In a certain special space, Lin Xuan looked at the figure that had disappeared, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Encountering the Plane of Origin here was something Lin Xuan had never expected, but thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. He had now entered the realm of the Supreme Force, so he was naturally qualified to come into contact with the Plane of Origin, and even had the opportunity to control it.
Moreover, the Plane of Origin didn't seem to reject him, but Lin Xuan ultimately chose to refuse.
Because as soon as the Plane of Origin entered his body, it began to devour the eight inherited bloodlines within him, wanting to absorb the power of the origin imprinted in those bloodlines.
But in fact, the origin of the Plane of Origin is complete; it does not lack the origin of heaven and earth. The power of origin in these eight bloodline inheritances is better described as the power of heaven and earth comprehended by the Four Sacred Beasts and Four Fiend Beasts themselves, rather than their bloodline power.
Truth be told, after the Primordial Era, the power of the Four Sacred Beasts and Four Fiend Beasts had already been reclaimed by heaven and earth, so heaven and earth are complete.
And that Plane crack was simply because the Four Sacred Beasts and Four Fiend Beasts were too fierce, forcibly shattering a piece and using their own origin to suppress it, allowing it to carry all the divine beast inheritances.
The Four Sacred Beasts and Four Fiend Beasts and their innate power of origin are like the Ancient Eight Rulers and the Eight Great Ancestor Symbols, except that they truly reached the realm of the Ancestor Symbols.
In any case, the Four Sacred Beasts and Four Fiend Beasts had imparted knowledge to Lin Xuan, so Lin Xuan would naturally not allow their inheritance to be cut off, using their inheritance to gain the Plane of Origin's approval.
This was Lin Xuan's inner conviction, this was the Sword Dao in his heart!
Besides this, there were other reasons why Lin Xuan didn't choose the Plane of Origin. One was that he had enough confidence in the Sword Dao he upheld, and the other was that he felt that the person who was guiding the Plane of Origin to find him in the dark was not him, but Ling Qingzhu, or perhaps Ying Huanhuan.
Of course, this wasn't to say that Lin Xuan felt the Plane of Origin was deceiving him; on the contrary, Lin Xuan felt that what the Plane of Origin said was definitely what it thought in its heart.
This kind of guidance in the dark was like a divination, each person has their own interpretation, but Lin Xuan didn't agree with the Plane of Origin's interpretation.
Especially what the Plane of Origin said, that his body was filled with the aura of Death and Destruction.
Lin Xuan himself could also sense it, especially that he could vaguely feel that he seemed to be constantly absorbing the tribulation qi between heaven and earth. His appearance seemed to herald the arrival of destruction and death.
In comparison, whether it was Ying Huanhuan or Ling Qingzhu, although the tribulation qi on their bodies was equally strong, beneath the tribulation qi, they both contained the hope of new life.
While Lin Xuan was pondering, the space around his body also began to fluctuate silently. Immediately afterwards, the figures of Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu appeared not far away.
The moment she saw Lin Xuan's figure, Ying Huanhuan was first a little excited, but the next moment, she noticed the injuries on Lin Xuan's body. Just as she was about to speak, she was directly stopped by Ling Qingzhu.
"He's a bit off, wait a moment!"
Compared to Ying Huanhuan's concern causing chaos, Ling Qingzhu was more sober. Although she also felt a flash of worry in her heart when she saw the injury on Lin Xuan's chest, she still tried her best to remain calm.
Having been pulled back, Ying Huanhuan gently exhaled. At least, it was good that Lin Xuan was fine. Immediately afterwards, Ying Huanhuan also began to observe her surroundings.
The next moment, Ying Huanhuan reached out and tugged at Ling Qingzhu, signaling her to look over. All she saw was that this place seemed somewhat familiar, but also somewhat different.
In fact, what Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu didn't know was that the many scenes they encountered later were actually illusions derived from this place, which was why they felt a sense of familiarity everywhere.
Suddenly, Ling Qingzhu's eyes narrowed, her gaze falling on a not-so-large stone not far away. On it, two words were clearly visible—Supreme.
"This place is the origin of the Supreme Induction Sutra!"
Lin Xuan had already arrived beside Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan at some point, and said softly. Back then, the Symbol Ancestor had accidentally obtained the cultivation method of the Supreme Induction Sutra in this place.
"However, this time it's not the inheritance place of your Taiqing Palace. Before us, there were only two people who truly came to this place!"
"Two people?"
Ling Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. The Symbol Ancestor was one, so who would the other be? It seemed that she had never heard of anyone outside the Symbol Ancestor's lineage who knew the Supreme Induction Sutra.
Ying Huanhuan's eyes flickered slightly. After looking at Lin Xuan's expression, she softly guessed.
"Another one, could it be the Otherworldly Demon Emperor?"
"Indeed, in fact, the Otherworldly Demon Emperor was the first to discover this place. The Symbol Ancestor only tracked into this place later because he sensed the aura of Otherworldly Demonic Qi."
Lin Xuan explained softly, causing Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan's expressions to turn solemn, especially Ying Huanhuan. She knew many ancient secrets. If the Otherworldly Demon Emperor also knew the cultivation method of the Supreme Induction Sutra, that would not be a good thing.
"If the Otherworldly Demon Emperor knows the cultivation method of the Supreme Induction Sutra, it's not good for us. I'm afraid the Otherworldly Demon Emperor hid many tricks back then, waiting for a comeback!"
Since Lin Xuan already knew, Ying Huanhuan didn't need to pretend she didn't know. She could completely act as Lin Xuan's strategist, giving him some key guidance.
Lin Xuan didn't speak upon hearing this, only shook his head slightly. He didn't think an Otherworldly Demon Emperor would be that much of a threat. This wasn't arrogance, but having enough self-awareness.
Although the current Lin Xuan wasn't the Otherworldly Demon Emperor's opponent, as long as he could reach the Reincarnation Realm before the other party broke the seal, he would be confident, not daring to say he could defeat the Otherworldly Demon Emperor, but at least be able to remain undefeated.
Compared to the Otherworldly Demon Emperor, Lin Xuan was more worried about himself. The aura of destruction and death on his body seemed to hold some secrets.
Even Lin Xuan began to doubt the system from the beginning. Although the system brought him to this world, and although the system, apart from giving him a special physique and helping him find some opponents at the beginning of his cultivation, hadn't done anything...
No!
Lin Xuan suddenly realized something. If he remembered correctly, his special physique existed when he came to this world. Although the system said it gave it to him, was that really the case?
Lin Xuan still remembered the memories of his previous life. Although he hadn't paid much attention to it, he had seen many so-called 'systems'. Those systems had many functions, such as 'signing in to become a god', 'breathing to become a god'. In short, one could easily obtain many rewards.
But the rewards Lin Xuan obtained from the system, tentatively considered given by the system, were just an Innate Sword Physique, a sword, and those special 'sparring partners'. Apart from that, all other cultivation levels were achieved by Lin Xuan himself.
Even the initial Sword Heart Enlightenment was also comprehended by Lin Xuan himself. The biggest relationship with the system was only that the system found him some 'sparring partners'.
Undeniably, the system provided some help, but Lin Xuan's own cultivation was the most important.
Secretly shaking his head, Lin Xuan temporarily suppressed these thoughts, looked up at Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan, sensed the faint connection between the two, and said softly.
"Congratulations, your cultivation in the Supreme Force has far surpassed mine."
Ying Huanhuan was indeed a bit lacking in individual comprehension, Ling Qingzhu was still very good, but Lin Xuan could sense that the Supreme Force in the two's bodies, barring accidents, could be combined. In other words, they had truly embarked on the path of controlling the heavens and earth.
In fact, Lin Xuan's previous cultivation was somewhat similar to Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan's cultivation in some ways.
However, one exchange was relatively superficial, only on the surface, while the other was very deep, with body and spirit merging, so they could achieve that kind of complementary cultivation state.
After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan subconsciously looked at each other. After their eyes met, they turned their heads away in unison.
"Now that my injuries have healed, I wonder, when does Senior Brother plan to set off?"
Ling Qingzhu took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere. For some reason, every time she looked at Lin Xuan, she felt her soul trembling.
"The Palace Master is currently in seclusion and should not be disturbed. In that case, let's rest for a day and set off tomorrow."
Lin Xuan responded softly. The injuries on his body weren't serious. It was just that he stabbed himself with a sword. Although the position he stabbed was the chest, near the heart, it only pierced in without any other harm.
Ying Huanhuan didn't object upon hearing this, nodded lightly, and said with a charming smile, while also glancing at Ling Qingzhu.
"Let's go up first. Senior Sister Ling needs to rest well for a day. Lin Xuan, your injuries also need to be treated so they can heal faster."
"Senior Sister is right, Senior Brother's injuries need to be treated. This trip, I'm afraid we'll have to face people from the Demon Prison and Yuan Gate, so it's best to be careful."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this. The three of them quickly floated up from the Cold Pool, and in less than a Teacup of time, they had already arrived above the Cold Pool. This situation caused Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu's eyes to narrow slightly.
"Something must have happened in the Cold Pool just now!"
Ying Huanhuan turned her head to look at Ling Qingzhu. Although she didn't say anything, Ling Qingzhu found that she seemed to easily understand Ying Huanhuan's meaning and nodded secretly.
"The timing of our descent doesn't match up. Either something is interfering with our perception, or the space has been subtly affected."
"There must be some secret in this!"
Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu exchanged glances. They had not asked Lin Xuan where he had gone, nor had they asked where the injuries on Lin Xuan's body came from. If Lin Xuan didn't say, they wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
In fact, if Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu had asked, Lin Xuan would have told them about encountering the Plane of Origin, but he wouldn't have said much else, because he himself hadn't figured it out yet.
Yuan Gate, Yuan Region, ancestral home, inside the main hall.
Tian Yuanzi sat there with a composed face, his expression unreadable, but Ren Yuanzi next to him had a gloomy and angry expression, glaring at the Hongya Cave Master who had already been Demonic Contamination.
"Why haven't they made any moves yet? Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the information?"
Even when speaking, Ren Yuanzi stared straight at the Hongya Cave Master, almost directly saying that the Hongya Cave Master was a traitor who secretly colluded with Dao Sect and leaked the information to them.
However, the Hongya Cave Master heard this with a calm expression, without the slightest hint of anger on his face, as if Ren Yuanzi wasn't talking about him at all.
With his hands clasped in his wide sleeves, his eyes slowly opened, and after his calm gaze swept over Tian Yuanzi and the other two, he responded softly.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but compared to that, what's more important now is to lure them into the urn. As long as they enter this urn, we can catch them like turtles in a jar!"
"Moreover, even if the other party knows that we plan to lure them out, so what? As long as the Ice Ancestor Symbol is still there, they can't ignore it!"
This was a blatant scheme. Who told the Demon Prison to find the Ancestor Symbol before them? The situation was naturally passive. After all, the Ancestor Symbol could absolutely not be given up.
Ren Yuanzi kept a straight face and didn't speak. Recently, he had been increasingly displeased with the Hongya Cave Master. Ever since this guy was personally Demonic Contamination by His Highness of the Seven Kings Hall, he had been paying less and less attention to them.
"That's true, but Taiqing Palace has been silent all along. I'm afraid that the other party will wait until the Super Sect Tournament to secretly take the Ancestor Symbol away. At that time, not only will we lose an Ancestor Symbol, but we won't even be able to eliminate an opponent. If the adults blame us, no one will be able to escape the blame!"
Tian Yuanzi glanced at Ren Yuanzi, suppressed the latter's emotions, and then spoke faintly.
"I wonder what Sect Leader Tian Yuanzi thinks we should do?"
The Hongya Cave Master nodded slightly, and then asked Tian Yuanzi in a calm tone. Tian Yuanzi heard this and smiled gently, saying softly.
"In order to prevent the other party from continuing to delay, we need someone to put some pressure on them, so that they have no choice but to come out now and take the Ancestor Symbol away!"
"This matter still requires the Cave Master to personally make a trip over there. With your movement, the Sword Saint will definitely not be able to sit still."
Tian Yuanzi said with a smile. Last time, when the Hongya Cave Master went to Dao Sect, he had not yet been Demonic Contamination. Once he went, he would have to guard against the Ancestor Symbol being taken away by the Demon Prison.
The Demon Prison didn't dare to take this risk, and neither did the Tianxuan Continent side.
Let's not talk about the top experts created by the Ancestor Symbol, just the Ancestor Symbol itself is a great weapon. If the King Extinguishing Heavenly Disk could be blessed by the Eight Great Ancestor Symbols, even the King's Hall would have to be careful.
"Then I will follow Sect Leader Tian Yuanzi's words. This Cave Master will take his leave first."
After hesitating for a moment, the Hongya Cave Master responded softly, and as he spoke, he disappeared from the spot.
After the Hongya Cave Master left, the smile on Tian Yuanzi's face also faded, and with a hint of coldness, he snorted softly.
"Hmph, you actually want to stand on top of our Yuan Gate, then let him pay the price!"
"But the Seven Kings Hall..."
Ren Yuanzi hesitated, worried that the Demon Prison would punish them, but Tian Yuanzi sneered upon hearing this.
"As long as we complete the mission, his death is of no consequence!"
