Chapter 824 The Man Who Emerged from the Shadows

In addition to Yan Qiushui's memories, Lin Yi also acquired Luo Zhen's memories.

This guy's strength is not on the same level as Yan Qiushui's. The Dark Xing organization on Aiven Star is also developing much better than that on Beset Planet. Their research progress is naturally much better than that of Beset Planet.

With this data to support him, Lin Yi was confident that he could research what he wanted to obtain within a month.

The headquarters and testing center of the Dark Xing Society.

Three enormous emerald gems, each the size of a small mountain, were arranged in a triangle within a massive array.

At the bottom of the formation, blue inscriptions emitted a flowing light, constantly drawing upon source energy.

The Great Sage and Wuzhiqi martial souls manifested miniature forms, floating beside Lin Yi, watching the operating formation.

"Hey!"

The Great Sage suddenly sighed.

This sigh immediately piqued Wuzhiqi's interest.

A monkey dressed in shiny black and silver armor approached the Great Sage with a smug look on its face and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong, little monkey? Are you regretting not following those guys' wishes to become a god back then?"

"Indeed, if you had followed their wishes, not only would you have become a broken soul, but your strength would have definitely improved, and it's even possible that you would have reached the level I was at in life. It's just a pity that your heart is too kind."

You know what, Wuzhiqi's guess was actually correct.

Sun Wukong was indeed regretting his decision.

It's not wrong to stick to your principles, but choosing to fight head-on when you know you're outmatched is somewhat foolish.

With his talent and physique, Sun Wukong could easily endure it. Looking at all the gods and immortals, how many people could outlast Sun Wukong?

"Great Sage, that's enough. I'm still here. Let me do what you couldn't do and what you wanted to do."

The Great Sage had nothing to say about this.

There's no point in dwelling on the past.

The experiment on source energy purification is almost complete, with only a few key steps yet to be resolved.

Lin Yi's thinking was very clear: relying on the Great Sage and Wuzhiqi's understanding of source power, he would gradually overcome these problems.

“I think the extracted source power cannot be refined because the original owner’s will still remain in the refined source power. I remember you have certain refining abilities, and those special flames. Why don’t you try to inject the power of flames into them and go through the process of refining medicine or refining weapons?”

"When that old man was refining it, didn't he also have to go through this process?"

Upon hearing Wuzhiqi mention it, Lin Yi suddenly realized that it seemed to be true.

Just as they were about to start work, a curvaceous man in black robes came into Lin Yi's view.

What time is this?!
Not only Lin Yi, but even the souls of the Great Sage and Wuzhiqi showed surprise.

Even the two powerful figures didn't realize when the person in front of them had appeared.

Before Lin Yi could react, the man in black robes removed his mask, revealing a cascade of bright purple wavy hair. His fair and delicate features were naturally alluring, and just one glance was enough to make Lin Yi's mind wander.

Even without clearly sensing the other party's strength, Lin Yi could guess that the woman in front of him was no ordinary person.

"Lord Wuzhiqi, Great Sage, I never expected to meet you two great beings here. I am extremely honored."

After saying that, the woman in black respectfully cupped her hands in greeting.

From the woman in black's words, it's not hard to discern her identity. She must be a member of the current pantheon of gods.

Judging from the divine power emanating from her, she is quite strong.

It would be very troublesome to deal with Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage in their current state.

"Heh, what kind of junior are you? It's not bad that you can recognize us. It's just a pity that I have no recollection of you at all."

"Where did this little girl come from? We've seen her before!"

Both Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage assumed fighting stances:
The golden cudgel appeared in the Great Sage's hand at some point, and a water dragon coiled and leaped in Wuzhiqi's claws, its killing intent clearly visible.

In this tense moment, Lin Yi stretched out his hand, placing it in front of Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage.

"Gentlemen, please calm down. If this man intended to attack us, I would already be dead."

"Her appearance at this moment might actually bring us some benefits."

Sure enough, it was no accident that this kid could win the favor of both Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage at the same time; he really does think very fast.

The woman did not deny Lin Yi's explanation and began to introduce herself.

"Greetings, Brother Lin Yi. My name is Zi Yue. I am a minor deity in the Desire Realm Heavenly Human Path plane. My status among the gods is insignificant. What is important is that you have noticed the Dark Xing organization."

"You should already know the purpose of our organization. On the surface, I am one of the gods, but in reality, I am their enemy."

"You two are both powerful beings who are irreconcilable enemies of the gods. As the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I dare not presume to establish a relationship with you two. However, I can offer you assistance."

Zi Yue gave a brief introduction to the Dark Xing Society.

The Dark Rising not only exists in lower planes, but also has its traces in higher planes.

Ever since the Great Sage caused such a commotion, the rules governing the survival of gods in all the heavens and myriad realms have been revealed.

No matter how the powerful figures among the gods tried, they could not completely block these messages.

And so, the name Anxing came into being.

After thousands of years of development, the power of Dark Rising has reached an unprecedented level.

Although it is still worlds apart from the power of the gods, it is still quite different from the power of an individual.

"Brother Lin Yi, you are just an ordinary person, but you have reached this point through your own abilities, which shows your strength. At such a young age, you have already achieved so much. It is hard to imagine what level you can reach in the future."

"So, we've been keeping an eye on you for a long time. Several times, our people from Anxing have planned to step in to help you out of trouble, but you've always managed to overcome difficulties on your own, causing our plans to win you over to fail several times."

"This time, we finally have a chance."

"We have mastered the method of refining the collected source energy into source energy that can be directly applied to the user to enhance strength. Although it is not as good as what those god-level big shots have obtained, it is not much worse."

"How about it, become one of us?"

After saying that, Ziyue took out a ring inlaid with a purple crystal from her East African Rift Valley and handed it to Lin Yi.

"You have to eat one bite at a time and make plans one step at a time. Surviving in the myriad worlds, where undercurrents are surging and dangers lurk everywhere, is not an easy thing."

"I can join your Dark Star, but it's not certain for the two big shots. I can't control their thoughts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi slightly activated his gravity manipulation skill and snatched the ring from Zi Yue's hand into his own.
