The spiritual energy transformed by the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique flowed through Ye Ling's meridians, and an exceptionally powerful aura emanated from his body.
Ye Ling suppressed his aura to the Emperor Realm, even using a secret art to weaken his physical strength, making his cultivation appear as if he had just broken through to the Emperor Realm.
The sky churned with wind and clouds, and the entire Jianlong Divine Mountain's aura became extremely oppressive.
All things slowed their movements, and every blade of grass and tree fell under Ye Ling's control.
Boom!
It was as if something had exploded within Ye Ling's body, and a wondrous power spread outwards at a speed surpassing everything in the world, piercing through time and space, reaching towards the universe.
"This cultivation technique should be considered an Emperor Realm peak-level technique, capable of touching the threshold of Supremacy. The person who created such a technique is not surprising even if they are a Supremacy... I wonder if Earth can withstand the battle between us..."
"Just in case, it's better to create an extra space..."
Ye Ling saw that his Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique had reached great success. He could faintly sense a pair of eyes staring at him and also foresaw that a great battle was imminent.
Without hesitation, Ye Ling directly covered the valley with his spiritual energy, separating it from Earth and placing it into a newly created space.
This way, from the outside, the valley where Ye Ling was located appeared unchanged. However, upon entering the valley, one would automatically be teleported to another space.
No matter how fierce the battle in this valley was, it would be the other space that was damaged, not affecting Earth in the slightest.
After completing all these preparations, Ye Ling closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to appear.
Time flowed by, drop by drop. On the side of the living swamp, the battle between the mud and the evil spirits had reached a fever pitch. However, the Blood Slaughtering Qilin's mind was not focused on the fierce battle before it. Instead, its eyes were filled with worry as it gazed in Ye Ling's direction.
Although it did not know what had happened, the powerful aura it had sensed earlier made it extremely uneasy.
Even though it could ascend to become an immortal, judging by the power Ye Ling was currently displaying, its own strength was merely a drop in the bucket and could not help in any way.
All it could do was to silently pray.
"This world..."
The Blood Slaughtering Qilin murmured, thinking of Ye Ling and other unknown powerful beings. A trace of confusion and worry flashed in its eyes, "Can it truly continue to exist?"
It deeply felt...
Its own insignificance.
In the valley.
Ye Ling sat cross-legged in front of the Purple Thunder Qilin's skeleton, surrounded by mist-like spiritual energy, exuding an aura of extreme sanctity.
It gave a sense of peace.
This mist-like spiritual energy was derived from circulating the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique. It was transcendent and its power was not weak.
If Ye Ling hadn't known what kind of "stuff" this Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique truly was, he might have actually believed that this cultivation method was created by some renowned righteous sect master.
"Child, you have done very well..."
At this moment, a supremely gentle female voice echoed in Ye Ling's mind, followed by a warm stream of spiritual energy enveloping Ye Ling's soul.
'Here it comes!'
Hearing the gentle voice, Ye Ling slightly opened his eyes, perfectly concealing his killing intent, and feigned shock, asking, "Who are you?"
"Child... do not be afraid. My name is Taiyi Qingxian, and I am the creator of the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique you are cultivating."
"I have been searching for a child to inherit my legacy for millions of years... I have finally found you, child. You have sufficient ability to inherit my legacy."
Upon hearing Taiyi Qingxian's words, Ye Ling smiled subtly and then said, "Why should I believe you? Stop playing these tricks and show yourself!"
Taiyi Qingxian said, "I know you do not believe me, but I can prove my identity."
"Child, please believe me, I will not harm you."
"How can you prove it?" Ye Ling asked, feigning ignorance.
"Child, the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique you are cultivating is only an incomplete version and needs to be perfected. Listen to my incantation..."
Taiyi Qingxian recited a passage of incantation in Ye Ling's mind, completing the flaws in the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique.
However, Ye Ling had already perfected this technique on his own. At this moment, he could only cooperate with Taiyi Qingxian's performance and run through the technique, feigning shock and saying, "It's truly perfected! When I was cultivating the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique before, I always felt something was wrong, but I couldn't find it!"
"Now, after perfecting it according to your incantation, all the doubts in my heart are resolved! You are truly a divine being, Senior!"
"By continuing to cultivate with the current technique, all the hidden dangers within my body can be resolved. Senior, you are indeed the creator of the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique!"
Ye Ling did not hold back his praise, continuously flattering Taiyi Qingxian, trying to elevate her to the heavens!
After all, he was tricking a fool, so the more exaggerated the praise, the better.
Taiyi Qingxian was still somewhat cautious at this moment and had not directly descended to Earth. She was merely communicating with Ye Ling through the Great Evolution Heavenly Derivation Heart Technique.
If Ye Ling showed the slightest anomaly, Taiyi Qingxian would likely disappear immediately!
At that point, Ye Ling would no longer be able to capture her!
This was the only chance.
Ye Ling continued, "I believe you now, Senior. How can I inherit the legacy you mentioned?"
Taiyi Qingxian chuckled, "Heh heh... No rush, child. I still need to examine your talent and see which lineage of mine you are suitable to cultivate. Please wait a moment."
'I suspect she wants to test my soul's strength and my physical condition, right?'
Ye Ling sneered inwardly. He could feel a weak but high-quality spiritual energy scanning his entire body, probing his condition.
Regarding this, Ye Ling remained unfazed, allowing Taiyi Qingxian to investigate.
He was quite confident in his methods of concealing his strength. Even if a peer of equal cultivation came, they might not be able to see through his hidden power, let alone this Taiyi Qingxian who didn't even have a physical body?
Soon, Taiyi Qingxian's power disappeared from within Ye Ling's body. Then, her slightly surprised voice echoed in Ye Ling's mind, "Good! Good! Child, you are truly excellent! Your body is simply too amazing!"
"My body is too amazing?" Ye Ling was stunned, feeling that his thoughts were starting to head in an unhealthy direction.
"Ahem... What I mean is, child, you can completely inherit my legacy. All my skills can be perfectly displayed in you. I am so excited..."
Taiyi Qingxian smiled, "Come, child, relax your entire body. I will impart all my life's learning to you!"
Ye Ling felt an extremely powerful force flying in from beyond the universe, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He deliberately let down all his guard, saying, "Thank you, Senior. Your great kindness... this junior is deeply grateful."
"It is only right to mentor the younger generation,"
Taiyi Qingxian smiled. Her power permeated Ye Ling's entire being, pouring into every meridian, completely enveloping Ye Ling's soul.
Then, a peerlessly beautiful woman with an extremely powerful aura materialized behind Ye Ling.
"Perfect..."
Her slender fingers gently stroked Ye Ling's cheek. Her lips parted slightly, and she whispered into Ye Ling's ear, "Your body... is too perfect..."
"Sister... I'm a little reluctant to part with it."
