Chapter 388: 221: Meng Shushu's Gains, Entering the Ling Domain_2
Meng Chong looked at the dusty Meng Shushu, speaking with surprise.
“Of course not, I found a treasure spot and spent some time in there.”
Meng Shushu looked at the crowd, his heart shocked.
He had just come out of the treasure spot when he heard about a series of changes in the inner domain. The magnitude of the changes made him feel as if the world had turned upside down.
The powerful Dayue Kingdom had vanished, replaced by Dahua.
“Treasure spot?”
Meng Chong’s eyes brightened. Holding Meng Shushu’s shoulders, he laughed and asked, “Is it ours? Did you get a lot?”
As for the hiding pouches that Meng Shushu owed him, he did not care much anymore, having already acquired such pouches and no longer lacked for money.
“A lot!”
Meng Shushu nodded excitedly.
From his bosom, he carefully took out five hiding pouches that looked somewhat ancient.
“Look, these hiding pouches are larger than ordinary ones. They can store more things.”
Meng Shushu grinned widely, overjoyed.
His harvest this time was huge, including an ancient relic.
“This one’s for you, and this one’s for Senior Brother Xu.”
Meng Shushu stuffed two hiding pouches into the hands of Meng Chong and Xu Yan respectively.
Of the remaining three hiding pouches, he gave one to Su Lingxiu. “Inside,” he said, “are the gains from my trip, at least sixth-grade spiritual medicine, I seem to have found a fourth-grade spiritual medicine!”
Xu Yan and the others were shocked. What treasure spot did Meng Shushu go to that he gained so much?
Even a fourth-grade spiritual medicine that has never appeared in the inner domain was discovered?
Next, Meng Shushu mysteriously and excitedly said, “Do you know? My biggest gain this time is not the spiritual medicine, not the hiding pouches, but this!”
He took out an ancient book made of some kind of beast skin from a hiding pouch.
“Oh, what is it?”
Meng Chong raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued.
“Celestial Cultivation Technique!”
Meng Shushu solemnly said, “Above the Great Grandmaster, a complete Cultivation Technique for a Martial Arts Celestial!”
He looked at Xu Yan and the others.
Awaiting to see all of their shocked faces.
In the end, everyone’s expressions remained calm. They seemed unimpressed, as if the Celestial Cultivation Technique was not as valuable as the spiritual medicine.
“This is a Celestial Cultivation Technique, aren’t you excited?”
Meng Shushu was somewhat confused.
Xu Yan raised his hand and patted his shoulder, “Celestial, yeah, I know, I’ve killed one already, so it’s not a big deal.”
Meng Shushu:…
Killed he already killed one?
Meng Shushu was stunned, swallowing hard, “Senior Brother Xu, are you joking?”
“When I say I killed, I mean I killed. I never joke. I’m preparing to go to the Ling Domain, the Gate of Lingyu has already appeared, didn’t you know?”
Xu Yan chuckled out loud.
Meng Shushu was taken aback, the Gate of Lingyu, appeared?
He subconsciously looked at Su Lingxiu.
“Do you know something?”
Upon hearing the Gate of Lingyu, Meng Shushu subconsciously looked at Su Lingxiu. His action aroused suspicion, as if he knew something.
Su Lingxiu furrowed her eyebrows and asked.
“All? I just want you to check if it’s a fourth-grade spiritual medicine. Does the Celestial Cultivation Technique not compare to it?”
Meng Shushu grumbled.
He tried to change the subject, “I saw the Gate of Lingyu in some treasure spot, but I don’t know much about it.”
Meng Chong clapped his shoulder and said, “You seem to know a lot of things. Don’t hide it.”
“I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything!”
Meng Shushu shook his head fervently.
“Forget it, Second Senior Brother.”
Su Lingxiu shook her head as there was no need to pressure Meng Shushu to speak.
She remembered that her grandfather and Meng Shushu’s grandfather were close friends, and both had died because of the Yinlou Pavilion.
It was not surprising that Meng Shushu knew something, or even about her background.
But, since Meng Shushu didn’t speak, there was no need to force. As for her background, Su Lingxiu had let go and only cared about improving her strength.
If there were any enemies, she would kill them.
Meng Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and awkwardly said with the ancient book in hand, “Is the Celestial Technique really worthless?”
Xu Yan beckoned and took the book.
He skimmed through it and then said, “There’s nothing of great value here. To break through to the Heavenly Being in martial arts, one must enter the Ling Domain. It’s impossible to cultivate to the Heavenly Being level in the Inner Domain.”
“Now in the Inner Domain, the Dahua martial arts dominate, but you can still learn more about the cultivation of Heavenly Beings by looking at this.”
This Heavenly Being cultivation technique surprisingly covers all three realms of Heavenly Beings.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shushu couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
“Clanmate, where did you find this? In a Heavenly Being’s tomb?”
Meng Chong looked through the Heavenly Being’s cultivation technique and asked curiously.
“I accidentally stumbled into it. It’s an ancient relic buried underground, it seems to be a sect. There weren’t many remains left, but I found this cultivation technique in one of the storage pouches.”
Meng Shushu revealed where he found the treasure.
After Meng Chong had finished reading it, he handed it to Su Lingxiu, and then patted Meng Shushu on his shoulder, “Clanmate, you should switch to cultivating Dahua martial arts, otherwise, you would need to enter the Ling Domain to breakthrough, and the Ling Domain…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but it seemed like Meng Shushu understood.”
“I get it!”
Meng Shushu took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
In the end, the Heavenly Being cultivation technique found its way into Li Xuan’s hands.
Meng Shushu’s sudden return had delayed them a bit, but soon they were ready to embark on their journey to the northern wilderness.
In the northern wilderness, there was the Gate of Lingyu.
Li Xuan and his group arrived.
“Master, your disciple is going to the Ling Domain!”
Xu Yan took a deep breath, looked at his master, and spoke respectfully.
“Hmm,”
Li Xuan nodded his head.
“So this is the Gate of Ling Domain.”
Su Lingxiu couldn’t help but sigh.
Meng Shushu looked at the Gate of Ling Domain with a complex expression on his face, a flash of nostalgia mingling with a sense of loss and sorrow.
Xu Yan strode forward, moving toward the Gate of Ling Domain.
Atop the peak of Tianbao Pavilion, a group of powerful individuals from Tianbao Pavilion watched silently.
“Xu Yan is about to enter the Ling Domain!”
“What do you all think will happen to Xu Yan once he enters the Ling Domain?”
“With his exceptional talent, once he enters the Ling Domain, he will definitely be taken in by some power.”
the violet-crowned man sighed.
“Not necessarily, Xu Yan has a proud disposition, and the senior is unfathomable. He will most likely not join any other groups. Although being in the Ling Domain will naturally afford him some benefits.”
Rare talents like theirs were always given more privileges no matter where they were.
The stronger the talents, especially those of humble origins, the more major powers tended to recruit and train them as strong enforcers.
The Gate to the Ling Domain, with its ripples undulating, remained tightly closed.
Xu Yan arrived in front of the Gate of Ling Domain, and a surge of force erupted from him, causing the water-like door to become turbulent.
The Ling Domain.
Inside the grand hall located in front of the Gate of the Ling Domain, two soulgathering Heavenly Beings martial artists tasked with guarding the gate were seated on either side, silently cultivating.
Guarding the Gate of Ling Domain is largely an idle job. Since the incident with the Blood Demon, the Gate of Ling Domain has not been opened as frequently as before. The number of times it has been opened till now can be counted on one hand.
Even fewer have been the people who entered the Inner Domain.
The most recent opening was due to Jiao Ming and Ping’er of the Shui Xing Palace.
If not for these two individuals who are yet to return from the Inner Domain, they would have wanted to completely close the Gate of Ling Domain right away.
As for allowing martial artists from the Inner Domain to come in, they have never considered it, and the Spirit Sect of the Ling Domain has not brought up the matter of Inner Domain martial artists coming to the Ling Domain.
It seems that they intend to completely close off the ascent path from that inferior land.
They seem to believe they no longer need the possibly talented individuals that may still be there.
Suddenly, with a hum, the two pillars inside the Great Hall began to vibrate, and a layer of water-like force was undulating on the pillars.
A faint glow was shining on the pillars.
“Oh? Has either Jiao Ming or that unruly girl returned?”
From the fluctuations in the pillars, it could be inferred that the person trying to open the Gate of Ling Domain was not a weakling and couldn’t be compared to those martial artists from the Inner Domain.
“Let’s open it. Once these two return, we can completely close the Gate of Ling Domain.”
The other individual spoke.
He lifted his hand and a surge of power was channeled into the pillar, causing the pillar to slowly turn.
The Gate of Ling Domain opened.
Xu Yan turned back to take one last look at his Master and the others. After inhaling deeply, he resolutely stepped into the Gate of Ling Domain.
In a flash, a clone of divine essence from Li Xuan followed Xu Yan into the Gate of Ling Domain.
Upon entering the Gate of Ling Domain, they saw the Gate of Ling Domain situated between two mountains, with a gigantic palace standing in front of them.
The divine essence clone intended to move forward through the palace but suddenly, with the closing of the Gate of Ling Domain, its connection with its main body significantly weakened.
