Chapter 1614 Undercurrent (2)
“Your next destination is Devil Valley, and it will be too late for you to go there.” The man spoke calmly. “Something is bound to happen.”
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and expressed his dissatisfaction. “Can you please stop playing riddles for once and tell me directly?”
The man went silent for a moment and said. “In short, something inside that place is about to emerge. You are the only person in the entire Divine Realm who can resist it. The power of the Light Pole will play a significant role in this battle.”
“However, you may not be able to go out on time. Perhaps the world has already turned into ruins when you leave this place.”
“Something inside Devil Valley?” Yun Lintian furrowed his brow.
As far as he could remember, there was a rumor about an ancient devil god residing inside the valley. Additionally, there were numerous formidable ancient creatures. The consequences would be unimaginable once they came out.
He took a deep breath and asked. “How can I improve the absorption process? You must know it, right?”
“Unfortunately, no.” The man said plainly. “The Light Pole and the Dark Pearl are the most powerful relics. It took the Beyond Heaven King more than a hundred thousand years to refine them. Even though your physique is much better than the others, it will still take you a long time to assimilate their powers.”
“The others? Who are you talking about again?” Yun Lintian asked curiously. “The man I met last time also said something similar.”
“You will eventually know it sooner or later.” The man replied calmly. “Once the truth surfaces, I hope you can withstand it.”
Yun Lintian’s brows knitted together. He couldn’t decipher what the man was saying. The truth? What truth was he talking about?
“You are more fortunate than the others. Do not waste this opportunity.” The man spoke further. “Our fateful enemies are about to return. You must do your best to obtain the Dark Pearl and comprehend the Great Laws of Life and Death as soon as possible. Only then will you have the ability to dictate your fate.”
“The Great Law of Life and Death…?” Yun Lintian frowned deeply.
“My time is up.” The man said. “I wish you good luck… Perhaps you can do it… No, you are the only one who can do it.”
As his voice fell, the man gradually faded and disappeared completely, leaving Yun Lintian standing there with a pensive expression.
Since the Beyond Heaven King perished at the hands of the people from the Primordial God Tribe, the fateful enemies that the man was referring to should be them. However, Yun Lintian somehow felt that there must be something more beyond this. Perhaps it was an enemy from another universe?
Another point was, who were “the others” in his words? Could it be that the Beyond Heaven King had many other successors? But if that were the case, why would all the relics still be here? They should have taken all of them away a long time ago, right?
The more Yun Lintian thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn’t figure out the full meaning behind the man’s words.
“Phew…” Yun Lintian let out a long breath and set this matter aside. Even if he racked his brain today, it was impossible for him to find the answer.
He sat down on the ground and closed his eyes, trying to make contact with the Light Pole. A moment later, he felt a surge of power rush into his body, spreading to every corner.
On the outside, Ling Zemin and Xing Liuxian struggled to regain their sight, but their efforts were in vain. They still couldn’t open their eyes, even with the help of their divine power.
Buzz—
Suddenly, the surrounding lights flashed and transformed into a river of light, shooting towards Yun Lintian. At the same time, every pore of Yun Lintian’s body opened up, welcoming the light into his body.
Sensing the change in their surroundings, Ling Zemin and Xing Liuxian gradually opened their eyes. Immediately, they saw Yun Lintian standing there motionless, his entire body enveloped in a beautiful river of light, which made him look like a god.
Ling Zemin quickly extended his spiritual sense and discovered that it still couldn’t penetrate the light barrier in front of him.
“Damn it!” Ling Zemin lost his composure. He was extremely upset that Yun Lintian was being shielded by the power of the relic, leaving him helpless as he watched him snatch everything away. It was as if there was the world’s most exquisite delicacy in front of him, but he couldn’t indulge in it.
Meanwhile, Xing Liuxian tried to sense the star energy in his surroundings. His expression immediately darkened when he discovered that the star energy had completely disappeared. He couldn’t practice here anymore.
He thought for a moment and reached a decision. It was pointless for him to stay here.
Xing Liuxian turned to look at Ling Zemin and said. “I’ll leave now.” 𝚋𝚎ｄ𝚗ｏｖ𝚎𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
Ling Zemin glanced at him coldly but said nothing.
Xing Liuxian didn’t care about Ling Zemin’s thoughts. He made contact with the star-shaped mark on the back of his right hand, and his body was immediately enveloped in a white light. In the next moment, he disappeared from the place.
Ling Zemin watched as Xing Liuxian disappeared and cursed under his breath. “I should have killed him earlier.”
At first, Ling Zemin planned to kill Xing Liuxian here once he confirmed that there were no other people on the top floor. Unexpectedly, Yun Lintian’s appearance ruined everything.
Ling Zemin gazed intently at Yun Lintian and settled down in the corner of the hall, patiently awaiting Yun Lintian’s awakening.

Swoosh—
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and Xing Liuxian appeared at the entrance of the tower.
The protector of Xing Liuxian walked up immediately and said. “Welcome back, young master.”
Xing Liuxian nodded slightly and cast his spiritual sense out to check the surroundings. Immediately, he found Yu Zhilan and the others on the outskirts of the light zone.
“No wonder he was able to come here.” He muttered to himself. With the support of Yu Zhilan, Jiang Shuren, and Kong Xun, it was not surprising that Yun Lintian could proceed through the Star Graveyard safely.
“Young Master Xing. Have you seen our young master?” Ling Chao came over and asked.
Xing Liuxian replied truthfully. “He’s on the top floor… with the successor of the Beyond Heaven King.”
Ling Chao and the others were slightly surprised.
Xing Liuxian turned to look at Yan Yin and then at Lou De. “Are they here for him?”
