Chapter 315: True Spirit Art (Thanks to the [above] big boss for the ten-thousand-coin reward!)

The man in black had a smile on his face.

Facing the flower shop owner, he was very composed.

"Something you need?" Lin Chao looked up at the man in black, his gaze very calm.

"A dignified Evil God, actually opening a flower shop here to sell flowers." Mojia sat down casually. "Qi Ping... do you know? You are in great danger right now."

Qi Ping?

Hearing the words of the man in black, Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He was certainly not any Qi Ping.

He did know a Qi Jiao, though.

Could it be that the two were related?

"You have occupied the Evil God's Supreme Treasure Building, which has already attracted the attention of the Evil God.

They invited me to deal with you, but... I can give you a way out, as long as you pledge your loyalty to me and work for me."

Mojia looked at Lin Chao, his heart calm.

Qi Ping had been rooted in the Ancient War Realm for decades and must know the Ancient War Realm quite well.

Through Qi Ping, he could quickly find that legendary Supreme Treasure.

When the time came, he would leave here quickly, and upon appearing again, he would make countless immortals and gods tremble.

Mojia looked at Lin Chao, the aura of an Evil God circulating on his body.

The realm of an Upper God, even within the Evil God Alliance, was considered a powerhouse.

In his eyes, Qi Ping was just an Evil God who had entered the divine realm less than a hundred years ago and was nothing at all.

"Pledge my loyalty to you?" Lin Chao's eyes held a smile, and at the same time, a hint of curiosity.

This person had mistaken him for Qi Ping and was asking him to pledge loyalty.

This matter was definitely not that simple.

"Qi Ping, following your brother Qi Jiao, you could at most reach the realm of a Middle God in this lifetime.

However, if you pledge your loyalty to me and work for me, in the future, you might not lack the opportunity to reach the realm of an Upper God.

But... if you are unappreciative, then... I will not show any mercy!"

Giving a piece of candy while also delivering a blow—this was the most standard procedure.

"Heh." Lin Chao's eyes held a smile; he was not angry.

Just as he was thinking of sleeping, someone had come to deliver a pillow.

"Actually... I could also give you a chance to pledge your loyalty to me.

But well... never mind."

Lin Chao was researching spirits.

During this period, he had been observing the spirits of mortals.

The spirits of gods would certainly be even more powerful.

He had originally been thinking about when to leave and capture a god.

Now, he didn't even need to go; a god had delivered himself to his doorstep.

Mojia was slightly stunned, then laughed loudly: "Qi Ping, do you really think your breakthrough to the divine realm is a secret?"

Lin Chao did not speak, continuing to watch his performance.

"Do you know that I am called Mojia!" Mojia looked proud.

Within the Evil God Alliance, especially in the Nineteenth District, his fame had always been widespread.

Qi Ping was also from the Nineteenth District, so he naturally would have heard of his name, Mojia.

Mojia could already imagine the sight of Qi Ping trembling in fear after he revealed his name.

Unfortunately, the scene he had envisioned did not appear.

Lin Chao looked at the black armor, his gaze filled with greed: "A god, I hope it can bring some breakthroughs to my cultivation."

Lin Chao muttered to himself.

A subtle aura suddenly permeated from his body.

Mojia, who had been full of confidence, felt this wisp of aura, and his expression changed drastically.

Long-lost memories flooded his mind.

His body trembled incessantly.

"You... you are..."

He remembered that scene he had seen from afar in the Undead Kingdom.

A terrifying, peerless powerhouse, besieging more than ten gods all by himself.

The gods were like paper in his hands, unable to withstand a single blow.

That kind of strength far exceeded that of an Upper God.

It was even infinitely close to the Half-step Ninth Rank.

Among the God Lords, he belonged to that tiny, top-tier group.

Qi Ping... how could he be that powerhouse!

Impossible.

"You are not Qi Ping!" Mojia's expression changed completely, and after saying this, he immediately wanted to flee.

However, Lin Chao's palm landed on Mojia's shoulder, and his entire body's Divine Power was imprisoned at that moment.

At such close range, and both being god-level powerhouses.

Lin Chao did not need any special methods; he could suppress Mojia with his own strength alone.

The Divine Power throughout Mo Jia's body was sealed at that moment.

This is the gap in raw strength.

If it were a Half-step Ninth Rank powerhouse instead, at least they would not be suppressed without any ability to resist.

"When did I ever say I was Qi Ping?" Lin Chao waved his hand, and Mo Jia was now completely reduced to an Ordinary person.

As his hand moved, Qi Ping seemed to turn into a puppet.

Lin Chao took Qi Ping, closed the flower shop, and entered the basement.

"Who exactly are you?" Fear still lingered in Mo Jia's eyes, and at this moment, he was still calculating how to escape.

The powerhouse before him was definitely a God Lord-level powerhouse, and among God Lord-level powerhouses, he belonged to the very top tier.

How could a powerhouse of this level be in a world where Spiritual Qi is so thin?

This is very unscientific.

Lin Chao did not answer him, but instead placed him on the operating table.

Mo Jia's expression changed slightly: "What are you going to do?"

The actions of this mysterious powerhouse before him were too Ghost-like.

As a god, this was the first time he had been placed on an operating table like this.

"Oh... right, why did you come to find me, and even say I was Qi Ping?" Lin Chao thought of something and asked.

He had some interest in the background of the Evil God before him.

"You are really not Qi Ping?" Mo Jia's expression changed slightly, and he then told Lin Chao about the Evil God Alliance.

Of course, he naturally did not mention anything about the Central Heavenly Realm or the Supreme Treasure.

He shifted all the blame onto those people in the Building.

"If you are not Qi Ping, then it is a misunderstanding.

It was the owners of the Building who hired me to kill you.

However, after meeting you, Senior, I felt that you had an extraordinary temperament, so I had the idea of taking you as my disciple; the previous allegiance was just a test.

It was this junior who was arrogant, failing to see Senior's strength, I was arrogant."

Mo Jia spouted nonsense, immediately fabricating these things.

It was as if everything really had nothing to do with him.

Lin Chao looked at him with a calm smile on his face: "You only have ten breaths of time to consider; if you cannot give me a reason not to kill you, then..."

Looking at Lin Chao, Mo Jia's heart trembled.

This senior had Slayed so many gods in the Undead Kingdom.

Clearly, he was a person addicted to killing.

"Senior, Lang Heng of the Tianfang Alliance once asked me to take action against you."

Lin Chao still did not speak.

Mo Jia hurriedly continued: "Lang Heng is a Venerable Immortal of the Tianfang Alliance.

He seems to be very interested in a woman named Yusu.

He asked me to come to the Ancient War World, find the man Yusu cares about, and then kill him."

"Lang Heng? I have remembered this name." Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

However, the killing intent on his face did not dissipate.

Mo Jia knew that if he did not reveal some truly valuable information now, the powerhouse before him would certainly not spare his life.

"Senior... I came to find you because of the Supreme Treasure!

I obtained news from the Evil God Alliance that in the Tianfang Small Thousand World, in a desolate world without life, a powerhouse from the Central Heavenly Realm descended; that powerhouse is suspected of having left behind a Supreme Treasure in that world!

In order to obtain that Supreme Treasure, I had crooked thoughts.

I am willing to become Senior's slave and help Senior obtain that Supreme Treasure!"

The reason an Evil God is an Evil God is that they lack propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, and are also addicted to slaughter.

In order to survive, they are willing to do anything.

"Central Heavenly Realm, Supreme Treasure?" Lin Chao could not help but think of the Yuan Shi Legacy he had seen before.

However, although the Yuan Shi Legacy is strong, it is also limited in its strength.

Or rather, it can only exert its effect on special occasions.

At other times, it is almost useless.

The Evil God from the Evil God Alliance should not be looking for the Yuan Shi Legacy.

Then what is it?

"You want to subdue me because that world is very likely the Ancient War World?" Lin Chao pondered.

If so, everything makes sense.

However, Lin Chao's movements did not change at all.

"What you have said... is not enough."

His eyes pierced through Mo Jia's body, through his Divine Soul, and reached his Spirituality.

Mo Jia's body stiffened, and he wanted to speak.

But he could not say a word.

Lin Chao looked at Mo Jia's Spirituality with a curious expression.

A god's Spirituality is indeed much more powerful than that of an ordinary person.

But... it is also very limited in its strength.

For example, the quantity of an ordinary person's Spirituality is 1.

Thus, a cultivator in the True Spirit Realm has a Spirituality count of 2.

The Spirituality count of a god is 2.5.

This is very strange.

In terms of physical strength and Divine Soul strength.

The strength of a god can be said to be more than billions of times that of a mortal.

Yet Spirituality remains so scarce.

The Mo Jia on the operating table was incomparably terrified and kept wanting to speak.

He already knew exactly what this mysterious powerhouse before him intended to do.

He hated the other party to death.

With this kind of behavior, if there is the slightest carelessness, he will suffer a loss of Spirituality.

When that time comes, he will undoubtedly die.

"What do you want to say?" Lin Chao slightly eased the restriction on Mo Jia, allowing Mo Jia to speak.

"Senior. Are you researching Spirituality?" At this moment, Mo Jia had to speak.

If he let this senior research a few more times, in case some accident happened, he would undoubtedly die.

"Hmm." Lin Chao nodded, not refusing.

"Spirituality is the core of living beings, the most mysterious place.

Ever since living beings were born, countless powerhouses have researched Spirituality, but the gains have been few, or even, there have been no gains.

Spirituality has thus become a forbidden zone; almost no powerhouse is willing to research it."

Mo Jia was persuading Lin Chao to stop the research.

What he said was also the truth.

Spirituality is the essence of living beings, which many powerhouses know.

Since that is the case, there must be many living beings who come to research Spirituality.

Unfortunately, to this day, not many living beings have researched the true essence of Spirituality.

"To want to research Spirituality, one must at least reach the Ninth Tier," Mo Jia mentioned again, "Rumor has it that in some powerful Great Thousand Worlds, there are powerhouses who have made some progress in the research of Spirituality.

Small Thousand Worlds and even Intermediate Thousand Worlds do not have such progress."

Once, Mo Jia had been to an Intermediate Thousand World.

This information was something he obtained by chance.

Everything he meant now was to tell Lin Chao.

Do not research Spirituality; it is useless.

Only when one's strength reaches the Ninth Tier and one goes to a Great Thousand World is one qualified to research Spirituality.

"Is that so?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

Only by reaching the Ninth Tier is one qualified to research Spirituality.

However, if one does not research Spirituality and does not create the Small Reincarnation Method, how can one bring the Qi-Blood Martial Dao that represents oneself to the Innate stage, and how can one truly step into the Ninth Tier?

Currently, his combat power is comparable to the Ninth Tier, but his realm has not yet reached it.

Seeing Lin Chao's expression, Mo Jia hesitated for a moment: "Once, I went to an Intermediate Thousand World and obtained a technique.

That technique is named True Spirit Art, and it is a method that can cultivate Spirituality.

However, this art is extremely difficult to cultivate; it is rare to see one person succeed in cultivation in ten thousand years.

If Senior needs it, this junior is willing to offer it with both hands!"

When going to the Intermediate Thousand World, Mo Jia had once suffered a great loss.

A powerhouse had once told him that he had obtained a True Spirit Art.

This art could cultivate a cultivator's Spirituality and was extremely rare.

If one succeeded in cultivation, one's own strength could increase several-fold.

Arriving at the Intermediate Thousand World, Mo Jia was naturally incomparably excited, feeling that his luck was extremely good.

He also felt that the Intermediate Thousand World was just great, even having techniques to cultivate Spirituality.

In the end, he spent a huge sum of money to buy that technique.

As a result, it could not be cultivated at all.

He had originally thought that it was his own aptitude that was insufficient, and felt some regret.

However, after staying in the Intermediate Thousand World for a period of time, Mo Jia knew that he had been cheated.

The True Spirit Art he obtained was considered a common, worthless technique in the Intermediate Thousand World.

That technique had a long heritage, and its origin was unknown.

Almost every cultivator knew this technique.

And this technique, in reality, could not be cultivated.

Looking across countless Intermediate Thousand Worlds and Great Thousand Worlds, there was not a single person on the surface who had succeeded in cultivating it.

However, that technique appeared to have no problems whatsoever.

Even supreme powerhouses said that the technique was a correct True Spirit method.

It was just that... no one could cultivate it.

Thus, many cultivators in Intermediate Thousand Worlds and even Great Thousand Worlds loved to use this technique to cheat cultivators from Small Thousand Worlds to earn huge profits.

"Oh, let me see it." Lin Chao became interested.

What he needs right now is the Small Reincarnation Method, which is the technique for cultivating the True Spirit.

If there are indeed other techniques for cultivating the True Spirit in this world, perhaps he could use it for reference after obtaining it.

"The True, empty yet substantial; the Spirit, substantial yet empty..." Mo Jia told Lin Chao all the incantations of the True Spirit Art he had obtained.

In any case, no one could successfully cultivate this technique, so it was perfect for fooling this senior.

He did not dare to modify it at will; after all, given this senior's strength and discernment, it would be normal for him to discover any small tricks.

Upon obtaining the technique, Lin Chao's eyes became profound.

He was digesting this technique.

Once all the techniques were memorized, a glimmer of sharpness actually flashed within Lin Chao's eyes.

"This is..."

This technique was definitely the Small Reincarnation Method.

Or rather... it was a part of the Small Reincarnation Method.

Although he had never seen the true Small Reincarnation Method, he had seen Ling Xuan perform it many times.

Now that he had obtained the True Spirit Art, a simple contemplation allowed him to understand the relationship between the two.

This True Spirit Art... must have a great connection to the Small Reincarnation Method.

Or perhaps... it was derived from the Small Reincarnation Method.

Lin Chao immediately closed his eyes and began to cultivate the True Spirit Art.

Beside him, Mo Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

He hoped this technique would be able to stall this senior for several hundred or even a thousand years.

Then, he would be able to find an opportunity to escape.

Watching Lin Chao cultivate earnestly, Mo Jia could not help but think of his former self.

He looked at Lin Chao, feeling even a sense of disdain in his heart.

So powerful, yet wasn't he also being deceived?

When the time came and this senior failed his cultivation, he would tell him it was a matter of talent.

And that there were many tricks to cultivation.

When he was in the Intermediate Thousand World, he had studied this art and seen the cultivation insights of many experts.

Although they all failed, the insights were real.

Fooling this senior would be absolutely no problem.

Thanks to the big boss 【Minister】 for the ten-thousand reward, and thanks to the big boss 【Feng Cun】 for the tip, thank you very much!
