Chapter 444: Wordless Heavenly Book

Longling's steps were light yet firm, passing through the layers of mist in the ruins of the Ancient God Sect's forest, seeking the mysterious vibration, slowly approaching the source of that powerful aura.

Buzz buzz buzz.

As he continued deeper, the surrounding buzzing sound grew more frequent.

This sound gave a feeling of transcending the mundane and entering the sage realm; Longling strove to suppress his palpitations.

This eerie buzzing sound was extremely mysterious, especially its stimulation of the soul being unfathomably profound; even he felt as if he were about to ascend and shed his mortal coil, his divine soul unknowingly undergoing the process of merging with the Dao.

Longling's heart grew more wary, yet more so was his curiosity about the unknown Ancient God Sect and his desire for power.

He knew that the source of this strange sound and aura was likely related to the important divine treasury left by the Ancient God Sect, possibly even the long-sought-after mysterious supreme treasure.

In the Universe Cultivation World, danger and opportunity have always coexisted; since one seeks to cultivate against heaven, one must accept tribulation.

When heaven is about to confer a great responsibility upon a person, it must first suffer his will, tire his bones, and starve his flesh.

To exhaust his body, to act without disrupting his conduct, thus stirring the heart and enduring nature, thereby increasing what he lacks.

As Longling gradually ventured deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment began to become more mysterious and unfathomable.

His perception was extraordinarily keen, able to sense that these lights contained powerful energy fluctuations; in the ancient architectural complex, strange lights occasionally flickered, as if hiding unknown secrets.

Finally, Longling arrived before a huge cave.

The cave's entrance was covered by a thin veil of light, and that powerful aura emanated from within the cave.

He extended his hand and lightly touched the light curtain; the light curtain rippled like water, posing no obstruction to him.

Entering the cave, Longling's gaze was drawn to a stone book hovering in midair.

The stone book was simple and unadorned, with two large characters engraved on its cover—"Heavenly Book".

The vibrations emitted by this book were exactly the same as the aura outside the cave; the characters "Heavenly Book" burst forth with mysterious Dao patterns, emitting a buzzing sound, as if resonating with the Great Dao. Strangely, aside from those two characters, the stone book bore no other text, giving a feeling of profound obscurity.

"This is the source of the sound."

"I never expected it could emit such a heart-pounding vibration."

A flicker of surprise flashed in Longling's eyes as he murmured.

He knew this book was no ordinary thing; it might contain the Ancient God Sect's supreme cultivation method, or even be the secret key to reaching higher realms.

Longling extended his hand and gently touched the stone book.

At the moment his fingers touched the stone book, a vast flood of information surged into his mind, and his consciousness began to form a strange connection with the stone book.

He could feel the boundless mysterious power contained within the stone book; these profound Dao patterns offered immeasurable aid to his cultivation.

Longling took a deep breath and began to slowly absorb the information within the stone book; this was a rare opportunity that must be seized, for his strength might undergo a qualitative leap.

When Longling had finished absorbing the information from the stone book, he slowly opened his eyes, their pupils flashing with the light of wisdom.

"I really didn't expect."

"This stone book is actually part of the Ancient God Sect's supreme treasure, the Wordless Heavenly Book."

After putting away the stone book, Longling spoke.

The Wordless Heavenly Book specializes in refining the divine soul, having endless wondrous uses for the soul's transformation.

He had indeed obtained part of the Ancient God Sect's inheritance; he turned to leave the cave and hurried toward the position where Heifeng and the others were.

Longling's figure darted swiftly through the ruins, his steps firmer, his heart full of anticipation for the exchange of ancient talismans; perhaps he could trade for another portion of the Wordless Heavenly Book, allowing his soul to undergo complete transformation and carve out his own domain in this survival-of-the-fittest cultivation world.

Meanwhile, the outside world!

Heifeng, Elder Qingyun, and the Black and White Double Fiends' traps and restrictions set up around the ruins' outskirts were nearing completion.

Elder Qingyun and the Black and White Double Fiends, although feeling uneasy in their hearts,

but they also knew that only by following Longling's plan could they preserve their lives, and might even gain unexpected opportunities thereby.

"Everyone, do not forget your current status.

"Your lives no longer belong to yourselves, but to the boss."

Heifeng looked at the Black and White Double Fiends and Elder Qingyun, whose faces showed an embarrassed expression, and said.

In Longling's plan, the submission of the Black and White Double Fiends and Elder Qingyun is a crucial step; these three individuals wield considerable influence and connections in the cultivation world, and by leveraging their status and relationships, more cultivators can be drawn into the prepared trap formation here.

Although the Black and White Double Fiends and Elder Qingyun were unwilling in their hearts, faced with Heifeng's strength and threats, they had no choice but to temporarily submit.

They knew that only by acting according to Heifeng's plan would they avoid provoking Longling and thus preserve their lives.

Smack.

"It's all the fault of you two little brats.

"Because of you two bastards, I, old man, will henceforth be infamous throughout the Universe Cultivation World."

Qingyun's eyes were bloodshot, his hands trembling involuntarily.

He dared not vent his anger at Heifeng; ultimately, having nowhere to release his fury, he directly slapped the Black and White Double Fiends across the face.

Bang.

This sudden attack left the Black and White Double Fiends completely unprepared; in an instant they were flung backward, and after struggling to their feet from the ground they staggered, each half of their faces swollen and purplish from the blow.

In the eyes of the Black and White Double Fiends rose vengeful malice.

I never expected Qingyun to suddenly lash out, especially in front of Heifeng; evidently he was beating them to vent his dissatisfaction toward Heifeng.

However, seeing that Heifeng remained unmoved, it was clear they did not care at all about what had just happened.

"You've hit, you've vented plenty of anger,

"Shall we get down to business?"

Heifeng's mouth curled with a faint cold smile as he countered Qingyun.

Upon hearing that, Elder Qingyun's face showed a hint of helplessness; given the circumstances, even he could do nothing about it.

"Ah, well then.

"May my fellow Daoists perish while I survive!"

Elder Qingyun felt his face burning hot, and he sighed embarrassedly.

Pa.

He crushed the transmission jade slip in his hand, which is a way to communicate with the outside world.

The transmission jade slip contains special spiritual power; once crushed, it can transmit information to a specific person or group.

The shattered jade slip releases a signal, which will attract other cultivators they know to come.

Qingyun Elder took a deep breath, knowing that once this step was taken, there would be no turning back.

Pa.

Seeing this, the Black and White Evils strove to calm the anger in their hearts, and also successively crushed their own transmission jade slips.

Although their actions were swift, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

They were originally disciples of the ancient earth royal clan, once lofty and exalted, never expecting to encounter the two evil stars Longling and Heifeng, and actually have to send a soul-body baozi to Huanyu cultivators.

Those who disobey will become baozi filling; who dares not to obey?

Now they are to become others' pawns, this feeling makes them feel extremely stifled.

The shattering of the transmission jade slip is like pebbles tossed into a calm lake, stirring up layer upon layer of ripples.

The news spread rapidly through the Ancient God Sect's secret realm; many cultivators learned of the location of Qingyun and the Black and White Evils in the jungle, and upon hearing of a major treasure trove, they all set out to rush there.

o￠o

Heifeng supervised all this from the side.

Longling's plan needs time to ferment; what must be done now is to ensure the plan proceeds smoothly.

He coldly watched the actions of the Black and White Evils and Qingyun Elder, while in his mind he schemed how to use this opportunity to gain more benefits for himself and Longling.

But no matter how strong the cultivators that arrive are, they ultimately have not entered the Myriad Laws Realm, remaining within the scope of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

He had prepared according to Longling's guidance, relying on his own strength and wisdom plus what Longling left behind, and he was confident he could meet the challenges of the incoming cultivators.

Heifeng gazed at the mist before the jungle, gradually rolling up, his solemn eyes filled with determination.

"Haha, the plan to lure the enemy into the urn has begun."

Heifeng's face showed a hint of mockery as he murmured.

"Heifeng, Daoist friend."

★ttkΛn★c〇

As the transmission jade shatters, the news will spread like a shooting star across the night sky, quickly propagating through the ruins of the Ancient God Sect.

The cultivators who come upon hearing the news are, after all, our relatives, friends, and companions.

Please, show mercy and hold back your hand.

If possible, please, for the sake of us working for the boss, try not to harm their lives.

Qingyun said to Heifeng, his voice revealing sincerity and worry.

"Rest assured."

I and the boss are not of the murderous kind; as long as you obediently hand over the ancient talisman.

We will not make things difficult for them.

Heifeng, after hearing this, pondered for a moment, then said:

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Streams of light swept across the mist shrouding the jungle, and several cultivators appeared in the area where Heifeng and his group were.

However, when they arrived at the position marked by Qingyun and the Black and White Evils, they were stunned.

The sight before them was completely contrary to what they had expected.

The cultivators who had come upon hearing the news had thought the spot marked by Qingyun and the Black and White Evils would be a place of radiant treasure light and abundant spiritual energy, a holy land for cultivation, but instead it was a mist-shrouded place fraught with layers of restrictions.

Upon looking around at the surroundings, everyone suddenly discovered that after entering this place, their divine sense was blocked from probing outward, and many cultivators immediately sensed something was wrong.

This could be a trap.

"Black and White Evils, what do you mean by this?"

"Wang Mang believes he has not offended you, so why would he harm me?"

A middle-aged cultivator wearing a green robe, face flushed with anger, loudly questioned.

He is an old friend of the Black and White Evils, and also a cultivator of considerable prestige.

I had thought I was coming to participate in a treasure-hunting feast, but never expected to fall into a dangerous situation.

"Qingyun Elder, are you also joking?"

There is no treasure as you said here; this is clearly a trap!

"As fellow members of the same sect for a thousand years, you treat fellow sect members like this?"

Another female cultivator of high cultivation, named Ying Chunhe, flashed a hint of disappointment and anger in her eyes.

She cultivates the same sect as Elder Qingyun, and out of trust in him, she rushed here without hesitation, but never expected this outcome.

"Is it not what you imagined?"

The Black and White Evils and Elder Qingyun faced the questioning of their companions, their hearts also filled with mixed feelings.

Under the eaves, they had no choice but to lower their heads; all this is Longling's plan, and they are merely forced pawns carrying it out.

"It only costs one ancient talisman."

Black Evil stiffened his scalp, spoke up, but before his words finished, he was interrupted by a cultivator with an explosive temper.

"Just one ancient talisman?"

You speak lightly, as if you thought the ancient talisman were dirt, everywhere.

We have gone through life and death, barely reaching this place; for the treasures of the Ancient God Sect, we risked our lives entering dangerous grounds to obtain only a portion of the ancient talismans!

"You just open your mouth and demand ancient talismans, do you really think you're a dish on a platter?"

That cultivator, named Chen Gong, roared, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"We."

Bai Sha wanted to explain, but facing his companions' anger, he found his words powerless.

At that moment, Heifeng's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, calm and indifferent.

"Everyone, there really is a treasure here."

"But it requires your wisdom and courage to obtain it."

Heibai Shuang Sha and Elder Qingyun are merely guides who went ahead a step.

Heifeng's figure appeared and disappeared in the mist, his gaze sweeping over everyone, as if examining each person's strength.

"What do you mean by this?"

The green-robed middle-aged cultivator Wang Mang asked in a deep voice.

He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the newcomer, which made him dare not underestimate.

"It's very simple."

"This is a trial, and also an opportunity."

Whoever is willing to pay the price can obtain the inheritance of the Ancient God Sect.

As for the Black and White Double Sha and Elder Qingyun, they are merely the guardians of this place.

The reason the restraint exists here is to prevent other cultivators from entering.

Heifeng said lightly, and these words shocked the cultivators present.

Those cultivators who were originally furious and ready to attack suddenly became uncertain.

"Everyone, as long as you have one ancient talisman, you can enter this place and witness that mysterious object."

"You really can't bear to part with it?"

Heifeng said again.

He casually pointed, releasing streams of mysterious black radiance, and the strange restraint around was instantly triggered.

The cultivators present instantly had their eyes light up.

Because they saw that at the center of the restraint's space there was a mysterious gate; on the gate was a golden ancient character, with runes entwined upon it, as if the creation of heaven and earth, and the three thousand great Dao laws interwove together.

An exalted giant faintly appeared from the character, wielding a giant axe and fiercely splitting chaos, causing heaven and earth to be born and all spirits to be nurtured.

Heifeng watched the cultivators' shocked faces until they had already been hooked by Longling's illusory Divine Ability.

"What do you all think?"

Wang Mang said, entering this place one could see such a mysterious scene; if they retreated, it would truly be a pity.

The cultivators of the Ancient God Sect are mostly of the Heaven-Holding physique; it is said they can grasp chaos and evolve heaven and earth.

They all came for the Ancient God Sect's supreme treasure, and none are unmoved.

"One ancient talisman, feasible!"

Ying Chunhe said after pondering, if using one ancient talisman could truly exchange for part of the Ancient God Sect's inheritance, it would absolutely be worthwhile.

"One ancient talisman can be given to you."

"When we want to enter the restraint first, otherwise how would we know the truth of that secret space?"

Chen Gong's eyes flashed with brilliant light, and he said in a deep voice.

Heifeng stood aside, silently observing all this, knowing that Longling's plan had already begun to take effect.

As long as they enter the restraint, they will be firmly locked by the mysterious object within; then they can be manipulated at will, but the grand spectacle before them still needs to be more convincing.

"Hmph!!!"

"You're stupid yourself, so don't think others aren't smart."

"Let you lot fall in and obtain the things in the restraint's space, then go back on your word and not give the ancient talisman."

"Wouldn't we end up with chickens flying and eggs broken?"

Heifeng said.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators' faces instantly turned grim.

"The mysterious inheritance in the restraint is certainly real; even if you don't believe this seat,"

"could you still not believe Elder Qingyun and the Black and White Double Sha?"

"This is also out of consideration for your friendship with those three; otherwise this seat would never have let them notify you to come!"

Heifeng continued speaking, then sent a message to the Black and White Double Sha and Elder Qingyun.

"If you don't believe, then forget it."

"After Heifeng Fellow Daoist collects the secret realm's inheritance, then don't blame us for not having thought of you?"

Elder Qingyun at this moment also feigned anger in his words, but his heart was extremely resentful; being forced to play along with a knife at his throat, this feeling of helplessness truly left him with no recourse.
