All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 304: Chapter 165: Lin Yongye (2/3)

"Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?" An Jing raised an eyebrow. "Qi Refinement Primordial Spirit corresponds to Martial Arts Lingxiao... That is a ticket to the Upper Gate!"

"In the entire Dust Li domain, now only the Taiming Sect possesses the foundation of Lingxiao, and not a single one of them is alive."

"Even in Heavenly Ancestor Da Chen, there are probably only a few at the Lingxiao level."

"It’s just a possibility," Subdue Evil said, not finding it exaggerated. "Anyone who has the potential to evolve a Dao Embryo is a rare talent in this world. Since they can transform the form of the Great Dao, they have the same potential to touch the edge of the Primordial Spirit."

"As long as they can get through the Heavenly Tribulation and Human Tribulation..." At this point, he sighed deeply. "It’s mainly the Human Tribulation that matters. The Heavenly Tribulation is manageable, but the Human Tribulation is the key."

"It’s possible," An Jing also understood.

What Subdue Evil meant was, if a person has enough talent to reach Nascent Soul, then their innate gifts are also sufficient for Divinity Transformation.

However, the Human Tribulation and Heavenly Tribulation entangled by karma along the way are the main dishes on the path of the Primordial Spirit. Most people would pass out after a single taste, and only a minority of minorities can endure the whole thing and truly reach the pinnacle of the Primordial Spirit.

To put it simply, with Mingguang Dust’s talent and ambition, reaching Pure Yang is not impossible. But Lingxiao... even if he has the strength and potential, Da Chen and the other Upper Sects would definitely not agree.

Not to mention the example Mingguang Dust himself told An Jing about, the Taiyuan Demon God from the Taiyuan domain’s White Marsh Mountain, wasn’t he at the Pure Yang Summit?

When the Taiyuan Demon God was about to undergo tribulation, he was sought out by Taiming Sect’s Pure Yang and Da Chen’s Town King. He was forced into closed-door cultivation and, in the end, had no choice but to turn into the Dao and depart... This is the norm for Human Tribulation.

"With my strength, as long as I don’t meet a peak Inner Strength genius from a Great Sect like my master, I am invincible within the Inner Strength realm."

Turning his head back, An Jing continued to organize his weapon ammunition, sorting through it and pondering, "But listening to what those Martial Artists said, their martial uncles will come to trouble me... It’s probably a Martial Meridian Grandmaster."

Compared to when he was pursued by the Demon Sect in the depths of the mountains, it was going to be difficult to evade these Martial Meridian Grandmasters. Back then, the Demon Sect barely grasped his whereabouts, but this time, the opposition just needed to search outwards from the center of Kanming City.

Although he could also hide in the Tianyuan Realm for a while... it would indeed be difficult to find a way to deal with the Martial Meridian Grandmaster.

"How to deal with a Grandmaster..."

Thinking this, An Jing looked at the Stone Mirror Token in his bosom. "True Person’s Divine Skill could certainly kill one, but if there were multiple... I have to find a chance to simultaneously injure multiple."

"But how to find this opportunity is hard to say—and moreover, those Martial Meridian Grandmasters should also have Divine Skill Tokens. Even if my master is stronger, it might be difficult to have an effect."

Although the enemy had not yet arrived, An Jing was already contemplating battle tactics.

The greater the pressure, the calmer he became. "The one who ambushed Da Chen’s Military Official Grandmaster shouldn’t be from the Zuohuan Huangyang Sects. The Five Sects of Dust Li don’t mind assassinating officials on the fringes of Da Chen, but such an open ambush would be a provocation, and they aren’t that foolish."

"Unless... their intention is precisely to provoke, and they believe they have a way out."

Mirror, mirror... At this moment, An Jing suddenly remembered the Water Mirror left by Granny Huai.

He thought of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect and the Purple Gold Twin Maces he used to eliminate those Sect Martial Artists.

An Jing’s brows furrowed immediately. "Could it be the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect?"

Without any hesitation, An Jing immediately took out the Water Mirror Granny Huai had left.

As Granny Huai herself had said, after her death, this Water Mirror would become useless, obviously an Artifact bound to her Fate Pattern and soul. An Jing had kept it as a memento.

But at this moment, the Water Mirror flashed with light, just like the Stone Mirror Token in An Jing’s bosom, shimmering with a pale blue and silver halo.

"Huh... Interesting."

Seeing this scene, An Jing could not help but realize that the person behind this Water Mirror was already aware of his current situation, and was even waiting behind the scenes for him to pick it up.

And moreover... An Jing could almost ascertain that the person behind this Water Mirror was an old acquaintance.

An Jing picked up the Water Mirror and activated it.

The surface of the Water Mirror rippled, runes circulated, and finally, it formed a blurry image of a white-haired female figure.

Ha. As soon as An Jing saw it, he knew who it was.

Other than the Northern Patrol Envoy of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, Lin Yongye, who else could it be?

"Northern Patrol Envoy."

An Jing directly pointed out the other’s identity: "It really is you."

"It seems you recognize me. Did your master introduce me?"

The virtual shadow of the Northern Patrol Envoy seemed somewhat surprised, and she chuckled lightly: "I really didn’t expect True Master Mysterious Mirror to remember me too."

"So, how is the Purple Glowing Mace serving you?"

——The tone of this remark doesn’t sound right.

Although An Jing in his past and present life hadn’t spent much time with women, he had a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge in his mind! The Northern Patrol Envoy’s tone sounded quite surprised, which was indeed very strange no matter how he thought about it.

But upon careful consideration... Mingguang Dust seemed to indeed be from the same era as the Northern Patrol Envoy? Seeing the two of them fighting around Hanging Fate Manor, it became somewhat apparent that they were definitely well-informed old adversaries!

However, An Jing shook his head, dismissing these unfounded speculations, and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense."

"You’re the ones who surrounded and killed Da Chen’s military official, the reason why Kanming City lacks martial artists with Granting Talismans?"

"Wrong," An Jing did not expect the Northern Patrol Envoy to shake her head: "Our person was the one who got killed."

"Hmm?" An Jing’s eyebrows knitted tightly, puzzled, "Your people?"

Although he said he was puzzled, An Jing had completely understood, realizing in his heart... So that’s how it is, Shu Zheng was a person from the Demon Sect, so why couldn’t the grandmaster sent from Tianyou City also be someone from the Demon Sect?

Instead, precisely because Shu Zheng was dead, the Demon Sect needed to continue sending their own people to take control of Kanming City!

The reason why the two sects ambushed Da Chen’s officials was based on this point—they probably already knew of the official’s identity within the Demon Sect. Even if Da Chen called for accountability, everything could be pushed onto the Demon Sect!

With an approach suitable for both attack and defense, a perfect probe!

And Kanming City, was the target of this probe!

"Stop pretending," seeing through this, the Northern Patrol Envoy said lazily: "Granny Huai must have told you everything already, she has the personality of a kind-hearted old woman, there’s no way you wouldn’t know Shu Zheng was one of ours."

"Originally, my plan was to send you a weapon, then dispatch a rather mild-tempered grandmaster to communicate with you, to provide you with some resources, and if possible, to grant you some martial skills, to establish a connection with you. If we could get along well, then all the better,"

"In this way, if not as allies in the future, at the very least we could maintain communication, having a channel of discussion would be good... Wasn’t your master the same back in the day? We are all of the human race; when it’s critical, being able to communicate and confront the Heavenly Demons together is good."

"But the person had barely left when they were killed, which I too found quite surprising. There was nothing I could do, except hope that you were insightful and not too concerned with factional viewpoints, capable of coming to us to inquire about the situation."

"Hah, I don’t have any factional divides; those who should die, I kill."

And An Jing scoffed coldly, "And listening to your tone, how old exactly are you, old crone, that even Granny Huai could be called ’little Huai’ by you?"

"Useless," the Northern Patrol Envoy’s tone still carried a lazy charm: "Only mortal women who are prone to decay and aging will be angered over age. You can’t stir my true thoughts... Besides, little Huai could have lived a long life too if she wished; she simply didn’t want to."

"She’s afraid you’d devour her, isn’t she?" An Jing was unrelentingly harsh, yet the Northern Patrol Envoy remained unangered: "Little Huai was willing to give her Fate Pattern to me long ago, but we are not deeply fated, and our patterns do not match—moreover, don’t use the word ’eat,’ I’m not the Western Patrol Envoy; I don’t eat people, I only fulfill the contract."

"It’s all the same thing."

"Your temper, it’s somewhat like your master’s was back then..."

At this point in the conversation, the Northern Patrol Envoy became serious: "Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. The current situation is quite simple. Your master has been caught by several old enemies seizing the opportunity; among them are people from our Divine Sect, but they are not with me."

"Right now his situation is quite dangerous. If you want to help him, you could consider joining hands with us..."

"No thanks."

A voice arose from behind An Jing.
