Without a profound understanding of both human and divine nature, it would be impossible to articulate such clear, imaginative, and mind-bending thoughts.

Hence, as soon as Erniu spoke, Xu Qing’s thoughts were interrupted.

At that moment, he, who had regained his human nature, was no longer as absolutely rational as before. Hence, his mind was stirred by Erniu’s astonishing words.

After all… normal people wouldn’t think like this.

No matter how one listened to the Empress’ words, they were filled with concern. She reminded them not to do anything dangerous in this chaotic world. The most important thing was She asked them to cultivate in peace.

However, when these words entered Erniu’s ears, that was clearly not the case.

Xu Qing couldn’t help but remind him.

“Senior Brother, lower your voice… The Empress might not have left.”

Erniu was shocked. He instinctively looked around and spoke loudly.

“Haha, I was just joking. That… Feng Lintao’s soul contains an inheritance, right? I’ll check now and see what kind of inheritance it is.”

As he spoke, Erniu hurriedly took out Feng Lintao’s soul and stared fiercely at it.

Feng Lintao trembled. After exchanging glances with Erniu, the trembling in his heart grew even stronger. This was especially so for someone as paranoid as him. People who were suspicious tended to have very rich imaginations.

At that moment, in his imagination, there were already countless scenes of him being interrogated about his inheritance by all kinds of vicious methods. Regardless of whether it was soul searching, soul refinement, or throwing him inside the bodies of ferocious beasts to torture…

These thoughts became a huge wave that continuously rumbled his soul sea. As a result, after Erniu glared at him, before he could speak, Feng Lintao quickly took the initiative to speak.

“Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist Erniu. I have nothing to repay you with, so I’m willing to give the inheritance away!!”

“My inheritance comes from the creator of the Liaoxuan Holy Land, the Liaoxuan Great Emperor back then!”

“This inheritance looks illusory but it’s not completely so. That’s a mark. Once one succeeds in comprehending it, it can transform into a Dao mark of authority!”

Feng Lintao explained immediately.

He didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. He recalled that ever since he came to Wanggu, every time he encountered Erniu and Xu Qing, he would be unlucky and be on the verge of death.

Hence, at this moment, his only thought was to save his life.

His straightforwardness and cooperation caused Erniu to blink and suspicion to rise in his heart. Hence, he continued to put on a savage expression. He narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on Feng Lintao’s soul again.

Feng Lintao’s soul body felt a sharp pain and he became even more anxious. He hurriedly continued to speak.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be anxious. I’m not done.”

“The opening of this inheritance requires three specific conditions. The first condition is long-term nurturing that requires a large amount of blood and souls. I’ve completed this over the years. There’s no need for you two to prepare anymore. I’ve helped you complete it.”

“The second condition is that it has to be carried out in an ice-cold state. There can’t be the slightest bit of heat in the body. I’ve also prepared this for you two. Beyond this area is the northern part of Wanggu.”

“That place is filled with icy plains. If we find an ice cave and go underground, the second condition will be fulfilled.”

“The third condition is the liaoxuan holy liquid. This is also the reason why I went to Liaoxuan County previously.”

“Therefore, I’ve helped you two fulfill this condition as well. I still have to thank you for your help back then.”

Feng Lintao looked at Erniu fawningly.

It had to be said that Feng Lintao was good at talking. He kept saying that he had helped them complete the requirements, making Erniu feel very comfortable. Moreover, he could tell Feng Lintao was telling the truth.

Hence, he coughed.

“Little Feng, don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person who likes to be ruthless. You’ve made a great contribution this time. I’ll leave some benefits for you.”

After saying that, Erniu loosened his right hand slightly, allowing Feng Lintao’s soul to feel less pain. He even gently patted Feng Lintao’s soul.

His words and actions caused Feng Lintao’s soul to tremble. He hurriedly put on an extremely touched expression…

At the same time, Xu Qing also walked toward the unconscious Yue Dong.

Xu Qing had personally experienced the immortal art mentioned by the Empress before She left. Although it was ineffective against him, this immortal art was truly bizarre.

Not only could it form an emotion puppet that could be controlled invisibly, but it could also change the seven emotions and six desires into curses.

Its lethality was clearly not small.

This immortal art was naturally extraordinary.

Hence, Xu Qing stood in front of Yue Dong at that moment. His eyes shone with rainbow light as his morning glow spread, trying to simulate this art.

However, the strangeness of the immortal art appeared at this moment.

The morning glow simulation failed!

A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He raised his right hand and touched Yue Dong’s forehead.

A long time later, Xu Qing frowned.

He didn’t sense any clues related to this immortal art in Yue Dong’s body. It was as though this immortal art didn’t exist and couldn’t be found.

As for soul searching, this was the last resort.

Xu Qing had a feeling that if the soul search also failed, this immortal art would be destroyed along with Yue Dong’s soul.

Xu Qing fell silent. He thought of the mask he had obtained from the Immortal Arts Hall that Old Master Seventh had brought him and Eldest Senior Brother to.

He wiped Yue Dong’s face with his hand.

Everything was normal.

“There’s no mask. Could it be that the Six Thieves Delusions Immortal Art is even more special?”

While Xu Qing was thinking, Yue Dong’s body trembled and her eyes suddenly opened. She woke up from her unconsciousness and stared fixedly at Xu Qing, her eyes filled with resentment.

“You’re searching for my immortal art?”

“You won’t find it, and I can’t give it to you either!”

Yue Dong laughed coldly, her resentment deep.

“You’ll give it to me.”

Xu Qing glanced at Yue Dong and calmly spoke.

“Little Shadow.”

At the next instant, the shadow under Xu Qing’s feet suddenly distorted and waves of excited emotions rose. It was as though it had waited for this day for too long and it was finally its turn to show its value.

Hence, Little Shadow worked extra hard and spread on the ground. As Yue Dong’s expression changed drastically, it enveloped her shadow.

As chewing sounds echoed, Yue Dong’s breathing became hurried and she wanted to resist. However, as soon as Xu Qing pressed down, Yue Dong was like a deflated balloon and immediately became dispirited.

Having lost all power to resist and Little Shadow devouring her shadow, she felt an immensely evil and icy force spread throughout her body, invading her consciousness and taking control.

Little Shadow had possessed her!

In the blink of an eye, Yue Dong’s hurried breathing calmed down. Her expression was fanatical as she knelt down in front of Xu Qing and spoke loudly.

“Greetings, Master.”

The resentment in her eyes was quickly replaced by horror.

When he saw this scene, Feng Lintao’s eyes widened and his heart rumbled. At the same time, he felt incredibly lucky.

For him, what had happened before him was even more terrifying than Yue Dong controlling others.

“Speak about the immortal art and her goals.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

Yue Dong’s expression became even more fanatical and she looked extremely excited. However, the fear in her eyes intensified as her words flowed out uncontrollably.

“Master, her immortal art isn’t in her soul or body but in her memories. I can’t transfer it out. Moreover, this memory was sealed by her master. If I touch it even slightly, it will disappear like smoke.”

“However, I can control its use.”

“This woman’s goal is to use the authority formed by Feng Lintao’s inheritance to imprint this immortal art. It’s like a dove occupying a magpie’s nest, fusing the immortal art with it and forming a new authority!”

“Once it succeeds, it can allow the Six Thieves Delusions to break through the restrictions of the immortal art and allow endless possibilities to appear!”

As soon as he said this, Xu Qing looked at Erniu.

Erniu chuckled and pinched the soul of Feng Lintao in his hand.

“Little Feng, your Liaoxuan’s inheritance is quite interesting. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Feng Lintao’s soul trembled and hurriedly spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Erniu, I originally was about to say it. The authority formed by my inheritance is an imprint!”

“Simply put, this is an empty shell of authority that can imprint any ability and transform it into a true authority.”

“However…”

Feng Lintao put on a hesitant expression.

“Fellow Daoist Erniu, Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, what that b*tch Yue Dong said about imprinting her immortal art into my inheritance and forming an authority can indeed succeed, but it can only form one. Once it is fused, it will become your own Dao mark and your strength will increase greatly. However, it can’t be separated.”

Feng Lintao carefully looked at Xu Qing and Erniu.

He indeed didn’t dare to have any rash thoughts, but it didn’t mean that he had really compromised. At this moment, he seized the opportunity to plant the seed of conflict.

Authority was something any cultivator yearned for, let alone an authority that contained immortal art.

However, only one could be formed, so who would it belong to?

Feng Lintao lowered his head.

Feng Lintao’s plan might have some effect on others but against Xu Qing and Erniu, it was insignificant.

At the next instant, a wail rang out from Feng Lintao’s mouth. His plan had failed.

Xu Qing didn’t care at all. He brought Yue Dong, who was controlled by Little Shadow, and headed straight north.

Erniu pinched Feng Lintao’s soul hard and spoke with a spurious smile.

“Little Feng, your qualification to enjoy some benefits is gone.”

As he spoke, Erniu flew up and caught up to Xu Qing in a few steps, heading north together.

Time flowed by. Half a month later.

When Xu Qing and Erniu left the Eastern Wanggu and stepped into the endless icy plains of the Northern Wanggu, the Empress was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the restricted area of the imperial city, which was very far away from them.

Strands of white light floated out of the Empress’ body and continued to gather in front of Her, forming the outline of a human figure.

This outline gradually became clearer and finally transformed into a person!

It was that Great Emperor’s disciple, Lu Lingzi!

Regardless of aura, karma, or fate, they were exactly the same as the real Lu Lingzi.

Lu Lingzi’s deal with the Empress not only lured out the Lan family but also included his name.

He had given away everything he had and abandoned everything to completely cut off his connection with the holy land. This way, he could safely hide in a place that an outsider couldn’t find and begin the ritual to become a god.

As for the Empress, She had taken over everything and replaced it.

At the next instant, ‘Lu Lingzi’ opened his eyes and looked up.

His gaze penetrated the restricted area and the array formation as he looked north.

After sensing Xu Qing and Erniu’s auras, he looked at the Demon Feather Holy Land.

“All variables have been removed. The Demon Feather… will change..”
