Ji Beixin looked at Dongfang Jing and said, "Sister Dongfang, to be honest, you are very beautiful, but I still have a few sisters who are not as beautiful as you. It is indeed impossible for you to become big, because this position has already been reserved. Even if you really like to laugh, you can only be a concubine like me in the future."
Ji Beixin seemed to have let go of the knot in her heart, and actually spoke to Dongfang Jing with a playful tone.
Feng Yaxin, who was at the side, was so angry that she couldn't speak.
In the past three years, she and Ji Beixin had been as close as sisters, and she knew about Ling Xiao's affairs. However, she didn't expect Ji Beixin to say that she was just a concubine. This really made her speechless.
She couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that when you love someone to the extreme, you don't care about anything else?"
Gu Jiaojiao, who had been paying attention to the situation at the side, also had an unnatural expression on her face. Her thoughts towards Ling Xiao had also been completely destroyed.
Ling Xiao was so outstanding that even the young miss of an ancient family was willing to be a concubine or take the initiative to pursue him. Furthermore, she was inferior to him in all aspects, so she felt a little inferior in her heart.
Therefore, she also cut off that little bit of affection for Ling Xiao.
"Is that so?
Perhaps you all have a very high position in his heart, but I, Dongfang Jing, am confident that one day, he will admit that I am big. "Dongfang Jing lightly opened her red lips and replied indifferently. Then, her gaze landed on Ling Xiao and she said," Ling Xiao, remember our agreement! "
After saying that, she turned around and left.
The people of the Dongfang family immediately followed. Only Dongfang Xiong came in front of Ling Xiao. He was half a head taller than Ling Xiao, and had a condescending aura.
He looked down at Ling Xiao and laughed maniacally, "Good brat, my cousin's standards have always been very high. It is your good fortune that she has taken a liking to you. She has never changed her mind, so don't ever let her down. Otherwise … you will be very miserable!"
After saying that, he patted Ling Xiao's shoulder a few times and chased after Dongfang Jing.
Ling Xiao touched the pain in his shoulder and cursed inwardly, "This big guy is really strong!"
…
The one-year deadline was almost up. Ling Xiao, Ye Yunfeng, Gu Jiaojiao, and the rest of the Feng Clan decided to stay put and wait for the space to open again.
Taking advantage of the time, Ling Xiao wanted to spend some time with Ji Beixin.
However, Ling Xiao didn't know what was wrong with Feng Yaxin. She was always with Ji Beixin, which made Ling Xiao very depressed.
However, in these two days, he had become friends with Feng Wuying. The two of them seemed to be on the same wavelength.
Ye Yunfeng and Gu Jiaojiao seemed to be much closer than before.
In these two days, although Ling Xiao did not meditate in peace, the Ancient Emperor's Divine Arts and the Supreme Origin Qi were constantly healing his injuries, and now, he had once again returned to his peak state.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A series of powerful energy explosions sounded in the sky, and a visible crack gradually appeared in front of them.
At this moment, all the Earthly Kings in the Abyss of War flew towards the crack.
Just as Ling Xiao and the rest were about to leave, a green light quietly appeared behind Ling Xiao and followed them out of the Abyss of War.
Outside the space of the Abyss of War, more than ten old men who were half Emperor rank and above were already waiting for them.
In less than half a day, more than four hundred Earthly Kings who survived appeared.
The only old man who had reached the Emperor rank glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone will go to the ruined city to inspect your harvest and decide the ranking!"
No one had any objections, and all of them flew towards the nearby ruined city at the same time.
At this time, Ling Xiao couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Old man, why did you come back?"
An old voice sounded in Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness, "Young friend, your resentment is not small. Could it be that you don't want to see this old man?"
It turned out that when they left, the green light was Lu Weng. At this moment, it didn't force its way into Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness. Instead, it was attached to Ling Xiao's clothes, and no one else could sense its existence.
"That's right, this young master doesn't have the time to nurture an old thing like you. You should leave," Ling Xiao replied directly.
Lu Weng fell silent for a moment, "You know?"
"Of course I know, but you don't owe me anything. You've already gained a lot, so I think you should find a primitive mountain range and live there. If others find out about your existence, I'm afraid I'll have to die with you!" Ling Xiao replied.
Ling Xiao had absorbed the remnant souls of the Warlord and many half Emperor rank souls, and he had learned many secrets from their memories.
He had also finally found out about Lu Weng's true origins. It was a Variant Tree of Heaven and Earth, called the Undying Tree!
Everything from the Immortal Tree was an extremely rare top quality elixir. The Ten Thousand Year Tree Sap, Ten Thousand Year Tree Fruit, and Ten Thousand Year Tree Root were only a small part of its essence. However, it had the effect of bringing people back from the dead, as well as improving their physique. For a martial artist with the wood attribute, it could greatly increase the purity of their attribute.
Ling Xiao's one hundred percent purity of the Wood attribute had been formed when Lu Weng had placed it in his sea of consciousness.
The true essence of the Undying Tree lay in its Undying Heart!
This Undying Heart was the essence of the Undying Tree. No matter who it was, it was a rare treasure that could only be found once every ten thousand years.
With it, anyone whose soul had yet to scatter could be revived, and it could even restore one's youth. Its constitution and vitality had the effect of immortality. Unless the head and heart were completely severed, it could regrow limbs without fear of injury. In addition, it could help any peak Wood Attribute Emperor rank cultivator step into the Saint realm, or even allow a peak Saint to enter the Holy Emperor realm.
In terms of the grade of spirit herbs, it was already a peak Ninth Tier Holy Tree!
Lu Weng was the Tree Spirit of the Undying Tree, and at the same time, it also had the Undying Heart. It was just that it could transform into a Tree Spirit!
From the inherited memories, Ling Xiao knew that this kind of Holy Tree could only exist in an Immortal Land with extremely dense Spiritual Qi.
When Lu Weng had appeared in the Illusion Valley, it had probably been injured. Otherwise, how could it have been affected by a mere second stage Illusory Demon?
Later on, it had rejuvenated the barren Illusion Valley with all its vitality. To it, it hadn't used up much energy, but it had been too lazy to deal with Ling Xiao, and wanted to reside in Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea to recover its energy essence.
Through all these things, Ling Xiao already understood that Lu Weng definitely had some unspeakable secret.
Ling Xiao also knew that leaving Lu Weng in his Knowledge Sea was definitely more beneficial than harmful. However, Ling Xiao didn't want to feel like he was being used by others. Ling Xiao absolutely couldn't allow such an uneasy factor to exist.
If he had the ability to capture Lu Weng and extract its Undying Heart, then Luo Meiying would be able to come back from the dead. However, Lu Weng was a ninth stage Tree Spirit. Even if it couldn't display its full strength, it wasn't something he could provoke right now. Moreover, Lu Weng had helped him quite a bit over the years, so he couldn't bear to make a move against Lu Weng.
That was why he had opened his mouth to drive Lu Weng away. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
Lu Weng heavily sighed. "Little friend, although I've been recovering in your Knowledge Sea, this old man has never treated you unfairly. Why must you be so heartless?"
"I'm heartless?
If it weren't for the fact that your strength isn't bad, this young master would have already taken your Undying Heart, "said Ling Xiao in a very displeased manner.
"Is there no room for negotiation?"
Lu Weng truly didn't want to leave Ling Xiao's Knowledge Sea. That pure spiritual fluid was the best medicine to purify his Profound Qi. Back then, he had chosen Ling Xiao because of Ling Xiao's enormous Knowledge Sea. At the time, Ling Xiao's strength was extremely weak, and he hadn't been able to harm him.
Originally, he wanted to wait until his Profound Qi recovered before leaving. However, he had encountered the Blood Devil Spirit Tree, a tree spirit on the same level as him. Although the Blood Devil Spirit Tree was an evil tree spirit, as long as Lu Weng could absorb its essence, it would definitely be able to recover to its peak. It might even be able to evolve further.
Unfortunately, the Blood Devil Spirit Tree had still managed to escape in the end.
Thus, before leaving, he had no choice but to return to find Ling Xiao. However, he had sensed the existence of the Blood Devil Spirit Tree.
Now that a human expert was present, he didn't act rashly.
A cunning light flashed through Ling Xiao's eyes as he said, "There's naturally room for negotiation, but I know that you won't agree. Thus, I think you should find someone else to nourish you!"
"Little friend, tell me. As long as this old man can do it, I will definitely do my best to help you!" said Lu Weng.
After leaving Ling Xiao, it would be extremely difficult to find another person with a Knowledge Sea as vast and pure as Ling Xiao's. Moreover, Ling Xiao's opportunities were plentiful. If he followed him, he might even be able to step into that legendary realm and become an immortal existence.
Thus, he had no choice but to compromise with Ling Xiao.
"My requirements aren't high, just half an Undying Heart will do!" Ling Xiao said without even thinking about it.
For the past few years, he had been bitterly searching for a method to revive Luo Meiying. Only now did he know that Lu Weng's Undying Heart had the effect of reviving the dead. Wasn't this the peerless life-saving treasure that he had been searching for?
Just half an Undying Heart was enough to take Lu Weng's old life. This old man definitely wouldn't be willing.
Sure enough, Lu Weng flew into a rage and shouted, "Little friend, you're trying to take this old man's life!"
"Half an Undying Heart won't be able to take your life. At worst, I'll let you stay in my Knowledge Sea for a thousand years, and I'll also store some wood-attribute spirit herbs for you to absorb. I'm sure that you'll be able to recover one day," Ling Xiao said with absolute certainty.
Lu Weng sank into silence for a long time. It was likely that he was calculating the pros and cons of this matter.
Ling Xiao wasn't in a hurry. He had already returned to the ruined city along with everyone else.
The Emperor level expert indifferently said, "Now, we'll check the number of Emperor Pills in your hands. The one with the highest number will be bestowed the title of First Emperor, the top ten will be bestowed the title of Slaughter Emperor, and the top hundred will be bestowed the title of Battle Emperor. You can exchange your Emperor Pills with us for things you need, or we can use Profound Crystals to purchase them. Of course, you can also leave your Emperor Pills behind. We won't force you."
