The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 34
In his last life, after overcoming many dangerous obstacles, Ling Han finally entered the Black Light Ground Valley, where he found the mysterious black tower. There was a golden script engraved on the wall of the tower, which was an Unbreakable Heaven Scroll.
It was Ling Han's greatest chance, yet it was also the biggest crisis of his last life. With the shock of the black tower, his physical body was instantly shattered into ashes - for some reason, his soul had endured and passed ten thousand years into the current period of time.
Now looking at this black tower, even with his strong mentality of a Heaven Level warrior, he still could not help but feel scared for a moment.
In his last life, this black tower only trembled slightly, and he was crushed into ashes. Now that it had reappeared within his body, how could this not be frightening?
However, Ling Han quickly regained his composure.
If the black tower intended to kill him a second time, then it could have been done a long time ago - even though he had just discovered the existence of the black tower within his dantian, this thing should have been there for a very long time.
And now that he thought about it carefully, this might eliminate some of the confusion he had.
For example, why had his soul been around for around ten thousand years?
It must be because of the black tower!
The reason for his sudden birth should also be related to the black tower, using some sort of unknown method to allow him to be reborn. The black tower also easily followed him into this new life.
"Brother, should I thank you, or hate you? Huh uh?" Ling Han muttered.
Because of the black tower, his last life ended prematurely, but to be honest, even if he was not crushed to death by the black tower, with a short thousand years, how could he learn the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll?
That's totally impossible.
Because even when he had not eaten or slept, spending all his time studying the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll, he still needed to spend ten thousand years. If it was under normal conditions, how could he achieve that?
Now, he even had the feeling that/it was the black tower that had completely smashed him into ashes to help him and allow him to comprehend the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll in soul form, so he was reborn when he finally comprehended the first layer of Heaven Scroll.
Otherwise, how could there be such a big coincidence in this world?
The black tower, as in the past, still had nine floors, and aside from the lowest floor that had the door tightly closed, the other floors were all completely covered, and the other floors were completely closed, without a window or other entrance. Even with Ling Han's gaze, he still could not identify the materials used to build this black tower. All he could feel from her was an icy, weathered ancient air.
Moreover, Ling Han had never heard that his/her Dantian could accommodate anything other than Origin Power!
This black tower was definitely not from this world!
There was a ninety-nine percent chance that/that black tower came from the divine realm, and so were the Unbreakable Heaven Scrolls engraved on its walls - a cultivation technique that took ten thousand years to grasp was naturally unlikely to belong to this mortal plane either.
Ling Han wanted to use his consciousness to enter the black tower, but it turned out to be impossible. Even if consciousness was a formless power, and thus should be able to find its way to anywhere, there was not even a small pinhole in this black tower where his mental consciousness could enter.
He wanted to force his way through the door, but when he directed his mental awareness to rush towards the door, it immediately recovered.
Okay, this is a master.
In his last life, it erased his existence with an ordinary vibe, and now, his overbearing presence occupied his Dantian while not only could not do anything about it, he was unable to, but also completely do not know what kind of existence this black tower really is.
He was unwilling to surrender, and once again ordered his consciousness to attack the black tower. No matter what, he had to find something.
After several times bombarding his mental strength over and over again against the tower, it seemed like the black tower had somewhat lost patience with him. It really gives a little vibe. Finally there was a reaction, and a flash of consciousness was transmitted by the black tower.
This exceeded the level of a simple language, and allowed Ling Han to instantly understand its meaning. The general idea transmitted by the black tower was "at this time you are still too weak, and it is impossible to enter the black tower. You should at least break through to the Flowing Spring Level. But as the new ruler of the Black Tower, every time you advance to the next level, you will be able to obtain one blessing from the Black Tower to directly increase your strength by one level. "
For example, as per Ling Han's current cultivation level of the initial period of the first layer of the Element Gathering Tier, with the blessing of the black tower, he would be able to display the strength of someone in the first layer of the Tier Gushing Spring. But it was only a blessing once. Even if he didn't use it, it would-and couldn't be accumulated.
Mister? He actually became the master of the black tower ?!
However, this black tower was truly a master. After all, if he was his master, why couldn't he make use of it at all? Moreover, for each tier he ascended, he could only obtain a one-time blessing from the black tower. It seemed like he had to break through to the Flowing Spring Level to be able to find out more.
However, this could be his trump card – to instantly increase his strength by one level, this trump card was more than enough to let him turn things around in times of danger!
But, he could only use this kind of trump card once every time he ascended to the next level ... The tower was really too stingy!
Ling Han could not hold his breath before opening his eyes, looking extremely pouted.
"Come on, let's go home!" Ling Han flicked his finger.
This was the first time she had experienced the warmth of a father's love, and now that she had been away from home for almost a month, she felt a little homesick.
The two of them then began their journey home. On the way, Ling Han passed the second layer of cultivation technique of the Five Elements Heaven Grade Skill inside his head. With his high perception, of course he had no problems and fully understood every little detail of the second layer.
There were nine layers in total within the Five Elements Heaven Grade Skill, corresponding to the cultivation level of martial artists of the Body Refining Tier all the way to Heaven Tier. Every breakthrough meant that/it had to be a change to the corresponding cultivation technique that was in accordance with that cultivation level. [ED/N: As in, he had to cultivate at the next layer every time he reached the next level]
The Element Gathering Tier was indeed something else.
Origin Power gushed out from his dantian. The number was at least ten times that of the ninth layer of Body Refining Level. Origin Power continued to flood his dantian as if it was endless.
When they set off, they spent less than half a day to arrive at their destination, but their return trip only lasted about an hour.
Immediately, Gray Cloud Town appeared before their eyes.
"Greetings, Young Master Han!"
"Greetings, Young Master Han!"
From the moment they stepped into the Ling Clan Residence, all the servants and guards greeted Ling Han respectfully. Everyone now knew that/it Ling Han had defeated the Cheng brothers, and thus naturally would not dare to disrespect the Young Master previously known as Trash anymore.
After wondering, Ling Han learned that his father was currently inside his study, and quickly ran there.
Ling Dong Xing had said before that/that as long as he managed to break through to the Elemental Gathering Level, he would tell him what happened to his mother.
He entered the courtyard, and soon arrived at the door of the study. The door opened, and he coughed softly before entering, and said, "Dad, I'm back."
"Haha, you came back just in time. Tonight, the Cheng Clan held a banquet, and your name was also on the invitation," Ling Dong Xing laughed out loud, raising his head to look at Ling Han while extending an invitation.
Ling Han took the invitation, scanned it, then said with a smile, "Klan Cheng can't last much longer?"
Ling Dong Xing had long since started his counterattack against the Cheng Clan.
When Ma Da Jun cut off the supply of alchemy medicine to the Cheng Clan, the Cheng Clan was like a normal human being who lost a leg - their every move was a trial. In addition, the Ling Clan also attacked another business venture from Cheng Clan – paying a high price to buy medicinal ingredients that were supposed to be sold to Cheng Clan and selling them at a low price.
This way, the Cheng Clan's finances were completely crippled, just like how the Ling Clan's finances were.
Twenty more days of this, and the Cheng Clan was now caught in a huge dilemma.
At this moment, the Cheng Clan actually sent them an invitation to the banquet they were hosting. This was most likely a plea for mercy.
"Later, we'll both attend the banquet. But be careful, and don't run around at banquets. I was worried that the/it Cheng Clan might be desperate enough to set up a trap, " Ling Dong Xing said. He would certainly not dare to face danger alone. The elite members of the clan would also be present with him to act as a deterrence if the Cheng Clan thought of committing violence.
Ling Dong Xing looked at Ling Han, slightly frowning. He felt as if something was amiss, but exactly what it was, he could not think of it.
I said, "All right!"
After half a moment, he suddenly hit the table, and jumped out of his chair, his entire face filled with excitement, and said, "Han'er, you ..you have broken through to the Element Gathering Level!" He finally found out what strange feeling he had.
Ling Han nodded, and said with a smile, "It's over."
"Good! Goody! Nice one!" Ling Dong Xing looked extremely excited, his hands clenched. Because he had exerted too much strength into it, the bones in his fingers let out a grinding sound, and the veins in his hands bulged out.
"Dad, I want to know about Mom!" Ling Han said deeply.
Ling Dong Xing hesitated for a while, before nodding his head and saying, "Right now you do have the right to know. At first I thought your mother's troubles would be hidden in my heart for the rest of my life. I've been hiding it for too long, so long that my heart is also very bitter!"
Ling Han nodded lightly. For many years, Ling Dong Xing had endured the pain of losing his beloved wife alone. There was nothing comforting him, nor was there anyone who shouldered this pain with him, so he naturally suffered greatly.
Ling Han swore in his heart that no matter who forced his parents to separate, he would make sure that the culprit would pay the price for this crime!
