a disciple of my Inner King's Path. The promise I made earlier would naturally be the one I kept. ”
“Good!”
Lin Ming gently smiled. And beside Lin Ming, the Great Elder of the Ancient Eon Sect heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Lin Ming wanted to bring the Book of Eon to the Tomb of the Demon God …
Lin Ming turned his hand and the Book of Eon appeared in his palm.
The mysterious black book carried a deep and ancient abyssal power. The moment it appeared, Elder Deep Epoch's eyes widened and his heart trembled.
“This....!?”
“Book Eon!”
Lin Ming's voice echoed through the entire audience.
The Book of Eon cannot be hidden. As long as one brought it to the Demon God Tomb then others would find it. Since that was the case then he might as well take it out now and reveal it to the public, and then follow the rules set by Deep King Road to decide who would manage it.
With Lin Ming's current status, with the strength he had just proven in battle, and along with the fact that it was he who had originally discovered the Book of Eon, the, for all reason he should have held it!
The appearance of the Book of Eon made the entire audience into an uproar.
Many bottomless abyss stood up, staring at the black book in Lin Ming's hands in disbelief. The Book of Eon that had been lost for billions of years was actually discovered today!?
Doesn't this mean that the originally declining Ancient Eon Sect will revive the fate of their sect!?
And with Lin Ming coming out of nowhere, the Ancient Eon Sect would undergo an earth-shaking change overnight.
The originally desperate Ancient Eon Sect was now filled with boundless expectations!
