Chapter 4302: Great Change in the World
Chapter 4302: Great Change in the World
Ling Han and Ding Shu walked back together.
Their cultivation levels were low, so they didn't trigger any strange events. They followed the eerie river and entered the forest, staying in the stone house to avoid those strange creatures. Then, they hurried on their way. A month later, they entered the swamp.
Another few days later, they passed through this place, and saw the path that led out.
Then, they pushed open the stone door, and arrived inside the black hole.
Ling Han and Ding Shu both sat down in cross-legged positions. At present, all they could do was wait, but with their habits, they naturally would not waste the slightest bit of time. This little bit of time was also enough for them to comprehend Dao and cultivate.
This wait took over a dozen days.
All of a sudden, this peaceful space bubbled, and then a large hand stretched in, exuding an overwhelming aura.
A Saint!
"Let's go," Ling Han said softly. He immediately dashed toward the large hand.
Ding Shu didn't hesitate, and he immediately dashed over as well.
The two of them landed in the palm of the large hand. The large hand immediately curled up, clenched into a fist, and then retracted.
Though the power of the black hole was terrifying, and even a Sect Master could not escape its attraction, it was not enough in front of Saint-level power, and could not affect this giant hand at all.
Very quickly, this large hand brought Ling Han and Ding Shu out of the black hole.
The large hand loosened, and then dissipated.
"Old man!" Ling Han called out. Ahead of him, the Nine Mountains Saint was standing in midair, and there were a considerable number of people standing beside him. They were the empress, Hu Niu, the large black dog and the others.
"Yi, Little Han, who is this?" the large black dog immediately asked.
"Ding Shu," Ling Han replied.
"En?" The large black dog was shocked. This was Ding Shu, the other Genesis World's Master?
Meanwhile, the empress and Hu Niu came over, one on the left and one on the right. They surrounded Ling Han. They had been apart for ten years, so they naturally missed him very much.
"Let's go back first," the Nine Mountains Saint said. He tore a rip into space and led everyone away.
With the Saint's guidance, their speed was naturally very fast. Only a few days later, they had returned to the Nine Suns Holy Land.
"Thank you, old man. I'll take my leave first. There's no need to see me out." Ding Shu immediately waved his hand in farewell, as if someone was holding a saber to his neck.
This was Ling Han's base camp, so he naturally had to be careful.
However, Ling Han had never thought of using this kind of method to get rid of his competitors. He merely smiled.
"Was it successful?" the Nine Mountains Saint asked Ling Han.
Ling Han cracked a smile, "Just look at what you're saying. How could it not be successful when it is me?"
"Brat!" The Nine Mountains Saint shook his head with a smile, saying, "Don't be cheeky." Ling Han immediately recounted his experiences in these ten years. In truth, he spent the majority of his time refining the Source Dao Stones, so this part only needed to be glossed
over.
Everyone listened quietly. When they found out that Ling Han had actually advanced into the Tenth Form, they all inhaled sharply.
The Ninth Form only existed in legends, but Ling Han actually advanced into the Tenth Form. This was too awesome.
Meanwhile, the Nine Mountains Saint frowned and placed a hand on Ling Han's shoulder. He extended his Spiritual Power, and after a careful examination, he said in a solemn voice, "You can't refine the Source Dao Stone anymore. Although the lifespan lost is negligible compared to the increase in lifespan brought by the increase in cultivation level, the Source Power of your lifespan has been greatly weakened."
"Even now, your foundations have already been damaged, and you need to use Great Herbs to heal it. If you continue to refine them, I'm afraid it will cause an irreversible and eternal injury."
Only now did Ling Han become serious.
He knew that his life force had been damaged, and had already decided to find a Great Herb to compensate for it, but he had not thought that the situation would actually become so serious.
He sighed, took out all the remaining Source Dao Stones, and said, "You guys split them among yourselves, but use them carefully."
The Nine Mountains Saint picked up a Source Power Dao Stone, examined it closely, and said, "This contains Regulations, which is both related to time and even contains a sliver of karma. It's the only thing that can allow a cultivator to sacrifice their lifespan in exchange for time." He paused for a moment, then continued, "At most, three days to refine one, so that the life force that has been expended can slowly recover, and should not hurt the foundations."
Everyone nodded. Ling Han was a good example.
"Oh, that's right. How's the situation in the universe now? Have those Imperial Clan elites become aggressive again?" Ling Han asked. He had already been away from this world for ten
years.
"There really has been a great change," the large black dog said. "In the sixth year after you entered the Dark Clouds Hell, the Mountain Sea Heaven broke apart, and a large number of Yin souls wreaked havoc, stirring up boundless winds and clouds."
Ling Han couldn't help but frown. A large number of Yin souls were invading. This was really a
big matter.
"And now?" he asked.
"In the beginning, everyone acted as if it had nothing to do with them." The little azure dragon continued, "However, this Yin soul army advanced like a hot knife through butter, attacking cities and plundering land. The territory of their force rapidly expanded, and even those Imperial Clans could no longer sit still."
"Now, with the Imperial Clans taking the lead, they have formed an alliance against the Yin soul army. The whole universe has laid down everything else, and are united against the Yin soul army," the perverted pig also said.
Ling Han was even more surprised. Under the pressure of the invasion of the Yin souls, the various great forces had actually joined forces?
"The Imperial Clans and the Imperial Weapons are still unable to expel the Yin souls?" He felt
it strange.
This was the Imperial Weapon. Once it unleashed its might, it was equivalent to a Great Emperor coming back to life. Yet, it was still unable to suppress the Yin souls?
"Sigh, there are too many Yin souls. Moreover, they use the Mountain Sea Heaven as their base, and when they encounter the might of the Imperial Weapon, they hide back into the Netherworld," the large black dog said. "Moreover, there are also Saints among the Yin souls,
as well as Imperial Weapons!"
Ling Han almost spluttered. Yin souls also had Imperial Weapons?
F***, don't tell him that Yin souls could even cultivate to Great Emperor-level.
"It's said that it's transformed from the remains of a Divine Beast from the ancient times. It's
different from the Imperial Weapon of the later generations," the little azure dragon
explained. In this aspect, he had a lot of say.
Ling Han took a deep breath, and concluded, "In other words, the present situation is considerably dire."
"We have to have a new Emperor appear, and only then would we be able to completely chase those Yin souls back. Otherwise, sigh!" The large black dog shook his head. Otherwise, things
would not be good.
"Thus, all the great Imperial Clans have put down their airs now. In fact, they have even spared no expense, and established a so-called Ancestral King Academy, focusing fully on nurturing prodigies, so as to stimulate the world of cultivation to enter into an era of prosperity. Prodigies from various places have appeared, all of them competing for the imperial throne."
Though the heaven and earth were already prepared to welcome a new Emperor, the appearance of the Imperial Path still needed an opportunity, such as enough prodigies.
In the Imperial Path, there was no lack of competition. If there were only a few people, then what was the point of competing?
When one became Emperor, it was never one that was outstanding among the mediocre, but rather countless prodigies would fight tooth and nail to become Emperor. Only the most outstanding, the most naturally talented, and the most fortunate would be able to stand out. "Ancestral King Academy?" Ling Han was slightly interested, "Can anyone go?"
