Ling Xiao asked, "What's good for me?"
The Demon Emperor replied, "Although it's a tomb, this is the foundation of this sect. Only those who have reached the Earth Sovereign Realm can be buried here, and they will leave behind their comprehensions before they die, which is also the corresponding inheritance ground. It's probably prepared for their descendants and disciples. As long as the disciple of Tenbin is powerful enough, they can enter and rely on their own luck to obtain the inheritance of their seniors, continuing the sect's flourishing lineage. There's no lack of Honorable inheritances in this tomb, so it seems like this sect already has a fifth-grade foundation. I didn't expect such a sect to exist in a desolate place like the northwest. It's really shocking."
"The tomb is the inheritance ground?" Ling Xiao exclaimed in shock.
"That's right. If master can go inside and obtain the inheritance of the Honorable realm, you'll definitely reach the Honorable realm in less than a decade. At that time, you can leave this place," the Demon Emperor replied.
"Honorable realm?"
Ling Xiao muttered with his hands behind his back as he looked at the gloomy mountain range. His eyes shone with a dazzling light as he said, "You're my servant, and you've already reached the peak of the Emperor Realm. In the future, I'll break through the Emperor Realm and become a Saint. If that's enough to make you submit completely, how can a mere Honorable realm be my goal?"
Ling Xiao clenched his fists tightly as he spoke, and a noble golden aura emanated from his body.
In this world, the strongest wasn't the Honorable realm, but the Emperor Realm, the Saint Realm, and the God Realm.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had a stubborn temper, and he wouldn't give up until he reached his goal.
He had already set his goal to the highest point, so how could he give up his pursuit for the benefits in front of him?
After all, once a martial artist obtained an inheritance, they would have to cultivate according to what they obtained. Once they reached the level of an inheritance, it would be extremely difficult to continue breaking through.
Although an inheritance was precious, it had its advantages and disadvantages. This was also one of the reasons why Ling Xiao chose to give up.
Moreover, he felt that he should be able to walk a path that belonged to him to the peak.
The Demon Emperor instantly dove into the Blood Devouring Demon Blade and thought to himself, How heroic was I back then? How can a brat like you surpass me?
"By the way, other than the inheritance, what else did you discover?" Ling Xiao asked indifferently as he retracted his aura.
"There should still be some good stuff, but this place is covered with restrictions. Master, your physical body won't be able to enter," replied the demon emperor.
"Yes, even if I know that there are precious treasures here, I still can't take them out. In the future, when I reach the Supreme-Being rank, what use would the things inside be to me?
No, I must think of a way to break this restriction. "Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and sighed.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged for a while, thinking about how to break the restrictions here.
After a while, Ling Xiao jumped up and exclaimed, "Can't you just let the Purple Drake take me in?"
Ling Xiao felt that this idea should work. If they couldn't enter from the surface, they should be able to enter from underground, right?
Just as Ling Xiao was about to call for the Purple Drake, the Demon Emperor said, "A restriction placed by a Supreme-Being isn't that simple. I'm afraid that even the little drake won't be able to burrow into the ground, unless its strength reaches the sixth stage."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao felt a wave of depression!
If even the Purple Drake couldn't do anything, then what other way would he be able to enter the tomb and enter the secret realm?
Was he really going to be trapped here for the rest of his life?
Ling Xiao thought of using the Obsidian Cauldron to break the restriction, but his own strength was limited and he couldn't use the cauldron's full power. After a few attempts, he suffered a backlash and wasn't able to truly break the restriction.
"Forget it, I'll just cultivate and break through to the Monarch rank first," Ling Xiao said with some disappointment.
Another half a month passed, and Ling Xiao calmly cultivated in front of the tomb.
With the three spirit items gathering spiritual qi in his sea of knowledge, he didn't have to worry about a lack of spiritual qi.
After half a month, Ling Xiao had completely reached the peak of the Spirit Master realm. If he wanted to, he could enter the half-step Monarch rank at any time.
However, he didn't have the time to advance step by step. He had to break through from the Spirit Master realm to the Monarch rank.
During this period of time, besides cultivating, Ling Xiao was comprehending the two words "tomb", and he was becoming more and more proficient in using spiritual qi.
On this day, he raised his condition to its peak and prepared to break through to the Monarch rank in one go.
Ling Xiao's spiritual qi had long since been filled to the brim, and his dantian had become solid. There was even a faint layer of light around it, like a protective barrier that protected his dantian from damage.
As for his meridians, acupuncture points, organs … all of his physiological functions had become like they were cast in gold, and they seemed to be full of vitality, powerful and dazzling.
A few different colored spiritual qi roared ceaselessly in his meridians, like the waves of the ocean. Again and again, they battered and cleansed the muscles of his entire body. His meridians grew stronger, and his acupuncture points shone brighter …
All of the spiritual qi gathered in his dantian, and his dantian doubled in size. It was almost the size of half a fist, and the spiritual qi was like a swimming dragon that constantly flashed in the surroundings.
With Ling Xiao as the center, the spiritual qi in the surroundings swarmed toward Ling Xiao's tianling acupoint like swallows returning to their nest.
The spiritual qi whistled like a huge wind, and it formed a huge whirlpool above Ling Xiao's head. It was extremely shocking!
If those experts above the Monarch rank were to see this situation, they would probably think that Ling Xiao wasn't breaking through to the Monarch rank, but the Earth Monarch rank.
Otherwise, how could it be possible for him to need so much spiritual qi?
"Good heavens, this little brat is actually absorbing five different types of spiritual energy at the same time. How … how is this possible?" The demon emperor in Ling Xiao's sea of knowledge exclaimed in shock. Then he said, "What a pity. Cultivating all five elements at the same time is destined to take a long time. Every time he advances, he must have all five elements at the same time. It seems like his future achievements will be limited!"
The three Exotic Creatures in Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea knew that Ling Xiao was in a critical period, so they didn't share the spiritual qi that had gathered. Instead, they allowed the spiritual qi to enter Ling Xiao's head, then converged into his baihui, and finally entered his dantian.
As more and more spiritual qi entered his dantian, Ling Xiao's momentum rose steadily.
At the place where he sat, the dust and gravel around him flew into the air.
This state lasted for a whole day and night, and it still hadn't ended.
Ling Xiao was secretly anxious. "The energy is still far from enough!"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but guard his mind and take out three rhombus-shaped crystals from his Space Ring.
These three crystals were crimson in color, sparkling and translucent, and exuded a strong fire-attribute spiritual energy.
These were the top-grade Fire Mysterious Crystals Ling Xiao had obtained from the belly of the volcano in Flame Valley.
Each Fire Mysterious Crystal contained powerful spiritual energy, and when the three Fire Mysterious Crystals were placed together, it wasn't much different from the amount of spiritual energy he had absorbed.
Ling Xiao clasped his palms together and scattered the three Fire Mysterious Crystals, instantly absorbing the powerful fire-attribute spiritual energy into his body.
When Ling Xiao absorbed the spiritual energy from the three top-grade Fire Mysterious Crystals, coupled with the spiritual energy from the outside world, his entire body swelled up.
For a time, he changed from a sturdy and slender young man to a bloated man.
However, Ling Xiao didn't panic because of this, and instead secretly rejoiced. "What pure fire-attribute energy!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao's body went from fat to thin, and his aura became more and more terrifying.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's whole body bounced up from the ground, and he grabbed at the void with both hands. Two strands of spiritual energy were drawn over by him, and his hands blasted in one direction.
The flames surged, and the power was overwhelming!
Rumble!
A boulder weighing several thousand kilograms in that direction was blasted into powder by the two fiery palms.
"Haha!
I can finally fly! "Ling Xiao floated in the air and laughed heartily.
After so long, he had finally stepped into the King Rank and achieved the King Rank.
Now, this feeling of joy was revealed on his face, which was laughing wildly.
The King Rank was the stepping stone for any martial artist.
If one couldn't achieve the King Rank, they could only be an ordinary martial artist for life, and after a hundred years, they could only return to the earth.
After breaking through to the King Rank, one could be considered a carp leaping over the dragon's gate and embarking on the path of cultivation. Their lifespan would increase to two hundred to three hundred years, and if they could cultivate to the high-rank King Rank, they would have at least five hundred years of lifespan.
However, everyone pursued an endless lifespan, and at the same time, they pursued the extreme of martial arts.
It had only been three months since Ling Xiao became a high-rank Spirit Master in the sect's Spirit Gathering Pagoda. This kind of breakthrough speed could be called monstrous.
Of course, if he hadn't drunk the Ten Thousand Year Stone Milk, he wouldn't have reached the peak of the Spirit Master realm so quickly. Moreover, he had begun to comprehend the circulation of spiritual energy when he was a mid-rank Spirit Master, and in this half a month, he had also meditated on the restrictions left behind by the Sky Sovereign Rank, so his control of spiritual energy wasn't much inferior to that of an ordinary King Rank.
Therefore, this breakthrough could be said to be a matter of course.
Previously, the Demon Emperor felt that Ling Xiao cultivated five attributes, and that he needed to comprehend all five attributes to perfection in order to have any success. His future path of cultivation would definitely be even more difficult.
However, he didn't know that Ling Xiao's five attributes were metal, wood, fire, ice, and wind. The metal attribute was his innate attribute, and the wood attribute was something he had only obtained through Weng Lu's influence. As for the fire, ice, and wind attributes, they were all formed from cultivating the Three Returns to Origin Energy.
When Ling Xiao used the Three Returns to Origin Energy to break through to the King Rank, the first to benefit would definitely be the fire, ice, and wind attributes. The metal attribute was an innate attribute that Ling Xiao was born with, and when the other three attributes advanced, they would naturally affect his own attribute. At that time, it would be relatively easy for him to sense the circulation of spiritual energy and use the same principle to break through. As for the wood attribute, he didn't need to pay any attention to it. Although he didn't know who Weng Lu was, as long as Ling Xiao's strength could increase, his comprehension of the wood attribute would definitely not be inferior to the other four attributes.
It could be said that once Ling Xiao broke through, his five attributes would follow suit. There would definitely not be a situation where one or two attributes couldn't keep up.
Unless his innate metal attribute broke through first, then the other three attributes of fire, ice, and wind wouldn't be able to keep up.
Of course, that was impossible. Ling Xiao was a cultivator of fire, ice, and wind, these were the three elements of Xuan arts.
Ling Xiao flew around in the air with joy. He felt the surging Spiritual Energy in his body and the clear Spiritual Energy flowing around him. He felt as if his entire body had risen to a higher level. Everything he saw and sensed had become incomparably fresh and natural. He felt as if he had been separated from this world and had become a part of nature.
As soon as Ling Xiao broke through to the King Rank, he was like a dragon that had entered the sea, overturning rivers and seas as he soared through the universe.
