After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

From the day when Xia Ling made up his mind to find out the reason why his body was behaving strangely, he began to examine himself very carefully.

The result, of course, was nothing.

During this period, I also asked Xiaojin, but it couldn't find the reason either.

And Simu Feng seemed determined to help her recover. In the past few days, he changed his career from a poison maker to a health master who made health-preserving and blood-replenishing soups.

Even Qi Huai, who was watching from the sidelines, drank a lot of the indescribable poison he cooked... Oh no, it should be said that the health-preserving soup that tasted a bit strange.

In order to avoid continuing to suffer, Xia Ling became more determined to find out as soon as possible why the problem with his body occurred.

After nearly two months, Xia Ling, who had gained nothing, lay on the blanket-covered ground, feeling bored and desperate.

Although the time inside the barrier is different from that in the outside world, it is not a solution to keep dragging it out without finding the reason.

Xia Ling sat up lazily, crossed his legs, propped up his face with his hands, and looked at his fellow brothers.

As the moon sank, Jiang Ci and Lin Xingfan had already entered a state of meditation a month ago.

The goal of the eldest senior brother seems to be to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, while the fourth senior brother Jiang Ci and the fifth senior brother Lin Xingfan have the same goal, which is - 'domain.'

The blessing of the domain to themselves is undoubtedly huge. If they can successfully comprehend it before the barrier is broken, it will definitely improve their survivability to a certain extent.

Simu Feng is currently practicing talismans, while Qi Huai has gone outside the barrier to practice swordsmanship, and the surroundings are exceptionally quiet.

Xia Ling retracted his gaze and asked casually: "Xiao Jin, do you think I can comprehend the domain during this period?"

Xiao Jin was silent for a moment, "It all depends on you."

"Ah, I see." Xia Ling replied perfunctorily, "Sword cultivators have sword realms, so if I cultivate all six paths, can I have six realms?"

"No." This time, Xiao Jin's answer was very decisive. "A domain is a special and unique existence. Everyone can only comprehend and possess one at most in their lifetime."

"I see." Xia Ling had looked for relevant ancient books before, and there was indeed no record of who could open two realms.

But she had originally thought that the complete cultivation of the six paths could create some different miracles, but it seemed that she was overthinking it.

But so far, no matter which path she took, she didn't feel any enlightenment, let alone realizing the realm.

She should have good understanding.

Xia Ling still has confidence in himself.

Xiao Jin guessed what she was thinking and comforted her, "You have only been in this world for less than two years. There is no need to rush."

Xia Ling didn't answer.

No need to rush?

She wanted to do so too.

Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow this.

Although the unjust cases concerning the Yue clan and the Su clan have been cleared, ghost cultivators can also return to the world.

But the disaster has not been resolved yet.

Many of the Dark Moon Palace's strongholds were destroyed, but the existence of this forbidden magic circle in the ancient secret realm meant that they definitely had a backup plan.

"Disaster..." Xia Ling murmured.

Ancient beings can actually be summoned.

So is it in the upper realm of cultivation now, or in the lower realm of cultivation?

While Xia Ling was thinking, a not-so-familiar young boy's voice appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"You'd better leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise this body may not last long."

The boy's voice was clear, cold, and without a trace of emotion.

The sword spirit of the annihilation artifact?

Xia Ling then remembered that he hadn't been able to greet it properly during this period of time.

but……

"What do you mean by this?"

Your body can’t hold out for long?

Annihilation's tone remained unchanged, "Don't forget, this body of yours is not made of real human flesh and blood."

Xia Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dark gleam flashed across his eyes.

Her current body was indeed transformed from the holy fruit of the elf world, but she had never mentioned this to anyone else. How would a new sword spirit know about it?

Annihilation in the space closed his eyes, feeling her emotions suddenly turn cold, without a ripple.

Without saying anything, he transmitted his voice through his soul: "Don't get me wrong. When the soul contract was established, I accidentally peeped into some of your memories. This is just a kind reminder. If you don't mind, you don't have to take it to heart."

Xia Ling used his spiritual sense to scan the owner of the voice.

The young man was dressed in black, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his hair and eyelashes were as white as snow, pure and flawless.

At this moment, he is sitting cross-legged in the quietest corner of the space with his eyes closed. His indifference, which keeps strangers away, hardly needs to be expressed in words.

He is a handsome man.

Xia Ling was not familiar with this new weapon spirit. Even though they had signed a soul contract, they did not have much trust in him. He withdrew his consciousness and said calmly, "Since you have said it, just make it clear."

Seeing her determination, Annihilation slowly opened his eyes. The golden color spreading in his blood-red pupils was strange and sacred. "Why not take a look at the Tengwen in your hand?"

After saying this, Xia Ling suddenly thought of something.

He closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions, then took a moment to calm down, avoiding the sight of others, squeezed out the blood with his fingertips and smeared it on his wrist.

A talisman appeared in his hand, and Xia Ling made a hand gesture. The next second, a complicated green pattern appeared on his originally flawless wrist.

When I rolled up my sleeves, I discovered that the green line, which was only two fingers wide, had spread from my wrist to my entire arm.

According to the trend, it will spread to the entire body within a few years.

Xia Ling's pupils shrank slightly and he gritted his teeth.

Damn...

In order to avoid being discovered by others, when she discovered that this body was not a real human body, she used secret techniques to cover up these words.

Over time, I actually ignored the existence of this thing.

However, she later calculated the speed of the spread and found that it shouldn't have been so fast.

Did she miscalculate, or... was there some other reason that exacerbated its spread?

Seeing that she remained silent, Annihilation added coldly, "You should have guessed that the day this Teng Wen spreads to your entire body is the day you... die."

"..."

Xia Ling controlled his emotions, lowered his sleeves, and used a secret method to hide it again.

"It seems that the reason I felt unwell during this period was not because I was close to the cliff, but because... the Teng Wen virus spread faster." She said with a hint of self-mockery, "I was too arrogant. I never thought that my judgment would be so wrong."

Death... For her, is it an inevitable outcome that is destined and cannot be changed?

According to the speed at which this article spread, she might not live for more than five years...

After Teng Wen spreads throughout the body, this body will gradually wither and turn into nutrients for the sacred flower, and eventually cease to exist.

No one had ever told her this, but she instinctively knew that this was not a guess or an assumption, but... a fact.

Annihilation did not understand human emotions, and simply relayed calmly, "You guessed it right. Based on the speed at which this body is decaying, you only have five years to live at most. During this time, as Tengwen spreads, you will suffer countless physical pains until you die completely."

"Yeah." Xia Ling had thought that he would be scared about this, but after truly realizing this, he found that he did not have any emotion at all.

After all, she was just a pawn of others.

Come to think of it, death is also planned and cannot be changed...so why should we be afraid of sadness?

Five years?

"Aren't you afraid?" Annihilation asked.

Xia Ling smiled and said, "Fortunately, if I were really going to die, I would forcibly sever the contract with you at all costs, so that you would not be implicated. By the way, don't tell Wuyou and the others about this matter for now, just keep it as our secret."

There was a ripple in Annihilation's calm eyes, "As you wish."

Xia Ling thought the topic was over, but he heard him say: "Your body is transformed from the holy fruit of the elves. The most evil and evil things in ancient times are natural enemies of the holy fruit. Long-term contact will accelerate the destruction of this body. This is why your body transformation became more serious when you approached the cliff."

The most evil thing of ancient times...

Xia Ling's grip tightened slightly. "Could it be that the 'disaster' has been summoned? In this village?"

Annihilation: "No, it's just a vaguely formed puppet, but the aura it emits is enough to affect your body."

Seeing that she was nervous, Annihilation said a few more words, "Even if the summoning is successful, it cannot descend in its original form due to the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth in the lower cultivation world."

Xia Ling didn't expect that he actually knew so much information. "Since he is an ancient being, even if he can't appear in his true form, I think there must be another way."

Annihilation hummed, "It can exist by parasitizing other bodies, but there are very few bodies that can withstand its original form. The monster lured you here but did not strangle you immediately. I think this is the reason. After all, you are the best geniuses in this world. It is best to sacrifice your bodies."

Xia Ling's doubts were answered, "Then do you know exactly when the dark moon that the monster mentioned will come?"

Annihilation: "Less than six months ago."

Half a year...

Xia Ling's mood fluctuated, "...Thank you. But how did you know all this?" Even if it was the spirit of a divine weapon, what it knew was too detailed. The top leaders of the five major sects might not know this information.

Annihilation did not answer again, as if it did not exist, and the sea of ​​consciousness returned to silence again.

Seeing this, Xia Ling didn't want to force it.

Without asking any more questions, I suppressed my curiosity about annihilation and began to plan what to do next.
