The Branch Division of the Asura Kingdom was located behind a 30,000-foot snowy mountain range. The branch division began halfway up the mountain and was built upwards towards the top of the mountain. Here, there were abundant heaven and earth energies. With the support of the array formation, various delicious spirit trees and spirit plants grew in an annoying luxury, with incredible spirit flowers and spirit grass. And in the higher regions there were snowy peaks covered with white ice that had not melted for tens of thousands of years. With these two different scenes put together, it was truly beautiful to see.
The architectural style of the Asura Heavenly Kingdom was borrowed from ancient times. Many of the buildings here were formed from pure black obsidian, giving off an extremely heavy feeling.
Lin Ming landed early and walked right outside the entrance of the Asura Divine Kingdom Branch Division.
"Stop! Identify yourself! ”
Two high guards blocked Lin Ming's path.
"I am a martial artist from the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom. I heard that the branch division of the heavenly Kingdom offers generous bounties to any martial artist who can capture the evil people who steal their heavenly Kingdom inheritance. I came to gain a more specific understanding of the situation. ”
The two guards looked at Lin Ming up and down. Although the end of his Revolving Core cultivation was not very high, it was still quite good when compared to his young age. They estimate he came from a strong influence.
If the Asura Heavenly Kingdom wanted to capture Lin Ming within the Nine Furnace heavenly Kingdom they would have to rely on the local strength of that area. To martial artists like Lin Ming who looked as if they were from a local army, they could be considered as guests of a branch division of the heavenly Kingdom.
"Pull your mask down!" A guard said.
Lin Ming did not hesitate, immediately took off his wood spirit jade mask and revealed a very ordinary face. This was the appearance that Lin Ming had taken after using the appearance changing technique.
Back when Lin Ming was in the Seven Profound Martial Houses, Vice House Master Bi Luo had become an appearance changing technique master. Not only could he change his appearance but also copy their voice, temperament, and even aura. When Lin Ming had strayed into the Southern Wilderness, it was all because Bi Luo had turned into Qin Ziya's appearance without Lin Ming even realizing it.
Afterwards, when a huge wave of ferocious beasts erupted throughout the entire Divine Phoenix Province, Lin Ming had rushed to Green Mulberry City to help them. Bi Luo had been waiting there to kill Lin Ming, but the end result was that he had been killed by Lin Ming instead with a dreamland charm. Bi Luo's special appearance-altering technique also fell into Lin Ming's hands.
It was unknown where the ancient ruins of this appearance changing technique came from, but its rank was quite good. Although it could not be considered too profound an appearance changing technique for the current Lin Ming, it was still more than enough to deceive two guards with lower cultivation.
"You can come in. ”
The guards did not doubt it. If they really checked it out then it would be easy to find that there was something strange about her appearance. The Asura heavenly kingdom definitely had a method to do this. However, the key was that they had never imagined Lin Ming would voluntarily enter their heavenly Asura Kingdom Branch Division.
For him, this was a tiger's nest. There were three top 100 ranked Destiny Decree masters personally guarding this area as well as several other Destiny Decree masters present. These masters of the Decree of Fate were from the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom, the Sublim Melting Heavenly Kingdom, and even the heavenly Seven Star Kingdom, all of them elite elites who had come to capture Lin Ming alive.
Coming here to cause trouble is just a death wish. Moreover, this area had the support of the Asura Heavenly Kingdom. Anyone who came here first had to overcome the incredible hurdle of the name of the Asura Heavenly Kingdom.
After Lin Ming passed through the entrance, he placed his wood spirit jade mask back. There were many masters present in this branch division; he did not believe that his crude appearance-altering technique would be able to fool all of them.
As he walked forwards, Lin Ming's steps were extremely slow. He looked around and observed the array formation laid in the Asura Kingdom Branch Division. All of these were defensive array formations that were mostly designed to counter incoming enemies. Lin Ming continued to observe until he saw the base of the main temple and he finally saw a large-scale sealing formation that could cut everyone inside from the outside.
Once this array formation was activated, it would require some effort to cut through it.
"This sealing formation used many techniques from the Realm of the Gods. This was extremely clever and the main foundation of this array formation came from being left behind by the Demon Emperor, just like the array formation used to seal the Eight Dragon Jade Dawn Array and the Demon Emperor medicinal garden … The Asura heavenly kingdom had actually inherited a part of the Demon Emperor's legacy. ”
Lin Ming muttered to himself. If this array formation were from a different engineering school, then it would require a lot of effort to break through. But because it came from the same engineering school, and especially because Lin Ming had a much clearer understanding of the Demon Emperor array formation technique, he said, it didn't take too long for him to fully see through this array formation. He had full confidence that he would be able to leave once activated.
“There should be no problem with my escape route. ”
As Lin Ming was thinking like this, he stepped into the sealing array. Then, from afar, he gradually began to hear the sounds of fighting.
After walking around an incense stick of time, Lin Ming finally arrived at the large hall. This large hall was entirely black and shaped like a pagoda. In front of this large hall was an open field and many martial artists had already gathered here.
Most of these martial artists had a cultivation at the Revolving Core realm upwards. There were also some Xiantian realm juniors, youths who might accompany their parents to pay a visit here.
All of these martial artists were divided into clear camps. Each camp had high-level Life Destruction martial artists leading them. They were obviously from another fifth-grade sect that was similar to the Misty Stream Sect.
Within the borders of the four heavenly Kingdoms, there were many fifth-grade sects. They were all led by the four heavenly Kingdoms, with a relationship similar to how the Seven Profound Valleys and the heavenly Phoenix Island were related.
At this moment, in front of the square, the two late Revolving Core martial artists engaged in a fierce confrontation. The energy beam crashed into the defensive line, constantly causing a brilliant ray of light to shine out. With regards to their age, it was already good enough to be this strong.
The sound of battle that Lin Ming heard earlier came from here.
"Why are they fighting?" Lin Ming was a little confused. He was just about to ask when he realized that on the elevated platform not too from the battlefield, there was actually an unknown box of metal there. This box was open and filled with piles of spirit essence stones.
Spirit essence stones were only divided into three ordinary, superior, and top grade – ranks.
Top grade spirit essence stones were the source of the spirit essence stone quarries; they had almost completely disappeared from the world. It was considered excellent for producing even one top grade spirit essence stone from the entire spirit essence stone mine. This was a treasure that even the Heavenly Sea Great Elder would strive for.
As for superior spirit essence stones, each one had a value equal to 300 ordinary spirit essence stones. Superior spirit essence stones had extremely rich origin energy inherent in them; this type of spirit essence stone had an incredible effect when used to make breakthroughs in cultivation.
When Lin Ming decided to break through to Life Destruction, it would be safer if he could obtain some superior spirit essence stones. During the breakthrough it would help him absorb heaven and earth origin energy faster and also stabilize his cultivation.
'There were about 1000 superior spirit essence stones in that box. It was probably the 300,000 spirit essence stones promised the Asura Heavenly Kingdom! '
300,000 spirit essence stones, and it was comparable to a superior spirit essence stone. If he could obtain it then it would be a great fortune!
Lin Ming was already thinking about how to rob this fortune when he discovered that in the main hall, not too far away from the high platform, there was a middle-aged man dressed in black meditating with his eyes closed. When he looked more carefully he could see that this man was hovering an inch off the ground – he was actually hanging in the air.
'The sixth stage Life Destruction!'
The black-clothed middle-aged man did not hide his cultivation, he was clearly at the sixth stage of Life Destruction. Combined with his not-so-old age, he even had a slim chance of reaching the heavenly Ocean realm!
Without a doubt, this person was one of the three Heavenly Asura Kingdom Demon Envoys, a character ranked within the top 100 masters of the Destiny Decree!
And floating beside this black-clothed middle-aged man was a half-square-foot wood spirit jade box. This jade box was surrounded by layer upon layer of seals and the image of the wild Giant Demon was carved into the grain of the box. Although Lin Ming could not see what was inside, he could already guess the contents.
The box should contain the God Transforming Pill!
300,000 spirit essence stones and God-Changing Pills!
Unfortunately, that God Transforming Pill was too close to that black-clothed middle-aged man. It was extremely unlikely that Lin Ming could hope to steal the box from close range.
'This Asura Kingdom Branch Division also had two more Demon Envoys, but they were not around. To send the Demon Envoy to greet these guests had already given more than enough face. '
As Lin Ming was thinking this, he turned towards the 20-year-old youth and casually asked, "Why are the two of them fighting on stage?"
The young man was originally excited to watch the battle that was happening in front of him and did not feel too well distracted by Lin Ming. He was going to ignore Lin Ming when he saw that Lin Ming's cultivation was at the late Revolving Core realm. Then, he patiently explained, “They are struggling to get on the talent list. If the Asura Divine Kingdom wanted to use the intelligence networks and connections of these fifth-grade sects to search for Lin Ming, they naturally had to provide some benefits. In addition to putting up a gift gift, they also promised to work with us to cultivate some talent. ”
The young man pointed to the high platform. Lin Ming saw that on the high platform, other than the 300,000 ordinary essence stones of superior essence stones, there was also a list. In the list it is written the words – superior talent, medium talent, ordinary talent.
There was space left below each rank. It seems to be ready to be filled with names.
As Lin Ming saw this, he immediately understood what was happening. Divine Phoenix Island had also once held similar plans throughout the Divine Phoenix Province – the larger sects would help the smaller sects increase their talent. This was not too expensive for the larger sects and the smaller sects actually gained a huge advantage for their future talents. At this moment, the heroic young elites were now competing against each other for superior talents.
“Interesting competition. '' Lin Ming's lips curved into a grin. He came for two reasons today.
The first is stealing, and the second is messing with this place.
As for provoking the fury of the Asura Divine Kingdom, it was just a joke. Lin Ming was already marked on their kill list. If not for the fact that so many other heroic young elites were present at the Nine Flowers Banquet, Lin Ming would not have minded killing Situ Chuan and Situ Feng there at all.
At this moment, the match on stage was already over. A short-haired young man holding a sword had won. He laughed out loud and said, "I, Tu Yifeng, will take the title of superior talent!"
As she spoke she jumped onto the platform high and lifted the brush, ready to write her own name to the talent announcement list.
But at this moment, a loud scorn spread in the air. "Tu Yifeng, if you want first rank then ask my sword first!"
This rampant voice seemed familiar. Lin Ming glanced over and saw that the bamboo hat youth from the restaurant, Yan Junxuan, was actually here. The one who spoke earlier was him.
It was just that Yan Junxuan had already put down his bamboo hat. The scar was still visible in the corner of his eyes, accentuating his arrogant expression.
Beside Yan Junxuan was an old man with long eyebrows. He was wearing gray clothes and his cultivation was at the fifth stage of Life Destruction. It was clear that he was the Honoured Lord that Yan Junxuan spoke of in the restaurant.
'The fire of this old man's life was weak; I guess he was already about 2000 years old. Only at the fifth stage of Life Destruction at the age of 2000 years, he could only be arranged at the end of the Destiny Decree. It was impossible for him to make another breakthrough on the road of his martial arts. Since their Misty Stream Sect implicated themselves in this matter then they might have thought of giving the God-changing pill to Yan Junxuan. Heh, it was no wonder that Yan Junxuan was so arrogant in the restaurant, as if the God Transforming Pill had been specially prepared for him. '
